Are Golden Fingers Coming in Droves Now?
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: @Lin Yu, can you tell me if there are any famous people where you are? I'll check whether there are any records of them in my world.]
For the moment, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't be sure which zombie world Lin Yu was in, so she could only ask him first.
Looks like this group leader isn't some huge swindler. She probably chose that name to inspire a little fear. She's probably an ordinary modern person. Lin Yu thought it over after seeing the group leader's question.
[Lin Yu: The master I've just taken is called Lin Jiu. Everyone in the surrounding villages knows him, but I don't know if he counts as famous.]
Lin Yu was sure the group leader was a fellow transmigrator, but to be cautious, he still didn't reveal that he was one too.
Although it was a little out of place for his master to have an extra disciple, it was better to leave others guessing than to let them be certain.
Away from home, meeting a fellow countryman didn't necessarily mean both of you would burst into tears.
If his fellow transmigrators couldn't tolerate another one of their kind, it would still be easy enough for them to kill him.
Su Xiaoxiao: Uncle Nine? That zombie world? But Uncle Nine didn't seem to have a disciple named Lin Yu in the original story. The butterfly effect? Or a transmigrator?
Forget it. Whichever it is, it's his business. If he doesn't want to reveal it, he doesn't have to.
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Are you in Ren Family Town right now? Your master has two other disciples named Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng. Wait a moment, and I'll upload the plot of your world.]
[Lin Yu: Yes, group leader, you got everything right. Shocked.jpg]
After seeing Lin Yu confirm it, Su Xiaoxiao uploaded the entire Mr. Vampire movie.
It really was a chat group, all right. It was fast, taking less than a second to finish.
For a while, everyone hanging around in the group accepted it and started watching. They were bored anyway, and having a movie to watch helped pass the time.
[Xu Xian: Wow, Lin Yu's world is dangerous too. That zombie is so disgusting.]
[Huang Rong: Mm-hmm, it really is disgusting, and a little scary too. I wonder if martial arts could beat it. Scared.gif]
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Although I don't know why there's an extra you, this really is how things develop in your world. You need to be careful of the ghosts and monsters that appear later. Rubbing hands.gif]
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Also, Zhang Sanfeng and the other group members have uploaded martial arts manuals. If you want to learn, you can take a look.]
Looking at the group leader's warning and the picture of an index finger and thumb that followed it, Lin Yu immediately realized she was asking for something in return.
Putting everything together, Lin Yu also knew that this group leader wasn't like those huge swindlers without any bottom line. She wouldn't pretend to be a great immortal to cheat the group members, but she wouldn't let her advantage go to waste either.
Honestly, if there hadn't already been a group leader, Lin Yu wouldn't have wanted to let the opportunity for profit slip by either. After all, he knew the plots of those movies too.
[Zhang Sanfeng: The group leader is collecting protection fees again. Don't be afraid, young friend. Come over to my place. With me here, the group leader can't beat me. Crooked-mouthed dragon king.jpg]
Reading Zhang Sanfeng's message, Lin Yu's mouth twitched. Was this really the immortal-like Zhang Sanfeng?
[Lin Yu: Ahem, thank you for the warning, group leader, but can you really bear to ask an eight-year-old child for protection fees? Pitiful.jpg]
[Huang Rong: Oh my, Xiao Yu, come over here. The group leader is so mean.]
[Ning Caichen: The group leader is so mean.]
[Xu Xian: I think so too.]
[Zhang Sanfeng: The group leader is mean... ahem, this old man still can't bring himself to say it.]
[Shi Hao: Great! Finally, someone about my age.]
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Stop messing around. It's not like you don't know how dangerous it is here. Besides, this is an equivalent exchange, okay?]
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Well, Xiao Yu, since you're still young, you probably don't have much. I won't ask you for anything.]
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: But if your master has any talismans he doesn't want, remember to send me plenty of them.]
After seeing the background of Lin Yu's world and considering his age, Su Xiaoxiao knew he had nothing to exchange.
She could only come away disappointed, though she then vaguely asked Lin Yu to keep a closer eye on Uncle Nine.
Lin Yu read the group members' messages. Although they were all standing up for him, they were also indirectly looking out for the group leader's interests.
After all, some newcomers wouldn't give the group leader anything after learning the truth, but with Zhang Sanfeng putting it that way, they would be too embarrassed not to.
Still, everyone who joined the chat group was family, and after hearing that Lin Yu was an eight-year-old child, they all stood up for him as well.
[Lin Yu: Thank you, group leader. I don't have anything good either, so I'll send you some points.]
With that, Lin Yu sent ten points. Though he didn't know what points were worth, ten wasn't a small amount, right?
[Lin Yu's exclusive red envelope]
[Ding~ Omniscient and Omnipotent claimed Lin Yu's red envelope and received ten points.]
Once Su Xiaoxiao claimed it, the group also learned how many points Lin Yu had sent.
[Huang Rong: Envious.jpg. Group leader, how about letting me explain things next time? I want points too.]
[Omniscient and Omnipotent: Impossible! You dare try to steal this group leader's job? Smug.jpg]
Watching everyone fool around in the chat group, Lin Yu felt there was nothing important going on for the moment, so he left.
His most pressing task now was to understand the cultivation technique. He didn't want to end up like Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, who were still only at the beginner level after more than ten years.
But he had no idea where to start for the moment, so he decided to try the chat group's one-click function.
"System, I want to learn the Maoshan Qi Refining Technique. How many points will it cost?" Lin Yu asked in his mind.
[Ding~ Reaching the beginner level of the Maoshan Qi Refining Technique requires 50 points. Would you like to pay?]
"Pay." Seeing that he still had 990 points, Lin Yu chose to pay.
As the points were deducted, Lin Yu felt as though a divine elixir had been poured over his head. In an instant, his brain was like it had been fitted with a V8 engine, and countless bits of knowledge flooded into it.
He looked again at the Maoshan Qi Refining Technique in his hands. What he hadn't understood just moments ago, he now grasped in an instant.
Just as Lin Yu was still immersed in this incredibly exhilarating enlightenment, the V8 engine suddenly turned into an old geezer's tractor.
Being left hanging like that made Lin Yu terribly uncomfortable, and his face looked as though he were constipated.
"System, you really are stingy. When you said beginner level, you meant it to the letter."
As he spoke, Lin Yu clumsily tried out the technique he had just grasped. He felt that if he kept at it a little longer, he might master it.
[Ding! A cultivating transmigrator from Earth has been detected. Mother planet's blessing obtained: Heaven-Defying Comprehension.]
While Lin Yu was still wondering whether to spend more points to push the cultivation technique to major accomplishment, the mechanical voice he'd heard when he first bound the chat group rang out in his head again.
In an instant, Lin Yu felt as though his entire spirit and vitality had changed. That feeling of sudden enlightenment had returned.
Lin Yu decisively began reading the Maoshan Qi Refining Technique in earnest.
And the deeper he read, the more his presence rose along with it.
"Hmm!" Outside the room, Uncle Nine, who had been supervising Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng's cultivation, sensed spiritual Qi gathering toward the room.
"Could it be Xiao Yu~?" His newly accepted disciple Lin Yu was the only one in the room now. At that thought, shock appeared on his face. He had only just given Lin Yu the cultivation technique. Surely he hadn't found his Qi sense so quickly?
"Master, what's wrong? What's got you so surprised?" Wen Cai quietly asked Qiu Sheng.
"How should I know? Go ask him." Qiu Sheng urged Wen Cai to go over.
"Forget it. I wouldn't dare." Wen Cai shrank back.
Because Lin Yu had only just found his Qi sense, he wasn't attracting much spiritual Qi yet. Unless someone with a high cultivation level sensed it carefully, others might not even notice.
Much less Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who never sensed spiritual Qi and only knew how to slack off.
Uncle Nine had kept part of his attention on what was happening inside ever since coming out, so he noticed it immediately.
He was already imagining the scene when he mentioned a disciple who had found his Qi sense in less than one shichen to his fellow disciples.
"All right, go and rest." Delighted by Lin Yu's talent, Uncle Nine let Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng off.
"Do you think Master's gone mad from worrying about gains and losses? How come he was shocked one moment and so happy the next?" Wen Cai whispered.
"Who cares? We can rest now. Aren't you happy? I'm going to help out at my aunt's shop. Be careful on your own," Qiu Sheng said indifferently. Happy to have a break, he ran off, afraid Uncle Nine would change his mind.
