Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 47

“So this is what demons looks like.” Wang Wanrou pondered for a moment, then sneered, “Yellow Springs Road? Quite fitting. So now, the ones we’re killing are just wandering spirits on the Yellow Springs Road?”

“Do you think what Ye Ru said is credible?” Cheng Jinyang asked hesitantly.

“Credibility should be determined by actual evidence, not by feelings,” Wang Wanrou paused and continued, “Since you trust Ye Ru, why don’t you go check out Changxing Island?”

“You also think there’s something wrong with Changxing Island?” Cheng Jinyang showed a look of “great minds think alike” and nodded seriously, “Looks like we think the same.”

“I don’t think there’s a problem with Changxing Island,” Wang Wanrou said blandly, “But according to Ye Ru, if the entire Songjiang ruins are a huge screening station, and most of the resurrected puppets cannot pass the screening and have to stay for nine days before coming back to life in reality, then where do you think those that pass the screening, the ‘Monstrosities’, go?”

“I see.” Cheng Jinyang suddenly understood, and said excitedly, “So if the Songjiang ruins are a basket for the puppets, the Monstrosities that are screened out will be sent to Changxing Island? If we go to Changxing Island, we can harvest Monstrosities in bulk?”

“You go check it out first,” Wang Wanrou interrupted him, “Don’t fly, take the ground route, and let Qingwan accompany you for reconnaissance.”

“Not Yuanzhi or Wangshu?” Cheng Jinyang confirmed.

“Taking the ground route is to remain as hidden as possible. One close combat specialist is enough,” Wang Wanrou explained, “You two go check out Changxing Island first, confirm it’s a Monstrosity gathering place, and then come back.”

“Alright.” Cheng Jinyang thought for a moment and, finding no issue, called the girls over and told them about it.

A Monstrosity gathering place? The girls were shocked.

You have to know, the bloodline concentration bonus from killing a Monstrosity is 20 times that of a puppet! If we can harvest Monstrosities in bulk like the puppets, wouldn’t the upgrade speed increase by 20 times?

What does 20 times mean? Rising to sixth grade in a week, fifth grade in two months!

Even the cool and calm girl Ah Zhi couldn’t help but show a shocked expression: What? In two months, I could become the head of the Xing clan?

Without delay, Cheng Jinyang and Li Qingwan immediately set off, and the other girls lost interest in continuing to harvest the puppets, so they found a safe house nearby to huddle up.

“Hey, Wanrou, are you serious about what you said?” Cui Jinqi asked curiously.

“This is bad. I originally planned to get a check-up next week and tell my father my bloodline talent had improved,” Chu Qingqing also smiled bitterly, “If the upgrade speed becomes 20,000 Ma overnight, wouldn’t that be 730,000 Ma in a year, and 14 million Ma in 20 years? Everyone, we’ve broken a billion, we’re going to be guaranteed third grade!”

Everyone was speechless.

What does guaranteed third grade mean? It would directly elevate our families to the pinnacle, seriously challenging the current Five Great Families’ structure!

For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but look at Wang Wanrou and Cui Jinqi to see how these two daughters of the Five Great Families would react.

“I don’t mind,” Cui Jinqi said generously, “If I reach third grade, our family will have two third-grade supernaturals, and the family will surely be happy.”

“The Qinghe Cui clan, the Taiyuan Wang clan, their current status isn’t solely reliant on third-grade supernaturals,” Wang Wanrou said calmly, “So, you don’t need to worry about us.”

The girls: …………

No, we’re not worried about your families, we’re worried you two won’t be able to handle going from Five Great Family girls to Nine Great Family girls!

However, Miss Wang still remained narcissistic, and Cui Xiaoniang still naive, so the girls were reassured and started chatting about other topics.

On the other side, Cheng Jinyang took Li Qingwan and flew at a low altitude, maintaining about the height of a second floor, swiftly passing over the cars below.

“Amazing.” Li Qingwan murmured, “I heard before that if people from our family reach the second grade, they can walk in the air with physical strength alone. I didn’t expect to experience it now.”

“Has anyone from the Longxi Li clan reached the second grade?” Cheng Jinyang asked with a smile.

“No,” Li Qing Wan shook her head, “No supernatural in human history has reached the second grade, which requires 1 billion Ma.”

1 billion Ma… Even though Cheng Jinyang felt he was overpowered, he still found it too exaggerated. How many puppets would you have to kill?

Slaughter all the demons?

Seeing him silent, Li Qingwan smiled and said:

“Of course, only the fifth grade and the third grade mark the qualitative change in abilities. If I could reach the third grade, my life would be complete, and I wouldn’t dare to hope for the second grade.”

“Then you can reserve a complete life,” Cheng Jinyang said. “By calculating the current rate of advancement, if it increases twentyfold, you will definitely reach the third grade in fifteen years.”

“Yes,” Li Qingwan also did the calculations, “If I can steadily reach the third grade, my father probably wouldn’t force me to marry.”

“Your father wants to marry you off?”

“Yes, he originally wanted me to marry a clansman with the potential for the fourth grade so that I wouldn’t be bullied in the clan in the future.”

“Would a person with the potential for the fifth grade be bullied in the Li clan?”

“Not really…” Li Qingwan paused, “It’s just that they would still face some differential treatment.”

“For example, during holidays, items are usually distributed from the third grade downward. Sometimes the steward wants to save money, so those of the fifth grade don’t get anything. Also, when children go to school in the future, if people ask about your parents’ highest grade and hear it’s the fifth grade, they might place you at the bottom of the class.”

“Would there be places with signs saying ‘No Fifth Grade and Dogs Allowed’?”

“Not that extreme. But similar places do exist; they just don’t blatantly display it. However, if you really walk in, people will look at you with exclusionary eyes.”

“… It’s really a larger-scale version of India.”

“India?”

“No, it’s nothing,” Cheng Jinyang changed the subject. “I just think it’s surprising that a renowned family like the Five Great Families Longxi Li family also practices such a cruel internal competition system.”

“Internal competition?” Li Qingwan smiled, “This is not internal competition; it’s rigid class stratification. For most people, no matter how unbearable the treatment for the fifth grade is, they can’t rise to the fourth grade through hard work. The differential treatment stems from the fact that people below don’t have the chance to advance and gain power.”

“The only loophole might be marriage. If you can marry a high-ranked clansman, your status and treatment naturally improve.”

At this point, Li Qingwan paused and said:

“Actually, I was serious about what I said that day.”

“Serious? About what?” Cheng Jinyang pondered.

“That ‘marrying you is fine,'” Li Qingwan said seriously, “because I don’t want to marry someone from the clan.”

“I really hate this family.”
