Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 35

After returning from her meeting with Yujing San, Wang Wanrou kept a mysterious smile on her face, which made everyone instinctively uneasy.

Yujing San, on the other hand, maintained a sour expression throughout, as if everyone present owed her a fortune.

The Mara suspended in the air was executed quickly and cleanly, without the gruesome treatment everyone had feared.

After all, they weren’t sadists. Even if there were a few odd individuals among them, they wouldn’t reveal their true nature in front of everyone.

After killing the first Mara, two more Maras appeared shortly, approaching from both sides. This time, Yujing San neither acted nor spoke, maintaining an icy poker face as if she didn’t recognize these two demons at all.

However, Cheng Jinyang guessed from her subtle glances that she probably knew these two enemies but didn’t want to reveal it.

As Yujing San had previously explained, puppets are low-level creatures without self-awareness and are somewhat better than anomalies and ghosts, being closer to intelligent wild beasts.

Only when you reach the level of Mara will you have normal IQ and personality.

Despite Yujing San’s explanation, everyone sensed that Maras seemed to be not very smart, roughly equivalent to humans with lower IQs.

Thus, a few simple and effective ability tactics led to the successful elimination of the second wave of enemies.

Although they didn’t have a bloodline detection device, Miss Wang’s real-time analysis estimated that each Mara’s death provided about 200 Ma.

According to Yujing San, this was due to the world’s restriction on the dispersal of blood energy, limiting absorption from killing demons to no more than 500 Ma.

If the restriction were lifted, the absorption rate would increase to one percent, depending on the target’s bloodline concentration.

Therefore, they needed to verify Yujing San’s claim and see if they could find a new upgrading strategy.

“For the third round, we need to sacrifice someone,” Wang Wanrou suddenly said upon returning to the safe house, “to test the current mechanism’s death penalty.”

“No need to test,” Yujing San interjected, “I told you before: you’re all around Grade Five now, with over a million Ma bloodline concentration, and the blood energy dispersal for Grade Five won’t exceed 500 Ma. So, for you, death has almost no noticeable loss.”

“We still need to test it,” Wang Wanrou said calmly, without arguing, “Who will it be?”

“I’ll be the main force in the upcoming battle, so I’d rather not volunteer,” Cheng Jinyang said quickly, as he noticed her gaze falling on him.

“I can revive you,” Wang Wanrou said calmly.

Xing Yuanzhi suddenly noticed that Yujing San didn’t seem surprised at all when she heard “revive,” instead, she sneered slightly to herself.

Seeing Cheng Jinyang’s awkward silence, Wang Wanrou turned to say, “Since Jinyang doesn’t want to accept, then Jinqi, you go.”

Cui Jinqi: ???

“Your ability to self-destruct can conveniently take out all four Maras at once,” Wang Wanrou said calmly.

“But I don’t want to die!” Cui Jinqi said with a sorrowful face, “I’m afraid of pain.”

“Then let me do it,” Li Qingwan volunteered.

“Alright,” Wang Wanrou said indifferently.

So, Li Qingwan went out.

About ten minutes later, the door of the safe house was knocked on from outside. When they opened it, they saw Li Qingwan standing there. One arm was missing, the other arm had a bone spur sticking out from the elbow, her legs were unnaturally twisted, her abdomen was shattered on one side revealing wriggling organs, and half of her face was torn off, exposing a cracked skull.

“Sorry about that,” Li Qingwan said apologetically as everyone stared in shock, “I got a bit carried away and accidentally killed all four Maras. So, should I now commit suicide or what?”

Zheng Qiupei hurried over to bandage Li Qingwan, but Li Qingwan politely refused. To heal her injuries, she could just use her ability, so she was likely maintaining her severe condition deliberately. The reasons for this were left unsaid, but those who understood would know.

Despite Teacher Li’s repeated refusals, Sister Xiaopei was unusually insistent this time, wrapping up her bloody and mangled wounds with bandages, and carefully realigning her broken limbs.

Li Qingwan grimaced in pain, gasping and saying, “Forget it, Sister Xiaopei, it might be better to just die and be revived later… Ugh, alright, if you want to bandage, then do it…”

“Since that’s the case,” Wang Wanrou examined her injuries and said, “it’s probably time for the Demon God to have a go. You should test their capabilities for us.”

“Alright,” Li Qingwan agreed with a nod.

She suddenly straightened up, and there was a series of popping sounds as her bones realigned. Then her body healed completely.

Li Qingwan went out again, and Lu Qingyun couldn’t help but ask, “Wanrou, are you sending Qingwan to die, or to test the opponent’s strength as much as possible?”

“Both,” Wang Wanrou replied.

“What do you mean by both?” Lu Qingyun couldn’t understand.

“If the opponent is very strong, then you test their strength while sending Li Qingwan to die,” Chu Qingqing explained for Miss Wang.

“And if the opponent is very weak?” Lu Qingyun asked again.

“Then it’s like before,” Cui Xiaoniang said, “Directly kill the opponent and then come back and commit suicide.”

Lu Qingyun: ………

Alright, I just wasn’t thinking straight.

“How’s it going, Xiao Yunyun?” a voice in her head said. “Struggling to keep up with the team’s strategy?”

“Shut up!” Lu Qingyun shouted irritably.

The safe house was located on the sixth floor of a residential building. Looking down from the balcony, Li Qingwan was standing in the central plaza of the neighborhood, perfectly visible from their vantage point.

At this moment, although she was wrapped in bandages, her wounds had already healed, and her fractures were fully recovered, looking as good as new.

Since this was their first encounter with a Demon God level enemy, everyone felt uncertain and their expressions grew serious.

“No need to guess,” Yujing San said with a gloating expression, “Demon Gods are enemies you’re not capable of defeating at your current stage.”

“Are there any differences in battle style between Demon Gods and Maras?” Cheng Jinyang asked seriously, “Aside from bloodline grade and physical attributes?”

“The greatest strength of Demon Gods lies in their ability to use demonic techniques,” Perhaps she had already told Wang Wanrou the truth, so Yujing San no longer tried to hide it and simply told him everything directly, “In terms you humans can understand, it’s similar to your abilities.”

“But the way Demon Gods use demonic techniques is far beyond the crude application of abilities by you humans,” she glanced at Miss Wang, “I’ve heard that humans need to use some kind of algorithm when using abilities, and even perform calculations?”

“Yeah,” Cui Xiaoniang asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with that?”

“Ha,” Yujing San sneered, “When a giant bear strikes or a tiger bites, do they need to perform calculations? The so-called algorithms are just a result of your inability to understand the essence of abilities, so you have to abstract it into something comprehensible.”

“However, for Demon Gods, using demonic techniques is as natural as raising a hand or taking a step; it’s etched into their very souls. It’s like two people in hand-to-hand combat: one has reached a martial arts level where their movements are instinctive, while the other is still in a state where they must consciously command their arm to ‘throw a hook punch’ for it to happen. Is there any suspense left in such a fight?”

“Is it really that exaggerated?” Cheng Jinyang thought to himself, based on your description, demonic techniques seem like abilities that don’t require any calculations.

You see, the effectiveness of abilities largely depends on computational power, and human computational power is limited. This means that computational power is akin to an ability user’s energy bar. According to Miss Yujing, it’s as if Demon Gods are like wizards with unlimited energy bars…

That’s like cheating; how could they possibly be defeated?!

“Everyone be quiet!” Wang Wanrou suddenly said, “The Demon God is coming!”
