After receiving Wen Yingying’s "gratitude," Lin Yuan lay on the bed and lit a cigarette.
In this era of supernatural invasion, it didn’t matter if one was weak or strong.
Actually, everyone lived under extre oppression.
Even though Lin Yuan’s skills were already so formidable, he couldn’t claim to be absolutely invincible.
Perhaps, tomorrow a powerful evil spirit might appear and kill them all.
Oppression needs to be vented.
Accepting Wen Yingying’s "gratitude" was a good way for Lin Yuan to vent.
For Wen Yingying, "thanking" Lin Yuan was also a form of release.
After all, this kind of "gratitude" brought pleasure that was mutual.
"The key to enhancing tattoo abilities lies in Deceitful Qi. The more Deceitful Qi the tattoo absorbs, the stronger the abilities it grants."
"Although the tattoo can autonomously absorb Deceitful Qi from the world, the speed is extrely slow."
"To quickly enhance strength, one must hunt deceitful objects and evil spirits."
"Currently, your tattoo can only manifest as a Bajiao Fan; as it absorbs more Deceitful Qi, eventually the whole figure of Princess Iron Fan will manifest," Lin Yuan explained leisurely while smoking, imparting his knowledge about tattoos to Wen Yingying.
As a novice Life Pattern Master who had just awakened, Wen Yingying, with Lin Yuan’s insightful guidance, was able to avoid many detours.
Listening to Lin Yuan, Wen Yingying nodded and said, "I will definitely try hard, striving not to hold you back."
Wen Yingying was not rely a pretty face; apart from being obedient, she was also ambitious.
"Starting tonight, you will join in hunting deceitful objects and evil spirits!"
"We need to seize the ti; there’s not much left for us!" Lin Yuan said solemnly.
Based on his experiences before rebirth, the Supernatural Invasion 1.0 version was the best version for developnt.
As ti went on, transitioning from the Supernatural Invasion 1.0 version to 2.0, life for Life Pattern Masters beca tougher.
The 1.0 version had many deceitful objects and evil spirits, but their overall strength was not high.
In this version, as long as you worked hard, you could rapidly increase your strength.
However, by the ti of the 2.0 version of the Supernatural Invasion,
there would be many powerful deceitful objects and evil spirits.
In that stage, humanity would basically be confined to various sanctuaries.
Sanctuaries would have a large number of Life Pattern Masters to ensure safety.
However, outside the sanctuaries, everything would beco the territory of the supernatural.
Even Life Pattern Masters, once they left the sanctuaries, faced high mortality rates.
Enhancing strength, one must quickly enhance their own strength.
Lin Yuan felt that at least before the Supernatural Invasion 2.0 version arrived, he needed to awaken one of the Black and White Impermanence Tattoos.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was also considering a construction-related issue.
Should he also build a small sanctuary?
Now, with Bai Ling’Er and Wen Yingying around, building a small sanctuary was the best option.
This simple villa sufficed for the Supernatural Invasion 1.0 version.
However, by the 2.0 version, it might not suffice.
Lin Yuan wanted to establish a small sanctuary but didn’t want to support freeloaders.
If he built a small sanctuary, he would definitely have to recruit a large number of workers.
Recruiting a large number of workers ant Lin Yuan would have to protect them, acting as their caretaker.
In such a scenario, it’s hard to develop and enhance one’s strength quickly.
After much contemplation, Lin Yuan decided to temporarily shelve the idea of building a sanctuary.
Obviously, compared to building a sanctuary, enhancing his own strength was more important.
...
...
Noon.
Every night, Lin Yuan went out to hunt the supernatural, so he had to rest during the day.
By noon, Lin Yuan awoke to a cacophony of sounds.
Engine sounds from vehicles and so honking.
He went to the living room and looked outside.
Several army-green jeeps drove into the villa area and picked up the remaining few households.
"It’s the officials!"
"Did the officials take them all away?" Wen Yingying remarked, watching the away-bound jeeps outside.
There weren’t many people living in this villa area, precisely because it was sparsely populated, so it hadn’t experienced any particularly severe supernatural events.
It seed that, except for Bai Ling’Er, whom Lin Yuan t initially, no other deceitful objects or evil spirits had visited here.
Wushan Kunwu, the most upscale villa district in all of Peng City.
Those who could reside here were either wealthy or noble.
Of course, excluding Lin Yuan, who had gotten in with a zero-cost purchase post-supernatural invasion.
Undoubtedly, the officials were taking them to a sanctuary.
Anyone residing here would certainly be eligible for sanctuary residence.
Of course, officials picked up people based on a list.
Lin Yuan and his group were simply ignored.
Even if the officials had co to fetch him into a sanctuary, he wouldn’t have gone.
In his past life, Lin Yuan had toiled arduously to secure a spot in a sanctuary.
Unfortunately, as an ordinary person without an awakened tattoo ability, he was rely at the bottom tier within the sanctuary.
Life there, one could say, was worse than a dog’s.
Sanctuary life was far less leisurely than his current state.
"Forget about them!"
"It’s actually better they all left, we might have a chance in the future to turn this villa area into a sanctuary of our own," Lin Yuan told Wen Yingying.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan realized he hadn’t seen Bai Ling’Er!
"Where is Sister Ling’Er?" Lin Yuan asked Wen Yingying.
Wen Yingying pointed to Bai Ling’Er’s first-floor room and said, "I think she’s practicing."
Lin Yuan opened the door to see Bai Ling’Er sitting cross-legged on the bed, still figuring out how to convert the Power of Rules into Divine Abilities.
"Hungry!"
"Looks like we’ll have to settle for instant noodles!" Lin Yuan said helplessly.
Originally, he wanted Bai Ling’Er, the little cook, to make a al, but since she was practicing, he didn’t disturb her.
During these few days of coexistence, Bai Ling’Er had earned Lin Yuan’s approval.
Therefore, Lin Yuan no longer picked on her as before.
"Brother Lin, you’re hungry!"
"I can cook too; I’ll cook!" Wen Yingying added, "although maybe not as well as Sister Ling’Er."
The taste didn’t matter much; ho-cooked als would suffice.
Bai Ling’Er’s culinary skills were entirely due to the Power of Rules.
The Power of Rules made Bai Ling’Er instantly possess the culinary skills of a five-star chef.
"Go ahead!"
"It’s better than eating instant noodles," Lin Yuan said to Wen Yingying.
Wen Yingying went to the kitchen to cook, while Lin Yuan took out his phone to check so forum news.
After dark, he planned to take Wen Yingying out to hunt deceitful objects and evil spirits.
Checking online first, to pinpoint targets for tonight’s hunt,
It’s always better to locate a hunting target in advance than to wander around at night, hoping to get lucky.
