Chapter 19: Something’s Not Right With You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Fangyi City, Wangchao Enterprise.

The company’s headquarters was located on the top floor of a 70-story skyscraper.

The entire floor belonged to Wang Tiancheng.

Although Wang Tiancheng was not a martial artist, he was still a legendary figure.

He had grown from a small vendor in the past to the person in charge of Wangchao Enterprise now, holding more than 90% of the shares. Wangchao Enterprise could be said to be his personal dynasty.

This morning, he ordered a few secretaries to push a full cart into the company.

He said to the secretary beside him, “Get everyone to gather in the meeting room. I want to see everyone there within half an hour.”

As he said that, he pushed the cart into the meeting room.

Fifteen minutes later, the meeting room was already full with employees.

The more than 300 employees looked at their boss curiously, not understanding why a meeting was suddenly held during office hours.

Didn’t their boss hate meetings the most? He even said that if the meeting room was used more than three times in a year, the person who presided over the meeting would be fined.

It was also because of this reason that he was well-liked by his employees.

Wang Tiancheng cleared his throat a few times and said, “Alright. New Year’s is right around the corner, so I’m going to tell you about the bonus in advance today.”

The secretary next to him whispered, “CEO Wang, it’s only July now.”

Hearing this, Wang Tiancheng immediately changed his words, “We’re giving out a half-year bonus first. Don’t worry, it won’t affect your year-end bonuses. By the time of the year-end bonus, the bonus will be as much as it should be. But in the future, our company will set up a new half-year bonus.”

Immediately, there was an uproar.

“Long live CEO Wang!”

“Half-year bonus… I’ve only heard of the year-end bonus, but I’ve never heard of the half-year bonus.”

“Silly, isn’t it good to just get a bonus? If you’re not willing, I’ll accept it for you.”

The employees below were all beaming with joy.

“Hahahaha, the lot of you are thinking too much. This isn’t a monetary bonus, it’s a prize!” Wang Tiancheng laughed and said, “Come, give out the prizes!”

The secretaries pushed the carts with strange expressions and ordered the employees to line up to receive the prizes one by one.

In a short while, all the things in the carts had been distributed.

A second cart was pushed in again.

It was also full.

Three hours later.

The hundreds of employees held the thing and the accompanying card in their hands in a daze.

The item was unfamiliar.

However, it was exquisitely made and one could tell that a lot of effort had been spent to make them. There was even a card that came with it, full of introductions of the item.

…

“Excalibur Morgan? The Sword of the King of Great Britain, Saber. It’s made of faith that crystallized in the core of the planet and is one of the ultimate divine weapons in Fate?” An employee raised his head in confusion. He felt that his perfect score in history back in school might have been a fluke.

He understood the words separately, but why didn’t he understand them when they were put together?

What country is Great Britain?

Why hadn’t he heard of it before?

Who the hell was Saber? From the name, he sounds like someone from Baoxue Empire… Could this be the history of the Blue Planet before it ascended to the Extraordinary Universe and was in the Ordinary Universe?

“Top ten warriors? Xuanwu True Technique? Is this a joke? This is clearly from a random novel, though it does sound quite mystical?”

“Gundam on Earth? What an exquisite robot. It looks pretty good, and I suddenly feel my blood boil.”

“On the day you were born, the forests of Lordaeron were calling your name. Frost Mourn? This sword is pretty good though its name is quite strange… I wonder if there’s one called Fire Joy.”

… … …

Wang Tiancheng patted the microphone and introduced, “Each prize is attached with a detailed introduction. Remember to memorize it after you go home. I’ll do random checks. If anyone doesn’t remember it when I check, the year-end bonus will be deducted by one-third!”

“What?”

The crowd was instantly filled with sorrow.

Someone asked, “Then, if we do memorize it, can the year-end bonus be increased by one-third?”

Wang Tiancheng sneered, “It’s common sense to remember the boss’s words, right? Since when did the most basic work need to be rewarded? Memorize it obediently… Don’t worry, if you memorize it, the year-end bonus can be increased…”

He did some quick calculations in his heart. He reduced the numbers by half and reduced it by another half before he opened his mouth, “I’ll increase the year-end bonus by 10% for anyone who memorizes it well!”

Although it was only 10%, it was basically an extra month’s income.

The employees below immediately wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves.

Wang Tiancheng did not feel pain in having to spend so much money… Either way, all the money would be handed over to Xiao Jun sooner or later.

Moreover, although those things looked quite childish at first glance, the annotations were quite interesting. It was not a problem to read them as a story.

Although he did not understand what Xiao Jun was trying to do by asking him to distribute these things, through the years, it was rare for him to even ask him for a favor. Naturally, he had to do his best to help him complete it.

“Next, you must ensure that all of the junior staff gets one, understand?” He turned around and instructed his secretary.

Someone would do the rest for him.

Due to the time limitation, Xu Lingjun did not give Wang Tiancheng too many blueprints. They were mostly on technology, magic, spells, and even martial arts.

On one hand, his time was limited and he did not have time to prepare too much.

On the other hand, if he prepared too many things, their popularity would inevitably be scattered. After all, he was not sure if he could succeed. It could only be said that this was just a trial.

If it worked, he might consider making anime or television shows in the future, which would make their popularity even higher.

After handing over everything that was needed to Father Wang, Xu Lingjun went out to do good deeds.

In just a few days, his strength had advanced by two stages, and this was all thanks to his source value…

He knew very well where his foundation lay.

There was no harm in having more source value.

During this period, he had been doing good deeds every day. As such, he had also developed a large number of people who could contribute source value points to him constantly. He no longer had to go around randomly to try his luck like before.

Even without encountering life or death crises in a day, it was not a big problem for him to increase his source value by 200 points.

Xu Lingjun could not help but sigh in amazement. This True Origin of this world had quite some time on its hands. It was only focused on him, urging him to do good deeds for it.

In the blink of an eye, two days had already passed.

In these two days, another major event had happened.

Wang Jian had died.

He was one of the sixteen students who had participated in the sect assessment back then.

Just like Wei Hua from before, he was in stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier. He was quite powerful and was also ranked quite high in the entire Qingyang High School.

He had died at home.

He had died in the same gruesome state, and perhaps under even more pain. Perhaps it was because the demonic beast was more prepared this time than it was when it killed Wei Hua, so he had only struggled for an extremely short time. However, this brought him more pain and torture.

The worst-case scenario had happened.

After the demonic beast had killed Wei Hua, it didn’t stay in the school. Instead, it left and was quietly hiding in Qingzhou City. Things were troublesome.

If Wei Hua’s death at the beginning could be considered a coincidence, with Wang Jian’s death as well…

“In short, Lingjun, don’t go to places with few people these few days, understand?” Zhou Qing specially came to Xu Lingjun’s door to warn him. His expression was solemn, and fatigue showed in the depths of his eyes.

These few days, he hadn’t slept or rested. He had been searching for the whereabouts of the demonic beast. Unfortunately, hiding was much easier than finding it.

He said seriously, “We think there are two possibilities. First, the demonic beast is hunting the students of Qingyang High School who had entered the outer region. There is another possibility that is lower, but not necessarily impossible. That is that these demonic beasts are hunting stage 9 Body-tempering martial artists… If it is the first possibility, Lingjun, you will be fine, but if it is the second one…”

He sighed and said, “You’ve just broken through to stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier, so you may be a target of that demonic beast.”

“What, you… you’ve broken through to stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier?” Next to Zhou Qing, Ji Roufeng couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. She looked at Xu Lingjun with surprise and disappointment.

Xu Lingjun nodded seriously. He looked at Ji Roufng and Li Lei with surprise and asked, “Oh right, what are you guys doing here?”

Ji Ruofeng was stunned and stuttered, at a loss for words.

Li Lei was still sharp as ever, so he quickly explained, “Teacher Zhou was worried about your safety, so he specially came to look for you to remind you not to run around. Senior Sister Ji was worried about Teacher Zhou’s safety, so she came to protect Teacher Zhou.”

Xu Lingjun, “… …”

Ji Roufeng nodded in agreement.

She stared at Xu Lingjun in a daze and said softly, “I still remember when I first came here more than ten days ago. When you bumped into me then, your profile had said that you were only at stage 7 of the Body-tempering Tier. I didn’t expect you to reach stage 9 so quickly. I’ve never seen this kind of breakthrough speed before in the sect. It’s really amazing.”

Xu Lingjun, “…”

He didn’t know why, but even though what she said was the truth, he still felt strange when he heard it from her mouth.

Something wasn’t right with this woman..
