Chapter 95

Under Guo Xingxing's threats and inducements, Gu Shaodong confessed to all the issues. From peeking at his sister-in-law bathing when he was a child, to secretly doing business outside behind his father's back, keeping a mistress, embezzling funds, and enriching himself...

However, among the scattered pieces of evidence, only two were particularly explosive—

One was that this guy actually had an affair with his father's newly married ninth concubine, committing incest;

The second was that his father had a little black book, specifically recording financial transactions with the Baiyue Club, company directors, officials at all levels, police, and gang leaders, as a safeguard in critical moments.

This little black book was clearly very useful. Gu Shaodong knew about it, paid attention to it, and managed to quietly obtain... a copy. Even his father didn't know about it, and it was always kept with him, locked in the car's safe.

Dugu Fu listened and shook his head repeatedly. Gu Shaodong was an NPC, but his father, Gu Liancheng, was a well-known historical figure and couldn't be an NPC. He must be played by a senior member of the Shadow Clan.

These senior members are custom-made, with their appearance and personality processed at the genetic level to maximize the authenticity of the historical figure. They often play a character from birth to death, like a special actor in real life.

Of course, some players envy this life of luxury and ease, and apply to play such roles themselves.

But no matter what, their characters are not real; their physical bodies are in the real world, and their life trajectories are pre-set...

Imagine such a person, would he need to keep a little black book, need to hold others' handles? This little black book was clearly prepared for his family and descendants, as a legacy in the game world. But it was all exposed by the ungrateful son Gu Shaodong...

What a pain in the neck, this term is indeed correct, whether in the real world or the game world, or both, it remains unchanged.

"Does this count as passing?" According to the confession, they found the hidden safe, opened the password lock, and took out the little black book. Guo Xingxing swayed as she said.

"Yes, you passed." Dugu Fu nodded. Suddenly sensing something odd, he turned his head: "Sister Wei, what's wrong?"

Beside him, the boss lady's delicate body trembled, tears streaming down her face. Hearing Dugu Fu's question, she said in a slightly changed voice: "No, no, nothing." She turned to wipe her tears, but couldn't stop them.

Dugu Fu was initially puzzled, but then suddenly understood: "Sister Wei, do you think we're going to kick you out?"

The boss lady looked up, eyes red and pitiful: "No, no, not?"

Dugu Fu laughed: "This is just a test, to let you know your strengths and weaknesses, to deepen your understanding, and to better coordinate in future actions."

"Really, really?" The boss lady asked, disbelieving.

"Of course it's real. Sister Wei, think about it, did I ever say that if you fail the test, you'll be kicked out? Besides, the train is about to arrive at Shanghai, even if..."

Before he could finish, the boss lady, with her graceful and fragrant body, suddenly threw herself into his arms, interrupting him: "Great! Great! Great!..." She exclaimed joyfully, repeating it over and over.

"Uh, that..." Seeing the boss lady so concerned, Dugu Fu was naturally very happy, but... he felt a bit awkward and slightly pushed his buttocks back.

After two days of intense training, he finally confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with his body!

Killing Hong Qingsong and absorbing the essence of the Celestial Being, the certain desires that had been stirring in his heart had somewhat subsided, but as he continued to train, his cultivation deepened, and those desires rekindled, even more intensely than before!

He searched online for his symptoms and finally understood the reason.

Was it a punishment from the Primordial, or a gift? Dugu Fu couldn't judge, perhaps the Primordial was also conflicted when he did this—because the body given to Dugu Fu was not an ordinary body, but a Pure Yang Body!

What is a Pure Yang Body?

It allows one to learn martial arts faster, absorb medicinal power more effectively, and advance in cultivation more rapidly. The improvement in combat ability can be described in four words—vigorous and progressive.

Just look at how he reached the 8th level of Mingjing in just a few days. This is certainly related to his control over his body and his extraordinary perseverance, but the biggest contributor is the Pure Yang Body.

Some might wonder, from the 5th to the 7th level of Mingjing, didn't the boss lady and Guo Xingxing also go from knowing nothing to the 2nd or 3rd level of Mingjing? It's about the same!

This is a big mistake!

The difficulty of upgrading from low levels to high levels is fundamentally different, as any gamer knows, they cannot be compared horizontally;

When comparing the same levels, Dugu Fu initially took a day or two to reach the 2nd or 3rd level of Mingjing, but... what were his conditions then, and what are the conditions of the two women now? Could the snake gallbladder and some low-level martial arts rice he used back then be compared to the thousand-year-old ginseng and top-grade martial arts rice they have now? They are not in the same league!

In this comparison, the difference between a Pure Yang Body and an ordinary person's potential is almost equivalent to the difference between thousand-year-old ginseng + top-grade martial arts rice and snake gallbladder + low-level martial arts rice...

Given the power of the Pure Yang Body, why is it considered a punishment from the Primordial?

It's simple, because of its side effects.

Everything in this world has its pros and cons, blessings and curses coexist. The Pure Yang Body allows one to advance rapidly in cultivation, making it easy to become a prodigy, but it also makes one's desires intense, personality fiery, and hard to remain calm in situations, increasing the risk of mental breakdown as one's cultivation deepens...

Perhaps when the Primordial did this, he thought that Dugu Fu was too cold and rational, and giving him such a body would balance him out, making him a normal person.

What he didn't expect was that this wasn't a neutralization reaction of acid and base, but... putting oil and fire in the same stove, they coexist when separated, but once they meet, it's like an old house catching fire, with more oil poured on, burning uncontrollably.

Getting back to the topic.

After Dugu Fu's slightly awkward persuasion, the boss lady gradually calmed down and smiled through her tears.

However, seeing the boss lady's intense emotional outburst, Guo Xingxing felt a bit unbalanced and glared at Dugu Fu and Li Shier: "You say this is a test to deepen understanding and serve as a reference for the future. We've finished our test, what about you two?"

Is this... a challenge to us? Li Shier and Dugu Fu looked at each other and laughed: "Alright, we'll take the test for you to see!"
