Ashen God

Chapter 841: Zhao Yalan: Wow You're Really Ruthless!


Zhang Yanhang is now a Fourth Tier Awakened, while Zhao Yalan on the opposite side is just a Second Tier Awakened. You could say, right now, he and Zhao Yalan are exactly a replica of how he was with the group leader back in the day, so naturally, since he has the upper hand as a high-level Awakened, he should handle things with some degree of control.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "So, what exactly do you want? Feel free to say it. If I can't solve it, I'll just pretend not to see it, don't worry."

After all, being an Awakener's data avatar, even though Zhao Yalan's foot hurt for a while, it quickly recovered. This was a feeling she was quite familiar with; she remembered it was the same when Zhang Yanhang flicked her forehead last time.

So, Zhao Yalan quickly picked up her phone to continue replying to Zhang Yanhang's messages. Although Zhang Yanhang poked her foot, it precisely showed that Zhang Yanhang was willing to communicate with her; otherwise, he would've pretended not to see it when she initially sent 'are you there?.'

Besides, there's always a bit of 'grinning and bearing it' when asking for favors, and it certainly requires paying a price. If just getting hit a bit can complete the task, that's actually quite lucky.

Zhao Yalan: "..."

Zhao Yalan: "Ridiculous!"

Zhao Yalan: "Couldn't you at least pretend a bit? Shouldn't a normal person be a bit more tactful, first make a pretense of refusing and then refuse firmly?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "You said it yourself, refuse firmly. Anyway, it's a refusal; it's better to refuse directly from the start so that no one's time is wasted."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "What do you really want? If you don't have anything, then I'm leaving, alright."

Zhao Yalan: "Actually, it's like this, didn't you say before that you could refer me to join some relevant department? I feel my power-up speed is too slow now. I probably do need the help of a relevant department to quickly enhance my power and get a rank promotion."

Zhao Yalan saw in the Awakener group chat today that the group members were frantically forwarding the news about the mysterious giant biological entity destroying Greenland in Northern Europe.

Their enthusiastic discussion suddenly made Zhao Yalan feel a crisis, fearing that someday some powerful monster would suddenly come to destroy Qin Island City, and then destroy her in the process.

So now, Zhao Yalan is very eager to enhance her power, but just relying on her current Douyin account, she feels a bit lacking, so she thought of what Zhang Yanhang told her a while ago about joining a relevant department to collect Power of Faith quickly and enhance her power through official resources.

But despite her talent ability being decent, in the end, she was just an ordinary Second Tier Awakened; even if she could join a relevant department, it would be hard to receive preferential treatment as the power of a Second Tier Awakened is still quite low, at least a Third Tier Awakened could more easily join a relevant department and enjoy better resources.

As they say, "Having someone in the inner circle makes things easier," so Zhao Yalan remembered Zhang Yanhang had acquaintances in the relevant department and thus wanted to ask him for help to see if she could get in through the back door and receive some extra care. Zhang Yanhang had previously agreed to this matter.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "So that's it?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Just take your ID and report to the relevant department tomorrow. Once you're there, look for a Fourth Tier Awakened named Zhou Muxi. I'm well acquainted with her; we chatted just this morning."

Zhao Yalan: "...Is it that simple?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "It's that simple."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Is this thing supposed to be difficult?"

Zhao Yalan, after all, is just a Second Tier Awakened. Although she may have recently become a Second Tier Peak Awakened, it makes no difference to Zhang Yanhang. He casually made a choice just now, using only a small portion of his Energy Value to directly get Zhao Yalan into the relevant department.

Zhao Yalan: "Okay then."

Zhao Yalan: "Thanks a lot."

Zhao Yalan: "Do I need to pay any price?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "No need, it's just a small thing anyway."

Zhao Yalan: "Really don't need anything?"

Honestly, Zhao Yalan would rather Zhang Yanhang ask for something she could handle, as personal favors are the hardest to repay.

But even so, considering she's just an ordinary Second Tier Awakened, personal favors aren't worth much, so she soon felt at ease.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "If you really feel uneasy and insist on doing something, then I hope you'll buy a few different sets of underwear and change them daily."

Even though he had seen the new black lace panties today, there's no guarantee that Zhao Yalan wouldn't switch back to the already somewhat tiresome ones tomorrow. Zhang Yanhang had long wanted her to change this habit, so now was a good time to bring it up.

Zhao Yalan: "Huh?"

Zhao Yalan: "What do you mean?"

Zhao Yalan: "Sexual harassment?"

But then, Zhao Yalan quickly realized something. While Zhang Yanhang seemingly extended a hand from the ceiling just now, it might have only been a hand she saw. Given that Zhang Yanhang can use the Invisibility Technique, perhaps he actually slipped his whole upper body over but used invisibility to hide everything else, deliberately showing just one hand.

If that's the case, wasn't she just seen completely? Zhao Yalan's cheeks, already flushed due to pain, instantly turned crimson.

If Zhang Yanhang knew Zhao Yalan's thoughts at the moment, he would simply tell her that she was overthinking it. If he wanted to see, there was no need for such a hassle; he could just use Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil to check openly.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "No real meaning, just a regular suggestion."

Zhao Yalan: "If you really insist on seeing, I could..."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Could what?"

Zhao Yalan: "I could... send you pictures..."

Zhao Yalan, suppressing her shyness, sent a message to Zhang Yanhang. She originally thought she'd only pay some material price this time, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the cost in this regard...

Even though Zhang Yanhang didn't say it explicitly, she fully grasped the hidden meaning in his words: if he didn't want to see, why ask her to change into new ones daily?

Zhao Yalan: "But you can't sneak peeks like this again!"

If Zhao Yalan had to enhance her powers by going to some greasy middle-aged men or old geezers, she'd surely be extremely resistant. Or rather, that's entirely out of the question.

But Zhang Yanhang is different after all; they are age-appropriate opposite genders, and since she doesn't have a boyfriend, there's naturally less resistance. Plus, Zhang Yanhang doesn't just have powerful abilities but also looks quite handsome (thanks to a very high Charm attribute).

Moreover, even if she could join the relevant department, she might still need Zhang Yanhang's help in the future, as she's entering through his connections, so it's inevitable that implications and ties might arise later on.

Therefore, even though she finds such things embarrassing, they're not unbearably so; they're still within an acceptable range, hmm, probably.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "???"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "How do you know? Are you spying on me? You're so creepy."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "And, what's with the photo? A photo of what? I don't need that kind of thing."

Zhao Yalan's words really puzzled Zhang Yanhang, he was completely confused about what Zhao Yalan was talking about, a photo? Did he mention a photo?

At the same time, Zhang Yanhang was also a bit surprised that Zhao Yalan actually knew he had been scanning her, how did she know? Did she recently acquire some relevant anti-perception skill?

Zhao Yalan: "You don't need it?"

Zhao Yalan: "Why don't you need it?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Should I need it?"

Zhao Yalan: "..."

"Ah————"

Zhao Yalan couldn't help but let out a cry like a prairie dog, who would have thought the clown was her all along?! Turns out Zhang Yanhang didn't want to see it at all, it was all just her wishful thinking?!

Zhao Yalan's face, which had just returned to normal, turned crimson again, but this time, it was completely different from before. An unprecedented sense of shame swept over her body, she wished she could find a hole and crawl into it right now. The embarrassment could almost have her toes, wrapped in skin-colored tights, dig a Mount Rushmore into the floor.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "If you really want me to accept it, well, I can."

Zhao Yalan: "There's no need to force it."

Zhao Yalan inexplicably felt as if she was now the one eager to send someone a photo. This feeling was quite subtle, obviously it's everyone's first time in love, so why did she have to be the humble one?

Zhao Yalan couldn't help but grit her teeth, clenching her fists tightly, as if her nails were going to draw blood from her palms. Well, it wasn't going to draw blood, it was quite painful after all, besides, she wasn't that angry.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "No, no forcing, come on, hurry up and send it over, I can't wait any longer."

Although he didn't know exactly what Zhao Yalan was going to send, Zhang Yanhang, who understood a bit about social norms, felt it was necessary to give her some face.

Zhao Yalan: "Huh? You want it today?"

Zhao Yalan: "In such a hurry?"

Zhao Yalan: "Can it be tomorrow?"

Even though it was Zhao Yalan herself who requested this, she wasn't that open-minded, after all. She wanted to wait a bit for a mood adjustment and send it the next day. After all, taking such photos is quite troublesome, the angle has to be right, but it turns out her persuasion created more trouble.

But at the same time, Zhao Yalan felt a bit secretly pleased. If Zhang Yanhang was in such a hurry for it, it clearly showed she had some charm and certainly held some weight in Zhang Yanhang's heart.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Tomorrow? That's fine too, anything's okay."

After all, Zhang Yanhang naturally agreed to anything to save Zhao Yalan's face.

Zhao Yalan: "Alright."

Zhao Yalan: "Then what time should I report to the relevant department tomorrow?"

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Whenever, just get there when they open. But tomorrow is Sunday, so the opening time in the morning may be later than usual. Just don't go too early."

Zhao Yalan: "This is so real."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "After all, it's a stable job, not having a full weekend off is considered good."

Zhao Yalan: "Now I actually wish I could have the weekend off."

Different identity, different perspective. When she was part of the general populace, she surely wanted offices to be open on weekends for convenience. But now that Zhao Yalan is about to be a member of the relevant department, she naturally hopes to have weekends off just like other departments.

Even though she was already thinking about slacking off before even starting work, Zhao Yalan did not feel ashamed at all. After all, the 'market trend' is out there, and everybody thinks like this.

Heavenly Destiny Master: "If this were an official review, saying something like that during the interview would've eliminated you. Don't you have any sense of serving the people? Adjust your attitude!"

Zhao Yalan: "Awareness? I'll cultivate it slowly once I get in."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "..."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "You're really something, aren't you? Things are about to get more interesting in the future."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you have any other issues that need resolving? Anything is fine. If you have, just say it, I'll help you solve them. But if you don't, I have other matters to attend to."

It was already 9 pm, but today's adventure hadn't been triggered yet. Zhang Yanhang was indeed getting a bit anxious since, in three hours, it would be time to start tomorrow's adventure.

Zhao Yalan: "Issues?"

Zhao Yalan: "Nothing else."

Zhao Yalan: "It's just this one thing."

Heavenly Destiny Master: "Alright then, goodbye."

Zhang Yanhang promptly ended the conversation, or rather, he generally ended them every time, as once issues were resolved, he wasn't much for small talk.

Mainly, because there wasn't much to talk about. Discuss trivial matters like ordinary people? Wouldn't it be better to spend that time on cultivation?

Before closing his phone, Zhang Yanhang checked the time, finding that it was already a quarter past nine, leaving just two hours and forty-five minutes until the day ended, or 165 minutes, which is not much but also not little. However, no one knows exactly when today's adventure would trigger.

"Is it because staying at home makes it hard to trigger an adventure? But yesterday I was also at home and an adventure was triggered. Oh, no, yesterday I think I tapped on an advertisement related to the Double Eleven promotion on my phone, which triggered the related adventure.

Should I try triggering an adventure with my phone today again?"

But Zhang Yanhang thought maybe not necessarily, he figured it might be better to wait a bit longer, after all, he was quite idle now. Perhaps it would automatically trigger once the time comes? Because this scenario is actually the most common.
