Gamers Are Fierce

The screen cuts off, Li Ang and Chaichai exchange a glance, both having a trace of heaviness deep within their eyes.

For a long time, when faced with extremely serious abnormal events, local authorities usually try to cover it up first,

If they can manage to cover it up and block the news, that would naturally be best,

as it can avoid widespread panic and stabilize social order.

Only when abnormal events cannot be concealed, or when covering them up would result in more severe consequences, do the authorities officially issue announcements.

The Global Occult Coalition acknowledged that another world is attempting to invade Earth,

which, for Li Ang who only wants a peaceful life, is certainly not good news.

Li Ang rubs his brows and sighs, "There's going to be a war... such a hassle..."

"Yeah."

Chaichai, equally serious, says in a deep voice, "With the war, getting a PS5 will be even harder..."

"Why are you always thinking about your PS5?"

Li Ang's eye twitches, and he taps Chaichai's forehead lightly with his hand, "Play play play, all you know is playing all day,

did you practice that book 'Jidou Yanchi of Nine Underworld' recently?"

"Ouch, why are you hitting me?"

Chaichai covers his forehead with an aggrieved expression and says, "Who says I'm not practicing? When you're not home, I train hard,

training the muscles and skin outside, and cultivating the inner breath inside,

as long as I don't die from practice, I'll practice to the death."

"Really?"

Li Ang squints his eyes, "Double Blade Turkey?"

A beautiful young girl with waist-length black hair immediately emerges from the study next door, looking no older than middle school age, dressed plainly, with six blue-black spiny tentacles extending from her back,

with each tentacle holding cleaning supplies such as a rag, mop, vacuum cleaner.

She is the brain worm Double Blade Turkey, used by Chaichai as a tool — the human girl's appearance, both Chaichai's quirky taste and part of the missionary plan of flesh and the Lord of the Swamp.

According to Chaichai, now that Li Ang is already a Demigod, he is restricted by the necessity to perfectly control the insect nest, hence he is unable to release the limit on the number of brain worms,

resulting in insufficient number of followers, low recovery rate of Divine Power,

further restraining the scale of brain worms.

To break the vicious cycle, perhaps the follower group beyond brain worms could be expanded,

allowing mundane races to also believe in the flesh and Swamp God — anyway, Li Ang doesn't need to monitor these people closely, just like harvesting leeks, collecting the Power of Faith,

the burden on Sanity Value can naturally be greatly reduced.

Hence, there is reason for the insect nest to set up the "Missionary" sequence, tirelessly spreading the word, letting the glory of the Lord of Flesh and Swamp encompass the universe.

This special sequence "Missionary" must have enough martial power (be able to subdue the defiant during the mission and protect oneself),

and also possess a certain degree of affinity (transform into the mainstream species of local intelligent civilization),

able to use special methods if necessary (such as brain control hypnosis, mass brainwave interference, etc.).

As one of the most loyal brain worms,

Double Blade Turkey is honored to become the first missionary brain worm, possessing a human appearance (looking like a normal middle school girl, but in reality can crush an elephant with bare hands).

Though for now, she, or rather she mostly serves as a maid in Li Ang's house, responsible for cleaning rooms, washing clothes, cooking meals, serving tea to the Lady Saint's father,

and taking over the mouse to dominate when the Lady Saint falls behind in games,

but over time, she is bound to truly spread the teachings of flesh and the Swamp God to every corner of the world.

"Come here, "

Li Ang beckons her closer and points at Chaichai, "Has the Lady Saint been practicing recently?"

Chaichai feels a hint of ominousness, staring at Double Blade Turkey, eyelashes flickering rapidly, conveying signals with his eyes.

Double Blade Turkey nods, "Lady Saint has been very diligent recently, she skipped lunch several days in a row to play games; when advised by her subordinates, Lady Saint says it's practicing 'Chinese fasting.'"

"??? "

Li Ang stretches his neck and tilts his head, glaring at Chaichai, "Is slang gonna cost you?"

"Aiya,"

Chaichai angrily glances at Double Blade Turkey, awkwardly rubbing his hands, "Isn't it just balancing work with rest and relaxation?

Moreover, you know,

that book 'Jidou Yanchi of Nine Underworld' is super advanced, really hard to learn..."

The so-called 'Jidou Yanchi of Nine Underworld', is a cultivation scripture Li Ang purchased at a hefty price for Chaichai before entering the portal battle.

It is rumored to be written by a great Otherworldly ghost cultivator, divided into upper, middle, and lower layers, each layer subdivided into three stages, altogether nine stages,

each stage can grant a Spiritual Body new abilities.

According to the book, when trained to the ninth stage,

one can attain purity of thought, enter the netherworld, transcend in the dark, the godly form is ambiguous, transcend reincarnation, traverse the void, neither generate nor perish...

"No matter how hard it is, you have to learn."

Li Ang chops Chaichai's head with his hand again, "What stage are you at now?"

"Third stage."

Chaichai covers his head, honestly answering, "This scripture is specially designed for Spiritual Bodies.

The introduction phase consolidates ghost soul bodies, allowing yin energy to circulate within and not just dissipate after several months due to lack of yin energy.

This phase I already mastered.

The first stage is daytime roaming. Unafraid of sunlight during the day, although a bit uncomfortable under noon sun, not enough to dissipate the soul.

This I also know.

The second stage is manifesting and moving objects, able to reveal form, be directly seen by mortals, and move objects, manipulate equipment.

The third stage, which I'm practicing now,

is body-attachment illusions,

able to attach to animals' bodies, or even martial artists with strong blood energy, control their bodies,

also able to create various illusions indistinguishable from reality..."

Li Ang nods, "Quite good.

This stage is basically the level of fierce ghosts in most horror movies, right?

Did you encounter any bottleneck?"

"Yes."

Chaichai nods, "This 'Jidou Yanchi of Nine Underworld' designed for ghost cultivators is somewhat similar to your psychic abilities,

more focused on insight and realization,

unlike some techniques where as long as energy level and skill proficiency increase.

The third stage's body-attachment illusions require frequent experiments,

controlling blood-energetic creatures, creating illusions to intimidate them,

absorbing the fear emotion generated in their despair,

thus understanding the realm of yin overgrowth and yang depletion, yin depletion and yang growth,

to breakthrough the barriers and advance to the next level."

Chaichai is somewhat troubled, scratching his hair, "Problem is, intelligent blood-energetic creatures are hard to find.

Each brain worm has spiritual energy protection and know I'm the Lady Saint, they simply won't feel fear toward me.

And your blood energy is too strong, there's no effect attaching to you...

"Hmm..."

Li Ang furrows his brow, "So, we can only go outside to find some 'volunteers'? "
