In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

Six days had passed since the death of the Biology Minister.

Fortress Eleventh Layer, residential area near the Central Circular Park.

It was a little after nine in the evening, fortress time, and most residents were resting.

Two Upper City Enforcer team members were knocking on doors, one by one, asking questions, constantly complaining about this sudden overtime.

"Psionics are disgusting, making us search for some Black Storm."

"Didn't the new Biology Minister come directly from the Psionic Capital? Of course, they're going to want to make a name for themselves."

"Putting that aside, the new Minister has a great figure."

"This household, let me see, the head of household is called Wang Zheng."

Knock, knock.

"Coming."

A young man's voice came from inside the door. The alloy door was quickly pulled open, and a young man wearing a light-colored sweater and loose sweatpants appeared before the Enforcer team members.

The Enforcer team members sized up the man's face. His features were quite defined, his short hair was neat, and his skin was unusually good. He gave off a clean and sunny vibe.

The two Enforcer team members had a clear division of labor. One sized up this 'Wang Zheng,' while the other looked inside the house.

Living alone in a fifteen-square-meter couple's room?

He must be someone with some connections to the Mid-City Security Team.

Therefore, the Upper City Enforcer team member's tone was a bit more polite: "Wang Zheng, is it? Look this way and scan... Hmm, twenty-four years old this year, state your genetic sequence number."

Wang Ji Xuan recited a string of numbers.

The Enforcer team member checked it and nodded slowly, then asked, "Do you live alone?"

"Yes," Wang Ji Xuan replied with a clear gaze.

"Do you know a person named Mu Liang?"

"Mu Liang? Never heard of him."

"Hmm," the Enforcer team member nodded. "This is a wanted criminal currently being pursued in the fortress, an E-level psionic, a murderous maniac who killed hundreds of people in the Lower City. We suspect he has fled to the Mid-City. Take a look at this."

A photo, the result of merging Lin Tao and Mu Liang's features, was handed to Wang Ji Xuan.

Wang Ji Xuan, who had slightly altered his facial details, stared at the photo carefully for a few moments, then gently shook his head: "I really don't recognize him."

"Alright, what do you do for work?"

"Moving goods in the Security Team's logistics group," Wang Ji Xuan shrugged. "I'm currently studying for the Preliminary Mechanic certification. I want to become a professional logistics support personnel serving the military in the future."

"Oh? Ambitious! Work hard, young man!"

The Enforcer team member patted Wang Ji Xuan's arm with a white-gloved hand, squeezed it casually, then waved with a smile.

"Sorry for the disturbance, go back in and get some rest, young man."

Wang Ji Xuan: 'Was I just harassed?'

He closed the alloy door with a smile, then curled his lips.

The Enforcer team member who had just touched Wang Ji Xuan's arm took out a device from his pocket and muttered, "Let's go to the next house. Searching house by house like this, when will we ever find him?"

The two walked to the intersection, turned the corner, and began knocking on other doors.

Wang Ji Xuan leaned against the door panel, pondering slightly.

Over the past few days, things had been evolving in both good and bad directions simultaneously.

The power struggle between the military and the Thirteenth Research Institute continued, and they were constantly increasing their stakes at Fortress 76.

As far as he knew, several major events related to him had already occurred.

First, Kong Nu was determined to have suffered a terrorist attack and was posthumously recognized as a meritorious researcher by the Thirteenth Research Institute headquarters.

Immediately afterward, Fortress 76 replaced several military commanders and yesterday newly transferred in two heavy firepower battalions, seemingly worried about psionics attacking the place.

The current fortress military commander, Zhou Zhengde, was familiar to the mother and son. He used to be a bodyguard for the D5 Comprehensive Theater Commander.

Subsequently, the Psionic Capital of the Thirteenth Research Institute headquarters dispatched a new Biology Minister, named Qin Qin, a female researcher under thirty, who was also a student brought out by Professor Zhuang.

In addition, Qin Qin brought twenty-one psionics dispatched by the Thirteenth Research Institute headquarters when she came to Fortress 76 to take office yesterday.

These psionics were all D-level or above, and it was uncertain whether there were any C-level or above.

According to what Wang Ji Xuan learned from Ling Tong, there was a huge gap between C-level and B-level psionics, while B-level and A-level psionics were relatively close in strength.

'This Researcher Qin Qin, having the Upper City Enforcer team search for Mu Liang as soon as she arrived, is probably trouble.'

'However, the newly transferred heavy firepower battalion on the military side should be able to deter these psionics.'

'I should still keep a low profile later, stay here for a few more days, and then find an opportunity to leave.'

Wang Ji Xuan stretched and casually changed himself to a Concealment Talisman.

One small matter also made Daoist Wang feel quite helpless.

Although he and Zhou Zhengde were now considered comrades on the same front and he had cured Zhou Zhengde's leg injury, he still could not obtain any resources related to Blade Beasts through official channels.

The Blade Beast blood that Wang Ji Xuan used to make the latest talismans was still bought secretly from the Lower City while wearing a nanite mask.

It was impossible to say it was exactly the same as before, it could only be said to be completely identical.

Lin Bo had obtained some Wanli Gold Gang recipes for soil, and Wei Na carefully checked and confirmed that it was mixed with Blade Beast flesh and blood.

This made Wang Ji Xuan have some thoughts about taking a step forward in the current human society.

Where could he find Blade Beast resources?

The front lines of the war zone.

How to get to the front lines of the war zone?

Becoming a soldier did not conform to Wang Ji Xuan's principles, he did not want to be at anyone's beck and call.

Previously, when helping Ling Tong with conditioning massage, Wang Ji Xuan asked her two questions, one was about the combat power of Blade Beasts, initially understanding the combat effectiveness and main classification of Blade Beasts.

The other question was what kind of technical jobs were needed on the front lines.

The profession of Mechanic came into Wang Ji Xuan's view.

In Ling Tong's description, Mechanics were indispensable talents on the front lines, mainly responsible for maintaining various types of mecha.

She had a sixteen-person Mechanic team responsible for the daily maintenance and upkeep of her mechanical arm and various equipment.

Wang Ji Xuan did not ask any further questions. After returning, he began to look for relevant information on Mechanics, and then…

Began his journey to get certified.

'If this world had methods of cultivation, I wonder if one would also need to take qualification certificates.'

Daoist Wang sighed and returned to his desk.

He had not been able to resist the other day and had released two-thirds of the spiritual power from those three crystal cores. His cultivation had taken a small step towards the Spirit Gathering Realm, leaving behind some spiritual power for emergencies.

— If he exhausted his own mana in a fight, he could use them to recover quickly.

He also made a batch of Demon Sealing Talismans, wrapping these crystal cores one by one, and then wrapping a layer of Exploding Talismans on the outside. If they were inspected, he would detonate them directly, making it impossible to trace.

Blade Beasts really were treasures from head to toe.

Apart from being a bit fierce and a bit ugly, its bones, flesh and blood, crystal cores, and even residual souls could shine and radiate heat in Daoist Wang's hands.

— Righteous cultivators were always preparing to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. He was definitely looking at relevant soul refining evil arts texts in the Scripture Pavilion in order to know himself and his enemy, definitely not out of curiosity, and he had not done any experiments.

He crossed his legs, opened the 《Mechanics: Professional One》 in front of him, and began to study hard and become self-taught.

And he never forgot to absorb spiritual energy.

He wanted to strive to obtain the certificate of Preliminary Mechanic smoothly while entering the Spirit Gathering Realm!

After an unknown period of time, his spiritual sense flickered slightly.

Daoist Wang, who was about to recite the Heart-Clearing Mantra to increase his focus on reading, subconsciously turned his head to look outside the door.

Familiar scent, unfamiliar spices.

Ling Tong?

Why was she here again?

Hadn't it been agreed that the three people who knew his new identity would not contact him recently?

… …

"Is it convenient for me to come in?"

Ling Tong said softly.

Her outfit today was still simple and comfortable, and she was particularly fond of tight jeans.

Wang Ji Xuan stepped aside from the doorway, quickly beckoning, and subconsciously glanced outside.

The sense of sneaking around was very strong overall.

Ling Tong looked at the simple layout of the room, saw the books and notebooks on the desk, and glanced slightly at the contents on them.

"Is something the matter?"

Wang Ji Xuan asked with a frown.

Ling Tong said softly: "Two things, one is to come and remind you that there is an energy reaction exceeding C-level among the new psionics, but you don't need to worry about this, the military has corresponding actions. The other is to ask you to do it like last time."

Wang Ji Xuan asked: "Massage?"

"Yeah," Ling Tong looked aside.

The newest and most complete novel is at 6 9 book bar first!

She was a little embarrassed.

"It really is much more relaxed, I've been sleeping very well these past few days, my reactions are much faster, and the number of dizzy spells has decreased."

"Sit."

Daoist Wang was very happy and pulled out the chair.

Ling Tong said: "I will pay you a certain amount of remuneration."

How about a box of low-level Blade Beast crystal cores?

Wang Ji Xuan just smiled and didn't ask much about this.

Ling Tong sat upright in the chair. He went to the closet on the side, found a brand new pair of tactical gloves, then turned on the holographic music player and walked back behind Ling Tong.

T.E.R's gentle voice accompanied by notes surrounded the room.

"Relax, just think of it as sitting and sleeping for a while."

"Okay," Ling Tong agreed, closing her eyes and leaning back in the chair.

Wang Ji Xuan gently pressed on the left and right sides of her neck, slowly pushing towards her shoulders, a faint wisp of aura merged into Ling Tong's shoulders.

They didn't communicate much, one massaging, one resting.

Soon, Ling Tong's head lowered, there was no snoring, she had already fallen into a shallow sleep.

Wang Ji Xuan didn't stop, carefully using his fingers to press on the acupoints on her head, continuing to soothe her.

He knew the root cause of Ling Tong's dizziness.

It was a small patch of stagnant Qi in Ling Tong's brain. That Qi was formless and intangible, likely a remnant of the mental shock released by the General-level Blade Beast upon its death.

Wang Jixuan's current strength was insufficient to directly eliminate this imprint, but he could gradually dissipate it, helping her alleviate headaches and dizziness.

What's her story?

Was her arm lost in battle?

Her mechanical arm was actually connected to her spine, which was also mechanized, along with some of her skeletal structure.

Our bodies and hair are received from our parents. Did her parents agree to her modifying herself?

It seems this world doesn't emphasize that.

His master had also directly taken him away at the age of three to cultivate immortality, leaving some money for his family as compensation.

Wang Jixuan's movements became gentler, and a peculiar feeling arose in his heart.

A completely new feeling, one he had never experienced before.

… …

Daoist Wang discovered… …

It seemed he was being relied upon by the combat girl.

After Ling Tong's second massage experience, she appeared outside his door again three days later.

It couldn't be said that she was relying on him, since Major Ling Tong always brought him the previous massage's payment each time she came.

However, Ling Tong's frequency of visits was indeed increasing.

At first, it was every two or three days, then every other day, and then every day.

Wang Jixuan had to spend half an hour each day, unable to cultivate or read, specifically to give her massages to alleviate her discomfort.

What Daoist Wang couldn't stand the most was that Ling Tong would leave immediately after the massage at first, but later she started taking a nap here;

In just half a month, after she discovered that Wang Jixuan hardly used the bed, she started taking her afternoon naps here!

Fortunately, Daoist Wang also received some corresponding rewards.

A music player with better sound quality, a sofa chair that could be reclined and lounged on, a pair of exquisite care gloves… …

Wait, were these rewards really for him?

Later, Ling Tong seemed to not know what rewards to give, so she brought her collection—two large pieces of high-level Blade Beast exoskeleton.

Wang Jixuan smiled so brightly it was like a spring day.

Just these two pieces of exoskeleton alone made his time and mana expenditure worthwhile!

However, among the gifts Ling Tong brought, the most outrageous one Wang Jixuan felt was today's.

"This is your admission ticket," Ling Tong patiently instructed, "I helped you register in advance. The exam is tomorrow at noon, at this address on the seventh floor, for the Elementary Mechanic exam. Also… …"

Daoist Wang was a little dazed: "What?"

"This is the exam's questions and answers. Remember to deliberately get one question wrong; a perfect score will require a retake."

"This… …"

"If you're willing."

Ling Tong carried her mechanical arm and calmly explained:

"I am temporarily stationed in Area C of the 76th Fortress's outer expansion zone. I can recruit you into my logistics team. I know your skills are special and you have your invaluable massage techniques, so I will try my best to give you some material compensation. When I return to the front lines, I will recommend you for a relaxed position in the upper city of Fortress 76… … I know this might be a bit difficult, since the conditions in the outer expansion zone are a bit harsh, and there is also the risk of being attacked by Blade Beasts, but I will do my best to protect you… …"

"There's also the risk of being attacked by Blade Beasts?"

Wang Jixuan asked softly.

Ling Tong nodded gently, a hint of disappointment in her bright eyes, but her expression remained as calm as usual.

She said: "Yes."

"Then I'll consider it."

Wang Jixuan turned around.

He couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth, trying to adjust his facial expression so he wouldn't appear too eager to agree later.

He was a cultivator with a bunch of unique skills. If others wanted him to do things, they naturally had to ask him.

A faint look of disappointment appeared on Ling Tong's pretty face: "Forget I said that… …"

"I'm willing. There's no other way. They're still investigating the whereabouts of the Black Storm," Wang Jixuan said calmly, "I'll go out and hide for a while."

"Then, I'll come pick you up tomorrow afternoon. The certificate can be issued on the spot after the exam."

"No problem."

"Okay."

Ling Tong nodded calmly and quickly walked towards the door.

Clang!

She looked at the doorknob she had pulled off in her hand and pursed her lips.

Wang Jixuan: "It's okay, I'll report it for repairs… …"

"Sorry for breaking it. Then, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, hey!"

Before Wang Jixuan could speak, Ling Tong had already forcefully pulled open the alloy door, picked up the door, turned around, placed it back in the door frame, lowered her head, and quickly left.

Daoist Wang's forehead was covered in black lines.

It was a good thing she didn't really run off with the door, leaving it for him.

How did her state of mind fluctuate like this?

Just, very unprofessional.
