Chapter 145: Upgrade Points Exceed Ten Thousand! Let's Go Wild, My Darlings!

Afterwards, Lin Yi headed toward the Ding-rank area.

Right at this moment, the upgrade points displayed on Lin Yi's badge began to flicker continuously.

Before Lin Yi had even walked far, the light over the upgrade point section on his badge fluctuated back and forth, finally settling firmly on... "11120"!

Clearly, the AI intelligent system had started continuous analysis... and had directly upgraded Lin Yi's points from just over a hundred to more than ten thousand.

Lin Yi hadn't noticed this yet, but Bai Zhanting and the others were just about to cross paths with him when one of the older brothers pointed at Lin Yi, his mouth wide open, stammering, "Upgrade points... upgrade points are over ten thousand, over ten thousand..."

It sounded as if the guy had gone crazy, and his words made Bai Zhanting and the others instantly look over in Lin Yi's direction.

However, all they could see was Lin Yi's back.

Bai Zhanting immediately shouted frantically, "Brother Lin Yi, wait a second! Turn around and look at your upgrade points!"

Just as Bai Zhanting finished speaking, Lin Yi lowered his head to check as well, and discovered the value of over ten thousand upgrade points.

"What the hell... it really is over ten thousand!"

"Brother Lin Yi is a god forever, this is too insane! This is only the second day in the Demon Prison... I've been in the Demon Prison for three years, and my upgrade points are still barely over two hundred..."

"I... I'm about to cry... Could it be that Brother Lin Yi will become the very first person in the history of the Demon Prison to walk out with a full ten-level rank?"

...

The shock didn't last long before Bai Zhanting and the others looked at Lin Yi with wry smiles, and then said, "Ten thousand points... It seems that the incomplete secret realm space and the events at Shanghe Village got you quite a haul of upgrade points, Brother. I'm convinced, I am completely convinced. Brother Lin Yi, you are the only person I've seen in all my years here who, after just two days in the Demon Prison, has more upgrade points than some Grandmasters... I'm afraid that even across the entire national Paranormal Investigation Bureau, Brother Lin Yi, you are unprecedented!"

...

Lin Yi didn't feel anything particularly special about it. Having more upgrade points didn't come with any special rewards anyway—what was the use of them?

Seeing Lin Yi's indifferent expression, Bai Zhanting couldn't help but smile.

This brother Lin Yi probably didn't know what upgrade points could be used for in the Demon Prison yet. If he knew, he wouldn't be making that face, would he?

"Uh... Brother Lin Yi, the upgrade points in the Demon Prison can be exchanged for all sorts of good things. You don't think upgrade points are useless, do you? There are way too many things you can get with them..."

Hearing Bai Zhanting's words, Lin Yi stopped in his tracks, his eyes widening. Upgrade points could actually be used to trade for things?

Seeing Lin Yi's reaction, Bai Zhanting was certain that Lin Yi hadn't known about this.

"If upgrade points were useless and there wasn't enough motivation in our Demon Prison, how could all the jailers and patrollers remain motivated and work enthusiastically? Brother Lin Yi, you... well, never mind. This month's upgrade point event hasn't started yet anyway. We'll discuss it in detail when the time comes, Brother Lin Yi."

"..."

Lin Yi didn't know what to say. There were even events associated with upgrade points?

Why did this feel exactly like those supermarkets or pharmacies where you spent money to earn membership points and then traded those points for little gifts?

He had no idea which clever mastermind had come up with such an idea.

Still, this could be considered an unexpected blessing and a windfall.

No matter what, the upgrade points were in the bag.

After saying goodbye to Bai Zhanting and the other veterans, Lin Yi walked along while complaining inwardly that the AI big data was too stingy. Clearing out that incomplete boundary micro-space had only rewarded him with this paltry amount of upgrade points.

With all those incidents at Shanghe Village, saving so many lives, and making such a massive contribution, the upgrade points amounted to just this?

Wasn't that a bit excessive?

Muttering under his breath, Lin Yi arrived at Room 27 in the Ding-rank area.

Inside Room 27 of the Ding-rank area, the Mermaid Demon had already begun to recover.

Zhang Fang, the seductive corpse-mother, was bound to the opposite wall by a series of chains etched with talismanic patterns.

The two monsters stared at each other with wide eyes, neither of them making a sound in the end, leaving the room exceptionally quiet.

Lin Yi peered through the window in the door, and seeing that there were no abnormalities, he gave a couple of dry coughs.

Just those two coughs caused both the Mermaid Demon and the seductive corpse-mother Zhang Fang to tremble all over simultaneously, terrified and speechless.

"Little darlings, I'm here. Sing, move, dance, get pumped up!"

Lin Yi pushed the door open and stared at the two of them with a greedy look.

The reason the Mermaid Demon had recovered so well—even growing back a portion of its lower fish tail—was because the Grandmaster in charge of the first level of the Demon Prison knew Lin Yi paid close attention to it. Consequently, orders had been given, and Bai Zhanting and the others had fed it a large amount of ominous energy along with heaps of flesh and blood from other demons and ghosts.

These had given the Mermaid Demon a hearty meal, which was why it had grown back so quickly.

Hearing Lin Yi's voice and seeing him, the Mermaid Demon knew the drill very well, and its enchanting singing instantly rang out.

On the other hand, the seductive corpse-mother Zhang Fang still had no idea what was going on, and simply stared at Lin Yi in utter bewilderment.

Lin Yi was very unhappy with this reaction. He was already feeling hot-headed inside; the sky-covering red mist had made him extremely irritated, and he had even wanted to kill Zhang Ruofeng and the others. Who knew that this corpse-mother Zhang Fang wouldn't even play along?

Without another word, Lin Yi walked right up and punched Zhang Fang.

The scorching, ultimate-yang energy left Zhang Fang stunned.

Zhang Fang asked subconciously, "What's wrong, Lin Yi? Did I... did I offend you again?"

Before she could finish, Lin Yi stepped forward with a loud *bang* and kicked her.

Seeing this scene, the Mermaid Demon felt its liver trembling with fright.

It wanted to cry; it wanted its mother, but it didn't dare make any other moves.

Resisting that overwhelming fear and sorrow, it forced its singing to become even more melodious.

Lin Yi glared at Zhang Fang and said, "Didn't you hear what I just said? Sing, dance, move for me!"

With that, Lin Yi fixed his eyes on Zhang Fang.

Zhang Fang was speechless, because she was bound completely in chains—how was she supposed to dance like this?

Before Zhang Fang could ponder further, Lin Yi's fist came flying over again.

After a miserable scream of "Ah," Zhang Fang threw all thoughts of the chains out the window and immediately started thrashing and moving about.

The moment she moved, Zhang Fang felt the energy driven by the talisman patterns on the chains begin to burn her body, inflicting pain upon her.

Yet she didn't dare stop.

The few punches Lin Yi had thrown earlier made Zhang Fang realize that if she spoke another word, there was no telling how badly she would be beaten.

Soon enough, Lin Yi noticed this.

Rubbing his nose, Lin Yi figured he had been a bit too rash and his temper had been too fierce.

Next, Lin Yi loosened Zhang Fang's chains a bit, which made it much easier for her to dance.

Accompanied by the mermaid's enchanting singing, Lin Yi felt as though he had stepped into an immortal realm, floating on air.

All the corpse spots and black hair on the body of the seductive corpse-mother Zhang Fang had completely faded away, leaving only an extremely seductive female physique swaying in a continuous dance.

As she danced, her clothing grew sparser and sparser, causing Lin Yi to feel his internal heat rising higher and higher.

However, alongside the melodious music, that heat gradually began to stabilize.

Lin Yi felt as if a fairy was gracefully dancing before him, occasionally letting out silver-bell-like laughter.

That pretty face, that curvaceous figure with its exquisite proportions, made Lin Yi feel as though his entire being was ascending to a higher plane.

Thus, with eyes wide open, Lin Yi enjoyed the music and the scenery while constantly tempering himself.

Within the mysterious space of the *Slaying God Scripture*, stimulated by the Mermaid Demon and the seductive corpse-mother Zhang Fang, even more warm sensations began to be born, surging toward Lin Yi.

With this double-pronged approach, Lin Yi found himself somewhat sinking into it.

Lin Yi felt that although he could only look and not touch, this cultivation method was even more gratifying than that of the little Nightmare Demon, Liu He.

Just by staring at beauties and listening to music, his strength kept growing stronger and his Yin Spirit kept solidifying.

That little Nightmare Demon Liu He only gained strength boosts through physical contact and surging blood Qi; whereas he, Lin Yi, was improving every single second.

Time ticked away bit by bit.

Two hours later, the Mermaid Demon's voice began to grow hoarse, which annoyed Lin Yi immensely—it was simply too useless.

As for the seductive corpse-mother Zhang Fang, her body was drenched in fragrant sweat.

If she weren't a corpse-mother, but a genuine ancient corpse, the room would probably reek of body odor by now.

"All right, that's enough for today. Tomorrow, you two must give it your all. I have a feeling... Never mind, I won't say any more. Little darlings, see you tomorrow."

When Lin Yi left, Zhang Fang felt like she was about to collapse on the spot.

The Mermaid Demon felt an extraordinary thirst in its throat.

The two monsters exchanged a look, realizing they shared the exact same miserable fate.

Then, their tear ducts opened, and they wept.

Being a demon or a ghost—why was it so difficult?

Lin Yi opened the group chat and found Bai Zhanting.

Before long, Brother Bai Zhanting arrived at the Ding-rank area, coming alone this time.

Lin Yi said to Bai Zhanting, "Ugh, Brother Bai, I have a favor to ask. I forgot to ask you earlier—can I enter the second level of the Demon Prison? My strength is already at the A-rank elite level, a quasi-Grandmaster..."

Lin Yi was preparing to head to the second level of the Demon Prison to find the Turtle Demon and kill it!
