Chapter 96 - 90: Cultivation Monetization, I Earn 2-3 Thousand in a Month!

Lin Li’s hand didn’t move at all, showing no reflex from the pain. Not only did it not hurt, but for a split second, it actually felt nice, like giving myself a massage. It’s a pity it was so fleeting, leaving a sense of wanting more. Lin Li applied some water to the parts where he got shocked to reduce resistance, making the shocks feel even better, and then continued pressing. Sure enough, it felt even better. When the snapping sound in the room stopped, Lin Li’s thumb was already indented. After electrifying himself, Lin Li started electrifying small objects around him. It was fun. Unfortunately, the piezoelectric igniter could only ignite gas; it wasn’t realistic to use it to ignite dry wood chips. After all, he was no longer his childhood self. After a few minutes of playing, Lin Li rubbed his sore thumb and tossed the piezoelectric igniter back into the toolbox. Enough playing, time to sleep. Lin Li stood up to leave. Then he stopped. What did I come here for again? After thinking for three seconds, Lin Li suddenly laughed relievedly. Damn it, I wasn’t here to reminisce about childhood; I got so caught up in getting shocked I forgot to operate the Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique to absorb the electricity. —With only a small mastery of the Thunder Body, I still can’t absorb passively. Remembering the main task, Lin Li first absorbed some Spiritual Qi from a Spirit Stone, then made it circulate in his body along the meridians of the Thunder Body, before pressing the igniter against himself again. An indistinct current circulated quickly throughout his body the instant he heard the crackling sound, then vanished, feeling different from just being shocked. But the amount was too little to ’form’ inside his body. So Lin Li shocked himself a few more times, and finally faintly felt that there was something more within his body that he could control. "So is this considered absorbed and stored well?" To test it, Lin Li tore a tiny piece of paper, placed it on the table, and pointed his index finger at it to release the stored current inside his body according to the Thunder Control Technique method. "Pop—" A weak explosion of charge. The paper didn’t even move. If it weren’t for that little explosion sound, there would be no telling Lin Li had discharged. And that was from less than five millimeters between Lin Li’s finger and the paper—a greater distance wouldn’t carry any charge. This effect was actually much weaker than directly using an electric shock device. Yet Lin Li was delighted. At this moment, he wanted to (scream) (twist) (crawl in darkness) (squirm). Because at this moment, Lin Li had finally achieved something humans cannot. This small step for Lin Li was a giant leap for Lin Li! His efforts had meaning. "Thanks, butt!" Lin Li made his acceptance speech. Because Lin Li always remembered one thing: in any difficult situation, his butt was always there silently supporting him from behind. Without his butt, he wouldn’t have lasted to this day. The weak power was just because his cultivation wasn’t advanced enough; he barely absorbed any electricity, and the newly formed Thunder Body still had losses during release, so having any power was a miracle. Once the Thunder Body greatly develops in the future, generating and amplifying electricity can become possible, and then Lin Li will challenge this paper piece again! Moreover, if he uses his ’Kirin Arm’ in a [power storage] state to release the current, he could add extra doubling to the power. So, although the current result is disappointing, the future is promising! [Peering into the Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique, the method has initially taken shape. To advance further, secluded development won’t work; practical sparring is indispensable. It’s not undesirable to spar with friends and to slay demons with enemies.] [Task Triggered!] [Task Four: Spar with ten fellow practitioners using the Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique, and use it to slay at least ten demons.] [Reward: Physical Improvement: Qingzheng Thunder-Controlling Body effect increased by 50%; Ley Seed*1; System Currency*50] Just as Lin Li thought of it, the system suddenly popped up a mission notification. After reading the task description, Lin Li scratched his head. Slaying ten demons with the Thunder Technique seems easy; zapping some mosquitoes will do, although the system specifically demands it to be the Qingzheng Thunder Control Technique, so using an electric mosquito swatter doesn’t count, but it’s still simple. All I have to do is drop the ’Blood Crow Assassin’ title, stretch my hand outside the window, and those blood crows will naturally stick to my skin, then I can shock them to death. What Lin Li finds more puzzling is the sparring portion with ten fellow practitioners—how to spar with each one? Zap them all? Though it would be fun, that seems not quite right, haha. "I’ll think about the sparring tomorrow, for now, let’s focus on slaying demons." "But relying on this piezoelectric igniter feels unrealistic, the current is a bit too small." Lin Li looked at the igniter in his hand, feeling it might be challenging. Just like with the paper, a mosquito likely wouldn’t be killed by a single zap. And it required pressing for a long time to release just a little bit. It’s so small, it doesn’t satisfy Lin Li at all. So Lin Li went online to look for information, researching how to make a long-lasting yet relatively safe current release device. There indeed were some basic tutorials. So Lin Li rummaged through his toolbox and found a pack that’s better than six units but without advertising fees, so no names mentioned batteries, using a very simple and brutal way, he tightly wound two copper wires around the poles of the batteries and connected them in series to increase voltage. A pack of twelve gave only eighteen volts, still within the safe range for human tolerance. Then Lin Li made sure his hands were thoroughly wet to further reduce resistance, allowing more current into his body.
