Chapter 1802 - 323: 6

Hell is not empty, and one vows not to become a Buddha?

Some things, once started, cannot be undone. As part of the group helping the Great Emperor attract and suppress the Bodhisattva, Li Zhiyuan, like the Great Emperor, hopes that the Bodhisattva will never be able to return from hell.

So, the most secure way is... to replace the Bodhisattva with another.

...

The morning exam starts.

According to the student number, Li Zhiyuan sits first in the first row.

This is a position almost destined to have no chance for cheating.

Of course, the young man does not need that.

Even though the young man's condition is already improving and his emotions have accumulated a shallow layer, he still cannot empathize... Why do some people find exams to be difficult?

The paper is handed out, and after filling in his name and student number, Li Zhiyuan quickly starts writing answers.

Having operated arrays many times, his hand speed has increased. Moreover, with a Jiao Spirit nurtured in his palm, the young man's speed in answering questions is so fast that students sitting nearby thought he was playing a doodling game.

An old man, with his hands behind his back, walks into the exam hall.

The invigilators immediately smile and greet him.

The atmosphere in the exam hall immediately relaxes, and a few students raise their heads and initiate radar observation.

Mr. Zhai gestures to the invigilators to adhere to their duties, and the teachers immediately return to their positions, invigilating even more earnestly due to Mr. Zhai's presence.

The newly activated radar observation station has to be dismantled, and students lower their heads and start enduring.

Mr. Zhai walks beside Li Zhiyuan and sits down.

Li Zhiyuan puts the cap back on his pen and looks at Mr. Zhai.

Mr. Zhai points to the paper, signaling the young man to continue answering questions.

The young man picks up the paper, rises, and hands it to the podium.

The invigilator on the podium looks at the young man with a puzzled expression, then looks in surprise at the already completed test paper.

Even if someone had the answers to copy, they couldn't copy them this fast, right?

Nonetheless, geniuses enjoy privileges wherever they are. In theory, the young man attending the final exam back at school is already very gracious.

Li Zhiyuan walks out of the exam hall, followed by Mr. Zhai.

"It's only been a little while since the exam started, hasn't it?"

"Yes, I originally planned to submit the paper a bit later."

"Then it's my fault, haha."

They walk to the side of the corridor, standing there, able to see the playground and the flagpole.

"Xiao Yuan, I've started a project group and hope you can join. It mainly involves organizing data and documents, so there's no need for you to travel."

"Alright, Mr. Zhai, I'd be happy to participate."

Half of the exam time passes.

Tan Wenbin submits his paper.

As he passes by Lin Shuyou, he sees Lin Shuyou working on the last major question.

Leaving the exam hall, Tan Wenbin sees Li Zhiyuan sitting on the stair steps, flipping through a thick notebook.

"Brother Xiao Yuan."

Li Zhiyuan doesn't respond, but quickly flips through the last few pages and hands the notebook to Tan Wenbin:

"This is given by Mr. Zhai, containing case studies of unexpected engineering situations in various places. Go and memorize it."

Tan Wenbin: "Alright, I'll take pictures back in the dormitory."

After waiting a bit longer, people gradually start submitting their papers and leaving. Lin Shuyou is among them, his expression quite relaxed.

The three don't rush to leave, but wait in place for the first exam in the morning to end before heading to the venue for the second exam.

Li Zhiyuan still does as usual — swiftly answers and submits his paper, then returns to the "affordable store" in the residential area without waiting for them.

Run Sheng is organizing the shelves, a task he used to do with Yin Meng.

Lu Yi is on the phone, seemingly communicating with his mother.

Li Zhiyuan takes some pens and notebooks and places them at the front of the counter.

After finishing his call, Lu Yi quickly glances and starts recording them.

"Alright, Brother Genius."

Li Zhiyuan doesn't rush to leave but picks up the phone, dials Aunt Zhang's shop, and tells Aunt Zhang his return date to Nantong and asks her to pass it on to his Grandmaster.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yi speaks: "Brother Xiao Yuan, don't you often go to construction sites for internships? Have you ever seen the situation of flowing red and black water?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Be more specific."

Lu Yi's parents originally worked at a meat union factory. The factory didn't perform well, and it couldn't even issue basic salaries. Later, his parents gritted their teeth, signed a commitment letter, and directly contracted the factory operation. Luck turned in their favor, and the market suddenly opened up, reviving the factory.

This gives Lu Yi, who originally didn't return home during summer vacation to earn tuition and living expenses as a tutor, a hidden tendency to become a factory heir.

Recently, the meat union factory is expanding its buildings, but just as construction starts on that land, water begins to bubble up — black during the day, red at night — making even the construction team unwilling to continue, claiming it's eerie.

Li Zhiyuan: "Tell your parents to hold rites at the construction site, with a new table raised at noon and midnight each day and maintained for three days.

If one day the offerings are eaten completely, as if packed and taken away, then it's fine to continue. If after three days and six tables, nothing is touched, it's best to change the land and not go near it."

This phenomenon occurs because there's a demonic tomb below. According to Lu Yi's side, it seems there's a Great Immortal buried there.

The black represents the resentment of the Great Immortal being disturbed, while the red is the fury of the Great Immortal's disciples.

In this scenario, being polite by offering a table of offerings could mean the spirits, eating with consideration, might allow progression. If untouched, it indicates they're unwilling to relinquish this treasured land, and further construction would inevitably lead to incidents.

Actually, the newly expanded factory building is surely beside the old one; there might be more than one Great Immortal buried there, and issues only arose because the meat union factory was originally a public unit.
