I’ll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 585: You Were the One Who Wanted To Leave Back Then And Were Fine With It

Su Yang and Spirit Building were sitting on the flower bed at the end of the pedestrian street. Spirit Building was supporting herself with the wooden stick while Su Yang was squatting on the flower bed. He seemed to be taller than her by half a body.

He asked Spirit Building in surprise, “Are you sure these people don’t have any spiritual energy?”

Spirit Building’s wrinkled eyelids drooped. She nodded and said in an old tone, “Yes, none at all.”

Su Yang was puzzled. “Didn’t you say that spiritual energy is the life force in a human’s body?”

Spirit Building said, “Yes, I did. The little girl that you took me to touch this morning had life force in her body, but she did not have spiritual energy.”

Su Yang was confused. “What are you talking about?”

Spirit Building thought for a while and then explained, “Because I have just come into contact with spiritual energy, my knowledge about it isn’t exactly perfect. Initially, I thought that spiritual energy was the same as life force, but now it doesn’t seem to be the case.”

“Spiritual energy seems to be a type of life force that has been transformed and processed. It could be a product condensed from life force and another type of energy, or it could be a high-level energy refined from life force.

“In short, these creatures all have life force, but they do not have spiritual energy.

“I feel like they are missing some kind of key catalyst that prevents them from giving birth to spiritual energy. You and the other little monsters at home all have this catalyst, so they have both life force and spiritual energy.

Su Yang was confused.

‘The only difference between me and a normal person is that I have added points onto myself. Could this be the catalyst? Is this why I have spiritual energy?

‘Then, besides adding points, is there no other way for everyone to obtain spiritual energy?

‘I think… There should be a way.

‘I just don’t know how yet.

‘However, whether others have spiritual energy or not has got nothing to do with me. I have no intention of evolving the entire human race at the moment. I have not even become Superman myself yet. I’ll play for a few more years first before I decide about this.

‘The most important thing now is my own cultivation.

‘Since I have spiritual energy, could I also start shooting cannons like Spirit Building and go “bang, bang, bang”?’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang wanted to ask Spirit Building how he could unleash the spiritual energy in his body.

Before he could ask, the phone in his pocket rang.

Su Yang picked it up and saw that it was Mr. Shen from the credit department.

‘Mr. Shen?

‘Why is he looking for me?

Didn’t he have a fall out with me?’

The last time Su Yang was bullied by the Fengs, Mr. Shen was the first person to step on Su Yang. He had called Su Yang early in the morning with the intention of retrieving his loan.

As a result, after Su Yang teased him, he ended the call before Mr. Shen could say anything.

‘I didn’t expect for him to look for me again now.

‘If my guess is correct, he should be going back to his usual methods, begging for forgiveness.

‘Previously, he thought that I was in a weak position, so he came to trample on me. Now that I’ve survived, he has come to beg for forgiveness.

‘I have no spare time to talk nonsense with this man.’

Hence, Su Yang hung up without hesitation.

After hanging up, Su Yang asked Spirit Building, who was sitting at the side with her eyes closed, “Madam, do you think I can turn into a human machine gun like you and go bang, bang, bang?”

Spirit Building shook his head slowly and said weakly, “You can go piu, piu, piu.”

Su Yang was confused.

‘What?

‘Is there a difference between those two?

Spirit Building silently gained the upper hand and was secretly pleased, but her expression remained unchanged. She said, “I’ve only been in contact with spiritual energy for two days, so I actually don’t know too much about it. Give me some time while I go back and research about it.”

Then, she added, “After all, you can’t even see spiritual energy now, let alone guide and cultivate it.”

Su Yang was speechless.

‘That makes sense.

‘Since Spirit Building has mentioned that everyone has spiritual energy within their bodies last night, all of us went back and did some experiments to try and utilize our spiritual energy.

‘In the end, other than knowing that the spiritual energy is being stored near our tailbones, we weren’t able to sense any spiritual energy at all, let alone utilize it.

‘After experimenting for an entire night, I felt like I was about to go berserk, but there was still no progress at all. So, I had no choice but to give up on “cultivation”.’

At the thought of this, Su Yang could not help but sigh. ‘It’s a miracle that Spirit Building, the scout, could sense spiritual energy.

‘If not for the fact that they were two souls sharing the same body, if not for the fact that she was born first, if not for her curiosity and if not for the fact that she was bored enough to move her spiritual energy, perhaps we would never have been able to discover spiritual energy at all.

‘However, now that she has discovered spiritual energy, I now know about it as well!

‘This is the most fundamental power of a surreal power.

‘I’m guessing that this might also be the key to transcend everything!

‘If I continue to rely on the system, I might become extremely powerful. No one on Earth would be my match anymore. This entire planet and the billions of people in it will become my toy.

‘However, everything I have now has always been given to me by the system. Hence, I would never be able to escape the dependence of the system and I would never be able to rely on my own hard work to strengthen myself.

‘I can only rely on the system to complete missions, draw prizes and accumulate my own abilities.

‘This isn’t the right path.

‘I will only be able to transcend the foundation of everything by gaining powers that belong only to me, powers that I cultivate through my own efforts!

‘Especially when the essence of the points added by the system is spiritual energy, then that’s all the more reason I should search for the source of that energy.

‘This is because the closer the energy is to the source, the higher its upper limits would be. If I only rely on the system alone, I would never be able to transcend the system. However, if I rely on spiritual energy, I will be able to surpass the system.

‘Of course, this isn’t contradictory to continuing to use the system to strengthen myself.

‘I could very well continue to add points and obtain various abilities and little monsters while cultivating myself.

‘After all, the system has too many mysterious functions. The only way for me to unravel the secrets within is by studying it.’

‘From the way I see it, spiritual energy is like the most basic binary code, while the system is an operating system developed from binary code. The “special abilities” that the system gives me is a program that’s translated into the operating system.

‘Imagine, if I could unravel the secrets of special abilities (programs) by researching spiritual energy (codes), then I could use these special abilities without being restricted by the system!

‘Not only that, I could also modify these special abilities by myself or let other people have the same abilities as I do. As for the program, I’ll just make a copy of it after I’m done researching it.’

Su Yang thought about it for a while. ‘I might even be able to crack the operating principles of the entire system so that I could truly control the system and even modify it towards the end!’

The more Su Yang thought about it, the more excited he felt! He felt like a genius!

‘When others obtained the system, they relied on it to grow themselves.

‘However, I want to find the core of the system, break it down and then eat it to turn it into my own power!

‘I’m literally a genius!’

Of course, even though he was fantasizing, he still needed Spirit Building to figure out how he and the little monsters could utilize their spiritual energy. Otherwise, everything would just be a pipe dream.

So up until that point, Su Yang was just daydreaming…

“Ring! Ring! Ring!”

Just as Su Yang was daydreaming, his phone rang again.

Su Yang picked up his phone. It was Mr. Shen again.

‘Can this man get anymore annoying?

‘He’s calling me again.’

Su Yang once again hung up the call.

However, Mr. Shen seemed to be persistent that time. Su Yang had just hung up when another call arrived.

Su Yang picked it up and rejected the call again.

However, Mr. Shen kept on calling continuously!

This time, Su Yang could not take it anymore. He picked up the phone and scolded, “Are you f*cking done?! Do you think I’m an emergency hotline like 110?! You keep on calling non-stop! You f*cking madman!”

After Su Yang was done scolding, he was about to hang up when a familiar and cautious voice came from the other end of the phone. “Erm… Mr. Su, this is Wang Dong. This is the first call I’m making to you today. Did you mistake me for another person?”

Su Yang was stunned for a moment. ‘Have I scolded the wrong person?’

He thought about it again. He had hung up three times in a row and had become too used to it. He actually did not pay close attention to the fourth call, yet he did not think that it would not be Mr. Shen who had called.

However, Su Yang thought about it again. ‘I didn’t scold the wrong person anyway. Wang Dong should be scolded as well. In fact, I went too easy on him just now!

‘He had founded the company together with me, but he ran away when the company was at its most vulnerable moment. He’s a traitor!’

Su Yang did not even apologize after he scolded him. Instead, he asked directly, “Oh, President Wang. What’s the matter? Is there anything I can do for you?”

When he heard Su Yang calling him “President Wang” coldly, how could Wang Dong not know that Su Yang was cutting ties with him and even mocking him at the same time? He used to be Vice President Wang in the company, but he had gotten promoted and became President Wang after he jumped ship for a promotion.

However, now that he had fallen into such a situation, no matter what Su Yang said, he could only bear with it. Hence, he smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Su, please don’t tease me. I’m at my wit’s end at the moment, that’s why I’m looking for you today.”

Su Yang was confused. ‘What would you being desperate have to do with me? Did I force you into that situation?’

Wang Dong sighed and said, “We’ve actually been investigating the new company for a long time these few days and have discovered that the truth is indeed as you said. The few of us have been deceived, those companies were deliberately targeting our company. That’s why they used double salaries and promotions to tempt us in advance.”

“This is all part of their scheme, Mr. Su.”

Su Yang was confused.

‘So?

‘They were indeed plotting something, but you fell for it. I’ve reminded all of you and even tried to persuade the lot of you to stay, but you insisted on leaving! So… what has it got to do with me that you were tricked?’

Su Yang complained in his heart while listening to Wang Dong continue.

Wang Dong was silent for a while this time. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said a little stumblingly, “We, we have carefully investigated this matter these few days and discovered this conspiracy. Then, we thought for a long time and felt that we could not take this lying down. Therefore, we directly fell out with the current company and plan to go back and continue to be of service to both you and the company.”

Su Yang was confused.

‘What?

‘Are you kidding me?

‘Back then, you were the one who wanted to leave. You were fine with leaving then… Yet now you’re saying you want to come back…’
