Chapter 4: Purging the Poison

  Transtor: Krukist

  The Blue Bamboo Cat owned by Lady Nan of the Western Marquis Manor was famous throughout Heavenly Cloud City. Many oners had heard of this cat's had never seen the most precious feline iire kingdom. As a result, a crowd quickly gathered outside Lingzhi Hall to withe spectacle.

  Ihe Hall…

  The servants of the Western Marquis Manor were about to seize Lin Yu, prompting discussions among the bystanders.

  "Lin Yu, that boy… Not only is his talent g, but he also seems to have no sense! Does he really think he afford to offend the Western Marquis Mananoderma Hall is doomed now!"

  "If they take him to the Western Marquis Manor, even if he doesn't die, he'll lose a yer of skin!"

  "If the Blue Bamboo Cat is truly dead, his entire Lin family will have to pay the price!"

  Standing at the best vantage point outside Ganoderma Hall, Li Chaohua watched the drama unfold with cold amusement. Lin Yu was bringing his own doom, and it had nothing to do with her. She had already warned him, but the fool didn't appreciate her kindness. It seemed that her elder brother’s bloodline was about to be pletely wiped out.

  However, when she heard someone say that the entire Lin family might be implicated, her smirk froze. Her expression darkened instantly. If this little brat truly dragged their entire family down with him, that would be utterly unjust!

  A single pair of fists couldn't fight off four hands—especially for someone like Lin Yu, a so-called waste who had never cultivated before. Fortunately, desperation sparked a ing idea. He shouted loudly.

  "Wait!"

  He turo g the fat cat lying on the diagnosis table and spoke with a serious expression.

  "This cat might still be saved! If you attack me now, you're effectively killing it yourselves!"

  Hearing this, Liu and the others immediately halted.

  This cat was their dy's most treasured pet. If it could be saved, that would be ideal. Even if it couldn't, at least they wouldn’t be bmed. But with so many people watg, if they harmed this boy and deyed the cat’s rescue, they could be accused of negligence. Lady Nan would definitely hold them atable.

  "Hmph! You say you save Fortune?" Liu sneered.

  "I … but I’m not sure."

  Lin Yu had only blurted that out to buy time. Otherwise, he would be beaten up and dragged to the Southwestern Marquis Manor. Deying things gave him a ce to think of a real pn.

  A glimmer of hope fshed in Xia Qian's inally despairing eyes. She looked at Lin Yu and asked eagerly, "Little physi, you really save Fortune?"

  Lin Yu forced a smile. "Not sure."

  Save it? How? His medical skills were so poor he couldn’t even cure a cold! The cat was obviously dead. Unless he had some heaven-defying teique capable ing the dead back to life…

  Ding!

  A crisp, pleasant sound echoed in his mind. Lin Yu quickly focused his sciousness inward, looking into his Sea of Awareness.

  On the s of his ever-present puter, the stutivirus program suddenly respohe progress bar, which had been frozen at 99%, finally reached 100%! However, no pletion dialog appeared. Instead, the 100% mark flickered tinuously.

  Overe with excitement, Lin Yu instinctively reached out to click it.

  This puter had followed him all the way from Earth to the Heavenly Sun ti. It was finally finishing its virus purge!

  But although he erating within his Sea of Awareness, his real hand moved as well—naturally nding o cat atop the diagnosis table.

  Its fur was smooth and silky, plump and well-fed. This cat lived better than most people in Heavenly Cloud City.

  The moment Lin Yu touched the cat, the flickering progress bar stopped and a new dialog box popped up:

  Detected Host: Blue Bamboo Cat

  Host Attributes: Grade-A Pet

  Host Status: Paralyzed due to Interrupted Iine Grass Poison; Remaining Survival Time: 30 Seds. Perform Virus Purge?

  o this message, a tdown had begun—30 seds remaining!

  Lin Yu was stunned. But he quickly snapped back to reality. Without hesitation, he selected "Yes".

  In an instant, the antivirus software interface flickered, and a notification popped up:

  Virus Purge plete!

  Then, the puter s went dark. The entire Sea of Awareness returo silence.

  "Meow!"

  The fat cat on the diagnosis table suddenly opes eyes a out a cry. With a nimble roll, it flipped itself over and stood up—pletely lively, without a hint of weakness!

  Narrowing its eyes, the cat tilted its head up at Lin Yu. As if reizing its savior, it rubbed its fluffy head against his hand affeately.

  Lin Yu stared at the cat in disbelief. Did I… just revive it?

  His Sea of Awareness still taihe puter, though the s remained dark.

  So, this is my golden finger?

  A long as the puter is on, the antivirus program purge poison and heal injuries? Not bad at all!

  Lin Yu vividly recalled this puter—it was the one he always used at the i café. Because its system was unstable, veteran ers avoided it.

  But this mae didn’t just have an antivirus program—it had all sorts of other software! If a siivirus program was this powerful, then what about the others?

  "Heh… Hehehe…"

  For over half a year, Lin Yu had struggled in the Heavenly Sun ti, but now he had finally awakened his golden finger! His path t the tables and dominating the world had officially begun!

  Tremble before me, Heavenly Sun ti!.

  "Physi Lin, are you alright?"

  Xia Qian's gentle voice broke his dazed ughter. Seeing Lin Yu standing there foolishly, she was slightly ed.

  Lin Yu snapped out of his thoughts and scratched his head awkwardly. "Sorry, I was just too happy that I mao save the cat."

  Xia Qian sighed in relief. She had been the most anxious one in the room, and now that the cat was alive, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing again.

  "Physi Lin, thank you!"

  Wipiears, Xia Qian sincerely expressed her gratitude. She then pulled out a ed handkerchief from her sleeve and took out some Spirit Stones, them to Lin Yu.

  "This is your sultation fee. Although it doesn’t pare to saving Fortune’s life, this is all I have for now. I hope you won’t mind."

  "No problem, just a small effort on my part." Lin Yu smiled and took the Spirit Stones.

  Reviving the priceless Blue Bamboo Cat and receiving only ten Spirit Stones iurn was ioo little. But Lin Yu didn’t mind. He had saved the cat purely by luck—by stumbling upon the power of his antivirus software. The amount didn’t matter; what mattered was that this was his first-ever sultation fee, making it signifit.

  Outside the hall, the onlookers were in utter shock before bursting into heated discussions.

  "Isn't Lin Yu supposed to be a well-known waste among Heavenly Cloud City's physis? Did he really just cure Lady Nan's Blue Bamboo Cat? Am I seeing things?"

  "Maybe he's been hiding his talents all along? He just checked its pulse, and the cat miraculously sprang back to life!"

  "Lin Wen is a Grade-Three Spirit Pharmacist. His son ’t possibly be useless! We all must’ve misuood Lin Yu. He’s actually a genius!"

  The chatter grew louder. Lin Yu didn’t mind them talking; the more they spread the news, the faster Ganoderma Hall's reputation would rise again. That meant his sister’s tuition fees were secured.

  Even though he had no real medical skills, he could rely on his antivirus software te poisons. Who even needed medie?

  "You… You just got lucky!"

  Liu Ama, whose face had been thhly spped, finally exploded in anger. Her voice rose sharply.

  "The Blue Bamboo Cat is naturally mischievous! It must have been pying a prank while Lady Nan was away! You just happeo touch it right as it woke up! You didn’t heal it—it woke up on its own!"
