Episode 131: How frustrating, were you just naturally born with cheat-level abilities?
『 Yoshiko Kyuumiya completely ignored Wang Ling and said, "I told you, I didn't take anything from the Sun family!"
However,
Before Yoshiko Kyuumiya could wonder why Wang Ling always managed to get ahead of her, Wang Ling's figure instantly moved in front of her again.
"Hand over that divine artifact."
Yoshiko Kyuumiya frowned and replied, "GO AWAY! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOU!"
But then, Wang Ling appeared above the stairs once more.
"Hand over that divine artifact."
Seeing Wang Ling block her path repeatedly, Yoshiko Kyuumiya simply summoned an eyeball-covered demon from the Demon Sealing Scroll to assist her.
However, before she could even take two steps,
Wang Ling had already dealt with the demon and stood in front of her, questioning in a deep voice:
"Are you going to hand it over or not?"
Facing Wang Ling's interrogation, Yoshiko Kyuumiya, in turn, waved her hand and summoned several monsters to attack Wang Ling.
Seeing this situation, Wang Ling, without a word, drew his Jingke sword and hacked and slashed at those demons. In the blink of an eye, the demons were all dealt with cleanly, not a single one remaining.
Seeing Yoshiko Kyuumiya still wanting to summon more demons,
Wang Ling cleanly cut the summoning scroll into two pieces with a single sword stroke.
Immediately after, the scroll shattered, and the dark energy released instantly swept Wang Ling and Yoshiko Kyuumiya into a mysterious space filled with withered bones.
Yoshiko Kyuumiya looked around at the eerie environment,
Scared stiff, she collapsed to the ground, her face pale, muttering:
"Oh no, IT'S ALL OVER!" 』

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Wait, why is that person also so scared after coming in?" ]
[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "Could it be that she really didn't take it?" ]
[ Yoshiko Kyuumiya (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "I am a good person. If I say I didn't take it, I didn't take it." ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Alright, I believe you." ]
[ Yoshiko Kyuumiya (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "You believe me so easily?" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "It's because you're scared." ]
[ .....]
『 Inside that barrier, Wang Ling stood with his hands in his pockets, completely unaware of what an opponent was.
"Where is this place?"
Suddenly, a giant spider monster leaped out of the darkness and pounced straight at him.
Just as it was about to strike, Zhuo Yi suddenly appeared, parrying with his sword and cutting the spider monster in half.
"Zhuo Yi?" Wang Ling asked in surprise. 』
『 .....』
〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Didn't Immortal Master Zhuo go to cultivate? How did he also get trapped here, and he's still slaying demons?" ]
[ Zhuo Yi (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "I don't know either." ]
[ .....]
『 In the scene,
"Disciple greets Master!" Zhuo Yi knelt on one knee.
"Master, back then, I went out to sea to cultivate as you instructed, and I also wanted to check out the demon-slaying squad, so I went to Sun Island. As I investigated, I found that the demon-slaying squad was capturing demons everywhere, and the captured demons were all thrown into the Kyuumiya family's volcano, and then there was no news of them."
"So, I planned to sneak into the Kyuumiya family to investigate, but I was caught red-handed by Yoshiko Kyuumiya and got locked up here!"
"Only then did I realize that the demons captured by Kyuumiya were all locked in the volcano. The demons who couldn't stand the hunger started fighting each other in this barrier, and those who survived were refined into demon kings."
Wang Ling glanced at Yoshiko Kyuumiya indifferently and asked, "She wants to refine demon kings?"
Zhuo Yisaid, "Yes, those out-of-control demon kings in Huaxiu Nation recently were all summoned by her from here using the Ghost Scroll."
Yoshiko Kyuumiya sighed, "Yes, but who would have thought that just as the demon kings were about to be refined, the barrier couldn't hold them anymore, so I had to steal the Sun family's treasure to reinforce the barrier."
Wang Ling's voice was cold, "So it really was you who did it."
Yoshiko Kyuumiya quickly defended, "No, I went to the Sun family to find the magic treasure, but I found that I couldn't move it..."
Wang Ling drew his Jingke sword and said indifferently, "Heh, if we open the barrier, won't we be able to get out?"
Yoshiko Kyuumiya advised, "Don't! Do you want to release the demons and destroy the entire Sun Island?"
Wang Ling replied directly, "Exactly! Should I leave you to continue harming Huaxiu Nation?"
At this critical moment, an enormous Ruyi Jingu Bang crashed through the barrier, and in the blink of an eye, a large group of demons who had survived inside the barrier were all released. 』
『 .....』
〜Dimensional livestream, Chat Room〜
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Our Sun family's Ruyi Jingu Bang is actually here?" ]
[ Yoshiko Kyuumiya (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Could it be that my future self really took it?" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "No, this barrier was broken, and outside is Sun Island. She wouldn't do such a thing." ]
[ .....]
『 In the scene, when the barrier was suddenly shattered by the Ruyi Jingu Bang, thousands of demons scattered like a volcanic eruption.
At the very top of the volcano, Froggy 2 held the Ruyi Jingu Bang in its mouth, looking down at all the demons below.
As for why Froggy 2 was here at this time,
That was due to something that happened in the past.
One night, Froggy 2 was rescued by Zhuo Yi, saving the one-eyed demon.
Just as Froggy 2 was about to turn and leave,
The one-eyed demon knelt on the ground, crying bitterly and saying:
"Don't go! Although your appearance and identity have changed, I will never mistake this demonic power. You are the Demon King, aren't you?"
"Please lead us again and help our demon race continue to survive!"
"What are you saying? I don't understand!" Froggy 2 pretended not to hear,
Because in its heart, it had long since cut off all ties with the demon race, integrated into the human world, and lived an ordinary life.
Regarding the memories of the demon race, only fragmented pieces remained.
It no longer wanted to be entangled in the grievances between humans and demons.
However, when its own birthday was also forgotten, it suddenly realized that it belonged neither to demons nor to humans!
In its despair, it wandered aimlessly through the alleys,
And once again met the one-eyed demon. The other party kindly gave it some food and led it to a gathering place for demons.
Froggy 2 saw that the demons here had become cold and heartless, endlessly drinking, drunk as soulless husks.
Witnessing this scene,
Froggy 2 angrily walked onto the high platform and shouted:
"No one cares!"
"No one at all cares about the lives of us demons. Are you willing to live this miserable and hopeless life in the sewers?"
"Have you ever thought about why we live like dogs now?"
"It's not because humans treat us as dogs, but because we ourselves implicitly accept this in our hearts!"
Immediately, Froggy 2 pushed open the door, and sunlight flooded its entire body, making it appear even more majestic and solemn.
"IT'S HUMANS!"
"DAMN HUMANS!"
"They destroyed our homes, took our lives. Are we still going to live forever in the shadow of humans?"
Immediately after,
According to a carefully planned scheme,
Froggy 2 transformed into Lin Xiaoyu's appearance, quietly followed Yoshiko Kyuumiya into the armory, took the opportunity to knock Yoshiko Kyuumiya unconscious, and stole the incredibly powerful Ruyi Jingu Bang! 』

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "So that's how it is." ]
[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "Is all of this because of that birthday party before?" ]
[ Sun Rong (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "I'm sorry, Froggy 2." ]
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Never mind, never mind, this is all your future selves. But Wang Ling, do you know what day my birthday is?" ]
[ Wang Ling (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "This..." ]
[ Froggy 2 (Daily Life of the Immortal King): "Hehe, I understand." ]
[ .....]
『 The scene shifted. Froggy 2, with the Jingu Bang in its mouth, stood at the top of the volcano and loudly declared:
"I AM THE DEMON KING!"
But at this moment, Wang Ling, who saw this scene not far away, suddenly spoke.
"Froggy 2."
Upon hearing this voice, Froggy 2 was instantly scared, its back breaking out in cold sweat.
The domineering look on its face instantly vanished.
"How are you here?"
"What are you biting in your mouth?"
"So it was taken by you?"
Wang Ling said in a deep voice.
"Hehehe."
Froggy 2 displayed an awkward yet polite smile.
Suddenly, all the demons who had originally fled unanimously ran behind Froggy 2, excitedly shouting, "Demon King, let's charge together! Trample humans underfoot!"
"There's a mortal here, let's deal with him first and eat him."
Froggy 2 roared sternly, "Shut up! All of you, step back! This human is not simple!"
Hearing this, the demons all retreated in fear, scurrying back up the steps.
Wang Ling sighed, drew his Jingke sword, and asked, "I roughly understand. One by one, or all of you at once?"
"Wait, after all these years of friendship, I know very well that fighting you would be seeking death! Can we find a way to resolve this peacefully without hurting our feelings?" Froggy 2 hurriedly tried to plead,
After all, it completely knew how powerful its master was.
"Peacefully?" Wang Ling tilted his head in confusion.
At this moment, a demon hiding nearby asked with confusion:
"What is the King doing? Why hasn't he dealt with that human yet?"
"What do you know! This is called negotiating! The King isn't like us, only thinking about eating, eating, eating!"
And on the other side, Wang Ling: "A battle of wits?"
Froggy 2: "That's right, I'll give you three questions. As long as you answer them all correctly, I'll lead the entire demon race to surrender!"
Wang Ling: "What if I can't answer them?"
Froggy 2: "Then you go back to Huaxiu Nation and don't bother with this matter! Anyway, this is Sun Island, and I guarantee the demon race won't harass Huaxiu Nation."
Wang Ling readily agreed to Froggy 2's conditions:
"Deal!" Froggy 2 asked in surprise, "Why did you agree so readily?"
Wang Ling retorted, "Do you think I'll lose?"
"Alright then, listen to the question!"
Froggy 2 presented a question that looked like a PLC flowchart, saying with a smug look, "What's the final result?"
"I noticed a long time ago that you always zoned out in math class in the Sixtieth Gate, and at home, you used magic to make your pencil write by itself. How could you possibly answer it?"
But the next second, Wang Ling immediately replied, "Because X = 1, Y = 1 — the final output result is (- 4.0)."
Hearing this, Froggy 2 was instantly dumbfounded, asking in a panic, "How is this possible? You always just barely passed your math exams with sixty points. How could you possibly answer this question?"
Wang Ling explained calmly, "Do you think it's easy to always get exactly sixty points?"
Froggy 2 pondered, "Could it be that he deliberately controlled his scores every time? Intentionally only scoring at the passing line?" 』

[ Hikigaya Hachiman (Oregairu): "Damn, another score-controlling master..." ]
[ .....]
『 After Wang Ling finished the first question, he immediately said, "Come on, the second question."
Froggy 2 snorted and posed the question, "Assume three celestial bodies that can be regarded as point masses. Their masses, initial positions, and initial velocities are all arbitrary. The requirement is to solve for their laws of motion under the gravitational interaction between these three celestial bodies!"
Wang Ling frowned and asked, "Is this the three-body problem?"
Froggy 2 smiled triumphantly, "Exactly, it's that unsolvable three-body problem! Humans haven't been able to solve it for thousands of years. I'd like to see how you deal with it."
Just as Froggy 2 thought he was sure to win this question,
The ground suddenly vibrated. Three celestial bodies of the same mass slowly appeared outside the Earth, operating in a three-body system.
"You... you... What are you doing?"
Wang Ling calmly replied, "Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. I'm demonstrating their trajectories to you."
Seeing this scene,
Froggy 2 was so scared that it couldn't speak properly: "Stop... stop... stop it, you win the question! Don't destroy the human world along the way!"
"Oh..."
Wang Ling waved his hand, and the three celestial bodies disappeared from their respective orbits. 』

[ Liu Peiqiang (Wandering Earth): "Three-body?" ]
[ Luo Ji (3 Body Problem): "If one had such powerful abilities, the three-body problem should also be solvable, right?" ]
[ Zhang Beihai (3 Body Problem): "..." ]
[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "To control such terrifying things all at once." ]
[ .....]
『 Watching Wang Ling effortlessly clear two rounds, Froggy 2 was so nervous that sweat poured down.
"So annoying, this kid understands the stars in the sky, and the rocks underground, and he has such powerful qi. What... what should I do? Is there no question that can stump him?"
Wang Ling urged it, "Hurry up, ask the third question."
Froggy 2 muttered to itself, "Brain teaser? No, he'll get it in a second. What else is there that he doesn't understand?"
Wang Ling grew impatient, "Froggy 2, hurry up!"
Froggy 2 felt dizzy, thinking to itself, "What should I do? We demons have come so far with such difficulty. Is today the end for demons? The end? Oh, right, birthday!"
So, Froggy 2 turned and asked Wang Ling, "Birthday, when is my birthday!"
Wang Ling heard this,
Hesitantly said, "You..."
"Answer quickly! The last question, what month and day is my birthday!"
Wang Ling was a little embarrassed, scratching his ear, and for a moment couldn't think of the answer.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Froggy 2 immediately became displeased.
"Hmph, I expected this. For so many years, I thought you considered me a friend."
"I was wrong. In fact, you've always treated me like a dog!"
Wang Ling quickly explained, "It's not like that."
"Stop talking! Not just you, all humans are like this! You destroyed our homes, and we fled to the human world for refuge. But then the Seven Star Squad hunted down our demon refugees, and the Kyuumiya family even used us to refine demons. WHEN HAVE YOU HUMANS EVER CARED ABOUT THE FEELINGS OF US DEMONS!"
Froggy 2 grew more and more agitated as it spoke. In its emotional state, it directly broke through Wang Ling's restrictions, and its body once again transformed into the massive form of the Sky-Swallowing Toad.
Wang Ling still wanted to argue, "But Xiaoyu and Xiaoyin..."
Froggy 2 interrupted him, "Stop talking! Do only cute demons count as good? Do other demons not deserve to live? You humans are always like this, spouting grand principles and paths of justice, but behind your backs, you do the most despicable and insidious things."
"For all these years, I've lived under your intimidation, but today... WE ARE NO LONGER AFRAID!"
After speaking, Froggy 2 slammed a paw at Wang Ling,
But its attack was easily blocked by Wang Ling.
Then, Wang Ling executed a whirlwind kick, sending a burst of spiritual energy directly to Froggy 2's chin.
Seeing this stance, Froggy 2,
Scared, it quickly used its ability: "Time stop, REWIND!!"
Just as it was about to strike, Froggy 2 zipped back to the moment it was about to slap Wang Ling.
Wang Ling drew his Jingke sword and slashed at Froggy 2.
"REWIND!!"
Froggy 2 clapped its hands a second time, attacking Wang Ling, but Wang Ling grabbed its paw, spun it around several times, and sent it flying hundreds of meters.
Wang Ling, while controlling three large rocks to rise into the air,
Shouted, "Froggy 2, stop messing around!"
Froggy 2 gritted its teeth and replied stubbornly, "I know I can't beat you, but behind me is the entire demon race!"
Seeing Froggy 2 still wanting to fight,
Wang Ling sighed and directed the rocks to smash towards Froggy 2. However,
Froggy 2 instantly unleashed a time beam, hitting Wang Ling directly.
"Although I can't beat you now, can't I still deal with your younger self?"
In the blink of an eye, Wang Ling, after being affected by Froggy 2, directly regressed into the form of a baby.
However, the infant Wang Ling picked up a small stone from mid-air and threw it at Froggy 2, and that terrifying force directly sent Froggy 2 flying again.
Then, the little Wang Ling crawled onto Froggy 2's head and punched it repeatedly with tiny fists, making Froggy 2 cry out in pain.
"How frustrating, were you just naturally born with cheat-level abilities?" 』
