Not a god

Chapter 110: Growing Stronger (18.3.1)
September 3, sunny

Two and a half months have passed since the God-King was reborn, and two months have passed since the release of the game "The Man of Destiny". The popularity of The Man of Destiny has also started to decline, and it is no longer changing day by day like before.

It’s not that the topic has lost its popularity, but rather that topics related to the Man of Destiny have gradually become part of residents’ lives.

In the past, any slight disturbance would cause a wave of public opinion, news reports, and top the hot search list.

Nowadays, any shocking and eye-catching events can still cause widespread discussion on the Internet, but they are not as shocking as before.

Let me tell you about some recent major events.

First, "The Man of Destiny" has updated the forbidden techniques mall. In Tianfu Square, you can find the white-haired old man in the market and choose the humanitarian forbidden techniques you want to learn.

However, purchasing "Humane Forbidden Techniques" requires the consumption of evil souls, and it is very expensive. Some of the cheapest "Humane Forbidden Techniques" require dozens of multi-level evil souls.

What does dozens of pieces mean?
Since the last game update, after a character dies, they need to spend a ghast of the corresponding character level to enter the game. Now the price of a ghast has been raised to six or seven thousand.

Moreover, this thing has a low price and is in short supply. If the quantity is small and you want to buy one or two, you can go to the market to buy them. However, the pricing of evil spirits in the market is chaotic, so if you want to buy a large number of evil spirits, you still have to go to the guild to buy them.

Second, people have been missing frequently recently, and upon investigation, it was found that... the missing people had fallen asleep.

As the dreamland and the real world get closer, not only will evil corpses enter the real world from the dreamland, but people will also be able to enter the dreamland inadvertently.

Unlike entering a dream in a game, once the body dies in a dream... then it is truly dead.

As for how to prevent it, there is no relevant method at present. One can only enter and exit the dreamland passively and randomly, and there is no regular pattern at present.

But if you can survive in the dreamland for a period of time, you can return to reality.

This period of time can last from a few hours to one or two days.

Therefore, the Jiangcheng Pastoral Office kindly reminds you that if you find yourself falling asleep, please do not panic, do not shout, do not run around, find the nearest enclosed place to hide, and wait for subsequent rescue.

Third, after Chen Xi negotiated with several representatives, two floors of an office building were rented as the temporary offline office location of the Jiangda Alliance.

The offline office location is very close to Tianfu Square, so Chen Xi Coffee’s sales have increased a lot.

He had nothing to do, so he took his kid over there to take a stroll and see how the guild was currently running.

As soon as he saw that the guild was in debt and was still working for the bank and the Pastoral Office, he turned around and left.

After Su Jiuer broke through the Sovereign's Destiny, several other celebrity-level people with the highest degree of popularity, including Situ with the Heavenly Works Destiny, Gu Nanzhi with the Heart Consciousness Destiny, and Ye Zhaomian with the Flame Demon Destiny, all broke through the Sovereign's Destiny one after another.

Among them, Situ, Bai Yu and Gu Nanzhi officially announced their joining of the Jiangda Alliance.

The man called Situ was a strong man with the strongest talent in Tiangong. He was appointed as the head of Tiangong Hall... This kind of job title, which is somewhat similar to that in online games and martial arts, is also a major feature of the integration of Tiangong people with modern culture.

This man also has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend is Bai Yu, the gardener. Bai Yu has a gentle and quiet personality, and the two of them are together every day.

The remaining one is Gu Nanzhi, who has the mind consciousness.

This is a cold-faced woman with a lolita figure and a mature lady's face. She has a very poisonous tongue and is a second-year graduate student. She majored in marketing in her undergraduate studies and business administration in her graduate studies.

Gu Nanzhi is a rare spiritual practitioner. Her ability is that after looking into her eyes, one’s inner thoughts can be read and she can also manipulate other people’s actions. Chen Xi calls her Uchiha Nanzhi in his heart.

He felt that this person was a talented person, so he asked her to help him.

Gu Nanzhi had no complaints about this arrangement.

Although she is a strong one among the people of destiny, she has no interest in fighting and killing monsters.

She really likes the knowledge she learned in her major during college. Compared with fighting for her life in the dreamland, she would rather be a clerk.

Moreover, before she joined the Jiangda Alliance, she already knew whose will the guild was currently operating under.

She is not like those idiots who were fooled by Su Jiuer's pretentious disguise.

During meetings, when Su Jiuer sat there, all the representatives treated her as a goddess, thinking that she was in control of the situation and was calm and composed.
Only Gu Nanzhi knew very well that this guy was a fucking fool.

The director hired by this fool is quite interesting. He has a sharp eye for judging people and things, handles chores casually, and makes incomprehensible dictatorial decisions on some major matters.

But when the results came out, people were speechless again.

For example, this person inexplicably asked Tiangongtang and Danxiantang to research mosquito-killing and mosquito-repelling devices, and then prepared to export them to Southeast Asia.

Everyone was puzzled, but a few days ago... now there are so many orders that they can’t be supplied.

Gu Nanzhi asked him how he knew that, but he hesitated to speak, sighed for a long time, picked up the thermos cup... and went off work.

What on earth do you mean by this!

She tried to understand the inner thoughts of this workplace superior, but... she saw nothing.

I heard that this person has a similar ability to her, and can feel other people's emotions and even thoughts by listening.

So it’s not as easy as others to invade the sea of consciousness?

Interesting... Just as Gu Nanzhi was thinking this, Director Chen, who had been distracted for a moment by her attempt to invade his sea of consciousness, quickly came back to his senses and smiled at her.

The picture appeared, has the invasion of the sea of consciousness been successful?
Gu Nanzhi was stunned, and then she saw... the scene showed herself, locked in a small house. Suddenly, more than twenty burly men rushed into the house and played rock-paper-scissors with her... with her. The loser would get hit on the head!
She immediately became angry and said, "You, what are you thinking about!?"

Chen Xi said in surprise, "Do you want to see something else? Let me think about it..."

Gu Nanzhi quickly lifted the forbidden technique and stopped spying.

This man was so nasty. She gave him a vicious look and left the office with a stack of documents.

Chen Xi didn't stay long. He came up to take a look and left.

He handed over many things to Gu Nanzhi, and now that the system has started to operate, he has very little to do.

Besides that, there is one more thing.

After temporarily completing the task assigned by Mr. Guan, a primary school student had nothing to do and was successfully sent to junior high school by his mother.

And with a little help from his connections, he was able to get into a key middle school in Jiangcheng.

Elementary school students...finally became junior high school students.

They were actually also from Jinzhou, but not from the provincial capital Jiangcheng, but from a small county northwest of Jiangcheng.

But Chen Xi remembered that Ms. Yin said last time that it took several days of driving to reach Jiangcheng.

In a few days, even if I drive a women's motorcycle, I can drive around Jinzhou Province several times, right?
In response to Chen Xi's doubts, Ms. Yin hesitated and was unwilling to elaborate.

Chen Xi didn't ask any more questions.

My son is in junior high school now, and because I have been traveling around with my son these days, I was naturally fired from my sales job in my hometown by my boss.

Ms. Yin has been looking for a job in Jiangcheng these days, but she wants one that is close to their rental house and close to the school. She hasn't found a suitable one for several days.

"Why don't you come work for me, Ms. Yin? I happen to be short-staffed and I'm thinking of hiring more people."

When Chen Xi learned that Ms. Yin was looking for a job recently, he spoke directly.

Although Douzi looks small and thin, he is very hardworking and willing to work, like a little whirlwind.

Chen Xi raised her salary several times, and the little whirlwind suddenly spun even stronger. She could do the work of three people, and when she was busy, she was like Tom giving a concert, using both her hands and feet.

But if things go on like this, Chen Xi is really afraid of what form this Douzi will be in when she meets her elder brother and second brother next time.

Tianfu Square is close to the school where Xiao Luo attends and not far from the house they rent, so it is a suitable place.
