Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 41 Prayer
Jiang Jian raised his identification device.

"13-8."

Blue light swept across.

The main gate of the building splits into two sides.

Shi Xuan sighed: "What a pity, each person has an apartment."

"It would be nice if I could live with roommates."

Speaking of it.

He looked at Jiang Jian with expectation in his eyes.

The other three people came over and got on the big elevator. When they heard this, they all looked strange.

"Don't think too much!"

Shi Xuan noticed something was wrong and quickly explained, "What I meant is that being by Jiang Jian's side can motivate me to practice!"

One of them nodded and agreed, "That's right."

beep!
The big elevator stopped at the 12th floor.

Shi Xuan turned to look at Jiang Jian: "Jiang Jian, do you want to have lunch together?"

Jiang Jian remained noncommittal and said, "We'll see when the time comes. Contact us using the ID card."

Shi Xuan responded: "Okay, then I'll go back first."

The elevator door is closed.

A few seconds later.

Stopped on the 13th floor.

"Goodbye."

"OK, bye."

Jiang Jian said hello and walked down the elevator.

What comes into view is an elegant corridor with exquisite decorations.

There is a number plate in front of each room door.

"13-8."

Jiang Jian walked through the wide corridor and stopped in front of a carved wooden door.

"Room 8."

Lift up the ID device and swipe it gently.

"beep!"

"Verification successful!"

The door lock is open.

Jiang Jian pushed the door open and walked in.

Suddenly, a pleasant fragrance filled my mouth and nose.

The wooden door closed behind him.

In front of me is a whole large living room.

"Linjiang Academy really doesn't care about the cost."

Jiang Jian looked at the living room which was over 100 square meters.

I once again gained a clear understanding of the university's strong financial resources.

"Hello."

A gentle voice sounded.

The robot butler came over and bowed slightly to Jiang Jian, "Welcome home."

Its external image is that of a young woman.

The azure eyes moved, full of mechanical feeling.

But the only thing missing is spirituality.

Linjiang Academy strictly abides by laws and regulations.

The use, confinement, enslavement, or sale of informal citizens is not permitted.

Therefore, there are no ghosts or monsters here.

The maintenance of external facilities on the campuses of universities mostly uses expensive manpower.

Corresponding to this.

The daily life of teachers and students depends on the machine housekeeper.

Under the suppression of divine technology.

A machine butler is just a machine.

It's never out of control.

"Want to eat?"

The robot butler stretched out his hand and swiped, and a screen appeared.

"Slow Cooker Short Rib Soup, 2 Alliance Coins."

"Stir-fried sea urchin liver, 3 Alliance Coins."

"Braised beef ribs, 2 Alliance Coins."

……

The menu is full of variety.

There are hundreds of kinds.

The price of the dishes is not expensive.

It is even cheaper than the prices in Guangling City.

Jiang Jian shook his head, glanced at it, and said, "Go back to the machine room."

The robot butler replied, "Yes."

It turned around, walked into the small machine room, and stood still.

Jiang Jian walked up the steps to the hall and sat on the soft sofa.

Suddenly.

Fatigue and sleepiness came over me.

Take out the "hemostatic and stasis-removing oral tablets" and take one.

The uncomfortable feeling dissipated a little.

Jiang Jian opened the identity device and looked at the lower right corner.

There were dozens of new communications.

"Your account has received a transfer: 100000 Alliance Coins."

"Your balance: 950112 Alliance Coins."

Look at your balance.

Jiang Jian looked calm.

This money is not small.

But if used for cultivation.

Not much.

"To practice, or not to practice."

"The speed at which money is spent is completely at two extremes."

"Ordinary people, if they don't practice."

"With just a few thousand Alliance coins, you can eat and drink well and live for a year."

"If you practice."

"This little money is not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."

Thoughts were swirling in my mind.

Jiang Jian looked at another communication.

"Your Linjiangfu platform credit limit has been updated!"

See here.

Jiang Jian opened the Linjiang network and looked at his balance.

"Your shopping balance is 230000."

"The amount is equivalent to Alliance Coin, but it cannot be directly exchanged for Alliance Coin."

Jiang Jian suppressed his thoughts.

"To speed up the progress of cultivation."

“Linjiang Network and the Xuefu platform are the two most important places.”

"Linjiang Network, use shopping credits or alliance coins."

“The university platform only recognizes credits.”

Jiang Jian swiped the screen with his finger and opened the school platform.

The remaining credits are displayed in the upper right corner of the page.

"Your credits remaining: 800."

Jiang Jian browses the academic platform.

I have a clearer understanding of the usefulness of credits.

Credits are very important.

Can be used to purchase usage time of the campus training room.

The training rooms on campus are extremely expensive.

One hour, 10 credits required.

Its special feature lies in the formation of the training room.

The formation is connected to the government office's prayer hall.

The divine envoy of the palace personally arranged it and possessed divine power.

Practicing in the practice room can greatly increase the speed of practicing the Shenque acupoint!

Besides.

Special facilities on campus and precious spiritual materials that cannot be bought outside.

Can be purchased with credits.

Close the academic platform.

Jiang Jian took a brief inventory of his property.

"95 Alliance Coins, 23 shopping credits, 800 credits."

"These are what I will rely on for my future cultivation."

Jiang Jian swiped across the screen and looked elsewhere.

"Level 1 talent light ball, random type."

"Level 2 talent light group, type of your choice."

"Level 2 divine weapon, of your choice."

“These things haven’t been shipped yet.”

“But now, the choice needs to be made in advance.”

Think for a moment.

Jiang Jian selected "Level 1 Talent Light Ball" and opened it directly.

"Congratulations, you have obtained the Level 1 talent Light Ball, Body, Blood Activation and Strengthening."

"Please wait for delivery."

Jiang Jian clicked to postpone the shipment, and then selected "Level 2 Talent Light Group".

Open it in the same way and select "Surgery".

Generally speaking.

The innate light ball of "Skill" is the most expensive.

So Jiang Jian did not hesitate about the type he chose.

Level 2 "Skill" is worth hundreds of thousands of Alliance coins.

Jiang Jian's plan.

Put the unused talent light balls on the Linjiang network and sell them in exchange for alliance coins.

The light flows.

A few seconds later.

A flash of light flashed.

"Congratulations, you have obtained the Level 2 talent Light Ball, Spell, Wind Rises."

"Please wait for delivery."

Seeing this scene, Jiang Jian's eyes lit up slightly.

Click on Hold Delivery.

Then he opened Linjiang Network and put the original information in the email up for sale.

The innate light ball is very valuable.

When listing for resale, a clear source must be provided to prove its existence.

"Sale failed!"

"Detected the exclusive talent light group of the Divine University, it cannot be sold!"

"Please return to your school platform to reclaim your credits!"

The prompt sound of Linjiang Network kept ringing.

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment and reopened the school platform.

The idea of ​​reselling Alliance Coins is not feasible.

"Level 1 talent: Light ball, body, blood circulation and body strengthening."

"Repurchase price: 20 credits."

"Level 2 talent: Light Ball, Spell, Wind Rises."

"Repurchase price: 300 credits."

"Are you sure you want to recycle it?"

Jiang Jian didn't hesitate and clicked to confirm.

"Recovery successful!"

"Your credits: 320."

"Your credits remaining: 1120."

at the same time.

The shipping information in the email disappeared.

"God-given weapons must be chosen carefully."

Jiang Jian looked at another email.

"Level 2 divine weapon, of your choice."

This is the benefit for freshmen in the First College.

Among 1800 freshmen.

There is only the First College, with 50 students.

You can obtain the benefit of level 2 divine weapons.

The second academy only has level 1 divine weapons.

"An ownerless divine weapon can be used after a simple binding ceremony."

Jiang Jian clicked on the email and went directly to the selection page.

"Attack, defend, deploy, control, suppress, and recover."

Six types of God-given weapons are revealed.

Think for a moment.

Jiang Jian pointed to "recovery".

Suddenly.

Large amounts of information emerged.

"Heart Ring Bracelet, a Level 2 divine weapon, allows you to calm your mind and slowly recover your spiritual energy."

"Herbal Ring, a Level 2 divine weapon, increases affinity with the gods and increases the speed of spiritual energy circulation."

"Bone Pendant, Level 2 God-given Weapon, Enhances Physical Fitness and Increases Meridian Strength."

"Wish Jade, a level 2 divine weapon, increases affinity with the gods and slowly restores spiritual energy."

"Silver necklace, a level 2 divine weapon, cools the mind and dispels evil spirits."

……

There are many kinds of "restoration" type divine weapons.

God-given weapons are different from innate light balls.

The Shenque point can only hold one ball of innate light.

and so.

Most people only have two talents.

The first one is the original talent.

The second one is a ball of innate light placed in the Shenque acupoint for cultivation.

However, there are no such restrictions for God-given weapons.

As long as there is enough spiritual energy.

Even if ten divine weapons are activated at the same time, it can be done.

"despite this."

“The campus information still has some caveats.”

"The number of God-given weapons should not be too many."

"It's best to limit it to one or two items."

"Because every divinely bestowed weapon must undergo a binding ceremony before it can be used."

"Too many bindings."

"On the contrary, it will make the spiritual energy turbid and delay cultivation."

Jiang Jian thought for a moment.

I have made up my mind.

His own divine weapon was temporarily controlled to one.

The Hanguang Sword is a gift from God.

There is no need to go to the Prayer Temple to perform the Binding Ceremony.

"Wish Jade, a level 2 divine weapon, increases affinity with the gods and slowly restores spiritual energy."

After looking for a while, Jiang Jian's gaze fell here.

No hesitation.

Simply select this message and click OK.

"Level 2 God-Granted Weapon, Prayer Jade, are you sure you want to receive it?"

Jiang Jian confirmed again.

"Congratulations, you received it successfully!"

"Please wait for further notification!"

Swipe away the communication and turn off the ID device.

Jiang Jian lay on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed.

Sleepiness came like a tide.

"Since the God-given ceremony."

"I haven't had an attack for a long time."

My thoughts are in a mess.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

Unknowingly.

Jiang Jian fell into a deep sleep.

It seemed like a very long dream.

In the dream, all the people in the academy turned into scary ghosts.

They were ferocious and terrifying as they passed through one building after another.

It let out sharp and unpleasant screams and bit madly.

The light from the stars turned scarlet.

Afternoon, 5 o'clock sharp.

The sky is getting dark.

Jiang Jian suddenly woke up.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of the white forehead.

"What a weird dream."

Jiang Jian's face turned pale and he took a breath. "Robot Butler, give me a cup of mocha."

Dreams are, of course, false.

When Jiang saw this, he vaguely realized it through this incident.

My mood is very confused.

The feeling of being at a loss in an unfamiliar environment.

Facing the confusion of cultivation.

Facing the fear of the unknown.

All these things are intertwined together.

It constitutes a bizarre dream.

"My state of mind is still not enough."

Jiang Jian closed his eyes.

Tens of seconds later.

Open it again.

His gaze had become firm again.

“No matter what, you must stick to your inner self and not be disturbed by external things.”

My heart is in turmoil.

The robot butler came forward, holding a cup of coffee, and said gently: "3 Alliance Coins."

The cup was steaming.

Jiang Jian took it and pointed to the ID device: "Prepay another 1000 Alliance Coins. From now on, when you buy food and beverages, it will be directly deducted without reporting."

The robot butler's eyes flashed and he said, "Okay."

"Your account consumption: 1003 Alliance Coins."

"Your balance: 949109 Alliance Coins."

A prompt came from the identity device.

Jiang Jian frowned slightly.

Turn on message notifications.

Set it to "No communication required for purchases below 10000 Alliance Coins".

next second.

Jiang Jian seemed to think of something.

Find the communication from "Jiang Zhao" and click to open it.

For two days.

Jiang Zhao has sent more than a dozen communications.

Most of them.

They were all messages asking Jiang Jian to take medicine.

Jiang Jian found out through information.

Jiang Zhao has arrived at Anhe College, completed the accommodation procedures, and officially enrolled.

Anhe College is also a God-given university.

But its size is too small.

It is totally incomparable to Linjiang Academy.

Linjiang Academy, a single-grade campus only.

It is equivalent to 20 Anhe Colleges.

"I haven't had any illness since the divinely bestowed ceremony, so don't worry."

Jiang Jian thought for a moment and sent a message.

A few seconds later.

A "beep" sounded.

Jiang Jian clicked on the instant messaging.

The girl's pleasant voice came: "Jiang Jian, you finally replied to the message!"

"Let me tell you, the academy gave us a shopping credit of 10000 Alliance Coins!"

“I’ve never seen so much money!”

"The food here is free, it really is free food and lodging!"

"Even if we eat at the restaurant, 10 Alliance Coins are enough for a whole day!"

……

She talked to herself for several minutes.

Finally stopped temporarily.

Jiang Jian was speechless and said, "You..."

The words have not yet fallen.

"By the way, see you, Jiang."

Jiang Zhao spoke again, "I have a subsidy from the school. I spent some of it, and I still have 1200 Alliance Coins left. I'll transfer some to you first."

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment and said, "I have money."

"You spend money quickly at Linjiang Academy. I'll give you 1000 Alliance Coins first."

Jiang Zhao shook his head firmly, "Anyway, I'm at school, and my food and lodging are all free. I don't have to spend money on food, clothing, housing, and transportation."

Jiang Jian was startled and said, "Jiang Zhao, don't eat free food. It's not expensive if you spend money to buy food."

Jiang Zhao chuckled: "It's okay, even if it's a free meal, it's better than eating at home."

God-given university, free food and accommodation.

But the free food is not delicious.

If you want to eat delicious small stoves, you can only spend alliance coins.

Linjiang Academy also has a free restaurant.

just.

No one went there at all.

The vast majority of students purchase their meals through the machine butler.

"1000 Alliance Coins, transferred to you."

Jiang Zhao left this message and hung up the instant messaging. "Remember to take your medicine on time!"

beep.

The call is interrupted.

Jiang Jian stared at the ID device with a gloomy expression.

"Your account has received a transfer: 1000 Alliance Coins."

"Your balance: 950109 Alliance Coins."

A beep sounds.

Jiang Jian seemed unaware.

He turned his head and looked out the window.

A gloomy sky.

Like ten years ago.

……

……

……

Guangling City, shadow area.

Public care center.

"I do not want to go!"

"I don't want to go either!"

"You go!"

"I'm not going!"

People were pushing each other, their faces full of fear.

Every week, the guardianship sends one person away.

It is called "adoption".

But the people who were given away seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and were never seen again.

in the corner.

The girl sat there alone, with a dazed look on her face.

Until people's eyes.

Falling on her face.

The yard suddenly became quiet.

Someone tentatively said, "Let her go."

People looked at each other and nodded unconsciously.

"Yes, let her go!"

"That guy isn't here, let her go!"

"Correct!"

They grabbed the girl's clothes and walked out of the yard.

"Don't blame us!"

"We don't want to die either!"

"Every week."

"Everyone has to be taken away for custody."

"It was your brother last week."

"It's your turn this week!"

Talking.

The fear on people's faces gradually faded away.

Become ferocious.

suddenly.

There was a clever one who seemed to have sensed something.

He raised his head tremblingly.

next second.

His eyes widened, his face filled with fear: "That guy is back!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone seemed to be under a spell of immobilization.

Standing there, not daring to move.

One brave one gritted his teeth and said, "Wasn't he adopted last week? How come he's back?!"

No one dared to talk to him.

Doorway.

The boy looked calm as he slowly walked into the yard.

These people were suddenly shocked and stopped moving.

Someone trembled all over and explained, "The guardian said that an adult is coming to adopt a child today, and we have to choose someone to send him to."

The boy had no expression on his face and did not speak.

He naturally knew the "rules" of this public welfare center.

The law in the shaded area is not called law.

The laws of the public welfare center are not called laws either.

Here, "rules" are the most important.

Every few days.

There will be informal citizens coming to the public care center.

Come and adopt as an "adult".

then.

Some people would be taken away and never come back.

At that time.

Jiang Jian is still young.

He didn't understand.

Why do those "adults" look so weird?

Not human at all.

Why did those who were "sent out for adoption" show such fear and resist desperately?

later.

Jiang Jian understood.

But I've also grown up.

"guardianship?"

The boy held the wooden sword and smiled.

"You mean the guy who sent me out last week?"

"She has gone to a quiet place."

"I took her there."

The boy talked to himself.

Walking through the courtyard.

The wooden sword swished.

Like falling leaves and flying flowers, floating catkins and snow.

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground continued to be heard.

Ten seconds later.

In front of the boy.

Only the foolish girl is left.

"Brother...Brother..."

The girl raised her head and her cracked lips moved.

Her little face was pale and her expression was still dull.

But he recognized the boy in front of him.

The boy looked at her quietly.

After a while, he finally said, "I met someone when I went out this time."

"He taught me how to treat your illness."

to his words.

The girl didn't understand at all.

Just constantly.

Murmuring words.

"Brother...Brother..."

……
