Chapter 322: Young Master Ren
The first ray of sunlight in the morning fell from the window sill.
As Sun Jinyi opened his eyes, he could feel that his body was completely different from before.
His hearing and vision had become more sensitive.
At the same time, he could also feel a completely different perception from before.
The smell in the air…
With a light sniff, he could roughly guess the source of the smell.
The smell of cooking oil in the kitchen; the smell of gasoline on the road..
The smell of cheap perfume on the servants of xinluo at home..
His ears could even clearly hear the slightest movement inside and outside the bedroom.
‘Is this the feeling of a transcendent being?’ he thought.
Just as he was about to stand up, his phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar phone number.
But he did not dare to hang up because he remembered this number. It belonged to the Blackguard.
He took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
An extremely dignified voice came from the other end of the phone. “Congratulations, Young Master Sun. From today onwards, you are officially a transcendent being…”
“Please bring your identification card and go to the Jiangcheng City branch of the black-clothed guard before 10 o’clock this morning to register…”
Sun Jinyi nodded and said, “I understand!”
All transcendent being had the obligation to cooperate with the Blackguard.
This was the law, the system, and even more so, the obligation!
The Blackguard had used 200 years of iron and blood to prove its authority and the truth that could not be resisted!
“Right…” the person on the phone said, “After you finish the procedures, take the first flight back to imperial capital today!”
“Yes!” Sun Jinyi did not dare to resist as this was the will of the Blackguard.
…
Situ He put down the phone in his hand.
Then, he leaned back on the chair and slowly felt the changes in himself.
Last night, he was the biggest beneficiary.
After a meal of mutton, it had only been a night of cultivation.
This morning, he discovered that a certain barrier in his soul had begun to loosen.
With a light push, the door was opened.
He had entered a whole new realm!
His soul had become at least five times stronger!
His magic power and the strength of his body had also increased by no less than ten times!
From now on, he was a lieutenant general!
Moreover, it was safe and a smooth breakthrough!
The main reason why the number of generals of the Blackguard was so few was because most of the generals were recuperating behind closed doors!
Ninety percent of their injuries were not caused by their enemies.
Instead, they were injured during the breakthrough!
Therefore, in the past few decades, very few generals of the Blackguard dared to make a breakthrough unless they had no other choice.
Only those who were confident enough would attempt it.
Even so, who knew how many people were seriously injured or even killed because of the breakthrough!
The world of transcendent being was such a dangerous place.
The higher one went, the more dangerous it was!
Just like Zhang He, who had broken through from major-general to lieutenant-general.
In the end, he ended up detonating his old illness and riddled the lieutenant-general’s body with holes.
He could only rely on large amounts of spirit herbs and spirit food to preserve his life!
He had no choice but to take a back seat and become the protector of the imperial palace.
However, he was able to easily break through after eating a meal of mutton.
It was as if it would happen naturally.
He might be the general who spent the least effort to make a breakthrough in this world!
After taking a deep breath, situ he picked up the phone and dialed the number.
Du…Du…Du..
Soon, the call was picked up.
“Commander-in-chief!” Situ He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. “This subordinate has made a breakthrough!”
“Yes, after returning last night, I meditated for a night and it would happen naturally!”
“Yes…”
“I will write the report as soon as possible…”
“Also…”
“Commander-in-chief, I feel that we can implement the rotation system…”
“All the generals in service can come and rotate… one person for a month…”
“It depends on the opportunity… when the opportunity comes, it will naturally come… if the opportunity doesn’t come, there’s no way…”
“Yes…”
“Yes…”
“I will send the relevant report to every general…”
“Mm…”
“Retired generals, if you are interested, you can also apply to rotate…”
“But I suggest that you focus on active duty…”
“Mm… Understood…”
After hanging up the phone, Situ He leaned back in his chair.
It was the instinct of every Blackguard General to take the initiative to propose a rotation.
This was because the generals of the blackguard could not grow up so easily.
Before becoming a general, everyone would be closely observed.
Only those who met all the conditions would be able to obtain the resources and cultivation techniques needed to become a general.
After all, even if it was the federal empire, it was not an easy thing to nurture a general.
Generals were the most important people in the country!
Every person was a human-shaped beast, an expert who could destroy a country and ma.s.sacre a city.
Hence, carefully choosing the candidates, testing them and observing them became the national policy.
Almost all the generals of the Blackguard were almost perfect in terms of personality.
Especially in terms of benevolence, justice, and morality, they had to be above 90 points!
This was something that was very easy to understand.
A country did not need pure powerhouses.
If that was the case, instead of spending a lot of money and using the strength of the entire country to train generals,.
Why not build a few more nuclear bombs and launch a few more s.p.a.ce-based weapons?
Therefore, Situ He believed that even if it were other generals in his current position,.
They would also take the initiative to propose a rotation system without hesitation.
Selfishness was human nature.
However, in human nature, besides selfishness, there were many n.o.ble and great virtues worth pursuing.
At least, Situ He was pursuing these things.
‘I wonder who the higher-ups will choose to replace me?’ he thought.
The figures and résumés of the active-duty generals of the Blackguard revolved in his mind.
In the end, he could almost guess who it was.
That was because the first person to take over his position would definitely be a mature and steady person with enough wisdom and resourcefulness.
There was actually only one such person among all the active-duty generals of the Blackguard.
That person was Lieutenant General Song Shihui, the head of the Blackguard’s southern Zhou branch who had been in charge of the southern Zhou continent for a long time and faced the remnants of the land of Qin and Lu!
He was able to suppress the remnants of the land of Qin and Lu colonists in the southern Zhou, while maintaining an unbreakable balance with many foreign countries, carefully managing external relations to prevent the situation around the Nanzhou kingdom from escalating.
Lieutenant General Song Shihui was very skillful!
As a result, someone once said that if he retired, either the Gonghe party or the Datong Party, regardless of who won, would recommend him to be the first minister of the Central Federal Government.
There was no other general more suitable for politics than this general of the Blackguard!
…
Ling Ping’an turned on his computer and looked at the updated data behind the author’s desk.
Collection: 76.
He curled his lips slightly. “This data is getting better and better!”
It had increased by more than 20 yesterday!
This was the data from streaking.
It was great!
Thus, he immediately updated another chapter.
Then, he sat at the counter and began to write.
The crackling sound of a keyboard rang out.
At the counter, the kitten lay lazily on its stomach. Its two paws were playing with the bronze taotie, having a great time.
Ling Ping’an was immersed in his own story.
Finally, he stopped working and looked at the word count in the doc.u.ment.
2,000 words!
Very good, one chapter is done!
He raised his head and looked at the time. It was already 11 o’clock.
Hence, he took out his phone and ordered a takeaway.
Then, he turned on the television to watch the local news.
“Recently, many large financial groups in the east of the city have announced their investment plans…”
“Among them, Lion City Group has announced that it will add 5 billion to the original 3 billion… it will strive to build the most upscale residential area in the east of the city of Jiangcheng City next year…”
“And the new enterprise group from Yao Capital also announced its investment plan after being unwilling to accept the situation…”
“Influenced by these investment plans, the price of houses in the eastern part of Jiangcheng City, especially in the Jianshe Road and the industrial road area, rose by more than 50% this month…”
“Among them, the price of houses in Jianshe road rose by as much as 200% !”
“Currently, the price of houses in the local area rose to 58,700 yuan per square meter…”
“Even so… most of the owners, when they were investigated, said they would not sell…”
“At the same time, the local housing rental price has increased four times compared to last month, to 100 yuan per square meter…”
“In response to this, the city administration of Jiangcheng City calls on the citizens to remain rational and not to listen to rumors…”
“In addition, there is a strong demand for rental and sale houses in the eastern district of the city, especially near the Jianshe Road and the Industrial Road…”
“The representative of the Council of Physicians said that the munic.i.p.al authorities should make good use of the existing public land and provide more affordable housing options for the people..
“The representative pointed out that several state-owned industrial parks near Jianshe Road and industrial road in the eastern district should be used to transform and build low-rent houses..
“According to the relevant system of the state, the citizens should be rented out…”
Ling Ping’an looked at the news with his mouth wide open.
“Are you talking about me?”
“The housing price has soared to 57,000?”
This was simply unbelievable!
The housing prices in this area had not been touched for at least 20 to 30 years, right?
It had always been like this, half-dead.
It had suddenly doubled?
In other words, his value had quietly tripled?
As expected, it was the king’s way to sit around and wait for death, and to win equally!
However, this increase in price was too fierce!
‘It must be because of that rumor…’ Ling Ping’an thought.
In the nearby area, the rumors had been spreading more and more.
Moreover, everyone was talking about it.
These people would naturally spread the news while they were talking.
The capital was able to take advantage of the gaps and connect them seamlessly. Naturally, they could raise the price of the house.
This was a very normal thing.
He was already used to it!
Creating hype was the eternal nature of capital!
Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an shook his head. “These guys… I’m afraid that they will create hype again and then leave with arbitrage, leaving behind chicken feathers…”
In recent years, capital had damaged many things.
Shared bikes…
Blockchain…
Live broadcast…
New Finance…
Especially blockchain, which could be called the IQ tax harvester.
At the peak, a lot of people were involved.
They used all kinds of gimmicks to trick people into taking over.
Then…
There was no then!
There were only a few that were still alive.
The others had already collapsed.
Fortunately, Ling Ping’an had always been smart and had long seen through these tricks, so he was unharmed.
This time was no exception!
‘Hehe…’ he thought, ‘I’m afraid that soon, the rumors about Jiangcheng city and even the entire Guangnan will be magnified…’
‘Then, a large number of people will take over for the children at high prices…’
‘Wait until next year’s college entrance exam, when the bubble is exposed…’
‘Leaving a pile of chicken feathers…’
However..
He leaned back on his chair and watched the news on TV.
He had no choice in this matter.
The only thing he could do was probably not to get involved.
Hmm..
Whether the house price rose or fell, it had nothing to do with him.
…
Chiho Fujiwara rode her electric donkey and once again came to this street.
She still didn’t quite know the way, so she had to use navigation to find her way here.
She parked the electric donkey by the side of the road and looked at the posters on the street.
The housing prices here were experiencing a surge.
Even the rental prices were skyrocketing!
Someone had offered 10,000 yuan for a 50-square-meter single room for a month!
Even so, it was still very difficult to rent!
Everyone was covering their houses. Even a fool knew that the price of a house here was far from the end!
‘The land of Wenqu Star?’ Chiho Fujiwara thought about the legend she had heard.
She slightly curled her lips.
Compared to the legends in the market, she believed more in the story she had heard from her cousin.
This was because there was a reclusive expert here!
His n.o.ble character was embellishing the surroundings.
Under the influence of the literary aura, people naturally yearned to learn.
This was very easy to understand!
The surroundings played an important role in influencing one’s character.
But…
“Sir… is there really such a miraculous and wise person?” Chiho Fujiwara raised the takeaway box and asked herself.
The people of Fu Sang had a deep yearning for the wise men of the Federal Empire.
The higher up one was, the more so it was!
After all, history had proven all of this.
The ancient envoys of the Tang dynasty had learned civilization and systems from this place and brought them back.
Master Jianzhen was merciful and compa.s.sionate. He traveled to Fu Sang to educate all living things and was even worshipped by people to this day.
In modern times, generations of Xia Amba.s.sadors traveled from sailing ships to ships to iron-armored ships and airplanes.
People witnessed the leap of this cultural home country.
They also witnessed the greatness and prosperity of the eastern civilization.
They also received tangible benefits!
The people of Fu Sang did not need an army. Their safety was guaranteed by this country.
The people of Fu Sang did not need to worry about famine or plague.
If something happened to big brother, he would always be generous.
Cheap Grain was enough to fill the entire archipelago. For the first time since ancient times, Fu Sang, who was hungry, did not need to worry about tomorrow’s grain. Cheap Medicine was enough for the poorest people to buy basic medicine.
There was also no need to work hard in industry and exchange blood and sweat for money.
As long as he lay down and followed his big brother, he could enjoy all the conveniences and achievements of modern civilization.
Thus, naturally, compared to the people of this country, the people of Fu sang admired and worshipped everything here.
Especially the sages!
Those reclusive people quietly lived in seclusion in the marketplace, silently pushing the world forward.
When problems arose in the country, they would stand out and turn the tide, and Fu Mansion would fall.
Just like the ancient sages in the bamboo forest.
And just like the modern Emperor Taizu who was born in the wilderness!
Thus, the legend of the Sage who was born 500 years ago was well-known throughout the world.
The people of Fu Sang believed it without a doubt!
So, Chiho Fujiwara carried the takeaway food box.
She respectfully walked to the entrance of the bookstore and gently knocked on the door.
The owner of the bookstore, a sage who lived in seclusion here, seemed to be watching the news on TV.
He turned his head and saw Chiho Fujiwara. He said softly, “Please come in!”
Chiho Fujiwara respectfully pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as she entered, she heard the sound of the news.
It was the news that was discussing the price of the nearby houses.
Immediately, Chiho Fujiwara thought of something when she heard it. She brought the food box up and asked, “Sir, Congratulations… If your store is sold now, you will get a lot of money…”
However, that person only smiled.
He casually waved his hand without faking it. “Money? Hehe…”
“I’m not interested in money!”
“Fan Zhongyan said that you shouldn’t be happy with things and not be sad with yourself…”
“But I admire Li Taibai’s style even more…”
“When a young lady is gone, she will still return. But what about the Ming dynasty?”
He gently leaned back on the chair with a calm expression as if he was a character who had walked out of history.
For some reason, at this moment, Chiho Fujiwara only had one line in her mind: who is like Young Master Ren, riding a jade donkey in the clouds!
This line of poetry seemed to be written by this seemingly ordinary sage in front of her.
It was extremely fitting!
Thus, Chiho Fujiwara was filled with respect!
“You are such a talent from your kingdom!”
