Chapter 39 Walking
The doctor injected Jiang You with life nutrient solution, and the effect was as good as ever. Soon Jiang You felt a lot more relaxed.
After the doctor finished injecting Chen Shiye, he left. Jiang You asked Jiang Lan about Li Fangya, "What did Li Fangya do? I haven't seen her for a long time."
Jiang Lan sighed, "She has reached Sequence 9 and has gone out to seek her promotion ceremony!"
Promotion ceremony? Jiang You suddenly remembered that when he first advanced to Sequence 9, there was a promotion ceremony, but he knew very little about it, so he asked Jiang Lan carefully.
Jiang Lan answered briefly. It was actually nothing. It was very simple. After each awakened person reaches 100% of his sequence progress, he can only strengthen his physical body by killing Weird. He will not be promoted to sequence 8 immediately. He must complete the promotion ceremony. Only after that can be done, and the promotion rituals of each sequence are strange and different for everyone. Some people's are very simple, but they can be promoted if they take some time.
But there are still some unlucky people, and their rituals are extremely unconventional and harsh. For example, one person's promotion ceremony was to kill a drought demon. Regardless of whether he has the strength to kill it, he must first find the drought demon. If he can't find it, Well, even if the path to promotion is cut off, I haven't heard of anyone who can bypass the ritual and advance to the sequence, so this step is also a time to compete for character.
After hearing this, Jiang You nodded secretly. He had actually reached 100% when he killed the disgusting female corpse in the ancient tomb robbery cave. However, he was in a critical situation and had no time to check. After listening to Jiang Lan's words, he quickly looked at his sequence. Words, pray silently in your heart, but don’t be too outrageous!
Jiang You checks his sequence:
[Name: Jiang You]
[Life span: 30 years]
[Sequence: LV9 Exorcist Mage (100%)]
[Supernatural power: exorcise evil spirits (blood contains some power to exorcise evil spirits): Connecting to the underworld! 】
[Promotion Ritual: Kill the Weird (0/10)]
Is it enough to just kill ten weirdos? Jiang You felt relieved. Fortunately, if this ritual were performed on others, it would not be difficult, but it would probably take a lot of effort to gather ten weird ones. However, he has the existence of the gray world. With his current strength, To complete the ritual, you only need to enter the gray world once!
Jiang Lan stayed in the ward for a while longer, and saw that their injuries had stabilized, so she left.
Jiang You was lying on the warm and comfortable hospital bed, his spirit relaxed at this time, and he soon fell asleep.
This sleep went directly from eight or nine o'clock in the morning to five o'clock the next day. Jiang You was woken up by the murmuring in his ears as usual. Why did the time of this murmuring come earlier?
After a good night's sleep, Jiang You felt completely refreshed, and his physical injuries were almost healed. Suddenly, he found a figure beside his bed. He was startled, and turned around to look. It turned out to be Wei Zhi'an!
Wei Zhi'an sat quietly on the small bench next to Jiang You's bed, wearing his new gold-rimmed glasses. Seeing Jiang You wake up, he said gently: "Xiao Jiang, are you awake? How are your injuries?"
"I have been injected with life nutrient solution and I am much better. When did the section chief come?"
"I just got here!" Wei Zhi'an had a lot of things to do in the past two days and didn't sleep at all, but his energy and blood were extremely rich and he didn't feel tired at all.
"Can you get out of bed?"
"Can."
"Then let's go out for a walk and chat for a while. You slept for a long time, so you can get some fresh air. Xiao Chen is still asleep, so don't wake him up."
"Okay Section Chief!"
Jiang You was walking in the unit with Wei Zhi'an while wearing a hospital gown. It was already late autumn in September, and the weather was getting colder. The cold wind blew on Jiang You in the early morning, but he didn't feel cold at all, but felt cool. a feeling of.
"Have you mastered martial arts to the point where you are immune to cold and heat?" Jiang You thought in his mind. He raised his head and looked at the scenery around him. The sun had not come out yet, and there were a few half-dark stars hanging in the sky. The street lights from the unit shone softly on the weeping willows on both sides of the road. The world was extremely quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the splashing of water by the early-rising wild ducks in the lake.
Wei Zhi'an handed Jiang You a cigarette. Jiang You didn't show any pretense this time and took it without saying a word. The two of them smoked and walked along the road by the lake.
Wei Zhi'an sighed and took the lead to break the silence, "Xiao Jiang, what do you think of the unit?"
"It's a state agency. It has stable work, good remuneration, and can serve the people."
Jiang talked about it with cliches, and Wei Zhi'an said: "This is the good thing about it. Everything has two sides. The opposite is that there are many restrictions, big rules, bureaucracy is prevalent, and many things cannot be done by oneself!"
Wei Zhi'an took a puff of his cigarette and continued: "And when there are more people, it is inevitable that different ideas will arise, resulting in different factions. Due to different interests, factions will fight openly and secretly. These have been around since ancient times, and it is not uncommon.
But after the changes in our world, this kind of struggle has been amplified, and now it is becoming more and more intense. Many factions cannot reach far because of their regions, unit systems, and explicit rules. Their influence on some places is limited and they cannot Strive for resources from official channels, but isn’t that a fight? Of course not. You must know that the time for change in our era is still very short. The strength of all awakened people is improving rapidly. One step is slow, one step is slow, and those who walk fast will become stronger and stronger, and they can compete with each other. There will be more and more resources, and no one is willing to give up such opportunities to others, so the organization Twelve Zodiac came into being! "
Jiang You frowned and said, "What the section chief means is that the twelve zodiac signs are actually the personal weapons of the big guys above?"
"Don't say that, we can only say that its personnel composition is very complicated!"
"Then the previous sieges and suppressions were just a show?"
"Of course not. As I said, there are struggles between factions. Some people make money from it, and naturally some people want to destroy it. In fact, the previous struggles were not as explicit as this one, mainly because the art of immortality is involved here. ! You know, some of the big leaders above are already very old, and promotions have to go to high levels to extend their lifespan, and many people can’t afford to wait!”
"Then why isn't the Purple Gold Wooden Box handed over by us? It's the same anyway, we can still get more credit!"
Wei Zhi'an smiled and said, "As long as this wooden box passes our hands, then we will be officially involved in the faction struggle. All methods must be legal and compliant. Those who get the wooden box are happy, but they don't get it." Yes, if you offend us, then the gain outweighs the loss, but if it is handed over by the twelve zodiac signs, then we have nothing to do with it, and whoever gets it in the end can do it according to his own ability!"
Wei Zhi'an explained the twists and turns here to Jiang You one by one. Jiang You learned a lot after listening to it. Being a civil servant is indeed different. You can't just bury your head in pulling the cart, but also have to look up at the road!
