Chapter 39
Whether it's doing housework, running errands or cooking, there's basically nothing this kid can't learn.
In the past two days, Chen Bofu has not even entered the kitchen, completely handing over the control of the family to Ryan.
Even if that little skeleton boy had to have a bench under his feet when he was cooking.
On the dinner table.
Chen Boxu's expression has always been unpleasant, especially when he saw Wei Nan picking up vegetables.
When Wei Nan picked up his chopsticks, his brows would jump, as rhythmically as sending a telegram in Morse code.
"A Jing, those people from the council haven't come to see you recently, have they?"
"No."
"It seems that the old man can still control them..." Wei Nan said loudly, glancing at Chen Bofu secretly.
Seeing that his expression improved slightly, Wei Nan continued, "The old man and the people from the council were fighting downstairs that day. I thought the building was going to be demolished by them..."
"Look how coward you are! Can this building be demolished with me here?" Chen Bofu took a sip of soup and said slowly, "Besides, let alone the chief of public security, even if their congressmen are here , I’ll slap him with the same big mouth!”
"I was quite surprised that you didn't come downstairs to watch the fun that day..." Chen Jing picked up a chicken leg for Ryan who was too shy to pick up food, and then looked at Wei Nan, "I thought you would be the first to rush down and join in the fun. "
"I was watching the fun that day, but I didn't dare to go downstairs. I leaned on the window to watch..." Wei Nan muttered, looking a little unhappy.
She felt that Chen Jing didn't know how to take care of her as the boss. She obviously wanted to eat chicken legs too!
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Nan seemed to think of something again and hurriedly explained.
"Don't think I'm unloyal! I had planned to come down to help that day! But I saw the old man taking action..."
Wei Nan scratched his head, not as if he was lying.
"I don't think there is anyone that the old man can't handle, so I didn't come down in the end for fear of causing trouble to you..."
"Well, I like to hear that."
Chen Bofu raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his old face was obviously very happy, but he still remained stiff and did not give Wei Nan a good look.
"Congress is nothing! If you piss me off, I'll go to their headquarters again, and then..."
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
Chen Jing hurriedly gave the old man some food to cover his mouth, and quietly changed the subject.
"Grandpa, you drove away the property management guys. They probably won't come back to cause trouble again. I heard from Wei Nan that the property management company seems to be quite shady..."
Before Chen Boxu could speak, Wei Nan took the first step and picked up the old man's smelly feet.
"No matter how bad they are, can they be as bad as the old man?"
"Are you praising me or scolding me?" Chen Boxu glanced at Wei Nan.
"Praise!" Wei Nan nodded hurriedly, "Those people from the property management company don't have the foresight to offend you. If you ask me, I'll just kill them all... Hey, why are you kicking me!"
Chen Jing quietly put his feet back under the table, feeling that this crazy girl Wei Nan was here to cause trouble.
"It's not impossible to kill them all..." Chen Boxu touched his snow-white afro, with a thoughtful look on his face, "But I'm afraid A Jing won't be happy..."
"It's all in the past, forget it..." Chen Jing comforted, then glared at Wei Nan, "If you give the old man bad ideas again, I won't take you to dinner next time!"
"Stingy guy..." Wei Nan chose to give in, bowing his head to eat in aggrieved manner without daring to say a word.
At this time, Chen Bofu suddenly put down his chopsticks and smacked his lips.
"But then again, that property company is actually pretty good."
Chapter 36: An ordinary pill
Hearing what the old man said, everyone here looked at him in disbelief, wondering if they had heard wrong...
What he said is inconsistent with his petty character!
"I know their boss. When I moved here, he came to visit me. I asked him to keep a low profile and not publicize my story. He has done it over the years...otherwise, how dare those security managers find him? Am I in trouble?"
At this moment, Chen Boxu was also full, so he put down his chopsticks, and then brought the plate of fried chicken in front of him to Wei Nan and put it down.
"If you want to eat it, just pick it up yourself, but you don't dare to use the chopsticks when I put it in front of me? You're so fucking worthless!"
This was the first time that Wei Nan was not angry after being scolded.
Although she wanted to be angry a little bit, but she didn't know why...it just felt weird.
It seems like this old man doesn’t particularly hate me?
"Thank you."
Wei Nan was not the kind of person who was good at expressing himself. He buried his face in the bowl without even daring to raise his head, but his fair ears suddenly turned red.
She is not good at thanking others, especially people who were scolding her in her mind just a few seconds ago.
"Don't thank me, I gave my grandson food, you are so shameless!" Chen Boxu said with contempt, pointing at Chen Jing who was sitting next to Wei Nan.
For a moment, Wei Nan was so angry that he forgot all the curse words and chewed the chicken bones in his mouth as if he had some deep hatred.
"By the way, dear grandson, people from the council called me today and said that they are already looking for a way to help you become an old descendant. That girl named Xu Ye told us not to worry, they will definitely find a way..."
Hearing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but be startled for a moment, and then showed a nice and well-behaved smile.
"It's okay, Grandpa, there's no need to worry about this."
At this moment, the light curtain that only Chen Jing could see was still on, and the dense text on it was a detailed description of this reward.
——
[Sequence Secret Medicine (one serving)]
[Details: This is an ancient secret medicine personally made by the examiner \u003cMu\u003e, which contains the ‘blood of the old gods’ as a medicine. Any examinee from the plane numbered 073013 can transform into an old descendant by taking the secret medicine, and the promotion sequence will be randomly arranged...]
——
The reward page for the additional questions this time... seems to be different from the previous time when he got the Yellow King Holy Grail?
Chen Jing couldn’t remember it clearly, but it felt that there were not so many words last time, and it seemed that the reward details page could only be opened after accepting the reward...
But none of this mattered.
As long as this secret medicine could make him an old descendant, it was enough.
Compared with the methods that the council was looking for outside, Chen Jing felt from the bottom of his heart that the reward for the additional questions was more reliable.
After all, the examiner was almost the same as the "god" in the legend. Who could compare with the secret medicine he made himself?
And let’s take a step back.
The old man had given him a lot of precautions in private, which roughly meant that becoming an old descendant was not that easy. Even if he found a way to transform his body, he would probably have to pay a high price.
Perhaps it was part of his soul.
Or it could be some inexplicable sequelae.
So... do I still need to choose?
On the details page of this sequence secret medicine, there was no mention of any sequelae. The whole page was very easy to understand, except for the last sentence...
The promotion sequence will be arranged randomly?
Chen Jing thought about this sentence carefully for a long time before he figured it out.
All the detailed information about the old descendants was basically asked by Chen Jing from the old man in private. Many of the contents that could not be seen or learned from books were also told to him by the old man himself.
For example, the so-called "promotion sequence".
In fact, this thing looks complicated, but it is just that after understanding it.
Old descendants.
Just like the characters in some online games.
Starting from the initial sequence at the beginning, each stage of growth will be "upgraded and transferred", and the benefit of this is that it can have an extra special ability.
Each level of sequence has an ability.
There will be no repetition.
There will be no more or less than one.
But one thing is very important...
No matter how you upgrade and change your job, the direction of sequence promotion will not change.
That is what the old man calls the "ultimate sequence", which is also the highest goal that every old descendant wants to pursue in his life.
As we all know.
In the other world, the old descendants are divided into eight levels.
From sequence 1 to sequence 8.
Each level of old descendants will have a unique "title" or "profession".
But the ultimate sequence does not refer to the highest level "sequence 8", but the promotion direction of the entire sequence, or the theme.
However, Chen Jing has not yet figured out how many directions there are for sequence promotion.
"My promotion direction is 'disaster', which is my ultimate sequence. The girl who fought with me that day... Xu Ye, do you still remember it?" A day ago, Chen Bofu was still popularizing knowledge about the old descendants to Chen Jing.
"I remember." Chen Jing nodded.
"Although she didn't say it explicitly, I can probably guess that her ultimate sequence should be related to 'order'..."
"Grandpa, different ultimate sequences have different promotion directions and different difficulties?"
"Nonsense, the strength of the ultimate sequence varies. The stronger it is, the harder it is to be promoted. Moreover, the later the sequence of the old descendants is, the more difficult the promotion conditions are. If someone can really reach the eighth level of sequence... then maybe they can be considered gods!"
When Chen Jing heard this, he couldn't help but be curious, so he asked the old man what level of sequence you are?
For example, Wei Nan is a sequence 3 old descendant. No matter how bad the old man is, it is impossible for him to be only one or two levels higher than her, right?
"Me?" Chen Bofu didn't seem to expect his grandson to ask this question. He scratched his head and was silent for a long time, and finally said, "It can be barely considered sequence 7."
Sequence 7.
At that moment, Chen Jing understood why the parliament attached so much importance to the old man.
If the old man was not joking before, sequence 8 is equivalent to god...then can it be said that this bad old man is only one step away from becoming a god?
Even if this step can never be taken in his lifetime.
But it is only one step away.
That's all.
"Finally I've waited for this day..."
Late at night, Chen Jing was in the bedroom, wrapped in a blanket, looking at the black pill in his palm, shaking with excitement.
For a veteran game fan like him, if he traveled through time without any superpowers, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
No hesitation, no hesitation.
Chen Jing swallowed the sour secret medicine in one gulp, smacked his lips twice, jumped out of bed and ran to get tea to rinse his mouth, swallowing it all into his stomach without wasting any.
"Why is the taste and color of this secret medicine a bit strange..."
Chen Jing lay on the bed and gently rubbed his stomach, and inexplicably a TV series he watched when he was a child emerged in his mind.
"Could this be something the examiner rubbed off his body..."
Chapter 37 Sequence 1: Lost Family
"This is really weird..."
Unlike the "transformation" that Chen Jing imagined, he did not feel any special reaction after taking the secret medicine. It was not like in the novels where the body excreted impurities and was reborn.
No reaction at all.
I even felt a little hungry.
"There's no reason for the examiner to lie to me..." Chen Jing stared at the wind chimes hanging by the window in a daze, and smacked his lips twice with a puzzled look on his face, "Could it be that I took the medicine in the wrong way... Is this thing divided into before and after meals... It doesn't say on the details page..."
