Chapter 69 Becoming a Night Watchman
After hearing Zhang Quan's words, Gu Ming's eyes returned to clarity, and the sword intent in the room receded like the tide.
Zhang Quan looked around, still feeling frightened. The walls of his office were all coated with special alloys. Not to mention swords, even bombardments with sniper rifles could not penetrate them. But now the walls were mottled and full of sword marks.
Zhang Quan asked himself that with the strength Gu Ming had just shown, he was not sure that he could defeat Gu Ming without killing him. Moreover, even if he won, it would be a miserable victory and he would have to pay the price of at least half his life.
This speculation is what shocks Zhang Quan the most. He has reached the extraordinary level, while Gu Ming's realm is clearly the peak of the ninth level of the Divine Sea Realm. Although he is only one step away from the extraordinary level, he has not taken that step yet.
Only those who have truly mastered the extraordinary power can understand the huge gap between the extraordinary and the peak of the Divine Sea. It can be said that Gu Ming was able to push him to this step with the realm of the Divine Sea, which can be said to be shocking.
And Zhang Quan finally understood why his teacher chose Gu Ming as the core figure of the Dawn Project. Compared to others, Zhang Quan knew better that it had only been a year since Gu Ming started practicing.
"Cough...cough..." Zhang Quan put his right hand on his chin, and quietly put his left hand behind him, rubbing his painful back. Where his back contacted the wall, a groove was visible to the naked eye.
"Sit down." Zhang Quan said with a smile to Gu Ming. Perhaps it was because he was too thin, so no matter which angle you looked at him, he was smiling. He was clearly showing goodwill, but it made Gu Ming feel Eerie and terrifying.
"Your strength is so-so, but you were able to force me to use my five-success power, which is really rare among the younger generation." Zhang Quan said, lowering his head to sort out the messy documents on the table, just in time to prevent Gu Ming from letting go. See the guilty look in his eyes.
Gu Ming was also panting heavily. Under the huge pressure, he activated Fudou Mingwang and Jiuxiao Sword Intent at the same time, which consumed a lot of energy.
He responded hastily, and although he exploded with all his strength, he failed to do his best in the end. If it was a prepared battle, he could be stronger, but the overall estimate is that the power he just exploded can reach 70% of its peak. But the other party said that he only used 50% of his strength.
"The gap between me and Chaofan is really huge." Gu Ming thought to himself. Fortunately, Liang Shangjun bound himself to Beidou. Otherwise, if he was taken care of by such a strong man, he might not be able to sleep well.
"Thank you, Minister Zhang, for showing mercy." After Gu Ming finished speaking, he sat down opposite Zhang Quan and took a look at the office that was badly damaged by him, feeling a little nervous.
I won't have my salary deducted again, but then I thought about it. It was Zhang Quan who took action first. He was just acting in legitimate defense. At most, it could be considered an over-defense. The Tianxuan Department is one of the most mysterious departments in Beidou and enjoys the top resources. You probably won't care about this detail.
After sitting down, Gu Ming found that Zhang Quan had been looking directly at him. His eyes were a bit like a senior brother examining his junior brother, which made him feel a little scared.
However, Gu Ming's mentality is very stable. When dealing with strangers, he always adheres to the principle of not taking the initiative. If you don't move, I won't move. If you don't speak, I will let go.
Then a strange scene appeared, Zhang Quan stared at Gu Ming, and Gu Ming seemed to be more interested in the wood grain of the table.
Zhang Quan said: "Don't you have any questions to ask me?"
"Yes." Gu Ming raised his head, took out the Tianxuan nameplate from his arms, and said, "First question, what's going on with this nameplate?"
"The teacher is right, he is a slut." Zhang Quan muttered in his heart and said, "Didn't Jiang Siyi tell you? This sign symbolizes Tianxuan's identity."
"Ke's position is the archivist of the Ministry of Heavenly Rights."
"There is no conflict. Our Tianxuan tribe lurks in all walks of life. It is not surprising to have any identity."
"I heard that Ning Yu and Song Xinghe were once members of the Tianxuan tribe, but they were corrupted members of the Black Alliance."
Zhang Quan raised his eyebrows. This Gu Ming really didn't care about anything. Because of those two traitors, Zhang Quan had been busy a while ago and was even almost dismissed from his post due to poor performance of his duties. They were simply the worst in his career. It was a stain. Now no one in the entire branch, not even Xu Yuanhong, dared to mention the names of these two people in front of him.
He resisted the urge to slap Gu Ming to death and said, "Sometimes, in order to catch the big fish in the long term, we have to adopt some expedient measures."
Perhaps because he did not want Gu Ming to continue on this topic, Zhang Quan immediately said: "Gu Ming, on behalf of the Tianxuan Department, I now formally invite you to join and become a member of the Tianxuan Night Watch. Normally, your identity is still the Tianquan Department. Archivist."
"Then what's the benefit for me?" Gu Ming asked, "Can I get double salary?"
Zhang Quan's head ached. Why was it so difficult to communicate with this kid? The little affection he had for Gu Ming was gone in an instant. Can such a strange brain circuit really be put to great use?
"Of course you can't get double wages." Zhang Quan said, "This level of status can only give you responsibility, responsibility, and dedication. You will become a hero who protects the human race and China in the dark."
"Forget it then, just take the sign back." Gu Ming lost interest before he even heard what Zhang Quan said, because from what he heard, this matter was full of dangers.
Zhang Quan's speech at this time was like a boss having a heart-to-heart talk with his employees. He wanted you to work overtime but didn't want to pay overtime, so he talked to you about his ideals in life, how working part-time is not for the company, but to improve yourself, etc. .
Gu Ming asked himself that he was a person who never forgot his original intention, but his original intention was not to seek merit, but to protect himself.
Zhang Quan looked at the sign that Gu Ming pushed over. This Tianxuan nameplate was a symbol of glory in the eyes of others, but why did he discard it like a worn-out shoe? Does he still have any vision or faith?
He wanted to curse, but Zhang Quan thought of the teacher's instructions. He had to make Gu Ming recognize the identity of Tianxuan Night Watchman anyway, so that he could legitimately become the executor of the Dawn Plan.
"It seems that the teacher still sees it clearly. Gu Ming is a guy who will not do anything without profit." Zhang Quan had no choice but to change his words and said, "Don't rush to refuse. What I said just now is all about the theoretical level. Now I will tell you about the practical level."
After listening to it, Gu Ming really leaned forward and was interested at a glance.
Zhang Quan said: "No one will check your attendance in the future."
"Actually, I have a good sense of time."
"No matter what you do in the future, the Yuheng Department will not bother you."
"Jia Yi is not my opponent either. Besides, I want to abide by all the rules and regulations. A person with a clear conscience is not afraid of his own shadow."
Zhang Quan suppressed his anger and thought about how to persuade this foolish boy who didn't know the current situation. At this time, he remembered that the teacher seemed to have told him on the phone that he could easily persuade Gu Ming as long as he offered that condition.
So, Zhang Quan used his trump card and said: "Although the work of the Tianxuan Department is dangerous to a certain extent, it is also the department that accumulates merits the fastest. By becoming the Tianxuan Night Watchman, you can accumulate merits in the shortest time to exchange for watching the Xiantian Visualization Map."
"Then why don't I try it."
Sure enough, as soon as this was said, Gu Ming immediately changed his words, which made Zhang Quan feel like he was being tricked, as if Gu Ming was waiting for him to say this.
Gu Ming then said, "But Minister Zhang, I have to say this beforehand. As you have just seen, my strength is limited, and the work at the Tianquan Department is also quite heavy, so if there is a mission with a high risk factor, I may not be able to do it."
"Okay, I will consider it comprehensively. Don't worry, Tianxuan is the most protective and will not joke with the lives of its own people." Zhang Quan thought to himself, forget about anything else, just fool you in first, once you get on the pirate ship, you can't just say it off.
Gu Ming then put away the nameplate, thinking that Zhang Quan, as the Minister of Tianxuan, should be a man of his word. In fact, the main reason why he agreed was Wei Dafa.
Gu Ming concluded that all this was the path arranged for him by Wei Dafa, and his reserve just now was just to maximize his benefits.
"Congratulations, you have officially become the Night Watchman of Tianxuan."
"You're welcome." Gu Ming said calmly, "Minister, I have another question, what exactly is entropy change?"
