Volume 3 The Troubled Present Chapter 53 The Difference Between the Adventist and the Advent
"Intellectual?" Fang Qiuling was a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" β
Xiao Yue sighed loudly, and then said, "Brother Xiulik, what if...... I mean, what would have happened if I hadn't met Sister Xiao Xiao? The day I first came back from Elune. β
"Well, probably ......"
Before Fang Qiuling could give an answer, Xiao Yue said it first.
"Brother Thurric is probably secretly studying how to get to Elune again, right? Try to charge the Prism of the Door. If he succeeds, Brother Thulick will definitely go to Elune to 'play' again, right? β
Fang Qiuling thought for a moment, and then began to nod: "That's right, it should be like this." β
If you haven't stepped into the "inner world", forget it, a dull life. Once you step into the "inner world", you can't miss the excitement inside!
"Does Brother Thulick know how to charge the Prism of the Gate?"
"I don't know...... Actually, I still don't know much about it. No, I don't know about it. It's just going to work. β
The knowledge involving the Prism of the Gate is very profound, and even if you have mastered all the contents of that Enlightenment Scroll, you are only just getting started. Just getting started means that you can operate, and you can activate the prism of the door, and you don't know anything else.
"If you don't know, you have to try. It's hard to succeed in one attempt, and even if you succeed once, you still have to verify it several times. What if the successful one is lucky, a chance or something, right? Satsuki took out the tablet from her backpack and began to operate, "All attempts are based on having enough energy, you can only try if you have energy, and if you don't have energy, you can't do it at all." Is it easy to collect energy in this world? β
The energy that Satsuki is talking about here refers to any manifestation of the power of the "supreme source". It can be an aura, it can be a mana, it can be a fighting spirit, it can be a witch or a god.
"It's hard. The present world is a trough of the magic tide, and it is difficult to collect energy. β
The trough of the magic tide is also known as the era of the end of the law, and its most significant feature is the extreme lack of free "source" power in space, which is the end of the magic civilization. Fang Qiuling was no longer a novice in magic, he had some of his own experience in the occult field, so he knew very well how difficult it was to collect energy in the trough of the magic tide. The celebration of being able to beat gongs and drums with twice the result with half the effort is often to invest several times the energy, and the energy obtained is minimal, and it may even be impossible to make ends meet.
"I've considered the idea of converting electricity into Mana and have some initial ideas. Didn't try it though. β
Xiao Yue's eyes lit up: "Brother Schulick, this is the most cutting-edge research field!" β
"Then I'll try it when I have time. There are a lot of things to prepare, and ......"
Lily interjected next to her: "It's going to be a lot of money." β
ββ¦β¦ Right. β
Research has always been described as "burning funds", and the word "burning" is really a very accurate description. It is normal for scientific research to invest in hundreds of millions of dollars. The study of the occult has a strong personal color, which can be compensated for by the strength of the individual, but it is also a big problem in terms of funding.
"Brother Shulik, before you came to Penglai Media, did you have any money?"
Xiao Yue's question made Fang Qiuling's chest tighten.
- A 9-to-6 clerk, can he be rich?
"Brother Shulik, as I understand it, you don't seem to be rich."
"Satsuki, although it is a fact, it still sounds a little heart-wrenching, and I am offended to ......"
"Puff ......"
Lily couldn't help but laugh from the side.
"I'm sorry, Brother Thulick."
Satsuki bowed solemnly and apologized, but neither her actions nor her voice showed the slightest sincerity. This made Fang Qiuling cry and laugh suddenly.
"Alright, alright...... Does this have anything to do with having money or not? β
"Of course there is." Satsuki pointed to the raging flames burning in the morgue, "Most of the Arrivals are poor. Especially the 'wild' adventists, especially poor. β
"Wild, especially poor......"
This description made the corners of Fang Qiuling's mouth twitch.
"'Wild', what do you mean?"
Lily asked. Through the all-night language spell, Lily has learned Chinese almost, but by extension, it is still a little difficult for her to understand the words that refer to the stronger ones.
"Oh...... It's the kind of self-taught person who doesn't have a more systematic way of learning. That is, the kind that does it yourself, and becomes the one who comes before you know it. β
"yes, I see." Lily pointed to the man next to her, "What about him?" He's also 'wild'? β
"No, Brother Shulick didn't become an Adventist of his own accord. It was Sister Xiao Xiao who gave the gift of the will of the world, and after Brother Xiulik got it, he activated it and became an Adventist. β
"Well...... Lily's eyes rolled, "that means...... Is he 'domestic'? β
Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth began to curl: "It seems right, it's 'domestic'." β
"Hey! You two are almost, okay. It doesn't sound like a good thing to say. β
"Hey......
Xiao Yue smiled, and then continued: "If you want to do experiments and collect energy, you have to buy those basic materials, and you need money. Brother Shulick, who has no money, what should you do if you don't have any money? β
"What should I do?" Xiao Yue's question was strange, Fang Qiuling was a little inexplicable, "I don't have money to make money, go to work hard, work hard." What else can I do? β
"Brother Thurik, you are the 'Chosen One', the only one of a kind, how can you bend your waist for five buckets of rice?"
"So what else can I do? You don't have to steal or rob, do you? β
"That's right! That's it. Brother Thurik, haven't you thought about this? β
"Huh?" Fang Qiuling was a little confused, "Can it still be like this?" β
"Why can't that? They all already have superpowers, so what's wrong with using superpowers to get some benefits for yourself or something? β
Xiao Yue's voice at this moment sounded like a demon's whisper, as if it had inadvertently opened a new door for Fang Qiuling.
However, Fang Qiuling didn't think about it, and shook his head directly: "A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way!" β
"Really?" This sentence was relatively straightforward, and Lily understood it, so she immediately began to question, "Aren't all nobles and others very greedy for money, and they all like to bully others?" β
"They're them, I'm me, don't confuse that scum with me." Fang Qiuling showed a righteous and awe-inspiring look, "Lily, I'm not afraid to tell you directly." I can tell you the truth, and there's nothing to be ashamed of! β
"What's wrong?"
"Me!"
"Huh?"
"I don't have the guts!"
Lily's feet slipped and she nearly fell off the roof of the third floor. Xiao Yue laughed out loud.
"How easy is it to steal and rob? Now the streets are full of cameras, and they are spotted in minutes. And then wait for the police uncle to come up and arrest him? Those who do such things are either fools or idiots! How bad am I to steal and rob? Isn't it good to make money with serious labor? Is the takeaway not fragrant, or is the movie not good? Is it necessary to do this kind of death? β
A flurry of words left Lily speechless.
Few nobles in Elune would actually obey the law. To be precise, the law itself was made by the aristocracy, a tool used by the aristocracy to play with words. First of all, all of Elune's laws, even the Endless Code promulgated by the God of Justice and the Code of Order revered by the Guardian God, are inclined to the ruling class, that is, to the aristocracy. Subsequently, the nobles would issue edicts in their domains that would favor their own class. In the practice of laws and decrees, the nobles would misinterpret the relevant provisions and make interpretations and explanations in their favor.
When there is a conflict between the nobles and the commoners, even if the fault is entirely attributed to the nobles, it is the commoners who are ultimately punished and harmed. If the conflict is between the aristocracy and the aristocracy, then it is not the justice of the law that is observed, but the strength of both sides, simply put, whose fist is bigger, and this kind of disposition according to the letter of the law is very rare.
Fang Qiuling made it clear that he was a good citizen who did not steal, did not rob, and obeyed the law, and nobles with this kind of cognition were definitely rare in Elune, which had to surprise Lily very much.
"So Brother Thurik is a rational person," Satsuki nodded repeatedly, "Brother Thurik is a good person. β
"Xiaoyue, if you are familiar, you don't have to send me a good person card."
"Puff ......"
Satsuki couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
"'Good guy card', what does this mean?"
"It's literal, it means to say I'm a good person."
"Liar!" Lily looked at Satsuki's smile and immediately expressed disbelief, "You like to use the word 'pun intended' when you speak, and often the meaning is completely opposite at this time. So the 'good guy card' must mean that you are a bad person! β
Fang Qiuling rolled his eyes: "Okay, I'm a bad person, I'm a big bad person." You're satisfied. β
"Humph!"
Lily also unceremoniously replied with a roll of the eye.
"Brother Thurik, that's why we don't like the 'wild' Advent, you know? They are so good at causing trouble, they are afraid of the sky and the earth all day long, saying all day long, 'the sky will not let me, I will take it for myself', so that the earth revolves around him. Without him, the earth would not turn. β
Speaking of the "wild" advent, Satsuki was angry.
"Brother Thurik, you don't know. Before you, in March of last year, there was also a guy who became an Adventist, a post-apocalyptic Advent. That guy treats Weiyang Palace as if it was opened by his family, and he has all kinds of requirements every day, not only to eat well, but also to use well, and he will be furious if he is a little unsatisfied. In the end, he was beaten up by Sister Langyu to be a little more honest. β
Fang Qiuling shrugged his shoulders in understanding.
"It's normal, it's not strange. There are always guys with excess self-awareness. β
The passer-by at the bottom of the originally ordinary society suddenly one day the crow flew up to the branch and turned into a phoenix. Not only is he in power, but he also has the power that ordinary people don't have, and he is surrounded by compliments and flattery, which is normal in this situation. It is not surprising that they have not been able to maintain their own hearts, and that they are arrogant and self-centered.
Qin Langyu, Qin Researcher, she actually has the strength to teach the Advent. This additional news surprised Fang Qiuling slightly. In the past, Xiao Hanyun said that Qin Rongyu was an old witch for thousands of years, but Fang Qiuling thought it was just a joke. Qin Rongyu looks about the same age as Xiao Hanyun in appearance, and the two of them may be best friends. But now it seems that ...... phrase "thousands of years old witch" is not a joke, but a fact!
Fang Qiuling decided to be more honest and sincere when he saw Qin Rongyu in the future. If Qin Rongyu can beat that advent person, he will definitely be able to beat himself, and it is always right to be respectful.
"Oh, yes, Brother Thurik. That guy also has a crush on Sister Xiao Xiao. β
"What!"
Xiao Yue's sudden "complaint" made Fang Qiuling's heart tighten.
"But Sister Xiao Xiao doesn't like him."
"Hoo ......"
- It's okay, it's okay.
"This guy is a tech savvy, and he bullies people with equipment. So if you have the opportunity to meet this guy, Brother Shulick, teach him a hard lesson, and beat him hard! He won't be able to beat you. He really hates him, Sister Xiao Xiao hates him very much, and we hate him too! β
"Good! No problem! β
Fang Qiuling agreed with a mouthful. This kind of thing to teach the "love enemy" must be done even if Satsuki doesn't tell it!
"Oh, yes!"
Suddenly, another "yes" popped up, which made Fang Qiuling's heart tense again.
"Brother Thulik, remember to find Ono for a new contract when you go back."
"A new contract? What contract? β
"It's a new contract from Penglai Media. Brother Thulick is not a newcomer when he first joined. After two crossings, Brother Thurik is already a veteran Adventist. The salaries of the senior adventists will be raised, and the benefits will also be raised. Also, Brother Thulick is still a star, and there must be a share of the movie. β
ββPromotion and salary increase, a good thing!
ββ¦β¦ Can you tell me about it, how many are there? β
For Ah Duwu, Fang Qiuling is still full of fancies. He currently has a big funding gap and is very short of money. That's buying a house!
Housing prices in the magic capital are high every day. A house of about 100 square meters in the urban area generally exceeds 7 million, which is 70,000 yuan per square meter.
Before joining Penglai Media, Fang Qiuling didn't think about buying a house - he couldn't afford to buy a house if he sold him directly. After joining Penglai Media, you can think about buying a house a little. The income for one day is three thousand, and if one can have this income every day for three hundred and sixty-five days of the year, it will be one hundred and ninety-five thousand for a year. Six to seven years to make up the money for this house, this can be had! Now that you have a promotion and a raise, the time of six to seven years can be further shortened!
"I don't know, this is all Ono's doing. There should be quite a few more. Satsuki blinked, "Brother Shulick and lack of money?" β
"Yes, it's lacking. I want to buy a house. β
"Oh...... Brother Nashulik can bring back some of Elune's specialties. Magic metals, magic herbs, potions and the like, these things can be exchanged for money directly in Weiyang Palace. The price should be pretty good. β
