Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 7 God’s gift
"God-given talent is unpredictable."

Jiang Jian lay in bed and called up the ID screen. "Instead of worrying about it, it's better to spend time to improve your theoretical grades."

"Jiang Jian, you are right."

Ji Ming nodded, put the form away, and said, "I'm going downstairs to buy some food, and I'll read when I come back."

A few seconds later.

The dormitory returned to silence.

The translucent screen emitted a faint light, illuminating Jiang Jian's face.

beep.

A beep sounds.

An icon flashed in the corner of the screen, indicating a new communication.

Jiang Jian stared at the "black market" note in the communication, pondered for a moment, and pointed his finger at it.

A deep voice came out: "There is a big order, and the client specifically wants to see you."

Jiang Jian smiled and replied, "I won't accept any commissions for now."

Two seconds later.

The communication came, and the voice was full of confidence: "The client's reward is 200 Alliance Coins."

Jiang Jian stretched out his finger and stopped it in mid-air.

After a brief pause, he replied, "Sorry."

After replying, Jiang Jian directly deleted the communication.

His eyes subconsciously looked at the order record.

"Nickname: Master."

"Commissions received: 39."

"Completed commissions: 39."

"Percentage of favorable reviews: 100."

Jiang Jian stared at the record for a few seconds.

Or go to the "Logout" point.

A mechanical voice sounded: "Are you sure you want to cancel your order-taking account?"

Jiang Jian clicked OK.

beep.

beep.

Suddenly, two communications flashed in succession.

Jiang Jian swiped his finger and directly threw the communication sent by the "black market" into the spam folder.

"Seven years have passed."

"The story of the 'Master' of the Shadow Zone ends here."

Jiang Jian reached out his hand, touched the cold hilt of the wooden sword, and smiled to himself.

Bang.

The dormitory door opens.

"Jiang Jian, I bought you some food, come down and eat together."

Ji Ming carried a heavy lunch box with a smile on his face, "Spicy braised pork elbow with rice, braised pork with noodles, braised lamb chops, and tofu soup."

"Did you find the money?"

Jiang Jian sat up and raised his eyebrows, "These things will cost at least 10 Alliance Coins."

Ji Ming chuckled and said, "I'm going to review 'A Brief Analysis of Stars'. If there's anything I don't understand, I'd be grateful if you could explain it to me."

Jiang Jian said without pretense, "I've annotated these two books. They're now with my sister. I'll send you an electronic copy tomorrow. If you have any questions, ask me."

After saying that, Jiang Jian sent a message to his sister.

After getting out of bed and washing their hands, the two began to eat supper.

"Jiang Jian, where on earth did this Mirror Spirit go?"

Ji Ming took the sizzling braised lamb chops and stuffed them into his mouth while talking.

Jiang Jian picked up the tofu soup, took a sip, and smiled without saying a word.

There are fifteen days of holiday before the exam.

There are not many students who stay in school to prepare for the exam.

Ten consecutive days.

Jiang Jian and Ji Ming both travel back and forth between the dormitory and the library.

Perhaps there is enough airflow stored in the wooden sword.

Jiang Jian always carried it with him and he never got sick again.

On the sixth floor of the library. "It's a communication from Teacher Zhou."

A prompt sounded, Jiang Jian put down his textbook and turned on the identity device.

"Jiang Jian, where are you?"

"I applied for something great, come to my office!"

Zhou Yu's excited voice came out.

Jiang Jian was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Ji Ming and asked, "Teacher Zhou, Ji Ming and I are in the library. What's going on?"

Zhou Yu seemed to be fiddling with something and said, "Come over here, both of you. We'll talk in detail when we get to the office."

Communication hang up.

"Jiang Jian, it's good to follow you."

Ji Ming smiled teasingly, "Among the hundreds of candidates in our school this year, Teacher Zhou has a special liking for you. He always thinks of you when he has good things to offer."

Jiang Jian patted his shoulder, put away his textbook, and said, "Let's go."

The two left the library and walked towards Zhou Yu's office.

On the road.

Ji Ming couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What exactly is that good thing Teacher Zhou mentioned?"

"I don't know either," Jiang Jian shook his head, "but listening to Teacher Zhou, he seems very happy. This thing should be something special."

As they were talking, they had already arrived in front of the teaching building.

Jiang Jian looked up, swiped his ID, and continued, "I think it has something to do with the God-given test."

A mechanical voice sounded: "Verification successful."

The elevator opened and the two walked in.

Ji Mingshen agreed and said, "Teacher Zhou Yu prepared the course specifically for this exam and put in a lot of effort."

Jiang Jian said, "Whatever it is, we'll know when we get there."

In front of Zhou Yu's office.

Jiang Jian knocked on the door first and said, "Teacher Zhou, it's me."

next second.

A somewhat slovenly young man in slippers opened the door and smiled as he saw Jiang Jian: "Come in! Look at what I've got!"

Jiang Jian and Ji Ming walked into the room, looked up, and were immediately shocked.

A huge machine stood in front of him, surrounded by a transparent glass cover and flashing a dazzling blue light.

Zhou Yu said excitedly, "This is a simulation test machine. I specially requested it from Anhe Prefecture! There's only one in the entire Shadow Zone! Even in the Divine Illumination Zone, there are no more than ten!"

Ji Ming was shocked. He walked forward, stroked the smooth glass, and asked, "Teacher Zhou, I've only seen this thing in the literature. I didn't expect you to actually bring it here!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I tried my best and barely managed to apply for a week. I have to hand it in after the God-given exam."

Speaking of it.

He looked at Jiang Jian with hope in his eyes, "Jiang Jian, hurry up and try it, I've already debugged it!"

The huge machine emitted light and made a buzzing sound that was frightening to the ears.

Jiang Jian looked up and down, then looked at the answer screen and asked, "Teacher Zhou, what's the difference between this and doing a mock test?"

Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "For the theoretical exam, of course there's not much difference."

"Its most valuable aspect is its ability to simulate divinely bestowed results!"

At this point, Zhou Yu took out a control screen and swiped it continuously. "This machine contains the divinely bestowed data of Guangling City's candidates over the past ten years. The sample size is hundreds of thousands!"

"After you complete your random theory test."

"It will match you with the most likely divinely gifted data based on your answer results and answer speed!"

"Jiang Jian, you are my most satisfied student. I am not worried about your theoretical results."

Zhou Yu stepped forward and opened the glass door himself, his expression excited. "But no one can predict whether this thing is God's gift."

"You stay here today and simulate a few more times. I'll help you analyze the most likely divine gift!"

The words fell.

Zhou Yu glanced at Ji Ming and quickly added, "When you're not busy later, Ji Ming can try it too."

Ji Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Zhou, I'm not in a hurry."

Jiang Jian sat in the machine and the glass door slowly closed.

The surroundings suddenly fell into silence.

There was a blue light flashing above his head.

The originally transparent glass gradually became foggy, blocking the view.

A mechanical voice came: "The theoretical exam begins. Please answer the questions. The full score is 50 points."
