In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 102 Who says temporary workers can't translate scriptures?

In the mountains and forests, Xie Lingxin sat in front of a cave, roasting a wild wolf she had just hunted.

Everyone says wolf meat is hard to eat, but Xie Lingxin, who was starving, ate it ravenously.

The mountain god and his mountain dog army, which had just been subdued, were now lying on another wolf, frantically biting it from all sides.

It is said that this mountain god has not had any offerings for many years and has not been able to eat cooked food.

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we opened the training chat group.

Bai Ruhui: @Everyone, I have received a message that the coordinates of the domain have been exposed. The White Lotus Society has infiltrated the domain and will be besieging the Nine Mountain King tomorrow. The White Lotus Society is very likely to appear, which will greatly increase the risk of the training. Those who want to participate in the siege will bear the risks themselves. Please consider carefully and act according to your ability.

Bai Ruhui: @Everyone, because the risks of this trial have been greatly increased, the rewards will also be increased accordingly. Please check the file "Trial Rewards Details" for details.
Bai Ruhui: @Everyone, some classmates have already been harmed by the White Lotus Society. Please do not take it lightly. Training is important, but keeping your life is the most important thing.

I noticed that Teacher Bai sent several reminders in a row.

White Lotus Society?
Really haunted.

I don't know if these bastards are just bold or if they're really that awesome.

The entire cultivation community of Leizhou was almost entirely involved in the siege of Daheishan, yet they still dared to cause trouble at this time.

It seems that I was right to avoid it.

No matter how many benefits there are, nothing is more important than your life.

Moreover, even if you join in the fun, you might not necessarily gain as much as you would have.

Jade Jujube Cave, the Twin Swords Box, and this mountain god grandpa who doesn't seem very reliable...

Oh, and the jujube tree that's about to be acquired.

Satisfied.

Satisfied, Xie Lingxin clicked on the reward details sent by Bai Ruhui—

……

"Sigh~"

A lot of money!
The first thing Xie Lingxin saw was the first place prize of 500 million!
After doing so much and sacrificing so many rank, the compensation I received was only 600 million.

You get 500 million for winning first place!
This seems to be the lowest value reward.

The acceptance letter and offer letter were as expected. As mentioned from the beginning, being on the list meant you could basically choose from any large corporation in Leizhou.

However, when listed in detail, it is still quite impressive.

Xie Lingxin has recently lost some of her fascination with Seven Star Academy, and doesn't feel much about the name of the first-ranked academy.

But the names of those large corporations behind him were truly legendary to him.

It's likely that no one in Leizhou can afford to be indifferent to these things.

Only the top ten have the opportunity to work in these places, and apart from the top three who are directly hired, the rest are only given internship opportunities.

The reward for the Spirit Pearl has been reduced, which is understandable as a corresponding adjustment to increase other rewards.

What Xie didn't quite understand was the opportunity for supernatural powers to be implanted and the qualification for exemption from military service.

Supernatural powers implanted?
Can supernatural powers really be implanted?
He had heard Jin Su say before that supernatural powers are not something that can be obtained through cultivation; you either have them or you don't.

It comes from talent.

Some people can develop supernatural powers by practicing the same techniques, while others cannot.

Some people are even born with supernatural abilities.

Xie Lingxin glanced at the mountain dog army beside her, who was still frantically gnawing on a roasted wolf that had already turned into a skeleton, just like this guy.

They were born with the supernatural ability to manipulate epidemics.

But now it seems there's even such a thing as implanting supernatural powers?
There's also exemption from military service...

Xie Lingxin was even more puzzled.

I've lived in the Federation for so many years now, but because I don't have much contact with it, I don't know much about the cultivation world.

But I do understand about military service.

Although the federal government adopts a conscription system, in theory every adult has an obligation to serve in the military.

In reality, the Federation has no shortage of people, and the Federation army is mostly composed of intelligent mechanical forces, so it doesn't need so many soldiers.

Soldiers have long been elite.

High knowledge, high skills, and high quality.

Those with slightly lower grades shouldn't even think about it.

This has resulted in military service being a high-income, high-welfare, and highly recognized profession in the Union.

It can't be said that there are no risks at all, but with such high returns, too many people are rushing to do it.

You can't become one without certain conditions.

Therefore, mandatory military service is practically non-existent.

Joining the army has become almost the only possible path for ordinary people to reach the upper class.

Why is exemption from military service being treated as a reward here?
I glanced at the group chat where people were having a heated and excited discussion about the changes to the rewards.

In their eyes, the opportunity to implant supernatural powers is the most coveted of all these rewards.

Secondly, the exemption from military service is the most exciting part.

Only then did I receive job offers from major corporations.

As for the Spirit Pearls and Federal Currency, they are merely icing on the cake for these members of large clans.

"Conscripting...conscripting so many cultivators, who is the Federation fighting against?"

Xie Lingxin sat in front of the fire, lost in thought, the flickering flames casting shifting shadows on her face.

Some information can be inferred from their conversation.

This military service is for cultivators, not ordinary people.

Moreover, it's very dangerous.

Moreover, it is levied once a year.

Despite the excitement surrounding this reward, discussions in the group remained somewhat veiled, with people reluctant to delve deeper into the topic.

"Awooo! Awooo! Snap! Slurp~!"

Cultivators joining the army to fight? Master, if cultivators are to join the army, then it must be fighting against other cultivators!

Hearing his mutterings, the mountain dog Jun next to him howled a few times, then snapped a leg bone in half with a crack and frantically sucked out the marrow inside.

"Ok?"

Makes sense!
Xie Lingxin felt reminded and also realized the truth.

With the Federation's military strength and technology, what enemies could there be?
Even if they did, is the Federation's massive space fleet just for show?

Cultivators, unless they pass through all six or even twelve Heavenly Barriers and shed their mortal bodies, are no different from ants in the face of the Federation's technological power.

However, if the enemy is so strange that ordinary technology cannot work against them, then the role of cultivators becomes truly significant.

Just like this time when Tonggu Bay was polluted, the ghosts that appeared from time to time caused headaches for the Leizhou government, and the Environmental Protection Bureau had to step in.

The Federation is not without weapons to deal with ghosts and monsters, but most of them require cultivators to operate, and their effectiveness may not be much better than that of the cultivators themselves.

It would be better to just use cultivators.

Ok……

Before I got into spiritual practice, I often saw certain things online.

You embraced the legend, and the legend embraced you in return.

Many people also make mysterious statements online, saying things like, "This world is actually very dangerous."

It seems that not all of it was just showing off, but rather stating the facts.

And it was more serious than he had imagined.

Forget it.

Why should I think about these things?

These are things I don't need to worry about yet.

"Hey! Are you done eating? Are you starving?"

Xie Lingxin turned her head and saw that this guy had almost gnawed the entire wolf skeleton.

Without thinking, he kicked it in the buttocks.

"Awooo!"

Master, I'm so hungry!

With a loud yelp, it raised its plump buttocks high, adjusting its position to make it easier for Xie Lingxin to step on it.

"..."

this thing……

Putting everything else aside, he's certainly mastered this servile manner without any instruction.

"I'm going to sleep. You can eat all you want, but if anything bothers me, I'll roast you."

Taking it out of the pottery jar is to make it a sentry.

"Awooo!"

Master, rest assured, with me here, absolutely no demons or monsters will dare to approach!

Shan Jun patted his chest.

Xie Lingxin then went into the cave.

I found a comfortable spot and faced the sky with my five hearts out.

With a righteous mind and right thoughts, one can quickly visualize the sea of ​​consciousness, with the majestic source of the sea and the surging black water.

……

Leizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau Building.

"boom!"

In a conference room, Dai Yang, his large frame supported by his weight, slammed his fist on the table. "This is the sixth one! The sixth one!"

Half of the people sitting here are the heads of various key departments in Leizhou City, the real power holders in Leizhou.

Half of them are the heads of major groups and clans in Leizhou City.

It can be said that the people who truly control Leizhou are all here.

Dai Yang's small eyes swept over the people present, his usual smiling demeanor replaced by a hint of sternness:

"I don't want to investigate how the training list was leaked right now,"

"However, six people have already died because of the leak of this list!"

"How did they die? They were all found one by one and killed within the domain!"

"How were the domain coordinates leaked?"

"Don't think I don't know!"

"Old Dai, just talk, why are you slamming the table? What kind of talk is that?"

The speaker was a woman in her forties.

High brow bones and a high nose bridge make a strong impression and subtly reveal a tough personality.

After being swept over by her gaze, Dai Yang didn't dare to slam his hand on the table anymore.

Because this woman is Wang Yinglan, the mayor of Leizhou City.

Her name is very ordinary and delicate, but she herself is anything but delicate.

"Your suggestion to pause your training is impossible."

Wang Yinglan spoke directly, setting the tone.

"This domain trial, though called a trial, is actually to determine the ownership and allocation of spirit mineral mines. This is a resolution that everyone has agreed upon and cannot be changed."

"Otherwise, how will the spirit ore be allocated? Will you be willing to give it up? Or will he be willing to give it up?"

Wang Yinglan's gaze swept over everyone present, and those whose eyes she swept away avoided her gaze.

Finally, the question fell on Dai Yang: "Old Dai, if you want to stop, does that mean you're willing to give up the Environmental Protection Bureau's share?"

Dai Yang glared at him: "Dream on!"

Wang Yinglan sneered: "Then shut up."

"Besides the share of spirit minerals, the results of the training also determine the direction of military conscription for the next three years,"

"Ask yourself, who would willingly send their elite son to the battlefield like that?"

Dai Yang pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Seeing that the fat man had finally calmed down, Wang Yinglan stopped pressuring him.

Just as he was about to speak, Dai Yang opened his mouth again: "It's fine if we don't stop, but since the risk has increased, the reward must also increase!"

A hint of annoyance flashed in Wang Yinglan's eyes: "Hasn't it already been increased? The results have already been announced, and everyone is satisfied."

Dai Yang, his neck stiff and unseen, said, “That’s everyone, but the person who deserves the most reward hasn’t been rewarded!”

Wang Yinglan frowned: "The person who deserves the most reward? Who? You?"

"Ha ha……"

A man with slicked-back hair standing nearby chuckled, "Director Dai, are you referring to that young man who deciphered the ancient scripture?"

Dai Yang glanced at him sideways: "Not bad! You have a problem with that?"

The man with the slicked-back hair chuckled: "I wouldn't dare. If they truly are the ones who deciphered the ancient scripture, then increasing the reward is only fair, but..."

He deliberately left it unsaid, but everyone knew what he meant.

Dai Yang roared, "You surnamed Ye, what do you mean! What business is it of yours, a mere miner?!"

This man with the slicked-back hair is named Ye Ding. He is the head of the Far East Mining Group in Leizhou, and also its number one figure.

Ye Ding remained silent with a smile, as if he didn't want to argue with him.

Wang Yinglan laughed in exasperation: "Well, so you were playing hard to get with me, using retreat as a means of advancing."

Dai Yang, realizing his intentions had been seen through, stopped pretending: "Official Wang, I wasn't playing around. Isn't this what I should do?"

"How much benefit can a tenth-level domain expert possibly gain? In the end, the real contributor was only given such a small amount and sent away. Do you think that's fair?"

Wang Yinglan said, "Deciphering ancient scriptures is indeed a meritorious achievement, but there should be limits!"

"Don't you know how much we've sacrificed and invested in this realm?"

"We can't attribute all the efforts and sacrifices of so many people to him alone, can we?"

Dai Yang knew he was in the wrong, but he wouldn't let it go: "We can't just let it go like this."

Ye Ding, with his slicked-back hair, laughed and said, "If they are truly meritorious individuals who have deciphered the ancient scriptures, then it would not be unreasonable to increase their rewards accordingly, since the investment has increased."

"But the premise is that the reward must be given to the right person."

Dai Yang roared, "You surnamed Ye, what do you mean?!"

Ye Ding laughed and said, "I heard that the one who deciphered the ancient scripture was a young man under Director Dai? And he was just a 17-year-old temporary worker?"

“It’s not that I don’t trust Director Dai, but…”

Ye Ding looked around at everyone present: "Can you believe that a 17-year-old child could do such a thing? So many experts in Leizhou, including Professor Wen, who are also scholars of scriptures, have failed to decipher an ancient scripture, but he has deciphered it?"

"Ah……"

Many people present laughed.

"I'm telling you, Director Dai, you should know when to quit while you're ahead."

Someone couldn't help but offer advice.

The meaning is clear: they all regard this young man as someone with certain connections and backgrounds, and they want Dai Yang to spare no expense to promote him.

That was their initial thought, but they didn't say much when deciding on the reward.

After all, they deciphered the ancient scriptures. Even if it wasn't that child, it must be the Environmental Protection Bureau's achievement.

They can give the reward to whomever they want; it's no big deal.

But you can't keep going on and on, taking advantage of my kindness.

These kinds of things are best left unsaid; it's pointless to bring them up publicly.

As Dai Yang listened to the various comments from the crowd, some advising and some mocking, his chubby face contorted with anger.

"okay!"

Wang Yinglan gave a soft shout, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"Old Dai, don't go too far!"

"Official Wang, do you think so too?"

"Good good!"

"I'm going to make this clear today!"

Dai Yang was so angry he was practically fuming. Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, he took out his phone, made a call, and projected the message.

"Professor Wen! Come here! Tell these blind fools what you've got to say!"

"Who said temporary workers can't translate scriptures?!"

The person in the video is Wen Yifu.

After listening to Dai Yang angrily recount the events, he said seriously, "I've met that child; he is indeed very knowledgeable."

"Moreover, he is extremely knowledgeable about ancient classics and history, and in some aspects, I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him."

Dai Yang said smugly, "Listen to this! Listen to this! You may not believe me, but you should believe Professor Wen, right? Ye, what do you have to say for yourself!"

Ye Ding smiled and said to Wen Yifu's image, "Professor Wen, of course I won't disbelieve what you say."

"But... Professor Wen, I have a question that I don't understand. I wonder if you could enlighten me?"

Wen Yifu said, "I dare not offer advice, but please feel free to speak."

"I've heard that to become a scripture master, besides knowledge, one also needs profound spiritual cultivation, right?"

Wen Yifu nodded: "Of course."

Ye Ding said, "But I heard that the genius that Director Dai mentioned was just a temporary worker when he deciphered the ancient scripture. Even if what he said is true, he was only at the first level of the Mind Realm."

Is it really possible to decipher ancient scriptures that even you cannot translate?

Wen Yifu said, "Although it is unlikely in reality, it is theoretically possible. If one has an extremely thorough understanding of the contents of the ancient scriptures and can resonate deeply with the memory anchors within them, it is achievable."

"Theoretically?"

Ye Ding smiled and said nothing more.

Dai Yang then saw that the people present, who had just softened their stance because of Wen Yifu's words, had now reverted to their previous disbelief.

At this moment, Wen Yifu added, "Actually, besides deciphering the ancient scriptures, the fact that we were able to find the treasure left by our predecessors to deal with the Nine Mountain King is all thanks to that child."

"Although I did not witness the deciphering of the ancient scriptures, it was something I personally saw and experienced, and it cannot be faked."

He is an honest and upright person who speaks his mind.

Everyone present knew this, so no one doubted his words.

Wang Yinglan then softened her expression and said, "In that case, you should indeed be rewarded, but it's fine if it's an internal reward within your Environmental Protection Bureau. Why make a fuss about it here?"

Dai Yang protested, "Since his contribution benefits everyone, of course everyone should be rewarded!"

He knew very well that if it was an internal reward, the scope he could mobilize with his authority was far too small.

Wang Yinglan said helplessly, "Since he found the treasure left by the predecessors to deal with King Jiushan, then he should be rewarded. He is your subordinate, so it counts as a federal contribution, but the amount will be allocated by the Municipal Bureau. As long as it is within the scope of the system, you can decide how much to give him. Is that alright?"

Dai Yang was still not satisfied: "Not enough!"

"Snapped!"

Wang Yinglan slammed her hand on the table: "Dai Yang! Don't go too far!"

"Slap!" Dai Yang went all out and slapped back: "This is the reward for defeating King Jiushan, and there's also the translation of scriptures!"
