Chapter 139 Knife Nine

In the bedroom, the lights are bright.

Four boxes of different shapes were lined up in front of Shen Qian.

Shen Qian first took the treasure box of Wen Zhuangyuan sent by the Provincial Department of Education.

The box is made of wood, not particularly heavy, but the texture of the wood itself is excellent. Although I can't recognize it, the box should be made of some kind of precious wood.

There is a text engraved on the corner of the box, to the effect that in 2297 A.D., Shen Qian was admitted as the number one scholar in literature in the first province in the southwest, and a certain famous craftsman specially made this box to contain "wenbao" as a gift for the number one scholar.

Speaking of which, after the fun in the afternoon, Shen Qian finally had the opportunity to check his grades on the official website.

Chinese 147, Mathematics 150, Diplomatic Language 150, Liberal Arts Comprehensive 96, Science Comprehensive 100, Art Appreciation 98.

With a total of 750 points, Shen Qian scored 741 points.

No.2's "Second Place" came from Mingcheng, and scored 740 points in the test, only one point behind Shen Qian.

It can only be said that in some subjective subjects, Shen Qian performed better than he imagined, or he was more appetizing to the examiners.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Shen Qian opened the box in front of him.

The boxes are layered.

On the first floor is a metal certificate of merit, the style is a bit like an ancient Danshu iron coupon, on which are written the four characters of "Reputation of the Number One Scholar", and on the back are information such as Shen Qian's name and hometown.

Obviously, this first tier is just honor on paper.

Putting the certificate aside and pulling open the second layer, Shen Qian was so shaken that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

This is a set of four treasures of the study, but it is completely made of platinum!
And in some key parts, such as the pen holder or the bottom of the inkstone, there are also bean-sized gemstones inlaid.

Shen Qian sensed that it was either a spiritual stone for cultivation, or a very pure rare gemstone with good quality.

Should be worth a lot of money too.

This set of "No. [-] Scholar Calligraphy" is estimated to sell for how much, but unfortunately, with Shen Qian's current reputation, it is not appropriate to do this.

Then there was the last layer. Shen Qian opened it and was a little disappointed. The bottom one turned out to be a set of books.

It is the famous Four Books and Five Classics in Chinese history.

"Can this also be used as a champion reward?" Shen Qian muttered, picking up a copy of "The Book of Songs" casually, "Isn't this something everyone can buy...huh?"

Shen Qian turned a page but was stunned.

Because on the title page of the "Book of Songs", there is actually a thin piece of gold leaf mixed in.

Shen Qian flipped back quickly, then took a breath, and as he expected, there was a gold leaf on every page!

Shen Qian picked up "Book of Changes", "The Analects of Confucius", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and flipped through them one by one...

Boy, it's all gold leaf!
What is this?
Is there a house of gold in the book?
Shen Qian was also taken aback by this wave of coquettish operations by the Provincial Department of Education, even giving money so implicitly.

After the catastrophe, the financial order was rebuilt, and gold was still the hardest currency in circulation. Shen Qian didn't know what the current price of gold was, but these gold leaves were worth at least a few hundred W.

"After more than ten years of hard study, I was admitted to the No. [-] Scholar. It is not too much to reward several million."

Shen Qian thought about it for a while, and felt that this was reasonable.

If the money is placed in ordinary families, it is enough to raise the standard of living to the middle class.

I don't know if the third senior brother accepts gold...

Shen Qian put away the reward for Wen Zhuangyuan again, and then turned his gaze to the three boxes.

Although the three boxes are all made of metal, their materials are different, obviously from different departments.

Shen Qian first took the bronze box jointly sent by the Provincial Martial Arts Department and the Provincial Department of Education, and then opened it.

The box is still divided into three layers, and as expected, the first layer is also an iron certificate of Danshu, which is a certificate of honor as the provincial number one scholar.

The second layer is ten small porcelain vases.

Shen Qian picked it up and looked at it, but it was the most common and most commonly used "Rongyuan Pill".

In addition to being used when breaking through warriors, the Rongyuan Pill can also be used for daily practice to speed up the fusion of spiritual energy and vitality.

It's just that Shen Qian is assisted by ancient formulas, but there is almost no demand for this kind of elixir.

Shen Qian reckoned that this should be a standard reward for the provincial military champion.

There are two in each vase, twenty in total.

The market price of Rongyuan Dan is around 200, which is equivalent to [-] million here.

Then Shen Qian opened the third layer.

Compared with the Education Department, the Martial Arts Department is much more straightforward.

The third layer... is a bank card.

The password 123456 is written on the back, and the amount is also marked.

300 million.

Shen Qian closed his eyes and made the calculations. As far as the two boxes he opened so far, he seemed to have been directly promoted to a net worth of tens of millions.

I bought a car for my dad before, and Shen Qian had more than 200 million yuan in his bank card. He still wanted to become a multi-millionaire, but he didn't expect to achieve his goal so soon.

If the 2000 contribution points of the Hundred Kings Hall were directly exchanged for money, [-] million could also be exchanged, but Shen Qian obviously would not do that. It is estimated that none of the members of the Hundred Kings Hall would be really stupid enough to exchange points for money.

On the contrary, people often do things like exchanging money for points.

Shen Qian then looked at the second box.

It was a silver box bearing the coat of arms of the Ministry of Education.

Shen Qian opened the box, which was divided into upper and lower floors.

The first layer is another bank card.

"Is Minister Ma also so direct?"

Shen Qian was refreshed, cash is fine, it's the most trouble-free.

He picked it up and saw it was 500 million.

... Well, not as much as expected, but Shen Qian was also very content, he put away the bank card, and opened the second layer.

To Shen Qian's surprise, there was only a translucent metal card with a strange material on the second floor.

There is a big "Dui" character on it.

Shen Qian picked up the manual on the side and looked at it, and then suddenly understood.

This is an exchange voucher, which allows Shen Qian to exchange the same product with a price of less than 500 million at any official psionic chain store in the country.

Although the price is 500 million, it does not mean that the Ministry of Education sent out this exchange voucher at a cost of 500 million, but it is really a big gift.

This can be regarded as consideration for Shen Qian to enter university in the future.

In this conversion, it is equivalent to the Ministry of Education sending 1000 million to Shen Qian.

Then, Shen Qian turned his gaze to the last box.

This is a box sent by the Ministry of Martial Arts. It is made of an unknown black-gold metal.

Open the box, which is also divided into upper and lower layers.

The things on the upper layer look familiar, but they are ten simple blue tokens.

In the middle of the token is a word "Wu" inlaid with gold rims.

...Perform a military order?

Shen Qian was a little dumbfounded.

He never expected that the Ministry of Martial Arts gave him another order to perform martial arts.

And once you give it away, it's ten yuan.

It is equivalent to Shen Qian who now has 16 yuan to perform martial arts orders.

The one-year quota for this thing is only ten yuan for Jingcheng Hou, and Shen Qian seems to have become a "big performer of martial arts".

It's a pity that so far, I only know that the martial arts order is the ticket to the Vientiane Tower, but where is the Vientiane Tower, Shen Qian is confused again.

I can only hope that this token is really useful as the third and sixth brothers said.

Then Shen Qian opened the second layer of the black gold box, but it was not the bank card he was expecting, but another exchange voucher...

Yes, exactly the same voucher as the one sent by the Ministry of Education.

No... big brothers, didn't you discuss whether you would crash the car before giving the gift?
Shen Qian was powerless to complain, picked up the exchange coupon and looked at it, feeling a little depressed, because this exchange coupon from the Martial Arts Department can be exchanged for products worth less than ten million.

Barely...not a coincidence.

After collecting all the congratulatory gifts, Shen Qian finally made a summary with his fingers. Counting the book value, his personal wealth should have approached 3000 million.

One-third of the small goals have been completed.

Shen Qian sat down on the bed contentedly.

Speaking of which, he actually had another great achievement today.

That is the astral body!
According to the princes, that star is the Wuqu star recorded in ancient Chinese books.

And at this moment, if Shen Qian looks inside, he will find that there is a tiny star hovering in his mind. Of course, Shen Qian's current state of mental power is not yet able to look inside, which is what the princes told him .

Wuqu starlight penetrating the body will form a very small domain, and the miniature stars in the mind are the core of the domain.

As for the use of this field, according to the princes, it can speed up cultivation. As for the specific effect, Shen Qian will know when he absorbs the spiritual energy.

The tired Shen Qian had no thoughts of cultivation for the time being, and when he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, fireworks suddenly exploded outside the window.

Shen Qian sat up and opened the curtains, only to see that the night sky in Jingcheng had turned into a sea of ​​fireworks in just one minute.

All kinds of gorgeous fireworks are in full bloom in the sky, which is more lively than the New Year.

People in Jingcheng seem to be celebrating this special day in this way.

Suddenly, Shen Qian heard many people shouting his name.

……

The next morning, Shen Qian got up early.

The news about Shen Qian was still being broadcast on the TV, and Shen Qian, who was a little tired of listening to it, turned off the TV and ate breakfast quietly until the bedroom door was knocked.

"Three Senior Brothers!"

Shen Qian opened the door, and Shi Dingyan stood outside the door with a strange expression.

"A person who claims to be your guard has found Tongtian Tower, do you want to see him?"

Shi Dingyan said.

"Guard?"

Shen Qian was puzzled at first, then thought of something, could it be the guard from the Palace of Hundred Kings?
The past few days were so busy that Shen Qian almost forgot about it.

But if he remembered correctly, Wan Ning had said at that time that he would be able to see this guard when he returned to Jingcheng. It has been almost a week, why did he come now?

With this kind of doubt, Shen Qian saw the other party in the reception room on the first floor of Tongtian Tower.

As soon as they met, Shen Qian knew why Shi Dingyan, including Qian Weiyun, the school disciple who led the way, had strange expressions on their faces.

...This is the fucking guard of the mountains and seas?
If Shi Dingyan hadn't quietly affirmed his realm, Shen Qian would have turned around and left.

The man in front of him was dressed in ragged clothes and had long hair all over his body. The long hair that covered half of his face was also knotted. He looked like a tramp.

Beggars should be cleaner than him.

This person also seemed to realize that his image was not very good, he lowered his head slightly, and a little red appeared on his dark face.

Shi Dingyan didn't inquire about Shen Qian's secret, he indicated that he was just behind the door, and left the reception room with Qian Weiyun.

"Dao Jiu met Mr. Shen."

At this time, the "beggar" seemed to recognize Shen Qian who stayed alone, stood up and saluted slightly respectfully.

"What's your name?" Shen Qian was taken aback.

"Dao Jiu, Dao's Dao, Nine's Nine." Dao Jiu explained very seriously.

Why does Shanhai feel like a not-so-intelligent duck?
Shen Qian complained silently, considering the unpleasant smell on the other party's body, he finally took the other party back to the 99th floor, asked him to go to the guest room to take a shower, and then changed into clean clothes.

In the living room, Dao Jiu reappeared a lot cleaner. Although his skin was still dark, he could finally see clearly from the exposed facial features.

Looking at his face in his [-]s or [-]s, he had ordinary facial features, and his eyes were still bright, but when Shen Qian looked at him, he couldn't help scratching his head, and looked a little naive.

"My attendant at the Palace of Hundred Kings said that you should have arrived a week ago, why is it so late?"

Shen Qian poured a glass of water for the other party and asked curiously.

"I... lost my way." Dao Jiu lowered his head slightly ashamed.

"..."

Mountains and seas will also get lost?

Well, Shen Qian finally confirmed that it was not his own illusion, this Shan Hai is indeed not a very smart duck.

"I started from Liaocheng, and I made a few mistakes on the road. Later, I found the contact point of the Palace of Hundred Kings in Mingcheng, and they found someone to send me to Jingcheng." Dao Jiu briefly explained his tortuous journey.

"Liaocheng?" Shen Qian was speechless.

That is the capital of the third province in the Northeast, at least thousands of kilometers away from Jingcheng, and the meaning of Daojiu is obvious.

He... came over.

"Why don't you take the plane?" Shen Qian asked puzzled.

Dao Jiu faltered for a while, and finally said: "Air tickets... are too expensive."

Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, and his gaze towards Dao Jiu became strange again.

You are majestic, can't afford a plane ticket?
How is this messed up!
"If I remember correctly, the Ministry of Martial Arts has a starting subsidy of [-] yuan per month for the mountain and sea experts. Where's your money?"

It stands to reason that it is not polite to ask such a question, but Shen Qian really couldn't help his inner curiosity.

"It costs a lot to eat, and you have to keep a knife." Dao Jiu replied.

"Keeping a knife?" Shen Qian was taken aback.

"I have nine knives, and I have to keep them." Knife Jiu explained seriously, "It costs tens of thousands every month."

Saying that, Dao Jiu also opened his long backpack, revealing the long knives of different shapes in Lu.

Shen Qian didn't ask any more questions, but just sighed.

Even with these reasons, but relying on subsistence allowances alone, this knife nine is estimated to be an outlier in the mountains and seas.

Among other things, the annual income of those Shan Hai who are registered in the hospital is more than several million.

In the eyes of Shen Qian before, Liu Changqing was considered poor, but the opponent's combat power was comparable to mountains and seas, and he could spend 6000 million yuan to buy a space spar.

Not to mention that the bank card balance is 9000 million and the fixed assets are countless.

Compared with these people, Dao Jiu is really... appalling.

Seeing that Shen Qian was in a daze, Dao Jiu thought he was worried, and hurriedly explained something excitedly.

"I will work as a guard for Mr. Shen in the future, and the Palace of Hundred Kings will pay me 50 yuan a month, which is definitely enough for me to spend, and I can save a lot."

Shen Qian came to his senses, this is the ultimate reason why Dao Jiu is willing to be a guard for a year.

But if he remembered correctly, if he directly exchanged his contribution value for a mountain and sea guard in the Palace of Hundred Kings, it would be equivalent to 100 million a month.

Shen Qian was not sure whether the price of Dao Jiu was cheaper or he was cheated.

"Since we're going to get along for a year in the future, why don't you tell me about your past, after all, I don't know anything except your name." Shen Qian asked.

Dao Jiu scratched his head and began to talk about his own background.

Knife Nine was not called Knife Nine before, but he changed his name after he achieved Shanhai.

He was an orphan whose parents died in an unverifiable war. He grew up in an orphanage and then went to a public middle school.

Although his background is not very good, Dao Jiu's martial arts talent is unexpectedly good, which means he is born with supernatural power, and he was finally admitted to the Northeast United Wuhan University.

Daojiu, who has more resources in the university, has made rapid progress, and then he is attracted by a club and accepted as a member.

"Wait!" Shen Qian suddenly interrupted Dao Jiu, "What's the name of the club you said you joined?"

"Qianxing Society, what's the matter?" Dao Jiu was a little at a loss.

"Um...then what?"

"I got a lot of resources from the Thousand Stars Club. When I graduated, the Thousand Stars Club had an assessment. As long as I passed, I could get a chance to try."

Dao Jiu smacked his lips and recalled: "I passed that assessment, and they left a 'Tao' for me. After I broke through to the peak of a high warrior, I went to complete the trial and comprehended that 'Tao' Then it became mountains and seas."

It turns out that the Thousand Stars Club can help its members achieve mountains and seas?

No wonder it is called the cradle of mountains and seas.

Although it is just a combination of mountains and seas, mountains and seas are mountains and seas.

But Shen Qian still wondered: "Why don't you try to break through the mountains and seas by yourself?"

"It's too difficult." Dao Jiu looked ashamed, "I have tried for ten years without success, and I can't get enough to eat. In order to get subsidies, I can only follow other people's 'roads'."

...is really a simple reason.

"Then how did you enter the Palace of Hundred Kings?" Shen Qian asked the most critical question.

"I actually don't know what the Palace of Hundred Kings is." Dao Jiu scratched his head, "It's just that after I completed the trial and broke through the mountains and seas, a prince came to me and said that I was qualified to be a guard of the Palace of Hundred Kings, and promised a lot Benefit, and then I joined."

"But after joining, there was no movement. I have been waiting for more than a year, and I am still wondering. I finally received the notice a few days ago, and then I came to find you, Mr. Shen."

Thousand Stars Society, Hundred Kings Palace.

Could it be behind this...

Shen Qian seemed to have suddenly figured out an astonishing fact, his complexion became strange, and he remained silent for a long time.
