Chapter 596 Zhao Ji: Do you want to obtain the status of a god? (7k monthly ticket request)
"Opportunity?"

Qiu Tu keenly caught these two words. He blinked his eyes, looked at Zhao Ji, and then smiled and asked tentatively, "Sister Zhao Ji, what opportunity is it?"

During this period, Zhao Ji had a certain understanding of Qiu Tu's character.

This man looks a bit careless, but in fact he is very ambitious and has a strong gambling habit.

This can be seen from the fact that he could obviously develop his business with peace of mind, but he chose to walk the tightrope time and again, trying to gain big returns with small investments.

It's just that I have to say that this man does seem to have some magical qualities. He always seems to be able to create miracles and turn crises into opportunities.

Just like the "Shelter 6 Incident" this time.

At the beginning of the incident, Qiu Tu was clearly just a small speaker. He didn't even have the qualifications to directly receive Princess Xi.

After all, he was not even a senior member of the shelter at that time. In the eyes of the various forces and leaders of the three major shelters, he was just an ant that could not be any smaller.

In the end, Qiu Tu used Lazhiluo, himself, and the Tang family to walk on a tightrope, gamble wildly, and swallow an elephant with a snake:
He first swallowed up the two states of Heaven and Earth, thus qualifying himself to enter the game;
Then he got hold of Pang Haichen's weakness, joined the game, won the support of Shelter One and Two, and swallowed up Pang Haichen alone, thereby becoming the leader of the shelter and becoming a local tyrant;
Afterwards, now that he had the capital, he pretended to cooperate with Princess Xi, but in fact he was secretly colluding with the Kou family and hedging his bets.

After gaining the support of both Princess Xi and the Kou family, he directly used the advantages he had accumulated before to forcibly swallow up the 6th and 7th shelters.

In just two or three months, the little snake Qiu Tu had grown into a giant python and even grew horns, ready to transform into a dragon.

If someone had told Zhao Ji a few months ago that Qiu Tu had the potential to achieve what he has today and become the King of the Northwest, she would definitely not have believed it at all.

After all, there shouldn't be anyone as awesome as her in this world.

As a result, now, she not only witnessed it with her own eyes, but was even guided by Qiu Tu, and played an important role in it, either actively or passively.

It was because of this series of events that she had a more intuitive understanding of Qiu Tu's character.

This is a "gambler", and a crazy gambler at that.

As long as he has a 1% chance of winning, he might take the gamble.

The only difference between him and ordinary gamblers is that his "gamble" is not a direct bet, but he uses the entire situation as a chessboard to analyze the interests of all parties.

Then he would find ways to push things forward, accumulate advantages and gain victory, and gradually increase his "10%" chance of winning to 30%, 50%, and even 90%.

Such means and schemes were indeed something Zhao Ji had never seen before.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but think of that opportunity, or test (Chapters 524 and 594)
She was determined to get that opportunity, because it was related to all her plans in this life.

But it must be said that because of her miscalculation of something, she lost a lot of time. She has not yet completed the plan she had expected.

This adds a lot of variables to the outcome of this opportunity.

'Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to get that guy involved?'

'Who knows what unexpected effects might come out?'

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji's cold eyes could not help but show a hint of deep thought.
After thinking silently for two seconds, she made a rough decision in her mind.
"However, in this case, we need to find a way to get him to the "core area" in advance."

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji gradually made a plan in her mind.

She raised her eyes to look at Qiu Tu, and then said coldly, "There is an opportunity. But it is not something you can interfere with with your strength."

Sure enough, when he heard that there was an opportunity, and it was obviously a big opportunity, Qiu Tu's eyes suddenly lit up.

In front of outsiders, Qiu Tu is the head of the shelter, the second person in charge; behind the scenes, Qiu Tu is a giant who has the decision-making power of the two shelters! However, in front of Zhao Ji, he is just a flatterer.

So, after hearing what Zhao Ji said, Qiu Tu hurriedly approached her with a shameless face, sat next to her, leaned in close, and flattered her, "Sister Zhao Ji, compared to you, I am definitely not as strong as you."

"But how many of you are there in this world!?"

"No! There is no one in this world who can compare to you. So, in front of others, I am also considered an expert."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Every heavenly soldier and general was a peerless master in their own world before they ascended to the immortal world and met the Monkey King."

Qiu Tu:
Qiu Tu felt that Zhao Ji’s curse was a bit dirty.

But it wasn't over yet. After Zhao Ji "ridiculed" Qiu Tu, she glanced at him calmly, then closed her eyes and said expressionlessly,
"So, don't think that level 6 is very strong."

"Level 6 is just the threshold to enter that test."

"But in that test, any random person you pick out could be an insurmountable gap for level 6."

Zhaoji's words have always been a little unpleasant to the ears, but today they were particularly unpleasant. If you were to meet someone with a bad temper and a bad mentality, they would have probably exploded under Zhaoji's continuous blows.

But Qiu Tu had been able to endure hardships for so long in his previous life, so what did this little fight mean? As long as Zhao Ji didn't spit in his face, he didn't care at all.

So. He even smiled and replied, "It's okay, it's okay. I can't do it, but I still have Sister Zhaoji. Can you?"

"Given our relationship, if I really went, you wouldn't be willing to leave me alone."

Zhao Ji glanced at Qiu Tu coldly, with no expression on her face - just like every time Qiu Tu climbed up the pole.

But when she turned her face away, the corners of her mouth tilted up 1 millimeter imperceptibly.
'Hooked'

However, the next second, her expression immediately changed. Then, as if she was defeated by Qiu Tu's "shamelessness", she uttered four words with a cold expression,
"The person of a god."

"God status?" Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What is this?"

Zhao Ji said calmly, "After you were promoted to level 6, you should have discovered the true nature of the Cataclysm, right?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu asked hesitantly, "To take charge of the world on behalf of the 'World Will'?"

Zhao Ji said "hmm" and nodded slightly, "Yes."

"To a certain extent, we, the Cataclysm, exercise power on behalf of this world. We are all officials of this world."

"Let's not talk about the 1-5th level Cataclysm. They are all low-level 'officials' or in the probationary stage."

"Only when you reach level six or above can you be considered to have been truly authorized by the 'World Will' and become an official."

"According to the research on the 'core area', a sixth-order catastrophic creature can be considered a 'fourth-order god', controlling and managing its own nine areas, which means it can influence almost an entire state."

"Within the scope of this state, He is the ruler of an independent kingdom, He can call the wind and rain, and He is omnipotent."

"As for the seventh rank, it can be considered a "third-class god", controlling about 81 areas, the land of Kyushu. In total, it should be about the same as a country, that is, a shelter."

"They can do anything in their own kingdom. Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all God's grace."

"The eighth level is of course equivalent to a "second-class god". At this level, it is no longer just about controlling a country."

"They will control an entire huge area. For example, the northwest region, the southwest region, their divine power will radiate to 4-6 countries, affecting hundreds of millions of lives."

"In fact, up to this point, these catastrophic creatures are still within the domain of the Earth Gods. They can only affect the territories they control."

"But once you reach the ninth level, that is, the first-class god, everything will be completely different."

"The influence of a first-class deity will no longer be limited to territory, but will reach the heavens, and they will truly have the authority to manage a certain area on behalf of the world."

"So, if you want to advance to the ninth level, you must obtain the "Godhood". "

"And the test I just mentioned can earn you the "Godhood", which is also the greatest opportunity in the "Core Area."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu was shocked.

Level 7, Level 8, Level 9.
Before, he didn’t quite understand why Zhao Ji said: In that test, any person picked up at random could be a gap that he could not cross.

Now he understood.
To be promoted to the ninth level, one must obtain the "Godhood". Who can be promoted to the ninth level?
Aren't they all those terrifying masters at level 8 or even at the peak of level 8, or the reincarnation of gods like Zhao Ji? !

And for someone like himself who has just entered the 6th level and hasn't even touched the threshold of the 7th level, little Karami will most likely be a cannon fodder after going there.

Judging from the strength shown in the last duel between the Nine-Headed Lion and Zhao Ji, it would probably only take one move for a quasi-level 7 to kill Qiu Tu.

Not to mention level 8, or level 8 peak.

However, thinking of this, Qiu Tu did not dispel his curiosity about this opportunity.

He took a deep look at Zhao Ji, who was meditating with her eyes closed, trying to figure out the meaning behind her words.
Based on his understanding of Zhao Ji, although this woman is wild, arrogant, and likes to show off, she never does anything without confidence.

Although she was the reincarnation of a god and could kill a quasi-level 7 with one move, Qiu Tu felt that her current true strength was 100% not at the peak of level 8.

It is very likely that he is only at the peak of level 7, or close to level 8.

With such strength, he would be a dominant force in the "peripheral area" and a master in the "core area". But in that opportunity, he was not considered strong.

So, this test is not just a simple fight or struggle?
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu's mind moved slightly. He turned his eyes, then looked at Zhao Ji with a smile and asked tentatively,
"Sister Zhao Ji, is this opportunity obtained through force? How many places are there in total?"

Zhao Ji heard this, but did not answer Qiu Tu directly. Instead, she opened her eyes, looked at Qiu Tu with cold eyes, and said, "Why? I said so much, but you are still interested?"

There was really nothing to hide about this, so Qiu Tu nodded and said, "A little interested. But not much."

“I just want to understand.”

After hearing Qiu Tu's words, Zhao Ji did not answer Qiu Tu's question.

She stretched out her slender hand and gently touched the back of Qiu Tu's right hand.

The next second, Qiu Tu couldn't help but let out a hiss, feeling as if he was burned by a branding iron, and he shrank back reflexively.

Zhao Ji didn't care. After she pointed at Qiu Tu, she slowly said, "The form of the test is not fixed. It's different every time."

"As for how many 'godly positions' there are, it's not certain. It depends on chance."

“If you are interested, you can go to the ‘core area’ in a month and a half to participate.”

"As long as you come to the 'core area', you can use this 'God's Seal' to sense my location and find me."

"When the time comes, if things are right, I can take you to see the world."

"But I can't guarantee how much we can gain."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu blinked.

One and a half months? This time is a bit tight.

You know, now that the 6th and 7th shelters are being initially planned, this is the time when stability is needed.

If he were to take part in this test, many of his plans would have to be arranged in advance, and there would likely be more twists and turns.

And for some reason, although Zhao Ji acted as if everything was normal, Qiu Tu just felt that this matter was a little weird.

He racked his brain, trying to figure out what was so strange about this matter.

But at this moment, Zhao Ji seemed to have seen through his thoughts and suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"By the way. How is the sword technique 'Kai Tian' that I taught you some time ago going?"

Perhaps Zhao Ji's topic was too jumpy, Qiu Tu was stunned for a second, then he came to his senses and continued, "I'm still learning."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji glanced at Qiu Tu with her amber eyes, then took out another jade token, put it on her forehead, left it there for two seconds, and then handed it to Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu took the jade pendant in confusion, then looked at Zhao Ji with some puzzlement.

Zhao Ji said coldly, "This is a pupil technique."

Qiu Tu had seen Zhao Ji's pupil technique before. Whoever she glared at would die! So his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Is that the one you cast?"

Zhao Ji:.
Zhao Ji gave Qiu Tu a cold look and said, "It's not night yet."

Qiu Tu quickly responded, "The days and nights in the boundless sea of ​​mind and the real world are reversed, there is always night. So, you can actually dream 24 hours a day."

Zhao Ji:.
Zhao Ji was too lazy to talk to Qiu Tu, so she said, "This pupil technique is something I created myself. It has the effect of folding space and crushing matter."

"It's not difficult, but it's powerful."

"Although you are not a "destruction" path, after using it skillfully, you will be able to protect yourself in the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area."

"Then you can avoid danger on your way to find me."

Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Qiu Tu blinked, and then thanked her sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Zhao Ji."

Zhao Ji said "hmm" lightly, then closed her eyes and continued to practice.

She wasn't really nice to Qiu Tu.

If you just want Qiu Tu to participate in that test, you need to let Qiu Tu have the ability to survive independently in the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area".

The "Kai Tian" sword style that she taught Qiu Tu before was actually a top-level sword move.

Once he learns it, Qiu Tu's combat effectiveness will increase dramatically.

Although he couldn't kill an enemy by leaping levels or even two levels like her, with the strength of an early sixth level, it would be no problem for him to kill a peak sixth level enemy.

However, from Qiu Tu's few words, she clearly found that Qiu Tu had not learned it.

——After all, the jade pendant she gave Qiu Tu can only be used once. If you learn it, you learn it. If you don't learn it, you don't learn it. What does "still learning" mean?
This was clearly something Qiu Tu said casually to "save face".

Therefore, she could only settle for the next best thing and give Qiu Tu a new secret technique to help him protect himself.
But to be honest, after knowing that Qiu Tu had not learned "Open the Sky", Zhao Ji was actually a little disappointed.

After all, Qiu Tu's rapid progress and heroic deeds during this period have repeatedly raised Zhao Ji's evaluation of him, making Zhao Ji think that Qiu Tu is a demon second only to her.

As a result, he didn't expect that a top-level swordsmanship would stump him.

"Sure enough. There are still too few geniuses like me in this world."

At this time, Qiu Tu had no idea what Zhao Ji was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely cry out that it was unfair.

Because he really didn't lie to Zhao Ji. He was indeed "learning".

The reason is simple, Qiu Tu has witnessed the power of "Kai Tian".

Therefore, after obtaining the "Kai Tian" sword technique, he thought very seriously about how to deal with this sword technique.

Because the jade pendant could only be used once, Qiu Tu faced two choices: use it himself, or rely on his own understanding to see if he could learn it.

The other option, of course, is to cheat.

Don’t forget, some time ago, Qiu Tu got his third golden finger "for nothing".

This golden finger will automatically hang up to complete the task assigned by Qiu Tu, just like summoning a transparent clone of Qiu Tu to work hard to complete the task.

Through subsequent tests, Qiu Tu discovered that the effect of "getting something for nothing" was far more than that.

Its learning and training abilities seem to be almost at Qiu Tu's peak state, and its learning and training effects are much stronger than Qiu Tu's normal times.

In addition, it has a "progress bar" on it, which allows Qiu Tu to accurately know the remaining progress.

So Qiu Tu chose to cheat without any hesitation.

As a result, who knows, something magical happened.

After setting up to learn the sword art of "Kai Tian" and preparing the jade pendant, "Unearned Gain" indeed shattered the jade pendant directly.

But the pixelated man in "Unearned Money" did take a wooden sword and began to practice in a serious manner.

The progress of swordsmanship training at the beginning is also shown above "Unearned Gain".

However, this sword move might be too advanced. So now, after a few days, the learning progress is only about 60%.

It seems that it will take another 10 days or half a month to learn it completely.

This is also the reason why Qiu Tu said he is “still learning”.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji misunderstood Qiu Tu's meaning, thinking that Qiu Tu had not learned it and was just being stubborn to save face.

However, even if Qiu Tu really knew what Zhao Ji was thinking, he probably wouldn't explain it.

After all, it was a new secret technique! And it was also a pupil technique!

Just by being looked down upon by Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu could obtain a secret technique. He wished Zhao Ji would misunderstand him every day.

After all, once I have obtained and learned the secret techniques, the worst that can happen is that I can slap Zhao Ji in the face.

Qiu Tu has long wanted to give her a white facial mask
"three"

During this period, Zhao Ji was particularly tolerant of Qiu Tu. Not only did she say "I'm so sorry", she even began to explain some things for Qiu Tu.

Such a good change made Qiu Tu a little too proud of himself, and he started to brag in his heart again.

As a result, despite being professional, he was still caught by Zhao Ji!
"This woman, is it true that she can't read minds?! This is too much!"

Just like that, he learned from Zhao Ji about the strength of the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" and the matter of the "God Rank"; coupled with the pupil technique given by Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu can be said to have returned with a full load.

According to Zhao Ji, after Qiu Tu leaves, she will go to the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" to make preparations in advance.

Although Qiu Tu was a little reluctant to let her go, he really had no legitimate reason to stop her.

However, during this period of time, he was used to being under Zhao Ji, hugging her thighs. He was used to having Zhao Ji to protect him from the wind and rain. When Zhao Ji left, Qiu Tu was indeed a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, in his two lives, Qiu Tu has always known that other people's things are theirs. Even if someone secretly plays with them for a few hours, they are still theirs.

If you want to be confident, you have to own it!
Therefore, during the time when Zhao Ji was protecting him from the wind and rain, Qiu Tu did not stop his steps and successfully advanced to the 6th level. He became one of the top 10 strong men in the human camp.

In this way, even after Zhao Ji leaves, Qiu Tu will have enough confidence to face the next challenges.

Thinking of this, after leaving Zhao Ji's underground palace, Qiu Tu looked back in the direction of the woman.

From today, for the next month or so, you will have to rely on yourself.
At the same time, when Qiu Tu looked at Zhao Ji.

Hidden in a secret palace beneath the desert.

Zhao Ji, who was meditating, seemed to sense something. She opened her eyes and looked up at the roof not far away.

Her gaze seemed to penetrate through layers of space, the roof, the gravel, the soil, and fell on Qiu Tu.

Looking at Qiu Tu, her eyes were neither happy nor sad, but she was thinking in her heart
It has now been decided not to bring Qiu Tu with us for the time being, and to wait for Qiu Tu to come over on his own.

So should Lajiro bring it?

If I carry it with me, it seems like it will just be a burden.

If I don't take her with me, will I just send her into Qiu Tu's clutches?

Thinking of Lajiro's identity and her relationship with herself, Zhaoji couldn't help but frown.

It seems that no matter which one you choose, there will be a lot of trouble later.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji's eyes couldn't help but become deep.
After talking with Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu left the "Dongye Area" and went directly to the "Wangbei Area" through the "Regional Space Channel" built by Lajiluo.

Afterwards, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion of "Wangbei City" through the "Wangbei Area".

At this time, Guan Xiao was already waiting there.

Seeing Qiu Tu return, Guan Xiao quickly stood up and saluted Qiu Tu, "Speaker."

When seeing Guan Xiao coming to see him, Qiu Tu sensitively realized that it didn't seem like a good thing.

Sure enough, after considerately pouring a glass of water for Qiu Tu, Guan Xiao said to Qiu Tu carefully, "Chairman, there is a small problem. I don't know whether I should report it to you."

Hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu looked up at her while drinking water, and then said unhappily, "You've already said this much, if I say it's not right, can you really not report it?"

At this point, Qiu Tu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. What's the matter?"

Guan Xiao bent down and whispered, "You have explained it before. In order to quickly stabilize the people's hearts in the 6th and 7th shelters, other forces will not be moved for the time being, except for the Zhao family and the Han family."

"In the past few days, we have captured Zhao Pan's son and other accompanying personnel in the disaster area near Shelter 7."

"As a result, I don't know if something went wrong. After interrogating Zhao Pan's son, Speaker Yudie became so angry that she killed him."

"Afterwards, she gathered the Security Bureau's troops. From what she said, she was planning to uproot the Cheng family."

Hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu paused holding the water cup and couldn't help but frown.

Yudie (Qin Shuman) is the first person Qiu Tu meets in this world and one of the women he is closest to.

However, the only thing that made Qiu Tu a little regretful was that when he was in close contact with Yudie, he used the body of "Qin Shuman".

He tried to shoot Yudie's real body several times, but was rejected every time.

At that time, Yudie meant that her background was rather special and her family situation was rather complicated, and that she needed to first sort out her family situation before she could give herself to Qiu Tu.

During the period that followed, Qiu Tu also tried to find out about Yudie's family through various channels.

But nothing was found. All we know is that Yudie is suspected to have come from Shelter 7.

It was not until recently that Qiu Tu finally learned about Yudie's background: the Cheng family of Shelter No. 7.

Qiu Tu also knew about the conflict between the Cheng family and Yudie back then.

Fortunately, the Cheng family is now like an ant to Qiu Tu and he doesn't need to care too much about it.

The only problem is that the timing is not very good.

After all, now that the regime of the 6th and 7th shelters has changed, the three major shelters in the "Southwest Region", including the 2nd shelter, have not given any blessings or affirmation.

If something happens again at this time, it is very likely that he will be caught.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu held the water cup and frowned in deep thought.
After a moment, he sighed slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Let her make a fuss."

"Arrange some more trusted people to drive away all the people within a ten-mile radius of the Cheng family, and try not to let the news leak out."

Speaking of this, Qiu Tu was still worried about Yudie.

So he hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you."

Guan Xiao might have wanted this result. So when she saw Qiu Tu preparing to go there in person, she quickly said with a sweet smile, "Chairman, I also think it would be better for you to go there in person."

For some reason, Qiu Tu felt that Guan Xiao was a little strange, as if he was hinting at something.

Is there something else wrong with Yudie's actions this time?

Or maybe there are too many forces involved? The situation is a bit complicated?
It couldn't be that Guan Xiao thought that if he personally helped Yudie deal with the aftermath, he could win the beauty, so he hinted that he should go there in person? -
