Above Destiny

Chapter 298: The Craftsman's Mouth, a Deceitful Ghost

Fortunately, it is not.

Well, probably.

It’s not that Ji Jue underestimated Jian Yuan’s methods or abilities, but he expected Jian Yuan to be as humble as the examiner and deal with him. That would be a dream!
The old guy only knows how to force a cow to drink water, feed a duck until it is fat, and refine a talented person to death. He doesn't care about so many inexplicable things.

But if the examiner has nothing to do with Yousui, then this association is a little too damn complicated, isn't it?

Why should I tell such a deadly secret to an innocent little cat like me?
Ji Jue restrained his body's reaction, pretending not to care and not to understand, and lowered his head to look at his sample intently.

This stone, well, looks like a real stone.

The examiner didn't seem to care.

"...In short, although the transformation of good and evil is exaggerated, it does not mean that it cannot be done. It's just that few people can do it, and those who can do it are unwilling to do it.

And those who are willing to do it, just can’t do it.”

"why?"

Ji Jue asked subconsciously.

"Whose sewer doesn't have a check valve? What if water backflows?"

The examiner's voice became playful: "Imagine that one day, the great evil under the vortex suddenly rises from the world... No, it seems that there is no need to imagine. Didn't you almost see such a scene?"

Ji Jue didn't say anything.

The last guy who wanted to dig a straight pipe across the weak cracks in the real world is dead as hell.

Lu Changsheng!
Moreover, his ghost lingered even after his death, leaving behind a huge mess that has not been cleaned up yet.

But until now, the question in Ji Jue's mind has not been answered.

On the contrary, there are more.

“Is this also a lock?”

Ji Jue frowned: "What exactly is a lock?"

“You asked a good question!”

The examiner smiled as if relieved.

Silence, a long silence. No one spoke. Only Ji Jue was waiting with his neck raised like a stupid dog.

Until I can't wait any longer:
"Then what?!"

"And then what?" The examiner was at a loss: "I said this is a good question."

"Then just answer it!" Ji Jue's blood pressure was almost unstable.

"hehe."

The examiner seemed to hold up a covered bowl, scrape off the foam, blow on it, take a sip, and then slowly say: "I'm not your teacher, why should I answer?"

What the hell are you...

The veins on Ji Jue’s forehead were throbbing and his teeth were almost broken.

The Riddler gets out of Gotham!
After staring at the void for a long time, he finally said nothing.

Curse after you have said something foul!
He held his blood pressure, lowered his head, and immersed himself in the simulated world again.

Then, my blood pressure couldn't be held up anymore...

From east to west, from south to north - relying on the acceleration of time, his figure seemed to flash back and forth on this sea. In just a few days, he traveled to every place contaminated by the Nether Sea Worms.

Then I realized how terrifying the scale of what I was facing was.

Even if we ignore the lightly and moderately polluted areas caused by the leakage, using the most conservative estimation method, the heavily polluted areas within the scope of the evil cycle of the Hades Sea worms have reached more than five million square kilometers.

Multiplying length by width to find the integer is a very simple math problem, but the answer is enough to make people despair and want to hang themselves in the simulation of the Tower of All Changes.

This vast sea area, which is as large as half of the Federation, has completely turned into the Underworld Sea. It can almost be regarded as the body of a worm. The pollution inside is deeply rooted and difficult to exorcise. In this place, the worms are almost reborn as they die.

In order to completely exterminate the Nether Sea Worms, the only way is to completely destroy the five million square kilometers of sea area and then completely purify and evaporate it...

But if Ji Jue had this ability, why would he need to participate in a small craftsman examination?

Not to mention the exam, he even pulled the examiner out and slapped him a few times.

Let you pretend to be a riddle man!

Although no one cared about this disaster at first, it was just a pollution and a distortion, but the following omissions - Ji Jue decided to start the Wandering Underworld Sea Plan!

To put it simply, it is to use physical methods to cut off this entire sea area from the real world and launch it into the void of the universe!
Isn't it just breaking cookies?
Just pinch the corner and it's easy!

According to the first step of the plan, he needs to produce a large number of shield machines, assisted by an unlimited number of fusion bombs for directional blasting, and drill through the world from the edge of the underworld from top to bottom.

Then, install the propulsion system and push this thing into space.

In the end, Ji Jue died of old age.

Until he died of old age, he still had not figured out the bottom of this world.

Even if he overcame all difficulties and dug more than 2,000 kilometers downwards, no matter how advanced the excavation equipment was, even if a fusion bomb was placed close to his face, it would be difficult to dig even an inch deeper.

"All the materials in the world are created by the ruins. To some extent, the ruins are the foundation of the world, literally the foundation." The examiner smiled and said, as if stroking Ji Jue's dog head from a distance: "You want to use materials to break the ruins, isn't that absurd?
Well, but the idea is commendable, I can give you [6] points.

Because you are the real 6! "

"hehe."

Ji Jue smiled to show his gratitude: I 6 you ■!

Don't do too much nonsense.

Time restarts, work continues...

Then Ji Jue died again.

It is sad and lamentable that he died because he overestimated his own abilities and dared to use the evil spirit of the Nether Sea Worm.

This time the examiner gave 9 points.

Except for 6, because Ji Jue screamed and persisted for 3 hours before committing suicide.

Time restarts.

Then Ji Jue died again.

He died accidentally. He missed a step and fell from his own outer space strike combat satellite. He screamed for half an hour before burning to ashes in the atmosphere before hitting the ground.

The examiner gave him 3 points because of his creative death.

Time restarts.

dead.

Restart, die again, start again, die again.

Die die die die die.

At the end of the day, Ji Jue's mentality completely exploded. In frustration and rage, he pointed to the sky and cursed the examiner for the entire day.

From beginning to end, the examiner just smiled and did not respond.

Until Ji Jue finally got tired of scolding and sat down, no longer having the energy to say: "You knew from the beginning that there was no way I could succeed, right?"

"Hmm? Have faith in yourself, young man."

In the luxurious independent space, the examiner sat in front of the fireplace, warming himself by the fire, and sighed, "The most precious qualities of a person are waiting and hope. Infinite resources and infinite blessings are provided. If you find the right method, even a pile of worms will be killed!"

Ji Jue was so angry that he laughed.

To death? To put it simply, if you can do it, just do it!

"Oh, by the way."

The examiner paused and said with emotion, "I actually played a role in the campaign to defeat the Nether Sea Worms. Well, you didn't think of saying 'if you can do it, you can do it', did you?"

What the hell are you...

Ji Jue was completely defeated and didn't want to play anymore.

Falling backwards.

Spread out on the beach.

"Why don't you just kill me directly!"

"What do you think of the association?" The examiner seemed shocked. "We are a management organization for craftsmen. How could we kill innocent apprentices?"

"You're just going to lock up innocent apprentices and not let them leave, right?!"

Ji Jue sneered, "You are already an adult, stop being so secretive, okay? Why don't you just be direct - what exactly do you want to do?!"

"Well……"

The examiner seemed to be stunned for a moment, and fell into deep thought for a long time, then sighed:
"To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet!"

Ji Jue felt that his sanity was destroyed once again - how the hell could you say such stupid words so powerfully!

"Don't worry."

The examiner comforted me warmly: "I just want to understand the young people of today and find some common ground with the new generation. This is a process of increasing understanding."

Ji Jue was silent, gritted his teeth for a long time, and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "What do you want to know? Just ask directly!"

The examiner asked curiously: "You are also a craftsman, so let me ask you: Can you believe what a craftsman says?"

"..." Ji Jue was speechless.

If the words of the craftsmen had a little credibility, there wouldn't be so many fledgling craftsmen begging for funds and being regarded as scammers.

"You see!"

The examiner laughed: "Actions speak louder than words, Ji Jue, people can lie, but their hands can't."

"Who said it wouldn't happen?"

Ji Jue retorted, raised his hand and made an OK gesture towards the sky.

Then, the wrist is twisted and the ring finger and little finger are retracted at the speed of light.

Then, he found that his right hand had turned into a mosaic...

"..."

Ji Jue's expression twitched and he was speechless.

"Well, not anymore."

The examiner took a sip of tea slowly. "Besides, the opportunity is rare, why waste it? There is no need to make these unnecessary tests. Ji Jue, aren't you enjoying it too?"

"Why am I happy?"

Ji Jue was furious: "From the beginning to the end, you were the only one who was happy, right?!"

"Let me see. The internal statistics show that the time has been over 440 years. However, if we exclude acceleration and file loading, based on your perception of time, it has been about five or six months, right?
If you're not having fun, why stick with it for so long?"

The examiner asked curiously: "Even now, aren't you still tirelessly exploring it? The opportunity to change the world is right in front of you. Which craftsman would remain indifferent?"

"I do not mind."

Ji Jue retorted, "What the world becomes is none of my business!"

"...That's fine."

The examiner sighed, as if he was helpless. Suddenly, a chair appeared in front of Ji Jue: "I'm still dealing with some things here. Please sit down for a while."

He assured, "If you don't change your mind, I'll get you out later."

No! There's something fishy! There's definitely something wrong!
Ji Jue was instinctively alert and looked around. He would not be surprised even if the chair turned into a bomb and sent him into the sky in the next moment.

But it just didn’t happen.

Even though Ji Jue was prepared to be killed by the explosion and sat on it, nothing happened.

The sea breeze blows gently, and it is refreshing and cool under the parasols. The bright afternoon sun illuminates the beach and the blue sea, which are sparkling and beautiful.

Just like the beautiful scenery in the resort, it is relaxing.

Ji Jue drank iced soda, enjoying the good time. Gradually, he relaxed his vigilance and began to hum a song until a crunching sound was heard in the distance.

really……

Ji Jue looked back with a sneer, he knew it wasn’t that simple!
Then, I saw...

A bicycle, carrying a person with drooling and a silly grin on his face, was coming towards him unsteadily.

【? ? ? 】

What the hell?

There was a crisp sound.

Right in front of Ji Jue, the bicycle fell down and the chain broke.

The idiot who had fallen hard got up from the ground, squeaking, and kicked the bicycle twice furiously, trying to pick it up and ride it again. However, no matter how hard he pedaled, the bicycle would not move anymore, and the broken chain got stuck even more tightly.

As Ji Jue watched coldly, the fool finally realized what the problem was.

If the bicycle won’t move, why not just find another one that does?
So, he quickly grabbed two drooling little fools, tied them up with ropes in front of the bicycle like slaves, and waved a whip at them. The little fools, in pain, immediately dragged the bicycle and ran away.

After solving the problem, the fool stood on the bicycle and laughed excitedly.

baffling!

Ji Jue withdrew his gaze and heard the rumbling sound again.

A pickup truck drove over from a distance, stopped in front of him, and then had a flat tire.

The idiot who was driving got out of the car, looked at the flat tire, held tools in his hands, full of confusion, and tried punching, kicking, and gnawing on it, but to no avail. Until he looked up and around, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Then, in front of Ji Jue's dull gaze, he snatched the bicycle, removed the wheel, put it on his own bike, wrapped it with a cloth strip, and drove away with a rumble.

From beginning to end, he never even looked at the spare tire on the trunk!
The idiot whose bicycle was stolen started to cry, shout, and get angry, but soon, he found a way to tie the two little idiots to the empty front wheel and waved the whip, so the bicycle started to turn forward...

Ji Jue's eye twitched and he heard a roar.

In the distance, thick smoke rose, and a pickup truck that had run a few meters suddenly had its engine blown and broke down.

"..."

For a moment, Ji Jue was about to say something but stopped himself. He had already foreseen what was going to happen next.

Not long after, the three idiots on the bicycles were tied to the front of the pickup truck, and they pulled the truck while crying and shouting under the waving of whips.

The wheels whirred.

Until they were stopped by a fool who looked wise and intelligent. The wise man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with his arms outstretched. He stopped the car, angrily scolded the stupidity of his fellow car, and then directed the fools to open the hood.

Ji Jue knew at a glance that the spark plug was broken.

Too much carbon deposits.

If you don't want to change it, you can just wash it.

If you can make do with it a little more, even just blowing twice will work.

This can be solved, right?

Then, he saw that after a little thought, calm analysis and careful consideration, the sage resolutely lifted the hem of his gorgeous clothes and urinated on the water tank lid.

Then, in front of Ji Jue's eyes, which looked like he had seen a ghost, the car actually... started moving again? !

And the fellows surrounded them, shouting with joy and praising enthusiastically!
So that’s why, there are so many fires!
He is indeed a sage!
The next group to perform was a team.

Idiots of all sizes drove in all kinds of vehicles. Under the command of the leader, they started construction in full swing in front of Ji Jue.

After hanging two fools as sacrifices to the heavens, they didn't even dig the foundation. The fools used various tools to pour concrete on site. Not only was the ratio a mess, but there was not even any reinforcing bars. It stood up under the pull of the rope. It didn't matter if there were cracks on the top, they could just use some mud to fill them up.

If the wall is crooked, just use sticks to prop it up and it will still provide shelter from the wind and rain.

One after another, crooked and cracked buildings rose up rapidly in front of Ji Jue's eyes, and the speed of construction was even faster than the speed of collapse.

A messy settlement was built right in front of Ji Jue, and then another.

Soon, the two communities of fools began to become hostile to each other over which side should get more coconuts.

In the end, on the big screen, the leaders of both sides were drooling and screaming, and the two gangs of fools started fighting each other with rifles full of barbs as maces.

"Ah-"

"Hmm——"

"—"

Amidst all the meaningless shouts, Ji Jue's eyes twitched wildly, but he restrained himself, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

He had already vaguely guessed what the dog examiner was trying to do.

My heart felt cold.

What did I do wrong to deserve such idiotic torture?

Soon, under the battering ram made of hanging intercontinental missiles, the gate of one side collapsed, and the more stupid side was swallowed up in the war.

This means that everyone has become equally stupid.

boom! ! !
When the entire settlement was sent into the sky because of the various Tang syndrome operations of the fools, Ji Jue actually breathed a sigh of relief, sweating profusely, because it was finally over.

But then, another group of idiots came from nowhere and migrated in. They repeated the same mistakes and operations in vain, without learning any lessons, and became more and more stupid!
In fact, this time even the building was not built.

After smashing four leaders to death, everyone decided to give up the stupid technology, and lived in shacks from then on, leading a peaceful life as fools.

But before Ji Jue could relax a bit, by chance, a fool of his kind was held on the top of his head to open a coconut, and finally discovered the secret of spiritual essence in the concussion... Ji Jue's heart sank to the bottom.

From then on, the fools never returned from the road of using the top of the head to open coconuts. They started a series of sacrifices, worships and prayers to open more coconuts and get harder tops, and finally formed the Coconut God Cult. Pray to the coconut every day to give yourself incredible power to open more coconuts!
Until a certain mentally retarded priest had a flash of inspiration and discovered the interference of spiritual essence on physical properties, and the embryonic form of alchemy was born... Ji Jue's fist had begun to harden!
Hold on, hold on, Ji Jue!

Don’t fall into the trap of the dog examiner!

You must hold back!

But when this bunch of idiots finally started to use their appallingly poor alchemy to replicate fluid alchemy and coconut dissociation, Ji Jue was completely defeated.

No, I can't bear it!
Ji Jue couldn't sit still any longer. He kicked over the chair, rushed over and slapped the idiot twice, snatched the coconut from his hand and smashed it to the ground.

Kick it to the horizon.

Fuck coconuts!!!

"Eh? We haven't even reached the mechanical engineering part yet, can't you hold back?"

The examiner sipped coconut water and appeared behind him at some point.

It seems like a smile but not a smile.

"So, it really doesn't matter what you become, Ji Jue?"

He looked at Ji Jue's gloomy face and asked curiously: "You can't even tolerate a bunch of idiots. Can you accept the world no matter what it becomes?"
