Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 163: Three attributes break the limit, our logistics department has more to consider (4.2k)

Caroline held out her hand.

Hold your five fingers loosely.

Then, the red pillar hovering in the air seemed to be grasped by something, and was dragged downward in a winding and twisted manner.

"Although I understand you, a heroic spirit who has entered the truth... even if you have been dead for a long time, you are still so arrogant that you want us to wait for you here for an hour or two."

Caroline raised the corners of her lips, and she sighed contemptuously: "But I understand, but I am far from being tolerant enough to let an old guy who I have never met put on airs in front of everyone."

"so……"

She put away her fake smile, and the coldness of a dragon emanated from her face: "Get down here!"

Under the gaze of the crowd in the baptistery, the red pillar twisted wildly to maintain its position, but was eventually pulled down from the air by Caroline.

Finally, he calmly put it into his mouth.

All the strange visions disappeared as Caroline's mouth closed.

Baji, Baji, Baji~
"Hiccup~"

Caroline opened her mouth slightly and exhaled, and it seemed as if a red light wanted to escape.

She closed her mouth again, tore this unique inheritance into pieces, and absorbed it into her body.

Ten seconds later, Caroline made her comment as everyone looked at her in astonishment:
“The taste is average, but very chewy.”

Before the onlookers could react to the shock of being forced to absorb the blessing and inheritance, they saw pure white light emanating from Caroline's body.

Yuan Qingzhuo was the first to react and said curiously: "It wants you to break through to the sublimation stage."

He pulled Rush to his side and protected him with his martial arts will - to prevent Caroline from exploding and hurting the child.

"Yeah..." Caroline covered her belly unhappily, with a sinister malice on her face: "The old man is dead, but he still has so many ideas."

Hearing Caroline calling him "old thing" all the time, Yuan Qingzhuo patted Lash's head and pointed at the dragon girl who was full of bad words and said, "I didn't expect that Caroline would learn this after being with me for so long... Lash must be a good boy in the future and can't talk like sister Caroline."

The girl nodded vigorously: "Oh! Rush will."

However, Caroline, who was struggling against the tremendous power of the heroic spirit inheritance in her body, could not hear these words that were slandering her.

Her red vertical pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip, and she manipulated the spiritual essence in her body to tear apart the external power. Then she said indifferently to the inheritance in her body:
"Either obey me or I'll tear you to pieces."

As if sensing Caroline's unshakable will, the red inheritance wandered for a moment, and finally obediently merged into her own spiritual flow.

The white light that originally emerged from the dragon girl's body suddenly retracted and disappeared.

This is beyond the common sense of the boys and girls around them.

Generally speaking, opportunities to break through are hard to come by, let alone under the protection of such a large-scale ritual and with the help of a super-high-level inheritance...

What's more, the inheritance obtained by the Dragon Girl Caroline still belongs to the [Truth Level] inheritance.

truth.

What is truth?

These fledgling children simply could not describe the greatness of the Sixth Level in words because they had not even learned about it in books.

But Yuan Qingzhuo knew.

——If the fifth rank, Legend, is a humanoid miracle walking in the abyss, a humanoid myth, it is an undoubted "demigod".

——Then the sixth level, truth, is a god who can change heaven and earth with a single word and turn an abyss of tens of millions of miles into a greenhouse.

Of course, the above is just the knowledge he learned from books.

According to Yuan Qingzhuo's inference, ordinary truth-level beings should not be as strong as described...

general.

——But Caroline gave up the opportunity to break through to the third level and sublime with the help of the Truth Level inheritance.

Instead, he went against his good will and forced himself to stay at the mercury level.

why!
This scene made countless young men who were just a little bit away from breaking through feel heartbroken.

"He directed this power to the target location accurately without wasting even a single bit. That's amazing..."

Yuan Qingzhuo sensed some changes in the essence of life coming from Caroline not far away. He patted Rush on the head and said, "But Sister Caroline's idea and approach are good. We can learn from them."

Rush nodded again: "Okay!"

Caroline Noah

[Current impression: Friend (↑)]

[Age: 12 years old]

[Rank: Second Level Mercury]

[Physique: 13444 (breaking the limit)]

[Soul Strength: 17221 (Breaking Limit)]

[Spiritual Essence: 18891 (Breaking Limit)]

Not only are all the three-dimensional properties broken.

Yuan Qingzhuo also noticed that Caroline had obtained a new blessing - [Sublimated Mercury].

It’s a pity that Yuan Qingzhuo cannot see the specific content of the blessing, which is a bit regrettable.

"This little guy has great talent, but he's too ambitious."

At some point, Yuan Qingzhuo discovered that a brown-haired girl in a wheelchair appeared beside him. She squinted her eyes and looked at Caroline: "Three broken limits... Fortunately, we are still within the coverage of the monastery, otherwise..."

Yuan Qingzhuo didn't say anything about the elusive Farandel, but Rush was slightly frightened: "What else would happen, Sister Farandel?"

"Of course it turned into a monster with a 'pop'."

Flandel lazily moved in the wheelchair. "Caroline's will is strong, but her spirit and physique have become even stronger. Not to mention that most of her physique comes from dragon blood... Well, even if she becomes a monster, she is still the most talented one."

As he spoke, Flandel glanced at Yuan Qingzhuo intentionally or unintentionally.

"It will happen in a moment? Isn't it just a probability?"

"Other people wouldn't, but if it's Caroline, it will happen immediately."

Flandel put her finger in front of her lips and smiled: "Girls have secrets too, don't ask too much."

Amid the groans of the people around him, Yuan Qingzhuo nodded thoughtfully.

But after a moment, he looked forward along the line of sight of Farandelle.

An slowly walked down from the center of the altar, looking down at Caroline who was clenching her fists and feeling the new power. There was actually some... compassion in his eyes?
"You took the initiative to choose a more difficult path, Caroline."

Ann's voice was like a switch for the ambient sound. Within a few seconds of her speaking, the entire baptistery returned to silence.

"Yes, life always has to be challenging." Caroline gestured casually, and sharp explosions appeared in the air, but the next moment these explosions were grasped in her palms and disappeared into thin air.

Under Ann's silent gaze, Caroline grinned happily and pointed behind her:
"Besides, I also have Teacher Yuan Qingzhuo."

Facing An's gaze, Yuan Qingzhuo nodded slightly apologetically - because if he had not come into contact with Caroline, he thought Caroline would probably have broken through to the sublimation stage today.

Because the [power] of this inheritance is beyond doubt.

It's a pity that under Yuan Qingzhuo's words and deeds, Caroline's "purity" became a little high - if she just obediently followed the path of her predecessors, even if it was the path of a Truth-level strongman, she would not be considered truly powerful.

"in this way……"

Ann sighed silently, kissed Caroline's forehead, held her in her arms, and gave a blessing that sounded a little strange: "Then, I hope you can gain something from this trip."

Caroline was caught off guard and her face instantly turned red - being hugged by her mother in front of so many people...

Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding? Caroline is not a mama's girl!

So she quickly got out of An Qingrou's embrace and coughed twice: "If everything is fine, I'll leave first."

After Caroline turned around quickly, Ann's calm voice reached only her ears:

"Then you and Yuan Qingzhuo should stay with me for a while."

Ok?
Caroline and Yuan Qingzhuo's eyes met. The former snorted and quickly fled out of the baptistery, while the latter raised his eyebrows, thinking that Caroline definitely had something to say.

But there are so many people here now, it’s not easy to find her.

It doesn't matter how much time we have.

Yuan Qingzhuo teased Rush's little horn and glanced at Farandel who was yawning and doing nothing on the side - he didn't know why Sister Farandel came here, was she just here to join in the fun?

After the somewhat shocking episode in which Caroline refused to ascend, the final process of the so-called awakening ceremony arrived.

Diversion.

As mentioned before, the cult is only obligated to raise these children until they are twelve years old, the day when the awakening ceremony ends.

And at the end of this day, the child will become an adult.

Ann returned to the altar and listened to the whispers about Caroline from below, but she didn't pay any attention.

She pondered for a moment, taking in the faces of every energetic young man and woman, and then spoke softly, "If you wish to stay in the monastery, please go outside the east gate. The head nun is waiting for you."

East gate.

The stout nun in a large nun's robe stood silently at the door, like a column.

Amid the murmurings, about one-fifth of the children stood up, most of them walking towards the east gate with apologetic looks on their faces.

Yuan Qingzhuo heard Farandel complaining silently: "Ah, why are there so many mama's boys and girls this year?"

An just smiled and continued, "Those who wish to enter the logistics and civilian departments, please go to the west gate. Mr. A is waiting there."

Simon.

The man with a slicked-back hair, a high-end suit, and rare ornaments surging with spiritual essence all over his body smiled and waved at everyone.

This time, not many children stood up, only one in ten.

Yuan Qingzhuo also discovered that most of them were children with slightly pale complexions and slightly thin bodies.

Farandel couldn't help but snicker. "Look, these little guys who were deceived have been exploited like this before they even get started... We can relax for a while in the next two months."

"Sister Fa, the spiritual outlook of the cult's logistics..." Yuan Qingzhuo glanced at Flandre's dark circles and asked in confusion, "Are they all like you?"

Flandre smiled happily:
"It's like this in our rear. The frontline fillers just need to devote themselves to the battlefield, follow orders, and fight hard to kill the enemy, but our rear personnel have a lot of things to consider."

Yuan Qingzhuo was about to express his doubts to Flandel when he saw her pull out a receipt out of thin air.

Farandel smiled crookedly:
"This is the average daily sleep time and average overtime pay for the civilian department of the Second Abyss."

Yuan Qingzhuo took a closer look and found that the former was a big "1.1" formed by the addition of a bunch of inconspicuous small numbers, and the latter was a big "0"... ?
0……?
Yuan Qingzhuo:?

Flandre: (≧▽≦)
Yuan Qingzhuo had rarely seen Sister Fa smile with such genuine joy. He heard Flandre slapping her thigh happily:

"Young people nowadays are so good. They are so motivated and have a sense of collective honor. They all say they must work overtime voluntarily! They will definitely not work if you don't pay them overtime!"

A chill ran down his spine - even capitalists don't exploit and squeeze the labor force in this way. How on earth have the logistics and clerical departments of this cult been able to exist for so long?

"If you want to go to the front line of the Second Abyss to fight the demons, please go to the south gate. The Grand Knight of the Knights Templar is waiting for you there. Those who excel can be directly recruited by the Knights Templar."

South Gate.

The knight who had confronted Caroline stood there and looked at Yuan Qingzhuo again, making the latter feel a little apologetic.

As An finished his words, most of the remaining boys and girls in the baptistery rushed towards the south gate.

Rushing to be the first, for fear of falling behind others.

Flandel spread his hands and said, "After all, we are in a monastery in the Second Abyss. There must be many people who want to slay demons with their own hands after being exposed to the environment since childhood."

“But I don’t know how many of them can cross the threshold of becoming an apprentice.”

After the head nun, Mr. A, and the grand knight left with their respective teams, the entire baptistery suddenly became deserted.

Apart from Yuan Qingzhuo and the other two, there were only a dozen or so people standing there.

Among them, there are some as strong as the young man who just broke through to the Sublimation Stage, and some as weak as the young girl who has not even reached the White Iron Stage.

Instinct made Yuan Qingzhuo feel that what was about to happen would not be simple.

"Everyone."

An looked down at the remaining dozen people, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Have you decided to become a Lighthouse?"

She told everyone: "It's not too late to hesitate, think again, and make a decision."

But all that responded to An was an extremely firm silence, like a city wall.

Yuan Qingzhuo couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sister Fa, this is..."

"A position with a 100% mortality rate... Let's thank them first." Flandre stared at the young man who had reached the sublimation level for a while and sighed, "You will know the details later."

So under Yuan Qingzhuo's gaze, An asked the dozen people to gather together, and then hugged them one by one and gave them blessings.

Finally, a dozen people were taken away by a guy covered in cold white work clothes.

The reason why it is called a "thing" is because Yuan Qingzhuo used his martial arts will to feel it and found that the thing in the work clothes did not look like a human.

All steps of the awakening ceremony are now concluded.

Yuan Qingzhuo was just about to leave the baptistery holding Rush in one hand and pushing Flandel in the other, but who would have thought that Caroline would run in from the door again.

"follow me!"

After that, Caroline dragged Yuan Qingzhuo, who was full of questions, away from Rush without saying a word, leaving Rush and Flandre looking at each other in confusion.
