"Then my confidence was shattered. I finally made it to the final arena, and then I met him in the very first match."
Confident that I had staked all my points on one bet, I was sent back to the beginner level after just one game.
He brought me back to reality.
Jiang Shu nodded: "That does fit the character."
"At first I was quite unconvinced, but later I was convinced."
Brother Bing showed no jealousy or resentment, because the gap between them was simply too great. He didn't even dare to feel a trace of envy for someone who could overwhelm his contemporaries.
"Because when he finally participated in the main competition, he had 10,000 points."
Moreover, they swept through the competition to win the championship and became the champion of the competition.
Because everyone of that generation was suppressed by him and lost their will to fight, the entire evolutionary world didn't hold a competitive tournament for five years.
At this point, Brother Bing paused, then said self-deprecatingly:
"I was one of them too. I just couldn't catch my breath, which is why I've wasted half my life..."
"Sigh." Jiang Shu sighed and patted Brother Bing on the back: "It's like this, it's really hard to accept the reality that you're not the main character, the sense of loss is too great."
"Let's not talk about that anymore." Brother Bing rubbed his face, stood up, and kicked Jiang Shu's chair with a smile. He said, "It's almost lunchtime. I'll take you to get familiar with the cafeteria. The meal standards at our Holy Temple are quite high. You're going to enjoy yourself for a while."
Jiang Shu shuddered from the kick.
"Hey, you're starting to look more and more like Brother Bing."
"What are you talking about? I am Brother Bing."
"That's true."
Chapter 212 Young Master, This Way Please
Top floor of the sanctuary.
A tall, middle-aged man in a black suit knocked on the chairman's door.
This person is the head of the Earth Church, which is in charge of all administrative, diplomatic and ceremonial matters. Recently, the church has not had any special plans or major events outside, except for the competition.
The competition is an open event open to all forces and organizations, and even some independent cultivators can participate, so it is naturally under the jurisdiction of Guidi Hall.
So when the president saw that he had come to visit, he immediately thought that something must have gone wrong with the planning of the competition.
Without him needing to ask further, the head of the Earth Hall, following the Holy Hall's decisive and efficient corporate culture, went straight to the point after exchanging greetings:
"President, there was a player among those who competed against the Hatchery ranking today. He acted very strangely during the ranking process. When I checked his information, I found that he did not go through any procedures or have my stamp on his registration. He was directly registered in the Ditang Special Operations Group. So I came to report this to you."
"Tsk."
The president understood perfectly; this person had come to him with a question and wanted an answer.
No one but myself could send people directly into the Underground Hall without going through the Underground Hall Master, so the other party wanted to confirm with me whether this was the person I had sent in.
This made the president a little uneasy. Could it be that Jiang Shu had caused some trouble and the head of the Earth Hall had come to ask him to take responsibility?
The Holy Temple has always upheld the principle that the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people. Logically speaking, if Jiang Shu were to cause any trouble, as the introducer, he would have to take responsibility, bypassing the head of the Earth Temple.
That's the rule.
Thinking about this, he felt somewhat helpless, because he was the one who set the rules.
"I put this guy in here, so I'll take responsibility for whatever happens." He put down what he was doing, first stating his position, then asked, "Just tell me straight, what did he do? Why is he behaving so strangely?"
"Please don't misunderstand." Upon hearing this, the head of the Earth Hall quickly waved his hand and explained, "What I mean is that he is too outstanding. He got five stars in the strength and physical strength test, and even six stars in intelligence."
"Oh?" The president was slightly surprised: "You didn't cause any trouble?"
“Yes.” The head of the Earth Hall nodded.
"What about speed?"
"The speed is a little lacking."
"How much is 'almost'?"
“One and a half stars.” The head of the Earth Hall paused, then added, “I heard that half a star was an encouragement point given because of his first three points.”
"..." The president raised an eyebrow: "You call this 'almost'?"
Nobody's perfect.
After confirming that Jiang Shu was someone arranged by the chairman, the head of the Ditang Hall clearly began to speak in Jiang Shu's favor.
After all, this was someone personally arranged by the chairman, not someone arranged by instructing others.
There are differences even among those with connections, a fact that the head of the local brothel understands all too well. These subtle distinctions are within his area of expertise.
However, he failed this time.
"What does it mean that no one is perfect? If someone isn't perfect, then what makes them...?"
The president looked disdainful, but stopped mid-sentence.
"Why should we?" the head of the Earth Hall asked curiously.
"What's it to you?" The president glanced at him with displeasure.
"Oh..." The head of the earth hall lowered his head humbly, thinking to himself that it was really strange. How could the chairman seem to dislike that young man, but personally do so many things for him?
I can't understand it.
"Is there anything else?" The president waved his hand: "If there's nothing else, go ahead and do your thing. You don't need to come and tell me about these little things about him in the future."
It's not surprising that he was dismissive of this. After all, he was also considered a genius when he was young, and he had already learned about Jiang Shu's background through the director of the Bureau of Different Lineages, and had also witnessed Jiang Shu's entire process of transformation.
Most importantly, he held Jiang Shu to a higher standard than his elders.
Therefore, he felt that this level of achievement was to be expected. In fact, he was more concerned about Jiang Shu's shortcomings than his outstanding performance; his speed was a major weakness.
This disappointed him somewhat.
Fortunately, the head of the Earth Hall brought other more interesting things with him this time.
"There is indeed one more thing."
The head of the Earth Hall hurriedly said:
"I noticed him because the person in charge of testing intelligence reported to me that he was given six stars because the full score is six stars, not because he could only get six stars. What I meant by his strange performance was this."
"How so?" The president became interested.
"His mental resistance is extremely high, to an unbelievable degree. The test subject had a level of twelve, but no matter how many negative status effects were applied, he was completely unaffected."
Moreover, judging from his performance, level twelve pressure doesn't seem to be the limit for him.
The head of the Earth Hall explained that, given the previous reaction from the guild leader, he had not shown any bias and was simply stating the facts:
"Because the result was so astonishing, the testers were worried that leaking the results would cause trouble, so they only gave him a score and did not make the process public, but secretly reported it to me."
"Items?" This was the first thing the guild leader thought of; otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Jiang Shu was able to break through the upper limit of the intelligence value of a level six evolver and achieve such an incredible feat.
“It shouldn’t be.” The head of the Earth Hall shook his head: “We didn’t find anything during the inspection at the time. I went to observe it secretly afterward, but I found nothing.”
"Hmm..." The president pondered for a moment: "Go ahead, and tell me immediately if there's anything about him."
"clear."
The head of the Earth Hall immediately understood.
It seems the president isn't unhappy with him, but rather cares too much, hence the stricter demands...
Then I'll know what to do.
......
late at night.
Having prepared everything in advance, Jiang Shu is now waiting in his luxurious suite for the start of the confrontation with the incubation farm.
Brother Bing, who was standing next to him, had already finished all his work and returned.
I said...
Brother Bing looked confused.
"I still feel like something's not right. How could everything have gone so smoothly?"
Logically speaking, after passing the initial screening, you still need to go through various procedures and register for various projects. There are quite a few people doing these things, so it's estimated that you'll be busy until midnight. If you're lucky, you might be able to finish before the competition incubator opens.
That was indeed the case at first. After lunch, the two of them started idly queuing up.
Even though Jiang Shu achieved such outstanding results when he was promoted, he still had to go through all the necessary procedures.
During this time, Jiang Shu asked Brother Bing, "As an insider, don't you have any convenient ways to take me around?"
Brother Bing said there was no way to deal with it. The hatchery was under the jurisdiction of the local authorities, and he was from the human authorities, so he didn't have the authority to handle things in a different location.
There's no other way, so let's just leave it at that.
But halfway through the process, I forgot what the specific registration was for. After the person in charge checked Jiang Shu's identity documents, he took all the documents and then disappeared.
The person disappeared for a long time, and only returned when the two of them were getting impatient.
Upon returning, he handed over all of Jiang Shu's information, along with a pile of permits and certificates, to Jiang Shu.
"It's all taken care of. Keep these safe."
What are these?
"This is what you need to do next."
"Is everything done?"
"Yes, you can now enter the confrontation incubator at any time."
"No...why? Didn't we say we'd do it one step at a time?"
"Oh, you're the 6,666th person to apply for this service this month. You've won the jackpot! You can enjoy a one-stop service without having to wait in line. In addition, you can pick up your personal butler and private suite at the entrance of the Incubator. You can ask him any questions you have, and you can tell him anything you need. He will try his best to meet your needs."
"Really? I've never won a prize in my life!"
"Congratulations!"
Then, the two of them walked out of the underground hall in a daze.
"How come I've never heard of such an award before?" Brother Bing frowned.
"Who cares?" Jiang Shu said dismissively. "If there's a bargain, we'll take advantage of it."
"But you're taking advantage of our family..."
"Then I'll give you a share."
"Oh, there's a portion for me too?"
“Of course.” Jiang Shu solemnly patted Brother Bing’s shoulders on both sides: “As my first friend here, I am willing to share my glory with you!”
"Where's the glory? Isn't this just pure luck?"
"Then don't worry about it!"
And so, just like that, Jiang Shu inexplicably acquired his own luxury suite.
Not only are the various supporting facilities more luxurious than Jiang Shu has ever seen before, but there is also a swimming pool and training ground. Moreover, the location is excellent. You can see the entrance to the competition hatchery through the window, go downstairs to start gambling, and walk a few steps to bed after gambling.
It felt just like home.
Seeing Brother Bing's confusion, Jiang Shu, who was lying on a deck chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, keeping a close eye on whether the door of the confrontation incubator was open, and looking down at the crowd that had started queuing up now, handed him a glass of juice.
"Don't overthink it, just make the best of it."
Taking the juice, Brother Bing slowly nodded: "On the contrary, am I the one who's more worried than the emperor?"
“I won’t allow you to talk about yourself like that,” Jiang Shu replied, then asked, “But normally, where should I live?”
"It's a dormitory," Brother Bing replied. "But the conditions are alright. It has a private bathroom, and it's about the same as the graduate student dormitories in some universities."
"Is that so..." Jiang Shu nodded: "That's a real pity, we couldn't live in a dormitory where the toilet is right downstairs from the bed."
"You son of a bitch..."
As they were talking, the main gate of the opposing incubation site slowly opened a crack.
A line of people dressed in black robes filed out and lined up neatly on both sides of the gate.
"It's about to begin." Brother Bing put down his cup and said to Jiang Shu, "You can go and get ready."
