Chapter 11: Preparation

Although the pain was awful, the effect was still there. In the next few days, Zhou Ji also diligently changed the crystals every night, as if he wanted to make up for the previous two years of neglect in his cultivation. Under the obvious improvement, twelve crystals a day was worth it. 

It had been four days since Zhang Hao came last time. On the morning of the fifth day, Zhou Ji had just opened the door when he saw a familiar figure walking over from afar. 

“Hao?” 

Zhang Hao walked closer and directly pulled Zhou Ji into the shop, locking the door behind him. 

“Zhou Ji, hehe, you’re lucky this time!” Zhang Hao said as he stuffed the package in his arms to Zhou Ji. “I just found a relative two days ago. I only used that cultivation method, so everything over there has been settled for you. “I guess I’ll update your information today. Take a look. When we get there, we’ll go to the city’s Magic Bureau to change the materials for your management qualification.” 

“Then what’s this?” 

Zhou Ji looked at the package stuffed into his arms with some puzzlement. 

“Aren’t these the spiritual crystals you gave me? I didn’t use them, so I brought them back for you.” Zhang Hao smiled and said, “You brought your daughter with you. When you get to the first big city, you won’t be familiar with the place, so you’ll still need them.” 

“Hao, aren’t you mocking me? Thank you for taking care of me these past few years. You can keep these. I still have some savings here.” Zhou Ji’s heart was slightly warm. 

“This is for your daughter, do you understand? You’re a rough old man. When you go to the first city, don’t mistreat your daughter.” Zhang Hao fiercely smashed Zhou Ji’s chest, he pushed the bag back into his hand. 

The cultivation technique that Zhou Ji cultivated had the effect of increasing one’s physical fitness. Zhou Ji didn’t feel any pain from this punch, but Zhang Hao’s fist was red. 

Zhou Ji’s throat rolled slightly, but he didn’t know how to open his mouth. He could only listen to Zhang Hao’s rambling. 

“Also, in the other city, even if you’re from the outer city, there are a lot of people who can make connections with the inner city. Zhou Ji, when you go there, keep a low profile. Take your time to take root. Don’t be anxious.” 

“Okay…” 

“… I know that you must have come up with a good thing like a magic technique. It’s not wrong to keep this kind of thing for protection. I’ve arranged for you to be a mercenary through connections. It’s also for today’s update. There’s no harm in this thing. Find an opportunity to casually learn a spell to cover it up. If something happens, it’ll be good for self-defense.” 

“Okay.” 

“… When you go to a big city, there will be many powerful cultivators there. If you have to lower your head, then lower it. A man can bend. Don’t try to be brave. You still have a daughter to raise.” 

“Okay, okay…” 

“Also, if there’s a chance, you can find a way to give your daughter a look at her eyes. Society is so developed now. There’s still a way to treat her eye disease.” 

“Okay.” 

“…” 

The atmosphere in the small shop was slightly gloomy. 

“Are you free tonight?” 

“I’m free.” 

“I asked your sister-in-law to buy some good wine and prepare some good dishes. We’ll bring your daughter home for dinner tonight.” 

“Okay!” 

Zhou Ji nodded again. 

“Oh, right.” As he said that, Zhang Hao seemed to have remembered something and said, “The big shot who I sent the cultivation method also sent a letter of introduction. He said that if you have the chance to meet an inner city elder surnamed Wu, you can pay him a visit.”. The letter was put in your bag.” 

Zhou Ji’s mouth was wide open. 

If he had not been to Zhang Hao’s house many times and knew the situation of Zhang Hao’s house, he would have suspected that his daughter had some kinship with this guy. 

The store was not open today, and the signboard had been taken down. After the information update found that his commonly used magic management qualifications had been transferred to the first big city, Zhou Ji decisively closed the store. 

He sorted the spell books in the shop into his storage bag, then stuffed the pots, pans, bedsheets, and some clothes into it. Finally, he filled the third storage bag. 

In the afternoon, Zhou Ji went to the station to buy three tickets for the large-scale floating shuttle to Earth Armor City 3. He set off early the next morning. He didn’t forget Zhang Hao’s reminder. He went to the spell trading place and learned a very rubbish wind control spell. It cost him 50 crystals. 

Heavenly Armor City No. 1 was on another continent, and there was a sea between it and Zhou Ji’s small city. He needed to take a three-day floating shuttle to Earth Armor No. 3 city, then transfer to the sea shuttle to Heavenly Armor City, and finally to Heavenly Armor City No. 1 by floating shuttle. Of course, there were more convenient flying shuttles for transportation. However, it was expensive and cumbersome to check, so Zhou Ji gave up on this plan. 

When the sun set, Zhou Ji carried his daughter and a basket of fruits to visit Zhang Hao’s house. Zhang Hao’s family only had a six-year-old son and lived in a large residential community on the outskirts of an upscale residential area. 

Two people, two bottles of wine, and four side dishes sat from night to dawn the next day. Only then did Zhou Ji carry Xiao Rui back to the store with her sleepy eyes. Everything in the store had been packed up, leaving only a bare bed behind the curtain and a big backpack on the bed. 

Although Zhou Ji had put all the valuable items into three storage bags and kept them close to his body, in order to prevent others from noticing, Zhou Ji still packed up a big backpack, inside the backpack were his usual clothes, some dry food, more than ten books of common spells that he had never seen before, and some commonly used items. 

He hugged his daughter and slept in the empty shop until the jade plate vibrated slightly at the set time. Only then did Zhou Ji get up to wash up. The landlord had already informed him, and the landlord was also kind-hearted, so he returned the remaining half a month’s room fee… 

The train station in the outer city was next to the city gate. Other than a simple ticket office, there was only a stop sign. 

When Zhou Ji arrived, there were already many people standing there. 

The floating shuttle departed from the inner city, but the outer city was not the starting point. 

Zhou Ji carried a huge backpack and blended into the crowd. However, no matter how much he wanted to fit in with the crowd, the young man with a confused and curious three-year-old girl in one hand and a pet cage in the other was still so striking in the crowd. 

Zhou Ji had specially consulted about pets. There was one place at the bottom of the large floating shuttle that was used to carry luggage, and another place that was used to carry living things. The storage area for the living things was specially designed with a formation that could let the pets fall into a deep sleep and maintain their bodily functions for a long time. Of course, this was also required to buy tickets, which were the same as the price of a single seat. 

When the large white shuttle-shaped vehicle, which was more than three meters tall and ten meters long, appeared in Zhou Ji’s eyes, he was also a little excited. He had seen this thing in the city several times before, but this was his first time riding it. 

It was said that there was a space array carved inside this thing. Although it looked only ten meters long and three meters tall, the space inside was far more than that. A large shuttle like this was said to be able to carry up to 200 people..
