Chapter 35: First Order of Business

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At Wangfang Trading Company, someone spoke. 

“Manager, there’s something we need to report to you.” Supervisor Zhou looked at Liu Song, who was sitting across the desk, and a slight uneasiness appeared on his face. “Because of the conflict on the floating shuttle, we collected all the bodies after the conflict. Because there was no special morgue bag, we parked them in an empty warehouse. But when we checked the port, we found that the bodies in the warehouse were missing.” 

“Missing?” Liu Song put down the book in front of him and looked at the only supervisor of H45 in front of him. “Don’t tell me that the bodies moved on their own and then ran away.” 

Supervisor Zhou opened his mouth, but in the end, he said, “The result of our on-site investigation was the same. The bodies seemed to have run away on their own…” 

… 

Without Yue Wu, the jinx, the rest of the journey was extremely smooth. Zhou Ji wanted to change the magic tool for his daughter, but Xiao Rui seemed to have a special liking for the flying needle, so he had no choice but to give up this idea. 

It didn’t matter. His daughter didn’t need to fight now anyway. He would find an opportunity to get a better flying needle for his daughter in the future, and he could also find an opportunity to strengthen the Swimming Needle Technique later. 

With nothing to do on the way, Zhou Ji finally settled down to improve and learn the technique. While he was at it, he also improved and learned the mid-level three-word “Wind Control Technique”. 

[Wind control, flying] 

[Flight speed increased by 300% , consumption reduced by 30%.] 

[(Blue) flight speed increased by 300%.] 

[(Blue) casting consumption reduced by 30%.] 

[(Blue) ability to stay in the air, consumption increased by 30% , flight flexibility increased by 300%.] 

Looking at the two effects of reducing consumption, Zhou Ji felt a little arrogant, thinking that he could control this spell now. Of course, he couldn’t experiment on the floating shuttle, he could only think about it. 

Two days later, at noon, the Wangfang Trading Company’s large-scale floating shuttle stopped at the outer city station of Heavenly Armor City No. 1. 

The young man holding his daughter in one hand and the dog cage in the other followed the flow of people out of the car, taking a deep breath of the rich spiritual essence. 

The density of the spiritual essence here was about 70% of the density of the spiritual essence inside the spirit gathering array that he had used before. Of course, if he used the spirit gathering array here, the density of the spiritual essence would also increase. The density of the spiritual essence inside the array was adjusted according to the density of the spiritual essence in the external environment. 

After finding a hotel in the outer city to settle his daughter down, Zhou Ji started the work that he was familiar with a few years ago. He went to the technical supervisor to change the registration information and then went to the commercial office to find a bustling area near the inner city to rent. The rent was 60 crystals per month, which was slightly more expensive than what Zhang Hao had expected. 

Fortunately, Zhou Ji had earned a lot of extra money along the way, so 720 crystals could be considered acceptable for a year’s rent. 

… 

At the Heavenly Armor City No. 1, inner city, at the Bai family’s School of religion, the bell had already rung for the end of class. Sun Ming quietly packed his books and glanced at the lecturer who was surrounded by a few Bai family’s direct descendants and asked questions. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t go forward. 

Previously, the Southern Federation had finally opened its own school to all commoners to recruit students. Those who could enter the third level of the Qi Cultivation Realm after four years of compulsory education were considered qualified and could enroll in the school. Not only was it free, but the top few were also rewarded with crystals. And he, Sun Jiabao, was one of the beneficiaries. 

It was only after he entered the Bai family’s school that he realized how big the gap was between him and the students of these clans. They were like geniuses. One or two of them cultivated extremely fast, and the power of the learning method was also extremely great — at least, it was much more powerful than the method he learned. He knew that most of the problems were related to the method and the method. 

But where could he get a good method? Because his grades reached the standard to enter the clan, his parents spent thousands of crystals to buy a qi-raising essence method. But this did not seem to be of much use! His cultivation could not catch up, and his system knowledge was even worse. This was not a problem with his brain. He was not inferior to anyone in terms of intelligence and talent, but what was lacking now was his family background and heritage! 

In his muddle-headed state, Sun Ming had already walked out of the inner city and passed through the bustling commercial street that he passed by every morning and evening. He took an envious glance at the latest holographic spirit screen displayed in the spirit technology product store. Sun Ming began to think that he might as well stop paying attention to cultivation and focus on studying the knowledge of array glyphs, in the future, he could go to the spirit technology research and Development Department of Wangfang Trading Company to seek a position. 

He shifted his gaze and saw the small store next to the spirit technology product store. Before last week, this shop was just a milk tea shop with an average taste. He would occasionally come here to buy some fruit juice to drink, but later on, it closed down. Now, it seemed like a new shop had opened. 

‘Commonly Used Spell Trading Center?’ 

Sun Ming looked at the simple sign and silently muttered the name in his heart. There was a line of small words at the bottom. 

We accept cultivation methods, spells, spells, arrays, secret methods to identify and improve. The price will be excellent, and the intricacies will be discussed in detail. 

‘Hiss… is this for real? There’s actually someone who can improve a cultivation method? Why haven’t I heard of this before? This… won’t be a crime, right?’ 

Sun Ming naturally didn’t know that accepting and improving a cultivation method wasn’t a crime. 

But, basically, the cultivation method researchers with some ability were recruited by various large and small families to be cultivation method lecturers. Being able to change a cultivation method represented a deep understanding of the cultivation method, allowing the learner to grasp a cultivation method more quickly and completely. Moreover, after being recruited into the clan, it would be able to expand the clan’s cultivation method foundation. 

Using the explanation of the terms in the cultivation method editor, it was a cultivation method with four terms. When ordinary people started cultivating, because they did not have enough understanding, they would only be able to unlock the effects of the first two or three terms, and the later effects would only be perceived as one cultivated in depth and gradually understood. 

There were even more profound martial spells. Even if one could develop the effects of the entries, because one’s understanding was not deep enough, the effects of the blue entries could only be used with the power of the white entries. 

If there was a lecturer to explain this martial spells, then the person who practiced it would also grasp it as soon as possible. Of course, the prerequisite was that the lecturer who explained the martial spells had completely grasped the martial spells. 

While he was still skeptical, Sun Ming pushed open the door of the small shop and walked in. The interior was ordinary. Behind it was the cultivation room, and on the shelf in front of it were many spell books. The area was not big, and there were not many spell books. Perhaps it was because the shop had just opened, and it was not very popular, so it seemed a little deserted. 

The spirit collecting platform was on the right side of the door. A young man was crouching on the spirit collecting platform, writing and drawing. 

“Hello… Hello…” 

Zhou Ji raised his head and looked at the boy who was wearing glasses and looking a little timid. “If you want to learn spells, go and pick them yourself. After you pick them, take the spell book and register with me. After you register, you can go to the cultivation room at the back to practice.” 

“I… I want to inquire about the price of your improved cultivation method.” 

Sun Ming squeaked. 

Zhou Ji, who was standing in front of the mourning table, also raised his head to look at the child in surprise when he heard this. He didn’t expect that his first business in Heavenly Armor City No.. 1 would be to be a kid?
