The next day, Chen Xing slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. After rolling on the bed for a while, he found the bell on the bedside table and shook it. After a few minutes, the double oak doors were pushed open, and the head maid walked in while pushing the wash trolley.
There is a copper basin for washing your face, towels and toothbrushes in the car. After washing up on the bed, the maid brought freshly ironed clothes.
"Master, the indoor temperature today is 38 degrees. It is recommended to wear summer clothes." Jian Yue Canglian said.
Inside the mahogany clothes holder were a white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of beige casual shorts sewn with several large pockets.
Chen Xing nodded. It's summer and it's easy to sweat if you wear too much.
"This set of clothes was bought in Ice Blue City, Jungle Adventurer Series. Although it is last year's style, I think it suits the owner very well. If it feels loose or narrow somewhere, I will go to a tailor to change it, but I don't know. Is there a suitable tailor here?”
Jian Yue Canglian said as she dressed Chen Xing. The technique is skillful, and the white fingers are like jumping elves, which makes the dressing feel like playing the piano.
After getting dressed, Chen Xing ignored the leather shoes Ye Qian held in his hand and put on the flip-flops under the bed. He still likes to relax at home, and he can't stand wearing suits and leather boots on hot days.
This pair of slippers was of rough workmanship. I didn’t know where I found them from a street stall. Jian Yue Cang Lian's expression remained as usual, as if she hadn't seen the pair of slippers that were very inconsistent with the owner's identity. As a palace maid, she was taught to cater to her master's every preference, whether it was food, clothing or anything else. As for whether it's decent or not, that's something the housekeeper needs to think about.
Ye Qian couldn't help laughing. Although she pursed her lips and tried her best to hide it, as long as her IQ was normal, she could be seen smiling.
It is disrespectful for a maid to laugh at her master's taste. Normally, as the head maid, Jian Yue Cang Lian would have reprimanded her, but today she remained silent, as if she didn't notice, and probably felt that the slippers were disgraceful.
"Why are you laughing? I don't know. These shoes are comfortable to wear." Chen Xing said unhappily. For this pair of flip-flops, he even asked Xiao Yang to go to the slums several times.
They are not sold in big shopping malls in the city and can only be found in poor places. I really don’t know what the rich people in this world think. They don’t promote anything as comfortable as flip-flops. Later, he wanted an entire workshop dedicated to the production of flip-flops. There were all kinds of flip-flops. In addition to wearing them himself, he could also give them away.
Because of the slippers, he suddenly thought of Mayor Bert, the man obsessed with roast duck. He could suddenly understand the other person and his desire to share good things with others.
"Mayor Burt is truly a noble man."
The master suddenly said something out of nowhere, and the three maids were stunned.
Then, under the dull eyes of the maids, Chen Xing kicked his flip-flops and left the bedroom, going down the double curved staircase in the middle to the front hall.
"There are no guests today, where would the master like to dine?"
Old K, who had been waiting there for a long time, stepped forward and asked. According to aristocratic tradition, if there are guests staying overnight, the host should dine with the guests in the restaurant, but if there are no guests, it is much more casual. In addition to the dinner in the evening, it can be in the side hall, study, or in the back garden, depending on the owner's preference.
Chen Xing lay down on the sofa and said, "Let's eat here."
Not long after, Lao K delivered a variety of breakfasts. There are preserved egg and lean meat porridge, soy milk fried dough sticks, green onion pancakes from the Eastern Continent, and ham and fried eggs, milk, tomato and cheese braised macaroni, toast, etc. from the Western Continent.
At this time, the maids who had come to their senses followed and waited on their master to eat.
Chen Xing picked half a piece of scallion pancake and milk, and Lao K sent the rest back to the kitchen, where the cook and maid would digest them later.
"Master, the ingredients here are scarce, many dishes cannot be prepared, and the climate is harsh and the quality of life is low. It is not recommended to live there for a long time. In the future, if conditions permit, it is better to move to live along the Ambergris River. This will be better for the master's health. "
While eating, Jian Yue Canglian suggested. It is the duty of a palace maid to take care of her master's health.
"Well..." Chen Xing did not answer directly. After a while, the two women started to quarrel. Along the Ambergris River was the Shura Field. Even if there was no war, they would fight openly and secretly, and various bloodshed incidents occurred one after another. But he couldn't say this clearly, and he couldn't attack the head maid's feelings, so the best way was to be vague, neither denying nor affirming.
After breakfast, Lao K came to report that the guest Qin Gui was waiting in the side hall and wanted to talk to the owner about something.
"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Qin Gui is a friend of Old Monster Hei, and he used to be a retainer in the Yang family. While Chen Xing was on the run, he killed the people sent by the Yang family to hunt Chen Xing, and then joined Chen Xing's sect with the black old monster. Now he lives in a small building near the mansion and is worshiped as a guest of the Chen family. Ever since the old black monster was seriously injured and dying and degenerated into a living corpse, he has been taking care of the other party's daughter.
"Master, you're welcome. Qin Guicai just arrived, but he disturbed the master's rest."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, then sat down to talk about business.
"Xiaoying has told me several times recently that she wants to open a Holy Light Church school in the town, so that children of refugees can have a place to study, and at the same time, she can promote the gospel of the Holy Light Church."
The "Xiao Ying" in Qin Gui's mouth is Guo Ying, the daughter of Hei Laoguai. Hei Laoguai's real name and surname is Guo, with the single word "Bing".
The old monster Hei was from the Eastern Continent. While he was away practicing, his enemies came to him and killed his family. His daughter Guo Ying was sold to the Red Earth Continent. The old black monster pursued all the way to Gray Corner City. It was the Yang family that bought Guo Ying back then. After learning the purpose of the black monster, in order to force him to serve the Yang family, the head of the Yang family secretly sent Guo Ying to the Holy Light Church in Gray Corner City to hide him so that he could always control the black monster. Later, the Yang family was destroyed, and the Holy Light Church lost its financial backer. Naturally, Guo Ying was no longer restricted, and the hard-fought father and daughter were reunited.
Guo Ying stayed in the Holy Light Church for many years and became a devout Holy Light believer under the influence.
"School education is the foundation for regional development. This proposal is very good. I support it. The town's finances will be used to spend whatever amount is needed." Chen Xing agreed. Not to mention his relationship with the black old monster, it is also beneficial to the development of Orchid Town. Moreover, the state religion of the Red Dragon Principality is the Holy Light Church, and it can also build a relationship, so why not?
"The family owner doesn't need to worry about the finances. Orchid Town has been developing rapidly recently, and the Holy Light Church is also happy to come and set up schools and spread the gospel."
The population in poor areas is sparse, so it is of little significance to develop believers. However, if Orchid Town develops and the population density reaches a certain level, the church will be very happy to invest. Because there are more people, it means there are more believers who can develop, and with more believers, the donation amount will naturally increase.
"Well then, let them do it. We will cooperate fully." Chen Xing agreed.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for helping me." Qin Gui clasped his fists in thanks.
"Why are you thanking me? If you two elders hadn't saved me back then, I'm afraid there would be no Chen Xing in the world." Chen Xing said seriously. This sentence comes from the sincerity and is not adulterated at all. He thinks he is not a good person, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, fearing death and rejoicing in life, but he is also a person who knows how to repay kindness. If others are good to him, he will also be good to others.
"The head of the family made a strong statement." Qin Gui took back his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing..."
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked with concern.
Qin Gui was silent for a while, then suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "That day my old friend broke into the coffin and left, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Qin is very concerned about it. He wants to ask for some time off from the family head to look for his old friend. If he wakes up, If it's gone, bring it back. If it's still crazy and stupid, you can take care of it for a while."
Listening to Mr. Qin's words, Chen Xing's eyes showed that face that was as dry and cold as a corpse, and he thought of the fiery heart underneath that sinister expression.
Chen Xing subconsciously took out the dagger from the storage space and polished the carved wooden handle.
"This is a protective weapon that I carry with me. It's called 'Jianchang'. It was made by Jiang Liang, a famous craftsman from the Eastern Continent. The rune master Song Jie personally engraved the rune circuits. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like clay... "
This old man with a cold face and a kind heart is really unforgettable.
"Go and be safe." Chen Xing sighed.
"Thank you, head of the family!" Qin Gui said, cupping his fists.
After Qin Gui left, Chen Xing gradually calmed down and put the dagger back into the storage space.
"Maidmaid, come to my bedroom."
Jian Yue Canglian followed Chen Xing to the bedroom and closed the door.
"I'm going to break through in the ant nest. You'll stay here and let me know if anything happens... Hey, why are you blushing? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"No, no."
Seeing Yue Cang Lian's ears felt hot. She originally thought that her master was going to be lucky, but she didn't expect that it was serious business, and she immediately blushed.
"It's fine if not." Chen Xing said as he opened the elevator door. Soon we went down to the entrance of the ant nest and got on the car pulled by the worker ants.
The corridor is winding and winding, the cave walls are as hard as stone, and the noise of the wheels is much louder.
Chen Xing thought about how to eliminate the noise and build a new ant car. A bright green light appeared in front of him and he entered a large underground cave.
There are piles of insect eggs scattered on the ground, emitting a bright green light, and some of them emit a faint golden light.
It is not difficult to see that this is the egg-laying chamber of the queen ant. When the egg shell is fully exposed to the air and becomes smooth and hard, it will be transported to the incubator by the worker ants for further incubation.
The ones that emit a bright green light are ordinary insect eggs, while the ones that emit a pale golden light are high-grade insect eggs produced by Suna after absorbing the gold sand in the Devil's Pot. The hatched termites will be stronger.
The spectrum of psychic energy appears blue, and when the energy density reaches a certain level, the spectrum appears golden. The Devil's Pot draws energy directly from the void, and its energy density is naturally higher than the original universe.
Suna is a combination of the Abyss Ant Queen and a human. Her affinity for psychic energy is far greater than that of ordinary humans, and even stronger than humans with alien bloodlines. Therefore, she can directly absorb the energy overflowing from the Devil's Pot.
"Brother, you are here~"
A cheerful voice sounded in his mind, but the huge body in the darkness moved deeper.
Since learning more human knowledge, Suna has also begun to feel ashamed, ashamed to let her dear brother see her ugly appearance.
Chen Xing didn't care. He was an invincible man who could see the sun and the sun. He had already enjoyed that crystal mouth when Su Na was half-human and half-ant. There was nothing else that was not in his diet.
He even felt that the queen ant form was not bad, and that swollen belly seemed to have a different kind of temptation...
Thinking of Suna's eyes filled with tears, wanting to avoid but not daring, shivering, enduring the pain and forcing a smile, evil fire emerged from the bottom of her heart.
No, he is not here to have fun today, but to do serious business!
Thinking of this, he extinguished the evil fire in his heart, walked around the crypt, and found a cave. Let the worker ants clean it up, then sit cross-legged and remove the suitcase from the storage space.
"Crack!"
Open the lid of the box and golden light flows out.
"Brother, what is this? It looks delicious."
Suna's curious voice sounded in her mind.
"It's not a snack. You are not allowed to eat it, or you will be punished." Chen Xing said. This is a gold-liquid potion worth millions. If Su Na eats it as a snack, she will lose everything.
"Oh~" Su Na responded obediently.
For Su Na, Chen Xing's words were imperial edict. As long as her brother said she couldn't eat it, she wouldn't eat it.
"Next, I need to inject medicine to advance to a higher level, so don't disturb me."
"Okay~"
After giving the instructions, Chen Xing took out a gold-liquid potion and put the rest in the corner. Then he tore off the sealed aluminum foil and pulled off the cap to reveal the injection needle.
He took a deep breath, said "Come on" to himself, then plunged into the thigh vein and injected all the golden liquid.
In an instant, the spiritual sea surged, and tiny golden sands fell from the sky. Each one was like the sand of time falling from an hourglass, thinning into threads, and gradually dispersed during the falling process, turning into golden powder all over the sky.
Above the spiritual sea, nine huge runes representing danger perception, charged shot, charge impact, trio, fire immunity, psychic compression, memory retrieval, short-distance teleportation, and mirror clone bloomed with golden light.
The White Wolf King took a big breath, and countless golden sand rolled into his mouth, and the hair on his body glowed with color.
The golden sand falls into the sea and condenses into golden light that spreads like ripples.
"call……"
In the cave, Chen Xing, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, exhaled a breath of energy. Like smoke and mist, there are dots of golden light inside, like fireflies flying, gradually sinking into the surrounding soil.
However, as more and more golden sand fell, strong winds rose on the sea surface, huge waves roared and rolled, the sky gradually darkened, and blood-red cracks spread out like spider webs.
"Ouch..."
The White Wolf King looked up to the sky and roared. The gold powder he had inhaled turned into bone-corrosive poison.
Green smoke rose from the fur, and large areas of flesh and blood burned and peeled off, revealing dense white bones.
The nine runes vibrated violently and made a crackling sound.
The turmoil in the spiritual sea reflects reality. Dots of golden smoke overflowed from the seven holes of the mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, and a hint of dark red lurked inside, expanding as time went by.
The smell of blood in the cave became stronger and stronger, and Chen Xing frowned, seeming to be in great pain.
"vomit……"
His chest surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Brother, what's wrong with you!"
Su Na noticed something strange and hurriedly moved her huge body. Thousands of jointed legs began to dance and she ran towards the cave.
"You, why are you bleeding!"
"Ah, there was so much blood!"
In Yinglu's vision, Chen Xing's body seemed like a cracked stone statue. The cracks continued to spread, and countless golden light and blood leaked out.
In desperation, Su Na, in the form of a queen ant, opened her mouth and swallowed Chen Xing.
The next second, Chen Xing appeared above the green forest and plummeted down. On the ground, countless vines burst out of the ground, caught his body, and then wrapped him layer by layer.
The overflowing gold sand was quickly absorbed by the vines attached to the skin, and the spread of the cracks was immediately slowed down.
Before long, the golden sand was absorbed and the cracks began to gradually heal.
The violent energy was drained away, and the spiritual sea returned to calm. Chen Xing slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath. It seemed that becoming an advanced lord was more difficult and dangerous than he imagined. I almost got seriously injured after just trying a little bit today. If Suna hadn't sucked him into the realm in time and sucked away the overflowing spiritual energy, with his physique, he would have been lying in bed for at least ten days and a half.
The advanced lord is not simply like the advanced guard, it is not simply about breaking through the bottleneck, but it is about sensing the existence of the earth's veins.
The meaning of building a tower is to climb high and look far away.
When the spiritual power reaches a certain level, the existence of earth veins can be sensed. The stronger the spiritual power, the easier it is to sense it, just like seeing farther from a high platform.
But everyone has different talents and different limits. If the "tower" is not high enough, a temporary structure will be built.
Using the gold-flowing potion is to set up a temporary structure, reach sufficient strength in a short period of time, and then sense the existence of earth veins.
It is generally believed that an evolver with a spiritual power of more than 120 can sense the earth veins with only a few tributary golden potions, while an evolver with a spiritual power of more than 145 can sense the earth veins directly.
Ye Yang Bailiu, whose spiritual power is as high as 183, can solve the problem by himself without the help of external force.
Chen Xing's spiritual power is only seventy-five, so this temporary frame must be set up very high.
Even elementary school students know that temporary structures are not reliable and the higher they are built, the more dangerous they become.
And light sensing is not enough, you also need to connect to the earth's veins, absorb the fire from the center of the earth, and then use the fire from the center of the earth to open a shadow pool. Only by completing this process can one truly enter the lord-level palace.
This means that this temporary frame must not only be erected, but also must withstand a long enough period of time.
"Take your time, one point of genius requires ninety-nine points of hard work..."
"Anyway, I have a lot of money. If ten is not enough, then twenty is enough. If twenty is not enough..."
"Then a hundred!"
"Sooner or later, there will always be a breakthrough."
Chen Xing comforted himself like this.
He remembered that a famous person on earth said, "When you climb to the top of the pyramid, the snail and the eagle see the same scenery."
Without the talent of an eagle, one cannot soar into the sky, just like a snail, crawling perseveringly, one step at a time. Sooner or later, I will climb to the top of the pyramid and see the same scenery as the eagle.
