The first floor of the Deep Space Technology Building is the reception hall.
Gu Jianlin was sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet in his hand, reading knowledge about the team's operations.
"The iced Coke you wanted."
Chen Qing walked over, bent down and placed a bottle of iced Coke in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "Sometimes I really have the illusion that I have another young master."
"Thanks."
Gu Jianlin was curious and said, "Sister Chen Qing, why did you call him Young Master?"
This title is quite strange in today's society.
Chen Qing sat next to him and said calmly: "Because I was an orphan when I was a child, and he picked me up. At that time, the Lu family didn't agree, so he raised me outside and raised me with pocket money."
Gu Jianlin was stunned: "Raised with pocket money? As expected of the Ascended Family, they are really rich."
In contrast, he is the only member of the Shengsheng family.
"Is such that."
Chen Qing flipped up her hair and looked at her phone screen to check her makeup.
"Are you childhood sweethearts... or lovers?"
Gu Jianlin asked.
Chen Qing shook his head and said: "We don't have that kind of relationship. He has someone he likes, but he is no longer there."
Gu Jianlin didn't expect to hear such a thing again, and fell into silence.
In the hall, there were many investigators and researchers coming and going, as well as many business staff.
"Hey, look at that person, is he the one who killed the clown?"
"A zero-level deformed degenerate who single-handedly killed a second-level one? I heard that the two mythical weapons are also on his body."
"Don't tell me, he's really handsome. Have you seen that photo? The one of him sitting in the ruins. I heard he is a rare autonomous awakener. Do you want me to ask for WeChat?"
"That's the son of the Fallen. If you go, I won't stop you."
"Well... forget it then."
Gu Jianlin listened to the whispers of those people and said nothing.
Ever since he came to the Deep Space Building and someone recognized him, his attitude has probably been like this.
In the Ether Association, fallen person is a very sensitive word.
Everyone hates everyone.
Even if he is not a degenerate himself, as long as he is connected, he will sit together.
"In the Ether Association, everyone has faith, and in their view, the fallen have tarnished their faith. Of course, some of them have been betrayed by the fallen, or their families have been betrayed. Those who are corrupt are killed. What’s more, they think that corruption is a gene, hidden in the blood.”
Chen Qing said euphemistically: "For example, the number one ranked Lei Lei, her parents died at the hands of the fallen."
Gu Jianlin said he understood.
Last time at the hospital, Jing Ci also mentioned the name Lei Lei and spoke highly of it.
At this time, the elevator door opened, and Lu Zi walked out of it with a dark face.
I saw him sitting down on the sofa, taking a bottle of mineral water and pouring it into his mouth, gurgling.
The bald parrot stood on his shoulder: "I'm so angry, these grandsons are bullying me too much!"
Seeing Linhu, Gu asked, "What happened?"
Lu Zicheng finished drinking the water and said angrily: "Oh, I really underestimated the lower limit of those grandchildren. I told you that if you join the Ether Association as a descendant of the fallen, you will definitely be targeted. If nothing happens, If something unexpected happens, you will most likely be the only member of our team."
Chen Qing frowned: "Could it be..."
Lu Zizheng agreed: "Yes, the trial court informed every investigator in Fengcheng about the clown incident. It was nominally a commendation. Xiao Gu's achievements were not mentioned much, but they emphasized that he was Professor Gu. son."
Chen Qing narrowed her beautiful eyes: "In other words, everyone knows."
"right."
Lu Zicheng hesitated for a moment: "No one wants to form a team with a descendant of a fallen person. Originally, I wanted to use the Lu family's resources to try to recruit a priest or an alchemist, but it all came to nothing. "
Gu Jianlin drank Coke silently and didn't say anything.
Although the Ether Association was indeed targeting him, it helped him in disguise.
Because he doesn't need teammates at all.
"I originally wanted you to be promoted to the first level as soon as possible."
Lu Zicheng sighed: "Now even the way to redeem meritorious service is blocked."
Gu Jianlin frowned: "What do you mean?"
Lu Zicheng said quietly: "You can take a look at the resource exchange library."
Gu Jianlin took out his mobile phone, logged into the Deep Space Network, and clicked on the resource exchange library.
Then he was happy.
"CMJ113 spiritual secret medicine, out of stock."
"No. A03 spiritual secret medicine is out of stock."
"The blood of graphite is out of stock."
"Crimson wine, out of stock."
Basically, all the spiritual secret medicines are out of stock.
Gu Jianlin's meritorious service can currently only be exchanged for some alchemical weapons.
Or some special services.
For example, one-on-one psychological counseling from priests.
Another example is the protection of family members with one thousand meritorious services per month.
"Those services are all IQ taxes. I have already said hello to my family."
Lu Zicheng said: "From now on, the Lu family will be personally responsible for the safety of your family."
"Thanks."
Gu Jianlin was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Is it so obvious?"
Lu Zicheng said with a straight face: "It wasn't so obvious before, but since I helped you submit your report, they will naturally target you. Of course, even if you don't submit that report, when you decide After participating in this cleanup mission, they will also become wary and wonder if you want to commit a crime for your father."
"In short, although the Aether Association is not all like this, the style of the Tribunal is indeed disgusting."
He paused: "I have signed up to participate in this clearing mission in the name of the team, but because of the nature of the mission, we captains will not act with you, you can only rely on yourself. Of course, you have the clown With those two mythical weapons, self-protection should be no problem, but if you want to compete with other teams for merit..."
Gu Jianlin thought that was great.
There are too many secrets about him.
Whether it's two mythical weapons or ancient deifications.
They are not suitable for teammates to watch.
Moreover, he is now at the first level, and there is an alchemist in Qilin Immortal Palace.
There is no need to worry about the resources for promotion.
As for the priest's treatment, it is even more accumulated for him.
First of all, the priest path can use the fire of the divine sacrifice to absorb life force and restore itself.
In terms of resources, there is a fourth-level alchemist in the ancient tomb.
Suddenly, Gu Jianlin's cell phone rang with a notification from the Deep Space Network.
"Hello, respected D-class investigator Gu Jianlin, your team has participated in this large-scale hunting mission. Please bring your equipment and supplies and assemble in the front hall of the Deep Space Technology Building immediately."
A moment later, the building's elevator rang again, and the numbers on the screen dropped rapidly.
"People from other teams are coming. There are six teams in total."
Lu Zicheng said calmly: "They are basically elites."
Gu Jianlin nodded slightly. He suddenly thought that he had not tested his abilities since he was promoted to Commander.
It is said that for a first-level priest, the range of life perception can be expanded to 25 meters.
This distance was just right for him to test it out.
At that moment, he emptied his mind, his mind went blank, and his seventh sense was activated.
For a moment, the noisy and chaotic melody of life sounded in my ears, as if I was in a sea of noise!
Gu Jianlin's hand shook and the coke almost spilled all over him.
Because at this moment, he seemed to hear the melody of life in the entire building!

The atmosphere in the spacious elevator was extremely depressing.
Lin Wanqiu put her hands in the pockets of her white coat, her charming face expressionless.
The other captains are also extremely serious.
A middle-aged man glanced down at his watch and said in a cold voice: "This operation cheers me up. If problems like last time happen again, you can all get out of here. Do you understand? "
Cheng Youyu stood in the corner, shrank his head and said: "Second uncle... ah no, captain. Just don't worry, it was force majeure last time. Who knew clowns had such things as undead Gu? This time it will be absolutely foolproof. "
"Shut up now."
Someone muttered: "Last time you said it was foolproof, but it turned over."
"Yes, Brother Cheng, please accept your magical powers and stop breastfeeding."
Someone else said: "If we weren't lucky last time, we would all be dead."
Cheng Youyu said with a dark face: "Is that my milk? Then the clown is too difficult to deal with!"
In the corner, Nie Xiangsi stood timidly at the end, holding a tablet in his hand.
There was a photo on the screen of an intact chair among the collapsed ruins.
The blood-stained boy sat on a chair, with a dead body at his feet.
"Brother Youyu."
Nie Xiangsi said softly: "He is the one who saved us, right?"
Cheng Youyu turned around and said with an apologetic smile: "Yes, Sister Xiangsi, that's him. Gu Jianlin, in our Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School, I even copied his papers during the exam. We have a good relationship."
Nie Xiangsi was silent for a moment and said, "It turns out that he is also an ascendant."
"I didn't know it was him before."
Cheng Youyu asked, "What's wrong?"
Nie Xiangsi minimized the picture and clicked on the task list this time.
"It seems that he is also involved in this operation."
She hesitated: "And he is the only one in his team."
Cheng Youyu was stunned for a moment and saw that lonely, familiar name on the list.
"Damn it, it seems like it's really him."

At the same time, the sound of foam rolling could be heard in the dark laboratory.
In the copper cauldron burning with fire, the blood-colored liquid surged like magma, surging and surging.
A rickety pharmacist looked at this scene with extremely fanatical eyes.
"tutor."
A young man stood next to him and swallowed: "With this, can we survive?"
"Although only one drop cannot transform us into a divine servant, it is enough to delay our lives."
The pharmacist licked his lips: "This is a gift from the gods."
The young man was silent for a moment and then asked: "Teacher, here is a question. What if we really took the blood of the ancient gods and transformed into servants of the gods? Wouldn't we become the slaves of the supreme one? We are too weak. , if He had no way out of trouble, He would not have chosen us. We gained life, but lost our freedom."
He paused: "Even if He wants to kill us, it's all in the blink of an eye."
"My student, why are you so stupid?"
The pharmacist smiled and said, "Do you think we have so many secret medicines in stock, including a lot of super-dimensional spiritual secret medicines, so why do we take the risk of offending Him and only give Him a dozen low-level secret medicines?" Where’s the medicine?”
The scholar was stunned.
"If we provide too much spirituality at once, I can't be sure when He will get out of trouble. On the contrary, if we give Him spiritual secret medicine little by little, we can always take the initiative. Although He is the Supreme, he is overwhelmed by the more powerful Lord Zhulong is imprisoned, and in order to stabilize us, he has no choice but to provide the blood of the ancient god, do you understand?"
The pharmacist explained: "Quality is the key! You are my nephew, as long as we can survive, it is enough. As for Siren Butcher and Yue Ji, they are not important. Lord Qilin is trapped in the Immortal Palace, even if we become Even if we become God's Attendants, he can't cross the two worlds and control us who become God's Attendants. As long as we don't go back, we will be safe."
"This is the wisdom of the teacher. You still have a long way to go."
He smiled and said: "What will happen when the seal of Qilin Immortal Palace disappears completely and the people from the Ether Association enter?"
The scholar suddenly realized: "That's it! Teacher, you are so smart!"
