The improvement of realm is inevitable. In addition to cultivation, the biggest gain for Shen Qian in the past two months is probably his mental growth.
Regarding the restricted area, Shen Qian saw many different scenery, such as upside-down waterfalls, twisted canyons, monster beasts fighting each other for territory, and even a group of monster beasts that were very close to humans.
According to Shen Qian's observation, there are not many monsters that actively attack humans. Most of them are caused by battles caused by human warriors stepping into their territory.
The only regret was probably that the trip was in a hurry, otherwise the place Shen Qian wanted to go the most was actually the seaside.
Not only because of an inland child's natural yearning for the ocean, but also because I heard that the ocean is a completely different realm. Eighty percent of the risks in the restricted area after the spiritual energy is revived are above the ocean.
"A true warrior's journey is through the stars and the sea."
This is not just a poem, but a realistic description of the current situation.
There are relatively few mountain and sea warriors in restricted areas on land, because most of the tyrannical people have gone to the sea.
Also, about the “door”…
There were no surprises in this experience. During this period, Shen Qian had been paying attention to the situation in Jingcheng, but everything turned out to be calm afterwards, as if all the White Walkers that had appeared before were wiped out by Zhulong's sneeze.
However, Shen Qian sometimes felt that he was overthinking. With the big boss here, what could happen?
Even if there was no unexpected factor like Zhulong that day, I think the teacher would be able to easily resolve the crisis.
If there's anyone I haven't seen much during this experience, it's probably the scavengers.
It seems that the scavengers he hunted in the garbage dump before Shen were just an illusion. At least there are no traces of any scavengers within a hundred or two hundred kilometers around Jingcheng.
As for why Shen Qian was so sure, it was because he had discovered a long time ago that the system seemed to have some kind of incomprehensible enmity with scavengers. Whenever scavengers appeared around, it would trigger the system's stress response.
Basically, they are all driven to death.
But this time, apart from completing the night bounty, the system hardly took any action. From this perspective, the raids against scavengers by military warriors and town police warriors were relatively successful.
Finally, there were the bounty tasks from the Martial Arts Association. Shen Qian didn't deliberately rush to complete them. Those rewards were just that. Today, Shen Qian is no longer so interested in bounties after dusk.
During the past two months, although he was walking outside, there was no signal from his bracelet most of the time. But occasionally when he passed by some towns, Shen Qian would still receive a text message from the bank about the arrival of his account.
Shi Dingyan was still very concerned about Shen Qian's affairs, and he helped Shen Qian get rid of the candle snake corpses one after another. About seven or eight of them had been sold.
Ding dong!
At this moment, Shen Qian's bracelet vibrated again.
"Your bank card with the last number 1024 has a credit of 8,960,000 yuan in Chinese currency and a balance of 112,729,382.80 yuan. Dear Mr. Shen, our bank’s latest launch..."
Shen Qian took it out and took a look. The balance on it had exceeded 100 million.
If one hundred million is left untouched in the bank, the interest alone will be around six million a year.
Money is always the fastest way to make money, which is why Shen Qian asked Yuan You to take care of his property.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
Shen Qian looked at the electronic screen next to him and saw that it was his fifth senior brother Ling Xiao who was visiting.
Shen Qian opened the door and walked out to greet him.
"Fifth Senior Brother, are you in Jingcheng?"
Shen Qian was a little surprised.
"Well, I've been here for a while, but I'm leaving soon."
Ling Xiao nodded, "After your college entrance banquet, I will leave."
Shen Qian smiled sheepishly when he heard this. This so-called promotion banquet refers to the banquet inside the Tower of Babel. Probably only his senior brothers and some people from the academy will attend. In fact, it is Shen Qian's practice banquet.
Originally, Shen Qian didn't want to make a big fuss, but after hearing that this was decided by the teacher, he couldn't have any objections.
The time was seven days later, which happened to be the first day of September. Shi Dingyan had already looked at the calendar. It was a good day to see him off and travel far away.
"I came here to tell you that my senior brother asked me to bring a message, saying that he was busy with something, and he still couldn't make it back this time. Please let me say sorry to you."
Ling Xiao said, "Besides, he said that he will give it to you as a gift for your further education at a suitable time in the future."
"Ah, senior brother, why are you so polite? Fifth senior brother, please tell me that the gift is no longer needed!"
Shen Qian quickly waved his hand.
Although he had never met the legendary senior brother, according to Shi Dingyan, he had actually stood up for him twice.
Ling Xiao smiled and said nothing. He didn't know what he thought of, but his expression was a little strange.
"Also, Second Senior Sister may not come, but...she said she would wait for you in the river."
"Huh?" Shen Qian was startled and said in confusion, "Jiangzhong? Is Second Senior Sister in Jiangzhong?"
"I don't know what she means. Our second senior sister...cough, forget it, you will know later."
I don't know if it was Shen Qian's illusion, but there seemed to be a fleeting sympathy in Ling Xiao's eyes when she looked at him.
Shen Qian was a little confused when he saw that Ling Xiao didn't mean to explain and it was difficult to ask. However, he heard that there was still a thigh in the river, which made Shen Qian feel relieved a lot.
He had vaguely pondered before, whether to trick Lao Liu into going to the river to accompany him to study... As for thighs, there is never too much.
After all, Dao Jiu sometimes has trouble with his brain, and Shen Qian is still a little worried.
There are big bosses in Jingcheng who have high positions, but in the wider Jiangzhong City, it is no longer Shen Qian's home court.
"Huh?"
When Shen Qian was distracted, Ling Xiao suddenly narrowed his eyes, and then pulled Shen to the training room without any explanation.
A confused Shen Qian was pulled into the training room. Without any preparation, Ling Xiao suddenly raised his fingers and made a light stroke, and the terrifying sword energy rushed towards Shen Qian.
laugh!
Shen Qian reacted quickly and dodged in time. A deep plow mark was carved into the ground that should have been extremely hard.
Ling Xiao didn't give up, as if the sword strike just now was just a reminder to Shen Qian. Shen Qian had just stood firm when an even more powerful sword energy surged over him.
After two months of practice, Shen Qian got into the groove right away.
His eyes sharpened, and with a movement of his body, he transformed into afterimages, which instantly penetrated the extremely small gaps and appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
boom!
An ear-piercing sonic boom sounded in the air. Shen Qian's body was still raising his hand, but in fact, his fist had already hit Ling Xiao's face.
Unfortunately, what was left behind in the place was an afterimage of Ling Xiao. Shen Qian's punch missed. The violent force made it difficult for Shen Qian to stop his attack, so he could only punch the floor.
Spider web-like cracks spread, and the force of a punch weighing ten thousand kilograms seemed to make the entire Tower of Babel tremble slightly.
A thin layer of golden light appeared silently all around, wrapping the entire training room and blocking out all movement.
Without any scruples, the two people went back and forth in this narrow space of 100 meters square, and started fighting wildly. In just tens of seconds, they had already fought back and forth hundreds of times.
At a certain moment, the sword energy suddenly stopped. Shen Qian, who was in high spirits, noticed that Ling Xiao had stopped moving and quickly stopped.
"Fifth Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Ling Xiao still raised his hand slightly, but looked a little dazed, Shen Qian couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Junior brother, you... are very good."
Ling Xiao came back to his senses with a complicated look on his face, "I almost couldn't help but draw my sword just now."
Shen Qian heard this as a very high praise, even though Ling Xiao was carrying a seemingly ordinary wooden sword.
But Lingxiao is definitely not an ordinary mountain and sea.
"The speed of your progress is really terrifying. Every time I see you, I have a different feeling. An ordinary martial artist is no match for you."
Ling Xiao commented with great emotion.
"What about... Shanhai?"
Shen Qian asked curiously.
When they were still in the restricted area, Shen Qian wanted to practice with Dao Jiu, but later he discovered that due to the existence of the prince's contract, Dao Jiu had no way to fight against Shen Qian, so Shen Qian had no choice but to give up.
"Mountains and seas?" Ling Xiao glanced at Shen Qian unexpectedly, and said with a smile, "You're quite high-spirited... Well, if you are a newbie to mountains and seas, you can probably cope with a few moves."
He was not disappointed with Ling Xiao's evaluation.
In the previous discussion, Ling Xiao was actually very restrained, but why wasn't Shen Qian the same?
Moreover, "Shadow Blade" is a serious killing technique and is not suitable for use in sparring.
"Chang Qing has just 'achieved'. If you are really curious, you can give him a try." Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Sixth made a breakthrough?" Shen Qian had just learned about this. He was surprised when he heard this, and then turned around in confusion, "Why didn't I see him when I came back?"
"Well, it was just two days ago, but it became a little more rampant during the breakthrough, and now it's underground." Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
Shen Qian immediately didn't bother to ask, and he wasn't even that surprised.
For Lao Liu, this is just a routine operation.
…
After sending Ling Xiao away, Shen Qian returned to the studio.
Looking back on the fight just now, Shen Qian was quite satisfied with his performance. He was sure that the fifth senior brother was by no means an ordinary person, and not anyone would have the courage to take action against him.
After thinking for a while, Shen Qian took out the golden ball.
Although you can still log in in restricted areas, the existence of the Hundred Kings Palace must be kept secret due to rules, and Shen Qian still has to avoid Yuan You who is always clinging to him.
Speaking of which, I haven't been online for two months.
I don’t know if anything big has happened recently.
After the familiar trance passed, he opened his eyes again and saw that Shen Qian was already sitting on the throne.
In less than two seconds, a tall figure appeared beside Shen Qian, it was Wan Ning.
"Mr. Shen, the dedicated waiter Wan Ning will serve you... I haven't seen you for a long time."
Wan Ning, who was wearing a black suspender skirt, said hello and bowed, which was so white that it was dazzling.
Shen Qian secretly cursed himself as a stinker and turned his gaze slightly, "Open the martial arts forum for me first."
Before he went offline last time, Shen Qian still picked two posts with a contribution value of more than 30 points and responded to them. In addition, two months have passed, and his previous replies may have been read by others, so they should still be available. There are some gains.
"Contribution value balance: 987 points."
After taking a glance at his personal information, Shen Qian nodded slightly.
Last time, he spent nearly 500 contribution points to buy elixirs, and he still had more than 500 points left. It had increased by 400 points in two months, which was actually not bad.
After all, after the first wave of popularity, there will be far fewer people paying attention to him in the future.
Moreover, there are actually not many people in the Hundred Kings Palace itself.
Ding ding ding!
When the alert sounded, Shen Qian glanced at the private message with "99+" in the lower right corner, then clicked it and read it.
The contents of the private messages are almost the same as last time. They are either asking Shen Qian to reply, or they are guessing his identity, and some want to discuss with him privately, especially a person who can punch 80,000 kilograms. Eager, sending messages to Shen Qian almost every day.
In addition, there is a suspected female warrior with an ID named "Venus" who sends a lot of private messages.
Shen Qian still had some impression of her. The first post about "Do you want to try how soft Shanhai's waist is?" was posted by her. In addition, Shen Qian's earliest reply to a request for help regarding the ancient martial art "Black Bone" was also posted by her. of.
"Venus" also sent dozens of private messages to Shen Qian, and there was actually a picture behind them.
The picture was taken against the light, so you can't see anything clearly. You can only see the outline of a woman with extremely amazing curves, who may or may not be wearing any clothes.
The content of the private messages has always been about "whether to make an appointment or not".
Shen Qian shook his head and closed the dialog box. At this time, he was very sober. A genius warrior could not be so "hungry". The other party most likely had something in mind.
After thinking about it, Shen Qian decided not to reply for the time being.
Firstly, he has no shortage of contribution value for the time being, and secondly, when it is time to be low-key, it is better to be low-key.
After exiting the martial arts discussion forum and saying hello to Wan Ning, Shen Qian decided to take a look at the community. After all, he hadn't been online for a long time, so don't miss any big news.
The creation of the "Heaven-Seizing Array" was actually gossip from the community.
After his eyes flashed, Shen Qian appeared in the wide hall with the starry sky as the top.
At a glance, it was quite lively today, with at least more than thirty people sitting on the thrones.
Everyone was discussing something heatedly, but Shen Qian's online presence still attracted some people's attention.
"Hey, rare visitor, isn't this our newbie No. 98?"
A somewhat familiar female voice sounded, it was No. 9 who had often teased Shen Qian before.
"You haven't shown up for so long, I almost thought you were kicked out of the Hundred Kings Palace!"
Next to him, No. 97 Zhao Keyi also smiled.
Just as Shen Qian was about to answer, suddenly, a beam of light came directly from the top of his head and enveloped him.
Shen Qian was startled, but before he could react, a cold voice without emotion sounded throughout the hall.
"According to the decision of the Star Council, from today, temporary member No. 98 will officially become the core member of the Hundred Kings Palace!"
Core members?
Shen Qian quickly calmed down, but the surprise in his heart did not diminish at all.
When Wan Ning first joined the club, he told him the rules. Only by achieving great achievements before the age of 30 can he become a true core member.
What's going on now?
