…
After riding a horse back to the estate of Takeyama Ying's family, Xue Jing went to the indoor swimming pool to relax for an hour, and his [Swimming] experience value increased by 129.
Zhu Shanying was not there. Although she had asked Xue Jing to accompany her for horseback riding every day three days, in reality Xue Jing rarely saw her and no one knew what he was busy with.
After swimming, Xue Jing took a shower and took a car back home.
"Teacher Wan?"
After entering the door, Xue Jing shouted, but got no response.
I looked everywhere but couldn't find her. It seemed that Maomao had gone out. Maybe those people from the Dragon Cult came looking for her again.
Xue Jing took out his cell phone and planned to call his sister Xue Wan to tell her that he would be going to Fengcheng in a few days.
But just after I entered the number and before I dialed it, my phone vibrated and a call came from an unknown number.
Xue Jing picked it up directly.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
A calm, mature female voice came from the receiver.
"Captain Void Blade..."
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows.
"Did you change your number?"
Xu Ren said: "No, I called you using an encrypted communication channel."
"I won't talk nonsense anymore. I'm here to ask you to do something..."
"Is it related to the border area?"
"yes."
Xue Jing's eyes moved, and he changed his position on the sofa. After thinking for a while, he said:
"You can tell me... But I have to tell you in advance that I may not accept it."
Xu Ren said calmly: "I understand, please listen to me first before making a decision."
"Three days ago, someone reported that a new border was discovered in the area north of the Fifth Metropolitan Circle..."
"Because it is not within the urban area and beyond our observation range, we don't know when this junction was formed."
"After receiving the news, the agency ordered the White Crow stationed nearby to go in first and find out the situation..."
"But... I can't get in."
Xue Jing asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Because the rules don't allow it." Xu Ren explained.
"The borderland is something that was born from the fusion of the real world and the other world. The rules within it will undergo strange changes in the confusion of the two worlds, resulting in all kinds of chaotic rules that are difficult to understand."
"White Crow conducted many tests starting three days ago, and only yesterday did it measure the entry conditions of this junction."
Void Blade paused, then continued, "There are two conditions for entry. One is that the biological age is under 18 years old, and the other is still unclear, but it should be a 'natural creature'."
"Hmm?" Xue Jing was speechless.
"Natural creatures... You mean people whose bodies haven't been modified in any way?"
Void Blade hummed, "Not bad... It's not clear yet if this is the exact condition, but according to current tests, people with xenografts, or those who have taken banned drugs or undergone 'super surgery' are not allowed to enter."
Xue Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't there any special talent within the agency who can deal with this kind of situation?"
"Of course."
Void Blade said.
"The Special Service Department has a special unit composed of martial artists to deal with martial artists who commit crimes. It's called 'Zhi Ge' and there are many people who practice traditional martial arts in it..."
"The problem is that Zhi Ge and Bai Ya... don't have a good relationship."
I see.
Xue Jing roughly understood it.
"This time the situation is special. In order not to bow to Zhi Ge, the higher-ups gave me the authority to pay you the commission in advance."
Void Blade spoke.
"Don't you want a divine relic? Here I can give you a divine relic that has special benefits for martial artists..."
Xue Jing blinked and asked, "What is it?"
"GOD-508: A Hundred-foot Pole..."
"As a collector of divine relics, you should know the effects of this thing..."
Xue Jing sat up straighter, his eyes revealing excitement.
Of course he knows.
He went through all the information on the divine relic information website that he could find at his current level.
He remembered the information about GOD-508 very clearly.
The top of the hundred-foot pole is a bamboo joint that looks no different from an ordinary bamboo.
The effect is very simple. Just put it on top of your head, hold it to prevent it from falling, and continue to do one thing.
After three days, GOD-508 will grow one section taller.
At the same time, the thing you are doing will also rise to a higher level.
For example, if you exercise for three days, your physical fitness will improve; if you practice martial arts for three days, your martial arts skills will improve...
It is called - go one step further from the top of the pole.
According to the data, there was once a big man whose name consisted of ■. After using GOD-508, he successfully completed the "■■ Ascension"...
Although I don't know what ■■ is, but since it has something to do with the word "ascension", I know it's something extraordinary...
This temptation is a bit big...
Xue Jing wanted the divine relic very much, let alone GOD-508...
"What exactly is the situation at that junction?"
Xue Jing asked.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Ren understood that this meant he was willing to accept the offer.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"The specific situation is still unclear. The testers are not strong enough to go deeper, but from the point of view of being able to withdraw at any time, it should be a C-level junction..."
Xu Ren told Xue Jing all the information he had found so far. After listening to him, Xue Jing said:
"Let me think about it."
"Okay, give me an answer within a week." Xu Ren said.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Jing fell into deep thought.
According to Xu Ren, the C-level border area is not too dangerous. Even if there are living creatures inside, the danger level will generally not exceed 5.
His task is to enter the border area and install a special instrument at various locations within the border area, which will not only be able to detect all details within the border area, but also monitor changes occurring within the border area at any time.
Doesn't sound difficult...
Xue Jing shook his head.
He knew very little about the border area, so he had to consult Wu Youqing for details before considering whether to agree.
The style of this organization that he had felt since he came into contact with Bai Ya made him distrust Xu Ren's words.
"We'll talk about it later."
Xue Jing picked up the phone, opened the dialing interface, entered his sister Xue Wan's number, and dialed.
After a few beeps, the call was connected.
Xue Wan's cheerful voice came from the receiver.
"Hey, hey, hey~"
"My stupid Ou Doudou, please stop calling me all the time. What if I am mistaken as a sister who has a brother who is obsessed with his sister? Good men will stay away from me."
Xue Jing ignored her sullenness and said, "I'm going to Fengcheng in a few days. Do you have anything you want me to bring?"
There was a flurry of noise coming from the receiver, bang bang bang, as if Xue Wan had knocked something over.
"Ah? You're coming to Maple City!?"
There was a hint of panic in Xue Wan's voice.
Xue Jing asked suspiciously, "Why, what's wrong with you?"
"How can that be possible..."
Xue Wan said with a dry laugh.
"My dearest Ou Doudou is coming to see me. I am very happy..."
Xue Jing said meaningfully: "It's better this way."
…
Chapter 97: Carbon-based flesh and blood, on par with gods, the master of thousands of reds and thousands of beauties, communication between big figures (4K)
Maple City University, Horticulture College, in a flower garden.
Xue Wan hung up the phone and stared at the phone interface with a thoughtful look on his face.
The Xue family had good genes, which gave her a good appearance. Her facial features were even, her eyebrows were soft, and her eyes were extremely bright, as if hiding a pool of autumn water. Her eyes were sparkling when she looked around. She was the kind of beauty that would immediately stun you at first sight.
Her long black hair with slightly curled ends flows to her waist like a black waterfall, and her skin is as white as milk, so she doesn't look rustic at all even though she is wearing a set of dirt-resistant rural clothes.
Xue Wan was thinking about something when a figure squatted in the flowerbed next to him. While trimming the extra branches of the flowers in front of him, he asked in a cold tone:
"Are you from the family again?"
Xue Wan came back to his senses, glanced at the squatting professor of horticulture, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Yes... my brother. He said he would come to Fengcheng to see me in a few days."
The professor stood up from his squatting position. His dark green hair seemed to be braided into dreadlocks. His hair hung down like vines and swayed, almost like a living thing.
"I don't understand." She said in a flat tone.
"You are the one chosen by the Lord of Thousand Reds and Ten Thousand Beauties. Mortal kinship is meaningless to you. Why are you unwilling to let it go?"
When Xue Wan heard this, he sighed helplessly: "Why are you bringing this up again, teacher?"
"We have only been granted divine power, but that doesn't mean we have become gods... I am just a mortal in your words."
She smiled and sighed:
"My younger brother has recently started practicing martial arts. Even the news reported that he is a martial arts genius."
The professor reached out and gently brushed a delicate pink and white rose beside him.
In an instant, the rose began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming larger, spreading out countless branches, and turning into a giant flower like a big tree.
Countless vines stretched out from the giant flower, dancing in the air, so densely packed that it was quite scary.
"Martial arts are just the arrogant fantasies of mortals."
She spoke softly.
"Some people regard it as 'the only path that belongs entirely to mankind' and boast about it, chasing after that tiny possibility, trying to leap to a 'personhood' with pure carbon-based flesh and blood, and be on par with gods."
"However, over the past three hundred years of the New Era, it has been proven that this is an impossible thing. Even the one who came closest... could never take that step that seemed so close, but was actually so far away. In the end, he succumbed to the limitation of his lifespan, underwent the 'immortality surgery', and became an 'impure thing'."
"Your mortal brother is on a dead end... It would be better to have him come and worship the Lord of Thousand Reds and Beauties. Maybe he can be looked at differently by the true God and step onto the true steps to godhood with you..."
When Xue Wan heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Teacher, I don't quite understand what you are saying."
