"Failure gifts" are a unique system within the Silver Award Alliance.

This system is also known as "the last warmth in the world."

Because when ordinary people fail to enter school, the society will not give them a good look - as far as the entrance exam is concerned, the annual admission rate of 8% is low enough, and more than 90% of young people will face the same outcome.

is eliminated.

The difference is that after being eliminated, due to the differences in the family environment of each family, some people can turn around and join the formal apprenticeship, but more people, like Zhao Jiuzhou, can only work as temporary workers for the rest of their lives.

They only have enough food and clothing to survive until they die. Only a few are lucky enough to be able to enter a factory and learn some skills. When their seniority increases, there may be hope of becoming a full-time employee.

However, these days, job positions in alliance enterprises are also scarce. Families that can get such a position can basically set up an apprenticeship, so it is better to arrange to sit in an office in a more leisurely government office.

All of these, during the buffer period after the exam and before officially entering the society, the psychological states of the candidates are also completely different. For example, Liu Ziqing is only two years older than Zhao Jiuzhou and is now a deacon.

Of course, he was so happy from the day he finished the exam. But the problem in society accounts for a larger proportion of the population, but it is poor people like Zhao Jiuzhou. These failed candidates are prone to psychological problems, and then

leading to other, more serious problems.

Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, the Alliance has come up with countermeasures since more than a hundred years ago.

This plan is to spend money to buy peace. That is, to give all the failed students gifts that are enough to comfort their souls. The official name is "non-admission scholarship", which is also commonly known as "failure gift".

However, due to the ever-present contradiction between population and resources, the gift itself also has differences in specifications.

Most of the gifts that failed students get are basically cash. The specific amount depends on the score of the failed student. The closer the score is to the cut-off score, the more will be given. Those with ridiculously low test scores can only get ten yuan.

There are also many people with money.

Only a small number of candidates who are very close to the upper-line score, are more likely to feel angry, and suffer from psychological and mental illness, will the league issue some more valuable physical objects that cannot be bought with money. For example, various ownership rights

Personal psychic weapons and equipment, or auxiliary psychic props, or - phantom beast eggs that ordinary people can't afford in their lifetime.

At the same time, in order to prevent someone from profiting from it, these relatively expensive physical items are usually packed very tightly and distributed directly to the management departments of each community in a lottery-like form, and then delivered to the door in one stop by community staff.

During the delivery process, neither the sender nor the recipient knows what will be in the box.

And whoever dares to take it apart in advance will find that the crime is no less serious than cheating on the entrance exam. The consequences will be unbearable for ordinary people, not to mention the powerful, once they are exposed.

In this way, the loopholes in the system are basically closed.

Because no matter how precious the gift is, to a person with power, it is not worth much.

It is undoubtedly a fool's errand to risk your family's happiness for such a small gain.

Therefore, during normal operations, from the entrance to the examination hall to the branch level, no one would even take a second look at these gifts for failure. Because they don’t like them at all. Then when the gifts are sent to the community, people in the community

You have to consider whether it is necessary to ruin your small life just for the sake of getting hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Compared with the rich and powerful who may have a way out if they make mistakes, people at the grassroots level will have absolutely no room for change if they are caught. And even if they are not caught, they will only have hundreds of thousands more in their accounts, which will not have any impact on their lives.

What an improvement.

But once caught... the editor doesn't want him anymore?

So over the years, even if something went wrong with a gift, it would at most be that the person in charge of the delivery had a story to tell. For example, the car overturned, the car spontaneously ignited, or you encountered a monster on the road at night.

But as long as the items can be delivered to the community smoothly, there is almost no risk of corruption.

Because the benefits and risks are completely out of proportion.

At most, it's nothing more than a community like Zhao Jiuzhou's, which has been dawdling in doing things all year round. The gift that was supposed to be delivered to him more than half a month ago was not delivered until today. If Zhao Jiuzhou hadn't been in trouble tonight,

This phantom beast egg must be returned to the community!

"Um?"

Zhao Jiuzhou looked at the egg in front of him stupidly, as if he suddenly figured out something.

Damn! These bastards! Did they do this on purpose?

It was obvious that he had no one to look after the house, so he wanted to delay it for a few days until he was done with it before handling the gift!

Too much to eat?!

This group of grassroots bastards can actually come up with this method to exploit loopholes in the system.

I am really impressed by you...

Zhao Jiuzhou became angry and stopped shaking. He picked up the box, turned around and walked quickly back to the bedroom.

When he returned to the room, he took out the phantom beast egg and finally calmed down.

I was quickly planning my business again in my mind.

There is a big difference in the prices of phantom beast eggs and phantom beasts.

There are a lot of phantom beasts in this world, and they appear unexpectedly in every corner of the city every day.

However, these hatched phantom beasts cannot be spiritually connected to their owners because there is no human intervention. After being captured, they can only be thrown into pet shops for sale, and whoever buys them will belong to them. And those within three months of birth will belong to whoever buys them.

Phantom beasts are usually idiots who will run with whoever they see. Only after three months or about a hundred days will they slowly grow their brains and identify their master.

Therefore, what is sold in the Phantom Beast shop is basically all Phantom Beast eggs, or cubs that have just been hatched and are less than two months old.

But if they are not sold after three months, these phantom beast cubs will be mercilessly thrown into the "Spiritual Refining Furnace" and incinerated, crying and burned, and finally converted into a very pure crystal.

Nucleus - quality close to the secondary crystal nucleus.

Therefore, the market price of the Phantom Beast is almost the price of the second-level crystal core. However, according to the alliance law, singles can purchase the first two at a very low discount with a single dog certificate issued by the community. The price of each one is,

It was about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. When I bought the third one, the price of each one was at least 300,000 yuan.

So if someone is walking with more than three phantom beasts on the road, don’t think about it. There must be at least a deacon or above in the family, and he must be from Youshui Yameni. Ordinary people, who can afford a third person?

A phantom beast?

Even if I could really afford it, I wouldn't be willing to spend the money.

In comparison, phantom beast eggs are even more precious.

Phantom beast eggs, as the name suggests, are eggs that can hatch phantom beasts. The number of such eggs is supposed to be large, but most of the time, people can only find egg shells. Because they hatch very quickly, in

It is refreshed in the wild - yes, it is refreshed. It appears randomly in a certain place for no reason, and within three days, the phantom beast will naturally hatch.

But if someone discovered it within three days, the situation would be completely different.

Human demon hunters can manually intervene in the hatching of phantom beast eggs.

That is to say, as long as you input a little bit of your own spiritual power into the egg, the phantom beast hatched from the egg will naturally regard the hatcher as a relative. The demon hunter can communicate with the phantom beast and can perceive it.

The emotions of the phantom beasts. Some phantom beasts are born with strong inspiration, and can even be used as "intelligence experts" at this time.

Of course, there are always only a few of these top-quality phantom beasts, and most phantom beasts can only be used as pets.

But then again, even if it is a pet, its value is far beyond that of ordinary pets. Because these little guys can give the demon hunter a lot of emotional warmth. You must know that in this world, everyone is living a good life.

Hard work and spiritual warmth are indeed great luxuries. And the high-risk working environment of a demon hunter is so stressful and exciting. If there is no companion around, these little cuties like their own children may be their only

Spiritually comforted.

However, those naturally hatched phantom beasts do not have this effect.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this that the market price of phantom beast eggs has remained high.

Each one costs at least 500,000 yuan.

Zhao Jiuzhou really didn't expect his luck to be so good.

In this current situation, it is not forcing him to...

Did you take the eggs and sell them!?

He doesn’t need any bullshit spiritual comfort anyway!

Even if necessary, wouldn't it be nice to watch Liu Yifei twist his butt?

That doesn’t cost any money!

"Damn it, five hundred thousand..." Zhao Jiuzhou held the box and swallowed it.

Although the alliance law prohibits private individuals from directly trading phantom beast eggs beyond the phantom beast specialty store, that was when the phantom beast eggs were first spawned. And now the ownership of the egg is completely owned by him, and he will not sell it at this time.

, as a seller, he definitely doesn’t have to worry about being caught. “Selling gifts that failed to be listed” has never been a big deal, and there are countless similar things happening to poor families. Unless someone really wants to kill him and report the matter to the department at the sect’s front level.

Go, otherwise no one will accept the case even if the defendant comes to the main helm.

But how could a big shot like him who could bring things to the forefront have to deal with a poor guy like him over an egg?

Zhao Jiuzhou never believed that such mental illness existed in this world!

At this moment, Zhao Jiuzhou, who was blinded by money and overjoyed, really felt that there was nothing wrong with failing the exam. After all, to be honest, even if he had entered school, graduated from the academy, and successfully entered the system, if he spent his whole life

They are all unlucky and cannot be promoted, and they may not be able to save a huge sum of five hundred thousand when they are old.

But now, he has this money right before his eyes!

Zhao Jiuli immediately took out his mobile phone excitedly, found a store that claimed to be able to buy it, and couldn't wait to call it, "Hello! I want to ask, what is the price for you to buy phantom beast eggs now? Four hundred and eighty thousand?"

Isn’t it five hundred thousand? My egg was a gift for the unsuccessful student, drawn at random, and of course it has been opened! Three hundred and fifty thousand? What the hell...fuck you!"

Negotiations broke down within minutes.

"You're a profiteer, you're going to die a good death..." Zhao Jiuzhou was a little angry, and took out the egg's countdown timer from the box. The time displayed on it was "There are about 2.1 days left before hatching."

.

Fortunately, there is still enough time...

Zhao Jiuzhou thought for a while, looked for it on his phone, and called another store.

"Hey, I want to sell a phantom beast egg. Do you want it for 600,000? I picked it up next to the manure pit, um, just over there in the warehouse area. I work there and I happened to pick it up. Huh? What?

Do I need to check and register before I can sell it? Where can I go to check and register? The Phantom Beast Inspection and Registration Center? The Tianlong General Helm and the Flying Dragon Branch? The registration fee is 50,000? Oh..."

Zhao Jiuzhou put down the phone and was in a daze for half a minute. He put on a smile again and called back to the last family, "Hey, hello, I just said that I wanted to sell eggs. That egg was actually not my failure gift. It was

I picked it up next to a manure pit.

I still have a work permit over at the Heihuling branch warehouse area, ah? What? Two hundred thousand? What the hell are you... OK! Two hundred thousand is fine too! Can you come and pick it up? I'll send it over myself tomorrow? I

You have to go to work tomorrow, can’t you now? What? Are you a black shop? You don’t do business at night? Okay, okay, you guys are awesome! I’ll ask for leave tomorrow!"

As soon as Zhao Jiuzhou came out of society, he was severely beaten by society.

After a fierce operation, the price was successfully reduced by another hundred thousand...

"Grandma is a bear."

Zhao Jiuzhou gritted his teeth and cursed, and a text message popped up on his phone.

When I opened it, I saw the address of the black shop.

The innermost room on the 2nd floor of No. 15 Moocheng Road, Fenduo Commercial District, Heihuling.

This shabby shop is actually located in a downtown area.

What a courageous dog...

Zhao Jiuzhou seriously doubted that there was a protective umbrella behind them.

No! Be confident!

There is no need to doubt this at all!

The more Zhao Jiuzhou thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the hungrier he felt, so he went to the refrigerator to get a bunch of things and ate a big meal. As a person who had just fought against Shilime, he didn't know where he could be like this.

Good appetite…

The waiting time is always extremely long.

After Zhao Jiuzhou filled his stomach, he held the phantom beast egg and sat on the bed counting the seconds. From around 11 o'clock in the evening, he sat there until almost 7 o'clock in the morning. He saw the night gradually receding, the sky slowly getting brighter, and the lights in the room flickering.

After 7 o'clock, it goes out on time...

He couldn't help but yawned, and he felt sleepy on time.

This is the point when he usually gets off work.

But today, I feel very tired.

He closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep before he knew it.

Holding the egg in his arms, he slowly slid down and lay awkwardly on the bed.

After a while, he began to twist slightly restlessly...

"Young man, are you here?"

"Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important, but do you know who you are?"

"I am the most beautiful man in the world, Zhao Jiuzhou."

"..."

"..."

"You really know nothing about this world..."

"Fuck you, how did you score in the entrance exam? How dare you act so coquettish in front of me?"

"Go and see this world, see it clearly, get to know it..."

"Are you still showing off? Which unit are you from?"

"Hehehe, I gave you a gift tonight..."

"fart!"

"You've already eaten it, so stop being so harsh."

"Did I eat it in my mouth?... Who the hell are you scolding? You are the one who eats shit! Your whole family eats shit!"

"That's not shit, it's a gift from fate... Take it!"

The unknown person in the dream suddenly turned into a white light and headed straight for Zhao Jiuzhou's door.

In the real world, Zhao Jiuzhou's body suddenly tensed up while he was lying on the bed, and a bright light shone all over his body. In his belly, a small white dot suddenly lit up, and then spread out quickly, dots and pieces, blending into his body.

.

A huge amount of spiritual energy surged out from his body surface, wrapped around the packaging box of the phantom beast egg in his hand, penetrated through the packaging box, penetrated into the box, and bits of spiritual light entered the eggshell and the core inside the eggshell.

, followed by a white light.

"Ah!" Zhao Jiuzhou exclaimed and sat up.

All the spiritual energy in the room dissipated in an instant.

He was sweating profusely and picked up his phone to check the time.

It's 8:30 in the morning.

Holy shit! It was so dangerous! I almost slept until the afternoon!
Chapter completed!
