Chapter 54 Tear Crystal Mine

Two days passed quickly, and the day for the spiritual realm to open came.

On this day, Xu Jiang woke up from his dream and heard several notification sounds at the same time.

[Congratulations, General Qianji has successfully mastered the skill and made a leap of faith through continuous training in jumping off buildings.]

[Leap of Faith: If you jump within 50 meters, you will not be harmed; if you jump within 100 meters, if there is a buffer, you will not be harmed. And keep a handsome posture when jumping off the building.]

Sure enough, I looked at Ta Liang's "Fist of the North Star", it was all a lie.

This is a guide for jumping off buildings.

…

[Congratulations, the grenade has successfully advanced through studying mechanical repair. 】

[Life-saving Grenade (Colonel)]

[Quality]: blue

[Skills]: Unstable Explosion, First Aid Lv10, Mechanical Repair Lv10

[Mechanical Repair Lv10]: Machinery can be repaired. The repair speed depends on the target quality, and the material consumption is randomly reduced by 20%.

After taking a look at his [Simple Repair] skill, he finally understood why he was not favored by the front office of the Martial Arts Association in the first place.

They both have repair skills, so why is there such a big gap?

…

"Xu Jiang, please wake up and come to the company quickly. We are ready to leave."

Uncle Lei sent the communication, and as the person in charge of Xu Jiang, he was naturally the one to handle it.

After quickly washing up, I came to the company, where nearly a hundred people had gathered, including several members of the 17th group.

"Are you coming with me too?" Xu Jiang asked strangely.

"Anyway, the company needs bodyguards, so we applied. Let's go over together and have a look. If someone bullies you, we can also help."

Ying Xiaoxiao handed over a supply package, which contained not only compressed food and ammunition, but also more importantly mining tools and large-caliber ore bags.

These were carefully selected by Xiao Hei and are all practical tools.

"Where's Xiao Hei? He won't go?"

"How many days will it take to go there? Someone needs to be on duty at home! He can only stay here."

[Xu Jiang, I wish you a safe journey and come back first.] Xiao Hei's voice came from the communicator.

What a harmonious and loving group: "Don't worry, I will definitely get the first place, and I will treat you to dinner later."

…

Although it is a trial in the spiritual realm, the concept has changed significantly compared to the last time.

Last time it was to prove himself, this time he was representing the company. The enemies Xu Jiang had to face were not only monsters, but also competitors.

The venue is outside Yong'an City, which is regarded as an acropolis warning station. The safety factor is not high, and there is no guarantee that competitors will not cause trouble.

Therefore, three hunting groups were dispatched to accompany this operation. It was obvious that the Jiuchuan Group attached great importance to this spiritual realm competition.

Xu Jiang asked in a low voice with some confusion: "Teacher, this time should be considered a low-level spiritual realm. Are the ores in it really so valuable? It needs such a big fanfare."

"Well, how should I put it? The value of the ore is not high, but it also involves a gambling agreement." Uncle Lei explained quietly in the car.

Although Yong'an City seems prosperous and powerful, it is still filled with overt and covert struggles between various forces.

The so-called mayor of Yong'an City is not as imagined, someone who can speak for himself alone.

Instead, it is a matter of balancing the various forces and jointly managing the city.

A month ago, the four families jointly seized a batch of important supplies from the Desolate Beast. The value far exceeded expectations. Everyone wanted to share more, but no one was willing to give in.

In order not to trigger a war, the four families decided to use a special competition method to determine the distribution of benefits.

First of all, it cannot be a bloodbath between the top masters of major forces, as that will damage the foundation.

Secondly, competition must be fair and just.

Ever since, the [Lacrimonium Mine] that Xu Jiang wanted to go to became his first choice.

Once the tear crystal mine produced inside leaves the spiritual realm, the energy contained in it will slowly drain away, so there is no need to worry about cheating.

Each of the four companies sent 10 people to participate, and the batch of materials was distributed proportionally according to the total weight obtained, competing for the emerging strength of each company.

"In other words, even if I get first place, the company may not necessarily win?"

"That's right. But your primary goal is still to get first place."

The 10 contestants are the elites selected by the three major factions of the group. Xu Jiang represents the third lady. If he can get good results, the reputation of the third lady will also rise with the tide. This is the top priority.

…

Sitting on a special off-road vehicle, the group of people drove out of the city.

After leaving the tall steel city walls, the outside world has an extremely harsh environment.

The wind and sand swept across it, and all that could be seen was the devastated wreckage.

Fortunately, their destination was not far away, and they were not attacked by wild beasts along the way. It was calm and they arrived at a city.

But when we got here, the smell of gunpowder suddenly became stronger.

From a distance, I saw the flags of three other companies: the Special Service Team, the Martial Arts Association, and the Storm Military Industry.

As soon as their front feet landed, they heard a ticking sound on the keyboard with their back feet.

Before Xu Jiang could react, a logistics staff member had already hurriedly handed over a tablet computer.

"Here you go, here is the list of contestants and their strength estimates. It is not complete, but it has certain reference value."

The atmosphere became more and more intense. Xu Jiang looked around and felt a lot of vigilant eyes.

One of the most exaggerated ones, from the special service team, scolded him directly: "What kind of information are you talking about? He also participated in the competition? Is there any mistake?"

The voice seemed familiar? Xu Jiang looked at the sand disciple behind him.

Shatu shrugged: "Yes, it's my daughter Shaqin. It seems that she was stimulated by you."

"by me?"

"Yes, look at her coming."

Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw a medium-sized mecha approaching, and the Jiuchuan Group quickly alerted.

As soon as the mecha approached, it disarmed, and a short-haired woman jumped out of it. She was wearing a tight-fitting leather battle suit, and her figure was well outlined.

He glanced at Shatu with an unhappy expression, and then looked at Xu Jiang.

"They said you can also compete?"

"You are asking this. I am an employee of Jiuchuan. Isn't it normal to participate in the competition?" Xu Jiang shrugged.

"But are you really only level 10?" Sha Qin looked unbelieving.

After Zongzi's battle, Xu Jiang's combat power is enough to be on an equal footing with her. Who can bear it now that she is told that she is not even level 10?

Xu Jiang smiled proudly: "Of course, I have just reached level 9 and can participate."

This is the recognition of strength, right? Even the enemy instructors were frightened, and they surrendered without fighting. How many people here can do this?

Upon hearing this, Shaqin could only roll his eyes helplessly, scratched his head irritably, and returned to his team.

"Instructor, do you know that Xu Jiang? He is very strong. Looking at the information, it seems that he has just joined the job not long ago."

"I know him. When you go in and see him later, try not to have a direct conflict. You can't beat him."

The straightforward remarks made a kind of special service team member feel unhappy.

"Instructor, we haven't fought yet, so why are you so ambitious?"

"This is a fact. Even if I try my best, I may not be able to win. What do you think?"

Sha Qin's super high evaluation undoubtedly made Xu Jiang the focus of the audience. Countless jealous eyes looked over, and everyone wanted to be a young and powerful person like him who was attracting much attention.

But when Xu Jiang listened, he felt a little troubled.

He took a step back and asked Shatu: "Have I been tricked by your daughter?"

Shatu spread his hands in a funny way: "According to the principle of driving a tiger to swallow a wolf, yes, congratulations! You are now a public enemy."

"...It's really despicable."

Praising and killing! This is naked flattery and killing!

He deliberately came over to show weakness. Although he lost face, it diverted all the attention of the other two families to him.

When you say you shouldn't have a confrontation head-on, isn't this a reminder to others that even if you want to start a fight, you'll do it secretly?

Who can bear it when someone throws a bomb into his backpack after taking only two steps?

"No! We must find a way." Xu Jiang looked at the guide bear at his feet and fell into deep thought.
Chapter completed!
