The two worlds are different, and there is no moment where this reality is more assured than now.
"The point of difference, in addition to the supernatural pollution that existed from the beginning, is more important, but it is the great summons fifty years ago..."
Fundamental differences appeared in the timeline at that moment. Too many supernatural events distorted the actual power ratio between "official" and "civilian" forces. The pressure from foreign lands, foreign races and even foreign gods made all countries, including the Eastern Kingdom,
The major human nations within the country have fallen into a helpless period of muddling through.
When the central government loses its absolute authority and power, and when local governments need to constantly rely on themselves to deal with the swarming crises, a wide range of local protectionism and a sense of local self-reliance naturally appear in various districts and regions.
The world and perspective of ordinary people are relatively relaxed. They are still following the inertia of the past world, but it is a little strange. Recently, outside the city, there are less and less news about the country, and more people are paying attention to the one-third of an acre of land in front of them.
And the further you go up, the stronger you get and the bigger the city becomes, the more you become aware of this sad and helpless realistic predicament.
They have not lost their ideals, but are pursuing more realistic things in order to meet the more realistic "survival pressure".
A ticket to the Ark? Forbidden knowledge leading to a higher level? Weapons and consumable resources as immediate combat power?
As the situation worsened, those churches of the gods that already had big ships had countless human resources actively coming to invest without even recruiting.
The premise of an orderly society is that most members of society trust the stability of the order and trust that when they get up tomorrow, everything will be as usual.
When an avalanche occurs, every snowflake will prioritize its own survival.
What the mercenary Su Zhizhu did was just to expose the false "peace" in front of him, allowing Lu Ping'an to see the truth of the world more clearly.
"Fifty years? Chris, do you mean that the situation will further deteriorate in the future? Or that the entire Eastern Kingdom may fall into disintegration and civil strife?"
Big Cat directly revealed a more convincing possibility.
"Now, is it any different from civil strife? In many areas, especially the areas where the headquarters of major churches are located, their words are much more useful than the central government. Grassroots officials and garrison officers are all their people. What is the difference from independence of facts?"
Chris just revealed the truth calmly.
"The ancient city is relatively stable and conservative. It just lacks the value of competition in the eyes of many forces..." She saw this scene happening fifty years ago, which was the apocalyptic future that had happened in countless worlds.
The "thick glass" cannot withstand the erosion of "water pressure", and large cracks will appear from the inside. It is a matter of course that it first breaks into pieces, and it is not impossible to blow it up directly.
It's a bit surprising that I can survive until today.
"It's time to speed up."
Calm words are Lu Ping'an's determination. His time is limited, or these peaceful and calm days will be even more limited.
Fifty years? Perhaps, this is also Big Cat’s optimistic judgment.
When social order really breaks down, what will happen is completely unpredictable.
The transaction with the two mercenaries was also quite smooth. What Lu Pingan brought out far exceeded their expectations... They even vaguely saw that there might even be someone behind this "trading place".
A boat ticket!
Lu Pingan did not admit or deny the tentative words. He did not even admit that he was the behind-the-scenes controller of the trading place.
Now the two sides are still in the running-in period, and more information is needed to determine the relationship... But what Lu Ping'an has brought out now is enough for the two of them to accept his employment for a long time.
And amidst all the bad news, there is also good news for Lu Ping An.
"...Is this the driver? It's really completely different from what I imagined."
Su Zhizhu is a inheritance-type profession. Inheritance means "the legacy of the strong" and is often a unique path composed of multiple professional abilities. Her family's inheritance path is centered on "Controller".
At the fourth level, she has actually embarked on her family's unique path, but her knowledge as an enlightened "controller" is completely different from the universal version of the university.
"Ordinary drivers start with 'use'. Drivers who play with cars will first practice their posture to a very high level, and then try to upgrade 'driving' to 'control'. And the inheritance of my family has always been
It starts with taking control..."
Under normal circumstances, being a driver is a profession that takes some time to get started.
You need to first choose a person to control, and then "get along well" with them, and even achieve complete control. If you are a car player, you must be at the level of a special driver. If you are a sword player, you must be at least a master of swordsmanship.
Previously, Lu Ping An said that the role of "driver" cannot be achieved in a short period of time, and he was talking about the regular job of a driver.
Upgrading "use" to "control" requires a lot of time and practice. Lu Ping'an originally planned to grind it slowly.
But the inheritors of the Su family are much more straightforward.
"As long as you can completely control it, you can become a driver."
What was placed in front of Lu Ping An was a piece of red tissue paper. Even without using spiritual vision, Lu Ping An could feel the strong pollution in it.
[Su Zhizhu’s Blood (Black Iron Lower Spell)]
[Before, it was just an ordinary piece of origami, but now, it is a truly taboo item.]
[Control it, or be controlled by it...]
This time, the prompts given by the system are somewhat different from before.
"Your blood?" Lu Pingan patted lightly, revealing the fact that he was a high-standard rule-level ability user.
"It's just paper stained with my blood. Our family's bloodline is our inheritance..."
Just this piece of paper, and the forbidden knowledge inherited from the family provided by Su Zhizhu, replaced Lu Ping'an's more than 70 life points... This is recognized by the Life Bank, which means it is worth this price.
.
Under normal circumstances, job-seeking drivers need half a year of pre-job training, and the person they want to "drive" must be selected in advance.
Because its regular inauguration ceremony is to "perform martial arts in front of gods" to show your superhuman control skills, and this one...
"You only need to touch it, not be controlled by it, or even fold it into anything, and you can succeed in your job? This is too simple."
"In the final analysis, the inauguration ceremony actually borrows divine power to give you a 'regularized' seed, a road leading to a higher ladder. Since the one who provides the 'divine power' is one of your own, it is normal for the ceremony to be simple."
Su Zhizhu shrugged, she had already touched some of the background on the opposite side.
It seems that he is probably a lucky person who grew up in the local area. He still lacks sufficient understanding of many outside "common senses" and has asked a lot of questions in the past few days.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an suddenly realized that the "professional knowledge" commonly used by the outside world was only the most convenient for promotion.
Various forces may have better and more direct things, secret ways, strange advancement rituals, etc., but these cannot be disseminated to the masses.
Originally, the textbooks published by the outside world were only level 0 and level 1, which were the simplest and original versions. To go to the next level, you have to enter a teaching institution like Gucheng University... and the materials they can provide are...
Knowledge is also a "universal version".
The regular professional training time, maybe with the corresponding gods plus resources, secret rituals, and blessings of the gods' privileges, it is possible to shorten it by half or even lower... For one's own people and outsiders, gods
Could it be an attitude?
The simplest example is actually Lu Ping'an's palm gardener. The difficulty of the inauguration ceremony (art test) is actually much lower than that of a normal "bonsai designer".
To be more extreme, many professionals are stuck in a certain bottleneck because they are stuck in a core ability. At this time, if a certain god uses "divine grace" or "sacrifice ritual" to bless you, then don't just go up
Yet?
The piece of paper in front of him is the "privilege key" of the Su family. Just being able to take up the job without having to choose a "driving target" in advance has made Lu Ping'an very excited, not to mention the huge amount of time saved.
Lu Ping An was not in a hurry to use it because...
[Note 1: If it is used as a driver successfully, part of the pollution will be sent to the user for a period of time, and may be sensed by the creator at close range. Note 2: This pollution will last for three days based on the user's own strength.
Until about seven days.]
This man still has this piece of paper, and he indeed has a trick up his sleeve.
If she used it like this, the next moment, she would probably walk around the special service team to find herself.
"...Ha, I went back to the secret realm of Gucheng University to use it, and I'm still hiding in my own half of the plane. If you have the ability, just sneak in." Your latest reading progress detected is "340
