Four boxes of different shapes were lined up in front of Shen Qian.
Shen Qian first took the treasure box of Wen Zhuangyuan sent by the Provincial Department of Education.
The box is made of wood, not particularly heavy, but the texture of the wood itself is excellent. Although it is unrecognizable, the box should be made of some kind of precious wood.
There is a text engraved on the corner of the box, which basically means that in 2297 AD, Shen Qian passed the first prize in the Southwest Province and this box was specially made by a certain famous craftsman to contain "literary treasures" as a gift.
Speaking of which, after the excitement of the afternoon, Shen Qian finally had the opportunity to log on to the official website to check his results.
Chinese 147, Mathematics 150, Diplomatic Language 150, Liberal Arts Comprehensive 146, Science Comprehensive 150, Art Appreciation 148.
Out of a total of 750 points, Shen Qian scored 741 points.
The second "second place" came from Mingcheng, with a score of 740, only one point behind Shen Qian.
It can only be said that in some subjective subjects, Shen Qian performed better than he imagined, or that he was more to the liking of the marking officer.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Shen Qian opened the box in front of him.
The box is layered.
There is a metal certificate on the first floor. The style is a bit like an ancient alchemy iron coupon. It has the four characters "Reputation of the Number One Scholar" written on it. On the back is Shen Qian's name, place of birth and other information.
Obviously, this first level is just honor on paper.
Putting the certificate aside and opening the second layer, Shen Qian was shaken so hard that he couldn't open his eyes.
This is a set of four treasures of the study, but it is made entirely of platinum!
And in some key parts, such as the penholder or the bottom of the inkstone, there are also large gems inlaid.
Shen Qian sensed that they were either spiritual stones for cultivation, or pure rare gems of good quality.
It should be worth a lot of money.
I estimate how much this set of "No. 1 Calligraphy Treasures" could fetch if sold. Unfortunately, with Shen Qian's current reputation, this is not appropriate.
Then came the last layer. Shen Qian opened it and was a little disappointed. There was actually a set of books at the bottom.
It is the Four Books and Five Classics that are famous in Chinese history.
"Can this also be regarded as a reward for the number one scholar?" Shen Qian muttered and picked up a book of "The Book of Songs", "Not everyone can buy this... Huh?"
Shen Qian turned the page and was stunned.
Because on the title page of the Book of Songs, there is actually a thin gold leaf.
Shen Qian flipped through the pages quickly, and then took a breath of cold air. As he expected, there was a gold leaf on every page!
Shen Qian picked up "The Book of Changes", "The Analects of Confucius", and "The Doctrine of the Mean" and flipped through them in order...
Good guy, it’s all gold leaves!
What is this?
Is there a golden house in the book?
Shen Qian was stunned by the Provincial Department of Education's saucy operation, even giving money so implicitly.
After the disaster, the financial order was rebuilt, and gold was still the hardest currency in circulation. Shen Qian didn't know what the current price of gold was, but he thought these gold leaves were still worth at least a few hundred W.
"After studying hard for more than ten years, and getting the top score, a reward of several million is actually not too much."
Shen Qian thought about it again and felt that this was natural.
If this money were invested in an ordinary family, it would be enough to raise the living standard to the middle class.
I don’t know if Third Senior Brother will accept gold...
Shen Qian put away Wen Zhuangyuan's reward, and then turned his attention to the three boxes.
Although the three boxes are all made of metal, the materials are different and they are obviously produced by different departments.
Shen Qian first took over the bronze box jointly given by the Provincial Martial Arts Department and the Provincial Department of Education, and then opened it.
The box is still divided into three layers. As expected, the first layer is also an iron coupon with an alchemy book, which is an honorary certificate for being the provincial champion.
On the second floor are ten small porcelain bottles.
Shen Qian picked it up and took a look, but it was the most common and most commonly used "Rongyuan Pill".
In addition to being used by warriors to break through, the Fusion Pill can also be used for daily practice to speed up the integration of spiritual energy and vitality.
It's just that Shen Qian has the assistance of ancient magic techniques, but there is almost no need for this kind of elixir.
Shen Qian estimated that this should be the standard reward for the provincial martial arts champion.
There are two in each porcelain vase, twenty in total.
The market price of Rongyuan Dan is around 100,000, which is equivalent to two million here.
Then Shen Qian opened the third floor.
Compared with the Education Department, the Martial Arts Department is much more direct.
The third layer...is a bank card.
The password is written on the back, and the amount is also marked.
Three million.
Shen Qian closed his eyes and did some calculations. As far as the two boxes he had opened so far, it seemed that he had been directly promoted to a net worth of tens of millions.
I helped my dad buy a car before. Shen Qian still had more than two million in his bank card. He still wanted to become a multimillionaire. I don’t know what year or month it was, but he didn’t expect to achieve his goal so quickly.
If the 200 contribution points of Baiwangdian were directly exchanged for money, they could also be exchanged for 20 million. However, Shen Qian obviously would not do that. It is estimated that no member of Baiwangdian would be really stupid enough to exchange points for money. .
On the contrary, people often exchange money for points.
Shen Qian then looked at the second box.
This is a silver box with the badge of "Ministry of Education" on it.
Shen Qian opened the box, which was divided into two layers: upper and lower.
The first layer is another bank card.
"Is Minister Ma also so direct?"
Shen Qian cheered up, cash was good, it was the easiest thing to do.
He picked it up and saw that it was five million.
...Okay, not as much as expected, but Shen Qian was very satisfied. He put away his bank card and opened the second layer.
To Shen Qian's surprise, there was only a translucent metal card with a strange material on the second floor.
There is a big word "Dui" on it.
Shen Qian picked up the instruction manual and read it, and then suddenly realized.
This is an exchange coupon that allows Shen Qian to exchange for a product priced below 5 million at any official psychic chain store across the country.
Although the price is five million, it does not mean that the cost of the voucher given by the Ministry of Education is also five million, but it is indeed a great gift.
This is considered to be a consideration for Shen Qian to enter university in Japan.
If converted in this way, it is equivalent to the Ministry of Education sending 10 million to Shen Qian.
Then, Shen Qian turned his attention to the last box.
This is a box sent by the Martial Arts Club. The material is an unknown black-gold metal.
Open the box, and the inside is also divided into two layers: upper and lower.
The things on the upper layer look familiar, but they are ten cyan tokens with simple shapes.
In the middle of the token is the word "武" with a gold edge.
...acting martial arts orders?
Shen Qian was a little bit dumbfounded.
He never expected that the Martial Arts Department would give him another martial arts performance order.
And it’s only ten yuan for a free gift.
This is equivalent to Shen Qian now having sixteen martial arts orders.
Marquis Jingcheng's annual quota for this thing is only ten yuan, and Shen Qian has become a "big player in martial arts performance".
It's a pity that so far, I only know that performing martial arts is the ticket to the Vientiane Tower, but where is the Vientiane Tower? Shen Qian is confused again.
I can only hope that this token is really as useful as Third Brother and Sixth Brother said.
Then Shen Qian opened the second layer of the black gold box, but it was not the bank card he was expecting, but another redemption coupon...
Yes, it is exactly the same as the voucher sent by the Ministry of Education.
No... Bosses, don't you discuss whether it will cause a car crash before giving a gift?
Shen Qian couldn't complain, so he picked up the exchange coupon and looked a little depressed, because the exchange coupon from the Martial Arts Club can be exchanged for goods worth less than 10 million.
Barely...it doesn’t count as overlap.
After collecting all the gifts, Shen Qian pinched his fingers and made a final summary. Counting the book amount, his personal wealth should have approached 30 million.
One-third of the small goals have been achieved.
Shen Qian lay down on the bed contentedly.
Speaking of which, he actually had a great harvest today.
That’s the starlight body!
According to the princes, that star is the Wuqu star recorded in ancient Chinese books.
If Shen Qian looks inward at this moment, he will find that there is also a very small star hovering in his mind. Of course, Shen Qian's current mental state is not yet capable of looking inward. This is what the princes told him. .
Wuqu's starlight penetrates the body and forms a very small field. The miniature stars in the mind are the core of the field.
As for the use of this field, according to the princes, it can speed up cultivation. As for the specific function, we will know it when Shen Qian absorbs the spiritual energy.
The exhausted Shen Qian had no thoughts of practicing for the time being. He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when fireworks suddenly exploded outside the window.
Shen Qian turned over and sat up and opened the curtains, only to see that the night sky in Jingcheng turned into a sea of fireworks in just one minute.
All kinds of gorgeous fireworks bloom in the sky, which is more lively than the Chinese New Year.
People in Jingcheng seem to be celebrating this special day in this way.
In a daze, Shen Qian heard many people shouting his name.
……
The next morning, Shen Qian got up early.
The TV was still broadcasting news about Shen Qian. Shen Qian, who was a little tired of hearing it, turned off the TV and ate breakfast quietly until the bedroom door was knocked.
"Third Senior Brother!"
Shen Qian opened the door, and Shi Dingyan stood outside the door with a strange expression.
"Someone who claims to be your bodyguard has found the Babel Tower. Do you want to meet him?"
Shi Dingyan opened his mouth and said.
"Guard?"
Shen Qian was confused at first, and then thought of something. Could it be the guard from the Baiwang Palace?
The past few days have been so busy that Shen Qian almost forgot about this matter.
But if he remembered correctly, Wan Ning once said at that time that he would see this guard when he returned to Jingcheng. It has been almost a week, why are you here now?
With this doubt, Shen Qian saw the other party in the reception room on the first floor of Babel Tower.
As soon as they met, Shen Qian knew why Shi Dingyan and the leading disciple Qian Weiyun all looked weird.
...is this the fucking Mountain and Sea Guard?
If Shi Dingyan hadn't quietly affirmed his realm, Shen Qian would have turned around and left.
The man in front of me was dressed in rags and had long hair covering half of his face. The long hair was also knotted, and he looked like a homeless man.
Beggars should be cleaner than him.
This man seemed to realize that his image was not very good, he lowered his head slightly, and a little red appeared on his dark face.
Shi Dingyan did not inquire into Shen Qian's secret. After indicating that he was at the door, he and Qian Weiyun left the reception room.
"Dao Jiu has met Mr. Shen."
At this time, the "beggar" seemed to recognize Shen Qian, who was left alone. He stood up and bowed slightly respectfully.
"What's your name?" Shen Qian was stunned.
"Daojiu, the sword of swords, the nine of nine." Daojiu explained very seriously.
Why does this mountain and sea feel like a not so smart duck?
Shen Qian complained silently, but considering the bad smell on the other person's body, he finally took the other person back to the 99th floor and asked him to go to the guest room to take a shower and change into clean clothes.
In the living room, Dao Jiu, who reappeared, looked much cleaner. Although his skin was still dark, his appearance was finally clear from the exposed facial features.
He looks about thirty or forty, with ordinary facial features and fairly lively eyes. However, when Shen Qian looked him over, he couldn't help but scratch his head and looked a little naive.
"My attendant at the Hundred Kings Palace said you should have arrived a week ago, why is it so late?"
Shen Qian poured a glass of water for the other party and asked curiously.
"I... lost my way." Dao Jiu lowered his head in shame.
"..."
Can mountains and seas also get lost?
Well, Shen Qian finally confirmed that it was not his illusion, Shanhai was indeed not a very smart duck.
"I set out from Liaocheng and made several mistakes along the way. Then I arrived at Mingcheng and found the contact point of Baiwang Palace, so they found someone to send me to Jingcheng." Dao Jiu briefly explained his tortuous journey.
"Liaocheng?" Shen Qian was speechless.
That is the capital of the third province in Northeast China. It is at least thousands of kilometers away from Jingcheng, and the meaning of Daojiu is very obvious.
He...came over.
"Why not take a plane?" Shen Qian asked confused.
Dao Jiu hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The air ticket... is too expensive."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, and looked at Dao Jiu with a strange look.
You are so powerful that you can’t even afford a plane ticket?
How did this get mixed up!
"If I remember correctly, the Martial Arts Department has a starting subsidy of 100,000 yuan per month for the strong Shanhai warriors. Where is your money?"
Logically speaking, it's not polite to ask this, but Shen Qian couldn't help but feel curious.
"It costs a lot to eat, and you have to keep a knife." Dao Jiu replied.
"Raising a knife?" Shen Qian was startled.
"I have nine knives, and I have to maintain them all." Dao Jiu explained seriously, "It costs tens of thousands every month."
As he spoke, Dao Jiu also opened his long backpack, revealing the long knives of different shapes inside.
Shen Qian did not ask any further questions, but just sighed.
Even with these reasons, if he only lives on the subsistence allowance, Daojiu is probably an outlier among the mountains and seas.
Apart from anything else, the annual income of those Shanhai named in the hospital is more than several million.
In the past, in Shen Qian's eyes, Liu Changqing was considered poor, but his opponent's combat power was comparable to that of mountains and seas, and he could spend 60 million to buy a space crystal.
Not to mention that the bank card balance is 90 million and the fixed assets are countless.
Compared with these people, Dao Jiu is really... miserable.
Seeing Shen Qian in a daze, Dao Jiu thought he was worried and hurriedly explained excitedly.
"In the future, I will work as a guard for Mr. Shen, and Baiwang Palace will pay me a salary of 500,000 yuan every month. It will definitely be enough for me to spend, and I can also save a lot."
Shen Qian came to his senses and realized that this was the ultimate reason why Dao Jiu was willing to be a guard for a year.
But if he remembered correctly, if he directly exchanged his contribution points for a mountain and sea guard at the Hundred Kings Palace, it would seem to be equivalent to one million a month.
Shen Qian was not sure whether the price of Daojiu was relatively cheap or whether he had been deceived.
"Since we are going to be together for a year in the future, why not tell me about your past? After all, I know nothing except your name." Shen Qian asked.
Dao Jiu scratched his head and began to talk about his own origin.
Dao Jiu was not called Dao Jiu before. It was the name he changed after he achieved Shanhai.
He is an orphan. His parents died in an unverifiable war. He grew up in an orphanage and then attended a public middle school.
Although his background was not very good, Dao Jiu's martial arts talent was unexpectedly good, and he was somewhat innate with supernatural power. In the end, he was admitted to the Northeastern United Martial Arts University.
Dao Jiu, who had more resources in the university, made rapid progress, and was later spotted by a club as a member.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Qian suddenly interrupted Dao Jiu, "What's the name of the club you just said you joined?"
"Qianxing Club, what's wrong?" Dao Jiu was a little confused.
"Hmm...then what?"
"I got a lot of resources from Qianxing Club. When I graduated, Qianxing Club had an assessment. As long as I passed it, I would get a chance to trial."
Dao Jiu smacked his lips and recalled: "I passed the test, and they left a 'way' for me. After I broke through to the peak of a high martial artist, I completed the trial and understood that 'way' Then it became mountains and seas."
Can Qianxing Club help its members achieve great things?
No wonder it is called the Cradle of Mountains and Seas.
Although it is just a combination of mountains and seas, mountains and seas are mountains and seas.
However, Shen Qian still wondered: "Why don't you try to break through the mountains and seas yourself?"
"It's too difficult." Dao Jiu said with a look of shame on his face, "I have tried for ten years without success, and I don't have enough to eat. In order to get subsidies, I can only follow other people's 'path'."
…It’s really a simple reason.
"Then how did you enter the Hall of Hundred Kings?" Shen Qian asked the most critical question.
"I actually don't know what the Hundred Kings Palace is." Dao Jiu scratched his head, "It's just that after I completed the trial and broke through the mountains and seas, a prince found me and said that I was qualified to become a guard of the Hundred Kings Palace, and he also promised a lot Benefits, then I joined.”
"But after joining, there was no movement. I have been waiting for more than a year. I am still wondering. I finally received the notice a few days ago, and then I came to see you, Mr. Shen."
Qianxingshe, Baiwang Palace.
Could it be that...
Shen Qian seemed to have suddenly figured out some surprising fact, his expression became strange, and he remained silent for a long time.
