"Don't be fooled by Chai Haotian's superficial frankness."
While Shen Qian was distracted, Ling Xiao drank a glass of red wine and suddenly said, "No one who can sit on the position of city lord is simple."
"Ah?" Shen Qian heard something in the words of the fifth senior brother and couldn't help but asked: "What does the fifth senior brother mean?"
"It seems that he cares deeply about you, and it is true that he wants to help you serve as the city leader, but there is another very important reason that he did not say."
Ling Xiao said leisurely.
"What?"
"Normally speaking, once the lord of a city leaves office, the people will stagnate and even collapse, but there is an exception."
Ling Xiao saw Shen Qian thinking deeply and couldn't help but smile, "It seems you have already thought of it."
"Designate the heir personally?" Shen Qian asked.
"That's right." Ling Xiao nodded, "If the heir you designated is recognized and you personally support him to ascend to the throne, your people's morality will be preserved to the greatest extent, and there will be a symbiotic relationship with you, and your people's morality can feed back. His people's ways."
"In other words, the better you manage Jingcheng in the future, the better he will benefit."
"That's it." Shen Qian suddenly said.
I finally understand why Chai Haotian pushed him to the top.
"Of course, being selfish does not mean denying his character. He is indeed thinking about Jingcheng. People are complex creatures. This is not a black and white world. You can decide what is appropriate."
Ling Xiao smiled lightly.
"I know."
Shen Qian nodded, turned to look at the blurry lights under the night sky in Jingcheng, a little lost in thought, "Fifth Senior Brother, do you have a sense of...responsibility?"
"Huh?" Ling Xiao was startled.
"Isn't it often said in old movies that with great power comes great responsibility?"
Shen Qian murmured, "I've been a little confused recently. I'm obviously not a saint, and I even have many shortcomings, but I don't seem to have seen much suffering. I may have the ability to change some things..."
"Maybe some things are not my responsibility, but I still feel an indescribable guilt."
"Fifth Senior Brother, you have lived for so long and are strong enough. Do you have this strange feeling of righteousness?"
Shen Qian turned his head and stared at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows at first. After thinking for a while, he seemed to understand something. He smiled and said, "Is it because...the sergeants in Buya Valley?"
"Yeah." Shen Qian nodded.
"Normal."
Ling Xiao smiled casually and helped Shen Qian pour a glass of wine.
"Humans are complex creatures, but they are also social creatures. Your bonds are the meaning of being a human being."
"Rather than saying that with great ability comes great responsibility, it is better to say that with greater responsibility, greater ability comes."
"Junior brother, I am very pleased that you will always examine your heart. I hope you will keep it up and not become an 'inhuman' monster in the future."
"Fifth Senior Brother is talking about...the Martial Arts Department?"
Shen Qian remembered Shi Dingyan's scolding that day.
"It's not easy for me to evaluate the Martial Arts Department. Let's leave it to the princes to judge." Ling Xiao shook his head, "As for your confusion, it's actually not a big deal. Just follow your heart."
"Just like that ancient poem, after a lot of hard work, you are still strong..." Ling Xiao recited loudly.
"Let the wind blow from east to west, from north to south!"
Shen Qian blurted out, and then he and Ling Xiao looked at each other, laughed, and raised their glasses to drink together.
"Let's go. If you drink any more, the teacher will be angry."
Ling Xiao called the boss to pay the bill and said at the same time.
"Why is the teacher angry?" Shen Qian was stunned.
"I just came back to Jingcheng and didn't report to him first, but I came here to fool around with you. Of course the teacher has reason to be angry."
Ling Xiao said angrily.
"Even though the teacher seems to be very open-minded, he actually pays great attention to etiquette in his heart, so only the third senior brother who knows the most rules can always accompany the teacher. Do you understand?"
Ling Xiao lowered his voice for the last sentence, almost humming it. Fortunately, Shen Qianer was smart enough to roughly guess what Ling Xiao was talking about.
Shen Qian originally wanted to refute, because the boss was very easy-going in front of him, but when he thought of Liu Changqing's tragic past, he became less sure.
……
Shen Qian and Ling Xiao returned to Babel Tower. Ling Xiao went to see the boss Gao first. Shen Qian and Shi Dingyan exchanged pleasantries and then returned to their 99th floor.
Although the boss Gao has returned, it will still take a day or two to set up the Heaven-Seizing Formation, and we still need to wait for other senior brothers and sisters.
There was not much time, and Shen Qian was too lazy to go out and mess around. He just happened to be in seclusion for two days to improve his strength again.
The renovation cooling-off period on the 99th floor has passed and it has become habitable. Shen Qian went directly to the private training room with an area of 100 square meters.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass of the training room is an infinity swimming pool connected to the balcony.
The layout of the mansion is so awesome.
...but there is only one solitary training blanket in the huge training room, which looks very empty.
Shen Qian had no choice.
Although Big Brother Gao paid for the renovation, and the renovation company also gave away some basic daily furniture, he could only deal with eating and sleeping.
Just a little furniture, which obviously does not match the temperament of a mansion.
But if all the space of more than 3,000 square meters is filled with high-end furniture, the cost will be huge, and Shen Qian doesn't have the spare money for the time being.
Not to mention that training equipment is the most expensive, such as a high-frequency treadmill, which costs hundreds of thousands for any Pheasant brand.
If you follow the standard configuration of the Kyushu Budokan diamond training room, you can have a starting price of five million.
Considering Shen Qian's progress, upgrading is another huge problem.
"It's still not enough. I still have to struggle with millions..."
Just as Shen Qian sighed, his bracelet vibrated.
"Your bank card with the last number 1024 has been credited with Hua Xia Yuan, and the balance is .78 Yuan. Dear Mr. Shen, our bank’s latest launch..."
Shen Qian perked up.
Yes, City Lord Chai is so efficient.
It’s as efficient as having your voice heard.
At this moment, Shen Qian was still slightly in a daze. Unknowingly, he had accumulated quite a fortune.
When the college entrance examination just ended, Shen Qian only had about two million. Later, the Ministry of Education awarded three million in cash, and the Ministry of Martial Arts awarded five million.
Then Jiang Zhongjunwu gave 10 million, plus today's 10 million, and fragmentary rewards from some local schools, the total adds up to nearly 35 million now.
In addition, Shen Qian also has a useless five million exchange coupon and a space ring...
Including fixed assets, he has become a rich man of approximately 50 million.
Oh, I almost forgot, the contribution value of Baiwang Palace can be exchanged for 20 million, which is 100 million in minutes!
Thinking of the Hall of Hundred Kings, Shen Qian couldn't sit still anymore. He took out the golden ball and logged into the virtual space.
Just wanted to see if all my last replies were accepted.
……
Shen Qian opened his eyes and found that he was already sitting on the throne.
Before he had time to say hello to Wan Ning, who was wearing a suspender skirt, he was greeted by the sound of "ding dong ding dong".
"Dear Baiwangdian members, if you have new community news, please check it in time!"
"Your reply has been automatically adopted by the system, and the contribution value of 50 points has been automatically added to the balance. Please check it in time!"
"Dear members of Baiwangdian, you..."
A series of prompts made Shen Qian a little confused.
At a quick glance, he found that the unread messages in his community mailbox actually showed "99".
What hornet's nest is this stirring up?
Shen realized later that it had something to do with his replies.
He took a rough scan and found that of the thirty messages in the entire interface, six were messages about bounties being received after the replies were accepted, nine were messages about replies being unlocked by others spending their contribution points, and the remaining fifteen were all from Private messages in the martial arts discussion forum.
The contents of those private messages are also varied.
"God of War? Starting position."
"Boss, I would like to ask you a little bit, are you a prince? Can you read my post? I am a newbie, begging for help!"
"What is your number? Since you dare to call yourself the God of War, don't be secretive!"
"After reading your post, I have a doubt that I want to discuss. I have been studying twin martial arts for decades, but you said that the end of twin martial arts is still two merged into one. Can you explain in detail why? I am willing to spend one hundred contributions It’s worth it, I look forward to your reply!”
"God of War, do you want to try how soft Shanhai's waist is?"
"..."
There are those who are provocative and dissatisfied, and there are also those who ask for advice, discuss, hiss, and make appointments... Although I guess fishing is more likely,
Shen Qian studied the martial arts discussion area again and suddenly realized that because he had not turned off his privacy settings, others could view his reply records.
He replied to so many posts in a short period of time, no wonder it attracted a lot of attention.
Shen Qian ignored those private messages for the time being, but clicked into his community information and looked at his balance.
Even with some psychological predictions, Shen Qian was still stunned for a moment.
"Contribution value balance: 1032 points."
In just two or three days, Shen Qian's contribution value skyrocketed by more than 600.
While Shen Qian was staring at it, his balance jumped again and became 1033 points.
Shen Qian realized that the more than 600 points were not only the total amount of "fixes" he had received, but also many of them were the contribution points paid by others for viewing his replies.
1,000 points, converted into Chinese currency, is a genuine 100 million.
No need to round up, Shen Qian realized that he already had 100 million.
Shen Qian almost couldn't resist the urge to order a set of the most expensive body-training equipment.
...Forget it, Kyushu Budokan is still suitable for me.
Shen Qian, who was not inflated, calmed down and opened the martial arts discussion forum again.
At a glance, Shen Qian saw the bright red post: "Who is the God of War?"
I clicked in and took a look. There were nearly 200 replies. Although many of them were duplicate IDs, it was enough to show the popularity of this post.
Shen Qian scrolled down and took a look. There were various guesses and ridicules, but no one guessed No. 98.
It's normal. In everyone's minds, they basically think that this "God of War" is the new vest of an old club member. There is more discussion about whether the "God of War" is a prince or not.
It's great to make a fortune silently.
Shen Qian re-screened the golden posts and found two answers with a contribution value of more than 30 points.
This time he was more restrained and did not reply to many posts at once.
After finishing it, Shen Qian returned to the personal interface and opened the exchange system.
One thousand contribution points should be enough for a good consumption.
There are many treasures in the exchange system, including psychic equipment that Shen Qian needs to use in the near future, and the prices are also different.
In fact, although one thousand points of contribution value is a lot, you still need to be cautious in how you spend it.
Shen Qian fell into thinking.
What does he lack most?
The psychic equipment can take a while. He still has five million worth of exchange coupons that are useless.
There is no need for martial arts anymore. Shen Qian estimates that with his current strength, he can learn two-star martial arts at most.
What two-star martial arts skill is as awesome as "Shadow Blade"?
"A treasure that quickly increases your strength!"
Shen Qian suddenly realized what he needed.
His progress is actually not slow. However, while others can advance by increasing their strength by 100Kg, he may need ten times.
So Shen Qian seemed unhappy when he felt like this.
Shen Qian looked at Wan Ning, who had been waiting quietly beside him, and forced himself to shift his gaze from Bai Shengsheng's thighs, and asked: "Wan Ning, is there anything that can quickly increase your vitality?"
"According to your needs, there are twenty-nine kinds of treasures to choose from in the exchange system. After excluding various restrictions, there are three types that are most suitable for the beginning warrior realm. Please check it out."
After a quick operation, Wan Ning screened out the three types of exchange systems that were suitable for Shen Qian.
Shen Qian looked around and couldn't help but stare at the three treasures, two were elixirs and one was a spiritual treasure.
The so-called spiritual treasures are some rare treasures that are born after the spiritual energy is revived. They cannot be manufactured artificially. They are born and raised by the earth and are relatively rare.
The first elixir is "Nayuan Dan".
After looking at the introduction, Shen Qian understood that Nayuan Dan was an advanced version of Rongyuan Dan. However, because the refining materials cannot be artificially cultivated, it is not common in the market and only circulates in a small area.
The effect of the Rongyuan Pill on today's Shen Qian is negligible, but the Nayuan Pill is different. It can steadily increase the amount of vitality.
A Nayuan Pill can increase your vitality by one tael.
This "two" is used very spiritually, and Shen Qian was not sure how much energy one liang had for a while.
A beginner in the realm of warriors can take up to a hundred pills. After that, they will no longer be able to take them due to the precipitation of the medicinal properties, otherwise there is a risk of backlash from the vitality.
The selling price of one piece is three contribution points.
Shen Qian did the math and found out that in the outside world, a Nayuan Pill would cost close to one million!
Hiss, what a luxurious elixir!
You must know that this is the elixir for the beginner warrior realm.
One million yuan can increase your vitality by one tael. If your family has no mines, you really can’t afford it.
No wonder this elixir is so unpopular.
The second type of elixir is "Juding Dan".
The name means "three flowers gathering at the top". After taking it, it can increase the body's magnetism in a short time and absorb vitality faster.
There is no limit to this, but the effective time varies from person to person, ranging from a few days at most to a few hours at the shortest.
The selling price of one piece is five contribution points.
...Another million pills.
The third rare treasure is a piece of jade called 'black jade', and there are only three pieces left in stock.
The effect of Black Jade is somewhat similar to that of Juding Dan. It lasts longer and can reach more than one month, but the growth rate is not as fast as that of Juding Dan.
The selling price is 40 contribution points.
Does this thing cost 10 million?
Shen Qian bared his teeth and once again deeply felt what it meant to be "poor in culture and rich in military affairs".
If he hadn't had a thousand contribution points, I would have just given it a try.
As for what to choose?
Shen Qian quickly came up with an idea...
Only children make choices.
Of course he wants them all.
One hundred Nayuan Pills, ten Juding Pills, and three pieces of black jade.
After clicking Redeem, Shen Qian's contribution was directly deducted by 470 points.
It is equivalent to Shen Qian, who just felt like he had 100 million, spent 100 million in the blink of an eye...
Shen Qian had a headache when he thought about how luxurious he was when he was just a second-level martial artist.
Then when the warrior is promoted, he will not spend one billion every minute?
