Lingpingan ate his own steamed dumplings and tofu puffs while listening to the morning news.
Today's news is also very boring.
Basically just trivial things.
Hearing this made Lingpingan feel like yawning.
After finishing the last steamed dumpling and the last mouthful of tofu curd, Lingpingan put down the chopsticks in his hand, burped, and turned off the TV.
"Get ready!" said the young online writer, gearing up.
He opened the backend and looked at today's data.
123.
Before going to bed yesterday, it seemed to be 92?
"The progress is obvious!" he said happily.
Looking at the recommendation votes again, it has reached 357. It increased by almost 20 votes last night!
This chapter says that this is the first time five articles have appeared.
very good!
"Sure enough, gold will shine wherever it is!" Lingpingan was very happy. He felt that he had found the right path.
I believe that it won’t be long before the entire online literature will be shocked by his emergence!
So, he immediately updated a chapter, then opened the document and started coding.
……………………
Hanli stepped on the soft turf.
In my ears, I heard the chirping of birds again, and my nose once again smelled the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Above our heads are the dazzling stars.
It's night now!
"I don't know, how long have I been gone?"
She felt the smell of spiritual energy in the air.
Compared with before she left, the concentration of spiritual energy in the world seemed to have increased a lot.
"Here is..." Behind Han Li, Xiao Ai looked at the world curiously. The concentration of spiritual energy in the air was very weak, only about one-tenth of the main material world, and could not be compared with the heaven.
but……
Xiao Ai's talent allows her to easily feel the number of souls existing in this world...
This is a world with hundreds of millions of people?!
Xiao Ai was stunned.
I’m afraid the main material world doesn’t have such a large population, right?
In other words...
This should be the place where a powerful divine system can be born and nurtured, right?
But……
She cannot sense the star realm, and there is no trace of the existence of the Kingdom of God.
so……
Is this a desert of faith?
If the gods knew about it, I'm afraid all the gods would go crazy!
"This is my world!" Han Li turned around and looked at the guest she had brought back unexpectedly. She stretched out her hand: "Welcome to the civilized world!"
During this trip to the abyss, Han Li not only accomplished one of his most important goals, he drank the potion of freedom and released the shackles of the abyss.
More importantly - Han Li has established the confidence to defeat the Abyss!
Are the abyss demons strong?
Of course it's strong!
But they have a fatal flaw - their civilization and organization are too low.
Each abyssal level is an independent force that hates and attacks each other.
If humans could combine their own civilization and technology with the arcane civilization from Netheril.
The hope of pushing back into the abyss will greatly increase!
At least, you can have the ability to protect yourself.
but now……
Han Li has a problem that needs to be solved.
That is - what time is it now?
When heading to the abyss, Han Li already knew that the time flow rate in the abyss and on the earth were different.
Even in the abyss, the flow rate of time is different at each level.
This is likely to cause time disruption.
She desperately wanted to find the nearest city.
Holding Xiao Ai's hand, Han Li walked out of the woods and came to what seemed to be an abandoned highway.
On both sides of the road, vehicles that had been abandoned for a long time were parked on the side of the road.
Many are even blocked on the road.
Inside the vehicle, one can still see bones.
Are these the unfortunate people who fled the great catastrophe?
Han Li walked to an abandoned car with the door open. In front of the car door were scattered white bones in police uniforms.
Apparently, the police officer was maintaining order when the catastrophe occurred.
but……
The unarmed police, who don't even have firearms, are no better than civilians in such a disaster.
Han Li squatted down and found an ID that had been soaked by rain and blurred from his rotten underwear pocket.
Most of the handwriting on the certificate is no longer legible.
but……
The stamp on the certificate is still very clear.
"Am I in Beidu City?" she thought.
Beidu is an industrial city southwest of Donglin City.
During the catastrophe, because it was located inland, it did not receive timely support from the country's armed forces, resulting in the loss of the city.
A large number of civilians fled in all directions.
In the end, the country had to reluctantly abandon the city.
Since then, this area has been basically abandoned.
Behind Han Li, Xiao Ai looked at this strange world. She looked at the wreckage and bones on the ground.
"The power of the abyss once came here...Although it was weak...but I can smell it..." The Aithorn Celestial Clan is extremely sensitive to the power of the abyss!
"Yes!" Han Li said: "They attacked our world..."
She thought of her teacher and the countless sacrifices she had witnessed.
Over the past twenty-three years, catastrophes have plunged billions of humans into desperate situations.
But it also brings everyone together.
The people who united together finally persisted until the day when hope came.
Thinking of this, Han Li took Xiao Ai's hand and said: "Xiao Ai... let's go, I will take you to my hometown..."
The straight-line distance between Donglin City and Beidu City is about 400 kilometers.
Along the way, there will be several villages and towns inhabited by gargoyles and harpies.
Go ahead and put them away!
Hanli thought.
So, she led the little girl from the Acer Celestial Clan and walked along the road towards Donglin City.
…………………………
Qin Keqing drove her car to the street near the person she was going to visit tomorrow.
She drove slowly and soon arrived at the gate of a school.
She parked the car on the side of the road and got out.
She looked at the school gate. It was a very ordinary school gate, with an iron door locking the school inside.
Faintly, the sound of reading loudly could be heard coming from the school.
The federal empire’s college entrance examination was born out of the ancient imperial examination.
Therefore, the examination system is very strange.
The exam is held at the end of August every year, and results will be available before September 10th.
During this period, the school had actually finished the summer vacation and had started.
As for college students, it will not be until October.
In this way, the first semester for college students actually lasts less than two months.
Just enough for the freshmen to complete their military training.
Therefore, the education sector has always wanted to reform.
But the problem is that this matter is a tradition that has existed since Taizu's reform.
Therefore, conservatives, especially the old empires, are firmly opposed.
As for the reason?
The old empires can always find 10,000 reasons.
Anyway, in the hearts of these people, the laws of their ancestors are absolutely immutable.
Especially this kind of system that was established at the beginning of the founding of the country during the Taizu era.
They will fight whoever wants to move!
Therefore, Imperial College students generally study for five years.
When we walked to the school gate, people had already begun to gather here.
Most of them are parents, waiting for the college entrance examination results to be announced.
Looking at this situation, Qin Keqing couldn't help but think of the scene during her college entrance examination.
Her parents stood guard at the school gate two or three days in advance, waiting for the school to publish the results - even though she told her parents that she could get the answer immediately through TV and the Internet.
But people are still used to and enjoy seeing the announcements at the school gate.
After all, this is a tradition that goes back thousands of years.
Being named on the gold list is the most honorable moment for every candidate and parent.
Qin Keqing walked closer and heard the parents' discussion.
"My girl's score this year is pretty good... I just don't know how many points she will get if she actually opens the book?"
"My son is the same..." Another parent said: "The results are very good! I just don't know if the real score will be the same as the estimated score..."
When people say these words, their faces are full of smiles and optimism.
Qin Keqing changed direction and heard the discussion of another group of parents.
"My kid said, if you don't pass the key points this year... then you will have to repeat the exam for another year and you will definitely pass the exam next year!"
"It took a lot of effort for us to encounter children who are so hardworking and serious. We can't miss it..."
Qin Keqing quietly returned to her car. She closed the car door and fell into deep thought.
This is the second high school in Chengdong District that she has visited.
Judging from on-site visits, black swans really appeared in this nearby area this year.
This year's college entrance examination results, the two schools within the scope, have shown a straight upward trend!
As a result, almost all students may have reached the first level.
The focus rate is even scarier!
Next year, these two originally mediocre schools are expected to become the most popular schools in the entire Jiangcheng City and even the entire Guangnan District.
"It seems that the legend is true..."
"Sure enough, this place has become a blessed place similar to the one illuminated by Wenqu stars..."
Thinking of this, Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance.
She wanted to pick up the phone several times and call her alma mater.
But in the end, she let it go.
This is not only due to professional ethics, but also because she understands that it is not her turn to intervene in such matters.
Once this year's results come out, every inch of land in this area is really at a premium.
The top prestigious schools in the Federal Empire might also covet this place.
The reason is simple.
Since even students can get good grades here.
What about research institutions?
Those cutting-edge physics laboratories are inevitably tempting.
And here, there happens to be a huge abandoned state-owned industrial park.
I am afraid that all the laboratories of top universities will go to great lengths just to occupy a piece of land here and build a branch institution!
Therefore, even if she reported the news in advance, she would not be able to influence the outcome.
Besides, her alma mater may not be able to compete with those prestigious schools that have produced many first ministers and even great protectors.
After starting the car, Qin Keqing slowly turned out.
At the same time, she dialed the private number of Princess Rou'an through the phone in the car.
After a beep, the other party connected.
"Your Highness... the minister is Qin Keqing..."
"Um……"
"Weichen is currently building Jiangcheng City No. 3 High School west of the road..."
"Um……"
"Wei Chen will come to the door in person tomorrow morning..."
"Yes! Wei Chen understands!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Keqing let out a sigh of relief.
She knew that she would face an unprecedented challenge tomorrow.
Come forward on behalf of the royal family and invite a possible powerful extraordinary person to the imperial capital.
However, the royal family’s intentions cannot be revealed.
Let alone let him realize the purpose behind it.
Everything must be the decision of the Meritorious Children Committee itself and has nothing to do with the royal family, let alone the black guards.
On the one hand, he must be persuaded to go to the imperial capital.
The other side is that you have to treat him like everyone else.
So, she was actually dancing in shackles.
No, dancing in shackles might be easier than her.
What’s even more troublesome is that this thing must succeed!
If she couldn't succeed, Qin Keqing knew that she might be eliminated.
She took a gentle breath and said to herself: "Come on! Qin Keqing, you can do it!"
She is determined to serve as the federal and imperial cabinet minister, so she cannot admit defeat!
Not under any circumstances!
…………………………………………
Walking on the abandoned highway, keep moving forward.
Cross a collapsed viaduct and cross a river.
Ahead, signs of human activity slowly appeared.
There are also traces of farmland on both sides of the road.
At this time, the morning glow also appeared from the east.
Looking at this beautiful morning glow, not only Han Li was very happy, Xiao Ai was also happy.
"It's so beautiful!" The angel, who had been trapped in the abyss for who knows how many years, sighed with emotion.
"Yes!" Han Li said, "That's why I will defend all of this to the death!"
She will never sit back and watch her world become a layer of the abyss.
Become the lair of those demons!
At this time, the roar of the motor was heard on the road ahead.
A heavily equipped tank appeared in sight.
A soldier's voice came to my ears: "We are the peripheral security forces of Donglin City. Please identify yourself immediately! Please identify yourself immediately!"
The turret was already being raised, and the strong light from the searchlight came over.
This is a necessary warning measure!
As Han Li listened, she gently pulled out her spiritual blade and pressed a button on her wrist.
A radio wave identifying friend or foe is randomly sent out.
The tank stopped immediately after receiving the radio wave.
Then, an officer emerged from the tank. He saluted Han Li in the bright light: "Colonel Han Li, welcome back!"
"I am Wang Gan, Lieutenant of the Third Tank Battalion of the Donglin City Security Department!"
Han Li returned a military salute and then asked: "When did Donglin City pull the cordon here?"
"Report to Colonel Han, we pushed the base here a month ago!"
"Minister Wang is already making arrangements to recover Beidu!"
"A month ago?" Han Li frowned and asked, "How many months is it now? How long have I been away?"
The lieutenant replied: "Report, according to the report, Colonel you have been missing for four months!"
Four months!?
Hanli became serious.
If she remembers correctly, she stayed in the abyss for at most half a month!
In other words, the flow rate of time in the abyss is indeed different from that on the earth!
"Take me to see Minister Wang!" Han Li became anxious.
She began to worry that there was a gap in the flow of time between herself and the mist.
What if ten years or even a hundred years have passed in that fog!
Then, there is no doubt that she is likely to face the suspicion of the foggy bookstore owner.
