Chiba Michiko looked nervously at the slowly rising charcoal fire in front of her.
This is no ordinary charcoal fire.
But spiritual fire.
To be precise, it was the spiritual charcoal that she had continuously poured into the charcoal over the past few days.
Although, it is only the most basic spiritual charcoal.
But the scene when it burned was already like a miniature psychic tide.
The rolling spiritual energy, along with the flames, swept and burned.
The small kitchen is full of brilliance.
"Michiko, you are so awesome!" Next to her, Chika Fujiwara, who had changed into the uniform of Jiangcheng University, opened her beautiful big eyes and looked at Michiko Chiba in surprise.
"This is nothing!" Michiko Chiba looked at the burning spiritual fire. While controlling the burning rate, she carefully flipped a piece of pork chop in her hand.
She is at a critical moment now.
Grilling food with spiritual charcoal or spiritual fire is not an innovation.
Many people do!
but……
Roast ordinary food with spiritual fire and cause it to change.
This is an unprecedented initiative!
Although, she has succeeded several times in the past two days.
However, this piece of pork chop was roasted for Lingsang.
Must be perfect!
Therefore, Chiba Michiko's attention was extremely concentrated.
She slowly turned the pork chops in her hands.
In the depths of her pupils, a faint red color quietly appeared.
It is the result of her hard work these days!
The crystallization of the 'Entropy Control Technique' recorded in the book "Spiritual Food".
Relying on this mental method is described by "Spiritual Food" as "the method of getting started".
She was able to know and control the strength between the pork chop and the spiritual fire in her hands at any time.
only……
She is still too weak.
Therefore, after only roasting for a while, she had to move the pork chop away, take a rest, and wipe the sweat from her forehead.
"Cousin Fujiwara!" She turned her head, looked at Fujiwara Chika, and asked, "I heard that the Physics Department of Jiangcheng University allows auditing, right?"
Fujiwara Chika nodded.
All universities in the federal empire are allowed to audit.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you have permission to enter and leave the campus.
Michiko Chiba blinked and asked: "Then... the audit hearing at Jiangcheng University? Where should I apply? Have you made inquiries?"
"Well!" Chika Fujiwara said, "I've already done some research for you! It's at the school affairs office at the south gate... If you pay 1,500 yuan a month, you can get a hearing!"
The auditor system is an invention of the federal empire.
The original intention of its establishment was to provide a way for poor scholars to enter school. The first university in this country was converted from the Imperial College. The universities that were subsequently established were basically based on the past official schools.
Reconstructed.
For example, the famous Yuelu University was formerly known as Yuelu College. To this day, Yuelu University has an ‘Eight-legged Research Institute’.
So? Along with these universities, they were established one by one.
A serious problem? It was exposed to the Taizu at that time.
Tuition fees are expensive? And educational qualifications? are controlled by the upper management.
Then there was the auditing system.
This is also a tradition of the past.
In the past, there were often examples of cowherd boys lying outside the windows of private schools, studying hard, and eventually becoming successful.
Taizu of the Federation? Institutionalize it.
Initially? Auditions were even free.
Anyone can take a small stool outside the classroom and listen if they want to.
But, as the country becomes more and more prosperous.
Compulsory education law is fully implemented.
The auditor system gradually changed its flavor.
This has become the route of "saving the country through curves" for many foreigners who cannot get into universities in this country.
Many people rely on tourist and business visas to go to those prestigious schools of their choice and then attend classes.
In this regard, the Federal Empire had no choice but to introduce a fee-paying system for auditors.
As for cancellation?
That's something no one dares to do.
The legal status of ancestral laws is roughly the same as that of the Constitution and cannot be easily changed.
Unless absolutely necessary, no one has the courage to risk the conservatives' attack by disturbing the "ancestral law."
Once the label of 'unfaithful and unfilial' is attached, it is very difficult to take it off.
And, on the other hand, the education system actually likes the auditor system.
There is no distinction between teachings. This is the teaching of the saints.
Whether it is the Datong sect, which claims to be a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, or the Republican sect, which claims to be the spiritual successor of Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong, they all like and welcome "people with lofty ideals" to seek knowledge through their own efforts.
On this point, both parties agree.
That's why this hearing is so cheap.
After conversion, it is a little more expensive than tuition.
"Michiko, do you want to listen?" Fujiwara Chika asked.
"Yeah!" Michiko Chiba nodded.
The "Spiritual Food" she received was the supreme secret book of food taught by Lingsang.
There are enough mysteries in this that she will never be able to learn in her lifetime.
And want to master and understand those mysteries.
It doesn't just require having great extraordinary strength.
More knowledge is needed!
Especially the knowledge of physics!
otherwise……
She knew that she might never be able to truly learn the secret technique!
For example, the current introduction to ‘Control Entropy’.
It requires more than extremely sophisticated psychic control skills.
It also requires a certain knowledge and understanding of physics.
Energy conservation law……
The laws of thermodynamics…
Mechanics…
are all involved.
After only practicing for half a month, Michiko Chiba already has a profound understanding.
Not studying well...
I'm afraid that even though she has extraordinary power, she will never be able to enter.
This is like a strong man.
If you don't understand fighting and scientific training, you will be a barbarian with no brute strength.
But if you know how to fight, you are good at using science to plan and train.
Then, he is an athlete who can get bonuses in the fighting ring.
More like the ancient craftsmen.
Although there is fine craftsmanship, after all, he is a 'craftsman' who only knows the appearance but not the reason.
But I can do some "strange and cunning" things.
But if you learn the technology and knowledge.
For example, today's senior fitters and special technicians.
Then, you can easily create the artifacts that the ancients thought were miracles.
But is the strength of Hercules worse than the athletes in today's fighting arena?
Are the craftsmanship and thoughts of ancient craftsmen not as good as today's workers?
no.
The difference between them and people today is that today they have mastered science and technology and can use it to serve themselves.
The same goes for psychic powers!
Especially the food!
This is what Michiko Chiba feels after practicing in seclusion these days!
However, Michiko Chiba did not tell Chika Fujiwara about these things.
It's not that I can't trust her.
It’s because she couldn’t hear me even if I said it!
After resting for a while, Chiba Michiko picked up the pork chop and continued to grill it on the spiritual fire.
Sizzling...
Sizzling...
The fat is roasted by spiritual fire.
Under the influence of her "Control Entropy" technique, the spiritual fire, pork chops and her own spiritual energy began to slowly resonate.
The texture of the meat is changed little by little.
only……
In just a few seconds, she removed the pork chop and started panting heavily, dripping with sweat.
She is still too weak!
I know too little!
Therefore, she had to take her time with this pork chop.
Taking this opportunity, Michiko Chiba asked: "Cousin, these days, you deliver meals to Lingsang every day..."
"What did Ling Sangke say to you?"
Fujiwara Qianhua shook her head: "Every time I go, Lingsang seems to be very busy..."
She sighed as she thought about the mysterious bookstore owner.
"It's okay!" Michiko Chiba said with a smile: "Huang Shigong tested Zhang Liang and observed him for a long time..."
"Cousin, don't be discouraged!"
"Keep up the good work!"
"Yes!" Fujiwara Chika nodded seriously. She was already sure that the bookstore owner was the 'hidden master' in her cousin's mouth.
That's how great people are.
In the book, every person who impressed the master has gone through various hardships and tests.
…………………………………………
The plane landed slowly.
Zhang Hui was the first to step off the cabin.
Song Shihui, who had been waiting for him for a long time, immediately surrounded him with Xia Ping and others.
"Mr. Zhang!" Song Shihui stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Can you please make a special trip..."
"I'm really ashamed..."
"No trouble!" Zhang Hui took off the scarf he was wearing. The former tiger of the empire was now fully recovered from his injuries. The fault was that the safety of the royal family was inseparable from him. He was already running around.
So, he looked at Xia Ping and asked, "What do the Zheng family say?"
"Mr. Zhang..." Xia Ping replied cautiously: "My subordinates have already interviewed the Zheng family and several other consortiums that want to get involved..."
"They have all expressed their support and firmly support it!"
"Humph!" Zhang Hui snorted coldly.
What he dislikes most in his life are those financial groups controlled by extraordinary families that rely on their financial resources and influence.
Even regarded as a national danger!
but……
But he had to endure them.
After all, state rules and regulations are here.
Guards in black cannot do things according to their own preferences.
Otherwise, what is the difference between it and those extraordinary families who bully others and bully the weak?
What can you do to convince the public?
Therefore, he could only endure it.
But once someone is caught by him, he will never show mercy!
This is also the source of his past nickname: Imperial Tiger.
Tigers roar in the mountains and forests, ruthless and ruthless!
"Mr. Zhang..." Song Shihui looked at Zhang Hui and quickly smoothed things over: "I don't know, I don't know, so forget it..."
Within the Black Guards, there have long been two groups with different opinions.
Song Shihui and Zhang Hui can be regarded as typical representatives of these two groups.
And the two of them also correspond to the Datong school and the Republican school of thought in the current academic world.
Take Song Shihui for example, he doesn't like to force others, but prefers to cooperate with others.
He doesn't think that powerful extraordinary beings are any 'unstable factors'.
As long as they abide by the laws and systems.
Then, everything else can be left to their own devices.
This is a typical Datong faction’s proposition.
Not so with Zhang Hui.
In his eyes, every extraordinary family that sticks together is an 'unsettling factor'.
The reason is simple - learn from history!
In his opinion, each of these extraordinary families who are united may be the future 'Wei Boya Soldiers'.
He is a potential traitor and traitor.
The reason why they are obedient now is just because they are "coerced by power".
At some point, there will be no repressive power above our heads.
Wei Boya's soldiers may soon go to Beijing to depose the emperor, or even directly support the military governor at the local level.
Therefore, Zhang Hui has always been inclined to suppress and attack forcefully.
No sand in your eyes!
Complete the task of eradicating evil!
And these two attitudes, reflected in the common government, are the different positions of the Datong faction and the Republican faction on capital.
The Datong faction embraces capital and believes that as long as it does not break the law, capital can do whatever it wants and their money can be spent however they want.
Because they believe that only in this way can innovation be encouraged and everyone can use their talents.
Not so with Republicans.
In the eyes of Republicans, capital is almost a silverfish.
They believe that if capital is not strictly controlled, capital will harm the country and the people.
In their eyes, every big capitalist is a potential criminal.
They have either already committed a crime or are preparing to commit a crime.
Just like the Shanxi merchants in the late years of the previous dynasty.
As Taizu said: Merchants have no country!
They must be watched closely!
Whoever dares to reach out will have his hand broken!
Therefore, the Datong faction is more popular in the mainland, while the Republican faction has its base overseas.
Fortunately, no matter what the Datong faction and the Republican faction think on other issues.
But there is one thing they all agree on: moderation!
The design of the empire is also the embodiment of the golden mean.
Moreover, they are basically elites and gentlemen.
Just like Zhang Hui and Song Shihui.
A gentleman is harmonious but different.
Even if there are different opinions, it is still a matter of course.
I won't break my face.
Moreover, in the affairs of the common people, the emperor had checks and balances, and the council of ministers and officials made compromises.
And in the extraordinary realm.
The governor can take charge and mediate conflicts, and there is an executive meeting of black-clad guards to make compromises.
Moreover, whether it is ordinary affairs or extraordinary affairs, in the end, there is a highest authority, Dali Temple, that can rule!
Therefore, even after three hundred years, this empire still maintains unity no matter how noisy it is internally.
Zhang Hui looked at Song Shihui and he smiled: "Since the general is here, I shouldn't say much..."
"It's just that they are too silly!"
"If they don't suppress them, they might even forget about the emperor!"
Wei Boya's soldiers don't exist now.
It doesn't mean it won't happen in the future.
Song Shihui smiled: "What Mr. Zhang said is not unreasonable!"
Although he is a moderate.
but……
On this issue, he supported Zhang Hui's vigorous and resolute action.
After all, even Datong officials who embrace capital, if they find out, capital actually dares to interfere with and influence the country's justice?
Sorry, please go die!
"I have ordered that the black-clad guards immediately stationed all project teams for review..."
"Until final confirmation of safety..."
"All projects are halted indefinitely!"
Zhang Hui nodded: "They know faces best!"
It has been more than two hundred years since the spiritual energy was revived, and the entanglement between the consortium and the Chaofan family has become increasingly profound.
To a certain extent, the consortium is the white glove of those powerful extraordinary beings.
This is true not only of the federal empire.
So is the whole world.
The difference is that in the federal empire, the most extraordinary people can do is make capital obey.
In many foreign countries, extraordinary beings are the masters of the country and the masterminds behind the scenes.
And even Song Shihui would never let those foreign things happen in his own country.
…………………………………………
Lingpingan looked at the clock on the wall.
It's already one o'clock.
But the little eDonkey still didn’t come.
He feels a little hungry.
"Well..." He stood at the door and looked around: "It's so delicious that you won't be afraid of being late..."
"Qianye-chan came so late, there must be something delicious!"
Before he finished speaking, the figure of Michiko Chiba riding a small electric donkey came into view at the intersection ahead.
He became happy.
I couldn't help but gear up.
"I wonder, what kind of delicacy did Qianye-chan cook today?" He thought, unable to hold back the tears on his lips.
Soon, Michiko Chiba, who came riding a small electric donkey, arrived at the door of the store.
Fuso girl, stop the eDonkey and take out the key.
Then, when she saw Lingpingan, she smiled sweetly: "Lingsang... Lingsang..."
She walked over quickly, holding the food box in her hand.
The Fuso girl's hair slowly swayed behind her head.
Behind him, in the sunshine, there is a small fox tail, swaying.
However, Lingpingan does not care about these.
He could already smell the deliciousness.
Tears couldn't help but secrete.
He stepped forward and asked, "Qianye-chan...what is there to eat today?"
He asked expectantly.
The Fuso girl raised the food box in her hand, her face flushed. She didn't know whether she was shy or happy. She bowed deeply, presented the food box, and said seriously in an attitude that seemed to be that of a subordinate to a superior:
