The morning sun shone on Shen Ming's face, and Shen Ming, who had practiced all night, slowly opened his eyes.
"It seems like the weather is good again. If life is so ordinary every day, it seems to be a good thing!" Shen Ming tried to catch the sunlight coming in from the window, but how could he catch the light?
"It's time to awaken the second element. I don't know what my second element is?"
"Get up early in the morning, embrace the sun, be full of positive energy, be positive..."
…
"Shen Ming?"
Shen Ming, who was rushing towards the Pearl Master Tower, suddenly heard someone calling his name and thought he heard it wrong.
Shen Ming turned to look at the man and woman who seemed to have never seen him before, with a confused look on his face.
"Have we met?" Shen Ming scratched his head, feeling that he had never met the two people in front of him.
The young man smiled and seemed not to mind at all that Shen Ming had no impression of him. Instead, he smiled and said: "Genius, you don't know me, but I know you! Maybe you have heard of my name.
After all, we are the only ones in the school who are thunder-type, right?"
"Xu Zhaoting?" Shen Ming reacted immediately and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. It seemed that when he met Tang Yue for the first time, he seemed to use this buddy's name.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't recognize it."
"It's okay, I can understand it! After all, you have taken less than ten classes in three years, and you are the only one who has not been expelled!" Xu Zhaoting said jokingly.
"Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Zhang Lulu."
The girl smiled slightly and looked a little shy. Her facial features were very regular and her clothes were simple. She did not appear to be from a wealthy family.
"You came to the devil to go to college, right? Have you gone to take the special recruitment assessment? Our innate advantage in the thunder system means that even if you are a special recruit from Pearl Academy, it won't be that difficult. What's more, you, a guy who can't be killed by lightning?"
Xu Zhaoting once again made a joke about Shen Ming. Both of them were from Bocheng, so even though the two had little contact before, Xu Zhaoting still felt inexplicably friendly when he saw Shen Ming.
Maybe this is what is often said about fellow villagers who burst into tears when they see fellow villagers!
The two chatted for a while, left each other's contact information, and hurriedly parted ways. After all, everyone has left their comfort zone now, and everyone has their own things to do.
"Xu Zhaoting! Since I tricked you once, I will save you once! Anyway, I will get back the interest from the Black Vatican sooner or later!" Shen Ming muttered to himself, looking at the leaving figures of Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu.
…
Because he had an appointment, Shen Ming went directly to the seventh floor this time.
"Are you here to awaken in the magic system?" The old man Shen Ming who walked towards him was a little surprised that he was so young, and continued to ask, "Middle-level mage?"
Shen Ming nodded, not wanting to hide anything.
"Looks like he's still a genius!" The old man's attitude improved instantly. Geniuses are appreciated and respected everywhere. There is no doubt about this.
"Do you have any needs? Which department do you want to awaken?"
"No need!" Shen Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head. His strength did not allow him to be extravagant.
"Don't be so anxious to refuse. My handling fee is cheaper than what you booked. Of course, the probability of any awakening stone cannot be 100%! Mine is no exception!" the old man said with a smile.
Okay, another layman who wants to pay more! Shen Ming asked tentatively: "How much?"
"1.5 million!"
Shen Ming almost choked to death without a sip of water. You've already paid ten times the price and you still call it cheap? Are you a professional? Uncle, you're not here to play with me, are you?
"This is the first time I've seen such a young mid-level mage be troubled by money!" The old man saw Shen Ming's embarrassment and said teasingly, but his admiration for Shen Ming became even stronger.
It is quite difficult for an intermediate mage who is young and has no background to practice in such a short period of time.
The official complaints were the most fatal, and Shen Ming also felt that he was doing too badly! Intermediate mages were supposed to be absolute guests in Bo City, but it was a pity that Shen Ming was really poor!
"Come with me!"
…
The old man led Shen Ming to the awakening room. The operation was no different from the original awakening requirements at Tianlan Magic High School.
Shen Ming slowly placed his hand on the black awakening stone, and the feeling of electric shock suddenly hit Shen Ming's brain. After a burst of pain, Shen Ming felt as if something was about to surge out of the depths of his brain.
out.
In the sea of stardust, beside the thunder stardust that shines with purple-black light, the colorful light becomes more and more intense.
"Congratulations to the host for awakening the emotion system and opening the second stage of the novice gift pack. Rewarding the fear system soul soldiers and the Seven Deadly Sins!"
…
"Cracked! I'm cracked!" The old man looked at the Awakening Stone in Shen Ming's hand in disbelief. There were even the slightest cracks on it.
This situation is unprecedented! The awakening stone can be reused, but I have never heard of a magician who can completely crack the awakening stone when awakening the magic system!
Shen Ming slowly opened his eyes, looked at the cracked Awakening Stone in his hand, and instantly had a bad premonition.
I cracked it! Will this thing cost you money? Did the Awakening Stone crack just because you said you would? It can’t be a low-quality product!
However, compared to the cracking of the Awakening Stone, Shen Ming is now more concerned about his awakened legal system.
Emotional system? Is there such a system in the legal system? What the hell?
"Um...does this have to be blamed on me?" Shen Ming asked with a cry and a smile. Isn't this a person sitting at home and the pot comes from the sky? He didn't do anything, so why did the awakening stone crack?
The old man took a deep breath, looked at Shen Ming with surprise, and said slowly: "To be honest, this is the first time I have encountered you in a situation like this for more than 60 years! What system have you awakened?
"
"It seems that the awakening failed!" Shen Ming chose to hide his emotions.
I am afraid that my legal system is unique in the world. If someone really discovers it, even if they are not arrested for research, it will cause trouble!
"The awakening failed? Impossible! It has never happened before that the first series of awakenings succeeded but the second series of awakenings failed!" The old man frowned and looked at Shen Ming and then at the cracked awakening stone.
The atmosphere was a bit silent, Shen Ming didn't dare to move!
"Young man, although I sympathize with your situation! I can understand how hard it would be to a magician to be unable to awaken the second element. A genius magician like you can only practice one element in his life. I can also understand the blow to you.
I understand! But..." The old man looked at Shen Ming with great sympathy, as if he felt sorry for the tragic experience of a genius.
"But...you will always have to pay for breaking something! The price of ordinary awakening stones is not that high, and 500,000 yuan will not be credited."
Shen Ming: "..."
Shen Ming almost squirted the old man in front of him to death without a sip of salt soda. After doing it for a long time, he still had to pay! But this is really not his fault. Did you use a low-quality product to fool me?
Shen Ming felt like crying at this moment. The 500,000 yuan he had just received was still in his hands. Did he just hand it over in vain?
"Master, can you be accommodating? I really have no money, I'm still young, and I don't want to bear the pressure of a loan!" Shen Ming could only choose to sell out at this moment. He really couldn't give 500,000 yuan. Psychologically
It's really hard to pass that level. I can only hope that the old man can lower himself a little.
The old man was slightly moved. Looking at Shen Ming's sincere appearance, he seemed to feel some empathy and said slowly: "I was just like you before, with no background and no resources, and got here step by step. So I understand your difficulties.
, but you broke the thing after all, so you have to give me the money!"
Shen Ming was completely speechless at this moment. Isn't this old man too unscrupulous? Since there is no way to bargain, can you not act like you can bargain? Where is all the foreplay?
"Card or cash? Online payment is not supported!" The old man didn't care what he was thinking. He took out a POS machine from somewhere.
"Uncle, you are really well prepared! You are not a professional, are you?" Shen Ming really wonders if this old man is a habitual offender? Is the awakening stone broken from the beginning? How can he be so skilled?
Shen Ming had no choice but to pay the money and leave in the end, otherwise what? This is the Pearl Mage Tower! If he really defaults on his debt, I'm afraid he won't be able to hang out in the Magic City the next day!
…
"It's really a lack of virtue! 500,000 yuan is gone, and I haven't enjoyed it yet!" Shen Ming couldn't help but complain!
"No, I have to find a job! Otherwise, I will starve to death!" Shen Ming finally made up his mind to find a job. It is not a problem to just sit here and have nothing!
…
At the highest level of the Pearl Master Tower, the old man from before appeared here now. What's even more outrageous is that he actually sat in the highest position of the president of the Pearl Master Tower.
"I said, President, why did you lock me in the bathroom again? If you are really so addicted and like to watch other people awakening to the law, you can give yourself an approval! It happens every time, you are so harmful to my soul
It hurts a lot!" A middle-aged man standing in the office said helplessly. There was nothing he could do about this disrespectful white-bearded old man. After all, who made this guy the boss of the Pearl Mage Tower?
"I don't want it. It's so boring to write notes for myself! What I want is to do whatever I want, but to be honest, I really met an interesting little guy today! Since you can make the awakening stone crack, it's really unheard of for me.
, Never seen before! I blocked this matter, and finally an interesting guy appeared! Don't be ruined by those self-righteous bastards again, go and delete his awakening record? Just pretend that he has never been here.
!” The white-haired old man touched his long beard and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Ah?" The middle-aged man was also a little stunned. He had never heard of anyone who could crack the Awakening Stone.
"It's very interesting that this little guy, I don't know what element he has awakened, but he doesn't even have the courage to say it." The white-haired old man became more and more interested in Shen Ming.
