I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 420 - 213: The Saint Joins the Xi Rong Team
Zhang Huaping was momentarily stunned.
Dizzy!
It really is Dizzy!
Chief Patrol Envoy of Ximen.
When she confirmed Dizzy’s identity, she still found it unbelievable.
Like a little beggar on the street, who appears the next day as a grand general commanding immense respect and riding a tall horse.
Zhang Huaping’s heart was in turmoil, silently pulling her daughter along to queue up for the Demon Hunter teacher test.
She didn’t care about the strange glances others threw at her; failing the test wouldn’t cost her anything.
Plus, that Dizzy...
Suddenly she leaned to a person nearby and asked, "Dare I ask, what’s the situation with this Patrol Envoy?"
The person, eager to display knowledge, began introducing passionately, "Talking about Dizzy, the legend compares to Jian Xin, Xu Huan..."
Zhang Huaping was dumbfounded after listening.
Dizzy was a scholar who was noticed on the street and then quickly ascended, overseeing the overlooked city walls, and coincidentally welcomed by the Xirong Divine Craftsman...
However, only Dizzy was accepted, not his family.
Zhang Huaping understood in her heart: "Dizzy’s family must be the Blood Separation Flower family."
"What a pity for their estate, almost reaching the peak in one leap."
Zhang Huaping and Shi Youxing’s first reaction was pity for the other party.
However, Zhang Huaping’s reaction was deeper.
To her, not accepting the Blood Separation Flower family as steward was the right decision!
In her eyes, only Dizzy seemed normal in the whole estate, while the other small blacksmiths...
Accepting them as subordinates, how could one bear it?
Licking Painting Cards, eating dirt...
She didn’t want the great Divine Craftsman she admired to be tainted by those mad Demon Cultivators from the estate!
While pondering, she entered the interview room and saw Dizzy.
Seeing Zhang Huaping, Dizzy felt immense satisfaction but didn’t show recognition, instead standing aloof with hands behind his back.
"You may introduce yourselves now."
Dizzy said.
The cultivators skilled in demon hunting then showcased themselves.
Dizzy nodded, selecting a few of the best, including Zhang Huaping.
People immediately showed dissatisfaction.
Dizzy said, "Don’t judge by their Realm. Even though everyone here is at least Four Viscera Realm, the test is about technique, not cultivation... You lack the skill to hunt low-tier demon beasts. We are opening a low-level course."
...
Xirong Academy.
Sword Fairy, Doukou Hong, Lan Zhou, and Xinyi Baisan were in a secret room watching this, with Dizzy’s name as a teacher.
"This awakening setup seems somewhat inadequate," Doukou Hong said.
Awakening Embers strictly belongs to the Physician’s academic field.
Everyone knew that the medical skill legacy of the Xirong Divine Craftsman was extremely advanced.
The current awakening experiment involving Dizzy, in their eyes, was a biological experiment by this Physician.
After all, this is how Physicians conduct experiments.
The Xirong Physician, who researched soul splitting and fusion, surely went through many similar experiments.
"Each family conducts such awakening experiments."
Xinyi Baisan said, "Awakening is not simple; besides fulfilling a desire, this Ghost needs enough qualifications, talent, and luck."
"No worries." Sword Fairy said confidently, "Let’s give it a try... If successful, we open a second technical breakthrough."
Luck factor?
Whether Dizzy awakens or not, isn’t it the planner’s decision?
The planners pamper them all the time, secretly altering probabilities; another change wouldn’t be unusual!
"By the way, are there any results for the city wall we requested?" Sword Fairy looked at Doukou Hong.
For Divine Techniques and Spiritual Roots fusion, she relied on this professional expert.
Since the Ark Series no longer needed her, she could devote herself entirely to the second project of inspiration fusion.
"Yes, results are in already!"
Doukou Hong revealed a smile, "Just like [Ark], we strive for perfection. Not only does it have protection like [Ark], but the new city wall defense magical artifact also possesses a necessary feature for the future era: universal amplification."
"I call this power the [Amplification Defense Tower]."
Doukou Hong said, it’s a gigantic defense tower, and its greatest feature is universal application.
Standing on the tower, attacking can amplify the combat power of the city wall ancestor’s cannon platform.
For example, the Sword Fairy in front, standing on that defense tower, can amplify her Rice Flower Sword’s combat power!
But the downside is clear; you can only attack standing on this tower defense, making movement inconvenient.
It’s a high tower used for defense.
"It really is tower defense! A movable defense tower? How can it still be called tower defense?" The Sword Fairy was very pleased, "We suggested a direction, and you’ve achieved results."
"Not bad."
Doukou Hong also felt elated inside.
The Doukou family felt they were about to take off.
The entire family was like rapidly revolving gears, countless divine doctors of the past working overtime.
Their direction was clear:
First, firmly occupy some basic general immortal artifact markets!
For instance, the Ark for mobile forces and the high tower defending city walls are keystones with strong utility.
First, clear the way for general magical artifacts; later those newcomers can only study niche artifacts!
The Doukou family can continue to dominate the next era.
"Very good."
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind.
Everyone looked and was surprised upon seeing that person’s visage, "Emperor!"
"No need for formalities," Xin Xichen smiled, radiating a spring-like warmth, "Today, I’m not the Emperor but a scholar like you."
"You can ignore my combat power; I wish to join you in research, to be part of your Xirong team." His expression was sincere and earnest.
Sword Fairy: ???
Before, while in front of people, he was very aloof, full of imperial majesty.
Now, he carried a scholarly, knowledgeable aura, with a warm bookish atmosphere... and appeared very approachable.
"Saints should appear dignified in public, but privately there’s no need to be rigid."
Xin Xichen smiled, casting his gaze upon Doukou Hong,
"The Doukou family is a spirit farmer lineage; you should remember me. Our Xin dynasty Saints never managed worldly affairs but worked hard, personally delving into the people and leading various teams."
"Past Saints have laughed heartily, covered in dust and soot, together with the alchemists in front of the pill furnace."
"Sweating profusely while swinging large hammers with blacksmiths in their forges."
"Discussing planting techniques with spirit farmers in the fields, covered in mud."
"We nearly walked among various teams, leading human development."
Doukou Hong indeed knew such records existed.
During the Xin dynasty era, spirit farmers were the weakest profession, yet the Doukou family was never looked down upon by the Saints. Even the Saints of Xin dynasty discussed agriculture with them, joined in Tao discussions.
"Today, as I join the Xirong team, you can treat me as one of the team; my knowledge may be somewhat behind the times initially, but it should catch up soon, not falling short of your contributions."
The Last Saint gently said, "I’m not the one who always sits on the throne without leaving, disconnected from the people, the high-spun Emperor."
The Sword Fairy, always bold, quipped, "Who knew the one who never leaves the throne in the Capital City?"
Xin Xichen laughed heartily, not hiding, "If I don’t trap him, I couldn’t get out, and only one of us can survive... you’ll soon understand that he can only change the era from 0 to 1, his mission is complete, whereas after the Xin family regains power, we can quickly change the era from 1 to 100."
"Is the Royal Family really that powerful?" The Sword Fairy was curious, "Is it related to your Royal Technique, the knowledge to unify the world, or technology?"
Xin Xichen showed a hint of surprise.
He did not enjoy putting on airs; discussing knowledge and pioneering the future with others as a scholar was a pleasurable task.
Authority is very uninteresting but necessary to hold; sitting on the throne reveals immense loneliness. He understood better than anyone that having a group of like-minded friends who would debate and share heated discussions was the most joyful experience.
However, his identity made many fear him, and even entering a team inspired instinctive courtesy towards him.
This little fellow in front made him feel quite alright.
Xin Xichen chuckled, dispelled the weariness from his eyes, and teased in the playful tone of the small artifact spirit Sword Fairy, "This tower defense is intriguing, ushering the Nine-State into a new era of defense, reinforcing the city wall ancestor a second time. I might need just ten hours to finalize the design blueprint."
He wasn’t boasting with these words.
As the strongest scholar at the peak of a certain era in human history, exaggerating would be disrespectful to his academic achievements.
The forging technology of this era barely differs from his Xin Dynasty era.
With a bit of learning, he had already grasped the forging technology of this era.
