Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 124 - 121: Who Says the Candle Dragon Is an Alien God!?
Even two powers that are supposed to be incompatible can coexist peacefully within the body.
If you apply this template to a martial artist...
It’s not impossible, is it!?
Fang Qingyu immediately thought about the previous idea of cultivating various Qi Blood Techniques.
"What are you thinking?"
Jiang Wei couldn’t help but ask when she saw Fang Qingyu deep in thought for so long.
"Oh, nothing."
Fang Qingyu snapped back to reality and shook his head.
"Tomorrow I’ll join the Divine Management Bureau, and you can take me with you when you go on missions in the future."
Jiang Wei suggested suddenly, seeing the situation.
This left Fang Qingyu a bit stunned: "Huh!?"
Jiang Wei looked at Fang Qingyu calmly: "If I want to regain my strength, I’ll need resources. Are you planning to provide me with resources?"
"I can’t afford it."
Fang Qingyu honestly shook his head.
He couldn’t even support himself at the moment, how could he support someone else?
But since Jiang Wei brought it up herself, there was no need for him to say much more.
There’s only one last thing...
"Is this Life Ghost going to rush over from another space as soon as it smells your scent?"
"Yes."
Jiang Wei was a bit taken aback but nodded.
"Alright, then rest well, see you tomorrow."
Fang Qingyu waved to her.
As long as this point remains unchanged, there will never be a loss in protecting her.
As for what she said about the power of eternal night before, it was too far from him, Fang Qingyu wasn’t interested.
Their relationship was like ordinary friends, one not putting on the airs of a god, the other not treating her as an exalted deity.
This was just right.
When Fang Qingyu left...
Jiang Wei walked to the full-view floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city’s night view.
Her expression was a bit confused.
She mumbled softly.
"Father... bless me..."
...
The next day.
Divine Management Bureau, 28th floor.
Fang Qingyu brought Jiang Wei early to find Duan Ling.
"What’s the matter?"
Duan Ling was processing documents in the office when he saw the two looking not so well.
Could it be that they regretted adopting right after deciding last night!?
"Xiaojiang said she also wants to join the Divine Management Bureau, to serve the Federation and humanity."
Fang Qingyu smiled and pushed Jiang Wei in front of him.
Duan Ling was taken aback, looking at Jiang Wei, "Decided so soon!?"
"Yes, sister."
Jiang Wei showed an innocent smile, without a hint of compulsion in her eyes.
Duan Ling’s gaze kept shifting between their faces.
Finally, she nodded.
"Alright then..."
"But I have to tell you, she’s not mature enough yet, and you have to take full responsibility for her decisions."
Fang Qingyu nodded.
"Understood."
Originally, this should have been the responsibility of the Divine Management Bureau. Now that he became the guardian, he naturally had to shoulder this responsibility.
Moreover, no one could let Jiang Wei get hurt.
"That’s settled then, she’ll be under your name for now."
Duan Ling waved her hand, starting to usher them out.
Normally, if the Divine Management Bureau was the guardian...
A seven or eight-year-old child couldn’t possibly join a combat team.
But now the guardian was Fang Qingyu, and she herself was willing to join, so the Divine Management Bureau had nothing more to say.
This often happened in the history of the Divine Management Bureau.
For instance, some young geniuses...
They joined the army to hunt Life Ghosts early on, became famous when they were young, and by their teens or twenties, they were already on par with the older generation, even the oldest generation.
"Let’s first get you some clothes, then buy a house."
Taking Jiang Wei into the car, Fang Qingyu drove straight to the nearby mall.
Since he chose to take her with him,
a dormitory wouldn’t be very convenient.
Might as well buy a house. Anyway, money now was just a string of numbers to Fang Qingyu.
Soon, after buying some children’s clothes for Jiang Wei,
Fang Qingyu brought her to a riverside viewing apartment and picked one to buy.
Close to the Divine Management Bureau.
And big enough.
It had four or five rooms in total.
In the future, if his team wanted a place to rest, it could accommodate them.
"Is this our new home?"
Jiang Wei, since her rebirth, mostly stayed in the orphanage, not quite familiar with the affairs of the new world.
Kind of like when Fang Qingyu first crossed over.
"Yes, pick a room for yourself."
Fang Qingyu pointed to the first and second floors.
Then he sent messages to Old Qiao and Lv Chen.
Telling them to come find him at the Divine Management Bureau when they recovered.
That pretty much would complete his team.
However, besides Old Qiao and Lv Chen, and Qin Hui, the three of them.
Qi Hao and Jiang Wei, are both just transitional.
In fact, Jiang Wei’s improvement speed... is likely to be even faster than Qi Hao’s.
After all... this is the Divine True Body.
Everything is ready.
Only then did Fang Qingyu take Jiang Wei to the Divine Management Bureau.
"Can I skip classes..."
Jiang Wei looked reluctant, everything else was negotiable... but attending classes was truly a bit of a difficulty.
"Just attend for now, we’ll talk about it later."
But Fang Qingyu also didn’t have a better solution at the moment.
It’s a compulsory education.
Moreover, it can help Jiang Wei understand the current world.
Attending some classes wouldn’t hurt.
After sending Jiang Wei off, Fang Qingyu eagerly headed to the training ground.
The supplementary materials for the Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Body had finally arrived.
The Hard Skills he had been thinking about, he could finally see what effect they would have once mastered.
In the battle with the Five-Pass God,
Fang Qingyu had greatly benefited from the physical strength, and according to Duan Ling, whom he overheard chatting with some team members, the key to Lin Team’s ability to kill a Same-Realm Divine Descent Body was the cultivation of a trace of the True Intent of Hard Skills.
Although Fang Qingyu wasn’t clear on what True Intent was,
the impression that Hard Skills were awesome, was already engraved in his mind.
Finding the person in charge of the training ground,
Fang Qingyu rented a closed cultivation chamber.
It was also the one recommended by a passerby the last time he wanted to practice Hard Skills.
This thing with Hard Skills...
People usually practice it in an enclosed environment.
Although the space wasn’t as spacious as the training ground, it was enough, with a large tub and a specially made copper furnace prepared nearby. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Fang Qingyu directly embedded the Thunderstruck Wood into the special copper furnace.
As the furnace heated up, web-like blue-purple electric patterns emerged on the surface of the wood.
The low-frequency thunder sound resonated in the room like the breath of an ancient beast.
Completely different from the Thunderstruck Wood heard of in the previous world.
But Fang Qingyu didn’t care about this detail.
He took off his shirt to reveal lean muscles, first grinding the charcoal from the burnt Thunderstruck Wood into powder and applying it on himself.
Then he added Red Copper Powder into the herbal bath.
He drank the medicinal soup brewed from Bitter Ginseng and Ox Knee Grass.
"Let’s begin!"
Fang Qingyu took a deep breath and leapt into the tub filled with the herbal bath.
The light golden liquid immediately boiled and churned.
Fang Qingyu’s skin vibrated at an eerie frequency, with fine Blood Pearls oozing from his pores, quickly coagulating into dark red scabs under the effect of the medicine.
"Hiss..."
Fang Qingyu groaned, clenching his teeth.
From the moment he jumped in,
his whole body was experiencing knife-like pain, as if a drill was twisting his insides.
Instinctively, he started circulating the Qi Blood Technique of the Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Body, his skin slowly exhibiting a metallic dark gloss.
At the same time, the progress on the diagram was rapidly increasing.
It has to be said, practicing Hard Skills is quite torturous.
He could only huddle in this narrow tub, enduring wave after wave of medicinal force in the herbal bath.
Until half an hour later.
Fang Qingyu finally opened his eyes.
Although tired, his eyes were bright and piercing.
He had become stronger again.
Stepping out of the tub, Fang Qingyu clenched his fists.
He could clearly feel the change from before.
If leveling up was like a warm current brushing by, clearly telling you that where I passed, the muscles were getting stronger,
then Hard Skills was like whipping your body over and over again.
Until your physical body became stronger.
The feelings of the two are completely opposite.
Yet...
The path to becoming stronger is unified.
That’s enough.
Looking at the diagram,
[Detected Profession Advanced Skill "Celestial Drum Thunder Sound Body" is activating (50/100)]
The progress was at 50%.
Just one more herbal bath was needed to master entry-level Hard Skills.
The talent of Musashi’s Spirit Core hasn’t forgotten about the aspect of Hard Skills.
The speed is quite astonishing.
Then Fang Qingyu took a shower and headed to the 9th underground floor.
To begin today’s journey of learning to disassemble Life Ghosts.
"I heard you killed quite a few Three-eyed Ghosts?"
Today’s Zou Lingzhu spoke a bit more than yesterday, even starting to inquire about the Life Ghosts Fang Qingyu had killed.
Fang Qingyu listened, nodding.
"Yes."
"Hmm, be careful with that third eye, it’s one of the more precious prosthetic eye materials in the First Realm, considered a common material in circulation, valuable stuff."
Zou Lingzhu lightly reminded upon seeing this.
Without giving Fang Qingyu a chance to speak, the day’s work began.
"Alright, thank you."
Fang Qingyu nodded and thanked, then didn’t speak again.
Instead, he glanced at the activation progress of the Executioner of Fate Ghosts...
[88/100]
Today he was determined to activate a new Profession!
