Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 61: Concentrated Mind
It is now afternoon, the sky is getting darker, the rain is getting heavier, and there are fewer people on the road.
Xu Jingming, wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, walked alone in silence.
"Without the Blood Rain World's targeting, there is heavy rain outside the imperial capital, and I shouldn't run into any Black Lotus Sect disciples." Xu Jingming thought, he was not panicking, even if he ran into Black Lotus Sect disciples from a distance, the worst that could happen was that he could just run away! Without the world's targeting, the Black Lotus Sect team shouldn't keep chasing him.
As for encountering ordinary bandits?
As a top-notch master, Xu Jingming felt that when encountering ordinary bandits, the ones he should be afraid of are the bandits themselves!
“Huahuahua~~~~”
The rain is getting heavier.
Xu Jingming walked through the wilderness on the yellowed grass. At this moment, the official road was very muddy and not suitable for walking.
He walked quite fast. It took Xu Jingming only one hour to reach the destination, a distance of more than 100 miles.
"It was pretty smooth, and we didn't encounter any robbery." Xu Jingming entered the forest and began to look for the package. Tu Ling and Zhang Qing had sent a video to Xu Jingming after they went offline. Through the video of the action, Xu Jingming also knew the location of the two packages.
"On this small hill, next to a big short-necked tree, it's right here!" Xu Jingming quickly found the place where Tu Ling hid the package. After digging, he found the package hidden inside.
Xu Jingming couldn't help but show joy when he saw this.
"I told you, it's buried directly underground in a remote place. Even if the Blood Rain World guides it invisibly... it won't be easy for the natives of the Blood Rain World to find it." Xu Jingming said secretly.
This is a stupid method, but it is also a very efficient method. According to the information collected from the virtual world network, many cosmic citizen players in the Blood Rain world choose to hide in several scattered places.
Most of them can keep a lot of gains.
"Three thousand six hundred gold." Xu Jingming checked it and put the gold into the belt that he had prepared long ago with satisfaction. After putting the gold pieces in place one by one, he tied the belt around his waist!
The density of gold is very high. The thick belt prepared by Xu Jingming has only part of the space left, so it can easily carry a lot of gold bars.
"Go to the next one."
Just three minutes later, Xu Jingming found the place where Zhang Qing hid the package.
But this place was full of footprints and many places had been excavated, which made Xu Jingming's face change.
"It's gone." Xu Jingming also discovered that a big hole had been dug out where Zhang Qing hid the package! Everything was gone.
"Many people have been here." Xu Jingming observed the many muddy footprints around him and sighed, "Is this the invisible guidance of the world? Leading a group of bandits to pass by here? Did a bandit happen to find the hidden package?"
There were two packages of gold, and one package was lost, which was also expected.
He did not doubt that Zhang Qing would leak the news on the virtual world network, allowing other space citizen players to dig it out in advance.
because……
Xu Jingming rushed to the place where the package was hidden, and his speed was considered fast! And the muddy footprints here showed that a group of people passed by here. There was no need for so many space citizen players to rush here, and after discovering the gold package, they also dug up a lot of places around.
Zhang Qing had just become a citizen of the universe not long ago and knew very little about the virtual world.
Moreover, as the number one female swordsman in Xia Country, Zhang Qing's character is also trustworthy.
"We must hurry back to the imperial capital before the city gates close." Xu Jingming immediately returned quietly.
In the heavy rain.
Xu Jingming was alone in the wilderness. The sky was dark and the rain was heavy. Even an expert would have difficulty seeing clearly with the naked eye at a distance of a hundred meters. This protected Xu Jingming to a certain extent.
Everything went very smoothly. Xu Jingming returned to the imperial capital without encountering any robbery.
"It's done."
Xu Jingming returned to his permanent residence in South City.
Divide the 3,600 gold into three parts and hide them carefully! Unless someone comes to tear down the house and dig three feet deep, there is no hope of finding it.
"I won't put these 3,600 gold in the bank. After all, it's not a lot." Xu Jingming lay down on the recliner, took a pot of wine and some snacks, ate and drank leisurely, and watched the heavy rain outside. "When I reach the seventh level, I will find a way to collect 10,000 gold and sacrifice it directly."
…
Virtual world network, Xu Jingming’s personal space, inside the spaceship hall.
After the mission was completed, Xu Jingming naturally invited Liu Hai, Tu Ling and Zhang Qing to a banquet.
"Brother Xu, have you found the two hidden packages?" Tu Ling asked.
"It's pretty much what I expected." Xu Jingming smiled. "We harvested too much gold this time, so we were targeted by the Blood Rain World! My master and I encountered the Black Lotus Sect team on the way, and one of our hidden packages was discovered by bandits. We were lucky enough to get a package back."
Tu Ling and Zhang Qing nodded slightly.
"The more money you get in the Blood Rain World, the more you will be targeted." Liu Hai nodded, "I am still weak. If I had the strength of a top-notch master, maybe I could escape from the Black Lotus Sect's attack."
"For a top-notch expert, the actual combat bonus must be at least 20 times." Tu Ling exclaimed, "I have only just exceeded 5 times in my training so far."
"I haven't even reached 5 times." Zhang Qing shook his head.
"Those of us who have broken through on our own and become space life will soon be able to reach the sixth level." Liu Hai said, "After reaching the sixth level, life in reality can also transform into the middle level of space life! By then, it will be easy to achieve a 5-fold bonus in actual combat."
Zhang Qing nodded.
After all, she had just broken through not long ago and was still only a fifth-level starry sky life.
"There are so many delicious foods in the virtual world ." Tu Ling ate happily and praised, "There are all kinds of delicious foods in the universe, even foods that don't exist in reality. It's definitely a dream place for foodies."
Xu Jingming also ate with great relish.
"Just this meal today will cost at least 100,000 Universe Coins." Liu Hai said, "I can't bear to part with it."
"Master, you have now reached the first-rate level, and you can earn at least a million universe coins every month." Xu Jingming said with a smile, "It's okay to indulge yourself occasionally."
"Have you reached the top-notch level, kid?" Liu Hai looked at his apprentice. He could feel from watching his apprentice's moves from a distance that his apprentice's strength far exceeded that of ordinary top-notch masters.
Zhang Qing and Tu Ling also looked at Xu Jingming.
"Just barely reaching the threshold." Xu Jingming said.
"Wow--"
Zhang Qing's eyes widened as he said, "A top-notch expert, whether he is a sparring partner in the virtual world or hired by someone, can earn at least 10 million Universe Coins a month by finding any job."
Yes.
The eighth-level masters that Xu Jingming and his team had invited previously had a monthly employment fee of 35 million cosmic coins per person. However, as Xu Jingming's actual combat bonus was 20 times, his employment fee was also over 10 million cosmic coins.
In terms of practical skills alone, Xu Jingming is not much worse than an eighth-level master, but he is quite lacking in the mental aspect.
In the Blood Rain World, three masters like Xu Jingming working together are stronger than a hired eighth-level master.
"I can easily earn at least 10 million cosmic coins every month." Zhang Qing also sighed, "The gap between the citizens of the universe is really huge."
"In the universe, the gap between different evolutionary levels is astonishingly large."
Liu Hai said, "Jingming can reach the super first-rate realm. Even though he is young and mentally weak, he should be close to the seventh level."
"Still a little short." Xu Jingming said immediately.
"Seventh-order star life, eighth-order star life." Liu Hai said with emotion, "As time goes by, the number will decrease sharply, and the income will naturally increase sharply! Many primary civilizations in the universe don't even have an eighth-order star life. If it becomes a ninth-order source life... it is common to have three or five life planets as territories."
Xu Jingming and the others all fell silent.
Ninth level?
Even though Xu Jingming is only a little bit away from the seventh level now, the more he understands the evolutionary path, the more he realizes how difficult it is to break through and become a ninth-level source life.
The entire Blue Star civilization is also longing for...longing for a ninth-order source life!
This is also the most anticipated miracle for countless primary civilizations in the universe!
"We still have to practice and evolve step by step. The ninth level is still a long way from us." Xu Jingming said, "Master, Sister Zhang, Sister Tu Ling, I should have the opportunity to let you all become Blood Rain Guards of the Imperial Capital in some time."
Liu Hai and Tu Ling's eyes lit up.
"The imperial capital is becoming more chaotic now." Xu Jingming said, "The Blood Rain Guards are also making more money. You can go in and take the opportunity to make more money."
"Are you sure?" Liu Hai asked.
"I'm pretty confident. I'll tell you when things are settled," said Xu Jingming.
"Brother Xu, thank you!" Tu Ling immediately raised his glass and said happily, " It feels so good to hug a thick thigh."
Zhang Qing also raised his glass: "Xu Jingming, thank you."
"There are very few space citizens in our Xia country, so naturally we have to help each other." Xu Jingming said with a smile.
…
In the following time, Xu Jingming focused more on his "gunmanship" and practiced diligently every day, hoping to reach the seventh level as soon as possible!
However, after the Rainbow Spear Technique reached 99% of the sixth level, it seemed to be stuck and stagnated.
…
Bloody world.
Inside a restaurant.
"Try it, their ingredients are really fresh and delicious." said Qiu Tong.
Xu Jingming also tasted the food and praised it highly. Sister Qiu Tong is really a gourmet in the capital, having discovered so many delicious places.
"Have you heard?" Xu Jingming said while eating, "His Majesty finally sent Lord Wang Jiuyan to lead the expeditionary army."
"I know. The news has spread all over the Nanfu headquarters a long time ago." Qiu Tong said, "Lord Wang was originally the governor of our Nanfu, but now he has been transferred to fight against the rebels in the Western Region. In fact, the most suitable person to lead the army is Lord Fei. After all, Lord Fei is the most familiar with the army dispatched from the Eastern Region of the Empire. He can also take over the command as quickly as possible and command it with ease."
"Lord Fei is still in the imperial capital and has not been able to return to the Eastern Region." Xu Jingming said in a low voice.
"These struggles for power are too troublesome. Food is better. Eating delicious food is the most enjoyable thing." Qiu Tong said. She had been in the capital for a short time and was tired of the struggles for power. Most of her thoughts were on the food in the capital.
The food in the imperial capital is a hundred times more than that in my hometown, Lanyue City.
"The food is delicious." Xu Jingming also enjoyed the meal and no longer mentioned Lord Fei.
After all, they couldn't help Fei Qing with the power struggle among the empire's top leaders.
…
Time passed, and more than two months passed in a blink of an eye, and Xu Jingming's marksmanship was still stuck at level six, 99%.
The streets of the imperial capital.
"Victory, victory."
"General Wang Jiuyan led the army to conquer the Western Region of the Empire. He won six battles in a row and has defeated the main force of the Western Region rebels."
"General Wang Jiuyan has killed six of the eighteen kings in the Western Regions, including the King of Wei and the King of Su, and captured nine. The rebellious army in the Western Regions is not far from being destroyed."
The news just arrived at the palace in the middle of the night, and by daytime, it had spread throughout the streets of the imperial capital!
The whole city celebrated for a while.
"General Wang Jiuyan is really amazing."
"We have fought so many battles in the Western Regions before, and the Western Regions have become increasingly corrupt. But once General Wang Jiuyan went out, he won battle after battle, which is really amazing."
"General Wang Jiuyan is simply a military god."
Countless people in the imperial capital admired and praised General Wang Jiuyan from the bottom of their hearts. Because the rebels in the Western Regions were defeated...then they could no longer threaten the imperial capital, and the imperial capital could live in peace again.
What ordinary people hope most is to live a more peaceful life.
"A big win?"
Xu Jingming was walking on the street carrying some packaged cakes. He was a little surprised when he heard the news. Is this Lord Wang Jiuyan so good at leading troops in battle?
"Lord Wang Jiuyan has been away from the imperial capital for more than two months. He has defeated the main force of the Western Region rebels, but my spear skills are still stuck at 99% of the sixth level." Xu Jingming shook his head, walked back to his residence with the cakes, picked up a spear and started practicing again in the martial arts field.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The spear waved and tore through the sky. Although Xu Jingming had just learned the news of 'Wang Jiuyan's great victory', it had no effect on him. He was still fully immersed in his spearmanship.
For him, the evolution of life is the most fundamental!
Since igniting the light of his soul, Xu Jingming has become more focused in his shooting practice.
Use the power of the mind to control the whole body, completely condense the mind into one, and pour it into the spear in your hand!
Every move not only condenses the strength of the whole body, but also infuses one's own spiritual will!
The condensation of the mind and will is just a sentence, but in fact, 'condensation' is a process! Just like forging iron, it takes a hundred times of tempering to make steel. The condensation of the mind and will... also requires a process of tempering to make steel.
Every battle, every practice of shooting, every time of training the mind, is a process of "condensing" the spiritual will.
It has been nearly three months since the light of my soul was ignited.
Xu Jingming could feel himself making slow progress.
Finally, when Xu Jingming stabbed out, the concentration of his mind finally broke through a limit.
At this moment, Xu Jingming felt his brain was empty. This shot was not just a simple gun technique! It was also a shot of Xu Jingming's spiritual will!
"boom!"
When Xu Jingming fired the shot, his eyes were burning with joy.
He understood, he had made a breakthrough!
