Chapter 6: The Mysterious Treasure of the Youth
The tall street trees could not block the scorching sunlight of July, and the pedestrians on the road were sweating like rain, and Chen Jiu was one of them. "Oops, forgot how to get home." Chen Jiu sighed helplessly. Hanshui City, a second-tier city in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, has never stopped the pace of construction. Every year, there are non-stop demolitions and reconstructions. More than 20 years later, the neighborhood where Chen Jiu lives has also undergone great changes, and the city has changed to a different shape, Chen Jiu naturally can't remember how to go home, but he has no money to take a taxi.
He could only look for it slowly, and Chen Jiu could only ask as he walked. When he slowly groped his way back to the home he missed, it was already past 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as the door was closed, a woman ran out, and she was naturally Chen Jiu's mother, Chen Lin. Chen Lin's hair was casually coiled up, and she was wearing white pajamas.
"Myson: Did you have fun with Eno's birthday today? Come hug one. Chen Lin said with a smile. Then he opened his arms and gave Chen Jiu a big hug.
Chen Jiu was stunned, his mother more than 20 years later is exactly the same as his current mother.
Alas, the years have made some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but they have not left a trace in her heart. My mother can be described as a wonder, it sounds good to say that the mentality is young and the ugly is naïve, and a lot of people of the age like cartoons and Korean dramas, and they haven't changed for decades.
"Ahh Chen Lin held Chen Jiu's face and looked at it strangely.
"Okay, Mom, go cook, I'm hungry." Chen Jiu said as he pulled her hand away.
"Oh, I'll go." After saying that, he ran to the kitchen happily
When the dishes came up, Chen Jiu regretted it, he actually forgot about this stubble, usually grandma cooks at home, these days grandma should have gone to relatives, and he and his mother are eating outside. My mother's cooking skills can't bear to look at directly, and I can't finish eating to see if I can see my luck. My father was in Beijing all the year round because of work, and I didn't want to go to Yanjing because I couldn't let go of my friends, so my mother stayed and became a full-time mother. However, her role is only to wash clothes and chat with Chen Jiu, washing clothes is thanks to a high-end automatic washing machine at home, and there is a dry cleaner near the community, and chatting with her is actually pulling herself as an audience in the name of talking to herself.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Chen Jiu was desperate.
Stir-fried beef cubes with cucumber slices, stir-fried small tomatoes with large tomatoes, hot and sour tofu, black kelp and winter melon soup.
Why am I cheap
After eating this torturous dinner, Chen Jiu returned to his room, locked the door, and sat on the big bed he was nostalgic for.
Suddenly, some flashes of light appeared, and several olive-shaped blue gems with strange runes in the center appeared on the bed.
"Sure enough, the Philosopher's Stone is still there." A meaningful smile appeared on Chen Jiu's face.
The specific history of the Philosopher's Stone cannot be investigated, and it is not clear which civilization it is a product of. The Philosopher's Stone, which was discovered about 500 years ago, is scattered all over the world. They can endow the festerer with supernatural special abilities, and because of this, the unknown inner world has been formed, which uses the supernatural as the blood and the three major organizations as the skeleton, secretly controlling many dark forces, consortia, organizations and even the regimes of some small countries in the world, and any of them can easily destroy the superpower if they jump in front of the stage.
The people of the three major organizations divide them into three levels, K (King), Q (Queen) and N (Knight) according to the role of the Philosopher's Stone, and when the N-level Philosopher's Stone is close to the Q-level and K-level Philosopher's Stone, there will be resistance, while the Q-level and K-level Philosopher's Stone will not change in any way, and the N-level will resist K slightly more than the Q-class. The Q-level will be close to the K-level, and the K-level will not change. The Philosopher's Stones known in the three major organizations today are one for K-level, one for Q-level, and 60 for N-level. What the Philosopher's Stone commonly referred to by the Adepts also includes a small round gem, which was found with the Philosopher's Stone and has the same abilities, but the ability to grant the Mergeist is weaker, and it is called the Philosopher's Dust by the high-ranking members of the three major organizations, and this gem is at least a thousand.
Fused with the Philosopher's Stone, there will be a separate space for inanimate things.
"These philosopher's stones are all here, so the philosopher's stones in this world are still there," Chen Jiu thought.
Of course, he didn't know that just today, when he was still teasing Chen Xuehan, a big incident happened to Shadow.
The Philosopher's Stone K1 and Q1 suddenly became like ordinary gems, and even the runes in the center disappeared.
"Check! Get things sorted out and see what the other Philosopher's Stones are doing. A burly middle-aged man with short blond hair leaned back in a chair and made a mellow voice with his eyes closed.
Chen Jiu felt the condition of his body, the 12-year-old body was slightly weak, less than 150 cm tall, and weighed less than 40 kg. Strangely, the feeling of being closer to the Philosopher's Stone has decreased, but the degree of integration has decreased. Generally speaking, fusion is the key to the strength of one's ability. Chen Jiu's previous fusion with K1 had exceeded 70%, reaching 73%, but now the fusion level is only 12%, but the ability is more fluent.
The common way to improve the degree of integration is meditation, that is, to empty oneself and constantly try to communicate with the sage stone in the body, but Chen Jiu is an outlier, and the degree of integration will automatically rise without doing anything, but it is relatively slow.
It is now the summer vacation of the sixth grade of primary school, Chen Jiu has plenty of time to train himself, although his ability is relatively special and the physical requirements are relatively low, but it is very important to have a strong body in actual combat, he must have enough strength to protect the people he loves from harm, the power of the world is everywhere, and he has so many sage stones, it is only a matter of time before he is noticed by them.
Chen Jiu was excited when he thought of the upcoming junior high school life, his friends were all in the same school, and he had his own Xuehan. After the excitement, Chen Jiu fell into contemplation again, now he must lay a good foundation for the future, and he must make good use of the advantages of his rebirth, but the specific plan is not yet clueless.
For the next ten days, Chen Jiu trained every day according to the plan for 2 hours in the morning and another 2 hours in the evening, and spent most of the rest of the time meditating, and sometimes went to Wu Yinuo's house to be a sandbag for Xia Yu. He doesn't have much time to sleep these days, and he feels that he can increase his strength because of his ability, and he doesn't have to worry about physical damage at all. On this day, he passed through the living room and heard the local news being broadcast on TV: "Hong Bin, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, made a speech today on the previous inspection of the surrounding counties and districts."
Pregnant! You can get a sum of money first, and you have to spend money on all aspects after you go to school, and you don't have to worry about spending more money, and you can do some interesting things with money. So Chen Jiu's daily routine has one more item, stepping on a point.
