Chapter 8: The Spirit Race

"They, are they going to kill me?? Well, it's scary! ”

Lan Mengqi slumped in the chair and shivered, her face was full of horror, trembling so much that her long ears were weakly folded to the side, and she still had that pair of dirty claws in her mind.

But what made the rabbit even more heartbroken was indeed the cheap civilian clothes on his body, only rags remained, the cold wind blew, and the two long legs were swishing cold.

"It's over, the little money left can't even afford to buy new clothes, do you want to wear that shameful performance costume again? Luckily, I ate two turnips last night and can last two days, so let's drink water and boil it this week. By the way, there is also the commission fee promised to Brother Zheng Li....... Ahh ”

The trembling rabbit was in self-isolation, touching the rags on her body with a desperate expression, but Li Jia next to her looked at her with a smile.

"Honestly, don't talk about those Africans, I really want to kill you....... As an unlucky guy who has just smashed half of his net worth, it is too much for you to jump out suddenly. It is no wonder that a seal without a conscience is suddenly exposed to the sun in a group of unlucky eggs. ”

Squinting, Li Jia smiled and shook her head, but the corners of her eyes were facing the opposite side.

He shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand, signaling that he really didn't want to do it, at least not for now.

"Mm-hmm, that's right, it almost became a bloody case...... If I come late. Rabbit, remember that you owe me two teeth. ”

Wu Sanjun covered his mouth, glared at Li Jia angrily, and then turned around and glared at someone harder, who was operating the contact watch with a serious face.

Cause? He "flew" down to relieve the rabbit, but he came too quickly and fell to the ground with his chin and lost two teeth.

If it weren't for the rocky landing of the flat sand and the goose that was too shocking and smashed straight into a certain discipline inspector, I'm afraid the bloody case would have happened........ Well, I'm afraid that crowd doesn't disperse so easily.

As for why he is so active.

[Hunter Wu: %......%&, the surname Zheng has no conscience, that rabbit is your mother or your new concubine, and he is so ruthless. MD, I can't tell whether it's more painful teeth or butt pain, we have a fateful relationship, you are not afraid that I will die directly on the ground, you heavy color light friend......]

With the footprints on Wu Sanjun's buttocks as evidence, he doesn't seem to be active, and now the chat screen is blocked with swear words.

[Disaster Preview: Nonsense, she's a three-colored stranger! ] The value is at least tenfold multiplied. She has only been here for less than a week, and the smell of otherworldly on her body has not yet dissipated, how many otherworldly materials do you think she can produce per week during this most valuable two-month transition period? 】

[Natural disaster preview: I am a straight person, and I don't play false. Even if we deduct what we have to turn in, we save some hair, nails, and bath water to sell to those Africans. As long as you say that the otherworldly materials of the three-color Inhuman, tens of thousands of yuan a month are not a problem, and you can get a small 100,000 yuan in the past few months, which is not worth more than your stinky man. 】

Glancing at his watch, Wu Sanjun's face was full of anger......

【Hunter Take: ........ Brother Zheng, you reacted so fast, kicked so well, kicked so accurately! This kick saved our prize money this year! 】

....... Just glanced at it, and while deleting the swear words on his input bar, he squeezed his face with both hands, and forced out a flattering smile.

Uh, buckteeth smiling with two front teeth notched, while slapping the sycophants in the input bar and singing praises.

[Disaster Preview: ....... I know, my own brother, how could I be without you, if it wasn't for your introduction, how could I receive this rich commission. 】

The two who typed very fast looked at each other, shook hands with one look, and everything was silent.

Make money, don't chill! For adults, it's as simple as that.

As always, it was easy to get a single cell in a few words, Zheng Li looked at someone who was smiling and talking to the rabbit, unlike the shark man, this one was a big problem.

The style of the discipline inspection department is very clear, if it can't be agreed, the rabbit's life is probably still in the countdown.

They don't care if they're valuable or not, if they have research value or not, they're just frantically trying to get rid of all possible threats.

In the words of outsiders, those who have been able to work in the discipline inspection department for three years without being kicked out/voluntarily resigned can probably only make a species choice between the mentally ill and the mad dog.

[Forecast of natural disasters: Section Chief Li, find a place, let's talk? ] 】

[Righteous Dog: Okay, I'd like to talk to you too.] 】

At this time, the person Zheng Li contacted at the beginning also came.

"Senior, are you looking for me?"

"Oh, Xiao Shiyu, this alien friend just won Sancai, she still has to apply for an identity ID, I have something on my hands, please help her." If you have time, you can help her with a prospective citizen training. I remember the one that had a shift every hour. ”

"Yes, but you're going to treat me to dinner next week."

β€œ...... I'm very poor, okay, okay, let's barbecue with the fire snake on the other side of the street, bring Liu Yabing, Ah Gou, and Xiaowu, you have taken care of me so much, I am going to treat you well. You set the time, but don't call it other departments, otherwise I, who am poor, can only invite you to a cheap buffet. ”

"Senpai, you did it on purpose, right....."

Called the former subordinates and asked her to take away the rabbit with a bewildered face, Zheng Li, who was relieved, invited the other two colleagues with a smile.

"The cafΓ© in the district hall is very good, go try it?"

-----------

"War with humanity? Friend, it was just a hunt, a pleasant hunt to pass the afternoon. You see, we don't even have to bring our own hounds and cannon fodder, and the number of loyal and despicable human races that makes me wonder if the reserved dog collar is still enough-by an undisguised exotic god in the era of the Great Collision. ”

Such a big breath? You're so strong and so don't go to heaven....... Well, it seems that later, he was really put into the furnace of eternity and ascended to heaven as an artificial sun.

"The ancients said that if you are warlike, you will die...... But the premise is that it is indeed a war, not a hunt in the eyes of others, when the gap between technology and technology is large to a certain extent, the other party's wartime gains are higher than consumption. At that time, the great war in which you gave up everything wholeheartedly became a one-sided hunt to please your opponents. ”

"So, the question is, if we really encounter such an asymmetrical war, as a weak side that is almost defenseless, how should we deal with it, these pictures and sculptures may be the answer, learn, imitate, and use for your own use, the representative of which is our birth ......."

The empty hall, the revolving corridor of nineteen doors, and the various reliefs of the historical world on the walls.

Under the four spirit jade statues near the entrance, there is a golden pool of water that shines with the brilliance of gemstones, and the liquid that flows is glowing with crystal spiritual energy.

Lan Mengqi was led by a professional woman with long light blue hair, Miss Lin Shiyu, a confidential secretary of the District Finance Department.

Tall and slender figure, close-fitting suit skirt makes it look more capable, pointed ears like sci-fi headphones with metallic luster, silver-white eyes faintly inhuman feeling, handsome as a demon face is in the forehead, inlaid with a silver-white diamond-shaped crystal.

To put it bluntly, pretty, but not very human-like.

Along the way, she used a silver bell-like voice to introduce Lan Mengqi to the district government hall and local history, but she couldn't seem to concentrate when she saw the other party.

When she was about to arrive in the lobby of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' Joint Office Center, she glanced at the rabbit muttering "what should I do tomorrow", smiled, and closed her mouth.

This co-working hall is probably the most important room of the entire Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it is even a little too important.

The road is wide enough for ten carriages to walk side by side, dozens of windows handle work at the same time, and the ground is a marble-glossed passage.

Reliefs, crystal chandeliers, sculptures, gold and jade fake potted plants, extravagant decorative styles, and even wood-painted screens and colored jade fake walls.

Most of the pedestrians who came and went had sad faces, as if attending a funeral, and occasionally two different people, but they seemed to be holding back a smile, and their steps were two points lighter, which was particularly eye-catching.

The atmospheric crystal lantern cluster reflects the administrative hall like a palace where a grand banquet is being held.

β€œ........ This is the Civil Affairs Department? There must have been a lot of corruption. The indiscriminate lending and construction of grassroots organizations, no matter what the world, is a big problem, heh, what 200 million poor county office buildings. , a billion deep mountain golf course ....."

The angry rabbit, who was still in heartache, whispered to himself, and halfway through speaking, he quickly stopped.

She found that under the echo of the empty hall, "there has been a lot of corruption", "200 million poor county office building", "1 billion deep mountain golf course" are constantly echoing, and the more and more loud they spread, the people around her are looking at her with strange eyes.

"Huh!"

In an instant, the rabbit blushed and lowered her head suddenly, and she instantly knew why the others had gone in silence.

The high roof has many false walls, and there is a resonant crystal clock, this is the design of the echo bar! It's too much not to tell me in advance! Is it new to bullying me country rabbits?

"You must have just arrived.... Let me explain a little bit. The Civil Affairs Department is generally the most elaborate among the government departments, because it also bears the birth place of the spirit blade. I'm not extricating myself from the inefficient bureaucratic zombies, in a sense, this is indeed the temple of the four spirits, and it is also the temple of humanity, and such a design is necessary. ”

As if he didn't see the rabbit's angry little eyes, Lin Shiyu still smiled and pointed to the four-channel twelve windows over there.

"Where can you register your identity documents, the four channels represent the four categories of primitive humans, beastly subhumans, aliens, and spirits in the cultural concept of human beings, and they have certain legal and ritual significance, so please be sure not to make a mistake."

With his head down, the rabbit hurried into the third turquoise passage, where there were still the least people.

There was a vacancy in the window, and she went up to it, thinking that it would be very troublesome to ask a lot of things, but she just filled out a form and did it in a few words.

The ID card could not be withdrawn, and after leaving the man's address, he noticed that no one was looking at her, and the rabbit walked curiously on the soft passage twice, and found that it was really super soft, and jumped twice hard...... Then he smiled lightly at Lin Shiyu's mouth covering and blushing in the face of Lin Shiyu, who was waiting at the exit.

"Oh, since a new 7-ton Inhuman citizen crushed the obsidian floor, the Inhuman Passage has been replaced with this Golem wing material, please feel free to jump, your weight should be fine. Uh, I'm still negligent, Inhumans can't be evaluated by appearance, can you tell me, do you have 20 tons. Please whisper, I hear you. ”

β€œ...... That, did I accidentally offend you. If yes, I apologize. ”

The rabbit asked cautiously, and her keen intuition told her that the beautiful young lady opposite seemed to have an opinion about herself.

"You didn't offend me, you didn't ....... Heh, I'm still really immature. Miss Lan Mengqi, your registration is over, but she hasn't started yet, I'm afraid you have to make another trip. ”

Following Lin Shiyu's guidance, Lan Mengqi's attention focused on the "baby" she was holding, which was what caused everything to happen.

"It?"

"It's her, what a beautiful child. Even without this rare blessing of the three spirits, she is amazingly beautiful and beautiful, and I have a hunch that the good time of afternoon tea with her will come soon. ”

It was a caring look with a mother's heart, and in front of Lan Mengqi, this metallic girl with a bit of bad eyes showed a completely different expression from before, which also made Lan Mengqi breathe a sigh of relief.

"You're the same ..... Spirits? ”

Lin Shiyu, who nodded with a smile, slightly tapped the crystal on his forehead with the index finger of his right hand, which seemed to be the symbol of the spirit clan.

Under Lin Shiyu's guidance, Lan Mengqi returned to the office window, only this time, she took the fourth red passage, the passage belonging to the Spirit Clan.

Facing the window staff...... The white-haired giant tiger with three crystals in the forehead, squatting on a chair and using its paws as a seal, can it also be called a staff?

"It's such a charming little cutie, as a mother, you have to be conscious, she must be a super beauty when she awakens, and most likely will cause a lot of trouble for the suitors."

This gentle aunt's voice, as well as the future that I don't know how far away it will be, makes the rabbits who are already strange don't know how to vomit.

"Okay, silver metal boots, 5.7KG at birth, very healthy, this child's prototype description is written like this, he is a good boy who is not belligerent. What's her name? ”

There is a faint blessing of three-color luster on the pale silver boots, and the delicate armor piece is more like a crystal flake under the reflection of the light, which is a pair of gorgeous crystal dancing shoes.

"Leaping Moon"

Subconsciously, Lan Mengqi said the name, as if it had been on her lips all along.

The next moment, the whole hall woke up, all the chandeliers shining brightly, and a gentle but loud declaration echoed in the echoing hall.

"Bless her, lovely Leaping Moon, new member of the Humans."

"Bless her, may she have an iron will."

"Bless her, and may the blessings of the four spirits always be by your side."

The first sound was from the Spirit Clan's aunt, but after that, it was the spontaneous behavior of the people in the hall, and most of them stopped their hurried steps and offered their blessings to the newborns of the clan.

"Bless her, I wish her to be lucky enough to meet a good master who understands her and loves her."

This blessing was written by Secretary Lin Shiyu not far away, but the rabbit always felt that there seemed to be some unknown resentment in it, and everyone else took the initiative to avoid her...... Uh, that glaring look, and a wordless threat.

"I'll treat her well."

As soon as he walked down the passage, the rabbit immediately assured Lin Shiyu.

"Good boy."

Stroking her long hair, Lin Shiyu smiled and touched the rabbit's ears first..... Uh, I couldn't help but smooth my hair more, and then touched the blessed "newborn" again, at this time, the blessing of the three spirits has begun to disperse.

After looking at the time, there was still some time before the quasi-citizen education class that started on the hour, Lin Shiyu pulled the rabbit back near the entrance of the hall, and kindly told him some "common sense" needed for life in this world. ”

"Wait, you can pick up a soul necklace at the exit of the Civil Affairs Hall, like this one....... It can convert your excess spiritual power into spirit crystals, which are hard currency and consumables, and are forever out of stock. It is said that top hunters can't starve to death just by selling spirit crystals. Don't wear it now, this child is still in her growth period, and she still needs a lot of nutrition. ”

"It's quite common, the birth blessing of a new child is only five or six minutes long, and if you are unlucky, it will be a bell. So these people are running fast here, and some people still pretend not to hear the birth bell, burying their heads and running, lacking morality. ”

After getting a little familiar, Lan Mengqi found that Lin Shiyu was not as cold and mature as she appeared, more like a female college student who had not graduated for a long time pretending to be mature than a mature and stable professional beauty.

And the jingling birth bell really only has one every four or five minutes, which makes the rabbits with sensitive hearing a little irritable, but the other people who walk on the red carpet (Spirit Clan Passage) are much more excited than her.

The excitement of winning the jackpot is the norm, and there are many people who jump and shout while running........ Well, isn't it a little too disgusting for this forty-something uncle to cry and laugh and rabbit jump.

Well, it's not that there is any discrimination against the uncle, it's just that this seems to be a believer in the women's clothing sect, and he hasn't taken off his pink night dress yet.

"Tsk, it's this kind of person who makes the world more and more chaotic. In terms of attracting attention, an example of crooked and heretical ways is topped by hundreds of normal people, which makes the messy cult more and more. I really sympathize with the brothers and sisters who were born because of them, if they have awakened their self-awareness, I'm afraid that the birth day is the black history of wanting to jump off the building when I think about it. By the way, the bell will also ring when the self-consciousness awakens, and it is grander than this, but that is quite rare, there is only one on average for several days, and I don't think there is a chance today. ”

Lan Mengqi, who didn't know what to say, noticed that many people seemed to be coming in from outside, and asked casually

"Many children are born outside, and as long as there is a simple temporary altar (as simple as writing one, two, three, four), there is a possibility of success. It's just that it's said to be more likely here...... In fact, our birth rate has never exceeded 0.5%, and for some people, it is almost the same everywhere. ”

"Oh, it's over."

The white-collar lady spread her hands, and her happy smile full of irony was full of malice towards Africans.

For rabbits, the communication with Lin Shiyu is very pleasant, especially to be able to get in touch with a lot of mysteries about psionic energy, the strange thing is that these days (when an idol) have not been exposed to it at all, obviously Lin Shiyu has said that this is the "common sense" that everyone in the world knows.

Well, the reason doesn't need to be expanded, but now that the rabbit has its own spirit blade registered citizen ID, it seems natural that the information blockade on her will be gradually lifted.

Chatting and chatting, the rabbit naturally asked about his future.

"That's up to you. There are those who come quickly and those who come slowly, those who are stable and adventurous, but I personally think that the first thing you need to do is to sign up for a few classes and take some certificates, or someone will find you a job. ”

Well, the rabbit whimpered, even ran to another world, and couldn't escape all kinds of exams, just imagine that he had no accumulation to start from scratch, and the rabbit wanted to cross again.

But in this regard, Lin Shiyu strongly recommends that the rabbit consult someone's opinion, even if it is mostly charged.

"You can trust Brother Zheng Li, no one is more reliable than him in this regard. I'm not talking about our Bailu District, there is probably no more powerful affairs officer and intelligence processor than him in the entire Shiqian City, you can completely leave the future choice to him, and let him choose the most suitable development route for you...... Well, as long as he doesn't want to pit you, and then his bad taste doesn't have a seizure, or he has a seizure and is tired of playing with you. Well, you're able to trust him, well, probably. ”

The more this is said, the more it makes the rabbit feel unconfident.

Wasn't it originally a gentle big brother image, how is it completely different from what I understand, this is really not a wicked demon in human skin.

"Hehe, I seem to be talking too much..... But Zheng Li's predecessors won't know, right? ”

In the face of the threat, the rabbit who nodded hurriedly could say anything.

Anyway, the metallic girl on the other side, the perfect image in her mind for the first time, has all collapsed.

Smiling at Lin Shiyu, she remembered something again, and slapped her head.

"By the way, the ability, you should have awakened the ability, the four spirits have upgraded your soul, opened your spiritual energy channel, and forged the first blade with your soul and spiritual energy, but it should also give you a way to change reality with your spiritual energy - that is, your ability. Don't tell me what the ability is, it's everyone's number one secret! Especially when an Inhuman like you might be engaged in combat-related work. ”

As if remembering something interesting, Lin Shiyu covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You can try to ask Brother Zheng Li what his abilities are, and the answer will be very interesting. cough,You can also choose to disclose your abilities,Then it is filed with the Civil Affairs Department,Other people and companies can directly consult,If the ability is excellent,Not only work entrustment、Employment notice to find the door,There is also a human resources subsidy given by the municipal government,I have this number every month。 ”

Looking at Lin Shiyu's three fingers, Lan Mengqi gasped.

"Three hundred? It's enough for me to change my clothes, can I prepay, I'm quite short of money now......."

"Three thousand. I'm not much, there are people in the city hall for 50,000 a month, which is enough for a suite in the fourth ring a year. ”

"Did you register at that window?"

Well, the rabbit turned her head without hesitation, and the jingling of the bell couldn't stop her.

Soon, the rabbit returned, but this time, her face was solemn.

"Do you give very little? The initial evaluation may not be accurate, and it is basically conservative, and the formal announcement is generally three days later, and it is often one order higher. ”

"Tactical A-grade, is it a good evaluation? He said at least five thousand a month. ”

In an instant, it was the metal girl, and she also showed a look of surprise.

You must know that even if more than seventy percent of the citizens choose to disclose their abilities, the subsidy for nine adults will not exceed 100 yuan, which is a symbolic thing for most people.

Lin Shiyu said that three thousand is not much, but in fact, he is still a little proud.

In the iron triangle of the spirit blade, he is a warrior with partial spirit (ability), and in the district government where there are many strong hands, his subsidy is also in the top ten.

The one that is fifty thousand a month? Well, there is only one rare fake orc unit in one district-the orc chief, normal people can't compare, and his subsidy can be ranked in the city.

"Tactical A-class? Awesome, I'm only tactic B+, what ability do you have? There's no need to hide, you have chosen the information to be public, and we can access it directly. If it's really powerful, sister, I'll help you get the commission. ”

Lin Shiyu showed a rare enthusiasm, she is a part-time adventurer, she actually wants to find a good teammate, the simplicity and straightforwardness of the rabbit is quite suitable for her appetite, and the same sex is not afraid of others misunderstanding.

Ability ratings don't mean everything, it's often a comprehensive rating of versatility and rarity, the user's own qualifications and spirituality are fundamental, there is no strongest ability, only the strongest user is not empty talk, the city's recognized strongest ability bias towards warriors is a tactical D's big road ability.

Of course, Lin Shiyu knows that a high rating does not mean strength, and the opponent is far from actual combat when he opens the psionic ability, but the A-level ability must have both practicality and rarity, and it is very majestic to say it, so that teammates are not ashamed.

But hearing the ability reported by the rabbit, Lin Shiyu instantly dispelled the idea of finding a teammate.

Halfway through, she silently tapped on the keyboard.

At the same time, in the cafΓ© of the district government hall, Zheng Li, who (admittedly) had a good temper, was a little unbearable.

No matter what he said, Li Jia on the other side directly refused, one by one, "There is no data to prove that she is absolutely harmless", "Even if the probability of attracting a plane war is only one in 10,000, as the executor of justice, I have the obligation to cut off the seedlings of this threat." "I know you want to make money from her, yes, your losses, I will make up for you privately, and my family has money. ”

"There's no data to prove that she's harmless, but there's no data to prove that she's harmful."

Similar words, it is impossible to impress the die-hards in front of him, and the more he chats, the more popular he becomes, Zheng Li wonders if the legendary Discipline Inspection Department is a brainwashing organization, how can it be okay usually, when it comes to work-related, one is crazier than the other.

"More stubborn than that idiot...... No, it's still that idiot who is stubborn, that guy doesn't talk at all, and he has already done it directly. ”

Zheng Li had already sensed that unless he could prove that the threat of the rabbit was zero, and that the spatial organ was an ornament, as long as the other party went back, he would definitely pull someone to cut it down.

I haven't cut it yet, but Li Jia feels that I may not be able to cut it.

Since he can't change the behavior pattern of the Discipline Inspection Department, Zheng Li also has to think about himself.

For the sake of a person from another world who has only met a few times, is it necessary to create friction with a powerful organization like the Discipline Inspection Department...... Obviously, it's not worth it, Zheng Li is seriously considering whether to back down.

He glanced at Wu Sanjun, who was still eating chicken and watching the play on the side, and the other party shrugged helplessly, it seemed that he had no choice...... Even if you are not afraid of mad dogs, normal people will not be okay to provoke them, it's not cost-effective.

Suddenly, a text message appeared on the contact form, it was a special letter with red letters.

"Senior Zheng Li, the ability you've been looking for has appeared."

Well, hell, there's really no need to hesitate.

"Smack, smack."

The index finger of his right hand tapped the tabletop, attracting the attention of the two colleagues, and rarely, Zheng Li did not have a trace of a smile.

"Rabbit, I'm sure."
