Chapter 9: Tragedy!
The rainy streets are overflowing with dampness and cold, and the music is passing through the silent streets.
Although there is no one on the street, the dim street lamps illuminate every corner, and the ubiquitous light makes Le Yu have the illusion that he is not going home, but driving back to the palace.
Although Huiyao's technology system is quite close to the previous life, with ever-bright lights and four-wheel drive vehicles, limited by production technology, there are still not many entertainment facilities at night, and the vast majority of people stay at home quietly at night, and the rich may go to dance in the dance hall or engage in pornography; And ordinary people basically don't have the money to listen to the radio, so they can only engage in pornography.
There are few street lights on the street, but at least they can illuminate the main road area. There are also energy lamps in this world, even a long time ago - solar lamps that use Yaoshi as an energy source.
The development of science and technology is quite strange, because of the highly sensitive characteristics of light energy, so the ancient people used Yaoshi to make various solar devices very early, such as Yaoshi lighters, Yaoshi lamps, Yaoshi warm babies, etc., the principle is to store solar energy and then release.
Compared to the earth, the Huiyao people lived the life of a city that never sleeps thousands of years ago - the main roads of the town must be illuminated by bright stone lamps, which are bright all night, these street lamps only need to be repaired once in decades, and they do not need maintenance at all on weekdays, and when there is a sun, they will automatically absorb light energy and store it, and it will light up when it gets dark. It doesn't matter if the sun isn't violent, the stone lamp is highly sensitive to the light source, and it can store light energy in clouds and rain.
Le Yu touched the back of his neck, the 'Shining Charter' in his spine, that is, the Yaoshi. At first, he didn't understand why humans implanted the stone in his body, but after thinking about it, it was similar to implanting a vaccine - except that the earthlings implanted the vaccine to enhance the immunity to the corresponding disease, while the glowing people implanted the stone to develop new attributes.
Leaving the avenue and turning into a side street, the number of lights suddenly decreased. It's easy to tell if a place is rich or poor – the more lights you have at night, the richer you are.
In the memory of Thousand Feathers, the upper-class residential area of Xingke County is as bright as day at night, and even Leyu now as long as he stands on a high point and looks northeast, he can see the rich area and the Xingke Song and Dance Hall with warm lights flickering, as if the stars in the sky are gathered in one place.
However, the most shining thing is the Hui Bell Tower in the center of Xingke County. As the tallest building in each county, the Hui Clock Tower is not only responsible for telling the time, but also responsible for guiding any lost traveler - don't be afraid to get lost in Hui Yao County, walk towards the orange glow of the Hui Bell Tower, and you will be able to reach the safety of the central square.
Although Qian Yuliu is in an important position, he has an average background, so he naturally has no money to buy a house in a wealthy area. The small street where Leyu is now walking is the width of four people side by side, and from time to time you can hear the noisy sounds of children and smell the aroma of food and fireworks.
Le Yu couldn't help but speed up her pace, but her heart was getting more and more worried.
Finally, Leyu came to a small two-story building, next to the door hung a platinum-colored sign "Rongfang Street B 2 San", and a small wooden sign "Qianjia" hanging below.
Le Yu took a deep breath, took out the key to open the door, there are ten horizontal wooden fences inside, behind the fence is the inner door - the horizontal wooden fence is palm-wide, the owner can cross the fence with both hands to open the outer door, but it is difficult for people outside to cross the fence without the owner's consent, which can be used to prevent theft and fraud.
Le Yu pulled, but the fence was not locked, and he pulled it open with a slight pull. As was the custom of Thousand Feathers, he closed the fence when he came in, and turned his head to see a towel in the entrance.
took off her wet coat, took off her boots and put on clogs, wiped her head with a towel, and walked into the living room.
"I'm back."
He said as he looked at the girl sitting on a mahogany bench in the living room.
Leyu can't help it.
He had to come.
He was unfamiliar with life in this world, and he had no other option than to use the identity of Thousand Feathers.
Although the Awakened can drive spiritual power, and it is not impossible to use light to drive wind and rain, it is impossible to swallow the wind and drink the dew - unless the humans in this world mutate chloroplasts.
The girl turned her head sideways, her dark brown pupils staring at Leyu. She wears a purple, blue and white school uniform, which is the uniform of Xingke National High School.
Naturally, Huiyao has schools, and even compulsory education - Huiyao lectures. The central area of all cities must be the lecture square, anyone can go to the square to listen to the teacher's lectures, the teacher talks the same thing every year, all are basic arithmetic, practical writing, practical life skills, medical knowledge, the teacher is hired by the imperial court, the listener does not need any expenditure except time and diligence.
This compulsory education was established at the beginning of the founding of the country and continues to this day, and is known as the 'Mongolian school system'. In addition, there is also the system of national studies: each administrative region has a national school, which specializes in teaching the ability to govern the imperial light, and only national students are eligible to participate in the imperial imperial examination and govern and hold power.
The Xingke Military Academy from which Qian Yuliu graduated is the Chinese Studies, and only the Chinese Studies will teach the tactics of war, but the ancient and modern names are easier, and the Chinese Studies have also evolved into cultural colleges and military academies.
As for the middle school, it was born in the past 100 years, because of the outbreak of various new technologies in the Huiyao Dynasty, the imperial court found that there was a need for more knowledge workers and more students, so it established middle schools in various places. In the past, only a very small number of people could study Chinese culture, and ordinary people could never pass the entrance examination of Chinese culture even if they completed their Mongolian education, but now the emergence of middle schools has given ordinary people a promotion path of Mongolian learning-middle school-Chinese culture.
Qianjia is not a rich and noble family, and Qianyuliu can take on important positions at a young age, not only because he is indeed talented, but more importantly, because he has eaten the dividends of the times and caters to the process of history.
Since Thousand Feathers has succeeded through this path, he will naturally let his family replicate his success.
The girl in front of her is Qian Yuliu's sister, Qian Yuya.
Qian Yuya is 16 years old and is preparing for the entrance exam for the Star Carving Cultural Academy. Naturally, there is no unified examination such as the college entrance examination in this world, and all Chinese studies in various places are recruited independently.
In other words, my sister is a beautiful girl junior high school student...... Le Yu suddenly thought of some anime he had watched in his previous life, and couldn't help but smile.
Qian Yuya raised her head and blinked, looking at Le Yu suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Why did he suddenly lose focus in his eyes and smirk? Crashed your brain when you went on a mission?
"It's fine." Leyu sat on a wicker chair, poured herself a cup of hot water, and drank it slowly.
Qian Yuya glanced at him and continued to lower her head to read. Le Yu peeked at it, and the content seemed to be clinical pathology, and there were even illustrations.
Qian Yuya's goal is to study at the Faculty of Medicine at the Faculty of Culture and become a medical officer after graduation. Hui Yao has a special official position for doctors, and the medical court in each city is the largest official hospital.
Female medical officers are also common, because of the influence of Yaoshi, the women of this world are not inferior to men in terms of combat power, so there is no restriction on women's employment, there are female cadres in the Statistics Department, and there are female consuls in the imperial court.
After drinking a glass of water, Qian Yuya didn't speak, and Le Yu could only find words without words: "Have you eaten?" ”
Qian Yuya glanced at him: "I put your food in your room." ”
Le Yu blinked, he recalled, and found that Qian Yuliu did have the habit of eating alone, and after he went home at night, he went directly back to his room to eat and exercise, and rarely communicated with his sister.
That's fine, Le Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, he actually didn't dare to have too much contact with Qian Yuya. is not only afraid that his identity will be suspected by Qian Yuya, but more importantly, he is afraid of Qian Yuya.
Although Le Yu didn't take care of it, after all, it was he who killed Thousand Plumes and replaced Thousand Plumes. For him, Qian Yuya is equivalent to 'the victim's family', and when Leyu faces her, he always has some inexplicable emptiness in his heart.
Maybe it's just a meaningless moral fetish, but Leyu really hopes that he doesn't have too much to do with Qianyuya. This kind of voluntary abandonment of the use of identity resources may only make the next survival challenges more difficult, but Leyu would rather increase the difficulty than break this moral shackle.
For Leyu, this moral law from his past life may be the only symbol that he can confirm his own existence at present. It is precisely because of this naïve conscience that he is a happy whisper, not a thousand plumes, or something else.
Le Yu stood up and prepared to go up to the room on the second floor, and at this time, a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind: every five days, Qian Yuliu would have dinner with his sister.
At the same time, there is also a piece of information:
"So far, there is no unified, systematic, and effective cultivation method for spiritual power, and there is no way to strengthen spiritual power that everyone can use. But mental power is not impossible to increase, and the following four ways can enhance mental power—"
"(1) Growth, people's mental strength will gradually grow, generally to the age of 40 to the peak of growth, to maintain until the age of 65 and begin to decline."
"(2) Career, when people take on more responsibilities and have more power, their mental strength will also be significantly enhanced. However, once a person loses his responsibility and power, his enhanced mental strength will also decline. If you are forced to resign, your mental strength will even decline morbidly."
"(3) Ideals: When a person has an ideal that he or she has fought for all his life, according to the degree of effort and sacrifice, the person's spiritual strength will also be enhanced to a certain extent."
"(4) Tribulation, tribulation is something that people want to do but dare not do, and every time a person carries out a tribulation, his mental power will increase slightly."
"Of the four methods, the first three require a long period of perseverance, but the fourth can be done simply and neatly. In order to discover more talents, in order to allow the people to take the initiative to improve their spiritual power, the Hui Yao Imperial Court has been updating the charter in successive dynasties, and finally expanded a new function of the charter: calamity."
"The existence of the calamity will take the initiative to make the awakened person realize that what challenge they do can improve their mental power, so as to assist the awakened person to improve their mental power more easily. However, the Hui Yao Imperial Court found that many people were reluctant to do it even if they knew the content of the challenge because of fear and disgust, so there was also a side effect of the calamity: when people knew the content of the calamity and did not do it, their mental power would gradually decline, and in the end, they might even lose their mental power completely."
"The content of the eons is based on the consciousness of the awakened person, and it is definitely something that the awakened person can do. There is usually a time limit, and when the time limit is not completed and the time limit is exceeded, there will be side effects."
Disaster......
Le Yu was stunned, opened the virtual panel again, and found the line of robbery from the panel:
"The Tribulation of a Thousand Feathers: Dinner with a Thousand Rains, with a maximum interval of 120 hours. (29 hours remaining)"
Leyu sat back and poured herself a glass of water, clearing her thoughts while drinking water.
He never expected that the enhancement method of spiritual power would be so strange, he had thought that there would be some exercises such as alchemy and meditation, but he didn't expect the enhancement method to be so down-to-earth.
'Growth' is understandable, and the more brains people have, the better.
'Promotion and wealth' can also be understood, as the saying goes, the butt determines the head, and there is an ancient saying that when people control more resources, the spirit and spirit will naturally go to the next level. But there is also a saying that the phoenix is not as good as a chicken, this kind of spiritual strengthening is bound to resources, and when resources are lost, the spirit and spirit will naturally decline.
'Ideal' is better understood, only people with strong will can strive for ideals, and such an idealistic attribute of will will naturally affect mental power.
'Crossing the Tribulation' is also normal, just like Leyu to play some hardcore games, and after clearing the level, you will feel drenched and spiritually sublimated, as if you can hear your own voice of 'ACT game technology upgrade'.
But the Huiyao Imperial Court actually invented the corresponding function according to the setting of 'Crossing the Tribulation', which is really sassy, and it is simply adding a task system to the real world - and it is also a private customized version.
Maybe in a few decades, the Huiyao Imperial Court will be able to unify everyone's calamity is 'learning', if you don't study, you will lose your spiritual power, and the more you learn, the more spiritual power you will have, and the whole society will run into the sea of stars.
It's just that the setting of robbery is also useful for Leyu, an alien traverser?
Le Yu is a little uncertain, he has a spiritual power attribute, but is this attribute inherited by him from a thousand plumes, or is it produced after his soul is transferred to this body? Or is it a two-in-one?
However, now the attribute panel tells Leyu that you also have a calamity, and if you don't follow the calamity, your mental power will be reduced, and on the contrary, your mental power will be strengthened.
Let's rob it, but the content of this robbery has nothing to do with Leyu, it's definitely a relic of a thousand plumes - God knows why he made 'finishing dinner with his sister' a challenge.
However, this calamity is naturally of great benefit to Leyu, as long as you eat, you can improve your mental power, where can you find such a good thing?
"Yuya, I'll have dinner with you today!" Le Yu drank the water and said seriously.
Although I don't want to have anything to do with the sister of the thousand plumes, the spiritual power is really too fragrant.
I'm going to eat 10 meals!
Qian Yuya shook her head: "Don't." ”
"Why?" Le Yu was stunned.
Why was it rejected? Did she find something? Is it that I didn't say the mantra of a thousand plumes? Is it that a thousand plumes don't drink two glasses of water in a row? Or did the thousand plumes take a bath first after returning home......?
Qian Yuya glanced at him.
There was a point of incomprehension, three points of sigh, and six points of disgust in that look.
"Because I've eaten it."
'I'm sorry, Thousand Feathers, but your image of wisdom and martial arts is probably gone in your sister's heart. Le Yu thought to herself.
