Book 2: Opening Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Demon Colonists' Association
After resting for two days, Luo Xia, whose legs were still a little vain, was not ready to go down with salted fish. His curiosity and thirst for power made him decide to register with the Demon Breeder Association first, and by the way, see if there was anything he could pull and use to increase his strength.
In fact, if it weren't for the existence of the Soul Suppression Monument, a steady stream of energy was drawn from the first dimension of space to help him recover, and with such a large consumption of essence blood, it would be impossible to recover roughly within two days.
Unlike what he imagined, the Demon Breeders Association was not a powerful civil organization.
Any power that exceeds the limit is in the service of power, and the Demon Breeder is naturally no exception. Official, powerful chambers of commerce, and top local powers, as well as academies, are the forces behind the Demon Slayer Guild.
The purpose of its existence is the product of mutual compromise and rule-setting between the major forces, in order to manage and co-opt the demon colonists, not simply to serve a certain person or a certain force. In fact, like the warrior union in some novels, and then the president has the final say, this kind of thing is not able to think about it. If you are really so cowhide, go and build another country, even if he really doesn't want to be the emperor, can the latecomers of the generations still be just as thin and cowhideous?
To get back to the point, since the Demon Slayer Association is supported by the major forces, it naturally has a regional, political, and commercial nature. For example, the demon breeders in southern Xinjiang are all under the supervision of the Governor's Office, and they have an antagonistic relationship with the demon breeder associations or organizations in the surrounding small countries. At the same time, the chamber of commerce behind it will also manage the business model of the association office to a considerable extent, establish a platform, and earn profits while benefiting each other.
With Luo Xia's identity, even the son of the deceased military lieutenant on the surface can easily get registered and become a registered demon colonist in the Southern Xinjiang camp.
But it's useless, the wizards who come here are at least elite-level, belonging to the substructure of the entire system, and even the shopping mall in the center of the association can't be discounted. It's not as easy to use as his young knight status, and this can actually get a 9% discount on places run by various official forces, which is simply an unexpected joy.
If he had money.
Luo Xia has always felt that he is very rich, so he has never known what it means to be diligent and thrifty. Every time I received a salary, it was moonlight, no, daylight to be exact, and then I searched the days under the excess. When you really can't stand it, you can only delay the development of the house world and make a few gold coins for yourself.
He didn't even dare to make this kind of gold coin recently, because the gold coins made in the house world were too exquisite and too pure (who would use pure gold as a gold coin?). Like the fake one, it has aroused the exploration and curiosity of others several times. Although he pretended to be stupid and fooled in the end, this kind of thing is still risky.
Gold coins are actually special alloys made by alchemy, even if Luo Xia can correct the appearance, but in order to have a few more gold coins per month, it is simply lacking in the heart to study the manufacturing process and formula of this thing.
All in all, Luo Xia has no money.
So when he heard the mall receptionist talk about the doorway of the blood race, he felt the pain of the choppers.
The primary blood type corresponds to the essence blood extracted from elite creatures, or the essence blood of more diluted creatures or organ parts containing special powers.
The power of the bloodline, for ordinary demon breeders, is not only the evolution of the body, but also the supporting evolution of martial arts and talents. An ordinary bloodline demon cultivator will be physically strengthened at the beginning, and then in the process of becoming stronger, he will take a completely different path because of the preference of talent, as well as the cultivation of martial arts and perception.
Some people believe in miracles because they worship power, and the subsequent blood race is naturally biased towards strength. Even with talent, which direction will go.
Some people appreciate the scorching and destructive power of fire, and follow the will of fire, and eventually awaken the fire talent.
With the continuous strengthening of strength, the strong who continue to climb will perceive the forces of nature, rules, etc., and comprehend the power systems of different factions, which requires enough vision and courage to plan their own evolutionary path.
Therefore, the initial choice of blood type is not just about just getting something and pressing it.
""Introduction to Blood Selection and Formula", "The Role and Importance of Hemolytic Agents", "Common Case Analysis Collection of Talent Awakening 1"..."Luo Xia looked at the instruction manuals suspiciously, and fell into deep self-doubt.
Is this a different world where great power is attributed to one's own body, rather than a three-year simulation of the five-year college entrance examination?
If you want to cultivate, why is it so difficult? Forcing me, a scumbag, to become a top student, is so happy?
What is especially unfriendly is that these books cost money, are not cheap, and are even expensive for ordinary people.
There are many kinds of black technology in this world, including phonographs and image trackers, and printing is completely fine. The problem is that the status of ordinary people is too small, and there is no such thing as people's livelihood at all. In addition, the higher the power system goes, the more exclusive and inherited it is, and the media: knowledge, which determines all this, naturally forms a blockade or monopoly.
In this world, or in any world, high-end knowledge is the most expensive thing.
Luo Xia was in the Seventh Academy before, and accidentally befriended Jiaojiao, a lifeless Lori, and was secretly taken care of, so he didn't feel the pressure in this regard.
But at this moment, he finally felt how strong the barriers of class were in the era of power. Just the knowledge of the Demon Breeder, but it is a high fee?
Is this thing missing?
There is no shortage of demonic breeders, as long as they are not lacking in hearts, they will acquire this kind of knowledge, but the Breeders Association still charges a high fee. The reason is simply to prevent the flow of these, and even higher levels of knowledge to the civilian population. It's more of an attitude, not really about making that money.
It's as if magic stones don't seem to be rare, but ordinary people can't buy them in southern Xinjiang. Only by joining a certain faction can it be possible to obtain magic stones, even if it is an academy.
Luo Xia naturally didn't have to spend this kind of unjust money, he could find Jiaojiao to solve it. But after thinking about it, he seemed to inadvertently owe a lot to this strange girl, so blindly taking advantage of others was a little unbearable with Luo Xia's increasingly developed face.
In the end, he took out a gold nugget from his pocket and handed it to the salesman: "999 pure gold, the weight is equivalent to 5 gold coins, and a copy of "Blood Selection and Recipe Instructions". ”
The salesman was a very polite young man, he looked at Luo Xia with strange eyes, and said suspiciously: "High-purity gold is the first product in the alchemy workshop, and there are very few things in circulation... Well, at least it's worth 5 gold. ”
This is the reason why Luo Xia doesn't want to use the gold coins of the house world casually, even if it is pinched into gold bars, people will look at you with suspicion. He smiled at the salesman with a wicked smile, and casually flickered as he took the beautifully packaged book: "Actually, I picked it up, maybe some alchemist accidentally dropped it." ”
Sure enough, the salesman shook his head with envy, as if lamenting the injustice of fate, and then he still looked at Luo Xia with strange eyes, and stopped talking.
Now it was Luo Xia's turn to be puzzled: "Do you have something?" ”
The salesman wanted to laugh a little, and whispered to him very reservedly: "Actually, if you want to read these books, just read them here." I mean, these introductory books, read here, are free. Well, this is the association's benefit for newcomers. ”
Later, he added: "However, once the transaction is completed, the return of goods is prohibited." Unless there is a problem with the quality of the goods themselves. It's the rule. ”
Luo Xia felt that he was petrifying, and then he was angry: "Since it's the welfare of the newcomer, why don't you remind me!" ”
The salesman was very energetic, and replied without any mind: "Sir, I am just a salesperson, and it is my kindness and not obligation to remind you, and I can't guarantee that you are not buying it for collection." Or, you don't lack money at all, and if I remind you rashly, you may be blamed, bala bala bala..."
Nima, worthy of being a salesperson in the association, this eloquence is absolutely professional, he said a lot in one breath, and he is very polite and courteous!
This guy is also very good at saying that Luo Xia almost thought that he had become a white-eyed wolf with a wolf's heart and lungs, and he couldn't accuse the other party of having a bad service attitude.
This is a talent.
