Chapter 8 Laboratory
In order to buy a house, the brothers, accompanied by Uncle Zhang, traveled to almost every corner of Black Rock City, and finally took a fancy to two sets of agreeable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
One is a courtyard house, not far from Aunt Zhang's house, the owner is a foreign businessman, died of illness not long ago, his family wants to sell the house and move back to their hometown, so the price of the house is not high, almost 90,000 gold coins are enough.
The other is a remote farmhouse yard in the south of the city, which has not been inhabited for more than a year, but it is very quiet, and there are almost no people nearby. The house is located in the middle of nowhere, and it has been in disrepair for many years, so the price is very low, and it can be bought for less than 20,000 gold coins.
Buying this house, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang were a little puzzled, but Shi and Ah Jian both insisted that it was convenient for cultivation in this way, and they could also grow some medicinal herbs, so it was up to them, and it was not expensive anyway.
After a few days, Uncle Zhang found several pharmacies and some elixir masters, and successfully sold half of the soul grass, and the remaining half was ready to be auctioned, and he had already signed a contract with the auction house.
The first batch of soul grass was sold for 150,000 gold coins, and Uncle Zhang asked Shi and Ah Jian to use it to buy a house and subsidize the family first, and then settle it after the auction, but the brothers only took 120,000.
After buying the house, the two registered their siblings' household registration in the house not far from Aunt Zhang's house, while they themselves registered in the courtyard of a farmhouse in the south of the city. The pyramid that the old yin god wanted to build, they were going to build it in the farmhouse, so that even if it was discovered by the temple, it would not involve the younger siblings.
After naturalization, it's time to go to school.
The brothers did not expect that the temple would place such an emphasis on children's education, and that the city-states of the two river basins would be similar, and that all children between the ages of 6 and 15 would have to attend primary and intermediate schools, and violators would be fined at least fines and deprived of their household registration and expelled from the city.
Of the six children, only Xiaolan is not yet 6 years old and will not be able to go to school next year, and the others will have to enroll in school in the near future.
In the city-states, the courses offered by the junior schools generally include the "Rituals", "Holy Texts", "General History", "Elementary Meditation" and "Elementary Fighting Techniques". In addition, each city-state also had its own vocational courses, for example, Black Rock City added three courses: "Cargo Farming", "Agronomy" and "Elixir", and Sun City across the river added two courses, "Cargo Cultivation" and "Metallurgy".
Among them, the first three courses are enlightenment courses, mainly literacy, familiarity with history and geography, and the establishment of belief in the gods, the "Rituals" record the rituals and prayers of the gods, the "Holy Codex" records the quotations of the gods, and the "General History" records the geography and history of the continent of divine enlightenment. Of course, the gods of the two alliances are different, the gods of the Snake Alliance refer to the snake god Nuwa, and the gods of the Eagle Alliance refer to the eagle god Zeus.
After passing these three initiation courses, they are allowed to study the other courses. Children with cultivation talent can learn two training courses, "Elementary Meditation" and "Elementary Fighting Techniques", and become fighters and mages in the future. Children who do not have the talent for cultivation can only study vocational courses and other things in order to master a skill for survival. However, there are also those who study both cultivation courses and vocational courses, such as the elixir master who learns both "Meditation" and "Elixir", and the magic pattern master is similar, and has to learn "Meditation", "Fighting Technique" and "Metallurgy" at the same time.
Blackstone requires children to enroll in school within one month of naturalization or face punishment. Therefore, Ah Jian and Shi discussed that they would let their younger siblings go to school first, and the two of them would go to school next month, during which time they would first build the pyramid that the old monster said.
Let's say that the old yin god has really changed his attitude since the last heart-to-heart exchange, not only often giving advice to Ah Jian and them, and when he is in good spirits, he will even tell them some things in his memory. For example, what places of interest and anecdotes were in the world before it, what achievements were made, and so on.
What it likes to talk about most is scientific and technological achievements, such as when it built an iron box that can fly and run, when it connected thunder and lightning to ordinary people's homes, and when it can talk to its girlfriend from thousands of miles away, etc. But every time it talked, it would get excited, cry and laugh, and sing inexplicable songs such as "Rolling the Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes", which made Ah Jian at a loss.
Actually, Ah Jian really didn't think much of what it was talking about about high-tech or the like, and he really didn't understand why the old monster was so attached to those things, isn't the magic in this world much more powerful than these things?
What's the use of a flying and running iron box? A slightly more powerful monster only needs a small amount of fire or ice magic to melt them into scrap metal and freeze them into ice slag in minutes.
It's a bit magical to connect thunder and lightning to ordinary people's homes, but how dangerous is that? Ordinary people don't understand lightning magic, and if they are not careful, they will be burned into charcoal by lightning, is this really good?
What else is there to talk about love with his girlfriend for thousands of miles, Ah Jian doesn't understand how important this love talk is, and he has to say it thousands of miles away.
In his opinion, these were all useless tricks, far less real than mastering magic. Thinking about it, it is said that high-level magicians can fly in the air, so what kind of iron box do you want? Ordinary people have their own way of living, so why do you have to follow his example? If you like to talk to your girlfriend, then you can be together all day! How can you be separated for a thousand miles first, and then rush to talk to her all day long? Isn't this just deliberately sensational?
However, having said that, Ah Jian still admires the old monster's profound knowledge. The bizarre theories it put forward are not unreasonable if you think about it carefully, as long as the conditions allow, Ah Jian does not refuse to give it a try.
For example, the theory of experimental exploration put forward by the old monster is very reasonable! Things in this world are afraid to ponder, and it is said that the gods of the past pondered the reason for the supernatural abilities of demonic beasts, and only later did they create magic and fighting spirit. But it's not enough to have an idea, because it can be right or wrong, and you don't know until you try it.
It's just that the old monster said that he was going to build a laboratory, and he stumped Ah Jian, what the hell is this laboratory? I heard that some monsters are going to be caught for experiments, this is simply appalling, how dangerous is this monster? However, the low-level wind rabbit is fine, it's just a little faster, and it doesn't have any attack power, so get one and lock it in the house and let the old demon toss it in the future.
Well, the most important thing at the moment is to build a pyramid for the old demon, and think about other things later!
After sending their siblings to school, Shi and Ah Jian stayed in the farmhouse in the south of the city. Uncle Zhang found some workers for them, and the brothers planned to ask the workers to simply repair the old house, and remove the partition of the middle house and replace it with a six-meter-high auditorium.
The auditorium is very common in the family ancestral hall, used as a special place to worship the ancestral gods, perhaps the little master wants to change this courtyard into an ancestral hall, the worker thought so, and it is not surprising.
Half a month later, the renovation of the house was basically completed, and they asked people to bring a lot of black stones, saying that they wanted to build another cultivation room.
Blackstone City is rich in blackstone, and people have found it to be good for both health and cultivation, and most of the houses in Blackstone City are also made of blackstone.
Therefore, it is normal for the master to transport black stones to build a cultivation room. It's just that I don't know what the two children think, but after the black stone was shipped, it was not made. It doesn't matter, anyway, after his work is done, just get the gold coins, no matter what he thinks!
Stone and Ah Jian brought the black stone to build the pyramid, but this matter could not be handed over to the workers to do, otherwise as soon as they reported it, the two of them would be miserable.
With half a month to go, the brothers decided to take matters into their own hands and build a pyramid out of black stone in this large auditorium. Of course, this pyramid will also be the cultivation room of the two brothers, and it will also be the laboratory of the old monsters.
