Chapter 21: Slums
The hall was quiet, except for Ruxue sitting alone behind the bar, holding a glass of crimson wine in her hand. I don't know what I'm thinking.
"Are you awake?"
looked at Li Yangdao with some surprise.
Li Yang nodded: "Why are you alone, and the others?"
Ruxue said lightly: "After they recovered from their injuries, they all went on their own missions, leaving me behind and waiting for you to come back."
"Wait for me to come back?" Li Yang was puzzled.
Ruxue continued: "Now that the human city-state is becoming more and more unstable, there are spirit beasts outside, and there are war spirit masters inside to do evil, so everyone will have more tasks, and I am waiting for you to come back to carry out the mission."
"I see, what is the mission, and how long will it take?"
"Early tomorrow morning, this mission is far away, and I will send you the information later."
Li Yang said yes and returned to his room.
Li Yang didn't notice that Ruxue's eyes were not so cold when she looked at him, and she talked a lot.
After returning to the room, Li Yang went to bed and sat cross-legged, feeling the condition of his body.
"Huh? Spirit Realm Rank 7?"
I found that my strength had actually increased by two levels.
"Don't be surprised, actual combat is the best way to improve your strength, and only by constantly feeling the pressure will your strength grow faster."
Tang Tangtian didn't know when he had already drilled out of Li Yang's body, and Pu flew beside Li Yang with his little wings.
Li Yang angrily poked Tang Tangtian with his finger: "You don't make a sound every time you fight, and as soon as you fight, you come out with hindsight, I really don't know what I took you to do in my last life."
For Liyang's questioning, Tang Tangtian didn't care at all.
"I'm very useful, but you don't need it now, and I'll tell you when you need it later."
Liyang "......"
Ignoring the sugar candy, Li Yang began to meditate and cultivate seriously. In his heart, he silently recited the mantra of the giant spirit spirit secret and the macro spirit body......
Since he got this giant spirit magic trick, Hong Liyang hasn't studied it properly, and he doesn't know what it does.
Stop practicing and open your eyes.
"Sugar Candy, what's the use of this giant spirit magic trick?"
Tangtang Tian shook his little head and said slowly: "The so-called Giant Spirit Divine Technique, it is naturally the powerful spiritual method of the Giant Spirit God Clan...... The Giant Spirit God Clan is a powerful race bred by the essence of heaven and earth, although there are not many of them, but each of them is a powerful person who can do everything from heaven to earth......"
Li Yang slapped the shaking sugar candy on the bed.
"Getting to the point."
"Ouch, what are you doing?"
With a flap of his wings, he flew up from the bed and continued: "To put it bluntly, the effect of the Giant Spirit Divine Technique is to be big and hard."
"Big and hard?"
Li Yang wondered in his heart, what kind of ghost trick is this, why is it a little inappropriate for children.
Tang Tangtian continued: "The so-called big is that the Djinn Divine Technique can make your body bigger, but it's not just as simple as getting bigger, when you use the Djinn Divine Technique to get bigger, your physical strength will also increase in a short time, and hard, that is, the strength of your body will become stronger."
"I see, you just said no."
Sugar Candy snorted coldly, burrowed into her body and disappeared.
Li Yang pouted: "Little thing, the temper is quite big."
After listening to Tang Tangtian's explanation, Li Yang also had a little eyebrows, and began to try to cultivate the first layer of the Giant Spirit Divine Technique, the Macro Spirit Body......
It wasn't until the evening that Li Yang slowly woke up from his cultivation.
After stretching his body, Li Yang walked to the window, and the setting sun in the distance reflected the whole sky in a warm orange red, which was very pleasant.
Suddenly, Li Yang's eyes turned downward, and he saw a girl who was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Liyang's room is on the edge of the villa against the wall, so you can see the courtyard on the first floor of the villa next door at a glance.
At this time, in the courtyard on the first floor next door, there was a girl sitting on a swing with a book in her hand. The swing was slowly rippling, and the girl was reading the contents of the book intently.
"Shangguan half-dream?"
The girl sitting in the sunset reading a book was Shangguan Banmeng.
Suddenly, Shangguan Banmeng also had a strange feeling in his heart, and looked up at the window next to the second floor of the villa next door.
I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't find anything.
He shook his head self-deprecatingly, and muttered, "He, maybe he forgot about me a long time ago."
Although more than half a month has passed, Li Yang's figure still appears in Shangguan Banmeng's mind from time to time. Maybe it's the reason why he experienced a life and death crisis with Li Yang, or maybe it's the reason why he gave Li Yang the first time.
But she knew she might never see him again.
During this time, Shangguan Banmeng has not gone out, and he has been fully at home to experience the true phoenix inheritance he has obtained.
Close the book in your hand and squint at the sunset in the distance.
"It's so beautiful, let's go there tomorrow and take a look, I don't know how they've been doing lately."
It turned out that just now, at the moment when Shangguan Banmeng raised his head, Li Yang hurriedly dodged.
Li Yang didn't know how to face Nangong Banmeng, he didn't expect that he would meet her here, calculating the time, Nangong Banmeng's marriage contract should only be half a month. Li Yang planned to wait for the end of the mission here to go home and discuss with his uncle Cao Ren to see if he could secretly help Nangong Banmeng.
"Knock knock."
"Liyang, are you there?"
There was a knock on the door, and there was a cold sound like snow outside.
"Ah, I'm here."
Quickly opened the door, like snow like a cold lotus in the snow, standing slim at the door.
Compared with Nangong Banmeng's playful and cute, approachable and different, such as snow gives people the feeling that it has always been a feeling of frost and no one is close.
"This is the exoskeleton armor that has been reconfigured for everyone, and this is yours."
After speaking, he took out a small black square and handed it to Li Yang, who took it and said thank you.
"By the way, Masamori asked me to remind you that your mission was not completed last time, so let you and I go after completing this mission."
Li Yang nodded: "Well, I know."
"By the way, do you have dinner at night?"
"Huh? Oh, eat, eat. ”
"Come downstairs in a moment."
In fact, since the appearance of the War Spirit Master, people have gradually found that the stronger the War Spirit Master, the less the need for food supplements, but it has not yet reached the point where it is completely unnecessary.
However, they still need a level like Liyang.
After Ruxue went downstairs, Li Yang heard the sound of ping-pong in the kitchen, and thought that maybe Ruxue was cooking.
Sitting in the room, I picked up my mobile phone to check the mission information that Ruxue had already sent.
This mission was an exploratory mission, and it was located in Jiangxin District, which was more than 500 kilometers away from Ji'an.
Recently, in Jiangxin District, there have been city defense troops who have disappeared there one after another, and several waves of personnel sent have disappeared, which is very strange, so the above has arranged this task to travel at night.
After reading the information, Li Yang was greatly surprised, because Jiangxin District is a slum area.
"Slums?"
Li Yang grew up in Tianhai Province since he was a child, his father is a city defense army, and his mother also has a job, although it is not as rich and expensive as the Cao family today, but his life is guaranteed and stable.
Moreover, Li Yang has never seen any news about the slum in any news or reports.
At this moment, Li Yang found that he didn't seem to understand the world.
In fact, this is not to blame Liyang, since the reconstruction of the city-states by human society, almost every city-state has its own affairs, and there are few exchanges between them.
But even in Tianhai Province, there are also slums, with the rapid development of science and technology, many places that used to use manual labor have been replaced by robots, and those ordinary people have no jobs, no income, can only be reduced to poverty, because they are no longer needed.
Although the amount of food needed by the War Spirit Master is not much, after all, the War Spirit Master only accounts for a small part of the human society, and most of them are still ordinary people, or those who are awake but do not have much cultivation talent themselves.
In addition, the path of cultivation is already difficult, and many people, even if they have some talent, will not choose to focus on cultivation.
Although technology is constantly evolving, food still needs to be grown from the land, and although humans have maximized the use of space, it is never enough to divide it equally among everyone.
In the beginning, the paupers would riot, protest, and clamo for human rights.
But under the strong deterrence of the War Spirit Division, they also gave up resistance.
Over the years, everyone seems to have become accustomed to it, and those who do not work hard and struggle can only be reduced to poverty, without food and clothing, and even more pitiful are those babies born in the slums, who know nothing, but have basically decided a cruel life.
The Federal Parliament also avoided talking about it, because there was no way, and although food was regularly put into the slums, it was only a drop in the bucket.
The default meaning of the Human Alliance Council is that life and death are all up to the will of heaven.
Li Yang heard his father tell his story, Li Zhengtian counterattacked from the civilian area, but the people in the civilian area at least have jobs and can support themselves, but the people in this slum really have to do their best just to live.
Jiangxin District is also the closest area to the border of the city defense, because many people are hungry and can't stand it and will go out of the city to eat grass and tree bark...... Because they stayed in the city, they didn't even have to eat these things.
There are also a few small gates left under the city walls for the people of the slums, and the city guards will not stop them......
After reading the information, Li Yang picked up the small black square and slowly injected spiritual power.
Just like last time, the exoskeleton armor quickly covered Li Yang's entire body.
"The identity has been confirmed, I'm your smart assistant Xiaoye, call me at any time if you have any questions!"
It's still the familiar electronic sound.
Putting the exoskeleton armor into the space ring, Li Yang thought that Ruxue's cooking was almost done, and he got up and went downstairs.
