Chapter 29: The Favored Boy
In the night sky, a carp-shaped airship flies slowly as an advertising booth and a festive atmosphere.
At this moment, a triangular hovercraft roared past the airship, the propeller on the side of the airship whirred and turned, and in the strong wind, the man sitting on the hovercraft pressed the button on the side of the helmet to connect the communication.
"We have arrived at the designated place according to the satellite positioning and started to search for the target."
"Roger, I'm starting to connect you to the local surveillance system." A young female voice came from the headphones, and then the part of the man's helmet and goggles began to display various tracking data, constantly checking the pedestrians on the street.
On the ground floor, a bar in the commercial plaza.
In the dim light, smoke fills the air, colored lights swirl, and some young men and women are jumping on the dance floor, while in the dark corner, several people are beating people lying on the ground.
"It's okay, don't bother."
"Idiot!"
They laughed at the boy on the ground, who was not good-looking, and the leader of them was holding a young girl, who should know the boy on the ground because she wanted to persuade but was afraid of offending the man next to her.
"Alright, get out, don't let me see you again."
After kicking, the man who was in a good mood kicked again, and then asked people to drag the boy out.
Soon, the boy who was dragged to the staircase of the side door of the bar rolled and slid down the stairs, hit his head on the railing, inhaled in pain, and then came to his senses.
He touched the wound and the things on his body, and his mood was very uncomfortable and low.
Originally, everything was fine after entering the university, and he also fell in love with a famous girl, and it happened that the girl was still from the same star field as him, so the two had a lot of topics, and the relationship gradually became acquainted.
It's a pity that the other party has suddenly become cold recently, and he can't figure it out, so this time the Autumn Moon Lantern Festival secretly followed behind the girl, wondering what was going on, so he followed into this bar.
And then the thing is very ordinary, probably the girl fell in love with the rich and chic bar regular, and then he wanted to go up and ask for an understanding, and told the girl in person halfway that this kind of man is not a good person or something.
In this way, he naturally offended the other party, and was beaten by an acquaintance invited by the other party.
"In the future, I must make a lot of money and humiliate them." The boy said angrily.
After that, he staggered to his feet, ready to find a small medical room for simple treatment, but before he could take a few steps, an abrupt hand slapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey, little brother, have you encountered any grievances?" The sound startled the boy and almost jumped off the outdoor staircase.
He turned around slowly and nervously, and when he saw the face with the clown mask behind him, he chuckled in his heart and took a few steps back.
"Don't be so scared, little brother, I'm a good person."
The clown on the opposite side wears a dark purple jumpsuit, which is a performance art in modern times, after all, there is no circus anymore.
"Who are you?" A strong sense of vigilance rose in his heart.
"Didn't I say it just now, I'm a good person, and I looked very aggrieved just now, so I asked when I passed by." He justified his origins.
"Passing by?"
The boy looked at the only side door to the bar at the end of the stairs, and the alleyway down the stairs, surrounded by all kinds of other high-rise buildings.
"Don't believe it, I'm really passing by."
As he spoke, the clown had moved to the boy's side, leaning against the guardrail like him, almost in the blink of an eye.
With this kind of ability, you can indeed pass by casually.
However, this kind of person finds himself, which is not necessarily a good thing, although the boy is a little stupid in love, but being admitted to college also shows that he is not stupid, and he realizes that the other party's purpose is likely to be impure.
"I feel like I have to do my own thing, and I don't have to bother others." He slowly moved upwards, trying to get back into the noisy bar.
"Alas, are you so afraid of other people's help, if you go in now, you will see the two of them leaning together, kissing me and mine, this feeling is too uncomfortable." The clown cranked his fingers and continued.
"I ......" he wanted to say that he didn't really care much about it, but he couldn't be happy when he thought of the girl he was excited about leaning on someone else's arms.
"I'll just say, this kind of thing, what man doesn't care, he not only robbed your woman, but also humiliated you."
"Do you think it's over when you back down, no, this kind of thing is the most gossip among girls, maybe it will spread all over the class the next day, and other girls also think you're not good enough, and don't like this kind of cowardly guy."
What he said made the boy swallow back the words that he wanted to admit defeat and didn't care.
"But I really don't have any money, and my strength is not as good as others." It's not so much the change of heart that I hate girls, it's more the anger and anger at my own incompetence.
If he has a family fortune of hundreds of millions, or is a social elite in Sequence 6, how can he be ridiculed by this kind of person, the boy secretly swore in his heart that he must improve his strength as soon as possible.
"Isn't this clear, you need help, and I happen to have the ability to help you." As he spoke, the purple-clown came to the boy's side again.
"How can you help me?" His lips were a little dry, and he looked at the other party, guessing the strength of the other party in his heart.
Sequence 6? It's still sequence 7, he only has sequence 4, and he can't see the other party's level at all, but he feels that sequence 5 shouldn't be so strong, so it must be sequence 6 up.
"Practicing advanced formulas and advancements, you are learning these every day, and you must know that it is not a moment's work, but what era is it now, and the treasures that assist in advancement are being developed layer by layer."
"Secret methods, rituals, elixirs, each faction has its own exclusive way, and I also have a bottle of quick potion here." As he spoke, a bottle containing purple liquid was carried in his hand and gently shook it in front of the boy's eyes.
The magical aura in it is slightly viscous, and when shaken, it emits a slightly drunken ripple, and just looking at it up close makes the boy feel a special temptation.
The advanced sequence, condensing the high-level transcendent core, requires a lot of preparation, the first is the storage of knowledge and the grasp of the core imprint and formula, the second is the magic of refining and condensing, and the third is the fine control and tenacious will.
The reserve of knowledge and the grasp of the use of formulas, as long as the IQ is enough, through a lot of time to study and prepare, many people can complete it, the magic of refining and condensing depends on the talent, some people with high talent can complete it quickly without much effort, and some people may not be able to gather the magic of refining and condensing for decades, and they need special elixir assistance, as for the fine control and will behind, this promotion is very complicated, and the solutions of each faction are different.
Now his knowledge reserve is roughly enough, but it will probably take another year for the magic power refining and condensation to hit Sequence 5.
Although I don't know what the specific effect of this bottle of elixir is, the magic power of refining and condensing in it is undoubtedly the best quality, and ordinary people may not be able to afford it in their lifetime.
"It's expensive." He barely looked away.
"It's expensive, but I'm a good person, so I don't need money to give it to you." The clown gently placed the bottle in the palm of the boy's hand, and the carved pattern on the bottle was so swaying.
The magic ripples from the bottle of potion in the palm of his hand made the boys who felt it up close full of struggle.
Will there be a problem with this thing, what if it is poisonous, but he is an ordinary person, as for spending so much money to poison it with such an expensive elixir.
"Really give it to me? Are there any strings attached? ”
"Additional conditions, no, I'm a good person, I just want to do something good tonight~" The clown pinched his chin lightly with one hand, and looked at the boy slightly.
"You're not as bad as you think, you can even say you're very talented, but your background and luck are poor."
"I help you, but also for myself, who doesn't want to have more powerful friends."
"For you, this is a very expensive elixir, but for me, it is not so expensive."
"Do you want to try it and impress those who look down on you?"
The clown's words made the boy slowly accept the status quo in his heart and slowly rationalize the other party's behavior.
Yes, do I still have to give up the elixir in my hand, such an expensive elixir is given up, and when I say it, I will probably be laughed at by those guys, saying that I don't have the guts.
Desperately fighting the impulse and the idea of revenge in his heart, the boy slowly twisted the cap of the bottle and sniffed the elixir in it.
The overflowing mana is dizzying, and this kind of refined mana is definitely wasted to cast spells, but if it is used to advance, it is simply worth the price.
After hesitating for a few seconds again, the boy grabbed the bottle and poured it down in one gulp, almost as soon as he drank it, he leaned back on the guardrail and began to operate the transcendent core in his body, absorbing and transforming this magic with all his might.
Soon, the transcendent core magic power in his body was filled to the extreme, and he began to leap and fission, gradually spreading out again, and advancing to a higher level.
For this process, the clown not only did not stop it, but also really carried out the isolation barrier protection on the side, and spoke from time to time, patiently guiding some details of the boy's advancement.
Half an hour later, the boy finally finished his advancement, and the transcendent core in his body was also stable in the state of Sequence 5, and the job placement template he selected was a rare level, and the complexity and difficulty were also within his tolerance, so it didn't take too long.
"Oh, it's perfect~" said the clown snapping his hands.
"What I saw, the rise of a genius, not everyone can advance to success in half an hour, and it is done at one time, there is no failure and jamming at all, you should have chosen a better core template for job placement, but it doesn't matter, in the future, you still have a chance to change your fate."
"I didn't think about it so much at the time." This time it was the boy's turn to be a little embarrassed, but he was still quite happy in his heart.
"It's okay, I'm sure you can do it, that's my professional vision." The clown puts his arm around the boy's shoulders.
"Now, we're friends." As he spoke, he held out his hand.
"Uh, that's right, friend."
Although this friend came inexplicably, the boy was still grateful, after all, he had really advanced, and there was nothing unusual at the moment.
"Alright, now, my friend, it's time for you to finish what you didn't do before, beat up and get angry, or let that woman who changed her heart know what kind of genius she missed, I'll spend it with you tonight, let's go, go and overthrow them."
I have to say that even though this clown looks a little weird, his words still make the boy's heart warm, it seems that since he was a child, he has never had such a hardcore best friend, and no one has really cared about his feelings so much, and the other party really gave him a bottle of extravagant elixir.
"Yes, it's time for them to get to know me again today." The boy took a deep breath, then clenched his fists, a faint magic enveloped him, and then his whole body became hard, as if coated with a metal shell.
The bar was still noisy, and it was only 10 p.m., far from closing time, and some customers came and went, including men and women who often mingled here, as well as students who came to experience it for the first time.
On the stage, the singer wearing smoky makeup hugged the microphone and roared affectionately, the posture and appearance were like a big rooster crowing with all his might, and the audience below also raised their hands under the influence of alcohol, forgetting the interference of the outside world, immersed in the sound vibration environment.
"If you lose, please drink~"
In the corner of the bar, several people gathered around the table, and a few dice were turned in the glass in the middle, and then stopped, showing the numbers.
"You shouldn't be able to cheat with your ability, why do you always drink with me." The man who had taken the lead before propped his head and leaned on the shoulder of the girl next to him, his mouth full of alcohol.
"How can it be big brother, I'm only in sequence 3, how can I do such precise control, and besides, don't you watch it too, I can still turn the sky upside down." The little brother on the other side smiled flatteringly.
"It's not the boss who can drink, how much you drink, you must be amazing." Under his 'kind words' round, the man slowly picked up the wine glass, first kissed the girl next to him, and then prepared to pour it.
But just as he raised the wine glass, a hand stretched out from behind his back, directly held the wine glass and poured it down, letting the wine spill on the man's face, and also flow into his neck, cool and soaked.
When this happened, the man was furious and tried to stand up, but the hand on his shoulder held him down, making him struggle to fall over from his chair and the table was overturned.
"You TM!" He got up and wanted to curse, then turned to see the familiar face.
"Hey, you dare to run back." Originally, he thought it was a master who couldn't be provoked, but it turned out to be this stupid boy who had just been beaten.
It's a shame to be forced to drink by this kind of person, and the man who wants to regain face rushes up and prepares to slap the other party and knock the other person down.
"Bang-"
Like a fan on steel, the echo was made, and this raid not only did not benefit from it, but also caused the man's hand to be shaken in severe pain.
"You!"
His eyes were full of shock and anger, and he turned his head to find something else to beat, but the other party kicked out, causing him to break his bones on the spot and fall to his knees.
"You, how is that possible?" He is not an ordinary person, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong, why did the other party suddenly advance and become so strong.
Seeing that his eldest brother was being bullied, several other people next to him also rushed up, but it was quickly resolved, and he was lying on the ground staggeringly.
The beating and the sound of shattering glass in the corner also attracted the bar's security guards, who were wearing special vests, holding electric batons in their hands, and had small barrier generators strapped to their thighs.
"What are you doing!" The security guard knows these regulars on the ground, and he usually has a good relationship, so he naturally has a bad eye on the stunned boy in front of him.
To be able to work as a security guard in a bar like the Central Star Domain, the strength must be Sequence 5, otherwise it will be difficult to deter others, but it will not be a very powerful Sequence 5 transcendent, after all, the salary of this profession is not high, and I really have that ability, and I have already gone to various large companies and offices.
Even if it is the simplest career template advanced sequence 5, with certain equipment and props, through a certain amount of training, it can still suppress other transcendents of the same level, after all, not all professions are suitable for combat, and some transcendent sequences are for professional services, such as doctors and scientific researchers who specialize in refined operations, etc.
"When they beat me just now, why didn't you come out, and now that I beat them, you just ran over, it's really a dog's eye to look down on people!" The word may not be used in this way, but the boy can't think of any good metaphors for a while, and almost subconsciously shouts out.
"Joke, who are you, you dare to hit people here, and you still have a lot of words." The security guards don't care about this, so they won't be stupid and argue, they just want to control the matter first, calm it down quickly, and don't affect the bar to make money.
After saying that, the two of them rushed over with electric shock batons, ready to take this guy down.
Seeing two heavily armed security guards rushing over, the boy panicked, after all, this was the first time this kind of trouble, he first tried to dodge once, and then he was held down by the electric shock baton, and the violent current suddenly washed away, making his body bounce, almost standing unsteadily and falling.
However, after all, the physical qualities of high-level transcendents are different, after being shocked for the first time, his body quickly adapted, and the magic power flowed all over his body, after some adjustment and preparation, when he was clicked again, it was only very uncomfortable with electricity, but he would not faint and fall.
Seeing that the electric shock could not be achieved, the security guard adjusted the limit of the electric shock baton again, this time it was not the intensity of the electric shock for ordinary people, under the infusion of magic power, the current exploded on the stick, and then the two of them rushed up again with agility.
The moment the stun baton hit the boy, the electricity fluttered, and he only felt a faint in front of him, and then a fist smashed down, knocking him away, gliding on the ground for several meters, knocking down the table and sofa behind him.
"Wow!"
"Ahh
The people in the bar screamed and cheered at the sight of this, isn't that more exciting than alcohol? Not only will no one leave, but more people will join the crowd.
After a few seconds, the boy stood up from the clutter, wiped the scratches and a little blood on his face, and once again activated the transcendent core in his body, and began to use the secret method according to the special formula he had learned.
A pale silver glow streaked across him, and then he gradually moved his somewhat stiff body, and this time, two security guards rushed up after a moment of hesitation.
They wanted to report to the boss and wait for instructions, but the bar was already in a state of revelry, and everyone was shouting for them to get on, or they would smash the bar and get their money back, so they had to go if they didn't go up.
Even the most basic template advanced sequence 5 has a physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, and after entering the state, the two of them vigorously swung the electric shock baton, filled with magic power, dancing in this dim environment with whistling sounds and crackling electric sparks, and then smashed it on the boy's head.
But the result was that the current flashed, and the soles of the feet of the surrounding people were numb, and there was no other reaction.
"You're all dogs!" The boy has a stupid mouth, and his usual good education makes him subconsciously unable to find any words that scold people without damaging his own image.
"Did you hear that, he said that you are dogs, and if he is not convinced, you will really become dogs, hahaha." It's never a big deal to watch the excitement.
"Come on, I love to watch dog fights, and it's worth coming to the bar this time." Fun people are also everywhere.
Under several blows with electric batons, the boy was unharmed, and even became more and more composed, and finally held the opponent's stick with his hand, held it tightly, and then kicked the security guard and snatched it away.
He tried it, and he couldn't use its features because the fingerprint and biometric verification failed, but in his hand, he and another security guard swung at each other, and soon knocked the other person down again.
"See, this kid has two brushes!"
There are some highly educated people in the audience, and they naturally recognize that the boy is using a metal arrangement formula, and the application of this extraordinary formula is to use magic to temporarily harden the object and transform it into a metal-like existence, which can greatly improve the resistance.
"However, it can be used on his own body, and ordinary people can't do it, unless he specially chooses a relevant transcendent job when he advances."
Some formulas cannot be manipulated and used with high precision if they are not imprinted in the transcendent core and integrated with one's own consciousness, and the higher the rating of the employment template, the stronger the use of certain formulas.
Phew, this is my strength? The boy looked at his hands, as well as the countless spectators around him who were cheering for him, and his heart was full of novelty and joy.
And somewhere in the bar, the man in the clown mask watched the scene.
"Sure enough, it's a good seedling, anyway, this is the first test product, I remember that No. 1131 only reacted on the third day after using the drug." He reached for a miniature clipboard beside him, quickly entered the data, and then took a picture of the boy in the distance.
"Come on, my favorite boy."
