Chapter 308 Ji Jue
“Hey, have you heard? The association is really generous this time.”

Lin Ke said with great joy: “The exam simulation is really amazing. It is said that it costs billions just to start it up.

And for some reason, the consumption this time was particularly high, ridiculously high. My uncle who is in charge of the school affairs told me that after the exam, Wanhua burned 160,000 portions of the Supreme Good Essence and more than one-third of the association’s reserve spiritual essence. “

“So outrageous?” Frederick was stunned: “It’s just an exam, it won’t take that much, right?”

“Who knows? It is said that Wanhua is still in operation after the exam.” Lin Ke shrugged: “Maybe our exams are just incidental. I wonder what kind of large-scale project the association’s directors regard the Wanhua test as.”

“With so much consumption, is it enough to deduce a war between the Federation and the Empire?”

“It’s hard to say.” Hu Yun grinned: “If I were a director, I would have fun first!”

“By the time you have enough fun, Tongxie will probably go bankrupt!” The person next to him laughed.

When this topic was mentioned, everyone began to calculate the consumption of the Wanhua Tower with great interest. Everyone talked about it, and finally reached a consensus: this wave, at least burned up the total value of a small city…

“Hey, Ji Jue, what do you think?” Lin Ke noticed that Ji Jue next to him seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he didn’t want to be ignored, so he took the initiative to raise the topic.

But unexpectedly, Ji Jue’s expression became dull.

As if awakened.

Soon, he forced out a nonchalant smile.

“I don’t know.”

He resisted the urge to break out in a cold sweat: “It can’t be that the old men up there are messing around, right?”

Suddenly, laughter broke out.

The louder the laughter, the more cold sweats you’ll sweat.

Ji Jue was almost trembling.

Damn, is Wanhua’s consumption so outrageous?

You didn’t even tell anyone about it, did you?!

When he thought about the possibility that one day the examiner, that bastard, would suddenly appear and whisper to him with a grin, “Craftsman, you don’t want others to know that half of these were destroyed by you, right?”, he felt like dying.

It’s none of my business!
He even asked me to do two more in a coquettish way…

But according to Ji Jue’s understanding of the examiner, he always felt that this guy would secretly send the bill to him.

broken.

If I get caught, I’ll probably be arrested by the association and forced to work and be beaten to death, right?! I might not be able to pay it back, and my descendants will have to continue to pay it back… I can’t pay it back! I can’t pay back the association’s kindness!
Is it too late to switch to Youshen now that I have left?
Actually, I think Jian Yuan is also quite pretty…

……

“That’s Ye Xian’s student?”

In another area of ​​craftsmen, someone looked up curiously: “He looks kind and polite, quite different from Ye Xian.”

“How can the inheritance between a master and his apprentice be determined by etiquette and appearance?” Someone who has seen the match records sighed, “He is also a restless person. I am afraid he will be even more outrageous in the future.”

“But…what about Ye Xian?”

“Not coming.”

The craftsmen attending the meeting looked around and saw that the place was empty. There was no one there from beginning to end.

“Absent at a time like this?”

“She probably doesn’t care about it and doesn’t bother to deal with the association.”

“In this kind of situation, even if we come, we might not be able to cause any trouble.” Someone sneered, “It’s better not to come. What happened before the teacher won’t embarrass the children.”

During the brief conversation, a soft voice was heard.

“Sorry, please give way.”

A light figure had passed through the gap and sat in the last empty seat. He looked around and said, “I’m almost late. It’s almost starting.”

Just like a fallen leaf floating into the river, it is difficult to be noticed and not even noticed by many people.

Someone came and someone sat down.

As it should.

What’s the problem?
The old craftsman next to the empty seat, who had eyes as bright as a dragon, suddenly froze, frowned and looked to his side, shocked and confused.

“Ok?”

The old man’s expression changed: “Zong——”

“Shh!”

The visitor smiled slightly, raised a finger to his lips and said, “The child’s parents don’t want to be in the spotlight, so I’ll take their place. Just don’t make any noise and let people laugh at you.”

The old man was silent for a long time and nodded slowly.

No more words were spoken.

His eyes were drooped, as if he was sleepy.

Seeing the old dragon in the bell tower acting like this, the voices among the craftsmen gradually became lower and gradually disappeared.

In the silence, everything finally began.

Most of the rituals in the world are similar. Even if there are occasional differences, there is no big difference. In ancient times, apprentices had to go through long and complicated tests and many stages to become masters. In the end, according to the differences of each party, there were also flame swallowing, fire walking, blood drinking and sacrifice. But now they have been simplified.

It was more like a commendation ceremony.

Even the chairman Delong showed up despite his busy schedule and praised all the apprentices as the pillars of the future and they should make a difference.

The real highlight is the lush green gem badges in the box held by the etiquette staff.

That was a material monopolized by the association, an excellent conductor of spiritual essence – tempered lapis lazuli. All of them weighed more than 100 grams of top-grade material without any impurities, and were embedded with the association’s emblem and logo.

As a material, it can be inlaid in any creation or work to enhance stability and spiritual affinity, just like the icing on the cake, and it is versatile and effective.

More importantly, it is placed on the craftsmen’s personal creations to demonstrate their status.

The data entry had been completed long before this, and the moment the lapis lazuli badge was pinned on the apprentices’ collars, there was one more craftsman in the world.

But what is the price?

The cost is various basic fees totaling 194,600 yuan per year…

Six hundred of them are handling fees and membership fees, four thousand are the cost of making the association’s internal network access authenticator, and one hundred and ninety thousand are the price of basic access rights.

With the authority in hand, you can legitimately access the association’s patent library and use the patents and technologies disclosed therein for free. There are even various ancient heritages and lost skills, fragments, and even open classes and teachings by masters.

Just pay the money. More than 90% of the problems can be solved by paying the money, and the remaining problems require more money.

Wool comes from sheep.

The association is so rich because of the high-quality craftsmen. The output of craftsmen and registered workshops around the world is such a huge resource. If you combine it a little, even if you leak a little, it will be an astronomical figure.

Thinking of this, Ji Jue really wanted to transfer to an administrative position with the identity of a craftsman.

It’s a pity that, not only does he have a future, he will definitely be hung up and beaten to death by his teacher.

Under everyone’s gaze, after everyone else had completed the process, Ji Jue was the last one to step onto the podium, walking step by step under the spotlight.

For some reason, I suddenly felt nervous.

Difficult to breathe.

Jiang Tongguang smiled brightly and patted his shoulder in a friendly manner.

“You’re a good boy. I’m very optimistic about you.”

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

With a boy like you, there will be no shortage of bloody scenes to watch in the future!
Gustav, who was standing next to him, looked at the young man in front of him, his expression changed slightly, and in his solemnity, it seemed as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he said nothing.

No need to add unnecessary details.

Rongxun was here, and it was all his own doing. He was determined by nature, and no one else could interfere.

What else can I say?

From then on, success or failure was in his own hands. The road to the future was already under his feet.

What Gustav hoped for was that the young man in front of him could stay on this path forever.

Just like that, I once again made way for him.

willingly.

Finally, You Delong put the badge on Ji Jue.

After patting him on the shoulder encouragingly, he looked at the podium next to him and made a suggestion with a smile.

“Would you like to say a few words?”

“Is it okay?” Ji Jue was stunned.

“You are the chief of this term, is there any reason why you can’t do that?”

Deron exerted a little force and pushed him forward.

For a moment, everything was silent.

In the dead silence, Ji Jue looked at the figures and faces in the audience, as well as the gazes that were looking at him at this moment, and hesitated for a moment.

It feels so unreal.

Different from those life-and-death struggles and fights, even though Lou Feng repeatedly emphasized how the association should arrange things, he still found it difficult to feel the reality of what was happening before his eyes.

It’s like accidentally taking a nap during class.

It was just a trance, and when I came to my senses, everything changed.

Clearly, a few months ago, he was just a college student who was busy pushing his classmates to death every day, but a few months later, he was completely different. After traveling such a long road and such a long distance, he came here and held the craftsman’s badge in his hands several years in advance.

Even, he became the chief of this session…

Before this, he was used to cold eyes and contemptuous expressions, and he strode forward nonchalantly. But when he really reached the set destination and looked back, he still felt unbelievable.

In this confusion, when he looked up, he saw a figure with his arms folded at the back of the venue.

I don’t know when it will arrive.

As always, cold and calm, looking down on everything.

So familiar.

There was no sign of joy or pride.

Just look at him quietly, that’s all.

But that sight made Ji Jue feel as if he had returned to the air, like a fish returning to water.

All the uneasiness and confusion seemed to disappear, and I was back on solid ground again.

So the boy took a deep breath and took a step forward as a matter of course.

Looking at those unfamiliar faces, solemnly and seriously.

Go tell them.

“Hello everyone, I’m Ji Jue.”

He said, “The craftsman from Chaosheng Workshop, Ji Jue.”

There is no need for excessive elaboration and introduction, nor is there a need for a very long title or resume.

This is the person standing before you at this moment, nothing more.

He started laughing.

He took a step back, bowed slightly, and gave a final salute.

Amidst the brief moment of astonishment and confusion, sounds of applause were heard from the crowd.

Someone chuckled and raised his hands. After a moment’s delay, the sound spread like ripples, filling the entire venue.

From a distant place, the sound of loud bells was heard.

Under the clear sky and scorching sun, at the highest point of Tianshu, the ancient bell tower rings the echoes of time, which spread out and cover everything.

From the sound of the bell, the lonely and painful boy of the past raised his head and looked up at the ray of sunlight that appeared from under the stained glass window in the dome.

Reaching out subconsciously.

Staring at the palm illuminated by the sunlight, the five fingers contracted.

Hold tight.

From then on, it was the Ash Craftsman, Ji Jue.
