American Celestial Master

Chapter 150, The Legend of Ghosts
On the evening off after the exams, Charles invited a few friends to a French dinner at his expense, borrowed from Sean, of course.

Recently, the economic situation has become more and more bad. One of the bad manifestations is that everyone has raised their wages.Yes, wages have been raised, even more than a little.After the problem of shipping, the average salary in New York actually tripled in a short period of time, and Charles and his salary naturally increased a lot.

But that was not a good thing, because during this time, inflation was completely out of control.Although wages have tripled, prices have quadrupled. Many people are clamoring for the restoration of the gold standard, and some people suggest that New York State should issue New York coins independently of other states.Of course, the reason why the person who made the latter suggestion was able to make such a suggestion is mostly not because he has a bad mind, but because the voters who voted for him generally have a bad mind.

In short, because of the severance of the seaway, inflation went up to the sky.Not even the price of food.

The United States is the most important grain producer in the world, and a large amount of grain is exported every year.Nowadays, sea transportation is endless, and of course the export of grain cannot be expected.According to the logic, there should be surplus grain everywhere in the American market, and the price of grain should drop.

But everyone knows that this year's bumper harvest is likely to be the last bumper harvest.With the continuous appearance of various monsters, the entire industrial and agricultural production has been greatly damaged. By next year, whether the US agriculture can fully support itself will be a question mark.So, whenever possible, everyone is hoarding food.As a result, the price of food rose even faster than the prices of small commodities purchased from Mexico.

But these things affect ordinary people. It's not a problem for rich people or superheroes. For the former, they are the people who are eligible to hoard; and for the latter, if you can't feed them , they will figure out a solution by themselves.

Because of this, superheroes also deeply feel the importance of improving their abilities. This is not just a matter of the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but the world is constantly driving superheroes. Improve your strength.

"Hey, Ross, you did a good job this time!" In the restaurant, Sean raised his glass to a classmate.

"It's not bad, I played normally." Ross said, "I have already signed up for Teacher Annie's self-funded training, and we will be classmates in the future. Well, I don't know much about the content of Teacher Annie's self-funded training. Can you tell me something?"

"Really? That's great." Sean said, "The contents of Teacher Annie's self-financed training are included in the admission brochure—of course they are very brief. What do you need to know?"

"Ah, it's about some pre-knowledge points about the formation map. Teacher Annie asked us to master some pre-knowledge points, but many of them are in Chinese, and although there are related translations in the materials provided by our school, But the translations themselves state that there is a considerable difference in meaning from the original text. I would like to know how you approach this issue," Ross said.

"That's it. Our method is to directly hire some people who have a good understanding of Chinese culture, such as some Chinese students studying abroad, or some experts who study ancient Chinese culture. It won't cost too much money. If they can't let If you are satisfied, you can also ask Teacher Annie directly. It's just that Teacher Annie is busy, and if the questions you ask are too easy, she will not be very happy." Xiao En said.

"Is there any consequence if Teacher Annie is upset?" Charles interrupted while listening.

"She will think that you need to clarify the pre-requisite knowledge before you are qualified to continue studying." Sean said.

If this was in the past, it would be tantamount to giving students a chance to be lazy.But now, the situation is different. Everyone who heard it frowned. Although they are not all people who love to learn, the things around them put them under more pressure.

"Sean, you know, we are not very familiar with those experts and so on, can you introduce some for us? Also, if I have a question and I'm not sure whether I should ask Teacher Annie, can I ask you first ?”

"No problem. These things are on my shoulders." Xiao En said, "Who made us classmates? Teacher Lin also said that classmates are one of the most reliable social relationships. crime."

Everyone laughed together.After laughing, Charles said, "Ross, if you had been so eager to learn back then, maybe you could have been classmates with Sean a few years ago."

"Who is not easy to learn in this kind of thing now?" Rose said, "Charles, do you know Davis? The one who sells white flour for Harden's pawn."

"I don't know, I've heard of it." Charles said, "I heard that he awakened extraordinary powers and became a superhero."

"Yes, he and I are still relatives. When I came here to sign up, I also invited him. He was more capable than me at that time. But he didn't believe in X school. Until not long ago, when I went back, I met He, he also laughed at me for being cheated. Then I tried it with him-of course it was the end of the point. And I can already point to the end with considerable confidence no matter how I compare. You understand my Meaning?" Ross said.

Charles nodded. He understood the meaning. When one side is too much stronger than the other side, it is possible to easily control the point to the end.

"He was moved and prepared to apply for our school." Ross continued.

"That's not bad."

"But a few days ago, I knew, he died," Ross said.

"How did you die?" Charles was taken aback.

"How did he die? Of course I encountered a ghost. He was paid a lot of money to help. Besides him, there were several superheroes. In the end, none of them survived. There are more and more ghosts nowadays, and It's getting stronger and stronger. There are even rumors..."

Speaking of this, Ross looked around and lowered his voice: "There is a legend that there is a kind of ghosts that specialize in attacking superheroes. Every time they kill a superhero, they can gain one of his abilities..."

"Really?" said Charles. "That's too scary."

"It might be true." Sean said, "I heard Teacher Annie mention something similar."

"Tell us quickly?" Rose and Charles said quickly.

"Teacher Annie said that the legendary ancient god of hunting, Zamargon, had a similar ability. When he was hunting, what he hunted was not only the body of the prey, but also everything about him, including his ability. In addition, the super big cats mutated by some cats have the ability to drive the souls of their prey, which is also a bit similar to what you mentioned. Maybe there are ghosts, and even when someone is awakening , and obtained a similar ability." Xiao En said.

"Won't a guy like this get stronger and stronger? This is too scary." Charles said.

"Mr. Annie said that this is how Zamargang became stronger and stronger, and eventually even became a god. But the teacher said that this kind of guy has limits, and there are very few guys whose limits can be as high as Zamargang. And rely on Such a method has great hidden dangers in obtaining power. Although she didn't say it clearly, I can see what she means, and she doesn't care much about such a guy." Sean said, "In short, I think that as long as we can continue to learn, continue to Progress, but also to unite and help each other, we certainly don’t have to be afraid of such things.”

"You're saying, oops, no, I can't waste too much time drinking and flirting with little girls anymore. Sean, your experts, introduce me too," Charles said.
