Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 328

In the appraisal room, the person in charge, Tang Zhiyong, pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Yan, this crystal core has reached the mid-level E-grade standard, and the market price is about 1500. Together with the body of the black eagle, the total is 3000 yuan. What do you think?" Tang Zhiyong's tone was calm and professional, and his eyes were sincere.

This was the first time Jiang Sheng heard about crystal core grades and he couldn't help but ask, "How are crystal cores graded? Is there any secret behind it?" Jiang Sheng's face was full of curiosity, and he was eager to learn more about this new field.

Tang Zhiyong explained with a smile: "The Warcraft are the same as human awakeners. They are divided into six levels: S, A, B, C, D, and E. Each level is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, and advanced. According to the different levels, the value of their crystal cores is also very different; the market price of an E-level crystal core is about 1000 to 2000; the market price of a D-level crystal core is about 3000 to 5000; the market price of a C-level crystal core is about 5000 to 10000; the market price of a B-level crystal core is about 10000 to 20000; the market price of an A-level crystal core is about 50000 to 100000; as for the S-level, it is normally between 100 or more, and there is no market for it. The classification of crystal cores is based on the strength of the monster and the energy intensity it contains. For example, E-level monsters usually just have some special abilities, and as the level increases, the monster's abilities will become stronger and stronger, and the energy contained in the crystal core will become purer and stronger. The demand and uses of crystal cores of different levels in the market are also different. Low-level crystal cores may be more used for some basic equipment production or to assist primary practitioners, while high-level crystal cores are treasures that top powerhouses and large organizations are vying for. "

Tang Zhiyong paused and continued, "In addition, the value of crystal cores of different levels will also vary according to their attributes. For example, the price of a D-level herbivorous monster crystal core is definitely not as high as that of a black eagle's E-level crystal core; and the crystal cores of the spiritual and healing systems are definitely more valuable than ordinary wind and fire system crystal cores. The difference in attributes determines the scope of application and scarcity of the crystal core. Crystal cores with special attributes such as spiritual and healing systems are often more precious because of their powerful effects in specific fields."

Jiang Sheng nodded, "I see. Thank you Mr. Tang for clearing up my doubts." His eyes were full of gratitude and thoughts about the new knowledge.

"You're welcome." Tang Zhiyong did not look down on Jiang Sheng and his girlfriend because of their age or their attire. He knew very well that in this world full of opportunities and challenges, one should not judge people by appearance.

He had seen that the black eagle was stabbed to death by a knife, and anyone who could do this must be an awakened one; and this young man named Jiang Sheng had a very strong evil spirit, and his eyes were scary. In his estimation, this young man was most likely an awakened one. Tang Zhiyong secretly guessed Jiang Sheng's identity and experience in his heart, and was full of curiosity and respect for him.

After the transaction was completed, Tang Zhiyong gave Huang Pu Jun a white bead before leaving and said with a smile: "This is a spiritual crystal core that has just been formed. It can calm the mind and help sleep. Give it to you, kid, to play with." His face was filled with a kind smile.

Huang Pujun smiled and said obediently, "Thank you, uncle." There was a gleam of joy in her eyes.

Tang Zhiyong smiled and said, "You're welcome."

After saying goodbye to Tang Zhiyong, Jiang Sheng took Huang Pujunxiao and left Dongsen Grocery Store. The streets were bustling with people coming and going.

Since selling the bloodthirsty silver wolf yesterday, Jiang Sheng has not opened the fusion program again, because he is afraid that he will be tempted to upgrade his strength. He knows that he needs to restrain himself and not be swayed by the impulse of the moment.

Things have their priorities. There are many places where money will be needed in the future, such as buying a house, Xiaoxiao's school selection fee, and he himself needs to go to a special awakened university for further study, all of which will cost a lot of money. Jiang Sheng silently calculated the future plan in his mind, and each item needed careful arrangement and preparation.

So before that, the power cannot be upgraded. Jiang Sheng kept reminding himself to stay calm and rational.

However, just after leaving Dongsen Grocery Store, he heard a familiar task reminder sound, forcing him to open the fusion program. The sound seemed to be the call of fate, leading him to an unknown challenge.

After completing the side quest 1, there was no new quest, which made him a little worried. He didn't expect it to come at this time. What was it? Jiang Sheng's heart was full of expectations and uneasiness.

Walking on the commercial street holding Huangpu Junxiao's hand, Jiang Sheng called the fusion program in his mind, and a starry sky background appeared in front of him in an instant. The bright starry sky seemed like an endless universe, full of mystery and unknown.

Habitually look at wealth: [144261.39 Chinese Yuan]; strength: [310 kg].

"Hey, my strength has increased by another 10 kilograms!" He exclaimed in surprise, resisting the urge to spend the remaining 44000 yuan on upgrading. He glanced over the following personal attributes and the main quest, and went straight to the side quest 1:

[People live in groups and things are classified into categories. Only with a good starting point can you achieve higher achievements and become a formal student of Tianhai Pavilion.

Time: One month.

Reward: ? ? ? (Additional reward: Charm value increased by 10000000 points)]

Seeing this task, Jiang Sheng was a little depressed. This task was full of challenges and uncertainties for him.

What is "Tianhai Pavilion"? It is the nickname of Tianhai University, the highest institution of learning in Tianhai Province. At least one-tenth of the officials in the entire Chinese high-level are from Tianhai University. As an independent department in Tianhai University, "Tianhai Pavilion" is a place for cultivating awakened people. The young generation of awakened masters in Tianhai Province basically study and train in Tianhai Pavilion, and there are tens of thousands of masters in it. Jiang Sheng knew that it was not easy to enter such a place.

He originally planned to find an ordinary awakened university to study in depth, but now it seems that the fusion program is quite demanding for him. This made him feel a huge pressure, but it also stimulated his fighting spirit.

"Brother, you look so bad, what happened?" Huang Pujun, who was waiting at the side, asked with concern. Her eyes were full of worry, and her little hands tightly grasped the corner of Jiang Sheng's clothes.

Jiang Sheng came back to his senses, twitched his cheek and said, "Nothing! Come on, brother will take you shopping for clothes." He tried hard to force a smile, not wanting to make his sister worry about him.

"Brother, Xiaoxiao has a lot of clothes, no need to buy new ones." Huangpu Junxiao said sensibly.

"Your clothes are from last year. They don't fit you anymore. I'll buy you new ones." After a pause, Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Besides, you'll be going to a new school at the beginning of the semester. How can you do without a pair of pretty clothes?" Jiang Sheng looked at his sister tenderly, his heart full of love for her.

Which girl doesn't like new clothes? But Huangpu Junxiao knew that her family was not well off, so she never dared to ask her two brothers for new clothes. However, after hearing what Jiang Sheng said, she put the matter of clothes aside and asked curiously: "Brother, don't I study in Chengxi Primary School?" Her eyes were full of confusion.

"No! I plan to send you to Tianhai No. 1 Primary School or No. 2 Primary School." Jiang Sheng said firmly. He hopes to provide the best educational resources for his sister.

"Where is that..." Huangpu-jun tilted his head and smiled, full of curiosity and anticipation about the new school.

The two walked and talked. Jiang Sheng carefully asked about Huangpu Junxiao's situation at school, while Huangpu Junxiao happily told about the interesting things he had with his friends, and his laughter was as clear as a silver bell.

Then he bought five or six sets of clothes and shoes for Huangpu Junxiao in the shopping street, as well as underwear, hairpins, rubber bands and other small things for girls. Every time he chose an item, Jiang Sheng would carefully compare the style and quality to ensure that he chose the best for his sister. Huangpu Junxiao excitedly tried on the new clothes in front of the fitting mirror, with a happy smile on her face.

When passing by a jewelry store, Jiang Sheng saw a beautiful braided bracelet and thought of buying it for Huangpu Junxiao, so he took Huangpu Junxiao in. The lighting in the store was soft and warm, and all kinds of exquisite jewelry shone charmingly under the light.

When trying it on, the salesperson saw Huang Pu Junxiao holding a white bead in his hand, and said with a smile: "Little boy, do you want your auntie to help you drill a hole and string it together?" The salesperson's voice was gentle and kind, which made people feel very warm.

"Okay, thank you, sister!" Huang Pujun smiled sweetly and handed the crystal core in her hand to the salesperson after thanking her. Her eyes were shining with anticipation.

The saleswoman, who was in her thirties, was so happy that crow's feet formed at the corners of her eyes. She took the crystal core and excitedly went to pierce it. Her movements were skillful and quick, as if she was preparing a gift for her dearest one.

Liu Yier called just in time, and Jiang Sheng walked out of the store with his phone. On the other end of the phone, Liu Yier excitedly talked about his new discoveries and ideas, and Jiang Sheng listened carefully and responded from time to time.

After Huangpu Junxiao tried on the bracelet, the crystal core had been pierced and a black-rimmed gold thread was put on. It looked pretty. The crystal core looked even more mysterious and charming against the gold thread.

"Here, little boy, let me help you put it around your neck?" the salesperson said with a smile.

"Thank you, sister. I will wear it myself when I go back." Huang Pujun smiled and took the crystal core. She held it carefully, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.

Huangpu Junxiao was just about to put it in her pocket when she suddenly felt the crystal core in her palm getting hotter and hotter, like a red-hot iron. She was so frightened that she quickly threw it away, "Oh..." Her little face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"What's wrong, little girl?" The salesperson asked in confusion, squatting down to help her pick up the crystal core. The salesperson's face was full of concern and worry.

Huang Pujun smiled when she saw that the salesperson was fine holding the crystal core, and shook her head and said, "No... nothing." Her heart was full of doubts, wondering why she was the only one who felt the heat of the crystal core.

He took the crystal core by the rope and touched it carefully with his hand. He found that the crystal core was no longer hot. Huangpu Junxiao thought it was an illusion and put it away in his pocket.

Just then, Jiang Sheng, who was talking to Liu Yier, walked in from outside and asked, "How is it? Is it done?" There was a hint of urgency in his voice.

"Well, okay!" Huangpu Jun smiled and replied happily.

"How much?" Jiang Sheng looked at the salesperson.

"A single one is 30, and a pair is only 55. I suggest you buy a pair so that you can wear them alternately." The salesperson introduced enthusiastically.

"Okay, help me pack." Jiang Sheng said without hesitation. He hoped to give his sister more choices.

Since the task requires this, no matter what, let's give it a try. Jiang Sheng thought silently in his heart, and he decided to face the unknown challenge bravely.

Liu Yier came back at two o'clock in the afternoon. His face was tired, but his eyes were full of excitement. After arriving home, the three siblings went to the station without stopping and took a train to the ordinary district where Tianhai University is located - District 7. The train sped on the track, and the scenery outside the window quickly receded.

The word "ordinary area" sounds ordinary, but it is not ordinary at all. It is completely different from the slums under the same blue sky. People live and work here in peace and contentment, with a rich life. They go shopping and get their hair done during the day, and eat crayfish in KTV bars at night. They don't feel the urgency of the post-civilization era at all. The streets are spacious and clean, with tall buildings everywhere, and the shops are filled with all kinds of goods, which are dazzling.

Compared with the slums where the streets are deserted after 6pm, it is like the difference between heaven and hell. In the slums, the night is always full of silence and fear, and people hide in their homes early and dare not go out.

But it is not so easy to live in the ordinary area. The prices and rents here are high, and the taxes are also much higher than those in the slums. People without a stable source of income will soon end up sleeping on the street in the ordinary area, and eventually be sent to the slums by the city appearance department. The pressure of life makes many people stay away from it.

Jiang Sheng and his two companions got off the train with a bit of trepidation, and followed the crowd toward the exit, lingering on the holographic advertisements on the walls of the brightly lit corridor as they walked, looking like Granny Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden. Those advertisements displayed the latest technological products, fashionable clothing, and luxury travel destinations, which opened their eyes.

In fact, Jiang Sheng had been to the Ordinary District before. That was two years ago. A classmate who passed the "initial awakening" test invited him to play in the Ordinary District. At that time, in order not to look like a country boy coming to the city, he had always acted very calm. He tried hard to hide his inner shock and envy, trying to integrate into this strange and prosperous world.

The result was that after a day of fun, he remembered nothing. The experience of that day was like an illusory dream, which made him feel both beautiful and distant.

The very good classmates there never contacted him again after that. This gap and alienation made Jiang Sheng feel lost, but it also strengthened his determination to change his fate.

"Brother, look, this sister is so beautiful." Huang Pujun smiled and pointed at the image of the beautiful female star on the holographic billboard, excited. Her eyes were shining with admiration.

Without waiting for Jiang Sheng and Liu Yier to answer, she pointed to a new car advertisement and said, "Wow, this car is so interesting. It has turned from an SUV into a family sedan!" Her curiosity was completely aroused.

"Hey, brothers, look..." Huang Pujun smiled as he kept discovering new surprises.

Passers-by saw their origins from their fuss and showed undisguised contempt on their faces. Their status as ordinary residents gave them a psychological advantage over the slum residents. Their eyes were cold and contemptuous, as if they were mocking these three "country bumpkins" from the slums.

However, Jiang Sheng and the other two turned a blind eye and walked to the exit chatting and laughing all the way. Their hearts were full of expectations and longings for the future and would not be affected by the eyes of others.

After passing through the machine security checkpoint, we arrived at the exit hall, where there was a manual inspection. We needed to show our ID cards to check if we were criminals. People in some areas also asked us the purpose of our visit. For example, Jiang Sheng and his friends. The inspectors had serious expressions and performed their duties meticulously.

"What are you doing in District 7?" The middle-aged man in his forties asked, holding Jiang Sheng's ID card. His eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion, as if he wanted to find a flaw in Jiang Sheng's answer.

"Buy a house and register for school." Jiang Sheng replied, his tone calm and firm.

"Buy a house? Do you have money?" the middle-aged man asked suspiciously. He looked back and forth at Jiang Sheng and the other two, as if he didn't believe that these three ordinary-looking people could afford to buy a house in an ordinary area.

Jiang Sheng frowned and said, "Is it your business whether I have money or not?" As soon as he said it, Jiang Sheng regretted it. He realized his impulsiveness. During this period of time, perhaps because of the pressure and various experiences, his temper became more and more impatient. He should have dealt with this situation more calmly and rationally. Maybe he could get through it smoothly by saying a few nice words, but he couldn't control his emotions.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man glared at me and shouted, "What do you mean it's none of my business? If you don't tell me, I have reason to suspect that you are here to commit crimes, and I will have to ask the police to tell you." The middle-aged man's voice rose eight degrees, sounding angry and tough. His attitude instantly made the atmosphere tense.

Jiang Sheng shook his head in his heart, "You don't have to scare me with the police. To tell you the truth, besides coming here to register for admission, I have one more thing to do, which is to go to 701 for a test." Jiang Sheng took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm. He knew that he should not act impulsively in this situation.

701 is the awakened detection and identification department. The number varies according to the area. For example, the sixth area is called 601, and the fifth area is called 501, but the functions are similar. Jiang Sheng hopes that by mentioning 701, the middle-aged men's attitude towards them will change.

The middle-aged man naturally knew what 701 was. He stared at Jiang Sheng with his eyes fixed on him, his expression changing from sunny to cloudy. Although he was full of doubts about Jiang Sheng's words, he did not dare to quarrel with him before he had committed a crime. Because there was always a chance. If Jiang Sheng was really an awakened person who went to 701 for testing, he would be in big trouble. Awakened people have a special status and power in society, and it is not something that a small inspector like him can easily offend.

Finally, the middle-aged man returned the ID cards to the three people and allowed them to pass. There was still a hint of reluctance and doubt in his eyes, but he did not dare to stop them any further.

Coming from the shabby, garbage-filled, stinking slums to the ordinary area suddenly had a huge visual impact. Jiang Sheng and the other two seemed to have walked from a dark and depressing world into a bright and dazzling new world.

The road is busy and clean; brand new cars are driving in an orderly manner, and the road is almost spotless. There are tall buildings on both sides of the road, surrounded by greenery; modern buildings are towering into the sky, surrounded by green trees and flourishing flowers and plants, forming a beautiful urban picture. Girls in short skirts and stockings strolling on the sidewalk with parasols give people a sense of time and space dislocation. Their faces are full of confidence and happiness, which is in sharp contrast to the worried and tired faces of people in the slums.

Liu Yier and Huangpu Junxiao, who had been living in the slums, had already known what the ordinary area looked like from the Internet and Jiang Sheng, and had a rough outline in their minds, but when they really came here, they were still shocked. Liu Yier stared at everything around him with wide eyes, as if he was in a dream.

Liu Yier murmured, "No wonder my classmates are trying their best to go to the ordinary area. It's really great here!" His voice was full of emotion and yearning.

Huang Pujun smiled and pulled the corner of Jiang Sheng's clothes. Her pair of black eyes were lingering around. She did not forget to ask, "Brother, are we really going to live here in the future?" Her eyes were full of expectation and curiosity.

"Yes! We will live here from now on." Jiang Sheng rubbed her head, put his arm around Liu Yier's shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's go, there will be plenty of time to look at it slowly in the future, let's do our business first!" Jiang Sheng's face was full of expectations and determination for the future.

Liu Yier came back to his senses and nodded excitedly, "Yeah!" His heart was filled with longing and hope for a new life.

Jiang Sheng hailed a taxi and sent Liu Yier to a nearby agency to look at a house, and then he went straight to 701. The taxi drove quickly on the road, and the scenery outside the window kept changing.

Because Tianhai University is located here, District 5 is also the largest of the five ordinary districts, with an area of ​​nearly square kilometers, of which one-fifth, nearly square kilometers, belongs to the Tianhai University campus. This university is not only a temple of knowledge, but also a landmark of District .

701 is located near the east gate of Tianhai University, a 108-story building. This magnificent building symbolizes the importance and authority of the awakened detection and identification work.

After getting out of the taxi, Jiang Sheng looked up at the skyscraper in front of him. Under the three o'clock sunlight, the outer curtain wall was shining with golden light. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so damn tall!" The building was towering into the clouds, as if it would pierce the sky. The sunlight sprinkled on its surface, refracting a dazzling light, which made Jiang Sheng squint his eyes.

After showing his ID card at the entrance of the building, he followed other staff members and successfully entered the lobby through the revolving door. The revolving door slowly turned with a unique rhythm, and Jiang Sheng felt as if he was drawn into a wonderful world.

It was the first time that Jiang Sheng saw a revolving door in real life. When he came out, he couldn't help but look back, thinking, if he didn't come out, would he stay inside like a merry-go-round? This somewhat naive idea made him laugh. Why did he suddenly come up with such a strange idea?

Turning to look at the reception hall on the first floor, the first thing you notice is how big it is. It is estimated to be thousands of square meters, and is decorated magnificently. A huge retro crystal chandelier hangs down from the high dome, and the chandelier is like falling stars, dazzling and dazzling. Countless crystals refract the light, like a dream. Shining on the shiny obsidian floor, it is magnificent. The floor is like a huge mirror, reflecting the brilliance of the ceiling.

The second thing I saw was coldness. It came from a black wall facing the gate a few dozen meters away. On the wall was carved a huge sword that had been unsheathed. The blade of the huge sword was stuck in the back of a struggling monster with four heads and six eyes. The monster had a ferocious expression, as if it was making a final desperate resistance. It revealed a murderous aura and solemnity! The blade of the huge sword exuded a biting coldness, as if it would break free from the wall in the next second and kill all evil.

On the black walls on both sides of the giant sword, there were countless tadpole-like small characters engraved, but it was too far to see what was written. Jiang Sheng squinted his eyes and tried to recognize the small characters, but to no avail, and his heart was filled with curiosity.

Jiang Sheng looked away in amazement, and turned to look at the service windows on both sides. He was shocked by what he saw. He thought that there were not many people coming to this kind of appraisal institution, but he did not expect that there were long queues in front of dozens of service windows on both sides of the hall. People's faces were full of expectations, nervousness, or anxiety.

"Oh my god!" Jiang Sheng couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. He never thought that so many people would come for awakening appraisal.

Just when Jiang Sheng was speechless, a man in a black shirt came over and introduced himself, "Hello, sir, my name is Situ Lingfeng." The man had a professional smile on his face and his eyes were shrewd.

Jiang Sheng couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, but thinking that this was the 701 Building, he shouldn't be someone who does evil. "Well, my name is Jiang Sheng! What can I do for you?" There was a hint of doubt and vigilance in Jiang Sheng's tone.

Situ Lingfeng asked: "Mr. Yan should be here for the awakening assessment, right?" He stared at Jiang Sheng, trying to get the answer from his expression.

Jiang Sheng nodded.

Situ Lingfeng's smile became even brighter. "Then Mr. Yan, do you know the process of appraisal?" There was a hint of tentativeness in his tone.

Jiang Sheng shook his head. "Just say whatever you want to say." Jiang Sheng was already a little impatient. He just wanted to understand the situation as soon as possible.

Situ Lingfeng coughed and said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. The procedure for appraisal is very complicated. You need to fill out various information reports and wait for review. Only after passing the review can the final appraisal be carried out. Moreover, each link requires a lot of time and energy. Mr. Yan, you have also seen that there are so many people queuing up for appraisal every day. It will take at least a month for you, Mr. Yan, to get your turn." Situ Lingfeng said while observing Jiang Sheng's expression.

Jiang Sheng probably tasted something and asked tentatively, "Are you a scalper?" His eyes were full of suspicion.

Situ Lingfeng showed an embarrassed look on his face, "Uh... it's not a scalper, it's a professional agent." He tried to correct Jiang Sheng's statement, but the embarrassed expression was difficult to hide.
