Chapter 243: Conflict of Thoughts, Mouse in the Rice Jar, Divine Harvest (4K)
Ning Yuantai curled his lips and said:
"Look carefully, that's not an ordinary cat..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mude took a closer look at the cat squatting on Xue Jing's shoulder, and his eyes stopped on the platinum tail ring on its furry tail.
"That's... GOD-1391?"
"So, this cat is a person? I didn't expect this thing to appear here. Hasn't the Lion Saint Church come to cause trouble for him yet?"
Ning Yuantai spread his hands and said, "The Lion Saint Cult is a well-known dog-skin plaster. Wherever there is GOD-1391, there will be them, until they get this "holy object" back... Now GOD-1391 has not been taken back by them, which can only prove one fact."
He paused, and said with some pride: "This thing is in Brother Xue's hands, they can't take it back."
Xu Mude was noncommittal: "Oh? You are a commoner who is not married to a wealthy family, but you are quite capable. It's a pity that you are just a commoner. It's useless to be capable. You can't achieve anything in the end."
Ning Yuantai frowned and said, "You are like old Thirteen as soon as you open your mouth."
"Aren't capable people who have made their own way without relying on their family background much more powerful than those good-for-nothings who have a family background but no ability? Why do you say it the other way around, as if you can't be successful if you're not born into a wealthy family?"
Ning Yuantai was very dissatisfied.
Xu Mude smiled and said lightly: "Young Master Ning, your idea is fundamentally wrong."
"The more you emphasize the power of starting from scratch, the more you prove the superiority of being born into a wealthy family."
"It is precisely because the 'good-for-nothing' you are talking about does not need to do anything, does not need to work hard, does not need to have any ability, and is just a piece of rotten meat, a piece of dog shit... But as long as he is born into a wealthy family, he can stand higher and live better than the self-made man you are talking about. This is what I am proud of, the superiority of my birth."
Xu Mude laughed happily: "The more you brag about Xue Jing, the funnier it is for me. No matter how hard he works or how powerful he is, he is just a martial artist... At best, he can get a title in the end, or even more exaggeratedly, give him an eternal title, and that's the end."
"But so what? When Cang Ting gives an order, no matter how high his title is, he still has to obey. You see, in the end, he still has to be inferior to us good-for-nothings. Doesn't this just prove the superiority of our Thirteen Great Families?"
Ning Yuantai's fists hardened, and he frowned and said, "The ancestors of the Thirteen Great Families were not called great families in the beginning, but were what you call common people!"
Xu Mude waved his hand and said casually, "Young Master Ning, calm down. I know you always want to emphasize that you don't rely on your family but only on yourself, but do you really believe this when you say it?"
"You are also someone who has been protected by the Thirteen Great Families... so don't put down your bowl and start cursing."
Ning Yuantai clenched his fists but was speechless.
Of course he knew that no matter how much he emphasized it, even if his family really did not provide him with any secret help, as long as the mark of his birth from one of the Thirteen Great Families remained, many benefits would quietly flow to him invisibly.
But he just felt that something was wrong. Xu Mude's idea must be wrong.
This is a fundamental difference in the three perspectives of cognition. To put it more exaggeratedly, it is a confrontation of ideologies.
Ning Yuantai opened his mouth but could not utter any rebuttal. He just sighed and walked towards Xue Jing while saying listlessly:
"Forget it, go and do your own thing. Just find me a guide, and don't come here by yourself."
Xu Mude smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have no interest in communicating with Xue Jing, who started from scratch. I am just giving you face, Young Master Ning... You see, this is the convenience you get because of your background. This is the advantage of the Thirteen Great Families."
Ning Yuantai was too lazy to reply to him and walked to Xue Jing in silence.
Xue Jing was looking at the surroundings curiously. Seeing Ning Yuantai approaching with a somewhat dejected look, he said:
"Yuantae, what's wrong?"
Ning Yuantai scratched his head and said, "Nothing, Brother Xue."
Xue Jing smiled and said casually, "You feel that the ideas you have been adhering to are not flawless and you cannot convince others. Are you depressed?"
Ning Yuantai was surprised and asked, "Brother Xue, did you hear everything?"
Xue Jing stepped forward and said casually: "You guys are talking so loudly that I can hear you clearly even if the distance is ten times farther."
Ning Yuantai caught up with Xue Jing, half a body length behind him, and whispered, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you..."
After walking in silence for a while, Ning Yuantai couldn't help but say:
"Brother Xue, don't you have anything to say..."
Xue Jing tilted his head to look at him and said teasingly:
"Do you want me to say something in support of you and scold aristocrats like Xu Mude, so as to give your current erratic thoughts a shot of adrenaline?"
Ning Yuantai smiled awkwardly but did not deny it.
"I'm sorry, Yuan Tai, although I should be one of the people you call 'self-made', but I can't say 'you are right' with confidence."
Xue Jing came to a high-tech device that looked like a computer host and stood in front of it, saying without turning his head:
"There is no right or wrong in thought itself... This is just something that humans have concluded arbitrarily based on their own limited standards. There is no absolutely correct thought in the world, only thoughts that are relatively in line with one's own interests."
Ning Yuantai was a little disappointed: "Brother Xue..."
Xue Jing paused and said, "But... I think your idea is valuable."
"Although it's a childish way of thinking, you can empathize with people from poor backgrounds when you have a privileged background. This may not necessarily be a good thing for you, but it is a valuable idea."
“Be able to abandon your own interests and think about the interests of others, even if the thinking is childish and trivial. Perhaps in the future, when your thoughts are fully formed, you will laugh at and despise your own stupidity and ignorance at this moment.”
Xue Jing paused and smiled, "But at least at this moment, I think you are great, much better than the so-called nobles who are content to enjoy their birth."
Ning Yuantai's eyes filled with tears when he heard this: "Brother Xue..."
……
Skyscraper Center, 1052nd floor.
"This is one of the shelters of Xu's Biology and Xu's Shelter."
In the long white corridor, transparent compartments of various sizes crisscrossed each other. A mature woman wearing an OL short skirt and delicate makeup stretched out her hand and introduced with a smile.
She looked at Xue Jing who was looking around, and her gaze could not help but linger on that too captivating face, and she sighed secretly.
What a handsome boy! Sister, I can really...
Xue Jing looked towards the transparent compartment next to him. Under the light, there was a white exhibition stand in the center, and on the stand was a... dried salted fish?
It was about one meter long, with a shriveled and weathered white body and a pair of dead fish eyes that were wide open. Except for the fact that its body was abnormally straight and a bit strange, it looked exactly like an ordinary salted fish.
"This is [GOD-1468: Salted Fish Sword]."
Seeing Xue Jing's gaze, the OL woman immediately chuckled and introduced softly.
"Don't be fooled by its funny appearance. It is actually extremely sharp and hard. It is a very powerful weapon. Those who have used it say it is good... But the side effect is that it will make the user smell like fish."
Xue Jing withdrew his gaze from the Salted Fish Sword and looked around.
There are dozens of transparent compartments like this on this floor...
He felt like a mouse entering a rice jar, and his fingers began to move uncontrollably. After thinking for a while, Xue Jing smiled at the office lady and whispered, "Can I touch these divine relics?"
The OL woman was almost dizzy by this smile. She was stunned for a moment before she said with embarrassment:
"This……"
Ning Yuantai, who was standing next to him, said, "The divine relic is not a rare thing. It's just a touch. What's the big deal? I will talk to Xu Mude about it later. I won't make it difficult for you."
The OL woman laughed and said, "But... many of the divine relics are completely sealed, without even an entrance or exit. You can't get in or out, and you can't touch them..."
Ning Yuantai glared at her and said, "Since you said 'many' and not 'all', then there must be some that are not completely closed, right?"
The OL woman's forehead was covered with sweat: "That's right..."
"What are you waiting for? Take us there!" Ning Yuantai said unhappily.
The office lady thought nervously, this person is the friend that Mr. Xu said he would treat well, so if he just touched her, it shouldn’t be a big deal…
She walked to the transparent compartment where the Salted Fish Sword was placed, and reached out to press a few keys on the computer-like numeric keypad on the wall.
The transparent partition suddenly opened with a hissing sound, and one side of it became a transparent door, slowly opening to both sides.
A fishy smell surged out from it. The office lady quickly covered her nose, her face wrinkled from the smell, and said in a muffled voice:
"This is one of the divine relics that is not fully enclosed..."
"Damn, this smell." Ning Yuantai also covered his nose, looking unbearable.
Xue Jing held his breath at the beginning and his face looked normal. But Mao Mao, as a cat, covered his nose with his two front paws. His eyes were filled with tears and he looked like he was about to faint.
Xue Jing stepped in and put his hand on the sword of salted fish.
[Divine substance detected, divinity is being absorbed...]
He was like a researcher who was very curious about divine relics. He kept touching the Sword of Dried Salted Fish and pretending to be very interested.
Tens of seconds later.
[Divinity is absorbed]
[Possess divinity: 4299]
After gaining nearly 500 points of divinity, Xue Jing turned around and walked out of the transparent compartment without saying a word.
"It's my dream to touch all the divine relics... Let's continue walking around. If there is a divine relic that is not fully enclosed, please let me know..."
Xue Jing said to the OL woman.
Seeing that he was really just touching her, the office lady breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xue Jing a perfect smile: "Yes."
……
Xue Jing followed the OL guide, strolling around and listening to the introduction of the divine relics while quietly developing his spiritual visualization, radiating out and engraving everything around him into his mind. He could clearly detect where the guards, cameras, infrared detectors and other alarm devices were.
After touring the entire floor, there were dozens of compartments for divine relics, four of which were not fully enclosed. Xue Jing went in and touched all of them. Together with the Salted Fish Sword he got at the beginning, he obtained a total of 2027 points of divinity.
[Possess divinity: 5829]
Looking at the more than five thousand divinities on the panel, Xue Jing suppressed his somewhat agitated mood, and showed a look of satisfaction with his hobby with excellent acting skills, and smiled:
"It's really worth the trip. Thank you very much, sister... But your company is so big, don't you have any divine relics with serial numbers within the first three hundred?"
The OL woman saw Xue Jing was happy, and she also felt happy for some reason. She shook her head and smiled when she heard the words:
"I'm not sure about that... But our company is on the 1097th and 1098th floors of the skyscraper, and no one is allowed to enter. If it's something very precious, I guess..."
Having said this, she realized that she seemed to have said too much, so she quickly stopped talking and smiled awkwardly.
Xue Jing did not show any strangeness, but said with emotion: "Hey, I really want to see it if I have the chance."
Ning Yuantai glanced at his bracelet and reminded in a low voice: "Brother Xue, it's almost time."
Hearing this, Xue Jing smiled at the office lady and said, "Sorry to bother you today, dear sister. Thank you for your guidance. We will leave now."
The OL woman heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, but at the same time she felt a little reluctant: "I am also very happy to introduce the divine relics to you... to you two."
……
The aircraft, which looked like a large piece of bread, slowly floated away from the center of the skyscraper and headed towards Yuancheng.
In the cabin, Ning Yuantai asked Xue Jing expectantly, "How is it, Brother Xue? Although the time is a bit tight, you should be satisfied, right?"
Xue Jing was patting the cat's back. Ever since she smelled the Salted Fish Sword, she had been sneezing from time to time.
"sneeze--!"
The cat wiped the tears from the corners of its eyes with its front paws, looking listless.
Xue Jing nodded and said with a smile: "I am very happy to see so many divine relics at once. Thank you very much, Yuantai."
Ning Yuantai touched his nose and said happily: "I'm glad I can help you, hehe."
After chatting all the way for three or four hours, Xue Jing returned to the Yuancheng Zhige Base.
When they arrived at the place, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Xue Jing kept Ning Yuantai and made a special meal for him, which almost made Ning Yuantai die of overeating.
This time Maomao had no objection to this, after all, Ning Yuantai had just helped Xue Jing.
After everything was settled, Ning Yuantai said goodbye and left. Xue Jing sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, his eyes deep in thought.
"The Xu family's defense force is very strong... I have detected at least seven dangerous beings through my mental visualization, and they also have various AI automatic weapons with amazing lethality. It is impossible to rob them by force."
"But fortunately, we have discovered the possible location of [The Origin of All Things], the 1097th or 1098th floor..."
"We need to come up with a more reliable and foolproof plan..."
Thoughts kept jumping around in Xue Jing's mind.
"We need an alibi, and we also need to practice the infiltration and escape routes... It seems that it will be difficult to complete them in the three days of rest. This matter will have to be postponed for a while."
he said to himself.
"To forge iron, you must be strong yourself. Let's upgrade first."
Xue Jing opened the panel, looked at the number of divinities that had exceeded five thousand, and rubbed his hands in a somewhat ungraceful manner.
