The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 119 Xu Shu: This world is a fucking cycle
In this long and dead silence, Li Tao finally pursed his dry lips and was the first to break the silence: "You are already on the Qingyun Ranking. Didn't the Administration arrange patrols to follow you out of the city to open up new land and accumulate initial contribution points?"

"No..." Xu Shu's eyes were dull, thinking, how can I explain to you that the Administration Bureau only got to know me today? How about I show you my enrollment certificate?

The Bureau of Control will arrange for the new extraordinary to obtain their first contribution points and directly send patrols to protect them? The treatment is really good, can I apply for it?
Xu Shu had a lot of ideas in his mind.

However, this was the first time that Li Tao had encountered such a situation in his more than ten years of service in the Astronomical Society.

He pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, we can only use these two options. The first is to convert these contribution points into cash of equal value. Normally, 1 contribution point is about 1, but everyone assumes that there will be an increase. This money will be calculated based on a 60% increase, and we can pay you in cash."

Xu Shu frowned.

1 contribution point = yuan in cash?

A 2% increase seems like a good deal, but money is easy to earn, but contribution points are hard to accumulate.

Moreover, if you want to exchange contribution points for equivalent gold, you can do so at any time. If you want to exchange gold for contribution points, you must wait for someone to trade, and the exchange rate may be higher by then.

So taking all factors into consideration, this deal is definitely not a good deal.

He asked directly: "What about the second option?"

"Secondly, we at the Astronomy Association will owe you this contribution point first. When you can open the trading area, we will pay you at any time." Li Tao said.

Even though he owed money, he was not embarrassed at all, because the Astronomical Society was the actual largest authority in the Human Alliance in the post-apocalyptic era, and its authority was final.

If this kid dared to speak rudely and asked nonsense questions like "Will the Astronomy Society default on its debt?", he would have to teach him a lesson no matter what.

Thinking of this, Li Tao even looked at Xu Shu with some anticipation, hoping that he would say so so that he could satisfy his desire to be a teacher.

"Teaching and educating, and resolving doubts" has always been the belief of the Astronomical Society.

"Then would your Astronomy Society..." Xu Shu really opened his mouth.

"Will something happen?" Li Tao looked at Xu Shu encouragingly, feeling excited.

Good, good! Brat, I can tell you are the Iron Bull just by looking at your name! You are on the Qingyun list at such a young age, but you don’t even know basic common sense. You must have not been serious and didn’t study hard in school!

How dare you doubt our astronomy club? See how I can educate you on behalf of your parents!
At this moment, the raging fire in his heart had washed away his previous joy and sorrow.

Now he just wants to teach this kid a lesson!

Come on, kid, say it! Say it, say it!
Say it out!

Xu Shu looked at Li Tao, who had a strange look in his eyes for some reason, and said hesitantly, "Will you give me interest?"

"..." Li Tao's expression suddenly froze on his face.

"Hmm? Director Li, is this okay?"

"Of course not!" Li Tao's teeth were about to break.

What is your astronomy? Interest? It's abominable!
"First of all, there will be no interest. Secondly, it seems that you have made your choice, so just owe it to me first. I have added you as my friend. Please approve it. When the trading area is opened and contribution points can be collected, please notify me. Then I will complete the wanted order for you."

Notary Li Tao showed Xu Shu the operation process in front of him:

[Wanted: Lu Bingwei, Level 2 Sentinel]...

Looking at the familiar name, his fingers trembled slightly, and he clicked - [Wanted completed! ]

[Confirmed information: November 11, the 23th year of the new calendar, D8B3 District Astronomy Meeting;]

[Notary: Li Tao, second-level chess player]

[Ghostwriter: Gu Pan, first-class strongman] (Note: bounty to be paid)
call!
Li Tao let out a long sigh and added Xu Shudao's friend information: "Please confirm it."

Xu Shu nodded and asked, "Ghostwriter? Bounty hunter, right? Is there anything I should pay attention to?"

Li Tao nodded. "That's about it. If you accept the reward from the Astronomy Society, it is assumed that you work for the Society. The Society will not restrict you or assign you tasks. However, you have a record of being a ghostwriter. Next time, you can take the initiative to accept some wanted orders. It is a symbol of your status as a contributor to the Society. There is nothing else to pay attention to... Oh, there is one thing."

Xu Shu was wondering if he could make money from this, so he asked casually, "What should I pay attention to?"

Li Tao smiled and said, "Don't put yourself on the wanted list."

As he said that, he walked out the door and waved before leaving: "Xiao Yu, take him out."

"Ok."

The capable young waitress in a grey suit came back and said, "Mr. Xu Shu, I'll take you out. By the way, this is the ghostwriter's medal. Please keep it."

As she spoke, she took out a small golden medal, which was wrapped in a transparent gel and was soft and chewy. One side was printed with the icon of the Astronomical Society's circular building, and the back was written with eight small words: The array is with me, heaven and earth are united!

Xu Shu nodded and followed the cute short-haired girl back along the original path.

At the corner behind.

Li Tao walked to the window, looked at the setting sun in the west, suddenly covered his chest, a painful expression on his face, and his eyes were red.

I still remember vividly the homeless child who was often taken home by his old father to eat because of poverty and who would call him his brother...

Li Tao took a deep breath, closed his eyes gently, and took a deep breath towards the setting sun in the west:
"Praise the sun, the dawn is eternal!"

…………

"Mr. Xu Shu, I will take you here. You are welcome to come to the Astronomical Society often in the future. May the array protect you!"

The waitress Xiao Yu pounded her chest with her right hand, bowed politely to Xu Shu, and escorted him out of the Astronomical Society Hall.

That's quite polite... Xu Shu nodded, looked at the otherworldly leisurely and carefree atmosphere in the hall which looked like a performance of a university art club, and after a flash of envy in his eyes, he quickly left and took the initiative to close the door for them.

pat!

Once the door is closed, it separates the inside from the outside.

In the harmonious hall, there are still sounds of piano and reading.

The old painter in the lead was originally sitting by the window, and from behind he seemed to be watching the sunset in the west and the moonrise in the east.

He had amazing hearing ability. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he was startled and opened his eyes, as if waking up from a dream.

Then, he looked around the hall but found nothing. Then, as if he was thinking about something and had an epiphany, he began to paint on the paper, attracting many students to watch.

at this time--

"Ah~"

He let out a scream, and his two eyeballs popped open at once, turning red and white, staining the painting red!
Then he lay motionless on the ground, unconscious.

At first the place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and then it became lively.

The students shouted loudly and told each other: "Oh no! Oh no! Master Han is injured!"

"Come on!"

"Teachers, help me..."

Many people screamed at once.

After a while, three middle-aged men dressed as Confucian scholars who were talking excitedly came over.

One said, "Call the Pharmacists Association and ask them to carry him away... or you can carry him over."

Another said: "It's okay, classmates, don't panic. Master Han often reveals secrets. It's normal for him to show his eyes and mouth. Everyone, remember this in the future. Secrets cannot be revealed casually. When you observe the stars, write talismans, or carve seals, be careful and don't draw everything you see..."

The last one walked up to the painting, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Every painter's painting is priceless, a prophetic object that can reveal the secrets of heaven! Mr. Han hasn't painted for many days, but today he was able to paint a picture by chance. Come on, this is a rare opportunity, let's see what he painted!"

"makes sense!"

A group of people, men and women, old and young, dressed like ancient scholars or modern scholars, gathered around Han Mo who was lying on the ground and looked at his paintings.

——A very abstract painting, probably depicting the rising sun in the morning.

The painting shows a simple earth, mountains, walls, ruins, and even a thick vertical line, which is used to symbolize the star tower. Perhaps because too much effort was put into it, the vertical line is crooked.

The painting was not completely finished, as the sun only had time to draw an outline. Fortunately, it was filled with the blood spurted by Master Han, which just filled it into a red circle. However, there was still some grayish-white liquid stuck on it, forming a shape like a spreading morning glow, which looked a little weird.

The group of people were confused.

"What does this prophecy mean, Lao Yan? You and Lao Han chat the most, what can you see?"

"How dare you slander others!"

"The sun rises? What kind of prophecy is that?"

"I guess so. After all, the sun rises every day?"

"This old man, are you bored? Painting the sun? Go away, this painting is worthless!"

As he was talking, Teacher Yan contacted the unit at the other end of the Administration Bureau: "Are they there? Send a third-level Ximing person over. Old Han's eyes popped out... Oh, is the Venerable here today? Then please convey the message. Thank you, Venerable!"

Seeing that the matter had been settled, the students dispersed like birds and beasts, and went back to playing the piano or playing chess.

After everyone left, the three middle-aged men in Confucian robes looked at each other, and suddenly moved hurriedly, squatting on the ground, and moved Han Mo, whose eye sockets were bloody holes, into the closed room next door.

The 'worthless' painting was also taken away and turned over on the table.

"What do you think Mr. Han saw in the starry sky just now?"

"Who knows?"

"I can't understand this painting... Anyway, let the Venerable come and save him first."

All three of them had solemn expressions on their faces.

The reason why I didn't care just now was naturally to avoid scaring the students.

In fact, they were more panicked than anyone else.

Han Mo from the Astronomical Society, the fourth level of the scholar path: “Astrologer”!
Don't be fooled by his approachable appearance, he is actually one of the only two fourth-level bosses stationed in the D8B3 area.

The other fourth-level one is the "Reverend Abundance" from the physician's path.

These two are the true top leaders of the entire security zone.

Something that made him spurt blood after seeing it must have been some incredible prophecy!

The three of them were speechless as they recalled the indescribable scene in the painting, which was obviously very sunny but was made extremely weird by Han Mo's blood spurting out.

One after another, they stopped thinking.

…………

Willow branches on the moon.

Xu Shu has to go to the hospital first.

I have nearly 10 million yuan ready in hand, plus the yuan I have saved for nutrition fees at the hospital, plus some money from my family, it should be enough.

In this way, his adoptive father's illness could be completely cured, and Xu Shu could finally put his mind at ease.

When he arrived at the hospital, he went straight to the medical staff, explained his purpose, and placed more than 2.3 million yuan in front of them on the spot.

Seeing that the patient was so enthusiastic, the doctors naturally would not refuse. They immediately called several doctors over, and someone immediately notified the leader.

Soon, the attending physician that Xu Shu had met also arrived.

"Hello, doctor. You said before that someone promised that my father could be cured if the money was in place. I have almost prepared the money. When can my father be treated? When the time comes, 250 million will be sent to me immediately!" Xu Shu also went straight to the point.

After understanding the situation, the old doctor looked at Xu Shu, then at the bundles of banknotes: "Okay, okay, the funds are in place, everything is easy to deal with. I will contact that gentleman for you right away! You just wait here."

He went out in a hurry, apparently to contact the dean.

Seeing this, Xu Shu chatted with his parents in the room for a while.

Adoptive mother Li Guoying still didn't quite believe it: "Ah Shu, where did you get so much money? Listen to your mother, you can't do anything illegal. You can't do it."

Adoptive father Zhou Junjie also frowned at this moment: "Ah Shu, tell me the truth, if you got this money illegally, I would rather not live!"

Although he guessed that Xu Shu already had a good job, most likely working for some extraordinary person, but 250 million at once was definitely a huge sum of money. Even if he was an extraordinary person, it was unlikely that he would give his son so much money at once, right?

I'm afraid I've let down that noble man's trust and made some unfavorable profit!

At this time, Xu Shu saw that the time was ripe, and finally confessed his identity as a superhuman.

Needless to say, the details were very clear, and when the two elders saw this, they soon burst into tears of joy.

"My son has made great progress..." Zhou Junjie closed his eyes with satisfaction and took a rest. His physical strength was getting worse and worse, and he really couldn't delay any longer.

After waiting for about an hour and a half, Xu Shu saw the attending doctor calling him and walked out.

The dean is here too.

"Xu Shu, that lady is here. Let me say a few words to you first. You must remember not to talk too much and do not ask about the price, understand? 250 million is the price she personally offered, and it can guarantee that your father can be cured. Don't worry, the hospital will not cheat you on this. I'm telling you this because I'm afraid that you will talk nonsense and offend people, and then your father will be beyond help..." The attending doctor kept chattering and gave a kind reminder.

Xu Shu glanced at him and said, "No problem."

After a pause, he added, "Thank you, doctor."

After a while, there was the sound of tapping footsteps around the corner.

"Here it comes." said the dean.

Soon, a large group of people came, including women in their teens or twenties, all wearing snow-white dresses and looking like dancers.

In the front was a mature and sexy young woman in a white shirt, a hip skirt, and black stockings that went over the knees. She was wearing high heels, swaying with every step, and walked to the door with a duangduang sound.

"Doctor Gu, this is the patient's family member. Xu Shu, this Doctor Gu will be your father's attending physician from now on." The dean reminded.

Xu Shu was stunned: "Ah, aunt?!"

"Aunt?"

The dean and the non-supernatural medical expert who introduced him were also stunned.

How do you know each other? Relatives?

At this time, the beautiful doctor who was putting on the white coat pushed up her glasses and looked at Xu Shu calmly: "Kid, what did you call me?"

Xu Shu was stunned: "Ah, didn't you ask me to call you auntie..."

The female doctor laughed and said, "I asked you to shout? Haha, this is the first time I see you."

"Ah?" Xu Shu was suspicious.

Really? First time seeing me? Aren't you Gu Yueming?

We were together a few hours ago. You just changed your clothes. Do you think I don't recognize you? Your earrings and ring are the same. Why are you pretending not to know me?
Uh... could they be twin sisters?
They are all family-oriented, so it is normal to wear the same accessories.

Just as Xu Shu was thinking this, he saw the female doctor in front of him push up her gold-rimmed glasses that made her look extremely coquettish, and said expressionlessly: "Hello, my name is Gu Yuexi. Judging from your expression, it seems that you have seen my... hehe, you have seen my sister? What's going on? Why did you call her aunt? She really recognizes relatives randomly. If you call her aunt, then shouldn't you call me..."

Xu Shu quickly smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, I made a mistake."

As he said this, Xu Shu felt a chill in his heart.

Gu Pan said that her adoptive mother was her aunt, her mother's sister, but she never mentioned Gu Yuexi.

Furthermore, looking at Gu Yuexi's attitude now, although she has not turned hostile, she is smiling from the outside but not from the inside. I'm afraid that the relationship between these two sisters is not harmonious!

And although they look completely the same, their manners and temperaments are indeed completely different.

This Doctor Gu is dressed like a slut and makes such a big show when he comes out.

Yes, indeed! She is indeed not like my aunt who is charming but approachable...

Thinking of this, Xu Shu stopped talking, saying that the more he said, the more mistakes he made. He said solemnly, "I'll leave my father's illness to Dr. Gu."

Gu Yuexi nodded slightly, with a proud look on her face: "Now that I am here, I will take your money and cure you. Let's set up the prayer and execution ground."

She waved her hand, and a group of maids behind her walked into the ward with flower baskets. They first used a strange liquid spray, spraying it everywhere, making the inside soft and moist.

Then, a circle of stones engraved with runes were placed in a regular pattern around Zhou Junjie's bed, and strips of flocs could be seen inside the stones.

"Is it made of erosion crystals?" Xu Shu thought thoughtfully.

At this time, the other maids were setting up the scene. The beautiful doctor hugged her towering breasts and paused, saying:
"My dear, don't think the fee is high. Your father's disease is rather special. It is a complication of long-term exposure to erosion and pollution. I need to consume a large number of spiritual items and pray for him for about three consecutive days to remove all the filth. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but it is also a huge loss of my personal strength, so I hope you understand..."

"Doctor Gu, you misunderstood." Xu Shu interrupted her politely and said, "As long as you can cure my father, I will pay any amount."

The more than 200 million yuan taken from the Gu family finally returned to another person in the Gu family. Xu Shu was of course distressed, but as long as he could save his adoptive father, this amount of money was nothing.

"Haha, you are quite filial. The venue is almost set up. Family members and outsiders must all stay away. No one is allowed to come in within three days until I come out." Gu Yuexi said.

"What about three days later?" Xu Shu discovered the blind spot.

Gu Yuexi looked at him expressionlessly: "Either I am hopeless, or I am hopeless."

"Forehead!"

Feeling that this person had a bad temper, Xu Shu pulled his adoptive mother away. Before leaving, he said to Gu Yuexi, "Then I'll leave everything to you."

"Well, go out." Gu Yuexi said coldly.

Squeak!

The ward door is closed.
Doctor Gu stood in the ward, but glanced back out of the corner of his eye.

After seeing Xu Shu and the others leave and the Gu family guarding the door, her tense face, which looked like that of a mean boss, suddenly collapsed:

"Phew, that was a close call, that was a close call... Fortunately, I was quick-witted..."

"If he finds out that I actually like to dress like this, the image I have worked so hard to build in his mind will be ruined!"

"That kind of thing is absolutely not allowed~"

Gu Yueming rolled his eyes, fanned himself with his hands, and talked to himself.

She looked down and saw that her milky white northern hemisphere was rising and falling with every breath. She could only see the mountains and valleys but not the bottom of her feet. She was a completely charming beauty and she couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that I have to pay attention to my image in the future...

Then, she gathered her thoughts, looked at the patient, silently sat in the center of the magic circle on the ground, and began to make hand seals and chant:
"Abundance, ..."

"With Queen Nuwa's grace, all things are reborn..."

Bursts of inexplicable Buddhist sounds were heard, and from time to time, petals flashed from the stones placed in the magic circle, making the stones colorful. Zhou Junjie, who was in a coma, unconsciously revealed a completely relaxed expression, as if he had returned to his mother's arms.

The second level of the physician path: “Witchcraft”!
The art of blessing, baptism of the body.

The young woman is praying...

Today, Xu Shu returned to the home where he had lived for more than ten years with his adoptive mother Li Guoying.

Originally, Li Guoying insisted on staying in the hospital to take care of the child, but Xu Shu persuaded her. After a long time of persuasion, she finally felt relieved and went home to rest. She was now fast asleep.

Xu Shu returned to his old room.

I haven't been home for two years, and everything is the same as yesterday.

This home has two bedrooms and a living room, and the area is only about 80 square meters, but it is filled with warm memories of family.

The small room is where the parents live, and the larger room is divided by a wooden board in the middle, with Xu Shu and his sister Zhou Shiyu each occupying half.

Lying on the bed he hadn't seen for a long time, his nose was filled with the crisp scent of insects on the quilt after a day of sun exposure. Xu Shu stretched his waist in extreme comfort.

"Once the reward arrives, I can open the trading area, hehe." He raised his hips in anticipation.

drop……

* Upgraded network
*Gu Pan (Taichu), first-level warrior

*Contributions: 8
-

"It hasn't arrived yet. It's almost 24 hours now, right?"

Xu Shu lay upside down, looked at the clock, and kicked the wall uncontrollably on the bed.

I started to feel a little uneasy.

"You can't accept the bounty either. This trading area insists on this Mirror of Reality contributing 20 points to the dead!"

"Luckily, I will soon get 100 points of reward for killing the Chosen One. It's from Liezhenzi, so I should be able to send it directly to my account...right?"

To be honest, they said the money would arrive within 24 hours, and now... it will arrive in five minutes.

Looking at the pitiful [Contribution: 8] in his account, Xu Shu began to have doubts.

Although it is a reward for the array, but...

You should know that before, to get contribution points by killing monsters in the wasteland, you just had to kill them. The array will directly add 1 or 2 contribution points to the monster according to its level, without any delay at all.

But now we have to wait.

There is no reason to return to the safe zone, which will increase the delay, right?

Moreover, the profession of the Chosen Ones is a certain type of demon called "Unclean Ones", which are themselves defined as a type of extraordinary beings. Killing them will not bring any contribution points.

For example, whether it was Yang Manman, the Impure One of Slaanesh, or Ao Yaoqi, the Combined One of Nurgle, they both only dropped curse crystals, which could increase combat performance like killing other Ascended Ones, but they had no contribution.

So, is it possible that the way contribution points are distributed for the array reward is different from the contribution points dropped from monsters?
In fact, Xu Shu had been thinking about this problem since the Astronomical Society failed to collect the bounty, but he was too strong inside to keep it to himself.

You see, a bounty is a reward, and a reward is also a reward. Is there a possibility...

"No, no, no, don't think like that. It's probably because 100 points is too insignificant for a formation, so it will take a long time before it's my turn, hehe..."

Xu Shu shook his head, his breathing gradually became steady, and he clenched his fists, like a student waiting for test results.

"Obviously, that must be the case..."

He comforted himself, his eyes following the movement of the second hand.

These five long minutes,
at last.

24 hours are up!

The underwear vibrated Ding Ding slightly.

Xu Shu's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath and looked at her calmly.

The contribution has not changed.

But there is one more friend request.

[Tip: Melanie is requesting to add you as a friend, and the other party left a message: Friend, please approve it. There is a problem with your account and the contribution point reward email cannot be sent. ]

"..."

“Ha, ha, ha, ha…”

His eyes suddenly lost their luster and he collapsed on the bed.

Worrying about gains and losses all day long.

Finally, I saw this message to add a friend.

Xu Shu's anxious heart finally settled down.

Damn you, how dare you bully me!
