Chapter 53: I have a task here
When Zhou Qi was brought in under the quilt, he was no longer as arrogant as when he first entered the city seven days ago.
Although he was still wearing student robes of good quality, there was a hint of gloom between his brows.
Shen Zhui could tell that it was very uncomfortable for him to stay in Sanxing Prison these days.
In Sanxing Prison, with the authority of Shen Zhui and the current five doctors, it is completely possible to know the details.
This is a prison specifically for cultivators, and in order to have a punitive effect, from the moment you enter the prison, your five senses will be closed to suppress your soul, making your cultivation completely useless, just like being locked up in a small dark room.
What's even more special is that he will make adjustments based on what the prisoner has committed and retaliate against him.
That is to say, no matter what reason the prisoner came in, he will suffer double the pain of the victim.
For Zhou Qi, these seven days were a constant cycle of experiencing the torture of being questioned using illusions.
If you can bear it, it will be a test of your will, but pain and torture are inevitable.
Under Zihe's urging, Zhou Qi bowed to Shen Zhui in accordance with the etiquette of meeting a superior official: "Shangzhao Zhou Qi, I want to pay my respects to the fifth official."
Shen Zhui said nothing and did not immediately let Zhou Qi get up.
Zhou Qi dared not make any mistakes at this time and could only wait quietly.
"Zixing, go down." Shen Zhui waved his hand.
"Yes, sir." Zihe quickly excused himself.
"You get up too."
"Thank you, sir." Zhou Qi stood up quickly, with a little doubt on his face. He didn't understand why he, a small second-level master, was summoned by the ninth-level fifth doctor.
After these few days of experience in the city, Zhou Qi also understood that the world of Daxia is very hierarchical. According to his conclusion, with his current official status, it is completely impossible to see the fifth doctor, and the public transportation is as high as the sky.
Seeing Shen Zhui looking at him with a smile, which seemed to be nothing bad, Zhou Qi had a thought in his mind: "Could it be that my fortune has changed, and these five doctors want to benefit me?"
Zhou Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he thought of this. It’s so damn hard! As one of the first batch to come in, and ended up in this situation because of a small mistake, who should I ask to reason?
But he never thought that the person sitting in front of him was not a local official from Shangqiu City, but a real adventurer!
Seeing the changing expression on Zhou Qi's face, Shen Zhui looked at it and then spoke.
"Shangzao Zhou Qi, you should have been reused, but due to a mistake, you accidentally injured the residents of Daxia. As a result, you are still just a small Shangzao. I want to ask you, have you regretted it?"
Hearing the meaning of Shen Zhui's words, it seemed that his future had improved. Zhou Qi said quickly: "Sir, my subordinate has repented day and night since he was sent to Sanxing Prison. He has deeply realized his mistakes. You should not ignore the law and hurt yourself." and others.”
"I heard that there are constant demons and bandits outside the city. Now I want to contribute to Shangqiu City to make up for past mistakes. Please give me a chance to redeem my past mistakes."
Shen Zhui smiled slightly, "Good guy, he is indeed a man who has read books after all. He is very good at climbing up the pole."
But this can't be blamed on him. Zhou Qi never received any good tasks before. Even if there were, they would only be small tasks worth three melons and two dates. A genius of the third level of supernatural power could only take on some tasks of killing the innate demon. It could be said that he had no place to use his energy.
"Oh? Have you regretted it?" Shen Zhui snorted coldly. "Then why did you challenge your superior after you were released from prison? You also wanted to take his title by force. Do you think the title is child's play!"
"This..." Zhou Qi's face changed slightly. He didn't expect the other party's attitude to change so quickly, but there was really nothing to say about this matter. Zhou Qi could only grit his teeth and lower his head and said, "It's my subordinate who is being reckless."
Shen Zhui rolled his eyes, and immediately returned to smiling, and walked down from his seat, "Zhou Shangzao, I value talents the most. It's a pity to be a small superior with your strength. No one can do it." How's it going?"
"You want to contribute to Shangqiu City and redeem your past mistakes. It shows that you have a good heart, but you just made a mistake. I have a task here, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."
Hearing this, Zhou Qi almost burst into tears and couldn't help but get excited.
Oh my god, things are finally turning around!
Seven days have passed. He heard that there are scholar-bureaucrats in Dongcheng who have been promoted to the fifth level. However, he came in seven days earlier, but he is still standing still. It is simply intolerable!
Now that he heard that he really had a task to do, how could Zhou Qi let it go?
He quickly raised his hands and said, "Subordinate, I am willing!"
"Very good." Shen Zhui showed his white teeth, patted Zhou Qi's shoulder and said with a smile:
"My subordinates need to create a batch of demon-killing weapons, but they lack a lot of 'rare and rare treasures'. If Zhou Shangzao can find what I need, it will be considered a great achievement of yours. What you presented to me" The more rare treasures you have, the greater your contribution will be!"
"Exotic treasure?" Zhou Qi was slightly stunned. After spending a few days in Shangqiu City, Zhou Qi naturally knew that the word rare treasure had a unique meaning here.
It refers to the treasures of the world.
"Is this what the Lord is talking about?" Zhou Qi took out a fourth-level primary magic weapon from the storage ring with some confusion, wanting to confirm.
"Hey, where did Zhou Shangzao find such a rare treasure?" Shen Zhui looked at him in surprise.
"..."
Zhou Qi was stunned. It took him a while to appreciate the meaning of this.
This is what feelings really mean!
Is this considered the local Zhenwen people asking for a bribe from themselves?
But when he thought about it, Zhou Qi felt that this was the taste of officialdom he knew.
But I quickly convinced myself.
In Gongcheng Mansion, he could exchange "rare treasures" for currency, equipment and elixirs for soldiers, but he could not exchange tasks or change the status quo.
"Now that this incident has occurred in the Fifth Doctor's Mansion, it should give me a chance to make up for what I did before and get me back on track." Zhou Qi thought secretly in his heart.
Shen Zhui also remained silent, quietly waiting for Zhou Qi to figure it out on his own.
He is not afraid that Zhou Qi will be able to see through his identity this time, because any adventurer who has done those monster-slaying missions with various situations will know how difficult it is to be promoted. Who would have thought that not long after it started, someone would reach the rank of ninth-level and fifth-level doctor?
Moreover, Shen Zhui's phaseless magic skill at this moment concealed his aura very well, and he was not afraid of being seen through at all.
Seeing Shen Zhui's smile slowly disappear, Zhou Qi quickly asked cautiously: "I wonder how many 'rare treasures' your Excellency needs?"
Shen Zhui continued to remain silent.
Zhou Qi suddenly understood, and immediately took out a fourth-level top-grade magic weapon from the storage ring.
Shen Zhui remained silent and stared into the distance, as if he was offline.
Zhou Qi gritted his teeth, and then took out a black block, which looked like iron but not iron, shimmering with a cold light, and there were faint spatial fluctuations on it, which was quite extraordinary.
Shen Zhui finally reacted, withdrew his gaze from the distance, glanced at the black iron, and said meaningfully:
"Zhou Shangzao, I know that there are many outsiders like you in Shangqiu City, and they all want to contribute their own strength to Shangqiu City."
"Nowadays, some people have reached the position of scholar-bureaucrat, but you are still a superior. As the saying goes, one step is slow, each step is slow..."
Zhou Qi's expression changed, he gritted his teeth, and took out a simple yellow and green ring from his arms. "Sir, this is the rarest treasure that my subordinates can find so far."
Shen Zhui knew it was almost done and couldn't do it too harshly at once. He immediately waved his hand calmly and pocketed all the treasures Zhou Qi had taken out.
He smiled and patted Zhou Qi's shoulder and said: "Not bad, not bad. Zhou Shangzao is indeed a young talent... Zixi, come in."
Zhou Qi watched with some reluctance as the things disappeared in front of him, but when he saw the public servant coming in, he immediately returned to his original state.
"Zhou Shangzao is young and promising. To be a Shangzao would be to detract from his talents. I intend to promote him to level four, and you must not embarrass him again. Do you understand?" Shen Zhui said calmly.
"This... is, sir." Zihe hesitated for a moment and nodded quickly.
Shen Zhui's current level can indeed promote and appoint scholar-bureaucrats below the fifth level.
If you are a scholar-bureaucrat or above, you need to be at the level of Zuo Shu Zhang to have this authority.
Of course, if it is to issue a task, it will not be included in this list. Anyone who is lower than Shen Zhui's official title can all be issued a task.
"Thank you, Doctor Five." A hint of joy appeared on Zhou Qi's face, as if the bad luck of the past few days was instantly diluted. He jumped from Shangzao to No. 1, but he jumped two levels in a row.
The point is, it seems that I will no longer be deliberately suppressed in the task level. This is the most important thing!
"Zhou Shangzao, oh no, Zhou Buchan, go down, I'm looking forward to your performance." Shen Zhui waved his hand with a smile.
"Thank you, Doctor Five." Zhou Qi said respectfully. At this moment, he actually felt grateful to a person who might be a false person.
Watching Zhou Qi leave, Shen Zhui couldn't help but sigh.
So rich! The fourth-level magic weapon casually took out two pieces. The top-grade fourth-level magic weapon material, star meteorite, weighed twenty kilograms in one hand. He even took out a fifth-level elementary topaz finger ring.
This topaz finger can automatically form a rainproof cover when encountering danger, which is enough to withstand a full blow from the original strong man. After using it once, it only takes half a month to naturally restore the charging state.
"One step is fast, each step is fast." Shen Zhui smiled slightly. "The official rank is higher than the people, so it can suppress those who come in later. This is the biggest advantage of entering the palace first."
In the past thirty days since entering, Shen Zhui has been constantly thinking about what he can do with his official title.
Is it a gold, silver, copper and iron knife coin? This thing will be useless after it leaves Daxia Cave Heaven, and Shen Zhui probably won't be able to take it with him.
True text talisman reward? It's barely enough, but compared with the effort, it's still a bit inconsistent.
That is to say, a pervert like Shen Zhui can easily perform the task of slaying demons, but if it were a slightly worse task, the tasks would still be very dangerous. In this way, the True Text Talisman Edict after promotion does not seem to be very generous, and it is far less straightforward than killing the True Text Fantasy Beast in the first level.
The top reward of this second level cannot be obtained by everyone. As the saying goes, where there are people, there is competition! Those who come in first can not only get closer to the highest reward faster, but can also suppress those who come later. This is the real advantage.
After playing with the things for a while, Shen Zhui put them away and sat on the chair again to think.
"According to the calculation of the task level, starting from the fifth-level scholar-bureaucrat, it corresponds to the first-level demon with supernatural power. Each time you go up to one level, you must have higher combat power to complete the task. For example, I became the ninth-level fifth-level doctor , the demon-slaying mission, the target’s combat power has reached the peak of the fourth level of magical power.”
"If we continue to calculate according to this, the right concubine chief at the tenth level and the left concubine chief at the eleventh level should be at the fifth to sixth level of supernatural powers."
"The right update at level 12, the middle update at level 13, and the left update at level 14 require at least high-level combat power to complete the mission."
"The eleventh level is a watershed. If you don't have the help of trump cards, it will be very difficult to complete the task based on your own strength. Even if you have reached the rank of officer, you have to wait for the soldiers under your command to grow in strength."
For an eleventh-level mission, you may have to kill the original strong man. If you don't have powerful magic weapon puppets or other trump cards, this alone will kill most of the adventurers.
Because it is difficult to complete the task alone based on its own strength.
Therefore, the strength of the soldiers under his command became the key.
With the passage of time and the use of swords, coins, and arsenals to strengthen the strength of the soldiers, groups of magical-level subordinates will become the main help in completing tasks.
At this point, Shen Zhui also roughly understood the content of the test in the Great Xia Academy.
First, in the early days of the Zhenwen Human Race, people relied on their own strength to obtain official positions. The higher the status, the greater the power, and the greater the benefits they obtained.
Second, improve the strength of soldiers in the middle and later stages, use the legion to complete tasks, and reach the official rank that seems impossible to achieve now.
When facing the final decisive battle three years later, the higher the official position, the stronger the soldiers under his command, which undoubtedly has a great advantage, and looking for the book www.zhaohhuyuan.com will also have a better chance of obtaining the final generous reward.
It might be a venerable-level calligraphy treasure, or it might be a magical power like the Holy Word of Medicine [Resurrection from the Dead], or even something more perverted.
"But it's still very early for the soldiers to be effective. It will take at least a year before the strength of the military and civilians in the city will generally reach a high level. In the early stage, you still have to rely on yourself." Shen Zhui thought to himself.
If you are facing monsters with high-level magical powers, a few hundred magical powers may not be able to do anything. It would have to be thousands, because there are likely to be more than one True Wen monster clan.
This leads to the fact that in the early stage, after the official rank reaches the eleventh level, the speed of promotion will enter a short-term stagnant state.
"However, I don't have this worry. Even now, I own a fighting king, a two-headed dragon eagle, four black and white guards, and a Ruyi warship..."
"I can definitely take advantage of it and reach a higher rank in a short period of time!"
Thinking of this, the plan in his mind took shape. Shen Zhui quickly left the fifth doctor's house and went straight to the residence of Dongcheng Young Master Yan Hui!
