Chapter 323: Chapter 195: The Little Girl Who Shocked Youqing Buddha to the Point of Breaking Defense? Loads of Divine Relics Acquired! (4K)_2
Wu Youqing had completely calmed down and softly spoke to the little girl others couldn't see.
"But... it's indeed possible."
"If you really are mine... even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, I shouldn't hastily get rid of you."
"..."
"Don't suddenly hug me... I'm not used to it."
"..."
"...That's him, even if I had... it's not possible..."
"..."
"The match is about to burn out... don't do this... it's not like I won't see you again after this..."
"..."
"Ah, really..."
In the complex sigh of Wu Youqing, the red and blue flames on the match gradually extinguished.
...
After leaving the library, Xue Jing went home and made dinner for Miao Miao, who had slept until dark.
After dinner, with nothing else to do, he sat in the living room and threw darts at the dartboard, accumulating [Aiming] experience.
Now, compared to before he started practicing martial arts, he was even better suited for throwing darts because he controlled his power extremely well. Each dart was thrown with just the right force, barely causing any damage to the dartboard.
And what he aimed at wasn't the bullseye in the center of the dartboard, but the tiny crevices on the dartboard that the naked eye couldn't see.
Each throw seemed ordinary, but the difficulty was ridiculously high. Hitting the tiny crevice could add more than 50 experience points in one throw.
Around eight in the evening, as he threw his last dart, a prompt appeared on his panel.
[Aiming advanced to Lv10 (37/?)]
Xue Jing exhaled and nodded.
Another skill had reached Lv10, the very influential [Aiming].
The static and dynamic vision enhancements from this skill greatly helped Xue Jing, not to mention the improved precision control over his actions.
Since activating this skill, Xue Jing had been in a state where he could hit whatever he pointed at, whether throwing stones or swinging a fist, almost without error.
He had unknowingly accomplished many great feats and could be said to have worked extremely hard.
"Fitness, Health Cultivation, Running, Charm Art, Aiming... now I have five Lv10 skills, and Combat Skills are nearly there too."
Xue Jing looked at the list of high-level regular skills on his panel, unable to help looking over it again and again, very pleased.
"Satisfying."
...
The next day at noon, as Xue Jing was instructing Zong Shichan in martial arts practice in the training room, he received a call from Void Blade.
He waved his hand, signaling the little girl to take a rest, then stepped out of the training room and answered the call.
"Hello?"
Void Blade's calm voice came through the receiver: "It's settled."
"Vice Minister Sui Xiuqing of logistics personally went to the Special Material Management Department, and she approved the transfer of the Divine Relic on the spot... "
"Now the process is complete, and the item should be in your hands tomorrow or the day after."
Xue Jing nodded at the news.
As expected of Youqing A Dream, her methods are strong and her efficiency high.
After a moment of thought, he asked, "How did the Zhu Family react?"
Void Blade said, "Nothing, Zhu Xuanli seemed to have known the outcome in advance and didn't go to the Special Material Department at all."
"I see..."
Xue Jing chatted with Void Blade for a few more minutes before hanging up.
"Finally, these four thousand Divine Substance is in my hands."
He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Ever since he acquired [True Martial], knowing that extraordinary skills also needed Divine Substance to upgrade, the importance of Divine Substance had significantly increased in his heart.
The four thousand Divine Substance would enable his current combat power to jump to another level.
Thus, he felt increasingly annoyed with the Zhu Family, who had tried to stop him from getting the Divine Substance."
"Although they say vengeance is a dish best served cold and ten years isn't too late, ten years is just too long, and I don't really want to be a gentleman... I should find an opportunity to give them a hard time first."
Xue Jing contemplated.
Though the Zhu Family was one of the Thirteen Great Families, a giant he currently couldn't afford to provoke."
But according to Youqing A Dream's words, as long as she was around, the Zhu Family wouldn't resort to direct martial force against him.
Then there was significant potential for action...
Thinking of this, Xue Jing returned to the training room and continued to instruct Zong Shichan in Martial Arts Practice.
Another day passed.
Around three in the afternoon, Xue Jing was sitting on the sofa in the living room with Miao Miao sleeping curled up on his thigh, while the TV was playing an animation named "The Thing That's Safe in My Heart".
As he was deeply engrossed in "My Heart's Safety", the doorbell suddenly rang.
Xue Jing's thoughts shifted, and his spiritual power activated, visualizing the scene outside the door in his mind.
Standing outside was Ning Yuantai, each of his hands carrying a metal case.
Seeing this, Xue Jing felt a surge of spirit, gently picked up Miao Miao from his lap, walked to his room, and placed her on the bed.
Then he went to the living room and opened the front door.
"Yuantai, why is it you delivering things again?" Xue Jing asked with a smile upon seeing Ning Yuantai.
Ning Yuantai first respectfully greeted Xue Jing, then walked in, saying,
"It was supposed to be someone from White Crow's side delivering... but I intercepted them when they reached the Qingcheng base."
He placed the two cases on the table, scratching his head:
"Mainly because I was worried about White Crow's folks being unreliable, just in case they lost something meant for you..."
Xue Jing stroked his chin, smiled, and teased, "I think you just wanted to take advantage of stopping by for a meal."
Ning Yuantai was slightly embarrassed, "...You totally see through me."
Xue Jing patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, you won't miss this meal; you can eat here tonight."
Ning Yuantai rubbed his hands together, gratefully saying, "Thank you so much!"
After speaking, he sat down on a chair, fiddled with the two metal cases on the table, and opened them all.
"Xue, these are the rewards from the agency for you..."
Xue Jing sat down on the sofa, looking up.
In the two cases, there were four items each.
In one case, there was an old ancient copper coin, a plastic bottle labeled 'Clean Freak's Treasure,' a golden crucible embroidered with strange patterns, and a pink eraser that looked one-third used up.
In the other case, there was a pair of beautiful jade earrings, a palm-sized white paper figure, a clump of straw, and something that looked like a digital watch.
"[GOD-652·Five Emperors Money][GOD-662·Clean Freak's Treasure][GOD-1399·Crucible of Cooking Happiness][GOD-1474
"[GOD-705·Beyond Suspicion][GOD-1408·Paper Man][GOD-1489·Straw Tycoon][GOD-771·Proof
Xue Jing, like counting treasures, recited the names of these Divine Relics one by one.
"I never expected to come across so many Divine Relics at once... it's like a dream."
He wiped the non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth, excitedly saying.
Ning Yuantai, seeing him behave quite unlike his usual composed and steady self, stared in disbelief and remarked,
"You really love Divine Relics, don't you, Xue."
Xue Jing didn't hear what he was saying; his thoughts were completely absorbed by the Divine Relics before him.
He reached out and picked up the old ancient coin.
[Divine Substance detected, absorbing Divinity...]
"[Five Emperors Money]... this item is said to be used for 'fortune telling' in the true sense... but it requires the user to have skills in易学 (I Ching)."
He then picked up the jade earrings from the other case.
[Divine Substance detected, absorbing Divinity...]
Xue Jing glanced at the panel, the rate of Divine climb suddenly accelerated, it seemed he could absorb Divinity from two Divine Relics simultaneously.
"[Beyond Suspicion]... as long as these earrings are worn on the left ear and right ear of two people, respectively, both can only tell the truth to each other, even misleading by using 'truthful lies' won't work, nor partially concealing, only pure and complete truths can be spoken."
"[Straw Tycoon]..."
Xue Jing recited the functions of the Divine Relics one by one while hugging all the relics close to his body.
Notifications from the panel sounded continuously, the value of Divinity was skyrocketing at an unprecedented rate.
[Divine Absorption complete]
[Divine Absorption complete]
[Divine Absorption...]
After the notifications for the absorption of Divinity from eight relics had popped up, Xue Jing looked at the panel again.
[Holding Divinity: 5137]!
