Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Wang Family’s “Mediocre” Clan

Dongxia Middle Earth.

The divine capital of Luojing.

As the capital of the Dongxia Divine Dynasty, Luojing's prosperity is not only unique in the Dongxia Divine Dynasty, but also unique in the entire sanctuary.

I have searched the entire sanctuary several times, but I can't find another city that is so huge, so prosperous, and so powerful.

This is actually not surprising.

Because the Dongxia Divine Dynasty is the only unified dynasty among the four major divine continents, the divine continent is the divine dynasty, and the divine dynasty is the divine continent.

The other three major divine continents are all in a state of separatist power. There are no more than two Dao Master-level experts in a single power, and the territory occupied by a single power is no more than half of Dongxia's.

As the center of the entire Divine Continent, Luojing is naturally prosperous.

And Luojing, which is so prosperous, has an extremely developed economy.

The Ji family of the ancient god clan, as a family with a long history and a history of more than a million years, its family industry is naturally extremely complex and huge, involving all aspects of life. Among them, the military weapon refining industry is one of the pillar industries that the Ji family relies on for survival. .

A remote suburb of Beicheng District, Luojing.

There is a workshop here named [Xingwang Workshop] under Ji's name. Although it bears the name of Ji's Workshop, it is actually just an ordinary weapon-refining workshop run by a branch of the Ji's clan.

This workshop is protected by the Ji family and also undertakes a small number of Ji family's military weapon refining orders. Although most of the profits are eaten up by the Ji family, through "refined management", "reasonable tax avoidance" and other means, I can still live a good life. now.

Inside Xingwang Workshop.

The sky has turned dark, and Ximen Yaoqing has just finished the day's work of refining the weapon.

He dragged his tired body out of his work clothes for refining, took out his [Wang's Communication Watch Standard Edition] from the closet, put it on, and immediately excitedly clicked on a familiar avatar to send a voice message.

"Tui'er, I used my watch to reserve two tickets for the big photo shoot of "Rise of the Mighty Warriors 2". I'll wait for you at the same place in the evening and go to watch the big photo shoot after dinner."

The so-called standard watch is actually an entry-level basic watch marketed by Wang to the common people. It is cheap and has low basic communication costs.

It is precisely because of this that Wang's communication watches have become completely popular in Luojing. After more than ten years, it has almost reached the point where there is almost one watch per capita. You must know that although Luo Jing has a high-ranking God Emperor and top family bosses, there are still hundreds of millions of ordinary people. Many of them are from other holy palaces in China, and even [Luo Jing Piao] who came from overseas to make a living in Luo Jing. They harbor dreams, hoping to gain a foothold in Luojing, settle down, reproduce, and eventually become a true Luojing person.

Ximen Yaoqing waited for a while, but did not see Cui'er's reply. Instead, he received a group message from his immediate supervisor: "Don't be too busy leaving today. We have to stay for an important meeting tonight and learn to understand the spirit of the speech of the head of the Ji family. , recite the patriarch’s sayings, Mr. Ji’s noble son will come down for inspection in a few days.”

I have an important meeting tonight.

Ximen Yaoqing's face turned dark and he almost smashed his watch.

Can't we have a meeting at work? I have to work overtime and have meetings every time! If the supervisor were in front of him right now, he really wanted to slap him in the face. It's a pity that no matter how much dissatisfaction and resentment there are, looking at his colleagues in the group sending and receiving messages one by one, Ximen Yaoqing still honestly said "Received".

There is no way, there are too many talents in Luojing and the competition is too fierce. It is really not easy to survive here.

In fact, Ximen Yaoqing also came from a fairly good family in a remote countryside of the Immortal Dynasty. The family had land, industry, and the inheritance of magical powers.

As for Ximen Yaoqing, he is already a monk in the heavenly realm at a young age, and he has learned the art of refining weapons well. If he stays in the family, it will not be a problem to become the elder of the Zifu of the family in the future.

But he was not willing to live in such mediocrity for the rest of his life, so he did not hesitate to cross the ocean and come to Luojing to develop.

He thought that with his excellent weapon refining skills, he could make a name for himself in Luojing. But reality gave him a hard slap in the face.

Luo Jing collects the best from all over the world

He was quite dazzling in a small place with a gathering of heroes. As soon as he arrived in Luojing where there was a gathering of heroes, he immediately became so ordinary and ordinary. After being hit by setbacks one after another, Ximen Yaoqing finally found his own place, found a day-to-day job in a weapon-refining workshop, and fell in love with a girlfriend who was also Luo Jingpiao.

He hopes that through his own efforts, his life will gradually get better. First save money to buy the cheapest house in the northern suburbs of the city, live a down-to-earth life with Cui'er, and then create better conditions for the child so that he can truly gain a foothold in Luo Jing in the future and become a real Luo Jing. people.

It is this dream that makes him work hard and desperately every day. He also does not forget to study the refining technology and production technology after work.

But just when Ximen Yaoqing received the reply, the supervisor directly spoke to the work group

Li scolded: "Ximen Yaoqing, did you send any technical plan for improving the weapon refining to the second workshop leader?"

"I just think there are problems with the current production process and some technologies..." Ximen Yaoqing said in protest.

These words instantly ignited the supervisor's anger. He cursed in front of everyone in the work group, saying things like "If you are not very capable, you are very clever", "Why don't you go to heaven if you are capable", "If you don't want to work hard" Just get out of here" and so on.

Ximen Yaoqing's face turned red. He wanted to scold him several times, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

In the following study meeting, the supervisor did not look down upon Ximen Yaoqing and even used him as a role model to scare other colleagues.

After finally staying up until the meeting was over, he hurriedly left the workshop and checked the information in his watch, only to find that he had never received a reply from Tweety.

No, something happened to Cui Er?

He hurriedly dialed the voice call, but within a few rings, the person on the other end hung up, dialed again, and hung up again!

Ximen Yaoqing's heart gradually began to feel cold.

He didn't give up, and sent several caring messages one after another, and then waited impatiently.

After a full stick of incense, Cui'er finally wrote him a reply: "I'm taking a shower, I didn't see the message, I'm too tired today and don't want to go out again." 2

Ximen Yaoqing's heart grew colder and colder, but he still didn't give up. He went directly to Cui'er's rental house to look for her, but found that she was not at home.

The neighbor "kindly" told him that Tweety got into a luxury aircraft this evening.

Ximen Yaoqing went back to his rental house and practiced all night.

He understood that it was time to wake up from his Luo Jing dream.

He decided to go to the center of Luojing to see the [Dingyun Palace] where the legendary God Emperor lived.

He has been in Luojing for decades, but he has never seen Dingyun Shrine up close. He turned off his watch, took out his savings and took the public train in Luojing City. It took him half a month to reach the center of Luojing.

Above the clouds, looking at the majestic Dingyun Temple suspended in the clouds, Ximen Yaoqing was shocked and speechless for a long time.

He knew it was time to say goodbye and return to the fairyland where he was born and raised.

But at this moment, he saw a recruitment advertisement played on a giant crystal screen in front of an old shop on the street.

Dongxia Military Industry Group has been officially established and is now recruiting qualified candidates for the following positions. Call the recruitment communication number

Dongxia Military Industry Group?

Ximen Yaoqing's heart trembled.

Is it the one that has been making a lot of noise recently, the military-industrial group jointly established by the Shenwu Wang family and the imperial court?

He is no stranger to the Shenwu Wang family. In recent decades, the Shenwu Wang family can be said to be very popular in Luojing, and its reputation is almost as good as that of the ancient saints. It is said that even the God Emperor has praised the Shenwu Wang family several times for the communication wristband on his hand. The watch is Wang's masterpiece.

It's a pity that he had to save money and was only willing to buy the standard version for himself, but bought the deluxe version for Tweety, but he didn't expect

Alas~

He was melancholy in his heart, his eyes casually glanced at the conditions for recruiting weapon refiners, and then he was stunned.

This condition actually meets the qualifications of the weapon refiner in the recruitment position? He stood there blankly for a long time, hesitating.

After a long time, I finally decided to give myself one last chance.

If he successfully applies for the job, he will stay. If not, it will not be too late to leave Luojing.

He dialed the application communication and immediately obtained the application reservation number and interview location.

A few days later.

Ximen Yaoqing walked into the most luxurious restaurant in Luojing, [Yingxian Tower], with anxiety.

He heard that those who were qualified to reserve a meal here must at least be a true fairyland monk, or a core member of an ancient family.

In fact, even the maids or waiters responsible for serving food and tea here are at least in the Zifu realm who maintain a young appearance.

As a mere cultivator in the Heavenly Realm, if there is no accident, he will never be able to step into the Drunk Immortal Tower in this life. Let alone have a meal here, even a sip of tea will make him bankrupt.

After Ximen Yaoqing expressed his intention to come, a beautiful maid led him to the side hall to wait for the interview.

In this side hall alone, there are already dozens of interviewers waiting, and they all look very confident.

There was a buffet in the side hall, which included some of the best spiritual fruits and spiritual pastries. The maid told him that he could eat as much as he wanted for free, but Ximen Yaoqing sat silently waiting.

Not long after, several people walked into the side hall, led by a young woman.

The dress on her body is not like that of ordinary ladies from aristocratic families, with rich embroidery and gold and jade.

Although the fabric is very expensive, it looks quite formal and capable. He also wears a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, which makes him look very intellectual.

She walked steadily, every step she took was firm and powerful, and every move she made seemed to exude strong confidence.

Behind her were two middle-aged men in official imperial uniforms, obviously officials from the central government.

However, they were very polite to the young woman and said, "Miss Ke Ying, please come here."

Obviously, the woman named "Ke Ying" is the leader among them. "Welcome all heroes to come to the recruitment party." The woman walked up to the crowd, smiled and spoke in a confident and calm tone, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Keying, and I am responsible for hosting this recruitment party No. 379. .These two leaders are supervisors appointed by the imperial court to ensure the fairness of this recruitment meeting. Without further ado, let’s officially enter the application process.”

After saying that, she led the people into the box and started applying one by one. At this time, Ximen Yaoqing understood from the whispers of others that Wang Keying was one of the elite members of the Shenwu Wang clan.

It is said that she has already become a monk in the Purple Mansion Realm when she is only one hundred thirty or forty years old.

As we all know, the higher the bloodline qualification, the faster the cultivation speed. With her cultivation speed, she will definitely not be able to escape the Lingxu realm in the future. If given the chance, she will have a chance to become a true immortal.

It is said that there are many elites of the younger generation in the Shenwu Wang family who come with their elders to support the development of the family. Miss Wang Keying is one of them.

Ximen Yaoqing felt envious after hearing these words.

She is truly worthy of being a rich lady from a wealthy family. Once she debuts, she is the pinnacle that ordinary people like them have to look up to throughout their lives.

"You mentioned before that you had technical differences with your leader. You submitted a small plan for optimizing weapon refining, but the other party didn't agree with it. Can you elaborate?" Wang Keying asked seriously.

"This..." Ximen Yaoqing hesitated for a while, then finally started to explain, and handed the small plan to Wang Keying.

Wang Keying's eyes lit up slightly when she saw this plan.

Although the Wang family has already had similar plans for production, from the fact that Ximen Yaoqing can think of these, it can be seen that he still has his own ideas when it comes to weapon refining, and he is also a person who is brave in innovation and exploration.

"Your basics are good, but you haven't gone through professional systematic study. If you want to join the Dongxia Military Industrial Group's weapon refiner position, we need to start a three-year training for you."

Wang Keying considered it and said, "But in order to ensure your livelihood, our Wang family will provide a basic salary subsidy during the training period. Based on your position and conditions, you will receive a subsidy of 150 spirit stones per year during the training period, and free room and board."

"Once you pass the assessment and officially start your job, your basic salary will be three hundred and fifty spirit stones, two months of flexible vacation per year, one month of off-the-job training, overtime subsidies for overtime work, free food and accommodation, and transportation subsidies. If you have improved technology, For meritorious performance such as optimizing processes, there will be additional bonuses and the possibility of promotion. The specific terms are here, Mr. Ximen can take a closer look."

How much?

Ximen Yaoqing was shocked.

Is there a 150 spirit stone subsidy during the training period? There are three hundred and fifty spirit stones for officially taking up the post? Are there also various holidays, subsidies, etc. with clear terms?

You know, now that he is in Ji's Xingwang Workshop, his total income in a year is only a hundred spirit stones, and that does not include food and accommodation! And Luo Jing's survival pressure is extremely high. Even in the suburbs, accommodation and food expenses are expensive, so his life is tight.

If the salary can really be that high, wouldn't his life be better in the future?

Ximen Yaoqing was still in a daze until he signed the contract and walked out of the interview room.

He lingered at the entrance of Zuixian Tower for a long time and never left, feeling as if he was in a dream.

Is Miss Wang Keying the goddess sent by God to save him?

"Eh? Isn't that workshop colleague Dugu Xingchen?"

Soon, Ximen Yaoqing noticed that he was not the only one applying for a new job in Xingwang Workshop.

Dugu Xincheng was stunned when he saw him, but did not come over to say hello to him. He just nodded to him and left quickly.

Ximen Yaoqing stared at his back for a while, and then became dazed again.

At this time, a figure walked out from the Yingxian Building behind him. It turned out to be Wang Keying who came out to take a breath during the intermission during the interview.

Noticing Ximen Yaoqing standing at the door, she took the initiative to say hello: "Master Ximen, are you okay?"

"Ke, Miss Ke Ying." Ximen Yaoqing's face turned red with embarrassment and he didn't dare to look at Wang Keying. "I just can't believe that I can pass the interview. I'm still a little dazed."

"I feel you have great potential. Work hard in the future and don't betray my trust." Wang Keying encouraged him with a smile. "As the interviewer, I made the decision to hire you. If you don't perform well later, you will be implicated in deducting points." of."

"Ah, well, I will definitely not involve Miss Keying." Ximen Yaoqing was startled and hurriedly expressed his stance solemnly.

After a pause, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that a high-ranking young lady like Miss Keying would be so approachable."

He couldn't help but recall the appearance of the so-called noble master of the Ji family when he came to the workshop for inspection, causing the entire workshop to hold meetings all night to study. And that so-called "noble young master" seems to be more than a step behind Miss Ke Ying.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a eldest lady." Wang Keying smiled and waved her hands, "I am just an ordinary girl from our Shenwu Wang family."

Ordinary straight people?

Ximen Yaoqing's face showed astonishment and he shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible! Even in an ancient divine clan like the Ji family, people like Miss Keying are definitely the best among the younger generation."

Wang Keying smiled helplessly.

Misunderstandings like this happen every day. Although she did work hard, when she graduated from the higher ethnic studies class, her overall ranking was only 2nd. She admitted that she was a young elite tribesman, but if she wanted to be the best, she would not be the best. Feeling blushing.

There are people graduating from higher ethnic studies every year. There are many people like her, but they are not the best.

However, this time, when her family wanted to come to Luojing for development, she signed up immediately, just to get more opportunities and give herself more room for development. However, there are many young tribesmen who have the same intention as her, and they still have to roll up when they get to Luojing.

The two were chatting when suddenly another group of people walked out from the door of Yingxian Tower.

It turned out that Wang Ningxi had just met a holy king of the Xuanyuan clan in the Yingxian Tower and was sending people out at this moment.

After the holy king was sent away, he prepared to board a flying chariot accompanied by his family general.

Seeing this, Wang Keying hurriedly apologized to Ximen Yaoqing, then followed him a few steps and respectfully shouted sweetly: "Ancestor Ning Xi."

Wang Ningxi paused and looked at Wang Keying. She felt that this girl looked familiar, but she couldn't pronounce her name.

In order to avoid Wang Ningxi's embarrassment, Wang Keying hurriedly stepped forward and explained respectfully: "Ancestor Ning Xi, my name is Wang Keying, and I am a child of the 'Ke' generation of the sixth ancestor." "Oh, I am Keying from the ancestral family of the sixth uncle Shoulian. Wang Ningxi looked "awed", then looked at her kindly and said with a smile, "I remember you, your work in Luojing has been going well recently, right?"

The Wang family now has a large number of members, and there are many outstanding young people. There are thousands of young people coming to Luojing to support them this time, and they are all dispersed in various positions under layers of management. Without Wang Ningxi’s management, it is naturally impossible to recognize them all.

"Thank you, Ancestor Ning Xi, for your concern. Everything went smoothly, but it was also quite challenging." Wang Keying said respectfully, "Now I am mainly doing the recruitment work for Dongxia Military Industrial Group."

"Very good, start from the bottom and work hard and accumulate experience. I believe you can do it." Wang Ningxi encouraged him a few words and then said, "I have made an appointment with you, the Seventh Patriarch of Shouye, to leave now. After I'm done with this, I'll treat you, the young pillars of the family, to dinner."

"Thank you, Ancestor Ning Xi, for your encouragement. Goodbye, Ancestor Ning Xi."

Wang Keying stood there, respectfully watching Wang Ningxi's chariot leave. It wasn't until Wang Ningxi's flying chariot was completely out of sight that she looked away, with a touch of excitement on her face. She couldn't help but murmur, "I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to come out for a breather and meet Patriarch Ning Xi. I have to send a message to the circle of friends. Ximen Yaoqing on the side looked messy in a gust of wind.

Looking at this posture, it seems that Miss Keying is really not the proud daughter of the Shenwu Wang family. This is simply outrageous. What kind of terrible family is the Wang family?

Half a day later.

The branch purchased by Wang's Alchemy Directorate in Luojing is in the study room in the backyard.

Wearing a green robe, the elegant "Seventh Ancestor of the Wang Family" Wang Shouye looked at the two women in front of him with a complicated expression.

Of these two people, one is Dongfang Lingrou, who has been quietly following his development and has gradually become his most trusted right-hand man, and the other is the emperor Luo Jia, who is dressed in gorgeous clothes, is domineering and majestic, and has a fairy-like temperament. .

No, to be precise, Luojia is now the empress of Zhou. She should be called [Emperor Luojia] or [Empress Luojia].

Because it has always spared no effort to follow the pace of the Wang family and cling to the Wang family's thighs in industry, the Great Zhou Empire in the Shenwu world has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and its strength is not what it used to be.

This time, taking advantage of the momentum of Shenwu World's development towards the Holy Land, Dazhou also took advantage of the trend to expand its industrial territory to the Holy Land, and accumulated its own True Immortal capital early on.

Under her leadership, Dazhou will become an immortal dynasty sooner or later.

It's a pity that Empress Luojia's greatest wish is not to be the empress of the Immortal Dynasty. If it weren't for responsibility, she actually wouldn't even want to be the empress.

She was even jealous of Dongfang Lingrou, because Dongfang Lingrou could silently stay by Shouye's side no matter when and where.

Dongfang Lingrou was also somewhat hostile and resistant to Luo Jia, as if she was not willing to find opportunities to get close to Senior Shou Ye.

In Dongfang Lingrou's view, the Empress Luojia followed her to Luojing this time and said she wanted to invest and develop in Luojing. Those were all excuses. Her real purpose was just to save her business. The senior has evil intentions and wants to do something shameless while the emperor is far away.

Both women were silent.

The atmosphere in the study gradually became weird.

Wang Shouye looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

I, Wang Shouye, just want to practice elixirs quietly in this life and repay my family's merits. Why is it so difficult?

Just as he was thinking hard about how to break the deadlock, Wang Ningxi entered the study under the leadership of his family general.

A glimpse of the scene in the study room

, Wang Ningxi's steps stagnated, and she immediately raised her hands and said: "Ancestor Shouye, it seems that I came at the wrong time."

As he said that, he immediately wanted to exit the study and run away.

He was not able to interfere with the elders' private lives.

"No, you came at the right time." When Wang Shouye saw him, he immediately felt as if he had seen a savior and quickly kept him there. "Ning Xi, I have something important to discuss with you." "Master Ning Xi, drink up." Tea." Dongfang Lingrou smiled gently and poured some good tea for Ning Xi.

On the other side, Empress Luojia seemed not to be outdone, and poured tea for Ning Xi with a smile: "Master Ning Xi, I will go to your place for tea in two days, so I won't disturb you today."

With that said, the two women looked at each other in the distance and then left the study, leaving the men a private space to talk.

"Tsk tsk!"

Wang Ningxi looked at the two cups of tea in front of her, one on the left and one on the right, and couldn't help laughing and joking: "The ancestor of Shouye is really very lucky. No matter where he goes, he has a confidante accompanying him."

Wang Fugui set out for the World-Destroying Demonic Realm. In recent years, Wang Ningxi and Wang Shouye have been in charge of the main affairs of the Wang family in Luojing. The two of them often come and go, and their relationship has long been very familiar, so their conversation is natural. No worries.

"No matter how big or small, even the ancestors dare to tease me." Wang Shouye knocked Ning Xi's head angrily and said helplessly, "It's too difficult for me. Fourth brother insists that I come to Luojing to take charge of the overall situation. You You also know that I am really not good at dealing with people. Sigh~~ I really miss the days when I was quietly learning alchemy in Changning Acropolis." In a daze, Wang Shouye seemed to have the scene from that year reappearing in front of his eyes.

He even remembered the decorations in the room when he was still learning alchemy in the alchemy workshop, and his excitement when he practiced over and over again and finally increased the rate of refining Xiao Pei Yuan Dan to a stable six pills.

Back then, the Wang family was from a small ninth-grade family, and he was just a small alchemy apprentice. He relied on his in-law relationship to learn the art of alchemy. At that time, he never imagined that in just over a thousand years, the Wang family would be able to reach this stage today.

Looking back, I feel really sad.
