Chapter 349 Key
The two worlds are different, there is no moment when Lu Pingan is more sure of this reality than now.
"The divergence, apart from the supernatural pollution that existed from the very beginning, the more important thing is the great call from fifty years ago."
There was a fundamental divergence in the timeline at that moment. Too many supernatural events distorted the actual power ratio between "official" and "civilian". The major human kingdoms in the world have fallen into a helpless time period of muddling along.
When the central government loses its absolute authority and power, and when the local governments need to rely on themselves to cope with the swarming crises, a large-scale local protectionism and local self-reliance will naturally appear in various districts and regions.
The world and perspective of ordinary people are relatively relaxed. They still follow the inertia of the past world, but it is a little strange. Recently, there is less and less news outside the city and the country, and more people pay attention to the one-acre three-point land in front of them.
And the more you go up, the stronger you are, the bigger the city, and the more you understand this sad and helpless reality.
They have not lost their ideals, but are pursuing more realistic things for a more realistic "survival pressure".
A ticket to the Ark? A path to higher levels of forbidden knowledge? Weapons and consumable resources as immediate combat power?
As the situation worsened, those churches of the gods who already had large ships had countless human resources to volunteer without even needing to recruit them.
The premise of an orderly society is that most members of society trust in the stability of order, and believe that everything will be as usual after waking up tomorrow.
During an avalanche, every snowflake will prioritize its own survival.
What the mercenary Su Zhizhu did was to expose the false "peace" in front of him, and let Lu Pingan see the truth of the world more clearly.
"Fifty years? Chris, what do you mean, is the situation going to deteriorate further? Or is it possible that the entire Eastern Kingdom will fall into disintegration and civil strife?"
Leo, the more convincing possibilities are revealed directly.
"Now, is there any difference from the civil strife? In many areas, especially the areas where the headquarters of the major churches are located, their words are more useful than the central government. The grassroots officials and garrison officers are all their people. What is the difference from de facto independence?"
Chris just revealed the truth very calmly.
"The ancient city is relatively stable and conservative, but in the eyes of many forces, it lacks the value of competition"
She had seen this scene happen fifty years ago, it was the doomsday future that had happened in countless worlds.
The "thick glass" cannot withstand the erosion of "water pressure", and large cracks appear from the inside. It is a matter of course that it will be broken into pieces first, and it is not impossible to blow it up directly.
Being able to survive until today is already a bit surprising.
"It's time to speed up."
Calm words are Lu Ping'an's determination, his time is limited, or, this peaceful and peaceful day will be even more limited.
fifty years? Perhaps, it is also the optimistic judgment of the big cat.
When the social order really collapses, what will happen is completely unpredictable.
The transaction with the two mercenaries was also quite smooth. What Lu Pingan brought out far exceeded their expectations, and they even vaguely noticed that there might even be a boat ticket behind this "trading place"!
Lu Pingan didn't admit or deny the tentative words, and he didn't even admit that he was the master behind the transaction.
Now the two sides are still in the running-in period, and they need more information to be sure. But what Lu Pingan has presented now is enough for the two to accept his employment for a long time.
In the midst of bad news, Lu Pingan also had good news.
".Is this the driver? It's really different from what I imagined."
Su Zhizhu is a profession of inheritance. Inheritance means "legacy of the strong", and it is often a unique way of forming multiple professional abilities. However, her family's way of inheritance is centered on "the master".
At the fourth level, she has actually embarked on her own family's unique path, but her "driver" knowledge as an enlightenment is completely different from the general version of the university.
"Ordinary drivers start with 'use'. Drivers who play with cars will first practice their posture to a very high level, and then try to upgrade 'driving' to 'control'. And my family's inheritance, a It starts with taking control"
Under normal circumstances, a driver is a profession that needs a period of time to take office.
You have to choose a driving object first, and then "get along well" with it, and even achieve complete control. If you are playing with cars, you must be at the level of a super driver. If you are playing with swords, you must be at least a good swordsman.
Lu Pingan said before that "the driver" was not done in a short period of time, but he was talking about the regular job of the driver.
Upgrading "use" to "control" requires a lot of time and practice, and Lu Pingan originally planned to grind it slowly.
But the successors of the Su family are more straightforward.
"As long as you can completely control it, you can become a driver."
What was placed in front of Lu Pingan was a piece of crimson thin paper, even if he didn't use Spirit Vision, Lu Pingan could still feel the strong pollution in it.
【Su Zhizhu's blood (black iron inferior curse)】
[Before, it was just an ordinary piece of origami, but now, it is a real taboo item. 】
【Control it, or be controlled by it】
This time, the prompt given by the system is a little different from before.
"Your blood?" Lu Pingan patted lightly, revealing the reality that he is a high-standard rule-level ability user.
"It's just paper stained with my blood. The blood of our family is the inheritance."
This piece of paper alone, together with the taboo knowledge passed down from the family provided by Su Zhizhu, replaced Lu Pingan's more than 70 life points. This is approved by the Life Bank, which means it is worth the price.
Under normal circumstances, the inaugural driver needs half a year of pre-employment training, and must select the object of "control" in advance.
Because its routine inauguration, is to "show martial arts before the gods", displaying your superhuman mastery skills, and this one.
"Just touch it, not be controlled by it, or even use it to fold anything, and you can succeed in taking office? This is too simple."
"In the final analysis, the inauguration ceremony is actually borrowing divine power to give you a 'regularized' seed, an intersection leading to a higher level. Since the 'divine power' is provided by our own people, it is normal for the ceremony to be simpler."
Su Zhizhu shrugged, she had already touched some of the background on the opposite side.
It seems that he is probably the lucky one who grew up locally. He still lacks enough understanding of many "common sense" outside, and he has asked a lot these days.
At this moment, Lu Pingan suddenly realized that the "professional knowledge" commonly used by the outside world is only the most convenient to promote.
Various forces may have better and more direct things in their hands, such as secret channels, strange advanced rituals, etc., and these are impossible to spread to the public.
Originally, the textbooks made public to the outside world were only Level 0 and Level 1, which were the simplest and original versions. To advance to a higher level, one had to enter a teaching institution like Gucheng University. The materials and knowledge they could provide were also "universal" version".
The regular professional training time, maybe the corresponding gods plus resources, hidden rituals, and the blessings of the gods’ privileges can be shortened by half or even less. Can gods have an attitude towards themselves and outsiders?
The simplest example is actually Lu Ping'an's palm gardener. The difficulty of the inauguration ceremony (art test) is actually far lower than that of a normal "bonsai designer".
Going to the extreme, many professionals are stuck with a core ability, and at this time, if a certain god uses "divine favor" or "sacrifice ceremony" to bless you with one, then, why don't you go directly to it? Yet?
The piece of paper in front of him is the "privilege key" of the Su family. It is enough to get a job without choosing the "control target" in advance, which has already made Lu Pingan very excited, not to mention the huge amount of time saved.
And Lu Pingan didn't rush to use it because.
[Note 1: If it is successfully used as a driver, some of the pollution will be sent to the user for a period of time, and it may be perceived by the creator at close range. Note 2: The pollution will last for about three to seven days depending on the intensity of the user. 】
This person still has this piece of paper, and sure enough, he has a back trick.
If she just uses it like this, she will probably walk around the secret service team in the next moment to find herself out.
"...Heh, I went back to the secret realm of Gucheng University to use it, but I still hid in my own half-plane and couldn't come out. If you have the ability, just lurk in."
