The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 766 Primary Selection of Priestess

In the middle of the night, the girl's painful groans and voices asking for water could be heard in the bedroom.

Jing Jiu was lying on the chair with his eyes closed, and was reading the collection of mathematics papers of the Academy of Sciences. He heard her voice and ignored it.

Of course, even if he didn't do anything at this time, he wouldn't take care of her.

He has never taken care of anyone in his life, except for Nan Wang who was too drunk and San Yue who was seriously injured, and he only wiped Bai Zao's face before he ascended.

Zhong Lizi staggered out the door, took a few gulps of water from the refrigerator, and then regained consciousness a bit, and said with some difficulty, "How could you be so drunk? Isn't it rice wine?"

Jing Jiu opened his eyes and said, "The alcohol content is three times that of beer."

Hearing this sentence, Zhong Lizi was very surprised and said, "Such a high degree? No wonder you get a headache."

While talking, she sat down on the chair, hugged the cushion, took up a large position, and squeezed his feet down.

Jing Jiu thought to himself, how could this child be more domineering than Layue?

"Hey! It suddenly occurred to me that I forgot to mention something important. You are the author of the novel. I have to make a statement."

"Um?"

"Xianyu will give a lot of money."

"I have money."

"Then you don't want the right to sign it?"

"If the author is me, will Xuan Yu help you get an exchange student place?"

Zhong Lizi hugged the cushion, looked him in the eyes and said, "Actually, I've been thinking, do you really need that exchange student quota, or maybe you want to attract the attention of some big people above and take you back, otherwise what are you writing novels for?"

"Why should I go up there?" Jing Jiu asked.

Zhong Lizi thought about the stories he had imagined these days, and asked nervously, "Because you want to take back what belongs to you, such as your family and company?"

Jing Jiu looked at her and said, "Don't read the novel, it will make you look stupid."

...

...

Most of the novels are really not nutritious, and you might become stupid if you read them non-stop every day.

What is really unnutritious is TV, only a fool will watch it every day.

These days, Jing Jiu never turned on the TV except during the time when the news was broadcast, but at this time the math research was interrupted by Zhong Lizi, and he didn't like to hear her make up novels, so he turned on the TV.

He thought in his heart that he was celebrating that he had solved all the physical problems that could be solved in this world.

The light curtain quickly became more stable, and the high-resolution picture was almost indistinguishable from reality, the only thing being that it was not three-dimensional.

A variety show was broadcast on TV, and it was held in a huge stadium. The black audience was like a mountain, like a sea, mesmerized and crazy.

Jing Jiu took a look and calculated that there were probably more than 116,000 spectators. He couldn't help being a little surprised.

Zhong Lizi came out of the toilet, looked at the picture on TV, and couldn't help exclaiming: "It's the primary election! I really drank too much! I actually forgot that today is the primary election day!"

There will be a priestess in each region and planetary base of the Galaxy Alliance.

The status of the priestess is extremely high, and it is said that she is responsible for inheriting the remains of ancient civilizations.

This year is the year for the star gate priestess to be re-elected. The so-called re-election actually means that the priestess is old and dying.

The new priestess will select three candidates from the entire planet, and finally be directly appointed by the previous priestess.

That grand ceremony is generally arranged in October and is called a water sacrifice.

There is no doubt that the selection of new priestesses is the most important event on this planet this year, and it has attracted the attention of countless people since the audition.

At this time, what was broadcast on the TV was a late-night rebroadcast of the primary election in a certain area of ​​the third-tier world.

Zhong Lizi pulled the cushion out from under his buttocks, hugged it in his arms, and said excitedly: "Exchange students will stay in Xingmen University for half a year, maybe we can watch the October Water Festival on the spot."

She suddenly thought of some questions, and said dejectedly, "But the tickets must be in high demand, where can we get them?"

The next moment, her eyes lit up again, she looked at Jing Jiu and said, "If Xuan Yu Company really uses your novel, we ask them for tickets, they should be able to help, right?"

In a short period of time, the girl's mood changed three times, possibly due to the relaxation brought about by alcohol, and the greater reason was the attraction of the October Water Festival.

Jing Jiu didn't care about the October Water Festival, but remembered something else, took out a pen and paper from under the coffee table, and wrote a word on the paper.

Zhong Lizi looked over curiously, and found that there was a word "month" under the words "year" and "robot" on the paper.

"What are you looking for? Don't say who I am..."

"What is a year? Why are there twelve months in a year? Why are there three hundred and sixty-five days in a year? Why are both sides similar, even though there are no months there?"

Hearing Jing Jiu's questions, Zhong Lizi was stunned, thinking that human civilization has been chronicled like this since its recovery, maybe it has something to do with ancient civilization?

Such complicated questions are really not suitable for her to think about after drinking. She shook her head, forgot these questions and the three words on the paper, and started to focus on watching TV.

...

...

The first item in the preliminary competition for priestess selection...is very old-fashioned, probably similar to elementary school knowledge competitions. The test questions do not involve any innovation, divergent thinking, and there is no requirement for IQ. The main thing is the reserve of literature and history knowledge.

Zhong Lizi stared at the light curtain, frowning whenever a question came up, searching for the answer in his mind, and then shouted the answer with clenched fists, or whispered the option unconfidently, or continued to frown. When the answer came out, she either jumped up happily, or said with regret that I knew it clearly, but why did I remember it wrong? Or look at Jing Jiu with a silly smile and say that he is studying science...

"I know this question!" Without waiting for Jing Jiu to give any response, she looked at the next question and shouted again: "It's the Pingmo Plateau, in the extreme north of the main star!"

Jing Jiu didn't care about her acting personality after drinking, but she was somewhat interested in the content of those exam questions. It may be because this is a selection for the priestess of the star gate. Many of those topics are about the history of this planet, and they are some very partial knowledge that ordinary people don't care much about.

Zhong Lizi suddenly thought of seeing seven test papers with full marks that day, and looked at him with some uncertainty and asked, "Do you know all these questions?"

Jing Jiu hummed.

...

...

The questions in the second round of assessment are much more difficult. It looks like a game, some require extremely precise operation ability, and some require extremely calm state of mind, but the real foundation is the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct space.

These topics have extremely high requirements on the IQ of the candidates, and to be precise, the degree of brain development.

Zhong Lizi opened his eyes wide, looking at the color blocks that kept spreading and recombining, looking at the hundreds of water glasses that seemed to be exactly the same, but couldn't find any clue after looking for a long time.

She is a competitive girl, knowing that those topics are beyond her ability, she still refuses to give up, and even holds her breath nervously.

But Jing Jiu felt that this was not as interesting as the first round, so he lay back on the chair, stretched his legs and let her sit farther away, then closed his eyes and started to study.

"You can do this too?" Zhong Lizi looked at his expression and said in disbelief.

Jing Jiu thought it was so simple, not to mention Tong Yan and Que Niang, even He Zhanlai could pass the level easily.

Zhong Lizi looked at his face and suddenly had a very ridiculous idea.

If he disguised himself as a young girl to participate in the selection of priestesses, he might really succeed in the end.

As for whether others can see it... who would doubt such a beautiful person?

One must know that it took her quite a while to get used to this face.

Jing Jiu continued to look at the collection of essays. Countless symbols and numbers floated in his field of vision, like snowflakes, reminding him of the room in Yinwang, and then of Shangde Peak. The hot pot at that time was better than the hot pot at Shenmo Peak later on, not because of Gu Qing's carelessness, but because his sense of taste was gone.

Humans in this world are weaker than those in Chaotian Continent, not because they are lazy or incompetent, but because the rules of the world are different.

The same is true of his current physical condition, his strength and the speed he can display are far less than before.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard a swear word, and subconsciously opened his eyes and looked over.

Zhong Lizi stood in front of the TV, staring at the host inside like an enemy, gritted his teeth and said, "Shadow!"

The primary election for this area of ​​the Three-Layer World has come to an end, and three candidates for the final final election have been selected. The girl she likes and supports the most has lost the election, so what else is there to say? Don't ask, it's shady if you ask.

Jing Jiu's eyes fell on the TV, and he found that the candidates were pretty good-looking, especially the one in the middle.

——In his eyes, he still thinks it is pretty good-looking, and it must be the ultimate beauty in human society.

Judging from the undulating voices of hundreds of thousands of viewers and the host's attention, the black-haired girl in the middle is indeed the most popular.
