The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 767: The Giant Whale Leaping Out of the Sea

The underground block can never see the real morning light, and can only tell itself that the morning is coming through the sound of the alarm clock.

In such an environment, it is extremely hard to imagine that people on the entire planet can maintain almost the same biological clock and social order.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

The alarm clock kept ringing on the cabinet, which felt like a chicken crowing in the middle of the night.

The big yellow cat in the photo is staring at the black eyes, looking at the alarm clock that keeps beeping, probably wondering where you are hiding?

Jing Jiu and Zhong Lizi opened the door at the same time and walked out. Zhong Lizi called out "Morning", Jing Jiu said yes. Then, as in the past many days, Zhong Lizi began to wash, take medicine, take breakfast, and make tea. Jing Jiu piled up a few cushions and leaned back on the chair to watch the news.

If you don't look at the ages shown on their faces, if it's not that Jing Jiu never eats breakfast, they really look like a couple who have been married for more than ten years.

But something is different today after all.

Zhong Lizi is about to leave this dark neighborhood, go to the distant and high second-level world, and go to Stargate University for advanced studies.

She will not return to this apartment building for at least half a year in the future.

"Are you sure you will walk with me, right?" She took a sip of black tea and said calmly with the hot mist to hide the expectation on her face.

Jing Jiu watched the news about the internal dispatch of the Yuan Star Field Fleet on TV, hummed, and added, "I've arranged to go find you."

Zhong Lizi was a little disappointed, but thinking that they would meet again in a short time, it was 33,000 times better than parting at this point, and he became happy again.

"Then I'll hang up the lease today."

Although it is an underground block far away from the bustling and blue sky, the government's management is still effective, and there are special departments responsible for entrusting rental and collecting rent.

Since she was going away for six months, of course she thought about renting out the apartment to earn some money.

"No." Jing Jiu objected without hesitation.

He couldn't accept another man living in this house, and he was even more uncomfortable thinking about that man leaning on his chair.

At the beginning, he clearly calculated that Gu Qing might leave, but he still refused to give the head to Zhuo Rusui, that's the reason.

Zhong Lizi thought to himself how much less money would he earn?

Just as she was about to blurt out the sentence "You make it up for me", she suddenly thought of his temperament and that he had helped her so much, so she shut up quickly.

"I'll make it up for you." Jing Jiu didn't know what she was thinking, and said, "Two gold coins."

Zhong Lizi was not willing to accept it, and said: "Your lease has not yet expired, and I still want to refund your money. What do you pay for it?"

Jing Jiu said, "You don't need to refund, there are many places where you need to spend money when you go out."

This is still the experience he and Zhao Layue gained from traveling around the world. Whether it's staying in the Tianzi No. A room of the inn, or going to the auction house to compete with others, whether it's eating the best seafood hotpot, or renting the most comfortable carriage, it all requires money. This is not over yet, he continued: "I transferred some credit points to you."

These credits were transferred from the account of the owner of the game hall. I believe that no one in the entire Galaxy Alliance can find out where the money is going. The reason why he still chose the owner of the game hall was not because he had already discovered that the source of the money was not clean, nor was it because he felt that the boss had a bad temper, it was just a habit.

I'm already familiar with the owner of the game hall, so why change to someone else?

Just like the Qingshan sect, whether it is Daoist Taiping, Liu Ci or Gu Qing, when they leave Chaotian Continent to go to sea, they are always used to go to Penglai Island to pick up a treasure ship.

Is this really like what Gu Qing said, is he intentionally owed the Treasure Ship King a favor?

Maybe he thought so, but Daoist Taiping, Liu Ci and Jing Jiu certainly didn't think so.

They just get used to it.

Habits are the most difficult spiritual shackles for human beings to overcome, even for those who have accomplished Taoism.

Anyway, the treasure ship king has money and ships, so he doesn't care about this.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he cares.

...

...

Zhong Lizi was startled, then clicked on the information on the bracelet, and found that there was a large amount of money in the account.

Of course she cares about this large sum of money, because she has to go to school and genetic optimization, and she wants to live.

She didn't try to return the money again, she looked at Jing Jiu and said seriously, "Thank you."

Whether she was in elementary school, middle school or Xinshi College, her temperament seemed a little proud and cold, even if she was pretending at first, it became a habit after a long time.

She rarely accepts help from others, and naturally she has no chance to say thank you.

Since the addition of this young tenant to the family, she has said thank you more times than in the previous sixteen years.

Because the boy kept helping her and didn't allow her to refuse.

"I said before, I'm using you, these are the rewards." Jing Jiu looked at her and said.

Zhong Lizi raised the corners of his lips slightly, showing a charming smile, and said, "But at least you haven't used it yet."

After saying this, she walked into Jing Jiu's arms, hugged him tightly, leaned her head on his shoulder, and refused to leave for a long time.

The room became very quiet, the alarm clock didn't ignorantly rang again, and the voice on the news gradually became quieter.

Jing Jiu was very experienced in this kind of thing. He stood there like a wooden man, with his hands hanging by his sides, his eyes looking straight ahead, and his deliberate breathing was very steady, and his heartbeat didn't change at all.

This is the so-called hug whatever you want, I won't hold your waist.

I don't know how long it took, it shouldn't be short, but it's not too long either.

When Jing Jiu started to read the fourth paper, Zhong Lizi finally let go of his hand, a little uncomfortably smoothed his silver hair, and turned back to the bedroom.

She went back to the bedroom to pack her luggage, and also to let the blush on her face fade a little.

Packing is easy. Stargate University provides board and lodging, and four sets of summer and winter uniforms and school uniforms. There are free movie theaters, game experience rooms, courts, and fitness rooms on campus... In short, what the society has, the school has, and it's free.

She only brought some close-fitting clothes and personal items, and walked out of the bedroom, went to the cabinet, looked at the big yellow cat in the photo, with a look of reluctance in her eyes.

Jing Jiu looked at the chair, feeling a little bit reluctant.

After leaving Chaotian Continent, his hidden world lost its meaning, and he could no longer carry things with him at any time. Even if he went to Yunmeng Mountain to get a space magic weapon, it would definitely be broken in the battle with the extraterritorial demons. Do you want to leave this chair here?

Zhong Lizi took out a backpack for him, and said, "No matter where you hide the money and things, be careful when you take them out, so that no one can see them."

The backpack was made of work cloth with a layer of black patent leather on the outside. It was fairly sturdy, but it didn't look very good.

Jing Jiu never cared about such things as appearance, so he put the silver computer in his bag, and a blue sportswear that he hadn't seen before, then turned and left the apartment.

...

...

The off-white aircraft left the lawn and flew towards the sky.

There are countless clouds and mist, and the platform is looming in between, like two cliffs facing each other, leaving only a sky.

Seeing the aircraft gradually disappearing into the clouds, the students of Xinshi College were in a complicated mood, and slowly stopped waving their hands.

Lu Shuiqian looked at the fuzzy traces left by the two aircraft on the lawn, and for some reason burst into tears, covering his face and running into the distance.

The students were a little surprised watching this scene, thinking that you and Zhong Lizi have such a good relationship?

...

...

Zhong Lizi sat by the window, a little nervous.

She didn't want to be seen by the middle-aged man named Gao Shu on the opposite side, so she covered her head with a sportswear hat and turned to look out the window. The sorrow of parting had already been expressed in the apartment, and she knew that Jing Jiu would not come to see her off, so she didn't take a look at the teachers and classmates who had turned into ants on the lawn below.

This is the first time for her to leave the underground street, besides the tension, of course, there are also many fresh feelings.

She looked at the looming platforms in the clouds and the buildings with obviously different styles on those platforms, her gaze was very focused.

Gao Shu sat across from her, looking at her intently and unobtrusively, and felt more and more that the judgment of the president and himself was not wrong.

Who is so calm when they leave the ground for the first time? Don't forget she's only sixteen.

This little girl is definitely not as simple as shown in the information, at least her life experience cannot be that simple.

Yes, her background is bleak but common. In the Galaxy Alliance, the secondary genetic modification provided by the government is ineffective, and there are too many people who have no money to carry out self-generated genetic optimization, and as a result, too many people are killed by diseases, and even more people are forced to commit suicide by fund scams.

The question is what is the relationship between her and the chairman who is far away from the main star?

The silver-gray aircraft keeps rising in the clouds and mist.

Those clouds and mist are much sparser than those seen from a distance, and much lighter than the surface clouds written in the textbooks, and the line of sight can easily pass through.

Zhong Lizi looked out the window quietly, looked at the old slogans painted on the steel structure cliff, looked at the waste water emerging from the cracks, and suddenly thought that it would rain occasionally in the underground block, could it be that?

I don't know how long it took, the clouds and mist cleared away, the steel structure cliff was gradually replaced by a newer floating bearing platform, and the two sides were getting farther and farther apart.

The most obvious change is that the area of ​​the blue sky above is getting bigger and bigger, and the white clouds are getting clearer and clearer, more and more like the pictures seen in textbooks and TV.

Suddenly, the aircraft jumped out of the ground.

The sun suddenly appeared out of the window, in front of Zhong Lizi's eyes.

At this moment, she could no longer maintain her composure, and opened her mouth slightly, thinking of a documentary she had watched.

A whale in the deep sea swam up for a long, long time, and finally broke out of the sea and came into the sky, making a deep and joyful cry. The problem is that the whale only stayed in the sky for a short time, then fell into the sea again, and was finally dragged back to the port by the fishing boat on that planet, where it became a source of food and protein powder.

Will you do the same?

The silver-gray aircraft suddenly began to descend, drawing an obvious arc in the air.

I don't know if it reminded her of the whale, or she thought of the strange world she was about to step into. She grabbed the seat belt nervously and looked around subconsciously, but she didn't see the figure that made her feel at ease.

Where are you at this time?

...

...

People in the underground neighborhood feel that the street lights are also beautiful after not seeing the sun for a long time.

It's just that the street lights are on day and night, so the beauty soon fades away.

Jing Jiu stood under a broken street lamp, waiting for the dim sunlight to flash by in the sky, and then waited for a long time.

There are still many mathematics papers to read, and the wait is not difficult for him.

The street lights flickered slightly, and the extremely dangerous steel cliff above became pitch black.

He walked to the end of the alley with his backpack on his back, and flew along the rusted iron frame.

Night Breeze lifted his hat, and his speed became faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, he crossed the cliff where Xinshi College was located.

In the process, he adjusted the orientation of all the monitors in the flight through the network, and at the same time turned off more than a dozen scanners between the various platforms. Turning off the scanner would set off an alarm, but if it was off for a short enough time, it could be attributed to high current fluctuations or other inexplicable reasons by those superstitious departments.

The exploding vitality tester at Xinshi College gave him confidence in the inferences he drew from TV and books.

If there were lights on those steel walls, and if someone had sharp enough eyesight, they would be able to see a particularly magical scene at this time - a teenager in sportswear with a backpack on his back, as if he was going to school, walking between those steel beams, and with a light tap of his toes, he could cross a distance of several kilometers.

All the scanners and monitoring equipment are in his head, and he has laid out the circuit perfectly, without encountering any obstacles or attracting anyone's attention.

It would be easier if he turned into a sword light. The problem is that there are always several warships suspended in the corner of the dark universe, and any moving object that exceeds the speed of common sense will attract the attention of those people.

He jumped between the steel beams, and like Zhong Lizi, he saw the sewage flowing out of the gaps, saw the living platforms that he could only look up from below, and saw those buildings. During the process, he also passed several layers of closed platforms that were obviously different. They were made of old-fashioned concrete, and there were gaps everywhere on them, which may be left over from the trauma of ancient wars.

The dark sky gradually took on some color, it was a warm light red, just like the light emitted by Furth Sword when Zhao Layue was in a good mood.

With a whoosh, a black figure appeared on the edge of the huge floating load-bearing platform, quietly crossed the magnetic guardrail, and walked towards the distant city.

At this time, the rising sun jumped out from behind the distant mountain, illuminating the whole world.
