went to the study room
He continued to listen to Ellie take stock of her gains this time.
" Mission success earned 2,000 merit points. Initial mission successful. Market opened."
" 2,000 merit points used for the divine power 'Breakthrough to Perfection'
"The contract rules have come into effect. The employer is authorized to open the shop panel, transmigration panel, and conversation panel. According to the agreement, the host will take 80% of each transaction. As of now, the host has earned 8,000 merit points. The merit points are still being earned."
At this point, Ellie could not help but say,"Profiteer."
Imagine, a piece of clothing originally only needed 0.2 merit points to exchange. With 80% of the commission, the price rose to 1 merit point. Now there were about 300,000 people in the world of Nine Regions, and each person had an average of 10 merit points. Due to the wide variety of items in the mall, the transaction volume must be very large. Even after deducting the cost, it could still continue to earn about 2 million merit points, not to mention the benefits brought by the merit points earned by the missions in Nine Regions in the future!
After a pause, Ellie continued to count.
"The merit points income has exceeded 5,000 points. The system has opened the upgrade mission panel. You can generate an upgrade mission by spending 5,000 merit points.”
" The system will upgrade to version 2.0 after completing the designated upgrade mission. There will be a divine power reward and a contract scroll reward if the mission is successful."
Hearing the reward for activating the upgrade mission, Gu Bai's breathing began to quicken, and he was even more excited!
Divine power! This was a divine power produced by the system!
How could Gu Bai not be excited when he thought about the two Divine Powers that the system had given him?
The divine power, Perfection Upon Breakthrough, allowed him to reach the strength that ordinary second-grade Confucians could only reach after decades of accumulation. This divine power was simply a bug.
Not to mention the super buggy divine power " When in Rome, do as the locals do ". As long as one was lucky enough to transmigrate to a powerful world, they would instantly be able to sync the strength of the invitation letter applicants. It had to be known that those who could receive the invitation letter were all people who had accumulated boundless merit in their previous lives. They were either children of the plane or people with rich luck. How could their strength be bad?
took a deep breath
Gu Bai forced himself to calm down.
Having lived two lives, Gu Bai had already passed the age of being impulsive. He knew that the more he received, the more he had to give. He spoke less and did more.
"Ellie, can you please suggest what I should do?”
Ellie smiled in relief.
"Brother Bai, although you're now a second-grade Confucian, your understanding of the Confucian Way is not deep enough. You also know half of the methods of the Confucian Way to resist enemies and eliminate demons. You currently only have a 50% chance of completing the mission. You can only complete it with 100% success rate if you reach the Third Grade of the Confucian Way.”
The Academy?
The Great Qin Dynasty valued Confucianism and respected Confucianism.
Not only were there academies in every county, but every academy also had a similar library.
Breaking through to the Second Stage of the Confucian Dao made him feel a little arrogant.
In Lin 'an County, the Academy's Chancellor was only a second-grade Confucian. His predecessor, Gu Bai, had seen him a few times and had experienced the power of the Chancellor. He remembered that there was once a pig demon that came to Lin' an County to cause trouble and many people died. At that time, Gu Bai, who was listening to a lecture in the Academy, saw the Academy's Chancellor who was giving a lecture and just looked in the direction of the pig demon and said one word,"" Destroy!" The pig demon turned into ashes on the spot.
His predecessor didn't understand what kind of power this was, but now Gu Bai, who was also a second-grade Confucian, knew that this was a second-grade Confucian, Lip Spear Realm.
First Grade of the Confucian Way, Qi Cultivation Realm. Fighting against enemies and subduing demons were mostly composed of poems with talent. When matched with Chinese meaning of the poem to resonate with the Heavenly Dao, talent would amplify its power with poetry. Generally, the talent cultivated in a year by the first grade of Confucianism and Taoism could only write two poems at most.
Therefore, Aunt Wang, who lived next door, went to Qiao Qiao to ask for a poem, but she couldn't get it. Talent was too precious to scholars.
In fact, the great powers of the Way of Confucius did not lack talent. What they lacked was a masterpiece that could resonate with the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, as long as one had sufficient talent and could produce demon-subduing runes in batches, the world would have long been ruled by the human race. Moreover, there was a restriction. Only the talent of the original author of the poem could stimulate the poetic essence. Generally, the stronger the poem, the greater the talent required.
Second-grade Confucian, Lip Spear Realm. At this time, the killing of demons in the Confucian Way was no longer limited to writing articles. With every word, the Heavenly Dao would resonate. As long as the demons were not in the realm of big demons, no matter how many came, it would only be a matter of a few words in front of the second-grade Confucian Way. When he was at the peak of the Second Grade of Confucianism and Taoism, he helped others to enlighten and develop their wisdom. He wrote articles for martial arts experts to gain enlightenment. Thus, every second-grade Confucian was highly respected.
The nine grades of Confucianism were conferred by the heavens. One grade was a heaven.
Such powerful strength, but in Ellie's eyes, there was only a 50% chance of completing the upgrade mission.
Gu Bai nodded calmly. He was glad that he wasn't too hot-headed. He couldn't help but feel curious about the contents of the mission.
Ellie saw Gu Bai's curiosity and continued thoughtfully,
"You can check the mission content in advance by spending 2,000 merit points.”
What?
"Two thousand?"
Gu Bai, who had just praised Ellie for being considerate, immediately exploded."Profiteer, you are a profiteer!"
"Hehe, you too."
"Can it be less?"
"No bargaining."
After experiencing a world, Gu Bai's understanding of merit points was no longer as ignorant as before. Not only could merit points be used to buy many extraordinary items in the mall (even if they were frighteningly expensive), but merit points were also needed every time he used divine arts. The higher the realm, the more merit points were needed. Every time he transmigrated, merit points were also needed. Moreover, this was the effect of merit points in version 1.0 of the system. Ellie did not elaborate on more effects due to the rules.
The reason why Gu Bai had set the ratio of the employer's share to 80% in the transaction contract was because he had no other choice.
thought for a moment
Gu Bai decided not to check it out for now. If the next supporting world was a Tier 2 world, then having sufficient merit points was the only guarantee.
Forget it, let's not think about this. It's still early. It's not too late to go to the county academy now. After all, Ping 'an Village is only ten miles away from the county. It's very fast.
At the thought of walking ten miles, Gu Bai's otaku nature came out.
"With my strength, I can reach all parts of the world with just a thought. Sigh! The main world is too ruthless in suppressing one's strength."
When they went out to the courtyard, the ground was still covered in frost and rain. It was still early in the morning, and Qiao 'er was no longer in the kitchen. She must have gone to do some manual work with Aunt Wang.
Gu Bai thought pitifully, What a hardworking wife. This silly child didn't think about the recent demons 'havoc. Few people go out of Peace Village in the cold winter.
Gu Bai felt that something big was going to happen when he thought about the recent demons. Now that he was a second-grade Confucian, it should not be a problem for him to leave a few poems to suppress the demons before the Enke exam!
Leave a special note to indicate that Qiaoqiao has something to do and is out
at the same time
Great Qin's Lin 'an County's higher-ups, Nanhua Palace
Governor Li of Nanhua Mansion was secretly receiving the Thirteenth Princess of Great Qin. At this moment, both of them had serious expressions and were arguing fiercely.
"Lord Li, His Majesty has already personally led the army to quell the rebellion of the eight kings. I believe it won't be long before it's settled. However, yesterday, the Demon Subduing Rank reported that the Demon Venerable of Poisonous Dove Ridge threw ten great demons and wanted to use the internal strife to sacrifice Shaohua Mansion. His Majesty will definitely remember your contribution!"
"Your Highness, forgive me for being powerless. His Majesty has already conscripted the guards of many villages in Nan Hua Mansion. Now that the New Year's Sacrifice is approaching, many people can't even protect themselves.”Governor Li refused with a crying face,
Now that the Great Empress had ascended the throne, Great Qin was in chaos, and the demons were eyeing them like tigers eyeing their prey.
"Lord Prefect, how could His Majesty not know of your predicament? The Great Confucians of the Palace of Culture and the Great Demon Saints have made an agreement that no one above the sixth rank of the Confucian Way is allowed to make a move. The two Great Confucians of the fifth rank of the Great Qin's Palace of Culture have to guard the capital.
Without waiting for Governor Li's reply, the Thirteenth Princess took out an item with a flash of golden light and said in a low voice,"
"Lord Li is a third-grade Great Scholar with three talents that can destroy great demons. Now that the group of demons is tied down in Shaohua Mansion, with this Wen Bao guarding it, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term."
"This…"
"This subject will obey!"
"There is no time to lose. I implore Your Highness to go to the academy in the prefecture to invite the Mountain Chieftain. The reason why Nan Hua Mansion can barely defend itself now is because of the Mountain Chieftain of the Academy, who is a third-grade Confucian.”
Although Governor Li was reluctant, he knew that he could not refuse.
.. Cute golden line
Gu Bai arrived at the city gate of the county town. What he saw was a city wall that was exactly the same as the ancient city wall of the Blue Planet. It felt much taller than the Blue Planet. There was a demon-suppressing poem pasted above the city gate, making it difficult for demons and ghosts to hide. Gu Bai knew that it was written by the Chancellor of the Second-rank County Academy of Confucianism and Taoism.
It was already noon. Due to the lack of people in winter, there were only a few people coming in and out of the city gate. Gu Bai quickly entered the city. Although his predecessor had been here many times, this was the first time Gu Bai had experienced the city scenery of this world. He looked around curiously!
Thanks to the Transcendent World, the streets in the city were about ten feet wide. The streets were clean and tidy, and there were various shops on both sides. The shop signs emitted a faint light, and Gu Bai knew that it was talent.
The rich and powerful shops would invite the great scholars to give them their doorplates, while the weak ones would usually invite those scholars with potential. Previously, Gu Bai had received invitations from small shops, but this fellow was too arrogant. As time passed, no one came to look for Gu Bai. In fact, Gu Bai knew that his predecessor was waiting for those big shops to look for him!
When they arrived at the entrance of the Academy, they could hear the sound of reading. The gate was not big, and the building of the Academy was nothing special. It was a green brick house, similar to ordinary people's houses, but with a few more rooms.
At this moment, the gate of the Academy opened. A short man of about eighteen years old wearing a white Confucian robe walked in. He had a fat head and big ears and was holding a folding fan in his hand. Gu Bai knew who it was when their eyes met. It was the only son of the richest man in the county, Liu Zhengxin! Without waiting for Gu to speak, Liu Zhengxin spoke first,"
Brother Gu, I was just about to go find you. Come, follow me to find Chancellor."
"Alright," she said.
Gu Bai nodded. Although he was puzzled, he could not talk too much at the entrance of the Academy to avoid disturbing the students 'studies.
They came to the study of the Academy's Chancellor. At this moment, the Chancellor was lowering his head as if he was thinking about something. The two of them cupped their hands in salute to the Chancellor in turn.
"Teacher, Jing An."
The Academy's Chancellor, Ji, Mingshan, also known as Kuande, was a second-grade Confucian. He was in his fifties with snow-white hair. His face was red and solemn, about the same height as Liu Zhengxin. He liked to fiddle with his white beard from time to time.
Gu Bai wasn't worried that Chancellor Ji would be able to see through his taste, not only because Gu Bai's realm was higher than his, but also because the system Ellie had once said that unless he was willing, even the taboo giants of the heavens would find it difficult to see through his realm. After all, he had to be "inconspicuous"
Ritual Closed
Chancellor Ji gestured for the two of them to sit side by side in front of the ink table. Looking at the two of them, Chancellor Ji stroked his beard, his eyes revealing a satisfied expression.
after all
One was talented, and the other was rich.
After a moment of deliberation, he told the two of them the reason why he was looking for them.
"The two of you are about to enter the capital to take the exam. I originally wanted to pick a day to bestow the two of you with the characters after the annual sacrifice. Now that there's no time, let's do it today."
Gu Bai and Liu Zhengxin were puzzled at the same time."Teacher, what do you mean?"
"Hey, there's no harm in telling you guys."
"The Shaohua Mansion is in chaos due to the demons. The chief of the academy in the prefecture has ordered us to go and support them. It will be dangerous for some time."
Looking at their shocked expressions, Chancellor Ji said again,"
"The two of you don't have to worry. His Majesty has already given the calligraphy treasure to the prefect.”
Although the two of them were still extremely worried, they calmed down when they heard that His Majesty was already prepared. They continued to listen to the Chancellor,"
"Before I bestow the word, I want to tell you about the two paths after Enke."
Two paths?
"First, after the imperial examinations, enter the court and become an official.”
" Second, join the Academy and educate the people to guard a place. Cultivate Confucianism with Righteousness."
"You guys can choose these two. We'll talk about it later. Now, say your words."
Seeing the two of them nod respectfully, he continued,
" Gu Bai, you have kept yourself clean and studied the books of the sages. Although you have inherited the true meaning of Confucianism, you lack the ways of the world and unintentionally offend others. I hope that you will make great progress and protect your heart."
Changshou?
Although Gu Bai's personality was different from his previous self, he had fused his memories after all. His personality would also affect the current Gu Bai due to the fusion of his memories. Therefore, he agreed with the meaning of the words bestowed by the Chancellor: " Make great progress and protect your heart." Gu Bai, who understood it, immediately stood up and bowed.
" Student Chief Shou, thank you teacher for bestowing the word. I will not let down teacher's kindness in this life."
Chancellor Ji nodded in satisfaction and said to Liu Zhengxin,"
"Liu Zhengxin, although you admire Confucianism, you are not aggressive enough. Now, I give you the word 'Zhengde', which means that righteousness enters the heart and you have both virtue and ability."
Liu Zhengxin immediately stood up and bowed.
"Student is upright and virtuous. Thank you for the word, teacher. I will not let down teacher's kindness in this life."
