Kapitel 3: The Baby Girl was Discovered
Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhou Ji's store was not big. Other than the shelf with the spell books outside, all the rooms inside were single rooms for practicing spells. There were eight rooms.
In addition, Zhou Ji also used a curtain to separate an area behind the spirit collecting platform as a living area. Originally, a man's life alone did not need to be so complicated, but who asked him to bear such a small burden?
Zhou Xiao Rui appeared three years ago, when Zhou Ji had just opened this shop. At that time, Zhou Ji had run around and sent out several improved common magic books to obtain approval to transfer the qualification.
On the night of the approval, on the way back to the shop, a baby girl's cry attracted his attention.
In the end, it was the soft-hearted Zhou Ji who listened to the baby girl's cry after his meal and finally gritted his teeth and carried her home. The filing and buying of all kinds of baby products made things worse for him.
Fortunately, all the difficulties had passed. Zhou Ji felt that he was truly living in this world and had a connection with this world. It also made him feel that everything around him was not a dream, not a game, and not a fantasy after he fainted.
"Daddy, I'm hungry."
Xiao Rui, who had been quietly listening to the spiritual screen, suddenly spoke, causing Zhou Ji to withdraw from the state where he had been repeatedly pondering over the improved wind manipulation technique. He turned his head and just happened to see that the episode of the TV series over there had finished broadcasting, and there was a commercial in the middle.
"Okay, I'll wash an apple for you to eat," Zhou Ji said and waved his hand again. An apple flew out from the bag in the corner behind the curtain. In the air, it came in contact with a ball of water. Then, with the help of the wind, it was rotated and cleaned. Finally, it was blown dry. After a series of procedures, the apple just flew in front of Xiao Rui.
"Thank you, Daddy."
Xiao Rui took the apple with a big smile on her face. She held the apple with both hands and began to chew it. She had heard the apple clearly when it flew over, so even if she couldn't see it now, she could still reach out and take it.
Zhou Ji supported his face with one hand and looked at the little girl who was obediently nibbling on the apple. He sighed in his heart. He didn't know what kind of heartless parents had abandoned such an obedient daughter back then. In the future, if someone came to recognize her, he would never agree to part with her even if he was beaten to death.
While his daughter was eating the apple, Zhou Ji switched the channel back. The spiritual essence escorted his mind to contact the spiritual screen. The news that was being broadcast on the screen was rewound and finally stopped on the screen that had just flashed past.
"It really is... the Solar System..." Zhou Ji activated the magnification technique and looked at the screenshot carefully. Due to the special nature of the spiritual screen, although the image was transmitted over, it was still as clear as the vector image.
With the amplification technique, which was specialized for the precision industry, he could clearly see the orange-like star and the water-blue planet in the third orbit around the star. The so-called habitable zone was this area, which was also the location of the Solar System!
A hundred years?
Zhou Ji conveniently switched the channel back to the program that Xiao Rui wanted to watch, and his brows gradually furrowed. According to the division of the star areas, the closer to the center of the star area, the denser the spiritual energy was, and the farther away the spiritual energy was, the thinner it was. The planet that had been dug up by the development team in a day was further south of planet Bai Shi'er, but it was also closer to Earth.
If that planet didn't have any spiritual energy, it would have been even more impossible for Earth to have any spiritual energy. It looked like Earth might face the same fate as this planet in a hundred years!
"Boss, it's done. The time hasn't passed yet, right?" The middle-aged man hurriedly ran out of the cultivation room and looked at the time, he pressed his hand on the intercom -- the flat instrument used to pay for spiritual crystals and time.
"With the time you have to talk about this, your time will be able to go up to one hour." Zhou Ji looked at the man's flustered movements and teased.
Fortunately, the man's movements were fast enough, and the time was finally up to 58 minutes.
"Thank you, thank you! I just finished cultivating. This spell is really useful, and the consumption of spiritual essence has been reduced a lot!"
"Thank you for the compliment. Come visit again!"
With 0.8 spiritual crystals in his account, Zhou Ji wore a professional smile on his face, not showing any of the coldness he had before.
This was how the small shop charged. After a spell was successfully recorded, it would be split 80-20 with the Spell Supervision Department, which was also known as the Spell Supervision Department for short. It was not only meant to pay taxes, but also to pay the management fee. It did not earn much at one time, but there was a lot of traffic. Today was not a day of rest, so very few people came over. When it was a day of rest, there would be a queue in the cultivation room.
The sun had already set. Zhou Ji took out a jade token from his pocket. After grabbing the jade token, he wrote the newly improved Second Power Lifting Spell into it with his consciousness. He pressed his palm on the intercom. When he saw the message that popped up on it, he put the jade token on it again.
There was an additional item in the Experience Column: New Year 182nd year 582, August 8th, 16:21:21, Zhou Ji, the owner of the store at No. 22 Huang Ding Street in the city No. 3 of di-c, uploaded the self-created spell "Second Power Lifting Spell" and began to review it. The review and notification would be completed in one working day.
The jade plate was equivalent to a mobile phone on Earth. It could be controlled by consciousness to call some people with known identity codes. On the same planet, the two people could communicate with their consciousness through the jade plate. They could also use it as a USB flash drive to interact with the content stored in it and machines like the intercom.
After dealing with the matters at hand, Zhou Ji continued to sit on the chair and cultivate with his eyes closed. Meditating was the cultivation method of the ancient antiques. In modern society, cultivation methods could be improved over and over again. They could be cultivated while walking, while lying down, or even while sleeping.
With a shallow breathing sound, the wind in the surroundings gathered around Zhou Ji. Small knives, which were almost invisible, gradually condensed and then slowly spread out. He was familiarizing himself with the updated Wind Control Technique. The transformation of the condensed form from a needle to a blade had changed the way the spiritual essence operated, and the consumption had also increased. Fortunately, the latest entry had the effect of reducing consumption, so the overall consumption was not large.
He now had two offensive techniques, one was the Thunder Technique, and the other was the Wind Control Technique. The Thunder Technique was powerful, it consumed a lot of energy, and it made a lot of noise. It was not suitable for training in the city. After all, in theory, Zhou Ji's spell was against the rules.
Training this thing was like holding a controlled gun and practicing in your own backyard. The only thing missing was to call the police and tell them that there was a controlled gun here.
The Wind Technique was much more convenient. As long as he did not shoot and attack, even if the surrounding people felt the fluctuation of the spiritual essence in the wind, they would subconsciously think that it was the fluctuation of the breeze spell or the more powerful Wind Blowing Spell.
Zhou Ji needed to familiarize himself with this incantation as soon as possible to prepare for tonight's operation.
He had been stuck at the peak of the refinement stage for two whole years. For the past two years, he had been saving money, but the cost of the official foundation establishment was one price per day. Just like the housing prices in the city in his previous life, they were always rising and never enough to save up.
When one was poor, one would think of changes. He found some channels for private transactions. It was hard to tell whether these private transactions were real or fake, but as long as one part of it was real, Zhou Ji believed that he could post it through his own cultivation method editor!
Of course, this was a violation of the rules after all. Zhou Ji also hesitated for a long time. But today, after he saw the news, he finally made a decision.
