Chapter 481 Xu Jidao's Secret
After Pei Yun left the dormitory, she entered the space directly. With a gloomy face, she opened the ancient book written by the Jidao Patriarch again. At this moment, she had completely understood the words in front of her -
"…My name is Xu Jidao, an ordinary mortal from Yuanxing. I was abandoned by my parents when I was born and grew up in an orphanage. I thought I would live a mediocre life. Unexpectedly, when I came to the orphanage to visit the director again, I got a pot of flowers. When the director gave it to me, he said the flower was called 'Flower of Hope'. I thought the director was encouraging me, but one day, my blood accidentally dripped onto the flower, and a strange journey began…"
Pei Yun flipped through the pages, reading the experiences narrated by the Jidao Patriarch, "...I was teleported to the Haoyu Continent because of this 'Flower of Hope'. This world actually allows people to cultivate immortality, and I can cultivate since I have spiritual roots. I always regarded myself as a bystander, not participating in the fights between demons, and practicing wholeheartedly. Finally, after several hundred years, I had the opportunity to ascend. However, at this time, I had a feeling in my heart that I was following the path of fate and cause and effect. Before I ascended, I read a fortune for myself, and it turned out that there would be a great disaster on the source star in the future, but the turning point was on the Haoyu Continent..."
Seeing this, Pei Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely guessed the purpose of being teleported here, "...For this reason, I left behind the 'Flower of Hope' before ascending, hoping that the destined person can use this flower to reach the Source Star and resolve this disaster...Since you can understand these words, you are the destined person I mentioned. As long as you save the Source Star, you can return to the Haoyu Continent...Jidao Patriarch."
By the end, Pei Yun had completely come to her senses. No wonder! Ever since she got the treasure map, she had been on a very smooth journey. Except for the old couple, she had hardly experienced any setbacks.
It took others decades to find the so-called "treasure place" of the Jidao Patriarch, but she found the clue in just one month. The truth is that there was an invisible hand controlling her along the way, tricking her into joining the game and wanting her to be the savior!
Pei Yun was speechless for a long while. This Jidao ancestor was different from Patriarch Qin Meng. Patriarch Qin Meng just missed his hometown and did not want Pei Yun to do anything for him. Moreover, he generously guided her and Luo Rufeng during their stay on Blue Star.
Patriarch Qin Meng also came from another world, but he completely regarded himself as a part of the Haoyu Continent. He made great efforts in the battle against the devil and left most of his treasures in the Haoyu Continent to train the younger generation.
On the other hand, this Jidao ancestor only regarded himself as a bystander when he was in Haoyu Continent, and chose to be neutral between Taoism and Demonism. But now he wants a native of Haoyu Continent like himself to save his hometown. Pei Yun would naturally not have any good impression of such a person.
After reading the autobiography of the Jidao Patriarch, Pei Yun came to the spiritual field. She planted the "Flower of Hope" in the space spiritual field and set up a barrier to prevent it from being destroyed by treasure-hunting rats and small spiritual ginseng.
The flower of hope exudes a bright purple light. The Jidao Patriarch mentioned in the book that "when the flower of hope blooms, it is time to return to the Haoyu Continent, but in order for the flower to bloom, it must absorb the power of time and space..."
She sighed deeply, gave some instructions to the treasure-hunting rat and Xiao Lingshen, and then left the space.
As soon as she left the space, Pei Yun flew to the other side of the river under the cover of night. She had to first understand the situation of this base and the strength of the superpowers in this world...
She stood in front of a row of tall buildings. The architectural style here was similar to that of Blue Star, and the level of technology was also almost the same. Director Zhang mentioned that this was the residence and office of people with special abilities, which was much better than the residence of ordinary people where Pei Yun stayed.
Basically everyone has an independent room, and there are large apartments and villa areas. The office and living areas all maintain the technological level before the end of the world, unlike the other side of the river, where the living standards have regressed by decades.
As soon as Pei Yun expanded his spiritual sense, he realized that he had made a fuss out of nothing. Judging by the standards of the Haoyu Continent, the highest level of cultivation of the psychics in this base was only in the middle stage of foundation building. There were 579 psychics in the entire base, and only three of them were foundation building cultivators, one in the middle stage of foundation building, two in the early stage of foundation building, and the rest were at the Qi Refining level.
After learning about the strength of these psychics, Pei Yun suddenly relaxed a lot. She walked into the lighted office building and wandered around freely...
With her strength, the world's technology such as artificial intelligence, face verification, fingerprint verification, cameras, etc. are of no use to her.
In a meeting room -
"Tomorrow we will go to the area on Fence Street in District 5. Peter has discovered that there are two SS-level monsters there, and the radiation in a secret place is extremely strong. Maybe there are meteorites scattered there..." Chu Zewen said, pointing to the tilted abandoned building on the screen.
The members of the first team were excited. Emily spoke first: "If we can find the meteorite, we can exchange it with the headquarters for energy crystals..."
Zuo Qi smiled and said, "Gong Ming and Jason are currently researching meteorites. If they get a meteorite, they will definitely ask Zewen for it. Why would they let you hand it over in exchange for energy crystals..."
"Only with energy crystals can we improve the strength of the psychics in our base. Otherwise, we will always be suppressed by the First Base and the Second Base..." Emily muttered.
Li Yi said: "If we can find the meteorite this time, we will hand it over to the headquarters in exchange for a power station. There are only three power stations in M Province now. The equipment in one power station has been irradiated and is almost unable to operate. The bases in several cities, including our K City, are short of electricity..."
"This is not easy. If we want the headquarters to build a power station, we must at least find enough meteorites..."
Chu Zewen listened to the discussion below without expressing any opinion, and only concluded: "The two SS-level beasts should not be underestimated. Everyone should be prepared and try to avoid getting hurt."
"Yes, Captain." All members of the first team stood up.
……
Pei Yun stood outside the door of the "Level 1 Laboratory", his consciousness penetrated the metal door made of special materials and observed the situation inside -
There were eight people in total, surrounding a fist-sized meteorite. The meteorite was placed in a transparent cover, with all kinds of strange instruments and devices plugged in the outside. The two leading people were discussing something intensely.
Pei Yun fixed her gaze on the meteorite, and her expression changed slightly when her spiritual sense swept it. This meteorite actually revealed a faint power of time and space. Of course, in addition to the power of time and space, when her spiritual sense was detecting it, it seemed that some invisible force was quietly eroding her soul.
She activated the Chaos Orb and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared.
After checking the base for superpowers, it was already dawn. Pei Yun did not leave the base to inspect the outside world, but quietly returned to the dormitory, closed his eyes and lay on the bed waiting for dawn...
At seven o'clock in the morning, everyone in the dormitory woke up. After lining up to wash up, everyone took an energy pill. Pei Yun also took an energy pill. To be honest, the effect of this energy pill is much worse than the ninth-grade Qi-replenishing pill.
The other people in the dormitory were very cold towards Pei Yun. They ignored the newcomer and went straight to work.
Only He Ying hesitated for a moment and shyly reminded, "The Labor Office is in front of the dormitory building. Go straight out of this dormitory building, turn left at the first intersection, and go into the first room of the first building... Only when you find a job can you earn points to exchange for energy pills."
"Thank you." Pei Yun could feel the kindness of the girl in front of her. She smiled and walked out of the dormitory with He Ying. "What's your job?"
"I work in a clothing factory and can earn two points a day. The base provides two sets of protective clothing for free every year. You have to wear them carefully. If the protective clothing is damaged, you have to buy new ones. One protective clothing costs 20 points."
He Ying said, "The garment factory is short of people recently. You can apply for a job in the garment factory. It's an assembly line position. The work is very simple..."
"I want to work in the fields outside the base. Director Zhang said there are five points a day..." Pei Yun said with a smile.
The two of them parted ways when they reached a fork in the road, and Pei Yun indeed applied to work in the fields outside the base.
The director of the labor department looked at the pretty girl in front of him and couldn't help but advise her: "Working in the fields is very hard and the radiation is high. You have to think clearly. If you can't complete a day's work, you will be deducted points."
"I understand. Thank you, Director."
Pei Yun got the job application form and went directly to the orchard where he met Xu Liu and Old White yesterday...
Director Zhang accepted her job application form and assigned her a task: "Working hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. You cannot be late or leave early. If you have something to do, ask for leave in advance. All the apples must be picked in the next two days. You cannot be lazy. We will have to farm immediately..."
"Yes."
After Director Zhang left, Xu Liu and Old White immediately came over to greet him. Xu Liu couldn't wait to ask, "Why did you come here to work? The work here is very hard, and picking apples is just the easiest job..."
Old White also sighed and nodded: "We will come to help you when we finish our work. You can work here. It is close to the warehouse and you can walk less..."
Pei Yun thanked the two of them. After they left, Pei Yun looked at the apple tree in front of him, raised his hand and waved it gently. In a few moments, the apples on the tree were collected into the empty basket...
