When Zhang San received the call, he was quite surprised.
Then, almost in the blink of an eye, the consciousness of 'Zhang San' became the main consciousness of 'Qin Jinnian'.
"Yes."
The person on the other end of the phone was Jiang Yetong.
Qin Jinnian pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it because of the 'unspeakable' news?"
"yes."
"So I'm going to the capital now?"
"No, just come to the night watch."
"Night watchman?...Okay, I'll be there in half an hour."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Jinnian's eyes flashed.
He expected that the indescribable news would alarm the top leaders. But directly alarming the leader, and even having a direct conversation with "Zhang San"... was still somewhat beyond Qin Jinnian's expectations.
And there is no doubt that the two god-level combat power displayed by 'Dawn' this time... should also be one of the factors that attracted attention . Coincidentally, Qin Jinnian did have some questions in his mind, but he had no source of information. Now he went to meet this legendary leader, maybe he could figure out some things...
To put it simply, why were the God-level Abyss species suppressed by those lines in the sky? What is Gaia's consciousness? And even... after learning that the indescribable existence was about to descend on Earth, what plans did the top leaders have? Direct dialogue was obviously the best way.
Thinking of this, Qin Jinnian did not hesitate and controlled the 'Zhang San' clone to go towards the night watchman.
Half an hour later he reached the Night Watch.
Zhang San's popularity is even greater now than it was a few days ago. As soon as he arrived at the night watch, he attracted the attention of a group of night watchmen. Their eyes lit up, and they greeted Zhang San respectfully, calling him "Mr. Zhang"...
The events of Kaiyuan City have now been fully exposed. He fought three god-level abyss creatures alone and successfully suppressed them... The current 'Zhang San' is already a well-known god-level strongman.
There are even many people discussing online whether he is one of the top fighters in Daxia?
However, there are still many strong people in Daxia, and many super-powered people have said that Zhang San’s combat power is definitely not the ceiling... After all, the real strong people cannot stay on the earth, they are all in the abyss.
In the abyss, the god-level strongmen are at most the cornerstone, and there are many people above the god-level...
It's just hard to get back to Earth.
But no matter what, it is a foregone conclusion that Zhang San is a god-level being. At least on Earth, he should be considered one of the top beings.
Faced with such an existence, how could the night watchmen dare to be negligent?
Not to mention, Zhang San also saved Kaiyuan City this time...more than 60 million people were saved because of him.
So whether out of respect for the strong or respect for the hero, the attitude of these night watchmen towards Zhang San is completely different from the previous few days.
There were even quite a few younger night watchmen who looked at Zhang San with a bit of admiration in their eyes...
Qin Jinnian smiled at these people. After explaining his purpose, a young girl soon volunteered to take "Zhang San" to Jiang Yetong's office.
As we approached the office...
“Which one…”
The girl suddenly spoke shyly, looking at 'Zhang San' with a blushing face.
Qin Jinnian was stunned for a moment and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
The girl gritted her teeth, as if she mustered up the courage to look directly at Zhang San, her voice trembling a little: "Master San, I, I am your fan. Can you, give me an autograph?"
After saying this, the girl's pretty face had turned red to the extreme, but her pair of bright eyes looked at "Zhang San" with expectation and longing.
Qin Jinnian was a little confused... This was the first time in his life that someone asked him for an autograph.
No, I'm not a celebrity either...
Oh, no, he was looking for Zhang San's autograph, and had nothing to do with Qin Jinnian.
But the key point is... Zhang San is not a star.
What do you want him to sign?
In Qin Jinnian's opinion, signing seems to be a privilege that only belongs to "stars"?
I was stunned for a while and didn't respond. I saw the expression on the girl's face. She was full of expectation at the beginning, then gradually became stunned. Then, slowly, expectation turned into disappointment, and then from disappointment to loss, and finally became gloomy.
"No, it's okay. No, forget it. Mr. Zhang, Director Jiang is still waiting for you..."
The girl then forced herself to smile to save herself.
Qin Jinnian finally came to his senses. Seeing the disappointment and embarrassment on the little girl's face, he thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "I'm not a star... and I didn't bring a pen..."
"I brought it!"
Upon hearing this, the girl seemed to have hope rekindled, her eyes suddenly brightened, and then Qin Jinnian saw her take out a fountain pen from her trouser pocket and look at him expectantly...
Is this something you've prepared for? Qin Jinnian shook his head and smiled... Although he wasn't used to it, Qin Jinnian felt that he was a gentle person and couldn't bear to refuse the girl's request. He took the pen and said, "My handwriting is ugly, please don't mind... Where should I sign?"
"Yeah! Just write it here..."
The girl shook her head vigorously, then opened her white T-shirt with an excited expression and let Zhang San sign on the clothes.
“…”
The girl looked to be around 20 years old. She must have just graduated from college and started working at the Night Watch. She had a curvy figure and looked very youthful. Her expression...
Qin Jinnian thought for a moment and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"
When the girl heard Qin Jinnian asking her name, her face flushed and she said excitedly, "My name is Li Xiaoyou!"
"Li Xiaoyou..."
Qin Jinnian muttered for a moment, thought about it, and then wrote on the other person's clothes.
"I wish Youyou a life of joy and happiness forever - Zhang San."
After finishing writing, he handed the pen back to the girl. The girl was already so excited that she could hardly control herself. The excitement in her big watery eyes almost overflowed from her eyes. She looked at Qin Jinnian with a silly smile.
Qin Jinnian laughed, "It's my first time signing, so my handwriting isn't very pretty... Well, I'll go home and practice, and I'll sign a nice one for you next time... Okay, thank you Miss Youyou for leading the way, and let's go back to work."
As he said that, he stuffed the pen in his hand into the smiling girl's hand and turned to walk towards Jiang Yetong's office.
The girl then came to her senses and wanted to shout something anxiously, but then she came to her senses again and covered her mouth.
Then, she paced a few times with tears in her eyes, then turned around and ran away. She took out her cell phone while running...
This is Mr. Zhang’s first signature!
I took it down myself!
She thought excitedly.
…
The girl's request for an autograph was just an episode and Qin Jinnian didn't take it seriously. He came to the office door, but before he could knock, the door opened.
Jiang Yetong, a girl with purple hair and a beautiful face, appeared at the door, leaving Qin Jinnian stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yetong looked at him with complicated eyes, then glanced at the girl who ran away, and said in a strange tone: "Oh, congratulations, Mr. Zhang San, you have gained a little fan girl."
This strange tone made Qin Jinnian stunned for a moment, then he suddenly narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Director Jiang's words don't sound right..."
"What's wrong?"
"It feels sour... Wow, Director Jiang, are you jealous?"
"Eat, jealous?! Bah! You're so beautiful!"
Originally, Qin Jinnian was just joking to tease the other person, but Jiang Yetong's expression suddenly changed, and he even seemed to stutter a little...which made Qin Jinnian confused.
Wait a moment.
No way? He looked at Jiang Yetong suspiciously.
Jiang Yetong seemed to realize that her reaction was wrong. She turned around and said quickly, "Do you think I'm one of those little fans of yours outside? The leader is waiting for you, don't talk nonsense to me here!"
As he spoke, he walked quickly into the office.
But Qin Jinnian could see... the white ears that were faintly visible under her purple hair had turned a little pink...
“…”
no……
Jiang Yetong, does he really like Zhang San? Qin Jinnian swallowed his saliva and carefully recalled the past when he interacted with Jiang Yetong as Zhang San.
It turned out that... at the beginning, the two were clearly in a state of confrontation.
Jiang Yetong didn't trust him, and he was wary of Jiang Yetong as a night watchman because of his own secrets, so during the interaction, they were almost always in the state of "opponent".
But as various events happened later, the two interacted more and more, and perhaps a sense of trust gradually developed in the process, so the "confrontation" began to weaken. However, because what was discussed more in the process was transactions, in order to ensure the authenticity of "Dawn", Qin Jinnian and Jiang Yetong bargained ruthlessly. So when facing Qin Jinnian, Jiang Yetong was more depressed and angry, and even found a chance to say a few words to him, and there was a bit of "gunpowder smell".
Later, Qin Jinnian's status improved and his ability to protect himself became stronger, so he became more and more calm and free in his words and deeds. At this time, the interaction between Jiang Yetong and Zhang San seemed to have less gunpowder, and gradually there was a sense of inexplicable familiarity with old friends...
Isn't this the same plot as in the melodramatic romance dramas, where a pair of happy enemies are in love? And then, what kind of person is Zhang San from Jiang Yetong's perspective?
Mysterious, cynical, a little handsome, and extremely powerful...
The most important thing is that Zhang San’s appearance is set to be around 25 years old, which is exactly the same age as Jiang Yetong.
this……
Qin Jinnian's face twitched.
No, I’m still single.
My own clone actually caught the girl first? !
And it was Jiang Yetong, a top-notch girl who had good looks, a good figure, strong abilities, and a good background? What was this? Qin Jinnian was a little confused.
Zhang San, you are my clone!
this……
this……
Qin Jinnian was a little confused for a moment.
Standing there in a daze.
"Huh? Why are you still standing there acting stupid?"
Jiang Yetong, who had already walked into the inner room of the office, finally realized that Zhang San did not follow him.
She was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw Zhang San standing stupidly at the door. She couldn't help but frown.
Qin Jinnian came back to his senses and saw Jiang Yetong's frowning expression. He blurted out, "Do you really like me?"
Jiang Yetong was stunned, her eyes widened, and then her pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, her eyes fixed on Zhang San.
Qin Jinnian immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question, and laughed out loud: "Ahem, just a joke, just a joke... What? Didn't the leader want to see me? Where is he? Did he come to Canglan?"
He laughed, not looking at Jiang Yetong, and asked as he walked inside.
Jiang Yetong stared at Zhang San, and saw that he had been deliberately not looking at her. She didn't know whether she was happy or annoyed. She was silent for a while, and finally covered her eyes and said calmly: "Why did the leader come to Canglan? This meeting is an online meeting... Come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and knocked on the wall behind the office a few times. Suddenly, a secret room appeared.
Seeing that Jiang Yetong no longer mentioned this matter, Qin Jinnian felt relieved, but then felt helpless.
Judging from the situation, Jiang Yetong should be really attracted to Zhang San.
But Zhang San...
It's just a clone...
He had some doubts in his heart, but when he saw Jiang Yetong walked into the secret room and waited for him, he took a deep breath and put the matter behind him for the time being.
I should wait and see what the leader will do when he sees me. What kind of information can I get from the leader? When I walked into the secret room, I found that Qin Fang was already here. He had stood up when he heard the noise. After seeing Zhang San, Qin Fang nodded to him and said, "Mr. Zhang, the leader has been waiting for a long time."
Qin Jinnian was startled before he could say anything, because he saw a figure sitting behind Qin Fang.
Before Qin Jinnian could speak, a gentle voice sounded: "Hello, Zhang San. I am Yun Daozhen."
Yun Daozhen, the leader of Daxia.
The leader of Daxia had his back to Qin Jinnian at the moment. All that could be seen was his tall and majestic figure, and his voice was gentle and calm.
This should be a holographic projection. In addition to him, the projection also includes the surrounding environment... But the environment is very strange, as if it is in an extremely dark world, and the surroundings are hazy and full of fog... I don't know where it is? Qin Jinnian took a look and bowed while thinking in his heart: "Zhang San greets the leader."
"Xiao Qin, you and Xiao Jiang go out first. I want to talk to Zhang San."
The leader seemed to smile, then spoke to Qin Fang and Jiang Yetong.
The two men bowed and accepted the order: "Yes."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the secret room.
As the door of the secret room slowly closed, only Zhang San and the leader's holographic projection were left in the room.
The surroundings fell into silence.
After a short silence, the leader's voice sounded gently: "I didn't expect that our first meeting would be in this way. In fact, we should have met in real life, but now... the situation is a bit tense, it's not a good time. Let's meet in real life after this crisis is over."
Qin Jinnian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Poxiao is also looking forward to meeting the leader."
The leader smiled and responded, then said, "Then let's get straight to the point... Can you tell me in detail what the God-level Abyss Species said to you?"
Qin Jinnian had no objection and immediately repeated everything that the Abyss Seed had said that day... but he didn't use the aria style... He always felt that speaking like that was too childish and too embarrassing.
The leader listened throughout without interrupting.
Until Qin Jinnian said: "That's it, and then the abyss seed exploded."
"Well, it's like this... The final sacrifice is a method used by the Abyss to hide the Abyss aura and Gaia's consciousness by using human flesh and soul, so as to sneak down from the Abyss. What descended was just a consciousness, not even a soul. The four god-level Abyss that you suppressed at Dawn should not be dead. So when they said they recorded your soul fluctuations, it should not be a lie."
The leader thought for a moment and then explained to Qin Jinnian.
"I see……"
Qin Jinnian suddenly realized.
"If you don't mind, can I ask...how did you and your companion Li Si break through to the God level?"
But the leader's next question caught Qin Jinnian off guard.
He was stunned for a moment.
How did you break through to the god level?
If the original body's status is elevated to the middle level, all the clones will naturally break through to the god level... How should he answer this?
The most important thing is that Qin Jinnian really doesn't know how a normal 10th-order superpower person... breaks through to the god level! So this question made Qin Jinnian speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
The leader waited for a while and asked gently, "Is there anything difficult?"
Qin Jinnian was suddenly filled with thoughts and remained silent for a long time before he suddenly said, "It's not that I'm embarrassed, it's just... I'm also confused."
"Inexplicable?" The leader seemed to be interested: "How inexplicable?"
"Because, I don't know how I broke through to the God level."
Qin Jinnian spread out his hands calmly.
"have no idea?"
This seemed to surprise and astonish the leader. After a short silence, he gently asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"
"To put it simply, after I broke through to the tenth level of super power, I didn't do anything special. One day, I woke up and inexplicably found that there was a golden power in my body... If I merge that power into super power, it will greatly enhance super power. But where this power came from... I don't know."
If you tell lies, you will definitely be found out.
Qin Jinnian is very clear about this.
The other party was the leader of Daxia. Who knew how powerful he was and how much extraordinary intelligence he had mastered... Telling lies in front of him? Qin Jinnian didn't have the ability to do so at all.
But the matter of the panel and authority was his core secret...it must not be told to a second person.
After much thought, the only way is... to get over it.
I don’t know how I broke through to the God level…
It's that simple.
As for whether the other party believes it or not? It's up to them to believe it or not.
Anyway, I just don’t know.
I have to say that strength is indeed a person’s courage.
Qin Jinnian no longer needs to be as cautious as before.
Even when facing this leader, he would not be completely powerless.
He hopes to have good relations with the authorities, but this kind of "good relations" must be based on "equality".
What's the point of him getting promoted to this position?
Of course, this also requires some methods and approaches. For example, for this question, he can answer "I don't know", but cannot answer "I don't want to say".
The former still has room for recovery, but the latter is a complete break-up.
After all…what if the other party really believed it?
Maybe he could even come up with some inexplicable things in his mind...and no matter what these things are, they won't have much impact on Qin Jinnian.
But just saying "I don't want to say" is a slap in the face.
He is the leader of Daxia, why don't you give him this little face? What do you want to do? After hearing Qin Jinnian's answer, the leader was silent for a long time, and Qin Jinnian did not speak either, waiting patiently.
A moment later...
"As soon as I woke up, I reached the God level on my own... So, you and your companions reached the God level without the help of any Abyss materials... Is that right?"
Unexpectedly, the leader's reaction seemed to be that he believed Qin Jinnian's words.
Qin Jinnian felt strange, but still nodded: "Yes."
"Have you used Abyss Materials in your previous advancement?"
The leader suddenly asked a strange question.
Qin Jinnian was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "That was used. When I just awakened my super power to the tenth level of super power, I used abyss materials to advance."
This is not a lie.
He was using the materials Qin Fang gave him last time.
This answer obviously made the leader fall into deep thought again, and he even murmured in the end: "That's strange. You entered the tenth level with abyss materials, but you automatically advanced to the god level... Gaia consciousness didn't resist you... Why is that?"
The leader's whispers gave Qin Jinnian something to think about.
Gaia consciousness?
"Leader, what is Gaia Consciousness? It doesn't resist us...how can you say that?"
Qin Jinnian asked.
The leader was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.
