"Brother, Mom and Dad, I'm going to school. I wish you good luck in finding lots and lots of raw stone mines!"
Chen Xin said goodbye to her family and skipped happily to school.
Mr. Chen nodded and greeted his son.
"Let's go!"
The two left together, and along the way, they were greeted with congratulations and well wishes.
"Old Chen, you really have a good son! He managed to get twenty more quotas for you in less than a month!"
"If I had known your Chen Luo was so promising, I should have switched our children back then!"
"Hey! Old Chen, your son isn't engaged yet, is he? My daughter is almost at the Mahayana stage. How about we become in-laws? I won't ask for much, just give me ten yuan a month!"
"You still want ten yuan... Old Chen, my daughter only wants five yuan. As long as you nod, I'll send her to your house right away!"
......
Chen Ping'an's grin never left his face the entire way.
Although many people had suggested marriage when Chen Luo first entered the Immortal Academy in the main city,
But back then, it wasn't nearly as real as it is now.
Everyone knows what it was like after I went to the Immortal Academy in the main city and came back.
It's normal; it's been more than half a year since I've had the motivation to mine.
Even worse, some families were so delayed that they couldn't complete their tasks and ended up having to scramble to survive in a landfill...
Why don't you see many people gathering at the landfill?
Because those people are all dead!
Without reaching the True Immortal realm, there are no laws protecting the body.
Perhaps it was just stepping on a piece of weapon debris, resulting in a cut on the foot.
Without money to buy medicine for injuries or spiritual food to replenish their vital energy, they would die within a month or two.
He originally thought Chen Luo was the same, which was why Chen Ping'an was strict with him, hoping to dispel some of his unrealistic fantasies.
He had also stockpiled a lot of crystal fragments in advance to prepare for purchasing more for future missions.
But to my surprise, my son gave me such a big surprise.
In just his first month in the mine, he completed the task on his own!
Compared to Chen's father's joy, Chen Luo was not so happy.
Three days have passed, and the commander still hasn't arrived.
To this day, he enters the mine every day but has never actually dug a single ore.
Even so, the foul odor inside the mine still made him feel nauseous.
What's even more irritating is the daily taunting from the local miners.
A bunch of swarming creatures that can only live for a little over two hundred years dare to compare themselves to me...
"Payout's here! Payout's here... I heard the Commander himself came to supervise!"
"Hurry up! It's payday!"
...
Hearing this shout, Chen Luo finally perked up.
It's here! It's finally here!
At this point, he no longer cared about maintaining his pretense. Without even saying goodbye to Chen Ping'an, he ran straight towards the supervision office.
He channeled his spiritual energy into his feet, instantly leaving everyone around him behind!
Seeing Chen Luo acting as impulsively as before, Chen's father couldn't help but frown.
But he didn't say much.
It's normal for young people to envy power and influence.
As long as you are down-to-earth, having a more distant goal is also good.
Outside the mine, there is also a large plaza.
The place is now packed with people.
Although many are still trapped inside the mines, most people will work from early morning until late at night during these days of payday.
Everyone looked at the high platform ahead with envy.
There, a noble man dressed in a light blue brocade robe sat on a large chair.
What amazed everyone was not the man's clothing.
Instead, he was suspended tens of meters in the air!
In the celestial realm, even those who become immortals cannot fly.
To fly, one must undergo the baptism of the laws and reach the True Immortal realm, where one has fully condensed a body of laws. Only then can one borrow the power of the laws and fly briefly.
But to sit in the sky so casually... only a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal) who has completely mastered the laws can do it!
"That's our mining area's commander... Lord Wang Sheng!"
Chen Luo was excited, his face flushed.
As long as you show your face to this important person and make them remember you, your future will be bright.
In fact, many students in the field of immortality studies come from families with important figures.
But how could those students in the main city, high above the clouds, possibly care about someone like him who was absent without leave?
Even if they were on the same campus, it was still a mandatory rule of the Holy Empire.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even be qualified to meet these classmates, let alone the important figures in their families...
"I, Wang Sheng, have come to Mine Area 175 for two reasons: first, to inspect the area, and second, to see how everyone is doing... Seeing that everyone is full of energy, I am relieved!"
"...It is thanks to your efforts that the Empire can resist the darkness! Without you, there is no future for humanity!"
"I hereby announce that all those present today will receive a 10% bonus on their monthly salary!"
......
"Long live the Commander! Long live the Commander!"
"Long live the Star Lord..."
"Long live the Empire!"
...
This time, it was a truly enthusiastic cheer!
The leader has been in power for over a decade, and there has been a reward almost every time.
Some people painstakingly cultivate relationships, just so they can reap this reward for free when the leader arrives...
Of course, there are others like Chen Luo who are also preparing to make an appearance.
At that moment, he saw several people take out medicinal herbs and herbs and frantically gulp them down their throats.
In a mining area with tens of millions of people, there are always a few exceptionally talented individuals who have been preparing for a long time.
Seeing this, Chen Luo no longer hesitated, took out a bottle, and poured the spiritual water directly into his mouth.
He drank water and ate spirit fruit at the same time.
Salaries have already started being paid, but the Commander won't be waiting here indefinitely.
If you want to get noticed, now's the time!
Chen Luo took out the spiritual water and spiritual fruit and poured them into his mouth, immediately causing a gasp from the people around him.
Comparable to level 10 Five-Element Water, and level 9 top-grade spiritual fruit...
Each one, each bite, is probably worth hundreds of credits!
Everyone was stunned.
Chen's father, standing not far away, was in the same boat...
Also present were Chen Luo and Li Yi, who were reporting for duty for the first time and preparing to go down into the mine.
The two can be said to be childhood friends.
But to this day, Li Yi no longer recognizes this person at all.
This is a top-grade mortal-level spiritual item! And they're eating and drinking it like this...
If you had so much food, wouldn't you have already advanced to the Immortal Realm back in school if you had been more frugal with your food?
While Chen Luo was frantically absorbing and refining spiritual energy, Commander Wang Sheng was also fully aware of the changes below.
She just wanted to show off in front of him and get a good job.
Every time I go out on patrol, I always encounter these kinds of situations.
However, of these fifteen people, only about three will ultimately succeed...
Among them, Chen Luo caught his eye the most!
At the same time, in the pavilion behind the platform, several pairs of eyes also turned towards Chen Luo's direction.
"Isn't that Chen Luo? Sure enough, he's in the 175 mining area...tsk tsk tsk, eating so luxuriously, even more extravagant than me!"
"Haha... Young Master Liang, you must be joking. You only eat these things after meals, as snacks, right? Do you really think that becoming an immortal makes you like us? Let's have some fun after my uncle leaves!"
"Haha... Great! Great! I'll have him bring his sister over personally, and I'll watch from the sidelines! Okay, okay! Just thinking about it is exciting!"
