Chapter 222 Ceremony
It smells really good.
This was how Zhang Jiahui felt when he pinched his nose and took the first bite of the ghost energy polymer.
I feel comfortable and warm all over, and I can feel some power surging deep in my soul. A strong sense of satisfaction is stimulating my heart. It is a feeling called being touched.
This is Zhang Jiahui’s second feeling, satisfaction!
Unparalleled satisfaction!
“Great, this is so delicious!”
Zhang Jiahui was so moved that he shed tears, and his whole body glowed with a faint fluorescence.
He did not make a breakthrough, but it was certain that his cultivation would increase. This magical scene was broadcast live to the netizens in the Everbright Live Broadcast Room.
Zhang Jiahui then started to eat voraciously, and as he ate frantically, everyone realized that this was definitely useful.
In an instant, everyone in the live broadcast room was shocked.
[Fuck, it really works! ]
[This must be useful. Look at Brother Hui's expression. It's obvious that it's useful, so he looks so happy. Damn, it's exactly the same as my expression when I first started practicing.]
[Girl upstairs, I think you typed a wrong word. ]
[Oh my god, it turns out this ghost can really improve my cultivation! ]
[Oh my god, so many ghosts are rushing down Beiliang Mountain. If I rush over now, can I catch one too!? ]
[Buy ghosts at high prices, buy ghosts at high prices! ! ! ]
In today's world, what is the most important thing, money, beauty, or status?
No, neither!
strength!
Only strong strength is the most important thing, and only increasingly strong strength is the foundation.
If you have strength, you will have bread and you will have dreams.
Without strength, you are just an ant, trash, a waste that may be easily killed by others while walking on the street!
The theory of strength is rooted in the heart of every modern person!
At this moment, many people who still had concerns took decisive action after seeing this situation.
As the saying goes, one step faster leads to faster steps. No one wants to fall behind others on the path of cultivation!
The five ghost gates in China are wide open, and some people who have the advantage of location have begun to contact friends to team up and go out to catch food.
Don’t think that what everyone said before about eating ghosts is disgusting. When the fact that eating ghosts can make you stronger becomes true, no one minds becoming a foodie!
If this ghost can really improve its strength, then the Chinese are fully capable of eating the ghost to the point of turning it into an endangered species!!!
Never underestimate the heart of a foodie!
You know, hairy eggs, snail rice noodle, stinky tofu, soy milk, salty tofu pudding, these things are also eaten by people...
After Zhang Jiahui finished eating, he looked towards the live broadcast room, then at the screen, nodded solemnly, and said, "It was a smooth sailing this time... This live broadcast ends here, I have to be busy next."
“…”
Capital city.
Chen Xiaoqian was also watching the live broadcast.
When the screen in the live broadcast room went black, Cheng Xiaoqian put down her phone, leaned back in her chair and began to think.
"A ghost?"
"If it is really beneficial to spiritual practice, then it would be a good thing..."
"Boss Lu should have already started to block Beiliang Mountain... Alas, if I were still in my previous position, I would be in trouble now..."
Chen Xiaoqian sighed and felt sorry for herself for a minute.
After the battle outside Pattaya, because of the increased flexibility in dealing with the revival of spiritual energy, the small team that Lu Yuanfeng was in was disbanded, and all the outstanding members of the team were assigned to different important positions.
Because of her strong strength, Chen Xiaoqian was tasked with handling coastal defense matters.
If nothing unexpected happens, war is coming.
However, it is not a war with foreign forces, but a crisis from under the deep sea.
Is the land dangerous?
Danger.
Ghosts and spirits abound, gods run rampant, and there are all kinds of mutated beasts and plants...
But compared to the vast ocean, the dangers on land are nothing.
You know... the ocean is now in a state where even medium-sized ships cannot sail safely!
Yesterday, there were even several incidents of marine monsters coming ashore and attacking and injuring people.
Fortunately, the person who was attacked was a fairly powerful practitioner. If it was an ordinary practitioner, someone might have been killed.
Most of the marine beasts mutate naturally due to the stimulation of spiritual energy, while some mutate due to the influence from other worlds.
Including but not limited to the major secret realms, the mountain and sea world, the dark and strange world, the eight million gods' rules, the Cthulhu world, etc...
In one word, fierce!
Now that there is another hell, it is foreseeable that there must be many ghost gates in the ocean, and a large number of ghosts will enter the earth through the ghost gates in the ocean...
"God bless, I just hope there won't be any trouble!"
Chen Xiaoqian has never been in charge of any department properly. This is the first time. Although the power is not great, it is real power. She has no confidence in her ability to manage things. She just hopes for world peace and that nothing will happen!
There is a saying that goes, if there are no accidents, there will definitely be accidents.
“Boom boom boom.”
A middle-aged woman knocked on Chen Xiaoqian's office door.
Chen Xiaoqian turned her head and said calmly, "Come in."
The middle-aged woman entered the office and said politely, "You are Director Chen, right? I am Li Yan from Xinghai Entertainment Company. Nice to meet you."
Li Yan said as she handed over a business card. The position on it was the general manager of Xinghai Entertainment Company.
When Chen Xiaoqian heard that the other party was from some entertainment company, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why the people from the entertainment company came to her, so she asked in confusion: "What do you want?"
Li Yan said, "Director Chen, it's like this. There's only one week left before the annual Oscars ceremony. This year, several Chinese films nominated were produced by our Xinghai Entertainment Company. The journey to Hollywood is long, and there are also strange beasts troubling us. Therefore, we applied to the higher-ups, hoping to arrange a group of official practitioners to escort our company's people to Hollywood."
Chen Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment before she said, "Escort? Since the journey is so dangerous, there's no need to go. Why risk your life like this?"
Private sailing?
Boy, this is indeed what she is in charge of now.
The enlargement of the Earth did not increase the distance between the continents, but instead shortened the distance between them...
But there is definitely danger.
Li Yan's face changed and she said, "Director Chen, you are not in our industry. You don't understand. If we can really win an Oscar-level award, it will be a lifelong pursuit for our film and television company, the actors and directors below. It is art and even more so, faith!"
Chen Xiaoqian's eyes revealed a trace of contempt: "Faith? What kind of faith can you have in the entertainment industry? Isn't it just money?"
Li Yan didn't expect that Chen Xiaoqian would speak so directly, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Of course, she also understood that Chen Xiaoqian had the right to say such things. Not to mention that she was just talking about her, what could she do if she was slapped twice?
Nowadays, there has been a serious stratification among the practitioners in the country. The practitioners in the first echelon can fight against hundreds or even thousands of people at once. They are extremely strong!
As a weakling, Li Yan is very self-aware.
Chen Xiaoqian in front of him was so young yet he could sit in the position of director of the Magic City Ocean Bureau, she must be no ordinary person!
She could only smile and say, "You're right, we want money, but this time, we're going abroad to attend the Oscars, and we're also going to win glory for our country. In addition, our application has been approved, you can call to confirm, I hope you can stop worrying and arrange a good escort team for us."
Chen Xiaoqian glanced at Li Yan, walked away, dialed a number, and said, "Protect the people from Xinghai Entertainment Company to go to Hollywood. Has this been approved?"
A man's voice rang out over there: "They are trying to win glory for the country and promote national culture, so I can't refuse. Of course, it's up to you to arrange for protection. After all, the defense pressure in our country is not small now, and there is a shortage of people everywhere. Our masters don't have time to go to Hollywood."
"I understand."
After Chen Xiaoqian finished speaking, she hung up the phone and came to Li Yan: "I already understand what you said. Don't worry, I will arrange a team of practitioners for you to ensure your safety on the journey."
Li Yan immediately said, "Then I'll trouble you, Director Chen. We will leave in three days. I will contact you then."
Chen Xiaoqian responded, and then Li Yan left the office.
Chen Xiaoqian called Wei Hu and said, "Huzi, please help me find a few people. I need to escort a group of people to Hollywood to attend the Oscars ceremony."
Wei Hu was surprised and asked, "Going to Hollywood? Isn't it too dangerous to go to such a far place?"
Chen Xiaoqian explained: "There is definitely danger. So, I will give you 20 spirit stones. As for the number of people, you can just find two or three. Also, if they are really in danger, let them ensure their own safety. This time we are not protecting any important people, so if they die, they die."
Wei Huya said with a pained face, "Twenty spirit stones? I'm afraid we can't invite any powerful people, and we have to go to a place as far away as Hollywood. I don't think anyone would be willing to go abroad for twenty spirit stones."
Chen Xiaoqian said: "Spiritual stones are still rare goods after all. They can greatly improve the speed of cultivation. Now they are officially controlled items. There are not many of them in circulation outside. There is a price but no market. If they are released, they will be enough to recruit a few powerful folk masters."
Wei Hu was silent for a moment before he said, "Civilian practitioners have almost no practical experience. If they go to a place as far away as Hollywood and encounter danger, they will only die."
Chen Xiaoqian also realized this and said, "Yeah, isn't that cheating people? How about this, you don't have to pay for the spirit stones, you can find a group of criminals and set some restrictions on them, such as placing a micro-bomb in their heart or brain, and let them protect these people to Hollywood. If they are really in danger, they are criminals themselves, so they will die if they die."
Practitioners commit crimes no matter how hard it is forbidden.
Even though Li Zang had suppressed it once before, there will always be people who learn to be bad... and the evil things they do are so heinous that they don't deserve death!
Wei Hu wondered, "But where are the people from the entertainment company?"
Chen Xiaoqian said calmly, "They volunteered to take risks for their beliefs. Nowadays, China is facing huge challenges every minute and every second, and soldiers are dying in various dangers all the time. They still want to go to Hollywood to attend an awards ceremony, and they even asked the people above to pressure me so that I have to arrange people for them."
"Since they are so great and willing to take risks for their beliefs and sacrifice themselves for art, they should bear all the consequences themselves."
"I was originally thinking of spending some spirit stones to have you arrange for a few civilian practitioners. Now that you've said that, I feel that even the lives of civilian practitioners are precious, so how can we sacrifice them? Let's just arrange for those criminals to go!"
Wei Hu took a deep breath and said, "Isn't this too cruel? What if they use public opinion to attack you afterwards?"
Chen Xiaoqian immediately laughed: "What's there to be afraid of? If they can come back alive, it proves that they are not in danger. How can they attack me?
If they can't come back alive and don't even have the chance to make a sound, why should I be afraid? Everything is their own fault!"
Wei Hu listened to the words of his girlfriend, with whom he had just established a relationship, and asked in surprise, "Why are you so resentful today? Is it because the people from the entertainment company have a bad attitude?"
Chen Xiaoqian said coldly: "That's not the case, it's just that before they came, I just watched the live broadcast of the anchor named Zhang Jiahui."
"Tell me, why are there always people who don't care about their lives and insist on seeking death? Even though it was Boss Lu who let the anchor go out and live a normal life, and even tacitly allowed him to continue to be an anchor."
“But I believe that Boss Lu did not let him go to Beiliang Mountain to seek death. That method might cause many people to take the initiative to hunt ghosts, and there might be huge casualties. Not everyone has the strength of Zhang Jiahui. If this is not causing trouble, then what is it?”
Wei Hu was silent for a moment, then laughed dryly and said, "The boss may have his own considerations..."
The world will change, people will change, and policies will change.
The increase in the number of practitioners, their growing desires, the beginning of the power gap between practitioners, the suppression of the weak by the strong, and various other situations have put domestic pressure on the verge of reaching its limit.
Many weak countries have collapsed under various pressures long ago, and even declared a state of anarchy and chaos.
That is not something that the previous social system can control steadily. It requires constant adjustment of new policies. Change requires a process, and this process is bound to be turbulent...
If it is not dealt with now, it will be like a dormant volcano. Once it erupts, big problems will arise sooner or later!
Allowing the public to hunt ghosts may be an attempt...
Wei Hu probably guessed it, so he just said it out loud.
After listening to Wei Hu's analysis, Chen Xiaoqian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, this thing has no chance. An inexplicable entertainment company came to me and asked me to arrange for official practitioners to escort them to Hollywood to attend the awards ceremony, and they also put pressure on me. Do you think I can be happy?"
"Are they worthy of being escorted by our soldiers? You can just arrange death row prisoners and set micro-bombs in their brains to send them off."
Wei Hu knew Chen Xiaoqian's temper. Especially after she came back from Pattaya, her views on people and things changed a lot. When she saw something she didn't like, she wanted to take action and tear the other person apart.
This is the change in mentality of the strong.
Even a soldier who has undergone rigorous training will undergo such a change, let alone ordinary people.
If an ordinary person gains powerful strength, how arrogant he will become...
Although Wei Hu felt that Chen Xiaoqian's behavior seemed a bit too much, he didn't want to cause trouble for his girlfriend because of Xinghai Entertainment Company.
After all, they had just confirmed their relationship and were in the honeymoon period. If Chen Xiaoqian was really made unhappy and they broke up, it would be a waste of time and effort.
Therefore, Wei Hu assured: "Okay, leave it to me. Isn't it just finding a few cannon fodders who won't be a pity if they die? No problem at all."
After listening to Wei Hu's words, Chen Xiaoqian hung up the phone, and she felt a little better.
