Chapter 231 Eating Rabbit (4600 words, first update, not sure if there will be a second update, I will try)
A phantom appeared in the dark basement that was originally empty, but in just one or two seconds, it turned from phantom to real.
"Master! How did you do it?" Yuzu flew up from the altar with a silver-white light.
This is so surprising. The master is just a fourth-level magician. How could he use alchemical items to teleport?
Following the design plan given by Youzi, Fang Yu added a teleportation function to the Arcane Map, then went to the Mirror of Fear to practice a round of Baphomet training before switching back to Haixi.
The Mirror of Fear is a training ground on the first floor of the Lorin Tower dedicated to Buffy training. In Fang Yu's opinion, it is a relatively real haunted house.
The illusionary attacks inside were quite interesting, allowing Fang Yu to witness the phantoms of those monsters and demons in the Great Arcane Age that had long since disappeared.
One of the monsters, called the ghost woman, really scared Fang Yu.
A hunched body, a wrinkled face, crazy eyes, dry and dirty fingers, and black, sharp nails.
The most terrifying thing is that sinister laughter.
All these reminded him of the crazy old woman who scared him the most when he was a child.
Before he was six years old, Fang Yu was most afraid of an old crazy woman at the door of his house. The old lady was already in her sixties at the time and was extremely crazy. She wore tattered clothes every day, her face was full of wrinkles, and she would cry and laugh from time to time.
The crazy old woman has no children, and the little kids at the door are afraid of her as if she were a ghost.
To stop children from crying at night, if the child is disobedient, parents just need to scare the child by saying "If you cry again, the old crazy woman will come", and the child will definitely stop crying. It works every time.
Later, when Fang Yu was a teenager, he found out that this old lady was also a miserable person. She also had normal mental states at times. Sometimes when she saw children waving at her, she actually liked the children and wanted to give them fruit.
The training effect of the Mirror of Fear is not much different from the effect of a single demon girl helping with training.
After returning to Haixi, Fang Yuxian hid an arcane-marked astral crystal in the basement.
Then he took Yuzu in his backpack and flew two or three kilometers away. He opened the arcane map and saw a small light spot appear at the location of Hanning Mansion on the map.
Fang Yu held the Arcane Map and input 60 units of magic power into it. Immediately afterwards, he felt himself enter a state where he could not distinguish between time and space.
It seemed like there was nothingness here, and everything around was like the vortex I had seen before, with no way to tell the colors, but countless tiny meteors were passing by me.
At the same time, there seemed to be an invisible force constantly impacting his spirit and will. After just a short while, Fang Yu felt dizzy and about to vomit.
Fang Yu could sense a faint layer of protection surrounding his consciousness, protecting his spirit and will. If this layer didn't exist, he was certain he could only hold out for a second at most before his soul was shattered and his spirit would completely become part of the astral realm.
Entering the star realm!
Fang Yu suddenly understood why ordinary mages would be completely lost after entering the astral realm.
Apart from the spiritual erosion I just felt, the most terrible thing is getting lost.
In this world without up, down, left, or right, where he had completely lost his direction and had no sense of time and space, if it were not for the flashing light that had been marked with the arcane mark, he would not be able to find any exit or entrance at all.
Fang Yu concentrated his mental power on the flash, and in just a moment, Fang Yu reappeared in the open space next to the altar in the basement.
Yuzu was scared to death.
It had just made preparations to continue its slumber in the astral realm.
Its body is astral crystal, which is not afraid of the astral erosion, but that place is a void, with nothing. Staying in the astral realm is like indefinite confinement, even more cruel than life imprisonment.
What’s more, The Empress of China has 96 episodes, and he has only watched 35 episodes, so he hasn’t finished watching it yet!
If Fang Yu died, he would not be able to replenish his magic crystals and would fall into a deep sleep again in no time.
But who could have imagined that this master, who was only a fourth-level wizard, could actually resist the spiritual erosion of the astral realm, successfully find the beacon, and bring it back!
Although in the main material world, the distance is only two or three kilometers, but for the astral realm, it is no different from teleporting thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers.
The teleportation distance will not affect the mana consumption.
The Astral Plane completely overlaps with the Material Plane, but in the Astral Plane, there is no concept of distance.
It's like a solid-state drive that records countless files. Is the distance between files 1.dat and 2.dat necessarily closer than the distance between 1.dat and 9999.dat?
Not necessarily?
This short-distance teleportation means that as long as Fang Yu throws the crystal with the corresponding arcane mark anywhere on Blue Star, he can teleport there later through this arcane map!
Unless he switched to the main plane.
This is really amazing, no, it's shocking!
Yuzu flew up and down, completely confused as to what was going on.
Fang Yu laughed triumphantly.
Ever since his last upgrade, when he absorbed the remaining divinity of the God of Desire, he knew that he had initially acquired the ability to resist the spiritual erosion of the astral realm.
Now I have verified it and it is indeed true.
Fang Yu currently earns around 70,000 spiritual points every month. With the export subsidies he provided to the coffin industry in Yanzhai Town, these companies are now very motivated and the monthly export volume is constantly rising.
Two of the companies have already begun developing the markets in Miami and the Philippines, and just last month they shipped more than 3,000 coffins to Brazil and Ethiopia.
The Mai market is currently difficult to penetrate. The main reason why coffins from Xinzhou are exported to Japan is that Japanese cremation usually involves cremating the coffin together with the body. The first requirement for a coffin is that it must be lightweight and flammable. Xinzhou is a producer of paulownia, a fast-growing wood with low density, flammability, and low price, making it ideal for the Japanese market.
But it is different in Miami. Most people are buried directly in coffins. If they use wooden coffins, they often choose hardwood such as walnut and cherry wood. A large part of them also choose metal coffins.
However, as long as subsidies continue, it is only a matter of time before Yanzhai coffins enter the Maiguo market.
Once economies of scale are established, industrial clusters will form, encompassing all product categories, not just those in which they have a particular strength. These coffin factories will then spontaneously explore new markets. Even if they import raw materials from outside and don't use local paulownia, they can still leverage their price advantage to enter the Miami market.
We will send a few consulting companies to conduct a market research on these coffin companies in Malaysia to help them break out of Yazhou and go global as soon as possible.
In this way, if his monthly spiritual income can reach 100,000, it is equivalent to him being able to add ten teleportation points to himself every month.
The arcane map now has three pages, one is the main plane, one is the Blue Star, and the other is the Lorin Tower demiplane.
Fang Yu thought about it, and then went to the Star Realm to exchange for ten Star Realm crystals. He returned to the Lorin Tower and bought six Guardian Type 7 Amulets from the Piedmont Alchemy Company. He went to the alchemy laboratory to use the instruments and embedded an arcane crystal on each amulet.
The Guardian Type 7 Amulet can change its appearance according to one's wishes, and Fang Yu plans to give one to everyone around him.
After the Star Crystal was inlaid, if anything happened to them, he could rush over immediately.
Lao Deng already has one, and he will just need to find an opportunity to embed the star crystal in it when the time comes.
Wang Xiaoya, Tang Yufei, Lu Jiayan, Chen Shuyao, grandpa, grandma, Xu Lesheng, three adopted sons, Tong Yongshan, Mrs. Zhao, Hu Jiangbo, Han Xiao... Roughly speaking, it doesn't seem to be enough.
Forget it, the three adopted sons can be put aside for now. Nothing will happen to them anyway.
As for Jiang Nanzhen, she doesn't need that. Her life essence has now become that of a supernatural being, but it has been sealed by Fang Yu.
Moreover, since Jiang Nanzhen also has a trace of divinity, and this trace of divinity was separated from Fang Yu, Fang Yu can also sense Jiang Nanzhen's position in the star realm, and can locate her without the star realm crystal.
In another half year, the spiritual energy accumulated will be enough to arm everyone around me.
By the way, Wang Xiaoya went to Miami and it will probably take more than ten days for her to come back. Well, that should be enough time.
Ask her for her address and send her an air express!
Fang Yu did what he said and made an appointment online for DHL's DHL Express 12:00 service. As long as the item arrived in Los Santos, no matter how many days it took to clear customs or whether it was delivered to Wang Xiaoya, he would have the location of the item in Miami and could send it directly there.
DHL Express 12:00 is an international express delivery service of DHL, which promises to deliver the goods before 12:00 on the second working day after the goods arrive.
It’s not 12:00 the next day after shipment, but the second working day after the goods arrive in Miami.
The best thing about this service is not how fast the delivery is, but how fast the customs clearance is. Generally, the customs in Malaysia will not conduct a very detailed inspection.
The only drawback is that it is expensive. The shipping cost of one amulet is more than 1,500 Da Zhou coins.
After making an appointment for DHL's door-to-door service, Fang Yu prepared to pick up Tang Yufei and put the amulet on her first.
The blessing I gave her this morning should have taken effect, right?
There were a total of twelve people interviewed today, and Tang Yufei drew the fourth one.
When the first three candidates were interviewed, Tang Yufei was so nervous that her hands and feet were cold.
After waiting for a long time for her to come on stage, Tang Yufei knocked on the door before entering the examination room. After being told to come in, she pushed the door open and entered. Just as she bowed and was about to introduce herself, she was stunned when she saw the chief examiner from the central government.
This seems to be... Fang Yu's uncle?
"Candidate No. 4, you may introduce yourself."
Chen Xi said into the microphone with an expressionless face.
Didn't recognize him? Not bad.
Tang Yufei forced herself to calm down and said, "Good morning, examiners. I am candidate number four today."
Except for Chen Xi, the other six examiners were all dazzled by Tang Yufei's appearance.
The deputy examiner read out the test questions, and after hearing them, Tang Yufei needed to answer them one by one.
A cartoon question about the prisoner's dilemma, asking you to express your views based on social phenomena.
A practical question: carry out activities within two organizations for one theme and describe one activity in detail.
A question about interpersonal communication. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li are both new employees and live in the same dormitory. Xiao Li is jealous that Xiao Zhang has a better job, so he mocks Xiao Zhang every day and asks Xiao Zhang what he should do.
None of the three questions are unconventional, but correspondingly, it is not easy to stand out.
All seven interviewers had poker faces and it was impossible to get any feedback.
By the third question, Tang Yufei had already prepared a draft, which was about the same old things like different positions training different abilities, establishing correct values, and paying more attention to Xiao Li in life.
This kind of answer may not get a high score, but it will definitely not lose too many points.
Just as she was about to answer, Tang Yufei hesitated.
"I have always disliked conflicts with others since I was a child. If it were the old me, if I couldn't change dormitories, I would probably just endure it." Tang Yufei was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and spoke softly.
Then, Tang Yufei raised her head, her eyes sparkling: "If it were me now, I wouldn't tolerate her. I would tell her directly that she doesn't like me, and I don't like her either."
"But liking something and working on it are two different things."
"Even if you don't like me, you can still do your job well and serve the people. And I am also using my efforts and abilities at work to prove that I am worthy of the organization's recognition."
"I think this mutual dislike is actually a kind of healthy competition that can make each other better. It allows both of us to make greater contributions to our country and its people."
"But if Xiao Li can't adjust her mindset and even brings her emotions into work, causing tension in the team and affecting work results, I won't confront her directly. But I will inform my leader of the risks, and I believe he will intervene to mediate."
"Dear examiners, I have finished answering." After answering, Tang Yufei looked at the time. There was still more than a minute left before the 15-minute interview.
Seeing two of the examiners shaking their heads slightly, Tang Yufei smiled slightly.
Even if you don’t get a high score, it doesn’t matter.
At least it's a true expression of myself.
Tang Yufei stood up and was about to bow and leave, but she heard Chen Xi, who had been silent, say something.
"If you really face this situation, how will you relieve the psychological pressure without easing the relationship with Xiao Li?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other examiners couldn't help but look at Chen Xi.
Tang Yufei was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "I might call my boyfriend and scold Xiao Li."
The seven examiners, stenographers, and supervisors present couldn't help but laugh a bit or two.
When the time was up, Chen Xi signaled Tang Yufei that she could leave.
"This girl has a good image. Her answers to the first two questions sounded a bit like those from a training institution, but the last question, haha... was quite unique." One of the female examiners took two sips of water, chuckled, and said casually.
Chen Xi also took a sip of water, his face expressionless: "It's quite realistic, give it a rating."
The interview scores will be announced on the spot after everyone’s interview. All candidates who have finished the interview must go to the waiting room to wait.
Before the exam, she was nervous when she saw the candidates in front of her entering the examination room. After the exam, she was even more nervous when she saw other candidates coming back after the exam. One of the girls almost fainted due to excessive nervousness, which scared the staff.
It was not until half past twelve that the door of the waiting room creaked open, and a uniformed staff member posted an A4 paper signed by the chief examiner, deputy examiner and supervisor on the bulletin board on the wall.
Everyone rushed over.
Tang Yufei easily found her name among them.
83 points! 2nd place!
Tang Yufei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She ranked first in the written test, 7 points higher than the second place. That is to say, even if her interview score was fifth, as long as she did not fall behind the fourth place by 8 points, she could ensure a top four overall score.
Now she is in the second interview stage. As for this national exam, as long as she can pass the final review and physical examination, she will definitely be admitted!
Tang Yufei took the cell phone and ran out of the Pingjiang Official Tax Office, jumping up and down with a look of joy on her face. Just as she was about to call Fang Yu, she felt a vicious gaze staring at her. She turned her head and saw only a middle-aged woman in uniform turning around hurriedly.
It seems to be the female interviewer just now?
Tang Yufei didn't take it seriously. She ran two steps to the side of the road and saw Fang Yu's car.
"How is it?" Fang Yu opened the car door from the inside and pulled Tang Yufei up.
"Second!" Tang Yufei raised her right hand and made a V sign next to her ear.
Fang Yu suddenly remembered the rabbit ears she wore on her head in WOMB.
Be good, little rabbit, open the door, open it quickly, I want to come in.
No, no, I won’t open it. I won’t open it until my mother comes back, and I won’t open it no matter who comes.
Mom is not back yet, Dad is back, open the door for Dad!
"I'm so hungry. What should we eat?" Tang Yufei was in a good mood. She fastened her seat belt and hugged Fang Yu's arm tightly.
"Eat rabbit." Fang Yu licked his lips.
