Fangzheng frowned. Zhao Datong's school was very far from Mt. One Finger. Why would the fellow seek his help? That's strange. Shouldn't he be looking for his parents, teachers, or the police? However, Fangzheng still replied, "What's the matter?"
"Master, something happened to Fang Yunjing. She's been looking for death all day, and she almost jumped off a building today.
Now, everyone was taking turns to look at her … afraid that if they were not careful, she would disappear. Now the school, the teachers, and the police have all come, but they can't do anything to her. She doesn't talk or eat at all. Even the psychiatrist is useless … I thought about it and could only think of you. Do you have any way to help her? "Zhao Datong said.
When Fangzheng heard that, he rubbed his bald head and sighed. "It's indeed a little troublesome." Zhao Datong's school was outside Black Mountain City, in the provincial capital of Jilin City. Fangzheng didn't even have enough money to travel to such a distant place!
"System, can my A Golden Millet Dream cover that far?" The only thing Fangzheng could help with was this divine power.
「 No, but if you rank up your Thaumaturgy, you can do it through another method 」 the System replied.
Fangzheng was overjoyed when he heard that. "A Golden Millet Dream can be upgraded?"
"Of course," the system replied readily.
"How do I level up?"
"It's simple, just spend some money."
Fangzheng's face darkened when he heard that. Indeed, the bastard System would only answer questions so enthusiastically when it was collecting money! However, saving someone was like putting out a fire. Fangzheng asked, "How much?"
"Not much, 500,000 is just right." The System's voice carried a hint of joy.
A dark cloud hung over Fangzheng's head. The fellow was definitely doing it on purpose! They were definitely eyeing his wallet to ask for a price! Fangzheng said angrily, "System, do you think what you are doing is interesting?"
"Not bad," the System replied.
Fangzheng rolled his eyes as though he could see the devil's tail behind the System. How was this a Buddha System? It was clearly a greedy Devil System!
Fangzheng took a deep breath and said, "I need a reasonable explanation. You can't ask for an exorbitant price."
The System said, "Asking for a sky-high price? Do you think divine abilities are cheap? Among all the divine abilities, the Celestial Eye was the most economical. However, the Celestial Eye also had the most levels. If you really wanted to upgrade the Celestial Eye to the highest level, the price would make you understand how hard it was to earn money. A Golden Millet Dream doesn't have that many levels. There are only three. You're currently at Level O, but leveling up to Level 1 still requires 500,000, leveling up to Level 2 requires 50 million, and leveling up to Level 3 requires 5 billion! "
"Five billion?!" Fangzheng rolled his eyes and nearly fainted. Even the richest person in the world only had tens of billions. Although many people had billions and trillions of assets, how many of those assets could be immediately converted into cash and squandered? Other than the country, no one else could do it!
As for Fangzheng, he was a young monk. All he had was a crappy temple. How could he earn five billion? Fangzheng did a count with his fingers. Even if he smashed his bone marrow and drank his blood, there was no hope for him in this life.
"System, isn't this too much of a scam?" asked Fangzheng indignantly.
"Otherwise? One yuan for a divine ability? The divine ability has already surpassed the understanding of this world. For such an ability, five billion is already very cheap, "the system said.
Fangzheng thought about it and felt that it made sense, but the problem was that it was really expensive.
At that moment, his WeChat vibrated again.
It was a video sent by Zhao Datong. In the video, a girl was standing on the roof. Just as she was about to jump down, a firefighter pounced on her and hugged her! The two tumbled down from the sky as the rope pulled at the firefighter. The two were sent crashing into the wall by the force. At the critical moment, the firefighter used his back to cushion her, preventing her from being injured. The distance was a little far, so he could not see her face clearly. However, he could vaguely see Fang Yunjing's figure.
Upon seeing this harrowing scene, Fangzheng sighed. The firefighter was not related to the girl in any way. At the critical moment, he had risked his life to save her. As a monk, he had been shouting about redeeming people every day, doing good deeds, and earning merit to renounce asceticism … Now that he had something to do, he was being so wishy-washy! It was really a little embarrassing.
Thinking back to the time when they had gone up the mountain, Fangzheng found it difficult to associate the girl who had jumped off the building with Fang Yunjing. She had a gentle, humble, and intellectual look to her. Once he made the connection, there was only regret …
Fangzheng said, "Forget it. Let the monastery be repaired a little later. System, the five hundred thousand is yours. Upgrade A Golden Millet Dream! "
"Are you ready?" asked the System.
Fangzheng's face darkened. "You are still fooling around at a time like this? Cut it out. Upgrade it directly! "
"Ding! Upgrading in progress. It might be a little painful … "
"Ah woo … Is this a little painful? Ah … "
On Mt. One Finger, wild birds flew around as lone wolves jumped around. Even squirrels ran out in fright to check on the situation …
"Aiyah … System, how long has it been hurting?" Fangzheng held his head as tears welled up in his eyes from the pain.
"One minute," said the System.
Fangzheng exclaimed, "One minute? Why do I feel like a year has passed? It hurts so much … System, if it hurts the next time I upgrade, please inform me ahead of time! Also, isn't it a little painful? This is a pain that can take a person's life. Do you understand? "Fangzheng held his head and emphasized the word 'ahead of time'.
"Got it. I'll remind you next time."
"Next time? Heh heh, when I pass away, I'll get you to upgrade A Golden Millet Dream, "said Fangzheng.
"Why do you have to wait until you pass away?"
"She's about to die. A minute is equivalent to a year. Isn't that good?" said Fangzheng eccentrically.
System: "A # ¥% …"
"Master, how is it? Will it work?" urged Zhao Datong.
Fangzheng calmed down as well. It was already painful. He had obtained the divine power, so saving her was more important. After organizing his thoughts, he said, "It's possible, but to help her, you need some things. I'll get someone to send it over. When the time comes, I'll tell you how to use it."
"Really? Thank you, Master! "Zhao Datong was overjoyed when he heard that.
Fangzheng smiled wryly. He did not have much confidence, but this fellow was quite honest. He actually believed him! Alright, since Zhao Datong trusted him so much, Fangzheng could not let him down. Hence, he said, "In a while, tell This Penniless Monk everything that Fang Yunjing has experienced. Remember, the more detailed, the better. This Penniless Monk will prepare some things and send them to you via express delivery. "
"Alright!" Zhao Datong replied and pulled Hu Han over.
"Datong, what are you doing? I haven't slept the entire night. I'm almost like a panda! "Hu Han looked up, his eyes bloodshot as he yelled angrily.
"Why the hell are you sleeping so early in the morning? Wake up and get high!" Zhao Datong was in a good mood as he roared with laughter.
"Get high my ass! Let me sleep! If you want to get high, I'll accompany you in the morning. Anyone who doesn't get high is a grandson! " Hu Han was truly sleepy. He had kept watch the previous night. As someone who rarely stayed up late, he felt like his entire body was about to be crippled. He did not want to do anything other than sleep. And today, it was Zhao Datong's turn to keep watch.
"Getting high tomorrow is a matter for tomorrow. However, Master has decided to take action. I think Fang Yunjing's matter can be resolved," said Zhao Datong.
Hu Han chuckled, "Master is powerful, but he's thousands of miles away. Can he fly over? More importantly, Master is not a psychologist. Do you expect him to use his pair of arms to beat Fang Yunjing into thinking things through? Stop fooling around. Let me sleep a little longer … "
With that said, Hu Han sprawled on the bed and slept soundly.
Zhao Datong's burning passion was doused with cold water by Hu Han. All that was left was a tiny spark. He actually did not have much confidence in dealing with Fangzheng. He only felt that Fangzheng was a godly person. He had gone to Fangzheng with the thought of making a Hail Mary effort.
"Forget it. Master said that he will take action. Let's see the outcome. I've tried my best. Sigh, I'll be staying up late tonight. My beautiful face … "After Zhao Datong said that, he lay down on the bed and slept!
Fangzheng also began getting busy. He immediately called Wang Yougui and got him to buy some yellow paper and cinnabar.
Before long, Wang Yougui came up. He handed a stack of yellow paper and a bag of cinnabar to Fangzheng, "Kid, what are you doing?"
Fangzheng chuckled, "This Penniless Monk is just a monk. What else can I do? Draw talismans when I have nothing to do. "
"Draw talismans? Is that useful? The other monasteries also give talismans as gifts, but I've never seen them used. From the way I see it, it's just for peace of mind, right? "
Fangzheng smiled, "Peace of mind is also a form of etiquette. Patron Wang, why take it so seriously?"
Wang Yougui felt that what Fangzheng said made sense. "Alright then. Give me one when you are done. I want a Protective Talisman."
"I don't know," Fangzheng answered straightforwardly.
"You don't know? Isn't … Isn't this the simplest talisman? Even the traveling Daoists who occasionally come here know it. You don't? Then what do you know? "Wang Yougui was stunned.
"This Penniless Monk only knows how to draw talismans. It's hard to say if it's useful or not. I just learned it two days ago. Once I master it, This Penniless Monk will give you one. "Fangzheng did not wish to explain further. It was impossible to explain the matter clearly.
Wang Yougui thought nothing of it. He only thought that Fangzheng was drawing talismans out of boredom. He smiled, "Alright, give me one when you master it. By the way, practice your calligraphy when you have nothing to do. Your calligraphy is really nice! Anyone who comes to my house will praise it when they see your couplet. Next time, write a big one for me. I'll frame it and hang it up. Who knows how many years later, it will be worth a lot of money. "
Fangzheng chuckled and thought nothing of it. His calligraphy was nice but compared to the real Dragon Buddha Epithet, it was just a pile of shit. Therefore, Fangzheng agreed without a thought. At the same time, he said, "Patron Wang, I have something to mail out in a while. Can you help me deliver it?"
"Do you provide water?" Wang Yougui did not answer and instead asked.
Fangzheng smiled, "Yes."
"Then there's no problem. Aiyah, when your monastery is expanded, I'll come stay here when I have nothing to do. Hehe, that rice …" Wang Yougui had a look of anticipation.
