Jhonas had been very proud recently. It seemed like he had been poisoned by Wang Zhong's diligence as he stayed in the same dorm as Wang Zhong. As a result, Flying Pig was especially diligent in his studies. After all, he was from the Illusion race and was a natural-born equipment refinery expert. With this hard work, he accidentally squeezed into the top 10 in the Equipment Refinery Hall.
His father was full of praise for this, and his uncle, the patriarch, had even specially sent him a letter of encouragement. His father was so happy that he doubled his pocket money and study reserve funds. What was this called? In Jhonas's words, this could be described in five words: extremely satisfying! Impressive!
"To be honest," Flying Pig pretended in front of Lao Wang again. "Boss, it was a pity that you destroyed that flying sword back then. No matter what, it was the first flying sword personally forged by the future Equipment Refinery Grandmaster Jhonas. It had considerable commemorative value! Boss, I'll bet with you that 100 years later … No! At most 50 years later, you can sell the flying sword that you broke back then for at least 10,000 Gold Star Stones! "
Lao Wang was very calm. He simply looked at his introductory pill studies while quietly listening to Flying Pig's pretense. He had to get used to this kind of life. Lao Wang simply treated Jhonas as a noisy machine to test his concentration.
"Tsk. Boss, look at you. You're talking to me, but you're ignoring me. Are you in a bad mood?" How could Jhonas be satisfied with a one-man show? He moved closer. "Speaking of which, could it be related to the superintendent looking for you yesterday? Boss, Boss, why exactly did the superintendent look for you yesterday? Just tell me. Look at how curious I am. I promise I won't tell anyone! "
Lao Wang could not even be bothered to look at him. He stared at the book and was definitely multitasking. Then, he casually said, "She asked me to change shifts."
"Change … Change shifts?" Jhonas's mind was filled with question marks. "What do you mean? You're not in the Pill Refinery Hall anymore? "
"Yes."
"Damn …" Jhonas's expression was full of sympathy. "No, why? Boss, you didn't do anything wrong! You've only been in the Pill Refinery Hall for a few days, and you're already sent back? Do the Heavenly Shell race not like you? Aren't you on good terms with that princess …? "
"…" Lao Wang finally shifted his gaze away from the pill books for a few seconds and looked at Jhonas helplessly.
"No, no!" Jhonas did not agree and was even more agitated than Lao Wang. He could not hear about being eliminated. When he heard this, he felt as if he had experienced it himself. "We have to think of a way. How difficult is it to enter the Pill Refinery Hall? He couldn't just leave like that! Furthermore, you can't return to the Combat Cultivation Hall. Then, you will have wasted this year … Boss, don't worry! Your problem is my problem. Let's figure out what happened first. Boss, wait for me, I'll … "
"I'm not going back to the Combat Cultivation Hall …" Lao Wang looked sympathetically at the fatty who was jumping up and down. He understood this fellow too well. Thus, when he returned yesterday, he did not mention anything about the superintendent as he was afraid of giving him a blow. However, when he saw how excited he was, he had no choice but to say it. "Do you know that there is a Celestial Honors Class in the Heavenly Gates?"
"What bullshit, huh … Celestial Honors Class?"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze in an instant.
Flying Pig opened his mouth wide and only squeezed out a few syllables after a long while. "Celestial — Celestial Honors Class?"
"That's what the superintendent said. She wants me to join." Lao Wang nodded his head. "It sounds rather good."
Jhonas instantly lost his temper.
The Celestial Honors Class had never been made public in the Heavenly Gates, but there had been people from various races who had stayed in the Heavenly Gates for generations. They were very familiar with the various general knowledge in the Heavenly Gates. Furthermore, as long as it was a civilization that was famous in the Land, even if it was a weak race like the Illusion race, who had not produced one or two geniuses who had entered the Celestial Honors Class? Thus, this group of second generations with backgrounds from various great civilizations still knew about the existence of the Celestial Honors Class.
It was known as the genius concentration camp and the Freakish Club! Moreover, unlike the tradition of opening a new class in the Heavenly Gates every few years, the Celestial Honors Class only had one class in each era. Those who could be selected were the top geniuses of each era, and they were usually at least at the Gold Core stage! For example, in this batch, Celeste, Tsarisiya, Lilith, Kakadinme, and the others could be considered rare top geniuses from various races. However, they might not even have the qualifications to enter the Celestial Honors Class. If a Solid Core wanted to enter … It was difficult!
Void Core … He had never heard of this before.
How was this a 'class'? This was simply a gathering of freakish geniuses from previous eras. As long as one could survive and graduate from the Celestial Honors Class, three or four out of ten would be able to ascend. The remaining six or seven would either be giants in the Land or supreme existences who could move freely in the Dimensional World. None of them were ordinary.
Wang Zhong was merely a Void Core, but he was able to enter the Celestial Honors Class?
The Flying Pig's gaze changed. Then, his eyes turned red, and he started to cry as he wished. He cried in a mess …
"Boss!" He hugged Lao Wang's thigh. "Once I'm Boss, I'll be Boss for a lifetime! Brother, this is fate! "
Lao Wang did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was not from the Celestial Honors Class, so there was no such thing as fate. "Your snot!"
"Brother! In the future, you will be my biological brother! " Jhonas flung his snot onto the door. "I knew it. I knew it from the first day of school. Brother, you are exceptionally talented, handsome, confident, and elegant. You are loved by everyone and loved by everyone. My admiration for you is like a torrential heavenly river that never ends …"
"You sound like you know a lot," said Lao Wang with a smile. Even though the superintendent had mentioned the Celestial Honors Class yesterday, she had not explained much. Thus, he could take this opportunity to ask Jhonas. "Tell me, what information do you know about the Celestial Honors Class?"
However, the Flying Pig howled for at least half an hour before calming down. He could not help it as he was too excited. To Jhonas, the Celestial Honors Class was something that only existed in legends. He had never thought that his roommate and his boss would become a member. This simply made Jhonas feel as if he had been basked in divine light.
"In any case, those who graduate from the Celestial Honors Class are all famous figures in the history of the Land. They are all Gold Cores, and there are no exceptions! Accumulating their Gold Core, which is an exceptional difficulty for countless practitioners in the Land, simply does not exist for the freakish geniuses from the Celestial Honors Class … Furthermore, many people from the Celestial Honors Class have ascended. A batch of Celestial Honors Class students will span an entire era, but I heard that there are only about 100 people at most. The conditions to be selected are too harsh. There is no need to talk about natural endowments and strength. More importantly, one has to have status and background … "
Jhonas's eyes lit up, and he continued to speak nonstop. Some knew for sure, while others were just guessing. In the history of the Illusion race, a super genius had entered the Celestial Honors Class, and all the information regarding the Celestial Honors Class had been passed down from then on. Every generation of pupils from the Illusion race had strived to enter the Celestial Honors Class as their goal. However, it was obvious that only one person had appeared in the entire history of the Illusion race, and no one else had been able to successfully replicate him. "… Also, also, I heard that those who enter the Celestial Honors Class are at least Solid Cores. Void Cores can enter, but I have never heard of this before …"
When he heard Flying Pig praise the Celestial Honors Class to the skies, Lao Wang might not believe all of it. However, combined with what the superintendent had said yesterday, he believed most of it.
He felt slightly pressured. The superintendent had said that even though the Celestial Honors Class would not be eliminated, it would definitely not be easy. According to what Jhonas had said, under normal circumstances, only super geniuses among the Solid Cores had the possibility of entering the Celestial Honors Class. They were a realm higher than him, and they were geniuses among geniuses. Their strength was definitely stronger than his current strength, but even so, more than half of them perished in the Celestial Honors Class. Of course, he had many life-saving techniques, but which freakish genius who could enter the Celestial Honors Class did not have a few life-saving techniques?
To him, the Celestial Honors Class was a source of good fortune, but it was also a severe test.
"Boss, Boss!" Jhonas moved closer. "Also, it is said that all the cultivation resources for the members of the Celestial Honors Class are provided by the Heavenly Gates for free! Tsk, look, I haven't had the time to buy the ingredients for the level-6 pill yesterday. How about … "
"That's a different matter." Lao Wang did not know whether to laugh or cry. This fellow's calculations were too quick. Lao Wang knew that Jhonas was exaggerating when he said that the Celestial Honors Class would provide all the cultivation resources for free. Everything had an upper limit. For example, Senior Lavel was definitely a member of the Celestial Honors Class. If everything was provided for free, she would not have to be so careful for a portion of level-4 refinery ingredients.
"Oh? The Earth civilization has advanced to level-4.5? Is this an appointment from the Heavenly Gates? "The first person to see this appointment was Dhomiguer.
After coming to the divine territory, the Mizobudapi people were doing much better than the Earthlings. Of course, they had experienced some difficulties in adapting in the beginning, but after all, the overall strength of their civilization was far above that of the Earth and was extremely close to some powerful level-5 civilizations. Back then, if the Holy Saint Teacher had not caused trouble, they would have entered the divine territory a long time ago. After a longer period of time and more adequate preparations, they would definitely have adapted better than the Earthlings who were in a hurry.
Furthermore, the Mizobudapi Emperor had a few good friends in the Star Alliance. As the most capable ceremonial god under the emperor, Dhomiguer had obtained a job in the Star Alliance region. Now, he had accumulated his Void Core and had just been promoted. This was an honor and was similar to a "civil servant". Although he was at the bottom, he had a lot of face. He was in charge of the management of a civilization at the edge of the world, including the Earth and the Mizobudapi World.
Over the past two years, he had heard many tragic experiences of the Earthlings. The Patriarch Society of the Earthlings had always tried to obtain some help from him. There were times when Dhomiguer extended his hand to help. Of course, this required sufficient resources. Unfortunately, the resources of the Earth were very limited. To be honest, perhaps the Octopus people's situation was not that good, but compared to the Earthlings, they still had a sense of superiority.
However, out of the blue … A level-4.5 civilization?
Just a few days ago, Dhomiguer had received a request for help from the Patriarch Society on Earth. It was said that a level-4 civilization had betrayed them during a trade and had suffered a great loss … In the blink of an eye, their civilization level had increased?
Dhomiguer was truly shocked.
Initially, he had thought that the Earth would need at least a few hundred years to slowly recover, let alone increase their civilization level. They had no choice as the foundation of their civilization was too weak. They once had an exceptional expert who could challenge the "emperor". It was also because of that person that the "emperor" had a higher opinion of the Earthlings and pulled them into the Star Alliance assessment. If that person was still around, perhaps the Earthlings would not be so miserable. However, since he had fallen, all of his guesses were meaningless.
"Could it be that the appointment from the Heavenly Gates is because of Wang Zhong?" Dhomiguer's memory of that Earthling was still fresh in his mind. This time, the Mizobudapi World and the Earthlings were able to enter the Star Alliance together because of Wang Zhong's appearance, allowing them to complete the advancement mission that far exceeded the level-4 assessment. Of course, Dhomiguer knew that Wang Zhong had gone to the Heavenly Gates.
However, this did not make sense! If they had increased their civilization level because of an individual's outstanding performance, they would at least need to accumulate their Gold Core and even need to successfully charge through the Heavenly River Tide. It was said that Wang Zhong had not even accumulated his Gold Core. How could the Earth's civilization level increase because of him?
"The Earthlings' luck has changed …" Dhomiguer knew that this matter was definitely not simple.
This kind of advancement did not need to be hidden. Before the news had spread to the Earth civilization, it had very quickly spread in the outer regions of the Land.
To be honest, it was not considered much for a level-4 civilization to advance by half a level. A level-4 civilization was the threshold to enter the Star Alliance. This was a rather general concept, and there were good and bad civilizations mixed together. Furthermore, after entering the Star Alliance, their horizons in various aspects would be broadened, and they would obtain knowledge. Almost all civilizations in the Star Alliance would be able to advance by one level. However, the problem was that this required time …
Under normal circumstances, a level-4 civilization would need at least five to six hundred years to advance by half a level. It would either require continuous accumulation of resources, or a race would finally stand out in the cruel competition in the Land and become an expert. Those who were slower would need a few thousand years to advance by half a level, but how long had it been since the Earth joined the Star Alliance? It had only been a little over three years. This kind of advancement speed was simply too heaven-defying. It was difficult for it not to attract attention.
High-leveled civilizations were used to the breathing of power and freedom, but to a large number of level-4 civilizations that formed the foundation of the divine territory, they longed for this step too much.
Star Alliance Shipping Company …
This was region TH968. According to the serial number, it was obvious that this was the outermost region of the Land. A group of Earthlings had just finished their transportation work.
They had once been outstanding figures in the Holy City, but now, they no longer had the arrogance and nobility they once had. Everyone here was stronger than them. Even though they were restricted by the Starship Company's system and would not be bullied, they had to work every day and could only eat pasty-like food. Most importantly, they could not see any hope. They could not endure such days.
"Karen has been gone for a few months and has not returned yet." Someone shook his head. "Sigh. I'm afraid that the news from the Patriarch Society is wrong."
"Back then, I felt that it was unreliable. It's true that Wang Zhong is an outstanding Heavenly Soul among us. Perhaps he is even more outstanding than us. But what kind of place is the Land? No matter how outstanding Wang Zhong is, can he compare to the geniuses from the various high-leveled civilizations in the Land? He was born as a Void Core. How can Earthlings compare to him? They even said that Wang Zhong made a name for himself in the Heavenly Treasures Street. I really don't believe it. That's the Catanlyke District, the middle circle of the Land … "
"Poor Karen. The money we gathered was only enough to pay for his breach of contract. Even if he painstakingly went to the Heavenly Treasures Street, he would only end up empty-handed. I'm afraid that he would not even have enough money to travel back."
"Sigh. Even though the days here are difficult, at least we don't have to worry about food and clothing. If we can survive in the Land, we will eventually be able to adapt to the environment here. Recently, I feel that the spiritual pressure has loosened slightly. Perhaps after a few more years, we will be able to resume our cultivation. As long as we can cultivate, there will be new hope. "
"It's just that the foreman, Campos, is too despicable. He even embezzled some food. First, he erased our standard Day Stomach Pills. Now, he even tampered with the pasty. We are getting more and more hungry. If not, we will adapt to the spiritual pressure much faster!"
"Shh! Silence! " Zhang Guangbei, who was slightly older, furrowed his eyebrows and softly shouted for them to stop. He had already seen the foreman. If he heard the Earthlings talking about him behind his back, what would happen?
"Ha ha. My Earthling friends, how have you been recently?" The foreman, Campos, laughed heartily as he walked over. His smile instantly caused everyone to become vigilant. This fellow would come to the warehouse to inspect it every two or three weeks and had never given the Earthlings any face. Could it be that he was plotting something? Zhang Guangbei had heard from the old people in the warehouse that there were some middle-level managers in the Starship Company who had a very complicated relationship with the slave traders. They colluded with each other to take away some contract workers with passable physical qualities. This was not something new.
When he saw the vigilant expressions on the Earthlings' faces, Campos coughed softly. The smile on his face did not change. "Don't be nervous. I'm just here to take a look. That's right. You have done well in the warehouse over the past two months. I heard that my Earthling brothers have put in a lot of effort. You are worthy of praise! I asked the canteen to prepare a big meal for you. Go over and enjoy it happily. You deserve it. Furthermore, in the future, your meals will be restored to a normal standard. Heh heh. You have used your diligence to win my respect. I, Campos, will never mistreat my employees! "
Whoosh …
Everyone was still vigilant. They were afraid that after eating this meal, they would be arranged to board a "pirate ship" in a remote area in the name of work. If that was the case, there would be a "but" or "and".
However, to everyone's surprise, after the foreman Campos gave his instructions, he simply boarded a spaceship and left. He did not say anything unnecessary, nor did he arrange any special work arrangements. It was as if the Earthlings had worked hard and wanted to reward them with a big meal. This …
Everyone looked at each other helplessly and could not understand what was going on. Had the foreman changed? Or had everyone misunderstood him in the past?
"Brother, you don't know?" A Bower Alien, who had a rather good relationship with the Earthlings, came over. "Your Earth civilization has just advanced by half a level!"
"Ah?" The Earthlings were rather isolated from the outside world and could not contact the Patriarch Society at any time. Naturally, they were dumbfounded when they heard this.
However, what did this have to do with the foreman's change? Campos was a member of a level-6 civilization. Did he need to give a level-4.5 civilization any face?
Wait, what? Advanced by half a level?
It was not that everyone's logic was messed up, but this news was simply too unbelievable.
"The appointment to upgrade a civilization is definitely true. This news has already spread." The Bower Alien mysteriously said, "Usually, if you want to upgrade a civilization, you can forget about it without accumulating for hundreds or thousands of years! How many years has it been since your Earthlings entered the Star Alliance? Only a few years, right? What does this mean? This means that a great figure has appeared on your Earthlings! "
Everyone was dumbfounded. Then, they came to a sudden realization.
The foreman Campos would definitely not care about a level-4 or level-5 civilization. However, if a great figure had appeared who could directly upgrade their civilization rating, then it would be a completely different matter.
Firstly, to be able to affect the Civilization Rating and forcefully raise the level of a civilization that had not even reached level-4, this was definitely not an ordinary expert. Needless to say, his strength was beyond imagination, and he definitely had the support of the higher-ups of the Star Alliance behind him. His connections were so strong that ordinary level-6 civilizations could not compare to him.
Furthermore, there were only a few great figures from low-leveled civilizations in the Land. If these people were bullied, this great figure would definitely know. When that time came, how could a mere foreman from the Starship Company bear the wrath of this great figure? He would not be someone who could be easily manipulated with just one sentence. It was naturally reasonable for him to quickly express his goodwill and avoid trouble in the future.
However, who was this great figure?
The Bower Alien did not say. Obviously, he did not know, but Zhang Guangbei and the others had a faint idea.
Other than Wang Zhong, who else could it be? Furthermore, the Patriarch Society had already sent news of Wang Zhong's rise. After all, they were elites from the Earth and were not afraid of suffering. After their experiences over the past year, they had long recognized the current situation of the Earth. What they were afraid of was that they would never be able to rise. But now …
