Chapter 23: Space Ring, Legendary Equipment!
On the night Ashes of Soul was released, Zhao Xing didn’t encounter the big bosses from the Education Department and the military. Time constraints prevented any lengthy discussions. Yang Tianming had initially invited Zhao Xing to meet with the leaders, but Zhang Haiqiang intervened, advising Zhao Xing to head back and rest first.
“Tianming, safeguarding our talents extends beyond personal safety. Emotional considerations are crucial. Simplify official procedures for this extraordinary talent, making them feel comfortable and at ease. This is a valuable lesson for both of us. We still have room for improvement.”
Yang Tianming nodded in acknowledgment, appreciating the leadership insights shared by Zhang Haiqiang.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
…
In the resettlement complex, it was already midnight when Zhao Xing returned home. The light in Zhao Ming’s room was still on, and his younger brother was already asleep. Zhao Xing gently entered, covering his brother with the quilt. Despite his quiet movements, Zhao Ming woke up.
“Brother, are you done with work?”
“Well… no, I didn’t finish work. I didn’t go to work today.”
“You’re working late in the school’s enchanting laboratory. Isn’t that considered working for the school? They even provide our meals.”
“Well… this matter might be a little unclear for a while.”
Zhao Xing suddenly found his younger brother’s words making some sense. It did resemble part-time work. However, with the release of Ashes of Soul, high-intensity enchanting might not be necessary. Tomorrow, he planned to inquire about the recommendation. There had to be a letter of approval.
“Brother, I still think the food you cook is delicious. Why don’t you stay at school at night?” Zhao Ming suggested.
“I appreciate your sentiment. Don’t worry about it. Our life will get better in the future, and our parents can return to Anyang.
“But how will you…”
“Stop asking so many questions; go to sleep!”
“Oh.”
A dreamless night passed.
…
After a restful night’s sleep, Zhao Xing descended the stairs in the morning. The working group’s car awaited him downstairs. Not seeing Guan Ya, Zhao Xing inquired, “Where’s Teacher Guan?”
Fang Hong, responsible for transportation, responded, “There’s no training scheduled today, so the school gave Teacher Guan the day off. She’s been working hard these past two days.”
“Oh, that’s understandable,” Zhao Xing nodded, and the shuttle began.
Without questioning why he went to school, Zhao Xing considered that students in the second semester of the third year could manage their time freely. However, an important moment in life was approaching, prompting everyone to strive in the dungeons. Zhao Xing’s decision to go to school was to discuss the recommendation with the principal. If that didn’t pan out, he’d have to prepare for the auxiliary occupation exam.
Typically, both main combat and auxiliary professions had the chance to be admitted to a super school. The exams, though, had distinct content. Main combat professions emphasized level and actual combat, testing professional knowledge in depth and breadth. Auxiliary professions had lower-level requirements and focused on the enchantment or decomposition of specified propositions in actual combat. There were standardized scoring criteria, but the rule was clear: only white equipment of the corresponding level could be worn during the exam. Top schools set high standards, with the Transcendent Academy recruiting only a few dozen in a city and common thresholds at levels 10, 15, and 18.
They respectively involved the opening of the main occupation tree and the mastery of occupation branch knowledge. Nowadays, most students are around level 10.
Zhao Xing felt that even if he wasn’t recommended for special recruitment, he could still enter the Transcendent Academy. Of course, it was more face-saving to get a recommendation, and there would be extra rewards. Why was he so obsessed with the recommendation? Because there was a lot of money for extra rewards. In this way, one of the parents could go home. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be at ease if his younger brother was alone at home…
“I want to ask something.”
When the car was parked downstairs in the school office, Zhao Xing decided to ask about the situation today. But he hadn’t waited for him to speak yet. Yang Tianming took him to the conference room and brought up the matter on his initiative.
“Zhao Xing, this is Zhang Haiqiang, Minister Zhang from our Nanhu Education Department. And Director Lin Feng and Director Shen Yun, who are in charge of educational resources. Didn’t you ask me about the recommendation before? I immediately reported it to the Education Department. Several leaders have strongly supported the work of the past few days.”
Yang Tianming provided a brief introduction, and Zhao Xing was well aware of the weight of these big shots. Immediately, they exchanged greetings. The rest of the people stared at Zhao Xing with eager eyes.
At this time, the results of the preliminary test of the Ashes of Soul had come out. The priority level and the upper limit of the effect were beyond people’s imagination. Although the trigger rate of the effect of reducing blood volume had not been tested on high-level bosses on humans, it had already achieved initial results and was an absolute killer!
This kid was a treasure now! Lin Feng, Shen Yun, and the others were looking at a magic weapon! This made Zhao Xing a little nervous!
Zhang Haiqiang smiled and said, “Student Zhao, don’t be nervous. Have you had breakfast yet? Let’s not talk about business for now. Let’s eat something first and talk while eating.”
The middle-aged man waved his hand lightly, and a pile of ingredients appeared on the table. An assistant next to him stepped forward, his hands glowing white, and then a delicious breakfast appeared.
The assistant was obviously a [Nutritionist] in the sub-profession. These ingredients themselves were not rare, but they could produce nutritional value. Even when taking it, Zhao Xing got a reminder. Taking a certain amount for a long time would permanently increase a certain attribute. Obviously, this was a nutritionist with a high level!
In addition, Zhang Haiqiang’s ability to change ingredients out of thin air also surprised Zhao Xing. “Transformation out of thin air, is this space equipment?”
Zhang Haiqiang took a sip of the soup, smiled, and pointed to the ring on his right hand: “Yes, a level 60 space ring.”
Zhao Xing felt his eyes widen: “There really is such a thing; I thought it was a legend?”
Zhang Haiqiang smiled and said, “You’re right; it’s indeed legendary equipment. Come on, touch it and see its attributes.”
After Zhao Xing touched it, he immediately saw the attributes of this ring.
[Ring of Sirocco]. [Level: 70]. [Quality: Legendary]. [Status: Soul bound, three times enchanted]. [Defense power +500,000, the defense category is space defense, which does not belong to physics, magic, mind power, supernatural power, or mechanical systems, and is space rule defense!]. [Guardian of the King: It can form a barrier covering a radius of 1 kilometer at most, with a shield energy value of 1 million, which can consume the wearer’s energy value to replenish, has self-recovery power, 10 points per second, and can last indefinitely until the shield value If it is 0, it enters a 90-day cooling-off period. 】 [Magic Space: It has a storage space of 1 million cubic meters. 】 [‘My dear children, whoever performs the most among you will be able to become the king and gain the greatest wealth in the kingdom. ’—King Sherlock. 】“This, this, this…” Zhao Xing was stunned.
A level 70 legendary equipment with three enchantments! Not to mention providing the wearer with 500,000 defense points. It actually had two miraculous effects! The minister in front of him was absolutely extraordinary. With this ring, it was as difficult as heaven to break through his shield!
Seeing Zhao Xing’s appearance, Zhang Haiqiang smiled and said, “Aren’t you surprised by three enchantments, all of which increase defense.”
“Yes, this defensive ability is simply too strong,” Zhao Xing couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
It was still an independent space rule defense, and any defense-reducing equipment might not be effective. Who could destroy this?
“How can I not be strong.” Zhang Haiqiang smiled, “If I die, the soul binding will be released. This ring contains all state property. I’m usually responsible for allocating various educational resources. If any war happens, this ring will be the most important logistics transportation line. Now you understand why the three enchantments all add defense?”
Zhao Xing nodded, expressing his understanding. Indeed, he couldn’t throw this thing away. He had to take good care of it.
“Come on, eat quickly. It’s getting cold. I’ll tell you about the origin of this ring. It’s quite interesting.”
