Listening to the various instructions from Zhang Pianpian on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Yu nodded from time to time, making a sound of "hmm".
"The Ten Great Sects have established an iron law that, in order to maintain security and the business environment at all levels, it is forbidden to travel freely between the levels of Kunxu."
"If you want to come back, you either have to be like Real Person Xinghuo, with greatly reduced cultivation and shrunk assets, and come down in disgrace after many twists and turns."
"Or you have a specially assigned task or job, like the Songyang Director of Xianyun Group, who is sent to this level to sit on the bench."
"But both of these are just the result of being eliminated while climbing up... I don't want them."
"Brother, I want to climb up, climb to a higher place in Kunxu, and see the scenery above."
"So my eyes will only look up, not back."
"If we meet again in the future, it can only be above, never on the first level of Kunxu."
Zhang Yu clenched his fist and said to Zhang Pianpian on the other end of the phone: "Sister, I will definitely catch up with you!"
Zhang Pianpian laughed and said, "Then I'll wait for you at Wanfa University."
Zhang Yu asked again, "It's so difficult to go up and down, do you have anything you don't need that you can leave for me?"
Zhang Pianpian said, "I still have more than 20 million in debt..."
"Forget it." Zhang Yu said righteously, "It's better for you to keep such personal things close to your body."
"I mean, do you have anything you can't take with you? Like a house, a car, or something valuable?"
Pfft! Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help laughing from the side, feeling like she was listening to her good grandson asking his grandmother who was ascending to heaven for her inheritance.
Zhang Pianpian said, "I've left you three talismans."
Zhang Yu looked at the three pictures sent by the other party, each of which was a screenshot of a talisman, but because the content was too complicated, he couldn't understand what kind of talisman it was.
Moreover, a trace of doubt arose in his heart: "Can screenshots also be used?"
Zhang Pianpian said, "These three talismans are, respectively, a freezing talisman, which can freeze other people's bank accounts, but the higher the other party's faith level, the shorter the freezing time."
"There is also a thunder talisman, which can sound a thunder alarm and summon the armed forces of the patrol team to enforce the law within one minute, but remember that the minimum charge for such an alarm is 10,000, so be sure to confirm that you have money in your account before using it."
"There is also a divine travel talisman, which can summon a small land god to drive you and escape instantly, with a maximum distance of 10 kilometers, but you must remember that the charge for this is 3,000 yuan per kilometer, which is directly deducted from your account, so you must calculate the money before using it."
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, feeling that these three talismans were really useful.
Zhang Pianpian said lightly, "I will also send you the phone number of the captain of the Songyang City Patrol Team. I have stored the talismans with her."
"After you add her as a friend, when you need to use any of these three talismans, send it to her, and she will activate the talisman for you."
"Also, if you encounter problems that you can't solve yourself, you can also go to her."
Speaking of this, Zhang Pianpian paused, seemingly considering something, and finally said, "If you need a higher divine department identity as a cover, she can help promote you, you can discuss with her how to do it specifically."
"But if she promotes you, remember to only promote you to a special assistant at most."
"Also, remember never to go see her alone at night."
"Also, continue to work as a contractor, never sign a formal contract."
"Also, don't worry about the loan, just pay it back slowly according to the contract."
"Take the time to improve yourself, it doesn't matter if you owe more, many times the amount of debt is also a reflection of strength."
"Also, open the registration website for the Foundation Establishment Exam when you arrive in Xiandu City. I haven't participated in it, so you have to adapt to the specific situation..."
In this way, Zhang Pianpian patiently explained various matters to Zhang Yu one by one, and Zhang Yu listened very carefully.
Until the end, she slowly said: "We have no foundation on the first level of Kunxu. Remember, never use my name to cause trouble everywhere."
"After I leave, be as patient as possible. If you pass the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate, then you must not be ostentatious."
Zhang Yu felt a drop of sweat flow down his forehead. His sister was really something. Was he, Zhang Yu, the kind of guy who bullies others and causes trouble everywhere?
"Don't worry, Sister, just wait for me at Wanfa University. I'll come to you in two years."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu suddenly felt a little empty, as if the elder who had been protecting him was about to ascend to heaven, and he would face the world alone in the future.
"Alas, let's prepare for the Foundation Establishment Exam registration first."
Zhang Yu picked up the phone and called his head teacher, Su Haifeng: "Hello? Lao Su, Bai Zhenzhen and I want to ask for two days off."
"This is something that Senior Zhang Pianpian wanted me and Bai Zhenzhen to help her with before she left."
"Can't I even ask for this leave?"
"Then I can only tell her to let Senior Zhang Pianpian ascend to the ascension platform with regrets."
"Okay, thanks, Lao Su."
...
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the day before the Foundation Establishment Exam registration.
And today was also the day when Zhang Pianpian stepped onto the ascension platform and officially left.
Night.
Songyang City, intercity railway station.
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were sitting together in the waiting room, waiting for the high-speed train to Tiantai City.
The reason why they booked a train to Tiantai City instead of a direct train to Xiandu was just because they didn't want to reveal their destination.
At this moment, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were also continuing to seize the time to breathe in and out.
In the past few days, Zhang Yu's various values had also improved again. His mana had increased to , and his physical strength had reached level .
But he also had less money on him.
Especially because during the college entrance examination period, various controls in the entire Songyang City became increasingly strict, and constables could be seen from time to time on the streets near various high schools.
Not only were outsiders prohibited from entering major high schools, but even the Dark Tutoring Gang stopped tutoring activities, which cost Zhang Yu a lot of income.
Zhang Yu could only sigh that the college entrance examination was related to the university, the quota for ascending to the second level, and the future of countless people and families. It was indeed a top priority, so that the entire Songyang City was like a formidable enemy.
And his savings had also been reduced to 50,000 in these days.
"I still have to find a way to make money. After returning from this registration... maybe I can expand the business of the dark tutoring world?"
Just over an hour later, Zhang Yu's phone vibrated slightly and received a message from Zhang Pianpian.
Zhang Pianpian: I'm leaving first.
Immediately afterwards, the other party's avatar turned gray, and Zhang Yu knew that unless there were some special communication methods, he would not be able to contact his sister again until he ascended to the second level of Kunxu.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu once again felt a trace of loss in his heart.
"Next time we meet, it will probably be in two years."
"Fortunately, there is still Ah Zhen."
He turned his head to look at Bai Zhenzhen, who was eating a bucket of synthetic food next to him, and said, "Ah Zhen? Why did you eat my share too?"
Bai Zhenzhen said, "You were staring blankly at your phone, I thought you weren't going to eat it."
Zhang Yu: "You motherfucker..."
Not long after, after arriving at Tiantai City Station, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen took another train to another city.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, more than ten hours later.
...
The speeding train traveled on the earth.
Zhang Yu looked at Ah Zhen next to him and found that the other party was lying on the car window, exclaiming: "Yu Zi, look at that!"
I saw dense crowds in the distance, from the sky to the earth, all were endless city scenes.
That was the goal of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's trip, Xiandu City.
Above Xiandu City, there were white and golden auspicious clouds spreading out like continents and islands, on which you could see many immortal palaces and temples, and countless skyscrapers standing in the clouds, like a city in the sky.
And below this aerial city was the earth, which was always shrouded in shadows, and the densely packed buildings on the earth, and the neon lights constantly flashing in the darkness.
A young man sat not far from Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen. He pointed to the sky city and said, "Uncle, have you been to the upper city?"
The old man sitting next to the young man had a face full of ravines. Looking at the scene of Xiandu, he looked unsurprised and said calmly: "Well, I went up to work when I was young. At that time, there were only a few floating islands in the upper city. Later, it was built bigger and bigger, and the clouds became thicker and thicker. Now it is called Kunxu's first and a half level by the rich."
"The top is getting more and more prosperous, and the bottom of the lower city... there are more and more cloudy days, and finally it has become like this, it is always night."
The young man said: "Isn't it uncomfortable to stay without a day?"
The old man said disdainfully: "It's enough to make money, what's the difference between day and night? Boy, let me tell you, even begging in Xiandu is better than working in a factory in other cities."
As the train slowly stopped at the station in the lower city, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen felt a chill in the air as soon as they got off the train.
Looking up at the sky, they could only see the rolling sea of clouds in the upper city.
But the outside of the city looked like white and golden auspicious clouds, but when viewed from below the clouds, you could only see a pitch-black area, like dark clouds constantly surging back and forth.
"Is it because the bottom of the clouds is covered by the various buildings and roads of the upper city from the sunlight?"
"It's really depressing." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If I stay here all the time, it will be inconvenient to practice the Great Sun Qi Sea."
The two did not wander around, but stayed in the station, found a deserted corner, and opened the registration website according to Zhang Pianpian's instructions.
In the past, the two had also opened this website, but each time it was blank and had no information.
Now standing in Xiandu City, there was finally information on the registration website, but it was just a countdown.
"Hasn't it started yet?"
The two simply wandered around the station, looking at the boxed lunches for hundreds of dollars, the water for ten yuan a bottle, and the stockings worth 50 million, and they all sighed at the expensive prices.
Suddenly, Bai Zhenzhen pointed to the 50 million white stockings and said, "Yu Zi, that is actually an external spiritual root."
Zhang Yu: "Yeah."
Bai Zhenzhen: "If you put this on, it's like you have a spiritual root too."
Zhang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "If you're going to wear it, you wear it, and then give me the real spiritual root."
Bai Zhenzhen said, "Okay, then remember to buy it for me in the future."
Zhang Yu didn't think he could afford such an expensive external spiritual root at all, and said casually: "I'll buy you seven in the future, seven different colors, seven days a week, and change them every day..."
While the two were wandering around, the countdown to the registration time finally ended.
The two looked at the instructions above: "Find a space with no surveillance, no outsiders, and only yourself, and then click confirm."
