Chapter 257 - 243: Qingyun, have you contacted the master? 2
What to do?
The most powerful lightning can’t kill him, the nearby universe’s meteorites have all been cleared up, so there is no way to perform a meteor shower attack.
For the first time, after the birth of spirit wisdom, the Will of Heaven and Earth felt… despair!
Facing Xuanqing, who is such a cheater, what can he do as a small planet-level Will of Heaven and Earth besides waiting for death?
Just as the Will of Heaven and Earth was despairing.
On Water Blue Star, a major event occurred!
At least for human society, it was a very big and far-reaching event!
Interest rate hike.
The Beautiful Country, as the world’s largest economy, released a global interest rate hike announcement and cut all unnecessary expenses.
And the cause of all this… was the loss of gold!
More than 700 tons of gold from Sakura Country and thousands of tons of gold from the Beautiful Country were lost.
If this were during the peak of economic prosperity, the loss of this gold, though painful, would not be a big deal.
But in the current era, which is already economically depressed and barely holding on, the loss of these gold is the equivalent of the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Beautiful Country.
White Palace.
Plank, the leader, has a grim face and keeps flipping through the various documents on the table.
“Fack Squid, that damned predecessor, left such a mess.”
“Also, over a thousand tons of gold just disappeared out of thin air. It’s a joke.”
“People, raise interest rates… keep raising them!”
Plank roars in anger.
But then…
A cautious staff member reminds him, “Respected leader, this is the third consecutive interest rate hike in half a month. The people of Erehua Street are already making a ruckus. 5f??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? >■
if we continue to raise interest rates… I’m afraid…
Although the words were not finished, the meaning was clear.
Obviously, if he continues to raise interest rates, he won’t be able to keep his position as leader.
“Huff-”
Plank takes a deep breath, his eyes flickering with indescribable color, then he takes a bold step and clenches his teeth to say:
“Then continue to cut spending, stop all research projects that have not produced results in ten years, and cut all projects except for economic development…. ”
With a wave of Plank’s hand, one economic policy after another was issued.
Beautiful Country, Fland State.
B-Hsan Biological Research Base.
A bearded middle-aged doctor is holding a phone, cursing constantly.
“You can’t do this, this project has been going on…”
“Oh- Damn, they actually want to cut off the power, this is a crime, this will cause…”
Before he finished speaking, the other end of the phone hung up.
Beep… beep beep
Listening to the busy tone at the other end of the phone.
“Fack!” The bearded doctor cursed, and slammed the phone to the ground.
As the person in charge of the B-Hsan research base, he knew very well that once the research was forcibly interrupted…
Not only would previous efforts be wasted, but it could also potentially result in the biological materials not being properly handled due to lack of funding, eventually leading to…
Just a shortage of funding could lead to an inability to properly dispose of the biological waste, not to mention power cuts, there would definitely be problems.
“Damn politicians, this is bound to cause big trouble.”
The bearded doctor’s eyes flickered with uncertainty.
However.
An arm can’t defeat a thigh.
He could only curse the damned higher-ups, dismiss the experiment staff, and then head to a secret room deep in the base.
In the end,
He walked to a control panel, and then pressed a button for full energy storage.
In an instant.
The research base turned into a whirlpool, frantically absorbing electricity, and even intercepting all the power that would have flowed into the city, eventually turning into stored energy for the base.
After doing all this,
The bearded doctor adjusted his glasses and murmured, “This stored energy can last a month, I hope it’s not too late.”
He wanted to freeze the base, then go to Button City, confront Plank, and tell him the consequences of cutting off the B-Hsan research base.
“Damn Plank, I hope you know what’s good for you, or else I’ll kick your ass, and I can do it.”
The doctor was booking tickets on his phone while cursing non-stop.
Time quietly passes by.
Before anyone realized, over a month had passed.
In the atmosphere.
The light group formed by the Will of The Heaven and Earth of The Water Blue
Star is jumping up and down. If it could only speak…
It would definitely shout… I’m in a hurry, I’m really in a hurry.
Because in this two months, the whole Yan Country had expanded the path of cultivation from just the audience to include a small number of believers.
And moreover.
The number of people entering the path of cultivation every day is increasing at a multiple rate.
Under such circumstances, the “conflict” of the rules brought about for the Will of Heaven and Earth is extremely intense.
Just when the Will of Heaven and Earth was extremely anxious.
Suddenly.
In a hidden valley in Beautiful Country’s Fland State, a great amount of disaster aura overflowed with an explosion.
Seeing this scene.
The Will of Heaven and Earth was overjoyed.
Such a good opportunity…it must be enhanced, heavily enhanced.
Controlling all the power of luck, it poured blessings onto this disaster aura that had suddenly appeared in the Beautiful Country, Fland State.
In an instant.
This disaster aura expanded several times, spreading at a visible speed.
The disaster aura is a power that combines negative energies such as unknown, plague, pain, disaster, etc.
Such a terrifying existence, having gained the full support of the Will of Heaven and Earth…
It is unknown what kind of impact this disaster aura will bring to humanity on the Water Blue Star.
Not to mention what on earth the will of heaven and earth in the real world is up to.
Shifting the focus back to the Game World.
Black Wind Mountain.
Half of the originally huge gold mountain had turned into gray-white stones, while the metallic Qi inside had been completely absorbed.
Ever since the last time his physical body in the real world was struck by a divine thunderbolt, nearly two months have passed.
At this moment.
Xuanqing’s practice has also reached a very critical point.
More than half of the Gold Qi in his lungs has transformed into Chao Yuan; as long as he successfully transforms a small part left, he can successfully condense five elements Gold Qi Chao Yuan!
Suddenly.
Another prompt sounded.
[Beep…Congratulations to player Incense for accumulating five billion, Daoist
Immortal Officer has been promoted to… Secondary third-rank!]
As the sound of the quantifier fell.
The sky above Black Wind Mountain was also stirred by unusual phenomena.
However.
As if sensing that Xuanqing, the promoted immortal officer, was in a critical state of cultivation, even the astronomical phenomena did not disturb him.
It’s worth mentioning that.
The reason why there wasn’t a major heavenly phenomenon when promoted to secondary third-rank… was because the immortal officer above fourth-rank was not controlled by the rules of heaven and earth but was conferred by the Heavenly Court.
That is to say.
If he wants to change his own Daoist officer position to secondary third-rank, he needs to go to the heavens and have the Jade Emperor, who represents the will of heaven, personally confer the title in the Lingxiao Bao Hall.
“There’s no rush for the conferring ceremony; I’ll concentrate on condensing the Gold Qi Chao Yuan first!”
Xuanqing put the conferring matter out of his mind and focused on his cultivation.
However.
What he doesn’t know.
A major global disaster is about to happen on Water Blue Star…
Real World.
Water Blue Star.
A large-scale flu is attacking, its spread is as widespread as the global pandemic of the Black Death hundreds of years ago.
Great Yan Kingdom naturally could not escape from this disaster.
It is rumored to have started from a marathon participant from Beautiful Country and quickly spread across the country.
City collapses, banks close, commercial areas shut down, only pharmacies and necessary hospitals remain open.
Panic is spreading.
Under these circumstances.
The Taoist temple suffered as well; to prevent the spread of the virus, all Taoist temples were closed.
As the sacred place of the Taoist, Qingping Temple was also shut down, and the once bustling temple had become deserted.
Main Hall of Qingping Temple.
Apart from Xuanming and Xuanjing, the two people in charge of the Taoist temple.
Three special guests were welcomed, namely Elder Jingde, Elder Qianqing, and Yang Ying, who was in charge of the business part of the Taoist temple.
All of a sudden.
Creak-
The door to the inner courtyard opened and a short, young-looking child walked out of it.
Seeing this situation.
Everyone stood up and hurriedly approached to inquire.
“Qingyun, how is it, have you contacted Sir yet?”
