Chapter Eighty-Seven: Artificial Awakening (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Bookmarks)
"In the streets of Wai Fong, I'm more familiar than you are. When I was young, I used to hang out in Tin Heung Street all the time. After you came along, I didn't go as often. But some good brothers I knew back then still live there, and it was only by chance that I met up with them one day and got the news." Although Yeung Tong is only a ninth-level apprentice, his life experience is far richer than Yeung Tung's.
"This is, to be honest, I also have some inexplicable, a few months ago, the school's teaching director took me to the wilderness survival course in the wild, I killed eight earth-level martial artists, and as a result, I inexplicably offended the Dark Tiger." Yang Tong shook his head and sighed.
"You took down eight Earth-level Wu Ling Masters? Hey, good job, kid! In that case, you'd better stay in school and cultivate until you're absolutely sure. Even Dark Tiger wouldn't dare to cause trouble at the Royal High Academy." Yang Tong reminded him, and after chatting for a bit more, he left Yang Tong's room.
"This doesn't feel right, Dark Tiger has been famous for decades, how could he be taken down so easily by Tong Er? Is it a new member? Impossible." Yang Tong was much more thoughtful than Yang Tong.
The whole family happily had a meal. The next morning, the three of them went out and soon arrived at the Mercenary Guild.
Yang Tong brought his parents to the ninth floor and met with Fang Hui Zhang, first paying the fee. Additionally, Yang Tong also sent a four-product spiritual soldier over.
"Alright, follow me." Fang Bai smiled and put away the gift, leading the three of them down to the basement.
"The awakening chamber is right here." Fang Bai said, pointing at a huge window.
Looking out the window, there are rows of upright coffins inside, very similar to those cultivation tanks in sci-fi movies from previous lives. The only difference is that these coffins are fully enclosed and can't be seen from the outside. There are also many researchers and staff working in the awakening room.
"This awakening chamber has a total of nine spiritual awakening cabins, which is one of the greatest inventions of our human civilization. Unfortunately, if it weren't for the cost issue, every single person in humanity could awaken, and we would be hundreds or thousands of times stronger than we are now." Fang Bai let out a sigh.
"Alright, Yang Tong, you stay here. You two come with me." Fang Bai led them in and after another series of procedures that lasted half an hour, during which they carefully verified everything, Yang Tong's parents were finally allowed to enter the Spiritual Awakening Chamber.
Fang Bai finished handling the formalities and came out, standing outside with Yang Tong and others waiting.
"Wait, different people take different amounts of time and energy to wake up," Fang Bai said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr Fang." Yang Tong nodded in response.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Fang Bai nodded in satisfaction and replied. Yang Tong, such a genius, had no arrogance when dealing with people or things, this attitude was also one of the reasons why Fang Bai was willing to help. Making friends with a future spiritual master who had great prospects was a very cost-effective deal.
Luo Bao spoke up in the midst of the sea of knowledge, "I don't know if the artificial awakening of this era and the foundation-establishing pills we used back then share the same principle. However, it seems that this technology hasn't been thoroughly researched or is heading in the wrong direction, making it impossible to popularize."
Yang Tong heard this and couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself: "Can it be compared to back then?"
"No." Lu Bao replied disdainfully.
"That's it, then. Can't compare, what else can be said?" Yang Tongyi said with a sigh.
Lu Bao was blocked and didn't say a word.
Ten hours passed, and finally at dusk, Luo Xiaojuan was the first to successfully awaken from the spiritual awakening cabin. Two hours later, Yang Tong also successfully broke through and came out of the spiritual awakening cabin.
Both of them have one thing in common, which is that they look at least ten years younger than before!
"Tong Ge, we...we've also awakened and become Earth-level strongmen!" Luo Xiaojuan was still emotionally agitated, and hadn't calmed down even now, as she hugged Yang Tong tightly.
"Yes, yes." Yang Tong was equally excited.
"Alright, I'll take you out now. After the career test, we can celebrate and head back home to continue celebrating." Fang Bai said with a smile.
Yang Tong and his wife also thanked Fang Bao with gratitude.
Four people returned to the ninth floor and had someone bring over testing instruments to test their occupation and attributes.
After a test, it's very regrettable that both of them are Wu Ling Shi professionals and don't have any Shen Yan Shi talent. Yang Tong's attributes are earth and wood dual attributes, with earth at 65 and wood at 60; he has the potential to become a Tian Kong level strong practitioner if he cultivates further. Luo Xiaojuan's attribute is pure fire attribute, with fire reaching 70, also having the potential to become a Tian Kong level strong practitioner. Those with attribute talent above 50 all have the potential to break through to Tian Kong level on their own. Of course, if resources are sufficient, even those with talent below 20 can become gods; it's just that the resources consumed would be extremely exaggerated. In theory, as long as one has awakened, they have hope of becoming a god.
"Alright, as a matter of course, Mr. Yang Tong is a sixth-level mercenary in the guild, and Ms. Luo Xiaojuan is also a fourth-level mercenary. Have you considered joining the guild to become an official member? However, I need to explain that since both of you are artificially awakened and have average aptitude, even if you become official members, you will only be personnel in the General Affairs Department, not like your son who became a member of the Genius Department." Fang Bai said.
"What's the difference?" Yang Tong asked.
"The people in the Diligence Department share the same benefits as the Contribution Point system, but they need to work for the guild. For example, being sent to a county-level guild to be a deputy, and slowly rising up. The way to get contribution points is to make contributions to the guild or discover special talents. As for the Genius Department, such as you, the guild gives you expanded resource exchange permissions, gives you three chances to ask for help, provides you with the best growth environment, and the guild will not let you work for the guild before your potential is exhausted. Of course, during this period, because you are not working for the guild, the guild does not care about how you grow, nor will it come forward to protect your safety, nor will it interfere with all your actions and gains." Fang Bai said.
"I see." Yang Tong nodded in response. It's like raising pigeons, some are raised in cages, while others are released into the wild. Naturally, the pigeons that are released into the wild can fly higher and farther, becoming stronger.
"Can we two consider for a while?" Yang Tong asked aloud.
"Of course, you can do as you please." Fang Bai responded with a very giving face, but in fact, whether Yang Tong's parents joined or not didn't matter. For an artificial awakening of the earth level, it wouldn't affect the contribution points from above, so he wasn't anxious. Besides, Yang Tong was a member of the Mercenary Guild, and although he was currently in his growth period, it was inevitable that one day Yang Tong would soar to great heights and occupy a high position in the Mercenary Guild.
