Chapter 128 The cakes have been distributed
Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.
Nothing has changed much in Notting City, except that the number of soul masters has increased again. Tang San, who came back from the blacksmith shop for blacksmithing, told that he was thinking about combining crane control and dragon capture with his first soul skill, Wing Chun. Zhou Qing said: "Many soul masters came to the blacksmith shop today and ordered a lot of iron swords and steel knives from the boss."
"Speaking of which, armor and long weapons are controlled items. , The sword is not?" Zhou Qing complained.
“One inch long, one inch strong. An ordinary sword is only about one meter long, so naturally it cannot be considered a controlled weapon. Otherwise, kitchen knives and scissors would also be controlled weapons.”
Tang San didn't take it seriously. In his previous life, the disciples of various sects walked around the world with knives, swords, long whips, chains and other weapons, but absolutely no one could carry guns, halberds, etc., nor could they wear weapons. Armor - the court does not allow it, otherwise it will be suspected of rebellion.
And Zhou Qing can actually imagine that the soul master world in this world is not much different from the martial arts world in Tang San's previous life. It is because of the martial soul that the soul masters are stronger and have stronger internal power. , more comprehensive, so that there is a greater improvement in identity.
“Speaking of which, I heard from my boss that the rumored city of blacksmiths, Gengxin City, can make armors and restricted weapons. Most of the weapons and armors used by the Star Luo Empire’s army are in Build it there.”
Hearing Tang San mention Gengxin City, Zhou Qing thought of God General Lou Gao. Unfortunately, Gengxin City is located within the Star Luo Empire. Although Noting City is at the junction of Tiandou and Xingluo. It's in a good location, but it's far away from Gengxin City.
Moreover, when they really arrived in Gengxin City and wanted to meet Lou Gao, at this time they... were not considered unqualified. The soul guidance core array alone was of sufficient value.
But without the strength, taking out those drawings depicting the core magic circle of soul guidance is equivalent to giving it away.
In the original work, Lou Gao faced Tang San, who was already the Soul Emperor and established the Tang Sect. At first, he planned to understand the manufacturing method of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and then directly acted rogue.
Although he did not do that in the end, Zhou Qing believed that it was most likely because the design drawings of hidden weapons such as the Tang Sect's Peacock Feather, Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle, and Buddha's Furious Tang Lotus attracted him so much that His craftsman spirit took over his brain and he decided to stay.
Zhou Qing does not want to imagine others too darkly, but in this Douluo Continent with extraordinary power, you always have to be more comprehensive when considering problems.
"Gengxin City, we can go there in the future when we reach the realm of Soul Sect and above." Zhou Qing said, "The city of blacksmiths, if you want to go there, there will definitely be a lot of rare minerals."< br>
"That's right." Tang San also had the same idea, experimenting with the functions of more soul guidance core arrays, combining them with hidden weapons, surpassing the Tang clan's hidden weapons, and even creating stronger hidden weapons.
However, there is another thing at the moment -
"Brother Qing, do you know? There has been another thing in the city recently, that is, the main relationship between Xiao Cheng and Luo Xing City They are going to jointly hold a soul master competition in Dales, and the winner will have the opportunity to become a noble."
"It must be a big deal." Zhou Qing doesn't believe this.
City Lord Xiao and Dales ignored their past grudges... It is understandable. After all, they are "people of the same path". It is not a big deal to go on the "same path" again in private and get closer to each other.
However, the opportunity to obtain nobility is worth listening to.
Even the children of major families and sects only have a hidden noble status. If they want to truly obtain the official noble status of the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo, they must be awarded a title. , but also have to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition and obtain a certain ranking.
The reason?
Whether it is Tiandou or Xingluo, there are enough nobles of all sizes, but there are only a few talents with top talents. A soul master competition is held between two small towns, and the winner will have the opportunity to become a noble... Don't even think about it, the probability of this so-called opportunity is absolutely 0.
But again, No matter how ridiculous the lie is, there are still people who believe it, and there are even a lot of people who believe it.
Especially for most civilian soul masters, obtaining the status of a noble is enough for them to fight for it even if it is just an opportunity.
[Hiss——]
Zhou Qing took a deep breath.
In this Douluo Continent, the path for civilian soul masters to enter the elite class does exist, but the hope is extremely slim.
Because, before those children of families and sects were officially awarded titles by the officials of Tiandou and Xingluo, they were indeed civilian soul masters in terms of status.
On the surface, the so-called ascending path is fair, but the large number of civilian soul masters need to compete with those soul master disciples who have family inheritance and sect resources.
In this world, the basic level system of soul power cultivation is so weak that whether one can become a strong person mainly depends on whether a person has an excellent martial soul.
Civilians can only rely on mutation!
How can civilian soul masters compete with the children of sects and families who have excellent martial souls, a large number of resources, connections, and training inheritance without having an excellent martial spirit?
In other words, a descendant of an aristocratic family?
No chance!
The Tiandou Empire's upward path may seem fair, but in fact it has blocked the path for most civilian soul masters to enter the aristocratic class.
It’s just that most civilian soul masters don’t realize this yet.
Because, on the surface, the soul master children of those families and sects are not nobles at birth... However, as long as they grow up, they want to obtain the status of nobles, which is far more difficult than It is a hundred times, a thousand times easier for civilian soul masters!
This is not only the advantage in martial arts, but also because the sects and families behind them have already divided the cake in Tiandou!
[The Shrek Seven Devils in the original work, that is, Ma Hongjun and Oscar are purely civilians. They can stand out from the crowd. There is a 90% chance that it is because of Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Tang San. The protagonist is lucky, because when the Tiandou Empire no longer expands or there is turmoil, the pie of resources and power has already been distributed! 】
“Brother Qing, what’s wrong with you?” Seeing that Zhou Qing was confused again, Tang San couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s nothing, I just thought a lot and found myself quite insignificant.” Zhou Qing sighed.
“Can you tell me about it?”
"Okay."
After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing decided to truly believe Tang San and fully described his guess about the distribution of Tiandou's big cake.
“Unexpectedly——”
Tang San’s eyes widened, unable to imagine that Zhou Qing could clearly describe the general outline of the officialdom in such popular words.
Especially when he compared the various corrupt officials, wealthy squires, etc. in his previous life, he found that it actually made sense!
Precisely because the interests of the dynasty have been distributed, it is very difficult for others to join in, and they may even have a narrow escape!
