Chapter 2 The Pope’s Favor?
"Brother Chen!?"
"How is my work going?"
The middle-aged man sitting in the office suddenly jumped when he saw You Chen. Showing an expression of surprise, You Chen also greeted him from a distance.
This guy is Ye Han, You Chen’s former classmate.
However, compared with You Chen, who is barely considered a figure, Ye Han's achievements are a bit too mediocre. At the age of 35, he is a level 35 soul sect. It is estimated that he will reach the level of a soul sect if he dies in this life.
The yellow-robed deacon has broken away from the work scope of the white-robed patrolling deacon that requires constant movement, and belongs to the backbone of the entire Wuhundian organization.
In the case of insufficient manpower, he may even be sent to serve as the master of the Wuhun Palace.
The soul master is already considered a big shot to most people, while the status of the deacon in yellow is close to the manager level of a modern town, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see him.
However, in the Holy Land in the hearts of all the soul masters in the continent, in the Wuhun City where the highest combat power in the world is gathered, he is just an insignificant little Kalami.
Although at first Ye Han felt jealous when he saw that You Chen, whose talent was weaker than his own, had become a soul master several steps faster than him. Even after being beaten up, he was still unconvinced and cursed You Chen in his heart for slowing down his practice. There will be no shortage of verbal provocations and troublemaking in the future.
But as You Chen showed his extraordinary abilities again and again, and finally took advantage of the situation, and finally reached a height that was beyond Ye Han's reach, the jealousy in Ye Han's heart turned into worship.
Seeing You Chen, whose talent was similar to his own, rise through extraordinary wisdom and hard work, Ye Han seemed to see himself taking a different path.
Obviously the innate soul power is only level 2, but he managed to become a soul master at the age of 9, a great soul master at the age of 15, and a soul master at the age of 21!
In comparison, Ye Han himself was also at level 2 innate soul power, a 12-year-old soul master, a 21-year-old great soul master, and he only became a soul master at the age of 29. This speed of cultivation already shows that his lifetime limit is probably here.
Fans will worship their idols and project their own feelings on them, which is probably the case for Ye Han. He may regard You Chen as a continuation of his dream of becoming a powerful soul master.
When a supposedly ordinary person breaks the shackles and rises up, he will inevitably attract the eyes of admiration, disgust, or rejection.
When You Chen was ridiculed and provoked by someone, Ye Han, who usually didn't deal with You Chen, stood up and said some words of support, which became a turning point for the relationship between the two to ease.
About five years ago, You Chen also attended the wedding of Ye Han and his colleagues.
After such a long time, the conflicts in the past when I was young have long been turned into memories that can be laughed off.
You Chen has trust in Ye Han, and this trust allows him to safely tell Ye Han some of his demands and ask him to help him find positions in cities around Notting City.
"It's all right."
Ye Han made a proper gesture and said: "Brother Chen, you have completed the procedures for changing the guard. What's left is that of Notting City. It’s time to accept the question. In about three days at the earliest, you will be ready to take up the post of... er, deacon."
Even Ye Han himself felt a little embarrassed when he said it.
After all, You Chen is a soul sect who is about to break through the soul king, and he is also a famous professor and theory master in Wuhun Palace!
In the Wuhundian Research Institute, first you are a junior, middle, or senior researcher, and then you get the title of professor!
The levels of researchers correspond to deacons in white and yellow and bishops in purple. Professors do not have specific ranks, but are graded according to their positions, but at the end of the day... they have to be a bishop in black! ?
The black-robed bishop is already a big shot in Wuhun Palace. He just went to work in the countryside. How can he be a yellow-robed deacon! ?
Even if these procedures were handled by his hands, Ye Han still didn't understand them.
I don’t understand why the big bosses at Wuhun Palace gave such a humiliating position, and I don’t even understand why You Chen chose to leave a researcher and become a deacon at the lower level?
"Brother Chen, I wouldn't bother asking if it were anyone else. Why do you want to go to a small place like Notting City? I really don't understand. Isn't it good to stay in this palace? I heard the news before that the Pope seems to be still I like you very much, and I plan to promote you to the director of the institute."
Ye Han's voice was full of sighs, even a little angry.
Just like if a fanatic fan sees his idol taking a business order that is completely inappropriate for the fan status, he will wonder if there is something wrong.
"Pope, favor?"
Hearing Ye Han's question, You Chen was a little confused.
"Uh, Brother Chen, is there... something wrong?"
Looking at You Chen's smile, Ye Han realized that he probably said the wrong thing. Because he lacked some information that his class could not know, he said something that made You Chen laugh and cry. You Chen looked at Ye Han's embarrassed look and didn't intend to criticize him harshly.
After all, there are some things that everyone at the top of Wuhun Palace understand tacitly, but for the people at the lower and middle levels, they are completely unaware of the conflicts at the top and think that everyone loves each other. As a family, the top management works together with one heart and one mind.
In any organization, this situation is not uncommon news.
Of course, You Chen's current achievements and accomplishments are not just due to the word "hard work".
When did the number of hard-working mediocre people in this world decrease? In the end, they all became leeks one after another.
You Chen was able to practice to level 10 at the age of 9. This speed is almost the same as that of some relatively lazy geniuses with level 5 innate soul power.
But a large part of the reason is that it is easier to improve the soul power before level 10.
In addition, You Chen inherited the ideas of scientific training from his previous life and the self-discipline of adults. When other classmates were only 6 years old, they could neither concentrate on their cultivation studies nor practice systematically and scientifically. , just achieved overtaking in a corner.
But if You Chen continues to practice step by step like this, he may not be much better than Ye Han. A low-level employee who works for Wuhun Palace and handles complicated affairs may be what You Chen should look like.
As your level increases and you get closer and closer to your own talent constraints, your cultivation speed will become slower and slower.
There are obvious qualitative changes in every single realm of a soul master.
The first ring of a soul master represents the soul master’s first soul skill. The third ring of a three-ring soul master is often the soul master’s first thousand-year soul ring in the conventional sense. The fifth ring of a five-ring soul master is often the soul master’s first thousand-year soul ring. It is the first ten-thousand-year soul ring. The seventh ring of the seven-ring soul saint is the domineering and powerful martial spirit avatar. It goes without saying that the nine-ring titled Douluo is powerful.
But with this qualitative change, more stubborn shackles followed.
Especially the seventh and ninth rings, the strength of these two layers of shackles can be said to be twice that of other odd-numbered realms.
You Chen has read a lot of Douluo fanfics. In many fanfics, the protagonists can easily break the shackles of talent, absorb suitable soul rings over time to evolve their martial souls, and have been banned ever since. Douluo Dao becomes a smooth road.
So when the martial soul awakened, You Chen was not discouraged by the low innate soul power and low quality of the martial soul.
It is impossible for him to give up and fail just because he is not qualified enough.
Whale glue must be the first resource that most time travelers think of if they want to absorb soul rings beyond the age limit.
But even in the Douyi period when the effect of whale glue on improving physical fitness had not been discovered, this thing was by no means cheap, at least it was definitely not something that a child with no foundation in Youchen could buy it with money.
The best way is to dedicate the function of whale glue to Wuhun Palace to obtain this reward.
Of course, this "offering" also has a choice of methods.
It is obviously very unwise to blatantly tell others about the functions of whale gum.
The best thing would be for You Chen to take over the task of "excavating" the effects of whale glue by himself, that is, in the name of researching materials, as a researcher, he would use Wuhun Palace's money to purchase thousands or even ten thousand-year-old whale glue.
At this time, many problems naturally arise.
How to ensure that you win people’s trust? How to ensure that you will not be dismissed with a random reward of mosquito legs because you are too young, and your research results will not be picked off by others? How can we maximize our benefits while ensuring our own safety?
You Chen’s choice was not to disclose the function of whale glue first, and to establish his character as a theoretical genius first, and then...
When he was 12 years old, Yu Xiaogang In the same year that he released "The Ten Core Competencies of Wuhun", he released "The Ten Core Competencies of Refuting Wuhun".
At this point, Qian Xunji’s attention and affection were attracted.
Likewise, I have been hated by that love-minded woman ever since.
