Chapter 351: Great increase in skill or soaring in place?
Time flies, and several days pass by.
The winter vacation is completely over, and Li Chengqi has completely returned to his daily life. Every morning, he has to settle accounts for the students who buy bread and milk before going to school.
"Brother Li, do you still have dirty bags?"
"No, it didn't arrive yesterday."
Xue Wenshu reluctantly went to get a piece of cheese bread.
Li Chengqi looked at his face and the dark circles under his eyes:
"Have you gone to practice immortality recently? Why do you look so bad?"
"Because the college entrance examination is about to take place, and things are getting tighter at school all of a sudden, I don't even have time to date Yu Qian."
Indeed, there are only more than three months left before the college entrance examination in June.
"The college entrance examination is not everything. Don't risk your life. Just regard it as an important turning point."
Li Chengqi took out a small iron box from under the counter:
"There's some tea in it. You can take it back and drink it to refresh yourself."
The tea here was the fairy tea sent by Lei Lei. It was really refreshing and refreshing. Li Chengqi gave the unfinished tea to Xue Wenshu.
Seeing this kid staggering away from the convenience store, Li Chengqi lamented the difficulty of college entrance examination students and returned to the cashier to turn on the computer.
It feels so good to be fishing while others are busy.
Perhaps it was because of this that Li Chengqi opened a convenience store.
First, I looked at Viola's side. Open City was completely under Viola's control, and the purged government officials were gradually being replenished. There was no problem in maintaining normal operations.
The ruins burned by the fire had even been cleaned up. As soon as Li Chengqi turned on the computer, he saw a large open space on the screen, and many people were laying the foundation.
Viola plans to use this land to build a large temple. Although the conditions are limited and it is unlikely to be particularly luxurious, it must be larger than the one in Leon's territory.
The manpower is mainly composed of nobles and their servants who have been purged of prisoners of war. It is said that the blueprints have been drawn.
After this wave of purges, the biggest benefit is not the replenishment that the hard workers get, but the simple money.
Turning on the computer today, Li Chengqi saw that the gold coin resource column in the upper right corner had reached more than 130,000, and this did not include industries such as real estate.
The nobles are indeed rich. Before, Li Chengqi thought that he would have to wait until Viola returned to the country to save 500,000 gold coins. Now it seems that Viola only needs to regain a few occupied cities and clean up a wave of surrendering nobles. 500,000 gold coins are really just around the corner.
Although everything seemed to be thriving, Li Chengqi observed for a while and discovered a problem.
Kaimen City was once occupied by the Demon Kingdom of Subia for several months, and there were many priests in the army of Subia Demon Kingdom. They preached in Kaimen City during the occupation.
Although not very effective, it did develop a small following.
When Viola came in, the priests of the Demon King's Cult also began to preach, which led to religious conflicts.
It seems that believers of the Demon King's Cult are ostracizing other believers among civilians. Although they are just yelling at each other now, there is no guarantee that religious conflicts will occur in the future.
This is not a good thing. If it develops, it may turn into religious populism.
This is no longer the age of mythology. The absolute authority of the Demon King and God no longer exists. The world is showing a trend of diversified beliefs. We cannot exclude other religions just because there are priests of other gods in the enemy army. Excessive suppression and religious conflicts may push gods who are not enemies in the first place to oppose Li Chengqi.
Of course, this does not mean that for Viola to support other religions, she needs to promote freedom of belief and the government should not suppress other religions, but it is enough to strongly support the Demon King's religion.
Only a religion that is open enough can go further, and at least it will not be lost in the eyes of others. Otherwise, if it becomes more and more extreme, it will not only conflict with other religions, but even split into multiple sects within itself.
While Viola was praying, Li Chengqi hurriedly talked to her about this issue. Typical cults like Centipede Lord should be suppressed, but most normal religions should not be discriminated against. At most, they are just restrictions.
Although Viola is an extremely fanatical believer, she can understand what Li Chengqi means. There is no need to make enemies for herself. She will probably discuss it with her staff soon and come up with a policy or other solution.
After confirming that there was no problem with Viola, Li Chengqi turned to look at Yang Yiyi.
Several days had passed since the raid on the Sirius Sect stronghold, and Yang Yiyi and Qin Yan had just emerged from the forest.
Yesterday, they found a hiding place of Qu Hua and his wife, but they did not find Qu Hua and his wife inside. They only found some medicines and daily necessities inside, and there was no sign that anyone had lived there recently.
This made Yang Yiyi a little anxious. After all, her main purpose of coming here was to confirm the safety of her senior sister. Now that I haven't found anyone, I can only go to Liangcheng to meet Zhou Yuxuan and see if there is any good news from him.
Although several days had passed, Li Chengqi did not use the Sky Stone to add points. After all, Qin Yan was beside Yang Yiyi.
When using Optimus Stone to add points, Yang Yiyi will be wrapped in a ball of light. With this kind of sound and light effect, outsiders must not be able to see it. I haven't found a suitable opportunity these days.
And Zhou Yuxuan sent Qin Yan to follow Yang Yiyi, saying that they were looking after each other on the way, but in fact it felt more like surveillance.
After all, her eyes were evasive at that time, as if she had a guilty conscience, and she acted suspiciously.
There is no way, Yang Yiyi is not good at lying.
But Zhou Yuxuan couldn't just let Yang Yiyi be searched. Even if it wasn't for Ning Xianer's sake, it would be too rude.
So Zhou Yuxuan sent Qin Yan to observe quietly to confirm whether the Qingtian Stone was on Yang Yiyi.
If you can see it, there is a ghost. The Qingtian Stone is in the Sumeru Realm. Qin Yan has been monitoring it for several days and found nothing.
But then again, letting them both go together was really torture.
There was no deep hatred, but the two of them disliked each other. It was quite uncomfortable to live and eat together for the past few days.
Qin Yan has always wanted to regain her place and prove that she is a qualified snitch.
Yang Yiyi, on the other hand, felt very uncomfortable because Li Chengqi didn't talk to her for several days because Qin Yan was around.
Fortunately, this situation will be improved soon. The two people emerging from the forest can already see the city gate.
After entering the city, find an inn to stay first, and then take a boat to Liangcheng on the southwest side.
As long as they stay in an inn, they can naturally sleep in separate rooms without seeing each other's faces again. Moreover, the inn also provides hot water, so you can take the opportunity to take a good bath.
Then again, Zhou Yuxuan mentioned before that the Prime Stone needs to be melted with real water. The resulting liquid can greatly increase a person's power and even cut off his hair and cleanse his marrow.
This is obviously completely different from the situation where Li Chengqi added points to Yang Yiyi, and it sounds a bit like nonsense.
After all, real water is actually mercury. Pour the mercury on the Skystone and drink the melted mixed liquid...
Brother, are you sure that after drinking this thing, your power will be greatly increased instead of rising in place?
