Tai Ting, Kong Wei and the Hui Renxing Warlock were waiting anxiously outside Daxia. They were all ready to award Cheng Jinzhou with the three-star warlock badge.

Normally, the promotion of a three-star warlock only requires the participation of the local star warlock association. But considering the topic about the Holy Cliff, three members of the Star Warlock Committee who thought they knew the truth took the initiative to come to Daxia.

For them, Cheng Jinzhou's identity as a priest in the temple is obviously not the problem. All Star Warlocks belong to the Star Warlock Association. Although this point is not recognized by everyone, it can be used as a shield.

Of course, it was somewhat unjustifiable for three fourth-level star warlocks to issue badges to a three-star warlock, but none of them were willing to give in, so that they lost the chance to meet the practitioners of the Holy Cliff, so they had no choice but to come together. It is nominally said to be a trip to Daxia.

There is no powerful organization in Xingzhou to control the behavior of the fourth-level star warlocks. Instead, because three fourth-level star warlocks were dispatched together, the committee's permanent service organization had to equip them with a Dawn-class airship, a 300-meter-long ship. The body is much more attractive than Warlock Jiang Huangxing's private airship. Comparing the two is like comparing a luxury bus to a luxury car.

Not only that, because the reason the three of them came to Daxia was to award Cheng Jinzhou a three-star warlock with a badge, they had to wait outside the border of Daxia unless classmate Xiao Cheng became a three-star warlock.

Life on the airship is not bad, but because the number of servants is too small, it is not easy to live comfortably. The main function of the Star Warlock Association's airship is not only transportation, but also combat. Especially in the Dawn-class airship, basic living facilities are available, but it is difficult to enjoy a luxurious life. The freshness of the food is limited. The chefs are all part-time, and trying to cook something delicious is almost a fantasy.

This kind of life is not what Xingzhou Star Warlocks are used to. Kong Wei has said it more than once: There are chefs on the Rizheng-class airships who can use star arrays, and there are chefs who can cook fish...

Hui Minren didn't care, he just held the book and read there, and then quietly waited for the communication star array to send back the news.

The Star Warlock Association's contribution point reward system is notoriously slow. Many of the contribution points obtained by Star Warlocks came from half a year or even a year ago.

Cheng Jinzhou’s first article was published just one year ago, and it still brings dozens of contribution points every month. In many cases, it gets more contribution points than newly released papers. It is understandable that most astromancers take longer to understand the most advanced mathematics.

But for the three level four star warlocks, not knowing when Cheng Jinzhou can collect 1,000 contribution points and not knowing when he will renew the certification stone is the worst thing.

After two days of eating on the airship, Kong Wei was already more looking forward to his contribution points improving than Cheng Jinzhou himself.

…

Dean.

Cheng Jinzhou left behind two thousand kilograms of grain and sold the rest to the Star Alliance.

The figure of 35,000 tons was quite shocking, and he had to change the guards of the warehouse again to prevent anyone from asking where the long stretch of grain along the river bank had gone.

After completing all the transaction procedures, Cheng Jinzhou called out Yi Su and asked, "Do you know how to grow pearl rice? It's time to plant it soon."

High-grade grains are also available twice a year.

He almost met Buddha, which made Yi Su look a little worried on his face and said: "How many did you buy?"

"Buy as much as you want." Cheng Jinzhou opened the independent trading platform and said: "Buddha has canceled the purchase restrictions on both real rice and pearl rice, but I tried it, and it seems that I can only buy it directly, and I can't talk to the merchants."

"Well done, you can steal food from the customer service tiger's mouth." Yisu couldn't see the conversation between Cheng Jinzhou and Fo Ye, so he praised it and said: "It's useless for you to buy higher-grade rice. It's not sure whether you can grow pearl rice now." .”

"What you said is very similar to Buddha." Cheng Jinzhou laughed.

Ys was floating in the void and said nostalgically: "Customer service in the Star Alliance requires 300 years of formal education before they can serve. Of course, the rules are well understood. Do you know how many weird agents there are in the world? How many weird questions will be asked? Our graduation exam at that time required that all questions must be answered within 30 seconds, and 95% of the questions were required to be answered within 10 seconds, with an accuracy rate of 98%. It was really exhausting."

"Going to school for 300 years?" Cheng Jinzhou was surprised. He went to school for 20 years and was already suffering to death.

"It took me 300 years of studying in the academy before I realized that the most important thing in customer service is to deal with interpersonal relationships and know when to break the rules and circumvent them." Yisu sighed for a few words, then changed the subject and said: "Planting Pearl Rice" , it requires the provision of various elements. From your understanding, it is special fertilizer, so that it can grow normally. And depending on the fertilizer, the pearl rice grown is different. "

"Fertilizers like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium?" Cheng Jinzhou has never studied agriculture, but he has always heard of it.

"It's more complicated and simpler than that." Yisu organized his words and said: "You need to provide Zhumi with an element. Depending on the element provided, Zhumi will show different properties. For example, if you provide iron element to Zhumi, , the grown real rice has the function of supplementing iron to the human body, and after proper treatment, it can increase the hardness of the body, and the same is true for tungsten. If you provide gold, it can supplement the flexibility, and indium can improve it. Some vision levels. Other fertilizers just normal."

Cheng Jinzhou was stunned and said: "Then I bury the iron directly in the ground? Iron ore?

"There needs to be a certain concentration of iron, otherwise it will affect the growth rate. You definitely can't eat pearl rice now because your physical condition is too poor. Lu Xu can do that. When you eat it, the elements in the pearl rice are in an active state. , and then it can be eaten." Yisu explained one by one: "In terms of planting, you can plant pearl rice containing different elements, but not all pearl rice is useful, or some pearl rice may be useful, but the demand is too small. It can’t be sold for money. As I just said, pearl rice with added iron elements is a good choice.”

Cheng Jinzhou listened to his complicated introduction, shrugged, and asked the most crucial question: "What price?"

“It depends on the element, but it’s at least 4 times the price of real rice.”

Cheng Jinzhou whistled, it was already 512 times the price of ordinary rice.

Seeing the warehouse full of real rice and pearl rice seeds, Cheng Jinzhou silently considered the issues of land and manpower.

Now that rice has almost begun to be planted in southwest Daxia, it will be very troublesome to find tenants. Not to mention the cost per acre of land, just to cultivate 150,000 acres of land would require at least 20,000 to 30,000 households, which is equivalent to the population of De'an.

Even in the entire Nanling, I'm afraid there won't be such a large number of idle people. Just like in ancient Chinese society, each household is the basic unit of production. We cannot imagine that tens of thousands of men will be brought here to cultivate hundreds of thousands of acres of land. The effect of a group of men is not necessarily any better than that of a group of cows.

He was sitting on the pile of wheat and thinking, but he heard someone shouting in the sky: "Cheng Jinzhou Star Warlock, Cheng Jinzhou Star Warlock."

Yisu disappeared with a faint sound, and Shi Mo from outside also knocked on the door: "Third brother, I think he is Xi Wuyong Star Warlock."

Cheng Jinzhou arranged his clothes, walked out of the barn, and looked up.

Xi Wuyong flew down furiously and said loudly: "Master Cheng, today's "Journal of Xia Jing Academic Journal" is published. Why don't you update the certification stone?"

There are several journals published at the same time as "Xiajing Academic Journal", but when everyone talks about it, they will pay attention to the number one among them.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows strangely and said, "I don't have much time now."

Xi Wuyong now had to lower his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Several fourth-level star warlocks from Xingzhou are waiting outside Daxia. If your contribution points are not 1,000, they will not be able to enter Daxia."

"It's troublesome, then go ahead." Cheng Jinzhou really felt troublesome. He was not a native of Daxia, and he had no favorable impression of a place like Xingzhou. Chinese people in the 21st century are very particular about their regions, and he doesn't think it's unusual to have a fourth-level star warlock. It's like seeing too many tigers in the zoo, and you feel that among all the tigers in the world, they are best at sleeping.

On the contrary, Xi Wuyong felt that he could not see through Cheng Jinzhou more and more. Three fourth-level star warlocks came to Daxia, let alone to issue badges, even if they summoned a first-level two-star warlock (the star array has not yet been engraved, it does not count as a level), they should be grateful.

Think about it when Warlock Guo Jingxing comes to Xia Jing, and all the people in the capital look strange. Cheng Jinzhou's calmness made Xi Wuyong feel depressed. He took a step forward and took off first, but felt something was wrong, so he slowly slowed down, and waited for Cheng Jinzhou to pass him slowly, then quietly followed behind, and whispered: "The Star Warlock Association of Nanling is here with a set of materials. ”

The contribution points must be matched with the Star Warlock's own certification stone to be effective, so that if some Star Warlocks die, the article will still be effective. It is impossible for the association to allow the earthly successors of Star Warlocks to enjoy the glory of Star Warlocks.

Guo Xiao had been waiting at the De'an County Government Office for a long time, curiously looking at the luxurious furniture in the room.

In the hundreds of years of history of the Cheng family, there has never been a shortage of visionary children, but only money. After Cheng Jinzhou decided to spruce up the county government office, the third generation of the Cheng family with a monthly income of 100,000 taels of silver could enjoy rooms that were no worse than those of the wealthy families in the capital. Even a first-class star warlock like Guo Xiao was rarely seen on weekdays.

If it weren't for his financial constraints, Guo Xiao wouldn't have worked in the Star Warlock Association to earn contribution points.

Cheng Jinzhou fell from the sky in a hurry. The open patio allowed him to fly directly to any room in the county government office - the same benefit brought by the decoration.

Guo Xiao quickly stood up and bowed to greet him.

"Where is the certification stone plug?" Cheng Jinzhou glanced at Guo Xiao's first-level star warlock's badge and nodded slightly.

Guo Xiao quickly took out the instruments he brought with him. If it were a smaller Star Warlock Association, it would not have such convenient services.

Xi Wuyong looked at the yellow light of the certification stone and clapped his hands happily: "Congratulations to Star Warlock Cheng Jinzhou for becoming a three-star warlock. You are the youngest three-star warlock in Daxia in the past hundred years."

As he spoke, he took a breath again and bowed to invite: "Jiang Huangxing Warlock has prepared a banquet. From today on, we will celebrate you specifically for three days, on the south bank of the Jianhe River. At that time, three fourth-level star warlocks will , maybe he’ll come too.”
