Future library

The news that Cheng Jinzhou could not bear the star points, and therefore could not carve the star array, immediately reached the ears of those who were interested. Even Shen Cong didn't know where he found out. Of course, a normal Star Warlock would not talk about such a topic without any trouble, but with the large number of Star Warlock apprentices, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. In addition, outsiders really lack understanding of the life of a Star Warlock. Examples like Xiao Cheng's have become a pastime after dinner.

In fact, it is normal for a 13-year-old boy not to be able to carve star arrays. However, the names of Warlock Jiang Huangxing and Warlock An Fengxing are too great. Cheng Jinzhou can stand out in a meeting where they both appear at the same time. For those who pay attention to the stars, For people who are warlocks, they naturally have to look at it from a different perspective.

Cheng Jinzhou was naturally equally disappointed. In fact, what worried him more was not that his weak body could not bear the star points, but whether his soul, which had arrived on this continent for unknown reasons, could bear the star points...

Apparently, no one could answer his question.

The turbid white color swayed in front of his eyes from time to time, as if taunting him, causing him to constantly shift his attention.

Shen Cong looked at Cheng Jinzhou next to him apologetically, and turned a deaf ear to the professor's words on the stage. In fact, meeting the Minister of Dali Temple did not take five or six days to prepare for such a thing. He was also kind-hearted. He felt that the star warlock's contribution was hard-earned, and he also felt that Cheng Jinzhou's rise was obvious, so he wanted to use his father's name to get together with Cheng Jinzhou Star. The identity of the warlock put some pressure on him, but unexpectedly, news suddenly came out that Cheng Jinzhou could not bear the star point, and all the previous efforts and preparations were immediately in vain.

Regardless of whether it is the imperial court or the Star Warlock Association, they naturally treat Star Warlocks with three stars and above with utmost honor and favor - but for Star Warlocks with three stars and below, whether people show help or flattery, it is all about the future. The investments, in other words, are valued for their potential. The inability to withstand star points means that Cheng Jinzhou will not be able to become a high-level star warlock for at least a few years. The most important thing is that without the star array, he cannot conduct more advanced research - for the star warlocks, the star array is theirs. Instruments, their computers - they couldn't directly fight, couldn't directly make items, and at his age, it was difficult for him to hold a position in the Astromancer Association.

As a result, text message investment instantly turned into an uncertain long-term investment, and it was projected on the 68-year-old Dali Temple Qing. He might not be able to wait for the day when Cheng Jinzhou would repay him.

Because of this, Shen Cong's decision on his own was equivalent to a waste of four or five days. Even after learning that Cheng Jinzhou's "wealthy" people did not have enough honors, the gentlemen from Dali Temple dared to take a bite out of him.

In this regard, even Shen Zhecong had nothing to say. The Minister of Dali Temple is also a fourth-level senior official. He is not under the same command, so it is impossible to listen to him.

It is a tradition for professors in Hongwen Hall to chatter endlessly, and the students below do not care whether they listen or not, but they do not whisper. However, when the gong sounded for the end of get out of class, children from noble families ran around as if they had just come to life.

Shen Yanqi quickly wandered into the room of Class 3. He didn't say much, just wandering around Cheng Jinzhou, wandering, wandering, wandering...

Father Shen must have given him instructions, and he didn't dare to really challenge Cheng Jinzhou. Today, Xiao Cheng's classmate brought two fierce men with him. But when he heard that the other party couldn't bear the star point, Shen Yanqi couldn't help but want to see Cheng Jinzhou's expression. He thought that the young man who was suddenly hit must have a wonderful look on his face.

It's a pity that Xiao Cheng is always looking out the window, thinking about life and ideals... Contrary to Shen Cong's expectation, he is not afraid of wasting some contribution points. Facts have proved that it is not difficult at all for him to obtain contribution points. He is just Just worried. In contrast, Cheng Jinzhou is more concerned about whether his father can get out of the quagmire. The position of Shaonan Zhizhou is not high, but it is a very important official career experience. If it is erased, the eight years will be in vain. No amount of money can make up for this qualification. Sons are valued by their fathers, and this has been the case since ancient times. Without the protection of Father Shen, who was in a high position, Cheng Jinzhou had experienced the warmth and coldness of the world in just two months, and he naturally felt the difference.

Shen Cong glanced at his brother boredly. His father's famous saying was to make good friends with Cheng Jinzhou, but Shen Yanqi couldn't directly violate it. The latter was kicking his official boots and walking around, which was indeed boring.

Just when Shen Yanqi was about to leave, classmate Lu Anping walked in the door excitedly. He also had issues with Cheng Jinzhou, and his feelings for him were similar to Shen Yanqi's. The latter immediately stopped and even found a place to sit down, as if waiting to watch the show.

Lu Anping made big movements, held his head high, and said with great energy: "I heard some interesting things recently."

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyes and saw the excited look on this guy's face. He frowned, stood up, and whispered to Shen Cong, "Let's go."

"So urgent?" Lu Anping answered quickly, as if he was really talking to Cheng Jinzhou. And he looked eager to try it, just like a fat man who finally bought barbecue after 10 minutes of queuing.

Cheng Jinzhou glanced at him, nodded slightly and said: "I have accumulated more than 50 contribution points recently, and I am quite busy with the work at hand."

"It's because I can't spend it." Even though he was crazy with envy, Lu Anping still pretended to look down on 50 contribution points.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled calmly, walked past him, and lowered his voice at the same time: "For 50 contribution points, I can hire a star warlock to burn down your mansion and shave your head by the way. Do you believe it or not?"

"I am the prince's legitimate son, how dare you?" Lu Anping said with a weak tongue.

"We can bet with 4 contribution points, do you dare?" Cheng Jinzhou curled his lips casually.

Lu Anping felt angry at being slighted, and when Cheng Jinzhou was about to leave, he had a strong desire to hold him back, but in the end, he gave up.

With 4 contribution points, you can buy a battalion of soldiers to kill people.

After leaving the Hongwen Hall, Cheng Jinzhou got on Shi Yan's horse, pulled up the reins and said, "Go to the association, Shen Cong. Please contact Mr. Tang again."

The surname of the minister of Dali Temple is Tang, which is also a common surname in Beijing.

Shen Cong nodded silently and whispered: "Liushiqing is famous for his ability to make money without leakage. If you go to him now, you will definitely be chopped off."

"50 contribution points are not enough?" Cheng Jinzhou snorted. 50 contribution points are equivalent to 30,000 taels of silver. In terms of money, it can only be said to be average in a place like the capital, but it is different if it is contribution points. This is just like among the rural squires. It's nothing if you give away dozens of coins to others, but it's a big deal if you give out 10 acres of land.

…

The Star Warlock Association did not change because of Cheng Jinzhou's changes.

In the lounge upon entering, dozens of round tables were still full, and countless people looked eagerly at the gentlemen who could enter and leave the library. The shrewd businessman chatted with the bartender and collected some information. The gentleman who wanted to ask the star warlock for help had to find a way to exchange some contribution points first. There is also a first-class shop that supplies Star Warlock supplies for a long time, and there are people here all year round. Shen Cong looked at these people with emotion. He often hung out here back then. Like several brothers, they all hoped to obtain the title of Star Warlock to establish an advantage in the family - nobles who could communicate with Star Warlocks, like A hunter who knows the trails will always catch more prey.

Cheng Jinzhou walked through the lounge with his neck straight, and then looked through the newly submitted achievement reports by the star warlocks on the shelf in the data room.

He easily found stacks of articles about geometric optics on the front shelf. In fact, the entire bookshelf was about geometric optics. Not only were more than a dozen Star Warlock apprentices gathered around to read the information, but even the rare Star Warlocks, as many as ten of them, were sitting aside and reading.

Although he was a little confused, Cheng Jinzhou still concentrated on the books and periodicals in front of him.

In addition to the Journal of Xia Jing, the Outer Peninsula also regularly publishes some journals, but they are often more professional, such as: "Journal of Alchemy", "Desert Battlefield Survival", "Algebra", "Application of Circles" and so on... …

The newly released achievement reports cannot be classified into separate journals, nor can they wait for the long publication of several comprehensive journals, and geometric optics is in the explosive stage. This situation is actually encountered by the association often. They improve The best way is not to add journals, but to add a separate bookshelf in the library...

The latter is obviously more convenient than the former and captures the essence of China's reform style.

Cheng Jinzhou was not looking for how many achievement reports cited his own articles. Although the bookshelf was full of hundreds of articles, he knew in his heart that regardless of whether he was an opponent or a supporter, the star warlocks would cite less as a rule - not only Respecting the value of originality, every additional citation requires more review by the association. Even if it is to reduce trouble, the Star Warlocks will not abuse cited articles like the papers Cheng Jinzhou knows. In addition, if it is determined that it is meaningless, then the star warlock will often wear the coat of an incompetent person. If there is an exchange of benefits, his reputation will fall into an abyss of eternal destruction. The association will also decisively deduct the star warlocks' contribution points.

Shen Cong pretended to be an apprentice of a star warlock. Looking at the bookshelf, he found that he had no talent as a star warlock at all. His star points were very low and his grades in mathematics and physics were also very poor. But he still looked at the title of the book. , whispered: "I can add at least 10 contribution points today. Take advantage of this time to save more."

Like Xiang Xin, he didn't think Cheng Jinzhou could continue to gain contribution points.

Classmate Xiao Cheng chuckled and said, "I just came to see how far everyone has gone in their research."

"So you shouldn't throw out the research results so early. I was so excited by the Tang article that day that I don't know how many people are pointing at you for dinner." Shen Cong said it a bit exaggerated, but it was what ordinary people thought.

"It's okay." Cheng Jinzhou didn't believe that he could research anything in a few days. The real article was probably still in the writing stage. In fact, just looking at these results, we can see that they were mostly written by some Star Warlock apprentices. They barely passed the association's review, but it was difficult to get cited by others.

Speaking of which, it is just an article with some basic value.

"I'll make some preparations to see if I can meet with the Minister of Dali Temple tonight." Cheng Jinzhou looked up at Shen Cong and said, "I'll have to trouble you to make arrangements."

The so-called preparation is actually to transfer the association contribution points to a separate certification stone. As for whether Mr. Tang has his own certification stone, there is no need to know.

"If you agree, I'm afraid it will be after dinner." Shen Cong knew in his heart that since Cheng Jinzhou has made it clear that he is not afraid of killing, the other party will probably not refuse to meet, but for a senior official, the meeting between the two is about Just ten minutes.

"Sorry to trouble you." Cheng Jinzhou nodded calmly and lay on the table to write something.

Since you can't make a breakthrough in the star formation, then just become a pure star warlock.
