How Am I Still Alive?

The small stone pavilion became a sea of ​​flowers. The blue-purple flowers swayed with the wind, and the soothing fragrance of the flowers also made the two people in the pavilion relax a lot.

Surrounded by flowers, the faint floral fragrance of lavender becomes intense.

Wang Hai, who was originally frowning, also eased his tense expression.

".Yes, it works. And there seems to be no side effects, but my condition is a bit serious and it will take a little time, if you are not in a hurry."

"It's okay, it's just that we can chat, then classmates, and maybe colleagues."

Hearing this, Wang Hai laughed, he thought for a while, and picked out some topics that the other party might be interested in.

For example, the scope of work of the official secret keeper, such as some common rules in Gucheng University, and the ubiquitous riddlemen and secret societies.

In a sense, Lu Pingan's web-weaving lavender wood is not Lu Pingan's original magic plant, but a modification of his predecessor's achievements, and the title is quite reluctant.

Lavender, this kind of plant is very special in the history of secret keepers. It used to be the professional symbol of secret keepers, and it was also used as a tool for "cleaning up" pollution after the event, to reduce the "pollution concentration" of a certain area.

Naturally, considering the needs of actual combat, gardeners of all ages have improved "lavender".

Although lavender is not the only "pollution absorbing" magic plant, due to enough improvements, modern lavender-like magic plants are still synonymous with "pollution purification".

".Flower therapy, it's quite expensive. Or I'd better pay for it"

"No, it looks like a lot of plants, but in fact the roots below are connected. There is only one plant, which is less than one-tenth of what I consumed when I beat you."

Lu Pingan's words almost made it impossible to continue the topic.

The essence of the magic plant's "absorption" and "purification" of pollution is to turn it into nutrition for its own growth, and it will naturally be absorbed after eating it.

After countless generations of improvement, the "purification" effect of lavender magic plants is no longer comparable to ordinary magic plants, and the effect is at least a hundred times that of ordinary magic plants.

But this also means a very high cost. Enchanted lavender needs enough time to grow, and the effect is slow, and it needs quantity to accumulate the effect.

And the magic plant has no "purification" effect when it is full, and it is easy to become a one-time "expensive flower therapy". Hundreds or thousands of plants at a time require extremely high cultivation costs.

Therefore, there are two directions for improvement here.

One is to reduce the cost of a single plant, accelerate its growth, and use quantity to make up for quality.

One is to use "grafting" for re-improvement, and the plural lavender plants become a "lavender wood".

The main body of Lu Ping'an's "weaving lavender wood" is the latter, and there are at least hundreds of flowers spreading on the root.

He also used his ability to extract several "lavender purification modules", and after repeated arrangement and combination, he finally formed a "web-weaving lavender wood".

However, it still seems to be a one-time product. After this use, it won't absorb a lot of pollution in a short time.

And the keepers will take away or destroy it to avoid secondary pollution.

In actual combat, the fragile wooden body is still a fatal weakness. It can be burned clean with a single fire, and the "purification" effect is extremely slow, and the actual combat effect is low.

And because they only used "seeds", they didn't listen to Lu Ping'an's command, but this kind of non-combat magic plant, just plant it, and don't need command.

"...Indeed, if there is only one plant, the cost will come down."

"Um."

A person who is too good at chatting (talking to death) sits with a person who is not very chatty, and it will naturally become an awkward chat.

And in order to wait for the flower therapy to take effect, and wait for the "Lavender Wood" to be completely fed and invalidated, they can only chat here and there.

Fortunately, after a while, Mao Mao, who was walking step by step, came to find him, which relieved the embarrassing atmosphere.

"Did you do well in the exam?"

"Thank you. Thanks to you, there should be something wrong with Mi."

In Maomao's smiling face, it's just that the smile is a bit unbearable.

Although it will take some time to calculate the results, thanks to Lu Ping'an's victory over Wang Hai, her points should not be a problem.

And seeing these lavenders, the cat also took the initiative to meow over to rub the flowers. She squinted her eyes and lay down on the stone table with a happy face. In fact, she is the same as Wang Hai, and she must always struggle with her own abilities.

After this battle, "cold compress" is definitely a good thing that is beneficial and harmless.

"...By the way, you all have to go to the special service team for an internship, so let's add a chat room."

Finally, Wang Hai squeezed out a topic of conversation.

chatroom? Isn't that the privilege of the official big website?

It turned out that this was an official communication channel, a communication group specially prepared for "candidates who are about to become members of the ancient city special service team and other official institutions".

"We are in the same period, maybe we will still be colleagues in the future, and we will communicate more in the future."

Official "candidates" find a channel to hold a group in advance? Lu Pingan understood in seconds.

With Wang Hai's recommendation and the endorsement of the person in charge, Lu Ping'an and Mao Mao quickly joined the group and found out that the owner of the chat room is Li Dao'an, and several third-orders are there.

Not to mention, in the database of this chat room, there is really a lot of interesting information that Lu Pingan couldn't get to before.

For example, shortly after enrolling, people will be transferred to the special service team for "internships" to receive scholarships and salaries. The second and third tiers must go, and the first tier can apply.

Zero order? Go to school honestly, there are not many zero-orders in this group.

The few are basically "relationship households" like Maomao before, who have decided to take this path, but are not yet mature.

There are not many public materials, mainly the content that candidates are most concerned about.

It mentioned that after Gucheng entered school, its management was rather loose, and various clubs, groups, and genres became the mainstream. As long as the schoolwork was completed, the school would not interfere too much.

These things are semi-public information, and they are very simple. Lu Pingan just browsed through them casually, and lost interest.

He is rather interested in the career of a real secret keeper, as well as his future career. These, the people in front of him, seem to be able to give an answer.

"Oh, this, I was a 'surveillance object' back then, and then I got on this road inexplicably."

This was the reason why Lu Pingan felt that Wang Hai was somewhat similar to him. From the public information, Wang Hai was also a survivor of a certain incident.

He who turned into a ghost was not executed on the spot, only because he miraculously regained his sanity, and he was too young at that time.

From all aspects, he is Lu Pingan's "predecessor". Now that he owes Lu Pingan a big favor, he is naturally willing to repay it.

"Third rank? Compared with other third ranks, I have only two paths to support me. I am indeed weak, but there is no way. I need to quickly increase the rank to curb the loss of control of my ability."

"Student Lei is the same, but if your 'cat' hasn't deteriorated, don't rush to enter the second level. If you advance to the second level too early, it will stimulate your talent to grow further."

Lu Pingan had no chance to touch these things before.

In a sense, "occupation" is to curb the deterioration of "talented occupations (abilities)".

But this kind of check and balance is always two-way. If your occupation rank is too high, but your natural ability is low, it will lead to "river flooding", forcing your natural ability to evolve on its own.

For many people, this may not be a good thing, especially for Lei Shuiyun's self-changing department, so Wang Hai passed on his experience.

Wang Hai himself had no choice. His "Sura War Ghost" was out of balance from the very beginning, and he had to quickly upgrade to maintain his balance. He even specially took the path of the enlightened person to strengthen the blockade, and his powerful natural abilities also "flowed backwards" , forcing him to grow rapidly all the way (if he doesn't grow or die).

In a sense, everything about him is created by innate abilities. The "fighter" path to exercise the body, and the "enlightened person" to exercise the mind and will are all part of strengthening this "cage".

If it weren't for the "Sura evil ghost", he should be weaker than the ordinary third-level fighters who have accumulated for a long time, but if he really releases the evil ghosts, he can challenge the fourth-level fighters in his prime. After beating him, he will be gone, or not people.

Lu Pingan, who had gained some experience, nodded. There are quite a lot of examples of such "overwhelming" around him, including Xue En and Xia Qin among the people he knows.

They may all belong to the type whose natural abilities are too dangerous and can be suppressed for as long as possible.

Entering high-level too early will delay the evolution of their talents and abilities.

And when the professional level is stuck at the bottleneck, but the talent and ability are still steadily improving, it is also the most common unsolvable doomsday for a secret keeper.

Being able to spend more time at level 0 and level 1 and accumulate more foundations is the way to survive in the long run, and many people can't ask for it.

".But I heard that Xia Qin has recently become the captain. In order to convince the public, she might be promoted."

Lu Pingan nodded thoughtfully, but said nothing.

On the other hand, Mao Mao over there started to sell brother directly.

"My brother is also a special service member. It's the same. He's also been under-ranked for a long time. In fact, it's almost the same in the past two years. But recently, it seems that due to some reasons, he is already preparing to be promoted to the third level."

"Your brother? Quasi-third rank? Which one?"

"Thunderblade?"

"Oh, 'Heart Blade Flowing Fire', he is very strong. It's just that his current female captain is more famous. It seems that he learned from a sword master, and his swordsmanship is very famous among the younger generation."

Said, Wang Hai also relaxed a lot, confirmed that the two people on the opposite side were "Gen Hongmiaozheng", and he began to reveal more "semi-public" information.

At this time, the two young people came into contact with the official secret keeper circle for the first time.

And Wang Hai and the others have been inside from the very beginning.

And this also vaguely reveals a reality. Due to the severe situation, I am afraid that the young secret keeper elites who were "overwhelmed" before have let go of their hands and feet and accelerated their promotion.

If he died in the mission due to lack of strength, it would be a joke to think about "out of control in the future".

They have a common career plan, they may be colleagues in the future, and there is also a tool to ease the atmosphere, which is naturally a lot more comfortable to talk about.

The three of them stayed here and were not in a hurry to go back. In fact, they were also waiting for something.

"The results are finally out! Lu Ping'an, you are 17th in the last round, and you are ranked ninth in the overall ranking! You are the only first rank among the top 30. You have received all the bonuses and prizes! Just announced, this time the top ten will all be given to you." Silver taboo item!"

"Hey, it's a bit miserable."

Lu Pingan sighed helplessly, unfortunately, he was not the champion, how could he explain this to Xue En, who has been helping him with special training.

In an instant, the cat jumped up!
