207 Talent
Zhao Jiuzhou got up from Liu Yanyan almost two hours later. Listening to the sound of water running from the bathroom, Zhao Jiuzhou walked to the balcony outside the bedroom, shirtless.
Looking up, the fairy peach trees planted a year ago in the manor downstairs have obviously grown a lot. These spiritual plants that rely on the "blood soil" corroded by the monster's spiritual power are so tenacious that they can
The taste is as tricky as the maggots in a manure pit. But it is such a disgusting thing, but it provides an indispensable blessing for human beings' modern life.
When the mainstream media around the world unanimously promote the unreliability of magicians and demonize magic talismans at the same time, major families all over the world, but they all have their own fairy peach trees.
.
Every year, more than 90% of the fairy peach trees cut down around the world are made into various psychic protective gears, which are consumed by the richest and most powerful people in the world, while those ordinary people who cannot afford it at all are spreading propaganda
Under the brainwashing of the system, he insisted that the mysterious talisman was useless, and if he was killed by a monster one day, he would not blame the powerful people at all.
And this situation is becoming more and more prominent in the Silver Alliance.
Originally, the Silver League would issue mysterious talismans to all people in the alliance every year. Even after the mystical masters were stigmatized, the mysterious talismans had been distributed for free as daily security and defense supplies. However, after Nie Zhiyuan came to power, the Silver League
Mengtang's public safety expenditures have been falling again and again. Since last year, Mengtang has stopped issuing free magic talismans to ordinary people.
If the hundreds of millions of temporary workers and ordinary people outside the system in the league have such needs, they can only spend their own money to buy it. Only those with formal system establishments and at least apprenticeships can get it.
And there aren’t many of them, so it’s better than nothing.
It stands to reason that this sudden reduction of life-threatening welfare benefits should have caused a very strong public backlash. However, due to the early promotion work, this policy did not even make a splash within the Silver League.
The common people accepted it calmly.
In contrast, the Silver League's reform of the demon hunter system has been in turmoil for the past two years. There have been strong protests in all parts of the league, except for Anxi Prefecture, which has just joined, and in the other sects.
Especially in Southeast and Nanzhou, which have the lowest degree of institutionalization and the highest degree of marketization, all demon hunters outside the system who lack the institutional power to back up their demon hunter titles have had fifty or one hundred demon hunter title subsidies deducted for no reason every month.
All of them behaved quite indignantly.
The free life in Southeast Prefecture and Nan Prefecture that the people of Sheji Prefecture yearn for is obviously not given for free. Demon hunters outside the system who can live a prosperous life like Brother Cemetery are, after all, a minority among the minority. More systems
Outsider demon hunters actually live a life where they have to make careful calculations every month.
Especially at the bottom, there are a huge number of bronze demon hunters. Even though the monthly subsidy for the title of bronze demon hunter is only 50 silver coins, for the real bottom, going to the vegetable market to buy food is not enough.
For fifty cents, they can argue with the proprietress of the vegetable stall for half an hour. If it goes up a bit further, a silver demon hunter will get one hundred yuan a month, and a gold demon hunter will get two hundred yuan a month. If the ratio increases, the losses for this group of people will be
Even bigger. The Diamond Demon Hunter costs 400 yuan a month, which is a huge subsidy of nearly 5,000 yuan a year.
Even though the income of Diamond Demon Hunters is generally relatively high, in the Silver League where the average salary of temporary workers is only six to seven hundred silver coins per month, this is still a huge amount of money. Therefore, even some gangsters
The King Demon Hunters who are not doing well have been cut off from their annual subsidy of more than 10,000 yuan. They have been making trouble with the Bronze Demon Hunters in the past two years. In the face of real profits, what kind of kings are shameless?
, it’s all bullshit!
In the nearly three years that Zhao Jiuzhou has been studying in the Academy and Training Institute, there have been at least 16 large-scale demon hunter protest marches throughout the Silver Alliance. The smaller ones have been held almost every week.
can see.
But despite this, the Baiyin League Hall and the Council of Elders still have no intention of compromising.
The Presbyterian Council and the Alliance Hall have not only cut off the Mysterious Talisman and Demon Hunter subsidies, but have even lowered the basic salary of personnel within the system. The reason is also very good. The reconstruction work east of the Mara Gobi Canyon is still ongoing.
Continuing, Southwest State has been continuously affected by natural disasters in the past two years, so it is in short supply of energy and needs to build more "artificial no-traffic zones" to ensure the supply of crystal cores. The economic sanctions imposed by the Gold Alliance on the Silver Alliance have intensified, so the personnel within the system must work together to tide over the difficulties.
, anyway, money is needed everywhere.
Nie Zhiyuan issues an order to lead the alliance every six months on average, which is very organized and confident.
"Damn, what a talent..."
Zhao Jiuzhou looked at the quiet large manor, his thoughts drifting further and further away.
At this time, Liu Yanyan appeared behind him as if he had no weight, gently hugged his waist, and pressed his fragrantly washed body against his back. The double balcony felt great, and whispered: "How about I take it with you?"
If Si'an stays here permanently, this place will become more popular."
Zhao Jiuzhou probably knew Liu Yanyan's little thoughts. She thought that this house was located in the restricted area of Wusundun. She and Xiao Si'an were both half-weirds. They were not afraid of monster attacks anyway, so they could have the manor to themselves.
.
But she obviously still didn't understand that Zhao Jiuzhou used this room as a refuge.
At some point when the last resort comes, the whole family will still have to live here.
"Okay, I'll build another room over there for Xiao Dongchen..." Zhao Jiuzhou pointed to the flat land in the distance, "We also need an auxiliary building here."
Liu Yanyan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is that Xiao Dongchen going to live here for a long time?"
"Yes." Zhao Jiuzhou nodded, grabbed her hand on his waist, squeezed it gently, and said slowly, "This person is very useful to me, but you'd better have less contact with him. He is a loser.
, I have never had any good food in my life, if you talk to him a few more words, he will think that you are interested in him, and then he will 100% have random thoughts."
Liu Yanyan couldn't help but chuckled: "Am I so charming?"
"It's so special, okay." Zhao Jiuzhou pulled her in front of him, held her in his arms, and continued, "There is no shortage of energy here, but there is also a shortage of water. I was in the library downstairs a few days ago.
Here, I saw a kind of floating island that could float in the air and collect water vapor during Geng Jiangyue's time. I plan to study it and build one here to use as a water tower..."
"It feels like you are addicted to playing these things..."
"You have to find something to do, otherwise I will just play with you all day long. If I can stand it, you can't. If you can stand it, your skin tissue can't stand it. If you keep coming, your skin will be worn out, right?
?”
Liu Yanyan burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, you can still say it so seriously if you say something so obscene."
While the flowers were trembling in Zhao Jiuzhou's arms, the protective shield outside the old wooden house manor was suddenly slightly disturbed.
Zhao Jiuzhou, who has unparalleled inspiration, instantly noticed the problem.
While frowning slightly, Xiao Dongchen and Mr. Fourteen also looked at each other in the basement of the old wooden house.
"Who's coming again?" Xiao Dongchen asked.
Mr. Fourteen shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Zhao Jiuzhou didn't even do anything himself."
On the other end, under the protective wall of the old wooden house, inside the trunk of a fairy peach tree, Scorpio appeared as if he had merged with the tree. He looked around, thinking that he was unaware of it.
A puff of smoke ran into the garage entrance of the old wooden house. On the balcony on the second floor of the old wooden house, Zhao Jiuzhou hugged Liu Yanyan, taking in all Scorpio's whereabouts, and smiled.
He actually knows how to escape...
