Electromagnetic Tyrant Chapter 325

Chapter 325: Sky-high Expenses

"What's so urgent, Xinghuo?" Zhong Ming opened the door and welcomed Ji Xinghuo in.

 He did not have a game today, nor did he go to the club for training. He stayed at home and used the expansion magic items to fuse different species.

Ji Xinghuo looked at him and asked directly: "What did the second brother use?"

"I have already used the Blue Sky Fruit, Red Scale Element and Toad Spirit Egg. You said that the Red Emperor Blood Crystal may have side effects, so I plan to evolve to a high-level alien before using it." Zhong Ming replied: "I will fuse the alien species Of blood burning and flying."

 “Is the integration successful?” Ji Xinghuo was very concerned.

 I hardly have to worry about whether the heterogeneous fusion will fail, but failure is common for other aliens.

Moreover, these two alien species are not within Zhong Ming's career template.

"certainly."

Zhong Ming smiled confidently, "Although there is a big gap between me and you now, we are just two different species, so the fusion will not fail."

"That's good." Ji Xinghuo was happy for him, "You just have one more chance to fuse, so fuse it first."

 He took out the alien species with ether affinity.

"Ether affinity?" Zhong Ming was overjoyed. He had just heard Ji Xinghuo say it on the phone, and he was still very excited to see the alien species with his own eyes.

 He is "Pyromaniac", and the six abilities of the professional template include "Aether Sensitivity", which has been fused before.

 Ether Affinity is a "superior ability" with better effects!

 The two superpower effects can also be superimposed.

Ji Xinghuo handed the alien species to Zhong Ming and said: "This etheric affinity was specially obtained for you when I was in the star realm, but I have too many alien species in my hand. I forgot about it when I gave it to you. Fortunately Remember it today.”

 Zhong Ming was speechless.

 Such an important trans-limited alien species can be forgotten.

"I will fuse now." Zhong Ming immediately entered the training room with the alien species.

Ji Xinghuo was sitting alone in the living room waiting. The high-end apartment Zhong Ming rented had an area of ​​more than 100 square meters and was in a good location. His family often had dinner here in the past, so he was familiar with it.

 He suddenly thought of something.

 Since we have a lot of spare money now, should we buy a big house for the family so that they can live together?

 “Let the eldest sister pay attention.”

Ji Xinghuo was about to contact Ye Dongyun when his phone vibrated with a series of messages in the family group.

“I succeeded!” Ye Dongyun made a happy expression and sent several messages: “I have merged with Qingluo Heart Root and become a witch planter.”

 “I will be a stranger from now on.”

 “Thank you, third brother!”

 She was obviously in a very excited mood at the moment.

"Congratulations, eldest sister!" Ji Xinghuo replied a message, and Wang Zizhen and Liangqiu Feiyan also kept sending messages. They were both happy for the eldest sister and very envious of her.

At this time, Ye Dongyun initiated a video call and connected the other two people. As soon as her projection appeared, she could not hide the joy on her face. After several people congratulated her, Ye Dongyun said: "We have five siblings, and there are already three A stranger."

Wang Zizhen said loudly: "I will strive to be the fourth."

“Hmph, I won't hold you back.” Liang Qiu Feiyan clenched her fists, looking like she was going to be serious this time.

Ji Xinghuo is not very optimistic about her.

 In fact, except for his second brother Zhong Ming, he is not optimistic about the prospects of the other three family members.

 The eldest sister's talent is too poor, her physical fitness is average, and she is afraid of frontal combat.

Although she is determined and self-disciplined, once she decides on a goal, she will work hard in that direction. However, talent is more important than hard work, and she is destined not to go very far.

Ji Xinghuo predicted that even if he gave his eldest sister enough resources, the upper limit would be a super alien at most.

Liangqiu Feiyan has a little talent, but she is afraid of hardship and tiredness. She is lively and fun-loving, and she only wants to be an Internet celebrity and star.

 She may never pass the physical fitness test.

 Only Wang Zizhen may have some hope and the greatest potential.

He has shown extremely high fighting talent in the game, with quick reactions and careful thinking. Not only does his operation remain unchanged under high pressure, but he is also calmer and performs exceptionally well. He is a competition-type player, which is a very rare ability.

It is a pity that Wang Zizhen lacks perseverance and self-discipline. In the past, he gave up the path of evolution and became addicted to virtual games because he could not bear the hardship of exercise.

 Even in the game, he hates the boring process and can't stick to it.

So I didn't achieve much success in playing games.

If Wang Zizhen can get rid of these shortcomings, he may be able to achieve something on the road of alien evolution.

However, Wang Zizhen is already 24 years old, and his character has already been established. How easy is it to change it?

 Unless you encounter a huge life change.

 “Where is Xiao Ming?” Ye Dongyun then realized that Zhong Ming had not connected to the video.

"I'm at the second brother's house, he's fusing alien species." Ji Xinghuo explained, and said: "Sister, you have just become a alien, so don't use expansion magic items to fuse other alien species for the time being. Practice for a few days first, and then divide it into several after you get used to it. times used.”

"Okay." Ye Dongyun nodded repeatedly and asked, "Can the ether refining solvent you gave me be used immediately?"

Ji Xinghuo replied: "It can be used."

Coming back from the star realm this time, he specially purchased a batch of ether refining solvent from Chief Hanqiu. One portion can last for 90 days, which is enough for himself and his family to use for a long time.

  He details the effects of aether refining solvents.

 Then, based on his own experience, he helped Ye Dongyun arrange the fusion sequence and the details to pay attention to during practice.

 The wizard's career template has six abilities.

  No matter what profession, the most difficult one is always the first one. As long as the core abilities are integrated, the success rate of other abilities will not be low.

 This is the advantage of professional templates. According to the experience gained by previous people, choosing the right alien species will not only have a high success rate of fusion, but also exert a stronger effect and form a system of superpowers.

As he was talking, Zhong Ming walked out with a smile on his face.

“The etheric affinity is really great!” He fused the alien species and immediately felt the powerful effect. He could directly feel the presence of etheric energy. The effect of his training would definitely be greatly improved, and he couldn't wait to start immediately.

Ji Xinghuo was not surprised at all.

 Ether sensitive and ether affinity, these two alien species are compatible with almost all aliens, and the probability of fusion failure is extremely low.

“Sister.” Zhong Ming saw the video projection and learned that she had become a stranger, so he quickly congratulated her.

Ji Xinghuo said: "There is one thing I want to say."

 The whole family's attention is turned.

"You may have heard of the Ether Research Institute, an institution directly under the Ministry of Star Boundary..." Ji Xinghuo recounted today's situation.

Zhong Ming and the four of them listened with their eyes wide open.

 They do know about the "Aether Research Institute", but it is a legendary institution and ordinary people don't know where it is. The official website of the Astral Ministry only has a simple introduction and no application channels at all.

If Ji Xinghuo didn't tell them, they would never know the inside story for the rest of their lives. It would be like another world.

“Xinghuo, you are really different from what you used to be.” Zhong Ming sighed, “You can get in touch with big shots like Minister Yan at will.”

"yes…"

 Ye Dongyun felt even deeper.

She was a civil servant before. In the two or three years she worked there, she only had contact with officials at the level of district chief. To her, she was already a high-ranking leader. She could be happy for several days if she could leave an impression in front of the other party.

  Minister of the Astral Ministry, that is a high-ranking official who can only be seen in official news. From a distance, he looks like a **** in the sky.

Ji Xinghuo smiled lightly, "In this era, alien evolution is the fastest way to cross classes."

“That's true.” Ye Dongyun felt deeply.

Zhong Ming has long understood this, while Wang Zizhen and Liang Qiu Feiyan are also thoughtful.

Ji Xinghuo said: "Second brother, please go to the Astral Ministry's website and apply for permission to enter the Ether Research Institute."

"ah?"

Zhong Ming looked blank, "Should I apply?"

Just now the third brother said that at least 300 in the top 300 or 100 in the legendary ladder was qualified to apply for the Ether Pacific Energy Room, and it was only qualified. The Star Ministry may not be approved.

"I made an agreement with Minister Yan, and he will pass your review." Ji Xinghuo said with a smile, "Not only you, but Manying will also apply for the qualification to use it."

 He immediately looked at Ye Dongyun.

"Sister, you have just become a foreigner. The cost-effectiveness of using the ether energy gathering chamber for a junior foreigner is very low. Using the ether refining solvent, the cultivation efficiency can be fast enough." Ji Xinghuo explained patiently.

 In addition to this reason, the more important issue is the audit issue.

Although Yan Wenzhu would approve the application of Manying and his second brother for his own sake, this is still suspected of using power for personal gain.

Manying's talent is unparalleled in the world. After applying, no one will question it.

 But the second brother is a bit worse.

　　Although he is a competitive alien, he has not achieved much fame. He is only an intermediate alien, far from the ladder.

 It was because he deliberately exaggerated his second brother's talent in front of Yan Wenzu that Yan Wenzu agreed.

 It would be too much if there was another eldest sister who had just become a foreigner.

 This completely breaks the rules.

Even if you pay with Ether crystals, if someone knows about the situation and leaks it, I won't care. However, Yan Wenzhu and Director Ke, the two main people in charge, are likely to get into a lot of trouble.

"It's okay, just let Xiao Ming go." Ye Dongyun was very considerate and vaguely guessed some of the inside story, and said softly: "Don't make things difficult for Minister Yan."

Ji Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhong Ming realized what he was doing and said anxiously: "Xinghuo, didn't you say that the cost of the ether energy gathering room is very expensive?"

"It's a bit expensive, but I can afford it." Ji Xinghuo looked relaxed.

Zhong Ming asked: "How much is it?"

Ji Xinghuo didn't disclose the price just now. Anyway, he would know sooner or later, so he replied: "If you practice 12 hours a day, 4 hours of it have to be in the ether energy gathering room. Intermediate aliens use the second level ether energy gathering room." The most cost-effective, the cost for one day is 4 million Asian dollars.”

 This is still paid with ether crystals, which is only half the price.

If you pay in cash, the second-level ether energy-concentrating room costs 2 million Asian dollars per hour, and one day of practice costs 8 million Asian dollars.

Several people gasped in unison.

Liangqiu Feiyan quickly calculated: "4 million a day, 120 million a month, and 1.44 billion if you practice for a whole year!"

Her eyes widened as she counted.

"Xinghuo, otherwise let's forget it." Zhong Ming himself was frightened. He was a competitive player in the second-tier league. His income was very high, but the average was only over ten million a year. He also had to pay taxes. millions. Nowadays, going to the Ether Research Institute to practice for one day will cost almost a year's income, which is beyond imagination.

“I said, I can afford it, so I don't have to worry about money.”

Ji Xinghuo has long since passed.

 Six ether crystals a month is really nothing.

It's just equivalent to two Blue Sky Fruits.

 When the ether crystals in my hand are used up, I will go back to Sister Ren's secret realm to pick another batch of fruits and exchange them with the virtual spirit guest.

He was preparing for the future. In the future, he might be away from the earth often, and the family needed a pillar of support. He devoted all his resources to raising his second brother, so that he would have no worries.

"But 1.44 billion a year makes my heart a little unbearable." Zhong Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I only make a few million a year..."

"Hahaha…"

Ji Xinghuo laughed, "Now you are only using the second-level ether energy-concentrating room. In the future, if you are promoted to a super alien, you will have to use the third-level ether energy-concentrating room. It will last longer every day and cost almost 7 billion a year." "

 “Holy shit!” Zhong Ming's hands were trembling.

Ye Dongyun and the other three were also dumbfounded. 7 billion Asian dollars. They could not imagine how long it would take them to earn so much money.

Ji Xinghuo said seriously: "The evolution of aliens is not only the fastest way to transcend classes, but also the fastest way to make money."

“Second brother, when your strength stabilizes, I will take you to the star realm.”

"Maybe it's difficult for other people to make money, but I'm different." Ji Xinghuo smiled confidently, "When the time comes, you will know that money on earth is actually not that valuable. Billions are just a number."

　　A few people looked at each other in shock.

Zhong Ming nodded heavily, "Then I look forward to you taking me flying."

 He immediately logged into the official website of the Astral Ministry, and sure enough, he found something different from before.

 There is an additional option to apply for an Ether Energy Concentration Room in the "Personal Center".

 After filling in the information, Zhong Ming submitted the application.

“The next step is to wait for the approval.” Ji Xinghuo turned on the big screen in the living room, “Manying has a game tonight, do you want to watch it together?”

"I want to see!"

 “Come here now.”

 A moment later, the five siblings gathered at Zhong Ming's house, had dinner together, and then watched the game.

This is just a regular game, but it has attracted several times the number of viewers. The number of online viewers worldwide has exceeded one billion.

　　In the game live broadcast rooms of various channels, dense barrages passed by.

 The family listened to the host's chat before the show started.

Ji Xinghuo's name has been mentioned frequently, even as a subject. From being ranked first on the ladder to being ranked first on the ladder today, the original doubts have long since disappeared and are now more of a curiosity.

 The competition will start soon.

  At the opening ceremony, amid the cheers of hundreds of thousands of spectators, Zhao Manying was the last one to appear as the core of the team. A close-up view of her appeared on the screen, occupying most of the screen with her stunning appearance, arousing praise from countless online viewers.

　　The host was full of praise for her strength and beauty.

“Sword Fairy seems to be different from usual today...” the attentive female host noticed.

 “What's the difference?” asked the host next to him.

The female host immediately replied: "She is radiant and charming. Even if I am not gay, I am very moved when I see Jian Xian's appearance. Jian Xian is obviously nourished by love and is enviable."

　　The male hosts on the commentary desk were silent.

　　On the Internet and in the live broadcast room, the barrage became fierce, arousing heated discussions, and it also rushed to the hot search list on social media.

 “The hatred of your wife is irreconcilable!” Immediately someone started to post a barrage.

 “The knife is killing, killing the dog of the season.”

“It's useless for you to keep surfing the Internet, Ji Xinghuo is now number one on the ladder!”

"That's right."

“When I put the knife in front of Ji Xinghuo, he stood still and let them chop him without even hurting a hair.”

 “This is the strength of the first person below the King of Heaven.”

"Which heavenly king should take action quickly? A lightning strike will kill Ji Xinghuo. Damn it, I envy him so much, wuwuwu..."

The quarrel on the Internet is almost going crazy, but what is different from before is that before, most people criticized Ji Xinghuo, but now there are many people supporting Ji Xinghuo. There is not much difference in the number of people on both sides, and people on both sides can be seen arguing fiercely everywhere.

However, there are more people eating melons and watching the theater.

"It's really interesting, haha!" Liang Qiu Feiyan said with a smile on her face, "Ever since I met Sister Manying, my favorite thing is to watch people quarrel with Third Brother over her. It's very satisfying."

She came over and asked curiously: "Third brother, was it better to say goodbye than to get married last night?"

 “Ahem…”

Ji Xinghuo coughed dryly and did not answer, but it was regarded as acquiescence.

 Zhong Ming gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Zizhen shook his head and said: "I used to watch people arguing online, but now the person involved is sitting next to me. It feels amazing."

“The third brother has a girlfriend, when will you fall in love?” the eldest sister Ye Dongyun asked abruptly.

Zhong Ming spread his hands and said, "We are still young, so there is no rush. If we want to talk, it's up to you, eldest sister, to talk first."

“That's right, falling in love is so boring.” Liang Qiu Feiyan agreed.

Of the five siblings, apart from Ji Xinghuo, only Zhong Ming had a girlfriend when he was in college, but they broke up later.

 In this day and age, there are many celibates.

 Many people never fall in love, let alone get married, in their entire lives. They pursue freedom in life wholeheartedly and do not want to be bound by their partners.

 The number of original families has been greatly reduced. Even if there are public families, the AsiPacific community has irreversibly become an atomized society.

"I haven't met the person I'm interested in." Ye Dongyun sighed, "Otherwise, I would be quite happy to have a few relationships. If the time comes in the future, I would also be willing to get married and have children to add a few more members to our family."

Ji Xinghuo comforted: "Sister, you will meet me."

"I'd like to lend you some good words." Ye Dongyun nodded, his expression becoming solemn: "But I want to remind everyone, because we have Xinghuo in our family, if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you must speak up in time, and we can tell whether it is sincere or not. Pretend to get close to Starfire.”

Hearing this, Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but look at her twice. In fact, he had thought about it, but it was not suitable for him to say.

As the eldest sister, Ye Dongyun should give her a warning.

"knew."

 “We are not fools, we are not that easy to deceive.”

Zhong Ming and Liang Qiu Feiyan immediately expressed their opinions, and Wang Zizhen even said: "I don't want to talk about a girlfriend at all. Women will only affect my exercise, delay me from becoming a different person, and are a stumbling block on the road of evolution."

 “Hahahaha…” Everyone laughed.

 While talking and laughing, the family finished watching the game. Without any surprise, Zhao Manying led the team to victory.

 “I went to pick up Manying.”

Ji Xinghuo said goodbye to his family, drove the maglev to Tianqin Stadium, picked up Zhao Manying and went to have supper with him.

By the way, he told her about the Ether Research Laboratory.

 “Ether Energy Concentration Room!”

Zhao Manying was very surprised, "I have heard about it before, but there is no application channel. I asked the Emperor Star Club to come forward to find connections, but there has been no follow-up. I heard that most of the people who can obtain the qualifications are from the government and the military."

"You are definitely qualified to enter the Ether Research Laboratory." Ji Xinghuo reacted, "The people from the Shi family deliberately stumbled."

With Zhao Manying's talent and fame, she can get approved as long as she applies.

 And she is not short of money either.

Ji Xinghuo had been wondering why Zhao Manying met all the conditions but didn't use the ether energy gathering room.

 It turned out that people from the Shi family were behind the scenes.

"Hmph..." Zhao Manying's eyes turned cold, "Shi Renzhong said time and again that he was looking for a relationship, but there was no result. Shi Hongyi's intention should be behind it."

Ji Xinghuo analyzed: "Your father was killed by him, and now you have entered the Emperor Star Club. Knowing your strength and talent, you will definitely be afraid of you."

“You can't threaten the Shi family yet, and you can make money for them. Shi Hongyi will not easily do evil things, but he will not allow you to increase your strength too quickly. Of course, you must prevent you from entering the Ether Research Institute.”

Zhao Manying stopped her chopsticks and said, "I will settle this account with Shi Hongyi."

“How did Shi Renzhong react today?” Ji Xinghuo asked.

Yesterday he told Zhao Manying about the Qianyuan Society, which involved Shi Daoyuan, but there has been no official announcement yet.

 “No, everything is business as usual.” Zhao Manying shook his head gently.

Ji Xinghuo said: "He should be very happy."

Shi Hongyi has five children. The only ones who are really promising and competing are Shi Daoyuan and Shi Renzhong. Now that Shi Daoyuan is caught, he will definitely be sentenced to death, so Shi Renzhong becomes the only heir.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Shi Hongyi will have several more children.

 For a king, Shi Hongyi, who is in his early 90s, is still very young, and it is too early to talk about his successor.

However, Shi Renzhong's status in the family has definitely risen sharply, and his resources and power will also increase significantly.

 “Don't talk about him anymore.”

 Zhao Manying was not interested in discussing the family affairs of his enemy.

The two had a late-night snack together and returned to Zhao Manying's home in Weiyang Building. As soon as she entered the door, her eyes were as charming as silk and her cheeks were flushed.

 With her super alien physical fitness, she has long since recovered.

Ji Xinghuo also enjoys it.

He felt the different styles of Zhao Manying and Sister Ren. Only those who have experienced them can know the various tastes between them.

 In the latter part of the night, the two embraced each other and fell asleep.

 The next day.

Ji Xinghuo dressed up and went out with Zhao Manying, taking his second brother Zhong Ming with him to the Ether Research Institute.

  Two chapters combined into one, 6000 words.

 (End of this chapter)
