Chapter 31 Workshop (Thanks to Chen Zui for being the leader)

The prerequisite for the birth of every chosen one is the blessing bestowed by the Supreme Good.

The essence sprinkled from the vast tapestry of time formed by the convergence of infinite phenomena fell into the soul, responding to the desires and prayers of the chosen one, and bringing the power granted by the world.

Although there is no rule that after receiving a blessing of the highest good, one cannot receive another blessing of the highest good, but most of the chosen ones will choose to delve deeply into the path of the highest good, and will not come into contact with other blessings of the highest good too much unless it is necessary.

Everyone has a limit to what they can bear.

Most people, even if they specialize in one area, cannot bear multiple blessings. Once the number of blessings exceeds their ability to bear, the blessings that gradually get out of control will shatter their souls, severely damage their consciousness, and even cause their bodies to mutate.

What will be triggered at that time is the "evil transformation" that makes the chosen ones shudder!
If you are lucky, you can still be saved. But after being stripped of the blessing, you will become a disabled person or a vegetable. If you are unlucky and are sensed and noticed by other evil and foolish people other than the Supreme Good, the result is often a life worse than death.

In order to avoid this situation, a secret ritual called the Matrix was created.

After generations of exploration and experimentation, the Chosen Ones created the Twelve Supreme Virtues' Soul Imprints - they can enhance the soul's ability to withstand stress, and guide the Chosen Ones to grow in the predetermined direction as they advance, so as not to get out of control.

It is like a guide and map to the path of higher goodness.

At the same time, it is also the armor and protection of the soul, able to resist the erosion and pollution of other evil fools. Even more advanced matrices contain commandments and oaths, abilities that other ordinary chosen ones do not possess.

Just like the [Minerva] on Wen Wen that Ji Jue had seen before.

Named after the goddess of war before the Cataclysm Era, it is itself the top matrix of the Ruins series. It not only brings out Wen Wen's crystallization ability to the fullest, but also adds corrosiveness, defense, and killing capabilities that other matrices cannot match. In the end, it can even cover reality and create a 'circle' that seems like an alien world!
"Well, it sounds like there are professional templates specially made for the twelve strengthening directions. By upgrading step by step, the required skills can be gradually lit up to avoid accidentally ruining the account, right?"

Ji Jue felt that he understood, not just a little bit, but a lot, and he had mastered it completely.

"…Although it's almost the same, why do you seem so cheap when you say that?"

The corner of Ye Chun's eye twitched, but he didn't care too much and continued with the topic, "From the moment of awakening, those who become the Chosen One will gradually grow.

After experiencing the four realms - inspiration, transformation, rebirth and transcendence - one reaches the realm of heaven that most of the chosen ones can never reach in their lifetime.

To ordinary people, the chosen ones who have entered that realm are probably no different from gods.

However, this has nothing to do with you. As a level 1 blank slate rookie, you should worry about what to do with your matrix. Otherwise, even if the Supreme Being bestows blessings upon you, you will not be able to keep it."

She gloated: "The matrix inherited by my aunt is called [Moye], which is one of the top matrices in the Embers Realm. It is best at enhancing alchemy, but unfortunately... it is limited to women.

Why don't you consider going to the Southeast Islands, where transgender services seem to be quite complete."

"It's actually limited to gender?" Ji Jue was shocked. He couldn't help but shiver and almost cried. What kind of matrix has to stipulate gender?
Puxin Matrix, what a great place to start!

No, I have to post a little sweet potato...

"It's more than just gender. The stronger the matrix, the more restrictions it has. Some have restrictions on implant age and personality. Some require simultaneous surgery and removal of eyeballs or limbs. Some even forcibly change the personality or simply erase the user's emotions."

Ye Chun shook his head: "Simply restricting by gender is basically the least restrictive category."

In the silence, Ji Jue did not speak.

For a moment, he wanted to make another joke, but he couldn't help but think of Wen Wen...the pair of indifferent eyes without any emotion after she opened the circle.

He wanted to make a few jokes, but his voice became dry, and even he was stunned for a moment: "Senior sister, I heard a bastard say before that the road of wasteland is the road that requires the least human heart.

Is what he said true?

“Well, there is some truth to it. After all, the ruins represent material things, and the thing that matters least to material things is probably the so-called emotions.

However, it is not so absolute. "

To the onlookers, the chosen ones will show some characteristics to a greater or lesser extent according to the path of the Supreme Good they choose. No, perhaps it is precisely because of these characteristics that they can receive the blessing of the Supreme Good.

For example, the Chosen Ones of the Way of Ruins are all stubborn, cold on the outside and cold on the inside, while the Chosen Ones of the Way of Goodness and Ascension, who are in charge of the soul, are full of emotions and seem neurotic.

The Chosen Ones of the White Deer are often sloppy and unruly, and in the eyes of the Chosen Ones of Tianyuan, they feel that the Chosen Ones of the White Deer Way have no moral integrity, do not listen to advice, do not keep their promises, and have no manners or manners.

Tianyuan's Chosen Ones tend to abide by the rules and act in a law-abiding manner, while Bailu's Chosen Ones think that Tianyuan's Chosen Ones are all control freaks, and even the punctuation marks in every sentence they say are traps, and all they come up with are unfair contracts, etc.

A large group of Chosen Ones are murderous and often cause some vicious incidents; the Chosen Ones of the Heart are all old sinister, scheming and cunning; the Chosen Ones of the Mirror are full of lies and like to cheat; the Chosen Ones of the Ether like to pry into people's privacy and are willing to sacrifice their lives for gossip and eating melons; the Chosen Ones of the Entropy have a bad temper and explode at the slightest provocation; the Chosen Ones of the Embers are all technology maniacs, all of them are crazy and crazy, and if they are not careful, they will do something crazy like "Onii-chan, sobo"...

There is no lack of opposition and disputes among the chosen ones who follow different paths of the highest good, and they are also full of the above-mentioned inherent impressions and prejudices. In fact, most of them...

Still all correct!
Sadly, it's not prejudice, it's fact.

Although the forest is big and there will always be some outliers, but most of the time, the chosen ones are complementary to the supreme good that they belong to.

"It's like, you—"

Ye Chun pointed his finger at the confused Ji Jue: "Aren't you the same?"

"Ah? I'm not that crazy about technology!"

"What do you think? I've been with my aunt at Tianmen University for so many years. I've seen people studying hard for papers, and I've seen people working hard to get results, but you're the first one who's so happy being a curled up dog. Sometimes I even find you annoying and wish you'd die of curling up and get out of here, but if I don't take the initiative to take you out for dinner, you'll starve to death in the lab."

"I am forced to do this because of my life, okay?" Ji Jue answered decisively: "If I were like those young masters, with no worries about food and drink every day, why would I be so stubborn? I have no choice!"

"You already have a choice, Ji Jue."

Ye Chun looked at him with an unclear meaning, and just sighed, "You are already the Chosen One, and you have awakened on your own. Aren't there many things that are simpler, more convenient, and more profitable than being an alchemist?

Why didn't you think of finding another job? " Ji Jue was speechless.

Although he could say that he was shy and that he was used to being with Professor Ye, a professor he trusted, it was undeniable that... no matter how difficult it was to be in the project team or how troublesome it was to keep up with the progress, he enjoyed it.

The blessings of the embers are never in vain.

He loves this kind of life more than dominating others, doing whatever he wants, or killing people.

If he were really allowed to earn a large sum of money by his own ability and then live a life of idleness every day, he would feel ashamed of his time and life.

He wants to live a more meaningful life. Even if he cannot become a scholar who leads industrial revolution or a master of alchemy who is unrivaled in the world, isn't it a good thing if he can use his works to change more people's lives?

After a brief moment of surprise, he accepted this fact calmly.

pretty good.

Frankenstein is Frankenstein, no, it's not scientific anymore, what is it? Magic monster? Anyway, as long as he is still human, it's fine.

Snapped.

Crisp footsteps came from the stairs.

"Are you done?"

Professor Ye came down from upstairs carrying a box that seemed to be covered with dust.

"Ah, that's about it. The rest of the common sense can be learned by reading books."

Ye Chun sighed and rubbed his nose: "I finally understand why you said that even if I become the Chosen One, I will regret it sooner or later, Aunt."

“People who think too much will be hesitant, and people who have too many choices will fall into the dilemma of making a decision. This is not your problem, you are just not suitable.

It’s not a good thing to force yourself.”

Professor Ye waved to Ji Jue alone, "Follow me."

Ji Jue stood up and followed, but Ye Chun was still sitting on the sofa, continuing to eat potato chips. He just waved his hand indifferently and continued watching the variety show.

It's like restraining yourself from looking back.

"Don't worry about her. She is different from you. The research and exploration that you enjoy is too boring for her. She is different from you."

Professor Ye, who was walking in front, seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. Without even turning his head, he said, "You should worry about yourself, Ji Jue."

"what?"

Ji Jue's attention was drawn to him and he gradually became nervous.

The basement was unexpectedly spacious, completely different from what Ji Jue had imagined, with dim candlelight, sheep skulls, various strange specimens on display, and complex magic circles on the ground.

To be honest...it's just a processing workshop!
Ninety percent of the things inside were exactly the same as the laboratories that the school had equipped for the project research team, and the specifications were even far beyond that... Just the gantry machining center produced by Universal Heavy Industries in the corner made Ji Jue stare in amazement.

It’s a completely new model, but it’s printed with the Universal Heavy Industries logo, as if it were a custom-made model.

The equipment, which is more than nine meters long, is taller than Ji Jue. Even if it was placed in the factory, it would be enough to attract everyone's attention. But now it is sitting at the end of the table here.

The most eye-catching thing is the furnace door at the end of the basement, which is more than two meters high. Even from a distance, you can still feel the heat, as if it is still running day and night.

And right in the center, on the workbench, was a steel structure that looked like the corpse of a giant. It was a power armor with its outline just beginning to emerge!

It hadn't been painted yet, nor were there any markings, and it even looked unfinished, with complicated cables sticking out from between the equipment in the chest and abdomen.

Even in the military, these dangerous weapons should be kept strictly confidential and would never be used on the battlefield without military orders. Yet, they were laid out in front of Ji Jue.

He couldn't help but swallow.

Oh no, I know too much, I won’t be silenced, right?
Such an absurd thought flashed through his mind. Professor Ye, who was walking in front, seemed to have noticed it, but he was too lazy to even look back at him:
"Are you interested in the confidential development contract of the Haizhou military?"

"Uh, no, no!"

Ji Jue shook his head frantically, but when he saw the exposed harmonic reducers at the joints of the armor, and even the phlogiston reactor that he had vaguely seen between the chest and abdomen, he finally understood what kind of deadly thing his paper on the application of new planetary carriers was related to.

No, in the entire Tianmen research group, perhaps everyone’s job is to assist and support the things on the workbench now.

"Come here." Professor Ye said, "Put your hands on it."

An old suitcase was opened on another table, revealing a delicate object on a velvet cushion that looked like a crystal ball that the public loved to see in fantasy novels.

wrong……

Ji Jue rubbed his eyes and confirmed again and again.

Is it really a crystal ball?!

Good news, it’s up!
