Chapter 90 Pure Star Warlock (1)

The news that Cheng Jinzhou couldn't bear the star point, and thus couldn't puncture the star formation, immediately spread to the ears of those who cared.Even Shen Cong didn't know where to find out.Of course, normal astromancers wouldn't just talk about such topics, but the number of astromancer apprentices is large, so it is inevitable that the good and the bad are mixed, and outsiders really lack understanding of the life of astromancers.The example of classmate Xiao Cheng has become a pastime after dinner.

In fact, it is normal for a 13-year-old boy not to be able to puncture the star array, but Jiang Huang Star Warlock and An Feng Star Warlock are too famous. Cheng Jinzhou can stand out in the meeting where the two appear at the same time. People who are warlocks naturally have to look at it with different eyes.

Cheng Jinzhou was naturally equally disappointed.In fact, what worries him more is not that his weak body cannot bear the star point, but whether his soul, which has arrived on this continent for some unknown reason, can bear the star point...

Obviously, no one could answer his question.

The turbid white dangled in front of his eyes from time to time, as if mocking, which attracted him to constantly shift his attention.

Shen Cong looked apologetically at Cheng Jinzhou next to him, but turned a deaf ear to the professor's words on the stage.In fact, meeting Dali Siqing once, this kind of thing does not take five or six days to prepare, he is also kind, he feels that the contributions of the astrologists are hard-won, and he also feels that Cheng Jinzhou's rising momentum is obvious, so he wants to use his father's name to make a deal with Cheng Jinzhou Star As a warlock, he put a little pressure on him, but he didn't expect that the news that Cheng Jinzhou couldn't bear the star point suddenly came out, and his previous efforts and preparations were 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, SMS investment has instantly turned into an uncertain long-term investment, which is projected on the 68-year-old Dali Siqing. He may not be able to wait for Cheng Jinzhou to repay him one day.

Because of this, Shen Cong's self-assessment was equivalent to wasting four or five days.Even, knowing that Cheng Jinzhou's "big rich" didn't have enough guards of honor, the gentlemen of Dali Temple dared to take a bite.

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 the third class, and he didn't say much, just wandering around Cheng Jinzhou, wandering, wandering, wandering...

Father Shen must have told him something, but he didn't dare to really provoke 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, thinking about ideals... Contrary to Shen Cong's expectations, he is not afraid of wasting some contribution points. Facts have proved that it is not difficult for him to obtain contribution points. Just worry.In contrast, Cheng Jinzhou cared more about whether his father could get out of the quagmire. The position of the prefect of Shaonan is not high, but it is a very important career experience. If it is erased, 8 years will be wasted. No amount of money can make up for this qualification.A son is valued by his father, since ancient times, without the high-ranking father Shen to shield him from the wind and rain, Cheng Jinzhou has been able to experience the warmth and coldness of the world in just two months, and he naturally empathizes with 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 great movements, with his head held high, and he said confidently, "I heard some interesting things recently."

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

"So urgent?" Lu Anping replied quickly, as if he was really talking to Cheng Jinzhou.And he looked eager to try, as if he had waited in line for 10 minutes and was as happy as a fat man who finally bought a barbecue.

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

"I can't spend it." Despite being mad with envy, Lu Anping still pretended to look down on 50 contribution points.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled calmly, walked past him, and said in a low voice, "With 50 contribution points, you can hire an astronomer to burn down your mansion and shave your head, 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 pouted 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.

Leaving the Hongwen Hall, Cheng Jinzhou got on the horse that Shi Yan came to, pulled up the rein and said: "Go to the association, Shen Cong, I need to trouble you to 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 said in a low voice: "Liu Siqing is famous for making money without leaking water. If you look for him now, you will definitely be slashed."

"50 contribution points are not enough?" Cheng Jinzhou snorted. 50 contribution points are 3 taels of silver. If it is counted as money, it can only be said to be average in a place like the capital, but it is different when it comes to contribution points.It's like among the rural gentry, it's nothing to give away dozens of coins, but it's a big deal to give away 10 mu of land.

……

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

In the lounge where you entered the door, dozens of round tables were still full, and countless people were eagerly looking at the gentlemen who could enter and leave the archive.The shrewd businessman chatted with the bartender and collected some information by the way. If there is a gentleman who wants to ask the star warlock for help, he must find a way to exchange some contribution points first.There is also a first-class store that supplies astrology supplies for a long time, and there are people here all the year round.Looking at these people, Shen Cong felt emotional. He used to hang around here often. Like his brothers, he hoped to obtain the title of Star Warlock, so as to establish an advantage in the family - a noble who can communicate with Star Warlock is like A hunter who knows the path can always catch more prey.

Cheng Jinzhou straightened his neck and walked through the lounge, then flipped through the new results reports submitted by the astrologists on the shelf in the reference room.

He easily found stacks of papers on geometrical optics on the top shelf, in fact, the entire shelf was devoted to geometrical optics.Not only more than a dozen apprentice astrologists gathered around to read the materials, but even the rare astrologists, as many as ten people sat aside and read.

Although he was a little puzzled, Cheng Jinzhou still focused on the books 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 results reports cited his own articles. Although there were no less than hundreds of articles on the full bookshelf, he knew in his heart that no matter whether they were opponents or supporters, astrologists would reduce citations by convention—not only Respecting the value of originality, every additional citation requires one more review by the association. Even if it is to reduce trouble, astrologists will not abuse citations like the papers Cheng Jinzhou knows.In addition, if it is really determined to be meaningless, then the astromancer will often put on the coat of an incompetent, and if there is an exchange of benefits, his reputation will fall into the abyss of destruction.The association will also decisively deduct the star warlocks' contribution points.

Shen Cong pretended to be an apprentice of an astro-manager. From the bookshelf, he had no talent for an astro-manager at all. His star points were very low, and his grades in mathematics and science were also poor, but he still looked at the title of the book , whispered: "At least 10 contribution points can be added today. Take advantage of this time to save more."

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

Xiao Cheng smiled lightly and said, "I'm just here to see where everyone's research has come."

"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 by looking at these results, you can tell 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 it, it is just an article of 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 Cheng Jinzhou had made it clear that he was not afraid of being slaughtered. Only ten minutes.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Cheng Jinzhou nodded calmly, and wrote something on the table by himself.

Since you can't make a breakthrough in the star array, then let's be a pure star warlock.
