There was no time for Ji Jue to react, and there was no shock, confusion or vigilance that Ji Jue expected.

It's just like talking about the weather today is really nice and what you had for breakfast... casually and not caring at all.

Ji Jue almost rolled off the sofa in fright.

He subconsciously picked up a can of happy water and offered it with both hands: "Young hero, drink tea and explain in detail."

Ye Chun glanced at his enthusiastic expression in confusion, raised his hand, and pointed to the bookshelf behind him: "It should be the cabinet on the left, in the middle row. Look for it. There should be an encyclopedia series of detailed explanations of everything.

The whole book."

It was a book as big as a dictionary. Looking at the back, it was published in Catastrophic Era 388. It was older than Ji Jue. According to Ye Chun's words, he found the entry about Sky Rail from the index.

An abbreviation that confused him.

——[T5].

This name refers to five large corporate organizations that existed in the Central Era before the Cataclysm, that is, during the Eternal Dynasty of Middle-earth.

It is said that they were already active in history in the era before the arrival of the Supreme Good King, playing an indispensable key role in the eternal dynasty.

Although they had no actual status in the court, they still received authorization and respect from the emperor.

And just after disaster struck, the lands fell apart, and earth-shaking changes occurred, the Catastrophic Era arrived, the Eternal Dynasty fell apart and disappeared, and the Middle-earth changed from the once holy land of heaven into a mud pit of endless wars.

Moreover, these five companies still exist and have participated in the reconstruction of the world and order in the Catastrophic Era, making significant contributions and contributions.

Whether it is the Commonwealth in the north or the empire in the south, or even all the islands in Middle-earth and the endless sea, all orthodox regimes recognize their transcendent status and power above the world.

At the same time, in order to avoid the recurrence of disasters and curb the trend of rifting and falling to the greatest extent, all parties came together and signed a T5 agreement, which restricted the power, operations, production and even the scope of activities of these five companies.

With the accumulation of a large amount of resources, backed by historical accumulation and countless uninterrupted secret research, these five companies also occupy absolute dominant positions in their respective fields.

Their business scopes are medical, communications, production, finance, transportation...

Among them, the companies engaged in production and construction, after splitting, turned into behemoths that monopolized most of the industrial markets of the Federation and the Empire, [World Heavy Industry] and [Great Creation]!

God damn Huanyu Heavy Industries!

Ji Jue's whole body felt bad.

Just like it is impossible for people in the Empire not to know about the great creation, it is impossible for people in the Federation not to have dealt with Huanyu Heavy Industries. Some people will live, grow old, sick, die, eat, drink, and have diarrhea throughout their lives within the scope of its business.

Ever since Ji Jue started learning to repair cars, he has seen these four words frequently. The parts are produced by a company under Huanyu Heavy Industry, the engine oil is made by someone else, the gloves are from someone else's chemical factory, the helmet, uniforms, fuel, etc.

The local Coastal Automobile Factory in Yacheng has other people's capital injection and controlling stake. Lu Ma's mainland auto repair shop is not even considered offline, and can't even reach the edge.

In the field of communications, the Unbounded United Communications Group is a giant that occupies 80% of the world's communications market. In a world where earthquakes and disasters are common, people in Yacheng can't even make a phone call to people in Zhongcheng.

I can't get around them. Ji Jue is still offering a monthly package for 18 yuan.

Hope Hospital in the medical field... I seem to have heard of it somewhere, but I have no impression. It may be too high-end, and people like Ji Jue can't even reach it. It's also possible that they have already spread all over the world through shareholding.

, but I have no way of discovering it myself.

There is no detailed description of the permanent bank in the financial field except its name, and with the two sons in Ji Jue's pocket, I am afraid that he will never be able to get along with them in this life.

As for the last one, it is the well-deserved overlord in the field of transportation-Sky Rail Transportation Group!

According to the book, this group not only operates everything from airships, trains, and cruise ships, but also builds a transportation network that can reconnect the present world.

Ji Jue's blood boiled when he saw it, and he felt proud.

Such an awesome company must be very strong, awesome, and domineering, and the salary must be very high, right?

Unfortunately, Ji Jue couldn't find any trace of their existence at all, and even the introduction was so brief. Apart from a brief mention of their business scope and name, there was only one sentence left.

——[Due to poor management, it is now bankrupt and closed].

collapse?!

Ji Jue's eyes almost pierced through the piece of paper: Bankruptcy? Are you serious?

Although I really hope so from the bottom of my heart, the other four are so awesome, why are you so stretched out?

Such a company that sounds so awesome is just short of going to heaven and earth... No, a company that can definitely go to heaven and earth will be gone if it doesn't?!

And after taking a look at the time of bankruptcy, he couldn't help but go crazy again: Catastrophic Era 198? It was already gone more than two hundred years ago!

Then what is going on with you?!

Did he just get better last month?

Even if you don’t have a big tree at your back to enjoy the shade, look at this, maybe you will be the legal representative on your first day?!

Snap!

Ji Jue closed the book without hesitation, put it in the cabinet, and closed the door carefully.

Who wants to go to this broken Tiangui Company has nothing to do with me!

Farewell!

Anyway, we didn’t sign a contract, and they all went bankrupt anyway. Even the watch’s own system couldn’t get online. No matter how awesome the Tiangui Company is, it’s been bankrupt for more than 200 years. There’s no way any leader could turn into a ghost. Three

Why don't you come to work overtime for yourself in the middle of the night?

Just like that, I made up my mind to put all the sky rails behind me.

I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know. I lost this watch. I thought no one wanted it!

After suffering the unexpected fright, Ji Jue, who was still frightened, devoted himself to the study of alchemy all afternoon, forgetting himself and not even paying attention to the passage of time.

Until the familiar breaking sound emerged from the furnace again.

Failed for the 51st time.

The reason is physical imbalance.

Ji Jue held the fire tongs, looked at the copper fragments that had been tortured all afternoon, felt the spiritual essence spreading out of control inside, and once again analyzed the reasons for the failure.

As a result, they saw that a crack suddenly appeared on the cooling copper sheet, and then a second, then a third, densely packed... In the end, right under Ji Jue's nose, it cracked and collapsed, becoming

A pile of hot copper sand.

"Oh, congratulations."

Ye Chun looked around and saw that the remaining pieces were completely scrapped. He couldn't help but clapped his hands: "The first step of emptying the garbage heap is finally completed!"

Spiritual overload.

After Ji Jue's afternoon of training and engraving, the scrapped fragments could no longer withstand any more processing and engraving. They exceeded their endurance limit and collapsed from within.

The simpler the material, the more fragile its physical properties are, the lower the upper limit it can withstand, and the smaller the reaction after self-destruction.

If it is some dangerous substance, after infusing a large amount of spiritual essence and the essence of the best, it may lose control in the furnace and explode. Maybe the entire workshop will be razed to the ground and turned into a big pit.

. Exploding a furnace has always been an eternal nightmare for alchemists.

This is Professor Ye's educational plan - as long as it can't be exploded, just do it.

Anyway, the warehouse is full of useless scraps and scraps, which are worthless. It is better to use the waste heat and use it to train Ji Jue.

Even a dog that can rely on its alchemy skills to refine all the waste products in that warehouse until it self-destructs due to overload can become a craftsman, let alone a chosen one?

At this moment, having finally completed the first step of a thousand-mile journey, Ji Jue should have been cheering for joy.

However, he fell into a state of confusion inexplicably.

He lowered his head blankly and looked at the copper shavings at his feet, and even the spiritual essence that gradually rose up from the hot copper shavings and quickly dissipated. The precipitation and traces accumulated in it from dozens of processing and inscriptions were rapidly dissipating.

Volatile.

But why do I feel... so hungry?

Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry!

Like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten a grain of rice for dozens of days, an unspeakable hunger emerged from Ji Jue's soul and consciousness, almost turning him into a vicious dog.

Subconsciously reaching out, as if grabbing the rapidly dissipating spiritual essence and essence, trying to stuff it into his mouth.

After reacting, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It is really crazy to rely on your own hands to grasp the invisible spiritual essence and essence, and to rely on your mouth and stomach to digest the residue that has been mixed with countless forgings and processings.

The next moment, he froze on the spot.

Because his hand seemed to have really grasped something... not only the spiritual essence that quickly dissipated in the air, but also the essence that remained in the copper sand seemed to be absorbed, controlled, pulled, and gathered by invisible forces.

In Ji Jue's palm.

On his right hand, strips of silver light that looked like circuit board circuits lit up slightly, so familiar - Ji Jue would see it every time he used his watch to extract spiritual essence. But now, he just thought about it, and that complicated

A dizzying ectoplasmic circuit emerged from his hand.

It was as if his hand had become an alchemical object.

Collecting and extracting it out of thin air, and then, with the clenching of his five fingers, the emblem representing ability in Ji Jue's soul suddenly rose up, absorbing, swallowing, and digesting all the essence.

Dizziness comes on suddenly!

Ji Jue twitched. In a short period of less than a moment, what emerged in his perception was actually fifty-one inscriptions and processing!

It was as if he had transformed into copper, enduring the burning and forging of flames, and feeling the movement of the ectoplasm. But at the same time, he seemed to have become the ectoplasm itself, leaving circuits and imprints again and again, and facing failure again and again...

But before that, before that, he seemed to be a part of something huge.

That was before the fragments collapsed. From the burning of the furnace, countless ectoplasmic circuits were running within the body, from the hands of a vague figure.

It’s like using nature to create all things!

One rune after another arises and dies from the flames and copper juice, and the complicated circuits run through everything like a giant tree, and in the end, at the very core, the essence of the highest good collides and merges with each other.

A magnificent creation that surpasses Ji Jue's imagination emerges from the furnace. Under the control of that figure, the unruly physical nature is like a loyal dog, and the ever-changing spiritual essence is like flowing water, achieving new changes as it flows.

.

Until the end, waves of flames opened up from both sides. From the violent furnace, a huge engine with a height of more than two people slowly rose up. On top of the complex machinery, the light was bright, and the blessing of the best came from the copper.

The light flows, so solemn!

But what he received was a look of disappointment.

"More than enough ascension, not enough purification."

Professor Ye withdrew his gaze: "Another waste product."

In the blink of an eye, the magnificent engine that had just been completed fell apart in an instant and turned into countless fragments.

All that was left was the loud sound that echoed in Ji Jue's soul.

boom!

Ji Jue's eyesight went dark and he couldn't help but take a step back.

But the moment he reacted, he had already picked up the tongs, pinched another fragment and threw it into the furnace. He raced against time, not even waiting for the material to heat up and its physical properties change, before pressing it on the operating table again.

Before the experience of transforming into Professor Ye and the fragments had time to dissipate, the spiritual essence rushed out!

The feeling is coming!

There is no longer any jerkiness or trepidation as before. Ji Jue's consciousness and perception move along with the spiritual essence in the fragments, moving forward smoothly like a fish in water, even under heavy interference, he does not care.

Rugged and heroic, like flowing cursive script, the ideas that arise in your mind are written in one stroke!

In just a few seconds, the process that Ji Jue had been cautiously carrying out for more than ten minutes was over. What he felt was an unprecedented and hearty experience.

He picked up the fire tongs, took out the fragments from the furnace, and stared at the only success he finally had after an afternoon of failure - the Totem of the Greatest Good!

Like an invisible fire, it rises upward and never goes out.

It is the beginning of the Twelve Supreme Goods, the foundation of truth, transcendence, and insight, and the source of all thoughts and souls in the world.

——[Upgrade]!

After leaving the interference-free simulated operating environment, in less than six hours, Ji Jue overcame the difficulties that other apprentices needed countless failures and accumulation of experience to overcome, and completed his first real operation.

The highest good in the sense of inscription...

He raised his hand and wiped away the nosebleed caused by overdraft of spiritual matter, and couldn't help but smile excitedly.

This is his first step!
Chapter completed!
