Chapter 321 New Order and Diamond Level
Chapter 321 New Order and Diamond Level
No one in the Ming Dynasty will forget that night that was as bright as day, especially the people living in inland areas.
They could see large numbers of association card makers marching towards the residences of the lords of the imperial court, while the card makers affiliated with the imperial court fell into a strange silence, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, trying to overthrow an ancient system is bound to be difficult and smooth sailing. People like Russell are only a minority after all.
With their mansions being surrounded, most officials with something to hide would naturally not sit and wait to die.
But before they could do anything, beams of blazing white light fell from the sky, and all those who resisted violently could not escape the fate of being turned into charred corpses.
A small number of people instantly realized that the Ming Dynasty had changed and the imperial court might have become a thing of the past.
However, there is a saying that if it fails it is called a coup, and if it succeeds it is a rebellion.
It wasn't long before they were ready to embrace the new order.
At this moment, it was the usual morning, but without the noisy sounds of workers going to work.
Basically all the people in the Ming Dynasty stayed at home watching the live broadcast on TV and mobile phones, whether they were civilians or card makers.
Of course, it could also be at work.
After all, some outposts of the Northern Defense Army and some secret observation posts need to be manned at all times.
Although those demons may have been scared out of their wits.
"Good morning, everyone from Daming."
"I'm Ye Zhou."
The pale and thin man is looking at the camera with a smile on his face, and next to him are two men and one woman.
Seeing this scene, everyone recognized their identities.
Ye Zhou, Bai Yueming, Fang Wenlong, Ji Weirui.
Four beings who stood at the top of the Ming Dynasty card makers were sitting in a spacious hall.
By this time, the sharp-eyed audience had already discovered the dragon throne located not far above and behind them.
Unfortunately, the Forbidden City was not open to the public, so even if they had guesses in their minds, they could not be sure whether the place where the four senior leaders of the association were located was exactly where they thought.
But Ye Zhou soon answered their questions.
The man, who looked a little weak, coughed first, then continued to smile: "Some of our friends should have guessed where we are."
"Yes, the place where we are now is Fengtian Palace."
As he spoke, the camera began to gradually zoom out, soon capturing the entire hall.
But even so, most people still don't know where the Fengtian Hall is.
After all, this place was just rebuilt in imitation of later generations. In addition, the power of the Ming Emperor was constantly weakened. The last time this place was used was when Zhu Zhongjing ascended the throne, and the enthronement had not been broadcast to the outside world.
However, a bold idea emerged in the minds of a small number of people watching the live broadcast at this time.
"Could it be that Ye Diantang is preparing to become the emperor himself?"
It’s no wonder they think so. You know, although Zhu Zhongjing’s presence is very low, the people of the Ming Dynasty still know that their country has an emperor.
After what happened last night, the emperor did not appear on the dragon throne at this moment.
As if he had guessed what some people in front of the screen were thinking, Ye Zhou laughed dumbly at this time: "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any thoughts of becoming an emperor."
"And the Ming Dynasty no longer needs an emperor."
His words instantly plunged the Ming people who were watching the live broadcast into silence.
For a moment, they could not understand what it meant to not need an emperor.
For thousands of years, the people of this land have become accustomed to the existence of the emperor, even though his influence has become increasingly lower with the emergence of card makers.
However, Ye Zhou did not give them time to digest the information. Instead, he continued, "Not only the emperor, but also the imperial court will be gone."
"The association will be fully responsible for all future affairs."
The man's words were like dropping a bomb on the calm water, instantly detonating the entire Ming Dynasty.
It might not be so bad for people living in coastal areas or near the border, because the imperial court had little presence in the areas where they lived, so it made no difference to them.
But for people living in the inland, this is a world-changing event.
However, this is one of the advantages of the extraordinary world. If it were the world before Russell traveled through time, the resistance from all sides would be ridiculously great if he wanted to do such a thing, and he might even become an enemy of the whole world if he was not careful.
Now it's easy.
The four most capable fighters in the entire Ming Dynasty are on the screen. If you have any opinions about this, you can go directly to them.
But no one should be upset. After all, most of those who have opinions have already gone to protest underground.
"That's all I wanted to say."
As Ye Zhou finished his last words, the live broadcast signal was suddenly interrupted.
Looking at the screen that suddenly went out, Russell couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Of course he knew what his teacher was going to do today, so he didn't feel any surprise at the moment.
He did feel a little happy, after all, the downfall of the mastermind who had always disgusted him was indeed something worth celebrating.
However, although Ye Zhou and the other three's live broadcast today may seem simple, things are actually far from that simple. After making the national announcement, they still need to redefine the system of the Ming Dynasty.
Bai Yueming wanted to ask Russell to go and help, but he refused.
Young people are not interested in these rules and regulations.
It's fine to let him fight and kill, but if he wants to handle this kind of government affairs, it would be more reliable to make a [Zhuge Kongming].
Speaking of which, the card maker is indeed a bit of a slacker. After all, some things that he has no talent for can be solved completely through cards.
Just like Russell's previous work in Donglai regarding the association was basically left to Sister Lie and Chuixue.
Thinking of this, he touched his chin thoughtfully: "I wonder how the teacher is going to arrange me."
"It should be Shanghai, right?"
The reason why the young man thought so was because he was also tasked with finding out Jinping's plan, and Shanghai, as the other party's target, was obviously the most suitable place.
"Isn't this a glorious return to my hometown?"
After thinking about it for a while, Russell focused his attention back on his own realm.
After crushing the old man, the head of the Sheng family, to ashes last night, he had already been promoted to the diamond level.
"Who would dare to believe this promotion speed?"
He casually complained about himself.
To be honest, Russell now feels that the factor of being a time traveler alone can no longer explain everything that happened to him.
But after thinking about Spider-Man's bizarre [immortality] characteristic, he seemed to have some vague ideas. Anyway, it must be related to the world consciousness.
But what is the specific reason?
We should probably have to wait until he reaches the master level to find out. At the very least, he has to get in touch with the world consciousness first.
Although it seems that Fang Wenlong and the others have no way to communicate with Him.
Putting his doubts aside for the time being, Russell began to think about the next card-making plan.
Unlike the emerald level, he currently has not many cards that can be promoted to the diamond level, so if he wants to form combat effectiveness, he can only make new cards.
But the most important thing is definitely to bring out the Spirit King as soon as possible.
"I need three diamond-level venue materials."
But Russell had a headache when he thought about the three venue cards.
"Also, we need to create at least one Ichigo in the real world, otherwise [Karakuza Town] won't be able to be generated at all."
“It’s a tough task.”
The young man sighed silently, then took out his communication device.
[Russell: Big Brother, does the diamond-grade material you told me about before still count? ]
【Zhang Jingxing: Of course it counts.】
When Zhang Jingxing received Russell's message, he was a little confused at first, but then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
His fingers danced across the screen quickly. [Zhang Jingxing: Wait! You are a diamond level?!]
Russell: Yeah.
Seeing Russell's simple reply, Zhang Jingxing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
After a long while, he sent a message with mixed feelings.
【Zhang Jingxing: Then come to Jizhou Town to find me.】
Seeing this, Russell put away his phone.
"Now we just have to wait for the teacher to come back."
He was not in a hurry to find his senior brother. After all, a diamond-level material alone would be of no use.
He was ready to go find Jinping.
But before that, Russell still had to talk to Bai Yueming first.
Not long after, an old man with white hair and beard appeared in the room.
Russell greeted him, "Thank you for your hard work, teacher."
Bai Yueming nodded, and immediately discovered that his little disciple had already entered the diamond level.
He was silent for a moment, then said in a dry voice: ". Xiao Luo, are you ready to go?"
Hearing this, Russell was stunned, but he quickly understood what his teacher was talking about.
He nodded.
Seeing this, Bai Yueming sighed deeply: "Be careful."
This has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. The old man is just worried about the safety of his disciple as a teacher.
But Russell was not actually nervous. With his current identity in the Qi Ling Society, there was basically no possibility of him being exposed.
Unless Jinping has nothing to do and wants to play some of his master's tasks.
"Ah."
Russell nodded silently, then disappeared into the house, leaving Bai Yueming standing there hunched over.
Tuao.
Jin Ping was wiping the blood from his hands with a frown on his face.
"strangeness."
"What's missing?"
After obtaining specific information about the demonization experiment, he has conducted experiments on many card makers of the Qiling Society during this period of time.
And most of them failed.
Only a few merged with the demons.
But even these people are far from successful, and they are still a long way from being able to compete with the experimental machines in the demon army.
"tsk"
"Could it be that there's something wrong with the information Xiaoliu gave me?"
For a moment, Jin Ping suspected that Russell had played tricks on the information.
But when he thought that the young man even stabbed Bai Yueming in the back, he gave up the idea.
“It’s not possible that there is something wrong with my operation, right?”
The old man began to wonder if it was his fault.
At this moment, a sudden wave in his mind interrupted his thoughts.
Jinping murmured in surprise, "Xiaoliu is now a diamond level?"
As he spoke, he had already returned to the old place where he had met Russell before.
Not long after, a slender figure pushed the door and entered the house.
The person who came was naturally Russell.
Seeing Jinping, he bowed his head respectfully and called out, "President."
Hearing this, Jin Ping couldn't help but look up and down: "I didn't expect your promotion speed to be so fast."
The old man now felt that the move he made was truly a godly one.
He also didn't expect that the little bronze-level card maker had been promoted to diamond level in such a short time.
"It all depends on the cultivation of the association."
Russell patted the horse calmly.
However, Jinping didn't buy it. He just laughed weirdly and said, "Don't give me that."
"I still remember clearly how much support the guild gave you."
So far, the materials that Qi Linghui has given to Russell are neither too little nor too much. It would be good enough if they can be added up to make three or four cards.
However, Jinping did not originally use the carrot and stick approach.
Compared to these, the old man trusts his contract more.
Sensing the connection between himself and the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but grin: "You've been doing well recently. I told you before that I have a big gift for you."
As he said this, a piece of material suddenly appeared between his index finger and middle finger.
The old man waved it in front of Russell.
"I won't break my promise."
After saying this, Jinping threw the materials to the young man.
Russell grabbed the material, and his pupils shrank after exploring the information.
It is a venue material.
Diamond level [Decisive Battle Ground] (red).
Russell never expected that one of the three venue cards that had been bothering him not long ago has already been finalized.
He did not hide his joy and said in a cheerful tone: "Thank you, President."
Russell couldn't be so innocent in putting on a complete show. He was now playing the role of a card maker of the Qi Ling Society who had let down his guard.
Seeing this, Jinping raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you already have an idea."
Before Russell could explain, the old man started the next topic, obviously not wanting to explore the topic: "Time flies. It has been a long time since you joined the Spirit Begging Society."
"You must have been wondering why I asked you to hide your identity?"
Russell nodded silently, but his mind was fully focused.
It was obvious that what the old man opposite was going to say next was what he wanted to find out.
Jinping smiled and continued, "Do you remember that you once handed in a demon's diary?"
"The answer is inside."
Hearing this, the young man began to search his memory.
It didn't take him long to recall what Jinping was referring to.
So far, Russell has obtained two demon diaries, one from the Sword Lake in Shanghai, and the other from Nandu.
He handed both copies over to the Begging Spirits Society.
Russell asked tentatively, "Four Evil Gods?"
"That's right." Jinping showed an admiring look on his face, "I want you to help Him descend in Shanghai when the time comes."
Russell's heart trembled when he heard this.
If he remembered correctly
The Four Evil Gods are palace level.
