Chapter 4

"God-Given Realm..."

Jiang Jian's eye twitched.

The "Alliance Law" stipulates that Earth citizens must participate in the God-Given Grand Exam.

No matter how remote the place is, it will be equipped with a middle school.

Gods have compassionate hearts.

By participating in the Grand Exam, anyone can obtain a God-Given gift.

To put it bluntly, every adult is in the "God-Given Realm."

For hundreds of years.

The Earth Alliance has roughly figured out the laws of God-Given gifts and divided them into six types.

"Weapon" is one of them.

Either directly granting a weapon.

Or granting the technique to use a weapon.

Or granting the method to forge a weapon.

Or granting the secret method to refine a weapon.

All such things are called "Weapon."

"Junior, wait a moment, the Inspection Court is almost here."

Zhou Chi changed the subject and pointed outside the window, "You rarely come to the God-Illumination Zone, right? This time you can just happen to see the world."

The security vehicle hovered and flew rapidly toward the towering giant city in the sky.

Jiang Jian looked through the car window at the flying shuttles coming and going, and asked: "Senior, when you participated in the God-Given Grand Exam, how many people in Guangling City got into a God-Given University?"

Zhou Chi was stunned, thought for a moment, and said: "That was two years ago; the God-Given University seemed to have given Guangling's two zones a total of forty spots."

Speaking of this, he looked at Jiang Jian, "You ask these things, are you trying to compete for the spot at the God-Given University?"

Jiang Jian said: "Just curious."

Zhou Chi waved his hand and said: "Junior, there is something you might not know; the God-Illumination Zone takes up half of the recommended spots."

"In other words, the top twenty students in the God-Illumination Zone enter the God-Given University directly."

"The remaining spots are then competed for by students from the God-Illumination Zone and the Shadow Zone according to their rankings."

Zhou Chi pointed under his feet, "The Shadow Zone of Guangling City hasn't had a student get into a God-Given University for three years."

"Our Guangling No. 1 High School is named the First High School."

"But there are five or six schools in the God-Illumination Zone pressing down on our heads..."

When the two were talking.

The security vehicle slowed down and landed slowly on the edge of the giant city, in front of the high-rise building of the Inspection Court.

"The summons has been successfully applied for!"

The armored door of the security vehicle was pulled open, and Captain Wang's face was excited, "Student Jiang Jian, please follow me to the waiting room!"

Zhou Chi jumped out of the car: "Junior, follow me."

The cool night breeze blew by.

Jiang Jian got off the security vehicle, wrapped his school uniform tightly, and looked at the brightly lit neon city.

Unlike the fake daylight of the Shadow Zone.

The road under his feet, the high-rise buildings in front of him.

The fragrance of grass and trees he smelled, and even the pitch-black night above his head.

All were realities within reach.

"Since the God-Illumination Zone is the place suitable for human life."

"Then what does the Shadow Zone count as."

"A narrow and cramped cage..."

Jiang Jian's expression was calm, his mood like a tide.

The Shadow Zone is actually not narrow.

On the contrary.

The Shadow Zones of all cities are wide and boundless.

After all, that is the true surface of the Earth.

It just lacks sunlight.

But this point alone is enough to be fatal.

Because the sun is permeated by the brilliance of the gods.

As a medium, it shines on all things.

Losing sunlight, in some respects.

Is equivalent to losing the mercy of the gods.

Therefore, the God-Given talents of the residents of the Shadow Zone will not be too good.

Whether it is the level or the quality.

On average, they are far worse than the God-Illumination Zone.

"But if this is really the case, the Shadow Zone has no sunlight and cannot get divine favor."

"Then how should my innate God-Given gift be explained."

In the waiting room, Jiang Jian held his schoolbag.

His fingers touched the outline of the wooden sword, his expression gloomy.

This wooden sword.

Is not a so-called family heirloom.

Nor is it something that restrains spirits and monsters.

But the "innate God-Given gift" that Guangling City has never had and is only mentioned in textbooks.

During the Grand Exam, participating in the God-Given ceremony can obtain a God-Given gift.

However, the Earth is so large, and there are always incredibly lucky living beings in the four worlds of the Earth and Moon who can be favored by the gods from birth and be granted divine favor.

It's just that, according to existing data.

The probability of divine favor is less than one in a billion.

It is almost zero.

Don't talk about Guangling City.

Even in Fuanhezhou, or even the larger Linjiang Prefecture, there has never been an "innate God-Given gift."

There are 130 prefectures in the four worlds of the Earth and Moon, with hundreds of billions of living beings.

There are no more than thirty recorded "innate God-Given gifts."

"Jiang Jian, things are not looking good!"

In the waiting room, Zhou Chi walked quickly to Jiang Jian's side, his face ugly.

Before Jiang Jian could speak, he heard a sound of gasping.

"Zhao Chenshuang is here!"

"Zhao Chenshuang! Why is it her!"

"Level 2 talent, 'Martial', Tongming Fist!"

"Last year's Grand Exam, top student of City Government No. 1 High School, third place in all of Guangling!"

"Student of God-Given University, Anhe Academy!"

The inspectors stood up, and the discussions rose one after another.

Zhou Chi's mouth twitched, and he lowered his voice and said: "Every student of the God-Given University is on file at the academy; the Guangling Inspection Court can't afford to offend them."

"Who is Jiang Jian?"

A cold voice came.

The waiting room suddenly became silent.

The next second.

A young girl in a white dress walked in through the door.

She looked indifferent, her thick-heeled leather shoes stepping on the floor tiles step by step, piercing the eardrums of every inspector.

Captain Wang followed her closely.

Although his expression was cowardly, Captain Wang still held the evidence in his hand tightly and forced himself to speak: "Miss Zhao, why did you come in person?"

Zhao Chenshuang stopped, tilted her head, and looked at Captain Wang: "If I didn't come back, would the Zhao family be bullied to death by you?"

Captain Wang gritted his teeth, held up the document in his hand, and said: "The Zhao family hired someone to kill, the evidence is solid; even if you, Miss Zhao, come in person..."

"5,000 Alliance Credits."

Zhao Chenshuang showed disdain.

Captain Wang's eyes lit up, but he still said: "The nature of this matter is too malicious, and it cannot be solved just by paying money."

Zhao Chenshuang sneered: "I mean, 5,000 Alliance Credits for each inspector in this room."

"Wha... what?!"

Captain Wang trembled all over, stunned in place.

More than a dozen inspectors were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the young girl in the white dress.

The large waiting room was silent.

Hearing this, Zhou Chi turned his head abruptly, his fingers trembling non-stop, and he stumbled, almost kneeling to Jiang Jian, his eyes filled with tears: "Junior Jiang Jian! I beg you! Withdraw the report!"

Captain Wang came to his senses, took three steps in two, fell in front of Jiang Jian, looked up, and pleaded: "Student Jiang Jian, I have old people above and children below..."

The next second.

All the inspectors turned their heads in unison, looking at Jiang Jian with teary eyes.

Several people even had a tendency to kneel.

An inspector's monthly salary is 230 Alliance Credits.

5,000 Alliance Credits is worth two years of not eating or drinking!

Some time ago, Captain Wang was eager to make a contribution.

Not only did he report this case involving the Zhao family to the Guangling City Government.

He even submitted it to Fuanhezhou.

The data and evidence were all complete.

Except for the reporter withdrawing the statement, there was no second way to withdraw the case.

"You are Jiang Jian."

Zhao Chenshuang walked through the crowd and stopped in front of Jiang Jian, "You are good-looking, but you come from the Shadow Zone; you really don't deserve my sister."

Jiang Jian sneered inwardly, but on the surface, he showed unwillingness: "Zhao Jianxue and I were engaged at birth, and the God-Proof Contract was established by our elders; how can you deny it with one word?"

Zhao Chenshuang held her snow-white neck high and sneered: "The elders are already old; naturally, what they promised doesn't count. Recognize reality."

Jiang Jian looked at her, clenching his fists: "As long as the time is up, the God-Proof Contract will make her and me husband and wife in the eyes of the law! As long as the contract is not dissolved, your sister will eventually have to marry me!"

Zhao Chenshuang's expression turned cold: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be talking nonsense with you here! Stop talking nonsense, 600,000 Alliance Credits, dissolve the contract!"

Jiang Jian's face was angry, and he roared: "You actually want to use money to test my feelings for Jianxue! I will never let you succeed!"

Zhao Chenshuang was quite appreciative of Jiang Jian's appearance, and the corners of her crimson lips curled into a smile: "What a drama of 'don't bully the young for being poor'!"

She held her head even higher, "But do you know, the most pathetic thing about people is not having self-knowledge; you now just confirm this point."

Zhou Chi hesitated for a moment and advised: "Junior, if it really doesn't work, take the money and leave; it's not a bad way."

Seeing Jiang Jian's embarrassment, Captain Wang sighed and couldn't help but advise: "Student Jiang Jian, we are all ordinary people; there is no need to fish for the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water."

Jiang Jian shook his head and clenched his fists hard, his knuckles turning white: "I will never give up on Jianxue!"

Zhao Chenshuang seemed to be losing patience, walked closer, her leather shoes clicking: "I'll give you 700,000 Alliance Credits, come with me to the Guangling City Government immediately to dissolve the God-Proof Contract, how about it?"

Jiang Jian gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how much money you give, I don't want it; I just want to be with Jianxue!"

He said word by word, "And I won't withdraw the case either!"

Hearing the astronomical figure of 700,000, Zhou Chi almost had a brain crash.

Captain Wang was dizzy, as if he saw another rich man born in the God-Illumination Zone.

But the next moment, hearing the words "won't withdraw the case."

Captain Wang's body shook, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and he hurriedly advised: "Student Jiang Jian..."

Many inspectors also had their expressions change drastically.

For the sake of their 5,000 Alliance Credits, they gathered around one after another, advising him in a jumble of voices.

Zhou Chi came back to his senses from his trance, patted Jiang Jian on the shoulder, and said: "I once liked a girl too, but in this world, some things are destined not to be yours; forcing it is useless."

Hearing this.

Jiang Jian was struck by lightning, his face pale.

Captain Wang and the others secretly thought there was a chance and quietly gave Zhou Chi a thumbs up.

Zhou Chi sighed and said in the tone of someone who had been through it: "Junior, I advise you to give up; if you really like Zhao Jianxue, giving her freedom is the greatest love for her."

Jiang Jian was stunned, his face struggling, muttering to himself: "Giving her freedom is loving her?"

Zhou Chi mustered his courage and gave Zhao Chenshuang a wink.

The young girl in the white dress snorted coldly and said: "800,000 Alliance Credits, in exchange for my sister's freedom! Jiang Jian, you must know that even for the Zhao family, this is an unimaginable huge sum!"

Jiang Jian turned a deaf ear, his face struggling even more, muttering to himself: "So loving someone means learning to let go."

He suddenly looked up at Zhou Chi, "Senior, is it really like this?"

Zhou Chi nodded vigorously: "Love her, give her freedom!"

"Love her, give her freedom."

Jiang Jian finally sat on the chair, his face full of loss.

Seeing this, Captain Wang hurriedly signaled to the left and right.

Immediately, two inspectors walked up quickly, supporting Jiang Jian, half-coaxing and half-dragging him toward the security vehicle outside the door.

"Miss Zhao, I suggest taking this opportunity to go to the City Government to dissolve the God-Proof Contract and give Miss Zhao Jianxue her freedom!"

Captain Wang leaned in front of Zhao Chenshuang, his expression urgent.

Zhao Chenshuang held her head high, calm and composed.

But in her heart, she was roaring crazily.

"800,000 Alliance Credits! 800,000 Alliance Credits!"

"My good sister!"

Her heart ached, aching to the point of bleeding!

But under the gaze of everyone.

Zhao family's eldest daughter, Zhao Chenshuang, was still that proud white swan.

Holding her head high, she walked elegantly onto Captain Wang's security vehicle.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Jian was supported by Zhou Chi, stumbling out of the Guangling City Government.

He lowered his eyelids, his expression calm.

The identity device flashed, and a voice that only he could hear sounded.

"Your account received a transfer: 850,000 Alliance Credits."

"Your balance: 850,138 Alliance Credits."

The extra 50,000 Alliance Credits was the fee Jiang Jian agreed to for withdrawing the case.

On the other side.

Zhao Chenshuang sat in the Zhao family's luxury hovercar, unable to maintain her image anymore, her eye twitching crazily, roaring: "My money!"

"The Zhao family's money!"

"If it weren't for showing my image of loving my family in front of the old man..."

The young girl in the white dress bit her teeth hard, constantly comforting herself in her heart.

Money, after all, is an external possession.

With the array business, if the money is gone, it can be earned back.

The position of the Zhao family's heir is the most important.

In the constant self-brainwashing, Zhao Chenshuang slowly calmed down.

"Eldest Miss, the family head only gave 400,000 to dissolve the contract..."

Suddenly, her private butler's face turned pale, and he walked up cautiously, whispering.

"You spent all of the 300,000+ Alliance Credits in your account; this is your resource fee for the remaining two years at Anhe Academy..."

"Besides that, you also owe the Guangling Treasury a high-interest loan of 150,000 Alliance Credits..."

As these words fell.

The luxury hovercar fell into a terrible silence.

The next second.

Zhao Chenshuang opened her bloodshot eyes, unable to suppress the anger in her heart anymore.

Her small leather shoe kicked fiercely toward the butler's face.

"Go to hell!"
