Chapter 502: Chapter 121: The Changes After Boxing Breaks Limit, The Arrival of Million Rewards! (Requesting Monthly Tickets!!)_3
Then, while it was still early, he continued to practice his boxing, tempering his bones, bit by bit transforming all his bones to jade-like toughness.
...
Morning.
The sky was still overcast with clouds.
Jiang Ning made his way to the Internal Affairs Office.
He saw Granny Bai with her silvery hair, still warming herself by the charcoal fire like any ordinary elderly village woman.
"Elder!"
With his call, the old woman’s eyes, which had been slightly closed, slowly opened.
"It’s you!" she seemed to have just awakened, her eyes somewhat hazy and her thoughts slightly sluggish.
The next moment.
Her gaze cleared from the murkiness.
"I thought you, lad, had forgotten!" the old woman said with a smile. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"How could I forget when I am so penniless!" Jiang Ning replied.
"Lucky boy!" the old woman continued, "Because the recent directive from above did not mention the rewards for crushing fifth-grade members of the God Worship Sect, the reward from your previous merits will be extended and increased."
As she spoke, the old woman continued to look at Jiang Ning with a smile, as though she wanted to see his reaction.
At this, a light shone in Jiang Ning’s eyes and he took a heavier breath, "Elder means... a million reward?"
"That’s right! A reward of a million Contribution Points!" Granny Bai nodded slightly and then her face showed a touch of emotion, "A million contributions, for you, is like ascending to the heavens in a single step!"
"If you want to be promoted, just these million Contribution Points alone could elevate you several ranks. With your strength, you could even become a deputy commander in the county with a Secondary Sixth-rank."
"If a place is lacking personnel, you might choose not to be a minor official but to take up the position of Inspector Mansion Master of a county, which would be even more comfortable."
"Every Inspection Office is an independent operational system, and the Residence Master has the highest authority in that place!"
Hearing the old woman’s words, Jiang Ning immediately understood.
She seemed to be guiding him on future choices.
With a million Contribution Points, along with his current strength, indeed, he had many options.
But he had no such intentions.
Entering the Inspection Office, his initial purpose was merely to find a place to stay,
not to truly seek a legacy of dignitaries and military achievements that would shine brightly for generations.
Let alone that the Inspection Offices were newly established, and it was rare to find a vacancy for an Inspector Mansion Master, even if there were one, he had no interest in it.
The higher the official position, the more trivial matters to attend to.
The more trivial matters, the less he could focus on practicing martial arts and enhancing his own strength.
In this world where tremendous power could be embodied within one’s self, all fame, status, and wealth, in his view, were ultimately mere accessories. Accessories should only be supplemental, not the main focus.
The main focus was always on enhancing one’s own strength and the transformation of one’s life.
Just like the Martial Saint of Great Xia.
He alone maintained eight hundred years of peace and lived for over eight hundred years.
Living for over eight hundred years is not just a symbol of power, but also a transformation of the level of life.
And this Martial Saint is the best example before him!
He alone was worth more than a thousand troops.
In comparison, even the emperor above the halls of power paled in comparison.
The stability or change of the throne probably also depended on his breath.
In front of that Martial Saint, the throne was not worth mentioning, and so was the royal power.
With a lifespan nearly a millennium long, one can only imagine how many dynasties he had seen changing.
His existence, his nearly thousand years of life, is akin to an Immortal living among mortals.
For ordinary people, such a lifespan is seen as longevity and blessedness.
A commoner’s life, on average, barely spans a hasty sixty years.
A thousand years of life span many generations of people.
In front of such a being, what significance do glory, wealth, and power hold?
If that Martial Saint wished it, all could be easily obtained.
Changing dynasties needed only a thought from that Martial Saint.
Therefore, Jiang Ning had long understood what he was seeking.
Power, status, glory, and wealth, these are merely incidental pursuits for him.
In this era, he too needed power and status for the comfortable environment they could bring, allowing him to practice martial arts with peace of mind and increase his own strength.
