The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 8 has a new additional question!
[Ancient Relic: The Holy Grail of the Yellow King* (Incomplete)]
[Details: This is an ancient relic from the ruins of the Kakosha Church. According to legend, you only need to inject the blood of the user into the Holy Grail to make it explode with amazing power. The more blood you inject, the greater the power... …]
*****************
Chen Jing stared at the old man who was close at hand without moving, and looked at the face that should have been extremely familiar but was extremely unfamiliar, and his heartbeat gradually began to speed up.

Although he hasn't had a chance to look at the "ancient relic" that appeared in his arms out of thin air, but judging by the feel...it seems to be a cup-shaped metal utensil, about as long as the palm of his hand, and the opening is extremely cold and even Bitter cold.

It's like ice cubes just out of the freezer.

Everywhere the skin comes into contact with it can feel a little tingling.

"So... it's time to turn around now?"

Chen Jing looked into the deep eyes of the old man, and his first reaction was to follow the prompts on the light curtain to use the Holy Grail.

Although he didn't know what it was used for, but the introduction said... an offensive weapon, right?
But think about it.

Chen Jing thinks it's okay.

Not to mention whether the old man will give him this "casting time", even if he is really well prepared, he won't be able to do it for a while.

Of course.

Soft-heartedness is only part of the reason.

The main reason is the fear of death.

He didn't want to be smashed into pieces by the old man in a fit of rage, and he would have to be complained by the cleaners even if he couldn't fasten the buttons on the floor.

"You scared me!"

Chen Jing replied nervously, wondering when the old man ran into his bed.

and……

Why did he suddenly come in?

"I just suddenly remembered something."

Chen Bofu suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up, looking at Chen Jing seriously.

"Don't take the education qualification certificate exam, grandpa will take you to do some serious work tomorrow!"

"Okay."

Chen Jing didn't know what serious job the old man was talking about, but when it came to educational qualification certificates...

It seems to have seen it in "my" diary.

Previously, "I" had been preparing for the kindergarten education qualification certificate.

"Okay, it's over, I'm going to sleep."

As soon as Chen Bofu finished speaking, he turned over and got out of bed, but before Chen Jing, who was beaming with joy, got up to see him off, he stopped and asked back.

"Where did you get that thing in your arms?"

At this time, Chen Jing had already got up and turned on the lamp on the bedside table.

Following Chen Bofu's gaze, he lowered his head and saw that the Holy Grail in his arms was indeed a metal utensil, which was the same as his initial analysis through touching it.

The overall shape of the Holy Grail is actually more like an hourglass, but the upper part is larger than the lower part, and there is a vertical spike in the upper part of the cup, which faintly smells of blood.

There are many raised and twisted patterns on the metal surface of the cup. They are connected and intertwined with each other, outlining dozens of totems of unknown meaning... or some kind of words?
According to the details on the light curtain, the Holy Grail seems to be incomplete, but through observation, Chen Jing did not see where it was incomplete.

The Incomplete Holy Grail of the Yellow King...

Who is Huang Wang?

An NPC in the other world?
"Pick it up."

Chen Jing answered bravely, wondering if the old man would believe it.

"Where did you pick it up?" Chen Bofu asked.

"I saw it on the side of the road when I got out of the car. I thought it looked pretty, so I picked it up..."

Chen Jing carefully made up a lie, and seeing that the old man was silent, he asked another question.

"Why do you have such a serious expression... Did I do something wrong..."

"Nothing wrong, just..."

Chen Bofu sighed and looked away from the Holy Grail.

"This thing is unlucky, throw it away tomorrow."

"You know him?" Chen Jing was startled, and thought that it was given by the examiner, and in a big way, it was given by the gods. How could he just say it was unlucky and let me throw it away?
"I don't know it, but it can be seen that it is an ancient relic."

Hearing the words "ancient relic" that popped out of Chen Bofu's mouth, Chen Jing couldn't help being stunned for a while...

and many more.

Could it be that the reward given by the examiner is directly related to this other world?

or rather...

Are these things originally from the other world? ?

"What is an ancient relic?"

After Chen Jing subconsciously asked this sentence, he regretted it, and his heart jumped into his throat instantly, because he didn't know whether his original "self" had asked this question.

But after thinking about it, it's nothing to ask.

Didn't the old man get vaccinated before?

I am forgetful!
"Don't ask me any more, I won't tell you before, and I won't tell you now..." Chen Bofu smiled, and reached out to take away the holy grail in Chen Jing's arms, "Grandpa, throw it away for you!" .”

"This thing looks quite expensive!" Chen Jing hastily refused, holding on to the Holy Grail tightly and refusing to let go.

"How can your stingy virtue be different from your grandma...forget it."

Chen Bofu shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked out of the room, muttering something softly.

"If you want to keep it, you can keep it... Anyway, you don't know how to use this thing..."

The old man's voice was very soft, but Chen Jing still heard it.

I don't know how to use it?
It even comes with an instruction manual!
It wasn't until he heard the sound of closing the door that Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly became vigilant because he found that the old man didn't talk about martial arts.

Is it fun to get into the grandson's bed at night to scare people?
I'm not an old lady!
Remembering that he was scared to death by the old man before, Chen Jing kicked off the quilt angrily and frightened to check for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, he held the Holy Grail and prepared to sleep.

But after a few seconds.

He sat up again like sleepwalking, and lifted the quilt nervously.

still none.

"Now I can sleep in peace..."

Chen Jing let out a long sigh of relief, he just felt that he was about to be frightened out of his psychological shadow by that old man...

Don't even mention him.

Who is afraid of this kind of thing!

That old man walks really silently!
And there was no door knocking!

So how did he get in...

Chen Jing thought about it for ten minutes, but still couldn't figure it out. In the end, he became dizzy and began to feel sleepy.

He yawned tiredly, and the quilt was slightly lifted to cover half of his face, and he was ready to sleep.

But at this moment, that familiar voice came again.

"Good grandson? Are you asleep?"

"I……"

Chen Jing swallowed the word "fuck" abruptly, and looked at the head that passed through the wall and floated on the bedside, he was so frightened that he regained his energy in an instant.

"I didn't scare you, did I?" Chen Bofu seemed a little guilty.

"What do you think?" Chen Jing couldn't help asking back, and then touched his pants, but luckily it was done.

"Oh, I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to remind you..."

"what's up?"

"Don't go to your aunt Hong's place these few days, the 'Sacrifice Moon' is coming soon, and their family is very dangerous... You should remember this, right?"

Can I say I don't remember?
Chen Jing couldn't help complaining in his heart.

But what is the sacrificial moon period?
Their family is very dangerous... how to understand this sentence?

Chen Jing felt even more confused.

"The mother and son are no match for grandpa and me. The low-level old descendants can see that they can't see the moonlight of the sacrificial moon period. If they see it, they will go crazy... I'm going to sleep. I'm really asleep this time. Get some rest!"

Chen Bofu left such a sentence, and then slowly retracted his head into the wall...

It was also at this time that Chen Jing realized that this old man could really walk through walls.

It's like a ghost!

"Low-level old descendants..." Chen Jing murmured in his heart, with a trace of unconcealable curiosity in his eyes, "Since there are low-level...does that mean there are still middle-level and high-level?"

Is this the level division of strength?
What is the old seed?
Are those natives with superpowers?

The more I think about it, the more sleepy I get.

Chen Jing yawned, thinking that he should really sleep, otherwise he would have to suffer to death, but before going to sleep, he was going to do another experiment.

"grandfather?"

"Hey! My dear grandson is here!"

Sure enough, Chen Jing just called out tentatively, and the old man who said he was going to sleep appeared out, but this time he didn't come out from the wall, but from the floor... No, to be precise, from the floor... In the crack of the door.

Like a cardboard man.

First, he squeezed out half of his body from the crack of the door, and then slowly puffed up. The picture and the crisp sound of the bones returning to place are not to mention scary...

But Chen Jing is not very afraid now.

It just turned into an emoticon package of "Subway old man looking at his phone.jpg".

"I'm really going to sleep this time. If you want me to live with you for a few more years, don't scare me anymore. Can you walk in through the gate openly next time?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Good night."

"Well... what is good night?"

……

This time Chen Jing fell into a deep sleep.

Almost never woke up.

If you start counting after graduating from university, this should be the best sleep Chen Jing, who suffers from neurasthenia, has ever slept.

It wasn't until noon that Chen Jing woke up in a daze when he heard an exclamation from the living room.

"It's broken! Let these owners run away! This shit is finished!"

When Chen Jing came out of the bedroom sleepily, Chen Bofu gritted his teeth and was still jumping around in the living room, obviously extremely angry.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"It's broken, it's broken, the money tree is gone..." Chen Bofu said with a bitter face.

"What cash cow?"

Chen Jing yawned so much that he wanted to go back to sleep again, but when he looked closely at Chen Bofu's jumping feet, he lost all sleepiness.

of course.

He was even more curious about the pile of real estate certificates piled up on the ground like small hills.

"Okay..." Chen Jingxin thought, and looked at the red books calmly, "There are at least a hundred real estate certificates in this pile...Could it be that these are all my houses?"

With great anticipation and half-curiosity, Chen Jing stepped forward and picked up a random book to read, and was immediately disappointed.

Owner's name...don't know.

It's not Chen Jing's.

Nor is it Grandpa Chen Bofu's.

"Where do these real estate certificates come from?" Chen Jing couldn't help asking.

"The day before yesterday I asked those homeowners to deduct it. If I don't deduct it, they won't give me the property fee!" Chen Bofu stomped his feet angrily.

"Oh...they haven't handed it in yet?"

"It was handed in yesterday morning."

"Then you are..."

"I haven't handed in today's one!"

When Chen Bofu mentioned this matter, he was so angry that he almost burst into tears with his aggrieved appearance, just like an old country man who had just entered the city to sell goods and was deceived by someone with counterfeit banknotes.

"Is the property fee paid by the day?" Chen Jing asked tentatively.

"That's not true, it's paid on an annual basis. I'm mainly afraid that they won't pay in the future, so I asked them to pay more... Look!"

While talking, the old man took out a bunch of receipts from under the coffee table and handed them to Chen Jing.

Chen Jing took it over and took a look.

The words are beautifully written.

But the content, the truth, made him a little confused.

"This..." Chen Jing glanced back at the electronic clock on the wall, checked the date, month and date, and made sure he read it correctly, "The property fee here starts to be paid in 50 years?"

"I let it go!" Chen Bofu said angrily, "It turns out that they have been paying each other year after year, and it's just that they often delay!"

"Didn't you hand in everything yesterday... what about 50 years..." Chen Jing asked dumbfounded, "What did you ask them to hand in today?"

"For another 50 years, make up a round number." Chen Bofu said solemnly, "One hundred is an auspicious number! Treat them well!"

"..."

"But I got up today to take a look! Those grandchildren all ran away! They ran away with their families! They don't even want the TM real estate certificate!"

Master Chen!

You have received all the property fees for 50 years and you are still not satisfied!
The owners are all poor ghosts!
There is no oil to squeeze!

Yesterday, you paid for 50 years, and today you are urging to make up for another 50 years. What about tomorrow... Depending on your temperament, you may not know how to scrape their oil and water!
What are you waiting for if you don't run!
When you are in a hurry, take pictures of them into pieces that can't be buckled up on the ground?
"If it were me, I would run too."

Chen Jing flipped through the stack of receipts in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This old man is worse than a capitalist!

"But it's okay, three families have paid..." Chen Bofu suddenly sighed, and took out three brand new receipts from his pocket, "Look how qualified they are! Look at those grandchildren! As for the drag family Run with your mouth!"

"Are these three families taken advantage of?"

Chen Jing wanted to ask this question, but he still didn't dare to speak after holding back for a while.

Take a look at the receipt.

They are a household on the 30th floor, a household on the 29th floor, and... the underground garage on the third floor?

Are there people living there?
Could it be that the parking fee was wrongly written as a property fee?

"Jingjing, I have something to go out later, please help me send these receipts to others, lest others will gossip and say that I did not accept the money!"

"Fine……"

Just as Chen Jing put these receipts into his pocket, the light curtain that he shut down last night suddenly popped out in front of his eyes.
