Astral Apostle

Chapter 75: Appointment and Bottleneck (1)

[The projection has ended.]

[Actual time of stay: 12 days]

[Current resource collection: 514 Astral Points]

[Experience log has been recorded, and relevant exploration results have been entered into the Records.]

[Cooldown till next Astral Projection: 16 hours in main body]

The projection time was over. Zhou Jing returned to the preparatory space, and the interface information appeared.

“Yo, there are quite a lot of Astral Points this time.” Zhou Jing took a look at the statistics and realized that it was from killing the high-risk mutated beast.

In addition, his Astral Apostle’s synchronization rate had already reached 64%. The moment it exceeded 50%, the rate of his return settlement was increased proportionally to his synchronization rate.

A synchronization rate above 50% was an additional bonus. Thus, the rewards rate of the Astral Apostle, Jason·Wood, was 114%—-which was 14% more than before.

His results were quite fruitful. Not only did his apostle obtain supernatural powers, but it also entered the circle of hunters and took a solid step forward.

He planned to use a few days like before to let Jason·Wood develop and master the two new sets of Hunter’s Breathing Technique. Then, he could start preparing for the second blood enhancement.

“This situation is great.”

Zhou Jing was secretly happy.

He closed the settlement panel and entered the settings interface.

[Subject: Jason·Wood]

[Maximum synchronization rate: 64% (Third Stage)]

[Reward Limit: Astral Points 940/4000, Information State Rewards 0/40]

He was already familiar with the process and quickly set up the placement plan. He continued the conservative route of focusing on cultivation and left the preparatory space.

Buzz—

His consciousness trembled and returned to his body.

When Zhou Jing opened his eyes, he saw that it was already dawn outside the window.

He sat up and opened the interface to take a look at his attributes. He suddenly realized that his Spirit attribute had increased by 1 point, reaching 8 points.

Over the past few days, he had already confirmed that constantly traveling would temper his main body’s mental strength. Every time he returned, he felt that his mind was clear, and he seemed to be more energetic. It was only today that he had accumulated enough to officially increase his own attributes.

“If I can continue to grow, can my mental attributes accumulate to the transcendent level? Or is it because my basic mental strength is not high enough, so it can still increase?”?Zhou Jing pondered.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be more suitable for some mental-type superpowers… However, he had no choice in the type of superpower he could obtain at the moment.

Zhou Jing had already traveled a few times and was familiar with it. He sorted out his gains this time and got up to wash up. After eating a simple breakfast, he followed his own plan to train his body and obtain more relevant information.

Every time he returned for the past few days, he would devote his time to training and learning. It was very urgent. On the contrary, most of the time in the Mutant World was more relaxing for him.

After training from early morning to noon, Zhou Jing casually made lunch. After a meal, he was about to continue studying when his phone suddenly rang.

An unknown number called in.

Zhou Jing turned to look at his phone. After it rang three times, he picked it up unhurriedly and answered the call.

“Hello, who is this?”

“Hello, is this Mr. Zhou Jing?”

A soft female voice came from the phone.

A voice he had never heard before… Zhou Jing’s eyeballs rolled as he thought quickly.

“That’s me. Who are you?”

“My name is Cheng Li, and I’m a staff member of the Interstellar Immigration Bureau’s West Sea City Branch. We’ve already received your immigration information. Now, we’re calling to confirm and make an appointment for a visit… Is it convenient for you to video call us now?”

“Oh, sure.”

Zhou Jing remembered that when he came out of his house, he had filled in the application form for forced immigration and confirmed this quota. According to the regulations, the Immigration Bureau naturally had to visit.

He switched to video call mode, and a virtual screen immediately popped up on his phone, showing a woman. It was Cheng Li who was talking to him.

She looked to be in his thirties and was quite charming. She had a polite smile on her face and was wearing the Immigration Bureau’s uniform, sitting at her desk.

Through the screen, Cheng Li carefully sized up Zhou Jing as if confirming if it was him. After two seconds, she spoke up.

“Mr. Zhou Jing, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Before you board the immigration spacecraft, I’ll be in charge of contacting you. I’ll now tell you the pending procedures for the immigration procedures. I hope you can take note of it.”

“Okay, go ahead,” Zhou Jing replied casually.

Cheng Li nodded and smiled in a gentle tone. “First of all, we need to confirm the immigration information for ourselves.”

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows. “If I didn’t declare it, would it not count?”

“Of course it doesn’t count. We have to make sure that the applicant is familiar with the meaning of immigration and that he hasn’t been deceived, coerced, bewitched, or instigated in any way. We have to make sure that the applicant doesn’t have any objections. We have always adhered to the principle of consent. The applicant must voluntarily declare and personally confirm this. We will record it.”

Zhou Jing smiled. “We’ve already been forced to migrate. Is that still considered volunteering?”

Cheng Li’s smile did not change. “Yes, this is a rule. Forced immigration must be voluntary.”

“Alright, I wasn’t forced, and I know the meaning of immigration. Continue.” Zhou Jing shook his head and laughed, feeling that it was ironic.

“Alright.” Cheng Li nodded and smiled. “After we complete the video confirmation, we need to make an appointment for a face-to-face family visit. The goal of the visit is to understand your specific situation. I will ask you some questions about your family, studies, childhood, and so on, including your views on your hometown, immigration, and society. I hope you will take it seriously.”
