Overgod Ascension

Sound Nest City.

In the early morning, Vidi got up from bed, and the tempting smell of food came from the living room.

The toasted bread was browned and steaming on the outside, and next to it were two slices of bacon that were fried to perfection, and a piece of poached egg.

The hot fresh milk in the glass jar makes people want to eat it.

"Master, today's newspaper!"

Vidi sat down, and the maid took the initiative to put a napkin around him.

On a table next to him, his butler put down the iron and put the ironed newspaper on it.

In this era, civilian technology and military technology, and even royal technology, are completely different concepts. Although the latter two have reached the level of transistors and display screens, among the people, the ink of printing plants is still generally not up to standard and has a shoddy taste. Especially freshly printed newspapers will be stained with a layer of ink when touched.

Ordinary newspapers cannot afford such high-end technology due to cost issues.

Therefore, in truly upper-class families, there is someone who is responsible for ironing the newspapers delivered every morning. Under normal circumstances, this is the job of the housekeeper.

"Um!"

Vidi took the warm newspaper. After ironing it, the ink on it had dried completely, exuding a refreshing fragrance and not touching his hands at all.

"Science Quest magazine closed down?"

He drank milk, ate bacon with bread, and then read the newspaper. He was suddenly surprised and felt that it was reasonable.

"There have been so many supernatural incidents in the kingdom, and the other party can't even explain it. The angry readers have long wanted it to give an explanation..."

Vidi turned over the second page of the newspaper, and a striking headline suddenly appeared in front of his eyes - 'Exploring the Siberian Forest and discovering traces of the mysterious werewolf! ’

"Okay! Another werewolf has been discovered. What's going on in this world?"

Vidi rolled her eyes and complained.

Throughout his life, there was no difference in elementary school or junior high school. After that graduation trip, he broke through the obstruction of his parents when he came back and chose the path he wanted. And he was doing quite well. Now he is a sound nest. He is a well-known businessman in the city.

It's just that he hasn't changed much, but this world has become more and more unfamiliar to him.

"Enrollment in the paranormal class?"

"Teaching by the Master of Occultism!"

"Lectures by Henry the Adventurer?"

…

There were many advertisements and recruitment information on the back page of the newspaper. Vidi just glanced at it and shook his head: "Since the appearance of werewolves, there have been more and more scammers in the kingdom claiming to have special powers. If it is true, If you want to experience super powers, you might as well go directly to the Redemption Church, at least those magical powers must be real!"

Thinking of the Redemption Church and Pope Steven, Vidi couldn't help but smile.

Being able to make a friend like him was simply the greatest achievement in his life.

He even suspected that if it weren't for the influence of this halo, his career in Yinchao City would not be so smooth.

"My butler, is there anything else I missed on my schedule today?"

After eating and drinking, Vidi wiped his mouth with a white napkin, chewed another mint, and asked leisurely.

"According to yesterday's itinerary, Master, you should arrive at the company at nine in the morning. The driver is already waiting outside... Also, Madam came to see you and left you a message!"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

A look of helplessness appeared on Vidi's face: "If you want me to sign up for some weird cram school and meet with an important person in college admissions, then you don't need to tell me."

"Actually, neither!"

The butler's expression was very strange: "Madam asked me to tell you that she has prepared a marriage for you and hopes that you will meet your fiancée tonight!"

"Wait a minute!"

Vidi's eyes immediately widened: "A marriage agreement? Fiancée? Oh my god... What era do those old-fashioned couples think we are in now? Shouldn't this kind of marriage decided by parents be swept into the garbage heap of history long ago?"

"In fact, neither the master nor the madam think so!"

His butler said in a tone full of regret: "As your personal butler, I also recommend that you meet this Miss Lilith, who comes from a famous family in the kingdom!"

"Alright alright……"

Vidi sighed: "I didn't expect that even if I move out, I still can't escape the clutches of my family... But in order to prevent them from coming here and roaring... you tell her, I will go!"

Jingle Bell!

At this moment, on the small round table in the living room, a telephone with a golden microphone and a ringing bell suddenly rang.

"Master, I'm looking for your phone number. The person claiming to be your old classmate!"

After the butler took it, he immediately handed the microphone to Vidi.

"I have a lot of classmates. Ever since I established my trading company, I can see a few acquaintances when I go out..."

Vidi muttered dissatisfiedly, took the phone, and immediately heard a very surprised voice: "Hi! Vidi, I'm Steven, do you have time to get together? Call the others!" "

"Yes, of course!"

Vidi jumped up almost immediately: "Where are you? I'll be there right away?"

"Don't worry, I will take the airship and arrive at Yinchao City this evening. I will have one night to spare."

Wu Ming said from the opposite side.

"I understand, I will pick you up personally when the time comes!"

Vidi took a deep breath, put down the phone, and immediately said loudly: "Butler, go to the best hotel in the city immediately, book a good private room, and have a banquet."

"Also, that wedding meeting, please reschedule it!"

Vidi made the decision quickly, and the butler raised his eyebrows in surprise. He rarely saw his master beaming with joy.

"I'm going to start preparations now, and I have to make a few more calls. Neville and Phillip will definitely be called, and Alice...well...I heard she's been having a bad day recently..."

…

At the same time, inside a research institute in Yinchao City.

"Alice, what's wrong with you? Why are even the simplest parameter records wrong?!"

Alice was wearing the work clothes she had to wear in the workshop, with a lot of engine oil on her body. She kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, director, I'll be careful next time!"

"Do you still want a next time?"

The owner's chubby face was filled with anger: "Alice, do you know what the environment is like now? The situation in various research institutes is not good, and our research institute is also preparing to lay off employees..."

Alice's face suddenly turned pale.

This is also true. When supernatural powers appear in the world, these basic scientific research institutions have the greatest impact. Unless they happen to be studying supernatural abilities, they will generally be questioned.

"It's getting harder and harder to get along in society now. Even elites from universities are interested in our small research institute. I've received ten resumes this week..."

After hearing the director's scolding, Alice's head lowered.

It was her life's regret that she had not been admitted to college. Although she studied harder these years, she still worked very hard every day and had to attend various training classes at night. The cost was often not worth the gain, and she could not do both well.

In fact, there are easier paths.

That is to give up on your dreams and get married and have children honestly.

Her mother has already identified several candidates for her, and they all look very good.

But for some reason, Alice just didn't want to.

'How could I just waste my youth on these things...'

Alice secretly gritted her teeth, but on the surface, she still had to apologize.

After being scolded by the director, taking on more punitive work, and having her salary deducted for another day, Alice finally walked out of the research institute, feeling as if she had come off a battlefield with bruises all over her body.

Bar Bar!

At this moment, the sound of the airbag horn suddenly sounded on the side of the road.

"Hey beauty, want a lift?"

A guy who was dressed casually and looked like a rich second generation opened the door of the steam car and bowed slightly: "I also include a free dinner here!"

"Vidi, you guy!"

Looking at this old classmate, Alice finally showed a relaxed smile.

The other person and she had the same problem in the first half of her life. They were both poor in academic ability. No matter how hard they tried, they could not catch up with those guys who were academic masters and academic gods.

It's just that Vidi was very lucky. Her family conditions were far better than hers, and she had more courage and resolutely started her own path.

"Aren't you going to the company today?"

Alice asked a little strangely.

"Get in the car first!"

Vidi invited Alice into the car without any explanation, and then confessed: "A few of our old classmates are getting together, and I also called Inspector Philip and Neville..."

"Philip also graduated successfully and was assigned to be a police inspector here!"

Alice sighed quietly and suddenly reacted: "No...why are you having a party all of a sudden?"

"Of course it's because he's here!"

Vidi sighed: "Alice, I know you are very strong and don't want to accept our help, but you have to know that in this highly competitive society, you need to use all your resources as chips on the gambling table, otherwise, you will How do you defeat those who are from a better family than you and work harder than you?"

"I know, I know all this..."

Alice murmured, the feeling in her heart was so complicated that it was hard to describe.

And all of this suddenly intensified to its peak when we got out of the car and arrived at the box of the largest hotel in the city center.

"I don't fit here, so let's go!"

She looked at the splendid decoration and her extremely simple, starched and white work clothes, and suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.

"Now that you're here, why are you leaving? At least meet your old friends first!"

With sharp eyes, Vidi saw a figure and immediately shouted: "Neville, here! Here!!"
