The infinite evolution of the system

Then Anna Villaris didn't need to order Zhou Xing to go out one by one. Zhou Xing had told her long ago that as long as the core castle was expanded again, there would be new mines waiting in the forest outside. They occupied it, and Anna Villaris was indeed a qualified leader. When Zhou Xing appeared in Hope Castle, the newly refreshed iron mine was already guarded by armed forces.

Then, hoping to increase the upper limit of the castle's armed forces to 35 people, Zhou Xing directly recruited soldiers to fill in all the vacancies, and then used the remaining resources to research technology.

There is one good thing worth mentioning, because Zhou Xing has been actively hunting monsters for a long time. Although the core building has been upgraded to level three, Zhou Xing has not received a systematic monster siege reminder. In this regard, Anna Villari Siju has made great contributions, and earlier Zhou Xing told him that everything that the monster exploded must be picked up.Anna Villaris Anna Villaris did the same, and the accumulation of quantity finally reached the standard in the near future.

In terms of the number of monsters, the dwarves spawned the most, and they helped Zhou Xing solve the source of the initial iron. In addition, the giant wolves spawned more, and the concentrated energy clusters that burst out reached a level that could be used for technology. The only bad thing about the quantitative standard of research is that the energy load of the first level of research also needs [-] units of gold coins, so only one person can be designated.

But it is enough to look forward to. Zhou Xing also understands the routine of the system. Nothing is obtained for nothing, but as long as he persists, he will become stronger step by step. It takes ten hours to study the energy load of the first level. Anyway, Zhou Xing It is impossible for Xing to wait in the exclusive world. He went to see Anna Villaris. He was a powerful fighter, not only the leader, but also the soul of the armed squad.

The crisis brought about by fighting monsters for a long time can quickly unite the team members who have been fighting together into a group. Image, she is also a member of the Villaris family, a former princess, her innate leadership ability is an indelible advantage, anyway, she did not disappoint Zhou Xing.

I haven't seen you for a few days. Anna Villaris is very happy to see Zhou Xing, but Zhou Xing cannot stay in the exclusive world for a long time. He still has a lot of things that need to be dealt with as soon as possible. In the unhappy eyes of Villaris, Zhou Xing could only smile apologetically and left the exclusive world.

The investment in Xinfei Technology is only 150 million. Zhou Xing really didn’t think about what to do with the rest. He hoped to have money when he had no money. I didn't think there was any good way to deal with this money. It would be a waste if it was stored in a bank. Only by using it reasonably can money be made with money. It is not at all in the bank to earn interest.

It's a pity that Zhou Xing really didn't think about how to deal with it. He could only put it in the bank account first. After he came out of the exclusive world, he put on his clothes and went out.

Anyone who still lives in a rental house will deal with his basic necessities of life first after he has money, right?At least that's what Zhou Xing did. He didn't want to still live in that rented house. You know, now that he's rich and the boss, how can he still be the same as before?Not to mention the direct luxury to live in a good place, at least you must have your own house, you must have your own world, and you must improve all basic living conditions.

People live not just to live. People are emotional animals, not only material, but also spiritual. They all need to have a pursuit, desire, and pursuit to keep making progress and always looking for better things.

As a result, Zhou Xing had only reached the door when the phone rang, and it was from Liu Xinning.

Liu Xinning on the other end of the phone told Zhou Xing the bad news that his younger brother Liu Zhenghua had been kidnapped.

The kidnapper also made a special phone call. The strange thing is that the other party didn't extort money, but asked Liu Xinning to meet.

Just as Liu Xinning hung up, another call came from Zhou Xing's cell phone. It was an unfamiliar number, but it was from W City.

After connecting, there was a deep male voice. Before Zhou Xing could ask, the other party called out Zhou Xing's name, and then in Zhou Xing's silence, the other party quickly said a lot of information, including Zhou Xing's current address, his number, and the address of the courier company he used to work for, and then it was the highlight. The other party didn’t say who he was, and didn’t make any other requests. He just reported a series of phone numbers, claiming how much it would be if Zhou Xing didn’t call. , Zhou Xing will do so.

Before the other party finished speaking, Zhou Xing lost interest, hung up the phone directly, and blocked the other party decisively.

"Hehe, it came so fast. I thought that the law and order in W City was pretty good, and there would be no such thing. I didn't expect it to come earlier than expected, and it came directly. Black, black, it's fine if you don't come to me. If Here I am, I want you to know that some people are not easy to bully." Zhou Xing smiled, not taking it seriously at all, and directly stopped a taxi and rushed to Liu Xinning's house.

Liu Zhenghua had been missing for more than 20 hours, but Liu Xinning didn't have that awareness of vigilance. Only when the so-called kidnappers called did she know that her brother would be kidnapped by others.

It's not easy for an ordinary person who has no money, no fame, and doesn't even attract attention to be kidnapped. If the other party's brain is not flooded, it can only be for other purposes, but Liu Zhenghua has nothing worthy of other people's fancy What good would it do to kidnap him?Zhou Xing couldn't figure it out.

Liu Xinning was at home, and Liu Kuan was also at home. When Zhou Xing arrived, the two of them were sitting in the room with dull expressions, as if they had lost their souls.

Liu Xinning opened the door for Zhou Xing and sat back in her original seat. She looked at Zhou Xing who was standing by the door, a little anxious, a little helpless, and a little confused, and said, "I don't know who else can help me, I seem to be you I just called you because I know someone like that. My younger brother hasn’t contacted me since yesterday, and he doesn’t have any enemies. What’s the matter?” Liu Xinning stopped talking, blinked her eyes, and her eyes were not bad. The beautiful eyes were filled with crystal tears, "How could this be kidnapped by others?? I am just such a younger brother. If something happens to him, what should I do, woo woo woo woo"

She had already started to cry, crying very helplessly and sadly, she put her head between her legs, she couldn't see the expression, but her body was shaking.

Zhou Xing could only go forward to support her shoulders, and comforted her: "The kidnapper must have some purpose before doing it. You should think about it carefully. When and where was the last time you saw your brother? Something out of the ordinary."

Liu Xinning raised his head, his eyes were red, and he was only stunned for a moment before shaking his head and said: "When I saw him the day before yesterday in the restaurant, there was nothing unusual at all. I used to see him every day, that kid Tian is a heartless look, I watched too much, and I didn't look carefully that day, besides, I didn't know that he would be watched by others."

Tears welled up from Liu Xinning's red eyes again, and there was no end to the sputtering. A woman really doesn't have any ideas at this time, no matter how she used her own conditions to do something before, or how bright she was in front of others. Eyes, but at this time, she is just a woman, a woman who has no desire for help.

Zhou Xing sighed, and turned his head to look at Liu Kuan who was sitting on the side. Zhou Xing still remembered the way that cowhide kicked open the door that night. There are no flaws, looking at him at this time, he is not wearing that particularly imposing clothes, and there is no tattoo that is not known for the time being. He only has an inconspicuous long sleeve. He is sitting on a stool and smoking a cigarette silently. , From the looks of it, if you put on a straw hat, squat on the side of the road, and put two baskets of watermelons in front of you, it wouldn't feel out of place.

"Don't worry about it, there is no use in panic. Besides, hasn't your brother sent back any other news? As long as the kidnapper still calls and makes a request, it proves that the other party has a request. What will happen to Liu Zhenghua? This is Huaxia, W City, and a harmonious society ruled by law. If you think about it, they don't dare to do anything at will. You can rest assured that what we need to worry about is what kind of demands the kidnappers will have. We should How to do it." Zhou Xing said.

Liu Xinning still didn't have any ideas, but she slowly stopped crying. She also knew that panic would have no effect. Only by responding calmly can she control the development of the situation in her hands, which is also the best protection for herself and her brother.

"Let's call the police. The police will help us find Liu Zhenghua, ensure his safety, and bring criminals to justice." Liu Kuan finished smoking a cigarette in silence, then said suddenly.

Zhou Xing glanced at him, his eyes were strange, and he thought: I didn't expect you to trust the police, but you have to think about who you are and what you have done before. Besides, the police are not really needed until the time comes. When you come forward, if you call the police, the police will definitely take a large-scale action. Although City W is only a small city, but because it is a small city, it has no characteristics to attract foreigners. A small incident will cause waves. Once the police know that there is a kidnapping When a big event happens, it will definitely make a big fuss, and it will be alarmed and hidden in the dark. Maybe it is just a kidnapper who is looking for profit. The kidnapper gets anxious, but he really can do anything.

"No, they already said that if we call the police, they will kill Liu Zhenghua." Liu Xinning shook his head and said decisively.

Liu Kuan was silent, obviously he didn't know what to do for a while, he was just an ordinary person, he was really inexperienced, it was a natural reaction to call the police, after being rejected, he had no other ideas, Just smoking one after another.

"Yes, we can't rush to call the police before we figure out the other party's intentions. The police will just make the situation uncontrollable, and the other party has not acted aggressively. By the way, did they make any demands?" Zhou Xing asked.

"I don't have any other requirements, just want me to go to a place." Liu Xinning shook his head.

Zhou Xing heard that his eyes flickered, he touched his chin and did not speak. He faintly felt that this time things were a bit weird, but he could detect the difference with that faint feeling, whether it was normal logical reasoning, or according to the plot in the TV series, or even It was the kidnapper's demand, they didn't need it, and they had no reason to kidnap a poor boy, and they made such a weird request.

"At present, we can only act according to their intentions. They are in the dark, and we are in the light. The kidnapper is definitely not alone. They probably have a group of them. Even now, there will be an accomplice observing us. We, so I think it is very important to act according to their wishes, and then play by ear." Zhou Xing said.

Liu Xinning also lost her mind, she could only look at Zhou Xing's face, then nodded and said, "I'm just such a younger brother, I don't want anything to happen to him."

"I don't want anything to happen to him, and I will try my best to make him come back intact." Zhou Xing said again: "Did the other party say where and when?"

"Yes, at noon tomorrow, in a factory in the western suburbs." Liu Xinning took out his phone and looked at the map, and said, "It's a bit far away, and it looks very remote."

"Don't think too much, you need to calm down now, think about whether there are any missing details, and be prepared, after all, the other party is a criminal, just in case, we all need to prepare for the worst, put some Follow-up preparations are ready. Have you had lunch?"

"No, after learning about my brother, I stayed in the house and didn't go out." Liu Xinning shook his head.

"Then go out and eat something. No matter what happens, it is very necessary to fill your stomach. Even if you go to a meeting place, you can't go hungry. You must eat something." Zhou Xing stretched out his hand, Liu Xinning He raised his head and looked at Zhou Xing blankly for a few times before grabbing Zhou Xing's palm and standing up with strength.

Zhou Xingyou looked at Liu Kuan, who was sitting and smoking, throwing cigarette butts all over the floor, and said, "Uncle, let's go together? Don't worry, you have to eat enough. No matter what happens, you must have enough energy and strength to deal with it." .”

Liu Kuan looks like a person who has experienced a lot of things. He has a much stronger psychological endurance and is also more experienced. Moreover, it was only his nephew who had the accident, so there is less psychological burden. When he heard Zhou Xing's words, he simply said They stood up, patted their buttocks and went downstairs together.

Unexpectedly, during the meal, the other party called. Unexpectedly, they added conditions. The request was nothing more than money, a lot of money, and they didn't even consider whether a person like Liu Xinning could get it, and threatened If Liu Xinning didn't do what they said, he would definitely kill Liu Zhenghua.

Liu Xinning panicked, when the phone slipped from her hand, her body shook violently, and she quickly ran out of the small restaurant.

"What to do, what to do?? What to do." On the side of the road, Liu Xinning grabbed her long hair and slowly squatted down, just repeating three words, without any judgment ability.

Zhou Xing and Liu Kuan chased them out, and Liu Kuan finally realized something, bent down and pressed Liu Xinning's shoulder, and asked in a deep voice, "What did they say?"

"Tomorrow, we must bring 50 yuan to ensure Liu Zhenghua's safety. We cannot call the police. They said someone was watching us and warned me not to play tricks." Liu Xinning covered her face, and her calm tone was gone.

"50??" Liu Kuan's face darkened suddenly, he stomped his feet fiercely, and said in a hateful voice: "Didn't they see our conditions? How could they get it? They can't get it even if we sell it." Come out, isn't this intentionally forcing us to a corner?" The voice was at the end, and he was already gnashing his teeth, it seems that this uncle who was acting fierce during the play is not so easy to provoke, at least he can guess if the kidnappers appear now , the other party will definitely know the price of offending him.

"Yeah, we don't have any money at all, but they don't care about it. They want me to meet at the meeting place tomorrow. No matter what happens, I have to be there." Liu Xinning obviously couldn't bear the pressure, and suddenly stood up , grabbed Liu Kuan's arm, and said anxiously: "Are we going to call the police? Only the police can help us. Just be careful, be careful and notify the police, act today, and make arrangements as soon as possible tomorrow. There won’t be many people, and the police can subdue them in a very short time, and Liu Zhenghua will be safe. If they want to call the police, they should call the police. If they are so afraid of the police, they will definitely be arrested by the police!!”

As she said that, she finally found evidence that could support her hope, and quickly stumbled and ran to one side without looking at where she was going.

She didn't want to run a few steps, she was pulled back, a pair of powerful palms firmly grasped her arms, unable to take another step, she turned around suddenly, and what she saw was Zhou Xing's face that was not too panicked, Until now, Liu Xinning realized that the man in front of her who grabbed her arm was not particularly excited. There are two possibilities, either he didn't take his brother's safety into consideration at all, or he just faced it alone. People who have experienced more and more serious situations no longer take this kind of thing to heart.

Liu Xinning would rather believe that Zhou Xing is the latter, but she finds sadly that the reality is likely to be the former.

Looking at Zhou Xing's calm and unaffected expression, Liu Xinning suddenly felt a chill all over her body, that feeling of being so cold that she had no strength all over her body. Her trembling lips, before she could speak, Zhou Xing said lightly: "You What are you going to do? All impulsive decisions will make people regret later, you should be more calm now, things have not reached the point you imagined, at least the other party just needs a sum of money, yours My brother is definitely safe, if you panic, then things will be pushed in an unpredictable direction."
