metaverse evolution.

The joy of the breakthrough made Chu Fei walk around in the secret room excitedly. After walking for a long time, he couldn't hold back and left the secret room again, ready to take a walk outside.

Unexpectedly, just as he stepped out of the door, the electromagnetic sensor sounded the "warning". The unique fluctuations instantly made Chu Fei explode: evil spirit!

There is an evil spirit in the City Lord’s Mansion!
Moreover, this evil spirit did not attack anyone, but just hid obediently in the corner.

In just a moment, Chu Fei understood that the evil spirit was "resting"!
After eating, ghosts and demons also need to rest and find a place to digest and absorb.

Looking at the hiding place of the demon spirit and feeling its strength, Chu Fei felt that this must be a veteran!
The evil spirit was hiding in a good place, under the suspended floor of the pavilion in the center of the garden in the city lord's mansion.

This place is a typical dark place. Besides, it is winter now, so few people would go into the pavilion. There are few people cleaning here either.

Moreover, demons are not human beings. When they hide, they will squeeze into the gaps like flowing water, which is unexpected for ordinary people.

Chu Fei's powerful electromagnetic perception swept around and scanned the terrain of the pavilion.

There is a pit under the pavilion where you can make a fire, but now it has become a refuge for evil spirits.

This place is very hidden, and you can't see it directly with your naked eyes. If it weren't for the "turning" ability of electromagnetic perception, the demon spirit would have missed it.

"How audacious!" Chu Fei couldn't help but sigh.

As for evil spirits and strange spirits, they are actually quite intelligent and should be treated as human beings.

It was just made into a weapon, so there might be some shortcomings in some places, and this shortcoming is probably that it is a bit reckless and not afraid of death. But that's all, it has little impact on spiritual intelligence.

It is precisely because of its intelligence that the evil spirit hides here.

Chu Fei thought for a moment and did not move the evil spirit.

Now, Chu Fei really wanted to see where this demon spirit would go next. There were not many opportunities to observe demon spirits.

After locking onto this evil spirit, Chu Fei continued to wander around, checking for any gaps.

Thanks to the improvement of cultivation, the direct perception range of electromagnetic perception ability has increased from 100 meters to 300 meters. This is very practical.

Compared with wind perception, electromagnetic perception is more delicate, and of course consumes more computing power.

After a while, he scanned the City Lord's Mansion and did not find the second demon spirit. This made Chu Fei more interested in this demon spirit. It seemed that this guy was not simple.

After taking a walk around, Chu Fei came to the office of the City Lord's Mansion. Someone here had already sorted out the recent affairs and was waiting for Chu Fei's instructions.

After a quick look, he found that there was a lot that the city lord really needed to do, such as personnel appointments, job transfers, resource allocation, wages and salaries, etc., all of which were stuffed in front of him.

Although Chu Fei has not been in power for a long time, only about two months on and off, there are obviously problems with this pile of documents.

Without even thinking about it, Chu Fei just took out the contents arranged by the demon spirits and masters, and threw the rest aside, "Let the deputy city lord deal with it. The most important thing now is the problem of the demon spirits and the problem of the masters' weapons.

I am now mainly responsible for solving the problems of monsters and weapons. The deputy city lord will handle the rest."

He is just the deputy city lord, an 11.0 guy. Chu Fei now knows the specific cultivation level of the deputy city lord Zhang Weiming: 11.6.

With this level of skills, Chu Fei felt that he could beat ten of them.

As for whether doing so would be considered bullying, of course not.

When Zhang Weiming put these messy things in front of him, Chu Fei only saw one signal: hit me!

As the saying goes, if you ask for a hammer, you will get a hammer. Chu Fei is a real man. Since you, Zhang Weiming, dare to do this, you must be prepared to be beaten.

If you dare to blast me with your thorns, do you really think the city lord is just a decoration?

Chu Fei, who had just completed a breakthrough, was full of confidence.

It's not even just a matter of confidence. Chu Fei also wants to establish his authority. What better way to do that than to kill the old city lord?
If he is obedient and knows what is happening, then beat him up. If that doesn't work, then kill him.

Zhang Weiming himself is a puppet pushed forward by the three major families of Zhou, Qian and Wang, and is a bullied character.

If others can bully me, why can't I bully him? Especially since Zhang Weiming is playing tricks on me!
If you weren't playing tricks, I could still help you. But now, you better lean on the wall.

Not long after Chu Fei sent his temporary secretary away, Zhang Weiming came over. Old Zhang looked humble and helpless, "City Lord."

"Yeah." Chu Fei nodded proudly, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Weiming held the lost information and answered cautiously, "City Lord, this information is beyond my ability to handle."

"I authorize you to handle it." Chu Fei waved his hand, "Go ahead. I will first familiarize myself with the situation in the City Lord's Mansion, and I expect to officially take over the work here after the Spring Festival.

Now everyone is busy dealing with demons and dragons, and I have to forge swords and sabers, so I don't have time to deal with these."

"This..." Zhang Weiming looked helpless.

Chu Fei: "Why, the deputy city lord doesn't even have this much responsibility? How about this, I will take responsibility if something goes wrong. Or you tell me who has a problem or who resists orders."

Zhang Weiming immediately said, "Zhang Xiaobo from the Finance Department and Zhao Guanglong who is in charge of the warehouse have been uncooperative."

Chu Fei: "Are these two people in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"exist."

"Call them over."

In less than a minute, Zhang Xiaobo and Zhao Guanglong appeared in front of Chu Fei.

Chu Fei looked at the two of them and said directly: "The deputy city lord said that you two are not cooperating with the work?"

Zhang Xiaobo immediately protested: "City Lord, the Finance Department has no money. I want to cooperate with the work, but we can't even pay the wages. What can I do?"

Zhao Guanglong said after a while: "City Lord, there is nothing in the warehouse. Many things cannot reach the warehouse at all, and there are even some privileged people who can take things directly from the warehouse without me. There are rats running in the warehouse now."

Chu Fei nodded, "Zhang Xiaobo."

"Here." Zhang Xiaobo stood up straight immediately.

Chu Fei: "From now on, you will be in charge of the warehouse and finance, both at the same time."

"what……"

"what……"

"what……"

The three of them were shocked by Chu Fei's order.

Zhao Guanglong opened his mouth and hesitated before asking, "City Lord, then I..."

"You're useless."

Zhang Guanglong's hair stood on end at these gentle words, and he wanted to avoid them.

However, Zhang Guanglong soon discovered that the space around him was frozen and he couldn't even open his mouth to speak.

The same is true for Zhang Xiaobo and Zhang Weiming next to them.

Chu Fei waved his hand gently, and with a slight and clever clang, the "flying sword" turned into a stream of light and slashed across Zhang Guanglong's neck. Then the "flying sword" turned around and pierced Zhang Guanglong's head again from the back of his head, just like a string of candied haws.

Chu Fei's sudden move stunned Zhang Xiaobo and Deputy City Lord Zhang Weiming. They were sweating profusely and stared at Zhang Guanglong in amazement, not realizing that they could turn their heads around.

Under Chu Fei's control, mainly due to the effect of freezing the surrounding true energy field, there was no blood splattering.

But this seems more horrifying, it feels like dismantling a puppet rather than killing a real person.

Chu Fei retracted his flying sword. Zhang Guanglong's body was frozen alone in the field. Chu Fei said to Zhang Xiaobo calmly, "Go check the warehouse accounts and find out Zhang Guanglong and the interest group behind him.

Feel free to check, as long as you don't find the 12.0 practitioner, you can check it at will. If it is found that it is 12.0, come to me and I will go to the other party to argue.

During the investigation, anyone who dares to obstruct will be killed.

The warehouses supporting the entire Cangyun City cluster are now empty. Let's see how many I can kill this time!"

Zhang Xiaobo and Zhang Weiming looked at each other and didn't dare to speak. With Zhang Guanglong as an example, they believed that Chu Fei would definitely do what he said.

Chu Fei waved his hand, asked the two to leave, and then asked someone to come in and clean up Zhang Guanglong's body.

Soon a staff member came in to collect the body. He kept his head down the whole time, not daring to look Chu Fei in the eyes, and his body trembled occasionally.

Chu Fei just smiled mysteriously in response to everyone's performance.

Actually, killing Zhang Guanglong was not Chu Fei's random killing. Don't forget, Chu Fei has the spiritual perception, the means of "seeing qi".

The aura may be vague, but if a person does too much evil, it will be much clearer.

According to Chu Fei's spiritual perception, Zhang Guanglong's aura was ferocious and obviously not a good sign.

A new official has three things to do when he takes office, and Chu Fei was too lazy to interrogate him. This is not a society ruled by law, so of course he would just chop the man off and then find someone to investigate.

Sometimes you have to cut the Gordian knot quickly, leaving the other party no time to clean up the mess and their accomplices no time to react, so that all the evidence is laid out in the open.

At the same time, killing this guy also made the investigators less worried and they could proceed with their work with peace of mind.

Of course, I also took the opportunity to play a game of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, so that Zhang Xiaobo and Zhang Weiming, especially Zhang Weiming, would know how powerful I was.

I think the memory of being frozen and unable to move just now will make the two of them more sober.

Freezing the void and flying through the air are standard abilities in 12.0!
While thinking, Chu Fei discovered that the demon spirit was moving.

“Now comes the fun part!”

Chu Fei only stood up and raised his foot forward, but he stepped on the air, about ten centimeters away from the ground.

Chu Fei just stepped on the void and his figure jumped out. The whole process was silent.

This is achieved by relying on phase change manifolds and the True Essence Field. In fact, the True Essence Field forms a "balloon" floating in the air, and the phase change manifold solidifies and settles.

As he moved forward, Chu Fei summarized the advantages and disadvantages of flying with wings and flying by relying on manifolds.

Manifold flight:

Advantages: Not affected by terrain, flexible and conducive to combat, can be silent; needs to unfold the True Yuan field during flight, with built-in defense;
Disadvantages: high energy consumption, even higher computing power consumption, and ultimately not fast enough - if you want to move forward on the manifold, you need a lot of calculation, energy control and transformation;

The True Essence Realm floats in the air in a manner that imitates a balloon. Although it is not a real balloon, it does have resistance.

In fact, relying on manifold to move forward requires expanding the field of true energy, which makes it easy to be discovered. This can only be said to be "silent" but not "noiseless".

Wings to fly:

Advantages: very familiar, consumes little energy and computing power, fast;
Disadvantages: It is noisy and easy to be discovered, and its wings require sufficient space, so it cannot be used in narrow places or dense jungles.

Therefore, it is best to organically combine the two flying methods to form a truly perfect level of defense.

While thinking, Chu Fei had already tracked the evil spirit and left the City Lord's Mansion.

The evil spirit left the City Lord's Mansion and moved forward about one kilometer. Chu Fei sensed the second evil spirit again.

Later, under the guidance of this evil spirit, Chu Fei discovered another 5 evil spirits.

After the seven demons gathered together, they obviously gathered together to communicate. Unfortunately, Chu Fei didn't know how the demons communicated. Then he saw the seven demons rushing straight towards the Yunlong Garden Hotel.

Yunlong Garden Hotel is the property of the Zhou family, who had previously wanted to give it to Chu Fei and the Pharmaceutical Research Center.

There are many people living here, especially business travelers. If this place is attacked, the impact will be huge.

The demons have no physical form and are very fast. If Chu Fei chases them frantically, he might not be able to catch up with them, and they might even become alert and scatter. Once these demons scatter and run away, it will be troublesome.

The demon spirit can get into tiny gaps, and its lack of physical form makes it very fast. Even Chu Fei is not sure about chasing a demon spirit that is determined to escape!

After thinking about it, Chu Fei finally decided: Let these unlucky guys suffer first. It’s better to cry together than to cry together. I will use you to hold back these seven evil spirits.

In fact, Chu Fei knew very well that this seemed to be a helpless choice, but it was also a different kind of helplessness. But, as the city lord, I really tried my best.

The seven demons followed the shadows on the roadside and arrived at the hotel silently, without anyone noticing. It can only be said that in terms of concealment ability, demons and ghosts have really reached their limit.

But it was better this way. The more hidden these demons were, the less likely they would dare to kill.

Chu Fei walked into the hotel, and everyone who was talking in the lobby turned to look at Chu Fei.

Chu Fei nodded, and suddenly stretched out his hand to "attack" a guy. The guy jumped down, but couldn't jump up, and everything around him was frozen.

Fear was swirling in this guy's heart.

But the next moment, Chu Fei dragged out a figure that seemed to be made of light black smoke from his own shadow.

"Devil!"

Some people around screamed.

Chu Fei opened his mouth and directly "sucked" the evil spirit away. During the whole process, the evil spirit was stretched, just like eating a piece of noodle.

Seeing Chu Fei's posture, some people around him actually swallowed their saliva.

Demonic spirits and ghostly spirits are very dangerous, but they can be eaten. They are great tonics for the soul. Chu Fei was the first to make this news public.

Now seeing Chu Fei's flexible posture, many people are envious.

Chu Fei waved his hand and continued to move forward. The guy who had just been frozen by Chu Fei finally woke up. He screamed at first, but stopped halfway and bowed to Chu Fei to express his gratitude.

Chu Fei turned the corner and soon found another demon in the corner. He swallowed it directly again.

If there were no outsiders, Chu Fei would definitely compress these magic spirits and seal them in a golden ball for safekeeping. It would not be easy to obtain magic spirits in the future.

But in front of so many people, I had no choice but to eat it. However, this way of eating it whole was not very efficient.

Fortunately, Chu Fei has upgraded recently, and his soul (negative entropy) has also grown stronger, so he can digest more evil spirits.

Afterwards, Chu Fei quickly caught five evil spirits and ate them all in front of everyone; at this time, Chu Fei had already climbed to the third floor.

Many people followed Chu Fei, but everyone became more and more silent. At this time, more than a dozen people were killed by the evil spirits, and died silently. These people were all alone in the room.

Coming out of the room again, Chu Fei moved his ears and heard a scream coming from the direction of the hall on the first floor.

Chu Fei knew that the evil spirit had revealed itself on its own initiative without even trying to hide itself.

As a unique weapon, the demon spirit has its own flaws. When faced with a problem, it is easy to get angry. Now the remaining two demon spirits probably discovered the danger, but they did not think of running away, but prepared to confront Chu Fei.

Chu Fei rushed out of the window and flew to the first floor. His powerful electromagnetic perception instantly detected two demons. One of them was killing people in the hall, and the other was hiding in the corner.

Obviously, this guy still wants to launch a sneak attack.

With a turn of his eyes, Chu Fei rushed towards the evil spirit in the hall. Just as he approached, the evil spirit in ambush rushed out and instantly rushed to the 14-meter range around Chu Fei.

A smile appeared on Chu Fei's face, and his true energy field froze instantly, causing the two evil spirits to stop in mid-air.

It is not easy to chase the evil spirit, but it will be much easier if the evil spirit comes to you on its own initiative.

In Chu Fei's territory, there were a few people with terrified looks on their faces. Just now, they were only half a meter away from the evil spirit entering their bodies.

Only by watching the demon killing people up close can you know what horror is.

The "rendering effect" of forcibly pulling the soul out of the body is really too terrifying - unlike the killing of evil spirits, the killing of evil spirits will pull out the soul, and the situation of the soul and the body being drawn together is not a good look.

Chu Fei grabbed the two demon spirits in his hands, shrank the range of his True Essence Field, and spoke slowly:

"Everyone, I'm sorry that there are still seven fish that escaped. Now that all the demons have been caught, everyone can rest assured."

There was sparse applause, but many people were still stunned. What happened today was beyond the tolerance of ordinary people.

Some people were crowding towards Chu Fei, holding the bodies of their companions or family members.

Without waiting for these people to come over, Chu Fei spoke again: "There are still two demon spirits left. I am going to auction them. The proceeds from the auction will be used to compensate those who were killed by the demon spirits today.

Those who can participate in the auction are people in the hotel.

Please inform each other, the auction will start in one hour.

The devil spirit can directly replenish the soul, that is, negative entropy, and increase spirituality. This is the only thing known so far that can make people smarter, and it can repair the low innate potential index. Even the masters with 12.0 are competing for it.

Let’s start with 10 billion. Once again, only people in the hotel can bid.”

Before Chu Fei finished speaking, someone raised his hand.

"You said."

This person squeezed out, a little excited: "City Lord, the demon spirit is very dangerous, right? Can we eat it directly?"

"Don't worry, I will help."

Another person raised his hand, and after Chu Fei agreed, he said, "City Lord, we are the ones participating in the auction. But what if someone seeks external help? Maybe we are the ones participating in the auction, but the money for the auction comes from outside."

Chu Fei smiled, "Why else do you think I should give you an hour?"

Everyone:...

It felt fair at first, but what’s going on now?

Fortunately, before anyone could speak, Chu Fei spoke up: "Everyone, this is an opportunity for you. If the money from outside wants to come in, it has to go through you. Most of the people here are businessmen, don't tell me you don't know how to buy low and sell high.

In short, this is the compensation for you. But whether you can grasp it depends on you.

Moreover, the auction price will be higher, and the compensation for the deceased will be greater.

Well, there are 59 minutes left... um... never mind, let's start the auction at 13:67 sharp, which means there are minutes left."

Chu Fei's words made everyone active and they all started to get busy.

Looking at the busy figures of the crowd, Chu Fei smiled.

In fact, there is another consideration for this arrangement, which is to prevent everyone from jointly lowering the price. Although the possibility is very low, we should always be prepared for the eventuality.

There were many people at the scene, both rich and poor. If foreign players were not introduced, it would be really unfair to those who had no money.

As a city lord, Chu Fei has so much to consider.

Then Chu Fei grabbed the two demons and began to explain the characteristics of the demons and how to defend against them in the hall.

Electromagnetic field detection equipment can detect monsters. However, it must have both electromagnetic wave and electromagnetic field scanning modes to detect monsters. Ordinary low-level electromagnetic equipment is not enough.

After discovering the demon spirit, you must run away immediately and contact the masters around you. Many masters are hunting demon spirits now.

As for whether you can escape, that depends on fate.

It would be good to be able to discover the evil spirit in advance, at least I would know how I died and be a clear-headed ghost... um... wait, those who were killed by the evil spirit had their souls eaten.

While Chu Fei was explaining the demon spirit, the time quickly came to 13:.

The auction was held in the hotel, and the price quickly soared to 20 billion; only then did the big guys start bidding, and the auction entered the final stage.

At about 14 p.m., the auction ended, and the two monsters were sold for a total of about 55 billion, all of which came from funds outside the hotel. The stronger monster was sold for 29 billion, and the weaker one for 26 billion.

While eating the magic spirit, two old acquaintances of Chu Fei appeared: Zhou Xuyang and Qian Guangyuan.

The two men came in front of Chu Fei and bowed. The partners who once fought side by side were now worlds apart.

Chu Fei did not make things difficult for the two of them, and personally instructed them to swallow the magic spirits in small bites. After swallowing for a while, they would digest and absorb it well, and when it was completely digested, they could eat another bite.

Thanks to the ability of the demon spirit to be constantly resurrected, it remained fresh until it was completely devoured. During the whole process, the demon spirit struggled in Chu Fei's hands, its face distorted. Unfortunately, it couldn't escape at all.

Under Chu Fei's protection, the two of them took a full four hours to finally absorb the demon spirit. The audience around them also watched for four hours.

This kind of situation where a master assists in killing monsters is rare, especially in live broadcasts, where everyone recorded first-hand information. Then people who shot from different angles exchanged videos with each other.

This video can also be sold for a lot of money. For example, Zhou Xuyang and Qian Guangyuan paid for a copy, each spending 1 million yuan.

Chu Fei then presided over the compensation work. 55 billion, a total of 13 people to share. The compensation was mainly based on the cultivation level.

This compensation method is very mature and was completed quickly under Chu Fei's supervision.

After receiving compensation, several people applied to enter the City Lord's Mansion.

Chu Fei hesitated for a while. Those who died were all masters, and the remaining ones in the family were not very skilled and could not protect this wealth.

After thinking about it, Chu Fei could only arrange them in the Chuanliu Distribution Base - now this place has become the property of the Pharmaceutical Research Center and also the property of the Self-Help Association.

When Chu Fei finished his work and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhang Xiaobo had been waiting for a long time with the investigation results. (End of this chapter)
