metaverse evolution.

In the morning, when the sky was still a little dim, Zhang Xiaobo came to Chu Fei's office to report on his work. After entering the door, he smelled a faint and elegant fragrance.

Just smelling it, you will feel your seven orifices relax, your chest is unblocked, all the pores in your body are transparent, and you will feel refreshed and peaceful. Take another deep breath, and you will feel that the deep-rooted injuries in your body are melting away, and even the energy in your body is more active.

Then Zhang Xiaobo saw a palm-sized pure copper incense burner on Chu Fei's desk, with wisps of green smoke rising, expanding, and dissipating.

Good stuff! This is definitely good stuff! The efficacy is probably more than 12.0!
Zhang Xiaobo forgot to report his work for a moment and stared at the incense burner in a daze.

Chu Fei knocked on the table, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xiaobo woke up as if from a dream, and took the opportunity to take two deep breaths before reporting his work: "My Lord, this is the list and details of the warehouse issue that I sorted out overnight.

Due to time constraints and a large amount of missing data, we have only been able to trace the situation in the last ten years."

Chu Fei took the information and quickly looked through it. It was shocking.

It is not only about emergency warehouses, but also regular warehouses, and even military procurement, etc. Of course, it is mainly about warehousing, and military procurement is also related to warehousing.

Zhang Xiaobo was very meticulous in his work and had not crossed the line, which gave Chu Fei a clear understanding of corruption in warehousing and made him more and more satisfied with Zhang Xiaobo.

After asking for some more details, Zhang Xiaobo answered fluently, and Chu Fei was even more satisfied. "Okay, go prepare for the meeting."

Zhang Xiaobo hesitated for a moment and asked, "City Lord, where did you buy this incense? After just smelling it a few times, I felt that all my ailments were gone, and the bottleneck in my cultivation was somewhat loosened."

Glancing at Zhang Xiaobo, Chu Fei smiled and said, "I made it myself."

Zhang Xiaobo's eyes dimmed. If the city lord made it himself, the price was unknown, and he couldn't buy it or even ask for it. Or he would have to spend a much higher price.

But before Zhang Xiaobo could finish his thought, he heard Chu Fei say slowly: "Take a plate from the small compartment under the incense burner. It's a reward for you.

Burning incense is still somewhat experimental, and the medicinal properties are quite strong. For you, I recommend burning it for about one minute each time.

Each time you use it, break off a one or two centimeter length and roast it slowly over low heat.

By the way, the utilization rate of burning incense is very low, so you’d better find an air bag to collect all the fragrance.

In addition, the shelf life of burning incense may only be a few months. Burning incense cannot be stored in a vacuum, but can be pressurized and refrigerated with nitrogen, argon, etc. However, the longest storage time is not recommended to exceed one year. "

Zhang Xiaobo was shocked at first, then overjoyed. He thanked Chu Fei and carefully opened the small compartment. He saw plates of palm-sized sandalwood inside, with two rolls in each plate.

Carefully take out a plate, which is only about four or five grams in total, and wrap it carefully.

He restored the small grid to its original state, thanked Chu Fei again, and asked, "City Lord, is this the 12.0 medicine?"

"13.0." Chu Fei said in a flat voice.

However, to Zhang Xiaobo, it sounded like thunder.

How could I deserve such a reward? My first thought was to return it, but I couldn’t bear to do so.

I will probably only come into contact with 13.0 drugs once in my life.

"Okay, let's get to work."

"Yes." Zhang Xiaobo left in a daze.

Along the way, Zhang Xiaobo seemed to be walking in the clouds, and couldn't help calculating the price of burning incense in his mind.

The suggested retail price for 12.0 medicines is over billion, and the better ones can reach to billion.

The recommended price of a 13.0 potion is at least billion, and the selling price is estimated to be even higher. This plate of burning incense is probably worth billion.

Of course, Zhang Xiaobo knew that for resources after 10.0, the guiding price was really only for guidance, and the monetary system had begun to collapse after 10.0.

However, collapse does not mean it is meaningless. It can also be used as a reference yardstick - even if you barter items, you still have to estimate the value of the items.

Zhang Xiaobo had never felt so rich. But then he thought about the box of burning incense, and Director Zhang calmed down again - compared with Chu Fei, he was really a poor guy.

No wonder Chu Fei is so decisive in his work, because if he lets go of his fingers, it will be enough to cover the operating expenses of the entire City Lord’s Mansion for a year.

After returning to the conference hall, Zhang Xiaobo finally adjusted his mindset and began to arrange the meeting.

At exactly eight o'clock in the morning, Chu Fei stepped into the conference hall on time and gave orders directly - there was no discussion at all.

As a strong leader, there is no need for discussion. Just follow my instructions. Not to mention that Chu Fei was about to go to Thunder City, and he had no patience to take care of these trivial matters.

The reason why we need to deal with those corrupt people and things now is essentially to gather spiritual power, gather luck, and please the Lord of Thunder; to please the Lord of Thunder is to create opportunities to get close to him and make him less vigilant.

Picking up the sorted list brought by the deputy city lord, Chu Fei took a look at it and began to give orders according to the list.

The list Zhang Xiaobo sent was about warehousing, while the deputy city lord's list was comprehensive, including things other than warehousing.

A series of orders were issued, most of which were to arrest people, arrest entire families, and search their homes.

As for the 1500 billion in the warehouse, Chu Fei said he would give them 40 days, so they could arrest the person first...

The city lord always has some privileges. He can first capture important descendants and then release them after replenishment. Otherwise, haha!

After the order was issued, the entire City Lord's Mansion took action. Under the premise of share reform, everyone was eager to see the sky rise three feet high.

Although Chu Fei was a bit reckless, he also won over many people. Not to mention the shareholding reform, he had already said in the previous meeting that he would not hold those who surrendered accountable, not to mention the previous pharmaceutical and military subsidies, which also won over a large number of people.

Chu Fei estimated that only about one-third of them were actually executed this time. As for the peak combat power, it was only 11.0 at best.

The three major families were also a bit greedy, but they were smart and had filled the vacancies long ago.

Therefore, those who carried out the operation this time were mainly small and medium-sized families and business groups.

Medium-sized family: There are half-step 12.0 and 11.0 awakened people in charge;
Small family: There is an 11.0 awakened person in charge;
Such small and medium-sized families are still huge for most people.

Therefore, it is only natural to resist law enforcement.

In the north of the city, the Chen family is a medium-sized family on the execution list, and it is also a leader among medium-sized families. It is said that Chen Ding, the ancestor of the Chen family, is only one step away from 12.0.

To be precise, Chen Ding is already qualified to break through to become a "12.0 awakened being", but Patriarch Chen wants to break through to become a "12.0 transcendent being".

One is a semi-finished product, and the other is a complete product. If I had a choice, I would definitely choose the complete product.

There are many different opinions about Chen Ding and the Chen family, but the old man Chen has not appeared for more than ten years. Of course, no one thinks that Chen Ding is dead, as can be seen from the strong attitude of the Chen family.

If Chen Ding died, the Chen family would not be so ostentatious.

Some even believe that the Chen family ancestor may have already broken through 12.0.

In addition, the Chen family has a direct descendant, Chen Dingshan, who is the commander of the Second Army of Cangyun City. This also means that the Chen family controls part of the military power of Cangyun City.

This Chen Dingshan also went to Hongsong City in the east with the old city lord Chao Jianmin, and indirectly bullied Chu Fei.

As expected, during this forced execution, the enforcement team ran directly into the Chen family and encountered a big obstacle at the very beginning.

The deputy mayor Zhang Weiming, who led the execution, had to call on the mayor for support.

When Chu Fei arrived at the north of the city, it was already bustling with people.

Chu Fei's new city was mainly responsible for cracking down on corruption, which was very popular and attracted a lot of attention. Of course, the Chen family was the focus of everyone's attention.

There are countless small business groups, small families, and even micro business groups that have been bullied by the Chen family. Everyone has come to watch the show today.

When Chu Fei arrived at the scene, he hovered in the air and observed the situation.

At this time, the walls of the Chen family were fully equipped with guns and cannons, and the armed personnel were in an orderly and stern manner; the head of the family, Chen Xiaoxian, stood in the middle, holding a long knife in his hand, looking straight ahead, with an extremely domineering aura.

According to Chu Fei's psychic eyes, Chen Xiaoxian's cultivation has reached a level of 11.7.

In addition, the Chen family has many 11.0 masters.

This is the capital that enables the Chen family to confront the City Lord’s Mansion.

There is also an ancestor of the Chen family who has not shown up.

The leader of the City Lord's Mansion was Deputy City Lord Zhang Weiming. Zhang Weiming's cultivation level was 11.6, and he was obviously unable to fight against the power of the Chen family.

While Chu Fei was observing his surroundings, the people around him were also observing Chu Fei. When they saw Chu Fei standing in the air, the onlookers exclaimed, while the Chen family members had solemn expressions.

Flying in the air and standing in the void, this is the symbol of 12.0!
Don't leave anything to chance.

Maybe some people have mastered this ability before 12.0, but such people are more terrifying!
Chu Fei slowly descended, eventually maintaining the height of the Chen family's wall. Then, in full view of everyone, he hooked his finger at Zhang Weiming, speaking in a frivolous and disrespectful tone, "Come here, tell me the situation."

Zhang Weiming's face turned black, but he finally flew to Chu Fei helplessly.

Chu Fei stood in the air, and Zhang Weiming had to flap his wings to fly. The gap between the two sides was extremely large.

When Zhang Weiming got closer, Chu Fei said slowly, "I remember the Chen family was the first on the list. It was on the list you gave me."

Chu Fei knew Zhang Weiming's little thoughts clearly. Why Chu Fei didn't respect Zhang Weiming was all his own fault!

But Zhang Weiming was clearly prepared, "because the Chen family is indeed representative."

Chu Fei nodded, "Have you told the Chen family about the consequences of resisting law enforcement?"

"I said it! And more than once!"

Chu Fei turned to look at the Patriarch of the Chen Family: "Patriarch Chen Xiaoxian, do you want to resist the law enforcement of the City Lord's Mansion?"

Chen Xiaoxian felt a little bitter, but he had to hold on at this moment: "City Lord Chu, you can always find a pretext to accuse me. My Chen family has done the right thing and contributed to Cangyun City for decades. Even if we have no merits, we have worked hard. City Lord Chu, please forgive me for not being able to accept this."

Chu Fei laughed, a little arrogantly, "Since you have no merit, then don't just stand there and do nothing!
Moreover, the reason I dared to come here today is of course because I have evidence of the Chen family’s corruption.

Whether you accept it or not is your business. How to deal with the Chen family is my business!
Come here, let's read to everyone the Chen family's hard work over the years."

Zhang Xiaobo flew over, unfolded the list directly, encouraged the cultivation of 10.2, and read it aloud. The mighty voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"On February 2 this year, the Chen family supplied the army with 4 artillery shells at a price of 12 billion. After verification, it was found that the Chen family purchased the shells from other business groups at a price of 4600 million yuan. Only 1.2 of the shells were qualified.

The relevant business group has already reported it under real name and it has been verified to be correct.

On February 2 this year, Chen Jiahao and the former director of the emergency warehouse resold supplies in the emergency warehouse. The first batch was medicines worth 12 billion yuan, and the second batch was low-grade medicines worth 18 billion yuan.

Because of the price reduction, the final profit was 24 billion yuan, and the Chen family took 17 billion yuan alone.

Due to uneven distribution of the spoils, the relevant personnel reported it under their real names, and the report was confirmed to be true.

On March 3 this year, the bandit group controlled by the Chen family plundered the Jiangmao Merchant Group and made a profit of 11 billion. They then sold the plundered merchant group members as slaves, and more than a dozen women in the merchant group were raped to death. On March 16, the Chen family aggressively acquired the Jiangmao Merchant Group.

We have arrested the bandit gang. There are even recordings and videos within the gang. The head of the Chen family, Chen Xiaoxian, appears in the video.

This year……"

He talked about one investigation after another, from this year to last year, and the year before last, and talked about more than fifty things in one breath.

Don't doubt the ability of the City Lord's Mansion, it's just that it has not been used in the past.

Someone at the scene has already logged into the City Lord's Mansion's network and can see a more detailed investigation report.

As the reports were read out one by one, the audience was first shocked, then angry, and then silent. Some people cried and even knelt down in front of Chu Fei, demanding severe punishment for the Chen family.

Some people even rushed out to the scene and told the story of the Chen family's crimes.

After half an hour, Chu Fei waved his hand, telling Zhang Xiaobo not to read any more. Lang Sheng said, "The affairs of the Chen family are too numerous to be described in words. This is the first time I know that "too numerous to be described in words" is not an adjective, but a true description."

Taking a deep breath, looking at the Patriarch of the Chen Family, Chu Fei said coldly: "Patriarch Chen, what else do you have to say about these 'hard work'?"

However, Chen Xiaoxian’s face was livid, but he held his head high and confronted forcefully: “City Lord Chu, no matter how bad the Chen family is, it still maintains the prosperity of Cangyun City. Do you think the other families are doing well?
Haha, what our Chen family does are what’s left over from the three major families.

Since City Lord Chu wanted to seek justice for Cangyun City, why didn't he go to the three major families? !
Do you think the Chen family is easy to control?"

"Yes, that's what I think!" Chu Fei sneered, "As for the situation of the three major families, it will be announced on the Internet tomorrow. But you guys now..."

Chu Fei took a deep breath again and said word by word: "Anyone who resists the City Lord's Mansion's law enforcement and does not obey the warning will be executed immediately!"

"Wait!" A roar exploded, and then a majestic figure was seen behind the Chen family rushing into the sky.

"12.0!" Chu Fei narrowed his eyes, a little surprised, but not that surprised.

There must be a reason why the Chen family has been so arrogant recently, so Chu Fei had guessed it a long time ago. Now all he can say is that the reason has been revealed.

A majestic figure appeared above Chenjia City, standing in the air, even much higher than Chu Fei's current height.

When this figure appeared, there was an exclamation of surprise all around.

"It's Chen Ding!"

"This old fox is actually 12.0!"

"No wonder the Chen family has been so flamboyant recently."

"It's bad. The City Lord's Mansion may not be able to control the Chen family. Is there going to be a fourth family appearing?"

"In fact, the three major families are not so bad. Although they are a bit powerful, they really don't care about those small profits and are more careful about their reputation. On the contrary, the Chen family has done the worst."

"In order to impact the Fourth Family, they will do anything possible."

"Maybe we should collect resources for Chen Ding. If we want to train a 12.0 expert, the resources consumed will probably be an astronomical figure."

"That's understandable. But the Chen family is too unscrupulous."

...

The people were talking about it, and Chu Fei could hear it clearly. Chu Fei raised his legs and "walked" forward. There seemed to be stairs in the air. Chu Fei climbed up step by step and walked to more than 30 meters in front of Chen Ding, the same height as Chen Ding.

In front of Chen Ding, Chu Fei said coldly: "Chen Ding, I told the deputy city lord before that I am not here to play chess, I am here to overturn the table!
It is said that political power comes from the barrel of a gun. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times.

Things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything.

Come on, let's have a fight. If you win, the Chen family will become the fourth family. If you lose, the Chen family will be nailed to the pillar of shame!"

"Okay!" Chen Ding roared in a low voice, suddenly drew out his long sword, and his figure accelerated suddenly, rushing towards Chu Fei.

Chu Fei's figure was blurry. It was his first actual battle against a level 12.0 master, so Chu Fei was very cautious and also wanted to practice.

Chu Fei did not underestimate Chen Ding, but he did not take him seriously either. He had fought against a 12.4 mirror image in the virtual mirror space, but that was before the breakthrough.

Judging from Chen Ding's aura, his cultivation level is probably at most 12.2, and his foundation has been consolidated.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chu Fei raised his hand and froze his true essence field.

After the breakthrough, Chu Fei’s current true energy field has reached a radius of 30 meters!
In other words, Chen Ding is already in Chu Fei's territory.

The moment the field froze, Chu Fei felt Chen Ding's weakness and his own strength. At that moment, Chen Ding was completely stagnant.

However, Chu Fei immediately unfrozen it - he had finally come across a "toy" and couldn't break it so easily.

Such a thought even popped up in Chu Fei's mind: Chu Fei, you have no idea how powerful you are!
No, it should be said that they have no idea about the level of insufficiency among ordinary practitioners.

While thinking, Chu Fei's face turned red, as if he could not bear the burden, which gave Chen Ding an illusion.

Sure enough, Chen Ding was shocked by the freezing method at first, but after seeing Chu Fei's performance, he regained his confidence. His figure split into three figures, two in front and one behind, rushing towards Chu Fei.

At this moment, lightning appeared in Chen Ding's hands.

"Crack..."

Lightning flashed, and six lightning bolts struck Chu Fei's head. The lightning was so fast that Chu Fei couldn't react at all.

But there was no need to dodge, because the "palm thunder" sent by Chen Ding could not even penetrate Chu Fei's defense.

Chu Fei understood. This was the rule he mastered after breaking through 12.0. This seemed to be the Spring Thunder Technique. Judging from the attack just now, the voltage of the palm thunder was about 10 volts.

This voltage is indeed good, but for practitioners of 10.0, it is a bit useless.

"No wonder we didn't encounter this kind of attack in the mirror space."

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chu Fei's figure shook and he easily avoided Chen Ding's attack.

This clone technique seemed to be a ghost-like technique, and Chu Fei knew it too well. Even if Chen Ding changed some algorithms, the big picture remained the same and it still couldn't escape Chu Fei's eyes.

Chu Fei kept dodging and retreating; Chen Ding attacked frantically and kept moving forward.

The audience on the ground let out exclamations, while the people on the Chen family’s wall let out cheers.

But these people did not notice Chen Ding’s expression - solemn!
In less than a minute, Chen Ding attacked dozens of times, using all kinds of fighting skills and even his best tricks, but he could not do anything to Chu Fei.

After fighting for a while, Chen Ding even discovered that Chu Fei's reaction speed seemed to be faster than his own; the evidence was: every time he launched an attack, before the attack landed, Chu Fei had already managed to dodge it.

Outsiders cannot see this subtle gap. Only the person involved knows it best and feels the most frustrated. Also, fear!

Chu Fei's occasional counterattack would make Chen Ding panic.

"Roar..." Chen Ding suddenly roared, the energy in his body surged, and a faint shadow of flames appeared above his head. His movements then accelerated, and streaks of sword energy spread out for more than ten meters. Terrifying thunder erupted in the air.

There were also terrifying lightning bolts spreading all around. The lightning was boosted to a voltage of one million volts, which pierced through the air, synthesizing oxygen into ozone, causing a burnt smell to appear in the air.

However, Chu Fei continued to walk leisurely in the garden. Although he kept retreating, he was unharmed.

At this time, even ordinary people could see clearly that Chu Fei clearly had the upper hand, as if he was playing with a monkey or walking a dog.

However, Chu Fei was not playing tricks on Chen Ding. Instead, he was constantly evaluating Chen Ding's combat capabilities and gaining experience.

Based on continuous collisions and tests, we made a rough estimate of Chen Ding's situation.

The range of Chen Ding's protective qi is about 10 meters; the reason why it is so "low" is that Chen Ding's energy is not "continuous" enough.

In other words, the life energy in Chen Ding's body is still "true qi" and has not evolved into "true essence"!
The standard for breaking through 12.0 is that the physical fitness reaches 50 calories, but it does not say "the true essence reaches 50 calories". In other words, the true essence and true qi have little effect.

Chu Fei was able to understand what true essence and continuity were because of Wu Yong's advice. Obviously, Wu Yong's knowledge level far exceeded that of these "natives"!
Ren Qingyun knew that "the purity of true qi exceeds 100%", which is better than all the practitioners here.

In fact, ordinary practitioners should pursue continuous true qi, or true essence, after reaching level 12.0.

But Chen Ding is a 12.0 master after all, and the quality of his true qi is already very close to true essence.

But approaching the true essence is still not the true essence after all, it is still the true qi, and the true qi is discontinuous, so the controllability is much lower. The direct impact is that the range of Chen Ding's "true qi field" is only 10 meters in radius.

You know, Chu Fei now has a radius of thirty meters.

The volume difference between 10 meters and 30 meters is 27 times!
This also means that Chu Fei's control over energy far exceeds that of Chen Ding.

The lack of continuity of true Qi also leads to insufficient attack burst and weak penetration.

Chu Fei couldn't help but sigh again: As expected, I knew nothing about the water filling situation of ordinary practitioners; now I finally know a lot.

While thinking, Chu Fei had collected enough data. Seeing that Chen Ding's fear had reached its peak, Chu Fei finally took action.

The True Essence Field froze again. Chen Ding, who was attacking frantically, instantly turned into "amber".

Chu Fei raised his hand slightly, a slight clanging sound was heard, and a shining "flying sword" appeared.

Chen Ding roared and struggled, his figure moving slowly. The frozen void around him seemed unable to bear the weight, and there was a crackling sound of ice cracking.

However, it was too late.

Chu Fei put his right index finger and middle finger together as a sword finger, pointing at Chen Ding.

Then, the sword energy was like a rainbow, and the cold sword light instantly pierced through Chen Ding's eyebrows. During the whole process, Chen Ding's defense was like paper.

Whether it is the protective qi, the special steel plate built into the brain, or the special means, they are all useless in front of the "flying sword".

This scene shocked everyone.

After a few seconds, cheers suddenly broke out.

"Good kill!"

"This old thief is finally dead! He deserves it. He actually dared to provoke the city lord. It really is the death of the old man."

"The city lord is so strong. Is he really less than 18 years old this year?"

"Look at the people from the Chen family. Their faces are so interesting."

"You deserve it, you deserve it!"

...

Amid the commotion, Chu Fei grabbed Chen Ding's body and walked towards the Chen family's wall step by step.

The head of the family, Chen Xiaoxian, had a change of expression on his face for a moment, then he started running, spreading a pair of eagle wings behind him, ready to soar into the sky.

Chen Xiaoxian ran very fast and decisively. Everyone in the Chen family was stunned. They didn't expect the head of the family to be like this. You are the head of the family, what are you doing!
Chu Fei was not in a hurry. He just snapped his fingers in the air and the curse was activated.

Then Chen Xiaoxian was seen swaying and falling down; but after falling a few meters, he came to his senses and continued to run.

Chu Fei sneered and increased his speed slightly, but remained calm and unhurried.

During this period, Chen Xiaoxian struggled many times to escape, but was interrupted by Chu Fei's curse.

As Chen Xiaoxian struggled, the way the Chen family members looked at him gradually changed.

Chu Fei noticed these changes, but he smiled even happier. This was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to completely crush the Chen family's spirit, so that it would be easier for him to do the following operations.

Since we want to kill a chicken to scare the monkey, we should kill this chicken carefully and set an example. As we all know, the power of example is infinite.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chu Fei flew through the air and came to Chen Xiaoxian step by step. In the look of fear in Chen Xiaoxian's eyes, he instantly froze the surroundings, then grabbed Chen Xiaoxian's neck and directly sealed Chen Xiaoxian's mouth to prevent noise pollution.

Then Chu Fei walked back to the deputy city lord and the people in the city lord's mansion, and ordered the deputy city lord Zhang Weiming: "Search the house! Be careful to collect evidence. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy.

But please note that not all members of the Chen family are bad people. If there are those who are willing to surrender and serve as witnesses, you can be gentler. "

Chu Fei spoke loudly, not only to the people in the City Lord's Mansion, but also to the people in the Chen family - everyone, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, it's time to think about yourself. (End of this chapter)
