Chapter 766: The Journey
This time Chu Fei left very easily, even in a casual manner.
The crisis of the mother nest was resolved, the crisis of the Celestial Dragons was resolved, friends were taken care of, and cultivation reached the limit. Everything was so perfect.
Compared to the previous times of running away, this time was the most comfortable.
On the land, two huge land cities were moving towards the east, while Chu Fei and Wu Yong were driving two large motorcycles, rushing towards the west.
There was a small cloth bag hanging on Chu Fei's motorcycle, which contained more than a dozen "pills".
Chu Fei first saw the elixir at the trade fair in front of the Red Pine City Pharmacy Trading Center, but he wanted to buy it but failed. Now, after going through so many twists and turns, Chu Fei finally got it, and he didn't spend a penny.
Speaking of which, in the environment that Chu Fei is currently in contact with, everyone prefers to use medicines because they have good effects, mature technology, large quantities, and relatively cheap prices.
In addition, there are very few aerosol and solid sol drugs.
Aerosols dissipate easily, have low utilization effects, are difficult to preserve, are expensive, difficult to make, and have a small market; naturally they declined.
The solid sols are commonly known as elixirs, and the lower-level ones may be called Chinese patent medicines.
The elixirs here are not as magical as those in the works of cultivation. Chu Fei has never seen them. Maybe there will be changes after 12.0.
The effects of the pills here are not as good as those of medicines. Under the premise of the same cost, the efficacy of the pills is generally only 70% to 80% of that of the medicines, and the effects are slow after taking them. But the pills also have an advantage, they can be stored for a long time.
As for medicines, under natural conditions, it is difficult for them to be preserved for more than one year, and most of the time they are preserved is three months to six months. If you want to preserve them for a long time, the cost will be high, so it is better to buy new medicines.
But if the elixir is well preserved, it can be kept for five to six years or even more than ten years, and the storage cost is very low.
Moreover, compared to medicines, pills are easy to package and store, just wax pills or plastic shells; while medicines must be packaged in special glass bottles, and glass bottles are not very portable.
Many chemicals are slightly corrosive to plastics, etc., which can eventually lead to chemical contamination. Even glass bottles must be made of borosilicate glass, quartz glass, etc.
In the apocalypse, industrial production capacity itself is problematic, and the cost of producing special glass is too high.
To sum up, when traveling inland, perhaps elixirs can be used as currency. They have a long shelf life and are easy to carry and store, so they have the basis for hard currency.
After thinking for a while, Chu Fei took out a pill and put it in his mouth, carefully feeling the condition of the pill.
These pills are low-level pills refined by Chu Fei for practice. Even if the low-level pills are poisonous, they have no effect on Chu Fei.
The large locomotive roared as it rolled over the rugged mountains and fields. The five-meter-long locomotive was like a small battle fortress.
For long-distance travel, you have to use a motorcycle. Airplanes are not good. Without logistical supplies, airplanes are fragile and difficult to dock. The fighter jets used for patrols can hover, but they require higher logistical supplies.
The most important thing is that airplanes and the like are too ostentatious!
On the rest of the journey, Chu Fei had to put away his fangs, hide his claws, and suppress his cultivation to the primary level of 10.0.
This level of cultivation is considered the backbone in the inland. It is not high enough, but no one will bully him.
Those who can cultivate to 10.0 are already considered the best among men. Who knows if such a person will suddenly explode and come back to destroy your entire family.
Even if it doesn't break out, a 10.0 who deliberately does bad things and secretly kills an entire family can cause a huge disaster.
But in the inland areas, the rules are more complete. Generally speaking, high-level practitioners are not allowed to hunt low-level practitioners or even ordinary people at will. But revenge is another matter.
However, not being able to hunt does not mean that you cannot humiliate. After all, a master is a master. Humiliating a low-level practitioner or an ordinary person is despicable in principle, but many people do it.
No matter what, practice is the most important thing. And 10.0 is a good level.
But in addition to practicing, people also need the ability to make a living.
In terms of livelihood ability, Chu Fei will become a "relatively good level 10.0" pharmacist who can refine some potions, but the quality is not very good. However, some unconventional potions can be very good - this is the plan, and the specific situation will be analyzed.
After confirming that there was no problem with the identity arrangement, Chu Fei began to think about his main wealth.
If you want to live comfortably in the last days, wealth is a must. Wealth here refers to wealth in a broad sense, including but not limited to direct wealth and indirect wealth.
Chu Fei's current wealth includes:
1. The power of the mind has exceeded 50. It has not developed much recently. Its reputation has reached its peak, and there is a reality problem that people have left and the tea has been forgotten.
2 Dewdrops of Wisdom, breaking through 20. I have gained quite a lot of knowledge recently, both from the two continental cities and from Shangguan Qinghong. It is very complicated.
3 captured ghosts: 26 remaining;
4 Captured demons: 112 remaining; I have been practicing and consolidating my foundation recently, and have eaten some demons and ghosts;
5身上的药材:11.0的鹰之花剩余11株成熟的和20株不成熟的,10.0的龙胆果还剩下上千颗,其中特别优秀的紫色龙胆果还有80颗;10.0的龙涎草还有一千多株;这些药材都是从天龙秘境得到的,还有很多陌生的药材没有好好研究呢;
Dragon fruit and ambergris can be used to refine the enlightenment potion; now Chu Fei already knows that it is extremely valuable to feel the remaining charm of Tianlong. Although the enlightenment potion is 10.0, it can be used to cultivate offspring, so the price is high; as we all know, children's money is the easiest to make.
此外还有最近从外界得到的高级药材,如13.0的日月同辉并蒂莲7组、11.0的月华草27株(初级养神药剂主药)、12.0的月灵草4株(中级养神药剂主药)、11.0的紫阳草200克(10.0紫阳固本药剂主药、12.0升魂药剂主药)、12.0紫龙骨3根(紫色霜华毒药的主药),还有大量的药材;所有药材加起来总价值怕是得几千亿。
There are also a large number of medicinal materials such as the 13.0 Heroic Flower traded with the Tiger Tribe.
Top-quality medicinal materials are not cheap. Often it is not a question of price, but whether you can buy them!
There are also spiritual essence fruits cultivated by Chu Fei himself. He has harvested hundreds of them and is still cultivating them.
Lingyuan Fruit is a 12.0 medicinal herb, and it feels like its level can be improved with cultivation.
A 12.0 medicinal material that can be produced continuously, its value is immeasurable.
It should be said that these medicinal herbs are the reason why Chu Fei dared to enter the inland.
Of course, in addition to medicinal materials, we also need medicine refining equipment, etc., which needs no further explanation.
6 Equipment: Four small servers with 4000 KB computing power, two cold nuclear fusion devices, two life energy conversion devices, and two atomic printers, all of which are the goose that lays golden eggs;
7. Extra-dimensional Metals: After a crazy search, Chu Fei collected a total of two tons of black iron, 1.2 tons of red copper, about 500 kilograms of mithril, and about 120 kilograms of refined gold.
This was the proceeds from the looting of the two continental cities. A lot of black iron and red copper were consumed because of the large number of magic weapons cast, but almost no refined gold and secret silver were consumed, all of which were in Chu Fei's pocket.
It's not that Chu Fei is greedy, it's just that there's no point in keeping it. It's better to take it away. Besides, a considerable part of the refined gold and secret silver comes from the tiger tribe.
8. Various crystal cores, energy crystals, etc., especially the complete crystal cores obtained from the tiger tribe, even including a 13.0 tiger crystal core; these are real hard currencies, and Chu Fei is a little reluctant to use them.
9 There were also some other treasures, such as dozens of space capsules - many of them were given to Ren Qingyun, as there were simply too many to take with him.
After so many battles, Chu Fei had a lot of spoils on him. Some of them were given to Qinghong Lucheng, some were given to the Pharmaceutical Research Center, and a considerable part was given to the Self-Help Association - temporarily kept with Qin Shuya.
No matter what, I have received so much spiritual strength from the Self-Help Association, and I have to give something back.
According to a rough estimate, Chu Fei's wealth is truly enough to rival a country.
After thinking about wealth, Chu Fei began to think about cultivation.
The secondary brain is responsible for driving the motorcycle, and the main cosmic brain is responsible for practicing, and the whole process is non-stop.
While they were thinking, the motorcycle had passed Cangyun City, but Chu Fei and Wu Yong did not stop at all and continued to move forward. They arrived at Yumen City in the evening and also did not stop and continued to run wildly.
By the afternoon of the next day, they had traveled more than 2,000 kilometers and arrived at the westernmost high wall of Lieyanlu City, which was also a checkpoint: Liangshan Pass.
At this time, the appearance of the locomotive could no longer be recognized. The fender was covered with a thick layer of broken plant juice, soil, etc., and even some broken feathers could be seen.
On a hilltop, Chu Fei and Wu Yong looked out over Liangshan Pass.
Chu Fei's mind was in turmoil.
Liangshan Pass is a mountain city, a checkpoint in itself, but also an important hunting base.
From Qinghong Lucheng (Lieyan Lucheng) - Liangshan Pass to Molong Lucheng - Langya City, there is a mountainous area with many alien species, and people often "guide" the alien species to come here.
Through the information provided by Shangguan Qinghong, Chu Fei has understood the fundamental reasons and rules for the arrival of alien species.
Whenever the soul breath (negative entropy breath) of people in a region is sufficient, a "positioning" can be formed. From the perspective of the higher-dimensional world, it is like a lighthouse.
There are two ways to form enough soul aura: one is to gather a large number of ordinary people, and the other is to gather enough masters. The soul aura of a master may be equivalent to the souls of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of ordinary people.
The total amount of souls of a master may not be that much, but the quality is very high.
Once the soul is positioned, the alien can find the "navigation coordinates" from the inner world and then project the alien to the planet in the surface world.
If you want to avoid the arrival of alien species, there are two ways. One is to keep moving, which is Lucheng. If a coordinate keeps moving, it will not have navigation ability.
According to experience, it takes at least half an hour for an alien species to descend once; if the coordinates move more than a certain distance during the descent, it will lead to positioning failure, and half of the descending alien species may be swept away by the turbulence of space and time.
Therefore, as long as Lucheng keeps moving, the alien species generally will not descend; even if they are forced to descend, the possibility of success is very low.
Looking at the low-dimensional world from the high-dimensional world is not so clear. Without positioning, it is like sailing in the fog and not being able to find the exit. If you land under the ground, you will be buried alive. Or if you don't reach the low-dimensional world, you will disappear in the turbulence of time and space.
Another method is to conceal it, using the energy of the earth and other means to interfere, making the soul's breath obscure and impossible to locate.
However, there will be loopholes at the edge of the shield, so alien species will also descend to the edge areas.
At the same time, humans will also use this feature to actively form coordinates at the edge to guide the alien species to come. At this time, this place has been surrounded by artillery, and the alien species will be sent to eat after they come.
But the aliens are not stupid, they also have ways to deal with them, and they will descend randomly based on the coordinates.
As long as the coordinates do not change, this random descent is still very safe. Moreover, alien species do not descend at all coordinates. Sometimes, even if the coordinates are expanded, there may not be alien species descending.
In addition, the War God Temple is not doing nothing. It can turn a blind eye to a few alien species and just let them go, as if they were sending resources to the surface world. But if there were a large number of alien species that could cause a disaster, they might take action to intercept all or part of them. It depends on the specific situation.
The area between Liangshan Pass and Langya City is a place that is very familiar to both humans and alien species.
The mountains are high and the forests are dense, the positioning is stable, and the survival rate of alien species is high, so alien species often descend here.
The purpose of the arrival of alien species is certainly not to deliver food. In addition to interfering with humans, they also want to devour human souls and complete evolution.
When the next wave of alien species arrives, the previous wave of alien species will be taken back, but only their souls will be taken back.
The human soul is the most special. Humans are born with intelligence. So when aliens devour human souls, their intelligence will be enhanced. After the soul returns, it will be reincarnated.
Chu Fei had seen this kind of reincarnation in the magic spirits and the mother tree of life in the underground secret realm of Feihu City. After the death of the magic spirit, it would be absorbed by the mother tree of life and re-nurturing to give birth to a stronger and smarter magic spirit.
However, the arrival of alien species can also bring the laws of the inner world to the surface world and bring a large number of treasures, so the Temple of War God turns a blind eye to the arrival of alien species.
The two parties completed a certain transaction invisibly.
Looking at Liangshan Pass in front of him, Chu Fei had this information flashing through his mind, but he could only sigh. In such a world order, individuals can only go with the flow.
After watching for a while, Chu Fei and Wu Yong put away their motorcycles and walked forward.
Walking out of the mountains, Chu Fei and Wu Yong successfully blended into the crowd coming in and out.
Chu Fei and Wu Yong were both exhausted at this time. Chu Fei changed his appearance again and became the Zhang Bing he once was. Although Wu Yong couldn't change his appearance, he just needed to put on some makeup.
Compared to Chu Fei who is often in the spotlight and has a great reputation, Wu Yong usually stays at home and outsiders rarely know what Wu Yong looks like.
Now that there is no household registration, the two of them put on a little makeup and disappeared in the crowd.
As for the name, it’s even simpler, just use a code name.
Chu Fei's code name is "Pharmacist" and Wu Yong's code name is "Nameless".
When entering the city, Chu Fei and Wu Yong each paid 10 yuan for the city entrance tax. The 190 yuan city entrance tax was not low. According to the standard of computing power currency, a healthy ordinary person was worth yuan.
But there are basically no ordinary people who can come to Liangshan Pass.
After successfully entering the city, Chu Fei took out some information and began looking for a place to stay.
This information was obtained from Chen Yilong. As for where Chen Yilong got it from, Chu Fei didn't care.
Liangshan Pass is not big, that is compared with the large high walls of Cangyun City. For individuals, it is still very large, with a permanent population of more than 200,000.
After looking at the information, Chu Fei waved to the motorcycle in the distance, "Two people, go to the Adventure Hall."
Immediately, two dilapidated motorcycles rushed over.
"How much?" Chu Fei asked domineeringly, with the aura of 10.0 floating secretly.
The two motorcyclists were just ordinary people trying to make a living. The first one immediately said, "Twenty each."
Chu Fei took out a hundred-dollar bill and said, "No need to change. It's not a mercenary guild or a mercenary home, it's an adventure hall."
"Okay, please take your seats, gentlemen."
The locomotive roared and made a rattling sound as it passed through a series of winding roads that were well-planned and in compliance with military regulations, and arrived at a semi-old two-story building.
There was a crooked wooden sign hanging in front of the small building. The words on it were a little blurred due to erosion by wind and rain, and only a few large characters written in paint could be barely seen: Adventure Hall.
There weren't many people here, but there wasn't a single weakling coming in and out. Looking around, all those serving tea and water were 8.0 awakened ones.
The motorcycle brought Chu Fei and Wu Yong here and ran away quickly.
Chu Fei looked at the adventure hall in front of him, smiled confidently, and walked forward with his head held high.
There are many similar "agents" in Liangshan Pass. The Adventure Hall is an agent that is completely aimed at the strong, and is an agent for individuals and small adventure groups.
This is a good place for individuals with a cultivation level of 8.0 or above and small teams to take on quests.
In comparison, the Mercenary Guild and the Mercenary House were particularly chaotic.
Of course, this so-called adventure hall is also chaotic, but not as chaotic as that.
As soon as Chu Fei and Wu Yong entered the hall, they attracted the attention of more than a dozen pairs of eyes.
Chu Fei looked around and instantly understood the situation in the hall.
There is a window for posting tasks and a window for receiving tasks. The tasks are slowly scrolling on the large screen in the center.
All tasks are divided into 10 star levels according to their danger level, value, etc., with level one being the lowest and level ten being the highest. Each star level has a reference price and an actual price for the task.
Some tasks show that no one has accepted them, while some tasks have been accepted by several people or teams.
There are several missions that require entering inland.
The tasks here include seeking further education, curing diseases, purchasing certain items, building relationships, etc. These tasks are actually accepted.
After looking around, Chu Fei came to the task posting window and registered first. Chu Fei registered as "pharmacist" and Wu Yong registered as "unknown".
The staff member in charge of registration muttered, "This is the first person called Pharmacist or Nameless?"
Chu Fei rolled his eyes. It seemed that this code name was a bit too common. But this was the effect he wanted. He had to blend in with the crowd so that he would not stand out and could better integrate into the local environment.
After registering, Chu Fei carefully studied the rules here and then issued two tasks:
The first one is to refine medicine on behalf of others. This task is not dangerous, but the cost is relatively high. According to the price, it is rated as a 6-star task.
Task Overview: For potions with a value of 10.0 or less, we promise to compensate according to the original price of the medicinal materials if the refining fails; we can refine potions with a value of 11.0 with a success rate of over 80%. Details will be discussed in person.
Second, hire an elite adventure group, danger level: 7 stars:
In half a year, (Chu Fei and Wu Yong) are going to the inland "Lingyun Empty City". We need a 12.0 adventure team. If you are interested, please contact us. Temporary offer: 11.0 bottles of 50 potions, currently including four types: primary nourishing spirit potion, advanced resurrection potion, advanced Ziyang strengthening potion, and soul-raising potion (incomplete version) (please consult the task window for detailed information on the potions).
As soon as the news was released, it immediately caused a sensation.
Chu Fei looked at everyone's excitement and smiled. These two tasks were carefully arranged.
It was only recently that Chu Fei finally found out where Wu Yong came from - the territory ruled by Lingyun Kongcheng.
Lingyun Sky City is a "sky city" and the territory under its rule is the center of this continent. In fact, there are also several land cities under Lingyun Sky City's control; however, the scope of activities and control of these land cities is very small, unlike Thunder Land City and Fiery Land City, which rule over hundreds of millions of people.
The straight-line distance from the current location to Lingyun Empty City is more than 5,000 kilometers. The actual distance must be longer. A long distance is naturally dangerous. Therefore, it is rated as a seven-star mission.
However, after discussion, Chu Fei and Wu Yong decided that it would be better to have a team to rely on. One of the important considerations was to arrive inland with fame.
If the two of them hurriedly arrived inland and wanted to build a reputation from scratch, it would actually be difficult and would easily arouse suspicion - especially since Wu Yong's identity seemed to have many hidden dangers.
But if we build a reputation now, and then as the adventure group moves into the inland, we will naturally establish a brand, and the results will be better.
After all, there has been such a concept since ancient times: foreign monks are better at chanting sutras. There is also a curiosity mentality, people are always full of curiosity about new things.
Hence, this mission came into being.
Chu Fei also spent a lot of brain cells designing the two tasks. The two tasks complement each other. The first task is to refine the medicine, and the second task is to use the medicine to pay the price.
The first task paves the way for the second task, showing that you have the ability to pay; the second task proves the first task, proving that you can refine 11.0 potions!
While Chu Fei was thinking, someone rushed up to him and asked him about the medicine.
Chu Fei smiled, turned to the staff at the window and said, "Can you help me arrange a seat so we can sit down and talk in detail?"
"Of course, Master. Please wait a moment." The staff member was very respectful, as he was a master of alchemy.
The staff got busy and soon set up a simple Q&A session. They also prepared tea for Chu Fei. (End of this chapter)
