metaverse evolution.

While Chu Fei and others were moving forward, the Seven Star Academic Group in the inland was holding a meeting. The atmosphere was somewhat tense and depressing.

Three things were shown on the big screen.

First, the snatch of the Star Battle Suit failed. Three parties were fighting for the Star Battle Suit, but suddenly a fourth party rushed out and launched a sneak attack. Cui Yanfang, who was running away with the Star Battle Suit, was also injured and almost died after being attacked by the fourth party.

Secondly, the pharmaceutical market was in chaos and martial arts suddenly became cheap, which led to the awakening of a large number of "cannon fodder" secretly gathered by the Seven Star Academic Group. Not only did they run away, but some even turned against their employers, and the plans of the past decade or so went down the drain.

Third, the assassination was too crazy. I don't know how many potions Chu Fei left in the black market. Now the awakened people of 8.0~10.0 in the Seven Stars Academic Group dare not go out. The assassins were very calm and focused on hunting in this area. The whole Seven Stars Academic Group was in a panic.

In the conference room, no one spoke, and everyone stared at the content on the big screen in fascination.

The Seven Star Academic Group, one of the three major university factions in the inland, has never been so embarrassed.

In silence, everyone gradually focused their attention on Cui Yanfang.

At this time, Cui Yanfang's face was pale, and the body below the shoulders had been changed into colonial clothes!

However, for 14.0 masters, this is more of a crutch than a colony. No colony technology can meet the needs of 14.0.

Generally speaking, the colonial suit is mainly for levels below 10.0. After 10.0, the colonial suit can only be used as an auxiliary, such as adding a third electronic eye. It can also be disassembled in the later stage, that is, it can be used as a temporary colonial suit.

For Cui Yanfang, a 14.0 master, this set of colonization suit is only for temporary use. She will be able to recover her entire body very quickly. This is the strength of a 14.0 master. Moreover, the school has rich resources and powerful technology, and stem cells are already being cultivated.

But at the moment, under so many gazes, Cui Yanfang still felt ashamed. But in the end, she still spoke:

"I seized the opportunity and ran more than 500 kilometers in one breath. But because of the serious injuries, I had to stop and rest.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over.

In an emergency, I had to activate Starburst, burning my body in exchange for a moment of powerful combat power.

The opponent was well prepared and seemed to have used similar methods, severely injuring me with one move. Coupled with the aftereffects of the starburst, my shoulder and body collapsed all of a sudden.

The other party was about to kill me, but fortunately (Cui) Rongwu arrived in time and scared the other party away. But he also took away my storage capsule, which contained the Star Battle Suit and a large amount of resources.

The opponent was also seriously injured by my outburst, so he can't run far. But we need to find him as soon as possible. I don't need to say much about the recovery speed of a 14.0 expert. "

At this time, the picture on the big screen switched, showing the scene when Cui Yanfang was seriously injured: an area of ​​three kilometers was razed to the ground, and a meteorite crater appeared on the ground.

Someone immediately asked, "Is this sneak attacker from a cult?"

Cui Yanfang shook her head: "I didn't feel any special aura."

Cui Renchang, the chairman of the Seven Stars Academic Group and the head of the Cui family, spoke up: "The one who dares to do this and cause such destructive power must be a master of the 14.0 Heavenly Man Realm.

Considering that the 14.0 realm requires a lot of resources, it is impossible to hide. This sneak attack guy might be someone we know, and it is very likely that he is not from one of our three major academic groups. Such people can be counted on one's fingers.

Next, pay close attention to those forces with 14.0 in charge. They will definitely show their true colors. Once the target is identified, even if there is only a % chance, go straight to the door. "

Everyone nodded. The Lieutenant General-level Star Battle Suit must not be given up. This is the second Lieutenant General-level Star Battle Suit in so many years. This is a weapon that can change the current world situation.

Then everyone talked about the pharmaceutical market. There was nothing they could do about it. They could only follow the trend of the times. There was really nothing they could do about Chu Fei's conspiracy, which did not make him any money.

Finally, there is the issue of assassination.

Coincidentally, the last two questions are both related to Chu Fei.

Speaking of Chu Fei, Cui Yanfang said, "I think we should be patient for a while. Chu Fei is probably dead, and he can't have left too many potions.

In addition, try to put pressure on the black market and cancel as many bounties as possible.

I don’t believe that the potions left by Chu Fei are endless.”

The head of the family, Cui Renchang, shook his head, with suppressed anger on his face: "We are already exerting pressure, but the other two academic groups are exerting pressure in the opposite direction, and even increasing the reward for the potion.

I'm afraid that 90% of the bounties on our medicines now come from the other two academic groups, and we can't rule out some scattered bounties."

Cui Yanfang was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then she flew into a rage, "Then we will also offer a reward."

Cui Renchang nodded, and then his face became a little ferocious, and his voice was cold and stern: "This is the only way. Tooth for tooth, blood for blood! Since the inland is in chaos, let's keep it in chaos. Now, it's not chaotic enough."

…………

"Flying General City." Chu Fei looked at the map and asked, "Why is the name of this high wall so unique?"

Xing Yunfei said, "It is said that more than 500 years ago, before the establishment of Feijiangjun City, a group of flying beasts were rampant here. The range of flying beasts is very large, and the people suffered greatly from them.

Later, a hero appeared and led everyone to steal a group of flying beast cubs and train them. Thirty years later, they wiped out all the flying beasts in one fell swoop, but the hero was seriously injured and died.

The hero's descendants, comrades-in-arms and the general public established a temporary base at the battle site in order to commemorate the hero and also to exploit resources.

Later, underground energy channel nodes were discovered here, and the temporary station was expanded little by little, and eventually became a high wall located on a high mountain. People named this high wall "Flying General City".

This name is not only to commemorate the former Flying General, but also because Flying General City is one of the few high walls built on a high mountain. Compared to the surrounding ground, the highest point is more than 700 meters high. "

"So that's it. It's actually a city of heroes."

But then Xing Yunfei sighed, "But in recent years, Feijiangjun City has not developed very well, mainly because of the depletion of various resources. The population has dropped from more than 5 million at its peak to about 4 million."

Chu Fei nodded. He was already very clear about the resource conflicts in the inland.

There are too many practitioners in the inland, and the resources consumed by the practitioners are unimaginable for ordinary people.

The lifespan of practitioners is generally longer than that of ordinary people, forming a unique "enrichment" effect, so that practitioners consume more resources.

But resources do not appear out of thin air. The most basic resources are provided by ordinary people, such as mining and smelting, cultivation of medicinal materials, industrial production, equipment operation and maintenance, logistics and transportation, technological innovation, etc. Most of them are the responsibility of ordinary people.

Ordinary people have no protection in the last days, and it is difficult for them to receive a good education and medical care, and people’s lives are difficult.

Therefore, ordinary people gradually find it difficult to bear the burden.

Moreover, a large number of inland mines are facing problems such as reduced production and depletion, further increasing resource tensions.

Therefore, the main contradiction in the inland recently is the contradiction between the increasing demands of practitioners and the weak growth of basic resources.

In this situation, "blackening" inevitably appeared, and even the city guards had to rob houses. It really couldn't be done without doing this, because there were not enough resources for cultivation.

Just think about it, even a 13.0 expert like Jiang Shumin has to work outside, which shows the scarcity of resources in the inland area.

After Xing Yunfei left, Chu Fei asked Jiang Shumin and the others, "Since resources are scarce inland, why don't you expand outward?"

Jiang Shumin also sighed, with some helplessness in her words: "We have expanded a lot in the past few years, but the expansion requires a lot of investment. Our resources are already tight, and we have to face all kinds of competition and even pick peaches. Gradually, no one wants to do it.

For example, I invested a lot of time and wasted time in my practice, but you used these resources to strengthen yourself and finally defeated me. What would others think of this situation?
Investing in new territory and hoping to see results will take at least 30 to 50 years. The investment during this period is beyond imagination and will seriously hinder one’s cultivation.”

Chu Fei was stunned, then fell silent, and even sighed.

I didn't expect the reason to be so simple. But if you think about it carefully, the reasons for many things are so simple, and there is no solution.

Unless the inland is unified and everyone expands together, this is almost impossible.

The three great factions are in a three-way confrontation, there are also cult activities in secret, various ambitious people are planning, and occasionally there will be a large number of alien species coming. After analyzing it, Chu Fei couldn't find any possibility of unification!
Now, as resource scarcity worsens and competition becomes more intense, there is absolutely no hope for unification.

The team moved forward slowly, and the newly recruited personnel were extremely excited. Seeing that there were more than 40 practitioners protecting the team, they felt that they had made the right bet.

With such a huge power, why bother to deceive the people like me? Right, it's not worth it. Because I am worthless, everyone is relieved.

Of course, everyone chose to ignore the hundreds of ordinary people's slaves in the caravan.

The team had unknowingly left Yishan City for more than 30 kilometers and entered the "wilderness". At this time, the team began to get nervous, and ordinary people were not so excited.

Along the way, Xing Yunfei and his gang secretly dropped a lot of disposable detectors, some hung on trees on the roadside, and some randomly dropped in the jungle and roadside grass. These detectors are enough to provide a communication range of more than ten kilometers and can transmit images or low-frame-rate videos.

At this time, many detectors have sent back information - there are pursuers.

The pursuers have distinct characteristics - fully armed, all experts, forced march, no merchandise, etc. This is what the Purple Mountain Mercenary Group did in the past, so everyone is very familiar with this style.

Xing Yunfei reported the situation to Bai Jie, and Bai Jie took Xing Yunfei to find Chu Fei.

Chu Fei waved his hand, "Got it, just move forward with peace of mind. Don't worry, they are all sending their heads to the ground."

Xing Yunfei hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "I found a few familiar faces among them. This time there are powerful mercenaries and even city guards. I'm afraid there are more than one 12.0 among them."

Chu Fei nodded, "I know, don't worry."

Although he said there was nothing to worry about, Xing Yunfei was still nervous. Once the 12.0 masters started fighting, he and others might be affected.

But in the end, Xing Yunfei could only sigh.

After advancing another five or six kilometers, the team members in charge of alert sounded the alarm.

Chu Fei stood up and said, "I'll go take a look and test the 'Lion's Roar' I just analyzed."

"Together." Jiang Shumin's eyes were full of eagerness to try. This was the first time she analyzed an attack technique like this, and Jiang Shumin also wanted to try it out.

The two of them flew directly away from the team and flew through the air.

Seeing this scene, a large number of ordinary people became excited again.

Chu Fei and Jiang Shumin rushed into the forest, and then there was a thunderous roar, and everyone's figures sounded shaking.

Xing Yunfei and other practitioners felt it and their faces changed slightly. They were so far away, but they could feel the energy in their bodies fluctuate just by hearing the sound. What if they were to face it directly?

Chu Fei and Jiang Shumin returned in less than a minute. Xing Yunfei and others followed Chu Fei's orders and entered the forest. Soon, they came out with more than 50 practitioners who looked numb.

Xing Yunfei was escorting a prisoner, or rather dragging a prisoner out, but his eyes were somewhat dazed, because the guy he was dragging was a 12.0, and an old friend of the Purple Mountain Mercenary Group.

As a result, a 12.0 master was captured "completely" without even making a splash.

When Xing Yunfei caught this guy, he was lying on the ground with his body stretched out. A closer look revealed that the energy system in his body seemed to have collapsed. But the spine and brain nerve system were intact. This was a complete prey!

The team did not move forward and continued to wait for two minutes.

Then Wei Hang and Qian Yufeng took action.

Xing Yunfei's eyes became numb when he saw two more 12.0 masters flying into the air.

Then they heard the lion's roar again. Less than a minute later, the two men returned. Xing Yunfei led his men into the forest again and dragged out more than fifty captives.

Xing Yunfei knew several of the captives this time, all of whom were city guards. The leader in particular was one of the four great generals of Yishan City. As a result, such a master didn't even last a minute and became prey.

After throwing all the prey into the carriage, Xing Yunfei led the convoy forward.

It was quiet all the way after that. The chasing teams behind them didn't dare to pursue them anymore.

After walking about a hundred kilometers, we encountered a small town, and the whole town was on high alert.

Chu Fei and others did not enter the city, but bought some hot water and food at the gate and distributed them to ordinary people. Everyone rested for a while and continued on their way.

The mountain road was rugged, and the team's forward speed was maintained at about 20 to 30 kilometers. Ordinary people lay on the carriage, tied themselves with ropes, and gradually fell silent.

I was very excited at first, but after several hours of bumpy ride, I gradually became numb.

I don't know when the space became gloomy, and there was a drizzle of rain falling all around, which quickly turned into a heavy rain, but there seemed to be an invisible cover above the convoy, blocking the rain.

This miraculous scene made ordinary people excited again.

Xing Yunfei looked at this scene and could only take a deep breath - even the former leader of the Purple Mountain Mercenary Group could not do this.

A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer, and a king doesn't need a roar. This seemingly simple thing made Xing Yunfei bow his head completely.

Gradually, the rainstorm became heavy, and a narrow dome could be clearly seen appearing above the convoy, covering the entire convoy. Then, changes also occurred on the ground, and the convoy gradually "floated" and galloped on the water.

The rain was getting heavier, but the convoy was speeding along the ground and water, and the speed gradually exceeded 80 kilometers, reaching the limit of the engine and gearbox.

Perhaps because of the terrible road conditions in the end times, the speed of these transport vehicles is not fast at the moment, but they rely more on explosive power and off-road capabilities.

However, Xing Yunfei was shocked, and Jiang Shumin and the other two were also shocked.

Yes, this "miracle" was performed by Chu Fei.

Above the sky, there is a rain-proof barrier that is 10 meters wide and over 150 meters long; on the ground, there is a smooth road that is 10 meters wide and over 150 meters long.

The radius of Chu Fei's true energy field has long exceeded 70 meters, and the diameter has exceeded 140 meters; now he is just condensing a field of 10×150 square meters, and it seems very easy to condense this miracle.

But don’t just look at the surface.

The former true essence field only needed to support Chu Fei alone, so its "carrying" capacity was limited.

Moreover, the True Essence Field is the easiest to control in a circular shape, but it is difficult to control in an alien shape, even if the unfolded area looks much smaller. This situation can be explained by mathematical methods: just look at the calculation formula of a standard sphere and the calculation formula of an ellipsoid to know which one is more complicated.

The True Yuan Realm that Chu Fei is controlling now not only has complex control logic, but also has to support an entire convoy of more than fifty trucks and three to four hundred people, and maintain a speed of more than eighty kilometers per hour on rugged mountain roads and in a windy and rainy environment. This means that the True Yuan Realm is madly calculating and refreshing every moment.

This kind of control ability made Jiang Shumin, Wei Hang and Qian Yufeng silent.

Jiang Shumin and the other two secretly did some calculations and simulations, and found that it was difficult for them to do this. The most difficult part was not cultivation or computing power, but... the algorithm.

To complete this kind of control, some special algorithms are needed, but Jiang Shumin and the other two don't have such algorithms because their foundation is not good enough. They can use other algorithms to simulate it, but the efficiency is very low.

This is easy to understand, just like the soft decoding and hard decoding in video decoding. Chu Fei is currently using hard decoding, which is supported by the underlying logic and very efficient. Jiang Shumin and the other two are using soft decoding, which is not directly supported by the underlying logic and needs to be simulated by the middle layer software, driver, etc. before decoding can be completed.

It can also be viewed from the perspective of employment. The hard solution is: shareholders directly control the company; the soft solution is that shareholders do not know how to manage the company, so they have to hire professional managers, who then manage the company.

At the moment, although Jiang Shumin and the other two have much higher cultivation levels than Chu Fei, and they can also achieve Chu Fei's domain control, the computing power and energy they consume are several times that of Chu Fei, and they are not flexible enough.

However, most people don't understand these things. They only know that "Wo Cao Xing Tian Xia" (wocao xing tianxia). Some people also have some low-level bracelets and other equipment and are taking pictures.

The bracelets used by Chu Fei and others cost hundreds of thousands of yuan and are high-end products, many of which were excavated from ruins. But the bracelets used by ordinary people are very cheap, only a few yuan.

As everyone was either surprised or excited, the convoy passed through the rain and a mountain mist was faintly visible in the distance.

"We are almost at Flying General City." Experienced people exclaimed.

But Chu Fei didn't care about these. He was sitting cross-legged on top of a RV, controlling the area. At the same time, he was constantly calculating, deducing, and looking for the shortcomings.

Science and technology are practical technologies. Whether a technology is good or not must be tested in practice; after successful testing, it can continue to iterate and step by step reach new heights.

Suddenly, Chu Fei opened his eyes and turned his head abruptly to look to the side.

Then, a figure was seen flying towards them quickly, but the height of the figure was rapidly decreasing. It was more like falling than flying.

Chu Fei only took a quick glance and saw the white but messy wings, the slim but disheveled figure, and the hair that was messy as if it had been burned by fire.

The figure seemed to be unconscious and was now almost heading towards the convoy, giving people a sense of being locked by a cruise missile.

However, what made Chu Fei alert was that this person had an extraordinary aura.

Although there is a feeling of exhaustion now, the remaining energy still makes Chu Fei tremble with fear. It's like... a tiger's might will not be defeated even after its death!

The most important thing is that the fluctuations and aura of that energy made Chu Fei feel vaguely familiar.

Chu Fei completed the data retrieval almost instantly and matched a figure: Wei Qingyu, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion Auction House, the charming auctioneer, and a 14.0 master.

But this person's appearance was obviously not Wei Qingyu, and her appearance was somewhat ordinary; no, a 14.0 female master could not have such an ordinary appearance, this was a fake appearance, which proved that she was Wei Qingyu.

Why was Wei Qingyu here? She looked seriously injured. With a cultivation level of 14.0, she was about to spread her wings and fly, and she was unconscious in mid-air.

Is there someone chasing me? Should I save him? Will I be killed if I save him?
In an instant, hundreds of thoughts flashed through Chu Fei's mind.

At this time, "Wei Qingyu" had already crashed into the convoy.

Chu Fei took a deep breath, instantly controlled the changes in the barrier, gently supported Wei Qingyu, and at the same time alerted Jiang Shumin and the other two.

"Wei Qingyu" suddenly woke up after crashing into the barrier; however, her injuries were too severe, and she barely managed to circulate her energy, but before she could even raise the energy, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qian Yufeng was the fastest and appeared next to Chu Fei in an instant, followed by Jiang Shumin and finally Wei Hang.

Chu Fei controlled the barrier to hold up Wei Qingyu, then stopped the convoy and ordered it to rest and gather temporarily.

The convoy slowly gathered within a hundred meters, and Chu Fei's barrier converged, still protecting all the vehicles from wind and rain; but that was all, and the vehicles fell into the mud.

Chu Fei carried Wei Qingyu into the carriage, took out the Spring Rain Incense and lit it, then said to Jiang Shumin and the others, "The best medicine I have at the moment is the Spring Rain Incense, which can stabilize her injuries."

Jiang Shumin looked at "Wei Qingyu" and frowned slightly, "Do you know him?"

Chu Fei nodded, then shook his head: "Maybe. The other person's face is obviously fake. In fact, the senior should know her."

"Do I know him?" Jiang Shumin frowned slightly and looked carefully.

Chu Fei sent his guess directly to Jiang Shumin and the other two through the "United Will Communication Group", a cosmic brain communication software. The three narrowed their eyes, obviously thinking of a lot in an instant.

At this time, "Wei Qingyu" was in a very sorry state. His hair looked like it had been burned by fire, and was as messy as a bird's nest. His face was still somewhat disfigured, and his wings behind him were in a mess, with many feathers broken. There were several penetrating wounds on his chest and abdomen, and he was covered in blood. His body was pale like a corpse, and there was probably not much blood left in his body. It was because the practitioner was very powerful, otherwise he could have been made into a mummy.

The effect of the spring rain incense was so strong that Wei Qingyu's eyelids trembled slightly.

Chu Fei spoke up, "Rest assured, if I wanted to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago. You are not in good condition now, so I will give you some energy and nutrients first. We are using the lowest level of super energy potion now. If you think it is okay, we can switch to psychic potion, dragon blood potion, and spiritual essence potion."

After drinking bottles of super potion mixed with nutrients, Wei Qingyu's face became ruddy. After all, she was a master, her face became ruddy, and the wings behind her retracted into her body little by little.

At the same time, Chu Fei also gave Jiang Shumin, Wei Hang, and Qian Yufeng three bottles of Lingyuan Fruit Extract, explaining: "Spring Rain Incense has strong medicinal properties, and it is not easy to absorb too much. The three seniors absorbed too much, and this potion can neutralize the medicinal properties."

Jiang Shumin took the medicine, smelled it first, and felt comfortable. Then she drank the medicine in one gulp, and felt that the vague discomfort in her body disappeared.

Is this the tyranny of spring rain burning incense? But why do I feel like I am being detoxified?

Jiang Shumin's eyes flashed - Spring Rain Incense is poisonous! After all, she is an expert, so she has this kind of experience.

However, Jiang Shumin didn't expect Chu Fei to specifically poison her, because Chu Fei had just said that Chun Yu Ran Xiang's medicinal properties were overbearing and it was not easy to absorb too much. And Chu Fei absorbed it with everyone every day.

All I can say is that knowledge determines insight.

Chu Fei continued to feed medicine to Wei Qingyu.

After a while, Wei Qingyu opened her eyes, and Chu Fei changed the psychic potion and started using the primary resurrection potion, and then increased the amount little by little.

Half an hour later, Chu Fei gave Wei Qingyu five bottles of 12.0 potion, and Wei Qingyu's breath completely stabilized. Now she still didn't have much fighting power, but at least she was completely awake.

Chu Fei did not continue feeding the medicine, and spoke, "What's your name?"

Jiang Shumin and the other two stared at Wei Qingyu.

Wei whispered: "Zhang Meixue."

Chu Fei suddenly smiled strangely, "Zhang Meixue? But I always feel that the aura on you is very familiar, very similar to Wei Qingyu from the Treasure Pavilion."

Wei Qingyu sat up instantly, but immediately started coughing madly. The potion just now only stabilized the injury. For a 14.0 master, the 12.0 potion was barely effective.

Looking at the unfamiliar faces of Chu Fei and the other three, Wei Qingyu's heart sank.

However, Chu Fei's next words made Wei Qingyu even more shocked.

Chu Fei said slowly, "I think about it, the only thing worth Boss Wei risking his life for is the Star Battle Suit. I'm afraid that the fisherman will benefit from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam."

Wei Qingyu remained silent on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

From the other person's tone, you can tell that he is already certain that he is Wei Qingyu.

Chu Fei's indifferent voice echoed in the car, but did not reach outside the car, "Boss Wei, we don't want the Star Battle Suit or anything like that, and we don't dare to ask for it. But shouldn't you say something?

For example, a life-saving favor, hush money, etc.

As the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, I think he should have a lot of good things on him."

Wei Qingyu slowly exhaled a heavy breath and lay down slowly, "What do you want? I have almost nothing on me now."

Chu Fei glanced at Jiang Shumin and the other two and said, "These three have been stuck at 13.0 for many years. I need to ask for your experience in practicing 13.0 and 14.0."

Jiang Shumin and the other two's eyes lit up immediately. Yes, this is what the three of them need most.

Wei Qingyu was a little stunned, "That's all?"

"Yes. That's all."

Wei Qingyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will get angry?"

Chu Fei smiled particularly brightly: "The number of people who dare to snatch the Star Battle Suit can be counted on one's fingers.

Perhaps within a few days, Boss Wei will be exposed. By then, Boss Wei should think about how to keep the Qizhen Pavilion, the Xingchen Battle Suit, and how to avoid being hunted down by the three major factions.

Your biggest enemy is time. You need to recover as soon as possible, show up in the open, and dispel other people's suspicions."

Wei Qingyu looked at Chu Fei steadily, "Who are you?"

Chu Fei pondered for a while, then slowly uttered three words: "Potion Master."

"You're not dead?!"

Chu Fei was speechless. "I am your savior after all. What Boss Wei said is so sad." (End of this chapter)
