Chapter 459 The Enlightened One

What's the best way to get to know a place as quickly as possible?

Answer: krypton gold.

Wu Yong can't move as long as he can, so Chu Fei can only go out to earn money...ahem...to get familiar with the environment. Wu Yong happened to stay to look after his family.

For now, Wu Yong is still pretty good.

But before leaving, Chu Fei still went to see his pet, the feathered snake.

The feathered serpent has been in the process of molting recently and is still in a dormant state. When he arrived, Chu Fei put it in his backpack, which was quite stable.

However, the outer scales had lost their luster, and it was obviously at the last moment.

The molting couatl does not eat or drink, except... the primary resurrection potion.

"You're a foodie. I feel like I've lost money." Chu Fei muttered, then opened the feathered snake's mouth and poured the potion in. The transforming feathered serpent smashed the bar a few times, but still didn't wake up.

This can be regarded as one of the weaknesses of snakes. Even a powerful sixth-level alien beast, equivalent to a human 11.0~12.0 awakened person (not an awakened person), has little resistance at this time.

After that, Chu Fei took the 20 million cash sent by Qin Shuya and went out.

Krypton gold, isn’t it just shopping? Through shopping, you can understand the price level, resource situation, etc. here.

The first thing that costs money is communication equipment.

Unlike Dawn City and Feihu City, Hongsong City has a complete wireless broadcast network system. There are mobile phones, bracelets, etc. for sale here, as well as things like mobile phone card data.

It should be said that this place has initially returned to a civilized environment. The mobile phones and bracelets here are all produced later. Of course, this kind of mobile phones, bracelets, etc. can only communicate and do not have strong computing power.

In comparison, bracelets like Chu Fei's recovered from the ruins are precious. Especially the battery life calculated in thousands of years is the most practical.

When I applied for a mobile phone card, I used yesterday’s ID card. Seeing Chu Fei's level 10.0 ID card, the card holder was ten times more enthusiastic and promoted the bracelet—a bracelet unearthed from the ruins. The starting price was five zeros.

Chu Fei showed his bracelet, and under the "calm" operation of the other party, purchased a high-end package: Red Pine City and more than a dozen surrounding high walls have signals and are fully functional.

Then Chu Fei found a place to buy maps and electronic maps, and started shopping.

When Dawn City and Feihu City were at their most prosperous, they were far from being comparable to this place.

There is a sidewalk above and a transport road below. The broad street was busy with traffic, and there was an endless stream of teams transporting supplies; with Chu Fei's hearing, he could also hear different accents.

But if you want to hear the most authentic local accent, you need to listen to the words of ordinary people.

Chu Fei walked all the way, the wind of perception gently brushing the street, and he kept adjusting his accent. In just ten minutes, Chu Fei was completely "localized".

It is really important to learn the local accent. At least when he attacked the robber for the first time outside the city, the robber immediately knew that he was not a local.

Integrating into the local area is a necessary survival skill.

At the same time, Chu Fei was also observing the situation of the masters here. The spiritual sense is quietly turned on, scanning the master's proportions.

But after just observing for a moment, he sighed slightly. There is a feeling that an awakened person is inferior to a dog.

Ordinary awakened people are not only everywhere, but they can be seen at any time.

But most people are in a hurry.

Next, Chu Fei bought one or two bottles of potion, purchased some basic raw materials, and even went to the "mission hall" to post a mission and hired a tour guide for 500 yuan a day. The employer was responsible for all food, drink, accommodation and transportation.

The price was very low, but it was a walk around the city, and there were no requirements. As soon as the mission was released, a group of people surrounded Chu Fei. From teenagers to old warriors.

Because of his spiritual sense, Chu Fei can directly "see" a person's aura.

Chu Fei looked around and found an old soldier with a broken left arm. This was a semi-awakened person who looked fifty years old.

In the eyes of the other party's joy, Chu Fei chose him and paid the fee for two days in advance.

One thousand yuan is nothing to Chu Fei. Even if the inland currency value is high.

After leaving the mission hall, the old soldier said a little embarrassedly: "Well... little brother, do you think I can go home first?"

Although Chu Fei is young, his identity card of 10.0 is enough to make the veteran soldier bow his head.

Chu Fei nodded and didn't speak. He just followed the old soldier silently to get familiar with his surroundings.

The old soldier skillfully left the busy street and walked to the side road. Less than 800 meters after leaving the street, 90% of the surrounding prosperity has disappeared, leaving only piles of old buildings.

Chu Fei stood at the door of a community, silently looking at the cracked building, and just waited silently at the door of the community.

Are things dire here? Maybe, but this is the norm. The same is true in Feihu City. In fact, if they can live in the inner city, these people can be considered top students in the apocalypse.

Judging from the weathered cement and rusted steel bars at the entrance of the community, the lifespan of these buildings is probably more than a hundred years.

For the next three days, Chu Fei almost measured this high wall with his feet and visited most places inside and outside the city.

Here, there are many things that Dawn City and Feihu City do not have.

In addition to various factories, there are banks, communication companies, power companies, mission halls, trading centers, spiritual medicine trading centers, large and small research bases that can be rented, a complete school education system, a large-scale weapons market and second-hand market, and even... slaves!

Since there are slaves, there are also casinos, arenas, etc.

There is civilization here, but also corruption, order and darkness. In the end, all of this is interwoven into the current Hongsong City.

This is a high wall that relies on a trade hub. It may have been the front line against the end of the world, but now it has "retired" and is enjoying retirement.

The dozen high walls outside Hongsong City are the resource areas and new fronts of Hongsong City.

Of course, it is not entirely a retirement life. Hongsong City now mainly supports technology, medicines, and deep processing of resources for the front line, and also communicates with other high walls in the inland.

Here is a bridge.

For Chu Fei, settling in Hongsong City is the best choice. This place has reached the inland, but it is only the edge of the inland.

As for how to judge the scope of the inland, of course... Lucheng!

From the guide's mouth, Chu Fei heard the word "Lucheng" again.

It turned out that there were different spheres of influence in the inland. Hongsong City belonged to a sphere of influence called "Thunder Lucheng".

That's right, it was the Thunder Lucheng that Chu Fei saw when he first came to this world.

This Lucheng was not static, but patrolled in its own territory. It patrolled almost every three to five years.

Patrolling is not only about dividing the scope, but also about promoting exchanges, and looking for outstanding talents to join Lucheng.

Taking geniuses into Lucheng for training is itself a means of ruling, and every genius has a string of tails behind him.

Three days later, Chu Fei came to the door of the mission hall again, but the old soldier looked a little gloomy. The beautiful three days were over.

During these three days, Chu Fei's food was naturally not bad, and the old soldier didn't lack a bite of food.

Just watching Chu Fei submit the task and make the final settlement, the old soldier struggled for a long time, and finally stood in front of Chu Fei when Chu Fei went out.

But before the old soldier could speak, Chu Fei smiled, "Have you thought about it?"

The old soldier was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You have already figured it out?"

Chu Fei restrained his smile and said lightly: "The reward for an awakener is only 300,000 to 500,000. I will give you 300,000, and give me your life."

"Okay! The remaining half of my life, Xue Hao, belongs to you from today." While speaking, he stared at Chu Fei closely.

Chu Fei directly stuffed a bag of cash into the old soldier's hand, "300,000, count it. Count it in front of you, and don't recognize it later."

"Okay." Xue Hao didn't pretend. In front of Chu Fei, he counted the 300,000 cash and put it away.

This happened at the door of the mission hall. When Xue Hao counted the cash, there were people watching around.

Seeing Xue Hao put away the cash, the door of the mission hall suddenly exploded.

"Mr. Chu, do you think I can do it? I don't want 300,000, 200,000, 200,000 will do!"

"Mr. Chu, I want 100,000, 100,000 in ten years."

"Mr. Chu..."

Chu Fei looked around silently and smiled softly, "Everyone go back first. If I need someone, I will let Xue Hao come."

After saying that, he took Xue Hao, who was still a little dazed, back to the community first, and took his family away directly to Chu Fei's place.

Xue Hao's family is just an old wife and a son who is said to be a mercenary. To be precise, it is the only son left.

Chu Fei didn't ask too much about these, but Xue Hao posted a note on the door, and then left a message for his son's mercenary group on the public phone in the community, and then followed Chu Fei away.

As an ordinary soldier who was injured and retired, Xue Hao's family obviously didn't have the money to apply for expensive communication equipment. This is the end of the world, and the target customer group of communication services does not include ordinary people.

Arriving at Chu Fei's courtyard, Xue Hao looked up and saw a cartoon-style plaque hanging on the gate:

[Apprentice Alchemist]

Xue Hao opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

This new employer, or "master", is interesting. Others are afraid that their alchemy skills are not good enough, but you give yourself such a name, afraid that you are not good enough?

After entering the door, Chu Fei arranged a room for Xue Hao and his wife, and then explained the work.

Chu Fei actually thought deeply about hiring Xue Hao.

An old soldier who can survive to more than 50 years old is definitely a real "old man in the family is like a treasure". At least Xue Hao knows everything about Hongsong City.

Chu Fei is not very confident about the people Qin Shuya assigned to him. After all, these people's roots are not here, and it is impossible to expect them to be 100% loyal.

On the contrary, people like Xue Hao can be cultivated.

As for the issue of age, it is not a big problem. Anyway, Chu Fei will be here for three years at most.

Also, as an old soldier, he has some connections. And the connections that can stay in this age group should be more credible.

These are what Chu Fei values.

As for the old and confused problems, Chu Fei has verified them in three days and they do not exist.

In fact, everything is as Chu Fei expected. Xue Hao quickly got started with his current job, training, commanding, and keeping busy the people sent by Qin Shuya, while supervising the quality of the project.

That evening, Xue Hao's third son Xue Dabao found this place. After Chu Fei nodded, Xue Dabao quit his job in the mercenary group and moved to Chu Fei's place.

But Chu Fei no longer had time to take care of these things, because Chu Fei had more important things to do: practice.

After sorting out the problems in life, Chu Fei immediately devoted himself to practice.

At this moment, Wu Yong was teaching Chu Fei about "Awakened".

As the saying goes, when you are full and warm, you will think... progress. Everything has stabilized, and the level of cultivation has reached 9.9. Chu Fei has finally begun to formally contact and understand things related to "Awakened".

Wu Yong took some handwritten materials, which he had sorted out in the past three days, and spoke:

"Before talking about the difference between the enlightened and the awakened, let's review the relationship and difference between the half-awakened, half-step awakened, and fully awakened. You talk about it first."

Chu Fei thought for a moment and said: "There are actually no requirements for the half-awakened. It is just that the universe brain is completed and the potential index exceeds 7.8 to be considered a half-awakened. If it can break through 7.9, it is considered a high-level half-awakened.

Then the promotion from the half-awakened to the awakened is divided into two directions due to reasons such as foundation.

One is the half-step awakened, which was also called the ordinary awakened in the past. The half-step awakened is the one who adds the logic of Euclidean space to the universe brain. .

One is a fully awakened person, who has added the logic of Hilbert space to the universe brain.

The relationship between the three, whether fully awakened or ordinary awakened, is developed from semi-awakened. But one is more perfect. ”

Wu Yong: "Well said, but this is just the surface. Big data practice is the result of science, and it also requires us to start from the root when thinking about problems.

Then try to analyze what is the fundamental difference between the three?

Is it mathematical logic? Is it scientific knowledge? Is it the potential index? Or consciousness, or mind, or observer effect, or what Cao Liwen calls greed? "

Chu Fei originally wanted to say "logic", but at this time he fell into thinking.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and suddenly a thought flashed through Chu Fei's mind: "It's an attribute! Yes, it's an attribute, it's a human attribute.

Human spirituality is a kind of collection of negative entropy. It was once described and studied as the 'Boltzmann brain', and now it is described as the cosmic brain.

The cosmic brain we are practicing now is a completely different concept from the theoretical cosmic brain. Maybe when we become a real pure data life, we will have a theoretical cosmic brain.

And in the cosmic brain, or the theory of negative entropy, there is an important concept, which is 'order.'

But whether it is negative entropy, order, intelligence, or even good and evil laziness, they are actually human attributes!"

After listening to Chu Fei's explanation, Wu Yong suddenly froze and looked at Chu Fei without saying anything.

"What's wrong, Master?" Chu Fei was a little scared by Wu Yong's look.
