Chapter 857 Shadow
"What was Wang Mingxue's expression at that time?"
In the city lord's office, Chu Fei asked Li Yaofeng.
The battle was over, and then the representatives of the three major groups left in a hurry. Without any other actions, Chu Fei also returned to the city lord smoothly.
After returning, Chu Fei and Li Yaofeng briefly exchanged the situation of the "battle", and Chu Fei asked Wang Mingxue about his expression at that time.
Li Yaofeng thought for a while, "I really didn't pay much attention. I was mainly watching the battle at that time. But think about the guy's expression at that time, it seems a little... dissatisfied, yes, a little frown."
Chu Fei: "Under normal circumstances, it should be an expression of anger and shame, right?"
"Yes!" Li Yaofeng nodded, thinking, "I always have a strange feeling, it doesn't feel like revenge, it feels more like testing products! Yes, that's the feeling!"
Chu Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, and remembered his feelings: Could it be that this so-called "Wang Hongxue" is not a person at all, but an "artificial person", a bionic person,?
The reason why it took more than four months to "revenge" is not the time of interstellar travel, but the time of production and manufacturing!
Come to think of it, it is unreasonable to send a cannon fodder across the star system from Dragon and Tiger Star just to challenge yourself.
Ma Weishan, who had not left yet, spoke up, "Is it possible that the brothers are fighting against each other? The Wang Wei that the master killed was the youngest son, and there were older brothers and younger brothers above him.
The youngest son is often favored, and the older brothers and sisters can't stand it. Now that the old father doesn't know what happened, the older brothers and sisters started to make trouble."
Chu Fei thought about the situation at that time. Wang Wei, as the son of the chairman, was holding on to a small Shuiyuexing mineral base, which was indeed a bit unpopular.
Thinking of this, Chu Fei scolded Ma Weishan: "I didn't kill Wang Wei, don't talk nonsense!"
Ma Weishan: ...
Chu Fei asked Li Yaofeng again, "City Lord, how many sons and daughters does the president of Shuixing Group have?"
Li Yaofeng: "There should be an older son, who is now the president. Is it really a fight between brothers?"
Chu Fei has already made a judgment in his heart. I'm afraid it's not just a fight between brothers, but also because of the test of bionic people. However, Chu Fei did not say anything, but just said lightly that the matter should be over first.
Although the process made Chu Fei very annoyed, the current result is still acceptable. At least Mercury Group said that it would not pursue the matter later; but the reward will not be withdrawn - the reward is of course for the appearance of "Zhang Bing", which has nothing to do with Chu Fei.
Chu Fei discussed the exploration of Gaia Secret Realm with Li Yaofeng again - everyone is still preparing, and new technologies are being developed and produced. It is expected that large-scale exploration, or attack, will have to wait.
Before leaving, Chu Fei gave Ma Weishan a small gift - the bald program, a special "spell" for big data practice.
"Master, this program can be made into a special massager or something like that, and the price should not be low."
"Give me half of the net profit!" Chu Fei left without looking back.
"Okay." Ma Weishan agreed. This is considered an unexpected fortune.
Chu Fei was talking about "net profit", and Ma Weishan was not under much pressure. Of course, given Chu Fei's identity and long-term considerations, Ma Weishan did not dare to act recklessly. Even Mr. Ma thought that if the profit was enough, he could give more to Chu Fei after he was full.
When he returned home, Chu Fei's face suddenly darkened. This so-called challenge made Chu Fei feel "weak" again.
The realm of 12.0 is not enough!
As expected, he still had to sprint to the realm of 14.0 with all his strength.
He couldn't waste it anymore, and all his time had to be used. For potion research, one Emperor Liujiang was enough, enough to exchange for a large amount of "Holy Spirit" for himself.
The Holy Spirit is a good thing, even the seeds of the Wisdom Tree are not picky. Similarly, this thing can also replenish the soul and make Chu Fei's soul stronger.
However, the Fusheng Medicine Hall still needs elites. People cannot be separated from society. Chu Fei must manage his own circle and influence.
But there is another problem that is becoming more and more urgent-the computing power of computers is getting less and less.
Chu Fei needs more advanced computers, but top-level computers have always been strategic resources and will not be easily released for sale.
Chu Fei does have some computer production technology in his hands. However, the production of computers is a huge industrial chain, unlike the refining of magic weapons, which can be rubbed by hand.
"We have to find a way to deal with the situation of computers."
The time of cultivation passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, another half a month had passed.
"Resurrection Medicine Hall" officially opened. At 20 o'clock in the evening, Chu Fei was already standing at the gate, welcoming each guest one by one.
Then Chu Fei accompanied Li Yaofeng, talking and laughing, and started the evening "charity auction".
The eternal sunshine illuminated the auction hall. Chu Fei invited a professional auctioneer to be in charge of this auction. Bottles of large and small Emperor Liujiang, epiphany potions, and 120% quality recovery potions were constantly being auctioned off.
Chu Fei didn't pay much attention to the auction, but just chatted and laughed with many big guys to expand his network.
For Chu Fei, the auction is not for making money, but for making friends.
With so many potions in hand, Chu Fei is not short of money, but lacks social status, connections, and social influence. Tonight's auction is used to do this.
Half of the auction proceeds will be used for charity. A list will then be drawn up and made public to the entire Arctic City to consolidate Li Yaofeng's position as the new city lord, as well as Chu Fei's position - Chu Fei has been "reserved" to be the "chief alchemist" for Gaia's world exploration.
Some people may have been dissatisfied before, but now, facing the high-quality Emperor Liujian, everyone has acquiesced in Chu Fei's status.
The auction lasted for more than two hours. Dozens of bottles of potions were almost shared by all, and the competitive prices were relatively reasonable. Chu Fei finally took the stage to preside over the donation ceremony, and the auction ended with warm applause.
But Chu Fei's activities have just begun.
A grand dinner began.
At the dinner, Li Yaofeng officially announced and publicly appointed Chu Fei as the "Chief Alchemist of the Arctic City-Gaia World Exploration Mobilization Conference."
Li Yaofeng asked about the election. Naturally, no one competed with Chu Fei, and Chu Fei officially took office.
From this moment on, Chu Fei is no longer a "booking", "nominal", etc., but an official "Arctic City Management".
The scene was lively, and Chu Fei toasted one by one. Before I knew it, the party was halfway over.
"Master Chu!" A dusty figure came over, almost rushing towards him. It was Wang Bing.
Chu Fei immediately smiled: "General Wang, I only saw your old representative at the auction just now. You are late. According to the rules, you will be fined three drinks first."
Wang Bing forced a smile, not a very bright smile, "Those ghosts took the initiative to attack. Just more than four hours ago, I was preparing to come over, but I didn't want a large-scale death accident to suddenly occur in the camp, with a death toll of 126 people.
Among them, 7 military staff officers died, with cultivation levels between level six and level seven. There were no wounds in the death state, as if his consciousness had been swallowed up, much like he was killed by a ghost.
The investigation revealed that it was indeed the work of a ghost.
We are still investigating the means through which these ghosts came, and we are also looking for traces of the ghosts.
Master Chu has mature methods of dealing with ghosts, and I would like to ask Master Chu to help check. "
Chu Fei put down his wine glass and frowned a little with a serious face, "General Wang, since this ghost can be seen with the surveillance camera, he should be able to find it."
Wang Bing bowed slightly to everyone around him, "Sorry to disturb everyone, I will borrow the venue for five minutes."
Then Wang Bing walked to the podium domineeringly, inserted a memory card into the computer, and switched the screen. The festive scene suddenly turned into a military camp, and panicked screams replaced the melodious music.
I only saw a vague light that seemed like a wisp of light black smoke flowing in the peaceful military camp. Someone discovered it, and some were curious to observe.
As a result, the black smoke penetrated into the human body instantly, and then brought out a "soul" from the human body and swallowed it in one gulp. A body was left on the spot and slowly fell.
The black smoke is flowing, and there is no enemy. The scene instantly became chaotic and screams continued.
Several seventh-level masters rushed over, wielding swords, lights, and swords, but they had no effect on the black smoke. This black smoke can even turn at a right angle, penetrate into the arm along the sword, and then sink directly into the human body.
I saw a level 7 master who was so shocked that he ripped off his arm. But it was too late.
A black shadow flashed past the break, penetrated into the body, and then flew out from above the head, taking away the soul of a broken arm.
There were four level seven masters rushing towards him from behind, but none of them were able to defeat him!
The black shadow seemed to be full and disappeared from the crack of the door.
At the same time, there was a stream of light running around on the other side, also hunting a large number of people.
Wang Bing spoke: "Everyone has seen the situation. There are at least three ghosts that have been discovered so far, but no trace of them has been found at all.
These guys can slip through cracks in doors and kill people unawares. But their hiding place is very simple. A gap, a box, next to a trash can, etc., anything is a place to hide.
Now these three ghosts should be full and still digesting, but once they are digested, they will definitely kill again! "
Chu Fei looked at the video, pondered for a while and said: "General Wang personally invited you, I will definitely go.
But I have a question. Evil cultivators, wizards, and even some special cultivators all have ways to deal with souls. Can't they find any traces of it?
I remember that wizards also had crystal balls and the like that could detect traces of souls and similar entities. "
Wang Bing smiled bitterly: "I've asked this before. Whether they are evil cultivators, cultivators or wizards, they have just come into contact with these ghosts and their understanding of ghosts is limited.
In this case, using the terminology of your big data practice, it is: without original data, the target cannot be retrieved.
Now a large number of wizards and evil cultivators have jointly conducted research, but as you know, the ones with the strongest research capabilities are the big data practitioners. For the rest of the practitioners, they have to study something in years.
One cultivator in particular told me that he could come up with a solution within three years.
Oh shit, everyone will be dead in three years! "
At the end of the sentence, Wang Bing became violent.
Chu Fei was stunned. But it makes sense when you think about it.
Big data practice is influenced by science. Although it is more difficult, the efficiency is still good. But the rest of the practice is different.
Especially cultivators, who have a long lifespan and focus on being calm and unhurried. The other cultivators are all dead, and their graves are full of people dancing. The cultivators have just finished their retreat, and are ready to take a nap first, and then play in the private world.
Although Chu Fei always said that he broke the aura of cultivation "again", the problem is that there are too many auras of cultivation, otherwise it wouldn't be "again".
Speaking of which, what is the original purpose of cultivation? The original purpose is that the ruler wants to live forever! Cultivation itself comes from nourishing Qi and strengthening the inner body, all for the sake of longevity. As for ascension and magical powers, that is all a matter for the future.
Okay, I've gone off topic. But Chu Fei also knew that it was time for him to go.
Looking at the people around him, Chu Fei had to bow, "Thank you all for your support. Now that I am officially the chief alchemist, it is related to the safety of the front line of Gaia Secret Realm, and it may even affect the exploration of the entire Gaia Secret Realm. It is necessary for me to go and take a look."
As he said, he turned his head and looked at the butler Zhang Yue, "Zhang Yue, please distribute the gifts prepared for everyone first."
"Ah?" Zhang Yue was stunned, "Master, I... am not ready yet."
Zhang Yue is the butler after all, and he really followed Chu Fei's thinking.
Chu Fei immediately said, "Let's write it by hand. Everyone today, above 12.0, or a representative of one party, as long as one condition is met, will be given a half-price coupon, which can be used to buy a bottle of Emperor Liujiang, or five bottles of advanced nourishing spirit potion.
For the rest of the people, one by one, each person will be given a half-price coupon for advanced recovery potion, which can be used to buy a bottle of advanced recovery potion, or three bottles of intermediate recovery potion, or 10 bottles of low-level recovery potion."
Before Chu Fei finished speaking, there was warm applause at the scene. Everyone is not stupid, it is obvious that this is Chu Fei's temporary addition, otherwise it would not be written by hand.
Only Wang Bing's face was bitter-it's over, he owes a big favor! Obviously, this was caused by himself; and in front of so many people, this favor, Wang Bing, has to bear the consequences! The "bear the burden" of not being able to eat it.
But Wang Bing couldn't say, Master, don't be so generous. Otherwise, everyone at the scene would not forgive him.
And Chu Fei did nothing wrong, I ran away from the banquet halfway, and I should give everyone some compensation. Not to mention that he officially became the chief alchemist today, so he had to celebrate.
Wang Bing was still struggling here, but someone spoke up, "Master, you are an alchemist, you can create greater value if you stay in the rear. It's only been more than a month, and you have researched the Emperor's Flowing Juice.
But if the master is injured, the loss will be great, not only the master's loss, but also the loss of the entire Morning Star."
With the leader, there are immediately people who echoed. "Yes, Master, you have just broken through 12.0, and you still need to consolidate your cultivation. As far as I know, cultivators who break through to the Nascent Soul stage have been in seclusion for three to five years."
"Master, I have never heard that fighting, arresting murderers and pharmacists are related."
"Master, the ghosts who dare to enter our world to kill people are probably the so-called special forces. This kind of ghost is definitely not something the master can deal with. I agree with the master going there. But I am afraid that if the master goes there, General Wang will be distracted to protect him, and then the meaning of rescue will be lost."
…
Everyone talked at once, and what they said made sense. Of course, the real boss would not speak, but the followers around them were all smart and spoke on behalf of the master.
After all, they just received a gift from Chu Fei, so of course they were on Chu Fei's side. Look at the information Wang Bing brought. The 12.0 military elite was killed in one encounter. This newly appeared ghost must not be underestimated. (End of this chapter)
