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 discussed the situation of the "battle", and Chu Fei asked Wang Mingxue about his expression at that time.
Li Yaofeng thought for a moment, "I really didn't pay much attention to it. I was mainly watching the battle at that time. But thinking about the guy's expression at that time, it seemed that he was a little... dissatisfied. Yes, he frowned a little."
Chu Fei: "Under normal circumstances, it should be an expression of anger and humiliation, right?"
"Yeah!" Li Yaofeng nodded, thinking, "I always have a strange feeling. It doesn't feel like revenge, but more like testing a product! Yes, that's the feeling!"
Chu Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of his own feelings: Could it be that this so-called "Wang Hongxue" is not a human being at all, but an "artificial human", a bionic man, etc.?
The reason why it took more than four months to "revenge" was not the time for interstellar travel, but the time for production and manufacturing!
Come to think of it, it doesn't make sense to send a cannon fodder across the star system from the Dragon and Tiger Twins just to challenge yourself.
Ma Weishan, who had not yet left, spoke up, "Is it possible that the brothers were at odds with each other? The Wang Wei that the master killed was the youngest son, and there were older brothers and younger brothers above him.
The younger son is often favored, and the older brothers and sisters can't stand it. Now, I don't know what happened to the old father, and the older brothers and sisters started to make trouble. "
Chu Fei thought about the situation at that time. As the son of the chairman, Wang Wei was sticking to a small Shuiyuexing mining 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 the Mercury Group have?"
Li Yaofeng: "There should be an older son, who is now the president. Is it really a quarrel between brothers?"
Chu Fei had already made up his mind, he was afraid that it was not just a quarrel between the brothers, but also the reason for testing the bionic man. However, Chu Fei did not say anything, but just said lightly that the matter should be over for the time being.
Although Chu Fei was very annoyed by the process, the result was still acceptable. At least Mercury Group said that it would no longer pursue the matter; but the reward would not be withdrawn - the reward was of course for the appearance of "Zhang Bing" and had nothing to do with Chu Fei.
Chu Fei discussed the exploration of the Gaia secret realm with Li Yaofeng again - everyone is still preparing, 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 - a program to treat baldness, 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 be quite high."
"Give me half of the net profit!" Chu Fei left without looking back.
"Okay." Ma Weishan agreed immediately. This was considered a windfall.
Chu Fei was talking about "net profit", so Ma Weishan was not under much pressure. Of course, given Chu Fei's status and long-term considerations, Ma Weishan did not dare to act recklessly. Even Mr. Ma thought that if the profit was large enough, he could give more to Chu Fei after he had eaten his fill.
When Chu Fei returned home, his face darkened instantly. This so-called challenge made Chu Fei feel "weak" again.
The level of 12.0 is not enough!
As expected, we still need to make a full effort to reach the 14.0 level.
I can't waste time any more, I have to make use of all my time. For potion research, one Emperor's Slurry is enough, enough to exchange for a large amount of "Holy Spirit" for myself.
The Holy Spirit is a good thing, even the seeds of the tree of wisdom are not picky. Similarly, this thing can also replenish the soul and make Chu Fei's soul stronger.
However, Fu Sheng Pharmacy still needs elites. People cannot be separated from society, and Chu Fei must build his own circle and influence.
But there is another problem that is becoming increasingly urgent - computer computing power is becoming increasingly insufficient.
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 did have some computer production technology in his hands. However, computer production was a huge industrial chain, unlike refining magic weapons, which could be done by hand.
"We need to find a way to deal with the computer situation."
The time of practice passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another half month had passed.
"Fu Sheng Pharmacy" was officially opened. At 20 p.m., Chu Fei was already standing at the gate, welcoming each guest one by one.
Then Chu Fei stayed beside Li Yaofeng, talking and laughing, and started the evening's "charity auction".
The eternal sunshine illuminated the auction hall. Chu Fei hired a professional auctioneer to take charge of the auction. Bottles of Emperor's Flowing Juice, Enlightenment Potion, and 120% quality Recovery Potion were constantly being auctioned off.
Chu Fei didn't pay much attention to the auction. He just chatted and laughed with many big guys and expanded his network.
For Chu Fei, the auction is not for making money, but for making friends.
With so many medicines in hand, Chu Fei is not short of money, but what he lacks is social status, connections, and social influence. Tonight's auction is used for this purpose.
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 Di Liujiang, everyone has tacitly acknowledged Chu Fei's status.
The auction lasted for more than two hours, and almost everyone who saw dozens of bottles of medicine had a chance to win, and the competition price was also 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 party 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, and naturally no one competed with Chu Fei, so Chu Fei officially took office.
From this moment on, Chu Fei was no longer just "reserved" or "nominal", but an official "Arctic City management".
The scene was full of enthusiasm, Chu Fei toasted everyone one by one. Before he knew it, the banquet was halfway through.
"Master Chu!" A dusty figure came over, almost rushing over. It was Wang Bing.
Chu Fei immediately smiled and said, "General Wang, I only saw your representative at the auction just now. You are late. According to the rules, you have to drink three glasses of wine first."
Wang Bing forced a smile, which was not very bright. "Those ghosts took the initiative to attack. Just over four hours ago, I was about to come here, but I didn't expect a large-scale death accident to suddenly occur in the camp, with a death toll of 126 people.
Among them, 7 military advisors died, with cultivation levels between level and . They died without any wounds, as if their consciousness had been devoured, much like they were killed by ghosts.
After checking the surveillance footage, it was discovered that it was indeed the work of a ghost.
We are currently investigating how these ghosts got here, and we are also looking for any traces of the ghosts.
Master Chu is very good at dealing with ghosts, so I would like to ask Master Chu to help check it out."
Chu Fei put down his wine glass, his face was so serious that he frowned a little, "General Wang, since this ghost can be seen by surveillance, we should be able to find it."
Wang Bing bowed slightly to the people around him and said, "Sorry to bother you all. I'll borrow the venue for five minutes."
Then Wang Bing walked to the podium in a domineering manner, 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.
Suddenly, a vague light, like a wisp of light black smoke, was seen flowing in the peaceful military camp. Someone noticed it and observed it curiously.
As a result, the black smoke instantly penetrated into the human body, then took out a "soul" from the human body and swallowed it in one gulp, leaving behind a body that slowly fell down.
Black smoke was swirling, and no one could stand up to them. The scene instantly became chaotic, with screams continuing.
Several level 7 masters rushed over, their swords flashing and sabers flying everywhere, but the black smoke had no effect at all. The black smoke could even turn at right angles, penetrate the arm along the swords, and then directly sink into the human body.
I only saw a level 7 expert rip his arm off in shock, but it was too late.
A black shadow flashed across the broken part, penetrated into the body, and then flew out from the top of the head, taking away a soul with a broken arm.
Four level seven masters rushed over from the front and back, but none of them could match them!
The dark shadow seemed to be full and disappeared through the crack in the door.
At the same time, there was a stream of light running around on the other side, also hunting down a large number of people.
Wang Bing spoke up: "Everyone has seen the situation. We have discovered at least three ghosts, but now there is no trace of them at all.
These guys can slip through cracks in doors and kill people when they are not prepared. However, their hiding places are very simple, such as a crack, a box, next to a trash can, etc. Any place can be a place for them to hide.
Now these three ghosts should be full and still digesting their food, but once they have digested it, they will definitely kill again!"
Chu Fei watched the video, pondered for a while and said: "General Wang personally invited me, I will definitely go.
But I have a question. Evil practitioners, wizards, and even some special practitioners all have ways to deal with souls, so why can't they find any traces?
I remember wizards also have crystal balls and the like, which can detect traces of souls and similar beings."
Wang Bing smiled bitterly: “I have asked this, whether it is the evil cultivators, the true cultivators or the wizards, they have just come into contact with these ghosts and have limited understanding of ghosts.
In this case, using the terminology of your big data practice, it is: without the original data, it is impossible to retrieve the target.
Now a large number of wizards and evil practitioners have joined forces to conduct research, but as you know, the ones with the strongest research capabilities are the big data practitioners. The rest of the practitioners have to calculate the time it takes to research something in years.
One cultivator in particular told me that he could come up with a solution within three years.
Oh shit, everyone is dead in three years!"
At the end of his speech, Wang Bing even started to swear.
Chu Fei was stunned. But thinking about it, it made sense.
Big data cultivation is influenced by science, and although it is a little more difficult, the efficiency is still good. But the other cultivations are uncertain.
Especially for cultivators, who have a long life span, they are always calm and unhurried. Other cultivators are dead and their graves are open for disco, but cultivators have just finished their retreat and are ready to sleep in and play games in the human world.
Although Chu Fei always said that he had broken an aura of cultivation "again", the problem was that there were too many auras of cultivation, otherwise it would not be "another" time.
Speaking of which, what was the original purpose of cultivation? The original purpose was that the rulers wanted to live forever! Cultivation itself originated from nourishing qi and strengthening the inner body, all for the purpose of longevity. As for ascension, magical powers, etc., those are all things for the future.
Okay, that's a little off topic. But Chu Fei also knew that it was time for him to leave.
Looking at the people around him, Chu Fei had to bow and said, "Thank you all for your support. Now that I am officially the chief alchemist, and this is related to the safety of the front line of Gaia Secret Realm, and may even affect the exploration of the entire Gaia Secret Realm, it is necessary for me to go over and take a look."
Then he turned to look 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."
After all, Zhang Yue was the chief steward, and he finally followed Chu Fei's ideas.
Chu Fei immediately said: "Then write it by hand. Today, everyone with a score of 12.0 or above, or a representative of one party, as long as they meet one condition, will be given a half-price coupon, which can be used to buy a bottle of Emperor Liujiang or five bottles of high-level nourishing spirit potion.
For the rest of you, each of you will be given a half-price coupon for a high-level recovery potion, which can be used to purchase one bottle of high-level recovery potion, three bottles of mid-level recovery potion, or ten bottles of low-level recovery potion."
Before Chu Fei finished speaking, there was warm applause. Everyone was not stupid, it was obvious that this was added by Chu Fei temporarily, otherwise it would not be written by hand.
Only Wang Bing looked bitter - it was over, he owed a big favor! It was obvious that he had caused this; and in front of so many people, he, Wang Bing, had to bear the consequences of this favor!
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 through, so I should give everyone some compensation. Not to mention that today I officially became the chief alchemist, so I have to celebrate.
Wang Bing was still struggling here, but someone spoke up, "Master, you are an alchemist, you stay in the rear area to create greater value. It has 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 huge, not only the loss of the master, but also the loss of the entire Morning Star. "
With someone taking the lead, others immediately followed suit. "Yes, Master, you have just broken through to level 12.0, so you still need to consolidate your cultivation. As far as I know, all cultivators who break through to the Nascent Soul stage have been in seclusion for three to five years."
"Master, I have never heard of fighting, hunting down criminals, and pharmacists being related."
"Master, the ghosts that dare to enter our world to kill people are probably the so-called special forces. Such ghosts are definitely not something you can deal with. I agree with you going there. But I'm afraid that if you go there, General Wang will be distracted from protecting us, and that would defeat the purpose of the rescue."
...
Everyone was talking at once, and what they said made sense. Of course, the person in charge would not speak, but the followers around them were all smart people, and they spoke on behalf of their master.
After all, they had just received a gift from Chu Fei, so of course everyone was on Chu Fei's side. Look at the information Wang Bing brought. The 12.0 military elite was killed in one encounter. This newly emerged ghost must not be underestimated.
