There's something wrong with me

In the evening, after finishing a meal.

Zhang Feng looked at Xiao Li opposite him and found that he had gained weight again.

Now he could truly be considered a little fatty.

"A vegetarian skewer is now twelve yuan." Master Wang's physique was now 52. Although he couldn't compare to some of the later-rising big Gym Owners, he was still a top 'Extraordinary Person'.

He had already started using the Elixir Force medicinal formula.

"It's indeed too expensive." Dr. Wu's white hair was increasing, but he was worried about something else,

"I don't have a job now, and I can't really afford to raise a family."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Teacher again, "Teacher, when can I go back to work..."

"I have a food subsidy spot here." Zhang Feng directly threw him a sky-blue card, "Don't say so much, practice Visualization properly.

As for this card, when you buy groceries at the official stores in The City, it's all free, but the quantity is limited to a family of three.

Roughly five catties of meat, fifteen catties of vegetables, rice, and flour daily."

"Extraordinary Card?" Xiao Li showed a curious expression when he saw the sky-blue card.

"Here's one for you too." Zhang Feng casually took out three more, and the Gym Owners all got one.

After all, they also contributed to the construction of the extraordinary society. Even Xiao Li had carried out major construction for local lighting.

So this 'Extraordinary Card' could be obtained.

And Xiao Li now also had a factory, not just a small shop.

He was truly a conscientious Boss, not only giving the official price low, but also providing good welfare for the factory employees.

As for himself, he just simply made a little money to spend.

For such an entrepreneur, even if he wasn't his friend, he still had to be encouraged.

An Extraordinary Card had to be given.

As for this card.

It was the 'Merit Plan' that Zhang Feng finalized two years ago.

With this card, food was free at official stores in various dynasties and regions, which was equivalent to having food provided.

And one could also apply to queue up to buy limited Ling Stone and so on.

Also, extraordinary-related drugs for medical hospitalization, such as yaochi immortal dew, etc., were reimbursed 95%.

Currently, the price of yaochi immortal dew was four thousand per drop.

Five drops could cure advanced cancer.

Compared to before, the price of the immortal dew had not only come down, but the medicinal effect had also increased under the optimization of the computing power building.

Previously, a simplified version like this yaochi immortal dew required ten drops to treat advanced stages.

Ordinary people had 50% reimbursement, and it would still cost 50,000 to 80,000 (surgery and post-operative recovery, etc.).

But now, even for advanced cancer, it was only ten thousand yuan, plus one or two tens of thousands for surgery fees and so on.

For twenty thousand yuan, advanced cancer could be eliminated.

Coupled with the various drug research achievements of various institutions and the priority coverage of Superconducting medical facilities.

Not only could cancer be eliminated for twenty thousand.

Including other incurable diseases, complete elimination and benefit to the people were also achieved for 10,000 to 20,000.

It could be said that as long as one worked, any incurable disease could be afforded.

Even for those who couldn't work due to special reasons, Great Xia also implemented a guarantee plan to cover medical expenses.

The costs were shared by all parties.

However, compared to the Extraordinary Card, these were just minor matters.

Because this card was now called the 'Lifetime Iron Rice Bowl Card'.

As long as it wasn't revoked due to mistakes, one could not only enjoy worry-free food, clothing, and medical care in the future, but also apply to queue up to experience the latest research achievements.

Currently, the total number of Extraordinary Cards distributed globally was 'seven hundred thousand'.

Approximately one person in ten thousand had one.

The standard for obtaining it was participating in large-scale engineering construction for five consecutive years and being rated as an individual advanced worker by the local engineering unit.

Especially with the implementation of the Extraordinary Card.

Now people in 'Civil Engineering' major had stood up.

The annual enrollment volume ranked in the top five.

Especially the Civil Engineering major in adult universities, which was full every year.

Because they felt that although they had no chance in the extraordinary era, as long as they could enter official engineering projects, get the card, and buy Ling Stone and so on.

Then their descendants still had a chance.

It was all about cultivating spirit energy from a young age.

Even in the matchmaking market now, there was an emphasis on 'matching doors and cards' for the next generation.

Zhang Feng was a little confused about this world.

He was confused by what he had done.

But, there were also good things...

...

After finishing his run in the evening and returning to the base.

Zhang Feng looked at the current price of Ling Stone.

Thanks to the widespread adoption of Superconducting, the further liberation of manpower, the further optimization of the quantum building, and the relatively stable Z1 energy.

Coupled with the completion of assembly lines and the large-scale construction and maturity of related medicinal material bases.

Now the price of Ling Stone had geometrically decreased, fixed at an outrageous 'sixty thousand' per piece, and the Extraordinary Card could still offset 50%.

Also, in the Planning Department's estimates, the cost could be controlled at ten thousand per piece within the next three years.

After all, their raw materials were medicinal herbs, and they required extremely high manufacturing precision.

And after large-scale planting spread in the West a few years ago, it was now all Ling Stone medicinal materials.

Superconducting also met the manufacturing precision requirements, and the building also calculated various possible elemental vibrations.

Various factors combined, plus the completion of the super assembly line.

Then a massive price drop was inevitable.

It's just that not many people could afford Ling Stone at the moment.

Because if one truly wanted to cultivate, it was one piece a day, sixty thousand a day.

Even with an Extraordinary Card, it would cost thirty thousand.

But there were also signs of benefiting the people.

This was all pushed through by the Federation on the verge of economic collapse.

Everyone truly pushed through to see the dawn.

Currently, the accounts of the Data Center had gained some stability through the recovery from Ling Stone sales.

Two years ago, it was 'negative 196 trillion Federation coins'.

Now, after two years, it was only 'negative 76 trillion'.

Look, in two whole years, the debt only increased by less than sixty trillion.

Zhang Feng felt pretty good.

Because before the Ling Stone was sold, it was 'negative ninety-five trillion'.

Now, it was slowly recovering its costs.

But Zhang Feng also understood that after the price of Ling Stone further decreased, the high-blood-pressure-style cultivating spirit would come again.

After all, we didn't calculate the R&D cost for them, nor the construction investment cost for various planting bases and Superconducting facilities.

This was the really big part.

To benefit the people, large investments had to be made.

Then the price would be low, and the costs couldn't be recovered.

It seemed like they could only fleece the super institutions in various places.

They had been eating heartily in the past two years.

Even though a lot of research funding was subsidized, they were still eating heartily.

Now they had to spit some out.

Otherwise, all parties wouldn't be able to function.

...

In less than seven days, the heads and shareholders of various super and large institutions.

When facing the dozens of extraordinary people coming from all parties to collect debts, they naturally paid up readily.

Of course, there were also people who loved money like their lives, basically not spending a single cent.

After all, the extraordinary era had been underway for almost ten years now, and that spirit of working together was basically gone.

However, after these people who loved money like their lives were taken by the extraordinary people from various places to their respective official prisons for a tour.

They then paid up very readily.

Because all parties now truly dared to take action.

They were completely operating under 'wartime' conditions.

Coupled with the will of the people and the tide of the times.

The imperial courts in various places really didn't talk about laws with you.

The various super crocodiles also knew what the 'imperial court machine' was.

If it really came down to action, they were just soft little mud figures, completely unable to resist.

...

Half a year later.

Exciting news arrived.

The first batch of Superconducting flying cars was out!

A total of ten thousand vehicles.

At the same time, the official side also released the purchasing standards.

Very simple, just two points.

One, you can be poor, you can buy on credit.

Two, you must have a card.

Really.

When Zhang Feng saw this decision at the time, his heart was completely churning. He didn't expect that he had just casually proposed an Extraordinary Card regulation back then.

And then the Planning Department came up with so many specific optimizations?

But thinking about it carefully, encouraging everyone to contribute to extraordinary construction was indeed the right path and the most important thing.

For this reason.

Zhang Feng also proposed in the second Federation meeting that the number of Extraordinary Cards issued could continue to increase, but it must be controlled effectively.

For example, the personnel originally freed up from wind power, thermal power, etc., could form an extraordinary department for 'checking merits'.

Just like the Martial Department inspected Martial Arts Halls and martial artists in various places.

From now on, this 'Extraordinary Department' would check merits.

Furthermore, this batch of ten thousand flying cars.

Zhang Feng thought about it. Besides the quantity needed by the official sides in various places, more were given to those institutions.

Although they also made money and profited from the tide of the times.

But in the first half of the year, he and others had essentially abandoned their partners after using them.

So after hitting them with a stick to make them sober up, they definitely had to give them some sweet dates (benefits).

Therefore, a batch of flying cars was given to them first.

Even if Zhang Feng didn't set the main tone for this plan, all parties agreed.

Because thinking about it carefully, they were also small research institutions. If they were all disbanded, then the current variety of drugs couldn't have been achieved so quickly.

The world needed diversification.

Zhang Feng also didn't like monolithic rule, making the world monotonous.

If it was monotonous, then a civilization had already reached the second to last stop before death.

...

The last half year.

The world continued to cover with Z1 and Superconducting, which was considered stabilizing the current energy crisis and further providing energy production.

The previous large strides of instability and swaying were also slowly stabilizing in an orderly manner.

This was a world digesting knowledge.

Zhang Feng also set the main direction: stabilize first.

Subjects like neurology, intelligent AI digital life, and spirit energy architecture, as well as other topics, were all put aside for now.

And all the Planning Departments of the Federation also came up with global plans based on the 'Pioneer's main tone.

Currently, the computing power building mainly focused on Superconducting technology and the optimization of Ling Stone.

For major large-scale engineering construction, only Z1, mass-produced Superconducting, and new buildings were needed.

Zhang Feng decided, this is what's needed, stabilize first, don't do anything else.

It was precisely this stability.

Truly, Zhang Feng also had a feeling.

The foundation of his world's civilization was slowly becoming thicker.

...

And just before a new adventure.

The over three-meter tall Qing Mountain, although it hadn't cultivated spirit.

But when Zhang Feng looked at the report again, he saw that energy was no longer 'dancing' on the verge of collapse, but instead had extra energy income every day.

Although not much, this extra income is the 'foundation' for the next big project, and also the confidence.

The accounts of the Data Center are also gradually recovering, no longer owing hundreds of billions every day.

Now it has become owing tens of billions.

This is super stable!

Moreover, technologies like Superconducting flying cars have not yet been released to units below 'super institutions'.

After they are released, profit sharing will be implemented.

If most people change cars, then it will be a big recovery.

Zhang Feng also heard the excited prediction from the Planning Department that as long as most people change cars, the Data Center is likely to welcome its first day of positive income in history!

This news is undoubtedly exciting.

Because as long as the Data Center can turn its profits positive and pay off its debts.

Then the Federation's currency system will be completely stable, at least it looks stable.

However, although the plan to release flying cars has been put in place, it will take roughly another three months before the first batch of large-scale civilian flying cars comes out.

And it was an hour before the upcoming adventure.

After Zhang Feng got this answer, he decided that no matter what technology he encountered in the next world, he would let reality stabilize for half a year first.

Thinking to himself.

After Zhang Feng finished feeding Qing Mountain, he washed up and went to bed, preparing for the adventure.

Looking at the Superconducting screen in front of him again.

These three years brought sixty new meridians, and 10% new blood vessels.

Zhang Feng estimated that in less than another six years, he should be able to reach 100% overclocking and 100% Inner Force.

The high investment brought astonishing returns.

Now his meridians are at 78%, and Inner Force is at 81%.

If he had really relied on himself to grind, both would probably be around 30% now.

So, without overthinking.

Zhang Feng looked at the upcoming adventure.

...

Opening his eyes.

The sense of technology in front of him vanished, and there was no longer the roaring sound of Qing Mountain around him.

His bedroom door was not soundproofed.

And at this moment.

Zhang Feng saw that he was in an inn in the suburbs.

The world background was the Ming Dynasty.

It was around nine o'clock in the evening.

Zhang Feng looked at a table of guests in the inn, and heard the innkeeper at the counter clicking an abacus.

He was wearing a gray cloth robe and was an employee of the inn.

Zhang Feng was used to the sudden change in identity, so there wasn't much mood fluctuation.

And there was no danger now.

Zhang Feng first looked at his own attributes.

[Age: 22]

[Constitution: 10.2]

[Root Bone: 6]

[Martial Arts: 6.2]

[Spiritual Root: 0.5]

The basic attributes of his talent were good.

After Zhang Feng finished reading the attributes, he looked at the world information.

...

[Resurrection Opportunities: 5]

[Adventure Level: 6+]

[Adventure Type: Growth, Survival, Freedom]

[Current Identity: Inn Employee]

[Main Quest: Survive five years]

[Non-Essential Quest: Obtain a low-level spiritual artifact]

[Note: For every three months survived, gain one reinforcement, maximum reinforcement choice 22 times]

...

'Spiritual artifact?'

Zhang Feng had an idea,

'Could it be weapons with stable spiritual energy structures?

I haven't made much progress on stable structures, but now I can copy them and see if I can draw inferences from them.'

Thinking.

Zhang Feng felt that if he could learn the relevant spiritual energy structures in this world, then many spells could be further optimized.

Just like 'being dispelled', and sword control techniques, they can all be further optimized.

Or reverse-engineer enchantments and the like.

Even something like Daoist talismans is not a fantasy.

Especially if there are enough spiritual energy structures here, he can completely take them to the computing power building and calculate them together with himself.

As for energy debt and the like, that can be ignored for now.

Because as long as he perseveres and pushes through, coupled with the Planning Department's high-pressure optimization, there will always be a dawn.

Zhang Feng felt it was very feasible and looked at the first reinforcement.

[1: Fortune]

[2: Low-level Yin Yang]

[3: Peach Wood Sword]

He glanced at them, none of them he had seen before.

Zhang Feng first looked at 1

[Fortune: Epic, Epic]

[Effect 1: Constitution +1, Spiritual Root +1]

[Effect 2: When encountering a fatal blow, can be exempted]

[Exemption Opportunity: 1]

[Effect 3: Gain an additional resurrection opportunity]

'Equivalent to two resurrections?'

Zhang Feng glanced at it,

'Especially the exemption among them, which is equivalent to instant resurrection without rewinding.

If I want to fight a master in a damage-trading style, it would be quite good.'

Zhang Feng felt it was good, and then looked at 2

[Yin Yang: Epic, Epic, Only appears at the start]

[Effect 1: You can see spiritual energy, as well as ghost-like forms]

[Effect 2: Spiritual Root +1]

[Effect 3: Additional 10% resistance against ghosts, additional 5% resistance against unorthodox paths]

This is good, all are battle power attributes with extra bonuses.

Zhang Feng kept it in mind and looked at 3

[Peach Wood Sword: Epic, Common]

[Effect: Obtain a weapon that can harm ghosts, this weapon is a 'Peach Wood Sword']

A weapon, not a spiritual artifact.

It should be able to harm ghosts based on some characteristic.

Zhang Feng looked at it and felt it was not as good as 2, and even if the Peach Wood Sword was a spiritual artifact, it would not be as good as finding one himself.

Directly choose 2.

Yin Yang, take this kind of resistance entry.

Zhang Feng had experienced this benefit in the ocean world and the wasteland world, and knew the importance of extra resistance.

Coupled with his sufficient knowledge, his combat power increased quickly.

Then to a large extent, he could reach the point of quickly 'exempting death'.

Just like the sound technique of the Great Buddha at the bottom of the sea.

If there was no resistance, it would have ended in one go.

After these were selected.

Zhang Feng looked at the subsequent reinforcements.

He glanced at them a few times.

Zhang Feng respectively chose [Spiritual Root +0.2] and [Digestion and Absorption +40 grams].

Whoosh—

During the selection, Zhang Feng's Spiritual Mind was also activated, and most of his meridians were opened.

And he saw the true form of spiritual energy with his naked eyes.

They were a thin mist that was almost 'sky blue'.

'I wonder if the "Yin Yang Eyes" will improve the aspect of "structure research", after all, I can see them now.'

Zhang Feng pondered for a moment and felt that although there was no related spiritual energy microscope in this world, being able to see them now was a convenience nonetheless.

At the same time.

While Zhang Feng was pondering, two very strange people came outside the inn.

The reason they were strange.

Was that one of them was wearing a Seven-Star Daoist robe and muttering incantations.

The person behind was covered with a white cloth and followed him by hopping.

When Zhang Feng saw this scene, he suddenly thought of 'corpse driving'.

But today was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

Upon seeing it, it wasn't as terrifying as he imagined, but rather a bit interesting.

"Innkeeper, give me a jin of braised meat, a plate of cooked dishes, and a pot of wine."

The Daoist did not enter the door; after saying something at the entrance, he sat down at a small table outside the inn.

He was afraid that entering rashly would scare the guests inside.

Moreover, for many people, his corpse driving entering a household was also considered unlucky.

"Why don't you come in, there are many mosquitoes outside..." The innkeeper, while clicking his abacus, looked up towards the door, originally wanting to ask the guest to come in and eat.

But when he saw that the arrivals were 'white cloth and a Daoist'.

The innkeeper was first startled, then said with a fawning smile, "Daoist master, please wait a moment!"

As for corpse drivers, the innkeeper's rural inn had naturally seen them before.

But as for matters of ghosts and spirits, he was still afraid when he should be.

"Go..." The innkeeper also said to Zhang Feng in front, "Serve tea to the Daoist master..."

"Okay." Zhang Feng was just thinking of seeing the corpse driving, so he picked up the small teapot and went.

He arrived beside this silent Daoist.

While pouring tea, Zhang Feng looked at the upright corpse covered with white cloth.

He glanced at it.

There were wisps of malevolent energy缠绕 on it, appearing a dark black color.

Because it was also the first time he had seen corpse driving, and this strange sight.

Coupled with the fact that this Daoist seemed to have no spiritual energy on him, it didn't seem like he had set it up himself.

Thus, Zhang Feng's Spiritual Mind moved, and this black energy became fixed.

It was also to prevent this black energy from harming this 'Daoist master'.

'It seems to be naturally gathered, not harmful, it seems I was overthinking.'

After Zhang Feng finished checking, he relaxed, but it started rotating regularly again.

It seemed to be controlled by someone, but this corpse had no vital energy.

This Daoist master was also tasting tea.

'Strange.'

Zhang Feng was curious, but it was not good to lift the cloth rashly, as it was disrespectful to the deceased.

Therefore, Zhang Feng once again used his Spiritual Mind to investigate.

With this movement, the malevolent energy became fixed again.

'It seems, it really is naturally gathered.

'I don't know if this is unique to the corpse driving method.'

'But now that I've tried it, I can see that although I haven't come into contact with malevolent energy in recent years, I am not unfamiliar with controlling it.'

Zhang Feng felt it was quite good.

"Zhang Feng!"

While Zhang Feng was observing, the innkeeper shouted, "Go help sort vegetables in the back kitchen."

"Okay." After Zhang Feng took one last look at the corpse and the Daoist master drinking tea, he walked towards the back kitchen.

This part about restaurants, he was familiar with.

Today, he would make something delicious for this Daoist master and see if the Daoist master had any knowledge that could be exchanged.

Like that corpse driving method, it looked quite interesting.

Seeing Zhang Feng leave, the Daoist slightly turned sideways, lowered his voice, and strangely said to the corpse:

"Senior brother, that waiter was here just now, so it was inconvenient for me to ask."

As he spoke, he asked probing questions:

"I just sensed that your energy was unstable, is there something wrong with this inn? Did it affect your cultivation?"

"No... the inn..." The corpse also spoke strangely, a voice coming from under the white cloth, "It's... that... employee... he has a problem."

"What problem does he have?" The Daoist master was curious, "Isn't he just an ordinary employee?"

"No..." The corpse's tone was a little anxious at this time,

"When he looked at me, my energy was 'fixed' and I couldn't circulate it normally...

If I didn't have the method of holding my breath, I would have surely been detected by him...

Junior brother...

This person has a problem... a big problem! Run... let's run quickly..."
