[Countdown: 5 Years]

...

Base, in the bedroom.

Zhang Feng sat up from the bed and looked at the text description.

It was indeed similar to what he had expected.

Reality's time had been extended again, by 2 years more than before.

Such an extended period could actually be used to relax one's inner demons, but now, the knowledge within reality might be even more extensive than in the adventure worlds.

Regarding neurology, rune research, and the collection of virtual world neuron data, not to mention big data like Martial Arts and so on.

These were all the 'vegetables' he had planted.

Now it was completely reversed, making reality more tiring.

But there were also more benefits.

At the very least, he gained something every time he returned, and achieved crushing victories within the adventure worlds.

If not for reality, he estimated that the last time-space world would have been tough.

To a large extent, he would have had to endure until the one-month non-main mission time.

He pondered.

Zhang Feng was also thinking about the 'Seeking Evil Talisman' from the last world, although it was not very useful because he could see evil aura through the Observing Evil Talisman.

This made its bonus irrelevant.

Moreover, the reality's Spiritual Energy Superconducting Detector could also detect spiritual energy, infinitely reducing its effect.

But perhaps it could be further optimized to make the talisman's sensing distance greater.

Then, if it were inscribed on the Superconducting, perhaps it could also make the Superconducting observation range further.

For example, replicating 'Various Seekings' could also increase his Spiritual Sense detection range.

For example.

His current Spiritual Sense distance was a hundred meters, allowing him to see through to a hundred meters underground.

But beyond a hundred meters, he couldn't sense anything.

However, with the talisman's enhancement, even if his sensing distance was still a hundred meters, he could 'vaguely sense' the evil aura a hundred meters away.

This was an indirect extension.

For daily searching, it had immense use.

And in terms of combat power, there was also some improvement.

It was like someone operating spiritual energy a hundred meters away, yet he could detect what technique and element they were using, and then find the corresponding counter-move.

Thinking about it, it was indeed good.

Furthermore, there was nothing much going on now, and everything in reality was stable.

Then let's first go into seclusion for research.

...

The following year.

Zhang Feng researched while consolidating his past knowledge.

After all, in the last reality world, he had only gained 15% of the meridians which he hadn't become familiar with yet, and the newly opened blood vessels were also unfamiliar.

In the future, there would be other meridians and blood vessels, plus the 100% overclocking and Inner Force circulation that he cared about.

Therefore, it was very necessary to first organize what he had learned in the past.

While organizing.

Zhang Feng occasionally checked on Qing Mountain and found that in just six years, he already showed some signs of cultivating spirit.

This was a good thing.

Once he completed Opening Spirit, he could play with others, and he wouldn't have to watch him every day.

These 'others' were the other special personnel in reality who showed signs of Opening Spirit.

With the enhancement of the virtual world and various technologies, they progressed very quickly, making up for some shortcomings in time.

Of course, if they wanted to catch up to his progress, that would be a pipe dream.

Furthermore, they could only specialize in one path and couldn't spare their minds for other things.

This situation was unsolvable.

Because fundamentally, they lacked hundreds of years of foundation-building time.

But on this day, a year later.

Just as he thought of time.

Zhang Feng suddenly realized that the Federation had been established for eight years without him noticing.

Everything was too fast.

And Dr. Wu, when he first met him, he was only in his forties.

Now he was almost sixty.

And in his vague memory, when he last sought him out alone, his daughter seemed to be only in her senior year of college.

Now she was over thirty.

And himself, he was also forty in reality.

The Gym Owner was also over fifty, and Master Wang was almost sixty.

Xiao Li was also over forty.

He couldn't even imagine all this.

At first, he always wondered why Xiao Li stopped running and why he had gained weight, but now that he thought about it, he was already forty at that time.

He wasn't in his early twenties anymore.

'How did time pass so quickly...'

In the bedroom.

Zhang Feng rarely sighed with emotion, and casually patted the Superconducting wall next to him.

Silently, the wall bulged, revealing the Ling Stone inside the drawer.

This was the new version developed just a month ago, the 'New Generation Ling Stone'.

The spiritual energy effect had been enhanced.

Currently, the spiritual energy concentration within the base was the same as in his room, both around 1.4.

The effect of large-scale deployment was completely achieved.

But originally, it was 1.2 in his room and 0.7 within the base.

The reason why 'Data Center full coverage' could be achieved was because the Ling Stone medicinal materials were now spread throughout the west, coupled with further optimization of research within the Superconducting building and the virtual building.

Finally, factoring in the maturity of mass production technology.

Currently, a 'regular Ling Stone' costs eight thousand, while a New Generation one costs twelve million.

Because the New Generation Ling Stone medicinal materials have not yet achieved large-scale cultivation.

But now, the medicinal material research and global planting bases are gradually replacing with new medicinal material cultivation.

Anyway, it's taking one step at a time, ensuring everything is normal, and gradually replacing the old with the new.

Of course, to differentiate better now, they are first defined as 'Low-Grade Ling Stone (Regular)' and 'High-Grade Ling Stone (Enhanced)'.

Currently, the low-grade ones have started civilian use, with a daily output of around five hundred million.

However, the Planning Department still has such a plan.

That is, plant the low-grade ones first, because this technology is relatively mature.

Then, when the next enhanced version comes out, use the current high-grade Ling Stone to replace the current low-grade ones.

The current low-grade ones will be completely handed over for civilian use to see if widespread cultivation can be achieved, like planting ordinary crops.

Zhang Feng also saw this matter a few days ago.

Anyway, he just found it quite convoluted, so he simply threw it to the Planning Department to handle.

By then, they can just list 'Grades 123456' for him.

Or 'Low-Grade, Mid-Grade, High-Grade, Top-Grade' would also work.

Afterward, there was an interesting matter.

Zhang Feng was currently reviewing the brief and saw that perhaps because there were more Ling Stones now, coupled with the natural dispersion of spiritual energy when some people absorbed it.

Currently, in the City where 'wealthy people gather', partial spiritual energy fluctuations have appeared in the air.

The value is around 0.0005~0.0006.

However, this value has not increased, and instead, spiritual energy has also appeared around the City.

According to the professional testing team's investigation.

The final conclusion was that spiritual energy was evenly dispersing from within the City.

It was also like the water (spiritual energy) in a small river, which, after suddenly being poured into the City, would definitely flow outwards.

When spread out like this, there wasn't much left.

If not for people using Ling Stones in the City every day, it's estimated that even 0.0005 wouldn't be maintained.

Furthermore, investigators even took specially made Superconducting flying vehicles to detect at high altitudes.

Research and investigation revealed that spiritual energy does not dissipate outwards into the atmosphere; it is locked below the stratosphere.

Although it is air, a special substance, it also has mass and is affected by gravity.

This was a good thing.

At least they knew that spiritual energy would not disappear or be wasted; the dispersed spiritual energy remained within the planet.

However, it would also sink underground, possibly forming some kind of sedimentary minerals and changing the natural environment.

For example, forming some kind of 'Cave Heaven and Blessed Land', or causing some animals to evolve.

But these were all minor details.

After reading these briefs, Zhang Feng was more concerned with 'spiritual energy won't be wasted after Ling Stone dispersion'.

So Zhang Feng also had an idea, which was to directly start throwing them out once the cost of Ling Stones completely came down.

See if it was possible to fill the entire world with spiritual energy.

Of course, this was an absolutely vast spiritual energy coverage project.

People worldwide were also constantly absorbing it.

It would basically be difficult to achieve.

Similarly, Zhang Feng also suddenly understood what the Evil Cultivator's 'blood sacrifice' was.

Perhaps they were thinking that everyone absorbs spiritual energy, and then by uniformly ending them, the spiritual energy would be released.

...

Another half a year passed.

Zhang Feng drew inferences from other cases, and coupled with already possessing Spiritual Sense and being proficient in sensing, he quickly deduced 'Various Seekings'.

The effect is about one-tenth of the Spiritual Sense range.

It can also be indirectly considered as an extra 10% increase in Spiritual Sense range, and it can grow with Spiritual Sense.

After this matter was finished.

And the matters regarding meridians and blood vessels were also organized.

Zhang Feng felt a wave of relaxation.

As for the large amount of knowledge within the Superconducting world, he could just digest it slowly.

He could gradually master it through experiments in the Data Center.

He could also wait until he was in a certain world and directly digest and practice it simultaneously.

This could be flexible.

Thinking in his heart.

Zhang Feng left the base's shielded area today, wanting to see if his friends had left any messages.

But upon checking, Xiao Li and the others had many messages.

Besides inviting him for a meal.

Master Wang's message was interesting.

A year ago (Master Wang: Master Zhang, I've left the City and am working part-time as the chief warden at the Supernatural Prison in the northern province).

A month ago (Master Wang: I'm back, the Gym Owner's son is taking the Supernatural General School exam, and he pulled me in as a private tutor).

'The Gym Owner's son is already eighteen?'

Zhang Feng vaguely remembered only meeting his son once.

That seemed to be over ten years ago, when his child was only seven or eight? At Dr. Wu's hospital?

It seemed he first met Dr. Wu around that time.

Thinking about it, Zhang Feng also felt something was off, because that child seemed to be the Gym Owner's brother's.

It seemed his brother's child had food poisoning at the time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng looked at Master Wang's message again.

He actually wanted to draft a message, 'You're already the chief instructor of the Martial Department in the City, and also a director at the Supernatural General School, can't you pull some strings?

The Gym Owner's child is our nephew, pulling some strings is definitely not a problem.

Otherwise, what are we people of this generation working so hard for?

Isn't it just to make things easier for the children in the future?

Furthermore, his father is the Gym Owner, the resources he receives are no worse than those at the Supernatural General School.'

Zhang Feng wanted to send this message, but thinking of Master Wang's stubbornness and the Gym Owner's fairness, he decided against it.

They were definitely afraid of implicating themselves, afraid of what others might say, so they made the child take the exam the hard way.

Moreover, within the Supernatural General School, there are occasionally major Gym Owners and professional special personnel from various places who teach.

This multi-project teaching resource is indeed much better than the one-on-one guidance from the Gym Owner and others.

The child wants to go, and the Gym Owner and others also want to give the child the best.

There's no problem with this, it's very normal.

So, let's talk about it after the nephew fails the exam.

If it really doesn't work, just treat him as a special admission, changing the original 1500 spots per cohort to 1501.

If he can't even provide this small bit of care, worrying about outsiders' gossip and thus neglecting his own junior, then that would truly be something.

Furthermore, it's just one more person in the school.

Those teachers teach one or they teach two, it's still teaching, at most they'll slightly allocate 0.15% more resources.

He and the Gym Owner and others, as elders and parents, just need to make up this gap.

It's a very small matter. If someone ignores his contribution to all of humanity and makes a big deal out of it instead, then that's the problem.

To be honest, facing such people.

Zhang Feng couldn't find any other reason besides thinking they were deliberately targeting him.

As for 'fairness' and 'justice', putting aside everything else, just the invention of beneficial medicine and Transforming Force freed the world from disease and strengthened bodies.

For some people who are dissatisfied with him, if they talk about justice, then shouldn't this life-saving grace and strengthening grace be repaid?

And the money for the medicine, he could return it a thousandfold, then take back his superpower, and give him the diseases he should have had.

Zhang Feng felt this was justice, and only after that could someone say he was unfair.

At that time, Zhang Feng would accept this criticism, because no one owed anyone anything.

Otherwise, everything is out of the question.

Of course, this idea of his is a bit unreasonable.

But if he were to become 'God', and then, as God, he bestowed health and divine power upon a person.

Finally, this person didn't want him to grant another person special privileges.

Then what's wrong with him taking back the health and divine power that person should have had?

However, there is also fault.

Great kindness can turn into enmity.

Zhang Feng is now exposed to the virtual world, and he is seeing deeper and deeper into these philosophical issues.

And regarding the Gym Owner's son, and the people who might scold him, it's what he thinks of as 'bearing responsibility' and 'karma'.

The Gym Owner prospered because of him, and his son enjoys it, which is the Daoist concept of bearing responsibility.

When he discusses justice with others, talking about a balance of fairness where no one owes anyone anything, that is the Buddhist concept of karma.

This is also the divergence in his thinking about the 'luck formula'.

He has also understood these two formulas pretty well.

When the runes are calculated, if the new adventure world is about karma, he will use the karma formula.

If it is a world of bearing responsibility, he will use bearing responsibility.

...

He wandered around the base, and then having nothing else to do, chose to go back.

Unconsciously, another half a year passed, and it was time for the Supernatural General School's annual enrollment.

This is a major event in the Xia Dynasty, a completely high-spec exam.

And the Martial Department in each province will also go to various schools to select people.

As expected.

The Gym Owner's child, even though he grew up under the Gym Owner's protection and never lacked cultivation materials or professional guidance.

But he was indeed a bit slow, and his innate potential wasn't very good either.

In the end, he didn't get in.

Zhang Feng saw this information within the base.

He flipped through 1500 pages and didn't see his nephew's name.

However, he did get a look at the candidates for this year.

This year's admission line for the Supernatural General School is 28 physique.

But in this batch, the person with the lowest physique is '31' physique.

Whereas for the very first batch, a physique of '13~15' was sufficient.

The Supernatural General School is raising its standards every year because there are more and more 'high school graduate little monsters'.

Even so, it hasn't reached the level of the former 'Supernatural Experimental Primary School' batch yet.

Those who skipped grades from that group are now in their third year of high school this year, with the lowest physique being '42' and the highest being '47'.

Next year's Supernatural General School will definitely be filled with these people.

However, the Gym Owner's child has a physique of 26.

Even if he were to 'repeat', there would be no chance.

...

City.

In a business complex next to the city center.

The housing price here is three million per square meter.

And it's hard to buy even with money, and hard to buy even with a superpower card.

Because the people living here are either local officials, or local heads of super organizations.

Or they are major Gym Owners from various provinces who bought it but don't live there.

Of course, there are also some global superpower competition champions who are allocated housing by the government.

These champions, being watched by global officials and organizations, are bound to become rich and powerful in the future.

And today.

With the release of the Supernatural General School's results.

A teenager was very upset, kicking stones gloomily in this complex.

Looking at his 26 physique, and his not-so-luxurious clothing, he was out of place here.

"Xiao Tang, how were the results!"

But some important figures who looked over, when they saw Xiao Tang 'strolling', greeted him warmly.

Because Xiao Tang is the Gym Owner's child.

The Gym Owner is currently the overall head of global private Martial Arts Halls and corporate Martial Arts Halls.

Some people in this complex work under the Gym Owner.

So when they encounter the 'Tai Zi', they definitely have to greet him warmly.

Furthermore, the Gym Owner's friend, Master Wang, is the chief instructor of the Martial Department in the City.

So when people from the Martial Department see 'Young Master Xiao Tang', they must also speak with a smile.

Not to mention, the relationship between the Gym Owner and the Pioneer is one of friendship.

This makes everyone who sees Xiao Tang greet him with a smile.

"Uncle Li, Brother Sun..."

Xiao Tang, seeing the people greeting him, also politely returned the greetings.

Even though his status is 'prominent', he has a very good character due to the strict education from his father and Uncle Wang since childhood.

Unfortunately, he is just too slow.

He also knows he isn't smart; despite having such a good family and resources, he couldn't get into the Supernatural General School.

He felt it was too embarrassing.

And he occasionally glanced upstairs, not daring to go home.

He was afraid his dad would hit him.

If Uncle Wang was also there, it would be a mixed doubles beating.

Master Wang is his Master, and he really dares to hit him.

Xiao Tang is very scared now.

"Brother Xiao Tang!"

Just then.

Several teenagers in their teens walked over from a distance.

Their fathers were respectively heads within large organizations, as well as major Gym Owners, and government officials.

They were a small circle, and many people called them the 'second generation of the Supernatural Courtyard'.

However, when facing Xiao Tang's elders, their fathers were a notch lower.

Their parents had also told them to call Xiao Tang 'Brother' when they saw him.

However, Xiao Tang didn't want to play with them, because his dad didn't let him play with these people.

At the same time, the person Xiao Tang least wanted to see appeared.

Master Wang was now walking over from outside the courtyard with a somber face, holding a report card in his hand, and said to this group of kids:

"You should go home, go home. Instead of practicing properly, what are you messing around outside for?"

As Master Wang finished speaking, the group of kids scattered.

After they left.

Only then did Master Wang look at Xiao Tang, who was trembling, with a look of disappointment.
