Metaverse Evolution
Chapter 458: Foothold
A 120-meter high wall is not short, but Chu Fei has seen many 200-meter high walls, and suddenly seeing a 120-meter wall always feels a bit short.
Especially standing on the top of the slope and looking down, the city wall is even lower.
But what really caught Chu Fei's attention was that there were still a large number of residential areas outside the high wall!
This phenomenon is not seen around Feihu City and Liming City. There are no people living outside the city, and this is a lesson learned with blood.
But I didn't expect that there would be large areas of residential areas outside the high wall here, and the streets are in circles, and there are five rings!
Judging from Chu Fei's experience, the total number of people living outside the city is probably no less than 500,000.
If the beast tide comes, no one can escape.
If you don't understand, just ask. Chu Fei will not be polite to Qin Shuya, an old man with extensive experience.
Qin Shuya smiled and said, "It's nothing, there hasn't been a beast tide for more than 30 years.
Since there is no beast tide, there are naturally people outside the city.
Although there are high mountains on both sides of Hongsong City and Hongsong City is in a basin, as a hub, there are many masters here, and everyone often goes hunting in the mountains on both sides.
Within a radius of 200 kilometers, there are no conditions for the formation of a beast tide."
Chu Fei asked, "But I heard a saying that a beast tide may appear out of thin air."
"There is indeed such a saying, but the top leaders of Hongsong City seem to have some way to make some shielding.
Of course, it can't be considered a complete shielding, it should be considered a transfer. There are often a large number of alien species descending on the surrounding dozen high walls.
So, Hongsong City is a The hub, and the surrounding high walls are all resource areas. "
Chu Fei nodded slowly, somewhat shocked in his heart, "Then the two million population of Hongsong City, are they referring to both the city and the outside, or are they only counting the people in the city?"
Qin Shuya's face was a little bit emotional: "Of course, it's only counting the city. Those outside the city are mainly the residences and family areas of various caravans, mercenary groups, etc., which are managed by each team.
The floating population and permanent population just mentioned refer to the city.
Oh, by the way, although there has been no beast tide here for more than 30 years, this is the end of the world after all, and no one dares to bet that there will be no beast tide outside the city.
And there is a saying that people outside the city can be the first line of defense to block the beast tide. "
Chu Fei listened, but did not express it. If it was the first time to hear such words, Chu Fei would definitely have some indignation and other emotions. But now, it has become accustomed to it, and it is not impossible to say that it is numb.
The team continued to move forward, and Chu Fei continued to inquire about many things.
It was learned that the family residence of the Jinhua Merchant Group was divided into two parts. One part outside the city, and the elites lived in the city.
In fact, this is also the strategy of many merchant groups, mercenary groups, etc. The real elites must be taken care of. As for cannon fodder, they are temporarily arranged in the city, and their families entering the city are the first assessment target.
The goods transported by the Jinhua Merchants Group this time are mainly some rare earth elements, compressed helium-3, etc.
These goods are collected from the high walls around Hongsong City, and then divided into two parts, one is sold in Hongsong City, and some goods with high profits are sent to more inland places in person.
Rare earth elements are necessary raw materials for special equipment. Helium-3 is the raw material for nuclear fusion, and both of these things are highly profitable industries.
Of course, the huge profits refer to the entire industrial chain. The Jinhua Merchants Group only participates in the transportation part of the entire industry chain, and can get at most 20% of the profits of the entire industry.
But even this 20% profit is crazy.
Maybe these are all open secrets. Qin Shuya did not hide them and told Chu Fei.
Undoubtedly, these have won Chu Fei's favor.
There are strict inspection procedures for the team to enter the city. Chu Fei and Wu Yong were discovered because they did not have "identity cards".
Obviously, the management of Hongsong City is much more mature than that of Liming City and Feihu City.
Fortunately, Qin Shuya personally guaranteed that he was allowed to enter the city.
At this time, Chu Fei finally understood why Wu Yong said "good opportunity". It is not easy to get into such a high wall with mature management.
After that, Qin Shuya personally took Chu Fei and Wu Yong to register.
When registering, there are several levels of identity proof, which are simply and roughly divided into: ordinary people, semi-awakened, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0.
There are simple testing instruments on site. However, unlike the equipment in Shuguang College that can detect six decimal places, this one can only detect one decimal place. But it is enough.
Chu Fei's potential test was 9.9, and then Chu Fei took out the video to prove that he had the ability to refine medicine, and his identity increased by one level, and he got an identity card of 10.0.
Wu Yong's potential index was 10.1, and he got an identity card of 10.0.
In the whole card application process, there are actually quite a lot of loopholes, and your past will not be traced. Maybe it was because Qin Shuya used herself as a guarantee.
After getting the card, Qin Shuya did tell Chu Fei that if something happened to the two of them, the city lord would hold her responsible.
In response, Chu Fei just nodded and said nothing more.
Originally, Qin Shuya needed to give Chu Fei a "reward" of 140 million yuan; but Chu Fei took the initiative to change it to a house, which was the property of the Jinhua Merchants Group, but it saved a lot.
This densely populated high wall is really a place of gold.
Unlike Feihu City.
There are also rivers and hills in Feihu City. Because Feihu City was built too late and had to take care of the underground world, it had to be built in such a harsh place.
Therefore, Feihu City has a large area, but the population is relatively sparse.
Red Pine City is built in a vast basin with beautiful scenery, flat terrain, all available area in the city, and dense population.
It can be said that every inch of land in Hongsong City is precious.
Qin Shuya donated a small courtyard facing the street to Chu Fei and Wu Yong. The small courtyard has a double-story building with an overall area of more than 1,000 square meters.
With Chu Fei's ability to sense the wind, he has already detected the surrounding words. The annual rent of such a small courtyard facing the street is more than two million yuan.
In addition, Chu Fei also needs two exquisite small machine tools and 3D printing machines. In the process of making potions, there are many things that involve secret data, which cannot be customized and need to be made by yourself.
The price of two precision small machine tools is not cheap, especially in the apocalyptic environment, such high-precision equipment is even more expensive. Two pieces of equipment cost 30 million!
The remaining total money can be exchanged for medicinal materials and some general medicine refining equipment.
The total amount is "only" 140 million yuan, which is really not much for Chu Fei. You can earn money by just taking out some high-end crystal nuclei, medicinal materials, etc. from your portable space.
140 million is an astronomical figure for ordinary people. But for Chu Fei now, that's it.
After all, money is a foreign object, and the most important thing is to be able to exchange it for spiritual resources.
On the contrary, with Qin Shuya as a guarantee and all kinds of care, Chu Fei saved a lot of trouble. There are many things that money really cannot buy.
After all the busy work, it was already late at night.
But Chu Fei and Wu Yong did not rest, but were discussing the future development path.
The lights were bright, and Wu Yong said quietly while pouring tea: "I settled down in one day. This time it went really smoothly."
Chu Fei nodded beside him and said nothing.
Wu Yong: "Next, you need to carefully plan your own development plan. Of course, before you plan, I have a few suggestions to stop for a moment."
After giving Chu Fei a few seconds to think, Wu Yong continued:
"The first is the issue of cultivation. I said at that time that it is best to reach a cultivation level of 9.0 before the age of 20.
What I was thinking at the time was that I don’t ask you to reach the peak of 9.0, as long as you can barely reach 9.0.
After all, it is not easy to practice step by step to reach 9.0 before the age of 20 without relying on various technological means. What's more, the exercises given to you are difficult in themselves.
I really didn't expect you to reach such heights at the age of 16.
But your age and experience are still too little.
The environment in the inland is complex and full of crises. The higher your cultivation level, the safer you are and the higher your chance of inheriting the skills.
Therefore, when it comes to spiritual practice, I still recommend that 20 is the limit, but the new goal is set at 10.0. The skill just supports the limit of 10.0. "
Chu Fei didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, because Chu Fei also planned this.
Wu Yong: "Secondly, it is the survival experience in the inland. Your way of doing things in the past needs to change. We still have at least three years. During this time, you need to hone your behavior in the world."
Chu Fei continued to nod, this really needs to be tempered. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to get into a fight in a few words or to be tricked and deceived when we go further inland; besides, it is a small matter to embarrass a person, but a big matter to lose one's life!
Wu Yong: “The last and most important thing is the research of super three-dimensional.
Why do you need to practice to at least 9.0 if you want to inherit the subsequent skills?
Because after 9.0, we can already see the signs of whether a person has the ability to turn on super three-dimensional attributes.
This is similar to the so-called "three years old" principle.
Of course, if you just break through 9.0, you may get inheritance, but it's not high. If someone better competes with you, you will probably get nothing.
But if you can practice to 10.0 and activate the super three-dimensional attributes yourself, then the chance of getting the inheritance is 100%!
Those ‘enlightened people’ who can reach 10.0 before the age of 20 are definitely rare.
There is only one chance to enter this secret realm to obtain inheritance. "
Chu Fei nodded seriously. These three points Wu Yong mentioned are all key issues. There was just one thing Chu Fei disagreed with.
"Master, I feel that based on my current speed, I will be sure to reach the peak of 10.0 next year."
Wu Yong shook his head, "Have you noticed that your attack methods are actually very lacking? There are just a few tricks you use over and over again!
Knife chop, whip, motorcycle, sniper, flying, etc. These methods have been used since you became an awakened person, and they are still used today.
It is undeniable that you are using it better, and you have even made a lot of innovations. But in essence, they are all just methods after becoming an awakened person. "
Chu Fei stopped talking. If you think about it carefully, this is really the case. Although there are spiritual senses, infrared eagle eye spells, butterfly transformations, etc., they are basically resting on their laurels.
Wu Yong: "Since we want to study the properties of super three-dimensional, don't give up on combat methods. I have some real spells here, you can try to analyze them.
Based on your usual performance, maybe you can try to transform in the direction of an ‘enlightened person’ now.
I suggest that we take root here in the next two to three years.
The Jinhua Business Group is currently at a low point, and this opportunity is just right for us.
Two or three years is just right. At this time, it is not enough to develop into a struggle for power, and it is just in the honeymoon period.
After all, the two of us have a combat effectiveness of 10.0, which is also an important supplement to the combat effectiveness of the Jinhua Merchant Group.
We can provide medicines, etc. to promote the development of the Jinhua Business Group; and we can use the Jinhua Business Group to obtain spiritual resources. "
Chu Fei thought carefully for a while and then said: "The location of Hongsong City is just right, the strength and scale of the Jinhua Business Group are just right, everything is just right.
Yes, just think of this as a springboard into the interior, a temporary but important foothold.
Start here to learn how things are done in the outback and more.
Then, get stronger step by step! "
Wu Yong smiled and said, "This does not carry any psychological burden. This is actually equivalent to the position of a consultant or a guest. It is a very common phenomenon in the interior."
After deciding on a strategy, Chu Fei and Wu Yong quickly took a rest.
It can be said that Chu Fei has not relaxed at all for this period of time, and now he can finally rest assured.
He took out some simple equipment from the storage space to alert him, and at the same time aroused his deputy brain's vigilance, and then Chu Fei fell asleep.
The accessory brain is developed using the liver. The internal organs of the human body are born with the characteristic of being open all year round. So even if Chu Fei has fallen asleep, his assistant brain is still running and keeping vigilant.
Chu Fei slept until dawn and felt refreshed. We must admit that sleeping is the best way to rest. This is the "ability" that life has evolved over hundreds of millions of years.
When I went out to the living room, I saw a message on the screen in the living room. It was from Qin Shuya, asking Chu Fei to contact her when he woke up. The two small precision machine tools Chu Fei wanted, as well as some general equipment, measuring instruments, instruments, and even computers, were all ready.
Chu Fei clicked on the screen, and Qin Shuya's profile picture immediately appeared with a smile on his face, "Captain Chu is awake, did you sleep well last night?"
Captain Chu?
Chu Fei raised his eyebrows, "Did you check my heels last night?"
"Please forgive me. Because the Jinhua Business Group can no longer withstand the storm."
Chu Fei nodded lightly, "Understood. Let's do this. If you have time, come over and let's talk about specific cooperation methods."
Yesterday was just a preliminary intention, but now that Qin Shuya found out where Chu Fei was, Chu Fei was ready to ask for a price.
In just ten minutes, Qin Shuya, still dressed in military uniform, appeared in person in front of Chu Fei and apologized again, and then gave him a gift: two bottles of intermediate resurrection potion, obviously for Wu Yong.
Chu Fei smiled politely.
After sitting down, Qin Shuya directly took out a basic information on Hongsong City's special medicines, including raw materials, medicine refining efficiency, prices, etc.
Chu Fei was surprised, "The preparations are quite complete. Captain Qin didn't rest last night?"
Qin Shuya sighed, "With so many things happening, there is no time to rest."
While sighing, Chu Fei saw the fatigue and weakness flashing in the corner of Qin Shuya's eyes.
Chu Fei nodded slightly. Now almost everything about the Jinhua Business Group rests on Qin Shuya's shoulders.
However, Chu Fei didn't want to catch all the fish, and he didn't bother to do so. What's more, the current Jinhua Business Group really can't squeeze out much profit, at least the current Jinhua Business Group cannot support Chu Fei's cultivation resources.
After looking at Zilai, Chu Fei directly circled the violent potion, red flame potion, and primary resurrection potion, and said: "I can refine these three potions. Among them, the violent potion and red flame potion can be refined to 9.0 high-level quality and below.”
Qin Shuya looked at these three potions and was a little reluctant, "Can't they reach 10.0?"
Chu Fei: "It's still possible to refine the 70% unqualified potion. But I can't refine the potion every day.
I thought about it last night and thought I should go the boutique route. Be good to me and be good to you.
The current Jinhua business group is afraid that it does not have the capital, not enough mature team, and not enough time to fight a price war with those mature pharmaceutical manufacturers.
So we must take the boutique route. "
Qin Shuya was thinking. What Chu Fei said is right, but high-quality routes can easily cause too many uncontrollable risks. Chu Fei can just pat his butt and leave, but what about the Jinhua Business Group?
Watching Qin Shuya think, Chu Fei waited silently.
In fact, before last night, Chu Fei had also thought about refining unqualified potions to obtain resources. Wu Yong had planned this before.
But plans don't change as fast as they do. Now with the Jinhua Business Group and the plans Wu Yong mentioned last night, Chu Fei had to give up his original plan.
After much deliberation, the best way is to take the boutique route.
As for danger, of course there is. But time waits not for us.
Practicing spiritual practice requires too many resources. If it keeps growing, it will starve to death.
A full minute passed before Qin Shuya took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's take the boutique route. We can hold a special small auction."
Chu Fei shook his head slightly, "If high-quality products can only appear occasionally, there is nothing wrong with the auction. But if so-called high-quality potions can appear continuously, then the price must be clearly marked.
But we can set a ‘priority threshold’. If we can get the elixir we need or other valuable items, we can trade them first. "
Qin Shuya nodded, "That's true. By the way, do you need someone to take care of you here?"
Chu Fei looked at the empty yard around him, thought for a while and nodded: "Let's arrange a dozen ordinary people, just a little smart. Let's break through the first limit."
"Okay." Qin Shuya didn't bargain.
After discussing a series of details, the two sides signed a simple agreement.
Soon, a transport vehicle arrived, and all the equipment Chu Fei needed was delivered, and the decoration team also came.
In the midst of the busyness, Chu Fei was directing while feeling something: Is it considered entering the inland now? It seems that there is nothing; but there is no one around who can be trusted, which is somewhat uncomfortable.
