There's something wrong with me

Chapter 176 The New World [Yin Yang]

In the evening, after finishing one meal.

Zhang Feng looked at Xiao Li across from him and noticed that he had gained weight again.

He can really be considered a little chubby now.

"A vegetarian skewer is now twelve yuan." Master Wang is currently 52 years old. Although he can't compare to some of the big restaurant owners who have risen to prominence, he is still among the top 'extraordinary people'.

We have already started using the Danjin herbal formula.

"It's really too expensive." Dr. Wu's hair is getting increasingly gray, but he's worried about something else.

"I'm currently unemployed and can't afford to support myself anymore."

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

"I have a spot for a food allowance here." Zhang Feng tossed him a sky-blue card. "Don't say so much, just practice your visualization."

As for this card, you can buy groceries for free at official stores in the city, but the limit is limited to a family of three.

Their daily diet consisted of approximately five catties of meat, fifteen catties of vegetables, and rice/noodles.

"An extraordinary card?" Xiao Li looked at the sky-blue card with curiosity.

"Here's one for you too." Zhang Feng then took out three more, one for each of the museum owner and the others.

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

So this 'Superpower Card' is obtainable.

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

He's a truly conscientious boss; he not only offers low prices to the official suppliers but also provides good benefits to his factory employees.

He himself simply wanted to make a little money to spend.

Even if an entrepreneur is not your friend, you should still encourage him.

You'll get a Super Card.

As for this card...

This is the 'Merit Plan' that Zhang Feng finalized two years ago.

With this card, food is free in official shops across all dynasties and regions, essentially providing meals.

Furthermore, you can apply to queue up to purchase limited-edition spirit stones, and so on.

There are also extraordinary related drugs for medical hospitalization, such as Yaochi Xianlu, which are also 95% reimbursed.

Currently, the price of Yaochi Fairy Dew is four thousand per drop.

Five drops can treat late-stage cancer.

Compared to the past, the price of Immortal Dew has not only decreased, but its efficacy has also increased thanks to the optimization of the computing power system.

Previously, a simplified version of the Jade Pool Dew like this required ten drops to cure a late-stage condition.

For ordinary people, 50% is reimbursed, which adds up to 5 to 8 yuan (including surgery and postoperative recovery).

But now, even for late-stage cancer, it only costs 10,000 yuan, plus another 10,000 to 20,000 yuan for surgery and so on.

Twenty thousand yuan can cure late-stage cancer.

In addition, there are the drug research findings from various institutions, as well as the priority coverage of superconducting medical facilities.

It's not just cancer that can be cured for 20,000.

Including other terminal illnesses, the treatment has achieved complete elimination and benefit to the people, with 1 to 2 cases.

It can be said that as long as you work, you can afford to treat any terminal illness.

Even for those who are unable to work due to special circumstances, Da Xia has implemented a support plan that covers medical care.

The cost is shared equally among all parties.

However, compared to the Extraordinary Card, these are all trivial matters.

This card is now known as a 'lifetime iron meal card'.

As long as you don't make any mistakes that lead to your expiration, you can not only enjoy a life free from worries about food, clothing, and medical care in the future, but you can also apply to queue up and experience the latest research and development achievements.

Currently, a total of 700,000 Superstar cards have been distributed worldwide.

Only one in approximately ten thousand people has it.

The criteria for obtaining this award are: participating in large-scale engineering projects for five consecutive years and being recognized as an outstanding individual by the local engineering unit.

Especially with the implementation of the Extraordinary Card.

Now, people in the 'civil engineering' field have all stood up.

It ranks among the top five in terms of annual enrollment.

Civil engineering programs, especially those in adult education institutions, are always packed with students.

Because they felt that although they had no chance in the extraordinary era, as long as they could enter the official project, get the card, and buy spirit stones, etc.

So there's still a chance for future generations.

It's all about cultivating spiritual energy from a young age.

Even in today's matchmaking market, there's a prevailing notion that for the sake of the next generation, we need to find a match that is "of equal social standing".

Zhang Feng couldn't quite understand this world.

I've made myself so confused.

But there are also good things...

……

After finishing my evening run, I returned to the base.

Zhang Feng glanced at the current price of spirit stones.

Thanks to the widespread adoption of superconductivity, further liberation of human labor, further optimization of the quantum building, and the relative stability of Z1 energy.

In addition, the construction of the production line and the development and maturation of related medicinal herb bases have further contributed to this.

The price of spirit stones has now shrunk exponentially and is now fixed at an outrageous 60,000 each, with the Extraordinary Card offering a 50% discount.

According to the planning department's forecast, the cost can be controlled to 10,000 per pill within the next three years.

After all, their raw materials are medicinal herbs, and they are manufactured with extremely high precision.

However, after large-scale cultivation began in the West a few years ago, now it's all about spiritual stones and medicinal herbs.

Superconductivity also meets the requirements of precise manufacturing, and Xiaolou has also calculated various possible elemental vibrations.

All of these factors combined, along with the construction of the super-efficient production line, contributed to this.

Therefore, a sharp drop in prices is inevitable.

However, there aren't many people who can afford to spend spirit stones right now.

Because if you really want to cultivate, you need one pill a day, which is 60,000 pills a day.

Even with a superpower card, it would still cost 30,000.

But there are also signs that it is becoming more beneficial to the people.

This was all thanks to the federal government's efforts to prop up the economy from the brink of collapse.

We've really managed to pull through and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The data center's accounts have now stabilized somewhat thanks to the cash flow from the sale of spirit stones.

Two years ago, it was 'negative 19.6 trillion federal dollars'.

Two years have passed, and it's now 'negative 76 trillion'.

Look, in two whole years, the debt has only increased by less than 60 trillion.

Zhang Feng felt pretty good.

Before the spirit stones were sold, the balance was 'negative 95 trillion'.

We are now slowly breaking even.

But Zhang Feng also understood that once the price of spirit stones decreased further, the high blood pressure-like cultivation of spirits would return.

After all, we didn't calculate the research and development costs for them, nor the construction costs for planting bases and superconducting equipment in various regions.

This is the really big one.

To benefit the people, we must invest heavily.

Then if the price goes down, you can't break even.

It seems the only option left is to take advantage of the big institutions in various regions.

They ate heartily during those two years.

Even with substantial subsidies for research funding, the amount was still exorbitant.

Now I need to vomit some of it out.

Otherwise, all parties will be unable to move forward.

……

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

When faced with dozens of extraordinary individuals from various parties coming to collect debts, he naturally handed over the money without hesitation.

Of course, there are also people who are obsessed with money and are basically stingy.

After all, the era of extraordinary beings has been going on for almost ten years now, and that spirit of working together as one has basically disappeared.

However, after these money-grubbing individuals were taken to their respective official prisons by superhumans from various places, they were put on a tour.

That made paying the money much easier.

Because all parties are now truly willing to take action.

It's completely in a 'wartime' state of affairs.

In addition, there is the will of the people and the tide of the times.

The imperial courts in various regions really don't care about laws.

The various super crocodiles now know what the 'government machine' is.

If it really comes down to a fight, they're like soft little clay figures, impossible to stop.

……

half year later.

Exciting news has arrived.

The first batch of superconducting flying cars has arrived!

A total of 10,000 vehicles.

At the same time, the official purchase criteria were also released.

It's very simple, just two points.

First, you can be broke and buy on credit.

Second, you must have a card.

Really.

When Zhang Feng saw this decision, he was completely overwhelmed with emotion. He never imagined that he had just casually pushed forward a super card regulation.

Then the planning department came up with so many specific optimizations?
But upon closer reflection, encouraging everyone to contribute to the extraordinary is indeed the right path and the most important thing.

to this end.

Zhang Feng also proposed at the second federal conference that the number of Super Cards issued could continue to increase, but it must be properly controlled.

Personnel from previously vacated wind power and thermal power plants could be used to form a special department to 'inspect achievements'.

It's similar to the military inspection team checking martial arts schools and martial artists in various places.

From now on, this "Extraordinary Department" will be responsible for checking achievements.

Furthermore, this time, there are 10,000 flying cars.

After thinking about it, Zhang Feng realized that besides the amount needed by local governments, most of the money was allocated to those institutions.

Although they also made money, profiting from the wave of the times.

However, in the first half of the year, we were essentially discarded after we had served our purpose.

So after giving them a good beating to bring them to their senses, we should definitely give them some sweet treats in return.

So, let's give them a batch of flying cars first.

Even though Zhang Feng didn't provide the main theme, all parties agreed to this plan.

Upon closer examination, these are essentially small research institutions. If they were all broken up, the current diversity of drugs wouldn't have been achieved so quickly.

The world needs diversity.

Zhang Feng also disliked one-man rule, which made the world monotonous.

If life is monotonous, then a civilization has already reached the penultimate stage before its demise.

……

The last six months.

The world continues to lay the groundwork for Z1 and superconductivity, which is intended to stabilize the current energy crisis and further provide energy production.

The previous instability and swaying are gradually and steadily stabilizing.

This is a world that is digesting knowledge.

Zhang Feng also outlined his main strategy: to consolidate the existing foundation first.

Let's put aside topics like neurology, intelligent AI digital life, Reiki architecture, and others for now.

Furthermore, all federal planning departments, in accordance with the 'Pioneer's' theme, have put forward global plans.

Today, the computing power building focuses on superconducting technologies and the optimization of spirit stones.

In major large-scale engineering construction, only Z1, mass-produced superconductors, and new small buildings are needed.

Zhang Feng decided on this one; let's secure it first and not do anything else.

It was precisely this stability that made it possible.

Indeed, Zhang Feng also had a feeling.

The foundation of civilization in our own world is gradually becoming thicker.

……

And just before a new adventure.

The small green hill, which is over three meters high, has not been cultivated to possess any spiritual qualities.

But when Zhang Feng looked at the report again, he saw that the energy sector was no longer teetering on the brink of collapse; instead, it was generating extra energy revenue every day.

Although it's not much, this extra income will be the foundation and confidence for launching a big project next time.

The accounts of data centers are gradually recovering, and there are no longer hundreds of billions of dollars in debt every day.

It has now become a debt of tens of billions of dollars.

This is incredibly stable!
Moreover, technologies such as superconducting flying cars have not yet been released to entities below the 'super-organization' level.

Profit sharing will be implemented after the vehicles are released. Most people will see a significant return on their investment if they upgrade their cars.

Zhang Feng also heard the planning department's excited prediction that as long as most people change their cars, the data center would likely see its first day of positive revenue ever!

This news is undoubtedly exciting.

Because as long as the data center can turn its revenue around and pay off its debts.

Then the federal monetary system is completely stable, or at least appears to be stable.

Although the plan to deploy these flying cars has been finalized, it will still take approximately three months before the first large-scale civilian flying cars are released.

And just an hour before the adventure was about to begin.

After receiving this answer, Zhang Feng decided that no matter what technology he encountered in the next world, he would first stabilize reality for six months before making any further decisions.

I thought to myself.

After feeding Xiao Qingshan, Zhang Feng washed up and went to bed, preparing for his adventure.

Then look at the superconducting screen in front of you.

These three years have seen sixty new veins and another 10% new blood vessels.

Zhang Feng predicts that in less than six years, he should be able to achieve 100% overclocking and 100% internal energy.

The high investment yielded astonishing returns.

Currently, his meridians are at 78% and his internal energy at 81%.

If we really had to grind it ourselves, I estimate that both would be around 30% by now.

So, I won't overthink it.

Zhang Feng looked towards the adventure that was about to begin.

……

Open your eyes.

The sense of technology vanished completely, and the roaring of Little Green Mountain disappeared from the surroundings.

The door to my bedroom wasn't soundproofed.

And this moment.

Zhang Feng found himself in an inn in the suburbs.

The global context is the Republic of China.

It was around 9 p.m.

Zhang Feng glanced at a table of guests inside the inn and then heard the innkeeper at the counter tapping away on his abacus.

He was dressed in a gray cloth robe and was a shop assistant.

Zhang Feng, accustomed to the sudden change in his identity, didn't show any emotional fluctuation.

And there is no danger now.

Zhang Feng first looked at his own attributes.

【Age: 22】

[Physique: 10.2]

【Root bone: 6】

[Martial Arts: 6.2]

[Spiritual Roots: 0.5]

The basic attributes of the talent are all good.

After reviewing the attributes, Zhang Feng looked at the world information.

……

[Resurrection Chance: 5]

[Adventure Level: 6+]

【Adventure Type: Growth, Survival, Freedom】

Current Status: Inn Employee

[Main Story: Survive for Five Years]

[Non-essential task: Obtain a low-level spiritual weapon]

[Note: You will receive one enhancement every three months of survival, with a maximum of 22 enhancement options.]

……

'A magical artifact?'

Zhang Feng had an idea.
Could it be a weapon with a stable aura structure?

I haven't made much progress with stable architectures, but now I can try copying one and see if I can apply the knowledge to other areas.

Thinking.

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

Just like the 'being broken' technique, and the sword control technique, both can be further optimized.

Or it could be deduced from enchantment, etc.

Even the drawing of talismans, similar to that of Taoist priests, is not a fantasy.

If there were enough spiritual energy structures here, then it would be perfectly acceptable to take them to the computing power building and use them to perform calculations for oneself.

As for energy debt and such, we can ignore that for now.

Because as long as we persevere and hold on, and with the planning department's high-pressure optimization, there will always be a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Feng felt it was working well and looked at the first enhancement.

【1: Blessing】

【2: Low-level Yin and Yang】

【3: Peach Wood Sword】

I took a quick look and didn't see it.

Zhang Feng first looked at 1
[Fortune: Epic, Epic]

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

[Effect 2: You can save your life when faced with a fatal blow]

Exemption opportunity: 1

[Effect 3: Gain an additional resurrection opportunity]

'Is that equivalent to being resurrected twice?'

Zhang Feng glanced at it.
'In particular, the exemption is equivalent to being reborn on the spot, without having to go back.'

I'd love to trade blows with a skilled player to improve my fighting style.

Zhang Feng felt good, then looked at 2
[Yin Yang: Epic, Epic, only appears at the start of the game]

[Effect 1: You can see spiritual energy and ghost-like forms]

【Effect 2: Spiritual Root +1】

[Effect 3: Increases resistance to ghosts and monsters by an additional 10% and resistance to unorthodox methods by an additional 5%]

This is great; it provides all extra combat power attributes.

Zhang Feng left a lingering thought and looked at 3.
[Peach Wood Sword: Epic, Common]

[Effect: Obtain a weapon that can damage ghosts and monsters; this weapon is a 'peach wood sword']

Weapons, not magical artifacts.

It must possess some kind of property that allows it to harm ghosts.

Zhang Feng looked at it and felt that option 2 was better. Even if the peach wood sword was a spiritual weapon, it was still better to find it himself.

Choose option 2 directly.

Yin and Yang, take this kind of resistant term.

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

In addition, his ample knowledge allowed him to quickly improve his combat strength.

So to a large extent, it is possible to achieve a rapid 'exemption from death'.

It's like the sonic power of the underwater Buddha.

If there is no resistance, it will be over in no time.

Once these selections are complete.

Zhang Feng looked at the enhancements that followed.

I glanced at it a few times.

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

call-

During the selection period, Zhang Fengling's spiritual consciousness was also activated, and most of his meridians opened.

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

They are a kind of mist that is almost 'sky blue'.

I wonder if the "yin-yang eye" will improve "structural research," since I can see it.

Zhang Feng thought about it for a moment and realized that although there was no spiritual microscope in this world, being able to see it now was still a convenience.

at the same time.

Just as Zhang Feng was pondering this, two strange people arrived outside the inn.

That's why it's strange.

One of them was wearing a Taoist robe with seven stars on it, and he was chanting incantations.

The people behind him, covered with white cloths, hopped and skipped along with him.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Feng suddenly thought of 'corpse driving'.

But this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't as terrifying as I had imagined; in fact, it was rather amusing.

"Shopkeeper, give me a pound of braised pork, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a pot of wine."

The Taoist priest didn't go inside. After saying something at the door, he sat down at a small table outside the shop.

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

Moreover, his act of bringing corpses into people's homes was considered unlucky by many.

"Why don't you come in? There are so many mosquitoes outside..." The innkeeper glanced up at the door while he was calculating, intending to invite the guests in for a meal.

But when they saw that the person who came was 'White Cloth and Taoist'.

The shopkeeper was startled at first, then smiled obsequiously and said, "Master Dao, please wait a moment!"

The innkeeper, who ran a remote inn, had naturally seen corpse-drivers before.

But when it comes to things involving gods and ghosts, one should still be afraid.

"Go..." the innkeeper said to Zhang Feng, who was standing ahead, "Serve tea to the Daoist master..."

"Alright." Zhang Feng was about to watch the corpse-driving ceremony, so he picked up the small teapot and went to see it.

They arrived beside the silent Taoist priest.

While making tea, Zhang Feng looked at the upright corpse covered with a white sheet.

Glanced.

It was shrouded in wisps of malevolent energy, giving it a jet-black appearance.

This was the first time I had ever seen corpse transport, and such a strange sight.

Furthermore, this Taoist priest didn't seem to possess any spiritual energy, so it didn't seem like he set it up himself.

So, with a thought from Zhang Fengling, the black energy was fixed in place.

This was also to prevent the black energy from harming the 'Taoist Master'.

'It seems to have gathered naturally; it's not harmful. I was just overthinking it.'

After Zhang Feng finished checking it, he relaxed his grip, and it started spinning regularly again.

It appears to be manipulated, but the corpse shows no signs of life.

This Taoist priest is also enjoying tea.

'strangeness. ’

Zhang Feng was curious, but it wouldn't be appropriate to rashly lift the cloth; it would be disrespectful to the deceased.

At this point, Zhang Feng once again used his spiritual sense to investigate.

With this movement, the malevolent energy froze again.

It seems like a natural convergence.

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

But now that I've tried it myself, I can see that although I haven't been in contact with malevolent energy for the past few years, I'm not unfamiliar with controlling it.

Zhang Feng thought it was pretty good.

"Zhang Feng!"

While Zhang Feng was observing, the shopkeeper called out, "Kitchen staff, please help prepare the vegetables."

"Alright." Zhang Feng took one last look at the corpse and the Taoist priest drinking tea before heading towards the kitchen.

I'm very familiar with the restaurant business.

Let's cook something delicious for this Taoist priest today and see if he has any knowledge we can exchange.

That corpse-driving technique looks quite amusing.

Seeing Zhang Feng leave, the Taoist priest slightly turned to the side, lowered his voice, and spoke strangely to the corpse:
"Senior brother, since the waiter was here, it wasn't convenient for me to ask."

As he spoke, he inquired:
"I sensed your breathing was unstable just now. Is there something wrong with this inn? Is it affecting your cultivation?"

"It's not...the inn..." the corpse also spoke eerily, a voice coming from under the white cloth, "It's...that...waiter...he's suspicious."

"What's wrong with him?" the Taoist priest asked curiously. "Isn't he just an ordinary shop assistant?"

"No..." The corpse's tone was now somewhat anxious.
"When he looked at me, my breathing was frozen, and I couldn't regulate my internal energy flow..."

If I hadn't had the ability to hold my breath, he would have surely noticed...

Junior Brother...

This person is suspicious...very suspicious! Run...we have to run!"
