There's something wrong with me

Chapter 190 The Virtual World Created by Zhang Feng
After one hour.

The train stopped.

This is a land of the extraordinary.

From outside the car window, you can even see station staff patrolling the airspace above the station in a rare little flying car.

The sci-fi scenes before him left Liang Haozhi feeling somewhat dazed.

Because it's currently very difficult to see flying cars in other cities.

Although the construction of the ground rail has been completed, it is precisely now that the reconstruction of the computing power building and the virtual building, the continued deployment of the Z1 superconductor, and the renovation of some heavy industry enterprises are underway.

This caused the production of flying cars to slow down considerably.

Nowadays, only some government officials or employees of large organizations can purchase these rare flying cars for their own convenience at work.

In short, the popularization of 'three-dimensional transportation' has now come to a standstill.

But in the Land of Extraordinary Things, as Liang Haozhi stepped out of the station, he saw many flying cars.

Compared to normal vehicles, it can achieve a ratio of 10:1.

1 flying car, 10 cars.

These 10 cars are all basically Z1 models.

Of course, there are also gasoline-powered vehicles.

Nowadays, gasoline-powered cars have become a rarity in this extraordinary land.

Because if you want to drive a gasoline car, you have to bring your own fuel and pay a fine for 'air pollution'.

In the Land of Extraordinary Things, this fine still increases exponentially.

However, it cannot be ruled out that these oil tankers were brought in from other places.

After all, train and plane tickets are hard to buy these days, so some people drive here because they have no other choice.

In such special circumstances, there have been temporary adjustments to the current penalty regulations.

For example, if law enforcement officers determine that you are a vehicle or person from out of town, you may be exempt from punishment.

In addition, temporary gas stations were opened at several locations in the city.

In particular, the officials of the extraordinary hometown are also appealing to people not to come here anymore.

Traffic congestion in cities is very high now.

On the other hand, rare flying cars produced in various places are also being transported here, indirectly enabling some people to replace their cars.

This also led to Liang Haozhi seeing a sci-fi scene with many flying cars when he arrived, completely different from the 'ground racing' scenes in other cities.

This has also subtly elevated the prestige of the Land of Extraordinary People.

"You arrived so quickly..."

While Liang Haozhi was looking around.

The other passengers also looked around at the flying cars in surprise and marveled at the speed of the maglev train.

Some of them, who seemed like 'social elites,' were actually sitting here for the first time.

I never expected that we would reach the destination so quickly, a distance of nearly a thousand kilometers.

Keep in mind that this involved crossing three provinces.

The enormous and rapid pace of technological change has left many people feeling as if they've stepped into another world.

Seriously, if someone had been imprisoned ten years ago, in that kind of complete isolation, not allowed to watch TV news or have any contact with the outside world, etc.

And now he's suddenly out of prison.

It's no exaggeration to say that it really felt like 'traveling to the future'.

Completely imagining scenes from science can create a strong sense of disconnect and incongruity.

Although Liang Haozhi didn't feel that way, he noticed the starting price of 100 yuan for taxis around him, and 50 yuan for a sesame seed cake with filling.

He still felt a sense of disconnect.

The prices in the Land of Extraordinary Things are indeed as terrifying as described online.

In addition, there are flying cars that occasionally pass by.

He even felt like he had traveled through time.

……

According to the address on the alloy box.

Liang Haozhi walked all the way to a suburb in the south.

There is a large newly built residential area here, which was originally intended for sale, but is now being given to holders of the Super Card.

It was considered a housing allocation, and they were directly assigned to the Land of Extraordinary People.

This was the correct strategy at the beginning, but it needs to be adapted to the specific circumstances.

Therefore, it has become a kind of welfare in disguise.

After all, the current housing price in the suburbs is 800,000 yuan per square meter.

Their standard 100-square-meter apartment costs 80 million.

The increasingly severe economic isolation effect has caused prices in the Land of Extraordinary Things to rise steadily.

However, the planning department also analyzed that the price would only increase by 90 to 100 times.

If it goes any higher, then it's not a normal, sustained rise in prices like in ordinary people, but rather the result of joint intervention by some super institutions.

If this happens, the federal government will inevitably have to intervene in the investigation, and then it won't be a matter of just laughing it off and letting these people off the hook.

These matters have all been made public online, and the federal government has issued similar statements.

Liang Haozhi enjoys surfing the internet and has some knowledge of it.

But if you ask him to sell the house, he won't.

Even if it's his own, he won't sell it.

Because living here is tantamount to 'settling down' in the Land of the Extraordinary.

'I wonder if there's a gold farming function in the virtual world...'

When Liang Haozhi arrived at house number 666, he looked out the window at the scenery of the extraordinary land and the occasional flying cars flashing through the air.

They were even thinking about making a living by playing games and achieving basic survival in the Land of the Extraordinary.

After all, apart from official supermarkets and restaurants.

If he wants to study at a martial arts school in the future, or if he gets married and has children, he will need a certain amount of money to ensure that his descendants can enjoy the top educational resources in the Land of Extraordinary Talents.

……

About ten days.

Aside from eating, Liang Haozhi stayed indoors the whole time and didn't go out to wander around the Land of Extraordinary Things.

Instead, he spends more time practicing his skills and watching post-apocalyptic horror movies.

Because during this period, more and more information was released by the authorities.

He also knew that normal people would receive a physical boost when they entered the virtual world, so last-minute practice, though not much, was never wrong.

In particular, the virtual world also features a 'personal leaderboard' function.

The top 300 people receive a spirit stone reward every day.

He's taken a liking to this one.

……

The opening day will be at 11:00 AM.

The server will open in one hour.

Liang Haozhi encouraged himself with full confidence and signed an agreement with his neighbor.

Generally speaking, the two meet offline every night to ensure that both are mentally and behaviorally normal.

Even his father would call him from time to time.

Even in the game, it's okay, you can still receive it.

Because the chip can connect to a mobile phone, allowing players to see external calls and messages.

Even when someone from the outside world touches you, you are still aware of it and can leave the virtual world at any time.

However, if you suddenly have to log off due to unforeseen circumstances, or other issues arise...

There are two scenarios for going offline.

First, you can choose to make your character disappear to avoid being found and killed by other players.

Second, the character will not disappear, but will be taken over by the quantum computer while the player is logging off, and will be hidden first.

If there are teammates, they will follow their teammates and copy the player's behavioral habits and normal logical thinking to cooperate with their teammates to kill zombies.

When players log back in, the relevant memories of where they hid will resurface in their minds.

Of course, if you encounter some terrifying zombies, or offend other players, and suddenly go offline, you might want to 'host' the game.

In such a situation, given the disparity in strength, they would inevitably be killed.

Liang Haozhi frequently reads these basic game introductions and has even memorized them.

We also know that the official intention is to ensure fairness in the game and effectively protect the physical and mental health of players.

However, Liang Haozhi felt there was something wrong with this 'trusteeship' arrangement.

The saying that "you're like a human-machine," or even worse, is probably about to become a reality.

If someone is usually smart but deliberately makes mistakes on crucial matters, it might be better to entrust the task to a computer.

At least the computer analyzes the data using normal logic.

Liang Haozhi felt that this hosting service was a bit outrageous, because in critical moments, human-machine interaction was not as reliable as human-machine interaction.

For example, in a normal cooperative game, there are zombie-like enemies.

When the players see the zombies, some of them are unreliable and will definitely try something funny.

But human-machine interaction is different; instead, it takes things directly and focuses on cooperation and mutual benefit.

Even if you ignore it, it will still run; it's extremely loyal.

But for people, it's not necessarily the same.

However, if the machine also replicates that person's unreliable personality, as well as their fear and tendency to run away, then just pretend I didn't say anything.

As Liang Haozhi thought to himself, when he saw that the time was almost up, he also lay down in the specially made virtual pod.

Follow the instructions to put on the virtual chip and glasses.

They have a strange ability to fit together and won't fall off even if you move around.

……

Unbeknownst to him, Liang Haozhi had fallen asleep.

He's been so tired these past few days; it was all last-minute, intensive training, so he must be exhausted both physically and mentally.

But just as he was in a daze...

(Welcome to the virtual world)
An electronic voice suddenly rang out.

He opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar house, still in the same sleeping position.

'Is this what the virtual world is like?'

He was a little excited, and all his sleepiness vanished instantly.

Because there was no panel or operation box in his field of vision, it was just like normal.

He then touched the soft bed and squeezed his own hand; the texture felt just like reality.

The stench of blood and decay in the air made him feel nauseous.

He felt it was the most disgusting smell he had ever encountered in his life.

'System, adjust taste, 50%.'

After he felt unwell, he silently repeated a phrase to himself.

The next second, my senses felt much better.

This is the sensory setting, which is explained on the official website, but not here.

This is the official effort to increase integration as much as possible.

If it weren't for giving everyone some time to prepare, even the initial "Welcome" would have been omitted. 'According to the background, this should be the fifteenth day since the disaster began, and I'm very hungry...'

He pondered for a moment, then quickly got into character and walked to the window next to him.

Outside, there were overturned vehicles on the street and a group of zombies with rotting skin.

Not far from them, there was a small shop.

What he needs to do now is go find food.

If you can go to the convenience store, it's a one-time solution that will solve your problem for several days.

However, he had read the information and knew that some zombies had very high physical strength, which ordinary martial artists could not deal with.

This requires a certain strategy, as well as testing the physical condition of the zombies below.

However, when he saw these zombies, he felt a wave of nausea.

I originally thought that after watching so many horror movies lately, I would have become somewhat psychologically accustomed to them…

But now it seems like it didn't work at all...

He has now discovered that reality (the virtual world) is different from the movies.

But in order to experience it, to rely on training in the virtual world to become stronger, to increase various combat abilities, and then to climb the leaderboard.

So he made a decision: he would not adjust the pain level, nor would he blur his vision, and he even restored his sense of smell.

"vomit……"

The intense taste assaulted my senses again, coupled with the visual impact of the zombies downstairs, and the dismembered limbs on the street.

It made him vomit immediately.

No normal person could stand it.

Wow—

But just five seconds later, as he slowly came to terms with it...

"die!"

With a loud shout, a burly man wielding a steel pipe rushed out of the second-floor window opposite, and then, like a martial saint reborn, charged directly into the horde of zombies below.

This scene startled Liang Haozhi, who knew that the food base below was about to be captured.

This burly man's physique is at least 40!

As he expected.

The burly man, covered in black blood, quickly cleared out the zombies and shouted to the surroundings, "Are there any other players? Are there any hungry people?"
Let's form a team and head outside. I want to see what kind of zombies are out there.

Skilled players enjoy pushing through maps, exploring vast areas, and seeking out more interesting activities.

"I!"

"And I!"

Before Liang Haozhi could react, sounds came from the windows all around, and several martial artists climbed out of their windows and then nimbly climbed back out of the building.

It's not the real world that allows them to use force without restraint.

But in reality, someone who dares to jump out of a window like that would at least get a few days of "education" in the military.

"Fifty federal dollars per person per day."

When the burly man saw the group approaching, he flashed a gleaming white smile and said, "I'll protect you, so you'll have to pay me some 'protection money,' right?"

The burly man seemed to want to open a business, but in reality, he wanted to lure people down and then do some business with them.

There are currently thirty people downstairs, earning 45,000 a month.

For a strong man like him, it's all about training in combat anyway, so it's free.

"Damn, you've come here to do business?" Everyone was stunned when they heard the burly man's words.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the virtual world opened and everyone was still excited, some people started "farming for gold".

The burly man said quite naturally, "I know it will be difficult for me to climb the individual kill leaderboard."

However, in the personal missions, as long as you kill 20 zombies with a constitution of 20 or higher in melee combat each month, you will receive five Transformation Pills every month.

As long as you follow the instructions, I guarantee that each of you will receive the mission reward.

Five Huajin Pills cost three thousand yuan.

Fifty a day, that's only 1500 a month, you're still making a profit.

The authorities may be encouraging this, or perhaps they want to use war to fuel war, so that high-level martial artists have more money to buy spirit stones.

This kind of "gold trading" is tacitly approved.

……

Finally, Liang Haozhi joined in and transferred money to the burly man.

Now, all Liang Haozhi can say is, "Damn it, I've been preparing for so long, wanting to make a big splash, but I didn't expect to pull this stunt right from the start."
What ambitions and lofty aspirations, what studying hard and pricking one's thigh with an awl?

Upon meeting this burly man, Liang Haozhi knew that although he seemed to be a hardworking person, he was still far behind a professional martial artist.

The presence of a special physical constitution gives professional martial artists an innate advantage.

The burly man is a professional martial artist, but not yet a top-tier one.

But following the strong man's lead, he felt it was pretty good, so he decided to just go along with it, collect the pills for a month first, and familiarize himself with the virtual world.

After going back and forth between logging in and out, it took a month to get to know each other.

In reality, Liang Haozhi spends most of his time at home, except for grocery shopping and greeting his neighbors every day to ensure his mental health.

In the virtual world.

He was so disheveled that he looked almost exactly like the burly man and the others.

However, they did manage to set up a base and acquire several guns; the complete realism gave them a real thrill.

During this time, Liang Haozhi also counted the burly man's close-combat kills, even though the final blow was delivered by someone else.

However, based on the number of zombies the strong man crippled, Liang Haozhi discovered that the strong man had 'killed' at least 700 zombies.

The strong man's physique was not 40, but at least 45. He not only opened visualization, but also opened twenty meridians.

Such a person is already very strong.

He even asked the burly man, "Brother, with your strength, why are you helping out us newbies instead of pushing the kill leaderboard?"

Other players also have questions about this.

The burly man smiled without saying a word.

But on the 40th day, last month's list was published on the official website.

Liang Haozhi found out.

The number of melee kills for the 1,000th person was 1202, including 3 zombies with a constitution of 40-50.

The number one spot was a terrifying 2813, including two zombie mini-bosses aged 50-60.

Such physical prowess made Liang Haozhi realize that there were already many, many masters in this world.

It was only through the suppression by the military and police that peace and tranquility were maintained in reality.

If this were a post-apocalyptic world, the total melee kills of just these thousand people on the leaderboard would amount to approximately 1.5 million.

Furthermore, the official statement explicitly stated that neither government officials nor professionals were involved.

This professional is the owner and coach of a martial arts school within a large organization.

The official personnel consist of the heads and instructors of official martial arts schools in various regions, as well as special forces personnel and even more formidable bodyguards.

This bodyguard is the same bodyguard who accompanied Lao Liu and some other people.

The military, police, and armed forces did not participate; otherwise, they would not have been hacking and slashing like the others. Instead, they cooperated to find weapons and, within two days, completely overwhelmed the city.

This has already been practiced in the internal testing phase, so there's no pressure at all.

Ten thousand people working in conjunction with one hundred special forces personnel would be sufficient.

Especially while players were still figuring out what zombies were like.

Data centers and local authorities have already conducted internal drills to begin the new virtual world.

It depicts extraterrestrial civilizations and some supernatural phenomena as much as possible.

With the cooperation of military and police forces from various regions, as well as the participation of researchers, a full-scale simulation of an 'interstellar war' against extraterrestrial civilizations was conducted.

The official virtual simulation is completely different from the informal "playing house together" among the general public.

……

Two years from now.

Compared to the common people who have fun, shout excitedly, and never tire of playing in a small world.

Meanwhile, the authorities have drafted numerous contingency plans for dealing with external civilizations within the virtual world.

With the support of superconductivity, Z1, and rune technology, controlled nuclear fusion has already emerged.

All sorts of extraordinary weapons that cannot be discussed publicly, such as the spiritual energy superconducting architecture cannon and the superconducting network global pinpoint strike device, are also quietly emerging.

The even more terrifying railgun, whose full name is Z1 Superconducting Energy Interstellar Railgun, is also quietly calculating using the computing power of the superconducting quantum building and the virtual building.

These dozens of small buildings are equipped with an additional Z1 independent of the power grid and are not connected to any system.

Their location is at the very bottom of the data center and various bases, and is kept absolutely secret.

Aside from researchers and federal lawmakers, there are only about three hundred people worldwide who know of its existence.

Of course, this railgun is extremely dangerous.

When it was time to build, all parties unanimously voted to build it on their own planet.

It couldn't possibly be built on Mars or the Moon.

What if interstellar migration really happens, and then the 'Mars Lord' or the 'Moon Lord' suddenly does something to you?

Theoretically speaking, the energy attack fired by this railgun could resonate with Z1 on its own planet.

This would result in the planet's surface being 'farmed' after a single shot.

Even if it doesn't resonate, it could still cause a massive impact similar to the extinction of the dinosaurs, and even alter the stratosphere and atmosphere, plunging the planet into another ice age.

This thing is very dangerous, but for some reason, everyone still wants to build it.

This is also in case there really is an extraterrestrial civilization.

In official research on the virtual world.

Zhang Feng also obtained a large amount of data on neurons.

These psychological data are compared with their corresponding behavioral data.

Zhang Feng also obtained the neurological information he wanted from it.

Through this knowledge.

After another two years of organizing and learning.

Zhang Feng raised his spiritual awareness again, from 2 strokes to 4.6 strokes.

It's a complete qualitative change!
The range of spiritual awareness has also increased from more than twelve meters two years ago to ninety-five meters now!
A planned technological upgrade, leveraging global resources.

The road ahead is being pushed forward very quickly.

Moreover, now that the strokes are more advanced and the relevant neuroscience is more developed, Zhang Feng has decided to distribute these technologies to local governments and institutions to enrich the 'more ecosystem' of the virtual world.

Furthermore, the relevant ecological games should be supervised by the relevant authorities.

Let's leave that aside.

Now that we've completed superconductivity in matter, Z1 energy, and virtual reality, we've laid a fertile ground for the future.

The rest is all we got.

……

In December of the third year since the return.

Before the next world.

Let's gather the information and internal strength accumulated over this period and study it.

Zhang Feng roughly estimated that it would take another two years to achieve 100% overclocking and complete the internal energy circulation, which would be just before reaching the seventh level world.

The foundation is very solid.
