There's something wrong with me

You have gained an extension of time.

[Countdown: 5 years]

……

Inside the base and bedroom.

Zhang Feng sat up in bed and looked at the written instructions.

Just as I expected.

The actual time frame has been extended by two years.

Such a long period of time could actually be used to relax one's inner demons, but now it seems that there is more knowledge in reality than in the adventure world.

Regarding neurology, there is also rune research, the collection of neuronal data in virtual worlds, not to mention big data such as martial arts.

These are all 'vegetables' that I planted myself.

Now everything is completely upside down, making reality even more exhausting.

But the benefits are also greater.

At least I made sure I gained something every time I returned, and I achieved overwhelming dominance in the adventure world.

Without reality, the previous timeline would probably have been in serious trouble.

To a large extent, it will take about a month of non-main storyline time.

Thinking.

Zhang Feng was thinking about the 'Finding Evil Talisman' from the previous world, even though it was useless because he could see evil energy through the talisman.

This renders its bonuses irrelevant.

Furthermore, since even a superconducting detector of spiritual energy in reality can detect spiritual energy, its effectiveness is greatly diminished.

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

Then we can etch the superconducting material onto the superconductor, which might allow for even greater observation range.

For example, replicating various forms of "search" can also increase the range of one's spiritual perception.

For example.

My current spiritual awareness range is 100 meters, and I can see through to the ground up to 100 meters underground.

But after 100 meters, it becomes undetectable.

However, with the blessing of this talisman, even if one's perception distance is still only 100 meters, one can 'vaguely sense' the evil aura 100 meters away.

This is a disguised extension.

It is extremely useful for everyday searching.

It also provides an improvement in combat power.

It's like someone circulating their spiritual energy from a hundred meters away, yet you can detect what techniques and attributes they're using, and then find the corresponding countermeasures.

That makes sense when you think about it.

In addition, there's nothing much going on right now, and everything is going smoothly.

Then let's go into seclusion and study it for now.

……

The following year.

Zhang Feng was studying and organizing his previous knowledge at the same time.

After all, in the last real world, I had only acquired 15% of the meridians and was not yet familiar with them, nor was I familiar with the newly opened blood vessels.

Later, there will be other meridians and blood vessels, plus the 100% overclocking and internal energy circulation that I care about.

Therefore, it is essential to organize what you have learned in the past.

It's still being organized.

Zhang Feng would occasionally glance at Little Green Mountain and discover that in just six years, he had shown some signs of spiritual cultivation.

This is a good thing.

Once he develops his spiritual awareness, he can play with other people, and I won't have to watch over him every day.

This "other person" refers to the remaining special personnel in reality who show signs of spiritual awakening.

With the support of the virtual world and various technologies, they are making rapid progress, making up for some of the time lost.

Of course, trying to catch up with your own progress is just wishful thinking.

Furthermore, they can only specialize in one thing and cannot spare their attention for anything else.

This situation is unsolvable.

Because fundamentally, they lack the time to build up their foundation over hundreds of years.

But on this day a year later.

It was precisely when I thought about time that I realized this.

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

Everything goes too fast.

And then there's Dr. Wu; when I first met him, he was only in his forties.

I'm almost sixty now.

I also vaguely remember that the last time I went to see him alone, his girlfriend seemed to be a senior in college.

I'm over thirty now.

And then there's myself; I'm forty in real life too.

The owner is over fifty, and Master Wang is almost sixty.

Xiao Li is over forty years old.

I dare not even think about any of this.

At first, I always wondered why Xiao Li stopped running and why he had gained weight, but now that I think about it, he was already forty years old back then.

They're not even in their early twenties anymore.

'Time flies so fast...'

In the bedroom.

Zhang Feng rarely expressed his feelings, and then casually patted the superconducting wall next to him.

Silently, the wall bulged, revealing the spirit stones inside the drawer.

This is a new version developed just one month ago, 'New Generation Spirit Stone'.

The spiritual energy effect has been enhanced.

Currently, the concentration of spiritual energy in the base is the same as that in my own house, both around 1.4.

It fully achieved the effect of extravagance.

Originally, the temperature was 1.2 inside my own house and 0.7 inside the base.

The reason why 'full coverage of data centers' can be achieved is because Ling Shi medicinal herbs are now widely available in the west, coupled with further optimization of research within the Superconducting Building and the Virtual Building.

Finally, consider the maturity of mass production technology.

Currently, a 'normal spirit stone' costs 8,000 each, while a new generation spirit stone costs 12 million each.

Because the cultivation of new-generation spiritual stone medicinal materials has not yet been achieved on a large scale.

However, the research and global planting bases for medicinal herbs are now gradually replacing the existing medicinal herbs with new ones.

We'll just take it one step at a time, and gradually replace the old with the new while ensuring everything is going smoothly.

Of course, for the sake of better differentiation, we'll first define them as 'low-grade spirit stones (common)' and 'high-grade spirit stones (enhanced)'.

The low-grade products are now being used in civilian applications, with a daily output of around 500 million.

However, the planning department has another plan.

We'll start with the lower-grade varieties, since the technology is already relatively mature.

Then, when the next enhanced version comes out, we'll replace the current low-grade spirit stones with the current high-grade ones.

The current low-grade crops are entirely for civilian use, to see if they can be widely planted, just like ordinary crops.

Zhang Feng also saw this matter a few days ago.

Anyway, it felt quite convoluted, so I just decided to hand it over to the planning department.

When the time comes, just make a list of '123456 items' for yourself.

Or 'low-level, medium-level, high-level, top-level' would also be acceptable.

Then, something interesting happened.

Zhang Feng was flipping through the briefing when he saw that perhaps it was because there were more spirit stones now, and the spiritual energy naturally dissipated when some people absorbed them.

Currently, even in this extraordinary land where the wealthy gather, some spiritual energy fluctuations have appeared in the air.

The value is around 0.0005 to 0.0006.

However, this value has not increased. On the contrary, spiritual energy has appeared around the Land of the Extraordinary.

The investigation was conducted by a professional testing team.

The conclusion was that spiritual energy was being evenly emanating from the Land of the Extraordinary.

It's like the water (spiritual energy) in a small river suddenly pouring into the Land of the Extraordinary; it's bound to flow outwards.

Once divided among them, there's not much left.

If it weren't for the fact that people in the Land of Extraordinary People use spirit stones every day, it's estimated that even 0.0005 wouldn't be enough to save up.

Furthermore, investigators traveled in specially designed superconducting aircraft to conduct high-altitude inspections.

Research has revealed that spiritual energy does not dissipate into the atmosphere but is trapped below the stratosphere.

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

This is a good thing.

At least we know that the spiritual energy will not disappear or be wasted; the dissipated spiritual energy is still within the planet.

However, it will also sink to the ground, possibly forming some kind of sedimentary minerals, and altering the natural environment.

For example, it could create a kind of "paradise on earth" or allow some animals to evolve.

But these are all minor details.

After reading these briefings, Zhang Feng focused more on the fact that 'spirit stones would not be wasted after they dissipated'.

So Zhang Feng also had an idea: once the cost of spirit stones came down completely, he would start investing directly.

Let's see if we can fill the whole world with spirit.

Of course, this is an absolutely vast project of spreading spiritual energy.

People all over the world are constantly absorbing it.

It's highly unlikely that this will be achieved.

Similarly, Zhang Feng suddenly learned what the 'blood sacrifice' of evil cultivators was.

Perhaps they were thinking that everyone absorbs spiritual energy, and by unifying the results, the spiritual energy would be released.

……

Another half year has passed.

Zhang Feng, with his ability to draw inferences from one instance to another and his innate spiritual awareness and expertise in perception, quickly deduced the various methods of searching.

Its effect is approximately one-tenth of the range of spiritual awareness.

It can also be interpreted as an additional 10% increase in the range of spiritual awareness, which can grow with spiritual awareness.

Wait until this is over.

He also finished organizing information about veins and blood vessels. Zhang Feng felt a sense of relief.

As for the vast amount of knowledge within the world of superconductivity, we can digest that gradually.

You can gradually master it through experiments in the data center.

Alternatively, we can wait until we reach a certain world and then digest and practice what we've learned.

These can all be adapted.

I thought to myself.

Zhang Feng is outside the base's shielding range today and wants to see if any friends have left messages.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Xiao Li and his group had numerous records.

Aside from inviting myself to dinner.

One of Master Wang's messages is interesting.

One year ago (Master Wang: Master Zhang, I've left the hometown of martial arts and gone to work part-time as the chief warden of the Extraordinary Prison in the northern province).

One month ago (Master Wang: I'm back. The owner's son is taking the entrance exam for the Superb Academy and he wants me to be his private tutor).

'The museum owner's son is already eighteen?'

Zhang Feng vaguely remembered that he had only met his son once.

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

It seems that was the first time I met Dr. Wu.

Zhang Feng thought about it and felt something was wrong, because the child seemed to be the owner's brother.

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

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

Actually, I wanted to edit a line like, "You're the chief instructor of the martial arts department in the Land of Extraordinary People, and also the director of the Extraordinary School. Can't you use some connections?"

The owner's child is our nephew, so getting in through connections is definitely not a problem.

Otherwise, what are we, this generation, striving for?
Isn't it just to make things easier for the child in the future?
Furthermore, the child's father is the head of the academy, and the resources he receives are no less than those of the main campus of the Extraordinary Academy.

Zhang Feng wanted to say that, but considering that Master Wang was stubborn and the owner was fairly impartial, he decided against it.

They are definitely afraid of implicating themselves and afraid of what others will say, so they make their children take the exam.

Moreover, within the main campus of Chaofan Academy, occasionally renowned masters and specialized personnel from various regions would come to teach.

This multi-project teaching resource is indeed much better than the one-on-one guidance provided by the museum owner.

The child wanted to go, and the owners also wanted to give the child the best.

That's all fine, it's normal.

Well then, let's talk about it after my nephew fails the exam.

If all else fails, treat them as special admissions students, turning the 1500 spots per year into 1501.

If you can't even provide this small care, and worry about gossip from outsiders, and then neglect your own juniors, then that's really something else.

Furthermore, there's one more person at the school.

Those teachers teach one person, and they teach two people, so it doesn't matter whether they teach one or two; at most, they might allocate a slightly higher percentage of resources.

As elders and parents, we, along with the museum owner, should fill this gap.

It's a small matter, but if someone ignores their contribution to all of humanity and instead makes a big deal out of it, then there's something wrong with them.

To be honest, dealing with people like that...

Zhang Feng could find no other reason than that he felt the man was deliberately targeting him.

As for 'fairness' and 'justice', let's not talk about anything else, just the invention of medicine and energy cultivation that benefit the people has freed the world from disease and strengthened the body.

If some people who are dissatisfied with themselves are to speak of fairness, then shouldn't they repay this life-saving grace and the grace of strengthening?

Furthermore, he can return a thousandfold the money spent on the medicine, then take back his extraordinary abilities and restore the disease he was supposed to have.

Zhang Feng felt that this was the only fair way, and only then could he say that he was unfair.

At that time, Zhang Feng accepted the criticism because no one owed anyone anything.

Otherwise, there's no point in discussing anything.

Of course, my idea is a bit far-fetched.

But if you replace yourself with 'God', then as God, you bestow health and divine power upon a person.

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

So what's wrong with taking back the health and divine power that you rightfully possess?

However, there are also mistakes.

A great kindness can turn into enmity.

Now that Zhang Feng has been exposed to the virtual world, he is gaining a deeper and deeper understanding of philosophical questions.

Furthermore, the matter concerning the owner's son, and those who might scold him, is what he considers 'karma' and 'responsibility'.

The owner of the temple became rich and powerful, and his son enjoyed the benefits; this is the Taoist concept of karmic retribution.

When discussing fairness and justice with others, we strive for a just balance where no one owes anyone anything—this is the Buddhist concept of cause and effect.

This is also a divergence in my own understanding of the 'formula of destiny'.

I've pretty much figured out these two formulas myself.

When the runes are calculated, if the new adventure world is based on cause and effect, then we will use the cause-and-effect formula.

If it is a world of bearing burdens, then use the term "bearing burdens".

……

After wandering around the base for a while and finding nothing else to do, I decided to go back.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's time for the annual enrollment at Chaofan Headquarters.

This was a major event in the Xia Dynasty, a high-level examination.

Furthermore, the military departments of each province would also recruit people from various schools.

Not surprisingly.

The children of the master, even if they have lived under the master's protection since childhood, do not lack training materials and professional guidance.

But he is indeed a bit slow, and his physical constitution isn't very good either.

I didn't pass the exam in the end.

Zhang Feng saw this information inside the base.

I flipped through 1500 pages but didn't see my nephew's name.

However, it was a good opportunity to see this year's test takers.

This year's admission score for the main campus of Chaofan University is 28.

However, the person with the lowest physical condition in this batch is the '31' type.

For the very first batch, a constitution of '13-15' is sufficient.

The Superb School headquarters raises its standards every year because there are more and more 'little monsters graduating from high school'.

And so, it hasn't even reached the batch of the former 'Extraordinary Experimental Primary School' yet.

Those who skipped grades are now in their final year of high school. Their minimum physical fitness score is '42', and their maximum is '47'.

Next year, the main campus of the Extraordinary Academy will definitely be filled with these people.

However, the owner's child has a physical constitution of 26.

Even if I were to repeat a grade, it would be too late.

……

A land of extraordinary people.

Inside a commercial residential complex on the outskirts of the city center.

The house price here is three million per square meter.

And even if you have money, it's hard to buy; even if you have a superpower card, it's still hard to buy.

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

Or perhaps it's the owners of large hotels in various provinces who buy them but don't live there.

Of course, some global champions of the Extraordinary Games are also assigned rooms by the official organizers.

These champions, attracting the attention of global officials and institutions, are destined for wealth and high status in the future.

And today.

With the release of the results from the Chaofan Headquarters.

A teenager was feeling very upset and was kicking pebbles in the neighborhood in frustration.

Then look at his 26-year-old physique and his not-so-luxurious attire; he's completely out of place here.

"Xiaotang, how were your grades?"

However, some important figures who came over greeted Xiaotang warmly when they saw him 'taking a walk'.

Because Xiaotang is the owner's child.

The owner is currently the head of private and corporate martial arts schools worldwide.

Some of the people in this neighborhood eat under the restaurant owner's wing.

If you encounter the 'Crown Prince', you should definitely greet him warmly.

Furthermore, Master Wang, a friend of the academy owner, is the chief martial arts instructor of the Extraordinary Village.

When the people from the Martial Department saw 'Young Master Tang,' they had to speak with a smile.

Not to mention, the museum owner and the pioneer were friends.

This made everyone greet Xiaotang with a smile.

"Uncle Li, Brother Sun..."

Xiao Tang greeted the person who greeted him very politely.

Despite his 'illustrious' status, he had a very good character due to the strict upbringing he received from his father and Uncle Wang.

Unfortunately, he was just too stupid.

He also knew he wasn't smart; despite having such a good family and resources, he couldn't get into the Superb School.

He felt extremely ashamed.

He kept glancing upstairs, but dared not go home.

He was afraid his dad would beat him.

If Uncle Wang were here too, it would be a mixed doubles match.

Master Wang is his master, and he really dares to fight.

Xiaotang is very scared now.

"Little cousin!"

At this time again.

Several teenagers walked towards them from a distance.

Their fathers were respectively the heads of large organizations, the owners of large museums, and government officials.

They are a small circle, and many people call them the 'second generation of the extraordinary courtyard'.

However, when facing the elders of the younger generation, their fathers are subservient.

Their parents also told them that they should call Xiaotang "brother".

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

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

Master Wang, his face grim, strode in from outside the courtyard, holding a report card, and addressed the group of boys:
"You guys should go home, go home. Instead of practicing properly, what are you doing out there fooling around?"

As soon as Master Wang finished speaking, the group of boys scattered.

Wait for them to leave.

Master Wang looked at the trembling little hall with a sense of disappointment and frustration.
