Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Secondly, Ma Xianhong's advocacy of "education for all" is a trap. The attitude of the authorities towards people with extraordinary abilities is just like that described in martial arts novels, believing that "heroes use martial arts to break the law" and "those who possess weapons will inevitably have murderous intent."

In fact, this is true in most cases. People with power are prone to arrogance. For details, refer to the transformed superhumans created by Ma Xianhong. Once they gained power, their mentality became inflated, and they felt that superhumans who came from normal cultivation were nothing special.

This type is relatively better; they are just a little arrogant. Another, more serious type of transformed superhuman is someone who truly "possesses a weapon and has murderous intent," and after gaining power, seeks revenge on their former enemies.

Therefore, Ma Xianhong must be kept in check to prevent him from causing a lot of trouble like a wild horse.

Even though he is currently among the top tier of superhumans, he doesn't care about the "company's" attitude, but he doesn't want to go against the "company's" backer.

Firstly, there's no need; secondly, there's no capability.

Moreover... if there's an opportunity for cooperation, there's no need to strain relations.

If we can use simulators to learn martial arts techniques, why can't we use them to learn other subjects, like physics...?

"Although my physics grades are a bit bad..."

As his thoughts drifted, Fang Rui muttered to himself that he was prepared to make progress little by little, after all, physics was a profound subject.

He can confidently say that it is impossible to achieve the desired result in one step; at most, a single simulation can improve his high school level of physics knowledge to a level close to that of a university student.

However... if his knowledge accumulates to a certain level, he might be able to create various advanced technologies seen in movies, such as Tony Stark's holographic projection operation technology and a basic version of the Arc Reactor, the full-dive technology in Sword Art Online... or other technologies.

Any technology that doesn't exist in the world today but is useful can be traded.

The only problem is... it's easy to get yourself trapped.

However, this situation of being "trapped" is different from that of a "company". One company sees you as a source of chaos that needs to be controlled, while the other sees you as a treasure that needs to be protected.

"No matter what, it's pretty bad for me."

Fang Rui thought for a while and postponed the option of trading techniques. He wouldn't do that until he figured out a solution to the aforementioned problems, but learning new knowledge could start sooner rather than later...

"and many more……"

Fang Rui pressed his temples: "What was I thinking at the beginning?"

Often, when you're thinking about a problem, your thoughts just slip off course like you've stepped on a banana peel.

"Oh, right, I was thinking about creating a clothing brand. How did my idea of ​​starting a company veer off into researching new technologies?"

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Fang Rui still couldn't figure it out.

However... Fang Rui wasn't too worried about starting a company, because many villagers were owners of small and medium-sized enterprises, so he could just let them handle it.

"Since I don't need to worry too much, let's make a decision. Anyway, the wool will need to be processed after the farm is set up, so it's good to make arrangements sooner rather than later."

With that thought in mind, Fang Rui added a note to his memo. Of course, he also paid attention to the image in the magic artifact, the One-Eyed Mirror, but unfortunately, there was still no trace of the "elf".

Animals that can become "spirits" or monsters are very rare, and the Changbai Mountains are vast. Not to mention throwing dozens of animals in, even hundreds of animals could hide very well.

"Staring at the screen all the time is boring. I should have brought a human assistant with me."

As Fang Rui complained, a young driver a dozen kilometers away suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and looked somewhat puzzled.

Hearing Fang Rui's words, Lü Huan, who was not far away, slowly exhaled, stopped exercising, turned to look at Fang Rui, and said expressionlessly, "Don't expect me to watch the screen for you."

"I haven't said anything yet," Fang Rui said helplessly.

"I was just giving you a heads-up, and it saved you a lot of trouble. Remember to thank me."

Lu Huan walked back to Fang Rui's side, sat on the folding stool, took out her phone (which had no signal), glanced at it, put it back, and then looked at Fang Rui and asked, "Do you have anything to pass the time with? Like a book or something?"

"No books..." Fang Rui's answer made Lü Huan look disappointed, but the words that followed quickly brought a smile to her face, "But there are game consoles and solar-powered power banks."

"When did you buy it?" Lu Huan asked curiously as he took the game console from Fang Rui.

In the past few days, apart from sleeping, she has spent the rest of her time by Fang Rui's side and has not seen him go to buy any game consoles.

"I bought it a long time ago. Life in the village is actually quite boring."

Fang Rui helplessly spread his hands. In the beginning, Biyou Village didn't even have a TV or a computer. You could only watch anime and movies on your phone. But the internet speed in the area where Biyou Village was located was also quite bad. Watching a 20-minute anime would be choppy and intermittent, taking more than 30 minutes.

But he couldn't possibly study magical artifacts and divine mechanisms all day long. Even Village Chief Ma, that tech geek, wouldn't study divine mechanisms all day long.

So... is there a problem with him asking someone to buy him some game consoles?

"Village?"

Lü Huan extracted the key words from Fang Rui's words, and asked while turning on the game console.

“I also live in the village, is there a problem?” Fang Rui asked.

Lu Huan looked at the game console screen and asked, "Can you tell me about it? I'm quite curious about the village you live in."

"It's better if you go see for yourself." Fang Rui wasn't interested in talking about Biyou Village, after all, he was a bit of a homebody and didn't know much about the village.

"you……"

Before Lü Huan could finish speaking, Fang Rui suddenly stood up, leaning slightly forward, looking somewhat surprised.

Seeing Fang Rui's expression, the thought that had been welling up in her mouth quickly changed, and Lü Huan asked, "What did you see?"

"I saw a squirrel out foraging for food."

"Is it strange to see a squirrel?" Lü Huan didn't quite understand what was so exciting about a squirrel.

"That was a squirrel that had attained Qi."

Lu Huan suddenly fell silent. She recalled her conversation with Fang Rui, and her voice was somewhat dry: "The little animals you came to the mountains to find, they wouldn't be animals that have obtained Qi, would they?"

As someone from a large family, Lü Huan had some knowledge of animals that possessed Qi.

Chapter 38 Catching a Little Squirrel

All things in the world possess Qi, but it is extremely rare and difficult for animals to obtain Qi...

Unlike humans, they are not born with intelligence. Therefore, if they want to obtain Qi, they must first encounter a great opportunity to open their minds. However, animals are not without their advantages. Once animals with simple nature obtain Qi, their progress is actually faster than that of humans...

Therefore, even animals that have only been practicing Qi for a few years should not be underestimated.

Fang Rui overlooked this point; he had no idea how quickly the Qi-attaining animals were progressing in their strength.

When the automaton saw the squirrel, the squirrel also raised its head, holding a nut in its two front paws, its dark eyes looking at the strange humanoid object walking towards it.

What the hell is this?

A squirrel looked at the "Kabuto," a hint of doubt flashing in its dark little eyes, as if it were a creation of humans.

As one of the few "spirits" born in the new century, the little squirrel is different from its predecessors. It does not live in seclusion deep in the mountains. It occasionally goes to the outer edge of the mountains, so it does not know much about the outside world, but it is not completely ignorant either.

When it is in the presence of humans, it knows that it needs to play the role of an ordinary little animal.

With its head tilted, it looks adorable, as if it's just an ordinary squirrel.

"Nice to meet you, how should I address you?"

The mechanical doll named Kabuto stopped in front of a tree and looked up at the squirrel crouching on the branch.

However, there was no need to pretend when facing an alien. The squirrel's expression immediately became serious, although Fang Rui did not notice the change in its expression, which remained as cute as ever.

"An extraordinary person? You can call me Song Wu."

Song Wu's voice was similar to that of a boy going through puberty. Judging from the way he spoke, he probably wanted to appear serious, but unfortunately, his appearance and voice did not make Fang Rui feel any seriousness at all.

"Hello Song Wu, I am..." Fang Rui, who was talking to the squirrel using a communication device installed in the mechanical puppet, suddenly stopped. A few seconds later, his voice rang out again: "Mask."

In the world of martial arts, having a secondary account is very important.

However, Fang Rui, who was terrible at coming up with names, didn't know what to name for himself, so he simply borrowed the name of a certain technology.

It makes sense, really. The unfinished technology called "Mask" borrows the power of certain beings, while "Elf" is related to the art of summoning spirits.

Thinking about it this way, the name does match "elf" quite well.

mask?

Is there anyone else with that name?

The little squirrel frowned, realizing that things weren't so simple. It wasn't some ordinary animal that knew nothing, and it immediately understood that the creature in front of it wasn't telling the truth.

But it didn't care. They were just strangers it met by chance; there was no need to worry about them. It might not even see them a second time.

"Hello, Mask, is there something you need?"

The squirrel nodded slightly to indicate that it understood, and then asked directly.

It didn't like this person who was lying all the time, but as a well-mannered squirrel, it didn't leave immediately.

"I just wanted to talk to you about something..."

Fang Rui's voice came from within the mechanical puppet, followed by another voice from above: "Some simple matters..."

The squirrel suddenly raised its head and saw a blue light descending from the sky. It instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but as soon as it raised its left leg, its whole body tilted slightly to the left. Before its left foot could land, the blue light entered its body, and it immediately lost control of its Qi.

"Hello~ I'm Mask."

Wearing a mask and smiling, Fang Rui slowly descended from the air, stepping on a ruler. He waved a few times at the little squirrel, seemingly to express his friendliness.

"You..." The squirrel looked at Fang Rui, then glanced down at the mechanical puppet, indicating that it was somewhat confused.

However, Fang Rui had no intention of explaining. As a villain in his current character setting, he knew that villains die from talking too much, so he simply raised his right hand and stretched it out forward.

A talisman was instantly written in the air before his palm, transforming into a stream of light that entered the squirrel's forehead.

"Just get some sleep, and you'll forget all about it when you wake up."

This was the last thing the squirrel heard before it passed out. The only thought left in its mind was, "What are you trying to do to me, you bastard?" Unfortunately, it couldn't shout those words out.

The unconscious squirrel went limp and fell forward, plummeting from the branch to the ground. Kato, who was standing under the tree, reached out and caught the squirrel, cradling it in his hands.

Floating in the air, Fang Rui slowly descended to a position about five centimeters above the ground, his gaze falling on the little squirrel. He reached for his waist with his right hand, his fingertips brushing across the surface of the sac.

The next second, Lü Huan, who was inside the food pouch, was released and landed on the ground covered with fallen leaves.

A talisman was thrown, and the unconscious Lü Huan immediately woke up. Smelling the scent of soil and rotting leaves, and looking at the withered leaves so close at hand, Lü Huan's eyes twitched.

Slamming his fist on the ground, a few withered leaves were whipped up by the strong wind. Furious, Lü Huan sat on the ground, glaring at Fang Rui: "...You've gone too far! Is it so troublesome to fly with me? Was it necessary to knock me unconscious and stuff me into your food pouch?"

"Mainly for convenience."

Fang Rui's casual remark made Lü Huan even angrier. Before the other party could unleash a torrent of words, Fang Rui quickly changed the subject: "Sorry, sorry, I won't do it again. Let's take care of business first."

Following the direction Fang Rui pointed, a small squirrel came into her view.

Recalling her conversation with Fang Rui not long ago, Lü Huan had a guess about the squirrel's identity: "Don't tell me it's an elf?"
