There's something wrong with me

“Call number one, do not approach without my command.”

Because he didn't know where the mother bear was.

Zhang Feng chose to wait at the cave entrance and took out the walkie-talkie, telling the helicopter that was about to arrive to leave, so as not to scare the cub and the mother bear, who was somewhere unknown.

Zhang Feng could sense that it was extremely panicked.

If it was panicked about him...

Then during the subsequent Ling Nian transfer, it would inevitably resist, causing the Ling Nian to become unstable and ultimately harming it.

Zhang Feng had raised Green Mountain before and understood a lot about the method of Beast Taming.

He also knew that Green Mountain was truly a silly bear, so easily tamed without any cunning.

But this bear now had 'spiritual nature'.

Spiritual nature was a good thing for cultivating spirit, but a bad thing during the initial contact period.

Zhang Feng also suddenly realized that Beast Taming was truly difficult.

Because he had not yet reached the 'one-click enlightenment' level of 'Immortal's Guidance'.

If he truly reached that level, the little white bear would surely be grateful to him.

But now, it was more about getting it to accept him in its heart, and then accept the Ling Nian.

All cultivating spirit methods were very difficult and complex.

Every single one was a vast body of knowledge and deep learning.

'I wonder how Ling Shan Great Immortal tamed the Rats back then?'

While looking at the scared bear cub, Zhang Feng was thinking about things in the Dan Jin World.

'It's a pity, after parting ways with Ling Shan Great Immortal back then, I don't know where he went.

Otherwise, I could go back and ask for some guidance.

Including when I met Ling Shan Great Immortal, I was too careless and didn't ask enough details.

But now I know that whether it is cultivating spirit, or Beast Taming, which is a branch, these are all profound subjects. If you study them carefully, there is actually no distinction between superior or inferior.'

Zhang Feng thought to himself, sorting out his mistakes.

This was also a kind of systematic arrangement of knowledge, which could help him better clarify the sources of his knowledge acquisition.

"Wah wah..." The little white bear cub didn't know so much; it was still crying, still wanting to run.

Zhang Feng was still blocking the entrance and took out the walkie-talkie, preparing to ask the bear cub breeding expert who was accompanying him how to handle this situation.

Although a bear with spiritual nature was definitely different from an ordinary bear...

But asking couldn't hurt.

...

After more than ten minutes, it was tired from crying and made a whimpering sound like a puppy, curling up into a ball again.

There were still a few small fish in front of it, which Zhang Feng had caught for it, but it wouldn't eat them.

Zhang Feng also had a headache and didn't dare to easily transfer Ling Nian to it.

'If it keeps not eating, it will probably get sick from hunger.'

Zhang Feng felt that catching a cub was so difficult, and now he missed Green Mountain.

Being a little silly was actually quite good.

As for this one...

Let's just tough it out for now.

I'll look at you, you look at me, like 'training a hawk'.

Only, true hawk training is not letting them eat or sleep, just one person and one hawk toughing it out on willpower to make the hawk submit.

But Zhang Feng was a little reluctant to let the bear cub go hungry, so he pushed the small fish forward towards its body again.

It still didn't eat.

So, Zhang Feng didn't bother with it anymore.

Now it was more about waiting for its mother.

If the mother bear was still around and came back, then the mother bear would be sent to a specialized breeding park.

This would prevent problems later if the cub cultivated Spiritual Mind and couldn't find its mother.

But after waiting for a day, its mother didn't come back.

But it ate something.

Another day passed.

Zhang Feng also hid in its ice cave, accompanying it while waiting for its mother, feeding it small fish, and stroking its little head again.

Zhang Feng felt that he was touching it with genuine emotion.

After waiting for three days, Zhang Feng stopped waiting, knowing that the mother bear was basically gone.

At night.

He carried it and took it away; it didn't fuss or cry, just nestled in Zhang Feng's arms, looking at Zhang Feng curiously with wide eyes.

He also tried inputting a small amount of Ling Nian, and it didn't resist; instead, it circulated very harmoniously within its body.

This was a manifestation of high talent in all three areas.

Zhang Feng suddenly felt that waiting for three days was quite worthwhile.

He estimated it again.

Zhang Feng felt that its bone structure should be 1, Martial Arts 1, and Spiritual Root 2.

Intelligence was 3.5.

This was already quite good, because the bear type demon race inherently had strong physiques, so raising it and cultivating slowly would be fine.

Furthermore, Zhang Feng felt that as long as he guided it, talent could be completely replaced by knowledge.

Knowledge was the most important growth attribute.

Everything else served knowledge.

...

"Wah wah..."

After getting into the 'relatively warm' helicopter, facing the scrutinizing gaze of the accompanying personnel...

The little bear was a little scared and squeezed hard into Zhang Feng's arms.

Zhang Feng continuously transferred Ling Nian, improving its physique.

Because polar bears could not tolerate temperatures above 32 degrees Celsius.

Even at 21 degrees Celsius, they would experience severe heat stress.

Although the temperature inside the helicopter was now ten degrees, it would be higher after leaving the Arctic Ocean.

This needed to be cultivated.

And under the circulation of Ling Nian...

Zhang Feng was repairing its skin's adaptability, or rather, making it better at 'dissipating heat'.

Plus, it was still young and could be corrected.

"Little Green Mountain."

Zhang Feng also called it Green Mountain, just Little Green Mountain.

Then, while transferring Ling Nian, he stroked its little head.

Zhang Feng felt it was quite fun.

So, let's begin cultivating spirit.

The bear cub was a pet in reality and could be raised continuously.

Zhang Feng wanted to see how far he could raise it.

...

One day later, they returned to the base.

When the main door opened...

The reaction of the research personnel who were working in the hall when they saw Director Zhang holding the white bear was completely stunned.

After a second of愣, they all bowed.

"Hello, Director Zhang!"

"Director Zhang!"

They greeted him and looked at the little white bear curiously.

After encountering several strangers in the helicopter, the little white bear was still a little shy, but it was also secretly looking at the 'beeping' instruments in Zhang Feng's arms.

...

Upon arriving at the office...

Zhang Feng's Ling Nian circulation never stopped, continuously dissipating heat for the little white bear.

About half a minute later, Liu arrived.

He was also stunned when he saw the little white bear in Zhang Feng's arms.

"Director Zhang... this of yours?"

He didn't know how to describe it, so he could only boldly depict it: "Are you going to raise a large fierce 'pet' in the base?"

As he spoke, seeing Director Zhang with a doting expression like raising a son, he said with great worry: "Director Zhang... our people are all researchers with thin arms and legs. Even the special personnel, they... they..."

He wanted to say, if Director Zhang wasn't around, and if this large fierce beast went mad again, could they shoot it with a powerful tranquilizer?

From a normal perspective, it was certainly possible.

But Zhang Feng happened to be a Pioneer, and it was his first time raising an 'son-like' pet.

Then this became difficult, and extremely difficult.

Because they didn't know the 'level of treatment' Director Zhang had for his own pet.

If they accidentally injured this bear, and Director Zhang blamed them later, then it would be blame.

Given Director Zhang's current status, his contribution to the development of human civilization, and his personal strength...

If Director Zhang got angry, there was no need for any reason.

What Liu was worried about now was this little bear, and he didn't know exactly how Director Zhang planned to arrange things.

"Don't worry."

Zhang Feng saw Liu's troubled look, but he already had a plan: "It will stay in my room, but its daily food needs to be increased. Let's temporarily set it at twenty pounds of cooked meat.

In the future, I will also teach him, let him try to cultivate Ling Nian, and adapt to human life."

"Teach?"

Liu paused, then blurted out in surprise: "Are you raising a demon beast?"

"Mm."

Zhang Feng didn't deny it, "It's what I told you about before, raising demons with Spiritual Mind."

Zhang Feng had told Liu about cultivating spirit before.

Including the planning department and some official high-level officials, they all knew.

Because several years ago, when Zhang Feng performed the immobilization technique in a foreign country, he used Ling Nian.

Regarding cultivating spirit, Zhang Feng had also passed it on to some trustworthy key personnel from various parties.

But after several years, none of them had cultivated it successfully.

After all, to cultivate spirit, one must first have a Spiritual Root, then have a calm mind, then learn more complex Visualization, and finally guide the Qi into the spirit.

A whole set down, all four were key points, indispensable.

And to cultivate it successfully, one had to look at least fifty years or more.

Of course, if one could Visualization and had a Spiritual Root, then it depended on luck.

Enlightenment might be instantaneous, and Visualization would turn into Spiritual Mind.

Or it might be decades of hard work.

Zhang Feng was currently cautious and did not spread this method to the entire population, also to prevent some bad people from suddenly having an enlightenment.

Then this suddenly acquired strength might trigger some kind of backlash, like 'sudden windfall'.

Therefore, regarding spiritual cultivation, before virtual reality technology (neurology), it would still not be spread to the entire population.

As for raising demons...

It was best to raise them himself.

He was familiar with it, he was a veteran, and had very rich experience.

...

In a blink of an eye, a month passed.

Inside the office.

Zhang Feng looked at Little Green Mountain, who was dismantling his office desk, and felt that whether he was raising it or not, at least the office desk and chairs could be replaced with Superconducting ones first.

Truly, he didn't know why this child loved to dismantle the house so much.

Within this month, he had just gone out for a little while, and when he came back, all the tables and chairs were gone.

"Roar roar..." Little Green Mountain was now one and a half meters tall, growing very fast, and was also very confused, shaking the fragments of the wooden table in front of Zhang Feng, as if asking a question.

Zhang Feng didn't understand and could only turn into a long sigh of silence in his heart.

Little Green Mountain was very curious; he saw his 'father?' 'tapping' these pieces of wood with his finger every day, and then a delicious meal would be delivered.

Then he saw his dad go out today, so he wanted to 'tap tap tap' to hunt for his dad.

But now he had pressed the wood into pieces, and the food still hadn't come.

So he was very curious.

...

Two days later.

In the morning.

The customized set of Superconducting tables and chairs were all delivered.

Including the door to Zhang Feng's bedroom, which was also Superconducting.

Because yesterday Zhang Feng was on a voice call with Liu in the bedroom and didn't come out for a long time.

Little Green Mountain was afraid something had happened to his dad, so he opened the door with a slap.

Well, that was good, it was replaced too.

And Zhang Feng's office was also expanded, with a place for Little Green Mountain to sleep and play.

Inside, there was a complete set of Superconducting beds, a simulated Superconducting cave, and several Superconducting toy fish.

The quantity of these Superconducting materials could build several Superconducting cars.

He originally wanted to get a Superconducting pool, but he was afraid he would get water everywhere, so he gave up on that idea.

Zhang Feng looked at the room and was quite satisfied; at least the small Green Mountain wouldn't be damaged if he hit it.

"I'm going out, you stay home and behave yourself."

Afterward, Zhang Feng scanned the area, saw that everything that could be dismantled had been protected, then instructed him and headed towards the lowest level of the base.

Yesterday, Liu called to talk about today's 'Federation Meeting Issues'.

It was also the 'First Formal Internal Meeting of the Federation'.

...

8:00 AM.

In a conference room on the lowest level of the base.

Zhang Feng and Liu sat next to a table, surrounded by relevant personnel from the Planning Department and the think tank, as well as a few unspeakable individuals.

But now, Liu was the representative of Great Xia, and also the Xia Member in the Federation.

Zhang Feng, on the other hand, represented the Global Data Center.

The Federation operates on a Member system, without a Speaker.

At this moment, at 8:10 AM, the various screens in front opened, showing video feeds of the representatives from all sides, who were the Members from each side.

Each country had only one.

And there were also three super organizations spanning the globe, each sending one person to serve as a Member.

But looking now, only they themselves were visible on the screens.

However, everyone knew in their hearts that there were definitely more than just one person in the room where each individual was located.

It must be the Planning Department, the think tank, the political department, and important figures with influence from their respective countries.

"Then let's begin."

At this point, Zhang Feng also opened the proceedings, looking at the people who were 'standing by' in readiness.

"Our 'Member Liu', or more accurately, Xia's Member Liu, has proposed a global optimization plan.

Since it involves all parties globally, we invite everyone to discuss it today."

Zhang Feng said, looking at Liu, "Member Liu, please explain."

Zhang Feng had actually not seen the plan itself.

Because it was still being optimized yesterday, and he came to the meeting as soon as he woke up this morning.

"Everyone."

Liu then stood up, organized his words for a moment, and then said, "The Pioneer has been in seclusion recently and has not yet seen my plan."

Liu was a shrewd individual, and his political wisdom was even more outstanding; he first distanced Zhang Feng from the plan.

This was to avoid attracting 'a little shared animosity' from others if the plan wasn't good.

Furthermore, it was also for fairness.

Because he and Zhang Feng were in the same place, many of his words would be seen by outsiders as representing the 'Pioneer's' intentions.

Then, during this period of super honeymoon, even if the plan wasn't good, many people wouldn't oppose it.

At the same time.

After Liu finished that sentence, while listening to the Planning Department's explanation through his earpiece, he said solemnly, "I propose large-scale planting in the West, and Superconducting and Z1 production in the East.

And regarding technical personnel, a small-scale exchange and adjustment should be carried out.

Regarding this plan, I also have detailed procedures, please take a look, everyone."

Saying this, he took out the specific preliminary plan from the Planning Department and handed it to a person next to him.

About five seconds later, through the Data Center's authorization and the acceptance of all parties.

These documents were also projected onto the screens in front of everyone.

Zhang Feng also glanced at it and saw that this so-called small-scale adjustment was actually a major exchange of talent.

It involved sending 20% of our skilled planting personnel and equipment to the West.

And 20% of the technical professions and instruments from the West would come to us.

It was a form of 'exchange' in terms of manpower and resources.

Furthermore, it was even more exaggerated in the south, where a small portion of the population would migrate to the north.

Then, Z1 would be widely deployed in the south, implementing a transatlantic power grid and global energy storage stations.

Theoretically, this was indeed very good.

It achieved a partial 'leveraging of strengths and compensating for weaknesses', better global development, and better utilization of each party's geographical location and energy.

Especially since the Planning Department also provided detailed specific operations, the feasibility was very high.

But it required too many areas of investment and too many aspects to focus on.

This belonged to a major modification of the world's structure, which would be deeply impactful.

Both the advantages and disadvantages were significant.

Therefore.

After most people finished reading, they all showed expressions of disapproval and turned their gaze towards Zhang Feng, who was at the head.

After reading it, Zhang Feng was actually also against it.

Including Liu, who proposed this plan, was actually also a little against it.

It was just that this plan was too good.

Liu, as the Great Xia representative in the Federation, and facing such a good plan, could only propose it.

As for whether it would work, well, everyone could discuss it and express their opinions.

However, no one spoke; more people were looking at Zhang Feng.

Because it was the 'First Meeting', they wanted to hear the Pioneer's opinion first, to gauge the general direction.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Feng spoke very directly, based on the reports he had seen recently:

"Since this is a closed-door internal meeting, I will speak more frankly.

First of all, everyone's accounts are still managed by themselves, right?"

"Yes."

"Pioneer, we are."

"Thank you for your generosity in not taking back our financial power."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and some even wanted to praise Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng, however, raised his hand to stop the useless words and said, "Since you manage your own accounts, you all know that your respective accounts can no longer be looked at with the naked eye.

Our Federation is only a few months old, and it has already collapsed again.

To use our Great Xia's words, it means that expenditures and income have long been imbalanced, a complete mess.

We need to know that our Federation's economy has just finished being revised.

Do you gentlemen want prices to collapse again?"

Zhang Feng pointed to the plan and looked at some eager individuals.

"Although the plan is good and for the future of the Federation, the cost of this migration is too great.

If new technological breakthroughs occur in the meantime, it could lead to the world's structure, which has just been changed, having to be changed again.

Gentlemen.

You need to know that we are currently experiencing a 'forcing the growth' technological leap, and our foundation is too weak.

And now, it is precisely during the period of a large energy gap during the technological transition.

Every bit of energy requires each respective planning department to scrutinize and save.

Now, let's close the door and speak frankly among ourselves.

We really can't afford to be tossed around anymore.

Ling Stone optimization has already been cut; if we toss around more and problems arise, it will be an energy collapse."

Zhang Feng finished speaking and looked at the Members within the Federation.

At this moment, Zhang Feng also felt that civilization had rushed too quickly, and the after-effects were already starting to erupt.

If it weren't for this period of Z1 Superconducting holding things up, it might have already entered an economic crisis again.

Because during this period, the 'Superconducting Computing Power Building' had started operating! It was calculating the possibility of further mass production of Superconducting.

And facing the Pioneer's appearance, which was like 'scolding people', no one dared to utter a sound, and even less did they want to be 'called out and criticized' at the first meeting.

After all, this was also the first time everyone had formed such a 'truly unified' meeting.

Everyone was feeling their way across the river by touching stones, and no one wanted to be the first bird.

There was none of the free expression of opinions that was common in past meetings.

At the same time, all parties were exchanging glances, and the think tanks were whispering like a storm.

Finally, the think tanks only had one sentence: 'In such a "First Formal Internal Meeting", silence is golden'.

It was a political 'tacit compromise'.

And Zhang Feng, seeing everyone acting like ostriches, directly called out names: "Gernard, you are the representative of M country, and also a major Western country, why don't you share your thoughts."

Zhang Feng said, not waiting for him to refuse, and then said, "Now, let's vote by show of hands. Those who agree that Gernard should become the overall representative of the West, please raise your hands."

Swish, swish, swish.

Except for the bewildered Gernard, everyone raised their hands.

"Okay, unanimously passed internally." Zhang Feng nodded and looked at him, saying, "Western Representative, please speak on this issue."

'My God!' Gernard, who had now become the Western Representative, was completely bewildered, 'Do you really want your believer to go to hell?'

If he said something wrong, he might offend a group of people.

However, after愣ing for a few seconds, while listening to the voice from the think tank, he quickly composed himself and organized his words, saying:

"Pioneer, gentlemen of the Federation Congress.

I agree with the doubts raised by the Pioneer, because the Pioneer's judgment is completely correct.

We have flaws in energy usage and currency expenditure management, and have reached the point that the East calls 'the mountain is poor and the water is exhausted', facing the crisis of another collapse.

If I can represent the entire West..."

Gernard first looked around at the Western representatives, and finally said, "Gentlemen of the Western Parliament, I will support postponing this plan indefinitely to give us the time we need."

"I also agree."

"Agree!"

"Following the will of the Pioneer."

Everyone responded one after another.

This was started by Zhang Feng, ended by M country, and Liu also nodded.

So since the Brothers had all nodded, what else dared they say?

"Then the meeting is adjourned." Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Zhang Feng decided to leave first.

Just as he got up, Zhang Feng looked at Gernard, who was also getting up on the screen.

"Gernard."

"Pioneer!" Gernard bowed slightly and stopped his steps to leave.

The others who were about to get up also stopped, looking at Zhang Feng, thinking there was something else important.

Zhang Feng, however, smiled and helped Gernard correct himself: "The phrase you just used is not 'the mountain is poor and the water is exhausted', but 'the mountain and water are exhausted'.

Furthermore, 'When the mountain and water are exhausted, one doubts there is a path' is a line from a poem, and there is another line after it, 'Willows are dark, flowers are bright, and there is another village'.

If you are not very familiar, you can consult our Eastern people; many are willing to help you understand."

"Thank you, Pioneer." Facing such a kind Pioneer, and receiving this teaching from the Pioneer, Gernard was a little overwhelmed and bowed in thanks.

Zhang Feng, however, shook his head.

"One more thing, in future formal meetings..."

Zhang Feng looked at the people who were looking at him seriously.

"Please call me Member."
