Chapter 645: Knowledge that changes the times/New copy characters (two-in-one super large chapter please vote for me)
Bustling crowds of people walk through the noisy streets.
It has been four days since the lockdown on Lochran Street.
As early as the third day of the blockade, this street was completely unblocked, and pedestrians were coming and going on the prosperous street.
"Sir, your coffee."
The waiter cautiously placed a cup of coffee next to the gentle-looking man.
"Just leave it there, thank you."
Li Cheng raised his head, glanced at the waiter, and said thank you in Tia Empire language.
"Should I add some sugar for you?"
The waiter carefully placed the coffee on the table, added sugar, and asked casually, "Sir, you have been here for the past two days. Are you waiting for someone?"
"Waiting for a friend."
Li Cheng smiled gently, "Two yuan is enough, thank you."
"Didn't your friend agree on a specific time with you?"
The waiter stopped and asked with some confusion.
"He came back from a very far away place, and the exact time of arrival cannot be determined."
Li Cheng still maintained a gentle smile and picked up the coffee on the table, "Sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay, it should be used. Please use it slowly."
The waiter put away the tray and left slowly.
Li Cheng took a gentle sip of coffee, and the steam of steam brushed his cheeks.
While drinking coffee, he glanced at the street. The crowd was as dense as before. There was no sudden appearance of an extra person or anything unusual.
People still walked calmly on the streets.
Everything is business as usual.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the computer in front of him.
On the computer is a summary report of the people who survived and returned from the ruins this time.
The report mentioned that the ruins this time are very different from those in the past.
First of all, the scope of the safe area after arriving at the ruins has become smaller. Basically, you will encounter powerful strange beasts not far outside.
Secondly, the strength of the alien beasts near the safe area has also become significantly stronger.
In the past, when D-class explorers entered the ruins, as long as they did not go too far, most of the encounters were E-class monsters and very few D-class monsters. But this time, they encountered a large number of D-class monsters, even
I met a lot of C-level strange beasts.
Many explorers came back with obvious injuries. Even Ye Yun, the strongest C-level transcendent, was seriously injured.
In contrast, the chances of explorers discovering or finding powerful extraordinary items in ruins have also increased.
It looks like a certain kind of "novice protection period" has ended, and the "strength" of the ruins has received a major upgrade.
Of course, these changes are not actually the most eye-catching changes to the ruins this time.
The biggest change in the ruins this time is that the time flow rate between the ruins and the main world has changed from 12:1 to 6:1, so explorers who originally could return in 6 hours now need 12 hours to return.
In fact, the explorers stayed in the ruins for three days.
Although none of the major organizations knew what this change in time flow meant, almost everyone realized that some kind of mutation had occurred in the ruins.
Some researchers have put forward a speculation that the difference in time flow rate is related to the distance between the ruins and the real world in a sense.
This difference decreases, which means that the ruins are approaching the main world.
No one can prove that this guess is correct, and no one can prove that this guess is wrong.
No one knows what it means for the ruins to be close to the main world.
Because of this incident, researchers within major organizations basically started to quarrel.
At this moment, Li Cheng was carefully reading the various speculations put forward by these researchers about this incident.
At this moment, the lower right corner of his computer screen flashed, and a chat avatar lit up.
He clicked on the profile picture, and it was a message from Liu Zhengyun.
Liu Zhengyun: [At present, Moonlight and World Tree have announced that the extraordinary people who have not yet returned will be included in the death list and have begun to arrange pensions.]
Liu Zhengyun: [We should also enter the process. The logistics department has urged us several times. There are still several research projects here that need you to come back and preside over.]
Liu Zhengyun: [Normally, there is no return from the ruins...]
Liu Zhengyun: [Even if that Hao Yi is really the person in the ruins and can really rush there, but it has been four days and he hasn't come back yet. Maybe by the time he gets there...]
Liu Zhengyun: [Alas]
Li Cheng stared at these messages. He fell into a brief silence. Then he put his hand on the keyboard and slowly typed out the reply.
[hold on]
Liu Zhengyun's avatar flashed for a moment, and a line of words appeared next to the avatar, showing [the other party is typing], then the line disappeared, then showed [the other party is typing] again, and then disappeared.
After doing this several times, he finally didn't reply.
Li Cheng stared at the chat box quietly. After a short wait, he was about to close the chat box. At this time, a new message popped up,
Wu Lan: [Dean, haven’t you come back yet?]
Li Cheng looked up at the message Wu Lan had sent before.
The last one was at 2:30 this morning, [Dean, Yang is drunk. He said he was going to come over to persuade you, but I stopped him.]
The previous one was about this time yesterday, and the content was, [Dean, haven’t you come back yet?]
Almost every day, there would be the same message, and Li Cheng would give the same answer.
He slowly raised his hand, preparing to reply to Wu Lan, and typed a reply in the input box.
Card--
But before he could send the message, there was a slight sound of a chair moving next to him, followed by a slightly smiling question, "How does this coffee taste?"
Li Cheng raised his head, looked at the seat in front of him, and looked at the young man who didn't pay attention to etiquette at all and sat down directly opposite him. He paused, took a sip of coffee, and said with a smile,
"It's okay, but not as good as your cappuccino."
"You have to trust my taste in coffee selection."
The young man shrugged.
"so······"
Li Cheng looked at the young man and asked tentatively.
"Dean."
At this time, a figure walked out from behind the young man and looked at Li Cheng in front of him with a smile.
"came back?"
Li Cheng looked at He Ao, who still maintained a calm and gentle smile on his face, "It'll be good when he comes back."
"Eh!"
He Ao quickly reached out and grabbed the coffee cup that had fallen from the air. A few drops of coffee liquid scattered on the computer keyboard.
Li Cheng lowered his head and glanced.
The coffee cup with a handle in his hand now only has the handle.
The place where the cup handle connected with the coffee cup was accidentally crushed by him.
"Seeing as it's here, I have to pay for a coffee cup before I leave."
Li Cheng smiled, his tone rising.
He Ao put the coffee cup on the table, and at this time Zhang Yusi and Yuan Guo also walked out from behind him.
"Everyone is back?"
Li Cheng glanced behind He Ao, then at He Ao who was wearing a big coat to cover the blood stains, and gave a thumbs up, "Good job, good boy."
"Dean Li, let's continue talking about the previous 'deal'?"
At this time, ‘Hao Yi’ stood up.
"Wait a mininute,"
Li Cheng nodded. He closed the computer, picked up his cell phone and sent a message. He looked at He Ao and others and smiled, "I called Li Le and he will come over right away. Take a rest and go home."
"good."
Several people nodded at the same time.
"By the way, He Ao,"
At this time, Li Cheng suddenly remembered something and looked at He Ao, "Go and contact your Yang department. This old boy hasn't had a good sleep in a few days."
"good."
He Ao nodded slightly.
Li Cheng discussed it with the cafe, paid for the cup, and then left with 'Hao Yi'.
He Ao, Zhang Yusi and Yuan Guo rested in this cafe.
Yasien was not with them. As soon as he came back, he went to find Moonlight's organization.
Because Shu Gui's injury was too serious, He Aoxian was sent directly to the hospital.
Zhang Yusi and Yuan Guo whispered something, and then they came over together to tell He Ao that they had to go to the toilet and left the coffee shop temporarily.
Just as the two were leaving, Li Le, carrying a satchel, rushed over. As soon as he saw He Ao, he immediately rushed over, his eyes visibly reddening.
"Hebe!"
At the beginning, he also experienced life and death with He Ao.
"It's okay," He Ao patted his shoulder and smiled, "I'm back."
"Um."
Li Le nodded, then he opened his satchel, "This is the spare mobile phone that the dean asked me to prepare. I have booked a hotel and meals. Shall we go to the hotel now?"
"Wait a minute," He Ao glanced at the direction Zhang Yusi and the two left, "There are still two people who haven't come back yet."
——
"This sword is very useful,"
The Velora once again drove to the beautiful lake before, and the old-fashioned wheels cut across the water, creating ripples.
He Ao glanced out the window, spread his hands, and the Shadowless Sword appeared in his hand, "But according to our previous agreement, I helped you bring the person back, which offset most of the reward."
"That's what it should be. In fact, I think it's worth all the reward for you to bring those boys and girls back."
Li Cheng seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled.
"Reverse bargaining is not advisable,"
He Ao smiled, knowing that Li Cheng was trying to win over him further, "I pay attention to fairness in everything I do."
The shadowless sword turned into a shadow in his hand, and the shadow of the lake clung to the table, and then slowly raised two shadowed spheres, "I now have two kinds of knowledge that I can tell you as a 'final payment',"
He Ao pointed to the shadow sphere on the left, "The first one is about 'talent', but this knowledge is very basic and is not very helpful for the promotion of high-ranking beings."
Then he pointed to the shadow sphere on the right, "The second one is about 'angels'."
He raised his head and looked at Li Cheng, "Which one do you choose?"
This is actually a simple choice. Most people benefit from the knowledge of 'talent', while the knowledge of 'angel' is related to 'Li Cheng', who is currently closest to the angel, and the one who benefits is Li Cheng himself.
Li Cheng looked at the two small balls in front of him, and after a brief silence, he said slowly, "I choose the first one."
The shadow sphere on the right, representing the knowledge of the 'angel', slowly sinks into the shadow of the table.
He Ao put his hand on the first shadow sphere, and then the shadow sphere exploded, forming a line of faint words in the sky.
[‘Talents’ are arranged in sequence, and their arrangement is cyclical.]
This short sentence actually embodies the in-depth exploration of countless people by the extraordinary people in the copy world during the great cataclysm era.
Judging from the information held by He Ao, the discovery of the periodic table of talent sequences may also be one of the important reasons that ultimately promoted the establishment of the original federation.
This simple law that can be summarized in one sentence means that humans have a systematic grasp of extraordinary power.
"What does it mean?"
Li Cheng stared blankly at the line of words.
He could vaguely feel a tightly sealed door opening in front of him, but his problem now was that he couldn't even touch the edge of the door.
Until now, the definition of 'talent' by the Overworld's extraordinary organization is still a 'natural ability that can be awakened randomly, or obtained by taking special potions or consuming special items in the ruins.'
Some people have thought about linking some talents that seem to have similar abilities, but no one has ever connected all talents.
The talents discovered in the main world now have different abilities, some are completely opposite, and some are completely different.
The existence of these talents is as normal as the sun rising in the east. They are part of the world. No one has ever thought about whether there are some special laws between all talents.
At this moment, Li Cheng felt as if God had revealed the truth in front of him, but he only had a partial understanding of it.
"Theoretically, according to our trading principles, I shouldn't tell you more information, but out of respect for your sincerity,"
He Ao looked at Li Cheng's confused and excited eyes and said, "I can add some information and use this knowledge as an 'annotation'."
He paused and continued,
"I think you should have discovered by now that some low-level talent sequences and high-level talent sequences have a certain kind of 'compliance'.
"In fact, this is a regular expression of the periodic table of talent sequences. That is, when a talent sequence at a certain level is promoted, it can only be promoted from the talent sequence corresponding to the previous level, and can only be promoted to the next level.
A talent sequence list corresponding to a level.
"For example, if the E-level talent sequence 'Bull' wants to be promoted to 'Bull', it can only be promoted by its corresponding F-level talent sequence 'Angry Man'. On the contrary, 'Bull'
'If you want to be promoted to the next level, you can only be promoted to the corresponding D-level talent sequence 'Thug'."
After hearing He Ao's narration, Li Cheng did not speak immediately. He was trying to digest the meaning of He Ao's words.
"Of course, you probably haven't understood the concept of 'promotion' yet,"
He Ao continued, "But with the information you have now, you should be able to understand this concept quickly, so I won't explain too much."
He spread his hands and said, "Let's continue the topic just now. After understanding the concept of 'compliance', we can actually see that all talent sequences can be pushed forward to the corresponding most basic 'F'
Level talent sequence, I believe you have discovered that there are only nine F-level talent sequences, the lowest level, or 'talent'."
Li Cheng said slowly, he was very familiar with this information.
After so many years, there are actually a lot of extraordinary people in the institute. There is still a basic investigation and mastery of F-level talents.
"Yes, but the order needs to be changed, the order of the nine talent sequences,"
The ordering of these nine basic talent sequences mainly comes from the "diary" that He Ao obtained from Vianna before and recorded the "Periodic Table of Talent Sequences".
However, the clear words in the diary only recorded six: student, farmer, citizen, reader, angry man, and listener. The remaining three were notary, spectator, and hermit. He did not know the specific numbers of these three.
But he came into contact with the two talent sequences of 'spectator' and 'hermit' in other places.
‘Guanke’ is the talent sequence that Luo Yin has taken in the copy of ‘Luo Yin’. The corresponding E-level and D-level talent sequences of one path are ‘Mercenary’ and ‘Assassin’ respectively.
And 'Hermit' is Jace's starting talent sequence in the just-concluded Jace copy.
The spectator is 7, and the hermit is 6.
After knowing the order of 'spectator' and 'hermit', although He Ao has never come into contact with 'notary public', it can be deduced that it is '8'.
So in fact, it was not until the end of Jace's copy that He Ao completely deduced the ordering of the nine talent sequences of F level.
However, there was no other expression on He Ao's face. He continued to say to Li Cheng, "These nine talent sequences are the basis of all talent sequences."
"F level has nine talents...sequences,"
At this time, Li Cheng gradually came to his senses, and he asked softly, "Will the subsequent levels also have nine talent sequences? This is consistent with the information we collected..."
"Is it different?" He Ao looked at him and smiled, "The talent sequences are not completely one-to-one correspondence, but spread from bottom to top in a tree-like manner. There are only 9 talent sequences in F level.
But E-level has 27 talent sequences, and D-level also has 27 talent sequences.”
"What about C-level?"
Li Cheng asked subconsciously.
But this time, He Ao didn't answer.
"Sorry, I got excited."
Li Cheng also realized that his behavior just now was a bit impulsive. 'Hao Yi' only mentioned D level, and the 'information' proving their transaction was only D level. He had crossed the line.
This calm dean of the institute showed a helpless expression in front of He Ao for the first time. He took two long, deep breaths and said, "Sorry, this is a bit of a lot of information. I have to slow down a bit."
"Please."
He Ao raised his right hand slightly, making a gesture of please, and then turned to look at the scenery outside the window.
After about ten minutes of thinking, Li Cheng finally came to his senses. He looked at He Ao and said incoherently,
"Mr. Hao Yi, please allow me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of all the extraordinary beings. This information you gave... is so important, it is tantamount to the primitive man lighting a fire for the first time in the dark night.
"Without you, we don't know how many detours we would have to take to figure out these rules. The world of extraordinary people will be a completely different era before and after today."
"I am just standing on the shoulders of giants,"
He Ao shrugged, and the train drove into the void, "These laws are not summarized by me."
Stars are moving in the sky all the time, and ripe apples always fall to the ground.
A simple formula can summarize the laws of gravity in the low-speed macroscopic universe.
Human beings have gone thousands of years from establishing the first city-state to the formula of universal gravitation.
Of course, God telling the ancient slave masters the formula of universal gravitation would not have any effect.
Knowledge that transcends the times can only exert its due effect in the hands of those who can understand it.
Fortunately, the laws of the periodic table of talent sequences are far simpler than the formula of gravity. Li Cheng is not an ancient slave owner, but a scientific researcher with accumulation and wisdom.
"You are so humble." Li Cheng's hands trembled a little. "I can almost see that the times are changing in our hands. In any case, your help to this world is unparalleled. The knowledge you have given me is far more than what I have given you."
What you do is important.”
He almost couldn't believe that just because of such a small matter of making the 'Shadowless Sword', 'Hao Yi' told him this knowledge that could almost change the world.
Excitement almost filled his mind, and he could not wait to get into the laboratory immediately to study the periodic pattern of the talent sequence.
"In my eyes, what you do for me is equal to what I give you."
He Ao smiled calmly, and the Velora drove out of the void and landed next to a secluded street. He gently raised his hand, and the car door on the side slowly opened, "I wish the world good luck."
"Good luck to the world."
Li Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Hao Yi, the institute will always be your friend."
He stood up slowly and walked towards the car door.
The moment he stepped out of the car door, He Ao called out to him, "Dean Li, your 'young man' seems to have researched something interesting. You can talk to him about it."
Young man?
Li Cheng was stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw that the door of the Velora had been closed and it was driving into the void again.
Is it Heao?
——
"He Bu, let's go then?"
Below the hotel in the center of Ellen City, He Ao stood at the door of the hotel and looked at Zhang Yusi and Yuan Guo in front of him.
These two people bought tickets to return to China tonight. After experiencing so many things, they really should go back and take a rest.
He Ao did not buy a flight ticket back.
His previously proposed plan for Ruodan to be co-governed by three extraordinary organizations has not yet been implemented. He will not leave Ruodan in a short time until this matter is on the right track.
"Go back, your family will miss you very much."
He Ao smiled and waved to the two of them.
"Right?"
At this time, Zhang Yusi suddenly stretched out her hand and took out a photo and a pen from behind. She raised her head, her face reddish, and she seemed to have mustered up great courage, "Can you sign your name for me?"
He Ao lowered his head and glanced at the photo. It was the photo Wu Lan sent him on the forum. "So you two left at that time to print this photo?"
He smiled, took the pen, and signed his name on the photo.
Zhang Yusi has never said that she is a fan of He Ao, but when she first joined the Navigator, she used a microcomputer to send He Ao the written information about the first area that she had.
It was at that time that He Ao saw her lock screen wallpaper.
However, Zhang Yusi collected it quickly at that time, for fear that He Ao would see her wallpaper, so He Ao did not point it out clearly.
Of course, it was inevitable that He Ao could see that wallpaper at that time, but luck is also very important.
"He Bu, I want it too!"
At this time, Yuan Guo next to him also took out a photo.
Zhang Yusi, who had just received the autographed photo, her eyes widened instantly. She stared at Yuan Guo with an expression of disbelief.
She still remembered that when she printed the photo before, Yuan Guo sternly stated that she was not a fan of He Ao. She just thought that the photo was indeed very artistic, so she printed a copy for collection.
Yuan Guo looked at Zhang Yusi and looked a little embarrassed, "The main reason is that He Bu is so famous. If it has a signature, the collection value of this photo will be higher."
Zhang Yusi squinted her eyes, a little suspicious.
He Ao smiled and signed Yuan Guo's name.
"Thank you He Bu."
Yuan Guo carefully put the photo in an envelope, and then carefully put it into his pocket while Zhang Yusi watched.
She smiled awkwardly, "Yusi, when I get back, I'll treat you to dessert. There's a particularly delicious dessert in Dongdu..."
Zhang Yusi glared at her, raised two fingers, "Two times."
"Okay, okay, Yusi, you are the best."
Yuan Guo and Zhang Yusi leaned together.
······
He Ao watched the two people walking away chatting and laughing, waved goodbye to him, then got into a taxi and left.
The vehicles on the roadside passed by in a hurry, leaving behind noisy horns.
Under the dark street, pedestrians came and went, passing by him with a little laughter.
The cold wind of the night blew across his face, and the trees beside him rustled in the wind.
A fallen leaf fell on his shoulder.
He slowly reached out his hand and took off this single fallen leaf.
"He Bu, why don't you sign your name for me~"
At this moment, a sizzling voice sounded behind him.
He paused and turned back with a slightly surprised look on his face.
Wu Lan, wearing a hot tight cheongsam, stood in front of an old-fashioned car that was slowly reversing behind him.
"I only hear the new ones laughing, but the old ones cry when I hear them."
Wu Lan pinched the orchid in her hand and looked like she was about to cry, "Brother He Ao forgot about his old love when he found a new love. Now he doesn't even recognize his sister."
He Ao opened his mouth slightly and was about to say something when a tall but tall figure walked up to him. The figure's cheek came close to him and he looked at He Ao's cheek carefully, "You brat, you seem to have gained weight.
."
He Ao stared at the figure in front of him with wide eyes, "Yang Bu? How do you..."
When he called to report that he was safe, Yang De told him that it was not convenient to answer the call because he was on a mission.
At this time, the old-fashioned car finally parked, and Ji Po got out of the driver's seat with a smile on his face. He looked at He Ao, scratched his head, and smiled, "I just got off the plane."
"Why," Wu Lan walked up to He Ao with her hands folded, took out a magnifying glass from her chest, and put it in front of her eyes, "You, the host, don't welcome us?"
He Ao stared blankly at the three people in front of him. He paused and a smile slowly formed on his cheeks.
"welcome"
——
The silent moonlight shone along the car window and onto the long aisle.
The clone of He Ao and Hao Yi leaned against the door of the first compartment, staring at the moonlight outside the window.
At this moment, in the compartment behind him, there is the artificial intelligence, 8753, that was taken back from the boss's secret base.
It is impossible for a painter to suddenly develop into a believer of an evil god without any connection.
Or, he was contaminated while in the ruins.
Or, something came out of the ruins and contaminated him through some means.
The train in the silent night drove deep into the mountains.
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the sky.
The 'man behind the scenes' who has been trying to seize the time and space coordinates of the main world behind the scenes seems to care about the main world.
He seems to have been 'searching' for the main world.
It started a long time ago.
——Two days later——
He Ao locked the hotel door and closed the curtains.
In the past few days after returning, he has been using the negative effects of the 'nutrition can' to devour the extraordinary animal and plant materials taken from the moonlight and the World Tree.
After eating all these materials, the consciousness in his body increased by more than three levels, reaching the seventh level.
And as the dust of the Navigator incident settled, he also vaguely felt that Super Memory was close to complete control.
Next, there is some simple water grinding work.
He sat on the bed in the room, and the countdown in his field of vision gradually returned to zero.
