The Internet, which was prosperous at the time, has experienced two blows and has now withdrawn from the stage of history.
The first time is the "Great Nirvana Period", when the world enters the end of the world, which is the collapse of order, and what is more deadly is the emergence of the "Second World", from the "Internet" to the "virtual world", which is a technological innovation.
The "Second World" is closely related to the lives of people on earth.
This virtual space was originally built on a virtual host purchased on the Qiulong Planet. Virtual world technology is very mature in the universe and is not a scarce item, especially within the scope of the earth. The purchase price at that time was only
One hundred million black dragon coins.
It includes various functions, learning, martial arts training, financial transactions, trial grounds, shopping, food, virtual games, etc., everything you need.
It's just that this kind of ordinary virtual host is inevitably a bit crude, and the homemade consciousness-sensing helmet used is even more inconvenient.
Therefore, more resources can be utilized in the future, and this virtual host has also undergone two upgrades.
The current version of the "Second World" virtual host sells for up to 3,000 Hunyuan units, which is already comparable to the entire wealth of many ordinary immortal gods, and the range it covers is only ten light years in radius.
The primitive consciousness-sensing helmets of the past have long been abandoned. Now people on earth use auxiliary optical brains, or higher-level "intelligent optical brains" to connect to the second world network.
The fact that a virtual host can reach this price also shows its quality. Even intelligent life cannot decipher the detailed data in it, and it can ensure the security of the information. The most noteworthy thing is the "proving ground" function.
It is no exaggeration to say... before comprehending the law, it is not inferior to the "killing field" of the virtual universe.
Looking at the whole universe, there is only one kind of virtual world that can allow people to practice the laws, and that is the "virtual universe" of the original universe.
Those who are able to comprehend the laws at the cosmic level can be called "galaxy level" geniuses. Most of the domain lords are unable to comprehend the laws, so this has no impact on the current earth.
At this moment, a storm of discussion was set off in the "Second World".
"Wow, have you seen the fireworks outside?"
"Those are not fireworks. They have been going on for a long time. There is no smell of gunpowder smoke. It should be a special secret method."
"Secret method? Oh my God, is there any secret method that can cover the entire world?"
"Who do you think did this?"
Above the sky, the colorful lights flash in people's eyes, which is a very beautiful scene.
What makes everyone more interested is, who did this?
Some people guessed it was the country, because it is really unimaginable for people who have the ability to do this, but yesterday was indeed not a holiday, and there seemed to be no special reason.
Others firmly speculated that Luo Yanchang, the son of the Luo family, was marrying his girlfriend.
The Luo family is now the most famous family on earth.
In contrast, Thor only has one daughter. When he was young, he had a big estrangement with Thor and ran away from home. It was only 16 years later that the feud was resolved, but he has become accustomed to a plain and ordinary life.
Hong's descendants are not outstanding in their martial arts abilities. Hong himself has experienced the era of being the strongest in the world and in extreme martial arts schools, so he has a relatively indifferent view of this aspect.
Lin Yan still has no heirs.
Therefore, the Luo family has many children and is the strongest.
Xu Xin and Luo Hua both hold important positions in Jiuzhou Company and do not need Luo Feng's help. As department heads, their dividends are very high. If they invest a little bit in family development, they can develop well.
Luo Yanchang is the eighth generation grandson of Luo Feng.
This statement does make many people think it makes sense.
but--
In a residential building in Tianjing City.
A young girl in her prime was sitting by the window sill, looking up at the fiery trees and silver flowers in the sky. The gorgeous light and shadow were floating in her pupils, and the basic information of the famous biologist Wen Zhian came to mind.
There is a more definite answer.
"That person today turns out to be the legendary Speaker Lin Yan."
"The man who became the strongest in the world at just 21 years old and who dispelled the darkness when mankind was in despair."
She blinked, feeling an inexplicable sense of happiness.
They have long been legends and myths, but with an unintentional glance, I witnessed their romantic story with my own eyes.
…
Heavy snowfall fell silently on their shoulders and hair. The moonlight was mottled, and the lights in the villa also cast a gentle halo.
Lin Tangtang quietly made a face for him, without disturbing the moment, turned around and walked into the house.
In the silver world, only the figures of lovers embracing each other remain.
The dense vines in the backyard quietly poked their heads out, their colors constantly changing, and the leaves swayed happily.
Wen Zhi'an didn't speak, he just hugged the person in front of him whom he missed so much, feeling the warmth of his breath and listening to his strong heartbeat.
Lin Yan hugged her quietly, his eyes pure.
In front of the balcony on the second floor of the villa, the whole family was watching this scene, with joy on their faces but tears streaming down silently.
"Xiao Yan is back..." Qiu Baihui's eyes were red and her voice was dry.
Although it can also be seen in the virtual universe, it is different. The child has not returned home. As a mother, how can she feel relieved?
Lin Yuanhe stared blankly at his son who had grown to an extent he could not imagine, lowered his head and sniffed.
He calmed down and said, "Let them stay a little longer, let's wait a little longer."
Wen Xiuyong's eyes were bright and he nodded.
This brat is back.
He was satisfied with Lin Yan in all other aspects, but there was one thing that made him full of resentment, and that was that he didn't have a home.
Originally, after the Devouring Beast, he counterattacked the wilderness area. Wen Xiuyong thought that this boy had accomplished his merits and was going to settle down with his precious daughter. Unexpectedly, he went to the universe in the blink of an eye, and later participated in the Universe Human Genius Competition and won the prize.
Go to the first place in the universe, leave the earth, and go to the biggest stage in the vast universe.
My father-in-law is feeling miserable.
But looking at the development of the earth over the years, he also knows why these things came about, and he can't express any complaints.
Because he understood that the man they had placed high hopes on when he was a boy had always done the right thing.
…
Lin Yan gently sniffed the fragrance of Wen Zhi'an's hair, with gentle eyes. At this moment, he remembered that a long time ago, when he defeated the golden-horned beast and came back after two years.
It was snowing that day and there was such a beautiful moonlight.
It was two years at that time, but it was more than two hundred years this time. What kind of longing must she have accumulated?
Different from myself.
Lin Yan has more things in his heart besides her, including the earth, the universe, and a grander and brighter world, and he will not choose to stop for someone.
But for Wen Zhi'an, she is the most important part of her life.
Lin Yan's mind flashed back to the time when he first came to this world, when he met her as a girl for the first time in midsummer, and recalled every moment between them.
He hugged her a little tighter.
Lin Yan felt a sense of gratitude in his heart, thanking her for her silent but firm choice all along.
"When I come back this time, I have already arranged other things in advance. I should stay on Earth for a long time." Lin Yan said softly, "It will be longer than the time I left."
Wen Zhi'an raised his head slightly, looked at the man's face with clear eyes, and said in a dreamy voice: "Bad man, I miss you so much."
"So I'm back." Lin Yan rubbed her long hair.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Zhi'an, do you still remember what I told you before I left?"
"Which sentence?" A slight smile appeared on Wen Zhi'an's face, his expression was charming and innocent, but he pretended not to know.
"What do you think our future children should be called?" Lin Yan's eyes were bright and he boasted, "I've been thinking about this recently. After thinking hard, I finally came up with a few good names. You can choose them."
Wen Zhi'an looked at Lin Yan with a sense of peace of mind in his heart.
Because as long as he promised himself something, he would definitely do it.
She didn't speak, her eyes flickered, as if she could talk, and she meant "don't show off".
So Lin Yan no longer covered himself up and began to show off his amazing naming talent in front of her.
No more pretending, I’m showing off my cards!
I am the master of naming!
Lin Yan laughed and said: "Although these names are all very good, the one I am most satisfied with is 'Lin Teng'. You must like it too."
He smiled proudly.
My son Lin Teng will definitely have the appearance of a great emperor.
Wen Zhi'an looked at his triumphant look and was a little confused.
Seeing that her reaction was not enthusiastic enough, Lin Yan thought that maybe this name was not a protagonist enough to carry the destiny of the son of the strongest genius in mankind, and then tested: "Lin Fan?"
"Think again." Wen Zhi'an shook his head, obviously not satisfied.
When Lin Yan saw this, he quickly realized the mistake he had made. How could Li Dai get it?
"Lin Dong!" He was full of confidence and took out his trump card, feeling that he must have this name at his fingertips.
The ultimate in martial arts, moving the world!
This is all the love and care of a father. If you can’t become the master of the universe, don’t come to see me.
"You should put your efforts in other aspects. Your efforts have been enough. Leave the name to me." Wen Zhi'an thought deeply and finally made such a decision.
When Lin Yan heard this, he immediately became anxious. Sure enough, the novels were all lies, but he still had to believe in his own wisdom as the strongest genius in human history.
He struggled desperately: "Lin Guaiguai!"
This name is sure to awaken a woman’s natural maternal love.
The last trace of Wen Zhi'an's original unbearability was cut off by Huijian. After friendly negotiation with Lin Yan, he cruelly deprived Lin Yan of his right to name.
She looked at Lin Yan, full of vigilance, this man was very dangerous!
…
In the blink of an eye.
It is already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Lin Yan didn't practice for a few days after he came back. He stayed with his family all the time. From his family's mouth, he learned that Luo Feng had only been passed down to his eleventh generation grandson for more than two hundred years. Lin Yan didn't feel anything.
Envy, but secretly a little proud.
My original decision was indeed the right one.
Looking back at the time when they left, Luo Feng's family only had a few members, and his two sons were only 11 years old. Now, more than two hundred years later, Luo Feng has already been eleven generations of grandchildren before he returned home, and the Luo family has a total of nearly
Two thousand people.
Luo Feng may think it's good, but Lin Yan's concept is different. If this happened to him, he would still be very upset.
It’s better to give birth to my little superman.
Lin Yan had just returned and would stay on Earth for a long time, so he was not in a hurry to upgrade Wen Zhi'an's genes to ten times immediately, and was prepared to wait for some time. However, in the past few days, he has been persisting in ineffective efforts.
His heart is very sacred.
Everything is for the great rejuvenation of the human race!
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, an uninvited guest appeared at home.
"Hello, Mr. Lin Yan."
"According to our investigation, your behavior of setting off fireworks and firecrackers has violated Article 8 of Chapter 2 and Article 30 of Chapter 5 of the "Tianjing Public Security Management Regulations". We will impose a penalty of not less than three days but not more than fifteen days on you in accordance with the law.
Administrative detention, and safety education and legal education.”
Standing outside the door of the villa, a man in uniform looked at Lin Yan with a solemn expression.
"boom!"
The door was immediately closed.
Wait for the door to knock again.
"Fuck you." Lin Yan laughed and scolded, "You Liu Mingxuan, you used to be cold in front of me, but now you can even joke. It's different for you as an ancestor."
He greeted: "Sister-in-law, sit down in your room."
Standing in front of the door was a rather handsome man who looked unapproachable, with a faint smile on his face at the moment.
Beside him, stood a beautiful woman.
It is Liu Mingxuan and Wang Xinyue.
On the current earth, because all other countries have immigrated to the new planet, there is only one country left, and the former federal parliament has been abolished. The person in front of me has been the person who stood at the highest position for a long time.
The current political system is ultimately decided by the "Atrium", among which Lin Yan is still in name for the time being, and among the others, he knows three people, namely Liu Mingxuan, Chen Lian and Zhu Xi.
Jia Yi devotes himself wholeheartedly to his position as the president of Galaxy University. Deng Jun, who originally created "Broken Army Sword", also teaches at Galaxy University.
Lin Yan's statement that he was an ancestor was not nonsense.
Liu Mingxuan was born in the military and had a strict family tradition. Although he was different from the Luo family, he was full of children and grandchildren. He was an orphan and had no elders in the family. He did have a father-in-law, but he was sentenced to death for assassinating Lin Yan in the wilderness area.
Lin Yan led them into the villa, and Wen Zhi'an made tea for them.
"Mingxuan wanted to come to see you a few days ago, but I stopped me. Lin Yan, you have just come back and you have to reunite with your family, so you don't want to be disturbed, so I will wait until now." Wang Xinyue glanced at Liu Mingxuan and said gently.
In fact.
The outermost area of Lin Yan's residence has always been protected by the military, with soldiers on duty and patrolling. Lin Yan's fireworks display started from here that day, and this was quickly reported.
Such a big news about this matter is actually easy to guess. Xu Xin has already asked Wen Zhi'an about it, but she is still looking forward to Luo Feng's return.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Yan smiled, "I should stay on the earth for at least a few hundred years this time. Speaking of which, when I first came back, I saw the changes in the earth and I felt almost unrecognizable."
He smiled and joked: "Captain Liu is indeed capable."
"This has nothing to do with my ability." Liu Mingxuan shook his head and said, "From ancient times to the present, the development of human civilization has been limited by productivity and production materials. Now that we are free of these restrictions, we have endless resources to utilize. If It would be strange if some people can’t do it well.”
Lin Yan laughed.
According to the contract signed with Virtual Universe Company, Jiuzhou Company will not distribute dividends to shareholders until its operations are relatively stable after a hundred years.
At that time, he had just left Chaos City, and his first dividend was a total of 540,000 Hunyuan units.
At that time, the Qianwu branch also explained to Lin Yan that the consumption of virtual games was not high. This was because of Lin Yan's influence in Qianwu Universe Country and Evening Star Universe Country, so he occupied the largest game market in these two universe countries. scale, and many people have the habit of recharging large amounts, and one recharge is enough for tens of thousands of years of consumption.
Therefore, it will be very popular at the beginning, and then unless the user scale continues to expand, the revenue will be relatively flat.
According to estimates, dividends will be paid out one after another in the second 100 years and will not exceed 100,000 mixed yuan units.
This number is already terrible.
But... the user base has been growing crazily.
This is because after that, Lin Yan's performance became more and more evil, and he has reached the point where he is very likely to become the overlord of the universe. With this kind of talent, this kind of status, this kind of attention, it is easy to know that the future will be in the virtual universe without even thinking about it. The identity and status of the company.
Except for Qian Wu and Duixing, the branch heads of the other virtual universe companies in the other 1006 universe countries are not very sophisticated in their dealings. They also intend to promote "Kunlun" as a show of goodwill. Anyway, this kind of thing is not against the rules and they do not seek merit. , but seek no fault.
Metaverse Corporation also doesn't mind giving some benefits to geniuses in this way.
Although it is far less effective than Qianwu, the promotion effect of Evening Star Universe Country is as good as the promotion effect, but based on 1006 Universe Country, the growth of user scale is still extremely terrifying.
Zidianhou also told Lin Yan that they had done a data evaluation and that within 20,000 years, "Kunlun" would be ranked among the top ten virtual games.
As a result, dividends were distributed one after another, but in more than a hundred years, it had reached 5.62 million Hunyuan units, of which Luo Feng, Hong and Lei Shen each had 10%, and the remaining 70% belonged to Lin Yan.
For example, Xu Xin and Luo Hua's dividends are from online catering and financial investment respectively.
In addition to his first dividend and the real need to cultivate the plant life of the world master, Lin Yan later had a net worth of hundreds of billions. He really looked down on these millions of Hunyuan units, even if... Hu Yanbo's legacy was not so much.
All the money was handed over to Wen Zhi'an, and he specifically told... "Spend it quickly, otherwise you won't be able to spend it all."
So Liu Mingxuan only needed to come up with reasonable plans and never worried about money.
The only one who needs to worry is Wen Zhi'an, because he really can't spend all the money.
If many things that are needed do not pursue high standards, such as a virtual host with three thousand units, the earth's own industry can already promote development.
"Mingxuan, speaking of this, I do have something to tell you." Lin Yan said.
Liu Mingxuan nodded seriously: "Just tell me."
Lin Yan solemnly said: "Without the constraints of productivity and production means, you have a goal that must be achieved...cultivate talents, not just warriors, but talents who can reach the extreme in various fields."
"So we need to make some reforms in education. I will notify Jia Yi to come here later and we will discuss it in detail."
He looked serious.
This is also the goal that he must achieve during his time on Earth.
Lin Yan does not advocate promoting martial arts on the earth and suppressing the living environment in other fields. This is not only because the earth is a civilization and a race. If it does not pursue diversified development, it will appear deformed. There is another more important thing.
the elements of.
The earth lineage was created by the Mountain Guest, and it is destined to be a very powerful lineage with amazing potential, mainly reflected in the soul.
China's five thousand years of splendid civilization has produced countless romantic figures.
During the period of national awakening, there were external insults and internal insults. Many outstanding figures among them were able to achieve the greatest success in history in the greatest difficulties in history for the sake of their ideals. How determined are their wills? Isn’t it true that “the heart is like a knife, capable of cutting off all obstacles?”
"?
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, hundreds of schools of thought challenged and argued with each other ideologically and culturally, creating an unprecedented academic situation and a glorious era with twinkling stars, among which all those who could be hailed as "sages"
Not a few.
Their thoughts even guided the path forward for Hong and Lei Shen thousands of years later. Couldn't it be said that "the unity of heaven and man, the heart of an innocent child"?
However, Hong's situation is special, and it is difficult to determine whether any ancient people had reached this state.
Lin Yan never favors the past over the present, so in the past five thousand years, so many talents with extremely strong wills and brilliant minds have emerged, why not now?
They may be studying academics, they may be granted the title of prince or prime minister, they may be emperors of their generation, or they may even be just old farmers cultivating the fields. Each of them has achieved amazing achievements in their own field, or has achieved inner perfection and self-sufficiency.
They may be brilliant in ancient and modern times, or they may be unknown.
Does talent matter?
Of course it's important.
Under normal circumstances, one universe level can appear in a galaxy, and the entire Ganwu Universe Kingdom has tens of thousands of immortal gods.
Outstanding talents can make them domain lords, world lords, and even immortals.
Does talent matter?
Not important at all.
Lin Yan's promotion to the planetary level is to promote the overall progress of the human lineage on earth, so that the bloodline currently in the ninth level of the universe can reach the fifth and sixth levels of "adult planetary level" as quickly as possible.
wait.
But this refers to overall progress.
If it happens to a single individual, Virtual Universe Company has developed a "bloodline evolution agent" that can transform the bloodline and easily grow to the domain lord level. It is not particularly difficult to reach a higher level in cultivation.
Including the very important law compliance, there are also a large number of treasures that can make up for it.
Hong and Lei Shen's talents are not very good, but with a lot of resources, they are still qualified to gain a foothold in the Virtual Universe Company, which is full of talented people.
So... in Lin Yan's view, the most important thing is will, character, and the potential and value you can show!
If there could be people like "Li Er" and "Confucius" on earth, his talent would have been so low that he could not cultivate at all. How could Lin Yan give up on carving beautiful jade because he was stingy with resources?
He doesn't even need to invest anything at all, and the large amount of profits captured by Jiuzhou Company can be put to use.
China has five thousand years, but these five thousand years are history, and there can be another five thousand or fifty million eras in the future!
In those histories, we can clearly see that, limited by productivity and means of production, it is simply impossible to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.
Those poor people, let alone study, could not afford food, let alone knowledge and culture. They were trapped in that narrow village and could not get out for the rest of their lives.
Now it is completely achievable. The only thing that depends on it is whether Lin Yan wants to do such a thing.
Lin Yan wanted to give it a try.
Because he really didn't believe that Hong, Lei Shen and Luo Feng could have a will comparable to the immortal gods when they were weak, and others were destined to be inferior to them.
They may emerge in various fields and show their shining points. At this time, their xinxing has already settled, and if they continue to practice, they may not be late bloomers.
Of course, the core is still to promote martial arts.
What Lin Yan wants to do is to let them continue to learn, continue to think, and continue to realize the high value of life through their own choices.
That is...let them shine.
He wants to personally create a more glorious era in the biggest historical change of human civilization on earth, let the stars shine together in the sky, and let their voices echo in history and the future.
