After standing in front of the window and thinking for a long time, Chu Fei took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
In the underground world, because of the huge pressure, I never relaxed or thought well.
Now I'm home...
"Well, I'm home! Yes, I'm home!"
Looking at the autumn leaves falling outside the window, Chu Fei suddenly felt a strange warmth, a kind of absurd warmth.
Not long after entering Shuguang College, a classmate was whipped to death in front of him, and he was also whipped; he was bullied again and had to kill someone, and Cao Liwen grabbed him by the neck, and the punishment was doubled.
But now, after returning from the underground world, I feel... damn warm, and I actually feel like I'm home!
After being stunned for a while, Chu Fei smiled bitterly and whispered to himself: "Of course there are many bad things about Shuguang Academy, but at least there is a trace of warmth here. As long as you pass the study and practice, you can lie down.
But in the outside world, you have to sleep with one eye open."
Unable to help himself, Chu Fei thought of Zhang Qiaoqiao and Meng Long, the two "people" who had been transformed into full-body reproductive attire - he didn't know if they could still be called people.
There are also those people who have some degree of transformation, are they really willing to transform themselves into a "thing" that is neither human nor ghost?
Who doesn’t want to be an upright person? There’s nothing you can do about it.
Just like Huang Gang, the captain of the Dawn Team, and Zhao Hongyue, the vice-captain, they cannot survive without the transformation of their costumes.
This is the end of the world after all.
Shuguang Academy is indeed a glimmer of light in the apocalypse. However, this glimmer of light only illuminates those who are capable.
While thinking, Chu Fei slowly raised his head, looked at Yunjuan Yunshu in the distance, and said quietly: "It is better to seek help from others than from yourself. Although my current cultivation level is good, it is only relative to students. In the society,
I'm afraid I won't even be able to make a splash.
If it hadn't been for the protection of Shuguang Academy this time, I might have died without knowing how.
If you want to gain a foothold in this world, it's not enough to just be better than your classmates.
I want to set my sights further. First, I want to become a true awakened person, a perfect awakened person, make a name for myself in Feihu City, and use my own abilities to gain a foothold of my own.
It's time to set a long-term goal for yourself.
It’s time to officially move towards becoming a ‘Doctor’.
However, let’s take a rest first.”
After saying that, Chu Fei fell down and fell asleep.
In Shuguang Academy, Chu Fei can relax and rest. Even in the Shuguang Special Forces in the underground world, Chu Fei still has to stretch his legs when resting.
After sleeping until around ten o'clock the next morning, Chu Fei got up and stretched. He felt refreshed, exhausted, and his thinking was clearer than ever.
In this state, Chu Fei understood everything with a thought.
Previously in the underground world, I had to unknowingly devote some energy to paying attention to the external environment, and my soul could not be relieved.
Now all the pressure is let go, the mind is clear - all the computing power is released, and you can think about everything with all your strength.
After clarifying his mind, Chu Fei quickly made new plans for his life.
The long-term plan is to become a "Ph.D."
But short-term planning requires careful consideration, such as doing a small study. But what to study?
Moreover, it is less than two months before the winter solstice, and there are three problems we need to face now:
First, cultivation, cultivation, and cultivation still need to be improved;
Second, regarding the sneak attack on the Dawn Team, we had made an agreement with Huang Gang when we set out ten days ago, and we would do a vote together after returning from the underground world;
The third is the academy’s dimensional space mission.
Of these three, the first is of course the most important. Without cultivation, everything is in vain.
While thinking, Chu Fei went to the cafeteria and walked around. It was not lunch time yet, and Chu Fei's story had not spread yet. When the cafeteria chef saw Chu Fei, he just smiled and said a few words of congratulations, and then handed the meat to the restaurant.
Porridge left for Chu Fei.
There is always meat porridge here in the cafeteria, and several portions are prepared according to different standards.
What Chu Fei wants now is just ordinary meat porridge, and he can just grab two buckets of the best. After cooperating with Dawn Team and Greedy Wolf Team, Chu Fei has always wanted this kind of meat porridge.
Returning to the dormitory, Chu Fei drank a bucket of meat porridge first, burped, and couldn't help but touch his stomach, "It feels good!"
In the underground world, you can eat freely and live barely, so how can the conditions in the academy be as good as this?
After eating and drinking, Chu Fei was still not in a hurry to do anything else. Instead, he first came to the small square in front of the door and practiced Tai Chi.
The autumn wind roared on the mountain, rolling up little bits of dust and fluttering yellow leaves, bypassing Chu Fei's body and flying down the cliff.
Unexpectedly, noon was here, and someone passed by and saw Chu Fei, but then left in a hurry. The intense pressure of study and survival left no one with enough time to gossip.
Only Chu Fei was accompanied by the autumn wind, and he practiced Tai Chi again and again. Until his stomach was empty, Chu Fei returned to the dormitory and drank a second bucket of meat porridge, and then continued to practice Tai Chi.
During this kind of exercise, Chu Fei silently felt the changes in his body.
Tai Chi mobilizes the biological energy in the body and continuously washes away the imperfections in the body.
During this underground mission, I drank a lot of potions, even used healing potions, etc.
As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison. No matter how excellent the medicine is, it is still an external force that will stimulate the body and invisibly increase the distortion index.
What Chu Fei is doing now is to "strengthen his foundation and cultivate his strength", strengthen his own foundation, and eliminate the stimulation caused by pharmaceuticals.
Especially this time, although the wound healed, the bullet still caused some invisible damage to the human body's energy system.
The energy system of the human body includes but is not limited to nerves, blood vessels, lymphatic structures, meridians, etc. Injury will cause changes in these structures, which is one of the causes of scars.
Scars mean imperfection. This is different from the original intention of pursuing perfection in big data practice.
If there's no other way, that's it.
But Chu Fei is different, Chu Fei has a way!
During the movement of Tai Chi, the energy in the body flows spontaneously. Then Chu Fei stimulated the "butterfly transformation" of the three wounds, forming a local liquefaction state.
Then, with the assistance of Tai Chi, the mental model is run to the limit to provide the body with sufficient computing power and allow the body to repair itself.
If you lift Chu Fei's clothes, you can see three huge scars on Chu Fei's chest and abdomen. They are like ice cubes placed in hot water, melting from all sides and being "swallowed" by the surrounding skin.
Within twenty minutes or so, when Chu Fei finished a session of Tai Chi, the scars on his body had completely disappeared, leaving only dots of white on the new skin.
Chu Fei touched the location of the original scar and smiled. Then he activated the butterfly transformation again and saw that another scar appeared.
But this time the scar is a pure disguise.
There is just one problem. Everything is fine with the butterfly transformation spell, but it is not permanent and requires continuous attention and energy consumption.
How to cure?
After thinking about it, Chu Fei suddenly smiled and said, "It just so happens that this should be my first research topic. Since you want to become a 'doctor', you must study something."
There is a saying that everything is difficult at the beginning, so let’s start from here.”
The idea suddenly dawned on him again, and a bright smile appeared on Chu Fei's face. Then he turned and walked down the mountain, but he went straight to the office of Tanlang Team. In the distance, he saw Liu Tingyun's elegant Tai Chi figure.
After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Liu Tingyun’s Tai Chi practice has changed again.
But what surprised Chu Fei even more was that there were many people around Liu Tingyun.
Sun Xiangqing was no longer the only one peeking, but many people were watching openly.
But looking at the way Liu Tingyun is completely immersed in her own world, it doesn't seem like she's teaching.
When Chu Fei arrived, he found Zhang Xuan, Li Honggang, and Lu Hong gathered together to observe, along with Guo Xuan and others.
Chu Fei saw everyone, and everyone also saw Chu Fei.
Sun Xiangqing waved to Chu Fei from afar, and Chu Fei nodded and waited quietly.
Liu Tingyun suddenly changed her Tai Chi posture and stopped after three or two moves.
While everyone was wondering, Liu Tingyun looked at Chu Fei and said with a smile, "Our little genius is back. I wonder what happened to our little genius?"
Everyone's eyes focused on Chu Fei.
Chu Fei smiled and said, "During this mission in the underground world, thanks to Sister Liu's guidance, I avoided a lot of mistakes. I went back to thank Sister Liu."
Liu Tingyun still maintained a faint smile, "Come here, I have been waiting for you for a day to tell you what happened during the mission."
Compared to the students who had limited information, Liu Tingyun had already obtained the information about the Greedy Wolf Team.
Chu Fei looked back at his classmates who didn't have much expression, then looked at Guo Xuan, and understood in his heart - after Guo Xuan came back, he actually kept tight-lipped and didn't publicize his performance everywhere.
After glancing at Guo Xuan, Chu Fei followed Liu Tingyun to the office.
After sitting down, Liu Tingyun said with a smile, "Yesterday, I heard for the first time what you had gained this time. I couldn't believe it. If the captain of the team hadn't told me the news personally, I would have even suspected that someone was playing a prank."
Chu Fei smiled and said, "It's just a fluke."
"This is not something you can do by luck. Can you tell me about your experience?"
Chu Fei gave a brief overview, which lasted less than three minutes. It was completely different from talking for more than three hours in front of the Young City Lord.
After hearing this, Liu Tingyun nodded slightly, "It's not easy, but do you really not know why the Golden Dragon Team attacked the Flying Tiger Team?"
Chu Fei looked surprised, "Why should I know?"
Liu Tingyun smiled, but changed the subject, "Tell me, what are you here for?"
Chu Fei scratched his head and said, "Let's see Sister Liu."
"Now that you've finished reading, is it time to go?"
Chu Fei made a gesture of surrender, "Okay, okay, I know you can't hide it from Sister Liu's sharp eyes. Sister Liu, I'm here for the dimensional matters on the winter solstice."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Tingyun's eyes suddenly narrowed, the faint smile on her face disappeared instantly, and there was a hint of murderous intent in her whole person. She said word by word, "Oh, what's wrong?"
Chu Fei did not pretend to be dumbfounded, and said seriously: "I remember Sister Liu said before that if I can bring back a ripe elf fruit, give me a magic weapon."
Liu Tingyun nodded slightly, "Why, do you want to ask for it in advance?"
"I want to buy it!" Chu Fei said word by word, "To be precise, it is an alternative mortgage. The magic weapon can increase my combat effectiveness and survivability.
Of course, I also know that the magic weapon is precious. So I thought of a compromise plan, I will buy it with money first, and after I bring back the elf fruit, Sister Liu will use the money to buy the elf fruit."
Liu Tingyun was stunned for a moment. She originally thought that Chu Fei's wings were stiff and she was going to make some excessive conditions, but she didn't expect it to be this.
This condition is really reasonable. However, there is still a problem.
After thinking for a while, Liu Tingyun nodded slowly, "Your proposal is very good. But there is a little problem in it."
Chu Fei was stunned, "What's the problem?"
Liu Tingyun smiled bitterly, "How much do you think a magic weapon, even the lowest-level magic weapon, should be worth?"
Chu Fei thought for a while and said, "Five million?"
Liu Tingyun nodded and asked, "Do you know how much an ordinary elf fruit costs?"
"Twenty thousand, ordinary immature elf fruit costs 20,000. Mature elf fruit, that is, enough for one year, may cost hundreds of thousands, or even more.
As for the elf fruit of the same vintage... I don’t know the price.”
Liu Tingyun added, "The problem lies here, to be precise, it lies in the price problem in Feihu City.
Feihu City is too small. Under normal circumstances, currency transactions in Feihu City are OK.
But in fact, real, scarce, precious, and powerful spiritual resources are often not traded in currency, but in barter.
Magical weapons are just like this.
The same is true for elf fruits in mature years.
It is difficult to give a definite price for these resources. Not only are they scarce, but the value in the eyes of different people is also very different, so transactions between everyone are barter.
If you want to buy this magic weapon, I don't know what price I should give you.
In other words, this thing is priceless.
The so-called priceless means that in the eyes of those who need it, it is worth millions, but in the eyes of those who do not need it, it may be worth tens of thousands, or even worthless."
Chu Fei scratched his head, "In other words, money is not everything?"
"Yes! Money is not everything. For the awakened, truly good resources come in barter.
The magic weapon I want to give you was valued at 800,000, but my psychological price is 8 million!"
Chu Fei suddenly realized, "Then Sister Liu thinks that the value of a mature elf fruit is equal to this magical weapon?"
Liu Tingyun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let me put it bluntly about computing power. My distortion index is very high, and I no longer dare to use ordinary medicines.
Only the elf fruit containing pure life energy can take me one step further.
For me, the price of Elf Fruit may be more than this magic weapon. After all, as my cultivation level improves, I can get more magic weapons."
Chu Fei smiled, "If that's the case, it would be no problem. I can buy this magic weapon first, and when I have the elf fruit, Sister Liu will buy the elf fruit from me."
The struggling look appeared on Liu Tingyun's face, the arrogant look, and the domineering look that slapped Feng Yuan away disappeared, and there was actually anxiety on her face.
This kind of anxiety is the worry caused by an awakened person facing the uncertainty of the future.
During hesitation, Liu Tingyun sighed: "How much are you prepared to buy?"
Chu Fei made a horoscope sign without hesitation, "Eight million!"
Liu Tingyun took a deep breath and said, "I am an awakened person and I am in urgent need of cultivation resources. If you give me the money, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy other resources."
Chu Fei immediately said, "If there are good resources, or I can't come back, then Sister Liu will buy the needed resources."
Liu Tingyun looked at Chu Fei and asked seriously, "I believe you are a smart person, you should secretly inquire about the price of the magic weapon.
Why are you still willing to spend eight million to buy it from me? And you still don’t know what the magic weapon I’m going to give you is!”
A series of information flashed through Chu Fei's mind instantly. In the underground world, Chu Fei spent money to inquire about a large amount of information, including of course information about magic weapons.
However, the information about the magic weapon that I got was not very good.
There are very few things that sell magic weapons for money. Those that do sell them for money mostly have problems of one kind or another.
Chu Fei didn't know what the magical weapon in Liu Tingyun's hand was, but Chu Fei thought he should take a gamble.
Eight million is a lot, but after all, money is an external possession.
Moreover, Chu Fei also had an idea to buy it in advance and have a look. If there is really a problem, the Elf Fruit will not be given to Liu Tingyun in the future.
In other words, by trading in advance, Chu Fei can take the initiative.
The most important thing is that Liu Tingyun has to send the money back in the end - if she gets the elf fruit.
Chu Fei had never really believed in Liu Tingyun, the "sister" who was cold first and then hot.
When did Liu Tingyun show affection? It was after she performed well enough, especially after she learned about Cao Liwen's explanation of the Elf Fruit, that she suddenly became affectionate.
While thinking, Chu Fei said, "I believe Sister Liu."
Liu Tingyun struggled for a while and finally made a decision, "I will lend you the magical weapon, and you don't have to give me anything.
You just need to give me an Elf Fruit after you succeed.
