Chapter 264: Search Engines Can Search for Sentences

After Dugu Yan browsed through the data, she felt a bit at a loss; the main issue was that there was too much data, and she did not know where to start looking.

She entered the word "poison" into the search box, and the search results returned over four hundred thousand entries.

Seeing this result, Dugu Yan's pupils dilated instantly.

Heavens!

How long would it take to read all of this?

Even if she read it day by day, it would take several years.

Being able to search for the data gave Dugu Yan a glimmer of hope.

But the sheer volume of results made her feel somewhat desperate.

She would rather work hard at Cultivation of soul skills than read data.

Suddenly, she remembered that the Spirit Hall Logistics Department could exchange for medicinal pills.

Perhaps the pills would have an effect; it was normal that her grandfather didn't know about the pills since he had been inside for so long, so she could try it herself.

Dugu Yan opened the Mobile Phone store directly and quickly found the Detoxification Pill.

There were three types in total: Hundred Poison Detoxification Pill, Thousand Poison Detoxification Pill, and Ten Thousand Poison Detoxification Pill.

The Hundred Poison Detoxification Pill was relatively cheap, costing only one thousand points per pill, and it was also the best-selling; general poisons could all be neutralized using the Hundred Poison Detoxification Pill.

The sales of the Thousand Poison Detoxification Pill were significantly lower, yet the price was several times that of the Hundred Poison Detoxification Pill, at five thousand points per pill.

As for the most powerful Ten Thousand Poison Detoxification Pill, it was quite expensive, at ten thousand points per pill.

After an average person was poisoned, if the toxicity was not strong, they would first purchase the Hundred Poison Detoxification Pill; if the Hundred Poison Detoxification Pill could not resolve it, they would then purchase the Thousand Poison Detoxification Pill, and only as a last resort would they purchase the Ten Thousand Poison Detoxification Pill.

When encountering faster-acting poisons, people would generally take the Ten Thousand Poison Detoxification Pill directly.

Therefore, among the three types of pills, the sales of the Thousand Poison Detoxification Pill were actually the lowest.

Although the introductory data for the pills clearly stated which poisons they could neutralize, the information was too extensive; who would remember this, and after being poisoned, there was no time for them to recall which type of Detoxification Pill to take.

All the toxins inside Dugu Yan's body had fused together and had long since turned into Mixed Poison.

Mixed Poison was also the most difficult poison to neutralize, and for a moment, she really did not know which pill would be useful.

She purchased one of each of the three pills directly; Dugu Yan had quite a lot of points, most of which were wages from her previous work.

Formal jobs at the Spirit Hall provided both food and housing, so if one did not purchase resources for Cultivation, there were very few places to spend money.

After placing the order and paying, a Transfer Array pattern appeared on the Mobile Phone, and then the three pills appeared.

Dugu Yan took the three pills, and the Transfer Array vanished.

Dugu Yan released a tiny bit of toxin from her soul bone; as soon as the toxin entered her body, it spread everywhere.

Because the toxin was minimal, relying on Dugu Yan's strength, she could completely suppress it, so she was not worried that the pills would fail to neutralize the toxicity; at worst, she could force it back into the soul bone.

Subsequently, she took the Hundred Poison Detoxification Pill; as soon as the Detoxification Pill entered her body, it dissolved directly, spread out, and quickly encountered the toxin.

The two sides engaged in battle, and the result was soon clear.

A small portion of the toxin was removed, and while the medicinal properties of the Detoxification Pill were not yet exhausted, it could not neutralize the remaining toxin.

Dugu Yan forced these toxins back into the soul bone and released a sliver of new toxin again, until the medicinal properties of the Detoxification Pill were exhausted.

The Hundred Poison Detoxification Pill could only neutralize a portion of her Mixed Poison, and while the medicinal potency was still strong, it could decompose about 10% of the toxicity.

Dugu Yan tested the other two types of Detoxification Pills as well.

The final result was that the Ten Thousand Poison Detoxification Pill could neutralize 80% of the toxicity of her poison.

Seeing this result, Dugu Yan was very happy and snuck into the prison again that night to tell her grandfather about this matter.

She could completely suppress the remaining 20% of the toxicity.

She had originally thought her grandfather would be very happy that she had found a time-saving and effortless method, but her grandfather's words were completely the opposite.

Her grandfather asked her a question directly: what if the soul bone eventually became filled with the remaining 20% of the toxicity?

Therefore, the Detoxification Pill only served as a palliative measure; when one truly could not hold on, taking the Detoxification Pill would neutralize a portion of the toxin.

However, the toxin that could not be neutralized would eventually fill the soul bone, and at that time, the Detoxification Pill would also be useless; it would still be a dead end.

Her grandfather's words were like a basin of water splashed onto Dugu Yan, instantly sobering her up.

What had she been thinking before?

After seeing her grandfather, she had let her guard down.

Thinking about it, it felt a bit ridiculous.

Over the next few days, Dugu Yan read more than three thousand pieces of data, and her head felt several sizes larger, yet she did not see anything useful.

Because her job was supervision, it was very relaxed, and she could have a lot of time to read data.

Every time she finished reading a piece of data that was useless to her, she would complain a few times.

A colleague nearby heard her complaints and asked about it.

Dugu Yan had been tortured enough by reading data these past few days, so she started chatting with her colleague.

After the colleague finished listening to her complaints, they looked at her Mobile Phone and saw at a glance that there was only the word "poison" in the search box above, and they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Dugu Yan, who had been complaining, couldn't help but feel a bit angry when she saw her colleague laughing at her.

Seeing that Dugu Yan was angry, the colleague quickly said:

"Dugu Yan, do you rarely use your Mobile Phone to look up data?"

After the colleague finished speaking, they looked at Dugu Yan with a smile on their face.

"Say what you have to say!"

Seeing the colleague's expression, Dugu Yan said unpleasantly.

"Don't be angry; I just couldn't help but laugh for a moment, I really wasn't mocking you."

Seeing Dugu Yan's expression change slightly, the colleague hurriedly explained.

"What exactly do you mean? Are you going to say it or not? If not, I'm going to ask someone else."

Dugu Yan clearly did not want to listen to this colleague's nonsense anymore.

"Alright, alright, you're getting impatient, I'll tell you, won't I! You can input sentences into that search box."

"What do you mean?"

The colleague spoke very bluntly, and Dugu Yan didn't react immediately.

"You don't understand this? If you input the word 'poison', the search results will be all the data regarding poison, but a lot of it isn't what you need. If you directly input 'how to solve toxin problems for poison martial soul', you can filter out a lot of unnecessary data."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan suddenly realized, feeling as if her intelligence had been crushed.

She had used the Mobile Phone for a short time, and there weren't many entertainment apps on it now, so she hadn't studied it much.

With the colleague saying it like this, she only now realized that this function could actually be used this way; she had indeed thought about it a bit too simply before, and had never thought about inputting sentences at all.

Among them, the first to come into contact with the Mobile Phone was Tang San; back in the Extreme North, he even arranged for a bunch of people to copy data, transcribing many soul skills.

After arriving at Wuhun City, it was also Tang San who first mentioned the Mobile Phone; she, Yu Xiaogang, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were all taught how to use the Mobile Phone by Tang San, and he never mentioned that the search box could take sentences.

Suddenly thinking of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, they were studying every day now, reading a lot of data daily, especially Yu Xiaogang, who had become obsessed; she guessed that even now, they probably didn't know about this function!

Afterwards, Dugu Yan took out her Mobile Phone and input: how to solve toxin problems for poison martial soul.

Then the Fruiting came out, with only twenty documents of data.

Seeing this Fruiting, Dugu Yan was so angry she almost dropped her Mobile Phone.

The colleague nearby, seeing Dugu Yan's gnashing teeth, glanced at her search results—only twenty entries; how many did Dugu Yan say she had read before? Over three thousand?

Thinking of this, the colleague really couldn't hold it in and started laughing while clutching their stomach.

Seeing the colleague laughing until they were almost cramping, Dugu Yan felt very depressed and kicked the chair the colleague was sitting on; the colleague didn't sit steady and fell straight onto the floor on their butt.

"Dugu Yan, you return kindness with enmity!"

Seeing the colleague's state, Dugu Yan also started laughing "hahaha".

After work, Dugu Yan returned to her residence; she originally wanted to take out her Mobile Phone to check data, but suddenly thought of something.

Then she input into the search box: food that permanently increases attributes.

The Fruiting appeared instantly, with only a short eighty-seven entries; the first article introduced the sources of food that permanently increase attributes, and the rest introduced various foods.

Seeing this Fruiting, Dugu Yan couldn't hold it in anymore; she clutched her stomach, lay on her side on the bed, and laughed non-stop, unable to stop, even laughing until tears came out.

After laughing for more than half an hour, Dugu Yan finally held it in; if she didn't stop, she would have laughed herself into a cramp.

Right, there was also Tang San; wasn't he studying the Array?

She had heard before that he had already learned the third one of the fire-attribute arrays, which seemed to be called the Fire Ring Array.

Tang San said this array had many array pattern routes, and he was still deducing the correct array pattern routes, but the Array was too complex, and there were many types of route arrangements.

Tang San had spoken very eloquently before; Dugu Yan hadn't listened carefully, but that was roughly the meaning.

Dugu Yan took out her Mobile Phone and input the four characters: Fire Ring Array.

Then the Fruiting came out, with only eleven entries.

Dugu Yan opened the first one, and it contained the correct route for the array patterns; the following ten entries were all explaining practical applications.

Having just managed to stop laughing, she broke down again at this moment, unable to hold it in any longer.

"Hahaha..."

Bursts of loud laughter came from Dugu Yan's residence.

The place where Dugu Yan lived was uniformly arranged, and colleagues lived nearby.

"Is this Dugu Yan crazy? She laughed for a long time just now, and now she's started laughing again?"

The neighbors around felt that Dugu Yan was too abnormal today; she was usually not one to laugh or joke, but today she laughed too loudly.

Dugu Yan, please return to your original cold and aloof appearance.

After laughing for a long time, Dugu Yan was finally tired of laughing, and her stomach was still cramping a bit, so she finally stopped.

But as soon as she thought about it subconsciously, she wanted to laugh again.

She opened her Mobile Phone, wanting to look at the data she needed, but she kept losing focus, thinking of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang from time to time, and then couldn't help but want to laugh, unable to concentrate on reading the data.

She really wanted to run in front of the two of them right now and tell them about this operation; she really wanted to see what kind of expressions the two of them would have.

Dugu Yan had already imagined many types of expressions for the two, and each one could make Dugu Yan laugh for half a day.

Ever since Dugu Bo was captured, Dugu Yan had never laughed again, always holding a breath in her heart.

Now that the matter in her heart was put down, Dugu Yan had returned to her former personality; although she was still a bit cold and aloof, she was no longer someone who didn't laugh or joke.

Dugu Yan tried hard to calm her mood, warning herself that her own problems hadn't been solved yet and she needed to read the data, but it was completely useless, and in the end, she could only put down the Mobile Phone.

The day after tomorrow, everyone was going to meet once, get together, and talk about their recent gains.

This time she must call Yu Xiaogang; even if he was very smelly, she would endure it this time.

Dugu Yan really couldn't look at the data anymore, so she directly started Cultivation; she didn't know how to perform Cultivation after becoming a god, so she still followed the old method of Cultivation, although this could only recover some soul power, she had been practicing like this for so many years and was used to it.

That's right, after the five of them, Tang San included, became gods, the path of Cultivation was broken; perhaps when they reached the God Realm, there would be gods to teach them how to comprehend the Rule, but for now, after they became gods, the god only told them to overthrow the Spirit Hall, and said nothing else.

Comprehending the Rule could only be done by oneself; it wasn't among the rewards of the God Trial.

The five of them were all inheritors of a God Position; once they ascended to the God Realm and inherited the God Position, the rules related to the God Position would be easy to comprehend, and then they could quickly practice to the upper limit of the God Position.

After that, it would be very difficult to break through the upper limit of the God Position.

If one didn't have a God Position, it would just take a longer time, but the final result of Cultivation could potentially exceed the upper limit of the God Position.

It was precisely for this reason that those gods with a God Position thought of a shortcut: after practicing the God Position to the upper limit, they would pass on the God Position, thereby gaining their own liberation and being able to practice to a higher level.

In their eyes, the God Position was just a transitional tool, to be discarded after use; although passing on the God Position would temporarily lower their strength, compared to practicing to a higher level, this was nothing.

The time for the small gathering arrived, and Dugu Yan was very excited.

She had been looking forward to today arriving quickly all day yesterday, hadn't slept well at night due to excitement, and kept losing focus at work during the day, laughing uncontrollably several times.

When a colleague asked her what was wrong, she just smiled and found an excuse to brush the colleague off.

At the small gathering today, Dugu Yan arrived first, and afterwards called Yu Xiaogang, telling him he must be present today.

Under Dugu Yan's expectant gaze, the others slowly arrived one by one.

"How is everyone doing lately? Have you made any new discoveries?"

Dugu Yan wore a smile and spoke first.

"I'm still the same, don't even ask. The third Array is too difficult. My Spirit Power is sufficient, but I still haven't found the correct array pattern route."

Tang San was a bit troubled now; he had tried over a thousand times and still hadn't found the correct array pattern route. If it weren't for his colleagues constantly encouraging him, he would have really wanted to give up.

"Is that so? Master, how about you? How is your research going?"

Dugu Yan held her breath, refraining from breathing, and asked the master, Yu Xiaogang.

"I have already found an introduction to a type of food that permanently increases attributes, and I am still researching it."

Hearing Yu Xiaogang say this, it seemed that the information Yu Xiaogang saw was not the first article that came up in the search, but rather an introduction to food further down.

"The two of us are still the same, exploring shops and eating and drinking every day, while incidentally recruiting some association members."

Oscar spoke up before Dugu Yan could ask.

"It seems none of you have made any gains!"

Dugu Yan said, suppressing her laughter. Although she held it in and didn't laugh out loud, Tang San still noticed.

"Dugu Yan, it looks like you've made a great discovery!"

Tang San stared at Dugu Yan and said earnestly.

"Mm, during this period of time, I learned how to use a Mobile Phone."

"Tch, just that?"

As soon as Dugu Yan finished speaking, the loose-lipped Ma Hongjun followed up.

"Ma Hongjun, don't interrupt, let Dugu Yan finish."

Tang San felt that Dugu Yan definitely had something important to say. Ever since she arrived here, the smile on Dugu Yan's face hadn't stopped, so he felt there was something to it.

"I'll demonstrate it for you all. Tang San, you're still studying the Fire Ring Array, right? Look!"

Dugu Yan operated it for a moment and handed the Mobile Phone to Tang San. Tang San didn't understand what Dugu Yan was trying to do, but this was a page he looked at every day.

"Look!"

Dugu Yan urged him. Only then did Tang San take the Mobile Phone. After seeing the content on the Mobile Phone, his eyes widened directly, and then he tapped on the Mobile Phone.

After looking for two or three seconds, Tang San slammed a fist onto the table, suddenly lifted his head, and looked at Dugu Yan.

The others were also startled by Tang San's reaction.

"What's wrong? What's on Dugu Yan's Mobile Phone?"

The others were also very curious now, but Tang San was already immersed in the information and ignored the others.

"Master, give me your Mobile Phone. After I operate it, you can take a look."

Dugu Yan skillfully operated the master's Mobile Phone; this action seemed to have been practiced many times.

When Yu Xiaogang took the Mobile Phone and saw the information on it, he made an even more exaggerated gesture than Tang San: he slapped himself across the face.

"Ah, it really hurts. It's not a dream, this time it's not a dream."

Yu Xiaogang was so happy he jumped straight up and said loudly.

During this period, for the sake of his research, he had been reading information day and night, reading every piece of information very carefully, fearing that he might miss one that introduced food that permanently increased attributes. He had even dreamed several times that he had found the relevant information.

Just now, after Dugu Yan handed over the Mobile Phone, he saw that it was all information about food that permanently increased attributes. Fearing he was still dreaming, he slapped himself directly.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun also ran behind Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, and after seeing the information on their Mobile Phones, they were also very surprised.

"Dugu Yan, how did you do this?"

Oscar asked. It was clear he didn't know either, and hadn't noticed the search bar above.

Hearing Oscar's question, Tang San reluctantly put down the Mobile Phone, and Yu Xiaogang also put down his Mobile Phone. Then, several people stared at Dugu Yan in unison, their faces full of curiosity.

She just wanted to see this expression on them.

"Hahaha, don't look at me like that. I already said, my biggest gain was learning how to play with a Mobile Phone. You all look at that search bar area; that is where you can input sentences. This way, we can filter out a lot of information we don't need, allowing us to find what we need faster."

Dugu Yan said. Everyone took out their own Mobile Phones. Text had already been entered into the input boxes of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's Mobile Phones, while Oscar and Ma Hongjun typed in a string of text themselves and began to search.

A moment later, they were all filled with regret.

Especially Yu Xiaogang, who was practically gnashing his teeth.

"Tang San, when you taught us how to use the Mobile Phone, why didn't you say it had this function?"

"I... I... I didn't know either. I figured it out all by myself, and I didn't discover that."

"You..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Dugu Yan spoke up:

"Everyone bought new Mobile Phones this time. There is a manual inside the box, and a part of it explains how to operate it. Did none of you read it?"

It would have been fine if Dugu Yan hadn't said anything, as they could have pushed the responsibility onto Tang San, but now, they really hadn't read the manual she mentioned.

Tang San bought his Mobile Phone the earliest and taught them how to use it hand-in-hand; they only bought theirs after they learned.

Since they had already learned, why would they read a manual?

Not to mention Tang San; the first Mobile Phone he obtained was made by illegal researchers and didn't have a manual at all.

So during this time, Yu Xiaogang had completely wasted his effort, and Tang San had also wasted two months.

Who could they reason with?
