Chapter 104: A Brief Rest

After returning from the Resident Evil world, Zhang Xuan's life became quite leisurely.

He basically spent every day walking around his home, while also taking time to provide guidance to Ye Fan's parents, and even the parents of Pang Bo and others.

"MOSS, report the cultivation progress of the various people who went to Beidou and their parents and relatives."

In front of Zhang Xuan, the display screen, which had been completely renovated and occupied nearly half the wall, showed the image of Alice appearing at the top, dressed in a light pink dress.

The dress was very cool and revealing; her arms, like white lotus roots, were exposed, and even the white sports bra underneath was visible, appearing both sexy and casual.

As displayed on the screen, she held a pointer in her hand, which she pointed toward a human model in front of her.

That human model was clearly Ye Fan's father; the model was simulated and outlined by countless data points, appearing only as a transparent figure, yet the relevant meridians and acupoints were displayed inside.

"Ye Fan's father has already mastered the Wudang Pure Yang Skill, and his Internal Energy can already perform a Small Heavenly Cycle. His wife can also reach this level, but because they are both quite old, their meridians still appear somewhat fragile when the Internal Energy circulates."

"Even with the master helping them build their foundation and enter the path, there will still be significant difficulties in subsequent cultivation, and there will be some problems in opening up the relevant Shenfeng and Quchi acupoints."

"According to normal theoretical deduction models, it is very difficult for them to open the Ren and Du Meridians, connect the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, and achieve the Innate Realm."

The Red Queen, renamed MOSS by Zhang Xuan, spoke about this in a very logical and organized manner.

After Zhang Xuan provided the relevant cultivation knowledge and internal energy techniques, the key points of cultivation, and asked Zhang Sanfeng about the critical aspects of each stage, MOSS had already constructed a complete theoretical model.

It could quite easily allow the several elderly people to perform the relevant exercises and could construct corresponding human models.

Moreover, with the help of MOSS, there was quite a lot that Zhang Xuan could do.

At the very least, he dared to confidently and boldly act as a backer for the many people who had boarded the Bronze Ancient Coffin.

In the early days, without the help of this artificial intelligence, there were many things Zhang Xuan wanted to do but dared not, fearing that exposing himself would bring about a fatal disaster. Now that his strength and realm had risen, and with the assistance of artificial intelligence,

Zhang Xuan's courage had grown much larger.

Through the powerful capabilities related to the internet, Zhang Xuan directly had MOSS connect to the largest domestic internet service providers, borrowing part of their server computing power. This gave MOSS the true appearance of an artificial intelligence, and breaking through any firewall or accessing relevant data became very easy.

Of course, Zhang Xuan could not be bothered to do such things.

He simply threw the money he had accumulated over these years directly to MOSS, letting MOSS invest in the stock trading market.

For MOSS, the entire internet and related data were under its surveillance; it did not need to do any insider trading or investigations, as it could directly determine the relevant information.

Fair and square, it allowed Zhang Xuan's original six-figure savings to double within a few days, and it was expected to double many more times in the time to come.

Wealth had been achieved in a very short time, and Zhang Xuan even had a strange feeling.

Things that one could not obtain after struggling for a lifetime were now obtained easily, and without spending much effort.

"Hiccup!"

After taking a large gulp of "fatty happy water," Zhang Xuan let out a comfortable hiccup.

Feeling that puff of gas rush straight from his stomach to his crown, his whole body felt a unique sense of refreshment.

"This is the life a person should live!"

Zhang Xuan sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Since returning, he had been lying down for several days, barely moving at all.

On Alice's side, things were gradually getting on the right track; the Umbrella Corporation did not drop a nuclear bomb, and the self-rescue of Raccoon City had achieved great results.

Alice and the many people in the police department whom Zhang Xuan had initially called to action had become heroic figures, gaining immense prestige in Raccoon City.

In the process of Raccoon City gradually returning to calm, this group of people had basically become the rulers in a true and practical sense.

As for the councilors of Raccoon City who nominally held legal authority, they had long since run away; they had fled the area before the incident even arrived.

After the relevant issues were exposed, the prestige of Alice and the others reached its peak, and they became the true rulers of Raccoon City.

The related virus was still spreading, but it had been brought under a certain degree of control.

Moreover, the speed of transmission had also been suppressed, and it had not reached the point of being completely out of control.

However, other places were not copying Raccoon City's homework very well, and a not-so-small crisis would still erupt from time to time.

But the overall situation could be considered stable with progress, no longer as high-risk as it was at the beginning.

Zhang Sanfeng and Li Xiaoyao were wandering around daily, and what made Zhang Xuan feel slightly surprised was that Li Xiaoyao was also practicing the techniques of the Zhetian World, and was even practicing the Dao Scripture.

The Dao Scripture progressed steadily, and he had already reached the Life Spring level, capable of flying off the ground.

Silently contemplating and recalling this, Zhang Xuan could not help but mourn for the many characters in the Xianjian World, especially the final top big boss, Bai Yue.

With Li Xiaoyao's talent and his subsequent cultivation level, it was very likely that he would truly beat Bai Yue up properly later on, and even the Sword Saint, who had always been hiding behind the scenes in Shushan, might be beaten up by Li Xiaoyao.

During the past two days, when he had time, he had also chatted in the Chat Group, and Li Xiaoyao discovered that devouring heavenly treasures and monster Inner Cores greatly increased his cultivation speed.

Therefore, for these days, he had been addicted to "wild hunting" in the wilderness.

Living with the descendant of Nuwa, Zhao Ling'er, every day, he spent his days very happily.

Zhang Sanfeng was also happy to follow him around; after all, Li Xiaoyao often ran into all kinds of monsters and was able to turn bad luck into good fortune. At the same time, with the descendant of Nuwa by his side, he had experienced all kinds of magical events, which was also quite comfortable.

As for Xiong Ba, after submitting the relevant Blood Bodhi, he didn't say much and hadn't surfaced since.

He had always been an old schemer; many times, he would keep many things in his heart and would not directly reveal them.

But Zhang Xuan roughly knew Xiong Ba's thoughts; Xiong Ba must have seen the various top-tier techniques in the Group File, so he wanted to collect more points, and when he had enough points, he would directly exchange them for a top-tier technique.

Pure newcomers generally had this kind of thinking.

Qiao Feng and Zhang Sanfeng communicated very happily, as both were broad-minded people.

They were daily exchanging insights related to martial arts, and at the same time, Zhang Sanfeng would teach Qiao Feng some history related to later generations.

Zhang Xuan had peeked at it; he had the permission to do so.

Qiao Feng was greatly shocked to learn that later on, it was not the Khitan who occupied the land of the Song Dynasty, nor was it the Song Dynasty that wiped out the entire Khitan, but that both the Song Dynasty and the Khitan were wiped out by the Great Yuan, which was far beyond Mongolia.

He resolved to work hard and was determined to change the current environment.

Together, they would create a peaceful and stable world.

However, for Zhang Xuan, the overall world seemed a bit boring.

Whether it was changing the current pattern of the Song Dynasty to save that "Southern Coward," or helping Zhang Sanfeng go on a killing spree in the world of Xianjian, he had no interest in it.

Zhang Xuan, on the contrary, was addicted to making money every day, busy doubling his assets on Earth in the Zhetian World.

In his spare time, he would run over to the Resident Evil world to spend some tender moments with Alice, and while he was at it, harvest the many dead masters, sweeping them up with his Great Dao Treasure Bottle Seal before sending them into an incinerator to be burned together.

The days were tense and fulfilling, but in truth, they were also slightly boring.

Ever since Meng Qi learned of his future, he had been quite well-behaved in the world of The One and Only, completing the relevant side quests as if he were fulfilling tasks for an NPC.

However, in secret, he was stealthily practicing the methods related to the Inner Heaven and Earth of the Shenmu World, having already swallowed quite a few Universe Light Fragments, and the cultivation of his true self, which originated from Earth, was advancing by leaps and bounds.

His overall strength was progressing steadily, and his life was quite comfortable and very enviable.

As for the biggest BOSS in the Chat Group, Qingdi, who currently possessed the highest strength realm and level, he had been in seclusion the entire time; Zhang Xuan had peeked at his screen for a while and discovered that Qingdi had been in a state of cultivation throughout.

He estimated that Qingdi should be contemplating the Eight-Nine Profound Art from The One and Only.

For figures like Zhang Xuan and Zhang Sanfeng who were at low realms, their strength and realm could advance by leaps and bounds in a short period, and the speed was very fast.

At the very least, it had not taken Zhang Xuan much time to break through from Tier 1 to Tier 4.

It had not taken Zhang Sanfeng long to go from the completion of Tier 2 to the level of Tier 4, and the strength and realms of the other figures who joined the Chat Group basically improved rapidly in a short time; the only one whose strength and realm remained unmoved was Qingdi.

It was not that Qingdi's talent and comprehension were inferior to anyone else in the Chat Group; on the contrary, in terms of talent alone, Qingdi's talent and aptitude belonged to the very top first tier in the current Chat Group.

The reason Qingdi had been unable to break through for so long was not because Qingdi was inferior.

It was rather that Qingdi's strength and realm were too high, and therefore he could not reach a higher level in a short time; after all, Qingdi had already reached the ceiling in the world he inhabited, and the next step was to truly become a Red Dust Immortal.

With the strength and realm he possessed, it was simply impossible to break through in a short time.

At his level of strength and realm, even if there were relevant ways and methods to break through, the time required for such a breakthrough would be calculated in hundreds of thousands of years.

For a moment, the many figures within the entire Chat Group fell silent; there was not much going on, and Zhang Xuan felt a bit idle, not knowing what he should do.

He felt a bit lazy all of a sudden.

"Sigh, although I know the relevant Darkness is coming in two hundred years, that time is too far off; it keeps giving me a sense of pressure, but I don't have much motivation either!"

Zhang Xuan took a ripe Kunlun Flat Peach and bit into it, and the rich juice splashed out instantly.

With a light suck, the juice surged into his body and was then absorbed by his Bitter Sea, where a crimson tide rolled.

"Is there any new progress on the exploration of the Kunlun Mountains? Any new gains from monitoring the Western Church, especially the area around the Vatican?"

Changing to a more comfortable position, the reclining Zhang Xuan asked moss.

moss remained in its mechanical, electronic synthesized voice.

"The relevant monitoring has been ongoing; we have been using satellites for remote monitoring of the West, but there have been no major gains, and we can only confirm that there are powerful practitioners on that side.

Under the premise of not exposing ourselves, we can only discover that there are many hidden, uncertain magnetic fields over there.

As for the Kunlun Mountains side, dozens of drone sorties have been sent deep into them, but once they go too deep, they are affected by the relevant electronic signals; currently, there are not many gains, and the drones have basically all crashed."

moss's report was quite detailed, with intelligence from all aspects gathered; as it reported, the image of Alice appeared vividly on the display screen in front of him.

Just like a lecture in a classroom, when reporting the relevant situation, it not only explained with voice but also displayed the relevant photos on the screen in synchronization.

Among them were scenes of many Western figures on pilgrimages, as well as the towering and majestic aura of the Kunlun Mountains.

However, moss also strictly followed Zhang Xuan's requirements regarding monitoring the West, as the West's technological weapons and current corresponding strength could be considered outstanding.

Therefore, it only used normal satellites and surveillance cameras, completely utilizing public facilities to monitor the area where the Western Vatican was located in a silent and unobtrusive manner.

Zhang Xuan knew that there was currently King-level combat power on that side, and there were even Half-Saint level figures there.

He had experienced a round of the world before and had some growth, feeling a bit inflated, and then looking at the photos taken by the satellite in space, the figure at the bottom of the photo seemed to have a faint perception, and his heart suddenly felt a chill.

That was definitely a Church Leader-level figure.

As for the relevant exploration of the Kunlun Mountains, it had basically hit a dead end; Zhang Xuan had originally thought that in an End of Dharma Era like Earth, which was nearly a period of spiritual extinction, sending corresponding drones or corresponding technology to explore might allow him to find those ninety-nine Dragon Veins.

If by some stroke of luck he happened to find a path and successfully walked to the place where the Immortal Cauldron was gestated, that would definitely be a stroke of tremendous luck.

Unfortunately, the ideal was plump, but reality was skinny.

Once the relevant drones and technological equipment penetrated deep into the Kunlun Mountains, they would naturally be affected by some kind of magnetic field inside the Kunlun Mountains, and there was simply no way to go too deep.

Currently, dozens of sorties had been sent, and basically, as soon as they penetrated slightly into the Kunlun Mountains, all signals were lost, and not a single piece of useful information was brought back.

Although Zhang Xuan felt it was a pity, there was nothing he could do.

"There really isn't any possibility of cutting corners; I have to rely on hard power to walk through it. After all, I am not Ye Fan."
