Chapter 301 How bad can a person who loves worldly affairs be?

What does rural life look like in the interstellar age?

The answer is that it is no different from the past.

At most, some supporting facilities will be more advanced, such as buses or private cars, which will be able to fly.

But other than that, everything else is not much different from before.

The streets are still bustling with people, and the various small shops on both sides are full of the atmosphere of fireworks.

In fact, this is more in line with reality.

High technology always represents high cost, and many things will not become popular just because the times progress.

Of course, there is another point, that is, for the lower class people, there can be protection, but it cannot be given for free.

Thousands of years of experience, especially the experience of white people in Europe and the United States, perfectly proves this point.

High welfare will only breed parasites.

Therefore, if one wants to maintain high welfare, one can only rely on extracting resources from people other than these parasites.

This was the world more than a thousand years ago.

One billion people in Europe and the United States enjoy the highest welfare in the world, but the price is that the remaining seven billion people work like slaves for these one billion people.

Later, the Great Xia Empire dismembered Europe and the United States through a series of conspiracies, and then joined forces with the Russian Bear to embark on the interstellar age. At the same time, it was at that time that the people of Great Xia discovered that the squid race of the Blue Star had been bewitched by the foreign gods long ago.

Most of the natural disasters and man-made disasters on the blue planet are caused by this group of squids.

Therefore, with the advent of the interstellar age, the squid race was the first race on the blue planet to be completely wiped out.

Far away.

In a word, maintaining a good social system is to provide a bottom line for the people so that they do not fall into the abyss, such as medical insurance, infrastructure, transportation, living, water and electricity and so on. Only such a society can be positive and vibrant.

So, after coming to this small town in Maple Leaf Province and leaving that huge megacity, Li Zhongren actually felt very comfortable.

After all, this kind of place is the place he is familiar with.

"Give me a pancake."

After the interstellar age, the Daxia people united with the Russians and the Gallics to establish the Earth Federation. Since then, the Daxia people's footprints have spread all over the world.

You can see Daxia people and their business everywhere.

As the people of Daxia dispersed, Daxia's cuisine also spread throughout the world. Especially to those areas with a lack of food culture, it was basically a dimensionality reduction attack. Many local indigenous foods either disappeared directly or were improved and absorbed by the people of Daxia.

For example, the pancake he ordered had a label that said, “Authentic Maple Leaf Provincial Pancake.”

That’s because some local food from Maple Leaf Province was added here.

It's a pancake anyway, you can roll it up whatever you want.

"It tastes good."

After taking a bite of the hot pancake, Li Zhongren leaned against the wall and looked at the boss.

"Boss, I want to ask you something. Have you heard about Crystal Lake?"

"I heard."

The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, cleaning the residue on the frying pan with two spatulas in his hands.

"I was saying that those white people were courting death. They had to go into the deep forest in the middle of the night. It would be strange if they didn't get killed."

"Do you know the details?"

"Specifically, I just heard about it."

"I heard there used to be a school there, but it fell into disrepair. There might be ghosts or something. Then there was a group of Maple Leaf native youths. None of them were good people. Men and women were always messing around with Maple Leafs."

In the interstellar era, the Human Federation basically has the final say on Blue Star, but it does not forcibly implement Daxia's policies. Each locality still exercises self-control. Things like flying leaves are tantamount to cutting off one's own path in Daxia, but in Maple Leaf Province, it is legal.

However, Li Zhongren felt that this might also be a conspiracy of the top leaders of Daxia.

An alternative means to weaken these other ethnic groups.

He thought it was pretty good.

"And then these people go to that place and have a party, you know."

The boss winked at Li Zhongren, and naturally, Li Zhongren knew what he meant.

“There was even a video.”

The boss chuckled a few times.

"At that time, I was only in my twenties. I did watch the video. Those people were really awesome. They played so wildly."

"What happens next?"

"Then a big man over two meters tall, wearing a hockey mask and holding a machete, walked out of the water. He just walked out and killed all of them, then went back into the water."

"It's the same as the official intelligence."

Hearing this, Li Zhongren nodded secretly. What the boss said was all in the official intelligence, and he had also watched the original video.

"Are there any other stories that are only circulated in your area? Things about the Crystal Valley that outsiders don't know?"

"Nothing, what's the matter, you're a bounty hunter."

"Ah, I accepted this mission. Let's see if I can find any clues."

"I'm telling you, give up. This crappy mission is too much for an old man. That crappy school and the bottom of the lake have been turned upside down. There is no trace at all. The big man is probably a follower of an Outer God who passed by here, or he is simply an evil person who kills people for fun."

"Too."

Li Zhongren nodded. He never thought that he was smarter. If there had been no clues in a case for twenty years, he didn't believe that he could find any useful clues by asking a few questions here. However, he had to go. After all, he had to go through the motions.

So, after eating the pancake, Li Zhongren rode his hover motorcycle all the way out of the town and drove towards the Crystal Lake outside the town.

After a while, he saw the whole picture of Crystal Lake.

A wide lake with sparkling water like crystal, hence the name.

This unique reflection is due to the special water quality here.

Next to the lake, there is a school ruin that has become a site in disrepair.

"Hey guys, are any of you good at investigating cases?"

Arriving above the Crystal Lake, Li Zhongren looked down and said something in the sharing space.

"Let's try using the development magic."

After a long while, Li Harry replied.

"However, compressed development magic may not work. If it doesn't work, you can ask Hokage Lee. His Wood Release should be able to work."

"Ok."

Li Zhongren opened the red envelope and performed the development technique, but as expected, there was no feedback.

The lake was still sparkling, and in the school, the wind was still blowing the weeds swaying.

Then, he opened another red envelope, which contained Li Hokage's Wood Release Technique. Of course, because it had been compressed, this thing was more like a seed.

So Li Zhongren threw a seed down.

Now, all he could do was wait, wait for the seed to take root and sprout, and spread all over the ground and underground in the surrounding area.
The night was dark.

Li Zhongren camped by the lake in a tent. Outside the tent, a bonfire was burning. Li Zhongren sat beside the bonfire, quietly warming himself by the fire. It was already autumn in Maple Leaf Province, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge. It was a bit cold at night.

"Pfft~~"

Suddenly, the sound of plants breaking through the soil caught Li Zhongren's attention.

After a whole day and most of the night, these roots climbed almost the entire Crystal Lake, and finally gathered all the collected information. Li Zhongren stretched out his fingers and absorbed the chakra from the plant, and then all the information was transferred to his brain.

At that moment, it was as if he had climbed the entire Crystal Lake himself.

"I see."

After a long moment, Li Zhongren nodded slightly.

No wonder others have been searching for twenty years without any results, because they didn’t check correctly at all.

First of all, the murderer, or the monster, is still sleeping at the bottom of the Crystal Lake, but it is in a world between fantasy and reality, so ordinary detective methods are naturally useless.

Secondly, a ritual is required to wake up the monster and start killing.

In fact, the group of maple leaf natives who were flying leaves were hunted down and killed because they accidentally triggered the ritual.

These were all collected by Li Huoying through the Wood Release technique and sealing techniques from clues on this ancient land.

Finally, it is time to crack this ritual.

This point hits the mark. In a sense, this thing is like a sealing technique.

Therefore, Hokage Li's Wood Release also broke the process of this ritual.

It’s actually very simple. Someone just pinches your head and presses it into the water. It’s that simple.

But it sounds simple, but the truth is, the darkest place is the darkest. After all, no one filmed the process in the video. So, if you want to crack this ritual, first of all, you need a powerful wood escape technique to find the ritual itself, and you also need someone who is proficient in cracking it.

There must be some on Blue Star, but how could such a person come here to waste time for a mere provincial-level case? Their world is a sea of ​​stars.
"Grumpy"

Li Zhongren pressed himself into the water and shook it, and he felt that the atmosphere here had changed.

After a while, a strong man wearing a hockey mask and holding a machete in his hand really walked out of the water, and then walked straight towards Li Zhongren.

"Whoosh~"

"Dang~"

It didn't seem fast, but it gave people the feeling that it was impossible to dodge. It hit Li Zhongren's body and sent out sparks, because at that moment, Li Zhongren took a step forward and his resistance increased a thousand times.

"Knight's Secret Technique: Eight Gates Ninjutsu: Peacock Attack!!"

Li Zhongren activated the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu in an instant, and with extreme speed, he blasted seemingly endless punches at the masked man.

"Bang!!"

In an instant, the masked man was beaten into a pulp.

However, before the meat paste fell to the ground, it disappeared.

Instead, the masked man seemed to teleport and moved directly behind Li Zhongren, and slashed with his sword again.

This time, Li Zhongren dodged.

Because his intuition told him that he would be hurt if he was stabbed.

"interesting."

Li Zhongren moved away and looked at the masked man.

"First, immortality."

He began to conclude.

He was beaten into a pulp by his own fist towards Peacock, his body disappeared out of thin air, and he appeared out of thin air. In other words, he was immortal, at least, here in Crystal Lake, he was immortal.

"Second, attack evolution."

Each of his attacks would learn from the previous one. In other words, his thousand times resistance could withstand most attacks. Then this guy directly evolved a rule-based ability, conceptually cutting off everything the knife touched.

"He is definitely a very difficult guy. Unfortunately, you ran into me."

Li Zhongren smiled slightly and clapped his hands.

In an instant, with his fighting spirit as energy, four thick, golden chains flew out and locked up the big guy.

“Tangled.”

Finally, with a "poof", Li Zhongren took out a scroll, moved forward, and sealed it in the scroll.
"Interesting ability."

On the big screen, the battle between Li Zhongren and the Crystal Lake Monster was played.

Next to the screen was Su Ru and her father, the dean of Sapphire Academy.

"So, it was very powerful in that era?"

"No, the energy he uses still comes from the energy provided by the extraordinary panel."

Su San explained.

"In other words, a thousand years ago, many of his abilities were actually unusable."

"But here's the problem, old man. How did an ability that you can't use appear?"

"Of course it's the resurrection of spiritual energy from an earlier era."

Su San pressed the stars in the sky.

"Our blue planet is rotating around the Milky Way, not fixed in a stable position. As it rotates, we will enter a special area. In this area, spiritual energy will be strengthened, which is the so-called spiritual energy revival. But when we leave this area, spiritual energy will be weakened, which is the end of the law era."

"Of course, now that we humans have gathered the Heavenly Dao Computer, such things will no longer happen."

"But in ancient times, this was normal."

"So, he is actually the heir of a certain force?"

"Maybe, but a thousand years have passed, and it's hard to say whether that force still exists. Besides, this child has a good character. How bad can a person who likes worldly things be?"

"So what do you plan to do with him?"

"This mission is actually a test. We have already found a way to activate the Crystal Lake Monster. Even if he can't detect it, I will activate it for him. Now, he has passed the test perfectly. His character, strength, and accumulation are all sufficient."

"I plan to have him graduate directly in July of this year, and then participate in the elite selection competition for the entire Human Federation."

"It's a bit fast."

"No, not fast."

Su San shook his head.

"He is like a shriveled sponge, absorbing moisture like crazy. It won't be long before he completely integrates what he has learned with the extraordinary panel. He will definitely be the strongest among the new generation."

"Participate in the elite selection competition."

“He can be nurtured.”

"Can this old man gain fame?"

“Humanity gets the future.”

“Kill three birds with one stone.”
