I can downgrade maintenance

Chapter 144 Energy Freedom
24 hours after the demon operation officially started.

The main force of killing demons is still outside.

Zhou Ning is 'counting money' in the newly created nest.

He likes the way it feels now.It's not the feeling of counting money, but the feeling of having a nest to rely on.

Some people say that life is reincarnation again and again, the longer you live, the stronger the sense of sight you encounter, the core is the same, just change the skin.

Zhou Ning gradually had a similar feeling.

Just like the nether world created by the demon, it has a strong sense of sight for him, just like traveling through the early days and facing the dangerous wilderness.

He can indeed chop off monster heads rolling.

But danger and the unknown are still the main theme, and it is still vaguely weird.

At the beginning, he also hunted evil beasts during the day and guarded against nightmares at night, but was he safe?Obviously not.

Once you go deep into the wilderness, God knows what kind of weirdness you will encounter, even during the day.

At night, it is the world of nightmares. If you feel that it is not enough, you can pull down the three value and then face the dark and evil world. You will definitely have a different experience.

Until now, he didn't dare to say that he could go freely into the night wilderness under the low San value.

It's just that for some things, once the time is prolonged, you will gradually get used to it, become numb, and at the same time try to figure out how to handle it.

He now understands how to deal with the nightmares and the unknown in the wilderness, so he can also say that he can't die if he doesn't do anything.

But this Netherworld is different. Here, he is not sure about controlling the situation.

Even if he wins several times in a row, he still cannot be sure.

Zhuang was still sitting with the demons, and he hadn't made any obvious movements yet.

In addition, it has been basically determined that there is indeed a powerful existence in the demon that can threaten his life, even if he tries his best, there is still a powerful existence that may seriously damage his vitality.

He naturally entered the defensive counterattack mode.

Now that the lair is basically completed, it immediately feels more at ease.

I was finally able to calm down and check my recent harvest.

Before harvesting, a loss is identified.

The two shadow guards who secretly protected the Golden Crow Temple team were confirmed dead in battle.

It is hard to break an earthen pot from the mouth of the well, and the general will inevitably die before the battle.

But the shadow guards are all at the Nascent Soul level, their vigilance is high enough, and they are good at shadow escape. It is absolutely extraordinary that they can obliterate two shadow guards who are acting together.

Zhou Ning did not have enough information to link the death of the shadow guard with Mrs. Long.

He suspected that it was Tianmo who was annoyed at the shadow guard's meddling in his own business, and acted angrily.

This loss is a little regrettable.

After all, Yuanying is not a Chinese cabbage. The Yuanying real people under his command were all recruited by the underworld when he was the Holy Envoy of the Shadow Dao, and there were only 23 in total.

Later, although some voted for their reputation, they were not of high cultivation.

After all, light energy is not enough to provide shelter, practice requires resources.As for Glazed Light City and Shanhai City, they are just miracles of fortification in the eyes of mortals, and they are not considered bonus points for monks.

In addition to the loss of the war, there is also the loss of the war.

Whether it is the establishment of the bridgehead of the Shadow Army, or the leadership of the Lingxiu to brush up resources and levels, there are more or less war losses.

Energy and resources are the bulk, and then there is the depreciation of utensils and the cost of personnel damage.

Raising soldiers is really expensive.

Even with a 'nearly perfect victory', Lin Lin always spent a lot of money after all.Said in a playful Wan accent: "Equivalent to burning a house on Zhongxiao East Road every hour, do you build (know)?"

After counting the losses, let's count the gains.

Nangong Ying and Yan Fubei took people to the ruins of Yujing to pick up waste.

Without making a sound, he made a fortune.

The main reason is that these two heavenly kings have meticulously implemented Zhou Ning's "not greedy for big things, but only for efficiency" scavenging guidelines.

Although there are quite a few monks who can pull down the skin and pick up waste in the ruins of Yujing.

But there are very few people who really hold the mentality of picking up waste with the old as the truth.

Most of them are playing tricks and going there with the intention of picking up leaks.

Moreover, there are indeed some half-buried "good goods" and others who are "lucky" in the ruins of Yujing.

But if you want to start, there are various difficulties.

Otherwise, the group cultivators would have been taken away as early as when they entered the arena.

It can only be said that the joys and sorrows of people are not connected, and the pursuit is the same.

What Zhou Ning is after is the rag king.

This has something to do with the technology he has mastered.

It also has something to do with his past life experiences.

In his previous life, he grew up in a relatively isolated inland city.

Two things moved him a lot.

One is the food processing factory where my mother worked. After it went bankrupt, it was contracted by a foreigner to make bagged shaved ice. After earning good money for two years, the factory, which seemed to be still in business at the time, was sold at a high price and left with a lot of money. The food factory closed down again two years later.

The other is that on the train, he overheard a conversation between two foreigners who had left the city and returned to their hometown. One of them collected rags and the other repaired shoes. Their income far exceeded his imagination.

The former made him see the power of a fresh move in technology and thinking.And 'don't earn your last penny' escape wisdom.

The latter made him realize that some people want to save face, but they may not get much face in the end;

In this life, when he found that he had the opportunity to play gongs and drums again, he made some adjustments in the specific rules of conduct.

Of course, it was really done, not just because of the opportunity to start over.

Also because of self-confidence.

The less confident you are, the more you care about other people's opinions and superficial dignity.

The more things you accomplish and the more you own, the more confident you become.

Focusing on scavenging, Nangong Ying and Yan Fubei obtained a considerable amount of extraordinary resources.

Rare extraordinary power, and even rarer extraordinary elements.

The latter can only be absorbed through the special equipment provided by the system.

Even Zhou Ning was not aware of it.

It's not that the system refuses to tell, but that there are some transcendent concepts that cannot be clearly expressed in words, but can only be perceived.And Zhou Ning's current soul level is not enough to perceive its characteristics.

The origin of the name 'Elements' was created according to Zhou Ning's habits and preferences. The superhumans in this world call it 'Tao Ji'.

In fact, in addition to being in Yujing City, Zhou Ning also collected extraordinary elements from ghosts and creatures when he controlled the spiritual character to level up.

He can't use this kind of advanced material yet.

But the system can.And more thirsty.Because the purchase price offered is very high.

So without much hesitation, he sold a large number of extraordinary elements to the system.

As far as he is concerned, this is a 'raiser'.

The system is the most amazing magic weapon in his hands, more powerful than any natal magic weapon.

As long as the system wants it, he will find ways to satisfy it.

I don't know if it's because enough extraordinary elements have been provided to the system this time.

Anyway, the cycle of digesting the "Hei Tian Jing" seems to have been significantly shortened.

Afterwards, a series of sales list update feedbacks made him elated.

Among them, what made him the happiest was the option to produce artificial blood.

Before that, the blood gang had always been a non-renewable resource for him.

Although during the night of the Blood Moon in Jing Prison and the period after that, he did collect a lot of blood gangs.But he can only get in and out, and there are many directions of application. Seeing the continuous decline of fuel stocks, he is naturally anxious.

He is afraid that the system built on the foundation of abundant energy will eventually collapse due to incapacity.

He even thought about the next step, should he go to the Nine Heavens to collect the Gang?

The nine places gather evil spirits, and the nine heavens gather gangsters.Completely solve the problem of annihilation fuel.

But from a certain point of view, the system obviously knows how to plan better than him, and has been playing a big game of selfishness.

Earlier, he was able to support him with the 'Blood Crystal Stone' which was comparable to the Holy Stone of Shadow Dao, and let him play the trick of Xiuwu County King before he left Xinzhou, which made him realize that the system itself is not good enough in terms of the blood path of the Demon Sect. The technical level is quite impressive.

Needless to say, the Youdao, the Shadow Dao is also gone, and what is added in the "Hei Tian Jing" is the most lacking, the secret path that can be called the basic science of the dark department.

As for the Death Dao, he collected some when he was hostile to the Death Dao in the past. This time, he used the bone tree to peek at the Bone Dao derived from the Death Dao. Using the system's inferences and the ability to trace the source, he finally mastered more than 50% of the technology. Incredible.

Then there is evil.

The native Zhou Ning has a lot to do with the evil ways of the Demon Sect.

When he left Xinzhou, the entanglement between Zhou Ning and Li Jiazhen was barely blurred.Sooner or later there will be a 'Revisiting Lijia Town'.

At that time, it will not be as simple as confirming whether the crocodile is safe when it lands.

It never occurred to him that before the Six Paths of the Demon Sect had gathered together, such a fruit would already be produced.

It can only be said that the system is awesome, the system is mighty, it is cool to open and hang for a while, and it is always cool to open and hang all the time.

If someone asks Zhou Ning, besides energy, what are you most concerned about?

Zhou Ning will answer in the affirmative: materials.

No, after the system gave the great gift of artificial blood, there has also been progress in terms of materials.

High energy gathering materials, simply understood, are the extraordinary version of strong mutual materials.

As long as energy interference continues, the strong interaction at the atomic level can be maintained forever.

What does this mean?

Fly up nine days, go down to nine places, whether it is a spaceship or a speeding car, the project can be launched.

Zhou Ningxin said: "This road has gradually been out of the aura of the sky by cheating..."

As soon as he turned his face away, he began to practice and gain true knowledge.

Isn't there an experimental field right here?
Putting this high-energy-gathering material on top can properly reduce the level of the barrier composite energy shell?

In this way, the Shadow Army quickly moved again, and a new round of construction began.

Some monks were amazed at this, saying that it was the first time they had seen a monk who loved construction so much after living for so long.

Of course, they didn't see the details, they just felt that Zhou Ning's actions were a bit extraordinary.The curiosity of this inducement is far from sufficient to support sustained attention.

The focus of the cultivators' attention was still on this demon removal operation.

As far as Ancient Hang Xianshan is concerned, there is no competition mode or anything to play the monks of various Taoism as athletes.

But those who performed well and achieved outstanding results did receive a new round of rewards from Guhang Xianshan.

As the news spread, the enthusiasm of various groups or individuals increased greatly.

Against this background, more news of victory continued to come in, and the power of the superhumans spread rapidly. With the ruins of Yujing at the core, half of the Yu Kingdom was shrouded.

But when Zhou Ning returned home, he still paid more attention to intelligence.

There are special Burning Shadow scouts, who control the magic weapon that strengthens the ability of Shadow Escape, and pay attention to the current situation.

After learning about the current situation, he feels that he is not used to the plots of the demons, and the situation has developed to the present, and it is almost time to see him.

"Speed ​​up the construction progress!"

After giving this order, he smashed down four power towers without hesitation.

It's just that this time it's not the bridgehead that's being guarded, but the bone tree.

This end, that end.

Although the bone tree looks awesome, it's just a look.

Zhou Ning is still more willing to believe in his own way than relying on other people's magic tools.

After the power towers are arranged, the fulcrum magic weapon and the energy generator are immediately arranged.

The energy defense system constructed with the energy cover and the energy force field as the main categories appeared on the periphery of the bone tree. According to the coverage boundary of the bone tree, one area was forcibly built into an ecological dome-like place.

Bailiqiong, an immortal from the ancient Hangshan Mountain who was meditating on the futon in the clouds, swept the whisk in his hand twice, and raised his eyelids to take a look at the huge light shield that looked like a super-large deep-mouthed pot on the ground.

He murmured in his heart: "This little guy, what is he afraid of?"

Zhou Ning didn't know what to be afraid of, he just wanted to be prepared.

And in order to experiment with new materials, he also had to rub them manually.

While he was busy, Yan Fubei came to report that the secret road in Yujing City had been found.

In a huge capital city with a permanent population of over 300 million, it is natural that there should not be too many secret passages.

However, what Zhou Ning asked Yan Fubei to pay attention to was the royal secret road.

Generally speaking, the royal family is nothing more than ordinary people with higher authority, and in some respects, they are not as secretive as those with a long history.

For example, the construction of facilities such as mausoleums and secret passages.

After all, the tree attracts the wind, and many people stare at it openly and secretly.

What's more, ordinary people are a lot worse than extraordinary people.

Those "altars and jars" of mortals are rarely seen by extraordinary people.

But the system issued a task.Even if it is a branch line, Zhou Ning is more than willing to complete it.

In fact, he already regretted the series of self-righteous operations that cut off the epic task prompted by the system.

He even believed that it was because of his nonsense that indirectly led to the destruction of Yu Guoguo.Otherwise, Daqian is probably the first choice of the Heavenly Demon to make trouble.

And he followed the line of Xiuwu County King, went out for the king, and then participated in a series of major incidents in Poland, fighting against evil ways, fighting against death, and fighting against demons...

In the end, he did it by himself, with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west. He seemed to be winning all the time, but he didn't get much benefit. He was exposed early, was targeted by Qimen, and had to go south to avoid danger. This was actually a failure.

In short, I didn't have a plan, but I didn't want to trust the system. I slapped my head and made decisions based on instinct. God knows, I missed hundreds of millions.

And as time went by, he felt more and more the benefits of believing in the system, and he no longer cared about the so-called freedom and rights of "I decide my fate".

Sometimes Zhou Ning also wonders sensitively whether he is on the road of self-diversion and self-domestication.

But gradually, he stopped worrying about this problem.

Without him, Goldfinger had already given him too much.

The more you experience in this world, the more you can understand the sadness of human life.

Without Goldfinger, his second life would probably be full of tragedies.

He was so miserable that as a time traveler, he couldn't accept it at all, and eventually committed suicide or collapsed or blackened.

Conversely, for what Goldfinger gave him, he should do his best to give back.

This is like a certain funder giving 1000 million to disabled people who live by begging.

Even if this person has fully realized his potential and has contributed more to mankind than Einstein, he still has to accept the love of the benefactor, as long as he still has a little bit of conscience.

What's more, for an ordinary person like him, 1000 million is about the total amount of money he can earn if he devotes his entire life to struggle and is relatively successful.

So, Goldfinger didn't owe him anything long ago, and he owed Goldfinger.Every day for the rest of my life is equivalent to lying on the thick gift and enjoying it.

So, is it wrong for him to lick the system?

The system has no self-awareness, so can he take everything for granted?
cannot.His principles of life do not allow him to be ungrateful to that extent.

"Go, lead the way, let's explore this secret passage."

"Master, why don't you let me do it for you?" Zhong Fabai suggested from the side.

Zhou Ning waved his hand without explaining the reason, and said authoritarianly: "I'm not here, and you will continue to host the camp."

The Fifth Heavenly King could only take orders and retreat to the side.

So under the leadership of Yan Fubei, Zhou Ning went to the royal secret road.

Zhou Ning didn't bother to pay attention to the ruins of Yujing along the way.

He doesn't have the mentality of visiting places of interest now. Instead, he sees things and thinks about people. The scene that will be destroyed involuntarily recalls the fact that hundreds of millions of mortals in Yu State are almost extinct, and that ten years later, when the demon invades, they will still die. awareness of more people.

This kind of news, just hearing it subconsciously, can't help but tremble in the soul, how dare you read it?
He is really afraid that he will lose control because of his emotions, and play the game of breaking the limit and fighting to the death.

He told himself that now he can't disconnect rationally, the dead are gone, if he really has a heart, he should protect the living as close as possible, revenge can be postponed...

'Plop! 'Water splashed.

This royal secret road is quite mysterious, like exploring a karst cave, you have to swim for a while.

When it comes to this kind of claustrophobic environment, Zhou Ning's mind can easily see two related movies that impressed him the most.

One is 'The Devil's Lair' in 2005, and the other is 'The Abyss' in 2011.

At this moment, he felt that elements of the 'Tomb Raider' series should be incorporated on the basis of the scene and atmosphere shown in these two films.

It is the taste of this all-in-one skewer, which is very good.

Zhou Ning noticed the purely artificial underground palace system, and did not forget to observe the passages and waterways filled with stalactites in the cave.

It has to be said that due to the existence of extraordinary powers with high ranks, this kind of underground palace exploration has lost a lot of fun.

If the detection ability is strong enough, the maze is not enough.

With methods such as earth escape and magic weapon protection, the so-called organ trap has become Lehe.

No matter how beautiful the tricks are, it is still a mortal's skill after all, and it is really not enough to face the extraordinary.

If it wasn't for the tasks given by the system, Zhou Ning would go straight to the end of the level and wouldn't grind on the road at all.

The grand hall in the deepest part of the secret passage is Guandi.

Zhou Ning believes that digging such a facility in the depths of the ground cannot be described as a great success, it is simply insane.

Absolutely tricky.

However, it turns out that there is nothing worth mentioning here except for the grandeur of the Taihe Palace, where the emperor received his officials.

Well, he has to admit that the high exploration speed of the system is probably Ying Chuochuo reminding him that there is something wrong with his way of thinking, if he follows his way of thinking, he can only find loneliness here.

So, go ahead.

Believe that the system will not cheat him.

Not long after, the dragon veins were found...
