"It's been a long time. This is a must-have for grinding equipment in a real game map."
Luo Nan was no stranger to this interface. He had a similar experience when he collected the exoskeleton parts required for the Golden Tong Seed of Light. Back then, these indicator lights only appeared in Xia City, but now they covered the entire world.
Hey, you're not asking me to run all over the world and collect all of these rare materials, right? This is really a super large project … … Hold on!
A new system explanation popped up on the virtual brain interface. The general idea was, "According to current conditions, the theoretical completion rate of the advanced formula is 21%."
Actually, there were still hundredths and thousandths, but Luo Nan skipped over them. They didn't have much significance.
As for the meaning of this explanation, he needed to figure it out … … Could it be that even if he ran to every corner of the world, he would only be able to collect a fifth of the complete version of the advanced formula?
This really was an immortal formula. It was impossible to do in the human world!
Luo Nan couldn't help but grin. He didn't have any thoughts about the advanced formula, but this fact was really too absurd.
But he had to think a bit deeper. Since this culture medium formula belonged to an alien civilization, then it was completely reasonable for materials that didn't belong to Earth to appear. There was no harm in understanding that parasitic monster in the biochemical reactor.
Just as he broke into laughter and shook his head, another system message popped up. It was exactly the same as the previous one. "According to current conditions, the theoretical completion rate of the advanced formula is 21%." No, there was a change in the value!
Luo Nan still noticed the slight change in the thousandths. It jumped up a bit, showing that there were new discoveries about the advanced formula's components in the worldwide sensory network.
This wasn't much. Maybe some corner of the world would experience a change in the composition of a certain material due to environmental conditions. This change would be captured by the Soul Cloak. Besides, the Soul Cloak's global coverage was based on water molecules. It didn't cover certain areas with extreme environments that tightly. This was especially true in the thick crust of the earth. There were blind spots everywhere. He wasn't an omnipotent god.
It was normal for there to be some fluctuations.
Luo Nan was looking for a reason when the system message popped up again. It was still the same theoretical completion rate. It jumped up a bit in the thousandths. Then the system message maintained a frequency of one every three seconds. It was updated over and over again until the seventh message was sent out.
"......"
Luo Nan was unable to view this as a fluctuation of probability no matter what. It was an increase of around seven thousandths and a steady rise in rhythm.
More importantly, due to the continuous changes, the "indicator light" formed by the interference of the external neuron and the Soul Cloak kept flashing. It had already mapped the specific location to the sensor network. If one were to simply calculate the physical distance, it would be unbelievably close.
A straight line distance of 273 meters.
Let alone the Soul Cloak, the target was within the core range of Luo Nan's mental senses.
As Luo Nan focused his consciousness, a fellow who was being controlled by all sorts of restraining devices, whose entire body was pierced with tubes, and who continued to struggle and roar endlessly appeared before Luo Nan's eyes.
Huang Bingzhen! How could it be him?
Luo Nan's eyelids twitched twice. He instinctively felt that this target seemed to be indicating something to him. But before he could figure it out, his ears trembled. He had received a message from the Spiritual Wave Network.
It was a friend request.
Ever since the lecture started in the middle of the month, there had been countless similar requests, even on the relatively closed Psychic Wave Network. Luo Nan was unable to bear the disturbance. Under He Yueyin's suggestion, he set up a 'Ignore Unrecommended' setting. Only the friends he had previously added would have relevant information displayed for him to choose from.
This method seemed quite arrogant and quite ungrounded, but with his current popularity and status in Jianghu, basically no one would say anything.
And then there was his circle of ability users. His judgment and sense of responsibility weren't lacking. This setting really saved him quite a bit of trouble. Correspondingly, he needed to treat the request information that could pass through his circle of friends properly.
"Who recommended me …? Damn!"
Luo Nan suddenly sat up straight. The two words' Wu Zhao 'appeared in the recommender column on the information window.
Her Majesty Empress Wu was indeed his friend on the Psychic Wave Network. It was President Ouyang who had taken the initiative to recommend her to him. However, the two had never chatted on the Psychic Wave Network before. Wu Zhao really didn't seem like someone who liked to talk nonsense.
This time, she actually took the initiative to recommend him … Peony?
The other name on the information window made Luo Nan come to a realization. He didn't hesitate and directly chose to accept the request. Soon a call was established. The other party used a casual and lively voice to greet him.
"Hello, Crow."
The familiar yet unfamiliar form of address made Luo Nan feel quite subtle. At this time, he also remembered that this greeting had, in theory, completely broken the barrier between Luo Nan and the mission partner. Luo Nan had always felt that with Peony's intelligence, she should have figured out the twists and turns of this situation long ago ….
God knows why Her Majesty Empress Wu, who arranged this mission, would do something so superfluous!
Luo Nan's mind spun with emotions and thoughts. He took a breath and smiled as he answered, "Long time no see, Peony."
Ever since the incident at the municipal plaza, this partner with quite a personality had disappeared from Luo Nan's social circle. According to Zhang Yingying, she had accepted a new mission and was sent to the Wilderness. Luo Nan had a few other guesses because of this, but he didn't delve further.
Now that the two had reconnected, they both knew the reason for this. Peony seemed quite relaxed. She even had the leisure to exchange pleasantries with Luo Nan. "The New Year's Eve Gala wasn't bad, right? It's rare to have a venue at Cloud City Water Village, but I wasn't there."
"... I didn't pay too much attention." Luo Nan was an honest kid in the end. He killed the conversation in the blink of an eye.
Peony's laughter came from across the table. She didn't exchange pleasantries and just said, "The boss just informed me. I heard her say that you're suddenly interested in the completed business?"
"It's not interest. It's an encounter." Luo Nan was very honest about the nature of the matter. He asked in passing, "What about you? Her Majesty Empress Wu asked you to contact me. Are you paying attention? "
"Wearing black clothes, hugging a black pillar. Taking a salary, serving the master. I really have been conducting an in-depth investigation into this matter recently. I'm still on my way. "
"Where did you go?"
"Spring City, about two thousand kilometers away from Summer City."
"Spring City?"
"Yeah. Do you know anyone here?"
"Oh, no." Luo Nan just felt that it was quite a coincidence. The volcanic area where he had constructed the Bloodsoul Temple's material structure was in the surrounding area of Spring City.
"It's good that you don't. It's quite chaotic here right now. Big news can break out at any time. Also, it's not easy to pull out a special Psychic Wave Network line. "
Luo Nan immediately connected the dots to the core issue at hand. "Is it related to the aberrant infection? Is there one in Spring City? "
"Of course." Peony's answer was straightforward. It was too excessive.
Luo Nan was stunned for a moment before he understood how to respond. "There really is?"
"Mr. Partner, you must first understand a concept when it comes to aberrant infection. It has never been a new thing. Even though it is rarely seen in the various large cities, it is a common occurrence in the wilderness. It's not just the first, second, and third stages of infection. It includes repeated infections, secondary mutations, and even cases of reproductive isolation. "
"...." Luo Nan felt a bit of a toothache when he heard this.
"The surface area of the earth is five hundred and ten million square kilometers. The eighty-eight large metropolitan areas together cover less than a million square kilometers. What kind of confidence do you have to believe that the aberrant infection in the metropolis is just a random phenomenon when you live in such an environment? "
Luo Nan experienced Peony's powerful and astute words, but he didn't have any plans to compete. He wanted to use this opportunity to polish and correct his train of thought. He followed his previous thoughts and said, "It is reasonable to say that metropolitan areas have strict inspection, quarantine, and isolation measures …."
"After what happened in the municipal plaza, Mr. Partner still has confidence in the government's ability to control things?"
"Cough. I just …."
"Mr. Partner, you just don't understand why the aberrant infection population would explode in such a short period of time. In other words, your line of thought is still limited to the level of an 'unexpected incident'. You haven't considered the cause and effect of the incident or the span of time. "
Luo Nan was silent for a moment. He was certain that he understood Peony's extremely explicit "hint".
Peony asked him, "Is there anything you need to explain further? I'll continue speaking. "
Luo Nan was just about to speak when he heard a knock on the door. Then He Yueyin's voice came through. "Mr. Luo, do you have time?"
"Ah, wait a moment." Luo Nan subconsciously replied.
"Is it inconvenient over there?" Peony asked him.
"No. I'm busy with this matter." Luo Nan still wanted to listen to the information Peony sent back, but He Yueyin's opinion and analysis were extremely important. "Oh, Peony. You don't mind having a few more people listen, right?"
"The boss told me to tell you. It doesn't matter who you want to listen to."
"That's good." Luo Nan stood up and raised his voice. "Please come in."
He Yueyin pushed the door open and entered. She bowed slightly like a professional secretary. Behind her, Zhang Yingying imitated her actions in a very mischievous manner. The degree of her bow was extremely exaggerated.
He Yueyin acted as if she didn't notice the mischievous behavior of a certain person behind her. She spoke softly, "Mr. Luo, the results of Yingying's video surveillance and the extracted secretion analysis are already out. There are areas that are worth discussing regarding the Rainbow Foundation and the LCRF Foundation, as well as the reactions of the relevant members of the government and the Parliament. Should we hold a small meeting to discuss this? "
At this moment, Luo Nan really had the misconception that he was a big boss. Fortunately, he knew that this was a misconception. He nodded. "Sister Yueyin, you've come at the right time. Her Majesty Empress Wu has arranged a new information channel for us. Miss Peony, who is currently in Spring City, is introducing us. Let's all listen together."
"Her Majesty Empress Wu?"
"Peony!"
