The short-haired man's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes again as he looked at where the flying sword had disappeared.

Strictly speaking, for short-haired people, the flying sword didn't actually disappear safely, it only disappeared halfway.

Flying people control flying swords, there are two channels of information, one is to control the command with the eyes, and the other is the divine sense.

The short-haired man had seen the power of the Soul Eater Array before, and he knew that if the flying sword fell into the Soul Eater Array, the first feeling for the flying people seemed to be that the flying sword had "disappeared". That sense of disappearance seems to be a little more real to the flying man, because compared to the eyes, the divine sense not only has an incomparable superiority in range, but also has an incomparable advantage in the accuracy of control.

For many masters, if they have refined their cultivation to a certain extent, they often no longer need to rely on their vision to guide and control, and they can solve every battle by relying on their divine sense. For the supreme masters, using the divine sense is like using chopsticks to pick up vegetables, which is naturally several times more flexible and lighter than using a spoon.

And at this moment, the abnormality that happened in front of him seemed to be the opposite compared to the Soul Devouring Array.

The short-haired guest could still clearly feel that the flying sword that had just flown out and was not counting down was motionless at the moment, hovering in front of his eyes.

The short-haired man's consciousness tried to control slightly, and he could feel the sword's response. Although he couldn't see the appearance of the sword at all, with the cultivator's controlling intuition for a long time, he knew that the flying sword at this moment was definitely in front of him. The only thing that is puzzling is that his eyes can't see.

The only thing that can be seen in the field of vision in front of you is a void.

The location where the flying sword should have appeared was nothing, and through the air, the short-haired man could clearly see that a few miles away, the opposite wall, huge, deep, and cold......

The short-haired man felt like a worm standing in the mouth of a steel behemoth, and for the first time in his life, he felt his fear of space itself.

At this time, the short-haired customer had already begun to notice something unusual, but he couldn't describe it specifically - in short, such a large space, surrounded by metal buildings so neatly, everyone knew that there must be something strange.

He slowly controlled the flying sword, letting it slowly fly towards him. Because he couldn't see it, for the first time, he lost confidence in his divine sense control, and the speed at which he controlled the flying sword was very slow, almost moving little by little - his flying sword seemed to be completely invisible at this time, and he didn't want to miss and be killed by the flying sword he controlled.

Although he had tried this before, this time, he wanted to live and see what the answer was to the question that had plagued him for more than 1,400 years.

The flying sword gradually appeared only a few feet away from him.

"Stop." The search and rescue team shouted.

In fact, there is no need for the search and rescue team to command, the short-haired guest himself has already made such a decision.

Because the speed of the flying sword control is very slow, it is perfectly stopped in mid-air. From the perspective of the short-haired man, this flying sword seems to be a sharp blade drilled out of the water, and only a small half of it is exposed to the water, while the longer part of the sword body behind it seems to be completely melted by the air, and it is impossible to see it at all.

The short-haired man tried to make the flying sword move back and forth slightly, and the blade of the sword was more or less revealed with this movement. He controlled the flying sword to spin in the distance, and in this rotation, the short-haired man was surprised to see a layer of material similar to the surface of the water.

This sense of "water surface" is completely unfamiliar to the previous short-haired passengers, and it was only in the space station that after getting acquainted with Wu Xiaoqing and them, they saw some similar pictures in Wu Xiaoqing's computer.

For earthlings, the form of water is easy to understand, because of gravity, water will converge in low-lying places to form rivers, lakes and seas.

When there is no wind, the surface of the water calms down and a mirror-like plane is formed. At this time, if something slowly comes in from the water, or enters the water, if the water is not very clear, it seems to the person next to you that part of the thing will disappear for a while, and then reappear.

In the Ascension Realm, such a scenery is rarely seen. Although there is a lot of water here, it is basically in the form of discrete granules. In a gravity-free world, it is difficult to store water without specialized storage devices. This point can be understood from the fact that Wu Xiaoqing couldn't find water to drink all over the world.

The "water" surface in front of you is very similar to the water in the impression of the short-haired person, when the sword slowly enters and exits, there is almost no clue, but when the sword begins to rotate and make violent movements in the air, you can clearly see the fluctuations in the air - ripples similar to water.

Waves, for a world devoid of liquids, are a very rare phenomenon. But because of the rarity, short-haired customers immediately noticed this anomaly.

Just as he was trying to make the flying sword spin faster and make the entire wave display more thorough, the entire flying sword suddenly fell uncontrollably towards the inside of the "water surface". The short-haired man hurriedly used his divine sense to control him, trying to make him fly back, but to no avail.

The flying sword seemed to be attracted by a powerful attraction from within the space, and after only a few moments, the short-haired man gave up the attempt completely - he was completely unaware of the flying sword's existence.

"Wait for us where you are," the search and rescue team said, "and seal off this island, and no one can come up except us." ”

……

When the search and rescue team's message came, Wu Xiaoqing was reading a book.

Rao Xin's book.

The materials that Rao Xin brought back from Europe, Wu Xiaoqing has already read it for the third time, and he has successfully become the kind of person he despises the most, the kind of nerd who can read stupidly for a few days and forget to eat and sleep.

If knowledge is compared to water, the earliest textbook to read, for Wu Xiaoqing, should be regarded as an extremely thirsty person who encountered a few bottles of mineral water...... At that time, water was quite precious and wonderful to him, and almost every sip he drank could move him.

But soon, Wu Xiaoqing discovered that there was too much water in this world.

Wu Xiaoqing just went to Ningzhou University Town casually and found a university library, and after walking in, he found that things that were once extremely precious to him were all over the world here.

Here, after everyone gets the water, they don't drink it in their mouths - such a huge amount of knowledge is sorted into categories, and a single category is enough for an ordinary person to spend a lifetime pondering.

If they all drank like Wu Xiaoqing, I am afraid they would have died a long time ago.

It's like an ordinary person entering a huge treasure trove, full of gold and precious stones, and all sorts of great curiosities. No matter how strong this man is, he is not greedy enough to try to carry all the treasure on his back—and before he can carry it completely, the weight of a very small part of the treasure is enough to crush a man completely.

A smart person naturally knows how to make trade-offs.

Students in college, in fact, are even people who make this kind of trade-off - from the beginning of their choice of major, it means that they have made plans to enter this treasure trove and only take this one category of treasures.

Those who choose gold specialize in gold, and those who choose diamonds specialize in diamonds...... Of course, even if it is specialized in this one category, the number is enough to drown everyone, so in the face of this huge amount of knowledge, if they really plan to take a rare treasure from it and bring it back, the best way is to jump into this pond of knowledge - no, the ocean of knowledge, and swim completely.

Wu Xiaoqing swam in this ocean of knowledge for three whole days.

After reading the book for three days, and then looking back at Rao Xin's book and the materials he brought back from Europe, Wu Xiaoqing was able to roughly understand the meaning of most of the content without the help of the search and rescue team.

It is only a rough outline, because many of the words in the material are spoken by Europeans, and they naturally speak in the unique context of their own country and culture, and it is almost impossible to accurately understand this context by relying on a temporary charge in just a few days.

There are many things that people tend to disagree with before they know about them, and treat them as embellishments that have nothing to do with their lives.

Wu Xiaoqing naturally understands this feeling, because for Wu Xiaoqing in the past, the whole world was vague and unfamiliar. It's like looking through a frosted glass to see something, no matter what you see, there is always only a general trace.

When starting a company, Wu Xiaoqing only knew that he had to make money as a boss, and the money he earned would pay wages to his employees. But, that's it. How does the money come about, what responsibilities does each employee have, what does the general manager do, what does the director do, what work are the employees responsible for, what position corresponds to what skills, and what skills correspond to how much money...... How much money should be used to find the corresponding person, and what is the significance of the company's system......

These don't need Wu Xiaoqing to think about it, and he doesn't have the ability to think about it.

On a mission, he only knew that he had to save people, and it was not good not to save him when he died. But how to save it, the feasibility and economic cost behind each plan, how to cooperate with the earth, and the feasibility behind every action......

Wu Xiaoqing couldn't understand it in the past, on the one hand, because his knowledge accumulation was very poor, nominally he graduated from junior high school, but in fact he was at the level of a primary school graduate. On the other hand, naturally because he is lazy. This laziness is the result of his self-abandonment due to his long-term lack of effective family control.

If there is no search and rescue team, if there is no mission, if there is no operation...... It is conceivable that Wu Xiaoqing may get ahead on the earth, with the current scale of Qinglan Consulting, and the needs of future tasks, don't say how to get ahead, even if it is further up, there is a bolder goal, it is not completely impossible to achieve.

But one's achievements are one thing, and how one perceives those achievements is another.

If Wu Xiaoqing is just the same Wu Xiaoqing in the past, then even if he becomes the richest man in the world, the world is still strange to him.

The cognitive limitations caused by low culture will keep him going around in a small circle all his life. Maybe his days on earth were driving luxury cars, living in villas, finding one, or a group of beautiful girlfriends...... It's just like that.

The search and rescue team needs him, and he may be working for a few more years – but not for long, because a person can change just too quickly, especially after having money. If you don't need him, that's for the best. According to the search and rescue team's need for secrecy, they will definitely make a covert cut with Wu Xiaoqing - since then, Wu Xiaoqing is an ordinary rich man.

Wu Xiaoqing now recalls that he feels that this operation is simply unknowingly, forcing his eyes to walk across a single-plank bridge on a cliff.

Looking back, look at the situation where you have come all the way - if there is a little problem in any link, the current self may be under the river in Dayang Village, slowly rotting.

Now, the whole world is beginning to become clear to Wu Xiaoqing.

Wu Xiaoqing began to recall the words that the search and rescue team had said when they contacted him and Shen Changwen......

He felt that perhaps, it was because he was stupid enough that he was selected by the search and rescue team.

Because, Wu Xiaoqing, who has become smart now, has begun to realize that in the face of a smart person, even if this person is himself, no one will feel easy.

However, the smart brain let Wu Xiaoqing know that although the proportion of people in the world who are stupider than him at that time is not high, the absolute number is also quite huge, and the search and rescue team only chose him, and there must be one or many reasons other than "stupid".

And these reasons, so far, Xu Yan doesn't know, Wang Youquan doesn't know, Shen Changwen doesn't know, the Russians don't know, and Wu Xiaoqing, who has become smarter, doesn't know.
