115. Wind and rain
It's just that an ordinary lamp is filled with a moth, but it doesn't need to use difficult materials, some ordinary raw materials plus the [Moth] attribute core and Xu Zhi's [Moth] can be successfully made.
Xu Zhi made dozens of lamps in one go, and then called Zhong Lingfan and asked Zhong Lingfan to take her to personally arrange these [moth] lamps in the most critical position in the center of the residential area and in the places where you enter and exit.
Zhong Lingfan was obviously very curious about the origin of this lamp, and Xu Zhi also said bluntly: "It's my extraordinary ability, and the effect is probably similar to that of vigilance, but I can't get too much, so you can put it in the most important position." ”
Zhong Lingfan couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood in her words, but she couldn't question Xu Zhi.
After arranging, Xu Zhi also added: "If you encounter a problem that you think is very urgent, you can't deal with it, and I'm not here, you can break a lamp." ”
She will sense it immediately and send the fastest clan back, and the ability to immediately activate [Moth] to cause chaos in that area should be useful in case of emergency.
When arranging the moth lantern, Xu Zhi and Zhong Lingfan met a lot of people along the way, and they would say hello when they saw Zhong Lingfan, but their eyes couldn't help but fall on Xu Zhi, most of them could guess Xu Zhi's identity, and a few of them would have more respect for Xu Zhi because they were people who followed Zhong Lingfan.
"Are there so many people now?" Xu Zhi was a little surprised.
In fact, she didn't have much idea about the changes in the residential area, but now as Zhong Lingfan walked around, she found that it was indeed different from the past.
In addition to the fact that the sky is still blurry and foggy during the day, the residential area now has a bit of a peaceful appearance.
Of course, this is also limited to residential areas.
"Is there ever someone here who can't even pay the rent?" Xu Zhi asked.
"Yes." Zhong Lingfan nodded.
When there are too many people, it is inevitable that there will be some waste in it.
"So how did you solve it? Driven away? ”
Xu Zhi felt that Zhong Lingfan should not drive people away directly.
Sure enough, Zhong Lingfan shook his head: "Naturally, let him sign a contract and use his own labor and extraordinary ability to pay off his debts." ”
Zhong Lingfan's words are simple, but this contract is obviously not comparable to the kind of contract in peacetime.
If you think about it carefully, you will realize that if you sign such a contract to completely deliver yourself, it is better to grit your teeth and try to hunt mutant animals to obtain core rent.
"Is there really anyone who signed it?"
But as long as the thinking ability is normal, it shouldn't be, this sign, but I can't help myself.
Zhong Lingfan smiled: "It's quite a lot." ”
"What if they break the contract and run away? Didn't you let them live in vain? Xu Zhi asked again.
Today's Cloud City has no legal constraints, and no one dares to violate the regulations in the residential area, but they have fled, and in such an environment, the residential area has no way to spend manpower to arrest an unimportant "criminal".
"People who have extraordinary abilities that can be located, and besides, it's not necessarily a good thing to leave the residential area, they choose to sign a contract because they don't want to go out and face danger."
Saying that, Zhong Lingfan said meaningfully: "As long as you catch one escapee and show others his fate, the rest will naturally not dare to run away at will." ”
"I'm still a kid, I can't listen to this." Xu Zhi shook his head again and again and said that he was a minor, but he couldn't listen to some bloody and violent things.
Zhong Lingfan was a little speechless: "What kind of child are you?" ”
"Don't worry about it, I'm a minor on my federal ID."
Although there is still a month to reach adulthood.
"Okay." Zhong Lingfan changed the topic, she knew that Xu Zhi didn't care about the topic just now, how the residents were managed in the residential area, and what punishments there were, she didn't care too much, she just needed to ensure that the residents would continue to provide her with cores.
If you're interested, you won't listen.
Since she had just been upgraded, Xu Zhi specially asked Zhong Lingfan if there were any transcendents who had broken through level 5 in the residential area during the time she left for the Second Ring Road.
But the answer is: no.
"How can it be so easy to upgrade from level four to level five?"
"It is estimated that by the Chinese New Year this year, it is unlikely that anyone will break through level five."
And now it's not even summer.
"It's so hard?" Xu Zhi was a little surprised.
She actually didn't have a very accurate concept of the promotion speed of ordinary transcendentals, and now she didn't deliberately hide the surprise in her words, anyway, Zhong Lingfan knew that she was different from ordinary transcendentals, as long as she didn't know the most critical place, everything else didn't matter to Xu Zhi.
Sure enough, Zhong Lingfan didn't make a fuss about this, but just explained with a smile: "Do you think the promotion of the transcendent is simple? ”
"It is very easy to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, but it takes a month to go from level 2 to level 3 at the earliest, and it takes about half a year to level 3 to level 4, and it will take several months if it is fast."
Now that Cloud City has been locked down for more than half a year, level four is already considered to be a fast rise in talent.
"Level 4 to level 5, not about a year, how easy is it?"
"If it's fast, it will take seven or eight months."
It's so hard
It still takes so long inside Cloud City, isn't it even more difficult outside Cloud City?
And before, the Federation almost had an archbishop, if it wasn't for Xu Zhi to stir up the situation, then the archbishop would be a dimensionality reduction blow to the transcendents of the Federation.
Now, she had accidentally given the Federation some respite.
However, in this way, the number of fanatics in the Federation is probably unusually large, and it is even estimated that some fanatics have already touched the upper echelons of the federal political system, or that the upper echelons have become believers but no one knows about them.
No matter how you look at it, the current federation is in a precarious position, and now it can rely on modern technology to temporarily suppress believers, once they make something big, such as the next archbishop, it will not be a trouble that technology can solve.
On the contrary, Cloud City has the existence of residential areas and tends to be stable, of course, the premise is to ignore the heterogeneity in the city center.
Xu Zhi pondered that if he had something to gain in the middle of the night tonight, he would probably have to leave the residential area again and go to the city center soon.
She was completely unsure about the city center, and naturally she didn't want to tell Zhong Lingfan, but before parting, she told the other party that she might leave for a while again in the near future.
Zhong Lingfan was quite accustomed to Xu Zhi running around and not being at home, so she just nodded indifferently and said that she would manage the residential area well.
After arranging the moth lantern and saying goodbye to Zhong Lingfan, Xu Zhi returned home, and after letting Yu Shenwei return to the room and not go out, he quietly waited for midnight to come.
When night comes, the hands of the clock jump over a certain dividing line, and an invisible mysterious abode descends on this world, Xu Zhi lights a gray lantern, pushes open the door, and walks into the middle of the night.
