Chapter 173: Cynthiam
The Tasman Sea, located west of New Zealand and east of Australia, is a marginal sea in the southwest Pacific Ocean.
With a maximum depth of 5,943 meters and an average depth of 2,705 meters, it is the fifth highest average ocean depth in the world.
Due to its geographical location, the Tasman Sea is famous for its storms due to the fact that different ocean currents flow into it, which makes the climate and water temperature difference between the north and the south great, resulting in more changes in air currents and complex meteorological conditions.
Today's Tasman Sea was still sunny in the morning, but at noon there were suddenly strong winds and thunderstorms, and a wave of force 7 blew on the sea.
Level 7 waves, level 8 waves, and level 9 rag waves, corresponding to level 5 surges, with an astonishing wave height of 6.1 meters ~ more than 10 meters.
The wind roared, the waves covered the earth, and the heavens and the earth changed color.
It is only in such an environment that human beings can feel the terrifying power of nature.
However, at this time, there is a person who is drifting between the waves.
Even occasionally, he stepped on the waves, stepping on the terrifying wave height of six or seven meters, or even seven or eight meters high, rising and falling, like a petrel breaking through the wind and waves.
This person is naturally none other than Jiang Sheng.
Of course, he didn't run into the sea to compete with nature, but came to practice "Pure Yang Golden Bell Jar".
During this time, he has been running around, and in his spare time, he is also busy practicing hypnosis, inner pill technique, and eating Qi Jin Kui Miaolu, delaying the pure yang golden bell jar.
Now it's time to cultivate well and upgrade the Pure Yang Golden Bell Jar as soon as possible.
Mountains of waves lapped down.
Not only did he not dodge, but he even let the waves crash against him.
Boom β
In an instant, he was swept into the sea by the terrifying waves.
Even with his current astonishing physical strength, such a terrifying force slapped on his body, causing a certain amount of damage.
Jiang Sheng in the sea only felt a feeling of suffocation in his chest, as if he had been beaten on his body with a sledgehammer.
But fortunately, his physique has now reached an astonishing 20 points, and his recovery power is super strong, and the feeling of suffocation in his heart lasted for less than ten seconds, and he returned to normal.
At the same time, his Pure Yang Golden Bell Jar experience increased by 5 points, from 2489/5000 to 2494/5000.
Then he followed the swell, followed by a fierce pedal, and the man had already pulled up from the water, trampled on the waves, and crashed into the next wave.
Boom β
And so on and so forth.
The true qi in the body is also consuming at a terrifying rate.
As he entered the innate realm of Nian Nian Immortal, the meridian qi in his body began to transform in the direction of true qi, becoming more refined and pure.
Today, it's almost 13% converted.
The transformation of True Qi was an extremely long time, and he estimated that it would be three or five years at the latest, or as fast as one or two years, and he would be able to convert all the Inner Qi into True Qi.
At that time, the power of his various exercises and skills will increase significantly.
For example, he can truly break away from gravity and soar freely between heaven and earth.
β¦β¦
In just two hours, the True Qi in his body was consumed to only about 5%, and then he dived to a depth of about 50 meters under the sea.
Although the waves on the sea surface are dangerous and the waves are monstrous, it becomes calm just a dozen meters below the sea surface.
And the reason why Jiang Sheng stayed at a depth of 50 meters was because the sea water at this depth contained the most abundant free energy of heaven and earth.
He quietly absorbed the free energy in the returning sea, as if he were recharging.
I don't know if it's because of the different ocean currents flowing into the Tasman Sea, or because of storms, but in short, the density of free energy in the sea here is very high, almost three times that of the inland sea.
Normally, it would take him at least 24 hours to fill the true qi in the dantian, but now in less than 8 hours, the true qi in the upper, middle and lower dantian has become full again, reaching 100%.
He resurfaced to the surface again, braving the wind and waves, and wrestling with nature!
From day to night, and from night to day.
β¦β¦
The wind and waves blew for a day and a night, and it did not stop until 10 o'clock the next morning.
A luxury Australian and New Zealand cruise ship is sailing at a speed of 20 knots on the surface of the Tasman Sea, heading towards Cyncy Rock.
At this time, the sun is shining, and the passengers on board are coming from the cabins to the upper deck, bathing in the warm sun and sea breeze.
A lot of people are taking pictures with their phones.
At that moment, a tourist suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted, "Look, there are people there." β
The other visitors on the deck immediately looked in the direction pointed by the discovered tourist, and they actually saw a man floating on the surface of the sea, and he was in the direction of the cruise ship.
"Ah......h
"Stop, I'm going to crash."
Tourists let out exclamations.
But before they could inform the captain of the ship, the ship had already come to the man's side, and was swallowed up by the waves from the bow.
Seeing this scene, all tourists couldn't help but feel sorry.
Once a person is swept under the cruise ship, he is basically dead, not to mention how long the other party has been floating on this boundless sea? It is estimated that he has died a long time ago.
Tourists were talking on the deck, but they didn't see a figure on the side of the cruise ship climbing up quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it had climbed to the side of the ship dozens of meters high.
There happened to be three or four tourists taking pictures here, and they were all stunned when they saw Jiang Sheng who suddenly climbed up from outside the side of the boat.
Outside is the vast sea, where did this man come from?
The person who came up was naturally Jiang Sheng, and without waiting for these tourists to call the cruise guards, he shouted: "Look at my eyes...... You didn't see anything, now turn around and go to the top deck. β
There was a trace of confusion in the eyes of the three or four tourists, and then, under Jiang Sheng's hypnosis, they turned around and walked towards the deck.
"Wait a minute, take off your shoes and give it to me...... Okay, let's go, your shoes have accidentally fallen into the ocean. β
Jiang Sheng took out a set of dry clothes from his backpack and changed into them, put on the tourist's AJ sneakers, and then threw the wet swimsuit directly into the sea.
Carrying his bag and walking towards the inside of the cruise ship.
"What floor is the restaurant on?" Jiang Sheng met the cruise ship staff and asked casually, and after waiting for an accurate answer, he went to the restaurant floor.
As a luxury cruise ship, the buffet restaurant and Western restaurant are free of charge, but there are also paid items, which can provide better service and more exquisite dishes and drinks.
Of course, Jiang Sheng chose the paid dishes, feasted on them, and at the same time opened the attribute panel and looked at it.
[Constitution: 20.04]
[Power: 20.05]
[Dexterity: 20.02]
[Spirit: 21.27]
[Exercise: Nei Dan Gong LV3 (448/2000) Immortal Food Qi Jin Kui Miao Lu LV1 (133/500)]
[Skill: Xinyi Liuhe Fist LV4 (3550/5000) Pure Yang Golden Bell Jar LV4 (3026/5000) Shenxing Taibao LV4 (4911/5000) Acupoint Technique LV3 (1085/2000) Hypnosis LV4 (Non-upgradeable) ......]
[Attribute point: 0.37]
With the upgrade of "Inner Dan Technique" to LV3, he also had a very thorough understanding of the Eight Vajra Gong, so he simply merged "Eight Vajra Gong" and "Nei Dan Gong", so it became "Nei Dan Gong".
Compared with the Inner Dan Technique, Nei Dan Gong has a little more effect of calming the mind and calming the qi, and there is basically no other change.
Then there was the Qi Eating Technique, which he practiced as long as he had time.
It's just that the cultivation of this food qi technique is very slow, and one cycle can only increase by 1 experience point at a time, plus he has just started cultivating, and he really can't resist the temptation of food, so naturally the progress is slow.
Although he fantasizes about being immortal, the essence of immortality is also to be able to see the beautiful scenery of this world and eat all the delicacies in this world.
If you practice the art of eating qi just to not eat, then there is no need.
Jiang Sheng then looked at LV4 "Hypnosis" and was excited.
Under his continuous practice, hypnotism was finally upgraded to LV4, and LV4's hypnotism was powerless to say.
Basically, people with slightly weaker mental power can hypnotize each other with a single look.
Even if a person with strong mental power, he can make the sound containing deterrence suddenly appear in the other party's ears through the method of transmitting sound into the secret, which can also shock the other party to dizziness, and then take the opportunity to launch hypnotism in one go.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to upgrade.
If he continued to upgrade, he couldn't imagine how powerful hypnotism would be.
"No, such a powerful skill, can't it stop here, go back and think of a way, find other skills to cultivate, and see if you can continue to upgrade after merging?"
Then he looked down at the attribute points below.
3 of them are rewarded after the upgrade of the Eater Technique, 1 point is the reward of the hypnotic upgrade, and 0.37 is the absorption of the meteorite, but unfortunately the meteorite has been completely scrapped, and during this time he has searched several national museums, but he has not been able to find the strange objects of heaven and earth that increase the attribute points.
It's just to find some strange stones that contain the power of heaven and earth.
"Anyway, it's hard to find a way to quickly increase attribute points in a short period of time, if you want to impact the upgrade of the Inner Dan Technique, I don't know that it will be the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, why don't you add points?"
Jiang Sheng looked at the attribute points of 4.37, and felt a little itchy for a while.
Do what you think.
He added one point each to Constitution, Strength, Agility, and Spirit, and kept the remaining 0.37.
A faint spiritual tide came from his brain, and he felt that his understanding of "Nei Dan Gong" had reached another level, and at the same time, he felt a surging force rising from his limbs and internal organs.
However, whether it is the spiritual tide or the surging sense of strength, it comes and goes faster.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he didn't even have time to take a closer look at Nei Dan Gong when his thoughts were interrupted by a surging hunger.
"Too little! According to this amount, if you want to directly rely on the spiritual tide to comprehend the Inner Dan Gong, and even upgrade to LV4, it is estimated that you need at least 40 attribute points, which is too big! β
Jiang Sheng thought secretly in his heart.
But then he clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and he was still very excited.
1 point of physique, strength, agility and spirit, or his body has changed significantly!
He picked up the silver spoon on the table, and with a slight force, the handle of the spoon was directly pinched flat.
He smiled and began to recharge his body.
After eating, he took out a wad of Australian dollars from his backpack and threw it to the waiter.
He left the restaurant and wandered around the ship......
Like most luxury cruise ships, the newly renamed "Meloti" not only has a luxury casino, a large theater, performing arts performances, etc., but also a water park, children's activity room, game arcade and other entertainment facilities specially designed for family travelers.
In addition, there is a large swimming pool, spa, gymnasium, spa and so on.
Of course, there are also various shopping malls, boutiques, jewelry stores. Fashion brand stores, etc.
In short, there is a lot of eating, drinking, and merrymaking.
He wandered all the way to the marketing department on the second floor of the cruise ship, and the security guard stopped him: "Sorry sir, this is a private area, it is forbidden to enter." β
Jiang Sheng looked into his eyes and said, "I'm your boss, aren't I?" Of course I can get in. β
LV4's hypnotism coupled with the impact of mental power instantly made the security guard's spirit become trance-like, Jiang Sheng's face kept changing in his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, he became the boss of this cruise ship.
The security guard showed a respectful look on his face, stepped aside and said, "Boss, please come in." β
At this time, there was still a blankness in his eyes, which looked particularly strange when matched with the expression on his face.
Jiang Sheng walked towards the office of the marketing and sales department in front.
The marketing department includes duty-free shops, casinos, photo galleries, spas, shore cruises, future voyage sales, art auctions, and more.
And here is also the information about each customer's identity profile.
In the office of the head of the sales department, a female supervisor in her thirties is holding a meeting with several people in charge to discuss sales matters.
Hearing the movement at the door, several people turned their heads to see that it was a strange Asian man, and the Asian female supervisor Jin Meiji was surprised: "Who are you looking for?" β
Jiang Sheng smiled and walked towards her, "Looking for you." β
"Looking for me?" Jin Meiji looked surprised, "I don't seem to know you, how did you get in?" β
"It doesn't matter."
Before Jin Meiji could speak again, Jiang Sheng had already hypnotized several people in charge of the marketing and sales department in an instant, asking them to stand aside and wait.
Seeing several department heads standing aside expressionlessly, with a blank look on their faces, Jin Meiji was suddenly frightened, "...... How did you do that? β
"A powerful hypnosis." Jiang Sheng smiled and sat down next to Rose, "Do you want to experience it?" β
Without waiting for Kim Meiji to answer, a sound like thunder appeared in her ears, making her tremble, dizzy, and have a feeling of wanting to vomit, and then she lost control of her consciousness and body, and "watched" herself get up and take the laptop to the other party.
At the request of the other party, the password of the bookstore laptop is opened, and the customer's information is opened and placed in front of the other party.
Then, at the request of the other party, he poured him a glass of water and brought it to his hand.
The whole process, she was half-asleep and half-awake, she could hear, see, and do, but these were not her own instinctive actions, but were made under the control of that invisible spirit.
Kim Mi-hee was terrified.
She couldn't even refuse, she was like a marionette to be manipulated.
"See there's no fruit knife, go, pick it up."
Kim Mi-hee walked over to the fruit bowl and picked up the sharp knife.
"Cut the fat man's neck on the right."
"Don't......" Kim Mei-hee tried her best to resist in her heart, shouting, but her body was very honest, she raised the fruit knife and handed it to the fat man's neck, "Stop...... Yes...... Please......"
Kim Mei-hee's heart was almost about to collapse, what a terrifying thing it was to watch herself kill people with a knife, but she didn't even have the ability to refuse?
Tears fell silently from the corners of her eyes.
Just as the dagger was about to touch the fat man's neck, suddenly a "heavenly sound" sounded, "Okay, stop." I'll count three-two-one, and then you'll regain control of your body. β
The latter sentence was just added by Jiang Sheng himself, in fact, there is no need to add it at all, as long as he stops the continuous spiritual invasion of Jin Meiji, Jin Meiji will soon regain her own consciousness.
And the reason why I say this is just to increase her fear.
Kim Mi-hee recovered from her mind control and collapsed to the ground all at once.
Jiang Sheng didn't care about her, and looked at the customer information on the computer.
Each cruise ship has a clear picture of its customers, so that they can carry out accurate marketing campaigns.
In fact, it's not just cruise ships, big data is everywhere.
The Meloti cruise ship is no exception, with more than 2,700 passengers on board, divided into detailed divisions according to nationality regions.
Among them, 38% of the customers are Australians, 29% are East Asians, another 18% are Chinese, and the rest are some Europeans and Americans.
And although this is a luxury cruise ship for a 19-day trip to Australia and New Zealand, 65% of the guests are working-class, about 30% of the guests are middle-class, and less than 5% of the guests are wealthy people worth more than $10 million.
Among them, there are only 10 wealthy people in Australia and New Zealand, but they are not the rich themselves, but their family members.
It can be seen from here that the rich are no longer interested in the so-called luxury cruise ships, and the main consumer group is the working class.
Jiang Sheng checked the situation of the families of the 10 wealthy Australians and New Zealanders.
"Huh?"
When he saw the information of the family members of one of the wealthy people from Xinxi, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but be stunned, and then a funny look appeared on his face.
This man turned out to be the son and girlfriend of Cynthi Rocks ruling party member Ben Lawrence.
"It starts with you!"
Jiang Sheng immediately turned his head to look at Jin Meiji, who was limp on the ground, "Stand up." β
Kim Mei-hee is a woman who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, she knows that she has met a very terrible, very powerful person, the other party can control her life and death, and she has no ability to resist at all.
In this case, she can only obediently obey.
"Go, call this Alec Lawrence. You shouldn't have notified the security guards, right? β
"No...... No. β
"It's okay, you can try to call the security guards, but you'll jump into the Tasman Sea in front of everyone."
Looking at Jiang Sheng's evil smile, Jin Meiji went from head to toe, "I know, I'm going to call someone." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Wellington, the capital of Cynsey, is located in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean, across the Tasman Sea to the west, and is a member of the British Commonwealth.
The country is composed of two large islands, the South Island and the North Island, and Stewart Island and some small islands nearby, which has a temperate oceanic climate, and the whole territory is mountainous, the plains are narrow, and the forest resources are abundant.
It has a total area of about 270,000 square kilometres and a total population of about 5.2 million, of which 70% are descendants of European immigrants and 17% are MΔori.
Cyncy Rock, like Oshu, was once a colony of the Eagle Nation and was used as a large ranch for exiles, and to this day, the economy is still dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry, with agricultural and animal products exporting about 50% of total exports.
"Where are you from?"
"Chinese."
"You're also Chinese? Why haven't I seen you? β
"There are so many Chinese people, it's not normal that I haven't seen them."
"The Chinese circle here in Cyncy is very small, and those who often come out to mingle basically know each other or have mutual friends, just a few gangs of people."
"I don't mix. But I heard that you should be careful of Chinese people here, you don't seem to care too much about my identity? β
"I don't care, you can't pit me, only I pit people. As for being careful of the Chinese, it's actually okay, there are bad people in every country, but the Chinese circle is a more realistic circle than in China, and it is more naked and laughing at the poor and not smiling at the prostitutes...... Forget it, let's not talk about this, you know. β
In a street cafΓ© in Wellington's bustling business district, two Chinese people chatted casually.
One of the young men wore stud earrings and silver ornaments on his chest, while the other long-haired young man looked ordinary, but he was very tall and powerful, much taller than the young man wearing the studs.
The weather was nice this afternoon, the sun was shining, and it was very pleasant to sit on the side of the street, soak up the sun breeze, and drink coffee.
The long-haired young man took a sip of his coffee cup, glanced at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and said casually: "I'm new here, tell me how you feel here." β
The young man with the stud took a sip of coffee and said, "Feel it...... This country is very white, a super-super society, which has reached a pathological level, and everywhere it demands that the right treatment be correct, coupled with the arrogance and ignorance peculiar to the descendants of the Eagle Country, a large number of very fake and pretentious white people have been formed. β
"And the people of Xinxi seem to have a disease of pretending that they are very good at talking and don't care about anything, everyone doesn't care, they are easy to talk, and they are very hypocritical, because if they don't do that, they will be despised, and they can't "do things", you know? Reasonable requests within the normal scope are afraid of being talked about too much. β
"Maybe at first you think they are very good, just like many people who come to travel, they think that the people of Xinxi are hospitable, but in fact, after a long time, you will know that they are not, they will fix you in places you can't see, making you very uncomfortable, it is better to be direct."
"From ordinary people to the Yanfu, it is the attitude that more things are better than less things, and if anything can be delayed, like the Japanese people, they like to pretend to be stupid, and most of the actors who represent the image of Xin Xiyi in various media are slightly chubby and will be accepted if they dress very casually."
"Proud of the soil, the pursuit of simplicity and simplicity comes at a price, simple and simple whoever is ugly is equal to advocating ignorance and anti-intellectualism, hypocrisy to the extreme, all kinds of occupations are inactive, all kinds of inefficiency is outrageously low, and various departments kick each other's balls."
After a pause, the young man with stud earrings took a sip of coffee and moistened his throat and said, "You may think I'm alarmist, let me tell you a few statistics and you will understand, Cyncy is one of the countries with the worst school bullying in the world."
The self-S rate of adolescents is the highest in developed countries, and the overall self-S rate is among the top 15 in the world, especially for men between the ages of 20~24.
The rate of child abuse is the highest in the developed world, domestic violence is the highest in the developed country, and the proportion of the mentally ill population is the highest in the world.
In addition, their police solve crimes with a measly 8%. β
The long-haired young man couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this, "I really don't know this, just seeing that the environment here in Xinxi is good, the scenery is charming, and so on, and what is the pearl of the sea." β
The young man with studs said: "The scenery is good, but you can't eat it just by looking at the scenery, the price of Xinxi is the fourth most expensive in the world, and it is difficult to describe the income." I won't tell you about this information, and I'm sorry for my bowels anyway. β
"I came to Cyncy Rock, and TM was burglary 6 times a year, and more than 2 million belongings were stolen."
The long-haired young man asked, "Don't the police care?" β
The young man with the stud said angrily: "a fart! The law here stipulates that if you bump into a burglar, you can't hit or hurt the thief, you can only choose to call the police. TM's, with the efficiency of the Cyncy Rocks police, by the time they came, the thieves had already gone abroad. β
"And the requirements for conviction here are very strict, let's put it this way, if the money is not put in his pocket, just holding it in his hand, it can't be considered theft, at most it is an attempted theft, it is basically a verbal education, and there will be no sentence at all, it is outrageous!"
"So burglary here is very rampant, Chinese people are even more easy to be robbed, and there are also smashing cars, snatching mobile phones, specifically robbing Chinese people, seeing that you are Chinese, not only robbing you of things, but also scolding you, anyway, your English is not good, and those departments don't want to stand out for Chinese."
"The reporter came to interview and asked the victim how much cash you had brought. He also asked the victim why did you go out with cash? The subtext is that you deserve to be robbed. β
The young man with the studs seemed to have a long-standing grudge against Xinxi, and Jiang Sheng, a stranger's casual question, caused him to talk endlessly.
The long-haired young man asked, "Didn't you hear that the welfare package here is very good, and there is free medical care?" β
When the stud man heard this, he immediately said: "When you come, you will know, people who work normally here are not allowed to receive benefits, and this is a paradise for unemployed vagrants and idle people in society." β
"As for free medical care, you have to go to the family doctor first, the level of the family doctor here is not as good as the health center in the small county town in China, it is free to go to the public hospital to see a doctor, and the queue is at least one or two years, and the private hospital is still expensive and scary, as long as you are not sick to the point that you are about to die, they will not pay attention to it."
The long-haired youth: "In that case, why don't you go back to China?" β
The stud man sighed and said, "I want to go back, it's not that I can't go back." was fooled by TM immigration agency, sold the house in Zhonghai, and gave up an offer from a business editor, and now I want to smoke my mouth when I think about it. β
The long-haired young man asked, "Seeing that you know Xinxi so well, it just so happens that I have some things to do with you." β
