Big Data Cultivation

Feng Jun had some understanding of the Potion of Longevity, so he thought... Yu Qingzhu, you don’t need to compete for this.

Yu Qingzhu was silent for a moment, then timidly asked, "I heard... Boss, you gave Director Mei ninety doses of the Evergreen Elixir?"

"She’s just a ’twenty-four filial piety daughter’, there’s nobody else in her eyes besides her mom," Feng Jun casually replied, "The key is her mom also has a lot of issues, just coax her and it’ll be fine."

As if my grandpa doesn’t have many issues, Yu Qingzhu thought to herself, a bit speechless, but she still stated, "I’m also very filial."

"Don’t worry about these trivial matters," Feng Jun shook his head, "If I’m not mistaken, you already gave your grandpa an Evergreen Fruit, didn’t you?"

"Yes," Yu Qingzhu nodded, straightforwardly admitting, "I collected quite a few treasures to prolong life, including an Evergreen Fruit, which I intend for my parents; as for my grandpa, I’ve prepared a Millennium Southern Mountain Bamboo Shoot for him, but he’ll have to wait a while to take it... can’t be too conspicuous."

"Millennium Southern Mountain Bamboo Shoot, that’s a treasure that prolongs life by thirty years, right?" Feng Jun chuckled, "In that case, your grandpa can at least live to be one hundred and thirty years old, why are you worried?"

"But I want him to live to one hundred and fifty," Yu Qingzhu had already acknowledged the boss’s strength, but some of the habits ingrained in her since childhood couldn’t change overnight, she argued her case, "If I could save the Southern Mountain Bamboo Shoot... I could leave it for my parents."

Feng Jun raised his hand, slapped his forehead, and spoke helplessly, "Do you think the longevity treasures from the Cultivation World are more effective, or are the tech-side Potions of Longevity better?"

"Of course, the longevity treasures from the Cultivation World are better," Yu Qingzhu answered without hesitation, she had a clear understanding of this, "Over there in the Insect World, humans can live up to one hundred and fifty years at most, but Qi-Refining Cultivators who eat Southern Mountain Bamboo Shoot can live to one hundred eighty."

"Exactly," Feng Jun looked at her, amused and exasperated, "Then why bother competing for this Evergreen Elixir? It’s not as good as the Potion of Longevity."

It’s not entirely accurate to say that the Evergreen Elixir is not as good as the Potion of Longevity. The Evergreen Elixir is actually stronger than the Potion of Longevity in enhancing human functions—otherwise, why would Ninth Brother send the Evergreen Elixir to Xingzheng Star at this time?

It’s just that the Evergreen Elixir is used by fewer people and has specific strong effects.

Yu Qingzhu kept a tight face, emphasizing again after a long while, "Sister Mei’s mother... has the Evergreen Elixir."

Do they have to compete on this too? Feng Jun helplessly slapped his forehead, "Her mom and your grandpa are not the same thing... I just want to relieve her worries so she can cultivate well."

Yu Qingzhu’s face was tightened further, "But my grandpa is older, he’s more than forty years older than Sister Mei’s mom."

Her grandpa was over a hundred years old, Sister Mei’s mom was not yet sixty.

"But neither of them can cultivate anymore, their lifespan is foreseeable," Feng Jun really wanted to get angry, but he couldn’t, this was Luohua’s core disciple, his fundamental support, although losing one or two from the fundamental support wouldn’t matter, it’s still not ideal.

Not to mention, Yu Qingzhu was his goddess back in the day.

The goddess phenomenon is indeed strange, many class reunions can prove that no matter what the goddess has fallen into, and no matter what glory the passer-by boy from the past has grown into, he will still remember the goddess.

Ultimately, it’s a sentiment—a sentiment towards experiences of the past, a sentiment towards conquering all known worlds, even a sentiment towards breaking through oneself; wanting to make up for regrets from when one was weak—without remedying such lacks, life seems to be incomplete.

Feng Jun also felt this way, he hadn’t transcended to sainthood, cutting off the smoke and fire of the human world, he couldn’t abandon too many distractions. He couldn’t let go of the goddess in his heart, even though this goddess could almost fulfill any request, she was, after all, the goddess from the past.

So he patiently said, "Don’t make noise, your grandpa living to one hundred fifty is on me, alright?"

"I’m not making noise," Yu Qingzhu felt particularly aggrieved, even tears welled up in her eyes, "I just want to earn your approval through my own efforts, and fight for some resources for my grandpa... where did I go wrong?"

Feng Jun was stunned immediately, he froze for a long time, then raised his hand and gave himself a slap, "You’re not wrong, it’s my mistake."

How difficult is it to make Feng Jun admit a mistake? It’s really not usually difficult because, like most people, he generally believes he’s right, especially after extraordinary encounters, he hadn’t inflated too much—just like Beauty Lin had said.

Not to mention, he thought of himself as a person of principles.

But at this moment, he did feel like he was wrong. Seeing Yu Qingzhu now, reminded him of himself in the past.

Was Yu Qingzhu a second generation? What background her family has, goes without saying, within Luohua’s system, she was just a newbie with good talent and a "space" attribute.

Was Yu Qingzhu proud? She certainly must be, being Yu Family’s little princess, endowed with both talents and beauty, why shouldn’t she be proud?

But the circle of Luohua, or rather the ecological environment, was something Yu Qingzhu had never encountered before, all her pride was insignificant within this circle.

Before, she might have been a little conflicted, but now she plans to work hard to get what she wants. Isn’t this exactly the mindset Feng Jun had when he struggled in society?

So Feng Jun gave himself a slap. Back then, he blamed the heavens and the earth for not having opportunities, and now that he can give others a chance, he inadvertently created unfairness. You can’t live life this way.

Gathering his thoughts, he spoke in a deep voice, "However, what you’ve done so far is not enough to earn ninety doses of Evergreen Elixir. How about this? Discuss with Xiao Caixin and establish a Contribution Points system within the manor."

"Contribution Points system? Alright," Yu Qingzhu nodded. After pondering, she added, "But over on Cai Xin’s side, it would be better if you talked to her directly, Big Boss. I’m not influential enough."

Somehow, what they discussed reached Yang Yuxin, who volunteered, "Let me join in on this too. In the past, Luohua really didn’t have much planning. This time, we need to carefully discuss and establish a reasonable process."

She also suggested that it would be best to invite Feng Wenhui and Zhang Junyi to also hear their thoughts.

Feng Jun didn’t object to this, so he first went to the Kunhao Realm to find Zhang Caixin, bringing her back, and then they all went to Chaoyang to invite the two elders for a discussion.

Besides them, they also brought in Sister Hong, Gazi, Xu Leigang, and Gao Qiang. The group discussed for a full three days, eventually drafting a basic outline that later became the "Wenxian Manor Villagers’ Material Distribution Regulations."

With the regulations decided, the development of the program required a process. Feng Jun entrusted the task to Yu Qingzhu and Gao Qiang, while he himself left Earth and once again ventured to the Insect World.

This time he stayed on Earth for a relatively long period, occasionally opening the Bidirectional Gate. In the Insect World, just over four days had passed, and in the underground warehouse of the metal recycling company, there were still thirty to forty thousand tons of energy stones not yet transformed.

So Feng Jun made another trip to the Ciansi Star System, bringing along the Tuotuo True Sage, to locate the star system where the Luan Xiong True Sage was situated.

Luan Xiong True Sage was a bit unhappy, "I haven’t been here long, and now it’s time for me to switch? I say, Tuotuo, why don’t you come later?"

"It’s also quite boring on the other side," True Sage Jiu Si expressed helplessly, "Why don’t you stay here too, and if there are alerts over there, we can go together?"

Luan Xiong didn’t speak, merely looking at Feng Jun, obviously tempted.

"True Sage, rules are rules," Feng Jun said with determination, "we’re on a battlefield. If support is delayed, it’ll be too late for regrets."

"Sigh, of course I know this," Luan Xiong thought for a moment and offered a suggestion, "How about you give me three more days, and see if I can figure out where the Ciansi Star System is? If we can find it, we’ll directly attack the Insect Race’s lair."

Feng Jun didn’t like making random changes to plans, but he nodded, "Alright, if you really can find the source of the insects, it’ll save us the stress of waiting. I also prefer to take the initiative."

Then he returned to Xingzheng Star, this time heading to Hesheng to check on how He Runxian was doing.

To his surprise, Hesheng was under military control; although production inside the base continued, military presence was visible everywhere from the gate to the inside, giving an atmosphere of significant tension.

Feng Jun didn’t release his Divine Sense, but quietly asked the Big Boss, "How is He Runxian doing now?"

"Still in the Doomsday Fortress," the Big Boss answered casually, "but the City Defense Army and the military... seem to be at odds."

The two observed for a day and a night, basically confirming that something had indeed happened at Hesheng.

Minister Shen had already been taken by the military for investigation, but Hesheng also incited the military’s discontent. The surface reason was the loss of equipment from a brigade that needed Hesheng’s cooperation in the investigation, but the real reason wasn’t monetary.

To sum it up, Minister Shen was the fourth most influential figure of the military on Xingzheng Star. If he were in trouble, how could nobody be implicated?

If indeed no one was implicated, the military would become a laughing stock, which is why they acted against Hesheng.

Unfortunately, Zuo Jing City’s local government was also highly concerned about Hesheng. Hearing that the military wanted to take over the production base, they immediately dispatched the City Defense Army — which was technically part of the military.

The local authorities were worried about energy stones and medicinal supplies being bottlenecked, but this irritated the military. Luckily, the massive threat from the Insect Race was present, otherwise, they might retort: Is the City Defense Army part of the military?

In other star systems, the City Defense Army could be considered part of the military system, with slight local ties. However, on the Frontier Star, it’s basically a case of everyone being soldiers, with remarkable numbers in the City Defense Army relying heavily on local support.

So inside the current production base, the soldiers were all from the City Defense Army, though the military had also sent a team over.

The cooperation between the two sides, of course, was not pleasant.
