In fact, with the current development level of psychic technology in Wancheng Country, many technological products should be invented as a matter of course.

However, out of Zhou Ming's expectation, his previous life, Zhang Shanhe, had been dead for 25 years, and the technology of Wancheng Kingdom had indeed become more advanced.

But many things did not come out naturally.

For example, electromagnetic wave telegraphy is available, but no one has invented psychic wave telegraphy.

We already have cameras and gramophones, but movies, which require simple tinkering, have not yet appeared.

In all other walks of life, there are cases where the technology tree is not complete.

Only the alchemy and weapon refining industries have made considerable progress since the death of Zhang Shanhe in the previous life, but the production capacity and efficiency have not increased much, and the selling prices of various low-cost elixirs have not changed significantly.

Even some pills have increased their selling prices.

This is not what Zhou Ming wants to see.

It also shows that after Zhang Shanhe's death, the main senior officials of Wancheng Kingdom did not fully implement the route he set and made adjustments privately.

But this is also very normal. Only a few can maintain their original intentions. After the death of a great figure, it is impossible to avoid the emergence of some selfish motives among the successors, the emergence of some careerists, conspirators, and even special interest groups.

At least for now, the country is generally healthy, far from the point where Zhou Ming feels like it is going to end.

And in the blink of an eye, the first semester of the college has gradually come to an end.

Summer vacation is coming soon.

After all the final assessments, the more than two-month summer vacation was not easy for the students.

Because the college has arranged summer practical activities, every student is required to complete them as much as possible. Finally, different contribution points will be awarded based on the completion status.

For example, you can choose to serve in the Lingyuan Fleet. During the two-month service period, you can get 100-500 contribution points depending on your performance.

For example, you can join the Trade Guard and participate in trade with other continents. If you complete the task well, you will not only get generous rewards, but also 300-1000 contribution points.

However, joining the Trade Guard is more risky and requires students to have higher levels of cultivation. Generally, only students in third grade or above are eligible to apply.

Practical activities suitable for first and second grade students are domestic tasks such as eradicating evil cultivators, assisting in arresting criminals, investigating mysterious incidents, etc... Some are more dangerous, some are more difficult to complete, and some are extremely simple. .

For example, eradicating a group of bandits who committed crimes outside a certain village, catching a criminal who fled to a certain city, etc... Sending a few students may solve the problem easily.

But there are also some practical activities. After students participate in them, they are either brutally killed or disappear mysteriously, which makes people feel horrified and their faces change drastically.

This kind of practice, students call it "death practice", has a very high mortality rate.

Naturally, they avoid it, no matter how high the reward is.

On the summer practice task panel, Zhou Ming looked at the task marked in red at the top with a thoughtful look on his face.

"The Illusion Array Serial Murder Case in the Ancient Temple of Yongshui Village in Bilan City"

This mission is about a strange ancient temple outside Yongshui Village under Bilan City. There is usually nothing wrong with this ancient temple, but every year on July 30th, when the sun disappears and the world becomes dark, this ancient temple An ancient temple will turn into a phantom formation, luring passers-by within a radius of dozens of miles into the formation, and finally disappear.

After a while, the bones of the missing people will be found sporadically around the ancient temple.

It is said that this ancient temple has a history of more than a hundred years and has killed countless passers-by. It is a famous "evil place" in the local area.

Daxian College once sent students there to assist the National Special Operations Bureau in the investigation, but the three groups sent all disappeared without a trace.

In order to avoid greater losses, the college had to mark this task as a red dangerous task. Students can take this task, but the main content becomes "exploration" and "assisting the special operations team to set up a cordon to prevent others from entering." , the risk of the task is significantly reduced, and after the task is completed, the contribution points that can be obtained are about 500.

Even so, few students dared to take on this task.

Because this ancient temple is very evil, the phantom array it releases can be large or small, sometimes covering a range of up to five miles, and sometimes up to fifty miles. Once people are enveloped by the phantom array, if they cannot wake up in time before dawn, they will eventually be completely destroyed. Disappeared into the phantom formation...

So it is this ancient temple that has cost the country more than fifty public officials, but it still cannot solve the mystery of the ancient temple murders.

However, Zhou Ming wanted to challenge this practical task that everyone talked about and find out.

After learning about his idea, the students were all dumbfounded, and then stopped them one after another.

"Squad leader, this is a death practice, you must consider it carefully!"

"Squad leader, I have a mission to kill the man-eating beasts, and I still need one manpower. Why don't you form a team with me? As long as we kill the beasts, we can both get 800 contribution points."

"Squad leader, it's not bad to serve in the Lingyuan Fleet. Although the contribution points are a little less, the task is easy and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of some places."

Of course Zhou Ming knew about the kindness of his classmates and expressed his gratitude.

But he was really interested in the mission "Ancient Temple Murder".

Not only because the contribution point reward for this task is very high, it can reach 10,000 points...if the mystery can be completely solved.

In addition, he also discovered many interesting doubts through some information.

Moreover, that ancient temple is located across an important traffic thoroughfare. Over the past hundred years, nearly ten thousand people have been killed through the phantom formation.

According to the introduction of some evil techniques, this is a number that can cause qualitative changes...

He was going to give it a try.

In addition, the three-year appointment is coming soon, and there is a competition waiting for him in Jade Orchid City. This summer vacation, he has to complete this competition.

Therefore, you can complete the practical mission "Ancient Temple Murder" along the way.

Of course, this task requires at least 4 people, and Zhou Ming also needs to find a few partners.

Two girls in the class expressed their willingness to go with the monitor, but Zhou Ming declined their offer.

He has a partner who works better with him.

Chen En, brothers Lei Zuo and Lei You, Zhang Yu... all four of them joined Zhou Ming's practical mission.

Even though they knew it was an extremely dangerous death mission, they didn't feel any fear.

On the contrary, he was eager to try.

Chen En even said with a look of longing: "10,000 contribution points, five people will get one point, each person can get 2,000 points."

The role of college contribution points is very huge (can be used in common with national contribution points). The higher the contribution points, the better the secrets of exercises that can be borrowed in the library, such as special elixirs, high-level magic weapons, and spiritual guns. Purchasing also requires contribution points to reach a certain amount and will be consumed.

For example: if students want to buy a sky-control suit, the college's contribution points must be more than 1,000 points. If they exceed 2,000 points, they can get a 10% discount, and if they exceed 10,000 points, they can get a 20% discount... If there is not a single contribution point, then The only option is to buy those second-hand or third-hand old Royal Sky suits. Brand new ones are hard to buy even if you have money.

As for this task, why Chen En is so confident that he can definitely solve the mystery of "The Murder in the Ancient Temple", actually he doesn't know why.

Maybe... his trust in his boss has reached an extremely blind level.

Not only him, but also Lei Zuo Lei You and Zhang Yu.

June 28th.

A day when the whole school is on holiday.

East of Zhenlin City.

Thousands of miles of clear sky, thousands of meters above the ground.

A group of monks wearing aerial suits flew eastward at high speed in a "human" formation.

The monk flying at the front had a very gorgeous air-control suit with smooth lines. The white mist was drawn out during the flight, and he flew at extremely fast speeds with a graceful posture like Iron Man.

Gradually, he distanced himself from the four people behind him.

"Boss, please fly slower, we can't keep up."

Chen En's voice came from the intercom.

"Boss, we have been flying for more than two hours and three to four thousand miles. We have consumed a lot of soul power. Let's go down and rest for a while."

"Boss, I can't hold on any longer."

Brother Lei Zuo Lei You said.

"Okay, let's go down and take a rest."

Zhou Ming slowed down, found a hill with a gentle slope, and landed down.

Chen En and others landed next to him one after another.

"Boss, you are using the best ninth-generation air-control suit, and we are using modified second-hand ones. You fly fast and effortlessly, and we can only chase after you desperately. Do you think this is fair?"

Pulling down the flexible mask on his face, Chen En, who was covered in sweat, complained.

You must know that flying in an aerial suit requires overcoming huge air resistance at high speeds, and also consumes a lot of soul power. Over time, it consumes a lot of physical and mental energy, which is very hard.

"Chen En can't say that. Our boss has helped modify the air suits, and their performance is no worse than brand new ones. The money to buy these suits was lent to us by our boss."

Zhang Yu said that she was quite dissatisfied with Chen En's complaints.

Brother Lei Zuo and Lei You also said: "It's not that the air-control suit is bad, it's that our cultivation is not as good as the boss's."

Chen En quickly smiled and said: "I'm too tired, so I'm complaining. Boss, please don't mind."

"It's okay, I was just thinking about myself and flew away."

Zhou Ming, with no sweat on his face, said with a smile that now he is an immortal. After putting on the air-control suit, he can fly happily and unrestrainedly. This feeling of free flying has never been experienced before (it is also very rare). short).

So now he enjoys this feeling very much.

Immortal feeling.

If it doesn’t have a routine, it’ll be bland, but there will be a plot next
