I am in a world where time stands still

Chapter 227 Xizhe
The mysterious silver water drop was floating up and down in the sky, and it was still rotating slowly.

It has to be said that the silver water droplets showing their true face at this time are really not something that should exist on the earth at all.

No matter how you look at it, it gives people a sense of eccentricity.

"Unexpectedly, I was careless..."

A buzzing sound came from overhead.

Xiao Fan looked at the sky suspiciously for a long time, and then focused his eyes on the silver water drop again.

Could it really be it?

is it talking?
After all, the words spoken by Zhong Ling with Silver Eyes made Xiao Fan accustomed to using that synthetic voice as the voice of an alien civilization. At this moment, it is really difficult for Xiao Fan to adapt to this strange tone.

"It turns out that there are still advanced civilizations on this earth," the voice said slowly: "If you really want to get to the bottom of it, it seems that your advanced civilization is not behind my civilization, and is even basically at the same level. If If I had discovered this fact earlier, I would not have even been sent by my civilization."

"You..." Xiao Fan looked at the erratic and strange silver water drop suspiciously and vigilantly and asked, "Your so-called colony really has some selection criteria."

"That's natural," the silver water drop said: "At least, we won't provoke those civilizations that have at least the same level of development as ours. We still have self-knowledge. In the vast universe, we are just ordinary, very ordinary people." As an existence, we don't have that strong or blind self-confidence. Besides, we don't want to break the rules."

"Rules?" Xiao Fan frowned, "What rules."

"Of course it's a rule between cosmic civilizations. If you haven't heard of it, the best in your civilization should know it. Only when the gap between the development levels of two civilizations reaches a certain level, a higher civilization will move towards Colonization by lower civilizations is considered to be in compliance with the regulations. Otherwise, it will be considered a rule breaker. Even if it wins in the end, it will be punished by other more powerful civilizations. Therefore, we still will not Those who risk their lives for the sake of petty profit."

Xiao Fan asked: "So, the degree of development of the earth's civilization has reached the standard of your so-called advanced civilization?"

"It can be said that, although I have not judged this way before." Silver Water Drop said: "But, to be honest, neither you nor Lao Gao, the heights you can reach are beyond the reach of a so-called lower civilization. Achieved. Your understanding and application of energy, time and space, and the universe have greatly exceeded my previous assessment. Therefore, Xiao Fan, I want to apologize to you..."

"Apologize..." Xiao Fan's eyes showed loss and anger, he clenched his fists and asked, "So, what about Lao Gao, he will never be resurrected again, will he?"

"As far as our civilization is concerned, yes. Lao Gao, after all, he is a representative of a fairly advanced civilization. I can only apologize for his death."

As soon as the silver water drop finished speaking, the trapezoidal crystal in Zhong Ling's hand emitted a dazzling blue light.

The silver water drop said: "In order to truly express my apology, I will give you this trapezoidal crystal."

Xiao Fan glanced at the crystal stone disdainfully, and asked in displeasure: "Trapezoidal crystal, it doesn't look very good-looking. Why, a stone just wants to apologize and send us away?"

"Please rest assured," said the silver water drop, "our apology is sincere. The blue crystal in your hands now has the powerful ability to manipulate space. Without changing the time coordinates, you will be able to Quickly switch between different space coordinate points. Simply put, you will get the ability to 'space teleport'. I call it 'space pendulum'."

"Spatial teleportation?" Xiao Fan immediately understood, "Is that what Zhong Ling with silver eyes did in the past?"

How could Xiao Fan forget that Silver-eyed Zhong Ling's teleportation ability really surprised him before.

Its ability to manipulate space is simply terrifying.

"Of course, if you want to truly control the ability to control the space pendulum, I would recommend her..."

Xiao Fan glanced at Zhong Ling who was weak in his arms, "Her?"

"That's right, since she was once chosen by me, she must have something extraordinary. In fact, she is the person who has the most tacit understanding and compatibility with our civilization achievements, so she will be the most likely to leave me , and still gain the ability to teleport through space."

The silver water drop seems to have changed its gender, and its attitude towards Xiao Fan suddenly became better, and it took the trouble to tell Xiao Fan many secrets that he didn't know.

"Of course, since I am expressing my apology, what I leave you is not just the space pendulum," Silver Water Drop said: "The gray-black blade in her hand is also a good thing. However, I guess, you should Don’t know what it does.”

"This?" Xiao Fan looked at the irregular blade in Zhong Ling's hand, "What is this?"

"I'm not sure?" The silver drop said: "However, what I can confirm is that this blade carries a lot of information about advanced civilizations, but none of them are complete. In my opinion, only after being merged with other similar items , can really show the true value of these mysterious items."

Xiao Fan's heart skipped a beat.

What the silver water drop said made him suddenly think of a concept.

Password puzzle! ?
Xiao Fan once obtained a password puzzle, and Xiao Fan personally gave it to Li Ruoying, who kept it for Li Ruoying.

Lao Gao said that the AI-enhanced compound man dreams of obtaining all three password puzzles. Only in this way can he have the opportunity to make a technological leap 100 years in advance.

But Xiao Fan did not expect that one of the password puzzles had been in Lao Gao's hands all along.

Thinking of what Lao Gao said before, Xiao Fan seemed to understand Lao Gao at last.

Perhaps, he is not a fanatic, but he really cares about the development of human beings and AI-enhanced compound humans.

Xiao Fan looked at the silver water droplets, "How do you know this?"

"Well..." the silver drop said: "When Lao Gao was annihilated into energy, his consciousness still retained for a short time. He told me, I hope I will tell you. He also left that thing to you .”

"Okay, everything has been explained."

While speaking, the swirling silver water droplets rose higher and higher, and finally passed through the clouds and disappeared.

He continued to rise rapidly, escaped from the gravity of the earth, and flew into the vast universe.

Xiao Fan didn't know where the silver droplet was going.

Maybe it's a home, maybe it's looking for a new colony planet, but no matter what, Xiao Fan seems to have a new understanding of the civilization in the universe.

The words that the silver droplet said before leaving contained a lot of important information, but they were all told by the silver droplet without reservation.

This is not the same as the civilization that was supposed to replace humans not long ago.

Only then did Xiao Fan start to recall and think about whether civilization itself should be understood and thought about from a more three-dimensional dimension.

……

Xiao Fan brought Zhong Ling back to Rongcheng.

Although Zhong Ling's family, classmates, and friends were extremely worried about Zhong Ling's disappearance, Zhong Ling himself had no idea about his experience of being selected and controlled by the silver water drop.

However, when she held the blue crystal that Xiao Fan gave him, which Xiao Fan called a space pendulum, she would often become absorbed in looking at it in a daze.

It seems that the pendulum swinging in the crystal really represents the powerful manipulation of space.

As for Lao Gao's gray-black dagger, which is also one of the three password puzzles, Xiao Fan is very cautious and puts it away first.

He couldn't help thinking that maybe one day, this coded puzzle would resonate magically with someone like the previous coded puzzle.

……

【Ding!Complete system tasks!Obtain system rewards: 500 system points. 】

The system station was short and delivered on time.

The corner of Xiao Fan's mouth curved, and he immediately opened the system panel skillfully.

He wants to check his system point balance.

Yes, Not Bad!

709 points!
Xiao Fan is very satisfied with such a report card.

He had never completed a task with such a generous reward, and when he finally received the reward from the system, Xiao Fan even had a sense of unreality, feeling too illusory.

But the mood didn't last long.

Because he knew that this mission was actually the longest, most difficult and most complex one, so such a generous system reward seemed to be a given.

Now, the next level of time freeze skill, that is, lv12 time freeze, has been lying in the window of the system store waiting for him for a long time.

At this point, the system point value required to upgrade to the next level has been displayed, which requires 110 points.

Faced with this not-so-low price, Xiao Fan felt very relaxed for the first time.

After all, he already holds hundreds of system points.

Without hesitation, Xiao Fan clicked on upgrade.

At this time, contrary to his expectation, just after upgrading to lv12, lv13 in the system store panel lit up.

Only this time, Xiao Fan understood the logic of the system store.

Dare to love does not have to wait for a while before continuing to update new items!
From this point of view, as long as you have enough system points to continue purchasing, the system will correspondingly light up the following items in the system store.

For example, at this moment, the time stop of lv13 has been lit up, and the required price is: 120 system points.

Xiao Fan seemed to understand something.

The price returned to the arithmetic series again and began to increase more gently.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Fan simply bought it again and continued to upgrade it!
……

This time, the rich and powerful Xiao Fan was different.

He actually upgraded 4 times in a row, directly rising to lv15.

A total of 500 system points were spent.

Xiao Fan also deliberately kept his initial 200-plus system points.

[Successfully upgraded to lv15.The maximum effect radius of the skill: 20 meters, the maximum duration: 20 seconds. 】

[Acquiring the "protective color" skill, when using the time stop skill, even if there is a third party, they will not find the existence of the time stop barrier, and will not become a third-party observer. 】

Xiao Fan was secretly startled.

This skill may seem troublesome, but it is actually a very powerful skill.

In the past, the biggest problem affecting the time stop enchantment was third-party observation.

But now, if the eyes of third-party observers can be blocked in some way, the effect of the time stop skill can be maximized.

It can be said that this is a very targeted reinforcement skill.

Xiao Fan couldn't wait to try it out, how powerful the new time stop barrier is.

……

a.

Europe, Pirami city.

Xizhe Group Headquarters.

No. 5 Xizhe sat in the center of the group conference hall.

At the moment, he is listening to the report of the Group Marketing Department on the latest business development.

When the marketing manager introduced, his face was bright and his tone seemed a little smug.

But it is indeed enough for him to look good, the expansion of the market size last month is amazing.

For a comprehensive and super-large enterprise like Xizhe Group, it is very difficult, or even impossible, to suddenly achieve large-scale performance improvement.

However, Xizhe Group really did it, but it was a bit beyond everyone's expectations. Although everyone in the group worked hard to expand the group's profits, the results were not very significant.

Now it's all right, the main business of the group in all aspects has blossomed across the board.

More importantly, there is no sign of this turnaround, as if all of a sudden, customers all over the world have favored Xizhe Group again.

Of course, the region with the most obvious increase is still in the Far East.

Listening to these introductions, Xi Zhe nodded frequently, very satisfied.

Of course, he himself is somewhat clear.

I actually unintentionally made a very cost-effective image and social responsibility introduction for the company.

This matter is actually not difficult, that is, after Xizhe made a bet with Lao Gao, Xizhe went to solve the problem of flooding.

When the dam collapses and the floods are raging, and the land downstream is about to be submerged, tens of millions of people are in danger, but Xizhe can miraculously turn the flood into a sky full of water vapor.

Such a feat was controversial for a while.

Some people say that he has magic in both hands, and some people say that he just happened to be lucky.

But in any case, the fact is that Xizhe withstood the ferocious flood and saved the lives of tens of millions of people.

With such great achievements, Xizhe Group will naturally be much better.

Regardless of whether they have ever done business with Xizhe Group, customers and competitors in the business field now have a very good impression of Xizhe Group.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand.

With such a reputation, it is natural and easy to do well in business and earn more money.

After listening to the marketing manager's report, Xizhe immediately made a decision: Go to the source of everything, maybe you will have better luck.

Specifically, Xizhe has already made a plan. Xizhe Group will start businesses in more than a dozen major cities across the country, including Rongcheng, and will expand the business of Xizhe Group in China on a large scale.

Of course, as a necessary homework for doing business, Xizhe Group also researched the situation of related domestic or peer companies accordingly.

Among these enterprises, there are leading enterprises such as Kepler Investment Group, Xingjian Industry, etc., which have a huge influence in China.
