At six thirty, Chen Chuan changed into a windbreaker, picked up the Snow Emperor Blade, and left his dormitory to take the tram at the railway station. At this time, there were not many people on the tram, because those Company employees usually worked until eleven or twelve o'clock, and it was still early for the rush hour. Looking through the Boundary Token, the noisy sounds, colorful lights and shadows, and various dazzling advertisements constantly flooded his senses. Although he had been to Central City for many days, he still only saw the superficial things. Those hidden deep down had not yet been touched, and he needed more time. Recently, he had been chatting with Wu Bei , and now he knew that these lights and shadows also required a certain amount of resources to be invested through Boundary Points in order to be displayed. The amount of investment determined the effect presented to the outside world, and this kind of resource was also something that many people competed for. It was like when he first came to Wuyi Academy for vacation, because he was the only one in the Academy, and also because he was a new student, he was able to enjoy many resources alone. However, Wuyi Academy had an Active Consciousness Entity, and such resources should be enough for all students to use freely. Moreover, he also felt that from Hong Fu's perspective, the boundary between reality and illusion was very blurred, possibly a more advanced application, but Wu Bei couldn't explain why. At seven o'clock, Chen Chuan got off at the tram station. Because the location given by Instructor Wu was very remote, there was no direct bus, so he had to walk for half an hour to get there. However, along the way, he saw almost no residences, not even gang members. The street roads were broken and uneven, the ditches were filled with sewage, and there were weeds and gravel everywhere. Only occasionally he saw some bonfires by the roadside, with some vagrants sitting around them, and stray dogs wandering nearby. At seven thirty, Chen Chuan saw the small hill that he had seen on the map, and the two-story wooden house on it. The light inside was on at the moment, but no one was approaching. Chen Chuan walked along a path almost covered by weeds towards it. He could see many houses that seemed to have been pushed down and blown up, and after arriving here, the fading signs on Second Self became obvious. He glanced at it, did not stop, and continued to walk forward. After reaching the small hill, he approached the wooden house, and the door was opened from the inside. Instructor Wu stood in the house and said with a smile, "Chen classmate, please come in, I have been waiting for you for a long time." After the door opened, the light in the small house behind him was very bright, seemingly the only warm color in this lonely and cold night, and his smile was also very sincere and warm. Chen Chuan said, "I kept teacher waiting." "No, you are very punctual." Instructor Wu sighed and said, "Maybe my level is not high enough, I can't teach a student like you." He stepped aside and said, "Come in." Chen Chuan nodded. He walked in and saw that the furnishings in the house were neatly arranged. In the middle was a long table with a pot of tea on it, and five chairs on each side. Instructor Wu closed the door and said, "Sit anywhere." Then he went over to pick up the teapot and poured him a cup of steaming tea, saying, "I'm sorry to call you over so late, but school will start in a few days, and I don't want to face too many people, so as not to have too many regrets." Chen Chuan did not sit down, but came to the window and looked outside. The terrain here was slightly higher, and from here he could see the colorful and dazzling night view of Central City. Instructor Wu said, "The scenery here used to be very good. I used to live in the houses that were pushed down at the foot of the mountain. I don't know if you saw them when you came over. Later, a Company came and said they wanted to develop this area, and everyone was driven away. I remember it was not yet dawn that day, it was a very cold morning, and our family was driven out by a group of Security guards with guns, saying that the ownership of this area and its assets had been changed, and giving us an hour to leave here. At that time, I was very young, and I asked my father, what will happen here? My father said, many tall and beautiful houses will be erected here, just like other places in the city. I asked my father if we could live there then? At that time, my father just hugged me tightly…" Speaking of this, Instructor Wu sighed, "Later, he left me when I was ten years old. Then I realized that he was the tallest building." Chen Chuan looked at the foot of the hill, where there was only darkness, and said, "But why is there nothing here now?" "Because this matter ended without a conclusion. The Company abandoned this plan for some unknown reason, so this piece of land has been unattended for many years, and we have not been able to come back. It's ridiculous, isn't it?" Instructor Wu said mockingly, gesturing to one side, "Look, this is their advertising at the time." Chen Chuan turned to look at it and saw a long advertising banner on the wall. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there was a series of towering and imposing buildings carefully arranged, and a rainbow ran through from above, exactly located in the golden section. This painting was very beautiful and desirable, but considering the reality outside at this moment, it was very ironic. In the lower right corner of the painting was a familiar symbol. It was a blooming Melan. He stared at it for a while, was it Molan Company that needed this land at that time… "Chen student," Instructor Wu said with a smile, "I see that your communication contact avatar is still vacant. You may be a pragmatist, but don't underestimate this thing…" He pointed his finger, "A good contact avatar can give people a good impression, or it is an indirect expression of your preferences and personality. You better choose one, it can increase a lot of impression points when dealing with people in the future." Chen Chuan glanced at him. If he didn't know that this teacher had been deceiving him from the beginning, he might have thought that this was a true good teacher and helpful friend. But now these are not necessarily his disguise. After all, people are complex. Maybe this person has experienced something in the past, so he has another choice in his heart. He said, "Thank you teacher for reminding me, I will." Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Instructor Wu smiled at this time and said, "Chen classmate, why don't you drink tea?" Chen Chuan said, "It's still a bit hot, let it cool down for a while." "Chen classmate should rarely drink tea before, right? If you drink it often, you will know that tea should be drunk a little hotter." Chen Chuan said, "Personal habit." Instructor Wu smiled again, and said with disappointment, "Chen classmate, I can't help but talk too much when you come over. Maybe it's a problem left over from teaching students in the past. I always like to preach and chat with students . It seems that this problem cannot be changed." Chen Chuan said, "I have read the list Instructor Wu gave me. Teacher , you have had many students, and their evaluations of you are very high. It seems that Instructor Wu has always been a very dedicated teacher , and the students all like you very much." "Those are things of the past." Instructor Wu shook his head with a wry smile, "What's the use of teaching so many students well? Their way out is those. They may die in a gang conflict, leaving behind a younger brother or sister to support, and then their younger brother or sister will continue to walk their old path. Or accidentally break their spine on the ring, and then keep selling their organs to support their remaining parts, until one day the last copy is sold. Or, to think of it in a good way, go to work for a Security guard Company as a Security guard or mercenary, and retire with a body of injuries when he gets old. But because he uses a body of Implants that don't belong to him, he is told that he still owes the Company a sum of money. Well, at least he still has some residual value at that time." He sighed and said, "It is difficult for them to have any future." Chen Chuan said, "So Instructor Wu , your Empty Practice Technique is to change all of this?" Instructor Wu was originally immersed in some kind of emotion. When he heard him mention this, his entire emotion suddenly stopped, as if it had never appeared. He slowly turned around and looked at Chen Chuan , saying, "Yes, but unfortunately I have not been able to completely complete it. I need talented students to verify it, and I need many talented students to verify it." "Instructor Wu has taught so many students , isn't it enough?" Instructor Wu said regretfully, "I have tried it. Most people are ordinary people. After all, talented people are rare. I have only encountered three so far, but they are all stuck in the last step. So far, no one has been able to cross that step and perfect this Skills." After Chen Chuan heard this, he said, "I have read the materials that Instructor Wu sent me. Those Skills can be used to stimulate the brain and nerves. It may be difficult for ordinary people to do it. But if they are not naturally talented people, especially students with unstable foundations, once they cannot restrain themselves, they may rob normal physiological functions. Instructor Wu , you are a teacher , you should be clear about it, right?" "Yes." Instructor Wu nodded and said, "I know." Chen Chuan looked at him: "How are those students now?" Instructor Wu "s eyes showed a strange light. He looked behind Chen Chuan and said with emotion, "They are in the cabinet behind you. They have been with me there all the time. They are all my good students. I will not abandon them. They will follow me until they witness my success." He looked at Chen Chuan , "I can feel that the last step is not far away. I originally wanted to find Chen student. You can come to Central City here as a civilian student . Your talent is undoubtedly very outstanding, and your foundation seems to be very solid. As long as you agree, you can complete all of this." A trace of a smile appeared on his face, "But tell me, why are you unwilling?" Chen Chuan said, "I am very curious, if I don't agree, how will Instructor Wu let me complete this step?" Instructor Wu smiled and said, "Chen classmate, although you are unwilling, your brain is there. I only need your brain. By maintaining its activity through some specific equipment and Drugs and carrying out specific stimulation, we can find the correct path by establishing a simulation observation." "Equipment?" Chen Chuan stared at him, "So Instructor Wu , behind your project, there is also the support of the Company… or someone from the school?" Instructor Wu "s eyes turned cold: "This has nothing to do with Chen student. You just need to make a contribution." Chen Chuan said sincerely, "I feel that it was right to refuse at the beginning. How can we improve Skills with worms like you?" The muscles on Instructor Wu "s face twitched and trembled, suddenly becoming abnormally ferocious. The bones on his body made a creaking sound, the floor under his feet trembled slightly, and the chandelier on the top was also shaking, becoming flickering and dim. Chen Chuan ignored the danger emanating from him, slowly raised the Snow Emperor Blade, stared at him and said, "Now, I need to trouble Instructor Wu to guide my Martial CombatSkills." As he said, with a gentle flick of his thumb, the scabbard flew to one side and stuck on the wall with a thud, while the room revealed a snow-bright cold light.
