mysterious forerunner

Chapter 381 Hunting Net Plan

The University of International Business and Economics is planned to consist of a main campus and several branch campuses.

The farthest branch campus is located near a scientific research station in Antarctica.

The reason for this arrangement is that different professionals have different abilities, and certain special environments have an excellent auxiliary development effect on their abilities.

The main campus is located in the safer territory of Etania and covers a vast area, even larger than most cities in the country.

Branch campuses are also arranged as close as possible.

But the Wilhelmsf campus is located in the neighboring country of Zunathal.

Named after the volcano Wilhelmshaven.

The purpose of establishing this branch campus is the same as that of the Antarctic campus.

This volcano has been very active in recent years. There was a large-scale eruption thirteen years ago, and seven eruptions of varying sizes in the past five years. Black smoke is usually seen coming out of the crater.

……

He Xu received a domestic video conference call, and when he answered the call, he saw that the "Big Three" were sitting opposite him!
Mr. Bai and Director Zhang are both here.

In comparison, He Jiliang seems unremarkable.

"What's the big deal?"

He Jiliang told the story, and then said: "Luo Yuanhui went to find you, he must have other purposes."

Zhang Qingxiang continued, "They are worried that you are too straightforward and will be exposed when fighting against an old fox like Luo Yuanhui."

He Xu laughed and tilted his head: "It's just a show, just watch it."

Zhang Qingxiang spread his hands. He trusted He Xu very much.

If you really think that He Xu is a straightforward and cunning person, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later.

Luo Yuanhui acted quickly. After Zhang Qingxiang's conference call ended, Luo Yuanhui arrived that evening.

But this old fox is really patient.

He cooperated with He Xu in the construction of Etania, and even said to He Xu: "We need more [architects]."

The engineering capabilities here in North Africa are just terrible.

All kinds of large-scale engineering equipment need to be shipped from China, and the delivery process is too long.

He Xu used his family connections to find the Huaguoda Construction Group that was involved in construction in North Africa and South Africa, as well as some mines, and borrowed some equipment.

However, the quantity is limited and the project progress is seriously delayed.

And [architects] can solve this problem.

Luo Yuanhui said: "There are many [Architects] in North America. I will try to get them from the Mysterious Bureau."

He didn't lie. The three most common professions in North America are: gunfighters, lawyers, and architects.

It’s just that a large portion of [architects] in North America are actually illegal immigrants from South America.

Of course, after becoming professionals, they all obtained legal status.

So three days later, fifty [Architects] arrived in Etania.

Luo Yuanhui took credit: "There will be another 250 [architects] who will be in place within a month."

He Xu deliberately gave Luo Yuanhui a "knowing" look, and then the two of them burst into laughter.

Originally, the construction of the University of Nations focused on the main campus.

The construction of other branch campuses will start after the main campus is completed.

But now with these [architects], we can break ground at the same time.

Then, something unexpected happened.

The architect in charge of the construction of the Wilhelmsf campus often came to He Xu to complain. Today, there was not enough material. Tomorrow, the geological structure was too complicated. The day after tomorrow, there was a landslide.

Various problems have arisen in the construction of this campus.

Just as Luo Yuanhui expected, He Xu appeared to be in a state of being overwhelmed and annoyed.

So Luo Yuanhui took the opportunity to suggest that I go to the Vilru campus in person to help the principal share his worries.

He Xu laughed secretly in his heart, you traitor, your map of Yan State is a bit long.

Then he agreed to the advice readily.

……

Almost at the same time, Zhang Qingxiang received information from "Benita".

The reason why Luo Yuanhui is responsible for the construction of the Wilhelm Campus is because Courtney, a senior agent of the mysterious agency, "saw" that in the future, under this crater, fire-breathing dragons will be continuously bred!

Courtney is a fortune teller and possesses a powerful professional secret.

When he was in Southeast Asia, he relied on this ability to find the [Divine Corpse].

Essentially, this Wilrenf volcano is also a [secret realm]. It is just an "exclusive" secret realm that can only produce secret spirits.

The fire-breathing dragon is very powerful, and can improve along with its master.

Luo Yuanhui believed that with his hard work, the relevant personnel would be replaced by North Americans, and then they would keep He Xu strictly confidential.

The secret spirits that originally belonged to the Academy of All Nations will now all belong to the North Americans!
This is only the first step of his plan.

As their mutual trust deepens, he will find ways to extort more valuable intelligence from China.

In fact, Luo Yuanhui didn't understand why the country thousands of miles away was so innocent? Seeing that everyone had the same skin color, they naturally trusted each other more?
It is true that my ancestors are Chinese, so I must be loyal to China?!
It's ridiculous.

It never occurred to them that I might be ashamed of it!
They deserve to be stepping stones for me to climb up.

Architects from North America arrived in batches. He Xu would look through the list and occasionally, when he was in a good mood or had some free time, he would go to meet these people.

The construction of the Wilhelmsf campus was entirely handed over to Luo Yuanhui for management, but the person in charge of the project was still a guy named Redu from the earliest batch of architects.

He is at level 4, and as the construction of the community progresses, he is striving to reach level 5.

The North American Mystery Bureau did not know that Redu had a very active account on [Mysterious Pioneer].

He admired everything about China very much, and even took the initiative to post on [Mysterious Pioneer] to find a Chinese teacher.

Among the descendants of the Chinese, there are banana people like Luo Yuanhui, and among the natives of North America, there are white-skinned people with a red heart like Lei Du.

Zhang Qingxiang vigorously promoted the benefits of [Mysterious Pioneer], which was inadvertently demonstrated once again.

Because this is a purely Chinese app, North America does not have any relevant data.

The Secret Security Bureau was able to accurately find Redu through background data.

Then Lei Du became an undercover agent beside Luo Yuanhui.

In addition to Lei Du, the Secret Security Bureau also screened the [Architects] who arrived later through background data.

If there are people who have good intentions towards China, He Xu will come forward to meet them when they arrive.

Then observe secretly and decide whether to develop it into a hidden line.

So there is not only one "Lei Du" around Luo Yuanhui.

Zhang Qingxiang had been keeping an eye on He Xu and soon felt relieved.

The affairs of the Wan Guo Academy were thus completely handed over to the He family.

Zhang Qingxiang also returned to his hometown from the capital.

The reason why Zhang Qingxiang did not go to Base 184 was because he needed to calm down and seriously plan his "path to becoming a god"!
But as soon as he returned to Yuan City, he received another piece of information urgently sent back by "Benita":
"The Secret Service and the Pentagon have teamed up to develop a [Hunting Net] plan."

"This is a hunt specifically targeting you!"

"The plan is directed by Riddick Bowe himself, and the executors are elite professionals from the Pentagon. No one else is allowed to interfere."

"Please be careful!"

Zhang Qingxiang sneered, put the information aside, and told "Benita": Don't take the risk of spying on this kind of information again.

……

Zhang Qingxiang knew very well that the North American side wanted to kill him.

The last time I ran to the doorsteps of North Americans, I taught them a lesson, making them understand that in the mysterious age, thermal weapons are completely obsolete.

Given the vengeful nature of North Americans, how could they not retaliate?
But North Americans have always bullied the weak and feared the strong. If they are not sure, they can only remain at the stage of "holding a grudge" on this matter.

What's going on lately?
After getting the [Divine Corpse] and controlling the Wilhelm Volcano, they think they are capable again?

Zhang Qingxiang pondered for a moment and felt that there must be other reasons.

After all, it will take some time for those two to be transformed into combat power.

……

Courtney is a "capable player" discovered by Riddick Bowe himself.

She was originally the owner of a small fortune-telling shop on a small street in New York.

After the mysterious arrival, she unexpectedly became a professional. And a gypsy amethyst pendant that was said to have been brought from Europe by her "grandmother's grandmother" two hundred years ago also became a powerful secret object.

Then her divination became accurate.

Riddick Bowe's wife heard her name and turned to her for help to divine clues about her husband's infidelity.

Then, using this clue, she successfully caught her husband's mistress.

Riddick Bowe's wife weighed over 200 pounds, and she brought along their daughter, a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl who also weighed over 200 pounds.

The poor mistress was beaten so badly.

No wonder Dick Bowe could become the director. If others encountered such a thing, they would definitely beg for mercy from their wives in a humble manner, or divorce their wives in anger and get married with the mistress.

But Riddick Bowe analyzed the situation carefully and concluded that "what I did was perfect" and "how did this crazy woman find us?"
As a result, Courtney was found.

Riddick Bowe personally came to recruit Courtney, and she was honored to join the mysterious bureau.

The two incidents of the divine corpse and the volcano of Wilhelm made Riddick Bowe more confident in Courtney. During this period, the most trusted person in the mysterious bureau was replaced by Courtney from Benita.

In the past, Benita could enter the director's office without knocking, which was a privilege for the director's confidants.

But recently that privilege has shifted to Courtney.

The last time Benita entered the director's office without knocking, she was scolded and kicked out by the furious Riddick Bowe.

Benita endured it silently and didn't tell anyone. When she went in, Courtney was sitting astride the director's waist, her clothes in disarray.

Just as Zhang Qingxiang guessed, Riddick Bowe has never forgotten "the shame that Zhang from China left us"!
So Riddick Bowe ordered Courtney: "Divination Zhang, I need to know if we have a chance to execute him!"

Courtney did some divination.

"I saw him..." Her voice was erratic, like a white balloon in the wind.

The next sentence made Riddick Bowe ecstatic: "He's dead."

"He fell among a pile of strange bones, his body pierced by a long sword!"

Courtney stared at the amethyst secret object, and her eyeballs gradually turned the same purple as the crystal, and her pupils and eyeballs became the same color, indistinguishable from each other.

Her left hand unconsciously raised up and she quickly drew a scene on the paper with the brush.

This is what she "saw", the scene of Zhang Qingxiang's death.

Huge factory buildings, thick pipes, and water towers several stories high.

In an open space in the middle, there were dozens of monsters with human bodies and snake heads lying. Some of them had their heads and bodies separated, some had broken arms and legs, and they had all turned into cold corpses.

Zhang Qingxiang was in the middle. A strange thin sword that was two meters long pierced his left chest and nailed him to the ground.

Riddick Bowe grabbed the painting, his fingers trembling with excitement. After Courtney finished this "divination", she collapsed on the sofa in exhaustion.

Riddick Bowe asked, "How sure are you about this divination?"

Courtney rolled her eyes at him coquettishly: "Has my previous divination ever been inaccurate?"

"Hahahaha!" Riddick Bowe laughed.

So this [Hunting Net Plan] came into being.

He no longer had much confidence in his own mysterious bureau, and also because he had no agents under his command who were capable of participating in this plan.

So he turned to working with the Pentagon.

The Pentagon's supercomputers, across the globe, searched for the topography in Courtney's painting.

North American satellites are taking pictures all over the world. They may not be able to capture confidential places in some major countries, but the scene in this painting is obviously not a confidential place.

So the results came out soon.

There are eleven similar places around the world.

There are three in China.

And one of them is right in Yuan City.

Riddick Bowe immediately ordered the professionals under the Pentagon: "Leave to China immediately and guard here."

"Open our [hunting net], I need to make sure Zhang Qingxiang is dead!"

The Pentagon already has eighth-level professionals under its command.

Some of their laboratories are even crazier than the Mystery Bureau!

……

Zhang Qing didn't care about this so-called [Hunting Net Plan].

At this time, Zhang Qingxiang had this confidence: before the [Secret World] overlapped with the Earth World, nothing on this planet could threaten his life!
At this stage, on earth, I have no rivals!

Zhang Qingxiang is still seriously planning his path to becoming a god.

Internally speaking, the two most basic points to becoming a true god are that one must have accumulated enough mysterious energy.

Zhang Qingxiang is still far from enough now.

But there is no need to worry, because there are many secret objects, such as the [Mirror of Life and Death], etc., which can slowly accumulate enough mysterious energy.

This is a slow process and cannot be rushed.

Another point is that the "pawnshop" visualized in the process of "dream-making" integrating the source material needs to be transformed into a "god's chamber".

After officially becoming a [True God], the God's Chamber will expand into the "God's Domain".

"Shenshi" is where the primordial spirit resides.

The "primordial spirit" here is actually borrowed from the Taoist concept. In Zhang Qingxiang's view, it is an infinitely powerful soul.

Or maybe...an infinitely strong sense of self.

At this time, Zhang Qingxiang, in the early days of his tenure, continued to integrate more and higher-level source materials, and the benefits began to show.

The "pawnshop" that one visualizes becomes very complete, real and solid from the very beginning because more source objects are integrated into it.

Zhang Qingxiang needs to keep visualizing and keep shaping.

Until he was able to fully project and materialize this pawnshop in the real world - the pawnshop was transformed into a shrine.

This is actually also a process of constantly strengthening and cultivating one's own will.

In the previous life, very little information was circulated regarding this kind of practice.

It’s not that the true gods are cherishing their own things, but because there are so few people discussing it and there is not much market for it.

After all, there are very few professionals who can cultivate to this level.

Zhang Qingxiang remembered that on one occasion, Guan Xuanbai gave a report to the General Administration of the Secret Security Bureau, which could also be called an "open class", talking about the practice method of this step.

Guan Xuanbai’s method is to continue the “dream-making method”.

Repeatedly use the "dream-making method" and source objects to visualize a new pawn shop.

Then stack the new one on top of the old one.

Or it can be understood that the new is used as building material to continuously reinforce the old.

In addition, Zhang Qingxiang still remembered that Olga, the [Ice Queen] of Mao Xiong, once said in an interview: "Build a shrine?"

"What's so difficult?"

"My method? My method is very simple. I seal all my abilities and only use my mental power in all the following battles."

"It took me a year and a half, and I went through about seventy battles, to train my mental strength to be extremely strong, and the God's Chamber was completed naturally."

"If your qualifications are lower...it might take three to five years?"

"Hold on, as long as you don't die, you will succeed!"

Zhang Qingcheng immediately felt that what the God of Death said made sense!

As long as you don't die, you can succeed! How to refute?

Zhang Qingxiang thinks that the two can be combined to achieve a two-pronged approach.

Zhang Qingxiang re-imagined a "pawnshop" and found out... it seemed different from what Xiaoguan said.

The new visualized “pawn shop” is better than the old one!

Zhang Qingxiang pondered for a moment and suddenly realized: "When I first visualized the pawnshop, no matter how hard I tried, my strength at that time was too weak, and there were always many imperfections."

“This new one is far superior to the previous one in terms of details and solidity.”

Moreover, the previous one still had a somewhat "old" feel because it had been there for a long time.

Zhang Qingxiang touched his chin, trying to use the "old" as building materials and integrate it into the "new".

Even if he failed, Zhang Qingxiang would not be discouraged.

During this period, Zhang Qingxiang still has a lot of time and can try more.

And an important reason that supported Zhang Qingxiang in doing so was that all the [True Gods] in the previous life acknowledged that each path to becoming a god was different.

Before becoming a True God, there were fixed modes and methods of cultivation. After becoming a True God, one must explore the most suitable method for oneself according to one's own characteristics.

This fusion of Zhang Qingxiang took a full thirty hours.

He remained in seclusion and refused to come out, which even alarmed Zhang Ruiqian and Mr. Guo.

When Zhang Qingxiang walked out of the room, he saw a bunch of people waiting outside and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Dad secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he looked angry: "If you want to go into seclusion in the future, tell everyone."

"You are already a director now, and I am always worried about you!"

Then the old director patted his butt and left.

Zhang Qingxiang waved his hand to let everyone disperse, and took Mr. Guo to have tea.

Now Tian Mingkun and his team have become independent and have to take turns to be in charge of Base 184; the main force in the Municipal Bureau has been replaced by Shi Fangjie's group.

After this experience, Zhang Qingxiang initially determined that his method was feasible.

So over the next period of time, the pawnshop was continuously rebuilt.

Replace the old with the new.

Zhang Qingxiang participates in the night duty every day.

When Shi Fangjie first heard this request, he felt extremely ashamed.

I thought the director was worried about me.

When Brother Tian and the others were there, the director had long since stopped caring about these specific matters.

Zhang Qingxiang had no choice but to explain to him: "Don't bother me, I have other secret plans."

"Leave me a mysterious scene every night, and don't film anyone following me."

Shi Fangjie agreed with a confused look on his face.

That night, Zhang Qingxiang went to deal with a medium-sized mysterious scene. Shi Fangjie drove him there alone and waited outside.

Then Shi Fangjie believed what the director said.

With the director's ability, such a "small scene" should be resolved in ten minutes or so.

But it took Director Zhang two and a half hours to walk out.

Moreover, his clothes were torn in several places, making him look a little disheveled.

Zhang Qingxiang got in the car and said, "Go back."

He didn't explain anything, and Shi Fangjie kept his mouth shut and didn't ask any more questions.

Zhang Qingxiang followed Olga's example and fought only with his mental strength.

The first scene was indeed very unfamiliar.

But after slowly adapting, I was able to handle the fourth mysterious scene with ease.

However, this was not the result Zhang Qingxiang wanted, because this ease was more due to the improvement of his skills in using mental power.

Mental strength itself does not increase much.

So Zhang Qingxiang gave up using these techniques.

At this moment, the medium-sized mysterious scene became the dumbbells used in fitness for Zhang Qingxiang.

After Zhang Qing got used to the strength of the medium-sized one, he switched to the large one.

With these two approaches, Zhang Qingxiang felt that his mental power was growing rapidly.

But there is still a long way to go before "pawnshops" can become a reality in the real world.

Zhang Qingxiang couldn't help but sigh: "The path to becoming a true god is indeed difficult."

"In her previous life, Olga was also a genius, and she was a gifted genius with great luck. It took her a year and a half."

“I estimate it will take at least a year.”

……

The six professionals from the North American [Hunting Net Plan] have all arrived in Yuan City.

It took two days to find the scene in the painting.

This is an abandoned factory located in the old city.

There is already a demolition plan, but the funds have not yet been in place. Because of the circle of guardrails outside, people are not allowed to enter or leave freely.

They found a hotel nearby whose windows faced the factory.

After waiting for a week, Zhang Qingxiang still did not show up.

Their passports are about to expire, and if they stay any longer it is likely to attract the attention of China.

They had no choice but to go back, and the Pentagon arranged a new batch of professionals to replace them.

The new group of six people moved to a new hotel and discovered that night that there were some sneaky guys who always sneaked into the factory in the middle of the night and then slipped out from different places when it was almost dawn.

These people seemed to be very familiar with the factory security. Not only did the security guards let them in, but after they entered, they also kept watch for them outside!
