Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 572: The truth in the ordinary

They understood the situation, but they were both confused about what to do.

Even Li Yan, who knew all the details, didn't know what the next step would be.

Not to mention Wei Yunzhi?

However, the little beauty did not seem to be too distressed by this, instead she was very excited.

Being able to contribute ideas to the cause of "superhumanity" is an experience I would never dare to imagine in my next life.

Li Yan didn't say anything, but she set a lot of rules for herself. For example, this topic can only be discussed as a secret when they are alone at home. For example, when she puts forward a guess, any action of Li Yan is considered "probably right" and any reaction is considered "extremely wrong"...

It's totally like playing an exploration game.

It is now the end of the summer vacation of 2019. The college graduates this year have finished celebrating and traveling, and most of them have started looking for jobs, whether early or late.

Start the super transformation of life - transform into an ox or a horse.

Future Technology recently held a meeting to recruit interns and provide support to outstanding graduates, and Li Yan attended the meeting, which was rare.

It was really a bit touching.

How did he have such a wonderful life? It was just because he was frustrated when looking for a job.

Speaking of which, it’s been less than a year since that hot summer when I was reborn…

It's true, the world has changed so much.

Whenever she has feelings related to time, it would suck Li Yan in like a black hole.

I didn’t expect that now I can remember everything about my past life, but it’s of no use now.

If I still have my memory, I would never have reached my current position by just relying on some clever tricks to make money using information gaps, right?

He had thought before that after the day he traveled back in time in 2020, everything would be completely unfamiliar to him.

As a result, everything became unfamiliar since I arrived in New Taipei.

The time that he had never experienced in his previous life has now changed drastically.

Everything he has done for China is fermenting a special influence, affecting the whole world in all aspects.

I really have a life that I never dreamed of, but I started to suffer because the system couldn't go any further.

People are always like this, never satisfied.

But if Li Yan had even a little bit of contentment in his heart, how could the system be developed to 100%?

"Yan, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah... am I in a trance?"

"You are absolutely amazing to ask such a question. How about the plan I mentioned?" Wei Yunzhi was very proud.

The plan she mentioned was to let Li Yan first list the things he hoped to do in the future, so as to avoid spending all his energy on the internal friction of "divine power exploration" every day - after all, no one can guarantee this thing.

What if you do something else at the same time, maybe you will suddenly take a step forward?

"pretty good."

"Well, come on, I bought a board, write it on it."

"Why are you so cute?" Li Yan smiled.

It’s already this late, and you’re still writing plans by hand?
“This is more of a ritual!”

Li Yan took the pen and wrote "earthquake warning" on it without much hesitation.

"Huh?" This answer was completely beyond Wei Yunzhi's expectations.

She thought it would be something more advanced, or something more "impossible".

For example, the grand unification of physical theories and the Riemann hypothesis that have been mentioned repeatedly before, if we want to consider feasibility, it must be controlled nuclear fusion, right?
"The 08 earthquake had a profound impact on me."

Wei Yunzhi nodded slightly.

"Just talking about China, at least I have stopped the biggest man-made disaster. Perhaps, I can also truly promote the unity of the people of the world." Li Yan said, "I also want to prevent natural disasters."

He didn't explain further.

Because he was reborn, he experienced two major earthquakes that shocked the whole country, one in elementary school when his mind was not yet fully mature, and the other when he was in his twenties.

That feeling of powerlessness has always been engraved in my heart.

"Earthquake early warning is very powerful now," Wei Yunzhi said. "It is very accurate."

"But it is far from enough. If we cannot predict the earthquake in advance and let the people prepare for evacuation, it will be in vain. If we really want to avoid the impact of earthquakes, we need a set of effective corresponding evacuation mechanisms. New materials and new buildings must also be developed simultaneously."

Wei Yunzhi continued to nod.

"The premise of all this is an early warning model that can be used several hours or even one or two days in advance." Li Yan was still a little excited when talking about this. "It takes sensors to be deployed all over the world, extremely high computing power, and powerful artificial intelligence algorithms to achieve this. The amount of data is definitely not something that can be processed by human power."

Wei Yunzhi understood. "So what you mean is that if these things are simply optimized based on the current situation, you can do it, but it is not necessary; if you really want to achieve the ideal effect, you need to surpass the current human technology tree?"

"…How could you interpret this?"

The beautiful girl stuck out her tongue and tapped her head, "Hey, my problem is that I've been thinking too much lately and analyzing everything."

"But you're right."

"Great!"

Li Yan quickly wrote down other familiar projects, including "eternal life".

Wei Yunzhi touched his chin with his hand, not knowing who he was imitating. "I see. If you really want to accomplish these things, you probably need to take your divine power to a higher level."

In fact, Li Yan can't hold back every time she hears the word "divine power".

But there was nothing he could do, he couldn't explain clearly to Wei Yunzhi what it was.

However, this "Sky-drop System"...is actually the same concept as "divine power".

Li Yan also thought about the question "Who provided the system?", but it was obvious that unless the "unit" that provided the system was willing to reveal some information, it would be a complete waste of energy for Li Yan to think about this.

He even thought that it was very irresponsible to treat the person who gave him the system as a "person" for no reason.

So I just don't think about it anymore. Those who have the ability to provide him with a system have not given him any information so far. Of course, if they want to hide it, they can hide it completely.

Moreover, why can't it be me, Li, who has great opportunity and good fortune?
Maybe the entire universe was created by me, Li Yan, and I just erased my memory for fun.

If even this conjecture cannot be falsified, don't bother with it.

"Yan, I was wondering, if we try something else, maybe it will suddenly inspire you? Didn't you say that I'm a 'noble person' and that I have metaphysics?"

"Hush!" Li Yan was anxious. How could he speak out such metaphysical things? It wouldn't work if he spoke out!

Wei Yunzhi quickly covered her mouth.

"For example?" Li Yan asked.

"Try something new?" The girl's eyes began to wander.

"..."

"Just kidding!" Wei Yunzhi's expression immediately turned serious. "Well, for example, how about we live a life you have never experienced before? Go to the countryside to farm, act in a movie, or deliver takeout..."

"Hmm..." Li Yan didn't know how to respond.

"Look, the top masters in those novels and games, when they are stuck in a state of difficulty in advancing, do they always rely on returning to their original nature?"

"With one swing of the hoe, I became a god?"

"...Hehe." Wei Yunzhi scratched her head. "Okay, you don't have to worry too much about this." Li Yan touched her, "It's just as you said, don't let these things consume you, just live your life as you should, and enjoy the experience as you should. I'm not as anxious as before, because this thing can't be rushed."

"Yeah, enlightenment requires opportunity! But I believe in you, because you already have the best opportunity in the entire human race!"

"Hush!" Li Yan was anxious again. How could she talk about chance so openly? It wouldn't work if she talked about it!

The little beauty covered her mouth again.

Please forgive these two for being a little crazy now.

There is no way. When you believe in metaphysics, everything is metaphysics.

Li Yan then experienced the life of a top boss for three months. No matter how hard he tried to convince himself to enjoy life, he couldn't help but say "boring" in the end.

There is no way. All the wealth and glory of mankind can only be enjoyed based on a sense of crisis.

A sense of crisis of possible loss, a sense of crisis that there are people who are better than you.

Just like the question "What troubles will you have if you earn a million dollars a year?"

In the eyes of the vast majority of working-class people, the biggest problem with earning a million dollars a year is the worry of losing money.

When it comes to eating and drinking, a million-dollar annual salary actually gives you basically enough freedom. No matter how delicious the food is, it’s not made every day.

No matter how expensive a wine is, you shouldn't buy it to drink for fun at home - this won't increase your sense of pleasure. The greatest value of a bottle of expensive wine comes when others say, "Wow, this wine!"

But even with an annual salary of one million, just sending your children to school will still present you with difficult decision-making issues.

The only difference is that the decision-making difficulty for ordinary people is whether they can attend a good school in their local area, while their decision-making difficulty is whether they can be sent abroad.

Once people have no spare energy, they will give up some things and find relief.

Ordinary families cannot plan a path for their children, so they naturally avoid these worries.

If you have a million, you must plan. Once you plan, troubles will follow.

Moreover, they have to worry that money is not forever. If the situation changes suddenly one day, can they still maintain such a life? Will they go from extravagance to frugality?

Even those with the highest wealth still have to consider what will happen to their future generations.

Li Yan doesn't need it.

It's not a matter of wealth for him now, it's impossible for the world to fall apart.

He doesn't need to think about what will happen in a few generations. He pursues his own immortality. If he can achieve immortality, why would he care about descendants?

When his goal completely became the outrageous proposition of "exploring the nature of the universe", the satisfaction threshold was set too high.

He was unable to derive any pleasure from his privileged position at the top—of course, this was still a gradual process.

But Li Yan herself didn't expect that the pleasure would disappear so quickly.

As another birthday approaches, even Li Yan herself is troubled——

What the hell kind of gift should I give myself?

On December 2019, 12, Li Yan woke up from bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.

A completely unexpected crisis - a happiness crisis, came unexpectedly.

"Yunzhi," Li Yan got up and saw that breakfast was already on the table. "What are you doing today... huh?"

The girl was actually sitting on the sofa playing games?

"Are you still leveling up?" Li Yan said helplessly.

Ever since Wei Yunzhi suddenly expressed her enthusiasm for completing a very difficult single-player monster-killing game three months ago, she has been throwing herself into the game whenever she has free time, playing it with great enthusiasm and calculation.

A veteran player who forced himself to complete the game.

In her words, it is "to experience the feeling of upgrading from difficulty to perfection."

Obviously, it was to better empathize with Li Yan.

I just didn’t expect to be so involved… I got up early, made breakfast, and then started playing.

Seeing her focused expression, Li Yan smiled and went to brush her teeth.

After brushing his teeth, Li Yan came to the sofa with breakfast, "Have you eaten?"

"Eat it, you eat first."

"Where was it hit?"

"I've already cleared the game at the maximum level. I've defeated all the bosses and monsters three times. I've killed those who tried to stop me ten times!"

What the hell, are you so addicted?

Li Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm checking now to see if there are any treasure chests that haven't been opened or items taken."

"Indeed...very devoted."

"The key is!" Wei Yunzhi looked a little tired. "This gem forging system is almost driving me crazy. I didn't understand it until the late stage of the game. I took a lot of detours. Some things have already been formed and cannot be changed. I simply haven't practiced this account to perfection."

Li Yan frowned, "So now, do you have anything else to play?"

The pretty girl threw the controller onto the sofa and said, "No more... I'm tired. Yan, at least I played it to the point where I couldn't level up any more on your birthday. I can finally understand your state of mind."

Li Yan was somewhat touched.

"Indeed, I've gotten all the items and killed all the monsters several times. This game is no longer difficult at all. I used to be able to move forward with some goals, but now... there are no goals. No, there are actually some."

Li Yan listened with interest and stuffed a small cake into her mouth.

"I've always wanted to kill the final boss in one blow, but no matter how I changed my equipment, stacked it, or played tricks, I just couldn't kill it. I even wrote a program to calculate the theoretical maximum value of my account, and it was just 300 points short. Yan, a boss with 50,000 health, just 300 points short!"

The little beauty sounded gnashing her teeth, but finally she sighed:
"But these 300 points are the insurmountable chasm for me. They are so similar that I even expected this game to have some hidden mechanism or treasure chest. How about it, can I understand your feelings better now?"

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Yan hugged Wei Yunzhi, "You must have vomited from playing this game for a while, right?"

"is a bit."

"Let's play another game."

Wei Yunzhi leaned his head against Li Yan, "Well, I can change the game to play, but you can only play on Earth Online."

"If this is the only game you have to play..." Li Yan asked this question somehow.

"It's okay, I'll open a new account."

Wei Yunzhi suddenly felt Li Yan's whole body stiffen.

"What's the matter?"

"No...no." Li Yan's heartbeat accelerated instantly. Damn it, she thought the secret of reopening was exposed.

It turns out I was too sensitive.

Wait... reopen?

“Actually, if I really want to start over, it’s not impossible.” The beautiful girl said, “After all, I now know exactly how to upgrade the equipment and gem forging systems. I also know where there are monsters and precious treasure chests. First of all, the speed will definitely be much faster. Secondly, I can also upgrade in the most perfect order. I won’t miss a certain item and never have the chance to upgrade again. Hey! Then I can definitely kill the boss in one hit! Hahahaha!”

……

After a brief three-second silence, Wei Yunzhi and Li Yan jumped from the sofa to the middle of the living room, looking at each other with disbelief.

"Reopen?" they both said in unison.
