There's something wrong with me

Chapter 63 New World [Practice] (4.7K)

[Resurrection Chance: 2]

[Adventure Level: 2]

【Genre：Survival, Exploration】

[Main Story: Survive for 1 Years]

[Identity: Non-staff Consultant]

[Non-essential task: Finding the 'Guest']

[Note: Every fifteen days of survival, you will receive one enhancement option, up to a maximum of 21 times]

……

Open your eyes.

This is an old room.

Light was shining from the ceiling, and in front of me was a desk and an old-fashioned iron teacup.

There were two other people in the house, both police officers.

They were discussing something in a low voice, and seemed to be waiting for him.

Zhang Feng began to recall his memories and realized that he was a "little private detective" and one of the assistant staff of the local police station.

It’s not that he was arrested at the beginning.

Not only that, I also have experience in collecting physical evidence in my memory.

There is some fighting, but not much.

However, for Zhang Feng, as long as he has some muscle memory, he can quickly stretch his muscles and bones and adapt his body to some boxing and kicking routines.

At the same time, Zhang Feng looked at his own attributes.

【Age: 35】

[Physique: 12]

【Root bone: 1.7】

[Martial Arts: 2.5]

Because of the blessing of "Born with Talent" and "Fifty Strings", the characters' starting talents are not low.

But if you exclude talent, his physique is only 0.7 and his martial arts is 1.

"What did they come to see me for?" Zhang Feng looked at the two police officers again. Although he knew their names and had some work dealings with them, he did not know them well.

But I don't know what they came here to do specifically.

So, taking advantage of the 'blank period' before the game started, Zhang Feng did not delay and quickly began to look at the first enhancement based on his own attributes, current environment and memory.

【1: Practice it yourself】

【2: Career Ambition】

[3: Dangerous Game (Blinding)]

Zhang Feng took a quick look and first looked at 1.

[Practice: Common, Rare, Appears at the Start, Exclusive to Investigators]

【Note 1: Assisting in the investigation of a major case】

[Note 2: Enhancement effects cannot be stacked. For example, if you assist in two or more cases, the enhancement effect will still be counted as one case.]

[Effect 1: When you assist in a case, every month, your Physical Fitness will increase by 0.5, and your Martial Arts Skills will increase by 0.1. Even after solving the case, these attributes will continue to be effective.]

[Effect 2: This enhancement effect lasts for a total of 12 months]

[Effect 3: Six months after you assist with a case, or six months after you solve a case, you will receive an additional enhancement option.]

After reading the introduction, Zhang Feng felt that this was a growth-oriented project.

Finish reading it.

Zhang Feng looked at 2
[Ambition: Common, Rare, Career, Appears at the start]

[Note: After selecting this option, your main quest will be changed to 'Get rid of your detective identity and join the police force within one year', and your optional quest will be changed to 'Personally solve five cases'.]

[Effect 1: Every time you solve a case, you gain +1 in physical fitness and +0.2 in root strength]

[Effect 2: After all cases are solved, you will receive an additional enhancement option]

Effect 3: After completing the main storyline and non-essential quests, Lifespan +5 (years), Bones +1, Martial Arts +0.5

This is good, the talent reward after completion is higher than 1.

But it belongs to the landing of career line.

Zhang Feng currently wants freedom and doesn't really want to leave. He feels that it is not as good as the "assistance" of 1.

'Perhaps one day when you feel tired or can't find new paths or insights, you can experience the "life mode" of the adventure world.

If you don't practice cultivation or fight, you can just plant flowers, cultivate land, build a small house, live a carefree life, and watch the world go by. This is also a kind of cultivation.

While thinking, Zhang Feng looked at the familiar dangerous game.

[Effect: 24-hour blindness, Constitution +1.2 after the end, and an additional enhancement]

There are more attributes than before.

It's just blinding, and it doesn't have many attributes, so forget it.

Zhang Feng finished scanning and finally chose 1
After assisting in a major case, 0.5 physical and 0.1 martial arts per month.

At the same time, Zhang Feng looked at the second enhancement.

[1: Constitution +0.3]

[2: Martial Arts +0.1]

【3: Digestion and absorption +30g】

The normal amount of food a person eats is 250 to 400 grams.

This body is a bit thin, but let's just calculate it as 400.

30 grams is an increase of one-tenth.

0.1 martial arts, for a talent of 2.5, is only a one twenty-fifth improvement.

Both are development-related, and they complement each other.

Zhang Feng chooses 3 and increases his own base first.

This body is too thin.

Then quickly look at the third enhancement.

[1: Weird Apple]

[2: Constitution +0.3]

【3: Ordinary nutritional drinks】

Zhang Feng glanced at 1
Weird Apple: Normal

[Effect: After consumption, the physical fitness will increase by 0.7 and the chance of constipation will be reduced within one month]

Select 1.

Suddenly there was an apple on the table.

The two police officers who were chatting not far away didn't notice it either.

Zhang Feng picked it up and ate it in a few bites.

Maybe the eating sounds were a bit loud.

A police officer in the distance looked over and said with a smile, "Lao Zhang, I saw you were lost in thought just now, and I was embarrassed to disturb you."

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and passed it to Zhang Feng.

"We're on shift, so we decided to have a midnight snack with you. It's already 11pm. When do you get off work?"

After finishing his cigarette, he lit it and sat on the sofa in the room.

The other person also started to arrange the chess pieces in a familiar manner.

It seems that Zhang Fengruo is still busy.

The two of them prepared to play two games first.

When Zhang Feng saw this scene, he understood that these two friends must have nothing to do and wanted to have dinner with him. No wonder they were not in a hurry.

"Okay, you arrange it." Zhang Feng also responded, wanting to see how the game would start next.

As he spoke, Zhang Feng stood up cautiously and looked out the window to see if it would be the beginning of a natural disaster.

This way, I wouldn't have to relax and have tea and play chess with the other two of them when a dump truck suddenly crashed into me.

This is a store on the first floor.

"Old Zhang, what are you looking at?" The police officer was worthy of being from the criminal investigation team. When he saw Zhang Feng sticking to the window, he knew what Zhang Feng was looking at.

"It's okay, let's take a look at the night view." Zhang Feng replied while looking out onto the street.

But before Zhang Feng could think about it for a few seconds.

Beep, the police officer's cell phone rang.

He answered the call, chatted with the other party for a few words, and then said to Zhang Feng: "Sorry, Lao Zhang, I won't have dinner tonight. I have something to do."

"What's going on?" another person asked the police officer. "About the team?"

"Yes." The police officer nodded, "There's a murder in the western suburbs."

"Let's call Lao Zhang." Another person stood up and said, "Lao Zhang can be considered a colleague in our team. He is a master in our city's investigation industry."

When handling official cases, people in professional fields can be hired, provided that they ensure relevant confidentiality.

In particular, Zhang Feng had assisted them many times and was jokingly called "half a colleague" by their department.

……

Woohoo—the police car was driving on the way to the crime scene.

The police officer was driving, and the other had just been on duty for a day and was currently napping in the back seat.

Zhang Feng was sitting in the passenger seat when he saw someone throwing newspapers on the street. The newspapers were picked up by the wind and stuck to the window for a few seconds.

The date is 2003.

Whoosh, the newspaper was carried away by the wind again.

The scene in the distance was revealed, which was a factory surrounded by a cordon.

"We're here, wake up."

The police officer driving the car parked outside the cordon while shouting for help.

At this moment, it was almost midnight, and there were still quite a few people watching the fun, as well as some media personnel trying to squeeze in.

"what happened?"

"Excuse me, what happened here?"

"Hello, hello, can you tell me more?"

There was a lot of noise and a lot of people outside the cordon.

But more people here are factory workers who gather here, waiting for the latest news.

Because after their boss died, they didn’t know whether they would be able to start work the next day.

However, some people smiled.

"He should have died long ago. He's been holding back his salary for so long, this is karma!"

"It would be nice if he died, but what about his salary?"

"I heard he harmed Sister Lin's daughter a few days ago. People like him deserve to die! He must have been afraid the police would catch him, so he committed suicide first!"

"Even if he doesn't commit suicide, I'm going to break his legs! I'm seeking justice for my master's daughter!"

There are many people around here who curse the boss.

Some people even had weapons in their hands. It seemed that even if the boss didn't die, he would at least be beaten today.

"Hello, can you tell me in detail?" This also made several media personnel shift their guns and aim at these daring and powerful people.

At the same time, in the car.

After Zhang Feng got off the car, he saw a group of people surrounding him.

"Make way, everyone!"

After the two police officers got out of the car, they politely began to disperse the crowd. Although it was useless and people would still gather, at least they made way for them.

"Comrade police officer, let me ask you something..."

"How's it going inside?"

Zhang Feng followed the two of them through the crowd, and the most common voices he heard were "How is the case going? How is the situation going?"

The two police officers walked straight inside without saying much.

Zhang Feng also ignored the people around him who were curious and came into the factory.

Kaka—

There are many people collecting evidence here at the moment, and behind a machine in the corner of the factory, there is a very strange corpse.

What was strange was that there was a wooden sword stuck in his chest, and there were Taoist talismans next to the body, as well as some deliberately placed incense ashes and incense burners.

At the same time, a police officer came over and told Zhang Feng and the other two the general information about the deceased.

"The deceased's name is You Shouzhao, a 45-year-old male, the owner of this machinery factory. Based on the state of his body and blood coagulation, the current estimated time of death is an hour ago.

At that time, the factory had already closed for the day and the staff on duty had been kicked out by him.

I heard from many people outside that there were people waiting for him outside the factory. He didn't dare to go out, nor did he dare to leave anyone on duty, fearing that these people would secretly open the door?

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Feng again, "Why did you let Lao Zhang come? This scene is a bit weird... Can he accept it?"

Zhang Feng usually assists people who seem to be intact, or are normal criminals.

But this person's death was a bit strange. There was a sword stuck in his open chest, and the things placed nearby gave people a huge psychological discomfort.

Many of the officers here have vomited once or twice.

Only some veteran police officers could still bear it, but they also felt psychologically uncomfortable.

"Ugh..." When the two police officers who brought Zhang Feng over got closer, they felt nauseous when they saw the corpse and ran to the side to vomit.

Zhang Feng also frowned, feeling a bit nauseous.

At first, Zhang Feng also thought it was normal, after all, the corpse was too weird.

But later, Zhang Feng sniffed the air and suddenly felt something was wrong.

'There was no other smell in the air except for the smell of nearby machine oil and blood, but there was burnt incense ash and some burnt talisman paper, which should have some kind of sandalwood scent or burning smell.

Besides, I've seen a lot, so why would I be disgusted by a corpse with a strange death appearance?'

Zhang Feng thought for a few seconds and quickly found the answer to the question. He suppressed his nausea and spoke in the quiet environment where everyone was collecting evidence and observing:
"There is a scent of black dust in the air. It grows in tropical primeval forests and is odorless and non-toxic.

But if you are next to a corpse, the visual and psychological impact, as well as the medicinal properties of the black dust incense, will make people feel nauseous and vomit, and unable to concentrate.

The solution is to crush white apricots, soak them in water, and apply them to your mouth and nose. This medicine can help.”

When Zhang Feng said this, he couldn't help the surging feelings in his heart, so he used his left ring finger and index finger to point at an inch below his left shoulder.

This is also a solution, equivalent to calling the gods with "pain", but Zhang Feng can't click on it for everyone.

When everyone present heard the "ordinary detective" Zhang Feng suddenly say so many professional terms, they were suspicious at first, and then looked at a middle-aged man next to the corpse.

He is the captain of the criminal police.

"Captain Wang? Us?" someone among the police officers asked.

"How does he know so much? He usually collects evidence in silence." Captain Wang looked at Zhang Feng curiously before turning to the others.

"Go, send two people out to see which pharmacy is still open, or go to the nearest hospital and buy those... white... white apricots. Really, my mind is foggy and I almost forgot what you just said."

"Normal." Zhang Feng replied casually, then began to look at the corpse.

"You..." Captain Wang saw Zhang Feng coming and actually wanted to stop him, but he thought of Zhang Feng's previous "professional calming" behavior.

He thought about it and decided to give up.

"What else can you see?" Captain Wang was now dizzy and had no idea what to do, so he turned to Zhang Feng and asked.

Zhang Feng ignored it and looked at the body first. He saw that the wooden sword was pierced into his heart, and his chest was also thrown open, with a piece of his heart missing.

Zhang Feng glanced again and looked at some unburned talisman papers next to him.

They are arranged into a star shape, and the talisman paper is mostly covered with some cultivation terms.

"What is this? The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, and also in small seal script?" Zhang Feng, studying meridians and medicinal materials, had read many books on Chinese medicine and Taoism in various worlds.

However, he could understand these terms and Qin Dynasty small seal script, and knew that this was a kind of Taoist secret technique.

Basically, it means "borrowing" popularity, "borrowing" living beings, and "borrowing" other people's lives to practice.

But in reality, this 'murderer' can't borrow anything.

Because the enhanced choice has already told Zhang Feng the final answer, this world has no spirits.

If one can practice cultivation, then the initial development attributes must include options such as spiritual roots.

Then after eliminating the impossible.

This person is very likely to use these strange methods to pretend to be a Taoist messenger and then clear out the evil people in the world.

Or, he has cultivated to the point of becoming possessed by demons.

Just a few minutes, and detective memory.

Zhang Feng used the convenience of "enhanced selection" to quickly sort out all his ideas.

At the same time, when Zhang Feng's eyes moved away from the corpse.

Captain Wang suppressed his nausea and asked Zhang Feng, "Brother Zhang...how are you?"

"What did Lao Zhang find?" The team member who was driving also came over.

"Zhang, tell me." The others also looked at him from afar because Zhang Feng had revealed the "disgusting" thing in one word.

"I almost know the murderer's motive." Zhang Feng sorted out his thoughts and said to them:
"It's just a little more complicated, it has to do with the Five Elements and Taoist Qi."

"What does this have to do with it?" They felt strange, but when they looked at the talisman papers all over the floor, they didn't find it strange.

So they looked at Zhang Feng with even more curiosity, wanting to know what this had to do with the Five Elements.

Zhang Feng pointed to the heart of the corpse before saying, "The wooden sword belongs to wood, and the heart belongs to fire.

According to the five elements.

Wood produces fire. The sword is inserted here and then taken away from the heart, which means a "fire element" is obtained.

The five internal organs in the chest are guarded by the five emperors of blue, red, yellow, white and black.

The two energies of Chidi and Bingding Fire Virtue are fire corresponding to the heart.

The Green Emperor receives the three energies of the wood virtues of Jia and Yi, and corresponds to the liver, which is wood.

Baidi, the four qi of Geng, Xin and metal, lungs and metal.

The Black Emperor is the Qi of the water virtues of Ren and Gui, kidney and water.

Huangdi, the five elements of the earth virtue of Wu and Ji, spleen and earth.

Among them, the four Qi of the metal virtue and the one Qi of the water virtue make five, the three Qi of the wood virtue and the two Qi of the fire virtue make five, and the Yellow Emperor has his own five Qi.

Zhang Feng finished speaking and looked at the stunned crowd, "The murderer wanted to take the five energies of the five internal organs, merge them together, and form the Taoist Five Qis Returning to the Origin.

The Five Qis Converge to the Origin, as the older generation of cultivators called it, once you have gathered the Five Qis to the Origin, you will no longer be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation. One more step will take you out of the Three Realms."

"How bizarre." Captain Wang's scalp tingled as he listened, and he shook his head. "The more you talk, the more mysterious it becomes. I'm getting more and more confused."

"That's right." Zhang Feng nodded, "Because this person wants to use Qi to become an 'immortal' and transcend the Five Elements."
