As a seventh-level star life, Xu Jingming's learning ability is very terrifying. He flipped through the book in his hand. As he flipped through it, he memorized everything with just a glance, and thought about every sentence he saw many times.
In just five minutes, I finished reading three books and gained a lot.
"The higher the life level, the more amazing the learning ability." Pang Ze, who was sitting nearby, exclaimed, "It makes people envious."
"So those scholars with academic qualifications above level 100 are already extremely talented, and after being promoted to source life! The source life's brain thinking ability combined with scientific knowledge... a person's scientific research ability can surpass that of an elementary civilization by countless times. Each one is a priceless treasure to the human race in the universe." Xu Jingming said.
Pang Ze nodded: "That's too far away from us. Come on, I'll take you to the virtual world."
Soon he opened a virtual world called 'Apprentice World'.
whoosh!
Both of them entered the world of apprenticeship.
"The Apprentice World is a very famous virtual world." Pang Ze said as he walked on the wide street. "It ranks in the top ten in terms of popularity among the academic worlds. It's the most suitable for a novice like you."
"I'm really a novice." Xu Jingming said with a smile, "I haven't even taken a degree test."
"I bought the course for you." Pang Ze opened his personal dashboard and quickly purchased a set of courses. "Countless citizens in the universe will also encounter various life difficulties. So how to deal with 'life difficulties' is a very popular course. The course I bought is taught by artificial intelligence! The teaching quality is recognized."
Xu Jingming nodded.
There are many virtual worlds for learning on the virtual world network. Which virtual world should I go to? What kind of courses should I choose? What kind of teachers should I choose?
With the guidance of Pang Ze, a nearly full-level "humanities" character, Xu Jingming was able to learn the knowledge he wanted with the highest efficiency.
…
"Hello, I'm your teacher for the course 'Solving Life's Dilemmas'!" A beautiful woman with crystal-clear skin and a red crystal between her brows said with a smile, "In the next period of time, I will give you one-on-one lessons."
Xu Jingming nodded.
The two sat on the grass.
The intelligent woman said, "As a citizen of the universe, you will encounter all kinds of difficulties during your lifespan of at least several thousand years! How to solve difficulties is a very important issue."
"If you want to have the super ability to solve life's difficulties, first of all, you must have very strong logical thinking ability." said the intelligent woman.
"Logical thinking ability?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
"You need to analyze your predicament and find out what factors caused it! Then think about what conditions you can use and what conditions you can create to ultimately solve the predicament." The intelligent woman said, "This requires logical thinking ability."
"So... this course requires you to have a foundation in science." The intelligent woman said, "Since you are a seventh-level star life and have no academic qualifications, I think you can use six days to study science."
"Oh." Xu Jingming felt complicated.
I didn’t expect that the first step in studying a humanities course on solving life’s difficulties would be to learn science.
So Xu Jingming started studying science, and the smart teacher also provided Xu Jingming with the books he needed to learn.
"I have to solve hundreds of life dilemmas, but I have to learn math first." Xu Jingming sat on the sofa in his personal space, flipping through the textbooks.
In the earliest days of humankind, numbers came into being because of the need to count!
Based on numbers, we have concepts such as integers, decimals, fractions, etc.
There are also different ways to classify numbers, such as prime numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers and so on.
“Huahuahua!”
Xu Jingming was flipping through the basic mathematics textbook. He kept flipping through the textbooks at the speed of learning of the seventh-level starry sky life. He memorized everything with a glance and calculated it thousands of times in his mind.
Number theory, algebra, basic geometry, geometry of high-dimensional space...
This textbook focuses on 'Geometry'.
"High-dimensional space geometry seems very difficult." Xu Jingming had a lot of books beside him. He finally stopped studying mathematics. "According to the requirements, I just need to learn basic geometry. I have already learned half of high-dimensional space geometry."
Xu Jingming looked up at the time and said, "I studied mathematics for more than three days?"
Of course, a seventh-level starry sky life form spends more than three days studying, and learns more and more deeply than a planetary life form does in 30 years.
Xu Jingming looked around.
The length, model, curve of the sofa he was sitting on... a three-dimensional pattern immediately emerged in Xu Jingming's mind, and there were functions to accurately express these models.
"Sofas, chairs, weapons..." Xu Jingming glanced around and found that all kinds of objects contained geometry and could be expressed by functions.
"There are also physics-related ones." Xu Jingming started studying physics again.
Force, motion, energy, rigid body, wave, gas, heat, vacuum, electricity, magnetism, light, mass-energy, space tunnel, multi-dimensional space, space-time field, space-time well...
When Xu Jingming learned about the space tunnel "wormhole", it became more and more difficult. He might have to think for an hour just by looking at a page of paper.
"Stop for now."
Xu Jingming glanced at the time. "It took me a total of seven days . One day longer than the smart teacher required! I also learned more deeply."
"Also learn something about information technology, which will also enhance your logical thinking ability." Xu Jingming was a little obsessed with learning. After all, he studied physics in college and was quite interested in science.
I spent another two days studying informatics.
"Once you have strong enough logical thinking skills, you can start the next humanities study. Let's start with a personal life story to see how others solve life's difficulties." The smart teacher began teaching.
Teach step by step!
As a seventh-level starry sky life, Xu Jingming learns quickly.
Another nine days passed before Xu Jingming completed the entire course.
"You have completed the entire course. If you have any questions about the course, you can come to me again." The smart female teacher smiled and said, "If you are satisfied with the course, please give it a full score."
The higher the rating, the more people will buy this course.
"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded.
The course recommended by Mr. Pang was of very good quality, and Xu Jingming gave it a full score on the spot.
"Thank you for your kind comments." The female teacher bowed to express her gratitude and then disappeared.
Xu Jingming stood on the grass, looking around, feeling very happy: "It feels completely different."
After completing the course, my understanding of my own life and the entire situation of the Blue Planet civilization has become much clearer.
"The so-called ability to calculate and win a battle thousands of miles away... is actually a kind of reasoning." Xu Jingming understood, "Those top strategists have a clear understanding of the entire world and many powerful groups. They understand all kinds of relationships and entanglements, and can deduce the answer based on various elements!"
Just like a rich second generation is addicted to gambling, and the owner of the casino he goes to is shady, it is easy to infer that... the rich second generation is likely to lose everything.
Of course, it can only be considered as the difficulty of addition and subtraction.
A war between nations! It is thousands of times more difficult.
It is necessary to consider the overall world situation, relationship disputes, military capabilities in various aspects, the combat style of the army commander, weather environment, food supply, morale, ability to command troops... Comprehensive reasoning of a large number of factors will make some people military gods, able to defeat the strong with the weak, and win every battle! While some people are fools, leading troops is like sending them to death!
"I am still far from being as good as Mr. Pang, but now I... can be considered to have some self-awareness." Xu Jingming said silently.
To resolve life's difficulties, you must first know yourself.
He has reached this point now.
"Take a degree test." Xu Jingming wanted to test his own abilities.
…
Six hours later, the results came out.
Humanities: 320 points.
Science: 1020 points.
Education: Level 33
"Level 33?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "I didn't take the time-consuming practical exam. If I had taken the practical exam, I would have gotten a few hundred more points, and probably a level or two higher."
The higher the educational level, the higher the points requirement.
For example, if your education level is level 10, you only need 100 points.
The academic level 20 is 300 points.
Education level 30 means 1,000 points.
The academic level 40 is 3,000 points.
The academic level 50 is 10,000 points.
Whether it is humanities or science, it is easier to learn in the early stages, but becomes more difficult as time goes on.
The highest score in humanities (level 60) is only 30,000 points!
The requirement for the 100th level of education is 3 million points! This shows that if you want to become an outstanding scholar, you must take the path of science.
"The higher the life level, the stronger the brain's thinking ability! For example, as a seventh-level star life, my brain's thinking ability is ten times faster than that of the sixth level, and I can think more deeply." Xu Jingming said secretly, "It is countless times stronger than planetary life."
"I studied for a little over eighteen days, which is more efficient than studying planetary life in a lifetime," Xu Jingming exclaimed.
This is the difference in life levels.
"I heard that as long as an eighth-level starry sky life puts in some effort, it can generally reach the 50th level of education." Xu Jingming thought to himself that the scientific research talent of an eighth-level starry sky life may not be high, but with its terrifying brain ability, it can reach the 50th level of education relatively easily.
Of course, the "level 100 academic degree" that is most valued by the human race in the entire universe cannot be achieved by brain power alone, but also requires incredibly amazing scientific talent!
"We can explore the sixth planet again." After nearly 19 days of study, Xu Jingming felt his own transformation. Both his thinking method and logical thinking ability have been greatly improved.
…
A mysterious place, the sixth planet.
Xu Jingming appeared at the foot of the black pyramid and looked up at the towering pyramid: "Let's get started!"
Xu Jingming jumped and reached the first step.
The scene before my eyes changes.
Blue Star, office building, in front of the desk.
Xu Jingming sat there, looking at the computer in front of him.
"Zhang Lei's dilemma..." Xu Jingming felt the memories that were transmitted to him again, which had given him a headache before.
But now, everything is clear as day.
"Zhang Lei's predicament, bank financial management bankruptcy, mortgage, surgery fees, unemployment... In fact, all these predicaments are the same predicament: money!" Xu Jingming thought to himself, "A stable social order is just a predicament of money. It is not difficult for an explorer like me."
A poor couple has many sorrows.
Zhang Lei and his wife had a good relationship, but because of financial failure, all their savings were gone! He lost his job, and the monthly mortgage and hospital fees...all of this caused the family to collapse.
"Let's get started."
Xu Jingming opened his computer browser and went directly to a niche forum.
As a 35-year-old programmer, Zhang Lei has good programming skills and occasionally accepts "outsourcing" in the forum.
"I'll take this job." Xu Jingming took a look around the forum and took a big job.
Soon the other party contacted us via communication.
"Octopus, are you sure you can do it?" The other party couldn't believe it. After all, Zhang Lei was an old user of the forum, and he had never heard that he had such strong ability .
"I'll give you the results in three days." Xu Jingming replied.
"Tsk tsk, you are quite confident! Okay, let's see how you perform then."
…
I haven’t told my family about the bank’s financial product bankruptcy yet.
In three days, Xu Jingming completed the outsourcing! After the other party confirmed the operation, he paid 30,000 yuan!
In half a month, Xu Jingming, who lost his job, completed several difficult outsourcing jobs in a row and was recognized as a "god-level" programmer in the forum. The programmer circle is very big, but also very small! Because there are not many "god-level programmers".
After becoming famous enough, I was invited to help solve a problem for a large company and received a bonus of tens of millions! The large company also invited me to join the company with a high annual salary plus equity incentives!
"In addition to an annual salary of 15 million, we have also set up bonus incentives and equity incentives. We sincerely invite Mr. Zhang Lei. Today, our major shareholder came to our door in person, and he values ​​Mr. Zhang Lei's abilities. We believe that Mr. Zhang Lei will be able to lead our company to a higher level!" The company's chairman, president and major shareholder all came to the door in person to invite him.
Zhang Lei’s wife looked at this scene in disbelief. Is her husband so awesome?
Xu Jingming watched this scene.
Wow! The illusion disappeared.
"I have passed the first level of the illusion of life." Xu Jingming looked at himself still standing on the first level of the black pyramid and understood everything.
"The first life illusion is actually not difficult. You just need to find the 'key' to the dilemma and then solve it. For us explorers... with our super informatics ability, we can easily solve it." Xu Jingming nodded, "However, if it is Zhang Lei himself, with his ordinary programming ability, it would be difficult for him to solve the dilemma."
It is unlikely for an ordinary person in all aspects to earn 10 million yuan when he falls into such a predicament.
Let the explorers go up, then the difficulty will be low.
"Zhang Lei himself has to cut down on expenses in all aspects, even reducing the cost of his children's tutoring. And he has to find ways to improve his personal abilities. With strong abilities, he will naturally be able to find a good job in the circle of programmers who rely on technology." Xu Jingming said secretly.
In a peaceful and stable world, strong technology means strength.
If you are weak, you can only go with the flow.
With such great strength, even the strongest winds and waves are just gentle breezes and drizzles.
…
Xu Jingming jumped onto the second level of the black pyramid.
The scene in front of me changes, but it is still the Blue Planet!
It is the Blue Planet from an earlier era, during the war.
In a forest, fifteen dishevelled soldiers were leaning against tree trunks, drinking water and eating dry food, all in a daze. Xu Jingming was one of them.
"This gun?"
Xu Jingming noticed the rifle at his feet and the bullets on his back.
This backward rifle was also a product of Blue Star more than a hundred years ago.
"It's over, it's all over." Some soldiers looked desperate.
"The enemy is chasing us and may find us at any time. Why don't we flee separately? Perhaps one or two of us can escape." A soldier whispered.
Xu Jingming sat there, receiving the memories in his mind.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos and warlords are fighting each other. He is a small soldier under the command of Marshal Sun. Marshal Sun was defeated, and the dozen or so remaining soldiers fled into the woods, while there were still a large number of enemies outside.
Virtual words appeared before Xu Jingming's eyes——
The second level of life dilemma, the requirements for solving it are: escape from the pursuit, build your own army within one year, and capture Wufang City. (Limited strength and speed limit)
Xu Jingming thought for a moment.
"Escape separately?" Xu Jingming immediately stood up and looked at the soldiers around him, "Maybe no one can escape! Can you be willing to die like this?"
"What can we do? There are only a few of us." A soldier retorted.
Xu Jingming said: "The Xifan Army has been fighting us for so many years, and there is a blood feud. The son of General Pan of the Xifan Army died on the battlefield, and the brothers who surrendered before were all shot! General Pan was furious and refused to accept surrender. He wanted to kill everyone. He is now hunting us down."
"He can't survive." Someone whispered.
Everyone has lost morale.
"Then treat us all as dead." Xu Jingming's eyes turned red and he said, "We are all dead, find a way to fight! If you can kill a few, it will be a profit! If you are lucky enough to escape... it will be an even bigger profit."
"To be honest." Xu Jingming's eyes were filled with anticipation. "I also want to go back to my hometown Wu'an and see my mother again."
"I also want to go back and see my son. My son should be three years old this year." A soldier whispered, tears streaming down his face.
"I want to go back too... Xiao Cui said she would wait for me to come back, but I can't go back, I can't go back!" A soldier cried bitterly.
Xu Jingming looked at these soldiers and said, "If we give up, there will be no hope at all. If we fight, maybe we can really return to Wu'an!"
The soldiers looked at Xu Jingming one by one.
"Return to Wu'an." Xu Jingming said, "Return to my hometown."
"Let's try again." A soldier held a gun.
"If you don't fight, you will die. Fight now."
The soldiers gritted their teeth.
…
Xu Jingming first united this group of people, and then, on the one hand, gathered more fleeing soldiers to make his own strength stronger. On the other hand, he explored the surroundings, swallowed up small groups of enemies, and avoided large groups of enemies!
Although Xu Jingming's strength and speed were limited, he became a sharpshooter by relying on his strong consciousness to control the gun in his hand.
Strengthen your own side, unite your own side! Avoid the real and attack the fake!
Xu Jingming did not fight with the Xifan Army! After escaping from the pursuit range, he headed towards Wu'an, trying to absorb strength on the way! In troubled times, there are still many people who want to be soldiers to have a full meal.
After eight months, Xu Jingming used Marshal Sun's original team as his foundation, gathered the remnants, recruited new people, and formed a team of 30,000 people.
Finally, with the help of internal and external forces and the help of Wuan fellow villagers, they entered Wuan City overnight without bloodshed and completely occupied Wuan City overnight.
“Wow.”
When the dignitaries of Wu'an City came to visit Xu Jingming, the new warlord, the illusion dissipated.
"Passed the second level of illusion." Xu Jingming also took a rest. It had been more than eight months in the illusion, and most of the day in reality.
In the illusion, he engaged in intrigue, excluded some threatening people, united those who could be won over, increased his influence and appeal among ordinary soldiers, and ensured that the army was under his control.
The army has to march to Wu'an, and it needs to take a lot of thought into the food supply, military expenditure preparation, and guard against other forces along the way.
"It's much more difficult than the first level of illusion." Xu Jingming said secretly.
whoosh.
He jumped up and reached the third step of the black pyramid.
The scene changes, and it is the feudal dynasty period of Blue Star.
In the icy snow, a little beggar hid in the corner with a broken bowl in front of him. When he saw people dressed better, he kowtowed and said, "Kind master and lady, please be kind and give us some food."
Suddenly the little beggar was slightly stunned.
"Became a beggar?" Xu Jingming shuddered. "So cold and so hungry."
There are also memories in my mind.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a great famine, the people were living in misery, and there were many rebellions. Li Ergou fled to Yucheng.
It was freezing and snowy, with only tattered clothes on my body. I was hungry and cold, and if nothing changed, I would probably freeze to death tonight.
Xu Jingming saw illusory words appearing before his eyes——
The third level of life dilemma: Arrive at the capital alive within one year. (Limited strength and speed limit)
"From Yucheng to the northern capital? And during a time of war? And in the body of a little beggar?" Xu Jingming could feel that even if he tried to mobilize his body, the upper limit of his strength and speed was weaker than that of an ordinary person.
"Survive in troubled times?" Xu Jingming realized that it was not easy. Rebels, robbers, people fleeing famine...all kinds of dangers, even weather conditions, illness, etc., could take his life.
…
Layer upon layer of illusions.
This is also a kind of practice. Gradually, he becomes more skilled in dealing with various difficulties.
But accidents still happen and failures occur.
finally--
"It's really difficult." Xu Jingming looked around.
The ninety-ninth level of illusion is the primitive period of Blue Planet.
The temperature of the planet dropped suddenly, the rivers froze, countless plants froze to death, and food was scarce. Xu Jingming led the tribe to migrate along the water source, trying to find a way to survive.
Survival is really difficult.
In one year, only 36 of the original 132 people in the tribe survived, and they are still on the way to migrate.
"Success." Xu Jingming watched the illusion dissipate. "As long as 30 tribesmen are alive after one year, it will be considered a success. But it's really not easy."
In order to migrate and survive, Xu Jingming put all his efforts into it.
“Wow.”
The 100th level of life dilemma: Star pirates come and slaughter the Blue Star civilization! Please survive the slaughter and complete revenge within one year. (Have a real body)
This level of illusion is the only illusion of the future!
When the terrifying star pirates appeared, their power exceeded the resistance limit of the Blue Star civilization.
The star pirates killed indiscriminately, leaving no one alive!
Countless people in the entire civilization died. Even though Xu Jingming possessed the body of a seventh-level star life form and many high-tech weapons and equipment from the Blue Star, he still felt despair.
…
Xu Jingming tried the final 100th level of illusion eight times, and succeeded on the eighth try.
“Congratulations on having passed hundreds of life’s difficulties. However, the reality is unknown and there is no chance to start over. Therefore, the best way to solve life’s difficulties... is to not put yourself in trouble.” The voice echoed in his mind. The last illusion dissipated and Xu Jingming looked up.
Then he took a step and jumped up.
Xu Jingming stood on the top of the black pyramid, looking at the micro wormhole at the top, but he was calm.
Hundreds of life dilemmas took hundreds of days in reality, and the time he experienced in the illusion was more than a hundred years. During this hundred years, he was an ordinary programmer, a soldier in troubled times, a beggar, a bodyguard, a killer, a shop owner, a fortune teller, a cripple, a blind man, a seriously ill , a hostage, the ruler of a small country, a powerful general, a tribal leader, a primitive man...
Characters from different periods face different life dilemmas.
If the previous 18 days of study were an accumulation of knowledge and an improvement in logical thinking, then the subsequent "hundred years" of facing hundreds of life difficulties was a baptism of Xu Jingming's soul!
After this baptism, Xu Jingming was truly reborn!
Even for those star creatures that have lived for thousands of years, most of their lives are not as complicated and dangerous as the "hundreds of life dilemmas".
"Perhaps the greatest help of the seven planets in this mysterious place to me is not being recruited by a certain force, but the tests in the process." Xu Jingming said silently. The more tests he faced, the greater the gains he would get.
The test of the neutron star made him realize the art of the flowing light spear.
The hundreds of tests in life are also a baptism of the soul.
"The seventh planet." Xu Jingming looked at the miniature wormhole in front of him.
And at this moment, observe the space.
Whether it was the 352 regional forces at the lower level or the 17 top forces at the upper level, they all looked at Xu Jingming!
