Chapter 1: Mind Control
SBT Chapter 001 : Mind Control
In a room of Sanjiang Municipal Public Hospital, a guy named Wu Hao was lying on a bed. At this very moment, both his eyes opened. He mindlessly stared at the dust particles floating on the ss cup in front of him. To his amazement, the supposedly pain on his body had mostly disappear.
Whats going on here?! Dont tell me that after hitting my head hard from the fall, my brain starts to mutate? I was just thirsty and wanted to drink some water. All of sudden the ss cup which originally ced nicely on the table started floating and arrived in front of me.
Actually Wu Hao who just woke up froma was feeling thirsty. Because of his body and head injury, nearly whole body of his was wrapped in gauze and ster. That was the reason why he couldnt move. Even the ward nurses were not in the room
He did not expect that just with his thought that he wanted to eliminate his thirst, the ss cup on the table next to him would float towards him.
Luckily, there were no other patients in the room and the nurses had left too. If not, anyone who see such incident will surely get scared to death.
The injury on Wu Hao could be considered work rted. However, the main reason was still because of his own carelessness.
Actually the real situation was like this. Last night Wu Hao received a message from his girlfriend who currently works at a nearby city. They had dated for 3 years since university and eventually she wanted to break up now.
The reason was very simple. After both graduated, they found their work in different cities. Even though they were separated from each other not even more than 3 months. their rtionship was getting worse. Untilst night, his girlfriend finally asked him to break up officially.
This morning, Wu Hao whom his broken heart still havent recovered, went to work absent mindedly. That was why when he went together with his colleague to the construction site for inspection, he identally slipped from the steel frame. From 2 floor height high steel frame, he fell. His body and head hit back and forth like a pinball between the steel frame beforended. As soon as thending urred, he instantly fainted.
After the shocking ident, his colleague rushed him to the nearest public hospital. A detailed andplete examination of whole body had been done. It seemed that Wu Hao only suffered from minor concussion. Besides those injuries on his limbs, there was nothing else worth mentioning. After ensuring that he was not in any danger, his colleague left him there.
Thepany and hospital notified Wu Haos family regarding this. It was just that Wu Hao came to Sanjiang city not too long ago. Thus, he had no friends and family in the city. All family members of his stayed at the rural area of Sichuan. His parents were just ordinary farmers. Even if his parents receive the news now and start to rush over to Sanjiang city, it will take at least two days to arrive.
Lying on the bed, Wu Hao started experimenting. His original shock turned into amazement instead.
Escaping a great cmity and you will find yourself a fortune. Because he was now a mutant, this seemed to confirm the rumor. After the ident, he surprisingly could use his thought to control object. The legendary telekinesis.
Not only that, when he closed his eyes, he was able to see anything ahead within radius of five meters. Coincidentally, five meters was the range of his mind control too.
O shit! Is it because I used my mind control too long? After a few minutes of continuous usage of mind control, the originally amazed Wu Hao now felt weak suddenly. He felt a pain inside his head that wanted to burst.
This pain was not from his head injury but rather from a certain region deep in his brain. This sudden pain immediately made Wu Hao to stop having any idea to continue using this ability.
In addition to his earlier experiment of manipting the cup and also those small objects which were readily avable on the table, he vaguely felt that controlling thoserge objects wont work though. Thus, he did not have any desire to test that out.
His sixth sense told him that he currently could only control up to about 100 catties weight item. If the range is toorge, for example 1000 catties, logically this wont work.
Moreover, Wu Hao was still getting used to mind control. This ability seemed weak and very limiting. Even controlling small objects for just a few minutes already made him so weak and painful in his head.
Soon Wu Hao justy down on his bed with eyes close. After closing both eyes, he took deep breath for few minutes to rest himself. Sense of tingling pain in his brain gradually weaken.
Seems that my mental strength is really weak, just such a short duration and I could already feel the strain on my head. With these changes, Wu Hao somehow started to understand more of his ability.
While he was concentrating on his breathing, that moment he sensed his mind was now in a unique ce. This region has an endless night sky with stars sparkling beautifully. It then started to form thread of some particle which then condensed into a violet airflow.
Wu Hao was actually using a breathing technique at that moment. When he was still in college, he stumbled upon it from Inte. This breathing technique is a way of practicing Qigong.
It was absolutely simple to practice. Whether sitting or lying down, he could still practice it effortlessly. This type of deep breathing technique can actually enhance internal organs and strength.
Too bad Wu Hao did not have much perseverance. When he came into contact with this method, everyday he would practice it during morning and evening for two consecutive months. Then the next few years in university, he would just practice it randomly without any schedule. Whenever he thought of it, then only he would practice it for a few minutes.
Even though this breathing technique did not grant him any extreme qigong skill, at least his body and health did indeed improvepared tost time. As long as you use this technique, even when encountering small cold or body feel ufortable, tomorrow you will surely recover.
In Wu Haos opinion, even if he disliked those people who try to learn all those nonsense magic or achieving whatever soul realm in inte, learning some skill to improve his body health was already sufficient for him.
After all the breathing technique which he gotten from inte, with all those benefits verified by a Taoist monk, he did not believe them entirely. Even so, it was not like he could practice continuously everyday.
However, this technique had been proven that it could quickly restore his weaken mind. By practicing it everyday, such problem should have been solved then.
When you have the power, the telekinesis power which is so imbnce, if you do not diligently train on how to use it, then such ability on that person is really unjustified.
I did not expect with such method, the thread forming the airflow in the brain at such great speed. Just about 10 minutes, I already near full recovery.
Dont tell me this ident on my head had any rtion with the breathing technique? Why previously I couldnt feel a damn thing? The violet thread in his brain at this moment had started to form quite a bunch. They almost reached the point of saturation. Wu Hao started pondering about the origin of the violet airflow.
Unfortunately, even cracking his brain million times wont get him to find any answer. It was better he just put it aside instead of stressing on such matter. He allowed himself to continue the recovery before using his ability again on the small objects in the room.
However, this time Wu Hao did not use it like before carelessly by flying the objects around here and there. After all this was still a hospital ward. Even though the bed beside him was empty, who knows when the doctor or nurses wille and open the door suddenly!
Thus, Wu Hao hid himself at the corner of the bed to prevent himself from being seen by anyone who enter into the room.
This time he not only tested the maniption of object to float but also the maximum weight of item he could control. Finally now he could control up to three different objects simultaneously. Weight was about five kg while the control range was about five meters.
After continuous usage for two minutes, the violet airflow in his brain nearly depleted. His head started to swell slightly. Obviously now was the limit point.
If Wu Hao was to continue using his ability, he was certain that previous weakening will happen again. By experienced it himself, of course he wont repeat the same mistake again.
Anyway, as long as he practiced the breathing technique, he would recover back in roughly ten minutes. Then, he would continue practicing his ability. Wu Hao closed his eyes like before and breathed deeply using the technique.
At this very moment, the door was pushed open. With a medical trolley, a twenty plus year old young nurse with face covered by mask came in.
You regained your consciousness? Anything ufortable? It was a young nurse doing her routine inspection. Wu Hao with his eyes opened widely started to evaluate her.
Looking at the nurse, although with a mask and Wu Hao couldnt observe full feature of her face, he could still estimate that her beauty level was not really that high. Her looks can only be considered ordinary. After all, in reality, those high standard nurses are still rare.
Although this hospital did indeed have those kind of nurses, maybe they were responsible in those VIP room. Since he was currently staying in general ward, of course he wont have such privilege.
Also he did not think that he could attract any attention from the nurses here. After all, he was not a guy who earn a living with his face. His height was only about 1.75m nor having any good body figure with eight abs. Even worst, he was a nobody without any rank.
The only thing he had? Something verymon, a degree in construction management. A few months before he graduated, he found a constructionpany with extreme difficulties to do his internship. Now, a few more days left before the internship ends. Whether he could stay in thepany or not, it was still unknown.
Nope, everything is fine. I am feeling quite good. Wu Hao smiled. Of course he was in a good mood. In the past 20 years he had never been in such a cloud nine before.
Chapter 2: Discharged and planning
Chapter 2: Discharged and nning
......
After the ward inspection nurse had some brief enquiry with Wu Hao and left the room, a momentter, a middle aged doctor wearing white coat with spectacles came into the room together with two nurses.
Your situation now is not in any sort of danger anymore. However, topletely recover, you need to be hospitalized for quite some time. The middle aged doctor began to speak after finished his inspection on Wu Hao.
All right, seems that I am in your care, Dr.Wang. Wu Hao who was in a good mood looked closely at the doctors nametag and smiled while replying.
Although this injury seemed serious from the outside and even caused him not being able to move his body at all currently, it was a blessing in disguise. Thanks to this ident, he obtained the magical telekinesis. He could totally forget about the ident.
Moreover, there was no any serious illness on his body now. Not being able to move was also because of the bandage and ster on his limbs. In fact, Wu Hao thought that if he removes the bandage and ster now, he will be able to walk freely like he used to.
Wang Wendong smiled back at him since Wu Hao was so polite to him. Well young man, rest well. If you have any problem regarding your body, just let Nurse Zhang know about it. She will inform to me immediately then.
Wu Hao heard that and then nodded as a sign that he understood. Wang Wendong and the two nurses then left the room. Only the nurse who was previously in charge of Wu Haos room remained. She helped him to change the infusion bag and gauze.
Soon, when the nurse left the room too, Wu Hao continued his experiment regarding his telekinesis. He used his mind control for few minutes and waited till his mind power near depletion. Closing his eyes, he began practicing the breathing technique to recover himself.
After several cycles of training and recovering, his maximum duration to use his telekinesis had increased tremendouslypared to first time.
Apparently my telekinesis could improve somehow. As long as I keep repeating this cycle of training and recovering, my mind control duration will surely increase bit by bit. With this proven hypothesis, Wu Haos heart was getting more pump up.
After all, although he had this power now, the maniptive force was not strong at all. Only five kg of weight within radius of five meters.
If his ability remained static as it is now, then it wont help him much in his daily life.
However, now he had found out that he could improve his ability by repeating his training and recovering cycle. Then, the current situation will bepletely different.
I wonder what is the limit of my telekinesis. If I could be as powerful as the protagonist in the movies, my life will be so wonderful. Wu Hao stared at the ceiling with his eye lit up, murmuring while lying on the bed.
At the same time, his mind began to fantasize that one day, his telekinesis was as strong as the protagonist in the movie. Controlling his own body to fly or even car and tank.
Thinking of the scene, Wu Haos facial expression shown a bright smile.
However, Wu Hao quickly recovered back himself to reality. He began to quietly repeat the cycle of training and recovering again.
The next day, after continuously repeating the cycle for whole night, his original ability to control five kg weight item had increased till about ten kg.
It just took him a night to double his mind control ability. Of course Wu Hao felt very excited right now as his ability grew so fast.
Surprisingly, Wu Hao found out that after spending one whole night time of repeating the cycle, he did not feel sleepy even at the slightest. Instead, he could feel that he was even more spirited than ever.
Thus, Wu Hao diligently practiced with excitement. Since he could use his supposely sleeping time to train and restore back his mind with the breathing technique, if his telekinesis was able to maintain this growth rate, it shouldnt be long before he is able to control his body with his mind and fly right?
This is great! I did not expect my mind control to grow that fast. Since I am now trapped in hospital, why dont I use this time to keep practicing? Wu Hao thought.
Flying is always a mans dream since ancient time. Wu Hao was not the exception too.
In todays modern society, human mankind had created technology like airne to soar in the sky.
However, this method did not provide the true feeling of flying with his own body.
And now, as long as Wu Hao continuously strengthen his mind control, then he will one day be able to achieve the true feeling of flying in the sky.
Just like that, Wu Hao stayed in the hospital for a week and thus, the injury in his body were close to full recovery.
With such recovery speed, Wang Wendong who was in charge of him was greatly surprised. This was the so called 100 days to recover injuries. Although Wu Haos limbs were just suffering from minor fracture due to the fall, ording to the usual circumstances, usually it will take at least one or two months to fully recover.
However, Wu Hao only took one week duration to fully recover.
Of course Wu Hao knew that to be able to recover at such fast rate, his heart naturally was aware that this only happened due to his continuous repeat of the cycle during this period of time.
But of course Wu Hao would not tell the truth to others. He just mentioned that he was always in a good health and he recovers much faster than average human.
As for them to believe or not, he did not bother much about it.
Even about this telekinesis ability that he had acquired, he did not dare to tell about it to his dad who came to visit him all the way from home.
After all this ability was too amazing. Until he had enough power to protect himself, he will temporarily not tell anything about this even to his close rtives. An additional man to know will only bring more trouble to himself and his family members.
Dad, I hadpletely recovered. You dont have to worry about me anymore. This 5000 Yuanpensation from mypany you just keep it to improve your living back home. Sister had already now in secondary school. I am sure she need a lot of expenses now for her school. Leaving the hospital, Wu Hao said to his dad, Wu Hongguo. At the same time, 5000 Yuan given by his manager were inserted into his dads hand.
This money you just keep it yourself, you just recently started working. It is not easy to live outside alone by yourself. Our current condition even though having some difficulties, I am sure we can manage somehow. Temporarily you dont have to worry about us. Both me and your mum are still healthy and able to work. Supporting your sister all the way to college shouldnt be a problem. Wu Hongguo with a wrinkled face slightly smiled.
Wu Hongguo on the afternoon of second day when Wu Hao woke up from hisa, arrived at Sanjiang city. These few days he had always stayed beside Wu Hao to take care of him. At first, during his arrival day, Wu Hao had told him he was fine and there was nothing serious. He even asked his dad to just go back home and not to worry about him.
However, his dad still could not stop worrying about him and decided to stay beside him to take care.
Dad, you just keep this money! Mypany just deposited this month sry, it is more than enough for my expenses. Regarding sisters education in college, just leave it to me. Wu Haos heart was touched. At the same time he secretly made a vow that in future, he will make lots of money to improve his family financial. He wanted to make sure his parents no longer need to work hard at such old age and happily retire and enjoy their golden age life.
As for his sister, Wu Xiaoxiao, he will not let her to continue suffering.
It was hard to imagine with his ordinary looking face, Wu Haos sister was totally different from him. She was a total beauty. Since young till now, he always felt depressed for such Gods injustice.
This was because whenever both brother and sister went out, no one would recognize them for being blood rted. Their face whenpared were like heaven and hell!
If it was in the past, he would surely have no self confidence to improve his family financial status but now, it was no longer the same.
Because currently, during his stay in hospital, he had increased his mind control ability to 300kg weight object and spiritual perception radius to 30 meters.
The spiritual perception of 30 meters in range and weight limit of 300kg had let Wu Hao to have such a confidence that he had never experience before in his life before.
He believed that by having telekinesis and strong spiritual perception, he will have lots of method at the tip of his fingers to earn money.
Moreover, Wu Hao already had a faint idea about that. He just cant wait to leave the hospital fast and start implementing his idea as soon as possible.
......
Chapter 3: Method of earning money
Chapter 3: Method of earning money
......
After personally sending his dad to the station, Wu Hao went back to thepany''s construction site.
Of course, when his dad was about to leave, Wu Hao forcefully stuffed the 5000 Yuanpensation into his dads bag.
Anyway, he did not have any intention to stay in thepany any longer. This was because even though he passed his internship period, the monthly sry was only 3000 Yuan. If it was before then he could still hardly ept it.
Now having such abnormal telekinesis ability, why must he still work for them? He better went off doing something else rather than staying in thepany, receiving fixed sry!
Of course he wont do something illegally.
What can he do with the mind control of 300kg within 30 meters radius? There were way lot of answers. The most direct method would be going to mountain for some hunting or finding rare medicinal ingredients which can be sold at high price.
Being able to control 300kg object, Wu Hao believed that even if he entered some deserted mountain, there wont be much danger for him to encounter.
After all, he was able to control his own body to fly now.
Although his telekinesis could onlyst him for about an hour, as long as he used his telekinesis on his body efficiently, he would be able to travel back and forth in the mountain with ease.
Furthermore, he had the spiritual perception within range of 30 meters. If there was any danger, he would be able to discover it first.
However, till now he had not been able to experience the fun of flying. Because of his stay in hospital, even if he wanted to test also he couldnt carry it out.
He just used his telekinesis to float his own body for a bit and held the position. This was also only carried out when his dad and the nurses were not around in the room.
Since he had his telekinesis and spiritual perception, he could just leisurely go to the mountain to hunt some animal and gather some valuable herbs.
With these abilities, there was one more much simpler and quicker method. That would be gambling.
Having this idea of gambling, because he had the magical spiritual perception to cheat, all objects within 30 meters radius would be under hismand as long as he activated his ability.
Even if it was separated by wall or blocked by other objects, he would still be able to perceive the situation clearly.
Of course his spiritual perception was not a see through ability. It could only see through hollow objects. For example, whats inside a lid or the situation in a room.
A see through ability was different. See through ability could instantly see what is inside an object. Even a solid rock, its internal structure will be able to be seen.
This kind of ability, Wu Haos spiritual perception was not able to do so. His kind of ability was like installing surveince camera which covers 30 meter in radius and is capable to survey from any point of view.
In the hospital, using his spiritual perception, he had seen a lot of scenes which he shouldnt have seen. For example, when the nurses were changing their clothes, he was able to observe everything thanks to his ability.
However, he wasnt trying to peep. This was because once he used this ability, in his mind a number of surveince cameras appeared. All the scene within the range would then popped out in his brain.
As a result, he had a vague guilt at first regarding the peep. Then, after keep identally peeping the nurses, he no longer had any feeling about it anymore. He felt that he was actually like the Gods point of view, this kind of situation should be absolutelymon.
Moreover, living in the hospital, there was not much of a beauty existence. Since there was no beauty, of course there wont be any good looking one either. If he kept using his spiritual perception randomly, it would actually bring risk of polluting his eyes instead. Thus, under normal circumstances, he would not use his ability.
Wu Hao, this time you were too careless to cause such injury. Next time, while working, be extra careful. This time you were considered lucky. And also, you had finished your internship period here. Work hard at thispany and dont burden your mind too much. The manager of the department which in charge of Wu Hao, Zhou Tao told him so.
Thanks for your concern, Manager Zhou. However, the reason I find Manager Zhou today is to hand in my letter of resignation. Wu Hao was somehow grateful to Zhou Tao. During his internship period, Zhou Tao did not cause any difficulties for those interns but instead taught them a lot regarding their duty.
Such working environment was so hard to find nowadays. Most of the bosses and managers would always me the juniors, scold and berate them. As if they were going to teach anything to the juniors.
You want to resign? I thought you were doing great here during the internship? Why did you suddenly thought of resigning? Is it because of thepensation for your injury was too little? Hearing Wu Haos request to resign, Zhou Tao asked for the reason.
From Zhou Taos opinion, topensate Wu Haos injury for mere 5000 Yuan was indeed too little.
However, Wu Hao was still an intern at the time of injury. Being paid fully for his medical bill by thepany and also receiving 5000 Yuanpensation was already considered quite a good policy.
No, manager. Thats not the reason why I want to resign. I think this job doesnt suit me. Instead, I want to go back to my hometown and try my luck there. Wu Hao just randomly stated a reason.
Ah! If like that, I wont persuade you any longer. Wish you all the best then! Zhou Tao after heard his reason, was speechless for a moment and then said with a smile.
He could guessed that Wu Hao was just making a random reason. Since Wu Hao already had his own n in his mind, Zhou Tao naturally wont force him to stay. Anyway, he had already said what was he supposed to say.
Zhou Tao made a phone call and said a few words. He then told Wu Hao, I had informed the financial department just now. When you are on your way back, just im your remaining wages there!
Thanks Manager Zhou! Wu Hao politely thanked him and then left Zhou Taos office. He went to the financial department to get hisst month sry and said goodbye to a few of his colleague. Then, he went back to his hostel and packed his luggage before leaving for the station next to the hostel.
Now, in total I have 3000 Yuan. With this money I am afraid that I cant still afford a ticket to Macao. It seems that I have to start umting some money first! Wu Hao carrying his luggage while walking alone on the street started to ponder.
With the remaining wages that he collected from the financial department and his remaining cash, the total money in his possession was just 3000 Yuan. Although Sanjiang and Guaongzhou are neighbouring province, Wu Hao wanted to go gambling at Macao. This seemed very unlikely to happen with such budget.
This was because besides amodation and travel cost, he still need to apply Hong Kong and Macao pass. To apply for the pass, you need quite a duration for the whole process toplete. By the time he reaches Macao, he wont have any capital to gamble right?
......
Chapter 4: To accumulate capital
Chapter 4: To umte capital
......
At for Wu Hao, the most important thing for him to do right now was to earn a quick buck. Then, he would improve his familys economic status.
After all, his parents were already at the retirement age. In addition to their all-year farm works, they seemed to age morepared to their peers.
Since the current him had such ability, of course he would use it to the utmost to make sure his family members lead a better life.
Besides gambling, he could have go to the mountain and hunt for some animals or valuable herbs.
But this method was somehow slow and very troublesomepared to gambling.
For Wu Hao who had such privilege, hunting in the mountain was as easy as ABC for him. Whenever a prey entered within his spiritual perception radius of 30 meter, he would just need to use his telekinesis to control weapon to kill it or just directly caught it with his telekinesis.
However, at most Wu Hao could hunt would be small-size prey like hare and small boar. Furthermore, his harvest must not be inrge quantity. If his harvest was too extreme, he was very sure that it would attract unwanted attention from others and eventually brought him more trouble instead.
As for searching herbs, even for the current Wu Hao, it was a no easy feat.
Although he could now easily move around in the mountain, unfortunately he had no prior knowledge about precious herbs at all. He was afraid that even if a valuable herb appeared in his perception radius, he would still not able to recognize it.
Besides that, in Sanjiang city, there was no deep forest. Thus, chances of harvesting valuable herbs were close to zero.
Wu Hao had to forget about this ineffective method then.
In the end, he was back to square one. After all, the best n was still going to Macao and gamble.
Though in certain cities of Maind, there were some underground casinos. However, these ces were illegal. He could not find his way there even if he wanted to. If he did win some money there, Wu Hao was afraid that trouble would follow him too.
Macao would have been a totally different story. Such ce had famous casinosparable to the international standard of Las Vegas. The number of big and small casinos in Macao were uncountable with just 10 fingers.
Wu Hao did not n to earn too much money by gambling. His request was not high at all. As long as he won himself a few millions, that would have satisfied him already.
Millions of Yuan for those big casinos in Macao were just peanuts.
Even if he won, the casino would not get him into trouble. Unless Wu Hao won too much at one time, tens of millions or billions of Yuan, then of course he would be in the mark list of the casino management.
The main reason why Wu Hao dared to go to Macao to gamble was because his telekinesis besides spiritual perception.
Although till now Wu Hao had not used his telekinesis in any battle, he had never doubt the lethality of this ability.
As long as any man who wanted to harm him did not exceed 300kg in weight, he need to face huge hurdle of getting close to Wu Hao. That was not even mentioning about inflicting damage to Wu Hao yet.
Also, Wu Hao could use his telekinesis to control any weapon and attack. He had never tested its effectiveness but imagining it would have already horrified anyone.
Let just say a group of men attacked Wu Hao. Before they got close to Wu Hao till their attacking range, a knife or some weapon flied towards them. In this scenario, how many people could actually escape unscathed?
Even if opponent used firearms, that would also very unlikely to hit Wu Hao.
Unless the counterparts weapon was able to produce more than 300kg force power, onlyrge caliber rifles and snipers were able to do so or if he was facing rain of bullets. Otherwise, his security would always be guaranteed.
Thus, it was because of this formidable telekinesis that Wu Hao had such confidence to visit Macau and gain fortune. Otherwise, he would not suggest such idea at all.
Just like that, Wu Hao temporarily stayed in Sanjiang city for the next two days. He started to earn money for the capital to Macao.
Indeed Wu Haos method of getting his capital charged up was simple. Everyday, he would visit some mahjong houses in Sanjiang city. Although Wu Hao did not y frequently, he still knew how to y mahjong.
Moreover, in the mahjong houses, besides ying mahjong, there were still some who yed cards. Fight thendlord. That was the card game which Wu Hao had quite a good skill in. During his leisure time, he did indeed like to y that game with his friends. Furthermore, his winning rate was quite high too.
These mahjong houses could be found anywhere in the city. Usually the frequent visitors were those young workers working nearby or residents. Thus, each session of game would usually earn him around hundreds of Yuan or at most thousands.
The aim for Wu Hao to visit such ces was not to win money till he got rich. He just wanted to gather few thousands Yuan as capital for his Macao trip.
Thus, by using his perception to cheat, Wu Hao was able to see other yers cards.
These 2 days, Wu Hao went to different mahjong houses in morning, afternoon and night. Sometimes he would y mahjong while the other times he would went for his favorite fight thendlord.
Each visit resulted in hundreds or thousands profit. Two days were then finally over. Wu Hao earned himself a total of 5000 plus Yuan. With the previous 3000 Yuan that he had, Wu Hao decided that such money as capital for his Macao trip should be enough.
Thus, Wu Hao decided to quit and stop bullying those ordinary people any more.
Besides that, he went to Macao to earn a fortune. Not gathering capital, burning his money away there. Having these few thousand Yuan should be more than enough.
And also, during these two days, Wu Hao did some research on how to go Macao from there. When he knew that the duration for the pass to be issued require at least 10 days and a lot of documents to be prepared, he immediately decided to scrap off the idea of visiting Macao through a formal channel.
He decided to find a ce in the maind which was the nearest to Macao and secretly flew over there.
During the night, Wu Hao found himself a ce without any people to test his flight ability. At the beginning, Wu Hao did not dare to fly at a high altitude.
After all, the feeling of suspended in the air was difficult for him to get used to in such short time.
After two nights of undergoing test and practice, Wu Hao had finally conquered his fear of that feeling. Finally, he was able to fully experience true high-altitude flight.
The current him was able to fly about 500 meter above ground. It was not that he could not fly higher but his telekinesis ability was still somehow limited. For his own safety reasons, he decided to not push himself further.
In case he was flying up high and some unforeseen emergency happened such as his telekinesis being deactivated without his consent, wouldnt he be having a 360 degree free fall all the way to the ground!
Furthermore, the sky was so dark at night. At the altitude of 500 meter, it would be impossible for the people on thend to notice him. Thus, taking the risk of fly higher was not a necessity.
At the same time, his telekinesis and spiritual perception ability had improved yet again after repeating the cycle of training and breathing with the special technique.
However, due to Wu Hao busy earning money, his ability upgrade rate was only half of what it used to be.
This was because during his stay in hospital, he repeated the cycle continuously without even sleeping. Thus, his ability increased at such tremendous rate in a week time.
The next day after winning the capital needed in Sanjiang city, Wu Hao bought a bus ticket to Guangzhou province. Since there were still several hours left as the departure time was at afternoon, Wu Hao decided to stroll around in the mall nearby the bus station.
After wandering for a while, Wu Hao stumbled upon a shop selling military equipment.
Brother, what are you interested in? Come inside and have a look. The shop owner was a middle age man wearing a military camouge uniform. Noticing that Wu Hao was staring at the disy products from outside, he quickly went to greet him with enthusiasm.
......
Chapter 5: The seat was occupied
Chapter 5: The seat was upied
......
Wu Hao, after hearing the greeting from the shop owner, went straight into the shop without replying.
Although the store was not huge, there were many equipments avable for sale. All kinds of outdoor supplies and cutting tools were avable in the store.
As he browsed through some of the goods, Wu Hao became excited. He went back to the shop owner and asked, Boss, do you sell throwing knives or dart-like stuff?
So, little brother wants to buy throwing knives? Of course I have them. The shop owner went to a corner of the counter and retrieved a leather case. He then walked towards Wu Hao, and slowly opened the case in front of him.
Come have a look here. Do these type of throwing knives fulfill your requirements?
When the middle aged man opened the case, 12 ck flying knives appeared in front of Wu Hao.
These flying knives were not huge, around 6 to 8cm long. They could be considered the smallest size avable; if the knives were smaller, they would be very difficult to use.
However for Wu Hao who had telekinesis, even a small needle in his hands would be an invisible killing weapon.
The workmanship of the 12 small ck throwing knives was very delicate and the shape of the knives was very beautiful in contrast to the razor sharp edge.
The material used for the throwing knives should not be ordinary steel. As for the hardness, Wu Hao was not worried about it.
When the knives were in the box, it was even smaller than palm size. It would be very convenient to carry the box around. Thinking of this point, Wu Hao started to love these delicate and sharp knives more.
He was very sure that these knives were indeed a match with his telekinesis.
Hmmm, they seem to be not bad. How much were they? If they arent expensive, I would take them.
Hehe. Since little brother likes them, I would give you a special rate. Originally the price was 800 Yuan. Since brother took a fancy of them, I would only charge you 500 Yuan.
Okay. Here is 500 Yuan. I want them. Hearing the shop owners remarks, Wu Hao knew that they were just someme excuses.
However he did not care much about it. He just paid the amount in full without bargaining and then left the shop after some polite gestures to the shop owner.
Although there were many items in the store which Wu Hao wanted to buy, he had to temporarily give up this idea as hecked the budget.
But he had decided that after he won a huge amount of money in Macao, he would get himself the best set of outdoor equipment. This was a preparation for his exploration and wild adventures in the future.
Wild adventure was something Wu Hao had been dreaming of.
It was just that previously he was financially unstable. Thus, he had no spare time for it. Even if he really wanted to go explore, it was something which would never happen. It would only remain as a nice dream.
After all, in the wild mountains, if there was not enough preparation in equipment and body fitness as a safety measure, then wild exploration was just a trip to death.
Even the worst set of outdoor equipment, clothes, backpack, tent, tools etc would add up to more than 10 thousand Yuan in total to purchase all of them.
Furthermore, even with the best equipment, the number of adventures who met their end during a wild expedition was not small.
In the deep jungle, there were too many threats to face. Without any strength and survival experience, going to such ces was just seeking disaster.
Therefore, these wild adventures were only something Wu Hao would imagine but never dare to do in the past.
However, it was different now. With godly telekinesis and spiritual perception, he could guarantee his safety even without any equipment.
Of course, if he wanted to have afortable and enjoyable adventure, a variety of outdoor equipment was still necessary.
After buying the knives, Wu Hao continued wandering around in the mall. Then, he had his lunch at a restaurant, had a short rest before decided to go back to the bus station to check in, since the time for the departure was just around the corner.
After neatly arranging his luggage, Wu Hao went aboard the bus to find his seat. With just a few nces, he easily found his seat. However, a girl was sitting on his seat.
The girl looked young. She should be less than 20 years old. Her height was around 1.7 meters. Her appearance and body shape were absolutely top notch. A pure beautiful face paired with the perfect curves. Even those beauties in Wu Haos college and those movie stars, whenpared to the girl in front of him, were slightly inferior.
This was because it was the first time for Wu Hao to be in front of such a beauty in a close range. This kind of feeling naturally cant bepared with the ones when he felt watching movie stars on the screen.
This really caught Wu Hao off guard because he never expected that a beauty would sit on his seat.
Uh! That was wrong. It should be this beauty snatched his seat instead.
When Wu Hao was holding his ticket in his right hand and stunned by her beauty, the girl who was sitting near to the window noticed Wu Haos existence. She showed a charming smile to Wu Hao while pointing at the current seat she was sitting on. Your seat here?
Uh, if this ticket seat number is correct, then it is my seat indeed. Seeing that, Wu Hao started to understand the current situation.
Oh, actually I have motion sickness. I hope you could change ce so that I can sit near a window. The girl smiled.
Yea, no problem. I am fine with sitting anywhere. Since she had already said so, plus she was a beauty, Wu Hao had nothing else to add.
Thanks! Hearing Wu Haos agreement, the girl thanked him in a polite manner and put on her headphones, listening to music while ying with her smartphone.
Wu Hao just showed a slight smile after that. Although she was a rare beauty, Wu Hao did not have any idea to start a conversation with her.
He knew that his appearance was just average. With a beauty like her, of course she wont take any fancy towards him.
Moreover, from the way she dressed and thetest smartphone which she used, her family should have a very strong financial circumstances. Compared to Wu Hao who was currently without any branded tag on his body, both of them were totally on different levels.
Since he understood this point he did not bother her. He just minded his own business and sat at the next seat and closed his eyes to practice his breathing technique.
However, if Wu Hao was topare his own sister, Wu Xiaoxiao to the beauty, as long as Xiaoxiao had a better dressing and make up, she would not be inferior to the beauty at all.
When he thought of it, Wu Hao secretly make a promise that he would get his sister lots of beautiful clothes when he earned money. With the best clothes, he would make her like a princess who was no longer need looked down upon by others.
Afterughing at himself in his heart, Wu Hao began practicing the cycle. Now, whenever he had any free time, he would activate his telekinesis and then recharge the power with the breathing technique.
Of course, to make sure that his telekinesis power is readily avable at any time, he would not use up all the power at once. Instead, he would only train till two-thirds of his power was used. Then, he would breathe with the special technique to restore the used power.
Just a moment ago, Wu Hao tried to use his telekinesis on the bus itself. With his current power which can carry up to hundreds kg object, the reaction on a dozen ton bus was very minimum.
Furthermore, when he tried to exceed the range of his capability, the consumption rate of his power was way too fast. He just released his power on the bus for a few seconds and yet 2/3 of his power had been used up.
As for why he did not continue to use his telekinesis, it was his natural reflex since he had be used to saving some of his power for unexpected situations.
Moreover, if he dried up his powerpletely, his body would have to suffer repercussions. He would feel very weak when that happens. As his telekinesis power increased, the time needed for him to recover his power would prolong too.
If he finished up his power, the current him would need at least 1 hour topletely recover back his mind power to peak condition.
If he did not use the breathing technique and depended on natural recovery, it would take him more than 10 hours.
However, the scene of Wu Hao closing his eyes and ignoring the beauty would eventually make her think differently of him.

Chapter 6: To crush with strength
Chapter 6: To crush with strength
......
Eh? This man actually did not take this opportunity to converse with me? The beauty who sat beside Wu Hao, Qin Sisi, inwardly wondered.
At first she thought that Wu Hao would be like those guys in the past. They would start talking with her without any reason and take the opportunity to ask for her contact number, Wechat etc.
After all, this time she was the one who asked if Wu Hao could change seat with her. It would be so easy for him to strike a conversation with her, but surprisingly, Wu Hao just sat there motionless while closing his eyes. He did not seem to be interested to have a chat with her from the way Wu Hao acted.
Being in such situation, Qin Sisi even started to question herself, Is it because there is something wrong with my attire today? Did it make me unattractive to look at? after all, women were strange creatures. When they were given too much attention from men, they would get sick of it too.
However, if nobody notices them, they would then suspect there was problem with their makeup, making them unattractive.
Of course for Qin Sisi, no matter what, she would always ignore those who tried to pursue her.
Qin Sisi was a second year student of Guangzhou university. The reason she went back home was because she had a family matter. Although her family was not that rich, it could still be considered a famous family.
Both her parents held a post in government positions. Furthermore, she was the only daughter in her family. Thus, she would always receive the best from them. It could even be said that she was raised like a princess since young.
However, despite all that, she still did not develop any arrogant princess syndrome. Instead, she was still a beautiful and loving girl.
Thus, Qin Sisi was a flower in her school. Of course, the number of men who pursue her was too much to count.
Soon, all the passengers were on board. The bus started to move and depart from the station, heading to the direction of Guangzhou.
Perhaps it was still not a holiday season so that there were still lots of empty seats avable. Only about two-third of the seats were upied.
A few rows in front of Wu Haos seat, there were two troublesome men. From the moment they were on the bus, they were very rude and kept conversing dirty topics.
They were either boasting of many girls they slept with or discussing which girl had a better body and techniques.
The other passengers and conductor were showing an expression of disgust towards both men. But they could guess that these men were not someone who can be messed around with. Thus, nobody dared to voice out any objection to them.
Brother Pao, behind us there is a hot chick! One of them were talking about something when he suddenly noticed Qin Sisi sitting behind and immediately shouted at hispanion.
Originally, Qin Sisi who was ying with her phone with a headset on did not notice any conversation by the two men.
But then, just now when Qin Sisi removed her headphone, she immediately heard those disgusting words. Feeling angered, she stood up a bit to have a look at in front.
Too bad that the moment she stood up, she was immediately noticed by both them. The angered Qin Sisi who wanted to teach them a lesson started to feel some fear after hearing what they said.
This was because even though she was kind and and had a heart of justice, she was after all a woman. Even worst, a beauty. Even without thinking, she knew that she would be the target of harassment from these two hooligans.
Although they were now in the bus and the two men would not do anything excessive, she would still face trouble. As she thought of this, she began to grow worried and turned her head to look at Wu Hao. This bastard was still closing his eyes. What the heck was he doing?
This guy is indeed strange. For some time he has his eyes closed. What is he doing!
However, without waiting for her to think further, the two men started to get up from their seat and walked to the back towards her.
As the bus was not packed, there were still some empty seats. Besides Wu Hao, there was a middle age woman sitting. But, the seat beside the woman was empty.
The men came to the back and sit at the aisle seat.
Hi! Pretty girl, why do you go to Guangzhou for? The journey is long,e apany this brother and have a chat. The young man who was called Brother Pao showed an ugly grin while approaching Qin Sisi who was observing the scenery outside the window.
Soon , Brother Pao noticed that Qin Sisi was ignoring himpletely. Instead of getting mad, he reached out to pat at Wu Hao on the shoulder who was sitting beside Qin Sisi. Buddy, wake up. Brother wants to change seats with you.
Brother Pao noticed that Wu Hao looked ordinary and did not have a huge body. Without even thinking about whether Wu Hao would agree to change his seat or not, he immediately took action and wanted to wake Wu Hao up.
However, Wu Hao had never slept at all. He knew everything that happened in the bus crystal clearly. It was just that he did not want to bother and quietly continued practicing his breathing technique to pass the time.
But now, those bastards were looking for trouble. Of course, he could no longer continue practising anymore.
Thus, before Brother Paos hand touched him, Wu Hao opened his eyes and immediately blocked Brother Paos hand which was originally to pat his shoulder with his grip.
I am sorry. I am feelingfortable sitting here and do not wish to change seats at all.
Hearing Wu Haos remark, everyone in the bus rose their eyebrows in session including Qin Sisi who was beside him. Her heart could not help but to praise him for his strong will. Soon, the feeling turned into a concern instead.
After all, anyone could notice that these two men were not any good guys. Hooligans were indeed hard to be handled. And these two men were obviously that type which would bring lots of trouble.
Hei! Little boy, have you even grown eyes! Brother Pao was surprised for a moment by Wu Haos remarks. His face instantly changed to a threaten expression. It seemed like as long as Wu Hao dare to say even a word, he would immediately strike him violently.
At the side, Qin Sisi after watching the scene could not help but to start worrying for Wu Hao. After all, from his appearance, Wu Hao did not seem to be able to resist any attacks from these two opponents!
Hehe. If I do not grow my eyes, then what do you guys want to do with me? Wu Hao even chuckled as he did not put these men in his eyes at all. From the way they dress, he knew that they were just good-for-nothing small fries.
With these small fries, the more you became scared, the more arrogant they be. However, if you act ruthlessly, they would be easy to deal with. Furthermore they were now in a bus. Not even mentioning the current Wu Hao who had a telekic ability, even if it were the previous him, he would not be afraid to face such a situation in dealing with small fries.
Because he believed that there were so many people who could not stand these two men. As long as he started dealing with these two men, there would be other brave men who would follow suit.
Moreover, this matter was involving a beauty. He believed that every man would not miss this opportunity to give a her a favourable impression.
F*ck! Brother Pao, this kid seem to be courting his death. Let us beat him up! The other youngster suddenly stood up and rushed toward Wu Hao, forming a fist.
At this moment, Brother Pao was burning from his anger. Almost at the same time, both of them were directing their fist towards Wu Haos direction.
This unexpected turn of event scared the hell out of Qin Sisi who was sitting beside Wu Hao. She started screaming as a reflex.
Then, a strange mysterious scene happened. What exactly did she see? Those two men who were acting arrogantly just a moment ago currently formed a human pyramid while being stepped under Wu Haos foot.
As for how did Wu Hao managed to do so, Qin Sisi was not able to see. Even all the onlookers in the bus were the same too.
Wow, such an expert! A crowd of youngsters soon eximed.
This young man, really strong. With just a single move, he subdued these small fries. Now, it was the voice of an aunt.
But these two bastards, how did they even board the bus? What had the police been doing nowadays? These two should have been captured long time ago. If not because of this young man, the girl would have to suffer instead.
......
Kai: The two hooligans have odd speech, clearly representing their gangster way of talking. I have however, changed this to be more suitable and easier to understand. If people are against me taking liberties with broken speech, doment below, and I will consider keeping it as the author intended. #thuglifechoseme
Chapter 7: Martial arts expert
Chapter 7: Martial arts expert
......
Without bothering with the passengersments, Wu Hao squinted his eyes and stared at both of them who were now squirming under his foot.
You guys still wanna change seats?
Haiz.....no, we are not changing. Big brother, we have eyes but failed to recognize Mt Tai. Please just consider us as farts and let us go! Brother Pao who originally had an arrogant attitude was now unable to move and trembling in fear.
Obviously both them were pressed on hard.
In fact, his foot did not exert any force on them. This was just acting as a camouge since he had used his telekinesis to force those two hooligans t on ground.
Because he had acted way too fast without any additional movements, it gave a misconception to the passengers on board of not being able to see how he had subdued them.
As for those two small fries, they were extremely puzzled and scared.
Because, from their perspective, they could feel an unknown overwhelming force from Wu Hao which made them fall t on ground. They were not even given any opportunity to resist.
Get the hell back to your own seat. And also if I hear any more nonsenseing out from your mouth... he did not continue his sentence. He believed that as long as those two are notplete idiots, the next several hours ride would be very peaceful without them acting as they please.
Under.....stood, big brother.... As Wu Hao still had not released the force on them, they still spoke as if they were running out of air.
Looking at those two bastards acting obediently, Wu Hao let them go. These small fries had no other ability. The only thing they are excellent at is submit to those stronger than them.
When they encounter those weaker than them, they would act like a boss. If they could not handle someone, they would immediately kneel down and lick his feet like a grandson.
Since Wu Hao understood their nature, he would not put them in his eyes.
However, after what Wu Hao did, the passengers were able to feel his domineering side and could not help but to get astonished by it.
As for Qin Sisi who sat beside Wu Hao, her mouth was opened wide while looking at him with a surprised expression. Never did she expect the ordinary looking youth who sat beside her who was not tall nor had a huge body would actually have such a domineering side.
This had been an eye opener for Qin Sisi who had live close to 20 years. It was not like she had not seen boys fighting each other. It was just that the way Wu Hao fought was too overpowering (1). It could be said that it was the first time she saw such power in her life.
Thank you. Soon, Qin Sisi recovered from the shock and opened her mouth, whispering her thanks to Wu Hao.
No problem. After all, I myself could no longer stand those two bastards. Wu Hao who had returned to his seat said casually after receiving her thanks.
I thought you were sleeping just now? Hearing such a reply from Wu Hao, she recalled back to the scene when Wu Hao had closed both of his eyes.
Nope! Wu Haos reply was very simple.
Then what were you doing with your eyes closed? Out of curiosity, Qin Sisi continued asking Wu Hao.
Er....How to say? Lets just say I was meditating on my martial art. Wu Hao did not know how to exin, so just told her half the truth.
Ar, so you are meditating on your martial art! I never expected that you are a martial art expert. Your appearance does not even look a bit like it at all. But, what martial art are you practicing? I could feel that it is much more offensive than those karate, taekwondo etc. O ya, I am Qin Sisi, second year student of Guangzhou university. What about you? You going to Guangzhou for what? Hearing his reply, Qin Sisis chatterbox nature instantly activated. She was in fact, very curious about Wu Hao.
The so called legendary martial arts master. Even though Qin Sisi had a very pretty appearance, she was after all still a blooming girl. Moreover, Wu Hao gave her a very unique feeling. He was not the same as those men who tried scoring her. It was as if he was trying to deliberately avoid her.
Noticing the originally cool beauty who was now more open and warm to him, asking him questions non stop, that really made Wu Hao not know how to answer her. Thus, he only casually replied, My name is Wu Hao, just passing by Guangzhou.
O, just passing by. Then where is your final destination? On a business trip or what?
Macao, it can be considered as a business trip. Wu Hao did not conceal anything. He felt that after getting off the bus, they most probably wont be interacting with each other anymore. Thus, he just simply answered.
Going to Macao for a business trip! Qin Sisi could not help but had a nce at Wu Hao again. She noticed that he was just wearingmon clothes and did not seem to be like a bigpanys employee.
This was because only big internationalpanies would have business trips to Macao. If he is really an employee of a bigpany, then of course, Wu Hao would not dress up like that.
Hahah! Dont tell me that you are going to Macao to gamble right? Thinking about this, Qin Sisi had a guess.
When Wu Hao heard that, he was shocked momentarily and nced at Qin Sisi who was sitting beside him with a surprised look.
Seems like my guess is correct then! Qin Sisiughed at him after she saw his surprised expression.
How did you know? Wu Hao pondered and couldnt help to ask her.
This is something simple. Of those who go to Macao, you wont be able to find anyone who is not interested in gambling. But let me give you an advice. You better cancel your ns, as I have never heard anyone who had won from there. Qin Sisi tried to persuade Wu Hao to not go Macao.
Thanks for your kindness but I might be the exception. Since she had guessed correctly that he was going to Macao to gamble, he no longer feel like denying it. Although he agreed with her point of view, he was no longer an ordinary person.
As long as he wanted to win, he would never lose.
Just like that, in the next few hours of the trip, Wu Hao spent his time chatting with Qin Sisi. (2)
However, all the topic conversations were asked by Qin Sisi and Wu Hao just answered them. Not long after, all the information regarding him were known by Qin Sisi clearly except his greatest secret of having a telekic ability.
As for Wu Hao, besides her name and where she studied, he did not know anything else about her, he felt that he was helpless in front of a beauty that even the information regarding his family, he had unknowingly told her about them.
Finally, when the bus was nearing Guangzhou, Qin Sisi on her own ord exchanged mobile phone numbers and Weibo with Wu Hao. At first, Qin Sisi even considered treating him to dinner to show her gratitude.
However, Wu Hao politely rejected her offer. This was a no joke. When a girl wants to treat a meal, as a man, of course he will pay the bill. From the way she dressed, Wu Hao was very sure she wont eat at some cheap ce. His entire assets for now, was only a few thousand Yuan.
He was afraid that after the meal, his capital for Macao would be nearly gone.
In fact, if Qin Sisi knew that he only had a few thousand Yuan for gambling, she would be even more shocked. Regarding his ie and job, Qin Sisi did not enquire that much from him.
Qin Sisi was a clever girl after all. There were some topics which were not suitable to be asked, especially a mans ie.

Chapter 8: Getting Lucky
......
After he arrived at the bus station, Wu Hao did not immediately leave the building. After all, he did not have any ns to stay in Guangzhou. Instead, he came off the tform and went to the ticket counter to purchase a departure ticket to Zhuhai.
In Maind, the nearest city to Macao is Zhuhai. These two cities can be described as just a step away from each other.
But to go to Macao, if there is no visiting pass, even if these cities are only separated by a bridge, you will obviously not be able to cross it.
To illegally cross to Macao, you would need to treat those officers to drink some tea.
Of course for the current Wu Hao, he did not have to worry about such things.
Thus, the night when Wu Hao arrived at Zhuhai, he waited until the sky was pitch ck and went to a secluded ce.
Then, he carefully confirmed that no human was around by using his spiritual perception. After confirming the situation was clear, he flew straight up the sky carrying his suitcase.
After leaping to about a few hundred meter altitude, Wu Hao started to fly towards the direction of Macao. As these two cities were not far apart from each other, Wu Hao with his flying speed close to 200km per hour, he reached the border of Macao in about 10 mins (1).
In order to avoid being noticed by anyone during hisnding, Wu Hao decided tond at a park of his choice at the outskirt of Macao. Even though it was at the outskirt, Macao after all is just a small city. Plus, it is famous for its nightlife.
Therefore, even atte night, there were still pedestrians walking along the streets.
Mister, is there any cheap hotel nearby? Wu Hao left the park and came to the street to stop a taxi driver and asked him.
He did not have much cash in his body now. Thus, he wont stay in any luxury hotel. He could only asked the taxi driver to get him to a cheaper hotel and stay for the night.
A cheap hotel, right? No problem! The middle age driver spoke with a not so urate Mandarin but Wu Hao was still barely able to interpret what he said. (2)
In about 10 minutes, the taxi then reached the main door of a hotel. Wu Hao paid the taxi fare and dragged his luggage into the hotel lobby.
After opening his rooms door and cing his luggage, Wu Hao immediately started his breathing technique to restore his telekic power.
After all, he had now officially reached Macao. Naturally, he was not in a rush to gamble at a casino. Since the current time was around two to three oclock in the morning, he was afraid there would not be many people there, even if the casino did not close.
Thus, he decided to only go to one of the big casinos during daytime. He would then observe for a while before winning several million Yuan and disappearing from there.
The next evening, after some simple preparations, Wu Hao took a taxi to thergest casino in Macao Crystal sand entertainment centre.
Prior to the trip, Wu Hao had done his research on the inte that thergest casino in Macao and also the nearest one from his hotel is this casino Crystal sand entertainment centre.
In Macao, the casinos name would not be something something casino. Instead, they would usually be named something something entertainment resort or centre.
Wu Hao chose to go at this time. The reason for doing so was because from now to a few hourster, the amount of customers in the casino would be at its peak.
In order to not attract attention from casino management, picking thergest casino with the most customers to make money from is the best option avable.
Entering the main door of the casino, Wu Hao did not blindly go and begin gambling. Instead, he changed 5000 Yuan to chips and observed the surroundings.
When he was exchanging for chips, all those gold digger females which were scattered all over the ce would naturally not go and start any conversations with Wu Hao after noticing his shabby clothes.
After about 10 minutes of observation, Wu Hao found a game which was very suitable with his idea. This game is choosing big or small using rolling dice.
To gamble big or small naturally is not something Wu Hao needs to worry about. As long as the dealer finishes rolling the dice in the dice cup, Wu Hao would use his spiritual perception and everything in the cup would be crystal clear to him.
After all, his ability allows him to see through any hollow item and know the situation inside it.
Hua......hua after the dealer finished rolling the dice, all the gamblers surrounding the betting table began to ce their bet.
Wu Hao then used his spiritual perception to see through the cup after the dealer rolled. In his mind, he could see the dice faces are 2, 3 and 5 which summed up to a total of 10 points, this represented small. (3)
After knowing the points in the cup, Wu Hao confidently put all the 5 chips in his hand on top of the small area.
Soon, after the dealer saw every customer had ced their bet, he revealed the contents of the cup.
2, 3, 5. Total of 10 points, small!
Haha! Small! I Win!
F*ck! Small again! I lost again.
With so many gamblers around the table, of course some would win while the others lost. The winner would be happy while the loser could onlyin.
The area Wu Hao was at was amon area among the gamblers. Usually, they would bet around tens of thousand each time.
In other words, those who gamble at this area were after all not that rich.
In fact, they were just like Wu Hao, using small capital to get rich.
It was just that whether they will achieve their dream or not, that would depend on their own luck.
However, most of the gamblers in the casinos would lose 9 times out of ten, only a few experts would manage to earn money.
Also, losing the whole family fortune as the gambling capital was also a norm.
Therefore, if you want to rely on your luck to gamble and not your real ability, it is best to just scrap this idea.
Wu Hao looked at his originally 5 chips, which in a blink of an eye had turned 10. Although he started to feel some excitement in his heart, Wu Hao still showed a normal face expression and silently continued his bet (4).
He did not bet on those with 10 times, or several times odds. If he did so, this would eventually bring unwanted attention to him.
Although now he only bet on big or small and only had odds of 1 times, he could not resist the temptation to bet on those with higher odds (5).
From 5000 Yuan chips, he just need to bet on those for just a few times and his capital would then increase to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
However, Wu Hao did not continuously win.
He purposely lost for a round or two after winning 3 times in a row.
Of course, when he wanted to lose, he naturally would not go all in. He would just bet for a few ten thousand chip.
And when he wanted to win, he would bet everything.
In this way, though he had not even bet for more than 30 minutes, Wu Hao who originally had 5000 Yuan had now grown his capital to about 300 thousand Yuan.
After winning so much in that one betting table , Wu Hao obviously would then left the table. Then, he walked towards a nearby betting table several tables away.
A few hourster, by winning more and losing less, Wu Hao brought therge amount of chips worth about 3 million Yuan and went to the chip exchanging counter.
Seems that I have to bother you exchanging these chips to money.
No problem, mister. Can you please show me your bank ount number? The girl who was in charge of the counter noticed that Wu Hao had won a huge sum of money and could not help herself to have a quick nce at him again. Her heart could not stop secretly thinking of this guy who had such good luck today.
Although she did not have much interaction with Wu Hao, after working in such ces for a long time, she could tell that Wu Hao was a not a rich man.
So, seeing Wu Hao brought all these chips, she naturally understood that most of them were his winnings tonight.
However, even though she was surprised, she did not care much about it.
She knew that those who made a fortune in a go would not that easily quit gambling.
Todays winning, in future would eventually vanish.
After all, these scenarios happen all the time in the casino.

(5) Kai: To gain higher odds, you would have to bet on specific numbers or a narrower range. Furthermore, I dont know what he meant by 1 times odds, I am guessing he means 2 times, (1:2) because he doubled his chips.
Yorasu : I think the author is using the amount of money he won back. If he bet 5, he would win 10 but that includes his own 5 which he forked out as capital.
Chapter 9: Forced into a corner
Chapter 9: Forced into a corner
......
Wu Hao, with an ie of 3 million yuan that night, decided to leave the casino. When he was about to do so, a sudden disturbance not far away caught the attention from everyone present.
Mister, please watch the way you act, or else dont me us for being not polite. A few security guards in suits and ck leather shoes approached an emotional youth and held him in ce.
From the looks of it, if this youth still insisted on creating a scene here, they would most probably take action.
In fact, to open such big casinos, someone must have a background with local powers who would back them up, regardless of whether said powers were ck or white.
It was very simr to this situation here. Such scene urring in casinos was not infrequent. However, those losers who were trying to make a scene in casinos would usually have a bad oue.
You guys are just mere watchdogs. Get the f*ck away from me! Today, I am gonna kill that bastard Cheng Yu Liang. How dared he work with others and cheat me! The youth kept struggling to get out from the security guards grasp. However, his physiquepared to those guards was a bit too fragile. Naturally, his struggling was in vain.
At that moment, the manager in charge of the casino rushed to the scene. Having seen the incident, he went to the guards and whispered his orders to them. Drag him out and settle it. By settle they did not mean killing, only a lesson to be remembered.
Actually, the manager pretty much understood the exact situation. Most probably during the gambling on the casino table, someone must be partnering with others and made him lose money.
This situation was toomon in this casino. This kind of closed gambling between guests were allowed here. The casino would not participate in it but just acted as middleman and charged some service fees only.
As for who win or lose among the customers did not matter to the casino. Of course, there were times when some customers would bribe the dealer and person in charge.
As for this incident today, there shouldnt be anyone from the casino involved in it.
This was because if the casino was a part of it, this man would not even have any opportunity to act as he likes at the entrance.
Those few securities with vicious expressions, after hearing the orders from the manager, naturally would not be giving this youth any face anymore. Thus, a few people suddenly dragged the youth to one of the side doors and left.
To all guests, I am extremely sorry regarding this and apologize on behalf of our entertainment centre. The customer just now probably lost lots of money, leading him to behave emotionally. Sorry again for frightening you all. The casino manager immediately exined to the onlooking gamblers after the youth had been dragged off by the security guards.
Haiz! I am afraid this man is already in such a bad luck. Yet, his brain is even worse. Such a daring youth to try mess with the casino. Some of the gamblers were able to guess the story behind the scene in their heart. However, in their opinion, even if you had been set up by people, you cant try to create a scene at the casinos entrance!
Doesnt this act only find trouble for oneself? To be able to open a casino in such ces like Macao, which one of them would not have some deep background?
Even if you are someone rich with billions to spend, you go to casino and gamble happily, of course the casino management will treat you like a god. However, if you purposely try to create trouble, then they wont give you too much face.
Soon, the onlooking gamblers began to disperse from the entrance. At the moment, in the lounge of the second floor, a few people within the same age range as the youth observed the scene and sneered among themselves.
Hmmpphh! This idiot. He thought he was still like before, the rich young master? How dare he try to create a scene in the casino! This youth was Cheng Yuliang. The few other youths beside him were his aplices. But the major credit would be to the one guy who was a gambler master from some Japanese organisation.
This gambling expert from Japan was someone specially invited by Cheng Yuliang through his family to specifically set up this trap. The purpose of this trap is to secretly attack the Liang family and thus, seeding in one of the aims.
Liang Shirong, the only legal sessor of Liang family, was a second generation who indulged in his fortune. Normally, Liang Shirong would not rage over losing in gambling.
However, this time it was different. Not only did he lose several hundred million Yuan, but also his share in the Liang family business empire had been used as coteral.
And this private gambling was something Cheng Yuliang had nned properly and seeded in convincing Liang Shirong to take part in it. As for the final result, of course you could naturally imagine it.
Though he had lost money and shares, Liang Shirong still hadnt lost his rationality yet. He then tried calling his dad and asking for his help. It was then when he received an even more miserable news.
That was his family business empire had gone bankrupt. Even his dads current whereabouts were unknown. At this stage, even if Liang Shirong was a retard, he could guess the true story behind these actions. That was why he was raging and creating a scene.
Wu Hao who was mixed within the crowd, did not quite understand the specific details after spectating the scene. However, watching Hong Kong films about casinos for so many years gave him some rough ideas of what exactly happened.
"Never did I imagine that the scene which only appears in movies yed out in front of me. Wu Hao could only helplessly sigh. A sigh is still a sigh. He did not have any ideas of involving himself in this matter and act like a hero.
He knew that although he had some godly superpower, he still had not reached the realm of invincibility.
This kind of battle, it was better for him to stay further away. Moreover, that youth was brought down in a casino. He really could not me anyone else. The only person he could be mad at should be himself for being addicted to gambling.
Otherwise, how could he lose all his family fortune? Thus, for these kind of people, no sympathy is worthy for them.
At the backdoor of the casino, the security guards who dragged Liang Shirong began to throw him onto the ground and kicked him continuously.
Okay, okay! Stop hitting him. If this still goes on, I am afraid that he would pass away right here. The head of the security guards said.
F*ck! This retard, how dare he try to create a mess in our casino! Although those security guards had stopped their actions, their mouth was still very active cursing him.
Like them who worked as security guards in casino, though it was a legal job, they would still somehow have some ck elements in their nature.
When they were working in the casino, of course they had to maintain their honest appearance. However when nobody was around, their true nature would surface.
In the end, those security guards left the scene. The only one remaining there was Liang Shirong, struggling to stand up from the ground.
Cheng Yuliang, I will never let you have a happy life. Although the former young master who spent whatever he wanted was now hit to the very bottom and became penniless, a hatred started to form deep in his heart.
Then, slowly, Liang Shirong supported himself and left the casino. As for where was he heading to, only he himself knew.

Chapter 10: Equipment purchase
......
After watching the scene with a spectator-like attitude, Wu Hao quietly left the casino. To him, winning 3 million Yuan was more than enough. After all, he did not put too much hope in fishing up a fortune via gambling. Using such methods to generate mountains of profit would only cause unnecessary trouble instead.
With his telekinesis and spiritual perception, gambling was not the only way for him to earn money. After leaving the casino, Wu Hao did not immediately return to the hotel. Instead, he went to arge shopping mall in Macao to buy some equipment. On the way to Macao, Wu Hao had already decided to buy a set of high quality outdoor equipment. It was just that he had no money at that time. Now, with 3 million Yuan in his bank, he would definitely get himself nice and good quality outdoor equipment. At the same time, he nned to buy some gifts for his parents and sister at home.
Macao, besides being recognized as one of the ces with the best casinos, it is also a shoppers paradise. Just name any international brand you know and as long as it exists, you will be able to find it in theserge shopping malls in Macao.
Wee to our shop, mister. Is there anything you are looking for? After reaching the destination and walking towards an outdoor goods shop, a salesgirl greeted him with a warm wee.
Yea, I want a set of the best outdoor equipment. Wu Hao was not picky about his outdoor equipment set. Sincest time, Wu Hao was very interested to explore the wilds but due to certain circumstances, he had to just keep it in his heart. Never did he imagine that one day his dream woulde true. Although he did not understand much about outdoor equipment, he knew that picking up the most expensive one wont be that terrible in quality no matter what.
After hearing such words from Wu Hao, the salesgirls face immediately shined. She treated him even much better than just now. Just like that, after half an hour of introduction and selection, Wu Hao finally managed to get himself a full set of outdoor equipment. The equipment which he bought included several sets of outdoor attire, tent, backpack and alsomon surviving tools. Not only that, Wu Hao also got himself thetest rugged smartphone and a satellite navigation tool.
The reason he bought a navigation tool was as a precaution if he became lost while flying. Although his smartphone did have a GPS feature, how could itpete with the uracy of a tool specialized in navigation? In addition to a navigation tool, Wu Hao also bought an outdoor high definition camera which could take photographs and record videos. With this, when he explores the wild, he could keep a memory of the beautiful scenery and animals. Finally, he came across a very cool gadget in the shop. It was a notebook with 3 in 1 features, shockproof, waterproof and dustproof. This kind of notebook, Wu Hao had only seen it in movies.
Moreover, even if he came across it Wu Hao would still not able to afford it. This was because this type of notebook costs at least 200k Yuan. From a brief introduction by the salesgirl, Wu Hao immediately like this notebook. His main interest was its durability during outdoor activities. Besides that, the performance of this notebookpared to current topptops in the market was better by several times. And the most important features it has was besides being waterproof and dustproof, it had a long battery life. But this made the notebook very thick. From Wu Haos estimation, at least half of its volume was upied by the battery cells.
In the end, after finishing up his purchase in the shop, the ount bank of Wu Hao had shrank in a blink of an eye. In this trip, he had spent more than a few hundred thousand Yuan.
All the newly purchased equipment had been stuffed inside the backpack until it was packed. He was then forced to buy a slightly smaller backpack before finishing storing all the equipment.
Of course, Wu Hao had removed all the wrapping. If the wrapping was included, perhaps another two backpacks would be needed before being able to store thempletely.
The weight of all the items summed up would be roughly 60 kg. When the store boss and staff saw how easily Wu Hao carried the backpack, they were very surprised.
This man has such a monstrous strength. He is indeed worthy to engage himself in outdoor adventures.
In fact, Wu Haos strength was just ordinary. It was thanks to his telekinesis that he was able to carry the two backpacks with ease. In his current condition, Wu Hao could carry a maximum of 300 kg by using his telekinesis. He estimated that in a few days, he would be able to increase his maximum weight to 400 kg. With such an abnormal ability, carrying stuff which only weighed 60 plus kilograms, it was too easy a feat.
After finishing his purchase there, Wu Hao went to another store in the shopping mall to get some presents for his parents and sister.
Clothes are just toomon as a gift. Furthermore, it was not easy for him to buy that. After all, he had not gone back home for more than a year. Even his sister must have grown up quite a bit by now. Thus, he did not want to risk buying something which might not fit them.
In the end, Wu Hao decided to buy a mechanical tool for his parents. The price was not that expensive, only about few tens of thousand. Wu Hao was not reluctant to spend more money on them. He was just afraid that his parents might know about the price tag and would then be unwilling to use the tool to aid their work. Instead, they would carefully hide it.
As for his own sister, he bought her thetest Fruit smartphone, smartwatch andptop. (1) Wu Hao had to admit that theptop model of Fruit was really stylish and suited to be used by females. They not only beautiful appearance, their performance was also on par with the other topptops in market.
Mister, do you need us to help deliver these products? We can ask the malls staff to send them to your hotel free of charge.
Inside the Fruit concept store, the salesgirl noticed that Wu Hao was already upied with the two backpacks and asked him.
Nah, its alright. Just remove the boxes and help me to put them inside the backpack. So that I can still move around while carrying them. Wu Hao smiled and politely declined her goodwill.
The watch and phone did not upy much space. Only theptop was a bother. However, in the smaller backpack there was still some space left. It should be enough to make some room for theptop.
Alright The salesgirl was surprised after hearing Wu Haos remark. However she did not ask any further. She quickly removed the boxes and put them carefully into the backpack. Although this backpack was considered small in size, if it waspared with other backpacks in market, it was not small at all.
It was just that the length of the other backpack was 1.5 meters. As for it, it was just barely over 1 meter in length. Naturally, it would be regarded as small.
After the salesgirl carefully stored theptop into the backpack, she secretly tried the weight of the backpack and found that it was so difficult to lift even for abit.
In her heart, she could not help but to be shocked at how powerful Wu Hao was. Soon, Wu Hao carried those backpacks and left the store. The salesgirl then eximed to the other staff.
This guy has extraordinary strength. You know, those two backpacks are extremely heavy and yet, he carried them as if they are nothing.
Real or not?! I thought in those backpacks were just filled with cotton! Those other staffs were not clear about it. Thus, they did not expect that the backpacks of Wu Hao were actually loaded with heavy objects.

Yorasu: I am sure you all know what fruit is that
Chapter 11: Ready to buy a car
Chapter 11: Ready to buy a car
......
After leaving the mall, Wu Hao quickly got on a taxi which drove him back to the hotel. Since the hotel was quitefortable to live in, he did not bother with changing residence. After all, he wont be staying in Macao for too long.
This kind of speed in spending money is indeed too fast! Just a quick shopping trip, I have already spent almost 1 million Yuan. Tomorrow, should I go to another casino and win back some money? Wu Hao, who was now lying on the bed could not help but to have a bitterugh in his heart.
Originally, he thought that by winning 3 million Yuan should be enough for him to spend for a while. Who would have thought that in just a day, he would have already spent nearly one third of his winnings.
ording to his n, besides having some money for him to spend during his adventures, he also wished to leave a sum of money for his parents. Not only that, he also hoped to spend some on reconstruction of his old house and repair the vige road leading to the nearby town.
His home was located at Sanxi Town which is nearby to Qinling mountain range. Within these recent years, with the help of local authorities, a road had been built from the vige to the nearby town.
However on rainy days, this road would be disastrous. Dont need to mention cars, even a motorcycle would not be able to pass through the road. To put it in other words, it was basically a dried river bed during normal days. Besides digging the soil to make it look like a road, there was really nothing else.
Actually, the state government had announced that they would upgrade the road. But after several years, there was still no news regarding this matter.
Thus, Wu Hao thought that why doesn''t he spend his money to upgrade the road. After all, it was only a few kilometers long road. If he builds amon vige cement road, a few hundred thousand Yuan should be more than enough.
Thinking of this, Wu Hao finally made his decision. His remaining 2 million Yuan certainly wont be enough for all this.
Furthermore, he was not going to win ton of cash at the same casino. He felt that as long as he just won a few million Yuan in every casino, that should be safe and not attract any unwanted attention.
En! Let us decide it like that then. After deciding, Wu Hao immediately spent the rest of his time training his ability.
......
With just a duration of two days, Wu Hao had visited several big casinos in Macao. Carrying his two backpacks and additional of 10 million in his bank ount, he came to a secluded park near a seaside. He was just waiting for an opportunity to leave Macao.
It went ording to Wu Haos n without any trouble. He went to different casinos every time and the highest winning he had was only about two to three million Yuan per casino. That was why he did not attract any attention from the casino management.
Then, after he won about 10 million Yuan, he immediately halted his operation. After all, with this money, it was more than enough for him to either build the road or even improve his home condition.
Moreover, Wu Hao spent his spare time during those two days to do his research online regarding valuable herbs. Now, Wu Hao had some idea in identifying some of themon herbs. For example, wild ginseng, lingzhi mushrooms etc.
He understood that Sanxi town was only located at the periphery of Qinling mountain range. But since he had the ability to fly, even if he had to travel from his home to the depth of Qinling mountain range, the journey would only take him several hours.
Thus, in the future if hecks money, he could just fly there and find some easy money.
In the market, a few hundred years old wild ginseng could fetch up to several million Yuan.
For ordinary people, trying to find wild ginseng might be an impossible feat.
But for someone who has telekinesis and spiritual perception like Wu Hao, he just needs some time and he would definitely would be able to find it.
Time quickly flew by until it was just past midnight. After detecting that nobody was around the area, Wu Hao took this opportunity, with the help of the darkness he flew up high in the sky while carrying two huge backpacks.
With those backpacks and his weight added together, it came close to nearly 200kg. Although this weight would consume his power at quite a worrisome rate, flying from Macao to Zhuhai should not be a problem for him.
This was because these two cities were somewhat close to each other. Even if Wu Hao picked some random secluded ce at the corner of the city, it would only take him about a 10 minutes flight.
Once he arrived at Zhuhai, Wu Hao did not go straight to a hotel. Instead, he just spent the night at the park where hended. When dawn was arrived, Wu Hao then found himself a driver who ran a private car service. After paying the fees, the driver drove him all the way to Guangzhou.
Wu Hao was not reluctant to spend some cash on getting a car. Since he had too much things to carry around, travelling in a public transport was not a good idea. Anyway, he was notcking any money now. Besides saving him a lot of trouble, a car could even travel faster too. From Zhuhai to Guangzhou at high speed with car, the journey only took a little more than an hour to reach the destination, Baiyun airport.
To reach his home from Guangzhou, the destination was exactly a full 1000km. Although he could use his telekinesis and slowly travel back home, it was still a difficult task to do so with his current ability.
Moreover, he was carrying a lot of stuff. Plus, in order to not be found out by people on the ground, he could only fly at night.
To carry such a huge load, he needed as least several days to travel such a long distance or it would be an incredibly challenging feat.
Taking into ount these factors, Wu Hao naturally decided to choose the fastest and mostfortable way back home.
Since he had money, of course he would buy a first ss seat. As for the treatment he received in his first ss seat, it was something you dont have to describe.
Although this was the first time Wu Hao took a flight and never sat on an economy seat before, with his spiritual perception, basically the panoramic view of the whole ne was seen by him.
Thus, the differences between the first ss and economy ss seats were naturally allpared by him. Just the differences in the stewardess between these two ss were so obvious. The stewardess in charge of first ss seat was so many times more attractive than ordinary stewardesses. Also, the food prepared for the passengers in first ss seat looked more extraordinary and were abundant in choices too.
Basically, as long as your request is something within their services, any food or item you need, the stewardess will get it ready for you with a smile.
When the ne arrived at Chengdu airport, Wu Hao met some trouble yet again after getting off the ne. His home from Chengdu airport was still hundreds of kilometers away. For the trip, he would need to change cars several times.
Seems that I need a chartered car again? However, my home is so far away. Even the road to the vige is so hard to drive on. I am afraid that nobody is willing to help me deliver these backpacks home. After thinking for some time, Wu Haos eyes shone suddenly.
Ya, right! Why do I need a chartered car? I could just buy a car myself. With my telekinesis and spiritual perception, I can still manage to drive it even though without any experience in driving before. Yes, I have to buy a car!
Wu Hao then walked out of the airport and stopped a taxi.
Brother, where you want to go? The driver was about 30 year old and dressed up in quite a fashionable attire. Since he could see Wu Hao was young too, he was naturally able to be friendlier.
To the biggest automobile centre of Chengdu! Wu Hao directly told the driver his destination.
Automobile centre? No problem! That middle age driver did not really care about his motive and just happily drove his taxi to thergest automobile centre.
Chapter 12: Act like a snob
Chapter 12: Act like a snob
......
During their journey to the automobile centre, the taxi driver kept conversing with Wu Hao. However, most of the time it was Wu Hao who listened instead of talking.
Just like that, about half an hourter, they arrived within the bounds of the automobile centre. As the centre covers a huge area, the driver then asked Wu Hao.
Hey, brother! Where do you want me to drop you?
Actually, when the taxi entered into the range of the automobile centre, Wu Hao had already started to observe the centre. Hearing the drivers question, since he had already mapped nearly everything about the centre, Wu Hao spoke directly to the driver, Just drop me at the car shop right over there!
The driver then looked at the direction pointed by Wu Hao. Isnt that Mercedes-Benzs sales shop!!!
Brother, you are noting here to buy a car right? The driver was surprised. After all, from his perspective, Wu Hao doesnt seem to be someone who could afford to buy a Mercedes-Benz!
He just thought that Wu Haos house was located somewhere near to the automobile centre.
Coming to automobile centre, if not to buy a car thene here for what? Wu Hao sneered and replied casually.
No, no. I do not mean anything bad. I am just a bit curious. Fearing that Wu Hao might despise him, the driver quickly exined.
Within the duration of their conversation, the taxi stopped in front of entrance of the car shop.
After Wu Hao paid the fee and carried his two backpacks down, the driver secretly eximed, This world really has any type of people. This was the very first time I saw someone carry along so much stuff to buy a car. Furthermore, he is going to buy a Benz. Even if he wanted to show off, couldnt he tone down a bit? Rich mens world is something hard to understand.
Looking at Wu Hao carrying those huge backpacks towards the car shops entrance, the driver could not help but sigh.
Not only the driver was surprised. Even the security guard at the entrance and those salesman looking through the ss wall from inside were secretly tongue wagging with such scene in front of their eyes.
Is this person crazy? How could he bring so many things here to buy a car? Also look at the way he dresses. Is that even someone who could afford to buy a Benz?! A salesgirl showed a disgusted expression.
Salesman like them usually have a very good insight on someone based on their appearance. However, today these people are destined to judge incorrectly.
Entering the shop, Wu Hao found that there were a lot of staff there looking at him. However, nobody came to greet him as if he was not weed there.
When Wu Hao decided to walk with his backpacks towards the direction of front counter, a little girl ran with small steps to him.
Hi, mister. What type of model are you looking for? Li Xiaoyun asked Wu Hao with a professional smile. She was still an intern at the car dealer. Although she had worked there for more than 2 months, there were still many things which she was not familiar with. Coupled with herck of sense in analyzing the situation, her sales performance was still a bit fat zero after 2 months plus.
Her 3 months internship was about to end. If she was still not able to make a deal, she would most probably have to say goodbye to her job.
Wu Hao looked at the young girl in front of him. Although she was beautiful, she was somehow immature. From one look, he could gues that she must have only recently started working.
You guys here have the G500 model? I wanna have a look at it. Since someone was there to greet him, of course he would not be shy to say his need. As for those who were masking their disdainful thoughts with polite smiles, Wu Hao was toozy to even nce at them.
As for this G500 model, Wu Hao came across it through an online channel about risk taking. The founder of the channel apparently had two modified Mercedes G500.
This program was an instant hit in inte atunch. Basically, in the program, there was a couple, husband and wife leading a team and travelled around Middle East from the capital city with an adventure in the middle of a war.
In the past, Wu Hao had always been envious of those who get the opportunity to explore all around the world and feel the differences. He fantasized that one day he would be joining an exploration team for a risky journey.
But Wu Hao was very clear about this. Not anyone could just randomly join an expedition.
Thus, this idea was also the same as the other dream of adventuring in the wild. He could only think about it in his heart.
When Wu Hao decided to buy a car, the first model which came across his mind was the modified Merz G500. This was because in the current market, this model is the top notch among off-road vehicles.
Of course, the G500 in the program had already been modified. Aspared to the stock G500, of course it wont be as great in performance.
However, to drive through that shitty road to his home with this car would not pose any problem at all.
When Li Xiaoyun heard Wu Haos request, she was obviously shocked for a bit. She then proceeded to confirm with Wu Hao again. Mister, you want to have a look at G500?
Yea! Is there any problem?
O! No, no, no problem! worrying that she might say something wrong, Li Xiaoyun quickly exined.
However, when Li Xiaoyun was ready to bring Wu Hao to the other side of the hall to look at the car, a discordant voice came out of nowhere.
Haha! Little girl, you wanna bring people to see car also you have to see their situation first. Look at him, girl. Does he look like someone who can afford a car? G500?! At first nce I could already guess he is a country bumpkin. I really do not understand how the security here works. Letting any random guy enter the shop. Dont you think it would disturb us when we are looking at cars? A 30 year old plus fat man voiced out. Apanying him was a youngdy with face full of heavy makeup.
Just one look and anyone would be able to guess she must be from some nightclub which this fatty had brought along.
Aiyo, let us ignore this bumpkin. I thought you promised to bring me here to view car?! That girl said with a flirting voice. Once Wu Hao heard her voice he felt like vomiting.
He really could not stand the look of this woman. With such thick makeup on her face, is she trying to scare everyone around her to death?
However, hearing such remarks from the fatty, Wu Hao naturally could not just act like nothing happened.
Hehe! Whether I can buy or not, open your dog eyes and have a look. Then you would know right? Wu Hao, finishing this sentence did not even spare a second nce at the fatty. Instead, he turned towards Li Xiaoyun which was next to him and told her, I think I am not going to look at the car. Do you have the white model? If you do, I want the car then. Get it done immediately as I want the car now.
A! White color, I have to ask my manager to know whether we still have them in stock or not. Li Xiaoyun hearing this somehow had a dyed reaction.
Just then, a middle aged man quickly rushed to the scene. While smiling, he said, Mister, rest assured. We do have the white model here.
Thats good then. You are the manager right? Then, ask your staff to handle it faster. I still need to go home! O ya, this girl was the one promoting to me just now. Just let her handle it then. Wu Hao pointed at Li Xiaoyun while talking to the manager.
Okay, mister. No problem! The manager smiled at Wu Hao andmanded Li Xiaoyun who was still dazed. Xiaoyun, quickly go and prepare the contract for this gentleman here.
A! Okay, manager! Li Xiaoyun, hearing themand from the manager immediately rushed to get the contract with a hint of a blush on her face.
However, that fatty with a big mouth showed an expression of constipation. With his gloomy face, he thought in his heart. Act, continue acting then. I want to seeter what are you going to pay with.
......
Chapter 13: Head and face filthy with grime
Chapter 13: Head and face filthy with grime
......
Obviously the fatty did not believe that Wu Hao could afford such a price tag; one million plus, nearing two million Yuan for such a luxury car.
His own Mercedes-Benz car, although it was also worth more than one million, that did not mean that he was very rich.
Because in today''s society, those driving a luxury car in the street, some of them might even have negative assets! All the money spent was borrowed from the bank after all.
For example, this fatty was one of those people. Today, he brought along the girl to the car dealership without any desire in buying a car at all.
This girl was just someone fatty chatted with a few days ago through Wechat. After ying around for a few times, he could no longer stop the urge in himself. Thus, today his idea in bringing the girl to the car dealer was just to keep her in suspense.
As for buying her a Benz? He was not an idiot or a retard. How could he buy a Benz just to win the heart of a random girl? (E/N: So hes trying to make it look like he''s a sugar daddy yet he has no money for the hunnies smh)
Li Xiaoyun worked efficiently. In just one trip, she had brought a contract in her hands in front of Wu Hao and the manager. Wu Hao just nced at the contract and was ready to sign it. Then, he took out his bank card to pay the full amount.
Later when I go back, I will drive it right away. That shouldnt be a problem right?
No problem, Mr. Wu. After we finish our final tests on the car and attach a temporary number te, you can just drive it right away. Just that I might have to bother mister to return back the temporary te after settling the number te. The manager qas obviously willing to entertain Wu Haos request since he had already paid the full amount.
Moreover, Wu Haos requirement was somethingmon to them. This was because all the guests in this shop were mostly willing to pay the full amount. Basically, they would also request to drive the car right away.
Thus, for the procedure and testing etc, they would definitely do it in the simplest and fastest manner. This was done to make sure that not much of the customers time was wasted.
Then thats good. Now bring me to the car for some test drive! Although Wu Hao had obtained his driver''s licensest year, he had never really driven a car on the road by himself. Plus, this G500 had a lot of functions which he needed to familiarize himself with. Thus, now was the best time for him to get used to it.
However, the whole process of Wu Hao signing the contract was seen by the fatty. Originally, he wanted to look at how Wu Hao shamed himself but he ended up standing there like a clown instead. The other customers who were looking at cars and even the staffs were quietly whispering to each other.
Husband, lets go and look at the car! Noticing his ck facial expression, the girl beside the fatty started to act cute again.
Look your mum! Move the f*ck aside! Hearing the girls voice, the fatty immediately raged. He threw the girls hand and walked away in a rush manner.
Wu Hao, who was on his way to test his car, sneered after he heard the footstep from his rear. He just ignored them and did not add in any words. In his view, that fatty was just an ignorant clown.
Reaching at the open space behind, Wu Hao had a quick test drive apanied by one of the staff there. He was somehow able to familiarize himself with the operations of the car. In addition to his spiritual perception, Wu Hao was able to drive the car with ease.
After the test drive ended, all the relevant procedures had beenpleted and temporary license te added on by the car dealership to ease the process.
Once all the business was done, Wu Hao did not wish to stay any longer. He ced his two backpacks in the back of the car and then left the shop by driving his fresh new car.
After Wu Hao left the shop, Li Xiaoyun was still in a dreamlike state. Never had she thought that her very first deal and transaction would actually be worth two million Yuan.
Based on her performance just now by weing Wu Hao properly, not only did had she received a generous bonus, she was also immediately hired by the manager to be a formal sales staff.
For Li Xiaoyun, the bonus and her job were both very important.
With this bonus, I am one step closer to being able afford the cost of mums operation. Li Xiaoyun secretly thought, her heart was sincerely grateful to Wu Hao.
After all, the reason she was able to be promoted to a regr employee and get the samemission rate as the official sales staff was all because Wu Hao spoke for her.
Otherwise, although she could still get a bonus, that would only follow the rate of temporary worker.
Wu Hao left the car centre. He opened the cars built in navigation system. Then, he punched in his address and drove his car ording to the navigation systems suggested route back.
Mercedes-Benz G500 not only had a tough domineering outer appearance, even the drive was also veryfortable. After all, this was a top of the line SUV. Naturally, all other models could not bepared with.
En! Today is Friday, right? My sister should be on holiday then. If its like that, let me go visit her study ce then! Wu Haos sister was studying at a boarding school. Because the house was far from the school, and her family did not have a car, usually she would spend her weekend in the school dormitories.
Most of the time, she would only go back home once a month. Now, since they now had a car and tomorrow was weekend too, Wu Hao decided to take his sister for a trip back home.
From Chengdu to Sanyuan city, there were high speed expressway. Wu Hao started to depart at noon and reached Sanyuan city at only 6 oclock. Since Wu Hao only knew his sisters name and ss but not contact number, he was forced to go to the schools main gate and asked the security guard for help.
Hello, uncle. I would like to ask where are the year 2 ss 3 ssrooms at? I want to find the second year Wu Xiaoxiao. I am her brother, Wu Hao.
The security guard looked at Wu Hao closely. With some doubts, he said,You came to find your sister? Then why didnt you inform her before hand?
O! My sister still does not have a cellphone yet.
Hearing this, the guard uncle didnt believe him at all. After all, dont even mention high school students, even almost all junior high school students have a mobile phone.
From the look of it, he guessed Wu Haos wasn''t that old, yet he said he wanted to find his own sister. Thus, he considered Wu Hao as someone who wasing to the school trying to hook up with schoolgirls. Furthermore, these cases were something he had seen countless times. This school was one of the best on the city. The management of the school was extremely strict about the safety of the students. In order to have ess to enter the schoolpound, all students must show their student card. Even the staffs all had their own card too. As for the outsiders, they were prohibited from entering.
Uncle, I really came here to fetch my sister. Really, I did not lie at all. Wu Hao said in a very helpless tone. He knew that nowadays all students basically had a mobile phone. It was just that his sister was not someone who wanted topare with others.
At the same time, she knew that her family economic status was not good. Thus, she said that she was still young and usually had nobody important to talk to. Plus, having a mobile phone might hinder her concentration in studying. Until now, she did not let her family get a mobile phone for her.

Chapter 14: Finding someone to run errand
......
The guard of course did not believe Wu Haos exnation. He reacted with a ferocious tone, Even if you really came for your sister, you still cant enter here. Our school prohibits any outsider from entering the schoolpound casually. Furthermore, they are going to have self-study right now. You better get away!
Self-study? I thought today is Friday. The school is not on holiday? Hearing the unfriendly reply of the guard, Wu Hao felt a bit bitter. After all, he was only here for his sister.
Yea, it is holiday but those who stay at school will have self-study during the evening. You arent even familiar with our school schedule and you are telling me youre here for your sister? Quickly get lost now. The guard acted as if he was impatient. He was already famous for being someone hard to deal with. Every outsider could not get past this obstacle to enter the school.
Even if they are the students of this school, they would still be locked outside the gate if there is no student ID card with them. They would then have to notify others to take the card for them or ssroom teacher. Otherwise, they would have to wait outside as penalty!
Encountering this old man which insisted on barring him from entering, Wu Hao felt really helpless.
Just at that moment, Wu Hao caught sight of several students watching from the sideline. His heart immediately had an idea.
That student, can youe over here for a moment?
Not far from the gate, there was a male student with shy looking face. Although he did feel suspicious hearing the call from Wu Hao, he still walked towards the main gate.
You called me?
Yup, youre the one I am looking for. Do you know where the year 2 ss 3 ssroom is located? Wu Hao asked with a smile.
I know! The shy boy thought silently, isnt year 2 ss 3 ssroom the one next door!
Then do you know Wu Xiaoxiao from that ss? I am her brother. This 100 Yuan is for you. As long as you inform her and bring her here, I will give you additional 200 Yuan. Wu Hao smiled before took out 100 Yuan and directly gave it to the shy boy.
The shy boy dazedly looked at the 100 Yuan in his hand. 100 Yuan is about half of his living expenses for a month. Never did he expect that by just passing on a message would get him so much money.
What? Boy, you are not willing? Then what about I add an additional 100 Yuan? Wu Hao thought that the boy wasining about such little money. He then took out another 100 Yuan note and put it in the hand of the boy.
At this moment, the boy finally recovered from his daze. Ai! No, it is not little. I will go pass this message now. The boy said excitedly and rushed to a distant teaching block.
This scene was seen by the guard at the side. With his big round eyes, he stared at them and could not help but to curse in his heart. This kid, willing to spend money ya? From the way he dresses, he doesnt seem to be someone rich!
With an additional 200 Yuan in his pocket, the shy boy excitedly came to the year 2 ss 3 ssroom. Through the window, he looked around the ss and not longter, he found the figure of Wu Xiaoxiao.
Although he is not in the same ss as Wu Xiaoxiao, he is still studying next door. Plus, Wu Xiaoxiao is a pretty girl. Beautiful girls will always be in the middle of attention no matter where.
Moreover, majority of the second year students including male and female more or less have heard of and seen Wu Xiaoxiao before. Of course, this shy boy was not an exception.
Student Wu Xiaoxiao, can youe out for a moment? Your brother is waiting at the school gate to find you. He asked me to pass this message to you! The shy boy with a deep breath shouted loudly at Wu Xiaoxiao who was in the middle of studying after gathering his courage.
Of course his shout caught the attention of others too.
Xiaoxiao, someone is calling you! A girl with rounded face sitting beside Wu Xiaoxiao whispered to her. However, she did not feel surprised at all since these scenes had happened countless times in the past.
Hearing the shout from the shy boy saying that her brother is waiting at the gate, Wu Xiaoxiao was indeed suspicious. But, she still stood up and walked outside to rify the boys statement.
You say my brother is looking for me? Then, briefly exin his appearance for me.
This.......your brothers look is much more ordinary! This shy boy was having difficulties in describing his appearance. Plus, Wu Xiaoxiao was so pretty. The young man iming to be her brother was so ordinary looking and did not have a big figure. No matter how you look at it, you would never be able to rte this young man to Wu Xiaoxiao who was so attractive.
Hearing the boys mumbling reply, Wu Xiaoxiao still felt suspicious in her heart. However, she decided to have a look at the main gate. If this boy told her that the man was tall and handsome, she would certainly not bother at all.
This was because she did not have any tall and handsome brother. She only had a loving brother with an ordinary face.
Xiao Wen, I wanna go out for a moment. Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoxiao informed the girl with a rounded face next to her.
Let me apany you, I have never seen your brother before! The girl named Xiao Wen had a littleugh to herself and followed Wu Xiaoxiao, leaving the ssroom.
Along the way, the shy boy apanied them. It was just that during the walk, he did not open his mouth at all to start a conversation. He was originally a very shy person. To be able to shout and call someone out in front of so many students was also because of the courage that Wu Hao gave him through the 200 Yuan.
Soon, when Wu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wen were about to reach the main gate, they saw the figure of Wu Hao outside the gate. Confirming that the figure was her own brother, Wu Xiaoxiao happily ran to him.
Bro, it is really you! Why have youe to my school to find me?
Hehe! I just came back from another city. After noticing that today is Friday and that you should be on a holiday now and ya, Ie here to have a look at you. At the same time, I came to bring you home. Wu Hao smiled.
Then looking at the shy boy behind Wu Xiaoxiao, he thanked the boy. This boy, thanks for your help. And this, the rest of the money.
A! No need. You already gave me 200 Yuan just now. The shy boy immediately rejected his offer. This was because after he found out that he is really Wu Xiaoxiaos brother, the boy somehow felt wrong to ept so much money from him.
Bro, why did you give him so much money! Looking at Wu Hao taking out 200 Yuan, Wu Xiaoxiao asked him in a whispered tone.
Nothing, just that I asked his help to call you out. Help me give this money to him. Your brother has already promised him!
O! Although in her heart she somehowined about Wu Haos spending his money wastefully, she still took the money and handed it to the boy.
O ya, Xiaoxiao, go quickly and pack your stuff. In a moment, we are going back home! I will wait for you here. Wu Hao then voiced out after he saw her handing the money to the shy boy.
Go home? Its already sote, where are we going to find a car! Also, since I stayed back at school, I need to self-study! Wu Xiaoxiao was speechless at her own brothers suggestion.
Still want to self-study? Dont tell me you need to attend lessons tomorrow?.
Of course there is no school tomorrow. Just that we who stay back at school need to self-study in the evening every Friday at the ssroom. Wu Xiaoxiao exined.
Since there is no ss tomorrow, then this evenings self-study you can just skip. Let us go home together.
Bro, you have a fever? Right now its sote, where are we going to find a car! Wu Xiaoxiao said with aining tone.
Hehe! As for this, rest assured. Your bro actually drove here. No matter howte it is, we can still go home. Go faster, I will wait for you. Wu Hao smiled.
You drove a car here? Wu Xiaoxiao looked at her brother suspiciously. Since her brother did not seem like he was joking, she then opened her mouth. Okay. Then I will inform my teacher for the leave.
Chapter 15: The teacher’s conversation
Chapter 15: The teacher¡¯s conversation
......
Soon, Wu Xiaoxiao left the school gate to get her leave from the teacher. On the way there, Xiao Wen, who kept her mouth shut the whole time, finally asked, Xiaoxiao, is he really your brother? Why are the both of you totally not alike at all?!
If not alike, then what? It doesnt matter whether or not were alike. In short, he is my brother, thats enough. Wu Xiaoxiao replied with dissatisfaction. She hated listening to this the most.
This was because since young until they grew up, as long as she was together with Wu Hao, they would be questioned by others like this. Thus, Wu Xiaoxiao was already fed up with such topic.
I was just a bit curious. She noticed the annoyance of Wu Xiaoxiao therefore Xiao Wen quickly exined herself. Her home conditions with Wu Xiaoxiao were pretty simr. That was why they were both living in the same room and naturally ended up as good friends.
Well, I am not angry with you, Xiao Wen. It was just that since I was young, I often heard this question and got tired of it. Wu Xiaoxiao held Xiao Wens hand and smiled.
En! I know, but really, your brother is so rich! Hes just passing a message to you and yet, he is willing to give so much money. Tell your brother next time, just find me to pass the message to you. Let me earn some extra money! Xiao Wen excitedly said as she thought of this.
Youre saying this! Until now, I still feel bad in my heart. I really dont understand what my brother is thinking. Wu Xiaoxiaoined once again after hearing it.
Xiaoxiao, I think you are thinking too much about it. Your brother must have made a fortune outside or how could he be so generous! O ya, what does your brother do out in the world?
Im not quite sure about his job but my brother majored in building construction. He had just graduated not too long ago from university. So, its kinda impossible for him to earn lots of money! Although Wu Hao told her that he would make a fortune in the future to ensure her and her family a better life, Wu Xiaoxiao understood that in this society, to work and earn money was not an easy matter.
Your brother just graduated from university?! As she heard this, Xiao Wen really couldnt guess how he made so much money. After all, a fresh graduate even if he was able to find a good job, the starting sry would obviously not be high.
Soon, Wu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wen, while they were conversing with each other along the way,they had reached the schools office. Then then found their ss teacher.
Their ss teacher was at least a 30 year old middle aged woman, wearing a pair of sses. Usually she would wear a very serious expression but once Wu Xiaoxiao met with her, her face turned into one of happiness.
Wu Xiaoxiao, Xiao Wen, why did the two of youe find me?
Teacher, I am here to ask for a leave. My brother came to the school to fetch me back home, so.... Wu Xiaoxiao somehow left a good impression on the ss teacher. It was worthy to not that usually she would not show such expression to anyone. Furthermore, Wu Xiaoxiaos academic performance was always excellent, within the few top rankings. She would always treat who excelled in their studies nicely.
Leave to go home? It is already sote yet you still want to go home? Is your real brother picking you up?
Yes, teacher! Wu Xiaoxiao quickly replied.
Well, I will go see your brother first then! The ss teacher noticed that Wu Xiaoxiao did not seem to be lying and nodded her head.
It was not that she was suspicious, it was just that the sky was getting dark soon. Plus, Wu Xiaoxiao was so beautiful. Asking for leave at this time, what if she was going out with some bad youngster? This would mean that she did not fulfill her duty well enough as a ss teacher.
In fact, the attitude they received from her was already considered good. If the other student who did not obtain good grades asked for a leave, she normally refused to do so.
Oh! Okay, teacher! After she heard that her ss teacher wanted to meet her brother, Wu Xiaoxiao did not say much and just carefully tagged along to the main gate.
Very quickly, Wu Xiaoxiao, Xiao Wen and their teacher arrived at the main gate.
Bro, this is our ss teacher, Teacher Wu. She wants to meet you. Wu Xiaoxiao stepped out in front of Wu Hao and with a low voice, introduced her.
As Wu Hao heard this, naturally he understood in his heart. However, he didnt think that this was a bother at all. In fact, he agreed with what the school management and ss teacher had done.
If the school just let any random outsider enter the schoolpound, then this management was really too loose.
Hi, Teacher Wu. I am Wu Xiaoxiaos brother. My name is Wu Hao. I am here for Xiaoxiao because tomorrow is a holiday, so I would like to bring her home with me. Wu Hao smiled while he introduced himself to Wu Fang.
Ya. Xiaoxiao is performing very well in school. I am just worried about Xiaoxiaos safety taking a leave at suchte time. So, I came here to have a look. After she saw Wu Hao, Wu Fang no longer doubted his identity.
Because when she looked at Wu Haos ordinary appearance, he did not seem like someone who came to school and chased girls. (T/N: Finally his ordinary look benefits him..)
Of course, she did not consider Wu Hao as Wu Xiaoxiaos real brother. She just thought that he should be her cousin or something like that. After all, the difference between Wu Xiaoxiao and Wu Hao was like the difference between the heavens and the earth.
Sorry for troubling you, Teacher Wu. Then, approving Xiaoxiaos leave should not be a problem right?
No problem. This afternoon after finishing the school session, the holiday officially begins. It is just that the school management set up the rules for those staying back at school to self-study during the evenings. Wu Fang nodded her head as a sign of agreement. Then, she turned to face Wu Xiaoxiao, Be careful during the journey with your brother. Also, remember toe back to school early the day after tomorrow.
Yes, Teacher Wu! Wu Xiaoxiao quickly agreed.
Bro, then wait a while for me. I need to go and pack up some clothes.
Nah, you dont have to pack up your clothes. Later on back at home, Ill bring you to buy new clothes. You just need to bring back your homework. Wu Hao tried to stop her.
Ive already finished my homework when school finished just now! Wu Xiaoxiao was surprised for a moment before whispered to him.
If its like that then we can go now! Wu Hao had a quickugh and said farewell to Wu Fang, Teacher Wu, then I will bring my sister back home now. The day after tomorrow I will take her back here.
Be careful during the journey, pay attention to safety! Wu Fang replied back with a smile too.
Wu Xiaoxiao. who was still in a daze. finally reacted and told Xiao Wen who was beside her, Xiao Wen, I am going back home now. Help me keep the books on the desk.
Yea, go now. Be careful, ya.
Just like that, Wu Xiaoxiao walked out from the school and followed Wu Hao. As for the guard, naturally he didnt stop her as the ss teacher already gave her approval.
Bro, where are we going now?! After they left the school, Wu Xiaoxiao asked him.
Of course were going to buy new clothes for you. I thought I had already told you just now!
You really want to buy new clothes for me? At home, theres still clothes for me, theres no need to waste money on them. Wu Xiaoxiao was naturally happy in her heart but since young, she was already used to refusing such things.
In order to not hurt his sisters feeling, he carefully exined what happened with a smile.
......
Chapter 16: A white lie
Chapter 16: A white lie
......
Even after she heard all this, Wu Xiaoxiao still mumbled to herself, If you have money, you still must not waste like that! It was obvious that she was still thinking about the errand fee given by Wu Hao just now.
Wu Hao, who walked in front of her, did not respond. In his opinion, by the time his sister saw his car, she would the understand why was he so generous back then.
A few momentter, Wu Hao led Wu Xiaoxiao to the ce which he parked his car. Here was the parking lot at the corner of the road beside her school.
It was just that when they were about to enter the parking lot, they saw several men pointing at something and talking among themselves.
You all recognize what kind of car this is?
What bullsh*t are you talking about? Didnt you see the logo in front of the car, that big Benz? Who wouldnt recognize it?!
I know this is a big Benz. Then, do you know the price of this car?
En! From the model design, it should be within 700-800 thousand! This man was obviously clueless and could not recognize the G500. That was because he thought that even though this car was new, the design was somehow old and square shaped. He then concluded the price tag about 700-800 thousand.
In those third tier cities like Sichuan, millions of cars could be seen on the road. However, any Benz cars were still quite rare. And this G500 model was even more umon.
In fact, G500 was not beautiful from its appearance. Plus,pared to the city SUV, Audi Q5, it seemed to be on the rough and wild side.
Chi......700-800 thousands! Let me tell you, this model you better not look down at it due to its old design. This car should cost at least 2 million Yuan.
2 million? F*ck! Such an expensive car! Its even almost within the same price tag range as some sports cars.
While these men had been discussing with each other, Wu Hao brought along Wu Xiaoxiao to the side of the car. He looked at the middle aged man who was beside the seat door and Wu Hao said with a smile, This big brother, could you please step aside? Then, he took out the car key and pressed on it which then caused the car doors to unlock.
The middle aged man who was told by Wu Hao to step aside subconsciously stepped backwards. It was not that he didnt see Wu Hao just now but he never linked Wu Hao and this car together. Now, after had seen Wu Hao unlock the car, his old face started to turn red.
After all, this was indeed too embarrassing.
Xiaoxiao, why are you still standing there day dreaming? Hurry up and get in the car! After he had opened the door, Wu Hao had noticed that Wu Xiaoxiao was still stunned on the roadside and quickly called her.
Ah! Oh! Wu Xiaoxiaos face turned red and her nerves were shaken. This was because several pairs of eyes were staring at her!
It the street, there are two things in particr which attract the attention of peoples eyes. First was luxury car and second was beautiful women. Now, a beauty appeared together with luxury car. There really was nothing more to say about such abination.
Not only had the pedestrians continuously raise their eyebrows, even the passing vehicles could not help themselves from having a second look.
During this moment, numerous ideas appeared in Wu Xiaoxiaos heart. Although she did not understand much about cars, BMW, Benz, and other such cars; she still knew about them.
Moreover, she faintly heard the conversation from the men that the price tag was at least 2 million.
Hehe! Dont you have many questions to ask bro? Starting the engine, Wu Hao looked at Wu Xiaoxiao who seemed to have lots of question but hesitated and he asked her.
En! I sure have a lot of questions. Did you do anything illegal outside? If not, how could you be so rich in such a short amount of time? I still remember you were hospitalized just several days ago.
Does your bro look like someone who would do something illegal? Ah! Actually it is really nothing. Its just that several days ago, I identally bought a lottery ticket and won the jackpot prize. Thus, next time you dont have to worry about our family not having money. From now on, bro will let you wear and use the best. Obviously, Wu Hao would not tell her that he had won all of his money from gambling in Macao. After thinking here and there, he still ended up with using this lottery winning excuse. Although this reason did not seem to be convincing, it was still better than gambling. At the very least, it would not let his family worry about him.
You hit the jackpot? Bro, am I still dreaming?! There really is someone who would win the jackpot?! It was still hard to believe for Wu Xiaoxiao. However, her brothers word to give the best for her really touched her heart.
En! Even though the probability of winning the lottery is very low, this could still not stop your bro who is kind and has a good character! It doesnt matter how low the probability is, I still hit the jackpot. Wu Hao deliberately put on a good appearance and replied.
Brother! You are the best under the heavens. Of course, mum and dad are also included! Wu Xiaoxiao said and then gave a peck to Wu Hao who was driving the car.
Wu Hao touched his cheek and then pretended toin, Were already so big, why do you still treat me as if Im still a kid? Plus, Im still driving right now!
Im just too happy! Wu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue with some shyness building up. (T/N: This sister would not appear in real life, a sister is just an annoying creature J)
As he looked at her, he just pleasantly smiled. He didnt me her intentions at all. This was because with his telekinesis and spiritual perception, he could still let the car go in auto pilot with hands free and still not cause any ident.
Oh yea! Xiaoxiao, I bought you a smartphone, a smartwatch and aptop. Have a look and them. See if you like them or not. Wu Hao said so while he had been using one of his hand to get a small bag from the seat behind; inside contained the smartphone, the smartwatch, and theptop which he bought from Macao.
Wa! Isnt this thetest Fruit smartphone andptop?! This is so expensive, bro! Although Wu Xiaoxiao had never used them before, she still knew how valuable they were. Moreover, she had seen many students in her school use Fruit smartphones but so far, she had yet to encounter those who used the smartwatch andptop from this brand.
Compared to the smartphone, these smartwatches and high endptops were still somewhat less popr. At least in this citys middle school, not many people used them yet.
En! As long as you like them, it doesnt matter how expensive they are. On the way home, I will get you a phone sim card. With that, if you have anything important at school, you can just give me a call. Wu Haoughed. If it was the previous him, he had of course thought such things were indeed too expensive. As for now, with a different mentality, of course he would look at things differently.
In reality, Wu XiaoXiao really wanted to have her own smartphone deep in her heart. It was just that she knew about the familys financial problems; thus she always replied that it would affect her studies and to only buy it for her when she entered university.
With so many gifts from Wu Hao, she was naturally touched. Bro, you are so nice to me!
Hehe! You are the cutest little sister. If I am not nice to you, then to whom do I have to be nice to?
Along the journey, with them having been chatting andughing together, the car quickly arrived at the citysrgest shopping mall. After they found themselves a parking lot, he then stopped his car there. Wu Hao led Wu Xiaoxiao to the floor downstairs to get herself a sim card from the mobile store.
Then as they entered the mall, he was ready to buy new clothes for his sister. At the same time, he thought that he should get himself some decent clothes too.
......
Chapter 17: All I want
Chapter 17: All I want
......
Soon, Wu Hao and Wu Xiaoxiao took the malls esctor to the third floor which housed womens clothes. There, it had a vast majority of domestic clothing brand as well as several internationally renowned brand stores.
Of course for Wu Hao, he wanted to get the best for his sister. They then entered into one of those international brand stores.
Can you please rmend several sets of clothes which suit her. As they entered the store, Wu Hao asked for help from the salesperson.
This salesgirl took a look at Wu Hao and Wu Xiaoxiaos way of dressing. She did have some hesitation, though out of courtesy, she did not say anything.
Okay, mister and miss. Pleasee with me.
As he saw that his sister was somehow awkward, Wu Haoforted her, Go then, after you finish buying clothes, we still need to rush back home!
Okay then! Wu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and followed the salesgirl inside the store. Naturally, Wu Hao also walked behind their backs.
Miss, these are the new products from our store. Have a look and see which ones you are fond of. As they came to a row of showcase clothes, the salesgirl smiled at Wu Xiaoxiao while she introduced the products.
However, Wu Xiaoxiao still had not opened her mouth; yet Wu Hao who was following behind interrupted them, Wrap up all of them up for me! I think these clothes suit her very well. Wu Hao was actually telling the truth. After all, his sister was a natural beauty with her height nearing 1.7meter. Compared to this brother, her height was not far behind his.
It would not be exaggerated to say that she was a natural-born clothes hanger. No matter what she wore, she would still be good looking. Plus, Wu Hao knew that though his own sister did not know how expensive the price of the clothes in the store were, she would still know the clothes were certainly not cheap from the decoration of the store.
Bro! This is too much. Just buying one is enough for me. Wu Xiaoxiao told him in a meful tone. No matter how much money Wu Hao won, in her point of view, he should not be so extravagant and wasteful!
After all, the winning money was limited. If it was spent recklessly, sooner orter all the money would be gone. This was not something that Wu Xiaoxiao wished to see.
However, when Wu Hao was about to open his mouth after he heard theint from his sister, from the side, a peculiar and non-harmonious voice traveled through the air.
Yo! Who are they! They didnt look at their status and still want everything? Do you know how much these clothes cost? Can you even afford them? A 20 year old plus young girl with nice make up appeared behind Wu Hao with a big belly middle aged man. (T/N: Fatty 2.0 but a female instead)
The girl then looked at Wu Xiaoxiao who was in front of her, wore ordinary clothes, but still looked prettier than her with eyes of dislike and jealousy. In contrast, the middle aged man observed Wu Xiaoxiao with his eyes that brightly shined. There was really no need to guess that this man must have thought something dirty in his mind right now.
As he heard her voice, Wu Haos expression changed but he did not directly confront her. Instead, he faced the salesgirl and told her, Why in your store is there a chicken(Chinese ng for prostitute) making noise as she likes. Those who dont know would have thought that they entered into a chicken farm!
You jerk, who are you scolding?! As she heard the word chicken, the girl reacted as if someone had stepped on her tail and she jumped out immediately. Then, she said to the middle aged man beside her, Honey, he is scolding me. You need to give him a lesson!
The salesgirl beside the scene and others further away in the store having seen such scene, they knew that if they did not do something, certainly the scene would turn ugly soon.
Mister, do you still want these clothes? The salesgirl quickly shifted the topic.
Of course. Why wouldnt I want them? Wrap everything up for me! Wu Hao actually did not want to bother with those two bastard.
Impossible! Those white clothes, I like them. After she noticed that the man did not react to her whining, the girl then stared at Wu Hao with ming eyes. Her own man surprisingly stared at the other girl. Although she had long known about the nature of her man, still at this very moment, she could not bear the insult.
This miss, I am very sorry but that mister was the one who looked at them first. Lets see, you can have a look at the others too. There are still many new products in our store. Although the salesgirl could not withstand the arrogant look of the girl, she could only smile as customer was always right.
Plus now she could clearly see that Wu Hao and co were not ordinary people who just entered the store for some window shopping. She was afraid they were the low-key type. After all, once Wu Hao opened his mouth, he requested to wrap up it all up. This was not something an average person would dare to say.
No! Those clothes, I want them! Also, do you think that these country bumpkins would be able to afford them?! With a change of expression, the girl continued to whine to the man beside her, Honey, I really want that!
Okay, okay, okay, lets buy them then! The man looked at her with a generous expression.
Too bad Wu Hao could no longer ignore the words from the girl who scolded him and his sister. It was still fine if she just cursed at him. He would consider that as a bark from the random dog. However, even his sister was included too. It did not matter whether she was a female or not, Wu Hao decided to give her a good lesson.
As he was thinking this, Wu Hao suddenly burst out andughed Since these clothes had already been fancied by a person, then we dont want it anymore. Xiaoxiao, let us see the others! As he was facing the salesgirl, he asked, Miss, this store still has other new arrival right? Take us to see the better ones!
No problem, mister! Here! Hearing this from Wu Hao, the salesgirl was somehow relieved. If Wu Hao decided topete with her then it would be endless.
Heng! Still trying to act! Lets see when you pay your bill, how youre going to act then! As she was watching Wu Hao leave, the girl looked like a hen with its victorious look; she had a pretentious face of a winner that looked down upon the losers from a pedestal.
Mister, these are the best new arrivals of this year, all of them are made by famous foreign designers.... Very quickly, the salesgirl led Wu Hao and Wu Xiaoxiao to the other side of the store and began to introduce the products.
Ah! Not bad, indeed they look better than the others just now! Wu nodded, Xiaoxiao, pick one and try it!
Oh! Okay then! Since Wu Hao insisted on buying luxurious clothes plus the incident a moment ago, Wu Xiaoxiao no longer tried to reject him.
As a result, with the help of the salesgirl, Wu Xiaoxiao selected a set of clothes and went to the dressing room to change. Momentster, Wu Xiaoxiao came out from the room with the new clothes on.
Miss, you look so beautiful wearing these clothes. Even as a fellow girl, the salesgirl could only sigh and admitted that Wu Xiaoxiao was indeed a natural born beauty.
This is a matter of facts. My sister would look great no matter what she wore. Looking at his newly transformed sister, Wu Haoughed while he gave her a praise.
Bro..... Wu Xiaoxiao started to blush as she heard thement from her brother. Although she herself felt that these clothes looked good, she had never worn such expensive clothes before. As she heard her brother mention this in front of stranger, this somehow made her feel shy.
Hehe! Wu Hao just smiled. Then he continued by asking the salesgirl beside them, Please wrap up these few sets of clothes too!
Ah! Okay mister. Please wait for a moment. The salesgirl was extremely surprised when Wu Hao really wanted to get all these clothes too. This was because they were among the most expensive ones in the store and the price would certainly not be cheap.
Chapter 18: A little lesson
Chapter 18: A little lesson
......
At first, she thought Wu Hao was just saying it without putting any real meaning into it. Apparently, Wu Hao was not joking and was really serious in buying all of them. Thus, the salesgirl quickly wrapped everything up and prepared to ring them up at the cash register.
After they reached the cash register, a colleague whispered to the salesgirl when she was preparing Wu Haos payment matter. Juan jie, do you really believe that that man could afford our stores clothes?! If he really didnt have that much money, then it will be such a big joke instead. (E/N: pronounced joo (like too)-anh and jie is chinese for sister or for younger people when referring to older/higher ranked women).
You dont understand. People nowadays cant be judged from only their appearances. Some of them are really low key. The salesgirl was indeed a bit nervous in her heart but her words did not show that at all. She was even pretending to exin it to her colleague.
Soon, the salesgirl wrapped everything up neatly and was ready for Wu Hao to pay. She then walked towards Wu Hao and respectfully said, Mister, your items have been wrapped up. Please follow me to pay for the clothes.
Oh! Okay! Wu Hao nodded as if he did not care and then followed the salesgirl to the cashier counter.
Mister, the total here is 315 thousand, are you going to pay with card? Of course as she said these words, it wasnt like she was expecting him to pay with cash.. After all, nowadays, who in the world would bring out so much cash to shop for clothes?
Oh, the swipe card then! As for the price, Wu Hao was not surprised at all since, in his heart, he had somehow already estimated the cost of the clothes. Thus, he happily brought out his bank card for her to charge.
Soon after the sessful payment transaction, the few salesgirls in the store who originally doubted Wu Hao now saw him in a new light.
Their heart were eximing, Indeed how low key! They were such normal clothes.
As for Wu Xiaoxiao who was beside him, she was already in a daze by herself when she heard the figure of 310 thousand. Although she had expected that these few sets of clothes would not be cheap in her heart, never had she ever imagined that they would actually cost more than 300 thousand.
Were done here, Xiaoxiao. Stop nkly staring over there. Lets go. We still need to go to other ces and have a look! Wu Hao called his sister and then, took the initiative to hold those big bags.
Of course, before he left, he would not forget about that noisy and cheap mouthed woman. Through his perception, he was able to pinpoint the exact location of the woman. Apparently, she was dragging around the big bellied middle aged man to see her change outfits!
Honey, what are you looking at? Help me pull the zipper up from behind! As she had noticed the man was diverting his sight to the store entrance, her heart was indeed very dissatisfied. But, she still whined at her man.
It turned out that this woman had tried on several sets of clothes. The reason she did so was an intentional one. Her aim was none other than to attract the attention of the man.
Oh! Good! The man looked at the entrance every few moments but still couldnt see the figure of Wu Xiaoxiao and then, unwillingly replied back. Apparently, his feelings towards the shadow of Wu Xiaoxiao was still beaming around non stop in his heart.
However, with this woman beside him and Wu Hao who only stayed next to Wu Xiaoxiao, although he indeed had some ideas, he dared not to act upon them in real life.
Wu Hao, who had already exited the store, noticed the scene through his spiritual perception. This made him pay attention to them immediately. The moment when the man helped pull up the zipper from behind the woman, he activated his telekinesis ability in a timely fashion.
Krrkkk! With just a sound, the clothes on the body of the woman had torn into two halves by the man in a blink of an eye. Even the womans bra was also torn into pieces together with the clothes.
Ahhh! A scream could be heard from the womans mouth. In that moment, her upper body was entirely exposed to the air. Several customers who were looking at the clothes and the salesgirl werepletely shocked by the scene in front of them.
Whats going on here? Are they trying to emte that wild version of UNIQLO in such a public ce? Seems that the two bosoms of her front have gone under under the knife quite a few times! Therere still some bruises present. This was the voice of a man who apanied his wife there to buy clothes. (T/N: UNIQLO refers to the case of a Chinese couple having their d*ggie style in the stores fitting room while recording it.) (E/N: Either the author likes pop culture or huehue theres some other fantasies here.)
Whereas for the female staffs and customers in the store showed faces full of disgust. In their hearts, they were cursing this dog couple who were really shameless.
This culprit middle aged man was somehow in a dazed state. Although he was indeed brave enough to so in private, he would naturally not do such things to a woman in public.
Honey, you...... As she was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, the womans face red up. She quickly covered the two lump of fats on her chest with her two hands andined to the man.
I didnt.....I was only trying to help you pull up the zipper.... Frustration could be seen on the face of the middle aged man when he noticed that those around the scene were looking at him.
Wu Hao no longer paid attention to them as heughingly give a little lesson to the woman. Although this womans body wasnt considered bad, just based on that ck lump of excess fat on her chest, Wu Hao didnt even need to guess that this woman was indeed a sinister woman. Furthermore, she was the type to have a very dark personality.
As for such woman, Wu Hao obviously wouldnt even have the slightest interest towards her. If it was Qin Sisi from a few days ago, Wu Hao wouldnt be able to hold himself to have a couple peeks at her. As for this woman, forget about it.
After left the clothes store, Wu Hao brought Wu Xiaoxiao to a shoe store and then to a jewelry store. Finally, when they passed by a lingerie store, Wu Xiaoxiao with rosy cheeks, told Wu Hao that she wanted to get herself two new pairs of undergarments.
As he noticed the variety of designs and colors of the underwear hanging all over the store, Wu Hao naturally felt shyness in entering the store. Thus, he took out the cash he brought with him from his wallet and passed them over to Wu Xiaoxiao. He chose to just wait outside the store entrance. (T/N: Why so shy?)
As for Wu Xiaoxiao, she did not take much time before she exited the store. Then, both of them went to a mens clothing store. There, Wu Hao bought several pairs of clothes for himself and also let his sister pick two for their parents.
This shopping trip took them at least an hour in total. Wu Hao who was carrying the big and small bags, left the shopping mall with Wu Xiaoxiao. After he ced all their purchases into the trunk of the car, Wu Hao started the engine and headed towards the direction of their home.
The car which Wu Hao bought was a white G500 4X4^2, a recently released version in the market. Compared to the normal G500, the appearance was even more domineering. The car was even higher which made it suitable for off-road driving.
From Sanyuan city to their hometown, those old roads, especially thest several kilometers that led to their home, those roads were like jungle roads.
If it was a normal car, most likely it wouldnt be able to get there. Fortunately, Wu Hao bought this off-road monster, the G500. Thus, during the whole journey to the vige, they sat in the monster of a car and didnt feel any bumps at all.
Only on the mountain road, the little road which led to the vige, had they started to feel some shaking.
When they were approaching the vige, Wu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, curiously asked Wu Hao, Bro, this timeing back home, do you intend to go out again?

Chapter 19Viger¡¯s amazement

¡ ¡
As he heard the question from his sister, Wu Xiaoxiao, Wu Hao then thought for a moment. ¡°En! Temporarily, I think I won¡¯t go anywhere. I¡¯ll wait until we finish renovating our house. Only then will I decide!¡± This time around, he would go back home and not go out anymore. At least for these several months, he didn¡¯t have any intention to do so.
¡°Oh! Bro, though you are now rich, you must still save some for the future. The best way would be if you invested money in some business or whatnot, or else one day you would spend everything till you¡¯re bone-dry.¡± Hearing the words from Wu Hao, Wu Xiaoxiao just nodded and gave him advice like a housekeeper would.
¡°Hehe! I know! Acting like a little housekeeper, you!¡± Wu Hao made fun of her.
¡°What! I did this for your own good also!¡± Wu Xiaoxiao snorted with some dissatisfaction.
As the G500¡¯s bright headlights shined into the vige, those vigers who had not slept yet, discovered such a scene from afar.
¡°Now it¡¯s already sote at night. Who would drive into our vige?¡± The old man Zhang began to ponder as the headlights were getting closer and closer to the vige.
In their vige, forget about at night, even during the day, when the sky is still bright, the number of vehicles entering the vige would be something negligible. That was because of the road leading to the vige could not be traveled on by any ordinary cars.
Unless there was someone in the vige renovating their house, only then would they purchase the building materials from the town which would be transported here by a huge truck. Moreover, it must be under the condition that there was no rain to be able to get into the vige.
Once it became a rainy day, forget about cars, even those several vigers that had a motorcycle would rather choose to walk to the town rather than to ride into town.
This was because once your vehicle was stuck in the pit, it would not be people riding it but the vehicle riding people instead.
Soon, from the perspective of the old man Zhang, the car¡¯s headlights were getting closer. Then, the car stopped at an open space in the vige entrance.
Since Wu Hao¡¯s home was not at the roadside, the car obviously couldn¡¯t be driven into their own small courtyard.
From the ce where he parked his car, the distance to his house, by following the little field road, was about two to three hundred meters away. His house was just a single story house with three rooms.
Of those three rooms, one was for his parents. Another one was the central room. Thest remaining room was obviously the room that both siblings shared. (T/N: Wow, this just sound wronging from a Chinese family.) (E/N: Don¡¯t worry, i gotchu baby.)
However, since Wu Hao went off to college, this room basically became his sister¡¯s own personal room.
¡°Uncle Zhang!¡± Wu Hao greeted old man Zhang, who was curiously looking from the roadside, as he was getting out of the car.
¡°You, you are Wu Hao?¡± Old man Zhang said with some uncertainty.
At that moment, Wu Hao¡¯s sister, Wu Xiaoxiao also got off from the car. She then looked at old man Zhang with some courtesy and greeted him, ¡°Uncle Zhang, he¡¯s indeed my brother, Wu Hao!¡±
¡°So it¡¯s Xiaoxiao! The sky''s so dark; for a moment I wasn¡¯t able to see clearly.¡± Once old man Zhang saw Wu Xiaoxiao, he immediately noticed her. (T/N: I dare to bet that this old man is a pervert.)
Then, a few vigers who were still awake came to the side of old man Zhang. As they noticed the one who drove the car into their vige was Wu Hao and his sister, they were greatly surprised.
After several greetings, and after seeing the enthusiasm from the vigers, Wu Hao didn¡¯t dare to act cold and thus, he politely said, ¡°Uncles, aunties, the sky isn¡¯t bright anymore. My sister and I want to go back home now. If there is anything, let¡¯s have a chat tomorrow.¡±
¡°Okay, okay!¡± A few old men and women replied back immediately.
At first, they were curious because it was already sote at night and yet, somehow drove into their vige. Now that they knew the driver, they were indeed surprised at why Wu Hao drove home, but nobody dared to directly ask him.
Soon after, as he carried those small and big bags, Wu Hao apanied Wu Xiaoxiao along the narrow field path to their home.
After Wu Hao brought Wu Xiaoxiao and left, a few old vigers, some young men, and several young women didn¡¯t leave immediately. Instead, they began to admire the car.
¡°Zhao Dong, you have left our vige before. Do you recognize this car?¡± A 40 year old plus uncle asked the youth beside him who looked around 25 years old.
¡°What other car could this be?! This is a Benz! This is a serious car, freaking expensive!¡± Zhao Dong could be considered in the vige¡¯s younger generation. He was older than Wu Hao by a few years. When he hadn¡¯t even finish his junior school (E/N: probably like junior high, intermediate, or middle school), he had already left the vige to find a fortune.
Two years ago, he married a young woman and decided to stay at his old home. There, together with a few of the vigers, they made a living by doing house renovations. Although he didn¡¯t know the specific model of this Benz, that big sign in front of the car, how could he not recognize it?
In today¡¯s society, although there are people who didn¡¯t understand much about cars, the two brands Mercedes-Benz and BMW were basically known everywhere.
In the eyes of most people, the Benz and the BMW represented luxury cars. Although these brands are indeed internationally renowned brands for luxury cars, besides those model which reached millions, there were still some mid-range models.
¡°So this is a Benz! No wonder it¡¯s such a huge car! How much is it worth?¡±
¡°This, I¡¯m not sure about the specific price. However from the looks of it, it should be at least a few millions!¡± Zhao Dong wasn¡¯t entirely sure of the price so he could only give a vague estimation.
Indeed, this price gave them a huge surprise. This was because in their San Xi vige, there were only about 100 plus vigers. The wealthiest one would be the household of Yao Shixiong, but he only bought a truck.
This Yao Shixiong was more than 30 years old. Only in recent years, had he started to make quite a fortune. In this area, he could be considered as a small contractor.
And now, Wu Hao drove back a Benz, which was worth millions, home. This was indeed San Xi vige¡¯s very first time for such thing to ur.
Whereas on the other side, after walking through the narrow field path, Wu Hao and Wu Xiaoxiao reached their home courtyard. Wu Xiaoxiao then shouted to the direction of the house.
Now the night had already reached about 10pm. Due to having to wake up early tomorrow for the farm work, their parents would generally sleep very early at night.
¡°Mum, dad! Brother and I are back!¡±
In the house, Wu Hongguo and Zhang Hun heard the voice from the outside and in a few breaths, opened the door. Seeing Wu Hao and Wu Xiaoxiao in front of them, they were indeed surprised.
¡°Xiaoxiao, how did you twoe back?¡±
¡°Mum, dad, let¡¯s enter the house first and brother will then tell you!¡± Looking at her own dad and her mom behind him, Wu Xiaoxiao grinned.
After cing all the big and small bags nicely in the house, Wu Hao then briefly started to exin about his ¡®lottery winnings¡¯ and about him fetching his sister back from school.
¡°You mean you bought a lottery ticket and won the jackpot?!¡± hearing Wu Hao¡¯s exnation, Wu Hongguo began to ask as he found this hard to believe.
¡°En! Yea!¡± Although he was indeed not too confident with such excuses, Wu Hao really couldn¡¯t find any other ideas to exin his source of money. He couldn¡¯t be honest to his parents as it might make them worry instead.
¡°Then, this timeing back home, what¡¯s your n? Also, about this money, you already have any idea about what you¡¯re going to do with it?¡± After calming himself from the initial shock, Wu Hongguo then asked Wu Hao.
Chapter 20: Contracting the mountain
Chapter 20: Contracting the mountain
......
In his point of view, since Wu Hao won himself millions in the jackpot, of course as a father, he had to fulfill his duty to ensure his sons future ns.
However, as a father, he didnt want to stump the growth of his child so he chose not to say anything. Instead, he wanted to hear about Wu Haos own ideas first.
Hearing this, Wu Hao didnt think too deeply about it and briefly shared his own thoughts.
Dad! Actually, I already have it nned out. Last year, you voiced out your desire to contract a piece ofnd in the mountains behind us to nt herbs, right? Since we have the cash now, we must act quickly to contract that piece ofnd before others take it. As for me, I dont have any ns to go out for now. Ill stay here at home and help out with the nning.
Also, I would like to upgrade the mountain road leading to our vige. At the same time, Ill renovate our house to be more spacious andfortable.
Wu Hongguo listening to Wu Haos idea didnt agree nor object. Your idea isnt bad. But wont contacting a piece ofnd all of a sudden in the mountains pose a great risk?
Also staying in the vige wont give you a bright future. I think you had better deposit your winnings into the bank and get yourself a nice job in the city. These winnings, keep it so that you can purchase a houseter on.
Wu Hongguo naturally did not wish for his own children to be like them. To be trapped in this nest in a mountain valley for a lifetime.
Dad! As for buying a house in the city, lets just talk about itter. The main reason I came back here is to renovate our old house. So that you two and sister would be able to enjoy a better life here.
This house actually doesnt have many problems. Only that its now a bit too small as you and your sister are forced to be squeezed together into the same room. Wu Hongguo nodded his head. This matter of Wu Hao wanting to renovate the house was something he agreed on.
En! Since dad has agreed, tomorrow, I will find some men to take care of the house renovations. Oh yea, also regarding the road upgrade, I will need to bother you to inform the vige chief.
Although upgrading the road would cost quite a sum of money, indeed, this is a good contribution to the vige. As for this, I have no opinions about it. Tomorrow, I will visit the vige chief and inform him.
Okay, dad! Now the day is no longer early. Mom and dad, go sleep then. Also, in this bag are the clothes and some gifts which my sister and I chose for you two. Try them on to see whether they suit you guys or not. Picking up therge bag from the floor, Wu Hao handed it over to his fathers hand.
This child, now that you have money, you shouldnt waste it like that! Coming back home, why still buy this present?! Wu Haos mother said with a hint of a ming tone but her face still showed a smile.
Mum, this is just brothers sincerity. Remembering her own clothes worth several hundred thousand, Wu Xiaoxiao didnt dare to tell her parents. She worried that they would even ce more me on Wu Hao.
After their parents went back to their room next door, Wu Hao then told his sister, Well, it is not early anymore. Quickly unpack your stuff and go to sleep soon.
I know! I will go unpack everything then. Wu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and went into her room to start unpacking as Wu Hao told her to.
In their room, there were two beds. As for Wu Haos bed, it would normally serve as a ce to put things on top of. Since he had returned back home, he would have to clean up his bed.
Everytime Wu Hao went back home, Wu Xiaoxiao would always help him clean up everything. Thus, Wu Hao had already been long ago ustomed to her actions.
......
The following day, when the sky started to turn bright, Wu Hao already woke up. Of course, he actually did not sleep at allst night. Instead he had been non-stop repeating the cycle of using his power and restoring them back with his special breathing technique.
During the process of restoring his power, all aspects of physical fatigue also slowly disappeared.
Therefore, for the current Wu Hao, even if he didnt sleep for several days continuously, he wouldnt have even the slightest hint of sleepiness. Instead, each time after rhe recovered from the power consumption, he would be more energetic.
Why did you wake up when its still early? How about you sleep a bit longer? Noticing Wu Hao had already awoken, Wu Hongguo asked him unexpectedly.
This was because in the past, this brother and sister pair would usually sleep in until seven or eight in the morning before waking up.
Oh, I am already used to waking up early when I worked in the city. Wu Hao just casually answered before continued, Yeah dad, I thought about itst night and renovating our house doesnt seem to be the best n here.
Instead, Im going to build an even better house near the mountains at the back. Thend there is next to the mountains and a river too. Building a house there would be nice.
The ce which Wu Hao mentioned was about seven to eight hundred meters away from here. The piece ofnd which Wu Hao mentioned was not that high in altitude and at the bottom of the mountain there was a ten meter wide river flowing.
The river flowed directly from the center of the vige, passing through the vigers houses which were condensed at the ce where Wu Hao parked his carst night.
Hearing Wu Haos words, Wu Hongguo was somehow able to guess his idea, Then this new house, are you going to build it like a vi?
Nowadays, in the rural areas, these kind of vi-like houses were quite abundant, especially in the several viges nearby. There were quite a number of such houses there. As for their own vige, there was such a house being built a year ago. As for the owner of the house, it was none other than the one who made a fortune in the recent years, Yao Shixiong.
Yes! Indeed that was my n all along. Furthermore, in our vige, building such a vi would not cost much money. Plus, building in the back mountain not only provides a peaceful environment, it would also ease our workter in taking care of the herbs in the mountain.
Youre really serious in trying to contract a piece ofnd in the mountain?! Do you know how much money is needed to contract that big piece ofnd down? Plus the cost to nt the herbs? If during the nting process, some unwanted incident happened then what? Wu Hongguo raised several questions consecutively.
Although he did n to do sost time, contracting dozens of acres ofnd to nt herbs, after considering all the cost and risk which he had to face, was crazy. He decided to be honest with himself and engage in a small scale ntation instead.
After all, he didnt have any savings. Plus, considering he still had to make sure Wu Xiaoxiaopleted her education, he didnt dare to take the risk. If this n really failed, his household would be devastated by such a major blow.
Dad! You dont have to worry. We wont have any losses. As long as you follow my words to contract that piece ofnd down, then it''ll be alright. Although Wu Hao wasnt confident that contracting thend to nt herbs would bring any profit, if this n really didnt bring much profit in the future or the herbs faced some ident during the process, they would not affect him at all.
He just wanted to find a reason to stay at home. If he really wanted to make money, he could have just gone into the deeper parts of the mountain and harvested some valuable herbs to exchange for cash.
Chapter 21: Sponsoring the road’s upgrade
Chapter 21: Sponsoring the road¡¯s upgrade
......
Noticing Wu Hao had already decided, Wu Hongguo could only helplessly sigh, Since you have decided, I can only support you. Later I will meet with the vige chief and talk to him about this matter.
In Sanyuan city, nting herbs and gaining a fortune was not something umon. There are quite a few people who did that. For example, in the neighbouring vige, several families did purchase under contract some mountainnd and nted herbs which then earned them arge amount of profit.
Of course, while there are some who gain money, there will be exceptions as well. In general, it depended on their way of management and their nting experience and more importantly, current market trends and demand.
When the skys color gradually turned bright, after having breakfast, Wu Hongguo and Wu Hao went together to the vige chief, Wu Sancais household.
Speaking of Wu Sancais household, it actually has a distant blood rtionship with Wu Haos family. It should be during Wu Hongguos great grandfathers generation.
Hongguo, you came so early find me. Are there any matters? The vige chief saw Wu Hongguo and Wu Hao who was behind him and asked with some curiosity.
This morning, Wu Sancai heard about Wu Hao driving back to the vige in an expensive car and he had gone to have a look. In fact, he was not the only one who knew about it. Most out of the hundreds vigers also knew regarding this matter. Of course, in addition to being surprised, endless envy was a part of their feeling.
San ge, actually is like this. My son here has made quite a fortune outside. This time, he came back to try his luck nting. Isnt there is a piece ofnd at the mountain behind which you had wanted to be contracted out? Today Ie to find San ge to discuss about this matter. Wu Hongguo smiled and exined his purposes while handing a cigarette to Wu Sancais. (T/N: Dont smoke!)
As for Wu Hao, he did not smoke. Thus, he had not prepared such things.
However, seeing this scene, Wu Hao nned to get himself a few cigarette boxes when he went outside the vige. Keeping some in his car would made his job easier when trying to ask for favours from someone.
This is a good thing! A few years ago, our vige did n to contract out that piece ofnd. It was just that thend is reallyrge and our vigers here did not have the ability to contract it in one go. Whereas outsiders did not pay any attention to our ce; thus that piece ofnd had been abandoned for so long.
However, Hongguo, the cost to contract that piece ofnd is not small. What does your son, Wu Hao n to do with it?
Uncle San, I intend to nt herbs on thend. As for what species, I still have not decided as I still need to do some research. For now, the most important thing is to contract thend and build our new house there. Wu Hao took the initiative to exin with a smile.
So this is the case! Building a house is just a small matter. The rules here are not strict either. After you have chosen the location, you just need to inform me to report it and it is good to go. Wu Sancai nodded. Since Wu Hongguo had said that Wu Hao made a fortune, then building a new and spacious house was certainly inevitable.
Nowadays, in the rural areas, whenever someone made a fortune outside, the first thing they do when they back home would be to build themselves a new and better house. Even their own viges Yao Shixiong used the money he made to build a small western-style vi.
O yea. Besides this, I also want to contribute to this vige by upgrading the mountain road which leads to our vige. That road is simply too bad to be used.
What? You say you want to sponsor the road repairs? Wu Sancai was shocked to hear that. He even thought his ears had heard wrongly and could not help to ask again.
Yes, Uncle San! I intend to spend money to upgrade the road into a cement road. Then, it will be more convenient for the vigers to go to towns outside for a trip or for business.
Hongguo, how much did your son earn?! Contracting thend and repairing the road, is the money enough for all this? You must know that to repair that whole road is not something cheap at all!
San ge, I will just tell you the truth then! This kid here had bought himself a lottery and won the prize. To contribute to the vige by repairing the road is something I am fully supportive of. Hearing this, Wu Hongguo directly told the truth to Wu Sancai.
Wu Hao who was beside them, helplessly sighed after heard this. He knew that after the words from his father, this news of him winning lottery would soon spread miles apart. (T/N: I me his dad! Useless..)
And now he somehow felt some regret for using this reason to cover up his source of money. Since things had gone this far, Wu Hao could only y along.
Haha! So it is like that. Then, I will rest easy. Plus, you sounded so determined. Hearing the exnation from Wu Hongguo, Wu Sancai no longer worried about Wu Haocking any money.
As for winning the lottery, he knew quite a bit about it. Winning the jackpot would earn at least several millions of yuan. Even the cost of contracting thend or repairing the road would not be close to a million.
After all, the road leading to the vige was not that long in distance. Plus, a few years back the government had cleaned up the trees along the road, so they wouldnt fall during the seasonal heavy storms.
Now with just some sand and cement poured on top of the road with some minor repairs, it should not be much of a problem.
Uncle San, then how much do you think contracting thend and repairing the road would cost in total? Wu Hao asked.
Well that piece ofnd is about 2000 acres. Since you forked out the money to build the vige road, I will let you have thend at 100 Yuan per acre. How long do you n to hold contract? Wu Sancai thought for a while and offered the lowest price for the contract.
Of course the reason he did this was because Wu Hao is willing to sponsor the cost for the road upgrade. He believed that for this price, even if the vigers had a vote, there should not be any problem.
As for the road upgrade, even I am not sure about the exact cost of it. Well, we can do it this way. Wu Hao would just have to pay for the materials and equipment hire. As for the other costs, our vige will take care of it.
This way, when the timee, all the costs would onlye from the materials and equipment hire.
En! Then, I will follow your n then. Let me give you one million first to buy the material and rent equipment. If this money is not enough, just inform me. As for the contract duration, I think I will go for 30 years! I can pay for 3 years in one shot. After thinking, Wu Hao told Wu Sancai his decision.
After settling these matters, the next step was for Wu Sancai to gather all the vigers and inform them about this matter. Then, he went to the town with Wu Hao for the relevant procedures of contracting thend. Afterwards, they went to a bank at the town to transfer 1.6 million to Wu Sancai. (T/N: What if Sancai runs away with all the money?!)
The 600 thousand was given as part of the vige fund. The specific allocation would be decidedter on by Wu Sancai and all the vigers in each household.
The remaining 1 million would be used to buy materials and equipment hire. From earlier works, Wu Sancai knew some of the road construction team. That very noon, Wu Sancai prepared a few trucks and rted mixing equipment. At the same time, he also settled the matter of sandstone and cement.
Chapter 22: Building House Preparations
Chapter 22: Building House Preparations
After handling all these matter, specifically in the construction part, Wu Hao no longer needed to worry about it anymore.
During noon when he reached the vige, Wu Hao brought along his sister to the back mountain to pick the location for the construction of their new house.
However, after looking around for half a day, Wu Hao couldnt really decide although he had selected a few good spots.
This was because building a house could be considered a major event. As for the specific location and address, it would have been better to seek advice from a feng shui master to have a look at.
After all, whether building a new structure in a rural area around ordinary people or those luxury high rise buildings in the city, those new construction sites would always be visited by such masters specifically.
Although the old Wu Hao didnt entirely believe in feng shui, the current him had such monstrous abilities. As for feng shui, for it to survive in China for more than 5000 years, there must be at least some truth regarding its existence.
In their vige, there was one man who understood this topic well. This person was already over 60 years old. Usually, the vigers here would ask for him to have a look whenever there were any ns to renovate or build houses.
Back home, Wu Hao talked to his dad regarding this matter. Wu Haos dad didnt have any opinions about it.
Thus, the next day, the both of them went to find the old feng shui master to pinpoint the final location for the new houses construction early in the morning.
Coincidentally, the final location decided was one of the choices Wu Hao made yesterday.
Behind this location by a few hundred meter, it was surrounded by mountains. As for the other side of this location, it was facing the viges river.
ording to Wu Haos idea, he decided to dig out a man made pond near the small river. In the future when he wanted to rear fish or something else, it would be a nice n.
After selecting the location, it was now the time to get service of a house designer and the specific aspects of the construction matter. It was just that in the afternoon that day, Wu Haos sister needed to go back to her school.
As a result, to find someone to design and decide the construction matters, this would have to be temporarily dyed for the next day.
Just like that, after lunch, Wu Hao prepared to send his sister, Wu Xiaoxiao back to school with his car. The journey back there from the vige would take about two to three hours.
If they were to take bus, it would take at least twice the time. This was because halfway through, the passengers needed to change buses. Plus, the bus needed to stop at every station and it was difficult to travel on a road in such a terrible state.
With all these dys, it would most likely take half a day to reach the destination.
This was why his sister would only go back home once a month or during semester breaks. Everytime she went back home, she could only be there for half a day. As for the rest of the time, it was all spent on the bus itself.
Reaching the city, when they were approaching the school, Wu Hao stopped outside banks door. He then turned his head facing Wu Xiaoxiao who was besides him and said, Xiaoxiao, give me your card. I will transfer you your living expenses.
Bro, I still have at least 1000! No need for such a thing! Wu Xiaoxiao cried out. This 1000 Yuan plus was the leftover from when Wu Hao gave her money to buy undergarments.
Just over 1000? How is this enough?! Hurry up and give me your card number now! Without waiting for her reply, Wu Hao extended his hand.
As she saw this, Wu Xiaoxiao could only helplessly take out her bank card and passed it to him. Wu Hao took the card and sneered. Okay, wait for me in the car. Ill be back soon.
Alrighty then. Wu Xiaoxiao nodded and no longer added any extra words.
Due to having very few customers in the bank, Wu Hao found himself an empty window in the blink of an eye when he walked into the bank.
Well, Ill have to bother you to deposit 200 thousand into this card. Wu Hao said so while handing over both his and his sisters card.
Okay. Please wait for a moment. Hearing this, the teller quickly finished the process. Within two minutes, Wu Hao had finished the money transfer and headed straight to his car.
Xiaoxiao, I had just transferred 200 thousand into your bank. From now on at school, dont be afraid to spend money. Just buy anything that you like.
Bro! Why did you give me so much money?! 200 thousand, how could I spend that much at school? What if I lost the card? Knowing that Wu Hao had given her such huge sum of cash, Wu Xiaoxiao asked him in a surprised and meful tone.
If you cant spend it all, just keep it for yourself when you enter university! Wu Haoughed. He didnt mind at all because the main goal when he won this money was to make sure that his parents and his own sister led a better life. Plus, he took money very lightly because earning money was an easy feat for him.
Very soon, the car reached the street near the school. Wu Xiaoxiao refused to be dropped off at the school gate because she didnt want to attract attention from the school. Since his own sister didnt want to be the center of the attention, Wu Hao also didnt mind. He then dropped her on the nearby street. After all, walking a distance of 100 to 200 meters was not something difficult.
Alright. Pay more attention when youre in school. Dont follow others to go to any KTV or such ces to enjoy yourself. You know? If you really have to go, give me a call. Ill apany you there. When she got down from the car, Wu Hao still couldnt hold himself back from warning his sister. (E/N: KTV is karaoke)
After all, nowadays, student going to KTV or such ces was the norm. However, these ces were always filled with devious things. Plus, his sister was very pretty. Even if she wanted to avoid any trouble, it certainly wouldnt be easy.
En! I know. I wont go to such ces! Wu Xiaoxiao sweetly smiled. Wu Xiaoxiao was totally not interested in KTV, inte cafes, and other such ces. Though she had been invited before to go to such ces, Wu Xiaoxiao firmly stood her ground and refused the invitations.
After making sure his sister walked into the school gate, Wu Hao subsequently drove his car back home.
As Wu Xiaoxiao reached her school dorm, as her best friend and roommate, Xiaowen noticed that Wu Xiaoxiao was wearing such elegant clothes. Even her bag seemed to be expensive too. The thing which surprised the most was that Wu Xiaoxiao had a phone now. Plus, it was thetest fruit smartphone.
Wow! Xiaoxiao, your brother brought all these things for you? Xiaowen asked with some hint of envy.
En. Right. Wu Xiaoxiao replied with happiness all over her face,
Your brother is so good to you. Why dont I have a rich brother?! With an envious tone and full of regret, Xiaowen replied back.
Although she wasnt an only child, she didnt have an older brother. Instead, she had a younger brother who was still in primary school. She was from a rural family. At first, her family economic conditions could be considered as average. But with the addition of her little brother, her situation could now be imagined.
In rural areas of China, it was verymon for male privilege. If a family had a son and daughter, most of the resources would be used for the son. This was because the son would continue the family line and the daughter would be married away into a different family. Especially in rural areas, many parents still had this concept in their mindset. Even in cities, there were still quite a number of parents who believed in this concept too.

Chapter 23: Entering the mountain to search for medicine
......
In the evening, when Su Hao reached home, he spent his evening doing his normal routine; activating his telekinesis and recovering his power back with the special breathing technique. As long as he had free time, he would keep repeating this cycle.
In his mind, it was very clear that the most important asset to him right now was his own brain. He was able to obtain this telekic ability all thanks to the mutation of his brain.
Since he could continuously repeat the cycle to improve his telekic ability, he naturally wouldnt miss the chance to keep enhancing his ability to a higher level.
For the following week, Wu Hao stayed at home to manage the matters regarding the road and the construction of their new home. With Wu Hao who kept throwing money towards it, the road leading to the vige was nearly 50 percent done.
As for the remaining road and other structures like fences, in half a months time, they should bepleted.
As for Wu Haos small vi, it didnt follow the usualmon standards of those rural styled vis. It was instead built ording to the designs by a professional architectural team.
The entire building covered almost 500 square meters. However, if the surrounding courtyard was included, the sum would be in the thousands of square meters. The vi consisted of three stories and the offered price from the construction team was five million Yuan.
After Wu Hao looked at the designs of the vi, he became satisfied with the price they offered him.
This was because for suchrge vi, if it was built in the city, the minimum cost would be at the at least ten million.
It was only in rural areas like their vige that the price would be so cheap.
After all, in the rural areas, by spending around 300 thousand, you would be able to get a small but nice vi.
As of now, he didnt need to spend extra money on thend for the new vis construction. Most of the costs were for the construction materials and the cost ofbor. In the city, half of the cost of a vi was used to purchase thend in the city and a portion of the remaining costs would be for the middleman''s profit.
Thus, the final sum would obviously exceed ten million.
At first, Wu Hao had ten million in his bank. He spent about two million each for his car purchase, the road repairs, and the mountain contract. The remaining stuff which he had spent umted to hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, there was still five million left in Wu Haos bank ount.
Fortunately, he didnt need to pay for every little thing for his familys new vi. Wu Hao was just required to pay for the materials andbor costs.
As a matter of fact, he just paid as the construction progressed. The estimated time for the construction to finish would need at least three months. Even if halfway during the progress hecked the money, there would be enough time for him to prepare it.
That night during dinner, Wu Hao told his father, Dad! Im nning to go out for a few days. I want to explore other ces to see which parts ofnd in the mountain are suitable for a ntation.
Oh! Then you go and explore. Make sure you dont make any rushed decisions or elseter if the n fails, then well lose money. Instead this would bring us a lot of trouble. Wu Hongguo nodded his head as he replied.
nting herbs and nting crops were two entirely different matters. The growth cycle for herbs was rtively long; they required about a year. Some species even needed to be grown for two to three years before they could be harvested.
Therefore, in Wu Hongguos point of view, selecting a fertilend which suited the nature of the herbs was a critical matter.
En! I know. My main goal in exploring other ces is none other than to understand more about thend. Wu Hao obviously wouldnt go and explore thend as he didnt care much about the herb ntation at all.
After all, leasing the mountainnd was the very reason that he stayed in his own hometown.
His primary goal in entering the mountain and exploring around the ce was to find any valuable herbs to exchange for money. Sanyuan city was surrounded by mountains. Although these mountains werent veryrge size-wise, they were a part of the Qinling mountain range.
In the northern direction from the vige, about two to three hundred kilometers away, this was where the heart of the Qinlong mountain range was located. The mountain range was magnificent as if they were like the dragon veins. There, valuable herbs should be in an abundance.
Early in the morning on the next day, Wu Hao drove his car away from the vige. Although the road was still undergoing reconstruction and ordinary cars still couldnt pass through, it wasnt at all problem for Wu Haos car, the G500.
Wu Hao drove his car all the way to the other town. After he found a ce to park his car, he packed all the outdoor equipment and his backpacks to get ready in entering the mountains.
After confirming that there were no humans around the area, Wu Hao activated his telekinesis to use on his body and travelled along the mountain range in ease.
After travelling through the jungle for about a day, Wu Hao finally reached his destination, the heart of the Qinling mountain range. Although this area was full of mountains and rivers, there were still parts which became a tourist attraction.
However, those parts only upied a very small part of the region. A vast majority of this area was still covered with primitive forests.
The purpose of this trip for Wu Hao was to find ginseng and other valuable herbs. Although ginseng was very popr in the northeast region where the border of China and Russia was located, wild ginseng still existed in ces around the Qinling mountain range and surrounding provinces.
In this vast mountain, its really not an easy feat to find any ginsengs or valuable herbs. Although I have the advantage of telekinesis to help me travel and spiritual perception for detection, after searching for so long in these two mountains, Im still unable to find the valuable herbs that I want. After searching for a whole day, Wu Hao had encountered a number of herbs. However, they were only around ten plus years old. As for the herbs above 50 years old, Wu Hao didnt have the luck to encounter them yet.
Although these medicine would be able to be exchanged for quite the sum of money, this was not what Wu Hao wanted. His goal was to harvest herbs more than 100 years old. After all, harvesting the herbs at such an early age would seriously disrupt the bnce of the herbs!
Two dayster, Wu Hao finally found a wild ginseng which had aged for more than 200 years.
This wild ginseng was found by Wu Hao at the border of the forest. This location was very difficult for an ordinary person to get to.
Luckily, Wu Hao had his telekinesis to help him to fly and the spiritual perception to detect his surrounding. If not, he wouldnt have been able to notice the wild ginseng which grew in the border of the forest.
ording to Wu Haos own research on the inte, the price of this 200 year old wild ginseng would cost at least three to five million on the market.
In other words, he had just earned himself several million just by staying in the mountain for a few days.
Of course, although the duration seemed short, it wasnt an easy task at all. Because his spiritual perception only covered a range of tens of meters together with his telekinesis, his powers werent infinite. Thus, when he explored the mountain range, he still needed to spend quite an amount of time to restore his energy at least once or twice.
During the process of searching for the wild ginseng pver the past few days, Wu Hao also encountered many rare species of animals and nts. Of course, when he saw them, Wu Hao grabbed the golden opportunity to snap some photos of them.
Chapter 24: Selling wild ginseng
Chapter 24: Selling wild ginseng
......
After a few days, Wu Hao once again had a new harvest; this time his harvest seemed to be more than the one from two days ago.
Not only was he able to find two more 100 year old ginsengs, he was lucky enough to stumble upon one nearing 500 years old, the king of wild ginsengs.
ording to Wu Haos estimation, if this ginseng was to be sold in the market, it would at least reach the tens of millions.
After all, in this era, let alone a 500 year old ginseng, even a 100 year old ginseng was extremely rare. As for the so-called thousand year old ginseng, it was never heard of.
This treasure, even if it really did exist, most likely it was handed down from the previous generation a long time ago.
This time my tripsted over a week. Its about the time for me to go back home. After I settle all the matters at home, Ille back to this piece ofnd and live here for some time! Wu Hao who was standing beside a cliff, enjoyed the beauty of the scenery in front of him.
His main purpose here was to find ginseng to make money, besides taking some pictures of rare wild animals, he truly didnt enjoy the experience of living in the jungle wilderness.
Even these few days, his meal was basically those biscuits and ready made food which he bought from the town.
Although he could have enjoyed himself by making himself a barbeque or something, this would bring him too much trouble. Thus, these few days, he only made roasted meat for himself three times.
However, Wu Hao decided that the next time he came back here, he would make sure to enjoy the jungle life to the fullest. Unlike these few days, his mind was only upied with searching for valuable herbs.
In fact, Wu Hao couldve just gone to the northeastern mountain region if he wanted to harvest ginseng in exchange for money. After all, the area is mainly famous for wild ginsengs.
However, the northeastern region was a bit too far from his home. Although he could just fly to ande back, Wu Hao thought that it was too troublesome.
As for the Qinling mountain, although its not the main area that produced wild ginseng, there were still quite a few there. If not, how could he have found himself several ginsengs in the span of a few days.
Moreover, Wu Hao only concentrated on a small area for his search in the Qinling mountain, mainly at the peak of the Taibai mountain and the area around it.
After leaving the dense forest, Wu Haos mobile phone began to receive signal. Notification of messages began ringing consecutively. Apparently there were several missed calls too.
When he opened his phone, besides his own sisters phone call, there was one unknown number.
However, after seeing the message content, a figure emerged in Wu Haos mind.
It was actually from the car dealer at Chengdu, the beautiful salesgirl Li Xiaoyun. As for this girl, she had left an impression in Wu Haos mind. The content of the message was the matter of asking him about changing the license te. It had been two weeks since the day he bought his car, and the official license te already came out since the process had beenpleted.
After seeing the content of the messages, Wu Hao first replied to his sister, Xiaoxiao. As for Li Xiaoyun, he also messaged her back by saying that he would go to the car shop for a trip in two days.
After he reached the town, Wu Hao drove back his car back home first.There, he left some one hundred year old ginsengs as he nned to keep them for his own parents who had overused their body these past years.
As for the remaining two older ginsengs, he decided to find a buyer in Chengdu and sold them. As for ordinary people, centuries old ginsengs were too rare and too hard to be harvested. Usually, they would only eat it after cutting them into thin small slices.
Therefore, leaving some one hundred year old ginsengs at home for his parents should be enough to improve their health. Besides that, you couldnt just simply eat them in excess.
These few hundred year old ginsengs were usually used for those who wanted to extend their life and for drug purposes. Ordinary people generally wouldnt need the ginseng.
The following day, Wu Hao drove his car to Chengdu. He intended to sell these two ginsengs first. As for the license te change, it wasnt worried about it.
Baicao Hall was Chengdusrgest Chinese medicine chain. Even in other cities in the country, you could find several stores of Baicao Hall. Wu Hao then stopped his car at a parking lot near the store and walked into it; carrying a stic bag.
As for the salesperson in the store, since she saw Wu Haoe down from the domineering Benz, she of course greeted him with a smile when Wu Hao was still far away.
Mister, wee to Baicao Hall. May I help you with anything?
I am here not to buy stuff. I just want to ask if you here buy ginseng here? I have two wild ginsengs in my hand to be exchanged. Wu Hao said while pointing at the stic bag in his hand.
The salesperson looked at the stic bag in his hand and was stupefied. Her heart was very suspicious whether the stic bag really contained wild ginseng.
However, since she saw Wu Hao came with a big Benz, she still respectfully replied to Wu Hao although her heart somehow didnt believe his words.
Our store here doesnt only sell herbs. We do ept a variety of herbs too. If mister is here to sell wild ginseng, pleasee with me here.
No problem. Wu Hao nodded and then followed the salesperson to a counter. At the counter, there was a middle-aged man who was in charge of identifying herbs.
The moment when Wu Hao took out the two ginsengs and ced them in front of him, the middle-aged mans eyes immediately stared fixedly at them without blinking.
Mister, these are indeed wild ginseng. However, we still need to confirm the specific year for them.
Okay, please identify them then. Wu Hao nodded indifferently. Although he had learned a lot information about ginseng from the inte, he still wasnt an expert. Therefore, he could only estimate their age.
Baicao Hall was such a huge store. It certainly wouldntck any professionals in this area.
As a result, the middle-aged man went inside the interior of the store and called out a man. A few momentster, a man of at least 60 years came out.
These are indeed wild ginseng. From the look of them, they should have been unearthed not long ago. Their origin should be from the central region. Mister, do you intend to sell these two wild ginseng?
Old men do indeed have good eyesight. These wild ginsengs were unearthed a few days ago. I intend to sell them provided the price offered is reasonable! Wu Hao replied with a smile.
Hehe! Mister, you dont have to worry. Our store, Baicao Hall, will definitely offer you a fair price. The old man smiled while touching his beard. These two ginseng, one of them should be about 225 years old while the other should be around 553 years old.
This 225 year old ginseng I could offer you 5 million; the other one, the 553 year old, 20 million. I wonder if mister is satisfied with the price we offered? In fact if these wild ginseng were to be put in auction, the price would definitely be higher than the one the old man offered. However, since it was through a direct transaction, the price offered definitely wasnt low.
Hearing such an offer from the old man, Wu Hao was satisfied with it. With a smile, Wu Hao said, Alright, Ill go with this price.
Chapter 25: Having a load in mind!
Chapter 25: Having a load in mind!
......
The next step was very simple. After he heard the yes from Su Hao, the old man then requested a staff to get him the checkbook to sign a check worth 25 million.
Apparently, this old man was the boss of the store. Usually, he wouldnt manage much regarding store matters. Only when the store encountered some important matter would he would personally step forward.
After thepletion of the transaction, the old man then exchanged contact information with Wu Hao. He told Wu Hao to contact him when there was any such long year old herbs. Naturally, Wu Hao would agree to do so.
However, as for the future whether he would continue making money by selling herbs, that would depend on the situation.
This was because from Wu Haos point of view, as long as he had enough money to spend, he wouldnt need to be in any rush to make more money.
For now, he might just concentrate in training his telekinesis and spiritual perception. After all, what he had today was all thanks to his ability.
Therefore, to improve his telekinesis and spiritual perception to a higher level was also an important matter to him.
The bad news was, in recent days, the growth rate of his ability had slowed down significantly.
Wu Hao had this kind of weird feeling that his telekinesis and spiritual perception might stop growing forever another few days. During his days in the forest, the progress was extremely fast.
After all, he was searching for medical herbs all the time in the mountain. To travel around, he constantly used his telekinesis to fly and repeatedly restored his fuel tank with the breathing technique. Naturally, his improvement would be multiple times better than the usual growth.
Currently, Wu Haos telekinesis could almost lift up 900 kg objects. Whereas for his spiritual perception, he had reached a radius of 100 meters.
However, in recent days, he felt that his ability growth had slowed down significantlypared tost time. Perhaps this was the so-called bottleneck or his ability could only grow to such an extent.
No matter what kind of situation he was currently facing, Wu Hao had decided that after dealing the matters at home, he would seriously increase his understanding about his ability.
After leaving Baicao Hall, Wu Hao directly drove his car to the car dealer. The one who weed him naturally was the same salesgirl, Li Xiaoyun.
Mister Wu, I still havent properly thanked you thest time you bought the car! Thus, I would like to invite you for dinner tonight to express my gratitude. After changing the official te number, Li Xiaoyun was acting hesitantly. During the veryst moment when Wu Hao was about to leave, she bravely gathered her guts to utter out the statement. (T/N: Smooth~ operator..)
Wu Hao, who was about to start moving his car, was slightly surprised for a moment. Okay! Looking at the time now, you must be about to finish your work. Ill wait until you get off work then. We can go together! (T/N: Smooth~ smooth~ like a butter) (E/N: Like a butter.....noment)
Although Wu Hao was ready to go home, this time around, when he came here, he felt that todays Li Xiaoyun was somehow different than thest one.
Also when Li Xiaoyun invited him just now, he noticed that she had hesitated and needed to gather courage to muster out the statement. Therefore, Wu Hao felt that she must have some reason to invite him. Thus, he wasnt willing to refuse her good thought. Plus, Li Xiaoyun was a beauty!
Thanks. Then, I would have to bother Mister Wu to wait awhile. Li Xiaoyun seeing that Wu Hao had agreed, was somehow in the mixture of happiness and shyness. In short, it was such a rich expression on her face.
Soon, when not even 30 minutes had passed, Li Xiaoyun came out from the car store and headed towards the direction of the parking lot of Wu Haos car.
And this scene happened to be seen by a few colleagues of Li Xiaoyun.
Never have I expected that this little girl had found herself a target. And here I thought how innocent she was!
The owner of this car was that youngster who brought along big and small bags while buying the car. It was just that we overlooked him that she was able to pick him up cheap. Such sales people like themselves when dealing with customers, they would inevitably encounter a variety of requirements and conditions. In order to sell the car, most of them would just go with the flow to meet the customers request. This situation had already be the norm in various industries.
Of course, that wasnt entirely the case. There were still some girls who stuck to their bottom lines to the very end. Li Xiaoyun was one of them. But now, she was about to fall into the same category.
When Li Xiaoyun entered the car, he noticed the appearance of Li Xiaoyun; as if she had something on her mind but hesitated to say.
To encounter such a situation, Wu Hao was more than sure in his heart that this girl must have some matters. Although his heart had such spections, Wu Hao didnt say anything or ask about it. He just continued the flow with the small talk.
Just like that, the car began to exit the automobile centre and reached the main door of a restaurant. This restaurant was nowhere luxurious and could only be considered as a popr family dining ce.
Entering the restaurant, Wu Hao requested for a private room and casually ordered several dishes. Although it was supposed to be Li Xiaoyuns treat, Wu Hao never thought to let her pay at all.
During the meal, Li Xiaoyun unexpectedly ordered a bottle of red wine. At first, Wu Hao decided to not drink due to having to driveter. However, considering that Li Xiaoyun obviously had something on her mind, he just went with the flow and apanied her for a few sses. (T/N: usual tactic...haizzz)
Li Xiaoyun usually didnt consume alcoholic drinks. With just a ss, her face began to glow red.
Although Wu Hao in the past hadnt had red wine before, he still managed to drink several bottle of beers at once. Now with his telekinesis and spiritual perception, one or two sses of wine wouldnt affect his ability to drive.
Moreover, even if there was a roadblock by the police, Wu Hao had nothing to worry. This was because during the moment of inspection, Wu Hao could just use his telekinesis to control his air puff to not have contact with the breathalyzer. Everything would be fine then.
Plus, the roadblock was for drunk driving, the probability of encountering it was still very low. Unless it was during a specific holiday season, the traffic police wouldnt bother much to detect drunk driving usually.
After dinner, Wu Hao obviously didnt let Li Xiaoyun settle the bill. After all, letting a girl to treat wasnt a problem, but regarding settling the bill, forget about it! (T/N: So a girl can treat you but you pay the bill? LOL sad life as an asian. Such culture in themunity)
Where do you live? Let me send you back! Leaving the restaurant, Wu Hao wanted to do so as he saw Li Xiaoyun was dizzy and unstable when she walked, due to the drink. (Smooth, smooth)
Then, I will have to bother you! Li Xiaoyun didnt refuse his offer. Usually, she didnt drink and with the high alcohol content in the red wine, she was somehow a bit dizzy. Moreover, the reason which she wanted to meet Wu Hao; she hadnt said it yet!
Entering the car, Li Xiaoyun told him her home address and began to show that hesitant expression again. This time, maybe due to the alcohols influence, within a few minutes, Li Xiaoyun gathered her courage and said to Wu Hao who was driving.
Mister Wu, be my sugar daddy! Having said that, the originally red face of Li Xiaoyun became even redder. She kept her head low and didnt dare to look at Wu Hao.
Wu Hao who was driving heard the statement; his body showed a slight flick reaction as he was very surprised and didnt expect iting.
Never had he expected that one day, he himself would use this phrase be my sugar daddy. The most unexpected part of it, it was a girl who took the initiative on him!
Chapter 26: First come, first serve
Chapter 26: Firste, first serve
......
Prior to this, although Wu Hao had spected Li Xiaoyun to have something on her mind, he thought it would be something like breaking up, losing love; that sort of matter.
But he really hadnt expected, even the tiniest bit, to be in current situation. This was because from Wu Haos perspective, Li Xiaoyun wasnt the gold-digging kind of woman. If not, Wu Hao wouldnt even bother to have any contact with her.
Therefore, from the way Li Xiaoyun stated her desire in such hesitant tone, it wasnt naturally difficult for Wu Hao to guess that this girl certainly was in a pinch and facing some huge wall of difficulties.
However, in order to not hurting her self-esteem, Wu Hao didnt try to get more information from her. Instead, he just casually replied, I can do that, how much do you need?
Seeing Wu Hao agree in such straightforward manner, Li Xiaoyun no longer felt shy. She hesitated for a moment and said, 500 thousand, can you do it? After finishing her statement, she secretly took a peek at Wu Hao.
No problem! Wu Hao smiled.
Hearing Li Xiaoyun asking for 500 thousand the moment she opened her mouth, Wu Hao was more or less assured that this girl seemed to encounter some difficulties.
Otherwise, if it was a simple usual sugar daddy request, it wouldn''t be something like how Li Xiaoyun acted.
At the same time when Li Xiaoyun saw that Wu Hao just agreed without any hesitation, a feeling of reprehension at herself began to linger in her heart. However, as for the current her, this was the only method for her to raise such a huge amount of cash in a short amount of time.
Thank you! Although she had to betray her own morals in order to raise the money for her moms surgery, Li Xiaoyun didnt regret at all.
Because of that, it became awkward and embarrassing in the car for her. Soon, Wu Hao broke the silence atmosphere. Your house should be somewhere around here!
Li Xiaoyun moved her sight. Through the door, she noticed that the car had arrived at a street near her house.
Yea! Why dont youe over to my house? Li Xiaoyun said with some blush giving a hint.
Actually, to say such words, she had to gather lots of courage. However, since Wu Hao had agreed to her request, she would definitely fulfill hermitment.
When Wu Hao heard her invitation, if he still did not understand the meaning behind it, then he really did waste his life of more than 20 years. Although he was tempted by the invitation, he decided to not take advantage of someones crisis after some consideration. (T/N: No!!!) (E/N: Guess hes a white knight)
This time he had to spend 500 thousand to have a sugar baby. From Wu Haos perspective, even if he really was serious in bing a sugar daddy, there wasnt a need to rush.
Tonight I have something to do, lets just wait for another day! Oh yea, give me your card number. Wu Hao smiled while he declined such a good invitation.
Oh! Okay then! Then when you need it, just give me a call! The current feeling of Li Xiaoyun was somehow relieved yet mixed with some hint of disappointment. She was relieved because she actually hadnt prepared herself at all for such an event. She was disappointed because of Wu Hao not showing much interest in her. She felt that she wasnt attractive enough.
However, although it was such aplicated feeling in Li Xiaoyuns heart now, she still gave her card number to Wu Hao.
After Wu Hao dropped her off at the building downstairs, he then drove away. While driving away, at the same time, he transferred the money to Li Xiaoyuns bank ount through his smartphone.
However, the money transferred was not 500 thousand. It was 600 thousand instead. After he finished the transaction, he felt that he needed to leave a message to her for some exnation.
On the other side, Li Xiaoyun who had just reached her home not long ago, received two text messages. One of the text messages was about the bank transfer. The other one was from Wu Hao which stated, The extra 100 thousand is for you to get some nice clothes. I have to go back home first. If theres anything, just give me a call.
As she finished reading the text message, Li Xiaoyuns heart was moved. She naturally knew that the matter of Wu Hao giving her so much money was entirely just to help her. Before that, he didnt even ask for her reasons regarding the request; he must have not wanted to hurt her pride.
Otherwise, how would Wu Hao just casually give money to her plus an additional 100 thousand of his own will without making any demands yet.
Li Xiaoyun was definitely moved by the message and quickly replied back. Thank you! I will fulfil my promise! Her words were definitely true since Wu Hao had promised to give her money, then from this moment onwards, she belonged to Wu Hao.
After allparing to the other guy who was a yboy, offering himself to be a sugar daddy, Wu Hao gave a much better impression to her. Before this, she didnt hate Wu Hao and now, her feelings had turned into never-ending gratitude.
When Wu Hao was driving on his way back home, he received the reply from Li Xiaoyun. He only smiled and didnt put this matter into his heart.
On the other side, Li Xiaoyun who was lying down on the bed, waiting for Wu Haos reply. As she noticed that Wu Hao hadnt replied back for quite some time, she began to hesitate in sending another message or calling up him. When she was in a dilemma, a telephone number which made her fed up appeared on the screen. Looking at the number, Li Xiaoyun, who originally wanted to reject the call, stopped for a moment. In order to prevent any future harassments, it was better for her to clear this up.
Xiaoyun, regarding the matter which I mentionedst time, had you finished considering? As long as you agree to be my lover, Ill pay for all the expenses on your mothers operation.
The moment the call was connected, Li Xiaoyun began to hear such ufortable sounds.
Zhou Rongxing, you dont have to call me anymore. As for my moms surgery costs, I have gathered it. Li Xiaoyun immediately ended the call once finished her statement.
Hey.......... On the other side of the phone, Zhou Ronxing, who was about to pursue her, didnt have any chance to open his mouth and was hung up on by Li Xiaoyun, his facial expression changed. F*ck, this smelly bitch dares to close daddys call. Zhou Rongxing cursed; his heart was filled with anger.
Then he recalled something like, This bitch said that she had raise the money for her mothers surgery? Thats impossible, her familys economic conditions I have already investigated clearly. How could she raise that much money in one or two days? This is 500 thousand! Dont tell me........ Thinking of this, Zhou Rongxing began to show a dark face.
Hmmm. Id like to see who dares to destroy my hard work. After carefully thinking, Zhou Rongxing naturally knew that Li Xiaoyun had definitely agreed to other people in order to gather 500 thousand in such a short amount of time.
When he thought of such a situation, Zhou Rongxing was bursting in anger. After all, Li Xiaoyun had always been his target for a long time. Now such a huge opportunity for him to seed had been taken away by another man, how could he not be angry?!
Zhou Rongxing only knew Li Xiaoyun for a short period of time. It was just less than six months. At the beginning, he tried to pursue Li Xiaoyun countless times but he had been rejected by her.
However, the situation began to change. This was because through the investigations, Zhou Rongxing knew the current situation of Li Xiaoyuns family; that her mother was very ill and needed arge sum of money to pay for an operation.
......

Chapter 27: The Reason for the Brain Development
......
Once he knew about the situation, Zhou Rongxing, who originally couldnt seed in his pursuit, began to pay more attention to this piece of information. He decided to make a move on Li Xiaoyun from this perspective.
In fact, in the heart of Zhou Rongxing, he didnt intend to give that much cash at once. Although he is the rich second generation young master with his familys asset worth several millions, his monthly allowance was only up to the hundreds of thousands.
Plus with his usual heavy spending, this money definitely wasnt enough to satisfy his craving to spend. Therefore, he only intended to make use of this situation to get his hands on Li Xiaoyun first before mentioning anything else.
As for the money, he just had to give a small portion at that point and with a little trick included, this should have been enough.
......
On the other hand, Wu Hao who was taking advantage of theck of vehicles on the road at night, there wasnt a traffic jam at all along his journey. In less than four hours, he managed to return to his hometown. As usual, he began his daily routine; training his telekinesis ability and recovery via the breathing technique.
Its very obvious that the growth of my ability begins to slow down in its rate. By the way this situation progress, in a few days time, the growth would bepletely halted. Do I really need to get something like CPH4 to stimte my brain? Wu Hao silently pondered by himself.(E/N: CPH4 as in thepound in the movie Lucy that makes her a god pretty much.)
As for his brain mutation which enabled him to obtain the telekinesis and spiritual perception ability, during his free time he did spend some time to do some research about the data and information from the inte.
Because his telekinesis and spiritual perception were all obtained since the idental fall, his brain received the impact from the fall which then triggered the activation of these abilities.
As for these abilities, from his research from various information sources and resources from the inte, they were somehow simr in a way with the protagonist in the Hollywood movie named Body. (T/N: I am not sure what movie is this since I direct tl into english from the chinese title but most probably should be referring to Lucy)
They were both simr where they were involved in some random situation which then triggered the activation of their brain power which then allowed them to have some abnormal ability. Although the situation he encountered was different from what the protagonist in the movie had, the overall experience and the the way they obtained their abilities were quite simr.
The protagonist in the movie, due to her integration with CPH4, this theory stated that the strong energy from this molecule was the culprit responsible in mutating her brain. This caused her to be able to open up some new domain in her brain within the short period of time of several days.
Besides a great improvement in physical aspect, her memory and learning curve had increased by leaps and bounds. This then allowed her to control her own senses which then made her able to perceive all sorts of energy signals from various materials around her.
Although her perception and Wu Haos spiritual perception were quite simr, at the very beginning, the protagonist in the movie was only able to increase her physical aspects. This eventually led to her enormous improvement in memory and learning capabilities. In the early stages, she wasnt able to manipte objects at all.
As for Wu Hao, he was theplete opposite of her. Although his physical aspect did have a bit of improvementpared to the previous him, it was something negligible. However, his memory did improved by a huge margin. It was just that it hadnt reached the stage where he would never forget anything he saw with monstrous learning curve.
As for these differences, Wu Hao didnt put it to heart. After all, this was just an imaginary character created in a movie.
Although Wu Hao was convinced now that he had gained telekinesis and spiritual perception, it must have been some external factor which had evolved his brain.
After all, besides this exnation, Wu Hao really couldnt find any other reasonable exnations to answer his current condition.
However, in the film, although the protagonists brain evolved at such a fast rate, it was very unstable. This part even nearly made her turn into energy molecules.
Now, Wu Haos telekinesis had gradually slowed down in improvement. Naturally, he would be curious about it. Although his current telekinesis was absolutely powerful and monstrous, he could only control up to 900 plus kg objects.
This kind of powerpared to the character in another movie, the difference was too far apart. In the other movie Chronicle, a few protagonists could control several cars flying together all over the sky. To achieve such a feat, the telekinesis needed to be able to control at least several ten of tons!
The current capability of Wu Hao obviously couldnt manage to control the big cars category. At most, he could only control a motorcycle or small electric vehicles.
Of course, the information and capabilities were from fictional films. Wu Hao only used them as references for their ability. After all, the way he obtained the abilities were somehow different from the protagonists in the movies.
However, this so-called CPH4 molecule in the body only exists in movie form. I had never heard of such a name in reality so far. Moreover, even if it was true, I wouldnt be able to get ahold of it. Thinking this, Wu Hao helplessly shook his head. Obviously this idea was only something he thought of casually.
Because if this molecule really did exist in reality, and he would be lucky to get some in his hands, but also he wouldnt dare to consume them!
After all, the protagonist in the movie who took the molecule, she was able to activate the domain of her brain; enabling her an almost magical and unimaginable power. But for the others, these molecules were actually poison.
Wu Hao didnt think that he would be able to be like the protagonist, integrate with the molecules and became an existence stronger than any human.
From the theory in the film, this CPH4 was a substance produced by the pregnant mother during pregnancy. This substance was responsible for the fusion between the sperm and egg to be material for the human body to form. From the interpretation of the film, only a miniscule amount of thepound was needed for the fetus to develop the brain and bone formation.
In other words to put it simply, these kind of molecules contained a very strong and powerful energy. Even if these molecules really did exist, one wouldnt be able to withstand the impact from the energy during the integration with the molecules.
It was due to this reason that many humans who consumed the molecules died after a moment. Because human body could never withstand such a powerful and fierce energy fusion, only the protagonist in the movie was the exception.
Using the probability of one in several millions wasnt something exaggerated. This was because it didnt guarantee that anyone who consumed the molecules to be able to mutate.
After pondering for awhile, Wu Hao no longer continued with his thoughts about this. Instead, he went back to his daily routine; training his telekinesis and restoring the energy through the special breathing technique.
Although the growth rate of Wu Haos ability began to drop, it still hadnt stopped. Even if the growth rate was haltedpletely, Wu Hao still wouldnt give up and would keep repeating the cycle.
After all, after he had used up his energy and recovered through the breathing technique, he noticed that his recovery duration kept getting shorter. This was obviously good in its own way. Thus, it was naturally a must to keep this cycle as a daily routine.
Who knows, if he kept repeating his daily routine, his telekinesis might start to improve again!
Of course, as for now, it was only Wu Haos personal assumption. As for his ability whether it would keep growing or through whatever method to improve, it wasnt something he could answer now.
......
Chapter 28: Raising budget [Second night]
Chapter 28: Raising budget [Second night]
......
The following two days, Wu Hao found himself a construction team for his new vi. He told them that it was fine for them to increase the budget for the construction.
Facing customers who allow increasing of the budget, the construction team definitely loved such propositions. Thus, that very day, a new n had been drawn out and determined.
As for this npared to the original vis n, not many changes had been made. They just reced the construction material to a better one and improved the interior decoration design and facilities.
The most important change was the n regarding the garden surrounding the vi. ording to the previous n, the vi would only upy a small portion of thend; being surrounded byrge garden. The garden was also very simple with nothing more than flower nts and trees nted all over.
But now with Wu Haos own initiative to increase the budget, things were heading in a different direction. Plus, Wu Hao was the contractor of that piece ofnd coupled with the fact that there werent as many regtions in rural housing construction.
Since Wu Hao had sold more than 20 million yuan worth of ginsengs, he didntck any cash at all. That was the reason he was fine with redrawing the ns for the big piece ofnd surrounding the vi.
After having a talk with the construction team designer with some sketches down, Wu Hao didnt ask much about what the final results would look like. Instead, he just approved the ns without much consideration.
What the changes were all about was they will dig at one spot of thend to build a pond. Also included in the new ns, a garden which gives a simr vibe to those of western vis; linked by pavilions and small bridges with a man-made stream flowing in between, these were not left out.
As the western garden surrounded the vi, a swimming pool would be built too.
This kind of nning definitely resembled a small estates design and nning. Plus, the garden of the vi was even bigger than most ordinary vis. Well, who was the one who didnt restrict much on building construction in rural area!
If there was one thing toin about, it would be the vi itself. Although the vi was a three storey vi, the total rooms all together would reach a dozen; this definitely paled inparison to the real estate.
However, the main purpose of Wu Hao building this vi was none other than letting his parents and sister have a better ce to stay. Thus, not much area was needed to fulfil the purpose.
As for his himself, although he would temporarily stay at this vi, it was hard to say regarding his future. As long as he had his own room in the house, he would be satisfied. The most important factor here was to have a nice environment surrounding the house.
As for such therge garden ns, even if this was constructed at the price rate for rural areas, the overall cost was about 10 million. In other words, including the original budget with the current additional 10 million plus the furniture and other facilities, the total amount of money spent by Wu Hao on this vi was close to 20 million.
But! Even if this seemed to be a huge amount of money, it was definitely worthy it for every penny spent. Because for such arge scale building, if it was built in the city, the cost would at least need 100 million.
Hao er, I heard from the construction team that you have added quite the budget into the vis construction. Even if youve obtained this money easily, you still mustnt spend as you like without any regard! This day, Wu Hongguo came to find Wu Hao and couldnt hold himself back voicing out his dissatisfaction.
Since Wu Hao was single-handedly in charge of overlooking the whole construction process, Wu Hao had told the team leader of the crew to hide the real cost from his father from the very beginning.
Thus, Wu Hongguo had always thought that the cost of this vi was only a little over one million!
Now with the additional budget from Wu Hao, although Wu Hongguo didnt know the specific amount, he knew a little bit about this matter from some of the construction workers.
After all, the new nning from the additional budget required some digging work on the previous supposedly emptynd surrounding the vi. Even if Wu Hao wanted to conceal it, it would be an impossible task.
Dad! There is nothing to worry about! You dont have to worry about matters regarding money. I forget to tell you that few days ago, I found some wild ginsengs in the mountain and earned quite the sum of money from there. Although Wu Hao didnt intend to inform his parents about the price of the vi, as for his source of money,he still had to briefly exin it to them.
Wild ginseng? Wu Hongguo said with some frown in his face. Even though he didnt know much about the price of wild ginseng, he had at least heard from other people that it wasnt easy to find and harvest wild ginseng. Thus, this herb was extremely valuable.
Yes, wild ginseng! During my trip to the Winling mountains, I happened to stumble upon them by chance! Wu Hao casually said.
Alright then! As for how you managed to find it, I wont ask you any further. As long as you are not wasteful and manage the money properly, I will have noints. Wu Hongguo looked at Wu Hao and no longer bothered him with any more questions. He just sternly warned him for thest time.
In fact, from the time Wu Hao returned back home, Wu Hongguo had noticed that his son had became different from the past. As for what the difference was, he couldnt yet tell. Anyway, he at least knew that his son was more capable now than ever.
Seeing his own dad speaking with such a serious tone, Wu Hao naturally understood the meaning behind his fathers statement and nodded his head. Dad, I know what I''m doing.
In fact, Wu Hao wasnt unwilling to tell his parents about his current circumstances, but because he was afraid they would be worried about him when they knew about it. This was because his ability was too monstrous. If this was identally leaked outside from his family members, he didnt dare to imagine what kind of trouble would be awaiting them!
Although Wu Hao now had telekinesis and spiritual perception,he was after all still a newbie and fresh blood. With his control over his abilities not being great enough, there were still many things in this world which could threaten him.
Forget about advanced human firearms, even deep in the mountains, Wu Hao didnt dare im to be invincible.
Of course, if it was to ensure his own safety, Wu Haos ability could still barely manage to do so.
As long as he didnt face any attacks from heavy firearms, Wu Hao would be able topletely resist thosemon guns and bullets.
As for deep in the mountains, excluding a number of toxic creatures andrge beasts, Wu Hao would be able to deal with any creatures. Even if he wasnt able to deal with them, to self protect himself wasnt too difficult. After all, he had the telekinesis to help him fly.
If he really couldnt go head on and face with bigger beasts like: tigers, bears ,rge wild boars, and etc, he could have just calmly escape the scene by flying.
This was just like the case when he went and explored the Qinling mountains. In the depth of the Qinlings jungle, although it wasnt often, he did indeed encounter those big beasts like, tigers, and bears those kind of animals.
When Wu Hao encountered them, he didnt try to provoke any such beast. After all, his brain could only control several hundreds kilogram.
Those kinds of beasts like tigers and bears, they had very explosive force which would definitely not be just a few hundred kilograms. Thus, Wu Hao thought that it would bepletely impossible to control such beasts. If there was even one single mistake, they would definitely bolt towards him and destroy him with their bite. Wu Hao definitely wouldnt do such a dangerous thing.
......
Chapter 29: Endangered species [Third night]
Chapter 29: Endangered species [Third night]
......
As for the fierce beasts like tiger and bear, how great was their strength? Wu Hao wasnt clear about them.
Just from a man, hundreds of kilograms of force could burst out. If you were topare this, these kind of beasts with such strength, they would at least able to exert out at least thousands of kilograms of force or even more.
In fact, ording to a study done by experts, the end result had drawn a general conclusion that an adult Amur tigers hit could reach a maximum of ten thousand pounds and above.
A strength of ten thousand pounds is equivalent to four thousand plus kilograms of force.
It was not an exaggeration to say that any ordinary human who received a p on the face from such beasts, there was almost no possibility to survive.
Coupled with their powerful bites and ferocious attacks, it was something even more terrifying.
Otherwise, how could tigers crush the skulls of their prey like sheep and cattle.
As for the deeper region of the forests bears and otherrge species, it was needless to say that these monsterspletely relied on their brute force to hunt. The difficulty in subduing them definitely wasnt easy at all.
As for the ones which Wu Hao had encountered in Qinling were just southern Chinese tigers, their body strength and size are not as ferocious as their counterpart, the Siberian tigers. Even so, they were still something which Wu Hao couldnt face head on right now.
Of course, if Wu Hao wished to kill them, it still wasnt a problem. Although his telekic force wasnt able to control them, as long as he can fly up to the sky, he didnt have to worry much about their attacks. While flying, he would just have to control his flying weapon and kill them.
Although these beasts had thick skin, they were after all, still flesh and blood. Under the situation of continuous attacks by sharp weapons, eventually their thick flesh wouldnt be able to withstand it and eventually death would be brought upon them.
However, Wu Hao wasnt a poacher. However, he wouldnt ever do so, he wouldnt kill these wid beasts which were the countrys rare and endangered species.
If it was hundreds or thousands of years ago, perhaps it was still possible to kill them to get the tiger skin etc.
But now in modern society, these species were almost on the brink of extinction especially the Siberian tiger. ording to the current data, in the whole world, the number of Siberian tigers only amounted to within 300 to 400 only.
Most of them live in some remote areas of Siberia and Russia with a cold climate. Whereas in northeastern China, only about 20 Siberian tigers live in the wild.
Even if the data wasnt correct and had some errors, its true number in the wild probably wont be a lot either.
As for those living in southern China, the number of wild South China Tigers living in the jungle was unknown. This was because in recent decades, human had not encountered any traces of a South China Tiger in the wild.
Of course, not being encountered by humans doesnt mean extinction of the species. After all, human wouldnt be able topletely explore every inch of the forest. Plus, it was even needless to talk about encountering this species which was the top predator in the food chain.
As for Wu Hao, who happened to stumble upon a few of the tigers, it wasnt an exaggeration to say he was filled with enormous luck.
After all, this era was not like hundreds of years ago. Where as long as you entered the jungle, you would be able to meet a tiger.
Since the birth of firearms by human, the wild animals in the forest had always been the target of the hunters.
Especially fifty to sixty years ago, the numbers of mountain tigers in China were numerous. But a few decadester, South China Tigers across the whole of China were facing the danger of extinction.
Worse still, most of the humanmunity had thought that the wild tigers in southern region had really gone extinct.
That was why a few decades ago, the government had officially dered that South China Tigers as the treasure of the country as a measure to protect them against hunting.
It is a hard fact but yea, all the species dered by the government to be the treasured species or those which were already confirmed to be extinct; these are all single handedly caused by humans alone.
Thus, the three encounters by Wu Hao in the Qinling mountains was definitely his big luck!
However, besides the first encounter where Wu Hao took the opportunity to snap some picture of it, the found thetter two through his spiritual perception.
In fact, the reasons Wu Hao took photos of the wild animals in the forest was to show off to his circle of friends.
Butter he thought; these tigers and bears werent something which could be casually encountered.
Especially the South China Tiger. To encounter it was definitely a huge stroke of luck. Not to mention that he was able to snap some photos of it. If it was encountered by some random ordinary people, this was definitely not a joke.
Unless the counterpart was full or ones luck was extremely high, that persons head would definitely end up inside the stomach of the tiger.
Of course if you had firearms and stood with some distance from it, you should be able to respond in time which would be your life insurance.
But to explore these endless deste mountains, this was definitely not an easy task.
Even if you explore deep in the mountains, it wasnt easy to encounter them. Wu Hao had to thank his spiritual perception which could easily detect them hidden within the tall trees.
Therefore, after considering all the trouble he might face if he showed the pictures to his friends, Wu Hao finally withdrew his idea.
As early as the year 2008, there was an incident called Tigers week.
The main content of the incident was someone who imed to spent time in the wild and was able to snap photos of South China Tigers.
At that time, the media went crazy over it for a while. Even all those experts started to step up to the public.
But the end result was that it was just a photoshopped picture. In the end, this was a fake im.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if Wu Hao uploaded the pictures he took to the inte, without even one day passing by, it would be the hot topic of the nation.
After all, the photos which Wu Hao took were not normal photos but 360 degree full range shooting!
Even when the tiger was showing its fangs, trying to attack Wu Hao who was flying, the whole incident was photographed through the camera. Even more so, a video was recorded too!
Dont ask how Wu Hao did that. Having this cheat ability, dont say shooting thosend beasts, even the soaring bird in the sky, Wu Hao was able to take shoot every angle of aerial photography.
However, since the purpose of Wu Hao exploring the mountains a few days ago was to find herbs, naturally he didnt take any initiative to snap the photos of the birds flying in the sky. Only that when he was searching for herbs, he happened to stumble upon rare animals. That was why he took the opportunity to snap some photos.
While videos of South China Tigers and other treasured species like pandas were able to be seen on television, they were all in the zoo.
But in the wild, normally ordinary people wouldnt have any chance to do so.
However, it was still much easier to encounter those pandas than South China Tigers in the Qinling mountains.
After all, the number of wild pandas was still over one thousand.
This species, the South China Tiger, had been dered extinct by humans. Not to mention in the wild, even through artificial breeding, the amount of such tigers in the world was only a little more than one hundred.
This waspletely less than the nationally treasured pandas and Siberian tigers. However, it was because the hunting of the South China Tigers was more numerouspared to Siberian tigers. Even if there were still some of them left, they wouldnt leave the deep mountains to prevent themselves from being hunted.
Possibly, in this country, there were only a few or at most a dozen left. Otherwise, how could humans not have encountered them for the past several decades.
Perhaps it might be because of the state prohibits the hunting activities. After all, ordinary people would never dare to enter the deep mountains just to find these beasts.
As for those expert who study wild animals and etc, whatever conclusion they came upon, they would only dare to find clues from the edge of the forest.
......
Chapter 30: What is backpacker? [Fourth night]
Chapter 30: What is backpacker? [Fourth night]
......
In a blink of an eye, one week had passed. For the whole week, Wu Hao didnt stay at his old home the whole day. Instead, he went to the city to visit apany which specialised in herbal ntations. There, he ordered a batch of herbs and fruit seedlings.
Ordering such things was definitely for the ntation on the mountainnd which he contracted. However, to settle this huge piece ofnd wasnt something which could be done in a few days.
Fortunately, Wu Hao had no intentions to make money by nting these things. nting fruit trees was just to add some variety to thend surrounding the new vi.
As for nting herbs, he was just trying his luck. As long as the seedlings have been nted, not much care would be needed to be given to them.
Regarding the family crop and the seven to eight big pigs which they reared, Wu Hao let his parents to settle them. As for their harvest this year, Wu Hao had nothing to say about it. One thing which he was very sure of, that from next year onwards, he wouldnt let his parents do such hard work anymore.
After all, not only fieldwork could not earn much but it was also very tiring too. For a family to raise seven to eight pigs, this was not an easy feat. Everyday, they would need to spend a lot of time feeding the pigs. Usually, it would take at least a half days time to do so.
But these few fat pigs were easy to be settled. This was because these pigs were about to be ready to be sold. Even the smallest one already reached about 180kg.
Currently, two of those pigs had been ughtered. Their meats were used as the daily meals for the workers in the construction team. From Wu Haos estimation, by the time the new vi waspletely built, all the pigs would most likely have been ughtered for food.
Until the new year arrived, his parents would be able to officially stop doing all the field work. As long as they spent some time supervising the orchard and nting some nts, their job will be done.
After all, Wu Haos parents have been doing farm work all year round. Plus with their poor lifestyle in a rural area, any little activity could easily trigger illness for them.
Perhaps his own parents had already gotten used to such a lifestyle, they were able to bepletely rxed andfortably lived through such days!
Now, Wu Haos telekinesis had also stopped growing. His telekic strength had halted at the border of around 1000kg.
At present, the situation in his home could be considered cleared. Regarding the matter of the cement road to his vige, the construction had finally beenpleted two days ago. The vi was still in the middle of construction and under themand of his father, many vigers had been hired to clear off the mountainnd which he contracted.
Dad, mom! I intend to travel for some time with my friends. That day after dinner, Wu Hao told his ns to his parents.
Going out with friends? You already have a girlfriend? Once Wu Hongguo heard the statement from Wu Hao, he was a bit curious.
Son, why do you wait till now before telling your family that you already have a girlfriend? Who is she? Hearing such a thing, Wu Haos mother was very happy.
After all, Wu Hao had graduated from his tertiary education (university). He was now over 20 years old. However since then, they had never heard him mention anything about him being in a rtionship.
Mom, not a girlfriend! Im just going out for a trip to the mountains with several backpackers. Wu Hao bitterly replied. He was now single. Although during the trips in recent days, he had the chance to get closer to two girls, that didnt mean they were at the stage to be in any rtionship.
The one whom he had brushed up with on the bus, Qin Sisi, besides the early few days when they still kept in touch in Wechat and QQ, they hadnt been contacting each other in recent days.
However, whenever Wu Hao opened the social media site page, he would still be able to update himself on thetest developments of her life.
Qin Sisi was an impable beauty. Within her circle of friends, whenever there was any status updates or new photos uploaded, thements below would be very long.
Wu Hao would asionally look at hertest developments (E/N: Hes such a creeper). He would only casually look and as for thements below, he wouldnt bother with them. As for private messaging her, he would naturally wouldnt do such things.
This was because Wu Hao didnt have any intentions to be closer with her. After all, they only had a very little contact between each other. Even though both had the others Wechat, they could at most be considered good online friends!
As for the other one Li Xiaoyun who he had some contact with, he was more familiar with this girl.The main reason, it was something easy to guess. Wu Hao had given her hundreds of thousands of fees to be her sugar daddy!
Even atter times, Wu Hao did have some contact with her and exined to her several times that the money was considered as a loan. He told her not to worry much about it but her response really made him speechless. No matter how he persuaded her, she kept insisting that the promise which she had made, she would naturally fulfil her duty!
Facing such a situation, what can Wu Hao say to her anymore! He could only act ordingly by following the flow. Although Li Xiaoyun could be considered a beauty too, Wu Hao still didnt have that kind of feeling being in love with her. Perhaps the sugar daddy matter was the culprit of all this!
Of course, to talk about his feelings was a different matter! He still had some but that was just the normal male hormone secretion.
No matter what, this girl was a beauty who took the initiative to offer herself to be a sugar baby. To say that Wu Hao wasnt feeling anything in his heart was naturally a lie. He wasnt a eunuch so how could he not have any reactions to a beauty!
But it was clear that he was just taking advantage of someones difficulties. When Wu Hao thought of this, he still couldnt make himself do it.
Plus with the fact that he didnt go to the city these past several days, he naturally couldnt do anything like dating or etc.
However, Li Xiaoyun would always send him a text message. The content was very simple; the usualmon greetings, goodnight etc.
Wu Hongguo and Zhang Hun were feeling strange when they heard that this was not his girlfriend. Backpackers? What backpackers?
Backpackers! Theyre a group of like-minded friends who are invited together to go on a wild adventure! Wu Hao replied.
Of course, Wu Hao himself actually didnt quite understand what these backpackers were all about. His intention to go to the mountains was true but he was nning to go alone.
Although there were quite a few forumworks and sites about these backpackers, Wu Hao didnt bother much with them. After all, to survive in the wild was not something which he needed to worry about.
Instead of saying he was exploring in the wild, it would be a more urate statement to say he was going to the wild for a vacation!
When Wu Hongguo and Zhang Huilian heard such words from Wu Hao, they naturally understood their sons intention to explore deep in the mountains. However, deep in the mountains, it was a very dangerous ce. Let''s not mention other ces. Even the mountain near their house, if they were to casually explore it, the risk of danger it posed was extremely high.
Although in the mountain, there were no ferocious beasts like tigers, there were still the presence of wild boars there. If you were without any weapons when you encountered arge wild boar, then the risk of danger would be quite high.
Why do you want to go the mountain out of nowhere?! That ce is not somewhere that you can casually go! Zhang Hunined.
Once Wu Hao heard that, he knew that if he didnte up with a reasonable excuse, he would certainly not be able to go.
Mom, rest assured! Im going with a group of people, Im not going alone. Plus, we will only explore the edge of the mountain and not deep inside the mountain.
Also, regarding my hunting ability, you must have seen them already. As long as Im careful and pay close attention, there wont be any problems.

Chapter 31: Going to the forest for a trip! [Fifth night]
Chapter 31: Going to the forest for a trip! [Fifth night]
......
These days in his home, Wu Hao would spend his free time wandering around in the inner regions of the mountain behind his home. And yeah, it wasnt anything to mention that these ces had nothing interesting.
However, here you could at least find some wild hares roaming around. In fact for the past ten years, the government had begun to take preventive measures to restore the forest which had been used for agriculture purposes.
The originalnd which used to be ntation sites had been rented back with new trees. With the reforestation process in effect, wild hares also began to flourish in this area.
In many rural areas of China, even where there wad no high altitude ces like mountain etc, as long as there were some areas with lots of trees and rarely had humans go to such ces, with just some clips and a cheap, almost every few days you would be able to collect your harvest.
Especially with a mist. It was used to capture those creatures which can fly like birds. As long as they could fly, when they get themselves tangled in the, it was almost an impossible feat to escape anymore.
Not to mention ordinary birds, even the eagles which arerger in size could be captured too.
Moreover, whenever you captured an eagle, it would alwayse in a package of two. Sometimes if you were lucky, you can even harvest three to four eagles at once.
This was because eagles loved to travel in a family (E/N: A group of eagles is called a convocation); two youngling and two adults.
Plus these kind of birds, like the eagle; they are very intelligent. When they see theirpanions being trapped, they would definitely want to rescue them which ends up getting themselves trapped in the too.
These mists are the nemesis of birds. The more the bird tries to struggle with their wings, the more they get tangled in the middle of the.
Thus, as long as there was a bird entering the, it could only helplessly wait for its death.
This piece ofnd which Wu Hao contracted could be considered the peripheral region of the Qinling mountains. The mountain behind his home, a lot of them still havent been explored yet so you could still find quite the number of wild animals there in their natural habitat.
However, besides birds and wild hares, the other animals like wild boars were quite rarely encountered. After all, there was no retard who dared to provoke these wild animals.
Not to mention a wild boar, even arge pig with 100kg in weight, if it has been provoked, no one would be able to subdue its rampage.
But since Wu Hao had his ability, he was able to provide his family extra meat with his harvest. Every other day, he would return back home with one or two boars. This harvest was definitely enough for the whole family to enjoy a joyous meal. (TLN: All these just to exin his hunting ability which he mentioned in previous chapter)
Although Wu Haos harvest wasnt much, in the eyes of the vigers, it was already an incredible feat.
Subsequently, after Wu Hao gave a very good exnation and assurances, his parents finally reluctantly agreed to his wish to backpack with others in the mountains.
After getting their approval, early morning the next day, Wu Hao brought two huge backpacks and drove to the town. As for the matter regarding the vis construction, Wu Hao just entrusted this job to his father to take care of.
As for the mountain, Wu Hongguo naturally would find people to take care of it. A few days ago, Wu Hao had saved five million for his parents.
As for the money which he obtained through selling the wild ginsengs, Wu Hao had already exined it to his parents. Anyway, his parents were able to ept these facts from him. At most, he would just underreport by just stating tens of thousand to his parents for them to be familiar with such amount.
Plus since the time when he won the jackpot, when heter told his parents about the sale of the wild ginsengs, although his parents were still surprised, they were now able to quickly ept it.
And of course, they were more than d to keep the five million which Wu Hao gave them. But, this money was kept by them for Wu Haos future marriage instead.
Of course, Wu Haopletely ignored the matter of marriage. Even if he really wanted to marry a wife, there was no need for his parents to save any money for him at all!
This time, Wu Hao didnt intend to park his car in the previous town. Instead, he drove his car out of the province and arrived at a small town which was just a short distance away from the Qinling mountains.
This little town was obviously notrge. There were only two small hotels in the town. As for Wu Hao travelling from his home to this town, he only spent about two hours to reach it.
Because his home was located within the borders of the Sichuan and Shaanxi province, if the distance was measured in straight line, with just ten kilometers you would reach either one of them.
However, in reality, the road waspletely different especially in the region in Sichuan. The roads there would constantly bend here and there like a maze. Even the ces that were just a few kilometers away, travelling by car on such roads will eventually increase the distance to dozens of kilometers.
Comparing Sichuan roads to the northern parts of China, the roads were like hell and heaven! In most parts of northern China especially the town areas, the roads there were all straight.
Especially in the big cities, if there was no need for you to turn onto other roads, even if you traveled dozens of kilometers, the road will lead you straight into the destination. In other words, there was no need for you to y around with the steering wheel at all!
However when you reached the areas within Sichuan and Chongqing, if you were a neer and dont use the navigation device to guide you, it would be very unlikely for you to reach your destination! Theplicated bridges and highway, no need to mention about outsiders, even the locals might sometimes get themselves lost if they werent careful.
Boss, I will park my car here. Most likely I wont be back for one or two months. Yea, I will have to trouble you here to take a good care of it! Only when the the sky was getting darker, Wu Hao checked out from his room while giving ten red to the hotels boss.
Dont worry, young one. You can rest assured that I will strictly take good care of your cars safety here. The hotels boss showed a bright smile looking at the tips she received.
The most expensive room in her hotel only costed 68 per night. As for the parking spaces, there were still a lot of empty lots. Even here, usually not many people would park here.
Therefore, the tips given by Wu Hao for parking his car here was definitely a huge amount of profit!
In fact, when Wu Hao reached this small town, he already attracted a lot of attention from the people who just passed by. After all, the external look of Wu Haos G500 looked so badass and mighty.
Forget about these few small towns, even in certain big cities, such domineering models were rarely seen on the road.
Of course, if it was in the coastal regions like Guangdong, things will be different. In such cities, you could easily see cars worth millions pass by the road every ten minutes.
After asking for the favor of the hotels boss to take care of his car, Wu Hao casually carried his two giant backpacks and an ordinary travel luggage, leaving the town.

Chapter 32: Hawk
Chapter 32: Hawk
......
These two big outdoor backpacks contained all the stuff which Wu Hao bought during his time in Macao. The luxury outdoor equipment, tent,puter, navigation system, camera, and also several backup batteries.
In addition to these things, Wu Hao also brought along a lot of cooking utensils.
These tools were all bought by him during the day in the town. There were cutlery, pressure cooker, wok, saucepan and etc. plus, Wu Hao even bought a small bag of 20kg rice.
This time, his visit to the mountain was entirely different thanst time. The previous trip was entirely just to find herbs so he only carried convenient food like biscuits etc. however, this time around, Wu Hao intended to enjoy himself and make some good explorations in this mountain trip. He wasnt in a rush anyway. Thus, he would go as far as he could with his preparations.
Hepletely considered this adventure as a pic in a primitive jungle. He even brought along a set of pots and pans.
These tools werent expensive. Thus, he didnt intend to bring them back after using them.
Now it was already nearing the years end, November. The weather had begun to get colder. In the mountains at night, the temperature naturally dropped even lower.
Wu Hao took those fewrge packages, left the town, and entered the mountain range. After ensuring that nobody was around, he just waved his hand and all the packages were floating alongside him. Then, he began to speed up into the depths of the forest.
Its not that bad here. Ill set up my camp here for several days then! After about two hourster, Wu Hao had already entered the depths of the mountains. When he was nearing the edge of a cliff, he stopped there. Here, it was surrounded by several mountains, plus there wasnt any touristy attraction spots nearby. The other reason he chose this spot was that normally, no beast woulde to such a cliff side.
Coupled with the fact that the stone tform there wasnt small, it was almost twenty square feet. To set up his tent, ce the tools, and etc., it shouldnt be a problem at all.
Of course the most important factor here was that here, he was able to receivework signal. Although the signal strength was poor, it could at least barely manage to stay connected.
Wu Hao didnt only subscribe a phone package with lots of data. He also prepared himself a wireless card for his outdoorptop. Last trip, he didnt bring hisptop but this time around, he made sure that he brought along every piece of equipment which he had purchased.
After all, this time, he was going to stay in the mountains for quite some time. ording to his original n, in addition to his little tour of the Qinling mountains, he also intended to take this opportunity to have a look at the Shenlongjia Nature Reserve.
Regarding Shenlongjia, there were several legends about it. Since long ago, Wu Hao had already yearned to visit such a ce. From the Qinling mountains to Shenlongjia, the distance wasnt that far. If you traveled in a straight line, they were about 200 km apart. For such a distance, Wu Hao only needed a few hours to fly there.
Bro, where are you now? What ce are you nning to go to?! The moment Wu Haos phone received signal, he saw the text message from his sister.
As regarding the matter of this trip, Wu Hao of course told it to his sister. When Wu Xiaoxiao heard her brother going for a trip in the wild, she was somehow joyful yet envious.
If not because of her need to attend school, she definitely would have pestered him to bring her along. However, Wu Hao as of now, couldnt bring anyone along into the mountains. After all, the way he entered the mountains was too abnormal!
Now, I have reached Changan. Tomorrow, Ill most likely enter the mountains. Wu Hao replied back.
After replying to his sister, Wu Hao also gave Li Xiaoyun some text message. However, Wu Hao left out the fact about himing here to y. Instead, he only told her that he was going to travel for some time.
After chatting for a few minutes, Wu Hao closed his Wechat. This was because the signal reception here was really really bad. One short message would need at least a dozen second to send.
Lets try theputer signal then! Wu Haos heart moved. He suddenly thought of the Dell outdoorptop which he bought.
At the time of purchase, the sales staff had told him that thisptop specialised in signal reception and was able to adapt in a variety of harsh environments. The battery lifespan was also durable andpared to ordinaryptops, they were like the difference between heaven and hell.
As for the durable battery, Wu Hao had already tested it himself. From the time he bought it, he didnt charge theptop at all although he did use it for quite some time. It wasnt until yesterday that he had to recharge theptops battery. In addition to theptops own power supply, he also specifically purchased an external backup battery.
Thisputer signal is definitely stronger than my phone! After booting up theptop, Wu Hao casually opened the web browser and began to search for information from the Inte.
Since several days ago when Wu Haos ability no longer grew, he had stopped practising day and night. After all, his cycle of practice could only help him reinstate his power at a faster rate. Even if he did nt breath by using the special technique, his powers ability could slowly recover by itself. Since Wu Hao couldnt improve his ability now, and now that he had extra time, Wu Hao used that time to search for something else.
Compared to ordinary people, his memory had at least doubled or even more. Even hisprehending and learning curve were also in a simr case. If he had such a monstrous learning ability previously, perhaps he would now be in a top-tier university.
However, now with a strong learning curve and the fact that he had a lot of free time, Wu Hao intended to learn something which grabbed his interest.
As for the thing which Wu Hao was most interested in now, was a hacking ability. But, it was just that Wu Hao was aplete newbie in this field. Although Wu Hao now had an enhanced learning ability, to enter the world of the hackermunity, he dared not to imagine how long it would take!
The following morning, Wu Hao stood next to the camp near the cliff and carefully looked around the environment.
From the current mountain where he stood to the tnd, there were a distance of more than a hundred meters. As for the opposite of where he was standing, there was a wall of mountains which looked as if they had been sliced with a knife, this mountain wall was even taller by hundreds of meters.
This canyon definitely isnt small! Wu Hao looked down at the endless canyon. Although the fog prevented him from seeing the bottom of the canyon and specific details, he still knew that this canyon definitely wasnt small.
And at that time, the sound of a hawk was echoing all over the canyon. Looking at the direction where the sound of the hawk came from, Wu Hao immediately saw a hawk flying to the other direction.
It seems that the cliff across from here should be the nest of the hawk. Im not sure whether there are any young hawks there. Wu Haos mind moved. Suddenly, a slight interest came into his heart.
Last time due to him rushing, he didnt have any time to search for this predator. Now since he had a lot of time to spend, he naturally wanted to have a better look at this unique predator. It would be even better if he managed to raise one.
From the visual he saw just now, Wu Hao thought that this hawk was definitely quiterge in size. Although he wasnt sure about the specific species of this hawk, from the look of its body, it shouldnt be an ordinary one. The possibility for a rare one was quite high.
However, Wu Hao didnt immediately fly to search for the nest. Instead, he flew to the rear of the mountain. He decided to hunt for two wild animals first before making any moves.
One was for him to fill his belly while the other one was of course for him to use as bait.
......
Chapter 33: Two young birds
Chapter 33: Two young birds
......
Reaching the back of the mountains, Wu Hao didnt spend much time to stumble across two hares weighing a full ten catties each.
As for these wild little hares, with Wu Haos ability, he could naturally control them with ease, making them unable to move. He didnt need any weapons to kill them.
One hare that weighed ten catties was already sufficient tost a whole day. Thus, it wasnt necessary for him to hunt for more prey. Even if he did so, it would just end up being a waste.
After capturing two fat meaty hares, soon Wu Hao reached a small stream. One of them was washed and prepared by Wu Hao and the remaining hare was just killed without any preparation.
After he finished dealing with the hares, Wu Hao then flew back to the tform at the cliff. In order to avoid dealing with the early morning fog, since yesterday evening, Wu Hao had already prepared arge pile of firewood which was sufficient enough tost for a few meals.
En! It has been quite a while since Ive eaten roasted meat. This rabbit, Im going to roast it then! When he was at home, the hares he hunted were all used to make meat stew. Thus, this time he wanted to change his food preparation.
To start a fire was very simple for Wu Hao. He didnt even have to use his own hands to do so. By just using his telekinesis, one pile of firewood beside him began to light up in mes.
A lighter in the bag flew towards the firewood at a high speed. After igniting the leaves and firewood, the little fire gradually began to grow bigger.
After sessfully starting the fire, various spices were spread all over the hare. Like before, without his hands, the whole body of the hare fully covered with spices automatically flew on top of the fire and it slowly rotated while being roasted.
This was simply too convenient, even much easier than a roasting machine. Now, he had trained to the stage where he could easily use his telekinesis to control many items at once. While watching the fire, he rotated the hare without any sweat. This job was just a piece of cake.
Time quickly passed by. The golden hare which had been kept roasting had finally been sessfully cooked. However this hare, even after skin and bone removal, still had around four to five catties of meat remaining. Wu Hao definitely couldnt not finish all of that at once.
Thus, he took out a knife and divided it into half to keep it inside a pressure cooker. This would be a readied meal for him to eat at noon.
Alright, now its time to go the other side and search for the eagle nest! After satisfying his appetite, he carried along the other hare and flew to the opposite side of the mountain.
His current telekic ability allowed him to control up to 1000kg. Even if he was really unable and had to encounter attacks from such arge bird, he would still be able to handle it. In fact, bird predator like eagles actually werent that powerful strength-wise. Instead, their advantage was their sharp ws and hard strong beak.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the opposite side, arge bird noticed him and stared at him. It then began to scream as a sign of warning to Wu Hao of a potential confrontation.
This eagles nest is really close by! Watching this scene, Wu Haos mind became more determined now.
Facing the about toe attack from the eagle, he was not panicked at all. When the opposition was approaching him, his telekinesis immediately took control of the birds body; hovering it in the air for a fewps.
Thisrge bird that was over two meters in size, facing such sudden attack on itself, was definitely startled. However, it didnt give up at all. After being forcefully hovered around for a fewps in the air, it tried hard using its wing to stabilize its posture and began its counterattack again.
Wow, such strong determination! Watching this bird starting to attack him again, Wu Hao knew that one lesson was not enough for this foe to quit.
Only by doing this a few more times would this foe start to be afraid, begin to quit, and stop attacking again.
Therefore, Wu Hao immediately repeated his attack. Again, he used his ability to take control of its body and shuttle it in the sky for a fewps. After experiencing another lesson from Wu Hao, this eagle obviously began to feel some fear. Only after it stabilized its body, it just flew around Wu Hao and didnt attack him.
Hehe! Little guy, I wont do anything to do; I only want to take some photos of you! Wu Hao shook his head whileughing. He no longer bothered about this eagle anymore.
And at this time, Wu Hao was finally able to find the eagles nest at this huge mountain wall.
This was a cave located about fifty meters from the hilltop of a cliff. This cave was not huge, only about three meters in diameter. In the furthest reaches of the cave, there was arge messy pile of stones.
Outside the pile of stones was arge eagle nest. In the nest, there were two young eagles; onerge, one small. This small pitiable bird was constantly being harassed by the bigger one.
There really are two young eagles! However, from the current situation, if this continued, this small bird most likely wont be able to survive. Watching the scene in the nest, Wu Hao suddenly recalled a documentary about this case.
In nature, when the female eagle hatched more than one egg, usually only one would survive.
This was because during feeding session, a vast majority of the food would be obtained by therge one. Since the other young eagles couldnt eat much, the gap between them would only grow bigger and bigger.
Over time, the weakling will be pecked by the strong one until death or was forced off the cliff.
Look at this birds size and color, it should be a golden eagle. Since this little guy will have an inevitable fate if it continues staying here, why dont I just adopt it myself! This rabbit will be your adoption fee then! Wu Hao looked at the bird outside, hovering around the cave.
Although he had no experience at all in raising an eagle, he could still slowly learn it! As for eagles, if you start taking care of them when theyre young, when they grows up they would to listen to themands from its master.
However, it is still quite rare to encounter anyone who would keep thisrge predator, like a golden eagle, as pet.
After looking at these young eagles, Wu Hao started to feel curious and inspected the messy heap of stones.
Yi! Inside, there should still be something. Using his spiritual perception for a careful investigation, he began to fly in that direction.
The length in this cave in total was less than ten meters. The deeper the cave, the smaller its diameter. However, this was not the most important thing. The main point was here, he stumbled upon a ck stone which was about half the size of a fist.
And this ck stone gave him a very special feeling. As for what was so special about it, Wu Hao couldnt exin. In short, this stone was not a typical stone.
Since most of the space was upied and blocked by stones, Wu Hao could only use his telekinesis to bring out the ck stone from the innermost region.
Seems like I have to settle the matter outside too. Thinking of this, Wu Hao instantly flew back to the outer region of the cave. Holding the stone, it didnt only give him a very special feeling but also in his heart, there was this strong desire to get stronger.
Chapter 34: An astonishing stone
Chapter 34: An astonishing stone
* Correction for thest paragraph of previous chapter (My bad, I was drunk while tranting.)
Seems that I have to clean up these pile of stones outside first. Thinking of this, Wu Hao didnt dy any longer and started working. It was because this little stone made him feel something special; plus within his heart there was an intense urge.
......
The stones umted in the innermost region of the cave werentrge. Thergest one only weighed hundreds of kilograms. All these stones were within the range Wu Haos telekinesis could affect.
Because this area wasnt a habitation for human, even if the stones were thrown from the nearly thousand meter high cliff, it wouldnt cause any harm at all.
As a result, the stone piles within the cave, one by one the stones were thrown out of the cliff.
Within a period of a few minutes, the stone piles within the cave were all cleared up by Wu Hao with his telekinesis.
However, such actions actually consumed one third of Wu Haos energy. Although the cave itself wasnt that deep norrge, besides the little gap at the upper part, the other part was basically blocked by stones.
Therefore, the amount of work needed for such actions was still a lot. If it were ordinary people working, perhaps it would require then several days to aplish the task.
After clearing the stones from the innermost region, the little ck stone which was previously blocked by the stones flew straight towards Wu Hao.
However, the moment this ck stone came into contact with his skin, Wu Haos face immediately changed!
FML! What is this toy?! Feeling that the ck stone within his hand was sticking to his skin tightly as if his hand was absorbing it, at the same time, there were waves of intense pain which definitely caught Wu Hao off guard.
This ck stones strange and formidable power exceeded Wu Haos own estimations. As Wu Hao was having this thought, in a sh, his consciousness was gone as his brain couldnt ept the energy brought by the strange stone, causing him to fall down, lying on the cave ground.
And the ck stone which tightly stuck itself onto Wu Haos hand began to undergo a drastic change. Originally, this stone which was ck like carbon, gradually became red enough to be seen with the naked eye. At the same time, it also slowly began to melt.
However, Wu Hao whose consciousness couldnt withstand the abrupt energy flowing from the stone, had fainted. Of course he wouldnt know the scene that was happening right now.
Even now, Wu Haos body started to gradually turn red. Boundless energy which was like a flood began to rush forward from the melting stone within his hand, travelling along the cells of Wu Haos body all the way up to his brain non stop.
And this process hadsted for a full duration of half an hour and yet, there was still no sign of stopping. However, the piece of stone which now looked like molten iron had melted quite a bit.
From the rate of the melting, topletely melt such a strange stone, it would probably take another few hours to do so.
At this time, the golden eagle who kept circling outside the cave, noticed Wu Hao who was motionless, itnded outside the cave and kept staring in the direction of Wu Hao.
A few minutester, seeing Wu Hao not show any signs of movement, its courage also started to build up. It immediately grabbed the hare which Wu Hao left at the side and and fed it to the two young eagles in the nest.
However, because of the size difference between these two young eagles, the smaller one couldnt give into fight at all to its bigger sized brother. Finally, only after the bigger one finished its meal, only then did it have the opportunity to eat the hare.
It was just that at this time, the whole hare no longer had much meat. Thus, it could only eat a few bits of meat and had to live with it. It was helpless and began to chirp non stop.
As for the golden eagle, after it finished feeding the young eagles, it started to clean up the remains of the hare and then flew off the mountain wall. From the beginning to the end, it didnt bother at all with Wu Hao. Although he was now on the ground motionless, his body was brimming in red light which make it fear and dared to not approach him mindlessly.
However, this golden eagle didnt leave but went to the nearby mountain wall to scout and patrol.
For Golden eagles, when raising their kids, usually one of them would stay at the nest while the other one would go hunting. Then, they would alternate in between turns.
While hunting, they would first devour the captured prey, leaving only a small part of it to feed the kids.
This was because an adult golden eagle couldnt carry heavy prey while flying. Unless it was small prey like a hare, they could only eat a huge part of the captured prey before bringing the remains back to theirir.
Just like that, a peaceful two hours passed by. Within one of Wu Haos hand, the mysterious stone shrank down to about the size of two fingers.
At this moment, at a distance away, another adult golden eagle carrying an iplete goat flew back to the nest. With a scream, it was as ifmunicating with the other golden eagle which had left the nest just now. Then, it stared at Wu Hao who was in the innermost part of the cave.
However, sensing a biological feeling of danger, it also didnt dare to confront Wu Hao and began feeding the two young eagles.
Of course, instead of saying feeding two young eagles, it would be more urate to say that it was feeding just one.
For the smaller young eagle, besides eating two little bits, the meat was monopolised by its bigger brother.
Like what was mentioned before, the adult golden eagle didnt care much about this. After all, this was the naturalw of survival. With their intelligence, they couldnt manage to fairly divide the spoils amongst the two young eagles.
After all, even though they were the top predators in the sky, of course they wouldnt be able to hunt enough food every day. Thus, under normal conditions, usually if a golden eagle hatched more than one, only one young eagle would survive until the very end.
Time flew by. After around more than one hour, the stone within Wu Haos handpletely disappeared. At this moment, Wu Haos entire body also gradually stopped undergoing changes. Like before, the body systems and blood flow were restored back to homeostatis.
After Wu Haos whole body restored back to normal, Wu Haos consciousness also came back. Such a magical feeling! Regaining his consciousness, he opened his eyes slowly and at that time, he felt all sorts of weird changes that urred in his body.
At the same time, the whole situation from before, started to y like a film within his mind.
What exactly was this strange stone? It could actually make my telekinesis and spiritual perception improve at such a monstrous rate. Wu Hao stood up and eximed in surprise.
From the scene in his mind, he knew everything which had urred in his body before and from the surroundings. This also made him understand the changes that were in his body. However, in regards to the disappeared ck stone, he still couldnt identify the identity of the stone.
In summary, with the changes in Wu Hao currently, his abilities and physical fitness levels had been enhanced by ten timespared to before the stone.
Besides a wider range and improved strength of telekinesis, there was no other change.
However, whenparing his spiritual perception the before the stone, it had became strange. Wu Haos spiritual perception not only increased in its coverage area, he could also detect all sort of changes urring within the organisms surrounding him.
For example, he could clearly sense how the organs within his body worked and how the blood moved within the vessels. Besides that, he could also detect the harmful substances within his body.
Not only being able to perceive, he could also control the cells within his body to start working in eliminating the unwanted materials within his body; in essence clearing them out. Also, his metabolism became stronger by several timespared to before.
Chapter 35: Becoming more powerful
Chapter 35: Bing more powerful
......
In addition to perceiving the condition within his own body, the surrounding nts, animals, and how their bodies functioned to absorb nutrients and grow, he could see it clearly.
This ability was much better than the most advanced X-ray invented by humankind. Besides animals and nts, even with materials like stones and etc, he could even see their internal structure.
nts and animals aside, he was even able to sense all the maic fields around him, signals and etc which were things not able to be seen by the naked human eyes. (E/N: Looks like we have another Lucy on our hands.)
In todays Earth, besides those naturally formed maic fields, this world was filled with countless wireless signals too. For example, mobile phone signals, satellite signals, and others.
If these signals were all drawn out and mankind was allowed to see them, if you go to any big city, the first thing you would see was definitely not humans but various kinds of signal from the dense maic fields.
Isnt my current spiritual perception the same as the protagonist from the film with her strange ability?! After witnessing this world from a different point of view, he felt that the current situation he was like deja vu.
In the story of the film, after the protagonist was able to unlock her brains domain to a certain degree, she was able to sense and control the maic fields and signals.
Being able to find the signal of information which you want from within the sea of information, this would allow you to control the end terminal of devices from a specific signal. With electronic equipment, within a certain range of the equipment, one would also be able to know about the surroundings as well.
This kind of ability in this world full of electronic appliances and gadgets used by themunity, such an ability was never to be described as nothing besides extremely powerful.
This was because as long as the ce had signal, you would be able to use those signals, you could link yourself to the end terminal of the signals like mobile phones, televisions, or even other things; you would have the power to control their functions.
If the weapons were controlled electronically, then it will be the same as they could still be controlled by the signals. Such an ability against electronically equipped weapons, it was a total nightmare!
The reason was that in this society and within such an era, whether it was a car, a ship, or an airne, which one didnt have any electronic equipment? Excluding the equipment from the olden days which used mechanical power and systems with no electronic usage at all, thetest weapons were all used the electronic technology of which relied on their own satellite control system.
This......dont tell me that I have such an overpowered ability? In order for Wu Hao to test his new ability, his heart was moved and he tested it on the signaling into the mobile phone of his as experiment. Apparently, he could really rely on the signal waves entering into his own mobile phones antenna and control it to on or off.
Wu Haos heart was beating fast. He suddenly had this idea to track the end terminal of receiving appliances of the weak signals nearby. The signal which he chose was most likely from the nearby satellite base receiver.
With this trial, he managed to know the limits of his spiritual perception. This was because although he was able to use this signal and track all the way to the receiver signal, somehow the process was very demanding and strenuous. Plus, the current him still wasnt able to control the equipment from long ranges. At most, he could use this signal to send some information but he definitely couldnt gain ess to control such long distance terminals.
Seems like I could only use the signals to control the end terminal of the receiver within the range of 1000 meters. However, this ability is still freaking strong! Very soon, Wu Hao was able to better understand his new spiritual perceptions usage and its limit.
Plus, besides his telekinesis and spiritual perception being enhanced, there was still an additional upgrade. He was now able to recall every scene which he had seen through his eyes ever since birth. Each and every scene clearly appeared within his brain.
Now I should have obtained an eidetic memory! Wu Hao couldnt stop himself from bing emotional.
This was because when he recalled his memories, it wasnt only his past experiences but also all the hardship endured by his parents since he was young.
Also, he was able to learn a secret of his family which was recalled from his childhood memory. That secret was that his own sister, Xiaoxiao was not the real daughter given birth to by his parents. Instead, it was when he was still a little kid, his own parents adopted her.
At that time, he was too young to remember and understand such things. With his immature brain, of course he wouldnt be able to understand the adults way of thinking. However, now being able to recall every memory from even the deepest regions of his brain, it was as if he was watching a very long documentary film about his life of 20 years. Naturally, with the memory from the childhood which he didnt understand at that time, the current him definitely understood everything.
However, after he learned such an event which actually couldnt be considered a secret, he had no intentions to inform that his sister nor parents. Instead, doing so would only make his sister feel awkward and wouldnt benefit his family at all. Moreover, although she was not his true sister, he would still treat her like usual and definitely wouldnt be changing any attitudes towards her.
After recalling all of the past experiences, Wu Hao no longer thought much about it. He turned his head and looked at the two young eagles while he showed a smile, Since you have taken my hare, then I will help you take care of this little cutie and raise it well!
Directly using his telekinesis, he controlled the small young eagles body and together they left the cave. In just a single breath, both of them safely arrived at the other side of the mountain where the tform was located.
The moment when Wu Hao left with the smaller young eagle, the adult guardian golden eagle naturally noticed his actions. Besides crying a few times, it didnt go to stop him. This was because it knew that such actions would be futile.
However, when Wu Hao left the cave, the golden eagle immediately flew back to the side of the nest. Besides chirping a few times, it didnt do anything. This was because in the nest, there was still the bigger and stronger young eagle.
Well, I should make you a nest! Inspecting the surrounding of the tform, Wu Hao picked a nice spot.
He intended to build a nest in the innermost region of the nearby cliff. Also, Wu Hao was proud of himself for finding this tform as a base for his camp. This was indeed a very good location.
Besides animals like birds and snakes, other animals simply wouldnte near such a ce. Furthermore, a few hundred meters away, there was arge pond too. Since this ce was a remote location, usually there wouldnt be any humansing to such an area. Under careful nning and construction, this spot was definitely a good one for a basecamp.
There was also one very important factor which was that this spot was capable of receivingwork signal. Such a factor alone was already a sufficient reason to make this spot a long-term stronghold.
......
Chapter 36: Building a Wooden House
Chapter 36: Building a Wooden House
......
However, at present, the first thing which Wu Hao wanted to do was to get this little bird a nest first.
With Wu Haos current ability, building a nest was just as simple as ABC. He didnt have to leave his current spot nor use his own hands. With just his spiritual perception, he would be able to detect the branches and leaves in the surrounding area. Using his telekinesis, he would then control them to move all the way until they were in front of him and automatically, a nest would appear before him in no time.
As for the current spiritual perception of Wu Hao, besides able to scan a certain range in circumference, investigating the situation in the surrounding environment; it could also be used like before, acting as his third eye to search for the things that he wanted.
After all, whenever his spiritual perception was activated, what appeared in front of his sight would be endless, a variety of signal waves and also X-ray versions of animals and nts. If he used this for a very long time, it would be very likely for him to suffer from a mental illness!
Therefore, Wu Hao could now could control his spiritual perception very well. Not only could he scan the whole circumference, he could also aim at a specified target.
Just like that, in a period of less than ten seconds, a simple nest waspleted by the cliff.
Wu Hao then used his telekinesis to put the baby eagle into the nest. However, this little bird kept chirping non-stop. Seeing this, Wu Hao seemed to understand what it was trying to say.
It should be hungry right now, I guess! Wu Hao smiled and leaped forward to fly into the sky, finding some food for it to eat.
The current ability of Wu Hao had increased by a total of ten times. From 1000 kg, it had been enhanced up to 10,000 kg which also meant a force of 10 tons.
Such force is of course extremely powerful; even flying a car would be as easy as ying with a toy for him. Also, his flying speed had also been boasted as a result of his increased strength.
Last time, his top speed was about 200 km/h and his stamina couldntst that long. However, now it was totally not the same anymore. ording to Wu Haos estimation in his heart, his current top speed should reach at least 1000 km/h. Such a speed wasparable to a normalmercial airline, it would be almost close and they could match each other.
Plus, if he maintained such speed in flight, Wu Hao couldst for about two hours without any problem. In other words, he could travel within his mothend from the north to the south within a few hours.
Even going overseas would be an easy matter for him. Of course, if he wanted to visit the United States, it would still be a bit troublesome. After all, he could not fly over the whole Pacific Ocean at once. Even if he wanted to do so, he would have to fly along the coast.
Just a few minutester, Wu Hao reached somewhere a few kilometers away and hunted a hare and pheasant. Then, he returned back to his base.
At a quick speed, he removed all the inner organs of the hare and with a sharp knife, he used his telekinesis to control it, removing all the meat cleanly from the bone.
En! Feeding this little one, it would be better if I personally do so. Only then would it recognize me. Thinking of this, Wu Hao immediately gave up the idea of using telekinesis to feed it. From a bag nearby, he took out a pair of chopstick to pick up the hare meat which is still reeked of fresh blood to feed the little young eagle.
To feed this wild animal, he naturally could not clean the meat like he did for himself. After removing the meat, he could directly feed it to the baby eagle. After all, the adult eagle also directly fed the prey it caught without any preparations.
Anyway, Wu Hao didnt directly use his own hand while handling this hare. Using his telekinesis, he controlled the knife to remove the meat from the bones. All the internal organs were removed too. He didnt have any ns to feed this little one inner organs. At most, he would only leave out the heart and the liver for it.
Seems that this little one is hungry then. It seems to have never eaten its fill before! Watching this little young eagle eat the meat in such violent and energetic manner, Wu Hao somehow found this scene funny andughed.
However, he didnt n to feed it at once until it was full. This was because for this bird which had never eaten until it was full, if he was to feed it too much at once, it would instead do more harm than good.
This principle is the same for humans. If a man hadnt eaten for one whole day, at first, he should eat a small quantity. If he overate, perhaps he would burst from food. (T/N: Failed logic from author?) (E/N: The author obviously has never had all you can eat korean bbq as a poor college student.)
After he finished feeding this cute chick, Wu Hao looked around the surrounding environment of the tform. Soon, an idea came across his brain.
Well, from how this tform looks, building a small wooden house is definitely a good idea. After I finish building it, the next time Ie back here, I no longer need to bring a lot of stuff. After he had this epiphany, Wu Hao immediately acted upon it. In fact, this timeing deep into the mountains, he had decided to build a stronghold in the wild.
Thus, this time in addition to buying tableware, he also specifically bought himself a few saws, an axe, and a wood chopper. Even though he had a military knife, using it to chop a tree would be too vexatious. Although he had his telekinesis as an added bonus, chopping down the tree definitely wouldnt be a problem. However, after such a tedious usage of this military knife, its lifespan would be greatly reduced.
Now, with an axe and a wood chopper, it would be a different scenario here. Whether he wanted a wooden nk or wooden beam, he could definitely use these two tools to make them.
After all, all this work didnt require him to do it all manually. With his telekic ability, he would be able to master the perfect bnce of various tools. Since his ability was now ten times stronger, starting this job off was obviously quicker.
Just like that, Wu Hao brought along all of his tools and went to a forest within one of the mountains. There, he found arge tree with a diameter of one meter.
Cutting down this tree, it could directly be made into about one meter long wooden nks. This length of wooden nks were very suitable to be used for the roof and sidewalls.
ording to Wu Haos n, he wanted to build a wooden house about 10 square meters. Cutting about three of such trees should be sufficient enough to build the wall, roof, and floor.
After gathering all the needed wooden nks, he just needed to find some smaller trees to use them as support beams.
Wu Hao who already had a n within his heart, in order to not affect the nearby trees, he was ready to cut the trees from the top.
First, Wu Hao controlled the axe and the wood chopper to remove all the branches of the tree. Then, he used the wood chopper to cut ording to specific lengths from the top.
After cutting down three trees at the same time, Wu Hao used this telekinesis to control three saws and simultaneously split the tree into wood nks. This process was without a doubt, less time-consuming.

Chapter 37: Future uprising of hacking
......
However, Wu Hao didnt decide to build this wooden house in a day. Even if he had the idea to do so, it was definitely an impossible task.
This wooden house or cliff-house of his, he nned to build it suspended on top of the cliff. He needed to cut and dig a deep groove on the cliff for the stability of the house. And of now, he didnt have any tools to do such a job like cutting the rocks and etc.. He could only wait until the sky grew dark before paying a visit to the nearby town to buy the tools.
Moreover, besides the tools for cutting rock, he also had to buy a gasoline torch for surface carbonization of the wooden nk and piles.
Otherwise, these wooden nks and piles wontst for long under the direct sun and rain. Since Wu Hao had to spend so much energy on building this wooden house, he naturally wont wish for it to decay that quickly.
Also, in order to maintain the original feeling of wooden house, he decided to go with no metal and modern paint. The whole wooden houses structure was built by fixing eachponent together like a lego. This type of construction was adapted from the ancient housing technology.
However, this wooden house of Wu Hao was just a small one. Thus, it didnt have thatplex structure of ancient buildings.
Just like that, a day had passed. Earlier on, besides hunting for some food for the young eagle, all the remaining time was spent on cutting wood.
These wooden nks which Wu Hao had obtained, they were all thick. Each wooden nk had a thickness of around 5cm. Because of his telekic aid in the process, there werent many errors in cutting the wood.
As for the wooden nks which would be used as the floor base, their thickness was naturally higher. Although these would increase the overall weight of the house, as long as the base was stable with a deep impale on the mountain wall, there shouldnt be much of a problem.
When the day started to turn dark, Wu Hao temporarily halted the work he was doing. Considering that going into a small town to buy stuff might not be convenient, Wu Hao flew directly towards Changan City which was more than 100km from here.
If he was just buying the tools for cutting the stone and etc., he should be able to get those with ease. But, a gasoline torch might be a bit difficult to find in such a small town.
Anyway, with the current flying speed of Wu Hao, going to Changan City with a distance of more than 100km wouldn''t consume much of his time. Besides that, even the nearest town from here would need at least tens of kilometers too.
Because it was now night, Wu Hao didnt have to worry much flying in the sky. With his fastest speed, he directly headed towards an unpopted ce within the outskirts of Changan City.
Wu Haos luck was good that day. With just a few minutes of walking, he managed to stop a passing taxi which then drove him to the urban areas.
Along the way, Wu Hao began to search for nearby hardware stores. About 20 minutester, Wu Hao finally managed to find his target.
Half an hourter, Wu Hao bought all the items on his checklist. Besides the cutting tools for the rock and the gasoline torch which was to be used for wood carbonization, he also bought a few bottles of tung oil and a whole set of woodworking tools.
Although he had finished cutting wood during the day, the surface of the wooden nks and piles were still rough. Since he was here to buy tools, he might as well get himself a set of woodworking tools too. With them, the newly cut nks and piles will definitely have a better finish.
After he finished his shopping, Wu Hao didnt spend any longer in the city. Through the connection of the shop owner, and very quickly at that, he got himself a car to deliver those tools to the outskirt of the city.
When the car reached the road at the citys outskirts, Wu Hao immediately asked the driver to stop. After paying the fees, he directly carried all the items he bought into the nearby forest. After confirming that nobody was around, Wu Hao began his journey back to his base, flying up in the sky.
Due to low visibility at night and additional things that needed to be carried along, Wu Haos flying speed was quite fast but his altitude wasnt that high though.
If he is to fly at a high altitude while he was carrying a lot of items, he was afraid that he would be killed by the countrys lighting. As long as he flew at a low altitude and within the range of mountains, even the worlds most advanced radar wouldnt be able to detect Wu Hao.
The only possibility would be Wu Hao following an early warning aircraft system. With the radar waves directly projected from the top to the bottom, only then would Wu Haos presence be detected.
But for such a possibility to happen was extremely low. This early warning aircraft system in the country could be counted with one hand. How could they randomly fly here without any reasons!
Back at the camp base, Wu Hao ced all of the tools at the side of the tform. Then, he began starting the fire for his barbeque cooker.
As a result of starting a campfire on the tform at night, this scene can be seen even from a distance away. However, since within a radius of a dozen kilometers away there were no other animals except birds, Wu Hao wasnt afraid of being discovered.
This trip to Changan, in addition to the tool purchase, he also bought himself a box of canned beers. Drinking beer while enjoying delicious roasted pheasant meat, such a feeling was naturally very wonderful.
En, such a life isnt bad! But, when my wooden house ispleted, it will be even more perfect. That time, I no longer have to stay in this tent. Feeling satisfied, Wu Hao smiled.
After he finished eating and drinking, Wu Hao opened hisptop to continue learning about hacking.
However, the moment when Wu Hao tried connecting to thework with hisptop, he suddenly felt the changes within theptop. It was not because of it but Wu Hao detected a very strong receiving signal.
This should be the direct connection with the signal from amunication satellite. If not, how would it be possible to have such a strong signal strength. Outside of Earth, in outer space, in addition to phone connections and some signal base stations, other devices wouldnt be able to directly connect to the satellites.
However, because thisptop of his was a military-level gadget, it of course had the ability to directly receive signal from the satellites. As for the reason why there was no connection, that was mainly because of an absence of open ess.
Using his spiritual perception to detect the changes within theptop, Wu Haos heart moved. He didnt do anything but was able to forcibly connect the satellite signal with theptop.
Then, his fingers quickly tapped on top of the keyboard for a moment and casually obtained a permanent ess. This should be the so-called hacking technology! Wu Haos mouth raised up,ughing slightly as a result.
This was because he found that it was quite easy to hack other gadgets and obtain the highest authority.
This ability, besides understanding all sorts of maic fields and signals with his spiritual perception, there was also knowledge regardingputers which he had nevere across before. And just now, he took the opportunity to learn about the knowledge through the Inte.
It was just like a domino effect, as long as he managed to open the main door, the rest like knowledge and information, he could easily understand in little to no time.
En. Since I can easily gain the ess permission of the satellite, if I publish something in the Inte, no one would be able to know that Im the one who released it right? Thinking of this, Wu Hao became more excited.
Because if this was the case, he would be able to freely upload all the videos and pictures of rare wild species without having to worry about his identity being leaked!

Chapter 38: Disappearance of South China tiger
Chapter 38: Disappearance of South China tiger
......
It is a need to mention that this method was really something that Wu Hao wished to do so since a long time ago. This was because as someone who took photos of rare animals, once the photos were released to themunity, they would definitely bring him lots of hassle. This was without a doubt, one of the most troublesome matters.
For example, before this, the photos and videos of the South China tiger which he took, at that time, he did have the impulse to share these with others.
However, what he photographed to the current generation, they were all so rare that once released, a great sensation would be brought to themunity.
Thus, the moment when others knew that he was the one who released the pictures and videos, they would ask him how he managed to take them in such vast mountains, how should he exin it then?
But now, it was different. With the super hacking technology he had, he could guarantee that he wouldnt leave a trace when he posted all of the videos and pictures on the Inte which then others wont be able to investigate his presence.
To be able to be such a master in hacking in such a short period of time, it was all thanks to his new super memory and fast learning. Also, the most important factor was none other than the upgraded version of his spiritual perception.
Although with him alone, controlling the signal terminal from a distance away would be limited, but if it is through other mediums, there wont be such restrictions in distance.
In other words, when Wu Hao was using hisptop just now, through his spiritual perception, he managed to enter into the data resource of theputer and then to the other signal terminal through the satellite signal.
This ability had the same concept as actual hacking. But the only difference was that it was not just as simple as manipting theputer. Instead, it was a direct way with the data energy entering into the opposing terminals.
This way operated more like a legendary artificial intelligence. Since artificial intelligence existed by itself in the vastwork, naturally it would be able to enter whatever it wanted to without much difficulty.
Although Wu Haos ability was still far whenpared to an actual artificial intelligence, to release something in thework and not be detected, it was just a simple matter.
In fact, Wu Hao wasnt exactly interested in invading others. As long as his presence in thework wasnt detected, that should be more than sufficient.
Thinking of this, Wu Hao began to take action. Fist, he registered a new ount of Tieba. As for the real name identification and etc., Wu Hao naturally was able to bypass it. (Tieba: Chinas reddit)
After registering the new ount, Wu Hao immediately entered into the Adventure thread. As far as he knew, uploading the rare pictures which he took in the wild would be best suited by uploading it on this thread!
Although currently there were only about several thousand followers on the thread with only a number of posts, this shouldnt pose any problems for him.
This was because he believed that as long as he uploaded the pictures with some simple captions, within a short period of time, the pictures would definitely go viral in the Intemunity. As long as they managed to get the attention of the media, there was no need for any worries for them not spreading around.
ID of the poster: Fighting tiger everyday, Post name: Disappearance of South China tiger.
After making sure the title of the post was named well, Wu Hao went to the pictures which he had saved in theptop. The first photo which he chose to upload was the one when a South China tiger was posing fiercely in front of the camera apanied with a simple line of introduction.
Then, following them was a few images from a sideway direction and the huge w attacks. Same like before, each and every photo was added with some descriptions. The post had a total of nine pictures.
Each picture was captured in high-definition. Afterall, Wu Haos camera cost him several tens of thousands of dors. Naturally, the quality of the pictures taken wouldnt be bad.
After he finished editing the post, Wu Hao then clicked upload. As for the rest, he didnt really care about them at all.
After he finished uploading them into Tieba, Wu Hao then visited thergest video website in the country, Youdao Video. Of course the reason Wu Hao was here was to upload the video of the South China tiger that he took.
And this video only had the duration of a few minutes. Since Wu Hao took this video by controlling the camera with his telekinesis, the viewing angle was aerial. All the activities of the South China tiger, jumping and running around the jungle were all recorded down.
In fact, when the adult South China tiger noticed the presence of Wu Hao, it of course started to threaten him with its sharp ws. After repeated attacks with no result, it only roared a few times before it ran away into the deep jungle.
And this video clip recorded the whole process too. If the photos he uploaded only recorded the moment of the tiger, then this high definition video without doubt did its job in recording the whole figure of the South China tiger.
Applying an ount for Youdou Video was an easy task for Wu Hao. Even his username was the same as the one he used in Tieba, Fighting Tiger Everyday.
Due to the need to be reviewed by Youdou Video, after uploading the video, Wu Hao didnt care whatever happened afterwards.
However, after Wu Hao finished uploaded the video not long ago, at the adventure forum, a few users already dropped somements.
F*ck! This is really a real tiger! High-definition some more, These pictures, which master snapped them!
Wild South China tiger? Didnt the government already dere that such species was already extinct?
What shit the experts imed, you really believe them! What people posted are all high definition pictures. Such environment, such ferocity, without doubt, this is definitely from the wild. Those tigers locked at the zoo are nothing at allpared to this. The experts didnt exin.....
Such big news, I must share it!
Not long after this post was online, many users started toment on the page and discuss about it. Soon, Tieba had pinned the page as the top page on the site.
This was because these photos on Tieba were absolutely real. Not only were they all in high definition, even every direction of the tigers were snapped too.
Coupled with the surrounding background environment, it certainly wasnt something a zoo could emte, besides this being a real South China tiger, there were really no other possibilities.
After all, that time during 08, the tiger week event, with only such fake boring photos, all kind of rumors and stories which even news media covered too spread nationwide.
Actually, at that time, a lot of Inte users didnt know the presence of such things known as photoshop. Thus, many of them were fooled.
With the photo that time and if it was released now, as long as the person used the Inte, they would immediately realize that the photo was a product of photoshop. This was because the traces of the photo being edited by photoshop were too obvious.
Now, the photos which Wu Hao uploaded were all high definition with a total of nine images taken from different angle and direction. Who would still dare to say that there was a possibility of them being fake?
This was something absolutely impossible to fake! Therefore, these photos will definitely be hot. Perhaps without even taking a long time, someone would contact investigators to get the identity of the one who uploaded the pictures.
Too bad with Wu Haos current ability, these people simply wouldnt be able to find any trace of him.

Chapter 39: Opening the Mountain Wall
Chapter 39: Opening the Mountain Wall
......
The next day, when the sky hadnt turned bright yet, Wu Hao went a few kilometers away to catch and bring back a huge prey.
This was a giant wild boar weighing over 100 catties. If it was in the past, Wu Hao wouldnt dare to make any moves towards such a gigantic animal.
But now, not only did he have to satisfy his own belly but also he had to feed the carnivorous little golden eagle. Dont underestimate its small stature. With such a small body, everyday it needed quite a lot of meat to fill its hunger.
So a wild boar weighing more than 100 catties was sufficient to consume andst for a day. After all, the whole boar didnt have much meat left over after excluding all of the bones. Moreover, even if they couldnt finish off the boar, Wu Hao could always share the remaining meat with the golden eagles family; located on the other side of the mountainous wall.
After Wu Hao ughtered the wild boar, he quickly deboned the meat while at the same time, separating the head, feet, and the internal organs.
After he finished separating the meat, Wu Hao then went to the nest of the golden eagles family, opposite of the cliff he was on and said, These internal organs and bones, I will leave them here for you all to slowly clear off! Wu Hao didnt care whether the golden eagle understood his words or not. After finished talking, he just threw the internal organs and bones, which he had separated earlier, towards the side of the nest.
In fact, this ce was already full of animal carcases. Obviously these were all the end products of the previous prey hunted by the golden eagle.
As for Wu Hao himself, he carried the boar meat and heart back to the camp site. Parts of the meat and heart were naturally prepared for the young little eagle. The remaining meat would then be be used for the his own rations of the day.
Besides the meat of the wild animals, the heart was also a nice treat. Usually, when the golden eagle went out for a hunting trip, it would usually eat the best part of the meat and the heart before bringing back the remaining scraps for the young ones to eat or just keep them for the next meal.
Alright, I will only feed youter. Eating everything at once is not good for you! Looking at the way it acted while it was eating the meat, Wu Hao also found such a scene to be interesting. However, he wouldnt let it eat too much at once.
After he finished feeding the little young eagle, Wu Hao began to prepare his own breakfast. His breakfast for today was very simple. Simple wild boar meat with some tiny mushrooms on top and a pot of porridge. If it was like before, Wu Hao definitely wouldnt dare to pick up any mushrooms which grew inside of the mountain range.
This was because if you werent an expert in this area, by blindly picking up mushrooms for consumption, that was just courting your own death. After all, those fungi in the wild, most of them were toxic. But now, it was just a simple task for Wu Hao to identify whether they were toxic or not.
He just had to use his spiritual perception to analyze these little fungi, he would then be able to understand their mode of growth and the mainponents in them.
Therefore any poisons would be detected by him with just a nce.
In addition to fungi, there were also many delicious wild vegetables which could be consumed. Whether in their nutritional value or taste, they were all iparable to those from farms.
En! This tastes really good! Swallowing a spoon of congee, Wu Hao also couldnt help but to point out its delectability! Then, he began to finish the congee.
Because his metabolism rate was now much faster than before, his bodys needs had also increased several times over. Thus, he now had to eat several times more every serving. Thus for this pot of congee, he easily finished it all up.
Alright, back to work! After bing satisfied with his meal, Wu Hao then took all of the tools needed and flew to the site where he worked yesterday.
Yesterday, he had already settled the wooden nk for his wooden house. He not only prepared those for the house but also for the furniture like chairs, tables, and a bed.
For the furniture, he would have to use giant Chinese redwood. At first, he actually wanted to use red sandalwood but due to its rarity in the Qinling mountains, he didnt try forcing it. Anyway, when he happens to have the opportunity to do so then, it still wouldnt bete to do so.
At worst, when he was free, he could always go to the Yunnan Province or some mountain in Southeast Asia to get all the red sandalwood that he needed. But for such a n, he would have to dy it for the future.
Arriving at the open space which he had cleared for the wood, Wu Hao first smoothened all of the wood nks. Then, he made sure that the beams for the wooden house were properly convexed.
Afterpleting all of the tasks, he went ahead with the surface carbonization. Although this wood had just been recently cut down and their moisture content was still high, Wu Haos requirements werent that high.
Just a simple surface level carbonization would already satisfy him.
With his telekic ability to control it, naturally the whole job was finished quite quickly. At the same time, Wu Hao controlled various tools to give the final touches to the wooden nks. A few hourster, he had finished smoothing the wood and the groove which he was supposed to open, he had cleared them as well.
As hepleted these tasks, Wu Hao didnt immediately go ahead with the carbonization process. Instead, he put them on top of dry stones, letting them dry even further.
This was because the weather for today was just too good, with the sun shining and everything. Plus, he still wanted to open up the mountain wall on the cliff, thus there was still time for the wood to dry.
It wouldnt bete to carbonize the wood after he finished the opening up the mountain wall for a cave.
Moreover, he should go back to the young eagle right now and feed his empty little belly.
How nice would it be if there was a drill right now? Then opening up the mountain wall for a cave wouldnt be such a hassle! With Wu Haos ability controlling the stone cutting tools, he found that cutting the mountain wall in such way was too inefficient.
If only he had a 30 cm drill, it wouldnt take him too long to drill out a cave from the mountain wall.
After all, his telekinesis could rece the force needed for the motor drill to work. With his telekinesis, the drill, without doubt, would be more stable and efficient.
It was too bad that in the previous trip, he didnt take the opportunity to buy arge scale drill. A drill of only a few centimeter wouldnt be of much use to him.
However, although using his current tools would take him quite a lot of time, it was still faster than manually using his hands.
If normal manpower was to be hired to open up the mountain wall for a cave, the difficulty would be extremely high. For example, during the ancient times and in some scenic ces which now had wooden nks as a pathway for humans to walk, this was the method used in opening up the mountain wall for caves. Only then, by nting wooden nks onto the cave would it assume the shape of a pathway for humans to walk on.
But for the current Wu Hao, he wanted to build a wooden house in the cliff, on the mountainous wall. Directly cutting up the mountain wall was definitely better than nting wooden nks in cave as it was much deeper and bigger.
By the way of Wu Haos nning, each cave would have to be at least 1.5 meters in depth, this was the only way to support the wooden house outside.
Time flew by, after several continuous hours of hitting the wall, six caves with a diameter of more than 30 cm and depth nearing 2 meters were sessfully made by Wu Hao.
This really is a costly way of living. In the future if I am to do such work, I will definitely get myself a drill. These primitive tools are too slow to work with. After he finished digging all the caves, Wu Hao then started his next job with his telekinesis, it was also the most boring of all the other jobs.
Chapter 40: Trending Video
Chapter 40: Trending Video
......
Noticing that the time was still early, after Wu Hao finished had finished a few caves, he went a few kilometers away to the piled up wooden nks. They were ready to start carbonization on the surface of wood before transferring them behind the camp on the cliff.
In that case, the wooden house would be fully built by tomorrow.
This was because the main structure for the wooden house had already beenpleted. The only thing left to do was to fix the structures in ce and everything would be done.
The rest that he needed to do required more details, such as the production of wooden furniture to fill up the house.
However, as Wu Hao was busy working on his wooden house deep in the mountains, the Intemunity in China was breaking with hot news!
That day, Wu Haos post in the forum had reached more than thousands of messages. As for Tieba which only had several thousand active users originally, now had multiplied several times over. Now the total number of users had exceeded ten thousand.
Reaching such a result was mainly due to the users who kept sharing the post. As for Wu Haos video in Youdou, the video also went viral. At the bottom of the video, thements reached several thousands as well. And this video was now at the top of the home page.
Besides these two tform where Wu Hao himself posted the pictures and video on, once otherwork new stations received the news, naturally one by one, they would reprint and publish the report.
In just a mere period of 24 hours, the news had almost spread to every main social mediawork. Even CCTV and some television stations in certain provinces began to air the story.
Who is the one who took this video?! This is not simply just kick-ass anymore, but a miracle!
I think this should have been done by a professional team with high-tech aerial photography equipment. If not, how could a human get that close to wild beasts?
Stop exining what everyone already knew.
Besides the argument by Inte users, some experts naturally wouldnt miss such a golden opportunity to share their expert opinions.
Professor Zhu, I would like to ask about the South China tiger video which circted on the Inte yesterday. What is your opinion about it? Some random television channelunched an interview programme in a rush, the host was now asking a middle-aged man.
This expert is one of the higher-ups in the national wildlife protection research institution. At this moment, facing the question from the host, his face was somehow solemn.
First of all, from the photos and video released by the unknown person, they are indeed an actual adult South China tiger living in the wild. When I first got the news, I was in total shock and disbelief.
This is because our countrys relevant organisations and World Wildlife Research and Protection Agency had organised a joint operation ten years ago to inspect the area where South China tigers could live.
But through our study, there was not even a single trace of showing the existence of South China tigers. Today, to be able to see an actual South China tiger, indeed it shocked me but at the same time, I felt very pleased.
After all, this is a species which we humans thought to have already gone extinct but still exists today. Then, we must work even harder to protect their natural habitat. Right now, taking this opportunity, I would like to appeal to the audience out there to cherish the beautiful environment that remains.
In addition to the several TV stations organising talk show, the national cybersecurity department had been urged by National and International Wildlife Research Associates to find the identity of the individual or organisation that released the video and pictures.
Leader, Im sorry. In regards to the one who was responsible in releasing those pictures and video, the ount was only made yesterday. The information on the ount is all fake. It is through these random sites that the person seeded in registering.
So, I am pretty sure that the one who released all of these things is definitely a super hacker. In a building at the capital, aputer technician reported to his executive.
Super hacker! A middle-aged man frowned. After pondering for a moment, he voiced out, Alright, I know. From now on, I want you to arrange two people to monitor the movement of these two ounts. My sixth sense is telling me that this guy will definitely appear again. Also, inform those research organisations that we are investigating and ask them to go back to wait for our news!
Understood, leader!
When Wu Hao registered the ount to upload the video and pictures, he had already taken into ount that he would be investigated. Thus, he had already cleaned every trace of his existence. To find any hints from these two ounts was absolutely impossible.
Although they had monitored these two ounts, it wouldnt bring any impact to Wu Hao. Not to mention that they now knew that Wu Hao might be some super hacking monster, naturally they would increase their attention towards these ounts.
If they were able to use these ounts to sniff out Wu Hao, that was their aim the whole time!
They didnt have any malicious intent when they wanted to find him. After all, Wu Hao didnt vite any nationalws by releasing these pictures and video. Actually they only wanted to know more about the story and bringing Wu Hao into their organisation.
However, there was no way to achieve his idea of theirs. Wu Hao never had any ideas in joining any government or individual organisations.
Even if he now had super abilities, he didnt have any ns to get involved with any government organisation. He just wished to be an invisible wild explorer which sometimes got their attention, that would be more than enough.
When Wu Hao had finished bringing over all of the wooden nks, which had already been carbonized, all the way to the camp, only now did he have the time to open hisptop to take a look at the situation.
En. Not bad! The online discussion is quite hot! Hehe, I will wait a few days before making a documentary for you guys! Being able to share what he saw yet not having to worry about identity being exposed, this was naturally a happy asion.
Thus, Wu Hao who was now in a good mood and decided that after hepleted his wooden house tomorrow, he would take his video camera and travel around the mountains to film a wild animal documentary.
For this documentary, Wu Hao already had his own ideas. Based on his intention, he intended to use a first person point of viewbined with an aerial view. The documentary would be divided into two big categories: nts and wild animals.
And this process would naturally take up a lot of time. After all, ording to Wu Haos n, he wanted to film every animal and nt on Earth which were hard for ordinary people to see.
During this time, Wu Hao would obviously visit all sorts of natural environments to get the first person point of view during his adventure.
Of course, his first person point of view, he himself would naturally not appear in the video. He would wear a cap equipped with a high-definition action camera which would follow him around in the mountains during his exciting adventures.

Chapter 41: The idea of filming a documentary
Chapter 41: The idea of filming a documentary
......
For the aerial shots, he would use his telekinesis so that the audience would think that the documentary was shot by a professional wildlife filming team.
If this documentary of Wu Haos started to make name, it was possible that it could even bring him a huge fortune!
It was worth mentioning that the usual market price for these kind of wildlife films were not cheap. Media organisation, like the internationally renowned BBC, would be happy to spend big money to get the copyrights to the documentary.
Moreover, those wildlife films on the Inte now, with their quality, Wu Hao simply couldnt look up to them.
The one he wanted to shoot was none other than a 360 degree documentary of the target. Plus with the range of his spiritual detection, right now his full range covered a 1 km radius.
With such a wide range of detection, it could be said that all the animals within his range wouldnt be able to hide from his eyes. Whatever he wanted, he could just film it as he liked.
Hehe! I have a hunch that when Iunch this documentary, itll seriously go viral! Thinking of this, Wu Haoughed in happiness.
As long as this documentary became popr when heunched it, the works that followed would certainly be able to help him generate money.
As for how he was to collect the profit, this wouldnt be a problem for Wu Hao. He could just transfer the money from the Inte into nameless foreign bank ount.
And then through some finagling, he would transfer it into his name. That ount obviously wouldnt hold a lot of cash. As long as it was sufficient enough to support normal expenses, that should be more than enough. If necessary, he could pay directly through the nameless foreign bank ount. (E/N: Nowadays its called bitcoin haha, who needs a fake bank ount.)
The next morning, after Wu Hao finished had prepared the food, he began to formally build the wooden house.
The first thing that he wanted to do was to take those six carbonized wooden boards, which were six meters in length and more than 30 cm in diameter, and nt them into the caves at the cliff.
These caves werent level but had a slight slope. The reason for such a design was to allow the wood to be fixed on properly.
After all, all of the wood contained quite the amount of moisture. When the moisture had evaporated, the size of the wood would definitely shrink. If the caves were built horizontally, there was a possibility that the wooden boards would slide out.
And with a certain degree of incline, such a possibility could bepletely avoided.
At the cliff, the six caves were separated from each other by a meter. With six caves in a row, the total length exceeded eight meters.
However, the wooden house that Wu Hao nned to build had a width of three meters and a length of seven meters. As for the remaining one meter, that would be his balcony.
In other words, the entire base of the wooden house was eight meters in length, four meters in width.
As for these six wooden pir which were more than 30 cm in diameter and six meters in length, they sloped nearly two meters in depth on the cliff. The bearing capacity was fully able to support the entire weight of wooden house.
Since these wooden pirs and nks were made yesterday, the entire process for today was moving forward smoothly.
First, Wu Hao cut a cone shape at one end of the pirs. Then with his telekinesis to control the wooden pir, he used all of his strength to nail it into the caves.
The reason to shape one end of the pir into a conical one was none other than to make the pir even more stable and solid by nailing it to the ground.
Since each pir had undergone the carbonization treatment and Wu Hao even went ahead in adding the finishing touches to the surface with paint; the entire process moved along smoothly. Besides that, such actions ensured the longevity of the wood as it prevents the wood from being corroded after imnting onto the mountain wall.
After these six wooden pirs had been nailed onto the mountain wall, Wu Hao then took the wooden nks that were about 10 cm in depth to fix them towards the six wooden pirs.
In order to ensure each wooden nk sustain a uniform amount of force, any extra parts of the wood were ttened out. This was to ensure that after fixing on the wooden nks, the structure would have even more stability.
As for the original problem of the slope near the cliff, Wu Hao had already calcted the degree of the slope for the pirs. Then for parts that was closer to the cliff, each pir had a wooden extension added to it to produce the appropriate slope.
And these wooden extensions that werebined together with the pirs had been specifically made into convex structure to ensure that the instation would be firm and strong.
It could be said that after Wu Haos careful calctions, the entire wooden houses details and problems had been taken into ount. After all, with Wu Haos currentputational ability, these calctions were just a piece of cake.
Dont even mention a wooden house, even with a much moreplex structure or operation, Wu Hao could quickly utilize his brain and discover the best solution.
Thanks to the mysterious ck stone unlocking previously inessible regions of his brain, Wu Hao was able to gain powerful abilities.
It was not an exaggeration tobel Wu Hao as the one and only human geek in this world. A super genius, the amount that his brain couldpute definitely wasnt worse than any of the supeputers on Earth!
In other words, if Wu Hao was now to go and learn new human technology, after a short amount of time, he would be able to master the essence of that technology. With some research, he could evene up with better technology.
In the movie, when the heroine only activated up to 30% of her brain, she could already master every human discipline at an extreme speed through the Inte.
In fact, with the current development of Wu Haos brain regions, he should be at around 35%. However, each person would differ from others due to a wide variety of brain structures.
Wu Haos brain to be able to develop to such extent, and first and foremost, the main improvement was in his telekinesis. As for the plot from the movie, although the protagonist could control human body, it wasnt with telekic force.
But it was through controlling the maic fields within ones body that she could stop the bodys movements, easily killing the person and so on.
From the very beginning, when Wu Hao opened the door into developing the regions of his brain, the first abilities which had received were telekinesis and spiritual perception. As for his super memory and analytical abilities, it was through the mysterious ck stone that these two additional abilities had activated.
In fact, regarding this ck stone which allowed the secondary development of his brain, Wu Hao could somehow guess the origin of the stone. From the shape of the cave at the mountain wall, this stone should be a fragment from a meteorite from outer space if he wasnt wrong.
However, as for the content and specific materialposition of the stone, the current Wu Hao had no way to identify and confirm them. After all, the whole stone had already beenpletely absorbed by him. Even if he wanted to do research and analysis, there wasnt any way to start!

After the site of the wooden houses floor waspleted, the remaining walls and supporting beams were easy to install. This was because all theponents had been made beforehand. As long as they perfectly fit together, everything would be fine.
Since all of the wooden nks were made by Wu Hao using his telekinesis to control the tools, when the wooden nksbined with one another, there wasnt much risk involved.
Plus, the fact that each wooden nk was made into convex surface shaped and coupled with ayer of tung oil coating, when every piece connected together, it waspletely airtight.
In addition to the carbonization on each wooden piece, the originally bright color was no longer present and had changed into a dark brown color.
After finishing the four faces of the wall and beams, the next step would be to finish the pyramid shaped roof. As for the roof, the wood chosen by Wu Hao had the same width and specifications as the wooden nks for the wall.
Both side of the roof had a width of 90 cm and was 6 m in length. In the middle separating both sides, there was a strong beam.
In order to prevent the roof from leaking when it was raining, Wu Hao specifically shaped each piece of the wood with a certain degree of curvature. This design was to prevent the rain from leaking through the gaps between the wood.
Although each piece of wood used in roof construction also was shaped into a convex shaped surface andyered with tung oil, Wu Hao wanted to do a better job at this. He deliberately installed a 30 cm width wooden nk with a convex surface in between the gaps of the roof pieces in order to seal it off.
Thispletely avoided any possibility of water leaking through the gaps. And at the middle of the roof, it was the same 30 cm long wooden piece being fixed into a triangle shape. When both sides of the roof werepletely built, Wu Hao just needed to fix the roof on the wooden houses pir and the process would be done.
For all of these tasks, Wu Hao used his telekinesis toplete them. Thus the whole process of building the wooden house only took an hour toplete.
That also included the balcony and surrounding fences. After he finished this task, the next step would be to start building the furniture for the interior decoration. Such work need delicate and fine movements and Wu Hao had never done this before.
However, with his current analytical ability and telekinesis to control it, a double decker wooden bed, wardrobe, table, and two chairs were quickly set up.
This was because all of the furniture had already been nned yesterday. Today, he just had to fix all of the pieces together.
Finally, everything is done! Next, I just need to buy some nice mattresses, quilts, and etc and no longer need to use the tent and sleeping bag. Admiring the sess of his house, Wu Hao was quite pleased and satisfied with his work.
Although this wooden house didnt emphasize much on patterns and designs, overall, it gave off a very strong, stable, and simplistic impression.
Just the thickness of the wooden wall, it was already about 5 cm. Using such thick wooden nks to build a 3 meter wide and 7 meter long wooden house, it hadpletely fulfilled a very high standard.
The windows of the wooden house, Wu Hao built them at a height of 1.2 meters and 3 meter in width. However, the window only had wooden frames. There was no ss installed in.
For the ss window, Wu Hao intended to wait until night before buying it when he was on the way to the city buying his necessities. Moreover, this time, he also intended to get himself some high-powered sr panels and several cameras for the documentary.
Before this, he only had one camera. To shoot from a variety of angles for the documentary, one camera definitely wouldnt be enough to do a good job.
After all, if he was to capture those animals living in caves, he not only needed a night vision camera, but also a mini camera. Only by getting this equipment ready would he be able to shoot a documentary that he could be satisfied with.
As for the purchasing sr panels, in addition to supplying electricity for the light bulbs for the house, he also needed to charge hisptop and cameras.
This time, my purchase list isnt that long. There are still a few hours left before the sky darkens. I will first buy it online at INte then when the timees, I can go straight there and take care of everything at once. Then, I wont have to go searching everywhere for the items. Thinking of this, Wu Hao immediately opened up hisptop. Sitting on top of the chair which he had just made, he began to search for the items he wanted.
First of all, Wu Hao found one shop in Changan City which sold photography equipment. Since this store also did business online, Wu Hao quickly selected all the video equipment that he wanted.
After paying a deposit, he told the store that he would get themter at night.
Then Wu Hao ordered several sr panels which would cover the entire wooden houses roof. His order also included the batteries, wiring, and other things.
In general, he had made orders for the items which were more important. As for the daily necessities, he could just drop by some random storester on and pick them up there. Anyway, he had no requirements regarding this.
Time passed by quickly. When the time was 6 pm, the sky gradually turned dark. After all, it was now November. In another month, the mountains should probably have snow.
And Wu Hao waited until the sky turnedpletely dark before he started his journey to Changan City. The flight towards the city was much easier this time since he had gone there before.
Reaching the suburban region, Wu Hao didnt immediately go to collect his items. Instead, he first rented a small truck and went to the store to pick them up.
When the truck passed by a shop selling sses, Wu Hao asked the driver to stop for a moment. He bought three sets of sses before they continued driving towards the mall.
Just like that, the entire shopping trek took nearly three hours. Only after Wu Hao had picked up all the items on his list did he ask the driver to drop him off in the suburban region.
When they arrived at the ce where he was first at, he started to unload the items. And the driver also helped him move the goods from truck. Looking at the pile of items in front of him, Wu Hao began to have a deep thought.
Should I get myself some equipment to store all of these items. After all, if these items were scattered around, that would affect my flying speed! Currently, Wu Haos telekinesis could control up to 1 million kilograms, if he was to fly at his highest speed, he was able to reach 1000 km per hour.
Of course, this 1000 km per hour was not Wu Haos limit. If he didnt need to save up his energy to protect himself, using exactly everything to support his body weight to fly, his flight speed would at least be Mach 3 and above.
It is worth noting that the worldsrgest engine thruster, only had a thrust force of about 15,000 kg. Even if two of these engines were equipped, it would only have a total thrust of 30,000 kg.
But dont forget, in order to carry such a high-powered engine thruster, the weight itself would at least be 20 tons.
Thus 30,000 kg thrust, since they were able to carry objects that weighed more than 20 tons to fly at Mach 3 and above. Thus, with his telekinesis with a force of 10 tons, it was absolutely possible to carry his current weight of 100 plus kg to fly past Mach 3.

Chapter 43: Producing the Documentary
......
It was just that during the process, there were many factors to be considered. For example, such as speed, how long could Wu Hao maintain it for?
Plus, he also needed to deal with problems like high pressure, heat, and other problems too.
There were so many reasons for Wu Hao to fly at his top speed of 1000 km/h. It was almost the same speed as normal aircraft.
With this, he still had energy in reserve during the process of flying in sky with his telekinesis to power up a shield to surround him. This shield would protect his body from being affected by the high heat and pressure.
That was the very reason why he couldnt utilize all of his energy to increase his flight speed. He would have to divide a huge portion of his energy to maintain the shield around his body.
After all, if he wasnt being protected by the shield, not to mention 1000 km/h, even at 200 km/h, it wasnt something a humans body can handle.
If he really fly at 1000 km/h without any protective shield, it was very likely that his clothes and then some would be shredded. His skin would be torn apart and there would be smokeing out from him due to the friction.
In other words, if it wasnt for the protective shield, the moment he exceeded 200 km/h, it would be very difficult for his body to withstand the strain.
Although his physical attribute were much better than ordinary humans, it still wasnt tough enough to endure pressure!
This aerial shot idea isnt bad. However, for the specific details about it, I still need to properly n ahead. Well, lets get all these things back to camp first before thinking about it! Wu Haos mind recovered from his internal monologue and he immediately began to transfer his items inside some of the mountains.
Although he bought a lot of stuff and it covered a huge area, the total weight was only about two tons.
Carrying back so many items, although his speed couldnt be too fast, overall it didnt really affect his flying.
Therefore, it took him about an hour to carry all of these items back to the tform beside the wooden house.
Back at the camp, Wu Hao began assembling the sr panels. The sr panels he bought were the best on the market right now.
Although the power generated by original products didnt satisfy Wu Hao, he had already prepared to modify these panels since he bought a lot of essories and tools for this modification.
The current learning ability of Wu Hao, when he ordered the products in afternoon, he had already thoroughly analysed the technology behind them. With his brains superputational power, he was soon able to find a way to enhance the efficiency of the sr panels.
Therefore, not only did he purchase the finished products of the sr panels, he also bought lots of essories, necessary materials, and others things from his shopping list.
With such a heaven defying ability, coupled with his brains superputational power, all the materials and tools automatically found their purpose in the right spots. The ones that needed to bebined wouldbined. The ones that needed to be modified would be modified. In a harmonious way, the tools and materials acted together automatically in being modified.
Now, the wooden houses roof had beenpletely covered by the ck sr panels. On one corner of the wall inside the wooden house, the corresponding batteries, transformers, and a variety of circuits were neatly fixed there.
Alright, done. Now not only have I solved the problem of charging myptop, I could even use the excess electricity to cook. With this, I no longer need to eat roasted meat everyday until I get sick of it! Regarding these modified sr panels, Wu Hao himself was quite satisfied with his work.
The current modified sr panels could generate 40% more energy than before. It could be said that Wu Hao had raised the abilities of these sr panels to the limit.
Improving the efficiency, even if it was cloudy right now, they could still generate a lot of power to be stored in the batteries. At the very least, it couldst for a few days of cooking, charging theptop, and using light at night without much difficulty.
Also, when the weather was clear, these panels would be able to charge the batteries to full. As long as Wu Hao didnt use any high-powered equipment, it should be sufficient for daily use.
A few dayster, the news of Wu Hao releasing the South China tigers pictures and video began to cool down. After all, today was the age of Inte. News disseminated quickly and was also gone at the same speed.
However, at least now the country and world wildlife protection organisations were aware of the point that South China tigers were not extinct.
Regarding the news on the Inte, Wu Hao naturally took a look at it. Thus, today he was once again ready to make some publicity for his self-produced documentary.
En, These days, I have filmed nearly every animal in the Qinling Mountains. These should be enough for several episodes for the documentary. Lets get started with the first episode then! The main character of the documentary would be this particr South China tiger. In order to let the world know more about how this tiger survives in wild, he specifically took a filmed it for a whole day.
From how it hunted and all of its various habits to the smallest details, Wu Hao even went out of his way to catch a prey for it to pursue in order to capture the scene of this tiger hunting. After ying a cat and mouse game for several minutes, finally Wu Hao allowed the tiger to sessfully catch the prey.
In addition in spending the whole day alone with this adult South China tiger to know about its life habits, Wu Hao continued filming for the next few days.
Giant pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, takins, crested ibis, gazelles, wild boars, ck bears, musk deers, small muntjacs, hedgehogs, bamboo rats, flying squirrels, swine badgers, great civets, small civets, clouded leopards, and etc, more than 20 different kinds of animals.
These animals werent filmed in great detail like the South China tiger however, the quality was still much better than the current avable documentaries being aired.
After all, Wu Haos current filming techniques could be said as the best if not one of the best in the world. During the process of filming these animals, he also identally met some rare insects and snakes.
Of course, this was just the first series. Wu Haos second series would focus more on cold-blooded animals and underwater fishes.
Soon, Wu Hao extracted copies of the videos into a video editing software. And this video software, the most mainstream one had been tinkered by Wu Hao to bring a better optimisation.
Using arge number of intelligent programs, the videos files could easily be edited and cropped out before using the most appropriate methods to link them.
An hourter, this series which had a total of 9 episodes, each episode about 35 minutes in length, had all beenpleted.
En, next these videos should be synchronized with reasonable introductions with text and sound effects. The text descriptions were very easy. In just a few minutes, Wu Hao had sorted out all the appropriate textual descriptions.
Then followed by the smart voice reading software, the text on disy was read aloud.
......

Chapter 44: Releasing the Trailer
Chapter 44: Releasing the Trailer
Speech recognition technology had long been used in various fields. Even on the Inte, there were a variety of speech recognition software which could read out the inputted words.
For example, many novel readers used such functions to read the text directly.
However, these human voice packs felt very rigid as they read out the context. Since they were without any human emotions or feelings, it sounded very awkward.
Thus, Wu Hao tried to improve the voice recognition software to make up for this deficit.
First of all, he recorded every English and Chinese documentaries currently avable, the style and tone were all taken into consideration as they underwent multiple calctions and analysis.
Then after finished the calctions and analysis, he then tried to match all the words and meaning with his documentary text.
By now, Wu Hao could be considered as havingpleted the preparation for the voice recognition software to dub the documentary. Why he did he have to work that hard to dub the documentary?
In fact, it was actually very simple. After all, even the same words used by human didnt sound the same in different scenarios which then brings a different meaning altogether. This is the so-called human.
For the currently avable speech recognition software, the reason why peopleined that the sound was awkwards was all because it didnt perform well in this department.
But this documentary of his, Wu Hao had recorded and taken the tone and words from currently avable documentaries for his own usage.
By doing so, Wu Haos own version of voice recognition software naturally had a nice and corresponding tone.
After all, no matter what kind of documentary, the tone and content was almost the same. That was why Wu Hao was able to produce his documentary so quickly with his own version of his speech recognition software.
Completing the voice recognition software, the following sound effects would be very easy. First of all, a documentary itself didnt require many sound effect. Usually, it would only appear during the introduction and conclusion.
Moreover, the sound effects were generally the same as the other documentaries. However, Wu Hao didnt copy the sound effects exactly as they were. Through an audio synthesis software, he had made several corresponding versions of them.
Alright, Im done. Today I will release a trailer then. The official documentary will be released on the following week. Then every week I will release another episode! Looking at his masterpiece, Wu Hao felt satisfied.
The title of his own self-directed documentary was called The Original Adventure: Beast of Legends Vol I.
This first series was divided into a few episodes. For example, the first episode was called The disappearance of the South China tiger. In this episode, Wu Hao had specifically filmed the daily living habits of the South China tiger. From morning till night, he had done a detailed introduction.
Second episode, third episode, and so on were emphasized on different kinds of animals.
Wu Hao would keep doing this series. It could be said that it was a hobby of his, also at the same time, he was making up for theck of such high quality documentaries.
In addition to this series, Wu Hao of course would still do other series like marine life. Also those mysterious geographical environments, he would definitely add them to his checklist.
However, these were all ns for the future. After all, he had onlypleted filming the animals in the Qinling Mountains. There were still many wild animals that he hadnt captured on film yet.
Within the beast kingdom, besides giant beasts, snake and insects were also popr amongst viewers.
This was because Wu Hao was going to use a shooting angle which nobody had used before to share the life of such animals in the jungle.
Afterpleting the three minute trailer, Wu Hao logged onto the Youdou video site and released the documentary trailer.
For now, Wu Hao didnt intend to sell whatever copyrights he had. Even if he wanted to sell it, he would have to wait for several episodes to be released and be widely circted before considering such a thing.
In fact, if Wu Hao wanted to earn money, there were numerous other ways for him to do so.
For example, the software which he had modified for his video and audio editing, if he was to sell them to somepanies, he would be able to obtain quite the sum of money.
Moreover, these products were just something which Wu Hao randomly improved upon without getting serious. If he wanted to spend more time studying the other aspects of the software, it would definitely earn him more!
However, Wu Hao simply didnt have any such ideas right now. Thus, he naturally wouldnt care to bother himself with such things.
......
Within a huge building in Beijing, a national security cybersecurity team, who was responsible for monitoring Wu Haoswork ount, noticed that there were some movements and quickly reported to their leader.
Leader, that guy has appeared! However, he only released one video before he logged out.
Do you manage to get his IP information? The middle-aged man frowned as he asked.
No! He didnt leave behind any traces of his trail. Several members of the group sighed as they replied.
Seems that this guy is truly a master. What video is he releasing this time?
Leader, look at it for yourself! One of the members immediately yed the video content on the monitor.
On the monitor, the video started with some exciting background music, some clips of various animals appearing followed by ten seconds of the South China tiger hunting a prey. At the most critical moment when the tiger was approaching the prey, the video was cut off.
Followed by brief introductions of various animals, it finally ended with the officialunch date and an email address as the point of contact.
This is the world of wild animals? Having finished watching the trailer, the team leader felt surprised at the scene within the video however, he still didnt understand much about the trailer.
It should be some kind of documentary of the animal world. Since the title is The Original Adventure, all the shots are really from the wilderness!
En. Didnt that guy leave behind an email address? Leave him a message that we are from national security cybersecurity team and we need to meet him for some things!
Leader, I think that the probability of that guy replying back is very small!
Theres not much hope but we still need to try! Since that guy has such mysterious technology in his possession and didnt do anything to harm the nation, this shows that he is not a ck hat hacker. If we could use such talent for our nations benefit, it is definitely something to be strive for. Since Wu Hao didnt cause any impact to the national securitywork, the organisation wouldnt casually take any measures towards him.
Moreover, even if they wanted to do something, there was no way to do so.
This was because they simply couldnt find even the smallest trace of Wu Hao.
Chapter 45: Flying device project
Chapter 45: Flying device project
......
The next following days, Wu Hao continued to shoot videos within the Qingling Mountains. Although all of the Qinling Mountains covered a range of over 1000 km, Wu Hao still hadnt encounter anything unique as he travelled deep into remote regions.
If he was to insist on anything unusual, it would be that two days ago, he met a 16 meter long python in a pool of a canyons wend.
As the main goal of Wu Haos current trip was to find cold-blooded animals in the forest, when he saw the snake for the first time, he was also surprised.
Because this 16 meter long python from his visual point of view, it looked extremely fierce. Even for a beast like a tiger, if it was to encounter such arge python, it would still have to take a detour.
As a note, currently, thergest discovered python in the world was only 14 meter long. As for those uploaded images of a python being somewhere between 40 to 50 meters on the Inte, they were aplete hoax.
But now, Wu Hao was able to find such a python in this humid canyon. Of course, Wu Hao never thought of this being the worldsrgest python.
After all, the well known python paradise was located in the mysterious Amazon Forest. Wu Hao believed that if this world really had pythons tens of meters long, then the only ce they would exist would be in the Amazon Forest.
As Wu Hao stumbled upon this stripped python, he naturally wouldnt let this chance pass by. He specifically filmed it for a long time and even out of his way to find a prey for it to swallow.
Wu Hao spent the whole day filming this python. However, this time, he divided his filming into several sessions.
As this python was definitely an animal who had lived for a long term in this deep and dark canyon, this canyon was enormous and engorged arge area, there were also a number ofrge herbivores.
This python was definitely the king in this canyon. In fact, even from the scope of the entire Qinling Mountains, it should probably at the very top of the food chain.
After all these days of filming, it can be said that Ive covered nearly all of the rare species which the world hasnt seen. All those animals and nts, Ive already filmed them all.
These videos should be sufficient enough to edit into another ten episodes. Then my next step will be taking a look at other ces. This night, Wu Hao had to work within his wooden house. While he was finishing the editing process for the videos, he began to consider his next n.
Currently, his documentary series had about twenty episodes ready. ording to the schedule of one episode per week, it would require a total of five months topletely air them all.
Therefore, the following time, besides visiting other ce, there should be enough time for him to do something else too.
Perhaps I should really consider making a flying device. After all, the next time when I have to travel to other ces, I would have to carry all sort of equipment around. Although they arent heavy, not having a fixed container for them makes it quite inconvenient.
Also, once I carry a lot of stuff would also affect my flying speed. Even if I am to fly at a low altitude at night, the possibility of being discovered by others is quite high.
As for flying in higher altitudes, Im certain I would be detected by the radar for carrying this much stuff around. Seems like I have to first solve this problem before anything else. Wu Hao secretly thought to himself and made a quick decision.
He needed to build a flying device which wasnt inconvenient to carry around and wouldnt be detected by the radar.
In fact, this flying device that Wu Hao wanted to build could be considered simple yetplicated.
First of all, the main purpose in Wu Hao building this flying device was to easily store all of his things such as: daily necessities, his backpack, the camera equipment, hisptop, and other such items.
As for this flying device, it must be lightweight and during high altitude flight, it had to have the ability to avoid the current radar detection.
In other words, this cloaking device needed to have two simulutaneous kinds of invisibility. First, it needed to prevent detection from infrared radars. Secondly, it needed to be able to refract light so as to make the user look invisible to the naked eye.
At present, some European and American research institutions made good progress in this light refraction stealth technology. Although it still couldnt achieve a perfect state of invisibility, it was still able to achieve some kind of translucent state.
As for radar detection, a lot of countries with their new generation of jets already used such technology. However, due to the aircraft engines and other various factors of its aerodynamic design, they still couldnt achieve 100 percent untraceability.
However, the flying device that Wu Hao wanted to make didnt have such factors. This was because he didnt intend to install any engines on the flying device.
Therefore, he was able to adopt the aerodynamic design closest to perfection in his flying device- reducing the possibility of being detected by radar signals.
If this flying device was to be coated with a stealth material to prevent radar detection, it could definitely escape detection from any radar in this world.
Of course, if Wu Hao wanted to make his project perfect, he needed to take into ount the light refraction requirements too.
However, it looked easy but the material required for the flying device was a major problem too.
After all, Wu Haos first requirement was that the fying device needed be lightweight and required room to ce all of his things.
After all, the power source for this flying device would be his own telekinesis. If the flying device was too heavy and then including the weight from his stuff, it would be too cumbersome.
Therefore, in addition to ensuring the material strength and cloaking factors, Wu Hao also needed to make sure that the overall weight would be below 1 ton.
As for the space in the flying device, he could make it slightly bigger so that it could fit goods with weighed between 2 to 4 tons.
This was the flying device that Wu Hao needed which fulfilled all of the requirements.
However, to make such a flying device, Wu Hao needed to research for a new lightweight and sturdy material.
This material definitely wouldnt be metal. It needed be some kind ofposite material which hadnt appeared in the world yet.
Seems like it wont be easy to make this flying device! However, I still need to try to know whether its possible or not. Thinking this, Wu Haos eyes grew brighter and brighter. It seemed that there was still a tiny hint of excitement there.
Alright, then this will be the n.
Then the next step would be gathering arge sum of money and getting myself a variety of materials and equipment!
En. Yea, if I want to build a flying device, I have to find a secluded location. Big cities and ces with a lot of people definitely wont do.
If I am to do my project in some remote area away from the cities, that shouldnt be a problem. But, in the test flights, it could be easily exposed to many people. I definitely dont want to be targeted by relevant departments. Wu Hao considered all sort of problems. Soon, within Wu Haos mind, a detailed n was slowly formting.
Chapter 46: Unrestrained purchasing
Chapter 46: Unrestrained purchasing
......
The next day, Wu Hao woke up early to hunt and bring back arge prey. In addition to preparing the meat for his meal, the rest of it was naturally to be left for the little carnivorous golden eagle for its feast.
However, Wu Hao nned to leave here for several days. Thus, he definitely couldn''t feed the little bird personally.
And after half a month of feeding the bird, there wasn''t much of a difference with its current sizepared to its brother,
"Well, little guy, for now, I can only send you back there." Ignoring the chirping of the little bird, Wu Hao held it securely and flew towards the other side of the cliff.
As Wu Hao had given some food to the golden eagle''s family everyday, the parents were no longer afraid of Wu Hao when they saw him. Instead, the moment that Wu Hao stepped into the cave, the eagles flew back into their nest.
"This animal is for you. It should be enough for all of you guys to eat for two days. I will leave this little guy in your care too." Wu Hao didn''t bother whether or not the golden eagle was able to understand his words as he said to himself.
However, he knew that even if the golden eagle didn''t understand his words, most likely it should have understood what he meant.
As for Wu Hao carrying this little bird over, the golden eagle would naturally understand his intentions. After all, Wu Hao lived just opposite from the cliff here!
With its vision, by casually flying in the sky, it would clearly be able to see Wu Hao with the little bird. Plus the fact that Wu Hao kept bringing them food everyday.
Animals also had their own consciences. In regards to who was good to them, they would be able to differentiate that as well.
The big prey that Wu Hao captured today was a giant takin that weighed about 700 pounds. And this takin still wasn''t fully grown. As it reached the peak of adulthood, it could even weigh more than 1 ton. Thus, describing it as a giant wasn''t an exaggeration.
Because Wu Hao caught such arge prey, it was more than enough for the golden eagle''s whole family to eat for several days. With the current weather, it wouldn''t be easy for the meat to spoil. For the eagles, it simply wasn''t a problem for the meat tost two days.
And in ordance to the changes in the weather, Wu Hao felt that this area would probably begin to snow in few days time.
Later that night, Wu Hao took advantage of the dark sky to fly towards the southwest. This time, the ce that Wu Hao was heading to was Myanmar. His main purpose there was to invest by buying jade rocks.
After all, if he wanted to make a flying device, he needed quite arge sum of money. And the fastest way to collect enough money was through purchasing rocks and cheating with his spiritual perception.
It wouldn''t matter because the rocks he would buy will definitely be valuable, what else could be faster in umting money than by investing in purchasing jade rocks!
All the way towards the southwest, halfway through his journey, Wu Hao stopped to rest for a while. After spending a few more hours flying in the middle of night, he finally reached the secondrgest city of Myanmar, Mandy, a world famous city with a jade marketce.
He casually looked for a hotel room to stay in for the night. The next day, Wu Hao headed straight towards the jade marketce.
"Boss, how much is one of these rocks?" Wu Hao had arrived at a shop selling authentic jade rocks and casually asked. Just now, he had already scanned through this pile of rocks with his spiritual perception. As a result of his scan, there were a few jade rocks which weren''t bad.
"1 for 10,000!" The shop owner replied in a simple manner.
As Wu Hao heard the price, he didn''t even n to bargain. Instead, he immediately took some jade rocks away and directly paid for them.
"Mister, don''t you want to extract them? If you buy rocks from my shop, you''ll get extraction services for free." The shop owner felt that Wu Hao''s actions were strange because he was eager to leave his shop.
"Nope, I will do it myselfter." Wu Hao smiled. It wasn''t a joke to extract these rocks on the spot.
It was because at that moment, it would definitely attract a lot of onlookers. This wasn''t something he wished to be a part of. Being inconspicuous was definitely better.
Plus, this jade marketce was quiterge. You could see shops selling authentic rocks everywhere. Although Wu Hao''s current capital wasn''trge, there wasn''t a need for him to spend so much to buy expensive rocks. Spending money on the rocks that they misjudged was enough.
Just like that, Wu Hao walked a fewps around the marketce. Offering double the price to the rider of the passing by trishaw, the back of the trishaw that he paid for became filled with small andrge rocks.
"En, I guess this should be enough. At this moment, a few people have already begun to mark me." Aftering out from a shop, he stopped his spending spree. On one hand, his ount was about to go empty and on the other hand, the trishaw wasn''t durable enough to load any more rocks.
After all, these rocks were heavy. For the trishaw to hold that many rocks was already quite demanding.
However, as Wu Hao was about to leave the marketce, a Chinese looking middle-aged man with a few of his followers smiled at Wu Hao and walked towards him.
"This mister, you''re also Chinese right?! This is really fortunate, fortunate! I am Zhou Hong from ''University Jewelry''. This is my business card. May I know how to address mister?"
Wu Hao immediately understood this man''s intentions. He must have seen Wu Hao buying a lot of rocks yet didn''t get any rocks extracted.
However, Wu Hao didn''t refuse. After all, the rocks that he bought were originally going to be exchanged for money.
"Nice to meet you. My family name is Wu." Wu Hao casually smiled.
"It''s nice meeting you too, Mr. Wu. I see that Mr. Wu bought so many rocks yet didn''t get any extractions. You must have nned to extract them in one store, all at once. If Mr. Wu doesn''t mind, I have a warehouse nearby to help you to extract the rocks."
"Of course, I believe that Mr. Wu understands what I mean. I just hope that you can sell some jade to me after the extractions." Zhou hong had been engaging in this business with more than ten years of experience. He would naturally be able to properly size people up. Noticing Wu Hao, who seemed to randomly buy rocks from various shops, he knew that Wu Hao definitely had his own hidden agenda.
In recent years, jade production was on the decline. Plus with the fact that thepetition within this field was getting more intense, whether or not he could obtain more jade and high quality ones, that would greatly affect hispany''s overall performance.
"En. I have my own ce to extract the rocks. I won''t have to trouble Boss Zhou with this. But, you don''t have to wait for me to finish extracting them all. If there is any jade harvested, it wouldn''t be toote to find Boss Zhou at that time." Wu Hao smiled and politely declined his offer. This was because Wu Hao knew the gross value of this pile of rocks.
From all the rocks he bought, there wasn''t one that was empty. Inside the rocks, they either contained arge amount of jade or were of good quality.
If he went to the warehouse that was offered, then without a doubt, he would be exposed!
Moreover to extract the jade from the rocks, even if it was done by a master with several decades of experience, it still wouldn''t be as precise as him.
As for Wu Hao''s refusal, it wasn''t something that Zhou Hong was surprised about. Politely returning the smile, he replied back, "If it''s like that then thank you Mr. Wu. If you get to harvest any jade, just give me a call. As for the price, you don''t have to worry. What I offer won''t be lower than market price."

Chapter 47: Being considered as a big fish
Chapter 47: Being considered as a big fish
......
Hearing this, Wu Hao could only politely add some good words and slowly ride the trishaw out out the marketce.
At the moment when Wu Hao had left, a bodyguard beside Zhou hong spoke out, "Boss, how do you know that the rocks that he bought surely have jade? I saw him buying those defective rocks for a cheap price."
This man must have followed Zhou Hong for many years. Being close to Zhou Hong, that was why he dared to question Zhou Hong.
"Hehe! With my decades of experience in sizing people up, and with his actions of randomly buying rocks at a cheap price, I''m pretty sure that he must have some secret technique or ability."
"In short, you only need to know that anybody who randomly buys these rocks, they might not be ordinary! But, I wonder whether this man will get through the pit in front of him!" Zhou Hong''s eyes slightly squinted as he looked towards the direction of Wu Hao''s disappearing figure.
In this marketce, having people staring at Wu Hao to mark him was a norm. Naturally, Wu Hao was aware of this. Thinking of the situation in this ce, he felt that it must have been amon thing.
First of all, Wu Hao came here by himself, to buy the rocks. Plus, the strange thing was that he bought rocks which were thought to be defective and sold for cheap. Also, he didn''t request for the stones to be extracted. Such actions were really hard to not get marked by people!
Hearing this, the bodyguard naturally understood what Zhou Hong was talking about.
On this piece ofnd, everyday was filled with countless muggings and murders. After all, men were greedy in nature and it wasn''t something which we could deny.
The fact that jade was something which could make people rich overnight, and each store in this jade marketce sold valuable jade, if a merchant bought jade from here without a deep background or enough security, he would definitely be the target of the underground forces.
Even if you had a significant background and manpower, if the value of the products was too high, where people couldn''t even imagine it, there would still be some who would take that risk.
Wu Hao, who was riding the trishaw out of the marketce, stopped at the roadside halfway through his journey. He bought a few sacks and inserted the rocks behind him into the sacks.
At that moment, at the roadside store, he bought several des for a grinding machine and a polishing machine. Together, they were inserted into an empty sack.
Leisurely, he travelled on the road, heading towards the outskirts of the city. However, due to the heavy load on the trishaw, the travel speed was extremely slow, like a climbing snail.
"Boss, our target has ridden the trishaw out of the city." Behind Wu Hao, a local Myanmarese person reported in his localnguage through the phone.
As for Wu Hao who was in front of him, he knew since a long time ago about the movements. But he also knew that he was still within the city. There were still quite a number of pedestrians on the streets.
Thus, even if these people wanted to make a move towards him, they wouldn''t choose a ce like this.
"Hehe, so many people have considered me as a big fish." Wu Hao secretlyughed as he leisurely rode the trishaw.
For these people who followed him and considered him as a big fish, Wu Hao naturally didn''t pay them any heed.
They were patiently waiting for Wu Hao to reach a deserted location by himself before acting. But Wu Hao had a different idea in mind!
Of course, Wu Hao''s principle was to avoid making any moves as much as possible. But if the foes insisted in sending themselves towards their deaths, then he could only help them to fulfill it.
This was because if these people dared to act against him, that also meant that these situations happened here quite often. Dealing with such scumbags, he naturally wouldn''t have any unwillful feelings.
Just like that, after riding for half an hour, Wu Hao finally reached a ce outside the city without many vehicles. Behind Wu Hao, the van that was obviously following him also began to do something new.
"Boss, lets make our move now. If not, he might be ambushed by the Shark gang in front. Faster, speed up and stop our target." Within the van, a man with a small head hung up and quickly instructed the driver.
"F*ck, this daddy can''t wait any longer. This brat was riding so slowly." The driver''s face was showing a dark expression as heined. In fact, tailing Wu Hao the whole way really tested his driving skills.
In fact, driving slower was proving to be harder than driving quickly.
"Finally, you''re going to make a move?" Wu Hao, who was in front, noticed that the van that was tailing him since a long time ago, and finally sped up towards him. That was a sign that they were about to make a move.
However, this was ording to his wishes. On the side of the road, there was a slope of a dozen meters. The bottom of the slope was filled with rocks. If this van was thrown towards the bottom at a speed exceeding 100 km/h, naturally the end result could be imagined.
And in this ce, there was only one small path ahead of them. As long as his trishaw endured the distance to enter the path, then its job would be done.
As a result, in the van which had six people in it, each of them were talking about the members of the local underground forces. When the van elerated to block the Wu Hao''s path....
Suddenly, the steering wheel of the van becamepletely uncontroble. Not only was it heading towards the slope, it even mysteriously increased its speed.
The men in the van didn''t even have enough time to scream. Their bones were ripped to pieces as the van rolled several times. Due to the leakage of the fuel tank, it created a beautiful sparkling explosion.
And during the explosion, Wu Hao directly increased his speed and quickly got onto the path. That sudden increase of speed was even faster than a sports cars eleration.
Entering the small path within a duration of several seconds, Wu Hao used his telekinesis to carry the sacks of rocks along and entered the nearby woods. After reaching the depths of the woods, only then did he settle down.
"There''s nobody within a one kilometer radius. Well, let me extract these rocks here then!" The little ident just now didn''t affect Wu Hao''s mind. After all, since these people were involved in such activities, they must always be prepared to face the consequences.
Soon, Wu Hao used his telekinesis to control the des and began the process of extracting jade.
There were at least one hundred pieces within these sacks. However, thergest was only about 40 cm in length. As for others, they were within the range of 10-20 cm.
The sellers originally considered these rocks as garbage and waste. Although the price was cheaper than normal rocks, they could still be sold for tens of thousands.
"En! Ice type, there are exactly forty-six pieces in total. Plus, their size is quite big. As for the emperor greens, there are three pieces here. As for the others, although they can''tpete with the ice type and the emperor greens, but adding them altogether, that is still quite the profit." After two hours, with Wu Hao''s careful attention, these one hundred or so rocks had been cut down into pieces.
After this was done, the next step was to find several potential buyers for the jades.
......
Chapter 48: Documentary: Primitive Exploration
Chapter 48: Documentary: Primitive Exploration
......
The following day, Wu Hao, through a variety of ways and disguises, exchanged these hundred some jades to several domesticpanies and Hong Kong buyers. Exchanging them for US dors, Wu Hao had long ago prepared an anonymous Swiss bank ount for this.
And these hundred plus pieces of jade had brought him a full 1.5 billion US dors. Such speed in making money was really god-like.
Investing in jade stones, in just one night, it brought the best oue for Wu Hao.
Of course, no one in this world would have such cheat ability like Wu Hao. In a sense, Wu Hao''s current ability was even more formidable than that childish x-ray vision.
Because what x-ray vision could do, Wu Hao could do the same thing too. And he could even see better! And what x-ray vision couldn''t see, his ability wouldn''t have such problems.
"With this 1.5 billion US dor, it should be about enough to buy the appropriate equipment and materials. And this investing in jade stones, doing it once is enough! If I were to continuously repeat this, it would only bring more trouble for me instead! Moreover, my documentary would bring me a nice ie too." Wu Hao was very clear about this trip of his in Myanmar. It was the same as gambling in casinos, such methods could only be utilized once.
Even if you were to repeat them many times, unwanted problems would definitely arise.
For example, this time Wu Hao only took action for the first time and several people had already marked him. If he was toe again, even with some disguises, he would still be marked.
This time, he met with someone who made their move secretly. Perhaps the next time he wouldn''t meet with such opponents. After all, in Southeast Asia, all kinds of dark forces and mercenary organisations infested the other side of thend.
Especially the mercenary organisation which offered services for money, you could get all sort of guys from there. Although Wu Hao''s current ability was formidable, he wasn''tpletely invincible.
Bombs and other simr weapons were still a threat to him. But if he were to face ordinary firearms, he could naturally and easily resist them.
With such money, Wu Hao''s next task was to purchase corresponding materials and equipment through a variety of channels. Also, he would have to look for a suitable location to establish a base.
For such a ce, first it must be a secret spot and be able to avoid all sorts of detections and satellites. For any location to meet such conditions, it is without a doubt amongst the vast mountains.
In the jungle within mountain ranges, with various human detection devices, the effects they brought were simply negligible.
This was because the mountains were full of maic fields. These natural maic fields were more than enough to render the world''s most advanced satellites and detection tools useless.
However, to build a base which met all the requirement to manufacture a flying device within the vast mountain, it was obviously not a simple matter.
First of all, in addition to the difficulties in building the base, after thepletion of the base, there was one factor which needed to be considered, a power supply.
This was the root of all problems in modern industries. Only by solving the energy supply problem would all operations would be able to proceed smoothly.
"En, I will have to explore around Qinling to find any suitable spots to build the base. If not, then I will look for it in the southern region, Shenlong or the Kunlun Mountains in the west."
Although Shenlong wasn''t as big as the mountain ranges of Qinling, its level of mystery and diversity of wild animals is not any less than Qinling. Instead, its mysteriousness is even one step higher than Qinling.
After all, Shenlong was located at the so-called mystical 30 northtitude. In this dimension line, there were countless magical event that urred here.
As for the peaks of Shenlong, most of them were at 1500 meters above sea level. The highest peak recorded was more than 3000 meters. Other than for concealment purposes, the other aspects also seemed to be good.
Of course, if Wu Hao decided to build a secret base in Shenlong, which was far from here, he definitely wouldn''t visit the highest peak.
As for the Kunlun Mountains in the west, although there was no beautiful scenery of green mountains and rivers, most of such region was upied by huge rocks.
However, to be named as China''s Ancestral Dragon Vein, that was clear enough to highlight its magnificence. Moreover, since ancient times, there were countless myths and legends about the Kunlun Mountains and were widely known as the ''Paradise of Immortals.'' (E/N: For those of you who don''t know Chinese mythology, Kunlun is like the boundary between the heavens and the earth, so it''s half like Avalon and half a gateway into the divine.)
The Kunlun Mountains belonged to teau region. The weather was very cold and always covered in snow. Lacking green nts as cover, it wasn''t an ideal ce to hide from detection. Therefore,pared to Qinling, the Kunlun Mountains were considered as a final option.
Just like that, after he finished dealing with the jades, that very night, Wu Hao flew to Qinling. Along the way, he did rest for a while. A few hourster, he began to head out again to travel across thousands of kilometers back to his wooden house.
After he left for two days, the takin that had been eaten to only the bones was left by the golden eagles. There were only some iplete parts with the fur intact like the head and legs which didn''t have much meat.
It is worth mentioning that the appetite of golden eagles were quite huge. In these two days, because of this huge prey, the two adult golden eagles didn''t go out and hunt. It could be considered as a rare two days break for them.
In the usual scenario, unless the weather was extremely bad because of pouring rain, the golden eagles would fly out of their territory everyday to hunt for prey.
After all, although they were at the top of the food chain, as an avian predator, the chances for miscalctions were still not small.
If they weren''t hard working enough, they might have to face the risk of hunger. If the bad weather continued for a long time, their physical strength would be greatly affected. Hence, the sess rate in hunting would be lower too.
"If I keep providing prey for this family of golden eagles, will they eventually be domesticated animals?" Wu Hao gave some thought to this. Although his idea seemed to be justified and made sense, it was still impossible to turn them into domesticated animals.
At most, he could only make them be familiar with him. Besides giving some simple orders, the nature of these birds as predators wouldn''t change.
That was unless they were kept in a cage. However, doing so would eventually cause their death not long afterwards due to being unable to adapt to such an environment.
Back at his wooden house, Wu Hao first uploaded the first episode of his documentary ''The Original Adventure'' to Youdou, a video site. (E/N: Think Youtube for China.)
Because today was Friday, this was the day when his n officiallyunched.
......
Chapter 49: Ordering Raw Materials [Part 2]
Chapter 49: Ordering Raw Materials [Part 2]
After releasing the first episode of the documentary series, Wu Hao began searching online and ordering various materials and tools he needed.
To establish a research and manufacturing base capable of producing aircraft from scratch in the remote mountains, there were numerous things required.
"First of all, the power supply system for the base will definitely have to be nuclear power. Currently, only the electricity generated by nuclear energy can meet our needs."
"However, the construction of nuclear power relies on raw materials that are tightly controlled by nuclear powers around the world. It might be a bit difficult to obtain the necessary materials and equipment for building a nuclear power nt. This issue requires careful nning." In fact, Wu Hao didn''t need arge-scale nuclear power nt to meet the power demands of the base. He only needed a small reactor simr to those found in nuclear submarines.
Even if it''s a small reactor, it still requires nuclear materials! Trading such materials is typically done between nations, and even if you have all the money in the world, ordinary individuals cannot purchase them.
Therefore, it''s impossible for Wu Hao to obtain sufficient nuclear materials through conventional channels.
In fact, it''s not just nuclear materials; many of the materials Wu Hao needs cannot be purchased through regr means.
For example, some advanced equipment is simply unavable in the current Huaxia (China), and Western countries prohibit selling such equipment to Huaxia.
Even if it were possible to purchase through regr channels, the prices would be exorbitant. Despite Wu Hao having $1.5 billion in funds, it would quickly be depleted when buying these devices.
Consider that even the most advanced high-techboratories in the world require investments of tens or even hundreds of billions of dors to establish.
Therefore, the funds required to engage in high-tech endeavors are essentially bottomless pits.
However, Wu Hao has no intention of directly purchasing finished products of various devices. He will only acquire various raw materials andponents from around the world.
By acquiring raw materials andponents instead of finished products, both the cost and the risk of being discovered are significantly reduced. Moreover, the most crucial aspect is that the so-called advanced equipment currently avable in the world cannot meet Wu Hao''s requirements.
For example, if Wu Hao wants to develop and manufacture a new type ofposite material as the main body of the entire aircraft, he must have arge-scale 3D printing device. Only through integral molding can the structural requirements of the aircraft, as envisioned by Wu Hao, be met.
However, existingrge-scale 3D printing devices in the world cannot meet Wu Hao''s specific needs. While current 3D printing devices are capable of directly printing various metals and materials, including even printing entire buildings, the corresponding technology is still imperfect and the size is excessivelyrge. Wu Hao''s goal is to design apletely new 3D printing device ording to his own requirements, one that can meet the printing needs of various materials.
In addition to manufacturing equipment, the base must also have a supeputer that serves as the core for various calctions and processing, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire base.
Although Wu Hao''s brainputing power already rivals the world''s most advanced processing speeds, it''s not feasible for him to personally handle all the operations of the entire base. Therefore, having a supeputer is an absolute necessity.
Currently, the fastest supeputer in the world, Tianhe-2, achieves a processing speed of 549 million calctions per second, but its size is excessivelyrge.
Wu Hao''s base doesn''t have much space to amodate such a massive machine. Therefore, Wu Hao needs to figure out how to reduce the size of a supeputer using materials and electronicponents that are currently avable for purchase.
However, Wu Hao doesn''t have an immediate need to create a supeputerparable to Tianhe-2 because the existing supeputing capabilities in Huaxia (China) are not fully utilized by the researchmunity.
Therefore, Wu Hao only needs to manufacture a supeputer that can meet the basicputing needs of the base.
If there is a need for intensiveputations, Wu Hao can rely on his own brain''s supeputing abilities to fulfill the requirements of various data processing tasks.
In fact, several scientists in history have been able to simte various data processing and experiments using their own brains. For example, the renowned scientist Te in the early 19th century was able to propose technologies like "particle beams" in a rudimentary research environment of that time, which even today humanity has not been able to achieve. This demonstrates that Te''s brain possessedputational abilities beyond the imagination of ordinary individuals.
Actually, Nik Te, the entric scientist, achieved almost all of his inventions throughout his life by conducting various calctions in his mind to reach the final results.
However, the technological foundation at that time was vastly different from the modern era, and various factors prevented Te from realizing many of his advanced technological ideas and concepts.
In fact, scientists from various countries are still researching technological projects that Te had already explored several decades ago. After Te''s death, the US government at that time treated all the materials he left behind as national treasures. However, Te didn''t document many of his research findings in writing, and much of his advanced technology existed solely in his mind.
As it ismonly known, the average person utilizes only around 5% of their brain capacity, and even the brain development and utilization of exceptional geniuses and scientists are typically within 10%.
Perhaps in rare cases throughout history, individuals like Te, who were considered anomalies in the scientificmunity, might have reached brain utilization rates of up to 20% at most.
Furthermore, due to individual differences in brain structure, these exceptional cases only allowed them to possess extraordinary memory or significantly enhanced learning and analytical abilitiespared to the average person. However, they did not exhibit the same abilities as Wu Hao does now.
It''s important to note that Wu Hao initially gained his extraordinary telekic and psychic abilities because of an idental trigger in a mysterious area of his brain. Initially, he only had slightly improved memory and learning abilities, making him somewhat better than an average person and could be considered a "genius" of sorts.
However, after merging with the energy contained in the mysterious stone, his brain''s development fully erupted. This not only significantly enhanced his telekic and psychic abilities but also granted him the monstrously powerful brainputing capacity he possesses now. It can be said without exaggeration that with Wu Hao''s current brain capacity forputation, analysis, and storage, he could learn all the existing knowledge of humanity within a matter of days.
Chapter 50: Complex Operation Methods
Chapter 50: Complex Operation Methods
For example, in these past few days, Wu Hao has already mastered several of the most advanced research technologies currently avable to humans. However, topletely master them all and even create improvements, he still needs some time.
After all, Wu Hao cannot be constantly engaged in calctions 24 hours a day! That would only lead to severe overloading and potential damage to his brain.
Moreover, such high-intensity calctions also consume a tremendous amount of energy. Wu Hao''s appetite has already increased several timespared to an average person''s, making him like a super eater.
Over the next two days, Wu Hao ced numerous orders for electronicponents and raw materials from technologically advanced countries in Europe and America through methods such as online remittances and transfers.
These electronicponents and raw materials include those for building nuclear power facilities, supeputers, 3D printing devices, and a series of other instruments.
Although none of these items are finished products, some of the raw materials are considered controlled resources by each country. Therefore, in order to smoothly import these purchased items into the country, Wu Hao had to put in a lot of effort. Each batch of raw materials and electronicponents went through the process of falsifying addresses and information and then passing through multiple countries for transit before finally being delivered to the designated location in China.
During this series of processes, Wu Hao had to monitor the transportation routes of these materials the entire time. For example, when these items underwent customs inspections in each country, Wu Hao had to control the inspection equipment of the customs through satelliteworks to ensure the safe entry of these materials.
After undergoing transportation and arriving in another country, repeating this process several times until they finally reached China, the total time required was at least around one month.
However, although this approach was troublesome, it effectively avoided being traced.
In other words, even though the items purchased by Wu Hao were high-precisionponents, once they arrived in China, they would be treated as "ordinary" electronic devices upon entry.
However, although Wu Hao had already solved 90% of the electronicponents and raw materials through online orders, materials such as uranium, which are used for nuclear power production and are radioactive substances, could not be obtained through online channels.
After all, such things couldn''t be bought with just money.
"Since I can''t buy it, I''ll have to think of another way!" Considering that obtaining this special material like uranium was not possible through regr purchase channels, Wu Hao had to resort to unconventional means to establish an energy system for his future base.
"Well! I don''t need to worry about the nuclear material issue for now. I can get the materials once the base is built and the reactor is manufactured."
"The immediate task now is to find a suitable location to build the base." After ordering all the electronicponents and corresponding raw materials, Wu Hao finally had time to search for a location to construct the base.
In these past few days, Wu Hao has been busy with various matters, so he didn''t bring the golden eagle chick back to the cabin initially. He only brought a prey for the golden eagle family each day on his way.
Snow had started falling in the area where he was, making hunting more challenging for the golden eagles.
Without Wu Hao''s help, the two golden eagles would barely be able to sustain therger-sized chick, and the fate of the smaller-sized chick would have already ended.
However, after being separately nurtured by Wu Hao, the smaller-sized chick has caught up in size with the other one.
With the prey that Wu Hao brings to the golden eagle family every day, they have an ample food supply, so there is no unequal distribution of food between the two chicks.
The two golden eagle chicks have grown significantly now and, except for their wing feathers not being fully developed, they are capable of leaving the nest and moving along the cliff.
Meanwhile, Wu Hao released the first episode of the documentary on Youdou (a video-sharing tform), which has been gaining poprity in the past two days. There have even been numerous emails left for Wu Hao by domestic and foreign media through the email address shown in the initial trailer.
The content of these emails naturally revolves around purchasing the broadcasting rights of the documentary. Besides China Central Television (CCTV), many provincial TV stations in China have expressed their interest in acquiring the rights.
As for international media, emails were sent by several major yers dominating the field of wilderness exploration documentaries, such as the BBC.
In addition to these, there was an invitation email from a national cybersecurity team sent to him earlier. However, Wu Hao hasn''t even checked that email during this period, so he ispletely unaware of its existence.
...
In an office within the Big Underpants Building in Beijing, the person in charge of the Science and Education Exploration Channel asked his subordinate, "Did they reply?"
"No!" The subordinate shook his head. "They haven''t responded to our email, and the provincial TV stations that were interested in purchasing the rights haven''t received any replies either."
"Keep a close eye on it! Remember to inform me immediately if there''s any news. We must obtain the exclusive broadcasting rights for this documentary series on our TV station."
Such situations were not limited to major cities in China alone. The person in charge of BBC, the most professional media organization in producingrge-scale wilderness documentaries, was also closely monitoring the situation.
The level of the documentary filmed by Wu Hao was unprecedentedly high, far surpassing the wildlife documentaries they had produced before, by many times.
You see, capturing footage of these ferocious beasts in the heart of the jungle is by no means an easy task. It poses great challenges and life-threatening dangers for the photographers and other personnel involved.
Sometimes, even spending a month or longer in the jungle may not result in finding these wild beasts, let alone tracking and filming themprehensively.
For documentaries featuringrge-scale wildlife, it often takes a year or even several years to eventually obtain the desired shots and footage.
If it weren''t for such difficulties, China would not have ack of homegrown documentaries of this kind. However, currently, most of the documentaries broadcasted on major Chinese TV stations are imported from foreign countries.
After all, China stillcks individuals with a spirit of wilderness adventure, and it''s only in recent years that a few capable individuals have emerged to take on such adventurous work.
For example, there''s the 270 team from the show "Traveling Buddies." This man is undoubtedly an idol in the hearts of adventure enthusiasts in China.
However, his adventures are not in the primal jungles but rather in challenging dangerous areas around the world. Currently, within China, there is only one team like this.
Chapter 51: The Ambitious Endeavor of Breaking Ground and Splitting Rocks
Chapter 51: The Ambitious Endeavor of Breaking Ground and Splitting Rocks
Adventure, although requiring courage and bravery from adventurers themselves, also demands various specialized knowledge. Otherwise, you''re not embarking on an adventure but heading towards certain death.
For instance, imagine seeing a group of people sailing around the entire Pacific Ocean on a sailboat, and you want to do the same. However, if youck the ability to operate and repair various boat machinery, what will you do if the boat encounters problems?
Moreover, you must stay updated on weather and meteorological information at all times. In essence, if you wish to pursue adventurous endeavors, you must develop yourself into a versatile and capable individual.
You need to acquire a range of skills in different areas; otherwise, surviving in remote or perilous locations will be impossible.
However, for Wu Hao, all these conditions and factors present no difficulty. After all, he possesses telekinesis and mental perception, two extraordinary abilities!
Regardless of his destination, he can ensure his personal safety remains unthreatened.
After spending approximately half a day, Wu Hao used his meticulous mental perception to carefully explore and analyze. Fortunately, he discovered a location in the Qinling Mountains that was highly suitable for constructing a secret base.
This spot is merely 10 kilometers away from his cabin and is nestled among a cluster of mountains with heights of around 1500 meters. The chosen location for his base is on a semi-mountainous slope in one of these peaks.
The slope of this mountainous area is about 50 meters deep and 20 meters wide, enveloped by dense vegetation. Only a section of the slope''s cliff face is bare, while the remaining areas are sparsely covered in vegetation.
Unless one approaches the mountain from close proximity, it is challenging to notice this particr slope due to the surrounding mountain range obstructing the view.
Approximately 1 kilometer away lies a smallke with a modest surface area but considerable depth. A small stream flows from beneath the slope, converging into thiske.
Wu Hao opted to construct his base on this mountain because his careful investigation revealed its exceptional solidity. The entire mountain consists of a hard rock formation.
Treating this mountain as a quarry would yield copious amounts of crushed stone for construction purposes, as approximately 80% of the mountainexcluding the surfaceyerisposed of this resilient stone material.
The adjacent mountains share a simr structure, allowing Wu Hao to use this mountain as a foundation. By excavating a substantial internal space, there is no need to concern himself with reinforcing the mountain''s inner area.
As long as the mountain''splete excavation is avoided, the risk of copse is mitigated.
This approach solves numerous logistical challenges. For instance, there is no requirement for reinforcing the mountain''s interior with steel and cement. Concerns regarding water flow within the mountain are also alleviated. By implementing proper venttion and moisture control measures, the entire mountain space bes readily usable.
"Yes! This is the spot. Establishing the base in the Qinling Mountains ensures both secrecy and proximity to my hometownonly 150 kilometers away." Although certain secret military bases are also located within mountains across the country, they are exceptions and are typically situated near major transportation routes.
Constructing arge-scale military research base deep within the mountains without ess to roads is clearly unfeasible.
While Wu Hao possesses telekinesis as a reliable support, his base will not be excessivelyrge. Nevertheless, considerable time and effort will be necessary for its construction.
"Now that the base location is chosen, the next step is to procure the necessary tools for excavating the mountain''s interior space." Although the mountain does not require reinforcement following excavation, another challenge arises: excavating a sufficientlyrge internal space from such solid rock is no simple task.
The tools Wu Hao needs to purchase are not numerous, but they are hefty iron objects.
First and foremost, he must acquire a generator and an ample supply of fuel. Additionally, he requires welding machines, argon arc welding machines, various sizes of drill bits,rge saw des for cutting stone, and a welding machine specifically designed for attaching teeth to the saw des. He also needs other small tools.
After all, with such arge amount of work, if the teeth of the saw de used for excavating the mountain be worn out, it will be unusable. Moreover, the saw de itself is quite heavy, so it is crucial to buy extra teeth and welding equipment.
With these diamond teeth and welding equipment, he can directly weld a more efficient drill bit and cutting saw de.
These items can be purchased in Chang''an City, which is 100 kilometers away. However, the weight of the purchased items is considerable, so Wu Hao needs to make several trips to bring all these things into the vast mountains.
In this way, Wu Hao spent the entire day in Chang''an City toplete the procurement of these tools. In order to facilitate transportation, he also bought a warehouse and a used truck on the outskirts.
By the time it was evening, Wu Hao made a total of five round trips to bring all these items to a ce beneath the cliff, where they could be protected from rainwater.
The most significant purchase this time was undoubtedly the fuel for the generator. Until his nuclear power facility is built, this diesel generator will be his only source of electricity for work.
Although the generator generates a lot of noise when it operates, who would be able to hear it deep in the remote mountains?
"Alright, now that the tools are ready, it''s time to start working officially." Wu Hao knew that he would have to repeat the same work for the next few days.
Soon, Wu Hao arrived at the mountain hollow with the corresponding tools, ready to begin his monumental task of excavating and splitting the mountain.
Once inside the hollow, after confirming the location, Wu Hao used his telekinesis to manipte a saw de with a diameter of over one meter, embedded with densely arranged diamond "teeth" on the edges.
Then, with a sudden burst of telekic force, the saw de started spinning rapidly as it made contact with the rocky walls of the mountain. At the same time, a small stream of water flowed from an outlet of a water bag ced nearby, directly towards the point where the saw de and the rocks met.
Immediately, arge amount of dust started to fill the area around the saw de, but after drifting to a certain range, it stopped spreading further.
That''s because Wu Hao used his telekinesis to contain the dispersed dust within a designated area, and the water was poured to not only reduce the amount of dust but also cool down the saw de.
After all, during the process of cutting the rocks, not only would a significant amount of dust be generated, but the temperature of the saw de''s teeth would also rise rapidly.
If not continuously cooled with water, the saw de would bepletely unusable in no time. Additionally, cutting with water added would also increase the cutting speed.
Chapter 52: Tedious and Monotonous Work
Chapter 52: Tedious and Monotonous Work
And Wu Hao used telekinesis to prevent the spread of dust, firstly to avoid getting himself covered in dust and secondly to avoid impacting the surrounding natural environment.
After all, in the vicinity of all the quarries, whether on the ground or on the surrounding nt structures, ayer of dusty powder would cover everything.
This situation has a significant impact on both the air and the surrounding nts. Now, Wu Hao only needs to use telekinesis to block the scattered dust within a certain range. Once the concentration increases, he can use telekinesis to control a watering can and sprinkle some water.
The water bag that Wu Hao uses to carry water is actually a thick rubber bag. Although the amount of water in each bag is not much, he has prepared several bags that he can switch between continuously.
Moreover, there is a small stream not far from the foot of the mountain. Although it is snowing in the mountains now, the stream has not frozen.
Furthermore, even if the flowing water in the stream freezes, Wu Hao can easily fetch water from theke 1 kilometer away. The deepest part of thiske is about 40 meters, and even if the surface freezes, it won''t affect Wu Hao''s water collection.
In this way, after about an hour, Wu Hao dug out a cave with a width of 3 meters, height of 2 meters, and depth of 5 meters.
Since the size of the aircraft in Wu Hao''s mind is not huge, this tunnel with its width and height canpletely amodate his future aircraft.
The equipment and materials he purchased will naturally have no obstacles entering the cave because the materials he purchased are notrge in volume, mainly consisting of small and precise electronicponents.
Speaking of thergest items, there is no doubt that they are the materials with fixed sizes.
As for the broken stones that Wu Hao excavated, he disposed of all of them in theke. There is no other ce nearby to store these broken stones, but since theke is deep enough and its area is not too small, amodating the broken stones from Wu Hao''s base will not have any significant impact. At most, the water level will rise and spread a bit in the vicinity.
ording to Wu Hao''s preliminary n, his base needs to have a total area of at least 3000 square meters to meet his requirements. As for the height, it should average at least 6 meters or more.
The nuclear power facilities among them must be built separately inside the mountain because various radiation protection measures need to be implemented here.
Therefore, ording to Wu Hao''s n, he needs to construct four spaces of different sizes: one for nuclear power facilities, one as a warehouse for storing various materials, anotherrger one as aprehensive area for research and manufacturing, and the smallest one as the living area.
This area is also the smallest, only a few tens of square meters, equivalent to a small suite!
Anyway, Wu Hao doesn''t n to bring anyone into this base now, so having a small suite for living is sufficient.
"It really is a mentally exhausting and tedious job." After three consecutive hours of splitting stones and clearing the mountains, Wu Hao''s telekic power was almost depleted.
During the continuous three hours of work, he managed to dig a tunnel about 15 meters deep.
Apart from a few gaps and indentations, the surfaces of this tunnel were smooth and even. It''s worth noting that everything Wu Hao manipted was aplished using telekinesis, which was much more precise than any mechanical operation currently avable to humans.
The gaps and indentations were mainly caused by the small fissures and slight irregrities between the rocks in the mountain itself.
After all, in such arge mountainposed of solid rocks, it is normal to have some gaps and indentations.
In three hours of work, Wu Hao only managed to excavate 90 cubic meters of the mountain tunnel, while the total area of the entire base should be over 3000 square meters.
This area is roughly the size of half a standard football field. Considering an area of 3000 square meters plus a height of 6 meters, Wu Hao needs to excavate approximately 18,000 cubic meters of space in this mountain.
At his current speed of 30 cubic meters per hour, it would take him 600 hours, even if he worked continuously for 24 hours a day. That means it would take him about 25 days toplete the excavation entirely.
Of course, Wu Hao definitely cannot work continuously for 24 hours, and even machines cannot sustain such intensity of work.
However, Wu Hao''s current slow speed is due to the excavation of this narrow tunnel. The small size of the tunnel requires more time and reduces efficiency.
Once he officially enters the interior of the mountain and starts excavating therger space, the excavation speed will undoubtedly increase significantly. With arger volume, he can reduce many cutting procedures and then use telekinesis to transport the rock fragments, which are divided into several-ton pieces, out of the tunnel.
This way, the work efficiency should double.
However, excluding the time for daily rest and other necessary tasks, Wu Hao can only work for a maximum of about ten hours per day.
In other words, it would take approximately one month toplete the entire base.
Actually, Wu Hao''s speed is already quite fast. If this task were assigned to any construction team in any country, it would be impossible to achieve such speed and quality.
Time flies, and it''s another day for Wu Hao to release his documentary.
"Let''s see how people are reacting online!" Apart from eating, drinking, resting, and recovering for a few hours, Wu Hao has spent the rest of his time on these tedious and monotonous tasks of clearing the mountains and splitting stones.
He hasn''t been online or paid attention to the situation of the documentary. He hasn''t had time to check the emails piling up in his inbox.
Soon, Wu Hao opened Youdou Video and started watching his own documentary, scrolling down to read thements.
21stment: "From the filming environment in this footage, I can confidently tell everyone that this South China tiger is from somewhere in the Qinling Mountains."
22ndment: "Is the person above an expert in geographical environments? Can you really tell the location just by looking at the trees and vegetation in the footage?"
577thment: "Ah! Ah! Ah! I really want to go to the Qinling Mountains to see these adorable tigers. What should I do...?"
578thment: "The person above can go home and dream about it slowly at night..."
Reading thements below the video, Wu Haoughed. "I didn''t expect people to deduce the general area just from the simple geographical features of the mountainous environment. However, although they can guess that the South China tiger is from the Qinling Mountains, no one will know the specific location."
When Wu Hao filmed these animal videos, he only captured some footage of the forest from a high vantage point and didn''t conduct extensive aerial surveys.
By observing the vegetation and forest environment in the footage, the general geographical location could be determined, but it would require people with knowledge of geological environments and familiarity with various nts to achieve that.
Chapter 53: Copyright Distribution
Chapter 53: Copyright Distribution
After roughly skimming through, Wu Hao realized that after the release of the first episode of his documentary series, it had already be widely known among the majority of inte users in the country. Its influence was undeniably strong.
Even the influence of therge-scale documentary "A Taste of XX" that CCTVunched in previous years paled inparison to this episode on the South China Tiger.
After all, this was a filming style that people had never seen before. Currently, not only was the video avable for yback on Youdou Video, but it was also prominently featured and rmended on other major video websites.
If it were to be broadcasted on television, the coverage would be even greater.
"It seems that I can adopt a pay-per-view model now!" In fact, Youdou Video had long offered various forms of paid programs, with viewing fees that were not high. Some videos could even be watched for free if one had a membership.
Wu Hao''s documentary series, being arge-scale production, already had nearly 20 episodespleted. He believed that by selling the broadcasting rights for these 20 episodes, it would certainly bring him a decent ie.
Furthermore, he could also cooperate with television stations and divide the earnings based on viewership ratings.
With this in mind, Wu Hao quickly opened his specially registered email ount. After reading all the emails, he immediately understood.
"So many television stations have already sent me emails in the past few days! However, if I reply now, I can definitely negotiate better prices."
"However, as for the invitation from the National Cybersecurity Group... forget it, I don''t have the time to join any organization." Wu Hao casually smiled and ignored the invitation from the cybersecurity group.
Instead, he started replying to emails from CCTV, BBC, and Youdou Video, informing them of his preferred cooperation methods and attaching a contract deration. He also exined how they should make payments to him based on the video''s revenue, and so on.
Naturally, Wu Hao couldn''t sign any formal contracts with them for this documentary. After all, he wouldn''t meet with them in person. So, this contract was more of a formality.
As long as he didn''t hand over the videos to other simr operational organizations, as long as these two television media and online media imed that they had purchased the broadcasting rights, other reputable media organizations couldn''t y them without permission.
These three media organizations included China''s CCTV, an internationally influential documentary media institution, and thergest domestic online video tform.
The country had already enacted relevantws and regtions, so other media outlets couldn''t broadcast the videos without proper licensing.
As for whether some small pirated websites would pirate and y the videos, Wu Hao wouldn''t bother. After all, piracy was a normal urrence in China. As long as a portion of the audience supported the legitimate version, it was enough. Given the current situation in China, it was impossible to change it in a short period.
Wu Hao was also very detailed in the contract. He allowed them to resell the secondary copyrights, but regardless of the operation, he would still collect the corresponding share of the revenue.
After sending the emails, Wu Hao opened his ount on Youdou Video and found that the website''s editors had already sent him messages internally, with content simr to the emails.
Since he had already replied to the emails, he didn''t pay attention to the messages.
Following that, Wu Hao opened hisputer and released the second episode of the documentary, then checked the progress of the goods he had ordered.
These goods were transported by an international logisticspany, so Wu Hao could track them at each transit station.
He even directly infiltrated the local traffic surveince videos of these goods, but with Wu Hao''s current hacking skills, those people would never detect any anomalies.
After all, Wu Hao wasn''t infiltrating their national militaryworks. It was impossible for the general trafficwork''s firewalls to detect his infiltration.
Perhaps only if Wu Hao were to breach the most confidential militarywork systems in countries like the United States would he be discovered. However, Wu Hao wasn''t idle, and he had no intention of infiltrating such ces.
-------------------------------
In a certain office in Beijing, the Deputy Director convened a discussion with several key personnel after reviewing the contract that Wu Hao had provided them.
"Tell me, should we agree to the conditions proposed by the other party?"
"Director, I think we can agree to their profit-sharing request. However, the challenge lies in the fact that the other party doesn''t intend to sign a formal contract face-to-face, which could be difficult to handle..."
"It''s indeed difficult to justify to our superiors without a proper contract." The Director agreed wholeheartedly, as this issue was currently troubling them.
After all, CCTV was not just any ordinary television media. It was directly regted by the highest authorities. If it were any other media, there wouldn''t be much problem with the cooperative approach proposed by Wu Hao.
"Director, it''s actually quite normal for the other party to make such a request. After all, they haven''t specified which organization or entity they belong to. It''s understandable for them to adopt this approach. I think we should directly exin this situation to our superiors."
Hearing this, the Deputy Director in the higher position found it reasonable. Instead of discussing it here, it would be better to report it directly to the superiors.
On the other hand, dealing with Youdou Video was much simpler. They didn''t propose any counteroffers to Wu Hao''s conditions. The Vice President of Youdou Video directly instructed the editors below to reply to Wu Hao''s email.
In the UK, the responsible person at the BBC, in charge of documentary productions, was also deliberating after receiving Wu Hao''s reply.
"Gentlemen, I believe that while we agree to the cooperative approach proposed by the other party, we should also inquire about their filming methods. The team behind this documentary is undoubtedly the world''s top-notch wildlife filming team."
"Thomas, Ipletely agree with your viewpoint. However, I doubt that the other party will disclose such information. But one thing is certain, they possess world-ss hacking skills."
In fact, during this period, many skilled hackers from around the world had conducted a series of tracing and investigations on Wu Hao''s ount and email. However, they didn''t obtain the results they desired.
This was because Wu Hao''s ount and email address on Youdou Video showed no distinctive features. Moreover, every time Wu Hao logged in, he did so in a way that wentpletely unnoticed by them.
Chapter 54: Completion of the Base
Chapter 54: Completion of the Base
After Wu Hao finished uploading the video and sending the emails, they only noticed the activity in the ount, but by that time Wu Hao had already logged off.
These hackers were as powerless as a punch thrown at cotton.
However, Wu Hao was well aware of those who wanted to track him, but he didn''t have the time to y hide-and-seek with them.
As long as these people didn''t cause him any trouble, he couldn''t be bothered with them.
After all, he had more important things to deal with at the moment. Who has the leisure for this?
After handling the documentary, Wu Hao had a brief chat with his sister and Li Xiaoyun.
Both of them asked when he nned to return to their province, and Wu Hao had toe up with an excuse, saying that he still had some work to do outside and probably wouldn''t be able to return until New Year''s Day.
Actually, if Wu Hao wanted to, he could immediately return home. However, everything was fine at home, and his sister was studying at school.
As for Li Xiaoyun, she had been subtly expressing her desire to repay him with her body, but Wu Hao pretended not to understand. He felt awkward about such a form of repayment, so he decided to put Li Xiaoyun''s matter aside for now.
If he developed feelings for Li Xiaoyun in the future, everything would naturally fall into ce.
In the following two weeks, apart from officially authorizing the documentary to CCTV, Youdou Video Network, and the foreign media BBC, Wu Hao spent most of his time excavating the mountain, with only asional breaks to contact his family.
After nearly 20 days of work, the internal space of the entire mountain was almostpleted. Now, he just needed to spend a few days making some adjustments to the internal space of the base, and then it would be a great aplishment.
"The main structure is finallypleted, and the first batch of purchased goods has arrived. I''ll go and bring back these materials tonight! Anyway, the warehouse in the base is ready, so temporarily storing the goods won''t be a problem."
The base constructed by Wu Hao was located in the middle part of the entire mountain, with the entrance hidden in a recess of the mountain.
The entrance led to various stone chambers inside the mountain, forming a 3-meter wide and 30-meter deep passage. At the right side of the passage, 30 meters in, was the warehouse where various materials and substances were stored. The warehouse covered an area of nearly 500 square meters, with a curved arch-shaped roof, resembling a tunnel.
At the other end of the warehouse, there were two 3-meter wide passages and stone doors. One of these passages led to the research and manufacturing area on the left, while the other, deeper passage led to the area of the nuclear power energy facility.
In thergest research area, there was also a 20-meter-long passage, ensuring that the research and manufacturing area could ess all the other areas.
Thergest research and manufacturing area had a semi-circr arch shape, with the lowest part of the edges exceeding 3 meters and the highest part in the middle exceeding 8 meters.
As for the smallest living area, it was located on the left side corresponding to the position of the passage and the warehouse. The internal space was simr to the warehouse, just much smaller.
Apart from the main areas, Wu Hao has also specifically opened up venttion and drainage channels in each region.
Currently, both the venttion channels and drainage channels are just simple stone caves. After Wu Hao carefully organizes the various areas inside the base, these channels will need to be equipped with corresponding pipelines and instion materials.
It''s not just the venttion channels; the entire interior space of the base, including the floors and the tops of the walls, must be coated with thick waterproof and moisture-proof instion paint. Only in this way can the normal operation of the entire base be ensured.
Among them, the nuclear power area is particrly important. Not only does it require handling these issues, but it also needs to ensure that the cooling devices and anti-radiationyers are foolproof.
These basic tasks will take at least several days toplete. After the various areas inside the base are properly arranged, Wu Hao can then use the purchased power generation equipment to start manufacturing corresponding energy and production devices.
That evening, Wu Hao once again arrived at his secluded warehouse located on the outskirts of Chang''an City. Opening the warehouse door, he drove his second-hand truck to the logisticspany to retrieve the first batch of materials he had spent a great deal of effort to bring back to the country.
These materials were sealed in specific boxes andbeled with false tags that read "ordinary industrial electronicponents."
Upon arriving at the logisticspany, Wu Hao presented the corresponding logistics number and relevant information. With the help of a forklift, he smoothly loaded the shipment weighing over 10 tons into the truck''s cargo container.
"Looks like I''ll be busy tonight again!" In order to safely transport this batch of over 10 tons of goods back to the base, Wu Hao would need to make at least three round trips. After all, transporting too much at once would seriously affect his speed and efficiency.
After several hours of bustling activity, Wu Hao temporarily stored these supplies in the base''s warehouse. Although the interior of the base had not undergone any moisture-proof treatment yet, there was no noticeable humidity in the entire space.
Moreover, since the base was located dozens of meters deep within the mountain, the temperature inside waspletely different from the outside world. While the outside temperature ranged from -3C to -5C, the base''s interior maintained a temperature of around 15 to 20C. Therefore, it was safest to store these raw materials and electronicponents in the base''s warehouse.
As for the entrance of the passages outside the base and the stone doors in each area, Wu Hao had carefully modified them. Each stone door weighed no more than 10 tons, allowing Wu Hao to easily open and close them using telekinesis.
In a way, this was somewhat simr to certain ancient mechanisms, but for now, the stone doors designed by Wu Hao only had corresponding grooves andcked any driving devices. Opening and closing them still required him to use telekinesis.
However, once the energy issue of the base was resolved in the future, Wu Hao would rece all these stone doors and make them into automated alloy gates.
Of course, the exterior of the entrance to the base''s passages would undoubtedly be disguised with stone materials, allowing the stone doors to blend in with the surrounding mountains when closed.
Over the next few days, Wu Hao first carefully improved and polished the interior space of the base. He then went back to the city to purchase arge quantity of coating materials and appliedyer afteryer of paint to every area inside the base.
He continued until he reached the level of a highly advanced dust-free and sterile factory in the country. The coating material used by Wu Hao was abination of some paints and chemicals that he had reconfigured from those currently avable on the market.
This self-configured paint by Wu Hao had better effectspared to the paints currently avable for purchase.
Chapter 55: Making Money with Documentaries
Chapter 55: Making Money with Documentaries
Although Wu Hao could have produced better coating materials, it would require apletely new processing method.
However, at the current level of the base, it already meets his requirements. Because in the future, a separate newboratory will be built specifically for research and manufacturing.
After days of continuous busyness, Wu Hao also nned to take a few days off. Additionally, since New Year''s Day is approaching in a day, he also nned to return home.
That evening, Wu Hao went to a logisticspany in the city again and received the second batch of materials and various electronicponents that had been transferred multiple times from abroad, using the same method asst time.
This time, the goods also exceeded 10 tons. Not only were they heavy, but the price of the entire batch was also considerable.
For example, the total price of Wu Hao''s previous batch of goods amounted to 300 million US dors, and this time it was slightly lower. In addition to these two batches, the total price of the remaining batches is also around 800 million US dors.
In other words, Wu Hao has spent a total of about 1.4 billion US dors on purchasing these materials. The money he earned from selling jade is almost depleted. Additionally, during this period, he also spent tens of millions of dors purchasing goods domestically. Now the total bnce in his ount is only a few tens of millions of US dors.
Most of these batches consist of raw materials, and electronicponents make up only a small portion. These raw materials are mainly used for various elements in 3D printing equipment.
In the future, whether Wu Hao is researching newposite materials or other things, he cannot do without these highly purified raw materials.
Of course, once the base is operational in the future, the purchased raw materials will definitely not be enough. However, the raw materials with higher consumption can be purchased domestically.
The things he collected from abroad and transported back to the country through various channels are prohibited items to be exported to China. Although some of these things are also avable in certain military-industrial enterprises in China.
But Wu Hao had no chance of obtaining these things from the country''s military units through normal channels. As for the abnormal channels, he didn''t want to do anything detrimental to the country, so he could only go to Europe and the United States, where industrial and technological development is advanced, to sweep through.
After all,pared with some domestic enterprises, these countries are far ahead in certain research and material purification aspects, whether it''s in terms of technology or production capacity.
Wu Hao is not intentionally belittling domestic enterprises. It''s just an indisputable fact. After all, China is ater, and in the past few decades, European and American countries have banned the export of high-precision scientific and technological equipment to China. Therefore, China still needs to work overtime and make efforts in certain areas to catch up with these European and American countries.
For example, even if Wu Hao can research various cutting-edge technologies ahead of the world, without sufficient basic industries as support, it would be impossible to achieve everything.
After delivering the second batch of goods to the warehouse in the base, it was already early in the morning, and Wu Hao only rested for one or two hours. Taking advantage of the opportunity before dawn, he flew towards the small town where he had parked his car.
Arriving at a dense forest outside the small town, Wu Hao walked towards the hotel where he had parked his car. At this time, it was only 6 o''clock, and the sky was still pitch ck.
Wu Hao entered the hotel and spoke to thedy sitting at the cashier''s counter. "Boss, I''m here to pick up the car. Here''s the money for you. Consider it as payment for taking care of it these past few days!" He also took out about twenty red bills and ced them on the counter.
Although he had already paid the fee for showing the car to the hotel staff before, he had left his car parked here for almost two months. He noticed that his white G500 was still as clean and tidy as when he left it. Wu Hao naturally knew that it was the hotel staff who had taken care of it.
Since they had cleaned his car so well, Wu Hao thought it was only right to give them some extra money! Besides, he wasn''t short of a little cash right now.
The hotel staff recognized Wu Hao as soon as they saw him, the generous benefactor. They happily epted the money he gave them and warmly escorted him out of the gate.
After seeing Wu Hao drive away, the hotel staff couldn''t stop smiling. "Hehe! This person is really generous. Just by looking at the car, I earned over 3,000 yuan. That''s much better than what the hotel makes."
No wonder the hotel staff was so happy. During the time Wu Hao had left his car parked at their hotel, it had attracted many customers. After all, Wu Hao''s car had an imposing appearance, and it was the most expensive car seen in their small town, worth several hundred thousand yuan. Luxury cars worth millions of yuan had never appeared there.
It''s easy to imagine that Wu Hao''s car had caught the attention of most people in the town during this time. Many people even came to take photos with it. However, the hotel staff was always present whenever someone wanted to take a photo.
After leaving the small town, Wu Hao drove directly towards Sanyuan City. Since tomorrow was New Year''s Day and schools were already on holiday, Wu Hao had promised his younger sister that he would pick her up from school today.
He arrived in Sanyuan City in the morning, still a few hours before his sister''s holiday began. The official break would start around 2-3 PM.
Usually, afternoon sses started around 2 o''clock, but due to tomorrow being a public holiday and considering that some students had long journeys back home, the afternoon sses were scheduled to end early. Students would be let out around 2-3 PM.
Since it was still early, Wu Hao decided to wander around the city and buy some things to take back home.
Meanwhile, his vi, which had been under construction for over two months, was nearingpletion. They were now cleaning the interior and conducting detailed inspections.
The swift progress in the construction was naturally due to Wu Hao''s financial support. As long as you paid generously, the workers were more than happy to finish your project quickly. However, this construction team responsible for building Wu Hao''s vi was not the type that only cared about money and didn''t do their job.
After purchasing some festive items, Wu Hao had nothing else to do, so he opened hisptop in the car and connected to the inte, which was directly essed via satellite signal. Needless to say, the inte speed was excellent.
"Hmm! I didn''t expect the earnings from the documentary to be quite high!" After browsing the news for a while, Wu Hao opened his email, where he found several payment notifications from media outlets such as CCTV.
Chapter 56: Everlasting Bronze Residue
Chapter 56: Evesting Bronze Residue
Originally, in the past few days, the televisionworks and media authorized by him had already transferred his share of earnings to his designated foreign bank ounts.
These ounts were considered "inactive" or "dead ounts," meaning that the original owners had already disappeared from this world.
However, the fact of their disappearance had not been discovered by the poption census in their respective countries, so their bank ounts remained intact.
There was no inheritance or other means of cancetion.
The phenomenon of people disappearing from the poption was happening worldwide every day, so it was not difficult for Wu Hao to use some means to find dormant ounts that had temporarily gone unnoticed.
At present, apart from the firewalls of some developed countries'' banking systems that could detect his intrusion, it was rtively easy for Wu Hao, with his current abilities, to ess customer ount information in less developed or less defensively strong banking systems.
Even if he directly transferred the funds from these ounts, the banks would not find any evidence. They would simply consider it a "normal" flow of funds.
However, although Wu Hao had the ability to do so, he would not. If he wanted to make money, there were many other ways, such as selling some technical materials, which was a simple task considering his knowledge.
Engaging in the act of secretly transferring funds from others'' ounts would be considered "theft," which Wu Hao would not stoop to.
However, using some "inactive ounts" to circte funds posed no problem.
The amount transferred to him by the three mediapanies this time, when converted to soft sister coins, totaled over 20 million. This was the amount after the respective taxes had been deducted by the mediapanies. After all, Wu Hao had not signed a formal contract with them, so he couldn''t pay taxes himself.
Therefore, when transferring the funds, the mediapanies had already deducted the corresponding taxes on behalf of Wu Hao.
After reading the emails, Wu Hao immediately logged into those "ounts" and transferred the money into his secret ount at a Swiss bank.
As for his domestic bank ount, Wu Hao never intended to keep arge sum of money there. After all, this ount was opened under his real identity, and if arge amount of funds suddenly appeared, it would definitely attract the attention of the bank.
Once the bank started an investigation, they would realize that Wu Hao had no legitimate source of ie, yet there was arge amount of money in his ount. How would he exin that?
Therefore, up to now, the money in Wu Hao''s ount was only a few tens of millions.
A few tens of millions in soft sister coins would certainly not attract the bank''s attention. After all, there were many wealthy people in China with millions of deposits. Even some ruralborers who went out to work had deposits of several million! Of course, they were the minority. [PS: I don''t know about other ces, but there is a family like this in our vige. They have been working for more than ten years and have savings of over 3 million. And that''s just frombor work. As for those who do business or suddenly be wealthy for some reason, the amount would be even higher.]
...
Time flew by, and a few hours quickly passed. Many students began to leave the school gate and head home. Without exception, they all had joyful expressions on their faces.
For students studying at school, the happiest moment was undoubtedly when the school went on vacation.
As Wu Hao had notified his sister in advance at noon, he didn''t have to wait long at the school gate before he saw the beautiful figure of his sister, Wu Xiaoxiao.
"Brother, I''m here!" Wu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and jogged over to Wu Hao. Beside her was Wen Wen, whom Wu Hao had met before.
"Hello, Brother Wu!" Wen Wen, with her refined appearance, greeted Wu Hao proactively as soon as they approached.
Wu Hao had already learned Wen Wen''s name during phone conversations with his sister and had even talked to her a few times. There were times when Wen Wen helped connect his calls to his sister.
As for their rtionship, they could be considered close friends, even best friends in private. After all, Wu Xiaoxiao often mentioned each other during conversations with Wu Hao.
"Hello, Wen Wen. Nice to see you too!" Wu Hao smiled and then asked the two of them, "Are you nning to go shopping or go straight home?"
During the previous phone call with his sister, Wu Hao had already learned that Wen Wen would be going home with them. Wen Wen''s home was not far from theirs, just a town away.
In other words, Wu Hao would pass through the small town where her house was located on his way back from the city.
"We''ve been locked up in school for a week, and since you''re giving us a ride, and it''s still early, let''s go for a stroll before heading back!" Wu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Alright! Where do you want to go? I''ll apany you for a walk!" If his own sister said so, what else could Wu Hao, as the older brother, say? Besides, he didn''t go shopping with girls every day, so asionally apanying them for shopping was eptable.
So, the two of them quickly got in the car, and Wu Hao drove to amercial street in the city center.
As Wu Hao and the others got in the car and left, many of the studentsing out of the school naturally noticed that Wu Hao had gotten in the car.
"Ah, our school''s former poor but beautiful girl seems to have be a thing of the past and turned into a genuine rich beauty..." a male student at the school gate sighed.
"There''s no need for you to say that!" hispanion beside him said disdainfully.
"What kind of person do you think that guy driving the Mercedes is to our school beauty?"
"What else could he be? He must be the boyfriend of a certain rich second-generation!" another male student said with a sour tone.
"No, no, this person should not be our school beauty''s boyfriend. Haven''t you heard that a lucky guy a couple of months ago received several hundred yuan just by passing a message to our school beauty''s brother? I think this person should be her brother."
"No way! Her brother? He doesn''t look anything like our beautiful school beauty!"
"Enough, stop discussing whether or not she looks like the school beauty. What''s the use of discussing these things? No matter how much we talk, these kinds of beauties are not within our reach as poor losers. Let''s hurry up and go to the inte cafe to y games, or else there won''t be any seats leftter."
"Damn it! All you think about is ying games! No wonder you''re single!" The person, having his words interrupted, looked displeased and scorned.
"You''re calling me single, but aren''t you also single, you bastard? Stop talking nonsense, are youing or not?"
"I''m going! Of course I''m going! Today, I''m determined to break the curse of being stuck in the Bronze rank for a thousand years."
"Hmph! Even if you break the curse of being stuck in Bronze for a thousand years, you''ll still be a Silver noob, haha..."
"..." The person hearing this suddenly felt like crying without tears.
Because he felt that the other person''s words were surprisingly reasonable, and at this moment, he waspletely speechless in response.
Chapter 57: I Have a Big Appetite
Chapter 57: I Have a Big Appetite
Going shopping with girls is indeed a very exhausting job. Initially, Wu Hao apanied the two girls shopping together. Since they entered themercial street, they have been happily wandering around, looking at everything, but didn''t buy anything.
In the end, after about an hour of shopping, Wu Hao couldn''t bear it anymore. He hurriedly urged the two girls to each buy something and then drove away from the city.
After a journey of over an hour, Wu Wen, who was apanying them, got off the car in a small town along the way, and Wu Hao continued on the way back home with his sister.
When they arrived home, the parents, who had received early notice, had already prepared dinner. Now, they were just missing the final dish before they could start the meal.
However, Wu Hao knew that he had arge appetite now.
Although the dinner prepared by his parents was plentiful, it seemed to be only enough for him alone. Seeing this, Wu Hao said to his mother,
"Mom! I just remembered that I have a big wild rabbit in my car. You guys go ahead and eat, I''ll go and deal with the rabbit."
"Brother! There''s a rabbit in your car? Why didn''t I see it when I was taking the luggage just now?" Wu Xiao Xiao was a little puzzled. Although there were many things in the trunk of Wu Hao''s car, she didn''t notice any rabbits when she took the luggage earlier.
"Hehe! Maybe I didn''t put it in an obvious ce, and you just didn''t see it. Alright, you and mom go ahead and eat, I''ll be right back." Wu Hao smiled. Of course, there was no rabbit in his car at the moment, but if there wasn''t one in the car, were there none in the nearby mountains?
You see, his current mental perception could cover a distance of 1 kilometer! It fully covered a small mountain behind his house. Even if there were no prey on this mountain, all he needed to do was walk a short distance, and he would definitely find something.
Because he knew very well that there were quite a few wild animals in the depths of the mountains behind his hometown. Although there might not be other animals, there were still plenty of mountain chickens and wild rabbits.
And if he went deeper, wild boars would gradually appear.
"This child, the dishes are about to be served. Why go and get a wild rabbit? It''s not toote to go after eating!" Zhang Hun shook her head and smiled.
Wu Hao''s boss didn''t say much either. Wu Hao left quickly and returned quickly. In just two minutes, he came back home carrying a lifeless fat rabbit.
Since it was already dark outside, after he left the house, he flew low towards the direction of the back mountain. In less than two minutes, he caught a big wild rabbit in a rabbit hole and returned home.
"Wow, it''s really such a big rabbit! Huh? Why is it still warm?" Wu Xiao Xiao looked at Wu Hao, who had indeed brought back a somewhat shabby big rabbit, and casually touched it. She was surprised to find that the rabbit''s body still had some warmth.
Because if Wu Hao said he brought it from outside, then this rabbit must have been dead for several hours! How could a guy who had been dead for hours still have warmth?
Seeing Wu Xiao Xiao touching the wild rabbit in his hand and saying these words, Wu Hao simply brushed it off and casually smoothed the rabbit in his hand without leaving any traces. He exined with a smile, "Maybe it''s because it stayed in the car for a long time, and with the air conditioning on, it might have retained some warmth!" At this point, Wu Hao didn''t intend to exin any further. He quickly said, "Alright, you guys go ahead and eat. I''ll skin and clean this rabbit and stew it."
"Just leave it there. We have so many dishes already. We can deal with the rabbit tomorrow. The food will get cold if we wait!" Zhang Hunined.
"It''s alright, Mom. I''ll take care of it soon. I have a bigger appetite now, and the dishes you made probably won''t be enough for me!" Wu Hao smiled and said half seriously, half jokingly.
"So many dishes aren''t enough for you? Don''t brag here, young man!" Zhang Hunughed and scolded.
"Alright, since Hao''er says he has a big appetite, let''s quickly stew this rabbit together!" Wu Hongguo, who was nearby, chimed in.
"I didn''t say not to stew it. Look at how you''re exaggerating! Also, I''ve told you to smoke less. You''ve been coughing a lottely, and you still smoke so much every day. Really!" Zhang Hun looked at Wu Hongguo, who was about to have his meal, sitting in a chair smoking, and she scolded him.
The cigarettes Wu Hongguo smoked were not the packaged cigarettesmonly avable in the market. They were the "leaf cigarettes" he grew himself, which were tobo leaves without any processing.
Of course, it wasn''t that Wu Hongguo didn''t like to smoke the good cigarettes avable in the market. It was just that in the past, their family''s financial condition was poor, and they had to support Wu Hao and Wu Xiaoxiao''s education, so they naturally tried to save wherever possible.
Therefore, every spring, Wu Hongguo would nt a patch of tobo, and for the following year, he could slowly smoke it.
Even though their financial situation had improved recently, and Wu Hongguo had bought some good cigarettes from the market, he had be ustomed to the original taste of these "leaf cigarettes" he had been smoking for so many years.
Smoking the packaged cigarettes suddenly didn''t feel as satisfying, so he often ended up smoking the leaf cigarettes he had saved before.
Hearing his mom''s words, Wu Hao also spoke up and advised his dad, "Dad, since you''ve been coughingtely, smoke less." Wu Hao was well aware of his dad''s addiction to smoking. When he was still at home, his dad would usually smoke a dozen or more of thoserge, wrapped "leaf cigarettes" every day.
A single "leaf cigarette" like that was much stronger than the packaged cigarettes avable in the market. If someone who hadn''t smoked it before tried it, they would find it difficult to handle. It had quite a kick.
"Hehe! It''s no big deal! I''m used to it!" Wu Hongguo said that, but he still voluntarily extinguished the cigarette and put it in his tobo pouch.
Seeing this, Wu Hao immediately went into the kitchen to clean the wild rabbit. After all, he had reached a high level of cooking skills now.
After all, he had survived in the wilderness alone for two months! Coupled with his increased appetite, he had be quite proficient in cooking every day, and he didn''t need anyone''s guidance.
You see, with his current learning ability and his mastery of food temperatures and cooking times, it could be said that he was unparalleled. So, naturally, the dishes he made couldn''t be bad.
However, when he was in the wilderness, Wu Hao didn''t need to personally handle the cooking process. He simply used his telekinesis to control it. The ingredients would automatically start cutting when they needed to be cut, and when it was time to put them in the pot, they would go in automatically.
He didn''t need to personally monitor the pot''s contents. He couldpletely focus on cooking while simultaneously doing other things.
Chapter 58: Big Foodie
Chapter 58: Big Foodie
In other words, the term "one heart, two uses" is far from sufficient to describe him. If he wishes, he can easily handle seven or eight different tasks simultaneously.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the total amount of mental energy required for these tasks is within 10 tons.
For example, he can use eight different pots to cook various dishes at once, and simultaneously manipte multiple objects using his mental power for various operations.
Currently, there are no real limitations on the number of objects that Wu Hao can manipte, as long as he doesn''t make all of them perform different operations simultaneously.
For instance, if Wu Hao uses his mental power to lift a heap of pebbles, the quantity of those pebbles could be countless, but as long as the total weight he controls remains within 10 tons, there won''t be any issues.
However, it wouldn''t be feasible for him to use his mental power to control such arge heap of pebbles to attack different targets, as the quantity is simply too vast.
At present, Wu Hao can simultaneously manipte different objects and carry out simple linear attacks on different targets.
If there''s only one or a few targets, he can use his mental power to control them simultaneously, allowing the targets to be attacked in any desired manner, be it curving or straight, with utmost precision.
Moreover, with Wu Hao''s current mental power intensity, even controlling a small stone, he canunch an attack on a target hundreds of meters away, with more devastating power than a typical sniper rifle.
Although Wu Hao can''t use his mental power to control every step of cooking at home, he is not slow when he takes matters into his own hands. In less than half an hour, he turns a wild rabbit into two dishes.
After thoroughly cleaning the internal organs, he braises a portion of them, while the rabbit meat itself is pressure-cooked.
Since Wu Hao''s parents and sister saw him cooking, they naturally didn''t start eating beforehand. After he finished cooking the rabbit meat, they reheated some of the dishes that had cooled down.
"Wow! Brother, I didn''t expect your dishes to be so delicious now! They are much better than before." After tasting a piece of rabbit meat, Wu Xiaoxiao exaggeratedly praised Wu Hao''s culinary skills.
"Hehe, I''ve been cooking frequently outside during this period, so you could say practice makes perfect!" Wu Hao smiled and didn''t pay much attention.
Initially, Wu Hao ate rtively slowly, but when he saw his parents and sister almost done eating and putting down their chopsticks, he started to speed up.
Seeing this scene, his parents and sister suddenly remembered something. They seemed to have heard Wu Hao say that his appetite had increased, but seeing him eat so much still surprised them.
"Take it easy, don''t overeat..." Wu Hao''s mother quickly spoke up upon noticing.
Wu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting beside them, also opened her mouth, looking at Wu Hao with a strange expression. "Brother, have you been starving in the mountains? Even if you were starving, you shouldn''t indulge in such excessive eating!"
Hearing this, Wu Hao had no choice but to temporarily put down his chopsticks and exin, "Mom, it''s not what you think. My appetite has genuinely increased, and it''s not about overeating!"
As for Wu Hao being hungry in the mountains? That''s impossible! On the contrary, he eats things that ordinary people find difficult to obtain every daypure and natural wild game, such as wild boar and antelope. Every few days, he manages to catch one. Besides eating for himself, he also shares the leftovers with a family of golden eagles.
In addition to the natural meat from hunting, there are wild vegetables, mushrooms, and other delights from the mountains. One could say that his life in the mountains is quite enjoyable and vorful.
Apart from the considerable mental energy he expended during thest month, excavating the mountain base, he had afortable and fulfilling life in all other aspects.
Upon hearing Wu Hao''s exnation, Zhang Hun finally breathed a sigh of relief. If his increased appetite was genuine, then she didn''t need to worry anymore.
After all, being able to eat is a blessing! Throughout history, most people who have a good appetite tend to have strong bodies.
Of course, those who only eat without exercising and end up gaining weight are not fortunate. It is actually harmful to their health.
A few minutester, just like a whirlwind, Wu Hao finished everything on the table, including the meat soup which he even drank up.
"Brother, it seems like we''ll need a bigger pot for cooking at home from now on." Wu Xiaoxiao couldn''t help but tease when she saw this.
"Hehe, a slightly bigger one will do." Wu Hao didn''t mind his sister''s teasing. But indeed, he had be a big foodie, and that was not going to change.
After all, his body was much stronger than an average person in all aspects. If he didn''t consume enough food, it would definitely not be enough.
It''s just like martial artists who need to eat arge amount of high-energy food.
Unless in the future Wu Hao finds some other high-energy food to rece it, likepressed biscuits or something simr. However,pression only increases calories, it doesn''t provide much nutrition or high-energy elements.
High energy refers to food that contains high protein, such as beef, while high-calorie food is what wemonly refer to as junk food.
These things have little nutritional value, but they can fulfill basic bodily needs. However, if you consume too many calories, it will turn into excess fat.
After the meal, Wu Hongguo habitually started smoking, but after only a short while, he began coughing violently. Wu Xiaoxiao, who was next to him, quickly approached with concern and asked, "Dad! What''s wrong with you? Didn''t we ask you to smoke less?"
"Cough... Cough..." Wu Hongguo coughed continuously for a while before managing to reply, "Cough, I''m used to it. I''ll try to smoke less..."
Wu Xiaoxiao wore a face ofint upon hearing this because she had heard those words countless times. However, just as she was about to speak, she noticed a trace of blood at the corner of her father''s mouth.
"Dad! Why are you bleeding?" Wu Xiaoxiao became a little panicked.
Wu Hao, who was in the kitchen helping his mother clean the dishes, heard this and temporarily set aside his work to approach Wu Hongguo.
Seeing the blood at the corner of his father''s mouth, Wu Hao knew that his father''s health was definitely in trouble because ordinary coughing wouldn''t lead to coughing up blood.
"Old man, we''ve been telling you to smoke less, and now you see, you''re coughing up blood." Zhang Hunined and worried at the same time.
At this moment, Wu Hao had already scanned his father''s condition through his mental perception, and after understanding the specific situation, his expression turned grim.
Indeed, his father''s body had significant problems. His stomach and heart were both damaged to different extents. If described in medical terms, he was suffering from gastritis and heart problems caused by hypertension.
Chapter 59: Serious Condition
Chapter 59: Serious Condition
However, these conditions are not the most severe areas of his father''s health. The most severe area is still his lungs.
Through spiritual perception scanning, the condition of his father''s lungs is simply horrifying. There are numerous cauliflower-like protrusions in some bronchi.
These things are none other than lung tumors, and based on the current condition of his father''s lungs, they are in the advanced stage.
Knowing that his father''s health condition has reached such a serious stage, Wu Hao''s mood immediately sank.
"Late-stage lung cancer! How could it turn out like this!" Wu Hao''s spiritual perception is even more precise than the most advanced X-ray scans in the world.
Combined with his current super learning and analytical abilities, although he has not specifically studied medical biology, he can confirm his father''s current condition through some information he has previouslye across in school and on the inte.
However, now that he knows the specifics of his father''s condition, he naturally cannot reveal it. After recovering hisposure for a moment, he says to his parents, "Dad, I think we should go to the hospital for an examination. If there are any problems, it''s better to know early and start treatment."
Upon hearing Wu Hao''s words, Zhang Hun immediately responds, "Yes, yes, old man, let''s go to the hospital for an examination quickly."
"Hehe! Alright! I''ll go along with your arrangement!" Wu Hongguo realizes that he has been coughing up blood and knows that his health condition is probably not optimistic.
In fact, coughing is a chronic condition for Wu Hongguo, but since it hasn''t been too severe before, he didn''t pay much attention to it. However, in the past month, his cough has be more serious.
At times, he even feels like he''s coughing up his lungs. Moreover, the cough medicine he bought during this period hasn''t been very effective.
"Mom, you and Dad pack a few more clothes. We''ll go to the provincial capital for a check-up." Although Wu Hao already knows his father''s condition and realizes that it will be difficult to treat with current medical methods, he certainly cannot give up.
Not only can he not give up, but he also needs to ensure that his father receives the best medical facilities. Therefore, they won''t go to the city hospital, as only therge hospitals in the province have better medical conditions.
"Okay! I''ll start packing right away!" Zhang Hun naturally has no objections when she hears Wu Hao''s words.
"Brother, I want to go too!" Wu Xiaoxiao also expresses her worry.
"Yes! Everyone can go! Bring your personal belongings, and after your vacation ends, I''ll take you back to school," Wu Hao knows that for a long period of time, his parents will likely stay in the provincial capital.
"No need to rush like this! I already feel fine now," Wu Hongguo can''t help but speak when he sees Wu Hao and the others ready to act immediately.
"Dad! Going to the provincial capital will take several hours. If we go tomorrow, it''s likely that the examination won''t happen until the afternoon or the day after tomorrow. Currently, theserge hospitals usually have long queues. So, let''s stay overnight in the province tonight and go to the hospital tomorrow," Wu Hao exins with a smile.
Wu Hongguo can only choose to follow Wu Hao''s arrangement, as by this time, Zhang Hun has already packed their belongings.
The atmosphere in the car is somewhat silent as they make their way to the provincial capital, mainly because everyone is concerned about Wu Hongguo''s condition.
However, Wu Hongguo himself remains rtively rxed. Although he coughs several times along the way, he assures everyone that he is fine.
However, the more rxed he appears, the more worried Wu Hao''s mother and sister be. As for Wu Hao, after the initial concern, he calms down because he knows that worrying alone won''t be of any use. He needs to calmly find ways to gather information about his father''s condition.
Althoughte-stage cancer cannot be cured with current medical technology, there are still many cases ofte-stage cancer recovery around the world.
These cases involve patients who, apart from not being considered fully cured by hospitals, have relied on their own mindset and positive attitude towards life, along with minimal medical assistance, to gradually develop the ability to resist cancer cell spread and even potentially consume cancer cells.
It should be noted that once a person triggers their true physical potential, the power they possess is unimaginably strong. For example, Wu Hao has currently unlocked his own potential due to some special circumstances, granting him such powerful abilities.
Furthermore, Wu Hao has a feeling that his current situation is not the true limit of human potential. He believes that he has merely opened a door to the mysteries of the human body.
Once this door is opened, the potential that humanity possesses will gradually manifest.
However, while this may seem simple, truly reaching the final step of human potential is not an easy task.
At least for now, Wu Hao has no clue on how to further develop his abilities, even though his current brainputing power rivals the most advanced supeputers in the world.
However, the so-called supeputing power of these supeputers is not as amazing as one might imagine. Beyond supeputing, there are quantumputers, and beyond quantumputers, there are even more powerful existences.
On the way to the provincial capital, Wu Hao drove the car while performing various calctions in his mind on how to treat cancerous transformations and simting experiments repeatedly in his thoughts.
As for driving the car, it was such a trivial matter for Wu Hao that he didn''t even need to exert any effort. He could effortlessly maintain a steady control of the vehicle.
In fact, when Wu Hao is alone in the car, he doesn''t need to physically hold the steering wheel. He simply uses telekinesis for fully automated driving.
Since he was carrying his father to the hospital in the province, and his sister and mother were deeply concerned about his father''s condition, the atmosphere in the car remained heavy throughout the journey.
As Wu Hao was engrossed in various calctions in his mind, he rarely spoke and simply drove in silence.
After arriving in the provincial capital, Wu Hao apanied his father to register at the hospital and then found a nearby hotel for them to stay.
Once everything was arranged, Wu Hao returned to his room, turned on hisputer, and connected to the inte to start searching for information from various sources.
The information he searched for mainly included documented cases from hospitals worldwide regarding the treatment of cancerous conditions, as well as case data of rted patients. Undoubtedly, this was a vast amount of data.
Chapter 60: Data Collection
Chapter 60: Data Collection
However, in the vast amount of data, Wu Hao also needs to collect and store it in his mind because these cases have a significant impact on his uing research.
Understanding the different situations of people who have be ill and have undergone a series of treatments in modern medical facilities is what we call clinical trials, right?
However, the patient cases stored in the internal databases of major hospitals worldwide are quite substantial, and Wu Hao essed and downloaded them through hacking. He wanted to do it without leaving a trace and find the data and information he needed, which was a time-consuming task.
Fortunately, the defense capabilities of these hospital internal databases are far superior to militaryworks, except for a few gic medical research institutes where he temporarily couldn''t enter unnoticed, he had free ess to the rest.
Based on the information Wu Hao has gathered through his hacking activities in the virtual world, all developed countries in the world currently have different regions with stringentwork security. These regions consist of highly secretive research institutes and facilities, apart from militaryworks.
However, unless Wu Hao has a specific and crucial need, he has refrained from touching these ces. After all, the defense capabilities of these locations are formidable.
Even if Wu Hao manages to sessfully infiltrate, he would surely be detected. Moreover, ensuring a safe retreat would be aborious and challenging task.
Unless Wu Hao can create a true "deity" in the virtual world, he won''t be able to freelye and go in the digital realm. Any ce with an inte connection would hold no secrets for this virtual "deity."
This virtual "deity" belongs to the realm of artificial intelligence, which is currently being researched by humans. However, with our current technological capabilities, we have yet to create true artificial intelligence in the real sense.
Currently, research institutes in some countries are only working on what can be considered pseudo-artificial intelligence. These AI programs can perform tasks as required by humans butck independent conscious thinking.
The capabilities of these pseudo-artificial intelligence are far inferior to genuine artificial intelligence. In fact, at this level of advancement, it would be more appropriate to refer to them as intelligent life forms.
Intelligent life refers to special organisms with independent thinking abilities simr to humans, and in some respects, they are many times more powerful than humans.
For example, eternal life, the god of the digital realm, and so on. Furthermore, intelligent life can also possess life vessels simr to those of humans.
As time flew by, after an entire night of continuous work, Wu Hao finallypleted the collection of various results of cancer mutations, as well as the data and information of the majority of cancer patients throughout history.
With this data and information, Wu Hao''s next step is to utilize his brain''s supeputing power to perform various analyses and simtions to find the best method tobat cancer mutations.
However, it is unlikely that Wu Hao will find the most effective solution in the short term. If cancer were so easily curable, humanity would have already developed the most effective drugs long ago.
Unless humanity achieves revolutionary sess in gic technology in the future, the current medical technology is incapable of conquering cancer mutations.
After a night of intense mental calctions, Wu Hao is now starting to feel physically exhausted, and his body is showing signs of overload.
After all, while his brain''sputing power may beparable to the most advanced supeputers in the world, he cannot sustain the highest level ofputation for as long as these machines can.
These supeputers can continue various calctions and tasks as long as they have sufficient power supply, while Wu Hao is clearly unable to do so.
At most, he can sustain intensiveputation for a few hours before facing the risk of overload. And the data he diligently "downloaded" into his mindst night is certainly not a simple matter.
So that''s why he now looks extremely haggard, and his body is experiencing waves of hunger. "It seems like I can''t push myself so hard in the future. I''m still too impatient," Wu Hao thought, feeling the overwhelming state of his body and still trembling with fear.
Because his body is severely exhausted now, he is no longer able to use his psychic powers and mental perception.
Actually, Wu Hao''s impatience is quite understandable. After all, his father''s cancer has reached an advanced stage, and after the hospital conducted tests, they found that apart from some simple control measures, there is simply no way to treat it.
In fact, it is futile for manyte-stage cancer patients to be admitted to the hospital for treatment. It even exacerbates the deterioration of their health.
Rather than receiving medical treatment, it''s more like waiting for death in the hospital. Those patients who choose to undergo treatment in the hospital are usually from families with good financial conditions. Patients from poorer backgrounds often choose another way of waiting.
And the rtives or children of the patients, as long as they have the financial means, even if they know that the hospital has no way to help, they will still spend hundreds of thousands on surgeries or other treatment methods. Such situations ur almost every moment in hospitals worldwide.
Of course, cancer, as a disease, is terrifying, but it is not unbeatable. The few cases of spontaneous remission in cancer patients are the best examples.
Many of these people were sentenced to death by the hospital, but after going home for a few years, they discovered that not only were they fine, but they had also recovered. These rare cases only prove one thing: the human body has a powerful ability to resist any disease, but very few people can achieve that.
Wu Hao certainly wouldn''t think that his father is one of those rare cases. So he can only find a method through his own efforts to help his father achieve that.
Even if he can''t do it temporarily, he must find a way to control his father''s condition as soon as possible.
Although current medical technology cannot cure cancer, it can still achieve some degree of control. That''s why Wu Hao is studying various cases of hospitals treating this type of illness.
Feeling the difort and weakness in his body, Wu Hao quickly found some cookies or snacks in his hotel room to replenish his energy. Then, he restored his mental strength using his usual methods.
After recovering for a while, he looked at the time and realized it was already 7 o''clock in the morning. He had breakfast with his parents and younger sister at the hotel and then headed to the hospital.
Chapter 61: Concealing the Condition
Chapter 61: Concealing the Condition
These days, the number of people in hospitals for medical check-ups or treatments is simplyparable to a market, especially in some famousrge hospitals where the number is even higher.
Sometimes, after the number of people bes toorge, it takes a day or two just for registration and waiting in line.
In this way, Wu Hao apanied his parents, waiting for nearly a whole morning, before it was finally his turn for the examination.
"Brother, do you think Dad is in any danger?" Wu Xiaoxiao anxiously asked as she saw her father enter the examination room.
Zhang Hun, who was beside her, shared the same concern. In fact, fromst night until now, they have been filled with worry and felt heavy-hearted.
Although Wu Hao knew the specifics of his father''s condition, he naturally wouldn''t reveal it now. He could only offer reassurance, saying, "Don''t worry! Dad will be fine."
After the examination, Wu Hao proceeded toplete the hospital admission procedures for his father. Despite therge number of people in the hospital, it hadn''t reached the point where there were no avable beds.
Therefore, after inquiring about the ward situation from the hospital, Wu Hao arranged a VIP ward for his father. Although Wu Hongguo was reluctant to be admitted, he ultimately couldn''t resist the persuasion from Zhang Hun and Wu Xiaoxiao, so he followed Wu Hao''s arrangement.
In fact, even though Wu Hongguo''s cancer was in the advanced stage, he hadn''t experienced any symptoms yet. Apart from asional coughing and asional chest pain, he hadn''t reached a state where he couldn''t walk.
Due to this, Wu Hongguo didn''t want to be hospitalized. After all, he felt that since the examination results hadn''te out yet, he might only need some medication for a minor issue and wouldn''t require hospitalization.
Wu Hongguo having such thoughts wasn''t surprising either. After many years of frugality and financial struggles, although he now had money, old-fashioned beliefs like those were not easy to change.
Time flew by quickly, and around 3 o''clock in the afternoon, Wu Hongguo''s examination report was ready.
However, because Wu Hao knew what the result would be, he didn''t let Wu Hongguo apany him to collect the report. Instead, he asked him to stay in the VIP ward while he left Wu Xiaoxiao behind to take care of their father.
Wu Hao apanied his mother to the attending physician to collect the report. "You are Wu Hongguo''s family, right?" Dr. Zhanghua looked at the report in his hand and after a moment of contemtion, he said to Wu Hao and his mother.
"Yes! Dr. Zhang, please tell us the examination results for my father," Wu Hao nodded slightly.
"Alright, since it''s like this, I will tell you the truth. The patient, Wu Hongguo, has been diagnosed with advanced-stage lung cancer. I believe I don''t need to say much about this condition, as you are all aware," Dr. Zhanghua conveyed.
"You must work on the patient''s mindset and help him maintain a positive attitude. With the cooperation of our hospital''s medications and treatments, the patient should be able to survive for about a year."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hun felt her vision darken, feeling as if the sky was about to copse. Wu Hao quickly stepped forward to support her, saying, "Mom, don''t worry, I believe Dad will definitely recover."
Dr. Zhanghua was clearly not seeing Wu Hao and Zhang Hun''s reactions for the first time. After all, in his more than ten years of practicing medicine, he had witnessed such scenes far too often.
Afterforting his mother for a while, Wu Hao turned to Dr. Zhanghua and said, "Dr. Zhang, I hope you can help conceal my father''s condition. Don''t tell him it''s advanced-stage cancer. Just say it''s in the early stage and that he can recover with proper treatment soon."
"Well, that''s not a problem! Concealing the condition can reduce the patient''s mental burden," Dr. Zhanghua responded without refusing. After all, in most cases, it''s better for patients not to know their true condition than to know.
Because many patients have poor psychological resilience, they could have lived for a few more years, but as soon as they hear they have advanced-stage cancer, they pass away in a matter of days.
In these cases, it''s not the disease that kills them but the fear.
There are also a few rare cases where patients go to the hospital for routine check-ups, and it turns out that the hospital made a misdiagnosis, telling them they have advanced-stage cancer. Upon hearing this news, they constantly worry about having cancer after returning home.
However, after some time, the hospital informs them that there might have been an error in the test results, and they don''t actually have cancer. But after undergoing another examination, they discover that they indeed have cancer. This situation confuses the doctors in the hospital.
In fact, this oue only illustrates one thing: if a person spends all their mental energy focusing on a particr matter every day, perhaps that matter will truly manifest in their life.
Such situations often demonstrate the "bad luck strikes, but good luck doesn''t" phenomenon.
For example, when someone identally bumps their head as soon as they wake up in the morning, if their mindset is negative, they immediately think, "Damn it, I''m so unlucky today." This statement may not seem inappropriate, but by saying it, they make their entire being consciously focus on that unfortunate incident.
Then, in a short while, they realize they can''t find something they need, and they end up missing the bus to work. They mutter to themselves, "Damn, so unlucky."
Soon after, they finally manage to reach their workce with difficulty, but suddenly they get scolded by their boss for something. It feels as if they spend the whole day surrounded by bad luck.
The root cause of such circumstances is actually the person themselves because they spend the entire day continuously suggesting to themselves, "I''m having a really unlucky day today." They might not be aware of this, but in their innermost thoughts, they keep repeating such things.
Let''s take a simple example: someone insults you with harsh words, which greatly angers you. At that moment, you retort or even get into a fight. In the worst-case scenario, both of you might face some kind of punishment.
Then, when you return home, you suddenly remember the words the other person used to insult you. The more you think about it, the angrier you be. And the angrier you get, the more you keep thinking about the incident.
It''s like a continuous secondary injury. Even though the incident has already passed, when you return home, you recall the situation where the other person insulted you. While the other person only insulted you once, you might rey it in your mind a hundred times, causing a hundred injuries!
There''s another situation to consider: the idiom "mind over matter." Many people may think it''s just an adjective or a well-wishing phrase.
Chapter 62: The Power of Visualization
Chapter 62: The Power of Visualization
But the idiom ''thoughts be reality'' is almost always present in our lives.
However, most of the time, the things we wish for don''t happen, while the negative onese quickly.
Most people often experience the phenomenon of their negative thoughts bing reality, while the positive ones never materialize.
The root cause of this lies within ourselves, as previously mentioned. Unconsciously, we keep suggesting negative events in our minds, and eventually, they be a reality.
Of course, if you can control your thoughts to constantly focus on positive aspects, perhaps you can attract positive things into your life.
However, only 1% of people worldwide can achieve this, and they hold 99% of the world''s wealth...
[PS: The above understandinges from ''The Secret'' and the ''Law of Attraction.'' If you have read about this, you may have some understanding. If you haven''t, you can search and learn about it. Perhaps, after gaining insight, ''thoughts bing reality'' will be within your reach. It''s embarrassing to admit that a few years ago, when I first learned about ''The Secret,'' I was excited for weeks, feeling like I was about to touch that point. However, due to various factors, I couldn''t fullyprehend ''The Secret,'' so... you know how it goes...]
...
After returning to the ward, Wu Hao informed his father of the examination results while observing his father''s reaction.
Upon hearing the news of his cancer diagnosis, Wu Hongguo was visibly stunned. Sensing this, Wu Hao quickly continued, "Dad, don''t worry too much. It''s still in the early stages, and as long as you cooperate with the treatment, you can fully recover.
Though deeply saddened, Zhang Hun forced a smile, following Wu Hao''s previous instructions. She said, "That''s right, old man. Don''t think too much. As long as you cooperate with the treatment, you''ll recover soon. However, from now on, you must quit smoking." Zhang Hun''s tone suddenly turned serious.
The current condition of Wu Hongguo''s illness isrgely caused by smoking, so she strongly disapproves of it.
Wu Hongguo paused for a moment, then pretended to smile lightly. "So, it''s cancer, huh? Since it''s still in the early stages, I have nothing to worry about. You all can rest assured that I will cooperate with the treatment."
"Dad, just rx," although Wu Hao felt that his father''s smile seemed forced, the situation was considered good.
After spending some more time in the ward, Wu Hao went to find Dr. Zhang, who was responsible for treating Wu Hongguo, and exined his requests.
"You mean you only want our hospital to provide routine treatment for your father and not undergo chemotherapy? But considering your father''s current condition, without chemotherapy, it would be difficult to survive beyond a year if the disease worsens," Dr. Zhang furrowed his brow.
"Dr. Zhang, I understand the specifics, but since your hospital doesn''t guarantee that chemotherapy canpletely kill the cancer cells, it''s better not to subject my father to that suffering," Wu Hao was well aware of the dangers of chemotherapy. This method of treatment using chemicals can cause severe harm to the patient''s body.
If Wu Hongguo truly had only early-stage cancer, this treatment might be able to withstand the damage. However, the current situation was uncertain.
Moreover, the hospital had already mentioned that their actions would only dy the progression of the disease, without providing a good chance of recovery. Wu Hao didn''t have any hope for the hospital''s assistance either. Ultimately, finding a method for treating Wu Hongguo''s condition would depend on him.
After studying and researching overnight, Wu Hao had some clues and could temporarily control the growth of cancer cells in his father''s body. As long as he could achieve this temporarily, he would have time to find a permanent cure. Wu Hao was confident about this.
The reason why humans currently struggle with cancer is that Western medicine''s fundamental approach is wed.
They only focus on how to use external means to control and kill cancer cells, but they forget that the human body itself has aplete immune system to resist various viruses and diseases.
For example, phagocytes, which can engulf various viruses in the human body, can be well described using a simple analogy for any illness.
It''s like a massive internal war happening at any time and in various areas of our bodies.
For instance, when cold viruses enter the body through the respiratory tract or mouth, they are immediately detected by the body''s immune system.
At this point, the immune system dispatches "soldier" phagocytes to eliminate these invading cold viruses.
Other cells in the body are responsible for logistical support. If the number of phagocytes decreases, these cells will mobilize various energy stores in the body to produce arge number of phagocytes, enabling them tobat the "foreign enemies."
However, if the immune system''s armycks sufficient resources to continue producing arge number of phagocytes for battle, it will be defeated by these invading viruses. This will lead to various diforting reactions in the human body.
However, if the body takes cold medicine after this, the medicine acts as a third-party force and aggressively enters the body to eliminate the cold viruses. This turns the battle into a three-sided melee. However, since cold medicine is specifically designed tobat cold viruses, it does not significantly attack the body''s immune system.
But the immune system doesn''t see it that way. It only knows one thing: to eliminate all invaders. So, after the highly aggressive cold viruses are eliminated, the remaining entities be targets for the body''s immune system army to clean up the battlefield.
At this point, you might wonder why the "soldiers" represented by cold medicine don''t attack the body''s immune system.
The reason for this is quite simple to understand. Since cold medicine is specifically developed to target cold viruses, once there are no cold viruses in the body, they be purposeless and harmless entities.
At this point, the immune system effortlessly deals with these harmless "soldiers" of cold medicine.
However, if these cold medicines continue to aggressively attack the body''s immune system after eliminating the cold viruses, then these medicines would be toxic substances.
Chapter 63: Humans Can Only Rely on Themselves!
Chapter 63: Humans Can Only Rely on Themselves!
Isn''t there a saying that goes, "Every medicine has three parts poison"? If these drugs not only eliminate the invading viruses in the human body but also attack the immune system, it means that these medications have some level of harm to the body. This is what we call side effects.
Chemotherapy, used to treat cancer, is a method that can kill cancer cells with powerful attacking elements. Once these agents enter the body, they engage in a fierce battle against cancer cells, which are highly resilient and formidable opponents.
It''s easy to imagine that this would result in a violent battle within the human body, causing significant damage to the immune system.
Since the immune system is suddenly forced to fight against two different intruders simultaneously, the extent of harm to the body is evident.
Furthermore, the chemotherapy currently developed in the field of medicine, while partially capable of killing cancer cells, cannot achieve a 100% sess rate. Sometimes, these cancer cells even develop resistance to the chemical drugs.
In fact, the reason why so many people nowadays suffer from various types of cancer is due to the extensive chemical pollution in our environment.
Think about it, in ancient times, cancer was not as rampant as it is today. Moreover, as modern medicine progressed in treating cancer, these cancer cells have be more resilient and versatilepared to when the disease was first discovered. This is a result of the increasingly severe chemical pollution humans are exposed to.
Haven''t we often heard news reports about certain ces where chemical leaks lead to arge number of cancer-rted deaths?
Cancer, in essence, is an extremely stubborn and hazardous chemical toxin to the human body.
Wu Hao ns to enhance his father''s immune system as a treatment method, making it strong enough to eliminate these stubborn cancer cell viruses.
For instance, a few rare cases of cancer patients in thete stages who have miraculously recovered have used this approach to ovee the disease.
However, considering the global scale, there are only a few such cases of cancer self-recovery among the numerous individuals suffering fromte-stage cancer. This illustrates that achieving this goal entirely depends on individual circumstances unless a stable method is found.
In fact, many people, upon learning of their cancer diagnosis, never even consider the possibility of continuing to live. Their minds are preupied with thoughts of when they will die, rather than if they will survive!
As a result, their thoughts soon be a reality... because they have already chosen to give up on themselves. If they have abandoned themselves, then what way is there to save them?
Hence, the saying holds true: "Humans can only rely on themselves!"
The true meaning behind this statement is often not fully understood by many individuals.
Chapter 64: Renting a Laboratory
Chapter 64: Renting a Laboratory
The next day, after setting his goal, Wu Hao first made a phone call to the person in charge at the school to express his intentions.
In reality, the school didn''t have any significant research projects recently. Only some students and mentors were engaged in routine research courses, so theboratory was partially inactive.
However, the school couldn''t be honest with Wu Hao and instead made excuses, iming that theboratory was busytely.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao didn''t want to negotiate and directly proposed a 10-day rental period with a payment of 3 million yuan. If he used any of the original materials in theboratory, he would pay for them separately.
The school representative didn''t object and assured Wu Hao that they would immediately halt the ongoing research in theboratory and make it avable for his use.
After reaching an agreement over the phone, Wu Hao and the school scheduled a meeting to discuss the details and make the payment.
The main concern was the payment. After all, this money could be considered external ie, and the rental fee for theboratory would most likely find its way into the pockets of some school leaders.
In reality, such situations were quite normal. In a sense, it couldn''t be considered embezzlement, but rather making the most of avable resources within the rules to convert them into benefits.
"Mr. Wu, I have informed theboratory director, and by this afternoon, we will have theboratory ready for you. However, I''m curious, Mr. Wu, what exactly will you be doing in the rentedboratory?" After some pleasantries in the office, the school leader who received Wu Hao went straight to the point.
"It''s nothing much, just some private research. Rest assured, if anything unexpected happens during the rental period, I willpensate the school ordingly!" Wu Hao understood the meaning behind the question and made the promise directly.
In fact, Wu Hao''s experiment didn''t require 10 days. He had already simted it multiple times in his mind, and now he only needed to develop the actual experiment.
The 10-day timeframe was a conservative estimate he set for himself. If nothing unexpected urred, he couldplete it within 3 to 5 days.
After all, Wu Hao''s goal was to develop a method to temporarily stop the growth and spread of cancer cells in his father''s body, buying him some time for further research.
ording to Wu Hao''s preliminary estimates, the various research equipment required for the formal study couldn''t be found domestically. Currently, there were only one or two institutions in Europe and America with such research equipment, belonging to top-notch research institutes.
It wasn''t feasible for Wu Hao to go to these research institutes and use their equipment and facilities. Buying the equipment himself and establishing a researchboratory wasn''t something that could be aplished just by having money.
These devices were scarce even in European and American countries, and both the manufacturing process and other aspects posed significant technological challenges for current human technology.
Coupled with the blockade against China by these countries, it was difficult for even a high-precision machine tool to enter the country.
Therefore, Wu Hao could only purchase a portion of theponents and materials he could acquire. For those he couldn''t purchase, he would have to wait until his base waspletely operational and gradually manufacture theponents using his own equipment to assemble the necessary research equipment.
This kind of equipment is precisely the high-precision equipment used for studying gene technology and nanotechnology. Once Wu Haopletes the construction of thisboratory, he will possess one of the most advanced research facilities in the world, making mature gene technology and nanotechnology a reality.
With mature gene technology and nanotechnology, he is fully confident in researching and developing an element that can rapidly and effectively kill cancer cells without harming the body''s immune system.
Moreover, with mature gene technology and nanotechnology, there will be significant impacts in various fields. For example, gene technology can effectively reduce the harm caused by various human diseases, optimize and repair human genes, and enhance human physical abilities in various aspects.
In fact, researchboratories in both domestic and international settings have already acquired a certain level of rted technologies in the field of gene technology. Examples include cloning technology and nt improvement technology, which fall under the umbre of gene technology.
Nano-technology has also been applied to some high-precision raw materials. For example, core chips are manufactured using nanotechnology.
However, for Wu Hao to have such a researchboratory, the first problem he needs to solve is the energy supply for his base. Without sufficient energy, he won''t be able to manufacture the necessaryponents from raw materials. Therefore, energy is the foundation and the fundamental element for all technology.
With Wu Hao''s assurance, the school leader continued with some pleasantries and then signed a lease certificate and agreement with Wu Hao. After signing the agreement, Wu Hao wrote a cash check to the other party.
Since the school needed until the afternoon to prepare theboratory, Wu Hao nned to return to the hospital after signing the agreement to check on his father and inform his parents and sister that he might be busy for a few days.
However, shortly after Wu Hao entered the hospital, he encountered an acquaintance in the hallway. It was none other than Li Xiaoyun, who he had frequently been in contact with over the phone.
When Wu Hao noticed the other person, Li Xiaoyun also saw him, so she happily spoke first, "Brother Wu, I didn''t expect to run into you here. By the way, what brings you to the hospital?"
Since Wu Hao and Li Xiaoyun''sst phone call was a couple of days ago, Li Xiaoyun didn''t know much about Wu Hao''s situation. In fact, when they usually talked, Wu Hao rarely mentioned his family and personal matters. The topics they discussed were mostly greetings and other interesting subjects.
"Yes! I brought my father to the hospital for an examination. By the way, is your mother also in this hospital?" After the conversation they had, Wu Hao already knew that Li Xiaoyun had sought his help because of her mother, but he didn''t mention the specific hospital. That''s why he asked when he happened to encounter her in the hospital.
Chapter 65: Development of Medication
Chapter 65: Development of Medication
"Yes, today I came toplete the discharge procedures for my mother. Her surgery was very sessful, and she has almost fully recovered. She can now be discharged and return home for rest," Li Xiaoyun said simply, followed by a concerned question, "And how are the results of your father''s examination? Is his condition severe?"
Li Xiaoyun was deeply grateful to Wu Hao from the bottom of her heart. After all, when she made such a request, it was a great challenge to her self-esteem. But Wu Hao not only provided her with the greatest help but also saved her self-esteem. He didn''t take advantage of her vulnerability. Through their time together, her feelings towards Wu Hao had transformed from gratitude to admiration.
Upon hearing Li Xiaoyun''s inquiry, Wu Hao nodded and said, "It''s lung cancer. Although the situation is quite serious, it is still treatable." He naturally didn''t mention the experimental medication to her because Wu Hao was confident that he would find a way topletely cure his father in the future.
The medication he was currently researching in the rentedboratory could at least prevent the further spread of cancer cells in the patient''s body for a considerable period of time. This period would be around one to two years. However, once this time passed, it would be difficult to control these highly variable and resistant cancer cells if the medication was continued.
After all, cancer cells themselves possess antibodies that can counteract various drugs. Over time, these medications would struggle to resist the spread and erosion of cancer cells.
However, for Wu Hao, as long as he was given one to two years, he had no doubt that he could develop a method topletely eliminate cancer cells. With a breakthrough in gic technology, not only could hebat viruses within the human body, but he could also rece the entire human body with a new one while retaining the brain.
In fact, a human gic research institution in the United States had already conducted detailed research on this project. However, they had not made any significant breakthroughs yet.
As for cloning and artificial organs, they had already been applied in some medical cases, but these artificial organs were not particrly stable.
Regarding the concept of preserving only the human brain and recing the entire body to achieve a different form of rebirth, these institutions had already collected many volunteers worldwide, mostly people suffering from terminal illnesses who were nearing the end of their lives.
Their brains had been preserved in specific containers. If this technology were ever realized, these preserved brains would bebined withpletely new bodies. Whether it would be sessful or not remained unknown.
After all, these individuals were merely pioneers in the experiments. Essentially, they had already experienced death once, so even if the procedure failed, it could only be said that they were not fortunate enough to be reborn again.
However, as for how long it would take for these research institutions to make a breakthrough in this field, it was currently unknown. It could be a few years, ten years, or even several decades.
Of course, if Wu Hao had aplete and advancedboratory, he could shorten this process significantly. After all, Wu Hao''s brain was undoubtedly much more remarkable than those of the most renowned scientists in the world.
If even a mind with such forward-thinking cannot achieve it, then which scientist in this world can?
Afterward, Wu Hao continued to talk with Li Xiaoyun for a while before bidding farewell to each other. However, before parting ways, Li Xiaoyun also asked Wu Hao about the ward where his father was located, expressing her intention to visit afterpleting the discharge procedures for her mother.
Wu Hao had no reason to refuse this request. After all, he considered Li Xiaoyun as a friend or confidant. However, he informed her that he would be leaving the hospital in the afternoon to attend to some matters and might note to the hospital for the next few days.
Li Xiaoyun didn''t mind his absence. She simply wanted to show her concern, and whether he was there or not didn''t matter to her. After all, she would visit as his friend.
After arriving at the ward and visiting her father for a while, Wu Hao informed his mother and sister about his ns to leave for a few days.
His mother would stay at the hospital to take care of things during this time, and Wu Xiaoxiao would return to school the next day. However, Wu Hao couldn''t personally apany her this time. He could only let her take a car back to school and instructed her to call him if anything happened.
Although Wu Hao''s parents knew that he would be leaving for a few days, they didn''t inquire about the specifics. After all, Wu Hao was already an adult, and as parents, they couldn''t ask about everything in detail.
Moreover, since he was young, his parents rarely interfered with his affairs and would only advise him to be careful when he was away from home.
In the afternoon, Wu Hao arrived at theboratory on campus. The entire building where theboratory was located wasrge, and besides thisboratory, there were other researchboratories in various fields.
Thisboratory upied an entire floor of the building. However, now there was no one else inside except Wu Hao.
Upon entering theboratory, Wu Hao didn''t immediately start working. Instead, he carefully scanned the surroundings using his mental perception, checking for any hidden cameras or simr surveince devices.
After all, the means of his research that would follow could not be known to the outside world. It was normal for aboratory like this to be equipped with covert surveince devices.
As expected, after a thorough mental scan, Wu Hao discovered several monitoring cameras, but they were not currently operational.
Upon discovering this, Wu Hao didn''t disable the cameras. He simply covered them with some objects. The purpose of these cameras was mainly to prevent theft and unauthorized ess to theboratory. However, after receiving the notice that theboratory would be rented out, the personnel responsible for theboratory had deactivated these cameras.
Since entering the control room of theboratory would allow one to see all the closed-circuit devices in theboratory, there was no need for the surveince equipment to be activated now. Even if they needed to be activated, it would be done by the personnel using theboratory.
Chapter 66: Clinical Trials
Chapter 66: Clinical Trials
The following time, Wu Hao first checked the existing experimental materials in theboratory. After organizing and analyzing them, hepiled a list and started ordering the necessary ingredients.
These ingredients were not particrly special. In just a few hours, Wu Hao purchased all the materials he needed and then closed theboratory''s doors to begin his research.
This process would undoubtedly require a long period of experimentation because Wu Hao needed to cultivate various chemical substances and eventually synthesize an element that could prevent the spread of cancer cells.
To ensure that nothing unexpected happened during this process, Wu Hao had decided that he would stay in theboratory 24 hours a day for the next few days, without any other important matters to attend to.
Although the batches of goods he had previously ordered from abroad would gradually arrive in the country over the next few days, Wu Hao could simply use some means to have them temporarily stored in the logisticspany''s warehouse. It wouldn''t matter if he collected them after he finished his work.
He had already taken care of the origin and relevant customs procedures for these goods, so there shouldn''t be any problems during transportation.
If there had to be an issue, it would be if the transportation vehicles were involved in an ident, but the probability of such a situation was very low.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed. "Finally, it''s done!" Wu Hao eximed as he looked at the two test tubes filled with blue liquid in front of him, feeling relieved.
During these days, Wu Hao had barely left theboratory. He had been observing the changes in these chemical reagents as they interacted with each other. After all, he was the only person in theboratory, and there was no one else to oversee these tasks. He had toplete them by himself.
Fortunately, apart from a few minor issues, the entire development process had gone smoothly.
"Alright! The next step is to conduct a clinical trial." Although Wu Hao had confidence in the drug he had developed, he decided to conduct a clinical trial first before administering it to his father, in order to achieve further perfection.
So, during the early stages of development, he had prepared two doses of the medication.
As for finding subjects for the clinical trial, that was also an easy task. In the hospital, there were almost daily cases of individuals who couldn''t be cured of cancer and would soon pass away.
Since these individuals were destined to have only a few hours or even less time left, why not give them a chance to live one or two more years by conducting a clinical trial on them?
After all, Wu Hao had extensively calcted and simted this drug in his mind, and he could confirm with 100% certainty that even if it couldn''t kill cancer cells, it wouldn''t pose any substantial harm to the human body.
Therefore, this clinical trial was, in essence, a psychological effect on Wu Hao himself. After all, if he were to administer the drug to his own father, there would always be a hint of personal motive.
With this factor in mind, when humans tend to consider a problem, certain uncertainties arise in their minds.
With that, Wu Hao tidied up the traces of his experiments, ced the two vials of medication in a specialized container, and left theboratory to prepare to go to the hospital.
Upon arriving at his father''s ward, after a brief conversation, Wu Hao''s mother, with a curious expression, asked, "Son, what exactly is your rtionship with that girl, Xiaoyun?"
Wu Hao was slightly taken aback by the question. Only then did he recall that during his absence over the past few days, Li Xiaoyun must have already visited his father, and now his mother even thought there was something between them!
"Oh, this matter, Mom! Xiaoyun and I are just friends! Nothing more!" Wu Hao smiled and replied. ChatGPT
"Are you sure it''s just a friendship? It doesn''t seem that way to me! You''re not young anymore, and it''s about time you had a girlfriend. Besides, I think that girl is quite nice. She has been visiting your father every day these past few days! I''m sure she''s interested in you; otherwise, why would shee here every day and do all those things?"
Wu Hao smiled awkwardly upon hearing these words. He was well aware of Li Xiaoyun''s feelings for him, but at the moment, he didn''t have any romantic feelings toward her. He simply considered her as one of his few friends.
To be honest, over the years, Wu Hao hadn''t had any particrly close friends. He had one friend who got along well with him and was quite close, but they lost contact after high school graduation.
During his years in college, his rtionship with his roommates could only be described as ordinary ssmates, and there were even two among them who were quite annoying.
So, when it came to his former ssmates and such, Wu Hao would asionally exchange a few words in the group chat, but it was nothing substantial. During this period, Wu Hao hadn''t even spoken in the group chat. He would asionally nce at the various topics being discussed, but he had no interest in them.
As for the topics being discussed, they were mostly about working in certainpanies and sry-rted matters. Wu Hao had no interest in such discussions.
After listening to his mother''s nagging for a while, Wu Hao found an excuse to leave. He really didn''t want to discuss this topic with his mother. As for finding a girlfriend, Wu Hao could only leave it to fate for now. After all, he was still young.
In addition, after breaking up with his college girlfriend, Wu Hao had be quite indifferent towards romantic rtionships. He hadn''t told his parents about that rtionship during college. Initially, he had nned to inform them after graduating and securing a stable job, but it ended before that time came.
Moreover, after the breakup, the other person seemed to have deleted his phone number and QQ contact. The only means of contact was through the ss group chat.
However, during this period, Wu Hao hadn''t posted anything in the group chat. He no longer had any interest in knowing the current situation of the other person because it had be a thing of the past for him.
Chapter 67: Astonishing Discovery
Chapter 67: Astonishing Discovery
After inspecting the hospital that evening, Wu Hao found a suitable candidate for his clinical trial. The person was an elderly man in his sixties who was suffering from advanced-stage lung cancer.
The patient had already been receiving treatment at the hospital for some time and had undergone various therapies. His condition was now approaching its final stages.
The hospital had already issued a critical condition notice to the patient''s family, advising them to prepare for theirst meeting with him. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the patient''s vital signs would likely cease within the next two hours.
"Sir, although I have not obtained your consent for this, if sessful, you will gain an extra year or two of life," Wu Hao murmured to himself as he observed the situation in the ward through his mental perception.
Soon, taking advantage of a moment when the ward was empty, Wu Hao swiftly used his psychic powers to manipte a vial of medication and slowly injected it into the patient''s body using a syringe.
The entire processsted about two minutes, after which Wu Hao discreetly disposed of the syringe and other items in the hallway''s trash bin.
Since it waste at night, apart from a few doctors and nurses asionally traversing the corridors, few others were present.
Everything Wu Hao did was aplished using his psychic abilities, and he went unnoticed by anyone.
After about ten more minutes, a nurse who was conducting ward rounds entered the elderly man''s room. However, she only performed a routine check and did not notice anything unusual.
In fact, the medication that Wu Hao injected into the elderly man had just begun to take effect. By now, the patient was already in a state ofa, and perhaps only when these drugspletely controlled the cancer cells in his body would he regain consciousness.
The hospital had just issued the critical condition notice to him, and upon receiving the hospital''s notification, the patient''s family was currently on their way.
"Doctor, is my father really in such a critical condition?" Several men and women of different ages arrived at the hospital''s ward about half an hourter and inquired with the attending doctor.
"Your father experienced a rpse before. Despite timely treatment, given the current condition, it is unlikely he will survive tonight," the doctor replied with deep regret.
However, at that moment, the nurse who was performing routine checks on the patient suddenly saw the elderly man awaken and hurriedly called out to the doctor outside, "Dr. Zhou, the patient has regained consciousness!"
Dr. Zhou, who was conversing with the patient''s family, was clearly taken aback upon hearing this because, given the patient''s condition, the chances of waking up were extremely low.
Thest meeting was mentioned only for the family''s sake, and whether the patient would be able to have that final encounter was no longer guaranteed.
Afterward, despite still being weak, the elderly man showed significant improvementpared to the previous days.
This is because the cancer cells in his body have been controlled by the medication injected by Wu Hao. Although this element itself does not have the ability to kill the virus, it can encapste these viruses, preventing them from continuing to grow and stopping them from damaging the body.
It prevents the further division and growth of these cancer cells, protecting the body.
The medication developed by Wu Hao is a type that can disguise itself as a certain type of cell in the human body and attach to various organs. Therefore, the body''s immune system does not attack them.
The duration of this process will continue until the day when theypletely dissipate. At that time, if these cancer cells spread again, they will be more resistant to the medication. Unless any unforeseen circumstances ur, they will face a formidable battle against the immune system.
Meanwhile, the doctor on the side inquired about the patient and proceeded to conduct an examination. The results of this examination greatly surprised him.
Because through the preliminary examination, he discovered that the cancer cells, which had previously spread severely within the patient''s body, had miraculously been controlled by some element.
"How is this possible!" the doctor eximed.
"Doctor, what''s going on? By the way, my father has regained consciousness. How is he doing now?"
The doctor regained hisposure upon hearing this and replied, "For now, I can only tell you that your father''s condition has been stabilized, and there shouldn''t be any danger for the next few days. To draw a definite conclusion, we need to conduct further thorough examinations."
Upon hearing the doctor''s words, the family members of the patient also breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, they knew that their grandfather''s illness was impossible to cure.
But if they could find a way to extend his life by one more day, it would be an act of filial piety from their perspective as children.
Of course, this situation was possible only because of their financial circumstances. Otherwise, just the cost of hospitalization alone was a significant expense, not to mention the treatment costs that easily reached hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, whatever the hospital said, that was what it would be. There was absolutely no opportunity to negotiate the fees.
It''s not an exaggeration to say that hospitals nowadays are purely business-oriented. Whatever they say, are you going to haggle and offer less?
Even if someone is usually thrifty, once they enter the hospital, they must pay what is due, even more sometimes.
Hospitals nowadays always demand payment first before providing treatment. If you don''t have the money, then sorry, you have to wait in line and let the next persone forward.
Although there have been some healthcare reform measures in recent years to regte this aspect, how many hospitals can truly prioritize treating patients instead of discussing payment?
That evening, the doctor and other medical staff on duty conducted aplete examination of the patient once again. The final results surprised them even more.
Their research revealed that the cancer cells currently controlled by some element within the patient''s body would not rpse for at least the next year.
This discovery was tremendous for them! It meantplete control over all cancer cells, not just a portion.
Compared to the medications they had used before, it was like being miles ahead.
However, although they were shocked and excited, they still couldn''t understand theposition of the element within the patient''s body or where it came from.
Chapter 68: Investigation and Research
Chapter 68: Investigation and Research
On the other side, Wu Hao, who was guarding his father''s ward overnight, naturally witnessed everything that happened.
"It seems that the medication is going as expected, and there haven''t been any unexpected incidents. Since that''s the case, I can administer it to my father." In reality, Wu Hao''s slight concern waspletely unnecessary. The reason he prepared two doses of the medication was merely a psychological measure.
However, Wu Hao didn''t choose to administer the medication tonight because he needed evidence of his absence. So he could only wait until tomorrow night to secretly enter the hospital and administer it to his father using the same method.
Meanwhile, it was a sleepless night for some individuals in the hospital, namely the on-duty doctors and other medical staff.
As morning arrived, the hospital''s director, along with some department heads and attending physicians, gathered together to discuss the condition of the patient from the previous night.
"Dr. Zhou, have you thoroughly investigated the medication used by the patientst night?" the director asked.
"Director, we have checked the medication used by the patient in recent days, and everything appears to be normal. They were routine medications we use for tumor patients. Furthermore, we reviewed the surveince videos in the corridor from these past few days, and apart from the hospital staff and the patient''s family members, no one else had contact with the patient," Dr. Zhou hurriedly exined.
It turned out that after discovering the patient''s special conditionst night, Dr. Zhou immediately informed the director and others before examining the unusual medications the patient had recently used, as well as whether any strangers had contacted the patient.
Naturally, they found no abnormal situations. After all, everything Wu Hao did was controlled using telekinesis, including disposing of the injection tools in locations covered by corridor surveince cameras.
What clues could these individuals find? After all, there were no monitoring devices in the patient''s ward. Only the areas with frequent foot traffic, such as the corridors and elevators, had corresponding surveince facilities.
"What about the substance that is controlling the spread of cancer cells in the patient''s body? How is the research progressing?" In fact, it was no wonder the director and these doctors were so excited. After all, this was a revolutionary medication that couldpletely control the spread of cancer cells!
If they were to discover such a medication, they would undoubtedly be eligible for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, recognizing their significant contribution.
The main reason why the sess rate of tumor removal surgeries was low was because they couldn''t address the characteristic of tumors continuously spreading within the human body. Therefore, tumor removal surgeries usually only removed a portion of the tumor, while the remaining cancer cells in the body had a high possibility of recurring in the future.
Achievingplete tumor removal through surgery alone was impossible. The best they could do was remove a portion, and then the remaining few cancer cells could potentially be eradicated through medication and the body''s own immune response.
However, tumor removal surgeries were generally only effective for early or mid-stage patients. If the cancer cells had spread extensively in the body, the sess rate of the surgery was almost zero.
Moreover, not all tumors could be removed through surgery; it depended on the location and distribution of the tumor. If the tumors grew in critical areas of the body, the risks of the surgery increased significantly, and there was a chance the patient could die during the operation.
However, the medication that Wu Hao had invented, which couldpletely control the spread of cancer cells, had the potential to improve the sess rate of surgeries.
However, Wu Hao didn''t have much confidence in this surgical method to treat the disease because using surgery to address various medical conditions is not the best medical approach.
If one day humanity develops gene therapy or nanomedical technology, this surgical method, except for injuries caused by foreign objects, will be abandoned for treating various ailments.
As for injuries caused by foreign objects, they can be removed through surgery, but it doesn''t necessarily involve cutting off a part of the body. With the help of gene therapy and nanotechnology, these medical conditions can be effectively addressed.
However, these advancements are only expected to happen in the future. Even being able to increase the chances of recovery at present is already a significant breakthrough.
Regarding the discussions within the hospital, Wu Hao is naturally unaware. But even without knowing the specifics, he can guess that the hospital will definitely investigate this matter.
Moreover, the investigation will be conducted secretly, and they probably won''t make it public until they have concrete results.
On that evening, Wu Hao arrived at the hospital building. In the garden downstairs, he silently administered the medication to his father using his mental perception and telekinesis.
Since his father was hospitalized, his overall health had significantly deteriorated. Regardless of the specific ailment, once a person is admitted to the hospital, their overall physical condition can''tpare to before.
The primary factor causing this is undoubtedly the hospital environment. An environment can alter a person''s entire state, and it''s not something to be taken lightly.
Of course, in some cases, hospitalization is unavoidable, such as for acute or frequently recurring conditions. In these situations, it is necessary to be admitted to ensure prompt emergency treatment during episodes.
However, for chronic conditions, it is best to avoid hospitalization as much as possible because hospitals are not conducive toplete patient recovery. While hospitals are ces for saving lives and providing care, they are also hotspots for various diseases, viruses, and pathogens. How can one expect to fully recover while staying in such an environment?
In my personal opinion, hospitals in the future should be divided into two types. One would be dedicated to amodating patients with acute conditions that require immediate treatment. The other would be specialized in providing rehabilitation and recovery for patients with chronic illnesses. Patients who require observation or long-term care should be admitted to thetter type of facility.
On that evening, after Wu Hao administered the medication to his father, he continued to observe for a while. Only when he sensed through his mental perception that his father''s cancer cells werepletely under control, did he leave with peace of mind.
Chapter 69: Everything Depends on Fate
Chapter 69: Everything Depends on Fate
After leaving the hospital and returning to the hotel, Wu Hao finally rxed after days of tension. "Since my father''s condition is temporarily under control, I should arrange for his discharge in a few days. After taking care of these matters, I need to quickly get my base up and running."
Now Wu Hao''s top priority is to develop a method topletely eradicate cancer cells. His aircraft project will naturally take a back seat for now.
After all, the current medication can only control cancer cells for one to two years. It would be best if he could find a solution to this problem earlier.
He needs to leave some time for himself to deal with any unexpected situations. Therefore, Wu Hao''s immediate task is to get his base operational as soon as possible and start manufacturing equipment rted to gic medicine and nanotechnology research.
Most of this equipment cannot be obtained through normal means, and the existing devices in the world cannot meet Wu Hao''s needs. Therefore, he can only slowly manufacture these devices himself, and to achieve that, he needs to get his base up and running.
Two dayster, the hospital learned about Wu Hongguo''s situation. After a series of examinations, the hospital obtained the same results as the previous patient.
"Mr. Wu, although your father''s condition is indeed under control, we still hope he can continue to stay in the hospital for further observation. After all, we haven''t fully understood your father''s specific condition," said Zhang Hua, the attending physician responsible for Wu Hongguo''s treatment, upon hearing that Wu Hao intended to arrange for his father''s discharge. Naturally, he tried to persuade him to stay.
After all, Wu Hongguo''s situation is identical to that of the previous patient. Before they fully understand the specific circumstances, the hospital naturally wants to keep them for observation and research.
Wu Hao was well aware of the hospital''s intentions. Understanding this, how could he possibly leave his father in the hospital to be used as a guinea pig for their research?
"No need, Dr. Zhang. The decision to discharge is not mine alone. In fact, my father has wanted to leave the hospital for a while now. His health has also recovered quite well in the past two days, so there''s no need for him to continue staying in the hospital," Wu Hao politely refused the proposal.
"If you insist on arranging for the discharge, then I won''t insist. However, I hope your father cane to our hospital for regr check-ups every month. It will help us monitor histest condition," Zhang Hua reluctantly said, nodding his head.
He could tell that Wu Hao was determined to have his father discharged, so he naturally couldn''t force the issue. In addition to Wu Hongguo, the other patient and their family had agreed to continue the hospitalization observation. The hospital had promised to waive all future medical expenses to ensure theirpliance.
Although the cancer cells in the other patient''s body were under control, their age and the prolonged medication had left their overall physical condition in a poor state. The patient''s family was aware of these circumstances. If they were to take the patient home, they would require dedicated personnel to take care of them. If any unforeseen circumstances were to arise, they wouldn''t be able to handle them promptly.
Since the hospital was waiving all expenses now, they naturally agreed to the hospital''s request.
When Wu Hao heard Zhang Hua''s words, he did not object. There was no problem with having a monthly check-up.
Afterpleting the necessary discharge procedures, Wu Hao drove his parents back to their hometown. Once he returned home, he spoke to his father.
"Dad! You and Mom don''t need to worry about the farming tasks at home anymore. As for the management of the hills behind, we can hire people from the vige to take care of it. I''ll talk to the vige chief about itter and ask him to arrange it."
"Alright, I''ll listen to you. I''ll just focus on recovering at home from now on!" Wu Hongguo agreed without refusing. After all, he wasn''t stubborn. In his current condition, there was no need for him to engage in any farm work.
Moreover, now that his son had the ability and the family''s financial situation had improved, there was no need for him to adapt to a life of leisure at home. It might have taken some time to adjust before falling ill, but now that his physical condition didn''t allow it, he wouldn''t insist.
"Well, Dad, you should rx at home and have peace of mind. Your health will definitely improve," Wu Hao firmly nodded.
At this moment, Zhang Hun, who was standing nearby, spoke up, "Son, your father will be taken care of, so you don''t need to worry. You should consider finding a partner. I think Xiaoyun is a good choice."
Wu Hao felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this and could only reply, "I understand, Mom. I will consider it. This matter doesn''t need to be rushed; it depends on fate..."
"Why rely on fate! I think Xiaoyun and you have a good connection. She''s beautiful and filial. What more could you ask for?" Zhang Hun could clearly tell that Wu Hao''s words were just a perfunctory response and red at him.
"Alright, don''t push him. When he wants to pursue a rtionship, he will. It''s no use rushing him," Wu Hongguo, who was next to them, appeared more open-minded. Although he also thought Zhang Hun''s suggestion was good, since his son didn''t have such ns or intentions, he wouldn''t force the issue.
"You... I don''t know what to say to you..." Zhang Hun opened her mouth but ultimately didn''t know how to continue. After all, Wu Hongguo was still unaware of the true nature of his illness, and everything appeared rtively open to him.
But Zhang Hun, who knew the truth, was different. The reason she was so eager for Wu Hao to find a wife was that she hoped to have grandchildren as soon as possible, considering Wu Hongguo''s limited time left...
However, Wu Hao waspletely focused on curing his father''s illness, so he naturally didn''t take this into consideration. In his view, he was still young, and it was too early to think about such matters.
After some excuse, Wu Hao left. First, he found the vige chief and entrusted him to help find someone to manage the nted fruit seedlings and medicinal herbs in the hills.
Chapter 70: The Birth of ‘Source’
Chapter 70: The Birth of ¡®Source¡¯
After finishing these tasks, Wu Hao went to see the situation in the newly renovated vi. The vi had been cleaned and organized two days ago.
Now, all that was left was to purchase some furniture and household items to move in directly. However, Wu Hao didn''t n to have his parents move into the vi immediately.
Although he had instructed the construction team in charge of the vi''s construction to use non-toxic materials for interior decoration, even the best materials on the market were notpletely toxin-free and pollution-free. Therefore, it would be best to wait for some time before moving into the newly renovated house.
However, Wu Hao could start by furnishing the vi with furniture and various facilities. After one or two months, he could move in directly.
In the next two days, Wu Hao ordered aplete set of high-end furniture and various electrical appliances from a supplier in the province. Since the items he purchased were not cheap, several merchants offered home delivery and instation services.
For furniture, Wu Hao chose top-grade mahogany furniture, which cost several million yuan for the entire vi. Of course, his parents were unaware of the high price of the furniture. As for electrical appliances, Wu Hao selected brands that were currently known for their good quality andplete functionality.
However, most of the appliances were domestically produced because he didn''t want any Japanese brands. While domestic brands may be slightly inferior to Japanese brands in various aspects, Wu Hao''s requirements were not that high. Even if there were any quality issues, he could afford to rece them with new ones. In any case, he wouldn''t choose products manufactured by the Japanese.
After taking care of the matters at home, Wu Hao informed his parents that he would be leaving for some time and might only return during the Chinese New Year. He also told them to call him if they needed anything.
Upon hearing that Wu Hao would be leaving again, his elderly parents didn''t object. They simply reminded him to be careful. The next day, Wu Hao drove away from his hometown and this time he didn''t go to the previous small town but instead parked at a parking lot in the city.
Last time, he had parked his car in that small town because it was closer to the mountains, and his telekic abilities were not as powerful as they are now, nor was his flying speedparable.
With his current enhanced flying speed and abilities, a flight distance of a few hundred kilometers posed no problem for him. As long as he took off from a sparsely popted area in the outskirts of the city at night and flew at a low altitude along densely vegetated and sparsely popted areas, there would be no issues.
After all, the role that satellites can y at night is still very limited. Even though there are military reconnaissance satellites that can perform various imaging and reconnaissance tasks at night, they are only used for specific purposes.
During normal times, it is not feasible to constantly focus on specific areas for reconnaissance. Moreover, satellites that conduct continuous reconnaissance on a fixed location are usually high-orbit satellites. The farther they are from Earth, the worse their reconnaissance effectiveness bes.
Satellites that continuously photograph and survey various parts of the Earth belong to low-orbit satellites, and it takes several hours to capture images of the same location.
Two dayster, inside the "Yuan" base, Wu Hao went to the base warehouse and meticulously organized the raw materials and electronicponents he had purchased from various countries overseas.
This base, located deep in the Qinling Mountains and devoid of any signs of human presence, was officially named "Yuan" by Wu Hao. As the name implies, this base would serve as the initial source for his future development.
"Hmm! It''s a good thing I made preparations beforehand. The quantities of electronicponents and raw materials I ordered are quite substantial. Once I solve the issue of the base''s energy supply, I can start using these raw materials and electronicponents to create a small-scale integrated high-tech industry chain! This way, I should be able to manufacture various equipment needed for theboratory within six months at most. However, it seems that the base will need to be expanded again."
In fact, ording to Wu Hao''s original n, he didn''t intend to establish arge-scaleboratory immediately. His original n was just to build a flying apparatus for himself.
Although the construction of this flying apparatus seemedplex, overall, it was much easier than building arge-scaleboratory.
After all, Wu Hao''s flying apparatus didn''t require considerations for a propulsion system. He only needed to focus on the research of materials and stealth coatings for the flying apparatus.
As for the internal electronic systems of the flying apparatus, such as satellite navigation and positioning, they could be achieved through the electronicponents he had purchased.
However, building arge-scaleboratory was an entirely different concept. It required various research equipment and apparatus.
These research equipment and apparatus couldn''t be conjured out of thin air. Wu Hao not only needed to conduct research and improvements using the existing equipment in the world, but also equip his base with the capability to independently develop and produce some importantponents.
To achieve this, the base must have aplete industrial chain for processing and manufacturing raw materials.
For example, if a country wants to manufacture an aircraft, it must first have processing factories for various raw materials, as well as researchbs and other processes.
To put it simply, aplete industrial production system is necessary to manufacture the required equipment and weapons. Currently, only a few countries in the world can achieve this, and Huaxia is one of them.
Simrly, if Wu Hao wants to independently research and manufacture these high-tech devices and instruments, he also needs aplete industrial chain.
Of course, Wu Hao''s base is limited in size, so he will have to find ways to simplify many processes.
For example, when producing variousponents, he can use matching 3D printing devices to aplish the task.
The required raw materials can be purchased domestically or internationally, reducing the issue of sourcing materials within Wu Hao''s base.
The remaining challenge is to consider how to improve the corresponding 3D printing devices for producing theseponents. After all, with the current existing 3D printing technologies in the world, this goal cannot be achieved.
Therefore, Wu Hao must independently develop more advanced 3D printing devices. Most of the electronicponents and materials he purchasedst time were specifically for manufacturing 3D printing devices. After all, 3D printing devices are the "industrial mothership" of all the technology in his base.
Chapter 71: Controllable Fusion Energy
Chapter 71: Controble Fusion Energy
Regardless of whether he wants to manufacture aircraft or various research equipment, he must rely on these 3D printing devices toplete the task.
However, Wu Hao''s current goal is not to manufacture such advanced printing devices because his base''s current conditions do not allow it.
Only by first solving the energy problem can he gradually proceed with all the subsequent work. After organizing all the materials andponents in the warehouse, Wu Hao began to consider how to solve the energy issue at the base. It is certain that the base''s energy needs a nuclear reactor for power generation, but there are several types of nuclear reactors.
With the technologies currently mastered by several nuclear powers in the world, they have only achieved a certain level of control in the field of thermonuclear fusion. As for nuclear fusion, with the technology currently avable to humanity, it can only be used as a weapon, known as a "light egg."
The explosion of a light egg is an uncontroble nuclear fusion process.
The reactors currently used by humans for power generation are based on nuclear fission, which is a more stable and controble process.
However, controlled nuclear fusion is still under research. Although in recent years, many scientists around the world have imed to have developed controble fusion energy technology, achieving this specific goal will still require another ten to twenty years because the requirements for nuclear fusion power generation are numerous.
However, in recent years, Lockheed Martin, apany in the United States, has stated that they are researching a fusion reaction device that is only the size of a truck container. If sessful, the electricity generated by this reactor would be sufficient to meet the needs of a small city.
ording to thepany''s n, it should be officially put into use within the next ten years, but its sess is still uncertain. Nevertheless, the technology of controble nuclear fusion has been under study by humanity for several decades, and we are now close to mastering and utilizing this energy source.
Although the final implementation may still take some time, this technology is generally considered to be one that humanity is close to achieving. As for the theoretical technology of nuclear cold fusion reactors, it is still purely in the theoretical stage, with only a few stubborn physicists quietly conducting research on it. The problem Wu Hao is facing now is whether he should directly establish a more stable fission reactor than all current nuclear fission technologies to provide energy to his base, or spend more time researching controble nuclear fusion technology.
Originally, ording to Wu Hao''s n, he only intended to build a fission reactor to provide energy, but a fission reactor would generate severe radiation pollution, which would greatly affect his future researchboratory.
After all, Wu Hao''sboratory is dedicated to researching biogic drugs, and having such aboratory located next to a nuclear power facility, even with good radiation protection measures, would still have a significant impact. "Forget it, let''s focus on researching controble nuclear fusion! After all, this matter can be done sooner orter," Wu Hao thought for a moment and decided to prioritize the study of controble nuclear fusion. If it were only for the purpose of manufacturing aircraft, he wouldn''t be so eager for fusion energy, as he already possessed a highly refined nuclear fission technology.
Nuclear fusion is still just an idea for him at the moment.
However, human research on controble nuclear fusion has reached a stage where sess is imminent. If he further improves upon this foundation, the issue won''t be too challenging for Wu Hao.
Nuclear fusion, the raw material involved is notplicated either; it is the energy generated by thebination of two different atoms.
Nuclear fission, on the other hand, is the energy generated by splitting an atom into two.
However,pared to fission, fusion not only generates higher energy but is also cleaner and more environmentally friendly, without any gas emissions or pollution.
However, the conditions required for nuclear fusion reactions are extremely demanding and require extremely high temperatures and pressures to be achieved. This fusion process exists in nature, as the sun generates its powerful light and heat through this method. Therefore, controlled nuclear fusion is often referred to as an artificial sun.
Currently, the main approach for humans to achieve nuclear fusion is by usingsers to generate temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees and creating an electromaic device to create a maic field that contains this high temperature and pressure, enabling fusion reactions between hydrogen isotopes, deuterium, and tritium. As for the fusion approach used in nuclear fusion weapons, known as "light egg," it is rtively simple and violent. In this case, a small atomic bomb is ced inside the light egg, and the bomb is detonated, causing high temperatures and pressures that trigger fusion reactions between hydrogen atoms inside the light egg, resulting in a series of high-temperature explosions and intense nuclear radiation.
Since Wu Hao has decided to study nuclear fusion, he naturally wastes no time.
First, he created a high-frequency satellite signal receiving station for his base. The materials for making this receiver were obtained from the materials he previously ordered.
Although hisptop could receive satellite signals in certain locations in the Qinling Mountains, it becamepletely ineffective inside the base.
Therefore, in order for the base to have constant ess to satelliteworks, he needed to set up a signal receiving station. Wu Hao''s receiving station is notrge and is located in a concealed position outside the base on a mountain.
After setting up the satellite signal receiving station, Wu Hao proceeded to assemble a high-performanceputer himself.
Apart from the chips he purchased from abroad, other electronicponents and disys were bought domestically. These items are rtivelymon, and since Wu Hao has no ns to build a supeputer or require top-of-the-line hardware, there is no need for excessive equipment.
Moreover, many domestically produced hardwareponents are of good quality, as demonstrated by our country''s self-developed supeputer Tianhe series...
Chapter 72: The Enigma of Matter
Chapter 72: The Enigma of Matter
Of course, purchasing hardware for building supeputers domestically is not easy. Fortunately, Wu Hao has already purchased some basic raw materials for manufacturing supeputers from abroad.
However, Wu Hao didn''t directly purchase finished products like motherboards. Instead, he redesigned and manufactured them himself.
Currently, he doesn''t need a supeputer yet, and until the energy issue in the base is resolved, there isn''t enough power to operate such a behemoth.
The electricity used in the base is generated by two diesel generators that Wu Hao purchased. However, the power provided by these two generators is quite limited, barely enough to meet his needs.
If there is an energy shortage during the construction of the reactor, Wu Hao might have to act as a manualborer several times.
For Wu Hao, assembling aputer is a very easy task. Although his currentputer appears crude,cking a proper casing (a so-called "bare machine"), it doesn''t affect its operational capability.
At least its processing speed is much stronger than his previousptop, and therger disy makes it more convenient for Wu Hao to operate.
"Hmm? So, this Italian physicist actually coincidentally achieved a very brief cold fusion reaction technology." After searching through the inte for current research on nuclear fusion, Wu Hao gained a general understanding of the situation.
He also learned about the rough details of those news circting on the inte, such as the physicist iming to have achieved cold fusion reactor technology. After a brief understanding, Wu Hao realized that the physicist had indeed achieved an extraordinary cold fusion reaction.
However, this was merely a coincidence, and he himself had no idea about the specific process and principles. Therefore, it was unlikely for anyone to believe him.
After reviewing some information, a clear train of thought gradually formed in Wu Hao''s mind. He began calcting various methods to achieve fusion reactions in his brain.
Wu Hao didn''t n to fullyprehend cold fusion technology all at once. After all, even with his current abilities, it would require continuous research and experimentation to eventually achieve this seemingly futuristic technology.
However, he couldn''t determine the time it would take. So, Wu Hao''s goal was to study the technology of thermonuclear fusion.
The implementation of this technology was already quite clear, with the main challenge being how to improve the process of high-temperature and high-pressure transformation and ultimately generate power to drive the generator set.
Though the problems involved were fewerpared to cold fusion, Wu Hao still needed to carefully consider and refine the solutions.
After all, the internal space of his base was limited, and both the fusion reactor and the corresponding power generation equipment needed to be aspact as possible while ensuring optimal functionality.
In this way, Wu Hao began utilizing his brain''sputing power, equivalent to that of a supeputer, continuously conducting various calctions and simted experiments. While simting with his brain, Wu Hao also recorded and organized key issues on hisputer for future analysis andputation.
Wu Hao possesses a superpower that no scientist currently has: regardless of the research topic, he doesn''t need to conduct various experiments like other scientists do.
He only needs to continuously utilize his brain''sputing power and analytical abilities to conduct experiments in his mind.
The role of many supeputers nowadays is simr to this, but humans haven''t fully utilized the potential of supeputers. They simply cannot fully unleash the capabilities of a supeputer.
Additionally, simtion and analytical abilities are not yet fully developed and cannotpare to Wu Hao''s brainputing power.
After all, even the most powerful supeputer in terms ofputational ability still requires human operators.
Wu Hao''s brainputing power only requires a single instantaneous thought to start rapid mental calctions.
Therefore, Wu Hao''s research speed is naturally much faster than that of many scientists working together.
For some technologies that humans currently want to achieve, it may take ten years, decades, or even centuries. However, if Wu Hao were to research them, it might only take a few years, a few months, or even less time topletely devise a more advanced technology.
...
While Wu Hao immersed himself in researching his nuclear fusion reaction technology within the base, hundreds of kilometers away, in a hospital in Rong City, the hospital director and several chief doctors were still conducting research and discussions on a substance that couldpletely control the spread of cancer cells.
"Director, although we have conducted multiple studies and investigations on this patient in recent days, we still have no clue about the substance in this patient''s body that can inhibit the spread of cancer cells."
"And we have reviewed all the surveince videos in the hospital over the past month, but we haven''t found any suspicious individuals who had contact with this patient or administered any other drugs to them," regretfully reported the chief doctor to the director.
"It seems difficult for our hospital to fully understand this substance within the patient''s body," sighed the director, expressing regret in his tone. If their hospital could research and master this substance that controls the spread of cancer cells, it would bring tremendous fame and benefits to both the hospital and individuals involved.
However, they hadn''t found the specific reason behind the cancer cell control in the bodies of these two patients, nor had they discovered any suspicious individuals who had interacted with them.
Contemting this, the director pondered for a moment and continued, "Everyone, organize the data in your hands and the substances extracted from the patients'' bodies. Share them with some domestic research institutes, so that they can jointly study and try to figure out how this substance is formed and works. Otherwise, relying solely on our hospital''s capabilities, it would be difficult to find the final answer."
The director realized that it was impossible for their hospital to monopolize this honor. Although they had researchboratories internally, they were not the most professional ones in the country.
Since their hospital had no way forward, he would have to report the situation to higher authorities and let other research institutes coborate in studying the formation and specific principles of this substance.
Because, currently, this substance that can control the spread of cancer cells belongs to apletely unknown category. They have no clue about its specific principles at all.
Chapter 73: Design Completed
Chapter 73: Design Completed
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two weeks have passed. During these two weeks, Wu Hao has mostly focused on perfecting various aspects of thermal nuclear fusion power generation.
After numerous simtions and experiments conducted in his mind, Wu Hao has finally settled on a final manufacturing n. If this n, as envisioned in his mind, is sessfully constructed, the entire nuclear fusion reactor, along with the associated energy conversion and turbine generator units, would only upy a volume roughly equivalent to three shipping containers.
The reactor device itself would be a circr apparatus of approximately 2x2 meters, while the remaining facilities would consist entirely of energy conversion and rted generator units.
However, despite its small size, once this 2x2-meter reactor device operates at full capacity, it can generate a substantial amount of energy. Wu Hao''s preliminary estimate suggests that it could produce a power supply of 5 million kilowatt-hours in a day.
Such a vast amount of electricity would be more than sufficient to meet the power demands of a medium-sized city. In other words, once this fusion energy generation facility ispleted, Wu Hao''s base would no longer need to worry about energy supply issues. Even if he were to expand his base several times over, the power generated would still be more than enough.
"Finally, all the design work ispleted, and now it''s time to begin the actual construction," Wu Hao remarked. Although it took him half a month of non-stop research, the results were extremely satisfying.
After all, in just two weeks, Wu Hao achieved scientific progress that would typically take humanity a decade or even longer to aplish.
Moreover, the controlled nuclear fusion device developed by Wu Hao is not just suitable for power generation. If utilized as the power source for warships, submarines, and aircraft carriers, it would undoubtedly be more powerful and secure than the current fission-based nuclear submarines and carriers.
Maintaining power for nuclear submarines and carriers, which rely on fission reactors, requires a constant presence of personnel to perform various tasks. They not only have to deal with the radiation threat posed by these fission reactors but also face the fact that the power output of fusion reactors far surpasses that of fission reactors whenparing the same amount of raw materials used for both reactions.
Considering the limited manpower at his base, Wu Hao intends to design an intelligent maintenance system for the fusion reactor. This system would utilize robots and intelligent programs to handle daily power generation and maintenance tasks. If any issues arise that the robots cannot resolve, the system would promptly provide feedback to Wu Hao for his personal attention.
This way, Wu Hao would be informed in a timely manner and be able to address the problems personally.
For Wu Hao, manufacturing robots poses no significant challenge. He isn''t trying to create powerful and highly intelligentbat robots like Iron Man. Instead, he is focused on producing industrial manufacturing and maintenance robots, simr to those already utilized in many modern factories and other fields.
These robots are primarily constructed using simple mechanical arms and intelligent chips. The ones Wu Hao is currently manufacturing are also equipped with basic mobility capabilities. Their role would be to clean various areas of the base and manage and maintain different facilities in his absence, so they only need to possess a certain level of intelligence.
However, the matter of robots must be put aside for now. The crucial task at hand is to manufacture the fusion reactor, along with the corresponding energy conversion devices and turbine generator units.
"Well! To manufacture the fusion reactor and other rted turbine and generator equipment, I''ll need to assemble a basic 3D printing device." Building the reactor and variousponents requires many alloy metal parts.
Wu Hao didn''t purchase ready-made metal parts; instead, he bought primarily raw metal materials and some electronicponents.
After all, manufacturing electronicponents is more challengingpared to metal parts, and although creating various shaped metal parts is also challenging for others, it is much simpler for Wu Hao. First, he melts the metal materials using appropriate smelting equipment, then, with the assistance of his telekinesis, he pours and molds them. For precision machining, he uses his telekinesis to control tools such as drills, milling cutters, and other metalworking tools, achieving high uracy in the shaping process.
One could say that Wu Hao''s telekinesis, mental perception abilities, and his brain''sputational power together create a one-of-a-kind, ultra-high-precision, fully automated machine tool.
His telekinesis serves as the power system that drives the rotation and machining of various tool des, mental perception enables him to control all the details of the machining process, and his brain''s abilities naturally create the blueprints and perform the necessary calctions.
Therefore, Wu Hao only needs to ensure that the metals are melted and molded into the desired form. This function can be aplished by assembling a simple 3D metal printing device.
Currently, there are some advanced 3D metal printing devices in the world that can directly print finishedponents. For example, many aircraft and aerospaceponents are produced using 3D metal printing.
However, theserge-scale, high-precision 3D printing devices are controlled by governments, and it is almost impossible for individuals to acquire them. Theponents and electronic elements Wu Hao purchased overseas are important parts such as print heads andser devices for this type of printing equipment.
Although acquiring these items is challenging, it is still much easierpared to obtaining aplete device.
Of course, besides metal printing, there are also 3D printing devices for other materials, such as stics andposite materials. These devices primarily print equipment casings and a few other smallponents.
Currently, Wu Hao doesn''t n to directly manufacture aplete 3D printing device. Given his base''s current production capacity, while it is technically feasible, it would be very troublesome and require significant effort on his part.
Furthermore, even if he managed to create one, it would require a substantial energy supply. The base is currently powered by several diesel generators, which constantly rumble and create a continuous noise.
Although Wu Hao has dedicated a specific space for these diesel generators and implemented some soundproofing measures, there is still noticeable noise.
Chapter 74: Fusion Power Generation Equipment
Chapter 74: Fusion Power Generation Equipment
With the superpowers of telekinesis and mental perception, Wu Hao swiftly assembled a simple 3D metal printing and smelting device.
In less than 20 minutes, Wu Haopleted the assembly and directed all avable power to this makeshift 3D metal printing device. Since a considerable amount of electricity is required to fully melt the metal raw materials and proceed with the printing process, Wu Hao turned off all theputers and lights in the base, saving power exclusively for the 3D metal printing device.
Due to his telekic and mental perception abilities, whether the lights were on or off made no difference to his work. However, if the base had sufficient electricity, he naturally preferred a bright working space.
Soon, Wu Hao officially began his work. The first task was to manufacture the shell device for the fusion reactor. The spherical shape of this shell was highlyplex, with intricate internal structures and metal pipelines connecting to the outer gate. Inside this metal structure were multipleyers of devices, with the maic field device at the core.
In the following week, Wu Hao tirelessly manufactured the reactor, energy conversion units, turbine generator sets, cooling systems, and other rted devices from scratch. The number ofponents required for these devices was extensive, necessitating a significant amount of metal raw materials. Therefore, while manufacturing, Wu Hao had to purchase arge quantity of metal raw materials.
Fortunately, the metal materials Wu Hao chose were not restricted military-grade special metals. He directly ced orders with somerge steel mills in China and had them delivered to Chang''an City, the nearest city to his location.
During the evenings, Wu Hao took on the role of aborer, as these metal masses, although notrge in volume, were quite heavy. Thus, Wu Hao could only carry a limited quantity each time.
A few tons of metal steel seemed like a small amount, but in reality, it was quite substantial. Therefore, Wu Hao had to spend several hours every evening transporting the materials.
Some of the purchased metal steel did not meet the requirements for manufacturing certainponents, so Wu Hao had to melt them down and add some rare metals to enhance their strength and hardness. Although this only provided a slight improvement and not a significant enhancement, it was sufficient for now. At most, it would slightly reduce the lifespan of theponents. However, once Wu Hao had a stable energy supply in his base, developing stronger metal materials would not be a difficult task.
For instance, Wu Hao was already capable of manufacturing the specialized metals currently controlled by various countries. However, mass production would require additional equipment and facilities.
Therefore, Wu Hao''s base could only produce small quantities of special alloys, which could only be used for criticalponents. The keyponents Wu Hao was currently using were mostly purchased, as he did not possess the capability to manufacture them himself.
After a week''s time, Wu Haopleted the construction of the reactor. The remaining tasks involved converting the reactor''s energy into mechanical energy and driving the generator to produce electricity.
ording to the current progress, Wu Hao estimated that he would need another week toplete these tasks. Moreover, since he was working on a nuclear fusion reactor, the raw materials for the reaction were much more straightforward than before.
This was because the raw materials used in nuclear fusion were deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen. Deuterium, in particr, is abundant in nature, with the highest concentration found in the world''s oceans.
So, for Wu Hao, obtaining the raw materials for nuclear fusion is much simpler than obtaining fission materials. He can acquire them domestically because even if ordinary people manage to buy them, they would be useless.
"You say you want to use them to create **? Well, if you want to detonate **, you would need to manufacture an atomic bomb first."
In fact, many countries abroad have numerous nuclear physics enthusiasts who privately build small-scale fusion reactors in their homes, garages, and other ces. However, the reactions they create can only achieve simple light and heat, incapable of releasing significant amounts of energy.
After all, even now, with substantial investments and extensive resources mobilized by countries worldwide, achieving practical fusion energy remains elusive. These private experts, no matter how skilled they are, can only mimic the process.
If they truly possessed this technology, they would have been recruited by their respective countries to assist in the development of fusion energy long ago.
However, once Wu Hao''s fusion reactor starts operating normally, he will need a dedicated facility to extract the raw materials. By that time, the quantity of materials he needs will inevitably increase, and solely relying on purchasing or other means will not be practical.
In this way, Wu Hao once again busied himself for six days before finallypleting thest step. Although he hadn''t officially started the fusion reactor power generation system he designed, he wasn''t worried about it malfunctioning after activation because he had thoroughly simted and experimented with it in his mind.
Throughout the continuous manufacturing process over the past ten days, all the parts and structures were meticulously calcted and confirmed before being assembled.
"I didn''t work in vain. Once this fusion reactor starts up, the entire base won''t have to worry about electricity anymore. Those noisy diesel generators can be melted down for raw materials." After days of continuous work, Wu Hao was naturally exhausted.
From the initial design to the finalpletion, it took about a month. The speed of manufacturing was possible thanks to his telekinesis and mental perception abilities.
Without telekinesis to assist him, even with a highly detailed blueprint in his mind and a strong industrial foundation, it would be impossible for Wu Hao toplete a fusion power generation facility in less than half a year or a year.
Processing theseponents alone is a highlyplex and tedious task, and during the final manual assembly, detailed adjustments and debugging are necessary.
Not to mention constructing a high-tech facility like a nuclear fusion reactor, even installing andmissioning equipment such as power lines and other rted devices in general engineering projects requires a significant amount of time before they can officially operate.
Chapter 75: A Gift for Family
Chapter 75: A Gift for Family
After all, ordinary people don''t possess the telekic and mental perception abilities like Wu Hao. Only someone like him, who can wlessly perform all the procedures without any errors, can have such confidence to start the operation once all the instations arepleted.
Soon, as Wu Hao input all the electric power into the fusion reactor, the fusion reaction began to ur within the reactor due to the extremely high temperature and pressure.
The interior of the reactor started to emit a bright light and intense heat, resembling a miniature sun.
The immense heat immediately acted upon the steam generator, generating a powerful airflow. Through special pipelines, the airflow was transported into the turbine, which, in turn, powered the generators to produce a tremendous amount of electricity, creating a continuous cycle.
Some of the electricity was directed to Wu Hao''s previously builtrge-scale battery after going through the voltage conversion equipment, while the rest directly supplied power to all the electrical devices in the base.
In an instant, the entire base was illuminated, as there hadn''t been much light since Wu Hao started the manufacturing process half a month ago.
Previously, only a few small LED lights were used for illumination throughout the base, which paled inparison to the current situation.
"Not bad. Everything is just as I expected, without any significant deviations," Wu Hao observed the well-functioning fusion reactor and the corresponding power generation system, feeling quite satisfied.
After all, it was the result of his month-long hard work, and achieving it in such a short period of time was a feat only he could aplish.
However, the fusion reactor was not operating at full capacity yet because the base''s power consumption rate didn''t require it.
During this period, Wu Hao had barely had any contact with the outside world except for asionally calling his family to check on them. As for his documentary, he had already sent it to several authorized media organizations a long time ago, so he no longer needed to release it every week.
Approximately half of the footage he had recorded had already been broadcasted, which meant he still had around two months to start shooting again.
However, the filming process was rtively simple for Wu Hao. He could treat it as leisure time during his breaks.
Of course, all of this depended on the base running smoothly. After all, Wu Hao needed to make use of his time to develop a method topletely eradicate cancer cells for his father.
"In about ten days, it will be the New Year, and it''s time to go back. But before that, I need to prepare a gift," Wu Hao thought, realizing that the health of his family was the top priority.
Now that Wu Hao had resolved the issue of the base''s energy supply, he could not only start designing and manufacturing the equipment required for the biological gicsboratory but also create some other interesting gadgets.
After all, a biological gicsboratory required numerous devices, and the current space within the base was not enough. Wu Hao not only needed to allocate a new space but also spend a considerable amount of time designing and manufacturing the research instruments.
This task would take several months toplete, and with the New Year approaching, there was no rush to construct theboratory.
Therefore, Wu Hao decided to use the remaining ten days to tinker with the 3D printing equipment. He nned to create several specialized 3D printers based on the semi-finished 3D printer he had previously developed, utilizing his telekic abilities.
For instance, he aimed to build a 3D metal printer capable of independent operation. This printer would have a minimum height of 6 meters and a width of 3 meters, equipped with a fully sealed opening and closingpartment. It would not only be able to print variousrge metalponents but also feature integrated automated precision processing equipment such as drilling, milling, and polishing.
Such 3D metal printers with these capabilities already existed in foreign countries.
Additionally, apart from the 3D printers specifically designed for processingrge metalponents, there was also a need for smaller, more precise parts, which required specialized 3D printing equipment as well.
In essence, Wu Hao''s n was to use these 3D printers with different functionalities to design and produce all subsequent parts and electronicponents.
Three dayster, Wu Hao finallypleted the manufacturing of the first 3D printer, specifically designed for printing variousposite materials.
This device, with dimensions of 2 meters in height, 3 meters in width, and 5 meters in length, upied a considerable space. It was capable of processingponents with a maximum length of 4 meters.
However, there is currently noplete casing for packaging, but as long as this machine starts running, there will be a corresponding casing immediately.
The casing material used for this 3D printer specifically designed for printingposite materials was made by Wu Hao using his self-improved new stic material.
Soon, after Wu Hao finished adding the raw materials, he directly input the corresponding drawings into theputer program of this 3D printer.
After two hours, all the casings for this 3D printer werepleted, and Wu Hao quickly installed them using telekinesis.
"Not bad, although it hasn''t reached my expected level, it''s barely sufficient for the initial stage." In fact, Wu Hao couldpletely manufacture a better and faster 3D printer.
However, to achieve that, he would need to create new nozzles and many rted precisionponents. After all, these items were purchased by Wu Hao, and their capabilities could only reach the current level. If he wanted better results, he had to make them himself.
Afterpleting the manufacturing of the first 3D printer, Wu Hao did not continue making more equipment. Instead, he started another design project.
This design project was a gift he was preparing for his family, and it was none other than a simple, intelligent robot.
To put it simply, Wu Hao nned to create a robot simr to the healthpanion robot "Baymax" that appeared in an animated film.
Chapter 76: Health Management Robot
Chapter 76: Health Management Robot
For Wu Hao, creating a health management robot was not a difficult task. Firstly, the materials used for manufacturing this robot were quite ordinary, with an intable skin made of resin material.
Internally, it housed a power-driven system and energy batteries, while the main frame was made of carbon fiber material that offered greater hardness and strengthpared to regr steel, but with a lighter weight.
Next, it was equipped with an instrument capable of conductingprehensive scans of various health issues in the human body, along with a main control chip.
In fact, the main control chip was the most technologically advancedponent of this health management robot.
It possessed a certain level of intelligence, enabling it to engage in simplemunication and conversation with humans. However, this level of intelligent programming is still in the research stage.
Although in recent years, softwarepanies like Microsoft have developed virtual intelligence capable of engaging in simple conversations with humans, these technologies are still not very mature.
Moreover, there are significant issues with the voice system, as the generated speech still sounds quite robotic.
Nevertheless, Wu Hao is fully capable of resolving these minor problems, especially considering his previous experience in developing a simr speech software program.
He only needs to make slight improvements based on that foundation. As for other aspects, they can be easily resolved. After all, Wu Hao doesn''t aim to create a genuine artificial intelligence and has no intention of replicating it exactly like the robot in that animated film.
The exaggerated functionalities depicted in the film are purely for dramatic effect. Apart from the original capabilities of the character, "Da Bai," the addition of armors and shells that effortlesslybine like a rubber balloon and exhibit formidablebat abilities is unrealistic!
In reality, Wu Hao couldpletely transform this health management robot into a different form. However, due to the widespread poprity of the "Da Bai" character and its cute appearance,bined with the avability of numerous toys resembling "Da Bai" in the market, which mayck specific functions but closely resemble the character in the animation, even featuring optional dialogues in some well-made overseas versions.
Since "Da Bai" has gained such fame and Wu Hao has found a perfect excuse to justify his creation, he naturally intends to make it in the same appearance.
However, the robot he is developing is genuinely capable of detecting and alerting individuals about their health conditions.
Thus, Wu Hao quickly immersed himself in the manufacturing process. Firstly, he designed a detailed blueprint in his mind. Given that the robot consisted of only a few critical structures, the design work waspleted in less than an hour.
"Alright! Let''s start by preparing theponents needed for the overall structure. Once those are ready, we can slowly proceed with the intelligent chip." Undoubtedly, the development of the intelligent chip would require the most time, while the rest of the overall structure was rtively simpler.
The required external skin, consisting of an intable balloon-like skin and a carbon fiber frame structure, could bepleted using the newly manufactured 3D printing equipment.
The fabrication of the skin was rtively simple. After cing the corresponding materials and inputting the blueprint, a preliminary white intable skin waspleted in no time. The remaining task involved detailed processing during the instation.
On the other hand, the various joint frame structures required for the carbon fiberponents needed repeated processing. Unlike other materials, carbon fiber derives its strength from the arrangement ofyers of fine carbon fibers in different shapes, which are then heated and fused together to form aplete structure.
It''s not as simple as cutting and drilling like with metallic materials. These carbon fiber parts are created throughyer-byyer umtion and uniform heating.
For example, the exterior shells of current Form 1 cars and most of theirponents are made from carbon fiber material.
The production method for these F1 car shells involves creating a mold first, thenyering carbon fiber in different structures, repeatedlyyering dozens of times. Finally, the structure is sent to a heating device for baking and shaping.
The high cost of carbon fiberponents is due to theplex manufacturing process. For instance, if one wants to modify certain parts of a sports car, such as the rearview mirror or the engine hood, simply recing them with carbon fiber counterparts would be much more expensive than using other materials.
Therefore, carbon fiber, as a new type of material, is indeed the future of the automotive manufacturing industry. However, it is necessary to improve the manufacturing process and reduce costs.
Currently, in terms of technology mastery, Europe, America, and even Japan are rtively more advanced. It must be said that although Japan is an unlikable country, it still holds the lead in certain areas such as electronic machinery and new material processespared to China.
However, even if Japan produces superior products, Wu Hao has no intention of purchasing them. Moreover, he no longer appreciates the things they boast about.
Afterpleting the carbon fiber frames andponents, Wu Hao designed a dedicated battery and corresponding electric motor drive device for it. Wu had all the necessary raw materials for manufacturing, so the process posed no difficulty.
Once all theponents of "Da Bai," including the frames, battery, drive system, high-frequency camera, human health scanner, automatic intion device, internal heating system, and so on, were manufactured and assembled, the final step was to cover it with the skin and perform a series of stitching. This entire process took just one day toplete.
In other words, at this point, all the hardware systems of "Da Bai" were fully assembled, leaving only the software intelligent program to activate these hardware facilities.
"The hardware is not a problem. Tomorrow, I''ll start writing a medical intelligent program for it!" Now that the entire body of "Da Bai" has beenpleted, Wu Hao can take his time with the intelligent program since he still has several days before returning home.
During these days, Wu Hao not only had to develop aprehensive medical intelligent program but also had to create a "house" for "Da Bai."
Naturally, this "house" would serve as a ce for its rest and charging. Wu Hao adopted a wireless charging method that has yet to be widely adopted.
Wireless charging technology has been achieved a few years ago, but it still remains limited to high-tech products with high costs.
If it is to be widely adopted in various electronic products, it will likely take several years or even a decade.
Chapter 77: Departure Matters
Chapter 77: Departure Matters
After all, a technology has already been realized, and for it to truly poprize among the masses, there are many conditions to consider.
First and foremost, the most important problem to solve is cost. For example, carbon fiber materials that are widely used in various fields are known to be superior to steel for manufacturing cars and many other products.
However, if we were to use this material entirely for manufacturing, the cost would be too high for most people to afford. Just look at those car modification enthusiasts; they only rece a fewponents, right?
If the entire vehicle structure is made of carbon fiber materials, only true tycoons can afford it. Take, for example, the world''s most expensive toy, the F1 race car. The cheapest F1 car costs more than 10 million RMB.
In this way, over the next few days, while Wu Hao was working on developing the intelligent medical program for "Dabai," he also took the time to create a hibernation device for "Dabai."
This device is a white rectangr hibernation chamber without sharp corners, measuring 120cm in length, 70cm in height, and 60cm in width. The hibernation device can automatically open and close, charge Dabai, and is equipped with a satellite signal receiver.
In other words, Dabai is like a mobile "phone" device, and the hibernation chamber is a device that can connect to satellite terminals and transmit all the information back to Wu Hao.
With Dabai at home, Wu Hao can promptly grasp any health and safety issues concerning his parents and family members.
Although the Dabai designed by Wu Hao does not have the ability to treat patients, it serves as a reminder. However, Wu Hao installed a current converter,monly known as an electric shock device, inside Dabai''s body.
It can convert low voltage current into high voltage current to stun living beings.
"Finally done!" After Wu Hao finished writing thest line of code, he let out a sigh of relief. "Next, let''s see how it performs."
Quickly inputting the intelligent program he wrote into a chip he fabricated himself, Wu Hao directly ced the chip into a card-like device on Dabai''s chest that can open and close.
As the chip was inserted, the eyes and body of "Dabai" began to sh blue indicator lights.
After a processsting 30 seconds, a synthesized electronic voice sounded, "Hello, I am your personal health advisor, Dabai!" Although this synthesized voice still sounded somewhat robotic, overall, it was much better than many current speech recognition software when it came to reading texts.
After hearing this voice, Wu Hao also knew that there was no problem with his intelligent chip.
"Dabai, show me the health status of my body," Wu Hao smiled faintly.
As Wu Hao''s voice fell, the two eyes on Dabai''s head emitted X-ray-like scanning beams. The beams were faint and quickly scanned the body. After the scanning, Dabai spoke.
"Your physical condition is very healthy, please continue to maintain it!" Wu Hao knew very well about his own physical condition, as he could nowpletely control the metabolism speed of various cells and organs within his body.
He could timely eliminate unnecessary toxins and impurities from his body. In other words, it was almost impossible for Wu Hao to get sick now.
"Very good, thank you, Dabai! By the way, when you perform a physical examination for my father in the future, do you know what to say?" When Wu Hao was writing the medical program for Dabai, he inputted information about his own family and included his father''s condition in the program.
The purpose of doing this was to ensure that Dabai would not reveal the truth when conducting a health check for his father. After all, his father was unaware that he was in the advanced stage of cancer. To avoid adding any psychological burden to himself, this truth should not be disclosed.
"Dabai knows! Dabai will execute ording to the program settings," came the answer in the synthesized electronic voice.
Afterpleting the gift for his family, Dabai, Wu Hao spent the next few days writing another program. This program would manage the daily affairs of the base after he left.
He also manufactured several robotic arms, which would be used for maintenance work in the fusion reactor power generation facility. The remaining robotic arms would be assigned by the base''s main control intelligent program to engage in someponent processing tasks when Wu Hao left the base.
Currently, the fusion reactor power generation facility was operating normally because the power consumption of the base was minimal. After all, the power generation capacity of this fusion reactor was enough to meet the electricity demands of a city with several hundred thousand residents.
In terms of the current energy consumption of the base, it is far from reaching such a level. The fusion reactor is currently operating at less than 1/10 of its capacity.
The intelligent program that Wu Hao wrote, although currently just a pseudo-intelligent program, has no issues in handling the daily management of the base.
Moreover, Wu Hao can provide variousmands to the intelligent program and receive feedback on the base''s operations through the satellitework at any time.
It must be said that severalmunication satellites in the sky have already been directly essed and granted management permissions by Wu Hao, and even the owners andpanies of thesemunication satellites have not noticed this.
The reason for theirck of awareness is that Wu Hao has not used these permissions to make any abnormal actions. He has simply used a small portion of themunication resources of these satellites for his own service.
Some of thesemunication satellites belong to Huaxia Communications Company, while others belong to other countries. However, the ones controlled by Wu Hao are civilianmunication satellites. As for the spy satellites and military satellites directly controlled by countries, Wu Hao has not touched them.
These satellites have strong firewalls, and although he can breach them, he would be immediately detected in the process.
Moreover, there is no benefit for Wu Hao to invade these satellites. Why would he engage in suchborious and fruitless activities?
The purpose of controlling thesemunication satellites is to allow himself to use freemunication services. Perhaps in the future, when Wu Hao designs and manufactures more powerfulmunication satellites, he won''t need to borrow themunication resources of these satellites anymore.
For Wu Hao, manufacturing amunication satellite is not a difficult task. If he wants to do it, he can even start researching and manufacturing within the base immediately.
However, while manufacturing poses no difficulties for Wu Hao, the challenge lies in how tounch it into space, whatunch method to use, and where tounch it. So, in the short term, Wu Hao will not consider this problem.
Chapter 78: Buying New Year Goods
Chapter 78: Buying New Year Goods
In the following days, Wu Hao provided several instructions to the base''s intelligent program, "Zero." These instructions were rted to maintaining the daily operations of the base and handling any unexpected situations.
Although the current "Zero" program is only a pseudo-intelligence and has limited capabilities, it is sufficient for handling the base''s routine tasks.
Wu Hao also considered creating a true artificial intelligence program. However, true artificial intelligence cannot be developed using currentputers. Moreover, once an artificial intelligence program is created, it requires a massive infrastructure to sustain its existence.
Even the most advanced supeputers in the world today are unable to support its presence. Only quantum-levelputers can amodate a true artificial intelligence.
The field of quantumputing is currently being researched by various countries and institutions worldwide. In recent years, there have been developments in the creation of "quantumputers" by some research institutions.
However, these "quantumputers" are only in name and do not possess the true capabilities of quantumputing. Theirputing power is not significant. In contrast, a true quantumputer hasputing power many times faster than the world''s current fastestputer, the Tianhe-2.
In other words, while it would take "Tianhe-2" hundreds of years to perform a calction, a quantumputer couldplete it in just one second.
One can imagine that once quantumputers are sessfully developed, human technology will experience another significant leap forward.
However, there are many challenges to ovee in the creation of a true quantumputer. For example, the materials and processes involved in manufacturing chips need to be solved. If this problem cannot be adequately addressed, the birth of quantumputers will not be possible.
Moreover, manufacturingputer chips involves nanotechnology. Currently, human knowledge in nanotechnology only allows for the production of chips at the 14nm or 7nm level. Perhaps there will be further advancements in the future, but it clearly requires substantial time for umtion and development.
...
After dealing with matters at the base, Wu Hao flew back to the city during the night, carrying the device that housed Da Bai. He casually found a hotel and stayed overnight, preparing to buy some New Year goods the next day before driving back home.
The next morning, Wu Hao checked out of the hotel and, after having breakfast at a nearby ce, went to a market in the city to purchase New Year goods.
As the most important annual festival in China, the Spring Festival sees various provinces and regions filled with a wide variety of New Year goods in the period leading up to the Lunar New Year.
Besides various food and gift items, the most festive items are undoubtedly fireworks and firecrackers. Although it is not allowed to set them off freely in urban areas, Wu Hao is a true rural native, and in the countryside and some small towns, there are no restrictions on fireworks and firecrackers.
Therefore, almost every household buys some fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year, setting them off on the eve of the Lunar New Year to bring good luck for theing year.
However, in the past, Wu Hao''s family was not financially well-off, so they would at most buy some firecrackers and a few fireworks as a symbolic gesture. But for those who earned money doing business outside and returned to their hometown every year, they would usually buy a lot of fireworks and firecrackers to add to the festive atmosphere. Not only would they set them off at their own homes, but during this time of the year, local temples also attracted many people who offered incense and prayed for blessings.
Now that Wu Hao is rtively well-off, he couldn''t help but follow the trend. He decided to buy more fireworks this year to bring some joy to his younger sister. Fireworks have a certain appeal to girls, even though many girls are afraid of setting them off themselves, but it''s hard to imagine anyone who doesn''t enjoy watching the beautiful scene of fireworks blooming in the night sky.
For example, in some TV dramas, the male lead often uses fireworks to create a romantic atmosphere! In the countryside, fireworks are loved by people of all ages.
Naturally, Wu Hao is no exception. In fact, when he was a child, he even yed with those cheap firecrackers that cost only one yuan per pack and used them to blow up small fish in the pond! Of course, there were also some mischievous kids who used them to prank others. For example, when someone wasn''t paying attention, they would light one and throw it beside them, causing them to startle.
Or there were some daring kids who threw them into the manure pit, and the resulting explosion was simply too spectacr that most people dared not look.
"Young man, do you want to buy fireworks and firecrackers? Come to my stall. I have the best goods here, guaranteed to make a loud bang and bright sparks," as soon as Wu Hao entered the market, the surrounding vendors hurriedly promoted their own products.
After taking a look at the merchandise in this shop, Wu Hao decided to pass by directly because he lost interest in their products after roughly scanning them with his spiritual perception.
"All this talk about not being a dud and having good quality isplete nonsense." Although Wu Hao knew it in his heart, he wouldn''t say it out loud. Instead, he moved on to another shop because he sensed that the quality of their products was noticeably better than the previous one.
"Boss, do you have arge stock of fireworks like this in your shop?" The shop owner, a man in his 50s, smiled as he heard Wu Hao''s inquiry. "Plenty! The storefront is too small to disy a lot, but we have several boxes of inventory in the warehouse behind."
"Alright then, I''ll take all the fireworks of this type, and three boxes each of these other varieties!" Wu Hao nodded casually.
"Are you buying so many? Are you here to restock?" The shop owner was momentarily taken aback.
"No, I''m buying them for personal use at home." Wu Hao smiled and continued, "By the way, can you arrange for transportation? These fireworks and firecrackers take up quite a bit of space, and I''ll be buying some other itemster. My car won''t be able to fit all of them."
"Yes, of course! Where do you want them delivered? I''ll have my son bring them to youter." The shop owner agreed readily. Wu Hao''s purchase amounted to tens of thousands of yuan, essentially depleting their stock ofrge fireworks and firecrackers. So, he was happy to offer delivery service.
"Thank you so much!" Wu Hao expressed his gratitude and informed the shop owner of his hometown address. Although the shop owner thought the distance was a bit far, considering the substantial amount of the purchase and Wu Hao''s willingness to pay, he wasn''t the type to be petty.
After Wu Hao paid, the shop owner made a phone call to summon his son to the shop. Within 10 minutes, a long version of a van arrived at the store entrance.
As Wu Hao looked at the young man getting out of the vehicle, he felt a sense of familiarity, and his memories quickly revealed the young man''s identity.
And when the young man saw Wu Hao, he seemed hesitant to speak. After a brief moment, he spoke with a mix of realization and uncertainty, "You''re Wu Hao, right?"
Chapter 79: Insufficient Talent, Relying on Looks
Chapter 79: Insufficient Talent, Relying on Looks
Facing the young man''s inquiry, Wu Hao simply smiled and replied, "Yes!" It turned out that this young man, who was about the same age as Wu Hao, was Liu Ben, Wu Hao''s ssmate from high school.
Wu Hao had a deep impression of Liu Ben because he had a very loud nickname, "Niubi," in their ss.
Moreover, ever since he absorbed the mysterious ck meteorite, all the experiences he had gone through from birth until now were deeply imprinted in his memory.
Not to mention his high school ssmates, he could even recall the names of his ssmates from elementary school.
"Oh, it''s really you, Wu Hao!" Liu Ben, upon noticing that Wu Hao recognized him, alsoughed cheerfully. "By the way, old ssmate, it has been several years. Why haven''t you been in touch with our ssmates from high school?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao felt somewhat helpless. The reason he hadn''t been in contact with his high school ssmates for these past few years was not only because he went to another city for university, but also because his original QQ ount, which was used formunication with his ssmates, got hacked after he graduated from the college entrance examination.
After his QQ ount, which he had been using since high school, was stolen, and considering that he had been away from home during his university years, he naturally lost contact with his high school ssmates.
Soon, Wu Hao and Liu Ben started conversing, and the shop owner who was originally standing at the door, Liu Ben''s father, greeted them with a smile and then went inside to attend to other matters.
After a brief conversation with Wu Hao, Liu Ben directly asked about the main matter, "Wu Hao, are you buying all these fireworks and firecrackers to keep at home?"
"For the Lunar New Year, and also because I live in the countryside, so I can freely set them off. That''s why I bought a bit more," Wu Hao casually replied. Although tens of thousands of yuan worth of fireworks and firecrackers seemed like a lot, it depended on the context. For example, in some cities orpanies, fireworks worth several million yuan were not umon. In certain first-tier cities, it wouldn''t be strange to see tens of millions spent on a single fireworks disy.
"You didn''t just buy a bit more; this is a disy of wealth! It seems like you''ve made a fortune, old ssmate!" Liu Ben said with a tone of admiration. Although his family was engaged in business in the city all year round, he himself couldn''t bear to spend tens of thousands on fireworks and firecrackers for the New Year.
In Liu Ben''s memory, Wu Hao was not particrly active in high school, and his family background was quite ordinary. He never expected that in just a few years, Wu Hao, who was inconspicuous back then, would have such purchasing power.
Suddenly, as if something came to his mind, Liu Ben continued, "By the way, Wu Hao, our ss president has organized a high school reunion the day after tomorrow. You shoulde too!"
"A ss reunion?" Wu Hao paused for a moment, but after a brief thought, he agreed, "Sure!" Although ss reunions in this era had lost their original essence and turned intopetitions and disys of one''s achievements, Wu Hao didn''t have a reason to refuse since it was organized by their ss president from high school, and he happened to have free time during the Lunar New Year.
"Hey, Wu Hao, you might not know yet, but our former ss president, Zhou Qin, has be even more beautiful than before!" Liu Ben whispered with a smile that all men understood.
"Oh, really?" Wu Hao smiled. Although he remembered Zhou Qin as a pretty girl, who excelled academically and held the position of ss president and school flower, the object of secret admiration for all male students in their ss, Wu Hao didn''t have any strong emotions about it anymore. Those were just memories from their student days, and now Wu Hao didn''t feel much about it.
"Of course, it''s true. If you don''t believe me, I can add you to the groupter, and you''ll see her photos. I also heard that she hasn''t had a boyfriend yet!" Liu Ben said with a determined expression, his eyes flickering with a hint of inexplicable light.
"Judging by your tone, could it be that you want to make a good impression at this reunion?" Wu Hao asked.
"Heh! I do have that thought, but I know she probably won''t be interested in me. She graduated from a prestigious university, while I''ve been working with my dad in business since high school. Although business has been good these past few years, I''ve only made a small amount of money." Liu Ben sighed. Not going to college had always been a regret in his heart. But it was inevitable since he had always been a poor student. His high school entrance exam scores weren''t even enough to get into a third-rate university. Although he could have entered a university like that with his grades, he didn''t find it appealing at all.
"I think you''re overthinking it. With your appearance and decent conditions, why not give it a try and see what happens?" Wu Hao advised.
"Hehe! Wu Hao, you really hit me in the heart with those words. Not to mention, I have a pretty good appearance, and looks can make up forcking talent. That statement perfectly describes me!" Liu Ben exaggerated, butpared to Wu Hao''s average face, he was indeed quite handsome.
However, seeing Liu Ben''s yful expression, Wu Hao''s face twitched slightly, and he felt an urge to punch him. But this also indicated that Liu Ben was casual and not pretentious, which made Wu Hao feel morefortable around him.
Seeing Wu Hao''s reaction, Liu Ben immediatelyughed softly. "Haha! Let''s not talk about that. The truth is, Wu Hao, you''re not too bad yourself, and you''re even generous with your spending. Although we''re in an era where looks matter, being wealthy is an exception."
"...," Wu Hao was momentarily speechless in response to his words.
After this conversation, Wu Hao and Liu Ben became more familiar with each other. They loaded the goods, about ten boxes, into Liu Ben''s van. It was clearly a cargo van, as the seats in the back rows had been removed to make more space for the goods.
This kind of van, designed specifically for cargo transport, wasmon in various cities and was no longer a novelty. Large trucks were not allowed in some city areas, so vans had be the mainstream vehicles for transportation.
Firstly, vans were affordable, with even the better models costing only around fifty to sixty thousand yuan. By removing the seats in the back, they could meet the delivery and construction vehicle needs of various industries.
Chapter 80: Water Group and Red Packets
Chapter 80: Water Group and Red Packets
After all the goods were loaded onto the van, Liu Ben suggested to Wu Hao if he wanted to ride together in his car.
Wu Hao declined Liu Ben''s kind offer, not because he looked down on Liu Ben''s van, but because his own car was parked on the roadside outside the market. He couldn''t just leave it unattended, could he?
As for Liu Ben, he was just casually mentioning it. In his opinion, since Wu Hao could spend so much money on these temporary ythings, it was normal for him to have a private car for transportation.
However, Liu Ben didn''t directly ask Wu Hao what kind of car he had because it would seem too tacky. Liu Ben would never make such a vulgar mistake.
However, when Liu Ben saw Wu Hao heading towards the market with the G500 parked on the roadside, he was still somewhat surprised. He thought to himself, "This guy is indeed a local tyrant. Who did he say this beastly monster belonged to before? I didn''t expect the real owner to be this guy! Tsk tsk!"
Although Liu Ben also had a car at home, it was just a Buick Regal worth only a little over 200,000 yuan, which couldn''t bepared to the magnificent Mercedes-Benz G500. SUVs like this one naturally attracted a lot of attention wherever they went.
However, although Liu Ben was amazed, he only felt a little envious and had no sense of jealousy.
As Wu Hao''s car started, Liu Ben followed behind slowly.
While Liu Ben was following from behind, he didn''t idle. With a sudden thought, he took out thetest model of a fruit machine and took a photo of the G500 driven by Wu Hao in front. He then directly sent it to his high school ssmates'' group chat with a caption that said, "Guess who the owner of this monster is?"
It didn''t take long for people to immediately respond to Liu Ben''s message, "This G500 is so imposing. Ben, could the owner of this car be from our ss? Who''s the local tyrant?"
Seeing that Liu Ben asked this question, the people in the group quickly started specting.
"Hehe, congrattions, you guessed it right. You''ll find out who it is the day after tomorrow at the ss reunion." Liu Ben didn''t directly reveal it and intentionally kept it a secret.
After saying that, in a good mood, Liu Ben sent a red packet divided into 8 parts worth 100 yuan each. It wasn''t for the sake of showing off, but because he generally enjoyed these activities of sending and grabbing red packets on his phone.
Even if there were only a few cents in the red packet, he still enjoyed snatching it. So the amount of money didn''t really matter. The key was the attitude you had towards sending and grabbing red packets.
If you just wanted to show off and unt your wealth, no matter how much you sent, you wouldn''t win people''s favor. But if you did it to liven up the group atmosphere, it would definitely garner everyone''s favor.
And Liu Ben clearly belonged to the second category. In truth, Liu Ben had always had good interpersonal rtionships and was quite good at livening up the atmosphere.
"Wow! Our Ben just sent a red packet again. Oops, I missed it. Ben, send another one!"
"Yeah! Ben, good thingse in pairs!"
"Send another one..."
Seeing that even the people who usually didn''t participate in the group chat started following along because of his red packet, Liu Ben chuckled and generously sent another 100 yuan red packet. This time, there were more portions, a total of 18. As for who would grab more, it all depended on.
Chapter 81: Advanced Toys
Chapter 81: Advanced Toys
After Liu Ben''s somewhat sarcastic remark, Wu Hao merely smiled casually and didn''t pay much attention to it. After finishing their lunch, the two continued driving towards Wu Hao''s vige.
Now, the road from the town to Wu Hao''s home had been newly renovated, bing a vige-level cement road that could amodate two vehicles.
In less than half an hour, Wu Hao, followed by Liu Ben, arrived at the entrance of his new home in the vige.
"Look, isn''t that Wu''s kid''s car? Why is there a van following behind?"
"That van must be carrying their New Year goods. Tsk tsk, Hong Guojia has indeed raised a good son! Not only did he contribute money to repair our vige road, but he also built such a huge house in the vige. I heard that the cost of that house alone was in the tens of millions!" The vigers along the way observed as Wu Hao''s car passed by their vige entrance, engaging in conversations.
"Tens of millions in cost? That''s a lot! But wasn''t Wu''s kid the one who won only a few million in the lottery?"
"You don''t know this. Last time, I heard Hong Guo say that their son Wu Hao seemed to have made quite a bit of money by investing in stocks with that money! Otherwise, how could he spend so much money on building a house?"
"Oh, is that so! No wonder Wu Hao isn''t often at home. Turns out he''s out there making big money!" Although he didn''t understand what stock investment was, it sounded impressive, indicating that it was a lucrative business.
As it turned out, during a previous phone call with his family, Wu Hao''s parents asked him what he had been busy withtely. At the same time, they also got an idea of the approximate cost of their new vi.
After all, even though the vigers were all from a farming background, not all of them were inexperienced. Some of them could roughly estimate the cost of the newly constructed vi. Nowadays, whenever something happened to any household, news would quickly spread within a radius of ten miles.
So, even though Wu Hao''s parents didn''t know the specifics, these rumors soon reached their ears. When faced with their parents'' inquiries, Wu Hao quickly came up with an excuse, saying that he had been investing in stocks and earned quite a bit of money since winning the lottery, reassuring them not to worry about financial matters.
Then, Wu Hao vaguely mentioned that he had made several tens of millions during this period. Although his parents were surprised, after their recent realization, they quickly epted this fact.
As for making money through stock trading, to be honest, with Wu Hao''s analytical abilities, as long as he did some analysis, he could ensure his profits in the stock market.
However, Wu Hao didn''t have any worries about this matter because there were numerous ways for him to make money. Just selling his technological expertise alone could earn him a substantial amount.
Moreover, these technologies are not highly advanced. They are just slightly ahead of what is currently avable on the market. In other words, Wu Hao has made some improvements based on these existing technologies. Achieving this is a piece of cake for Wu Hao given his current abilities.
However, Wu Hao is notcking money at the moment, and his focus is not on these technologies.
As Wu Hao and Liu Ben drove past the vige courtyard and continued along the newly constructed road for a while, they entered the vi area. Upon seeing this, Liu Ben couldn''t help butment, "Damn, what a wealthy person! He actually built such a huge vi in his hometown. No, this scale should be considered an estate."
"Brother!" Just as Wu Hao''s car entered the courtyard, his parents and younger sister, who had heard the noise, came to the yard.
Liu Ben, who was following behind Wu Hao''s car, noticed a remarkably beautiful girl in the distance calling out to them and his eyes lit up. "Brother? Could this beauty be Wu Hao''s sister? I didn''t expect that in-looking Wu Hao would actually have such a beautiful rich girl as a sister!"
Soon, after Wu Hao and Liu Ben parked their cars, Liu Ben couldn''t help but whisper to Wu Hao, "You''re really wealthy, man. You know how to enjoy life! With the size of your house, it would cost billions in the city for sure."
"Heh, as you said, that''s in the city. But it didn''t cost much in our rural area!" Wu Hao exined casually and continued, "Let me introduce you. These are my parents and my sister."
"Dad, Mom, this is my high school ssmate, Liu Ben."
"Uncle, Aunt, hello!" Liu Ben greeted.
"So, you''re Hao''er''s ssmate! Pleasee in!" Zhang Hun quickly smiled and greeted them.
"No need to be so polite, Aunt. I''ll bring the goods into your house first! Wu Hao bought a lot of things from my ce this time!" Liu Ben smiled and then opened the car trunk to start unloading the items. Wu Hao also joined in and helped.
However, Wu Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the side, eximed when she saw the fireworks being unloaded from the car one after another, "Wow, brother, why did you buy so many fireworks?"
"Hehe, didn''t you always like watching fireworks before? This time, I bought more so we can have a fireworks party. Isn''t that nice?" Wu Hao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhang Hun, standing nearby,ughed andined, "You, always spending money recklessly."
Soon, with the help of Wu Hao, dozens of boxes of fireworks and some New Year goods were unloaded from the car and ced in different areas of the vi.
"Sis, what''s this thing on the back seat of your car?" Wu Xiaoxiao looked at the white stic device holding arge white object and asked.
"Oh, this! It''s a ''toy'' I had someone buy for you from abroad," Wu Hao thought for a moment and directly gave the object the title of a toy.
In fact, toys like this, simr to therge white object, were already avable on the market. However, Wu Hao''s version appeared more high-end. As long as no one opened it to reveal any special functions in front of them, pretending it was a sophisticated toy would not be a problem.
To prevent the device from being recognized by others, Wu Hao had already set up special programs inside it. Its health check function was only essible to his parents and sister, and it would disy its intelligent conversational abilities only to them.
In front of others, it would only show basic toy abilities, such as simple conversations and walking.
There are already various types of humanoid robots in the world, so as long as thisrge white object didn''t exhibit any extraordinary abilities in front of outsiders, it wouldn''t cause much of a stir. At most, it would be seen as a high-end toy.
Chapter 82: Clumsy Big White
Chapter 82: Clumsy Big White
Upon hearing Wu Hao''s words about the toy he bought for his younger sister, Wu Hao''s parents and Liu Ben didn''t pay too much attention. However, Liu Ben couldn''t help but think to himself, "This guy is really good to his sister! And his sister is so beautiful too. Could he be a sisterplex?"
Although Liu Ben found Wu Xiao Xiao to be quite attractive at first nce, since she was his ssmate''s sister, he naturally couldn''t behave the same way he would when seeing a beautiful woman under normal circumstances.
In any case, Liu Ben was currently behaving quite seriously. If it were any other time, he would have probably made a move long ago.
After all, this guy was quite handsome, and with his well-off background, he was generally generous. Although he was still far from being a true "tall, rich, and handsome" type, in their city, he could be considered a young master.
Soon, after all the goods were moved into the vi, Liu Ben stayed at Wu Hao''s house for about half an hour and then took his leave.
After all, he still had several hours to return to the city! If he encountered the morning traffic jam again on the way back, it would take even more time.
In the small living room on the third floor of Wu Hao''s vi, Wu Xiao Xiao looked at Wu Hao with curiosity and said, "Brother, what kind of toy did you buy for me? You''re making such a big fuss about it." Although Wu Xiao Xiao was not young anymore, she was still very interested in thoserge toys, especially when they were gifts from her brother.
"You''ll see exactly what it is soon," Wu Hao smiled and teased her, then he pressed a switch on the device in the corner that contained Big White and said, "Big White,e out!"
Upon hearing Wu Hao''smand, Big White, the device with voice recognition technology, immediately split open from the middle and a white figure, resembling a balloon, quickly inted and stood up from within the device.
"Wow! It''s actually Big White! Brother, is this the toy you were talking about?" Wu Xiao Xiao eximed with excitement in her eyes.
"Yes, this is a customized creation that I worked hard to obtain from a roboticsboratory abroad. Although it can''tpare to the Big White in the movie, it has no problem with simple movements and conversations. Moreover, this device alsoes with built-in wireless satellitework functionality. I''ll give you the passwordter, so you can use the wirelesswork at home anytime," Wu Hao exined with a smile.
"That''s so advanced! Brother, this Big White must be expensive!" Wu Xiao Xiao said, without doubting it, as researchboratories abroad have achieved significant results in the field of robotics.
"It didn''t cost much, but it''s still rtively hard to acquire in China. So, don''t spread the word about Big White," Wu Hao instructed briefly.
The purpose of creating Big White was to have it in the house, serving as a health manager and safety alert for his parents. Big White would only stay inside the vi. As long as he instructed his parents and sister not to talk about it, there was no need to worry about the high-tech secrets of Big White being discovered by others.
Because in front of other people, Big White would only behave like a toy and wouldn''t activate its intended functions. It couldn''t be controlled by anyone other than Wu Hao.
Moreover, there wouldn''t be any strangers entering their home usually, so there was no need to worry. Besides, if Big White encountered any special situations, it would immediately transmit the information to Wu Hao.
To facilitate easymunication between himself, the base, and Big White, Wu Hao had specially created a high-tech mobile phone for himself.
This phone was no different from therge-screen phones on the market, except that it was slightly thicker and had excellent three-proof protection,parable to the best models avable. It also had a super-strong satellite signal reception function and processing power equivalent to an averageptop. It was essentially a wireless handheldputer with impressive standby capabilities.
When Wu Hao was manufacturing this phone, he had even designed a logoabination of a circr shape and a stylized letter "Y"which looked simple and had a good sci-fi feel.
Upon hearing Wu Hao''s exnation, Wu Xiao Xiao, in a state of surprise and excitement, remembered Wu Hao''s reminder. "Don''t worry, Brother, I won''t talk about it everywhere," she reassured him. After that, she turned to Big White, who had already finished inting and stood up from the device, and said excitedly, "Big White, can you understand what I''m saying?"
"Hello, Xiao Xiao, I am Big White, your personal health assistant, and also your good friend," Big White''s small head on its chubby body responded with a flicker of blue data in its eyes.
The voice of Big White came from within its massive body. Although there was ayer of resin material as a barrier, it didn''t have much impact on the transmission of sound. Instead, it created a special echo effect.
"Wow! Big White, you can really understand what I''m saying!" Wu Xiaoxiao appeared even more amazed.
"Xiaoxiao, you seem very happy now. Do you have something joyful to share with Big White?" Big White''s voice echoed again.
Although Big White''s intelligence program wasn''t very advanced, it could still do some simple analysis of human emotions. After all, a few years ago, Microsoft introduced a chatbot software that could provide human-like responses to questions posed by humans.
For example, if you asked it if it was handsome, it might say, "There''s no one more handsome than me." If you insulted it, it could discern the general meaning of your words and respond ordingly.
However, the chatbot software introduced by Microsoft back then could only perform text recognition and couldn''t handle such detailed voice processing. The Big White intelligent healthcare program created by Wu Hao perfectly integrated these functionalities. In other words, the current Big White could be considered a simple, entry-level intelligent robot.
As for more advanced intelligence programs, traditional "silicon" chips are no longer sufficient for their development. They require a new type of material to manufacture chips capable of amodating high-level intelligence.
In the following time, Wu Hao introduced Big White to his parents and let them get to know each other. It had to be said that having such a clumsy-looking fellow in the house was quite endearing.
Although Big White''s mobility was slow, it could still move freely between the floors of the vi. This ability made it much more capable than robots that could only move on wheels on t ground.
Chapter 83: Vibrant Atmosphere
Chapter 83: Vibrant Atmosphere
In the evening, Wu Hao opened his phone and as soon as he logged into his QQ ount, he received a friend request. Looking at the name in the request, Wu Hao directly epted the verification.
It turned out that Liu Ben had added Wu Hao as a friend on QQ directly through his phone number. In fact, Liu Ben not only added him on QQ, but also added him on WeChat.
However, Wu Hao rarely logged into WeChat, and even QQ was only opened asionally.
Just as Wu Hao had just epted Liu Ben''s verification, he received a message from him: "Hey, big spender, why are you only logging into QQ now!"
"Just finished some things at home," Wu Hao casually replied. As for Liu Ben directly calling him a ''big spender,'' he didn''t pay much attention to it. After all, Wu Hao''s mindset had changed a lotpared to before.
At the same time Liu Ben sent a message to Wu Hao, he also quickly added him to a group. Liu Ben was actually the administrator of this ssmate group, so as soon as Wu Hao agreed, he was immediately verified.
"Wee back, Wu Hao, to our big family," Liu Ben sent a wee message as soon as Wu Hao joined the group.
"Wu Hao?" Apparently, some people in the group didn''t have much impression of Wu Hao from their school days, especially since he hadn''t been in contact with his high school ssmates for several years.
"I know, it''s Wu Hao, the one who used to sit next to Hong Lei! Why haven''t you been in contact with us, your old ssmates, all these years!"
As Wu Hao read the message mentioning Hong Lei''s name on the phone screen, he felt a stir in his heart and immediately started looking for his name in the group. In just a moment, Wu Hao found Hong Lei''s name, but his profile picture showed that he was offline.
Hong Lei was Wu Hao''s bestpanion during high school, but Hong Lei dropped out in thest semester of senior year. At first, they stayed in touch through QQ, but after Wu Hao''s QQ ount was hacked, they lost contact during their college years.
"I wonder how that guy is doing now!" Wu Hao thought to himself.
After pondering for a moment, Wu Hao temporarily put aside this question because if Hong Lei was in this group, he should know about the ss reunion.
As Wu Hao saw the former ssmates in the group sending messages inquiring about each other, he quickly replied, "Hello, everyone!"
"Brother Hao just arrived, why not send everyone a red envelope!" Liu Ben messaged, trying to stir things up.
Currently, Liu Ben was the one who knew Wu Hao the best among the people in the group. After all, he had witnessed Wu Hao not only driving a luxury car worth millions but also building a luxurious mansion at home. Moreover, Wu Hao casually spent tens of thousands on fireworks, which was seen as an extravagant act!
"Yeah! Yeah!"
"+1"
Soon, several usually active guys in the group followed suit and madements. Apparently, in the group, it was usually these few people who were causing a stir.
As for the others, either they were not online or they were silently lurking without speaking.
Wu Hao just smiled when he saw this, but he still sent an 888 yuan red envelope through online banking, divided into eight shares, and sent it to the group.
"Wow! Brother Hao is so impressive! 888 yuan! Haha, I''m actually the lucky king, got 388."
"I only got 65..."
"Oh, damn, I was too slow and missed it... Can someone send another one!"
There were a total of 35 people in the group, with a dozen or so online. It didn''t take long for the eight red envelopes to be snatched up, leaving none behind.
These days, if you send any other message, no one might even notice it. But if you send a red envelope, even those who usually lurk will quickly emerge.
"Brother Hao, send another one!" Liu Ben also followed the trend. He knew Wu Hao''s background, and although 888 yuan seemed like a small amountpared to the fortune Wu Hao had disyed, it was still impressive.
Seeing how lively the group had be, Wu Hao didn''t want to spoil everyone''s fun. Besides, he didn''t really need this pocket change. So, Wu Hao sent another 1888 yuan red envelope, this time divided into 30 shares to see who could snatch the most. Since it was a red envelope snatching game, this seemed like the best way to do it.
However, after Wu Hao sent another big red envelope of 1888 yuan, the group became even more lively. Although there were several people who asionally sent red envelopes to liven up the atmosphere, the amounts were not significant, usually just a few or tens of yuan.
"Oh no! Looks like I arrived toote!" The group owner, ss monitor Zhou Qin, came online at this moment and expressed regret.
"Our beautiful ss monitor is here." Several boys were very attentive. After all, beautiful girls were highly sought after these days. Moreover, she was the former school flower from their high school days. Many of them didn''t have the courage to do anything back then, but now, several years after graduation, they were no longer rookies in matters of love. Naturally, they had all be bolder.
As for the girls in the group, most of them had a good rtionship with Zhou Qin, which showed her influence.
In fact, they had held a few ss reunions in previous years, but the number of participants was notrge, with the most being around a dozen people.
Wu Hao chatted in the lively group for a while and then turned off the group messages. However, before doing so, he added Hong Lei''s number as a friend. Once Hong Lei came online, he would be able to see the messages Wu Hao sent.
After closing the group messages, Wu Hao connected to the intelligent program at the base through his phone and watched the surveince footage from various parts of the base for a while. He found that everything was running smoothly.
"Perhaps I can create more robots. Then, even if I don''t have to return to the base, I can control them remotely to perform manufacturing tasks within the base." Wu Hao pondered to himself.
Currently, although there were a few robotic arms in the base, their capabilities were limited to simple tasks and couldn''t perform highly detailed and precise manufacturing work.
However, if Wu Hao redesigned and improved a new type of robot and manufactured a small, fully automated raw material processing and manufacturing production line, he would be able to aplish many things without having to stay at the base all the time.
After all, all the design work was done by him through mental calctions. There was no need for him to stay at the base toplete these tasks. As long as he entered remote controlmands, it would be sufficient.
Chapter 84: Former Good Brothers
Chapter 84: Former Good Brothers
Early the next day, Wu Hao prepared to decoratenterns and couplets with his family, which were traditional decorations for the Lunar New Year. However, he mostly did these tasks alone, while his parents and younger sister supervised from the side.
Although Wu Hao could easily use his mind power to instantly finish these decorations, he chose not to reveal his abilities to his family.
Moreover, personally participating in the decoration with his family gave a more festive atmosphere. After all, this year''s Spring Festival was the liveliest in Wu Hao''s family.
In this way, Wu Hao spent almost the entire day busy adding various items and preparing for the reunion dinner the next day.
His parents had already prepared to invite rtives and vigers from the vige to celebrate the Lunar New Year together at their home, marking the celebration of their new house.
Although Wu Hao''s family didn''t have any immediate rtives in the vige, his grandparents from his father''s side had passed away when he was young. At present, his father''s generation only had one elder sister, Wu Hao''s aunt.
However, since Wu Hao could remember, he had only met his aunt once in person. That''s because she got married and moved to Xiangnan Province.
Moreover, due to the poor conditions in their family in the past and the nearly one thousand kilometers of distance, Wu Hao''s aunt and her family hadn''t returned since his grandparents'' generation passed away.
Thest time they met was several years ago when Wu Hao''s cousin got married, and Wu Hongguo (Wu Hao''s father) visited his aunt''s house. At that time, both Wu Hao and Wu Xiaoxiao were in school, and considering the expensive travel costs, they didn''t go.
This time, Wu Hao''s parents also invited his aunt''s family to return to their hometown for a gathering. However, the short notice had caused all the train and ne tickets to be sold out, and the purchased tickets were scheduled after the 30th day of the lunar calendar.
And because Wu Hao''s family was going to host rtives and friends from the vige tomorrow, the preparations for the feast had to start this afternoon.
Fortunately, there were plenty of people in the vige to help, so Wu Hao didn''t need to personally take care of the feast preparations. He called over a dozen vigers who usually helped with such preparations.
To add some game meat to the feast, in the afternoon, Wu Hao specifically asked a few fellows from the vige to go into the mountains together and catch arge wild boar.
Of course, it wasn''t a random encounter for Wu Hao and his group toe across the wild boar. Wu Hao had secretly gone to a more remote area beforehand, where the boars were known to appear, and then he led the others to bring it back home without much difficulty.
In the evening, after a whole day of busyness, Wu Hao finally had some time to open his phone and log into his QQ ount. He discovered that Hong Lei, whom he added as a friendst night, had already epted his request and left him a message.
There was also a message from Liu Ben, informing him about the time and location of their ss reunion tomorrow.
"The reunion is in the evening? That works out well. After taking care of the noon feast, I can go to the city," Wu Hao thought.
After reading the messages, Wu Hao quickly replied to Liu Ben''s message and then sent a text to Hong Lei, asking for his phone number.
In a short while, Hong Lei, who was online, sent him his phone number.
"His number is registered in Dongguan City?" Wu Hao realized when he dialed Hong Lei''s number and saw that it was registered in Dongguan City. He had a rough idea about Hong Lei''s situation in recent years.
Because people like them, who left their rural hometowns with rural household registrations and went to major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, mostly went there to work. And in recent years, Dongguan City in Guangdong Province had gained notoriety nationwide due to aprehensive "cleanup" campaign.
This situation led to the immediate association that whenever they heard about a girl returning to her hometown from Dongguan City, the first thought that came to mind was that she must be one of the victims of this recent "cleanup."
"Old Hong?" After connecting the call, Wu Hao directly used the nickname from their high school days to address Hong Lei.
"Is this Haozi?" On the other end of the phone, Hong Lei''s tone sounded somewhat tentative.
"Come on, Lao Hong, I told you years ago not to call me ''Haozi'' anymore." Wu Hao heard this nickname and felt as if he had returned to their high school days, with a hint of helplessness and amusement.
"Haha! It''s really you, little brat! I was nning to visit your hometown and find you this year! What have you been up to all these years? Why haven''t we been in contact?"
Wu Hao briefly mentioned the incident of losing his QQ ount and then asked in return, "By the way, what have you been busy with all these years?"
"Well, what else could I do? After dropping out of school and dealing with family matters, I went to Guangdong Province to work. This is the first time I''ming back home this year!" Hong Lei said with a hint of self-deprecation and a sense of worldly weariness.
After all, spending more than four years working in another ce before even graduating from high school, Wu Hao somewhat understood the ups and downs Hong Lei had experienced during that time.
Wu Hao didn''t delve into that aspect further and changed the subject, saying, "So, what are your ns aftering back home this time?"
"Well, I have some ideas, but I''m not sure exactly what to do. By the way, speaking of me, you must have graduated from university by now, right? I saw some information in the group chat, and it seems like you''re doing pretty well!" Hong Lei chuckled and said.
"Hehe! It''s nothing much. I made some money trading stocks after graduation!" Wu Hao didn''t hide it and came up with a good excuse for the source of his money.
Because making money from stocks was something everyone knew about. However, while there were people who made profits, there were more people overall who ended up losing. After all, everyone had a sense of the stock market''s ups and downs in recent years.
"Trading stocks? Looks like you''ve made a fortune, huh? No way, you have to treat us!" Hong Lei, hearing Wu Hao''s enthusiastic response, knew that this matter was definitely true. Although he was curious about how Wu Hao made money through stock trading, he had no knowledge of the stock market, so he didn''t ask further or have any thoughts about it.
Due to his experience of working outside for these past few years, he had long realized what he should be doing. High-level activities like stock trading were definitely not something he could touch.
"Treating us is definitely not a problem!" Wu Hao smiled casually and then continued to ask, "By the way, you know about the ss reunion tomorrow, right?"
"I know about it! Actually, I wasn''t nning to attend initially, but since you''re back, I won''t be absent either." In fact, although Hong Lei had been in the ss group chat for these past few years, he was mostly a lurker.
Because he dropped out of high school without graduating, and he didn''t have much to contribute to the usual topics of conversation in the group. He didn''t have the energy to engage in discussions or share stories, so he was more like a familiar stranger in the group.
Chapter 85: Compensating the Bill
Chapter 85: Compensating the Bill
On the second day, Wu Hao spent the entire morning busy with the preparations for the banquet. After all, his family was hosting guests from the vige, with a total of nearly 20 tables for the feast.
Although Wu Hao didn''t need to personally handle the cooking, there were still many misceneous tasks. It wasn''t until the noon banquet was over that Wu Hao finally felt relieved. By that time, it was almost 2 o''clock, so Wu Hao informed his parents and some close rtives and friends, and then prepared to go to the city.
In rural areas during the Spring Festival, the activities of each household basically involved visiting rtives and friends, drinking, ying cards, and simr things every other day.
As the saying goes, "You gain three pounds during every festival." This isn''t just a casual remark. Eating rich food every day for half a month, even if you don''t gain weight, you''ll get tired of it. After eating, there would bete-night card games. So, although everyone in the countryside aimed to have a good time during the Lunar New Year, such constant hustle and bustle for half a month was quite taxing on the body.
Of course, Wu Hao''s parents weren''t interested in ying cards. Lack of interest was one factor, but the crucial reason was that their previous circumstances didn''t allow it. Wu Hao''s father, Wu Hongguo, would usually just drink alcohol and smoke. However, now Wu Hongguo couldn''t smoke or drink due to his health condition, and Wu Hao''s mother was keeping a close eye on him.
After experiencing this illness, Wu Hongguo had quit smoking and drinking. Since returning from the provincial capitalst time, he hadn''t touched tobo or alcohol again. After all, Wu Hongguo understood his own situation.
On the other hand, as Wu Hao drove through the town on his way to the city, he encountered an unfortunate traffic jam once again.
"It looks like I''ll have to wait for quite some time before the traffic clears." Looking at the long line of cars ahead, Wu Hao felt somewhat helpless. He picked up his phone and called Hong Lei, who was already in the city. "Lao Hong, I''m stuck in traffic. It might take another hour or two before I can get through. Why don''t you go to the restaurant for tonight''s gathering first? We can meet up properly after the event."
"No problem! I''ll go to the restaurant first." Originally, Wu Hao nned to arrive early in the city and have a private gathering with Hong Lei before going to the restaurant together. But now that he encountered a traffic jam on the road, that n naturally had to be canceled.
"Forget it, it''s still early. I''ll go to a nearby inte cafe and y for a while!" After hanging up the phone, Hong Lei checked the time and realized it was still early. He didn''t rush to the restaurant. Although there were already people there at this time, Hong Lei felt a certain distance from his high school ssmates deep in his heart, so he had no intention of going early.
Because if Hong Lei hadn''t nned to attend this so-called ss reunion in the first ce, the reason for his mentality might be that he feels a significant gap between himself and those original ssmates! After all, he dropped out of school without graduating, so it''s normal to feel a certain psychological distance.
Meanwhile, Wu Hao, who was stuck in the traffic, received a call from Liu Ben shortly after finishing his conversation with Hong Lei. Liu Ben was also asking him about his whereabouts.
After learning that Wu Hao was stuck in traffic again, Liu Ben, who had experienced a simr situation the day before, could roughly guess Wu Hao''s current situation.
"How is it? Liu Ben, when will Wu Hao arrive?" Zhou Qin, the ss monitor who organized the reunion, asked Liu Ben.
"Hey, there''s a traffic jam. It might take some more time to get there!" Liu Ben replied.
"No problem! There are still quite a few ssmates who haven''t arrived yet. We can dy the meal at the restaurant a bit." Zhou Qin nodded. Since she organized the reunion, she naturally needed to keep track of how many ssmates attended and make arrangements ordingly.
And so, as time passed, most of the people who had always attended the ss reunions had already arrived. Additionally, there were a few more individuals who hadn''t been able to attend in the past due to various reasons, including Hong Lei.
After being stuck in traffic for nearly two hours, Wu Hao finally arrived at the private room in the restaurant at 7 o''clock.
"Hao Ge, you really made us, the old ssmates, wait!" As soon as Wu Hao entered the room, Liu Benughed and said.
"Yeah, we need properpensation," as Liu Ben''s words fell, several other male and female ssmates immediately chimed in.
These people, like Liu Ben, were usually active in the group chat. Furthermore, with the incident of Wu Hao sending out red envelopes in the group, they had some knowledge of him. However, their agreement was meant more as a half-joking remark.
"No problem!" Wu Hao smiled and naturally didn''t take this small matter to heart. He continued, "Let''s do this. We won''t split the bill this time. I''ll cover all the expenses." Wu Hao was already aware of the situation regarding this ss reunion. Although their beautiful ss monitor was the organizer, the expenses weren''t covered by any individual but rather shared by the attendees.
This was how previous reunions had been conducted. Based on their past spending patterns, each participating ssmate would spend around 500 yuan.
After all, although some of these ssmates came from well-off families, they didn''t belong to exceptionally wealthy households. Moreover, most of them had just graduated and started working.
If any one of them had to bear the entire cost of the reunion alone, it would be quite a burden.
"Haha! Hao Ge is really generous. Since our Hao Ge has spoken, I think we should elevate the level of this reunion," Liu Ben, who knew Wu Hao the best, said.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao didn''t say much. He directly instructed the nearby waiter to rece the originally ordered drinks. Since the dishes had been pre-ordered, Wu Hao didn''t ask the restaurant to change them, but rather added two more dishes.
Seeing Wu Hao''s generosity, the atmosphere among the attendees became livelier. Although there were a few guys who felt a bit jealous deep down about Wu Hao''s show of generosity, they didn''t show it on the surface.
They weren''t fools. They wouldn''t do anything to embarrass themselves. Besides, taking advantage of a good deal doesn''t make one a scoundrel. Since someone was treating and footing the bill, even if their own limelight might be overshadowed, it wasn''t a big deal.
However, regardless of the mindset of the people present, Wu Hao didn''t care. His perspective had long surpassed trivial matters like these.
Chapter 86: Dazzling Fireworks
Chapter 86: Dazzling Fireworks
When it was almost midnight that evening, Wu Hao''s first-ever ss reunion finally came to an end. Overall, the process of this reunion was enjoyable and sessful, with only a few individuals feeling envious or jealous of Wu Hao deep down.
After all, most people were pleased that they didn''t have a ssmate who intentionally showed off their sess and treated others poorly. It was aforting experience for everyone.
In the past, their ss reunions were self-funded, and the number of attendees was never high. There were barely twenty people, not even half of their original ss.
In fact, having this few people attend each time was considered good. After graduating from high school, some continued their studies at university, while others went directly to work outside.
Those who worked in other cities, of course, couldn''te back every year, and not everyone was willing to participate in ss reunions.
As for those still in university, although some came from well-off families, their ss didn''t have any true wealthy second-generation individuals who could afford to spend thousands or tens of thousands of yuan for a ss reunion.
So the people who willingly attended these self-funded ss reunions were either from the city, lived nearby, or had slightly better family conditions. They would gather a few days before the Lunar New Year to catch up.
Although it had been several years since Wu Hao had contact with them, most people were still happy to have a generous ssmate foot the bill.
As for intentionally belittling or mocking others, that kind of behavior didn''t ur. After all, these days, there weren''t many idiots like that. Even if some had reservations about Wu Hao''s showy spending, they wouldn''t make any inappropriate moves in public.
So, whether it was the initial dinner or the subsequent karaoke session, although Wu Hao remained the center of attention and the topic of discussion, everyone generally had a good time.
After the reunion ended, Wu Hao had a private chat with his best friend from the past, Hong Lei, and then bid farewell before returning to his hometown overnight. Hong Lei and a few others who didn''t live in the city went to a nearby hotel.
---------------------------------------------------
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the 30th day of the lunar new year. Since concluding the ss reunion two days earlier, Wu Hao had been staying at home, celebrating the new year with his family.
As soon as the clock struck midnight on the 30th day, vibrant fireworks erupted in the sky above Wu Hao''s vi, captivating the entire Shanci Vige and neighboring viges with their resounding booms and dazzling disys.
"Hong''s family is setting off so many fireworks; it''s almost like watching them on TV," remarked some vigers who were still awake, watching the Spring Festival G on television and noticing the spectacle happening at Wu Hao''s house. They were naturally amazed by the grandeur of the fireworks.
Because most people in the vige had never witnessed such arge-scale fireworks show before, although Wu Hao''s disy couldn''tpare to the dedicated fireworks shows in the city, it was still considered a massive event in their vige.
As soon as the fireworks began at Wu Hao''s house, they immediately overshadowed the sparse sounds and lights from other ces.
"Brother, it''s so beautiful! It''s the most beautiful fireworks I''ve ever seen!" eximed Wu Xiaoxiao, who stood in the yard with an equally excited expression.
"If you like it, I''ll prepare an even bigger fireworks show for your birthday," Wu Hao replied with a smile. Although he burned tens of thousands of yuan in just a few minutes, it was a small amount of money to him. After all, his fireworks disy was far inferior to the ones in some cities.
However, as soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, Zhang Hun, who was beside him, looked reproachfully and said, "I''m telling you guys! It''s nice to look at, but it''s such a waste to burn tens of thousands of yuan in just a moment!"
"Mom, it''s fine! Your son isn''tcking money now!" Wu Hao quickly reassured her. His frugal parents naturally felt distressed about him spending so much on these extravagant fireworks.
While Wu Hao''s father didn''t say much openly, his mother directly voiced herints. After all, both of them had been frugal their entire lives, so seeing Wu Hao spend money on these extravagant items naturally hurt their hearts.
"You may not becking money, but you shouldn''t spend it on things like this!" Zhang Hun continued to lecture.
Meanwhile, Wu Xiaoxiao, who was initially excited on the side, yfully stuck out her tongue when she heard her mother''s words. Although she loved the beautiful fireworks disy, she quickly realized her mother''s point had some validity, so she obediently remained silent.
At this point, Wu Hao naturally didn''t say much either and could only promise to be more restrained next time.
After the firecrackers and fireworks were set off, the new year officially began. Wu Hao returned to his room and as soon as he opened his phone, he discovered he had received numerous New Year greetings
Not only did he receive text messages on his phone, but there were also messages and wishes on QQ. However, most of these greetings were mass-sent, and only Li Xiaoyun, who had always been in contact with Wu Hao, wrote a short individual message to him.
Wu Hao had no intention of replying to the mass messages, so he only sent a reply to Li Xiaoyun.
...
On the afternoon of the third day of the lunar new year, Wu Hao was preparing to drive to the city''s bus station to pick up his aunt''s family. Before he left, Zhang Hun cautioned him, "Son, be careful on the road! I heard that there have been several idents on the road to the city during the new year."
"I know, Mom, don''t worry!" Although the road from the town to the city was winding and had less-than-ideal conditions, it posed no problem for Wu Hao.
As long as he didn''t encounter the same traffic congestion asst time along the way, it would be fine. Due to the poor road conditions and an increase in private cars on the road during the new year, especially with many inexperienced drivers, traffic jams were frequent.
There was even one incident where a car veered off the roadside and tumbled down the hill. The oue of such an ident was predictable.
As for his aunt''s family, although Wu Hao had only seen them when he was very young, he still had some impression of them. Moreover, he had essed all his past memories, remembering everyone and everything he had encountered from his birth until now.
Chapter 87: Giving You a Car
Chapter 87: Giving You a Car
When Wu Hao arrived at the city bus station, his aunt''s family of five had already been there for a while. After contacting them over the phone, Wu Hao quickly found his aunt''s family and had a brief conversation before they all got into the car.
Although there were four adults in his aunt''s family and Wu Hao''s young nephew, the seating in the car was a bit tight. Fortunately, the backseat of Wu Hao''s car was spacious enough, amodating three people and a child without feeling crowded.
Shortly after getting in the car, Wu Hao''s cousin, Liu Qin, couldn''t help but curiously ask him, "Cousin, this car must be expensive, right?"
Liu Qin was Wu Hao''s aunt''s only daughter. She got married a few years ago and now had a child of around four years old. Although she didn''t know much about cars, she recognized the emblem of a luxury brand. Seeing Wu Hao picking them up in such a luxurious car naturally sparked her curiosity and surprise.
Even months ago, through phone conversations with Wu Hao''s parents, they had learned that the financial situation at Wu Hao''s home had improved. Not only had they repaid the ten thousand yuan they owed to their aunt''s family, but Wu Hao''s parents had also given an additional one hundred thousand yuan as interest and gratitude for the borrowed money.
Initially, Wu Hao''s parents had borrowed money from his aunt''s family mainly to support Wu Hao and his sister Wu Xiaoxiao''s education. In fact, the financial situation in his aunt''s family was only average, and they couldn''t afford to lend out arge sum of money. Of course, when ites to borrowing money among rtives, there''s usually no discussion of interest or repayment. If interest were involved, then they wouldn''t be considered true rtives.
However, a few months ago when Wu Hao gave his parents several million yuan, they felt that their family was now considered wealthy, so they decided to give an extra 100,000 yuan.
The reason Wu Hao''s parents eagerly invited his aunt''s family toe back this time was twofold. Firstly, they wanted to gather together during the Lunar New Year and secondly, to pay respects to their ancestors.
At this moment, while driving, Wu Hao casually smiled in response to his cousin''s question, Liu Qin. He said, "Cousin, I don''t actually have that much money! If you like, I can give you and your husband a car as well."
Although this car was worth nearly 2 million yuan, money was something that came easily to Wu Hao. Even if he were to give his aunt''s family several million yuan in one go, it would be a piece of cake for him.
Because Wu Hao''s aunt was his father''s only direct rtive of the same generation, and they had lent a helping hand when their family was financially struggling before, now that he had the ability, it was only natural for him to help his rtives and friends.
However, Zhang Weiming, Liu Qin''s husband sitting beside her, was taken aback by Wu Hao''s words while driving ahead. He restrained himself from speaking out and said, "Cousin, are you joking? I actually have some knowledge about cars. This car of yours should be a Mercedes-Benz G500. The whole package, including the paperwork, would cost nearly 2 million yuan. Are you really going to give your cousin a car?"
Zhang Weiming didn''t mention receiving anything from Wu Hao. After all, Wu Hao and his cousin''s family were their true rtives. If Wu Hao really gave the car to his cousin, Zhang Weiming would likely be the one driving it. Actually, Zhang Weiming had wanted to buy a car for himself for a long time. However, both he and Liu Qin were ordinaryborers, and they were also saving money to buy a house in the county. So, buying a car had naturally been put on holdpared to buying a house.
As for buying a house, with the additional 100,000 yuan given by Wu Hao''s parents a few months ago, plus another 200,000 yuan they had borrowed for his aunt''s family, the house matter had already been resolved. They were buying a house in a small county, and spending around 300,000 yuan, including renovation costs, was already considered good.
At this moment, Wu Hao heard the uncertain inquiry from his cousin''s husband, Zhang Weiming. He directly smiled and said, "Brother-inw, I''m not joking. Let''s do this: I''ll transfer the money for buying a car directly to my cousin''s ount. When you go back, you can buy whichever type of car you like." Based on the recent interaction and observation, Wu Hao noticed that his cousin and her husband had a good rtionship, and it seemed like his cousin held a dominant position in the family. So, even if he gave money directly, it would naturally be for his cousin.
"Xiaohao, are you serious?" Liu Qin, Wu Hao''s cousin, was a bit stunned upon hearing this. Although they knew that Wu Hao''s family was well-off now, they didn''t have a clear idea of how much money they had. But now, Wu Hao casually mentioned wanting to give her a car worth nearly 2 million yuan and even giving her the cash to buy it herself.
Such generosity would require an immense amount of wealth to achieve! At this moment, not only Liu Qin but also Wu Hao''s aunt and uncle wore expressions of astonishment.
"Cousin, of course I''m serious. Send me your ount numberter!" Wu Hao said.
"Wow! Cousin, it looks like you''ve struck it rich! Since that''s the case, I''ll bask in your glory! I''ll also go get my driver''s license during the New Year. Actually, I''ve wanted to get my driver''s license for a long time," Liu Qin eximed upon hearing this, knowing that Wu Hao wasn''t joking. She immediately became excited.
Not only her, but Liu Weiming sitting next to her also wore a delighted expression. At the same time, he silently thought to himself that he should treat his wife, Liu Qin, better in the future. After all, Liu Qin and his aunt were the only ones who had a genuine blood rtionship with Wu Hao. If Liu Qin divorced Wu Hao, they would naturally lose that connection with him.
However, this issue was nonexistent for him, as he always listened to Liu Qin at home. Perhaps this was due to their personalities!
Although there is a saying that money corrupts men, if that money is in the hands of a woman, the likelihood of corruption bes even smaller.
In this way, during the continuous conversation on the way, and with the luck of not encountering any traffic jams today, Wu Hao was able to bring his aunt''s family back to the vi after just over an hour''s drive.
Upon seeing the appearance of Wu Hao''s new home, his aunt, cousin, and cousin''s husband, Liu Weiming, were naturally shocked. Although they had learned through their conversation with Wu Hao in the car that he had made a considerable amount of money through stock trading, they only had a rough guess in their minds.
And now, seeing that Wu Hao had actually built such a luxurious vi in their hometown, their spections couldn''t help but rise even higher. After all, even someone who didn''t understand much about houses could tell that a vi of this scale was not cheap. Wu Hao''s vi could be considered a small estate.
Chapter 88: Starting a Business
Chapter 88: Starting a Business
In the following period, Wu Hao''s aunt and her family stayed at his house for several days until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year when they returned to Xiangnan Province.
During this time, Wu Hao either stayed at home or visited friends and rtives, generously giving out various red envelopes. After all, his family was now considered the wealthiest in the vige and even the entire town.
Since he now had the means, during this festive period, Wu Hao didn''t hold back when it came to his neighbors, rtives, and anyone remotely connected to the vige. Whenever he encountered families with elderly or young members, he would either give out red envelopes himself or have his parents do it.
As for the content of these red envelopes, Wu Hao didn''t skimp. The smallest red envelope contained 200 yuan, while thergest could reach several thousand.
To amodate the distribution of these red envelopes, Wu Hao purchased hundreds of various-sized red envelopes. He also prepared cash totaling several hundred thousand yuan. It must be said that the feeling of giving out red envelopes waspletely different from receiving them.
If the recipients were happy and delighted, the act of giving out these extravagant red envelopes brought an even greater sense of satisfaction. Honestly, several hundred thousand yuan was a rtively small amount for Wu Hao now. However, spending it through red envelope distribution during the Lunar New Year gave him an extra sense of value. It felt more worthwhile than buying a car for millions or building a house for tens of millions.
As for Wu Hao''s promise to his aunt and her family, he did fulfill it in a casual manner. However, instead of giving his aunt a 2 million luxury car as he had initially mentioned, he transferred 5 million in cash to his aunt, allowing them to use the money as they saw fit.
Although Wu Hao could easily give more money to his aunt and cousin, he was well aware that 5 million was already a substantial sum for them. Giving more at this point might not be the best idea.
As for how his cousin and aunt would use the money, Wu Hao naturally wouldn''t interfere. The reason he gave them the money was solely because his aunt and his father were close rtives, and they had previously helped his family. Now that he had the means, coupled with a good reason for his newfound wealth, and his parents had already experienced several months of a wealthy lifestyle, epting that he had more money became more natural.
In other words, even if Wu Hao were to tell his parents that his worth was several billion, they might just show a slightly surprised expression rather than a shocked one. After all, in the past few months, they had gradually be ustomed to Wu Hao''s rapid umtion of wealth.
After the Lantern Festival, the Chinese New Year came to a close. On that day, after Wu Hao saw off his younger sister, Wu Xiaoxiao, as she returned to school, he met up with Hong Lei at a restaurant in the city.
After some eating, drinking, and casual chatting, Wu Hao casually asked Hong Lei, "Leizi, what are your ns at home now?" Wu Hao asked with the intention of offering some help. Now that he had be sessful, he didn''t want to be stingy with his former good friend.
Upon hearing Wu Hao''s question, Hong Lei immediately understood its meaning. Although he didn''t know the exact amount of money Wu Hao possessed, judging from the car he drove and the extravagance he disyed at ss reunions, Hong Lei knew that his old friend had definitely made it big.
Actually, Hong Lei had been considering borrowing money from Wu Hao as startup capital for his business, but he didn''t know how to ask. After all, discussing money was something Hong Lei was hesitant about. He also feared that Wu Hao might see him as the type of friend who only cared about money. So, even though hecked funds for the venture he wanted to pursue, he currently had no intention of asking Wu Hao for help.
However, now that Wu Hao had taken the initiative to ask him, Hong Lei naturally understood that Wu Hao wanted to lend him a hand. In his heart, Hong Lei felt grateful for this.
"Well, it''s nothing much. I just want to set up a small hardware processing store in the city. It''s the same line of work I''ve been doing for the past few years," Hong Lei casually said after taking a sip of beer.
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao had a rough idea of what Hong Lei intended to do. It was the type of small shop that dealt with hardware and processed doors and windows. The investment for such a shop wasn''t significant; it would only cost around 100,000 yuan to rent a storefront and purchase some processing tools and materials.
However, since Wu Hao had decided to genuinely help his good friend and also wanted to increase his own business assets, he couldn''t let Hong Lei go ahead with opening a small shop.
"Oh! Hardware processing? That''s great! But I think you should forget about running a small store. Let''s partner up and open a hardware processing factory instead," Wu Hao said with a slight smile, expressing his idea.
"A hardware processing factory? I''ve never done that before. Haizi, I know you want to help a brother out, but there''s no need to go all out like this. If, by any chance, I mess things up, I won''t be able to face you," Hong Lei shook his head and said.
Upon seeing this, Wu Hao simply smiled and said, "Don''t say that. While it''s true that I''m investing in this hardware processing factory to give you a hand, at the same time, I also want to increase my own business assets. You know, the money I''m earning right now is from the stock market. It''s like an overnight fortune. And when I talk about setting up this hardware processing factory, I don''t envision it as a small factory that operates at a loss. I have ns for significant investment. I see it as my own real business venture."
Hong Lei, upon hearing Wu Hao''s words, looked at him with disbelief and spoke to confirm, "Haizi, are you sure you''re not just having a momentary impulse but truly nning to make a big move?"
"Of course, it''s real! I don''t have time to joke with you!" Wu Hao replied with a halfugh and half-scolding tone. Although Wu Hao didn''t expect this hardware processing factory to make him much money, having a real business venture in his hometown was still necessary.
After all, having a business venture would give him a certain status in the eyes of others. It would solidify Wu Hao''s reputation as a "big boss." The title of "big boss" naturally carried the connotation of being wealthy in many people''s eyes. It also provided Wu Hao with a new avenue for his source of wealth.

Moreover, with Wu Hao''s abilities, even a small hardware processing factory, as long as he puts in a little effort and provides some advanced technical information, there is a possibility that this small hardware processing factory will soon be arge machinery processing factory on the maind, and it may even produce its own branded products!
You see, in the world today, if Wu Hao ims that the technology he masters ranks second in the world, no one dares to im to be number one.
After all, Wu Hao has even dabbled in controlled nuclear fusion, and in a matter of months, he will develop more advanced technologies and various scientific research equipment in his base deep in the Qinling Mountains, which will be ahead of the world.
It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as Wu Hao''s base development proceeds on the right track, it will not only support the transformation of a small hardware processing factory into argepany but also lead the entire human race to elerate the progress of scientific and technological development without any problem.
Of course, in the short term, Wu Hao will not release any advanced technology. Perhaps this situation will only be implemented gradually after he has a certain level of control over the whole world.
For now, Wu Hao will quietly develop within his own base, make necessary technological reserves, and then develop technologies for his own use.
Furthermore, Wu Hao''s primary task now is to solve his father''s illness. After all, he does not want to see his loved ones leave this world early due to illness when he has the ability to provide a good life for his parents and family. If there is anything that is the greatest regret in life, it is probably this.
Just like many billionaires in society today, they have abundant wealth butck a healthy body. However, Wu Hao is not just wealthy; he has mastered the most advanced technological skills in the world. For diseases that are currently unbeatable by humans, as long as he is given some time to prepare, he is fully capable of oveing them.
In this way, in the next few days, with Wu Hao taking the lead and financial support, a piece ofnd measuring 100 acres was purchased on the outskirts of the city. As for the construction of the factory and specific coordination with construction units, Wu Hao didn''t need to personally take charge. He entrusted all these tasks to Hong Lei for supervision andpletion.
Although Hong Lei was not familiar with these tasks, he didn''t need to be involved in the actual construction. Essentially, he yed the role of a supervisor.
As for the design drawings of the factory, Wu Hao was solely responsible for them. Designing a factory was a simple task for him, and it didn''t take much time for him toplete aplete set of ns for the factory and its rted facilities.
Originally, Wu Hao nned to first acquire a hardware machinery factory and then expand based on that. Unfortunately, there were no decent hardware machinery processing factories in Sanyuan City. After realizing this, Wu Hao decided to directly buynd and build his own factory. Starting from scratch seemed like a good choice.
However, Hong Lei, as one of the shareholders of this factory, was shocked and somewhat speechless by Wu Hao''s ambitious moves. Let alone anything else, just thend outside the city, which spanned over 100 acres, would cost tens of millions. If all thisnd was used for building the factory, the construction expenses alone would reach tens of millions. When considering the subsequent equipment purchases, it became clear that the overall investment in this factory would have to be several hundred million yuan at least.
On this day, after Hong Lei once again reviewed the factory ns designed by someone Wu Hao had found, he couldn''t help but ask Wu Hao curiously, "Brother Hao, with such arge investment in building the factory, do you have a clear n for its future main operations?"
By now, through these few days of contact with Wu Hao, Hong Lei had a rough idea of how much money Wu Hao possessed, at least several billion yuan. After all, from Hong Lei''s perspective, without such a significant amount of capital, how could Wu Hao have the confidence to invest so much money in building a factory?
However, in reality, Wu Hao only directly invested funds in purchasingnd and constructing the factory. As for the equipment the factory would need in the future, he had no intention of buying it from the outside. ording to his n, it would take at least six months, or even a year, toplete the construction of the entire factory. By that time, his base''s production capacity would certainly be mature enough, and manufacturing precision industrial equipment would be no problem at all.
As for the specific products the factory would produce and operate in the future, Wu Hao already had a rough idea when he decided to invest in building the factory.
Of course, Wu Hao wouldn''t reveal these ns to Hong Lei at this moment. So when he heard Hong Lei''s question, he simply smiled mysteriously and replied, "You don''t need to worry about the future operations of our factory. What you should focus on now is the construction of the factory. Although there is a specialized constructionpany in charge of the construction, you still have a lot to do. And during the construction period, take this opportunity to learn about management as well."
"Alright, I won''t ask further now. But you mentioned management, and to be honest, if you asked me to run a small shop, I wouldn''t have a problem. However, managing a factory... that''s a big challenge. I''m afraid it''s beyond my abilities," sighed Hong Lei.
To be honest, from the moment Wu Hao told him about buyingnd and building a factory, to the time thend was purchased in these past few days, Hong Lei had been in a state of shock. So, after learning about the scale of the factory from Wu Hao''s description, he voluntarily refused the initial offer of a 20% stake that Wu Hao promised him. He said that 5% would already be a tremendous advantage for him.
However, in the end, Wu Hao still gave him a 10% stake. To be honest, whether it was 20% or 10% had no real impact on Wu Hao. After all, Wu Hao didn''t n to invest much effort into this factory. The reason he chose to build it in the city was partly to support his good friend and partly to have a tangible industrial asset for himself.
Because relying solely on stock trading to conceal his source of wealth wasn''t a sustainable option. Moreover, investing in his hometown''s city could be seen as contributing to its development.
In reality, when Wu Hao proposed purchasingnd and building the factory to the municipal government, it wasn''t done in his own name. It was operated through the name of an overseas investmentpany.
Chapter 90: Hands-off Store Manager
Chapter 90: Hands-off Store Manager
His identity was the person in charge of the overseas investmentpany in the country. As for the overseas investmentpany, it was set up by Wu Hao through acquisitions and injecting funds, essentially just a figurehead.
The reason why Wu Hao did this was to facilitate various procedures and operations for the factory in the future. After all, having the identity of a foreign investor could at least eliminate many unnecessary troubles.
Moreover, if the factory developed well in the future, this identity could be used to better safeguard the interests of the factory itself. Just like manyrgepanies in the country, they establish offshorepanies overseas to evade high taxes and certain policies.
Furthermore, in various parts of the country, government officials pay particr attention to foreign investment. This can be considered a normal phenomenon in the country.
A few dayster, after delegating the construction of the factory to Hong Lei and taking care of some matters at home, Wu Hao returned to the base located deep in the Qinling Mountains.
The first thing Wu Hao did upon returning to the base was to once again take on the role of a transporter. He would order raw materials online and secretly transport them to the base during the night.
Although the base could already produce variousponents, it couldn''t produce raw materials on its own and had to purchase them from the outside. Among these raw materials, the majority were not voluminous, but the heaviest and most needed ones were various types of metal materials.
These metal materials were notrge in volume, but they were heavy. When Wu Hao made a round trip transporting several tons of metal materials, it might only be enough to manufacture aponent for a device in the end.
After Wu Hao transported these metal materials he purchased from outside back to the base, many of them couldn''t be directly processed. They needed to go through a process of being melted down and refined to remove impurities and improve the quality of the steel.
It''s not that Wu Hao didn''t want to purchase high-quality metal materials directly from the outside. The best metal materials in the country are currently controlled by the national defense industry, particrly the so-called specialty steels.
These things aren''t something that can be easily purchased within the country, especially considering the military-grade alloys. Wu Hao might not even be interested in them at the moment.
After constructing the nuclear fusion reactor, Wu Hao utilized the technology of the fusion reactor''s arc maic field to create a new type of arc metal refining furnace. Using the high temperature and pressure generated by electrical energy and electromaic fields, impurities are removed and the metals are purified. Then, ording to the new alloyposition, some other metals are added. Finally, using Wu Hao''s newly manufactured 3D metal printing device, the requiredponents are directly printed.
The alloys Wu Hao has currently produced areparable in strength and hardness to the highest-level alloys internationally. So now, Wu Hao only needs to purchase some refined steel from steel mills and some other additive metals from the outside.
However, the only trouble that bothers Wu Hao is not the purchase of these metals or their prices, but rather the cumbersome transportation. Every time, he has to act as a transporter during the night.
"It seems that in the future, the raw materials used in the base must be self-sufficient to a certain extent," Wu Hao murmured to himself after finishing the transportation work that evening.
Of course, although Wu Hao has this idea, implementing it specifically is not an easy task. From mining ores to preliminary smelting, these metal materials require aplex process. Unless Wu Hao designs and manufactures equipment capable of automated resource extraction in the future, it will be challenging.
Moreover, the most important point is that Wu Hao must carry out this task underground. Although the Qinling Mountains have abundant mineral resources, including iron ore and other metal veins, they are not gold mines.
However, the majority of these unexploited veins are deep within the Qinling Mountains. As for the veins in the peripheral areas, they have already been extensively developed by the country.
Wu Hao doesn''t want to haphazardly exploit the veins in the deep parts of the Qinling Mountains, considering the serious impact it would have on the surrounding terrain and environment.
However, about 1,000 meters below the slope of the mountain range where Wu Hao''s base is located, there is a good-quality underground iron ore vein. Although the reserves are not toorge, it is more than sufficient to meet the needs of the base.
Moreover, the most important aspect is that this vein is close to the base. While mining the vein, the depleted sections can be reinforced and developed into a dedicated area for extracting raw materials.
Anyway, Wu Hao''s base will definitely undergo expansion in the future as it develops. It''s not impossible for his base to be a massive underground fortress.
This time, Wu Hao stayed at the base for almost a month continuously. During this month, he mainly maintainedmunication with the outside world through phone calls.
To justify his busy work at the base to the outside world, Wu Hao simply exined that he was engaged in investment work outside, specifically in the financial industry.
Anyway, Wu Hao had already used the excuse of being his source of ie before. In reality, during this month, in his spare time, Wu Hao actually conducted a series of stock and futures trading through thepanies he had previously acquired. These trades were based on his analysis of current data.
Although the final profits were not substantial, they did add some amount to his ount. Considering that he didn''t spend much money, especially now that his base could already produce various small andrge parts and finished equipment at reasonable prices.
The expenses mainly revolved around purchasing raw materials, which, apart from a few rare materials that were rtively expensive, were generally cheap.
Ending the research at the base this time served two purposes. First, because the base was already capable of meeting Wu Hao''s remotemand needs. Second, because the series of documentaries he filmed in the Qinling Mountains was about to finish airing.
A few days ago, Wu Hao received emails from several media outlets that were granted the rights to the documentary. Naturally, they inquired about when Wu Hao would release the next series.
The documentaries Wu Hao had filmed could be considered among the top in the world when it came to nature documentaries. It wasn''t that the animal videos he filmed were particrly rare or unique, but rather because the lenses and perspectives he used in his documentaries surpassed the standards previously achieved in nature documentaries.
Chapter 91: The Mysterious North Latitude 30°
Chapter 91: The Mysterious North Latitude 30¡ã
After all, it''s not easy to capture the living habits of certain animals in the wild just by wanting to. Professional teams dedicated to filming wildlife, for example, often have to reside in a specific area for months or even years to capture footage of rare species in their natural habitats.
But Wu Hao ispletely different. He can scan a wide range through his mental perception. If hees across an animal he wants to film, he quietly flies over and uses telekinesis to control the camera, capturing the animal''s behavior from a 360-degree perspective.
This way, Wu Hao can film the daily habits of these animals without disturbing them.
In other words, while it may take others months or even years to capture a few shots, Wu Hao can aplish it in just a few hours or days.
Moreover, the quality of his footage far surpasses that of others. If a nature documentary of this caliber doesn''t receive attention, it either means the viewer simply doesn''t enjoy this type of program or they have poor taste.
In reality, although the audience for nature documentaries may not be asrge as that of TV dramas and simr programs, it is still a considerable number.
After all, in China, there have been several highly sessful documentary series in recent years, such as "A Bite of China" and various adventure programs.
Over the past few months, Wu Hao has received nearly one hundred million in copyright fees from these authorized media outlets, with the majoritying from the BBC, a foreign media organization.
Given that the BBC has a wider international reachpared to domestic media, they obtained the rights from Wu Hao and then sublicensed them to other television and online media organizations in different countries.
Moreover, these documentaries have decent viewership ratings and online streaming numbers, so it''s reasonable for Wu Hao to earn around 100 million RMB in a few months.
After all, these days, even an average popr TV drama can earn more money than that, not to mention movies.
"Now that the development of the base no longer requires me to stay there all the time, I can focus on filming the next series of documentaries!" After another month of construction, Wu Hao''s base now has a considerable number of automated equipment and industrial robots. Therefore, most of Wu Hao''s work, including equipment manufacturing andboratory experiments, can be done remotely by controlling these automated devices and robots.
As for the construction of the gic researchboratory at the base, it is still in the early stages. Developing and manufacturing the necessary instruments and equipment alone is a massive undertaking.
Moreover, the internal space of the base is still limited, so expanding the internal space is necessary to build theboratory. However, during this month, Wu Hao has been busy designing and manufacturing various devices, such as more advanced automation equipment and industrial robots.
Because only with more advanced and automated equipment can Wu Hao free himself from the need to personally handle everything. If this problem is not addressed, even if Wu Hao can use telekinesis for precise manufacturing, he will still be overwhelmed.
Now that the base has the initial capability toplete manufacturing tasks without Wu Hao''s direct involvement, and considering that his previous documentary series is about to finish airing, Wu Hao ns to allocate some time to continue filming the next series of documentaries.
After all, ording to Wu Hao''s original n, a new episode of the documentary series should be released every week. In fact, if it weren''t for the urgency of establishing the gic researchboratory to find a treatment for his father''s illness, Wu Hao wouldn''t have to be in such a rush to focus on the construction and development of the base.
Because Wu Hao''s original purpose in establishing this base was mainly to facilitate his own tinkering with some ck technology products for his own use, namely his aircraft project.
His initial goal in building this aircraft was to enable himself to fly during the day without being noticed by others. However, for now, he has temporarily set aside his aircraft project.
After all, all the resources of the base are now used to manufacture advanced gic research equipment. These devices not only have a wide range of categories but are also highly sophisticated and precise instruments.
Manufacturing these things is a process of starting from scratch for Wu Hao. Although there have been significant achievements in the research and manufacturing of such instruments in some developed countries abroad, what Wu Hao aims to do is to develop even more advanced equipment than what currently exists in the world.
Through covertwork infiltration, Wu Hao has secretly infiltrated some foreign gic research institutions and observed their equipment. He found that the technological level of the devices in these research institutions does not meet his research requirements, so he can only research and design more advanced equipment.
As for the location where Wu Hao ns to shoot the documentary, it has already been selected. It is the Shenlongjia Forest Area, not far from the Qinling Mountains. Shenlongjia, located at the mysterious North Latitude 30, has always been shrouded in various mystical legends.
The most famous among them is undoubtedly the wild man of Shenlongjia. Of course, apart from the area deep within Shenlongjia that few people venture into, the vicinity of the highest peak, Shenlong Summit, has long been developed into a nationally renowned 5A-level scenic area.
Since Wu Hao has decided to enter Shenlongjia to shoot a wildlife documentary, he will definitely avoid the areas near the tourist attractions. Although there are many daredevil adventurers these days who are not afraid to venture into the depths of Shenlongjia for exploration, none of them have made any substantial progress.
In fact, Wu Hao has long had a n in mind, which is to explore the fascinating regions located on this magicaltitude of the Earth, with China being his primary target.
There are many areas in China near the 30 North Latitude that are associated with various mysterious events. For example, Shenlongjia, the infamous Devil''s Triangle in the Poyang Lake near Huaxia, as well as the Yangtze River, the Himyan mountain range, and so on.
On this 30 North Latitude line, not only are there these regions with mysterious events, but also areas historically prone to frequent earthquakes are located near thistitude.
For instance, several major earthquakes in China over the past decade have urred in proximity to this mysticaltitude. It can be said that this is a mysterious and disaster-pritude line.
Chapter 92: Adventure Research Team
Chapter 92: Adventure Research Team
After deciding to go to Shendragon Ridge to shoot a documentary, the next day, Wu Hao made arrangements for the base and flew towards Shendragon Ridge under the cover of night, carrying two special boxes.
Inside these two boxes, one contained several high-definition cameras, small wireless cameras, and other electronic devices for shooting, while the other box contained various camping and cooking tools for outdoor living.
Although Wu Hao was going on an outdoor adventure and filming wildlife documentaries, he didn''t intend to endure the hardships of typical wilderness explorers. He had no intention of eating insects and animals raw, like that man named Beiye who stood at the top of the food chain.
Wu Hao had no sadistic tendencies. Why would he follow the survival methods of ordinary people in the wilderness when he had the ability to livefortably outdoors? That would be seeking unnecessary trouble.
Instead of facing a challenging and adventurous life in the wilderness, it was more urate to say that Wu Hao was embarking on an outdoor explorationbined with various cooking activities. The wilderness offered many delicious delicacies, such as the meat of sulent wild boars and rabbits, far superior to the pork and beef consumed in the city.
Wu Hao had gained a deep understanding of food through his increased consumption. As a result, his culinary skills had naturally improved.
That evening, after leaving the base and arriving at Shendragon Ridge, Wu Hao chose a t cliff deep within the ridge as his temporary campsite for the next few days.
"This Shendragon Ridge indeed possesses some kind of natural maic field. I can''t receive any satellite signals in this location." After setting up a simple tent for the camp, Wu Hao tried to connect his devices to the base but realized that Shendragon Ridge did have a natural maic field, just as the rumors suggested.
Because of this maic field, electronic devices were unable to receive external signals. In most areas of Shendragon Ridge, just like other primitive forests, electronic signals could be received, albeit with very weak strength. In the Shendragon Ridge scenic area, there were specifically installed mobile signal towers, allowing signal reception in most areas.
However, the ce where Wu Hao had arrived happened to be within the influence of a certain maic field. Although the location was rtively open, the external signals were directly blocked due to this maic interference.
Of course, if Wu Hao moved his devices towards the sky and out of the maic field range, he would be able to receive signals normally.
In fact, it wasn''t unusual for natural maic fields to interfere with signals. Humans had long possessed the technology to create chaotic maic fields to block signals, such as electronic interference used in military aircraft and other operations.
As for the other legend of the "wildman" in Shendragon Ridge, Wu Hao also held a skeptical attitude. He believed that the legend might refer to a humanoid primate species rather than a human. After all, there were still many unknown species in this world that humans had yet to discover.
s for Wu Hao, he had no active interest in exploring or studying the mysterious maic field of Shendragon Ridge or the legend of the wildman. He didn''t feelpelled to find answers to these things because his purpose foring to Shendragon Ridge was solely to film the wildlife there.
ording to Wu Hao''s n, he would only stay in Shendragon Ridge for a few days at most. Once he had captured the necessary footage of the animals, he would either return to the base or pay a visit to his family back home.
...
However, on the same day Wu Hao left the base, in Chang''an, an exploration team consisting of a national department and a wildlife research institution was busy with their preparations.
"Professor Lin, do you think we''ll really encounter the South China tiger in the depths of the Qinling Mountains this time?" The question came from a young man in his twenties who was currently studying biology at Huaxia University. The main reason he was able to participate in this scientific expedition team was that his mentor at the university, Professor Lin Weiping, was leading the team.
"There shouldn''t be any problem. Don''t forget that we have already conducted detailed research on the scenery and environment shown in that documentary. As long as we thoroughly search the designated areas, there is a possibility that we wille across traces of the South China tiger''s habitat," Professor Lin Weiping nodded confidently in response.
In fact, the reason why the scientific research expedition organized by Wu Hao received strong support was partly due to the mysterious manner in which he released the documentary. It caught the attention of certain departments and influential figures in the country.
Especially the cybersecurity department, which had been using various methods since the release of Wu Hao''s documentary to track his whereabouts. Unfortunately, Wu Hao''s method of releasing the videos was unheard of to them, so even after several months, they had made no progress in identifying the source of the videos.
The two domestic media outlets authorized by Wu Hao had also been investigated and followed up by the authorities. However, the contact between Wu Hao and these two media outlets was only through a one-way emailmunication.
Moreover, the email ount used was quite ordinary, and despite monitoring it, the authorities had not made any substantial progress.
Therefore, the department had to find alternative methods, and naturally, the filming location of Wu Hao''s documentary became one of their focuses.
The wildlife documentaries filmed by Wu Hao were not only innovative in terms of filming techniques but also in other aspects. Even professional teams with years of experience in wildlife filmmaking, both domestically and internationally, were amazed by the footage captured by Wu Hao.
These professional teams knew firsthand the difficulties of capturing wildlife in the wild. After all, whether filmingmon animals or rare species, it often required long periods of waiting and observation in the jungle.
Even capturing amon groundhog would take several days of effort, not to mention the extremely rare and scarce species.

Chapter 93: The Wooden House is Discovered
Chapter 93: The Wooden House is Discovered
On the morning of the second day, after the investigation team, led by Lin Weiping andposed of several graduate students from various universities in China, as well as a few members of the security department, had prepared all the necessary tools for their expedition to the Qinling Mountains, they boarded two military helicopters at a military airport in Chang''an.
Among the research team of about a dozen members, ten were specialized in the study of wildlife, just like Lin Weiping, while the remaining four were members of a specific security department within the government.
These four individuals not only carried all the necessary wilderness survival equipment but were also equipped with automatic weapons. They served as both assistance for the investigation and as security personnel for the research team.
"Everyone, we have approximately 20 minutes of flight left until we reach the first designated area. When wend, please pay close attention to safety. Make sure to follow thending procedures as we trained before," said Wang Hongtao, the security officer responsible for the research team and also the leader of a subgroup within a national security department. He naturally had to remind the ten members specialized in wildlife research who were on the aircraft.
After all, they hadn''t undergone extensive helicopter airborne training, and in the vast mountains of the Qinling Range, helicopters couldn''t justnd anywhere.
Therefore, they would use rappelling techniques to descend directly from the aircraft to the designated ground whennding. Once they had explored the designated target area sufficiently, they would then call for the helicopter to transport them to the next designated area.
"Colonel Wang, rest assured. We have already trained on how to descend from the aircraft in the past two days. There shouldn''t be any issues when wend," Lin Weiping confidently stated through themunication headset on the ne.
Although Lin Weiping was already in his 50s, his physical fitness was still decent. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have dared to lead the team into the vast mountains of the Qinling Range for research and investigation!
In this manner, after the two helicopters had flown for a few more minutes, a member sitting by the window suddenly eximed, "Professor, Colonel Wang, look over there on the cliff. It seems there''s a house."
"A house?" Wang Hongtao, who was sitting next to this young member who hadn''t reached 30 years old, immediately picked up his binocrs and followed his gaze. Upon looking, Wang Hongtao was also greatly surprised.
In the distance, below the cliff, there was indeed a small house. And this small house was the wooden cabin that Wu Hao had impulsively built on the cliffside amidst the vast forest.
Since the cabin was directly constructed on the cliff, not far from the mountaintop, as long as there wasn''t heavy fog or rainy weather in the mountains, the existence of this cabin could be spotted from a considerable distance.
When Wu Hao built this cabin, he was aware that itcked concealment. However, in his opinion, ordinary people wouldn''t be able toe to the deep Qinling Mountains, let alone find this cabin. Moreover, he built this cabin solely for his convenience to have a long-term ce of residence in the Qinling Range. Butter, after the construction of the base waspleted, he was indispensable for various aspects of the base''s development, so he spent most of his time in the base''s buildings, resting and working.
As for this wooden cabin, to be honest, it has been a long time since it was inhabited and managed. However, most of the items that were inside the cabin at the time are still there.
At this moment, after Wang Hongtao clearly saw the wooden cabin through the binocrs, he naturally wouldn''t let this opportunity pass. Because in the vast mountains, the existence of a cabin on such a cliff wall is truly captivating from any angle.
"There really is a small wooden cabin. Professor Lin, I think it''s necessary for us to take a look," Wang Hongtao''s astonishment shed in his eyes as he spoke to Lin Weiping beside him. He also handed the binocrs to Lin Weiping.
Lin Weiping took the binocrs and looked at the cliff that was getting closer. He also saw the wooden cabin hanging on the cliff wall.
"Colonel Wang, perhaps the answers we are seeking on this trip to the Qinling Range may be closely rted to this wooden cabin," Lin Weiping''s eyes gleamed slightly as he formted a rough hypothesis upon seeing the wooden cabin hanging on the cliff wall.
Moreover, his hypothesis was not far from the actual situation because this cabin was indeed built by Wu Hao, the filmmaker behind the highly mysterious documentary.
With Wang Hongtao and Lin Weiping almost reaching a tacit agreement, Wang Hongtao quickly instructed the helicopter pilots to fly to the cliff where the cabin was located.
In just a moment, the helicopters carrying the research team members and crew members arrived above the cliff where the cabin was situated.
"Professor Lin, I think we should cancel the previously designatednding area. I suggest we set up camp here for now and then proceed to explore the cabin below," Wang Hongtao, through visual estimation from the top of the cliff, got a general understanding of the cabin''s situation.
Although with their professional skills, they could directly descend from the aircraft to the cliff where the cabin was located, this expedition was not limited to just a few of them. Therefore, they had to consider all the members of the team.
Moreover, once the ropes were lowered from the top of the cliff where the cabin was located, it would be safe to reach the cabin.
Upon hearing Wang Hongtao''s suggestion, Lin Weiping naturally had no objections. As for the other members, they were equally curious about the cabin, eager to see it with their own eyes.
After all, the closer they got, the more peculiar the cabin seemed to be. They noticed that the cabin was recently built, and there were even sr panels on its roof.
In addition, the location of the cabin being on such a precipitous cliff made it even more intriguing. If such a cabin existed in a regr scenic area, they wouldn''t find it particrly surprising.
However, they were deep in the remote Qinling Mountains, far away from any town or city. This was not a nned scenic area by the government. The fact that someone had managed to build a cabin on a cliff in such an isted location was truly astonishing.

Chapter 94: High-Tech Communicator
Chapter 94: High-Tech Communicator
Soon, after all the members on the two helicopters had descended one by one, Wang Hongtao took the initiative to say to Lin Weiping, "Professor Lin, you should organize the team to set up camp here. I''ll take one team member to check the situation in that wooden house below."
Now, Wang Hongtao and all the members of the research team present knew that there should be no one living inside that wooden house; if there were, they would have noticed it long ago.
A few minutester, after Wang Hongtao had arranged for two of his subordinates to secure the ropes, he was the first to descend along the mountainside towards the wooden house below.
As Wang Hongtao reached the massive stone tform where the wooden house was located, the two subordinates following closely behind also descended and stood firmly on the tform.
"Boss, who do you think built this wooden house? Judging by its appearance, it seems like it hasn''t been inhabited for quite some time." After they pushed open the door of the wooden house, they could see everything inside clearly, and it was evident to them that no one had lived in this wooden house for a long time.
However, just as the group descended from the cliff andnded in the wooden house, their actions were captured by micro-cameras in two corners of the wooden house.
"Foreign invaders detected, beep! Initiating automatic contact with the boss for reporting, beep! Connection failed. Implement surveincemands! Also, attempt to connect with the boss every 5 minutes." The intelligent program ''Zero'' managing the base, located not far from the wooden house within the mountain, instantly executed a series ofmands upon detecting the group''s entry into the wooden house.
Thesemands had been set by Wu Hao. Although this wooden house didn''t have any security measures, Wu Hao had installed sr panels and surveince equipment, which were integrated into the base after hepleted its construction.
However, currently, Wu Hao was deep within the Shenlong framework, in a natural maic field area. Therefore, the intelligent program ''Zero'' at the base couldn''t immediately contact Wu Hao formunication and reporting; it could only execute the predefined surveincemands.
The two cameras positioned in the corners of the wooden house were concealed so well that the group hadn''t noticed the presence of surveince in the house.
The sr power system on the roof of the wooden house provided a small amount of power to the surveince system, but the rest of the electrical resources were used for lighting. Therefore, unless Wang Hongtao''s team conducted a careful inspection, it was challenging to detect the presence of surveince equipment in the wooden house.
Soon, after Wang Hongtao''s team had conducted a general inspection of the wooden house, their suspicions deepened. However, they were now absolutely certain that the wooden house was definitely associated with the organization that uploaded videos online.
Their biggest puzzle, however, was how someone could build a wooden house on the steep cliffs in such a primitive forest. The mere transportation of materials to this location presented a significant problem.
It would be no issue for a nation, but in China, aside from the central government, they were unaware of any other organization or force that possessed this capability.
It''s essential to know that China has strict controls over various weapons and aircraft. While private aircraft aremon in other countries, even some corporate entities have the capability to do such things, it''s not feasible in China.
"Boss, what should we do next?" After getting a general understanding of the wooden house''s situation, one of the team members asked Wang Hongtao.
Wang Hongtao contemted for a moment upon hearing this. "We''ll set up camp here for a while and immediately report the situation to the Bureau Chief."
On the other side, Wu Hao, who was currently within the Shenlong Framework, couldn''t receive the base''s information due to signal issues. However, he wasn''t idle and quickly engaged in the corresponding filming work.
The wildlife and nt life in the Shenlong Framework were incredibly diverse. Wu Hao had chosen to film species that hadn''t been documented before. The specific types of animals or insects depended on the rarity of the species he discovered.
In thete afternoon of that day, after finishing his daytime shooting, Wu Hao flew directly into the sky, ready to see if there were any important people or events trying to contact him.
And just as Wu Hao had flown into the sky for a while, his specially mademunicator received a message from the base''s intelligent program "Zero" and a call connection, along with two missed calls and several text messages.
Although Wu Hao''s primary purpose for thismunicator was to maintain constantmunication with the base and receive a series of orders, its additional phone functionality was notpromised, and it exuded a strong sense of technology.
Leaving aside other aspects, just the appearance of Wu Hao''smunicator was enough to outshine many smartphones currently on the market. Firstly, the size of thismunicator was not much different from thoserge-screen phones on the market, only slightly thicker.
However, due to the three-sided bezel-less design of thismunicator, it looked like those transparent phones that are still in the research and development stage when turned on.
Although Wu Hao''smunicator didn''t adopt a transparent design, its appearance looked just as impressive as those phones in the research and development stage.
Of course, the most important feature of thismunicator was not its appearance but its powerful functions and protective capabilities. It could be said without exaggeration that theputing power of Wu Hao''smunicator surpassed that of mostputers, and it even had virtual projection capabilities.
As for the other small functions, there was no need to mention them. In summary, ording to the current level of technological development in the world, it would likely take at least a decade or two to develop a product simr to Wu Hao''smunicator.
In other words, if Wu Hao wanted to enter the smartphone market now, all he had to do was take out 10% of the functions of thismunicator, and the resulting smartphone product would undoubtedly set a new standard for high-end phones.
However, Wu Hao didn''t have any intention of getting into the smartphone production business at the moment because he wasn''t short of money. Perhaps in the future, when he needed funds, he might invest some technology into products and industries to make money!
"Oh! The cabin has actually been discovered by someone." When Wu Hao saw the information sent to him by the base''s intelligent program "Zero," he was slightly surprised because he had never expected that in the vast Qinling Mountains, someone woulde.
Soon, Wu Hao connected to the base and asked the base''s intelligent program "Zero," "Zero, where are those people who discovered the cabin now?"
Chapter 95: The Hummingbird Unmanned Reconnaissance Aircraft
Chapter 95: The Hummingbird Unmanned Reconnaissance Aircraft
The base''s AI program ''Zero,'' although not yet a true artificial intelligence, could handle daily base management events quite perfectly as long as they didn''t involve emotions.
"Boss, for now, I only know that the few people who discovered the cabin are still near it and haven''t left. We need detailed reconnaissance to determine their exact location."
The discovery of this expedition team by the base''s AI program ''Zero'' was made through discreet cameras inside the cabin. Additionally, although the location of the cabin was not far from the base, it was not considered part of the core security zone.
The base''s AI program ''Zero'' was responsible for the core security zone of the base, which epassed the surrounding area of the base''s mountain peak and entrance. Within this range, there were numerous hidden wireless cameras. If necessary, the base also had small unmanned reconnaissance drones.
In terms of technology, these items were far ahead of the current world''s technological level by many years. After all, it concerned the security of their own base, so in this regard, Wu Hao had been very thorough.
As for the cabin on the nearby mountainside, Wu Hao had paid little attention to it after the base waspleted. In his view, this cabin was located deep in the Qinling Mountains, and the likelihood of it being discovered was extremely low. That''s why he didn''t bother with it. Otherwise, he might have dismantled the cabin long ago after the base was built.
However, the extremely low probability had still led to its discovery, which naturally had a significant impact on Wu Hao''s ess to and from the base.
Deep within the Shenlongjia forest area, upon receiving the report from the base''s AI program ''Zero'' through his receiver, Wu Hao didn''t hesitate. He immediately instructed, "Zero, dispatch two Hummingbird X-type reconnaissance devices from the base to the vicinity of the cabin for reconnaissance."
"Understood, boss," the base''s AI program ''Zero'' quickly responded.
In a matter of moments, at a hidden pile of rocks on a remote mountain peak where the base was located, a boulder weighing several tons shifted gently aside, revealing a cave entrance with a diameter of less than 1 meter.
On the entire mountain peak where the base was located, there were several such passages. Two of them served as channels for the base to dispatch aircraft to the outside world and as backup exits for Wu Hao to enter and exit the base. The other passages served as vents connecting the base to the outside world because, during the initial construction of the base, the internal air supply had to be drawn from the outside.
Perhaps in the future, when Wu Hao established a trulyrge underground base, the base''s interior would be equipped with a series of systems for oxygen production and venttion. Such a base would undoubtedly be built hundreds or even thousands of meters underground.
In truth, Wu Hao had long had ns to construct such arge base. However, if he were to build such a base, he would not continue to choose locations within the Qinling Mountains or ind. Instead, he would opt to construct the base near the sea or on some ind.
Because only by building the base near the sea could Wu Hao effectively utilize various marine resources for his benefit in the future. Taking the raw materials for the fusion power generation equipment currently used in Wu Hao''s Qinling base as an example.
If the Qinling base were not far from the sea, Wu Hao might have already established a device for separating and extracting deuterium from seawater. Of course, seawater wouldn''t just be used for extracting this one substance and element; it contains various minerals as well.
However, the reality was quite the opposite. Wu Hao''s Qinling base was quite far from the sea. Therefore, he considered it as apletely self-owned industrial technology incubator. When he established branch bases in the future, he would undoubtedly choose coastal areas or certain inds.
At this moment, after receiving Wu Hao''smand, the base''s AI program ''Zero'' dispatched two Hummingbird X-type reconnaissance devices. After the passages were opened, these devices, like two agile birds flying in the night sky, swiftly headed in the direction of the cabin.
These small unmanned reconnaissance devices, named Hummingbird X, while not resembling birds in appearance and using a propeller-driven flight method, are virtually silent in flight due to their t shape and the advanced materials and technology used to manufacture them, far surpassing current technology.
Although their flight and mission execution times are not long, only about half an hour, they are capable of detailed and covert reconnaissance in a several-kilometer radius around the base.
Especially in the nighttime jungle, the possibility of people discovering them is close to zero. Even if they carry electronic reconnaissance equipment, they cannot detect Wu Hao''s unmanned reconnaissance devices, as there is a significant technological gap between them.
Soon, as these two Hummingbird unmanned reconnaissance devices left the mountain peak of the base and arrived at the mountainside where the cabin was located, the high-definition night vision cameras on the aircraft spotted the location of the exploration team in just a few minutes of silent reconnaissance. Wu Hao roughly understood the purpose of this exploration team in Qinling.
"It seems that this exploration team won''t be leaving the cabin in the short term. If that''s the case, when I transport supplies from the outside back to the base in the future, the likelihood of being discovered will greatly increase. This is not good news!" After listening to some of the conversation of this exploration team, Wu Hao roughly understood the situation. Although he was not worried that they would discover the existence of the base based on the cabin alone, there was a significant risk of exposure if he transportedrge quantities of supplies from the outside to the base in the future.
Of course, if Wu Hao was only carrying a small amount of items in and out of the base, he would not be exposed. After all, this was the depths of the Qinling Mountains, with mountain peaks and various tall trees serving as natural barriers. Even at night, not to mention during the day, Wu Hao could easilye and go alone with a small load.
However, during the day, he couldn''t fly freely in the sky, only shuttle through the forests.
But now that the cabin had been discovered by the outside world, if Wu Hao didn''t solve this problem, it would continue to have a significant impact on his entry and exit from the base. Therefore, Wu Hao must address this issue now.
Chapter 96: Encountering a Wild Person
Chapter 96: Encountering a Wild Person
As for the discovery of the cabin near the base by outsiders, while it needs to be resolved promptly, finding a good solution won''t be an immediate matter. Besides, Wu Hao still needs to gather documentary material in Shennongjia. Even if he needs to address this issue, it''ll have to wait until he finishes his work in Shennongjia and returns to the base.
Currently, the base''s location and its entrances are extremely well-hidden and environmentally disguised. The chances of it being discovered are virtually nil unless this group possesses more advanced technology than Wu Hao, allowing them to detect the base''s presence through scanning devices. However, as long as Wu Hao remains discreet when entering and exiting the base, it should remain secure.
Over the next two days, while Wu Hao was busy filming various nts and animals in Shennongjia, the expedition team at the nearby cabin location had established a sizable camp on the mountaintop. During this time, they transported not only a substantial amount of supplies by helicopter but also various equipment. So, on the second day after discovering the cabin, while conducting a thorough inspection, they finally noticed several hidden cameras inside the cabin.
However, despite discovering the cameras, they didn''t find any recorded footage. The reason is that these cameras transmit their footage wirelessly in real-time directly to the base. Moreover, the moment they discovered the cameras, the base''s intelligent program ''Zero'' immediately severed the connection between the cameras and the base. Consequently, the likelihood of them finding the other end, the ''base,'' using these cameras is extremely low.
On this day, while Wu Hao was doing what had be his usual routine of filming videos of wildlife in the forests of Shennongjia and searching for animals using his psychic senses, something peculiar came within his psychic perception range.
"Could this be the rumored Shennongjia wildman?" Wu Hao had discovered a special creature through his psychic senses. It wasn''t anything else but a humanoid ape-like creature, reminiscent of early primitive humans. Wu Hao referred to them as humanoid apes because these creatures were substantially different from known apes on Earth. First and foremost, they walked upright, standing at approximately 1.6 meters tall. They had robust limbs and long ck hair all over their bodies, with heads that resembled humans to a significant degree.
At this moment, when Wu Hao discovered this humanoid ape-like creature, he immediately set aside the equipment he was using to film. Compared to the animals he was currently filming, this "wildman" that appeared in his psychic perception was naturally more intriguing.
As a result, Wu Hao quickly stowed his filming gear and stealthily moved towards the location where he sensed the presence of this humanoid ape.
He wasn''t worried about revealing his presence because he had psychic perception, which allowed him to clearly detect his desired targets even from a considerable distance. Moreover, with his psychic abilities, he could move silently and effortlessly through the forest.
Wu Hao had no intention of suddenly appearing directly in front of the creature. He nned to use his psychic powers to control small cameras to observe the situation first.
In just a matter of moments, Wu Hao, with the grace of a swallow, appeared on arge tree branch about 200 meters away from the humanoid ape. Simultaneously, the two cameras controlled by his psychic powers positioned themselves about a dozen meters above the creature. Wu Hao didn''t recklessly expose the cameras in front of the creature.
Although Wu Hao had only observed the humanoid ape for a short period, he had noticed that this creature seemed to possess a significant level of intelligence. Primates, by nature, are biologically close to humans, and even though this humanoid ape differed greatly in appearance from modern humans, it bore striking resemnce to early humans recorded in history.
Therefore, although Wu Hao''s observation was brief, he was quite certain that this humanoid ape likely possessed intelligence far beyond that of any typical ape species. With this in mind, if Wu Hao suddenly brought cameras right in front of the creature, it would likely startle it. Intelligent species tend to react differently when encountering unknown thingspared to ordinary animals.
"Hmm! This ape-man is actually foraging for mushrooms and wild fruits! If that''s the case, it will probably return to its nest soon! It seems there might be more than one of these ape-men deep within Shennongjia." Quickly, Wu Hao used his psychic perception to determine what the humanoid ape was doing. After making this observation, Wu Hao began to form a rough hypothesis.
This suggested that in the depths of Shennongjia, there were likely more than just one of these humanoid apes with seemingly high intelligencepossibly several or even dozens. As forrger numbers, Wu Hao didn''t contemte it much.
After all, if their numbers exceeded several hundred, their presence might have already been discovered by the outside world, as arger group would need a broader foraging range.
However, if there were just a few dozen or even fewer than that, the resources within this canyon would likely suffice for their survival. Whether or not Wu Hao''s current spections were urate could only be confirmed by following this humanoid ape back to its nestter.
This humanoid ape didn''t keep Wu Hao waiting for long. After foraging in the valley for a little over an hour, it headed in another direction within the valley, carrying a leather bag made from animal hides.
Wu Hao, through his covert observations during this hour, became increasingly certain that this humanoid ape possessed intelligence. For instance, when foraging for wild fruits and mushrooms, it understood the concept of leaving unripe fruits behind and only gathering those that were fully ripe.
Moreover, it even used a tool made from animal hides as a container. Based on these observations alone, it was clear that these creatures fell within the category of intelligent beings.
Chapter 97: The Mysterious Underground Passage
Chapter 97: The Mysterious Underground Passage
While the pouch made from some sort of animal skin that this ape-like creature was usingcked any craftsmanship or aesthetics, the situation was strikingly simr to ancient humans from the Stone Age.
In the Stone Age, humans, in addition to learning how to use fire and stone tools, also naturally utilized the hides of various animals for warmth and storage.
"I didn''t expect to find a humanoid ape species living deep within the Shennongjia area, almost identical to humans during the Stone Age. If this news were to be known to the outside world, it would likely cause a huge sensation," Wu Hao whispered to himself as he silently trailed the creature.
However, despite his amazement, Wu Hao had made up his mind from the moment he discovered this ape-like creature. He would not share any videos or information about it with the world.
After all, if he were to release the footage, the impact on the world would be iparable to his previous discovery of the South China Tiger.
By that time, not only would domestic government agencies organize numerous experts to analyze the environmental and geographical locations in the video, but various international organizations and experts would undoubtedly swarm in as well.
Therefore, Wu Hao had already decided not to disclose anything he discovered about this creature, no matter what he found when he followed it back to its nest. This would help him avoid unwanted interference from the outside world.
After slowly following the ape-like creature through the valley for about half an hour, the creature entered a narrow, natural cave in the mountains.
"It seems like this cave is the creature''s nest," Wu Hao thought to himself. However, instead of immediately entering the cave, he decided to expand his mental perception to ''see'' what the environment inside the cave was like.
The entrance to this cave was narrow and elongated, and to the naked eye, one could only see a few meters inside from the outside. However, just as Wu Hao was about to use his mental perception to explore the interior of the cave, the results of his probe greatly surprised him.
"My mental perception can only reach about a dozen meters into the cave before it''s blocked. It seems there''s some kind of special maic field inside the cave that''s preventing my mental perception from prating any further," Wu Hao thought, puzzled by this unexpected development. He pondered whether or not he should enter the cave to investigate further.
To be honest, ever since Wu Hao gained telekinesis and mental perception, he had always felt a sense of control when venturing into the wilderness. With his telekic abilities allowing him to move freely through the forest and his mental perception scanning his surroundings, he had absolute control over a significant portion of the environment around him.
It was because of this control that he had not considered the primitive jungles, which were full of various dangers for ordinary humans, as a serious threat. However, the fact that the cave this creature entered was blocking his mental perception with some kind of special maic field meant he couldn''t ''see'' whaty ahead, and that left him feeling ufortable.
"Since I''m already here, it would be quite boring not to explore further. Although my mental perception can''t fully prate the cave, it can extend a few meters. Plus, I have telekinesis for protection. Even if there are dangers inside the cave, I should be able to handle them," Wu Hao thought. With this in mind, he made up his mind to enter the cave and see whaty ahead.
After all, the allure of the unknown was immense for those with adventurous and exploratory spirits. Otherwise, there wouldn''t be so many people in the world knowingly venturing into dangerous ces.
While Wu Hao''s own adventurous spirit might not have reached such extremes, he still decided to explore the unknown in this case, especially given the presence of telekinesis.
He immediately took out his illumination device and a night vision camera from his belongings, proceeding slowly into the cave.
Upon entering the cave, Wu Hao had traveled less than 10 meters when he noticed that the passage was gettingrger. The cave''s passage wasn''t a straight line but rather winding and twisting. After advancing another dozen meters or so, he encountered a fork in the path.
Instead of rushing to make a choice at the fork, Wu Hao observed the ground of both passages. He quickly noticed faint footprints on the right-hand passage, evidently left by the creature he had been following.
Seeing this, Wu Hao naturally chose the right-hand passage and continued to advance slowly. Due to the interference his mental perception faced within the cave, limiting its range to about 5 meters, Wu Hao''s progress was quite slow.
As he progressed, Wu Hao continuously observed the surroundings of the cave. With each step into the right-hand passage, he made a new discovery. The cave not only twisted and turned but also descended further as he advanced.
ording to Wu Hao''s analysis, from the moment he entered the cave until now, he had descended at least 30 meters below the surface. The winding cave passage had also extended to nearly 200 meters in length.
"This cave is quite deep, and there''s still no light. I wonder how that ape-man moves around so easily in here," Wu Hao thought. Although he had traveled hundreds of meters and encountered a few forks in the cave, he hadn''t encountered any danger, so he patiently continued to make his way deeper into the cave.
After navigating through the cave passage for a half hour, Wu Hao encountered two more forks and finally made a new discovery.
"There''s light ahead. It seems I''ve reached the core of this cave." After spending so much time in this deep and dark cave, encountering several forks along the way, Wu Hao was relieved to see some light up ahead. Without his exceptional analytical skills, telekinesis, and limited-range mental perception, he likely wouldn''t have reached this point in such a short time.
ording to Wu Hao''s calctions and mental records since entering the cave, he estimated that he was now at least 300 meters lower in altitudepared to the cave entrance. This meant that the space ahead of him was located several hundred meters underground. Despite the entire cave passage being dark, there was noticeable soft light emanating from the area up ahead. This alone hinted at some kind of hidden secret within this underground chamber.
Chapter 98: The Hidden Paradise Underground
Chapter 98: The Hidden Paradise Underground
After noticing a faint light ahead, Wu Hao continued to move slowly. After a while, he discovered the source of the light. It turned out that these lights were noting from the core area deep within the cave, as he had initially imagined, but rather from the rocky walls surrounding the passage.
The walls emitting this faint light were made of a very special kind of stone. While the light from these stones was dim, there were many of them, allowing him to see everything clearly in the entire cave passage with his naked eye.
However, Wu Hao didn''t pay too much attention to these glowing stones. His curiosity was focused on whaty ahead in the unknown passage.
With the appearance of the glowing passage, Wu Hao continued to follow the winding path. After about ten more minutes of walking, his field of vision gradually expanded. At the same time, the light, which was initially sparse, became brighter. Upon noticing this, Wu Hao immediately slowed down and continued forward.
In no time, Wu Hao finally saw the scene in front of him. "I didn''t expect to find such a ce at the end of this passage, like a paradise," Wu Hao eximed in astonishment.
Wu Hao was truly surprised because the sight before him was quite astonishing. The underground space at the end of this passage was not only enormous and well-lit, but it was also adorned with numerous vines and nts. In addition to these vines and nts, Wu Hao naturally noticed several figures that resembled the ape-like creatures he had seen earlier.
However, there was no path ahead in the passage where Wu Hao stood. Instead, there was a cliff that dropped to a depth of nearly a hundred meters. Yet, at the edge of the cliff at the end of the passage, there were many vines, which were likely the means by which these ape-like creatures climbed in and out of the passage.
However, while Wu Hao was observing the cave, the ape-like creatures below also instantly noticed his presence. Immediately, these creatures began to panic and gather together, emitting frantic howls.
As the ape-like creatures below gradually gathered, Wu Hao, through visual estimation, roughly understood their situation. There were approximately 50 of these creatures, varying in size, and the underground space had an irregr circr shape with a height of about 200 meters and a width of nearly two kilometers at its widest point.
Inside, there were roughly a dozen types of nts, mainly vines with a small number of trees. As for animals, only these ape-like creatures were present.
Wu Hao''s position in the passage was on the cliff wall of this underground space. Besides the passage he was in, Wu Hao also saw two other passages at roughly the same height and location in the distance.
In other words, among the various forks Wu Hao encountered on his way, some could also lead to this mysterious underground space.
After carefully observing for a moment, Wu Hao naturally noticed the nervous gathering of the ape-like creatures below, all of them eyeing him with caution.
However, Wu Hao paid no mind to this. His purpose in entering the cave was purely out of curiosity, and now that he had a clear view of the cave''s interior, he had no intention of hiding anything. He was prepared to make direct contact with this group of ape-like creatures.
After all, these ape-like creatures seemed to possess some level of intelligence, so as long as he kept his actions simple, they should be able to understand him.
With this in mind, Wu Hao made a direct leap from the edge of the cave entrance, flying towards the gathering of these ape-like creatures.
However, when the group of ape-like creatures below, originally huddled together in nervousness, saw Wu Hao leaping towards them, their previous wariness immediately dissipated considerably. Some of them even let out excited howls.
"Why did these creatures suddenly change like that? Could it be because I can fly?" Wu Hao, who had flown to a spot not far from these creatures on the treetop, naturally noticed the abnormal behavior of these creatures. Although he couldn''t understand the meaning of their howls, he could distinguish between fear and excitement.
After all, having filmed so many animals in the wild, he was already very familiar with the behavior of many animals. Regardless of the species, there were distinct differences in the sounds they made when they were afraid or excited.
Seeing this situation, Wu Hao felt somewhat puzzled. So, he tentatively spoke, "Can you understand what I''m saying?" Although Wu Hao didn''t hold much hope for this, seeing these ape-like creatures suddenly be so excited, he asked with a try-it-and-see attitude.
"Wu... Wu..." Unexpectedly, among this group of ape-like creatures, an elderly-looking one stepped forward upon hearing Wu Hao''s words. It bowed to him and emitted soft howls.
"You understand what I''m saying?" Wu Hao found this rather astonishing. He had casually spoken, but among these ape-like creatures below, there was indeed one that seemed to understand his words. However, it appeared that this ape-like creature, despite understanding him, couldn''t speak like humans.
While making sounds, this ape-like creature, with yellowed fur all over its body, also nodded toward Wu Hao. Seeing the performance of this seemingly aged creature, Wu Hao was convinced that it could understand him.
With this in mind, Wu Hao briefly exined his purpose, "I identally discovered your people gathering food in the valley outside. Out of curiosity, I followed you in here. Don''t worry, I won''t reveal your situation to the outside world. You don''t need to worry about being disturbed by outsiders from now on."
Upon hearing Wu Hao''s words, the creatures below immediately gestured and then bowed deeply. Subsequently, this particr ape-like creature emitted several more howls, and the surrounding creatures also bowed to Wu Hao.
"Could it be that these creatures have taken me as a descendant of some deity they worship? Otherwise, their attitude wouldn''t have changed so quickly after seeing that I can fly." Wu Hao watched the behavior of these creatures in front of him and secretly spected. In fact, the situation was just as Wu Hao had guessed.
These creatures had indeed recognized him as a descendant of a deity their ancestors had worshiped. In reality, these ape-like creatures had thrived in this underground cave for thousands of years. However, due to the limited size of this underground space and their adherence to a certain ancestral decree that forbade them from leaving freely, their numbers had always been kept within a certain range.
Nevertheless, Wu Hao was unaware of these details. So, as he saw these creatures disying such obedience towards him, he began to form a n in his mind.
Chapter 99: Reading Memories
Chapter 99: Reading Memories
He nned to use his unique mental perception ability to directly read the memories of the slightly older ape-like creature. This way, he would be able to understand theirnguage and learn more about their specific situation.
However, he could only read memories through mental perception if the other party agreed without resistance. Otherwise, with his current abilities, he couldn''t forcibly ess anyone''s brain memories.
In fact, Wu Hao had known about this mental perception ability for a long time, but he hadn''t found a suitable situation to use it. Plus, unless there was a special reason, he wasn''t inclined to invade others'' memories.
Moreover, he could only use this ability if the other party didn''t resist. In the face of thenguage barrier with these ape-like creatures, Wu Hao naturally thought of this straightforward method.
Since these creatures seemed to be obedient to him, he believed that if he exined the situation, this ape-like creature would not refuse.
Therefore, Wu Hao directly conveyed his intention to ess and read the creature''s memories, with the goal of understanding itsnguage. As he expected, the ape-like creature did not refuse but instead behaved with great solemnity, as if preparing for some significant ceremony.
In reality, for this ape-like creature, Wu Hao''s request was indeed a significant ritual. In its memories, it had experienced simr rituals conducted by its ancestors a long time ago.
Of course, Wu Hao had no knowledge of this, and this memory for the ape-like creature was from a very long time ago. You see, this creature had lived for nearly 300 years.
This means that this hidden paradise within the cave had not been entered by humans for over 300 years. As for whether individuals with extraordinary abilities had entered this ce in ancient times, Wu Hao didn''t know. However, based on the way this ape-like creature reacted to him flying, it wasn''t difficult to specte that he wasn''t the first human to enter this ce.
"Very well, since you''ve agreed, please don''t resist. I will proceed to read your memories," Wu Hao nodded and said to the old ape-like creature.
Upon hearing this, the old ape-like creature became even more solemn. Simultaneously, the surrounding creatures began to move away, creating a circr space with a diameter of approximately 10 meters.
Wu Hao, floating in the branches, immediately leaped down to stand in front of the old ape-like creature. Seeing that the old ape-like creature had closed its eyes solemnly, Wu Hao slowly extended his hands and ced them on the creature''s head. He activated his mental perception, instantly entering the creature''s brain to read its memories.
As Wu Hao continued to read the old ape-like creature''s memories, he not only learned about their living conditions in this space and theirnguage but also marveled at the long years this creature had experienced. He couldn''t believe that this old ape-like creature had lived for over 300 years. This revtion surprised Wu Hao considerably. Moreover, among this group of ape-like creatures, there were several others that had also lived for over 200 years.
Wu Hao had also learned the reason behind the longevity of these creatures from the memories of the old ape-like creature. It was all due to a spring formed from a stctite at the central altar of this underground space. This spring periodically produced a special liquid.
This liquid was called "Holy Water" by these ape-like creatures, and the reason they existed in this ce was to guard this Holy Water. However, from the memories of the old ape-like creature, it had been over 300 years since anyone came to collect this "Holy Water."
After learning all of this from the old ape-like creature''s memories, Wu Hao became highly interested in this so-called Holy Water. Of course, he wouldn''t deny his identity in the eyes of the old ape-like creature.
Since there had been no "emissaries" appearing in the memories of this old ape-like creature for nearly 300 years, the possibility of their appearance now was almost zero. After all, over 300 years ago, China was still in the early Qing Dynasty!
As for how many individuals with extraordinary abilities existed in ancient China, Wu Hao didn''t know, and he didn''t care to investigate. This was modern society, and many ancient esoteric arts and abilities had long been buried in the annals of history. During the old days in China, many ancient traditions and heritages, some of which had been passed down for thousands of years, had been destroyed during the campaigns against the "Four Olds." People back then were essentially brainwashed, and that period of China''s history was considered a dark era.
At this moment, after Wu Hao finished reading the memories of the old ape-like creature, he adopted a more solemn demeanor to align with the old creature''s perception of him as an emissary. However, his actions were somewhat redundant because he didn''t need to prove anything. Firstly, no humans had entered this ce for hundreds of years.
Moreover, anyone who entered this ce was definitely not an ordinary person. When Wu Hao first entered and the ape-like creatures noticed him, they all appeared on guard. However, as soon as Wu Hao demonstrated his flying ability, their attitudes immediately changed.
"Now, Chief Damm, take me to the altar!" Wu Hao regained hisposure and directly addressed the old ape-like creature.
He spoke in humannguage because the old ape-like creature understood it. Although he had learned thenguage of these creatures from the old ape-like creature''s memories, he found it somewhat strange to imitate their vocalizations. Thus, he chose tomunicate in a more conventionalnguage.
Wu Hao had also learned the name of this old ape-like creature from its memories. He also learned that among these creatures, only their leader and a few others had names, while the ordinary members did not.
Regarding their intelligence, although it was rtively high, it still fell short of humans. At most, they possessed the intelligence of a human child of around ten years old.
Among them, the intelligence of this old ape-like creature was undoubtedly the highest, as it had lived the longest and held the position of the tribal leader.
"Great Messenger of the Gods, please follow me." The old ape-like creature, upon hearing Wu Hao''s request, immediately bowed respectfully and then walked towards the central location.
Within this space, Wu Hao''s mental perception was somewhat limited, so he couldn''t instantly grasp everything in the environment. He followed behind the old ape-like creature, slowly making his way towards the central area.
Chapter 100: The Altar and the Holy Water
Chapter 100: The Altar and the Holy Water
After advancing for a while, passing through many trees, vines, and rocks, Wu Hao, along with the group of apes behind him and the guiding old ape in front, arrived at the central area of this underground space.
This ce, referred to by these apes as the "altar," is usually off-limits to any ape. Even now, except for the guiding old ape and Wu Hao, the other apes stopped their steps when approaching the periphery of the altar.
Arriving at the central position of the altar, Wu Hao quickly noticed a small circr pool enclosed by stones. It could be more urately described as a rock formation resembling andscape feature found in a park.
However, the central circr pool in this altar was entirely different from ordinary stones found outside. The entire structure, which stood at less than 3 meters tall and upied an area of less than 2 meters in size, had a crystalline white appearance. At the center of this structure was a concave area about the size of a porcin bowl, containing a milky-white, translucent liquid that filled about 3/2 of the concave space.
Seeing this, Wu Hao understood that this unknown liquid was likely the "Holy Water" mentioned by these apes. "I wonder what this crystal-clear liquid is and how it can allow these apes to live for hundreds of years," Wu Hao thought to himself. Although he didn''t know what this substance was, from the memories of the ape, he knew that despite being less than a porcin bowl''s worth, it had taken hundreds of years to umte this much.
Based on this alone, it''s clear that this liquid must be something extraordinary. Although these apes consumed small amounts of it at regr intervals over the past few centuries, most of it has been preserved intact.
"Chief Dam, this time I will only take a small amount of this holy water with me. The rest, you and your people should continue to guard it well," Wu Hao pondered for a moment and spoke to the old ape beside him.
While this old ape possessed the highest intelligence among all the apes here, it didn''t have any ulterior motives. In its eyes, guarding this "holy water" was the lifelong duty of their ape n.
The reason Wu Hao only intended to take a small amount of the liquid this time was twofold. First, he currentlycked suitable containers for storage. Second, he couldn''t guarantee that carrying away these liquids wouldn''t cause them to lose their effectiveness.
Therefore, for the sake of caution, he thought it best to take only a small quantity and, once back at his base, conduct research and analysis. If necessary, he could return here with specialized equipment to collect more of this mysterious liquid.
"Great Divine Emissary, guarding the holy water is our duty, and we will protect it with our lives," Chief Dam solemnly dered.
Seeing a rtively short ape standing before him, speaking in this manner, Wu Hao couldn''t help but be reminded of the movie of the Apes." These apes in front of him were like a real-life version of that film!
For the next few hours, Wu Hao participated in a ritual held by the ape group at the altar. Afterwards, he explored the entire underground space. Finally, he used a container simr to a small bamboo tube, provided by Chief Dam, to collect a few drops of the "holy water." He sealed it carefully with another section of the container and handed it over to Wu Hao with great solemnity.
Seeing the container brought by Chief Dam, Wu Hao understood that these procedures had been passed down among the apes for generations.
This bamboo-like nt was one of the few types of vegetation in this space. The unique underground environment was illuminated entirely by the luminous stones that filled the overhead space. These stones provided constant light, ensuring the brightness of the entire area and meeting the growth requirements of certain nts.
The nts able to survive in this underground space were vastly different from those on the surface. They had adapted to the unique light and environmental conditions of this underground world. These nts were essentially an entirely new species unknown to humans.
After receiving the "holy water" from Chief Dam, Wu Hao didn''t linger any longer. He had a basic understanding of this underground space now. Whether it had formed naturally or was a relic of some ancient Earth civilization didn''t matter to him. What he knew was that he was the only one who had discovered it so far.
Inside this underground space, the most important thing was undoubtedly the liquid that required a long time to umte. Based on the information he had obtained from Chief Dam''s memories, he knew that these liquids formed once a year, and it took a whole year for a single drop to appear. Given the significant amount in the small depression below, it was clearly the result of centuries of umtion.
As for the purpose of this liquid, Wu Hao only knew the simplest one: it could extend the lifespan and increase the longevity of any living creature.
It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that just this one property alone would make it a miraculous substance, driving all of humanity into a frenzy. After all, this was something that could increase one''s lifespan.
Scientifically, it had been shown that human lifespan was far more than the rtively short 100 or so years that most people reached due to various factors like diseases. Throughout history, there were records of extraordinary individuals who lived for several hundred years, even though many of these ounts were considered folklore. However, now that Wu Hao had witnessed this remarkable liquid, he wholeheartedly believed in those historical records.
The world was full of wonders, not to mention the unsolved mysteries that persisted even today. It was clear that ancient humans possessed great wisdom and advanced civilizations, on par with or even surpassing modern humans.
"This expedition to the Dragon God''s Ridge has yielded tremendous rewards. Now, I should return to the base first, study and analyze this liquid, and also deal with those humans near the base''s cabins. Otherwise, if they continue to stay there, it will pose a significant risk to mying and going from the base," Wu Hao contemted with a sense of satisfaction and determination.
As for the exploration team from the government that had appeared near his base''s cabins, he was determined to find a way to make them leave. Otherwise, the risk of exposing his base would increase significantly.
Simultaneously, Wu Hao needed to conduct a detailed analysis of the mysterious liquid he had obtained in the Dragon God''s Ridge to ensure its optimal utilization. Announcement We made it to 100 chapters! Pretty fuckin awesome. I know I said I was gonna do 3 chapters a week but this week I gave you guys 6. Thats because..........I''m still unemployed and have fuck-all going on in my life.
Chapter 101: Genetic Research Laboratory
Chapter 101: Gic Research Laboratory
As for how Wu Hao would handle the exploration teams in the wooden houses, he had a rough n in mind. Of course, he wouldn''t resort to forceful measures. If he used any abnormal methods to forcefully drive these people away, it would tantly reveal that there were some unspeakable secrets in this ce.
So, Wu Hao was definitely not going to employ such an approach. His n was quite simple he would divert official attention to another location nearby.
As for the wooden houses near the base, he wouldn''t pay any attention to them whatsoever. Even if these people dismantled his wooden house, he wouldn''t intervene.
As long as Wu Hao created a significant disturbance in another location that piqued their interest, these people, having found no clues at the wooden houses, would naturally give up and consider this ce as temporary amodation.
However, although Wu Hao had various ways to divert the authorities'' attention in one direction while he conducted his activities in another, it was clear that the Qinling base alone couldn''t meet his future development needs.
In other words, in a short time, Wu Hao would have to start nning for the construction of a secondary base. Of course, he wouldn''t abandon the Qinling base either.
At most, he might consider closing off all entrances around the base in the future and extending underground. Eventually, he could open a new entrance a bit further away from the base''s peaks.
However, all of this was for the future. Everything had to progress gradually. Wu Hao wasn''t in a rush for anything at the moment. Apart from urgently finding a way to cure his father''s illness, he was dedicating his time to other pursuits based on his interests and hobbies.
One could say he did whatever came to mind. After all, he had telekinesis as his foundation and possessed technology far beyond the current world''s level. Some might argue that with such advantages, he should focus on developing technology, building apany, and eventually dominating the world!
Come on, the idea of world domination isn''t something achievable just because you have absolute power. Besides, it would be a waste of time and resources, something Wu Hao wasn''t interested in.
He preferred to quietly develop his advanced technology behind the scenes and engage in the things he enjoyed. Along the way, he could asionally release some technological advancements to elerate the progress of human technology. As for power struggles and violence, he wanted no part in them.
After tidying up his belongings at a certain mountain peak in Shennongjia, Wu Hao prepared to return to his base in the Qinling Mountains. However, this time, he didn''t bring everything with him. He only took a box containing various equipment. As for other daily necessities like tents, he packed them into another box and ced it in a cave on a cliff.
Since he was sure he would return to Shennongjia next time, he didn''t need to bring outdoor living supplies back to the base. Plus, with the presence of the exploration team near the base, carrying too many items would increase the risk of exposure.
That evening, under the cover of night, Wu Hao flew at low altitude and arrived in the Qinling Mountains, just a few kilometers from his base.
Upon reaching the area, Wu Hao didn''t choose to continue flying. Instead, he moved through the woods like an ancient martial arts master, effortlessly weaving through the trees. After less than 20 minutes of this agile movement, he reached the mountain where his base was located.
Once again, he didn''t choose to enter through the main gate but opted for a smaller passage to fly directly into the base. After all, he didn''t carry much with him this time.
However, with the presence of the personnel from the government in the vicinity of the base, he knew it would be challenging to purchase materials from the outside for a while.
"Wee back to the base, boss!" As soon as Wu Hao entered the base, the intelligent program ''Zero'' greeted him through the base''s inte.
This wasn''t a program that Wu Hao had set up himself; it was an independent action by the base''s intelligent program ''Zero.'' After all, ''Zero'' was a semi-intelligent program, and having some simple autonomous thoughts wasn''t unusual. If itcked even this level of capability, it wouldn''t deserve to be called a semi-intelligent program.
"Zero, immediately activate the gics researchboratory. I need to analyze some things," Wu Hao responded to ''Zero''s'' greeting with a directmand.
The gics researchboratory in the base had been under construction for some time and was almostplete, with only a few pieces of equipment and final integration remaining to be done.
Although theboratory wasn''t entirely finished, it already had the capability to research and analyze substances. After all, Wu Hao''s gics researchboratory consisted of multiple separatebs.
It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that once hisboratory was fully established, it would be the most powerful andprehensive gics research facility in the world. It not only had the ability to analyze and study the genes of various biological species but also had cloning capabilities.
"Of course, boss!" After receiving Wu Hao''s instructions, the base''s intelligent program ''Zero'' immediately activated the gics researchboratories that had already been constructed within the base.
"By the way, Zero, help me edit these materials, and follow the style of the documentaries I released earlier." After handing a box containing various equipment to the robot apanying him, Wu Hao gave another instruction to the base''s intelligent program ''Zero.''
With ''Zero''s'' capabilities, helping Wu Hao edit these filmed materials into documentaries was a straightforward task. Moreover, he had his previous documentaries as a reference, so handing over these raw materials to ''Zero'' was a piece of cake.
Since it was a task that could be delegated and didn''t require his personal involvement, Wu Hao preferred to entrust it to his ''subordinates.'' Even though he didn''t have any human subordinates at the moment, in Wu Hao''s view, ordinary human employees couldn''tpare to robots and intelligent programs in terms of loyalty and efficiency.
Although the robots and intelligent programs in his base were far from meeting all his needs, Wu Hao believed that with time, his base would inevitably be arge, fully automated facility that could operate perfectly without any human intervention.
From the moment Wu Hao decided to establish the base, he never considered recruiting personnel from the outside to work for him. Because, in his view, it was entirely unnecessary. If there were tasks that robots and intelligent programs couldn''t handle, Wu Hao, with his telekic abilities and mental perception, could easily take care of them.
Chapter 102: The Miraculous Spirit Elixir
Chapter 102: The Miraculous Spirit Elixir
For example, assembling secretive electronic devices if other scientists were to do it, they would need various tools, including robots. However, when ites to Wu Hao, he doesn''t need any of that. He doesn''t even need to get his hands dirty. He can simply use his telekinesis to manipte the individualponents, assembling them automatically with precision and without any damage.
After instructing the base''s AI program ''Zero'' to process the video materials he brought back, Wu Hao himself didn''t linger. He swiftly changed into protective clothing, carrying with him the mysterious liquid retrieved from the underground space in Shenlongjia, and entered apletely sealedboratory.
Before entering theb, Wu Hao and his belongings underwent several checks and sterilization processes. Only after these precautions did they enter the transparent gicsb.
Wu Hao then proceeded with a series of preparations and divided a drop of the liquid into several portions for different research and analysis purposes.
Several hourster, after a series of research and repeated experiments, Wu Hao''s face revealed an expression of immense joy.
"This mysterious liquid is indeed a rare and extraordinary natural substance. It not only extends the lifespan of organisms but also eliminates various ailments in those who consume it, without any side effects. Unfortunately, I can only determine its effects; I have no knowledge of the specificponents that make up this enigmatic liquid," Wu Hao said with a mix of excitement and disappointment.
However, he quickly realized that something with such remarkable properties wouldn''t be easily analyzed. After all, it came from nature itself.
Even though Wu Hao possessed extraordinary telekic powers and an exceptionally capable mind, the more powerful he became, the more he felt a sense of awe towards nature and the universe.
In the face of nature, human strength appeared minuscule. Even the most potent weapon in human possession, nuclear threats, posed no significant threat to the entire Earth. Even if all nuclear weapons were detonated, it would result, at most, in the extinction of most life on Earth''s surface. However, given a few thousand years, life on Earth would slowly recover.
In essence, despite humanity''s technological advancements, it remained insignificant when confronting the forces of nature. Consider various natural disasters that frequently ur worldwide; even with our advanced technology, we cannot prevent these disasters from happening.
"Since this mysterious liquid possesses such incredible properties, let''s call it ''Spiritual Elixir!''" Wu Hao was very satisfied and excited as he gave this enigmatic substance a new name.
Wu Hao''s mood was now one of great joy. With the appearance of this Spiritual Elixir, he no longer had to worry about his family suffering from various health issues and leaving him.
At the same time, he no longer needed to expend his efforts on researching gene-based drugs tobat cancer cells. With the presence of this Spiritual Elixir, all illnesses became insignificant.
As long as he provided his father with long-term consumption of the elixir, various health problems would naturally disappear.
The main ability of this Spiritual Elixir, which extended the lifespan of living organisms, was to enhance the body''s regenerative capacity. As long as there were no diseases to afflict the body, a longer life was not a problem.
"Now, let''s see the specific effects of this drop of Spiritual Elixir and whether there are any specific requirements for storing it. This way, I can tailor a n for my father and family to consume it." With these thoughts in mind, Wu Hao continued his experiments.
Although he had retrieved the Spiritual Elixir from the underground space in Shenglongjia using a container simr to a bamboo tube, it was still rather rudimentary. It was suitable for temporary storage of a small quantity, but Wu Hao was certain that when he returned to Shenglongjia''s underground space next time, he would take all the elixirs with him.
Although this approach might seem unconventional, it was entirely reasonable for these ape-like creatures. After all, their purpose for living in the underground space was to guard this Spiritual Elixir.
The chieftains and a few leaders among them would asionally take a drop of the elixir for themselves, following their ancestral traditions. However, the majority of the elixir was preserved over the centuries; otherwise, there wouldn''t be such a substantial amount of it saved up.
From Wu Hao''s perspective, aside from their vastly different appearancespared to humans, these creatures shared simrities with a few tribes living in the primal jungles of Earth. They maintained their ancestral traditions and habits passed down through ancient times.
Wu Hao understood this well and had no intention of changing it. These creatures, due to their long-term existence in the underground space and the limited environment it provided, mainly consumed wild fruits, fungi, and nts, making their diet quite simr to Earth''s monkeys.
The reason Wu Hao happened to encounter one of these creatures collecting wild fruits outside the valley was because the underground space had a limited variety of nts, with only about a dozen types. So, from time to time, the ape-like creatures would send a member with experience in venturing outside to collect wild fruits and other food.
What surprised Wu Hao, however, was that despite their modest diet, these creatures, due to the unique environment of the underground space, enjoyed significantly longer lifespans than creatures living outside.
The next day, after a night of research, Wu Hao had a clear n on how to effectively use and store the Spiritual Elixir in the long term.
Based on his research and analysis, one drop of this elixir could keep a healthy human being free from the invasion of diseases, allowing them to live well beyond a hundred years. If someone''s health condition was not ideal, they would only need to take a couple of extra drops. For those who wanted to extend their lifespan even further, taking one drop every ten years would suffice. Wu Hao estimated that this regimen could potentially help someone reach the limits of human longevity.
As for the exact limit of human lifespan, Wu Hao didn''t have that information at the moment. However, considering the age of the ape-like tribe leader, it was already quite impressive.
But the question of how long humans could live wasn''t a pressing matter for Wu Hao right now. In a few decades, he might have found a way to increase human lifespan by altering their gics. Therefore, the use of this elixir was limited to his immediate family and loved ones. After all, this elixir was a potent gift from the forces of nature, brimming with life energy.
Chapter 103: Collecting the Spiritual Elixir
Chapter 103: Collecting the Spiritual Elixir
For instance, these spiritual elixirs can be likened to the extremely rare millennium ginseng and millennium Tai Sui, which are things that have formed through the umtion of time and are exceptionally rare in the world.
The efficacy of millennium ginseng and ten-thousand-year ginseng has long been familiar to humans. These aged medicinal herbs are no longer considered ordinary herbs; they can be deemed as "spiritual medicines."
In ancient China, millennium ginseng was typically used for extending a person''s life. In other words, the life force contained in such highly-aged ginseng is extremely potent.
However, ording to Wu Hao''s research, the spiritual elixirs he brought back from the underground space in Shenlongjia, while also containing a strong life force like aged ginseng, are even more potent.
There are significant differences between them, though. It''s widely known that if one consumes too much aged ginseng at once, it can lead to excess, resulting in symptoms such as excessive body heat and bleeding. In severe cases, it could even be fatal.
In other words, while ginseng and simr herbs possess strong life forces, they can be somewhat aggressive and are not easily absorbed and utilized by humans.
In contrast, these spiritual elixirs, despite having an even stronger life force than ginseng, don''t have these side effects. They can be rapidly and effectively absorbed by organisms and can change their constitution from the moment of consumption until their effects arepletely absorbed.
Considering just this aspect, it''s difficult to estimate the value of these spiritual elixirs. To put it bluntly, if Wu Hao were to auction these elixirs and let top-tier billionaires know about their effects, some of them might agree to pay him half of their wealth or even more without hesitation.
After all, this is something that can extend one''s life. For those who are truly wealthy, money is just a pile of paper and numbers. With their abilities and resources, even if their assets shrink by half, they could earn it back in a few years.
However, Wu Hao is definitely not going to make these elixirs public. While there isn''t much money in his bank ount at the moment, he can easily acquire money in various ways. So, he''s not short of money. He intends to keep these elixirs for himself and his family since they form so slowly.
Moreover, Wu Hao knows almost nothing about theposition and effects of these elixirs, except that they contain a powerful and side-effect-free life force.
That evening, Wu Hao prepared a specially designed, self-sealing, and long-term storage suitcase for the elixirs and left the base quietly through a concealed passage.
This suitcase, designed to store the elixirs, was crafted by Wu Hao based on his research on the elixirs'' preservation methods from the previous night. It wasn''t particrlyrge, roughly the size of thergestptops avable, but it was significantly thicker. It exuded a high-tech and upscale appearance, giving the impression of a specialized security case used in movies to store gic medications and biochemical weapons.
Of course, Wu Hao''s briefcase also required a password for recognition to open. Additionally, it had an internal storage system simr to a cold storage unit.
However, this briefcase was just temporary. After Wu Hao retrieved the elixirs from the underground caves in the Qinling Mountains, he would bring a small amount back home for his parents and family to use. The rest would be stored in specialized containers within his newly constructed gic researchb.
Flying at low altitudes and speeds from the Qinling Base, Wu Hao arrived at the Shenlong Framework in just a few hours. Having been here once before, Wu Hao was very familiar with the route. It took him only a few minutes to reach the underground space.
Upon entering the underground space, the scattered apemen and their leader, the old, yellow-furred ape, instantly noticed Wu Hao''s arrival.
Approaching the old ape, Wu Hao said, "Chieftain Dam, I''vee to collect the sacred water this time!"
"Great Divine Envoy, please follow me," the old ape said in its whirringnguage. Thanks to the memories he had acquired from them, Wu Hao could understand what it meant.
Wu Hao knew that these apemen held this underground space and the elixirs in high regard. Every time they collected the elixirs, they gathered all the apemen and conducted unique worship ceremonies ording to their customs.
Understanding this, Wu Hao had no intention of changing anything. He didn''t want to disrupt anything in this underground cave, especially since the formation of these elixirs was likely closely rted to this space.
This underground cave was constantly illuminated like daylight, and many nts grew here. More strangely, it had a special maic field that shielded all maic signal interference. Even before entering the core area of the underground space, Wu Hao could sense that his mental perception was somewhat restricted. Upon entering the tunnel, this restriction became even more evident.
After spending over an hour participating in the apes'' rituals, conducted under the watchful gaze of the old ape and the other apes, Wu Hao finally collected the remaining elixirs into specially prepared transparent containers. He then ced these containers inside a briefcase equipped with refrigeration capabilities.
Throughout the ceremony, Wu Hao cooperated and didn''t disy any signs of dissatisfaction. Although the rituals wereplex and cumbersome, they were part of the apes'' customs. Wu Hao respected their traditions.
In his view, these apes had spent years living in this enclosed underground space with limited mobility. Despite the beautiful environment andfortable living conditions, they had adapted to a life in confinement. Thus, Wu Hao understood the necessity of these rituals.
"Chieftain Dam, I''ve collected the sacred water this time, and everything here still requires you and your people to continue guarding it. From now on, I wille back periodically. The next time I visit, I''ll bring delicious food for your people," Wu Hao said to the old ape while holding the briefcase.
Beforeing this time, Wu Hao had considered doing something for these apes. After all, generation after generation, they had been living in this underground space, safeguarding these precious elixirs. Moreover, the fact that they obeyed him so readily hinted at some historical order from an individual or organization, instructing them to stay here and protect the elixirs.
Chapter 104: Reinitiating the Aircraft Project
Chapter 104: Reinitiating the Aircraft Project
And as for Wu Hao! To put it inly, he got lucky because he demonstrated the ability to fly in front of these apes, which led these apes to consider him a "divine envoy" passed down from their ancestors.
Although Wu Hao wasn''t sure if, centuries ago, the people who came here to collect this elixir had any special abilities. But just based on the effects of this elixir, it was enough to suggest that those who knew about this underground space were definitely not ordinary individuals.
Because ordinary people had an extremely hard time entering this underground space. It''s worth noting that when entering this underground space, one had to go through several diverging paths.
Moreover, this ce was deep within the Shenlong Ridge. Even if one wanted to enter from the outside, it was not an easy task. Let alone finding the entrance to the passage leading to this underground space.
As for what Wu Hao wanted to do for these apes, it was a way to repay them! However, these apes lived in this underground space, and they didn''t really need many things.
If there was something theycked, it would probably be food. After all, there wasn''t much food in the underground space, and these apes would go out to gather food every few days.
Originally, Wu Hao was nning to bring some food from the outside for them. Butter, he reconsidered, thinking that bringing ordinary food into the space might inevitably leave an unnecessary impression on the environment of the underground space.
Because the food avable in China now, even if imed to be entirely natural and pollution-free, was deceptive. Even vegetables and fruits were grown with pesticides and fertilizers.
Moreover, these items had a short shelf life, and since these apes could gather wild fruits in the valley, Wu Hao didn''t consider bringing them fruits.
Of course, there were plenty of things that could serve as food for these apes aside from fruits. However, Wu Hao didn''t feelfortable bringing items from outside into the underground space.
The things from the outside, whether in terms of packaging or the food itself, were difficult to meet the requirement of not contaminating the environment. Therefore, Wu Hao temporarily abandoned the idea of bringing food. However, in the future, when his base developed, he could certainly develop a high-nutritionpressed biscuit as food. In terms of packaging, it had to be biodegradable to ensure it wouldn''t harm the environment of the underground space.
This high-nutritionpressed food had a small volume, and if used as asional rations for these apes, it would be the best option, reducing their need to go outside to find wild fruits and mushrooms. Overall, this could be considered Wu Hao''s only small way of helping these apes after collecting the elixir!
As for teaching these apes to use various high-tech tools, Wu Hao had considered it initially, but he quickly dismissed the idea. It wasn''t because these apescked intelligence; it was because of the limitations of the underground environment.
Furthermore, these apes had significant differences from humans, and they possessed considerable intelligence. Teaching them to use modern tools made it challenging to ensure that these apes wouldn''t develop a desire to leave the underground cave someday. At that point, if discovered by humans, it would be a real-life version of of the Apes," wouldn''t it?
After a brief exnation to the elder ape, Wu Hao leaped up and left the underground space with the briefcase under the watchful eyes of the other apes. This time, when he left the underground space, it would be at least several months before he returned. His base''s size was still limited, and with the government''s surveince team stationed outside his base, he couldn''t easily bring in supplies and materials from the outside world in the short term.
Once again leaving Shenlongjia, Wu Hao flew at low altitude and low speed. By the time he arrived at the Qinling base, it was nearly 6 a.m. However, in this season, the day startedter, and he didn''t need to worry about being detected while flying in the sky, especially in the remote mountainous region.
"Now that I have the elixir, I can put aside the gic researchb and the research on tackling cancer cells for now. This means I can initiate my aircraft project," Wu Hao thought to himself as he returned to the base and secured the elixir. He pondered the next major development direction for the base.
Before this, almost all of the base''s resources had been allocated to building the gic researchboratory and various research equipment. This allowed theb to have such a rapid construction progress. After all, the gic researchb was not something that could be established easily, requiring more than just a couple of rooms and a few pieces of equipment.
Inside the base, there were dozens of rooms of various sizes. There were multiple security checkpoints to ess theboratory, as well as gene banks for cultivation and storage, and a wide array of research instruments and equipment.
Currently, Wu Hao''s base in the Qinling Mountains had expanded by more than twice its original size since its initial construction. The new spaces weren''t entirely created with Wu Hao''s telekic abilities alone. He had designed and built special machines capable of excavating rock walls, which, in conjunction with his telekinesis, enabled the expansion of the internal space.
The manufacturing capabilities of the base had be highly advanced. Apart from limitations rted to raw materials and space, it was entirely feasible for Wu Hao to manufacture apletebat aircraft within the base.
Of course, there were still several critical raw materials needed to construct a fighter jet using the base''s resources.
However, for the type of aircraft Wu Hao nned to create, there was no need for a propulsion system. In reality, whether it was an airne or a car, the most criticalponent happened to be their propulsion system, i.e., the engine.
Certainly, it wasn''t that Wu Hao couldn''t create an engine; it was that he didn''t see the necessity at the moment. To be honest, he somewhat looked down upon the engines used in the current world, whether in automobiles or aircraft.
Additionally, with telekinesis as his foundation, the aircraft he manufactured, minus the engineponent, not only reduced a significant amount of weight but also provided more space for other functionalities.
Moreover, if Wu Hao used telekinesis as the propulsion, it wouldn''t be inferior to the best aircraft engines in the world today.
Chapter 105: Modifying the Design Plan
Chapter 105: Modifying the Design n
Quickly, after contemting for a moment, Wu Hao instructed the base''s AI program, "Zero," in his mind, "Zero, retrieve the aircraft ns from the database for me and then report the quantity of all existing raw materials in the base."
Although Wu Hao had nned to return home after retrieving the spirit fluid to administer it to his parents, it was almost dawn, so he had to wait until it got dark in the evening at least, even if he intended to return home.
Upon receiving Wu Hao''smand, the base''s AI program "Zero" acted promptly, immediately retrieving the preliminary aircraft design ns that Wu Hao had previously only conceived from the base''sputer system database.
"Boss, the aircraft ns have been opened, and I''ve alreadypiled the information regarding the use of all raw materials in the base," reported the AI program "Zero" to Wu Hao. At the same time, it projected tworge screens in the room.
One screen disyed the aircraft ns and rted design schematics, while the other screen showed aprehensive list of materials with their respective quantities, clearly marked in percentages.
After a brief nce, Wu Hao had a clear understanding of the specific quantities. "We still have a good amount of raw materials for manufacturingposite materials, but we''re running low on metals and some specialized materials. It seems I need toplete the aircraft as soon as possible; otherwise, it might be difficult to purchase raw materials from the outside."
Composite materials are essentially non-metal materials used for making stics and carbon fibers, among others. These materials have a lower weight and higher efficiencypared to metal materials.
Due to the weight of metal materials, Wu Hao couldn''t transport too many of them to the base at once. However, the situation was different forposite materials. Although there were various raw materials for makingposite materials, they could be used for a long time, given the base''s current reserves.
With this in mind, Wu Hao immediately turned his focus to the aircraft design n. He had conceived the design of this aircraft a long time ago.
Originally, Wu Hao''s aircraft had an elongated shape, with slight protrusions on both sides forming streamlined secondary wings. These secondary wings had a maximum width of only a few tens of centimeters, simr to the tail wings of high-speed cruise missiles.
In fact, aircraft capable of supersonic flight usually have rtively short wings to minimize resistance and enable faster flight.
Wu Hao''s design of these streamlined wings aimed to ensure that, when using telekinesis as the propulsion method, the aircraft could fly at higher speeds, maintain stability, and achieve better maneuverability.
The main body of the aircraft was constructed from a new type of carbon fiber material that Wu Hao had developed himself. It was 3D-printed as a single piece. Besides the main structure, the aircraft contained a few electronic systems and interiors, as well as the crucial stealth coating.
Wu Hao was capable of easily configuring excellent stealth coatings to prevent radar detection. However, he aimed to make the aircraft not only evade radar but also possess a function that rendered it invisible to the human eye.
This specific technology was something Wu Hao hadn''t entirely mastered yet. During this period, he had not focused his research efforts on this aspect, so he considered it a key challenge in the time toe.
Other than this yet-to-be-mastered technology, Wu Hao hadplete knowledge and control over all other aspects of the aircraft.
"ording to the initial design, this aircraft is a bit on the smaller side. If it''s intended to transport slightlyrger cargo, it might prove inadequate," Wu Hao contemted while carefully examining the previous design.
Consequently, Wu Hao decided to increase the aircraft''s size in line with the original specifications, with only slight changes to the external appearance. However, he moved the entrance and exit door to the rear, somewhat resembling the setup onrge transport helicopters, with a door opening directly from the rear bottom.
The modified aircraft now measured 8 meters in length, 5 meters in width, and a height close to 2 meters. Despite the increased volume, the aircraft''s weight wouldn''t rise significantly. Since the entire aircraft was constructed using carbon fiber materials, and only a small amount of electronic equipment and other interior items were to be installed, the weight remained rtively low.
As the aircraft didn''t have an engine and the electronic equipment only required power support, some sr panels were sufficient. With thetest high-efficiency battery panels developed by Wu Hao, installing a few of them could easily sustain the aircraft for around ten hours of flight.
Since the aircraft primarily used electricity only for electronic equipment, the power consumption was naturally iparable to that of an engine.
Around noon, right after Wu Hao had finished lunch at the base and was about to dive back into various aspects of aircraft design, he received a call from his parents.
Even though he''d set hismunicator to "Do Not Disturb" mode since returning to the base, he''d made a special arrangement for a few important numbers, which included his parents and his sister.
"Hello, Mom. Is there something wrong?" As soon as Wu Hao answered the call, he immediately inquired because his parents rarely initiated calls to him. This was mainly due to their concern for not interrupting his work. He also called home every few days to check on family matters.
So when he saw that his mother was calling him, Wu Hao guessed that something must have happened at home. He didn''t think it was rted to an unexpected deterioration of his father''s health because, if that were the case, their simple robot, Da Bai, would have sent him a message already.
After all, Wu Hao had initially created "Da Bai" to monitor his family''s health and safety. In case of any abnormalities, the program embedded in Da Bai would immediately ry the situation to Wu Hao.
"Son, I hope I''m not disturbing your work," came Zhang Hun''s voice from the other end of the line. When Wu Hao had left home, he''d told his parents that he would be traveling around frequently and visiting different cities. Zhang Hun also had a partial understanding from other sources, knowing that stock trading was a demanding job. Hence, she began by asking about his situation.
"It''s okay, Mom. I''m not busy right now. Is everything okay at home?" Wu Hao indeed had a lot of work to do with the various aspects of aircraft design, but he didn''t want to admit that he was busy.
After resolving his father''s health issues, he was no longer in a hurry to develop everything in the base. Regarding the aircraft, sooner orter, it wouldn''t make a big difference to him.
... (To be continued.)
Chapter 106: Unauthorized Construction
Chapter 106: Unauthorized Construction
Upon hearing Wu Hao''s response, his mother, Zhang Hun, began to exin the reason for her call. She mentioned that several local leaders had recently visited their home. They imed that their house was considered an illegal upation ofnd and an unauthorized construction. They requested that the house be demolished as soon as possible. Zhang Hun and Wu Hao''s father didn''t fully understand the specifics behind these allegations and regtions. They felt somewhat anxious about the situation, being rural folks with limited knowledge ofnd use regtions.
Therefore, as soon as the local leaders left, Wu Hao''s parents promptly contacted him to inform him of the situation. Wu Hao realized that it was rted to their house construction, which had been overseen by the vige head, Wu Sancai, and Wu Hao had relied on his assurances when building the house. Wu Sancai had assured Wu Hao that he could proceed with construction, provided he reported the project to the higher authorities. At the time, Wu Hao hadn''t thought much about it since their vige was quite remote, and house construction was amon practice among the local vigers.
"Your Uncle Sancai knew about it. The people who came from the town were led by him. But he didn''t anticipate that they woulde, and he was the one who alerted you over the phone," Zhang Hun exined carefully.
"Alright, Mom, I have a general idea of what''s going on. I''ll handle this when Ie back tonight. Don''t worry too much," Wu Hao reassured her.
In reality, there were two possible reasons for the visit of the town officials to their home. Either they hade to conduct official business following thew, or they wanted to remind Wu Hao''s family that there were still many unresolved issues rted to their use of thend for building their vi.
However, if the situation were viewed in terms of the country''snd regtions, Wu Hao''s family''s construction on the mountains and a small portion of farnd was indeed illegal. In more developed suburban areas or towns, authorities might have intervened early on in the construction process.
But at that time, Wu Hao had instructed the vige head, Sancai, to negotiate with the town authorities. He had also paid a considerable fee fornd use to some vigers. The fact that their vige was remote and other circumstances had led to no one causing trouble for Wu Hao''s family at that time.
The reason someone was raising the issue now was likely due to changes in the town''s leadership or rumors reaching the town, and they wanted to exploit the situation for their own gain.
This situation is amon phenomenon in real life, especially considering that Wu Hao''s family''s vi indeed upiesnd illegally.
After hanging up the phone with his mother, and with plenty of time left in the day, Wu Hao continued working on the design and manufacturing of the aircraft. It wasn''t until the evening, as darkness settled in, that he briefly handled some base matters. He then packed a small box and quietly left the base under the cover of night.
This time, Wu Hao didn''t carry many items back home; just a few vials of spirit liquid and some of his frequently used equipment.
After flying all the way, Wu Hao returned to the ce where he had parked his car. After stowing his specially designed suitcase in the vehicle, he drove back to his hometown.
The journey proceeded without incident, and Wu Hao''s car arrived at the vige. As he passed by the vige yard, he faintly overheard conversations among some vigers.
"Today, officials from the town came, saying that Wu''s vi is an illegal structure and needs to be demolished. If they really tear down Wu''s vi, it would be such a waste!"
"That''s right. I heard that Wu''s vi cost several million to build. If it''s forcibly demolished, it would be such a shame."
A few vigers conversed while noticing Wu Hao''s car. People in the vige were already familiar with Wu Hao''s vehicle, so when they saw it, they knew he had returned to the vige.
Driving the car, Wu Hao didn''t react to the vigers'' conversations as he had already thought of a way to address the matter.
Soon after returning home, Wu Hao coincidentally met the vige head, Wu San Cai, who was in conversation with Wu Hao''s parents. When they saw Wu Hao returning, they stopped their conversation.
"Uncle San Cai, you''re here too! Good timing, I was also nning to talk to you about something," Wu Hao greeted.
"Ah, Wu Hao, this matter is partially due to Uncle San Cai not handling it well back then. Originally, I reported this to Secretary Li in the town, and he gave his approval. However, in thest month, Secretary Li was transferred. Since there wasn''t any official documentation regarding your family''s house construction, the new leadership used this issue to make a point. I think you should understand their motivations" Wu San Cai expressed his apologies.
"Uncle San Cai, it''s not your fault. It''s because I didn''t n this properly back then. But I have a solution now. Tomorrow, could you please talk to this new official and tell him that the ''Eastern Gxy Investment Company'' ns to invest in developing and building a tourist resort covering over 10,000 mu in our Sanxi Vige?" Wu Hao smiled and said something that left his parents and Wu San Cai puzzled.
"Son, why do you suddenly want to build a resort again? Hasn''t our house construction issue not been resolved yet?" his mother asked.
"Mom, this resort includes our house. The town said our house encroached on thend, making it illegal. But if webel it as a resort, this illegal upation issue bes legal. This way, it will be considered a joint investment and construction by the town and the vige. Therefore, even if our house isrge, it will be legal, and there won''t be any talk of it being illegal," Wu Hao exined to his parents.
Upon hearing Wu Hao''s exnation, Zhang Hun and Wu Guodong were somewhat unclear but understood the general idea. However, Wu San Cai, who was familiar with the vige''snd use, was puzzled.
"Wu Hao, is this your solution? About building a resort that covers 10,000 mu?" Wu San Cai understood that Wu Hao wanted to give their vi a legal status by calling it a resort, but he was uncertain if Wu Hao genuinely intended to undertake such a massive project in the vige.
Chapter 107: Investing in the Tourist Resort
Chapter 107: Investing in the Tourist Resort
You should know that 10,000 acres is not a small area. Let alone building a tourist resort that upies over 10,000 acres, the specific costs of leasing this 10,000 acres are already a substantial amount.
Moreover, if we genuinely intend to construct such arge tourist resort in the vige, it will inevitably affect all the vigers. After all, when you add up all the farnd in our vige, it''s almost equivalent to this figure, without taking into ount the surrounding mountains and wastnd.
However, if the tourist resort that Wu Hao mentioned is genuinely established, even if some of the vigers still have somend left unused, they can fully develop other supplementary businesses in the future. This will boost the ie of all the households in the vige. Consequently, all the residents in the vige will naturally be more prosperous.
As the vige head, Wu Sancai, upon hearing Wu Hao''s words, naturally thought of these scenarios. That''s why he inquired with some uncertainty.
Observing this, Wu Hao simply smiled and said, "Uncle Sancai, I understand what you''re thinking. Don''t worry, I am serious about building the tourist resort. Although my initial goal was to use the name of the resort to make our house legal, my secondary objective is to help the vige be more prosperous."
Although building a tourist resort is no easy task, and the expenses involved are at least in the billions, Wu Hao doesn''t mind. Even if the future resort doesn''t do much business, it''s fine by him.
In reality, Wu Hao''s goal in constructing this resort is to acquirend for his own use. In many foreign countries, buyingnd is much simpler; if you find a piece ofnd for sale, you can purchase it, and thatnd bes yours permanently.
But in China, it''s different; private individuals are not allowed to buynd. Land can only be leased, and the maximum lease term is 80 years. However, considering that policies can change, there isn''t a significant difference between leasing for 80 years and having permanent ownership. In essence, permanent ownership just sounds moreforting, giving you the feeling that thend will always be yours.
However, you also need to think, can you live forever? Will current policies remain unchanged for decades?
When Wu Sancai heard Wu Hao confirm this again, he felt excited and thrilled. "Wu Hao, you''ve done something incredible for our vige! Previously, you not only contributed money to repair the vige''s roads, but now you''re investing in the vige''s development to help everyone be prosperous."
It''s no surprise that Wu Sancai is so thrilled. After all, he is the vige head, and with such a substantial investment in the vige, it''s like a feather in his cap. Moreover, as the vige prospers in the future, his position as the vige head will be significantly elevated, even rivaling some leaders in the town.
You need to understand that their town is currently just an ordinary ind small town,cking any decent investment projects or industrial facilities. If Wu Hao''s investment in this resort bes a reality, not to mention the other benefits, it''s enough to propel the current town leaders several levels higher.
So, in the following hours, Wu Hao conversed with Wu Sancai for a while, and when Wu Sancai left his home brimming with excitement, Wu Hao turned to his parents, saying, "Mom, this time I''ve not onlye back to handle family matters but also arranged for someone to buy a highly effective gene drug from abroad. If Dad takes this drug, he''ll recover from his illness."
Naturally, Wu Hao kept the origin of the elixir a secret. Despite dealing with his own family, there were certain things better kept to himself. Revealing these secrets to his parents and loved ones would only create unnecessary emotional burdens.
In addition to the elixir, Wu Hao also refrained from informing his parents and family about his telekic abilities and the secret base he built. It wasn''t about distrust; it was a matter of being cautious in conversations held in the presence of many, as secrets could inadvertently slip out and be public knowledge.
So, for now, it was better to keep certain matters to himself. Moreover, for his parents, whether it was his telekinesis or the advanced technology development base, it all seemed too unbelievable, too much like science fiction. Given their current understanding, it would be hard for them to ept.
Even if Wu Hao were to confess, it''s not the right time yet. When the moment is right, everything will fall into ce naturally. It''s simr to when he told his parents about winning the lottery. Back then, their astonishment upon learning about his several-million-won jackpot was immense. But now, even if Wu Hao were to disclose his worth in billions, it wouldn''t elicit the same astonishment as before.
For instance, when Wu Hao mentioned his n to build a resort earlier, his parents reacted with surprise but not shock.
However, now, when Zhang Hun heard Wu Hao talk about purchasing a drug that could heal his father, she became incredibly excited. "Son, you''re not joking, are you? Is there really a special drug that can cure your father?" It''s no wonder Zhang Hun was so excited. After all, she knew the details of Wu Hao''s father''s condition. He hadte-stage cancer, a disease considered a death sentence by the hospital. Now, Wu Hao imed there was a special drug that could cure it.
Even the most renowned experts and schrs, both domestic and international, would react simrly if they heard this.
"Mom, I''m telling the truth. This special drug was purchased from a research institute abroad that specializes in this area. It''s still in the research phase because the production costs are extremely high, making mass production impossible. I had to go through great efforts just to acquire one course for Dad to use," Wu Hao continued with his fabricated story.
"Okay, okay. As long as it can cure your father''s illness, that''s all that matters," Zhang Hun responded. She didn''t quite understand theplex details Wu Hao was talking about. She only grasped one thing - that what Wu Hao said was true, and there indeed was a special drug like this.
As for the issues rted to production costs, she disregarded thempletely. However, Zhang Hun suddenly thought of something and asked, "Son, this drug doesn''t have any side effects, does it?"
Chapter 108: Satellite Map
Chapter 108: Satellite Map
On the side, Wu Guodong, who had been listening in a daze, finally reacted. He wasn''t concerned about any potential side effects of the medicine, as he knew the nature of his illness.
Although, based on the information he knew, he was aware that he was only in the early stages of cancer. However, even in the early stages, recovery was not that easy.
Now, hearing Wu Hao talk about an effective medicine found abroad, he was genuinely pleased. As for the side effects, he wasn''t too worried. After all, it was his son who found it, so what did he have to be concerned about?
However, Wu Hao proceeded to exin to his mother. After Wu Hao''s exnation, Zhang Hn finally felt relieved. However, there was still a hint of uneasiness in her heart. After all, whether the medicine Wu Hao described was as powerful as he imed couldn''t be confirmed yet. They would have to wait for the results of the hospital tests after taking it.
Of course, Wu Hao had no doubt about the efficacy of the "spiritual liquid," especially since he had conducted numerous experiments.
So, without further dy, Wu Hao quickly took out a small test tube from his suitcase. At the end of the test tube was a needle, containing two drops of the spiritual liquid.
For the spiritual liquid used to treat his father and the one for the family''s consumption, Wu Hao kept them separate to emphasize that they were different formtions.
For example, Wu Hao, preparing the spiritual liquid to eliminate symptoms for his father, did not opt for oral consumption but chose direct injection.
In reality, whether ingested directly or through injection, there is no difference in the efficacy of this spiritual liquid.
"Dad, I''ll give you an injection now, and you''ll feel better soon!" Wu Hao took out a slender syringe, preparing while addressing his father.
"Son, is this small vial what you call the miraculous medicine?" Zhang Hn, on the side, couldn''t help but ask when she saw Wu Hao taking out such a small transparent test tube.
"Mom, don''t be fooled by its small size. This one vial is all it takes. It can cure Dad''s symptoms. This is a high-tech product from abroad!" Seeing his mother''s skeptical expression, Wu Hao had no choice but to boast about the foreign high-tech.
Although Zhang Hn didn''t understand much about high-tech, after Wu Hao''s exnation and considering her impression that foreign technology is advanced, she didn''t say much.
On the other hand, Wu Hao''s father seemed quite indifferent. In the short conversation, Wu Haopleted the injection for his father.
"All done, Dad! For the next few days, rest well at home. If you experience diarrhea or any other reactions during this time, it''s just a normal detoxification process. After a month, go to the hospital for a check-up." In reality, the efficacy of the spiritual liquid doesn''t require such a long time. It only takes one or two days, as long as the liquid is fully absorbed by the recipient. The medicinal effect is thenplete.
The reason Wu Hao mentioned such a long duration of one month was to avoid making his parents think the spiritual liquid was too extraordinary.
"Oh, by the way, Dad, Mom! Don''t tell anyone about me injecting medicine for Dad. This kind of medication is prohibited in China, and if others find out, I might get into trouble!" To ensure confidentiality, Wu Hao had to be more serious in his tone.
"Is it that serious? We understand, son. You can rest assured; your dad and I won''t reveal it to anyone," Zhang Hn said solemnly upon hearing that Wu Hao could be in danger if the information leaked.
"Mom, there''s no need to be so serious. Just don''t talk about it outside. If someone asks in the future, say that Dad recovered on his own due to good health," Wu Hao smiled. Although he wanted to keep the matter from outsiders, he also didn''t want his parents to be overly anxious.
On the other side, as Wu Sancai left Wu Hao''s home with an extremely excited mood, before he even reached home, people from the same vige noticed his expression.
"Uncle San, did something good happen? You look so happy," said a man in his thirties from the vige, who could be considered Wu Sancai''s junior.
"Hehe, it''s Dazhu! Your Uncle San has indeed encountered a big happy event. However, it''s not just about your Uncle San''s family; it''s a big happy event for our entire vige," Wu Sancai happily said.
"A big happy event for our vige? Uncle San, what exactly is going on?" asked the man known as Dazhu, with a curious expression.
"Hehe, the specific good news will be announced to everyone by the vigemittee in a couple of days. Alright, Dazhu, your Uncle San has important matters to prepare at home, so I won''t say much more." Wu Sancai waved his hand, not revealing the details but creating suspense.
"Don''t go! Uncle San, can''t you tell me now?" Faced with Wu Sancai''s response, Dazhu naturally became even more curious.
However, Wu Sancai had already left at this point, and he didn''t want to continue questioning: "A big happy event for the entire vige? What could it be? Just now, the vige head came out of the Wu family vi. This so-called big event should be rted to the Wu family!"
After bidding farewell to Dazhu, Wu Sancai, who returned home in a hurry, didn''t immediately rest. Instead, he prepared documents to go to the town the next day.
Of course, he didn''t have much information to organize. He just prepared the usual records of vige affairs and the situations of each household.
After Wu Hao finished injecting the spiritual liquid for his father, he also returned to his room, contemting the matter of building a tourist resort in the vige.
"The idea of building a resort covering thousands of acres was just a rough thought. The specific n and design need careful consideration." Thinking about this, Wu Hao immediately opened themunicator and connected with the intelligent program ''Zero'' located at the base.
"Boss, what are your orders?" The intelligent program ''Zero'' spoke in a highly sophisticated tone.
"Zero, retrieve the satellite map and geographic data for Sanxi Vige."
"Alright, boss. Please wait a moment." Upon receiving Wu Hao''s instructions, the intelligent program ''Zero'' quickly essed thetest high-resolution satellite map from Google. It located Sanxi Vige, marked the boundaries, and presented the information to Wu Hao. Additionally, it transmitted data on thend situation, residents, and local geographical and climatic conditions of the entire Shanyi Vige.
The Google map retrieved by the intelligent program is not the ordinary version found on the inte but a true high-definition version, with higher rity andpleteness. It practically epasses the topography of almost all ces worldwide.
Chapter 109: Eastern Galaxy Investment Company
Chapter 109: Eastern Gxy Investment Company
After receiving the reduced overview of Sanxi Vige and rted information from themunicator through the intelligent program ''Zero,'' Wu Hao immediately synchronized this data into his newly manufacturedptop.
Thisptop wasn''t the one he purchased outside earlier; it was a new model manufactured recently within the base. Its functionality and processing speed were self-evident, far surpassing allptops in the world today, including many military-gradeputers.
When Wu Hao designed thisptop, he also drew inspiration from a visually appealingputer product called ''Alienware'' on the market. The shell was made of high-quality carbon fiber material, not too thick, simr to a regr gamingptop.
Although it didn''t look as bulky as military-gradeputers, its protective performance was notcking. It possessed waterproof, shock-resistant, and pressure-resistant features, simr to outdoor military-grade capabilities.
After synchronizing the map and relevant information of Sanxi Vige into theputer, Wu Hao immediately operated it, swiftly calling up the built-in 3D modeling software. In just a few seconds, a brand new 3D model of Shanyi Vige appeared on theputer.
Subsequently, Wu Hao began meticulously nning the appearance of the resort he envisioned. After about two hours, Wu Hao finally stopped his actions, looking at the resort on theputer screen with a satisfied smile.
"Not bad. Although this construction n may consume more in terms of budget and construction time, the resulting effect will be perfect." The resort designed and nned by Wu Hao is no longer just a resort covering at least a thousand acres, as casually mentioned before. Instead, it now incorporates the entire Sanxi Vige.
In other words, all thend and households of the entire Shanyi Vige are included in the n. Since the main vige is included in the n, the original houses in the vige will naturally be demolished. After the demolition, Wu Hao will fund the construction of unified new residences for all vigers, essentially providing each family with a small vi.
Wu Hao''s approach is entirely in line with the rhythm of creating a luxurious vige in his hometown. Regarding thend that Wu Hao will upy in these viges, he has two options: either the government buys thend from the vigers in one go, or he distributes corresponding shares of the resort to them.
As for housing, Wu Hao will pay for the construction, a condition he believes no one in the vige would refuse. After all, offering to demolish their old houses and build new, independent vis for each family is an offer that is hard to turn down.
However, whether they want shares for the upiednd or prefer to be directly paid, it''s up to them to choose. Wu Hao will leave this matter to the vige head to handle. Regardless of the situation, Wu Hao will ensure that the vigers are treated fairly.
After all, ultimately, the main purpose of the resort Wu Hao is building is to serve himself. Whether it will be open to the public in the future depends on the circumstances. Either way, whether peoplee or not is of no concern to him; he never relied on the resort to make money.
"It seems like I need to earn some money. ording to my n for this resort, I''ll need to spend several billion just in the early stages, and perhaps tens of billionster toplete it." Wu Hao is not worried about how to make money, and his ounts still have several billion, which is enough for the initialnd purchase andpensating the vigers.
The next morning, Wu Hao and Wu Sancai drove to the town, preparing to meet with several local leaders.
"Secretary Zhang, Mayor Zhou, this is Mr. Wu, the person in charge of the Eastern Gxy International Investment Company in Greater China. This time, I''m apanying Mr. Wu to the town because the Eastern Gxy International Investment Company, under his leadership, intends to invest in building arge-scale tourism and cultural resort in our Sanxi Vige," Wu Sancai exined, following the instructions Wu Hao gave him on the way. He had memorized the details to avoid any misunderstandings and even rehearsed for quite a while.
Initially, Wu Sancai didn''t understand why Wu Hao made it soplicated. However, after Wu Hao mentioned that it was an international project, Wu Sancai stopped questioning and meticulously followed Wu Hao''s instructions.
On the other side of the office desk, both Secretary Zhang and Mayor Zhou were surprised to hear Wu Sancai''s words. They knew Wu Sancai and Wu Hao, especially since both had been present when they took people to Wu Hao''s house previously. Originally, they nned to use this connection to get some fines or other benefits from Wu Hao, just trying to improve their rtionship.
Today, when they heard about Wu Sancai bringing Wu Hao to town, they thought they understood the purpose, but they didn''t expect Wu Sancai to say such unexpected words.
As for the name "Eastern Gxy International Investment Company," which sounded impressive, they didn''t pay much attention. They werepletely captivated by the idea of a resort.
"A tourism and cultural resort?" Mayor Zhou said with a hint of confirmation in his tone.
"Yes, Mayor Zhou. Mr. Wu, from the Eastern Gxy International Investment Company, indeed intends to invest in building a resort in our vige," Wu Sancai confirmed once again.
Seeing this, Wu Hao, who was sitting on the side, also smiled and exined: "That''s right, two leaders. I believe my hometown, Sanxi Vige, is a beautiful ce with outstanding people and abundant resources. So, I rmended it to mypany, the Eastern Gxy International Investment Company. Fortunately, mypany agreed with my idea and decided to invest 3 billion RMB to develop Sanxi Vige into an international tourism resort. The purpose of my visit this time is to discuss with the leaders of the town aboutnd acquisition and specific nning."
The ''Eastern Gxy International Investment Company'' mentioned by Wu Hao is, of course, the overseas investmentpany he acquired earlier. Although thispany seems to be just a name without a specific office location or employees, only Wu Hao knows these details.
Moreover, Wu Hao''spany, despite having no employees at the moment, has funds that can be allocated at any time.
The reason Wu Hao used the name of this overseas investmentpany is not only to conceal the source of his funds but also to leverage the reputation of a foreign enterprise in the investment.
Chapter 111: Leaders Have All Arrived
Chapter 111: Leaders Have All Arrived
Some vigers below heard about the free small vis and started discussing it again. At the same time, someone raised a question, "Vige Chief, you said you''re going to build a free small vi for each household. Does that mean you''re going to take over our existing houses?"
Upon hearing the question, Wu Sancai immediately responded, "Of course, I just mentioned that Wu Hao''spany is going to invest in building a tourism resort that covers the entire vige. Our old houses and all thend are naturally included!"
Upon hearing this exnation, some of the more knowledgeable vigers also understood, "I see. Building these small vis is meant to rece our old houses. I just wonder what these small vis will look like."
In fact, the vigers'' concerns were quite normal, as there are often reports in the news about developers taking overnd and either providing lowpensation or delivering houses with various issues.
However, Wu Hao is not like those unscrupulous developers. His investment in developing his hometown is driven by the desire to help the vigers prosper. Although he cannot make everyone a wealthy household, achieving a moderately prosperous lifestyle for most families is definitely possible.
In Wu Hao''s current vige, except for a few households with savings exceeding 100,000, the rest mostly live in ordinary cottages. Some even inhabit houses built several decades ago.
Without discussing other households, just looking at the previous situation in Wu Hao''s family can give an idea of the vige''s overall economic condition.
After the Q&A session between Wu Sancai and the vigers concluded, the vigers returned to their homes with a mixture of half-belief and some happiness.
Although Wu Sancai informed them about the development of the entire vige, they could not fully believe his words until they received tangible benefits. Today, Wu Hao did not personally appear when the announcement was made; it was only a brief exnation by Wu Sancai. Perhaps when Wu Hao and relevant leaders from the town and city personally visit the vige, the vigers willpletely believe.
On the other hand, Zhang Youwei, the top leader of the town, and Mayor Zhou Hongtao reported the investment matter to relevant leaders in the city when Wu Hao left the town government.
Given that this is arge investment exceeding 3 billion yuan, the two small-town leaders naturally cannot make decisions independently. Even the city leaders promptly reported this investment project to the provincial government.
Although it''s currently just the preliminary intention to invest and no formal investment n has been established, the city leaders gained more confidence in this substantial investment project after learning that the investor was thepany that previously invested in building a factory on the outskirts of the city.
Therefore, on the same afternoon of receiving the news, several important city leaders organized a meeting. After the meeting, they instructed Zhang Youwei and Zhou Hongtao to convey that the city''s relevant leaders would personally go to Sanxi Vige to discuss the specific investment n with the investor.
As the representative of the investment party, Wu Hao also promptly received personal notifications from the two leaders in the town. After hanging up the phone, he chuckled, "I didn''t expect these leaders to be quite efficient!"
Actually, it''s not surprising that these leaders in the city are so proactive. Firstly, they know that the investor nning to invest 3 billion yuan to build the resort is the foreign-funded enterprise that previously invested in a project in the city. Secondly, the amount of this investment is as high as 3 billion yuan, which is a huge investment for Sanyuan City.
It''s not an exaggeration to say that once this investment n is finalized, it canpletely match or even exceed the total investment amount in previous years. Moreover, once this investment is sessful, it will have a significant impact on the city''s future foreign investment attraction.
For instance, in the future, if the city has any investment attraction ns, it can use this project as a reference. For the investor, having otherrge-scale investment projects in the area also adds confidence to their investment.
In other words, once this investment n is sessful, it will undoubtedly have a considerable impact on many rted industries and investment attraction aspects of the city.
The next morning, Wu Hao, having received the notification the day before, directly drove to the town with the vige head Wu Sancai. Shortly after Wu Hao and his group arrived in the town, the city''s fleet also reached the small office building of the town government. The leaders from the city were not minor figures; they included the top leaders, the second inmand, and several other leaders from the Investment Promotion Bureau. After all, such arge project was enough to make them temporarily set aside their regr duties.
Moreover, a big project is equivalent to a significant political achievement. Faced with such a politically advantageous situation, the top leaders of the city naturally wouldn''t stand idly by. Therefore, the simultaneous appearance of the top two leaders from the city was not surprising.
Because the meeting room in the town government was notrge, besides Wu Hao, the representative of the investor, Wu Sancai, and several key leaders from the city, other people, including Zhang Youwei and Zhou Hongtao from the town, could only stand aside and listen.
After a brief introduction, Wu Hao didn''t indulge in bureaucratguage with these leaders but directly got into the topic, discussing the specific investment n.
The entire discussion meetingsted for a full hour before concluding sessfully. The efficiency of the meeting wasrgely due to Wu Hao''s direct focus on the main topics without unnecessary verbosity.
The leaders from the city were already in a mindset of giving the project a green light all the way, so many troubles were naturally avoided during the discussion of various details and ns.
However, when it came to issues regardingnd leasing prices and financial matters, these leaders became more serious.
Regarding Wu Hao leasing all thend in the entire Sanxi Vige, they reached the highest level of authority ording to national policies. This meant aplete lease of the entire 13,230 acres ofnd with an 80-year usage right. The leasing cost was set at an average of 450 yuan per acre per year, paid every 10 years. Additionally, at each payment period, the government would adjust the leasing price based on the currentnd leasing rates.
In other words, during the initial leasing period of these 13,230 acres, Wu Hao would need to pay nearly 6 million yuan annually innd leasing fees to the government. If paid every 10 years, he would have to pay the government 60 million yuan at the beginning of the contract.
As for the previous contract for the mountainousnd that Wu Hao had leased in the vige, it was canceled during the negotiation and incorporated into the new contract. The earlier leasing price for the mountainousnd was only 200 yuan per acre. Still, since the vige also had several thousand acres of arablend, the new price of 450 yuan per acre was aprehensive rate.

I''ve got no idea why but there doesn''t seem to be a chapter 110 on piaotia.
If I find it, I will upload it but until then just put together some of the puzzle pieces and guess what it is.

Furthermore, the annualnd leasing fee of nearly 6 million yuan is only for the part paid to the government. Thepensation for the remaining thousands of acres of farnd and the rtedpensation for upying vigers'' old houses will have to be calcted separately, and these expenses will alsoe out of Wu Hao''s own pocket.
However, the specificpensation has already been negotiated between Wu Hao and the leaders from the city. In fact, whether thepensation is a bit more or less doesn''t matter much to Wu Hao. Even if thepensation he offers far exceeds the normal national standards, he sees it as a little welfare for the vigers.
Some might say that Wu Hao is being too charitable, but in the end, what he''s doing is not difficult for him. Since it''s within his capabilities to help the elders and fellow vigers in his hometown, what''s wrong with that?
Would it be better if he acted like a petty person who doesn''t understand the importance of repaying kindness? After all, in this world, those who truly possess immense wealth all have hearts that are open to all, and they understand the importance of gratitude. Take China''s Jack Ma or the world''s richest man, Bill Gates, for example.
There''s an old saying, "You have to give up something to gain something." Those who truly understand the meaning of this phrase are truly wise and have achieved wealth and social status that ordinary people find hard to attain.
Of course, many people reading this might think it''s just fabricated, and there''s not much reason for me to argue. The truth is, those who truly understand the meaning of "You have to give up something to gain something" are a minority. In reality, most of the so-called wealthy people we see don''t fall into that category. Although they may be considered very wealthy, they ultimately cannot reach the level of true wealth.
For example, when someone is engaged in a certain business with others, they might willingly take a loss in the early stages of a project, sacrificing potential profits for the sake of building a good reputation. On the contrary, if someone starts with a mindset focused solely on maximizing profits, or engages in dishonest practices, the long-term prospects for their business are easily predictable.
Take the renowned Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing as an example. Throughout his career, regardless of the business ventures he undertook, he always ced a strong emphasis on trust and reputation. Even if it meant initial losses and forsaking some gains, the subsequent returns were enormous. Perhaps this embodies the essence of "giving up" for the sake ofter "gains," as evident from the order of the words, with "giving up" preceding "gains."
Therefore, a person''s ability to achieve greatness is closely tied to their vision, open-mindedness, and foresight. In reality, the majority of sessful individuals are those with a broad and amodating mindset; there are scarcely any instances of individuals with narrow, selfish mentalities bing top-tier celebrities or super-rich tycoons.
After reaching a preliminary investment n with the leaders from the city and the town, Wu Hao first had a simple meal with these officials. Following that, they collectively visited Three Creeks Vige for a brief inspection. All in all, Wu Hao spent the entire day busy with these matters.
Finally, after bidding farewell to the city leaders, Wu Hao felt relieved. To be honest, he found it quite ufortable dealing with government officials. Their official rhetoric was something he genuinely struggled to adapt to.
"It seems I need to find a professional manager as soon as possible; otherwise, I''ll have to handle these matters personally in the future." After today''s events, Wu Hao was already considering the urgent need to hire a professional manager to oversee the various investment ns of the "Eastern Gxy Investment Company" in China. Whether it was the industrial zone he invested in before or this new resort, there would be numerous ongoing tasks, and his old friend Hong Lei likely didn''t have the capability to manage everything.
Since his overseas investmentpany, the "Eastern Gxy Investment Company," has already invested in two projects in China, it is essential to establish a domestic branch to handle various matters. This way, Wu Hao, as the behind-the-scenes owner, can free himself from the tedious work.
On that evening, after having dinner with his parents, Wu Hao returned to his room. He opened themunicator andputer to search for a professional headhuntingpany to help him find a qualified manager and other responsible positions. Simultaneously, Wu Hao found a decent office building for the branch through online sources.
"It seems I''ll have to be busy for a few days before I can break free from these tedious tasks!" After finalizing the office space and hiring a headhuntingpany, Wu Hao shifted his focus to the design work for the aircraft.
As for the design ns for the resort and the rted construction proposals, Wu Hao had alreadypleted everything yesterday. Now, all that remained was the formal signing of the contract, discussions with the vigers aboutpensation, and then waiting for a suitable day to start the construction.
This process, naturally, couldn''t bepleted in just a few days or even half a month. After all, in reality, any project, from nning to actual construction, requires a significant amount of preparation time.
Wu Hao was already working at a rapid pace by shortening the preparation time to one month. However, the subsequent construction period might still take a year or more toplete.
After all, this was not a small project. In the resort nned by Wu Hao, apart from retaining the original buildings on his property, additional constructions would be extended around his existing vi. The area would feature various buildings, lofts, and associatedndscaping facilities.
This designated area would serve as Wu Hao''s private domain. After thepletion of the resort, this zone would undoubtedly remain closed to the public.
Apart from this designated area, the remaining thousands of acres ofnd will be used to construct a high-end club-style hotel and its rted facilities. Simultaneously, the surroundingndscaping n will beprehensive. In Wu Hao''s design scheme, the most prominent feature is to use the Three Creeks as the basis and excavate an artificialke covering hundreds of acres.
Therefore, with all these various projects, from construction to finalpletion, even with Wu Hao''s full financial support, it''s not something that can be achieved overnight.
Chapter 113: Demolition Compensation
Chapter 113: Demolition Compensation
The next morning, after providing the detailedpensation n fornd and houses to Wu Sancai, Wu Hao drove to the city.
Wu Sancai didn''t dy upon receiving Wu Hao''s detailedpensation n. He immediately summoned the vigers from all households to the vigemittee to discuss specificpensation matters.
The vigers had been discussing this matter for the past few days. Those who were initially skeptical becamepletely convinced after witnessing a group of leaders from the city conducting on-site inspections yesterday. Therefore, when they received Wu Sancai''s notification today, these vigers were much more active. After all, it concerned the interests of everyone.
"Everyone, quiet down. I believe you all have guessed the purpose of my gathering. Yes, today''s meeting is to discuss the specificpensation for thend acquisition."
"Firstly, let me briefly exin thendpensation n that ''Eastern Gxy Investment Company'' and the city government jointly discussed. After you''ve heard it, if you have any questions, feel free to raise your hand and speak." Wu Sancai called for silence and then began exining.
"Vigers, please go ahead and speak!" someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
Wu Sancai, hearing the voice from below, smiled slightly and continued, "This time, ''Eastern Gxy Investment Company'' and the city government have proposed two mainpensation ns for acquiring our vige''s existingnd. The first n is for Eastern Gxy Company to make a one-time payment to each of you aspensation. The specificpensation is based on a price of 50,000 RMB per mu. The second n is to pay each of you an annual leasing fee of 500 RMB per mu, with a contract period of 80 years."
"In addition to thendpensation, Eastern Gxy Investment Company has also offered two types ofpensation for the acquisition of houses. The first is for Eastern Gxy Company to fund the construction of a vi for each household in our vige, with an area of over 200 square meters. This includes furniture, decorations, and other necessary items. In other words, you won''t need to purchase anything, and you can move in directly once the new houses are built."
"Considering that some vigers may not want to continue living in the countryside after receiving thendpensation, Eastern Gxy Company has a secondpensation option. This involves providing each of you with a one-time demolitionpensation of 800,000 RMB. These are the generalpensation ns. Now, you can go home and think about it for a few days, or if you''ve already made a decision, you can register with me now. Once the registration isplete, thepensation will be directly remitted to you in a few days."
Wu Sancai sessively exined all thepensation ns to the vigers present. The vigers, upon hearing thesepensation ns, were excited, and of course, some were caught in a state of hesitation.
Honestly, the variouspensation ns offered by Wu Hao are significant concessions, essentially akin to giving money to each household in the vige.
After all, whether it''s the price for leasing thend or the one-time purchase cost of thend, it is considerably higher than the nationally specified rates. Moreover, the final n of free vi construction and furniture purchase can be considered an unprecedentedpensation scheme.
Because, considering the current houses in the vige, no matter how you calcte it, ifpensated ording to normal standards, it would be at most 200,000 RMB per household. After all, this is just a small vige in the ind area, not a developed coastal region; thus, thepensation naturally cannot bepared.
However, now, thepensation offered by Wu Hao is almost on par withpensation rates in developed coastal areas.
Based on the calction for the 156 households in Sanxi, with an average of over 20 mu ofnd per household, thendpensation alone would be over 1 million RMB per household. As for choosing the annualpensation of 500 RMB per mu, most vigers probably wouldn''t opt for it, as it''s too slow to generate ie. However, perhaps some older vigers might choose this steady but slow method.
Paying 50 million RMB for the construction of vis for 156 households, along with subsequent investments in furniture and other items, would amount to nearly 100 million RMB. Moreover, in addition to constructing houses, corresponding infrastructure such as roads,munity markets, and other facilities would need to be built. Considering all these projects, it would require at least over 100 million RMB.
Finally, when factoring in the averagendpensation of over 1 million RMB per household, the total investment would be at least 2 billion RMB. In other words, just covering various costs ofpensating the vigers would amount to 4 to 5 billion RMB.
"Vige head, I have no objections to thispensation. My family is willing to receive a one-timendpensation." After a mor of discussions, someone immediately took the initiative to express their stance.
"Vige head, my family is also willing! There''s no need to say more. Thepany where Wu Hao works must have negotiated all thispensation and relocation funds for our vige. If faced with such conditions, and we don''t agree, it would be ack of conscience."
"Yeah! Wu Hao, this young man, has done a lot for our vige. Not only did he contribute money for road constructionst year, but he also often helps us in various ways. I''m willing too!"
After the first person came forward to express their opinion, many others immediately followed suit. After all, the vigers present were not overly greedy individuals. Clearly, Wu Hao''spensation proposals were much higher than standard rates. If they were not satisfied with these offers, it would seem excessively greedy.
Moreover, Wu Hao''s family has maintained good rtions with the various households in the vige. Since Wu Hao became prosperousst year, he has contributed money for road construction and undertaken various tasks for the vige. These actions have been well-regarded by the vigers.
Although many people have harbored envy and jealousy towards Wu Hao''s wealthy family, upon hearing about the substantialpensation, most of them set aside their previous feelings.
However, with over a hundred households, it''s impossible for everyone to maintain their conscience when ites to money and interests. Therefore, a few households still wish to increase thepensation.
As the majority had already expressed their agreement, the few dissenting households did not immediately voice their dissatisfaction. They remained silent and observed the situation.
"Alright, everyone, please quiet down. Since you all understand that the generouspensation from the East Gxy Company is entirely due to Wu Hao, and you are all cooperating actively, let''s proceed orderly. Form a line ande to me one by one for registration. Please be mindful not to create chaos."
Chapter 114: Someone Wants to Be a Holdout
Chapter 114: Someone Wants to Be a Holdout
As Wu Sancai''s announcement echoed, the vigers who immediately agreed started queuing up for registration. As the registered vigers increased, those who chose a one-timepensation for thend and those willing to demolish their old houses for free new ones became the majority.
Receiving over 1 million in cash at once was quite tempting for many people. To put it bluntly, even though each household had an average of 20 acres ofnd, most of it was barren mountainous terrain, and the actual arablend was only a few acres. Moreover, thisnd originally belonged to the country. If assessed ording to the nationalnd requisition standards, they would get at most 200,000 to 300,000 for these 20-plus acres. Perhaps, the country might offer some other safeguard policies, such as purchasing pension insurance, and so on.
However, these various benefits and safeguard policies were far from being as substantial as receiving over 1 million in cash directly.
"I say, Yao Xinggui, are you standing on the side without queuing up because you haven''t figured it out yet, or do you think thepensation given to us isn''t enough? Is your family nning to be a holdout in our vige? If so, even if they don''t agree, we won''t approve it either." The one speaking was a farmer in her forties, known to be quite assertive in the vige.
The viger she called Yao Xinggui was infamous in the vige for being stingy. Now, seeing that he not only didn''t queue up like the majority but also had an eager look, she couldn''t help making a sarcasticment.
In fact, Yao Xinggui was indeed as she described. He wanted to express a different opinion on the considerablepensation currently offered by Wu Hao. Although he was quite tempted by this hugepensation, he couldn''t resist his inner greed and wanted to increase thepensation even more.
"So what if I am? Just because you are satisfied with thispensation doesn''t mean everyone is. Mynd was allocated by the country, and I built the house myself. I want to decide how muchpensation I get. Without my agreement, don''t even think about touching a single inch of mynd, and there''s no way you''re demolishing my house without my consent." Yao Xinggui, seeing that someone preempted what he wanted to say and did so with a mocking tone, immediately adopted an outspoken demeanor, boldly dering his stance.
Yao Xinggui is exactly 50 years old this year, with a very lean figure. His two small eyes give him an unapproachable appearance. He has a wife suffering from dementia, whom he bought from another province decades ago. Besides giving birth to an unsatisfactory son for him, she is usually unable to do anything at home, only understanding how to eat.
As for his son, he has been involved in various mischievous activities in the vige since childhood, leading to a negative reputation. He dropped out of junior high school and went to work in another province, and no one knows exactly what he does.
Thest time he returned to the vige was two years ago. The house in Yao Xinggui''s family was built decades ago with stone and tiles, now very dpidated.
At this moment, the vigers who were initially in line heard that Yao Xinggui was so insatiable, wanting to increase thepensation individually, and even threatening to be a holdout if his demands were not met.
"Hey, Yao Xinggui, do you even know that yournd was given by the state? Now that the country is reiming thend, they have already offered such goodpensation conditions. Yet, you still want more. It seems you want special treatment!"
"That''s right, not to criticize you, but one should know contentment and moderation. Going too far is not good." The vigers around immediately expressed their opinions. Some were direct in their sarcasm and insults, while others were more reasonable. In any case, the majority pointed their criticism at Yao Xinggui.
Seeing this situation, a few households that initially shared Yao Xinggui''s thoughts secretly stepped back. Apparently, they had no intention of speaking out.
After all, the majority of people present approved of thesepensation methods. As the saying goes, the minority should yield to the majority. Now, with over a hundred households expressing agreement, the minority, even if they had different ideas, knew they couldn''t make trouble.
The remaining group of people who didn''t immediately agree were mainly deciding whether to opt for a one-timepensation or the gradual payment method. Some wanted to discuss with other family members before making a decision.
After all, many people in the vige are currently working elsewhere. This significant matter that concerns their own interests naturally requires careful consideration.
Moreover, as Wu Sancai mentioned earlier, they have a few days to consider the options.
"All right, everyone, stop arguing!" Wu Sancai, who was in the middle of the registration work, immediately stopped his work upon seeing the situation. He walked over to Yao Xinggui and the others, greeting and trying to stop themotion.
"Yao Xinggui, I''m not asking you to make an immediate decision. I just said we have a few days to consider. If anyone has any questions, we can discuss it together in a few days. For now, go back and think it over yourself!" Although Wu Sancai was well aware of Yao Xinggui''s personality, at this moment, as the vige head, he couldn''t engage in a quarrel with everyone. Therefore, he had to ask Yao Xinggui to leave first. After handling the registration work for the majority of the vigers, he could then deal with this matter.
"Hmph! Anyway, I''m not satisfied with thispensation. It doesn''t meet my requirements. No one should think about touching my house andnd." Yao Xinggui, now facing the verbal attacks from the crowd, was visibly angered. He shouted defiantly.
Immediately afterward, he left, leaving behind other vigers who continued to criticize and scold him on the spot.
"This Yao Xinggui is really not a good person. He''s usually stingy, and now he''s being greedy for money, even considering bing a holdout."
"Exactly! I''m like this, and his son is not a good person either. He used to engage in all sorts of mischief in the vige. Now, who knows what he''s up to outside, engaging in some shady business."
"What else can he do? Didn''t you see the state of that boy when he came back a couple of years ago? His whole head of hair dyed like a calico cat, clearly a troublemaker wandering around."
After Yao Xinggui angrily left, the surrounding vigers began to discuss and criticize various aspects of Yao Xinggui''s family. It was a collective attack against them.

Chapter 115: Unfavorable Investment
As Wu Sancai continued to call out, the vigers who had immediately expressed agreement began to line up for registration. As the number of registered vigers increased, those who chose to receive a one-timepensation fornd and those willing to demolish their old houses for free new ones gradually became the majority.
Receiving over a million in cash at once was tempting for many, even though most of them only had about 20 acres ofnd per household, and thend was mostly barren mountainous terrain with only a few acres of farnd. Technically, thend belonged to the country, and if assessed ording to nationalnd requisition standards, they would receive at most 200,000 to 300,000 for the 20-plus acres. Perhaps the country would provide some other safeguard policies, such as purchasing pension insurance, but these benefits and policies were far less tangible than the substantial cash offer.
"I say, Yao Xinggui, are you standing there without queuing because you haven''t made up your mind, or do you think thepensation offered by thepany is not enough? Your family shouldn''t be trying to be the nail households in our vige! If that''s the case, not only won''t they agree, but even the rest of us won''t approve," shouted a middle-aged woman from the crowd, known for being outspoken in the vige.
Yao Xinggui heard the voice from below, just smiled faintly, and continued to speak, "This time, ''Eastern Gxy Investment Company'' and the city government have proposed two mainpensation ns for thend they are requisitioning from our vige. The first option is a one-time payment of 50,000 per acre, and the second option is an annual lease payment of 500 yuan per acre, with a contract period of 80 years."
"In addition to thendpensation, the Eastern Gxy Investment Company has also proposed twopensation options for the requisitioned houses. The first is for thepany to invest in building vis of 200 square meters or more for each household in our vige. These vis wille fully furnished, and the residents can move in directly afterpletion."
Considering that some vigers might not want to stay in the countryside after receivingndpensation, the Eastern Gxy Company has a secondpensation option: a one-time payment of 800,000 for house demolition. This is a rough overview of thepensation ns. Now, everyone can go home and consider for a few days. If you have made a decision, you can register with me now, and after registration isplete, we will be able to transfer thepensation to you in a few days."
Wu Sancai ryed all thepensation ns to the vigers present. Upon hearing these proposals, the vigers appeared excited, and some who were initially skeptical became convinced after witnessing the leadership''s on-site inspection. So, when they received Wu Sancai''s notice today, these vigers were more active thanst time. After all, this involved the interests of everyone.
"Everyone, quiet down. I''m sure you have guessed the purpose of my summoning you here. Yes, today we are gathered to discuss the specificpensation fornd requisition," said Mr. Wu Sancai loudly after silencing the crowd.
"Vige Chief, please proceed!" someone in the crowd immediately shouted.
Hearing the voice from below, Wu Sancai smiled slightly and began to exin, "This time, ''Eastern Gxy Investment Company'' and the city government have proposed two mainpensation ns for thend they are requisitioning from our vige. The first option is a one-time payment of 50,000 per acre, and the second option is an annual lease payment of 500 yuan per acre, with a contract period of 80 years."
"In addition to thendpensation, the Eastern Gxy Investment Company has also proposed twopensation options for the requisitioned houses. The first is for thepany to invest in building vis of 200 square meters or more for each household in our vige. These vis wille fully furnished, and the residents can move in directly afterpletion."
For example, in the case of this investment project, Wu Hao publicly imed that it was funded by ''Eastern Gxy International Investment Company,'' not his personal funds. He only upies a portion of thepany''s shares, allowing him to influence some of thepany''s decision-making power.
This way, he can try to avoid raising suspicions about his excessive funds. After all, justst year, Wu Hao was a recent graduate who had recently joined the workforce. Even if he made millions or a few hundred million through stock trading in less than half a year, it might be somewhat believable. However, iming to have earned tens of billions all at once would be hard for people to believe.
However, with the name of ''Eastern Gxy International Investment Company,'' Wu Hao, acting as a shareholder, could propose investment ns, and it would be more eptable.
Upon hearing Wu Hao''s exnation, Hong Lei, although filled with various questions, refrained from continuing to inquire.
In the following time, Wu Hao and Hong Lei first rented an office space for the establishment of the branch. Regarding the office location, Wu Hao was straightforward, directly renting two floors in a 25-storymercial office building as the future office space for Eastern Gxy Company.
After all, Eastern Gxy Company now carries the title of an international investmentpany, and they couldn''t afford to look small. Besides, Wu Hao might have other investment projects in the city in the future, and thepany''s territory would be too small to amodate everything.
"Leizi, you''ll be in charge of the specific decoration work from now on. You''ve been in charge of building the factory for several months. I think finding a decorationpany won''t be a challenge for you," Wu Hao said with a smile after signing the office building contract.
"Hey! What else can I say? You''re the boss, and naturally, I''ll follow your arrangements. But you need to find someone to take over here as soon as possible. I can only handle the decoration part at most. I''m not cut out for management, and I still have things to attend to at the factory," Hong Lei said jokingly.
"You don''t need to worry about that. I''ve already entrusted a well-known domestic headhuntingpany to help find managerial personnel for the establishment of the branch. I believe it won''t be long before you won''t have to oversee things here anymore."
"Well, that''s even better. You don''t know; with more and more things happening at the factory, I''m starting to feel overwhelmed. Despite recruiting some management personnel for the factory, the real managementyer capable of handling everything is still being recruited."
After briefing Hong Lei on relevant matters, Wu Hao checked the time, bid farewell to Hong Lei, and drove to the school where his younger sister was studying.
In fact, Wu Hao''s purpose foring to the city today, besides renting an office space for the branch, was to pick up his younger sister and bring her home. It was Friday, a day off for the school every week.
Although it was referred to as every week, Wu Hao''s younger sister actually had a day off on Fridays every month. Usually, Saturdays were also ss days. After all, Wu Xiaoxiao was now in the second half of her junior year, and for any student, the three years of high school were undoubtedly the most challenging.
Especially after entering the second year, they not only had frequent exams and various remedial sses but also rarely had weekends off.
When Wu Hao arrived at the school gate and checked the time, he didn''t have to wait long before seeing his younger sister walking out of the school gate with a group of girls, chatting andughing. Among these girls, Wu Hao was familiar with one of them, having seen her several times before a girl named Wen Wen.
Chapter 116: Preparing to Raise Funds
Chapter 116: Preparing to Raise Funds
After reaching the school gate with a few girlfriends, Wu Xiaoxiao spotted her brother Wu Hao''s figure in the distance. She quickly waved goodbye to her friends and walked towards Wu Hao with Wen Wen, the girl he was familiar with.
"So, Xiaoxiao''s brother came to pick her up today. No wonder she seemed so happy this afternoon!"mented a few girls as they watched Wu Xiaoxiao leave.
Previously, Wu Xiaoxiao didn''t have many close friends at school, and Wen Wen, who had simr family circumstances, was her closestpanion. However, after Wu Xiaoxiao''s family became wealthier and more attention-grabbing, she received more attention from other girls who were previously distant.
Soon, Wu Hao saw his sister and her friend Wen Wen walking towards him. As soon as they got in the car, he asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to go shopping or head straight home?"
Since Wen Wen was used to catching rides with them on such asions, Wu Xiaoxiao replied, "Let''s go shopping first and then head home! It''s still early."
"Alright, thank you, Brother Wu!" Wen Wen politely expressed her gratitude.
"No need to be so polite!" Wu Hao smiled slightly and drove towards thergestmercial street in the city.
Not long after, when Wu Hao brought the two to themercial street, every item they liked was directly bought in bulk by the store clerks. Even though Wen Wen was initially hesitant to ept, Wu Xiaoxiao persuaded her to happily take the gifts.
Wu Xiaoxiao now had some understanding of her brother Wu Hao. She knew he had earned quite a bit of money outside and that the family''s conditions had improved significantly. Therefore, she wasn''t as reluctant to spend money as she was initially. She also helped her good friend Wen Wen without hesitation during their shopping spree.
After a round of shopping, Wu Hao drove home with his younger sister and her good friend. Upon arriving home, he overheard his mother discussing thendpensation issue in the vige during the day.
"Alright, Mom, I understand. Let''s put this matter aside for now. In a few days, I will take care of it," Wu Hao responded to the news without much surprise. Given the diverse opinions among over a hundred households in the vige regardingnd acquisition and demolition, reaching a unanimous decision was impossible.
Although he offered extremely highpensation to the vigers, the allure of easy benefits inevitably attracted some greedy individuals looking to exploit the situation for greater gain. Wu Hao had a n to deal with these few dissenting voices, but he decided to address this matter after resolving thepensation issues for other vigers in theing days.
That evening, after dinner, Wu Hao took out a drop of spirit liquid, diluted it in water, and prepared to gradually improve his family''s physical condition. Originally, he intended to officially give his mother and sister the spirit liquid after injecting it into his father a few days ago. However, he decided to administer it secretly, believing it was a more prudent approach to change their conditions gradually without raising suspicions.
After dinner with his family, Wu Hao returned to his room, closed the door, and prepared to start his money-making n. Currently, the funds in his anonymous Swiss bank ount were not sufficient for the initial investment in the resort project. Considering the substantialpensation to the government and vigers, he needed several billion for the pre-construction phase alone.
ording to Wu Hao''s nned design, the resort construction involved significant earthwork, especially since Sanxi Vige was in a hilly area. Additionally, he nned to dig an artificialke, and the cumtive expenses required a substantial initial injection of funds.
Back in his room, Wu Hao quickly turned on hisputer andmunication device, connecting with the intelligent program ''Zero'' in the base.
"Zero, how is the situation with the exploration team near the wooden house?" Wu Hao asked about the exploration team stationed near the wooden house. He hadn''t paid much attention to them for several days.
"Boss, I don''t have much information about the situation near the wooden house right now, but I can conduct reconnaissance immediately," Zero responded. Since thest time Wu Hao dispatched a drone to survey the area around the wooden house, several days had passed without further investigation, and Zero couldn''t provide up-to-date information.
"Then go check it out now!" Wu Hao casually said, recalling something. "By the way, those video materials I gave youst time, have you turned them into documentaries?"
"Boss, I have produced documentaries based on the video materials you provided, following the style you previously specified. Do you need to see them now?" Zero asked.
"No need to watch them. You''ve done well. ording to the schedule, it''s about time to release this documentary. I''ll leave this matter to you!" Now, Wu Hao delegated many tasks to the base''s intelligent program not only to free up more of his time but also to cultivate Zero''s emotional intelligence.
After all, Zero wasn''t a true artificial intelligence yet. Wu Hao''s ultimate goal was to develop an intelligent being with autonomous consciousness. Therefore, allowing Zero to handle slightly autonomous tasks was necessary for its emotional development.
After a brief inquiry, Wu Hao directly remotely controlled the coreputer of the base through theputer andmunication device. The coreputer, currently located at the base, boastedputing capabilities that could be considered the most advanced in the world.
Chapter 117: Release of Anonymous Documents
Chapter 117: Release of Anonymous Documents
After a brief inquiry, Wu Hao directly remotely controlled the coreputer of the base through theputer andmunicator. Currently located at the core of the base, itsputing speed was more than twice that of the world''s fastest supeputer. In Wu Hao''s n, he intended to manufacture a quantum-levelputer in the future, one with even fasterputing speed.
Because only with a quantum-levelputer could he upgrade ''Zero'' to a true artificial intelligence. After all, true artificial intelligence, given the currentputers in the world, could not possibly reside within them. Only a quantum-levelputer with stronger performance would have this ability.
After a moment, the base''s intelligent program ''Zero'' received Wu Hao''smand and quickly dispatched small unmanned reconnaissance devices to investigate the people near the wooden house. The results of the investigation were nothing special, indicating that these people had now set up camp on the mountaintop where the wooden house was located. It seemed they wouldn''t be leaving in the short term, and it was possible they would use that location as a temporary foothold in the Qinling Mountains.
Upon learning the approximate situation of these people, Wu Hao stopped paying attention. Instead, he retrieved a package of technical data from the base, anonymously sent it to the relevant department responsible for national defense technology research and development.
This data wasn''t obtained directly from the coreputer of the U.S. Department of Defense. Still, it waspiled, analyzed, and organized by Wu Hao himself using some data from the most advanced Ford-ss nuclear-powered aircraft carrier currently in use.
Although the Ford-ss nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is currently the world''s most advanced carrier, with advanced technologies in various aspects, for Wu Hao, it was not a difficult task to analyze andpile aplete set of construction data if he collected relevant data at home.
After all, Wu Hao''s internal base had various devices, almost all of which he independently researched, designed, and manufactured. His technological capabilities were naturally more advanced by at least ten to twenty years than the current world.
Not to mention anything else, the fusion power generation equipment in the base is not something that ordinary people canpletely grasp and utilize. In addition to fusion power generation equipment, there were many advanced fully automated 3D printing manufacturing devices and robots withprehensive and intelligent functions.
At the beginning of establishing the base, Wu Hao started by manufacturing fully automated 3D printing manufacturing devices, using them as a basis to gradually improve a small industrial technology manufacturing system within the base.
Some might say that it was a fantasy for Wu Hao to achieve all this from scratch, but don''t forget, besides having a super-brain far surpassing ordinary people, Wu Hao also had telekinesis and spiritual perception as a foundation, providing him with absolute control.
For example, when Wu Hao initially manufactured a certain device, even without correspondingrgethes and tools, he could entirely use telekinesis to control its rotation or manipte the tool de with telekinesis to achieve the machining purposes ofthes and milling machines.
After all, under Wu Hao''s telekinesis and spiritual perception, he could meet machining requirements even higher than the world''s highest precision precision machine tools. If Wu Hao only had a super-brain far surpassing ordinary people and mastered various advanced scientific and technological skills, without telekinesis and spiritual perception, he would definitely be unable to achieve the creation of aplete small-scale industrial technology system from scratch.
Because, for any scientist, to achieve corresponding results in any scientific and technological field, there must be a lot of industrial foundation to support it.
For instance, even if a scientist is brilliant, he needs machine tools and tools to process amon part. However, for Wu Hao, who possesses telekinesis and spiritual perception, he only needs the corresponding tool des. With telekinesis and spiritual perception, he can directly process qualified parts.
The reason Wu Hao is now providing the country with various technical data about aircraft carriers is not only to secretly help the country but also to use this technical data as a bargaining chip for future technology-rted transactions with the country.
After all, although Wu Hao has a patriotic heart, in his view, providing the country with technical data once for free is sufficient. If it were entirely free, it might cause some adverse effects, especially since our country is currently not short of money.
Take the United States as an example; every year, they go through numerous meetings when allocating military expenses, and in recent years, their military expenses have even undergone some reductions.
But in our country, every year, the military expenses are entirely as much as needed. This is not only due to the country''s emphasis on national defense but also because it is not short of money. After all, our country''s external debt to other countries is already a huge astronomical figure.
Therefore, since Wu Hao knows that the country is so wealthy, it is entirely normal for him to exchange technical data for some money, especially considering that the technical data he provides to the country is currently the most advanced in the world.
Although our country is currently leading the world in many scientific and technological fields, there are still many technologies monopolized by other developed countries. In recent years, the country has undoubtedly spent a considerable amount of human, material, and financial resources trying to obtain some critical technical data from European and American countries. However, the specific achievements are unknown to ordinary people.
At this moment, when Wu Hao sent this package of various technical data about aircraft carriers to a relevant department in the country, the personnel of this relevant department discovered it.
"Commander, we have received an anonymous document titled Technical Data of Large Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carriers." After receiving the document, the staff member did not choose to download it immediately but immediately reported the situation to their superior.
"Technical data ofrge nuclear-powered aircraft carriers? And it''s an anonymous document?" The person in charge is a middle-aged man around 40 years old. Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, he appeared quite surprised.
Because their department is one of the country''s most confidential departments, tasked with developing various national defense technology projects, and they are currently involved in the research and development of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier project.
"Immediately inform the technical staff to analyze this document, check its safety, and proceed with the download if there are no issues." After a brief moment of contemtion, the person in charge issued relevant orders to his subordinates.
With themand given, soon, some technical security personnel began to inspect the packaged document. After careful confirmation that the document package had no security risks, they proceeded to download the file.

Chapter 118: Technology Transaction
Several minutester, as the files finished downloading, the personnel and responsible individuals in this research and development center who had roughly reviewed the information became excited.
"It''s actually aprehensive set of manufacturing technologies for the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States. It not only includes electromaic catapult technology but also detailed technical data and construction parameters for various other aspects," the responsible person eximed excitedly.
While this person in charge and several other research experts were marveling at the exciting technical data in front of them, someone quickly noticed the message at thest page.
The message was not lengthy, just a few simple sentences. The gist of it was that a patriotic hacker organization provided some assistance to the country''s national defense technology. It also acknowledged their involvement in the previously released documentary on the inte and expressed the intention to engage in future technology-rted transactions with the country.
After reading this short message, these researchers and the department''s person in charge, while marveling at the formidable and mysterious capabilities of the hacker organization named ''Yuan,'' also felt a hint of curiosity about the mentioned technical transactions.
"Everyone, regarding the technical data and the content of this message that you just saw, I hope you won''t mention a single word to anyone. I will immediately report this news to the minister and the top leader." The person in charge spoke with great seriousness, although in reality, even without his words, the personnel involved would not disclose any information externally.
After all, their ability to work in this department was sufficient to indicate that they were among the nation''s top-level scientists, and they naturally had a high level of awareness about confidentiality.
In fact, when ites to national defense security, our country can be considered one of the world''s top yers. Not to mention this experimentalboratory for national defense technology research and development, even information about various weapons and forces currently in service by the country is known to the outside world to a limited extent.
On the other side, after sending out the packaged technical data rted to the aircraft carrier, Wu Hao did not continue monitoring. Instead, he resumed his study of the aircraft''s stealth-rted technology.
In fact, for the aircraft that Wu Hao wants to manufacture, all other aspects of technology and design solutions have already been settled. Only thest technology to ovee is the light and shadow refraction stealth technology for the outer shell.
This light and shadow refraction technology has long been researched in someboratories worldwide, and some progress has been made. However, achieving this technology thoroughly and applying it to an aircraft still has a long way to go.
After all, even though Wu Hao has been researching for quite some time, the technology for light and shadow refraction to achieve a certain level of stealth effect has entered its final stages.
Given Wu Hao''s current progress, it will take at most another week toplete. Then, he can directly instruct the base to start manufacturing. Afterpleting the final critical steps, with his personal operation, the manufacturing of his first aircraft can be aplished.

Given Wu Hao''s current progress, it will take at most another week toplete. Then, he can directly instruct the base to start manufacturing. Afterpleting the final critical steps, with his personal operation, the manufacturing of his first aircraft can be aplished.
The next afternoon, after nearly a day had passed, Wu Hao finally received an email from a national secret department. The email primarily expressed the country''s gratitude for the aircraft carrier data he provided, and it also indicated the nation''s interest in the mentioned technology trade.
Wu Hao didn''t find the content of the email strange; instead, he began to consider which type of technical data to trade with the country first.
Although Wu Hao nned to engage in some transactions with the country regarding defense technology, he wouldn''t do so frequently. After all, too frequent transactions might give the impression that obtaining these technical data was too easy, potentially diminishing their value or even causing undesirable consequences.
Because Wu Hao remained anonymous and fabricated this interaction with the country through a hacker organization, if he gave the impression of being too powerful, it might trigger unfavorable reactions from the nation.
After all, for any country or government, the appearance of a mysteriously powerful entity with capabilities beyond imagination would undoubtedly raise suspicions and concerns.
Currently, Wu Hao might appear somewhat mysterious, but as long as the technologies he presented were existing worldwide and merely not yet mastered by China, it wouldn''t have a significant impact.
Soon, after some consideration, Wu Hao had an idea: "The country is still finalizing the design of the 5th generation fighter jet. Apart from certain parameters that need repeated testing, it seems there are some challenges in the engine. I''ll use this technical data for the first transaction with the country!"
Wu Hao was well aware of the ongoing development and deployment of fighter jets worldwide. Although he hadn''t delved deeply into the specific technologies, it wasn''t a difficult task for him.
For an advanced fighter jet, aside from its electronic devices and other rted technologies, the most crucialponent is undoubtedly the engine.
It can be said that solving the issue of fighter jet engines brings the manufacturing of an advanced fighter jet closer.
Not limited to fighter jets, any weapon, including tanks and naval vessels onnd, relies heavily on essential propulsion systems.
In the realm of fighter jet engines, the technology the country possesses stillgs behind the world''s leading standards. If Wu Hao can help the country ovee this challenge, it will undoubtedly have a significant impact on and contribution to the nation''s defense industry.
After making the decision, Wu Hao spent the evening organizing a set of fighter jet engine design drawings, along with rted technical data and parameters. Theption of the technical data wasprehensive.
These technical data were replicated based on the most advanced fighter jet engines in the United States. Although it''s termed as replication, all the technical information was identical.
Certainly, Wu Haopiled these technical data himself because, for such technologies, he didn''t need to resort to stealing from the U.S. technology database.
Even though Wu Hao could copy directly through intrusion, this would undoubtedly attract attention from the United States. If the U.S. took notice and Wu Hao sold this technical data to the country, there might be repercussions once the U.S. became aware. In such a scenario, the potential consequences would outweigh the benefits.
Now, with the United Statespletely unaware, once China gained control of the technology, it would be indistinguishable from self-developed and manufactured engines.
After all, fighter jet engines are quite simr; the differences lie mainly in some critical materials and minor variations in other aspects.
Chapter 119: Payment of Compensation
Chapter 119: Payment of Compensation
After organizing the design and manufacturing blueprints for the world-leading fighter jet engine, once Wu Hao finished, he replied to the address that had messaged him before.
"Commander, they replied. The message says they currently have detailed design blueprints and specific parameters for thetest U.S. military fighter jet engine. They''re asking if we''re interested. If we''re willing to trade, they only need 1 billion USD, and they can provide us with the relevant information."
In reality, if the value of these engine design blueprints were calcted, it would definitely be more than 1 billion USD. Although 1 billion USD seems like a lot, for any defense technology, from research and development to finalization, the investment far exceeds this amount.
Moreover, this is rted to the design of one of the world''s leading fighter jet engines. The reason Wu Hao is selling it to the country at such a low price is considered a concession and favor to the country!
"Thetest U.S. fighter jet engine design?!" Themander, upon hearing the report, was somewhat surprised. He thought the other party''s capabilities were too great. Not only did they obtain the design blueprints for the most advanced U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but now they also got their hands on the technical data for the engine of the current U.S. 5th generation fighter jet.
However, despite his surprise, he quickly realized the situation. He immediately instructed his subordinates, "Respond immediately, tell them we agree. Once we receive and confirm the blueprints without any issues, 1 billion USD will be transferred immediately."
Soon, the message was conveyed to Wu Hao via email. After seeing the contents of the email, Wu Hao didn''t hesitate much. He directly packaged the well-organized data and sent it over. He also included his anonymous Swiss bank ount.
Since this was a covert and anonymous transaction, Wu Hao couldn''t use any domestic bank to receive payments. Therefore, an anonymous ount in a Swiss bank was the best choice.
Just as Wu Hao sent the rted data and blueprints to the country, he received a reply from the country not long after. The anonymous Swiss bank ount also received a transfer of 1 billion USD.
In fact, the reason why the transaction between Wu Hao and the country went so smoothly this time was that it was personally inquired about by the highest leader of the country. He expressed a keen interest and emphasized the need to maintain a close and good cooperative rtionship with Wu Hao.
Although the country was very curious about the organization Wu Hao had fabricated, since the other party had now made it clear that they were leaning towards the Chinese side, how could they easily give away U.S. aircraft carrier technology to China for free? And now, they were selling one of the most advanced technical data, the fighter jet engine technology, to China at such a cheap price?
Therefore, the current efficient work efficiency on the part of the country is precisely due to the personal inquiries and orders issued by the highest leader.
In the vi room in his hometown, Wu Hao, after receiving the country''s response and checking the deposit in the Swiss bank, smiled slightly and thought, "With this 1 billion USD, I shouldn''t be short of funds for a while."
Two dayster, Wu Sancai once again summoned all the vigers to the vigemittee, and this time Wu Hao personally appeared. The main purposes of his involvement in this gathering convened by Wu Sancai were two-fold.
The first one was to prepare and sign contracts with those vigers who had registered and demandedpensation, and then paypensation to them.
The other purpose was to deal with those few households that had not agreed to thepensation demands. Among these households, the most troublesome was Yao Xinggui, who had caused a stir at the vige meeting a few days ago.
The remaining five households were simply adopting a wait-and-see attitude, observing Yao Xinggui''s final reaction. If Yao Xinggui agreed, they would naturally agree; if not, they would wait and see.
Soon, when all the vigers had gathered, Wu Sancai took the initiative to organize them. "Everyone, the purpose of gathering you all again today is quite simple. Oriental Gxy Company will today pay thepensation due to the registered households present here. It will be done through on-the-spotputer transfers. In other words,ter, as long as you queue up to register your bank ount, you will receive the rightfulpensation in no time."
Upon hearing Wu Sancai''s words, the vigers present appeared very excited, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
"We can actually receivepensation so quickly! ording to the previous registration, my family is entitled to apensation of up to 1.3 million! I never thought I could have so much money in my life."
In fact, this on-the-spot payment ofpensation was intentionally organized by Wu Hao. His purpose was straightforwardto make those households that hadn''t registered yet witness everyone receiving their respectivepensation on the spot.
Originally, Wu Hao had nned to use cash payment for a better effect. However, considering that handing over so much cash to these vigers at once might not be safe, he opted for the current on-the-spot bank transfer method.
For this on-the-spot transfer, Wu Hao specially informed the bank and dispatched two staff members to handle the operation. Additionally, he hired two professionalwyers to handle the signing of contracts.
These twowyers are special legal advisers for the Huaxia branch of the Oriental Gxy Investment Company, which was recently established by Wu Hao. The CEO of the branch has already been found by a headhuntingpany. After reviewing the resume and information of the candidate, Wu Hao is rtively satisfied with this professional manager in his thirties, who has nearly 10 years of management experience.
Therefore, even though the current office location of thepany in the city is still under renovation, the professional manager named Wu Zhengwei has already begun his work as the CEO. Tasks such as recruiting thepany''s legal advisers are being handled by him.
Soon, after discussing the on-the-spot payment ofpensation, Wu Sancai first signaled the vigers to be quiet and then continued, "Today, in addition to on-the-spot payment ofpensation to the registered households, there is also some good news to share with everyone." When Wu Sancai reached this point, the vigers at the scene began discussing again.
Chapter 120: Countermeasures
Chapter 120: Countermeasures
"Vige Chief, is there any other good news?" The person who spoke first was obviously an impatient person. As soon as he opened his mouth, he preemptively started discussing below.
But this is also normal. After all, they are all ordinary vigers. In such a vige meeting, as soon as they hear any news, there will definitely be various discussions and voices below.
Seeing this, Wu Sancai had to wave his hand again to quiet everyone down before continuing, "The good news is that the Oriental Gxy Company wants to ensure that our elderly vigers have security after losing theirnd. Therefore, for every household that signs the contract, residents aged 40 and above will receive free pension insurance funded by the Oriental Gxy Company."
Currently, when the country implementsnd requisition ns in rural areas, in addition to collectingnd at the corresponding prices, various preferential policies for purchasing pension insurance for some elderly vigers have also been implemented.
Although Wu Hao''s approach may cost a little more money, it can provide assurance for some elderly people in the vige. After all, although the vigers can now receive almost a million inpensation for each household, along with a free house, it is difficult to guarantee what some vigers will do with this money. If they spend it quickly, it is equivalent to losing their security after losing theirnd.
Therefore, the guarantee n introduced by Wu Hao is also aimed at preventing some vigers from spending all the money, providing security for these elderly people in the future.
"Vige Chief, does the free purchase of pension insurance require residents to be over 40?" Some vigers, happy but feeling a bit regretful, asked after hearing the news.
"Yes, indeed, only residents aged 40 and above can enjoy this benefit." Wu Sancai understood what these vigers were thinking when he heard their inquiries. They simply wanted to take advantage of the situation.
However, he didn''t think about why Wu Hao introduced this guarantee n in the first ceto ensure security for the elderly in the vige. To be honest, the age limit of 40 is already a very low restriction. After all, this is pension insurance. Do people in their twenties or thirties usually consider purchasing this kind of insurance? Typically, people aged 40 or 50 start thinking about buying such insurance. Now, those who are inquiring secretly are just trying to take advantage of the situation and are not satisfied even though they have gained benefits.
Meanwhile, outside the crowd, those few households who have not registered yet and still want to fish in troubled waters and see how muchpensation Yao Xinggui can get, secretly began discussing after hearing this news.
"Old Wang, what do you think about this? Let''s just agree to it." The person who spoke considered taking advantage of the situation, and hearing that only those who agree to sign the contract can enjoy this policy, he couldn''t help but loosen up because his family has four people who meet the requirements for free insurance.
If it is ording to the normal way to purchase pension insurance, his family would have to pay hundreds of thousands until the age to receive the pension. Anyone with a bit of understanding would calcte this ount.
The person being asked is also calcting in his mind at this moment. Judging by his appearance, he is somewhat tempted by the preferential policy implemented by Wu Hao.
In fact, Wu Hao''s preferential policy covers almost 300 people in their entire vige. In other words, if each person purchases an average of 6,000 yuan per year for pension insurance, paying for an average of 25 years, each person would pay around 150, totaling a sum of over 400 million. Moreover, the insurance fees purchased by Wu Hao for the vige are not limited to this annual amount of 6,000 yuan. However, even if among these 300 people, there are some who are slightly older and some who have just reached the age of 40, averaging the costs may vary, but in the end, Wu Hao would still spend over 50 million more.
Soon, after Vige Chief Wu Sancai announced all the specific rted matters, he began to organize the vigers to sign contracts with thewyers dispatched by Wu Hao and then proceed with the transfer of funds by the bank staff.
While the signing of contracts and the fund transfer were smoothly underway, Wu Sancai came to Wu Hao and asked, "Wu Hao, how many households haven''t registered yet? Do you think it''s time to bring these people over for a discussion?"
Wu Hao looked around and found that those few households that had not registered were still discussing secretly in the distance. Yao Xinggui, who had caused the most trouble a few days ago, was currently holding his thin body and making a phone call, seemingly inquiring about something.
Seeing this, Wu Hao shook his head and said to Wu Sancai, "Let''s leave it at that for now. It''s not useful to call them over right now."
It turns out that just now, although Wu Hao only casually nced at those vigers in the distance, he also heard their conversation very clearly. Knowing the content of their conversation, Wu Hao knew that even if he negotiated face-to-face with these people now, there might not be any results.
Moreover, these people showed such insatiable greed. Faced with such excellent conditions, they still wanted more. Wu Hao naturally had no good feelings for such people. Although he would eventually deal with these people, it was still a long time before the official start of the project. Therefore, Wu Hao nned to leave these people alone for now!
He wanted to see what kind of mentality these people would have when they saw that other families in the vige had receivedpensation and corresponding preferential policies, and they themselves, despite wanting more advantages, had not made any progress. If, at that time, Wu Hao hinted that he didn''t want thend of these few people, they would probably be more anxious.
Although Wu Hao wanted to help the vigers in the vige live a good life from now on, for those who are insatiable, if hepromises easily and satisfies their small advantages, what would the other vigers who have already receivedpensation think?
For example, if Wu Hao were to individually provide these people withpensation double that of other vigers, although this amount of money is insignificant to Wu Hao, for the vigers who have already received standardpensation, there would inevitably be some psychological imbnce.
Chapter 121: Stealth Aircraft
Chapter 121: Stealth Aircraft
And now, Wu Hao''s approach of temporarily ignoring the households that are reluctant to eptpensation is not umon. This strategy has been used by the country and some developers for quite some time.
For instance, in cases where certain individuals refusepensation, like those notorious "nail households" we hear about in certain ces, it might be due to some unscrupulous developers using hical methods duringnd acquisition, attempting to coerce residents into epting lowpensation. In such situations, those who refusepensation are seen as taking a stand.
However, in cases where the government is carrying out certain projects, such as highways or other infrastructure developments, the vast majority of local residents and vigers usually agree to thepensation terms. Only a few stubborn individuals might resist. In these cases, if repeated efforts to persuade them fail, the construction teams may decide to start work elsewhere, leaving these stubborn individuals as the so-called "nail households."
In reality, many of those who initially refusedpensation often regret their decision when construction begins. However, by that time, the department responsible forpensation has little interest in dealing with them. The reason behind this is simple: deliberately keeping those who initially refusedpensation waiting. This process often takes several years. When the project is nearingpletion, they are gradually approached to discusspensation and relocation.
Of course, this approach is typically applied when it doesn''t significantly affect the overall construction progress. In Wu Hao''s case, the resort he ns to build covers the entire vige, and the scattered fields of those households who haven''t agreed topensation need to be settled before formal construction can begin.
However, before that, Wu Hao can proceed with building the new residences andmunities in the vige. After all, he needs to wait until the construction of the houses promised inpensation isplete before the vigers can move out of their old homes. Only then can Wu Hao''s resort construction project be officially initiated, and the construction of new residences andmunities doesn''t impact those households that haven''t agreed topensation.
Because the residences nned by Wu Hao are originally situated near the vige on the side close to the road leading to the town, based on Wu Hao''s calctions for each household upying a ground area of 200 square meters, the total nned area of 30 mu is already quite substantial for the 100-plus households in the entire vige, including other areas designated formunity squares and market buildings.
However, the mere 30 mu ofnd is rtively smallpared to the vast 10,000 mu owned by Sanxi Vige.
Nevertheless, even though Sanxi Vige has only 156 households, and a few have not agreed topensation or epted thepensation method of exchanging old houses for new ones, Wu Hao''s n for the new residential area in the vige cannot be based on constructing as many houses as there are households. After all, the poption in the vige is expected to increase in the future. Therefore, Wu Hao needs to build at least 200 sets of housing in the initial phase. The houses Wu Hao is building for the vigers are not entirely independent vis but semi-detached row houses. While each has its own garden, this construction style significantly saves on building costs.
The final built-up area for these semi-detached row vis is not precisely 200 square meters but closer to 300 square meters. This calction does not include the third-floor loft construction. If using the calction method employed by real estate developers, the total area of these houses, including the garden, would likely be around 400 square meters.
Additionally, in the new residential area nned by Wu Hao, besides approximately 200 sets of vis, there are also several small high-rise residential buildings. The ground floor of these buildings is designated formercial use, while the upper floors are reserved for future poption growth in the vige.
Regarding these surplus residences andmercial spaces, Wu Hao has given priority purchasing rights to the vigers. In other words, if some vigers have the foresight and are willing to use their recently acquiredpensation to buymercial spaces or other residences, it indicates they belong to a forward-thinking category.
After all, once the resort vige ispleted in theing years, even if it initially has no business, it will still bring significant benefits to the vigers. Meanwhile, the newly constructed collective housing will undoubtedly form a new gathering ce simr to a small town.
In this way, after a busy few days, Wu Hao has finally managed to handle the affairs of both hispany and home. The construction project for the new residential area in the vige has also secured a construction unit. As for those households in the vige that have not agreed to the demolition andpensation, Wu Hao has not rushed to deal with them.
Because now the vast majority of vigers and residents in the vige have received a considerable amount ofpensation, it is probably not Wu Hao who is anxious but those residents who have not agreed.
After the temporary conclusion of the matter, Wu Hao returned to the base. Through the leisure time of the past few days, Wu Hao has made crucial progress in solving the issue of aircraft invisibility caused by light and shadow refraction. He only needs to return to the base to carry out specific practical confirmations.
In the past few days, the researchers near the base received some orders and left two days ago. ording to Wu Hao''s spection, the departure of these researchers should be a statement from the country regarding the fictitious hacker organization created by Wu Hao.
Firstly, they found nothing at the location of the Qinling Wooden House. It can be said that apart from that wooden house, no abnormal situations were detected. Moreover, with the technological transactions between Wu Hao and the country carried out in secret, some high-level officials in the country have also unified their approach to Wu Hao''s currently fabricated organization. Therefore, these researchers naturally had no need to continue staying at the wooden house.
On this side, after returning to the base, Wu Hao did not dy much but immediately immersed himself in the development of the aircraft. After a few days, through practical experimentation and testing, Wu Hao finallypletely mastered the issue of aircraft invisibility.
"Zero, immediately start the manufacturing work of the Mark 1 aircraft." After mastering itpletely, Wu Hao immediately instructed the base''s intelligent program. As for the name of this aircraft, Wu Hao directly borrowed the name Mark 1 from Iron Man''s Tony Stark.
Although this aircraft by Wu Hao, except for the invisibility technology, does not have high-end technology in other aspects, and it is much less advancedpared to the Iron Man''s armor in the movie. Nevertheless, a movie is a movie; in the real world, Wu Hao''s aircraft is undoubtedly a high-tech product.
Chapter 122: Mark 1
Chapter 122: Mark 1
After Wu Hao issued the instructions, the intelligent program Zero in the base immediately started manufacturing the main body of the aircraft and other rted electronic devices and instruments based on the aircraft''s drawings, using the equipment within the base.
Firstly, the shell framework of the aircraft adopted a new type of carbon fiber material, which was formed through integrated 3D printing.
Other electronic devices were also manufactured using appropriate 3D printing equipment. Normally, Wu Hao''s base did not produce any surplus electronicponents and simr items; they were basically manufactured when needed.
Because the shape of each device''s requiredponents waspletely different, not everything could be uniformly matched. Moreover, the base had a limited quantity of stored raw materials, and it was not possible to carry out mass production of a certainponent each time.
With various manufacturing equipment in the base continuously operating, by the evening of the second day, the Mark 1 aircraft named by Wu Hao waspletely finished.
The aircraft was colored silver-gray, with basic parameters: length 8.89 meters, maximum height 1.9 meters, maximum width inside the cabin 2.6 meters, and overall shape tapering. The external maximum width was 4.6 meters.
The cabin door was located at the rear of the aircraft, and the entire internal space of the aircraft, except for a spacious single-seat cockpit at the front, was used for storing items.
In other words, the main purpose of this aircraft was for Wu Hao to transport goods. Although the overall length of the aircraft was nearly 9 meters, slightly different from the initial design, the final weight was only 1.3 tons.
This meager weight of 1.3 tons, for an aircraft with a total length of nearly 9 meters, could be considered quite light.
After all, all the materials used in this aircraft, except for some electronic devices and circuits, were non-metal materials. For instance, the main framework of the aircraft was made using a new type of carbon fiber material.
The silver-white special shell covering the entire exterior of the aircraft was also manufactured from a special reflective material capable of preventing radar detection waves and achieving invisibility through light and shadow refraction.
Although this material itselfcks high protective capabilities and cannot withstand attacks from weapons like bullets, once the aircraft activates the time-space refraction invisibility function, unless a person stands within 5 meters of the aircraft, where they might see a distorted light and shadow, beyond this distance, the human eye cannot perceive the existence of the aircraft.
As for preventing radar detection waves, in addition to the fact that the surface of the aircraft does not have any protrusions, reducing radar wave reflection, the silver-white special materialyer on the aircraft''s shell canpletely iste radar wave detection. This istion effect is much higher than the stealth effects of stealth coatings possessed by various countries worldwide.
Therefore, as long as the aircraft activates the invisibility function, it can silently fly anywhere. As long as the distance from humans is over ten meters, the human eye cannot see any disturbances.
The previously mentioned 5-meter distance is only a minimum limit, a conservative distance. Ten meters and beyond canpletely guarantee absolute invisibility.
As for the silent operation, it''s easily exined. Firstly, the aircraft is equipped with some high-energy reserve batteries and only a small amount of electronic devices. Itcks any propulsion system. During flight, it entirely relies on Wu Hao''s telekic power to propel it. Wu Hao''s telekic power can control objects up to 10 tons. Using this significant control force to manipte an aircraft with a mere weight of 1.3 tons for flight is like child''s y. Even if Wu Hao pushes the aircraft to fly beyond the speed of sound, there is no pressure.
Currently, fighter jets worldwide that can achieve supersonic and hypersonic flight have a body weight of over a dozen or twenty tons. Their thrust is around 10 tons at most, maybe up to 15 tons. There are engines with greater thrust, but once such high-thrust engines are installed on an aircraft, the aircraft''s own weight naturally increases.
So, based on the thrust ratio, Wu Hao''s telekic control ability of 10 tons can easily handle a mere 1.3 tons, or even load some goods, making the total weight exceed 3 or 4 tons. With Wu Hao''s telekic power, the aircraft can perform supersonic flight.
However, even though this is theoretically feasible, once the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound during flight, it faces more problems. Firstly, the strength and heat resistance of the aircraft be issues. Although Wu Hao''s manufactured aircraft''s main structure has no concerns when flying at supersonic speeds, theyer of special invisibility material on the surface of the aircraft is not designed for such conditions.
ording to the current parameters and strength of Wu Hao''s Mark 1 aircraft, it can at most barely maintain subsonic flight. Once it exceeds this speed, the invisible material shell on the surface of the aircraft will face the danger of overheating or insufficient strength.
However, if Wu Hao only controls the aircraft without loading any items, during flight, if he uses a portion of his telekic power to form a protective shield around the external surface of the aircraft, then the aircraft can still achieve supersonic flight.
As for hypersonic flight, that will have to be addressed in future research by Wu Hao. However, for now, the capabilities of this Mark 1 aircraft meet Wu Hao''s requirements.
After all, Wu Hao''s purpose in manufacturing this aircraft is not for it to fly at high speeds but to have the ability to transport anywhere.
If the goal were simply to manufacture a fast-flying aircraft, Wu Hao could use another material with higher strength and heat resistance to create a smaller aircraft. In that case, the aircraft''s flying speed would probably only beparable to a missile.
Currently, no type of fighter jet in the world can bepared to it. However, such an aircraft would only have the ability to prevent radar detection and cannot achieve true invisibility.
Moreover, whether it''s an airne or a missile, once they exceed the speed of sound, the detonation and noise generated during flight are definitely substantial.
Even from a considerable distance, their noise can be heard. In such a scenario, even if the aircraft possesses invisibility effects that the human eye cannot perceive, the generated detonation and noise can still be detected by people.
Therefore, Wu Hao''s aircraft will typically fly at speedsparable to ordinary civil aviation nes. As for supersonic speeds, it will only be used in special circumstances, and under normal conditions, it is not something Wu Hao will use.
Chapter 123: New Plans for the Base
Chapter 123: New ns for the Base
After thepletion of the Mark 1 aircraft, Wu Hao immediately conducted a series of tests within the base. After thorough testing, it was found that all aspects of the aircraft were functioning properly. Wu Hao entered the cockpit through the front-opening cockpit door.
The opening and closing mechanism of the cockpit door resembled that of a fighter jet, opening from the top front position. The key difference was that, unlike the transparent ss doors of fighter jets, Wu Hao''s Mark 1 aircraft had only a small transparent section in the front, with the rest covered in stealth material.
Even the small transparent section had a special reflective film. Although this film''s stealth capability was not as strong as the stealth material covering the rest of the aircraft, it still possessed a quarter of the stealth ability.
In other words, the stealth capability of this section of the cockpit door was rtively weaker, but its impact on the overall stealth of the aircraft was not significant. Typically, the aircraft would be at a considerable distance from human observers during flight, and Wu Hao had no intention of bringing the aircraft into crowded areas without reason.
"Boss, Mark 1 has been tested and is ready for takeoff at any time," echoed the voice of the base''s intelligent program, Zero, throughout the facility.
Without dy, Wu Hao entered the cockpit of the aircraft. After closing the cockpit door, the interior was not dark but rather exceptionally bright. Sufficient lighting systems and other electronic devices, such as global positioning navigation and satellitemunication systems, illuminated the interior. If not for the current energy constraints relying on high-energy batteries, Wu Hao would have considered installing more functions.
Inside the cockpit, Wu Hao could not only see a portion of the outside through the front door but also view several video screens disying images from cameras installed in various directions around the aircraft.
Even when piloting the aircraft, if Wu Hao''s eyes couldn''t directly see the outside from within the aircraft, he could still perceive the surroundings through telekinesis and mental sensing.
With these cameras providing visibility, Wu Hao could save some mental energy, no longer needing to use telekic power constantly to ensure the aircraft''s flight orientation.
Soon, as the main channel of the base opened, Wu Hao used telekinesis to lift the aircraft off the ground and then retracted thending gear. Consequently, the entire outer shell of the aircraft slowly became transparent. Only from a very close distance could observers see a ripple-like distortion in the area where the aircraft was located.
The characteristics of the stealth material on the aircraft''s outer shell were simr to those of transparent products still in the experimental stage, such as the widely circted concept of transparent smartphones on the inte. However, Wu Hao''s aircraft had much stronger stealth capabilities than these so-called transparent smartphones and could directly block radar detection.
As the aircraft lifted off the ground and the main channel of the base opened, Wu Hao piloted the aircraft out of the base and into the airspace above.
"Well done, Mark 1 is operating very well in all aspects. Now, let''s see how it performs in high-speed flight!" After flying out of the base, Wu Hao was rtively satisfied with various aspects of the aircraft. Piloting a telekically controlled aircraft weighing just over a ton was a piece of cake for him. So, Wu Hao immediately began controlling the aircraft to ascend and then elerate.
The efficiency of the telekically controlled eleration by Wu Hao was rapid. In the blink of an eye, the aircraft ascended to an altitude of several thousand meters, then flew at a steady subsonic speed.
At this point, the system data of the aircraft showed that the stealth material on the outer shell could no longer withstand the pressure from continued eleration. Wu Hao quickly allocated a portion of telekic power to form a protective shield on the surface of the aircraft.
With this protective shield in ce, as Wu Hao continued to increase his telekic force, the aircraft immediately reached the speed of sound, generating a strong sonic boom. The passage of the aircraft through the sky also produced intense whistling sounds.
However, at an altitude of several thousand meters and over the sparsely popted Qinling Mountains, these noises were inconspicuous.
"Fortunately, the aircraft, without the support of telekic power, can achieve a decent subsonic speed. Currently, apart from the need for recharging after a certain period of flight, there are no other issues." After this flight test, Wu Hao began to return to the base, aware of the current shorings of Mark 1 and the most pressing issues to address.
Back at the base, Wu Hao began nning the next crucial steps. First, the next phase of the base''s expansion project couldmence. With the aircraft, Wu Hao could conveniently transport raw materials from the outside to the base. Moreover, with the absence of national personnel guarding the nearby wooden house, the risk of exposure was significantly reduced.
Now, with the aircraft, each shipment of raw materials to the base was faster and heavier than before.
Once the development n for the base was determined, Wu Hao immediately ced several orders online and had the suppliers of raw materials deliver these goods to his warehouse located on the outskirts of Chang''an. The raw materials Wu Hao ordered were mainly some of the best steel and other metal materials currently avable on the market.
The most scarce materials for Wu Hao''s base were undoubtedly various metals. Due to the weight of these metal materials, Wu Hao was unable to transport too much in the past.
However, with the aircraft now, the situation had changed. For example, this time he ordered several hundred tons of steel and other metals. Even if he transported around 6 tons per trip, he could make at least two or three round trips in an hour. In other words, with just a day or two of effort, he could transport a sufficient amount of metal materials for the base.
The main reason for the swift speed now was Wu Hao having the aircraft. Although there was a bit more time spent on loading and unloading, when flying over kilometers of distance, the aircraft''s speed allowed him to reach the destination in just a few minutes.
Chapter 124: Base Separation Plan
Chapter 124: Base Separation n
Originally, whenever Wu Hao transported goods, he couldn''t achieve this at all because he always flew at low altitudes and low speeds. If the speed was too fast and the flying altitude too high, it would undoubtedly be detected by the country''s radar.
After all, he was carrying irregr items flying in the sky, and the likelihood of being discovered by radar under such circumstances was extremely high.
But now, with the flying machine, things were different. Firstly, the flying machine itself had stealth capabilities, making both flight and secrecy much more efficient and safe than controlling objects to fly independently.
After several days of busy work, Wu Hao finally stocked enough raw materials for the base''s future development. With sufficient raw materials, Wu Hao initiated the next phase of the base expansion n.
Wu Hao had made a detailed n for the base''s expansion and subsequent development long ago, so now he only needed to assign relevant matters to the base''s intelligent programs.
Because Wu Hao''s base already had quite a few robots and a rtivelyplete small-scale industrial system, expanding the base naturally couldn''t rely solely on intelligent programs and these robots to operate the machinery.
Currently, the number and level of intelligence of the robots inside the base were far from reaching the point where they couldplete various tasks with just onemand from Wu Hao. Therefore, some critical tasks still had to be personally handled by Wu Hao.
However, in the future, Wu Hao would definitely solve this problem. After all, in his n, since he wouldn''t recruit any personnel for his base, he had to focus on intelligent robots.
After arranging the next expansion n for the base, Wu Hao began to consider establishing a sub-base. Once the expansion of the base in the Qinling Mountains waspleted, the energy consumption would undoubtedly increase significantly.
The electrical energy generated by the fusion power generation device Wu Hao currently manufactured could only supply the current scale of the base. If an expansion were to take ce, another fusion power generation device would need to be established.
After all, there were many power-hungry devices within the base, such as the high-pressure smelting furnace for refining metals, various specifications of 3D printing equipment, and the centralputer processing system. Each of these was a heavy consumer of electricity.
Once the base expansion waspleted and a new fusion power generation device was built, it wouldn''t be difficult. However, the demand for deuterium elements, the supply of which supports fusion reactors, would increase significantly.
Even before expanding the base, the supply of deuterium elements for the fusion reactor was already limited. This element was not easy to purchase on the market, and there wasn''t much stock. The deuterium elements acquired by Wu Hao earlier were obtained through various channels.
Therefore, while expanding the base in the Qinling Mountains, Wu Hao also had to quickly establish a sub-base near the coast to extract deuterium elements.
This sub-base didn''t need to be toorge for now, as long as it could extract the elements required for fusion from seawater.
"Zero, open the satellite map." Thinking of this, Wu Hao immediately instructed the intelligent program of the base.
With Wu Hao''smand, the base''s intelligent program, Zero, almost instantly responded by projecting a simted Earth in front of Wu Hao. This circr Earth model was simted and nned by Wu Hao based on collected high-resolution satellite maps. After opening the map, Wu Hao chose to look at the coastal areas of China.
The reason Wu Hao checked the map of the coastal areas of China was mainly because the distance between the sub-base and the Qinling Mountain base was rtively closer than other locations. Although he could establish the sub-base on some foreign inds or in remote areas, it might involve countries and regions that didn''t easily sell most of thend.
However, these ces were rtively far from China and didn''t quite meet Wu Hao''s current needs. After all, his purpose in establishing the sub-base was to extract enough deuterium elements to support the development of the base.
As for the development of the sub-base, it would definitely be considered only after the base in the Qinling Mountains expanded to a certain scale. After all, any endeavor needed to be taken step by step, and rapid development to a significant extent all at once was evidently impractical.
To be honest, the fact that Wu Hao''s base in the Qinling Mountains had developed from scratch to its current state was already incredible. Even when the country was constructing underground bases, they couldn''t achieve the construction speed Wu Hao had.
In this world, no one else possessed telekinesis and mental perception like Wu Hao, coupled with mastery of such advanced technological knowledge. It could be said that without these two abilities, Wu Hao''s current base in the Qinling Mountains wouldn''t have been possible to build.
"It''s not easy to find a secluded ce along the coastal areas of China for the sub-base, and if I establish a sub-base now, I won''t have any free time in theing months." After examining the map for a while, Wu Hao realized that finding a discreet location along the coastal areas of China to establish a sub-base was not an easy task.
Firstly, many areas along the Chinese coast were densely popted towns and viges, making it challenging to find a sparsely popted location. Unlike the Qinling and the Northwest regions, the coastal areas of China were the most economically developed and densely popted regions, with almost every part along the coastline being economically prosperous. As for the inds near the coastal areas of China, most of therger ones were inhabited.
So, the possibility of Wu Hao excavating an underground base in these locations without being discovered was extremely low. Additionally, a crucial issue was that once an underground base was dug in these coastal areas, it wouldn''t be as secure in the initial stages as the Qinling base.
When Wu Hao initially established the base in the Qinling Mountains, he directly excavated rocks from the mountainside andpleted the construction of the main space of the base with simple decorations.
In the coastal areas, finding a mountainposed of rocks like the one in the Qinling base was not easy. Moreover, Wu Hao''s purpose in constructing this sub-base was to directly extract fusion elements from the sea, meaning the base''s location had to be in the seawater.
In that case, not to mention the instation of various equipment, energy, and other devices after thepletion of the sub-base, just excavating the space for such an underwater base was already a superrge project.
Furthermore, Wu Hao had to carry out all this work without being detected. These limitations made it challenging for Wu Hao toplete the construction of this sub-base, even with his telekic abilities and the current aircraft as a means of transporting materials silently along the coastal areas.
Chapter 125: Purchase of Bulk Cargo Ships
Chapter 125: Purchase of Bulk Cargo Ships
"It seems that the n to directly excavate underground space to establish a sub-base is not feasible. Since that''s the case, maybe I can change my approach." After a moment of contemtion, Wu Hao began to calcte other viable options in his mind.
After some calctions, Wu Hao quickly found the most suitable and fastest feasible solution.
"Zero, check forrge ocean-going cargo ships currently listed for sale worldwide." This feasible solution Wu Hao thought of was actually quite simple. He could directly purchase arge ocean-going cargo ship. Ships of this type typically have lengths ranging from 150 meters to 300 meters, with some of thergest in the world approaching 400 meters, evenrger than thergest aircraft carriers.
Of course, Wu Hao wouldn''t choose an excessivelyrge ship to serve as a sub-base. Those exceeding 300 meters in length were scarce globally, and each one was quite famous. Moreover, these ships weren''t readily avable for Wu Hao to buy. Even if he managed to purchase one, it wouldn''t meet his requirement of transforming the entire ship into a sub-base.
Therefore, Wu Hao would, at most, purchase a cargo ship with a length of around 200 meters. A ship of this size would fully meet Wu Hao''s requirements, as anythingrger might pose challenges.
"Boss, the information you requested has been obtained." The intelligent program worked swiftly. In less than 30 seconds after receiving Wu Hao''smand, it presented all therge cargo ships currently listed for sale or transfer worldwide through thework.
Looking at the densely packed images and corresponding specifications, Wu Hao quickly selected a target. The ship he chose was a 230-meter bulk cargo ship.
The reason Wu Hao selected this particr ship was mainly because it was a newly built shippleted only a few years ago. As for why a shipunched just a few years ago was up for sale, Wu Hao had no interest in finding out. All he needed to know was that, in terms of size, tonnage, and condition (newness), it was the most suitable choicepared to other ships. Although it was rtively more expensive than other ships, it wasn''t exorbitant, with a total price of only 50 million US dors.
The main reason Wu Hao chose a bulk cargo ship was because,pared to container ships and oil tankers, bulk cargo ships were much more convenient for modification into a sub-base. After all, bulk cargo ships were originally designed to load various goods, and the internal structure of their holds waspletely different from that of container ships and oil tankers.
After selecting the target, Wu Hao quickly contacted the salespany that had listed the ship for sale. After a series ofmunications and arrangements, Wu Hao directly purchased the ship in the name of the ''Eastern Gxy Investment Company.'' He also entrusted the ship salespany to transport this cargo ship, located in the United States, to a freight port in Shanghai, China.
Afterpleting these tasks, it meant that in just a few days, Wu Hao would be able to see his ship in Shanghai. Although Wu Hao had the shippingpany send the cargo ship to Shanghai, the registration information for the ship did not change. Only the owner was listed as the ''Eastern Gxy Investment Company.''
Once the ship arrived at the port in Shanghai and all the materials and machinery prepared by Wu Hao for modification were loaded onto the ship, it would no longer dock at any ports. Once Wu Haopleted the modification of the cargo ship, aside from its unchanged exterior, its internal power systems and variouspartments would undergo aplete transformation.
Furthermore, Wu Hao would use satelliteworks to make the ship ''disappear'' from the world. This ''disappearance'' didn''t mean it would vanish, but through precise analysis by satelliteworks, the ship wouldpletely avoid detection in the vast ocean.
This detection avoidance applied not only to various civilian vessels but even to the radar of military ships and submarines. The ship could navigate effectively beyond the radar range of these vessels. Achieving this was straightforward for Wu Hao. He only needed to equip the ship with more advanced radar and an independent satellite navigation system. If this method wasn''t secure enough, Wu Hao could directly modify the appearance of the entire ship, installing stealth materials reflecting light and shadows, simr to those used on aircraft.
However, such an approach woulde with high costs and risks. Manufacturing the stealth materials used in aircraft wasn''t easy. Therefore, initially, Wu Hao would rely on radar and satellite positioning to make the ship ''disappear'' globally.
After settling the matters rted to the ship, Wu Hao continued to issue numerous orders through thework. These orders included various raw materials, basic machinery, and a considerable quantity of steel, all obtainable through normal market channels.
In addition to the materials and goods avable through regr channels, Wu Hao also had the base produceponents for manufacturing machinery and equipment. Some of theseponents were used for building fusion reactors, while others were for devices extracting deuterium from seawater. Essentially, anything with high technicalplexity that couldn''t be purchased on the market, Wu Hao had the base produce.
To prepare the variousponents needed to modify the cargo ship as quickly as possible, Wu Hao also temporarily suspended the previously nned expansion of the base.
Time passed quickly, and a week seemed to fly by. During this week, Wu Hao, aside from purchasing a batch of raw materials from the outside world and transporting them to the base, spent most of his time inside the base arranging the production of variousponents required for modifying the cargo ship.
"Alright, the materials and equipment for modifying the cargo ship are almost ready. It''s time to head to Shanghai. Judging by the current time, the cargo in Shanghai should be almost fully loaded onto the ship!" Wu Hao thought to himself as he checked the time.
Soon, Wu Hao loaded the first batch of preparedponents into the spacecraft. After giving a few simple instructions to the base''s AI, he activated the spacecraft''s stealth function using telekinesis and took off, leaving the base.
This time, Wu Hao didn''t carry too many items, only about 3 tons of variousponents. This 3 tons ofponents was less than 10% of what he had prepared for modifying the cargo ship. In other words, after dealing with the matters rted to the cargo ship, he would need to make at least 10 round trips between the cargo ship and the base.
Chapter 126: Leaving the Dockyard
Chapter 126: Leaving the Dockyard
After controlling the aircraft and flying out of the base, Wu Hao quickly located the urate position of the Magic Capital through satellite navigation and flew towards the Magic Capital.
Soon, after about an hour of flight, Wu Hao arrived near the dock where he bought the cargo ship. Since he came this time controlling the aircraft, he had to find a concealed ce to settle the aircraft beforending.
Although his aircraft had excellent invisibility capabilities, without his continuous control, the aircraft could not stay in the air. After all, the aircraft had no propulsion device. Once it lost Wu Hao''s telekic control, it would fall directly from the sky.
So, after patrolling near the dock, Wu Hao, inside the aircraft, selected a rtively concealednding point. This ce was the rooftop of a building not far from the dock, a building with over 30 floors. This building was the tallest in the vicinity, and through Wu Hao''s observation, he found a suitablending point on the rooftop.
As long as he kept the aircraft in invisible mode, it wouldn''t be noticed on the rooftop, which was usually deserted. Moreover, there were no higher buildings near this one, so temporarily parking the aircraft on the rooftop posed no problem.
Since Wu Hao would only leave the aircraft for a few hours, and it would be darkter, he nned to move the aircraft to the cargo ship stealthily. Only if someone came directly to the ship and observed it closely would they see the approximate outline of the invisible aircraft.
After settling the aircraft, as it was still daytime, Wu Hao did not choose the quick and simple way to leave the building. Instead, he took the elevator downstairs and then took a car to the dock.
On the way to the dock, Wu Hao also called the shippingpany responsible for transporting the cargo ship, informing them that he would send someone to take over the ship shortly.
Upon arriving at the dock, Wu Hao quickly met the temporary captain of the cargo ship, a bearded American named James.
"Mr. Wu, are you sure you don''t want to wait for your crew to arrive before conducting the handover of the ship?" After a brief introduction, James quickly confirmed Wu Hao''s identity through the headquarters and understood that Wu Hao was here for the ship''s handover. However, upon hearing that Wu Hao''s crew would arriveter in the evening, he kindly reminded him.
After all, the operation of this cargo ship required about ten crew members, and this ship, built just a few years ago, was a new model among cargo ships of the same tonnage worldwide. Its equipment was more advancedpared to cargo ships of the same tonnage manufactured in China. The operations were slightly different, and in James''s opinion, since Wu Hao was from China, his recruited crew should also be Chinese. Therefore, this reminder was to prevent any unnecessary troubleter when Wu Hao''s crew arrived on the ship without specific handover details and were unfamiliar with the operation of various equipment on board.
"Mr. James, thank you for your kindness, but my crew will probably only arriveter in the evening or tomorrow. As for the operation of this ship, you don''t need to worry. My crew is very familiar with this type of ship, so as not to dy your time," Wu Hao exined with a smile.
"Alright! Good luck with everything," bearded James shrugged when he heard Wu Hao''s words, not saying much.
Soon after James and his crew packed their luggage, they left the cargo ship. Seeing that there was no one else on the ship, Wu Hao went to the cabin to inspect the materials and supplies he had ordered.
"Not bad, there''s no shortage of materials. Now, all we need to do is wait for nightfall to set sail," Wu Hao remarked. For anyone else, single-handedly controlling an oceangoing cargo ship on the open sea would be impossible. However, for Wu Hao, it was straightforward, thanks to his telekic abilities. After all, he possessed a superpower that made such tasks a breeze. Even if the shipcked fuel and an engine, Wu Hao could make it navigate freely on the high seas.
Although Wu Hao''s telekic power of just ten tons wasn''t sufficient to directly control a floating behemoth of tens of thousands of tons on the sea, as long as the ship''s propellers were intact, Wu Hao could use telekic force to drive the propellers for navigation.
Therefore, Wu Hao didn''t need to recruit any crew members, considering his ultimate goal was to transform the ship into a mobile offshore base. Before the ship underwent modifications, he needed to personally control its navigation. However, once the modifications wereplete, he could freely navigate the seas through intelligent programs and satelliteworks, while also effectively avoiding other vessels.
If a shipcked satellite positioning, it would be like a needle in a haystack on the vast sea. In this case, finding the ship''s location in the immense ocean would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.
Time passed quickly. At around 6 p.m., Wu Hao left the cargo ship and took a ride to the building where he had previously parked the aircraft. After this dy, it was already 8 p.m.
Although the dock was still well-lit, it was considerably darkerpared to daytime, and there were fewer people. Thus, when Wu Hao controlled the aircraft to arrive at the cargo ship, he went unnoticed.
After parking the aircraft on the ship''s deck, Wu Hao went straight to the ship''s bridge. Using telekic force, he initiated the ship''s engines. Normally, starting a cargo ship would take a considerable amount of time, but with Wu Hao''s telekic assistance, the ship not only started in just a few minutes but also began slowly departing from the dock.
While some people at the dock found it a bit odd that Wu Hao''s cargo ship was leaving at this hour, no one suspected anything. After a brief nce, they went about their business.
Chapter 127: Modified Cargo Ship
Chapter 127: Modified Cargo Ship
Due to the thorough preparation of various procedures for Wu Hao''s cargo ship, he encountered no abnormalities from controlling the ship''s departure from the dock to sailing dozens of nautical miles away from the port, such as inspections.
As long as Wu Hao could safely navigate the ship out of the territorial waters of Huaxia and enter the international waters, he had nothing to worry about.
While sea travel might be tedious for ordinary people, it was remarkably easy for Wu Hao. After steering the cargo ship out of the harbor and into the expansive sea at the outset, he left the cockpit and set a course for automatic navigation.
Although the ship was equipped with an autopilot system, achievingplete autonomous navigation was impossible without Wu Hao''s telekic abilities. His telekic range covered a significant area of 1000 meters, meaning he could control the ship safely from anywhere on board.
Since he didn''t have to stay in the cockpit all the time, Wu Hao could start modifying the cargo ship during this dull sea voyage. Once hepleted some basic modifications, precisely located the ship, he could freely shuttle between the cargo ship and the base, transporting the high-precisionponents and equipment he had prepared earlier.
The basic materials for modifying the cargo ship were already inside the ship''s hold. These materials were various types of steel, including beams, tes, pipes, and others, all of the highest quality avable in the market. The total weight of these steel materials was an impressive 11,000 tons.
Apart from the steel, there were other metal materials such as aluminum, copper, and various auxiliary materials likerge cables. Thebined weight of all these goods was approximately 22,000 tons. ording to Wu Hao''s modification n, afterpleting the modifications, the fully loaded 65,000-ton cargo ship could carry a maximum of 20,000 tons of cargo.
However, once the interior space of the cargo hold waspletely modified, there would be no extra space for loading goods. Therefore, this issue could bepletely ignored.
Inside the cargo hold, Wu Hao worked efficiently. Tools and equipment, under the control of his telekic abilities, seemed toe to life, performing their tasks in a seemingly chaotic yet highly organized mannercutting and welding in a rhythmic fashion.
At the current pace, it will take at least half a month, and if there are any dys, it will be approximately a month for theplete modification of this cargo ship." Once the cargo ship sailed out of the territorial waters of Huaxia and entered the vast international waters, Wu Hao instructed the ship to proceed at a slow speed. During the modification period, he didn''t intend to take the ship too far from Huaxia.
Of course, he couldn''t allow the ship toe to a halt either. So, Wu Hao''s chosen route had no particr pattern; the only requirement was to ensure the cargo ship was heading toward a certain destination.
Two dayster, after Wu Hao''s extensive modifications to the cargo hold, the fusion reactorpartment of the cargo ship was finallyplete. Simultaneously, assembly of the fusion reactor and rted equipment had begun.
However, before this, Wu Hao had to pilot the spacecraft back to the base several times because variousponents of the fusion reactor were still at the base. Some of theseponents were quite heavy, but fortunately, they were within the range of Wu Hao''s telekic control.
After about three more days, Wu Hao finallypleted the assembly of the cargo ship''s fusion reactor. In reality, he spent only one day on actual assembly during these three days; the other two days were spent shuttling between the cargo ship and the Qinling base.
After almost two days of round-trip transportation, all theponents prepared at the base were sessfully transferred to the cargo ship.
"Now that the fusion reactor is assembled, the original engines of the cargo ship can be dismantled." The reactor Wu Hao assembled on the cargo ship was simr in size to the one at the Qinling base. However, the role of this reactor on the cargo ship was not just for power generation; a portion of its power was used to propel the ship.
In other words, once Wu Hao dismantled the original engines and reced them with the fusion reactor as the power source, the cargo ship would be a nuclear-powered vessel.
If Wu Hao decided to modify the deck of the cargo ship, it could function as a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Of course, the deck of this cargo ship was much smaller in length and widthpared to a real aircraft carrier because the structures of cargo ships and carriers differed significantly.
An aircraft carrier''s deck is considerably wider than that of a typical cargo ship. Additionally, carriers, like warships, prioritize speed, while cargo ships require sufficient internal space and stability for navigation. Therefore, even though Wu Hao''s cargo ship was equipped with nuclear power, it couldn''tpete with a real aircraft carrier due to the significant structural differences between the two.
However, Wu Hao''s cargo ship hadpletely reced its original diesel engines with turbine-driven ones simr to those used in warships. Once at full speed, while notparable to a genuine warship, it would certainly be faster than other cargo ships.
Moreover, with the fusion reactor now onboard, the cargo ship had be akin to a perpetual motion machine. Unless there was a structural issue with the ship''s hull, it wouldn''t need to return to any port for resupply.
While Wu Hao was dismantling the ship''s engines, the cargo ship temporarily stopped sailing and drifted freely on the sea. However, this process did notst long; in just half a day, the cargo ship regained power, and this time, its propulsion was even more robust.
Thepartment where the fusion reactor was assembled was adjacent to the original powerpartment of the cargo ship. Now, after Wu Hao dismantled the enormous diesel engine, this powerpartment appeared empty.
Chapter 128: Ghosts at Sea
Chapter 128: Ghosts at Sea
As for the dismantled giant engine, Wu Hao had no intention of keeping it. Instead, he directly cut it up and disassembled it into various types of scrap metal. However, he didn''t just throw away this scrap metal; he transferred it to a reserved cargo hold. This cargo hold was specifically set aside by Wu Hao for temporarily storing goods and his aircraft.
Afterpleting the modification of the cargo ship''s core power, Wu Hao rested for a day before continuing to focus on other aspects of the cargo ship''s modification work.
In fact, there are only a few areas where this cargo ship needs to be modified. First and foremost is its power system. Since this cargo ship will be sailing in the sea for a long time and will need enough energy for seawater refinement and dposition, industrial fundamentals, namely power, are essential.
Therefore, Wu Hao''s first modification to the cargo ship is to establish a separate sealedpartment and assemble a fusion reactor to rece the ship''s original diesel engine and traditional power generation mode.
Only after solving the cargo ship''s energy and power systems can he proceed with the subsequent modifications.
Over the next few days, Wu Hao didn''t rush to modify the cargo ship''s seawater extraction and refinement system because this part upies almost half of the ship''s space, second only to the fusion reactor chamber.
Instead, afterpleting the assembly of the fusion reactor, Wu Hao temporarily set it aside and began to work on upgrading the cargo ship''s satellite navigation and radar systems.
He naturally found the original radar and navigation devices on the cargo ship inadequate for his needs. Therefore, he first dismantled the ship''s original electronic systems and radar devices and then reassembled and debugged them using various electronicponents and parts he had brought from the base.
After nearly three days of busy work, the entire electronic system, satellite navigation, and radar detection equipment of the cargo ship werepletely renewed.
It wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that the electronic systems, satellite navigation, and radar equipment on this cargo ship are much more advanced than those on the most advanced surface vessels in the world.
For example, the currently active naval radar devices in the world have a maximum detection range of about 300 kilometers on the sea surface, while the radar system installed by Wu Hao on the cargo ship has a range twice as long. As for satellite navigation and electronic systems, they are even more impressive.
However, in terms of satellite navigation, there wasn''t much improvement. After all, Wu Hao is currently using civilian-grade navigation satellites, albeit discreetly.
Although with Wu Hao''s current technology, he could easily manufacture a better navigation satellite system, getting it safely into space is another matter entirely.
After all,unching satellites into space cannot be hidden. With the capabilities of various countries around the world,unching a rocket into space from any corner of the Earth would be noticed.
So even if Wu Hao wants tounch his own satellite, it must be done through official channels. However, this is something he definitely cannot do domestically. Perhaps in the United States, he would have the opportunity tounch his own satellite legally. However, Wu Hao isn''t in a rush for satellites at the moment.
After upgrading the cargo ship''s electronic systems and navigation radar, its safety and secrecy have naturally been greatly enhanced.
Now, the cargo ship''s navigation radar can detect other vessels hundreds of kilometers away and navigate to avoid them based on their trajectories.
In other words, unless the opponent uses satellites to detect in the sky, any warship or vessel on the sea surface cannot directly confront the cargo ship.
Even if satellites are used for reconnaissance, without the satellite coordinates of the cargo ship, searching directly using satellites in the vast Pacific Ocean is extremely difficult to imagine. This is not even considering natural factors such as weather. Therefore, unless the opponent obtains the satellite coordinates of the cargo ship, finding Wu Hao''s cargo ship in the vast Pacific Ocean is currently highly unlikely.
And as for the satellite coordinates of the cargo ship, Wu Hao personally set them. Unless someone possessesputer hacking skills surpassing Wu Hao''s, it would be impossible to crack the highly secretive coordinates he set.
"Now that my cargo ship is basically ''disappeared'' from the world, let''s call it the Ghost Ship!" With that thought, Wu Hao quickly gave his cargo ship a new name,pletely ignoring its original English name.
Wu Hao bought this cargo ship from a shippingpany located in Hawaii. Initially, this cargo ship departed from Hawaii and arrived in the bustling metropolis of Huaxia.
As for why this shippingpany would sell this cargo ship, it''s not difficult to exin. In recent years, the bulk carrier shipping business has be increasingly difficult. Many shippingpanies either went bankrupt or listed their bulk carriers for sale at very low prices.
The reason Wu Hao''s purchased ship could fetch $50 million is mainly because it''s a rtively new ship, having been in service for less than two years. Additionally, the quality of the ship and its various equipment are superior to other bulk carriers of simr tonnage. Otherwise, it wouldn''t be worth $50 million.
For example, other bulk carriers of simr tonnage but with medium age are priced at over $10 million less than Wu Hao''s ship. As for those with longer service years, they are either facing scrapping or are sold for a mere pittance, costing only a few million dors.
It can be said that among the three types of ocean-going vessels with different purposes in the world, bulk carriers are much cheaper than container ships and oil tankers of simr tonnage. Some bulk carriers even cost less than half the price of a container ship or oil tanker of the same tonnage.
The reason why bulk carriers are cheaper than container ships and oil tankers of simr tonnage is because of their different uses. As the name suggests, oil tankers arerge vessels specifically used to transport oil, with tonnages usually ranging from 200,000 to 300,000 tons, some even reaching 400,000 to 500,000 tons, making them massive giants.
Some container ships are also of simr scale. Bulk carriers with tonnages ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 tons are already consideredrge vessels.
For example, the Panama-ss cargo ship purchased by Wu Hao has a maximum carrying capacity of 65,000 tons, which is rtively small among bulk carriers of its ss. However, its actual discement is close to 100,000 tons, and 65,000 tons is just its load maximum safe load.
