Chapter 224 Change X Reunion
In Zhang Weidong's office, the two men turned their heads and looked at Zhang Jinyu who had just entered the room. No one said anything.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?" Zhang Jinyu asked with a smile, "Do you think I look beautiful today?"
While speaking, Zhang Jinyu tucked the hair beside her face behind her ears.
She was indeed a little different today.
She usually wore a high ponytail suit and a long coat and trousers similar to military uniforms.
But today she wore a black windbreaker with a floral long skirt inside...
The most important thing is that her high ponytail that has never changed for thousands of years has finally been let down, and her long black and shiny hair is just draped behind her.
The skin on her face exudes a healthy, unpainted whiteness.
Although the natural lip color is not as eye-catching as bright lip gloss, it is also a healthy pink.
Xiao Jian has never seen someone's natural lip color so bright!
Somehow, although she looks completely different, the visual sense of Tifa on her body is getting stronger and stronger...
Yes, it's temperament!
They have similar temperaments!
Just as Xiao Jian was looking at Zhang Jinyu, Zhang Weidong hesitated for a long time and finally decided to avoid the main point: "Ahem... We were just talking about something else."
Before Zhang Weidong finished speaking, Xiao Jian suddenly interrupted him and said, "It's a storm of faith."
"Storm of faith?" Zhang Jinyu raised her eyebrows, obviously aware of the possible risks behind this term.
"Sit down first..." Xiao Jian stood up, pulled a chair over for her, and even poured her a cup of tea.
Under Zhang Weidong's serious gaze, Zhang Jinyu's expression gradually became serious. After taking the teacup, she stared at Xiao Jian's face and waited for his explanation.
"It's like this..."
Xiao Jian talked about the previous war of gods a little bit, focusing on the process of the believers in the war of gods influencing each other and finally falling into the abyss of fanaticism.
"... In other words, you now also have such risks."
After speaking, Xiao Jian picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea leaves that had cooled down.
"Is that so?" Zhang Jinyu did not show any worry after listening to him. "After becoming fanatics, did their intelligence change?"
"That, I didn't notice." Xiao Jian thought about it and answered - not only did they not show any sign of intellectual decline, but after all the quarrels and complaints, the IQ of these people actually improved slightly... At least their efficiency of action is much higher than before!
"Then I don't think it's a big problem. After all, we already have a fanatic here... She hasn't done anything out of the ordinary for such a long time, right?" Zhang Jinyu smiled.
Indeed, as she said, Xiao Jian actually has a total of 3 followers in the entire Fortress Town.
One of the fanatics is Lucia, who manages the garden for Xiao Jian and collects blank resource cards.
When the giant octopus destroyed N9339, Lucia inherited a small part of the world heritage and obtained the [Induction] characteristic.
Then she became a devout believer of Da Huang...
As for when she became a fanatic, Xiao Jian was actually a little unsure.
Except for the occasional special protection, a bit like a crazy fan to a star... but other than that, there seems to be no extraordinary behavior.
The second is Zhang Jinyu, a devout believer.
At first, Zhang Jinyu was just a second-level ordinary believer. It was not until she experienced the life-and-death crisis in the fortress town that she evolved into a devout believer.
In fact, Xiao Jian had doubts several times whether there was any bug in the classification of these four levels of believers, so that he never felt that Zhang Jinyu was devout to him.
No, wait...
Is her current hazy emotion towards herself also related to faith?
"Hiss..."
Thinking of this, Xiao Jian suddenly felt a little toothache.
So she had been influenced without knowing it?
Or are all devout believers like this?
It seems so...
The black-haired strong man was also a devout believer before, and he didn't show any special ideas.
No!
If the black-haired strong man really has any special ideas, it would be too scary!
As for the remaining shallow believer, Xiao Jian would have forgotten it if he hadn't specifically recalled it - it was the turbulent blonde Maggie that Rukia escaped from N9339.
Among the three, it was the blonde who didn't show any abnormality.
Now thinking carefully, these three believers seem to correspond to "passerby fans", "husband fans" and "die-hard fans" one by one.
"What's wrong? Have you found anything?"
Seeing Xiao Jian's expression becoming more and more serious, Zhang Jinyu hasn't said anything yet, but Zhang Weidong is nervous.
"Nothing... I thought of something."
Xiao Jian looked at Zhang Jinyu seriously: "Do you think... have you been affected by the characteristics of faith?"
"No." Zhang Jinyu shook his head.
"You didn't like this kind of outfit before... You seem to prefer the more neutral outfit."
Xiao Jian reminded.
"Really?" Zhang Jinyu still didn't notice any abnormality in himself, but smiled and asked: "Is it not good-looking? They all say that I am getting more and more beautiful."
"..."
Xiao Jian's brows wrinkled again slightly:
"Indeed, it seems that there is no impact. I was worrying too much. By the way, what are you doing here? Are you looking for Zhang Weidong?"
"Ah! I almost forgot!" Zhang Jinyu stood up quickly and said in a reporting tone: "Report, N6863 is getting closer and closer. Wang Youfu has already prepared for the collision. Should we also prepare as soon as possible..."
"Oh, that, I know." Zhang Weidong thought for a while, "Although it is not necessary, after all, there are so many small fragments in between... But there is no harm in making a little preparation. Just tell them to show your appreciation."
"Okay!" Zhang Jinyu picked up the teacup and drank it all, then ran away.
After she left, Xiao Jian said seriously: "Don't you think she has changed a lot?"
"Who? Are you talking about Jinyu?" Zhang Weidong was stunned, thought about it carefully and said, "She has indeed changed a lot during this period, and has become more feminine!"
"...Don't you think it's strange?" Xiao Jian frowned.
"There's nothing strange about it. The child has grown up and finally looks like a girl. I can't wait to be happy!" Zhang Weidong looked relieved.
"... Forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly." Xiao Jian simply stood up and prepared to go downstairs.
"Hey hey hey! Lord God, the merger seems to be about to start. Do you want to participate in the ceremony?"
"Hey! Lord God!"
"..."
Xiao Jian ignored Zhang Weidong and went straight to the research institute after going downstairs.
Next to the research institute, the crowd next to the isolation room he had just built had dispersed.
Xiao Jian went directly to the glass window and tapped the window with his fingers.
"Lord God! Wait a moment, I'll be there soon... soon!!"
In the house, Shao Youxian's voice came from afar.
Although he couldn't see inside from this angle, Xiao Jian didn't need to guess that the program must have reached a key node again.
So Xiao Jian waited patiently.
Unexpectedly, this wait lasted for more than an hour...
Fortunately, it was only Xiao Jian's clone that was waiting, and his original body could still move around.
"Sorry! Really sorry... I was so engrossed that I forgot the time." Shao Youxian came to the window to apologize for a while, "God, do you want to talk to me?"
"Well, a little bit." Xiao Jian thought for a while, "You said... Will faith change a person's character?"
As he said that, Xiao Jian told Shao Youxian his speculation about fans.
"If you say so, it will indeed have some impact." Shao Youxian first agreed with Xiao Jian's idea, "But... Is it possible that people will always change in their lives?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Xiao Jian was stunned.
"Think about it, if a person believes in Buddhism, then he starts to eat vegetarian food, does that count as being changed?" Shao Youxian threw out an angle that Xiao Jian had never thought of.
"Of course it counts... Huh?" Xiao Jian continued to think along this angle, and suddenly fell into a maze of thinking.
Yes, how should this be counted?
A person who has never played with a mobile phone suddenly came into contact with a smart phone... Then he rubbed the glass of a smart phone every day, is it considered changed?
From the outside world, this is beyond doubt.
But what if we look at it from the perspective of the person involved?
"What's wrong with me playing with my phone?"
Furthermore, there will be "What's wrong with me using the air conditioner?", "I don't wash by hand, what's wrong with me using a washing machine?"
Even further, there will be questions like "Why should I walk when I can take a car?"
From the outside world's observation, the emergence of various new things will change people's behavior.
Although it is difficult to say whether this change is good or bad, there is no doubt that it is a change.
So, what is the difference between changing for faith and changing for weight loss?
Xiao Jian, who was trapped in the maze of thinking, felt more and more headache the more he thought about it.
"Really?" Shao Youxian smiled at Xiao Jian who had a headache, "So the question is what you are worried about."
"I...I am a little unsure." Xiao Jian was already a little confused.
"In fact, you are worried about it...You are afraid that it will have a negative impact on your faith, and even turn a person into another person completely."
Shao Youxian said in an affirmative tone.
"...Indeed."
Xiao Jian was silent for a long time, and finally recognized this answer.
"In fact, you can relax... Changes are happening all the time. Even if someone really becomes a fanatic, how do you know that he is not happy?"
"You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"
Shao Youxian asked back.
"But..."
Before Xiao Jian could say anything, Shao Youxian sighed and said, "My Lord God, it is better for you not to dwell on these things now... Our greatest suffering is not faith, but doomsday! Let's survive first."
"As for the faith storm, if it happens, it will happen. I don't think there is anything wrong with faith in you."
Shao Youxian spread his hands.
"You have a bit too much sense of responsibility. How long have you not seen the young lady dancing? I think you need to take a break..."
"...Wait, what young lady dancing!? How did you know!?" Xiao Jian keenly noticed the key point.
"Ahem, well... I have something else to do..."
"Shao Youxian!"
Xiao Jian shouted angrily.
"... That's it, didn't the guy from Telecom fix your phone? The inventory in your phone has been transferred to the server, and the mark is [God's Selection]..."
Under Xiao Jian's pressure, Shao Youxian sold the "brother" from Telecom without hesitation.
"Fuck..."
Hard, Xiao Jian's fist hardened!
But calm down and think about it, they have transferred so many resources to him, and they also asked for his consent when copying his resources.
Only the "God's Selection" made Xiao Jian a little uncomfortable.
After all, if his resources were integrated into the "sea", it would be fine, but now they are marked...
... They are dead in an unexpected corner!
"Ah... God's Selection, fucking!"
But after Shao Youxian's reminder, Xiao Jian found that he had indeed accumulated a lot of pressure recently, and those dancing girls in his phone had indeed not been taken out for appreciation for a long time.
Maybe he was tired of it?
After all, each resource has been swiped too many times.
No, I have to ask the guy in Telecom for some resources...
"You go ahead, I'm leaving first."
Xiao Jian waved his hand and left the "confinement room".
After Xiao Jian left, Shao Youxian, who had just been sophistrying, frowned.
"Faith storm...the influence of faith...it seems that we need to set up another special topic."
"I remember that the Lord God has a believer...the one called Maggie?"
"..."
...
After "torturing" the guy in charge of Telecom, Xiao Jian left with new resources with satisfaction.
After all, many other small world fragments have been merged into Fortress Town during this period, and this kind of resources from the civilized world that everyone has in their mobile phones and computers naturally began to circulate to a certain extent.
Everyone was very satisfied with the exchange of what they had.
After leaving Telecom, Xiao Jian felt that he had nothing to do, so he went to find Zhang Weidong again and attended the merger "ceremony" with him.
After merging into the "High-rise World", Fortress Town merged several more world fragments.
Some of them are big and some are small, and there are even some residues that are completely dead but not completely "digested" by the fog.
So that the area of the fortress town is soaring at a very fast speed.
Although it is not as large as the South Five Fortress now, if the Ranch Town of N6863 is also incorporated, then at least the size of the Fortress Town can be compared with the South Five Fortress.
Now, there are countless small fans standing on the edge of the fog in the Fortress Town.
However, only one of them is working... and the speed is very slow.
This slow little fan is trying to blow away the fog, and on the opposite side of the fog, a huge shadow is gradually becoming clear.
That is another world fragment!
And judging from the dense forest and the tall defense tower in the middle of the forest, this world fragment is where the Ranch Town is.
"Too close! Reduce the wind speed by one gear!"
"It's already the lowest gear!"
"Then turn it off first!"
"Yes!"
"..."
As the last fan was turned off, the world fragment where the Ranch Town was located began to glide "inertially".
The fog between the two worlds became thinner and thinner, and the scenery on the other side became clearer and clearer.
Finally, after a slight earthquake, the fragments of the two worlds finally collided with each other.
"Success!!"
"Yahoo..."
Amid cheers, Ranch Town and Fortress Town finally joined forces in victory!
...
