Chapter 1 As a Seventh-Order Starry Sky Life

As a seventh-order starry sky life, Xu Jingming's learning ability was terrifying. He flipped through the books in his hand, and as he flipped through them, his eyes scanned and completely memorized them, and he thought about every sentence he saw many times.

In just five minutes, he had finished reading three books and had already gained a lot.

"The higher the level of life, the more amazing the learning ability." Sitting next to him, Pang Ze sighed, "It's enviable to see."

"So those scholars with more than level 1 education are already extremely talented, and then they are promoted to Origin Life! The Origin Life's brainpower combined with scientific knowledge means that one person's scientific research ability can surpass that of a primitive civilization many times over. Each of them is an invaluable treasure to the cosmic human race," Xu Jingming said.

Pang Ze nodded, "That's too far away from us. Let's go, I'll take you to the virtual world."

Soon, he opened a virtual world called "Apprentice World."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two of them entered the Apprentice World.

"Apprentice World is a very famous virtual world." Walking on the wide street, Pang Ze said, "Among the education-related worlds, its popularity ranks in the top ten. It's most suitable for novices like you."

"Indeed, I'm a novice." Xu Jingming laughed, "I haven't even taken an education exam."

"I've bought you a course." Pang Ze opened his personal panel and quickly purchased a course. "Countless cosmic citizens also encounter various life dilemmas. So how to deal with 'life dilemmas' is a very popular course. The course I bought is taught by artificial intelligence! The teaching quality is recognized."

Xu Jingming nodded.

In the virtual world network, there are many "virtual worlds" for learning. Which virtual world to go to? What kind of course to choose? What kind of teacher?

With Pang Ze, a person who was almost at full level in "humanities," to guide him, Xu Jingming could learn the knowledge he wanted in the most efficient way.

"Hello, I am your teacher for the 'Solving Life Dilemmas' course!" A beautiful woman with crystal-clear skin and a red crystal between her eyebrows said with a smile, "In the following time, I will conduct one-on-one teaching."

Xu Jingming nodded.

The two sat on the grass.

The intelligent woman said, "As a cosmic citizen, you will encounter various dilemmas in your tens of thousands of years of life! How to solve dilemmas is a very important topic."

"If you want to have a strong ability to solve life dilemmas, first of all, you must have very strong logical thinking ability," the intelligent woman said.

"Logical thinking ability?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

"You need to analyze your dilemma, what factors caused it! Then think about what conditions can be used, what conditions can be created, and finally solve the dilemma," the intelligent woman said, "This all requires logical thinking ability."

"So this course requires you to have a foundation in science," the intelligent woman said, "Given that you are a seventh-order starry sky life and have no education for the time being, I think we can use six days to study science."

"Oh." Xu Jingming felt complicated.

He didn't expect that the first step in learning a humanities course to solve life dilemmas was to study science.

In the earliest days of mankind, because there was a need to count, there were numbers!

So Xu Jingming began to study science, and the intelligent teacher also provided Xu Jingming with the books to study.

"I want to solve a hundred kinds of life dilemmas, but I have to learn mathematics first." Xu Jingming sat on the sofa in his personal space, flipping through the textbook.

Based on numbers, there were concepts such as integers, decimals, fractions, and so on.

And there were also different ways of summarizing numbers, such as prime numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, and so on.

"Whirr! Whirr! Whirr!"

Xu Jingming flipped through the basic mathematics textbook. With the learning speed of a seventh-order starry sky life, he kept flipping through the book, his eyes scanned and memorized everything, and he calculated it thousands of times in his mind.

Number theory, algebra, basic geometry, high-dimensional space geometry...

This textbook focused on "geometry."

"High-dimensional space geometry looks very difficult." Xu Jingming had books stacked around him, and he finally stopped studying mathematics. "According to the requirements, I only need to finish studying basic geometry. I've even studied half of high-dimensional space geometry." Xu Jingming looked up at the time, "I spent more than three days studying mathematics?"

Of course, the learning of a seventh-order starry sky life for more than three days was more than a planetary life could learn in three years, and he learned it more deeply.

Xu Jingming looked around.

"Sofa, chair, weapons..." Xu Jingming's eyes swept across, and all kinds of items contained geometry, and could be expressed by functions.

The length, model, and curve of the sofa he was sitting on... Solid patterns immediately appeared in Xu Jingming's mind, and there were also functions to accurately express these models.

"There's also physics." Xu Jingming began to study physics.

Force, motion, energy, rigid bodies, waves, gases, thermodynamics, vacuum, electricity, magnetism, light, mass-energy, space tunnels, multidimensional space, space-time field, space-time wells...

When he learned about the knowledge of space tunnels "wormholes," Xu Jingming became more and more strenuous, and he might have to think about a page of paper for an hour.

"Let's stop here."

Xu Jingming looked at the time, "I spent a total of seven days studying science. That's one day more than the intelligent teacher required! I've also studied it more deeply."

"I'll also study information science. This can also enhance logical thinking ability." Xu Jingming was a little fascinated by learning. After all, he studied physics in college and was quite interested in science.

He spent another two days studying information science.

"With a sufficiently strong logical thinking ability, you can start the next humanities study. Let's first look at how others solve life dilemmas from individual life stories." The intelligent teacher began to teach.

Teaching step by step!

As a seventh-order starry sky life, Xu Jingming also learned quickly.

After another nine days, Xu Jingming had completely finished the entire course.

"You have already completed the entire course. If you have any doubts about the course, you can come to me again." The intelligent female teacher smiled, "If you are very satisfied with the course, please give it a full score."

The higher the rating, the more people will buy the course.

"Okay." Xu Jingming nodded.

The course recommended by Mr. Pang was indeed of good quality, and Xu Jingming gave it a full score on the spot.

"Thank you for your good review." The female teacher bowed to thank him, and then dissipated and left.

Xu Jingming stood on the grass, looking around, feeling very good: "It feels really completely different."

After finishing the study, his understanding of his own life and of the situation of the entire Blue Star civilization became much clearer.

"The so-called ability to predict and calculate, and to win a thousand miles away... is actually a kind of reasoning." Xu Jingming understood, "Those top strategists have a very clear understanding of the entire world and of the many forces and groups, and understand the various relationships and entanglements. They can deduce the answer based on various elements!" Just like a rich second generation who is a degenerate gambler, and the casino boss he goes to has black methods, it is easy to deduce that the rich second generation is likely to go bankrupt.

Of course, this can only be regarded as addition and subtraction difficulty.

The war between countries! The difficulty is tens of thousands of times higher.

It is necessary to consider the entire world situation, relationship entanglements, various military capabilities, the combat style of army commanders, weather environment, food supply, morale, command ability... The comprehensive reasoning of a large number of factors will make some people military gods, who can win more with less and win every battle! And some people are fools, leading troops is sending them to their deaths!

"I'm still far from Mr. Pang, but now... I can barely be considered to have self-awareness." Xu Jingming said silently.

To solve a life dilemma, one must first "know oneself."

He has now reached this step.

"Go take an education exam." Xu Jingming wanted to test his own limits.

Six hours later, the results came out.

Humanities: 320 points.

Science: 1020 points.

Education: Level 33

"Education level 33?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly, "I didn't take the time-consuming practical exam. If I took the practical exam, I should be able to get a few hundred more points, and I estimate I could be one or two levels higher."

The higher the education level, the higher the point requirements.

For example, education level 10 only requires 100 points.

Education level 20 is 300 points.

Education level 30 is 1000 points.

Education level 40 is 3000 points.

Education level 50 is 10,000 points.

Whether it is humanities or science, it is easier to learn in the early stages, and the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.

The maximum full score for the highest level (60) in humanities is only 30,000 points!

And the requirement for education level 100 is 3 million points! From this, it can be seen that... if you want to become an outstanding scholar, you must take the path of science.

"The higher the level of life, the stronger the brain's thinking ability! For example, my brain's thinking ability as a seventh-order starry sky life is ten times faster than when I was at the sixth order, and I can think more deeply," Xu Jingming thought to himself,

"It's countless times stronger than a planetary life." "I studied for a little more than eighteen days, which is more efficient than a planetary life studying for a lifetime." Xu Jingming exclaimed.

This is the difference in the level of life.

"I heard that eighth-order starry sky lives, as long as they put their heart into it, can generally reach education level 50." Xu Jingming thought to himself, the scientific research talent of eighth-order starry sky lives may not be high, but with their terrifying brainpower, they can relatively easily reach education level 50. Of course, the most valued "education level 100" of the entire cosmic human race cannot be achieved by brainpower alone, but also requires incredibly amazing scientific talent!

"I can explore the sixth planet again." After nearly 19 days of study, Xu Jingming felt the transformation in himself, and his thinking methods and logical thinking ability had been greatly improved.

Mysterious Land, Sixth Planet.

Xu Jingming appeared at the foot of the black pyramid, looking up at the towering pyramid: "Let's begin!"

With a leap, Xu Jingming came to the first step.

The scene in front of him changed.

Blue Star, office building, in front of a desk.

Xu Jingming sat there, looking at the computer in front of him.

"Zhang Lei's dilemma..." Xu Jingming felt the memory that was being transmitted again, which had given Xu Jingming a headache before.

But now, everything was as clear as peeling silk from a cocoon.

"Zhang Lei's dilemma, bank wealth management explosion, mortgage, surgery fees, unemployment... In fact, all these dilemmas are the same dilemma: money!" Xu Jingming thought to himself, "A stable social order, merely the dilemma of money, is not difficult for me, an explorer."

When a poor couple are burdened with debt, everything they do ends in sorrow.

Zhang Lei and his wife had a good relationship, but because of the wealth management explosion, all their savings were gone! He also lost his job, and the monthly loans and hospital expenses plunged the family into collapse.

"Let's begin."

Xu Jingming opened the computer browser and went directly to a niche forum.

Soon, he made contact with the other party.

As a 35-year-old programmer, Zhang Lei's programming ability was still good, and he occasionally took "outsourcing" jobs in the forum.

"I'll take this job." Xu Jingming scanned the forum and took a big job.

"Octopus, are you sure you can handle it?" The other party couldn't believe it. After all, Zhang Lei was an old user of the forum, and they hadn't heard that he had such strong strength.

"I'll give you the results in three days," Xu Jingming replied.

"Tsk tsk, you're quite confident! Okay, I'll see your results then."

He hadn't told his family about the bank wealth management explosion yet.

In three days, Xu Jingming completed the outsourcing! After the other party ran it and confirmed it, they paid a fee of 30,000 yuan!

In half a month, Xu Jingming, who had lost his job, had completed several highly difficult outsourcing jobs in a row, and was recognized in the forum as a "god-level" programmer. The programmer's circle was very large, but also very small! Because there were not many "god-level programmers."

After his reputation was high enough, he was invited to help successfully solve a difficult problem for a large company, and received a reward of ten million! Moreover, the large company invited him to join with a high annual salary plus equity incentives!

"In addition to the 15 million annual salary, we have also set up bonus incentives and equity incentives. We are sincerely inviting Mr. Zhang Lei. Today, our major shareholders have personally come to visit, which also shows that we value Mr. Zhang Lei's ability and believe that Mr. Zhang Lei will definitely lead our company to the next level!" The company's chairman, president, and major shareholders personally came to invite him.

Zhang Lei's wife looked at this scene in disbelief. Was her husband so awesome?

Xu Jingming looked at this scene.

"The first level of the life illusion has been passed." Xu Jingming looked at himself still standing on the first level of the black pyramid and understood everything. "The first life illusion is not difficult. You only need to find the 'key' to the dilemma and then solve it. For us explorers, with a strong information science ability, it can be easily solved." Xu Jingming nodded, "However, if it was Zhang Lei himself, with his ordinary programming ability, it would be difficult to solve the dilemma."

It was almost impossible for an ordinary person in all aspects to fall into such a dilemma and earn ten million.

It was considered low difficulty only when an explorer was sent.

"Zhang Lei himself can only reduce all aspects of expenses, and even reduce the tuition fees for his children. And he has to find a way to improve his personal ability. If his ability is strong, he can naturally find a good job in the programmer circle where technology speaks." Xu Jingming thought to himself. In a peaceful and stable world, strong technology is strength.

If you are weak, you can only drift with the tide.

If you are strong, big storms are just a breeze.

Xu Jingming leaped and went to the second level of the black pyramid.

The scene in front of him changed, and it was still Blue Star!

It was Blue Star in an earlier era, the era of war.

In a forest, fifteen wolf-fox soldiers leaned against the tree trunks, drinking water and eating dry food, each of them in a daze. Xu Jingming was also one of them. "This gun?"

Xu Jingming noticed the rifle he had placed at his feet, as well as the bullets he was carrying on his back.

This kind of backward rifle was also a product of Blue Star more than a hundred years ago.

"It's over, it's all over." A soldier showed a desperate look.

"The enemy is chasing us and may find us at any time. Why don't we escape separately? Maybe one or two of us can escape." A soldier whispered. Xu Jingming sat there, receiving the memories.

The world was in chaos, with warlords fighting each other. As a small soldier under Commander Sun, Commander Sun was defeated, and these dozen or so remnants escaped into the forest. There were still a large number of enemies outside.

A virtual text appeared in front of Xu Jingming. The second level of life dilemma, the solution requirement: escape the pursuit, establish your own army within one year, and capture Wufang City. (Limited power and speed上限)

Xu Jingming thought slightly.

"Escape separately?" Xu Jingming immediately got up and looked at the surrounding soldiers, "Maybe none of us will escape! If we just die like this, can you accept it?"

"Then what can we do? There are only a few of us." A soldier retorted.

Xu Jingming said, "The Western Fan Army has been fighting us for so many years, and there is a blood feud. Commander Pan of the Western Fan Army's son died on the battlefield."

"The brothers who surrendered before were all shot! Commander Pan is furious and doesn't accept surrenders. He wants to kill them all. Now he's chasing us."

"We can't live." Someone said in a low voice.

Everyone had long lost their morale.

"Then let's all treat ourselves as dead people." Xu Jingming's eyes turned red and said, "We are all dead people, let's find a way to fight! It's worth it to kill a few! If we are lucky enough to escape, that's a big profit."

"To be honest." Xu Jingming's eyes were full of expectation, "I still want to return to my hometown of Wuan! To see my old mother again."

"I also want to go back and see my son. My son should be three years old this year." A soldier said in a low voice, tears streaming down his face.

"I also want to go back. Xiao Cui said she would always wait for me to go back, but I can't go back, I can't go back!" A soldier cried in pain. Xu Jingming looked at these soldiers, "If you give up, there is no hope at all. Let's fight, maybe we can really return to Wuan!"

Each soldier looked at Xu Jingming.

"Return to Wuan." Xu Jingming said, "Return to our hometown."

"Let's fight again." A soldier held his gun.

"If we don't fight, we will die, let's fight."

Each soldier gritted their teeth.

Xu Jingming first united this group of people, and then, on the one hand, he combined more scattered soldiers to strengthen his own strength. On the other hand, he explored the surrounding area, swallowed up small groups of enemies! And avoided large groups of enemies!

Although Xu Jingming limited the power and speed上限, but with his strong consciousness to control the gun in his hand, he also became a sharpshooter.

Strengthen ourselves, unite ourselves! Avoid the real and attack the empty!

Xu Jingming didn't entangle with the Western Fan Army! After escaping the pursuit range, he went all the way to the direction of Wuan, and also tried to absorb power along the way! In troubled times, there were still many people who wanted to be soldiers to get a full meal.

After eight months, Xu Jingming took the original Commander Sun's team as the foundation, gathered the remnants, recruited new people, and pulled out a team of 30,000 people. Finally, with the cooperation of the people from Wuan, he entered Wuan City overnight without bloodshed, and completely occupied Wuan City overnight. When the dignitaries in Wuan City came to visit Xu Jingming, this new warlord, the illusion dissipated.

"I have passed the second layer of illusion." Xu Jingming also rested, more than eight months in the illusion, and in reality, it was also most of the day.

In the illusion, he plotted against each other, squeezed out some threatening people, united those who could be won over, and increased his influence among ordinary soldiers to ensure that the army was under his control.

For the army to travel to Wuan, the food supply along the way, the preparation of military expenses, and the defense against other forces on the path, these required a lot of thought.

"It's much more difficult than the first layer of illusion." Xu Jingming thought to himself.

Whoosh

He leaped and came to the third step of the black pyramid.

The scene changed, and it was the feudal dynasty period of Blue Star.

In the freezing cold weather, a small beggar huddled in the corner, with a broken bowl in front of him. When he saw people who were well-dressed, he kowtowed: "Kind masters and ladies, please be kind and give me some food."

Suddenly, the little beggar was slightly stunned.

"Became a beggar?" Xu Jingming trembled, "It's so cold, so hungry."

Memories also appeared in his mind.

In the late Ming Dynasty, there was a great famine, and people were living in poverty. There were many rebellions. Li Ergou fled to Yucheng.

In the freezing cold weather, he only had ragged clothes on his body. Under the hunger and cold, if there were no changes, he would probably be frozen to death tonight. Xu Jingming saw the virtual text appearing in front of him. The third layer of life dilemma: within one year, arrive alive in the capital. (Limited power and speed上限)

"From Yucheng to the northern capital? And in a time of war? And with the body of a little beggar?" Xu Jingming could feel that even if he tried to mobilize his body, the power and speed were weaker than ordinary people.

"Survival in troubled times?" Xu Jingming realized that this was not easy. Rebels, bandits, fleeing people, all kinds of dangers, and even the weather environment, illnesses, etc., could take his life.

Layer after layer of illusion.

This was also a kind of practice, and gradually, he became more and more proficient in facing various situations.

But there were still accidents and failures.

"It's really difficult." Xu Jingming looked around.

The ninety-ninth layer of illusion was the primitive period of Blue Star.

People had to find a way to survive. The weather suddenly cooled down, the river water froze, countless plants froze to death, food was scarce, and Xu Jingming led the tribe to migrate in search of water sources and a way to survive. It was really difficult.

In one year, only 36 of the tribe's original 132 people survived, and they were still migrating.

"It's not easy." "I succeeded." Xu Jingming watched the illusion disappear. "As long as more than 30 tribe members are alive after one year, it will be considered a success. But it's really not easy." In order to migrate and survive, Xu Jingming racked his brains.

The one-hundredth layer of life dilemma: Star pirates arrive and massacre the Blue Star civilization! Please survive the massacre and complete the revenge within one year. (Possess the body in reality)

This layer of illusion was the only future-type illusion!

When the terrifying star pirates appeared! The power of the star pirates exceeded the limit that the Blue Star civilization could resist.

The star pirates wantonly slaughtered, leaving no one alive!

Countless people in the entire civilization died. Even though Xu Jingming possessed the body of a seventh-order starry sky life and possessed Blue Star's many high-tech weapons and equipment, he still felt despair.

In the end, Xu Jingming tried a full eight times for the final one-hundredth layer of illusion, and succeeded on the eighth time.

"Congratulations on passing a hundred kinds of life dilemmas. However, reality is unknown, and there is no chance to start over. Therefore, the best way to solve life dilemmas is not to let yourself fall into dilemmas." A voice echoed in his mind, and the final illusion dissipated. Xu Jingming looked up. Then, with one step, he leaped up.

Xu Jingming stood on the top of the black pyramid, looking at the miniature wormhole at the top of the tower, but he was calm.

A hundred kinds of life dilemmas, more than a hundred days had passed in reality, and the time experienced in the illusion had exceeded a century. During this century, he had been an ordinary programmer, a small soldier in troubled times, a beggar,

A bodyguard, an assassin, a shopkeeper, a fortune teller, a leper, a blind man, a terminally ill old man with only one year to live, a hostage, the ruler of a small country, a powerful general who dominated the court, a tribal leader, primitive and different characters from different periods, and different life dilemmas.

If the more than eighteen days of study before were the accumulation of knowledge and the improvement of logical thinking, then the "more than a hundred years" of a hundred kinds of life dilemmas were a spiritual baptism for Xu Jingming!

This baptism transformed Xu Jingming!

Even those starry sky lives who have lived for thousands of years have mostly not experienced the complexity and hardship of a hundred kinds of life dilemmas.

"These seven planets of the mysterious land, perhaps the greatest help to me is not being recruited by a certain force, but the trials in this process." Xu Jingming said silently, the more trials he went through, the greater his gains.

The neutron star's trial allowed him to comprehend the Flowing Light Spear Technique.

The hundred kinds of life trials were even more of a spiritual baptism.

"Seventh planet." Xu Jingming looked at the miniature wormhole in front of him.

At this moment, in the observation space.

Whether it was the 352 regional forces in the lower layer or the seventeen top forces in the upper layer, they were all looking at Xu Jingming!
