Every day is one step closer to reality

"Don't think it's too expensive. When I paid for this thing, I charged more than 70,000 yuan. The fare, tolls, and maintenance fees all add up to more than 80,000 yuan."

"And when I received it, I heard from the seller that this zodiac sign was a few years old. It seems to be almost 100 years old? I have not researched this kind of coin. What I like is the design and brand of this pendant. It is expensive. It’s also the design and brand premium.”

"I see."

Of course Feng Yi knew that the most expensive thing about this kind of designer's money was the design. If you spend money on this kind of zodiac sign, it's actually not worth much money in the current market. He only liked this coin, but he could only buy the entire pendant.

"Is this going to the cashier to pay?" Feng Yi asked.

"It's not for sale. Trade with me directly. You can just transfer it to me."

After spending 200,000 yuan and getting back 80,000 yuan, Yu Qiao felt a little more balanced.

Of course, she was willing to transfer this zodiac sign pendant to Feng Yi. First, she felt that Feng Yi had extraordinary appraisal ability and was worth making friends with. Her hobby of collecting meant that whenever she received something she liked, she would have to ask Feng Yi to appraise it.

The second is that she doesn't like this zodiac money pendant that much. When I was buying them, I focused on the designer's original brand. She liked the designs of several products very much, so she kept this pendant together. Anyway, they were all unique designs, and they looked good when displayed.

However, Yu Qiao also noticed that Feng Yi had been staring at the zodiac signs on the pendant and was not interested in the pendant or the designer brand.

"Do you like this kind of coin?" Yu Qiao asked.

"I am indeed very interested in spending money on this zodiac sign." Feng Yi did not deny it.

"Then I'll help you keep an eye on it when I go out to collect the goods in the future to see if there are any more like this."

"Thank you. But I don't like spending money on every zodiac sign. It depends on your eyes."

Feng Yi really became interested in collecting zodiac signs to spend money, and he only collected those with the same origin.

Not every zodiac sign has the same origin as Feng Yi's own. Those zodiac signs that have no homologous relationship are probably just ordinary decorations and have no meaning in collecting.

Yu Qiao nodded, "I understand. Just like me, although some bags have similar styles, the details just don't look good. I won't accept them no matter how classic they are!"

Yu Qiao looked at Feng Yi as if he were looking at a fellow-traveler.

Feng Yi: "..."

It's actually not the same.

But this is not easy to explain.

After coming out of the store and before returning to Yuexiu Community, Feng Yi called the housekeeper in the car.

"I just received a zodiac coin. I think it has the same origin as the one I wear. I just sent you the photo. See if you recognize it. The pattern on the coin is the same as the one I wore. no the same."

There was not a lot of emotion in the butler's tone, "It seems that there have been such styles, most of them came from the Feng family and were made by the successors. The successors decided which style to choose and what to cast.

"Just like you, if you evolve successfully, you will also be responsible for casting zodiac signs and spending money to send blessings to the juniors."

Feng Yi was shocked, "Is there still such a mission? How to make it? What is the use of all this money?"

"This is not what you need to worry about now. Your focus now should be on the next important stage! You should be able to feel that you are about to reach that critical point."

"Is it the concept similar to 'incubation' you mentioned before?" Feng Yi asked.

"That's right. Only when you have truly passed through the initial stage and evolved to the next stage can you truly be considered a successor. Therefore, before that, don't think too much."

When talking about this, the butler's tone was rare and serious.

But Feng Yi understood what the housekeeper meant.

Even if you haven't inherited the "throne" yet, you are thinking about how to write an edict. Is this going to heaven?

If you step too far, it will easily get pulled.

But there is still a question that has been in Feng Yi's mind for a long time:

"So, why did you choose me in the first place?"

The excuse of "likable appearance" was too ridiculous. The more he experienced the important matter of evolution, the more Feng Yi understood. This could not be explained by simply saying "likeable appearance".

The butler's answer was not as perfunctory as when they first met, "Because you have the greatest chance of 'hatching'."

Having said this, the housekeeper couldn't help but chuckle, "So, don't belittle yourself, your talent and luck are both very good. After Ms. Feng, several generations of the Feng family selected them, directly, indirectly, and finally selected There is only one you.

"Of course, you can't be arrogant. There are thousands of possibilities on the road to evolution, and every stage is a big challenge. Your first key challenge is coming. Are you ready to meet it?"

Feng Yi became nervous again when the housekeeper spoke.

"Before, there was a feeling that something was about to... undergo a huge change? Anyway, it was a very strange feeling. But now I can't feel anything."

housekeeper:"……"

There was a sound of turning the pages of a book on the phone.

Feng Yi waited quietly.

After a while, the butler's tone was unusually gloomy: "It didn't say anything in the notes."

Feng Yi: "..."

The housekeeper comforted him: "Don't worry too much. No matter how hard you try to sense it, if you can't sense it, just create conditions to sense it. The more you use your sensing organs, the more sensitive they will be. And don't forget your instincts."

Feng Yi: "..."

Instinct is on the verge of running away from home again today.

But we can’t back down from evolution!

"Okay! I will take some time to sense it. If there are no conditions, I will create conditions to sense it."

Putting this heavy topic aside for now, Feng Yi still had something important to ask.

"Recently, some cygnets appeared near the house I bought in the suburbs. Two batches fell into my yard today. Why are they staring at my backyard?"

The housekeeper thought for a while and asked, "You sleep in the backyard?"

"Uh, yes, I sleep there. It's comfortable to sleep on the grass in the backyard. Does this have something to do with the swan falling there?"

"Well, for sure. Some of your energy will escape during the evolution process, and the escaped energy may induce the production of some active factors, which will have a certain impact on plants and animals. But at this stage, it does not affect plants and small animals. The impact on animals may be even greater.

"When you end the period of rapid weight gain, a lot of energy escapes and the area of ​​influence is large, so the first little swans that arrived did not land at your place. But after the influence in other places fades away, the place where you usually stay will In their eyes, it is a very clear coordinate. The active factors there are more attractive to them."

Feng Yi realized, "So, to solve this problem, I just need to change a place to sleep, and wait until all the active factors on the grass in the backyard dissipate, and that's it?"

"should be."

"How long does this have to wait?"

"I don't know. It didn't say in the notes."

"……All right."

Still have to make some modifications in the backyard.

"Oh, by the way, what if someone wants to take a sample from my backyard? Will there be a problem?"

Having participated in scientific expeditions, Feng Yi knew quite well what the research teams would do when encountering such a thing.

There are sampling points in a large area in the southern area of ​​Yue Mountain. Fengyi's backyard is now the target of many research teams, so sampling is a certainty.

The more you stop someone, the more likely you are to suspect something is wrong.

"Let them take samples and so on," the steward said.

Feng Yi was relieved. In fact, it makes sense when you think about it. His aunt had direct contact with the Federal Security Bureau back then, and she must have seen a lot of things like sampling.

Feng Yi guessed right. As soon as he returned to Yuexiu Community, he was told that a research team wanted to take samples in his backyard.

Feng Yi felt confident this time, "Yes. Has the community made a decision on how to repair my backyard?"

The community leader replied: "After our discussion, we have two options. One is to build a shelter in your backyard, and the other is to open a door directly in your backyard. Of course, the choice is up to you, after all, it is Your yard.”

Feng Yi now knew the reason why those swans fell into his yard. In contrast, he was more inclined to the latter option.

The shelter is troublesome to assemble and dismantle, and it will also affect the growth of the grass in the backyard. But it is also convenient to just open a back door and install an electronic lock that can be controlled remotely. When you no longer want that door, just block it.

After opening the backyard door, if another swan falls inside, even if he is not here, he can remotely control the door and let the rescuer go in and take the swan out.

Judging from the importance these people attached to those swans, it is estimated that someone was guarding the swans as soon as they fell. There is no need to worry about those swans ruining his grass too much.

"I choose the second option."

When Feng Yi arrived home, there were several people waiting there. The community leader introduced him: "This is Director Liu from the Rongcheng Wildlife Rescue Center. The one who is organizing the equipment over there is Professor Pan from Rongcheng University. He is their subject The leader of the group, he brought the students to Yueshan South District on the first day Little Swan landed here."

Feng Yi walked over to say hello to Director Liu and Professor Pan.

After Professor Pan got Feng Yi's permission, he excitedly took the students to the backyard to take samples.

Director Liu was very happy when he heard that Feng Yi chose the second method. He was leaning towards this method, which was to open a door directly on the wall of the backyard.

"Don't worry, we will be responsible for the construction, you don't have to bear it yourself. It will be completed within two days!"

"There is noise during construction, right? Aren't you afraid of disturbing those little swans?" Feng Yi asked.

"In fact, those little swans don't stay here all the time. They will move back and forth between the south beach of Yueshan Mountain and the section behind Yuexiu Community upstream. We will arrange some bait upstream to attract them there first. Generally speaking, we do not interfere. They won’t feed them, but there’s nothing we can do about it now. There will probably be cygnets arriving in the near future, and when the numbers increase, it will be difficult to deal with them. There may be other things going on, and I’ll be very worried.”

Director Liu looked very sad as he spoke, but he couldn't stop smiling.

Feng Yi looked at the smile on Director Liu's face and said, "There are more little swans coming here, which is a good thing for Rongcheng."

Sure enough, the smile on Director Liu's face widened and his smile folds deepened, "Of course it's a good thing! Biological species feed back the local ecological environment. The more wintering cygnets there are, the better the local ecological environment is now!"

Director Liu became very excited when talking about this, and even criticized some media for using inappropriate words.

"A cygnet is a cygnet. They only say 'swan'. Who knows what kind of swan it is? Whooper swan? Little swan? Mute swan? Or black swan? It's so misleading!"

Feng Yi: "...well, yes."

Director Liu was in high spirits: "Let me tell you, Xiaofeng, sometimes 'big' and 'small' do not refer to the adult and juvenile forms of this creature. For example, giant pandas and red pandas, these two are completely different. Species! One is the genus Giant Panda in the family Ursidae; the other is the genus Red Panda in the family Red Panda, also known as the red panda.

"Young giant pandas are called giant panda cubs, instead of just calling them red pandas.

"Of course, whooper swans and cygnets are more closely related. They are both members of the family Anatidae, subfamily Anselidae, and genus Cygnus. The swans the ancients called were high-flying birds such as geese and swans."

As soon as Director Liu mentioned Honghu, Feng Yi remembered his instinct to spread his wings on the edge of running away from home.

After thinking for a while, Feng Yi asked: "Director Liu, why do migratory birds migrate?"

"This is their instinct, and the ultimate goal is to survive."

"Then why did they confirm the migration route?" Feng Yi asked again.

"There has been debate about this, and there are various opinions, but I personally think that they have a kind of 'compass' that can guide them in the direction. You know the compass, right?"

Feng Yi nodded, "Yes, it's just like the tools those Taoist priests hold in their hands when catching monsters in TV dramas."

Director Liu: "..."

This analogy was so good that Director Liu was stunned.

"Well, a compass is the one that follows the laws of the magnetic field to guide the direction."

"Does the human body also have this kind of 'compass'?" Feng Yi asked.

"I think some people have it, and some people don't. It's like some people have a strong sense of direction, and some people are road warriors."

"Are there any road bugs among the migrating birds?"

"There must be some, but as survival evolves, some of them will be eliminated. Moreover, the migration routes of migratory birds with strong survival ability are not static. Some researchers have proven it.

"During periods of abnormal climate, the wintering grounds of some migratory birds changed complexly. In several of their main wintering grounds, unstable water levels limited the growth of their food, so their migration routes would change. Later, when the climate returned to normal, the routes The changes are even more obvious. They are moving to artificial wetlands and getting closer to humans.

"Actually, this is also a smart choice. Because of the introduction of the strictest protection laws, people will not harm them. On the contrary, if they are sick, they will treat them as soon as possible. When the weather is bad, they are short of food, and humans will also treat them as soon as possible. They provide food. So I always think that the birds that lead the migratory army are very wise and know what choices can make the group live better."

Feng Yi: "So the birds leading the team have very strong compasses?"

Director Liu: "...You can also say that."

Why is this young man's focus always on different lines?

But Feng Yi didn't feel that his focus was biased at all.

Feng Yi felt that he had grasped the key word!

Instinct also needs a ‘compass’ to guide you!

Feng Yi didn't know if his "Compass" was strong or not. He didn't even know if he had such a thing.

However, since we don’t know yet, let’s create the conditions to find out!

How to create this condition?

Feng Yi decided to take a quick trip!

So, the next day, Feng Yi stood at the door of a shop with a deep look.
