Myriad Paths

Li Qi quickly processed the data, and then asked Jing Wuzhen to take out more backlogged data.

Processing this kind of thing is basically the same as instinct for him. He is processing countless information from Zhenzhiyun every moment and summarizing it.

Just like a human maintaining balance, it is actually quite difficult for a robot to maintain balance, or even run and jump. This requires very sophisticated algorithms, very advanced chips, and dozens of foot sensors to detect the impact of the feet. force status.

If all kinds of information from dozens of sensors are listed in a table, you will find that it is quite tedious and complex data, and may even generate hundreds of thousands of words in an hour.

However, human skin contains millions of sensory receptors. These receptors collect information from the external environment and transmit these impulses to the center. The data from these millions of receptors are processed neatly by the cerebellum, allowing people to Maintain balance with ease and manipulate thousands of muscles to perform various movements.

The data from millions of sensors can be easily processed by the human body, but humans cannot understand the dozens of sensors on the robot.

This is caused by the gap in the ability to understand data.

But in front of Li Qi, there was no such barrier.

All data is treated equally, and he can process all data easily. Zhenzhi can restore all 'data' to the most basic units, compile them in the same language, and then process them easily.

Of course, Li Qi's brainpower also played a big role in this. At least his brain was really better than Jing Wuzhen's.

In addition to these paperwork, Li Qi also rearranged the entire rescue measures, set up a series of management methods, supervision measures, placed eye spies, etc.

Eyeliner is actually of no use to Li Qi. He only needs to deduce it to know what these people are doing, but... for the people below, the fact of "knowing that someone is watching them" is all that matters. It can improve work efficiency a lot.

Various measures were arranged one by one, leaving Jing Wuzhen, who was not good at this, stunned for a moment.

She couldn't help but ask: "Li Qi, do you... often do this kind of thing?"

"I can't say it's often, I just have some experience. I have done things like civilized transformation in many worlds before. I also run a chamber of commerce outside the territory, so I have some experience." Li Qi replied.

"Foreign Chamber of Commerce... In other words, are you doing the same thing as these demons?" Jing Wuzhen was a little curious.

"How can it be the same? My Chamber of Commerce will not intrude on native civilizations, and for civilizations that have stepped outside the territory, they are lucky to encounter me, and I do business fairly." Li Qi said.

"But if you do business fairly, where do your profits come from? If you can afford to feed a fourth-grade chamber of commerce, you must be very profitable. Can you do business fairly?" Jing Wu Zhen frowned.

Doing business fairly is not the nature of these foreign chambers of commerce. In fact, their huge profits are quite scary.

"Fairness means that the harvest is worth the effort. My Chamber of Commerce pays for safety, travel costs on world-class giant ships, fast turnover of various goods, and credible guarantees. These are absolutely impossible to achieve with them."

Li Qi said casually while processing the documents: "Just talking about guarantees, it is almost impossible for two civilizations outside the territory to exchange their needs. In such a large environment outside the territory, I believe that other people's civilizations are likely to become extinct. The risks, the risks of running into each other, and the costs are all immeasurable.”

This is indeed a fact, and Jing Wuzhen can also understand this.

It is not quite right to say that there is a dark forest between extraterrestrial civilizations, but it does take a long time to establish a trusting relationship between two strange civilizations, and this running-in may even be expressed in the form of war. of.

There's nothing you can do about it. The cost of 'trusting' each other is too high. You don't even know if the civilization on the other side wants to destroy you and completely plunder all your heritage.

It is essential to be on guard against others.

However, it is different with the Chamber of Commerce.

As a middleman, the Chamber of Commerce is widely trusted. With the Chamber of Commerce, communication costs can be greatly saved, various damages caused by running-in can be eliminated, and a certain civilization may even be prevented from suffering a devastating blow.

The Chamber of Commerce takes part of the avoided damage, which saves both parties a lot of resources and benefits itself a lot.

As for other things, such as safe routes for world-class giant ships, fair trading platforms, etc., they have saved a lot of resources that would have been wasted on running in and searching.

The wastage is Li Qi's 'profit'. Even if a large amount of 'commission' is collected, for all civilized worlds, the cost is still saved a lot, and it is safer, and there is no need to worry about being cheated.

"So, what you did was a good thing? You clearly interfered with the normal operation of the outside world. According to the witchcraft, this should be regarded as interfering with nature." Jing Wuzhen agreed with Li Qi's statement, but at the same time Some suspicions arose again.

The impression Li Qi gave her was that of a typical indifferent and neutral person.

This kind of person has no concept of good or evil. Except for matters related to himself, he has a double-standard attitude towards everything else. If it involves himself, he will take action. If it does not involve himself, he will only say: "It has nothing to do with me." .

To be honest, Jing Wuzhen really hates people like Li Qi. He looks aloof and has nothing to do with himself. He sits and watches the rise and fall of all living beings and is indifferent to him.

But when the matter came to his head, he became anxious and wanted to deal with it, and he lost any of the 'neutral' indifference he had before.

But in front of him, he had just said that he was indifferent to all things that had nothing to do with him, but he suddenly said that he was actually working as a peacemaker outside the territory, mediating civilized disputes, and doing his part to create a harmonious universe...

It's completely different from what he showed.

"Nature is a state, not a specific form. As for my actions..." Li Qi stopped the document in his hand: "I really want to make the world a better place, but in essence Change, not change in form.”

"And what I think of as 'good' is really good? I'm not sure."

"Just like my plan, if the devil does not make changes, the city will not change due to the current actions, but... what you said makes sense, I am still very immature." Li Qi sighed.

He is far from being able to resolve all conflicts easily.

However, no one is born mature, so continue to hone yourself. The fourth grade sounds very strong, but in fact it is still very early.

——————————

Li Qi and Jing Wuzhen are doing something to 'treat the symptoms but not the root cause'.

The demon kings on the top floor were gathering at this moment.

There are actually not many high-level members of the Demonic Way in the world, because the base camp of the Demonic Way is not in the world. They only have some fourth-level ones left in the world as a 'stronghold' to protect their place in the world.

Therefore, these fourth-level demon kings are the highest level of the entire dream city, and they usually enjoy all the demonic thoughts brewed here.

Now everyone is gathered here. There are about ten fourth-grade people, including the three who escaped before. In other words, there are actually eleven fourth-grade people in the City of Dreams.

This number is actually quite large.

The three demon kings who were repelled by Li Qijing Wuzhen were transmitting certain information, which was the 'battle situation' between them and Li Qi.

They have been doing this for more than ten years. The ten demon kings have connected their spirits together and shared all the information about Li Qi.

For demons, this approach is rare. Although they can indeed achieve 'spiritual communion', ten people become one person and share all their cultivation and magical powers, but this comes at the cost of abandoning self-awareness. .

For the devil, this is tantamount to abandoning all defenses and completely exposing one's own foundation, which is very risky.

However... facing Li Qi's arrival, the ten demon kings still made the choice to unite without hesitation.

This is the stronghold of the devil in the world. Its fertility is quite impressive even for the fourth grade. It is also their home base. If the city of dreams is lost, it can be said that it is absolutely impossible to find this kind of place again. .

It has been more than ten years since the ten people united, and their wisdom, thinking organs, intelligence, and knowledge were all connected.

At this moment, the connection finally ended.

The ten people exited this state with a tacit understanding and then sat in a circle.

It's not quite right to say it's a circle, because this is not a 'space' in the usual sense. In fact, there is no 'matter' here. To be precise, this is a spiritual world.

In this place, there is only 'idea' without any direction. This is a zero-dimensional world. If you must say it, this place is actually an 'illusion'.

Spirits and souls are filled here, there is no material existence, and pure demonic thoughts can wander here.

It is difficult to understand what kind of existence form this is. Here... there can be a perfect 'circle' or an infinitely long 'straight line', but there is no 'space' and no dimensions.

Thoughts, emotions, personality, and will are the main contents here. This is a certain embodiment of the spiritual activities of higher wisdom.

Personality, perception, emotion, thinking, memory, behavior, personality, and inner spiritual phenomena are the main theme here.

It is very safe here. Normally, only spiritual and demonic realms will appear in this purely spiritual world. Occasionally, some spiritual world travelers will appear in this place, but usually they are just snacks from the demonic realm.

Mortals from outside the territory sneak into this spiritual world through some adventures or exercises, rituals, etc., and want to accomplish certain things, such as visiting some non-hostile spiritual paths to seek answers, and then being eaten by the wandering demons, directly Becoming a lunatic or a vegetative state is something that often happens here.

For mortals, this is a thrilling dream adventure, as terrifying as diving into a dreamland, but for demons... they are the indigenous people here, coveted beasts that wander in the mind and spirit, You can always smell the fresh spirit that strayed into this dark ocean.

However, for the fourth-level demon kings, they are giant monsters entrenched here, hidden shadows that can shake the infinite world at the touch of a finger, so they will not filter feed on small bugs every day.

They came here just to be prepared for Li Qi's divination.

Yes, the hidden shadow that can shake the infinite world at the touch of a finger is hidden carefully, for fear of being caught by Li Qi.

"All the deductions have been completed."

"All the information has been compiled."

"Our intelligence has reached its limits."

The ten Demon Lords spoke in unison, with ten thoughts intertwined: "Then, these are the only two ways to defeat Li Qi, right?"

"With our strength, there are only two paths we can take, and the success rate is not high, and both of them involve Li Shiwei, and Li Shiwei is under the protection of the Demon Prince."

"What to do?"

The thoughts of the ten people were intertwined, and various ideas were transmitted like electricity. Finally, they finalized a plan.

"As long as it gets the approval of the Demon Prince, this plan will have the highest success rate. It has almost a 60% winning rate against Li Qi, which can be said to be an advantage."

"Then, let's do it."

The thoughts of ten people came out at the same time, and the ten spirits immediately separated, left here in an instant, and disappeared into different places.

One of the Demon Lords was also from the lineage of Heavenly Demons. He crossed an endless distance and appeared on the Demon Prince's flying boat almost immediately.

On the flying boat, the Demon Prince was still doing his own special training, and beside him, Li Shiwei was also doing her daily practice.

This demon king did not conceal his arrival, so the moment he arrived, the demon prince had already stopped what he was doing and looked at the other party.

The Demon Prince's mask has not changed, but it seems that his expression can be seen from the unchanged mask.

You can feel that he is a little confused and a little unhappy at the same time.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you, Your Highness." He was obviously a fourth-grade demon king, but in front of a fifth-grade demon prince, he chose to salute sincerely, and he didn't seem to be forced at all.

It can be seen that the demon king in front of him really respects the demon prince.

For the Demonic Path, this is an extremely rare situation. Not to mention the huge gap between the fourth and fifth grades, the Demonic Path itself is actually lawless.

High quality versus low quality, still the devil's way, this kind of respect is simply incredible.

However, the Demon Prince seems to be accustomed to this kind of respect.

Li Shiwei also looked over, but she didn't speak. Instead, she shrank down to make her presence even lower.

"You came to me without notifying me in advance... It's obvious that it's a very urgent matter. Tell me, what." The Demon Prince turned around and looked at the Demon Lord.

"It's about Li Qi." Heavenly Demon Lord said.
