Chapter 10

"First Great Evolution Era?" Bu Fan repeated softly after hearing Bu Yan’s words, seemingly lost in thought.

"Exactly, the First Great Evolution Era! However, over the past three hundred years, humans have pushed their potential to the limit. The evolutionary path brought about by the changes in the environment has gradually come to an end, and the First Great Evolution Era is about to conclude!"

"On the contrary, the evolution of monsters and zombies has not stopped. In recent years, there has been an unusual surge. As time goes on, the likelihood of intelligent monsters and zombies appearing will increase, making the survival challenges for humans even more difficult!"

"Therefore, for hundreds of years, the Federation has been searching for a catalyst to trigger the second evolution of humans, hoping to counter and ultimately eliminate the threat posed by zombies and monsters!"

"Then, is 'Jianghu' the key to promoting the Second Great Evolution Era?" Bu Fan recalled what Bu Yan had told him before and boldly guessed.

Bu Yan looked at Bu Fan in surprise, suddenly puzzled by her brother's sudden intelligence.

However, becoming smarter was certainly a good thing. She nodded gently and said, "What you said isn't entirely wrong! But it's not as simple as you think. According to the information I have, 'Jianghu' and 'Sanctuary' are indeed the results of the Federation government's research. It is said that they contain the key to initiating the Second Great Evolution Era, but this is an unproven theory. I can only say that this is an opportunity for you!"

Bu Fan didn't respond but lowered his head, quietly pondering the meaning of Bu Yan's words.

In reality, compared to Bu Yan, Bu Fan, who had come from the modern world, had an advantage that no one could imagine: an extraordinary ability to speculate.

Because in the modern world, online literature is truly a realm of imagination. Whether reasonable or unreasonable, any scene that humans can imagine is covered in modern online literature.

Perhaps much of it is baseless, but it can provide a direction for thinking and speculation, as in this case.

If 'Jianghu' and 'Sanctuary' are indeed the catalysts launched by the Federation government to initiate the Second Great Evolution Era, what are these catalysts?

Moreover, they involve cultural backgrounds from ancient Eastern and Western traditions. Recalling the exam questions given by Xue Meier and Xia Xiaoxue, and considering the current state of this post-apocalyptic society, Bu Fan's mind began to continuously deduce.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Bu Fan's mind, and he thought of a miraculous possibility.

"Bu Yan, I have a question. What do you usually teach at the Federation Academy? Do you teach any specific cultivation techniques, like the internal energy techniques in martial arts novels?" Bu Fan suddenly looked up and asked softly.

Bu Yan looked at Bu Fan in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly asked this.

However, she calmly replied, "No, what you mentioned is too unrealistic. However, there are techniques derived from the breathing methods of ancient Eastern internal martial arts. These techniques not only strengthen the body but also keep the mind clear and increase the amount of special energy elements in the body!"

"You don't mean that the key to initiating the Second Great Evolution Era is the cultivation techniques from martial arts novels, do you?" Bu Yan suddenly stood up, looking at Bu Fan in shock.

"Exactly. If I'm not mistaken, the key to initiating the Second Great Evolution Era that the Federation government wants to promote is the cultivation techniques in the game!"

Bu Fan's statement wasn't baseless. First, this speculation came from the knowledge of online novels in his mind.

In many online gaming novels, the greatest achievement of such virtual games is that someone brings the abilities from the game into reality, thus causing their own evolution.

Of course, this is baseless in the modern world, but in the post-apocalyptic society Bu Fan is in, this ability is not baseless.

Virtual reality technology is well-known, and the development of the SkyNet over the past few decades shows that it is an extremely mature technology. What Bu Fan needs to consider is the current environment.

After the apocalypse, the environment has changed, and the air contains many unknown elements. These elements are rapidly promoting the evolution of Earth's creatures. In a sense, these elements are the spiritual energy from fantasy novels.

With spiritual energy, there is the capital for evolution. The next step is to find a method to use this capital, which is the traditional cultivation techniques.

Bu Fan can boldly speculate that perhaps some views from traditional culture have given the Federation government a direction for human evolution.

However, due to the differences in ancient Eastern and Western cultures, the imagined evolutionary methods in the two regions are vastly different. Therefore, the Federation government has launched two games: 'Jianghu,' based on ancient Eastern culture, and 'Sanctuary,' based on ancient Western culture.

As for why they use games to promote this, what could be easier for people to accept than games?

Moreover, if the survivors in the base city become engrossed in these two games, they can not only learn the cultivation techniques inside but also reduce their physical activity, making the base easier to manage.

Even if the Federation government adds deeper settings to the games, such as military formations and monsters, humans will be constantly training while playing the games.

Even if it's just an improvement in awareness, it will be a significant advancement for humanity as a whole.

If this is indeed the evolution plan formulated by the Federation government, Bu Fan can only say that the person who came up with this plan is a genius.

On the other side, while Bu Fan's mind was racing, Bu Yan looked at her somewhat unfamiliar brother, filled with deep confusion.

To be honest, Bu Yan had known for a long time that the key to the Second Great Evolution Era was the cultivation techniques in the games.

However, this was the result of a group of geniuses at the academy slowly deducing after analyzing countless confidential documents.

This also included some information deliberately leaked by the Federation government to prevent them from wandering aimlessly like headless flies.

Now, in just a short while, Bu Fan had deduced the true purpose behind 'Jianghu.' Could it be that her brother is a unique genius?

While Bu Yan and Bu Fan were each lost in their thoughts, a series of "knock, knock" sounds came from the door.

Bu Fan looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing at the door. Although her beauty might not match Bu Yan's extraordinary charm, the skin exposed by her clothing was mesmerizing.

"What's wrong, Hanfei? Is there something?" Bu Yan asked the woman at the door softly.

"Yes, Sister Yan, it's time for dinner. Also, Sister Yurou said that after dinner, there's a meeting, so she asked me to come down and call you up!" Ji Hanfei seemed to be uncomfortable under Bu Fan's intense gaze, her delicate face turning slightly red. After speaking, she turned and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

"Let's go. I'll introduce you to the others in the villa!" Bu Yan glanced at Bu Fan coldly and said.

Bu Fan nodded and followed Bu Yan out.
