Congleton is a city that fully embodies the charm of magic. You can find traces of magic even in the most inconspicuous corners.

Gu Shi was deeply attracted by the city and wandered around aimlessly. When he came to his senses, he had unknowingly walked into a bustling market. The stalls around him were filled with all kinds of strange goods.

Gu Shi was attracted by these things and started to walk around here.

From what the vendors said, he guessed that this seemed to be a temporary adventurer's market. Recently, a small ruin appeared around Congleton, and many adventurers came here after hearing the news. What they were selling now were the spoils obtained in the ruins.

Gu Shi's gaze passed over the stalls one after another and finally stopped at one of them. He could feel that something in that stall was attracting him.

Gu Shi walked over quickly and squatted in front of the stall.

This is a stall that specializes in selling magic plants.

Magic plants are a general term for all plants that possess magical powers. Like professionals, magic plants are also divided into levels one to nine according to the amount of magic power they contain.

Magic potions are made using magic plants through special techniques.

Several different kinds of magical plants are neatly arranged on this small stall.

Gu Shi's attention was not on these magical plants, but on a small bag of seeds next to it.

The stall owner, who was just happy about closing a big deal, saw him staring at the seeds intently and said, "Hey, little brother, do you want these seeds?"

Gu Shi looked at the female stall owner and nodded.

Seeing his expression, the female stall owner couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Sister, I'm happy today. These seeds will only cost you 10 silver. There are quite a few third-level Mingxin grass seeds in them. If you can grow one, you will make a lot of money."

The main use of Mingxin Grass is detoxification. As one of the main materials for antidotes, it is also very popular in the market. Usually, the price of a third-level Mingxin Grass is more than 1 gold.

However, the seeds of the third-level Mingxin grass do not necessarily produce the third-level Mingxin grass.

Although the seeds of high-level magic plants can easily produce high-level crops, the probability of this happening is very small. Generally speaking, the level of plants will fluctuate depending on the planting environment, methods, and other conditions.

Even so, the price of this bag of seeds is far more than 10 silver, and it contains not only Mingxin grass seeds, but also many other seeds collected by the female stall owner.

Although Gu Shi didn't know the actual price of these seeds, he had already made up his mind to buy them. He handed the money to the female stall owner and said happily, "Thank you, sister."

Hearing his words, the female stall owner laughed even more happily. She took the money, tied up the cloth bag neatly and threw it into Gu Shi's arms.

After getting what he wanted, Gu Shi no longer had the mood to continue shopping at the market. He took the seeds and went straight back to the hotel.

In the room, Ye Yuan came back with a small cloth bag and asked curiously, "What did you buy?"

"Some seeds. I'm quite interested in this and want to try growing some." Gu Shi opened the bag and showed it to him.

Ye Yuan gave Gu Shi a thumbs up. After all, he was the kind of person in whose hands no plant could survive for more than a month.

After Gu Shi closed the bag, he put it into his cloth bag. It was not appropriate to search for the seed that attracted him now.

In the evening, Wang Feng announced a good news to them. He had finally found a suitable place, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to settle it tomorrow.

Everyone was very happy. Although the hotel was good, it was still a little cramped and not as comfortable as having one's own place. Although they could be said to have the whole place to themselves, they still had to consider the waiter when discussing certain topics.

Everything went smoothly the next day. After signing the contract, Wang Feng took them to move to another location.

The manor he bought was the ancestral property of a declining nobleman, located on the outskirts of Congleton. The nobleman decided to go to the capital to fight for his fortune, so he sold the manor to raise funds.

This manor covers a large area, nearly 2,000 acres. Due to lack of funds for maintenance, most of the area has been abandoned. The main part is a four-story Western-style building. From the outside, it looks like a nice house, but...

"Why is it so empty in there?" someone couldn't help but ask as soon as they entered the hall.

Unlike the elegant exterior of the building, the interior was bare and the entire room looked as if it had been ransacked.

Wang Feng explained, "The original owner of the house sold everything in it to raise money. That's why the place is much cheaper. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to afford it."

"Is everyone here? I'll start when they are."

Gu Shi only saw Wang Feng's hand tap twice in the air, and then he felt a force gently sweeping over them.

"Okay, now everyone just needs to silently say 'No. 1 Base' three times in their minds, and you will see a door. Walk in and you will find our base." Wang Feng said.

Gu Shi tried it, and sure enough, a door surrounded by white mist appeared in front of him.

Wang Feng continued to explain to them: "As long as you are within the scope of this manor, you can shout out 'door'. If you want to come out, just say 'leave' three times silently. You will come out at the same place you entered.

Leave two people here to guard, and the rest of you will follow me into the garrison."

Following Wang Feng's order, Gu Shi walked into the door. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at a bare open space, with people constantly walking out of the door around him.

It seems that the 'door' in the base is visible, Gu Shi thought so. Just now in the manor, he could not see the door summoned by others, but now he can see it.

The size of the settlement in front of him was the same as the manor outside, which was one of the reasons why Wang Feng was trying so hard to find a house.

After arriving at the base, Wang Feng immediately checked the updated upgrade tasks. This was one of the things he cared about most. Being able to teleport between the school and Base No. 1 meant that they could travel quickly between Wayo City and Congleton.

Compared to Congleton, Wayo City is just a small place, and many resources are too scarce.

Wang Feng opened the system page and found that the upgrade requirements were a series of infrastructure tasks. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the conditions weren't too harsh. Besides, they were planning to build a base anyway, so it was like killing two birds with one stone.

He contacted the school to inform them of their current situation, and then asked the school to send over the supplies that had been prepared previously.

Soon the originally open space was filled with packages.

Next, Wang Feng distributed supplies to them and marked out a piece of open space for them to set up tents. These tents would serve as their rooms until the construction of the base was completed.

He then assigned tasks to everyone, and the entire station suddenly became bustling with activity. Gu Shi and his companions were given a thick dictionary, and their task was to continue studying. The professor who taught them the common language also gave them homework.

Gu Shi took the dictionary and went into his tent, intending to pack his things.
