No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
Even though Luo Xiu had already conveyed the news that Ning Fan had a health problem, the people who knew about it did not show any special emotions.
Everyone does what they are supposed to do.
Wen Xiuyuan continued his previous research with Luo Lin, and has now roughly created a device that can preserve some of the miasma.
Considering that all directions are their guesses, there is bound to be a possibility of failure, so Wen Xiuyuan has not yet considered too much about the added value such as the convenience of the equipment.
If this approach is correct, other problems will be easy to solve.
At this time, Wen Xiuyuan came down just to pass on the message first, to prevent the next person from appearing who could not help but disperse the spirit servants and go to the upper city.
Obviously, his words undoubtedly gave Guan Shanyue and Lu Yuan great hope.
No matter how curious they were, they couldn't wait a little longer.
What's more, Wen Xiuyuan's "golden signboard" is so famous that these words coming from his mouth are credible enough.
Wen Xiuyuan meant to first "borrow" a few warriors whose spiritual servants were not very high.
If it can be verified on them, then the soul level of the "experimenters" will be gradually raised.
At the same time, in order to ensure safety, he has arranged a large number of medical personnel and prepared sufficient special medicines.
In order to stimulate the first group of people to participate in the experiment, Wen Xiuyuan also plans to offer certain rewards.
After arriving in the upper city, once he lost his spirit servants, he would arrange for these people to take up new jobs, and they could bring their families to enjoy the sunshine of the upper city.
To put it bluntly, there is no need to worry that the lack of a spirit servant will affect your future life.
Without the spirit attendant, we are responsible for the arrangements.
Under such temptation, naturally many people are willing to give it a try.
After all, the temptation of the upper city is there.
Most importantly, I can give my family a better life.
Previously, a large number of residents of District A had already moved into the upper city. To be honest, this made many people jealous, and they felt that District A had turned a disaster into a blessing.
You know, ordinary people wouldn't be as entangled as Guan Shanyue and Lu Yuan.
They wanted to go up, but they were not qualified.
To be precise, it is not their turn yet.
And now, it is definitely a rare opportunity for them.
Wen Xiuyuan will indeed fulfill his promise.
The construction of the upper city is currently proceeding in full swing. The first group of people from District A who went up have begun to build the city along the [Prison Gate].
At the same time, Liang Ming also transferred a lot of manpower from several surrounding cities to speed up the work.
In comparison, people in District A naturally work harder.
After all, they know that what they are building now is their own home.
The original people in the upper city were not very welcoming to the people in the lower city coming to their land.
Therefore, during the construction process, it is inevitable that they will not work hard enough.
There is no way to control this. As we have discussed before, it will take a long time for the people in the upper and lower cities to put aside their grudges and become one.
After Guan Shanyue and Lu Yuan heard Wen Xiuyuan's ideas, their eyes became bright.
Although they don't understand research, they do understand one thing.
When a technology has reached the point where "people" need to participate in experiments, it means that the general direction has basically been established.
All the anxiety in their hearts before had completely disappeared at this moment, and was replaced by strong anticipation.
While Wen Xiuyuan was re-engaging in experimental research, Gao Kexin was also busy.
She continued to discuss the boundary wall plan with Liang Ming.
On the other side of the border, signs of banding together have begun to appear.
The first cities to reach an agreement were Yulan City and Fengyang City.
Although they have not yet started to deploy too many spies on the border, they can draw conclusions through observation on such matters.
Yulan City is transporting food to Fengyang City on a large scale.
This clearly supports Fengyang City to "win the championship" in this competition.
As for how their interests will be distributed later, it is not important to Liang Ming.
The important thing is that the city lords should have seen the gap created by him and Gao Kexin. As long as they get in, the goal of the lower city will be achieved.
Moreover, the actions of these two cities seemed to serve as a reminder to other city lords, and many city lords have begun to communicate secretly following their example.
This is undoubtedly more in line with the core idea of the lower city forces.
The more they compete, the more resources they invest in the boundary wall.
At the same time, once this investment begins, there is no way to recover it.
If we look back, all our previous efforts will be wasted and all our previous investments will go down the drain.
That being the case, most people will still try to fight even if they know they may fall behind in the competition.
While all the plans in the upper city were in full swing, Ning Fan, the "King of the Lower City", disappeared from the public eye for a few days.
In a forest more than 300 kilometers southwest of Jinfeng City, Ning Fan sat quietly in the shade of the trees.
At this moment, he closed his eyes, quietly feeling the breeze that swept across his body from time to time.
It would take a little more than two days to travel from Jinfeng City to Wujian Mountain at full speed.
Before setting off, Ning Fan needed to adjust his entire condition to the extreme.
After all, the old Sword God is also a powerful man in the Eight Desolations.
In addition, the old sword god's sword strike had left a deep impression on Ning Fan.
In fact, he was not sure whether he could break the opponent's sword intent so easily if Li Tiandao had not "helped" him at that time.
The reason why he agreed to fight the old sword god was, on the one hand, because he needed some means to check and balance Li Tiandao.
On the other hand, Ning Fan also wanted to know what the result would be when he faced an opponent of the same level.
"Why bother?"
Since being exposed, Li Tiandao has stopped hiding. These days, he even takes the initiative to talk to Ning Fan: "I'll help you deal with him. Just consider it a reward for helping me realize my dream."
Until now, Li Tiandao is still hinting to Ning Fan that there is no possibility of his resurrection.
Of course, he didn't think that Ning Fan would really be fooled by him.
This is just a process of the battle between the two.
"What exactly are your strengths?"
Ning Fan didn't choose to remain silent, but instead asked, "From what I know, the Eight Desolations has already reached its peak, but you seemed to have broken through the old Sword God's sword intent with ease a few days ago."
Without waiting for Li Tiandao to answer, Ning Fan continued.
"You've always said that you see me as your hope to prove yourself, but it seems like you have a lot of hidden agendas for this so-called hope of mine."
