This world, shadows quietly enveloped it, and unseen horrors spread among the populace.
The world seemed to be falling into an abyss.
Fang You, who could only stay home to survive, obta...
There is no town in Spark Town.
When the White Shark-class airship slowly descended, the cabin door opened, and the passengers walked out one after another, they saw a beautiful scene with a primitive style.
The water is beautiful, the mountains are clear, the weather is sunny and the warm breeze is blowing.
The air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, and occasionally you can hear the chirping of birds - there are small animals in the oasis, but they are very rare, depending on each oasis.
The initial environment of Spark Oasis is obviously quite good.
The people who set foot on this land seemed to be more energetic. If there was no town, they would build one from scratch with their own hands.
Soon, under the leadership of the supervisors of each team, the workers quickly started working.
Everyone performs their duties and works together.
Some carried and unloaded supplies; some explored the surrounding environment, drew maps, and set up road signs; some patrolled to ensure safety; some were responsible for medical care; and some began to prepare ingredients for cooking...
When the first batch of containers were opened and cubic black boxes were brought out one by one, a regular worker from the forging department who was also an airship gunner came over and activated the boxes one by one.
...
...
Suddenly, there was a flash of red light, accompanied by a clicking sound, and these black boxes actually stretched out their legs. Then, after a series of changes, they turned into a huge robot three or four meters tall.
——Build a Type 2 puppet!
A functional puppet of green grade.
Although the "ancient engineer puppet" of the Kandra Empire has not yet been replicated and has some shortcomings in intelligence and flexibility, the Type 2 construction puppet also has many advantages.
It is powerful and relatively inexpensive.
As for the lack of flexibility, there are still so many workers now, otherwise why would we select so many brick-moving workers in the first batch?
Teacher Fang thought it was great.
Three hundred construction puppets were quickly put in place and began a vigorous construction project, with some powerful ones using their abilities to level the land, blast mountains and crush rocks, etc., making many ordinary people exclaim "Wow, so cool!"
Times have changed!
The speed of infrastructure construction today is more than ten times faster than before.
Of course, even if it were ten times faster, it would still be impossible to build a residential area today - at least it would be impossible to build a community that could accommodate 3,000 people.
As he promised, the living conditions in the oasis will be better than those in the base city, and he will not build eight- or ten-person rooms to cram all the pioneers in.
There is no need for temporary.
Fang You prepared to do it in one step and then use mysterious means to remove the formaldehyde.
The accommodation problem during this period is not difficult to solve. The White Shark-class airship will dock at the oasis for a period of time. Workers will rush to build the ship during the day and return to the airship cabin to rest at night.
Quite perfect.
Make full use of the airship.
Time flies, and with the hard work of all the oasis residents and puppets, Spark Town has begun to take shape. At the same time, as the oasis has gained considerable popularity and the power of the secret realm has been nurtured, the accumulation of Spark Oasis has also begun to increase slowly.
89.2%…89.6%…89.9%…
The three resource points have also been officially upgraded.
Master Wang Chui was squatting on the Mingliu crystal mine, picking up a piece of raw ore and looking at it in the sunlight.
"Well, did you see anything?"
Ripples appeared in the space. After a few seconds, a hand stretched out from it, as if trying to push it a few times. Then Fang You walked out of the ripples and stepped onto the land of the oasis.
The one who came was his real self, not the incarnation of the small Huanhao he was riding.
Thanks to the fact that the oasis has been incorporated into the base system, the secret passage cannot be connected here in a short time, but he can still explore it by himself.
Well, you can go back.
After confirming that there was no problem going back and forth, Fang You checked the three upgraded resource points.
With a sweep of his divine sense, he confirmed the reserves of Mingliu crystal ore, which had increased from the previous 5 to the current 17, more than three times. This was a very, very small mine, which could be fully mined with a little mining, but even if it was fully mined, new ones would still grow after a while.
One crop after another, endlessly harvested.
Mingliu crystal ore is of high grade but small reserves.
The size of the Vitality Spring has also increased significantly, and the small pool that stores spring water has also increased. It is made of smooth large stones and seems to be naturally formed, but also seems to have traces of human intervention.
But it was expanding little by little right under Fang You's nose.
The biggest change was in the golden iron wood forest. Originally, the forest area was about six or seven acres. During the ten-day upgrade process, new golden iron trees were visibly growing outside the forest, one after another. In the blink of an eye, the forest area expanded to twenty-four acres, and the branches were so thick that people couldn't help but chop them down with an axe.
"The trunk of the golden ironwood tree is very hard. The logging work requires a strong man with a physique of at least 1.8 meters holding a sharp axe. However... this also provides a lot of jobs."
After the upgrade, the output of resource points increased greatly, and this is only the second level. Fang You understood more clearly the saying that "the big oasis is the orthodox way."
In contrast, the wild is not only dangerous, but many treasures are also well hidden, and may not be discovered even if you pass by.
How can one be happier than having a mine at home?
Of course, the fact that treasures are hard to find in the wild does not exist within the Xinhuo organization. The "Exploration Radar" can provide accurate navigation for every Xinhuo official.
Treasure hunting in the wild and production in the oasis, Teacher Fang has to grab both and make money from both.
"However, the output of level 2 resource points is quite a lot, so what about level 3, 4, 5, and 6? If we extend the time scale, it will be even more incredible. It seems that these large oases are very rich."
Teacher Fang felt heartbroken when he thought that they were rich while his family was still poor.
He selectively ignored the fact that exploration teams were picking up money in the shallow layers.
Looking back at these three renewable resources, Fang You already had an idea of how to utilize the gold iron wood and vitality spring water. However, this 'Ming Liu Jing' is not only of a high grade, but also very rare. Fang You is not sure how to use it specifically.
Master Wang looked at it for a while. He peeled off the mineral layer on the outside of the crystal like peeling an onion, took out a scanning device that looked like a magnifying glass, beeped for a while, and then spoke.
"The properties of Mingliu Crystal are rather strange. It does not have the properties of defense, energy storage, or energy transfer. In other words, this material cannot be used to make armor or weapons, but..."
He changed the subject and said, "It seems to have the effect of dispelling fog and the effect of dispelling gray fog and providing illumination."
Thinking of this, Master Wang immediately ran out of the oasis.
Fang You followed.
After following for a few seconds and finding that Lao Wang was running too slowly, he grabbed Lao Wang's shoulder, turned into a beam of light, and appeared at the edge of the oasis in less than three seconds.
There are soldiers from the Oasis Patrol patrolling here.
It not only prevents evil spirits from entering the oasis, but also prevents people from sneaking out of the oasis.
After encouraging them to continue patrolling, Fang You followed Master Wang out of the oasis. Suddenly, gray fog hit them in the face, and the shadow of the oasis behind them became blurred. If they walked forward another few dozen meters, the entire oasis would disappear from their sight.
Neither of them took out the Mingguang lantern in order to test the effect of the Mingliu crystal.
Sure enough, a faint glow spread from this magnificent crystal, slightly dispersing the gray fog. However, the dispersal range was very narrow, less than three meters. If Fang You stood a little further away, he would sink into the gray fog.
"It's not that the Ming Liu Jing is weak, it's that the material is not a strange object. Before it was made into a strange weapon, it didn't have much power. Compared with the Ming Guang Tree, the effect of the Ming Liu Jing is already far better."
Master Wang Chui did not use any obscure professional terms, so Teacher Fang understood him.
This is the second material that can be used to make "Fog-Repelling Items" after the Mingguang Tree.
"However, how to make it is a problem. The light tree is effective when it burns, but this light crystal is... obviously not the same as the light torch or lantern."
Master Wang said that unless there is enough reference material, it would be impossible to develop a product from scratch in a short period of time.
Besides, mentor, can you give up other research projects?
Obviously not.
Fang You fell into deep thought.
Ming Liujing is a specialty of the Falling Star Cave. The Falling Star City probably has methods of using it. However, this involves the core technology of a super oasis, a technology that can bring countless profits a year. It is not a common common sense technology and it is impossible to buy it.
Unless he pays a price far beyond the specification.
Then it loses its meaning.
By using Mingliujing, Fang You basically wanted Xinhuo to have an additional core product that could be sold more than used. Of course, the profit from selling products should be far greater than that from selling materials.
"References, references..."
Fang You murmured.
Suddenly I remembered an equipment I saw on Qianqiu's equipment column - the Ring of Bright Light - it was still from the Bright Light system, but it was a blue-grade strange weapon and could be effective permanently.
Obviously, the Ring of Bright Light no longer uses burning methods to utilize materials, but requires more advanced techniques.
If I could get the design information of the Ring of Bright Light, then maybe I could use it to design a new ring, the Ring of Bright Flow?
You can try it.
Anyway, he was just giving out a random task.
…
The construction of Spark Oasis is proceeding in an orderly manner.
On the 15th day, the White Shark-class airship brought in the second batch of pioneering workers.
On the 21st day, the third batch of White Shark-class airships arrived.
Day 27, fourth batch.
Day 33, fifth batch.
At the same time, the Oasis No. 2 next door, which has not yet been named, was also incorporated into the base module by Fang You, and construction began.
The resources of this oasis are just as described in the information, ordinary, ordinary, and ordinary. Its area is only one-third of the Spark Oasis, and its ecological environment is far inferior. The vegetation is much sparser and the water resources are not abundant enough.
If such an oasis is to develop into a large oasis, the road will inevitably be bumpy.
but,
If it is only used as the base of the Chamber of Commerce, it will be more than enough. Oasis No. 2 is also under construction now, with the goal of turning it into a commercial town.
Tentative name: Ranhuo Town, Ranhuo Chamber of Commerce.
Current popularity: 0.
…
…
"I've never heard of the Burning Chamber of Commerce?"
"That's right, you haven't heard of it. We've just started the preparations. As long as you come with us, you will become the elders of the Broken Sea branch of the Burning Chamber of Commerce in the future. How about that? It's very exciting, right?"
Seven Star Alliance, Xingluo Bay, in a secret stronghold.
Qianqiu opened his arms and talked freely.
Everything stems from that adult’s mission.
In a word:
One day, he received a personal task in the task list, which was to build the framework of the Broken Sea branch of the Burning Chamber of Commerce. Although Qianqiu had to handle the manpower, starting capital, and Chamber of Commerce bases by himself, it seemed very unscrupulous, but in fact, combined with his own experience during this period, Qianqiu only felt that it was a conscience.
That lord is a great virtuous man!
On the surface, it seemed that he would not provide any support, but in fact, tasks would pop up on the task bar from time to time, with very high rewards, but he was too slow to grab some of them.
Qianqiu has developed the habit of glancing at the taskbar from time to time.
At this time, he found another task, which was to provide the blueprints and information of the Ring of Bright Light. He took a quick look and accepted it. Although he had no idea yet, and although the current task was to establish the Burning Chamber of Commerce, it would not be a disadvantage to accept it.
"Wait a minute, I want to build the Burning Chamber of Commerce and recruit people. Once I have enough people, I will ask my men to find a solution. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? I am worthy of doing two tasks at the same time!"
Qianqiu was secretly proud of himself.
While his mind was racing, he did not forget to paint a rosy picture for the people in front of him. No, the future was indeed bright, how could this be called painting a rosy picture?
"This is your only chance to escape from the sea of suffering and embrace the future. I, Qianqiu, only treat you as my brothers, which is why I asked you to come here immediately."
There are three other people in the secret base besides Qianqiu.
A taciturn young man who just kept playing with the flying knife in his hand - Xiaodao.
A big man with a fierce face and a burly physique - Dahong.
A little girl with a chubby face and a bun, less than 1.5 meters tall - Mumu.
The three of them seem to be of different ages and their faces are even more different, but in fact, they are all Qianqiu's classmates in the killer training camp and are his few good brothers.
Qianqiu was born a killer and has always carried out missions alone.
No subordinates, no connections.
He wanted to recruit people but didn't know where to start. He thought about it for a day and a night and finally found an idea.
What is he most familiar with? The profession of assassin, the assassin of the Hidden Killing Pavilion.
If there is no manpower, just pry it out from your own...ah, just pry it out from your old employer, the Hidden Killing Pavilion. Many people have the idea of leaving the Hidden Killing Pavilion, but they can't get rid of it.
He is recruiting people here, so it's a two-way process.
Quite expensive!
"In other words, this Burning Chamber of Commerce is a super chamber of commerce from another domain, and it has chosen Aqiuqiuni as their spokesperson?"
"Yes, isn't it amazing?"
"It sounds impressive, but... don't forget that our lives are in the hands of the Pavilion Master and the Deputy Pavilion Master."
Mumu shook his head and said in a contemptible manner.
When it comes to the issue of life and the secret method of branding, Qianqiu becomes excited.
“That’s a good question!”
"Since I have called you here, I naturally have the means to unlock the secret method."
"really?"
The silent little knife raised his head, with a questioning look in his eyes.
The burly man was also stunned, with a puzzled look on his face.
Da Hong said, "The Hidden Killing Pavilion promised us that if we could survive mission after mission and live to be a hundred years old, they would remove our brand and give us freedom, but..."
"In fact, few of us assassins can live to be a hundred years old. Moreover, most of the time we don't have the power to refuse missions."
He paused and continued, "In the past few decades, there have been a few strong people who have lived to be over a hundred years old and gained freedom in the presence of many people, but... they seem to have disappeared without a trace. I have searched for a long time but have not found even a single clue."
After saying so much, Dahong finally just asked:
"Really? If so, I'll go with you."
"Of course, and the new employer has generous benefits. I can tell you that the future is definitely bright, and..." Qianqiu also gradually put away his playful smile, "I have also been branded. Would I joke with my own life?"
That makes sense.
Gradually, they reached a consensus.
"In that case, you are the elders of the Burning Chamber of Commerce, Broken Sea Branch. Congratulations! Now, let's recruit the first batch of employees for the Chamber of Commerce. I have sent invitations to some masters in a special way, and many of them are our old friends."
Another secret location.
Qianqiu came with Xiaodao, Dahong and Mumu.
Many powerful and unruly people have gathered here, some dressed strangely, some hiding in the shadows of black robes, and a few of them do not cover up at all, exposing their faces carelessly.
"It's Xue Tu! This guy is the top killer of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, and he never does assassinations. He always kills all witnesses openly to ensure the secrecy of the mission! This is also the origin of his name Xue Tu!"
Someone lowered his voice.
Everyone present was a self-important and powerful person who came here either out of curiosity or forced to do so. However, upon hearing the name of Bloody Slaughter, many of them fell silent, while some trembled in fear, fearing that everyone here would be slaughtered in the next moment.
This is a bad reputation that comes from killing!
At this moment, Xue Tu's body was filled with the aura of "I'm very unhappy" and "Keep Out".
He stared at the figures coming out from inside and was about to ask questions when suddenly...
Boom——
The ceiling of the secret stronghold was shattered, and countless rocks and earth flew everywhere. Amid screams and curses, the masters who were summoned dodged everywhere, looking unfriendly at the big hole in the ceiling.
Sunlight shone in from outside, lengthening the three figures.
They all wore the same style of robes and masks.
On the mask, there was a big word "Kill" written on it, and on the robe, there were numbers one to three marked.
Dress like this, dress like this...
"Could it be... Yes, it's one of the top three gold medal killers in the Hidden Killing Pavilion!"
"Heaven kill! Earth kill! Jade kill!"
"The most terrifying killer in the Hidden Killing Pavilion!"
The arrogant Xue Tu fell silent.
He took a few steps back silently.
Tiansha's cold eyes swept around and finally landed on Qianqiu who did not hide anything, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I heard that some forces were looking for people everywhere, but I didn't expect it was you."
"Oh my, it's exposed so soon."
Qianqiu scratched his head, very annoyed.
Mumu was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body.
This is the strongest killer except for the Pavilion Master!
Not to mention the problem of not being able to win, they had just planned to rebel and now they were found?
It's going to be terrible! It's going to die!
This unreliable Chiaki!
There was a terrifying force coming towards them, and the narrow space seemed to sink into a sea of blood and corpses. The masters who were being stared at by the three killers trembled constantly. They wanted to escape from this place of trouble, but they didn't dare to. It seemed that their lives would leave them if they moved.
At this time, the number one killer issued a verdict.
"I will judge your crimes on behalf of the Pavilion Master."
A legendary strange weapon appeared in his hand, delivering judgment. The Earth Killer and Jade Killer also attacked at the same time. The fierce murderous intent was like a cold wind from the lowest level of hell, blowing in his face.
The great crisis of death looms!
Everyone present was trembling with fear, and even someone as strong as Xue Tu could hardly move.
"How could I, Xue Tu, be so frightened that I couldn't move!"
There is not that much difference between him and Disha Yusha!
But he just couldn't move, as if the space was frozen.
Xue Tu was horrified.
He was horrified to find that the bloody light of judgment that descended had also solidified, the killing intent had solidified, the flames and thunder had solidified. No, it wasn't completely solidified, it was just moving very, very, very slowly, like... time had slowed down ten thousand times!
What is going on!
Every pair of eyes was filled with horror, and every body was like a sculpture.
Only a figure walked out of the darkness and into the sunlight. He stretched out his hand to pass over the stagnant flames and thunder, stroked the blood light that was moving as slow as a turtle, and grabbed the falling light particles.
He stood in the light and controlled his own destiny.
"Nice to meet you. I am the president of the Broken Sea branch of the Burning Fire Merchant Guild."
"Welcome to my realm."
