Chapter 163
"Wind Blade? An offensive skill?" Zhou Qi guessed after hearing Tang Yu'an's words.
"Xiaoqi brother, you are so smart!"
Tang Yu'an looked at the skill panel and continued to read the information.
【Wind Blade lv1】
Attributes: Magical skills.
Level 1 effect: Group attack skill, can release three wind blades at the same time, causing damage to the target. The specific power depends on the target's defense.
Cooling time: 60 minutes.
"That means it can be used once every hour?" Zhou Qi frowned.
Although the number of times it can be used each day has increased, it is obvious that this wind blade is an instant skill, unlike the light body technique which can last for a long time.
The 60-minute cooldown time is too limiting in combat, and it can probably only be used once in each battle.
"It doesn't matter. Once I use it more, maybe I will learn it myself." Tang Yu'an was very optimistic.
Ever since he started practicing flying, he could clearly feel that his sensitivity and control over the power of wind had increased.
For example, now, after the flying spell is used up, he will use the floating spell next.
Before, he used the levitation technique, but he couldn't control himself after floating in the air, and Brother Xiaoqi had to tie him up with a rope to protect him.
However, now that he has used the levitation technique, he can change direction and speed by controlling the power of the wind.
Although it is not as good as flying in terms of overall sensitivity and maximum speed, it is actually safer because he is still a novice.
Therefore, after he has thoroughly studied and understood the Wind Blade Technique, perhaps it will become a skill that he can truly master.
Hearing his words, Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Then you have to practice hard."
Tang Yu'an glanced at him and gestured, "Then can the class time be shortened a little bit?"
Because there are various things to do every day, the previously fixed study time is always disrupted.
Despite this, under Zhou Qi's supervision, the course progress was not delayed.
"Don't you like class?" Zhou Qi looked at him and asked.
"It's not that I don't like it..." Tang Yuan lowered his head slightly.
Zhou Qi thought about it and said to him seriously: "Learning knowledge is indeed boring and hard, but it can help us develop a mindset that understands the world."
“Even though this knowledge may not be used, as long as you study it carefully, it will definitely leave a mark.”
“The very process of thinking will train our minds, allowing us to find solutions more effectively when we encounter problems.”
Tang Yu'an looked up at Zhou Qi, and for some reason her face suddenly turned red.
He turned away and said haltingly, "I, I know. I won't give up studying and thinking."
Zhou Qi reached out and pressed his hand on the top of Tang Yu'an's head, rubbing it gently.
"Of course, a balance between work and rest is also important. If you feel too tired, shorten the course."
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but look at him again. There was a gentle smile in his clear eyes, as if they could tolerate everything about him.
“Hmm… Yeah, okay!”
Tang Yu'an responded randomly and ran away, "I'm going to test the effect of the wind blade!"
Zhou Qi shook his head and went to discuss the formation of a guard with Old Li.
After listening to Zhou Qi's idea, Old Li also thought it was a good idea. Although there were Tang Yu'an's four pets, the current defense of the deserted city home was sufficient.
However, as the area of the home continues to expand, there will definitely be situations that cannot be taken into account.
At least we need patrol personnel.
"I think we can first integrate the high-end forces in our homeland."
Zhou Qi said: "At present, they are not needed to patrol and guard. They can summarize their training experience and find ways to improve their abilities."
Most of the psychics in the wasteland are self-taught, unlike Chi Hao and Hong Li who have received systematic training in the fortress.
Their talents may not be weak, but they lack the methods to learn.
It is definitely unrealistic to expect the fortress to make this knowledge public, so they have to collect this experience themselves to facilitate the cultivation of their own high-end combat power in the future.
The master-disciple inheritance like that of Liehuo and Fireball is very good, and the cultivation experience of those with special abilities is also a very important part of knowledge inheritance.
Old Li looked at Zhou Qi and felt that he was really bold.
"Those with special abilities might not be willing to share their experiences," he said. "There are just as many cases of people cherishing their own things in the wasteland as there are in the fortress."
After all, for most wastelanders, they can't trust anyone in the world except themselves. They are unwilling to sacrifice even their families, so how can we expect them to teach their precious knowledge to strangers?
Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "In fact, such an exchange group has already appeared in the homeland."
"Oh?" Old Li was surprised.
Zhou Qi explained to him Lan Lin's situation and his method of absorbing ice energy during sleep, which he called "meditation."
"Coercion can easily lead to rebelliousness and is not conducive to communication. We should focus on encouragement first."
“How to encourage?”
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "Let's set up a communication room on the 5th floor. People who have problems can leave messages in the communication room. If you can answer them, you can get a reward."
It doesn’t matter if there is no one who can answer the question, because the question itself is a kind of knowledge.
As for how to set up specific rewards, we can discuss it further, such as setting basic rewards, and as long as the rewards are meaningful, you can get them.
Old Li nodded as he listened to Zhou Qi's story. It sounded good, but the biggest problem was...
"These people are illiterate. If we really want to follow this method, we can only let them dictate it orally."
However, it is easy to go wrong when narrating orally.
If a recorder is assigned, who can do this? In the deserted city home, the most educated people are him, Granny Guo, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi.
"I'm afraid I can't handle everything at once..." Old Li said with some difficulty.
Zhou Qi nodded, "Let me take care of this matter."
Listening to the questions of those people with special abilities is also very helpful to his cultivation. After all, he possesses many special abilities, and the problems they talk about are ones he may encounter in the future.
"Okay, then I have no objection."
Old Li also understands the importance of knowledge dissemination. It would be great if the knowledge about superpowers could be preserved and passed on to the next generation.
"I'll go clean up the room. No rush, right?"
"Well, no rush."
This matter cannot be rushed. It is still difficult to break some of the concepts of the wastelanders in a short period of time.
But Zhou Qi believes that there must be people who are willing to communicate but lack the conditions. When they gain tangible benefits from the communication room, more people will be attracted to join.
The proportion of people with special abilities among the residents is not small, and they are able to live alone in the deserted city, and each of them has considerable abilities.
What we need to do now is to attract these people, change their ideas, let them truly integrate into the collective of Huangcheng Home, and create greater benefits.
Zhou Qi returned to Ping'an Grocery Store, took out a pen and paper, and began to plan the communication room.
Soon, a sound was heard in the attic. It was Tang Yu'an who ran back after testing the wind blade. Seeing him writing and drawing, he couldn't help but come over.
Then he heard Zhou Qi's new idea.
"Wow! This is good!"
Tang Yu'an was very interested in the planning of the communication room.
He sat down next to Zhou Qi and said, "Well, I think we can set the opening hours of the communication room so that we don't have to stay there all the time."
As for which time period...
"How about setting it up in the evening after dark, between seven and nine?"
Tang Yu'an said excitedly: "It just so happens that the Yinglv light strip has been upgraded and can be used. Then put a few fire stones in to make the room warm."
As for the charging problem of the green light strip, he can use the medium-grade spirit gathering grass first, but now that the star chain fruit is growing lushly, he thinks that maybe he can put the light strip in the star chain fruit field during the day.
Star Chain Fruit has the characteristic of rapid growth, and the planter makes the plants grow quickly through wood-type psychic power.
Perhaps the concentration of wood-type spiritual energy is also higher in fields of Star Chain Fruit? We'll find out tomorrow if this guess is correct!
Tang Yu'an touched his chin, "Hmm... add some clean boiled water, then it will be very attractive from the perspective of the environment!"
Think about it, the whole building is dark at night. Even if a fire is lit, the light is too dim to see anything clearly - especially now that there is a fire stone, no one lights a fire in the house anymore.
And in such a dark and cold night, there was a room that was bright as if it were daytime, and there was water and warmth in the room.
Who wouldn’t want to stay in such a special and comfortable place?
"Everyone doesn't have much entertainment, so they will definitely be willing to come to a chat room like this." Tang Yu'an said with a smile.
It’s okay if you’re busy during the day, but when you’re free at night and it’s pitch dark, you can basically just sleep.
But coming from modern society, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi couldn't accept going to bed so early.
Going to bed before 8 o'clock in the evening was a routine he had only had when he was in kindergarten. After he started elementary school, Tang Yu'an would not go to bed before 10 o'clock.
At this stage, we are not afraid of no results from communication, but we are afraid that no one will come.
According to An An's description, it is indeed quite attractive, but... Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "According to you, are you planning to let those ordinary residents come as well?"
"Yeah, but I think they can be separated."
Anyway, the smallest suite on the 5th floor also has one bedroom and one living room. If people with special abilities want to discuss something, they can go to the small room, while others can stay in the hall to talk and chat.
This way, those who are on the sidelines will have a place to observe closely and it will also enhance the relationship between residents.
"Those who are willing to go into the small room to communicate can enjoy clean water and snacks, but those who stay in the hall will not have this benefit."
Tang Yu'an continued.
"It just so happens that we have Round Head and Golden Head now. They can do it, so we don't have to do it ourselves."
They only need to provide the materials, and with the food reserves of Ping'an Grocery Store, the soybean cakes alone can feed the residents for several years.
By then, I guess many people will be willing to come.
Just thinking about everyone staying together in a warm house and chatting, Tang Yu'an felt it was so wonderful!
Zhou Qi also thought it was a good idea, but seeing the boy's face flushed with excitement, he reminded him, "What if someone comes into the exchange room and tries to eat and drink for free?"
"Just rub it in." Tang Yu'an said indifferently, "Didn't you say that we want to win over these people with special abilities?"
Water and snacks are certainly in limited supply, which they can definitely afford, and theft is impossible in the deserted city home, so there is no need to worry.
If we can spend a little bit of food to win the hearts of these people with special abilities, wouldn’t that be a good deal?
Even if it only allows some psychics to spit out some useful information, so that he and Brother Xiaoqi can avoid detours on the road of cultivation, it is very worthwhile!
"But we can't go there every day. It would be bad if we missed some useful information..."
Tang Yu'an touched his chin, then opened the plane store and browsed, "Let me see if there is anything I can use."
Looking at the boy's serious expression, Zhou Qi smiled, put the paper and pen aside for the time being, and went to make dinner.
In the kitchen, Roundhead had already prepared the ingredients, and he just had to prepare them.
"Master, I can cook, too," the housekeeping robot followed beside him and volunteered, "and the taste is guaranteed!"
Zhou Qi shook his head, "I can give you other jobs, but not this one."
"Why is that?" asked the round-headed man.
"Because I like to cook for An An."
Amid the sizzling sound of cooking, Zhou Qi's voice was a little vague.
The round-headed man blinked his electronic eyes, then turned around and slowly left the kitchen, asking Tang Yu'an who was browsing the information carefully.
"Master, is there anything else I can do? If not, I'll rest first!"
Tang Yu'an exchanged another hundred pieces of cotton cloth and gave it enough blue beard leaves so that it could continue to make low-temperature cloth.
"Okay, thank you, Master!"
Then, Roundhead happily continued to work with the materials in his hands.
What a rare little cutie!
After dinner, Tang Yu'an finally found a product in the plane store that was functional and reasonably priced.
A light computer from the technological dimension only requires 5,000 points.
After purchasing it, Tang Yu'an used his identification skills to check and found that the value of this optical computer was 3,500 points.
In a Plane Store, a hub of profiteers who could profit by a tenfold margin, how could such a price not be considered a steal?!
This optical computer is a round little ball equipped with a basic intelligent system.
"We put this optical computer in the communication room and let it record the content of the communication." Tang Yu'an said, "It can summarize the content, extract useful information, and generate a text version."
Moreover, the round head can also receive the data it sends, and the round head has a printing function!
Zhou Qi looked at the round little ball, studied it carefully, and nodded: "It's really good, it's the function we want."
And its function is more than just recording and summarizing.
"First, it has recording and projection capabilities," Zhou Qi said. "We can project unresolved issues in the communication room as long-term rewards."
Tang Yu'an nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, the optical brain has a voice function, so we can have it read aloud. Then we don't have to worry about people not being able to read!"
And after seeing it more often, these people with special abilities might even be able to recognize a few words.
"Those psychics who provide answers can record their answers. This is actually more intuitive than text." Zhou Qi said again.
"Yes, yes. The things they can't express clearly can be directly shown through images."
Tang Yu'an looked at the optical computer and said, "Storing this knowledge in the optical computer will make it much easier to search for it later."
Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "The knowledge we have compiled should be printed out and made into a book. One copy can be placed in the communication room for people to read, and the other can be stored as a backup."
The most likely thing to be preserved after a catastrophe is a physical book.
Although the electronic version saves space, the requirements for storage and usage conditions are too high. Things like computers and mobile phones are basically scrapped within a few decades.
As for books, as long as they are waterproof and moisture-proof and care is taken in the materials used in their production, their use will not be affected even if they are kept for hundreds or thousands of years.
"Well, that's fine too. If they can't understand, they can have the light brain read it aloud."
Tang Yu'an nodded, and then said: "Should we set a condition, such as requiring people who enter the small room to communicate to be literate?"
The more people who can read and write, the better. There are many residents between the ages of 20 and 30. As long as they study hard, there is definitely nothing they cannot learn.
"Then conduct regular assessments."
Zhou Qi said, "This will be done once a month. If someone hasn't shared any useful knowledge at the end of the month, they will be banned from entering the small room."
"If such a person wants to enter the small room again, he must come up with useful knowledge and pass the literacy test."
"Those who have always been eligible to stay in the small room will also need to take a literacy assessment, and this period can be longer."
It would be fine if one could never get in, but if one was eliminated because of failing the assessment, the person would probably feel unwilling to accept this, and unwillingness is the best motivation to study.
"Then let's settle it this way!"
Tang Yu'an said this and took the laptop to charge.
To set up such a communication room, the green light strip is very important, but upgrading it takes time, so there is no need to rush.
Next, they began their respective courses and waited until the time was almost up before climbing up to the attic.
Tang Yu'an came to the outside of Menghai's window and looked at the bottles floating inside.
Thinking of something, he couldn't help scratching his head and said, "The lord of Lanhu Town hasn't accepted the recruitment yet."
"You didn't refuse?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Zhou Qi said, "He might need to consider it again."
The lord of Lanhu Town is not an ordinary person who has nothing and lives in danger every day. As the lord of a town, he needs to be responsible for the entire Lanhu Town and its people.
How could such a person easily accept such an unknown recruitment?
He might think that after accepting the recruitment, he would become the subordinate of the mysterious businessman and might be controlled by the mysterious businessman.
If this control is compulsory and he needs to obey the mysterious merchant's orders absolutely, then it would definitely be unacceptable to a lord like him.
This has nothing to do with his own wishes; it is determined by his identity and status.
Listening to Zhou Qi's analysis, Tang Yu'an scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Ah, then why didn't he refuse?"
"He must be worried that refusing will anger the mysterious businessman." Zhou Qi shrugged, "So he's deliberately delaying."
Tang Yu'an didn't expect that his recruitment information might cause so much trouble to Lan Yunqing.
If you put yourself in his shoes, he might also be conflicted.
After all, Lan Yunqing had never had direct contact with the mysterious businessman, and all the information he could get came from Xiao Risheng.
"Then what should we do?" Tang Yu'an asked.
"It's up to you."
Zhou Qi said, "If you really want to hire him, then temporarily stop doing business in Lanhu Town and leave him alone for a few days. He should behave himself."
According to Chi Hao's statement and the number of transactions with Xiao Risheng, the crisis in Lanhu Town should not have been completely resolved yet.
Xiao Risheng also expressed his hope to get more healing potions.
Therefore, the one who should be anxious about this matter should be Lanhu Town, and Lan Yunqing has no right to choose.
Tang Yu'an curled his lips, "Why does it feel like the mysterious businessman has turned into a bad guy?"
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "How can there be such a cute villain?"
"snort."
Tang Yu'an felt that he was being laughed at, so he ignored him, opened Meng Hai's window and started fishing out the bottle.
As for whether Lan Yunqing would accept his recruitment, it all depended on fate. Anyway, if he got Xiao Risheng's bottle, he would definitely have to trade with him.
It is impossible to refuse the transaction just to force Lan Yunqing. Tang Yu'an would not do such a thing.
Because I have already mastered the identification method, the first bottle is still Ganlin.
"Mysterious Merchant, I have done what you asked. Please respond to me and come to my dream!"
"Well, here I come."
"Mysterious businessman!" Gan Lin shouted happily, and then told Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi all the information he got after waking up from the dream yesterday.
"So, the water we gave you showed up in the box with the Fire Stone?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Is the water clean and odorless?"
"That's right. I let Lao Mo try it, and he also said it was delicious." Gan Lin answered honestly.
Tang Yu'an glanced at the map and said, "Are you back to where you lived before?"
"Yes, there are a lot of fire stones here." Gan Lin replied, "And we have recruited two helpers, Uncle Shazi and Sister Luo."
“Can they be trusted?”
"Yeah, that should be possible. They have all helped Lao Mo. Uncle Shazi even saved Lao Mo's life."
Hearing this, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi both nodded.
In this doomsday, between the person you helped and the person who helped you, the latter is definitely more trustworthy.
At this time, Gan Lin continued, "We collected more than forty pieces of Fire Stone today."
Wuhu, it is true that there is strength in numbers!
Then he asked cautiously, "Lao Mo is leading them to dig a well. You said you would send us a flood... Can you wait until we finish digging this well before you tell us?"
