Chapter 205
"Tulsi, what bottle?"
Biscuit flapped its wings and used its two small hands to pull Tulsi's clothes with great effort to help him sit up from the ground.
Just the action of standing up made Tours breathless. He took a moment to relax, then looked at the transparent glass bottle in his hand.
Just now he suddenly fainted, and then he saw the dark blue ocean with countless bottles floating in it again, and a bottle came to his feet.
He picked up the bottle and woke up.
And the glass bottle reappeared in reality, and only he could see it.
Tulsi couldn't remember the last time he picked up the bottle, nor could he quite remember when it disappeared.
In the dark world underground, time seems particularly meaningless.
"Let's go, let's leave here first." Tours said.
He stood up with difficulty, endured the dizziness and picked up the basket and mushrooms on the ground, put the glass bottle in the basket, and then left the room.
The little round biscuit landed on his shoulder.
They went to see the children together first. In addition to eleven children, there were also two elderly people in their eighties.
Almost five years have passed since Xiaya was engulfed by the beast tide and they were forced to take refuge underground under the protection of their warriors.
There were originally seven or eight elderly people and more than twenty children, but some died of illness or starvation, and now only less than half of them are left.
To avoid unnecessary consumption, children spend most of their time sleeping -
Although they were restless at first, they became obedient after paying various costs and proving that their actions were not only unhelpful but would bring more disasters.
The luminous inscriptions engraved on the walls of the room are the only source of light here.
Dark, eerie, and lifeless.
If you live in such an environment for a long time, your mind will become numb and depressed.
Sometimes Tours couldn't help but wonder what the point of their existence was. Would they ever really be able to return to the surface?
The only thing that supports him now is to pass on the inscription of Xiaya.
The inheritance of the Xiayasa inscription must not be broken in his hands.
A child walked towards Turles. He was the oldest child, named Senrui, and he was thirteen years old this year.
The youngest of the surviving children was only six years old, but he had already been underground for five years...
Tulsi handed him the basket of mushrooms, reached out and touched his head, then turned and left.
Silence and stillness, no one spoke.
Then……
Senrui screamed and threw a writhing mushroom away.
The little goblin changed back to its original form in mid-air, laughed heartily, and said happily: "Xiao Senrui, you've been fooled again!"
His laughter broke the silence in the room, and the children who were not asleep looked over, with a little more spirit in their eyes.
Senrui was not angry either. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his numb and empty face.
"Small round cookies..."
Because he seldom speaks, he speaks very slowly, but his pronunciation is standard and sounds very nice.
"You're so cute, Mori-chan!"
The little fairy flew over, patted his cheek with his little hand, and said, "See you tomorrow, good luck!"
The children watched the goblin leave until it was out of sight, and then they reluctantly looked away.
And Biscuit had appeared beside Tulsi and followed him to the studio.
The light in this room is much brighter than other places, but also dimmer than normal light, because too bright light may attract star beasts.
If that happens, they may face a catastrophe.
Turles sat on the chair and took a short rest before pulling out the cork from the bottle.
Then, he heard the boy's voice again.
"Hello, Turs, we are glad to have your trust. We have prepared some food for you..."
"We are very interested in the inscription you mentioned..."
"Can you create space items? They can be used without magic..."
Tulsi listened patiently, his body trembling slightly.
The language the boy spoke was unfamiliar, but strangely, he could understand what he was saying. So... was this boy real? Did he really bring them food?
"Tulsi, are you okay?"
Biscuit looked at Tulsi, who was silent and had a strange expression, and couldn't help but look at him worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm fine, don't worry."
Tulsi looked at the little round biscuit and asked, "You still can't see the bottle, right? And you can't hear anyone talking."
The goblin shook his head.
Turles nodded and said, "Then the next step is to prove whether this is my imagination or not."
He tilted the bottle, dumping out the miniature stone cabinet contained within.
"Wow, Turles, where did you come from?" The little goblin flapped its wings and flew to Turles' hands, holding the mini stone cabinet and looking at it.
"I put it in that bottle you couldn't see."
Tours said, "Let's restore it to its original state and see if there are any surprises inside."
Biscuit looked at him strangely, but nodded doubtfully.
So, they placed the mini stone cabinet on the floor, and then the goblin injected magic power into the restoration inscription.
The mini stone cabinet emitted light and slowly returned to its two-meter height.
Before the stone cabinet was opened, the goblin sniffed and said in surprise, "Tulsi, I smell the aroma of food!"
Tulsi smelled it too.
He took a deep breath and opened the cabinet.
As the cabinet door slowly opened, food and water, which filled almost two-thirds of the cabinet, appeared in front of him and Little Round Biscuit.
"Where did all this come from?" The goblin flew to the cupboard and counted the food inside. "So much flour! Can we make little round cookies?"
"Oh, this smells like sweet candy! This is so salty... is it salt? And the hard jerky... I can sense the scent of the water magic crystal!"
The goblin chattered as he took inventory, while Tulsi stared blankly at the food in the cupboard.
After confirming that all this was not his hallucination, tears suddenly overflowed from his eyes.
"We are saved... the children are saved..." Turles murmured.
"Turs, where do all these things come from?" The little elf finally finished counting the things in the stone cabinet and flew back excitedly to ask.
"It was given to us by a young man named Tang Yu'an..."
Tulsi explained everything to him, and with the real thing in front of him, the goblin finally believed that the invisible bottle really existed.
"Great! With this food, Senrui and the others won't die!"
Tulsi smiled and nodded. He looked at the goblin and said, "Thank you, little round biscuit."
A gentle smile appeared on the young man's face. The little goblin hadn't seen a smile on his face for a long time.
"You brought me good luck."
Hearing this, Little Round Biscuit couldn't help but puff out his chest and said proudly, "I'm telling you, I'm very useful!"
Looking at his cute appearance, Tulsi couldn't help but stretch out his finger towards him. Before he could touch it, the little goblin took the initiative to rub Tulsi's fingertips with the top of his head.
The inscriptions on the walls of the room emitted a faint glow, making the scene seem so warm.
Soon, hot water was boiling in the room.
Turles poured glucose into the hot water, and the goblin stirred it with a wooden stick.
"Can't you add some more flour or something?" asked the little round biscuit.
Turles shook his head and explained, "The children haven't had a full meal in a long time. They can't eat too much at once. Let's give them some sugar water first."
He waited until the sugar water became warm before he and the biscuit left the room.
The pot floated in the air and followed them to where the children slept.
Turles tapped the wall, lighting up more inscriptions.
"Get up, it's time to eat!" The little goblin flew over the room and shouted loudly.
"Senrui, wake everyone up to drink some sugar water." After saying this to the confused boy, Turles took two bowls of sugar water and went to the next room.
In the next room were two engraving masters, Jackson and Lina.
Their attainments in engraving were no worse than Tours's. Tours had talent, while they had experience.
After the magic crystals underground were almost used up, they took the initiative to take on the task of inputting magic power into the magic circle.
This magic circle can conceal their breath, making the star beasts unable to detect them, and Tours is also working hard to engrave protective inscriptions, trying to give this underground secret room a certain degree of defense.
However, engraving inscriptions while the formation was in operation was a very difficult task, so his progress was slow.
"Grandpa Jackson, Grandma Lina."
Tulsi walked into the room and said to the two happily, "We have food!"
The two old men slowly opened their eyes, looked at each other, and then Lina stopped the output of magic power first.
She looked at Tulsi and asked, "Has the mushroom cultivation inscription improved?"
Tursi shook his head and handed her a bowl of sugar water. "Drink it first to replenish your energy. I will explain it to you slowly."
Lina took the bowl and took a sip, then instinctively wanted to swallow. Fortunately, she restrained this desire and slowly drank the bowl of rich sugar water.
"Grandpa Jackson, you should take a rest too. Let me input the magic power."
Lina hurriedly put down the bowl and stopped him.
"Turles, you are the last hope of Siasa, you can't be in any trouble."
Turles was only twenty-one years old, but he had already broken through to become a two-star elementalist. Theoretically, he had a lifespan of two hundred years. During these five years, he had mastered the inscriptions they taught him.
He is the pride of Siassa and he has a more important mission.
Looking at the serious expressions of Lina and Jackson, Turles smiled and then took out a few water crystals.
"Grandma Lina, what do you think this is?"
Lina was stunned. "Water magic crystal? Haven't we used up all our magic crystals?"
"Well, this is new," said Tours.
Lina was a little shaken, but Jackson still shook his head stubbornly and said, "Keep these magic crystals. They will be useful in the future."
"It's just one, it's okay." Tours advised, "We'll definitely have a lot more in the future, and I'll need your help later."
Finally, at Tours's insistence, they used a crystal stone as a power source.
Jackson and Lina could finally take a break.
After drinking the thick sugar water, they couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction, and a happy and sweet smile appeared on their faces.
“This water is so sweet!”
"Tulsi, where did you get the honey?"
Turles smiled, took out the stone cabinet that he had shrunk and put away, and restored it to its original state in front of the two elders.
He showed the two elders the supplies in the stone cabinet, and seeing their surprised expressions, he took out the bottle that no one could see except him.
"These supplies were given to us by that little friend from the East."
Jackson and Lina listened to Tours' explanation with disbelief on their faces, but the supplies in the stone cabinet, the sweet soup they tasted, and the crystal stones in the magic circle all told them clearly—
What Tours said was true! He communicated with people from other continents through a bottle in his dream!
So the planet of Ai Xue is not completely fallen, right?
Hope rekindled in their hearts. Perhaps in the future, they would see the light of day again with the inheritance of the Inscription Master!
Turles took out the materials that were packed in the bottom compartment of the stone cabinet.
These materials seem to be taken from a magical beast, but the magic power they contain is relatively low, so they should be from an extremely low-level magical beast.
This material can only be used to engrave relatively simple inscriptions, so it is not difficult to make.
"Grandma Lina, Grandpa Jackson, I need your help." Turles looked at them and said solemnly.
"you say."
"Once we have eaten and gained strength, we will craft these materials into weapons or equipment to demonstrate our strength and value to our only current ally."
Tours said solemnly: "Only in this way will we be qualified to exchange with them for more food, water and magic crystals."
With the replenishment of supplies, the defense array of this underground secret room can be repaired and improved more quickly, and they can do things with more freedom and allow the children to move around.
"Whether we can escape the fate of extinction depends on this one move!"
After hearing his words, the two old men couldn't help but look serious, and they both understood the importance of this matter.
If possible, they would certainly like to save all the children, among whom there are also some children with good talent in inscriptions.
And they themselves also want to survive.
"It just so happens that we haven't made an inscription in a long time." Jackson said with a smile, "Leave this to us."
Lina also nodded in agreement.
Seeing their high morale, Tours thought for a moment and said, "We still have time. Please don't use methods that will cost you your lifespan to complete the engraving."
Jackson glanced at him disapprovingly. "Isn't carving low-level inscriptions as easy as eating and drinking? Who would waste their lifespan just carving low-level inscriptions?"
Tours said nothing more.
He took out flour and salt from the stone cabinet and prepared to make noodle soup. After all, simply drinking thick sugar water would not fill him up.
After finally regaining their strength, Jackson and Lina began to process the materials and asked Turles to call the children over.
This is a very good introductory teaching material for inscriptions, and it is even more precious to these children who have nothing.
They all gathered around Jackson and Lina, watching the two old men process and carve the materials, and helping them.
This day is so special for these children who have been trapped underground for five years.
Not only did they have a full meal for the first time, but they were also allowed to go out. Although they were just watching the production of inscribed equipment, it was enough to light up their eyes.
Tours handed over the production of primary equipment and weapons, then hurried back to the studio.
He had his own research topic - how to make a space bag that did not require magic power and could be used by ordinary people?
He listened very carefully to the teen's needs - even though he was talking about reaching into the bag and taking it.
Unfortunately, Tours does not have the talent for space, which is a very rare power that is not even within the system of elemental magic.
So how does he meet this requirement?
Tulsi looked at the little round biscuits dancing in front of him, flapping their wings and dropping bits of star-like light.
He couldn't help but open his notebook and turned to the middle page, which recorded an inscription of his imagination - the fairy world.
This is the inscription he designed with the inspiration of goblins. The idea is to create a world where all creatures that enter will be proportionally shrunk and become as small as round biscuits.
If this is the case, they will need very little food and water, and they will no longer need to fear star beasts.
He currently does not have the ability to realize this inscription, but... can it be used in the space bag?
The objects put in will shrink proportionally, and will automatically become larger when taken out of the bag.
Isn't this a disguised way of realizing the function of the space bag? And he's already mastered the shrinking of inanimate objects...
The only difficulty now is how to shrink the object inside the bag while keeping the volume of the bag unchanged.
Turles told Little Round Biscuit about his ideas. Under his guidance, the little elf who had long since become an engraver started a heated discussion with him.
The dream bottle was placed on the table, reflecting two figures, one large and one small, as if witnessing everything...

Grassland Lakeside, Store No. 6.
A wind-powered waterwheel finally stood up on the lakeside, driving the water into the ditch, allowing more water to flow into the water network that had been laid five or six hundred meters away.
After more than half a month of hard work, the grassland around Store No. 6 has begun to take shape.
Starting from the lakeside and extending outward toward Store No. 6, it forms a water network about five to six hundred meters long and one to two hundred meters wide.
These crisscrossing ditches and deep pits every ten meters or so allow the lake water to continuously nourish the land.
After being sown, the grass seedlings immediately began to grow roots and quickly burst out with powerful vitality, digging their roots deep into the soil to absorb the water and nutrients needed for growth.
In addition to green grass, bushes began to grow around ditches and reservoirs, and animals that drank water no longer gathered in lakes to face life-and-death challenges.
They can drink water in any ditch. Although there are still countless natural enemies around them, after being dispersed, they still have more living space.
This grassland, covering more than a hundred acres, is transitioning into an oasis, and everything looks prosperous.
Even Lao Ping and his companions were surprised at the changes in this land, and were even more amazed at the miraculous methods of the Shangshen Sect.
They did not dare to approach to fetch water, let alone poach animals on the grassland, for fear of angering the gods.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi didn't pay any attention to them for the time being. Anyway, they would basically wear masks when they went out.
After all, they basically don't need to do any work themselves. Even for a waterwheel, they just make a design drawing and prepare the raw materials before handing it over to the construction robot.
Moreover, since the number of construction robots has been increased to five, the efficiency has been greatly improved.
I feel that the second waterwheel can be built soon.
"The waterwheel is built. Is it about time to start raising sheep?" Tang Yu'an looked at the green pasture and felt extremely satisfied.
"Let's wait until the grass grows more lush." Zhou Qi said.
He had heard that sheep eat grass with the roots, and the grassland ecology is still relatively fragile, so it still needs to be maintained for a period of time.
"Okay then." Tang Yu'an nodded.
They played with the wolves for a while, and then prepared to go back to the deserted city to continue paving the road in the RV. But...
[Employee...Experience +1]
[Experience value is full, merchant level +1]
[Merchant level reaches lv21, and the mall has added peppercorns, compressed biscuits, canned rabbit meat, mineral water, and desk lamps for exchange. For details, please visit the "Wholesale Market"]
[Portable storage slot +1, total slots: 25]
[The tele-pickup skill has been upgraded to level 19. For details, please go to "Skills"]
[Forum vest +1, new "Nearby" channel added to the message board]
【RV upgrade, overall performance increased by 100%】
Wow!
"Brother Xiaoqi, I've been promoted to another level!" Tang Yu'an said happily.
After more than half a month, we were finally promoted again. This was when the employees were all excellent and hardworking. Otherwise, if it were just the two of them, I really don’t know how long it would take to get promoted to the next level.
Tang Yu'an took a look at the rewards this time and felt that they were all pretty good.
Teleportation has been upgraded to another level, and the distance of all skills has doubled.
"Hey, another forum username has been added!" I can open a new username and play with it again!
"Hey, nearby channels?" Tang Yu'an opened the message board rules and took a look.
Basically, employees in the same area can communicate in nearby channels, and the distance that constitutes an area is set by Tang Yu'an, with the maximum distance being 10 kilometers.
For the safety of the employees, Tang Yu'an directly set it to the farthest distance.
"The performance of the RV has increased by 100%?" Zhou Qi asked with interest, "Let's go back and take a look!"
"good!"
They returned via the teleportation array, ready to test the improved performance of the RV to see what specific effects it would have.

MR168845, S Town.
Tang Sheng was driving on the street. His wife Tang Xueyun was sitting in the passenger seat with empty eyes and a tired face.
"Dad, there's a monster chasing us from behind." His only remaining daughter, Tang Yuxin, said to him in the back seat of the car.
"Well, sit tight and watch daddy shake them off!"
Tang Sheng increased the speed of the car to the maximum, and quickly got rid of the deformed monsters behind him, and came to a street corner with a relatively wide view and barely hidden.
"Dad, I'm hungry..." Tang Yuxin said in a low voice.
Tang Sheng reached into his backpack and searched for a long time but only took out a sausage.
This is the last of their stock...
