Chapter 337
"Grandpa, is it really you? You look so young!"
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi entered the room and looked around Li Changqing.
Li Changqing chuckled. Although he had grown younger, his features were still familiar to Tang Yu'an, and the kindness in his expression had not changed.
"Thanks to the cultivation techniques you left behind."
Li Changqing also practiced hard for several years and had just made a breakthrough not long ago.
In fact, he could feel that with his qualifications, it was very difficult for him to practice cultivation. The reason why he was able to break through was because the "spiritual energy" between heaven and earth increased.
The two children had told him before that the integration between their world and the giant's world was intensifying.
Starting from a few years ago, natural disasters became more frequent and more severe, comparable to the catastrophe period seventy years ago.
Fortunately, thanks to the existence of the protective barrier, they have been able to spend these years safely and their strength has become even stronger.
"You guys have been away for so long this time..."
Li Changqing looked at Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi and couldn't help but smile: "Compared to five years ago, you haven't changed much."
Tang Yu'an scratched his head and said, "We were clearing out the mutants in China, and it's only been over half a year over there, but I didn't expect it to be five years here!"
Li Changqing nodded: "Yes, the time difference is getting bigger and bigger."
Of course, on the other hand, the time ratio between them and the giant world is smaller - 5 years have passed in the wasteland world, while 15 years have passed in the giant world.
In the past few years, Li Changqing would also go to Giant World regularly to help Tang Yu'an clean the vending machine warehouse. After all, it had been so long since he had been there. If it had not been cleaned regularly, the warehouse would have burst long ago.
This is probably the reason why he was able to break through so quickly.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the giant world is really high. When Li Changqing went there for the first time, he was "intoxicated by oxygen". After slowly adapting, his physical condition also changed.
"Should I call you uncle now?" Tang Yu'an asked.
Li Changqing shook his head. "Let's just call him Grandpa. We can't forget where we came from."
His life cannot be said to be full of ups and downs, but it has been full of ups and downs. Those experiences are his precious wealth and they also contain precious memories that he does not want to forget.
He will always remember the first time he took the two children to Jufeng Mountain and the scene at the foot of Jufeng Mountain when Xiao An called him "Grandpa" for the first time.
Even though many years have passed, and even though he has so much more now, he still can't forget that "Grandpa", the warm and bright bonfire that night, and that bowl of hot soup...
"Haha, okay." Tang Yu'an responded with a smile.
"Do you want to stay for lunch? Or are you leaving soon?" Li Changqing asked.
"Stay for dinner. I'll call Sister Lin back so we can all get together!" Tang Yu'an said.
Li Changqing nodded: "That girl hasn't been back for two or three years... Oh, where are Granny Guo and Kang Kang? Can we call them back too?"
Because of the need to plant purple Melaleuca trees, Kang Kang has been staying in China. Now he is a more famous figure than the Ping An Chamber of Commerce.
Granny Guo has not been idle in China either. She and agricultural experts are researching high-yield rice varieties that can adapt to various extreme environments, and have recently achieved some results.
As long as further experiments prove that this new type of rice can produce high yields when grown in a natural environment without the use of supernatural powers, they will be declared successful.
Of course, this only applies to the Chinese world.
In fact, after the first batch of rice seeds came out, Granny Guo sent the seeds to Huangcheng Home and handed them to Li Changqing.
After being cultivated in the homeland, the success of this rice has been proven. Now, not only in the Huangcheng homeland, but also in Linhai Town, Yanlong homeland and the grassland, fields have been reclaimed and planted.
In a while, everyone in the family should be able to eat rice made from this kind of rice.
For Granny Guo, this has already fulfilled her dream and she has no regrets in life.
"Things are almost done in China, Kang Kang and Grandma Guo can come back now." Tang Yu'an said.
In addition to eliminating all mutant species within the territory, purple Melaleuca trees have also been planted along the border, so at least there is no need to worry about the invasion of mutant species anymore.
Since practicing martial arts is so useful, it must be arranged by Grandma Guo, as well as Dad, Mom, and Xinxin.
There will be no crisis in China in the short term, and they can finally take a break and focus their energy back on their little family!
So, Tang Yu'an sent messages to everyone, summoning them back one by one.
Besides the people in China, there were also the Haijing father and daughter, Shitou Xiaocao, and the Shugen father and son whose lunch boxes were already scattered all over their home. Then there was Tiejin Alian, Mo Ke, Lan Yunqing, Chi Hao, Hongli, and Xie Chaori...
All their acquaintances, Tang Yu’s security department, were called over.
Because of the teleportation array, it was very convenient for them to travel back and forth. When he called out, everyone accepted the invitation and came.
Chi Hao and Lan Yunqing arrived the fastest.
"Xiao An! Xiao Qi!" Chi Hao was very excited to see them again, "Finally we meet again! You've all grown up!"
"Brother Chihao."
Tang Yu'an called out to him with a smile.
Strictly speaking, Chi Hao is their first employee. Although he was a bit slow in the beginning, he helped them a lot and now his level has caught up.
“You guys are truly amazing!”
Chi Hao praised the deserted city home highly, and then looked at Zhou Qi eagerly.
"Xiaoqi, are you cooking today?"
After so many years, Chi Hao still misses the meals Zhou Qi cooked.
Zhou Qi paused, nodded and said, "If you want to eat..."
"I think so!"
Not only Chi Hao, but even Li Changqing couldn't help but look over.
"Then I'll go get ready."
"I'll help!"
Tang Yu'an followed Zhou Qi and went to the kitchen together.
So, after such a long time, everyone finally gathered together again, just like when the deserted city home was first built.
Everyone was having a great time, talking and laughing.
After they had enough food and drink, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi, led by Li Changqing, went to visit the current home of the God of Commerce.
Yes, with everyone's unanimous decision, the entire home connected by protective barriers was collectively called the "Home of the God of Commerce."
After five years of development, and with the help of talent and technical assistance from the Chinese world, the entire Shangshen homeland no longer looks dilapidated and backward.
No matter where you go, you will see prosperity and vitality.
Even the Purple Sky Castle, which had become an empty castle, was put to great use. Although natural disasters became more frequent and terrifying, the Purple Sky jellyfish not only did not perish, but became more rampant.
Zhan Xiong had a sudden idea one day and put the hydrogen and chlorine produced by jellyfish electrolysis into the trading area.
Unexpectedly, someone actually bought it!
Chlorine is okay, but the sales of hydrogen are far ahead, especially after Tang Yu'an opened the trading area to the employees of the Chinese World.
Because of the global fall, China's access to energy imports from other countries was cut off. During the apocalypse, domestic energy extraction was also temporarily halted, so China was in a state of energy shortage.
The hydrogen provided by Zhan Xiong was directly purified by the system, just like Tang Yu'an had previously directly purified water through the message in a bottle transaction.
This is undoubtedly a very high-quality energy source, and Zhan Xiong sells it very cheaply.
In this way, the hydrogen from Zitian Fort has a market, and people in other parts of the Chinese world and the Shangshen Homeland have a stable supply of energy, once again achieving a win-win situation!
For example, the Ice Flame Castle can now operate normally after having a protective barrier and energy supply.
Moreover, the construction team of Huangcheng Home finally overcame various difficulties and built the road to Qingmu Castle and Bingyan Castle.
There were dozens of other settlements, large and small, along the way, all of which were absorbed into the home of the God of Commerce.
When Tang Yu'an opened the map, he could see a large area of land that had been cleared of fog, and densely packed with light spots.
The total population of the God of Business’s homeland has reached over 10 million!
Of course, there are still places on the map that have not been cleared of the fog, and they can only wait for people to slowly explore them. However... with natural disasters so frequent outside, how many people can survive?
"In addition to humans, there are also many animals entering the home of the God of Business to seek refuge, many of which are mutant creatures," said Li Changqing.
Even mutant creatures find it difficult to survive, let alone humans.
They are only lucky enough to have the protection of the God of Commerce, which is why they are able to have the peaceful, stable and happy life they have now. The wasteland outside their home is still dark.
Tang Yu'an was also very emotional, but he knew very well that he could not save everyone.
It is enough to do what is within your ability.
After visiting the home of the God of Business, Li Changqing returned to the deserted city to continue his work, while Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi went to the world of giants.
Thus, a new round of settlement began.
When Tang Yu'an just returned to the wasteland world, the system started the settlement broadcast. Because the data was too long, he temporarily closed the prompt.
Although the values in the Giant Plane are large, the speed is much faster than before because the vending machine does not need to calculate experience points.
Finally, when the system settlement prompt stopped, Tang Yu'an opened his points account and took a look.
Points balance: 928.39 million
Tang Yu'an's eyes suddenly widened.
After his brain froze for a while, he finally converted the number into information he could understand.
"More than 920 million!"
He jumped up with excitement, "Brother Xiaoqi, we're rich! We're really rich!"
Tang Yu'an had a feeling of unreality.
Moreover, his level has been raised to lv42, making him a high-level businessman!
Zhou Qi was not very surprised. This number was similar to what he had calculated. After all, his home now had a population of over ten million, and so many years had passed.
The power of time is extremely strong.
He touched the top of Tang Yu'an's head and said with a smile, "What do you want to do next?"
"Go and see the Fire Dragon Clan?"
Although 15 years had passed, it was not a long time for an immortal species like the Dragon Clan. When they arrived at the Fire Dragon Clan's territory, Yan Lie and the others had not returned yet.
Because only half a year had passed in China, the little dragon cub did not miss his parents that much. After returning to the tribe, he jumped into the lava with the little phoenix and started playing.
Tang Yu'an ignored them and went to look at the emerald branches.
Fifteen years later, this fiery red mutant vine has grown more luxuriantly, its roots have penetrated into the magma, and it is constantly absorbing fire spiritual energy.
It first rubbed Tang Yu'an's hand affectionately, and then conveyed a hint of strange emotion.
Tang Yu'an was confused and couldn't figure out what this emotion meant.
However, Emerald's emotion did not last long. Soon, she started playing intimately with Tang Yu'an again, so Tang Yu'an did not continue to explore.
Because the dragons had not returned yet, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi stayed for the time being.
They haven't practiced for a long time and have been fighting during this period. It's a good opportunity for them to calm down, summarize and seek new breakthroughs.
Half a month passed quickly.
On this day, the little dragon cub and the little phoenix who were playing and frolicking in the lava suddenly flew back in a hurry.
"An An, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!"
"What's wrong?"
"There's a hole under the lava!"
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi knew that there was a space crack under the magma. They came to the Fire Dragon Clan's land through the space crack.
But Long Zaizai's next words made them unable to sit still.
"There are so many holes! The lava is flowing into the holes! And..." the dragon cub said, "I swam into the hole and saw a human city underneath!"
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi looked at each other and quickly flew out of the platform. Sure enough, they saw small whirlpools appearing in the calmly flowing magma.
Because they were wearing bright green sun-protective clothing, they did not hesitate and flew into the lava hand in hand.
After they passed through the "hole" mentioned by the little dragon, they arrived above the Flame Dragon's home.
I saw that the world had turned into a fiery red, and the scorching hot magma flowed down from the cracks in space, from drops to lines, turning this world into a purgatory on earth.
Tang Yu'an even saw the roots of the ruby.
He and Zhou Qi looked down and saw that lava had already dripped onto the protective barrier of the Flame Dragon's home, and then fell to the ground along the barrier.
As more and more magma flowed down, Tang Yu'an saw clearly—
A crack appeared in the protective barrier!
[Warning! The natural disaster you encountered has exceeded the barrier's tolerance. Do you want to spend extra points to resist?]
Tang Yu'an already understood that points represented energy to the system, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Then he saw that his points balance was being consumed rapidly, and millions of points were gone in almost the blink of an eye.
This is consumed too quickly!
"Besides here, are other places also experiencing natural disasters?"
The system did not answer, but only presented images of various places in the home in front of him.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, extreme cold...
The heaven and earth were shaking, and there was hardly a peaceful place.
The real end of the world has come!
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi's expressions changed drastically. "System, you have to hold on!"
However……
[MR176349 is entering the countdown to destruction. When the points reach the bottom, everything will be gone. At that time, the Doomsday Grocery Store system will be unbound from MR176349.]
"Unbind?" Tang Yu'an was horrified. "What should we do if you leave?"
They have always been reluctant to rely too much on the system, but when a real disaster strikes, they simply cannot leave the system.
[Originally, the host could only perish along with this world, but...]
[Congratulations, you can go to MR168845 plane to hide. This plane is undergoing drastic changes, and the teleportation array function will be closed soon. Please leave as soon as possible.]
"If you unbind yourself from this plane, will you also unbind yourself from me?"
[Yes, the Doomsday Grocery Store system will go to another plane after the destruction of this plane]
[Host, please act quickly]
Tang Yu'an quickly posted a notice on the message board, asking everyone to go to the Chinese world through the teleportation array as soon as possible.
Facing everyone's questions, he ignored them and asked with red eyes: "System, is there no other way? Is there no way to prevent the destruction of this plane?"
He looked at the Flame Dragon Home below, recalling the God of Commerce Home that he had built with great difficulty, his heart filled with pain and unwillingness.
People's lives have obviously improved...
Moreover, even if we abandon everything here, there is no way to completely relocate the tens of millions of people in our homeland in a short period of time!
The fusion of the world is irreversible
【Host, this is the end】
[Please leave as soon as possible, the teleportation array function has entered the shutdown countdown]
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but tremble all over.
Zhou Qi couldn't see what the system said, but he could guess from Tang Yu'an's reaction. He couldn't help but hold the boy's hand tightly.
"Brother Xiaoqi, what should I do... This world is going to be destroyed..." Tang Yu'an cried, "Everyone is going to die..."
Even without the teleportation array, they can still cross the space rift, but what about the people in their homeland?
They can't take so many people away!
Is it still useless after trying for so long? Tang Yu'an felt deeply powerless.
Zhou Qi was silent for a moment, then continued, "Today's lottery draws haven't been used yet."
A glimmer of hope arose in Tang Yu'an's heart.
[There is no item in the prize pool that can prevent the destruction of the plane]
The system poured cold water on them.
Tang Yu'an couldn't help biting his lip, but he still opened the lucky wheel.
【……】
It's the last moment, do you still want to grab something good from it?
qaq
However, the system did not stop it.
In fact, it still likes this host very much. After all, he is really hardworking. The system has never been so rich before.
Although it will be gone soon, at least I had fun!
The lucky wheel began to spin, and finally, as the pointer stopped, the entire system interface suddenly flashed a few times.
Then, Tang Yu'an saw——
Congratulations! You've obtained the unique hidden item "Blank Godhead"
The author has something to say:
System: [Afraid] [Clown]
Xiaoqi: You can always trust the European Emperor :)
