Chapter 79
==================
[Flying Stone: A stone that contains energy and can float. The floating force varies depending on the amount of energy.]
Another new ore!
"Where did you get that!?"
As if sensing Lian Yun's happiness, Luo smiled slightly: "This is a stone that accidentally hit my arms when I fell and was pushed by the water. I grabbed it casually and found that it has a natural upward force."
"I thought the town might be able to use it, so I brought it back."
"It was found in the river channel below?!" Lian Yun looked at the small stone in surprise. It was half the size of a palm and looked like an ordinary stone.
But it can float!
Countless ideas suddenly flashed through Lian Yun's mind.
"So... it's useful, right?" Luo asked softly.
"It's very useful, thank you." Lian Yun said sincerely, "Since you like inventing, maybe you can do something with it."
Luo listened to her words and said: "Okay, I will think about it carefully."
"But do you remember where you hit this rock?"
If this kind of ore is really to be utilized, it must be used on a large scale.
According to previous experience, ores appear in clusters, so there must be a source of minerals.
"Could it be just under the river?" Lian Yun suggested.
If this kind of ore had always existed underground, these stones should have been washed out on the day the river was opened.
After listening to Lian Yun's words, Luo thought carefully: "If there has never been such a stone before, and a piece of it was accidentally rushed out of the quarry due to the collapse today, perhaps..."
"Just down there in the quarry."
After these words were spoken, the three people in the room fell silent.
The mine is not small. If it is really at the foot of the mountain, the safety of working in the quarry is one issue, and finding the source of the mine is even more difficult.
The water flow was so fast that Lian Yun didn't dare to let anyone go into the water.
There is no guarantee of safety and no response measures.
"Even a creature like the little frog that can swim in the water with ease will inevitably get injured today." Lian Yun frowned and couldn't think of a solution.
"And if there really is another underground river under the mountain, then there will be unknown potential dangers no matter where the quarry is moved to next," Lanner added.
"Why don't we start from the place where it collapsed today?" Luo Qiashi said.
The two looked at him.
Luo touched the black veil on his eyes, the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Although I can't see, my memory is very good. If I could go into the water again, maybe I could find the correct direction."
"And I was experienced enough to avoid the rocks the second time around."
"No." Lian Yun said firmly, "I will never let you take risks again."
She was already in a hurry to let him follow the orcs to the quarry to survey the terrain. A blind man like him would not be able to withstand the repeated torture even if he had good physical fitness.
"Okay." Luo did not refute, but just smiled lightly, as if he had guessed Lian Yun's objection a long time ago.
"Actually, it's not impossible." Lana didn't care about Luo as much as Lian Yun did.
He only cares about adults, and the town comes second. Luo is a member of the town and should do his best to serve the town.
So he spoke of his idea without hesitation: "My Lord has ordered people to begin researching various uses for shark skin. We already know that shark skin is waterproof, so using it for underwater operations is not a bad idea."
Wetsuit?
Lian Yun nodded thoughtfully. It did make sense.
"But..." She still glanced at Luo, "Luo's body is not well yet, I still don't want him to go into the water casually."
"I'm not targeting him." Lanna explained, glancing at the quiet Luo: "After all, he can't do anything now."
"I can go in the water. Jamie said he can swim. And if the 911 organization that the adults want to create is successfully trained, they must not be left idle all day just on standby. They can assign some people to do these things."
"Furthermore, after training, their physical fitness and skills will be fully improved, and underwater surveying will not be a difficult task."
"That makes sense." Lian Yun nodded and praised his idea. "If the mineral source is really underwater, long-term underwater work is indeed necessary."
"As for you." Lian Yun gently patted the back of Luo's hand: "I'll be relieved if you have a good rest. After the busy period in the town is over, we will go to the Elf Forest together."
Luo nodded obediently: "Okay."
Lian Yun took Lana out of the room and ran into Gerry who was returning on the way.
Lian Yun wanted to say hello to him, but unexpectedly, he stopped her directly, and his expression was a little... embarrassed?
"What's wrong?" Lian Yun asked curiously.
Gerry seemed to struggle for a moment before mustering up the courage to look aside and ask Lian Yun, "Sir, you just said that in your hometown, there are many policies for governing the country, right?"
"That's right."
"Can you remember more similar plans?" Gerry asked formally.
As an administrator, he knew that the lord's ambition was not limited to the town of Bubu, and there would be bigger and more complicated things to deal with in the future.
After what happened today, he realized that he had too many shortcomings.
If it was just a small town, it would be fine, but when it expands into a city and faces interactions with multiple races, what he knows now is still too little.
Gary loves this town and this job, and he doesn't want his abilities to be unworthy of this position, even though everyone respects him.
But he knew that he could not be complacent and avoid seeking medical treatment.
Lian Yun understood what he meant and smiled knowingly: "It's great that you have this idea. The town and I are honored to have an administrator like you."
Lian Yun is not stingy with his encouragement for doing the right thing.
Especially for someone like Gary, who is already old but has to learn and improve again, he faces much more difficulties than young people.
Lian Yun didn't know if dwarves, like humans, experienced a decline in memory as they aged. But for a leader like Gerry, even one who had been a leader his entire life, the desire to learn from the younger generation took tremendous determination and courage.
Gary also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I was worried that the adults would find me troublesome. But your hometown is really nice. There are many things there that we have never heard of."
Lian Yun was stunned.
Her hometown...
However, the systems of various countries over there are really good and complete, and are many years ahead of this continent where survival has been difficult for a long time.
Although I can't reveal her true origins, I can reveal the information over there.
After all, it's not just Gary who needs to learn, the residents of the town and Lian Yun also need to learn.
This is not something that can be solved by just talking.
Lian Yun took the two of them to the store, clicked [Ten Consecutives in One], and after searching for a long time in the long list at the back, he finally found the education column.
Lian Yun rubbed his hands, put them together and made a wish.
A familiar white light flashed by, and several layers of black items piled up in the inventory, making it difficult to see clearly. Lian Yun directly clicked to buy and took them out of his backpack.
With a "whoosh" sound, a pile of books appeared in the store in an instant, filling up half of the floor of the room.
[Encyclopedia (Exclusive Premium Edition): From astronomy to geography, including philosophy of life to 36 ways to cook chicken, there's nothing I can't write about!]
"What is this?" Gary picked up a book, touched the thick black cloth cover, opened it, and was instantly shocked by the content inside.
Lian Yun noticed his expression and leaned over to take a look.
On the left page was a diagram of a human body with the organs and meridians marked out, and the other page was filled with dense text.
“It’s a medical book.”
"Maybe Louis needs this," Lanner added.
We have medical ones, and there is no shortage of others.
Gary searched for a long time in the sea of books and finally found books related to politics and people's livelihood.
As expected of an advanced edition, the content inside was comprehensive and easy to understand. Gerry was overjoyed: "Sir, can you lend me this book?"
"Of course." Lian Yun nodded without hesitation: "I'm sure everyone needs this too."
She looked at Lanna and said, "Please take someone to move these to the classroom later."
Children are at an age when they are most receptive to new information, so there is no harm in letting them master the content they are interested in in advance.
"Anyone who wants to borrow it can borrow it and study it at any time. Just leave your name."
"Thank you for your generosity, sir." Gerry said sincerely, "These books will definitely help the town become better."
Lanna quickly led people to clear out the books in the store, and the construction of the mission hall was completed.
As evening approached and the sky gradually darkened, the people of the town gathered at the central altar to witness the completion of the mission hall.
Everyone walked into the hall and faced the huge sunflower. Lian Yun poured the last bit of lotus fertilizer into its soil, and it was quickly absorbed by the roots.
The originally closed leaves gradually opened up, and the pointed tips slowly and gently drew a graceful arc, finally settling in a position parallel to the flower disk.
The sunflower seeds inside are much larger than those of professional elves, as long as Lian Yun's forearm, but the color is lighter than that of the elves and looks softer.
In order to accommodate more people in the future, the mission hall has set up five windows, but with the current population of the town, two or three windows are enough.
The windows are arranged in a face-to-face structure similar to that of a bank office in Quoge City, but the difference is that the town's mission hall is more inclined to "openness" and "communication".
There is no thick glass or distant call lines. Each window has only a round wooden table with smoothed edges and corners, making the whole process look more friendly and rounded. There are two high chairs facing each other on the table, one for the salesperson and the other for the person who receives the task.
Next to each table is a shelf more than half a person's height, on which are placed papers and pens and ink, so that special tasks can be assigned at any time.
The five windows are separated by stone walls to avoid disturbing each other.
The business elf appears in the same way as the professional elf, with an androgynous appearance and a faint light emanating from its body.
It was light golden in color, flapping its cicada-wing-like wings in place, stretching itself, looking around, and choosing window number 1 to fly over.
Sitting firmly, it looked at the empty door, then at the stunned crowd, then calmly withdrew its gaze and fiddled with the quill on the table.
After a while, everyone saw it quickly write a few words on the paper, fold it into a three-dimensional triangular sign, and place it with the words on it facing the door.
They went around to the front and took a look.
Three powerful and beautiful "Open" signs were clearly written on the paper.
The architect scratched his head and smiled sheepishly: "I was negligent. I'll make a few signboards and send them over soon."
"How magical!" Everyone marveled in amazement. Even though everyone had a crystal around their waist that was used as a hiding place for their professional elves, they still couldn't help but sigh in admiration when they saw such a magical scene again.
[The landmark building is completed. Congratulations to the Lord for achieving a hidden achievement! The achievement reward has been issued, please pay attention to receive it!]
!
Lian Yun quickly opened his backpack and looked around carefully but found no extra items.
I glanced at the icons below and it seems that there is no upgrade.
so……
Lian Yun suddenly thought of the skills he had learned for a long time. After clicking on them, he found two skills that had been lit up in the [Architecture] column.
One of them is "indestructible", which she has always remembered. Now every time a house is repaired or a new building is built, she will help pass a brick to add the "indestructible" BUFF to the building.
The other is the newly-lit achievement reward - "Positive BUFF".
[Positive BUFF: Through processing, can give decorative items a positive influence (such as vitality, concentration, joy...), the degree is slight and cannot be stacked.]
This is a skill that Lian Yun had never thought of.
Decorative items...
All Lian Yun could think of were the boxes of gems that he had bought from the Xibo caravan and were still piled up in the warehouse.
I didn't expect that it would be useful now.
Lian Yun sent someone with some gems and immediately tried to give them a BUFF in the mission hall.
She picked up a light green gem, looked around the hall, and finally chose to give it the "Concentration" BUFF.
The gemstone glowed with brighter colors, and it seemed as if energy was flowing through it.
Lian Yun's "positive BUFF" and "indestructible" skills also turned gray.
It seems that similar skills can only be used once a day.
"Embed this in the wall." Lian Yun handed the gem to the person next to him.
This is equivalent to something like aromatherapy under the action of external force, but it is colorless and odorless but has magical functions.
What do I need for the Quest Hall?
Everyone comes here to work on various tasks, and there are bound to be dangers. At this time, it is even more necessary for both parties to calm down and focus on considering various possibilities.
So this gem just fits the bill.
Lian Yun's gaze shifted to the [Farming] skill above, and she saw the "Copy Seed" skill that had been lit up but had been forgotten by her for a long time.
[Duplicate Seeds: Excellent quality seeds have a 5% chance of successfully duplicating, superior quality seeds have a 20% chance, medium quality seeds have an 80% chance, and ordinary quality seeds have a 100% chance. The skill cooldown increases with quality, but decreases if the operation fails. (This effect also applies to divisions, but not to mature plants.)]
That is to say, the operation can only be performed after the mature plant produces seeds, or on a single ramet after successful division.
Lian Yun suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at Meili, who was observing the crowd, and walked over to her. "Is that premium parsnip ready for division?"
She remembered that the premium parsnips grew by growing green shoots at the top.
Meili nodded. "Indeed, it's possible. I've just been busy preparing for the wheat harvest these days and haven't had time to do it."
Fiona made a lot of sickles these days and asked Mary to try out the one that was suitable so that she could mass-produce it based on the model.
She also discussed with the orcs to find large cylindrical stones on the mountain similar to the "stone roller" described by the lord, to use for husking wheat.
"Now that I have some free time, would you like to see how to divide the plants?"
Lian Yun nodded and told her about her new skills. Meili immediately took her to the farmland.
Mary was extremely excited on the way.
She looked at Lian Yun with some hesitation, but after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Sir, do I have a chance to possess skills like yours?"
Replicate seeds and divide plants, what an amazing ability!
Lian Yun was stunned and did not make a conclusion immediately.
These skills of hers had already been upgraded to the maximum level when she first crossed over, so it was a natural progression and she didn't have to start from scratch.
But the residents of the small town are different. They are starting from scratch, with zero career, skills and experience.
Even Lana, whose level has exceeded 20, has not been heard to have discovered any special skills.
"Maybe." Lian Yun encouraged her with a smile, "Meili, your hard work will definitely be rewarded."
Meili really takes good care of the plants.
Even if the system does not give her any skills, Lian Yun will use the gems to help her to the best of his ability.
Meili understood what Lian Yun meant and was not discouraged.
Her mind was already on these crops, and skills were just there to add bonuses. Whether they existed or not, it was just icing on the cake.
The two soon arrived at the farmland, but Mary took her past the first parsnip and walked towards the second one farther away.
Lian Yun had stopped and then followed.
Sensing Lian Yun's doubts, Meili smiled and looked up at her: "This plant was split from the first one. Although the lifespan of wind-blown grass is very long, each plant can only reproduce once."
This is also why when Xincheng designed to trick Garin into leaving the village with the windweed, although Garin was worried, he was still willing to take the risk.
Xincheng did not hesitate to kill and destroy the village, because they did not know that a second parsnip plant had been successfully divided in the village a few years ago.
Lian Yun nodded in understanding.
Unique proliferation method and the ability to divide once in a lifetime.
This also makes premium parsnips even rarer.
In this case, her original vision of "letting parsnips cover the desert"...
It’s really so beautiful.
Mary looked around the green shoots of the parsnip and pointed to the brightest green. "This is the sign that it's time to divide. Adults can think of it as its 'child.'"
"Sir, would you like to try it?" The two of them squatted in front of the wind grass, and Mary took out the tools from her pocket.
"Me?" Lian Yun suddenly became a little nervous.
Meili smiled and nodded, and encouraged her in return: "Gentlemen, please give it a try. This child is not delicate at all and can be divided easily."
Tools were stuffed into Lian Yun's hands. Although he was nervous, it seemed as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened up inexplicably.
Following Meili's gentle reminders and instructions, Lian Yun became extremely skilled, as if he had done it countless times.
After a while, the new wind grass with buds was divided, and Lian Yun quickly used [Copy Seed].
Skills are greyed out.
…but nothing happened to the new parsnips.
"Failure..." Lian Yun sighed slowly.
"It's only a 10% chance of success, isn't that normal?" Mary said with a smile. "Your Excellency is very skilled. I think it will be happy to have the new life you've given it."
Lian Yun also smiled.
That's true.
No matter what, it's a happy thing.
Meili transplanted the newly grown young parsnips
The two stood up, and Meili pointed to the huge lotus pod in the center of the field and said, "One more thing."
"The lotus buds are appearing again."
