Chapter 24 Chapter 024【VIP】
"Are they heading this way?"
Outside the Taoyuan base, a group of superpowers looked hesitantly at the empty space in front of them, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Really? They were heading this way," the person tracking them said excitedly. "They just vanished in a flash."
"There must be some mechanism nearby."
"Yes. Let's look for more."
That's accurate; there's definitely a mechanism. After Mingzhu confirmed that many guests would be arriving, he changed the shield's settings.
Nowadays, anyone who hasn't stayed here can't see the Taoyuan Inn. This is considered alien black technology. Even 184 doesn't understand the principle, so others will be even less able to comprehend it.
Anyway, by changing the set defense shield, the Taoyuan base will be hidden directly, so outsiders will naturally not be able to discover the Taoyuan base.
However, there are still "open" hours every day, from 9 am to 2 pm, which is when the defense shield is "ineffective" and the entire Taoyuan base will appear in sight.
It was exactly 2:30 in the afternoon. Naturally, the Taoyuan base was hidden. The people who were following the migration of the University Town base thought they had seen a ghost.
The guy who was "tipped off" didn't think he saw a ghost, but thought that the people he sent out were fooled.
"Look carefully, it must be nearby."
After searching, they were able to find something wrong. The protective shield was actually like an air wall, invisible to the naked eye but palpable.
After all, it was stuck there, unable to move forward. Anyone who wasn't a fool could spot the problem.
"It must be someone's special ability."
Thinking of the various strange abilities of the psychics, the leader realized that this was that person's ability, so he immediately asked the psychics in the team to move together and bombard the protective shield with various abilities.
Suddenly, the shield appeared in many colors. Red, green, and even shit-yellow. It was quite beautiful.
Such a commotion naturally attracted attention.
Soon, people appeared densely in places that were originally invisible.
"Hey, who the hell is so uncultured setting off firecrackers?"
"It wasn't firecrackers. It felt like they wanted to come in."
"They can't come in?"
"Look at how ugly they look, do they think they can get in?"
There was a lot of discussion for a while, but no one panicked. Although they didn't know the general situation, they guessed it.
Most likely, the owner of the 'Taoyuan Inn' has come up with some black technology, which has caused the entire 'Taoyuan Base' to be closed and invisible to outsiders. Therefore, the trackers who followed them to the Taoyuan Base chose such a rough but simple method to determine the location of the Taoyuan Base.
How should I put it? It was harmless, and I even treated them to free fireworks, but honestly, this behavior is quite disgusting.
Anyway, none of the people who came out to watch the fun had a good face towards the people standing on the "opposite" side.
The candle came out half late.
"Disable the defense function for one hour." Mingzhu said coldly, then turned his gaze to the leader. "What do you want to do?"
"Is this a hotel?" asked the leader of the psychic team.
"The inn," Mingzhu replied, then continued asking. "You haven't told me what your purpose is yet? To sabotage?"
"We came here following Commander Zhang. We didn't have any particular purpose, we were just curious as to why Commander Zhang would relocate the entire base. You know, our Dawn Base was originally split into two groups because of a disagreement with Commander Zhang over the relocation issue."
The leader's voice was filled with regret. He obviously felt that Commander Zhang Junfang was wrong for always considering ordinary people and even sacrificing the interests of those with special abilities in order to increase the survival rate of ordinary people.
The leader believes that the interests of those with special abilities should be above all else. Only by improving the interests of those with special abilities can humanity have a future.
If all the people with superpowers were sacrificed and only ordinary people were left, the world would be hopeless.
There are many reasons, but no matter how I think about it, something seems weird!
If you think about it carefully, ordinary people have no human rights. If they want to survive, they must give everything to those with superpowers, including their lives.
And this falls into the argument.
Because I wanted to live, I gave everything to the superpower, and in the end, everything also included my life. This is not against my original intention.
Really...it's better to quibble.
Anyone with a slightly straightforward mindset can easily be misled and brainwashed.
Mingzhu: "It's no use telling me this."
"You and Comrade Zhang Junfang discussed your disagreements privately. Now, we should discuss your offensive behavior."
"I'm sorry," the leader apologized graciously, adding, "If compensation is needed, we will. Now I want to know the safety of 'Taoyuan Base', after all..."
"Golden Abacus,
Mingzhu became very impatient. Wang Ruo didn't want to waste too much time talking. He had just finished explaining it, and now he was going to explain it again.
It’s so annoying. I don’t want to work overtime at all.
However, Jin Suanpan still had to carry out the boss's orders, so he left the Taoyuan base with an impatient attitude.
In short, everyone is treated equally. First, whether they are people with special abilities or ordinary people, the requirements are the same.
Ordinary people thought it was fine, but as for those with special abilities, there were two different opinions. One group felt it didn't matter, while the other group felt that their special abilities had lost their privileges and that they could no longer do whatever they wanted above ordinary people.
Fortunately, the psychics at the University Town base who can stay and protect ordinary people are not like the psychics at the Dawn base. Most psychics have the idea of dominating all living beings.
The leader of the special ability team who was inquiring about the news was clearly a typical example of the latter. During Jin Suanpan's explanation, his expression was very interesting, changing several shades.
Now, after Jin Suanpan finished explaining, the leader looked hesitant. It was obvious that he was attracted to the "Taoyuan Base", but he couldn't let go of the privileges he enjoyed as a superpower in the Dawn Base.
For a moment, I was torn between my conscience and my desires, and I was not hesitant at all.
Jin Suanpan didn't care about the leader's inner struggles or hesitations. After explaining, Jin Suanpan picked up his pipe and started smoking.
The posture is elegant and extremely lazy.
"So, tourists, do you want to stay at Taoyuan Inn or Taoyuan Base? Taoyuan Inn currently has no rooms. Taoyuan Base is under construction. Around 12:00 tomorrow, another batch of rooms will be put into construction. If you need to rent a room, please check in the lobby of Taoyuan Inn at 12:00 tomorrow."
After saying that, Jin Suanpan ignored the superpower team.
As long as they do not check in, people defined as tourists will be expelled from Taoyuan Base after 4 hours.
This was the Taoyuan Base's defense mechanism operating automatically, and the laws it brought with it. There was no need to worry about it, so Jin Suanpan ignored the special ability team.
Jin Suanpan went to find Mingzhu and planned to discuss with him the creation of a task hall for the residents of Taoyuan Base to accept and submit tasks.
Mingzhu: “…”
"Find something for yourself."
Mingzhu muttered, but had to admit that the NPC Jin Suanpan was even more human than himself.
So there was no objection. According to Jin Suanpan's suggestion, the lobby of the "Taoyuan Inn" was specially renovated and a task panel was built, which could be used for external submission. Not only Mingzhu and others could submit tasks, but any resident staying in the Taoyuan base could come to the lobby to find Jin Suanpan to submit tasks.
After the task panel was launched, Mingzhu first launched the task of long-term acquisition of resources such as stone, wood, bamboo strips, and weeds.
As for the price, it's a bit more expensive than just throwing it into the recycling bin. Therefore, since the resource acquisition task was posted, many more people have submitted tasks to the task panel.
As for Mingzhu, he was freed from the tedious "labor" of hunting and collecting construction resources every day.
He stayed in his residence for several days to rest before starting his hunting career again.
[Ding! System upgrade, production category can now build intermediate level.]
[Current buildings at the Taoyuan base include: two 8-story stone-style antique apartment buildings, four 5-story wooden-style antique apartment buildings, four 5-story bamboo-style antique apartment buildings... 10 bamboo courtyard houses, 10 wooden courtyard houses, one Taoyuan Inn, one royal residence... three primary poultry houses, four primary fish ponds, 14 farmlands, two thatched gardens, and two salt pans...]
[The system has been upgraded to level 2, with the highest level being 5. You can build intermediate fish ponds, vegetable gardens, orchards, kudzu gardens, flax gardens, basic restaurants, basic taverns, armories, basic arrow towers, basic city walls, etc.... If the King of Su needs to build something, please go to the relevant category panel and follow the instructions.]
Mingzhu came back to his senses from his doze.
"Upgraded?" Mingzhu was surprised: "When did it happen?"
"Also, what is the upgrade mechanism?"
"King Su, you have so many questions!" 184 stretched lazily on the side. His increasingly plump figure made the calico cat 184 look more like a gas tank.
"The system is divided into five levels. A few days ago, the system underwent a self-inspection, and the relevant data has been fully restored."
"Lord Su, I can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
"oh!"
Mingzhu didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it. He just paused for a moment and then began to check the existing construction resources.
How should I put it? The task of exchanging construction resources for starlight coins is super good. In just a few days, Mingzhu has a lot of construction resources, which is much more efficient than Mingzhu collecting them alone with great effort.
"There are currently 4,111 people at Taoyuan Base." 184 paused, then continued. "Lord Su, Tong's suggestion is to first build ten eight-story stone-style apartment buildings."
"Is the accommodation situation crowded now?" Mingzhu asked.
There are now two 8-story stone-built antique apartment buildings. Except for the top floor which is designed as a courtyard house, it can accommodate 10 to 20 people.
The 8-story stone-built, antique-style apartment building has an area of 240 square meters per floor. There is no common area, and the stairs are all external. There are six rooms on the first floor, each with an area of 40 square meters.
Can be renovated into a set of two.
The minimum occupancy is 4 people and the maximum occupancy is 10 people.
However, since Zhang Junfang had rented out the rooms, he had arranged for 10 people per room, so 60 people could live on each floor. With eight floors, that meant 480 people could live there. In addition, the courtyard on the top floor could accommodate 20 people. The eight-story stone-built, antique-style apartment building could accommodate 500 people.
Two buildings mean 1,000 people.
There were originally 3,750 people relocated from the University Town base, mostly elderly people, children and ordinary people. There were more than 900 soldiers in total.
It's more than enough to live in two 8-story stone antique apartment buildings.
The remaining 10 five-story antique apartment buildings are made of wood and bamboo, respectively, and also have six rooms per floor, accommodating 6 to 10 people.
A courtyard house was also built on the rooftop, which can also accommodate 10 to 20 people.
Most of the residents did not live in the two 8-story stone antique apartment buildings rented by the soldiers, where 10 people lived in each room and the management lived in the courtyard on the top floor.
They all stay in the house as families.
If you don't have any family, you can either share a house with friends or live in a room on your own if you have enough money.
In addition, there are 20 bamboo/wooden courtyard houses that can accommodate 10 to 50 people. Currently, Taoyuan Inn is empty, with no guests staying in its nine guest rooms.
There are still some vacant courtyard houses, so Mingzhu thinks that it is not appropriate to build an 8-story stone antique apartment building at present.
There are still 10 buildings. What's the matter? 184 thinks that someone from the Dawn Base will secretly come to the Taoyuan Base to settle down?
