After giving away the Microworld Inn, Chen Yang's life didn't actually change much. He simply went from being a hands-off owner to being unemployed.
He now spends more time learning skills in the real world.
For example, he really enjoys carpentry.
Since Chen Yang had money, he bought the houses around the old inn and converted one of them into a carpentry workshop, where he made some things.
Yu Xuan also came often, but although Yu Xuan's carpentry was better than Chen Yang's, it wasn't actually that much better.
Yu Xuan is a wood carver, not a carpenter.
Chen Yang has been in the micro-world for quite some time. He often does carpentry work, and his carpentry skills are already quite good. When making some children's furniture for Xiao Mumu, he specifically studied and refined his skills for a period of time.
However, he still wanted to continue his research and create a nice set of furniture for himself.
Besides carpentry, he also worked as a blacksmith, setting up a foundry with Hong Gui.
Hong Gui moved all the equipment from the original sword-making workshop that could be moved over, and discarded the rest, building a new one here instead.
Woodworking and sword making are the two main areas Chen Yang focuses on, in addition to ceramics.
Similarly, he also set up a kiln, which was next to the sword-making workshop.
Chen Yang had been involved in ceramics for a short time after entering the Microverse, so he had some experience in it. However, later on, Guo Zifeng and other Microverse residents did the work, while he went to work as a blacksmith.
These three skills are all techniques that can be studied for a lifetime. Even if Chen Yang is exceptionally talented in everything he does now, it would be difficult for him to reach the pinnacle in all three.
Most importantly, he lacks a craftsman's spirit, which is something he has always regretted.
The only thing he has persisted in and continued to study in depth is probably martial arts. Even though his level is already higher than that of Grandpa Yun, he still feels that martial arts can be further refined.
Chen Yang knew he lacked the spirit of a craftsman, but he did have talent, so he simply made use of his talent and learned three subjects at once.
Guo Zifeng admitted that his skills in ceramics were insufficient, but he could still teach Chen Yang. However, he still introduced someone to Chen Yang.
He was an old craftsman whom he and Xing Tu apprenticed under when they were learning ceramic techniques in Jingdezhen. This old man had been firing kilns for generations and had spent his whole life working with clay. He was a true craftsman.
After meeting the old craftsman, Chen Yang introduced him to the Micro Realm, and the old craftsman officially took charge of the kiln firing work in the Micro Realm.
Chen Yang also took the opportunity to ask him for advice.
Chen Yang did not set any goals or plans for himself, but adjusted his daily study content according to his own learning progress.
Learning carpentry from an old carpenter, sword casting from Monte, and pottery throwing and firing from an old kiln craftsman in Jingdezhen, Chen Yang's days were quite fulfilling.
He is truly gifted. After his soul was cleansed, he had already maxed out his talent points. Learning anything is twice as efficient, no, ten times as efficient.
Therefore, even though he was learning all three skills at the same time, Chen Yang made rapid progress.
He plans to use his skills to replace all the furniture, kitchenware, and tea sets in his home, and then craft several swords to collect or give away.
While learning these skills, Chen Yang also began building his own little house in the outer area. The RV was still parked there, and it would be parked next to the little house in the future.
This time, he took it very seriously. He personally went to Yunshi's studio and worked with the studio staff to create a set of blueprints before collecting materials.
If there are readily available materials, he won't waste time sawing wood. Why make things difficult for himself when there are good things to have?
He selects only the most suitable wood; it's not about using the most expensive wood, but also about using different types of wood for different locations.
Chen Yang was very experienced in building houses, so he didn't need anyone else's help. Since he wasn't in a hurry to use it, he could take his time and build the house step by step.
The outer realms are not yet fully developed for the inhabitants, mainly because Chen Yang doesn't have the energy to open teleportation portals for them every day.
The fixed-point teleportation portal he set up at the old inn remains the main passage, but at the suggestion of the people of the realm, he plans to open a few more fixed-point teleportation portals.
It doesn't need to be as big as the teleportation portal used by the Chinese military in the capital; it just needs to be big enough for people to get in.
The portals are set up in several places where many people gather. If people need to go, they can simply go there and enter through the portals.
Although you can't enter at any time and have to make a special trip there, it's still more convenient than making a special trip to HZ.
The land outside the boundary is free and open to the inhabitants. Once inside, Chen Yang doesn't care what they do except for immoral things like setting fire to the mountains.
However, the inhabitants of the realm are not very interested in the outer realms, because unlike the micro-realms, the souls of those in the outer realms cannot enter while they are sleeping; they must go there in person with their own bodies.
With the existence of the Micro-Boundary, the outer realms seem superfluous and unnecessary, so apart from the residents of HZ who frequently visit them, other residents rarely go there.
Compared to the micro-realm, the higher-ups in China actually pay more attention to the lands beyond the boundary.
The Outer Boundaries can be directly connected to reality without any restrictions. It can even open a portal millions of miles away to teleport one's own troops behind enemy lines.
It's practically a cheat code for war.
Fearing repercussions from the world, the military within the outer realms rarely takes action, and when it does, it keeps it secret from ordinary citizens.
However, a thousand troops in the outer area are equivalent to a hundred thousand troops in other places.
This isn't a contest of combat strength. If we're just comparing combat strength, even if all these thousand people were elites, under the same equipment conditions, their ability to challenge an army of five thousand would already be their limit.
The secrecy and surprise of the outer areas can deal a heavy blow to the enemy at critical moments and completely change the course of the battle. Saying that it is worth 100,000 people is a conservative estimate.
That's why China attaches such importance to it.
Furthermore, in the eyes of the top leadership of China, Chen Yang is worth more than a million people.
Given the current state of Earth's technology, there is no doubt that the side Chen Yang supports will win. He can openly and legitimately enter the enemy base and capture all the generals alive.
However, Chen Yang did not completely follow their orders.
This is both a bad thing and a good thing for them. If they can command Chen Yang, they are really afraid that they will become too arrogant and become the enemy of the world.
Chen Yang is quite content these days with blacksmithing, wood carving, and playing in the mud. He probably wouldn't refuse to help if needed.
As things stand, Chen Yang is the most suitable candidate to control the Outer Boundary Land; it is not appropriate to entrust it to any other person or force.
Since they have no ability to seize the land outside the boundary, they might as well let Chen Yang control it. All they need to do is maintain a good relationship with Chen Yang.
