Chapter 302 Holy Spirit City
Two hours later, inside Holy Spirit City.
"Miaolin, you've been staring at me for almost an hour. Is there something on my face?"
Jiang Yan looked at the girl who came out to greet him, feeling both amused and exasperated.
"Hmph, who told you to go away for more than two years and not come back? I sent you so many messages and you didn't reply to a single one. Of course I have to make up for what I owe you."
Li Miaolin snorted softly, and only after seeing that the other person was indeed alright did she breathe a sigh of relief.
He immediately said with an unfriendly expression, "Didn't you say it was a very simple mission, the kind you could kill with a flick of your hand? Why did it take so long?"
Jiang Yan's expression hardened, and he quickly said, "It's really simple. The reason they didn't reply to the messages is because those areas have lost connection with the other worlds. If you don't believe me, ask Anna. Didn't I kill that Zerg big boss in one move? It's just that the area is too big, and it took a while to clean up the remnants."
“That’s right. Under the Holy Lord’s divine power, those evil spirits are no match for him.”
Analia echoed knowingly, her eyes clear and reverent, making it impossible not to believe her.
"Is that really so?" Li Miaolin paused slightly, her gaze returning to the angel beside her.
She had read the latest edition of the Chronicle of the Holy Light Church and biographical novels from mainland China, which described angels as "kind, beautiful, just, and honest..." and would never lie.
"Of course, you've forgotten, I am the lord of the first pantheon, what can possibly stump me?"
Jiang Yan casually changed the subject: "By the way, when I came back, I saw that they were recruiting people with various special skills outside Holy Spirit City. Did you approve that?"
Besides himself and the high-ranking officials of the two pantheons, the only people in Holy Spirit City qualified to participate in decision-making were Yaberic, who had been sent to Asar for special training, and Li Miaolin, who had been stationed in Holy Spirit City for a long time.
"Hmm...I guess so."
Li Miaolin rolled her eyes at Jiang Yan and didn't ask any more questions. After all, as long as he returned safely, that was all that mattered.
"Originally, I just asked the manager of the Freedom City office to keep an eye out for some outstanding support professionals. Later, the manager sent a message saying that he had also discovered many other types of outstanding talents."
"Considering that Holy City has expanded rapidly in recent years and indeed needs to recruit talents of all types, I agreed and set up a temporary passage in Freedom City."
"Those who want to join need to first participate in the Free City's assessment at their own expense. Only those who meet the basic requirements can come to Holy Spirit City through the teleportation channel for the next assessment. This not only filters out a group of people who want to take advantage of the situation, but also promotes the development of additional economic industries."
"Economic and industrial development?" Jiang Yan repeated, somewhat surprised.
"yes."
Li Miaolin seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but laugh: "The manager of the Free City under your command really knows a little bit about everything. He took the opportunity to send people to open such a class as 'Guaranteed Passing Class for Holy Spirit City Interviews,' 'Senior Employee Lecture of Holy Spirit City,' and 'Essential Teaching Materials,' and even advertised an 80% refund if you don't pass, saying that since there is no cost, taking only 20% is still a net profit."
"They even printed some pirated publications, claiming they were specifically for people with financial difficulties."
"The steward of the City of Freedom... Oh, so it's him."
Jiang Yan thought about it carefully and remembered that when he first returned from the Abyss Battlefield, he did indeed send a missionary to stay there to handle affairs.
At the time, it also helped him secure many endorsements from Freedom City companies, earning him a large amount of Soul Crystals.
"He is indeed a talented person."
Jiang Yan nodded. He had promised to give the other party a name if things went well, and it seemed he could keep his promise when he went to the City of Freedom next time.
"But hiring so many extra people all at once, did it cause you any trouble?"
Li Miaolin looked at Jiang Yan: "I sent you a message back then, but you didn't reply for a long time, so I took it upon myself to do it."
"Of course not. In fact, this is far from enough. I came back this time with the intention of moving this place to a bigger world. At that time, we will need more manpower to build and spread the faith."
Jiang Yan smiled.
"Move the entire plane to another world? Good heavens, even a high-ranking god couldn't do that."
Upon hearing this, Li Miaolin's eyes widened slightly.
This operation was completely beyond her imagination.
"Of course, even the Supreme God couldn't do it."
Jiang Yan smiled faintly. The novice plane is a world sealed by all realms. If it does not allow it, then even the Supreme One's efforts will be in vain.
However, given his current status and contributions, it shouldn't be a problem for him to get help from the various realms with this small favor.
"When are we leaving? Will it be dangerous?" After a while, Li Miaolin asked, regaining her senses.
"Let's hurry. It's not dangerous. At most, the world will experience some violent tremors and spatial anomalies. Given the architectural standards of our Holy Spirit City, it shouldn't be affected."
Jiang Yan thought for a moment, then turned and instructed, "Anna, go and inform them to close all teleportation channels, suspend the assessment, and let those outsiders find a place to settle down first."
“Yes, Holy Lord.” Analia nodded and turned to fly out of the city.
"Miaolin, is there anything you need to prepare?"
"Yes, some enchanted arrays and forges require stable magic. Also, unstable materials need to be stored away. Otherwise, if vibrations cause them to mix, it could easily lead to an explosion..."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Jiang Yan waved his hand, and a beam of light descended, instantly placing the two of them in the research center behind Holy Spirit City.
This place has been expanded three times by the dwarves, and it is several times larger than the last time I came.
At this moment, each support class member, dressed in specially enchanted protective suits, was busy researching their own topics.
Occasionally, when someone sees Jiang Yan and his companion, they simply nod slightly in acknowledgment before turning away and immersing themselves in their own world.
"good."
Seeing this, Jiang Yan smiled instead; this was the attitude a researcher should have.
Li Miaolin gently pressed the badge on her chest and gave a few instructions.
This is a specially made enchanted communicator. When triggered, it generates a gentle vibration that slowly awakens those immersed in research without suddenly interrupting their train of thought or disturbing their work.
A moment later, some people put down their work and began to classify and apply protective barriers to various props according to instructions.
"It will take a little more time. Let me show you the latest progress here."
As she spoke, Li Miaolin took Jiang Yan's hand and began to introduce them as they walked.
"That's the forging center for spirit weapon masters. Thanks to the breakthrough in the folding enchantment array, we can now forge legendary equipment with up to eight layers of enchantment. Look..."
Jiang Yan looked in the direction the other person was pointing. It was a set of women's armor made entirely of gold, with six slots on the back for inlaying.
"This was crafted for angels. In addition to standard defensive enchantments, it also applies auxiliary effects such as speed boost, mana gathering, and transformation. Furthermore, the rear slots can be fitted with custom-made armored wings, depending on the number of angels' wings, for protection..."
"What about production volume and costs?"
"Assuming sufficient materials, approximately 100 sets can be crafted every ten days, at a cost of around 150 million soul crystals. How about that? Is it helpful to you?" Li Miaolin asked, her eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
Jiang Yan's face showed surprise.
It should be noted that even the most ordinary True God's Relic is only at the level of ten layers of enchantment.
These eight layers of enchantment even surpassed the standard equipment he had previously purchased from the First Merchant Guild at great expense.
At that time, even equipment with only six layers of enchantment required 200 million soul crystals per piece.
It's incredible that they surpassed tens of thousands of years of research in just a few years.
Although the knowledge passed down by the third emperor accounted for at least 90% of the work.
But for an ordinary person to be able to apply this knowledge to this extent in such a short period of time is definitely not an easy thing.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan said with emotion, "Yes, of course it helps, and quite a bit. If the entire Angel Legion were equipped with such armor, it would increase their combat power by at least 20%."
"That's good."
Upon hearing this, the girl beside him also laughed happily.
