Chapter 169 Construction
Time flew by. Lin Xia had someone make a special plan for the island, dividing it into different areas. Building houses and survival points was no problem for Lin Xia.
People saw all kinds of high-rise buildings springing up, and in less than a day, the whole island became lively.
She designated a specific area as the island's exclusive territory, where she set up commercial streets, auction houses, and the like.
However, high-grade protective shields are too expensive, and Lin Xia only intends to use this medium-sized island as a place open to the public, so she will not install them.
This led to many people who went to the other islands being very dissatisfied, especially after leaving Dongcheng Island, they discovered that the outside world was so barren of energy, and their cultivation speed was not even one-tenth as fast as that on Dongcheng Island.
This caused a huge sense of disappointment among the people, who complained incessantly in the chat channel. However, as more and more people landed on the island, they gradually became busy, and their busyness left them no time to complain anymore.
Given Lin Xia's power, no one dared to commit murder or arson under her nose. The laws and order on Dongcheng Island had long been known, and no one dared to easily provoke her.
Lin Xia ignored the trivial matters of checking in. Now, holding the 'Rubik's Cube' in her hand, she wondered, "Did this thing come back with me?"
Regardless, if used properly, it's a good thing. Lin Xia was completely absorbed in it for a moment.
Even if it can't be made, it's still easy to use. Moreover, the array formulas inside are very suitable for Lin Xia to learn. She listed the arrays separately and tried to set them up with energy stones. She succeeded on her first try.
This delighted her. Creating something new is difficult, but copying it is very simple. Medium-sized islands don't have protective shields or as many patrol teams, so there are still loopholes. Lin Xia wanted to set up an array, but she really didn't have the ability to create a large-scale array.
After some thought, they set up arrays in places like the island's library, school, and auction house, requiring identification for entry and exit, and having people go there regularly to exchange energy stones.
Having unlocked various survival scenarios within the Rubik's Cube, Lin Xia felt it would be a waste not to make use of them; wasn't this just a simplified version of a survival game?
Lin Xia meticulously edited the Rubik's Cube, cutting off all devices that could emit signals outwards, setting the time to enter each scene, and setting the save point to the time to exit.
In short, this Rubik's Cube was actually set up as a holographic game mode, allowing people to exercise inside. Those who had never been in the game could experience it in advance, while those who had been in the game could choose a post-apocalyptic setting they had never been to before to gain experience.
This Rubik's Cube is more convenient than holographic games. Once you enter the dome, you can directly connect to your mental energy without needing any other medium. The downside is that you have to go inside to use it.
It turns on at 8 a.m. every day and turns off promptly at 8 p.m.
Lin Xia placed it on the eastern side of Dongcheng Island, at the junction with the medium-sized island, where there is a small energy mine that can power the Rubik's Cube.
Entry and exit points were set up on the two islands. The number of people on Dongcheng Island was not controlled, and anyone could enter. The number of people on the medium-sized island was controlled at 300 per day.
People from Dongcheng Island can enter for free, but those from medium-sized islands must pay one low-grade energy stone each time they enter.
Once it opened, it quickly became a place that everyone longed for. People lined up every day for the medium-sized island, and it even gradually developed into a queuing business. The daily cost of a spot to enter was dozens or even hundreds of times more expensive than the price of entering the Rubik's Cube.
People from Dongcheng Island can enter at will, which makes others envious. Many people go there specifically to experience the apocalypse, and then go live to explain how to cope with different apocalyptic scenarios.
Gradually, people also created new energy vehicles and started a bus service on the island. Life on Dongcheng Island slowly returned to the way everyone longed for.
At this time, the main island of Dongcheng Island was already in a closed mode, and no unrelated people were allowed to enter or leave.
The second island that can be redeemed has a reception area and is always open to the outside world.
This puts the people who have joined Dongcheng Island at ease. Their families are in the safest place, so they can go out and do whatever they want without any worries.
After so much time, the people on Yunya's island also know that Lin Xia has no intention of competing for it. However, they are all very shrewd at this time and are communicating with Dongcheng Island, wanting to send people into the Rubik's Cube every day.
After finishing this task, Lin Xia didn't pay much attention to it anymore. Besides keeping an eye on energy consumption, she also had to arrange for robots to search for energy mines.
Because the energy on Dongcheng Island does not leak out, the energy on the island gathers into a gaseous state, and the entire island is shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.
At this time, the island was full of people who had joined Dongcheng Island and their families. Lin Xia then had Ji Wei and the others teach the fourth to sixth forms of the 'Spark Body Tempering Method' in the square as a benefit for the island's inhabitants.
This way, the energy cluster, which is like smoke and mist, isn't wasted.
Lin Xia adopted the eleventh and twelfth stances, and her mental strength increased very quickly. Lin Xia only dared to train for two hours a day.
She always felt that it was not a good thing for her mental strength to increase too quickly; she should allow herself more time to mature.
Lin Xia sleeps very little these days. She can fall asleep as soon as she lies down, and she doesn't feel sleepy even if she doesn't sleep. But today, she seemed to have made up her mind and lay down.
The feeling of entering a dream while fully conscious is like traversing space. She walks in the dream space, where she can receive the mental signals of everyone on the planet.
Looking at the pitch-black earth beneath her feet, Lin Xia had a feeling that she could break through this space and enter the collective subconscious sea at any time if she wanted to.
As her mental energy slowly probed in, the scene before Lin Xia changed in an instant. Just then, Lin Xia felt something detach from her mental energy.
Her expression changed, but she immediately realized that it was 'Time Amber'.
She had always believed that the Time Amber had flowed into the collective subconscious sea from her spiritual power, but now she realized that it was just her illusion. These Time Ambers were stuck at the boundary and could not enter on their own.
This time, as her mental energy probed into the sea of ​​subconsciousness, they all detached from Lin Xia's mental energy and slowly sank into the deep blue ocean in front of her.
What surprised Lin Xia was the sheer number of Time Ambers. She had thought it was just the two she had seen, but it turned out to be all the worlds she had ever visited.
The entry of the Time Amber caused the entire space to tremble, and a vast aura spread out, filling the entire space with an indescribable atmosphere. Lin Xia's mental power was forced out immediately, and in that instant, she saw wisps of black smoke being shaken out from her subconscious sea and turning into nothingness.
She encountered an unexpected situation as soon as she entered, and was ejected within two seconds, before she even had a chance to experience anything.
Lin Xia suddenly touched the corner of her eye, and tears actually flowed out. An indescribable joy mixed with sadness welled up in her heart, causing her tears to fall uncontrollably.
She didn't try to control herself too much. As her emotions subsided, a sense of clarity welled up in her heart, making her feel completely clear-headed.
