Chapter 427
A large shelter in Xilin Province.
A well-known martial arts gym closed its doors on a rare occasion today.
“Master, do you really want to leave here and go to that Tree Shade shelter?” The chubby elementary school dressed in martial arts uniforms asked in surprise.
The martial arts master looked like he was in his early fifties, but he was actually in his seventies. He called Gong Changping, and he ran a “Changping Martial Arts Center.” Although it was not as large as the largest large-scale martial arts centers in the shelter, the business was not bad.
As the only master in the martial arts gym, Gong Changping had a little gray hair on the temples, a kind face, and his arms showed no muscles from the loose martial arts uniforms.
However, the apprentices in the museum knew that the master was formidable. He was a person who was dedicated to martial arts. Compared with the masters who were in the main martial arts halls. If it is not for the poor management of their own masters, the scale of the Changping martial arts hall might be a mult.i.tude higher.
Now Gong Changping said that he would abandon the martial arts hall he was operating and rushed to Tree Shade all the way, and the apprentices were puzzled.
“Yes, only in the Tree Shade, in the Ultimate Martial Arts School, can you find the real martial arts.” Gong Changping’s tone was calm, his eyes were firm, and he was determined to seek the truth.
The chubby little apprentice was crying. “But master, you are already very strong. Others say that you are a few people who really know martial arts in the shelter. Why go to the Tree Shade? Besides, it is just a rumor… Apprentices who come out of the Tree Shade can beat the third-level demonic beast? This must be fake!”
“My little junior is right. Besides, Tree Shade is thousands of miles away from us. Even if you are a powerful master, there are many dangers along the way, and you don’t need to take a risk for a rumor!”
“Yeah, and master, if you are gone, how about this martial arts gym?”
A dozen people wearing martial arts uniforms in the courtyard with the word Changping surrounded the old master. They were all orphans, and their parents were killed by demonic beasts. Gong Changping brought them back and taught them martial arts. Now, the strongest of these apprentices can be called masters.
Gong Changping glanced over the face of his immature or mature apprentice and smiled comfortingly, “I have decided. If you are willing, you can follow me to pursue martial arts. If you don’t want to, you can stay here. I keep the martial arts hall open, so you can continue to study here. With your strength, it is enough to teach an ordinary hunter .”
“Going to the Tree Shade is not as dangerous as you think. Although it is thousands of miles away, as long as we go to the Xiping Sanctuary, which is 300 kilometers away and board the flying ship.”
Seeing Gong Changping’s determination to seek the truth, the voice of persuasion gradually lowered.
Some apprentices were curious about the rumored Tree Shade, and they also had a desire to become stronger. Still, they were worried about encountering danger in the wild-even if that kind of flying ship really existed, there were still more than three hundred kilometers to go. No matter how strong Gong Changping was, he might not be able to protect each of them.
Unimaginable dangers might be encountered in the wild at any time.
Many apprentices flinched when they heard that the martial arts hall could continue to operate. There was a lot of income without hard work, and they didn’t want to give up such a life.
In the end, only the elder brother and the youngest apprentice were willing to follow the master to leave.
When Gong Changping saw the two most powerful apprentices, with a flash of joy in his eyes, he sighed in his heart, “From now on, the martial arts gym will be handed over to you.”
…..
“This is the recent situation of outsiders in the shelter.”
Tang Yu took the information brought by Chen Haiping and turned it over.
Every day, the new population of the territory has stabilized at more than five hundred. “That’s good, and there are many new hunters who are at level eight or seven.”
“Yes.” Chen Haiping showed a relieved smile, “Our Tree Shade’s name has been spread, not only because of magical equipment but also many people regard our Tree Shade as a holy place for cultivation. It can be said that the more powerful the Tree Shade is, the more hunter will come here.”
Many people believed in the authenticity of the rumors.
It was because the adventurers who went out from the Tree Shade showed the strength far surpa.s.sing from the same level and made the Tree Shade’s reputation spread quickly.
It was limited to the top of the major shelters in the past, but now, in Tiannan Province, almost everyone knew about it. Even in the neighboring provinces, some hunters have come all the way.
“It’s just that the airplanes are too few and the fares are expensive, and ordinary hunters can’t pay.” Chen Haiping sighed.
Tang Yu had no choice but to say, “Let the people at the registration office and the marketing department pay more attention to attracting talents, especially good seedlings. Don’t miss it… Of course, don’t let go of those talented people. It’s best to catch them all. The mine is in full swing, and the two newly opened mines are currently short of workers.”
The two people in the office communicated for a few minutes, and Tang Yu ordered some tasks for Lao Chen.
Lao Chen is now more and more comfortable doing these civilian jobs. He always complained before, but now he is enjoying it… It seems that he has forgotten the fact that he was a veteran.
“fair enough,” Tang Yu muttered in his heart.
Probably the improvement in life level has allowed Chen Haiping to reduce his sleep time, increase the speed of his brain, and greatly increase his work efficiency. Now that he thinks about it, he doesn’t need to share the manpower for Lao Chen.
“By the way, there will be a big auction in five days. Just put the s.p.a.ce backpack and the return to town scroll in to try the water.”
…
After Chen Haiping was sent away, Tang Yu also began to do his business.
These days, he has been obsessed with collecting nightmare puppets. After the upgrade of his territory, he has not carried out deep excavations of many buildings. His mind sank into the system, and a lifelike three-dimensional map of the territory appeared in his mind. Most of the buildings have only an illusory outline glowing with dim light.
Thoughts gathered on these buildings, and corresponding explanations emerged.
These were all system buildings. Tang Yu could upgrade remotely, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t have the house and got up and walked out of the castle.
If he were to observe closely, it might be easier to find the effect of the upgrade.
The first stop, Tang Yu, came to the Jingyu rice planting area.
The planting area was opened outside the city. It covered hundreds of acres, but only tens of acres of land were actually planted with crystal jade rice, divided into nine scattered areas, allowing the rice to absorb more nutrients from the soil and sun.
Tang Yu observed for a while, silently thinking of the upgrade of the farm.
The farmland that has consumed a huge amount of source crystals to be upgraded to level 6 was not much different from before, except that the color was darker. However, through the observation of the “eye of insight”, Tang Yu found that the growth cycle of crystal jade rice was shortened to 13%.
A very considerable time.
After instructing the people on the farm to take good care of them and record the data, Tang Yu hurried away.
Most of the farms in the territory were only first-level and second-level farms. They grew ordinary crops and did not need to be upgraded. Only the crystal jade rice planting area and the medicinal material planting area in the back mountain valley have been upgraded to the highest level.
He quickly upgraded the three farms in the medicinal planting area.
The growth time of many medicinal materials has been shortened in different ways. To Tang Yu’s surprise, the awakening fruit plants showed signs of growth under the influence of the level 6 farmland.
These fruits could help people awaken, and they also can tap and enhance their potential.
The quant.i.ty was small, and it might be of little use, but it would be different if it could be planted indefinitely.
Tang Yu tried to reach the highest level and studied their effects for training camp warehouses, war altars, teleportation arrays, and many defensive buildings.
The most interesting point was that Tang Yu’s combat power had been greatly improved in the Krypton Crystal mode.
He felt that it was no longer a problem to talk about it now.
He walked into the spell factory.
“Ding! The spell factory has been upgraded to level 3.”
“Ding! The spell factory has 9 spell slots.”
“Ding! The spell factory can make second-tier large-scale spells.”
“Ding! Every second-tier spell needs to occupy 2 spell slots.”
The prompt sound continued, and Tang Yu’s eyes gradually brightened.
