Xilin Province, a large shelter.
A martial arts club with good business was closing its doors today, which was a rare sight.
"Master, are you really going to leave here and go to that Tree Shade Shelter?"
A white and fat apprentice in a martial arts uniform asked in surprise.
The martial arts school's master was in his early fifties, but he was actually in his seventies. His name was Gong Zhangping, and he ran a "Changping Martial Arts School". Although the scale wasn't as big as the largest martial arts schools in the shelter, the business was not bad.
As the only master of the martial arts school, Gong Zhangping had some gray hair on his temples. His face was kind, and his arms were exposed from the loose martial arts uniform without showing his muscles.
But the apprentices in the school knew their master's strength. He was very strong. He was a person who pursued martial arts wholeheartedly. Compared to the masters of the major martial arts schools, he was no worse. If their master wasn't bad at running the school, the scale of the Changping Martial Arts School would be a few levels higher.
Now that Gong Zhangping said he wanted to give up running the martial arts school and travel thousands of miles to the Tree Shade, the apprentices were puzzled.
"Yes, only in the Tree Shade, in the Extreme Martial Arts School, can we find the real martial arts." Gong Zhangping's tone was calm, his eyes were firm, containing the determination to seek the truth.
The white and fat apprentice said with a sad face:
"But master, you're already very strong. People say you're one of the few people in the shelter who really know martial arts. Why go to the Tree Shade? Besides, it's just a rumor. An apprentice from the Tree Shade can defeat a demonic beast three levels higher? This must be fake! "
"Junior brother is right. The Tree Shade is thousands of miles away from here. Even if you're strong, there's still a lot of danger along the way. You don't have to risk your life for a rumor!"
"Yes, yes. And master, if you leave, what about the martial arts school?"
In the courtyard, a dozen people wearing martial arts uniforms printed with the word "Changping" hurriedly said. They were all Gong Zhangping's apprentices in the past few months after the doomsday.
They were all orphans. Their parents were killed by demonic beasts. Gong Zhangping brought them back and taught them martial arts. Now, the strongest of these apprentices deserved the title of master.
Gong Zhangping's gaze swept past his disciple's face, which was either young or maturing. He smiled in gratification.
"I've made up my mind. If you're willing, you can follow me to pursue martial arts. If you're unwilling, you can stay here. I'll keep the martial arts hall, and you can continue to run it. With your strength, it's enough to teach those ordinary awakened ones."
"Going to the Tree Shade isn't as dangerous as you think. Although it's thousands of miles away, as long as we go to the Xiping Shelter 300 kilometers away and take the Tree Shade's airship, we can easily get there."
Seeing Gong Zhangping's determination in pursuing the Dao, the persuasive voice gradually softened.
Some apprentices were curious about the rumored paradise-like Tree Shade. They also had the desire to become stronger, but they were also worried about encountering danger in the wild. Even if that kind of flying ship really existed, there was still more than 300 kilometers to travel. No matter how strong Gong Zhangping was, he might not be able to protect everyone.
In the wilderness, one could encounter unimaginable dangers at any time.
Many disciples backed off when they heard that the dojo could continue to operate.
They didn't want to give up such a lifestyle. They didn't want to give it up.
In the end, only the eldest apprentice and the youngest apprentice were willing to leave with their master.
Gong Zhangping saw the strongest second apprentice. His eyes flashed with joy, and he sighed in his heart, "I'll leave the dojo to you from now on."
… …
"This is the recent situation of the outsiders in the shelter."
Tang Yu took the information from Chen Haiping and flipped through it.
Every day, the territory's new population was stable at more than 500 people. "Not bad, and these newly arrived hunters are at the 7th or 8th stage."
"Yes." Chen Haiping showed a gratified smile, "Our Tree Shade's name has spread. Not only because of the rune equipment, but also because many people regard us as a holy place for cultivation. It can be said that the stronger the hunter, the more they feel the bottleneck of becoming stronger, the more they yearn for us."
Many people believed the truth of the rumors. It was because the adventurers who walked out of the Tree Shade had shown strength far beyond their level, which made the Tree Shade's reputation spread quickly.
In the past, it was limited to the higher-ups of the major shelters. But now, almost everyone in Tiannan Province knew about it. Even in the neighboring provinces, some hunters came from thousands of miles away.
"It's just that there are too few airship flights, and the tickets are expensive. Ordinary hunters can't afford it." Chen Haiping sighed.
Tang Yu couldn't do anything about it. He just said, "Let the people in the Registration Office and Publicity Department pay more attention to attracting talents, especially good seedlings. Don't miss them. Of course, don't let those troublemakers go. It's best to catch them and send them to the mine. The two newly opened mines are recently short of workers."
In the office, the two talked for a few minutes, and Tang Yu instructed Old Chen to do some tasks.
Old Chen was now doing these clerical work more and more smoothly. He used to complain, but now he was completely enjoying it. He seemed to have forgotten the fact that he used to be a veteran.
"That's good."
Tang Yu muttered in his heart.
Probably because of the improvement of his life level, Chen Haiping reduced his sleep time, increased his brain operation speed, and greatly improved his work efficiency. Now that he thought about it, he didn't have to consider the manpower to share Old Chen's work.
"By the way, there's a large auction in five days. Just put the space backpack and the town portal scroll in there to test the waters."
… …
After sending Chen Haiping away, Tang Yu also began to do business.
These days, he was obsessed with possessing the Night Nightmare Puppet. After the territory leveled up, there were many buildings that he hadn't explored yet.
Sinking his mind into his mind, a lifelike 3D map of the territory appeared in his mind. Most of the buildings only had an illusory outline, but some of them were solid and shimmering.
As his thoughts converged on these buildings, the corresponding description appeared.
These were all system buildings. Tang Yu could remotely upgrade them. But after thinking about it, he didn't stay in the castle anymore. He got up and walked out of the castle.
It might be easier to see the effects of the upgrade if he observed it up close.
His first stop was the crystal jade rice planting area.
The planting area was opened outside the city, covering an area of hundreds of acres. But only a few dozen acres of land were actually planted with crystal jade rice. It was divided into nine scattered areas. This was to better absorb the outside world's energy when the crystal jade rice was growing.
Tang Yu observed for a moment and muttered in his mind to upgrade the farm.
The farmland that consumed a huge amount of spirit stones to upgrade to level 6 wasn't much different from before, except the color was a little darker. But Tang Yu observed through the "Eye of Insight" and found that the growth cycle of crystal jade rice was shortened by 13%.
A considerable amount of time.
After instructing the farm staff to take good care of it and record the data, Tang Yu quickly left.
Most of the farms in the territory were only level 1 and level 2 farms. They grew ordinary crops and didn't need to be upgraded. Only the crystal jade rice planting area and the medicinal herb planting area in the valley behind the mountain were upgraded to the highest level.
The three farms in the medicinal herb planting area were also quickly upgraded by him.
Many of the medicinal herbs' growth time had been shortened to different degrees. To Tang Yu's surprise, the awakening fruit plants that could only be maintained without wilting showed signs of growth under the effect of the level 6 farmland.
These fruits could help people awaken, and they also had the effect of tapping and enhancing potential.
Small quantity might not be useful, but it's a different story if it could be planted indefinitely.
Tang Yu tried upgrading the training camp warehouse, war altar, teleportation array, and many other defensive buildings to the highest level and studied their effects.
The most intuitive point was that Tang Yu's combat power had greatly improved under the Pay-To-Win Mode.
He felt like beating Yan Dingtian was no longer a problem.
He walked into the Spell Factory.
[Ding! Spell Factory upgraded to level 3. ]
[Ding! Spell Factory's spell slots increased to 9.] [Ding!
[Ding! Spell Factory can produce tier 2 large-scale spells. ]
[Ding! Each tier 2 spell needs to occupy 2 spell slots. ]
