Chapter 660
Chapter 660: Chapter 593 Small Gathering Chapter 660: Chapter 593 Small Gathering The base area, after several rounds of expansion, had now completely stabilized.
Now, only Pioneers and some original residents with unique skills could live here, making it the core of the entire New Development Zone.
On the airport runway, there were also some added bulging-bellied transport planes.
After receiving some industrial blessings from the World of Avatar, even with the different rules across worlds, it was still possible to aid in recovery significantly.
After all, there was still a lot to salvage around these parts.
A number of nuclear bombs had been dug up; given their fission effects, high-concentration nuclear materials were just the thing to use as power generators.
Not only that, but their usage time would be longer, and their efficiency higher.
The base also had ongoing missions to purchase nuclear bombs, and the prices, compared to ordinary commodities, were quite decent.
And within the base area, the most important thing, without a doubt, was the “Scripture Depository”—the heart of the New Development Zone.
It was also the most prestigious service the New Development Zone had to offer.
Wish-Power Superconductive Ore and Spices, although both were unique, would certainly not influence the short term like the “Scripture Depository” could.
Other cities in the New Development Zone had also discovered Inner Power, but none had a systemized approach like the Suns, not to mention having people already prepared and packaged.
The “Scripture Depository” area was separately divided into a military camp for allocation and had even undergone some specialized optimization and repairs.
Grandmasters and some special Chosen Ones each possessed their private lofts.
In the middle of the Gobi environment, they managed to create a garden oasis, with many drought-resistant Wish-Power plants covering the area, giving the whole place a different vibe.
But the higher the standard of the “Scripture Depository”, the more justified the expensive fees became.
Not everyone could enter the “Scripture Depository” to receive direct guidance from Martial World seniors.
Most were still purchasing Secret Manuals directly, and learning the basics of meridians and acupoints in classroom settings outside.
The busiest service was for the younger generation of disciples, such as the third-generation disciples of Quanzhen.
Though it had been a while since the “Scripture Depository” had been developed, the entry difficulty of the Inner Power system was still present, with ordinary Pioneers usually spending several months mastering the basics.
They then chose a system based on their desires and talents and slowly adapted, starting from the basic Mind Methods and techniques.
Even those masters traveling here specifically through Teleportation Devices, who already had some understanding of energy manipulation, still needed to spend extra time and effort to master this new system.
Fortunately, the current time investment was still proving cost-effective for learners.
The unobtainium quality of the Inner Power System was indeed easily filling in the gaps.
And there, within the “Scripture Depository” gardens, evoking an oasis in the desert, in a newly built wooden courtyard with an Ancient aura yet equipped with electricity, a scent of cooking wafted out.
Merely smelling it made one salivate.
Shirou Emiya and Huang Rong displayed their culinary magic, creating dishes of completely different styles, yet each delectable on the same dining table.
This sent Hong Qigong, who had come to sponge a meal and still looked a bit shabby, into a fit of rosy-cheeked delight.
“How can this be, how can this be, Lady Huang and young Shirou’s culinary skills are both at the pinnacle, it really is thanks to Brother Tao’s considerable influence…”
And Huang Rong, who was busily arranging the plating for a freshly baked squirrel fish, showed a hint of helplessness on her charming face,
“Master Zhang, we’ve known each other for so long, when will you finally stop with the formalities?”
“Ha ha, Rong’er, you might be Old Zhang’s future mother-in-law, how could he possibly change how he addresses you?”
An old man in patched-up clothes, looking even worse off than Zhang Sanfeng, laughed heartily.
The nine fingers on his hands were somewhat noticeable.
Even Hong Qigong had made his way to the Development Zone, and the affairs of Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang were no big secrets.
When the Beggar’s Sect made the arduous journey from the “Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber” world seeking refuge with the Beggar’s Sect at its pinnacle, it naturally couldn’t be hidden anymore.
“Hmph, the stinking beggar sits at the table to eat and still can’t stop wagging his tongue.
All this food still can’t block your mouth.”
Huang Rong glared at Hong Qigong, clearly not amused.
This time, the team-building event had a good number of participants.
In addition to them, Rin Tohsaka, Illyasviel, Yang Guo, Mikasa, and Jack had also gathered, practically a small assembly of Chosen Ones.
Fortunately, Sun Shiyu and the others placed high value on capable people, each having their own small loft with ample space to accommodate everyone.
The younger ones played board games, the older generation drank and bragged, and with the addition of top-notch chefs Shirou Emiya and Huang Rong, as well as Illyasviel’s two maids scurrying around, the atmosphere was lively and well-organized.
Tao Shi, who was participating for the first time, was obviously a bit restrained at the moment.
Even though he had come to accept the fact that he had an awesome elder brother and had been looked after under his brother’s fame, he still felt quite uncomfortable being brought into such a high-level group.
“I didn’t introduce you earlier because I was afraid you’d be too reliant.
I wanted you to experience things on your own first.
Now that you’ve somewhat adjusted, it’s time to get to know some friends and seniors.
A sweet tongue can bring you benefits.”
Tao Shi’s talent was average, his Dynamic Vision ability was considered standard, but since he had methodically chosen the path of Inner Strength, Tao Yu would naturally pave the way for him.
However, constantly spoon-feeding him would also leave him lacking in decisiveness, so it was necessary to find the right balance.
No matter what, he would receive the care he deserved out of respect for Tao Yu.
“Your brother is much more upright than you.”
Pharmacist Huang glanced at Tao Yu.
“Well, Master, you don’t like dull people either, do you?”
Tao Yu’s words made the straightforward Guo Jing next to him laugh.@@novelbin@@
In the past, Pharmacist Huang didn’t particularly like him.
Through some casual conversation at this team-building event, Tao Yu learned about some of the more intricate recent developments.
Although the New Development Zone was somewhat tense recently,
for the Scripture Depository, it was still the same leisurely days of teaching, playing chess, and practicing martial arts.
It was quite comfortable.
The convergence of many martial arts masters also sparked many ingenious ideas, gradually advancing the progress of the Martial World.
Outstanding among them was Zhang Sanfeng, who had famously turned the tide and repelled the invading Fortune Thieves when the stronghold’s defenders were drawn away and the residing experts sparse.
Despite the external pressures causing unease, the overall development of the base was making significant strides forward.
Farms for Wish-Power Crops had already begun operating, with special merchant teams taking seeds and technicians to several martial arts worlds to promote the cultivation of Wish-Power Crops there as well.
The World Breakers who were supplemented via the Teleportation Device played a crucial role.
These newcomers could carry out guarding and escorting tasks.
“World Breakers are limited in number.
There might be a few disguising themselves under special circumstances or who have been turned in secret, but they wouldn’t dare to expose themselves easily.
So far, it is only on the League of Interceptors’ side that we’ve encountered enemies at the World Breaker level.”
Zhang Sanfeng casually mentioned the situation the last time he took action.
“For now, although they have some sort of cooperation, the relationship doesn’t seem to be that tight.”
“Yeah, the Fortune Thieves might not be united as one.”
Now that Esdeath had transformed into her own form, Tao Yu naturally knew even more…
What do you think?
