Chapter 200 Year 2 Dry Season
"Mr. Tan, Mr. Tan." A tanned guard shouted excitedly as he ran towards the office, and knocked on the door vigorously, "Sir! Consultant Qi and Consultant Su are back!"
In the room, Tan Yilong had just returned from the gate of the city, and he heard the good news before his butt was hot.
And this good news, he just heard it about 15 minutes ago, went to the gate of the city but got a disappointed answer.
The registrar at the gate said that the teachers asked about Shanshan's whereabouts after getting the pass, but they left after a short time without even entering the gate.
It took less than 2 minutes for him to come back from the door. Now that he heard the report from the guard, he thought it was the guard who heard the previous news.
"The teachers have already left, let's go back to work." Tan Yilong opened the door and said softly.
The smile on the guard's face suddenly became hesitant: "No, sir, the two consultants are really back."
"I just went to the door to check, and I just came back." Tan Yilong sighed, "The teachers really left, you should go back first."
Hearing this, the guard became more and more hesitant, but felt that since the officer had read it, he should have left.
He responded and prepared to return to his post, muttering as he walked, "Why did you just leave?"
Did something happen along the way?He had already walked to the inner city just now, why did he leave?
The guard went downstairs, walked a few steps and saw two familiar people in front of him, isn't it Consultant Qi and Consultant Su?There was a group of people following behind him step by step, just like what he saw just now, this familiar scene lifted his spirits.
"Not leaving."
He tapped his head, turned around and ran upstairs again: "Mr. Tan, Mr. Tan, the two consultants are really back, and they are downstairs."
Tan Yilong in the room was reviewing the report. Hearing this, he put down his pen and ran out to open the door in disbelief: "What did you say?!"
"The two advisors are downstairs." The guard pointed to the floor.
Tan Yilong took a deep breath: "Did you really see it?"
"Saw!"
Tan Yilong ran down, tidied his clothes nervously, and ordered, "You, hurry up and find Captain Zhou, as well as He Tuan and Deputy Zhang."
"Eh!"
The guard followed Tan Yilong and ran down, and then ran in other directions when he was downstairs, ready to find someone. At this time, Tan Yilong had already seen Qi Jiang being brought by the registrar and several administrators from the inner city. And Su Qing, his dark skin made his eyes very red.
Tan Yilong rushed over, crying, "Teacher!"
Su Qing paused, glanced at his cultivation base, the foundation building stage, four awakenings, it's not bad.
Tan Yilong came in front of the two, bent his knees and prepared to kneel, Su Qing was startled by him, frowned, grabbed his arm and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
"Teacher, I..." Tan Yilong choked up a little, he wanted to say that without the teachers around, it was really difficult for them to persevere, but seeing Qi Jiang's disapproving eyes, he couldn't speak.
At this moment, he suddenly woke up. He is the supreme commander of Fengcheng, so he shouldn't lose his composure.
"Go upstairs first, we have a few things to discuss with you." Qi Jiang whispered.
Tan Yilong quickly recovered his mood, and when he looked up, his eyes had returned to calm, and his tone was calm: "You go to work first, I'll just entertain the two consultants."
Everyone lowered their heads, but when they turned to leave, they couldn't help turning their heads to look a few more times.
When he came to the office, Tan Yilong couldn't help but his eyes were red again, he sniffed and poured water for the two teachers: "Teacher, please drink water."
Qi Jiang was a little disgusted: "Mai Tai."
Tan Yilong bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "The students know they are wrong."
Su Qing signaled him to sit down, and took out the brochures they had made in the past few days: "Brother Jiang and I have joined an organization of the Horned Dragon Chamber of Commerce. The above are some product introductions of the Chamber of Commerce. You can take a look."
"Yes." Tan Yilong took the notebook and carefully read the introductions on it about various talismans, flying carpets and other products, his expression became more serious, and he read word by word, the more surprised he became.
There is such a thing?
However, this Kunlong Chamber of Commerce...um...how should I put it?The product is a bit like the style of the teachers?
Of course, since the teachers said it belonged to someone else, he believed it. Although he could feel that the teachers' affection for Fengcheng was much weaker than before, he also believed that the teachers would not harm anyone.
Even if he doesn't know the teachers, seeing the introduction of these products also knows how beneficial they are to the development of Fengcheng.
In addition to the product introduction, there is also a price marked on it. If Fengcheng hadn't experienced so much suffering, Tan Yilong would definitely have bought a batch and returned without saying a word.
But Fengcheng is unlucky, and also... relatively poor.
The shy Tan Yilong coughed lightly, his dark skin covered the redness of his cheeks because of embarrassment: "Teachers, I might have to discuss it with the logistics department."
The logistics department works part-time as finance, and only they know how much money Fengcheng can spend to buy things.
"It's not urgent." Qi Jiang nodded, "You can discuss it for a few days, and we will go to other cities first."
There are also several introductions about human cities in the introduction book, Tan Yilong naturally knew the benefits of the teleportation array, and thought they were going to other cities that already had teleportation arrays, and felt a little bit reluctant: "Then when will the teachers come back? I have ordered someone to notify Zhou Chen and the others, and they are probably coming soon, do you want the teachers to meet them before leaving?"
"Don't they need to work?" Qi Jiang raised his eyebrows. He originally wanted to teleport to another city through a puppet, and give the letter of introduction to the city lord of the other side, so that they can think about it. They will go back to Fengcheng and catch up with everyone at night coming.
"The last wave of worms just left, and the weather has improved recently, so everyone's work is easier." Tan Yilong explained.
Is it easy?How can it be.
The snow season must be coming soon, and there are only a few days to go out to collect supplies unscrupulously. The whole Fengcheng must be crazy busy.
Qi Jiang was noncommittal: "Then let's meet."
Anyway, their Kunlong Chamber of Commerce now has a relatively complete range of products, so if there is anything missing in Fengcheng, just buy it.
He and Su Qing have been relatively leisurely at sea these days. Apart from meditating every morning to practice and comprehend the laws, they have been playing in the afternoon and adding production lines to the factory in the evening.
Two ordinary formation production lines have been added, the production of the warning formation and the defensive formation has already begun, and Su Qing is also studying how to mass-produce other formations.
On Qijiang's side, more production lines have been added. There are nine in total. Guqi Pill, Qingxin Pill, Jiedu Pill, and Huixue Pill are all commonly used pills. On the vestments, vestments related to the five elements are also produced.
After their strength has improved greatly, the addition of production lines is also faster, even if they are only done in time, the efficiency is much higher than before.
With these commodities, it is impossible for Fengcheng to starve to death.
Tan Yilong continued to read the introduction book, frowning slightly, a little worried about what to buy.
He wants to buy everything, but he feels that he can't afford many of them. It's not that the unit price is expensive, but as the supreme commander, he must consider the entire city. If the amount is too large, the price will be high.
He looked at the introductions of other cities' special products. The island cities had seafood, the hope base had Maomiao fruit, and the North City had battle armor and bell birch flowers. Fengcheng seemed to have nothing.
Without specialty products, it means that there is no signboard, and you can only buy other people's things but cannot attract other cities to buy their things. In the end, income and expenditure must be unequal.
Before anyone else came, Tan Yilong thought carefully: "Teacher, is healing jelly a special product?"
Qi Jiang and Su Qing looked at each other, both a little surprised. This means that Fengcheng knows how to produce or raise sea mussels for healing?
"Where did Fengcheng get the healing jelly?" Qi Jiang was a little curious, "The previous trench should have been covered by magma."
Tan Yilong nodded. At that time, Fengwai Mountain fell, and the trench should not be spared, so the sea mussels, healing jelly and doctor fish there must have disappeared.
However, he was not talking about the trench near the coast of the canyon, but elsewhere.
"There is an inland sea about [-] kilometers to the west." Tan Yilong said carefully, "I found it when Zhou Chen took people out to survey the surrounding terrain. There are also clinic sea clams and doctor fish in it."
Thinking of this, he said again: "By the way, they also met a pair of Merman mother and daughter there, who spoke the local dialect of Fengcheng. I heard that they were blown into the inner sea by a storm. At that time, Zhou Chen and the others were injured. , The existence of healing jelly is what the mother and daughter said."
Because of the long distance, Tan Yilong and the others seldom go there, only occasionally when the healing jelly runs out, they go to restock.
Qi Jiang's eyes flickered slightly: "Of course this is a special product, but this special product is not easy to keep."
If a trade route is opened, the sales volume of healing jelly will definitely be a lot, and Fengcheng will have to replenish it frequently, and Neihai will be discovered sooner or later.
In this way, those businessmen can go fishing by themselves without going through Fengcheng's hand at all, and they can earn more.
"That's what I thought, build a teleportation array over there, and then ask the teachers to set up an illusion array on the sea that can deceive people's eyes. In addition to the detoxification pills left by the teachers, we also use healing jelly mixed with other medicines. Dongxi has refined a Qi-replenishing and blood-replenishing pill, which can be applied externally or taken internally, and the healing jelly has been processed, so the effect is better and the utilization rate is higher. As long as we hide it well, outsiders will not know what our raw materials are."
The alchemists in Fengcheng, to be honest, were all from Ye Luzi's background. Fortunately, they found a very talented child, and after more than half a year of training, he was finally able to refine the elixir.
Otherwise, his introduction today would have to be called Qi-replenishing and blood-replenishing medicine powder. He said it was okay to others, and what he said to the two teachers... When he thought of the tutorial books left by the teacher back then, he couldn't say it. shame.
But it's okay now, at least some achievements, not standing still.
After listening to his explanation, Su Qing shook his head: "I'm afraid the output is not enough for one person to refine."
If the output is not enough, it can only be regarded as a small fight.
Tan Yilong also knew this truth, but there was nothing he could do about it: "After all, we are few in number, and it would be pretty good to find a talented alchemist."
"Are other alchemists cultivating?" Qi Jiang pondered.
"Yes, but with little effect." Tan Yilong scratched his head, "Everyone can't understand the tutorial."
"The master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual. It's normal not to understand, and it means that the Tao is not here." Su Qing was not surprised at all, "Just wait until the next generation grows up."
"You can let other apprentices refine low-level medicinal liquid or medicinal powder, and the alchemist can refine high-level medicinal pills." Qi Jiang gave a suggestion, "The market for medicinal pills is huge, and you still have time."
The battle with the resurrected ones is the business of these top new generations, and other people can't get involved, and the result of their battle can't be that big. The development of the world depends on the seemingly lonely part like Tan Yilong. People who don't smell, but work hard to live.
In the battle at the top level, the only thing they can do is fight for territory and provide shelter for the lower levels.
Even though the seal has not been lifted, Qi Jiang and Su Qing have been analyzing during this time, and probably guessed what challenges they will face in the future.
Still, these challenges don't concern most people, who still have a lot of time.
At best, if the top new generation like Qi Jiang loses, everyone may have a harder life, but if they win, everyone can live a little easier.
In any case, now that the transportation is inconvenient, it is very difficult for the battle at the upper level to affect the lower level in a short period of time.
It may be that Central Continent is more affected, but in other continents, it will definitely not have much impact.
Tan Yilong subconsciously thought that what Qi Jiang was talking about was just the commercial market, but when he nodded to show that he understood, he suddenly found that the eyes of the two teachers were a little unpredictable, as if there were other deep meanings in the words.
But he knew few things, and it was difficult to guess what the deep meaning of Qi Jiang's words was.
Just as he was secretly thinking about it, there was a knock on the door, and there were several familiar auras outside, it was Zhou Chen and the others who had arrived.
Tan Yilong went to open the door and saw that Zhou Chen and the three outside had changed into new clothes, so he hurriedly let them in: "Teacher, Zhou Chen and the others are here."
Zhou Chen, He Mao, and Zhang Bufan walked in. Among the three, only Zhou Chen had reached the foundation building stage, while He Mao and Zhang Bufan were still in the Qi training stage. Zhou Chen, like Tan Yilong, had awakened four times, and the other two had three awakenings. wake up.
Compared with other cities in terms of strength, to put it bluntly, Fengcheng's strength is not as good as that of the small town of Shanghai Island, and it can be said to be the last one.
It is not surprising that Fengcheng has experienced more hardships.
When the three of them came to Su Qing and the others, just like Tan Yilong before, they were about to kneel on their knees.
Su Qing and Qi Jiang frowned one after another, and helped them up with spiritual force bundles so that they didn't really kneel down.
"Where did you get the bad habit?" Su Qing was a little disgusted, "It's fine to kneel to the sky and kneel to your parents, but even we kneel, how come our knees are so soft."
"A teacher for one day and a father for life." Zhou Chen whispered.
"I don't have such worthless children as you." Su Qing said angrily.
The three blushed immediately with shame, but they were dark, so others couldn't see it.
Tan Yilong's excitement has passed, and now it's like watching the excitement, he invites them to sit down when they've seen enough, and shows them the introduction book by the way.
At the same time, he did not neglect the two teachers, and tried hard to strike up a conversation so that they would not feel bored.
After everyone finished reading the introduction and the shock was over, Qi Jiang and Su Qing remembered something, and told them some experiences and lessons of awakening in other cities.
The set they left before is outdated, and other cities outside have explored some roughly the same but different methods.
For example, Shi Luxuan in Beicheng was only in the foundation building stage, but he was still able to awaken seven times. However, he did not directly "krypton gold" to accumulate energy like Jin Jin, but used animal pills to accumulate energy like Hope Base.
It can be said that there are many ways to awaken. Qi Jiang and Su Qing's experience is different from everyone else's. Now it is impossible to sum up the conditions for everyone's awakening.
Therefore, they only said it was experience. How to try out other people's awakening methods depends on Fengcheng himself.
The four of them listened carefully, looking thoughtful, obviously already thinking about what to do.
Su Qing likes people who love to think. Seeing them so serious, she couldn't help showing a smile, thinking that they were the people she had taught, including her own friends, so it could be regarded as a relationship between teachers and friends , and sent some meeting gifts.
After giving the gift, without waiting for them to thank, Su Qing stood up and said goodbye: "See you, you are busy these days, so don't take time to accompany us."
He Mao was surprised: "Won't the teacher stay for a few days?"
"No, it's still early, we have to go to another city to see."
"Teacher, another city is also in Fengnan Island, is it near here?" Tan Yilong's eyes flashed.
"Based on your footsteps, it will take about seven or eight years." Qi Jiang smiled and shook his head, "Maybe more than that, I guess."
This time cost directly persuaded Tan Yilong to quit: "Then I will send it to the teacher."
The others said in unison: "Let's go too!"
"No need to send it off, we can just go out by ourselves, you guys are busy." Qi Jiang waved his hand, "The temperature will drop in a few days, we will come back."
I originally planned to come back tonight to catch up on the old days, but since I have met with everyone now, let’s get things done over there before coming back, so as not to rush back and forth, even if the transmission is just a matter of a moment, back and forth Also troublesome.
Hearing that they had returned, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were really busy these days, so they didn't insist.
Qi Jiang and Su Qing left the office and soon left Fengcheng to go to another city with a one-time teleportation array.
Another city is much larger than Fengcheng, or in other words, except for the island town and oasis, other cities are larger than Fengcheng and have a larger population than Fengcheng.
When they came here, the two didn't go in directly, but first looked at the information collected by the puppet.
A few minutes later, the two took out the old flying boat and flew towards the gate of the city. Su Qing remembered something Tan Yilong said before: "Brother Jiang, do you think the mother and daughter of the Inner Sea Mermaids that Tan Yilong talked about Is it Sister Fang's mother and daughter?"
Although it was a bit of a coincidence, he felt that it should be possible.
Sister Fang's mother and daughter were both fish mutants at the beginning. Of course, they didn't fully understand them before and called them fish mutations. But both sister Fang's mother and daughter can survive in sea water, so it should be the blood of the sea clan, and the mermaids also belong to it. Hai Clan, this information is correct.
Another one, Sister Fang and Brother Chen were separated in the storm at the beginning, and it is normal for the two mothers and daughters to be blown to the inner sea by the storm in different sea areas.
The most important thing is that they speak the local dialect of Fengcheng, which is why Su Qing wanted to visit.
"It's too coincidental." Qi Jiang felt that the possibility was unlikely, "But we can't give up hope. Didn't Tan Yilong say that the mother and daughter are still living in the inner sea? We can go and see after we finish dealing with the matter by the river."
Lest Brother Chen run for nothing.
"That's it." Su Qing nodded in agreement.
With just a few words, the low-speed flying boat has arrived at the gate of the city, with the words "City of Hope" written on it.
I hope that these two words will appear again, and at the same time, it also contains the belief that cities scattered all over the world have almost become isolated islands.
Su Qing and Qi Jiang are sure that they will encounter more "hopeful" cities in the future.
Feizhou attracted the attention of many people, and everyone talked about it. They were talking about those topics, and they were all surprised and vigilant.
The two of Qi Jiang landed at the gate of the city and showed the identity card of the management of the Kunlong Chamber of Commerce they made. The flamboyant handwriting and the stressful atmosphere made people feel awe.
"I'm from the Kunlong Chamber of Commerce. Please help me get a pass." Qi Jiang put the ID card on the table at the registration office.
The registrar swallowed. He had never heard of this chamber of commerce, but he dared to venture into the wilderness with two people, and he could also take a spaceship. Obviously his status was extraordinary, so he did not dare to neglect.
"Two distinguished guests, wait a moment, I will help you to deal with it right away."
While applying for a pass, he asked people to go in to report, and at the same time, he kept introducing the various characteristics of their City of Hope, such as what special products are, what is popular in the city, and so on.
After applying for the pass, the registrar gave the two a map, which was covered with a layer of dust because it hadn't been used for a long time. He wiped it with his sleeve and handed it out: "You two guests can go to the real estate bureau to rent a house. .”
Originally, City of Hope reserved a hotel for outsiders to live in, but last year they didn’t wait for people from other cities to come, and later the hotel became a residential building.
Just like this map, it was originally reserved for guests, and it has never been used.
Qi Jiang and Su Qing could tell that there was only one map, so they took the map and took a few glances to write it down before returning the map.
After that, they went to the house rental office to rent a house for a month. They had no points, so they went to the exchange office to exchange some food for points, and finally rented the house smoothly.
The reason for renting for one month is because the shortest lease term here is one month.
But it's just a little money, and they don't care.
After renting a house, they don’t live here, leaving a puppet housekeeper and leaving City of Hope, leaving a sentence to the registrar: “We left a puppet in the house, if your city treats us Kunlong Chamber of Commerce If you are interested in the scope of business, you can go to the house to find the puppet to get the introduction book, if you have the intention of further cooperation, you can tell the puppet, we will be back soon."
After that, they swaggered away in the flying boat, and the registrar was taken aback for a while.
Just gone?
What puppet?
What is a puppet?
The registrar's reaction was as expected by Qi Jiang and Su Qing. They believed that they were so confident and made such a high-profile appearance that everyone would be curious, so they were not worried that the introduction would not be sent out.
As long as you read the brochure, you won't be tempted.
That being the case, what are you still doing here?
Instead of staying and waiting, it's better to go to the Inner Sea to see if the shark mother and daughter are sister Fang and her daughter.
They really wanted to stay here for a few days at the beginning, just like they did when they went to Heiwu City, pretending to be a bit taller, so that the next business negotiation will definitely go smoothly.
But they care more about friends than business.
Since the information about the Merman mother and daughter in Neihai can almost match that of Sister Shang, mother and daughter, it would be unreasonable for them not to check it out.
The two teleported to the place where the puppet was positioned near Fengcheng, and the flying boat roared past, so fast that they flew directly over Fengcheng without anyone noticing.
The distance of 5 kilometers is too short for the flying boat, but they arrived in less than [-] minutes.
The inland sea is right in front of them. This sea is not big. With their eyesight, they can see the edge at a glance. In the past, it could be said to be a sea. In the new world, this area can only be regarded as a relatively large inland saltwater lake. .
In the lake, two sharks wearing seashell and seaweed clothes are playing.
Seeing the appearance of the merman's mother clearly, Qi Jiang and Su Qing, who originally just wanted to take a look and didn't hold much hope, smiled.
The reunion of Chen Ge's family of three is expected.
