Chapter 311: Learning is King
Translator: 549690339
I didn’t expect that a flyer would get me a hundred-year-old shop. Reputation is really powerful. It can easily destroy an old shop.
I have to say, the boss of Southern oil is still a decent person. He has worked hard to manage the auction for more than a hundred years and made the auction house very impressive. Unfortunately, because of a host (little sweetie), the auction house closed down.
“En, it’s quite pitiful that the century-old auction house has to close down just like that.”
In the crowd, the Internet Water Army hired by the auction house was treasured. They spread the glorious deeds of Nanyou oil everywhere and praised them as if they were the only ones in the world to gain everyone’s sympathy.
The majority of the people had unknowingly pitied Nanyou and had gradually started cherishing the auction house.
Only a small number of people had disdainful expressions.
The reason why the treasure auction house had become one of the top forces in the land of chaos was because it couldn’t admit defeat so easily. It was certain that the treasure auction was preparing a big move.
As for returning the treasures of the dark shadow that were worth billions, how could that be possible? who would ever return a meatball to a dog? Unless the wild wolves changed to vegetarians.
The news of the precious auction being put up for sale was gradually spreading.
Seven days later.
Under everyone’s witness, the biopharmaceutical company bought the rare auction house for 2 billion domain dollars and officially renamed it the life auction house.
The two billion purchase price was already a lot higher than normal. As a condition, the big boss of the biopharmaceutical company asked Nanyou to stay and help manage the auction house.
Nan you half-willingly and half-reluctantly went from being the head to a small manager of the life auction house. All the members of the precious auction were evacuated, leaving only Nan you behind.
At the same time, Nanyou secretly leaked a piece of news: An Ying’s matter had been successfully settled. Other than returning an Ying’s treasure, he had also paid 60 million domain coins as compensation.
Li xiaonian didn’t show up at all. The crowd thought it was true and couldn’t help but look envious.
60000000 domain coins for one death. Damn, Shadow’s level is really precious.
sigh … It’s really infuriating to compare with others. If I were Nanyou, paying hundreds of thousands was already the maximum. To actually pay 60 million, I have to say, an Ying is really black-hearted.
“Return the treasure? He even paid 60 million, only a ghost would believe that.”
……
In the midst of everyone’s doubts and discussions.
In the meeting room of the life auction house, Nan you’s face was dark.”You still haven’t found shadow?”
The new core members in the audience all had bitter faces. No. We’ve already used all our methods and checked all the buildings, but we still haven’t found an Ying’s whereabouts.
eight days ago, our men were monitoring shadow, but they were killed without a sound.
“What’s the reply from heaven knowing port?” Nan you looked at a young man.
my Lord, we’ve searched every corner of Tianzhi port, but we couldn’t find an Ying. Young master Yuqing said that she doesn’t know where an Ying is hiding either, ” the young man replied with a bitter face.
“Damn it!”
Nan you gritted his teeth and cursed.
The situation had gotten out of control. He had said that he would return the treasure as long as li xiaonian appeared, but that was just a trick to lure li xiaonian out.
However, li xiaonian didn’t show up after a long time, so he had to quickly round up his lie. Otherwise, li xiaonian would find a spokesperson to appear and ask for the treasure. At that time, he would be in a very passive position.
Everything in the game was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the leader had paid a huge price to hire the poison Demon Star Lord to find li xiaonian’s real body and kill him.
Unfortunately, poison Demon Star Lord failed to find an Ying’s real body. This proved that an Ying’s identity in the real world was extraordinary.
In Nan you’s mind, as long as an Ying was still alive, even if he changed the name of the precious auction to the life auction, he would still be unable to operate freely.
The enemy in the dark was the most terrifying. Every day that li xiaonian was not dealt with, they would be on tenterhooks. They needed a large number of Warriors to guard against li xiaonian’s sudden attack.
In the land of chaos, players who carried treasures worth hundreds of millions or even billions had the ability to start a war.
He didn’t think that li xiaonian would just swallow his anger and leave.
Helplessly, Nan you could only pass on the difficult problem in front of him to the leader. The leader’s answer made him laugh.”Hahaha … If an Ying dares to show up, it will be the time of his death.”
……
The days passed by.
Li xiaonian spent every day forging the soulbreaking saber. In his spare time, he would return to the real world and supervise the development of the stronghold in Leo town.
After a period of development.
The people in the stronghold of Leo city all had smiles on their faces. With enough food, they all became rounder.
Most of them were happy, but many of them had a bitter face and were on tenterhooks.
“Sigh … There’s only three days left before the monthly test. I don’t know what the leader is thinking. Is culture really that important? Why did you have to have a cultural exam instead of a martial arts exam?”
“Although I’m not sure of the leader’s intentions, he must have his own reasons for making such a decision. I believe in him unconditionally. He’s too wise.”
“Go, go, go. In the last exam, you got into the top 100. You have a meal of meat every three days. Of course, you say that the cultural assessment is good. I don’t have your luck. I thought that my exam results wouldn’t be the last. I didn’t expect to be 18th from the last. I’m still hungry, and I don’t have the energy to study. If this continues, my grades in the next exam will probably not be much better.”
ahem, good luck. In fact, although you’re not as good at language and post-apocalyptic survival, you’re good at math. If you can get first place in math, maybe the leader will be soft-hearted and cancel your punishment.
“Hehe, first place? Look around, which one of them isn’t studying hard? if you want to get first place, strength is secondary, the key is luck.”
……
It was the end of the exam, and food was cut in half. After three counts down, they would be thrown into the slave camp. They would have endless hard work to do and endless food to eat. This rule set by li xiaonian was extremely damaging to the people.
In order not to be at the bottom, everyone gave up on cultivation and seized every minute and second to study hard.
No one dared to relax under great pressure. Other than the necessary sleep and labor, the rest was studying, studying, and studying.
In just over a month’s time.
There were great changes in the stronghold. The illiteracy rate had almost disappeared, and everyone could read and even understand mathematics. They were already at the level of a third-grade primary school student.
At that moment, Gou dan was following li xiaonian around, bringing him to patrol the entire stronghold.
The willow tree in the middle of the stronghold had gradually covered the entire stronghold. It was more than three times larger than before. With the black willow, any biochemical beast that approached would be devoured by the black willow and turned into fertilizer.
After walking for a distance, goudan said, ” leader, most of the people in the stronghold are dissatisfied with the cultural assessment and punishment you imposed. They don’t say it, but most of them are unhappy. Do you think … You can relax your requirements a little? ”
Li xiaonian lowered his head and looked at goudan. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.”Those who are dissatisfied, that includes you.”
Upon hearing this, Gou dan was so scared that he hurriedly bowed his head and said, ” “I don’t dare to. No, I didn’t.”
Li xiaonian waved his hand indifferently. “Don’t blame me for having high expectations. If you’re in the last 100 in the exam, your food will also be cut in half.”
In the last exam, goudan, as a literate ‘cultured person’, had been ranked in the last 206. This ranking was very dangerous.
“Yes.” Goudan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Li xiaonian hesitated for a moment before he said earnestly, I know that you have to manage the stronghold and study. Time is tight, but I hope this is not an excuse. As the second-in-command of the stronghold, you have to lead by example, do you understand? ”
I know, leader. I’ll work hard. Goudan hurriedly promised.
“En, you don’t have to keep me company. Hurry up and go study.”
Goudan thought for a moment, then nodded and bowed in farewell.
Looking at goudan’s back, the corners of li xiaonian’s mouth curled up. “Little guy, don’t you think I know what you’re thinking? You’re a martial artist and you’re full of energy. If you can’t compare to the people, I can only say that you’re not suitable to be the second-in-command.”
It felt great to decide someone’s life and death and future with one word.
Li xiaonian was happy, but he wasn’t messing around.
Cultural studies, especially mathematics, were of course the most important. Only a large number of scientists could rapidly develop the technology of planet ah fan.
His goal was to make Leo city the top research Institute on planet sail, and to send top talents to the world.
If he developed ah fan well, ah fan would become stronger, and the favor it owed him would be more valuable.
Without goudan’s company, li xiaonian summoned the robot grizzly bear.
grizzly bear, how many refugees have the stronghold taken in during this period? ”
master, ” the gray Bear said, ” the stronghold has taken in 36 people during this period of time. Among them, there are three class five martial artists, 13 class four martial artists, 11 Class three martial artists, and 19 class two martial artists. There’s no class one warrior or commoner.”
Li xiaonian frowned.
The increase in population was pitifully small, which was not the result he wanted to see.
“How’s the handling of the water power station?”
the basic construction has been completed, but there is a serious shortage of copper ore, so we can’t make a power ring. If the owner wants to run the generator, he can only run one set far away, and the power generated is only 5000w.
let’s officially start operating. Hang a high-power Bright light on top of black Willow’s head and create a powerful current magnetic field to attract all the nearby biochemical beasts.
“Yes, master,”
The gray grizzly bear was busy making strong lights, while li xiaonian rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on.
The construction of a stronghold was much more difficult than he had imagined.
Previously, there was still a large pile of discarded semi-finished products that could be used, but they had been used up during this period of time, and could only be polished by hand. Everything had to be done by the gray grizzly bear himself, and the efficiency was so low that it was driving him crazy.
Grain needed to be planted, and ore needed to be excavated. These were not problems. The biggest problem was that they did not have enough talents. The commoners in the stronghold had only just started learning the basic knowledge. They had not yet learned the two important subjects of physics and biology.
It was gratifying to note that the roots of the black willow had already taken root in the river behind the stronghold. Without the amphibious biochemical beast hunting the fish in the river, the fish had reproduced quite a lot. The people in the stronghold had enough fish to eat, and the food was still sufficient.
“Forget it, this kind of thing can’t be rushed. We have to take things one step at a time. With my help, the current ah fan star can be said to be rapidly developing on the shoulders of the giants. In 20 years, I hope it can enter the galaxy and connect with the Galaxy.”
Li xiaonian went back to his room after he was done with his business.
Ding …
The system said, [ welcome back to star field. I wish you a good time in the game. ]
As soon as he logged into the game, Yu Qing sent him a message: “Shadow, what have you been planning all this time? You’re not planning to make a move on the rare auction?”
“What? you’ve changed your mind and want to work with me?” li xiaonian asked.
Yu Qing: ” no, I’m just curious. I’ve been thinking about it for a few days, but I don’t understand why you made it so complicated. If you have the ability, you could’ve taken advantage of the fact that the auction was off guard and caught the other party off guard. But now, you’ve gone through so much trouble and made the auction so embarrassing that you’re forced to change its name to the life auction house. They changed their name and didn’t suffer much losses, but they are prepared. If you start a war now, it will be very disadvantageous for you. Not only will it be troublesome, but the losses of the war will also increase limitlessly.”
Li xiaonian smiled faintly. take your time to think about it. Of course, if you write off the 150 million Yuan debt I owe you at Tianzhi port, I’ll be happy to tell you the reason.
He also didn’t want to go through so much trouble, but destroying the precious auction would cause too much of a ruckus. It might even cause a dispute and war between Star Lords.
By doing so, he would make his actions sound reasonable and not bring trouble to the radiant Empress.
As for trouble and losses?
In the entire process, only he and Mo Jia were involved, so there was no loss. At most, they would waste a little time.
Write off 150 million in debt?
Yu Qing immediately chose to ignore li xiaonian.
After a while, Yu Qing couldn’t help but send a message, ” the treasure auction house is about to reopen for business. No, it should be called the life auction house. This time, in order to make a name for themselves, the life auction house will sell a top-tier treasure that increases cultivation speed by 3.
As soon as Yu Qing sent the message, li xiaonian’s spy, chengfeng, also sent a message. The content was similar to Yu Qing’s, but more specific.
Chen Feng: ” shadow, the life auction house will open in three days. They’ve already announced that there will be a top-tier treasure that will increase cultivation speed by 3 points. In addition, there will be an even bigger blood calamity stone for sale. In addition, there seems to be a precious refinement stone.
Li xiaonian: ” alright, I understand. Thank you for your hard work.
Li xiaonian casually gave chengfeng 200 domain coins as payment for his hard work.
After some thought, li xiaonian sent a message to mo Jia and long Liang,”Three days later, when the auction of life opens, it’s time for us to make our move.”
“No problem, I’ve already prepared all kinds of powerful tools,” devil armor replied.
Long Liang: “??? ”
Long Liang,”Are you sure?” With the opening of the life auction this time, its defensive power must be very strong. If we attack the life auction house now, what’s the difference between that and seeking death?
