Chapter 134: Yaoyang City’s Biggest Mine Rat
Although the match had already ended, the reactions and popularity it caused were still ongoing.
Bai Shiqi’s Emperor Mummy series also officially entered Yaoyang City’s Scroll Painting market thanks to its excellent quality.
However, due to price reasons, sales were not that impressive.
But at least it had already won high recognition from the Yaoyang City populace.
In addition, the previously overlooked Chicken King and Divine Tiger began to explode in sales, especially the Chicken King, which had almost become an essential Scroll Painting for subduing the Insectoid Dimension.
Even the army stationed in the Insectoid Dimension had purchased a batch of Chicken King Scroll Paintings and temporarily formed a Chicken King cavalry battalion.
From subsequent news reports, this Chicken King cavalry battalion had already gone berserk on the Insectoid Dimension front lines.
Divine Fire Club.
Bai Shiqi placed the Wu Xian series Scroll Paintings, which he had bought at a high price, one by one into the five-dimensional rating instrument for testing.
Each test result made him gasp.
Almost every Scroll Painting’s five-dimensional rating was much higher than he had expected and much better than his own Scroll Paintings.
This was no longer a gap in background or talent, but purely a technical gap.
From the ratings of these Scroll Paintings, Wu Xian’s artistic skill and artistic technique were outrageously profound, as if he was born for painting.
He had been learning various painting knowledge and honing various techniques under his family’s arrangement since he could remember.
But in front of Wu Xian, it seemed so ridiculous.
“President Yang, have you handled the task I assigned you?”
Bai Shiqi calmed down after a long time and turned to look at the Divine Fire Club President beside him.
“In response to Young Master, it has been done,” the Divine Fire Club President replied: “The family that rented Wu Xian’s shack has moved out. You can move in anytime, but… are you sure you want to live in such a filthy place?”
Bai Shiqi said nothing and silently got up to head there.
…
North Street District, small villa.
Wu Xian, who was studying and researching Divine Power Factor Synthesis Technology, suddenly received a call from his former neighbor Grandpa Wang.
“Xian boy, this morning a Spirit Tamer Lord rented your shack at a high price. I’ll transfer the money to you later.”
“Ah? Wasn’t that house already rented out?” Wu Xian looked puzzled.
“I don’t know. That person insisted on renting your house, and the previous family was paid to leave directly.” Grandpa Wang said cheerfully: “I reckon it must be your crazy fan. After all, our Xian boy is a celebrity now.”
“Okay, I got it. You old pals keep the rent. I don’t lack that bit of money now.”
Wu Xian looked puzzled, feeling for the first time the terror of those “sasaeng fans” from his previous life.
“Ah? That would be too embarrassing. Thanks to you, us old pals are living well now.”
“You keep it if I tell you to keep it.”
After hanging up, Wu Xian didn’t take this matter to heart.
He continued to delve into the mysteries of Divine Power Factor Synthesis Technology.
The deeper he understood and studied, the more he could feel Third Master Xue’s “genius.”
However, Third Master Xue had recently become somewhat negligent in research and often went out to run instances. Not just Third Master Xue, but Master Sister Xue Lingling seemed quite busy lately too.
Wu Xian thought about it and figured it was because the three major Dimensional Control Zones were expanding, and the Xue Family was also seeking development.
As members of the Xue Family, the two naturally had to contribute.
With the three major Dimensional Control Zones greatly expanding, it was like a blue ocean for all forces and families in Yaoyang City.
Everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
The Tang Family and the Zhou Family where Zhou Qi was from were also quite busy recently. Even Du Yifan and a bunch of other club members had joined in this “once-in-a-century great change” opportunity.
But compared to those family forces, these people were mostly just riding the wave of the times to earn more money.
On the contrary, Wu Xian, who had no ties except for the old master, was quite idle.
Of course, only on the surface.
Every time night fell, he would transform into Yaoyang City’s biggest “mine rat,” heading to the outskirts of the three major Dimensional Control Zones to search for various high-quality mine veins.
Any mine vein useful to the Laurel Tree would be sucked dry.
Even those the Laurel Tree couldn’t use had to be swept for rare ore inside, and by the way, all the best ore in the mine vein core area would be collected into the Qiankun Bag.
After all, the next step of drawing Domain Scroll Paintings would consume a large amount of ore-type resources.
After several days, the Laurel Tree that had absorbed several mining areas had already been promoted to five and a half stars, with a significant increase in spiritual energy gathering effect, and even spirituality had risen to 51 points.
Remnant·Innate Laurel Tree
Version: Original Gold Embroidery Border
Rank: Copper Scroll
Painted Spirit: Five and a Half Stars
Spirituality: 51
Talent Trait: Taiyin Spiritual Root
Strangely, after absorbing so many mine veins, it still couldn’t advance to Silver Scroll, let alone remove the remnant label.
Obviously, it was still missing some key plant element spiritual substance.
He heard that a large Dimensional Fusion Zone had recently been discovered in the Insectoid Dimension, including a Plant Dimension fusion zone. Tonight was a good chance to try his luck, and fusion zones were also more likely to produce rare mine veins.
…
Insectoid Dimensional Gate port.
The dimensional port at midnight was still brightly lit with constant trade.
After all, with the expansion and exploration of the Dimensional Control Zones, and the popularity of Guardian Chicken King, the resource production volume of Yaoyang City’s three major Dimensional Control Zones was also increasing.
There was a saying: territory is the most fundamental resource.
This held true for cities in the Scroll Painting World as well.
The larger the Dimensional Control Zone, the more various resources it produced, which were ultimately converted into economic development through trade with other cities.
The happiest person recently was undoubtedly Mayor Chen Shilong.
With Yaoyang City’s economy taking off, he as mayor naturally made a fortune.
With the association special pass, Wu Xian no longer needed to pay ticket money to enter any instances.
He stepped out from the Insectoid Dimension high-level instance outpost, treading on his natal flying sword, heading straight beyond the high-level defense line.
Unknowingly, he could already vaguely see the outline of that large Dimensional Fusion Zone, the kind that stretched beyond sight.
Its scale was astonishing.
In the dark and distorted sky, various gorgeous spatial lights twisted and fused together.
In the future, this place would undoubtedly become the main lifeline of Yaoyang City’s economic development.
One area dense with various strange plants was the fusion zone of the Plant Dimension and the Insectoid Dimension.
Treading the flying sword, he slowly descended into it, where various bizarre plants blocked out the sky.
Insect nests easily bred in plant clusters, and with the fusion of the Insectoid Dimension, this area had become a paradise for insect-type dimensional monsters.
Just like the giant caterpillar in the weed cluster right now, with two big eyes, looking silly and cute.
One second it was staring at him, the next it opened its scalp-numbing mouthparts, with dense sharp teeth like a spiral extending deep into the mouth.
The key was that this caterpillar was actually a Level Seven monster.
Pfft!
Laurel Branch cold light flashed, piercing the caterpillar’s forehead and exploding a patch of sticky green slime.
Now the Laurel Branch had been nurtured by him to four stars, plus Silver Scroll rank and an excellent foundation, handling ordinary Level Seven or Eight monsters was still very easy.
According to Master Sister Xue Lingling, this was the quality that a high-end premium Scroll Painting should have.
As mentioned before, Painted Spirit Level corresponds to dimensional monster levels.
But strictly speaking, it was not one star per monster level, but half a star per monster level.
Low-tier Scroll Paintings could only handle Level One monsters with one star, but premium Scroll Paintings could often handle Level Two monsters with one star.
This was also the standard for measuring whether a Scroll Painting was excellent.
