Chapter 223: Making a Move
After seeing Roger off, Sang Chu turned to look at Xi Rui and handed her two storage rings. “Xi Rui, I’ll leave these magic beasts to you. The Fox Spirit is waiting for you by the seaside. Choose a hundred sea demonic beasts to clear the sea area, then hand over the remaining magic beasts to the Fox Spirit. He knows what to do.”
Xi Rui: “Okay, I’ll go now.”
Xi Rui flapped her wings and instantly disappeared before Sang Chu. Standing in the greenhouse, looking at the spirit plants all over the ground, Sang Chu sighed softly. Then, she said in their small group chat: “Brother, I’ve sent Xi Rui to clear out the things on the seabed. You act at the same time. Min Feng, Brother Yi, come to the greenhouse to find me.”
Xiao Yi Fei replied enthusiastically: “Received! I’m coming right over~”
Lu Min Feng: “Okay.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Mm, I’m starting now.”
Ma Ya Ru, standing beside her, looked at Sang Chu and said, “Sister Sang, what can we do?”
“Go and call Han Song and the other five.”
“Okay, I’ll go right away.”
Sang Chu sat in the greenhouse with a headache. Tu You squatted on her shoulder, “Are you worried about other controlled people?”
“Yes, being controlled without knowing it is the most terrifying. Mu Xue and I grew up together, and I didn’t even know when she was influenced. Let alone others. But now we have to build the city. I didn’t notice this before, and I don’t know if the mutated plants know I’m going to clear them. Now I can only act directly. The more I hesitate, the greater the possibility of them leaving.”
Tu You: “You worry too much. You have so many card slaves and magic beasts now, you could even dominate the entire apocalypse. What are you afraid of in just one city?”
“The world is vast, and there are many people who hide their true strength. I can’t be reckless just because I have some trump cards. I can’t afford the consequences of failure.”
Tu You still couldn’t understand Sang Chu’s cautiousness. In his opinion, it wasn’t necessary, but since Sang Chu was so careful, he didn’t say anything more.
“Then what do you plan to do now?”
Sang Chu’s hand gently tapped the stone bench beside her. “Can you help me find a way to get my brother’s and the others’ mental bodies without them knowing?”
Tu You’s large ears perked up, and his eyes widened in shock. “You want to help them cultivate their clones? Yours isn’t even fully developed yet, and the five-colored spirit soil isn’t enough!”
“Just my brother, Mu Xue, and Grandmother. I’m not that generous with others. Find a way to help me cut off their mental bodies and keep them in the jade bracelet space for emergencies.”
Tu You: “Aren’t you being a bit too cautious? Mutated plants might not be that dangerous.”
“It’s never bad to prepare for the worst. Go do it first. I want to build the high walls as quickly as possible, then clear out the small fry in Hai Shi. If my house building machine can’t complete such a large-scale construction, I’ll need to go to the Monster Transformation World immediately. Oh, right, I remember you said the trading mall can buy things, right?”
“Yes, ticket holders can also trade with each other.”
Sang Chu: “Then help me post a message. I need five-colored spirit soil. I can purchase it with spirit stone jade.”
“There’s hardly any spirit stone jade left. Everyone basically uses spirit stone jade for cultivation.”
“I know. I don’t plan to let everyone use spirit stone jade for cultivation later, which is why I’m in such a hurry to build Hai Shi. This way, we can close the gates and cultivate. Even if someone attacks, it’s fine. A large number of magic beasts and card slaves can defend the city, giving us enough time to grow. We’ll have plenty of spirit plants, monster plants, and spirit spring water.”
Tu You suddenly looked at Sang Chu and said, “You wanted to trade with the mutated tree in Qing Liu City, but there’s actually another way.”
“What is it?”
Tu You: “Find some decent quality jade or those very clear, washed pebbles. Bury them in spirit soil or soak them in spirit spring water. After a long time, they will slowly turn into spirit stones. Although the spirit stones made this way are of average quality, barely considered low-grade spirit stones, they should be quite good for those mutated plants.”
“That’s a good idea. We can put it on the agenda after Hai Shi is built. For now, go do what I told you, and try to get Hai Shi done first.”
“Okay, I’m going now.”
After Tu You left, Sang Chu completely slumped. When Xiao Yi Fei and the others arrived, they saw Sang Chu sprawled on the stone chair without any pretense, looking very tired.
Xiao Yi Fei and Lu Min Feng exchanged glances, unsure whether to wake her up.
“Brother Yi, Min Feng, you’re here.”
Sang Chu only rested for a moment before sitting up. Looking at the group of people standing before her, Sang Chu methodically assigned them their tasks.
“My brother has already gone out. He’s taking the hellhounds and starting to patrol from the mountain forest. He found that there aren’t many mutated plants, so Xue You has already started dealing with the mutated plants. Therefore, Brother Yi, you will now take Han Song and the other five, along with your card slaves and demonic beast legion, and start clearing outwards from our base. Remember, it’s better to kill by mistake than to let anyone go.”
Xiao Yi Fei patted his chest and said, “Sister, don’t worry. Your brother is always reliable!”
After speaking, he waved his hand and said to Han Song and the others, “Let’s go, follow Brother to conquer Hai Shi!”
Such a chuunibyo statement made Sang Chu smile helplessly. Brother Yi’s personality is really something. Fine.
After Xiao Yi Fei took the others away, Lu Min Feng finally spoke, “Did something happen?”
He felt that Sang Chu’s state was a bit off. “Did Xiao Xue get into trouble?”
Sang Chu shook her head. “No, it’s just some tricky matters, but there’s no rush. We’ll take it slow. By the way, this is the hellhound card. You follow behind Brother Yi to ensure there are no stragglers.”
Lu Min Feng frowned slightly upon hearing Sang Chu’s arrangement. “Are you sure about this?”
“Yes, I sent Xi Rui to the seaside. I’ve also arranged for people on the other side, so the clearing task will be entrusted to you and Brother Yi.”
Although Lu Min Feng didn’t know why Sang Chu arranged it this way, he respected Sang Chu’s decision. “Okay.”
Taking the card, Lu Min Feng followed Xiao Yi Fei without a word. Sang Chu wearily rubbed her throbbing temples.
Ma Ya Ru: “Sister Sang, why don’t you rest for a while?”
“No, let’s finish quickly. You and Xia Ru help me watch the base. If anyone makes any moves, tell me immediately, or…”
Sang Chu glanced around, seeing no one, she stood up and walked to Ma Ya Ru’s side, making a throat-slitting gesture. “I give you permission to act first and report later.”
“Sister Sang, you mean, in the base there are…”
“I hope I’m overthinking it, but our family is all here. You and I don’t want the base to be in trouble, right?”
Ma Ya Ru looked at Sang Chu with a serious and earnest expression. “Sister Sang, don’t worry.”
Seeing the killing intent in her eyes, Sang Chu finally breathed a small sigh of relief. “It’s in your hands.”
