Lin Yu has made up her mind about the lay out of her city. There will be six territories and all six will be prosperous the space between the territories will all belong to her and will be located to farmers who are willing to rent land from her.
She also hopes to have a train, schools, fight clubs and training facilities. There is more than enough space so she will do things slowly as time goes on.
When she arrived at the city center she found a large building. It is indeed a hospital. Walking inside she found it clean and spacious. "Interesting."
It didn't take long for Lin Yu to find her friend Lu Peng. "Good morning, may I ask if Lu Peng is around?" The girl working in the hospital reception only glanced at Lin Yu before shaking her head.
"They went to find hospital equipment today. I only know because the trip is going to S city eye hospital, which is closer to Central city." The girl said and Lin you went to the resident of Lu Peng so that she will be able to leave the building materials for her.
After going through the guards and unloading many sacks of kankret powder and glasses for windows, Lin Yu decided to look at her own matters. Namely, her share of the five spirit stone mines under Gu Fang. She appeared in the middle of B city and rushed under a shade.
Having made a decision of her next destination, she took a step. However, she ran into a wall of flesh, stumbling back almost falling on her bum. A strong hand snaked around her waist and pulled her firmly to a manly chest.
"Lin Yu?" A low voice sounded from above her head. She looked up only to meet a sharp chin.
Taking a few steps back, she saw this person is Gu Fang. "Mr. Gu, you seem to have done well for yourself these months." She coughed to dispel the awkwardness of having been in his arms a while ago.
"I'm doing well. Thanks to your help." He said still looking at her with a burning intensity.
"How are your injuries?" His eyes darkened when he asked this. There's something dangerous in those deep dark eyes. However, it disappeared faster than she could decipher it.
"I'm alright." Faced with the ambiguous behavior from the other party, Lin Yu didn't see more because the hot air outside is just annoying.
"Can we talk about the mines? I'd like to learn their location please." She got straight to business. Gu Fang smiled and lead her to his study.
"I have been worried about you these months. It's great that you are well." He said lighting a cigarette.
"Did my siblings ever bother you again?" She asked looking around the office. Gu Fang gave her a map with three locations marked.
"No. They never showed up after that brutal fight you had with them."
"How sad.. now I don't have an excuse to go after them." She said in annoyance.
"How about whatever poison they gave you last time?" He raised an eyebrow.
"I gave it back to the brother. I wonder if he is alive..?"
"Well, if she made the poison, she probably made the antidote too." He suggested. But Lin Yu shook her head.
"She us too confident. And if she made it with the intention to kill me off, there's no need to prepare an antidote for me." She said lazily.
"That means your brother is dead."
"I doubt that." She took the map and disappeared from the office. She appear near the medium level spirit stone mine. Using her power, She first separated the mine and the spirit stone mine vein from the earth before teleporting it into a prepared location in her space.
One day later, the three mines are safely tucked inside her space. After she put away her things, Lin Yu felt her power and realized she is still at tier 5 peak. Releasing her barrier she wants to make it very thick so it will be able to defend against anything. But most importantly she wants to build a castle with this power.
Taking the blood, bones and muscle forging pills again, Lin Yu is determined to raise her level. When she is on the verge of breaking through to the 6th level, she knows this is when the previous channels and meridians will be converted into spirit energy veins.
To facilitate the process, she took the vein forging and vein enhancer pills from the storage. Not the ones she made herself since they are not at a superior level. Which will result in high quality spirit energy veins.
The process is not comfortable since the previous channels need to be destroyed and then new veins will emerge then they are filled with pure spirit energy increasing her power.
The level of her body is also at level 5 warrior which is able to lift 300 kg. To aid the process, Lin Yu drank a lot of spirit water. This way a process that would have taken a day and a half only took several hours.
When she stood up the area around her became engulfed in complete darkness. Her red eyes glowed in the depth of the storm, an illusory image of a long black dragon stood behind her then it started flying around in circles. She finally saw that it is like the mythical long eastern dragons.
Scales gleaming a crystal like sheen looking very sturdy. Sharp claws with a black poison. and the red pupils capable of seeing the truth.
Although she didn't gain any ability, she is now able to curry 500 kg no problem. The dark silent flames reseeded and she stood there covered in impurities. Level 6 feels great!
Coming out of her space, she appeared in her mansion and took out vein enhancer pills for her army along with the other pills. Seeing the three towns growing larger and larger, she couldn't help but clench her fists. Even if Lin Mai made a school, what the use if she also has an army?
"May!" Lin Yu is not here to stay so she went to a building that looks good enough to house the master and called out. To her luck, May is available this time.
"You came back, I'm glad you have recovered." May felt like she couldn't look directly at Lin Yu in the eyes. "Your bloodline upgraded again?" May asked understanding this is a bloodline suppression.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I just broke through. Tell me, How many spirit warriors and regular warriors you each have?" Lin Yu asked May knowing she would keep tabs on the others.
"There are 78 spirit warriors and 306 warriors but I currently have 600 people in the army. The others are also hoping to take the pills and awaken." May said looking at her in expectation.
"I will give you 400 of each type but I hope to have a thousand strong soon. This new pill, give it to spirit warriors it increases the amount of spirit energy a warrior can accumulate in their bodies. This will make that at least three times more powerful than regular spirit warriors." Lin Yu said and asked her to show her around.
There are five high-rise buildings some still under construction but there are no people living on the street. There are stone water tanks for each building. A large supermarket with essential items. "When people go out and find a lot of items, they can sell them to me through the supermarket."
Entering the store, she realized the lighting is not good here and the cooling in the fridges is subpar. Lin Yu took out a few jade stones with cold spell inscriptions and after mummering a few spells, they meted into the fridge glasses.
She also took out long lights used in stores and gave them to her. She didn't give light inscriptions because the store needs to close at night and they must be turned off. If your store is low on stock, write a list and buy them from me."
Lin Yu has a duplication stone, she will not wrong her people unnecessarily. May thanked her and they moved on to the animal farm. May suddenly spoke. "I would like to have a processing factory as well. Just as Lu Pei also wished he has living animals to raise."
"Alight, but the share of the profit will also increase accordingly." May thought of something and took out a few books and three wooden trunks. Opening them, Lin Yu saw thousands of bright colored monster cores.
Lin Yu's eyes sparkled in delight. She had forgotten the five months she was away. "taking the money away, she asked her to show her the prepared factory building. To her surprise, May had really prepared a three story factory just like the one in Lu Pei's territory.
She asked her to leave her alone and took out the same machines she had given to Lu Pei and installed cold spell inscriptions in cold three storages for raw meat. Just like she had done for Lu Pei, she gave a storeroom full of frozen meat.
"Alright. Let me go to Lu Pei, I'm assuming he also put up a farm ready to welcome living animals?" Lin Yu asked May who nodded in agreement.
"Is there something you need here?"
"Medicine." May answered. Lin Yu took her to a supermarket warehouse and took out 2000 first aid kit boxes and regular pharmacy medication including antibiotics and bandages. She is paid a lot of monster cores for this stock.
Lu Pei is not around but Lin Yu gave out a hundred of each animal and left towards Lu Peng. Het territory surprised Lin Yu. Unlike the others, she has opened massive fields of land for farming. As far as Lin Yu can see, she can see gold wheat, corn and rice growing well. The last time Lin Yu came, she hadn't seen this place because of the moon light that day.
"I got the farming machines from May, her people didn't know anything about farming. I took it off her hands." Lu Peng said from the side. "What do you think?" She asked.
"I think you have done a very good job. I'm here to see if you also want to raise animals and have a processing factory."
"We are already making flour, rice and even cereal, corn chops and corn flour. To add can meat and sausages would be a splendid idea!" Lu Peng clung to Lin Yu as she took out the animals, meat processing machines and when she is preparing the cold rooms.
There are several supermarkets in this territory. Lin Yu helped to stock all of them and took out the four hundred pills of each king and explained the use of the vein forging pills.
"The hospital has only recently settled down with all the equipment available so I could only start last month to train the army seriously." Lin Yu gave her more medication and told her she expect a lot of money for them in the future.
Just as Lin Yu is about to leave, she saw Lu Pei running this way. "I want to restock the three stores in my territory, we haven't been able to find recourses and those we find are already rotten because of the heat."
Lin Yu followed him back and received a lot of monster cores for the past five months. Satisfied, she gave him the pills and left. Lu Pei has 700 soldiers, and because his focus is on man power, he will surly grow a bigger army than the others.
Lin Yu chose a 450 meters in radius and surrounded it with a large wall. 18 meters tall 5 meter thick. Lin Yu is not in a hurry and slowly made two large doors for the main gate. It is only large enough for two carriages side by side.
After installing the gate, she quickly designed two single man gates. The wall has bright lights inside and outside making the place brightly lit.
When she is satisfied with the size, the terrain and the tall pillar in the middle with several lights and air generating inscriptions. The air inside this city will always be fresh and clean.
Lin Yu decided to sort out her things. The fruits, vegetables and grain growing in her space still needs to be harvested and stored properly using her barrier power, Lin Yu built fix massive warehouses and started storing the items harvested. It took a long time to finish harvesting, washing and then storing all the items neatly.
She decided to take the three high level pills now that she is in level 6. She can handle potent pills. She felt the spirit energy rush into her veins for a very long time without stopping. Her spirit veins should be very large to accommodate so much energy.
When she finished cultivating, the area around her became distorted as her body exuded a heavy pressure. She is more powerful than others because she awakened both element and bloodline. At this time, the world is probably dominated by element masters. As a darkness element master, she ought to make an appearance.
She took a bath and then planted more crops on the recently harvested space and made her way out. As soon as she came out she found the citizens of the B base having a protest. B base has two walls, one is the stone wall that Gu Fang had built at that time. The other one is the wall in the outer most part of the city. Back then, Lin Yu created this wall in a matter of a few minutes.
The results is an inner city and an outer city. Gu Fang and his men stood on the wall looking somber. "What's going on?" Lin Yu appeared near him and asked suddenly scaring the nearby soldiers.
"They want air-conditioner. Apparently someone let it slip that inner city has electricity." A soldier looked at the other soldier who snorted and looked away.
"So, what's the plan?" Lin Yu sat on Gu Fang's chair.
"Let them burn themselves out." He said coolly. Lin Yu tapped him and asked.
"Can you help me build my home now?" The words fell, the soldiers stiffened and took steps back. This lady wants boss to be a construction worker?
"Sure." Gu Fang agreed. The soldiers became stunned. He agreed?!
"Can we do it now?" She asked softly with a smile. Gu Fang looked at the rioting crowd below and asked.
"What about them?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow. Lin Yu pursed her lips unhappily.
"Should I just kill them? It would solve the problem." She asked tentatively. Gu Fang shook his head.
"I still need the labor." Gu Fang didn't agree.
"When do you need labor?" She asked him.
"After the weather becomes better."
"Maybe you can let them.work in my city fir the time being? I want to open a few farming fields and such." Gu Fang gave it some thought and soon agreed.
"Alright."
"Then van you build my castle? I have blue print. I van pay with medicine. The kind that will help your men awaken." She smiled when seeing his rising eyebrows.
"How big is this castle you want built?" He asked feeling tempted. If this woman says it is that kind of medicine, then she is probably telling the truth.
Lin Yu took out the castle blue print. Someone came over with an umbrella and under the shade, he studied the blueprint.
"How extravagant." He said lightly.
"What can I say? I'm rich." She shrugged.
"I have intelligence saying your siblings have made very powerful friends and they are headed here. I doubt they will return without getting what they want this time." He said looking at Lin Yu.
"You want something." Lin Yu stated.
"I have heard you uprooted the mines belonging to you. Help me do the same. I will help you build your castle." He said straightforwardly.
"Alright. You have earth powers, why haven't you done this yourself?"
"I don't know. I just can't." Right! The earth has long since hardened beyond what it was before.
"Alright. I have soil you can use." The two of them walked back to the city and then to the mines. Her power to consume anything she touches with her black flame is very useful against hardened surfaces and makes it easier to dig up an entire mountain of spirit stone mines.
"You may move it now." Gu Fang indeed didn't feel the tremendous pressure from before and easily took away the mine although his mental state became strained afterwards he can accept this cost.
They took a week because of the strenuous metal fatigue he suffered from moving the mine into his storage space.
Lin Yu excitedly took him to the new territory under her control. Although it's empty without a single person inside, the large city gates and the wall, plus the light make for an impressive view.
"So what device do you use to regulate air this deep underground?" He asked.
"It's not a device. And it's not something you can learn." She took him to an empty large area.
Gu Fang looked at the area and took out a single to smoke. "I will need all my men to come here and the regular people to do the fine tuning in the building."
"Oh. Then I'll prepare the residents for everyone." He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Just how rich are you?"
"Come on, help me organize the living arrangements." She took him to the rest of the place to put down temporary houses.
This place is not bad. Gu Fan thought while he looked at Lin Yu take out temporary houses and fill them with supplies and electricity. A few houses will share a generator and the fuel will be given for the duration of their employment in the underground city.
"How many more generators do you have?"
The two of them have been working together harmoniously these days. He also finished the foundation of the castle with her help in digging it out. She put the soil on the side for him to use in making a castle.
When they emerged to bring the people into the underground city, they found B city surrounded by enemies. It seems her relentless siblings have finally come.
"It seems I timed it perfectly." Gu Fang said with a frown.
"I'd say you are late to the party." Lin Yu said seeing the destruction around her. It seems the enemies have been shooting grenades into the city. Many are already injured already.
"Help me take them away first." He said but Lin Yu thinks she heard pleading in his tone.
Looking around, she couldn't understand her elder sister at all. That female protagonist is suddenly responsible for the death and injury of so many civilians. Just what is she thinking?
Lin Yu is not in the mood to bother with these guys. She wants her castle dammit!
