Chapter 193: The Development of Kunlun Square (Part 1)
Old Jiang suppressed his excitement at this moment. Looking at the modified game console in Shi Liu's hand, he pretended to be calm and said to Shi Liu:
"Pomegranate, this spiritual pattern of your spirit..."
"What do you want to do?"
After spending a long time with Jiang Xia, Shi Liu also became more clever.
As soon as Jiang Xia started talking, Shi Liu turned around and stared at him, saying:
"You want to learn? You can't learn it. I've already told you that no one except us goblins can learn it."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood."
Jiang Xia shook his head and explained:
"I mean, is it hard to make? Does it require any special materials?"
"Difficult? Not difficult."
Pomegranate shook his head and said:
“As long as a spirit has reached the realm of truth according to your human race’s standards, it can be used freely. The elders are willing to teach it. This thing is equivalent to your human race’s writing.
But the monsters were all used to being wild, and few of them were willing to learn.
It doesn't require any materials to ignite the spirit. Just use some spiritual essence from heaven and earth to ignite the spirit.
But you humans, demons, and ghosts cultivate different spiritual energy than us spirits, so you just can’t learn it.”
“I see.”
Jiang Xia stroked his chin, and after a few seconds, he said to Shi Liu:
"Then next time you go to see your brother, tell it that I want it to do this kind of magic for me, which can be used on various game consoles.
As I said before, what's the point of you monsters playing by yourselves behind closed doors? Games are naturally more fun the more people play them.
Hey, I didn't pay attention to this before.
Let me tell you now, Pomegranate, what you are playing is just the lowest level game played by the Ascendants. Let me tell you, they have better things.
It can accommodate ten people, or even twenty-five, forty, or a hundred people.
Very varied.
Seeing you guys having so much fun, I thought about it and felt that we should spread this happiness to more people. Good things can’t be enjoyed by you monsters alone.
We humans have billions of souls, and there are tens of millions more on the demon side, as well as ghosts. No one says that if you become a ghost you must be miserable, right?
You see, if you want to fight a wolf now, you have to choose a time and make an appointment with someone. How can you have fun like that? "
Lao Jiang said eloquently:
"If you let the human race of Fengming Country play together, you can enter the game in seconds when you are matched. As long as you can hold on, you can play as many games as you want in a day.
That way you can find more powerful opponents, and it will be more fun for you to play, right?"
Pomegranate followed Jiang Xia's imagination, and the spiritual fruit in its claws tasted tasteless.
It just stood there stupidly.
After a few breaths, it came back to its senses, wagged its tail, looked at Jiang Xia suspiciously, and said:
“You said it very well, but I just feel that you have bad intentions in encouraging me to do this. I don’t know what you want to do.
But you are definitely taking advantage of me.
You are so bad, Jiang Xia."
"How can that be possible?"
Jiang Xia said with a look of grievance:
"I give you good games to play, I teach you cheats, I even play for you! I've done all this, and you still think I'm a bad person.
Pomegranate, you are so bad.
Just tell me, are you willing to help?"
"Help me."
Pomegranate rolled his red eyes and said:
"Although you are extremely bad, this will not harm me, and it does not violate the rules of Taofuyuan, so why not do it? But can you sell this broken game console?
I am very suspicious. How bored must a monk be to play games with me?"
"Don't worry about this."
Old Jiang's mind suddenly flashed with the confused look of his own master Shi Yan, who was always unable to wake up. He gritted his teeth and said:
"There are so many nerds in this cultivation world. They will jump into this trap without any hesitation."
"That……"
Pomegranate blinked and said:
"I will go talk to that big brother. Let's make it clear in advance. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."
"Well, I came here today to take advantage of the good things in your blessed land. We have talked about everything we should have talked about and reminisced about the past. I will leave now.
We will have some fun tonight, and tomorrow we will go to Gyeonggi City to do some important work. I have already made an agreement with the City God there, and he will help me collect evidence of Yunhuo Cave’s crimes.”
Pomegranate shook its tail, stood up and was about to leave.
Jiang Xia grabbed the pomegranate that was about to burrow underground, and said to the little mountain monster very seriously:
"If you want to do great things, I, as your friend, cannot stop you. But Shi Liu, you need to change your outspokenness and stop talking about what you are going to do all the time.
If you can’t even keep your mouth shut, what great things can you achieve?
When you go to the capital, be careful. If you encounter any trouble, let the city god go first. Do you understand?"
"You sometimes worry too much. I understand. I have magical powers now. What kind of trouble can I encounter?
Worrying about nothing. "
Shi Liu glared at Jiang Xia.
It waved its paws impatiently, jumped into the ground and disappeared.
After Shi Liu left, Lao Jiang still felt uneasy, but he didn't know where the problem came from.
He sat on the steps in the yard and smoked a cigarette, then he saw Ruyue, who was also wearing an ordinary long dress, appear in the yard.
She said to Jiang Xia:
"Boss, everything is ready."
"Um."
Lao Jiang nodded and instructed Ruyue:
"You have also seen what happened to Old Four today. Those evil cultivators who are not worthy of being mentioned in public have been doing evil things in other places, but now they have extended their claws into our territory.
This is intolerable!
Take Gu Miao out to 'see the world' these few days. Since it's a trip, you should see both the good and the bad."
"That kid is very naughty."
Ruyue was also a little helpless at this moment, she said:
"I'm afraid it's because I don't pay attention."
"Don't bother beating her."
Lao Jiang said casually:
"Of course beating alone won't work. You need to use both hard and soft tactics to educate your children. She's really not as good as our Jasmine who is well-behaved and sensible. So, tell her that this is part of her job for me.
If she does a good job, she will be rewarded afterwards."
"What about mine?"
Kisaragi suddenly asked with a strange look on her face:
"Boss, let's not talk about the bonus first. It seems like my salary hasn't been paid for a long time, right? And the secretary's allowance, I think it should be increased as well.
After all, I am now doing a lot of work besides the daily work of a secretary.
I have to sleep with my boss, it’s a very tiring job… Ouch!”
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Xia curled up his fingers and swung a stream of spiritual power into an arrow, hitting her fair forehead, but it didn't hurt. It was more like a playful flirtation between a man and a woman with an improper relationship than a punishment.
Ruyue giggled, bowed to Jiang Xia, then turned around and walked out with a swaying step. She seemed to be deliberately seducing, and her round buttocks were twisted more charmingly.
Lao Jiang shrugged helplessly. Ever since their relationship became closer, Ruyue always liked to play these little tricks.
That's not a bad thing.
Ruyue's personality is gradually becoming cheerful, the depression and hardship of the past are fading away, and her mood seems to be becoming brighter.
Lao Jiang himself is a good boss.
He enjoys seeing the mental health of his outstanding employees.
Although, this required some "hard" "persuasion" on his part.
But it's all worth it.
Even from the most utilitarian point of view.
Ruyue, who could bring him good luck, was worthy of Lao Jiang's attention. He calmed down, took out a piece of uncut white jade with good texture from the house, and held it in his hand.
While using spiritual power to nourish.
While strolling from his own yard, he came to the Kunlunfang Weapons Workshop not far away, just to walk around and relax.
And this enclosed courtyard is now very busy.
The tall Malte, wearing a small vest, was operating a precision machine tool. Behind him, next to several machine tools that were shaped like an assembly line, were some apprentices in shorts.
Without exception, they all had shaved heads and exuded an aura of well-trained obedience.
Moreover, there is a uniform silver iron plate and a faint blue light on the temples of each person, representing that they are the real core technical personnel in the Kunlunfang consortium.
Seeing these apprentices operating the machine tools in a very professional manner, you can tell that Malte must have trained them very hard.
Seeing the boss coming, the weapon craftsman was about to stop the work at hand, but Jiang Xia waved his hand to stop him, signaling him to continue working and not be affected by him.
Malte is a real rough guy.
Some people were too stubborn and ignored Lao Jiang's inspection and continued to work on their own work.
Governor Hong has placed another order for arms, so the weapons workshop in Kunlunfang will be very busy right now.
Jiang Xia walked to the edge of the warehouse and took out a newly made bolt-action rifle from a wooden box. He held it in his hand like a skilled old musketeer and made a shooting gesture.
He found that compared with the first batch of bolt-action rifles, the new weapons in front of him had obviously undergone technological upgrades.
Although it is still a bolt-action rifle that fires one round at a time, its material and accuracy are a step up from before, and it is now a true killing masterpiece.
It is also equipped with a sharp bayonet and a cowhide belt.
"It seems that Governor Hong's attempt to imitate Lao Li's rifle has been successful. He can now be self-sufficient in the weapons of ordinary soldiers and no longer needs a large number of ordinary firearms."
Jiang Xia took a look at the pile of pipes used as gun barrels stacked nearby, and he knew what was going on. He stroked the little cutie in his hand and thought to himself:
"These high-quality precision weapons are most likely custom-made for the sharpshooters in the army."
Thinking of this, Lao Jiang opened another box of weapons.
Compared to the classic Lao Li bolt-action rifle, the weapons in this box are much shorter, have thicker barrels, shorter aiming surfaces, and are easier to load.
This is a carbine specially made for cavalry and is also the predecessor of the carbine .
Malte has apparently made some technical modifications to them, making them look more like double-barreled shotguns, firing two bullets at a time, but the bullets are compatible with bolt-action rifles.
“It seems that Governor Hong’s military reform has extended from infantry to cavalry. Old Hong is quite capable and should have the full support of the old ruler.
Fengming Country does not have many cavalrymen, and they were used as elite troops in the past."
Lao Jiang glanced at the wooden boxes in the warehouse. The number of carbines was enough to arm thousands of cavalrymen.
He was feeling it more and more now.
The purpose of Governor Hong's training troops does not seem to be that simple, but it is basically impossible for Old Hong to rebel, so it is very suspicious who he is training so many new recruits for.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Xia walked out of the busy weapons workshop again and continued to walk aimlessly along the alleys of Liu's house and the surrounding mansions to other places.
When passing by a small courtyard, Lao Jiang suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"How can you settle the score? I've taught you for so many days, yet you still make such an obvious mistake! Is your brain filled with the white fluid that Old Four ejaculated?
Why are you crying!
Stand up and recalculate!
It’s not good, you are not allowed to eat tonight! "
It's Julie.
Hearing the voice sounded like someone was scolding someone, Lao Jiang secretly lay in the corner and took a look into the yard. He found that Julie, who was dressed quite conservatively, was scolding Mrs. Niu in the yard.
Julie also held a bamboo stick in her hand to supervise Mrs. Niu's clumsy abacus.
But poor Mrs. Niu, a farm girl, had spent most of her life dealing with the land and had never even attended a private school. Although she was now wearing silk and satin and dressed like a noble lady.
But it was really difficult for her to settle the accounts all at once.
There were tears on that pretty face, but she was afraid of Julie and didn't dare to cry out loud.
Old Jiang curled his lips.
There was no interference.
Mrs. Niu married the fourth brother and is now the proprietress of Kunlunfang. The fourth brother does not have many people available, so he wants her to be his secretary.
Other things are fine.
But if she can't even settle the accounts clearly, then that will be the end of Mrs. Niu's life.
As for Mrs. Niu, she was also equipped with a chip, so why didn’t she use the chip to calculate…
She doesn't even know how to read, so it's difficult for her to use the chip even if it's installed. A chip is not a knowledge-infusing machine. It's not omnipotent. Whether it can be used well depends entirely on the individual.
"Julie, come here, I want to ask you something."
Jiang Xia shouted something in the chip communication, and Julie looked up suddenly with a look of surprise. She didn't know that Jiang Xia suddenly came back today, so she walked out of the yard with the smile of meeting old friends again.
Jiang Xia was given a big, warm hug from a mature woman.
"Boss, you came back this time for a private visit."
Julie asked with a smile, then turned her head to let Jiang Xia help her light a ladies' cigarette. Old Jiang laughed and followed Julie along the alley to the next workshop.
He said:
"I just came back to take a look. The fourth brother is doing a good job here, and the business is very prosperous. With your help, I am naturally relieved. However, how is the business of other counties?
There are also the next plans for Kunlun Square.
Tell me about it."
