Chapter 42 System Upgrade 2.0
In addition to their families and the dozens of people Tang Wen recruited in the past month, the total number is more than 500.
The land area did not increase, but the wealth index increased by more than 30,000 taels of gold.
Naturally, it refers to what he brought back from Yunhai City last time, although part of it was also spent on buying people.
However, he made another fortune from Shen Xihe.
In addition, Chibafang is also worth hundreds of thousands of taels, so the wealth index naturally increased.
As for the skill, perhaps because the 'Nine Revolutions of Fish and Dragon' given by Yang Yun is a top-grade earth-level skill, the absorption of popularity energy has been greatly improved.
Another reason is that the system upgrade to 2.0 brings more benefits.
Therefore, his skills were improved by two levels, and he directly entered the eighth level of inner Gang realm.
The luggage carrying capacity increased to 1,000 tons and the stay time was extended by ten days. What made Tang Wen even happier was that he could open the second gate of travel.
According to the system, it is another world, and Tang Wen is quite fascinated by it.
"Brother Yang, did you do your last thing?" Tang Wen asked with a smile while drinking tea.
"It has been delivered. It seems to be in good condition. It should be found in the next few days." Yang Yun said with a happy smile.
"Then I have to congratulate Brother Yang in advance." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"You have recruited so many people today, congratulations." Yang Yun said with a smile.
"By the way, did Kang Qingfeng interrogate Qiao Xiao again later?" Tang Wen asked.
“I was interrogated again and beaten again.
He is forcing you, and he is sure that you will know.
When the time comes, I will fight you. I guess we will fight every three or five times in the future.
This person is so hateful.
However, your subordinate was very tough and didn't even cry out in pain even when he was beaten half to death," Yang Yun said.
"Do you think it would be helpful if we go directly to the provincial capital to find people from the Six Gates?" Tang Wen asked.
“Probably not, unless you have a very close relationship.
Otherwise, Kang Qingfeng will use the fact that he is planning to set up a branch as an excuse. Do you think the people in the provincial hall will help you to ruin their plans?
Brother, if it really doesn't work, just give way.
One thousand merits is one thousand merits, let's be patient, suffering a loss is a blessing." Yang Yun shook his head.
"This is not a matter of suffering a loss. If I endure it this time, he will be even more aggressive next time. By then, I'm afraid the entire Qianyefang will be occupied by him." Tang Wen said this after taking a look at the popularity above Yang Yun's head.
Because he found that Yang Yun's popularity was slightly biased towards himself.
If his popularity was moderate and upright, Tang Wen would not have said this, because popularity represents a person's attitude toward himself.
"I think Kang Qingfeng has this plan." Yang Yun snorted.
"If you can't tolerate it, let him fall. Brother Yang, please find out more about him for me when you go back. You don't have to show up, I'll do it!" Tang Wen sneered.
"This..." Yang Yun was hesitating, and his popularity was swaying from side to side.
"It doesn't matter if Brother Yang is in a difficult situation. After all, he is the leader of the Six Gates, and he has powerful skills. The entire Six Gates is standing behind him." Tang Wen said.
"Damn it! I'll have someone send it to Qianyefang when I get the news.
However, I only collect information and don't care about anything else.
Also, even if I get caught, I won’t admit that I helped you search for information.” Yang Yun said .
Tang Wen discovered that the popularity was no longer wavering and was firmly in his favor.
This showed that Yang Yun was determined to help him, and he felt relieved.
"I understand!" Tang Wen nodded, patted a gift box next to him, and said with an ambiguous smile, "This is wine, and a set of rouge, lipstick and perfume for women.
Of course, it was not the low-quality goods they bought in Yanling County.
Brother Yang never charges money, so I'll give you some wine. Go back and sit with your wife to enjoy it.
Women, sometimes, also need to be coaxed.
Otherwise, a fire in the backyard would be quite a headache."
"Hahaha, brother, we are of the same mind." Yang Yun laughed, then turned around and said, "Brother, you are almost seventeen and still single.
To manage such a large family business, it is impossible without a sensible woman.
At your age, many people have three wives and four concubines."
"Haha, I'm still young, no rush." Tang Wen quickly shook his head.
"You are still young. Others of your age are already fathers." Yang Yun said.
The area of Chu State was much larger than that of China. Due to the limitations of ancient backward technology, the court probably had no way of accurately calculating its exact size in square kilometers.
Decades of good weather and good harvests have brought peace and happiness to the people.
It is very common for girls to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it is also very normal for boys to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which leads to a trend of getting married with wives and children.
In addition, there were no contraceptive measures, and more and more children were born, even though the country has suffered constant disasters in the past three or four years.
The national strength declined seriously, wars broke out everywhere, banditry continued, and the number of robbers who occupied the mountains and ruled as kings was more than ten times that of before.
However, this did not stop the people from having more children than usual, because it had become a habit.
As a result, the population of Chu State remained high, reaching over one billion.
There have been wars every year to defend the country.
The court's army, yamen runners, constables, disciples of the Six Gates, and the imperial guards have expanded every year, and this year the total number is as many as four to five million.
There are nearly 20 to 30 million martial artists of all sizes, and one out of every fifty people practices martial arts.
However, most of them are weak warriors of the ninth or tenth rank, and warriors above the sixth rank are rare.
It has been half a year since Tang Wen traveled here. In the huge Yanling City, the only strong people he has seen are Yang Yun and Kang Qingfeng. Both of them are estimated to be of the sixth or fifth rank.
Of course, Qiao Xiao is estimated to have the strength of the sixth level.
Tang Jun, Zhao Du, Zhan Zhao and others are all at the seventh or eighth level.
Therefore, Tang Wen urgently needed to recruit a few sixth-grade warriors to support the situation.
If he had a few sixth-grade warrior slaves by his side at all times, he would not dare to speak so arrogantly when facing Kang Qingfeng.
After all, if I can't defeat you openly, I can send someone to kill you secretly.
Killing was not a new thing in the State of Chu, and many people were killed every day.
Even the powerful disciples of the Six Gates were killed every day.
It’s just that the sixth-grade warrior is called the ‘Outer Gang Realm’. Such a master can release his inner Gang to hurt people within three meters away, so he is very difficult to find.
Even if there are, it would cost a lot of money a year to hire them.
The most important thing is that these warriors are all small overlords and are quite domineering.
Asking him to sell himself to the Tang family as a slave would be harder than climbing to the sky.
Of course, a strong man of this level still cannot stop bullets .
Tang Wen had a pistol with him for self-defense, so he felt a little safer.
However, they are very agile and have great skills in light body skills, so it is quite difficult to hit them when they are on guard.
Yang Yun left with the gift very satisfied, and the constables and officers who came with him received red envelopes containing two taels of silver and a bag of pearl rice, and they all returned to Yanling happily.
"Captain Yang, from now on, if you have business trips, just send me to Koh Samui."
"Captain Yang's friends are our brothers..."
…
Look, all of Captain Yang’s men are crying and shouting about wanting to go to Koh Samui to run errands.
In the middle of the night, Tang Wen entered the 'landlord space'.
Suddenly, the totems around lit up, and at the same time, two beams of light, one black and one white, shot towards the large screen facing due north in the space.
The next moment, I found that the data on the big screen was constantly updating.
It took several minutes to stabilize, and the bold words at the top showed: Landlord Space System Upgraded to 2.0.
New system features:
1. You can open 1,000 popular gates and travel to another world.
2. Before and after the crossing, you can cache the gifts you brought and continue to stay in the space for half a day.
3. The popularity level is upgraded to the ninth level.
4. The speed of gaining popularity doubles.
Tang Wen stood in front of the popularity gate. He really wanted to push open the second gate marked with 1,000 popularity.
However, he didn't know what the other world behind that door was.
This time he traveled through time mainly to purchase cement and steel bars, and to order a batch of archers, in preparation for expanding his personal guard to 200 people.
If we travel back to ancient times, where there is no cement, wouldn't the purpose of this trip be ruined?
Therefore, Tang Wen did not dare to take the risk.
He decided to go through the first door. When he put his hand on the door, he found a map appeared on it.
There are five domains shown on the map, namely the East Domain, South Domain, West Domain, North Domain, and Central Domain.
Tang Wen pointed his finger at the Southern Region, and the map of the Southern Region immediately enlarged.
Tang Wen discovered a map of the Great East Republic, on which the location of Yunhai City was prominently marked.
It seems that after the system was upgraded to 2.0, the destination crossing aspect has also been improved and is much more detailed.
Unlike before, when I stepped in blindly, I had no idea where the system would take me.
It’s different now. You can set your own destination. This map feels a bit like a replica of the navigation system.
Tang Wen hesitated for a moment, then directly clicked on Yunhai City. The map zoomed in again, and Tang Wen saw the house he rented.
