Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 44: The Gate to the Strange World
Providing secondary education for international students has always been Fang You’s idea.
Previously, he was hindered by the fact that the Xinhuo force was not strong enough and the facilities were not perfect enough. Now that the conditions are gradually met and many countries are looking forward to it, he just goes with the flow.
Not only can you earn favors, but you can also earn tuition fees, work for free, and cultivate and improve the overall strength of Blue Star.
Overall it's a five-win situation.
He won four times and the nations won once.
However, the idea has not been perfected yet, and he is currently working with Xiao Huan to formulate rules.
The best secretary Xiao Huan was wearing a formal work suit and sitting opposite him. Although her body was illusory and could not be seen with the naked eye, she even picked up a pen and twirled it between her green fingers.
She can interfere with reality a little.
As Fang You improved, Xiao Huan's spiritual power soared to 210 points. Due to the special nature of the illusory spirit, her power was still very weak, like a mirage in the water. But as Fang You continued to improve, perhaps one day, the illusory spirit Xiao Huan would be able to turn from virtual to real and become a truly complete life.
Xiao Huan did not have these meaningless thoughts. She was spinning the pen in her hand, and her conscious mind was working rapidly as she was compiling and organizing the information.
Soon, as she pointed her finger, portraits of people popped up on the desktop.
"Master, these are the students who meet your requirements and can be approved for further ~!"
There are not many people, there are 11 people in total from three countries including Sunset Country, and there are 66 suitable people from Donghuang Country.
Fang You is still relatively cautious about this first batch of pilot trainees and will wait and see the results.
"These people have actually reached the level of Xinhuo graduates, and many of them are even more outstanding. It would be a bit of a waste and inappropriate to have them come back for further study and then arrange them as students."
"You can adopt a part-time work-study model, where you can work to earn credits and study more by self-study, just like many graduates of Xinhuo did."
He believed that students from Sunset Country and other countries would like this approach very much.
They wish there were more ways to earn points.
They got points and exchanged them for teaching materials, and Xinhuo gained more workers, which is a win-win situation.
The only question is, what kind of part-time jobs should be assigned to these trainees?
"You can refer to the quasi-formal students. The tasks can be divided into several categories, such as teaching assistant, stationing, transportation, and defense assistance. In addition to these, I need to open up more ways to work."
The overall combat capability of Blue Star needs to be cultivated and improved, but at the same time, these combat capabilities and outstanding awakeners cannot be wasted.
Let them create more value.
Grab with both hands and squeeze with both hands.
But what other jobs are suitable for international students to shine?
He held his chin in his hand and thought.
Suddenly, a ding sound rang in my ears.
〔bite!〕
[Tip: Xinhuo Yuguijie has walked a total of 333 kilometers, and the exploration level of Guijie has been upgraded to LV3, and a new function "Guijie Shuttle Gate" has been obtained. Please check for details.]
——
[Gate to the Strange World]
[Explanation: Consume 1,000 ghost crystals to build a shuttle gate in the real world and the ghost world. These two shuttle gates can only be activated when they are in the same position, connecting the real world and the underworld, allowing free travel.]
[Note: To use the strange world shuttle gate, both physical strength and mental strength must be greater than 10 points, and you can bring others with you.]
The entry conditions are slightly different from those for entering the secret area, but the overall difficulty is similar.
It doesn't matter.
There are many people within Xinhuo who meet the requirements.
"Has Xinhuo's cumulative walking distance reached 333 kilometers?"
"No, if it's just the number of steps, it's much higher than this. For example, the distance between the secret place of Kangaroo Country and the mineral vein is three kilometers, so a round trip is six kilometers. Ten people would be sixty kilometers, and a hundred people would be six hundred kilometers."
And when An Jianyou, a part-time teacher, led a team to the mine to build the Bonfire Outpost, there were more than a hundred people on that trip.
That's definitely not how steps are counted.
In the past, there was only one team of three or two people entering the strange world, and there was no difference. But now...
"The cumulative distance walked is the total distance walked by all Xinhuo members, but it should be the distance walked by new members to explore the fog. The distance walked repeatedly is not counted."
Come to think of it.
Otherwise, he could simply arrange some people to circle around the campfire base to increase the exploration distance.
——Well, I’ve tried it actually.
The campfire stronghold garrison mission he wrote required patrolling and walking a sufficient number of laps.
However, the "exploration distance" of this module is a hidden number that cannot be seen or experimented with on a daily basis.
There is indeed no loophole.
Fang You pondered.
The strategic significance of the gate to the ghost world is very great. Not only does it provide an additional entrance to the ghost world, but more importantly, the location of this entrance can be chosen by him.
This is the key to strategy!
"At present, the only mineral vein that Xinhuo is mining is the one that is only three kilometers away from the secret place."
"Other discovered mineral veins are hundreds or thousands of kilometers away from the secret place."
Fang You remembered that within the territory of Shuizezhou, on the side of the Guijie, there was a rich mine of white iron stone.
This type of ore is highly versatile and is used in the production of most standard weapons. Comrade Lao Wang has been complaining that there is not enough ore and that other materials have to be used as substitutes, which has increased costs and reduced the rate of top-quality products.
This shows the importance of white iron stone.
Mineral veins like white iron ore originally did not have the conditions for mining, even if Xinhuo's overall strength was increased several times or even dozens of times. But now, as long as a shuttle gate is set up directly at the location of the mine, the mining method of "the mine is right at my doorstep" can be realized.
…
Half a day later,
Shuizezhou, Linshan City, a high-end residential area.
The target villa, together with several surrounding detached villas, have now all been bought by Xinhuo, well, bought by a company under Xinhuo's name.
The price is not expensive.
The real estate industry is facing a cold winter in this era. As a leader in world trends, Fang You is more aware that in a while, most of the land and buildings in the world will have to be abandoned.
Today's real estate is a real bubble that will burst at the slightest provocation, but the construction industry still has a promising future.
Of course, the reason for buying these villas was not because of boredom, but because the coordinates of the pyrite mine were right here, in the city.
When he arrived, Xu Tian was already waiting here with several staff members.
They stand tall and straight, like soldiers waiting for inspection.
"Hello, teacher!" "Hello, Miss An."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Fang You looked around. It was quite deserted here, and the villa was located in the back. But he still said, "Seal off the whole place now."
"yes!"
Walk inside.
When the door was closed, the whole villa immediately fell into darkness. Because the windows of the villa had been retrofitted, it looked like an ordinary villa from the outside, but from the inside, it was tightly sealed.
This was also his order.
Snap!
Fang You turned on the light, and the light dispelled the darkness.
Looking at An, who had just been on vacation for two days and was pulled over by him, he said, "The white iron ore should be around here."
"Yeah." She nodded, and a faint blue light flashed in her eyes.
"I saw it, just over a hundred meters away. There are no powerful evil spirits around here, only a few three stars at most."
Things change, and Samsung is a little weird now.
Fang You sighed and took out a palm-sized silver door frame from Tianluo's hand. This was made by the exploration module, and the "array base" had not yet been installed or activated.
Install!
The silver door frame flew up and grew larger in the wind, transforming into a 2.8-meter-high and 2.2-meter-wide single-sided door to the strange world.
With the guidance of his mental power, the shuttle gate was firmly installed in the space here.
mosaic.
This completes the installation.
It still looks like a door frame, but the frames on both sides are not attached to the ground, but slightly suspended from the ground. However, this door cannot be pushed, it is not fixed to the floor, but fixed in space.
Even if the whole villa was demolished and the ground was dug up, the door still couldn't be opened.
"Can I use this door to enter the strange world? How magical!"
An Jianyou moved around the door frame, blinking his big eyes with curiosity and surprise.
He also reached out and poked it and shook it.
Pushed a little harder.
The girl didn't dare to use too much force, and her cautious look made Fang You laugh.
"This door isn't that fragile."
It’s a high-end product worth one thousand strange crystals!
He wanted to say just push it casually, use some force, and exert some strength, but suddenly he remembered that Sister An was a fifth-level awakener, so she should improve her swordsmanship, drink various secret medicines, and exercise regularly.
She looks weak, but she is really strong enough to move mountains. At least she can throw a bus like a toy.
He quickly stopped talking and changed the subject.
"If we want to enter the strange world, we have to install another shuttle gate in the strange world. Only when the two gates are combined into one can we penetrate the reality and the sub-reality."
"What are you waiting for? Let's get started!"
Sister An is positive.
Starting from where she was standing, the netherworld quickly extended out , enveloping the two of them.
In just a moment, the environment in front of me changed drastically.
The brand new villa was covered with cracks, and its walls were gray, making it look dilapidated and old, as if it had been washed away by many years.
All kinds of weird and evil roars could be heard in my ears.
It lasted less than three seconds before it all disappeared.
Several of An Jianyou's evil spirits had already escaped from the house through the Netherworld and started killing indiscriminately.
Fang You didn't have to do anything, just take out the bright torch and light it gently.
Looking outside the house, you can see that more than a hundred meters away, the area that was originally the back mountain of the community has changed its direction. There are no more trees on the mountain, it is bare, and white gravel rolls down from time to time.
That is the marcasite deposit.
If it is normal,
Installing the shuttle gate requires flying thousands of miles, and it is unclear how many dangers one will encounter along the way, how long it will take, whether one will get lost, etc.
It's very difficult, but An's ability to use backdoors reduces the difficulty level to the point where you just need a hand.
As expected, he is a functional apostle.
That’s not right. Not only is she functional, An Jianyou is also the combat force of Xinhuo. She is the number one worker, a wealthy woman, a collector of the Guixie Picture Book, and has irreplaceable cross-border abilities. She is an all-round baby!
then,
Fang You also handed over the task of installing the portal to the strange world to Sister An.
Those who are capable should work harder.
He just needs to be a quiet torchbearer.
Under the guidance of mental power, the shuttle portal and strange interface were embedded in the same position, and the installation was completed with a click.
With a sound of "activate", the gate to the strange world hummed and vibrated, and a blue light filled the empty door frame.
Like a whirlpool, light particles are diffused.
Fang You inserted the torch into the floor, turned his head and looked at An Jianyou.
"Let's go."
"Um."
The two of them stepped into the door together.
Suddenly, the world spun, and the soft incandescent light from the villa fell in front of me.
