Since Yin Tianbao intervened and stopped Sward from attacking Su Yang, Su Yang has gained some peace and quiet. He quickly built his hut. In addition to the usual wood and stone materials, Su Yang also used cloud elements to modify the properties of the soil, making it more like cement, which made Su Yang's hut more sturdy.
Similarly, Su Yang also upgraded the surrounding fence, turning the original low fence into a wall as tall as a person. After all, Su Yang didn't like others spying on his life. After the wall was built, Su Yang felt that his small house couldn't see the outside view, so he simply demolished the roof and built another floor. It took Su Yang nearly two months to build the house and he spent a lot of money during that time, but overall the result was good. At least he now has his own two-story house and yard.
After settling his only luggage, Su Yang checked out of the hotel and went into the city to buy some furniture. By "furniture," he meant just getting rid of basic necessities like a bed and pots and pans.
There is only one city on the island, called Bailu City. However, the city is very large. Bailu City has four layers in total, which are arranged in a circle and spread outwards. The outermost layer is the military area, which includes the port and docks. The permanent troops of various countries on the mainland are stationed on this layer. This is an agreement between the countries, after all, the island is not the territory of a single country.
The third floor is the adventurers' guild and commercial area. This floor has a large number of inns, equipment shops, material shops and other businesses. Because a large number of travelers and adventurers gather here, the commerce is very concentrated.
The second layer is the settlement of people who came to the island to participate in the construction at the beginning of the city's founding, which is the residential area. Unlike other mainland countries, there is no distinction between nobles and commoners on the island, only the gap between the rich and the poor. However, most of the families who settled here were in similar conditions.
The first floor houses the city lord's mansion and research and development center, where all the elemental bracelets of the island's garrison will be centrally researched, upgraded, and maintained.
Because the city had already been built, later travelers and adventurers who wanted to settle there could only do so by cultivating land in the surrounding area and obtaining approval. Although this was relatively unsafe, it promoted the development and prosperity of the island from all angles.
After passing through the outermost layer of military checkpoints at the south gate of the city, Su Yang smoothly entered the third-level commercial area. Because it was a circular area and very large, Su Yang did not want to walk around the entire commercial area. So he planned to shop from the south of the city to the west, buy everything he needed, and then return to his residence.
Previously, I wandered around the commercial area without any particular purpose. This time, after patiently exploring the area, I realized that the business model of this other world was indeed different from that of the original world. Most of the shops mainly sold practical goods, such as adventurer supplies and equipment, or daily necessities like food. On the contrary, there were relatively few shops selling clothing and jewelry.
After strolling through several streets, Su Yang bought a simple foldable iron bed and some pots and pans. He then prepared to leave from the west of the city and return. On the way, he passed an elemental array shop. This shop could achieve a certain degree of energy saving by attaching elemental arrays to furniture. For example, the "flush toilet" in the inn was achieved in this way.
Su Yang immediately entered the store, but regretted it as soon as he entered. The store was packed with people, mostly adventurers who had just settled on the island and came to buy elemental arrays. Su Yang watched as the crowd dispersed one by one after making their purchases, until finally he was the only one left. Only then did he stumble through the purchase of the elemental array. He then hurriedly went next door to buy a toilet and arranged a time for its installation. As it was getting late, Su Yang hurriedly left the west side of the city and headed towards his residence.
Meanwhile, in a hidden location underground in Bailu City, a group of men in black robes were gathering.
A man in black robes said:
"According to the information sent back, the Crimson Storm-class adventurer Black Whale Squad is on the island. Therefore, I suggest that our recent actions on the island should not be too conspicuous. To avoid being discovered, everyone except the action team should be equipped with elemental bracelets and travel as normal people."
Another man in black robes chimed in:
“I think it’s feasible. Our trip to the outlying island is just to establish an outpost. We need to avoid exposing ourselves and complete the construction of the sea route. Therefore, the team’s actions should not target the humans on the island, but only the ferocious beasts. The ferocious beasts can still provide us with elemental power.”
"I disagree!" At this moment, a tall man in black robes stepped forward from the crowd and said loudly, "The General Commander sent us here, which naturally means he recognizes the strength of our Three Divisions of Human Extinction. Our Human Extinction Martial Division must not hide!"
"Are you an idiot? Or are all the members of your Military Division brainless like you?" another man in black robes reprimanded. "How many troops are stationed on the island? Do you want to start a war with the entire continent and sabotage the General Headquarters' mission? Chief, I suggest that you immediately urge the Political Division to get to the scene quickly, open up the key points, and complete the construction of the sea transport channels as soon as possible. At the same time, the entire Military Division should recuse itself from this work and only be responsible for the base's security."
"You!" The black-robed man from the Martial Division was about to speak when a slightly aged voice rang out:
"Enough. Tianjue and Dijue are currently carrying out important missions. Right now, apart from the political officers who haven't arrived yet and some personnel from the other two departments, we have no other help. Among the three powers of Tianjue, Dijue, and Renjue, only Renjue is the weakest. But the commander-in-chief still entrusted us with the mission to the island, which means that the commander-in-chief's vision is nearing its final stage. We must ensure that everything goes perfectly. Pass on the order!"
Several men in black robes stepped forward, ready to receive their orders.
"First, all personnel from the Administrative Division and the other two divisions must arrive within five days; those who disobey will be executed. Second, all personnel from the Military Division must not leave the base within one kilometer; those who disobey will be executed. Third, the Technical Division must complete all construction within the base as soon as possible, especially the preparation for the installation of the extraction equipment. Go." After saying this, several men in black robes took their orders and left, thus concluding the gathering.
The people of the Military Division were indignant, feeling that the arrangement by the Chief of the Human Extinction Organization was too unfair, but they could only complain in their hearts. The organization of the Extinction Organization was also strictly ordered according to the strength of its members.
Meanwhile, inside the city lord's mansion, Yin Tianbao was meeting with several people who looked like adventurers in his office.
"Guild Master, does this mean the Blood Squad has already reached the strength of a Crimson Storm-level squad?" The speaker was a level 6 elementalist, and judging from his shining communication card, he was an adventurer of the Pioneer class.
“Yes, the Blood Squad has grown too fast. There are disagreements within the country about how to deal with them. The humans want strict control, while the demons want to let them grow freely. But the Blood Squad is a team made up of demons, and now that they have such strength, whoever can win them over will have more say in the next election.” Yin Tianbao said, rubbing his head, and continued, “But these guys are just a bunch of idiots. They have no interest in anything other than improving their strength.”
"Why not select possessed warriors from the existing garrison, form a small team to subdue them, and escort them back?" another female adventurer suggested.
"Your idea is good, but my term is about to end. I have been stripped of my authority to mobilize the garrison, and the continent is currently negotiating the next city lord. Therefore, this method cannot be implemented. If I cannot resolve the Blood Squad issue during my term, even if I remain the president of the Adventurers' Guild after returning home, my influence within the human race will definitely decline. The various clans will find ways to belittle me. Therefore, I have a plan, and you can listen to my arrangements..."
A crescent moon hangs in the night sky above the island, and countless stars dot the night sky, like stars scattered across a chessboard, depicting a game of deceit and intrigue, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface.
