Join the Army?
Xu Yang shook his head in his heart. If he didn't have a system, joining the army would be a good choice. It would be easier to fight in an organized way, and with official support, resources would be much more relaxed.
But now that I have my own system, I don’t need to pursue those ordinary energy resources to make a breakthrough or join the army to accept control. Generally speaking, the effort and reward are not proportional.
Jiesuo saw Xu Yang's noncommittal expression, and he knew what was going on. He then said, "Hehe, but most of us demons value freedom, and we won't join the army unless we have to."
"In the Bingzhan Continent, many well-connected realm masters will open hotels. We can rent these. Although it costs several million guardian crystals a year, we can afford it."
Oh, yes, the hotel!
An inspiration suddenly flashed through Xu Yang's mind, and he hurriedly asked: "Do you know how these world masters obtained those huge spaces?" He did not forget the purpose of his original coming to the front line, to find a giant spaceship that could accommodate his body size or to buy a world ring.
"This..." Jiesuo was just a domain lord and usually never inquired about such unimportant information.
Xu Yang looked at Jie Suo's hesitant expression, and a trace of disappointment welled up in his heart. He originally thought that Jie Suo, as a domain master who had lived on the front line for many years, would know something about this aspect, but he didn't expect that this question would stump him.
Jiesuo noticed Xu Yang's mood change and said awkwardly: "This... I really don't know. But I can help you find out, maybe other world masters or experienced veterans will know some information."
Since he couldn't find a way to obtain the World Ring for the time being, Xu Yang had to settle for the next best thing: "Can I buy a spaceship that can accommodate my body on the 073rd Military Station Continent?"
"Of course you can, but there have been frequent wars recently, and the gods have just finished their commendation. Everything in the military station continent is serving the war, so it may not be easy to buy." Jie Suo knew the answer to this question. After all, there are so many world masters in the entire military station continent. Given the generally large size of the world masters, customized spacecraft must be required to accommodate them.
"Time is not a problem, money is not a problem, take me first."
"Senior, if you are in a hurry, you can use the 'Class B Exchange Order' you obtained to exchange for a large spaceship at the No. 073 Arms Depot."
Xu Yang looked at Jie Suo speechlessly: "Are you stupid or am I stupid? I can buy a spaceship with money and customize it. Why should I use the precious 'Class B Exchange Order' for something that can be solved with money?"
Jiesuolang blushed, feeling a little embarrassed. Indeed, he was only concerned with making suggestions and did not consider the cost-effectiveness. A large spaceship used by a Realm Lord would cost at most a few hundred billion Guardian Crystals, but the "Class B Exchange Order", a privileged token that can be exchanged for treasures in the No. 073 Arms Depot, can only be issued by the top management of the No. 073 Arms Depot.
Using an exchange order to exchange for a spaceship is simply the stupidest thing to do!
……
The wind is howling.
Xu Yang followed behind Jiesuo, with various tall buildings rapidly passing by under his feet. Intimidated by Xu Yang's aura as the Lord of the Realm, no demons came up to cause trouble.
"Hehe, today I'm all thanks to you, senior. Normally I wouldn't dare to fly in the sky so brazenly." Jie Suo turned his head and said with a flattering smile.
There are levels everywhere, and on this front, it is even more naked. On weekdays, only realm masters can fly freely over the military station continent. If a domain master dares to be so ostentatious, a demon would have come up to teach him a lesson... As for the cosmic level? They dare not leave the ground at all. On this front, the cosmic level is the lowest level. If you don't join the army, you can't even afford to live there!
"You are now at the sixth level of Domain Lord, not far from the realm of Realm Lord." Xu Yang smiled.
Jiesuo nodded, and then said excitedly: "Senior, we are here."
In front of them was a huge lake with a radius of one million miles. There was a clear dividing line in the center of the lake. Half of it was cold but unfrozen ice-blue water, while the other half was red, like boiling magma. There were many huge factories around the lake, and huge forging machines were constantly drawing cold springs and lava. Between extreme cold and extreme heat, metal ores were crushed and impurities in metal molds were constantly discharged.
In the center of the lake, there stands a giant stone tablet hundreds of miles high with three large characters on it - Ice Flame Lake!
The three big characters are powerful and have a terrifying aura lingering around them, which can shake your heart just by looking at them.
"It's another immortal writing, deliberately leaving behind aura to shock those who come after." Xu Yang took a look and then looked away. The carving of the Seven Lights Society on Fengtan Star was also like this. Just one look at it would make people's hearts sway.
"Actually, there is a shop here that customizes large warships. The boss of the shop has an old relationship with the Realm Master I followed before. However, it is not convenient for me to take you to find it now." Jiesuo landed first and apologized to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang followed Jie Suo and landed at the Bingyan Lake, nodding his head in understanding. Jie Suo was a wise man who knew the times, but a traitor. The previous Jie Lord he followed had just died, and he found a new one the next day. It was a seamless transition... Xu Yang was also afraid that if he followed Jie Suo, he would be kicked out by his boss.
After reaching the ground, the boundary rope was of no use, so naturally he had to follow Xu Yang obediently.
Huh, huh.
Taking light steps, he walked into the giant factories surrounding the Ice Flame Lake. The entire factory complex was extremely large, and each factory building was actually a large factory that integrated order taking, forging, and sales.
……
The Tianxing Pavilion in Bingyan Lake covers an area of over ten thousand miles, with countless giant machines. Many cosmic-level monsters that cannot survive but are afraid to join the army to die work here to earn money. Although it is hard and tiring, they can earn several times more than in the rear.
Tianxing Pavilion.
The giant machines were all floating buildings on the water, connected by floating wooden bridges and separated by wooden plank roads. From time to time, giant water dragons were sucked by the machines and poured into the machines to forge molds. At this time, a noble Bai Ze with a lion body, two horns on his head and a goatee walked on the wooden plank road. Behind him, there were two red-haired monkeys holding whips. "Heh, Ding Yi must have been lazy, he should be punished!" Bai Ze's eyes were sharp, and he found that the floating island area with the "Ding Yi" mark was behind schedule.
Bai Ze’s words are orders.
The whips in the hands of the two red-haired monkeys swung out like lightning, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, accurately hitting the cosmic-level monsters that were constantly carrying ore.
"what!!"
"Sir, have mercy!!"
Suddenly, howls of pain were heard on the floating island.
There was even a raccoon monster that was whipped by a red-haired ape and thrown into the Ice Flame Lake. The extreme cold and extreme heat alternated, and the raccoon monster's hair turned visibly black. Then it was frozen by the extremely cold lake water, forming a thin layer of frost.
Its skin cracked rapidly under such extreme temperature changes, and its blood froze before it could flow out, forming strange red ice crystals.
"help me……"
"Hmph!" Bai Ze snorted coldly.
Hearing this voice of dissatisfaction, the red-haired ape who had just whipped the raccoon cat into the Ice Flame Lake shuddered, and the vine whip in his hand was suddenly infused with the Force, turning it into a spirit snake and gently rolled up, and immediately the dying raccoon cat monster was fished out.
"These are all my assets. If you do this again, you will be punished in the hard labor room."
There was a glimmer of fear in the red-haired monkey's eyes. It was obvious that the so-called coolie room was definitely not a good place to go.
After dealing with this little incident, Bai Ze continued to inspect his factory with the two supervisors behind him. If they encountered anyone who was lazy, they would punish them severely with a rattan whip as usual. These cosmic-level laborers were beaten with blood marks all over their bodies in the hands of the domain lord-level supervisors in just a few whips.
However, once they enter this 'sweatshop', their lives are no longer in their own hands, so they can only endure it and dare not resist.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The sound of fast-running footsteps could be heard on the wooden plank road. In the distance, a red monkey shouted, "Master Bai, we have a big business coming to you. Big business!"
The visitor was his confidant, and when he heard the word "big business", a gleam of light flashed in Bai Ze's eyes.
"Tell me clearly, what kind of business is it?"
The red ape ran up to Bai Ze breathlessly, bowed respectfully, and then said anxiously: "Master Bai, there is a master of the realm outside, and he wants to order a giant spaceship."
Hearing the word "realm master", Bai Ze was delighted. On this military station continent, the people who were most willing to do business were the realm masters. They made money quickly and spent money without hesitation!
"Come on, follow me out to greet them. Chi San, you didn't neglect the guests, did you?" Bai Ze walked in front and asked in a faint voice.
Chi San, who was still catching his breath, shook his head like a rattle when he heard this and quickly explained, "We have arranged for them to be in the highest-level reception room. We absolutely dare not neglect them."
"Well, not that stupid." Bai Ze praised him indifferently. Chi San's back was wet with cold sweat. The last person Bai Ze called stupid had been made into a carpet.
……
After a while.
He asked the two red-haired monkeys behind him to put away their whips and put on a friendly smile.
Bai Ze walked in the front, and said to Xu Yang and Jie Suodao, who were sitting on a soft fur sofa, with a smile on his face: "I am sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest."
Xu Yang glanced around.
At first glance, Bai Ze had a very kind face, giving people a friendly feeling. As for the two red-haired monkeys behind him, their smiles were a bit forced, with a fake smile on their face.
"No way, it's me who needs a favor. You can just call me Gu You." Xu Yang didn't act politely just because he was a customer. He stood up and responded with a smile.
"Hahaha, you're joking. Please take a seat, Mr. Gu." Bai Ze revealed the aura of a second-level Realm Lord. How could he occupy an area of over ten thousand miles near the Ice Flame Lake and set up a factory without the strength of a Realm Lord?
