Chapter 575: Lack of Support, Need to Make Up for It
Chapter 575 The lack of assistance needs to be made up for.
Zhengtian City, Yuheng Tower.
"Rather than calling this a building, I feel it's more like a commercial castle." City Lord Hu looked up and glanced at the towering Yuheng Tower, then his gaze moved down, sweeping over the wide and long body of the Yuheng Tower, finally landing on the entrance on the ground floor.
At the entrance of Yuheng Tower, a crowd had already gathered, slowly queuing to enter the building.
"This area is designated for commercial activities. Although the area is a bit large, the Ye family is willing to pay taxes, and those old bastards who secretly violated the law have been dealt with. If Ye Ling Shuang wants to turn the entire neighborhood into a commercial street, let her be. It won't affect us anyway."
A burly middle-aged man standing behind Lord Hu said that since the Ye family abides by the law and brings huge tax revenue to Zhengtian City, as long as they do not violate morality or break the law, they can sell whatever they want.
"That's true, but Old Wang, I'm just not used to it. After all, those old guys used to be so arrogant." City Lord Hu smiled and led his head guard towards Yuheng Tower.
The Ye family members guarding the main gate recognized Lord Hu at a glance. Two of them went forward to greet Lord Hu, while the others quickly put up a banner.
Upon seeing this, Lord Hu and Old Wang rushed over in surprise.
Old Wang immediately became vigilant; he was always wary of powerful families like the Ye family.
Lord Hu wasn't afraid of being tricked. After all, with so many people around, what could you possibly do to the city lord?
"Lord Hu, welcome, welcome! This way please!" A member of the Ye family walked five steps in front of Lord Hu with an unusually enthusiastic smile and gestured for him to enter the Jade Balance Tower.
When the banner was put up, both Lord Hu and Old Wang were stunned.
The banner read, "Warmly welcome the city lord and leaders to visit and provide guidance!" Several members of the Ye family stood in two rows and shouted in unison.
The attention of the people in line was drawn to this, wanting to see what was happening.
"What is going on?" Lord Hu was filled with doubt. He had never seen such a situation before.
"I don't know, I haven't read many books." Old Wang simply crossed his arms and began to act as a cool and aloof bodyguard.
As long as he stays silent and follows behind his boss, if he really embarrasses himself, it will be his boss who embarrasses himself.
Lord Hu followed behind the Ye family member who was leading the group, looking completely bewildered.
Stepping inside what he considered a commercial castle, the layout and bustling atmosphere left him feeling overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it.
Arriving at the central open-air restaurant on the fifth floor, Lord Hu finally met the main character he was to meet today.
"Lord City Lord, hello. My name is Ye Nanxiao." Ye Nanxiao reached out and shook hands with Lord Hu.
"Oh, hello Brother Ye!" Lord Hu sat down, and everything new around him attracted his attention.
It was completely different from the restaurant style commonly seen in the empire, and even the structure of the commercial building was something he had never seen before.
"Brother Ye, did you... return from the Sun Moon Empire?" City Lord Hu thought for a long time, and finally could only conclude that it might be the architectural style of the Sun Moon Empire.
Ye Nanxiao nodded. He had indeed studied at Mingde Hall for a period of time. City Lord Hu and Old Wang were looking around with great curiosity. It was worth the time he spent designing the blueprints himself, bringing out memories of "commercial plazas" from the depths of his mind.
Halfway through Ye Nanxiao's conversation with City Lord Hu, City Lord Hu exclaimed, "Brother Ye is truly remarkable for his age! To be able to build such a magnificent building as the Jade Balance Tower in a martial arts family like the Ye family is far superior to the grandchildren of those old fogies! I reckon there have been quite a few people outside since we started talking!"
"Maybe it's because the shop is newly opened and the discounts are great, so there are a lot of people coming to support it." Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin. He hadn't started any promotional activities yet and planned to open for two days to see how much foot traffic there was.
The results were surprisingly good. At least today, the entire Yuheng Tower didn't have to close. The queue outside had been going on for an hour and the number of people hadn't decreased. Local residents and residents from nearby small cities all came over.
Clearly, the concept of a commercial plaza is too novel for residents of the mainland.
To avoid the Jade Balance Tower appearing out of place on the mainland, Ye Nanxiao also deliberately incorporated a large number of architectural styles belonging to the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.
After confirming with City Lord Hu what benefits the Jade Balance Tower would bring to the City Lord's Mansion in the future and what the City Lord's Mansion needed to pay attention to maintaining the safety and order of the Jade Balance Tower area, both sides obtained the conditions and benefits they wanted.
After seeing Lord Hu off, Ye Nanxiao led Shen Ciyuan to a cleaning room in the far corner of the first floor of Yuheng Tower.
Ye Nanxiao stood in front of the door, reached out and gently tapped the doorknob. A faint red light swept across it, and then the doorknob turned automatically.
"Aren't you afraid that someone might sneak over here and discover our secret base?" Shen Ciyuan asked.
"These two commercial streets will not be rented out. There will always be signs saying 'No Trespassing' for renovations. No one will come, so they won't be discovered. If someone does break in, I'll have to fire a lot of security guards." Ye Nanxiao smiled. There were also a lot of Tang Clan security mechanisms on the floor and walls leading to the underground base. This alone was enough to block most of the spies' way.
Shen Ciyuan knew that three underground levels of Yuheng Tower had been dug out and used as a secret base. The first underground level was responsible for monitoring the flow of people on the ground floor, the second underground level was used for research and development, and only Ye Nanxiao knew what the third level was for.
The underground base is currently sparsely populated and unusually quiet; you can hear echoes even after walking just a few steps.
Ye Nanxiao led Shen Ciyuan to the third underground level, where a miniature laboratory was located.
"That big gun in the middle is called a space teleporter. It's used to create space channels. This place will become a rapid response base. The Heavenly Soul Empire is your territory, and I plan to hand this place over to you," Ye Nanxiao said, patting Shen Ciyuan on the shoulder.
"I'll take charge?!" Shen Ciyuan said, somewhat tempted.
He had spent a lot of time with Feng Shiyi in Aodu, and with Ye Nanxiao's deliberate authorization, he learned a great deal. Naturally, he understood the multiple meanings behind the words "person in charge" that Ye Nanxiao was referring to at this moment.
The most important point is that you have truly entered Ye Nanxiao's heart, and are not just an ordinary employee.
After a brief moment of excitement, Shen Ciyuan returned to normal, pointed at the space teleporter in the middle, and asked, "Let me guess, this thing can not only teleport supplies, but also people?"
"People may not be an option for now. I haven't tested the physical strength data of anyone other than myself. However, resources are an option. I'm working on it as quickly as possible, and we'll be able to transport combat personnel soon." Ye Nanxiao looked at the space teleporter lying in the center, a flame burning in his eyes.
Tangmen.
"A spatial teleportation channel? Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, are you sure this thing was placed in the second-floor laboratory by Ni Jiang?" Huo Yuhao, holding a shield, looked in horror at the soul tool that Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were circling around.
In the face of these two daring and lively individuals, it seemed that only this heavy soul-guided shield could give Huo Yuhao a sense of security.
The image of Ye Nanxiao throwing these two guys into a gravitational black hole to take a bath last time was still lingering in Huo Yuhao's mind.
"It's alright, it's alright! Nanxiao even left us the instruction manual!" Xu Sanshi grinned and patted his chest loudly.
To verify the authenticity of Xu Sanshi's words, Beibei even took out a small white booklet, which was the user manual left by Ye Nanxiao.
Hearing that there was an instruction manual, Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his grip on the soul shield loosened considerably.
There are instructions, so even if Beibei and Xu Sanshi can't understand them, at least I can understand them, so there won't be any major accidents.
He knew that Ye Nanxiao had included the space teleporter in his top priority list. These kinds of soul tools are either incredibly powerful or have strategic significance.
Huo Yuhao took the booklet from Bei Bei and began to read it.
A moment later, Huo Yuhao raised his head and met two pairs of bright, sparkling eyes.
Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi were looking at Huo Yuhao with passionate eyes.
"How is it? How do I play?" *2
"Uh..." Huo Yuhao was shocked by the intense passion in those two pairs of eyes and couldn't help but take a half step back.
He had a bad feeling about it.
"The steps to activate this soul tool are not very complicated. However, this soul tool, well, I didn't say whether it can turn people into living beings." Huo Yuhao refined his words, trying to make his senior brothers understand that this space teleporter seemed to be able to only teleport inanimate objects.
As expected, Xu Sanshi's eyes widened in surprise after hearing this. He stroked his chin like Ye Nanxiao, trying to understand Huo Yuhao's words.
Beibei glanced at Xu Sanshi, who had transformed into "Thinking Sheep," stroked her stubble-covered chin, and asked, "So, this thing can only transport goods?"
"That can't be right. Nanxiao was having a blast before! Flying around all day like he was teleporting!" Xu Sanshi raised his hand and said.
"Oh? You've experienced it yourself? Then there shouldn't be any major problems." Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully, but he felt like he had forgotten something.
Huo Yuhao, who couldn't think of anything for the moment, simply stopped thinking about it, since Ye Nanxiao had already personally tested it on him.
"Let's get started!" Xu Sanshi glanced at the instruction manual, immediately started adjusting the data, and activated the space teleporter.
The latest novel is first published here!
A silver beam of light was projected out, accompanied by streaks of lightning.
Huo Yuhao checked and found that Xu Sanshi had specially adjusted the short-range data.
Two spatial gates, accompanied by lightning-shaped clouds, appeared out of thin air, with a distance of no more than three meters between them.
"I'll try the shortest passage!" Xu Sanshi casually picked up a crumpled piece of paper and tossed it into the spatial portal.
The crumpled paper quickly flew out from another spatial portal and landed on the ground.
Beibei's right hand transformed into cold jade. She picked up the crumpled paper and examined it carefully. She found that the paper was not damaged and its shape had not even changed.
"OK! Safe!"
Xu Sanshi immediately ran to get something larger to use as an experimental tool.
Huo Yuhao looked at the space gate flashing with silver light and couldn't help but take a few steps closer. This was yet another soul tool that Ye Nanxiao had put ahead of him.
"As expected of Muddy, his space technology is amazing." Huo Yuhao quickly thought through the information, but he couldn't even figure out the basic principle of this space teleporter.
A bolt of silver lightning suddenly erupted from the spatial gate and landed on Huo Yuhao's outstretched hand.
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao felt as if he had been electrocuted, a tingling sensation spreading through his fingertips.
"Junior Brother?" Bei Bei was startled when she saw Huo Yuhao using his hand to catch the lightning dancing on the spatial gate.
"Senior Brother, I'm fine." Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, and looking at the silver lightning dancing on his palm, his heart suddenly burned with excitement.
Perhaps, by stepping inside, one can grasp a glimpse of the principle behind this spatial gate?
With his thoughts flowing freely, Huo Yuhao immediately conjured a frost armor around his body. After a moment's thought, he turned and pulled out the astronaut protective suit that Ye Nanxiao had given him from his belt, then put it on.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao's actions, Bei Bei immediately understood Huo Yuhao's thoughts.
"Are you sure, Junior Brother?" Bei Bei asked. Although he didn't know much about soul tools, Huo Yuhao had been studying soul tools with Ye Nanxiao, so his understanding of soul tools was definitely deeper than his.
"It's alright, I didn't sense any danger." Huo Yuhao pointed to his forehead. The Eye of Destiny hadn't issued a single warning, and according to the instruction manual, the spatial passage was currently in a stable state.
A spatial passage in a stable state is relatively safe.
Beibei paused for a moment, then nodded. He believed that since Ye Nanxiao had given him and Xu Sanshi this space teleporter, it meant that he had already experimented with it in various ways.
Holding a positioning soul tool in his hand, Huo Yuhao nodded to Bei Bei and stepped into the spatial gate.
Beibei stared intently at the other end of the spatial passage, eager to catch a glimpse of Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao, who had just entered the spatial passage, was captivated by the silvery world before him.
The silver sky seemed to contain countless stars, like a galaxy.
"How beautiful!" Huo Yuhao exclaimed. Then he felt a repulsive force pushing him from behind towards the exit of the spatial passage.
Huo Yuhao cautiously used his enhanced protective soul power to maintain his posture and fly towards the exit.
A wisp of soul power emanated from the spatial passage, drifting towards the starry river in the sky.
High above the heavens, lies the Asura Palace.
"Hmm? The aura of the Chosen One has suddenly become clearer?" Tang Yin, sitting on the throne, muttered to himself in confusion.
His perception of the chosen one had suddenly become several times clearer.
"Have I reached the threshold?" Tang Yin wondered, then dismissed the idea.
"No, the Chosen One is missing several key supporters, so he shouldn't be able to touch the threshold so quickly. Could it be that his own realm has broken through?" Tang Yin made a grasping motion with his left hand beside him, and a blood-red greatsword appeared in his hand.
Tang Yin stood up, held the sword in both hands with a reverse grip, and pressed the greatsword against himself, like a knight, and slowly closed his eyes.
A faint red energy surged throughout the hall, connecting to Tang Yin's body.
"Since the brief perception is clear, let me deduce how to make up for the missing assistance."
A series of blurry images flashed through Tang Yin's mind; these were the results of his calculations using the Asura Sword as the chosen one of destiny.
One of the images suddenly became clear, showing a graceful figure radiating a vibrant life force leaping onto the scene.
