Ta Tian Qing
Chapter 38 Soul Mine, Lin Chen's Wild Ambition
Nearly a whole day had passed since the Blue Star's cataclysm and the monster invasion.
At this moment, inside the city lord's mansion hall in Tianyue City, Lin Chen sat in the main seat.
Then, Kong Yan, Kong Lin, Liu Mengyao, Liu Quan, Bai Shuyi, and Zhang Chunlin sat separately.
Everyone was listening to Liu Quan's account.
"The little island country to the east was almost completely wiped out overnight... Of course, some people who inherited game abilities are still alive, but the entire territory of the little island country has indeed fallen."
"As for the Pretty Empire, they are said to be still resisting, but I believe they won't be much better off than us, because all the missiles, including heavy weapons, have failed. Bullets alone can't penetrate the skins of these monsters."
"The countries to the west have all fallen!"
"The Bear Country to the north is also resisting, but the Blue Star's cataclysm pushed them further north, the weather is extremely harsh, and countless have died. They probably won't last past today either."
The above was the news about the entire Blue Star that Liu Quan brought.
"It seems that Blue Star has completely fallen."
Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "The Jin Qiang (Golden Spear) we encountered earlier claimed to be the provincial lord of Zhenhai Province in the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. Everyone saw his strength, a Second-Turn Peak. His soldiers are all above Level 150. This is just one Jin Qiang and his soldiers. How many Jin Qiangs and people are there in the entire Dragon Spirit Kingdom?"
"That's right!"
Bai Shuyi agreed very much, saying, "What's more, the current Blue Star seems to be much larger than before, right?"
"You can understand it this way: the current territory of the Dragon Kingdom is at least hundreds of millions of square kilometers. Jin Qiang said that the Dragon Spirit Kingdom occupies the eight southeastern provinces of the former Dragon Kingdom. These territories combined are terrifyingly large! Almost larger than the entire land area of Blue Star before."
Liu Quan shook his head and sighed, "This shows how many outsiders there will be."
"Then we can't just let them slaughter us all the time!"
Bai Shuyi said angrily, "From the beginning to now, do you know how miserable the people I've seen have been? And although that Jin Qiang said he would accept us, he kept calling us Blue Star people, and his tone was full of contempt."
"So, I suggest that we should organize all our compatriots."
Liu Quan said in a deep voice, "Now, we have this city, and Lin Chen also has the ability. Most importantly, Lin Chen can get the Jin Qiang's approval. Moreover, this city belongs to Lin Chen, so we will respect Lin Chen as the city lord in the future. Then, we will formulate new rules and strive to unite all those who can be united to survive together."
Worthy of being an old general.
His words, including his vision, were the furthest-reaching.
Naturally, no one would object to Liu Quan's proposal.
Besides, Lin Chen's strength was also obvious.
At this time, Kong Yan suddenly spoke, "Our Bright Saint Maiden Clan will not continue to stay in Tianyue City, so... I hope the Divine Mind User can leave with us to a new territory."
"No, why should Yao Yao go with you!" Bai Shuyi became anxious as soon as she heard this.
However, Kong Yan insisted, "The Divine Mind User must go with us, because we have a cultivation method that is more suitable for her. A Divine Mind User appears once every thousand years, just like your city lord is a Sky Walker. These are both rare professions. If you let the Divine Mind User stay with you, I won't be at ease!"
Bai Shuyi wanted to say something, but Lin Chen raised his hand to stop her.
Lin Chen asked Kong Yan gently, "Senior Kong, why do you say that my and the Divine Mind User's professions are rare? She is a Valkyrie, shouldn't her profession also be rare?"
"The Valkyrie profession is indeed rare, but it is not as scarce as appearing only once every thousand years. A Divine Mind User appears once every thousand years, and a Sky Walker appears once every ten thousand years. Can you compare them?"
Seeing that Lin Chen asked, Kong Yan didn't hide anything and told Lin Chen everything, "Don't think that Jin Qiang only favors you because of this Tianyue City. In reality, for them, a city lord's identity can be taken away at any time. There's nothing to be proud of. Jin Qiang favors you because you are a Sky Walker, the one and only Sky Walker!"
Lin Chen was stunned.
When he obtained the profession certificate, he didn't see any mention of being unique in the description of the Sky Walker!
But in Kong Yan's words, the Sky Walker seemed to be very, very powerful!
Appearing once every ten thousand years.
So, this is the reason why Lin Chen can gain Jin Qiang's approval?
But before Lin Chen could be happy, Kong Yan spoke again, "Although you are a Sky Walker and very powerful, don't think that you will have a smooth journey in the future. The more powerful the profession, the more targeted it will be. In addition, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom's acceptance of you also has value. The future of Blue Star will not be peaceful. These countries will definitely conquer each other... The Divine Mind User needs a stable cultivation environment, and now, only we can give it to her!"
It could be seen that Kong Yan was indeed considering Liu Mengyao's best interests.
However, Lin Chen was also somewhat unwilling to let them take Liu Mengyao away.
Just at this time, Dragon General requested an audience.
"Come in."
Lin Chen let Long Jiang (Dragon General), the head of the Tianyue Knights, come in and asked, "What is it?"
"Reporting to the city lord, this general was ordered to lead the knights on patrol around the area and discovered a mountain range with a mine to the west, and another soul mountain range to the northwest."
Dragon General told Lin Chen two good news.
A mine!
And, a soul mountain range.
Lin Chen was still a little puzzled.
But Kong Yan couldn't help but stand up and said, "Beneath the soul mountain range, there must be a spiritual vein that can produce soul crystals. The mine can produce gold coins. According to convention, whoever discovers and occupies these two mountain ranges first owns them. City Lord Lin, can you spare a mountain from the soul mountain range for our Bright Saint Maiden Clan as territory? That way, the Divine Mind User can stay with us, and it will be close to your Tianyue City. What do you think?"
The soul mountain range has a spiritual vein underneath that can produce soul crystals?
In addition, the mine is a gold mine!
Lin Chen was overjoyed.
This really has a mine!
As for Kong Yan's proposal, Lin Chen hesitated, but soon Lin Chen made a decision... The strongest person in Tianyue City now is still Lin Chen himself.
However, facing those First-Turn and Second-Turn monsters, Lin Chen's strength was not enough.
Lin Chen originally wanted to keep the Saint Maiden Clan here.
At least, for the time being, he could let the Saint Maiden Clan serve as a protective umbrella for Tianyue City.
Now that Kong Yan wanted a mountain on the mountain range as territory, it wasn't impossible.
However, the conditions had to be negotiated properly.
"Let's go, we'll go to the mountain range to take a look!"
Lin Chen got up directly.
A group of people left Tianyue City, killing any monsters they encountered along the way.
When Lin Chen arrived at the mine mountain range, he was stunned!
You call this a mountain range?
Even if Lin Chen flew into the sky, he would feel that it was boundless at a glance.
It should be said that this was a group of mountain ranges.
"Long Jiang, are you sure that there are gold mines in this entire mountain range group?" Lin Chen asked.
"Yes, city lord!"
After receiving Long Jiang's response, Lin Chen had a bottom line in his heart about the soul mountain range.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the soul mountain range, they found that it was an extremely huge mountain range group again. Lin Chen patted Zhang Chunlin on the shoulder and said, "Do you still know how to mine?"
"What are you talking about..."
Zhang Chunlin was very sensible. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and started working.
He dug and dug.
He really dug out a soul crystal.
Although it was only of ordinary quality.
"Senior Kong."
Lin Chen looked at Kong Yan and said, "We can give you a mountain as territory, but the Bright Saint Maiden Clan must form an alliance with Tianyue City in a relationship of offense and defense. Furthermore, if Tianyue City has outstanding disciples in the future, they can also be allowed to enter the Bright Saint Maiden Clan to receive training. In return, the Bright Saint Maiden Clan can also use our Tianyue City's trial tower. Then, the Divine Mind User will follow you to cultivate. What do you think?"
Lin Chen began to negotiate the conditions.
In fact, cooperation or anything else was not important.
The key was this alliance of offense and defense.
"If City Lord Lin can give up one more mountain, we can agree to you." Kong Yan was obviously good at business.
"Okay!"
Lin Chen agreed without hesitation.
After all, the Bright Saint Maiden Clan was not greedy.
The entire soul mountain range group actually had nine longitudinal mountain ranges in total.
However, it seemed that in the eyes of Long Jiang and Kong Yan, this was just one mountain range.
To be honest, Lin Chen originally planned to give the Bright Saint Maiden Clan a mountain range directly.
Let them mine it as they pleased.
As long as the Bright Saint Maiden Clan could become his future staunch allies.
As a result, they only wanted two mountain peaks.
Then Lin Chen directly gave them two large mountain peaks. After all, this was the current protective umbrella of Tianyue City.
There were mines.
Inside Tianyue City, there was also a trial tower.
Outside the city, there were also some very good monster areas.
The east of the city was a Level 1-30 monster area. In addition, in the west, south, and north directions of the city, there were also monster areas ranging from Level 40-100.
Further away, in Longhai City and Mordu (Magic Capital), there were still many monsters living there.
There were even many Bosses.
Now, Tianyue City also had gold mines and soul crystal veins.
In other words, the opportunities for development were all there.
Because Lin Chen's warehouse had a large number of equipment, elixirs, and auxiliary occupation material resources.
Of course.
Lin Chen would not hand over these resources for nothing.
He was a philanthropist.
How could he give them away for free?
There were mines, but people were needed to mine them!
And now, the one thing Tianyue City didn't lack was people.
Lin Chen immediately ordered the three major legions to station themselves in the gold mine mountain range and the soul crystal vein respectively, choose campsites, and then let Zhang Chunlin start arranging manpower to come and mine.
Lin Chen only collected 10% of the ore mined by each person for the city lord's mansion.
The rest would all be given to them themselves.
Only taking 10% was already very low.
Lin Chen would then use various game resources to exchange for the ore in everyone's hands.
Even equipment and skill books could be used for exchange.
Alien invasion, Blue Star disaster...
However, Lin Chen was going to lead the Blue Star people from scratch and rise up in the midst of the disaster!
