Maintaining social order and curbing the encroachment of the strange world requires the strength of the entire Blue Star.
Fang You had many plans that needed the cooperation of various countries and their mysterious departments to implement, but he kept them to himself.
This was because countries like Sunset Nation, Wave Nation, and White Bear Nation were more anxious and would always seek him out.
He was in a position to wait and see.
What he was contemplating now were the specifics of the cooperation.
In this regard, he could reference the cooperation with the Investigation Bureau. The model was quite mature and would be incredibly tempting to these mysterious departments.
"Firstly, the sale of potions and equipment. This is the most direct bait, something that the mysterious departments of various countries cannot refuse."
Moreover, compared to the initial transactions with the Investigation Bureau, the products of Xin Huo had at least increased more than tenfold in variety.
He was not yet ready to release the higher-end items, starting with the basic models.
Perhaps this could also create a little competitive pressure among the various countries?
"Further cooperation includes the strange evil radar and trainee training, especially trainee training and awakening ceremonies..."
The attraction was immense. One could imagine how much the Investigation Bureau had spent on these.
This was not only bait to attract powerful individuals from various countries but also a way to showcase Xin Huo's strength and foundation, and to warn any powers with ulterior motives.
It could also earn resources from various countries and rapidly improve the level of awakened individuals across the Blue Star.
This was a win-win-win-win situation.
However, another problem arose: "The current No. 1 training base is located in the heartland of Donghuang Nation. It's not very suitable for exchange trainees from Sunset, Wave, and other countries to train and learn here."
"Furthermore, the scale of this training base is somewhat insufficient."
Even though the base was constantly expanding, the speed of expansion could not keep up with the recruitment speed of new members.
Currently, there were over a thousand exchange trainees from the official channels of Huang Nation, and Xin Huo's own newbies numbered even more, at a full two to three thousand.
While the base was not unmanageably crowded, many training programs required sufficient space. The arrangement of various equipment and venues was already somewhat tight, and the expansion of the No. 1 training base was approaching its bottleneck.
After all, the base was located halfway up the mountain, and there was not much room for expansion.
On another note, Little Huan also reported that specialized training equipment was insufficient and queueing had become a problem.
"For instance, the ability testing instruments are not enough. They form a queue every night, with an average waiting time of 13 minutes!"
She said so.
Fang You nodded.
"This indeed wastes a lot of time. 13 minutes is enough to practice several sets of basic sword techniques."
"Can't you set up a few more testing instruments?"
Recently, his energy had been mostly focused on cultists and the Red Moon ritual, or on quickly improving himself. He hadn't really paid attention to the training base matters, nor had he had the time.
However, instruments like the ability testing instrument were not difficult to obtain. A Lv2 training ground came equipped with one. Not enough? Just develop and upgrade a few more training grounds.
Upgrading to Lv2 would only cost 130 strange crystals, which was a trifle for Xin Huo at present.
Little Huan demurred, "It's not that we're short of ability testing instruments, it's that there's no place to put them! Because these testing instruments take up a lot of space, and each training ground in the base can only install one. There's no vacant space left!"
Little Huan: o(╥﹏╥)o
Hmm, it seems that even without foreign exchange trainees, establishing a new training base was imperative.
"Little Huan, select suitable uninhabited islands in the high seas of the Pacific Ocean."
"Okay!"
Little Huan quickly filtered through various islands. There were far too many that met his requirements. After all, he only needed a large enough area, and other conditions were not so important.
Selecting an island that caught his eye from among these, Fang You returned to the secret realm. Using the spatial connection between the secret realm and Blue Star, he focused his mind and channeled the power of the secret realm.
He took a few steps, his figure disappearing into the slightly distorted space.
The next moment,
The sound of crashing waves reached his ears. Before him was the clear blue sea, and the salty sea breeze blew against him, ruffling his hair.
Fang You landed, hovering half a meter above the sea. Seeing a large wave approaching, he extended his hand and unleashed a gentle punch.
Instantly, an invisible force shot out, pushing the waves apart and slightly depressing the sea surface.
It spread for over a hundred meters, and not a single drop of water could splash onto his clothes.
He looked around. In the distance was a somewhat barren island.
The scenery could not be described as bad; it was simply non-existent.
That was the target island.
"The deviation from the destination is over a thousand meters. It seems that the technique of using the secret realm for teleportation still needs more practice."
He opened his strange evil tracking.
In all directions, north, south, east, west, above, and below, foul winds drifted. The gray and blackness in his vision was far greater than in the city.
This was natural. This was, after all, an uninhabited sea area rarely visited by humans.
Even before the advent of the mysterious, few ships passed by such uninhabited islands. As for now? There were absolutely none.
The sea was dangerous, and even more so after the advent of the mysterious.
However, the threat of oceanic strange evils was not as direct as that on land, but their actual numbers far exceeded those on land.
Marine life had suffered greatly, and many species were likely extinct by now.
Controlling his Illusionary Void Steps, Fang You landed on this uninhabited island. The powerful life energy within his body was released, making his presence like a beacon in the dark night, incredibly conspicuous and alluring!
Piercing gibberish echoed. Under the strange evil tracking, grotesque monsters appeared.
Headless Corpses, Serpent Mothers, stitched abominations, man-faced bird monsters, and more!
Just counting the three-star strange evils, there were 21 of them on this small island! Innumerable other strange evils formed a surging tide in an instant. Hundreds, even thousands, of strange evils rushed towards him from all directions, a dense black mass.
Palm Lightning!
Palm Lightning!
Fission Lightning!
Azure light continuously erupted. Not a single strange evil could get within ten meters of him. Whether they were crawling or flying, all were reduced to dust.
In just a few minutes, Fang You had cleared this small wave of strange evils.
Most of the time was spent waiting, waiting for the strange evils to come to him.
After clearing them, he shook his hands and walked in the air, following the foul winds in his vision to eliminate the remaining stragglers one by one.
Thus, the entire island became peaceful.
However...
Fang You glanced at the mission map. Tens of kilometers away, a powerful calamity-level strange evil was lurking.
However, the location marker was in the sea, the deep sea.
He frowned.
Looking at the sea surface in his strange evil tracking vision, stained with a faint grayish-black, like ink, he hesitated and then gave up.
Hunting a calamity-level strange evil deep underwater was too damn disgusting.
He would mark it for later and wait for it to come ashore, or leave it to An Jianyou to deal with.
He made a gesture.
"Ding!"
"Notification: Strange Crystals - 50, Secret Realm Passage 05 is being opened."
"Notification: Secret Realm Passage 05 has been opened."
Before him, an ancient, silver-white gate materialized, embedded in the rock face as if it had always been there.
Fang You nodded.
The location of the entrance could be changed later after the base was constructed. This was not important; the priority was to expedite the construction of the base.
"Little Huan, issue guard and construction missions for the Pacific island."
"Roger that!"
He then used his authority as the owner of the secret realm to link the access passage of the No. 1 training base with the access passage of the Pacific base, and made it accessible to ordinary people.
Of course, this was limited to the area around the passage, and the sides of the passage were completely sealed off.
It was to be used solely as a teleportation passage.
It had to be this way. Currently, there wasn't even an airstrip on this island. Without a teleportation passage, relying solely on conventional transport, who knew when the base would be built.
Time was life; not a moment could be delayed.
With money, people, and powerful awakened individuals, it would not take too long to establish this island base.
However,
This could only create a basic base. The true Xin Huo training base not only needed to possess a certain degree of defense and concealment capabilities but also required special buildings like gravity fields and lotus ponds.
He had none of these now, only a blank inheritance site. Da Feng Novel Network.
But it was not a big problem.
Because,
"Destiny Points: 14886"
He possessed over fourteen thousand Destiny Points! He had never been this wealthy!
He could even do 14 ten-pulls on the advanced card pool!
As for the beginner card pool? Fang You wasn't planning on drawing from it much. If he drew only from the beginner card pool, he would be exhausted before he could use up these more than ten thousand Destiny Points.
The troubles of the rich!
This was also the source of his confidence. Drawing from the card pool already made it easy to obtain items one already possessed. With a massive amount of Destiny Points now, could it be possible not to draw the strange artifacts and buildings he desired?
Ahem, no jinxing!
He steadied himself and began the advanced ten-pulls!
"Ding!"
"Acquired: Angel's Tear"
...
"Acquired: Advanced Skill Seed"
...
"Acquired: Skill Training Card (Gold)"
...
White light, green light, blue light, and purple light erupted in succession.
Occasionally, golden light would also appear.
Golden light was no longer a rare sight. The drop rate of the advanced card pool was significantly worse than the previous Destiny Card Pool, but on average, one golden legendary item could be obtained every two ten-pulls.
It was a pity that most of the time, it was a legendary skill training card.
Fang You's mentality was still good. Earning Destiny Points was becoming easier and easier. If he couldn't draw a treasure today, he could draw it tomorrow.
His small goals were only the gravity field and the lotus pond.
Since these two special buildings had already been drawn, he became even more casual, alternating between advanced ten-pulls and intermediate ten-pulls.
Watching the blue light, purple light, and golden light erupt continuously, Fang You's mood was very calm, without a ripple. His mind even drifted to the planning and construction of the Pacific base.
Only before him, the drawing animation on the game interface kept repeating, and the Destiny Points in the upper right corner were steadily decreasing.
He didn't even pay much attention to what he was drawing, he could tally it up later.
Fang You pressed his will.
The last advanced ten-pull began to draw. Treasures flew out of the card pool one by one, their brilliant light streaking across the sky.
However, one of the lights was somewhat special, somewhat dazzling.
He caught a fleeting glimpse and froze.
"Red, red light?!"
