Chapter 463: Chapter 342 Grand Opening Celebration at Blazing Fire Mall~!_2

The start had been quite good.

And then there was no "then."

The functioning of a power not only requires strong individuals to safeguard it, but also savvy strategists! And who would agree to work purely for a promise, without a set wage? Even though that promise glows brilliantly in Qianqiu’s eyes, it might not seem so bright to the other workers.

Moreover, the superhuman rank experts he had painstakingly gathered were originally assassins and mercenaries.

Lacking integrity, they prioritized self-interest above all.

As a result, most of them fled within three days, and among the dozen or so left, Fang You estimated that they would continue to slip away in a few days.

"After all, Qianqiu entered the Assassin Training Camp at the age of four, where he thereafter learned nothing but the arts of killing. Maintaining a relatively normal worldview is already quite difficult for him; his management capabilities are essentially negative, and his way of thinking deviates from the ordinary."

"Relying solely on Qianqiu, it is impossible to establish a commerce guild."

"Not to mention..."

The Hidden Assassination Pavilion had already begun searching for their whereabouts, and Qianqiu was currently torn between internal strife and external threats, utterly overwhelmed.

Fang You could only advise him to stay hidden for the time being and had Xiao Huan craft an artificial intelligence with a wealth of professional data, which finally managed to stabilize the situation a bit.

"Right, send Qianqiu some textbooks on common knowledge beneficial to spiritual and physical health. The guy needs to catch up on his education."

"Okay~"

Xiao Huan immediately found hundreds of books that met her master’s requirements and pinged them over to Qianqiu.

She didn’t think a few hundred books were many.

She herself could finish reading and fully absorb them all in less than an hour. Qianqiu was somewhat of a myth too, so his reading speed shouldn’t be much slower than hers, right?

Yes, she should gather more books that fit the criteria and send a few thousand over all at once.

All set~!

Fang You had no idea that Xiao Huan had ’correctly understood’ his intentions, but he too was pondering the matter of cultural studies.

He believed that cultural and ethical education was still of the utmost importance: a powerful individual must also possess a solid cultural foundation to understand tactics and lead troops.

More importantly, a powerful individual must have a moral temperament matching their strength to avoid becoming a slave to their power.

The cultural education of the Blue Star people is up to par. Although a martial arts department has been established, the liberal arts are still emphasized, and they continue to be taught even after entering the training camp, along with various subjects from the mystery schools and ethical education.

The curriculum might be heavy, with lots of reading to do alongside training.

But as Awakeners’ spirit abilities and, with them, their memory and logical reasoning capabilities increase, Instructor Fang doesn’t see it as a problem.

The problem lies with the strong individuals who do not come from Blue Star.

"Qianqiu and his three friends need to undergo re-education. Citina had a home tutor as a child, but she primarily learned noble etiquette, with little to no math, science, or literary culture."

"As the Flamefire officially steps into the Ghastly Realm, there will be more and more people like them. So..."

"It’s time to found an ethical cultivation academy, one specifically designed for strong individuals to revise and improve."

"Xiao Huan, put this down in the memo, marked as a second-level priority."

And then there was no "then."

There’s no need to establish the academy right now; after all, Citina is the only student so far, and it’s still uncertain where Qianqiu’s Shattered Sea is located or if the adjacent Great Domains have a Falling Star Pit. The specifics are still unclear.

He assigned Qianqiu the task of mapping out the surrounding area first, advising him to take his time with the commerce guild objectives.

While Fang You can’t reach far enough to aid Qianqiu in these tasks, asking him to continue scouting the map, Fang You’s attention shifted to the construction of Oasis No.1 Sparkfire and the unnamed Oasis No.2.

"The development of Oasis No.1 is already on the right track. After a while, once a few more groups of residents, perhaps around eighty or ninety thousand, have arrived, we can pause."

Since it is only a second-level Oasis with limited space, it would require constructing many high-rise buildings to accommodate eighty to ninety thousand people, assuming each person gets to have a few dozen square meters.

At this point, with the help of construction automatons and the means of the mystery schools, the residential area construction was almost complete.

Fang You then installed two "Gravity Fields" and a "Lotus Pool," planted a "Land of Inheritance" that had been moved over, and an abundance of advanced training equipment salvaged from a level 5 training ground, ensuring that the Flamefire personnel stationed in the Oasis had sufficient training facilities.

Training facilities were indispensable!

He also condensed more than twenty "Sprout Tower" seeds for construction, sowing them around the periphery of the Oasis to ensure a robust defense in case of emergencies.

Then there was the construction of the Oasis’s giant wall.

Sword Flower City, Scorched Flame Oasis, Starlight Fortress—these grand fortifications all had walls tens or even hundreds of meters high. Was it just for show? Of course not.

It was to guard against the Mysterious Evil!

While such walls could not prevent powerful individuals or determined spies from infiltrating, they were particularly effective in deterring Mysterious Evil.

"If it were just a matter of stopping the occasional Mysterious Evil from entering the Oasis, there would be no need to build such a massive wall, since the cost is tremendous. But the very reason the Great Oasis, and even smaller Oasis like Streetlamp Town, has built walls or earth banks, is because they’re useful, incredibly useful!"

"Mysterious Evil can’t spawn within an Oasis, but as the population grows, an Oasis might face an attack by an Evil Tide."

"This is a type of natural disaster."

Just like the waves of Mysterious Evil battering the fortress cities.

Such assaults are especially common in the Great Oasis, occurring periodically. Smaller oases are less likely to face such floods, but when they do, it’s a catastrophic event that could cause extensive damage or even the ruin of the Oasis.
