Chapter 464: Chapter 342 Grand Opening Celebration at Blazing Fire Mall~!_3

Sparkfire Oasis, home to an estimated eighty to ninety thousand people, isn’t small in population. The city walls need to start construction sooner rather than later, or even the strong will have difficulty fending off all the Mysterious Evil.

"Because this wall has higher specifications and needs to incorporate ritual arrays, it is estimated...it is estimated that it will take two and a half months to complete,"

the apparition said.

Fang You shifted his gaze to Oasis No. 2, where construction was also underway, including a smaller-scale wall being erected.

In his plan, Oasis No. 2 scarcely housed any regular inhabitants, so safety wasn’t a major concern.

Since the oasis was small, and the town even smaller, the wall was much shorter in length.

In just one month, Oasis No. 2 was nearly complete, a much shorter construction period compared to Oasis No. 1.

...

Hum~Hum~Hum~

Space rippled in waves, and Fang You, with some effort, emerged and stepped onto the ground of Oasis No. 2.

The area wasn’t large, with less than half of the land utilized, yet the costs were significant. The roads were wide and straight, flanked by grand shop buildings, which had some ritual arrays and used remarkable materials. At night, the whole town was bathed in a faint glow, as if the tops of the buildings were embedded with pearls.

Fang You looked around and was quite pleased.

He couldn’t be displeased, as this was the limit, considering the rush and lack of advanced ritual arrays. He had to innovate, such as transplanting a section of Yiduola’s Tree of Life’s roots to bring the scent of life to this place.

Wait!

"Since it’s a commercial oasis, naturally, victory must come through goods," he said.

"There is an advantage: the entire Falling Star Pit has only one large marketplace. The competitive pressure is far less than in the Shattered Sea."

"Furthermore, Oasis No. 2 is situated on the edge of the Falling Star Pit, not far from the passage to deeper layers; this is...half advantage, half disadvantage, I suppose."

After running through all matters in his mind and confirming there were no issues, Fang You took out a special legendary Strange Implement—the Rumor Recorder from Sangqila.

An Implement drawn in the same batch as Qianqiu’s.

It had the ability to spread rumors...ahem, to transmit a certain message silently and widely, the specific effect varying with the user.

As Instructor Fang got hands-on, naturally the effect was maximized.

He poured in life energy, started compiling information, and wrote in a highly stylized and enigmatic manner, which was favored by the strong for its half-concealed, half-revealed nature.

Of course, translated into plain language, it would be:

——Blazing Fire Mall grand opening, huge discounts available now, dear customers~!

He pressed the button; the message, like a spirit with wings, spread rapidly.

...

...

City of Fallen Stars, the capital.

The great Baylor, wearing his crown, was handling affairs that required his ancestral oversight.

"How is it that our City of Fallen Stars is lacking so much in mid- to high-tier materials, even first-tier materials are scarce, what’s going on?!"

"Your Ancestor, you may not be aware..."

Starler XIII stood by, looking aggrieved like a child well over a hundred years old, explaining, "Most of the resource mines around our City of Fallen Stars have been exhausted. The productivity of the various oases is rich, but the types of materials produced are very limited. Now, we have a scarcity of certain materials, while others are stockpiled in the warehouses in abundance."

One particular white-tier material was being produced far less than needed for daily consumption.

Starler XIII rambled on, concluding,

"We tried trading with other super oases, but the distances are too great, and we lack safe route maps. Currently, the only stable trade we have is with Baylor from the adjacent Great Domain of the Pale Cemetery, but those folks keep to themselves very much."

It wasn’t that he wasn’t trying.

It was the environment’s fault!

After a period of seclusion and a certain detachment from worldly affairs, Baylor pondered for a moment and gave a faint "Oh."

He found he had nothing to say and chose to remain silent.

Could it be that he should personally make a trip to the Pale Cemetery? Such tasks were bothersome, and he didn’t much like them, considering that most likely, they’d yield no results.

It wasn’t as if it was the Water of Origin he yearned for.

No sooner had he thought this than a guard brought him news.

"Your Ancestor, the one you had us search for, we have a clue!"
