Chapter 180: Hello? Are you there?

Under the sunlight, an exclamation mark lit up above Shi Bao’s head.

The youth knelt on the ground: "I thank the divine for their grace. This unique marvel provides a home for the homeless spirits and allows more citizens to learn knowledge and experience from them."

A new marvel was built in Salt City, quickly attracting scattered spirits.

They gathered in small groups and entered the high tower.Explore new novels on novelbin(.)com

As long as they were in the tower, the spirits wouldn’t sink into the sea of limbo and could preserve their selves for a long time.

Lu Yao estimated that there were over fifty spirits residing in the 【Spirit Lighthouse】 of Salt City. Inside the lighthouse, the spirits’ bodies became less ethereal, and their appearances much clearer. Yet, even so, ordinary people still couldn’t see them.

Unlike humans, spirits didn’t have much need for physical space, but they had their preferences.

Some liked jars, choosing a pottery vessel as their dwelling.

Some loved books, with a single volume serving as their manor.

Some were fishermen in life, never forgetting their passion for fishing, preferring to attach themselves to fishing rods.

Some were vain, making their home in exquisite robes hanging on racks.

A variety of items were moved into the lighthouse.

It looked like a giant second-hand store, displaying an array of goods.

But in reality, these were the dwellings of the spirits.

Lu Yao focused his view on Shi Bao’s head.

The young seer entered the high tower, ascending the spiral staircase to the top, where there was a pile of stones arranged as an unlit bonfire.

Facing the stone bonfire, a dialogue box appeared above Shi Bao’s head.

"Respected spirits of Sanilo, I am Shi Bao, the seer of Salt City."

"Can you hear my voice?"

Suddenly, green ghostly flames rose from the bonfire.

Several dialogue boxes popped up.

"We hear you, what’s up?"

"Eh? A seer? Your voice sounds like a kid. Are you really a seer?"

"Hello? Are you there?"

"We can hear, we can hear. Can you hear us?"

"Make way, make way. Hello, Seer Shi Bao, I am Chapman, the mayor of Sanilo. I’ve heard you loud and clear. The Spirit Lighthouse is very useful, and we welcome spirits from your side to visit and play here."

An exclamation mark lit up above Shi Bao’s head, which then turned into a smiley face.

As a secular city, Salt City was the first to bring spirit citizens under its jurisdiction.

Thanks to the existence of the 【Spirit Lighthouse】, Salt City maintained close contact with 【Sanilo】. Sanilo had rich experience in managing spirit citizens, and Salt City learned a lot from it.

After a brief period of unease, the people of Salt City quickly accepted the presence of spirits.

After all, they couldn’t see them most of the time.

But that wasn’t the main reason.

Several bold pixel people grasped 【Spirit Communication】, gaining knowledge and tasks from the spirits and making a fortune. Among them, two scholars gained both fame and fortune, reaping the first wave of benefits.

The people of Salt City were always pragmatic.

The prospect of profit spurred them into immediate action! People often entered the lighthouse on open days, trying to make spirit friends. Even if they couldn’t see them, it was good to familiarize themselves and see if they had the luck to communicate with spirits.

Wandering spirits from outside gradually came here, further enlarging the scale of the city’s spirits and bringing more opportunities and external information to the entire city.

The popularity of the 【Museum of the Old Days】 was quickly overshadowed by the 【Spirit Lighthouse】, as the latter brought more tangible benefits.

From Lu Yao’s godlike perspective, the establishment of the lighthouse marvel brought an important opportunity to the city.

Connection.

Salt City and the distant Sanilo were linked as one.

Simply put, Salt City had built a special network of spirit radios. As long as there were spirit broadcasters, message transmission became instantaneous, crucial for both trade and communication.

Lu Yao turned his attention to Yao City.

Would Yao City join the spirit radio network?

Soon after, a 【Spirit Lighthouse】 was also built in the eastern Yao City.

The seer Yao Shao remained as steady and rational as ever.

Thus, the three cities were further connected and shared resources through the power of spirits.

The source behind this significant change was the young seer, Shi Bao, who had recently emerged.

Lu Yao confirmed that the three cities continued to progress steadily, then shifted his gaze to the overseas island.

The overall environment was relatively stable, and it was now the right time to break through the first layer of the abyss.

Lu Yao was very interested in Curse Insects.

He didn’t know how strong they were, but it was said they could withstand miraculous damage well.

Lu Yao pinched his fingers.

Let’s see how well they resist a faith bombardment of 110,000 magnitude.
