1085 A Change In Plans
"This is the inner layer," I said before adding, "and it grew up to be a grand world, even bigger than the world surrounding the pocket space."
"..."
Everyone gave me a look as if they were looking at a monster. I laughed wryly before adding, "this is a good thing. I spent the past month exploring, and there are lots of continents filled with rich resources."
"Resources you say? Are there any gems?" the eyes of Angelica sparkled. This girl… Even if she was traumatised from this world, she wouldn't change her nature.
And I simply nodded. "There are visible veins of crystals and gems, many races and precious materials here to exploit."
"Give it to me, I want to explore and take out everything from this world!"
"Hahahaha! Nice try," I laughed before turning to the five leaders from the research department, "you'll be stationed here on this continent. This sea… Its water holds magical effects. It can increase the space of anything and has magical healing powers. Try to get benefits from it."
"Sure, lord," the five looked at each other before they expressed their excitement with a nod.
"But…" Lily was aware that I planned to grant this world solely to the research department. Just like I thought, my initial plan wasn't feasible now.
Giving such an enriched world with resources and space to one department? That was indeed a great waste of resources and opportunities lying here.
"I know," I said to cut her path of long words to convince me, "I'm going to hand over this place to you two as well. The people who aren't suited to fight can all move here and build towns and cities, mate together and bring us more formidable talents…"
I paused before pointing to a spot, "I'll turn this into a teleportation zone. I only discovered ten big continents, and this world isn't even one fifth explored. I'll leave behind many portals to connect this continent with others. Also I need one to keep exploring and also handle the portals establishment."
"I'll do it, I'll do it… Leave it to me…" Angelica seemed to grow fond of this place. Looking at her genuine experience and wide smile, I couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
It needed love to really wipe out immense trauma.
"Cool," I nodded, "I'll give you money. You can buy a staff from the market. Use it to store bookmarks and be able to jump over places easily," I said while transferring a couple tens of million coins over for her to use.
After all, moving and exploring this world was going to be a really long and hard task to handle.
"Also there are the teleportation gates I'm using, you can also purchase them from the market."
I started giving her more information about the twic disc devices and the staff before finally taking her on a tour and showed her how to use these.
She hurriedly bought the staff and the twin discs, listened attentively to my discussion and explanation before finally returning back to the first continent.
"This place… It's magical!" We were the only two remaining here at the moment. Before I took her on such a trip, I already installed a grand number of portals to link this world over to the upper layer.
This was going to be a bustling world with many activities soon. Many people would come here to train, help deliver resources, or even go back to train outside or unlock their cultivation.
Expecting all this, my excitement also skyrocketed.
"How did you do it?!!" looking at me with sparkling eyes, Angelica couldn't help but ask. And I shrugged in response.
""Frankly, I don't know," I gave an honest answer, "but this is our place and it's great."
"I know," she laughed. During this journey that didn't take more than two hours, she kept chuckling and grinning from her excitement.
She asked me to stop at a few spots where she examined the exposed veins of rare ores.
Some were just like the ones she discovered before at the grand mine continent. Yet there were still many unknown ores here as well.
Neglecting any explanation for this phenomenon, we both were delighted and excited. She didn't need me to speak about the importance of this world.
Any world held its value by its size and the richness in its resources.
And this one was filled with endless potential.
"I'll go back and bring my men here," she suddenly paused before asking, "how about the newly arrived races? Can't you move them all here?"
I got what she wanted to do. She wanted to get her hands over huge manpower at once.
"I'll do that," I paused, "but I'll limit their entrance to the outer layer. It will be a filtering layer to organise things. Those who can't fight will come here. But don't take them all just to mine! We need to build towns and cities, we need them to mate together and reproduce."
"Don't worry, my head isn't just focused on those priceless and amazing gems," even when she said it, I never believed her.
"Don't mess things up, or else I'll find replacements for your task."
"Don't joke around, no one is capable of doing things like me!"
"You are mistaken! Many talents we found have such abilities like you or even better."
"..." she blinked twice in doubt and when I told her to go and ask Lily about it if she didn't believe me, she showed a look of horror.
"Ok, ok, I'll follow your orders to the letter. Just… Don't replace me, please? We are good friends after all!"
She jumped over and held my arm and all she got was a look of warning from me.
Girl, if you really appreciate your life then stop trying to get close to me, or else…
As I finished things with her, I let her go back to sort out things while I started jumping again.
