Chapter 1069 Teaching Apprentices
Holding a large file from Xu Luo, Gu Mingzhi and Ming Luo left directly.
At this time, Xu Luo was still carefully looking at the data on the virtual screen in front of him, with a flickering expression in his eyes.
Among them, the taxation item directly reached 1.2 trillion stars last month, which is actually extremely astonishing.
After all, this is only one month's tax, but Xu Luo also knows that the reason for this is that at this time, a large number of houses are directly sold, so that it will be raised all of a sudden, and by next month , it will naturally drop directly and return to the normal level.
But this is just taxation. At this time, there are many industries above Hope Star that belong to the city hall. These leading enterprises are the places that bring them huge profits.
It is precisely because of these leading companies that continue to attract money for him, that Xu Luo has enough confidence to say that he will expand all fifty cities and build other cities at the same time.
One term as an official will benefit one party!
Regardless of the reason why I came to the Hope Star before, as the consul of the Hope Star at this moment, Xu Luo will always leave something in his jurisdiction.
And it is obvious that doing a lot of economic construction and improving the environment of the entire Hope Star is what Xu Luo wants to leave behind.
After all, when he reached Xu Luo's height, in fact, he didn't care about power for a long time.
As for strength, others can't help him at all. He basically has to fight for everything by himself, so at this time, for him, what he values more is the process of building Hope Star.
After I have completed the construction of all the territory, I will be able to complete the grand blueprint in my heart. For Xu Luo, it actually has a very high sense of accomplishment.
Attracting a large number of outsiders to settle on Hope Star will increase the prosperity of the entire planet. At the same time, a large number of cultivators will be attracted by him, and then they will have to pay a certain price if they want to use the practice room. It may have been provided with source stones.
If you want to increase more training time, you can only enter the light area to hunt and kill the creatures in the nether world, and if you do this, your own loss will be greatly increased at that time.
At the same time, I will also help Xu Luo to protect the entire bright area, so I don't have to worry about encountering the essence of ghost creatures.
At the same time, once these people fight, they will naturally need supplies.
In this way, the extraordinary plants and medicinal materials that Xu Luo is planting at this time can also be dumped at that time, which can greatly increase his income.
At the beginning, Xu Luo wanted to control the pricing power of meritorious deeds, but because there were not as many people as he imagined in the entire Guangming area, under such circumstances, even if he had the pricing power, he did not have too much power. In the case of large influence, it is meaningless at all.
But at this time, with more and more people pouring into the bright area, the amount of meritorious service distributed every day is far more than what I imagined. , also began to increase gradually.
In the beginning, the way these people traded meritorious deeds was actually very simple, that is, to trade part of the meritorious deeds, and then they helped others to start a certain period of practice in the practice room, and then others entered it to practice, the transaction between the two sides It can be regarded as achieved.
It's just that there are still a lot of inconveniences after all. In the following time, when Xu Luo directly opened up the mutual merits to be traded, it suddenly made them more and more comfortable when they traded with each other. It's getting more and more convenient.
At this time, in the area of light, merit has become a hard currency recognized by everyone. The reason for this is that merit is an important prerequisite for entering the training room for cultivation.
They will never get credit points, or after Xing Yuan bought the energy core, use the energy core to enter the training room to practice.
After some calculations, some people feel that it is not cost-effective to do so, so it is more to get merits, and then directly use the merits to talk to become the practice time.
And at this time merits have also begun to become more diversified. After all, at this time, some people began to use meritorious deeds to issue tasks in the bright area, and under the circumstances of hiring others to do things for themselves, the value of meritorious deeds naturally increased higher.
At this time, Xu Luo didn't care about these at all, and the meritorious service at this time was not without any reason.
Because meritorious deeds can only be obtained after killing ghost creatures, and once meritorious deeds are converted into training time in the training room at this time, they will directly and naturally decrease at that time, so naturally the amount of meritorious deeds will never be too much .
At this time, Xu Luo was naturally able to pass through the backstage, and he could see the merits paid and the amount of merits received every day.
Merit seems to be a kind of consumable, but after all, it has no cost. The reason why merit can become valuable is because it can be used to buy those energy cores and enter the training room for cultivation. Gives it the right to be traded.
At this time, a large number of people are rich and powerful, directly purchasing energy cores, and purchasing meritorious deeds from others. After they get a lot of meritorious deeds, they can directly start the practice time in the practice room.
One by one, people from high civilizations, at this time, the rich and powerful throw out a lot of money to hire others to do things for them
Xu Luo didn't care about this at all.
Because at this time, those ordinary adventurers, after selling the meritorious service or energy core in their hands, have also obtained a lot of money. At that time, they can use this money to buy other cultivation materials. Being able to improve one's own strength from time to time can be described as a win-win result.
However, during the transaction process between the two parties, at this time Xu Luo, as the monitoring party, naturally cannot allow them to do things there.
When the two parties are conducting transactions, Xu Luo needs to collect transaction tax. Although this tax point is very low, but because the transaction volume itself is very large at this time, the income is still very considerable.
And because when these people conduct transactions, similar to when merits are counted again, they are all carried out in specially-designed accounts, so there is no way to escape at all. Once they will only conduct transactions, they will respond accordingly Taxes will be collected directly.
Although it is said that what is collected is only a tax rate of one ten-thousandth, but because at this time, in the land of light, there are always transactions in progress, which makes the amount collected every day very large. .
At this time, because there are a large number of aliens entering the Hope Star, under such circumstances, many spaceships also transport these kinds of materials into the Hope Star, so the transportation industry is also very developed.
At the beginning, many people were actually very dissatisfied when they entered Hope Star.
It was just because they were intimidated by Xu Luo's power, so at that time, they could only sell Xu Luo's face, so they added their own store business to Hope Star.
But these people are very fortunate at this time, precisely because Xu Luo threatened them back then and brought their industry to Hope Star, but now it has brought them huge benefits.
After all, at this time, if you want to gain a foothold on the Hope Star, if you don't get Xu Luo's approval, you can't do it at all. Under the circumstances, other people have nothing to do if they want to enter the Hope Star, they can only watch them. People make big money.
At this time, Xu Luo was sitting quietly in a tavern in Hope City, waiting for the arrival of his guests.
This small tavern is not big, with tables arranged in twos and threes, it looks very quiet at this time.
And this tavern was opened by Zhang Xinya, so Xu Luo chose the location here.
Ever since Zhang Xinya and Ai Jie broke up, Zhang Xinya didn't have the heart to continue to pay attention to the fitness club they created, so she sold it out, and then she used her savings to open the gym here. A tavern.
Zhang Xinya, who had regained her strength, no longer cared about money at this time.
If she wants to make money, she will naturally have a lot of means at this time.
Not to mention anything else, just enter the bright area, hunt some undead creatures, and sell the energy core and meritorious service at that time, so that you can live a peaceful life for a period of time, and the money you earn You can’t make money even if you open a fitness club for several years.
At this time, Zhang Xinya saw Xu Luo waiting for someone, so she didn't go up to disturb her, but just sat at the bar counter boredly, quietly watching the people entering and leaving the store.
Earlier, someone saw that Zhang Xinya was glamorous, so it wasn't that there were people who cared about her, it was just that Zhang Xinya didn't get used to them when she faced some rough-handed people, and taught them a lesson. , these people finally didn't dare to despise her after being severely taught by Zhang Xinya.
And those people behind, knowing that the proprietress here is not easy to mess with, how dare they continue to make trouble.
Xu Luo and the others didn't have too long to open the door and walked in.
At this time, after seeing a young and beautiful girl approaching, she walked straight towards Xu Luo.
Seeing this scene at this time, Zhang Xinya couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, with a slight smile in the corner of her eyes.
In her opinion, Xu Luo seemed to be enlightened at this time. After all, Xu Luo has been basically not close to women. Although there are not a few beautiful girls around him, Xu Luo has never had any relationship with any of them. close relationship.
Some people even speculated whether there was something wrong with Xu Luo's heart or something. Otherwise, with his current status, logically speaking, he shouldn't behave like this.
Regarding these people's speculations, Xu Luo has always dealt with them calmly, and never thought of defending them.
"Sit by yourself."
Seeing Xiao Ting standing timidly in front of her, Xu Luo said lightly.
"Okay, teacher!"
Hearing Xu Luo's order, Xiao Ting nodded quickly and sat down opposite Xu Luo.
Seeing Xiao Ting sitting down opposite him, Xu Luo poured her a cup of hot water, pushed it in front of her, and then glanced at her without saying anything.
The reason why Xiao Ting came to Hope Star was because at this time, there was a little problem in her cultivation.
So as a novice cultivator, the most powerful person she could come into contact with was Xu Luo, so she went directly to him.
Before, when I heard Xiao Ting say that she had problems in her cultivation, because she was not on the origin star, Xu Luo was not very clear about the specific problems she was facing.
Especially Xiao Ting is not the same as a normal practitioner, so Xu Luo is not sure what is going on with her at this time, so she can only let her come directly.
At this time, Xiao Ting was sitting opposite Xu Luo, holding a cup in her hand, but she didn't drink at all, and her face seemed a little tangled.
At this time, Xu Luo didn't greet her too much at all. At this moment, he directly released his divine sense, and after scanning her, his face couldn't help but look heavy.
"Are you already legendary?"
Looking at Xiao Ting at this moment, Xu Luo frowned slightly.
"I can't help it!"
Hearing Xu Luo's question, Xiao Ting seemed a little aggrieved at this moment.
In fact, she has been trying her best to suppress the speed of development of her own strength, but no matter how much she suppresses, her strength is still advancing by leaps and bounds like riding a rocket.
Although she said that in the silver stage, she performed tempering again and again, and only after reaching the third tempering did she enter the gold level, and then in the gold level, she has been washing the marrow and exchanging blood, consuming a large amount of energy in the **** crystal , but she still couldn't stop her rapid promotion.
Therefore, she didn't stay at the golden peak level for too long, and she was not affected by Xiao Ting's will at all, allowing her to quickly cross that limit and directly reach the level of legend.
And this is actually what makes Xiao Ting very confused.
Because since becoming a practitioner, she actually doesn't know everything.
Therefore, I know that the speed of strength improvement of practitioners is actually far from what I have shown now. Each of them will only improve rapidly after a period of silence.
But now he has reached such a point in just a few years, which made him very panicked.
So after she was naturally propelled by huge energy to enter the legendary level, Xiao Ting suddenly became flustered.
So I directly sent a message to Xu Luo, saying that there was a problem in my cultivation, and I wanted to find a solution.
"There is nothing wrong with your cultivation."
After scanning Xiao Ting at this time, Xu Luo can clearly perceive that the blood in Xiao Ting's body is like lead and mercury, which is actually the performance of the extreme tempering.
This means that Xiao Ting's foundation at this time is extremely solid. Not to mention other aspects, but only in terms of cultivation, her foundation is very solid.
And this is naturally due to the huge energy contained in the **** crystal before.
After all, it is all the essence left by a god. At this time, if it is directly absorbed by a mortal like her, even at the silver-gold level, she consumes it wantonly, but how much of it can be consumed?
Of course, this only refers to Xiao Ting's practice. As a practitioner, in addition to cultivation, the most important thing is her actual combat ability.
If the actual combat ability is not enough, if you can't fully display your cultivation base, then it will be nothing but nothing.
Since Xiao Ting practiced, she has basically never entered a different world and fought with creatures from other worlds. It is natural to imagine her actual combat ability.
At this time, Xu Luo couldn't help frowning.
Before, in order to win over Xiao Ting, he kept her by his side, but his teacher was actually extremely unqualified.
Except for giving Xiao Ting some pointers at the beginning, she basically didn’t ask any questions after that.
So much so that at this time, Xiao Ting is actually a novice in practice, and she has only a half-knowledge of many things.
Even in the world of the gods, in the Novice God's Domain, Xu Luo basically didn't pay much attention to Xiao Ting after handing her over to the umbrella people.
It was when Xiao Ting ignited Shengshen Kingdom and was promoted before, that he paid a little attention.
"Don't panic too much."
At this time, after seeing Xiao Ting's mournful face, Xu Luo frowned slightly, thinking that when this young lady basically didn't experience too much suffering before, she also knew that she was facing such a situation. In a difficult situation, there is basically no good way to deal with it, so I calm down my tone a little.
"There is nothing wrong with your cultivation. The reason for this is that your strength has improved by leaps and bounds because of the fusion of nerve crystals before. This is a normal phenomenon.
It's just that your strength is improving too fast now, and your actual combat ability is not good at all, so I will take you to a place later, and you will stay there in the future, and then enhance your actual combat ability there, which will have a certain effect on your strength improvement Effect! "
Hearing Xu Luo's words, Xiao Ting nodded hurriedly.
Since Xu Luo said that there is no problem with her cultivation, she finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Before, his strength had been improving by leaps and bounds, so that he was very flustered at this moment. Since Xu Luo said that he has no problems now, he can finally relax his mind.
As for Xu Luo taking her to a place to enhance her actual combat ability, Xiao Ting didn't care much about this.
Relatively speaking, she still trusts Xu Luo very much. She feels that if Xu Luo wants to plot against her, with Xu Luo's current status, strength, and status, there is no need to make such moves.
After the official business was over, Xu Luo ran over to say hello to Zhang Xinya, and did not stay here too much.
Originally, I wanted to find a place for myself to relax, but at this time Xiao Ting came to find me. Obviously, my leisure life has been ruined. I need to solve Xiao Ting's problems before I can sneak in.
As for Zhang Xinya, who had been quietly watching the excitement, after seeing the real relationship with the two of them, she knew that it was nothing like what she had imagined at the beginning, and couldn't help feeling a pity in her heart.
After all, she wanted to see what the Xu Luo iron tree looked like when it was in bloom. It was not what she thought it would be.
Xu Luoke doesn't care what Zhang Xinya thinks at this time.
At this time, he took Xiao Ting and left the tavern directly.
While following Xu Luo, Xiao Ting felt very strange at this time.
When I met Xu Luo for the first time, I was just a big star who sneaked out, while Xu Luo was a genius protected by the military at that time. We met in the alley.
After that, there were intersections again and again, but the status and status between the two were already very different.
Xu Luo is getting stronger and stronger, and her status in the human federation is getting higher and higher. On the other hand, her family is in decline after that, so that the proud daughter of heaven has become just an ordinary person.
If Xu Luo hadn't helped her, Xiao Ting couldn't imagine what kind of scene she would have in the future.
It's just that she never expected that after just a few years, she has become a powerful practitioner at this time, and Xu Luo has become the highest consul of a planet high above.
Looking up at the handsome young man walking in front, Xiao Ting couldn't help but sigh.
Compared to his own strength at this time, the development of Xu Luo's strength at this time is even more terrifying.
After all, Xu Luo looked like this many years ago.
But because his strength has improved so much that he made his face permanent long ago, the years can't leave a trace on him at all.
"This is the Heiyuan Passage, after which you will enter a different world through here, and go for training!"
Bringing Xiao Ting to the barracks and applying for a pass for her, Xu Luo pointed to the huge standing portal and explained to her, then led Xiao Ting who was full of doubts directly into the Heiyuan Passage.
The two walked in the passage for a while, and after reaching the end, they suddenly realized.
After walking a certain distance in the dark, he directly entered the bright area.
Entering the bright area at this time, seeing the bustling scene in this area at this time, made Xiao Ting very puzzled.
Although it is said that she has not entered the different world, Xiao Ting is not ignorant of the different world after all.
Especially nowadays, all information is no longer blocked as it used to be.
Many people have reported some situations in the different world, and most people are learning about the relevant situation in the different world through these reports at this time.
There are also some people who have directly entered the different world and experienced it for themselves, and then told their own experience. The scene they saw at this time completely subverted her original cognition.
But at this time, Xu Luo had no intention of explaining to Xiao Ting at all.
Entering the area of light at this time, he directly flew up and headed towards the other side.
At this time, seeing the need to fly directly and quickly, Xiao Ting could only follow closely.
After the two flew in tandem for a while, Xu Luo stopped at the edge of the bright area.
"this is for you."
While speaking, a long sword appeared in Xu Luo's hand, and he threw it to Xiao Ting casually, and then pointed to her, letting her walk into the dark area.
"The next task for you is to kill any creatures that attack you in the dark area. You need to survive in the dark area for half an hour!"
Knowing that Xiao Ting basically has no combat experience, Xu Luo didn't make too many demands on her at this time, but just let her survive in the dark area for half an hour, let her experience the power of the dark area a little bit. in the situation.
After hearing Xu Luo's words, Xiao Ting subconsciously clenched the long sword in her hand as she looked at the deep darkness in front of her.
But after taking a deep breath, she didn't refute, but turned around and walked into the darkness.
Xu Luo originally thought that when Xiao Ting entered the darkness, she would lean on the junction of light and darkness, but to his surprise, after entering the darkness, Xiao Ting did not take the initiative to rely on the junction , but continue to go deep inside.
Walking into the darkness, it didn't take too long, and then Xu Luo clearly sensed the occurrence of the battle.
What Xu Luo never imagined was that Xiao Ting, who he thought had no fighting ability, simply and neatly eliminated the surrounding undead creatures that attacked her.
But seeing this scene, although Xu Luo said he was a little surprised, he didn't take it too seriously.
After all, Xiao Ting is already a legendary powerhouse at this time, and the ones attacking him at this time are only silver and gold-level necromancers.
It was natural for her to solve it, but what surprised Xu Luo was that she didn't expect her to solve it so simply and neatly.
What Xu Luo didn't know was that although Xiao Ting had never entered a different world to experience a real life-and-death fight, but when she was in Novice God's Domain, Xiao Ting relied on her angels in front of her to protect her. In the siege of cities and territories, I have also experienced real battles.
At the same time, in the real world, there is an arena after all, so in order to enhance her combat effectiveness, Xiao Ting was abused for a long time in the arena.
As a person who has gained great power suddenly, because of the sudden gain of great power, the control over his own power is actually very weak, and after Xiao Ting entered the arena, in the arena, he basically faced all As a person of the same level as her own, compared with others who have gained strength through hard work, her control over her own strength is naturally her biggest weakness.
So much so that in the arena, it is basically taught by others.
After countless beatings, although Xiao Ting said that she could not control her own strength to the extent that she could command her, but compared to the beginning, if she could not mobilize at all, she was still at the upper-middle level at this time.
Thus, although there was no real fight, when entering the dark area at this time and encountering the attack of undead creatures, it is not impossible to have no resistance at all.
At this time, Xu Luo just watched all this quietly, and didn't think about intervening in the middle.
At this time, he could clearly feel that Xiao Ting encountered many undead creatures' attacks and killed them in the process of continuously moving forward. At this time, her confidence in her heart was also growing. More feet.
After all, when she was in the arena before, she was basically tortured and killed by those strong men, so Xiao Ting's confidence was actually greatly bruised.
Now that she is so powerful when facing these undead creatures, she suddenly has a clear understanding in her heart.
Although it is true that I am not the opponent of the opponent when I face some real masters, it is not that I can't beat the opponent when I face those who are not as good as myself.
When killing these undead creatures, Xiao Ting was very curious when she saw black beads falling from the ground, and picked up the paper casually.
"The ones you are facing now are undead creatures, which are the most common existence in the nether world. After killing them, you can get energy cores, and energy cores can be used as trading goods in the land of light. You You can also sell it, or absorb the energy from it yourself!"
Knowing that Xiao Ting was very confused about the current situation, Xu Luo told her a little bit about the basic situation in the Nether World, and then didn't pay much attention to it.
Knowing that these black beads can be used as source stones to absorb the energy in them, or can be sold, Xiao Ting will directly pick up the energy cores after killing those undead creatures.
So her progress is slower than at the beginning.
But as long as she is in the dark area at this time, the surrounding undead creatures will continuously attack her, so she doesn't need to take the initiative to find the other party's trace.
At this time, as long as the light area stands here, it is the brightest torch in the darkness for the ghost creatures.
At this time, even if they are not driven by the Nether Lord, these ghost creatures will also be driven by their own instincts, and spontaneously gather here.
Many weak people rely on the light area and the junction of the dark area at this time, and do not dare to go too deep.
After all, their strength is not that strong at all. Once they go too deep, they will be surrounded by a large number of undead creatures, or if they encounter powerful undead creatures, they will basically have no chance of surviving.
So at this time, rely on the junction of the two worlds, and rely on the defense line behind you to attack these undead creatures.
At that time, if the undead creatures you face are too strong, or there are too many, they can be thrown into the light area at any time.
And once in the light area, even if these undead creatures rush into the light area along with them, the opponent's strength will be greatly restricted at that time, and at the same time, they will always be attacked by the light force , they can easily kill it.
Only those who are powerful, or who have very strong confidence in their own strength, dare to go deep into further areas to meet more undead creatures.
But what I have to mention is that the so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger. At this time, as long as you go deep into the nether region, you can naturally get more meritorious service and energy cores if you can kill a large number of nether creatures. Get more benefits.
At this time, Xiao Ting had just arrived, and she didn't know the specific situation of the Nether World. At this time, she was basically about 100 meters away from the bright area, and then she kept facing some of the surrounding undead creatures. Let her attack.
And she is always willing to come, no matter how many undead creatures come, they will only be killed, and then all the energy cores obtained will be picked up.
At the beginning, Xiao Ting seemed to be able to do a job with ease, but because she didn't have too much combat experience, even though she fought with others from time to time in the arena, because before that, she was basically a pair One, so he can unscrupulously release his own abilities and show his most powerful side, without having to consider the issue of endurance.
At this time, she was in the dark area, and the situation she faced was completely different from when she was in the arena before.
Therefore, she, who seemed to be able to do a job with ease at the beginning, was slightly panting when faced with the attacks of more and more undead creatures around her.
Because he felt the pressure at this time, and at the same time, before that, he burst out with the most powerful combat power, which made him kill those undead creatures around him in an understatement.
But at this time, under the condition of excessive self-consumption, his state naturally dropped all of a sudden.
Seeing this situation, Xu Luo shook his head slightly.
It seems that Xiao Ting was very powerful in the past, but after all, he just used power to overwhelm others. With the strength of the legendary realm, when facing these undead creatures, he already has the crushing rank effect, so killing them is naturally nothing.
And in the dark area, there is one thing that is very critical, and that is your own battery life!
Mainly in the dark area, if you consume too much of your ability, you will naturally fall into a weak state at that time. In this way, when facing the undead creatures that are constantly attacking, your state will only become worse and worse. worse.
In the end, you will die from exhaustion, so saving your own strength and allowing yourself to exert a stronger effect with a small amount of strength is the most important thing.
For Xu Luo, this kind of actual combat experience has a stronger training effect. After all, under such circumstances, if you have no strength left, it will directly lead to your own death.
At this time, all aspects must be considered. The requirements for energy output and the control of one's own power when killing the enemy are very high.
To deal with the opponent quickly and without wasting any power, this is what they need to practice slowly.
Because of this, Xu Luo directly threw Xiao Ting into the dark area at this time.
The purpose is to enhance her combat experience. Obviously, at this time, Xiao Ting's first challenge has already been shown.
It's just that Xiao Ting, who is in a state of war at this time, doesn't know what the test Xu Luo is giving herself is.
At this time, he has been struggling to kill the undead creatures that are rushing towards him around him, but in the past, he could easily kill those undead creatures by himself, but this time he rushed towards him without fear of death .
At the same time, she could clearly feel that she was gradually struggling at this time.
Because the consumption of my own blood began to become serious at this time.
Regarding this, Xu Luo didn't speak at this time, but just quietly watched him fight there. At the same time, regarding his current performance, he silently scored a point from the bottom of his heart.
If Xu Luo is allowed to conduct the assessment, it is obvious that he will directly give Xiao Ting a failing grade at this time.
But no matter what, Xiao Ting hadn't experienced these things before, so it can only be regarded as unsatisfactory to achieve this level at this time.
From the very beginning, Xu Luo didn't have too strong demands on her, so it is better than nothing to achieve this level at this time.
During the constant battle, Xiao Ting felt a little tired at this time when her energy and blood burst out from time to time, and sweat dripped down her cheeks.
But at this time, she didn't care about wiping at all, but had to fight as soon as possible so that the undead creatures around her could not get close to her.
Because once these undead creatures approach you, it will take more effort to avoid the other party, so the consumption of resignation will be even more serious.
At this time, he knew that he was consuming too much, but earlier, Xu Luo reminded him that there was pure energy in the energy core that he could absorb.
So at this time, Xiao Ting did not continue to be idle, but held the energy core in the other hand to absorb the energy in it, while her right hand held the long sword in her hand, and continuously launched attacks to strengthen herself. Endurance.
Through this method, her situation has indeed changed a lot.
The reason for this is that Xiao Ting is improving on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is because of the energy supplement, her combat effectiveness has naturally increased.
