Chapter 958: Chapter 958
After the military forces from two different territories joined, the vicinity of the City of Islands became very safe. Even if some Magical Beasts approached, a group of soldiers would block them in time, and then the high-burst Tian Gang Martial Artists would eliminate them.
Seeing that the city had stabilized and had numerous military forces, organizations that had previously wanted to target the City of Islands in secret gradually quieted down. They wanted to deal with the City of Islands only to weaken the strength of other nearby forces, not because of any animosity. Since they couldn’t weaken the city, they had no choice but to endure it.
As for what other methods might be needed in the future, that was for Li Minglu to consider, Du You couldn’t be bothered.
To Du You, establishing this so-called city was merely a tool for collecting resources to enhance his own strength. In essence, his own power was the most important, and he did not place much value on the city itself.
"Boss, I think you should just go ahead and apply Law Formalization to Shaliya and the others as well, it will make management easier. If there are some matters that can’t be communicated properly, they can go to the Giant World without always having me run over there."
Li Minglu finally found Du You, who was leisurely at ease, and expressed his helplessness with a complaint.
"Law Formalization right now isn’t good, is it? It’s not easy to enter tier four after Law Formalization. Let’s wait until they reach tier four on their own through cultivation," Du You replied with his own thoughts.
Reaching tier four on one’s own, familiarizing oneself with their abilities, and then transitioning would instantly grant many tier four skills without the need for gradual progression like Du You, which was far too troublesome.
Even as a territory manager, lacking strength could lead to trouble, something Du You had experienced firsthand.
"Boss, are you misunderstanding something? The earlier you go through Law Formalization, the better. There are always aspects neglected by self-cultivation. If you wait for them to reach tier four before Law Formalization, their star ranks might be low. Besides, although early transformation seems troublesome, in truth, the speed of cultivation will be faster, and they will be stronger after advancement," Li Minglu explained.
"Moreover, their star ranks can be raised appropriately during the transition from tier three to tier four."
"Is that so? Well, I’ll call them over and ask," Du You thought for a moment and finally called over Shaliya and Luo Jia to inquire. Both agreed, so Du You had no more concerns.
He immediately had them go through Law Formalization, and after completing the process, Du You shook his head. "This talent is indeed lackluster."
Having seen Elsa’s advancement directly to 8 stars, Du You was very dissatisfied with the two advancing to only 6 stars. But there was nothing that could be done, this was the best they could achieve with the territory’s resources.
According to Li Minglu, if the two had reached tier four before advancement, they might have only been 5 stars.
However, both were currently at tier three, and during their advancement, there would be ways to improve their star rank, raising it to at least 7 stars without issue, or even to 8 stars with good initial preparation at the expense of some resources.
And Du You would not be stingy with such resources for cultivating his subordinates.
"All right, leave their future advancement to you. Don’t rush, strive to enhance your potential," Du You instructed. Shaliya, as a Spellcaster, was fine, but Luo Jia was a Tian Gang Martial Artist. So far, the Tian Gang Martial Artists had no advanced profession, and advancing rashly could be detrimental to future development.
A few days later, the underground passage was completed. The link was located in an attached city north of No. 37 Satellite City, right at the edge of the Capital. It should be noted that even the satellite cities near the Capital are large cities within the alliance.
For such an attached city of a satellite city to be connected to a newly established city was more than sufficient. If not for the prestige of the academy, as well as the interventions of Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao, this underground passage wouldn’t have been so easily constructed.
With the underground passage in place, just a little promotion would naturally lead many civilians to move into the city. The population in the city would quickly be resolved. Then it would be time for the city’s great development. When that time came, there would be many troubles, and as the acting lord of the city, Li Minglu would certainly be busy.
Left with no choice, Li Minglu went to Du You and said, "Boss, I suggest we find another manager. I’m already busy managing the Giant World, and with an additional city, I might be overwhelmed."
"Isn’t it better to find an agent? Why don’t you cultivate one yourself?"
"How could that be possible? City management isn’t something you can entrust to just anyone. It would take a lot of time to cultivate the right person. If you find it bothersome, boss, I could look for one. After I find them, you can make a contract with them."
"That’s fine, then it’s up to you. It’s best if you can sign a master-servant contract; I don’t want to deal with any trouble," Du You agreed.
Okay, Du You wouldn’t be troubled, but finding such a person was a hassle in itself. Now it seemed that Li Minglu would have a headache to deal with. He had no choice though, Du You was already being quite accommodating. Fresh chapters posted on 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
"Strange, the teams of Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue have actually joint forces to explore the Other World together. When did their relationship become so good?" Du You found the information from the two quite surprising.
After the passage was opened, Du You had met with them only once, then they had left. According to them, they couldn’t allow themselves to lag too far behind him. He was already tier four, and they had to catch up quickly.
But catching up to him was not so easy. As they were advancing, wasn’t he also progressing? Not only was he advancing, but he was also doing so at a rapid pace, faster than anyone else.
"Maybe, it’s because they felt the pressure," Lin Yucha said, looking at Du You.
They had all realized that those two were clearly influenced by their master, yet he remained somewhat oblivious. Du You was currently only somewhat aware of Li Mengyao’s obvious feelings, but he could not perceive anything from Xi Qianxue.
Oh, oblivious master, can’t you see that both of them are interested in you?
Of course, the two sisters wouldn’t actively remind him; such matters were for the master to deal with personally. If they spoke out of turn, it might easily cause them trouble, so they acted as if unaware of anything.
"Forget it, let’s not worry about it. Have we obtained the coordinates of the world we’re after? Good, then next we’ll head to the Giant Beast World," said Du You, who had long wanted to visit the Giant Beast World, where it was the best place to advance Summoned Beasts.
