Shortly after, Lin Zifeng arrived at the Green Lotus Palace.
“My lord.”
Lin Zifeng cupped his hands respectfully at Mei Changge.
“Drop the formalities.”
“I need you to enter the stargate. Do you dare to do it?”
Mei Changge smiled and asked Lin Zifeng.
“Yes, my lord!”
When Lin Zifeng heard Mei Changge’s words, he replied solemnly.
Mei Changge had a total of 13 level-one stargate tokens. Other than the remaining eight from the Blue Star Academy, the other five were obtained by Lin Zifeng from the foreign races.
He also wanted to obtain the resources in these level-one stargates as soon as possible. Be it treasures or a large number of humans, they were all that he needed.
“Okay, but with the Forest race possibly arriving soon, you’re limited to bringing just 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers.”
“My lord, don’t worry. 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers are enough.”
Lin Zifeng nodded. He also knew that Green Lotus City was facing an attack from the Forest race at any time. He was a little surprised to be able to lead 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers.
“In that case, go on and prepare yourself.”
Mei Changge nodded. Soon after, Lin Zifeng left the Green Lotus Palace and gathered 5,000 Mystic Yang soldiers.
On the other side, Guo Jia brought the spatial ring to the Creation Camp.
His gaze landed on the furnace.
“Oh, has it been refined?”
Looking at the bricks that were gradually taking shape in the furnace, Guo Jia had a surprised look.
He did not expect that the Creation Camp would have already refined the brick wall after he had only entered Great Xia Market with his lord.
“Old Zhao, Old Zhao!”
Guo Jia shouted and an old man walked out of the room.
The old man wore a gray robe and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.
“Mr. Guo, you’re back.”
When the old man saw Guo Jia, his eyes lit up. Then, he went forward and pulled Guo Jia to the side.
The old man was named Zhao Decai, known for his virtuous character and remarkable skills. He was reputed to be an experienced craftsman.
He was also one of the leaders in this Creation Camp.
The Spiritual Energy Cannons were forged by his subordinates. Zhao Decai led some men to study the bricks in the furnace.
“Old Zhao, has this wall been refined?”
Guo Jia could not help but ask after Zhao De brought him to a corner.
“Yes, but..
Zhao Decai’s face was filled with pride, but he quickly frowned.
“But what?”
Guo Jia asked curiously. The brick wall had already been refined. Could it be that the quality was not good?
“Even though the brick wall was meticulously refined, if it’s employed as is, it’s essentially no different from the wall right in front of you.”
As soon as Zhao De finished speaking, he reached out and pushed gently.
The green wall in front of him collapsed with a bang.
“Could this be the brick wall that was refined?”
Looking at the green bricks scattered on the ground, Guo Jia had a look of disbelief on his face.
“That’s right.”
Zhao Decai said helplessly. After saying that, he picked up a brick from the ground.
“The durability of this brick matches that of the bricks in Green Lotus City.
However, we’ve run into an issue.”
Zhao Decai held the brick in his hand and explained to Guo Jia.
“While these wall bricks are sufficiently sturdy, if we intend to construct a wall, they can’t be securely fastened together and are prone to crumble.”
Zhao Decai handed the brick to Guo Jia with a helpless expression.
He had even used the materials to refine the wall bricks, but he still could not perfectly fix them together.
Hearing Zhao Decai’s words, Guo Jia suddenly remembered that when Wang Qing’s Yellow-Scarved Soldiers built the city wall, they seemed to have used a special item to fix the bricks together.
Regrettably, Mei Changge had been entirely engrossed with the bricks at that time, and he had actually overlooked such a crucial detail. “Old Zhao, looks like I’ll have to trouble you to research it.”
Guo Jia had a helpless expression as he spoke to Zhao Decai.
“My lord gave me a lot of good materials this time, including 10 tons of red-striped iron.”
As Guo Jia spoke, he took out items from his spatial ring.
He didn’t retrieve all of them. He only brought out a portion, yet this still filled up the small courtyard.
“Alright, I finally have enough materials!”
It was only at that moment that Zhao De laid eyes on the materials Guo Jia had brought out. His eyes brightened as if he had reunited with a long-lost friend.
“By the way, what’s the name of this brick?”
Guo Jia examined the two palm-sized bricks in his hand, wearing a perplexed expression as he inquired.
“I call it the Green Brick. Now that I have the experience to refine it, it will be easy to create it in the future. Moreover, the quantity will increase.”
Zhao Decai did not turn around. He squatted on the ground and looked at the materials Guo Jia took out.
As for the name of Green Brick, he would not say that it was a name he had just come up with.
“Green Brick? Not bad.’
Hearing Zhao Decai’s words, Guo Jia nodded with a satisfied expression.
“Old Zhao, don’t overlook examining the components that bind these Green
Bricks together. Additionally, focus on producing as many Spiritual Energy
Cannons as you can. We might need them in the near future.”
Guo Jia looked at Zhao Decai, who was squatting on the ground, and realized that he was smiling like an old man who was interacting with a child.
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
Zhao Decai stood up with a smile on his face. The fatigue in his eyes had unknowingly disappeared.
“Alright, I’ll leave first. Take this ring too. All the materials are inside.”
Guo Jia threw the spatial ring to Zhao Decai. Then, he gave a few simple instructions and left the small courtyard.
After leaving, Guo Jia headed to his office.
His office was not far from Green Lotus Palace.
“The Forest race is probably coming soon and the lord has the intention to build a framework. Looks like I have to consider it carefully.”
As Guo Jia walked towards his residence, he was thinking about the future development of Green Lotus City.
However, he had to deal with the Forest race first.
“I wonder if Xu Chu and the rest have found any traces of the Forest race.”
Guo Jia wore a contemplative expression. Since Xu Chu and the others had returned, he had tasked them with establishing concealed sentries around Green Lotus City to guard against potential attacks from the Forest race. It appeared that there were no updates. It was likely that the Forest race had not yet arrived.
However, if the Forest race did not come, Guo Jia would not want to remain passive.
At this thought, Guo Jia turned around and walked towards Xu Chu and the others.
Upon reaching the camp where Xu Chu and the others were stationed, he discovered that the soldiers were in a state of “standoff.
They were led by Xu Chu and Song Yubai.
“Are you guys having a fight?”
Looking at the expressions on the two of them, Guo Jia could not help but smile.
This made the two of them stop.
“Mr. Guo?”
“No, we’re just conducting a simple training.”
Xu Chu smiled. Then, he wrapped his arms around Song Yubai’s neck and came to Guo Jia.
“Mr. Guo, why are you here?”
Song Yubai broke free from Xu Chu’s arm and asked Guo Jia..
