Chapter 242: Returning to South Sky City
Chu Tian’s shoulders were not big, but they were warm, giving a sense of security.
After Meng Yingying got used to them, she wasn’t feeling as shy anymore.
“Where are we going next?”
“We’ll just stroll around!”
“Alright!”
The two of them left the city via the airship and went to tour the surrounding industrial area. From above, they looked down at the various factories in the area.
“I can see the canned food factory!”
Meng Yingying happily pointed down, that was the canned food factory that Yingying poured a lot of effort into. Most of the canned food factory in Central State had begun their work. Most of the fresh ingredients came from local farms and hunting areas, sending them to the factory using horse carts. There were several thousand people busily working in the factory.
After the large amounts of canned food were produced, they were all stored in Miracle Commerce’s canned food warehouses. There were several warehouses that were filled, but with the current sale speed, if they sold all of them, that amount did not count for much.
Meng Yingying was very proud of this.
Because inventing the canned food was the greatest contribution she had made to Miracle Commerce. Meng Yingying hoped that her canned food could be sold to the entire kingdom, even reaching other kingdoms and other races!
The airship continued forward, passing by many other factories. A few of these were factories Miracle Commerce had built and there were a few factories that belonged to Miracle Commerce’s partners.
In short, in Central State, most of the resources were being used by Miracle Commerce!
It was estimated in the future that close to three hundred to five hundred thousand people would be either directly or indirectly working for Miracle Commerce. Miracle Commerce had high profitability, so they treated their staff very well. Because Miracle Commerce had appeared, the entire Central State economy had increased by several times.
It really was unbelievable that Miracle Commerce could develop to this stage!
The airship arrived at the harbour. The current docks was very lively with countless thousands of sailors transporting goods. From high up in the air, they could see that large amounts of fresh lumber were being imported because Miracle Commerce wanted to fix the docks and at the same time, build several new docks and cargo terminals.
The several dozen ships all looked like children’s toys, being placed on that clear, blue lake. Each one had the Giant Shark Gang’s banner on it and was being repaired and modified into a cargo ship for Miracle Commerce.
Because they had obtained a large amount of financing and resources, the Giant Shark Gang’s development was very quick. They were planning to build their own private docks in several states, opening the path to aquatic expansion!
“In just a few months time, our newly formed small company from South Sky City has turned into the largest company in Central State, occupying most of the resources!” Meng Yingying saw all this and felt very proud, “Now Central State belongs to us!”
“You’re satisfied with this?” Chu Tian shook his head at Yingying who was lacking in ambition, “Central State is too small, Southern Summer is also too small…..Even this continent is too small. This is just the beginning!”
That’s right.
The road ahead was very long.
It was because of this that they were filled with anticipation.
“How about we head back to South Sky City to take a look?” Chu Tian gave a suggestion, “I also heard that there was an Ultra Wave Crystal mine that was found in South Sky City, so we can go and take a look.”
“Alright! Alright!” Meng Yingying nodded like a chicken pecking rice, “I wanted to go back for a look a long time ago!”
The two of them left as soon as they decided. They immediately steered the airship from Central State City to South Sky City.
When they entered the unpopulated area.
Under the blue sky, there was an endless plain of green grass, a vast wilderness that was as beautiful as an emerald. Rivers were like silver ribbons cast in the green fields. There were several thousand bulls running across the grass with large groups of demons beasts chasing each other.
“So high, so high! Go higher, go higher!”
Meng Yingying called out like a child.
The airship continued to rise.
“We’ve arrived above the clouds!”
“There are so many clouds, they’re just like cotton!”
A group of strange birds came beside them, looking over this giant monster that they had never seen before. This was a completely new experience for Meng Yingying.
“Can it go even higher?”
“It can’t right now.” Chu Tian shook his head and said, “It is already at its maximum altitude. If we go even higher, we’ll encounter strong astral winds. This airship is too crude and it can’t resist being torn by the astral winds.”
“It doesn’t matter, you can’t experience everything at once with fun things.” Meng Yingying was not discouraged, “How about we make an airship out of iron next time? We’ll fly to an altitude of several tens of thousands of meters!”
This girl!
She really dared to think of everything.
She really didn’t know the height of the heavens or the depths of the earth!
Chu Tian still gave a laugh, “Alright, we’ll make an iron airship in the future!”
Using normal travel methods, it would take at least two days to reach South Sky City. The airship’s full speed was even faster than that of a horse, so it took half a day to reach South Sky City.
In just a few months.
South Sky City had already undergone a giant change.
The birthplace of Miracle Commerce, it had already long obtained the blessings of Miracle Commerce and had already become a modern city illuminated by lights. Almost every store was full of electrical lights and various Miracle Commerce products were displayed on the street. Everywhere they looked, there were traces of Miracle Commerce.
“I want to see our old house!”
Meng Yingying pointed at an urban area that was the previous manor of Southern Cloud Commerce and was the place Meng Yingying had lived in for over ten years. It had been ruined by an attack from the Ye Family, but Meng Qingwu had people rebuild it and it looked the same as before.
When looking at the backyard, she was suddenly filled with emotions.
This was where she had secretly taken Chu Tian who she bought from the slave market into her room. At that time, she never would have imagined that her life would change after bringing Chu Tian home.
There was no one living in the Meng Manor and it had become a place of historical significance for South Sky City.
When the airship descended in the South Sky City square, the citizens of South Sky City let out a cheer. Chu Tian had changed their lives and was the pride of South Sky City. Miracle Commerce was now the biggest influence in Central State City, so how could the South Sky City citizens not be proud?
“Everyone, long time no see!”
Meng Yingying saw many familiar faces in South Sky City.
“Everyone, Miracle Commerce has progressed by leaps and bounds and is now the largest company in Central State. The reason we could develop so quickly was also because of the support of the citizens from South Sky City. Today, I will invest thirty million gold coins as a welfare fund for the benefit of the South Sky City citizens. It will be used to build more infrastructure, help the poor, and improve the lives of the South Sky City citizens!”
Thirty million gold coins!
He really was reckless!
Chu Tian did not even blink as he gave away this giant amount that people didn’t even dare think about!
Thirty million gold coins wasn’t anything for Miracle Commerce, but that wasn’t the same for South Sky City. This was just a normal city. For example, the Du Clan, each household only had several hundred gold coins. With Miracle Commerce suddenly giving out thirty million gold coins, how could they not be shocked?
The people of South Sky City broke out in cheers.
South Sky City had a population of over three million people!
Many people made less than ten gold coins per year!
If thirty million gold coins was divided into equal portions for everyone, then they would all receive ten gold coins. This was simply giving away money.
The two of them went to the Mayor’s palace.
Nangong Yi was in good spirits. Not only was he the South Sky City Mayor, he was also a partner of Miracle Commerce, being in charge of Miracle Commerce Store’s development.
Nangong Yi knew about everything that happened in Central State City.
Now that Miracle Commerce was in charge of Central State, becoming a giant, he also felt very happy about this.
“This is a little gift for you.” Chu Tian lightly patted his gourd and a pile of materials was released. There were several half step Saint Grade items and even a low grade Saint Herb.
Nangong Yi couldn’t help being stunned. The value of these items could reach over one hundred million gold coins, “This is too precious, I can’t take it!”
“This was all taken from the three great families and Miracle Commerce has much more in our warehouses, so there’s no need to be polite. You father and daughter pair have helped us quite a bit and there isn’t enough resources in South Sky City, which will affect your cultivation speed. Just consider this a subsidiary from us.”
How could the rich Chu Tian care about this little?
Nangong Yi knew Chu Tian’s personality. Since Chu Tian was giving something away, he should just accept it.
“Central State has been surveyed and South Sky City has the most mineable crystal oil. This energy will be the basis of Miracle Commerce’s development, so you need to make Source Energy Battery factories in South Sky City as soon as possible!”
“Relax, vice chairman has already told me about this and the crystal oil mines are being fully used. In the future, we will be able to produce an extra million tons of processed crystal oil!” Nangong Yi said this and then changed the topic, “Other than that, I also heard that chairman is looking for a special crystal. In the forested mountains a few dozen kilometers away, we’ve found a crystal that has similar characteristics.”
“That is why I came!” Chu Tian gave a laugh, “Take out a sample for me to see.”
Nangong Yi took out a sample from the warehouse. This was a glowing crystal that looked like jade, releasing a gorgeous light. There were also some strange images coming from it and it was releasing a strange energy.
Meng Yingying quickly asked, “This is the Ultra Wave Crystal?”
“No.” Chu Tian knit his brows, “This clearly isn’t it.”
Meng Yingying and Nangong Yi revealed looks of disappointment.
Chu Tian then said, “However, isn’t this a Hidden Image Stone?”
“Ah?” Meng Yingying asked, “Can the Hidden Image Stone be used?”
“Of course, just like how the Hidden Sound Stone stores sounds and can be used to create the Magnetic Sound Stone, being used to create the communication device, the radio, and etc. This Hidden Image Stone is like the Hidden Sound Stone, but it stores something different. This Hidden Image Stone can use light to store pictures and if used properly, it can store an image.”
Meng Yingying did not understand this at all.
“To put it simply, this is a cheap and easy to use image creating material and you’ll understand the beauty of this item in the future.” Chu Tian did not imagine that coming on a leisure trip to South Sky City with Meng Yingying would yield such a harvest, “How big is the ore reserve for this?”
“It’s very rich, but the position is remote so it is hard to transport.”
Chu Tian pointed at the airship over South Sky City, “Whether it is a remote forest or a remote island, with this thing, will transport still be a problem?”
“If we have this flying device as a transport device, mining will be ten thousand times easier!”
“Then start mining in large amounts and send them to Central State, we have a use for them!”
“Alright!”
Nangong Yi enthusiastically replied.
The Hidden Image Stone was not a spiritual energy attributed of material and was a light attributed material, which could be used for a wide variety of things. Chu Tian was looking for the Ultra Wave Stone, but he did not find the Ultra Wave Stone and found the Hidden Image Stone in return, so this trip to South Sky City was not in vain.
The next day, the two of them returned to Central State City via the airship while being sent off by countless citizens.
Meng Yingying was very satisfied with the airship’s speed and performance. She would have Chu Tian invest in an airship factory once they got back.
“There are many places where this airship needs to be improved.” Chu Tian revealed a faint smile, “How about this, I’ll have Meng Qingwu take out one hundred million from the company as a research and development fund and create a Miracle Source Energy Mechanics Department? I’ll let you be chairman and Tong Xiaoyu be vice chairman, and you two can improve it together, alright?”
“That’s good!”
Meng Yingying already had nothing to do and she was very interested in this airship, so she agreed without even thinking about it. Chu Tian also had different reasons for giving her this responsibility. Meng Yingying was not as smart as Meng Qingwu, but Meng Yingying had ideas pop into her head and often came up with unexpected things.
Meng Yingying could imitate the abilities of other people’s source spirits and after she imitated Meng Qingwu’s Heavenly Book Source Spirit, her learning abilities were quite strong. Meng Qingwu couldn’t handle all of the departments in the research facility, so Meng Yingying could also help her manage a part of it.
The Miracle Source Energy Mechanics Department seemed like it was made on one of Chu Tian’s whims, but it had a large significance. The things that Chu Tian would make in the future would require the help of this department, so even if they couldn’t meet the qualifications right now, he was preparing for a rainy day.
“We’ve also received the latest news on the Ultra Wave Stone.”
Meng Qingwu ran over to Chu Tian and said this.
“We’ve obtained news that Qing State had found a new type of crystal that fits the description of the Ultra Wave Crystal that you mentioned. I’m pretty confident it’s correct, so should we send someone over to bring a sample back?”
“Qing State? It isn’t that far!” Chu Tian rubbed his chin and said, “No need to send anyone, I’ll make a personal trip instead.”
