I Became an Old Man in My Leisure Time

Chapter 189: Blue Sea City, Blue Sea Cave

Gu Ke has always been considerate. He did not ask about the imperial carriage and said, "Okay, we can go see the scenery later."

He immersed himself in the 3D topographic map in his consciousness and looked at the light spot representing the totem pole of Liangshan Village.

Compared with the initial dim and weak situation, the volume of this light spot has not changed much, but it is very bright, revealing a sense of stability and concentration.

Saranzhu's shadow appeared on the light spot.

This is not her real body, but a virtual image formed by the divine mind - of course, it must be approved by Gu Ke.

This guy did not know when he found some clothing concept drawings from the classics. This virtual image was wearing a white shirt, a suit skirt, black knee-high socks and high heels.

And the hem of the suit skirt is seven inches above the knee, and the socks make a slight concave circle on the round thigh, which looks very fleshy.

The white shirt is unbuttoned to the fourth button, and the snowy narrow abyss is dotted with a touch of purple hollow color on both sides.

Gu Ke was speechless, but honestly gave a salute: Well, low taste is human nature, and it should be there.

He has agreed to let Saranzhu place and adjust the system buildings on his behalf, so he will wait to see the long-legged secretary work next.

This process is not complicated. Anyway, the core of the second cave house, the player's hut, can only be placed near the totem pole.

After knowing that the totem pole can be used as the basis of the second cave house, Gu Ke specifically gave feedback to the elders of Liangshan Village about his ideas.

For this reason, there was a large-scale debate between the high-level and middle-level people in Liangshan Village.

In the end, the elders and high-level people who adhered to Shennong's will prevailed. Although many people in the middle and low levels were puzzled and resisted, Gu Ke's idea was still implemented.

So for more than a hundred years, the totem pole that had always been located in the Nanye Mountains was carefully placed on the sedan chair.

Under the escort of dozens of two-wheeled masters and hundreds of one-wheeled warriors, it was moved to a place thousands of miles southeast of Liangshan Village.

It is the junction of the mountains and the plains, and there is a big river flowing through it.

It is nearly a thousand miles away from the nearest county town, with only a few wild villages and wild villages, which belong to the ownerless land that can be seen everywhere in Dawu.

Before moving the totem pole, Liangshan Village had sent a large number of people and arranged rest points along the way.

If there is a village, it will be incorporated into a branch village. If there is no village, a small village will be built, leaving some permanent personnel to meet the subsequent team.

After more than half a year of multiple migrations, thousands of Liangshan Village residents came here, settled down, and built a new city - Bihai City.

The name of this city was given by Gu Ke, which is almost the same as that of Bai Suqing's family.

On the other hand, because Dawu's terrain is high in the west and low in the east, the river named Bishui River also flows from northwest to southeast.

It passes through hills and mountains, plains and valleys, and finally flows into Lanwan Island at a straight-line distance of more than 5,000 miles.

Human life is inseparable from water, and big cities have always been built along the water.

In other words, after the people who migrated from Liangshan Village have gained a foothold, they can completely advance along this river all the way to Lanwan Island, the estuary of Bishui River.

According to the news from the outside world, the group of monsters that were beaten up by Gu Ke when he took the opportunity to set up a stall have regrouped and landed on Lanwan Island.

After confirming that the fairy mountain has disappeared and will no longer appear, the newly arrived monster king has driven a large number of monsters to attack northward and fought with several big cities in Nanye Country.

This is undoubtedly very bad news for the four kingdoms in Dawu.

One in the south and one in the north, one demon and one ghost, two great enemies started to attack Dawu one after another.

This made Dawu, which was already at a disadvantage, quite passive.

All the resources originally inclined to the Northern Desert Kingdom had to be temporarily suspended to consider how to allocate them.

The ghosts in the north attacked crazily, and the newly appeared demons in the south were equally good.

If it weren't for the first wave of destruction by the fairy mountain, giving the Southern Wild Kingdom a buffer time of 10 to 20 days, its situation might be worse than that of the Northern Desert Kingdom.

Of course, how the four kingdoms in the court respond is their business, and Gu Ke is not idle either.

Liangshan Village is deep in the mountains, which can be isolated from the outside world in the early stage of development. This is a great thing.

But over the years, the disadvantages of staying in the mountains have become apparent.

Small population, little arable land, and poor resource circulation, each of which is a taboo for development.

The population of the main village of Liangshan Village is 20,000 to 30,000, which is the limit for large-scale settlement in the mountains.

It is not impossible to expand further, but the cost-effectiveness will be very low and the efficiency will be low.

So Gu Ke took the initiative to issue an order, asking them to come out and absorb refugees while Nanye Kingdom was busy, and speed up the construction of the city.

The reason why they did not do this before was that the totem pole had not yet met the requirements.

If the people of Liangshan Village alone went to a strange place thousands of miles away to open up wasteland, they might encounter a demon king or dozens of demon generals, and they would be wiped out instantly.

With the totem pole, Gu Ke can project over without risk, and this will not happen.

As long as he does not encounter an enemy with overwhelming strength, he does not need to care about the general battles and killings at all, and Liangshan Village’s own strength is enough to deal with it.

As Bihai City develops, it will also develop along the river to the southeast, and the monster group will sooner or later conflict with Bihai City.

At that time, if they come less, they will be killed by Bihai City, and if the demon king comes, he will be killed by Gu Ke.

With Bihai City sharing the pressure of Nanye Kingdom and threatening the monster group from the side, it is difficult for them to advance northward without scruples.

No scruples? Gu Ke would naturally make them cautious.

Of course, the most important point is the terrain.

The Jade Dragon Valley is a place where natural veins converge. Zhao Guangtian used this to arrange a large blood sacrifice array, which eventually became a channel for the cave to absorb external souls.

Liangshan Village is not possible.

It was not until Gu Ke set up a stall on Blue Bay Island that he had nothing to do for more than an hour, so he used a large-scale perception (fuzzy perception, a distance a hundred times greater than divine thoughts) to check the surroundings.

When going up the river, he accidentally felt that the place where the Blue Sea City was located was a little special.

The specific terrain was different, but it felt similar to the Jade Dragon Valley, so he kept an eye on it.

After the totem pole was in place, Saranzhu, the palace spirit, went out to investigate personally.

She knew her "body" much more clearly than he, a bystander.

After a comparison, Saranzhu determined that the Blue Sea City was a place where the water and gas of the earth veins converged.

That was why Gu Ke felt that it was special, somewhat similar to the Jade Dragon Cave, but not completely the same.

In terms of practical effect, this place is undoubtedly more suitable for building a cave than the remote Liangshan Village.

However, how to modify the large blood sacrifice array to make use of the extra water vapor requires time to experiment, and even Saranzhu dare not guarantee when there will be results.

During this period, placing the totem pole in the Blue Sea City can also receive a certain amount of water vapor from the ground veins.

This is good for it, but without the assistance of the blood sacrifice array, the effect is small.

Gu Ke decided to build the Blue Sea City as soon as he heard it.

The people of Liangshan Village transported the totem poles here, and the straight-line distance was more than 5,000 miles, and the road along the river was nearly 10,000 miles.

There was no second suitable place along the way, which is enough to prove the rarity of this special terrain.

Think about the Yulong Valley on the western plateau, which was also built by Zhao Guangtian with the efforts of the whole country.

Doesn't he want to change to a place closer to the Dawu Courtyard?

Maybe Zhao Guangtian thought about it, but it is more likely that he couldn't find a more suitable place for the ground veins to converge, so he chose the Yulong Cave Mansion.

Dawu is vast, and Gu Ke's wide-range vague perception is not a divine thought, and he cannot notice every place.

Instead of spending a lot of time searching, it is more time-saving and labor-saving to use the ready-made ones first.

So the people of Liangshan Village settled in their new home and started to build the Blue Sea City on the plain not far from the foot of the mountain.

And the totem pole was placed on a hundred-foot mountain ten miles away to the west after Saranzhu's investigation.

To the west of the mountain is the boundless mountain, next to the surging green water river.

In the future, when the second cave is expanded, it will extend westward and will not occupy the plain under the mountain.

A straight mountain road was built on the east side, leading to the top of the mountain.

There is a large platform on the top of the mountain for the people of Liangshan Village to hold festival worship activities.

The second cave is different from the Yulong Cave, and everything has to start from scratch.

The level 0 hut provides a 30% discount on the standard bamboo house, and only 3 units of soul source are required.

It can also activate a fairy field, provide exclusive fertilizer at a 50% discount, 5 units of soul source, and the cost is almost equal to nothing.

But the level 0 hut and the attached stone platform occupy two fen, and a fairy field occupies two fen.

The totem pole that has just been transformed can only maintain this system building for the time being.

Gu Ke thought, and the four of them appeared in the second cave.

The hut was empty, but Xiaoman looked at it with nostalgia, muttering: "This is the kind of hut that Lao Gu and I slept in together at the beginning."

"I sleep here, he sleeps here, and I can see him as soon as I open my eyes."

"Sister Bai likes to sit here. I will put the materials for making straw sandals and straw mats here. She always moves them to the corner and says that I put things in a mess."

As she said this, Saranzhu was so angry that her face swelled up: Damn! She actually pretended to be.

To be honest, Xiaoman was the first one to "join" Gu Ke. Not to mention sleeping in the same bed, at least they ate and lived together.

This is something no one can compare to.

Xiao Ping'er's face was full of envy, but it was a pity that she was just a little maid at the time, and she was timid and didn't dare to run around.

So naturally there was no chance to save Gu Ke, let alone come to sleep with him.

But envy is envy, not jealousy.

At least she later seized the opportunity to work as his employee, and they could be together in the future.

Xiaoman recalled the initial hard years, muttered a few words, and suddenly realized that something was missing: "Hey, Lao Gu, there is no small oven here? And the calendar is not there?"

Gu Ke knocked on her head: "Your family is building a new house, and everything will be the same as the old house after it is built?"

Xiaoman understood: "So are you moving or buying?"

Gu Ke shook his head regretfully: "The small oven and the calendar are very special, only in Yulong Cave Mansion, here... maybe in the future?"

This is the actual situation.

The second cave and Yulong Cave Mansion are both related to the system, but they are not integrated.

The opening of Yulong Cave Mansion looks like hell, but it is actually a dream.

More than 400 years ago, the God of War Zhao Guangtian used the huge resources of the Great Wu Dynasty to lay an excellent foundation.

The place where the natural earth veins converge, coupled with a very suitable large-scale blood sacrifice array, is the geographical advantage.

The continuous blood sacrifices of the Great Wu Dynasty for more than 400 years are manpower.

Zhao Guangtian's successful promotion to the "power bank" version of the God of War is destiny.

The combination of heaven, earth and man gave Gu Ke an excellent starting place.

This is like a situation in a game where there are no enemies around, no external interference, there are mines inside, and a system cheat is added.

Bihai City started with one pillar, nothing else.

Even this is a normal start.

Fortunately, the totem pole has been passed down from generation to generation in the village, and the worship has not been interrupted for hundreds of years, otherwise the appearance of the second cave house would have been at least a few years or more.

Secondly, the second cave house is similar to the "sub-base" positioning in the game.

Today, with the development of Yulong Cave House, the second cave house does not have to worry about the resources in the initial stage.

If Yulong Cave House upgrades a building at random, it is enough for the second cave house to build all the buildings and upgrade them two or three levels.

The only thing that limits the rapid development of the second cave house is the totem pole as the foundation of the cave house.

Even if Gu Ke wants to throw in a large number of soul sources and materials, it can't bear it.

If the totem pole wants to continue to improve its quality, Bihai City needs to absorb more people and more sincere people.

In addition, Gu Ke and Saranzhu figured out the large-scale blood sacrifice array and found a way to transform and build it, the totem pole can borrow the gathered ground veins and water to increase its own efficiency.

These things cannot be achieved overnight.

Gu Ke is very self-aware. He will not follow the example of some leaders who pretend to know everything and insist on commanding experts.

The principle that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry also applies to urban development.

There are countless negative examples of forcing things to grow and exhausting the pond to catch fish.

The second cave was completed. I asked the three girls, but they were not interested in naming it... No wonder.

Xiao Ping'er was the only one who was not interested.

Xiao Man's literary thoughts were like diabetic insufficiency. She said a lot of names in one breath, but they all included words like chicken, duck, fish, pig, cow and sheep, just like announcing the names of ingredients.

Saranzhu was better, but not much better. There were bears, foxes, wolves, deer, mice, cuckoos, canaries, oaks, maples, willows, pines and poplars.

The more Gu Ke listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He compared it with the skill book of the people in the Far North. He suddenly found that it was the various place names there, but Dawu was generally transliterated.

For example, Fox Company in the previous life was transliterated, and Fox Company was translated.

Even so, Saranzhu's naming "level" is still higher than Xiaoman's.

Thinking of his expectations for this new city, the vast blue sea is its journey, Gu Ke finally named it the Blue Sea.

The second cave also got a new name by the way - the Blue Sea Cave.

With the experience of the Yulong Cave, Saranzhu managed this small cave easily.

After trying for half a day, she imitated Xiao Ping'er's invisibility with her soul source.

Outside the small hut and fairy field of the Blue Sea Cave, the invisible system barrier can not only isolate the breath, but also transform with the surrounding scenery like optical camouflage and blend into it.

Unless someone gets close and tries it, they can detect the existence of the barrier.

However, the two elders who migrated from Liangshan Village and twenty two-wheeled warriors live at the foot of the mountain.

This is not only to show their status, indicating that they are the closest to the ancestors of Shennong, but also to protect the Shennong Pillar to prevent monsters and outsiders from blaspheming and destroying it.
