Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1769: Chapter 1772: Dao?

Wang Jiuhai was stunned at the spiritual stone ore vein that appeared before him.

Hu Nanshan was also dumbfounded.

Every cultivator in this vein exploration team was stupefied!

Spirit stone ore vein!

What is this?

This is money, this is resources!

This is no different from ordinary people discovering a gold mine!

They looked at the spiritual stone ore vein, then at the iron lump above their heads which they had just despised, and at Xiao Qi operating the iron lump, each displaying a wild expression.

Especially Wang Jiuhai, who immediately rushed forward, shouting at Xiao Qi: ”Dad! From now on, you’re my real dad!”

Seeing the discovery of the ore vein, a hint of a smile appeared on Xiao Qi’s wooden face. However, upon hearing Wang Jiuhai’s words, he shook his head and said, ”Just a joke.”

”No, no, no! A true man keeps his word. I said you’re my dad, you are my dad!” Wang Jiuhai declared resolutely.

At this moment, he had come to realize that Lord Lu’s underlings are all talents!

If they could detect something like an ore vein with this iron lump, then the benefits are bound to be plentiful!

As he was pondering this, he saw a cultivator curiously reaching out to touch the iron lump.

Suddenly, Wang Jiuhai rushed over and kicked: ”What are you doing? Don’t you know what handling with care means? You can’t just touch this thing as you please!”

The cultivator was kicked away but wasn’t angry; he simply chuckled and said, ”I’m just curious, curious!”

”Alright, someone go notify the strategy team, and then let’s continue,” Xiao Qi waved his hand and spoke.

”Alright, alright!”

The people who had complaints before were now all extremely enthusiastic!

They saw the benefits!

...

A week passed.

After Lu Xiaobu decided on a direction, the strategy team’s approach stopped wavering, focusing on large-scale, universal application and speed for development.

The researchers on Blood Continent also made adjustments accordingly.

Soon, low-altitude levitating high-speed trains, combining flying boat technology and electromagnetic technology, emerged one after another in the Southwest Huludao.

These products are similar to, but superior to, high-speed trains, and their speed is not fast for cultivators, only half the speed of sound.

Any cultivator who can ride a sword can basically achieve this speed.

In fact, to put it bluntly, in terms of speed, this thing is still inferior to flying boats!

However, they can also feel the benefits of this thing.

The biggest advantage is that it no longer requires cultivators to operate it specially.

Ordinary people can operate it.

This means that from now on, mineral transportation doesn’t have to rely on cultivators for round trips; a few ordinary people can transport various minerals in large quantities.

For cultivators, this is definitely an eye-opening benefit!

But for ordinary people, it’s a completely different experience!

These ordinary people began traveling long distances for the first time, realizing that their world wasn’t just the fields before their eyes.

Some emerging products, like soap, which were originally just appearing near Gourd Waist, began spreading throughout the Southwest Huludao with the arrival of the cultivator high-speed train.

They began to gradually experience a different life.

There are so many things to eat, they can be so clean, they can live better!

And spreading with these feelings is the name of one person.

Lu Xiaobu!

Originally, the world was dim to them; as long as they were not born with a spirit root and could not become cultivators, they did not care who the city lord was.

Does being governed by this cultivator make a difference compared to that cultivator?

No, at least for them, it doesn’t.

However!

This time it did; they found life began to change, little by little, getting better and better.

And the reason for everything was because of that ruler named Lu Xiaobu.

This ruler did not see them as pigs, horses, cattle, or sheep like others did; instead, he started having their lives change.

Many began placing various types of offering plaques in their homes, burning incense and praying every morning and evening.

They believe that Lord Lu is different from others.

As a result, momentarily, throughout the Southwest Huludao, Lu Xiaobu began to have a subtle feeling of being deified.

And these feelings actually fed back to Lu Xiaobu.

The most noticeable feedback is that the barrier of the Nascent Soul Stage he couldn’t break through started loosening!

This astounded Lu Xiaobu.

So he went to the Blood Continent to have the researchers give him a full-body examination.

After the examination was complete, Xiao Zhi came over.

Frowning and pondering, he cautiously responded, ”Xiaobu bro, we have some guesses about your situation, but can’t be sure.”

Since the last blow in the Spiritual Pressure Room, he’s become much more composed, no longer claiming invincibility or certainty casually.

”The first guess is because of the Blood Continent, where there’s also a core. Perhaps this core gave you some feedback.”

”The second guess is like the power of incense; these people pray daily, and the incense power provides feedback to you.”

”The third guess, which is my preferred one, is the connection with the core you mentioned before!”

”Connection?” Lu Xiaobu was taken aback.

He still remembered it was his cheap mentor who had told him those mysterious things.

Later, he sent these to the Blood Continent for them to try summing up the research.

”Yes, we are not sure, but the meaning of Master Yang’s expression is likely this.” Xiao Zhi nodded and continued.

”The core certainly enhances the most direct connection with this world, but it’s not the only way.”

”If this world is akin to a body, then the core is equivalent to the brain; direct contact with the brain is certainly the fastest, but contacting the body isn’t impossible!”

”Contacting the body, this connection can still be fed back to the brain through some channel, thus strengthening it manifestly!”

”And in the body of this world, the most active and thoughtful beings are humans.”

”So, as many humans born in this world begin to worship and genuinely believe in Xiaobu bro, the connection will gradually increase, thus feeding back to the core, then to Xiaobu bro, causing the barrier to start breaking down slowly!”

”Of course, this explanation hasn’t been confirmed yet and requires a lot of data; it could also be a combination of the first and second guesses.”

Xiao Zhi explained.

Lu Xiaobu nodded; this time, Xiao Zhi’s explanation made sense!

Combined with the countless novels he’s read.

The mysterious Dao?!

King’s path? Emperor’s path?

Interesting!
