168: Hidden undercurrents

Spirit Beasts can indeed fight side by side with humans.

And the actual combat power will be 1+1 > 2!

The letter from the future was not without merit.

"Xiaoyu, take this fellow out to look around when you have time; there might be horse herds out there,"

Ye Su said;

"Don't be afraid of going far; it's worth it even if you have to go to the plateaus."

It wasn't that Ye Su was trying to turn back the clock on history.

It was because a cavalry regiment really made sense.

Individual combat power is important.

But once the number of Professionals increases,

these large-scale group Formations would be just as meaningful.

Didn't the Zerg Swarm lack combat power when they couldn't be perfectly controlled?

But once the Zerg Swarm could truly be controlled,

they would be invincible unless faced with human-wave tactics like those of the Sea Race.

Humans should also have such means; otherwise, when facing enemy human-wave tactics, small-team mode Professionals would suffer greatly.

After all, so far, humans haven't found a real way to counter the Sea Monster tide.

mushrooms...

mushrooms will eventually exit the stage, won't they?

After they exit, new power is needed to fill the void.

"Okay."

Mo Xiaoyu replied.

Just now, the Aura of the Precious Horse suddenly surged, which startled Mo Xiaoyu.

Her first impression was also of cavalry.

A cavalry unit composed entirely of Professionals and Spirit Beasts with Qi and Blood Power would be too dreamlike.

"You can mention this situation to Li Qing," Ye Su said;

"Have him start a project; we need to explore more of this... well... combined combat between Spirit Beasts and humans."

"Spirit Beasts? That's quite an apt name. I'll tell Li Qing later."

Mo Xiaoyu said.

"Alright, then let's go to the Suzhou and Hangzhou wall and take a look."

Ye Su said.

Suzhou and Hangzhou was building a Suzhou and Hangzhou; this project would not stop.

After receiving the letter from the spring equinox, Ye Su was even less likely to stop this project.

Because the letter from the future rarely mentioned Formations.

In the future, there might be a solar term related to Formations.

Suzhou and Hangzhou walls combined with Formations would become the mainstream.

Arriving at the bustling construction site,

the speed of Suzhou and Hangzhou building was indeed not slow.

There was a massive amount of labor gathered here.

With the support of large machinery and various technical means, everything that could be used was being utilized.

Besides bricks and stones, there were also Materials like alloys.

What they wanted was sturdiness.

Shortly after the two arrived, Zhuge Hu showed up.

After all, this was Ye Su's first inspection of these things; Zhuge Hu would definitely come over.

Although Mo Xiaoyu often supervised the work, there were still many things she didn't know as accurately as Zhuge Hu.

"Captain Ye," Zhuge Hu greeted.

Ye Su glanced at him and said;

"Explain it, well, from an economic perspective."

Cutting corners on this Suzhou and Hangzhou wall was impossible.

After all, it concerned everyone's lives; even if the higher-ups wanted to cut corners, the workers wouldn't agree.

As ordinary people, they relied on the Suzhou and Hangzhou walls even more than Professionals.

"The economy is circulating, and no major problems have arisen so far,"

Zhuge Hu said;

"Furthermore, I am gradually increasing the workers' wages and gradually lowering the price of potions in the shops."

"After all, during the Awakening of Insects solar term, there were too many corpses of great demons and insects. number 2 potions are almost filling up the warehouse. Selling them, besides allowing the workers' children to reach the Awakening stage faster, also allows the workers themselves to strengthen their Physique and stamina."

This could be considered a form of macro-control.

Potions have no meaning sitting in a warehouse; they only have meaning when sold and used on people.

"Right now, the most expensive things are profession scrolls and Skills, right?"

Ye Su said.

There were many treasure chests during the Awakening of Insects, but with the arrival of the spring equinox, treasure chests no longer fell from the sky.

Consequently,

their scarcity became apparent, and a price hike was almost inevitable.

"Yes, there's no way around it. This solar term doesn't seem to produce any treasure chests."

"Even the ones that previously erupted from the underground volcanoes are gone."

"What is the total number of Professionals in Suzhou and Hangzhou currently?"

"340,000!"

This was a staggering number!

Based on this proportion, there would be several million nationwide.

With such a large number, scrolls and Skills must be reaching depletion.

With tens of millions of treasure chests from the Awakening of Insects plus those that unexpectedly erupted from underground,

the domestic supply of scrolls and Skills was definitely insufficient.

"Then do we have imported scrolls and Skills?"

During this period, trade routes were gradually being accepted by various countries.

Trade was still occurring between nations.

"Yes,"

Zhuge Hu said;

"Whatever the case, these things are strategic resources. We started acquiring them during the Awakening of Insects."

"However, sea transport is gone, so we can only acquire them from neighboring countries."

"But facing so many of our Professionals, it's still barely enough."

This is troublesome.

There won't be any more treasure chests in the future.

What should the future Professionals do then!

One can only hope that the Research Institute can replicate Martial Arts.

"Open up more exploration missions,"

Ye Su said;

"Get the Professional teams moving so they can afford to buy more potions."

"During this solar term, we must raise all their strength."

Zhuge Hu nodded in agreement.

During this developmental solar term, they had to let Great Xia make a push.

But potions couldn't be handed out for free, so they could only open exploration missions.

"Tomorrow, the top Professional experts from across the country will be coming. You should come and listen occasionally," Ye Su said;

"We will conduct a systematic customization and discussion regarding Professional Martial Arts and its various stages."

"At the same time, there will be a wave of corrections to the textbooks."

"Streamline Realm is not the end, and the Second Stage is not the end either."

"The path of a Professional is very, very long."

"Understood."

Zhuge Hu replied.

He was in charge of logistics and Suzhou and Hangzhou development direction.

But his Realm couldn't lag too far behind.

Otherwise, a manager with a weak Realm would face many inconveniences.

Since Ye Su was a hands-off boss and relied on him to manage everything, it was clearly inappropriate.

"Alright, go on with your work,"

Ye Su said.

Then he took Mo Xiaoyu outside the Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In the past, there were always some small beasts of the Yao Race or hidden predators of the Zerg Swarm outside the Suzhou and Hangzhou.

These were difficult to clear out completely.

But now, these things seemed to have vanished overnight.

It was as if the Yao Race and Zerg Swarm didn't exist at all.

It should be an issue with this solar term.

Everyone was busy developing.

There wasn't much bestiality or bloodlust at all.

"I feel like the Spiritual Qi concentration outside is higher,"

Mo Xiaoyu said.

She could still sense all of this.

However, Ye Su cared more about the ground.

He squatted down and dug up some soil.

In the moist soil, there was a faint, almost imperceptible black qi drifting.

Ye Su frowned.

The swallowing heaven blade materialized and was thrust directly into the ground.

Devour!

Sure enough.

Wisps of Soul Aura were being drawn up.

black qi permeated the ground.

Or rather,

the black qi was gradually spreading and pervading the entire world, just like Spiritual Qi.

Eventful times.

Even during a developmental solar term, there were clues of a crisis about to erupt in the next solar term.

You should know, the next solar term is Tomb Sweeping Day!

Tomb Sweeping Day.

Soul!

This association made one feel apprehensive!

[No more missing chapters.] [Let's develop for a bit; Tomb Sweeping Day will introduce a new power System, not a sequence.]
