195: My little day is here again.
Phoenix Flying Phoenix knew that Huang Chen must have seen her performance just now.
The four words Fengling Plateau were simply too shocking for her.
The clan's ancient scrolls had records of the Fengling Plateau.
Among the high-martial clans that had obtained the Fengling Plateau in previous trials, over 50% of the clans they assisted secured first place in the trials; at worst, they placed second or third.
However, the ancient scrolls contained very little descriptive information about the Fengling Plateau, only a short fifteen-character phrase: 'A million li west of Jinling, he who obtains the Mirror Shadow Tower obtains the world!'
Originally, Phoenix Flying Phoenix had planned to wait until the clan members generally reached level 100 before leading a team to search for the Fengling Plateau, thereby increasing their bargaining chip within the clans they assisted.
After all, to construct a city in a territory infested with level 90 monsters, one must first possess the ability to withstand sieges from level 100 Diamond monsters, or even Epic monsters.
Otherwise, if the city couldn't be defended, all efforts would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Phoenix Flying Phoenix looked up at Huang Chen, muttering inwardly: 'Does he already have the ability to take on level 100 Epic monsters?'
One must know that after level 50, the strength of monsters differs vastly with almost every ten levels.
Huang Chen might be able to conquer an 80-level Pseudo-God Boss, but he might not be able to deal with a 100-level Epic Boss.
Moreover, a single defensive line of a city often spans hundreds of kilometers; even if Huang Chen could defend one side, what about the other directions?
Monster sieges come from all directions.
According to the current strength of Trial Takers, even with a level 50 Diamond set, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from an ordinary level 100 Epic monster.
After an internal struggle, Phoenix Flying Phoenix finally sighed and looked up at Huang Chen, saying, "Chairman Huang, you want to conquer the Fengling Plateau now, I'm afraid... it's too early!"
"Chairman Huang might be able to withstand the assault of level 100 Epic monsters or even Bosses, but I don't believe that the current Forbidden City can withstand it."
"In fact, even if Chairman Huang poured all the power of Huaxia, plus our Vermilion Bird Clan and Hobbit Clan, it still wouldn't be enough."
Huang Chen hadn't considered that building a city would mean facing such high-level monsters.
However, he wasn't disheartened; instead, he showed an excited expression.
Whether he could conquer it now was secondary; the important thing was to determine the location first, and then it wouldn't be too late to go when he had the strength to conquer it.
He remembered that in his previous life, the high-martial clans that conquered the Fengling Plateau did so when Trial Takers generally reached level 100.
So, he wasn't too anxious about building a city at the moment.
As long as he determined the location, he believed that no one in this current Star Abyss could achieve the strength to conquer the Fengling Plateau faster than him.
The Fengling Plateau held extraordinary significance.
Its strategic importance wasn't just limited to the Mirror Shadow Tower, which could rapidly enhance one's strength.
If you could build a city with the Mirror Shadow Tower as its core, it would become the only communication window for billions of clans before the final grand map integration of Star Abyss.
After the city's construction is complete, the city's teleportation array can be chosen to be open to all clans.
This means that before the grand map integration, Trial Takers from all clans can enter the city from their respective Fengling Plateaus.
However, Trial Takers who are not from the city's original region cannot leave the city gates.
One can imagine how prosperous that place would become then.
"Clan Leader Feng, I don't want to conquer the Fengling Plateau right now."
Huang Chen said directly, "I just want to determine the location first. Once the location is confirmed, I believe no one in Star Abyss will be able to gain the strength to conquer it faster than me."
Hearing Huang Chen's words, a hint of struggle flashed in Phoenix Flying Phoenix's eyes.
Huang Chen already knew about the Fengling Plateau; even if she didn't say anything, she believed he would find it before she reached level 100.
In that case, it would be better to directly do him a favor.
Perhaps, in the future, the Vermilion Bird Clan could also get a share on the Fengling Plateau.
Thinking of this, Phoenix Flying Phoenix no longer hesitated and said directly, "A million li west of Jinling City! That's all I know."
"A million li west?" Huang Chen was startled by the number, "Can the direction be more specific?"
How far is a million li?
Converted, it's 500,000 kilometers, which is 12.5 times the circumference of the equator.
If you deviate even slightly when starting, even by just 1 degree, you'll be miles off target.
Phoenix Flying Phoenix shook her head and said, "The ancient scrolls only record this much."
"Is that so!"
Huang Chen lowered his head and pondered. 500,000 kilometers, at his clone's flying speed of 90% of his main body's speed, which is 720 meters/second, even if the direction was correct, it would take at least 8 days of non-stop travel to arrive.
However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If he didn't go out and search, he probably wouldn't figure anything out even if he thought about it for another ten years.
"Go!"
With a thought from Huang Chen, his clone appeared beside the three of them, then ascended into the sky and transformed into a meteor, disappearing before their eyes.
"This..."
Phoenix Flying Phoenix and Bernal were so astonished their mouths hung open.
They knew that Huang Chen could summon a clone to participate in battle.
However, generally, a clone cannot stray too far from the main body and has a limited duration.
Yet, Huang Chen seemed to want his clone to directly search for the Fengling Plateau.
Could it be that this clone of his... can ignore the limitations of space and time?
If so, their assessment of Huang Chen's strength would have to be elevated another notch.
Subsequently, the three continued to negotiate the garrison matters in more detail.
The final outcome was that for every ten thousand troops garrisoned by the Vermilion Bird Clan, Forbidden City would provide them with 10 sets of level 50 Diamond equipment and 100 sets of level 50 Dark Gold equipment, and additionally, Forbidden City would pay each person one gold coin per day as military pay.
For every ten thousand troops garrisoned by the Hobbit Clan, Forbidden City would provide 10 sets of level 45 Diamond equipment and 100 sets of level 45 Dark Gold equipment, and each person would also receive one gold coin per day as military pay.
During the garrison period, both clans would need to provide paid leveling assistance quests to Huaxia's Trial Takers who had not yet reached level 50.
Of course, the fee would only be a friendly price; from level 45 to level 50, the cost for power leveling would only be 5 gold coins.
After this matter was settled, Huang Chen instantly teleported to Mie Wo City.
He stood on the city gate, his gaze deep as he surveyed the surroundings.
Generally, the distance between two Satellite Cities would not exceed one thousand kilometers.
At his speed, it would take 20 minutes to reach.
However, the same problem remained: the specific direction was unclear, so it might take more time to find it.
Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well take a good tour of this land of cherry blossoms.
Thinking this, Huang Chen soared into the sky, picked a random direction, and sped off.
Huang Chen flew for about 22 minutes, estimating a distance of about 1100 kilometers from Mie Wo City.
However, what lay before him was still a vast wilderness, with no sign of any city.
But this couldn't stump Huang Chen, the sports student.
He directly drew a circle with Mie Wo City's gate as the center and 1100 kilometers as the radius.
He then set off again, circling along the circumference.
Finally, after about another ten minutes, a magnificent Satellite City appeared in Huang Chen's sight.
Flying closer, he saw that the city was exceptionally prosperous, with people bustling in the streets, and teams constantly shouting as they entered buildings without protective shields.
Seeing this, Huang Chen chuckled, "little japanese, I'm back again, are your teachers... ready?"
