159: Chapter 159 Settling in the New Ancient City

The consciousness space had undergone a tremendous transformation at this moment, with clear waters and green mountains... it was as if it were a fairyland on earth.

Just as Mu Cheng was still lost in it, Xiao Yao's voice suddenly came through.

"Master, are you planning to research the Teleportation Talisman Array?"

"Mhm, I don't have a clue yet. Do you have any good ideas?" Mu Cheng was also quite annoyed.

These Teleportation Talisman Arrays were all disposable items. To create one that could be used permanently would indeed require some effort.

Xiao Yao: "As expected, I can't hide anything from Master. A Teleportation Talisman Array doesn't necessarily have to teleport people. You could try combining Creation and the Teleportation Talisman Array."

"High-tech? This... I'll research it!" Mu Cheng suddenly remembered something he'd seen on TV before.

This was indeed somewhat unrealistic, but there was a possibility... after all, things like high-tech bathtubs.

Weren't those even more unrealistic? Yet they truly appeared.

"Master, you could start with the Talisman Array and the device, similar to the principle of the qianji set," Xiao Yao reminded again.

"Mhm, this matter can't be rushed." Mu Cheng began his research.

A full three days passed, and Mu Cheng actually managed to create something. It was a black box high-tech device, not very large.

"This is the best one for now. Each use consumes ten star-glow crystals." Mu Cheng had researched dozens of these.

There were large and small ones. Afterwards, he selected the most convenient and practical one. In less than a few minutes... he had created over twenty of them.

As soon as Mu Cheng stepped out of the room, Tao Mumu directly asked, "Brother Cheng, is the Teleportation Talisman Array issue resolved?"

"Of course it's resolved. I'll trade the item over to you. With this thing... we can conduct remote trades using the high-tech bracelet." Mu Cheng operated his high-tech bracelet, trading the black box over to Tao Mumu.

The high-tech bracelet itself was similar to a game, but over long distances, trading was already impossible.

However, now with Mu Cheng's iron box, ultra-long-distance teleportation was possible, though each use only required consuming ten star-glow crystals.

"Wow! With this thing, won't we take off directly? We can set up an online trading system." Tao Mumu said after studying it a bit.

Gu Na wasn't very interested in this matter. "Next... we should hurry to the Ancient City!"

"Mhm, Nana is right. As for this online trading matter, you handle it as you see fit!" Mu Cheng was a hands-off boss, of course, mainly because he trusted Tao Mumu completely.

"It's decided then. In the future, whoever uses this thing will pay one hundred star-glow crystals. When we promote it, we'll just wait to collect money." Tao Mumu changed her mind at this point.

"Forget it, let's get to the Ancient City first! The plan still needs tweaking."

"As you wish! We'll set off for the Ancient City now. When I have time, I'll help you make more black boxes." Mu Cheng didn't say much more.

However, he could already roughly guess that Tao Mumu planned to set up a trading network, waiting for business to come to her.

"You all go ahead first! I'm going to find Sister Yaoyao and Sister Qingyan." Tao Mumu hurriedly left.

The people from Menglou Pavilion and the Sword Imperial Dynasty soon set off grandly. Along the way, they encountered many Tier 8 Zombies and monsters, but they were easily dealt with.

"Tier 8 monsters have already appeared here. Could it be due to the influence of the Ancient Battlefield?" Gu Na asked, quite shocked.

Normally, forget Tier 8, even Tier 6 weren't very common here.

"This is even better. It won't be so easy to pass through here, which is good for us." Mu Cheng actually wished for it to be this way.

The stronger the monsters and zombies here, the more beneficial it naturally was for Menglou Pavilion's development.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded and also said, "Mhm, what the young master says is correct. The stronger the monsters and zombies, the better it is for us."

These were all abundant resources. Once Menglou Pavilion was stationed in the Ancient City, these resources would be as good as within their grasp.

"Finally caught up with you all." A familiar voice suddenly came through. It was none other than Tao Mumu.

Mu Cheng: "Good that you're back. Next, we need to hurry to the Ancient City."

As planned, the experts from the Sword Dynasty cleared the path in front, while the ladies of Menglou Pavilion and the others closely followed behind.

After about three hours, the group finally arrived at the Ancient City.

It had been completely renewed, no longer dilapidated, and the city walls were now a full three hundred meters high.

And... it was filled with high-tech.

"This is the Ancient City?" Tao Shuishui looked at the scene before her, utterly dumbfounded.

In just three days, all the facilities here could already rival those of Guangshen City. It was simply like magic.

A city appearing out of thin air...

"Of course it is. Don't forget the Su Family's forging skills are number one under heaven. A mere city is nothing." Mu Cheng had actually guessed this long ago.

Though he said this, in reality, he also found it quite hard to believe. Three days.

In just three days, a city was completed.

"You must be City Lord Mu, right? That girl Qingyan asked me to settle you all in." A voice suddenly came.

Soon, a glamorous older sister walked over, wearing black leather clothes, with curly long hair.

She was also holding a hand-rolled cigarette, taking puffs one after another. Everyone was caught off guard.

She came over and flirted with Mu Cheng. "Little brother Mu Cheng... remember to call me Sister Yanyan from now on."

Saying this, she leaned very close to Mu Cheng, blowing a puff of smoke...

"This woman... her strength is terrifyingly at the Ninth Order Peak." Mu Cheng was thoroughly frightened, not even daring to make a sound.

As for the others, it was the same. None dared utter a word, letting the woman act so unrestrained.

The woman suddenly became very serious. "Alright, just teasing you. Remember, from now on, Sister has your back here. If there's anything you can't solve, Sister will help you."

After saying this, she vanished like the wind, coming and going without a trace.

"Sister Yanyan is just like that... please don't... take it to heart." At this moment, a bespectacled girl suddenly stammered.

She had twin tails and wore a big red sweater, looking very nervous.

"You are?" Mu Cheng asked, having regained his composure.

The bespectacled girl hurriedly introduced herself. "Su... Qingyun. Second Sister sent me to assist City Lord Mu. I hope for your guidance in the future."

"Alright! Don't be so shy. Come on, take us to the city lord's mansion." Tao Shuishui came up and grabbed her arm.

Making it seem as if... the relationship between the two was like good sisters.

It truly fit Tao Shuishui's personality, getting along and chatting happily with anyone.

"Ahem~ You don't need to feel pressured. A simple introduction is fine," Mu Cheng coughed and spoke.

Clearly, he could also tell that this Su Qingyun before him was very introverted.

"Follow me!" Su Qingyun pushed Tao Shuishui away somewhat and, very nervously, led the way in front.
