1105: Funeral system's lucrative jobs. Medal tree

Following the System's prompt, Li Changkong saw that he had 93.7 levels of territory rewards available to claim.

The previous two hundred-plus levels of territory rewards had brought him a partner.

Currently, the cooperation with the other party was still progressing steadily.

It was also during the previous period that Li Changkong, having accumulated his first wealth of black crystal, used those black crystal to rent a signal server from the System.

Now, the server base station was in the final stages of installation.

The server was located between Li Village and Electric Light City.

According to the System, the signal coverage extended across the entire Vog Country, and was even unaffected by any magnetic fields within the Darkness!

Furthermore, this miniature server could support ten thousand telephone devices connected online!

While Li Changkong was preparing on his end, Ning Buxiu was also developing telephones adapted for their World.

According to the latest news from Ning Buxiu, ten thousand telephone devices would be delivered within these next two days!

Having these not-too-many telephones was enough to test the market.

Over the ten-odd days of busyness, he had accumulated another ninety-plus levels of territory rewards.

Regarding this, Li Changkong didn't hesitate too much: "System, claim reward."

Having claimed over two hundred levels of territory rewards in one go, these ninety-plus levels of territory rewards were no longer able to stir much emotional fluctuation in Li Changkong.

Of course, he always maintained a certain level of anticipation for the System's rewards; this had been the case since he obtained the System.

System Space.

After learning that the Host wanted to claim rewards, Ye Tian turned his head to look at the Burial System beside him.

"I'll give you a lucrative job, want it?"

"Beep beep beep!" The Burial System continuously emitted System sounds, and the small light ball constantly swayed up and down, conveying the meaning of nodding.

Being instructed to do something by Ye Tian, this BOSS, and it being a lucrative job, was not easy!

After all, in the past, such tasks were always assigned to Xiao Zao and the prophecy diary.

Fortunately, those two guys now always went on business trips to the Martial Soul World, playing the roles of the prophecy diary and the Prophecy Ball, reaping benefits.

Finally, there was an opportunity for him to take the lead!

"Come in here, how much you can consume depends on your fortune."

Ye Tian somehow produced a very ordinary sapling.

...

Outside.

After Li Changkong finished saying he wanted to claim the reward, he then heard the System's voice.

"Ding ~ Host has claimed 93.7 levels of territory rewards in one go. Congratulations to the Host, you have obtained [Medal Tree]!"

[Medal Tree]: This is a divine tree that can bear fruit and produce medals as long as it has nutrients.

As the System's reward sound fell, Li Changkong then felt his hands sink, and a small tree as tall as a person suddenly appeared in his arms.

"This?"

Looking at the lush, broad-leaved sapling less than two meters tall in his arms, Li Changkong himself didn't quite understand this System reward.

It was a reward for over ninety levels of territory, and it was just a sapling?

Medal Tree...

After looking at the reward again, Li Changkong vaguely felt that this thing might truly have its own value.

Thinking for a moment, A Man brought the sapling into the Village.

The current territory of Li Village, saying it was a Village was already somewhat inappropriate.

Its area, compared to Electric Light City, was more than half!

It was completely equivalent to a small city!

Scattered around, there were also many buildings in the Village illuminated by streetlights, filling the land that looked somewhat empty.

Also because of the expansion of Li Village, the distance between the Village and Electric Light City had been invisibly shortened by quite a bit.

And in such a process of rapid development and growth, Li Changkong also used many land turntables and claimed the turntable rewards.

These turntables mostly brought underground minerals and fertile soil, among other effects.

Even without relying on electrical equipment, Li Village could steadily grow just by relying on the wealth from underground.

Bringing the sapling, Li Changkong came to the core area of Li Village.

After finding a certain plot of land, A Man planted the sapling.

This was a piece of fertile soil.

When the turntable was spun initially, the System's description was that planting a sapling here would greatly increase its survival rate, and its growth speed would also be five times faster!

Since it said this tree could bear fruit as long as it had nutrients, then the nutrients in this fertile soil should be sufficient.

Thinking this, A Man had already planted the small tree.

"Swish swish ~"

The cold wind rustled the leaves as it blew.

Li Changkong fetched a bucket of water and poured it.

Just as he straightened up, A Man heard the sound of the small tree's leaves in front of him becoming clearer.

It was accompanied by the sound of branches growing.

Looking up, the scene before him instantly made Li Changkong's breathing hitch and his eyes widen slightly.

In his field of vision, this small sapling, which was just as tall as a person, after being planted, suddenly entered an incomprehensibly rapid growth state!

Within seconds, the Medal Tree was continuously growing taller.

Two meters, three meters, four meters!

In just a quarter of an hour, a small sapling had surged to a height of four meters as its branches and leaves swayed and grew!

At this point, the sapling's growth paused.

"Swish swish swish ~"

The moment the emerald green leaves swayed and rustled with the cold wind sweeping across the snowy ground, they conveyed waves of coolness and also vibrant vitality.

At this moment, the Medal Tree was like a large tree that had grown for over a decade.

The main trunk was thick enough to require one person to embrace it, and the two streetlights beside it were enveloped by the tree's branches and leaves!

Despite such changes, Li Changkong did not find that this tree had borne fruit.

"Has it not matured enough to bear fruit?"

"Since it hasn't matured, why did it stop growing?"

As he muttered to himself, A Man suddenly looked at the ground at the base of this tree.

He saw.

This piece of fertile soil, which had previously been planted with other trees, at this moment, had lost its original color, leaving only a yellowish-gray soil, indicating the loss of nutrients and only barrenness!

This tree had directly absorbed all the nutrients from the ground!

Without nutrients, this tree also stopped growing.

In other words, currently, it had not reached the point where it could bear fruit and needed more nutrients.

Did he have to dig it up and plant it in another piece of fertile soil?

In Li Changkong's mind, the nutrients required by plants came from underground.

"Digging it up and planting it in the next piece of fertile soil is simply unrealistic. This is an item reward worth over ninety levels of territory; it couldn't be so useless that he couldn't even use it, could it?"

Just as he was feeling frustrated, Li Changkong suddenly noticed the streetlights above his head flickering slightly.

"Bang ~ Bang!"

The two streetlights that were enveloped by the large tree suddenly exploded.

Before Li Changkong could figure out the reason, the four-meter-plus-tall tree in front of him once again began to accelerate its growth!

Five meters, six meters, seven meters...

It grew to over ten meters before the large tree's growth finally slowed down.

"Village Chief, Village Chief, something happened!"

A Villager ran over in a hurry from behind.

However, upon seeing the lush large tree in front, the words the Villager was about to say were suppressed by shock.

"Something happened? What happened?"

Li Changkong asked the person who had arrived in front of him.

The Villager in front of him was one of the original Villagers of Li Village, named Li Dian, and just as his name suggested, he was now the expert in managing and maintaining electrical facilities.

"The meter, the meter is having problems!"

Li Dian managed to suppress the shock brought by the sudden appearance of this large tree, and then said in an anxious tone.

"The meter is having problems? Then go fix it, what's there to report?"

Li Changkong expressed his incomprehension.

"No."

Li Dian shook his head: "The meter suddenly jumped a lot! It shows we just used 10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity!"

"10 million kilowatt-hours of electricity?!"

Li Changkong's voice rose by eight octaves.

"Then it must be broken! How could our Village use that much electricity! Hurry up and fix it!"

After giving the order, Li Changkong subconsciously glanced at the energy storage power station not far away.

Previously, when charging the Man Bull Legion, the System had given him a panel that could display the real-time power consumption of the energy storage power station.

This panel was still there now.

When the electricity displayed on the power station appeared accurately, Li Changkong's heart even skipped a beat!

Just as Li Dian said, under normal circumstances, without using electricity for body tempering and not charging the Man Bull Legion, the average daily power consumption of Li Village was only fifty thousand kilowatt-hours. At this moment, the power consumption had suddenly soared to over ten million!

The meter wasn't broken!

Was his eye broken?!

Thinking of something, Li Changkong suddenly turned his head to look at the Medal Tree beside him.

It was also at this moment that he finally discovered that the wires from the two streetlights that had exploded after being enveloped by the Medal Tree had somehow connected to the tree's trunk!

Visible currents were still continuously pouring into the body of the culprit!

It turned out that after the nutrients in the fertile soil were completely consumed, this tree used this electrical energy as nutrients!

Although the large tree in front appeared to have slowed down its growth, it was only because the speed of supplying electrical energy limited the overall growth.

It was still continuously drawing electrical energy!

He turned his head again to look at the energy storage power station in the distance.

In these few breaths, another thousand-plus kilowatt-hours of electricity had been lost!

A thousand-plus kilowatt-hours of electricity, even according to the System's current 10% discount, would cost 1 gold coin.

The key was, this was only a few breaths of time!

Currently, the total electricity bill consumed by this tree in this short amount of time had directly soared to ten thousand gold coins!

His attention fell on the two wires connected to the Medal Tree, and Li Changkong could still see.

A thick energy was wrapping and protecting the two wires, ensuring that these two wires would not burn out due to excessive electrical load.

"Buzz ~"

Just as Li Changkong was hesitating whether to cut off those two wires, a bright light suddenly appeared on a branch of the Medal Tree hanging in front of him.

And in the next breath.

A fruit slowly grew out!

As the light faded, a simply shaped medal hung on the branch in front of Li Changkong.

[Level 1 Superior Medal]: After wearing the medal, you will possess a superior Aura, and have better control over your subordinates.

Note: Three Level 1 Superior Medals can be synthesized and upgraded to Level 2.

"Is this the fruit of this tree?"

Li Changkong's eyes flickered slightly.

In just this short while, he saw several other medals growing on other branches.

[Level 1 Infrastructure Maniac Medal]: After wearing the medal, you will gain a 5% speed boost and a 3% experience bonus in infrastructure.

Note: Three Level 1 Infrastructure Maniac Medals can be synthesized and upgraded to Level 2.

[Level 1 Gentleman Medal]: A man like jade on the roadside, a Young Master without equal in the world. Wearing this medal, you will gain a gentlemanly temperament.

Note: ...

[Level 1 Combat Medal]...

One by one, the medals, after forming in the state of fruit, shone with large areas of dazzling brilliance!

This scene directly made Li Changkong's breathing stop!

This was the true benefit of this reward!

Various medals, some enhancing temperament, some enhancing strength, and some bestowing transcendent power.

Imagine, if the people in Li Village responsible for infrastructure and electrical facilities were all given the Infrastructure Maniac Medal, the speed of constructing electrical facilities in Li Village could be pushed faster, further, and more completely!

There was also the Combat Medal, this medal born for combat, which could make his Legion's strength soar!

This tree could be called the divine tree of Li Village...

Looking up again at the Medal Tree in front of him, which had already grown to over ten meters and, with its branches spread out, resembled a small mountain, Li Changkong took a deep breath: "Li Dian, connect a few more wires."

Saying this, Li Changkong immediately added: "Later, you go tell Raine and those other Viscounts to slightly adjust the electricity price in Electric Light City by half a copper coin."

Initially, Li Changkong had thought of keeping the electricity price the same as the System's, and with such a fair price, the development of electricity could be rapidly promoted.

But now, besides the Man Bull Legion, the System had also provided such a more ruthless big tree.

There was no other way, to nurture the tree, they could only let the residents of Electric Light City suffer a little.
