casket of old days

Chapter 570 Night City

After a while, Chu Qiguang and his party came to a living corpse more than three meters high.

The skin of this living corpse is black and white, with black lines on the white skin.

The muscles and muscles are as sharp as marble, full of strength.

70.00% of the body is covered with a layer of black bone armor, exuding a metallic luster.

Long bone spurs protruded from the corpse's back and elbows, shining coldly.

Li Yaofeng introduced: "This is the living corpse that our workshop is going to transform. The goal is to carry 12 martial arts, so it is made into a human form."

"For the limbs, abdomen, back, and head, we intend to imitate some body structures of different monsters to enhance combat capabilities."

"According to what you said, a cavity is designed inside, which is intended to be manipulated by the driver..."

Speaking of this, Li Yaofeng wondered: "Speaking of which, why do you have to let someone manipulate it?"

Chu Qiguang said: "The farmers and laborers in the past have more than enough for work."

"The newly designed living corpses are specially designed for fighting."

"Under the ever-changing combat environment, the original simple command mode can no longer effectively respond."

"After all, we don't have AI yet..."

Li Yaofeng was slightly taken aback: "Hey what?"

Chu Qiguang explained: "The living corpse has no self-awareness, and there must be someone who is good at combat to perform real-time operations."

"Otherwise, you will just follow simple orders straight forward, and you will not be able to cope with various changing battle situations. No matter how strong your strength is, you will not be able to exert it."

"And this version of the living corpse, my ultimate goal is to reach the output of the fifth level. The cost of each one is very high, and it cannot be used as cannon fodder."

Li Yaofeng shrugged. He was not interested in how Chu Qiguang used these living corpses. Anyway, his purpose was to use Chu Qiguang's resources to complete his own research and cultivation.

These days, studying the blood pool, controlling monsters, transforming monsters, and dissecting monsters every day makes Li Yaofeng feel that she is constantly growing.

"correct."

Before leaving, Chu Qiguang said: "Let's make a batch of weakened versions, or upgraded versions of laborers, and keep the strength at the third to fourth level."

Li Yaofeng frowned and said, "Why? What's the point of something so weak?"

Chu Qiguang snorted, and said lightly: "Do you know how much money the Blood Pond Workshop in the entire Lan River Valley costs me every day?"

"Every piece of meat and every drop of blood that you have created from the blood pool here is fed by me with silver."

"You can't just lose money and not make money all the time."

"In the future, every workshop must design products, manufacture products, and turn losses into profits. Don't just ask for money."

……

Yong'an 19th year, early August.

Shuzhou, on a barren hill outside Jinrong Mansion.

The mountain road that was covered with weeds has been cleaned up and covered with a layer of cement.

The originally deserted temple has been transformed into the entrance of Night City.

Ning Kun came here with a team, and said in surprise: "How did this barren mountain change into this?"

Since Ning Kun joined the Bashu Chamber of Commerce and became one of the caravan captains, he has been in charge of delivering goods near Jinrong Mansion.

He came here today on the recommendation of a friend, and was surprised when he went up the mountain.

And when he stood in front of the gate of the Buddhist world and watched the crowds coming in and out, he was even more surprised.

"There are monsters?"

He saw a cat demon who ran out from the gate of the Buddhist realm and disappeared into the grass in the blink of an eye.

The friend on the side said: "Don't make a fuss, there are no monsters in Night City, so don't attack monsters, or you will suffer."

Ning Kun lined up with his friends and stepped into the gate of the Buddhist world.

As soon as you enter the Buddhist realm, your eyes instantly change from day to night.

As far as the eye can see, there are shops, restaurants, small stalls with flashing lights everywhere, as well as shouting vendors, and monsters mixed in the crowd.

Although Ning Kun could feel that almost all the humans around were hostile to the monsters, the monsters rarely paid attention to humans, and often looked at people with a faint killing intent.

There was a strong sense of threat between the two parties, but it seemed that a pair of invisible hands were pressing on them, making them afraid to draw their swords at each other.

Ning Kun looked at this scene in shock: "Here..."

The friend on the side smiled: "This is Night City. I heard that it was rebuilt by people from the former Buddhist sect. There are many good things for sale."

"At first, it was discovered by a few people from the rivers and lakes. Later, it spread more and more widely, and many people from around Jinrong City came."

"Mainly because there are a lot of good things for sale here."

"Didn't you feel that the road is not smooth recently, do you want to buy some weapons for self-defense?"

Ning Kun followed the other party on the main road of Night City. After a close observation, he found that the area where the fire was shining was not large, only the size of a small town.

It's just that the town is full of shops and restaurants, and there are no residential houses at all.

The place farther away is hidden in the thick darkness, and it seems that there are many tall buildings that can be vaguely seen.

The friend pulled Ning Kun's arm and pointed to several living corpses standing at the border: "Don't go there, we can only move around where there is fire, and we will be beaten by these guards if we go out."

Ning Kun followed his friend to a shop curiously, only to find that someone was already waiting here.

He vaguely recognized the identities of several of them, all of them were stewards and servants of some big families in Jinrong Mansion.

Just when Ning Kun wondered what they were waiting for, more than a dozen giants over five meters tall walked out slowly.

Seeing these huge giants with ferocious faces, Ning Kun was startled and almost turned around and ran away.

But he was grabbed by a friend at the side.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Kun was shocked to find that people around were all snapping up these giants at high prices, and even some monsters who obviously came from the snow-capped mountains joined them...

……

in the cave.

Chu Qiguang was praying silently towards the statue of Daoist Xuanyuan in front of him, and the power of faith kept pouring into the bones of unbelief in his body as he prayed.

Chen Gang on the side is reporting to him: "...the original design of Night City still has some problems. After all, there are still great conflicts between monsters, especially many monsters escaped from the snow-capped mountains, and they hate the people of Shuzhou. Deeper."

"Even though we were watching, there were several clashes."

"Later, we divided the areas for humans and demons, and the conflict was finally reduced."

Chu Qiguang nodded when he heard the words: "It is true that I was negligent and underestimated the conflicts between the local monsters. Where is the product? How is it selling?"

Chen Gang said: "It's very popular. The number of farmers in the store is now under pressure. Tens are released every half a month. Now each one has sold for thousands of taels."

"However, they have very high requirements for the congestion of living corpses. Some hope that we can set up more blood pools around Jinrong Mansion, and some hope that we can build them in their homes."

"The name of Night City has also gradually spread from Jinrong Mansion. Some big families want to suppress the news, but with our help, they can't stop it at all."

Chu Qiguang asked: "Where are you using your brain?"

Chen Gang said: "The Bai family in Jinrong Mansion tried to grab something, but was directly shot to death by Hercules. Since then, no one has dared to act recklessly."

"There are still a few people who secretly followed us, and they were all taken down by Zhenmensi."

"Some extreme natives also want to buy living corpses, sell them?"

Chu Qiguang smiled: "Why not sell it? Not only the farmers want to sell it, but all the living corpses that will be sold in the future can be sold to them."

"But you have to remember, it is Night City who sells the blood machine, and it must not have anything to do with us."

Chen Gang nodded to express his understanding, but his heart was also turbulent.As far as he knew, the number of living corpses produced by the Blood Pool Workshop was increasing crazily every day.

Now that City of Night is still testing the waters, once all the living corpses are sold out, what will happen to the entire Shuzhou?He is really a bit unimaginable.

Chu Qiguang ordered again: "You and others get ready, the second phase of Night City can begin."

His eyes flickered slightly, as if the flames of Buddha were surging.

Now the efficiency of his subordinates collecting knowledge is getting lower and lower, and he has a lot of things to do every day.

In order to be able to quickly practice "Dragon and Elephant Great Freedom", Chu Qiguang plans to start gathering people in Night City to collect Buddha fire for him to extract the knowledge of the Buddhas.

As he said that, Chu Qiguang looked at several monks beside him, and asked, "Please tell me about the underground situation in detail."
