The Dean Has Arrived
Main Text Chapter 148: Preliminary Improvement of Sky Island (1)
In the end, Xi Wei had to hear from those who transported stone and wood to see if he could send the person in charge of business in their shop over, and then discussed about purchasing an additional batch of iron ingots near the floating island.
This time, it was the man from yesterday who delivered the goods. After chatting with Xi Wei for a while, he said that he could try to ask Xi Wei, but he couldn't guarantee the success.
"After all, the thoughts of those noble lords are not something we common people can guess." The man said with a wry smile.
Even though his hard work and his smooth and sophisticated way of doing things made him favored by the upper echelons of the chamber of commerce, it did not mean that he had already entered the upper class.
For those large chambers of commerce that have monopolized some resource sales rights in various ways, 90% of their upper echelons are big nobles with a complex network of relationships.
No matter how well a commoner does, he is nothing more than a commoner from beginning to end. Even if he has made a huge family fortune, ordinary nobles can wipe it out with just a tick of their fingers. Therefore, it is basically impossible for a commoner to be in the chamber of commerce. In the upper class, someone who can talk like a man is considered pretty good...
And this kind of aristocrat might not have any interest in selling some stone, wood and iron ingots. It is estimated that the best result is to let some of his men come to discuss with Xi Wei.
"Well, I'll trouble you then." Xi Wei didn't force it, but then he said to the man as if he remembered something: "By the way, if your chamber of commerce is not interested in this deal, you can go to Luo Lan Auction House. Ask them to buy a batch of iron ingots for me. You should just report me Alphonse Edric’s name.”
After all, the other party showed his favor to him yesterday, so it doesn't matter if he makes a harmless request at a time like this, and it doesn't matter if he sells his favor to them. Anyway, Xi Wei also has a lot of unused white common-grade equipment in his hands, and they will be sold at that auction house at that time, so it shouldn't matter if they have a long reputation.
The man dubiously agreed, and then left here with the convoy.
This time the convoy only transported about one-third of it, and another batch was needed to deliver all the stone and wood that Xi Wei had ordered. And the man probably planned to take advantage of this stall to go to the store of the Chamber of Commerce in the city and discuss with the people inside.
After waiting for them to go far, Xi Wei put the pile of stones and wood into the storage box and took them to the floating island.
Although the air corridor has been almost built, there are still many places that need to use stone and wood.
For example, many places need to be resurfaced with stone floors. Before the iron ingots came, some underground pits that were still being excavated also needed to use wood to build a load-bearing frame like the mines on the earth.
After piling up the materials in the old place, Xi Wei walked into one of the huge potholes, and frowned as he watched the dust falling from the top of his head from time to time.
In addition to the need to build a load-bearing frame for mines on the earth. Concrete must also be poured to improve the collapse resistance of the pits. Even so, there will still be news of mines collapsing from time to time. And although there are alchemy products similar to concrete in this world, the price of those products is not cheap, and the output is not high.
After all, in a world dominated by magic, the role of concrete is really weak. Even if concrete is really produced, it may not be able to withstand the impact of ordinary second-level magic.
But what Xi Wei established is no matter what an academy, and it would be ridiculous and generous if the safety of the mines on the earth could not be compared.
"I remember that cement seems to be made of limestone, clay and gypsum..." Xi Wei muttered to himself.
Of course, as I said just now, cement is not suitable for this world. What he wants to do now is to build the place where the mystery originated. Improve your own alchemy level to improve the original earth's cement to make stronger concrete.
But now is not the time to mess with cement. Xi Wei put this thought aside, and walked quickly into the depths of the pothole.
Leprechauns seem to have the ability to see at night, even if there is no light source, their vision will not be affected much. Probably because of this, they are shy by nature and like to come and go in the dead of night.
But Xi Wei couldn't do it, at least for now, he didn't have his own night vision function.
Summoning a whirling flame arrow to float beside him, he was able to move forward without hitting the wall.
This is the underground of the main island, and the tunnels are winding. The total length of Xi Wei's journey has been nearly three kilometers. But it's a pity that Xi Wei still didn't see the end of the tunnel, but ran into a leprechaun halfway.
Xi Wei recruited a total of five leprechauns with his recruitment coupons, but the one he was most familiar with was Woda, and the other few hadn't spoken to him much, so Xi Wei was stunned when he saw each other before asking Said: "How is the progress of the project now?"
"It's not going well. Mr. Master." The leprechaun wearing a bowler hat that looked like a miniature version took off his hat and hugged it to his chest. The expression on his face profoundly interpreted the word frown: "Three places have collapsed There are still many places where the walls and ceilings are not stable, and Voda was buried by the sand that fell from the top when it collapsed once, obviously the rabbi reminded him that he can't dig there!"
"That's it."
Xi Wei sighed, and couldn't help scratching his forehead in distress.
If this continues, it seems that even if you continue to dig, it will be useless and just a waste of time.
After thinking about it for a while, Xi Wei told the little leprechaun who was still nagging, "Forget it, let's wait until the iron ingots arrive. Go and get everyone else to gather up there." .”
"I understand, Mr. Master." The little leprechaun bowed to Xi Wei and disappeared with a puff.
Xi Wei turned around and put himself on a magic ring of wind element that could speed up, and then started to walk back.
After he returned to the ground, those little goblins had already obediently lined up there waiting for him.
Xi Wei handed them the two achievement building blueprints he bought in the Achievement Store when he was on his way, and asked, "How long will it take for you to help build these two?"
The two achievement buildings are [Fountain of Sacred Chant] and [Holy Stone of Homecoming].
The former is a large fountain that can automatically generate water sources, and the water inside also has blessing, purification and healing effects, but the effects will disappear after leaving the fountain platform for five minutes. Even so, this building is a good building in terms of beauty and practicality.
The latter is a huge piece of jade, and it has only one effect, which is to be able to purchase and bind the homeward crystal in reality instead of dungeons. Although from the description, the return crystal is very expensive, and the cooling time is as long as three days after using it once, but Xi Wei, who saved his life countless times in the dungeon by activating the return crystal in time, knows very well that with such a point The price is the absolute value of a chance of survival!
To put it simply, these two are the fountain and the city return stone that can bring people back to the city. After two drawings, it turned into pitiful single digits again...
However, achievement buildings do not require additional construction resources, and both of them have an irreplaceable role, which makes Xi Wei feel that it is not a loss for him to spend some achievement points.
A few leprechauns looked at the architectural drawings, and then looked at each other for a while, before Voda said to Xi Wei: "My lord, these two buildings are not too difficult. If we do it together, we only need three at most." It will be done in an hour."
"So fast?" Xi Wei was taken aback. Before he thought about it, it took more than ten hours just to renovate the room. Now it will definitely take a lot of time to put these two buildings together, but he didn't expect Unexpectedly fast...
"Because they are all small buildings, and there is no need to waste time processing materials, they can be built faster." Woda explained to Xi Wei.
Xi Wei did the math. In three hours, the convoy must still be on the way. And even if there is no iron ingot, it is useless.
In addition to the fountain and the city return stone, the achievement building in his hand now also has a mysterious birthplace, a star pulse furnace and a magic energy engine. The latter two are the core parts of the Sky Academy. Being underground is more reassuring. Therefore, it is not possible to start building now.
After thinking about it for a while, Xi Wei immediately made a decision.
"Woda, you and your partners will divide the work. Some will build these two buildings, others will dig river channels on the island, and the last part will help me build other things."
"Dig the river channel?" The little leprechaun tilted his head in confusion.
"There is no river on the floating island. We don't have to worry about the water source after the holy spring of chant is built. We can divert the water inside to form a small river. I just saw a fish farm behind the castle. Small ponds can also be connected in series, and anyway, there are a lot of stones, and water channels can be connected under the air corridor to form a huge water system between the islands. The water should be drained off the island."
Xi Wei explained to the leprechaun.
He built the fountain not just for the beauty and the effect of the fountain water. As long as the river can be built, the construction conditions of some special buildings such as the Forbidden Forest and the Water Beast Lair can also be met.
"Then what else is there to build?" the Leprechaun asked again.
Xi Wei didn't answer, but just handed it the construction blueprint of the [Mysterious Origin].
"Understood, leave it to us!" After looking carefully several times, the little leprechaun immediately patted his chest and assured Xi Wei: "We can finish everything in five hours at most!" (To be continued ..)
