Initial Thoughts on Building a Technology Empire

Because of Fa Hai, Green Mountain Town was now completely under Ye Qiu's control. Now that he had Jia Xingtian's promise as well, he had no worries left behind.

Thus, Ye Qiu decided to properly renovate Green Mountain Town and brought Fa Hai with him to seize the Town Lord's Mansion.

When the town lord saw Fa Hai, he did not dare stop them in any way and could only watch as Ye Qiu took everything from the town treasury.

Seeing how obedient he was, Ye Qiu felt somewhat embarrassed. He copied out the cultivation method for the One Finger Yang Skill and gave it to him, promising that there would be further rewards once Green Mountain Town had been renovated.

This delighted him beyond measure. Even a Dou Zong expert like Fa Hai treated Ye Qiu with great respect, so Ye Qiu had to be an important figure, one even greater than the Yun Lan Sect's sect master. Could the rewards he promised possibly be small? Not only did the town lord refrain from obstructing Ye Qiu, he acted like a fawning lackey and proactively helped him handle matters. One after another, he wiped out several evil forces that had incurred public wrath, including the Wolf Head Mercenary Group that Xiao Yan would destroy in the future.

What did Ye Qiu intend to turn Green Mountain Town into? Hehe, he planned to establish a Technology Empire on the Dou Qi Continent, with Green Mountain Town as the first city of this Technology Empire.

He took out the things he had obtained from the town. Aside from several Dou Techniques and cultivation methods, he sold everything else to the system. However, Ye Qiu was somewhat disappointed. All those things had only exchanged for six hundred and twenty Myriad Realms Coins.

"System, purchase a complete set of Solar Power Generation Equipment and five hundred Pole Street Lamps. Uh? Also, three 21st Century Advanced Science—oh, no, Senior Technicians, especially ones proficient in electromechanics." Ye Qiu sorted out his thoughts. Technology from the twenty-first century would do. Anything too advanced was beyond his budget. Then he communicated with the system.

"Ding! A complete set of Solar Power Generation Equipment costs one hundred Myriad Realms Coins. Five hundred solar Pole Street Lamps cost fifty Myriad Realms Coins. Three Tech World C-Rank Technician Summoning Cards (21st century) cost six hundred Myriad Realms Coins. Total expenditure: seven hundred and fifty Myriad Realms Coins. Remaining balance: 129 Myriad Realms Coins."

"Mm, use the Character Summoning Cards."

"Ding! Summoning successful!" As soon as the system finished speaking, three middle-aged men with yellowish-dark skin appeared before Ye Qiu and Fa Hai.

"Greetings, Marquis. Greetings, Zen Master Fa Hai!" Aside from their memories of their original world, the system had implanted false memories and basic information about This World into them. They immediately bowed to Ye Qiu and Fa Hai.

Ye Qiu sensed them and found that none of the three had any energy fluctuations. They seemed to be nothing more than electrical workers. No wonder they were so cheap.

"Alright. Later, take the others and set up the solar generators and Pole Street Lamps in Green Mountain Temple. Understand?" Ye Qiu asked.

"This subordinate accepts the order."

Then Ye Qiu brought the three of them to meet the people constructing Green Mountain Temple and had them work as assistants. They installed one hundred Pole Street Lamps within Green Mountain Temple, while all the rest were installed in the bamboo forest that Fa Hai, Jia Xingtian, and Yun Yun had destroyed.

That place was not within Green Mountain Town. It had originally been a bamboo forest, but thanks to those three, it had become a stretch of flat land spanning nearly a thousand mu. Now, everything within several thousand li belonged to Ye Qiu, so he planned to turn that place into a Modern Market.

Ye Qiu intended to first apply modern technology to that market, then use it as a starting point to spread technology throughout Green Mountain Town. Of course, Ye Qiu could not be the one paying for it. He could not afford it. The families within his territory would have to bring things to exchange for it, and Ye Qiu would simply sell those things to the system and earn a bit from the price difference. Hehe, what a profiteer!

"Ah, Green Mountain Temple is only half finished. The progress is a little slow!" Ye Qiu sighed. That's Right, it was a little slow. The people of the Dou Qi Continent were not Earthlings from the twenty-first century. They all possessed Dou Qi and had exceptional physical strength, yet nearly a month had passed and they still had not completed a single temple. Although the temple was somewhat large, five hundred mu, had they not said they were pooling the strength of the entire town? Why was only half of it built?

"That is because there is a lack of materials." At that moment, a lazy, pleasant voice rang out.

"Hmm? Little Fairy Doctor!" Hearing that voice, Ye Qiu turned and smiled at the slowly approaching girl.

"Mm, greetings, Zen Master Fa Hai." Little Fairy Doctor nodded to Ye Qiu before bowing to Fa Hai at his side.

"You are too polite, Miss." Seeing how courteous the young woman was, Fa Hai could not help taking another look at her before nodding.

"Little Fairy Doctor, what did you mean when you said there were not enough materials?" Ye Qiu asked in confusion.

"It means exactly what it says."

"..."

"Alright, I will stop teasing you. There are enough people building Green Mountain Temple, but the construction materials are in short supply. Green Mountain Town was originally a town of mercenaries, and almost everyone in town made a living by hunting. The people below lived hand-to-mouth, so where would they get so much stone? Even after gathering all the stone in town, there still was not enough for Green Mountain Temple. Uncle Luo has already ordered people to begin quarrying stone temporarily, but the pace still cannot keep up." Seeing the dark lines on Ye Qiu's face, Little Fairy Doctor covered her mouth and smiled.

"So that's how it is. Then it is easy enough to solve. How much stone is still needed?" Stone should not be expensive, Ye Qiu thought.

"If we use only stone, we will probably need another ten thousand tons."

"Mm, since I am building it for myself, I should make it better. It just so happens that half has already been built. That half can serve as Fa Hai's monk temple, while the other half can..." Ye Qiu thought wickedly with a chuckle.

"System, how many Myriad Realms Coins would it cost to purchase a five-hundred-square-meter Modern Villa from the twenty-first century? One that includes all the furniture and plumbing."

"Ding! A five-hundred-square-meter modern villa with furniture costs one hundred Myriad Realms Coins. Would you like to purchase it?"

"Buy it."

"Ding! The Villa Summoning Card has been issued."

"Exchange my remaining twenty-nine Myriad Realms Coins for local construction stone from the Gama Empire."

"Ding! Twenty-nine Myriad Realms Coins spent. Purchased 2,900 tons of ordinary stone from the Dou Qi World."

"Tch, ten thousand tons are needed. Forget it, use these first. The rest can slowly be quarried or bought from other cities."

"Come on, Grandmaster Fa Hai, Little Fairy Doctor. I have nearly three thousand tons of stone here. Let them use it first." Ye Qiu spoke to the two of them and then headed toward the construction crew.

"You do?" Little Fairy Doctor found it strange. How did he have so much stone? What was he keeping it for? Was he always prepared to build a house?

"Haha..." Guessing what Little Fairy Doctor was thinking, Ye Qiu awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

After explaining everything, Ye Qiu chose the center of the other half of the unbuilt area. "Use the Villa Summoning Card!"

A Modern Villa appeared out of thin air and settled onto the ground, causing a powerful tremor.

"Th-This is a building from the Huaxia Empire?"

"It is so beautiful!"

"Yes, and more importantly, Brother Shi Qiu can actually carry a house around with him. That is truly unimaginable!"

Seeing the villa appear from thin air, everyone was utterly shocked and became even more fearful of Ye Qiu's methods.
