Setting Out Disguised as a Merchant Caravan

Elite Black Shield Heavy Infantry: 60 men

Slime: The actual number is not statistically accurate, but it has been increasing.

The current situation is that there are as many as 172 elite units.

Among these elite units, only the Black Shield Heavy Infantry has reached level 12; the others are at most level 10.

"It's approaching a thousand in scale."

Ye Qian herself was startled by the number.

Could we then directly send the main force to Kalu's world to help her expand her territory?

With multiple worlds to develop, it would be difficult for me not to become strong in this other world.

"I wonder if these people can be brought into reality."

Considering the upstream and downstream tidal issues involved, it's unclear what disastrous consequences might result from bringing in a large number of people.

Moreover, the world of Transcendent demands far more strength than sheer numbers. If we rashly bring in familiar units, the forces behind the system might notice.

"It's best to be cautious then," Ye Qian thought to herself.

The sky was about to darken.

Ye Qian sat down in the chair, leaned back, and felt the light rain falling on her face. She couldn't help but yawn lazily.

"Is it really that tempting?"

Lan Xinyu came up to her, looked at the wet girl, and immediately smiled.

"What is it?" Ye Qian opened one eye. "Or do you want me to trample you on the ground and call you master?"

"..."

Lan Xinyu felt extremely awkward whenever the matter was brought up, so she changed the subject, asking, "What are your thoughts on what happened next?"

"The aftermath."

Ye Qian checked the time; there were still more than two days before the logout function would be enabled.

In fact, by then, you can stay for another 24 hours before being forcibly pulled back to reality.

"How about we try to build a railway track tonight or tomorrow? The development of transportation should be put on the agenda." Ye Qian straightened her legs, stretched vigorously, and casually called over the two black-shield infantrymen standing guard in the distance.

"Grown ups."

The two men approached and knelt respectfully on one knee, heads bowed, appearing extremely loyal.

However, Ye Qian noticed that the young man's face was a little red, and his eyes would occasionally glance at her, but in the end, his gaze could only see her legs.

"Tsk, it seems these soldiers are all flesh and blood, truly the dead come back to life." Ye Qian felt that this young soldier must like her, because he was even blushing.

Checking the loyalty rating, it's already at 78, which is quite rare.

"You two go find a few more people and drive a metal truck to the mine to haul over some freshly mined iron ore. The boiler is yours to try and make it look like a railway track. Here are the blueprints. If you don't know how, learn how to smelt iron from the blacksmith we hired."

After Ye Qian finished speaking, she handed over the method for making the railway tracks.

"Yes!"

The two soldiers respectfully accepted the gift, saluted, and then turned and left.

Watching them leave, Lan Xinyu's eyes lit up. "You're really capable, Ye Qian, you have the air of a leader."

"The way you're praising me seems a little strange to me."

Ye Qian glared at her and ordered several teams of Skeleton to patrol the area between the four outer territories.

That's right. If you're not careful, it's still quite easy for enemies to sneak in from between territories. It's not completely safe.

So now her idea is to have the Arrow Tower surround the city as much as possible, covering all blind spots in the surveillance.

In this way, any red dot appearing in the field of vision will trigger a notification on the minimap. And once the number of red dots reaches a certain level, or the color becomes a certain intensity, an alarm will sound immediately, signaling the presence of a formidable enemy.

After dinner, Ye Qian ate a few bites of the fruit she had bought and Purification, and suddenly felt that she might be able to start a resale business.

In fact, the fruits in the trading area have not been Purification and are Pollution, but they are often more expensive than meat.

For example, this apple in my hand costs 20 Copper Coin, and a normal person can't afford to eat more than that.

Moreover, fruit is a relatively difficult product to sell. Everyone is busy saving money, so why would they spend so much money to buy a Pollution fruit?

"But if I Purification it, it's hard to say."

So Ye Qian decisively bought 30 silver coins worth of fruit, Purification it in front of her, and then doubled the price of all of them, marking them as healthy fruit and selling them.

Buyers can view the specific attributes, so it can't be faked.

"Really..."

In less than a minute, one piece of fruit was sold.

She observed quietly for ten minutes, and sold a total of 5, earning 1 silver coin.

"At this rate, I can earn 6 silver coins per hour, and 144 silver coins per day by selling fruit. Of course, this is in an ideal situation. It probably won't sell very well at night, so I estimate I can earn 100 silver coins per day."

She had to admire herself for discovering a business opportunity so easily.

After thinking about it, he simply spent 100 silver coins to buy a bunch of things such as dried meat, dried fruit, spices, and herbs, Purification them all, and listed them at double the price.

After observation, it is confirmed that these things can generate a daily income of about 100 silver.

Doing these two things every day can provide you with about 200 silver coins.

"Phew, not bad, not bad."

I closed the chat area and just then saw several Black Shield Heavy Infantry walking out of the ironworks, pulling a wooden cart loaded with a large amount of iron blocks behind them.

"Is this the material used for railway tracks?" Ye Qian asked as she went up to him.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"OK, let's start laying them. Let's start from the main base and lay them towards the Mining Area. Wait for me a moment, I'll bring over the sleepers we've collected over there."

Ye Qian said something and prepared to go to the warehouse next door. As a result, a soldier ran over very proactively and said, "Lady Ye Qian, you can leave these things to us. There is no need to do it yourself."

"All right."

Seeing their initiative, Ye Qian shrugged.

These soldiers seemed quite proactive and tried very hard to perform.

More than ten minutes later, several truckloads of materials were delivered to the east wall of the main base.

The two soldiers then used pre-made levers to lower the long iron block and sleepers, and began to reinforce them with screws.

Undoubtedly, with the rails in place, some of the vehicle wheels also needed to be modified to adapt to the requirements of the rails.

Under her watchful eye, the soldiers began constructing section by section with remarkable efficiency.

Several trucks delivered small stones, which were then laid on the road.

The tracks were obviously not as sophisticated as modern trains. In fact, most of the metal freight cars were very small, only 4 meters long and 2 meters wide. They looked like dilapidated metal sheets, and the covers on top could be opened and closed.

In terms of transportation, these vehicles have truly achieved low cost.

"I'll go and procure more vehicle bodies; we need at least 200."

Chapter 83 Setting Off Disguised as a Caravan

10 PM, Home Base.

"Push it out."

"Yes!"

After Ye Qian gave the order, several soldiers pushed a newly produced metal truck from inside the building to the outside, the scene filled with the sound of panting heavily.

After several hours of continuous high-intensity work, 20 new Iron-Clad Cart have been produced.

In this way, Ye Qian's total number of vehicles reached 40.

However, 10 of them are of different specifications, specifically designed for railway tracks, and will be connected end to end by iron chains to form a small train.

All 10 vehicles are equipped with seats, and it is estimated that, with some squeezing, they can transport 200 people at a time.

Conversely, delivering goods doesn't require a specific location; only a few vehicles need to be occupied by people to drive them forward.

Considering the power issue, Ye Qian purchased Wind Magic -related gems from the store, using two for each train. Connecting them with patterns that accelerate and reduce weight would greatly improve transportation efficiency.

After this series of operations, the transportation capacity between different territories was basically able to meet Ye Qian's needs.

Looking back at the muddy ground beneath her feet, Ye Qian decided to work for another hour before taking a break.

She walked to the side, took out an Iron Hammer, and went to a section of the large ore that had been transported over. She began to swing and strike it.

Bang! Bang!

"I'm really strong right now."

The Copper Coin that occasionally popped up were no longer of any use to her. She simply wanted to speed up her work and, incidentally, try her luck to see if she could get anything good.

Unexpectedly, an item emitting a green glow fell out.

[Architecture: Majestic Town Center (Green)]

[Type: Drawings]

[Building materials: 100 silver coins, 1000 wood blocks, 2000 stone blocks, 300 iron blocks, and enough space]

[Description: The town's central decision-making area provides ample office space and rest areas to enhance decision-making efficiency. This facility can also train civilians to become town militia for maintaining order.]

"The town center?"

The thickness of these blueprints is astonishing; a quick glance at the basic details reveals a truly imposing presence.

However, the training of civilians was basically useless.

Unless they purchase civilian buildings or occupy native cities and incorporate the natives into their own population.

"I feel that our homes need to be upgraded; we can't keep living like savages."

In Ye Qian's vision, it would even be necessary to build city walls later on, turning the main base of the home into a city in the true sense.

"These blueprints can be given to Chen Ning. If he wants to build it, then he can."

The most important thing now is to get the railway tracks sorted out first.

So Ye Qian took the blueprints to the north side of the main base, where Chen Ning was directing several soldiers to reinforce the wooden walls.

Turning around, she immediately saw Ye Qian approaching.

"Is there something you need?"

"This is something I just discovered. How about I give it to you for safekeeping?" The girl handed over a blueprint herself.

Chen Ning took the item and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised. "This is a central building, which is essential for upgrading a town. You've found something good again."

Do you think it's necessary to build it?

"Yes, we can start preparing the materials now, which will be helpful in negotiations with local forces."

At this point, Chen Ning suddenly remembered something and took out a prop from his person.

[Item: Evasion Charm (Green)]

[Type: Consumable]

[Note: This ability allows for instant return when used within a 200km radius of your home.]

"When this was exposed today, I was thinking about something."

"Hmm?" Ye Qian tilted her head.

Chen Ning: "..."

Can you please stop acting cute?

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In reality, Ye Qian wasn't trying to be cute at all. It was just that she was so cute that even a slight twist of her neck could give the illusion that she was trying to be cute.
