Red Moon Mountain, with the rising morning sun.
As Lin Qi arrived once more, the entire Red Moon Mountain had undergone a tremendous transformation. The peaks that were supposed to tower into the clouds were now covered with steel buildings. Among them, a high tower stood on the summit. From time to time, flying transports could be seen passing by the tower, landing on the nearby steel buildings.
On the only steel bridge leading to Red Moon Town on land, there were transport vehicles parked everywhere, ranging from small, medium to large. They stretched out as far as the eye could see.
Even the guards accompanying them were all at least Martial Artists. However, these strong convoy members did not use their strength to cut in line or drive away vagabonds entering Red Moon Town. Instead, they obediently queued up.
"Is this Red Moon Town?"
Xia Ling and Estina, who were following Lin Qi, looked at the scene before them and doubted whether they had come to the wrong place.
Both of them had been to Red Moon Mountain before and had witnessed a great battle there. They knew very well what the situation was like at Red Moon Mountain.
Not to mention that the basic environment was poor and that the development level was not even as good as the Abandoned Area, it was only because there were many gathered vagabonds.
But how long has it been since? The Red Moon Mountain now is hardly the same as before; it's almost a lively city, nearly as bustling as an urban area, with flying transport vehicles everywhere and Martial Artists walking about.
It wasn't only Xia Ling and Estina who were surprised; even Lin Qi, who hadn't been here for a while, was astonished to see the current Red Moon Town.
He knew well that the construction speed of Red Moon Town was fast, given that more than a hundred thousand Martial Arts Academy disciples were continuously involved in its construction here, and these disciples were at least Intermediate Apprentices with the equipment they had; their basic construction ability was unparalleled by ordinary people.
What surprised Lin Qi, however, was the number of people coming to Red Moon Town.
If the previous Red Moon Town had tens of thousands of vagabonds conducting business daily, now it surely exceeded a million. It was indeed odd that quite a few merchant caravans came over as well.
Although Red Moon Town was close to Chasing Light City and Myriad Stars City, its specialties might only be monster meat.
In the situation where the number of wild monsters increased, monster meat was already not rare in major cities, and its price had even fallen considerably, which meant Red Moon Town's competitiveness had decreased a lot. It was unimaginable that so many merchant caravans from other towns would still come.
While Lin Qi was feeling astonished, a party was also crossing the steel bridge.
This party wasn't large, with only about twenty people, but each one was a rare sight of Martial Artists seen in the wild. All the queued merchant caravans stopped and appeared quite respectful upon seeing this group, as if they had seen some eminent figures.
Especially seeing a young Feather Race individual among them, the Martial Artists and leaders of the caravans all had eyes filled with inexplicable envy.
This Feather Race youth was none other than Fluo, the former Deputy Gang Leader of the Cyan Sparrow Gang. But now, he was one of the administrators of Red Moon Town. All merchant caravans renting shops in Red Moon Town could not bypass Fluo.
Just as everyone was curious about why this significant figure from Red Moon Town suddenly appeared, Fluo was the first to run over to Lin Qi and his group.
"Hall Master, the tasks you arranged have all been completed. The policies and staff for the Cultivation Tower are all in place. As soon as you give the order, these people can begin their duties at any time," Fluo reported respectfully and cautiously. "Moreover, the current population of the town has reached 415,458. The constructed houses can accommodate one million people, with the surrounding lakes and roads all connected, so it can expand outward anytime. With one more week, I am confident we can increase to two million with inhabitable housing."
"Not bad; take us over for a look," Lin Qi nodded.
The task Lin Qi had assigned to Fluo was to build houses and expand the town's area. After all, he wanted to improve his Managerial Authority, and the first step was to have one hundred thousand Martial Arts Academy disciples. Relying solely on Chasing Light City would hardly recruit enough qualified disciples, but recruiting from the entire Mist Mountain Region would be different.
In Chasing Light City, he couldn't arrange so many registrants or place so many Martial Arts Academy disciples, even if he was the Deputy City Lord and held an area in the city center. Considering future development, he still needed a town of his own.
So, he instructed Fluo to expand the town as much as possible and integrate disciples from the vagabonds.
It seems that the results were quite good.
"Yes."
Fluo immediately led Lin Qi, along with several dozen Martial Arts Hall Defense Corps disciples, straight into Red Moon Town.
As Fluo guided Lin Qi and his group into Red Moon Town, the merchants and vagabonds queued on the bridge were all astounded.
"Who are those people to have Fluo personally escort them?"
"I just heard Fluo call someone Hall Master; could it be that the Human Race youth is the Hall Master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?"
"Oh my God! Is the Hall Master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall really this young? I heard that the war between Chasing Light City and Star Tower City started because the disciples of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall severely injured Star Tower City. This led Star Tower City to abandon Chasing Light City. Now, the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall is already acknowledged as the largest force under the city. To think that the Hall Master is this young... it's unbelievable."...
