Chapter 289 The Crystal Ring!
After Xiao Yu taught him how to pickle Jerusalem artichokes.
That afternoon.
With the help of Xiao Shiyi, Xinglan and her maid began to pickle Jerusalem artichokes in batches.
This thing is so easy to make.
Wash it clean, then slice it, add salt and honey, and mix well...
A large batch of finished products can be manufactured in just one or two hours.
"Until we find more people, we'll have to let Xiaoyu and the others work a bit harder." After lunch, Xiao Yu looked towards the planting area and saw that Xiaoyu and the others were working hard, their backs bent and covered in sweat.
Seeing this, he rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Speaking of which, the first batch of blacksmith apprentices have been here for a while now. It's time to put them through the assessment. Those who pass the Level 1 Black Iron Blacksmith assessment will enjoy the same status and benefits as inner city residents!"
"this..."
Hearing this, Honglian looked at Xiao Yu in surprise.
He then looked at the planting area, his lips twitching slightly.
But thinking about her man's way of doing things, she could only shake her head with a wry smile.
Go find Chenlong, Tienan, and the others to arrange related matters.
Xiao Yu, on the other hand, came to the glowing tree, and with a thought, a tiny insect the size of a human head flew down. "So? How many larvae have you bred?"
buzz~
The ladybug's wings trembled a few times.
then.
Xiao Yu then saw more than a dozen small insects fly down from the glowing tree.
"Not bad! You already have more than a dozen?"
After taming the sound-transmitting insect, Xiao Yu already understood the method of sound transmission.
The offspring first transmits the sound to the mother insect, and then the mother insect transmits it to another offspring insect.
Simply put, the mother insect is like a transit system.
The seventh-tier sound-transmitting insect has now evolved into a mother insect, becoming an even more powerful system!
Any offspring it produces can freely transmit sound.
The seventh-order sound-transmitting worm acts as a relay system, handling the sound transmission between all its offspring.
"Come here!" Xiao Yu reached out and caught a worm in his palm.
A flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a crystal ring that was crystal clear.
Then, with a thought, the little insect was instantly sucked into the ring and disappeared.
This is the ability Xiao Yu copied from the Crystal Beast: Crystal Seal.
The small insect is sealed in this crystal; as long as you wear this ring, you can transmit sound.
"This should solve the communication problem in Dragon City."
Meanwhile, in the outer city area.
In the past, Longcheng was small and the distances were very short, so communication relied entirely on shouting.
It's just finding someone; I can find them in a minute.
But now... Dragon City has expanded tenfold, and it took Red Lotus a quarter of an hour to find Chenlong.
After all, they are mainly special operations teams and rarely stay in one position for duty.
"Vice City Lord Honglian, I'll go find Tie Nan right away and we'll handle this together!" Chen Long hurriedly assured him.
He then went to find Tie Nan without stopping.
However, it was also quite some time before the two met.
"I didn't expect that after Dragon City grew bigger, there would be so many inconveniences." After understanding the city lord's orders, Tie Nan shook his head with a wry smile.
"Yes! It's so difficult for both of our special forces teams to find each other!" Chen Long frowned as he recalled running over a thousand meters to find Tie Nan.
If the teams cannot communicate effectively, problems will really arise.
"Chenlong! Tienan! Come to the City Lord's Mansion!" Just then, a majestic voice suddenly rang in Chenlong and Tienan's minds.
"It's the City Lord!"
The two exchanged a glance, both looking embarrassed.
Could it be that the city lord heard their complaints and is about to reprimand them?
Thinking of this, the two could only shake their heads with wry smiles and hurry to the city lord's mansion to receive their punishment.
A moment later, inside the city lord's mansion.
"Lord City Lord, we apologize..." Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Chenlong and Tie Nan immediately bowed and apologized.
They had gained the city lord's favor and their lives had become increasingly prosperous, their strength increasing tenfold or even a hundredfold. They should have been extremely grateful to the city lord, but instead, they not only couldn't solve their problems, they constantly complained...
However, Xiao Yu completely ignored their apologies and waved his hand to interrupt them.
"After the renovation of Dragon City, I have been trying to find a solution to the communication problem of the city defense army. Now that I have the communication bug in this crystal ring, all the problems can be solved."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and two crystal rings flew into their hands.
Then, he taught the two how to use it.
"A sound-transmitting bug? There are such magical things?" After listening to Xiao Yu's introduction, the two looked at the extremely beautiful crystal ring in their hands, both of them somewhat suspicious.
But they dared not refute it to his face, so they could only find a place to experiment immediately.
But soon, both of them were shocked.
"It's really true! Words spoken hundreds of meters apart can be transmitted instantly?"
"Hahaha... With this communication bug, all the city defenses can maintain communication at all times!"
"Moreover... in the future, when giving orders, we won't need to run all over the city to find the right person; we can just talk to the communication bug! It saves time and effort! The efficiency will increase by more than ten times!"
After trying it again, the two were overjoyed.
At the same time, they felt increasingly ashamed, realizing that when faced with problems, all they knew how to do was complain.
But the city lord was trying to find a solution.
"From now on, I will work even harder to repay the City Lord!"
After Chenlong and the other two left, Xiao Yu summoned Chu Ling Shuang, Xiao Yu, and several other key personnel from various departments, as well as all the commanders and detachment leaders of the city defense army, giving each of them a crystal ring.
Everyone was naturally overjoyed to have obtained the sound-transmitting insect.
After all, with the expansion of Dragon City, it's not just the city defense troops who will find it inconvenient.
The interactions between other departments were also extremely complicated.
Often, what can be said in words requires running thousands of meters to communicate.
But now, it saves a lot of trouble.
Of course, what makes women even happier is receiving a dazzling and beautiful crystal ring.
"Brother-in-law, where's my ring?" Upon learning that everyone had received a beautiful crystal ring, Xinglan immediately hugged Xiao Yu's arm and started to act coquettishly.
"Hehe, I've already prepared it for you. Here, put it on your finger!" A ring appeared out of thin air in Xiao Yu's palm, and he personally put it on the blue-haired girl's finger.
Bathed in the ring's light, the girl shone even brighter, like an elf under the night sky.
"Hehe! With this ring, I can talk to my brother-in-law anytime!"
With this communication insect, the Dragon City defense forces can maintain communication at any time, relaying instructions to each other, and relaying information such as when attacked or in need of rescue.
This means that all previous battle plans will have to be adjusted.
Only then can the power of the sound-transmitting insect be better brought into play.
Inside the city lord's mansion, Xiao Yu encountered a new problem.
"Brother, those dozen or so children have already learned basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. When will the new textbooks be available?"
"Besides... those orc children have been in Dragon City for a few days and have adapted to their new life here. In the past two days, we've only taught them basic pictographs. When can we compile teaching materials suitable for them?" Honglian asked Xiao Yu, holding a pile of materials.
A dozen or so gifted children are being groomed to become the future management of Longcheng.
Therefore, Honglian always attached great importance to it and often took her by her side to teach her.
But precisely because they learn so quickly, Xiao Yu's textbook writing speed has become somewhat slow to keep up.
After all... textbooks aren't just made up randomly.
"Yes, the teaching materials are very important, and I need to think about them carefully."
"Those dozen or so children will continue to be taught Confucianism and Mencius' teachings: loyalty to the emperor and love for the city, respect for teachers and the Way!"
"As for the orc children, teach them the 'Standards for Being a Good Student and Child'!"
