Chapter 973: Splashing water will fix it, where the money is used
The round head, the forehead protrudes forward like an old birthday star, the eyes are small, and they look cute. What if they are not a porpoise!
"This kind of monster is rare and not at a high level, level 7 or eight! I found it in a lake on the edge of the vast depths. It took a lot of effort to bring them back. I made a big circle to connect with the river flowing through our Stars..." The old man looked proud and talked loudly.
"They were really tamed by you and came back with you?" Jiang Xingchen asked.
"Nonsense, otherwise how could I bring them back from such a distance? Of course..."
Before the old man finished speaking, he saw these porpoises suddenly turn around collectively, swing back with their tails swings, without any nostalgia.
"Oh, I'll go, you guys who are unscrupulous, just wipe your mouth and leave after eating, believe it or not, I'll stew you all!" The old man shouted in anger.
Jiang Xingchen twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and grabbed the old man: "How much is left in the last bottle of dragon blood?"
"This...it's more than half a bottle!" The old man turned his head and refused to look at Jiang Xingchen.
"How many?" Jiang Xingchen asked again.
"That... it should be half a bottle!" The old man lowered his head.
"real?"
"It's almost gone, why?" The old man turned around suddenly and shouted: "If I don't use dragon blood, can I attract these guys?"
Jiang Xingchen glared: "You dare to shout to me. I didn't want you to go at that time, just know that you are not reliable! I've got all the hovering bottles of dragon blood, and you're fine. Even a few porpoises can't handle it!"
The old man also knew that he was in the wrong, so he grinned and stopped talking. At that time, he thought that with dragon blood in his hand, he would definitely get a few monsters in the water back. Who knew that these porpoises were so unlucky that they turned around and ran away after eating. It was difficult to find monsters in the water, so he could only lead them back little by little. He was beaten all the way, even if he used a drop every once in a while, a bottle of dragon blood was almost used up.
"Give me the dragon blood!" Jiang Xingchen reached out.
The old man threw the bottle to Jiang Xingchen and muttered, "I'm useless to give you something. Those guys are very terrible, I don't believe it..."
Jiang Xingchen ignored the old man. He pulled out the bottle plug and dripped it into the water.
Suddenly, the scene just now appeared again, and the water surface seemed to have a pot. No, the runaway porpoise swam back.
Jiang Xingchen squatted by the river, lifted the water with his hands and threw it towards one of the porpoises. The porpoise was startled and suddenly retracted into the water, but then he showed his head and shouted at Jiang Xingchen.
Jiang Xingchen continued to sway the water, and all the porpoises showed their heads and shouted at him. He also kept slapping the water with his two fins, looking very happy.
Looking at the cute appearance of these plunders, Jiang Xingchen laughed and patted them with two hands a few times. He waved to them. Several plunders immediately rushed to the shallows, half of their bodies were exposed, slapped the water with their tails while nodding at Jiang Xingchen.
The old man was stunned afterwards. What's going on? I was useless and these unscathed souls ignored me. As a result, the little souls splashed a few times and got it done. This... is not scientific.
The old man was in a mess. He didn't know that when Jiang Xingchen splashed water, he would throw away the gathering of vital energy. A drop of dragon blood was diluted by a large amount of river water. The plunders did not gain much, but the gathering of vital energy was different. Now Jiang Xingchen's formation has reached the material exploration array, and the gathering of vital energy is useful even level 28 monsters like pink, let alone these level 7 and 8 monsters.
Therefore, seeing that Jiang Xingchen had no malice, they ran forward happily to act cute and beg for a cover, clamoring to gather their vitality.
Jiang Xingchen touched the forehead of the porpoise one by one, quietly releasing its energy, while the porpoise looked like it was enjoying it.
"Boy... how did you do it?" The old man walked up. He was so curious. Could it be that this boy was really a monster reincarnation? He had worked so hard that he was wasting nearly a bottle of dragon blood but failed. As a result, the boy took down the porpoise after splashing water twice. This was a big blow!
"Old man, haven't you noticed it? The Yangtze River Porpoise is a bit similar to Doudou! They both like to play very much, like people to play with them, and like to act like to show off!" Jiang Xingchen turned his head and asked with a smile.
"It seems...yes!" Thinking of Jiang Xingchen splashing water just now, the old man subconsciously nodded.
"It's that simple!" Jiang Xingchen gently patted the forehead of the largest porpoise and said, "Come on, say hello to the old man!"
Jiang Xingchen said, pointed at the old man, picked up the water and poured it on the old man.
Several porpoises were indeed interested. They used their fins to make water slices, and large splashes of water poured over the old man's head and face. That's not all, the two porpoises even raised their heads and spurted two columns of water from their mouths, all hitting the old man.
"Hahahaha... what do I think?" Jiang Xingchen patted the dairumu chicken, or the old man who was like a chicken falling from the soup, and walked down the river bank. The porpoises turned around and returned to the deeper waters and swam slowly with Jiang Xingchen.
The old man raised his hand and wiped the water from his face, and said with a sad face: "I'm paralyzed. I had known that I could do it if I had played with water. I was so full that I could use so much dragon blood..."
After Jiang Xingchen fooled the old man, he led the porpoises along the river and entered the lake downstream. This is where the water amusement park is located.
When he arrived here, he had to test the strength and speed of the porpoise. After all, the porpoise was not big. There were a total of eight porpoises, and the largest one was only about two meters and five meters long.
The test results came out quickly, which made Jiang Xingchen very satisfied. Once the eight porpoises soared, their speed was not much worse than that of the speedboat. They could be transferred in less than two or three (months) of a lake of hundreds of square miles.
Later, without using Jiang Xingchen to say anything, a few porpoises stayed. Although the vast and deep energy was strong, it was not enough to absorb the energy given by Jiang Xingchen for a year or two to gather it. Moreover, there was no danger here, there was enough food in the lake and the range was large enough, and there were still people playing with them. How good it was to stay here...
Jiang Xingchen comforted the eight porpoises and came to the shallow. The progress of the amusement park is half over, and large water facilities are being built. The seats on the shore are almost completed!
After seeing the progress of the project, Jiang Xingchen went directly to see the planting and breeding situation. This year, the weather was good. There was plenty of rain and no waterlogging. The grain and vegetables were growing well. The grapes were planted in the first year, but the fruits were small and the number was not large. What made Jiang Xingchen most happy was that the cucumbers were about to mature, and they were full of flowers and thorns, and they were envious of them when they looked at them.
Jiang Xingchen picked one, washed it with pressure well water, broke it in half, and chewed it in his mouth, yes~ it was sweet and crispy, delicious!
While chewing cucumbers, he wandered around the field and saw more than ten acres of peppers. Jiang Xingchen went to see the breeding situation. Pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. were managed by the orcs, and everything was normal. The number of wild pheasants raised was much smaller. They were all destroyed by the masters who attacked the Xingchen Leader. Although the fence has been repaired, the wild pheasants are less than 30% of the original ones.
Jiang Xingchen cursed a lot in his heart. When he returned to Xinzhen, he went to find Mei'er and asked her to summon mercenaries to go to the mountains to hunt to supply the needs of major restaurants during the celebration.
Then, he found Mengyue again and asked her if there was any better swimming in the model team.
"Sir, what are you doing? Do you have any thoughts? Miss Mei'er knows?" Meng Yue's eyes were shiny. She was shining with gossip, and her little mouth asked several questions in succession.
Zhao Danqing, who was standing beside him, also laughed and said loudly: "Brother, you are so excited, a man..."
As soon as he said this, Meng Yue looked like a knife, and was so scared that he hurriedly shut up.
Jiang Xingchen was covered in black lines, and he once again experienced the woman's gossip.
"The water park thing! If you models are not right, then I'll go find someone else!" Jiang Xingchen said as he was about to leave.
"Who said no, I'll find it for you right away!" Meng Yue stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Xingchen, dragged him out of the room...
In the next few days, Xingchen Leader began a big move, and the blacksmiths gathered together moved to Hongyuan City in large numbers.
The blacksmiths who received the notice were a little confused. They had received sufficient rest in the past two months and did not work without working. But although they had never been so idle in their lives, many people muttered to themselves that a large number of people came here to learn more advanced smelting techniques. They did nothing every day, isn’t this a waste of time?
Now that they were suddenly told to go to Hongyuan City, these people were even more uneasy and were asking and discussing, not knowing what was going on.
It was not until someone told them that Xingchenling established a steel factory outside Hongyuan City that was a brand new method of smelting, that they felt relieved and began to look forward to it.
Jiang Xingchen invested nearly 100,000 yuan in this regard. Living, accommodation, factory areas, ironmaking blast furnaces, steelmaking open furnaces, steel rolling equipment... The investment of a steel plant is not much of a problem than building a town.
Now the staff of the Duan family have reached the extreme. Xingchen led the people here and they are too busy to get busy with the projects on the steel factory. Jiang Xingchen had no choice but to decide to bid outside and let other builders do it.
After making this decision, Jiang Xingchen shook his head and sighed. He originally thought that he had obtained a few million yuan of stones in a desert, which was enough to consume for several years. But from the current development, it is not necessarily enough. The steel plant had 100,000 yuan of stones in the early stage, and although I don’t know the investment in the later stage, it is definitely indispensable.
In the future, the construction of railways and the research on steam locomotives will use more money and resources, and more than tens of millions will not be enough.
There is no need to worry about the curse land for the time being. The blackmailed Yuanshi should be enough to be used there for a while. However, Xingchenling also needs to relocate paper and cement, as well as the construction of a new city, and the university park needs to be planned and constructed. In addition, there is also the transportation of combustible ice far away in the ice field.
After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xingchen felt that the money on hand was really not enough.
Just as Jiang Xingchen was calculating money, the lord of Hongyuan City Cui Ying was so happy that the steel plant had not started yet, and he was about to see the effect. How could he be unhappy?
It was early July, and the recruited blacksmiths had basically completed the relocation and temporarily lived in Hongyuan City, which was arranged by Cui Ying!
