During the battle, Chen Xing soon discovered that the effective distance of his clone was about fifteen meters. Beyond this distance, the clone would become insubstantial, become translucent, and lose the ability to interfere with matter.

In addition, creating a clone requires consuming eighteen units of psionic energy, which is equivalent to nine charged shots, three to four compressed charged shots, and continues to consume 1.2 to 1.3 units of psionic energy every three minutes.

.

Chen Xing's spiritual power level is 120 points. Although it seems to be a lot, due to the consumption of other skills during the battle, the spiritual pool is estimated to be exhausted soon. This is based on the premise that he has an endless sea area.

Double that, and if you have talent in other fields, you will be stretched thin and it will be unsustainable.

However, the effect of the wheel battle was also extremely obvious. It can be seen that the two maids fainted from the torture in less than half an hour.

The cargo ship sails on the edge of Binglanhu, and the water and sky are the same color, quiet and leisurely. From time to time, you can see the oncoming luxury yachts, and there are groups of beauties on the white and smooth deck. They are wearing bikinis and swimsuits, looking fat and thin, and they are gorgeous and fragrant.

Perhaps because they saw that Chen Xing had never been to the royal capital, Lao Ji and the old ship merchant unanimously introduced Chen Xing to the customs and customs of Ice Blue City, as well as various rules and precautions.

According to Lao Ji, Ice Blue City is a place where "nobles are as numerous as dogs, and princes are everywhere". There are only three kinds of people in the city, nobles, vassals and people who are about to become nobles or vassals. So don't offend people easily, otherwise a

Accidentally meeting a marquis, a duke, or even a prince, even if his family is in decline, will cause unnecessary trouble.

There are a very large number of declining nobles living in the city. Perhaps due to lack of ability, laziness, or other various and unimaginable reasons, they rest on the great achievements of their ancestors and wait to die.

These people are the strongest supporters of aristocratic rules, because apart from this, they have nothing to be proud of.

There is an old saying circulating in Binglan City: "Money cannot buy decency."

But in fact, money can buy anything. A powerful aristocrat will never be short of money. Only a weak aristocrat will emphasize "respectability". Because of this, wealthy businessmen from the bottom of the society must have to join the aristocratic circle if they want to join the aristocratic circle.

Marry a noble lady and integrate into a "respectable" life. Only the declining nobles can gain wealth without working and continue to live on.

"Decent" is the most important aspect of Ice Blue City's core values, and everything must be done with dignity.

Not hiring a sufficient number of servants is disgraceful. A nobleman needs to be equipped with a butler, a butler, a maid, a cook, a coachman, and a gardener. In the eyes of the lower class people, it is extravagant and wasteful, but in the circle of the nobles, it is an obligation to provide employment opportunities.

Ice Blue City follows the ancient tradition and does not allow motor vehicles to approach, and can only use carriages and battery cars. It would be dishonorable to not have its own carriage and stables, and not have one or two heavy draft horses of noble blood.

It is not decent to light oil lamps and candles and turn on the electric lights at night; it is not decent to light a wood stove and use an electric stove in winter; it is not decent to go out without a housekeeper and a maid.

What to eat for breakfast, what to eat for afternoon tea, what to eat for dinner, what to eat in different seasons, what to eat on different holidays.

Clothes for sunny days, clothes for cloudy days, clothes for rainy days, clothes for riding horses, clothes for dinners, clothes for dances, it involves every detail of life. Regarding the rules of decency, even seven days and seven nights cannot tell them all.

Chen Xing's head felt dizzy after listening to it. It seemed that he could only put it aside for now and study slowly when he got there.

The cargo ship can no longer move forward when it reaches the Red and Blue River, because the foreign ships are not clean enough, and must change to a luxury yacht or steam train.

Chen Xing rented a yacht and sailed down the Red and Blue River. The water was blue and clear, the banks were covered with flowers and grass, and ancient sculptures could be seen everywhere, as if he were on a river in a park.

Further away are lawns and groves, lush and green, and lakes of various sizes are vaguely visible, like mirrors placed on the ground.

Just as Jinfen Port is also known as "Thousand Sail Port", Ice Blue City is also known as "Thousand Lakes City".

The personnel on the ship were uniformly dressed in dark blue sailor uniforms and white gloves, and every movement was meticulous. Even when facing the two pretty maids, they could not look away and concentrate.

"Sir, Ice Blue City is coming soon."

The captain walked to the deck and saluted Chen Xing. Chen Xing nodded in return. Not long after, a castle carved from ice and jade appeared at the end of the river.

Just like a castle in a fairy tale, the bricks and stones are blue and transparent, with ice and jade soul. Standing on the top of the royal capital like a swan, it is noble and pure, as beautiful as poetry and painting.

There are multiple independent piers on the shore, and one or two yachts are parked next to each pier. Waiters in red clothes and white hats stand on the pier, neatly lined up, waiting for the arrival of VIPs. At the end of the boardwalk are several cars

The carriage has tall horses and a luxurious style. Farther away there is a white battery carriage, which looks small and crowded. There is a platform for luggage at the back, which seems to be for servants.

Chen Xing stepped off the boat and was greeted by a dock steward in a tuxedo.

"Sir, good afternoon." After receiving a nod from Chen Xing, he asked, "Sir, where are you staying?"

"Go to the noble hall first." Chen Xing said. Since he came here, he naturally had to go through the formalities first to avoid being treated as a servant.

"Sir, please come this way." The dock steward put Chen Xing and the two maids on the carriage, and then arranged for others to make battery carts.

"Drive!" the coachman shouted, flicking his whip, and the two three-meter-high draft horses raised their white-haired calves, taking small steps and gradually accelerating.

The decoration inside the carriage is simple and elegant, sewn with beige floral cloth, and a small oil lamp hangs on the top. There is a gentle breeze outside. Although it is summer, the temperature here is not high, and the wind is cool, so it is very comfortable without turning on the air conditioner.

Comfortable.

"Bahhhh..."

The horse trotted on the stone road and entered the side gate of the city in about twenty minutes.

The stone curved porch is like a bridge hole, and is more than thirty meters long when passing by. In other words, the outer wall of Ice Blue City is more than thirty meters thick. Oil lamps are hung on the wall, and the light is dim. After a while, a sight appears in front of you.

Bright, as if traveling through time and space, entering a medieval town.

The streets are winding, the houses are old and honest, the arches above the stone steps are small and exquisite, flower pots are hung under the rectangular wooden window sills, and gold-painted wooden direction signs are hung on the walls at the street corners, full of life.

After running on the street for a while, the carriage turned into a spacious street, surrounded by flowers and lush greenery. All kinds of carriages came and went. There was a small fountain every few dozen meters in the middle of the road, spraying out tiny sprays of water.

"Wow~" The two maids looked out of the car with wide eyes, looking very curious.

Horses were strolling leisurely, and the speed was very slow. Pedestrians on both sides of the road walked in an orderly manner, neither hurried nor impatient. They were not in a hurry like office workers in big cities. Everything here was very slow, as if

The flow rate of time also slowed down,

Traveling while sightseeing, it took the carriage more than half an hour to arrive at the Noble Hall.

The two maids followed Chen Xing into the noble hall, one on the left and the other on the right. This circular hall had sofas facing each other on both sides, separated by passages of several meters. The reception staff trotted over and arranged seats first.

Then serve lemonade and hot towels.

A female clerk with a portable screen came to him and asked Chen Xing what to do.

"Is it your first time to go through the nobility procedures?"

"Well, please wait a moment. I will check your information first and then submit the application for you. It will only take a few minutes to complete..."

The female clerk operated on the screen for a while, and Chen Xing's black watch automatically lit up.

[The information has been reviewed and applied for baron status in the United Kingdom of Ambergris River]

"drop……"

[The application has been approved. Congratulations to Mr. Chen Erliu for receiving the title of baronet. The world announcement has been released]

[The territory interface has been opened, there is currently no territory]

[Social credit has been upgraded from "good" to "perfect", please cherish your feathers]

[Have received Baron subsidy, monthly subsidy is 200 gold, distributed on the 25th of every month, Harvest Festival subsidy is 800 gold, distributed on December 20th every year]

[Having obtained the palace maid contract document*1, you can go to the Royal Maid Academy to choose a palace maid]

…

"Lord Baron, the procedure has been completed." The female clerk bowed and said.

"Thank you." Chen Xing nodded and said, then glanced at Ye Qian beside him. The latter understood and took out two gold coins from the purse at his waist as a tip.

"Thank you, sir." The female clerk took the tip and bowed again. Then she glanced at Ye Qian and suggested, "Your Excellency is already a noble. It's best to hire a suitable housekeeper to handle all the procedures for you.

It’s more respectable.”

Tips are usually given by the butler, and it would be unseemly for a maid to do so.

"Where can I find a butler?" Chen Xing asked.

"The Butler Center on West Fifth Street." the female clerk replied.

"If I want to apply for a territory, who should I contact?" Chen Xing asked again.

The female clerk showed a puzzled expression, but did not answer, probably because she felt it was inappropriate. Chen Xing realized that he might have asked a stupid question, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Sorry, I'm presumptuous."

"It's okay." The female clerk said with a smile.

After leaving the noble hall, Chen Xing did not go to the butler center, but checked nearby hotels online. It seems that the territorial issues are not so easy to solve, so he should settle down first.

More than ten minutes later, the carriage took Chen Xing and others to the hotel. A neatly dressed waiter came up to open the door and ushered everyone into the hotel lobby.

Looking around, there are many lifelike animal head specimens hanging on the walls of the hotel, most of which are elk, but also bears and lions. Above the specimens hang various shotguns, which are old and of exquisite workmanship. There are wood and fireplace in the corner.

Various knives are hung on it, giving it the feel of a hunter's cabin in the woods.

"Welcome to the Deer Hunter Hotel, distinguished sir, please allow me to serve you."

The lobby manager came forward to receive you.

"What room do you have?" Chen Xing asked.

"We have a common suite with one master room, three guest rooms, five servant rooms, and an independent kitchen. The price is twenty-two gold coins a day; the manor suite has one master room, five guest rooms, and eleven servant rooms.

There is an independent kitchen, a hanging garden and a steam bath, and the price is thirty-nine gold coins a day; the governor's suite, one master room, nine guest rooms, seventeen servant rooms, and..."

Chen Xing didn't bring many people here, so he asked for a manor suite. Although he had money, he couldn't spend it frivolously. He only talked about ostentation but not the actual nouveau riche.

"Sir, I want to find an old friend."

After settling down, Lao Ji asked Chen Xing for leave, and Chen Xing naturally would not disagree.
Chapter completed!
