Chapter 111 The New Capital and the Orphanage (4K)
Xindu is a city with a very large planned area.
After consulting with Xu Yuan, Wen Anguo and the other two decided to select a site to build a new city.
Instead of modifying the existing holy city.
One reason is that the city is too small.
Indeed, in the eyes of the locals, Santo Dominica is a very magnificent city.
But it doesn't even meet the standards of these modern people.
Limited area, surrounding city walls, densely packed buildings, and chaotic road planning.
Rather than making modifications and being hampered by various constraints, it's better to start from scratch and build a new one.
That would be simpler and have greater development potential.
However, this is only a secondary reason.
The most important reason is that it is easier to establish a new atmosphere in a new place.
Building something from scratch will be more thorough.
It can also create a large number of jobs.
First, establish basic trust through broadcasting, then attract young and strong people from all over the country to come and participate in construction with generous rewards.
During this period, education was used to enlighten the people.
To subtly transform their thinking.
Cultivate their yearning for and sense of identity with the alliance.
Because initial loyalty can be bought with material things, but true loyalty needs to be shaped by conviction.
Next, as long as we continue to expand outward from Xindu as the center, while carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction, we can bring in more and more people and continuously unite them, focusing on those people.
Wen Anguo and his group did not choose to unify the country by force.
Admittedly, there is no force on this island that can rival the Alliance.
However, forcibly unifying the country by force is not a good solution.
Because doing so could very likely lead to many unnecessary conflicts with local residents.
Infrastructure, education, and ideological reform —
These are things that were supposed to be done anyway.
Since that's the case, let's use these things to cultivate a sense of belonging and bring everyone together.
Anyway, the battle on the war-torn mainland remains deadlocked.
The country where the organization is located is unlikely to send a large army.
It's impossible, at least in the short term.
They might not even know what's going on here.
Moreover, the island is not without armed forces.
In fact, not only do they exist, but they are quite powerful.
There are over a dozen abysses, plus Theresa.
This force might be able to sweep through the country where the organization is located.
According to the instructions of those high-ranking members of the organization, the Abyss People are considered high-end combatants on the battlefield of the Warring Continent.
Theresa is far stronger than the Abyss Ones.
One is a half-step fourth-order, and the other is a fifth-order.
Xu Yuan's concern was never about the war-torn continent, but rather the power behind the Dragon Descendants.
His plan was to start from the islands, then expand outwards to conquer the war-torn continent, allowing the steel torrent to grow step by step like a gluttonous snake.
Therefore, it can be said that this island is his base of operations.
Since we currently have sufficient armed forces, there is no need to rush into a military unification.
Instead, a more moderate approach could be taken.
Unification achieved subtly and gradually will minimize potential problems.
This can make the foundation more solid.
When the time is right, we'll announce what's happening on the mainland outside the island and exaggerate the survival crisis.
By then, both internal consensus and external crises will have been achieved.
Everything will fall into place naturally.
The first step in all of this was to build the new capital.
Building a new capital is not just about constructing a city.
When the new capital is completed, the alliance will no longer consist of only Xu Yuan, Wen Anguo, Miliya, and others.
At this time, this vibrant new city is undergoing rapid construction.
A vibrant and energetic atmosphere permeated the air.
This is something you can't see anywhere else on the island.
In a corner of the city, the Alliance Orphanage has already been established.
The orphanage occupies a large area.
It's more like a school than an orphanage.
It houses several apartment buildings with a simple and practical architectural style and clean, bright glass windows.
The exterior walls were painted beige or light blue.
It includes both dormitories and teaching buildings.
Additional facilities such as a playground and gymnasium have also been built.
It was used by Xu Yuan to house the trainees in the organization, as well as the orphans who had not yet had the opportunity to undergo rehab.
He appointed Galatea as the director of the orphanage.
The vice president was Shelley.
In addition, Xu Yuan selected two more people from the Greatswords to serve as managers and assist them.
A classroom on the second floor of Teaching Building No. 1.
Xu Yuan walked into the classroom as the school bell rang.
Hello, students.
"Hello, teacher!"
"Okay, sit down."
""
Standing on the podium, Xu Yuan nodded and continued, "Before class today, I want to commend a few students. They performed very well in the exams a few days ago: Claire, Ilsa, and Susanna—"
He called out the names of ten people and had them come up on stage one by one, then gave them little red flowers.
Then, five more people were called up and asked to come on stage, where they were given small red flowers.
This time it's not about good grades, but about rapid progress.
For a moment, everyone in the class who wasn't called on looked on with envy.
"I hope other students can take them as role models, study hard, and make progress every day."
"However, there's no need to put too much pressure on yourself."
"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses; just do what you can do well."
"Alright, let's begin the lesson."
As Xu Yuan spoke, he opened the laptop on the podium and started operating it casually.
Soon, the projection screen behind him began to display the computer screen in real time.
"Why doesn't the teacher give us lessons himself?"
A student raised their hand and asked curiously.
"As I just said, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and I am no exception. Teaching people to read is not my forte, so I have found someone who is good at it to teach you."
"But why do I feel like it's because the gentleman is lazy?"
Xu Yuan chuckled: "Martha, you can think that way if you want."
"Alright, class is starting, quiet down."
"As usual, read it first, and if you have any questions, we can discuss them after you've finished reading. Then you can ask me your questions."
After saying that, he double-clicked a video file.
That's right—online classes.
After showing them the online class videos, Xu Yuan sat down on the side, near the classroom door.
He glanced at the little crow: "That's not difficult."
Little Crow:
'
'
Isn't that right?
Master, you're cheating!
Cheating is easy, of course!
The video was halfway through the lesson when, suddenly, Ineli's figure appeared at the end of the corridor.
The demonic flesh and blood inside Ineli has been removed.
To everyone's surprise, her strength did not decline; in fact, it increased.
Although the increase was not large, it did rise somewhat.
It seems to be the same situation as Theresa.
Ineli's strength does not come entirely from the flesh and blood of demons, but part of it comes from her bloodline.
Having grown to her current level of strength, the demonic flesh and blood within her body have become impurities.
Impurities that hinder her continued growth.
Therefore, when the impurities were removed, her strength increased rather than decreased, and her demonic power became much cleaner.
Well, judging from her ears, she's probably an elf.
Of course, it's definitely not a pure-blooded elf.
Rather, it harbors a certain elven bloodline.
Without the power of demonic flesh and blood to stimulate the bloodline, it might never manifest in a lifetime.
Cassandra is in a similar situation.
The battle two months ago ended with Cassandra's overwhelming victory.
Once she's fully recovered, her skill level is almost exaggerated.
Especially after adapting to the power of vampires.
Xu Yuan felt that she had likely surpassed the Abyss and reached the fourth level.
In short, the battle ended without any suspense.
At the end of the battle, Cassandra drained Roxanne's blood, saying that her blood tasted like poop, to which Roxanne retorted, "Go eat poop for the rest of your life."
After many years, the feud between the two finally came to an end.
Enelly stepped closer and whispered, "Mr. Xu, Cassandra is back and wants to see you."
"Oh, she has something urgent?"
No, not at all.
"Then let her wait for now, I'm in class."
"it is good."
Irene took her leave first.
Xu Yuan continued teaching the children.
As he said before, watch the online course first, then discuss it, and then ask him questions.
When the bell rang, he stayed a little longer than usual.
Nothing much, I just felt that it wouldn't be complete if we didn't go overtime.
"Alright, get out of class dismissed. Free time."
Xu Yuan waved his hand, dismissing the class.
Many things are still in their infancy, teacher resources are extremely scarce, and the students in this class are only around ten years old.
Therefore, the course schedule is very flexible.
One class in the morning and one class in the afternoon.
The rest of the time is free time.
For older students like Helen and Devi, who are fifteen or sixteen years old, it's much harder.
There are many courses scheduled.
Of course, most of them were online classes.
As for greatsword warriors like Miria, it was even more difficult.
During the day, I have to study with Wen Anguo and others, and travel around. In the evening, I still have to take online classes and study hard to recharge myself. I can only sleep two or three hours a day.
If they weren't superhumans, they really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
However, no one complained or quit.
Although Xu Yuan said that if they lost interest after studying with Wen Anguo and the others for a while, they could quit, they probably treated this as a task.
So even though it was tough, no one quit.
Xu Yuan didn't interfere and let them be.
As for the others—
Sofia and Royal went to participate in the construction of the army.
Alice and Bissie are students who are also learning how to do housework and work as maids.
Inellie didn't have anything she wanted to do.
However, because the experience was different from that in the comics, he did not have the idea of retiring to the mountains.
Currently, she works as a helper for Xu Yuan, doing odd jobs.
Lafayette goes out whenever she has free time, probably searching for Luciela's whereabouts.
Xu Yuan was not optimistic about this.
Once the Abyss One conceals its demonic aura, it becomes very difficult to detect.
The island is three times the size of Japan; it would be virtually impossible for someone to hide there and be discovered.
Unless they reveal their whereabouts themselves.
The fact that Clive and Lucyella have been missing for so long without any news is enough to show that they have changed their ways and are no longer as reckless as before.
With their abilities, as long as they acted cautiously, they could easily eat someone in this agricultural society without being discovered.
For example, they would kidnap someone when they were alone, eat their internal organs, and then bury the rest in the wilderness.
For example, finding a secluded village.
In short, once a new order is established, the reasonable course of action is to use surveillance and a large-scale manpower tactic to search for them.
Before that, unless relevant clues were obtained, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, with very little hope.
Of course, Xu Yuan understood Lahua Na's thoughts, so he did not stop her.
Those former No. 0.1s are busy honing their Ripple skills.
Firstly, this was Xu Yuan's request.
We can't keep relying on Theresa to supply blood, can we?
Among the people under his command, these former No. 0.1s are undoubtedly among the most capable.
Especially after their resurrection, because they gained a stronger and more stable physique, their strength rose to the level of Abyss Warriors.
Cassandra may even have transcended the abyss.
Moreover, there are quite a few of these people.
Only Theresa could take the path of "quality" to supply the life energy they needed.
Others, including Xu Yuan, can only focus on "quantity".
From this perspective, vampires are indeed quite troublesome.
Under normal circumstances, they would constantly attack others.
Or they could create followers, have them attack others, and then absorb the followers' blood.
It's just like a pyramid scheme.
Kars did just that in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2.
He created vampires so that they could drink human blood, and he could then absorb the high-energy blood of these vampires.
However, the crows did not grant them the ability to create familiars.
Under normal circumstances, their only remaining option is to keep attacking others.
After all, it's impossible to attack someone stronger than them.
However, one advantage of Crow's vampire constitution over the original story is that it is not afraid of sunlight or ripples.
Therefore, they can cultivate the Ripple Technique.
The Ripple Technique is a cultivation method that can temper the blood, accelerate the generation of life energy, and replenish what is lost.
Otherwise, Xu Yuan might not have been able to revive so many experts at once.
After all, the cost of providing for it is quite high.
In short, he hoped they could become self-sufficient as soon as possible, so he would go and guide them whenever he had time.
He also spent 640 points to upgrade the [Ripple Breathing Technique] to the Great Perfection level.
All this was so that I could teach them more cultivation techniques and help them improve faster.
Secondly, this is what they themselves want.
After all, they still retain the awareness of being human.
If given a choice, no one would choose to live by sucking blood.
Since mastering the Ripple Technique to a high level could potentially solve the problem of life stealing, they naturally wouldn't slack off.
You could even say he's in seclusion.
Xu Yuan said that if there were any places they wanted to visit, they could go out and see them.
Ripples can be cultivated on the road.
In the end, only three people, including Cassandra, went out.
Everyone else was engrossed in their cultivation.
Everyone has something to do.
Theresa was probably the only one with nothing to do.
They spend their days either sleeping in late, sunbathing, watching TV, or eating snacks.
She was the most relaxed one.
After leaving the classroom, Xu Yuan headed towards the office.
It is not the league's office.
It's just the orphanage's office.
He left the alliance matters to Wen Anguo and Milia, without interfering himself.
At most, I'll inquire about important matters.
In fact, once things settled down here, he planned to go to the war-torn continent.
When he arrived at the office, Cassandra was already waiting. Upon seeing him enter, she stood up and said, "Sir."
