Green pothos, in the chief executive's office, Qiao Ba sat at his desk in strict clothes, listened carefully to the reports of the chief officers of the ordnance department, the logistics department, and the smelting department, and flipped through several materials in front of him from time to time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In front of him were layers of materials, all of which were documents waiting for approval from various departments. Since Lin Xiao promulgated the law, the huge ruling system of pothos has been quickly urged, and all departments have accelerated the progress of their work, for fear that they will be held back by their own mistakes.

This also made Chopper, as the chief administrator, busy for a while, with a large number of documents waiting for him to sign.

"Chief Qiao, there are only sixty craftsmen in our Ordnance Department, but we have undertaken the task of manufacturing thousands of Black Iron Kai Armor and Battle Blades. It took three days of overtime to make dozens of pieces. There is a serious shortage of manpower!"

"Yes, our smelting department is responsible for mining and smelting, and the overall construction was fine and manpower was sufficient before. But now, with people divided into various departments, it's hard for us to complete the task. ”

"Chief Qiao, our logistics department is also understaffed, you see..."

The heads of the three departments are constantly complaining, hoping that Chopper can allocate more manpower to him and unite to ask Chopper for people.

"Bang!"

"TMD! They all come to ask Lao Tzu for people, where can I go to get people for you! Now there is still an idler in the whole pothos? If you see that I am suitable, you can get me to you, it is really not good, there is still a rabbit in the city!

Chopper was upset by the repeated bombardment of the three, and exploded directly, reprimanding them with a slap of scolding, and bursting into foul language one after another.

No wonder Chopper is angry, this is already the third wave of people who have come to ask for people, and now the pothos lacks nothing, there is a shortage of people, a serious shortage of people!

To the northeast of the pothos, where the original black iron concentrate was located, is now surrounded by a large fortress and designated as a forbidden land.

In the forbidden land, it is divided into three areas: cultivation, collection, and storage, of which the cultivation area is the place where the advanced martial artists rush to the level, and there is a magic circle carved by Lin Xiao using books and pencils, which is urged by several higher-level martial artists to continuously deliver essence to the body of the advanced person to help him successfully advance.

In a secret room in the cultivation area, Lin Xiao was sitting in it, and around it there were several huge pieces of black iron concentrate that were exuding a rich essence, continuously transporting them to Lin Xiao's body.

"Hum!" Suddenly, the golden essence Xuanzhu in Lin Xiao's body stopped rotating, emitting a circle of silver ripples around, guiding the black iron essence qi in the organs, bones, meridians, and blood in his body to converge towards the dantian.

And the black iron essence around it was also constantly rotating around Lin Xiao, and the entire room gradually became extremely dark, as if the dark eternal night was coming.

After accumulating enough black iron essence at the dantian, the golden essence Xuanzhu rotated again, absorbing these essences around him, sometimes like a whirlpool, sometimes like a planet, and sometimes like a long river.

"Compress me!" Feeling the state in his body, Lin Xiao suddenly mobilized his strength and pressed the remaining essence of his body towards the dantian.

"Ding!" A crisp voice sounded, and as Lin Xiao continued to compress, a four-color prismatic crystal outline slowly formed at his dantian, and appeared outside the body, although it was not too clear, but it also made Lin Xiao happy.

This unformed prismatic crystal is the essence crystallization that many martial artists have been ignorant for a long time, and condensing into this thing in the body represents that they are about to enter the ranks of ninth-order martial artists. At that time, whether it is physical strength, strength level, or reaction speed, there will be a qualitative leap.

With the Essence Qi Crystal, the way warriors fight will change dramatically. It will change from relying purely on physical power in the past to outputting the energy in the crystal, and it can be said that every attack is extremely destructive.

If the black bear was here, he would definitely be extremely surprised, because the crystal outline in his body was just an ordinary transparent crystal, while Lin Xiao's was a four-color crystal, and the coercion emitted from it far exceeded that of ordinary crystals.

This is all thanks to the credit of the four-color fruit, just now when Lin Xiao condensed into a crystallized outline, the four-star mark behind him suddenly lit up, injecting the energy of four different colors into the crystal, causing Lin Xiao's unformed crystallization to undergo a mutation.

It is conceivable that in the future battles, Lin Xiao will have such amazing combat power!

Feeling the powerful power coming from his body, Lin Xiao couldn't help but let out a long roar, and his body shook violently, inhaling all the rich black iron essence in the room into his body.

"Oh, that's right! It looks like it's the appointed time today!" Thinking of this, Lin Xiao left the fortress in a hurry, and ordered someone to inform Long Qi, Chopper, and Wuxiong to take people to the city gate to gather.

"Gollum~" Dozens of huge prison carts, pulled by mutant beasts, slowly drove towards the gate of Luluo City, and nearly a hundred slaves were imprisoned in each prison cart.

This is the transport team of the Al Chamber of Commerce, when Ah Da left the pothos, Lin Xiao asked Ah Da and others to buy slaves from all over the country to meet the needs of the construction of the pothos.

Looking at the truckloads full of slaves, Lin Xiao felt both joy and pity in his heart. When these people came to the pothos, they regained their freedom and had a new life, and there were many more slaves who were suffering, and violence, bloodshed, and killing threatened their lives at all times.

"Open the gates!!"

"Crunch~!"

With an order, several large gears dragged the thick iron chains, pulling the metal city gate open from both sides, and the prisoner cars slowly drove into the city under the gaze of Lin Xiao and others.

"Leader Lin, Leader Lin!"

A man of short stature with a bald head, shouting and waving his hands, jumped from the first prisoner car and ran towards Lin Xiao.

This person was none other than Ah Er of the Al Chamber of Commerce, who was running over excitedly at this time, bowing deeply to Lin Xiao, and greeting Lin Xiao and the others with a respectful tone.

"Leader Lin, this is the slave that Ah Da ordered me to send day and night, and there are some machines that the Chamber of Commerce has just developed, Ah Da said that you must be able to use it, so he asked me to bring it!" Ah Da excitedly introduced the situation, since they brought the drawings and parts back to the Chamber of Commerce, it immediately attracted the attention of the senior management of the Chamber of Commerce, and listed these as the top priority and secrets of the Chamber of Commerce.

Ah Da was also received by the president of the Chamber of Commerce because of this, and gave him many privileges that others did not have, which made them swallow their anger for a long time, and instantly felt a sense of raising their eyebrows.

And all of this was given by the allies of the pothos, and it was because Ah Da and others did not first transform the machinery, but first tailored some machinery according to the development needs of the pothos, and purchased a large number of slaves to teach the use and maintenance methods, and then sent the pothos.

"I'm not mistaken, Mr. Ah Da is really a man who keeps his promises!" Hearing Ah Er's story, Lin Xiao nodded with satisfaction, which was of great significance to him.

After all, with this kind of ally, the pothos will no longer have to worry about all kinds of trivial matters in the future, and the Al Chamber of Commerce will provide immeasurable convenience on the road to the development of the pothos.

"Leader Lin, if you don't have anything special to explain, then please sign for the goods, and I'll go back!"

"Well, go back and thank Mr. Ah Da for me. Also, please buy as many slaves as you can, I'm in dire need of manpower here!"

"No problem! Wrap it up on us, Chief Lin, farewell!" With that, Ah Er organized the personnel to unload the slaves and machinery, and then led the team away.

Looking at the list provided by Ah Er, Lin Xiao and the others almost jumped with joy!

"There are more than 5,000 slaves, including 2,000 fifth-order martial artists, 300 sixth-order martial artists, 30 seventh-order martial artists, 2,000 blacksmiths and technicians, and more than 500 peasants and laborers!"

"Three sets of large-scale forging production machines, five sets of medium-sized metal smelting equipment, and thirty sets of medium-sized transportation tractors!"

"From today onwards, it is necessary to deploy more troops, accumulate more grain, speed up the manufacture and storage of all kinds of ordnance, increase grain production and procurement, comprehensively strengthen training, and expand armaments!"
