Although the Qianlong Empire is called an empire, it is actually an island nation composed of many islands. Of course, this is the case in most countries because www.biquge.info of the special geography of this planet. After all, the world's largest continent is only one-tenth the size of Asia.

Kyoto of the Qianlong Empire is located on an island in the middle, and this island is called Qianlong Island. In addition to Kyoto, there are four large cities on the island, located in the south, east, west, and west. All four cities have a large port and trade is constant.

Qianlong Island is surrounded by three large islands: Xiuliang, Xianxiang and Yongjing, which are guarded in the center in the shape of the word "product". These four large islands accounted for more than 80% of the land area of the Qianlong Empire. As for the small islands of Chisha, Riquan, and Crystal, there are a total of ten in total, and all of them add up to less than 20 percent.

At this moment, Bai Lingfeng is located in a small port on Qianlong Island. The port is not part of any of the island's four major cities, but rather a township-level seaport where few ships are docked, except for a few fishing boats. Only in such a place can Bai Lingfeng avoid inspection and go to sea directly.

In an inconspicuous place on the dock, Guo Zehai was saying goodbye to Bai Lingfeng. He had already helped Bai Lingfeng contact the smuggling boat, and if nothing else, he should be able to send him out of the empire.

"Hey, I don't have anything to say when I leave, I just hope to see you come back in my lifetime."

Yesterday, he was still thinking about how to train him to become a pillar of the empire, but today he suddenly wanted to help him smuggle out of the country, Guo Zehai felt a little emotional.

"There will be a day." Bai Lingfeng smiled faintly, not caring at all.

"Boy, I haven't given you anything in the past six months that you've been in the academy, and these twenty soul beads are considered a little bit of my heart. Your ship's mother has just been built, and it is only one level, and it is exactly what you need. ”

As he spoke, Guo Zehai took out a small bag and handed it to Bai Lingfeng, and inside was twenty glass beads the size of a ping-pong ball—what he called a soul bead.

"Twenty soul beads? I can't tell you're pretty rich. Bai Lingfeng was slightly surprised.

The value of this thing is not low, a standard one can only be bought with at least one million dragon coins, and twenty is 20 million, for many families, this is a wealth that cannot be earned in a lifetime!

As for what exactly a soul bead is, that's a long story.

What is the most mysterious thing in man? There is no doubt about the soul. For this kind of thing, the scientists of this planet have studied it for thousands of years without making any breakthroughs, until the ship mother appeared.

After the appearance of the first elven battleship, they were surprised to find that this magical strategic weapon was able to absorb the souls of other creatures! Whether human or other creatures, if they are killed, their wandering souls will be absorbed by them and strengthened themselves.

Of course, the soul mentioned here is very different from the soul in the strange story, but it is just a mass of neutral particles left behind after the death of the creature, and it has not yet been discovered to have an autonomous consciousness, let alone become a legendary ghost.

In short, the "soul" here is very different from the soul in the broader sense, or it can be called a mysterious energy left behind by a creature after death.

This kind of energy has not been discovered until the ship mother appears. The so-called soul bead is an artificially created container that can absorb and store this energy.

For now, this kind of energy can only be absorbed by the ship's mother.

When all the ship girls are built, they are only level 1, and they can only advance after absorbing this energy. Most ship girls need to hunt sea beasts themselves to obtain this energy, and only the local tyrant admiral can take this shortcut - buy the soul beads that others have stored.

"It's been four or five years since I became a lieutenant, and it seems that I can also enjoy the treatment of a local tyrant."

Bai Lingfeng didn't say anything polite to Guo Zehai, he directly took the small bag, and then threw it to the Mingxue behind him.

Although Mingxue didn't know what was in the bag, she smelled a hint of her unusual longing, so she immediately hugged the bag tightly in her arms, squinted her eyes and smiled happily.

Seeing this, Guo Zehai couldn't help but remind Bai Lingfeng, "It's better to absorb those twenty soul beads quickly, now you are not as good as before, only that Ming ...... Ming ......"

"Mingxue."

"Yes, Mingxue. You only have her now, it's too dangerous to walk outside, and the value of these soul beads is relatively easy to make people blush......"

"Understood." Bai Lingfeng knew his worries, did not hesitate, and immediately said to Ming Xue, who was still standing there and smirking: "Ming Xue, open that bag and eat all the soul beads inside." ”

"Good!" I don't know if it's because the soul bead is too tempting for her, she didn't even say a word of nonsense, and directly excitedly took out a soul bead from the small bag and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Just absorb the energy inside, don't swallow the soul bead too, I'm still useful for that thing, and it's not nutritious for you." Looking at Mingxue's actions, Bai Lingfeng couldn't help but remind. At this time, Mingxue's behavior was in his eyes, just like eating peanuts without peeling peanut shells, stupid and cute.

"Okay, got it." Mingxue replied as she greedily absorbed the energy. As for the method of absorbing that energy, there is no need to be taught at all, just like a baby who sucks breast milk, it is innate.

Seeing her like this, Bai Lingfeng didn't bother her anymore and continued to talk to Guo Zehai.

But it didn't take long for Bai Lingfeng's Admiral Chip to suddenly feedback a message: Mingxue's level was raised to Lv2!

Although it has only been upgraded by one level, the Mingxue has grown a lot, and many of its attributes have directly doubled!

"I've only just absorbed most of them and I've been upgraded to one level, and it seems that these soul beads are enough for her to reach level 10." Bai Lingfeng glanced at Guo Zehai and was a little moved in his heart.

"Hahaha, of course, I calculated it. The only regret is that these soul beads were originally prepared for the Kurai, but I didn't expect them to be cheaper in the end...... Ming ......"

"It's Mingxue." Bai Lingfeng smiled helplessly, and then said seriously: "Believe me, these soul beads are not wasted on the Mingxue, she will definitely go down in history in the future, and everyone will be impressed!" ”
