Chapter 408 10,000,000 Spirit Crystals
With five million employees and countless visitors from all over the world, even the expansive Qingyun Building couldn't accommodate everyone. Otherwise, it would affect the comfortability. Lin Yun would never allow that.
A week ago, Lin Yun had already deployed construction robots to erect four more Qingyun Buildings around the vicinity.
Under the watch of millions of people, these four Qingyun Buildings rapidly ascended. In just four days, each building had over seven hundred floors completed. The countless posts shared online by these witnesses left the world astounded.
As a result, countless people from all over the world flocked to see the rapid construction of the Qingyun Buildings or take a glance at their luxurious interiors.
The original Qingyun Building with over eight hundred floors was renamed as Qingyun No.1. The four new buildings were named Qingyun No.2, Qingyun No.3, Qingyun No.4, and Qingyun No.5 respectively.
Each building was capable of catering to the needs of a million people. However, population growth was happening at such a speedy rate that rolling out eight more Qingyun Buildings was necessary just shortly after the completion of the first four. Find adventures on empire
As Lin Yun had originally envisaged, Qingyun No.1 sat in the center, while the structures numbered two to five occupied the four corners. The new eight buildings were again constructed around this central concept, forming a pattern reminiscent of the Bagua diagram.
However, these eight buildings were not inferior in height to No.2 through No.5. They were only slightly shorter than No.1, giving the arrangement of the thirteen buildings a harmonious sense of balance.
The construction of these new eight Qingyun Buildings took even less time—only three days in total. This was due to Lin Yun's recent acquisition of a new production line for robots from the Cosmic Trading System, which had greatly increased the number of construction robots.
The production line capable of producing robots with the strength of Dark Strength martial artists cost a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, and Lin Yun had already purchased one. The robots produced by it were far more efficient than any he had previously bought.
The thirteen Qingyun Buildings could comfortably accommodate fifteen million people. Even major world-class cities such as Shen City and Shanghai might not have a central area that could do the same.
How many migrant workers and designers, and how many years had cities like Shen City and Shanghai taken to reach their current scales?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
In contrast, Lin Yun achieved this in just over ten days, emphasizing the allure of technology!
During these days, Lin Yun did not only construct thirteen Qingyun Buildings. He also built various transportation facilities which were crucial. The integrated skybridge and high-speed hover car traffic system ensured smooth commuting around the Qingyun Buildings.
Additionally, he included a plethora of entertainment and living facilities, and amenities to make life in the Qingyun Buildings more comfortable and dreamlike.
Control over the outflow of these amenities and facilities was strictly enforced by Lin Yun. He allowed their promotion to the outside world, but prevented their distribution to outsiders, stirring up curiosity in people worldwide to visit the place.
On the day when the Qingyun smartphones went on sale, merchants from all over the world managed to buy thirty million units and placed orders exceeding one billion units.
The quality of these Qingyun smartphones exceeded those that Lin Yun had previously sold in Huaxia and they came in several tiers. The cheapest one was a thousand Huaxia Currency per unit and the most expensive was thirty thousand Huaxia Currency per unit.
The aim was to ensure that people from all walks of life could afford a Qingyun smartphone.
On that single day, Qingyun Company received an astronomical total payment in Huaxia currency that equated to over a trillion Huaxia Currency—a daunting figure.
This amount of money was earned without Lin Yun paying any tax to the Indian government. Despite this, the Indian government dared not raise the matter but instead was pleasantly surprised by the revenue generated from the various merchants who came to India to do business and stayed in their territory.
They never expected that having Qingyun Company in India would benefit them so greatly. Even though Qingyun Company didn't pay them any taxes, the income derived from other businesses exceeded what some of the highest-grossing Indian companies earned combined.
This was quite normal, otherwise tax-free policies wouldn't be employed to attract big enterprises. Even without paying taxes, these businesses bring innominate benefits that outweigh the lost tax revenue.
The impact of Qingyun Company was greater than the Indian government could ever imagine. Coupled with the transportation infrastructure established by Qingyun Company, the financial state of the Indian government has considerably improved. Some senior Indian officials even started contemplating on how they could further increase their revenue in future.
"Now, I have ten million Spirit Crystals..."
Standing by the huge floor-to-ceiling front window of the top floor of Qingyun No.1 Building, Lin Yun watched the bustling crowd outside and suddenly smirked, saying lightly.
Spirit Crystals were the currency he valued the most.
Ten million Spirit Crystals—a terror-inducing figure. Originally, at the rate of resource collection, Lin Yun couldn't have gathered so many Spirit Crystals so quickly.
However, Lin Yun first spent five hundred thousand Spirit Crystals on a resource collector to boost the collection efficiency by fifteen times. After that, he spent a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals on purchasing a resource detector, which managed to scan the entire ocean floor for resources within a day.
Even after already having spent three million Spirit Crystals on purchasing three robots depicting martial artists masters in the Domain Realm named Lin Zhou, Lin Hong, and Lin Huang; one million Spirit Crystals on a surveillance device from a level six civilization that could monitor the earth closely and even other planetary systems; and a hundred thousand Spirit Crystals on enhancing his Tai Chi Fist to the peak level; and another hundred thousand on elevating his mental strength to an upper fourth level strength, Lin Yun still had ten million Spirit Crystals.
The fact that he mastered Tai Chi Fist and elevated his mental strength to a higher fourth level had enhanced his understanding of various martial techniques, thus, accelerating his internal strength.
Lin Yun had planned to start learning martial arts from Earth, and now that his spirit crystals were increasing rapidly, it was just the right time to start.
Baji Fist, Baguazhang, Wing Chun, Seven Injuries Fist, Twelve Way Bullet Leg, Little Li's Flying Dagger, Golden Bell Shield, etc., Lin Yun had selected more than fifty types of martial arts...
Lin Yun found that these Earth martial arts were really suitable for him to practice. Originally, Lin Yun only intended to learn about a dozen or so, then he planned to learn more than thirty, later on, he increased it to over fifty!
These martial arts from Earth were eye-opening and kept increasing the number of martial arts he wanted to learn!
In the end, when he discovered that learning new martial arts could no longer give him more insights, he stopped such actions. The remaining martial arts, as he saw, were mostly repetitive or similar to the ones he had already learned, or clearly had no potential!
Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Beiming Divine Skill, these types of martial arts from the novels didn't exist. He was able to find over fifty martial arts that could progress him after learning over two hundred techniques, the Earth's martial arts really surprised him!
As far as he knew, even amongst countless civilizations and countless owners of the Cosmic Trading System, such a situation was rarely encountered!
Such martial arts were not available on the Cosmic Trading System, Lin Yun quickly started learning, spending a lot.
A beginner level martial art cost a hundred spirit crystals, Intermediate Level cost a thousand spirit crystals, Grand Mastery Level cost ten thousand spirit crystals...
Lin Yun gritted his teeth and quickly upgraded all these fifty-plus martial arts to Grand Mastery Level, costing a total of over five hundred thousand spirit crystals!
Afterwards, Lin Yun officially started learning level two martial techniques.
Level two martial techniques were only available to those with Dark Strength, Lin Yun planned to start learning them only after all level one martial techniques reached a certain level, now, more than ten level one martial techniques had reached the peak, the rest of them had all reached the Grand Mastery Level, it was about time to start learning.
To quickly master a level two martial technique at beginner level, it only required around a hundred spirit crystals, which was the same as the amount it took Lin Yun to learn the level one martial techniques on Earth.
On the Cosmic Trading System, Lin Yun carefully selected over a hundred and eighty martial techniques and quickly learned them all... costing just over ten thousand spirit crystals!
Lin Yun found that the quantity of level one martial techniques on the Cosmic Trading System was substantial. Though there were also many level two martial techniques, compared to level one, there were significantly fewer!
Simultaneously, after quickly learning some level two martial techniques, Lin Yun noticed that the content of level two martial techniques was more profound. Each of them contained many concepts of level one martial techniques. Hence, he didn't have to learn as many level two martial techniques as he did for level one!
Over a hundred and eighty level two martial techniques, he had tried to find as many possible useful level two martial techniques!
Based on this situation, perhaps, when he starts learning higher-level martial techniques, he won't have to learn that many!
Lin Yun thought to himself.
Lin Yun didn't quickly learn them to the Intermediate Level, he planned to study it for a while before quickly learning to a higher realm!
Simultaneously, some level two martial techniques from Earth were also being learned!
Totaling over ten!
Among them was the Intermediate Tai Chi Fist... the Intermediate Tai Chi Fist was a level two martial technique.. Lin Yun quickly learned it, familiarized himself with this martial technique and then, quickly learned it to the peak realm!
Lin Yun believed that this could potentially be a key martial technique, so learning it to the highest realm first would be very beneficial to his learning of other martial techniques!
Quickly learning each Earth level two martial technique required a thousand spirit crystals, Lin Yun quickly learned over ten, costing a total of over ten thousand spirit crystals. Learning the Intermediate Tai Chi Fist to the peak realm cost eleven million one hundred thousand spirit crystals for this one martial technique.
A million spirit crystals could buy a Domain Realm strength robot, a robot with Domain Realm strength could sweep across super organizations from various countries... just to learn one level two martial technique...
Looking at this, it seemed insane.
However, if you knew that many Grandmaster level Huajin practitioners from Huaxia, seldom learned Basic Tai Chi Fist to the Peak Level, they possibly only had a basic understanding of Intermediate Tai Chi Fist.
Even if they did learn it, most were just beginners, a small number might've learned it to the Intermediate realm, even the founder might have only reached the Grand Mastery realm, you might not feel the same way.
A Grandmaster level Huajin practitioner who has learned Intermediate Tai Chi Fist to the peak realm could normally confront an opponent two levels higher, an early stage Huajin could battle against a late stage Huajin, a mid-stage Huajin could fight against a peak stage Huajin.
This was in the early stages, it may seem not worthwhile, but the significance is much greater later on...
Many things can't just consider the early stages, a skyscraper rise from a flat ground, now was the time to lay the foundation, Lin Yun could still spend spirit crystals to consolidate, a million spirit crystals seemed terrifying, but after reaching a certain level, it would be impossible to make up for it.
Could you bring down a built building and rebuild it? What would be the point of that?
Anyway, although Lin Yun was very reluctant, he still did it.
A million spirit crystals, he could still afford it for now.
What do you think?
