Chapter 538 New Talent, The Origin of Water!
Three days later, inside the city lord's mansion.
"Brother, the more than 1,000 rooms in the newly built Dragon Gate Inn Building No. 3 are full again!"
The Longmen Inn now houses more than 8,000 people!
The number of waiters alone needed to serve these people is in the hundreds.
Relying on our own people is clearly not enough...
Moreover, once the population of Longcheng exceeded ten thousand, the water supply began to suffer.
The red-haired girl looked at Xiao Yu, shrugged with a wry smile, and said...
Just as Chu Ling Shuang said, there are still many people who want to live permanently in Longcheng.
With the slime itself present in Dragon City, there should be no shortage of water.
Didn't you see the City of Ten Thousand Beasts and the City of Ruins? Can a single third or fourth-tier slime really supply an entire city?
But Dragon City is completely different!
Because the slime clones in other cities are only used to purify water for drinking!
The slimes of Dragon City are meant to supply millions of plants and vegetables.
Plants consume far more water than humans do.
Not to mention, slimes need to provide bathing water for tens of thousands of people, which is also a huge amount of water!
Therefore, Dragon City consumes at least a thousand times more water than the City of Ruins every day!
The massive amount of water consumed every day is all purified by these tiny slimes!
“We don’t have enough waiters, we can hire people in the Mechanized City.” Xiao Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking calmly. “However, there’s no rush. We can talk about it when we leave the Mechanized City. There are more important things to do right now.”
"Okay, what about the water source? Should we conserve water?" Honglian asked again.
Little Shi Yi was incredibly cute, and all the girls adored him.
Seeing how it takes care of everyone in the city lord's mansion every day and also purifies a huge amount of water, Honglian felt a little sorry for it.
If you told someone that Longcheng was experiencing a water shortage because of people using water for bathing, you would be absolutely scolded!
"Water source? Little Shi Yi is really working too hard." Xiao Yu nodded and gave a wry smile.
He opened the panel directly and looked at the data.
[Energy Points Balance: 174724897!]
Although he lost over 30 million in the battle against the beast tide, he still gained over 130 million!
In addition, those three thousand people exchanged all the energy stones, which then returned to Xiao Yu's pocket!
"Evolving the Earth Dragon Turtle to the tenth rank is not something that can be done in a short time. Fortunately, we have enough energy stones now, so let's evolve the Slime first to make up for it."
It takes 10 billion energy stones for the Earth Dragon Turtle to evolve to the tenth tier!
Moreover, once it evolves to the tenth rank, it consumes at least tens of millions of energy stones every day!
Therefore, the evolution of the Earth Dragon Turtle cannot be rushed for the time being.
Xiao Yu had previously used the power of purification when he fought against a ninth-tier monster.
However, the purification power of the eighth rank is clearly insufficient against the ninth rank monsters.
Now, the eighth-order slime also needs to supply water to millions of plants and tens of thousands of people.
Although, with the slime's strength, it is perfectly capable of handling it.
However, with such a high workload, it is indeed quite tiring.
If the population of Dragon City continues to increase, the slimes will eventually be unable to cope, so they might as well evolve ahead of time.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu summoned the slime.
"Shii Shii!" The little guy excitedly jumped into Xiao Yu's arms.
"What a good boy!" Xiao Yu patted the little guy affectionately, feeling a little ashamed.
The little guy's workload is off the charts every day, and he has to split his efforts into many other tasks.
However, little Shii was always extremely well-behaved and loved by everyone.
With this in mind, he immediately gave the system the command: "Evolve!"
[Ding! 100 million energy points consumed! Slime evolves to Tier 9! Water Elemental Power talent upgraded, evolving into Water Origin!]
[Ding! Copying Slime - Water Essence! Fusion in progress... Fusion complete.]
Just like before, the size of the slime remains basically unchanged when it evolves.
Outsiders wouldn't even be able to tell that it has already advanced to the ninth rank!
As long as Xiao Yu can cleanse his senses, the slime will undergo another transformation.
"The origin of water?" Xiao Yu pondered carefully, and was overjoyed.
While both involve controlling water sources, the power of the source of water is clearly an upgraded version.
Previously, if Xiao Yu wanted to control someone's blood, he had to injure the other person first, just like Xing Lan. But now, he felt that as long as someone's strength was lower than his, he could directly control their blood with a thought.
It causes the opponent's blood to flow backward, crippling them instantly! It can even cause them to die from a blood rush to their heart!
It also makes controlling the water element in the air, as well as the water sources of the earth and rivers, much easier.
With the source of water, the slime's strength will increase at least tenfold! Not to mention the current Dragon City, even if Dragon City expands further and the population increases several times over, the slime will still be no problem!
After assigning the slime to purify more water sources, Guren went off to do her work.
After lunch, Xiao Yu found Xing Lan and asked, "How are the 'Journey to the West' storybooks selling lately?"
"Brother-in-law, Journey to the West is now way more popular than Investiture of the Gods and Battle Through the Heavens!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's question, Xinglan immediately put down what she was doing and excitedly said, "So many readers are urging for more updates! When are you going to add more chapters, brother-in-law?"
The novel *Journey to the West* has 100 chapters.
The story tells of Tang Sanzang and his three disciples, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, along with the White Dragon Horse, who went through eighty-one tribulations before finally obtaining the Buddhist scriptures.
We've been updating for a few days now, and we've only just finished telling the first phase of the story.
That is, Sun Wukong's origins and the process of his havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
The main text hasn't officially started yet, but the world of gods and monsters depicted in the book, the intricate stories and human relationships, and the brilliance of the stories are all breathtaking and astonishing.
Therefore, it's perfectly normal for it to outperform other books.
Although Xinglan, the owner of the cold drink shop, no longer personally oversees operations.
But I still make time to check it out every day.
Every time she goes there, waiters and readers urge her to update her work.
"Don't rush, this novel will become the literary pillar of Longcheng in the future, so it must be polished carefully. Moreover..." Xiao Yu chuckled and said calmly, "I also plan to adapt this novel into a stage play, and there will be special background music."
Wasn't the reason he created Journey to the West so that he could adapt it into a stage play?
However, compared to online novels like Battle Through the Heavens, which often have millions of words.
Journey to the West is only a few hundred thousand words long. If it were updated quickly, it could be completely updated in a month.
But with such a grand novel, Xiao Yu felt there was no need to rush; he had to perfect everything he did.
"It's going to be adapted into a stage play? And there's even a special soundtrack?" Upon hearing this, Xinglan's eyes lit up instantly. She immediately grabbed Xiao Yu's arm and said excitedly, "Brother-in-law! Play it for me quickly!"
She loves every song her brother-in-law writes.
"Well, I'll make some new instruments later and play them for you tonight."
After seeing the blue-haired girl off, Xiao Yu went to the city lord's warehouse.
On the night of the full moon, Dragon City and various forces joined forces to kill 20,000 ferocious beasts.
Now, most of the high-quality ferocious beast materials are in Xiao Yu's hands.
