2317 Back on the Right Track
Since Lin Yuan had changed Qin Lun and Qin Yu’s lives by taking them from the small store they ran, he would have to be responsible for them to the end.
Besides Qin Yu’s leadership talent and Qin Lun’s business acumen, both of them were geniuses who had awakened their beast patterns and thus had an advantage over regular spirit qi professionals when it came to combat.
Since the Azure Federation was one of the three major federations where beast patterns were the measure of power, Qin Lun and Qin Yu would definitely be able to become Sky City’s generals as long as they continued down the right track.
Lin Yuan stored Blackie away when they were about ten kilometers away from Thick Soil City.
Liu Jie summoned four small Lonely Night Hurricane Moths, which continued carrying the group the rest of the way to Thick Soil City’s gates.
The Lonely Night Hurricane Moths had transformed after being blessed by the Emperor Core of All Insects.
The Hurricane Owlet Moths had been about the size of an adult’s palm. But the Lonely Night Hurricane Moths could shrink to the size of fingernails and control wind elements to easily pull the group ten kilometers.
While they were flying, the Lonely Night Hurricane Moths would adjust the height based on the geographical terrain.
The thrill of moving swiftly at the same height and visual perception of walking was much more exciting than riding on Blackie’s back.
Moving to the gates using the Lonely Night Hurricane Moths would not only uphold Lin Yuan’s rules but would still allow them to reach their destination quickly.
When they were three kilometers away from the gates, Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, and the rest saw the endless stream of people entering the city.
Besides its main gates, there were also 1,444 side gates that could be used to enter Thick Soil City. All of the side gates were open at 4:00 a.m. and closed at 12:00 a.m. each day.
The population of Thick Soil City was so large that there was not much room for people to move even in such an expansive space. When one used public transport, they could only travel within ten kilometers of their position.
The side gates acted as boundaries for the zones of action within the city, effectively separating the billions of people living there.
Almost 1,000,000 people guarded each gate, and together they formed 1,444 main streets.
The main streets were further divided into side streets, which in turn branched out into smaller roads.
This well-structured network facilitated the transportation of resources and contributed to maintaining peace in the city.
If any person committed a crime in Thick Soil City, they would be heavily punished once they were caught.
Thick Soil City’s clear roads that were connected to the side gates caused the number of people walking through the main gate to decrease significantly.
Although the citizens of Thick Soil City were allowed to use the main door as well, the main gate was mainly used by merchants who were transporting resources.
In order to ensure that the number of resources in Thick Soil City remained sufficient, there were carts from the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce entering and exiting Thick Soil City almost all day.
The Diamond fey storage boxes could store much more than Diamond Item-Storing Walnuts could.
Before heading to the marsh world, Lin Yuan had given Listen five of the Soldier Ration Radishes and told him to place them in the five shrines in the city as icons.
Su Yiren and Ta Lei had discussed and built the five shrines for Lin Yuan.
Every federation had different environments and cultures. The ways they offered faith and worshipped were also different.
For example, the Spirit Mother Federation was a kingdom where all faith had to be dedicated to the Spirit Mother
The three federations of the Startling Lines Continent had numerous similarities with the Spirit Mother Federation. They could also use various methods to worship Lin Yuan and offer their faith to him.
Although the Soldier Ration Radishes were newly grown, they could grow thousands of kilograms of leaves a day as long as they were watered with spirit fluids.
The Soldier Ration Radishes grown in the five shrines could keep almost 80,000,000 people full each day.
The way that the food produced in the shrines could sustain the citizens of the city immediately gained the faith of the regular citizens and ensured the city remained peaceful.
The Lonely Night Hurricane Moths stopped on Lin Yuan and Liu Jie’s shoulders.
The guards at the gates had already noticed Lin Yuan’s group and hurried to greet them.
The citizens in Thick Soil City came from the Great Lush, Divine Wood, and Iron Hammer Federations. All of them obtained identity cards when they entered the city, which had to be checked each time they entered and exited the city.
As the City Lord, Ta Lei had designed the identity cards. The first identity card that was made belonged to Lin Yuan, which Su Yiren had delivered to him.
Later, Su Yiren came up with a list of people in Lin Yuan’s group, and Ta Lei made all of their identity cards.
Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Wen Yu all had their own identity cards.
However, Su Yiren had never met Sun Ningxiang before, so the latter did not have her own identity card.
After the guards checked the three identity cards, they looked Sun Ningxiang up and down.
Wen Yu could not help but be impressed by Ta Lei.
From the way that the guards at the gates took their jobs so seriously, it was clear that Thick Soil City was managed extremely well.
Wen Yu took a step forward and said, “She is our friend. Her identity card hasn’t been made yet. But I can leave my identity card here with you as a guarantee. Once her identity card is made, I will retrieve my identity card from you!”
The guards took another look at Wen Yu’s identity card and matched the photo with her face. Once they were certain there were no issues with her identity, one of them said, “I will report this matter. Once your friend obtains her identity card, she can register it at the nearest office. A month later, you can retrieve your identity card from that office.”
After the guards allowed them to pass, the four of them stepped through the gates and walked into the city.
This was the first time Lin Yuan saw carts from the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce driving into the city as a side observer.
After almost a year of development, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was more than qualified to enter the selection for the Radiance Federation’s top faction.
It was the only faction in the Startling Lines Continent that had a chamber of commerce role.
The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce successfully acquired the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.
The carts used by the chamber were pulled by custom-made Light Green Flood Dragon Horses provided by Coiling Dragon’s Valley.
Upon acquiring the Light Green Dragon Horses, the Creation Masters of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce evolved them.
With the chamber’s success and growth, everything was progressing smoothly. Every employee proudly wore a dedicated uniform that symbolized their affiliation with the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.
