Chapter 584: Chapter 584: Base Update
Twenty minutes later, everyone returned to the meteorite crater.
Some were farther away, so they came back a little later.
Everyone was quite excited to see Xu Yi.
During this time, they worked during the day and trained in Xu Yi’s three cultivation techniques at night.
It’s safe to say they admired Xu Yi even more now.
"How is everyone doing here?"
Looking at the people below, full of energy, Xu Yi was quite satisfied. It seemed everyone was doing well. Nevertheless, he still needed to ask.
"Very well. We eat well, sleep well, and no longer need to worry about fierce beast attacks." Gong Bin stepped forward and answered loudly. In his group, he was only second to Cheng Jie and Liu Li.
So before he spoke, others generally wouldn’t.
Cheng Jie and Liu Li were also not suitable to respond because they were Xu Yi’s confidantes. If they answered, it might seem a bit autocratic.
Gong Bin was aware of this.
However, Xu Yi actually hadn’t thought that much about it.
There was no problem if Cheng Jie and Liu Li answered, autocratic or not.
Xu Yi didn’t want any brainless democracy.
He would rather be autocratic than engage in anything else.
Here, power meant having a voice. Without power, you shouldn’t make a fuss.
Those who have no power and still demand rights, benefits or welfare can be directly fed to the fierce beasts.
Such people do not contribute to the advancement of human civilization at all.
"The cancer of civilization" is a term coined for such people.
They create no value, yet need to be fed by the fruits of labor and hard work from others.
Before, Xu Yi had no way to deal with people like this.
But in this new world, Xu Yi could determine their life and death.
Fortunately, none of these situations developed among those in Base Alpha.
Xu Yi then asked, "Among you, who has already learned to use Mountain Shake? If there is, raise your hand."
If anyone has learned it, it indicates good talent, and Xu Yi could take them along to continue cultivating at the borders of level 5 and 6 Fierce Beast territories.
No one raised their hand.
"Cheng Jie, Liu Li, neither of you has learned it?" Xu Yi asked, glancing at Cheng Jie and Liu Li.
Cheng Jie and Liu Li awkwardly shook their heads, feeling they had let Xu Yi down. They assumed the rest of Xu Yi’s group must have mastered it.
"It seems your progress is indeed a bit slow. I have another cultivation method here called the Spiritual Meditation Method, which I can teach you. Cheng Jie, you first, the others line up." After Xu Yi finished talking, he sat down cross-legged.
Though, Xu Yi was not sitting cross-legged on the ground but was floating in mid-air.
"Relax yourself and close your eyes." After saying this, Xu Yi placed his hand on Cheng Jie’s forehead and transmitted the memory of the Spiritual Meditation Method to her.
This process only took five minutes.
Then it was Liu Li’s turn, followed by Gong Bin.
There were a total of 38 people in the base, so Xu Yi spent less than 4 hours to transmit the memory of the Spiritual Meditation Method to everyone.
After completing this, Xu Yi sent Cheng Jie and Liu Li to the house built by Gong Bin.
Currently, that house served as Cheng Jie and Liu Li’s residence, and others did not have the right to enter.
"Xu Yi, have some tea. This is the tea you brought." Liu Li brewed a pot of tea and offered some snacks to Xu Yi.
These things were, of course, given to them by Xu Yi, but Cheng Jie and Liu Li hesitated to consume them.
Moreover, after receiving notification from the Spirit Race, they were even more reluctant to use them up.
They didn’t need to venture to new challenge points since Xu Yi or others could return to the base any time. Then, they could use these for hospitality.
"How are you doing here, have you gotten used to it?" Xu Yi asked with some concern.
"I’m quite used to it. I feel at ease here; plus, planting vegetables every day gives me a deep sense of satisfaction," Liu Li said happily, because back in her village she did farm work every day.
Besides, doing agricultural work here wasn’t as grueling, as constantly using telekinesis was actually a form of training.
"I prefer staying at the base to running around. There are lots of things to do here, which I really enjoy," Cheng Jie said with a smile, as it genuinely reflected her feelings.
She had already completely moved on from the shadow of her husband’s death.
Now, she just wanted to create a good living environment for her family on Spirit Blue Star.
"I’m glad you like it. If you both wish to continue with new challenges, I’ll take you away." Xu Yi looked at them, wanting to know if they truly wished to stay, or were just executing his orders.
"I want to stay at the camp. I think this camp could be transformed into a small town," Liu Li said, taking out her tablet.
She had some work experience from construction sites, doing two years as a nanny for an engineer, and felt designing a housing complex herself was quite fulfilling.
Xu Yi had left a lot of materials, so she took time to look through them at night and made a design drawing herself.
She thought that if they could build according to her design, it would be fantastic.
"I share Liu Li’s opinion; this place suits us better. Constant battle wears me out a bit, so I want to stay and do something worthwhile," Cheng Jie expressed. She truly felt that killing wasn’t quite suitable for her; she was more adept at management and logistics support.
Xu Yi nodded, took Liu Li’s tablet, and glanced at her design.
Although it was a bit rough, many details were clearly marked.
Xu Yi handed the tablet back to Liu Li and said, "The design is nice. You can build it according to your design. You two can communicate and decide here. You both are in charge of this base, do whatever you see fit. If anyone disobeys your orders, you may punish them. If someone commits a grave mistake that requires execution, do not hesitate. Remember, you still have control over the level 5 peak Fierce Beasts."
Cheng Jie and Liu Li exchanged a glance and then nodded.
They had initially thought Xu Yi was a very kind person, but now they realized they had somewhat misunderstood.
Xu Yi was absolutely decisive and ruthless.
The level 5 peak Fierce Beasts were not just meant to protect the camp’s safety, but also to intimidate the failures within the camp.
Then, Xu Yi took out 11 Strawberry Telekinesis Fruits and handed them to Cheng Jie and Liu Li.
"These are Strawberry Telekinesis Fruits, which can enhance telekinesis cultivation. They are much more effective than the redberry telekinesis fruits you’ve had before. You each get two, and the rest you can distribute as you see fit."
"Additionally, these are seeds. See if you can grow telekinesis fruits from them. If these can be cultivated, it’d be tremendously beneficial. With these Strawberry Telekinesis Fruits, human cultivation speed would increase significantly. So, don’t plant them all at once; try growing a few initially, evaluate their growth, and then plant the rest." With that, Xu Yi handed over 29 telekinesis fruit seeds to Cheng Jie and Liu Li.
They carefully secured the telekinesis fruits and seeds as if they were treasures.
Then, Cheng Jie opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something.
