During his coma, it was this little creature who ceaselessly nourished his sea of consciousness with her Spiritual Energy.
Having undergone countless rebirths, Nova seemed to have concentrated all of her beauty into this present life.
Only after he had finally calmed Nova’s emotions did Bai E sit up and look towards his teammates in the carriage, "How’s the situation?"
"We’re already on our way to the ruins of the small town." You, sitting in the front passenger seat, was the first to reply, "We’re scouting ahead, with a fully loaded convoy behind us, including vehicles and teams from Black Street and the small town, and everyone is intact. As for the loot... we haven’t tallied it yet, but as per your initial request, we emptied out all the visible ’Computing Power Resources,’ rare minerals, and any movable small machineries and machine tools."
Many creations of smart machinery pose usage barriers for humans; without skilled technicians to modify them, they are difficult to put into immediate use.
However, purely production-oriented machine tools and equipment are not fundamentally different from those used by humans, making them not particularly difficult to decrypt and use.
"That’s good," said Bai E with a nod, relieved to have accomplished a significant offensive, and of course, to reap the benefits in one go.
Apart from the Computing Power Resources needed for his personal use, only those iron machine tools from the smart machinery’s creations capable of producing different parts were truly useful for Li Ming Town.
Even though he already possessed advanced technologies like Fission Field Generators and concentrated energy bullet manufacturing processes, Li Ming Town still had to start from the basics and work up step by step.
While speaking, Bai E’s body swayed with the movement of the carriage, then he suddenly fell silent.
His Spiritual Energy, having broken through substantially, allowed for a clearer perception of the outside world, and his keen Spiritual Energy relayed back a peculiar sensation.
...
Concentrating his mind, Bai E followed the fleeting sensation to explore, and so he discovered several "watchful" gazes.
They were watching, not admiring.
With a threat?
Bai E picked up the Compound Bow placed by his side, casually opened the sunroof inside the vehicle, and flipped out.
Without even glancing in the direction of the target, he drew the bow and released the arrow.
"Whoosh!" The arrow buried into the ground, tearing through the black leather.
Watching the finely made steel arrow with its fletching trembling by his side, the black leather-clad warrior who had been following the convoy left and right was shocked, and his pursuit steps became hesitant.
The other party had noticed them!
This arrow was a warning!
Remembering the opponent’s ferocious achievement of single-handedly annihilating the Smart Machinery Factory, even the warrior who had undergone numerous surgeries and whose physical strength was beyond that of a human couldn’t help but feel a sincere tremor in his heart.
"Stop chasing," said the leading warrior, waving his hand to stop his teammates, his tone solemn, "Go back and report to the doctor; we are not enough to confront him."
...
With the awakening of Bai E, there were no more disturbances along the way.
It’s challenging to live in the wilderness for long in this era, but when someone as strong as Bai E leads the way, as long as one avoids the forbidden areas deliberately, the wilderness isn’t that dangerous after all.
Seeing the distant convoy returning, the three players guarding the entrance to the town were overjoyed.
In the few days since the adults had left Li Ming Town, they had each made progress in their fields and couldn’t wait to showcase them to the adult.
The off-road vehicle stopped in front of a fence surrounded by wooden railings, and as Bai E jumped down from the vehicle, he was greeted by the smiling faces of Yafei and the brothers Wang Wenbo and Wang Wenyan.
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
"The town has developed quite well during these days," they said.
Bai E glanced over the quietly standing row of apartment buildings in the distance.

The exterior walls hadn’t been painted yet, but the basic structure was essentially complete.

The old asphalt roads had also been cleared, leaving behind a standard for posterity amidst the ravages of time.
All things considered, the place now looked somewhat like a residential area of a town.
"Of course!" Wang Wenbo gestured towards the distance, "We have basically finished the reconstruction of the residential area, and these past two days, we’ve been moving most of the people to the steel production plant to build infrastructure. By the way, my lord, did the equipment arrive this time? As long as we have the equipment, the steel plant won’t take long to start production."
They did have some steel left by the adults, but building an entire production factory required more than just steel.
Many places needed precise parts to be connected, something they couldn’t just conjure by hand.
"They’ve arrived," said Bai E, a smile on his lips as he looked behind him.
The heavy convoy slowly rose from the distant horizon, weighed down so much that even the wheels of the fully loaded vehicles appeared deflated, making the journey noticeably slow and labored.
"Have someone help unload and then hurry up with the production," Bai E said, patting Wang Wenbo on the shoulder and feeling extremely satisfied with the players’ execution.
One day in this world is just one day, but for players, everything in the game feels like it’s in fast forward, with one day used as if it were ten, planning their time with meticulous care.
Leaving these infrastructure tasks to the players is quite reassuring.
"Understood, my lord!" The Wang brothers shouted, their bodies instantly darting out.
This type of infrastructure construction also allowed them to experience the alternative thrill available in the game.
