Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

now.

After Chen Ye resolved the Blood Gate's territory, he directly received five million strategy points, which were deposited into his account.

Now, Chen Ye has 55 million strategy points, which is the highest in the entire ranking!

Currently, Dawn has only reached 30 million strategy points...

However, it must be said that Dawn must have killed a lot of clowns to reach this level in the underworld.

Chen Ye's sudden acquisition of five million yuan once again caused quite a stir in the comments section.

Many players are curious about why Chen Ye is able to obtain such powerful strategy points; it's simply unbelievable.

This has also made many players fans of Chen Ye.

…………

now.

Chen Ye stayed within the domain and cultivated.

Looking around, countless fish from the spiritual sea swam about in various places around the sacred spring, which was quite eye-catching.

The entire ocean was bathed in a pale blue halo, which was very beautiful and dreamlike, as if it were a sea that only existed in the kingdom of gods.

Do not!
Even in the realm of gods, it would be difficult to find such a sea area; the scenery is simply too beautiful!

"Comprehension of the laws of this sacred spring allows one to possess a different realm. I can even transform a portion of the spirit realm into the laws of this place. The water quality is excellent; drinking it can even benefit one's spirituality."

"Wait... perhaps I can take this water back to Honesty Restaurant and make drinks that will definitely taste amazing!"

Chen Ye's eyes lit up as he thought of something.

Chen Ye tried the water and found it was perfectly safe to drink.

Moreover, after drinking it, it nourishes the spirit and soul, and you will feel a warm sensation between your eyebrows, as if it has a nourishing power.

It tastes indescribably good.

The taste wasn't anything special, but it was particularly refreshing.

If this water were used as a raw material to supply the Chengxin Restaurant, that would be a really good thing.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately crossed the star gate and returned to the interior of the Honesty Restaurant.

This area can still be further developed.

Chen Ye thought for a moment, then used his phone to notify the fox-tailed girl.

[The real expert: "I'd like to ask, could you recommend that engineer from before to me?"]

[Fox-tailed Girl: "Sure, you can just go directly to his place. Their guild is at 990 West Street, which is a bit far from our Longhu Chess Academy, but it'll be quick for you to get there."]

The true mastermind: "Understood."

Chen Ye probably never expected that he would be referred to as a "real big shot" in the Fox Tail Girl's information box.

but.

It's clear that the fox-tailed girl didn't recognize Chen Ye's identity as the real number one on the leaderboard.

After all, it was some time before Chen Ye returned and truly resolved the Blood Gate issue, which is why he received such a massive amount of strategy points as a reward.

So, it was this short interval that prevented the fox-tailed girl from realizing that Chen Ye's true identity was probably much more exaggerated than she had imagined!

After a while.

Chen Ye went downstairs, and at that moment Wang Jing arrived at the door.

"Boss, I'm planning to go to the market town now. There should be plenty of ingredients there that I can trade for. I've already found out the way, so I'll go look for them now."

Wang Jing maintained his憨厚 (honest and simple) expression and smiled.

“No problem, I also have an idea for a certain raw material,” Chen Ye said with a smile.

They went out together, but in different directions.

Chen Ye moved quickly toward No. 990 West Street, taking ten steps in one, while the surrounding scenery rushed past him.

In West Street, where talent abounds, this kind of unexpected way of walking is almost everywhere and is not a rare or unusual thing.

Soon, Chen Ye's figure stopped in front of a guild with a rather grand decoration.

The decoration of this guild's base is quite extraordinary, full of grandeur, and mostly Chinese style, exuding an ancient charm.

Chen Ye walked over.

Upon reaching the entrance, the automatic doors opened to both sides.

At the front of the lobby was a bar counter for greeting guests. A woman dressed in public office uniform greeted guests with a smile:

"Do you need any renovation services?"

"I want to dig out a flowing underground water channel within my shop. Is this feasible?"

Chen Ye had wanted to change the tap water for a long time.

This type of water needs to be purified before it can be used.

Every few days, Chen Ye would use the [Blazing Sun Scroll] to purify the water in the reservoir before it could be used.

Of course.

Wang Jing also possesses the ability to control fire. In short, the water here needs to be carefully burned with flames before it can be used.

However, this method is quite troublesome.

and so.

Chen Ye intends to solve the problem at its root.

It allows one's own water to circulate directly with the water quality within the area.

But this would require a much more sophisticated underground water system to make all of this possible.

to this end.

Chen Ye needs the help of the "Engineers" to excavate an underground space.

"no problem."

Faced with this request, the woman smiled and said, "I'll notify an engineer for you right away."

Soon, the other party picked up the phone at the front desk and dialed a number.

"Only special characteristics are good in this world..."

After a strange melody played, the phone connected moments later, and a rough male voice came through:

"Sister Fang, is there any work coming up?"

"That's right, a customer wants to build a sink system. You should be able to handle that, right?"

"Of course, no problem. We can handle anything here."

"Then please come down here as soon as possible, so as not to keep the guests waiting here for too long."

After the call ended, Sister Fang said with a smile, "Please sit here for a while, sir. An engineer will be here to discuss the manufacturing with you soon."

After speaking, Chen Ye, led by Sister Fang, arrived at a reception area.

The leather sofas here are of excellent quality, and there's a coffee table in front of them, filled with fine tea.

Sister Fang was quick and efficient, clearly someone who had been in charge of this kind of work. She quickly brewed the tea and handed it to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye took a few sips, and his eyes lit up:
"Where did you get this tea?"

I never expected that the players would join West Street and achieve such great development, and that there would be such delicious tea.

Sister Fang smiled and said, "It was created by the Ancient Tea Association. They have excellent tea-making skills and are able to cultivate exceptionally delicious tea in this world. It's all thanks to their unique characteristics."

"The price isn't too expensive. You can usually buy a can of tea for a few hundred copper coins."

"Of course, this is not even the top-grade tea. If you want to buy the highest grade, you need to have a certain relationship with the Ancient Tea Association. They don't sell that kind of tea; it's for internal consumption."

So that's how it is... Chen Ye listened with great interest. He didn't expect there to be an Ancient Tea Gathering. It sounded like a player guild.

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a few more sips, and could indeed tell that the tea was of exceptional quality.

It felt very comfortable to drink.

Including this teapot...

Chen Ye was surprised to see that this teapot possessed a spiritual luster, as if it were imbued with a special quality. It was likely a product of the Ancient Tea Gathering.

The guild's base is titled "The Creator," which is somewhat similar to the "Manufacturing Guild" in that it follows a different path.

It is also a very large company.

It is said that because they were all of good character, they had some contact with the "Manufacturing Association" in the early days.

Thinking of this, Chen Ye continued to confirm:

"Did you have any collaborations with the manufacturing association in your early days?"

Fang Jie immediately smiled in surprise and said, "Yes, it was with the help of the Manufacturing Association that we were able to slowly get started. Our president first had some funds, and then worked at the Manufacturing Association for a period of time. He had a relationship with the president, Tang Wu, that was almost like friends. So when he went out on his own, he received a lot of help, which enabled him to develop the Founders Guild."

I see……

Chen Ye nodded, now having a general understanding of how the Creators' Guild had developed.

They definitely need some early assistance to recover.

To have developed to such a scale is quite an achievement in the entire bizarre era.

It didn't take long.

A man wearing leather armor and carrying a toolbox on his shoulder walked briskly over.

"Hello, my name is Blake, and I am a craftsman. Do you need a sink installed in your shop?" Blake's features were rugged, befitting a worker. His strong, large hands made him look like a qualified craftsman.

Chen Ye smiled and said, "Yes, I do need to open up space, and I hope to use underground space."

“No problem.” Black the craftsman smiled. “This kind of place is supposed to be underground. Now I can go with you to survey the environment and see if there’s anything that can be improved.”

Chen Ye nodded.

Subsequently.

The two strode out of the Founders Guild and walked along West Street back to the "Honest Restaurant" shop.

When Blake saw Chen Ye walk into the "Honest Restaurant," his mouth dropped open in disbelief.
"So... your shop is actually this Honest Restaurant?"

Chengxin Restaurant is famous because it has been established throughout the entire West Street area.

Black the craftsman never expected this...

The job I took on was actually from Chengxin Restaurant!
"Yes, this is the shop. You're not mistaken," Chen Ye said with a smile.

"That would be my honor!"

"I remember Chairman Tang Wu saying that the Honesty Restaurant has been a great help to him. If this restaurant asks us for anything, we must agree to it free of charge!"

"I am excited," said Black the craftsman.

"Is there such a thing?"

Chen Ye hadn't expected the "Manufacturing Association" to arrange something like this.

But Chen Ye did not accept this, shaking his head and saying:

"No matter what, I'm hiring you to help, so I still have to pay you all the money. I can't let you come here to work for free. Even if the Manufacturing Association says so, it doesn't count. I have to pay you."

Black the craftsman opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but seeing Chen Ye's confident expression, he gave up. He knew that Chen Ye was a difficult person to persuade, and besides, if such a large project was undertaken without any reward, it would be difficult to tell others about it when they returned to the Creators' Guild.

After all, the chairman had mentioned this while bragging to him.

It may not count.

"Okay, then I'll go into the shop first and check out the environment for you, see if there's anything that could be improved."

Black the craftsman followed Chen Ye into the restaurant.

He found a corner and said, "This place is suitable for carving out a staircase to enter the underground space. It won't be too large; just about the size of a staircase will be enough to get in."

“Completely feasible.”

Chen Ye nodded, approving of Black's plan.

Subsequently.

The craftsman Black produced a strange compression turbine machine.

The next second, he gripped the compressor turbine and rammed it into the ground, just like driving a pile.

As it continued to devour everything, the underground passage in front of us opened up into a huge void.

There was a hole large enough for a staircase leading underground, and it was just knocked down without making a sound.

"They actually used spatial abilities to create this space?"

Chen Ye was somewhat surprised.

Many engineers lack the ability to operate in a space system.

Chen Ye recognized that it wasn't that the Black craftsman possessed spatial abilities, but rather that this machine had adopted spatial powers, driven underground, and continuously used spatial devouring to create a new space.

This passage is sufficient to lead underground.

After clearing a stairwell, the figure of the craftsman Black slipped down and continued clearing.

"The groundwater needs to be connected to the Chengxin Restaurant, so we need to leave enough pipes to connect the water to the surface."

After creating a passageway for a water reservoir, the craftsman Black casually wrapped up the underground space.

Soon, layer upon layer of concrete covered the surrounding area, transforming the pitted and uneven landscape into a water room.

However, the water room still looks quite rough.

and so.

The craftsman, Black, installed pipes and created a space for a water storage tank in the area. (End of Chapter)
