Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 695 The construction of the giant city officially begins; the minotaur chieftain is summoned!

Cao Xing continued, "In addition, you don't need to worry about the intensity of the work here being too high or the hours being too long."

"We work a nine-hour workday in our territory."

"Work four hours in the morning and five hours in the afternoon."

"You can use the rest of your time as you please, whether you want to rest or do whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, tens of thousands of staff members below looked bewildered.

“Nine…nine hours?” one of the polar people murmured, his eyes filled with intense disbelief.

Even others thought they had misheard.

After all, there's no such thing as a working hour in this world.

Aside from eating and sleeping, we have to work our hardest all the time.

Even in the territories they had previously in, they worked more than twelve hours a day.

There was no other way; these survivors from Earth had just arrived in this world, and everything was starting anew.

Naturally, we must seize every opportunity for development.

The situation is a little better now.

In the early stages, they would practically use one staff member as two.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "That's right."

"In addition to the nine-hour workday, employees who perform well and demonstrate outstanding work ability will receive special rewards."

"These rewards include some rare foods."

"There is even a heart of power that makes you stronger."

As soon as Cao Xing finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in an uproar!
The staff members exclaimed in surprise!
"The Heart of Power?! Did I hear that right?!"

"My God! Isn't that something that can give ordinary people even greater power?"

"Gods above! Can we lowly polar people also possess power?"

Like Duan and the other polar people, these polar people felt completely bewildered, even incredulous.

Cao Xing didn't offer much explanation, and simply said, "Everyone, line up now!"

The next moment, tens of thousands of people simultaneously straightened their bodies and stood up straight.

Then he continued, "Next, you will be under the command of Cao Yi and Yue Lun."

“Start by familiarizing yourself with some instructions, and then divide them into small groups to make sure everyone clearly knows what they are supposed to do.”

"Do you understand everything?"

Upon hearing this, the tens of thousands of staff members shouted in unison!
"Understood, my lord!"

The shouts of ten thousand people soared into the sky and resounded for more than ten kilometers around.

Even the combatants among Lord Cao Xing looked curiously at the outside of the city wall upon hearing this shout.

“Very good.” Cao Xing nodded.

After giving instructions to the staff, he looked at the four managers behind him.

"Next, Cao Yi and Yue Lun will be responsible for coordinating the allocation of personnel and assigning tasks to these tens of thousands of people to ensure that everyone can perform their duties."

"The first task is to get them to set up a temporary camp outside their territory."

"This temporary camp will be where these staff members live for the next few months."

"I will turn the heating on to the maximum range of the energy station so that they will not be exposed to the cold even when they are working outside."

"Once the camp is built, we will begin constructing the giant city."

After hearing this, both of them looked serious.

They replied respectfully, "Yes, my lord!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly and then looked at the painter next to him.

"Edward, you're in charge of project coordination. You need to ensure that every detail on the blueprints is accurately implemented."

"In addition, you will also be responsible for the daily meals of these people."

"Later, you will select some people from this group who know how to cook. Their job is to cook for these tens of thousands of people."

Food is the most important thing for people. It is definitely not acceptable to make them work but not let them eat.

Moreover, Cao Xing had previously stated that the food for these tens of thousands of people would be provided by his territory.

Of course, we must keep our word.

As for food reserves, there's no need to worry in the short term.

Cao Xing has received word that the Black Lion Merchant Guild's transport convoy is on its way and will be arriving soon.

The Woodpecker Chamber of Commerce has almost finished collecting its second batch of food, which should be enough to feed tens of thousands of people for the next few months.

After receiving the mission from Cao Xing, Edward replied solemnly, "Yes, my lord."

"I will certainly do what you ask me to do."

Cao Xing then looked at the Nianqi Queen beside him.

“Victoria, you have a wealth of management experience. It would be a waste of your talents to let you manage the establishment of a giant city.”

"But you know, this giant city is very important to me, and I need to be absolutely certain of its safety."

Victoria turned her head slightly and said solemnly, "I understand, please give your instructions."

"very good."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "From now on, you will be the overall person in charge of the Giant City Project, overseeing the overall situation, supervising the progress, and ensuring that the project is completed on time."

"Also... I might take some people away for a while."

"Some management tasks of the territory will also be entrusted to you."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But you don't need to worry, my wife should wake up in a few days."

"She will assist you in managing the territory."

Victoria nodded again. "I understand."

"Very good, time is of the essence, so all of you should get started now."

The four of them acted swiftly.

Then they began to execute the series of instructions issued by Cao Xing.

Before long, Cao Yi and Yue Lun began to divide the work and divide the tens of thousands of people into small teams.

And they were very cooperative.

Everything seemed to be running smoothly and efficiently.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

After observing for a moment and confirming that there were no problems, he turned and headed into the territory.

He walked alone in the buffer zone of the territory, his mind filled with thoughts of what would happen after the giant city was built.

"Very good, the construction of the giant city has now officially begun."

"In just two or three months, a great city will rise here, a legendary city!"

"Then, I will create three major associations!"

"There are legendary blacksmiths, legendary alchemists, and even legendary lightning mages, legendary wind mages, and legendary ice mages here."

"The entire Western Continent will soon hear the name of this territory!"

"And I will take this opportunity to recruit more talent and make the territory bigger and stronger!"

The more Cao Xing thought about it, the more excited he became!
He couldn't wait to see the day the giant city was completed!

Of course, he couldn't waste this time.

There is still a lot to do.

The first thing to do is to explore that ancient ruin—the Lost Royal City.

Cao Xing said in a low voice, "The departure time I agreed with Lord Oran City is tomorrow."

"Currently, all combat personnel in the entire territory are present except for Binglan, so we can depart on time."

"But before that, I have something else to do."

That is, let's see how the potion-making is going on Francesca's side!

Four days ago, Cao Xing gave her a batch of materials for making legendary potions. After so many days, she should have already made a batch.

With that in mind, he prepared to head to the alchemy workshop to check on the witch's situation.

Just then, a beautiful figure in a deep red dress, with a cool and aloof demeanor, walked towards them.

Her steps were elegant and graceful, the hem of her dress swaying slightly, like a blooming rose.

This woman was Francesca.

She walked over gracefully, her voice as melodious as a clear spring: "I heard you're planning to take some people out tomorrow?"

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback and asked with some surprise, "Where did you get this information?"

He had decided to take people out to explore the ancient ruins tomorrow.

But before the official notification could be sent out, Frances already knew.

The witch's lips curled into a smile. "Those two little girls told me."

“They are quite lively. Afraid that I would be lonely, they would come to my alchemy workshop from time to time to chat with me.”

A look of realization dawned on Cao Xing's eyes.

The little girls Francesca was referring to were naturally Tong Chuchu and Elisa.

Speaking of which, Cao Xing had just mentioned the plan to explore ancient ruins to the two girls yesterday, but they turned around and ran to tell Francesca about it.

Cao Xing smiled and replied, "Yes, we're preparing to go out."

"However, you shouldn't need to participate. We already have enough people, so you can just continue making medicine at home."

Hearing this, the witch nodded. "That suits me perfectly."

"By the way, this is the 'Power Magic Guide Elixir' that I've been refining these past few days. Take a look."

As she finished speaking, she took a glass bottle from her bosom.

The glass bottle contained a bright red liquid that flowed slowly within it, as if it were alive.

Even through the bottle, you can feel a powerful energy fluctuation!

It was a terrifying power, as if drinking this potion would instantly break through one's limits and grant unparalleled strength!

After all, this is a legendary potion!
Even Cao Xing was moved by it.

With an expectant look on his face, he reached out and took the bottle.

[Obtained: Power Magic Elixir (Legendary)]

Then I quickly glanced at the attributes.

[Power-Boosting Elixir] [Quality: Legendary]

[Required Level: 70 and above]

[Potion Properties: After consumption, one can instantly gain immense power based on their physical condition!]

A seventh-tier creature will increase its strength by 50% and ice damage by 20%, but will decrease its spirit and armor by 40%.

Eighth to tenth tier creatures will increase their strength by 40% and ice damage by 10%, but will decrease their spirit and armor by 30%.

Legendary creatures will gain 30% more Strength and 5% more Ice damage, but will lose 20% more Spirit and Armor.

Demigod-level creatures will increase their Strength by 20% and Ice damage by 3%, but will decrease their Spirit and Armor by 10%.

Duration of the drug: 5 to 10 minutes

...

...

After reviewing the attributes above, Cao Xing's eyes lit up with realization.

Just as Francesca had said, the amplification effect of this potion was terrifying.

Even legendary-level powerhouses can increase their strength by 30%!
If a master-level expert were to consume it, the amplification could reach an astonishing 50%!

Of course, these side effects are also quite severe.

Reduce spirit and armor directly by percentage.

In other words, aside from some melee units within the territory, mages might even experience a negative boost from taking this potion.

But this still cannot deny that it is an extremely powerful secret medicine.

After all, his territory was mostly populated by melee combat experts.

With that thought in mind, Cao Xing put it into his backpack with satisfaction.

Then he asked, "How many bottles of this kind of potion have you produced?"

Francesca seemed to have anticipated his question and replied directly, "Around seven hundred bottles."

Cao Xing did some mental calculations.

In just four days, over seven hundred bottles of legendary potions were produced; that's an incredibly impressive efficiency.

Moreover, this legendary potion can be traded.

If melee powerhouses like War King Kunard or Ice Crystal King knew that they possessed a legendary potion that could greatly enhance strength, they would definitely be willing to pay a high price to buy it!

According to Cao Xing's prediction, this legendary potion is a consumable item and can only last for a few minutes.

But for legendary powerhouses, even a few minutes can determine the outcome of a battle.

Selling a bottle for four or five million crowns shouldn't be a problem.

In other words, Francesca brought him more than 3 billion in revenue in just four days!

Thinking of this, a smile reappeared on Cao Xing's lips.

He said approvingly, "Very good, now give me this batch of medicine first."

Francesca nodded slightly, then handed the backpack from her waist to Cao Xing.

[Obtained: 724 bottles of the Power Magic Elixir (Legendary)]

……

After handing all the potions to Cao Xing, Francesca continued, "Then, I'll go back and continue refining the potions."

“During the time you are away, I will be responsible for the security of the territory.”

Cao Xing nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The witch smiled gently, then turned and left.

Cao Xing looked at the hundreds of bottles of legendary medicine in his backpack and was about to gather all the melee fighters when...

Another figure quickly walked towards him.

Her plain-colored robe trailed halfway on the ground, and she held a staff in her fair hand.

Beneath that exquisite face lay an air of majesty and holiness.

It was Isabel.

The sage of holy light approached Cao Xing and gave a slight bow.

"My lord, good day..."

Cao Xing nodded and asked, "Isabel, is there something you need?"

The sage of holy light replied softly, "Yes, the contaminated runestone that you asked me to purify a few days ago has been successfully purified."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes immediately showed surprise.

"So fast?"

"But it's only been four days so far, hasn't it?"

Isabel smiled faintly and replied, "It has been four days, but I found that it is more effective to purify this runestone by meditating in the mage tower while releasing holy light."

"So it took much less time than expected."

Cao Xing nodded in realization: "I see..."

A smile appeared on his face.

The purification of the ox rune stone was completed ahead of schedule, which was a good thing for him.

Because he still had an unused Tauren Chieftain Recruitment Scroll of the Overlord level in his backpack.

He's heading to the Lost Royal City tomorrow.

Cao Xing plans to recruit this Minotaur chieftain and see if he can fuse it with the 'Minotaur Rune Stone'.

If possible, his power would increase several times over!
Combined with the newly acquired 'Power Magic Guide Elixir', it will truly be an incredible force!

Thinking of this, Cao Xing said, "Isabel, give me this runestone."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Isabel also reached into her waistband and took out a round runestone from her backpack.

Compared to when it was first obtained a few days ago, the black aura on this runestone has completely dissipated, revealing its original appearance.

The surface of the rune stone has a deep, dark gold color, as if it contains infinite power.

Cao Xing reached out and took it, immediately feeling a warm energy coming from his palm, as if it filled his body with power!
[Obtained: Twelve Sacred Beasts Runestone (Ox)]

……

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes on the rune stone.

It's similar to what I saw a few nights ago.

However, since the purification is complete, the 'super strength' special effect is now usable.
A flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Then, Cao Xing looked at Isabel beside him and said approvingly, "Well done."

The sage of holy light nodded slightly and stood respectfully to the side.

Then, Cao Xing took out an ancient scroll from his backpack.

This scroll appears to be made of some kind of animal hide, and seems to exude an ancient aura.

It was the [Eighth-Tier Minotaur Chieftain Recruitment Scroll] that dropped after slaying the legendary giant rhinoceros that day.

Dominator level!
At the same time, a system prompt appeared.

[Consume a scroll to summon an eighth-tier Minotaur Chieftain?]

"Yes." Cao Xing clicked "confirm" without hesitation.

The scroll burst forth with a dazzling light, shooting directly into the sky hundreds of meters high!

At the same time, Cao Xing vaguely seemed to hear an ancient and deep roar!
The next moment, an energy vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared in front of him and was still spinning.

"Crash..."

The vortex spun wildly, as if it could sweep everything away.

In the center, a huge figure can be vaguely seen.

"Roar!!!"

With a terrifying roar.

A giant bull hoof slowly emerged from the whirlpool and slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Boom!"

The bluestone floor tiles beneath their feet were stomped on, creating spiderweb-like cracks.

Seeing this, Cao Xing frowned slightly.

But he didn't react; instead, he waited for the figure to emerge from the vortex.

As the second hoof stepped out of the whirlpool.

Cao Xing heard a weathered voice.

"Remember this in our hearts: Mother Earth protects us..."

"Totems are our beliefs, and they are bridges for communication..."

"Although the passage of time has gradually diminished the tribe, the blood of our ancestors still flows in our veins, and the flame in our hearts has never been extinguished..."

May the wind guide your path, and may Mother Earth be with you...

The next moment, a huge figure, 5 meters tall, emerged completely from the vortex.

His body was bulging with muscles, his skin was dark brown, and he had a pair of curved bull horns on his head, the tips of which gleamed with a deadly cold light.

On his shoulder was a thick weapon resembling a wooden stake.

The wooden stake is almost a meter in diameter and five meters in length. Its surface is covered with runes and decorated with rings of ornate designs.

This weapon looks both destructive and sacred.

Cao Xing knew what this was.

This is an ancient weapon called a totem.

At the same time, the minotaur chieftain slowly raised his head and stared intently at Cao Xing.

“I am Cairne Burrows, chieftain of the Tauren tribe.”

“I once led my people to fight against storms and beasts in the endless wilderness, protecting our home and faith.”

His voice was deep and resonant, as if it came from the depths of the earth.

"Now, I answer your call and awaken from another dimension."

"Did you summon me, powerful lord from another world?"

……
