I can find treasures in my dreams.

The Black Sand Sea of ​​Death.

Pioneer City.

The so-called "Pioneer City" is, to put it simply, a transit island in the Black Sand Sea established by Xiao Cang, a sapling of the World Tree.

After Yang Fan officially reached the highest point in the name of Mr. Lingya, the development of the Black Sand Sea in Great Xia accelerated by dozens of times.

Within just two months, the intelligent building cluster built a city on the transit island, namely Pioneer City.

Now, Kaituo City has become the base of the Black Sand Legion, one of the eight major legions of the Great Xia Dynasty.

With the influx of people, the permanent population of Kaituo City rapidly grew to over 50.

Dona Silverleaf, a female warrior of the Ironfist tribe, stood on a lush green hilltop, quietly gazing at the pioneer city.

The Dona clan is the largest clan in the Ironfist civilization, and now it has become the person in charge of trade between the two worlds, frequently traveling between the Frontier City.

Dona Silver Leaf looked around for a while and said, "Every time I enter Pioneer City, I feel that a lot has changed here."

Mota, the giant axe-wielder, stood to the side and nodded, "Yes."

After the Azure Civilization established the transit island, according to the agreement reached between Yang Fan and the Guardians, the Iron Fist Civilization dispatched 10,000 elite troops to help the Azure people guard the transit island.

This Mr. Mota, the giant axe, is the commander of this Iron Fist Guard.

Dona Silver Leaf glanced at his feet and said, "When I came here last time, the area around Kaituo City was all desert. Now the desert has almost disappeared, and the surrounding area has either turned into green space or a park."

The two were in a park, and even the road leading to the hilltop was paved with stone slabs and had metal railings on both sides.

Dona Silverleaf couldn't help but sigh, "The pioneer city is just like the Azure Civilization, thriving and constantly changing, getting better every day than the day before."

She paused, then asked pointedly, "What do you think of the Ironfist Civilization compared to the Azure Civilization?"

Mota the Giant Axe's face seemed perpetually expressionless: "I've always stayed in Frontier City and have never been to the Azure Civilization."

The implication is—sorry, I can't answer your question.

Dona Silverleaf had no choice but to answer his own question: "I've been back to the Tekken world a few times during this period, and it's always the same, nothing has changed."

Mota the Giant Axe disagreed: "Many Ironfist families now have air conditioning, and geothermal power plants have been built in the dungeons, so there should still be some changes."

Dona Silverleaf was a little embarrassed and explained, "I was talking about people. Society in the Tekken world is still lifeless, and I don't see much hope."

Mota the Great Axe simply said "Oh," without uttering another word, leaving his inner thoughts impossible to discern.

However, this attitude itself shows that he is not against it.

"call!"

A gentle breeze swept by.

Dona Silver Leaf took a sniff and said, "This is my first time here. It's all black sand, and whenever the wind blows, sand and dust fill the sky."

Mota the Giant Axe hummed in agreement, adding an unusually long comment: "The environment is indeed much better now."

The prospective rider even made a comparison: "It's much better than Tekken World."

Dona Silver Leaf sensed that the atmosphere was right and began to tell her story: "I met a young architect on Azure Star. He was an ordinary person with no special abilities."

Mota the Giant Axe's eyes flickered.

Hearing his companion deliberately emphasize "ordinary people," he had a vague premonition of what the other person wanted to express.

Dona Silver Leaf continued, “This architect was very interested in the Ironfist civilization. When he learned about the natural environment of the Ironfist world and that the Ironfist people lived in underground cities, he specially designed a new type of underground city for the Ironfist people.”

"I have seen his design in detail. The structure of this underground city is very ingenious. It cleverly utilizes the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the underground city."

"With just a mechanical system, without any supernatural power, it created a circulating airflow inside the underground city, which reduced the temperature of the underground city by eight to ten degrees."

Mota the Giant Axe was slightly moved upon hearing this.

As a warrior who came from the lower-class dungeons inhabited by ordinary Ironfist warriors, he knew very well how harsh the environment in the lower dungeons was.

If the city temperature could be lowered by eight to ten degrees, it would greatly improve the living comfort of ordinary Iron Fist residents.

Dona Silverleaf suddenly asked a question: "If a designer like this were to emerge in the Tekken world, do you think he would have the opportunity to design a dungeon?"

Mota the Giant Axe was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

Ironfist Civilization is a world with a strict hierarchy. How could someone without superpowers become a city designer?
There are no doors!

Dona Silver Leaf suddenly raised his voice: "But in the Great Xia of Canglan Star, a work designed by this young designer has been selected by Mr. Lingya and construction has already begun on an island called Shenmu Island."

Mota the Giant Axe's eyes flickered again.

Dona Silver Leaf then spoke his true thoughts: "The Azure Civilization gives ordinary people the opportunity to truly utilize their talents. Although their strength is indeed weak, they do not consider themselves inferior."

"The ordinary people of the Ironfist Civilization live in inferior dungeons, and they consider themselves inferior, so they have no opportunity to use their talents."

She concluded, "That's why I feel the Azure Civilization is thriving, while the Ironfist Civilization is like a stagnant pool."

Mota the Giant Axe's gaze suddenly turned as sharp as a blade: "What exactly are you trying to say after all this?"

Dona Silverleaf said solemnly, "Many people, including myself, believe that there are serious problems within the Iron Fist Civilization, and our world needs change!"

Her tone became impassioned: "Only by raising the status of ordinary Ironfist people, and truly unleashing the power of ordinary people like the Azure Civilization, can the Ironfist Civilization develop rapidly."

"The individual potential of the Azure people is much lower than that of the Ironfist people, yet they had 10,000 warriors earlier than the Ironfist civilization, which shows that the Azure civilization is on the right path."

"You should know that every time there is a calamity of demons, a large number of civilized worlds are eliminated. If the Ironfist Civilization does not change and continues to maintain its stagnant status quo, I am very worried that the Ironfist people will not be able to survive this calamity of demons."

Mota the Giant Axe fell silent again.

Dona Yinye remained silent, patiently waiting for the other party to respond.

A few seconds passed.

A swarm of dragonfly-shaped drones swiftly swept overhead and flew straight toward the beach at the edge of the transit island.

This is a patrol drone.

Dona Silverleaf asked, "What kind of drone is this? It looks like the Flying Sand Dragonfly from the Black Sand Sea."

The flying sand dragonfly is one of the three most abundant flying species in the Black Sand Sea.

Mota the Giant Axe looked up and replied, "This is the 'Storm Dragonfly' created by the Azure People, imitating the Sandfly."

"The Flying Sand Dragonfly can fly at high speed in the storms of the Black Sand Sea, something that the Azure Man's previous drones could not do."

"The Azure People have discovered the secrets of how the Sandfly copes with strong winds and designed the Stormfly. As long as the storm is not particularly large, the Stormfly can handle it with ease."

Dona Silver Leaf couldn't help but exclaim, "Good stuff!"

Even a fool would understand that having a group of drones scouting the distance while exploring the Black Sand Sea would greatly improve the team's safety.

Mota the Giant Axe said, "The Stormfly is still in the testing phase and has not yet been deployed on a large scale. Once the Azure People start mass-producing Stormflies, the Ironfist Civilization will also purchase a batch."

Dona Silverleaf then asked a question: "The Azure People who developed the Stormfly are almost all ordinary people, right?"

Mota the Giant Axe did not deny it: "Yes."

He had personally seen some of the Azure Man engineers who tested the Stormfly, and they were indeed ordinary people.

Dona Silver Leaf sighed: "Look, this is another example. Ordinary people can actually create a lot of good things, which can greatly enhance the strength of a civilization."

"But the leaders of the Ironfist Civilization designed a very foolish social system and relied on this system to suppress the creativity of ordinary people and the potential of a civilization."

These words were somewhat disrespectful.

If this gets out, even if she is from the First Clan, she will likely face very severe punishment.

Mota the Giant Axe spoke with a hint of sarcasm: "I remember you used to have great respect for the leader."

Dona Silver Leaf answered frankly: "The people of Canglan have a saying: 'Only change is the eternal truth.' In my exchanges with the Canglan civilization, I have learned a lot and grown a lot."

She countered, "So you're actually aware of the problems with the Ironfist Civilization, right?" Mota the Giant Axe sighed.

This is undoubtedly an admission.

For the first time, this prospective knight spoke his mind: "I have read the history of the Azure Civilization. Whether it is the Iron Fist Civilization or the Azure Civilization, change is an extremely difficult thing. Even if many, many people die, change often ends in failure."

Dona Silver Leaf immediately retorted, "I have also read the history of the Azure Civilization. For more than two hundred years, the Great Xia was a weak country. Later, the Great Xia people launched a vigorous reform, and now they have become the overlords of Azure Star."

Mota the Giant Axe shook his head and said, "The Giant Axe Clan is a small clan and cannot withstand too much turmoil. I must consider the interests of my clan."

Dona Silver Leaf refuted again: "The Moda clan is also a small clan. A few days ago, the patriarch of the Moda clan was controlled by demons. The two guardians carried out a great purge of the Moda clan. The entire clan was completely split up and merged into several other clans."

"If the Ironfist civilization does not change, the Ironfist people's development will only slow down, and the Giant Axe Clan may suffer the same fate as the Morda Clan. Your cowardice and conservatism will only drag down the Giant Axe Clan."

That was quite a blunt remark.

Mota the Giant Axe did not get angry, but simply sighed again.

Dona Silver Leaf changed his persuasive approach: "Since you have read the history of the Canglan civilization, you should know that it was through the sacrifices and arduous struggles of generations of Great Xia people that we have the Great Xia we have today. If the Great Xia people can do it, why can't we?"

The female warrior declared emphatically, "Iron Fist Civilization has reached its most dangerous moment. If change requires bloodshed, I am willing to be the first to shed blood, even if it means shedding every last drop."

The longer she stayed in the Azure Civilization, the stronger her sense of urgency became, which is why she said, "This civilization has reached its most dangerous moment."

Mota the Giant Axe was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Dona Yinye's face lit up with joy.

She instantly realized that this formidable companion had been moved by her.

Dona Silverleaf said directly, "You are the most promising young person in the Iron Fist Civilization to advance to the level of a knight. I hope you can advance to the level of a knight as soon as possible. Without the combat power of a knight, it will be difficult for us to shake the existing power structure."

Mota the Giant Axe was speechless: "I also hope to be promoted as soon as possible, but it's just a hope, it's useless."

Dona Silverleaf resolutely said, "I can marry you. The Dona clan is the largest clan, so you can obtain more resources."

Mota the Giant Axe was taken aback.

Dona Silverleaf acted decisively, saying without changing her expression, "I'll go to your room tonight."

Mota the Giant Axe hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse: "Alright."

Unbeknownst to anyone, undercurrents were surging within the Tekken world, even within Frontier City.

Trade and exchange between the two civilizations gave rise to a wave of change among the Iron Fist people.

The Azure Civilization, which had only been around for five years, had become a model for the Iron Fist Civilization, which had been around for decades.

*
Azure Star.

Great Xia Dynasty, Yangyan City.

"I'll come to your room tonight!"

Zhou Xiaolou heard his wife, Saliha, say something in a low voice.

Ten days ago, he first saw Saliha at Ansi Airport; ten days later, Saliha had become his wife.

Even now, Zhou Xiaolou still feels a little uncomfortable: "How did I become a man with a wife and children?"

After they first met, he and Saliha stayed at home for three days. Saliha went to the hospital for a checkup and confirmed that she had twin fertilized eggs inside her.

Before the era of natural disasters, blood tests could confirm pregnancy as early as 7 to 10 days.

With advancements in technology, a single scan with a bio-scanner can determine on the same day whether a fertilized egg has successfully implanted.

The couple then applied for a marriage certificate online and submitted a pregnancy test report as an attachment.

Just ten minutes later.

The electronic marriage certificate was then issued.

Saliha then applied for a family visit visa for her father, who was in Kazakhstan and suffering from late-stage liver cancer, to travel to Great Xia.

Zhou Xiaolou, through his uncle who was a superhuman, secured a treatment slot for his father-in-law at Tianxing Hospital in Yangyan City.

The couple planned to spend their honeymoon in Yangyan City, which is why they arranged for the father-in-law to receive treatment there.

This pretty girl's plan was perfectly executed.

just now.

The couple witnessed the doctor place two Dawn Seeds on the old man's chest and abdomen. The seeds burst open, releasing countless filaments that burrowed into his skin, and soon the filaments withered away.

The doctor performed another scan and said with satisfaction, "The tumor in your liver is gone, and the tumors that have metastasized to other places have also been cleared away. Come back for a follow-up examination in six months."

"However, based on experience, the probability of recurrence is very low, and the elderly person can live for another thirty years without any problem."

The old man asked in fluent Daxia dialect, "Can I really live another thirty years?"

The doctor nodded and said, "This is the deduction given by the intelligent health model Bian Que. As long as you don't mess with your body and exercise regularly, it should be pretty close to the truth."

The old man was deeply moved.

He was almost given a death sentence by the hospital in Kazakhstan, but unexpectedly, Tianxing Hospital told him that he could live for another thirty years.

Saliha, her face beaming with delight, interjected, "Doctor, can my dad be discharged now?"

The doctor, head down writing the report, didn't even look up: "Let's get discharged soon; there are many people waiting in line."

The old man was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up, but after the treatment, all the pain disappeared, and he was able to walk freely again.

The advanced medical technology used by Daxia to treat cancer truly shocked Saliha's family.

Her mother kept wiping away tears, repeatedly saying things like "Thank you, Da Xia" and "Thank you, Tianxing Medical".

In her excitement, Saliha finally said, "I'll come to your room tonight."

For the past two nights, she has been staying in the room with her mother to take care of her father, and she really misses the feeling of sleeping with her husband.

soon.

The family happily completed the discharge procedures.

The cost of this treatment was not high; although there was no medical insurance coverage, the total cost was only 2.2 yuan.

Saliha sighed, “We consulted hospitals in China, and the experts said the treatment would cost at least 300,000 yuan and could only extend my life by a year at most.”

Zhou Xiaolou smiled and said, "This is medical technology from before the era of natural disasters; it should have been phased out long ago."

He then looked at his father-in-law and said sincerely, "Dad, you'd better stay in Daxia for two months and take good care of your health."

The words just finished.

A commotion suddenly broke out in the hall.

This is the designated checkout area for foreign patients, and it's almost entirely filled with foreigners. Various exclamations and gasps rang out.

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my God!"

"Idios!"

Zhou Xiaolou was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look over.

He immediately noticed that many people were looking up at the arched glass dome of the hall, their faces filled with shock.

Zhou Xiaolou glanced at it and was completely dumbfounded.

The light gray clouds that had covered the sky had completely disappeared, replaced by layers of water ripples that swept in from afar like a tide, instantly covering the sky.

A thought instantly flashed through Zhou Xiaolou's mind: "Another natural disaster is about to occur!" (End of Chapter)
