I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 248 College Planning

Chapter 248 College Planning
"Forget it. Look on the bright side. At least there's still one-fifth left. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to mine it."

Hearing this, several ministers smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

After all, they never thought that Xia Yuan could penetrate to a depth of more than a thousand meters underground in one go.

Besides, the original intention of asking Xia Yuan for help was to test his strength.

As for mining the resources below, that is secondary.

Now it’s pretty good to have one-fifth.

Of course, this is more of a self-consolation.

It has already happened, what else can I say?

Can I still ask the other party for compensation?
Well, it seems that it is not impossible?
But it’s definitely not a direct demand for compensation.

Minister Nine's eyes lit up and he expressed his thoughts.

"Take this opportunity to trade some more source crystals from him?"

"It's not impossible."

"What if it offends him? He's helping us after all."

"That's fine. We can let the third brother negotiate with him. If it works out, that would be great. If not, that doesn't matter either. We won't suffer any loss anyway."

If you want to cultivate extraordinary people vigorously, you must store more source crystals.

They also asked that in order to cultivate an innate-level extraordinary person, the source crystals needed would be around 25 pieces.

To awaken, about thirty source crystals are needed.

All together, it would take at least fifty source crystals to cultivate a Transcendent Realm cultivator.

This is assuming everything goes well and there is a possibility that someone will die along the way.

If there are casualties, all previous investments will be in vain.

In other words, the source crystals obtained from Xia Yuan are only enough to cultivate two Transcendent Realm cultivators every year.

As for the source crystals needed after transcendence, the amount is probably even more unimaginable.

If we only rely on these one hundred source crystals every year, it is far from enough.

So try to get as much as you can from Xia Yuan.

"Tell the third brother our idea and ask him to negotiate with Xia Yuan."

……

Snowy land.

When Xie Xuan was directing the on-site technicians to conduct an investigation, someone came to report the news to him.

“It’s a good opportunity indeed!”

His eyes lit up.

Compared with the origin crystal, what is combustible ice?
The two are not on the same level at all.

As long as we can get another hundred source crystals from Xia Yuan, this loss will become an opportunity.

Besides, he really didn't blame Xia Yuan. No one could have imagined such a thing.

"I need to think carefully about how to tell him about this."

After spending some time together, he also had a general understanding of Xia Yuan.

This person is soft-hearted and doesn't respond to tough calls. If you directly ask him for compensation for destroying the combustible ice, there's no chance of success.

But as long as you reason with him, play the victim, and then offer to help, the probability of success is very high.

"Well, we can't do a one-time deal. The best way is to trade for the long term, adding a little more to the original 100 yuan."

The most important thing is to strike a good balance and not ask for too much, otherwise no matter what you say, it will be useless.

Thinking of this, Xie Xuan had a rough idea in his mind.

When he came to Xia Yuan again, he pretended to sigh.

"Ugh!"

"Minister Xie, what's wrong?"

Seeing Xie Xuan like this, Xia Yuan said expressionlessly:

"Let me make it clear first, you really can't blame me just now. If you want compensation, forget it."

The Minister of Jiuzhou Management Department sighed in front of him, which definitely meant he had no good intentions.

So he directly stopped Xie Xuan from speaking.

And I also suffered a lot of losses.

Just that one move consumed a full 30 points of source energy.

Source energy: 3.8/80
Origin point: 12
Looking at the pitiful data on the panel, Xia Yuan now feels a little painful.

"No, this matter is not your fault. It's our fault for misjudging your strength."

Xie Xuan shook his head again in a pretentious manner, and then continued:
"To be honest, I'm worried about other things."

"I just received news that the power supply and energy supply for the soon-to-be-built test base are difficult to solve because they are quite large."

"It's not that it can't be solved, but because it's in a place like Xizhou, the cost is relatively high."

"We originally planned to use this methane hydrate, but now..."

"But don't worry, no matter how high the cost, I will definitely complete what I promised you."

In fact, not all of what Xie Xuan said was false.

It is true that they intend to use this methane hydrate, and it is also true that the cost is a bit high.

But it’s not as exaggerated as he said!

"I'm just saying this casually. Don't take it to heart or think too much about it."

"..."

Xia Yuan's mouth twitched when he heard this.

No, you are the director of Jiuzhou Management Department after all.

Is it too contrived to say this to my face?
Don't take it to heart yet.

Don’t take it to heart, what the hell are you talking to me about?

Isn't this just taking off your pants to fart?
Seeing that Xia Yuan didn't say anything, Xie Xuan continued:

"We have already thought of a backup plan, which is to build a nuclear power plant in Western State."

"This is partly to provide energy for the laboratory, and partly because it's inconvenient to power your college in the Snow Region, so we're helping you solve these problems."

Well, first you play the victim, and then you show your kindness for no reason.

Building a nuclear power plant is no easy task.

If you say there are no requirements, Xia Yuan would never believe it even if you beat him to death.

He is not the kind of person who only takes benefits.

The solution proposed by Xie Xuan did solve a lot of problems for him.

So Xia Yuan simply got straight to the point.

"Minister Xie, there's no need to beat around the bush. Just say it directly!"

"Look what you said, am I that kind of person?"

Are you clear about it in your heart?

Xia Yuan rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.

"Okay then, thank you Minister Gao Yi. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"

With that said, he turned around and left.

"Hey, don't rush."

"Oh, Minister Xie, is there anything else?"

After all, Xie Xuan is a man who has experienced many ups and downs, so he is naturally very thick-skinned.

He knew it was time to get down to business.

"Look, can you trade more source crystals every year? One hundred yuan a year isn't enough right now."

"It's fine now. If we find a way to utilize source energy in the future, we will definitely allocate a portion of it to the development of science and technology."

"Besides, training extraordinary people also requires a lot. Currently, two people per year will definitely not be enough to maintain the stability of Jiuzhou in the future."

"After all, we can't trouble you with everything."

After listening to Xie Xuan's explanation, Xia Yuan frowned.

This old guy really had this idea.

But he wasn't angry.

The other party has already expressed their willingness in advance, so these words are not a request, but rather a negotiation.

The reason why Xia Yuan has a good impression of the third minister is that even though he has his own ulterior motives, he does things without any fault.

In addition, what they said makes sense. One hundred source crystals per year are indeed very few.

Even if I continue to acquire source points at my current rate, I will get at least 6,000 points per year.

If converted into source crystal, it would cost more than 60,000 yuan.

"How many do you want?"

"How about five hundred?"

"No, it's too much!" Xia Yuan shook his head decisively.

Fifty source points were indeed not a lot for him.

But Xia Yuan didn't want to take out too many source crystals at this stage.

First, you need to cultivate yourself, and second, you need to make these people feel a sense of urgency.

"How about this, I'll give you an extra hundred Yuan crystals per year, capped at five hundred."

"That's fine too."

In fact, Xie Xuan had never thought that there would be so many. He asked for five hundred just to have room for negotiation.

In his opinion, two hundred at most would be enough.

The suggestion proposed by Xia Yuan now far exceeded his expectations.

"Another point, it's useless for me to have so much money."

"If I figure out the uses of source energy later, I'll need to exchange these things for some resources I need."

"By that time, we can create a trading system that is unique to the Supernatural System."

"For example, source crystals can actually be used as a currency."

To put it bluntly, today's currency actually has no value in itself.

It's just a bunch of numbers and some paper.

It's just that people give it value.

But the source crystal is different, it has extremely high value in itself.

Using this thing as currency is definitely the best choice.

If source energy can be discovered one day, source crystals will surely become the common currency among extraordinary people.

But this idea is still too far away.

Apart from Xia Yuan, I'm afraid no one is willing to trade something like Source Crystal at the moment.

After hearing this suggestion, Xie Xuan pondered for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, I can make the decision on your previous request."

"But regarding the use of Source Crystals as the settlement currency, we will discuss it in detail when the time comes."

For them, being able to use source crystals as currency would definitely only bring benefits.

But what is uncertain is how to measure the value of extraordinary items.

Now we are just proposing a direction.

This kind of thing must be confirmed after the actual research results come out.

Xia Yuan nodded, and the two of them didn't continue the topic.

"By the way, when do you plan to start construction of your academy?"

"We've already made a few design plans for you. Find some time to check and see if there's anything that needs adjusting."

"Then tomorrow."

Xia Yuan had already put forward some requirements for the construction of the college.

After all, what we are building is an academy for extraordinary people, which is definitely different from ordinary academies.

First of all, the cafeteria must be the best, because the energy required by extraordinary people is not a small amount.

Secondly, the dormitory is also a stand-alone building.

Xia Yuan plans to build about one hundred dormitories.

He certainly won't select many people in a short period of time, so this number is more than enough.

Finally, there must be a dedicated area for practice.

According to Li Qingxuan's suggestion, these areas are divided into groups of one to five people, and they can choose the area they are in based on their cultivation progress.

In addition to these, there are also libraries, professional physical testing areas, laboratories, etc.

These are all more important.

As for the teaching area, Xia Yuan only planned one building.

After all, there are not many people, so it’s useless to have so many.

The most important purpose here is to allow them to communicate with each other and deduce the exercises.

But Li Tianyi had proposed an idea before, and Xia Yuan also thought it was very good.

That is, you can let them try to learn some martial arts moves, maybe they can get some inspiration from them.

There are actually many benefits to practicing martial arts. It can improve willpower, enhance physical fitness, and is also very beneficial for awakening.

All in all, it's just the beginning.

Everyone, including him, is still in the exploratory stage.

Xia Yuan will adopt any useful suggestions.

They will eventually perfect the path to transcendence through trial and error.

This is the most precious wealth for Xia Yuan.

This is also the purpose of his doing all this.

It would be absolutely impossible for him to do it alone.

"Minister Xie, please remember to give me a rough estimate of the cost as soon as possible."

"No problem, it will take about a week."

Xie Xuan nodded, and then asked another question.

"By the way, didn't you mention the instrument used for physical testing before?"

"I previously handed this matter over to an academician, and that academician suggested conducting a test on your physical condition."

"I don't know if you're willing. If not, I'll help you reject him."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan became interested.

Want to check your physical condition?

To be honest, he never tested his physical fitness again except at the beginning!

He also wants to have a systematic understanding of what his current body is like.

If you don't need to slice it, you can check it out.

"What aspects need to be tested? Do you want a biopsy?"

Xie Xuan's mouth twitched. What a mess.

With your current strength, who dares to slice you?
"Slices certainly won't."

"As for the rest, I don't know even if you ask me. Why don't you go find him yourself?"

Xia Yuan nodded. He was a little curious whether current technology could test his physical fitness.

"Okay, I'll go ask him later."

It’s definitely not possible now. At least you have to wait for a period of time to cultivate and wait until the source energy increases again before going.

Afterwards, the two of them exchanged a few brief words, and Xie Xuan went about his own business.

Now there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

After Xia Yuan, Li Qingxuan and others gave a brief explanation, they left.

The source energy in his body is now almost completely empty, and there are only a few source points left.

In this state, Xia Yuan had no mind to do anything else.

Therefore, he must seize every opportunity to practice.

It was fun at first, but I shed tears of regret afterwards.

"After I finish my work tomorrow, I must get all my attributes to 100 before I go out again."

Inside the camp, Li Tianyi couldn't help but sigh as he watched Xia Yuan disappear.

"I don't know when I can be as strong as Senior Xia!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him strangely.

How dare you think about it!
