Chapter 30 Baiyun Mining Area! The Ironclad Soul-Powered Freight Car! [Please read on! Please vote!]

The following day, as the first rays of sunlight climbed over the green hills and shone into this ordinary little mountain village, the people of the Spirit Hall began to conduct a more detailed exploration of the Baiyun mining area.

Many villagers from nearby Baiyun Village followed the wealthy and powerful Martial Spirit Hall and joined the highly paid mining workforce to begin clearing the Baiyun mining area and excavating the foundations for the mining site.

Once Chen Hong got into work mode, he stopped causing trouble for Hu Liena and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the planning of the Baiyun mining area.

Three days later, on the mountain road of the Baiyun mining area, which was beginning to take shape, Chen Hong drove an armored soul-powered truck into the sight of the Spirit Hall group.

"Hu Liena! Come and see! I've got you an armored, soul-powered truck!" Chen Hong shouted from the driver's seat, which had no windshield, to Hu Liena, who was supervising the construction on the distant mountain.

The Ironclad Soul-Mounted Cart was not much different from a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage in general, except that in some key areas, the wooden strips were covered with iron plates for durability. Chen Hong also replaced the transmission structure with metal and even obtained some poultry oil from the villagers to increase the transmission efficiency of the gears.

Due to the tight schedule, Chen Hong still used wooden wheels for the wheels, but the frame and outer contour were coated with a layer of sheet metal. He also thoughtfully added an elastic structure for shock absorption, so the truck was finally named the Ironclad Soul Dynamic Truck.

Buzz.

However, before Chen Hong could shout for long, the Ironclad Soul-Motion truck broke down halfway up the mountain and remained motionless.

Upon seeing this, the group from the Spirit Hall immediately rushed over. Hu Liena, who was at the front, asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"I just ran too far, Dad's out of soul power." Chen Hong looked at Chen Lin beside him, who was holding a generation of soul power machine in his hands and had a pale face, and said helplessly.

Chen Lin had been working with Chen Hong on the Ironclad Soul-Moving Truck for the past few days without getting enough rest, and his soul power was almost depleted. In the end, he broke down in the Ironclad Soul-Moving Truck halfway up the mountain.

"Hmm, I'll give it a try." Hu Liena looked over Chen Hong's armored Soul-Motion truck repeatedly, pondered for a moment, and then took over Chen Lin's position.

hum!

As Hu Liena's soul power was injected into her body, the first-generation soul-powered vehicle erupted with a powerful sonic wave, and the armored soul-powered truck slowly drove towards the Baiyun mining area on the mountain amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Chen Hong controlled the direction, and Hu Liena provided the soul power. With their combined efforts, the armored soul-powered truck moved slowly along the mountain road that Chen Hong had previously had leveled.

Hu Liena sat down next to Chen Hong. She seemed to smell the dry, sun-kissed scent of the young man on her. Looking at the slowly moving scenery outside the truck window, Hu Liena suddenly said, "If..."

"Stop!" Chen Hong immediately interrupted her, then said before she could finish, "I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking that this kind of armored, soul-powered freight car, if used in warfare, might achieve unexpected results?"

Hu Liena looked at Chen Hong strangely, a hint of surprise flashing in her pale red eyes: "How did you know what I wanted to say?"

"How could I not know what you're trying to say?" Chen Hong asked while driving. "Do you know the biggest difference between my thinking and that of people who went to martial spirit schools? Those people are always thinking about how to be better than others. What I'm thinking about is how to make life more convenient, work easier, and allow everyone to participate in work that they couldn't participate in before."

"I generally call this kind of thinking a developmental perspective. But you have always viewed the world through the lens of force, violence, and aggression."

Chen Hong's words startled Hu Liena, who said with some displeasure, "Only personal strength can protect what you're talking about!"

"Yeah!" Chen Hong asked doubtfully, "You have great talent for cultivation, so you should focus on becoming stronger! I'll take care of development and production behind the scenes, isn't that enough?"

Chen Hong was actually quite annoyed. It seemed like almost everyone in the world demanded that he be strong, or else he would die. Chen Hong knew his own limitations. The growth he would get from investing the same resources in himself was not as good as investing them in his mother!

At least his mother, Ning Lu, possessed innate soul power at level 7, the highest in their family. A unit of rare and precious materials might only grant Chen Hong a 4-level increase, but in Ning Lu's case, it could directly lead to a breakthrough of an entire realm!

Chen Hong has always believed that it is a waste to let people with low energy conversion rates devour large quantities of rare and precious materials.

With the same resources, others can create four or five peak experts, but if you combine them, you can only create one peak expert. It's really unnecessary.

Given limited resources, Chen Hong would prioritize helping his mother level up. Once his mother had trained her henchmen, Chen Hong would have a ticket to higher levels of advancement. Then, he could easily give her some resources so that he could also level up quickly.

Moreover, investing in your mom is a sure way to never lose money.

Others may not have anyone they can trust, but Chen Hong is naturally drawn to someone close to him with whom he has a high level of affection.

Everyone else can be tempted to steal someone else's partner, but try stealing my mother's? You might not even be able to save yourself.

A slight blush appeared on Hu Liena's lovely face as she sat next to Chen Hong. Clearly, Chen Hong's words had caused her to misunderstand, but she quickly realized her mistake and composed herself.

"I...I promise you." Suddenly, Hu Liena said something completely unexpected.

"Huh?" Chen Hong was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What did you promise? Are you just making random promises?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Hu Liena's face, but she eventually hardened her resolve, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "You didn't say you wanted to... I... I... I'd answer."

"???!!!" Chen Hong's expression changed instantly. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his voice rising sharply: "See that steep slope down there?! If you mention it again, believe me, I'll floor the gas and we'll all go down together!"

"..." Hu Liena remained silent. "Don't you really want to?"

Chen Hong remained silent, slowly tilting the armored truck towards the edge of the mountain road.

Hu Liena:

"Fine! I won't talk about it anymore!" Hu Liena said, somewhat angrily.

The Iron Soul high-speed freight train is slowly getting back on track.

"I want to subdue you."

Do I look like a Pokémon?

"I mean, I want you to be my subordinate, to become one of my people!" The little fox was so angry that he jumped up and down.

"You should have said so earlier! Do you expect me to always be the one to take the initiative? It's exhausting!"

On the other side, Bishop Soto suddenly turned to the Spirit Hall elder beside him and asked in confusion:

"Are they saying something strange?"

The protagonist will also be very powerful, but the direction of his power is a little... well, once the protagonist comprehends the mysteries of runes, his first and second soul skills will become the most terrifying synergy support skills.
