LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 27: Alloy Carriage
Chen Xiyi glanced at Xuanli Old Taoist, who seemed to have something to say but ultimately remained silent.
Although he didn’t know what the other party wanted to say, from the respectful attitude of Xuanli Old Taoist towards Wang Li, it seemed as if he was awed, like a commoner facing an official.
Regarding this, Chen Xiyi had no intention of helping Xuanli Old Taoist. If the map had shown a friendly green dot or if they were friends with a high level of goodwill, he would have definitely helped. But looking at the situation where the unit was white and not a friend, why should he help the other party? Just because the old Taoist had given him a scroll painting?
He had already helped Xuanli Old Taoist live a carefree life and even provided a weapon that could be considered a magic weapon in this world, more than compensating for the value of the scroll.
In the hands of the old Taoist, the scroll was just an offering.
Only in the hands of Chen Xiyi could it spiritualize and bring forth the River Fairy from the map: Jianghu.
“Immortal, the items you requested have been delivered. Do you want to check them?” the head of the Song family asked.
Chen Xiyi glanced at the map, where several white dots were already waiting.
“No need. Are there still items on the way or already purchased?” Chen Xiyi casually asked.
“Reporting to the Immortal, there is indeed a small amount left, this…”
“I understand. Since they have been obtained, I will take all of them. Keep them here first, and I will come back later to collect them. You can settle the payment in advance,” Chen Xiyi said as he handed a list with ample food.
He had to admit that his ability to deceive and bluff was quite useful. At least now, he was reaping the benefits.
Upon hearing Chen Xiyi’s words, the heads of the three families were delighted, thinking that they might have made a profit.
“Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal,” the three families quickly expressed their gratitude.
“It’s nothing. I entrusted you with this task, and I must not let you suffer any losses,” Chen Xiyi said with a smile.
He had not been able to act this way before because he didn’t have the means, but now he did, allowing him to further optimize his image.
“Well then, let’s set off,” Chen Xiyi said to Wang Li without waiting for anyone else to speak.
Wang Li was a bit stunned. How could they set off so suddenly?
The journey to the capital was no easy task and quite a distance.
However, Wang Li suddenly thought that since Chen Xiyi was an Immortal, he might have extraordinary traveling abilities. Besides, he couldn’t refuse; what if he offended Chen Xiyi and met instant retribution?
“Understood, Immortal. How would the Immortal like to travel?” Wang Li respectfully asked.
Chen Xiyi smiled, “We will travel by carriage, come along.”
This meant it was time for the guests to leave, not to stay in his house any longer.
Without saying anything, everyone followed him outside.
Seeing Chen Xiyi coming out, the River Fairy leaped onto him and, with a swipe of his hand, broke all the neatly arranged wooden boxes. The abundant resources turned into white light and entered Chen Xiyi’s body. He was quite satisfied with it. Although the quantity was not as much as the previous times, it was evident that the three great families had included a considerable amount of gold and silver in this batch of items to please Chen Xiyi.
A lot of gold and silver.
“Do you have a knowledgeable guide under your command?” Chen Xiyi asked Wang Li satisfactorily after playing this hand.
Wang Li had just come to his senses, and for others, this scene might have been seen a few times and not as shocking as he was. He was fascinated by the fact that a mere touch could cause the river to surge.
“Yes, there are, may I ask what the Immortal needs?” Wang Li just asked and felt that he had done something stupid.
“Of course, to have him drive.” Chen Xiyi smiled mysteriously and took out a carriage.
[Alloy Carriage (Three Horses)]
[Durability: 1000/1000]
[Comfort: 50]
[Speed: 100]
[Consumption: 20 units of charcoal/coal per hour]
This carriage, made entirely of metal, was one of the top transportation tools, whether it was the carriage or the three horses, but unfortunately, it couldn’t be enchanted.
Of course, there were also alloy horses, alloy sedan chairs, and the like, but these were for single use; the alloy carriage could accommodate four people.
“Um…” Wang Li didn’t know what to say for a moment when he saw this. In his eyes, could this carriage run? “Let’s go, have the guide drive the carriage.” Chen Xiyi climbed up onto the carriage first and sat down casually.
Wang Li was helpless and had to arrange for a knowledgeable servant to drive the carriage before climbing up himself.
The servant was also embarrassed. How was he supposed to drive this carriage?
However, after Chen Xiyi granted him temporary driving permission once he sat in his position, he figured it out.
This carriage didn’t need him to personally drive it at all; he only needed to control it in his mind. The servant was amazed for a while, truly the mount of a deity.
“Everyone, I’ll be heading off.” Wang Li felt the carriage gently sway and poked his head out to say a word.
Before this group of people could respond, the carriage turned into a blur and sped off in an instant.
The speed was so fast that by the time they thought of replying to this Prince Zhuang, they couldn’t see the carriage anymore.
The group of people looked at each other, feeling like this was a bit of a joke.
For them, it was indeed a bit of a joke to give it away like this without giving any further instructions. But for Chen Xiyi, this was a normal matter. He now had a lot of resources plus the existence of the martial world. He had already developed it with caution and prudence, but his mindset had gradually shifted to focusing on players.
For Chen Xiyi, the map, resources, quests, etc., of this place had already been fully explored and had little value. Naturally, he had to change the map.
As for waiting for the other party to deliver resources.
He had thought about this, but the problem was that this home game was a semi-finished product. Whether it was equipment or tools, the highest level was just combining equipment with three enchantments.
He had also built most of the other facilities, such as the four basic equipment, some accessories to increase comfort, building materials, etc., which he had enough resources to make. However, he didn’t do it because they were not necessary. Even if he lived in a wooden house, a little lower comfort was fine.
What he really needed was the module: spiritual entities related to history. There were many things in this module, but they all required fairies to help. Otherwise, apart from making some jelly ice cream-like food, Chen Xiyi couldn’t make anything else.
