"Xiaoya? So you're here?" Fang Qiubai looked back at the smoky hot spring area in shock.
"Well, it's not just me, but Sister Yueying is also here." After a while, Illya walked out casually wearing comfortable casual clothes. Huang Yueying asked behind him: "What?
Does this surprise me so much?"
"Sister Yueying." Fang Qiubai said hello with a smile, turned around and looked at the old man and asked in disbelief: "You said this assembly center can be upgraded?"
"Of course! The current Yugumo Hot Spring Conference Center is just a basic level, of course it can be upgraded!" The old man replied with a smile as if it were a matter of course.
"Then why haven't I heard you say that before?" Fang Qiubai originally thought that if he wanted a more advanced gathering place, he would have to summon a new one, but he didn't expect that it could be upgraded.
"It turns out that the upgrade conditions were not met, so I didn't mention it." The old man replied slowly.
"What conditions? Aren't there still more than 1,000 tasks left? Then why are you telling me now?" Fang Qiubai immediately asked.
"Of course it's not this condition, but the system level limits the upper limit of the building's capabilities." Fang Qiubai was stunned by what the old man said.
"In other words, because the system has been upgraded, the building can be upgraded. Can it be upgraded after completing more than 1,000 tasks?" Fang Qiubai immediately realized that this should be a new change after the completion of today's system upgrade.
"After completing the conditions for upgrading, you only need to pay five times the energy points to complete the upgrade." The old man nodded and said.
"150,000 points? What's the difference after upgrading?" Fang Qiubai thought about the 30,000 points needed for the rally at that time. Five times that is 150,000. It's neither expensive nor cheap. The key lies in what can be improved.
"First, the number of tasks that can be carried out simultaneously has been increased from 25 to 100. Second, the difficulty of the tasks has been increased from 5 stars to 9 stars. Third, the size of the assembly center will be doubled." The old man immediately added the improved tasks.
The effect speaks for itself.
"Calculating it this way, it's not too bad, but what if I expand the other buildings next to me?" Fang Qiubai calculated that he was satisfied, but he was a little worried about what would happen to the surrounding buildings after the expansion. Will he have to spend extra money?
Move away.
"Of course, don't worry. This expansion is an expansion of the internal space of the building and will not affect the appearance of the building." The old man waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Then... if it doubles, will the hot spring also expand?" Illya, who was watching quietly from the side, suddenly couldn't help but ask.
"Of course!" The old man gave Ilya a strange look. He didn't understand why the other party asked this. The expansion must be the overall expansion.
"Yeah!" Unexpectedly, Illya looked at Huang Yueying with a happy face and actually shouted out happily.
Seeing Huang Yueying's face full of joy, Fang Qiubai couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so happy?"
"Of course, if the hot spring is expanded, it will be easier to soak in it!" Unexpectedly, Ilia said excitedly, holding Fang Qiubai's hand.
"Yeah, we're a little better. You guys are just like dumplings every time, and there's always an endless supply of people. Fortunately, no one else is here for the time being so we can enjoy it." Huang Yueying nodded in agreement.
"Uh, I forgot about this, really!" Fang Qiubai scratched his head and said sheepishly: "From now on, let's set aside a period of time every day to enjoy it by ourselves, and we don't have to compete with other members."
"It's best not to make it so special!" Unexpectedly, Illya and Huang Yueying objected at the same time.
"Xiaoya, you can go with me to various places on the mainland. It's easy to find good hot springs. But take sister Yueying as an example. She worked so hard for me and gave up her plan to travel around the world with her husband.
In fact, aren't Iori, Lina, and Shana all the same? Even if they are nicer to everyone, I don't think others will have any objections." Fang Qiubai gently shook Ilia's hand and explained.
"So, everything depends on everyone..." Illya nodded and no longer objected.
"Then it's settled. The team members have been practicing for a few days. It's time for them to come to the assembly center for actual combat. They can improve their strength and collect some magic crystals at the same time." Fang Qiubai finally made the decision.
"What about the other buildings?" Illya asked, because there are several magical buildings in this new welfare area.
"Except for Kalinta, don't let them challenge due to safety issues, let them get in touch with the rest. Find a few outstanding and willing members to change to Holy Knights. As for the blacksmith shop, we won't use it for the time being. Wait for this batch
Members challenge 5-star monsters, use the materials they get to make armors and weapons, and then use them to strengthen them." Originally, the welfare area was not intended for members to use, but thinking that there are more than 1,300 missions, it would be time-consuming and laborious to do it alone.
, Fang Qiubai thought for a moment and decided to let the members use it for a few days, just to let them experience it in advance.
"By the way, Sister Yueying is so leisurely today. Is that mechanism kite ready?" Fang Qiubai saw Huang Yueying nodding in agreement and suddenly thought that she hadn't been rushing to work with Zhuge Liang these days, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Both of them are ready. Today I tested that the weight can reach 500 kilograms. The speed is a little faster than Lina's floating technique. It only takes less than 3 minutes to get here from Tiandao Palace." Huang Yueying nodded and pointed.
The gate of the assembly hall: "It just so happens that you can sit and watch together. When the time comes, there will be one for the Tiandao Palace. If you put one here, you can go back and forth at any time."
It happened that the three of them had nothing to do, and Ilia and Huang Yueying originally planned to go back to Tiandao Palace after taking a bath in the hot spring. When Huang Yueying said this, Ilia and Fang Qiubai walked out with interest.
At this time, Fang Qiubai discovered that under the sculpture of the God of War, an exquisite mechanical kite was squatting, which was more than 3 meters high. It looked like the wings were at least seven or eight meters long when spread out.
The kite's back is very flat, and it seems to be used for standing on people.
"Don't accidentally fall from the top later!" Fang Qiubai carefully stood on the back of the organ, stretched out his hand to pull Ilia to stand beside him, and looked at Huang Yueying who stood in front of him with a slight jump.
, asked with some worry.
"Of course not!" Huang Yueying chuckled, reached out and patted the head of the kite, and heard a slight clicking sound. The huge wings of the kite flapped slowly, and its huge body carried three people.
The person flew smoothly and quickly towards the sky.
"It's really stable!" Fang Qiubai didn't feel any vibration or shaking at all. Only the oncoming breeze could feel that he was flying.
"Sister Yueying is so amazing!" Illya looked at the kite at her feet with excitement and said with admiration.
Faced with Illya's praise, Huang Yueying just smiled modestly. Soon the three of them arrived at Tiandao Palace, and where they landed, there was another mechanical kite standing quietly.
When the three people got off the kite, the kite that brought them up waited for a while and then spread its wings and flew downwards.
"This thing is really good!" Fang Qiubai admired as he looked at the kite going away.
"By the way, little brother, the thing on the little girl named Aierxi is very strange. It seems to be made of meteorite iron and is thinner than silk. It seems to have no weight. I can't figure out what it is yet." He left.
After two steps, Huang Yueying suddenly thought of something and turned around to remind.
"Sister Yueying, it's okay. That thing doesn't look like a bad thing anyway, so don't worry too much." Fang Qiubai nodded and replied.
"Although you are a little brother who keeps causing trouble for us, it is much easier than before!" Huang Yueying smiled and walked towards her residence.
"Pfft..." Looking at Fang Qiubai's awkward smile, Illya couldn't help laughing.
"Laugh, laugh, I am lazy and you are lazy too." Fang Qiubai stretched out his hand and pinched Ilia's face gently, and said helplessly.
While laughing, the two returned to their own room. Fang Qiubai took out a blue potion and said seriously to Ilia: "Xiaoya, drink this potion."
"What kind of medicine is this?" Ilia took the medicine curiously, looked at the blue potion in the transparent glass bottle and asked, "I'm fine, don't I need to drink this?"
"This is not a medicine for healing..." Fang Qiubai didn't know whether Ilia understood or not, so he explained the functions of the genetic evolution fluid.
"Gene evolution?" As expected, Ilia was confused and didn't know what Fang Qiubai was talking about, but she understood a little better: "You mean ordinary people can fight Arnold after taking it?"
"Um, no, the introduction said he was fighting against T500, and Arnold is a more powerful T850, so the gap is quite big. And I don't know what effect this drug has, but Xiaoya, you are already stronger than the average person.
, the effect after taking it should be better than that of ordinary people!”
Illya smiled slightly, opened the lid and drank the blue potion in one gulp: "It's sweet and delicious."
"Do you feel anything?" Fang Qiubai asked expectantly after seeing Illya drink the evolutionary fluid.
"I don't feel anything!" Illya closed her eyes and felt for a while before replying.
"Then maybe this potion doesn't take effect immediately. I still have 5 more. Who do you think should be used?" Fang Qiubai nodded. Of course he didn't think there was anything wrong with the genetic evolution fluid.
"Aren't you going to give it to Shana and the others?" Ilia asked strangely.
"Of course not to them." After Fang Qiubai answered in Ilia's puzzled eyes, he added: "Actually, this thing should be of no use to them. After all, none of them are weaker than Arnold.
It's just a waste if you use it. The effect of this potion shouldn't be that powerful."
"Is there only five?" Ilia was also in trouble. Of course she hoped that Fang Qiubai could give one to each of her father, Uncle Bruce, and his father's other half Helena. But there were only five in total, so she would use it
After losing four of them, I knew that Fang Qiubai would not object, but I felt that I couldn't say anything.
"This potion won't expire, right?" After thinking about it, Illya still felt that it was difficult to handle. Although Fang Qiubai said that the evolutionary fluid was nothing, she always felt that no amount of it was enough, let alone only five.
"It shouldn't expire!" Fang Qiubai was stunned and replied with some uncertainty.
"How about giving it as a reward to those members who have outstanding performance?" Ilia suggested.
"Speaking of which, I don't know if other races have any problems taking it. And based on years of knowledge, the stronger the person, the lower the effect. I'm afraid it would be a waste to use it as a reward." Fang Qiubai
Although I think this is a good idea, I feel a little worried when I think that there are several races among my team members.
"Then my father and Aunt Helena won't be able to use it anymore. Uncle Bruce is at level 5 and seems to be about to break through level 6, so I'm afraid he won't be able to use it either. How about giving one to Ankara? And Elsie?" Illya said in a relaxed tone.
He suggested it directly as if he was sharing sugar water.
"Haha, Xiaoya is willing to give it up? Although this thing is nothing, it is rare." Fang Qiubai couldn't help laughing and said, Ilia always considers others first, which makes him very happy.
"That's yours. If you don't want to let it go, you can't let it go!" Ilia looked at Fang Qiubai pretending to be dissatisfied.
"Well...it's so hot!" Before Fang Qiubai could answer, Illya's expression suddenly changed and she whispered.
