The Geared Immortal

Chapter 827 - Getting Famous

Chapter 827

(Unedited)

…

A week has passed ever since Shin Jiao's group came to the village. He has established cooperation with Yein Han and the Arjing Village and the cooperation seems to be doing well.

But it seems that a lot of the rich merchants and some nobles in the village seem to be discontent with this cooperation. Some of them have tried to cause trouble on Yein Han and some tried to research the products especially the magic light bulb.

By far no one has ever determined how to bulb works. And because of this, the merchants and some powerful people from the village sent a petition to Yein Han.

This week Yein Han is both stressed out but happy at the same time. The magic light bulb is really famous and the village administration has earned so much gold for the first time. Even the canned meat became really profitable as soldiers, mercenaries, and even common citizens have bought them.

They did not know how the high-level beast meat are cooked but its taste and how it provides them with energy is already amazing enough that they could not help but buy more of it.

It did not take long before the stocks of the administration building became empty and they needed to send messages to the ship outside to order more.

Shin Jiao and his people, on the other hand, did not bother with the troubles in the village. They would just manufacture the goods and send them to the village. As long as they get paid, everything is fine.

"Master Shin, our raw materials are almost gone. We need more high-level beast meats to process…" one of the mages who was assigned in the lower manufacturing deck of the ship reported.

"Alright, but we could not spare more hands in this. Send an announcement to the village that we are buying high-level beasts that mercenaries could capture. And also tell them that if they wanted to process their meat into canned meat, they would just pay the proper price for processing…" Shin Jiao gave some instructions to the people in front of him.

Right now, they are in a meeting on what to do next. Their goal is to spread their name and gather more resources. Since Arjing village is a border village and is filled with soldiers and mercenaries, they have gained so many materials so far.

And it seems that this week, there are many people who would go out and look at the ship like it was some display in the museum for people to watch.

Some young men would even go to this place just to get a glimpse of those beautiful women in the ship especially the four women each with unique beauties and temperament, the gentle Im Jae, the frosty Hua Xiao, the haughty Vilma Song, and the aloft and queen-like Nariz Gumal.

Those women truly look like goddesses in the eyes of the many and many have been enraptured by their beauties.

But that did not limit to the women alone. Outside the barrier, one could also see many young female aristocrats from the village trying to get a glimpse of the three handsome young men, the princely-like Xiamen Gong, the burly and attractive Axle Long, and the charming but cold red-haired Ansen Wine.

These people are truly attracting too much attention which has already made the area around the ship lively.

"Making an entertainment industry in this place would also be profitable, right?" Shin Jiao teases while sitting on his chair behind the table.

"Entertainment industry? What is that?" Im Jae asked curiously.

The rest also showed confusion in their eyes.

Shin Jiao could not help but chuckle upon seeing their confusion.

"Well, it's kind of like a place where people would learn how to sing, dance, and act to entertain people. With the popularity of the seven of you, I will gain more mana stones and materials… Hahaha…"

"Master Shin!…" Im Jae immediately frowns upon hearing this.

The rest also showed discontent as they did not know if Shin Jiao would really do such a thing.

"Just kidding, why would I do that… But… if you wanted to be famous, then this might be a way though." Shin Jiao said with a slightly crafty smile.

Seeing that smile, Im Jae pouted her cute lips.

"Alright, alright, I was just messing with you. Let's move on to the next part…"

"…"

The meeting continued smoothly as Shin Jiao learned of the progress of the mages in his group.

Several mages have already reached the High Mage level, but they consumed too many resources. So he needed to produce more products to sell and earn more money.

Meanwhile, Xiamen Gong has learned to wield mana by separating a mana core from his dantian. He seems to have given it a long thought before doing such a thing.

He has asked Shin Jiao why he is able to wield the mana in this place. And with some explanation, this young man seems to have gotten the gist of it and formed his own mana sphere.

It is not that unique to form energy spheres in one's dantian. But the problem is one's resolve, deep understanding, and extreme control of one's mind. That way one can create a separate sphere inside his dantian.

When Shin Jiao learned of this he was really amazed at the talent of Xiamen Gong. It seems that he is really not that simple and his decision to help this guy and his group might be correct.

But of course, he did not dare lower his guard against them.

Though there is already a friendly atmosphere between the four women, he could still not deny the feeling of danger in his heart due to their different upbringing. Im Jae is still an innocent girl and she would easily trust anyone.

After the meeting, Shin Jiao has gotten the information he needed and decided to move his plan to the next level.

In the outside world, he has learned that his people have started making the transmission towers and that the clans are already helping them with this task.

No one has discovered that he is trapped inside the Land of Death and that he could not go out yet. Except for Luna Halil and Maga Luan, no one knew where he is. Ji Koon and Ji Ha-jun would meet him in the virtual world along with some of the officers of the Ji village to talk about matters with regards to the progress of the village.

He has given them instructions on what to do next. He plans to expand the influence of the virtual world to better the communication of the immortal land and also help train most of his people.

He knew that if the virtual world would be exposed to the clans, and even the entire immortal land, it would cause many clans and races to enter it.

The benefit of the virtual world is tremendous. Though they could not die, learn skills, and grow stronger as they continue on living, many of them have already been living in the immortal land for millennia and have not yet able to break through to another level.

But with the help of the virtual world, their minds would be open and learn faster.

One example of this is Luna Halil. She has been imprisoned for 40 thousand years and has only reached the lord-level. But now, she has already broken through the High Lord level because of the opening of her understanding of the virtual world.

Even Ji Ha-jun and the rest of those who have experienced the virtual world have improved by leaps and bounds. But the limited entry pods for the virtual world access is the problem.

As of now, only Luna could make the pods work perfectly and the other crafters could not. So the crafting is a bit slow.

Shin Jiao decided to produce some of the pods in advance, and also the half-conscious connection or virtual helmets. The difference between these two has a large margin.

Pods could give the user a full experience and could make the user's growth and understanding around 200%, the virtual helmet or half-conscious connection fall short to this. With only around 50% of one's consciousness inside the virtual world, it would only be for entertainment and nothing more.

Besides the communication device and the virtual world, Shin Jiao also learned that the announcement when the Heaven and Earth opening are going to happen has already been sent.

A year from now, the races would convene and champions will be sent to the dragon race territory where the Heaven and Earth Opening will be held. Thinking to this point, Shin Jiao feels a bit relieved.

With one year in his hand, he knew that he could figure out a way to escape this place. Plus he could also learn something about this mortal world and its secrets at the same time.

"Ahh… Too much to do, but too little time…" Shin Jiao muttered as he sat comfortably on the leather sofa.

Suddenly his eyes darted to the west as a strange sensation entered his body.. It was the sensation that someone is looking at him.
