My Salvation Game Became true?!-Chapter 128 - 127: A Brand-New Torch Secret Realm!

Chapter 128: Chapter 127: A Brand-New Torch Secret Realm!

“Passengers, we will soon arrive at Shuize South Station. Those disembarking at Shuize South Station, please prepare to do so and ensure you have all your personal belongings…”

The high-speed train gradually slowed down as it entered Shuize City’s southern station.

With a hissing sound, the train’s doors opened, and passengers carrying large and small bags began to disembark.

Fang You, on the other hand, carried nothing in his hands except for an inconspicuous glove fitted on his right palm. Within the glove’s internal space, he had packed a number of items, including spare clothes, daily necessities, food, and local products purchased from Yunling State.

He had stuffed Heaven’s Net Hand to the brim.

As he walked out of the station, the driver arranged by Little Illusion was already waiting there.

The driver was a man in his early thirties who couldn’t contain his excitement upon seeing Fang You; his face turned red, and he trembled as he greeted, “Instructor.”

“Let’s go.”

Fang You waved his hand.

He had seen such scenes before and had grown accustomed to them.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

The young man was part of the third group of trainees from Training Base One. Since the establishment of the base, Little Illusion had been recruiting talents from various parts of Dong Huang, batch by batch.

The subsequent batches didn’t have as many people as the first one, but they still consisted of thirty to fifty individuals. Typically, every one or two days, or two to three days, a new group of trainees would arrive.

They followed the same mountain path and went through the same assessments within the white misty realm.

By now, the whole training base already had several hundred personnel, and under Little Illusion’s management, the divisions of labor were clear-cut, and not everyone was there just for training.

Some had been chefs before arriving here and now took responsibility for the base’s meals.

Some were in charge of food procurement, and others patrolled and stood guard below the mountain.

All these roles were rotated. Their main task was still training, but they could also earn extra wages for working in different positions, as well as a very limited number of Xinhuo contribution points.

It could be said that the training base was capable of operating on its own without any issues.

There were people from all trades and professions here, causing Fang You to wonder whether Little Illusion, when selecting talents, had given priority to those whose professional skills would be useful?

Well, the selection was excellent.

This old car driver, for example, drove fast and stable the whole way, swiftly returning to the resort.

At this time,

Most of the official Angel Envoys were still out, and only Pei Hongjing, who was nearby, had returned here first—that, and Wang Chui, the master who had been ‘kicked out’ of the base.

“Is the base expanding?”

Pei Hongjing asked.

“Yeah, but I, Old Wang, am also clueless about the specifics,”

Wang Chui stroked his smooth head, quite puzzled.

He had been designing a new type of weapon before, according to the instructor’s requirements: a weapon that ordinary people could use, capable of long-range attacks.

Yes, an enhanced long-range version of the Fire Pearl and Thunder Talisman.

Wang Chui had to admit the design of these two weapons, which ordinary people could use and cause harm to Mysterious Evil, was quite ingenious.

They combined materials, Awakened Ability, and modern technology.

He had already understood the intricacies and was focusing on improvements, but there were still numerous difficulties.

The materials were limited, and many ideas were unfeasible with current conditions, leading Wang Chui deep in thought until he was suddenly ordered to leave the base.

“Ugh, it just doesn’t feel right not to be hammering away at something; I’m going to find something to hammer on…”

As Wang Chui was about to leave, he caught sight of Fang You with sharp eyes.

Taking three steps in two, he approached, “Instructor, when will the expansion of the base be completed?”

Pei Hongjing, a few seconds slower, also caught up and pricked up his ears.

Fang You listened attentively.

In his mind,

‘Ding!’

‘Notice: Xinhuo Base upgrade complete, now upgraded to ‘Xinhuo Secret Realm’, please inspect for details.’

He said, “You can go in now.”

He headed towards the loft that linked to the base—or now, the Secret Realm—wearing a wide stride.

Wang Chui was eager; Fang You was no less so. If it weren’t for both Master Wang and Pei Hongjing’s presence and if it weren’t for the many newcomers around that required him to maintain his persona, he would have used ‘Illusory Void Step’ and flown there on the spot.

He was a man who could fly!

After all, it wasn’t far. Fang You entered the loft to be greeted by the foolish cat holding a tablet.

In front of it, a computer, a tablet, a smartphone, and a countless heap of cat cans… Damn! How did it get so many cat cans?

Accepting bribes is unacceptable.

Fang You was distressed, but checking out the base was more important at the moment, so he chose to ignore the cat and proceeded to the entrance door.

Now, the door had undergone some changes.

The once silver door looked more rustic and had expanded a bit, with a barely discernible glow moving across its surface, mysterious and extraordinary.

It was quite a spectacle.

He paused for a moment before placing his hand on the door. It felt cool to the touch. With a gentle push and a ceremonial air, he opened the grand door.

Immediately, strands of golden brilliance seeped through.

It was as if there was a curtain obstructing the view inside;

But as soon as they entered, it felt like passing through a water curtain, stepping into another world.

He stopped in his tracks.

Even more astonishing were the reactions of Wang Chui and Pei Hongjing, who widened their eyes, blinked, and rubbed them.

“Is this the entrance corridor?!!”

The previous corridor was spacious, with murals on both sides that highlighted an ancient heritage.

But now, it was completely different.

The corridor had expanded several times over, being twenty or thirty meters wide and possibly tens of meters high. Besides the huge murals, there were also latticed windows on the walls.

The warm golden sunlight was coming in through them.

How could there be sunlight inside the base?

Pei Hongjing still retained some composure, while Wang Chui had none, pressing his face against the window.

Fang You paused for a moment.

In his eyes, various expressions of surprise flickered, but he stood at the forefront, back to the others, striving to manage his facial expressions.

It seemed as if he paused to wait for Wang Chui and casually glanced to one side.

Golden light spilled down.

Outside the window was an endless expanse of gold, blue sky and white clouds, making the entire corridor seem like it was suspended in the air, which was quite spectacular.

No, perhaps it wasn’t just like it.

Now, this place had already become the Xinhuo Secret Realm, and it was more likely that the entire main body of the base was floating in the air.

The warm golden sun was outside.

Fang You maintained his mentor persona, walking through the bright corridor with ‘calm and steady’ composure, and when he entered the hall, the scene before his eyes was even more enlightening.

As expected, it was several times larger than before.

It might as well be called the Xinhuo Palace now.

In the center of the palace, tiles of various colors laid out the pattern of Xinhuo.

The red flames burned fiercely; above them, an upside-down sword was inserted, with flames spreading from the blade to the hilt. It was the flame of legacy, illuminating the patterns on the sword.

The eternal flame, the legacy’s flame, and the sharp blade that cuts through all darkness.

This was Xinhuo.

One felt incredibly small in this grand hall, which also felt a bit too spacious.

Fang You came back to his senses quickly; he was more concerned about the practicality than the changes in appearance.

He checked it out.

‘Hint: At the current level, new functional buildings can be developed on any one of the first, second, or third floors, including “Forging Workshop,” “Medical Room,” etc., with the following fees.’

‘Hint: At the current level, up to three Secret Realm entrances can be developed.’

‘Hint: At the current level, a fourth-floor space can be developed in the main base, “Planting Garden Area,” “Breeding Garden Area,” which can only be constructed on the fourth floor.’

‘Hint: Training grounds and Angel Envoy dormitories can be upgraded.’

The resting room was renamed Angel Envoy Dormitory, where an upgrade would not only improve the enhancement effects but also expand the entire dormitory’s size, enriching its interior furnishings and so on.

The cost of upgrading was 50 Mysterious Crystals.

To see the exact effects, he’d have to give it a try after the upgrade, so Fang You clicked to test the waters.

Immediately,

‘Ding!’

‘Hint: Dormitory One has begun upgrading and renovations; it is currently closed, with an estimated upgrade time of ‘6 hours’.’

Wait a minute, wouldn’t this mean he couldn’t return to his own room to rest?

Miscalculation!

Forget it. What rest does a real man need!

Time to train!

The training ground upgrades were similar, enhancing the beneficial effects as well as expanding the scale.

The cost was a bit more expensive, 100 Mysterious Crystals per training ground, but the training ground’s usefulness indeed outstripped that of the dorms… like Brother Black Blade, and himself, most of the time they were soaking in the training grounds.

There’s a reason for the high price.

He upgraded two at once, then started developing the fourth-floor space, simultaneously creating a “Forging Workshop” and “Medical Room.”

Money flowed like water.

He just couldn’t hold onto those Mysterious Crystals!

No more looking!

The training ground upgrades took six hours, while other building developments, along with the fourth floor development, took longer—12 hours and 24 hours, respectively.

Fang You wasn’t going to wait idly, so he went into one of the training grounds and began his training.

His figure flickered, leaving trails of afterimages as he sometimes sped across the ground, and at other times stepped into the sky.

This was the expert-level “Illusory Void Step” borrowed from Black Blade.

It allowed him to walk on air and create afterimages.

Just the ability to walk on air was incredibly useful, and it was only with this skill that he could ascend to the heavens.

He was determined, set to stick to this skill, to keep practicing until he mastered the basics!

‘Ding!’

‘Hint: ‘Level Two Training Ground×2′ has completed upgrading, training focus increased by 50%, skill/ability consumption reduced by 30%’.

As time passed,

The notification sound from Xiao Huan rang in his ears.

…

Training Grounds One and Two were now updated to Level Two Training Grounds.

A ring of silver trimmings was now embedded around the door, which was also taller and more imposing.

When he pushed the door open to enter, the place before him was breathtaking; the space was immense, much larger than the Flying Bird Sports Hall of the Imperial Capital, with towering walls and the dome patterned with the blue sky and white clouds.

It was as if stepping into another world.

The entire second-level training ground could be roughly divided into two parts, one side being the Martial Arts Platform with the sturdiest ground and an energy barrier around it.

It allowed one to fully unleash their skills and also serve as a place for sparring and combat.

The other side was the training equipment area.

There were conventional speed tracks, indestructible punching bags, more advanced strength testing machines and more, as well as some new equipment like the powerful wooden dummies, electromagnetic training devices, etc. Fang You took a round and expressed satisfaction.

He didn’t actually need so many, nor did he need these fancy gadgets.

What he trained most were skills.

But, the new recruits needed them.

They, and their instructor Black Blade, would likely love them.

…

Luo Jianxing and others, who had just traveled back to the training base, suddenly shivered.

Meanwhile,

at the foot of the mountain,

coming out of Shuize South Station, and having followed Black Blade all the way by running, Xing Jing Lei looked ahead at the still firm-paced figure and gasped for air, “Fuck! Is this guy even human!”

“At least we’ve finally made it.”

He looked up at the resort enshrouded in a faint mist in front of him.

He felt some anticipation.

This place that looked like a tourist attraction, was this their Xinhuo headquarters?
