Data Wasteland

During the battle, Chen Xing quickly discovered that the effective range of his clone was about 15 meters. Beyond this distance, the clone will become blurred and translucent, and at the same time it will lose its ability to interfere with matter.

In addition, creating a clone needs to consume 18 units of psionic energy, which is equivalent to nine energy storage shots, three to four compressed energy storage shots, and continuously consumes 1.2 to 1.3 units of psionic energy every three minutes. .

Chen Xing's mental power level is 120 points. Although it seems to be quite a lot, it is estimated that the spiritual pool will soon be exhausted due to the consumption of other skills during the battle. This is still on the premise that he has an endless sea area, and the spirit pool has doubled. If he is talented in other fields, he will immediately be stretched and unsustainable.

However, the effect of the wheel battle is also extremely obvious. The two maids were tossed to death in less than half an hour, which is evident from this.

The cargo ship sailed on the edge of the ice blue Hu, the water and the sky were all the same, quiet and leisurely. From time to time, you can see the oncoming luxury yachts, and the beautiful women on the white and smooth deck, wearing bikini swimsuits, are plump and thin, beautiful and fragrant.

Perhaps it was because Chen Xing had never been to the royal capital, and Lao Ji and the old ship merchant introduced to Chen Xing the customs of Ice Blue City, as well as various rules and precautions.

According to Laoji, Ice Blue City is a place where "nobles are as numerous as dogs, and princes walk everywhere". There are only three kinds of people in the city, nobles, vassals, and those who are about to become nobles or vassals. So don't offend people easily, otherwise a marquis, duke, or even a prince accidentally will cause unnecessary trouble even if the family is in decline.

The city is home to a very large number of fallen aristocrats. They may be lack of their own abilities, or they may be lazy, or they may be lying on the ancestor's great achievements for other reasons, eating and drinking, waiting to die.

These people are the most solid supporters of the noble rules, because apart from this, they can't do anything to be proud of.

There is an old saying in Ice Blue City: "Money can't buy decent."

But in fact, money can buy everything. The nobles with strength will never be short of money. Only the nobles with no strength will emphasize "decent." It is precisely because of this that if a wealthy businessman from the bottom wants to join the noble circle, he must marry a noble lady and integrate into a "decent" life. Only the declining aristocracy can get wealth for nothing, and it can continue.

"Decent" is the most important link in the core values ​​of Ice Blue City, and everything must be decent.

Not hiring a sufficient number of servants is not decent. A nobleman needs to be equipped with a housekeeper, male frequency, maid, cook, coachman, and gardener. In the eyes of the people at the bottom, it is extravagance and waste, but in the aristocratic circle it is an obligation to provide employment opportunities.

Ice Blue City follows the old tradition and does not allow motor vehicles to approach, only horse-drawn carriages and battery carts are allowed. Without your own carriage and stables, without one or two noble descent horses, it would be undecent.

It is not decent to light oil lamps and candles at night, and it is not decent to turn on electric lights; in winter, it is not decent to use electric stoves for the key points of winter; it is not decent to go out without a housekeeper and a maid.

What to eat at breakfast, what to eat at afternoon tea, what to eat at dinner, what to eat in different seasons, and what to eat on different holidays.

Clothes on a sunny day, clothes on a cloudy day, clothes on a rainy day, clothes for riding a horse, clothes for a dinner party, clothes for a prom involve every bit of life. Regarding decent rules, even seven days and nights can't be said.

Chen Xing's head was dizzy, and it seemed that he could only put it aside first, and then study slowly when he got there.

When the cargo ship arrives at the Red and Blue River, it can no longer move forward, because the foreign ships are not clean enough and must be changed to luxury yachts or steam trains.

Chen Xing rented a yacht and went down the Red and Blue River. The river is blue and clear, with flowers and grasses growing on the bank, and ancient sculptures can be seen everywhere

, As if being in a river in a park.

Farther away are lawns and groves, verdant and green, and lakes of all sizes are faintly visible, like a mirror placed on the ground.

Just as Jinfen Port is also known as "Qianfan Port", Ice Blue City is also known as "Thousand Lake City".

The crew on the ship was uniformly dressed in dark blue seaman uniforms with white gloves, and every movement was meticulous. In the face of two pretty maids, he can keep his eyes open and concentrate.

"Sir, Ice Blue City is coming soon."

The captain walked to the deck and saluted Chen Xing. Chen Xing nodded in return. Not long after, an ice-carved jade castle appeared at the end of the river.

Just like a castle in a fairy tale, the bricks and stones are transparent and blue, with ice souls and jade souls. Standing on the top of the capital like a swan, noble and pure, beautiful as poetry and painting.

There are multiple independent piers on the shore, and one or two yachts are parked next to each pier. On the dock stood waiters in red and white hats, neatly lined up, waiting for the arrival of distinguished guests. At the end of the boardwalk are several carriages, the horses are tall and luxurious in style. There is a white battery car in the distance, which looks small and crowded, and there is a platform for luggage behind it, which seems to be for the servants to ride.

When Chen Xing got off the ship, a steward at the dock in a tuxedo came forward to receive him.

"Sir, good noon." After receiving a nod from Chen Xing, he asked again, "Sir, where do you stay?"

"Go to the Noble Hall first." Chen Xing said. Now that I have come here, I have to go through the formalities first, so as not to be regarded as a servant.

"Sir, please here." The dock steward sent Chen Xing and the two maids into the carriage, and then arranged for others to make the battery cart.

"Drive!" yelled the coachman, flicking his whip, two horses more than three meters high, raised the white-haired calf, and stepped on small steps, gradually accelerating.

The decoration inside the carriage is simple and elegant, with beige floral fabric stitched on it, and a small oil lamp hung on the top. The fresh breeze is coming. Although it is summer, the temperature here is not high and the wind is cool. It is very comfortable without the need to turn on the air conditioner.

"Boom boom boom..."

Horseshoe trot on the stone road and entered the side gate of the city in about twenty minutes.

The curved stone porch is like a bridge hole, which is more than 30 meters long when passing by. In other words, the outer wall of Ice Blue City is more than 30 meters thick. An oil lamp hung on the wall, and the light was dim. After a while, the eyes lit up, as if traveling through time and space and entering a medieval town.

The streets are winding, the houses are old and thick, the arches above the stone steps are small and exquisite, the flower pots are hung under the rectangular wooden window sills, and the gilded wooden signs are hung on the corner walls, full of life.

After running on the street for a while, the carriage turned into the spacious street, where flowers were blooming and lush. All kinds of carriages come and go. There is a small water fountain every tens of meters in the middle of the road, spraying small water splashes.

"Wow~" The two maids looked out of the car with wide-eyed eyes, looking very strange.

The horses strolled slowly in the garden. Pedestrians on both sides of the road walked in an orderly manner, not hurriedly, not hurriedly, not hurriedly like office workers in big cities. Everything here is very slow, as if the flow of time is also falling,

While traveling, it took more than half an hour for the carriage to arrive at the Hall of the Nobles.

The two maids followed Chen Xing into the aristocratic hall one by one. This round hall has sofas facing each other on both sides, with a passage of several meters in between. The reception staff ran over, first arranged a seat, and then brought lemonade and hot towels.

A female office worker with a portable screen came and asked Chen Xing about matters.

"Do you go through the noble formalities for the first time?"

"Well, please wait a moment, I will check your information first, and then submit the application for you. It only takes a few minutes to complete..."

The female clerk operated on the screen for a while, and Chen Xing's black watch automatically lit up.

[The information has been reviewed and applied for the status of Baron of the United Kingdom of Ambergris River]

"drop…"

[The application has been approved, congratulations to Mr. Chen Erliu for obtaining the title of Baron, the world announcement has been issued]

[The territory interface has been opened, currently no territory]

[Social credit has been improved from "good" to "perfect", please cherish your feathers]

[Already received a baron subsidy, a monthly subsidy of 200 gold, paid on the 25th of each month, and a harvest festival subsidy of 800 gold, paid on December 20th every year]

[Have obtained the court maid contract document*1, you can go to the Royal Maid Academy to select a court maid]

…

"My Lord Baron, the procedures have been completed." The female clerk bowed and said.

"Thank you." Chen Xing nodded and said, then glanced at Ye Qian beside him. The latter knows, and takes out two gold coins as a tip from the pocket on his waist.

"Thank you, sir." The female clerk took the tip, bowed again, and then glanced at Ye Qian, suggesting, "The adult is already a nobleman. It is best to hire a suitable housekeeper to handle all the procedures for you. This is more decent."

Tips are generally given by the housekeeper, and the maid is disgraced.

"Where can I get the butler?" Chen Xing asked.

"The Butler Center on West Fifth Street," the female clerk replied.

"If I want to apply for territory, who should I go to?" Chen Xing asked again.

The female clerk showed a puzzled expression, but did not answer, probably because she felt inappropriate. Chen Xing realized that he might have asked a silly question, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm sorry, I took the liberty."

"It's okay." The female clerk said with a smile.

Leaving the Noble Hall, Chen Xing did not go to the Butler Center, but searched for nearby hotels online. It seems that territorial matters are not so easy to solve, so we should settle down first.

More than ten minutes later, the carriage took Chen Xing and others to the hotel. A well-dressed waiter came up to open the door and led the crowd into the hotel lobby.

Looking around, there are many animal head specimens hanging on the wall of the hotel, which are lifelike, most of which are elk, but also bears and lions. All kinds of shotguns hung above the specimens, which are old and exquisite in workmanship. There are wood in the corner, and various knives hung on the fireplace, giving it the feeling of a hunter's cabin in the woods.

"Welcome to the Deer Hunter Hotel, honorable lord, please allow me to serve you."

The lobby manager stepped forward to receive.

"What room do you have?" Chen Xing asked.

"We have a regular suite, one master room, three guest rooms, five servant rooms, and a separate kitchen. The price is 22 gold coins a day; the manor suite, one master room, five guest rooms, and eleven servant rooms. Independent kitchen, sky garden and steam bath, the price is thirty-nine gold coins a day; the governor's suite, one master room, nine guest rooms, seventeen servant rooms, and another..."

Chen Xing didn't bring many people, so he asked for a manor suite. Although he has money, he can't spend it arbitrarily. He only talks about ostentation but not the actual upstart.

"My lord, I want to find an old friend."

After settled down, Lao Ji asked Chen Xing for leave, and Chen Xing naturally would not disagree.

After a while, Laoji put on a black dress, walked out of the hotel, and walked in the direction he remembered...
