Star Trace Gate

After leaving Tang Feng's house, Ren Ye sat in the car and chatted with the deputy star official of Kyoto.

"How is it? Have you found any clues?" asked the deputy star officer.

Ren Ye did not hide his speculation in front of his own people: "Tang Feng suddenly entered the star gate after I left Binhai City. According to this clue, he most likely entered the star gate of the migration area. After all, the large-scale establishment of the government there was only after I left. Judging from the time and suddenness, the two are highly correlated."

The deputy star officer nodded.

"Just now, Huang and I found a notebook in Tang Feng's bedroom. It was about the mental hospital. However, most of the information on it should only be understood by Tang Feng." Ren Ye continued to add: "There is only one piece of information about time that can be used as a reference. I went to Binhai City at that time, and the time there was 235. Tang Feng mentioned that the mental hospital he was in might be in modern times, similar to the Republic of China here, or even later. By comparing this, we can roughly know that the star gate he is in is not a normal era, and is different from most of the migration star gates."

"Apart from these, is that all?" asked the deputy star officer.

"Yes." Ren also nodded. "At present, there are only these two pieces of information for reference. I thought about it and decided to wait for the invitation letter to be activated to see what is going on. If it doesn't work, I will speculate according to this timeline and enter some more recent migration site star gates to find him."

"I will also report to the Ministry of War and ask them to keep an eye on the star gate during this time period." The deputy star officer sighed and couldn't help but sigh: "This Tang Feng is really my nemesis. He always causes trouble for me every once in a while."

"Haha, what do you mean?" Ren Ye asked.

"The last time he and that psychopath planned to rob the Star Source Depot, it happened when I just took office." The deputy star officer looked helpless: "I was the first star officer whose Star Source Depot was almost robbed by one of my own people. In the end, he was only suspended from his post for reflection, but I was punished once for joint responsibility. The first money I spent after taking office was to strengthen the security of the Star Source Depot."

When Huang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The organization is relatively tolerant towards "special patients"."

The star official also sighed: "What a good family, what a good father. Alas, it's all in vain, he has become mentally ill."

"It's bitter before it's sweet. I think the star gate he entered is quite interesting." Ren Ye said softly, "Mental illness? It sounds very strong."

"That's true." The star official agreed: "His star gate has received attention from the higher-ups. Today, many people from the Ministry of War called to inquire about my progress. I hope everything goes well for him in there."

The three of them didn't know at the moment that Tang Feng was having a very smooth time in there. Many mentally ill people would avoid him when they saw him.

……

in the afternoon.

Ren Ye and Huang Ge had just returned to the Annual Ring Bar, but before they could enter Suzaku City, the former suddenly froze in the lobby.

"What's wrong?" Brother Huang asked.

"The invitation has been activated." Ren Ye came back to his senses and turned to look at the other party: "Countdown, there are still two days."

"so fast."

"I guess the invitations to this star gate have already been sent out." Ren Ye speculated, "Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to see the master. You go back to Qingliang Mansion first."

"Okay." Brother Huang nodded.

After the two finished chatting, Ren Ye immediately went to the Suzaku City Academy and informed Zhao Baicheng that the invitation letter had been activated.

Originally, Ren Ye was still thinking of using a few days to continue consolidating his two magical powers, the Tyrant Sword Technique and the Holy Eye, but now it seems that he doesn't have much time left.

After meeting Zhao Baicheng, the master and disciple talked for more than an hour. In the end, Ren left happily with something given by his master.

……

There are only two days left, and before Ren leaves, he needs to arrange everything in Qingliang Mansion, because Master Zhao said that this star gate is very likely to be a large-scale competitive one, with a wide variety of tasks, and there may be star gates within star gates, so it may take a long time.

In this case, he would have to formulate a development plan for the super empire in advance.

Ren Ye spent the whole day talking with Brother Huang and formulating development strategies in three major areas including government affairs, military affairs, and infrastructure.

In terms of power, with Ren Ye's departure, Brother Huang has completely reached the pinnacle, holding both military and political power, and can even appoint and dismiss the highest military commander - the acting general.

This made Old Liu, who had just arrived, so envious that his eyes turned red. For a moment, he didn't want to go to the Star Gate with Ren Ye to travel, and only wanted to be a corrupt official in Qingliang Prefecture.

More than 100,000 star sources to buy a post of a provincial governor, this deal was simply too good to be true. He was very satisfied and even thought he had made a profit.

In terms of government affairs, Ren also asked Huang Ge to pay more attention to the talents in the prefecture, and to promote some capable officials to the stage to help him.

Secondly, in addition to building military factories for southern Xinjiang and solving some employment problems for the people, the main direction of economic development is still trade. But now we have to make preparations for both situations. We can first develop animal husbandry. Because Qingliang Prefecture is mountainous and the land is scarce, farming is obviously not promising. However, the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang are rich in horses and exotic beasts.

Brother Huang could easily do business with the bandits in Jingshan, introduce good stallions, have the common people raise them, and then sell them to the surrounding neighbors.

This idea was approved by Brother Huang, who repeatedly emphasized: "The chairman of the empire is definitely a good candidate for being a profiteer. Through the continuous operation of the empty-handed Taibai Wolf, he actually turned the Qingliang Mansion, which was in debt and starved, into a living state."

Secondly, in terms of military, we must continue to maintain the number of 30,000 troops stationed in the city, but from now on, we must slowly replace them. Those old soldiers, stragglers, and slackers can be gradually eliminated from the team, but they must be given minimum living allowances and resettlement.

If all else fails, they can raise horses. This will not only solve the employment problem for veterans, but also solve the problems of low combat effectiveness and bloated military units. Most importantly, it will improve the quality of raising military horses, which can be regarded as making the best use of people's talents.

It’s a win-win-win situation, there’s no reason not to do it.

After a day of discussion, the general idea had become clear, and Qingliang Mansion was still thriving.

……

Day two.

The sworn brother, Fatty Wu, came to visit with two young and beautiful sisters-in-law (both were Lu Long's wives). He heard that King Huai's sworn brother was leaving, so he came to say hello and improve their relationship.

Ren also held a banquet in the government office, and the two brothers had a very pleasant conversation.

"Second brother, I originally wanted to invite the Dragon Head to Jingshan and come with me, but who knew that he would leave tomorrow and it might take a long time for him to return. Well, I will introduce you to him when I have the chance in the future." Fatty Wu didn't know whether he was bragging or showing off his connections in the upper class.

Ren also heard that the other party would leave tomorrow, and he suddenly felt a little "coincidental": "What big thing is our Dragon Chief going to do? Why is he leaving in such a hurry?"

"I heard that they are going to travel to a small secret place." Fatty Wu said softly, "They have been preparing for a long time."

Are you really going to travel the Star Gate? And you're leaving tomorrow, at the same time as me?

Holy shit, is this a coincidence?

No, no, no. The leader of the Qianli Green Camp can manage such a big business, so it is definitely impossible that he is only at the second level. He should not be going to the same place as me. Moreover, modern star gates rarely invite enlightened people from ancient star gates to enter. The princess is an example.

If she hadn't had her own invitation, she wouldn't have been able to enter Giant City last time.

"Okay, when there's a chance, I'll let big brother introduce you to someone." Ren Ye clasped his fists and said, "After I leave tomorrow, big brother will need to worry about this trade matter and give me more care."

"Okay, okay." Fatty Wu said, "The bandit leader of Jingshan is also running errands for others, but the brotherhood between us is our own! I, Wu, know which side is close and which side is far, hahaha!"

He was too good at talking, but King Huai was also a great talker: "If you take good care of me, I won't let you work in vain. After seeing the benefits, we brothers will be able to talk... I have specifically told Prefect Huang that some of your hobbies and needs can be found in Qingliang Mansion."

"Haha, ok, cheers!"

"cheers!"

The two of them pretended to communicate their feelings for a full hour, and then the banquet ended.

Ren Ye personally escorted Fatty Wu to the door of the wing room and deliberately asked, "Brother, you and...the two Madams Lu...!"

"The three of us can stay in one room." Fatty Wu said righteously, "My eldest brother Lu Long has passed away. The two sisters-in-law have been too frightened and heartbroken recently. They have trouble sleeping every night. Naturally, I have to give them more guidance."

"That makes sense, that makes sense." Ren also nodded and smiled: "Then please."

"How about... King Huai join me in counseling and comforting him?" Fatty Wu invited kindly.

"No, no, I'm not good at persuading." Ren Ye's hair stood on end and he waved his hand to refuse.

"Hehe..." Fatty Wu smiled and walked into the room.

Ren Ye looked at his back and said speechlessly: "...He is a kind-hearted person."

That night, he called the princess and Lao Liu and began to prepare to enter the star gate.

……

In Xiangjiang City, in a bar box under the jurisdiction of the Bell Club.

Seven players, dressed simply and with reserved emotions, were already sitting on the sofa.

Among these seven people, six were familiar with Wang Tu Dou, and one was a newcomer.

After a while, Wang Tu Dou stepped in. He was stunned when he saw the newcomer and asked softly, "Who is...?"

A middle-aged man in his thirties stood up and replied with a smile: "He is a replacement and has great abilities."

Wang Tu Dou looked at the newcomer and saw that she was a woman in her thirties, so he nodded and said, "You go out first, we'll talk."

"Go out?" The woman was a little surprised.

"Correct."

"......!" The woman was silent for a while and walked away.

After Wang Tudou sat down, he spoke briefly: "The tickets cost 200,000 Star Source. Each person is spending 100,000 to purchase. Is there a problem?"

The remaining six people didn't say a word, but just nodded in agreement.

Their team shares risks and investments equally, and those who are able to come here all recognize Wang Tudou's way of doing things.

If there were outsiders here, they would definitely be very surprised. These players are not of high level and have average talent, but they can easily take out 200,000 or 300,000 star sources and look like they are all very rich.
