Tokyo Demon Slayer
Chapter 350 Tokyo Demon Slayer
March 7, 2133, four days after Zhuo Wu decided to compile textbooks.
For the next four days, everything was peaceful, and the floating island drifted steadily northward.
Because of the floating island and Ah Xin's dual ability to conceal their presence, the strange creatures could not find them.
Although there are many strange things, they are not everywhere. Most of them are chasing different groups.
During these four days, Zhuo Wu approached the survivors, who worked in the fields during the day and were gathered together by him at night to brainstorm and compile teaching materials.
These survivors weren't fools; they naturally understood the importance of the teaching materials, so they tried their best to cooperate with him.
As for Anxi and Xingzi, the current teaching materials don't need to use them.
However, at Hui's suggestion, Zhuo Wu did not start compiling history textbooks, but instead began compiling mathematics, physics, and Chinese textbooks.
Of course, useless textbooks like English were excluded.
There were no teaching materials for subjects like music and art either.
In the apocalypse, having textbooks like math and language arts is already a blessing; music and art, while considered art, are just that—art.
Besides Zhuo Wu, Hui, Chu Sheng, Fang Hong, and Old Man Li were also busy.
Zhuo Wu was compiling textbooks for subjects like Chinese and mathematics, while the others were compiling courses on ideology and morality.
Although this course may seem unremarkable or even useless on the surface, Hui takes it very seriously.
Chu Sheng understood his meaning and was also aware of the importance of this course.
In fact, he considered this course to be far more important than any other course materials.
If you don't do well in other subjects, you're just a slacker at worst. But if you don't do well in this subject, you're more seriously labeled as a black sheep, a bad person among the masses.
Especially in this kind of environment.
Even if you don't learn this course well before the apocalypse, as long as you don't break the law or commit crimes, it won't be a big deal.
But survival in the apocalypse depends on the collective, especially since they are now living on a floating island.
If they were ordinary people, it wouldn't be so bad; they wouldn't have the power to cause trouble.
But if it's someone with sequence abilities, then it's hard to say.
Who knows what kind of abilities that person will gain?
So for the past four days, Hui, Chu Sheng, Old Man Li, and Fang Hong have been working together to compile this textbook.
This book doesn't teach anything else; it just emphasizes one thing.
That is, in the apocalypse, only by being together as a group can one survive.
Anyone who tries to harm the base or endanger the floating island will lose their morality and even their status as a human being.
At the same time, they will be abandoned by everyone and live under the condemnation of others for the rest of their lives; if people from other bases find out, they will do everything in their power to eliminate them.
The textbook emphasizes from all aspects that the collective must not be harmed and the floating island must not be endangered.
Whether other bases will do the same after they find out is anyone's guess, but that doesn't stop the book from writing it that way.
The point is to highlight the consequences of doing so from every angle.
"Your book is truly remarkable." Old Li held a pen in his hand, wrote a passage in his notebook, looked up at Chu Sheng, and his gaze lingered for a moment on the history book in Chu Sheng's hand.
Upon hearing his words, Chu Sheng remained silent.
He is currently reading information from the history books of time.
In the endless North Sea, the Heavenly Emperor Sequence Ones successfully subdued a branch of an alien race and named them Slimes. This marks the first time in human history that another intelligent race has been subdued!
[In the Southern Wilderness Shattered Star Region, the Netherworld Floating Island and the Huaxia Xuanwu Fire Seed Base have formed an alliance, successfully establishing a stable trading channel!]
[In the Southern Wilderness Shattered Star Region, the Huaxia Xuanwu Fire Seed Base and the team brought by the Heavenly Emperor Sequence have successfully established communication!]
In the endless, turbulent waters of the East China Sea, the mysterious Kun swallowed a team of eight hundred people led by a Sequence Seven ability user!
[In the Southern Wilderness Heavenly Fire region, Taoist practitioners with special abilities on the Netherworld Floating Island have begun compiling humanity's first textbook after the apocalypse! This is the continuation of civilization!]
In the Eastern Wilderness region, the Huaxia Fuyao Spark Base, led by individuals with intelligent abilities, has successfully completed the preliminary experiment on the extraction technology of extraordinary materials!
[In the Xishan drizzle area, the Ugly Kingdom's Noah's Ark Base and the Huaxia Xingtian Fire Seed Base have reached a cooperation agreement, successfully hunting the sixth strange creature!]
[In the Western Paradise region, a Throne-sequence ability user has been promoted to Sequence Six!]
[In the Southern Wilderness Heavenly Fire region, a Tathagata-sequence ability user has advanced to Sequence Six and is preparing to vanquish demons in Tokyo!]
"There are truly countless heroes in this world," Chu Sheng exclaimed, looking at the newly appeared records in the annals of history.
"But how did Elder Lin and the others get involved with that guy from the Heavenly Emperor sequence?"
As Chu Sheng spoke, he looked at Captain Hui beside him. Upon hearing his words, Captain Hui glanced at him and then said, "I had already calculated this problem before. It was that fishing sequence ability user who cast the line again, but this time he didn't hook them. Instead, he left a note on the hook."
"That fishing-sequence ability user is a subordinate of that Heavenly Emperor sequence user."
"With that fishing sequence ability user around, it's normal for them to establish contact with each other, after all, there are very few means of communication in the apocalypse."
"I see." Chu Sheng nodded, then continued reading the history book.
Two hours later, the voice of the underworld suddenly rang out.
“Master, Anxi asked me to inform you that there is a group of about 300 people underground ahead, and she asked you how to deal with them.”
Before Chu Sheng could react to Youming's words, Hui, who was standing to the side, asked, "How far are we from Tokyo?"
"If the calculated distance is correct, then according to my calculations, we are still 5000 kilometers away from Tokyo," Youming's voice rang out again.
"Let's go take a look." Chu Sheng closed the Book of Time and threw it on the ground, stood up, and walked towards the edge of the floating island.
The history books he had thrown on the ground slowly sank into the ground and were then transferred by the Netherworld to the Tower of the Underworld Moon.
The four of them set up a table outside the Dark Moon Tower, as Chu Sheng was unwilling to let just anyone into his residence.
Upon seeing his actions, Hui, Old Man Li, and Fang Hong also stood up and walked towards the edge of the floating island.
At the edge of the floating island, Anxi, Ah Xin, and Xingzi looked out over the island.
Fifty or sixty kilometers away from the floating island, a team of 300 people was heading in their direction.
However, the floating island is several thousand meters high, and even though there are sequence ability users among those people, they did not look up to pay attention to it, so they have not yet discovered the existence of the floating island.
On the contrary, An Xi and her two companions, having a superior vantage point, had already spotted their group.
The floating island has now come to a stop.
Chu Sheng and his three companions arrived quickly as well.
Upon seeing them, An Xi asked, "How do we do it?"
Chu Sheng glanced at her and shook his head. "Let's go down and take a look first."
"If possible, bring them up here to farm."
"As for those with sequence ability, they definitely won't survive."
As Chu Sheng spoke, Hui, standing beside him, nodded in agreement. No one else present had any objections, as this was a solution they had already agreed upon.
"This time you have to give me a sequence, I also want to improve," Old Man Li said from the side.
After learning that sequences could be looted, he had always wanted to loot a sequence so that he would have some means of self-defense.
Hearing his words, Chu Sheng pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
"There are seven of us here. Let's discuss how to divide the tasks first."
"If the other side has seven sequence ability users, then we'll each take one. If they don't have seven, then we'll just have to go first according to the pre-arranged plan."
"I don't need it. I plundered a sequence last time, and I'm still assimilating it." Hui waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be assigned anything.
Hearing his words, Chu Sheng was taken aback, "Assimilation?"
"What assimilation?"
"You don't know?" It wasn't Captain Hui who spoke, but An Xi.
Hearing Chu Sheng's words, An Xi asked with some confusion, "After plundering the sequence, although you can accelerate the growth of the sequence by feeding back, the origin of those sequences is still resisting at the beginning."
"We need to immerse ourselves in our own sequence essence; otherwise, even if we can control the plundered sequence, we will still feel the pressure."
"You didn't know?!" An Xi looked at Chu Sheng from the side, her eyes filled with disbelief.
In her eyes, this was common sense, something that anyone who had plundered the sequence could understand.
Hui thought the same way as her, so they never talked about it to each other.
Upon hearing her explanation, Chu Sheng remained silent for a moment before focusing his mind on the three sequences he had previously plundered.
As expected, just as An Xi said, these three sequences would occasionally malfunction.
The reason he didn't feel the pressure An Xi mentioned was purely because of his strong mental power.
The strength of a sequence is related to mental power. The stronger one's mental power, the higher the level of the sequence. The higher the level of the sequence, the deeper its origin.
When he was plundering the first sequence, he was not far from sequence six, and one sequence was not enough to make him feel the pressure.
He should have felt pressure when he plundered the second sequence, but because he directly advanced to sequence six and his mental power surged, he still did not feel any pressure.
Even after plundering the third sequence, he didn't feel any pressure due to the surge in his mental power.
So I didn't pay much attention to it.
But after An Xi's reminder, he observed carefully and discovered that the origins of these three plundered sequences were constantly jumping around, that is, struggling.
His sequence origin has been suppressing.
During the suppression, his sequence origin subtly infected, or assimilated, these three sequences.
In his perception, half of the original source of the mechanism sequence that was initially plundered had already been marked with the mark of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Sequence.
Therefore, the jumping force is not as strong as the other two sequences.
"Judging from this situation, I should be able to suppress five sequence origins at the same time."
"However, there are also differences in strength among the origins of sequences. If it's a concept sequence or a mythological sequence, I estimate that it can only suppress one at a time."
Chu Sheng muttered to himself, while calming his mind and slowly exhaling.
Seeing his expression, An Xi asked curiously, "Did you feel it?"
"Hmm." Chu Sheng nodded. "It's because my mental strength is too strong that I didn't sense it."
An Xi: "."
Suddenly I got shown off.
She shouldn't have said it.
An Xi felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she snorted coldly, "Don't talk to me."
"Although I can't plunder, I'll help Ah Xin catch one."
Hearing his words, Chu Sheng nodded. Although there were still three sequence origins that had not been assimilated, he could still plunder two sequences, so he naturally would not give up this opportunity to plunder sequences.
"In that case, only the captain doesn't want it."
"That"
Before he could finish speaking, Old Man Li interrupted him, "I'll trade you my ten percent rent for a sequence ability user."
Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng glanced at Old Man Li, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay."
Although the floating island belonged to him, he did not give half of the spoils to the survivors like the landlords of ancient times.
Because Old Man Li provided the seeds, he was also given 10% of the rent.
In addition to Ah Xin's abilities, he gave Ah Xin another 50%, so he now only has 35% of the rent.
In the apocalypse, nothing is more profitable than the food business.
Now, for Old Man Li to exchange 10% of the rent for a Sequence Ability User, it's actually not a loss for him.
Although he might gain some other benefits by squeezing Old Man Li, it wouldn't be worth it.
It's important to know that Old Man Li's seeds are still very valuable.
Without the seeds provided by Old Man Li, even if crops could be grown on the floating islands, the harvest cycle would have to be calculated in months.
But with Old Man Li's seeds and Old Man Li himself, the harvest cycle can be shortened considerably.
According to Old Li, crops like rice and wheat take about a month from planting to harvest, while vegetables can be harvested every three or four days.
Although one mu (unit of land area) doesn't yield as much as hybrid rice, it still produces 500 jin (unit of weight).
One mu of land, five hundred jin of grain per month.
With a radius of seven kilometers, it has 57700 mu of land available for cultivation.
The survivors could harvest 225 jin from one mu of land.
But apart from that, Wu Meng's side is the real money.
Because of the sequence, Wu Meng can cultivate on a large scale, and because of the previous sequence, Wu Meng promised him a rent of 60%.
The original agreement was that the rent for him would be 60%, but now with the addition of Old Man Li's rent, it's 70%. Even if half a percent is given to Ah Xin, he can still harvest 325 jin per mu.
After that, he could earn at least 8125 tons of staple grain every month by collecting rent!
Of course, Wu Meng's current abilities are not enough to cultivate all that land.
Even so, Wu Meng, along with the rent from the survivors, could still provide him with 10,000 to 20,000 catties of staple food per month.
There are enough transactions at the moment.
With so much grain, if Old Man Li messes up, the losses will be huge, and it's not something a single sequence ability user can make up for.
