"Xia He, I must say I'm truly impressed with you. That Crimson Moon's method of training people really exceeded my imagination."
In the forest, Yang Tao looked Xia He up and down, as if seeing her for the first time, and threw the money from the bag into his backpack.
To be honest, after Yang Tao let Xia He go, he never thought she would actually send the money over.
But now, he felt a joy akin to finding money on the street. It wasn't about the amount of money, but an unexpected pleasant surprise.
"Xia He, listen to me. You've already changed. If you want to, you can go find Zhang Lingyu. You still hold some place in his heart, and I imagine you haven't forgotten him either."
Xia He didn't refute but nodded gently.
"Do you have anything else?"
"No, let's go!"
Yang Tao waved his hand, signaling Xia He to leave. Xia He slightly cupped her hands and then leaped directly into the forest.
The surroundings were now a mess.
He pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed Zhang Chulan's number.
With a ringing sound, Zhang Chulan's voice quickly came through the phone: "Hello, Big Brother… you really scared your little brother to death."
"Heh heh, don't think too much. With such a big incident happening today, the attention of the Outcast World will definitely be on me. You, kid, have excellent talent and are a smart person. Take this opportunity to cultivate well."
"Also, tell Xu Si that of the Four Fiends, only Xia He survived; the other three are dead. Oh, and that guy named Yuan Tao and his apprentice are also dead. Let All Heavens Connect's people come clean up. I've solved so many troubles for him with Quanxing, so he should treat me to Red Romance next time."
Zhang Chulan heard the voice from the phone and looked up at Xu Si, who was standing beside him.
Xu Si took a puff of his cigarette and said directly: "Mr. Yang, the commotion you caused this time is truly too big. Ah~ the Red Romance matter might have to wait a while."
"It's fine, I have other things to do anyway. I'll call you when I come next time."
Yang Tao glanced at the exploration value of The Outcast, which was 57.65%. He would come back again when he had time, maybe he could raise the exploration value to 75%, which would allow him to get new mods.
"Okay, no problem."
Xu Si readily agreed.
"Alright then, I still have some things to do, so I'll hang up first. Say hello to Old Celestial Master for me and tell him I caused trouble."
As Yang Tao's words fell, Zhang Chulan's phone began to emit a busy signal.
Feng Xingtong, who was also nearby, chuckled awkwardly and said: "This Big Brother Yang is quite polite…"
His words instantly drew the attention of the others around him.
Xu Si looked at Feng Xingtong and said: "Hmm, he is indeed quite polite. In just those two sentences, five people died, and all of them were experts from Quanxing."
"Dou Mei, Shen Chong, Gao Ning, the artifact master Yuan Tao, and his apprentice… Tsk tsk, at least half of Quanxing's experts were lost here at Longhu Mountain in this wave, and there's also that so-called Acting Leader Acting Leader Gong Qing. The other Quanxing fiends who escaped won't let him off either."
"This Grand Luotian Ritual is truly lively…"
On the other side, Yang Tao had summoned the wooden door and returned to the Main World.
Lazily sitting in the office chair, Yang Tao showed an expression of clear understanding. When he used to watch the anime, he truly hated Wang Bing and Wang Ai so much that his teeth itched.
He wished he could send razor blades to the author.
As for the Four Fiends, they were just an added bonus.
"The Outcast~"
Yang Tao tilted his head back, looking at the square sun in the sky, recalling the legend of ascension in The Outcast.
He then shook his head, thinking to himself: 'Immortality is too far… being an ordinary person is also quite good.'
"Oh, right, Ex Nihilo."
The Ex Nihilo mod can be said to be a powerful helper in skyblock survival.
It provides many ways to obtain resources, such as: barrels that can create dirt and clay blocks, sieves that can produce minerals, crucibles that can create magma from cobblestone, and so on.
Yang Tao could say he was very, very familiar with this mod.
He stood up from the office chair and walked towards the chest where the potted plants were kept. Opening the chest, he saw that it already contained oak logs, leaves, sticks, and apples.
"It would be great if things from Minecraft could be exchanged for energy points."
He took out some oak from inside. Following the normal development route, he would first need to plant trees to obtain logs, then craft a hook, and then use the hook to destroy leaves to obtain silkworms.
Then put the silkworms on the leaves and wait quietly for the leaves to turn white, which would yield string.
Step by step, he would obtain water, magma, and cobblestone.
Then he would craft hammers and sieves, which would make resources virtually infinite.
However, Yang Tao didn't need to go through all that trouble. He walked to the chest containing various minerals and directly rummaged through it for all the necessary minerals.
"Are there so few diamonds?"
Yang Tao was a little surprised to see only over a hundred diamonds in the chest, mainly because he usually didn't need diamonds at all, so he never paid attention to them.
He put all the diamonds from the chest into his backpack. However, he wouldn't have to worry about a lack of diamonds in the future. The Ex Nihilo sieve could sift out various minerals from gravel, naturally including diamonds.
Carrying the materials, he walked to the crafting table and crafted the sieve and mesh needed for Ex Nihilo. Yang Tao looked around and decided to find a place to build a cobblestone generator.
'This is getting a bit messy…'
Previously, every time Yang Tao acquired a mod, he would find a spot in the Overworld to place things. These scattered items looked a bit disorganized.
Yang Tao frowned slightly, and then a sudden idea flashed through his mind.
'The Girls' Last Tour world has already been pixelated, and there are no people in it… it's perfect to move the Ex Nihilo setup there directly!'
Not just Ex Nihilo, if there were other mods in the future, they could also be directly placed in the Girls' Last Tour world, as the conditions were suitable.
As for the monster spawning issue.
Just some original monsters were nothing to fear. The huge platform where Ishii (the plane girl) was located before was perfectly suited for placing various items.
After thinking it through.
Yang Tao immediately set off towards the wooden door leading to the Girls' Last Tour world.
Arriving in this world again, it was nighttime, with a crescent moon hanging high in the sky.
Wahhh Wahhh…
As soon as he arrived, he heard the enthusiastic sounds of Zombies.
Whoosh.
An arrow flew towards him, which he easily blocked with his Yamato.
"Sure enough, with monsters, this world is much livelier."
The surroundings were all buildings, and it was nighttime, so it was impossible to kill all the monsters here. So Yang Tao didn't waste any time, directly summoning his magic broom and flying straight up into the sky.
He flew towards the huge platform.
However, when he arrived, he found the platform densely packed with various monsters.
"Looks like it's still a big project…"
He directly summoned a Mutated Iron Golem, and while placing torches, he cleared out the surrounding monsters.
