Ye Chong had built 62 labor machines . Each labor machine was fitted with a low level bio-photon processor . Ye Chong did not mind the relatively primitive photon processors, since they were easy to make .
Using unidirectional culture methods, Ye Chong could grow large numbers of low level bio-photon processors in a short time . It was the actual labour machines that took time to build . Local wooden materials were as hard as metal alloys, but not as easy to process as metals . There were many minor tweaks that Ye Chong had to manually interfere with . Without this manual part, he would have built 620 machines, and not just 62 .
The machines were designed to do laborious physical work, so Ye Chong named them appropriately so . There was now a large heap of earth at the rear courtyard of his manor . Ye Chong had dug 60 meters further down from his laboratory . Kui's chip had information on how to build underground bases, and all the experience they gathered from building the base on Spectre .
This was immensely helpful for Ye Chong . He could have only managed a small underground basement by himself, and not a large underground base .
The base was not complete yet . There were piles of earth everywhere, but the ground was already paved with rock tiles . Ye Chong had used natural materials like rocks to save cost .
Laboratory 1 was done . The flooring was large and there were smooth slabs of rock, with naturally occurring indigo streaks . These rocks were cut with high intensity laser beams . The air circulation system was up . Energy and water supply were settled . Laboratory 1 was 1,600 square meters wide, with a square layout . The space was large enough for Ye Chong to move all the equipment he kept in the buildings topside down here .
After he moved them in, Ye Chong divided Lab 1 into many smaller sections . The lab was small but complete . Ye Chong planned to do all kinds of research work here . He built a few labs that he needed most first . However, it would take five laboratories to store all the equipment he kept in Celest's dimension keystone .
The control station for the entire manor's defense system was also moved underground . The manor was not perfectly secure for now, but it was safe enough . It would be difficult to get him from 60 meters above . The buildings on the ground were only for distraction .
It would be impossible for anyone to break into his underground base, since the surroundings were monitored by a holographic scanning system .
After a few days of intense work, Ye Chong could finally take a breather . Lab 1 was now a fully functioning laboratory . Ye Chong had spent a lot of effort in building his underground base . He did not have specialized equipment for the task, and had to do many things by hand . Ye Chong had no trouble with general construction engineering, but an underground base was usually constructed with many specialized machinery . Ye Chong had never seen or even heard of most of them . He could only build those machines roughly based on their functions . Without Ye Chong's solid foundation of knowledge and rich experience, he would not have been able to build those 62 labor machines .
Finally, he had a relatively safer base of operations . It was the result of hard work . Ye Chong looked at his base that was still under construction, and felt overwhelmed by emotions . It seemed that he had never had a base that he could call his own before this .
However, how long would he be staying here this time?
After spending an entire week in his manor, Ye Chong had to leave . There was still something else that demanded his attention - the Weapons Design Contest . He was to serve on the judge panel .
Before that, however, there was a guest that required his attention .
Xuan Ning's visit took Ye Chong by surprise . Xuan Ning was also the third person, aside from Sun Sieha and Master Karu, to have set foot inside Ye Chong's manor .
If it was anyone else, Ye Chong would have refused to entertain them . Xuan Ning, however, merited his attention .
Xuan Ning looked like a completely different person . Before the battle, he was like a blade that shone threateningly; now, he looked like the image of peace .
Ye Chong took a long glance at Xuan Ning, and asked, "You've reached Level 9?"
Xuan Ning smiled . "Yes . To think that I would reach Level 9 because of you! I thank you for this . "
"No need to thank me . It's all because of your own effort . " Ye Chong shook his head . He could see that the man's ascension had in part was due to him, but the circumstances were not pleasant . If he was forced to make a breakthrough because someone tried to kill him, saying thank you would hardly be his response .
The first thing Ye Chong would do after achieving his breakthrough would be to kill that b*stard .
The way he saw it, Xuan Ning had no need to thank him .
Xuan Ning did not argue . He laughed and said, "That's up to me to decide . "
"Well, you're right . " Ye Chong nodded . He was never interested in changing another person's mind . He asked Xuan Ning, "Why are you here?"
"Nothing much . I just felt like coming to see you," Xuan Ning shook his head and said . "I see . You can leave now then . " Ye Chong did not mince words with Xuan Ning .
Xuan Ning smiled . "I was just about to leave . "
Sha Ya could not understand the exchange between those two men, but news of Xuan Ning's ascension to Level 9 was definitely shocking . If word of this went out, it would definitely cause another wave of excitement . She watched enviously at Xuan Ning's retreating figure with mixed feelings . The first Level 9 shooter in five decades was born . Sha Ya turned her gaze back on herself - a Level 8 shooter, still far from reaching Level 9 . When would she ever attain that level of ability?
Ye Chong was also watching Xuan Ning when he suddenly had an idea . He looked to Sha Ya and said, "Come with me . I'll walk you through my battle with Xuan Ning, perhaps you'll get some inspiration from it . "
Ye Chong understood Xuan Ning's ability better than most people . He even understood Xuan Ning's final parapsychic attack . The details were worthless to normal people, but they were priceless to Sha Ya .
When Ye Chong was done, he left Sha Ya to her thoughts and headed for the training ground .
Dust was flying everywhere on the training ground . Liao San was yelling; the students were panting heavily; footsteps stomped heavily on the ground . The place was full of activity .
Now that these people had began to grasp the rhythm of running, they were no longer suffering as much . Some of them picked up certain running strategies and improved their stamina faster . However, this kind of stamina training was limited in purpose . There were other ways to further improve the students .
Soon, Ye Chong would be able to select students with desired qualities from them . A qualified mech pilot must first train their stamina, and then their shooting . Long range mech pilots placed more emphasis on shooting, but Ye Chong was not worried about that part . Eastern Cloud had laws that allow only license holders to use guns, but really, who had never used one before?
"Take it slow," Ye Chong consoled himself .
Eastern Cloud's Weapons Design Contest was held every four years . The event was not only about weapons design, but also large scale weapons trading . Weaponsmiths with any degree of reputation could sell or auction their more outstanding products in the concurrent Weapons Trading Market . Well-to-do weaponsmiths would prefer to exchange their goods for raw materials that were hard to find .
Shooters would come to barter goods that they had collected over the years, in exchange for some high grade weapons that they had longed for .
As the head of the judging panel, Ye Chong only needed to be present for the finals of the contest . He had plenty of free time on his hands .
. . .
The public square was large . Weaponsmiths put their weapons on display, while shooters laid out all kinds of rare materials . The stalls were packed closely to one another, but everyone looked about ready to burst with excitement .
Ye Chong had his eyes opened by all the weird and interesting things and raw materials on display in the stalls .
The only thing that made him uncomfortable was the fact that everyone recognized him wherever he went . They would rush in to greet him, to curry his favor, or to ask him to accept a new student . Ye Chong could barely stand the enthusiasm and excitement despite his calmness .
Ye Chong found his way out of the crowd, a mean feat by all accounts, and quickly bought a cloak . The gray colored cloak had a mask attached, so that he could hide his face . There were many people dressed in these cloaks, people who did not want to stand out, like Ye Chong . The outfit did not stand out in the crowd .
Ye Chong had a few laser guns that he made himself on him . Perhaps he could trade them for something good .
He was not interested in weapons . He mostly wandered around stalls that had raw materials on display . Many of them were metals, or gravstones, as the locals called it . Few shooters could survive Darkniss by themselves, but shooters at Level 6 or 7 would form groups to brave the dangers of Darkniss . Their target was almost always the gravstones, unique to Darkniss .
A good weapon was usually not available for cash . Famous weaponsmiths were usually not in need of money . They preferred to barter, and gravstones were popular amongst weaponsmiths .
Ye Chong, on the other hand, was more familiar with metals than any other raw material . Metal ores and minerals did not interest him . In fact, Celest's dimension keystone stored more than a few high grade metal alloy products .
Ye Chong searched around . Suddenly, something in a stall manned by a bearded man caught his eye .
