Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 418 - 415: Spring Festival at the Giant Fern Mountain Range
After the Awakened forces of the military cleared the flatlands around Giant Fern Volcano, modern machinery moved in and began construction, erecting buildings.
First, they built a small house for Bai Pu on the original volcanic crater for his study, living, and rest when not cultivating.
Then, a small city was constructed on Henggu Plain...
Bai Pu trained hard in the Boundary Land, occasionally receiving contact from the Secret Arrow Shooter squad, riding a Winged Dragon to the target location to kill Leader Level dinosaurs.
Sometimes, the Blood Spider roaming in the Spirit Realm would summon Bai Pu over to join battles.
Bai Pu experienced the benefits of being summoned, facing combat immediately upon appearing, and the enemies Blood Spider couldn’t handle were typically numerous and strong.
Bai Pu skipped the time-consuming process of familiarizing himself with the environment and making arrangements in the Spirit Realm, allowing him to reap Spirit Realm Treasure Chests with maximum speed and efficiency.
As days passed by, Bai Pu welcomed his first Spring Festival since becoming an Awakened.
This New Year’s Eve, Bai Pu spent it in the Boundary Land of Giant Fern Mountain.
In reality, Bai Pu watched families reunite in joyous scenes, feeling somewhat downhearted. Although many new friends invited Bai Pu to spend the New Year at their homes, he tactfully declined.
Abundant family happiness wasn’t something a stranger should disrupt.
It’s important to know one’s place.
Bai Pu didn’t celebrate the New Year in the world of Flesh Aberrations either, as they didn’t have the New Year tradition.
However, Bai Pu summoned Qin over for lady teacher courses.avi.
Qin consumed 66 points of Bai Pu’s Blood River Fighting Qi per minute; with the 15% energy reduction from the Iron Wall Knee Guards, it was only 56 points.
In Giant Fern Mountain Range, Bai Pu could recover 10 points of energy per second, so even with ten Qins, he could manage.
Originally, Bai Pu expected this New Year to pass just like that.
Unexpectedly, on New Year’s Eve, both Li Ling and Blood Spider came over.
Blood Spider brought a New Year gift for Bai Pu, a book of native skills insights.
[Nine-Turned Pear Blossom Spear Technique Diagram: Special item, records the ordinary techniques of the Nine-Turned Pear Blossom Spear Technique. Practicing this spear technique can double the improvement rate of your Long-Handled Weapon Specialization, granting specific passive bonuses.]
[Note: The doubling effect of specialization improvement speed for this spear technique diagram is only effective for Advanced Level 6 and below (including Advanced Level 6).]
This wasn’t a Mystical Arts insight, just a skill insight, without any mystical techniques, and its value was certainly not comparable to Blood Spider’s [Floating World Void Silence Swordsmanship Biography].
But it was already very precious, enough for countless low and mid-level Awakened to fight over.
Li Ling, on the other hand, brought a large number of New Year’s items from her home for Bai Pu’s small house, including Spring Festival couplets, paper-cut decorations, and Fu characters, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Bai Pu was touched and gave both Li Ling and Blood Spider a return gift, consisting of spiritual treasures harvested during the development of Giant Fern Mountain Range.
For Li Ling, it was a miniature sculpture of a Molten Rock Radiant Dragon Stone. Originally just a rather valuable material, Bai Pu added a one-time teleportation privilege of Giant Fern Mountain Range to this miniature sculpture.
In the real world, Li Ling could activate the teleportation privilege of the Molten Rock Radiant Dragon Stone sculpture if she encountered danger, entering the Boundary Land for refuge.
Of course, it’s for use only in the real world and not in the Spirit Realm.
For Blood Spider, it was a Winged Dragon Egg.
This Winged Dragon Egg was the offspring of the Winged Dragon slave serving Bai Pu in Giant Fern Mountain Range. Once hatched, it would at least be an Elite Level Winged Dragon.
The Boundary Land and reality are interconnected; Blood Spider can bring this Winged Dragon Egg back to reality to hatch and use as her mount.
Unfortunately, Blood Spider can’t take the Winged Dragon into the Spirit Realm for exploration since she isn’t from a Summoning Class.
On New Year’s Eve, Li Ling personally cooked a New Year’s Eve dinner and set off many fireworks and firecrackers.
For the first time, the primeval forest above Giant Fern Mountain Range echoed with the noise of fireworks and firecrackers.
Li Ling’s culinary skills were quite impressive. While the rare ingredient Treasure Flesh contributed, her ability to cook spiritual ingredients was already commendable.
According to Li Ling, her family was poor when she was young, and her parents were busy working, so she cooked all the meals at home. After getting into military school, she further studied the specialty of Spiritual Cuisine.
Initially, Qin and Blood Spider were closer, and both were not familiar with Li Ling, keeping some distance.
But after Qin learned about Li Ling’s significance to Bai Pu, she quickly changed her attitude and showed interest in getting close to Li Ling.
This New Year’s Eve dinner provided Qin with a perfect opportunity to praise Li Ling. The praise was genuine since the modern Huaxia Spiritual Cuisine, compared to the Northern European court dishes Qin was used to, was more exquisite and delicious.
After dinner, Li Ling reported her recent work to Bai Pu.
"Gangxin, after I took the position of your Practical Officer, I immediately took over the Boundary Land data for the Jiangnan Region. I discovered several trading-type Boundary Lands with management issues."
Li Ling frowned, "Even the official trading venues lack strict identity verification. As for the private large-scale trading bases, needless to say, as long as Awakened pay money, they can enter anonymously, and the border crossing information provided to the authority is quite disorderly..."
"There shouldn’t be many private large-scale trading bases in the Jiangnan Region," Bai Pu smiled.
"Yes, mainly the Superstar Alliance, with two Low-level Boundary Lands, three Mid-level Boundary Lands, and one Advanced Boundary Land. Others include Jiangnan Xu Family, Qiao Family, Zhu Family, and so on."
"Since the Superstar Alliance’s Boundary Lands were exposed for harboring Wanted Criminals last time, they’ve been under government supervision. How long is left of the supervision period agreed upon back then?" Bai Pu asked.
"The initial supervision period agreed upon was one year, and there are five to six months left now," Li Ling replied.
Bai Pu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "Then let’s scrutinize the Superstar Alliance’s Boundary Land data first. Request that the Superstar Alliance’s Boundary Lands undergo strict audits, requiring real-name registration of Awakened coming in and out."
"Understood," Li Ling replied.
In fact, for Boundary Lands with a "trading center" nature, everyone agrees with anonymity as a tacit rule.
After all, water that is too clear yields no fish.
Some Awakened aren’t criminals themselves but adhere to the principle of hiding wealth. When they want to trade a possessed treasure, they do so anonymously disguised, even using small tools to interfere with detection.
In such cases, they prefer private trading bases.
Bai Pu and Li Ling were well aware of this, but Bai Pu’s aim was to stir things up with the Superstar Alliance, so setting the first fire on them seemed reasonable.
Since the Superstar Alliance’s Boundary Lands were under official supervision, doing this was convenient.
This also helps combat Awakened crime, leaving Wanted Criminals with no place to hide, benefiting the security environment in the Jiangnan Region.
