Kai soon took out some of the accumulated materials from space and gave it to the twins so they can provide these things to the school and those outside running the six bases where the six mines are located.
They have been sending the materials back and also making weekly reports to the twins. There are small problems here and there but all is going good considering their identity as soldiers who would take orders instead of giving them like how they are living these days.
In the southern base where Lu Mo is the leader, there is a peculiar mine discovered near the territory of the base. This mine has colorful large stones and contains an astonishing amount of power but no one knows what they do. The search party stumbled on this mine and the robots have this type of mineral in their database. As a result the mine has been put under the protection of the base awaiting orders from Kai.
The stone is called a magic stone that can be used for magic artifacts and they can also work well on their own with a simple activation spell.
The stone is something truly precious. It can be used to grant items special power. The important thing is that this power will last longer than rune magic which will accelerate the aging of an item because it uses the item itself as a conduit.
The stone on the other hand is full of the required magic making. any weapon imbued with it very powerful and most importantly long lasting.
The different colors are clearly explained in the ore manual that Kai was given by his invisible helper back when he first came across a magic artifact.
Phil was able to compile these minerals manuals and installed the knowledge into the robots database so they can help Kai search for the resources outside.
The stone doesn't need items to work, they can be activated with a spell and deadnated by even a powerless normal person as long as they have the words.
They can also be activated using mental power and Intent. But first they need to be processed. They are completely useless before they are processed.
They can be processed with a machine which will allow them to work but they will be limited to a single use of their assigned element then it would crumble into dust afterwards.
The stones that are processed with a magical device are one time use items but if they are processed by a person usinf crafting tools and spirit power they can be used for a long time.
This way of processing the magic stones is time consuming but the potential of each stone is unleashed completely allowing it to work for a long time. Each stone is first cut with the stone shaper and then carved with magic formulas while spirit poweris also used to awaken each stone.
They can also be shaped and then put on an item without carving them with magic formulas. However to bring out their power the item wielder will have to put their specific power into the stone to activate its power.
For instance, a magic stone placed on a sword with ice runes will require the wielder to send out their supernatural power into the stone which will then allow the weapon to discharge ice magic.
Kai wants this magic stone very much and he has decided to send out a few scanning robots to search and record the location on the system map so that Kai can harvest everything when he finds time. That mine can't be the only one in the world.
He handed over the materials and the new smart bracelets. Kai allowed the twins to officially sell the smart bracelets to the public separating them into 0 1 2 and three. From the initial bracelet with basic communication features to the latest version that can teleported and store 500 kg of weight in inventory.
His own people are wearing the latest version which he made only for himself and his men, it is able to store and teleport a few thousand kg worth of items. Kai agreed to the idea of selling the items to the bases where the team is planning to recruit orphans for the school.
When he heard what the Wang family did he was no longer saddened by their outrageous behavior but only felt they are funny for being so small but they are still hoping to struggle against the raging tide.
Kai found that the people who owed him for the glass houses have all paid the money in full. He is currently worth a few millions of basic level one crystal nucleus up to level 6.
The news of Kai selling the smart bracelets at a sky high price annoyed many people but many bought the bracelet nonetheless. Kai spent some time after erecting a massive barrier around the flat and a large piece of empty land nearby.
Kai will use this space to build the school facilities such as a library, classrooms and the training facilities. Kai will make the training facilities that are similar to the simulation world but the students will be fighting in the real world.
They will battle robosts and train in weights, gravity chamber and so forth. He has drawn down the complete designs and will show it to the twins and Paige soon.
It is necessary to build these facilities because the area has many residents which are complete with built in furniture, floor tiles and balconies facing the mountains. It is essentially a residential area and for it to be as chool, more work is required.
There are raws of underground storage facilities that can keep items frozen for years if they are provided with sufficient energy. All that is remaining is the playground and the school facilities.
Kai only opened two gates after the barrier was put in place. "I can see that the master had thought about this very thoroughly to have such a detailed design plan." Paige commented on the side.
"You don't have to worry about the construction, i have a team of robots with specific skills. This design is already in their database all they require are working tools and supplies which I will store in some of the underground storages since they are very large and can be accessed from this position." Kai pointed at the position.
Paige accepted the job and Kai's soul imprint. Now she has a portion of resources that are tailored to make her stronger and awaken her power with us the power of darkness. This power is incredibly rare and oddly powerful.
"Yes, all I have to do is to supervise the progress and grow in strength." Paige said in excitement.
"What did your sister say to my invitation?" Kai asked Paige.
"She is completely brainwashed by that man. He is very powerful and has at least three other women that he lives with but my sister keeps saying she loves him and can't help it. I am afraid she will use the information of our territory to gain an upper hand in her relationship." She sayd sadly.
"The man is Lui Jaing who was previously engaged to Linda the redhead beautiful woman from the Frost family. Linda has powerful fire supernatural abilities and broke up with him when he started messing around." Kai knows these people he wonders why the guy changed his first name.
"If she is so in love then perhaps you should let her learn from her mistakes. Try and focus on improving your strength." Kai changed the subject.
"Thank you master. I will so my best." She promised.
Kai went to prepare for a trip outside. He will go and gain experience in the real world of the apocalypse to improve his sword. He has been increasing his strength but his sword is stuck at level three of the crowd control.
The first stage is passed when the sword can conduct electricity even at a distance.
This is the task he achieved by spending time with his sword, cleaning it and even sleeping with it just to envelope it completely with his breathe. The manual said the sword is one with him and shoud be able to harnest his power regardless of the distance because the two of them are connected.
The second stage allowed him to duplicate his sword by summoning different versions of it and be able to control all these clones to a master level.
The third stage is when the clones are also connected to him to the point that he can summon them in the blink of an eye and their speed of attack is as swift as the real sword although they can only be half as powerful as the real sword in this stage.
The forth stage is when the clones are at the same level as the main sword in terms of damage and speed. This part has been difficult for him to realize even when he started to fight in the simulation world. That is the virtual game he created for the sole purpose of training. Now it will be the main training grounds for the students.
He knows that it means the third stage is not yet complete but he is now able to fight tens of enemies using his swords. Shighing, he decided to say his good byes to the twins and Paige.
He found the sitting area with visitors. This shocked him because this villa is a very exclusive place but seeing the base leader he understood that It is because of his status that he forced his way into his home.
"Hello." He waved at the two people and turned to Ye Ling frowning. Seeing his expression, Ling Ling is internally helpless because she didn't have enough authority to chase them a way.
"Master, this is the base leader as you already know and his younger sister Lu Ping the third princess of the Yan family." Ye Ling smiled a professional smile and introduced but Kai continues to frown.
"Ow my, are you angry at Ping Ping for coming uninvited?" She overed her lower face leaving only the pair of Pheonix eyes that kept blinking at him.
"Ye Ling, next tine someone forces their way here, shoot them on the spot." He instructed. She looked at him with a happy gaze and nodded. Her master is teully the est, it is like he knows her grievances.
"I will do it master."
"I have a long trip to make so be careful during my absence. If someone bothers you just cripple them, and if they endanger your life and that of those living in the territory, just kill them directly. No mater who they are, do you understand?" He gave her a stern look.
"Yes, I will do as master instruct." Her heart started raicing in her chest. Kai looked to the two other people in the room with a scrawl.
"Why are you here?" He asked them. Yan smiled and tried to hide his irritation at Kai's attitude.
"We came to see you and talk about your upcoming project by the way." He said standing up since Kai did not sit down. Most importantly he wants to know about the seemingly impenetrable barrier that Kai has put up around his upcoming school.
Kai felt annoyed that politics are following him around even when he is clearly running from them. He sat on one of the couches and faced the man. "You have seen me, now you can talk."
The tone is lazy making people feel an incredible ich in their hearts. "We want to be able to send some of our family members to learn from your school. But we heard it will be an orphanage which caters for the unfortunate children." He said with a business like tone.
Kai just chuckled as if he heard something ridiculous. "Let me back track, you forced me to take in these orphans and now you want to push your luck even further by having me take in your spoiled young masters and misses?" Kai looked amused.
"We will pay for it of course." The woman said from the side. A school is a good idea to prevent the young people from doing all sort of bad things during this chaotic period. Most importantly they can have someone inside to report on anything suspicious.
Yan is thinking that Kai is so young but he has reached such high level in strength so the kids in this school will benefit from his contributions. This is why he wants to send someone to check out what happens in the school.
"You can't afford my services even if it is my subordinates who are providing them. If you could, I wouldn't be forced to feed so many of your people." Kai sneered at the woman.
She is tall with a long white neck, a heart shaped face, a button like cute nose and a pair of sharp eyes making her look like a villainous woman. Her figure is all woman with large breasts and round buttocks coupled with long white legs. The clothes she has on accentuate her perfect figure. She is very sexy as opposed to the suppressed womanly charm that exudes from Ye Ling.
Seeing them un able to say anything more, he stood up leaving the people behind.
"And Ling Ling, whatever you do, don't touch that woman." He said as the door closed behind him.
"That was rude." The woman cursed in a low voice. Kai seems like someone who doesn't care what people say about him. This sort of person is a dangerous opponent.
"Brother, are you really going to let him walk out like that?" She asked her brother who is usually reliable but today he didn't say anything as Kai ignored his presence.
"Lets return home now that Kai had left." He stood up and said his good byes. Kai is closer to reaching late stage of foundation cultivation realm. It only took him this small amount of time. He obviously has someone backing him and Yan doesn't want to make an enemy out him.
