I Have A City In An Alternate World

Chapter 4383: Magical foundation stone (1)

The rune crystal in front of him was called a cornerstone, and it had a rather magical ability.

Using it as a Foundation, a building could be built out of thin air, and it could be continuously strengthened and upgraded.

By paying the corresponding price, one could also trade with the cornerstone platform for all sorts of resources.

The more wealth one could provide, the higher the grade of the goods they could exchange for. Some of the goods could even destroy the world.

Tang Zhen was incomparably shocked as he sorted out the information in his mind. He even suspected that he was hallucinating.

Did such a heaven-defying ability really exist in this world?

However, everything in front of him was so real that there was no room for doubt.

“Whether it’s true or not, I just need to try!”

Tang Zhen made up his mind and hurriedly crawled out of the secret room and went to the place where he had hidden his money.

He opened one of the boxes and found more than twenty silver ingots inside. Each silver ingot weighed ten taels.

He hurriedly returned with the silver. Tang Zhen activated the foundation stone platform, and the surrounding scene instantly changed.

It was as if they had arrived at a mysterious shopping mall in the blink of an eye.

There were all sorts of items placed around him that he could pick up to check at any time. The corresponding information would also be displayed.

Not only was it 100% restored, but it also had a texture and touch. It was no different from holding the real thing.

Tang Zhen revealed a joyous expression as he looked at the scene in front of him. He did not expect that this foundation stone platform would be so powerful.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tang Zhen checked the items that could be exchanged.

In the cornerstone platform’s Mall, he could buy all kinds of supplies. Not only were there daily necessities, but there were also all kinds of weapons and equipment.

There were swords and sabers made of steel, strong bows and crossbows, and guns that could shoot bullets.

There were even cannons, which were black and thick and looked very powerful.

There were all sorts of armors, all of which were mighty and heavy.

Tang Zhen’s brows slightly furrowed when he saw these armors and weapons. He knew that these were all items that were prohibited by the government.

If he was discovered, he would definitely be in trouble.

Although these pieces of equipment were excellent, they could not be easily revealed, or they could very likely invite a fatal disaster.

However, Tang Zhen had also heard that a war had broken out outside. It was likely that the flames of war would spread over very soon.

Once a war broke out, bandits would run rampant, and laws and regulations would lose their binding effect.

In order to save his life, it was indeed necessary to make some early preparations.

Tang Zhen was not in a hurry to buy it. Instead, he was prepared to take a look first. He would not be in a hurry to make a decision before he fully understood it.

Soon, Jade tablets appeared in front of him, showing all kinds of words.

These were skill Jade cards. As long as they were purchased and activated, they would be able to obtain the corresponding ability.

Compared to the equipment and resources, Tang Zhen was more interested in the skill Jade card.

To master an ability required a long time and energy, and it would also affect the proficiency level due to talent and other reasons.

There was no end to learning, and one had to be diligent in their work. This was a common truth.

However, this kind of skill Jade card completely broke the rules. One only needed to pay a certain amount of wealth to obtain the perfect skill.

Filled with excitement and curiosity, Tang Zhen seriously rummaged through it and discovered that the number of skill Jade plates was as vast as the sea.

There were too many skills that he had never heard of, and he did not even have the authority to check them.

One had to level up to a certain level or meet certain conditions to have the right to view and purchase the items.

He was clearly telling Tang Zhen that everything had to be done step by step and that he must not be too hasty.

Tang Zhen was indeed not in a hurry. He even had a calmness that far exceeded his age, like an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Before today, he was not like this, but after he woke up, he had undergone a complete transformation.

Tang Zhen was actually very curious about the abnormality of his body. However, he could not figure out the real reason.

After rummaging through the skill Jade plates, Tang Zhen chose the goods he wanted.

The other was a protective cultivation technique called the stellar energy Iron Skin technique, which could increase one’s defense.

It could not be injured by blades or pierced by arrows, and its life-saving ability was first-class.

It was a set of close-range fighting fist techniques called the bone breaking fist. The fist force was extremely fierce, and when it hit the body, it would break the bones and tendons.

These two sets of martial arts techniques required two hundred taels of silver. To ordinary villagers, it was definitely a sky-high price, and they might even curse him for being a wastrel.

Their annual expenses were only ten silver taels.

Those who had such thoughts didn’t understand the value of cultivation techniques. Otherwise, they would definitely buy a set even if they had to sell everything they had.

However, other than Tang Zhen, it was impossible for an outsider to have such an opportunity.

Tang Zhen made this choice in order to protect himself. This was because some bandits had their eyes on his family’s property.

Not long ago, the mountain bandits had sent people to extort money, but they had not gotten what they wanted.

Before he left, he said that he would form a team to go down the mountain and wash the entire village with blood.

Because of this incident, the entire village was in danger, looking gloomy and gloomy.

He reported it to the authorities, but there was no response. It was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Now that the opportunity had arrived, the mountain bandits that were originally terrifying didn’t seem so scary anymore.

Tang Zhen mused to himself and quickly came up with a method to deal with it.

However, before that, he still had to test if the skill Jade card was really effective.

He decisively chose to pay, and two Jade tokens appeared in front of him, containing a trace of dazzling treasure light.

“Activate!”

The two skill Jade plates shattered and turned into a stream of light that flew into his body. Tang Zhen’s body immediately underwent a transformation.

His bones, blood, and flesh expanded, and his body grew taller, becoming more vigorous and steady.

The change was not only in his appearance. Tang Zhen’s aura became longer, and his entire body seemed to contain boundless strength.

He swung his fist fiercely, and it actually brought with it the sound of breaking the air.

“Alright!”

Tang Zhen could not help but laugh out loud when he sensed the change in his body.

The skill Jade plate was extraordinary as expected. In the blink of an eye, it allowed Tang Zhen to grasp two perfect level martial skills.

He was clearly more confident in dealing with the mountain bandits.

The excitement gradually disappeared. Tang Zhen began to study the main functions of the cornerstone platform and thought about how to build a city Tower.

Only by successfully building the city would they have the ability to protect themselves and not be afraid of external threats.

If he wanted to successfully build a city, he would need a piece of land, a group of subordinates, and a thousand taels of silver.

Tang Zhen had land and silver, but he still lacked a group of subordinates.

The villagers who had been frightened by the bandits and were filled with worry were obviously the best choice.

As long as Tang Zhen stood out and explained the stakes to the villagers, they would definitely listen to the command obediently.

Once the villagers joined, all the requirements would be met, and the city building would be successfully built.

In order to avoid any more trouble, Tang Zhen decided to take action immediately.

Tang Zhen left the secret room and chose to close the door automatically. He jumped out of the gap in the secret passage without any effort.

When they arrived at the front courtyard, uncle Fu and the others had just returned. When they saw Tang Zhen standing in front of them, uncle Fu and the others were immediately stunned.

In just a short period of time, Tang Zhen’s height had grown by a section, and the aura on his body had also changed.

It was originally a calf, but now it felt like a fierce tiger, exuding a might that made people’s hearts tremble.

“Young master, are you alright?”

The elderly head had just passed away, and the young master’s change had indeed scared the elderly uncle Fu.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Tang Zhen revealed a smile on his face and used a comforting tone to speak. His words seemed to have a magical power that caused everyone to calm down.

“The bandits are about to arrive, we can’t just sit and wait for them to come. We have to find a way to defend ourselves.

If you trust me, go and gather the villagers and discuss how to deal with the mountain bandits.

If you don’t want to, then you can only pray for yourself. If you get killed by the bandits, you can only blame your bad luck.”

The villagers were stunned. They looked at each other and quickly turned around and ran back into the village.

“Young master, are you trying to …”

Uncle Fu asked in a soft voice when he saw this scene. He didn’t understand what Tang Zhen was trying to do.

“Don’t worry, you’ll know later.”

Tang Zhen laughed softly. He raised his head and looked at the sky. His eyes were like an abyss.
