I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 100

Chapter 100

“Yes, that’s more like it.”

Fang Bai looked at the five-layered scroll paper Wang Kai had made and nodded with satisfaction. It wasn’t much worse than what he could make himself.

“Did you have a background in handicrafts before? I see your hands are very steady and dexterous.”

Hearing Fang Bai’s question, Wang Kai didn’t stop his work. He continued making scroll paper while answering,

“I used to be a freelancer, I made videos, a UP Master, you could say. My focus was on handicrafts, and my masterpiece was that set of Tianwang Armor, so I do have some foundation.”

“You made the Tianwang Armor yourself?!”

Fang Bai looked at Bai Qing in surprise.

“Yes, handmade. Of course, I made good use of some mechanical tools, but it was still considered purely handmade. I used to film the creation of each part and upload it online, accumulating traffic bit by bit. It wasn’t until all the parts were assembled into the Tianwang Armor that I became famous, that I became popular.”

Wang Kai paused slightly and continued,

“Then the apocalypse came… I do have a foundation in handicrafts, and the five-layered scroll paper you taught me, Village Chief, is indeed not difficult.”

It didn’t take long for Wang Kai’s movements to become proficient, quickly producing sheets of finished scroll paper and handing them to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai took the scroll paper and immediately began to inscribe spell models, drawing them into spell scrolls.

Of course, in Wang Kai’s eyes, Fang Bai was just staring blankly at the scroll paper. As he stared, a complex, ornate, and mysterious hexagram pattern would appear on the spell scroll.

Then Wang Kai knew that a spell scroll was complete.

Naturally, compared to successes, Fang Bai failed a bit more often, wasting quite a few sheets of scroll paper.

With Wang Kai’s help in making scroll paper, Fang Bai made spell scrolls at a faster pace than before.

Fang Bai knew very well that he had given the Fireball spell scroll such a big advertisement at the Survival Society this time, so the sales of Fireball scrolls were bound to skyrocket in the coming period. He had to prepare more spell scrolls to sell.

After all, for every spell scroll Fang Bai sold, he could make eight, nine, or even ten more. With such huge profits, Fang Bai was happy to sell as many as he could.

Anyway, as long as it was within the range of Fang Bai’s Mental Power, whether these scrolls could be used depended entirely on his mood. So, selling spell scrolls externally wouldn’t pose any threat to Fang Bai’s own safety!

Therefore, Fang Bai wasn’t worried at all that he would be blown up by the spell scrolls he made.

In addition, since he had made such a big splash this time, Fang Bai was very concerned about his safety. After all, he had less than fifty scrolls left, and such a small number made him feel insecure.

What if he was besieged by other forces again? Fifty spell scrolls might not be enough to completely bombard the opponent’s base.

Scroll after scroll was formed under Fang Bai’s hands, and time passed little by little. When Wang Kai yawned, Fang Bai suddenly reacted.

“Oh, I forgot, you still need to sleep, right?”

Wang Kai looked at Fang Bai in surprise.

“What do you mean I still need to sleep, Village Chief? Don’t you sleep?”

“Huh? Sleep? I don’t.”

Fang Bai shook his head.

“There are twenty-four hours in a day. Sleeping for six hours is already a waste of a quarter of the day. How wasteful is that?

If I don’t sleep for three days, I’ll have an extra day of usable time compared to others. Isn’t that good?

Others think I stay in the village all day eating, drinking, and having fun, thinking my strength has stagnated.

But in reality?

In reality, I cultivate for twenty-four hours a day and research spells for over eighteen hours. My effective time in a day is more than forty-two hours.

They can’t see it now, but they’ll be in for a surprise when we fight someday, heh.

They’re farming monsters for eighteen hours a day? I want to see whose strength improves faster.”

“Wait, wait, Village Chief, you’ve miscalculated the time, haven’t you? There are only twenty-four hours in a day. How did you calculate forty-two hours?”

Fang Bai glanced at Wang Kai. A projection formed, and then the projection started making spell scrolls. His main body entered a meditative state and said calmly,

“Look, it’s like this, dividing my mind into two. The main body cultivates, and the projection researches or does other things.”

Wang Kai’s jaw dropped. Fang Bai’s actions completely overturned his understanding.

Twenty-four hours a day, Fang Bai had actually turned it into forty-two hours. Fang Bai pretended not to level up, not to become stronger, but secretly he was turning twenty-four hours into forty-two!

A super grind king!

He’s like a liver with a person growing on it!

At this moment, Wang Kai was completely awake, without a trace of sleepiness. Any hint of sleepiness that arose was immediately suppressed.

What is the scariest thing in the world?

Someone being stronger than you?

No, that’s not scary. If someone is stronger, you just keep working hard.

The scariest thing is that someone is not only stronger than you, more talented than you, but also works harder and more desperately than you!

That’s the cruelest thing.

Fang Bai glanced at the struggling Wang Kai, smiled, and shook his head.

“No need to force it. My not sleeping is a skill, because I have a better way to restore my energy instead of sleeping, not just blindly forcing it. Otherwise, I would have died from exhaustion long ago.

Go to sleep, cherish your precious sleeping time, you’ll miss it later.”

After Fang Bai finished speaking, he picked up the scroll paper Wang Kai had finished making and walked out. He found a chair in a corner outside and sat down, meticulously inscribing Fireball spell scrolls or Water Shield spell scrolls.

Inside the container, Wang Kai finally lay down on the bed. Lying there, staring at the ceiling, he recalled what Fang Bai had just said. He suddenly remembered the comments outside saying that Fang Bai had become complacent and lost his drive.

Wang Kai wasn’t angry, he just felt amused and expectant.

Fang Bai at this moment was like a good student in class who played games all day, wandered around, read idle books, and just didn’t study. But as soon as he got home, as soon as he left the sight of his classmates, he instantly entered a state of hard study.

Wang Kai, who had discovered this, was only looking forward to the arrival of an exam…

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Wang Kai’s mouth. He fell into a deep sleep amidst his reverie. Outside, in the corner, Fang Bai continued to steadily and skillfully inscribe spell scrolls, his technique becoming more and more proficient.

The entire Yi Hao Village fell into a deep sleep, only Fang Bai was working silently.

After turning all the scroll paper into spell scrolls, Fang Bai put away the large stack of spell scrolls and still didn’t rest. His main body continued to meditate, while his projection began to modify the Fireball spell model, using brute force to deduce the function of each spell node and each elemental channel in the spell model.

In this process, Fang Bai’s understanding of the spell model gradually increased. And with his understanding of the principles of the spell model, the spell structure, and the spell nodes, the speed of his brute-force deduction became faster and more proficient. He could often calculate in advance the spell models that would explode and control them to dissipate before they exploded.

Fang Bai didn’t pay attention to these changes, just silently kept trying.

Time passed, and the originally dark sky gradually brightened. It was a new day.

In the early morning, Wang Kai woke up from his sleep, looked at the ceiling, and realized that he was no longer the leader of the Field Operations Team, but a small errand boy for Fang Bai.

Realizing this, Wang Kai quickly got dressed and got out of bed, pushing the door open and walking out. But as soon as he opened the door, Wang Kai was stunned.

In the central area of the open space, Fang Bai was still adjusting and constructing the spell model, researching bit by bit.

At this time, Wang Kai once again deeply understood the meaning of the forty-two hours that Fang Bai had mentioned before.

Forty-two hours without any water.

“Morning, Village Chief.”

“Morning.”

After washing up, Wang Kai brought two breakfasts. Fang Bai ended an experiment and walked over.

While eating breakfast, Fang Bai said to Wang Kai,

“You mainly have three things to do these days, remember them. First, level up, raise your Mental Power attribute to ten as soon as possible.

Second, every day before Knight training, use combat-oriented training methods to push your body to the limit!

Third, crush the elemental materials delivered every day and make them into scroll paper. Got it?”

“Understood.”

Wang Kai said.

“Okay, then go after you finish eating.”

“Yes.”

After breakfast, Wang Kai left the area where Fang Bai was. At the same time, Bai Qing had already arranged for people to come over and use sheet metal to build a wall to enclose this area, blocking it from outside view.

Fang Bai also took this opportunity to tell Bai Qing that exercise could enhance the effect of Knight training.

During the construction of the wall, Fang Bai didn’t continue his experiment but instead organized the experimental data from the night.

Looking at the dense coordinate data and text analysis, Fang Bai started from the beginning, sorting them out bit by bit. At this moment, the knowledge in Fang Bai’s mind gradually connected…
