I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 81

Chapter 81

“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, they’ve all arrived.”

Fang Bai calmly observed the seven groups of people approaching.

The seven factions were divided into seven groups. The leaders hadn’t come; the ones who came were all deputies.

The person leading the faction on the far left was still scolding someone beside him.

Fang Bai took one look and saw it was none other than the unlucky guy who had run off earlier. Judging by the momentum, he had probably been scolding him the entire way.

“These are the people from Qing Stone Mountain Company. Their boss is called Chen Qingshi, a Warrior job-changer. I heard he’s level 13. He practiced martial arts before the apocalypse, and his overall strength is considered the strongest among all current job-changers. He didn’t change jobs in our Novice Village, probably obtained a Job Change Item himself.

Because of this, the people from Qing Stone Mountain Company are somewhat tyrannical. They’re slightly better here, but they have a terrible reputation among other factions and survivors. They’ve basically reached the point of doing all kinds of evil.

That’s why no one reminded him just now, tacitly setting him up.”

Bai Qing followed Fang Bai’s gaze and then spoke.

“From left to right, they are Dingsheng Company, Wanchang Company, Xingsheng Company, and Heyuan Company. The first three were companies that existed before the apocalypse and still maintain their original company structure, reorganizing to form their current factions.

Actually, the fourth, Heyuan Company, also existed before the apocalypse, but their boss was really bad at dealing with people and offended too many people. After the internet and power went out, his subordinates joined forces and got rid of him. The person in charge now is a former supervisor named Sheng Wenyu, who is quite popular.

The sixth one was completely organized after the apocalypse and is called the Survival Society. Their leader is Teng Huadong, a Shield Warrior job-changer. He’s very strong in charging and fighting, and has great personal charisma.

As for the last one, that should be the Mutual Aid Society, the only one entirely composed of women.

Their purpose is for women to help each other in the apocalypse. Their leader is called Chen Yujiao. Although she keeps talking about women helping each other, I feel this is just a window for her to realize her ambitions.

She has rallied a large number of female survivors who have lost their loved ones or whose loved ones are not in Shen Shan Town through this slogan.

These seven major factions have at least two to three hundred people each. The Survival Society has the largest number, reaching six hundred. However, their members are mixed, and their combat effectiveness may not be as strong as the other companies. Currently, the strongest of the seven major factions is Qing Stone Mountain Company, with the number of job-changers reaching eleven.

These seven major factions are the main ones in Shen Shan Town. There are still quite a few other factions with over a hundred or dozens of people, but they are either unstable, have unclear structures, or haven’t fully formed. They also lack the ability to hunt First-Order Magical Beasts, so they can basically be ignored.

Including our Novice Village, we are collectively referred to as the eight major factions in Shen Shan Town.”

Bai Qing explained one by one, clearly having done a lot of work on intelligence gathering. He might even have intelligence sources within some of the factions.

Fang Bai listened to the names of the eight major factions, his mind racing with thoughts as he observed the people from the seven factions.

Six of the seven factions had brought bags of things. Fang Bai’s Mental Power swept over them and saw that they were all materials from Magical Beasts, such as shells, bones, etc., including both Elemental Materials and ordinary materials.

Only one faction brought a bag of copper coins.

Poor guy.

Seeing this, Fang Bai suddenly lost interest and said to Bai Qing beside him,

“Bai Qing, you take care of the reception. Sell the scrolls at this price, no negotiation. Encourage them to bring in more live First-Order Magical Beasts.

You can handle the rest. Let those with Mental Power over ten identify the Elemental Materials. It’s easy to distinguish them.

Also, come to my place after this is over.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Fang Bai nodded and immediately turned to leave. He knew that once the people from the seven major factions arrived, it would inevitably involve social niceties and insincere pleasantries. This kind of thing was fine before the apocalypse, but Fang Bai didn’t want to do it after the apocalypse.

If it was still the same as before the apocalypse, wouldn’t that mean the apocalypse was for nothing?

Of course, Fang Bai wouldn’t let it turn into a social disaster. He could leave these matters to Bai Qing. He could handle it and had sufficient status to do so.

Anyway, after the pleasantries, if there were conflicts, they would still fight if they had to. It wouldn’t make a difference.

And Fang Bai himself?

He might as well go back and study spell models. That was much more interesting.

Besides, someone had already reached level 13. He couldn’t let his own strength fall behind. After all, it was the apocalypse, and everything depended on strength.

Behind him, Bai Qing greeted the seven people. Fang Bai heard someone ask why he had left, and Bai Qing said he had an urgent matter to deal with. Fang Bai didn’t listen further and went straight back to his container.

After entering the container, Fang Bai ended his meditation.

Now that he couldn’t add points to his Mental Power and had lost this method of strengthening it, Fang Bai paid more attention to meditation. He would project himself out when he had things to do and meditate with his main body, not wasting a single moment.

Fang Bai had to put in all his effort if he wanted his cultivation speed to catch up with others’ upgrade and point allocation speed.

“What’s going on?”

Fang Bai muttered.

“Everyone else can add points, but I can’t?”

“What kind of system are you? I wish you an early collapse. May all these cheating, point-added powers crumble, and everyone become ordinary people again.”

Fang Bai laughed as he spoke. This kind of thought was completely detrimental to others and not beneficial to himself. If all job-changers collapsed, wouldn’t humanity be finished?

Besides, how could such a large, powerful system that covered the entire world collapse so easily?

“But then again, I still have ways to cheat. I can also find a way to balance my Archer job.

With my powerful Mental Power as a Mage, I can basically charge Charge Attack indefinitely until my Mental Power reaches its limit, which is unknown. The upper limit of this power basically depends on the upper limit of my Mage job. Plus, skill releases all consume Mental Power. Others have limited mana bars, but mine is unlimited. The potential of my Archer job is also very high.”

Fang Bai didn’t feel that his Mental Power was cheating at all. After all,

Fang Bai’s Mental Power was painstakingly cultivated by himself!

“I also need to go out and farm some Experience Points every once in a while. I don’t have to be higher than others, but at least I have to keep my level up with the majority. Going out is also a good opportunity to test my Mage combat power and experiment with some spells.

Hmm, after studying the acquired First-Order Magical Beasts, I can also kill them all. As long as there are enough First-Order Magical Beasts acquired, my leveling speed may not be slower than others.”

At this moment, Fang Bai was slightly taken aback.

“Eh, from this perspective, do I seem to have become the evil pay-to-win player? No way…”

“Thinking about it, it’s quite comfortable.”
