Although he said that, Xu Yuan was actually quite confused.
Logically speaking, if elemental affinity is high, elemental perception ability shouldn't be this bad, even if it is.
This can't even be described as bad anymore.
It's practically like an insulator.
Could it be some kind of curse or something?
The kind that comes from bloodline?
After all, this is a secluded island.
If it were truly a curse, it's unlikely that someone would have specifically placed it on Cassandra.
It's more likely to be passed down through bloodlines.
Or is it that Cassandra's elemental affinity isn't actually that high, but rather that Ineli's is too low?
No, that's not right.
The elements here are so sparse, or so stable, that they are usually undetectable.
Cassandra, however, was able to unconsciously manipulate the earth element without being able to perceive it.
It could even be said that it is element-driven.
No matter how you look at it, this should be considered high.
After all, if it were any higher, the elements would rush towards it in a frenzy.
It's unlikely that even among the elves, not everyone possesses such exaggerated elemental affinity.
Cassandra's case should be considered high.
"Let's go back."
Xu Yuan said to Cassandra, "I have some insights into cultivating Ripple here, I'll share them in a bit—"
He had intended to say "I'll teach you later," but after a slight pause, he changed his words to "Let Theresa and Irene teach you."
Time continued to pass as usual.
Xu Yuan's life is quite fulfilling.
He usually teaches classes to the children.
Although the crows' holiday is over, teacher resources are still in short supply in the short term.
-
Those greatsword warriors who had mastered their skills and were barely qualified to be teachers, along with a few outstanding senior trainees, were all assigned to instruct the workers.
Of course, just like kindergartens, online classes will be the primary mode of instruction.
The teacher is responsible for answering questions.
Therefore, the kindergarten only has Galatea, Shelley, and two administrators.
In addition to Inili, Xu Yuan, and Xiao Ya.
Of these people, only Xu Yuan had truly received a complete education.
Little Crow's learning ability is just too abnormal.
In terms of knowledge reserves, Xu Yuan cannot compare to it.
Because there were limited manpower, and everyone else besides him and Xiaoya was essentially still a student, he would sometimes help out.
It's not much trouble anyway.
When showing online class videos to students, Xu Yuan would meditate and study energy.
Besides attending classes, he would also frequently spar with former No. 0.1 players to increase his practical experience.
Such opportunities are rare in the real world.
After all, a worthy opponent is rare.
In the real world, Xu Yuan only had a truly satisfying fight with Hayato Furinji.
It's difficult to find a suitable opponent at other times.
But there are quite a few here.
Eleven Abysses, one that transcends the Abyss, plus Ineli and Lafayette, who possess No.0.1 strength.
There are a total of fourteen opponents to spar with.
Theresa is out of the question; she's too strong, so there's not much point in sparring with her.
During the sparring session, Xu Yuan discovered that the impact of losing demonic power varied greatly among the former No. 0.1s.
Some people are not greatly affected.
Fight the way you fought before, fight the way you fight now.
For example, 【Kuroi the Greatsword】.
She is a power-type warrior similar to Sofia.
Some people were more affected.
We need to find new ways to fight.
For example, [Lucila the All-Kind].
During her warrior days, she was skilled in manipulating objects with her demonic powers.
It's different from Xu Yuan's sword control technique.
Although Xu Yuan can transmit energy through his soul power and infuse it into the sword remotely, it is his soul power, not physical energy, that controls the sword.
Lucia, on the other hand, controls objects through her demonic power.
It's similar to the last warrior No.7 in the manga, [Winged Anastasia].
Anastasia's secret to levitation lies in injecting demonic power into her hair, manipulating the strands to form a foothold.
Lucilla's abilities surpass hers.
She can manipulate objects by infusing them with demonic power.
With the disappearance of her demonic power, she naturally could no longer use this move.
"Do you need more mining machinery and smelting equipment?"
"That's right, we have conducted a preliminary survey of the mineral resources on the island."
As Wen Anguo spoke, he pulled out a list.
Xu Yuan took it and looked at it.
The discovery revealed not only the distribution of mineral resources on the island, but also the various types of machinery needed and their estimated quantities.
These three really do know a little bit about everything.
They also understand previous urban planning.
As expected of those who were chosen.
Even if you can't compare to experts in a single aspect, there's no need to compare yourself to them.
Does a poor urban planning mean the sky is about to fall?
Given the limited number of available talents, this kind of all-rounder who knows everything is the most suitable.
There aren't many suitable places for planting on this island.
"Mountains, deserts, and ice fields alone account for more than half of the area."
"The remaining small portion is not all fertile soil either."
"In some places, instead of using the land to grow crops and produce that meager amount of grain, it would be better to use it for something else."
"Moreover, Mr. Xu also knows that modern agriculture is an integrated agricultural system that is scientific, mechanized, and intelligent."
"It doesn't require much labor to run."
"So, where should the remaining population go?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan nodded: "Running into an industrial society at breakneck speed?"
He suddenly realized that he had oversimplified things.
Originally, he envisioned focusing on ideological reform while relying primarily on material assistance.
However, the issue of population resettlement was overlooked.
When agricultural land is reduced for efficiency reasons, when modern agricultural technology replaces traditional agriculture —
How should the unemployed on this island be resettled?
They can't just do nothing all day and rely on the government to support them, or they can all be sent to the army, right?
At this point, the industrial behemoth is needed to absorb that massive population.
"You're right," Wen Anguo said. "With continuous aid, this place can absolutely leapfrog into an industrial society."
"Although it was a bit rushed, it wasn't quite thorough."
"But we can adjust as we develop."
"It's actually a bit foolish to develop slowly step by step when there is sufficient aid available."
"You have to jump when you should jump, and you have to run when you should run. Blindly following the book is not advisable."
"In addition, with sufficient equipment assistance, social productivity can reach a good level."
"From a certain perspective, the resource output efficiency here is actually far superior to that of our world."
"Because time flows at a rate of 24 times faster here!"
Xu Yuan nodded in agreement.
indeed.
An hour over there can take a whole day over here.
A month can pass over there, but two years can pass over here.
Assume that China's production efficiency is 1.
Here, even with the same equipment, due to a lack of talent, insufficient industrial foundation, or other reasons, the production efficiency can only reach 0.5.
But 0.5 multiplied by 24 equals 12.
Even multiplying 0.1 by 24 will result in 2.4.
Wen Anguo continued, "Cement, steel, and even bullets and firearms—"
"Many things can be made here."
"This can both reduce the burden on China and reduce its dependence on aid."
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
"For example, suppose a war breaks out here, what would Mr. Xu do on other continents?"
Even if we notify you, it will definitely take you some time to get here.
"If we cannot mine our own minerals, smelt our own steel, or manufacture our own guns, cannons, and bullets, we will become very passive."
"War is about logistics, and logistics cannot rely entirely on aid; we must produce independently."
"After reducing the population required for agricultural production, we will absorb that population through large-scale industrial production."
"This is also for the sake of maintaining social stability."
"In addition, simply lecturing is not very effective."
"If ideological reform is combined with social production, the results will be twice as good with half the effort."
"Okay, let's do it your way."
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Modern society doesn't lack food. How about reducing agriculture here as much as possible?"
Wen Anguo shook his head: "I don't think it's advisable."
Why?
"Mr. Xu must be quite young, right?"
"Of course, do you think I'm some old monster who's lived for hundreds of years but just looks young?"
"Haha, no, that's not it."
"What I want to say is that people who have gone hungry will feel at ease when they see a bountiful harvest in the fields."
"Although you can bring a lot of food from modern society, the sense of security that crops in the field can bring to people who were farming not long ago is irreplaceable."
"Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of agricultural land."
"Let people see the harvest, see the golden wheat ears that cover the farmland like waves in autumn."
"This can greatly stabilize public morale."
"You're right, let's do it your way. I don't know much about this either, you're the expert."
Upon hearing this, Wen Anguo smiled slightly.
That being said, he certainly couldn't make decisions unilaterally on such an important matter.
Because he was only sent here on assignment.
Helping this place develop is also for the benefit of our motherland.
While it may feel good to be autocratic, it can lead to unpleasantness due to a lack of clarity regarding the true nature of things.
This is detrimental to the interests of our motherland.
"This is the detailed plan."
As he spoke, he took out a business plan and a USB drive: "The USB drive contains the electronic version."
Xu Yuan took the plan and looked at it.
The content is very detailed.
It consists of several steps, and the order of steps is as follows.
The types of assistance needed for each step, and the approximate amount required, were all estimated.
If they were previously only at the stage of "basically needing all kinds of assistance," now, after conducting an in-depth and detailed investigation of the area, they have a general plan.
"Is the electronic version something they want me to bring to China?"
"That's right," Wen Anguo said. "With the plan, they can better allocate aid supplies."
Xu Yuan did some mental calculations and said, "Let's go in a few days, when it's evening there."
Although the place is very remote, it's best to go there at night to be on the safe side.
Wen Anguo nodded: "Then I'll take my leave."
"Take care, you've had a long journey," Xu Yuan said towards the door. "Inili, see Mr. Wen out."
A few days later, Xu Yuan returned to the real world.
After sending the electronic version of the plan to the higher-ups and arranging a time to pick up the supplies, I returned to the world of Claymore.
According to the system, nothing significant happened in the real world during that time.
Well, I suppose so.
Although he spent several months in the Claymore world, he only disappeared for a few days in the real world.
[Unidentified] He's not someone who shows up every day.
Apart from a few people, no one else even knew that he hadn't been in the real world these past few days.
In a quiet room.
Xu Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his right hand outstretched.
Fine beads of sweat were visible on his forehead, and he was completely focused.
My mind is in a state of unprecedented concentration.
As he continued to circulate the real-attribute energy within his body, a small white crystalline substance appeared in his palm. Then, the crystalline substance grew larger and larger, as if it were crystallizing from the air.
When it grows to about two or three centimeters long.
Xu Yuan stopped outputting energy, let out a long breath, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Then look at the white crystal in your palm.
[Energy Storage Crystal (Inferior)]
Type: Item/Consumable Quality: White Effect: Can store various extraordinary energies such as demonic power, magical power, and spiritual power. Due to its low quality, it can only store and release energy once.
Evaluation: It is an energy-containing substance, but not a counterfeit.
This isn't the kind of energy-storing crystal you get from opening loot boxes that you can crush to replenish energy.
It was the energy storage crystal on the defensive array plate.
They are not the same thing; they just have the same name.
"Another 'inferior' number 1!"
Xu Yuan looked at a piece of silver-white metal next to him.
【Tsukuyomi Ryugin (Inferior)】
Type: Item; Material Quality: White; Effect: Sturdy material with good energy conductivity.
Evaluation: It is an energy-containing substance, but not a counterfeit.
After using modern cutting-edge technology and equipment to gain a deeper understanding of the internal structure of the pad material.
Xu Yuan used real-attribute energy to restore it.
There were many failures along the way, but fortunately, we finally succeeded.
As can be seen from the evaluation, these things are genuine.
However, because he lacked the ability, all the versions he created were inferior.
The energy storage crystal can only be used once.
As for this Moonlit Silver Sword, it is not as sturdy as the Greatsword, and its energy conductivity is probably also reduced.
"Never mind, as long as it works, it's fine. It doesn't cost any money anyway."
These things were all transformed using real-attribute energy, and they didn't cost him a single penny.
It just took some time and effort.
Thinking about it this way, it becomes much easier to accept.
Picking up the [Moonlit Silver Flow (Inferior)], Xu Yuan began to inscribe array patterns and symbols on it.
It is not entirely consistent with the one on the defensive array plate.
He made some simplifications and modifications.
About an hour later, a small defensive array was freshly produced.
In Xu Yuan's view, this thing was actually a protective shield released through an external object.
He went out of the room to find Theresa and asked her to channel some energy into the crystal, but—the energy storage crystal exploded.
Unable to withstand Theresa's power, it exploded.
No wonder it's a substandard product.
Helpless, Xu Yuan meditated and recovered before creating another energy storage crystal.
This time he let Inelli try it.
The crystal didn't explode.
Then he created an array plate and input his own earth element energy.
Then I compared the power of the two array plates.
It was discovered that the protective shield was created using Ineli's demonic power, and its power was even greater.
After all, although earth-attribute energy has an advantage in defense, Xu Yuan is only at the early stage of the third rank.
Ineli probably has the strength to become powerful later on.
The Greatsword's physical strength isn't particularly impressive, and since it doesn't cultivate its soul, its power primarily comes from energy.
In the following time, Xu Yuan manufactured some defensive array plates and replacement energy storage crystals, which were then fully charged by Inili and distributed to key figures in the alliance, such as Wen Anguo and Miria.
And so, this matter has finally come to an end.
"Next, let's go check out the war-torn continent."
