It was a good thing to have such a reliable partner.
Zhao Jie dispelled Liao Zixuan’s last bit of concern and began to let loose and show off his skills.
He first told Zhao Jie not to be anxious. After everything was settled on his side, he would inform Zhao Jie. At that time, he would personally bring Zhao Jie to Sakuragi Island. In the meantime, Zhao Jie only needed to focus on mobilizing the Chamber of Commerce and the workers.
After that, Liao Zixuan immediately returned to Sakuragi Island. After returning to his wolf cub form, he entered the Celestial Cherry Space with Vivian.
As soon as she came in, Vivian was surprised. After all, the sapling of the Sakura Goddess a week ago was now taller than a little girl.
The little wolf cub looked at the progress of the quest. The recovery rate was 40.3%. It had increased by more than 1% during his business trip to the Lunar Abyss Island. The little wolf cub had to praise the efficiency of the players.
He briefly explained the situation to Vivian. Of course, many unnecessary details were omitted in the middle. In short, the little girl showed an expression of anticipation and worry.
Of course, she was very happy to be able to build an equipment smelter on Sakuragi Island. The owner of the factory was her acquaintance, Uncle Zhao Jie. But it was also because of this that Vivian was very concerned about the safety of the factory.
After all, the scene of Zhao Jie being blown up and killed by her during the rebellion against the Water God was still fresh in Vivian’s mind.
Reaching out, he plucked a shimmering sakura sprout from the branch of the divine cherry blossom. This was the reward for the third stage, the sakura twig.
After Vivian took it out, she had clearly left the Celestial Sakura Dimension, but with the branch in her hand, the little girl felt that the Celestial Sakura was still in front of her.
Now that he had obtained the key item, the next step was to choose the place to insert it.
In the beginning, the safe zone that could be set up by the branches was relatively small. It was only about the size of a university field. Even the smallest mine on Sakuragi Island could not cover it. Therefore, the little wolf cubs could only give up the idea of including the mine.
In this way, it was equivalent to giving up mining and letting Zhao Jie’s factory focus on smelting equipment. The advantage was naturally that the safety factor was greatly increased, but the disadvantage was that the efficiency would be lower.
It wasn’t that there were fewer people mining. The wolf cubs didn’t expect Zhao Jie’s workers to dig. This kind of hardship… This kind of great opportunity to complete missions was naturally reserved for the players.
Unfortunately, because the ” safe zone ” could not envelop the mine, it meant that the cursed pollution on the ore had to be purified by the Players themselves with Cherry Dew. This way, no matter how many mines the Players dug, the amount of Cherry Dew purified every day was limited, which undoubtedly limited the output.
That was the only way to go in the early stages, and the wolf cubs did not have any good ideas. In the end, after discussing everything with Vivian, they chose a mine on the outskirts of Sakuragi Island that happened to have an open space suitable for setting up camp.
Vivian played the role of the fox-faced witch again. Under the instructions of the wolf cubs, she did not deliberately hide her whereabouts like the previous times.
On the contrary, the fox-faced witch appeared openly in front of the players this time. She brought the sakura branch and went to the planned area to set up the sakura safe zone.
This action attracted the attention of the players, causing many of them to stop farming monsters and level up. They chased after the fox-faced witch, curious about the little girl’s actions.
Quite a few quick-witted players had already guessed it and were secretly excited and looking forward to it. It must be that a new storyline was about to begin.
When the sakura branch was inserted into the soil by Vivian, it immediately burst into dazzling light. At this time, the Sakura Shrine, which was located at the peak of Sakuragi Island, also flickered and responded.
A semi-transparent barrier of the Cherry Blossom spread out rapidly, covering the entire open area in front of the mine with the branch as the center.
Under such a strange phenomenon, the players looked around and exclaimed.
They looked at their feet. The unknown purple moss that had covered the ground began to recede like a tide. The plants that had grown on them and mutated due to the curse also withered and deformed. In the end, they died.
However, if they looked closely, the Players would see a touch of fresh green under the corpses of the dead mutated plants. It should not have appeared on Sakuragi Island, but it symbolized true life.
After getting used to seeing all kinds of things in the netherworld, this was undoubtedly a great comfort to the players ‘hearts, making them unable to help but have the desire to protect them.
Apart from the earth and the vegetation, the light purple air around the players, which was originally covered in a layer of filth, also became clear and transparent.
Some players who stood at the boundary of the Celestial Sakura Barrier could feel the difference the most.
The barrier was like a filter. The curse fog outside the barrier had just returned and drifted over. In the end, the moment it touched the barrier, it was like the first snow being hit by the sun. It evaporated in minutes.
“Yay!” Cheers rang out from the players.
After the introduction of the faction system, the mentality of the players also changed. Originally, they might have only used Sakuragi Island as a dungeon setting, but now, more or less, they really had a sense of belonging. Naturally, I feel happy to see that my home and the environment have become better..
