Chapter 56: Transmission Device Upgrade

  "Jewels?!" exclaimed the butler in surprise.

  Du Le was overjoyed, and in a huge boulder, there were no less than three bowl-sized energy stones. Each energy stone contained energy that was three times greater than the first energy stone he had encountered.

  Not only that, but the whole mountain, if what Guan Jia said was true, was full of such stone mines. Du Le didn't know how to get excited anymore.

  From the ground, Du Le carefully picked up three energy stones and put them all into a spatial pouch in front of Guan Jia.

  Seeing the gemstone on Du Le's hand disappear instantly, the butler was not surprised. His master had always been mysterious and unpredictable, so it was no wonder that he had many more extraordinary abilities.

  "Take me to the bedroom in the mountain villa." Du Le ordered the butler, he could no longer bear the urge to use the energy within the Energy Stone.

  "Yes, sir, please follow me." The butler replied with a slight bow and walked ahead.

  It's finally possible to engrave another permanent level coordinate point again, with more options, and avoid unexpected situations when one is not careful.

  Under the guidance of Guan Jia, Du Le walked into a room that was decorated with a rich classical flavor and spotless. There was also a bookshelf in the room, simple yet elegant. However, Du Le didn't have time to appreciate it, his mind was now focused on the Energy Stone.

  Du Le instructed the housekeeper to recruit more people to dig for ore and try to preserve this black stone, handing it over to him. Upon learning that his own mountain had a gemstone mine, the housekeeper was also overjoyed and repeatedly agreed.

  Then, Du Le ordered the housekeeper to leave and dismissed his attendants.

  As soon as he closed the door, Du Le hurriedly activated the positioning transmitter.

  "Ding, experience has reached upgrade conditions, positioning transmitter starting upgrade..."

  "Transporter targeting system upgrade complete."

  "Host absorbing space capsule, re-scanning space..."

  "Unable to connect to network, switching to offline mode, unable to obtain official technical support..."

  When Du Le realized he had successfully teleported back to the room in Fuyong City Factory, his inner excitement was irrepressible. Haha, what a double joy! Du Le shouted out loud with excitement.

  "Director Du, is there something?" a sudden greeting came from outside the door.

  "This is the head of security in the factory. Du Leqing cleared his throat and smiled: "It's nothing, you go ahead with your business, don't disturb me for now.""

  "Alright, Mr. Du has something to say, he'll call us." The voice outside the door replied.

  Du Le took a glance at the door lock and saw that it was still closed. He didn't dawdle, immediately checking the transmission device.

  The grey cloth bag was gone, the space hadn't disappeared, it had just merged into his body for some unknown reason. Du Le seemed to be carrying the space with him, and whenever he wanted to use it, he could summon it with just a thought.

  It's okay, nothing in the space is missing, and the three energy stones are still quietly waiting in the space.

  Being able to have a personal space, at least you don't have to worry about losing your spatial pouch.

  Overjoyed, Du Le hurriedly asked the helpful spirit and wanted to know about the specific changes of the transmission device.

  As expected, the transporter's buffer time has decreased by about a third, and its energy absorption speed has also increased significantly.

  Of course, Du Le was most delighted by the discovery of the Energy Stone Mine.

  Du Le took out an energy stone and began to activate the positioning function.

  "Are you sure about engraving permanent coordinates? With the energy stone's energy, it can sustain for three hundred years in Earth time." The helpful spirit reminded.

  Du Leqiang was about to say something definite, but suddenly felt he shouldn't be so rash.

  The reason is simple, that is, there are too many people coming and going in the factory, which is not conducive to his secrecy. He doesn't want to spread rumors that the factory has ghosts.

  Jiang Yun had rented a house in the city half a month ago to facilitate management of the sales department and trading company, and Du Le felt that he should also find a safe and strictly managed residence. He couldn't stay in the factory forever, it was only temporary. It would be best for him to find a suite in a nearby neighborhood for his own use.

  Having made up his mind, Du Le took out his mobile phone and called Liao Bingkun.

  Now that I'm also a boss, I definitely don't need to go find a room myself. There is no secretary for the time being, so I can only ask Liao Bingkun. Most of the people in the factory are locals, and it shouldn't be too hard to find a safe and comfortable room with a good environment.

  With the energy stone, Du Le prepared to set up at least two more permanent coordinate points, one in his rented house and the other on the mountain villa. Anyway, a total of 10 coordinate points can be set, with an endless supply of energy stones, it would be a waste not to use the available slots, and it would also be more convenient for himself.

  Soon, Du Le put down his phone. To be honest, he was a bit embarrassed to ask Liao Bingkun for such things. It seemed necessary to find a secretary or at least an assistant who could be on call at all times. From the conversation just now, Du Le could tell that Liao Bingkun was currently in the factory's machining workshop, with the sound of machinery vibrating and humming loudly.

  Fortunately, things went smoothly, and Liao Bingkun was quite familiar with the residential area, knowing that there was a vacant house in a nearby neighborhood, and he gave Du Le the contact number.

  After much hustle and bustle, Du Le finally found a new place to live.

  Olympic Garden community, mid-to-high-end residential area, with relatively strict management, security patrols, and only two bus stops away from the factory. Du Le chose a house on the 8th floor of a 12-story building in the community, three bedrooms and two living rooms, over 80 square meters, 2400 yuan per month, paying three months' rent and one month's deposit, with simple decoration. As long as he buys some bedding, he can move in directly, Du Le is quite satisfied.

  Du Le didn't rush to move the daily necessities from the factory to his new home, but instead first confirmed the rental house and set the coordinates.

  A piece of energy stone suddenly lost its luster, coordinate setting successful.

  Du Le didn't stay for long, after setting the coordinates, he immediately activated the transmission function and transmitted to the Jin Yang City mansion coordinate point. He still had to rush to set up another coordinate at the mountain villa. Temporary coordinate points have too many uncertain factors, so as not to waste energy, Du Le decided that unless necessary, he would set up fewer temporary transmission points in the future.

  Transmitted back into Jinyang City, Du Le changed his clothes and walked out from the back door of the courtyard.

  It wasn't until then that Du Le realized that Jinyang City seemed to be getting more and more deserted, with only a few pedestrians hurrying by, the air filled with a cold and gloomy atmosphere, occasionally seeing some soldiers patrolling, most of the shops on both sides of the street had already closed.

  Du Le walked on the street, and the degree of surprise in his heart was indescribable. He had never expected that in just one day, the entire Jinyang City seemed to have changed completely, as if it were a different city. If not for the few scattered people still appearing on the streets, Du Le would have suspected that Jinyang City had become a dead city.

  Du Le originally wanted to leave the city gate directly, but unexpectedly, the city gate was not only closed, but also had a large group of soldiers guarding it, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching within 50 steps. Under duress, Du Le gave up his idea of going to the suburban villa and turned back to the wine tower to find Yan Fu. He now urgently needed to know what exactly happened in this Jin Yang City on this day?

  It's okay, the restaurant is still operating normally, it's just that there seem to be fewer customers than yesterday. Maybe it's not dinner time yet. Du Le thought to himself.

  "Yan Fu, what's going on in the city?" Du Le hurriedly pulled Yan Fu into a private room as soon as he entered the wine house, stopping him from greeting him and asked eagerly.

  "Master, you don't know yet! It's all messed up!" Yan Fu said with a puzzled and uneasy expression, his face showing obvious panic.

  "Speak clearly, what's going on!" Du Le felt his heart jump to his throat and quickly pulled Yan Fu to sit on a stool. "The government didn't provide food, the refugees rioted! Many people died! Fortunately, they closed the city gate in time, but I heard that many wealthy families outside were looted by the rioters." Yan Fu said with a trembling voice.

  Du Le frowned, "How can we get out?" Nothing happened early or late, but something had to happen at this time. Moreover, Du Le was eager to know how the manor outside the city was doing.

  "We can't get out now, the city gate is closed and the whole city is under martial law! Even the Emperor has issued an edict." Yan Fu replied.

  "Do you know what's going on outside the manor?" Du Le asked.

  Yan Fu revealed a relieved expression and said, "Fortunately, the old steward went to the mountain villa and hasn't returned yet. Most of the people in the manor have fled to the mountain villa. This is the news brought back by one of the family servants who escaped from the mountain villa during the riot. However, most of the grain in the manor has been looted by the rioters."

  "It's done and over with, as long as no one got hurt." Du Le said, then busied himself thinking with his head lowered.

  Yan Fu heard this and a bright light flashed in his eyes, a feeling of being moved spreading in his heart. At this moment, Yan Fu truly regarded Du Le as his own master.
