Visiting the various institutions in the city, he started from the tailor shop before moving to the medical hall and then the newly established dojo.
From the dojo he stopped at the woodworking shop, the blacksmith shop, the restaurant and the butcher shop.
The above mentioned institutions have at least one professional handling them.
The others without an occupant include a steel mill plant, a potter house, a stable and a bathhouse.
"The city is growing not only in its size but in other areas away."
Zhou Zhou had a smile on his face while on his way to seek Obadiah.
Coming up to Zhou Zhou, Caitlyn reported.
"Vice lord Hui Teng say to inform you that Fish Spring Town has completed their deal."
"The 200 subjects are at the entrance."
"I got it."
Zhou Zhou said to one of Hui Teng's assistants after listening to her report.
Bowing one more time, Caitlyn took her leave.
I hope a few of them will at least be interesting.
Zhou Zhou thought as he diverted towards the city's entrance.
"My lord."
Hui Teng greeted at Zhou Zhou's arrival.
"You have a dossier?"
Zhou Zhou asked seeing the documents in another of Hui Teng's assistant's hands.
"We arranged them based on their professional. That's their only difference."
Hui Teng answered.
"They are all of the same age group?"
Zhou Zhou was surprised at Hui Teng's last sentence.
"That's right. The lord of Fish Spring Town really outdid himself."
Hui Teng said with a smile.
Nodding, Zhou Zhou went through the dossier while Hui Teng kept an eye on the 200 subjects been served by Qin Guang, his wife and the other 9 chefs.
"10 Green bronze-tier lifestyle professionals and 50 Black iron-tier lifestyle professionals."
"The others are non-professionals."
"Zhang Boen really did outdo himself."
The transmigrator muttered after 3 minutes.
Looking away from the dossiers and at Hui Teng, he said.
"Invite the farmer, Douma, over."
Turning to his assistant, Hui Teng sent her.
Coming back with a man in his thirties, Tatia reported the conclusion of her task to her boss.
"I had an architect design this, what do you think?"
Showing Douma the hand drawn blueprint of an irrigation ditch done by Zhao Changshou, Zhou Zhou asked for his opinion.
"Everything looks alright. But the terrain of the city would require the ditch to be at least two time bigger than indicated."
Douma replied after inspecting the entire drawing.
Hearing Douma's words, Zhou Zhou sighed.
"My greatest fear on this path has descended on me."
The amount of building materials he needed to make his city a metropolis wasn't something he could currently match in terms of the speed of his conquest.
Focusing his gaze on Douma, he made his decision.
"Come with me."
"Yes, my lord."
Having seen Zhou Zhou's portrait in Fish Spring Town, Douma knew he was the lord of the city.
Having rested properly, the 17m giant stood in wait for his lordship a couple of minutes from the hour he appointed.
"My lord."
Seeing his lord coming with another human, he came in front of him before going on one kneel with his head bowed.
"How was your rest?"
With his head raised, Zhou Zhou looked at Obadiah.
"It was great, my lord."
Obadiah answered with a satisfied smile.
"That's good. Take a look at this."
"Can you build it?"
Handing the drawn blueprint to Doodah, Zhou Zhou asked him.
"I can. But I will have to increase the size of the ditch by 50% for the best result."
Obadiah said after going through the diagram.
Shaking his head, Douma respond before Zhou Zhou.
"With the terrain of the city, you will have to make the ditch two times of the original design size."
"I know."
"That's why I will make the terrain suitable by hardening it."
Surprised by the giant's words, Douma had nothing else to say.
"Will you require the exact amount of materials listed for the project?"
Bringing up his most troubling issue, Zhou Zhou asked.
"I'll be using my magic for the most part, so no."
"About 40% of the materials will be made use of."
Obadiah said.
"That's good."
"You can begin immediately."
Experiencing a relief after hearing Obadiah's words, Zhou Zhou said before depositing an initial amount of materials into the giant cart beside Obadiah's tent.
Pulling his cart along with him, Obadiah headed towards the location kept for the ditch.
"Time to deal with the Ultimate Collector."
Zhou Zhou muttered as he headed to his lord courtyard.
…
Aurora Kingdom's Royal Palace.
In a study room.
The king of the Aurora Kingdom, Li Yuangan, was looking at the memorial in his hand.
His hair was already white after being the king for over 50 years.
However, his eyes were bright, steady, and powerful.
An imposing aura emanated from his body.
Anyone who saw such an old man would feel that he could govern the Aurora Kingdom for another 50 years!
A moment later
He put down the memorial.
"The lord of Blazing Sun City."
"He actually unified a Black iron-tier area in just seven days."
"And even took out the troublesome fog monsters in Zhang Boen's territory."
"The younger generation will surpass us in time."
Li Yuangan lamented.
"What should I reward him with?"
"If he wants aurora crystals, we can give him the authority to trade aurora crystals."
"But the reward alone doesn't seem to accord him the due respect."
He looked thoughtful.
After a while, he came to a decision.
"Tomorrow is their novice lord test."
"If he can perform very well in the novice lord test, my Aurora Kingdom will do our best to help him advance further in the lord of all races contest."
..
Without any delay, Zhou Zhou immediately activated the method used in communicating with the Ultimate Collector.
[The Ultimate Collector: It's just over 24 hours; don't you think you're wasting my time?]
"I will be wasting your time if only I have nothing of interest."
Zhou Zhou said before bringing out the loots to be traded off.
A total of 17,500 change class certificates, 13,403 skill books, 999 poison sacs, 999 antidotes, 395 potion formulas and 37,565 equipment were brought out for trade.
[The Ultimate Collector: You're interesting. I like it.]
[Lord Talent Hint: Your lord talent, The Ultimate Collector, has been upgraded to the Extraordinary-tier.]
[Talent Effect 1: You can now make 4 trades a day.]
[Remark: The highest level of goods to be traded for is still of the legendary-tier.]
[Keep surprising me - The Ultimate Collector.]
Seeing the series of notifications in front of him, Zhou Zhou was shocked.
"His impression of me can actually influence the growth of the lord talent!"
Bringing Zhou Zhou's attention back to reality, the Ultimate Collector said.
[The Ultimate Collector: The highest tier of item you can trade for is a Diamond-tier item]
[The Ultimate Collector: You can only trade for 2 Diamond-tier items and 5 White platinum-tier items]
[The Ultimate Collector: With only 4 trades a day to your name, only your goods worth 2 Diamond-tier, 2 White platinum-tier items and my charge would be taken]
Using his last interaction with Zhou Zhou as a preference, the Ultimate Collector explained.
Choosing to maximize his trade, he got 2 gigantification potions worth 2 Diamond-tier items, and 2 White platinum-tier potential advancement potions.
[The Ultimate Collector: Your trade is successful. Your items has been deposited into your spatial ring.]
Checking his spatial ring, Zhou Zhou saw the traded goods.
"Thank you."
Grateful for the existence and favor of the Ultimate Collector, he thanked him.
[The Ultimate Collector: You're welcome]
Returning the remaining goods on the ground into his spatial ring, he read through the information on his newly acquired goods.
Same as last time, the potential advancement potion directly increased ones potential to the White platinum-tier advance grade.
For the 20m gigantification potion worth a Diamond-tier item, it would grant one the stamina to remain gigantic for as long as 24 hours unless deactivated.
"The future is getting brighter and brighter."
Zhou Zhou smiled as he left his courtyard and moved towards the Hall of Truth.
