Chapter 141

The application for the ownership of Golden Port was submitted after Jie Ming and David communicated.

As expected, by virtue of his outstanding contribution in this plane trial, as well as the current ruinous state of that area, the application was quickly passed.

Without the slightest delay, Jie Ming directly appeared in the basement of the mansion he had carefully modified before through the space transmission device in the camp.

In the secret room, those few dying orc generals were still trapped in cages, their weak breathing sounds appearing exceptionally clear in the silent space.

Jie Ming glanced at them with satisfaction, knowing his research materials were well preserved.

He walked quickly through the secret passage and arrived at the ground level of the mansion.

Although the external city was already a ruin, the interior of the mansion still maintained the appearance from when he left—the tidy courtyard, the buildings not affected by the war, and the air filled with the fresh fragrance of soil and the faint scent of plants.

Being able to maintain it so well was all thanks to the tasks Jie Ming arranged for the two silver-white dolls before he left.

With the power of this general-purpose doll, maintaining a mansion was more than enough.

Jie Ming stood in the center of the courtyard and roughly inspected the internal state of the mansion.

However, when he walked out of the mansion's illusion range and saw with his own eyes the mess everywhere outside, his brows still couldn't help but wrinkle.

As far as the eye could see, the once bustling Golden Port was now just a shocking ruin.

Charred charcoal, collapsed stone walls, broken beams, and scorched earth burned by the war silently told of the cruelty of the war.

The air was filled with the scent of dust and decay, and occasionally one could see remains that hadn't been completely buried.

Most importantly, large patches of excrement could be seen everywhere in Golden Port.

"Can't these orcs pay attention to the surrounding environment when they are stationed?" Jie Ming couldn't help but "tsk," a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

He raised his hand, and the rune wizarding tool appeared in his palm.

After this trial, Jie Ming instead figured it out; whether considering only elemental attacks or using only pure energy bullets was too extreme.

Anyway, if he spent a little more time, he could manufacture corresponding spell types; why not increase the types of spells the rune wizarding tool could release?

The current rune wizarding tool was a semi-finished product manufactured under such circumstances.

What was engraved in this rune wizarding tool was a type of wizardry mainly based on energy shaping; the attack effect was not strong, but it had good uses in certain specific situations.

The rune wizarding tool emitted a faint fluorescent light, and an invisible force spread from him to all directions.

"Activate!" Jie Ming gave a light shout.

Rumble...

A terrifying sound spread from his location.

That was not the loud sound of an explosion, but more like countless invisible giant hands instantly flattening all the ruins and crushing all the rocks into a dull roar.

Visible to the naked eye, the ruins within a radius of several hundred meters centered on him were completely wiped out by a powerful force within just a few breaths.

All the rubble and remains were crushed into fine dust, then blown away by the invisible airflow, revealing the compacted soil layer underneath.

Jie Ming was like a tireless giant bulldozer, his figure constantly moving in the ruins.

Every place he went, he would use the rune wizarding tool to instantly flatten the surrounding ruins.

Besides this type of rune wizarding tool specifically for flattening land, Jie Ming also took out quite a few rune wizarding tools that could filter the air.

What was engraved on them was essentially a type of wizardry that could filter toxic gas, but after Jie Ming adjusted the power slightly, the strange odors produced by the dilapidated buildings, scorched soil, piles of excrement, and even the rotting matter buried under the ruins were all handled cleanly.

Using this type of rune wizarding tool on the cleared open space at the same time, when the transparent barrier expanded from the inside out, there was only a breeze blowing inside the barrier, leaving a fresh scent.

As for the stench surrounding the outside, Jie Ming only needed to use storm-type spells to blow it away next.

In just half a day, the Golden Port ruins, which originally stretched for several kilometers, turned into a vast and boundless flat land.

The air was fresh, the ground was flat, as if a city had never existed there.

This land was like a giant canvas waiting to be sown, waiting for Jie Ming's brushwork.

After the cleanup was finished, Jie Ming returned to the wizard camp and directly purchased a series of infrastructure through the internal point system of the camp.

With a big wave of his hand, he purchased a basic life-sustaining package sufficient for tens of thousands of people to use.

This included high-energy compressed food sufficient to maintain these people for several months, magic arrays that automatically created water continuously, as well as corresponding medical supplies and modularly built temporary housing.

These were standardized materials prepared by the wizard camp for plane modification and population settlement; after countless years of use and modification by wizards, they had become extremely efficient and practical.

At the same time, Jie Ming also used his alchemy knowledge to take materials on the spot and directly manufactured a pile of basic tools.

From the most ordinary shovels and hoes to simple measuring tools and transport tools, everything was available, and the quantity was massive, sufficient to arm tens of thousands of people.

Everything was ready, and Jie Ming directly contacted David.

"Jie Ming, everything is ready." David's voice came from the communication rune, carrying a hint of rare relaxation, "The people have been sent to the edge of the Golden Port area you delineated; you can receive them at any time."

"Thanks for the hard work." Jie Ming smiled faintly.

He immediately arrived at the outskirts of Golden Port, where a massive wizarding creation resembling a cargo airship was quietly floating in mid-air.

Below the airship, countless massive cabin doors slowly opened, and groups of figures were walking out from inside in an orderly manner.

This was a massive crowd, numbering tens of thousands.

Most of them were young and strong civilians, the male-to-female ratio was normal, their expressions carried a hint of blankness and fatigue, but there was little fear and resistance in their eyes.

Jie Ming swept a glance and discovered that the racial composition of these people was extremely diverse.

Not only were there common humans, orcs, and dwarves, but there were also graceful elves, and even some Drow elves with dark skin and red eyes.

David's figure walked out of the airship; he looked at Jie Ming and explained softly: "These people were all carefully selected by me; their genetic potential is relatively high, which is convenient for subsequent transformation. They have already undergone preliminary modification, including psychological suggestion and primary bloodline correction, washing away those tendencies in their nature that do not conform to the wizard civilization's norms."

He pointed to the Drow elves in the crowd and added: "For example, races like the Drow elves, who are inherently evil and extremely worship darkness, under the effect of these modification potions, their thinking patterns are corrected, and they will become the same as ordinary people, without those extreme evil tendencies, making it easier to integrate into normal society."

Jie Ming nodded slightly, light flashing in his eyes.

"Later, as long as the modification potion is sprinkled two more times, their descendants will completely become humans of the wizard world." David continued, "Please rest assured, I will transport the subsequent modification potions one after another."

"No problem."

The two exchanged some questions about the settlement of the populace, and then David handed his research notes to Jie Ming; only after he flipped through them slightly did he elegantly bow and say goodbye:

"Then, thank you very much for your help; I won't disturb you anymore."

"It's just a transaction; there's no need for thanks."

Watching the airship leaving in the high sky, Jie Ming withdrew his gaze and looked at this vast land before him, as well as these tens of thousands of "new residents" waiting for his orders.

He didn't hesitate too much and immediately arranged the modular housing he purchased, letting these people settle down first.

At the same time, he also distributed compressed food and water-drawing magic arrays to ensure their basic survival needs.

After everyone had eaten a full meal and confirmed that they had settled down, Jie Ming gave the first order to several mortals who appeared relatively clever and had already been preliminarily modified:

"Gather all healthy laborers."

Soon, tens of thousands of young and strong laborers were gathered; they looked blankly at this young wizard, waiting for his instructions.

Jie Ming was not good at giving speeches to people, so he didn't paint a grand blueprint for rebuilding the city for them, but directly gave the order.

His voice, through wizardry enhancement, was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

"You are to rebuild this place." Jie Ming pointed to that flat land, his tone calm but filled with unquestionable will, "But what you are to do is not to rebuild a city."

Everyone held their breath, looking at him in confusion.

"I need you to transform the entire Golden Port area into a giant garden!" Jie Ming's voice raised slightly.

The rune wizarding tool in his hand flashed slightly, and a light screen that everyone could see appeared before their eyes, outlining a grand blueprint—not the reinforced concrete of a city, but winding rivers, blooming flowers, flat grasslands, and countless wizardry research facilities hidden within.

What he wanted was not a city where mortals lived, but a living, constantly evolving, living laboratory that could provide him with research materials and energy.

Although those tens of thousands of civilians didn't understand the wizard's grand plan, under the wizard's powerful mental oppression and the obedient instinct after modification, they didn't have the slightest doubt.

After arranging the general tasks, adhering to the principle of not causing trouble, Jie Ming no longer directed, but found a few master craftsmen skilled in construction to let them arrange the tasks specifically.

Jie Ming stood on the hill, overlooking everything before him.

Dense figures, centered on his mansion, began to move like ants.

This giant garden would not just be a paradise for plants; it would be a hotbed for red dust energy, a circulatory system for life energy, a cradle for the birth of elements, and also a venue for him to obtain countless materials in the future.

Golden Port would no longer be Golden Port, but a golden garden belonging to him alone.
