Chapter 27: Alloy Carriage

Chen Xiyi glanced at Old Taoist Xuan Li, who seemed to want to say something but ultimately stayed silent.

Although he didn’t know what the other person wanted to say, Chen Xiyi sensed that Old Taoist Xuan Li seemed somewhat intimidated by Wang Li, who was called Prince Zhuang. It was like a commoner feeling nervous around an official.

Chen Xiyi didn’t think about helping Old Taoist Xuan Li here. If the other person had been a friendly green dot on his map, or if they were friends with high favorability, he might have helped. But looking at the situation now – a white unit not even added as a friend – why should he help?

Just because the old man gave him a scroll?

Chen Xiyi had already helped the old man live a comfortable life without worries about food or clothing, and even gave him a weapon that could be considered a magical treasure in this world. This was more than enough to repay the value of that scroll.

In the old man’s hands, the scroll was just a painting used for worship.

Only in Chen Xiyi’s hands could it be enlightened to summon the River Fairy: Jianghu.

“Great Immortal, the items you requested have arrived. Would you like to check them?” the head of the Song Family asked.

Chen Xiyi looked at his map, where many white dots had been waiting for some time.

“No need. Are there any more items still on the way or being purchased?” Chen Xiyi asked casually.

“Reporting to Great Immortal, there are indeed some more, this…”

“I understand. Since they’ve been purchased, I’ll take them all. Keep them here for now, and I’ll collect them when I return later. I’ll pay for everything in advance.”

Looking at the list in his hand, Chen Xiyi provided a sufficient amount of food.

He had to admit that starting by pretending to be an immortal and tricking people had been quite useful. At least now he was winning big.

Hearing Chen Xiyi’s words, the three family heads felt happy. They thought the items would be stuck with them, but surprisingly they weren’t.

“Thank you, Great Immortal, thank you,” the three family heads quickly said.

“It’s nothing. I was the one who asked you three for this favor. I can’t let you suffer any losses now,” Chen Xiyi said with a kind expression.

He hadn’t been this friendly before because he didn’t have the resources, but now that he did, he could further build his persona and make improvements.

“In that case, let’s start our journey.”

Before anyone else could speak, Chen Xiyi said to Wang Li.

Wang Li was somewhat confused. Why were they leaving so suddenly?

He knew that traveling to the Capital wasn’t simple – the journey wasn’t short at all.

But then he suddenly thought: this was the Great Immortal, who might have the ability to travel thousands of miles in a single day.

And he couldn’t exactly refuse to go. If he angered the other party, he might be killed on the spot.

“Yes, Great Immortal. How does the Great Immortal plan to travel?” Wang Li asked respectfully.

Chen Xiyi smiled: “Of course by carriage. Everyone, let’s go.”

This was his way of saying goodbye, telling them not to stay in his home any longer.

No one said anything, and they all followed him out.

When Chen Xiyi came out, Jianghu jumped onto him. Looking at the neatly arranged wooden crates, Chen Xiyi pointed casually, and Jianghu used 5 units of water to break all the crates.

Large amounts of resources turned into white light and vanished into Chen Xiyi’s body. Chen Xiyi was quite satisfied with this. Although the amount wasn’t as large as previous times, it was clear that the three noble families, wanting to please Chen Xiyi, had placed more gold and silver among the items this time.

“Do you have anyone under your command who knows the way?” Chen Xiyi asked Wang Li contentedly after doing this.

Wang Li had just regained his composure. While others might have seen this a few times and weren’t as shocked as he was, the sight of creating rushing river water with just a point of his finger filled him with admiration.

“Yes, I do. May I ask why the Great Immortal needs this?” Wang Li had just asked when he felt he had said something stupid.

“Naturally to have him drive the carriage.”

Chen Xiyi smiled mysteriously and immediately took out a carriage.

[Alloy Carriage (Three Horses)]

[Durability: 1000/1000]

[Comfort: 50]

[Movement Speed: 100]

[Consumption: 20 units of charcoal/coal per hour]

The carriage was entirely made of metal, including the three horses. This was one of the top transportation methods, though unfortunately it couldn’t be enchanted.

Of course, there were similar items like alloy horses and alloy sedan chairs, but those were for single-person use, while the alloy carriage could seat four people.

“This… this…” Wang Li didn’t know what to say when he saw this. In his eyes, could this carriage even move?

“Let’s go. Have that guide drive the carriage,” Chen Xiyi said as he climbed onto the carriage first and casually found a place to sit.

Wang Li had no choice but to assign a servant who knew the way to drive the carriage, then climbed aboard himself.

The servant was worried about how to drive this carriage.

But when he sat in the driver’s seat, Chen Xiyi gave him temporary driving permission, and he suddenly knew how. The carriage didn’t need him to drive it manually – he could control it with his mind. The servant felt this was absolutely amazing, truly worthy of being an immortal’s mount.

“Everyone, we’ll be leaving now,” Wang Li said, sticking his head out after feeling the carriage gently shake.

Before anyone could reply, the carriage turned into a blur and sped away.

It moved so fast that they couldn’t even see the carriage anymore before they could respond to Prince Zhuang.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling this seemed somewhat reckless.

To them, it did seem a bit reckless – leaving just like that without giving any further instructions?

But to Chen Xiyi, this was completely normal. Now that he had abundant resources plus Jianghu, he could say he had developed well. While he remained cautious, his mindset was gradually shifting to that of a player.

For Chen Xiyi, he had already explored this area’s map, resources, and quests, and there wasn’t much value left. Naturally, it was time to change maps.

As for waiting for others to deliver resources to him…

He had considered this, but the problem was that the Home Game was unfinished. Whether for equipment or tools, the highest level was just combined equipment with three enchantments.

He had also built most of the facilities he needed, such as the four basic devices, some decorations to increase comfort, building materials, etc. He had enough resources to make more, but he didn’t because these weren’t necessary. Even living in a wooden hut with lower comfort was fine.

What he really needed were modules related to the Spirit of History. This module contained many things, but all required fairies/spirits to help. Otherwise, apart from making some food like Jelly Ice Cream, Chen Xiyi couldn’t make anything else.
