83: Zhang Xile's Tang Dynasty Safety Zone
"Use these items to upgrade the Shelter now."
"Right, there is one more task. Before school starts, you must leave behind a child. As for school matters, you don't need to worry about that; I will arrange an admission spot for you at the First Extraordinary High School."
"Also, this item is a C-Rank mental defense extraordinary prop that the family spent a great price to trade for—the Spirit Concealment Bead. It can conceal the shelter item within your spirit."
"Additionally, this is my ninth sister. During this vacation, you are to leave a child in her womb. This is the only requirement."
Tang Ping's eyes flickered, and he exclaimed inwardly, 'It seems this Xiao Family has me figured out; they even dare to bring out a Small Secret Ground.'
Of course, since he was only an E-rank Talent and had no backing, in their eyes, he was just too easy to manipulate.
Tang Ping nodded: "Fine, I understand. But you should at least give me some benefits. Furthermore, I also need some self-preservation ability. I want Small Secret Ground experience stones; I need to ensure I can break through to Level Three."
Xiao Sheng pondered for a moment. It seemed he really did need to let the other party gain some self-preservation ability; otherwise, upon entering the First Extraordinary High School, he would definitely be bullied.
At the same time, he inwardly cursed the rules of the Xingyao Safe Zone. Awakened Talent Users must attend an extraordinary high school, otherwise, it would attract an investigation from the Xingyao Safe Zone, even if the target was only F-Rank.
If not for this reason, no matter what, he would never let Tang Ping attend any high school.
"Fine, just wait. I will speak with Father. Additionally, I will get you a D-Rank talent upgrade stone, to save you from getting beaten to death at the First Extraordinary High School."
Being beaten to death was impossible, but Xiao Sheng was worried that if the other party were bullied and happened to commit suicide, then his Xiao Family would have lost a fortune.
The preciousness of that Small Secret Ground went without saying, even though it could only generate an upper limit of 10 experience points per day.
But accumulated over a year, that was 3650 Small Secret Ground experience stones!
This didn't just represent cultivation resources; it was a constant stream of money!
Moreover, the experience stones generated in a year were enough to ensure the family could cultivate three Level Three Talent Users.
With just three years of accumulation, they could cultivate a Level Four!
Furthermore, his father was only short 40,000 Small experience stones. With the family's income and the output of the Small Secret Ground, if they tightened their belts, there was hope for his father to break through to Level Five within five years!
Originally, because the family didn't have a Shelter, they didn't dare to concentrate all resources to let his father break through, but now that they had a Shelter, things were different!
Moreover, because of the Small Secret Ground, they also urgently needed a sufficiently powerful Level Five powerhouse.
Thinking of these things, Xiao Sheng was extremely excited.
If the family did better, he could also obtain more resources. He didn't believe that his dignified B-Rank Talent, Ice Soul Pupil, was just a trash talent for peeping into others' spirit seas.
He believed his talent must be an extremely rare and powerful mental-type talent; it was just that the level was too low to see it yet.
Previously, the family was in a tight spot, so they couldn't spare resources to support a talent with an unclear future.
But once the family promoted to a Fifth-Level Extraordinary Family and had the Small Secret Ground.
The family would re-evaluate him, the only other B-Rank Talent besides his father!
After all, if they took a gamble, the family might end up with two B-Rank Talent Level Fives!
And with the Small Secret Ground, the family had the confidence to gamble.
Xiao Sheng took a deep breath; his future had finally come alive from a stagnant pool!
He strode away, leaving behind a nervous younger sister. This ninth sister was destined to be the one sacrificed.
From the moment she was born into an Extraordinary Family, her fate was not hers to decide.
Tang Ping didn't pay attention to the young girl standing to the side; instead, he picked up the shelter fragments and the Level Three blueprint, and in one go, upgraded the Shelter to Level Three!
And fused the Small Secret Ground!
"Unexpectedly, it was I from a hundred years later who upgraded the Shelter to Level Three first."
Tang Ping looked at the two-story small building before him, sighing in his heart.
The small building was much larger than a normal Level Three Shelter because it contained a Small Secret Ground.
This Small Secret Ground occupied 60 square meters, and adding the original area of the Level Three Shelter, it was 180 square meters.
The Shelter was arranged next to his living quarters.
Xiao Xiaomo, standing to the side, watched in astonishment as a pebble was tossed out and turned into a house!
"Is this the Shelter?" Xiao Xiaomo pinched the corner of her clothes. As the child of the family head, she had no talent and naturally wouldn't be treated with any regard. Although having no talent was due to the loss of the Shelter, and not her own fault, unfortunately, even though she was the family head's daughter, she couldn't break the solid barrier between ordinary people and Extraordinary Users.
But at this moment, it was as if something was breaking through the soil in her heart, desperately wanting to grow, wanting to catch a glimpse of another world.
But in an instant, she plunged back into the abyss. Right, she couldn't possibly awaken a talent again. Being unable to awaken a talent meant there were no possibilities.
Perhaps the best fate for her in this life was to give birth to an outstanding child. This child would awaken a talent at sixteen, step into the world of Extraordinary Users, and receive the respect of others.
And she wouldn't have to leave the family due to an arranged marriage.
She only needed to quietly rely on the family and raise her child.
"Hello, my name is Xiao Xiaomo." Xiao Xiaomo lowered her head.
She seemed to have accepted the arrangement of fate.
Tang Ping only then realized and noticed the girl beside him.
He nodded indifferently: "Find any room you like and settle in."
He still had many things to attend to.
"Yes." Xiao Xiaomo entered the villa.
Tang Ping opened his panel.
S-rank Talent, Extreme Ice, Level 2.
A-Rank Talent, Ice Soul Pupil, Level 1.
"Next time, I can collect over a hundred a-rank experience stones. After returning to Jiangcheng, I will put them into the Shelter." Tang Ping pondered inwardly. S-Rank experience stones were not easy to get, but it shouldn't take too many times for him to gather enough.
By then, the Xiao Family, or whatever, would be a place he could come and go as he pleased.
The Xiao Family wanted his Shelter, but wasn't he also wanting their resources?
He didn't need to wait for high school to start in two months.
He only needed half a month, or even less! Alone, he could contend with the entire Xiao Family!
"I also need to see if the Safe Zone Zhang Xile established still exists." Based on his memory, Tang Ping searched for the information about Zhang Xile's base in the mountains of Luan City, Nanchuan Province.
"It really was established!"
Tang Ping saw Zhang Xile's Safe Zone. He had even become a Heavenly King, and his grandfather was ranked eighteenth on the Heavenly King Ranking.
[In the 19th year of the Doomsday Calendar, Luan City, Nanchuan Province officially announced the establishment of the Tang Huang Safe Zone. This Safe Zone was quite peculiar because it had no leader, but was managed entirely by the Chief Steward, Heavenly King Guangyao.
It is said that the leader of the Safe Zone is named Tang Huang, and the Tang Huang Safe Zone was named accordingly, but this mysterious Tang Huang has never appeared.
Whether this is a ruse or if such a person truly exists, it is unknown.
However, the Tang Huang Safe Zone, a Safe Zone deep in the mountains, attracted worldwide attention the moment it was established!
Because it has a full 2.4 million mu of normal arable land!
These lands are not affected by the various natural disasters of the apocalypse and can be farmed exactly as they were before the apocalypse.
But this also attracted the covetous gaze of others.]
[In the 49th year of the Doomsday Calendar, Heavenly King Guangyao was murdered by his wife, the Shelter was passed to "his son," and the Safe Zone was renamed the Tianfu Safe Zone!]
