CHAPTER 388: 297. IS THE FISHERMAN MR. SPIRIT CROWS?

Nowadays, Zhao Xiaoying, having been taught the Canglan Breathing Technique in the Dream Realm, is advancing in strength rapidly.

In just a few short months, her military rank has been promoted from the initial Lieutenant to Captain, achieving a double jump.

Such rapid promotion within the Jiuzhou Legion is quite uncommon.

Those with insight can see that this strikingly beautiful mixed-heritage female superpower user is highly valued by the higher-ups.

What’s most remarkable is that she earned this treatment not because of her appearance, but solely due to her own strength.

Long legged Sister rarely loses when competing with colleagues, even among the first batch of awakened superpower users, few can defeat her.

What impresses people most about Zhao Xiaoying is not her awakened "Blade Strike" superpower.

It’s that she possesses an exceptionally powerful combat intuition.

In battle.

Long legged Sister seemingly can anticipate what move the opponent will use, or which position they will attack.

This often makes her opponents feel uncomfortable, always having a sense of being restricted.

Even the highest Commander of the Legion, Wu Dingtian, after hearing about this, took the time for a spar with her.

Although Wu Dingtian used only thirty percent of his strength and overwhelmed Zhao Xiaoying.

Long legged Sister could occasionally retaliate and hit Wu Dingtian’s Rock Armor several times, which was quite astonishing.

At this very moment.

The orders given by Zhao Xiaoying quickly yielded results.

A Lieutenant reported: "Captain Zhao, the passenger in that taxi is a Yilete person, who arrived in Eastern City yesterday afternoon. He has been commissioned by a major Yilete company to choose a place in Eastern City to establish a branch company, specializing in Otherworld import-export trade."

The so-called "Otherworld import-export trade" is, in essence, reselling resources from the Primordial World.

Zhao Xiaoying nodded lightly.

The Lieutenant further asked: "This is a special period. Should we add Anthony to the focus watch list?"

Zhao Xiaoying thought for a moment and shook her head: "No need, this person should pose no problem."

Since the news of the Pioneer Alliance spread, major companies from countries worldwide rushed over to buy land and buildings in Eastern City to establish companies.

Great Xia has issued special "Otherworld resource import-export licenses" to these companies.

Without a license, one is not qualified to purchase Primordial resources.

A license costs a staggering twenty billion Xia Yuan.

Despite this exorbitant price, numerous companies are willing to fork over large sums to buy the licenses.

To date.

More than three hundred eighty companies have purchased licenses, which alone has brought nearly eight hundred billion Xia Yuan into Great Xia’s coffers.

The intention to purchase licenses among companies will only increase.

People with insight know that quite a number of these companies are actually backed by certain countries’ governments.

The reason Great Xia can "tax" Canglan Star is mainly due to its monopolistic status.

Currently, only Great Xia has the capability to open a portal to the Primordial World and organize personnel to explore unknown regions.

Other countries, including the Carmenia Federation, haven’t even figured out which direction the portal to the Otherworld opens.

Although other countries are cursing the Great Xia People’s avarice, to buy Primordial Resources, they can only obediently pay money to the Great Xia People.

Zhao Xiaoying then ordered: "Special guests will pass through here this afternoon, carefully clear the surrounding area to ensure no problems occur."

"Yes!"

A group of soldiers busily engaged in their work.

The so-called "clearing" not only involves clearing away snow in this area to prevent the appearance of Yetis.

But also includes eliminating other hidden dangers.

Because as the disaster of the cold wave continues, Canglan Star is gradually starting to show some strange phenomena.

The Lieutenant curiously inquired: "Everyone is guessing that the special guests are brought back by Mr. Ghost from the Sea of Death Black Sand; is that true?"

Zhao Xiaoying cast a sideways glance at the Lieutenant, remaining tight-lipped: "Internal decryption is at five in the afternoon, you’ll know by then."

The Lieutenant, aware of military discipline, did not press further.

He lamented: "I heard the scenery in the Sea of Death Black Sand is extremely magnificent, where just a single sand dune is taller than the highest peak on Canglan Star."

"I wonder if someone like me will have the chance to go to the Sea of Death Black Sand. If possible, witnessing it in person would make life worthwhile."

Zhao Xiaoying thought for a moment, then revealed a small secret: "If the Pioneer Alliance explores the Sea of Death Black Sand more in the future, and a safe point is found, Great Xia will attempt to establish a permanent outpost there; you should have a chance to go by then."

The Lieutenant excitedly asked: "When could the outpost possibly be established?"

Zhao Xiaoying replied: "At least you have to wait until either Mr. Ghost or Mr. Spirit Crows become Knight-level powerhouses, otherwise the Canglan People won’t have a powerhouse stationed at the outpost."

The Lieutenant responded with an "Oh," and his excitement cooled considerably: "That might be ten years from now?"

Zhao Xiaoying smiled slightly, and countered: "Lieutenant Lin, have you heard of the Mysterious Visitors?"

Lieutenant Lin nodded: "Of course, I know."

To this day, the news about Great Xia receiving help from Miss Jana the Mermaid has already spread widely around the world.

Many countries’ TV stations have even made special programs discussing the Mysterious Visitors, and this matter is no longer considered a secret.

Zhao Xiaoying continued: "The Civilization World to which the Mysterious Visitors belong is considered a very powerful civilization among many Civilization Worlds.
