Our factory traveled through time

Chapter 74 Flying Sword and Token

"Brother Ce, how did you determine that this barrier was newly created? Why couldn't it have existed for a long time?"

Huang Feipeng found it strange. The barrier was right in front of them, invisible and intangible, but judging from the surrounding traces, there was indeed an invisible wall.

"After we descended the Hengduan Mountains, we walked a kilometer to get here. Along the way, we avoided several Tier 3 ferocious beasts, which were mostly carnivores."

"The imbalance in the proportion of herbivores proves that this small area does not constitute a complete food chain."

"And look, the tree has been split in two, with a section on each side of the barrier. The tree is dead, but the branches and leaves are still green, which further proves that the barrier has just appeared."

Hearing Wang Ce's words, Zhang Luoyan calmly replied, "The problem now is, is this barrier meant to prevent us from getting out, or to prevent outside creatures from getting in?"

Yang Miao, who was usually taciturn, suddenly spoke up at this moment: "Whether it's preventing us from going out or preventing outsiders from coming in, I think the most essential element is to protect us."

"Imagine if we went out, there would probably be a large number of second and third-tier ferocious beasts outside, or even beings with higher levels of life."

"Given the strength of our park, sending them out like this would result in heavy casualties."

"The reason we're not allowed to go out is to prevent us from suffering greater losses. Similarly, the reason we're not allowed to come in is to protect us from encountering a powerful enemy too early."

Walking along the boundary of the barrier, it feels like the world is just a stone's throw away.

They could have easily stepped across, but they were forcibly separated into two different worlds.

Wang Ce touched the barrier and found that his hand couldn't pass through.

"If we follow the logic of protecting us, then I suspect that all of this was the work of that Xuan Turtle."

"Imagine that after we travel through time, we don't know any other super beings, so there's no reason for them to protect us. Only this Xuan Turtle has a pretty good relationship with us."

Upon hearing Wang Ce's analysis, everyone except Huang Feipeng and Zhao Jiajia fell into deep thought.

Feeling he couldn't keep up with the others' train of thought, and not wanting to appear stupid in front of Zhao Jiajia, Huang Feipeng stubbornly insisted:

"If you ask me, you clever people just love to overthink things. What if that black tortoise discovered some rare treasure and doesn't want other life forms to find it, so it set up a barrier?"

As soon as Huang Feipeng finished speaking, he felt several pairs of eyes turn to look at him.

Wang Ce patted him on the shoulder and said with rare praise, "I have to say, Fatty, you really do have some skills sometimes."

Huang Feipeng chuckled. He had just said it casually, but he didn't expect it to actually work.

After a brainstorming session, everyone had basically figured out the connection: this barrier was very likely the work of the Xuan Turtle.

Regardless of their motives, the Xuan Turtle had no power to change their minds.

However, Zhao Jiajia's mention of three hundred days was probably a signal from the Xuan Turtle, that is, to prepare for being trapped for three hundred days.

Given the strength of the Xuan Turtle, being able to even acknowledge or deal with them would be an incredible blessing.

It's like you're squatting on the ground watching ants move house. Would you patiently persuade an ant that has gone astray to return to the right path?

The answer is naturally no, because you know perfectly well that ants simply cannot understand what you are saying, it's like playing music to a cow.

At this point, if you can simply pick up that ant and throw it back into the ant colony, that's already an act of kindness.

Perhaps to the black tortoise, they were just like those ants, merely providing amusement.

Zhao Jiajia, who tells stories to the black tortoise, is an ant that can dance ballet, so naturally, she would take a second look.

"First, clear out the ferocious beasts from this one-kilometer stretch north of the Hengduan Mountains!"

"Firstly, it will reduce the defensive pressure on the North Gate, freeing up more manpower for infrastructure construction. Secondly, Kurokawa Yoshiko and I need to advance to the third tier."

"It seems we won't be able to leave this area anytime soon. I will teach you martial arts and magic after the cleanup mission is over."

"As long as you master just one of these, you will definitely far surpass those who have evolved physical abilities, and may even be comparable to those with superpowers."

Wang Ce's words immediately caught the attention of Guo Ping'an and Yang Miao.

Currently, besides Sheng Hong's direct descendants, there are only two third-tier individuals, while Sheng Hong has five, including four ability users and one with an abnormally strong physique, Wang Ce.

It was a huge surprise that Wang Ce was willing to teach them martial arts.

"Of course, I'm not exactly a helpful person. Guo Ping'an, you need to give me the magic sword in your hand, and the token in Yang Miao's hand."

These are treasures possessed by cultivators, and Wang Ce was naturally very envious.

Previously, he didn't make demands because of the overall plan for unification. Now that the park is unified, and Zhang Luoyan hasn't tried to seize power excessively.

If these two lads don't catch up, they'll need a good talking-to.

"If Manager Wang likes this magic sword, then we'll give it to him."

Guo Ping'an has now come to terms with reality. He was initially a bit resentful, but many things have shown that the combination of Wang Ce and Zhang Luoyan is clearly stronger.

If it were just Wang Ce's martial prowess or Zhang Luoyan's organizational skills, he wouldn't easily give up against either of them.

However, the combined energy of the two forced him to give up.

If he had been paired with Zhou Li of Daqiang Electronics Technology and Luo Ji of Jingmao Luggage from the beginning, he would still have had the ambition to compete.

At this stage, it is neither possible nor necessary.

"Give this token to Manager Wang as well!"

Yang Miao wasn't particularly reluctant to part with it; he had practically figured out every trick in the book about this token.

He tried burning it, soaking it in water, burying it in the soil, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, cutting it with equipment, guiding it with his mind, and even dripping blood, but there was no reaction at all.

There's really no way to use it; aside from being indestructible and usable as a breastplate, it's completely useless.

This is different from Guo Ping'an's flying sword, which can cut through iron like mud and is a true divine weapon.

"I've taken your benefits, but I won't let you suffer any losses. If I have any useful items later that my girlfriend doesn't need, I can consider giving them to you."

Wang Ce spoke these words without any pretense; he was, after all, a straightforward person.

Although he was somewhat clever, he used it all to avoid being schemed against by others; he rarely schemed against others.

Because he always believed in one principle: either don't make a move, or if you do, make a fatal blow and don't give the enemy a second chance.

"hiss--"

Wang Ce gasped, and Zhang Luoyan pinched his waist.

This girl said she'd give herself a chance, so why is she pinching herself now? Women are such strange creatures.

Holding the magic sword and the token in his hands, Wang Ce wanted to see what was so magical about these two treasures for cultivation.

"There are no gold-level affixes, not even that Tier 3 Ancient Giant Boar today. We have absolutely no idea what the trigger conditions for gold-level affixes are."

Wang Ce held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

"Hey! Brother Ce, there's a dead man here, an ancient one too!"

Huang Feipeng, who was walking in front, suddenly shouted. They were walking along the edge of the barrier. It was one thing for a pig to run into and die, but could a person also run into and die?
