Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 193 I, Li Xia, will pay you!

"Mr. Li!"

Wearing a white hard hat, Vice President Tu jogged over, his chubby cheeks swaying and his body slightly leaning forward.

All of this fully demonstrates his respect for Li Xia, the "true god of the civil engineering industry," the "pioneer of advance full payment," the "leader of construction period bonuses," and the wealthy tycoon who doesn't care about money that isn't his own.

"Mr. Li, would you like to come and check on the progress?"

Vice President Tu nodded with one hand behind his back, and immediately a beautiful woman in a bodycon skirt, black stockings, and a white safety helmet handed him a golden safety helmet.

A white hat is no longer enough to show Mr. Li's special status; it must be gold!

He eagerly handed over the helmet, which looked truly gilded:

"I'll show you around and also give you an update on the progress."

Li Xia stared at the golden helmet he handed her, which gleamed in the sunlight and was dazzling enough to blind anyone, and fell silent.

Who is Vice President Tu?

They were genuine civil engineers who rose from humble beginnings as young people who dared to sign contracts, and who had spent countless years in foot massage parlors and shopping malls.

He immediately said:

"Mr. Li, this is a souvenir specially customized by our company. It's a small token of our appreciation for customers like you."

Li Xia placed the gold safety helmet on Heitan's head, looked around, and concluded that the woman in the bodycon skirt and black stockings didn't look like someone who was seriously doing work.

Take the helmet from her and put it on your head:
"Let's go."

“Alright—!”

Vice President Tu was beaming and full of energy; it was clear that he had gained a great deal from this project.

The two avoided the large equipment, and a large group of people immediately followed behind them.

The girl in the bodycon skirt looked curiously at the charcoal-colored man wearing a golden helmet who was following behind Li Xia.

Although not as large as a human, Hei Tan is definitely a big cat.

This cat is really interesting. The woman in the pencil skirt stared at the curious, charcoal-colored cat, finding it incredibly cute.

The key is that it doesn't run around, it follows along, it's well-behaved and sensible!
I really want one!

I wonder if using the new position tonight will allow Mr. Tu to give me one too.

This is the kind of cat that even the rich keep; posting it on social media would definitely make you look good!
"Because you require everything to be done according to the schedule and to be fast, we have made extensive use of prefabricated components and brought out all our best-kept technologies."

Vice President Tu said firmly:

"I dare to make this promise! We'll finish the main construction in one month! And then move on to the interior decoration phase—that part will be even faster!"

Prefabricated components not only save time, but more importantly, they save costs. Although Vice President Tu didn't know why Li Xia only cared about speed and didn't consider anything else.

This is an island; can we really use prefabricated components everywhere?

Hopefully a typhoon will come along. Sigh.
Li Xia nodded slightly. "Good that it's fast. According to publicly available information, the restrictions on apostles in reality will increase as time goes on."

This restriction does not come from the hall, but from the hierarchy.

High-ranking apostles are beings similar to those in higher dimensions, which cannot be accommodated in a 0th-order world like ours, which is completely devoid of any extraordinary beings.

Therefore, starting from the fourth level, the temple will begin to define the area for the apostles and reinforce the area where the apostles are located.

The reinforcement becomes stronger as it progresses, but the area affected becomes smaller.

I heard that those level eight or nine big shots are like prisoners, and when they return to reality, they can only move around within a few hundred square meters of the reinforced hall.

This reinforcement is not simply about reinforcing the space itself, but rather akin to temporarily elevating the attributes of the entire area.

Therefore, Li Xia has no worries about the prefabricated components. With the reinforcement of the hall, it can only be said to be as solid as a rock!
"This is the practice area you requested. It has only been leveled, and the terrazzo is being delivered."

The square in front of us is quite large, about the size of two basketball courts. It's mainly used for morning stance training and boxing.

With my current strength, I could probably flatten the surrounding area with just a little effort. "Behind the main residential area is the planting area, and next to the residential area is a vertical garden. Putting everything else aside, this planting area is absolutely top-notch technology in the country!"

Soilless cultivation and integrated farming are child's play!

Vice President Tu patted his chest and said proudly:

"Don't be fooled by that Youzi's boasting, about how he invented cutting-edge planting technology because of his small land and water shortage. When it comes to farming, we Chinese are the ancestors!"
"I've never been afraid of anyone!"

Li Xia nodded. The efficiency was indeed undeniable, and the design was very reasonable.

"Look there—"

Vice President Tu pointed to the straight passageway not far away: "It's a simple running track. Although it's simple, we definitely built it according to the standard of simplicity without being simplistic."

It can accommodate over 99% of the world's private jets!

private plane?

Li Xia clicked his tongue. He did have one, a gift from Bulma, specially customized, but he hadn't had a chance to use it yet.

"Do you have any further requests or comments? We'll implement them immediately!"

After thinking for a while, the professional designer almost perfectly turned his opinion into reality; there really wasn't any other opinion.

"So, we'll create a two-story space next to the main building, without dividing it into two floors. Its main purpose will be—"

Li Xia glanced at the black-clad man wearing a golden helmet who was following behind him:

"A cat's paradise! I only want the best. You can add any design that the designer can think of that cats like."

After saying that, he took out his phone from his personal space, and as soon as the signal was connected, a message from the Saints Organization's daily greeting popped up.

He simply dialed back:
"I'm Li Xia, send the money!"

The snow on the cliffs remained the same as it had been half a month ago, and even the wild plum tree that was leaning against the ice crevice still had three withered flowers hanging from its broken branches.

However, a cold spring appears at the top of the cliff.

Unexpectedly, the upgraded Eight-Nine Arcane Arts cultivation method was also quite different from before.

Li Xia sat cross-legged in the icy, bone-chilling spring water, which was so cold it seemed capable of freezing one's soul.

Each breath carries away tiny ice crystals, which condense into frosty patterns on the eyebrows and eyelashes.

The vital energy circulated within the body, resisting the chill with all its might.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill makes one impervious to water and fire, and unharmed by weapons. Once mastered, one can roam freely in the world.

Even if it's just the guiding chapter, it guides true qi into the body to change its attributes and gradually improves the body's endurance.

They must also undergo the trials of water and fire.

Time passed little by little, and the true qi gradually boiled. Gradually, the coldness of the cold spring stimulated the body.

It turned into wisps of white smoke, swirling around Li Xia as if he were floating in the clouds.

The world outside is calm and serene, and the years in the mountains are long.

Li Xia slowly opened his eyes, and the thick ice shell on his body cracked open with a series of lines.

It fell into the cold spring, splashing up ripples.

[This training session has concluded; effectiveness evaluation: Excellent]

[Proficiency in the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts increased by 35%]
