"Forest Castle!"

Vidal blurted out a single word, saying, "This city originates from the power of the Woods-Woods Fruit; I feel there is no word more fitting than 'Forest'."

"As for the name of this lake," he pondered for a moment under the grateful gazes of over two hundred people, and then said softly.

Let's call it Apis Divine Lake.

"Apis" Cobra didn't quite understand the word, but he soon did.

Vidal slammed his palms together in front of him and shouted, "Apis Divine Bull!"

[Bang--]

The next moment, thick trees burst forth from the lakebed, then rapidly converged on the surface, forming a bull with a pair of sharp horns.

Moreover, the moment it took shape, its entire body seemed to be attracting the sunlight from the sky, and a hazy, faint green light emanated from its body.

"So this is Apis!" Igaram exclaimed. "It truly is a magnificent bull, perfectly suited to be the symbol of Forest City!"

Neisesi nodded in agreement, but he secretly preferred a statue of the Jackal God, since the Jackal God was one of the guardian deities of Alabasta.

Now that the lake is finished, the office building on the other side is even simpler. Vidal flew back to Nacil and the others, and walked step by step toward the 'fish eye' on this side.

Yi Xiao and the others didn't understand what a 'yin-yang fish' was, so they didn't see the deeper meaning behind his movements. Instead, they were more curious about what kind of building it was.

First, the building can't be too tall; five floors is the limit. It just needs to be a little taller than the 'Apis Divine Bull' across the street.

But the area can't be small. Vidal plans to use the entire 'fish head' here as the ground floor of the building, which is equivalent to half the size of a football field.

With his palms slammed onto the smooth, warm ground, Vidal roared, "Appear, Forest Tower!"

[Bang! Bang! Bang!]

One by one, bare wooden beams rose from the ground, forming an inner pillar, front eaves pillar, rear eaves pillar, horizontal arch, pedestal arch, lintel arch, lintel beam, and roof all in one continuous process.

In less than ten minutes, a five-story wooden building with four doors in the east, west, south, and north stood before everyone, echoing the bull diagonally opposite.

"Not bad." Vidal clapped his hands and walked over, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

He added many lifelike reliefs to the surface of the building, depicting all the trees, vegetation, and flowers he could imagine.

So looking up from downstairs, a 'forest' comes into view, which does live up to the name 'Forest Tower'.

Pushing open the door and stepping inside, you enter a large hall with a reception desk in the center and stairs leading to the upper floors.

Apart from the first floor, each floor of this 'Forest Tower' has a spacious conference room, equipped with a conference table and chairs.

In addition, there are twenty rooms of varying sizes on each floor. He doesn't care what they are used for; he'll let them decide for themselves.

Moreover, some umbrella-shaped trees that protect against wind and sand have grown on the roof of this 'Forest Tower,' allowing people to stand on them and enjoy the panoramic view of the city.

As a result, Vidal's work in the main urban area was reduced to simply encouraging the growth of trees to stabilize the sand and prevent wind erosion along the main roads.

But this will have to wait until Yixiao moves the sand layer away.

For the rest of the day, Yixiao was busy from morning till afternoon, cleaning up the "football field" in the air.

When I got tired, I got off to drink some water and eat a few of the 'special Green Beans ' that Vidal kindly offered me.

Then fly back up and continue working!

During this process, the people below couldn't help much; they could only look up at him working while their heads were exposed to the sun. Eventually Cobra and his men got used to the sand flying overhead every now and then.

They used to regard it as a miracle, but it has to be said that the adaptability of humans is truly terrifying.

"Someone's coming!"

While everyone was idly chatting and drinking juice under the shade of the trees on the Forest Tower, Vidal suddenly spoke up to remind them.

Soon, Cobra, Brook, Nacil and the others saw a long camel caravan approaching in the distance, with an estimated number of hundreds of camels.

"Captain Queen is here!" Neisesi suddenly laughed.

"Captain Queen?" Brook looked over with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is she the captain of the Royal Guard? She sounds like a woman?"

"Captain Queen is a woman, but she's stronger than me."

Neisesi shook his head and sighed, "She is not only the inheritor of the Falcon Type of the Bird-Bird Fruit, but she also Awakening Observation Haki several years ago, and her Armament Haki is also very strong."

"Yes, Captain Queen can be said to be the strongest guardian in Alabasta right now!" Igaram said proudly.

"However, she usually stays by the king's side; I didn't expect her to personally lead the delegation this time."

Prince Cobra looked at Vidal beside him and said, "I think this is because Father King sent Captain Queen here specifically to show his respect for you."

"Please convey my gratitude to King Mamuxi when you return," Vidal said with a friendly smile.

Speaking of which, the names of the Alabasta king and prince are quite interesting; Cobra's name comes from the word "cobra."

The name of this eleventh king comes from the horned serpent, which is strange since they are both snakes.

However, since Queen had come, they naturally had to go down to greet her, and soon they saw the female general walking towards them.

Captain Queen's attire was somewhat similar to Neisesi's, both wearing loose-fitting long robes with a half-length overcoat, though Quinn's was primarily white.

And she's very beautiful, Vidal thought to himself.

I don't know how she maintains her appearance. Living in this desert country, her skin is as fair and delicate as Nacil's. You can't tell much about her figure, but her exposed abdomen is very flat.

The most striking feature of Queen was his sharp, hawk-like eyes and the large crossbow hanging at his waist.

Upon first seeing Prince Cobra, she quickly dismounted from her hunchback, strode over to him, and knelt on one knee.

"Prince!"

"Get up, get up!" Prince Cobra quickly helped Quinn up, and after Queen stood up, he pointed to Vidal beside him.

"This is Colonel Vidal from the Marine Headquarters. He has created a new oasis for our Alabasta Kingdom!"

Queen also saw the shimmering lake in the distance and the five-story wooden building in front of him, and immediately expressed his sincere gratitude to Vidal.

Before Vidal could say anything, she took out two yellow envelopes from her bosom and handed one of them over.

"Colonel Vidal, this is a letter the King instructed me to personally deliver to you."

"Okay, thank you." Vidal took the warm envelope, opened it on the spot, and took out the letter inside.

The content was pretty much as he had expected: first, a heartfelt thank you, and then the most important part, the main text.

First, the king announced that he would give Forrest Vidal a hundred acres of land across the lake as his private family estate.

As long as the Forest family has descendants, this land will forever belong to the Forest family, and even the Royal Army can only enter with the King's personal order.

In other words, all the land behind that 'Apis Divine Bull' now belongs to Vidal!

He can plant whatever he wants in there, build whatever he wants, as long as you don't do anything to harm the kingdom, then you can do whatever you want.

Meanwhile, regarding the century-long payment issue for the new city, the king agreed to Vidal's offer of one billion Beli per year.

Vidal wasn't surprised by this, since he had said he wouldn't withdraw the money immediately and it would remain in Alabasta for the time being.

Finally, he was granted the status and title of an honorary member of the Alabasta royal family, a royal family without the right of succession.

Hmm, so he's Cobra's now?

"Congratulations, Colonel Vidal!" Prince Cobra said, feigning delight, but Vidal put away the letter and said with a sneer.

"What Colonel? Call me 'brother'! I'm older than you!"

Book Title: The Strongest CSGO System

Genre: Well, you can probably guess from the title, right? It's a story about going on an adventure in another world with modern firearms from CS: GO! Hey, the opponent pulls out a big sword and charges at you with wild swordsmanship, but the protagonist pulls the trigger and takes him down with one shot!

However, judging from his introduction, it doesn't seem that simple. He actually said that Hou Yi could shoot down the sun with a bow and arrow, and he could shoot down the sun with a desert eagle. That's pretty impressive!

Finally, I sincerely ask everyone for a book synopsis once again. Those who are interested should have noticed that I have revised the synopsis several times, but I am never quite satisfied with it. I hope some expert can lend me a hand!

I believe everyone who has read this far has a general understanding of the book's content. Thank you!
