Resurrection Stone Tablet

Lin Mo, standing at the entrance of the Lord's Mansion, was rapidly calculating in his mind.

Although Wild Wolf Valley had been secured, there were currently no facilities. It wasn't wise to have six hundred people spend the night outdoors.

Black Wind Stronghold, with its complete facilities and ample food, was the best choice for staying the night.

"Lin Yi, make the arrangements," Lin Mo said.

"Properly settle all seriously wounded personnel within the Lord's Mansion and assign dedicated individuals to care for them in shifts. With our current Constitution, as long as the wounds are treated properly, they can recover in a few days with rest."

He paused.

"Additionally, select fifty healthy brothers to remain in the new territory to be responsible for guarding and looking after the seriously wounded. The rest will clean up the battlefield, bring back all valuable spoils, and we will return to Black Wind Stronghold before nightfall!"

"Return to Black Wind Stronghold?" Lin Yi was a little surprised. "Lord, aren't we going to strike while the iron is hot and build the new territory overnight?"

"No rush," Lin Mo shook his head. "Dragon Perch Valley has just been cleared, there's nothing here. If we stay here overnight, the brothers will have to sleep in the open. Black Wind Stronghold has existing houses, beds, hot meals, and hot dishes. Why suffer here?"

He looked at the darkening sky in the distance. "Besides, after the fierce battle today, everyone is tired. We'll go back, get a good rest, and come back tomorrow to officially begin building the territory."

Lin Yi suddenly understood. "Lord, you always consider everything so thoroughly!"

Lin Mo nodded slightly, and at the same time, a thought moved. Through the consciousness link, he contacted Lin Shi, who was staying behind at Black Wind Stronghold.

"Lin Shi, notify the stronghold to prepare dinner. We have over five hundred people and will be returning in about an hour. Have the kitchen prepare extra meat dishes; the brothers have worked hard today."

"Understood!" Lin Shi's response came immediately. "I'll arrange it right away! I guarantee that Lord and the brothers will have hot meals when they return!"

After making the arrangements, Lin Mo turned and walked into the Lord's Mansion, heading first to the underground secret chamber.

The stone tablet was entirely black, made of a material neither stone nor jade, with a faint silver halo flowing across its surface. A complex rune was carved on the front of the tablet. Although Lin Mo didn't recognize it, the moment his gaze fell upon the rune, he understood its meaning—"Life."

[Item: Resurrection Stone Tablet (One-time)]
[Type: Territory Special Building]
[Effect: The Lord can entrust a trace of their soul within the stone tablet. When the Lord's physical body dies in the real world, the stone tablet will automatically guide the soul into the game world and consume territory resources to condense a new true body governed by law.]
[Note: Exclusive protection for a Legendary Lord, a safeguard for a second life. Please protect the stone tablet properly. If the stone tablet is destroyed, this function will be permanently disabled.]

Lin Mo took a deep breath and, following the system prompts, placed his palm on the stone tablet. A cold sensation spread through him, followed by a faint feeling of detachment, as if something formless was flowing out of his body and merging into the stone tablet. The entire process lasted about ten seconds. When the feeling of detachment disappeared, the silver halo on the stone tablet's surface brightened slightly.

[Soul Entrustment Successful]
[Resurrection Function Activated]
[Current Revivals Available: 1]

Lin Mo withdrew his hand, feeling much more at ease. With this safeguard, even if he died accidentally in the real world, he could still be resurrected in this true game world.

Returning to the ground from the secret chamber, Lin Mo stood at the entrance of the Lord's Mansion and began planning the construction. With over six hundred clones, the troop strength was sufficient, and there was no immediate need to build military structures like the Barracks. The priority was basic production and population growth.

He brought up the construction panel and activated the "Infrastructure Maniac" exclusive skill, simultaneously selecting three construction tasks:

[Construction Order: Civilian Camp x1, Lumber Mill x1, Quarry x1]
[Total Cost: 500 Wood, 300 Stone]
[Construction Time: Civilian Camp 1.4 Shichen, Lumber Mill 0.7 Shichen, Quarry 0.7 Shichen (with Infrastructure Maniac +30% and Legendary Lord +50% construction speed bonus)]

After selecting the locations, the three construction sites lit up with golden light simultaneously. Materials automatically flew to the designated spots, and rapid automatic construction began.

"This is the speed of a Legendary Lord!" Lin Er watched, dumbfounded.

"Building three at once, and so fast!" Lin Wu murmured.

Lin Mo watched the scene with satisfaction. With the dual boost from "Infrastructure Maniac" and the Legendary Lord bonus, the construction efficiency far exceeded ordinary imagination.

"Stop gawking, everyone!" Lin Yi was the first to snap back to reality and shouted, "Have the wolf carcasses been dealt with? Get back to your tasks! Hurry up!"

The clones then seemed to awaken from a daze, shrinking their necks and quickly returning to their cleanup work.

"Lin Yi." he said.

"Here!" Lin Yi strode forward.

"From today onward, the territory's official name is 'Dragon Perch Valley'," Lin Mo said.

"Organize the clones and sort them into categories. Those willing to engage in combat will be integrated into the combat sequence, and those willing to engage in production will be integrated into the production sequence."

"Understood!" Lin Yi accepted the order, but then hesitated. "Lord, what about... us, the first batch of 'old brothers'? Are there any special considerations for us?"

Lin Mo looked at him with a half-smile. "What, you want privileges?"

"No, no, of course not!" Lin Yi quickly waved his hands. "It's just... you see, we were the first to follow you through thick and thin. Even if we don't have merit, we certainly have effort..."

"Enough." Lin Mo waved his hand.

"How about this: all those who participated in the early battles at Water Curtain Cave will be considered 'Veterans' and their treatment will be raised by one level. In the future, as the territory becomes more formalized, Veterans will have priority in assuming all levels of positions."
