"Max-Level Effect": Heavenly Dominion
Seven days later.
The year was early October of the 379th year of the "Eternal Night Calendar".
Chen Fan stood on the City Wall of "New Continent No. 1 Outpost" and looked at the Sea Ship coming and going on the sea in the distance, as well as the Mortal Domain Member were busy like ants on the shore and various Island.
The exploration of the New Continent is now on track.
One after another, High-Speed Rail loaded with Eerie Stone traveled from the New Continent to the Mortal Domain.
During this period.
King Mazi came back.
He also built three "Strategic-Class Flying Boat," but these three Flying Boat were less expensive to build, and instead of installing fully-level Godslayer Cannon in all the Cannon Tower positions, he only built a few low-level Godslayer Cannon.
The cost is relatively low.
Including the Eerie Stone stored inside the ship, the cost of building a "Flying Boat" is only 200,000 Eerie Stone.
He divided all members of the "Commerce Pavilion" into four groups and dispatched them to conduct a thorough search of all Ancient Battlefield and other Anomaly Point on the New Continent. In the past few days, he also made several trips to the New Continent, building two more Signal Tower at the edge of the existing Signal Tower area, further expanding the communication range. Everything was progressing smoothly and in an orderly manner.
And within those seven days.
The monkeys have already collected most of the Eerie Stone and Ghost Bone in front of the First Defense Line. Of course, this only applies to the area around "New Continent No. 1 Outpost". The First Defense Line is hundreds of kilometers long.
The defensive line, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, was piled high with Eerie Stone and Ghost Bone.
The time required to collect all the Eerie Stone and Ghost Bone within these Seven Defense Lines is measured in years.
More members outside the Mortal Domain.
They traveled back and forth between multiple Island at sea, transporting large quantities of Eerie Stone to Sea Ship, then back to "New Continent No. 1 Outpost," and finally back to the Mortal Domain via the "Undersea Tunnel."
The New Continent was originally quiet and uninhabited.
Because of the arrival of the Mortal Domain.
It gradually became lively.
It has become more human.
It's almost on the right track; he has to go back.
After standing there for a while, Chen Fan turned and walked down the City Wall toward the High-Speed Rail station. "Let's go, Shao Qiu, let's go home."
The Crippled Monkey stayed here.
Responsible for overall scheduling.
As the "chief person in charge of the mining of the New Continent," he needed to leave an absolutely Trusted Aide here. Crippled Monkey was his absolute Trusted Aide; he trusted Crippled Monkey just as Crippled Monkey trusted him.
He has three main tasks to complete when he goes back this time.
First.
It's already early October, and preparations are underway for the upcoming Rainy Season. If the Rainy Season arrives as scheduled, it will begin in early November in Jiangbei Rainy Season. Second.
There isn't enough manpower. Although he brought over a thousand Mortal Domain Auxiliary Personnel, it's far from enough; he needs more.
Third.
The single-track Undersea Tunnel is severely insufficient.
For the past few days, the Empty High-Speed Rail -Fully Loaded High-Speed Rail during the Daytime and then returning to the New Continent No. 1 Outpost empty at night, which has greatly affected the transportation speed. The Warehouse inside the New Continent No. 1 Outpost are almost overflowing.
He needs to build another line.
Fortunately, the Undersea Tunnel that Weiwei dug was quite wide, and when he came to lay the Copper Pipe, he planned to place them along the side, so it was entirely possible to lay another line inside the Tunnel.
No need to Weiwei to widen the Tunnel.
Soon.
After giving a few instructions to the Crippled Monkey, Chen Fan left the "New Continent No. 1 Outpost" and led Shao Qiu into the High-Speed Rail station, but did not take the High-Speed Rail that was about to depart fully loaded with passengers.
After the High-Speed Rail started moving.
I just got on a new High-Speed Rail.
The High-Speed Rail slowly started moving.
The speed is not fast.
As they drove forward along the Undersea Tunnel, Copper Pipe were rapidly laid on one side of the vehicle.
Laying Copper Pipe is simple; it only requires the combination of eyes and mind. Wherever his eyes see, he can lay a Copper Pipe with a thought. However, if the speed is too fast, his eyes can't keep up.
When laying Copper Pipe, the speed of High-Speed Rail will definitely be much slower.
So
During the period he was laying the new line, the High-Speed Rail Line was completely shut down to prevent subsequent High-Speed Rail from being rear-ended. The Undersea Tunnel will only be put back into operation after he has finished laying the new line.
Two days later.
For the past two days, Chen Fan has been laying Copper Pipe almost non-stop.
Time is money.
There is no time to lose.
Shao Qiu, who had been traveling on the High-Speed Rail, had been feeling extremely anxious and restless for the past few days. The Domain Lord was almost exhausted, and Shao Qiu, who was watching from the sidelines, felt incredibly uncomfortable. He wanted to help, but there was nothing he could do to help.
So he could only stay awake as well, even though he had nothing else to do, it was at least a gesture.
Otherwise, while the Domain Lord is working hard beside him, he's sleeping soundly on the High-Speed Rail. Forget about the position of Pavilion Master, he feels he might even lose his head.
Finally
After two days of working without sleep.
The High-Speed Rail began climbing the hill at a 90-degree vertical angle.
It slowly came to a stop on the ground.
The blinding sunlight made it hard for Chen Fan to open his eyes. Having not seen sunlight for a long time, Chen Fan frowned, raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sun, and looked around. They had arrived at the Mortal Domain Harbor on the Eternal Night Continent.
Finally... finally home.
And look behind you.
Inside the Undersea Tunnel.
The two lines were arranged neatly there.
After this, "transportation capacity" will be greatly improved, with one route transporting goods and another running empty, operating continuously around the clock. "That's great."
Looking at the two neat lines behind him in the deep well, Chen Fan felt much of his fatigue from the past few days dissipate, and he couldn't help but smile. To be honest, it looked quite Achievement.
Such a huge project.
He completed the project all by himself.
Only then did he carefully look around.
The surroundings felt somewhat unfamiliar.
The exit of the High-Speed Rail station at the Harbor was originally bare, but now it has been enclosed in a large hall, with the floor seven meters above the ceiling, and many green plants and other facilities. They are not very useful, but they look very vibrant and much more organized.
"Domain Lord."
Wang Kui, who had been waiting there with his men, hurriedly stepped forward.
"Um."
Chen Fan glanced at Wang Kui and nodded slightly, then said softly, "Notify the New Continent that the Undersea Tunnel can officially begin operation. I'm going to take a nap. If you need anything, contact me when I wake up."
"Clear."
He boarded the familiar Nine-Five Dragon Chariot and rode back to the Mortal Domain.
Arrive at No. 1 Camp.
He walked into his private Wooden Hut, lay down on the familiar bed, and almost immediately fell into a deep sleep. He was exhausted from this period of time.
He absolutely needs to get some sleep.
Even Old Wang came, he couldn't be stopped.
Chen Fan slept for a full Tianyi.
Around mid-morning on the second day.
Chen Fan, feeling refreshed, changed into a clean set of clothes and sat on the familiar Rocking Chair on the city City Wall of No. 1 Camp. He flipped through the Jade Slip in his hand while listening to Wang Kui's report.
Inside the Camp.
The Mortal Domain Member were constantly moving about busily.
The Mortal Domain is no longer the Mortal Domain that only had a dozen or so people. He has never even met many of its Mortal Domain Member before.
"Domain Lord."
Wang Kui stood to the side, holding Jade Slip, and reported, "Currently, the Mortal Domain Warehouse has a reserve of 51.32 million Eerie Stone. Our Eerie-Stone Reserves are preliminarily estimated to exceed the total Eerie Stone reserves of all forces in the Four Regions of Jiangbei."
"Of course, this doesn't include those reclusive Family; we don't yet know the approximate wealth of these Family."
"These days."
"The development of the Mortal Domain is proceeding as planned and anticipated by you, Domain Lord. Revenue from the 'High-Speed Rail' business has declined slightly, and revenue from the 'Silk Road' business is also decreasing daily."
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded slightly, showing little disappointment. He placed a Jade Slip he had finished reading aside and casually said without looking up, "There are only so many people in the Four Regions of Jiangbei who can afford a Skeleton Horse. Even if it costs 1,000 Eerie Stone per horse, they still can't afford it. The market is only so big."
"Once the food's almost gone, the profits will naturally decrease."
"And how come there are only over 50 million Eerie-Stone Reserves? It was almost 50 million a few days ago. Did the New Continent send over a lot of Eerie-Stone Reserves Eerie Stone these past few days?"
Wang Kui laughed, "Domain Lord, I specifically saved this for later, I wanted to give you a surprise."
"Over the past seven days, more than a dozen High-Speed Rail have been constantly traveling back and forth, delivering a total of 1.97 million Eerie Stone from the New Continent. These have already been stored and are not included in the total of 50 million Eerie Stone."
"Only"
"I wonder how many Eerie Stones are left to mine in the New Continent."
He was naturally happy.
Originally, the revenue from the two main businesses in the Mortal Domain was declining, but the opening of the New Continent brought in 2 million Eerie Stone in just seven days. Wouldn't that mean 8 million Eerie Stone in a month?
That's 90 million a year.
This is already an extremely large number.
How much is left?
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. He had never thought about this question before, and he didn't know how much was left. He only knew that the Eerie Stone mined in recent days were mostly from the vicinity of the First Defense Line of "New Continent No. 1 Outpost"Eerie Stone and from several nearby Island.
How much is left?
I don't know.
He only knew how much he had dug up.
Um.
I only dug up a little bit.
Even if there isn't a single Ancient Battlefield in the New Continent, the Eerie Stone along the seven hundred-kilometer-long defensive lines alone would be enough to overwhelm the Mortal Domain. Moreover, King Mazi has already discovered three Ancient Battlefield in the New Continent.
All we need now is manpower to dig it up.
We are short-staffed.
There is a shortage of vehicles.
Lack of time.
He needs enough Skeleton Horse and Flying Boat.
How many members does the Mortal Domain currently have?
Chen Fan did not answer the question, but instead inquired about it.
A total of 2,379 people.
Wang Kui hurriedly blurted out the report, "The Mortal Domain currently has a total of 2,379 members, including 471 formal members (including core members) and 1,908 non-formal members."
"Currently, 1268 of these non-staff members have been dispatched to the New Continent."
"Last month, the total monthly allowance for the Mortal Domain was 210,000 Eerie Stone."
He blurted it out almost without hesitation.
Upon learning that the Domain Lord would be returning soon, he had already memorized these key data thoroughly, so that he could immediately provide an answer when the Domain Lord asked.
There's no need to dig up last month's payout data.
"Um."
After frowning and pondering for a long time, Chen Fan finally spoke, "Can the remaining non-staff members still be mobilized?"
"It's impossible."
Wang Kui hesitated for a moment and said, "Most of these non-staff members and some of the formal members have been dispatched to be responsible for some Station, High-Speed Rail operations, and other work. After these members are transferred, those Station and such will be left unattended."
Chen Fan didn't speak, but remained silent for a while before continuing.
The Rainy Season is coming soon.
"A lot more people are going to die."
"Tell the outside world."
"Mortal Domain is recruiting a large number of non-official members, aiming for a scale of 50,000. Mortal Domain can offer is not only monthly salaries, but also protection during the Rainy Season."
"Fifty thousand people?"
Wang Kui stood there, stunned, unable to react for a long time. No other force in the entire Four Regions of Jiangbei had such a large scale. Their Mortal Domain, with more than two thousand people, was already the largest force in the Four Regions of Jiangbei.
Recruit another 50,000 people.
Although I know I shouldn't contradict my boss's orders.
But he still couldn't help but speak up.
"Domain Lord."
"We've recruited 50,000 new non-regular members. The monthly expenses for these 50,000 non-regular members alone will require one million Eerie Stone. If they are to be promoted to regular members, the monthly salary payments in the Mortal Domain will be under great pressure in the future."
"And they recruited 50,000 people during the Rainy Season."
Time is tight.
"There's no way to completely screen them out, no way to filter out pawns planted by other forces or people with ulterior motives. It's very likely that this will throw the entire Mortal Domain into chaos."
The Mortal Domain now has its own set of values.
This set of values drives the positive development of the Mortal Domain.
But so many people suddenly appeared.
It's not that the Mortal Domain is assimilating these people, but rather that these people are polluting the Mortal Domain, which could bring a crisis far greater than the monthly cash crisis.
People's hearts have fallen apart.
That makes the team harder to manage.
Sitting in the Rocking Chair, Chen Fan turned his head and looked at Wang Kui beside him calmly.
"These 50,000 people will all be dispatched to the New Continent to be responsible for the New Continent exploitation."
Special circumstances call for special measures.
"The New Continent is too big."
"We don't have enough manpower to explore the New Continent. We need more people. Until the New Continent is fully explored, they will be completely isolated from the world, and no one will be able to send messages out from there."
"Just."
"During this period, we need to thoroughly screen a group of people."
"Once the mining is complete, the remaining personnel will be able to use it effectively."
Wang Kui.
"The Strange Tide we'll face three years from now is the largest battle the Mortal Domain has ever faced. We can't possibly handle it all; we need more manpower."
"You and the Logistics Pavilion will handle this together. Recruit enough people before the Rainy Season and send them to the New Continent."
"Clear."
Wang Kui nodded seriously in agreement.
After Wang Kui stepped down...
Chen Fan looked towards the Sinkhole Camp outside the City Wall. His memory wasn't particularly bad; he clearly remembered that a few months ago, a Doppelganger Wraith had infiltrated the Mortal Domain with a forged ancient book. The book had a line of text written on it.
"At the end of the 382nd Year-End the Eternal Night Calendar, in Jiangbei, a relentless and Netherworld Strange Tide across the land, a sign of great misfortune."
He knew it the moment he saw those words.
There's Greater Wraith; they don't want him to stay in Jiangbei and want him to leave.
He didn't leave.
The other party cannot come to Jiangbei during the non- Rainy Season, but they will come when the Rainy Season arrives. Therefore, the reason he rushed back to Jiangbei in early Shiyue was to improve the defense of the "Mortal Domain".
The Rainy Season normally arrives in early November.
But no one knows if it will happen again sooner than expected.
I took a nap.
Feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Time to get to work.
The next moment
The City Wall beneath him suddenly began to slowly undulate, emerging from its roots and moving onto the Sinkhole Camp.
Immediately afterwards.
All City Wall were uniformly upgraded to level 7.
This isn't over yet.
At the end of this 21-meter-long City Wall, the phantom images of City Wall structures suddenly appeared one after another, and quickly solidified, stretching straight out of the Canyon towards the Nameless Mountain.
The Northbank Defense Line is 170 kilometers long.
However, to build a City Wall that completely encloses "Nameless Mountain," "Mortal City," "Sunset City," and "Mortal Domain Harbor," it would only take 10.8 kilometers.
He first wanted to build a 14.8-kilometer- City Wall to enclose the territory he had conquered and help it weather the Rainy Season.
Under the Legendary Qualitative Transformation effect of "The Great Wall," these City Wall can be seamlessly connected to the Northbank Defense Line in the future.
Amidst the horrified gazes of all the Mortal Domain Member.
One City Wall after another rapidly solidified, bursting out of the Canyon and sailing along the Coastline into the distance, with no end in sight.
148,000 Eerie Stone were thrown down.
A 14.8-kilometer-long Level-1 City Wall was completely solidified.
740,000 Eerie Stone were thrown down.
The City Wall of this defensive line have been upgraded to Level 2.
All City Wall now possess the same Qualitative Transformation effect. "All City Wall connected to this City Wall will gain the 'Thorn Counterarmor' effect, which, before reaching the City Wall's maximum withstand capacity, will reflect a small portion of the enemy's attack power back to the enemy (normal)."
With each upgrade, the appearance of the long, dragon-like City Wall in front of you will change dramatically, becoming taller and larger.
Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, calmly watching the scene before him.
My heart remained completely unmoved.
Continue.
Since then, 7.4 million Eerie Stone have been thrown down.
All the City Wall have reached level 3, and they have all chosen the "Wraith Blood Pattern".
The same eerie Vein Patterns covered all the City Wall, creating a spectacular sight at a glance.
Level-3 City Wall?
Not enough.
He didn't know the extent of the Greater Wraith's strength, but he was clear on one thing: it was better to overflow than to lose control.
Continue.
Another 14.8 million Eerie Stone were dropped.
All City Wall have reached Level 4.
Furthermore, all City Wall also possess the same Qualitative Transformation effect. "(Great Wall): All City Wall connected to this City Wall will be affected by this Qualitative Transformation effect, allowing the City Wall to move freely within the Camp area like a long dragon (Legendary)."
That's not enough.
Another 29.6 million Eerie Stone were dropped.
All City Wall have reached level 5.
This time!
He chose the third upgrade path for all the City Wall.
"3: Flight Ban. No creature can fly over the City Wall they are destroyed."
That concludes the discussion.
That finally brought it to a close.
Chen Fan looked at the City Wall in front of him, which was as tall as a dragon, 20 meters high and 14.8 kilometers long, and suddenly laughed. This was the foundation he had built up over the years.
This City Wall.
It will have a uniform upgrade path including "Thorn Counterarmor", "Wraith Blood Pattern", "Great Wall", and "Flight Ban".
Unfortunately, not many ancient books from the Primordial Era have survived.
Otherwise, he really wanted to see.
Throughout the entire history of the Eternal Night Continent, there has never been a single power that built such City Wall.
Level-5 City Wall are not enough.
Instead, all upgrades follow the same direction.
During the upgrade process, a total of seven "Qualitative Transformation upgrade directions" panels popped up. The probability of Qualitative Transformation upgrade direction appearing is extremely low, but the sheer number of them he created was overwhelming.
A large quantity will always lead to Qualitative Transformation.
After examining it for a while...
Destroy all the City Wall that pop up "Qualitative Transformation Upgrade Directions". The pop-up upgrade directions mean you can no longer choose the default upgrade direction, such as "Flight Ban".
For example, there is a direction of Qualitative Transformation.
"Qualitative Transformation (Backfeeding): Significantly reduces the defensive strength of the City Wall, but greatly increases the City Wall's recovery speed (Rare). All City Wall connected to this City Wall will be affected by this Qualitative Transformation effect."
The seven directions of Qualitative Transformation that emerged were all average.
He didn't like the result.
It was immediately destroyed and then rebuilt.
If it's a good "direction for Qualitative Transformation and upgrading," he would preserve that City Wall and rebuild City Wall at the gap.
The direction of Qualitative Transformation that he prefers.
He doesn't mind having more of these kinds of Qualitative Transformation paths that can be connected to all City Wall, such as "Thorn Counterarmor" or "Great Wall".
The more the better.
But
Aside from the Backfeeding, the other six upgrade paths can only be applied to one City Wall.
That's useless.
The only upgrade path that can be applied to all connected City Wall is, in fact, useless.
Standing on the City Wall, Chen Fan looked at the long, dragon-like City Wall before him, and a sense of Achievement welled up inside him, but it was quickly followed by heartache. This City Wall.
It consumed a total of 52.688 million of his Eerie Stone.
More than fifty million!
He enjoyed creating it.
The Warehouse of the Mortal Domain were almost emptied in an instant. The Warehouse that were originally full of Eerie Stone were now empty with only a thin layer of Eerie Stone left, totaling 600,000 Eerie Stone.
We can't even afford to pay monthly salaries anymore.
We haven't built Cannon Tower or other logistical support buildings yet; we have to wait for the Eerie Stone from the "New Continent" to arrive before we can continue building.
But then he couldn't help but laugh.
The ancient "Northbank Defense Line" had City Wall level of Level 4.
At this point, all of his City Wall were at level 5.
He eagerly awaited the arrival of the Rainy Season, anticipating that Greater Wraith expression on his face as he attacked, begging to be attacked, urging him to put in his best effort and not hold back.
And.
From this moment onward.
Full Airspace Ban has been declared over the Mortal Domain.
No Strange Entities or even Flying Boat can pass over the Mortal Domain.
Chen Fan turned and walked into the Camp to continue upgrading. Although he only had 600,000 Eerie Stone left, it was enough to upgrade some basic buildings. His next upgrade would be...
"Eerie Fire"
This building hasn't been upgraded in a long time.
The Legendary "Great Wall" Qualitative Transformation, while allowing the City Wall to move freely, only allows it to move within the Camp's area; therefore, the Camp's area needs to be expanded.
The "Main Eerie Fire" in the Camp is currently at level 5.
The Camp has a diameter of 1000 meters.
After consuming 500 Eerie Stone, the Eerie Fire was upgraded to level 6.
A panel pops up in front of you.
"The level of the Eerie Fire has been raised to level 6, Safe Zone has increased to a diameter of 2,000 meters, enhancing the deterrent effect against the Strange Entities."
Please select an upgrade direction.
1: Reduce the resource consumption of Cannon Tower within the Camp area.
2: Enhance the deterrent effect against Strange Entities.
3: Slightly reduce the ripening time of Crops.
Almost without the slightest hesitation.
Chen Fan then chose the first upgrade path.
What's there to consider?
Deterrence?
This thing is actually the most useless.
Outside of the Rainy Season, Strange Entities will not attempt to attack Eerie Fire, even if it's only a level 1 Strange Entities Level-1 Eerie Fire; in most cases, they won't rush in. But during the Rainy Season...
Even if you exert maximum deterrence, they'll still attack you.
Continue.
In fact, most White Grade buildings don't require much to upgrade. For example, upgrading the Eerie Fire from level 5 to level 6 only requires 500 Eerie Stone. Even though the City Wall require more, it's not particularly excessive.
It's just that he made them a little longer and made a little more.
No special Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to upgrade to level 6.
But you'll need it to reach level 7.
"Ps: Upgrading to level 7 requires 1000 Eerie Stone, as well as any one of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures: 'Eerie Grass' or 'Seven-Star Grass'." He immediately sent a telepathic message to Wang Kui, asking if there were any such rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures stored in the Warehouse.
Wang Kui answered yes.
Soon.
Then they saw Wang Kui running out of the Warehouse next door, carrying a box in his hands. Inside the box was a spirit herb with seven stars growing on its leaves.
"Good."
Chen Fan chuckled. It seemed that the plan for Mortal Domain to acquire Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures had been quite successful these past few days. Why did he acquire so many rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he didn't need for the time being?
This is the moment we've been waiting for.
When you need Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures upgrade a building, you can directly take them out of the warehouse instead of having to purchase them on the spot.
By the time you find it, the daylilies will be too cold, and it might not be possible to find them anytime soon.
Most importantly.
An emergency acquisition and a leisurely acquisition can have vastly different prices.
This kind of thing.
A leisurely acquisition might yield 2000 Eerie Stone.
But if it's an expedited purchase, the price is uncertain.
Moreover, any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will inevitably be used; it's just a matter of whether it's used sooner or later.
After 1,000 Eerie Stone and "Seven-Star Grass" were thrown down.
The Main Eerie Fire in the Camp has been successfully upgraded to level 7.
"The level of the Eerie Fire has been raised to level 7, Safe Zone has increased to a diameter of 3,000 meters, enhancing the deterrent effect against the Strange Entities."
Please select an upgrade direction.
"1: The Camp area has been increased to a diameter of 5000 meters."
2: Enhance the deterrent effect against Strange Entities.
3: Slightly reduce the ripening time of Crops.
"Ps: Upgrading to level 8 requires 3000 Eerie Stone, and one of the following Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures: 'Black-Soul Worm' or 'Dogflower'." So choose the first one.
With a diameter of 5,000 meters, the Main Eerie Fire of the Mortal Domain can now engulf the entire Nameless Mountain.
"Is there?"
Chen Fan turned his head to look at Wang Kui and listed a series of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Yes, yes.
Soon.
Wang Kui came out again with four boxes. One box contained a "Black-Soul Worm", another box contained a "Dogflower", and the remaining two boxes each contained a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
In addition to 3,000 Eerie Stone, upgrading the Eerie Fire to level 8 also requires any one of the seven Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Result
Of these seven Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, four were actually stored in the Mortal Domain's Warehouse.
This was the first time he had fought such a costly battle.
Just like when he was upgrading the Cannon Tower, they said there were many kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could be used for the upgrade, but he only had the "Mourning Lantern" and nothing else. For a moment, he was at a loss.
Which one should I use?
Which Warehouse has the largest stock of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?
"The Black-Soul Worm, this Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, has seven of them stored in the Warehouse. They were all sold by a Family in Jiangxi, and I bought them as a package for 10,000 Eerie Stones."
Wang Kui hurriedly reported to his superior.
The acquisition of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures requires evaluation. If the price exceeds a certain amount, it needs to be reported to the higher-ups. If it exceeds 10,000 Eerie Stones, it needs to be reported to him. If it exceeds fifty thousand Eerie Stone, it requires the Domain Lord's personal approval.
This is also to prevent Mortal Domain Member from colluding to inflate the acquisition price.
"Then we'll use this one."
Chen Fan took the box containing the Black Black-Soul Worm, took them out, and threw them into the Eerie Fire. They felt soft and squishy, like insects, but were actually a kind of grass.
It's somewhat like a larger version of cordyceps, thicker, darker, longer, and softer.
After throwing in 3000 Eerie Stone and Black-Soul Worm.
The Eerie Fire has successfully reached level 8.
"The level of the Eerie Fire has been raised to level 8, Safe Zone has increased to a diameter of 8,000 meters, enhancing the deterrent effect against the Strange Entities."
Please select an upgrade direction.
"1: The Camp area has been increased to a diameter of 10,000 meters."
2: Enhance the deterrent effect against Strange Entities.
3: Slightly reduce the ripening time of Crops.
"P. S.: Reaching level 9 requires 5,000 Eerie Stones and any two rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures such as 'Black-Soul Worm' and 'Dogflower'." "Still a bit lacking."
Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh. They'd already reached level 8, and now you're going to slightly reduce the ripening time of Crops? You could at least add a "significant" reduction; otherwise, he might need to reconsider.
He immediately chose the first one again.
The Camp's diameter reached 10,000 meters.
Actually, the area of this Camp is already sufficient.
After all, his 14.8-kilometer- City Wall is only 14,800 meters long, and the width of this Camp area is almost wider than his City Wall after it has been leveled.
But since the Eerie Fire has already been upgraded...
There also happened to be corresponding rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Why not just level up to the maximum level in one go?
As for the increased area of Eerie Fire, the daily consumption of Eerie Fire has increased from 1 to 500, but this consumption is not considered a significant expense for him.
The daily consumption by High-Speed Rail is already more than that.
That's perfectly acceptable.
Soon
After smashing down another 5,000 Eerie Stones and two Black-Soul Worm Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Another panel popped up in front of me.
"The level of the Eerie Fire has been raised to level 9, Safe Zone has increased to a diameter of 15,000 meters, enhancing the deterrent effect against the Strange Entities."
Please select an upgrade direction.
1: Reduce the resource consumption of Cannon Tower within the Camp area.
2: Enhance the deterrent effect against Strange Entities.
3: Slightly reduce the ripening time of Crops.
"Ps: Upgrading to level 10 requires 10,000 Eerie Stone, as well as any one of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures such as 'Sea Embryo' or 'Mountain Embryo'." He chose the first upgrade path.
The Camp's area has now reached a diameter of 15,000 meters.
This is already bigger than Northbank City.
The original eggshell has become a giant eggshell.
Looking in the direction of the upgrade, he curled his lip.
"Give me the Sea Embryo from the Warehouse."
Having already used so many rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, one more Sea Embryo won't make a difference. Let's also take a look at the Max-Level Effect of the Eerie Fire Beggar.
Soon.
After the Sea Embryo and 10,000 Eerie Stone were thrown in.
This Mortal Domain Main Eerie Fire has been upgraded to level 10.
And a face pops up in front of you.
"The Eerie Fire has reached level 10."
"Level reached maximum, cannot be upgraded further."
"Gain the Max-Level Effect 'Heavenly Dominion': Your Eerie Fire will draw energy from the darkness, requiring no Eerie Stone to maintain daily. When you have lit up Eerie Fire in all areas of a continent, you will receive the special reward 'Heavenly Dominion'."
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and grinned.
After the Eerie Fire reaches level 10, maintaining Eerie Fire requires 1000 Eerie Stone daily. Although he can afford it, it would be best to have it for free. Who wouldn't like a free ghost fire?
At the same time.
The Camp's area has reached a diameter of 20,000 meters.
As for...
He completely ignored the last sentence.
General Strange flames spread across the entire continent, illuminating every region?
Putting aside the fact that he needs to have the abilities of a great beggar, to achieve this level of skill and reach level 10 requires a "Sea Embryo Beggar," and the "Dead Sea" must be able to produce at least 1,800 poems per birth.
Only he could obtain such a rare Sea Embryo and create such a unique Eerie Fire.
What kind of reward could possibly cover such a Great Achievement?
He completely ignored that statement.
Anyway, attaching it now is pointless.
I'll consider taking this reward when I'm more capable in the future.
The Eerie Fire has been completed and upgraded to level 10.
The 14.8-kilometer-long beggar City Wall began to move rapidly across the Wasteland, eventually enveloping the entire Nameless Mountain and even "Mortal City," "Sunset City," and "Harbor."
This formed a massive beggar's City Wall.
Each section of the City Wall is 20 meters high.
The Trade Association of Mortal City were already standing at the city gate, looking at the scene of beggars in the wilderness, dumbfounded. More and more beggars, having received the news, came out of Mortal City.
Chen Fan did not hide it from them.
In fact.
This isn't Undersea Tunnel.
Such a massive project is indeed difficult to keep secret from everyone.
Young Valley Lord Qi Feng of Medicine King Valley, stood at the gate of Mortal City, his face full of beggar's resignation as he gazed into the distance at the Generals City Wall that encompassed a large area of Jiangbei Wasteland.
That City Wall must have been at least level four or five.
He had never seen such a tall City Wall.
He knew the Rainy Season was coming soon.
All factions are preparing for the Rainy Season.
He could understand that the Mortal Domain was also preparing for the Rainy Season; that was normal. But weren't your preparations a bit excessive?
This doesn't look like something you'd do to protect yourself from the Rainy Season!
The way you're acting is like you're about to provide direct support to the beggars on the Frontline!
He had vaguely heard it before.
