"Chen Fan of the Jiangbei Mortal Domain... ranked first."
"Domain Lord."
Standing on the defensive line, gazing towards the Seaside, Chen Fan heard Little Qiu's voice through the Message Talisman in his arms. "Old Wang has received orders to proceed to the Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line to prepare for his new post."
"Good."
Chen Fan responded with a nod, indicating that he understood.
After discussion, it was decided that Old Wang would be in charge of the "Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line".
That is, the one who made Wang Kui the Wang Family Head for 13 years.
This person.
It was Wang Kui who recommended him. According to Wang Kui, he had been secretly observing the Wang Family Head these days. This person has good management skills and has Station very well. Although it is said that it is easier to do things with the backing of the Mortal Domain, it can also explain something.
After considering all the options, appointing him as the head of the defense line was the perfect choice.
After thinking for a while, he decided to let Old Wang give it a try first.
The Mortal Domain is currently facing a severe shortage of talent.
Let's put them on the defensive line first to train them and see if they can handle it.
Zhang Qiuba, the former Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line Commander, still needs some training and at least needs to have some understanding of the situation in the Mortal Domain.
"Black Tortoise Cannon..."
With a wave of his hand, he commissioned the construction of five more "Black Tortoise Cannon" along the 170-kilometer-long Northbank Defense Line, costing 25 million Eerie Stone.
Speak seriously.
The Black Tortoise Cannon's power was actually quite good, and he hadn't seen any other Blue Grade Defensive Structure, but he felt that the Black Tortoise Cannon's power would definitely be less than other Defensive Structure of the same grade.
The main issue is that the Max-Level Effect of the Black Tortoise Cannon is essentially zero.
This means you're missing out on a Max-Level Effect for no reason.
The Max-Level Effect is that after collecting Four Divine Cannons, you will possess a Heavenly Dao Cannon.
Heavenly Dao Cannon...
Just hearing its name tells you how powerful it is; this should be the ultimate destiny of the Black Tortoise Cannon.
The rain fell steadily from the sky.
The Rainy Season has arrived in the new year.
A cold wind, carrying the smell of the sea, blew up the City Wall, and my hands, which were holding Jadeite Staff, felt slightly cold.
I need to find some time to cultivate in the Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion...
F
Chen Fan glanced at the War Pavilion Members who were busy working shirtless on the City Wall and muttered to himself, "At least there's one advantage to Cultivation: I'm not so afraid of the cold anymore."
He's been too busy these past few years.
He rarely has time to cultivate, and his current Cultivation is still only Level-Three Cultivator, which is insignificant in the entire Eternal Night Continent.
He finally had some time, and he wanted to rest; it was truly a rare opportunity for him to cultivate.
If only someone could cultivate for him.
The main problem is that it's not cost-effective.
If he were to cultivate to a certain Cultivation, he could split mountains and rivers with a single sword strike, and he would definitely be more eager to cultivate than anyone else. However, in this world, Cultivator are not the main focus, and even if he cultivates to the teens, he still cannot withstand the Strange Tide.
The heartland of the Eternal Night Continent.
A City belonging to the Eternal Night Hall.
"Alright, it's time to go."
The drunken, stubble-faced Elderly Man got up, swaying as he looked at Qiu Yisi: "We've been drinking until dawn, it's time to go."
No need to see me out.
Qiu Yisi; his eyes were barely open, and his face was flushed. "But I have to say, isn't it a bit unfair of you to dump so many people on the Mortal Domain without providing any supplies?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The Elderly Man's somewhat embarrassed gaze darted around. "Doesn't Domain Lord Chen want people? We can't just give them to the two responsible persons, so what about the others? Are they just to be dismissed on the spot?"
"These are all experienced individuals; they'll definitely be a help to the Mortal Domain."
"If we really can't afford to keep them... then we'll just have to disband them."
"Alright, alright, go ahead."
Qiu Yisi without saying anything more, only waving his hand in a daze. The Elderly Man waved his hand back and stumbled towards the door.
Not long after the Elderly Man left.
The smell of alcohol on Qiu Yisi's face instantly dissipated, his eyes became exceptionally clear, showing no signs of drunkenness whatsoever, and he stared at the Jade Slip in his hand with a furrowed brow.
And at this time -
Tianyi also emerged from behind the screen.
"Master."
"Um.
Qiu Yisi nodded slightly, perhaps knowing what Tianyi was thinking, and waved the Jade Slip in his hand. "This guy has come to make a statement to us, to tell us that he is not a traitor."
"The Strategy Hall of the Eternal Night Hall should hold a higher position than the Action Group, so why would he express his opinion to us?"
"It has nothing to do with status."
Qiu Yisi shook his head. "He just wanted to tell us that he was Trust, so that if we didn't Trust him, some information wouldn't reach him in time, which would affect the situation on the Frontline."
"Is that Master Trust?"
"Worth."
Qiu Yisi got up, walked to the window, and sighed softly, "If even he can't be Trust, then the Eternal Night Continent truly has no future."
Then, laughing, he tossed a Token into Tianyi's arms.
"Identity Token of the deputy Group Leader of the Eternal Night Hall Western Operations Group."
"Got it."
"One, two, three..."
Jiangbei Mortal Domain.
Chen Fan was staying on the Back Mountain the Nameless Mountain, looking at the number of Max-Level Building on the Endless Night Lord Panel Depths of the Soul. There were now nineteen Max-Level Building in the Mortal Domain.
There were originally only fourteen.
However, he later obtained a lot of lower-grade White Grade Building Blueprint from the defense line and the Frontline, which were not available in the Mortal Domain. After upgrading these lower-grade buildings to the maximum level, he had nineteen Max-Level Building.
They are all ordinary buildings.
It won't have much of an impact on the Mortal Domain.
He looked at the White Grade Building Blueprint in his hand. If he could upgrade this building to its maximum level, the Mortal Domain would possess 20...
With a Max-Level Building, you can get that reward again.
"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Brick Kiln.
"Exotic Treasure Grade": White.
"Exotic Treasure Effect": Can be used to make bricks.
It only requires 100 Eerie Stone and one "Giant Strange Entity".
Yes.
It was the vehicle that appeared when the Vehicle Workshop was upgraded to level 8. This was the most outrageous crafting requirement he had ever seen. A White Grade building actually required a "Giant Strange Entity".
It means that you can't build this Brick Kiln until your Vehicle Workshop reaches level 8.
The next moment -
A panel pops up in front of you.
One Brick Kiln was upgraded to Level 2.
"This building has no upgrade options."
"Each upgrade produces bricks that are more solid."
He placed the "Brick Kiln" Behind Nameless Mountain.
It occupies a large area.
It covers an area of several thousand square meters, much larger than the Vehicle Workshop.
Soon, as the "Brick Kiln" composed of countless lines gradually took shape and quickly solidified, a huge "Brick Kiln" was located Behind Nameless Mountain.
Located next to the base for handling Strange Entities.
After upgrading the Brick Kiln to its maximum level in one go.
He looked at the panel of the "Brick Kiln" and laughed.
Brick Kiln.
As the name suggests, it is a building that can produce bricks.
And he finally understood why this building had the "Giant Strange Entity" restriction.
A level 10 Brick Kiln produces bricks with the defensive strength of Level-1 City Wall, which is indeed somewhat abnormal, far exceeding the effect of a White Grade building.
"This effect is quite good."
Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction. The Mortal Domain has its own "Brick Kiln". For example, the large bricks transported to the Mortal Domain Yellow Springs Mouth Defense Line were hand-made by the Mortal Domain itself.
However, bricks made by hand are definitely not as good as those from Brick Kiln, whether in terms of uniformity, efficiency, or durability.
The Mortal Domain currently has a considerable population.
There is an urgent need for a house that can accommodate many people, and this thing can solve this need in the Mortal Domain.
"The Brick Kiln has been upgraded to level 10."
"Level reached maximum, cannot be upgraded further."
"Achieve Max-Level Effect: Major Infrastructure Development": Buildings constructed with bricks resonate with the Earth's Core's core, possessing extremely strong resistance to wind and earthquakes.
An extremely simple yet effective Max-Level Effect.
While achieving this effect.
A panel popped up in front of him.
"You have successfully upgraded the 'Building Brick Kiln' to the maximum level, gaining the Max-Level Effect (Major Infrastructure Development)."
The (Brick Kiln) illustration has been highlighted.
"Twenty Max-Level Building, and a Blue Grade Resource Lucky Bag has been obtained."
"Lighting up fifty Max-Level Building will grant you even more valuable rewards."
"Forehead..."
Is it still Blue Grade?
Chen Fan was slightly disappointed. He had thought it would be a higher grade, but unlike the Lucky Bag he had obtained before, this Lucky Bag was Blue Grade Resource Lucky Bag.
I
"Lucky Bag": Upon opening, there is a 50% chance of obtaining 100 million Eerie Stone, a 30% chance of obtaining 500 million Eerie Stone, and a 10% chance of obtaining...
There is a chance to obtain 1 billion Eerie Stone, a 9.5% chance to obtain 2 billion Eerie Stone, and a 0.5% chance to obtain 3 billion Eerie Stone plus a Blue Grade Resource Lucky Bag.
He didn't even wait for that Exotic Treasure, the Fortune Whistle.
The rare Exotic Treasure, the Fortune Whistle, is even harder to collect than the Heavenly Dao Stone.
He casually untied the blue string from the Resource Lucky Bag.
The next moment.
The air seemed to freeze.
Then countless Eerie Stone suddenly appeared in the air, like a meteor shower suspended in mid-air, before crashing to the ground amidst the rain.
Chen Fan stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the Lucky Bag he had pulled out of his own. Was he really that lucky?
He got it randomly even with a 0.5% probability?
Hundreds of thousands of High-Grade Eerie Stone fell from the sky!
This is equivalent to 3 billion Eerie Stone.
They also gave me a Resource Lucky Bag.
"How about we try again?"
Somewhat tentatively, he opened the Resource Lucky Bag in his hand again, and then hundreds of thousands of High-Grade Eerie Stone appeared in the air again, another 3 billion Eerie Stone!
He now has another Resource Lucky Bag in his hand.
"Depend on!"
Chen Fan clearly realized at this point that this wasn't luck. No matter how lucky he was, it was impossible for him to encounter a 0.5% probability twice in a row; this was probably a bug.
Try again.
He opened the Resource Lucky Bag in his hand again.
Hundreds of thousands of High-Grade Eerie Stone reappeared in the air, and he now had another Resource Lucky Bag in his hand.
Only.
Unseen by him, the Gold Grade aura surrounding him diminished with each opening of the Lucky Bag.
And this Gold Grade aura was precisely the Gold Grade aura mixed within the emerald rain pillar above Chen Fan's head when Heavenly Dao's Blessing last year.
Chen Fan remained silent, expressionless, looking at the Resource Lucky Bag in his hand. He had opened it three times already, and had now obtained 9 billion Eerie Stone, plus another Resource Lucky Bag in his hand.
He didn't dare drive it again.
He roughly figured out what was going on.
Even with the best of luck, it's impossible for him to encounter a 0.5% probability three times in a row.
The probability is too low.
It's impossible to exploit a bug.
If he's not mistaken, it must be the Emerald Rain from last year.
He was puzzled at the time, wondering why his Emerald Rain was so powerful, yet its effects seemed no different from others, all of which eliminated hidden ailments and extended lifespan.
Now it seems...
There should be some additional effect, but he's unaware of it, and that additional effect is increasing his luck.
It's not time-limited.
It's calculated by the number of times.
I don't know how many more times this will happen.
He didn't want to waste all the luck he had worked so hard for on the Eerie Stone. He wanted to wait for other Lucky Bag or other places that required luck, where the cost-effectiveness would be much higher.
That's enough.
They gave him 9 billion Eerie Stone for nothing.
This instantly brought his Eerie-Stone Reserves in the Mortal Domain to 16.2 billion. He opened three Lucky Bag in a row, and the Eerie-Stone Reserves he obtained were equivalent to the Eerie Stone he had accumulated in the Mortal Domain for a long time.
That's enough to build "Defense Line Seven".
All that's missing is Monkey-Head Fruit.
He didn't dare open the Resource Lucky Bag in his hand anymore, but just stuffed it into his pocket, muttering under his breath, "Can't it just be materialized?"
He had no idea how much luck he still possessed.
The Heavenly Dao's Blessing on that day.
He has another additional effect.
Fortune's Favor.
I wonder how much luck he used up opening those three Resource Lucky Bag. If he had a dozen or so left, he could have Resource Lucky Bag even more.
"But that's enough."
Chen Fan looked at the High-Grade Eerie Stone scattered around him and laughed. It was equivalent to picking up 9 billion Eerie Stone for free, without even needing to mine them.
He likes Resource Lucky Bag.
I prefer the Heavenly Dao's Blessing.
Good.
Members of the Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion in the Mortal Domain rushed to the Back Mountain the Nameless Mountain and pulled the numerous Eerie Stone scattered on the ground back to the Warehouse. No one knew where so many Eerie Stone came from.
All we know is that it was an order issued by the Domain Lord.
Since it concerns the Domain Lord, it doesn't seem so surprising anymore.
Chen Fan then built three more fully-equipped "Brick Kiln".
After batches of Logistics Pavilion Member of the Mortal Domain moved into the Brick Kiln and figured out the entire process.
The next day arrived.
A conveyor belt consisting of "Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail" transports stone bricks from the Brick Kiln located Behind Nameless Mountain to the Mortal City.
And in the Mortal City.
One after another, enormous "Giant Strange Entity" were lifting Giant Brick from the conveyor belt and, following instructions, placing them one by one on the Open Ground according to the blueprints carved on the ground beside them.
Like building blocks.
In no time, a skyscraper about 14 stories high rose from the ground!
And it is still rising rapidly.
In the previous life, it would have taken a year, or even more than ten years, to complete the construction of this building, but now in the Mortal Domain, it only takes half a day.
That "Giant Strange Entity" was enormous, standing tens of meters tall, and could easily build a skyscraper.
Standing on the city wall of Fancheng, Chen Fan looked at the scene before him and smiled. He had been in this world for more than six years.
The experiences of my past life have gradually become blurred.
But after witnessing this scene...
He felt that familiar feeling again.
Let's build a City full of skyscrapers, which will not only better accommodate the Mortal Domain Member, but also bring a different feel to this world.
Soon, the skyscraper in front of us, after reaching 18 stories, began to be topped out.
A dozen or so Logistics Pavilion Member carried large and small bags into the high-rise building to begin some meticulous installations, such as laying Copper Pipe for water supply.
And some simple rough-and-ready renovations were done on the interior of the house.
"Domain Lord."
Standing to the side, Wang Kui looked at the tall building and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "I've never heard of such a tall building before. Won't it collapse in a strong wind?"
"Won't."
Chen Fan shook his head without explaining further. The Max-Level Effect of the Brick Kiln is that it has extremely strong wind and earthquake resistance. To be on the safe side, he built two more foundations, so there is almost no risk of natural collapse.
Certainly.
If it gets hit head-on by the Godslayer Cannon, then that's a different story.
The new "Giant Strange Entity" vehicle is incredibly useful. It not only excels at harvesting wheat in the New Continent, but it's also a master at building houses here.
Dozens of Giant Strange Entity were busy at work.
Skyscrapers are springing up everywhere.
At this time, Mortal City was beginning to show signs of becoming a modern city.
Such high-rise buildings would not be feasible for other forces.
The Eerie Fire isn't that high; an 18-story building would already be outside the range of the Eerie Fire. People living on the top floor would be trapped in Eternal Night once night falls.
Mortal Domain.
The entire area is filled with max-level Eerie Fire Eerie Fire, which has an extremely high range. In addition, the Northbank Defense Line is right in front of us, so the safety level is at its maximum. Living here, you almost don't need to worry about safety issues.
And the "Gondola" finally came in handy.
They were placed in high-rise buildings to serve as Elevator.
A house built with bricks is not considered a building, Gondola cannot operate on its surface, but it's not a big problem; a Copper Pipe can be laid.
The interaction logic between the various buildings.
This is a course in the Mortal Domain Private School. Those in charge of logistics must learn this knowledge. Without him issuing any additional orders, these people already know what to do.
"Oh, right--"
Chen Fan suddenly turned to look at Wang Kui beside him. "How's the Management Training Class going lately?"
More than half a year ago.
The Mortal Domain has recently opened a Private School, primarily for training managers. It specifically selects Mortal Domain Member for training, and once they graduate, they can directly assume management positions.
"The first class has all successfully graduated and taken up their respective management positions."
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded slightly. "Young people still need more training. This world ultimately belongs to the young. We should also incorporate knowledge related to defense lines. In the future, we will definitely have more defense lines. The people in charge of these defense lines are people we have personally trained, so we can trust them more."
"Clear."
Wang Kui nodded seriously. After thinking for a moment, he still didn't say anything about "the Finance Pavilion." It seems the Domain Lord doesn't intend to build the Finance Pavilion anymore.
They wanted him to serve as the Pavilion Master of both the Finance Pavilion and the Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion simultaneously.
He felt somewhat helpless about this.
Because...
The reason he served Station Master for 13 years was because he did an exceptionally good job.
He now serves as the head of two cabinets simultaneously because he has done an exceptionally good job.
There's nothing I can do.
Can't people even do their jobs properly?
What should we do?
"Also, urge them to increase the Monkey-Head Fruit production on the Island as much as possible."
"Clear."
This Rainy Season may be a sign of the Storm, or it may be the dawn before Dawn.
Fifteen days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Fifteen days have passed since the Rainy Season began.
According to news from the Eternal Night Hall, not a single Frontline has fallen, and all defenses have fared well this Rainy Season!
But the Eternal Night Hall was also somewhat uneasy about this.
This doesn't sound like good news.
The strength of the Strange Entity Clan could not have been suddenly weakened, which can only mean that the Strange Entity Clan is accumulating power as much as possible, preparing to deliver a powerful blow.
And these fifteen days.
The Mortal City has been completely transformed.
The Mortal City, after being completely renovated, has expanded once again. High-rise buildings of varying heights stand in every corner of Mortal City, making this City look completely different from other City.
This is the first City built in the Mortal Domain.
It is also the City that the Mortal Domain cares about the most.
Even the roads in the City are paved and smooth, and the roadsides are full of green plants. Walking in the City, if it weren't for the "Northbank Defense Line" that can be seen not far away when you look up, it would look like a modern city, without any sense of danger.
Night has fallen.
Normally, after nightfall, every household in a City closes their doors and turns off their lights, with only the pale yellow glow of the Eerie Fire enveloping the entire City.
But now...
Every building in "Mortal City" was brightly lit, and every room was illuminated.
This is a building in the Mortal Domain that has been upgraded to its maximum level.
Building Name: Eerie Fire Lamp
It needs to be lit by adding Eerie Stone; a single Eerie Fire can burn for a long time and can be turned on and off.
Chen Fan directly connected Copper Pipe to each household, linking Copper Pipe to these Eerie Fire Lamp, thus creating a scene of Lights of Ten Thousand Homes even at night.
All Mortal Domain Member must consume Eerie Stone to purchase a house.
The more senior you are, the fewer Eerie Stone you need to consume.
The first batch of Mortal Domain Member to join the Mortal Domain, including the former "Northbank City" Wild Wolf Gang, were the earliest and most senior members.
They can buy a house for just 100 Eerie Stone.
The younger the seniority, the more Eerie Stone are consumed.
Certainly.
With the monthly allowance distributed by the Mortal Domain, as long as one doesn't spend the money on eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring as soon as it arrives, everyone, whether senior or junior, can definitely afford it.
This single-room, single-person setup is certainly less efficient than the old Communal Sleeping Platform, but it also makes people feel more at home. These members, busy on the Frontline every day for the Mortal Domain, also feel like they are protecting their own home.
Standing on the city wall of Fancheng, Chen Fan listened to the laughter and chatter coming from Fancheng after nightfall. He leaned on his cane and stood in the night rain, chuckling softly without saying a word.
He felt...
Being able to bring laughter and joy to so many people during the Rainy Season is a kind of good deed.
At this time, the Mortal City had been completely transformed.
These houses are only available for purchase by Mortal Domain Member; this is a City belonging to Mortal Domain Member.
And on the side.
There is also a brand new City, being built from scratch.
With the population of the Mortal Domain increasing, especially after many people from the "Defense Line Seven" and the "Yellow Springs Pass Defense Line" are transferred to the Northbank Defense Line, the population pressure will be even greater, and housing needs to be prepared in advance.
Just then -
The Message Talisman in his arms suddenly became slightly warm, and Shao Qiu's voice came from inside.
"Domain Lord."
"News has come from the 'Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Defense Line One': Sister Chan was indeed killed by a sneak attack from Strange Entities, and there were no traitors involved throughout the entire incident."
"It wasn't the deputy head who did anything sabotage."
"Knew."
Chen Fan nodded slightly. A long time ago, the Mortal Domain Shadow Pavilion had planted some people in the Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One, precisely for this situation.
At least he has some unique information channels in the Mortal Domain to judge the truth or falsehood of things.
He didn't want to be unaware that the person in charge had betrayed him, and then rush over only to fall into a trap.
He only went to the Frontline once.
It was during the time they built Empty Rail.
After that, whether it was transporting supplies or other matters, he never set foot on the Frontline again. He didn't really want to wander around if he could stay in the Mortal Domain.
It's too dangerous outside, and there are too many people who want him dead.
If I really wanted to kill him, it's hard to say whether a Jadeite Staff could protect him.
Even if that Glazed Figurine exists.
That Glazed Figurine can only be used once.
You can only use it once.
The Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One.
That's it?
On the City Wall.
A Middle-Aged Man, clutching Chicken Leg and with grease dripping from his mouth, poked his head out from behind the City Wall, looking down at the endless stream of Strange Tide below, and glanced around with some confusion.
"Where is the Wraith King? Where is the Greater Wraith?"
"Why are they all low-level, Strange Tide? This year's Rainy Season seems a bit weak."
"Are you preparing to assemble and charge?"
The Strange Tide this Rainy Season were far too weak.
They were so weak that even they realized it.
Don't jinx it.
An Elderly Man sitting cross-legged against the City Wall shook his head with dissatisfaction. "We'll be safe for as long as we can, so let's not talk about such bad luck."
"The Rainy Season will last another fifteen days."
"Once the Rainy Season is over, we'll be safe for another year."
"And where did you get that Chicken Leg?"
"Hehe," the Middle-Aged Man said smugly, "A friend of mine gave it to me."
Similar to a conversation.
The sound echoed continuously in every corner of this 108-kilometer-long "Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One." This Rainy Season was so strange that everyone felt something was wrong.
Inside the command center.
"This is the commander of the Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One defense line, calling for the commander of the 'Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line'."
"Any unusual activity on your end?"
"Nothing is currently available; everything is normal."
Could there be Greater Wraith hidden within this Strange Tide?
"Yes, the intensity of the Strange Tide is the same as in previous Rainy Season."
The Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line have been repaired, and new leaders have taken office.
The Middle-Aged Man who had once shown Chen Fan around the Frontline now put down the Parent-Child Stone in his hand, his brows furrowed as he stared at the Ghosthide Map in front of him.
He had assumed that the Strange Entity Clan planned to sneak in again and launch a full-scale attack on the Western Wasteland Island.
But...
Everything is normal on the Yellow Springs Coast Defense Line.
Everything is normal on the Autumn Bright Basin Defense Line as well.
This indicates that the Strange Entity Clan had no intention of going to the Western Wasteland Island, or at least not along the same route as last time. So where did the Strange Tide at the Western Wasteland Island Frontline go?
Hiding?
Could it be that they've smuggled themselves to another area again?
The Western Region of the Eternal Night Continent.
"Millennium Defense Line".
This is a defensive line further south of the "Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Defense Line One," and it is only 7 kilometers long, making it an extremely short defensive line.
It belongs to the secondary defense line.
It's roughly the same size as the Northbank Defense Line.
Only one level 5 defense line was established.
Meanwhile, not far behind this defensive line, a City was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
"Truly, a true dragon emerges from shallow waters."
"Who can argue with that? He became Level 10 Builder at such a young age. It's said that the Eternal Night Hall personally sent someone to invite him to join."
"The Zhou Family has truly prospered."
Inside the City.
Many people who were still awake gathered on the street, looking towards the lively banquet not far away.
Millennium Plain, "Zhou Family".
Today, we're hosting a banquet for three families to celebrate our Young Master becoming Level 10 Builder. Keep in mind, Young Master's only 22 years old, which means he has a very bright future ahead of him.
All you need is a "Blue Grade" blueprint.
Once they have fully comprehended it, there is a high probability that they will all become Celestial Master Builder.
Understanding Building Blueprint requires talent.
Just like some people can easily draw a 3D model of a skyscraper in their mind.
Some people, no matter how hard they work, can't even draw a three-dimensional model of a cube in their mind.
This depends on talent.
No way.
"I'd like to say a few words."
The young man, dressed in a red robe and adorned with red flowers, was clearly quite drunk. He stood on the street, staggering and raising his glass as he looked at the neighbors who had come to the feast.
" On the Eternal Night Continent, Strange Entities roam freely."
Everyone is outraged.
"Now that I've become Level 10 Builder, I should naturally contribute to the Eternal Night Continent, and..."
The next moment -
Suddenly, countless violent bombardments rang out in the distance; it was the sound of the defensive line suddenly opening fire at full force, abruptly shattering the celebratory atmosphere within the City.
Before anyone could react...
The roar of the artillery shells suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards.
They seemed to feel the ground trembling slightly.
The tremors grew stronger and stronger.
Rumble...
Only when the City Wall collapsed instantly, and countless Strange Tide surged out from the Torrential Rain, rushing into the streets in a frenzy and bloodthirsty manner, did the terrified screams of the people continue to ring out!
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
They all fled into their own houses.
Some hid under the bed, some in the Well, and some in the kitchen.
Only...
The Millennium Defense Line, which protected the Millennium Plain, has been breached.
Even the City Wall fell instantly.
Where can they possibly hide?
The red-robed youth, who had been drunk just moments before, now hid under the bed, his eyes filled with terror, tightly covering his mouth, listening to the agonizing screams coming from outside.
My body is tense.
They dared not make a sound.
He couldn't understand how the Millennium Defense Line had fallen so suddenly, when it had remained intact for so many years.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind.
He cannot die.
He's a Level 10 Builder, the first Level 10 Builder in Millennium Plain, and so young with a bright future. As long as he lives, he can build even more structures to fight against the Strange Tide.
He cannot die; the Eternal Night Continent awaits his salvation.
However, the next moment -
The door was suddenly kicked open!
Through the gap under the bed, he clearly saw a Strange Entities with large feet carrying a butcher's knife enter the house, survey the room, and then walk out again.
Seeing this.
He breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped a terrible ordeal.
But the next moment...
A deathly pale face suddenly emerged from beside the bed, staring at him menacingly.
"Do you like to hide under the bed?"
"Ah?"
"Ah!!!"
A piercing scream came from under the bed.
The Strange Entities yanked the red-robed boy out from under the bed, lifting him in the air like a Chicks, before looking at the Vellum in its hand.
I scanned it for a long time.
A name and a portrait were seen at the end of the Vellum.
The Strange Entities lifted the red-robed youth into the air, compared him to the portrait on the Vellum, and then grinned sinisterly. "It's you, the genius Builder."
His strong, powerful right hand exerted a slight force.
The red-robed youth, who had just become Level 10 Builder, had his head explode in the palm of the Strange Entities, scattering red and white matter all over the ground.
5
The Strange Entities tossed the corpse aside as if it were trash, then pulled a piece of Ghost Bone from its robes. "My lord, Millennium Target has been Eradication."
"Let's move on to the next stop."
"Yes."
The next moment.
The Strange Entities was slaughtering the people in the City suddenly stopped, rushed out of the City and disappeared into the darkness. It didn't even finish killing everyone in the City before it hurriedly left.
The Vellum contained the order from the higher-ups of the Strange Entity Clan to eliminate any unexpected factors that had to be dealt with.
Top Ranker.
Chen Fan, of the Jiangbei Mortal Domain.
And Chen Fan's portrait was placed right next to his name.
The red-robed youth who just died was located quite far back.
This scene.
Almost simultaneously, in various corners of the Eternal Night Continent, some defensive lines that usually experienced little impact from the Strange Tide were suddenly assaulted that night.
In contrast, the Frontline were as quiet as still water.
The Strange Entity Clan gave the order.
At every Frontline, troops were dispatched at all costs to eliminate any destabilizing factors.
This command wasn't originally intended.
However, the Strange Entity Clan received news that the Jiangbei Mortal Domain had provided a batch of sculptures to the "Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One," and those sculptures could reduce the Eerie Stone consumption of Defensive Structure by 40%.
Inside a Palace unknown to most.
A Ghost Emperor sat in the Great Hall with a gloomy expression. He was the same Ghost Emperor had ordered a night raid on the Mortal Domain at all costs last year, but the raid failed.
After learning that the Mortal Domain was providing support to the Frontline.
The higher-ups of the Strange Entity Clan blamed him.
They believed he hadn't used his full strength at the time.
"Oh shit!"
The Ghost Emperor's face darkened, and he couldn't help but curse. He hadn't even used his full strength yet, and he had already sneaked across two regions, making a night raid on the Western Wasteland Island with only one in a hundred chance of survival.
This is not even considered using your full strength.
How do you call for full strength?
All troops mobilized?
Is the fighting on the Frontline over?
This lesson made the Strange Entity Clan's leadership even more aware of the dangers posed by these unstable factors. Therefore, during this year's Rainy Season, the Strange Entity Clan had only one order.
Temporarily abandon the attack on the Frontline.
At all costs, we must first eliminate those destabilizing factors, then rest for a year, and launch All-Out Assault next year.
These destabilizing factors are growing too fast.
And this time...
The task of "Eradication the Mortal Domain" fell to him.
The command above was very clear.
We must do everything in our power to Eradication the Mortal Domain.
What does "going all out" mean? It means launching a full-scale attack.
"Well."
After a long silence, the Ghost Emperor, sitting on the throne in the Great Hall, sighed deeply and hesitated to issue the order. He was waiting for a better solution. If he really launched a full-scale attack on the Western Wasteland Island, there would be very few soldiers left by the time they reached the Western Wasteland Island.
He truly didn't want his subordinates to die needlessly under the Heavenly Thunder.
For example...
We could easily lure Chen Fan to the Frontline and then Slaying Chen Fan in the same way we killed the Frontline One leader.
This is definitely more convenient than smuggling yourself to Western Wasteland Island.
".. Um."
The Ghost Emperor sat in the Great Hall, pondering. This was indeed a good idea. As long as Chen Fan could be killed, he didn't care how.
Why not...
I heard that Chen Fan is extremely particular about Building Blueprint.
His laughter suddenly echoed through the Great Hall.
" Upon Wraith One took out a Blue-Grade Building Blueprint from the Warehouse and placed it in the mouth of a Greater Wraith, instructing this Greater Wraith to lead its troops to charge the Frontline."
"Get this Blueprint to the Frontline lines."
"Yes."
He also amassed a considerable number of Blueprint were useless to their Strange Entity Clan but useful to humans. They would collect them, as they were often extremely effective as bait, for example... right now.
Daylight broke.
Shortly after dawn, the heavy voice of Old Qiu came from the Parent-Child Stone in Chen Fan's arms.
"Domain Lord Chen."
"Last night... many secondary defense lines on the Eternal Night Continent were breached."
"The Strange Entity Clan paid a heavy price, smuggling out a large number of Strange Tide and systematically Eradication many seed forces."
"These forces, like the Mortal Domain, possess enormous potential."
"We intercepted several waves of the Strange Tide."
"We seized some Vellum, on Vellum their attack targets were marked: Chen Fan of Jiangbei Mortal Domain... Top Ranker."
Add more, be careful.
The communication was disconnected.
Chen Fan, who had just woken up, remained silent and expressionless when he received the message, his lips twitching slightly.
Hello?
He did nothing.
He only donated a batch of grain and a batch of sculptures, how did Top Ranker?
Do the Strange Entity Clan hate him that much?
He then quickly pulled out Message Talisman.
"Wang Kui, bring back all the ripe Monkey-Head Fruit from the Island, as well as those scattered in various Warehouse and corners of the Island, including the Monkey-Head Fruit that the monkeys have stored up for their own consumption."
Let's try to gather 870,000 Monkey-Head Fruit.
There is still a breach in the "Defense Line Seven" on Western Wasteland Island that has not been plugged.
He has no shortage of Eerie Stone.
The main shortage is of Monkey-Head Fruit.
Although Monkey-Head Fruit ripens quickly, it still takes time. Only fifteen days have passed, so it's impossible for a whole batch to ripen. We can only try to gather them together as quickly as possible.
If all else fails, we must first build a Ninth-Level Defense Line to plug this gap.
As long as this gap is filled.
Make it up to you.
"Useless, useless!!"
In the Eternal Night Western Black Tortoise Frontline One Sea Domain of the Eternal Night Black Tortoise No. 1, inside a Palace, the Ghost Emperor was angrily smashing a porcelain cup on the table.
This is his favorite set of porcelain cups.
He had painstakingly brought it out from the Eternal Night Continent, but now he had slammed it to the ground.
The Building Blueprint were successfully delivered to the Frontline lines.
But according to his inside contact...
The message wasn't relayed to Chen Fan at the Frontline; instead, it was left for the Frontline One Builder to decipher.
I'm so angry!
His plan was to use this Blueprint to lure Chen Fan to the Frontline, thus avoiding the losses from smuggling him out. However, he didn't expect that the Frontline wouldn't even inform Chen Fan of this information.
Isn't Chen Fan a top Builder?
You have Blueprint but you don't seek help from Chen Fan? You're trying to figure it out yourself?
"Or..."
The Little Strange Entity kneeling below trembled violently as he asked in a shaking voice, "Should we send another one?"
"Give it to your mom!"
The Ghost Emperor, somewhat exasperated, said, "If I send any more, I'll become Mole! I'll fucking...!"
Not only did it not attract Chen Fan, but it also failed to attract his attention.
They also lost a Blue Grade Blueprint for nothing. If this Blueprint were fully understood, they would be the ones to suffer. However, he quickly took a deep breath and tried to Composure himself down as much as possible.
"Don't rush."
"Blue Grade Blueprint aren't easy to understand quickly; they take a long time."
"Let me think of another way to lure Chen Fan to the Frontline."
"Let me think..."
"Tie up his family!"
"Wang, Chen Fan has no family."
Tie up his wife!
"No wife."
Where is the child?
No children.
Where are your Subordinate?
"My key Subordinate are all in Jiangbei."
The Ghost Emperor suddenly fell silent. What else could he bind? It seemed... he had no choice but to launch a direct attack.
