After seeing off the Elderly Man from the Dark Eerie Continent.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly as he pondered.

What are the main shipping routes between the two continents?

Flying Boat.

It can help you avoid most of the Strange Entities.

But

The route isn't a straight line. For example, some Sea Domain areas are frequently hit by storms, affecting travel. After all, Flying Boat can't fly very high, and encountering Thunderstorm Weather at sea can be tricky. Also, some Sea Domain are infested with powerful Strange Entities like the Heavenly Dao Strange, which need to be avoided. How many explorations are needed to open up the route?

Only then can a relatively safe route be determined.

This work was jointly completed by the "Dark Eerie Continent" and the "New Continent." Both sides had a good understanding of the Sea Domain conditions near their respective continents, and the two shipping routes, which originated from different continents, converged in the Sea.

"The Dark Eerie Continent."

Chen Fan lowered his head and silently recited the name of the continent. This was the first time he had encountered a continent that was still relatively friendly.

Certainly.

The exchange of Continent Soil between the two sides is not considered a trade commodity, nor does it require payment; it is simply a matter of mutual exchange. This material is a hard Strategic Resource, and no Chinese nation is without the need for other Continent Soil.

There is no need to impose restrictions on us.

If you try to hold others hostage, and they try to hold you hostage, and you keep doing this, no one can develop.

"Good."

After a long while, Chen Fan finally smiled, turned around and looked at the "Outpost One City" behind him. This was the first temporary Stronghold he had built on the New Continent, and it had now developed into a fairly large-scale city.

This is part of China's plan for the Mortal Domain.

It's the Logistics Continent.

The cultivation of many crops and Exotic Plant, as well as the development of Animal Husbandry, are mainly concentrated on this continent.

Standing on the City Wall, looking into the distance.

You can also see vast Grassland, and monkeys herding Flock of Sheep and riding Grassland Skeleton Horse.

"I wonder how things are going with the Shadow Pavilion."

He looked away and muttered to himself.

These days.

Some members of the Shadow Pavilion have already infiltrated the Feng Qiya Continent, gathering information from various sources. One of their main intelligence gathering activities is the source of "Eerie Stone." The amount of Eerie Stone needed to maintain the operation of a continent is enormous, not to mention its development.

He needs to see how other continents do it.

"Feng Qiya Continent".

A Flying Boat flying the Mortal Domain Banner, without any other Flying Boat providing cover, brazenly landed on the Feng Qiya Continent. Soon...

A hideous man jumped off the Flying Boat, glanced around nonchalantly, then strode to the 5 billion Eerie Stone laid out on the ground not far away. He picked his nose and casually flicked them away. "By order of the Domain Lord, I've come to count the Eerie Stone. Nothing missing, right?" The Middle-Aged Man guarding the Eerie Stone, forcibly suppressing his anger, forced a somewhat unpleasant smile and, leading a group of subordinates behind him, replied, "Not a single one is missing. Why don't you count them yourself?"

"You think I'll just order whatever you tell me to order?"

The ugly man, a member of the Mortal Domain Commerce Pavilion, looked at them with disdain. After glancing around again, he waved his hand and said, "Come out, everyone. Let's go into the city and get something to eat."

Soon.

A dozen or so men dressed in Mortal Domain Uniform emerged from the Flying Boat and walked openly toward the nearby City.

"Gentlemen, please."

The Middle-Aged Man standing there forced another somewhat awkward smile.

Yes.

Everyone knew that the men who came down from the Flying Boat belonged to the "Shadow Pavilion" of the Mortal Domain and were responsible for gathering intelligence. They made no attempt to conceal their true intentions and were so open and aboveboard that they didn't seem like members of the Shadow Pavilion.

But that's precisely why.

They couldn't make a move.

If the other party wasn't wearing Mortal Domain Uniform and sneaked into the Feng Qiya Continent, they could find them and kill them on the spot. No one would be able to say anything, and no one would know that they were from the Mortal Domain.

But since the other party was openly strolling around in his Mortal Domain Uniform, no one dared to make a move.

The Mortal Domain is clearly stirring up trouble now.

At this point, any excessive action would necessitate war.

The orders from above were clear: no matter what means were used, the Mortal Domain had to be stabilized, and war must not break out in the short term. Since the orders from above were absolute, he had no choice but to obey.

Since six months ago.

After the leader conducted a major reform and review of the Government Official System across the entire Feng Qiya Continent, his orders are now transmitted almost verbatim and are resolutely executed when they reach the grassroots level.

"Snort."

The ugly-faced Boat Captain of the Mortal Domain came for the inspection merely snorted coldly, "Now you're unhappy? If you knew this would happen, why did you play those petty tricks back then?"

As far as he knows.

Feng Qiya Continent are not limited to just this one.

There is also a Purple Exotic Treasure that cannot be identified.

And secretly, they revealed the Coordinates of the New Continent to the other continents.

Either of these incidents, if brought up, warrants immediate Slaying.

This is a China that likes to play dirty tricks behind people's backs.

Soon.

After entering the city.

The dozen or so members of the Mortal Domain Shadow Pavilion exchanged glances and then dispersed. Although they had come openly to gather intelligence, the locals dared not reveal any information under the supervision of people from the Feng Qiya Continent.

But that's exactly what they want.

Customs and daily culture can reveal a lot of information.

Information that locals dare not reveal creates an information gap. By weaving together other information, it becomes possible to determine roughly what this information gap is. Therefore, in their eyes, this is highlighted and emphasized.

As well as.

They not only had the task of gathering intelligence, but also of undermining public morale. This was done subtly and gradually, since it wasn't their own territory, they could wreak havoc as they pleased.

One day later.

Having returned to the "Eternal Night Continent," Chen Fan is currently studying the Purple Grade Exotic Treasure, the "Insight Token," in the Back Mountain.

"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Insight Token.

"Exotic Treasure Grade": Purple Grade.

"Exotic Treasure Effect": Will assess the overall strength of the holder.

"Ps": The Mortal Domain has built the "Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail" by combining "Copper Pipe" and "Gondola". If the Mortal Domain agrees, the Building Blueprint "Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail" can be created in the Heaven and Earth.

Without the need for Copper Pipe and Gondola, the effect of the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail can be achieved directly through Building Blueprint.

Those Mortal Domain can obtain special rewards from Heaven and Earth.

This is not a one-time use Exotic Treasure.

It is a "Reward-Type Exotic Treasure".

This Exotic Treasure can determine the holder's faction and grant different reward lines based on the determined situation. For example, one of its current reward lines is "Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail". After completing this reward line, one can begin to enter the next reward line.

He is thinking about it now.

Is it open source?

Yes.

This is essentially the meaning of open source. Originally, the combination of "Copper Pipe" and "Gondola" for the Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail system was exclusive to him. Now, as long as it is open source, it means that all continents can use easier means to own this High-Speed Rail structure.

Even the entire Feng Qiya Continent can be possessed.

The reward is unknown.

They didn't even know if it was Eerie Stone or something else.

But he

After pondering for a day, he sighed and decided to "open source" the project. He didn't really have a choice; the "Copper Pipe" building, while extremely Rare, was a non-upgradeable "Building Module."

Currently, the only Building Module that the Mortal Domain possesses is the Copper Pipe.

He unified the entire Eternal Night Continent and had some brief contact with other continents, yet he had basically never seen this Building Blueprint. This alone is enough to demonstrate its Rare.

Even the Rare building, if it's not unique, can be obtained by other continents. Perhaps many continents have already built High-Speed Rail using the combination of "Copper Pipe" and "Gondola," but they just don't have the "Insight Token" to make it available.

If the other party obtains the "Insight Token" and releases the information first, then he will have lost both his wife and his army.

And ultimately, it's not something that requires particularly advanced technology.

"Agree."

Standing on the Back Mountain the Nameless Mountain, Chen Fan said softly.

The next moment

I vaguely felt the Heaven and Earth tremble slightly. Suddenly, the Mr. Na appeared in the sky, his face solemn, and he spoke loudly, but I couldn't hear his voice; I could only see his mouth opening and closing.

Countless spiritual energies of Heaven and Earth converged high above the Eternal Night Continent.

Immediately afterwards.

The Insight Token in his hand began to heat up rapidly.

Then a line of text slowly appeared on the Token.

"The Building Blueprint 'Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail' can be born between Heaven and Earth."

"Reward: One Level 1 Black Abyss, 1 Dark Technology Source Point."

The Ghosthide Map in his hand began to flash, indicating that he should mark locations; wherever he marked a location, a level 1 Black Abyss would form. Before he could even make a move...

The Mr. Na suddenly appeared beside him.

"Try to mark it near the 'Eternal Night Continent.' The Black Abyss will attract Strange Tide, but the Eternal Night Continent, protected by the Thunderstorm Sea, cannot be invaded by any Strange Tide."

"Um."

Chen Fan nodded slightly; he thought so too. He then tapped his nose lightly on the Sea Domain not far from Jiangbei.

If viewed from the air...

Then you will see a large amount of darkness being squeezed and pounded by a massive amount of Heaven and Earth energy, like a dumpling being made, until it is completely solidified and smashed onto that Sea Domain, slowly forming a Black Abyss.

Black Abyss.

It can be simply understood as a large-scale, Eerie Ore.

The Strange Entity Clan can Mass Production Strange Entities here.

Humans or other races can mine Eerie Stone here.

"A very nice reward."

The Mr. Na laughed, "Once a level 1 Black Abyss is fully mined, it can yield 10 billion Eerie Stone."

Is this the only reward?

"No other rewards?"

"Well, I still feel like I'm at a bit of a loss, but oh well, it's not really a loss."

Chen Fan ignored the Heavenly Dao muttering to itself beside him, instead narrowing his eyes slightly as he gazed into the Depths of the Soul at the "Eternal Night Lord." The open-source Building Blueprint was called "Mortal Domain High-Speed Rail."

It is Building Blueprint with the prefix "Mortal Domain".

Currently, none of his buildings have any prefixes with the name of any faction, so this should be quite Rare, or rather, extremely Rare.

On the panel.

An additional section slowly emerged.

"Dark Technology Tree".

A large, dimly lit tree, with numerous dim icons on its branches and forks.

And at the very bottom of the tree.

A dim icon is flashing slowly, at an extremely slow speed.

There's another panel in the bottom right corner of the tree.

"Remaining Dark Technology Source Points": 1 point.

Use 1 Dark Technology Source Point to light up the first dimmed icon on this Technology Tree.

"Dark Technology Name": Resource Generation.

"Dark Technology Grade": None.

"Dark Technology Type": Faction Bonus.

"Dark Technology Effect": Increases the probability of naturally occurring Eerie Ore within the faction's territory by 10%.

"Required Dark Technology Source Point": 1 point.

"Ps": Unable to upgrade.

It's equivalent to a Faction Buff.

It's similar to how he completed the Hidden Heavenly Dao's Blessing.

Light it up first.

There aren't many options; this is the only icon that can be lit up.

Soon

After this icon was lit up, a new message appeared on the Endless Night Lord Panel, and at the same time, he saw the next icon begin to flash slowly.

"Dark Technology Name": Accelerated Growth.

"Dark Technology Grade": None.

"Dark Technology Type": Faction Bonus.

"Dark Technology Effect": Allows you to select an area where all plants grow 100 times faster.

"Required Dark Technology Source Point": 1 point.

Chen Fan stared expressionlessly at the "Dark Technology Tree" deep within the Eternal Night Lord. He understood; it was an extremely Rare branch, and any icon lit up within it would greatly enhance a faction's power.

It's not just about having this kind of power boost, that is, "Dark Technology" that provides a buff.

For example, in the fourth icon that can be lit up, although he can't see its specific information, he can see that the icon is a huge cannonball, which is definitely related to the military, and may even be a Dark Technology building.

This is full of good stuff.

It's still the kind of thing that significantly boosts the strength of a faction.

Only.

His lips twitched slightly.

It requires Dark Technology Source Point to unlock, and he has only obtained 1 Dark Technology Source Point so far. Obtaining it is not easy, and who knows when he will be able to get a second one.

Moreover, only the first six can be lit up.

Start from the seventh one.

Third-Level Continent is required to start lighting up.

Both are Second-Level Continent.

One side has unlocked six Dark Technology, while the other has no idea such technologies exist. When the two sides fight, it's no longer necessary to think too much about who will win; this is the ultimate foundation.

"That Mr. Na."

He glanced at the Mr. Na beside him and whispered, "Do you know about the Dark Technology Source Point?"

"I know."

The Mr. Na gave Chen Fan a strange look. "Besides rewarding me with a Black Abyss, did you also reward me with a Dark Technology Source Point? The 'Primordial Continent' fragment has been almost completely devoured. Once it's finished, you'll be rewarded with a Dark Technology Source Point."

"Only"

"This item is extremely Rare, but it only works under specific circumstances; most of the time it's useless." (PS: Chinese New Year's Day)
