These thirteen construction requirements are all basic infrastructure: driving away wild animals, clearing ruins, water and electricity grids, housing, number of residents, city walls, etc., which are the so-called prototypes. The Third Sanctuary has dozens of requirements, and this only accounts for a part of them.
"The blueprint construction was originally a three-month plan, with the goal of completing the basic structure of the Sanctuary within a specified time. The First Sanctuary has been under construction for a month, and is about halfway complete. Compared to them, three months seems like a lot of time..."
Han Xiao suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, Bennett has tens of thousands of workers, while I only have a thousand a month. If we do the task the normal way, the time will be very tight."
Suddenly, a commotion arose ahead, and the convoy hurriedly stopped. Thousands of people had gathered at the entrance to the ruined city.
Something's up!
The guards hurriedly got out of the vehicles and formed a protective circle around the central group. At this moment, the crowd also noticed the convoy and moved in their direction.
The group was dressed in unusual attire, and the people on the Dark Net immediately recognized them.
Inhuman!
A sense of tension exploded in their hearts. Facing the mysterious Inhuman, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Inhuman were far more dangerous than wild beasts; they could resurrect! Lord Black Phantom's mechanical creations alone might not be enough to protect everyone.
Huang Yu was terrified.
"So many Inhuman?! Why are they gathered here? The organization sent people to scout the terrain in the Gray Iron Ruins a while ago, and there wasn't a single person there!"
In Han Xiao's field of vision, the densely packed IDs above the players' heads made him dizzy. At this moment, he flicked the corner of his trench coat, stepped out of the car with great momentum, pushed through the crowd, and stood at the front of the convoy with his hands behind his back.
Sandwiched between the two sides, his stance resembled a javelin pointing straight to the sky. A gust of wind blew by, causing his trench coat to flutter wildly, like a black flag waving in the wind. His imposing entrance alone immediately drew everyone's attention to him.
A surprising scene unfolded for the members of the Dark Net: the Inhuman stopped spontaneously upon seeing Han Xiao.
"Black Phantom, let's do a mission." That's straightforward.
"We heard you're building Sanctuary, let's help." This is a very relatable message.
"After waiting so long, I almost thought it was just a rumor." This was a sigh of relief.
Han Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, nodding casually and nonchalantly. "Thank you all for your help. It's all for the people. Our convoy is about to enter the city. Please make way. Once we've settled down, we'll plan the city's development goals, and there will be many job opportunities then."
Upon hearing this, the players obediently made way.
The people on the Dark Net stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with astonishment.
These Inhuman actually came to help Black Phantom on their own initiative. When did Black Phantom gain such influence among Inhuman beings?
Huang Yu was dumbfounded. Was Han Xiao confident that he could complete the prototype in a month because he could command Inhuman?
For Planet Aquamarine, the existence of Inhuman is a strange phenomenon. Everyone is wary and cautious when interacting with Inhuman, and their attitude is generally indifferent. Therefore, Huang Yu found this scene unbelievable.
How did Black Phantom manage that? And why would the Inhuman respect him?
"This matter needs to be reported to Bennett..." Huang Yu thought to himself.
With the addition of players, the team instantly grew several times larger, making their way into the Gray Iron Ruins.
The convoy found a spot to stop, Kony Fury hesitated before asking, "Sir, we need to clear an area where we're stationed first. It's getting late, and we'd better finish before dark. We don't have many men, so we must get started immediately."
"Go and ask those Inhuman for help."
"Me?" Kony Fury, somewhat frightened.
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Han Xiao patted his shoulder.
Kony Fury had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to get out of the car, take out a megaphone, and after a moment of preparation, shout to the players, "I need some manpower to clear a safe area nearby for everyone to camp in. Since you've come to help, I'll have to trouble you."
These words immediately triggered the quest, which every player accepted. They scattered like birds and beasts and got to work right away.
The surrounding area immediately turned into a construction site, clearing away debris and wild animals.
Kony Fury looked surprised, not expecting these Inhuman to be so accommodating.
Looking back at Han Xiao in the car, he understood. The Inhuman wasn't giving him face, but rather giving face to this mysterious superior.
With the help of the players, by evening a safe area had been cleared out. It was a stadium, naturally suitable for open-air camping, and the dangerous insects and wild animals that lived around it had been driven away by the players.
With Han Xiao's approval, the members of the Dark Net deployed small folding turrets around the stadium for automatic defense, attracting many players to curiously observe them.
Using the vehicles as a barrier to protect the tents, the players rested elsewhere, and the stadium became a bustling area where thousands of players chatted, many of them knew each other, and some even set up stalls, creating a lively scene that dispelled the desolate atmosphere that lingered in the abandoned city.
The ruins, silent for decades, began to echo once more.
"Great, Great God!"
As Hao Tian was being led around by the Baby Bear, he suddenly heard someone call his name. When he turned around, he saw Azure Sky and the other core members of the Sky Domain Guild following behind him, looking at him with excitement.
Hao Tian nodded, glanced at everyone, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, hello everyone."
"It's all part of our job." Azure Sky said excitedly. Sky Domain is a guild under the Long Sky Club, and Hao Tian is a pillar of Long Sky. They are colleagues and know each other.
Clubs and guilds need to provide support to professional players because they are the face of the club. Hao Tian has an even higher status; he is also an idol of his own guild.
Azure Sky brought people to the Sanctuary without hesitation, mainly because she knew that Hao Tian was with Black Phantom and wanted to come and help.
Of all the players who came to the Sanctuary, only Sky Domain was a major guild; most of the other players were casual players. Meat Bun Hits Dog was immediately recognized; as the most popular video creator at the moment, he had many enthusiastic fans.
"Don't run away, you dog author!"
"Stick your head out, I'll show you a treasure!"
"Taste the anger of Africans!"
"Still not updating?! I'll break your legs!"
A group of resentful fans chased after Meat Bun, Pursuit weapons and shouting. Players nearby made way, watching the spectacle with great interest. Some even started selling snacks and cheering loudly. Shouts of "Kill him!" rang out continuously, mixed with laughter.
Even while running away, Meat Bun didn't forget to record a video, shouting into the camera, "This meeting went very smoothly, the fans were very enthusiastic. As the saying goes, 'A beating is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love, the more you love someone, the more you want to hurt them. How can you love someone without fighting? I am very pleased."
"Come on, smile for the camera." Meat Bun turned to film the player Pursuit, fully embodying the reckless and suicidal spirit. This is the self-discipline of a video creator; without courting death, how can one collect material that ordinary players can't see?
"You scoundrel! Take this!"
call--
A flying axe grazed past my scalp.
The Meat Bun shrank back in fright and disappeared without looking back, leaving the other players chasing after it breathless.
"Damn it, how can he run so fast? My stamina is almost gone."
"After all, he follows Black Phantom, so his rank is higher than ours..."
"Ugh, you damn European!"
The players outside the tent were having a blast, but Mad Frenzied Sword were serious; he was facing an important Choice.
Having successfully advanced, Frenzied Saber hesitated when faced with the three paths of Gunner, Mechanic, and Mech Warrior.
Han Xiao's combat prowess as a mechanic was indeed terrifying, but personally, Frenzied Saber preferred the mech warrior path. He had a gut feeling that the mechanic route was not suitable for him.
Han Xiao had given him advice before, believing that he had potential in close combat and implying that the path of a mech warrior was more suitable for him.
This main account is intended for professional leagues. If you choose the wrong one, the disadvantage of having to start over will be too great, so this choice is crucial.
After much deliberation, Frenzied Sword finally decided to use a coin toss...
I've heard that the answer comes the moment you toss a coin.
Since the convoy camp was off-limits, players formed a market near the camp, waiting for Black Phantom to come out and issue quests.
A petite female player, carrying an equipment bag that was a size larger than her, walked through the market, looking around curiously.
After passing through the market, Maple Moon stopped outside the camp, took a deep breath, and gripped the phone tightly in her hand.
"Finally reached level 20..."
Her lively and adorable face couldn't help but show a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
