Chapter 66 Map Patchwork, New Enemy
Chapter 66 Map Patchwork, New Enemy
Liu Huasheng built 151 houses in one go and then frantically recruited 906 laborers in the city square, which consumed a total of 80030 gold coins and 3020 wood.
At this point, Liu Huasheng had a total of 1020 migrant workers in Huaxia Longcheng.
A swarm of sword-and-shield dogs gathered in the city square, surrounding Liu Huasheng. They huddled together, staring at each other, shouting "Sword and shield!" incessantly.
"That's exactly the kind of presence we wanted!"
Liu Huasheng felt a sense of satisfaction. He stood on a high point, raised his arms, and shouted: "My sons and daughters of Longcheng, China, the era of massive infrastructure construction has arrived! Let us use our hardworking hands to build magnificent projects and bring spectacular awe to the world!"
"My sword and shield?"
"My sword and shield?"
"My sword and shield?"
The migrant workers responded enthusiastically, but they only had one line, which was a question.
Liu Huasheng raised his arms again and shouted, "Men, now follow me into the quarry, become stonemasons, work hard quarrying, and begin our great infrastructure project! Many hands make light work, charge!"
After saying that, Liu Huasheng led the charge, followed by a huge horde of sword-wielding and shield-wielding dogs, creating an extremely lively scene.
Soon, in the quarry, the knife-and-shield dogs were digging and breaking rocks, and various metal tools were striking the stone surface, the clanging sounds echoing in all directions.
"Labor is glorious, everyone is like a dragon; the infrastructure of a great nation is built without regret or complaint!"
Liu Huasheng shouted slogans loudly, thinking to himself that these stonemasons did not eat or drink, were tireless, worked hard without complaint, did not ask for wages, were obedient and skilled, and were truly perfect laborers. With them, how could we not accomplish great things?
A moment later, Liu Huasheng led about a hundred sword-and-shield dogs out of Chaos City.
He carried a large number of boulders down the high ground and piled them up like building blocks along the cliffs on both sides of the high ground.
The sword-and-shield dogs followed closely behind, squatting on the boulders one by one to weld, sparks flying and electricity flashing, creating a truly lively scene!
Guan Zhengxing, who was passing by, was stunned!
"What's going on here?"
Although he had no idea what the city lord and these sword-and-shield dogs were up to, he thought the scene before him was pretty awesome!
Liu Huasheng wasn't undertaking any major project at the moment; he was simply reshaping the terrain.
The cliffs on both sides of this hill have a vertical drop of only 20 meters. Liu Huasheng plans to repair them with huge stones and build them into a vertical, arc-shaped city wall. He will then build crenellations on the wall to create a Great Wall-like fortification.
Later, we will continuously raise the foundation, repair the city walls, and create artificial natural barriers, transforming the No. 1 Highland into a large base standing on the earth like a towering mountain, with our own Chaos City standing on it, which will become the majestic High Heaven City!
"A tall building starts from the ground up; let's take this first step! Many hands make light work—that's our advantage!"
Liu Huasheng shouted, appearing very excited, and worked until late at night before finally stopping!
Of course, only he finished work; the stonemasons who did the welding returned to the Chaos Quarry, where they continued quarrying day and night!
The next day, at five o'clock in the morning, a sudden ground tremor woke Liu Huasheng.
"What happened? An earthquake?"
Liu Huasheng was shocked.
He rubbed his eyes; the ground inside the room was visibly shaking.
"What exactly happened?"
Liu Huasheng immediately snapped out of his reverie. He hurriedly ran out of his residence and arrived at the city square. The yellow dog Awei and the donkey Afu simultaneously appeared before him, the two game assistants exclaiming in unison, "Master, the Earth Patchwork has begun!"
"Earth splicing? What does that mean?"
Liu Huasheng was filled with doubt.
Donkey Afu said, "Because of the players' mental activity, Lostanp has become completely stable and is now expanding. It will connect with other maps, increasing its area by at least three times!"
"Tripled in size? Could it be four Lostamps combined into one?"
"Not necessarily!" said Yellow Dog Awei. "Map splicing is random. It might splice with other players' territories, or with wild areas, or even with the territories of wild monster lords or native lords. But no matter how it splices, a crystal zone will definitely appear after splicing!"
What is a crystallization zone?
Donkey Afu said, "The ground in the crystal zone is like crystal, making it impossible to build defensive towers on it. It's usually a buffer zone between two areas!"
Yellow Dog Awei continued, "Master, once the puzzle is complete, we must explore the map as soon as possible to guard against enemy attacks. You need to be mentally prepared; if we encounter extremely aggressive wild monster lords or native lords, our good days may be coming to an end!"
Before Wang Yi could even ask, Donkey Afu immediately explained, "A monster lord is a powerful monster king who rules over a region of monsters. They possess a certain level of intelligence, but are even more beastly, with an extremely strong sense of territory, and will organize monster sieges!"
"As for the native lords, they possess almost the same abilities as the players, own Chaos Cities, and can build towers for defense, but they will not experience monster invasions. They have independent personality settings, and players can interact with them, but the result of the interaction is usually war..."
The two game assistants explained things to Liu Huasheng, who listened quietly and soon understood what was going on.
Moments later, as soon as the ground shaking stopped, Liu Huasheng rushed to the watchtower's monitoring room.
The watchtower has a long-range radar that can monitor an area of thousands of miles. How big is Lostanpo? It's only a few miles in radius, which is far from enough to allow the long-range radar to operate at its full potential.
Now, with map stitching, the capabilities of the long-range radar can be somewhat unlocked.
Soon, Liu Huasheng discovered that Lostanp had pieced together three regions. To the east, a forest appeared, with mist swirling around the center of the forest, but a green castle could still be seen within it. The castle was clearly a Chaos City, but obviously not the player's Chaos City.
The strategic map marks Silvermoon City!
To the south of the map, a piece of sea is pieced together, and in the very center of the sea, a giant crocodile floats silently.
The giant crocodile was as big as a destroyer, but it was a level 10 monster.
Without a doubt, that was a powerful BOSS!
Liu Huasheng was unable to see any information about the BOSS from the surveillance footage. Most of its body was hidden in the water, so it might not actually be a giant crocodile.
Finally, in the West, a new "Lostamp" was pieced together!
Within this Lostanp, there is only one castle on Hill 3, which is actually a Tier 2 Chaos City. It seems that only four Tier 2 defensive towers have been integrated into the city, and the Chaos City's durability is not full, only half.
Liu Huasheng could directly see the name of the chaotic city in the surveillance footage: "City of the Immortal God King"!
"The City of Immortal Gods? Wow, what a name. Is the city lord perhaps a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?"
Liu Huasheng was relieved at this moment, as it seemed that no particularly powerful enemy had appeared.
Continuing to scan the entire map, Liu Huasheng discovered that in the center of the pieced-together Lostamp map in the west, the location of the Lost Temple had been marked as a city, named "Dog-Headed Holy City"!
"Never mind that for now, it's time to build the tower! Let's start our wonderful day with tower building!"
Liu Huasheng left the monitoring room and quickly wielded the construction hammer, building a brand-new Tier 2 defensive tower.
This defensive tower is called the "Multi-Arrow Tower," and its amazing ability is "All Arrows Return to One Source"!
