Chapter 314: Chapter 161: A King Descends from the Sky, Furious and Savage

「On the New Continent.」

Few people were bored.

Almost everyone had their own business to attend to. The once desolate and cold continent was now bustling with people, and countless horse-drawn carriages rushed back and forth, transporting Ghost Stones. Aside from Lame Monkey,

the only other one who was somewhat bored was Hey Hey.

To be precise,

from a human’s perspective, Hey Hey was bored, but from Hey Hey’s own perspective, he wasn’t bored at all.

Hey Hey had a large frame.

He couldn’t fit inside the carriages, so he could only hang onto the back, hitching a ride in mid-air.

「These past few days.」

Ever since Hey Hey learned to ride the high-speed rail, he would constantly travel back and forth between the New Continent and the Mortal Realm. One moment he’d go back to find Chen Fan, the next he’d run to the New Continent to see his monkey descendants.

He didn’t do anything in particular when he went to see Chen Fan.

He would just lie down next to him. Wherever Chen Fan went, he went.

As for his time on the New Continent, it was much the same. One moment he’d run a few laps deep into the continent, the next he’d go check if his monkey descendants were working hard.

He had stayed in the Nameless Mountain for many years before.

He never dared to go anywhere.

But ever since his congenital disease was cured, he had become much bolder and would wander around from time to time.

...

Soon, the next day arrived.

There was only one day left until the rainy season’s arrival at the beginning of November.

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall of the Rainy Season Defense Line, gazing at the distant horizon. The number of people in Mortal City had gradually dwindled. With the rainy season imminent, no one would be running around aimlessly; everyone would find a safe place to hide.

This year, the rainy season had not arrived early in any of the Four Areas Jiangbei.

So, although people were faintly worried, there was no widespread panic. As long as the rainy season didn’t arrive early, it was something they had experienced many times. Barring some exceptionally unlucky factions, most others could pass through it safely.

During this time, many people had wanted to stay in Mortal City and were willing to pay a high price.

He rejected them all.

The Mortal Realm did not accept outsiders during the rainy season.

"..."

’There’s nothing to do today.

’After several busy months, I finally have a moment of peace.

’This world doesn’t have many forms of entertainment. For the poor, entertainment isn’t a priority; earning one more Ghost Stone is what truly matters. If they get really bored, crawling into their wife’s bed after dark counts as entertainment.

’For the rich, there are carnal pleasures.

’But...

’I’m not very interested in any of that.

’For me, the only entertainment is standing on the City Wall and admiring the domain I’ve built.

’Every meter of the City Wall, every single turret.

’I built them all with my own hands.

’I could stand here for a day and a night without getting bored.

’This sense of accomplishment is something outsiders could never understand. Most people in the Mortal Realm probably think that when I’m in this contemplative state, I’m racking my brain about the future of the Mortal Realm. But really, I’m just quietly admiring the domain I’ve built.’

Just then, Wang Kui came jogging over.

"Domain Lord."

"We’ve finished the recount."

"The Mortal Realm currently has 16,270,000 Ghost Stones. The mining progress on the New Continent is fully on track. Over the next thirty days of the rainy season, there will be a continuous supply of Ghost Stones transported over."

"Good."

Chen Fan nodded lightly.

The Rainy Season Defense Line was fully prepared.

Ammunition was plentiful.

Logistics were secure.

Compared to last time, when he was forced to face the rainy season completely unprepared, he had now made every possible preparation. Everything was ready; all that was missing was the east wind.

After Wang Kui left, he took a whistle from his clothes, put it to his lips, and blew. At the same time, he opened the sea-blue silk bag in front of him. This was the reward for activating ten Max Level buildings.

-

[Fortune Bag]: Upon opening, there is a 50% chance to obtain a Blue Level Exotic Treasure, a 30% chance to obtain Blue Level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, a 10% chance to obtain a Blue Level Building Blueprint, a 9.5% chance to obtain a Blue Level Wonder, and a 0.5% chance to obtain something else.

-

The probabilities were the same as the Yellow Level Fortune Bag.

As long as it wasn’t Blue Level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, he would be fine with it.

If he got Heavenly and Earthly Treasures of this level, they would have to be used for upgrading extremely High Grade buildings. And if they were for Alchemy or Artifact Refining, no one in the Mortal Realm could currently process items of such a High Grade anyway.

Anything else,

for him, would be a good outcome.

The next moment—

A faint, light-blue glow shot out from the silk Fortune Bag in his hand. He reached into the bag and fumbled around, pulling out a... blueprint, as thin as a cicada’s wing.

-

[Exotic Treasure Name]: Rebirth Tower

[Exotic Treasure Level]: Blue

[Exotic Treasure Effect]: Building Blueprint. When a creature is killed by a City Defense Building within the camp’s range, its soul will be utterly scattered, preventing resurrection.

-

"..."

Chen Fan’s eyebrows rose slightly. ’Not bad luck.’ He’d hit the 10% chance for a Blue Level Building Blueprint. It was a support-type building.

He had no use for it at the moment.

He had yet to encounter a Ghost Object that could resurrect.

But it was better to be safe than sorry, and he wouldn’t complain about having too many things like this.

He crushed the Building Blueprint in his hand.

A new buildable option, [Rebirth Tower], appeared on his Eternal Night Lord Panel. He planned to build it in the Mortal Realm’s Nameless Mountain.

As for now...

He looked towards another building.

[Soul-Devouring Sculpture].

It was a Building Blueprint he had obtained from the Pavilion Master of the World Pavilion. Its effect was to increase the stamina recovery speed of those within a hundred-meter radius of the sculpture.

That was only one of its effects.

The effect after upgrading it to Max Level was:

-

[Max Level Effect ’Careful Calculation’: The Ghost Stone consumption of attack-type buildings placed within the sculpture’s range will be further reduced.]
