Chapter 23 Upgrading and Expanding the Army
The system is still broadcasting.
[Divine Seal Lich]
Born from the long-gone darkness, a departed soul, once blessed by the gods, fell into a silent slumber after a devastating battle. Until fresh life reawakened its decaying body, and its silent heartbox was once again bathed in the moonlight of the dark night.

Chen Shuang looked at the two people who were looking at each other.
The elf opened his round eyes without any expression. After looking away, he opened his arms towards Chen Shuang and said in a baby voice, "Hug me."
The lich pondered carefully for a moment, then paused briefly before shaking his head. "It must be an illusion. How could that person become so young and weak..."
"And he still has this expression of wagging his tail and begging for mercy."
Chen Shuang: “…”
What does it mean to be silent if you don't speak, but to make a big splash when you speak?
She looked at the elf, and the other party's short hands stiffened for a moment. Although they quickly adjusted themselves, she still noticed that the elf glanced at the lich very subtly.
So don’t offend a petty boss.
The god glanced at the familiar lich and ignored him directly. He snorted softly, and lush vines instantly poked their heads out of the room, skillfully wrapped the young elf's body and came downstairs.
The elf stretched out his five little fingers, grasped two of Chen Shuang's fingers, shook them left and right, and then looked at the taciturn lich with a show-off look.
This is called strategy, pretending to be cute and eating your rice!
The dark god who once sat high on the throne did not remember every one of his followers clearly, but he still had some impression of this lich who stuttered and was too nice.
Especially the lich waiting in the dark temple with a green-ringed poisonous caterpillar on his head. Not only the gods, but other colleagues were also impressed.
Because the orc colleague who had praised his caterpillar pet as cute and touched the caterpillar was already foaming at the mouth and twitching all over as he was carried out.
Colleagues: Wow, this lich is quite something.
Chen Shuang, who witnessed the lich yelling at his boss in person, said: Hiss, this lich is quite something.
A shadow quietly stopped at the corner of the second-floor stairs.
Chen Shuang seemed to have sensed something. She glanced at He Li, whose face turned pale after seeing the lich. Instead of greeting him, she changed the subject and asked the lich, "Did you help He Li drive away the monsters that were hunting her?"
The lich nodded.
Having left the topic of gods, the lich became uneasy again. He said, "Humans are fragile. Life is precious, so we must protect it."
The first time the lich opened his eyes from the darkness, he saw a caterpillar. The second time he opened his eyes from the darkness, he saw humans.
He was a body that had long been dead, so he was particularly envious of the surging vitality and wanted to protect these fragile lives and not let this freshness be torn apart by wailing.
Chen Shuang patted the lich's shoulder and said, "The idea is positive, but the approach is not very reasonable. You should first let her know that you have no ill intentions."
The lich was puzzled. "If I were, with ill intentions, she wouldn't survive more than three heartbeats."
So this is what you feel when you chase someone for two days and two nights and almost tire them to death.
The lich continued, "And I'll give you fruit."
He thought of the red fruit that had been rejected time and again, and felt a little lost.
Shen Shuang took back the hand that was patting his shoulder.
Although, that thing does look abnormal.
That yellowed, bumped, and even blackened fruit looks more like a poison that can bring eternal peace to people in one go rather than replenishing sugar and water.
Although it was a good intention, the person involved did not have a good memory. Chen Shuang looked up at the girl on the stairs and said, "He Li, did you hear that? It was actually a misunderstanding."
"Ah... okay," He Li seemed to have just come back to her senses, looked at the lich hesitantly, and suddenly remembered the horror and bumps on the road, and her stomach suddenly felt a little cramp.
Then what is the panic she has been experiencing these past two days? Does it mean she can endure hardship?
"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Lich," she gritted her teeth. "I hope you can actively communicate in the future to avoid misunderstandings. Also, don't sleep in such shallow graves in the future. At least find a pit several hundred meters wide and jump into it. Fill it with soil so that you won't be kicked awake by ordinary humans."
It’s best to go to sleep and never get up in this life!
The lich nodded and really began to think about the human's suggestion: "Okay, that's a good idea. I'll pay attention next time!"
Hurley felt her stomach ache even more.
The other party didn't understand her yin and yang, and was still very angry!
"It's time for dinner. This is today's fish and meat rice. Come up and try it." Chen Shuang decisively pushed away He Li, who was about to turn evil and hesitated to speak, and then looked at the lich: "I will soon start repairing the Dark Temple again. You can go back to your rooms first, or you can stay here."
No one said a word. The elf tightened his grip on her fingers, and the lich waited in silence.
Well, it seems everyone is interested.
The newly obtained upgrade expansion card floated in front of her eyes. Chen Shuang reached out and touched it lightly. Starting from the word "expansion" on the card, the entire card gradually decomposed and spread from the inside out.
【You used the upgrade expansion card】
[Dark Temple Upgrade Completed]
[Congratulations, the current building has been upgraded]
[Faction Stability +3000]
After the second upgrade, the camp stability value is 2000, and after the third upgrade it is 3000. It seems that the further the development goes, the greater the increase in the camp stability value will be.
There are no major changes in the interior decoration, but the space feels much wider. It was originally about the size of a basketball court, but now it is about three times the size.
Chen Shuang pushed the door open and walked out.
Sure enough, a fourth floor was added on top of the original three floors. At first glance, one began to feel the oppression of standing under a tall building.
After looking at the Dark Temple, she turned directly to the open space behind. As soon as she stepped over, a rich color reflected in her pupils.
A huge circular pool appeared on the open space not far away, filled with dark blue liquid mixed with golden light. It was flowing slowly at some unknown frequency, splashing out a few scattered starlights from time to time.
"It's magic power," the lich following closely behind said seriously, "Magic power that's so rich it's liquefied."
The entire magic pool covers an area much larger than the Dark Temple, which is very consistent with the description of being bulky. However, the huge amount of magic stored in it has offset its huge and bulky disadvantages.
Next to the magic pool are two equally huge workshops.
Fully automatic construction workshop and fully automatic food workshop.
The exterior is a flat white wall. Walking into the building, you will see rows and rows of magical instruments of the same size. There are several control panels in the center, and further away is the material storage area.
Chen Shuang grabbed a handful of rice from her backpack and threw it into the material funnel. She pushed the machine, and some rich magic power flowed into the pipe connected to the outside. The machine then heated up, and within two seconds, a fluffy and soft white magic bread was produced.
Although it is unknown why rice was thrown in instead of wheat, bread can still be produced. However, it is a precious food after all and is considered a strategic reserve material in the Lost Land.
She thought about it, caught a fish, cleaned it, and tried to throw it into the food workshop. The machine operated violently for a while, and then spit out a few fish-scented breads.
Shen Shuang glanced at the lich.
The lich hesitated for a moment, then threw his little red fruit in.
This time, the machine froze for a few seconds, as if it had eaten something it disliked. It nearly vomited the fruit several times, but as more magic power was injected into it, it managed to swallow the fruit with difficulty...
Then he spat out the red and black bread.
Chen Shuang: Tsk.
The truth is, everything can be bread.
After a simple experiment, it was found that magic bread is indeed easier to store and can provide more sufficient energy. An adult only needs to consume one loaf of bread a day.
After coming to the conclusion that magic bread was indeed a good thing, Chen Shuang directly activated his spiritual sea.
【You are using "Creation of Everything"】
A huge magic circle slowly unfolded on the ground, and Chen Shuang's sight was suddenly pulled into another dimension, and her pupils reflected the changes in the world.
The starry sky falls rapidly before my eyes, a wild flower withers and then sprouts and grows again, life goes from birth to death, the river turns upside down, the sun and the moon are reversed, and finally collapses into a grain of dust.
That is the origin of all things.
She "saw" the soil having a heartbeat, "heard" the rubble conveying wishes, and even the wind blowing past her ears had a warm breath.
He stretched out his hand and gently touched a certain place. A dazzling light spread out from the place where it touched, and the heart hanging in the air gradually vibrated with the injection of power.
The stiff skin became elastic like a human's, and the lifeless eyes gradually came into focus.
The dust has settled.
The clay man was the first to bow: "Praise you, merciful priest."
The rubble and wind followed suit, imitating the earth and repeating, "Praise you, merciful priest."
They are extremely curious about their own lives and are full of awe and love for the great being that created them.
The soil bowed its head: "We will contribute everything to you."
Perhaps Chen Shuang had added some strange thoughts when he initiated the creation of all things, but the soil, which had seemed calm just a moment ago, suddenly turned around and scowled at his two companions. He said in a loud voice, "Work comes first, health comes second. For the sake of the priest, I will even sacrifice my life!"
And...it rhymes quite well.
Chen Shuang then saw the remaining two Creators' eyes suddenly become determined, and they shouted slogans at the top of their lungs: "Work first, health second, for the priest, even life is at stake!!!"
Chen Shuang: “…”
She immediately covered her face.
Can it be remade?
She is really not a black-hearted factory!
After many unsuccessful attempts at persuasion, Chen Shuang could only watch as Ni Tu brought the two creators into the workshop. Then the machines began to rumble, and from time to time there were a few slogans that shook the mountains and rivers.
“What’s our slogan!”
"For the sake of the priest, I would rather die!!!"
Ah, it feels like the air is starting to burn.
*
The next day, when He Li saw the various fragrant breads on the table, her eyes widened. The heir of the Karl family stuttered for the first time: "So white..."
She looked at the breads of various colors and changed her topic, saying, "How are white, green, red, and black breads made?"
Hurley looked at the bread piled on the table and the boxes filled with bread piled up outside the house, and couldn't help but be amazed.
The most important thing is, lots of it.
She gathered herself and asked, "How much more of this high-quality bread can be produced?"
Chen Shuang roughly guessed He Li's intention, calculated the growth of the seeds after landing, and the processing speed of the workshop, and said directly: "A lot, so much that it is endless."
Hurley sat back suddenly and couldn't suppress her laughter.
Since who knows how many years ago, the land of the Bright Continent has been unable to grow enough food to feed life.
He Li had seen in ancient books the prosperous agriculture hundreds of years ago, and had also heard the wizard supported by her family lament that the balance of fate had been broken and everything would come to an end.
Nowadays, food is scarce in the outside world, and even the direct descendants of the Karl family only have a little vegetable soup and a few slices of butter bread every day.
She was taken to the Lost Land because she was competing with her political enemies for food and supplies.
Hurley looked at the table full of food, and a fire suddenly ignited in her eyes. She moved closer, and her brows were filled with indelible youthful arrogance.
"Your Excellency, I think you should have a well-trained army with strong armor, don't you?"
