Chapter 102 Finale (Part 2)
The immortal cultivation sects near the Shiwan Mountains sent their cultivators to the front lines to prevent monsters from breaking out of the mountains and disturbing the mortals.
Da Zhou and Dagan originally deployed heavy troops, originally for the purpose of fighting each other, but unexpectedly it has now developed this function.
In a sense, we were prepared for this.
Compared to ordinary monks who are terrified and afraid of a war breaking out, the players are much more active.
At this time, there are many tasks they can take on, and each force has a lot of things to do, whether it is war preparation, reconnaissance or combat.
Players' strength is improving more rapidly, and more and more players are choosing to advance directly instead of getting stuck at the foundation-building stage.
Only those players who have plans and intentions for the future will lay a solid foundation at this stage so that they can improve themselves in all aspects.
Just like the Huanyu Market, it is a bustling scene.
Due to the influx of monks and players, the market on just one main street could not meet everyone's needs.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation all need to be expanded. Many monks came through the teleportation array, and their first reaction was: "There are so many people!"
The wide streets were crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.
Although the teahouses and inns had clearly cast space magic and were much more spacious than expected from the outside, they were still packed with guests and far exceeded their capacity.
Even the nine-story Baibao Pavilion was overcrowded. There were so many customers on each floor that they could not handle them all. They had to temporarily transfer people and goods from Taichang Market and also hired players to serve as temporary receptionists.
The restaurant was so busy that not only was there a shortage of seats, but they were even out of ingredients.
Therefore, various tasks and orders were sent to the players, and the purchase price began to increase at the same time. This made the players who had accumulated a lot of monsters, spiritual medicines, and spiritual fruits raw materials smile from ear to ear.
The sales of medicine stores, magic weapon stores, bookstores, and talisman stores have increased significantly. Basically, as long as the items can be put on display, people will buy them.
At this critical juncture, everyone wants to improve their strength and ability to survive as much as possible.
If a person dies, the money is of no use.
At the same time, there was no vacant space in the planned street stall area, so the Earth Temple received quite a lot of requests. Many players and monks had no stalls available, so they could only urge the Earth Temple to expand the scale of construction.
In the Huanyu Market, you must set up a stall in a designated location and pay a very low stall fee, which seems more formal.
But because there were too many people in the market, some monks and players set up their stalls in the open space outside the Universe Market.
The whole market looks prosperous and thriving!
At the same time, the expansion work in the areas surrounding the market is in full swing.
When cultivators start to build infrastructure, the speed is very fast and the noise is very low.
As long as the silent formation is set up properly, it won't disturb others.
Therefore, when Lin Xiang returned, he was faced with various construction plans and planning drawings, which made him a little confused.
As expected of an infrastructure maniac, he not only explored the surrounding areas in just a few days, but also came up with the most suitable expansion plan.
This coincides with Lin Xiang's original plan.
He initially wanted to take it step by step, so as not to take too big a step or expand too exaggeratedly and no one would move in, fearing that an empty city or a ghost town would appear.
There are too many people in the Universal Market now, and many cultivators and players have flocked to Dongshan Village.
If this place is not expanded, there will be more people than ants.
"You were away these few days, so we discussed with several other NPCs in the land temple and decided to do the planning and design first, instead of starting construction rashly." Wu Hao was responsible for acting as the liaison, and he presented various prospects.
Now the construction is underway only for the businesses on the street, and they all see the profitability.
As long as there is space, you can make money by selling anything.
Those shop owners who did not build high-rise buildings in the first place are now regretting it and are now busy adding on top of them.
The Huanyu Market stipulates that the tallest building cannot exceed nine floors, and there are also restrictions on the total height.
He didn't want skyscrapers to appear in the world of cultivation, as that would be incongruous.
It's okay to have a tall tower occasionally, but if a building like a treasure pavilion has a hundred floors, it seems outrageous.
Previously, places like the blacksmith shop only had one floor, and the upper floors were empty, but now they are undergoing major renovations.
Many players are still joking that they are civil engineering majors in real life, but after entering the game, they actually started to use cultivation and immortal methods to continue on the civil engineering route in ancient times.
"This is our plan for the Immortal City. The city will be built all the way to the Longxi River, and the river will be turned into a moat. We've done some research and it seems we can widen the river and set up the appropriate formations within it."
"It's a cargo river in normal times, but it can be transformed into a powerful defensive formation in times of war."
"If the Immortal City continues to expand in the future, the Longxi River can be turned into an inland river and continue to advance towards the Shiwan Mountains. But now that the war with the demon tribe has begun, there's no need to build the city in such a frontier area. For now, it's sufficient."
Wu Hao introduced these designs carefully. In his plan, the area of the fairy city was very large, which was definitely not comparable to the small size of today.
Various areas are set up separately. For example, all the sect stations in the commercial area will be moved to the other side.
The area of the market town has expanded tenfold, integrating various shops and the daily necessities of the monks.
Dongshan Village is being expanded as the core area where mortals gather. They can also live in the fairy city. If the cultivators wish, they can live next to each other without affecting each other.
Even the stall area was separated and placed next to the commercial street, becoming a super-large sales area, and monks could enter through different entrances.
There are a total of 3,000 stalls planned for the first floor. If all the stalls on the first floor are used up, the second and third floors can be built, similar to a large market.
The stall fees for stalls in different locations will definitely be different. If you are willing to rent for a long time, it will be cheaper, and if you are willing to rent for a short time, it will definitely be more expensive.
The Immortal City needs to set up special personnel to manage the market, and also set up formations and restrictions.
"There's a hilly area to the north. If we don't plan to flatten it, we can turn it into a municipal park and spiritual farmland. We can design the spiritual farmland into flower beds and lawns, allowing residents to relax and play in this park space, while also providing space for planting and breeding."
A city cannot be entirely made up of buildings, there must be places for leisure and entertainment.
It would be a bit of a waste to build an ordinary garden. It would be better to make full use of it, plant some spiritual herbs, flowers and fruit trees, and raise some ornamental fairy birds and beasts.
Lin Xiang nodded and approved of the design.
"You can let everyone watch from a distance, but you can't let them touch these elixirs. There will always be some people who would resort to crooked means."
Human nature cannot be tested, so it is better to weld it directly at the source.
The Sumeru Mustard Seed Technique comes in handy at this time, so that each building does not need to occupy too much land on the surface and can have a spacious interior area.
"Then let's get started now. I'll first outline the roads and large areas, and I'll leave the detailed operations to you."
Lin Xiang doesn't have much merit, but he has plenty of divine power from incense.
Now he even vaguely felt that the storage of the divine power of these incense sticks was about to reach its limit, and he had to advance to accommodate more incense sticks.
Using the excess incense and divine power in building the fairy city can help you enter the city god stage.
Obviously, the basic condition for a City God is to have a city. If there is not even a city, how can he be considered a City God?
Wu Hao asked, "Are you going to do it yourself now?"
"Of course. I'll notify them first so they won't be frightened." Lin Xiang didn't want to cause a disturbance. Building the fairy city would consume divine power from incense, but corresponding divine power would also be collected during the construction process. It was possible that the power would not decrease, but would increase instead.
Wu Hao nodded. He had seen the video of Lin Xiang building Nanshan Village before.
How can the effect compare to seeing it with the naked eye?
He just wanted to take this opportunity to see how powerful Lin Xiang was by entering the game early and becoming an NPC in the game, and how much help he could provide to himself and others in exploring the game world.
Lin Xiang then accurately conveyed his voice to every cultivator, player, and ordinary person: "Please do not panic, everyone. This sacrificial spirit is about to start a large-scale construction of the Universal Immortal City. There is no need for any preparation or defense. Just don't run around."
Now that the Universe Cave Mansion has been determined and the name of the market town has been given, the Immortal City naturally needs to follow the same naming rules.
As soon as Lin Xiang finished speaking, nearly 10,000 people inside and outside the Huanyu Market were in an uproar.
"Is this true?"
"There's actually a city to build an immortal city here?"
“What a grand gesture!”
"I want to see how he does it."
"Great, it's time for a Xiuxian City or something like that. I've never experienced such a busy and cramped place."
"Hurry, hurry, it's time to see the God of Land appear!"
"Immortal City? Are we going to live in an Immortal City from now on? I can't even dream of it!"
Although we are told not to run around everywhere, people like to join in the fun and will not hide anything.
They all came outside and stood together in dense crowds.
Just as the monks were about to fly into the air, they were knocked down by the huge air pressure. Lin Xiang deliberately set restrictions to prevent everyone from flying too high so as not to affect themselves.
The only one who can fly in the sky is the Black Dragon!
The black dragon, which had successfully transformed, swayed its body in the sky. Lin Xiang stood on top of it, controlling the nearby rugged ground to quickly flatten out.
Wide streets extended out near the Huanyu Market, and on the south bank of the Longxi River, there were continuous high walls and city gates.
The fairy city he built is square, with square roads and building layouts, which looks very suitable for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
After the roads are built, houses will be built.
The buildings in commercial areas, industrial areas, breeding areas, planting areas, residential areas, leisure and entertainment areas, etc. are of different styles, as if someone had placed them under the soil long ago.
They slowly rise from the ground like lotus flowers emerging from the water.
For normal construction, you need to lay the foundation first, and then build up layer by layer.
But in Lin Xiang's fairy city, the buildings first have roofs, then various beams and pillars appear, and finally the base slowly appears.
It goes against common sense that people are familiar with!
It should have been a time-consuming and labor-intensive project, but under Lin Xiang's hands it became an easy task.
The streets and houses have been completed, and the rest is just soft furnishings.
Those are not what Lin Xiang is good at.
Then he moved the teleportation array to the center of the fairy city, so that the cultivators from the surrounding sects and markets could be directly transported to the city center, which was extremely convenient.
He even reserved several teleportation locations in order to connect to more immortal cities and distant sects, so that monks and players in other countries can also be teleported over.
The newly built city didn't look very good in appearance, so Lin Xiang continued to scatter handfuls of spiritual herbs, flowers, and medicine seeds.
Then he opened up the spiritual energy that was bound in the Universe Cave Heaven, allowing it to flow rapidly into these areas.
He lightly performed a small cloud and rain technique, and it turned into a dark cloud that covered the entire fairy city.
The spiritual rain dripped down, and at the same time, the land god's innate skill of a good harvest was activated. The flowers and plants that were planted immediately sprouted and poked their heads out, adding a touch of green to the fairy city.
Then Lin Xiang transplanted the spiritual trees growing in the cave and turned them into street trees, with a big tree every ten meters or so.
The small pond originally dug out behind the land temple was also expanded by Lin Xiang into a small lake. The clear water flows together with the Longxi River, circling the city and then returning to the Longxi River.
The clam monster excitedly occupied the small lake. The spiritual lotus and fairy water lilies were lined up around it, and there was also a small pavilion in the middle of the lake.
All these changes happened right before his eyes, and it looked like Lin Xiang was indeed a god.
At the same time, Lin Xiang moved the land temple in Huanyu Market to the center of the city, adjacent to the teleportation array.
When players and monks stepped into other places from the Universe Market, the seal characters on the land temple suddenly changed.
The Earth God Temple has become the City God Temple!
The area of the temple has expanded tenfold, with carved beams and painted rafters, and many new buildings have been added.
Even the statues in the main hall have changed. Originally, the statue of Lin Xiang was a scholar, but now it was wearing the official uniform issued by the Heavenly Court, and its overall temperament changed greatly.
Anyone who sees this will have to call out to the City God!
In the sky, Lin Xiang's clothes and accessories all changed. Not only did he build a fairy city, but he also doubled the area under his jurisdiction. Even his strength and magical powers were greatly improved.
The subdued pets and subordinates also gained great benefits from this promotion. There was even fairy music coming from the sky, and a crane flew to his side with a Ganoderma lucidum in its beak.
[Ding, congratulations to the player for being promoted from the Land God to the City God...]
Lin Xiang was a little dazed because he saw the prompt on his game panel. He was confirmed as a player by the game system?
So, can we log off now?
Lin Xiang in the sky flashed directly back to the Universe Cave Heaven. He sat on the cushion with an uneasy mood, and then clicked the newly appeared offline button.
His vision suddenly went dark...
The author has something to say:
This article ends here.
I am grateful to the readers who have read this far, because this article completely collapsed in the middle and late stages, and the author has no way to save this novel. It is completely beyond the author's writing scope and has gone off track.
Originally it was the Fourth Calamity type and infrastructure, but the Fourth Calamity players almost disappeared on the author's side, and even there are not many infrastructure elements left.
It seems that I still have to stay within my own writing comfort zone and area of expertise.
The new book "My Fantasy Beast Will Evolve" is a beast-taming novel with a female protagonist. It has received good reviews from readers. Friends who are interested can take a look.
Finally, I would like to thank the readers who have subscribed until now again and say sorry to you.
