"Your star-shaped shuttle airship is ready. Please board it as soon as possible."
Staring at the rather dilapidated lump of wood before him, Jiang Hao was dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief. He muttered, "Wood...wood?"
There aren't even seat belts?
Interstellar travel, bro!
Jiang Hao pointed to the small, dilapidated boat and asked the city lord of Jinling City, "Is it this, brother?"
The city lord of Jinling nodded and said, "Take a close look! Look at its material!"
Jiang Hao quickly cast a detection spell on a curved piece of wood on the hull.
The basic spirit wood has excellent hardness and toughness!
Lingyang Wood?
Wow, isn't this exactly what Jiang Hao and his group wanted to do?!
Jiang Hao quickly said, "I see this ship is made entirely of spirit yang wood. How about we hijack this airship? That should be enough, right?"
The city lord of Jinling immediately flew into a rage, pointing at Jiang Hao's nose and yelling, "Look at your pathetic self! This little broken boat, what can we build? We need to build a star-level shuttle warship! A warship! A warship! If you can't find enough Spirit Yang Wood this time, then you're out of luck..."
The city lord of Jinling initially intended to say that they didn't need to return, but quickly changed his mind, saying, "If you really can't find enough Spirit Yang Wood, you can plunder an airship when you come back."
The city lord of Jinling gave a wry smile and said, "But I'm afraid that we will also be blacklisted by the human race. If that happens, we will never be able to get any help from the human race again."
Yun Xinghe scoffed and said, "Help? You want help with plundering interstellar shuttles? You should be grateful you're not blasted to smithereens by the human imperial expeditionary force! A vassal interstellar realm of the Jackal Empire once did this, and guess what happened to that realm?"
Of the eleven people present, ten all looked at Yun Xinghe.
Yun Xinghe clicked his tongue a few times and said, "The Imperial Expeditionary Force directly dispatched a multi-star warship and hundreds of heavy star-level warships. After traversing the skies above that realm, they wiped that realm off the Spirit Ruins map. The Jackal Empire didn't dare utter a single word!"
My goodness, that's ruthless!
Jiang Hao's lips twitched, but he couldn't utter a single word. The city lord of Jinling City wasn't in much better shape; his face was deathly pale, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. The others also looked unwell, trembling like leaves due to their cowardice.
"Ahem, everyone, hurry up and board the ship. I wish you a triumphant return. Remember, once you get there, go find the Spirit Yang Wood first. You can postpone the rest. Don't even think about developing this alien realm! When you're out and about, remember not to be too impetuous..."
Jiang Hao couldn't stand his nagging any longer, so he took the lead and boarded the airship, sitting in the first row on the left. The others also quickly boarded the ship. Ling Feng and Sun Zhi, who were tied up like crabs and were cowardly and afraid of death, were carried to an empty seat on the airship and immediately boarded the ship, finding their seats.
Jiang Hao suddenly remembered something, so he took out his Dingbei City building token, handed it to the city lord of Jinling City, and said, "Take it. If I don't come back, Dingbei City will be in your hands."
The mouths of the tens of thousands of sows twitched, and everyone else realized the seriousness of the situation, their expressions turning serious.
The city lord of Jinling City was silent for a few seconds, then laughed heartily and said, "Actually, that other realm isn't that dangerous. You should keep the city-building token; it might come in handy there."
The city lord of Jinling glanced at the tens of thousands of sows again and nodded almost imperceptibly. After taking a few steps back, he waved vigorously at Jiang Hao and the others.
The airship began to slowly ascend, and the city lord of Jinling City continued to wave vigorously. Jiang Hao craned his neck to look down, and the massive central castle platform slowly began to reveal its full form. Pieces of ice reflected the sunlight, making him feel slightly disoriented.
On the empty central castle platform, only the city lord of Jinling City remained. He had stopped waving, stood upright, and looked up at the sky.
The spaceship's roof began to slowly close, but Jiang Hao found Dingbei City increasingly blinding. Only when darkness completely enveloped him did Jiang Hao feel slightly better.
The moment the spaceship's canopy closed, it vanished into thin air. At the same time, a fleet of Flame Icewing Birds, carrying squads of guards, took to the air and sped towards Jinling City, south of Dingbei City.
Because all personnel responsible for the trials in the Hall of Heroes within the main city of the entire realm have been evacuated, and the replacements who should have been arranged by the Gnoll Empire are all absent, the entire Realm is facing a serious problem: no one can pass the trials in the Hall of Heroes and improve their rank!
In other words, the path for people to increase their attribute values by upgrading their rank has been completely cut off.
As the new world became more stable, even the monsters that suddenly sprang from the void began to decrease. While people could level up by hunting monsters in the wild, the attribute increases were ultimately linear, with the attribute gains per level being pitifully small.
Moreover, the monsters in the wild are real; killing one means one less to go. As for the previous dungeons? Those were merely data-driven methods used by Lingxu to cultivate uncivilized realms. With the merging of the two worlds, those dungeons have long since disappeared.
In other words, all of the character's attributes have been locked by the Gnoll Empire, and there is no possibility of further improvement.
Of course, the city lord of Jinling didn't mention these things to Jiang Hao. Even if he had, it would only have caused him unnecessary trouble.
In light of the above, the City Lord of Jinling, along with Tu Hai, the Chief, and the Rabbit Kingdom's think tank, unanimously decided to immediately launch a monster breeding operation in the northern ice plains. The monsters would be herded together according to their groups, allowing only high-star monsters, as well as those with a three-star Killing Heart or the King's Warrior attribute bonus, to be hunted in a limited manner.
At the same time, we hope that these monsters can grow stronger as soon as possible through reproduction.
On the same day, the Rabbit Kingdom was officially renamed the Dragon Kingdom. The Dragon Kingdom Strategic Research Department, the Dragon Kingdom Energy Crystal and Starship Research Institute, the Dragon Kingdom Monster Research and Breeding Institute, the Dragon Kingdom Animal and Plant Research Institute, the Dragon Kingdom Royal Guard, the Dragon Kingdom Talent Discovery and Cultivation Academy, the Dragon Kingdom Expeditionary Command and Expeditionary Force were established simultaneously.
In order to cope with the current survival crisis, the Dragon Kingdom, through the city lord of Jinling City, sent a joint invitation to all human forces and other races.
The invitation detailed the various predicaments currently facing this realm, as well as the threats posed from outside. It then elaborated on the Dragon Kingdom's current strength and preparations, along with future plans and countermeasures. Finally, it invited all forces to unite and jointly address the current realm crisis.
However, there were very few responses.
The city lord of Jinling City was not in a hurry.
Aside from one time when he secretly went to the energy crystal mine west of Jinling City, mined a few bronze-level energy crystals, and then fled back in a sorry state, he spent his days either visiting the research institute to check on the research of various aircraft or going to the academy to see what strange talents had emerged, living like a retired old cadre.
