133: Empowerment

He checked each type of mecha and found that the upper limit for empowerment varied.

Mechanical Wolf: 5 points

Floating Turret: 10 points

Flamethrower: 5 points

Plasma Cannon: 10 points

Missile Drone: 10 points

Frigate: 5 points

Radar: 20 points

Armored Vehicle: Cannot be empowered.

......

Huh?

Han Huohuo didn't understand this pattern, and what did it mean that the Armored Vehicle couldn't be empowered?

Armored Vehicles can also be self-driving, right?

Why could other mecha be empowered, but the Armored Vehicle couldn't?

Han Huohuo speculated for a while, guessing that maybe his mecha had different levels of Artificial Intelligence?

Was the Armored Vehicle's automatic capability too poor?

As a typical slacker, Han Huohuo quickly gave up, not wanting to understand the profound principles behind these things; he was satisfied as long as he knew how to use them.

While he was studying the spiritual energy, Northern Darkness flew over with Mu Jiu.

Landing on the ground, Northern Darkness happily spread his wings.

Then Han Huohuo's eyelids twitched.

In the empowerment list, he saw Northern Darkness's option, but not his own or Mu Jiu's. Northern Darkness could be empowered, but Heroes couldn't?

[Mixed-Blood Kunpeng]: Detected a spirit beast with ancient bloodline. Spiritual energy can be used to increase bloodline purity, with an upper limit of 100,000 spiritual energy.

Han Huohuo was shocked.

The name was inconsistent with the system; this name was likely given based on bloodline. Northern Darkness possessed the bloodline of the ancient divine beast Kunpeng, but the bloodline was too thin, which was why it looked the way it did now.

Spiritual energy could purify bloodlines?

That was a bit impressive!

The upper limit of 100,000 points wasn't actually much, after all, there was only one Northern Darkness, not an entire army that needed empowerment.

Spiritual energy would gather one point per second.

100,000 points was only 100,000 seconds!

Just over a day.

The family came out of the Mecha Factory, Han Huohuo felt happy and strolled through his city. Han Huohuo and Mu Jiu walked hand-in-hand on the street, with the massive Northern Darkness following behind them, looking proudly.

An immortal couple, nothing more.

All the residents envied them greatly.

The city's current population limit was 100,000, and with Mu Jiu's talent doubling the population limit, it became a limit of 200,000 people.

According to Han Huohuo's standard, this meant he could have 100,000 residents.

Originally, the setup was one-third residents, one-third mechanical workers, and one-third mecha troops.

However, Han Xin had the skill 'More the Merrier', which directly halved the population requirement for troops.

Furthermore, the surrounding resources had been developed to their limit; more mechanical workers would be useless.

100,000 residents was conservative; even recruiting over 100,000 residents now wouldn't be a problem.

This was already the scale of a small city.

Of course, since the city had just leveled up, it would take some time for the population to replenish.

The Great Qian Dynasty was scrambling for territory everywhere, in chaos. He believed it wouldn't be long before this place was overcrowded.

Unknowingly, they walked to the entrance of the Tulip Merchant Group.

Supervisor Yan Yun wasn't there; he was said to be in Wanqing City negotiating a big deal. The Tulip Merchant Group had grown much larger and was making a fortune in Tongtian City.

Several managers warmly received the Lord.

Han Huohuo casually asked if there were any recent problems or if they needed support, and everyone said everything was very good and there were no issues.

Han Huohuo smiled and left, wandering around his territory.

His sense of satisfaction was strong.

This was the empire he had fought for with his life. He looked at Mu Jiu's belly and wondered why this little girl wasn't getting pregnant? Such a vast empire needed an heir.

Moreover, a crystal was still hanging above Han Huohuo's head. After he reached Five-Rotation, his lifespan might soon dry up.

This seemed to be a mechanism!

A mechanism specifically designed to limit foreign Lords.

Han Huohuo didn't know if he could solve this problem when the time came, but historically, only Hagg came close to succeeding, which seemed related to time-space shards, but wasn't complete.

The next day, Han Huohuo went to Mingyu City again.

A dock had also been built here. Large numbers of fishermen made a living by fishing in the Tongtian River. With frigates guarding the dock, everyone felt very secure.

This city had a much smaller population than Tongtian City, only a few thousand people, but it was more secluded and the scenery was more beautiful.

There was only one reason for the small population: no industrial zone had been built here. Ordinary people couldn't make money in this city.

Mingyu City didn't have a Main Camp, only a City Lord's Mansion, which was vacant. Without a suitable Hero to serve as City Lord, Mu Jiu managed it concurrently.

By the river, Mu Jiu built herself a small courtyard.

The courtyard was built on a small hillside, with only a small house and a courtyard inside. This small dwelling was relatively simple, and one could see the great river while sitting in the courtyard.

For some reason.

Han Huohuo even preferred this small courtyard because it could awaken memories from a long time ago.

It was too much like his old home on Earth.

A house by the mountain, with a big river in the distance.

A few small wild cats were playing in the courtyard. Seeing their master return, they weren't scared until they saw Northern Darkness land in the courtyard. Then they became flustered and hid at Han Huohuo's feet, looking up curiously at this behemoth.

How proud Northern Darkness was, he wouldn't even look at a few small wild cats.

Standing in the courtyard preening his wings, the kittens also became bolder. After watching for a while and realizing there was no danger, they actually ran over and rubbed against Northern Darkness's large paws.

Northern Darkness was dozing and didn't care at all. The playful kittens even climbed onto Northern Darkness's back.

Mu Jiu set up a table in the courtyard and also set up the barbecue grill. Han Huohuo had designed this grill originally, and Mu Jiu found it very easy to use, so she kept it.

Soon, a guard jogged over, carrying a box of fish and various seasonings.

The two of them grilled fish together around the barbecue grill.

Han Huohuo remembered the first time they came here, they ate grilled fish. Looking at Mu Jiu's exquisite face, he seemed a little lost in thought.

If life could always be like this.

How wonderful that would be!

When the fish was grilled, the kittens suddenly found Northern Darkness wasn't fun anymore and all ran over, meowing anxiously.

Mu Jiu cut open the fish meat, feeding Han Huohuo on one side and the kittens on the other. She found it amusing and giggled, she also liked this kind of life.

The next day, Han Huohuo took Northern Darkness to the Armory to empower him.

[Nether Kunpeng]: This is a young bird named Northern Darkness, still in the growth stage. Its bloodline has been purified through baptism, becoming more pure. After growing up, it can transform into an ancient giant beast.

[Combat Power]: Strength 120, Defense 100, Stamina 200, Intelligence 20.

[Special Skills]: Dragon Intimidation, Super Flight, Hardness, Giant, Pure Blood.

The biggest change wasn't the increased attributes, but the increased upper limit for future growth.

It had already surpassed Dragons!
