16: Build castles and epic spiritual fields

Li Feng came to the Lord Altar, preparing to build a castle.

Unlike other buildings,

as the most core building, the castle must be built relying on the Lord Altar.

【You have built a castle, consuming a total of: wood * 10000, stone * 10000, iron * 10000】

In an instant, more than half of the resources Li Feng had painstakingly collected were consumed.

Rumble!

The earth's structure began to change, and with the Lord Altar as the center, a huge foundation quickly formed.

Immediately after, the castle structure formed and began to be erected.

Li Feng watched with his own eyes, as if invisible workers were operating at tens of thousands of times the speed.

In reality, a magnificent castle,

even with technological assistance, would take several years from groundbreaking to completion.

But only an hour passed.

His castle was completed.

As for him and the Lord Altar, they were located in the castle's basement.

“Congratulations, you are the first Lord in this competition zone to build a castle, assessment points +100.”

【You received rewards: Gold Coins * 10000, Epic-grade Spirit Field * 1, Tier 6 Gem * 1, Tier 6 Troops Blueprint * 1】

“Your glorious deeds will be announced to the entire competition zone. Do you wish to remain anonymous?”

“No, not anonymous.”

“Competition Zone Announcement: Congratulations to Lord Li Feng 【Calamity Controller】, for being the first Lord to build a castle, assessment points +100.”

As soon as the competition zone announcement was made, all the Lords were in an uproar.

“Holy cow, it’s only the second day, and someone has already built a castle? This is ridiculously absurd, like a mother opening the door for her ridiculous child, ridiculous beyond belief!”

“My people, who understands? I’m still living like a caveman.”

“Wuwuwu, I regret not studying hard back then. Without blueprints, I can’t even build a house and am still living like a savage, with the sky as my blanket and the earth as my bed.”

“Li Feng, you're awesome!”

“…”

The world channel was noisy, and Li Feng was touring his castle.

This was a retro Gothic-style castle, with a marble texture. Its scale was decent, more than enough to accommodate over a thousand people.

The castle had a three-story structure, with only one passage for entry and exit, making it easy to deploy Troops for defense.

Below the three-story castle, there were also two underground levels.

The first underground level consisted of rows of dungeons, which could be used to imprison creatures.

Once imprisoned, creatures of Tier 3 and below would have their combat power instantly weakened by one hundred percent.

Simply put, they would be rendered useless.

The second underground level was a vast space covering one million square meters.

One million square meters is equivalent to one square kilometer, which is the size of two of the world's smallest countries.

Both the first and second underground levels were spaces attached to the castle and did not exist within the main space of the Endless Continent.

Li Feng's Lord Altar and Troops Altars were all located here.

Previously, his altar was exposed to the air.

If a certain creature possessed stealth abilities, there was a chance he could have his Lord Altar secretly destroyed.

But with the castle's protection, unless powerful forces directly destroyed all his Troops,

stealing his home?

Absolutely impossible!

These were just the incidental values of the castle.

Its inherent effect could enhance the strength of Troops, heroes, and even the Lord.

After the castle was completed, all units, including Li Feng, felt a surge of energy, and their overall strength received a considerable boost.

A basic castle's influence covered a radius of up to 10 kilometers.

The improvement to his overall strength was simply too obvious.

In the future, the more Troops Li Feng had, the more exaggerated the boost would be.

It could be said that the importance of the castle was in no way inferior to a War Treasure, and perhaps even surpassed it.

After a tour, Li Feng returned to the second underground level.

In the empty underground space, there were only a few altars, along with a wooden house and a warehouse, making it seem quite lonely.

To prevent them from feeling lonely, he decided to place the Epic-grade Spirit Field he had just acquired in this area as well.

【Spirit Field】

Quality: Epic-grade

Effect: Crop growth speed * 500%, crop yield * 500%.

Speaking of Lords and territories, people always involuntarily think of farming.

Spirit Fields are used for farming.

The food collected from monsters was all meat.

Although meat was delicious, eating too much could become tiresome.

At this time, people would think of eating some refreshing vegetables and fruits.

On the Endless Continent, Lords naturally had various rules accompanying them.

For example: farming.

Lords could not farm by simply reclaiming a fertile piece of land like the natives of the Endless Continent.

Lords who wanted to farm had to rely on Spirit Fields.

Li Feng waved his hand and placed the Spirit Field.

He saw a large area of land in front of him begin to soften.

Eventually, it transformed into a field that looked very fertile.

This Spirit Field was a standard square, with sides of 100 meters, covering an area of 10,000 square meters, taking up a vast amount of space.

The soil in the Spirit Field was very loose and emitted faint golden light.

Crops could grow quickly and yield more because of this golden light.

The higher the tier of the Spirit Field, the more golden light it emitted, and the greater the boost.

Li Feng had learned from books that Mythical-grade Spirit Fields even had their entire soil emitting golden light, increasing growth speed by 1000% and yield by 1000%.

“Although I have a Spirit Field, I don’t have any crop seeds to plant. I hope I can collect some from monster bodies later,” he murmured.

Not only could food and monster materials be collected from monster bodies, but there was also a chance to collect crop seeds, and even spirit herb seeds.

However, it was difficult to collect them from low-tier monsters.

Li Feng searched the trading market, and currently, no Lords were selling crop seeds or spirit herb seeds.

Closing the trading market, he took out another blueprint, a Tier 6 Troops Blueprint.

To his surprise, the Troops Blueprint he received this time happened to be for an insectoid Troops, so he didn't even need to activate his talent.

【Flying Mantis】

Race: Insectoid

Tier: Six

Construction Requirements: wood * 8000, stone * 8000, iron * 8000, Tier 6 Gem * 1

…“I didn’t expect my luck to be so good; it’s actually a Flying Mantis, which is a flying Troops.”

Li Feng was fond of the Flying Mantis blueprint.

The Flying Mantis was considered a top-tier Troops even among Tier 6 Troops.

Not only because they possessed powerful attributes, but also because they were one of the few flying Troops.

In the early stages of a Lord’s development, flying Troops had a significant advantage over ground Troops.

“All the resources were used to build the castle, and there aren’t enough left.”

Although Li Feng really wanted to build the Flying Mantis Altar, he didn't have enough resources right now, so he could only temporarily put that idea aside...
