53: Chapter 53 The People's Gratitude, Territory Upgrade

High-level meeting room of the Dragon Country.

"Emergency broadcast: Following the floods in Cambodia, a catastrophic earthquake exceeding magnitude 10, impossible to estimate, has occurred within Nepal. Over 100 kilometers of the Himalayas have collapsed, and it is estimated that one trillion tons of rock will pour into Nepal. We have not yet received an official response from Nepal; it is tentatively declared a fallen nation..."

"There are as many as 13 countries affected by this Arrival Night, and no news of survivors has been received yet..."

Chilling disaster reports flashed across the screen one after another.

Last night, a country was destroyed by natural disasters almost every few tens of minutes.

The entire population of the Dragon Country did not sleep all night; having experienced it twice, they knew how terrifying natural disasters were.

If there was the slightest mistake in the Forbidden Ground, the Dragon Country would also fall into a desperate situation.

Fortunately, Su Yang did not fail the expectations of the public, and the Dragon Country successfully made it through the first Arrival Night.

However, although they did not suffer from natural disasters again, the aftermath caused by the previous natural disasters had not yet passed.

The four southeastern provinces were still in the midst of disaster.

Large-scale power outages, collapsed road networks, and ground rescue teams were finding it difficult to move.

The high-level officials of the Dragon Country had to deal with mountains of disaster reports every day, doing their utmost to mobilize resources for rescue.

In the midst of the busyness, an intelligence officer rushed into the meeting room.

He waved the documents in his hand, his face filled with surprise and joy.

"Large sections of the road network in Jiangnan Province have been cleared! Many thermal power plants have resumed operations, and a large amount of supplies have appeared out of thin air!"

The officers in the meeting room were stunned, feeling as if they were dreaming.

The General of the Military Department was the first to react, "Resource Materialization!"

"Su Yang has taken first place in the development rankings and obtained the power of Resource Materialization!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the officers instantly realized and immediately widened their eyes.

"Is, is this true? Hasn't the United States always firmly held first place in the development rankings!"

"Su Yang snatched first place from the Americans; is this really possible!"

"But apart from taking first place, there is no other possibility for resource materialization at this stage!"

The General's thoughts were surging, and he was also trying hard to digest this information.

Although unbelievable, this was indeed the only possibility that existed now.

While everyone was surprised, the Forbidden Ground live stream started.

Following it was the announcement of the lord ranking results.

[First Week Lord Ranking Announcement]

[Territory Development Ranking]

[First Place: Dragon Country]

[Second Place: England Empire]

[Third Place: United States]

[Territory Exploration Ranking]

[First Place: Dragon Country]

[Second Place: Japan Empire]

[Third Place: Bear Country]

The moment the announcement lit up, the eyeballs of everyone present almost popped out of their sockets.

First place on both lists!!

In the first two rounds of the Forbidden Ground, the Dragon Country had never made it onto the list.

Yet today, Su Yang actually made it onto two lists in a row, and took first place in both!

In the meeting room, let alone ordinary staff, even the officers exclaimed.

"Good heavens! Our ancestors are definitely smiling upon us!!"

"First place on both lists!? And it was taken by stepping on the heads of the United States and Japan!!"

"Su Yang, well done! Screw those Japanese!!"

"Holy crap..."

The General of the Military Department could not sit still either and stood up from his chair.

First place on both lists is a situation that usually only appears in the Late Stage after a country has become extremely powerful.

In the early stages, due to the different strong periods and development focuses of various countries.

Let alone first place on both lists, it is very rare to be on both rankings at the same time.

Now, Su Yang has actually defeated strong enemies and pocketed both first places.

How could this not be exciting!

The screen flickered, and the Dragon Country territory appeared before everyone's eyes.

The most eye-catching thing was the lords residence that had doubled in size.

When the experts saw the new territory, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Su Yang actually finished building the Level 3 Main Base before the Arrival Night!"

"What is that next to the lords residence! The structure looks so stunning!"

"It's a Hero building, a Level 3 building that can only be unlocked with a Level 3 Main Base!"

"Look at the new unit in the army; it looks like he is wearing iron armor!"

"A military-type hero unit! His armor has been fully upgraded!"

"Iron, the newly appeared buildings all have metallic iron materials; the Qin Dynasty has entered the Iron Age!"

The shock brought by the new territory was not at all inferior to being first on both lists.

The experts cheered and analyzed every new thing that appeared in the territory.

The General of the Military Department looked at the screen, his eyes trembling.

Not only did he take the lord ranking and save the public, but he also successfully entered a new era.

The gift Su Yang brought this time was truly too astonishing...

Official live stream room.

The news of the Dragon Country dominating the lord rankings made the public completely ecstatic.

And the appearance of the new base and the hero-level General pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

"Su Yang is awesome, Great Qin is awesome!!"

"The military Generals of other countries are all commanders, but the Qin Dynasty actually has martial Generals!"

"Too cool, the Imperial Armor of this martial General is too cool!"

"Wait, is the Qin Dynasty some kind of lost alien civilization? This technology feels more advanced than modern civilization!"

"They are all armored in the early stages; I dare not imagine what kind of monsters will appear later!"

While the public was cheering, the host, Xiaoxue, inserted an important piece of news.

"With the help of Su Yang, important roads in Jiangnan Province have been cleared, and electricity is gradually being restored."

"A large number of affected people have benefited from this; let us thank Su Yang for his efforts in the Forbidden Ground!"

"I am from the rescue team; without the help of Su Yang, we wouldn't have been able to enter the disaster area at all."

"Thank you, Brother Su Yang. My grandmother and I hadn't eaten for three days; it was he who saved us..."

"Su Yang is working hard, the country is working hard; brothers and sisters, do not give up, the future will be good!"

Forbidden Ground, Dragon Country territory.

"...Thank you for everything you have done. On behalf of all the military and civilians of the Dragon Country, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

After reading the message from the Military Department, Su Yang closed the panel.

Rescuing the public from their predicament was his goal from the beginning, and it was also his duty as a citizen of the Dragon Country.

There is no need to thank him for this; any Dragon Country citizen would do the same.

In order to better shoulder this responsibility, all he could do was to do his best to strengthen his forces and let the iron hooves of Great Qin trample across the entire Forbidden Ground!

The 200 units of iron ore from England have been stored; now it is time to start a comprehensive upgrade!

Su Yang could not wait to know what kind of improvements the Level 3 Main Base would bring to the territory?
