【Energy Storage Power Station】: This is a power station with special electric energy. Within one month of acquiring the power station, electricity bills will not be charged.

Looking at this reward from the System, Li Changkong felt more confusion about it.

Vaguely, he could also sense that this reward from the System did not belong to this era.

The key word, electric energy, also allowed him to roughly understand.

After all, in this World, there are quite a few Magicians who practice lightning magic.

Does this mean that this reward can provide a large amount of lightning power?

But what could he do with that power if he took it?

None of them needed lightning power to learn lightning magic.

Although he thought this, Li Changkong understood that the System's reward must have some significance.

Combining all the previous situations, he could perceive that this reward he had received seemed to be laying the foundation for the next reward!

Maybe the next reward would be books on learning lightning magic!

But the next reward…

Given the current surrounding environment, Li Village simply did not have the ability to continue expanding its territory!

As he was thinking this, someone in the crowd beside Li Changkong suddenly exclaimed.

"Village Chief, the range of the spiritual lamp has been compressed again!" The speaker's tone was not low, and the surroundings were also quiet, so as soon as he spoke, everyone's gaze focused on him.

Following the edge of the spiritual lamp's light range that the person was pointing to, people could clearly see at this moment that the spiritual lamp was indeed slowly retracting within the increasingly dense Darkness!

From the state of the spiritual lamp, it was enough to prove that the weather outside was becoming more severe!

"How can this be? We are using High-Level spiritual lamps, and now they are almost inferior to the Primary Spirit Lamps we used before!"

"Will the High-Level spiritual lamps lose all their effectiveness later? Then what should we do?!"

Among the crowd, the hidden fear was ignited again at this moment.

Even some people with a high sense of belonging to Li Village showed a hint of worry in their expressions.

"Village Chief, why don't we go to Busen City? If we stay here and the spiritual lamp completely loses its effect, we're finished!"

Someone in the crowd shouted in panic.

"Rumble~"

In the pitch-black sky, the dull thunder was like a slaughtering blade, flashing a momentary brilliance that illuminated the fear on the faces of the people barely surviving on the ground.

"Yes, Village Chief, we can't just sit here and wait for death. We need to make a decision quickly." Several Old Men in the Village also said to Li Changkong with a hint of worry.

Li Man, however, looked worried and said, "The journey to Busen City is not short. Once the spiritual lamp starts moving, it will face the erosion of the new Dark forces around it. In this state, the consumption speed of the spiritual lamp will become extremely fast, and its effectiveness will be further weakened."

"Even if we have so many Knights in our Village now, we cannot guarantee that there will be no casualties along the way."

"Furthermore, even if we successfully reach Busen City, it is not certain that Busen City will be willing to let so many of us enter the City."

"Then are we just going to wait here? Wait for the spiritual lamp to completely fail and let the monsters kill us all?" In the Village, someone had obviously had enough of this state of waiting for death to gradually approach, and their tone of voice was also heavier.

"Village Chief, I will listen to you." Li Man did not argue with the other person but turned his head to look at Li Changkong, who had been silent.

The people around also focused their attention on Li Changkong.

Li Village had experienced so much, and their sense of belonging had even reached the Intermediate level. To them, Li Changkong was already a successful Leader.

Listening to Li Man's words and looking at the serious expressions of the villagers one by one, Li Changkong was silent for a while.

Then he said slowly, "Li Man is right. If we go to Busen City in The Black Night, there will be too many dangers and too many changes along the way, and even if we reach Busen City, we will absolutely not be accepted by them."

"Therefore, we cannot leave the Village."

After saying this, many people in the crowd showed some discouraged expressions in their eyes.

"However, not leaving the Village does not mean we are waiting for death!" After saying this sentence with a heavier tone, Li Changkong then looked at the pitch-black night sky in front of him: "We still have one last chance to fight!"

Saying that, under everyone's gaze, he went to a room next to him and brought out a box.

When the box was opened, more than twenty High-Level spiritual lamps appeared in the sight of everyone in Li Village.

"Li Man, light all these spiritual lamps and let the spiritual lamps cover the entire Li Village!"

Saying that, Li Changkong looked at the slaves in the crowd, pointing to a few people with relatively high sense of belonging and saying, "You are now official villagers of Li Village."

When this sentence was spoken, Li Changkong could see that the number of villagers in his personal profile had also changed.

The original 105 people became 110 people.

Fortunately, although there were five more people, the overall sense of belonging in the Village was still at the Intermediate level and had not been pulled down.

On this basis, Li Village was already sufficient to meet the requirements for expanding to a Level 1.1 territory!

"Village Chief, do we have to light all the spiritual lamps?" Li Man asked with a bit of uncertainty.

These were the last resort of Li Village.

Once they were completely burned out, the entire Li Village would fall into a state of eternal Jie!

"Light them all, and continue the construction to expand the land!" Li Changkong's tone was firm.

Since the power of the High-Level spiritual lamps was weakening at a visible speed, it would be better to take one last gamble before these High-Level spiritual lamps were completely scrapped!

Gamble for a System reward!

...

Busen City.

Su Liang was lying on a bed, drinking medicinal soup to replenish his energy and blood.

Since offering that potion, he had become the person with the best treatment in the Holy Light Department!

However, he was more dissatisfied with this.

The spiritual lamp Enhancement Potion was the potion with the highest overall value among all the ancient potion formulas he had seen so far!

Compared to those more precious potions, this potion's material requirements were very simple; it only needed Materials that could be purchased with a few silver coins to prepare a dose.

It was precisely because the refining threshold was low and the effect was good that this potion had always been Su Liang's biggest bargaining chip.

Originally, he had planned to go to the Western Main City with Raine and announce the potion in front of everyone.

To gain the attention of the Marquis and even the Duke!

In that case, he would completely leap up and join the upper class!

Now.

In order to escape the pursuit of the Renault Family, he had no choice but to take out his best capital in this small place, Busen City, in exchange for safety!

Although he had also gained the attention of the Elders of the Holy Light Department.

But the attention of the few Elders in this City was still far from meeting Su Liang's expectations.

Thinking of all these causes and effects, Su Liang resented Li Village to the extreme!

However, looking at the pitch-black sky outside the window, a satisfied smile appeared on his face again.

This weather, perhaps only he and a very small number of people in the World knew the reason.

After Su Liang learned magic in the Renault Family, he somehow gained the ability to see ancient things in certain places.

It was also by relying on this ability that he saw an ancient book left behind during one of his outings.

And on it, it was clearly stated what this current pitch-black sky was.

This sky, in ancient books, was called the Black World.

The Black World, a pitch-Black World.

Historically, it had appeared once before.

That time, after the Black World appeared, it completely destroyed a country with boundless Darkness!

It was not until decades later that the Black World gradually dissipated.

This was a world-destroying disaster that, once it began, would not stop in a short period of time!

"Under such a disaster, the guys in Li Village are probably almost dead by now, right?" Su Liang muttered to himself, thinking that Li Village should be in a state of destruction at this time, and his mood became quite good.

"And the Renault Family." Thinking of this Family, Su Liang's expression became gloomy again.

Now, the Black World had arrived.

The shroud of Darkness would steadily advance. After tonight, the original spiritual lamps would all lose their effect, and the range covered by the Holy Light Array would also be greatly reduced. At that time, everyone in Busen City who wanted to survive would have to rely on the Holy Light Department!

And that would be the moment for him to control the Renault Family!

...

Li Village.

Even though it was raining, Li Village was still bustling with activity.

spiritual lamps, whose effectiveness was much less than before, were lit and placed in various corners of the Village.

Making the entire Village brightly lit again.

And in this bright environment, Li Changkong led everyone in Li Village to work on the expansion project on the outskirts.

Many people actually expressed their incomprehension about expanding at this time.

But with the previous few times as a foundation, in everyone's minds, Li Changkong had never disappointed them.

Precisely because of this, even for this seemingly meaningless task, everyone worked hard.

While driving piles and building walls on the ground, Li Changkong took a moment to look at a certain territory in the Village.

On that territory, there was a huge steel factory!

Before, when the villagers saw this thing after the spiritual lamps were lit, they all thought it was some kind of monster and were terrified.

It was only after Li Changkong's reassurance that everyone calmed down.

Li Changkong also did not expect that the power station rewarded by the System would be such a behemoth.

Looking at it this way, 80% of the area of the land that was expanded before was occupied by that power station!

Next to the power station, there was also a turntable.

This was the land lottery reward, which Li Changkong had not yet used.

Although this lottery was not as good as the rewards directly given by the System, it was still worth looking forward to.

Thinking this, the Man reached out and pressed the start button.

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host, you have obtained ordinary land."

Hearing this announcement in his mind, Li Changkong's expression froze.

He looked at that piece of land again and continued to bury himself in work.

"Swish swish swish~"

While busy, puddles of water had gathered on the ground at some point.

The water flowing on the land made the ground look a bit more glossy and a bit colder in the firelight of the candle lamps.

"Whoosh~"

The gusting wind suddenly intensified for a while, and the roars of the monsters outside also became stronger.

Within the territory of Li Village, looking down from above, spiritual lamps began to extinguish abruptly from the back of the Village!
