271: The storm is coming, and H City is about to become the center of the world!

Mo Yan’s mind stirred, and he handed the Epic-grade blueprint, which recorded the complete forging process of runic battle armor, to Lu Mingyuan.

"Take this blueprint to the Armor Workshop and have them produce it as quickly as possible. Also, have the Crystal Essence Workshop cooperate."

After arranging everything, he stood up.

"Everyone, go get busy."

"Yes, Lord!"

The crowd left one after another, and soon only Mo Yan remained in the council hall.

He was about to tally all the gains from this dungeon when a blood-red announcement appeared before his eyes.

【Global Announcement (Dragon Kingdom Region): Detected an abnormal surge in “Heavenly Dao Luck” concentration in H City, fulfilling the prerequisite for establishing a “Lord Holy Land”!】

【Special Area Quest “Holy Land Guardian” has been activated!】

【Quest Description: The Dragon Kingdom official will establish the “Dragon Kingdom Lord Special Development Zone” in the southern suburbs of H City, and Genius Lords from across the country will gradually relocate here. As the owner of the Luck core, you will automatically accept the “Holy Land Guardian” quest.】

【Quest Requirement: Protect the safety of the Holy Land area, and resist potential prying eyes and destroyers in the future.】

【Quest Reward: Holy Land Luck dividends, special title “Holy Land Guardian”. Your territory’s Luck will receive an additional 50% increase on top of H City’s Luck bonus!】

Mo Yan’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Currently, H City’s Luck value was five hundred.

An additional half would be two hundred and fifty? A total of seven hundred and fifty points of Luck added to him!

No wonder his Luck was so good when opening the boxes just now; it turned out that the Luck had already begun to take effect.

However… all the Genius Lords in the country are moving to my doorstep?

The Dragon Kingdom official’s move was truly grand; they intended to use him as bait to catch all the future big fish of the Dragon Kingdom.

“Somewhat interesting.” Not only did he not feel threatened, but a hint of anticipation arose within him.

Just then, the door of the council hall was suddenly pushed open.

An ordinary Soldier rushed in anxiously.

“Lord, not… not good!”

Mo Yan frowned: “Why are you panicking?”

Under his calm gaze, the Soldier’s anxiety instantly dissipated by more than half. He quickly stood firm and reported breathlessly:

“It’s… it’s Zhang Chen, Colonel Zhang, he’s here again!”

“He’s in a great hurry, saying there’s an extremely urgent matter and he must see you immediately!”

“Zhang Chen?” Mo Yan was somewhat surprised.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chen’s hurried figure already appeared at the doorway.

His military jacket was unbuttoned, and his forehead was covered in sweat, as if he had run a marathon. Upon seeing Mo Yan, his eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed in, taking three steps at a time.

“Mr. Mo!”

He first saluted, then grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, smiling like a two-hundred-pound child.

“Mr. Mo, what great news! What great news!”

Mo Yan looked at his excited appearance and felt a little like laughing.

This guy, clearly a colonel and the leader of the Azure Group, why did he always act like a eunuch delivering good news every time he came?

“Sit down and talk.” Mo Yan pointed to the chair next to him, “Have some water, take your time, the sky won’t fall.”

“Aye, good, good!” Zhang Chen responded verbally but did not sit down at all. He pulled out a military tablet from his in my arms, held it with both hands, and presented it to Mo Yan, his voice trembling with excitement.

“Mr. Mo, look!”

“This is a reward personally ordered by the Chief for you!”

“From the national treasury, you can choose fifty thousand units of any Materials below Legendary quality!”

“For Legendary quality, you can choose fifty units!”

Zhang Chen’s tone was filled with proud satisfaction, “The Chief said that the Dragon Kingdom will never treat any meritorious official unfairly!”

“We want everyone to see what can be gained by bringing glory to the country!”

Mo Yan raised an eyebrow and took the tablet.

This move was indeed significant.

It seemed that the Chief not only had a grand vision but also enough boldness.

This was an actual action to show an attitude to all Lords in the country.

He swiped the screen, and a dazzling list of Materials popped up.

From basic wood and stone, to rare Ore and herbs, and then to various finished equipment and special Dao items, it was a dazzling array, with everything imaginable.

This was all the accumulated wealth that the Dragon Kingdom had scoured from the Lord World, using the strength of the entire nation.

Zhang Chen watched from the side, secretly guessing what Mo Yan would choose.

Would he choose a few powerful Epic-grade pieces of equipment to arm himself?

Or would he choose a large amount of rare resources to develop his territory?

However, Mo Yan’s actions made him somewhat confused.

Mo Yan’s fingers tapped rapidly on the screen, as if he were shopping at his own vegetable market.

【Beast Essence】 x500

【Profound iron ore】 x500

【Five Elements Essence】 x2500

【Blazing Red wood】 x500

【Clear Heart White Lotus】 x500

【Bodhi Seed】 x500

【Spirit Rhino Jade】 x500

…

All he entered were extremely rare and precious raw Materials that seemed inexplicable to outsiders.

The more Zhang Chen watched, the more astonished he became.

Many of these items were gathering dust in the national Warehouse because no one knew their specific uses.

But Mo Yan chose them as if he had already prepared a shopping list, with clear goals and no hesitation.

In just a few minutes, the fifty thousand units of Material quota were completely used up by Mo Yan, with not even a fraction left.

Then, he opened the list of Legendary-grade Materials.

【Energy Gathering Primordial Crystal】 x10

【Nine Heavens Glazed Jade】 x9

【Starfall Iron】 x10

【Space Stabilization Stone】 x10

…

The fifty units of Legendary-grade Materials were also clearly arranged by him.

After doing all this, Mo Yan returned the tablet to Zhang Chen, the entire process flowing smoothly, as if he had just ordered takeout.

Zhang Chen took the tablet, looking at the “insane” Material list on it, and his Adam’s apple couldn’t help but bob up and down.

“When can they arrive?” Mo Yan asked.

“Ah?” Zhang Chen snapped back to attention and immediately stood at attention, “I… I’ll report it immediately!”

“The items on the list are distributed in various large Warehouses across the country, so it will take time to gather them.”

“I guarantee that the first batch of Materials will be delivered by tomorrow noon at the absolute earliest!”

“Mm.”

Zhang Chen looked at Mo Yan, hesitated for a moment, then tentatively spoke: “Um… Mr. Mo, you must have also received the regional announcement, right?”

“Regarding the Holy Land Guardian…”

Mo Yan picked up the teacup on the table, blew on the hot steam, and said nothing, just quietly looking at him.

That gaze seemed to say: Speak quickly if you have something to say, and get to the point.

Zhang Chen instantly understood, put away all his probing, and went straight to the main topic, the excitement on his face reappearing.

“The Supreme Chief has ordered the establishment of the Dragon Kingdom Lord Special Development Zone, centered around our H City and modeled after your Cangming City!”

He waved his arms as he spoke.

“From today onwards, all the most promising young Lords selected from major cities across the country will bring their territories and gradually migrate to the southern suburbs of H City, which is next to your territory!”

“The higher-ups want to gather the strength of the entire nation, utilizing the immense Luck of H City, to cultivate hundreds, even thousands, more top-tier Lords like you!”

All the Genius Lords in the country are to gather here?

This means that this once desolate and uninhabited abandoned industrial park is about to become the eye of the storm for the entire Dragon Kingdom, and even the entire Blue Star!

Opportunities, challenges, allies, enemies…

Countless variables will converge and collide in this land with the arrival of those Geniuses, stirring up monstrous waves.

Mo Yan remained silent for a long time.

He put down his teacup, walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out at the boundless white world outside the window.
