I Build a Shelter in the Eternal Night

Chapter 302: Chapter 159: [Max Level Effect]: Ruling the World

「Seven days later.」

The date was early October, Year 379 of the Eternal Night Calendar.

Chen Fan stood atop the City Wall of New Continent Base One, gazing out at the Sea Ships constantly sailing back and forth on the ocean’s surface. He also watched the Mortal Realm Members, ant-like in their ceaseless activity on the shore and various islands.

The mining operations on the New Continent were now on the right track.

Train after train of the High-speed Rail, fully loaded with Ghost Stones, traveled from the New Continent toward the Mortal Realm.

During this time, Wang Mazi had returned once.

He had forged another three Strategic Level Flying Ships. However, these three were built at a lower cost; instead of filling all the turret slots with Max Level Godslaying Cannons, they were only fitted with a few Low Level Godslaying Cannons.

The cost was low.

Including the Ghost Stones stocked inside the ship, the cost of one Flying Ship was only about 200,000 Ghost Stones.

He divided all the members of the Commerce Pavilion into four groups and sent them out to conduct a systematic search of all the Ancient Battlefields and other anomalous points on the New Continent.

Moreover, over the past few days, he had made a few more trips to the New Continent, building two more Signal Towers at the edge of the existing network’s range to expand the communication radius once again.

All work was progressing in an orderly fashion.

...

Within these seven days, the Ghost Stones and Ghost Bones in front of the first defensive line had been mostly collected by those monkeys. Of course, this was only in the area near New Continent Base One; the first defensive line was a full several hundred kilometers long.

The area before the hundreds-of-kilometers-long defensive line was piled high with Ghost Stones and Ghost Bones.

To collect all the Ghost Stones and Ghost Bones from within these seven defensive lines would be a task measured in years.

Meanwhile, more of the Mortal Realm’s auxiliary members were shuttling back and forth between the many islands at sea. Massive quantities of Ghost Stones were loaded onto Sea Ships, then transported back to New Continent Base One, and finally sent to the Mortal Realm through the Undersea Tunnel.

The once silent and uninhabited New Continent, with the arrival of the Mortal Realm, had gradually grown lively, gaining a human touch.

’Things are pretty much on track now. I should head back.’

...

After pausing to watch for a moment longer, Chen Fan turned, descended the City Wall, and headed for the High-speed Rail station. "Let’s go, Shao Qiu. We’re going home."

Lame Monkey would remain here.

He would be in charge of overall coordination.

He would also be the one chiefly responsible for the New Continent’s development. Chen Fan had to leave an absolutely trusted subordinate here. Lame Monkey was that confidant. He trusted Lame Monkey, just as Lame Monkey trusted him.

He had three main tasks for this trip back.

First.

To prepare for the upcoming rainy season. It was already early October; if the season arrived as usual, Jiangbei’s rainy season would begin in early November.

Second.

They didn’t have enough manpower. Although he had brought over a thousand auxiliary members from the Mortal Realm, it was far from enough. He needed more people.

Third.

The single track in the Undersea Tunnel was proving to be severely insufficient.

For the past few days, the fully loaded High-speed Rail trains had been running during the day, while the empty ones had to wait until night to return to New Continent Base One. This greatly hampered transport efficiency, and the Warehouses at New Continent Base One were already close to overflowing.

He needed to build another track.

Fortunately, the Undersea Tunnel dug by Hey Hey was quite wide. When he had laid the Copper Pipes on his way here, he had intentionally placed them to one side, leaving plenty of room to lay a second track within the tunnel.

There was no need for Hey Hey to widen the tunnel.

...

Soon.

After giving Lame Monkey a few instructions, Chen Fan left New Continent Base One. He led Shao Qiu into the High-speed Rail station but didn’t board the train at the platform, which was fully loaded and about to depart.

After that train departed, they boarded a new High-speed Rail train.

The High-speed Rail train slowly started to move.

It wasn’t moving fast.

As the train traveled forward through the Undersea Tunnel, he quickly laid Copper Pipes along the adjacent side.

Laying the Copper Pipes was simple; it just required a combination of his vision and his will. Wherever his eyes looked, he could lay a Copper Pipe with a single thought. But if the speed was too fast, his eyes wouldn’t be able to keep up.

So, while laying the Copper Pipes, the High-speed Rail train had to move much more slowly.

Therefore—

During the time he was laying the new track, this High-speed Rail line would be completely shut down to prevent any following trains from causing a rear-end collision. Only after he finished laying the new track would the Undersea Tunnel be put back into operation.

...

「Two days later.」

For these two days, Chen Fan had been laying the Copper Pipe almost without sleep or rest.

Time was money.

There was no room for delay.

Shao Qiu, accompanying him on the train, had been restless with anxiety for days. The Domain Lord was working himself to the bone, and just watching helplessly made Shao Qiu feel extremely uncomfortable. He desperately wanted to help, but there was nothing he could do.

So, he also forced himself to stay awake. Even though there was nothing for him to do, it was, at the very least, a show of support.

’Otherwise, with the Domain Lord working so hard right there, if I were just lying in the High-speed Rail car sleeping soundly... forget the position of Pavilion Master, I feel like I might not even keep my head.’

Finally—

After two sleepless days of work.

The High-speed Rail train began to climb, ascending at a ninety-degree vertical angle.

It slowly came to a stop on the surface.

...

The harsh sunlight made it difficult for Chen Fan to open his eyes. Having not seen the sun for a long time, Chen Fan frowned, raising a hand to shield his eyes as he looked around. He had arrived on the Eternal Night Continent, at the Mortal Realm Port.

’Finally... I’m finally home.’

Looking behind him into the Undersea Tunnel, he saw two tracks laid out, neat and orderly.

’From now on, transport capacity will be drastically increased. One track for shipping goods, one for the empty trains, operating non-stop around the clock.’

"Not bad."

Chen Fan gazed at the two neat tracks in the deep well behind him, and much of his fatigue from the past few days seemed to melt away. He couldn’t help but smile. It had to be said, the sight gave him quite a sense of accomplishment.
