I Build a Shelter in the Eternal Night

Chapter 304: Chapter 159: Max Level Effect: Ruling the World

Recruit another fifty thousand people.

’Even though I know I shouldn’t question my superior’s orders,’ he thought.

But he couldn’t stop himself from speaking up.

"Domain Lord."

"Recruiting fifty thousand new auxiliary members will cost one million Ghost Stones a month for their monthly salary alone. If any of them are promoted to full members, the financial pressure on the Mortal Realm from future monthly salary payments will be immense."

"Besides, recruiting fifty thousand people during the rainy season..."

"The timeline is very tight."

"We won’t be able to screen them thoroughly. We won’t be able to weed out spies planted by other factions or people with their own agendas. It’s very likely to throw the entire Mortal Realm into chaos."

The Mortal Realm currently had its own internal set of values.

These values were guiding the Mortal Realm’s positive development.

But with such a sudden influx of people...

...it wouldn’t be the Mortal Realm assimilating them; they would be the ones corrupting the Mortal Realm. The potential crisis this could cause was far greater than the financial one.

Once morale was lost,

the faction would become difficult to lead.

...

Chen Fan, sitting in his rocking chair, turned his head to look at Wang Kui and said calmly,

"These fifty thousand people will all be sent to the New Continent to take charge of its development."

"Special circumstances call for special actions."

"The New Continent is too large."

"Our manpower is completely insufficient to develop it. We need more people. Until the development of the New Continent is complete, they will be completely cut off from the outside world. No one will be able to send information out from there."

"This is also a perfect opportunity."

"During this time, we can properly screen them."

"Once the development is finished, the ones who remain will be reliable and easy to manage."

"Wang Kui."

"The Ghost Tide landing we will face in three years is the greatest battle the Mortal Realm has ever faced. The people we have now are nowhere near enough. We need more manpower."

"You and the Logistics Pavilion will handle this. Recruit enough people before the rainy season and send them to the New Continent."

"Understood."

Wang Kui nodded with a serious expression.

After Wang Kui left,

Chen Fan looked out at the Celestial Pit encampment beyond the City Wall. His memory wasn’t particularly bad; he clearly remembered that a few months ago, a Fake Human Ghost had infiltrated the Mortal Realm with forged Ancient Texts. A line of text had been written on them.

-

"End of year 382 of the Eternal Night Calendar, Jiangbei. The Netherworld Ghost Tide lands unendingly. A great calamity."

-

He knew as soon as he saw that line.

A Great Ghost didn’t want him to stay in Jiangbei; it wanted him to leave.

He hadn’t left.

The entity couldn’t come to Jiangbei outside of the rainy season, so it would come once the rainy season arrived. The reason he had rushed back to Jiangbei in early October was to bolster the Mortal Realm’s defenses.

The rainy season would normally arrive in early November.

But no one knew if it would arrive early again.

After a good night’s sleep, he felt refreshed and clear-headed.

’Time to get to work.’

The next moment—

The section of City Wall beneath him suddenly began to squirm, uprooting itself from the ground and moving over the Celestial Pit encampment.

Immediately after,

all the City Walls were uniformly upgraded to Level 7.

That wasn’t all.

At the end of this 21-meter-long City Wall, phantoms of new wall sections began to appear one after another. They quickly solidified, extending straight out of the canyon and away from Nameless Mountain.

The Jiangbei Defense Line was 170 kilometers long.

But to build a City Wall that completely enclosed Nameless Mountain, Mortal City, Xiyang City, and the Mortal Realm Port, he would only need 10.8 kilometers.

He was going to first build a 14.8-kilometer-long City Wall to enclose the foundation he had built and get through the coming rainy season.

With the Legendary Mutation effect "Great Wall," these City Walls could be seamlessly connected to the Jiangbei Defense Line in the future.

Before the terrified eyes of all the Mortal Realm Members,

section after section of the City Wall rapidly solidified, rushing out of the canyon and extending along the coastline into the distance, with no end in sight.

148,000 Ghost Stones were spent.

A 14.8-kilometer-long Level 1 City Wall completely solidified.

740,000 Ghost Stones were spent.

The City Walls of this defensive line were upgraded to Level 2.

All the City Walls gained the same mutation effect: "[All City Walls connected to this one will gain the ’Thorn Armor’ effect. Before the wall’s durability limit is reached, it will reflect a small portion of the enemy’s attack strength back onto the attacker (Ordinary).]"

"..."

With each upgrade, the appearance of the dragon-like City Wall before him changed drastically, growing taller and larger.

Chen Fan stood on the City Wall, his expression calm as he watched the scene unfold.

His heart was perfectly calm.

’Continue.’

With that, he spent another 7,400,000 Ghost Stones.

All the City Walls reached Level 3, and he uniformly chose "Ghost Blood Pattern."

Identical patterns exuding a bizarre aura covered all the City Walls. The sight was utterly spectacular.

’A Level 3 City Wall?’

’Not enough.’

He didn’t know how strong a Great Ghost was, but he knew one thing: it was better to have overkill than to fail to defend.

’Continue.’

Another 14,800,000 Ghost Stones were spent.

All the City Walls reached Level 4.

And all the City Walls gained the same mutation effect: "[(Great Wall): All City Walls connected to this one will gain this mutation effect. The City Wall can move freely like a long dragon within the encampment’s range (Legendary).]"

’Still not enough.’

Another 29,600,000 Ghost Stones were spent.

All the City Walls reached Level 5.

This time!

For all the City Walls, he uniformly chose the third Upgrade Direction.

"[3: No-Fly Zone. No creature can fly over the City Wall before it is destroyed.]"

At this point,

it was finally over for now.

"..."

Chen Fan looked at the dragon-like City Wall before him, a full 20 meters high and 14.8 kilometers long, and suddenly broke into a smile. This was the foundation he had accumulated over these past days.

This City Wall.
