Chapter 227 - 227 Upgrading The Building Again
227 Upgrading The Building Again
It wasn’t difficult for the Hydra to make the decision to join Xu Yuan. In fact, it was an honor for him.
In response to the Hydra’s request, Xu Yuan yawned and closed his eyes,
Su Wan still held Xu Yuan in her hands. She was considering the request. But there was a problem. What if the Hydra betrayed them?
They were once enemies, after all. Su Wan didn’t trust the Hydra.
During this time, Lord Aiur knelt in front of Xu Yuan. He looked ragged and disheveled. He looked even worse than a beggar on the street.
“Your Majesty, please take us in!” Lord Aiur’s previous pride was gone. He knew that if he wanted revenge, he could only rely on Xu Yuan’s support.
As long as he could get his revenge, this small sacrifice was nothing!
The Hydra and Lord Aiur looked at the silent Xu Yuan and then turned to Su Wan, as though asking for her opinion.
Su Wan was a little nervous and didn’t know what to do. If she ejected them, she would be losing a formidable ally. However, they had been enemies before, so she was reluctant to trust them.
Su Wan glanced at Xu Yuan. “Xu Yuan, stop sleeping! Wake up and make some plans so that we can face the Light-Types again!”
Her words seemed to have the desired effect. Xu Yuan yawned and stretched.
“Alright. I will give you a chance,” said Xu Yuan. “If you can prove yourself, I will let you stay.”
Xu Yuan meant the inevitable attack from the Light-Types. If the Hydra and Lord Aiur could prove their loyalty in that fight, they could follow him.
“We will do our best!”
Lord Aiur thought it would be easy to complete the mission with the others. However, the moment he uttered those words, he felt terrified. He did not know if the Hydra would be able to perform well in this fight.
Xu Yuan and Su Wan glanced at each other with a nod to show their agreement.
“We need to strengthen our defenses,” said Xu Yuan.
“We still have some building upgrade stones left. We can use them!” said Su Wan.
Su Wan’s words reminded Xu Yuan that he still had a skill enhancement point left!
‘One skill enhancement point and a few building upgrade stones!’ thought Xu Yuan. ‘If we use all that, we should be able to strengthen the territory.’
He looked at the flag of the territory. All other buildings in the territory looked big and strong. Only the flag hadn’t been touched. ‘What happens if I upgrade that?’ thought Xu Yuan.
He was excited to test it out.
[Territory Flag: symbol of the territory. The land where the flag is planted represents the border of the territory.]
He felt that it had no other function. It was practically useless. The current level of the flag was at zero, so it was only for decoration. Xu Yuan wondered what would happen if he upgraded it to Level 1. The attribute panel did mention that the Level 1 Territory Flag would unlock a special effect: Territory Movement.
He upgraded the Territory Flag to Level 1. ‘Does that mean I can move the territory underground?’ wondered Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan was still concerned about moving it underground. However, if the territory could be moved, it would allow them to form a group with others and move near them.
When the time came, he would move the territory underground…
No matter how much the enemy racked their brains, they would probably never be able to think of where the territory was. They would only see the old boundary of the territory.
Even after the upgrade, the distance and the range of movement were too low. So, Xu Yuan used another building upgrade stone to upgrade the Territory Flag to Level 2.
“I was right!” muttered Xu Yuan.
The Territory Flag at Level 2 had more functions. It was just as Xu Yuan had imagined. A Level 2 Territory Flag allowed him to move the territory to a larger area and much faster, too!
“If we keep upgrading it, won’t it be possible to move the entire territory underground?” mumbled Xu Yuan. He used another building upgrade stone.
“Xu Yuan, what are you doing?!” asked Su Wan. She hadn’t reacted earlier because she didn’t know what Xu Yuan was up to. Now that she was certain, her blood boiled in anger. What was even the point of upgrading the useless Territory Flag?
“You can’t be thinking of deserting, right?” Su Wan asked. Her face darkened.
Su Wan thought Xu Yuan had a plan, but he was just wasting the building upgrade stones!
Meanwhile, Xu Yuan chuckled and was about to use another building upgrade stone.
“Wait!” exclaimed Su Wan. “Xu Yuan, how could you?”
She realized that the one more building upgrade stone was gone. She looked heartbroken. She didn’t yet know that Xu Yuan had used several building upgrade stones already.
“Transfer!”
The buildings moved. They covered a much larger area. They were much faster, too. At Level 1, the building moved at a snail’s pace. Now, they were as fast as a rabbit!
“Xu Yuan, that’s enough!”
Su Wan realized that Xu Yuan had secretly used the building upgrade stone without consulting her. That made her angry.
“Don’t worry,” he said as he moved the Territory Core underground. “The core is temporarily safe now.”
Xu Yuan wanted to move everything underground. However, he didn’t have time to do that now. So, he moved the Territory Core to safety for now.
