Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 634 Recruitment Plan, Clash of Dragon Blood. (5200)

"Go find Bai Zhi?" Liu Muxue asked, puzzled.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Yes, it's the leader of the Eternal Moment. Her territory should be near the main city of Everfrost. You can contact her directly via private chat later."

"Once we arrive, just tell her that you're here to help her challenge the angel's legacy."

Cao Xing hadn't forgotten that Bai Zhi had once said that she held a position related to an angel's inheritance.

We have already passed the first three rounds, including the two-winged and four-winged angel form skill books, all of which were obtained through inheritance.

Now, Liu Muxue is already a legendary powerhouse.

After entering the [Four-Winged Angel] form, with all attributes increased by 100%, the combat power is equivalent to that of powerful figures such as Binglan and Isabel.

If at this moment, she could inherit even greater power from that angelic legacy.

This will be of greater help in the upcoming battles.

Upon hearing the word 'inheritance', Liu Muxue immediately understood Cao Xing's meaning.

She nodded gently and said, "Okay, I'll go to Yongshuang City now and then contact Baizhi."

Cao Xing was about to nod when he suddenly remembered something.

"Wait a minute, Mu Xue."

Upon hearing this, Liu Muxue turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Then, Cao Xing took out a small wooden bottle from his backpack, which contained a drop of dark purple blood.

It is the blood of Krakato.

"Let's try this and see if we can fuse it," Cao Xing said.

This drop of ancient dragon blood, when fused, can greatly increase attributes and allow one to change to a hidden class.

In addition, it can be used not only by the natives of this world, but also by survivors like them.

Now, Liu Muxue has also broken through to the legendary level, which meets the conditions for using the 'Blood of Krakato'.

If she can fuse with this drop of blood, her support abilities will be enhanced to another level.

Upon hearing this, Liu Muxue gently accepted the small wooden bottle.

She poured out the drop of flowing blood from the wooden bottle and placed it in the center of her fair palm.

"Chichi...chichi..."

A series of corrosive sounds rang out, and the aurora power emanating from Liu Muxue's body and this crystal power began to cancel each other out.

She closed her eyes and carefully felt it.

After a moment, she slowly said, "It can be fused."

"The system notification says that after I fuse with this drop of blood, my attributes will increase by 100%, and I will be able to change my class to Crystal Dragon Knight."

Upon hearing this, a smile had just appeared on Cao Xing's face.

But Liu Muxue's next words stunned him.

"However... my Aurora Knight class will be replaced, all the skills I learned before will be forgotten, and I will have to learn new skills again."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing immediately frowned.

"Alternative careers?"

He realized this at that moment.

Previously, after Tian Jing fused with that drop of [Poison Lizard Blood], he also changed his class to 'Poison Flame Giant Lizard', and all his skills were brand new.

So this drop of 'Kracatto's Blood' must have the same effect.

There was also a slight sense of regret in my heart.

After all, compared to a 100% attribute boost, and a 'Aurora Knight' that can increase the strength of the entire territory several times over, it's not even worth considering.

Cao Xing said, "Then let's not fuse it. Keep this drop of blood and I'll see if it has any other use later."

"Ok."

Liu Muxue did as instructed and handed the small wooden bottle back to Cao Xing.

Then, a pair of transparent wind wings appeared behind her: "Ah Xing, I'll set off now to find Bai Zhi."

Cao Xing nodded slightly: "Okay, remember to contact me as soon as possible if you have any questions."

"Mmm!" the tall Aurora Envoy responded obediently.

Then he turned around and walked towards the teleportation array.

With a flash of light from the teleportation array, they disappeared from their original spot.

Of the combatants remaining in the territory, only Cao Xing and Malenina are left.

He had no plans to go out.

Anyway, some people have already gone out to deal with the bloody army outside.

Looking at the small wooden bottle in his hand, Cao Xing continued to think to himself, "The power contained in the blood of the ancient dragon must be extremely strong."

"But the idea that the integration would replace the original profession is still hard for some people to accept."

"After all, these legendary powerhouses in my territory each have their own unique characteristics. If their professions were changed, their powerful legendary skills would probably disappear as well."

Thinking about this, Cao Xing also felt a little regretful.

After all, it's a real shame that such a powerful thing can't find anyone to use it.

At that moment, he seemed to remember something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

“Hmm… I remember that the Norn Dragonblood Warriors have a special talent: they can fuse multiple different bloodlines.”

"Especially Commander Bojie!"

This commander first fused with the blood of the ancient dragon Droma, and then with the blood of a demon.

The blood of three different races and different powers already flows in his veins.

"Then... could we also fuse this drop of blood with it?"

"In this way, Commander Bojie will have the power of four different bloodlines combined!"

"How strong will he be by then?"

Once the idea appeared, it spread like wildfire in Cao Xing's mind!
He even considered calling Bojie back immediately to give it a try.

Unfortunately, the prerequisite for this blood fusion is becoming a legend.

Bojie is currently only a level 70 commander, which is far from enough.

Furthermore, there is a very serious problem: for the Dragonblood Warrior race, the more blood they fuse with, the lower their chances of success become.

The consequence of failure is death by explosion!

Countless members of the Norn clan paid the ultimate price after merging with the blood of Droma.

The lives of countless Norn were used to create a small number of Dragonblood Warriors.

Someone like Bojie, who can survive by fusing three drops of blood, is one in a million.

Therefore, whether he can fuse with the fourth drop of blood is also unknown.

Cao Xing shook his head: "Let's wait until Bo Jie breaks through to the legendary level, and then ask him if he's confident in fusing this drop of blood."

"If you're not confident, then forget it."

With that in mind, he put aside the matter of fusing with the blood of 'Krakato' and continued to inspect the territory.

After taking a stroll around, Cao Xing was surprised to find that quite a few new buildings seemed to have been added to the territory recently.

Other buildings, including the one above, have also been upgraded several levels.

He thought to himself, "Recently, one event after another has occurred, and I haven't paid attention to the development of the territory for a week or two. Let's see how it is now."

So Cao Xing summoned Du An, the polar man, and Cao Yi, the leader of the people, together.

The two arrived quickly and bowed respectfully, saying, "Lord, may you be well."

Cao Xing nodded and said directly, "Du An, report on your work progress."

The polar man immediately straightened his back and solemnly said, "My lord, after this period of construction, your lord's castle has now been upgraded to level 16."

"The energy tower in the center of the territory has also been upgraded to level 25 and will soon be upgraded to an energy station."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

The last time I checked, the Lord's Castle was only level 13, and the Energy Station was only level 21.

It suddenly jumped several levels, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Cao Xing turned around, looking at the two buildings behind him with a hint of anticipation.

[Lord's Castle: Level 16]

Building height: 14 meters

[Floor area: 947 square meters]

Armor: 3200

Durability: 50

[Current capacity: 7814/16019]

[Attached Aura Effect: Abundance Aura]

Materials required to upgrade to the next level: Level 25 Energy Station, 30 Wood, 10 Stone, 5 Refined Iron, 2 Mithril, 1000 Master-grade Elemental Crystals

Upgrade time: 784 hours / 35 minutes

Number of employees working simultaneously: 0/4

……

After reviewing the attributes of the lord's castle.

Cao Xing couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.

The population figures, in particular, are a pleasant surprise.

“Very good, there is still a surplus of more than 8,000 people.”

"It seems we can do another large-scale expansion of personnel next."

As mentioned before, we are currently in a period of bloodshed, and there are many ways to increase the population. In addition to the troop types currently available in the War Merit Shop, you can exchange for more than 10,000 of them.

After that, they went to take in large numbers of refugees from the destroyed towns or defeated soldiers.

The second method is the fastest and most cost-effective.

The first option is to exchange recruitment scrolls at the war merit shop.

Cao Xing doesn't have any ideas yet.

The reason is that the names of these military units are quite strange, as they are all related to blood.

Cao Xing had no intention of raising a group of bloodsucking monsters in his territory.

Besides that, there is an even more important reason.

"Next, if this bloody rebellion can be brought to a successful conclusion, I plan to expand my territory for the third time."

"And this time, it's the largest expansion in history."

"I plan to upgrade directly to the mega-city level!"

"However... to build a giant city, in addition to a huge amount of resources, a large population is also needed."

“Whether it’s building city walls or various other structures, it’s a huge undertaking that can’t be completed overnight.”

"Currently, I have enough combat personnel in my territory. The remaining population should be mainly used to expand the workforce."

Cao Xing's eyes shone with a deep light, and he eagerly anticipated the day when his territory could expand to the size of a giant city.

Of course, you still need to exchange these scrolls in the battle merit shop.

Even if you don't summon them now, you can keep them in your inventory and summon them again when you have enough population.

Then, his gaze turned to a black building in the center of the territory.

The building has a streamlined shape and looks like a tall tower.

It is full of the beauty of combining technology and magic.

[Energy Tower: Level 25]

[Floor area: 78.5 square meters]

[Altitude: 28 meters]

[Effect: Can increase the temperature by 15°C to 50°C in an area with a diameter of 10 kilometers]

[Additional Effect: High Energy State (After activating High Energy State, it can provide an additional 20℃~40℃ of heating effect to the territory, but the hourly consumption will increase by 3 times)]

【Consumable: 1 hour / 2 basic energy crystals】

[Materials required for the next level: 10 Refined Iron, 5 Copper, 3 Mithril, 3000 Eternal Gold Ingots, 1000 Magic Pattern Stones, 5000 Master-grade Elemental Crystals]

……

"not bad."

"Compared to the 21-level energy tower, the heating range has been increased from 5 kilometers to 10 kilometers."

"In addition, the maximum heating temperature has also been significantly improved."

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, looked at Du An beside him, and continued, "Well done."

"Next, you will continue to lead the team to upgrade these two buildings."

"Especially the lord's castle, upgrade it to level 20 as soon as possible, our territory needs more people."

The polar man immediately straightened up and replied respectfully, "Yes, sir!"

Cao Xing then looked at Cao Yi, the leader beside him.

It's worth mentioning that this old man was only level 5 when he first arrived in this territory.

After receiving special care from Cao Xing, he even gained the combat power of a fourth-tier fighter.

It can be said that among all the staff in the entire territory, his rank was among the highest.

Despite his significant improvement in strength, Cao Yi has always maintained a low profile and has never put on airs in front of other citizens.

I personally handled all the daily and construction tasks.

Cao Xing said, "Cao Yi, you've worked hard lately."

Ever since he handed over all the logistics work of the territory to Cao Yi, the old man has been working very hard.

He managed all affairs, big and small, in the territory in an orderly manner.

Cao Yi humbly replied, "Your Excellency is too kind. This is all I should do."

"And it's also because the other residents are quite cooperative."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then continued, "What is the current situation in our territory?"

The old man, Cao Yi, replied, "My lord, we have been focusing all our efforts on building the city wall and upgrading it to the expert-level Frost Wall."

"The current progress is two-thirds complete, and the last hundred or so sections of the city wall can be completed within ten days."

"Then, we also built a total of 47 'Corrosion Arrow Towers', which, together with various expert-level elemental arrow towers, can provide effective defense."

After a pause, Cao Yi continued, "Besides that, there are those large siege equipment."

"Mr. Goblin Locke has recently produced 11 Frost Catapults."

"In addition, Mr. Harold of the blacksmith shop also forged eight Neros cannons."

"These powerful devices have all been installed on the city walls."

"Furthermore, we have made some improvements to these catapults and cannons, installing several wheels on each device so that they can move quickly on the city walls to support other positions."

After Cao Yi finished speaking, a satisfied look appeared on Cao Xing's face again.

Now, with these defensive buildings in his territory, he is already prepared to deal with large-scale enemy attacks.

Even heroes-level powerhouses dare not face such concentrated fire from so many large artillery pieces.

However… Hero-level creatures pose no threat to him what he needs is power at the legendary level or higher.

He thought to himself, "This time, the battle merit shop has a legendary quality blueprint. A blueprint of this level must be extremely powerful."

"Looks like I'll have to accumulate some battle merits and figure out a way to exchange them for it."

Cao Xing continued to look at the old man in front of him and praised, "You did a great job, Cao Yi."

"I told you a while ago that the territory may be undergoing a large-scale expansion, developing into a large city."

What are your thoughts on what I mentioned?

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression turned serious.

"My lord... I have recently read quite a few books on management and have gained some insights."

"However... I've only ever managed the population of a small village before, and I have absolutely no experience managing large cities."

"I might... feel a bit overwhelmed."

At this point, he raised his head and glanced at Cao Xing somewhat nervously, as if afraid that his answer would anger the lord.

Cao Xing smiled, his tone reassuring: "It's alright, I know that managing a large city is a difficult task."

"You definitely can't do it alone."

"So next, I will assign you some relevant talents so that they can learn from you and make progress together."

"If I encounter a problem that I really can't solve, I can also go to the Frostbite capital city and ask the Ice Crystal King to borrow some management talent."

"At that time, you can also ask them for relevant management experience."

He genuinely thought so; after all, given his relationship with the Ice Crystal King, he would certainly not refuse to borrow a few people from him.

Of course... whether or not to return him to him is a matter for later.

Upon hearing Cao Xing's arrangements, the old man Cao Yi visibly relaxed.

He nodded, a hint of determination in his voice: "Then... I can give it a try."

Cao Xing smiled approvingly. "Very good, I believe in your abilities."

"However... if our territory is to carry out the third phase of expansion, we still need a lot of preparatory work."

"Next, I'm going to give you a task."

Cao Yi immediately straightened up and said solemnly, "Lord, please give your orders."

Cao Xing slowly said, "In a little while, you will select a few people to go to various places in the raging snowfield and take in all the refugees from those villages or towns that have been destroyed."

"If we encounter any fleeing soldiers on the road, we can bring them back as well."

"Tell them that we have a prosperous and stable territory here, where they can eat their fill and stay warm, without having to worry about the threats of wild beasts and monsters."

Although this old man only had a fourth-tier combat strength, after receiving various blessings, his true combat strength was enough to crush a tenth-tier mutated overlord.

Even if he just takes a few staff members out, they can sweep across the entire snowy plains.

Cao Yi understood the importance of this matter and immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Lord!"

"I'll go out and carry it out right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wing of wind appeared behind the old man, carrying him to the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

Then, he selected several strong and healthy young men who were working.

After giving a few instructions, he led them out of the territory.

Cao Xing has absolutely no need to worry about Cao Yi's professional abilities.

Presumably, a large number of people will soon come to his territory.

"However... the population explosion also means that the resources needed every day will increase exponentially."

"With a population of over 10,000, the consumption of food alone is an astronomical figure."

"Furthermore, I plan to expand the megacity, which will require an even greater amount of resources."

Thinking of this, the image of King Velen involuntarily appeared in Cao Xing's mind.

"This guy said last time that he moved the kingdom's resources to another hidden place."

"Hopefully... the resources there are enough to support me in completing the third phase of expansion."
