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

Chapter 663 The Magical Dream Library, Mechanical Domination.

Cao Xing stood at the very front, silently calculating in his mind.

Of the 514 people who made the breakthrough, 474 were successful, which is a pretty good success rate.

Then, Cao Xing had the remaining 40 people come up to receive the second Heart of Power and undergo their second breakthrough.

Later on, everyone successfully broke through.

Of the 629 Hearts of Power, he had 32 left.

The success rate is quite good.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction and continued, "As you can see, those who have just broken through to the Grandmaster level are all veterans from our territory."

“Recently, our territory has seen a large influx of new people. Compared to them, you are indeed still very weak.”

"But don't be discouraged."

"From now on, as long as you contribute to the territory, you will all receive the same treatment and the same rewards!"

"As your lord, I will help you grow stronger and stronger, so that you can soon reach the same level as these veterans!"

"It's not just combat personnel, but also other staff members."

"As long as you put in the effort, you will definitely get the reward you deserve."

"Let us work together to build a prosperous territory!"

As soon as Cao Xing finished speaking, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Long live the lord!"

"We will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations!"

"I'm willing to give everything for this territory!"

The new recruits' eyes were filled with hope and fighting spirit, and their loyalty also skyrocketed!

After all, they had been in this territory for several days and had witnessed its prosperity and power firsthand.

They also knew how powerful this lord was!
The other party wasn't just making empty promises; they genuinely had that capability.

In an instant, these people were completely engulfed in fanaticism!
Then, Cao Xing stretched out his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The frenzied crowd gradually calmed down.

All eyes were on him, waiting for his next words.

Cao Xing continued, "Currently, our territory can be described as having a strong army and sufficient personnel."

"But with the expansion of our population, the current area of ​​our territory is no longer sufficient to meet our daily needs."

"So soon, our territory will enter a completely new stage of development."

"From this day forward, territory development will officially enter its third phase – the Megacity Project!"

Upon hearing this, the more than 8,000 people below exchanged glances, their hearts filled with shock and excitement!
Giant City!

That was a place only nobles, wealthy merchants, and other upper-class people could live in.

I wonder how many people dream of living in the city.

However, in this extremely cold world, the difficulty of building a giant city is beyond imagination.

Every great city is a shelter built with massive resources and countless civilians' blood and bones.

And now, this lord actually says that they are going to start building a giant city of their own!
In an instant, everyone felt an indescribable sense of pride and mission.

"A giant city! I never imagined that one day we would be able to participate in the construction of a giant city."

"Incredible! This territory still looks so young, yet it's already growing to the size of a giant city!"

"That's great! As long as we work together, we can all live in the city someday!"

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd once again, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation!

They're even eager to make a big splash!
At this moment, Cao Xing continued:
"However, although our territory has sufficient personnel prepared."

"But we still need a lot of resources to build a giant city."

"Whether it's timber, stone, coal, or iron and other basic resources, the required quantities are astronomical."

"Therefore, our first step is to collect resources with all our might."

"Next, I will send a large number of staff out, divided into collection teams, to mine resources in those large mineral veins outside the territory."

"Each group will be equipped with sufficient security personnel to ensure everyone's safety."

"Remember, this megacity is not just my goal, but the future of many others!"

"Let's work together to accomplish this great plan!"

The crowd shouted loudly.

"I am willing to do everything in my power for this territory!!!"

Then, Cao Xing spent about twenty minutes selecting about 2,500 people.

They were divided into 25 collection teams, each consisting of 100 people.

They also had Dazhuang select a group of polar people to form a special transport team.

Their only task was to travel to various mining areas and transport minerals back and forth.

Anyway, after this period of production, the total number of transport vehicles in the entire territory has exceeded fifty.

Two transport vehicles are allocated to each resource point for round-trip transportation, which is more than enough.

With the assistance of goblin airships, the transportation efficiency is quite high.

After making these arrangements, Cao Xing ordered, "Now, let's get started."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

After he finished speaking, several thousand people left the place in droves.

The transport convoy rumbled as it made an orderly exit from the territory.

Those combat personnel also received their own missions.

Soon, only Cao Xing and a few core combat personnel remained.

After most of the people had left, Cao Xing made a few more phone calls to make contact.

After hanging up the call, Cao Xing clapped his hands and said, "The preliminary preparations are almost done."

"Now I also need to find a way to get more resources to help with the development of the territory."

After all, most of what those workers were mining were just basic resources.

Building a large city also requires many high-level materials such as mithril, eternal gold, and magic stone.

Although he also controlled several high-grade mineral veins, it was clearly not enough to rely solely on mining.

So Cao Xing pressed the communication device to his ear and said.

"Zeverin, come find me in the central square."

"Yes."

Not long after the call ended, a figure dressed in a dark purple robe walked over with steady steps.

"Lord Lord."

King Velen bowed respectfully, appearing quite reserved.

Ever since the bloody chaos ended, he had been feeling uneasy.

He was afraid that Cao Xing would think he was no longer useful and kill him directly.

Furthermore, with the increasing number of legendary powerhouses in this territory, losing one more combatant like King Velen will have virtually no impact.

This made him even more anxious.

Cao Xing didn't intend to kill him for the time being, but instead said directly.

"Zevilin, the Bloody Rebellion is now over."

"As you know, my territory requires a lot of resources to develop."

"Now, it's time to fulfill what you promised me."

King Velen's expression immediately turned serious, and he knew what Cao Xing was referring to.

This time, he didn't hesitate at all and readily replied, "Yes, I'll take you there right away and open the kingdom's hidden treasure vault."

"The resources inside are plentiful; they should be enough to replenish the territory."

However, Cao Xing continued to shake his head and said, "I need to sort out some things in the territory next, so I don't have time to go out."

“I’ll send a few men with you to open that treasure.”

King Velen paused, taken aback.

At this moment, Cao Xing pressed the communication device next to his ear.

"Ice Orchid, Isabel, come here."

The gentle voice of the Holy Light Sage echoed in my ears once more.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

Not long after he hung up the call, two beautiful figures came to his side.

The Holy Light Sage on the left is gentle and holy, warming one's heart at first glance.

The Dragon Queen on the right is cold and majestic, inspiring awe.

These are two completely different women.

Cao Xing said, "Next, you and Zevilin will go to a place to open a hidden treasure vault."

"Bring everything inside back."

Isabel's expression shifted slightly. "I understand."

Without saying a word, Binglan leaped onto Serafis's back.

Then, looking at the middle-aged man below, he said calmly, "Come up."

King Velen immediately obeyed and went over, leaping onto the dragon's back.

Isabel gracefully leaped onto the dragon's back and stood still.

Then, Serafis transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon with the three of them.

After watching them leave.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Next, I can do something else."

"The 'Dream Library' has been set up."

With that in mind, he quickly arrived at the second ring area of ​​the territory.

This is the residential area of ​​the territory, much quieter than the industrial area outside.

Everyone is busy right now, and there are hardly any people around here.

Then, he went to the area next to the former library and found an open space. He then took out the special building prop from his backpack.

Before it was placed, it looked like a transparent crystal ball, or a light bubble, and you couldn't feel any weight when you held it in your hand.

A faint halo of light flowed across the surface of the sphere, and the outline of a magnificent building could be vaguely seen inside.

"Architecture on your palm? That's interesting." Cao Xing smiled.

Should a special building, the Dream Library (Legendary), be placed in this area?

(Note: At least 400 square meters of open space needs to be reserved before placement.)
"Yes."

Cao Xing clicked "Confirm".

The bubble in my hand gradually rose into the air and rapidly expanded.

It was like a bright star, emitting a soft light, before slowly descending onto the open ground.

At the same time, some strange change occurred in that area.

Through the light curtain, Cao Xing saw a large number of buildings inside.

Magnificent buildings sprang up from the ground, rapidly spreading out like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and a city emerged in a short period of time.

Then, this magnificent city began to show signs of age and decay under the erosion of time.

The last buildings began to collapse, turning into ruins.

Then the scene changes again.

This time, Cao Xing saw a group of special creatures building towering towers that reached the sky on the earth.

They knelt and prayed repeatedly before the tower, seemingly performing some kind of blessing ceremony.

But these towers didn't last long, collapsing under the onslaught of various natural disasters.

After that, many more scenes appeared, keeping Cao Xing entertained.

In just a few seconds, it felt as if the rise and fall of countless civilizations had taken place.

Finally, when all the light faded.

This unique building has returned to tranquility.

In front of Cao Xing, a simple and ancient building stood quietly.

Its surface was still covered by a huge bubble, like a protective film, sheltering it.

The building's exterior is simple and solemn, with a color scheme of red, blue and black throughout, and you can feel its extraordinary nature just by looking at it.

[Placement successful! A new legendary building has been added to the territory: Dream Library, increasing prosperity by 500 and reputation by 2]

……

The prompt ended, and Cao Xing looked at the massive building in front of him, lost in thought.

After opening the building interface and examining it in detail, a look of sudden realization dawned on his eyes.

"I see. Under normal circumstances, this library can also house various books for everyone to read."

"Moreover, reading books in the Dream Library will greatly improve reading efficiency and also increase the attributes gained after reading."

"But if the second function is activated, which is to enter the dream, the library will be closed."

"No one can enter except the person who is currently dreaming."

After figuring this out, Cao Xing thought, "It seems I need to find someone to test the effects of that dream."

So he shouted it out.

"Sarah."

A shadowy figure reappeared and respectfully said, "My lord, I am here."

"Go to this library and try out the effects inside."

Sarah glanced at it and replied without hesitation.

"Yes, I'll be right there."

After saying that, she prepared to pass directly through the bubble and enter the building.

Cao Xing quickly stopped her, "Wait a minute."

Sarah stopped in her tracks, staring blankly at her lord.

Cao Xing continued, "Let me tell you about the things you might encounter after you go in."

"First, you might fall asleep after entering, and then fall into some kind of deep dream."

"I don't know if time in the dream is the same as in the outside world, but according to our outside time, you will need seven days to wake up."

"Seven days later, when the dream ends, you can choose to bring one item from the dream into reality."

Upon hearing this, an expression of disbelief gradually appeared in the eyes of the phantom dancer.

"Bringing things from dreams... into reality?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes."

Sarah still found it hard to believe.

But she still replied respectfully, "I understand, my lord. I will bring back the most important thing from the dream."

Cao Xing chuckled: "Very good."

After saying that, he took out 10 fragments of divine power from his backpack.

[Infuse the Dream Library (Legendary) with 100 points of divine power to activate the dream entry effect?]

"Yes."

As Cao Xing clicked "confirm," the 10 fragments of divine power transformed into beams of light and entered the building before him.

Then, the bubble that had enveloped the library dissipated, and the closed doors opened automatically.

"Go in," Cao Xing's voice rang out.

"Yes."

Sarah stepped into the bubble and then through the gate.

Once she had completely disappeared into the library, the doors closed again.

The outer bubbles also regrowed.

Meanwhile, on the building interface, the Dream Library is also displayed as 'closed'...

"Next, we'll wait seven days for Sarah to wake up and see how it goes."

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

At that moment, as if he remembered something, a black book appeared out of thin air in his hand.

It was that [Random Epic Skill Book (Survivor Exclusive)].

In the previous battle, he accidentally killed a centurion named Mika Pusblood, completing the reward given by the hidden quest.

Just by looking at the title, you can tell what this book is for.

You can obtain an epic skill book exclusive to survivors, but it's randomly selected from five classes: Aurora Knight, Frost Mage, Arctic Warrior, etc.

It might not sound like much, but it's not bad as an extra reward for killing a centurion.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing placed his hands on it.

[Open this skill book? If opened, you will obtain an epic skill for a random class...]

"Yes." He clicked "OK" directly.

At the same time, the black book was slowly opened, emitting a faint blue light.

You can also see some mechanical patterns on the book.

Seeing this, Cao Xing asked in confusion, "Hmm? Could this be a skill book for a mechanic?"

The next moment, a system notification appeared.

[Activation successful! You have obtained the skill book: Mechanical Mastery (Orange)]

……

I glanced at the attributes.

[Skill Book: Mechanical Mastery (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Occupation: Cold Iron Mechanic]

[Learning Requirements: Level 60 or above, Advanced Mechanical Mastery.]

[Skill Effect: When the durability of an enemy mechanical creature is reduced to below 30%, consume a large amount of mechanical power to invade the opponent's core system and cause it to fall into a state of chaos.]

There is also a chance to convert the mechanical creature into a friendly unit.

The success rate of conversion is determined by the 'Mechanical Proficiency' level.

The success rate for Advanced Mechanical Mastery is 50%, for Expert Mechanical Mastery it's 60%, for Master Mechanical Mastery it's 70%, and so on.

[Skill Cost: 500 Mechanical Power]

[Skill Cooldown: 5 minutes]

……

After reading the attributes of this skill book, Cao Xing's eyes lit up with realization.

"As expected, it's a skill book for the Cold Iron Mechanic."

"Transform hostile mechanical creatures... and the success rate depends on the level of the 'Mechanical Mastery' skill."

"The effect doesn't seem to be very good..."

At least Cao Xing didn't expect that this skill book would come in handy in any way.

But overall, it's better than nothing.

So he pressed the communication device to his ear and called Tong Chuchu over.

After all, she was the only mechanic in the entire territory, so this skill book was definitely meant for her.

A few minutes later, a slender figure quickly arrived at Cao Xing's side.

"Big brother, I'm here. Did you need something from me?" Tong Chuchu's clear and childish voice rang out.

Cao Xing lowered his head, looked at the cute little girl, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

He crouched down and asked, "Little Chuchu, what level have you reached in mechanical proficiency?"

Upon hearing the question, the little girl replied without hesitation, "I've already reached advanced mastery, big brother!"
