Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 299 Level 3 Anchorage

"It's like I've been flagged as a criminal."

Qin Ziwen had a thought and focused on the unfolding.

[Hidden Achievement] Bloody Road (Part 1)

→【Condition】In a single map session, eliminate 70% of the total population of the enemy's residential area.

He hadn't expected there to be such a hidden achievement; were there any other besides the Bloody Road?

Regardless, this bloody path at least provided a utility card.

And it's anchored.

Qin Ziwen had an idea, took out the reward, and used it directly.

[Activation Function: Level 3 Anchorage]

[Privileges elevated, current privileges: Level 4 (5/16)]

[Level 3 Anchor Link: ① After locking onto a target neighborhood, a permanent anchor point can be established within that neighborhood. This anchor point allows travel to that neighborhood from within your home base. ② An anchor point can be left in any map area. Activating the anchor point allows you to traverse the map to its location. This ability requires Anchor Link Lv3, Backtrack Lv3, and Node Lv3. If the anchor point is located on another map, its duration is affected by the Backtrack function's duration. Current anchorable quantity: 3]

Qin Ziwen carefully read the explanation.

Now I finally understand why I saw that anchor point in the underground cave where the Giant Rock Dragon was found in the previous desert map.

Simply put, once the anchor level reaches level three, in addition to the number of anchor points increasing by 1.

It can also leave anchor points across the map.

It seems to overlap with the backtracking function, but after each backtracking, the destination is fixed and can only be the location where the community once stayed.

In other words, no matter how many times he backtracks, the backtracking channel he opens each time is always at a fixed position.

Now there is another option: anchor marks can be imprinted on other areas.

Essentially, after returning to the forest map with the harpy eagle, he can ride the eagle and fly outwards to the grasslands. Then, he can find a location on the grasslands to leave a mark, and when the anchor mark is activated again, he will emerge from the grasslands.

If they find some plants or animal herds that are inconvenient to transplant but have great value on the old map, they can leave an anchor mark nearby.

Then harvest at fixed intervals.

"hiss--"

Thinking about this, Qin Ziwen suddenly understood why the mysterious being was in such a hurry after the Giant Rock Dragon was hunted down.

It turns out they not only ate the meat in the pot, but also took the pot and the firewood with them.

No wonder he would use the internet cable to do his own thing.

Thinking about this, Qin Ziwen felt that if he found anything of value in the future, it would be best to move it directly to his own home.

If you stay outside, a new residential area might pop up nearby at any time. If a residential area exists, the map won't be open, and you can only watch helplessly as NTR (Netorare, a form of incest) occurs.

"President, they've all drunk the spring water, and their injuries have basically stabilized," Cao Biansheng reported.

"Okay, have someone carry the injured back later and search the entire building." Qin Ziwen didn't hold out much hope.

After all, things have come to this point, so the most valuable things inside the building are probably the ironware and iron-related crops.

There's no way there would be any cards left.

But unexpectedly, there was one that slipped through the net. Qin Ziwu ran over and mysteriously handed over a card. "Brother, Brother Deng found this card in a secret compartment on the top floor."

"There are cards too?"

Qin Ziwen was somewhat surprised and took the card.

[Advanced Resource Card] Level 1 River of Life (Growth Resource)
[Building Requirements] 1000*50 (can be an irregular curve)

After reviewing the building requirements, Qin Ziwen instantly understood why this card had been left unused.

The required area is a full 50,000 square meters, but his current total area is only 55198 square meters, barely enough to fit the river in. Not to mention others at the same stage, this card is simply not a resource point that can be built at this point.

Furthermore, if a river is successfully built into the homestead, and fish can be raised in it, the food problem will be greatly alleviated.

Looks like I need to stock up on some expansion cards.

He had previously obtained a batch of (micro) and (small) expansion cards, but these expansion cards were given to other members of the Qin Alliance based on their contributions.

Others also have the need for space expansion. The micro expansion card only adds 100 square meters of space, while one large expansion card is equivalent to 100 micro expansion cards.

"Did Deng Guang discover this?" Qin Ziwen asked.

“Yes, when Brother Deng went to search for things, he looked in a few places according to his usual method of hiding his secret stash of money, and just happened to find this one.”

Qin Ziwen couldn't help but marvel at how perfectly they were in sync in this regard.

"Okay, I'll talk to Deng Guang later."

After putting away the cards, Yang Long acted quickly and asked someone to bring over some makeshift stretchers.

With everyone's help, they carried the stretchers and carried the injured, whose conditions had stabilized, back to their homes.

This was Yang Long's first time visiting Qin Meng's home. He looked up at the high dome and the vast space, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes.

"Let's go, let's go back," Qin Ziwu called out to him.

Yang Long followed the group back to the oppressive Hongding Building. The image of that home he had just left still lingered in his mind.

"Hey"

With a sigh, Yang Long felt a mix of emotions.

One can get a glimpse of the whole picture from one's own home.

The gap is not just about the weapons on both sides, but also includes many other, deeper things.

Such a prosperous homeland must have had a high level of architecture, which explains why they were able to build catapults, crossbows mounted on carts, and suits of iron armor.

Take the simplest armor, for example; it would be extremely difficult for them, living in an urban village, to build even one.

They have iron ore, but in addition to iron ore, they also need skilled blacksmiths and exquisite craftsmanship.

"President Qin." Yang Long approached Qin Ziwen, bowed, and looked at him with a complicated expression, like a suspect awaiting sentencing.

Now the blood-written words are gone, only their Jianghu (江湖, a term referring to the martial arts world or江湖义气, a code of honor among江湖义气) in the urban village remains.

Without the blood oath as a restraint, is there any need for their Jianghu Society to continue existing?

Put yourself in his shoes; if it were him, what would you do?

Thinking of this, Yang Long sighed softly in his heart.

The weak have no right to choose.

Can only accept.

Qin Ziwen's voice came over, "From now on, the Hongding Building will be yours. Now that the war is over, we will no longer provide free food. However, our Qin Alliance is still short of some workers. If you residents of the urban village are interested, you can come and work for us. We can use food as payment."

After hearing this, Yang Long broke out in a cold sweat and secretly breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't the worst outcome.

He's still alive, and it seems Qin Meng has no intention of interfering in his position as the head of the Jianghu Association.

As for other things, he didn't have the energy to think about them right now.

"Thank you very much, Chairman Qin," Yang Long said gratefully.

Qin Ziwen smiled, but what he really wanted to say was, "Don't thank me so soon."

But upon closer reflection, some things don't need to be said so explicitly; the best approach is to boil the frog in lukewarm water.
