Lin Mo's mind raced as he frantically tried to find a way to salvage the situation.

But then, with a "ding," several large, golden characters popped up on the huge "Map of Mountains and Rivers" panel.

[Building functionality is now unlocked!]

[Can perform the following actions on all buildings within Blackwind City: construction, modification, demolition, repair...]

[This is the first time the host has unlocked this feature. 5000 Hegemony Points will be awarded as a gift!]

[Tip: You can use Hegemony Points to generate or repair buildings with a single click, so Mom won't have to worry about my city planning anymore!]

Holy crap!?

Isn't this just a simulation of city building?

They even give you initial funding?

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he no longer cared about the fact that his cheat had been exposed.

"My husband, my husband!"

Gu Ling'er excitedly rushed over, pointing at the "Demolish" option on the panel, her eyes shining.

"Demolition! I want to play that demolition game!"

She pointed to the messy barbarian wooden houses and stone walls of Bailang Village.

"Look at these houses, they're ugly and take up so much space, they're like dog kennels! I'll tear them down for you, and we'll rebuild them, okay?"

A vein throbbed on Lin Mo's forehead.

This girl adapted quickly; while others were still confused, she had already started figuring out how to use her cheat.

They're either obsessed with explosions or obsessed with demolition.

Could it be that this girl has husky traits in her DNA?

"Stop!"

Lin Mo flicked Gu Ling'er's forehead with a flick of his wrist.

"You spendthrift girl, do you think demolition compensation doesn't cost money?"

"You think this is a game where you just click? No, this actually does seem like a game..."

Lin Mo couldn't finish his rant.

He forced a serious expression and cleared his throat:

"I want to build, not destroy! It would be such a waste to tear it down; it's fine to keep it as a warehouse!"

"Oh……"

Gu Ling'er covered her forehead and pouted her little mouth, looking aggrieved.

Lin Mo ignored her and scanned the map, finally landing on the huge gap in the south wall that Gu Ling'er had blasted open.

He stretched out his finger and gently tapped the red, broken icon on the map.

[Severe damage was detected to the south wall of Bailang Village. Should it be repaired?]

[Required Resources: 50 Stone, 20 Wood, 100 Hegemony Points]

"repair."

Lin Mo uttered two words calmly.

The next second, everyone present witnessed a scene that would be unforgettable for them and would shatter their worldview.

In the distance, there was a huge breach in the city wall, still emitting black smoke.

Countless pebbles, bricks, and dirt, as if grasped by invisible giant hands, were instantly and irrationally swept upwards from the ground into the sky!

They spin, polish, recombine, and assemble rapidly in the air!

"Boom!"

The dull, loud noises continued for less than ten breaths.

That grotesque gap was visibly filled and smoothed out.

The brand-new walls gleamed with a solid color in the firelight, blending perfectly with the surrounding walls as if they had never been damaged.

"..."

The entire venue was deathly silent.

The wind blew, carrying the stench of blood from the ground, but it couldn't dispel the shock that was frozen in place.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the perfectly intact city wall, then at Lin Mo, who remained calm and composed.

"Clang!"

Someone dropped their knife, making a crisp sound.

Immediately afterwards, one of the guards knelt down with a "thud".

"Lord of the Manor...Lord of the Manor is a deity! A deity descended to earth!"

His voice was choked with sobs, filled with the awe and trembling of a mortal witnessing a miracle.

Once someone shouted that, the others couldn't hold back any longer.

"Splash! Splash!"

The guards who were still standing in the courtyard all knelt down on the ground in unison, their movements even more synchronized than during their usual drills.

Fanaticism, worship, awe...

A mix of emotions clung to their faces.

Lin Mo was a little embarrassed by this scene, so he quickly closed the [Map of Mountains and Rivers] panel with a thought.

"Get up, all of you!"

He cleared his throat and pointed to the chaotic battlefield behind him.

"Go clean up the battlefield, inventory the spoils, and treat the wounded! Everyone, get to work!"

"Yes! I will obey the Lord's decree!"

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone charged onto the battlefield with frenzied enthusiasm, carrying out the "decree of God."

Upon hearing the words "divine oracle," Lin Mo's lips twitched.

Gu Ling'er still wanted to stick close to Lin Mo and make him perform another "one-click demolition".

As a result, Qin Ruxue walked over calmly and took her hand.

"Ling'er, stop fooling around. Your husband is thinking about important matters."

"I'll take you to see the spoils of war. I've heard the barbarians have hidden a lot of good stuff."

"Spoils of war?"

Gu Ling'er's attention was instantly diverted.

Qin Ruxue pulled her along, and before leaving, she gave Lin Mo a "it's all settled" look.

Lin Mo felt a warmth in his heart; his second wife was still the most considerate.

Once everyone was busy, Lin Mo found a quiet corner to study this incredibly powerful new module in peace.

This time, however, he learned his lesson.

Instead of opening it directly, I focused my mind on it.

"Open the 'Land and Rivers Domination Map' in privacy mode!"

This time, the panel didn't appear in front of him, but unfolded in his mind.

Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, there's a privacy mode.

Otherwise, every time I use cheats, I'll have to find a secluded place, like I'm doing something wrong, which would be too undignified.

The interface of 【Mountains and Rivers Hegemony Map】 is very well organized.

In the middle is a huge real-time dynamic map, something like that.

Above the map is a row of function options.

Territory, Construction, Military, Technology, Missions...

Lin Mo had a sudden thought and clicked on the [Task] option.

He was curious about what kind of tasks an infrastructure system could issue.

Daily Task: Repair the West City sewers. Reward: +5 to Popular Support, 1 random resource pack.

Daily Task: Renovate the South City Slums. Reward: +5 to Popular Support, 1 Random Resource Pack.

[Bandit Suppression Mission: Eradicate the bandits in Black Wind Mountain. Rewards: Popular Support +10, Public Security +20, Hegemony Points 500, Random Troop Pack x1.]

……

Looking through the row, they were all routine operations involving repairs and minor skirmishes.

That's it?

That's too easy.

Lin Mo pursed his lips, just about to turn it off.

Suddenly, at the very bottom of the list, a task emitting an eerie purple light caught his attention.

[Adventure Quest: Awaken the Sleeping Witch]

【award:???】

The Sleeping Witch?

This art style is off!

I'm playing a proper game of conquering and building infrastructure, so why did a witch suddenly appear?

However... the reward is marked with three question marks, so it must be something special.

Lin Mo clicked on the "Tracking" button next to the task without hesitation.

In an instant, a previously dim area on the map of mountains and rivers was illuminated.

In the center of that area, a point of light automatically locked onto itself.

It was a light spot that was completely different from all the other light spots, shimmering with an eerie purple light.

Lin Mo subconsciously tapped the light spot.

A brand new panel of beauties popped up in his mind.

【beauty】:? ? ?

[Status]: Sleeping

[Beauty Rating]: 100/100 (???)

【Intimacy Level】:0/100

[Exclusive Talent]: ? ? ? (Not activated)

[Inner Voice]: ... (Poor signal reception, unable to read)...

Lin Mo's mind went blank.

He stared intently at the "Beauty Rating" column, the "100/100" below feeling like two red-hot irons, burning his retina.

One hundred points?

Full marks?

He remembered clearly that among all the people he had ever met, even the stunningly beautiful Liu Yiyi only had an initial beauty score of 99.

What's up with this stunningly beautiful witch who's a perfect 100?!
