Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Lin Mo selected an abandoned warehouse area on the map and drew a circle on it with his finger.

A pop-up message box appears.

[This plot of land contains abandoned buildings. Should we consume 100 Hegemony Points to immediately remove them?]

"Clear".

Lin Mo confirmed.

The next second, the warehouse was instantly reduced to ashes.

……

Meanwhile, at the abandoned warehouse in the north of the city.

Dozens of bored people were gathered here, pointing and talking about the miracle that had just happened in the direction of the central square.

"Old Li, what did you just say? A tall monument rising from the ground in the city center? Really?"

"Why would I lie to you! I saw it with my own eyes! A flash of golden light, and with a 'boom,' a black stone tablet taller than a three-story building burst forth from the ground!"

"My goodness, is this Lin Ye's doing again?"

"Of course! Who else but Immortal Lin has that ability!"

Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook.

Immediately afterwards, the old warehouse, which had been abandoned for more than a decade, collapsed and disintegrated after a slight tremor, eventually turning into dust.

The whole process was ridiculously fast.

A man who was hiding in a corner of the warehouse, "watering" the wall, felt a chill in front of him before he could even pull up his pants.

He instinctively looked up and found that the wall was gone.

Looking up again, the roof was gone.

He walked his bird around under the watchful eyes of dozens of people.

The air was completely silent.

A few seconds later.

"Ouch!"

An older woman was the first to react, dramatically covering her eyes while straining to peek out through her fingers.

"This young man, I didn't realize he was so well-endowed!"

"Exactly, much better than my deadbeat husband!"

"Sister-in-law Zhao, if your husband hears you say that, he'll beat you to death!"

"Holy crap! What happened?!"

The man walking his bird then realized what was happening and hurriedly pulled up his pants.

"You've hit the jackpot!"

A peddler looked on with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"The spot where you just peed has caught the eye of the Fairy Lin! He's going to build you a new house there!"

"Lin...the Immortal Lin?"

The man was dumbfounded.

"That's right! It's Master Lin! Master Lin has appeared again!"

Wang Ermazi suddenly reappeared from somewhere, pointing at the open space, trembling with excitement.

"See that?! Immortal Lin is going to undertake a major construction project here to benefit the people!"

……

Inside Tianxin Pavilion, the system notification sounded at the right time.

[Ding! New act of devotion detected. Believers +53.]

[Ding! Hegemony Points +553!]

"Not bad, not bad, even a mosquito's leg is still meat."

Lin Mo looked at the small number on the panel that jumped up again with a smug look, feeling that he was one step closer to becoming the richest man in the hegemony.

He ignored the group's discussion, and a new notification popped up in his mind again.

[Ding! The land has been cleared. Do you wish to build the "Suppressing Office"?]

"put up."

Lin Mo confirmed it directly.

[Domination Points - 5000]

[Timber - 600]

【Stone Material - 800】

Looking at the resources on the panel, which had shrunk again, Lin Mo didn't feel any heartache.

Just kidding, this is called investing.

No, this is called necessary expenditure to maintain the harmony and stability of Blackwind City and to ensure the happiness of all its residents.

I, Lin Mo, am truly a good city lord who cares for the city and its people.

……

Almost at the same time that Lin Mo confirmed it.

Suddenly, a thick fog rolled in over the cleared land, enveloping the entire area.

Golden light shimmered in the mist, and the faint sounds of knocking and woodworking could be heard.

"Not again...?"

The onlookers went from shock to anticipation, craning their necks to look inside.

"Hey, what do you guys think Lin Shenxian is going to build this time?"

An older woman asked curiously.

A man with a hoe nearby rolled his eyes and lowered his voice:

"I bet they'll build a huge granary! A golden granary! Then we'll never have to worry about food again!"

"I think it's like building a giant public bathhouse!"

A butcher grinned foolishly.

"Then everyone in the city can go in for a bath, and I'll finally be able to wash all this grease off!"

The man walking his bird retorted with a serious expression.

"You've all narrowed your horizons! Your vision has become too limited!"

"In my opinion, Immortal Lin is going to build us a super-sized outhouse! We'll never have to relieve ourselves anywhere again!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cast disdainful glances at him.

An old scholar with a face full of reverence couldn't listen any longer. He cleared his throat and put on an expression that said, "You are all just mortals."

"Nonsense! How could something built by a deity be an ordinary object?"

"This must be a magnificent temple! Used to worship him! We can go there to offer incense and pray for blessings in the future!"

Just as everyone was arguing fiercely...

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, the thick fog suddenly contracted inward and then dissipated with a roar.

A massive, pitch-black building with a menacing design appeared out of nowhere before everyone.

The building was constructed of some kind of stone, its blackness deep and oppressive, reflecting no light at all in the sunlight.

The roof is a double-eaved hip roof with sharp lines.

On the four corners of the eaves, four ferocious monsters whose names were unknown crouched, glaring menacingly at the masses below.

The main gate consists of two heavy black lacquered doors, without any door gods on them, only a pair of lifelike and ferocious beast heads carved on them.

The beast's head had wide-open eyes, as if it might come to life at any moment and devour someone.

Above the main gate hangs a black plaque with gold lettering, bearing the three large characters: Zhenfu Division.

A cold, austere, and unassailable aura of authority emanates from the building.

The chattering crowd fell silent instantly.

Everyone felt a chill run from their feet to their heads, and the hairs on the back of their necks stood on end. They didn't even dare to breathe.

A public bathhouse?

outhouse?

Temple?

This looks even scarier than the King of Hell's palace!

The man walking his bird opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but not a single word came out of his throat.

He could only feel his legs trembling violently.

Is this...is this really something made by a god?

This looks like a place where they'd arrest people and torture them!

……

Inside Tianxin Pavilion.

Lin Mo looked at the imposing Zhenfu Division and nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of a grand gesture with 5,000 Hegemony Points, just looking at the design, it exudes a high level of sophistication.

Just then.

[Ding! The Garrison Command has been completed. You can recruit and train "Imperial Guards" here to efficiently maintain order within the city.]

[Would you like to consume 2000 Hegemony Points and 500 Food to recruit 50 initial elite guards?]

Fifty people?

Is that a bit too little?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. These elite units certainly can't be mass-produced like ordinary soldiers.

"recruit!"

Lin Mo confirmed it decisively.

The Hegemony Points will be reduced by another 2000.

He now understands how difficult it is to be in charge; everything costs money.

No, it means you have to be domineering in everything you do.

……

North of the city, in front of the Zhenfusi Gate.

Just when all the people were about to suffocate under that chilling aura.

"Squeak—"

A long, drawn-out scraping sound rang out, and the tightly closed black lacquered door slowly opened.

An even colder aura than before leaked out from the crack in the door.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

coming!

coming soon!

What's inside the door?

Under the tense yet curious gazes of the crowd, pairs of black boots made of fine iron stepped out from the crack in the door.
