Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

Chapter 107 Unlocking New Modules with the Cheat Code

The more joy I had while shooting arrows, the more tragic this moment became. This time it wasn't the Ice Giant; those things don't have blood.

The source beast meat I tested on her a few days ago was frozen meat that I had accumulated as food, and the bloody smell had long since dissipated.

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~"

Wang Zhen's convoy was already approaching in the distance. This time, Sui An had asked him to bring a few more squad leaders he was on good terms with, because the vehicles in the territory combined couldn't handle the load, and his own cold storage couldn't hold it all either.

Although meat only spoils in three or four days, leaving so much meat piled up outside might attract some outrageous source beasts.

"You've added more people again?"

Wang Zhenlai's first words made Sui An and Erhu lose their composure, but he quickly realized that these people were still from the territory, and he was both amused and exasperated.

"Without adding any more people, how come your harvest is getting more and more terrifying? With the amount of source beast meat you have, we probably couldn't finish it even if we sent five more truckloads."

"I didn't plan to give them all to you. I'm keeping these level one and two source beasts for Fang Nian to practice on. It's a bit too much for her to refine level three ones."

Sui An grinned and said, "There are 1,800 of these in total. They're small, and their meat has been beaten to pieces, so I won't give them to you."

Wang Zhen looked at the mountain of meat beside him and said, "Alright, it's good that you have a plan. I don't think we can finish eating all this level-three meat."

"The usual rule, if you can't finish it all, we'll have three trucks deliver it together."

"OK!"

Without further ado, Wang Zhen instructed the team members in the five vehicles to begin loading the trucks, while he himself helped oversee the weighing process.

As for Sui An and the others, the third-grade ones had already been sorted out, and the remaining first and second-grade ones were to be transported to the cellar.

This move left the other four team leaders dumbfounded, with one of the squad leaders, who had never been there before, exclaiming in a low voice.

"Isn't this a level 2 territory? How can these few people eat so much meat?"

The burly squad leader replied in a low voice, "They might have their own alchemist."

The slender squad leader chuckled: "Level 2 territory? Only a fool would believe that. Didn't you hear about the Gun Shield Squad getting wiped out a while back?"

""

"Could this be the territory?" the man exclaimed in a low voice, then couldn't help but look around the territory again, but still couldn't see anything special about it.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover!"

"Judging from your words, you were also brought here by Wang Zhen. Let me tell you, we've already killed double-digit numbers of level four source beasts in this territory."

"Yes, you should go thank Wang Zhen!"

The squad leader with the gun on his back said softly, "If he hadn't called you, would you have been able to fill a truck with level 3 source beast meat? This is three or four times more valuable than the level 1 or 2 meat you usually carry, equivalent to four or five truckloads you would normally carry."

"You're right, I should treat him to a drink tonight!"

"You'll have to call me!"

"I'm here too~"

"Together, together!"

After Wang Zhen finished loading his own vehicle, he began arranging for people to load the three vehicles belonging to the territory. Sui An quickly pulled out the six level-four source beasts separately.

"Let's take this all over with us, and as usual, sell it in Jiangcheng first."

"That big bird—it's a Blue-feathered Eagle!"

"Is this a Shadow Troll, or five of them?"

Wang Zhen jumped up suddenly, and his expression changed as he looked at the big guys in the corner. The two kinds of source beasts were no less powerful than the ice crystal giants.

"It's only your territory; in the other territories, there's a high chance something bad happened last night."

"Fortunately, it's very powerful, but also very fragile; one strike and it's dead."

Sui An chuckled and pulled two pieces of paper from his chest: "Here are two pieces of paper. One is for Aunt Zhao or Uncle Wang, and the other is a list of things I want. As for the money, these big guys will cover it."

"Okay~" Wang Zhen didn't open it to look at it on the spot, but put it directly into his pocket first.

Then he directed his men to separate the six large animals and hide them at the bottom of the truck bed, covering them with other meat. Unlike a military expedition returning home, a transport team cannot display its valuables in the open, nor does it need to make a show of it. Making a fortune quietly is the right thing to do.

In the end, these level-three source beast meat totaled 54.8 tons, just enough to fill Wang Zhen's five vehicles.

On Sui An's side, three vehicles were loaded with 3.6 tons of level 4 source beast meat and 14 tons of level 3 source beast meat, which was quite a full load.

"A total of 4013 Originium. I almost couldn't gather that many Originium for you even after five truckloads."

Wang Zhen tossed down several large bags, each containing a pile of first, second, and third-grade source stones. He didn't bother counting them; he simply placed the bags on a scale and weighed them.

After all, the shape and weight of each level of Originium are basically the same.

Wang Zhen's face was rosy. With these five truckloads towed back, his monthly performance would probably be at least in the top three, and he would receive a larger bonus.

He thought for a moment, then pulled Sui An aside and asked in a low voice, "Did you earn ten thousand that night?"

Sui An mentally estimated: "If we deal with all the remaining meat, and deduct what we consumed last night, we should still have around ten thousand yuan."

"Damn it!" Wang Zhen cursed and turned to leave.

The territory works like this: as long as you are strong enough, you can start taking shortcuts and gain a lot of benefits. If you happen to have a suitable way to quickly convert those benefits into new power...

Congratulations, you've unlocked the snowball effect.

Outside the territory, things were mostly packed up. Wang Zhen left with eight vehicles, leaving only Fang Nian and Sui An in the territory.

The sudden emptiness made Fang Nian feel a little out of place. She didn't know if it was because of the contrast between the lively atmosphere and the sudden quietness, or because she had been away from home for several days for the first time and was feeling homesick.

Sui An stood aside and waited for a while before speaking softly to Fang Nian, who stood like a statue waiting for her husband.

"Fang Nian, don't blame me, I can't let you leave my territory yet."

Hearing the call, Fang Nian quietly turned her head, her crescent-shaped eyes exceptionally bright, her voice clear and firm.

"Boss Sui, I understand. To gain more, you have to give more. Freedom is the least valuable thing to me. After all, I've never even left Jiangcheng in my entire life, so what freedom do I have to speak of?"

Fang Nian's thinking is always so clear, which is probably why she was able to persuade her brother several times. If she weren't so decisive, her brother would not have been willing to let his sister make a bet.

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. If you get tired, go rest on stage."

Sui An didn't press the matter further. If people were only after their own interests, Sui An believed that Fang Nian wouldn't betray him anytime soon.

After all, no one else would give her benefits like she did, and she even had a powerful tool to help her grow.

She herself was just one of many low-level alchemists with no inherent advantages. To receive such treatment at the cost of only one or two years of freedom was far too worthwhile.

If it weren't for personal gain, Fang Nian would have had no reason to betray him. He had no grudges against her family, and everything had been explained beforehand. The choice was something she and her brother had discussed and agreed upon. He hadn't pressured them in any way.

If this is the case, and he can still create some conflict with himself, then Sui An is not planning to develop his territory, so it's pointless.

Back in his room, Sui An couldn't wait to open his Lord Core and take a look.

"Let me see how much money you've made!"

At this moment, Sui An converted all the source stones in the core, and there were a total of 11197!

Subtracting the 1367 coins I had left yesterday, I earned 9630 coins today. This doesn't even include the more than 30 tons of meat I still have in my cellar.

If you add it all up, you've already surpassed 10,000!

"I never imagined that I would have over 10,000 yuan in savings in just two months."

Even many mid-level professionals might not have such savings.

Consuming over 1200 Originium Stones yielded nearly ten times the profit; the key to this incredible profit lies in the magical [Witch's Illusion Altar].

Without this, he would be forced to activate Sword Star to exterminate the Source Beasts, which would consume a lot of resources, result in a severe loss of Source Beast meat, and he would also have to face a series of exaggerated consumptions such as the wall being breached and the barrier consuming energy.

Ultimately, one's own gains will not be very high, while this ridiculously powerful level 3 altar only requires 34 Originium to use once!

Therefore, sword stars and barriers are child's play in front of the witch's altar.

Attack and defense capabilities can, to some extent, be replaced by quantity in terms of quality.

However, the illusion's ability to attract aggro, coupled with its invulnerability to attacks, makes it practically a bug.

If a purple building can double the benefits, then this thing is at least double.

The only drawback is that the area where the illusion is effective is limited. If there are source beasts all around, the effect will plummet and it will not be able to generate such high returns.

But in the Rift Defense War, it is a god!

"With so many Originium, we're going to have some fun!"

Opening his blueprint library, Sui An changed the prayer to an alchemy workshop.

Of its five blue buildings, the elemental statues have been fully enlightened, the flag once, the stage once, the workshop zero times, and the kitchen zero times.

Now that I've accumulated so many Originium, it's enough for me to complete all these blue low-level blueprints and unlock them.

"First, I'll buy 540 Originium and do 180 pulls to see how it goes."

[Basic Source Material *172]

【蓄雷石*2】【松晶石*1】【常燃火种*1】【纯水灵核*1】【岩狮之心*1】

Oz's Lightning Statue *1 [Sugar Alchemy Workshop *1]

"Is it still possible to draw the blueprint for the Elemental Statue?" Sui An wondered, so he paused the card draw and decided to see if anything changed.

Sure enough, a new pop-up window appeared after Sui An clicked "exit".

The building (Thunder Statue of Oz) has been fully inspired; the blueprint has been automatically converted into 54 Starshine.

[First time obtaining Star Power, module (redeemable) is now unlocked]

"Starlight, a new module?"

Sui An was slightly taken aback, and quickly exited the current interface, only to see that the blueprint library interface had changed.

[Beginner Blueprint Library (Unlocked)]

[Limited-Time Epic Blueprint Gallery (Closed)]

【XXXXXXX (Not unlocked)】

【XXXXXXX (Not unlocked)】

【exchange】

It's really unlocked, and it's a permanently unlocked module.

After Sui An clicked to enter again, many grids appeared in front of him. He recognized the items in each grid; they were all the blueprints and materials he had unlocked.

Below are various prices, such as those in blue.

Lightning Stone: 135 (Starlight), Oz's Lightning Statue Blueprint: 270 (Starlight)

And the purple ones are all:

Burning Wish Agate: 450 (Starlight), Dawn Sword Star that Ignites Darkness: 900 (Starlight)

Thinking back to the 54 Starshine he had just received from converting the overflowing blue blueprint, Sui An suddenly roughly understood the exchange principle.

However, still not entirely convinced, he clicked on the instructions above again to read through them and confirmed the redemption rules. Indeed, he could only redeem items that he had already unlocked.

To summarize, this is roughly the situation:

For every five overflow blueprints, you can exchange them for one blueprint of the same grade that you want, or for two core materials that you want.

You can exchange five materials for one material of the same type and grade that you want.

Sui An pulled out his notebook and did some calculations, assuming he had already exhausted all his blue blueprints and the materials were not what he wanted.

540源石=2*54星辉+6*27星辉+172基础源质材料也就是说180抽刚好能换个自己想要的蓝色图纸，但没有任何核心材料了。

But obviously, only a fool would do that.

The only purpose of this item is to exchange items from the permanent pool for items from the limited-time pool.

I'm currently missing one more blueprint for the Witch's Altar to complete three Inspirations, which means I need sixteen duplicate blueprints to redeem it.

"Forget it, the witch's third enlightenment might not be suitable for me either, I'll just draw normally."

Sui An forcibly dismissed the idea that had been dragged into his mind.

Changing the blueprints for this kind of thing isn't cost-effective at this stage, and the inspirational effect is unknown, but changing the materials would create a completely new building.

Especially when all three of my purple buildings are missing a material to upgrade to level four.

"Forget everything else, let's get all the blueprints together first. It's time to show off our financial power!"

【Starlight*216】

Including the previous 180 draws, I've done a total of 1260 draws, spending a total of 3780 Originium. I've now collected all the blue blueprints.

"What amazing luck today! I originally estimated it would take me over 8,000 draws to finish, and the Thunder Stones I got were so plentiful. My wishes have come true today!"

Sui An looked at his harvest with delight. He had basically achieved his goal. All the blueprints were completed and the six level 3 elemental statues were only missing one lightning storage stone.

So I don't plan to keep drawing materials. Instead, I'll spend all the materials I need to build, except for the materials needed to build two more level 3 kitchens and workshops.

Finally, Sui An's obsessive-compulsive disorder kicked in; looking at the lonely level 2 elemental statue, he felt really uncomfortable.

He then spent 135 Stars to buy a Thunderstone.

3级元素石像*6、3级旗子*3、3级舞台*3、3级厨房（1+2待建）、3级工坊（1+2待建）

After completing all the inspirational effects of the drawings, the dazzling array of inspirational effects made Sui An's scalp tingle.

(See the next page for details. Since too many things are being unlocked at once, I won't include the main text here. You can refer to it. If you use these insights later, I will extract that one point as supplementary explanation.)
