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

Chapter 125 Fang Si's Exposure (Three more chapters to come, please follow and vote!)

However, he did not expect that even the Chen family's first-level territory, which was established three months earlier than his own, would be gone.

"Now, the place I chose has suddenly become empty."

Sui An was somewhat amused and exasperated: "I used to complain that the surrounding territories were being divided up too drastically, but now that it's suddenly just me and my arch-rival, I'm really not used to it."

"Am I the Grim Reaper? In just over two months, four of my territories have been destroyed."

"Don't overthink it. Just enjoy the show. Who knows, maybe a new awakened lord will come to your area from Jiangcheng later."

Wang Zhen lowered his arm from the flagpole, straightened up, patted Sui An, and advised, "You should focus on accumulating capital and advancing to the next level as soon as possible. These things will only truly come in handy when you reach the intermediate level."

"Let's go!"

Wang Zhen turned around and, with Erhu, Fang Si, and Wang Hu, drove four vehicles loaded with goods towards Jiangcheng.

Fang Nian returned to the alchemy workshop, since she had obtained another cellar full of source beast meat, which would keep her busy for ten days or so even if she worked overtime to process it.

The first and second-level source beast meat in this cellar, after being refined, can be sold for about two thousand source stones. Her salary of about 120 source stones, after deducting stage expenses, is about 90 source stones.

Her daily income is already more than half of her brother's!

This is the income difference caused by the difference in professions; after all, there are far more combat professionals than alchemists.

Sui An, on the other hand, reorganized his assets, and his inventory of Originium had now reached 15602.

There seem to be a lot of Originium here, but once he reaches level four, he will not be able to trigger rifts as frequently as he does at level three for a long time.

The capacity of a level 4 territory is far greater than it is now. It is highly unlikely that a few level 4 professionals will be able to trigger the rift. He needs to start recruiting people.

Therefore, accumulating Originium is still very necessary, not to mention that after reaching level four, there will be a major expansion, and there are too many places where money will be needed.

Even though his soul essence has reached the required level, Sui An is not planning to advance.

However, seeing so many source stones now, Sui An still couldn't resist.

My Witch Vision is missing one blueprint to unlock the third Inspiration effect, which requires 900 Star Power.

Of the three existing purple buildings, one of them is missing a purple core material to upgrade to level 4.

In total, it requires 2250 Star Power.

Blue materials are still useful for now, so the only way to get Starshine is to exchange them for duplicate blue blueprints.

One duplicate blue blueprint can be exchanged for 54 Starshine, so you need 42 of them. Under the full pity system, you would need to do about 3780 pulls, costing 11340 Originium.

In fact, the blueprints and materials for the golden building [Goddess Spirit Summoning Statue] have already been added to the [Exchange] section after the blueprint library expired.

In the module.

However, the exchange prices are really outrageous. The exchange price for the blueprint is as high as 7200 Starshine, and the exchange price for the two core materials is exactly the same as the merit points required back then.

To fully unlock its potential, too many Originiums would be needed, so Sui An chose to put it aside.

However, it's not very meaningful to build several more of this building in a short period of time. Overall, the cost-effectiveness is too low. It would be better to use that money to summon more talismans in normal times.

"Then let's extract the purple materials first, and while we're at it, add some elemental statues to expand our military strength."

"It's too wasteful to have too many Originium. Use them now, and save up the ones you need for level four later!"

Let's draw!

[Basic Source Material *3006]

【蓄雷石*24】【松晶石*27】【常燃火种*29】【岩狮之心*28】【纯水灵核*26】

【Starlight*2268】

In the end, Sui An only used 9540 Originium to draw 3180 times and completed the Starshine goal. After exchanging for three sets of purple materials, Sui An realized that he had 81 points left before, and a total of 99 points were left.

When the quantity reached a certain level, Sui An found that he basically no longer had a guaranteed minimum. Both the materials and blueprints were much more plentiful than before.

However, apart from the elemental statues, he doesn't plan to use the other materials directly in the short term; he'll keep them as inventory for now.

The existing stage and flags are sufficient, not to mention the kitchen and alchemy workshop; there aren't enough people to use them, so building them would be a waste.

By spending all the lightning-accumulating stones, Sui An's number of level 3 elemental statues increased by 8, bringing the total to 14.

With such firepower coverage, the Sword Star Totem is basically unnecessary for dealing with ordinary rifts. Even if a regular level 4 source beast appears, you can simply mobilize five or six elemental statues to charge up an attack and kill it in one round.

"Now that's more like real territorial firepower!"

The Astrologer's Illusion Altar has also unlocked its final Enlightenment effect.

【Starry Sky: Activate Starry Sky mode upon summoning. Illusions will no longer lure targets within range to attack and will dissipate under your control. A special status, Starry Sky, will be applied to all targets within a certain range. Targets with this status are more likely to enter hallucinations. This status lasts for 15 seconds. After the status ends, targets will be more likely to regain consciousness. The altar cooldown remains unchanged.】

Sui An stared blankly at the effect, not expecting that the last illusion effect would be a debuff, which seemed to perfectly solve his gap in high-level targets.

In exchange for putting two illusion altars on cooldown, the target may enter an illusion for 15 seconds.

"This feature is quite interesting."

On Line 7, Wang Zhen and his group had just left Sui An's territory.

At the northeast stone bridge, a small transport vehicle drove up from the north, carrying five professionals. The vehicle was also marked with the character "He".

The driver suddenly shouted, "Yu Wei, that car up ahead looks familiar!"

Hearing someone call his name, Yu Wei rolled over from the truck bed and stood up. He looked up and saw that it was a bit far away and he couldn't see clearly.

But from a distance, you could see a flag of Ping An Trading Company flying on the lead vehicle of the convoy.

"What's so familiar about this? Isn't this a transport truck?"

"No, I meant the small gray transport vehicle following at the very back!"

The driver explained loudly, "That vehicle clearly doesn't belong to the transport fleet. It looks familiar, but I just can't place it."

"Really? Let me take another look."

Yu Wei also felt something was familiar. He took out a pair of binoculars from his pocket and looked at the convoy ahead again. This time, he noticed something unusual.

"Does this look like Captain Fang Si's car?"

"That's right, he was the driver too!"

Upon hearing Fang Si's name, the professionals in the car immediately sat up and began to investigate.

"Really? Didn't Captain Fang Si say he had already resigned?"

"So you resigned? Then why are you still calling me Captain Fang Si!"

"Hey, it's just a habit I've developed."

"

'

Yu Wei suddenly frowned. He turned his head to look at the territory he had just passed on his right and immediately noticed something was wrong. He quickly asked.

"Old Wang, when did you first see Fang Si's car?"

"Just now," driver Lao Wang pointed to the right rear, "It looks like they left from this territory just to the right. Could it be that they joined the Ping An Trading Company's transport fleet?"

Inside the truck bed, an older professional disagreed: "I don't think so. I remember the transport team only needs medium-sized trucks at the very least."

"From what I know, they mostly want mid-size cars!" someone chimed in.

Yu Wei's doubts deepened. He picked up his binoculars again and looked ahead. There were four cars in total, two medium and two small, in various colors.

He thought for a moment and asked the person next to him, "Could this be the car registered under the squad leader's name?"

The older professional nodded: "That's possible, but it's definitely not a formal position."

"As expected of Captain Fang Si, he found a new job so quickly. But why did the captain quit such a good job? I remember the captain's basic monthly salary was 500 Originium, which is easier than driving a sports car, isn't it?"

Upon hearing the older professional's question, the thin professional standing next to him quickly chimed in, "I do know a bit of gossip!"

'

"What gossip?" Everyone immediately turned their attention to him.

The man quickly replied, "I heard it's because he had a fight with Young Master He and then resigned."

Why were you arguing?

"I don't know."

"You call this gossip?"

The crowd grumbled and cursed, everyone knew that Fang Si had resigned voluntarily, and it was better not to listen to this gossip.

Yu Wei remained silent. He did know a little bit of the inside story, but he didn't intend to reveal it. He needed to verify it further to confirm whether it matched his expectations.

The territory they just left was one that He Shao had ordered people to investigate several times. Given his temperament, he obviously wouldn't consider that territory a friend.

How did Fang Si come out of this territory? Isn't this, in a way, an act of betrayal?

Is it because of that hot news a while ago?

Yu Wei suddenly remembered that about a month ago, a bounty was suddenly placed on the black market for the lord's head in this territory. However, that very night, the territory revealed its extremely strong strength and directly wiped out a level 4 hunting party. This strength was even greater than that of Young Master He's territory.

So, Fang Si has gone to join this side?

But if you, Fang Si, have such connections, why didn't you take me with you!

Yu Wei felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it. Looking at the cart piled high with source beast meat, it was clear that this territory had yielded a considerable harvest. After all, he must have been the one to trigger the rift last night, and this territory had triggered far too many rifts in the past month or two.

Such strength is even inferior to He Chong's. He Chong opened the rift twice and was almost wiped out both times, while this family simply uses the rift as a resource point. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

"They really don't consider us friends!"

As night deepened, a figure appeared in the No. 54 residential building.

"Thump. Thump. Thump."

"Who is it?" Fang Si's voice came from inside the house.

Outside, Yu Wei said softly, "Brother Fang, it's me, Yu Wei."

Fang Si frowned. How did this kid find his home? He had been away from He Chong's territory for more than a month. Why did he come looking for him today?

But after thinking for a moment, he opened the door and stood there, not letting him in: "What do you want with me?"

Yu Wei was taken aback for a moment, but still managed a smile: "Brother Fang, it's only been a short time since we last met, why are you being so formal?"

Fang thought for a moment and realized that he had been a bit too cold, so he opened the door and let Yu Wei in.

Inside the house, Fang Si's father glanced around curiously and recognized the man who had returned with his son before, so he greeted him.

"Oh, it's Wei! Why are you here so late?"

With a smile on his face, Yu Wei quickly replied politely, "Uncle, I have some private business to discuss with Brother Fang."

"Okay, then you two chat." Mr. Fang nodded and pulled Mrs. Fang back into the room.

In the small living room, only Fang Si and Yu Wei remained.

Yu Wei didn't stand on ceremony. He found a chair and sat down, trying to close the distance. He took the initiative to ask, "Brother Fang, how have you been lately?"

Fang Si frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

He walked to the living room side, poured a cup of tea from the cabinet, and handed it to me: "It's alright, what brings you here today?"

Yu Wei took the tea, his head bowed, his eyes gleaming slightly. After taking a sip, he spoke.

"Hi, I just wanted to ask Brother Fang if he knows any good ways to help me out."

"After you left, He Chong got new guards. You know He Chong's temperament; he's unpredictable and difficult to deal with. I still want to follow Brother Fang."

Hearing Yu Wei complaining about He Chong, Fang Si suddenly felt relieved; so that's what it was about.

He Chong's unpredictable temper was known throughout the territory, but he rarely communicated with his subordinates. In the past, he always communicated through himself, and now that he had changed guards, he must be communicating through that person as well.

Logically speaking, Yu Wei should not have been able to directly contact He Chong.

But Fang Si didn't really want to get involved in He Chong's affairs anymore. He could only shake his head and say, "Right now, I'm just driving a car behind someone else. It's a temporary job, and I'm still working for someone else. I can't take you with me."

Fang Si did not mention that she was in Sui An's territory. After all, the two families were enemies, and it would be bad if she revealed it rashly and caused misunderstandings.

"I see." Hearing Fang Si say that he was driving a sports car, Yu Wei thought about what happened during the day and suddenly felt that it made sense.

"That's a real shame. If Brother Fang ever settles down, please don't abandon me."

"There might be a chance," Fang Si replied casually. Although the two had some acquaintance, it was only because they met in He Chong's territory, and it wasn't as deep as he had imagined.

Seeing that Fang Si was being somewhat perfunctory, Yu Wei didn't dare to make a scene. The two chatted idly in the room for a while before Yu Wei took his leave.

Fang Si watched Yu Wei gradually disappear into the darkness, sighed, closed the door, and went back to rest.

The next morning, Erhu pulled Wang Hu to meet Fang Si at a steamed bun shop. After breakfast, the three of them drove from Jiangcheng.

This time they didn't rush to join Wang Zhen's transport team, because Wang Zhen would have to travel around with the caravan and stop frequently, so it wouldn't be that fast. Anyway, they didn't have any goods on their vehicle, and the two level-four professionals had some security on Line 7.

After driving for two hours, the car returned to Sui An's territory.

Wang Hu looked back with some confusion. Behind him were a few scattered transport vehicles, mostly hunting groups that had set off from Jiangcheng.

"What's wrong?" Erhu asked curiously as he unloaded his belongings from the car.

Wang Hu looked around for a while, but didn't find anything, so he shook his head: "Nothing, I just feel like someone is watching us."

Erhu looked for a while but didn't find anything special: "Hey, it's probably the car behind us."

"Probably."
