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

Chapter 126 He Chong Goes Completely Crazy

"Bang!"

"What? You saw Fang Si join that orphan's territory?"

He Chong's eyes widened, his face flushed red, and he could hardly believe what he was hearing.

"Yu Wei, are you sure you saw it?"

"Young Master He, I really saw it!" Yu Wei said firmly, pointing to the people standing outside.

"Besides me, these brothers also saw it yesterday. Fang Si drove out of Sui An's territory. We followed him on our way back this morning and saw him go in with our own eyes."

"Ha~ha~ha~" He Chong suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard he bent over backwards, until he clutched his stomach and squatted down.

"What righteous words he spoke! I thought he, surnamed Fang, really had some sense of justice, and I actually thought highly of him. I didn't expect that he had already set his sights on the boss and didn't want to make a move against him."

"This is fucking interesting~"

"Ha~ha~ha~"

He Chong laughed until he was exhausted, then slowly stopped laughing. Suddenly, he looked up at Yu Wei and asked softly.

"I remember you went to Fang Si's house and know his family?"

Yu Wei nodded: "I do know."

He Chong stood up, smiling, and said, "Then I'll give you two hundred source stones. I don't care if you kidnap or trick me; you just need to find a way to bring Fang Si's family into this territory. Can you do that?"

Yu Wei's expression changed immediately, and he hesitated.

Although Fang Si left alone, causing He Shao to hold a grudge against them all, and he did want to get revenge on Fang Si, he didn't want to involve his family—

"300!" He Chong still had a big smile on his face.

"Young Master He, that's the territory of a great lord, with patrols day and night—"

"500!"

"Alright!" Yu Wei clasped his hands in a fist salute, his face serious. "I will definitely bring it back to you by the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

But He Chong held up his finger: "600, I want to see his family tomorrow!"

"These densely packed elemental statues really make me feel safe!"

As soon as Erhu returned, he discovered that Sui An's territory had undergone new changes. Erhu was unaware of the other buildings, but he now felt...

Sui An suspected that obtaining the material for this elemental stone statue required some special channel, the kind that money could buy.

But before Sui An could exchange a single word with him, Erhu suddenly pulled Sui An into his room and said in a serious tone.

"Sui An, I have a question for you!"

The fact that Erhu was asking such a serious question for the first time made Sui An feel that something was amiss.

"What's wrong?"

Erhu paused for a moment: "I heard from Wang Hu that your stage brought Fang Si back to life when he was on the verge of death?"

"Yes~"

Erhu hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "Then, can the broken leg be restored?"

Upon hearing Erhu's words, Sui An finally understood why Erhu had come to see him. He scratched his head, pondered for a moment, and tried to organize his thoughts.

"I haven't tried it, but it's unlikely to work. If it were a broken leg back then, the broken leg might be able to be reattached, but given your dad's situation, it's been so many years—"

Erhu's father became disabled when he was a child, losing half of his leg in a battle with a source beast. Although he survived, he is now disabled, even though he is a combat professional, due to difficulty walking.

There might be a potion that can regenerate severed limbs, but it would definitely not have the effect of a mid- to low-level energy potion.

As for Sui An's stage healing effect, it works by providing a large amount of vitality to activate the injured person's recovery ability, which in other words greatly accelerates their own recovery.

But can a person grow a new leg?

Obviously not, so it's very difficult for this thing to regenerate severed limbs. Perhaps, as Sui An himself imagined, a limb that has just been severed might be able to be reattached, but forget about it growing back.

"Really?" Erhu said with some disappointment.

Sui An reached out and patted Erhu's shoulder, gently comforting him.

"Don't worry, the low-level buildings aren't enough now, but there might be mid-level and high-level buildings later!"

"Yes, you're right!" Erhu breathed a sigh of relief and regained his usual smile.

"There's something else. Once you pass the CET-4, let my brother, sister-in-law, and dad come to your place. They can help out with things like carrying things. There are fewer and fewer things ordinary people in Jiangcheng can do these days. Although I help my brother and sister-in-law, it's not a long-term solution."

Sui An stroked his chin and frowned: "It should be fine for me to come over now. Three ordinary people shouldn't have much of an impact on me."

"No rush, it's best to wait until you pass the CET-4 exam, then things will be more stable."

"Okay, just let me know if you're sure, and I'll prepare some rooms in advance."

The territory returned to normal, and Sui An took the opportunity to remeasure the surrounding area.

Since his last trip to the secret realm, Sui An has discovered that the actual distance between the secret realm's dimensional gate and his territory might be less than 200.

Mi Yuan, he measured it today while playing the erhu, and it was indeed only about 180 meters away, at a depth of 5 meters below the ground.

Strangely, the dimensional portal to the secret realm did not react at all on the terrain projection of the detection station.

This was something Sui An hadn't noticed before; perhaps the detection station couldn't detect the existence of the dimensional gate.

This distance means that when Sui An upgrades to level 4, he can adjust the location of the core of his territory once by taking advantage of the major stage advancement, and completely incorporate the secret realm into his territory.

Once something is brought into one's territory, the probability of it being discovered by outsiders is greatly reduced.

Erhu, wielding a hoe, asked curiously, "Isn't it a bit too early to start leveling the terrain now?"

Sui An straightened his back, took a breath, and replied with a smile, "Although this area is generally flat, it still has some undulations and slopes. Anyway, we're fine now, so isn't it good that we've done the preparatory work in advance?"

"Why isn't Hu Zi here?" Erhu rolled his eyes.

"Tiger told me that his soul essence seems to be almost up to standard, but his physical strength is still lacking, so I told him to train harder."

"Really?" Erhu looked at the distant wall in surprise, trying to see what was inside by looking over the wall.

"Even if there's a stage that allows for unlimited energy replenishment, isn't this a bit too fast? He's only been promoted for a little over a month, hasn't he?"

"You don't know, Aunt Zhao has brought out all the savings she and Uncle Wang have, and bought him a lot of medicine, even low-level mental recovery medicine, just to speed up Tiger's training."

Sui An sighed, "Uncle Wang has been making steamed buns for so many years, he must have some savings."

"Why didn't I awaken a crafting profession?" Erhu wailed, swinging the hoe in his hand even harder.

"Back then, it took Wang Zhen and me more than two years to break through to level three, and then we risked our lives outside for another two years before we finally broke through to level four."

"It has to be because he has a powerful family background and someone like you who opens rifts all the time, providing him with so much soul essence. Back then, we had to team up and take it slow to kill a level 3 source beast, afraid of encountering a stronger source beast and being wiped out in one fell swoop. How could he have it so easy?"

"Only someone at the low level can break through this quickly. Breaking through to the intermediate level still takes a long time." Lian Fang Siye sighed from the side. In fact, he broke through later than Erhu and Wang Zhen.

"Once you reach the intermediate level, you'll often have to calculate it in terms of several years."

"By the way, how's your sister's progress?"

When Wang Hu's progress was mentioned, Sui An subconsciously thought of Fang Nian. She had provided so many materials, the stage's restoration energy, and the alchemy workshop's enhancements.

"She's only broken through a barrier less than a month ago; it's still too early to say for sure."

Fang Si, leaning on her shovel, replied with a smile, "But she said that at the current pace, she can probably advance to level two in three or four months. That workshop sometimes gives her sudden inspiration, like the epiphanies in those martial arts novels from the old world, which greatly improves her skills."

Sui An was pleasantly surprised. Fang Si had mentioned that his friend had only reached level two after seven months, which had left him feeling a bit disheartened.

At this rate, by the time I reach intermediate level, she'll still be at level one.

"That's not bad. Processing source beast meat at level one is still too slow. I gave all this meat to Brother Zhen. A 30% cut is still too much."

"It would be difficult for an alchemist to consume such a harvest as yours." Erhu chimed in from the side, feeling that Sui An was a bit inhuman, actually trying to make a level one alchemist consume the source beast output of a level three territory.

"If you don't experience frequent cracking, you can manage it, but don't you have any idea what your situation is like?"

"Hehe~" Sui An scratched his head.

Suddenly, everyone turned their gaze to the east, where Line 7 was located, and someone was driving by.

"Who is it? Didn't Wang Zhen already leave?"

"I don't know him," Erhu shook his head.

Fang Si suddenly fell silent; he recognized the person who had come.

The car stopped not far away, and two people jumped out. Fang Si didn't recognize one of them, and the other was his former subordinate.

"Fang Si!"

The shouts came from over there. Fang Si said softly, "A friend of mine from before somehow found his way here. I'll go check on him."

"Okay~" Sui An stopped digging and walked back to his territory with Erhu, carrying hoes. It would be safer to go back to his territory if strangers came.

Fang Si walked all the way to the vicinity of the transport vehicle, frowned and looked at the middle-aged man next to Yu Wei. From his senses, this man was a level four professional.

He stopped about five meters from the transport vehicle, looked at Yu Wei, and asked softly, "How did you find this place?"

Yu Wei smiled broadly: "Brother Fang, you came here secretly without telling us?"

Fang Si had no intention of making small talk: "Just get to the point. You went out of your way to come here, so I don't think you just wanted to chat with me."

"Brother Fang is as indifferent as ever." Yu Wei's smile faded, and he let out a long sigh.

"Since that's the case, then I'll be frank. Young Master He knows you're here, and he wants me to show you something."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Wei pulled a pocket watch from his pocket and tossed it over.

Fang Si's expression changed drastically. He reached out and took it, glanced at it, and then his anger erupted.

His body surged with energy, and he lunged forward, but the middle-aged man beside him suddenly stepped aside and blocked Fang Si's path.

Although his body was blocked, Fang Si's eyes seemed to devour people, and he gritted his teeth.

"Yu Wei, what have you done!"

"Brother Fang, you'd better listen to us carefully, or you won't want to see the consequences!"

Yu Wei smiled coldly, seemingly unconcerned about Fang Si's murderous gaze.

Fang Si was forced to withdraw her energy source and slowly retreated, her voice icy: "Why did you kidnap my parents?"

Yu Wei laughed and said, "Naturally, it's because you betrayed Young Master He and even went to his opponent's territory. You're not still pretending to be stupid, are you?"

""

Fang Si suppressed her anger and coldly replied, "He Chong and I are merely employees; what betrayal is there to speak of!"

Yu Wei laughed; in his eyes, Fang Si was incredibly stupid.

"Normally, you could work anywhere, but you insisted on coming to this place. This makes Young Master He think a lot. You know Young Master He's personality, so he asked me to give you one more thing."

He took out a delicate little crystal bottle from his pocket. The bottle contained a milky white liquid. Yu Wei held the bottle neck with both hands and gently shook it.

"This is a poison. Young Master He specially prepared it for you. He knows that the lord's buildings in this territory are powerful. Even a group of level four or five professionals might not be able to break through them by force. They must also have protective measures. Even you would have a hard time successfully launching a sneak attack."

"But lords are just professionals who are slightly stronger than ordinary people. If you put this poison into their food, even just one drop will kill them. It shouldn't be difficult for you to poison them."

Fang Si's pupils contracted slightly. She hadn't expected He Chong to be so determined to kill Sui An, still so preoccupied with it even after so many days.

"Why would I kill him? If I kill him, why would He Chong spare my parents?"

"certainly!"

Do you think I'd believe that?

"You can choose not to believe, as long as you can bear the consequences!"

"Yu Wei!" Fang Si suddenly called his name softly, her voice gentle yet chilling.

"Even if He Chong can stay in the territory indefinitely, can you? Can his subordinates?"

"Threatening me?" Yu Wei laughed, a laugh bordering on arrogance. "I'm an orphan, about to break through to level four. Do you think I'd be afraid of you?"

Fang Si gave Yu Wei a deep look, then refrained from further threats: "I need to see my parents first, or it'll be a fight to the death. The man beside you can't stop me!"

"Can!"

This time, it wasn't Yu Wei who spoke, but rather the middle-aged man beside him who suddenly spoke.

"You can come with us now, and we'll bring you back later!"

"Okay, I'll go back and get something!"

Fang Si turned around and walked back, and saw several people standing on the watchtower in the distance.

He felt a little heavy-hearted. He never expected that just because he was being considerate of his parents, someone would dare to kidnap them from the territory of the Great City Lord.

It's unlikely that they were forcibly abducted. It's probably because Yu Wei knew them and their parents had met him, so he found a reason to deceive their parents and bring them out.

"Are you alright? I think you were about to start a fight!" Sui An asked curiously as he looked at Fang Si, who had returned to his territory.

Fang Si shook her head: "Boss, I need to go out for a bit. I'll come back later and explain in detail."

After saying that, he took the weapon from the room and went out.

"Brother!" Fang Nian seemed to have heard the commotion and rushed over from the backyard.

Fang Si didn't stop, she just looked back once.

"I'm fine, I just went out for a bit, don't worry, I'll be back!"
