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

After storing all the Originium in the territory core, Sui An first spent 1 portion of limestone core, 10 portions of basic materials, and 2 Originium to rebuild the wall.

A 3-meter-long wall is counted as a unit, so it will dissipate as energy only when it completely collapses.

As for ordinary damage, such as damage to the wall or a wooden wall damaged by a fireball, it was repaired with only three sets of basic materials, without even needing the core materials.

Finally, I spent another 48 Originium to restore the energy of the territory's core to 90%, and then moved the buildings back to their previous locations.

Sui An finally finished repairing his territory.

"I should probably take stock of my accounts now."

Sitting on a small stool in front of the core of his territory, Sui An began to check his inventory.

He currently has 847 level 1 Originium, 13 level 2 Originium, 20 portions of basic materials, and 1 portion of limestone core.

This is all his assets.

"I never imagined that in just eight days, my assets would exceed one thousand..."

"No wonder Zhen-ge was looking at me strangely; he probably couldn't resist robbing me!"

"Ha~ha~ha~"

Sui An recalled Wang Zhen's expressions these past few times, and it was clear that he was about to lose control. In the past, he had always been the image of an older brother, steady and composed, with a perfect image. He would never swear in front of someone like him, a younger brother from next door.

"I've already done 30 pulls in the beginner pool. I should be able to get two more blue blueprints in 150 pulls at most."

"No, it might be a duplicate. Unlocking three blueprints still requires two big pity pulls, which means another 990 Originium."

"I never imagined that even with all this money, I might still not have enough..."

"No, no, why should I be sure I'm guaranteed to win everything!"

Sui An shook his head violently. It was really unlucky to be thinking about the guaranteed prize before even participating in the lottery.

"This time I'll have plenty of stones; it won't be like last time, where I suffered a terrible fate!"

Sui An was furious at the thought of how shameless he had been last time in trying to please the cheat code in order to draw cards. This time, he was determined to avenge himself!

Let's draw!

[Basic Source Material *10]

[Basic Source Material *10]

[Basic Source Material *9 + Thunderstone *1]

"Great, another thunderstone!"

Sui An excitedly pumped his fist. Although the first thirty draws were still a small guarantee, he was still very happy to have gotten a Thunder Stone. He could have as many of these things as he wanted.

If we don't have enough core energy, we'll just smash rocks!

They just have too much money!

[Basic Source Material *10]

[Basic Source Material *10]

Sui An smiled helplessly: "As expected, we have to start with the basics first. As for getting the blue blueprint ahead of time, that's something you can just dream about."

I clicked the ten-pull button again, and unsurprisingly, two blue lights appeared on the screen this time. The one in front was relatively dark, while the one behind was extremely dark, as if to distinguish between the big prize and the small prize!

As the card flipped, the familiar blueprint appeared before his eyes.

[Basic Source Material *8]

【Heart of the Rock Lion*1】

The Statue of Oz

"..."

Sui An fell silent. Although he had guessed that he would receive the large guaranteed payout, why did the small guaranteed payout have to be repeated for him? Wouldn't it have been better to give him a different one?

"Forget it, taking the guaranteed minimum is standard practice, there's nothing to worry about. As long as you have money, nothing is a problem!"

"But what's the point of having duplicate blueprints?"

Sui An was a little curious, so he quickly opened his building library. He had unlocked the blueprints directly the previous time.

Sure enough, after drawing a duplicate blueprint, the model of my [Lightning Statue of Oz] blueprint changed.

At this moment, the architectural model was flashing slightly, as if telling Sui An that something had changed. Sui An subconsciously clicked on it, and a pop-up window appeared.

[This blueprint has been unlocked; any duplicate blueprints extracted will be automatically converted into the core insights of this blueprint.]

[Consume Oz's Lightning Statue (Inspiration Core) to upgrade this blueprint?]

"Can the blueprints provided by the system be further enhanced?"

Sui An was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. Such a powerful building could be upgraded? Could it be upgraded directly to purple?

Reach out and click on "Yes," and the appearance of "Oz's Lightning Statue" in the building library suddenly started flashing, as if someone had been frequently pressing the refresh button, but it quickly returned to normal.

Judging from the shape of the drawings, there seems to be no change.

After opening the drawing, the text descriptions were no different, and the required materials were the same as before. However, at the bottom of the drawing, there was suddenly an additional line of instructions.

[Inspiration (1/3)]

【Charged Burst: You can actively control the statue to charge up energy. The longer the charge time, the stronger the damage of the Thunder Magic Bullet and the larger the explosion radius. You can charge up to 10 seconds to gain an additional 2x damage increase and 2x explosion radius increase. After each charge, there is an additional cooldown period equal to the charge time.】

[Old buildings constructed without the Inspiration blueprints require additional basic materials for modification before they can gain the Inspiration effect.]

"Wow, this works pretty well!"

Sui An looked at the text and quickly understood its literal meaning.

A normal Thunder Magic Bullet has a cooldown of about 3 to 4 seconds. It takes 10 seconds to charge and another 10 seconds to cool down. In short, it's like combining 5 ordinary Thunder Bullets to create a super Thunder Bullet with 3 times the damage and 3 times the explosion radius.

Judging from the numbers alone, the effect is mediocre.

However, reality is not simply a matter of expectation calculation.

Take the Dark Breath Silver Scale Beast from the day before yesterday, for example. Five ordinary lightning bolts couldn't even break its scales.

That's because every material has a defense threshold. Attacks that don't reach this threshold will only cause very little damage each time, and can only be destroyed by accumulating damage.

However, once the threshold is reached, the effect of the attack is like that of an underage source beast being blasted to pieces by a thunder magic bullet.

Considering its own level 1 blue elemental statue attributes, this super magic bullet effect might be a bit exaggerated; it could potentially kill an ordinary level 2 source beast in one hit.

Sui An couldn't wait to see the effect. He clicked on the building blueprint and, sure enough, in addition to the [Build] button, there was an additional [Enlighten Transformation] option.

As he clicked in, two elemental statue projections appeared before his eyes, the two he had already built.

[This building's renovation requires 10 Basic Source Materials]

Whether to renovate

【Yes】

After upgrading both elemental statues, Sui An rushed to the courtyard and looked at the elemental statue in front of him. Indeed, there was no significant change in its appearance.

The only change is that there seem to be a few more lightning bolts on the stone pillar, but I don't usually pay attention to these things, I just have a vague feeling about them.

Sui An directly activated the territory projection, randomly selected a location to connect with his mind, and as the command in his mind was issued, the night raven above the elemental statue in the west began to make a hissing sound.

As the energy storage time gradually increased, the night raven became brighter, and its original stone appearance became increasingly energetic.

When it was almost 10 seconds, the night raven seemed to transform into a thunder raven, ready to take flight.

Knowing that the energy storage time had reached its limit, Sui An controlled the direction and launched it towards the yellow earth outside the courtyard.

But this time, instead of the spherical Thunder Magic Bullet, a Thunder Night Raven, identical to the stone sculpture, was launched, flashing through the air at a speed even faster than the magic bullet.

As the night raven crashed into the ground, a roar far louder than the explosion of the magic bullet resounded across the earth, like a small thunderclap in a clear sky.

The hard, yellow earth surface suddenly cracked open, and smoke and dust rose everywhere. The boiling smoke and dust enveloped the destroyed area for a while before slowly dissipating, revealing a pit about five feet in size.

Dust swirled around, and there wasn't much soil to be seen, as if it had all been buried.

Sui An looked at the extent of the damage at the scene, then glanced at the spot next to him, where the marks of his uncharged attack were visible.

Sui An frowned. Judging from the direct damage caused by the two, the direct harm to himself was not proportional, but the range could not be said to have increased to 3 times.

This doesn't match the description.

After thinking for a moment, Sui An suddenly remembered something: could the increase in the explosion range be calculated as three times the volume of the explosion?

When the volume of the sphere is doubled, the radius will increase by about 44%. Although there is some error, this is not an empty sphere, and the resistance of the ground must be taken into account.

The explosive effect of the Thunder Demon Bullet seems to be somewhat different from the gunpowder explosion in my previous life.

The blast radius caused by a gunpowder explosion can be very large and somewhat irregular if there is no obstruction.

However, the attack of this elemental magic bullet is different. Its explosion range seems to be a fixed sphere. Although it is reduced in some directions by obstacles, it does not provide any additional boost in the air.

"There's no need to delve into it further; the effect is indeed much more powerful."

"Most importantly, this thing can be considered a small area-of-effect skill in a certain sense."

"And this thing can actually be upgraded twice more! I suddenly regret not giving my wish to the statue..."

Sui An clapped his hands, feeling quite pleased. He had already made a great deal by spending 270 source stones to get two lightning stones and an upgrade effect.
