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

Sui An ultimately couldn't escape a good beating.

Although it was clearly him who was in danger, in Zhao Feng's eyes, this was the consequence of Sui An's disobedience and insistence on running out to reclaim wasteland.

Wang Zhen took leave from the team today and asked Erhu and Aunt Zhao to come over, just to find out what the situation was at that location.

Perhaps there's nothing there, so he can't easily ask anyone else for this kind of thing. Only Erhu and Aunt Zhao, who care about Sui An, are the most suitable.

Wang Zhen was very cautious; he didn't even bring the five of them, including Baldy.

In my own area, everyone else is just an ordinary person; these are the only ones who have awakened and have combat power.

Moreover, he also successfully broke through to level 4 in erhu, only half a year later than me, which can be considered fast.

"Do you want to come and take a look?" Wang Zhen placed a large bag containing 120 sets of basic materials at the door of the wooden house, and also handed over a small bag containing 30 source stones.

Sui An shook his head and took the materials back: "I'm not going. I can't fight anyway, and I'd just be a hindrance if I went."

"Be careful if you go. There might be a bigger cave downstream, otherwise that big guy wouldn't be able to get out."

"Alright~" Wang Zhen nodded, "Then you stay home and watch over the car for me, make sure no one drives it away~"

"Little Tiger, you stay here too. The three of us will go check out what's going on!"

Zhao Feng patted Wang Hu on the shoulder, but Wang Hu didn't mind. He hadn't seen Sui An in a long time and could spend some time chatting with him.

"Okay, Mom, be careful."

The three men, carrying weapons and wearing leather armor, quickly walked towards the northwest riverbank, which was only about two hundred meters away, so there was no need to drive there.

Meanwhile, Sui An began to study how to build his own large wall.

The foundation of the [Grey Steel Rock Structure Wall] is a tall wall measuring 3*3*1 meters.

However, once the 3-meter-high wall is built, Sui An will encounter two problems.

First, none of his current methods can reach the bottom of the outer wall. Even if he raises the elemental statues inside, there are still blind spots.

There is actually a risky way: embedding the elemental statues into the wall.

However, the elemental statue is too tall, it is 3.5 meters tall. We can't leave the elemental statue exposed outside the protective shield, as its defensive capabilities are far inferior to those of a wall.

Another method is to lower the height of the elemental statues by digging into the ground and then embed them in the wall, but this would give up the attack range in the air.

Second, should the existing gravel wall be demolished?

Builders can dismantle buildings, but the Originium and basic materials consumed during construction will not be returned; only the core materials will be returned.

It's a loss in a sense, but most buildings take shape once they're made, even structural walls that can be shaped by hand.

However, Sui An still decided to take it back, mainly for two reasons: one was that the territory itself was very small.

The second point is to consider raising the elemental statues to reduce the space in the dead corners of the outer wall as much as possible, while the energy shield cannot be reduced further, because the smaller it is, the less height it will have.

Finally, after many attempts in front of the core of the territory, Sui An finally determined the general shape of the wall.

The overall height is 3 meters, the base is about 1.35 meters, the top is about 0.65 meters, the inner side is vertical, the outer side is sloping, and the outer radius of the base is 10 meters.

The reason for leaving such a thick bottom is to reduce the blind spots at the bottom and increase the bottom's load-bearing capacity.

The wall is not an energy shield, so it is not afraid of large-scale attacks from others.

If even such a thick wall can be easily broken, then one's own energy shield will basically not be able to withstand it, and one will still die.

The three elemental statues are supported by a 1.3-meter-high base constructed from three structures, raising the statues so that they are as close to the wall as possible while being slightly lower than the height of the protective shield.

Finally, we started filling in the materials one by one. We used 19 sets for the walls, plus 3 sets for the stone statues, so a total of 22 sets were enough.

Fortunately, the three core materials I bought in small quantities before, plus the 21 core materials delivered today, were enough, and even my basic material inventory was completely depleted.

Wang Hu stared wide-eyed as he swayed on a small stool in the courtyard, watching with great curiosity as the sand and stone wall turned into light and dissipated.

Then, one after another, 3-meter-high, thick gray walls began to solidify from the ground, rising up gradually as if in 3D printing.

Unlike the rough surface of the sand and gravel wall, the surface of the gray steel rock wall is extremely fine and smooth, and the rock texture is also smooth and straight. Just in terms of appearance, it has already surpassed the sand and gravel wall by a lot.

At the bottom 70 centimeters of the wall, Sui An left a cylindrical hole with a diameter of 5 centimeters every meter, which was a reserved hole for observation and attack in case of special circumstances.

Each section of the wall has interlocking grooves that connect end to end, increasing the structural strength.

This size allows it to be used as a spear or to fire crossbow bolts. Due to the presence of an energy shield, even snake-like source beasts cannot enter.

Another issue is leaving space for a courtyard gate. This is because it's a wall structure, not a complete perimeter wall.

Therefore, it doesn't come with a door. Even if you make a door shape out of the wall, you still can't move it...

The components inside the gravel wall, besides some wall piers, do indeed include door components. Although they are just wooden gates, most of them have some defensive capabilities.

Therefore, Sui An could only leave a 2-meter-high doorway and barely fit the original courtyard gate into it.

Anyway, I still have an energy shield, so I don't rely entirely on the wall.

As the new wall was completely solidified, Sui An took out the large green sword he had used before and threw it at Wang Hu.

"Tiger, help me cut a few times and see what happens!"

"Okay."

After Wang Hu took the knife, he stepped forward and slashed straight down with it.

"Clang~"

Sparks flew from the blade, while there was only a shallow mark on the wall, barely more than a white scratch.

After roughly confirming the strength, Wang Hu raised his long sword again and let out a low roar. His muscles tensed up, and his slightly loose clothes and pants instantly became tight.

With immense force, the longsword slashed down fiercely, sending sparks flying and the sound of metal cutting through rock was deafening, forcing Sui An to instinctively cover his ears.

"Phew~"

Wang Hu breathed a slight sigh of relief. His muscles returned to normal, and the long sword, which he had managed to cut into the ground a centimeter or two deep, could not go any further.

Compared to the wall that is more than a meter thick, this wound is almost negligible.

"Xiao An, I don't think I'm strong enough, I can't cut it down~" Wang Hu scratched the back of his head in disappointment.

"Hey, what are you thinking? I spent a lot of money making this thing. If you, a newly awakened being, cut it open, what's the point of me making it?"

Sui An reached out and patted Wang Hu on the shoulder, but he also roughly knew the hardness of this thing.

First of all, as a green building, it's unlikely you can expect it to be indestructible.

After all, such a large section of wall only costs a few dozen Originium. It would be unreasonable for you to be able to withstand a long sword that cost more than ten Originium.

However, this thing is thick. Even if your weapon is harder than it, it will take a lot of time to cut through it, and you're not a dead person who can just keep hacking at it.

Moreover, instead of trying to cut through such a thick wall, human professionals will simply choose your shield.

After all, the wall is only three meters high, so you can get up there with a little help.

However, this thing works very well against source beasts during a blood moon, and not many can jump over a height of 3 meters in one go.

It can at least greatly reduce the consumption of energy shields.

"Sigh, the wall is finished, but I'm broke now..."

After the wall was completed, Sui An's Originium assets shrank to 119, and he only had 4 sets of basic materials left.

After recycling the sand and gravel wall, I got 20 limestone cores, which are worth 100 Originium.

"I didn't expect the benefits of the lord profession to be so good. The initial wooden house and the walls alone are worth three or four hundred source stones."

Sui An looked at the core of the territory with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Was there anyone who just wanted to coast along, come up here and have their buildings reclaimed, then live the life of an ordinary person? That money would be enough to live comfortably.

After all, the consumption needs of ordinary people are much lower. One Originium is only equivalent to the purchasing power of daily necessities, which is actually not bad.
