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

Time flew by as Wang Hu missed his mother.

Ten days after their last mining trip, Aunt Zhao and her group arrived as promised, having set off very early as usual.

"Little Anzi, I'm not trying to be mean, but why does your territory still look like a level 1 territory?" Erhu jumped off the car and the first thing he did was complain about Sui An's wall.

Sui An, however, didn't care at all: "I'm saving up money right now. I'm going to build something really big, and it'll give you all a shock!"

I've already activated the limited-time banner, which will only be open for 30 days before closing. So, I need to spend as many Originium as possible on this banner during this month.

Sui An had no idea how powerful the purple building was.

But so far, none of the blue buildings given by the cheat code are bad.

Ten days have passed since the limited-time pool opened, but his gains have been mediocre.

I've only saved up 800 level 1 Originium so far. Even counting the 20 pulls I've already done, that's only enough for a small pity pull.

Even if you include level 2 and level 3 cards, it's still not enough to guarantee a big win. Sui An even has some ambitions and wants to draw all three cards!

Therefore, the current gap is still very large, mainly due to its geographical location.

This is precisely where they succeeded, and this is also where they failed.

The surrounding level two and three territories are too close together, causing too many source beasts that usually roam freely to be diverted.

Without the Shadow Lizard swarm attack, the combined net profit from these two Blood Moons was less than 300 Originium.

Compared to the previous days when groups of Shadow Lizards came and the profits were often five or six hundred, this is really quite low.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult!

This perfectly describes Sui An's state at this moment. Although he didn't show it on his face, he actually wanted them to explore the secret realm as soon as possible.

Aside from the mining dividends, there are also the large groups of Shadow Lizards attracted from the Secret Realm, which are direct benefits.

Fortunately, the limited-time pool still has 20 days left, so I still have a chance to make a big profit.

"If you guys don't go explore the secret realm soon, I'll run out of food. Without the Shadow Lizard swarm, I only earn a little over 100 Origin Stones on Blood Moon Night, which is far too little."

"This is still not enough? Do you want to come and race me?" Wang Zhen rolled his eyes at Sui An, thinking, "He's so greedy."

"The territory has changed a lot; many buildings are different now. It must have been upgraded."

Wang Hu led Zhao Feng back after they had wandered around the territory.

Before Aunt Zhao came, Wang Hu and Sui An kept saying they missed their families, but now they were standing there like wooden blocks, and Sui An couldn't bear to look at them.

"Really?!"

Zhao Feng suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Standing in front of the pink stage, she could hardly believe it. Wang Hu was pointing and gesturing beside her, clearly having already told Aunt Zhao about the effect.

Wang Zhen, who was standing at the door, frowned. Something was wrong!

Shouldn't Aunt Zhao take the whip and start lashing out?

Something's wrong, something's very wrong!

While Wang Zhen was still puzzled, Zhao Feng had already stepped up. In just a few breaths, her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Sui An with bright eyes.

Sui An felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively took a step back. Even Erhu, who was sitting next to him, felt it and quickly asked in a low voice.

"What's this pink table thing? And why is Aunt Zhao making that face?"

"It can't be that Aunt Zhao is still a child at heart and likes this anime/manga style, can it?"

"Speaking of which, the legend of Aunt Zhao being number 78 with twin flowers on one stem back then, could it really be true?"

"You brat, what did you say?!"

Zhao Feng blushed and glared at Erhu: "Why don't you try it yourself and see!"

Erhu was also a little curious, so it ran over and stood on it.

Holy crap!

"Damn it, Xiao Anzi, why didn't you say so first?"

"Don't you consider us brothers?"

Sui An stood innocently near the platform, but instead of receiving praise from Erhu, he was met with a barrage of criticism from Erhu.

Just as I was about to retort, I saw Erhu turn his gaze to the side.

Erhu glanced at Wang Zhen and, seeing him silent, asked him with ill intent.

"Old Wang, you come here every day, you didn't know, did you?"

"..."

Wang Zhen remained expressionless. "I'm the boss, the leader of the squad, with five 1.8-meter-tall men under my command. How could I possibly be studying a pink platform? What would my subordinates think of it?"

But Erhu didn't give them any face and went straight for the jab.

"Judging from your expression, I can tell you're a total straight man. You don't even bother to look into this good stuff!"

Wang Zhen thought for a moment, and since he had already been criticized, he should at least get a clear answer to the criticism, so he also stood up.

Sure enough, a few breaths later, Wang Zhen's expression changed, and his gaze toward Sui An became incredibly sharp.

"Very good, very good~"

"You little bitch, just you wait, wait until no one's around~"

"..."

Sui An was speechless. Wasn't it you who didn't want to ask?

Why are you blaming me?

……

With the appearance of the secret realm, the invisible bond between Sui An and Aunt Zhao and others deepened. What used to be a friendship based on living together has now become a more direct binding of interests.

As the only direct builder among them, Sui An's territory has become the unspoken future base for everyone.

It's not that they want to get something for free, but they subconsciously prioritize the development of their territory.

Wang Zhen unloaded an enormous windmill-shaped device from the car: "This is the high-powered blower you requested, it's been custom-made!"

"Just place this thing near the wall and blow on it to see if you can disperse the Shadow Lizard's gray mist."

Sui An quickly examined it. It was very similar to the electric fan from his previous life, only larger, with four large fan blades, each more than 1 meter long.

There are also mechanical control handles and boxes for storing Originium in the back.

After checking the location of the wall, Sui An used the [Gray Steel Rock Structure Wall] to create a base and fixed it to the inside of the wall. This base could be moved around at any time.

I tried turning it on, and the speed of this thing is really exaggerated. The wind force is quite strong. It blows the sand on the ground in front of it clean from a distance of five or six meters.

"This should work!"

In Sui An's view, having his vision obscured by the Shadow Lizard's gray mist every time was an extremely dangerous situation that had to be resolved.

After packing up their belongings and chatting for a while, Sui An drove the erhu-themed vehicle, taking everyone away from the territory.

"By the way, last time Zhang Rui's mother, Sun Ping, attacked Xu Jun, three days later Xu Rong issued a reward for finding his brother. As a result, someone from the He family's group set their sights on me. I killed them in return, and the car is still by the river."

Sui An drove the erhu-equipped transport vehicle directly to the secret realm, but instead took a slight detour to the location where the vehicle was hidden.

"Look, what should we do with this car? It has the He family logo on it, so it's not easy to deal with."

"Xu Rong~ He family~" Erhu couldn't help but sigh. If he could, none of them would want to have anything to do with them.

"I'll take care of it. I'll figure out a way to get it today, and then I'll exchange it for money and give it to you later."

Are you confident?

Sui An frowned slightly and stepped on the brake. He was a little flustered by Erhu's tone: "If it really doesn't work, you can just drive it away and abandon it. It's just me and Hu Zi here, and we can't go too far from our territory."

Erhu glanced at the ball on the slope a few times, then confirmed, "Not sure I can handle it? Don't worry~"

"Alright, then it's up to you!"

The car was started again, and after Sui An sent them into the secret realm, he returned to his territory.

Actually, he also really wanted to see what the secret realm was like, but the secret realm was too unstable right now. Even the three of them were being chased and beaten, so Sui An had no hope in the short term.
