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

[Building Name]: The Astrologer's Illusion Altar

[Building Type]: Altar

[Building Level]: Level 1 (can be upgraded to Level 4)

[Building Quality]: Individual Building

[Architectural Effect]: The Illusion Altar summons a phantom created through illusions in the water, which can trap source beasts or designated enemies within a certain range in the illusion, attracting source beasts to attack.

This illusion cannot be destroyed by ordinary means. It will automatically shatter after 5 minutes and has a 20-minute cooldown. The hallucinogenic effect is affected by the target's grade and the user's will. The illusion must be controlled by the builder, who must also designate additional hallucinogenic targets.

[Additional Cost]: None

"???"

This was the first time Sui An had ever seen such a peculiar, even somewhat abstract, building.

Am I hallucinating? Am I actually playing a game?

"I always feel like the style of my territory is going to go way off track..."

This building blueprint is easy to understand; it's like a decoy skill in a game. But how come a purple-quality building only has so few functions?

Sui An expressed some doubt. White, green, blue, purple, and gold—the purple blueprint was already top-quality. Logically, it shouldn't be that simple.

"Is there some difference in scope and time?"

"Never mind, let's make it and see."

Sui An clicked on the blueprint and selected to build. In the 3D projection of the territory, a small circular flower bed-like projection appeared before his eyes.

He casually placed the altar at the entrance of the wooden house, and now his doorway had become a bizarre sight, with flags, an altar, a greatsword, and even a stage!

What is all this nonsense?!

After confirming the construction, Sui An quickly walked to the door.

A purple phantom was rapidly solidifying in front of the door, transforming into a peculiar altar.

Below the altar is an ordinary flower bed, no more than 50 centimeters high, with a circular opening about one meter in diameter at the top, and a small witch statue on top of the flower bed.

However, this witch is somewhat chibi-style, with a large pointed wizard hat, a big head and a small body, and pigtails. She also sticks out her short, chubby hands and makes funny faces.

It's like it's saying to you, "Come and catch me!"

Sui An was somewhat stunned. He couldn't help but scratch his head, something about the altar in front of him just didn't look right...

It's not that the little witch's image is unattractive, but it seems a bit too jarring compared to my own apocalyptic art style.

"Is this the fantasy architecture blueprint library?"

"This is clearly a library of architectural blueprints from anime/manga!"

Sui An suddenly understood his cheat code: "So you've brought elements from mobile games from your past life here."

His memory was fluctuating; he seemed to have played the game this witch was in before… oops, he had played the game this witch was in, but he couldn’t remember anything about it.

Not only the image of this witch, but also the other game content I played in my previous life, all suddenly seemed to be sealed away.

How could this happen?

Something's wrong, something's very wrong.

Sui An returned directly to the core of the territory and questioned in a low voice:

"Did you use some kind of cheat code to block out my memories of my past life???"

But with nothing changing at the core, Sui An had no choice but to give up.

"Fine, I won't argue with you. I'll go check out the results."

This altar needs to be operated manually and is not as intelligent as the [Lightning Statue of Oz].

Sui An first looked around. It was afternoon, and there was no one in the surrounding wasteland, not even a trace of animals or source beasts.

Wang Hu was still on guard duty in the watchtower, completely unaware that a small flower bed had appeared in front of the wooden house.

After glancing at the energy reserves in the core of the territory, Sui An directly summoned a projection. Unlike the Sword Star Totem, this time the altar did not appear in sight.

With a thought, blue light flashed on the altar, and a phantom almost identical to the witch appeared beside the altar.

This thing can only be a phantom, looking like a traditional Chinese painting composed of countless dots and lines, except it's a 3D version.

Under Sui An's manipulation, the witch's phantom suddenly winked at herself and waved, appearing exceptionally playful and cute.

Sui An discovered a new world; this phantom was like a puppet, capable of making various movements and expressions under Sui An's control.

However, due to some unreasonable actions, clipping occasionally occurs in the game, which looks a bit strange.

Looking at the illusory figure before him, Sui An fell into deep doubt.

"Can this thing really be used as bait to lure out Source Beasts?"

"Do Source Beasts have this aesthetic system?"

After playing for a minute or two, the phantom still hadn't disappeared, so Sui An controlled it to leave the territory.

Surprisingly, this thing can pass directly through walls and enter directly from outside the territory's energy shield.

Even outside the territory, this phantom can not only exist, but Sui An can still control it.

It wasn't until he was about 100 meters away from the core of the territory that Sui An felt the range restriction.

Sui An placed the phantom in mid-air and immediately canceled control, but the phantom remained suspended in mid-air without dissipating.

Wang Hu looked at Sui An, who was climbing up the watchtower, with surprise: "Isn't it time for your shift change yet?"

"I'm tinkering with something new, let's see how it goes~"

Sui An had used the last piece of ironwood core to build another watchtower. Standing on the watchtower, he pointed into the distance and asked Wang Hu.

"Can you see that little portrait over there?"

Following the direction Sui An pointed, Wang Hu immediately saw a small, blurry figure, which was quite far away and almost impossible to see clearly.

"It's too blurry, did you do this?"

"Yeah, it's something new!"

Sui An reconnected to control and began trying to make the phantom grow larger. As he focused his mind, the phantom of the little witch indeed began to grow, from its original height of several tens of centimeters to 1 meter, and finally to 6 meters before stopping.

"Can you see it clearly now?"

"I can see it more clearly now, how did you do that?"

This time, Wang Hu was genuinely curious. This thing had a greater impact on him than the greatsword from yesterday. He even saw a phantom beckoning to him.

"It's an illusion, a phantom. I've heard it can lure people into attacking it, but I don't know how it does that."

Sui An really wanted to test the effect, but there were no source beasts in the territory at this time, so he had no way to try it.

Wang Hu turned his head in surprise and looked over: "You mean it works on people too? I haven't felt anything."

"Do you want to try?" Sui An was somewhat tempted. It didn't work on people now because of his control, but the source beasts were automatic.

After thinking it over, Sui An decided to suppress his thoughts.

"I don't know what the consequences of seducing you will be. This thing is of a high quality; it might be dangerous."

"In that case, it's better not to have me try it."

When Wang Hu heard Sui An say that the quality was a bit high, he automatically thought of the greatsword from last night. He didn't want to try that thing at all; it would burn to ashes.

"I'll try finding a Source Beast tonight~"

After leaving the illusion outside the door, Sui An observed it for a while and found that it lasted for about 5 minutes before dissipating, which was indeed consistent with the description. As a level 1 building, its energy consumption was actually not low, at 4%.

This cost is probably comparable to a level 1 Swordsman's attack, but its effectiveness is unknown.

After thinking it over, Sui An upgraded it to level 2. He had exactly two materials, and although he didn't know how effective the upgrade would be, level was definitely a priority over quantity.

"Let me see what this thing is, it's so strange."
