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

November 8st

Sui An arrived in the wilderness for the tenth time on a blood moon night.

Without opening the rift, Sui'an's territory returned to normal, and this time even the Shadow Lizard swarm did not appear.

The dozen or so scattered first and second-level source beasts were all left to Wang Hu.

In the far west, within the third-tier territory, the sound of massive cannon fire could be heard intermittently, and intense flashes of fire illuminated the distant area outside the territory, blasting a large source beast to pieces.

He Chong, dressed in a suit of golden armor, stood calmly on the watchtower, with Fang Si standing very close to him.

Although Fang Si, a level 4 professional, was currently in He Chong's territory, he did not cause the rift to open.

Compared to level 2 territories, level 3 territories seem to have a higher tolerance for professionals. However, at a glance, there are quite a few people in the He family's territory, more than a dozen.

However, some of the people here don't seem to be professionals; there are only five or six real professionals.

After glancing at the energy-based artillery fire outside, Fang Si spoke softly.

"We added two ordinary people today, but the rift still hasn't opened. It seems we've reached the level 3 limit. Around the full moon in the middle of the month, this number of people might be enough to open the rift."

"Let's keep this number together. Even if the rift opens later, my territory now has so many blue-quality level 3 Black Thunder Cannons, greatly increasing our firepower. We should have enough strength to fight back."

He Chong nodded in agreement, and subconsciously turned his head to look southeast, as if trying to see Sui An's territory.

"After two consecutive Blood Moons, he didn't try to open the rift again, and his territory remains at level 1. It seems that the rift that time was an accident. Perhaps Brother Fang is right; it was just caused by a mid-to-high-level professional who happened to be passing by."

"That kid got lucky. Since it wasn't intentional, let's let him go."

"Okay~"

Fang Si agreed in response, her tone revealing a subtle hint of relaxation.

However, his expression suddenly changed the next moment, and an invisible wave rippled from afar.

"More cracks have appeared around here!"

He Chong also kept his eyes fixed on the direction of Sui An's territory, but after a moment he realized something was wrong.

"It's not him! But this fluctuation shouldn't be too far from our territory. Where is it located?"

"It's there!"

Fang Si's eyesight seemed to be better. He scanned the watchtower and quickly found the opening of the rift. He pointed to the location.

That was in the southeast of He Chong's territory, where the dazzling starlight was like a shining star, easily spotted by everyone.

He Chong's face was gloomy. This location was only about seven or eight kilometers away from his territory. If any problems arose, he might be implicated.

But the crack has already opened, so there's no point in saying any of this now.

"Brother Fang, is that Zhao Yuan's territory? I remember it's level 2, right?"

"Yes, he started building his territory earlier than you. Judging by the timeline, he was probably aiming for a level 3 territory."

Fang Si explained softly, but there were still some things he didn't say.

The area along Line 7 was originally a gathering place for second-generation rich kids. In fact, it could be said that the latter half of Line 7 was built because of the gathering of these second-generation rich kids.

Originally, everyone was developing peacefully, until He Chong took the initiative to open up a gap on Line 7 to accelerate his promotion. It was as if a Pandora's box had been opened, and perhaps more people would recognize this method.

Your He family is second-generation, but isn't my Zhao family the same?

Zhao Yuan's father, Zhao Heng, was a level 4 blacksmith. Although his level was lower than He Chong's mother's, he still had enough savings to support his son.

He Chong naturally understood, and he slammed his fist on the railing, his breathing becoming somewhat erratic.

Fang Si stood quietly to the side, waiting for He Chong to process his emotions on his own. Sure enough, He Chong returned to normal after a short while.

"That location is quite interesting. Compared to where I am, it seems closer to Sui An's territory, but we still have to be careful."

"Brother Fang, give the order to keep a close watch on the movements of the source beasts in the southeast to prevent us from being affected."

"yes!"

……

Sui An was now looking towards his southern territory, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Just a few days ago, Wang Zhen gave him a warning and a reprimand, which put an end to his desire to actively open the rift. As a result, he managed to hold back, but the second-generation rich kid next to him couldn't.

"Xiao An, what territory is that?" Wang Hu asked with a serious expression. Unlike Sui An, he was not optimistic and was instead worried.

"Hmm~ a kid from a second-generation blacksmith's family, named Zhao Yuan; he's about the same age as Erhu, and his territory is currently at level 2."

Sui An recalled his initial investigation records. He did not have the financial resources of the He family to investigate the surrounding area at any time.

Just a few days after the blood moon, the He family's group came to loiter near my territory again, seemingly checking to see if I had been promoted.

Fortunately, Sui An abandoned the idea of ​​expanding his territory in a short period of time and actively opening the rift.

Otherwise, they might actually expand the walls, and then their level 2 territory would be impossible to hide.

In fact, for Sui An now, the range of level 1 or level 2 has not changed much.

Even if he upgrades to level 2, he can only build a few more wooden houses in a short time, but this thing is not very useful.

So he continued to use Originium to draw from the limited-time purple blueprint library, and as expected, he drew his second wish, which was his third purple blueprint.

[Building Name]: Dandelion's Thousand Wind Barrier

[Building Type]: Standalone building

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

[Building Quality]: Purple

[Architectural Effect]: Summons the wind's protection, creating a dandelion barrier with swirling winds. Upon creation, the barrier repels all source beasts or enemies and prevents all external targets from entering.

The area of ​​this barrier cannot exceed the territory area of ​​the current building level. The larger the barrier, the greater the energy consumption. The builder needs to control the size of the barrier and select additional targets to repel it. After the barrier is broken, it takes 6 hours to recover before it can be reopened.

[Additional Cost]: None

【製造需求】：东风之翎（0/1）、基础源质材料（0/10）、1级源石（0/8）

【升级需求】：东风之翎（0/1）、基础源质材料（0/10）、2级源石（0/8）、领地核心等级（lv2）

This is a building similar to its own energy shield. Its main body consists of four round pillars, no more than one meter high and ten centimeters thick, with various dandelion shapes carved on them.

Sui An placed them in the four corners of the wooden house.

This barrier is very effective; it can be turned on and off at any time, and its defensive capabilities are much stronger. When it was upgraded to level 2, Wang Hu's attacks on it barely caused a ripple, making it much stronger than an energy shield.

However, it also has drawbacks; once it is destroyed, it is basically impossible to restart in a short period of time.

Compared to the 10-minute restart time of the energy shield, this is far too long.

In addition, when it is activated to the maximum size of the energy shield, even when it is not in an attack state, its energy consumption to maintain it is twice that of the energy shield.

The energy shield needs to be fully operational for 12 hours to consume about 4% of the territory's core energy, while it consumes about 8%.

Therefore, Sui An usually doesn't use it, only as a trump card.

It is precisely because of this purple building that Sui An's confidence has greatly increased today.

Even if he saw the door next door open slightly tonight, and it wasn't far from him, he wasn't too nervous.

He even has two core materials for the barrier and one core material for the Sword Star Totem. If he could, he could also create two more purple buildings.

However, Sui An did not do it because this limited-time pool only lasted for one month, and he had to ensure that he had enough materials to upgrade to level 4 before considering whether to make a second pool.
