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

"You're going to exchange all this source beast meat for source stones?"

Erhu looked at Sui An with some confusion, asking, "Aren't you planning to expand your territory a bit?"

You must have had several thousand Originium the night before, how come you didn't spend any of it?

If you don't buy materials or create architectural blueprints, and just keep exchanging them for Originium, what special purpose does that serve?

"Yes, we don't need the materials yet."

Sui An did not explain; he had his reasons for wanting the source stones.

In the short term, he does not prioritize upgrading other facilities in the territory.

The purple blueprint library has only 12 days left in its limited-time period. It's unclear what the conditions will be for the next opening, and it's highly likely that it won't feature the current three blueprints. This is a type of building that you won't get once you miss it.

Today, I dug up the source stones from these source beasts, and the income was far less than what I earned from the rifts I opened. It only amounted to about 660 yuan.

After all, the main source beasts this time are level 2 moon wolves, and level 3 ones are very rare.

After deducting my own expenses, I would only get about 500 yuan in the end.

There were also two white spoils, both materials, which I tossed to the erhu.

Fortunately, with the [Source Crystal Core Tower], Sui An's daily source energy recovery speed has increased. Since there has been some time since the last great battle, a large part of the expenses here are the daily recovery of territory core energy.

However, most of the source beast meat this time was not damaged by the Sword Star Totem and remained intact, so we can still make some money.

"Alright!" Erhu saw that Sui An had confirmed it, so he stopped worrying about the development of the territory. After all, the territory belonged to Sui An, and it was up to him to decide how to develop it.

"Then I'll take it back and sell it. After Wang Zhen's business is settled, I'll bring it to you in a couple of days. We can also visit the secret realm on the way."

"Okay! Next time you come, please bring me more supplies; I'm almost out!"

While Sui An and Erhu finished their conversation, Zhao Feng was also explaining something to Wang Hu, and seemed to have given Wang Hu something, presumably an item to assist Wang Hu's cultivation.

After the two separated, the transport vehicle left the territory and headed towards Jiangcheng.

Although the transport vehicle only had Erhu and Zhao Feng on it at the moment, its actual combat strength was higher than that of Wang Zhen's squad, so Sui An was not too worried.

Wang Hu resumed his training in the courtyard, while Sui An stayed indoors, studying his assets.

Now, all his Originium stones, when converted together, amount to a considerable number: 2801.

However, based on the previous rift consumption statistics, he set a minimum resource limit of 1000 for himself, which he never stopped using, just in case.

After all, he currently has three purple buildings, and once a war breaks out, the energy consumption will be like a flood.

He currently has 1801 Originium he can actually use, and this amount of Originium is giving him some trouble.

The question is whether or not to pursue the enlightenment effect of the purple blueprints. If so, with a minimum of 900 coins for one blueprint, he can only draw two at most.

Based on the inspiration effect of the blue blueprint, the resources required to fully utilize it are terrifying, requiring at least 8100 Originium!

Unless the rift is replicated several more times, it is basically impossible to meet such resource demands, but the dangers that come with it are also quite uncertain.

"Fine, I'll stick to my original plan: keep 1000 points as a fixed amount, and go all out to get the purple blueprint. Whatever level I get, I'll go!"

"After all, even without considering enlightenment, exchanging 300 Originium for a single purple core material is a huge profit."

Sui An patted his head. Since he wasn't going to increase the size of his territory anytime soon, he would focus on maximizing its quality.

Using a mixture of level 2 and level 3 Originium to replenish his energy by 1800, Sui An began to draw again, choosing the [Ignite the Dawn Sword Star of Darkness] to make a wish.

After all, offensive buildings are always the optimal solution!

[Basic Source Material *172]

[Burning Wish Agate*1] [Heart of Pure Water*2] [Wing of the East Wind*3]

[Dandelion's Thousand Winds Barrier *1] [Dawn Sword Star Igniting the Darkness *1]

"The blueprints are fine, so why are all the materials Dongfeng Zhiling (East Wind Feather)?"

Sui An looked at the materials he had produced with some distress. Although he had already met the material requirements for upgrading the three buildings to level 4, he had three more barrier core materials than he needed.

As for a barrier, Sui An didn't want too much of it. Although it could provide an extra layer of protection in critical moments, it wasn't very useful in normal times.

He prefers offensive buildings, which can be more helpful in normal times.

But having drawn the card, there was no way to change it at that moment, so he could only choose to put it aside for now.

Let's see how it inspires us first.

[The Dawn Sword Star that Ignites the Darkness]

[Inspiration (1/3)]

[Sword Rain: When you select Sword Rain mode, your initial Flame Sword will transform into 16 smaller Flame Swords, unleashing a wider range of fire-attribute energy attacks on the designated target area. However, the smaller Flame Swords will no longer transform into Fire Birds, nor will they trigger the Sin Flame effect.]

"Is this considered a cleanup mode?"

Sui An carefully examined the text description. According to the text, the Sin Flame and the Fire Bird would no longer be triggered. That is, the terrifying high-temperature flame impact of the second stage of the Fire Bird would also likely be gone.

This seems to perfectly compensate for one of Sui An's recent troubles, namely, the excessive damage to the source beast's body.

"If the effect is the same as Aunt Zhao's Flame Blade, that would be best!"

Both are fire-based energy attacks, but Zhao Feng's fire energy is more subtle, serving more as a means of energy attack. The fire itself is far less terrifying than the Firebird's.

Therefore, the source beasts killed by Zhao Feng, apart from the cuts being scorched black by flames, will not have any other parts affected.

However, the specific effects still need to be tested again on Blood Moon, since each sword strike costs 24 Originium, and he can't bear to test it casually.

Turn your attention to the inspirational effect of the second purple building.

【The Dandelion's Thousand Wind Barrier】

[Inspiration (1/3)]

【Boundary: When you select boundary mode, each of your barrier pillars can maintain an independent barrier. The radius of the barrier cannot exceed one-quarter of your territory's radius. The center must be a barrier pillar, and the destruction of one barrier will not affect other pillar barriers. The basic characteristics of the barriers remain unchanged.】

"Boundary? That's a good attribute!"

Sui An finally understood why the main body of this building consisted of four pillars; it turned out there was another characteristic supporting it.

There are four independent barriers, each with a protective radius of only one-quarter of the territory. It may seem that the overall protection range of the four small barriers is several times smaller than the whole territory, but this is not actually the case.

Because it is a spherical protective barrier for territory, many areas are actually ineffective in terms of protection, such as the upper floors and underground areas.

My territory is now 40 meters in diameter, and the small barrier has a protective diameter of 10 meters, which is enough to protect the key points of my territory.

For example, the size of one's own elemental statues, cabins, stages, etc., can be completely protected by the barrier.

Once the energy shield is breached, if the remaining attack intensity is not high, you can choose to activate a large-area overall barrier for protection.

If the attack intensity remains high, four small barriers can be activated to protect important buildings. Most importantly, each small barrier is independent and will not affect the other three if it is destroyed.

Moreover, he now has two extra barrier materials, enough to build a second level 2 barrier.

The thought of the enemy breaking through his energy shield only to find there was another barrier, and after painstakingly breaking through it, wanting to wreak havoc, only to discover that there was another small barrier.

Who dares to say their defense is bad now!
