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

Fortunately, I have enough purple materials. I drew 8 East Wind Feathers and 8 Pure Water Hearts, which means that my two barriers and two witch altars can be upgraded to level 4.

On the contrary, I'm one short of the Burning Wish Agate. There are only 4 days left in the limited time offer. As long as the error isn't too severe, it shouldn't be a big problem.

At this stage, we can now create two level 2 Sword Star Totems, which will greatly increase our firepower coverage.

"Let me see the new inspirational effects!"

The Astrologer's Illusion Altar

[Inspiration (1/3)]

[Eternal: Activate Eternal Mode upon summoning. Your illusion's duration is increased to 10 minutes, but its cooldown is increased to 60 minutes.]

"This works great!"

The first enlightenment of the Witch's Altar is extremely simple: it simply trades cooldown for duration. In terms of effect alone, this is definitely a negative improvement.

After all, originally only 4 witch altars were needed for the cycle, but now 6 are needed to satisfy the requirement.

But for Sui An now, this is definitely a positive improvement.

After all, low-level fissures rarely stay open for more than 30 minutes; they usually close within ten to fifteen minutes.

Therefore, the cooldown time is not much different between the original 20 minutes and the current 60 minutes.

At this stage, this duration represents a real improvement.

Of course, if you originally had 4 seats, this is a negative improvement, since 4 seats can be cycled.

But when Sui An thought about the Originium needed for the four sites, his eyes went dark. Unless all the materials were of questionable quality, there was no chance.

"Let's see the second effect of the Sword Star skill; this is what I've been waiting for!"

[The Dawn Sword Star that Ignites the Darkness]

[Inspiration (2/3)]

[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.]

[Fire Phoenix: When you select Fire Phoenix mode, your eight initial firebirds will combine into a larger fire phoenix, which will fly a longer distance in the designated direction and will no longer be affected by the Sin Flame effect, but the accompanying flames will be hotter.]

"Wow, this effect is interesting!"

Sui An looked at the second enlightenment effect of the sword star, which was actually to adjust the circular attack range to a rectangular attack range.

Based on the normal inspirational effect, these two ranges may be roughly the same, but in actual practice, the effects may be completely different.

"I just don't know how big this fire phoenix is, or how far it can fly."

This still needs to be tested.

In addition, the fact that the Sin Flame still doesn't trigger and the so-called higher temperature are all similar to the clearing-out-of-duty special attack, which also needs to be tested.

However, Sui An instinctively disliked this effect, since it was his spoils of war that were being burned, and the faster they burned, the more money he would lose.

Judging from the effect of the sword rain last night, if those twelve armored rhinoceroses had been burned to death, I would have lost at least four or five hundred source stones today.

Sui An mentally simulated it, and he roughly got a sense of it.

"Unless this monster can only be subdued by high temperatures, I'm afraid I won't be able to use this enlightenment effect."

Since it has this special enlightening effect, it means that this special effect has a place to be used.

Having confirmed the effects of the Enlightenment, Sui An upgraded the level 1 Sword Star Totem and Witch Altar to level 2, and then carried out another Enlightenment modification.

At this point, all of Sui An's territory, except for the wooden houses, cellars, and crossbow watchtowers, was at level 2.

Standing in front of the wooden house, Sui An looked at the exquisite buildings around him and felt extremely satisfied.

"Now, without three or four level 4 professionals, my territory shouldn't be breached."

"I never imagined that in just one month, before even reaching level 3, I would already be almost invincible among low-level professionals!"

"It's a pity I'm a construction engineer, so I can't go out and have fun..."

"It's time to speed up the upgrade!"

……

The He family's third-level territory to the west.

"Bang!"

He Chong sat at the table, looking at the source stones he had collected, his face flushed.

Suddenly, he slammed his fist on the edge of the table.

"Damn it, how come this is all I got? It's not even enough to make up for last night's losses. The Black Thunder Cannons I just acquired are all destroyed!"

"Does being a level three prodigy mean I still need my parents' support to survive in the wilderness?!"

"Young Master, this is normal!" Fang Si, who was standing to the side, looked a little tired, but his voice was still steady.

"The armored rhinoceros is an elite level 3 source beast. In addition, there are a lot of them. When they charge in a group, even if I encounter them head-on, I have to avoid their sharp edge. I can only snipe them from a distance and stop their charge before I can take them down."

The two were discussing their case in the central circular building, but the territory was in complete disarray.

The once thriving territory now appears exceptionally empty.

The two lone arrow towers and the heavy, imposing cannon towers were nowhere to be seen, and the walls on the east side of the territory had completely disappeared, exposing the territory to the outside world, no longer possessing its former grandeur.

Fang Si's words of comfort did not improve He Chong's expression. His fingers tapped rapidly on the table, making a thumping sound.

"Seven level 3 Black Thunder Cannons, eight level 3 Adamantite Crossbow Towers, ten sections of level 2 Green Wall..."

"In total, I lost at least six thousand source stones, but only gained a little over three thousand. It was really worth it for me to raise this territory~"

"Ha~ha~ha~"

"The wall! The wall! In the end, it's still a problem with the wall!"

"If the walls hadn't collapsed, how could my blue-quality Black Thunder Cannons have suffered such heavy losses!"

"If I had Zhao Yuan's level 3 Ink Iron Wall, neither the last incident nor yesterday's would have happened."

He Chong's face became increasingly flushed. He suddenly turned his head to look at Fang Si beside him and asked through gritted teeth.

"Brother Fang, are there still no blue city wall blueprints available on the market?"

Fang Si shook his head: "There's still no one selling them. Low-level blue-quality building blueprints are already very rare, so it's normal that we can't acquire them."

"Bang!"

He Chong's face was contorted with rage as he slammed his fist on the table again, sending countless source stones flying into the air before scattering and falling back to the ground.

He growled at Fang Si with a hoarse voice.

"Then let's raise the price again. It's just a low-level blueprint; how can the price be sky-high?"

"Young Master, Master Xu has already raised the price to 1500 Origin Stones, this is already..."

"Then let's increase it to 3000!"

"Yes, young master!"

Fang Si lowered her eyes and stopped arguing with him.

He knew very well that He Chong was easily angered and explosive, and he also knew that He Chong would calm himself down, but every time He Chong vented his anger for no reason, it still annoyed him and made him increasingly impatient.

But he knew he couldn't resist, since his parents were still being raised by Master Xu. Although they were well-fed and clothed, they couldn't leave her sight.

Otherwise, why would Xu Rong and He Yuan trust me and let me be their son's personal bodyguard?

Sure enough, after He Chong vented his anger, he gradually stopped hitting and scolding. His complexion gradually returned to normal, and even his voice lost its hoarseness.

"Brother Fang, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself again."

"It's alright~"

He Chong ignored Fang Si's calm tone and the scattered source stones on the ground. He turned around, sat on the soft couch, and slowly lay down.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head and asked again.

"Brother Fang, what was the situation with Sui An's territory last night? Was it wiped out?"

Fang Si's hand, which had just loosened its grip on her lower back, suddenly clenched again, as if she had been caught off guard by He Chong's abrupt question.

He looked at He Chong, who had already leaned back on the soft couch, hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly replied.

"The caravan that passed by this morning said his territory was fine, as if it hadn't been damaged."

"Bang!"

"Damn it, impossible!"
