Zongman: Evolution Paradise

One is the emergence of various player gatherings.

The safe Paradise Mall doesn't allow players to list their handcrafted gadgets, so players can only cautiously search for or organize player gatherings to barter and try to increase their strength.

Secondly, powerful forces have an advantage over individual players.

Individual players have to put their lives on the line, while those from powerful factions don't need to worry about danger through their internal channels. This is the advantage of Chiba Zoo.

"So what's the point of you swallowing the land deed?"

Jolyne looked at the Nargacuga City Bible and found that its page had been transformed into an aerial map of the Windblown River, with Jolyne and the others on the shore even appearing in the drawing.

"Mortal, do not touch my body!"

The teachings of the Snail City still belonged to the little female demon, and Joren simply placed it on the Windblown River.

Although this place is called Wind-blown River, there is actually no wind flowing at all.

"The power is summoning! Summon!"

Chapter 388 Snail Annihilation City

"This is my original summoning ability! The land deed is integrated into my pages, and I can instantly summon the power of the person who holds it to the location of the territory, or I can use the land deed to move the territory to other places."

There are also some secondary abilities, such as the ability to monitor what is happening in the territories I control at any time, and the ability to use territories as anchor points to move people or objects between these territories at any time.

Those who understand the times are wise, and Luo Yancheng quickly explained his new ability.

After hearing this, Jolyne was also extremely gratified.

This special-prefixed textbook from the City of Desolation is finally not so useless compared to the Human-Girl Mutual Aid Manual.

Lord projection,

War perspective

Army teleportation

Artificial alteration of the territorial layout...

These features are practically war skills!

Miss Hong exclaimed in surprise, "These are all very important functions, especially territory relocation. In theory, only level 0 territories can change location, while normal territories cannot."

This means we no longer need to systematically conquer the perimeter of Lettucefield.

Even distant territories with unique and precious local products can become nourishment for the Ghost Stories Association.

"That's definitely good news."

Now that the Church of the Desolate City had taken shape, Jolyne fed it the deed to the Pumpkin Carriage and then reached out to the pages of the Windblown River.

The next moment, a fierce wind swept across the river.

A phantom hand appeared from the river surface, and a burst of water erupted the moment it slammed down.

"Let's go to Lettuce Ridge."

The River God only stripped away the ability to copy; the workshop didn't touch the other skills, such as water control.

It directly manipulated the river to transport the pumpkin carriage to the other side of the Windblown River.

After walking another twenty li,

Then we arrived at the territory of Lettuce Territory.

This is a large hill covered with a type of gray lettuce.

Oh, lettuce was recommended by Miss Hong.

These cone-shaped vegetables now look more like a middle finger stuck in the ground, all pointing directly at the visitors, which is somewhat impolite.

Jolyne's eyes turned blue, and the clear world enveloped Lettuce Collar.

Lettuce Territory consists of three parts: the hills in the middle of the territory, the plains near the Whispering Forest, and the sandy salt flats next to the Dead Sea.

With a total area of ​​2000 square kilometers, it is already the size of an ordinary county town.

The plains appear to be farmland here, with large fields of lettuce growing everywhere.

The hills form the city, with three deep and eerie castles guarding a white round tower.

"Rapunzel?"

Jolyne thought of that fairy tale movie, her vision of the White Tower suddenly cut off.

The witch found him and, quite cruelly, cursed him to death.

Unfortunately, the workshop blocked it.

"The ruler of Lettuce Territory is very powerful, only slightly less so than me."

Ms. Hong, acting as the tour guide, continued her explanation:

"Lettuce Territory is a level two city, and it is only one city away from becoming a level three kingdom.

As far as I know, the population of Lettuce Territory has reached more than 13,000, and that witch has also trained more than 30 real ghost stories.

As for my original purpose in coming here?

Miss Red paused, thought for a moment, and continued, "The witch's daughter, Princess Rapunzel from the White Tower, has come of age, and the witch plans to find her a 'husband' to whom she can entrust her life."

Um, the husband must be a woman. I heard that the witch specially brought water from the Zimu River for this purpose.

There's an auction before the blind date, and I heard there's something really interesting going on there.

Beyond that, I suspect the witch's deeper purpose is to devour another city, thus turning Lettuce Territory into the Lettuce Kingdom.

After saying all this, Miss Hong noticed that the president was suddenly looking at her with a very strange gaze.

“Miss Hong isn’t a liar, and none of the things she’s said have specifically stated her purpose for coming here, so,”

Jolyne said strangely, "Miss Red wouldn't happen to be here for a blind date with Princess Rapunzel, would she?"

For some reason, Jolyne suddenly felt a sense of realization.

It seems Miss Red is a lesbian. Could it be that she surrendered to Jorogumo because he was too cute?

Everyone stared at Miss Red with strange looks, while the shepherdess's gaze darted around, clearly indicating a special relationship between her and Miss Red.

Jorogumo silently wrapped her beautiful, exposed feet with spider silk.

Previously, Miss Red's gaze had always been fixed on her toes. Jorogumo thought this was because Miss Red's true form was a pair of red dancing shoes, and when she spoke to her, her line of sight could only be level with her toes.

Looking at it now, something doesn't seem quite right.

Miss Red awkwardly tapped her heel and explained with feigned composure, "I am a pair of women's dance shoes, and it is a very normal thing for me to like girls."

You can't expect me to like a man sticking his sweaty feet inside me.

"Some perverts who stick their feet into your shoes aren't sweaty feet," Jolyne thought to herself, then gave it a thumbs-up in encouragement: "Very true."

Jolyne, despite her flaws, still fully respects the preferences of the ghost stories.

Suddenly, there was a jolt.

Lily glanced outside and said, "We've been in a car accident."

"Car accident?"

Miss Hong couldn't wait to change the subject.

The pumpkin carriage wheels struck a lettuce plant, but a scream came from beneath it, and a hunched old man crawled out after a while.

Compared to the pollution of the Wind-blown River, this derivative of the ghost story still retains some human form.

His waist was bent at a 60-degree angle, his back arched high like a snail, his spine replaced by a gray lettuce, and purplish-red veins wriggled like earthworms, supplying energy to the lettuce.

Because of the lettuce on his back, he could only look at the pumpkin carriage by bending and tilting his neck.

Are the guests here for the dinner party?

Miss Hong replied, "Yes."

"The dinner will be in the valley, so please be careful not to waste too much lettuce."

The old man had no intention of leading the way; after explaining, he squatted down and returned to the pit he had been in.

"Food is scarce in the fairy tale world. Their diet after they become derivatives of ghost stories in order to survive is quite different from that of humans. The people of Lettuce Territory basically absorb moonlight by the lettuce on their backs. As for the lettuce they grow, it is not something they can afford to eat."

"It looks so... weird."

As for photosynthesis, food-loving Satsuki Nakano really doesn't know how to describe it.

She looked at the gingerbread witch, but this ghost story had the power to create desserts, and the misfortunes of these ghost story derivatives were not just caused by a lack of food.

Kanroji Mitsuri tugged at Jolyne's hand, and Jolyne shook her head helplessly.

If they were merely contaminated humans, then a large-scale purification ritual would suffice.

And the current situation?

After countless generations of breeding, they are no longer human, but have evolved into a strange species somewhere between humans and ghost stories.

Such mutants can only be transformed back into humans by using the workshop to change their race back.

But what's the point?

Chapter 389 Lettuce Witch

The round tower at the center of the territory is the core.

The three large castles guarding the round tower were three level-two cities that were swallowed up by the Lettuce Territory.

The cities that were swallowed up not only had their territories incorporated into Lettuce Lands, but their inhabitants were also integrated into them. As Jolyne traveled in his pumpkin carriage, he saw some alien species that resembled the bat-people of the Strange Word Forest.

"So if the supernatural forces here are so strong, why haven't they transformed into a level three kingdom yet?"

Hmm... at least the river god next door was completely powerless against Lettuce Territory's conquest.

Nakano Satsuki asked.

Miss Red explained, "That's because the existing level three kingdoms don't want any new kingdoms to appear."

A city needs to devour four cities of the same level to transform into a kingdom. Actually, this is not difficult. The growth model of raising gu will always produce quite a few.

But a significant problem arises when one takes the final step towards becoming a kingdom: existing kingdoms don't want new ones to emerge.

"But isn't the emergence of a new kingdom a good thing for a kingdom that has been established for many years?"

After all, they could simply devour newly born kingdoms with their superior strength.

Nakano Satsuki didn't understand, so Miss Red explained again in a nested manner: "This is because level 5 divine kingdoms don't want new divine kingdoms to be born. Since level 4 empires have their ascension channels blocked, they can only block the ascension channels from level 3 to level 4 to avoid too many empires of the same level posing a danger to them."

Then, once the ascending channel from level 3 to 4 is locked, the level 3 kingdoms also begin to lock the ascending channel from level 2 to 3.

In other words, if Lettuce Territory wants to complete the final step of its transformation into a kingdom, it must first have the strength to withstand a nearby level 3 kingdom.

That's why I suggested that the Ghost Stories Association should be located as far away as possible from those level-five divine kingdoms.

The closer one gets to the divine realm, the more terrifying the strength of those fourth-level empires surrounding it, which have been suppressed from advancement. Compared to them, the border empires are like insects.

"In other words, if you want to upgrade your kingdom, you first need to have the strength of a kingdom; if you want to transform into a god kingdom, you also need to defeat an existing god kingdom?"

Nakano Satsuki understood the logic behind it and commented, "It's absurd yet rational."

"Doesn't that sound more interesting?"

Esdeath was very interested; she had found a new hobby in this world.

"Didn't those empires that were forcibly denied advancement by the divine kingdom try to unite and resist?"

Lily raised her hand and asked, "According to Miss Hong, these empires have been accumulating strength all along."

"Of course it has."

Miss Red: "When I traveled through the fairy tale world, I once encountered a scorched earth where the moonlight no longer shone and thunder that pierced the heavens and the earth flashed all day long."

Later I heard that it was twenty-eight level-four empires that united to attack the Green Green Grassland.

On that day, a wolf wearing a wizard's hat and holding a staff emerged from the Green Green Grassland.
