Chapter 55: Task Completed

At this moment, Zhang Qiang’s Health Points were in the single digits; he had entered a Near-Death State. If left alone, he would bleed to death within ten minutes.

A bottle of Healing Potion was taken from the ring and poured into Zhang Qiang’s mouth. Soon, Zhang Qiang’s Health Points recovered a small amount and stopped dropping.

Seeing that Zhang Qiang was out of danger, Xu Feng stood up, tightened his grip on the longsword, and with a victorious smile on his face, walked step by step toward the Insect Nest.

Insect Nests below Three-Star had no attacking abilities; they only possessed the simple ability to produce Insect Soldiers and parasitize other organisms. Therefore, once Xu Feng eliminated all the Insect Race created by this Insect Nest, the nest became like a defenseless young girl exposed to three burly rascals.

“Let’s attack together!” Xu Feng laughed heartily, swinging his longsword as he chopped at the Insect Nest.

This Insect Nest had over thirty thousand Health Points. Even without any attacking abilities, it was enough to make three people swing their swords until their arms and legs were sore and they gasped for breath.

No one knew how long they had been hacking away, but finally, the Insect Nest let out a dull screech from within and began to swell.

“Run! The nest is going to explode!” Xu Feng yelled, turning and fleeing immediately. Ma Wei and Zhang Qiang quickly followed him, moving away from the Insect Nest.

“I’m still in a moderate injury state. Next time something like this happens, can you give a warning earlier?” Zhang Qiang complained with a face full of discontent.

Xu Feng, in high spirits, joked with Zhang Qiang, “Heh, your body is digitized. As long as you aren’t crippled, running at full Health Points or half Health Points makes no difference.”

Bang!

Once the Insect Nest behind them swelled to a certain point, it suddenly exploded like a bomb. Its massive body shattered into fragments, scattering everywhere within a radius of one kilometer.

“Haha, the task is complete!” Xu Feng laughed, taking the Quest Scroll from his ring.

At this moment, the Quest Scroll was emitting a dazzling golden light, looking extremely luxurious. Xu Feng unrolled the scroll—it was already in a task-completed state.

“Gold Grade lord task: Build Camp has been completed. Do you wish to begin building the camp?”

“Start building!” Xu Feng said. As soon as the words left his mouth, the scroll in his hand turned into a stream of light and flew into the location of the former Insect Nest. Soon after, a stone monument emerged from the ground.

The stone monument grew larger and larger, eventually forming a huge stone wall nine meters high and three meters wide. The surface of the wall was smooth as a mirror, occasionally flashing with streams of light—clearly a treasure.

The moment the stone monument stopped growing, a milky white halo spread out from it, slowly expanding in all directions. In an instant, the entire valley was enveloped in the milky white glow.

“The camp has been established. The team that accepted the quest will obtain ownership of the camp…”

“Scanning the number of team members who accepted the quest…”

“This quest was accepted and completed by you alone; therefore, 100% ownership of the camp belongs to you. Congratulations!”

The reward for this camp-building task was ownership of the camp, shared by everyone who accepted the quest based on their Contribution Points. The percentage of ownership varied accordingly.

Xu Feng’s quest was accepted by him alone. Though he hired Ma Wei and the others to help him complete it, he never shared the quest with them. So even though Ma Wei and the others contributed effort and even paid the price of Guo Yu’s life, the quest was recognized as completed by Xu Feng alone.

Now, Xu Feng was the sole owner of the camp, and 100% ownership belonged to him. Here, Xu Feng was the highest authority.

At this moment, Xu Feng did not show any joy but frowned, looking very hesitant as if facing a difficult decision.

After a long while, Xu Feng took a deep breath and shouted loudly, “I want to transfer the ownership of this camp to Earth’s Will!”

Immediately, the weather changed drastically. Thick dark clouds covered the sky above the valley, howling winds mixed with lightning, and thunder roared like an angry beast. It seemed Xu Feng’s words had provoked something.

“Transfer of camp ownership requires the agreement of all holders of ownership rights…”

“You currently hold all ownership rights of the camp; please confirm the transfer of ownership…”

“Note: The camp’s development will greatly assist your future growth. Please carefully consider every decision you make…”

“Note: Once ownership is transferred, it cannot be undone. Please carefully consider every decision…”

“Note: Camps are extremely rare and of immense value. Please carefully consider every decision…”

A series of notifications sounded in Xu Feng’s ears, each carrying a trace of anger and fear…

“Confirm: transfer camp ownership to Earth’s Will!” Xu Feng still shouted loudly.

“Transfer confirmed…”

Crack! A thunderclap exploded right above Xu Feng’s head. The dark clouds in the sky vanished as quickly as they came, disappearing completely once ownership transfer was confirmed—as if the lightning storms and dark skies were an illusion.

“Whew~” Xu Feng let out a long breath, seeming to relax a great deal.

Having experienced ten years of apocalypse, Xu Feng knew better than anyone the immense value of a camp. But it was precisely due to his rebirth experience that he also understood the time and effort required to build a camp.

Those who claimed camps in his previous life were invariably large guilds with thousands of human elites. It was important to know that camps were rated by Star Level, from the lowest One Star village to the highest Nine-star Capital. The resources needed for construction could scare a person to death.

Apart from the difficulty of construction, another reason Xu Feng gave it up was time…

In his previous life, no team that completed camp-building tasks ever relinquished ownership; either they painstakingly gathered resources themselves or sold ownership to large guilds.

Because of this, throughout the ten years of his previous life, no camp had ever been built into a Nine-star Capital.

Ultimately, while Alien Invaders aggressively invaded, humans suffered defeat after defeat and were confined to a very small territory, edging close to destruction.

At that time, one team completed the camp-building quest, and Earth’s Will directly intervened, forcibly seizing ownership of the camp. Because of this move, this camp, established very late, was built into a Nine-star Capital within a few months—the only Nine-star Capital on Earth.
