Chapter 145: Level One Township

Xu Feng was pleased in his heart. He thought four thousand War Merits were completely enough for the Village of Sacrifice to upgrade from a level three village to a level one township.

A level one village could hold one hundred villagers, a level two village could hold three hundred, a level three village could hold six hundred, and a level one township could hold one thousand two hundred people. But now, the entire Village of Sacrifice only had Xu Feng’s village and Ding Xiang as its one villager.

Xu Feng was not in a hurry to fill up the villagers. There were many survivors in the apocalypse. He thought those who dared to go out and hunt the Alien Invaders could survive if they were careful. But there were also many people who did not have the ability to hunt. These people would be eliminated, and even Earth’s Will would not care about them.

The natural law of survival of the fittest seemed even more cruel at this moment.

Xu Feng could, of course, recruit those survivors who couldn’t hunt Alien Invaders. But compared to survivors, Xu Feng preferred to recruit NPCs with better discipline and obedience as villagers.

After spending over three thousand War Merits, Xu Feng upgraded the Village of Sacrifice to a level one township.

The entire island expanded outward by a few hundred meters. The surrounding mountains were now over three hundred meters high, basically eliminating the possibility of anyone climbing over them to get in.

A large area in the wasteland outside the Village of Sacrifice was also planned for growing food. The Sweetwater Lake also became a real small lake now, not just a small pond like before.

Xu Feng placed the Graveyard of the Undead in a shady spot far from the village, near the mountains. This would be Xu Feng’s final trump card. He would not use the undead warriors in the graveyard unless absolutely necessary. Usually, this place would just serve as a spot for Ding Xiang’s undead pets to recover Health Points.

At this moment, Ding Xiang’s two Skeletal Knights were lying obediently in the graveyard, recovering their Health Points.

“Ding Xiang, from now on you can come and go here freely. Use it as a supply point,” Xu Feng said.

The Village of Sacrifice was now a level one township, with all kinds of basic facilities complete. There were a Blacksmith Shop, an Alchemy Potion Room, and a Fate Store. Also, Xu Feng had hired dozens of NPCs who were distributed here. These NPCs were Xu Feng’s employees and were not counted as villagers of the Village of Sacrifice.

Just then, a contact request from Zhang Min came through the Communicator.

In Nuwa Town, Xu Feng owned ten buildings and plots of land. He had handed one Blacksmith Shop over to Zhang Min to manage. Xu Feng had been a hands-off boss and didn’t know how Zhang Min had been managing it all these days, or if she had lost money.

“What is it?” Xu Feng opened the Communicator and asked.

“Boss, Nuwa Town has issued a city defense mission. In three days, the Light Gate at the channel entrance will fail, and a large number of Alien Invaders will attack. Do you think we should move some assets away to avoid risks?” Zhang Min said with some worry.

Xu Feng smiled slightly. In Nuwa Town, what he had were fixed assets, plus a few dozen NPC employees of Purple and Golden Quality. The rest were the two people, Zheng Yi and Zhang Min.

Zhang Min sending him a message at this time was partly to give him news about the Monster Siege, and partly because she wanted Xu Feng to take her daughter away, just in case.

“Notify Zheng Yi, pack things, and prepare to leave Nuwa Town. Just hand the shops over to the NPCs,” Xu Feng said calmly. “I will come to get you today.”

“Okay, Boss,” Zhang Min said, somewhat excited. It seemed her boss had not abandoned them. Moreover, his resources were clearly not limited to just Nuwa Town.

Ding Xiang wandered around the Village of Sacrifice with great interest. After becoming a Necromancer, she had always survived alone in the wild. She had never been to Linhai City or any other camps or settlements.

In the Village of Sacrifice, she was like an ordinary little girl, strolling around and smiling wherever she went.

Xu Feng glanced at her, smiled slightly, and left the Village of Sacrifice.

Summoning his Skeletal Warhorse, Xu Feng galloped swiftly towards Nüwa Village.

“Ju Zi, listen, what’s that sound?”

“It sounds like horse hooves. How could there be a horse here?”

“Let’s go check it out.”

A team of three was fighting monsters in the wilderness. This place was not far from Linhai City. Many parasitized Insect Humans wandered the wilderness, suitable for solo players or small teams to hunt and level up.

These three were elites from the Doomsday Ark Alliance. Their target was a Three-Star Insect Human. Hunting one Three-Star Insect Human as a team of three was still quite simple.

Among the three, there was a combat Thief, a Two-Handed Swordsman, and an Elemental Mage. They were hacking at a Three-Star Insect Human when they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves approaching from afar, and they all became curious.

“Ju Zi, go scout it out. See what it is. If it’s an elite monster, retreat,” the Two-Handed Swordsman said.

Ju Zi was a combat Thief, holding a short sword in one hand and a dagger in the other.

“Alright, got it. It’s always me who goes forward for dangerous stuff,” Ju Zi twirled his dagger and frowned slightly.

The Two-Handed Swordsman suddenly exerted force, his body spinning abruptly, swinging his greatsword to strike the Three-Star Insect Human repeatedly.

Crack, crack~

The thick Insectoid Carapace on the Insect Human shattered, revealing the purplish-red flesh inside.

“Presence of Mind, Fireball Technique!”

Boom~

A Fireball the size of a basketball smashed into the Insect Human.

Soon, the Three-Star Strength Insect Human was killed under their coordinated efforts.

Thief Ju Zi had already vanished. At this moment, Xu Feng was galloping across the wilderness on his Skeletal Warhorse. The Monster Siege in Nuwa Town would definitely have a defense mission. Successfully defending it would yield great rewards.

The boss of Nuwa Town was Earth’s Will, who possessed the resources of an entire planet. How could it not withstand a small Monster Siege? Xu Feng believed that even if the invaders broke into Nuwa Town, Earth’s Will would immediately awaken from its slumber and use a big move to kill all those monsters.

Therefore, this Monster Siege was only a fright without real danger. Xu Feng naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation.

After this Monster Siege, Nuwa Town would upgrade to the Nuwa District, possibly directly to Nuwa City. Then, they could build a Teleportation Array to go to other cities on Earth. By that time, the value of land in Nuwa Town would definitely multiply.

“This… this is a mount?” the Thief watched Xu Feng galloping towards them from afar, his eyes wide.

“Someone already has a mount now? And it doesn’t look like an ordinary mount either, its grade seems high,” Ju Zi thought to himself.

As Xu Feng got closer, Ju Zi suddenly realized this person looked very familiar.

It’s him!

The Doomsday Ark Alliance had once ambushed the Thunder Martial Hall in the Blackwater Swamp. As a result, Xu Feng ruined their plan and killed many people from the Doomsday Ark Alliance.

The Doomsday Ark Alliance had an internal bounty on Xu Feng. Ju Zi didn’t expect to run into him here.

“Xiao Jian, Ye Yu, it’s Xu Feng, the one with the fifty thousand Fate Points bounty,” the Thief opened his Communicator and whispered.

“Him?” Xiao Jian was startled. He had been in that battle in the Blackwater Swamp and naturally knew Xu Feng’s strength. He never thought they’d encounter him in the wild.
