Chapter 160: Teleportation Array

Only a handful of people survived the Monster Siege. Surviving such a catastrophic monster attack depended not on strength, but on luck.

Rumble~

Buildings rose from the ground one after another. The camp, which had already been upgraded to district-level, began to upgrade rapidly. Several Arrow Towers appeared, guarding every inch of the valley alongside the large crossbows at the city gates.

Level 1 District-level City…

Level 2 District-level City…

Level 3 District-level City…

Without any pause, the camp’s area kept expanding. The original buildings became taller, more magnificent, and grand. New buildings continuously emerged, with various functional facilities appearing one after another.

Rumble~

Finally, after more than half an hour of upgrading, Nuwa Town surpassed the district-level and upgraded directly to a city-level camp.

From then on, Nuwa Town became Nuwa City. In the city center, a statue of Nuwa over ten meters tall appeared, becoming the guardian deity of Nuwa City.

“This is probably the first city-level camp on Earth,” Xu Feng remarked.

“Boss, we hit the jackpot…” Li Min trembled with excitement. Owning land in such a city would undoubtedly be incredibly valuable.

“Hehe, I’ve already taken all the best land and properties. Now that their value has soared, you must manage them well in the future,” Xu Feng said.

“Yes, Boss, rest assured. I have already completed the construction of several buildings in the city. You now own two Blacksmith Shops, two Alchemy Workshops, one Auction House, one Mercenary Hiring Center, and one Tavern…” Li Min’s face showed excitement. Just these buildings alone would be worth a fortune in the future.

“Boss, we should also plan for the land outside the city as soon as possible. I intend to build another manor and recruit people to grow crops…” Li Min said.

Hearing this, Xu Feng felt a stir in his heart. The Planter was a special profession. Ordinary food and water could be bought at the Fate Store, but some special ingredients relied solely on the Planter profession.

“Sure, hire more Planters. Additionally, if you see any other promising areas in the city, go ahead and buy them,” Xu Feng said.

“Planters?” Li Min looked puzzled, as if she had never heard of them before. But she quickly understood and nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, Boss, I will definitely recruit enough Planters.”

Xu Feng nodded. He opened the Virtual Map and glanced at it. After exchanging a few more words with Li Min, he turned and walked into the city.

Nuwa City had now upgraded to a city-level camp, gaining the qualification to build a Teleportation Array. Currently, in the northwest corner of the city, a star-gate-like symbol shimmered—that was the city-level Teleportation Array.

The city-level Teleportation Array could transport users to any location on Earth where a Teleportation Array had been built. If Nuwa City were to grow into a nation-level camp, it would be able to construct an interstellar Teleportation Array, connecting to the greater cosmic network and allowing direct travel to other planets.

Arriving at the Teleportation Array, Xu Feng saw a structure resembling an Altar. It was hexagonal on the outside and circular in the middle, built from white starry stones that shimmered with blue specks. Surrounding it were Energy Stones that looked similar to Insect Crystals.

Standing on the Teleportation Array, a miniature virtual model of Earth appeared before Xu Feng’s eyes. However, there were no available destinations for teleportation at that time.

Nuwa City had the first Teleportation Array on Earth. Other camps had not yet upgraded to city-level and did not possess the qualification to build Teleportation Arrays, so Xu Feng could not go anywhere for now.

Frustrated, Xu Feng rotated the miniature virtual Earth and noticed an inconspicuous spot near the equator emitting a faint milky halo.

“Huh? What is this place?” Xu Feng zoomed in on that area.

“Ridgeback Mountain, Celestial Garden? What is this place?” Xu Feng frowned, his eyes filled with confusion. He had never heard of this place in his previous life. However, in his past life, Xu Feng had only stayed within Huaxia and never ventured beyond its borders. This place called Celestial Garden was located in Brazil near the equator, a region Xu Feng had never visited.

For a moment, Xu Feng felt tempted to go there and see. At that time, many people were astonished by the changes in Nuwa City, and very few had come to the Teleportation Array. Perhaps Xu Feng would be the first person to use the Teleportation Array and travel to another location.

Standing on the Teleportation Array, Xu Feng clicked on the teleportation point for Celestial Garden.

System: Teleport to Ridgeback Mountain? Teleportation cost: 20,000 Fate Points.

Xu Feng gasped. It was expensive. The cost of using the Teleportation Array was not fixed—the farther the destination, the higher the cost. Teleporting within Huaxia would not exceed 6,000, but this single teleportation cost 20,000.

Nevertheless, Xu Feng was quite wealthy now, and 20,000 teleportation fees were nothing to him.

A flash of white light enveloped him, and Xu Feng’s figure vanished from the Teleportation Array.

Feeling slightly dizzy, Xu Feng closed his eyes involuntarily. When he opened them again, he found himself standing on the peak of a mountain. Beneath his feet was a Teleportation Array identical to the one in Nuwa City. However, this one seemed to have been built a long time ago—it looked dilapidated, with cracks in some areas. It probably wouldn’t withstand the Spacetime Force of long-distance teleportation many more times before collapsing.

Carefully stepping off the Teleportation Array, Xu Feng looked around.

He was in a range of rolling mountains. Not far away stood a towering peak, its summit obscured by clouds. Halfway up the mountain was a sea of clouds. A small path stretched from the peak where the Teleportation Array stood all the way to the Main Peak.

Apart from the peak under his feet, which had the Teleportation Array, several other smaller peaks around were adorned with palaces of varying sizes. These palaces were all in a European and American style—rugged, tall, with stone pillars soaring into the sky, carved with massive reliefs. However, like the Teleportation Array, many of these palaces were on the verge of collapse, as if a strong gust of wind would cause them to crumble.

Xu Feng followed the path toward the Main Peak.

The Main Peak appeared majestic, with a dark brown mountain body lush with greenery. Vast stretches of trees adorned the Main Peak beautifully, resembling a sea of forest.

The higher he went, the sparser the trees became, but the older they were. They looked as if they had grown for hundreds of years, verdant and vibrant. Some trees even emitted a faint milky halo, and a wave of life energy washed over him.

Xu Feng felt puzzled. This place seemed like a holy land, brimming with life energy. The air carried a refreshing scent, but so far, he had not seen any living creatures—only tall Ancient Trees.

Just then, a faint, elusive fragrance wafted into Xu Feng’s nostrils. It was intoxicating, making his entire body tremble slightly, as if every cell was cheering with joy.

Following the scent, Xu Feng searched carefully until a small, greenish plant came into view.
