Chapter 25: Chapter 25 The Protective Circle Has Disappeared
This time I really hit the jackpot, Fang Jie thought, feeling delighted.
"Is Lord Fang Jie there? I have something I'd like to trade." Suddenly, someone contacted Fang Jie privately. However, Fang Jie had set a rule for himself to generally ignore messages from people trying to contact him.
Unless it was really something special, if he checked every message, he would be annoyed to death.
Black Stone Statue Blueprint (Undead): A defense building that can construct special stone statues with attack capabilities, exclusive to the Undead Camp.
I didn't expect it to be a special building for the Undead Camp. However, this item lacked a level indicator, meaning it wasn't Black Iron level. I wasn't sure if the defensive building itself wasn't high enough level or if this item simply didn't display its level.
With only one blueprint, it was impossible to tell anything.
"The blueprint is nice, I can give you ten Skull Soldiers for it."
I wasn't sure if this item was a starting item or if it came from a Treasure Box, but it seemed like it could be useful.
"One hundred, and I won't bargain. For you, part of the Undead Camp, it should be extremely useful. Without one hundred Skull Soldiers, I'd rather wait and see later on."
Fang Jie frowned. He didn't like the feeling of being threatened.
But each special blueprint is indeed very valuable in the early stages, and certainly worth more to me than a mere hundred Skull Soldiers. If I wait until later, the value of this item will definitely not be matched by a hundred Skull Soldiers.
Nobody is a fool; an item valuable in the future can't be traded for its true worth now.
But even when used for trading, they wouldn't be sold cheaply.
After thinking it over, Fang Jie said, "Alright, one hundred it is, deal." He then marked this person named Ji Ling for special attention.
Soon, the blueprint was in Fang Jie's hands, and without a word, he recorded it immediately.
Black Stone Statue: A defensive building with the ability to attack using Death Energy.
Building requirements: 30 units of Stone, 50 units of Yin Gathering Stone, 100 units of Spirit Points.
"What in the world is Yin Gathering Stone? Yet another new material. Without the materials, it's simply not possible to construct it." Fang Jie was speechless, not expecting yet another hole to fall into.
However, he didn't think he had made a bad deal. On the contrary, the harder an item is to make, the higher its actual value. Maybe, he had snagged another bargain, even if it was temporarily uncraftable.
Time ticked away, and at last, it was dawn, with the fourth day's sun about to rise.
"Attention humans from Earth, the protective circle is about to disappear. You can choose to abandon your Territory and be randomly sent to another city for shelter, or you can choose to continue striving where you are."
"Great, you can actually give up, I'm giving up right now."
Immediately, someone gave up, and then they vanished, along with their Lord's Cottage, soldiers, resources, and all—it was all gone.
"Listen up, anyone who dares to give up, I won't let them off."
Some team leaders started panicking; those who gave up were reducing their power, weren't they?
Some who had been overly oppressive to their teams suddenly realized that their situation seemed not so great. Their subordinates, not even bothering to speak, one by one disappeared. No matter how bad it was in other cities, could it be worse than here?
Latter on, even the close followers of some people quietly left.
A man with a somber face watched as his minions disappeared without a trace. Suddenly they had lost their Lord's Cottage and resources, though the losses weren't too great since they kept things in their own hands.
But without these people to work, what was he to do?
Having been previously blacklisted by Ji Guang, they hadn't gathered many Skeleton Soldiers, and now they were in trouble.
"Damn traitors, even if I'm alone, I can still rise." Ji Guang poured a lot of food into summoning farmers—regardless, farmers had Combat Power, didn't they?
Qin Lan anxiously watched the horizon, but then, looking at the thousands of Skeleton Soldiers by his side, he felt much more at ease. No matter the danger, he believed that these thousands of Skeleton Soldiers could protect him.
If it really came down to it, he'd give up at the last moment—there was still time, after all.
Almost at the same time, more than half of the people from all over the world who had come to this world abandoned their Lord's Cottages. Their development couldn't ensure the safety of their lives. Before life safety, nothing else mattered.
Finally, the moment arrived. The protective circle gradually lit up around them, and when it reached its peak, it made a soft sound and then disappeared.
"It seems like nothing happened," Fang Jie said.
But of course, he had already cleared the surrounding area clean, how could there be any danger?

In a blink of an eye, the magnitude of his troops made even him feel terrified. He had controlled the number of Skeleton Labor to ten thousand, but the Skull Soldiers had reached over six hundred thousand.
If this could continue, then he would never lack for Ordinary Level Skull Soldiers.
To accommodate the increasing number of transformation orders, Fang Jie had built ten Skeleton Conversion Fields. Looking over at the area where the Conversion Fields were, it was filled with deep pits.
The moment the protective circle disappeared, the discussion area fell silent. But after a few seconds, it became lively again.
"I'm so relieved, there's no danger, I survived."
"I've arrived at a human town, looking for work. I'll share my journey with everyone later."
"This is bad, I've ended up in a Beastman Tribe, they want to make me a Slave, what do I do, I can't fight them."
"You're lucky; I got to a Vampire stronghold and turned into food. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to become one of them." This guy didn't know whether to regret or brag.
Everyone knew now, those who gave up didn't know what kind of city they would end up in.
Some who had been considering giving up quietly abandoned the thought. Although it was more dangerous here, it was better than facing the unknown. For most people, the unknown is even more dangerous.
