Chapter 448 (1/2)

I woke up early in the morning thanks to the ringing of my phone. I swiped and saw that it was Lin Yixin's number. It was weird that she would call me at 7 am.

“h.e.l.lo? Yiyi, what's up?”

“Hmph, you're actually asking what's up…” She was huffing with rage. “What's up with the picture on the forums?”

“f.u.c.k…” I was a bit speechless. “That doesn't have anything to do with me, okay? It's not like I did it on purpose. Besides, it didn't benefit me in any way either. When I came back to the workshop, I even had to give a half-an-hour-long explanation…”

Lin Yixin couldn't resist a giggle. “Did Sister He Yi slap you into a wall so hard that you couldn't even crawl out of it?”

I bet I looked like an emoji with black lines going down its face. “f.u.c.k, she's not that savage.”

“Hoho.” Lin Yixin let out a provocative laugh. “This is going to be troublesome now. I haven't even woken up and the Eternal Moon Corporation's Planning Department called me. They asked why this photo was there and said that since I was the spokesperson for Heavenblessed's China server, I shouldn't let these kinds of photos leak out…”

“They really are meddlesome. What'd you say in response?”

“I just hung up on them…”

“...”

“Well, since the Eternal Moon Corporation doesn't want your private life to be exposed, let's just find a more secretive place next time…”

“Next time?”

Lin Yixin was probably angry out of her mind. She continued with a voice full of killing intent. “Forget about it! Hmph, hmph!”

“Fine. Wanna have dinner together?”

“Where? I heard that a brand new restaurant opened close by!” she said excitedly.

Me: “...”

……

I now thoroughly understood what it meant when people said “when two foodies come together, the entire world brims with happiness”. I totally get it!

Lin Yixin urged me to get out of bed to manage the territory. I noticed that the territory maintenance should be about done so I got up and washed up. I went out to buy breakfast and placed it on the table when I got back. The workshop's girls should still be sleeping at this time. I was originally going to wake them up but when I opened He Yi's door, I saw that she was hugging her pillow, sleeping sweetly bathed in sunlight. She was curled up like a lazy little cat so I didn't have the heart to wake her up. I silently closed the door and returned to my room. Time to get to work!

Connected to server, logging in!

Swhoos.h.!.+

Inside Sky City, I went to repair my equipment, then replenish my pot supply. After I finished the basics, I opened the guild territory system. I saw an “Undead City 001” option there. That was our new territory!

As the guild's vice leader and the territory's administrator, one of my privileges was immediate teleportation to my territory. It only required 10 seconds of channel time before I was teleported into the city.

Whoos.h.!.+

I turned into countless specks of starry light and flew toward the territory. In the next second, I was inside the Undead Castle. This place had already been refreshed once but it still looked the same. The city walls were still surrounded by fences. It was an extremely simple and crude set-up. Its defenses were practically non-existent, with the exception of the archer tower's resp.a.w.ned NPC archers.

At the moment, there wasn't a single person in sight. Everyone had left this map and no one would come here this early in the morning. This Rank 1 guild territory hadn't opened its teleportation formation yet so unless someone was bored out of their mind and willing to waste two hours to get here, I doubt anyone would bother coming here.

……

I walked in the city's great hall and discovered that it was completely empty. There was only a tall armored general standing there. The moment I came in, this NPC immediately got on one knee and said in a deep voice, “Dark Knight Udal greets my lord! I am the city lord appointed by this territory and I will be a.s.sisting my lord in its administration and promotion!”

Alright then, this guy is like a chief administrator of this territory. He didn't look like one though. He wasn't a fatty, but an actual tough undead knight. Also, a Level 135 shadow-rank NPC, not bad!

I nodded, then brought up the territory administration interface. It was quite barren. The territory only had a potion shop, a smithy, and other basic buildings. There wasn't a single structure unique to this undead city.

“My lord!” the dark knight clamored. “Dark Insects are the foundation workers of Undead Castle. They are the ones who construct the buildings. A Nest of Corruption is required in order to produce Dark Insects. I recommend that you build a Nest of Corruption first.”

“Mn.”

I looked at my choices and there really was a Nest of Corruption for one of my options—

Nest of Corruption: Basic structure. Produces Dark Insects. Resource Requirement: 2000 Gold, 2000 Wood, 2000 Stone, 2000 Crystal. Time Required: 10 minutes.

……

I checked the city's current resources. It only had 5000 of each four basic resources. It didn't seem to have that many resources on hand.

Whatever. I selected Nest of Corruption and pressed Construct!
