With the endorsement of three Celestial beings, Sakura Country had no choice but to swallow its dissatisfaction and withdraw its cruisers from the waters around Milisland overnight. The United States, preoccupied with its own domestic demon situation, needed their assistance and was in no position to intervene on behalf of Sakura Country.
The following noon, at the Modu port, a massive cargo ship, under the personal command of Zhang Junbao, set sail for Milisland, laden with countless construction materials, equipment, and the first batch of several thousand workers. They encountered no resistance along the way.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Dragon Palace Building, Zhou Ningdong, Li Chenxu, Liu Hai, and four team leaders handpicked by Ye Yun were seated in the office.
“Have all our reserve teams completed their certifications? What’s the situation with the Enlightenment Tower now?” Ye Yun asked Liu Hai.
“The reserve teams have all been certified. The Enlightenment Tower is currently prioritizing military and police in batches for assessment. We estimate that around 250,000 military and police personnel will pass the assessment daily,” Liu Hai replied, looking at his report.
“The speed is still too slow. Currently, our country has over 2.3 million active-duty military personnel and over 2.4 million police and firefighters. This will take more than twenty days?” Ye Yun was quite dissatisfied with the pace.
“This… General, it’s simply that our village is too small. Our village’s average online population exceeds 170,000. With so many people suddenly flooding in each day, the Enlightenment Tower is constantly overloaded,” Zhou Ningdong interjected.
“If the living area isn’t enough, then expand it. Spend money! Fengle Village has secret realm dungeons, and everyone’s level has increased. We only need to keep one or two of the wild areas. The rest can all be used for village construction! In short, build as large as possible!”
Fengle Village currently occupies an area of 200 square kilometers, with the living area being only 90 square kilometers. Logically, a 90 square kilometer living area should be sufficient for players. However, Ye Yun’s ultimate goal is to restore this village to the scale of a divine city!
That would require at least an internal city area of no less than 2,000 square kilometers, with a total land area not less than 50,000 square kilometers!
“Yes!” Zhou Ningdong nodded.
“I made a fortune in the Shanhai Realm this time. As my subordinates and senior members of the Dragon Palace, I intend to enhance your talents first, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for me, Ye Yun,” Ye Yun said indifferently, rubbing the ‘Dao Ring’ with his finger. At the same time, he entered the Heavenly Dao and transferred 103 trillion gold coins to Zhou Ningdong’s account.
Originally, he had 98 trillion. After Ye Yun returned, Lu Jie quickly gathered 5 trillion gold coins, so Ye Yun now had over a hundred trillion, making him quite the mogul.
*Clack…*
The eight people looked up at Ye Yun, their faces filled with shock.
“Boss… do you know what talent level we are currently?” Xie Yifeng asked, being the first to recover.
“Isn’t it SSS? I’ve already given the gold coins to Zhou Ningdong. He’ll distribute them uniformly. Any surplus can be used for the development of Milisland and the renovation of Fengle Village.”
…
“Isn’t it SSS… any surplus…”
The few people were instantly bewildered after hearing Ye Yun’s words.
At that moment, a streak of light flashed on Zhou Ningdong’s ‘Dao Ring,’ indicating a message from the game. Zhou Ningdong quickly entered the game to check…
“Hiss… 103 trillion! What the hell… General, did you rob the treasuries of several countries?”
Zhou Ningdong exited the game, looking at Ye Yun with shock. He automatically ignored Ye Yun’s mention of the Shanhai Realm and, connecting it with Ye Yun’s actions last night, immediately thought that Ye Yun had robbed the treasuries of those countries that had been flexing their muscles.
“How much?” Sitting beside Zhou Ningdong, Li Chenxu, who had overheard him, thought he had misheard.
“I can only say, Boss, you’re amazing!” Mu Ziming, who was usually quiet, couldn’t help but give Ye Yun a thumbs-up.
The others also finally snapped out of their stupor from the allure of money. Damn it, 103 trillion. After deducting the cost of upgrading their talents, the eight of them would still have a surplus of 400 billion gold coins. The thought alone made their scalps tingle.
“Alright, Jin Zhiyuan, if I remember correctly, you’re a beast tamer, and your talent skill is Beast Emperor. For every ten levels, you can tame an additional wild beast, right? How many can you tame now? Two or three?” Ye Yun turned to the blonde beauty again. Compared to Ding Yi, this woman appeared somewhat immature, with a plump face that looked cute.
“Yes, I can tame three now,” Jin Zhiyuan replied, her face flushing slightly as she looked up at Ye Yun.
“That’s good! I’ll give you a Skill Manifestation Card later. First, manifest your Beast Taming skill and tame two underwater creatures and one flying creature in reality. I’ll find the specific ones for you. Then, you and your team will be the first to station on Milisland. Ensure that no one can approach the sea or the sky!”
*Whoosh…*
As soon as Ye Yun finished speaking, a commotion arose among everyone.
“Boss, you mean skills from the game can be brought back to reality?” Zhou Ningdong was now numb with shock.
“Yes, but it requires a specific Manifestation Card!”
“However, your talent skills will also appear in reality after you’ve manifested your strength. Other skills can only be manifested through Skill Manifestation Cards.”
Upon hearing Ye Yun’s words, a flicker of desire appeared in their eyes. As high-ranking members of the Dragon Palace, they already possessed considerable resources. Having passed two Enlightenment Tower assessments, they had manifested 3% of their strength into reality.
According to Zhou Ningdong’s various tests, the physical fitness of the eight individuals had surpassed that of Ming Jin martial artists! Now, hearing that even skills could be manifested, how could they restrain themselves? They all looked at Ye Yun with eager eyes.
“Don’t look at me. I only have two cards right now, and one is for Little Jin to ensure the future safety of our Dragon Palace’s base camp.”
Ye Yun looked at them, knowing full well what they were thinking, and immediately refused righteously. This was a joke; he had given them so much gold, and now they were eyeing his cards? How could this be?
“Also, in the future, pay attention to whether there are any formation masters in the game. If there are, try your best to recruit them into the Dragon Palace. Then, when we set them up on Milisland, tsk tsk…”
Ye Yun couldn’t help but laugh as he imagined future teleportation arrays, defensive formations, and offensive arrays on Milisland.
“Formation masters? Boss, what kind of thing is that? A hidden profession?” Xie Yifeng, seeing Ye Yun laughing like a pig, couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, formation masters are a hidden profession! Their numbers are likely very, very small. If you find such a talent, they will directly enter the Dragon Palace’s formal member roster, with double the treatment of formal members.”
Formation masters, even with Ye Yun’s three years of experience from his previous life, he had only heard of such a profession but had never truly seen one. It was said that the Royal Dragon Guild in his previous life had such a formation master, which was why they were able to withstand the suppression of countless powerful factions.
One person could rival a thousand troops! This was the description of formation masters on the forums in his previous life, and the greatest affirmation of their capabilities!
Furthermore, besides formation masters, there was another unique hidden profession in Huaguo, and there was only one person who held it!
Suddenly, a figure flashed in Ye Yun’s mind. Behind him, a sword manifested ten thousand shadows, and one shadow slew one person! Ye Yun himself had once been one of those who was slain.
