Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1328: Chapter 454: A New Phase, Monster Attack Event

"Currently, your Melting Furnace has been upgraded to Level 21, successfully transforming into an Energy Station."

"The Lord Mansion has also reached Level 11, becoming the Lord Castle."

Du An’s tone was very calm, as if he were reporting an ordinary matter.

But Cao Xing was extremely excited!

Because the Melting Furnace and the Lord Mansion are the most important buildings in the territory!

Only when these two buildings reach a certain level can Cao Xing’s territory progress to a new stage of development.

Speaking of which, he had already noticed the changes in these buildings within his territory.

The current Melting Furnace, previously a five-meter high, two-meter diameter cylindrical shape, has now transformed into an eight-meter high, metal-hued three-tier prismatic tower-like building.

It looks like an Energy Tower, containing surging energy!

However, when you get close, you won’t feel the high temperature emanating from inside.

It provides warmth to the entire territory in another manner.

He glanced at the attributes.

[Energy Station: Level 21]

[Effect: Can increase the temperature of a 5-kilometer diameter area by 15°C~40°C]

[Extra Effect: High Energy State (After activating High Energy State, can provide additional heating of 25°C~35°C to the territory, but the consumption per hour will increase by three times)]

[Consumption: 1 hour/1 Primary Energy Crystal]

[Materials needed for next level: Fine Iron*50,000, Copper*30,000, Mithril*10,000, Master-level Elemental Crystal*500]

(Introduction: An Energy Station capable of providing immense heat to the territory, you can comfortably endure even when a storm comes...)

...

Compared to the previous Melting Furnace which could only heat locally, the closer to the Melting Furnace area the temperature got higher.

The energy provided by the Energy Station is much more advanced, being able to provide stable and uniform heat.

It’s like a powerful source of heat, keeping the temperature of the entire territory at a favorable level.

In addition to this, the 21-level Energy Station also has the [High Energy State] feature, allowing for increased temperature in the territory through higher energy consumption.

"This High Energy State is quite good, even in stormy weather, the territory’s temperature won’t drop much."

"Just when Dazhuang has mined a large number of Energy Crystals from that Stone Cave, it’s enough for a long time of consumption."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, his gaze once again turned to his Lord Mansion.

No, now it should be referred to as the Lord Mansion, but should be called the Lord Castle.

This magnificent castle already exceeds twelve meters in height, with its area increasing by more than double.

The entire exterior is constructed from sturdy gray stone blocks, with towering four-corner turrets and flags fluttering at the top.

The great castle gate is made from heavy wood and strong metal, adorned with intricate patterns.

"Truly impressive!" Cao Xing praised.

Then he glanced at the attributes.

[Lord Castle: Level 11]

[Height: 12 meters]

[Area: 832 square meters]

[Armor: 1200]

[Durability Value: 300,000]

[Current population capacity: 2954/6019]

[Accompanying Aura Effect: Fertility Aura (Benefits workers by adding 20% extra when resources are brought back to the territory)]

[Next requirement: Level 22 Energy Station, Wood*100,000, Stone*50,000, Fine Iron*30,000, Mithril*10,000, Master-level Elemental Crystal*300]

[Upgrade time needed: 452 hours 67 minutes]

[Simultaneous Working People: 0/4]

...

"Not bad, not bad, the population of Level 11 Lord Mansion has increased significantly again!"

"Next, I can commence large-scale soldier recruitment again!"

Although Zhuoma’s Claw Point Store has ended, with no more sources of Recruitment Scrolls.

But that doesn’t matter.

Because next, the population can be sourced from the natives.

Entering the development phase this time, the system is guiding survivors to engage more with the natives.

Even if they are just many civilians, Cao Xing can train them into Ascalon Soldiers, Frost Archers, or Shadow Assassins through the Training Camp.

With Cao Xing’s territory strength, their levels can be quickly increased.

Besides, there’s another soldier recruitment mode related to the Mechanic.

Of course, this should be discussed later.

Polar People Du An continued to report: "Lord, besides the Energy Station and Lord Castle, the other two buildings you commanded, the Teleportation Array and Statue, have also been completed."

"It’s right there."

Cao Xing looked over, and sure enough, he saw a glowing Teleportation Array on a piece of open space in the Second Ring Area of the territory.

And near the territory square, a majestic, high-statue holding a Forging Hammer stood.

Cao Xing looked at the attributes of these two buildings.

[Large Space Teleportation Array]

[Area: 314 square meters]

[Maximum Transmission Distance: 3000 kilometers]

[Simultaneous Transmission People: 300 people]

[Transmission Cooling Time: 6 hours]

[Currently Recorded Transmission Beacons: None]

...

...

[Artisan God Statue (Orange)]

[Quality: Epic]

[Area: 317 square meters]

[Building Height: 28 meters]

[Crafting Equipment Speed Bonus: 30%]

[Success Rate Bonus: Green Equipment+35%, Blue Equipment+25%, Purple Equipment+20%, Golden Equipment+15%, Epic Equipment+10%]

(Note: A statue with faint divine power, besides increasing success rate, might have unexpected benefits for the Forging Master in the territory)

...

Cao Xing’s face broke into a smile again.

These two epic quality buildings have also been successfully constructed.

Especially the teleportation array, which is extremely important for Cao Xing.

"Great, now I can go to the Eternal Frost Main City, then find a way to obtain the teleportation array’s permission from the main city, later I can teleport freely."

Of course, this might be a bit challenging.

As mentioned before, the Eternal Frost Main City will not easily grant permission for their teleportation array to a Chosen Lord.

But Cao Xing has some connections in the Eternal Frost Main City, probably not a problem.

If not, other methods can be considered.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing wasn’t worried about this.

He continued: "Okay, I know about your progress.

"Now, everyone continue working."

"As you command, Lord!"

Everyone scattered.

And Cao Xing was contemplating his next move.

This month’s Battle of the Oracle yielded a harvest.

He has many items in his backpack that need to be dealt with.

Such as those Hearts of Power, and Expert Level Badges, among others.
