Chapter 93: Wonder Upgrade, Core Mission (Five updates, 10,000 words! Please subscribe!)

"You have constructed the Wonder Sun God Statue (Magic)!"

"Artificial Wonder: Manifestation of the Self"

"A magnificent sculpture built in the likeness and concept of the Star-Bearer ruler Li Ang, it stands between the valley and the coast, reflecting the Tartarus Lighthouse. The faith of all people and the power of psionics grant this massive sculpture unimaginable abilities, allowing it to resolve its own pressing need—logistics speed."

"Wonder Trait: After successful construction, the builder will choose one civilization content to make a wish upon, obtaining different items, technologies, or bonuses based on the level of piety of the members within the faction."

"The Wonder Trait you have obtained is: Population Transfer!"

"When carrying a population wishing to reach your region for Subspace travel or migration, their speed will increase by 300% from a non-realistic perspective, while simultaneously potentially causing cognitive dissonance. It is recommended to pair this with the Magic Reshaping technology. Relevant units can be built to compensate and soothe this."

"You have constructed the Wonder Belen Tower (Magic)!"

"Artificial Wonder: Golden High Tower"

"During the era when the Ancient Ones were still present in reality, the Lizardmen once conceived a marvelous strategic concept. If the power of the Subspace were utilized, guided out, and then gathered and released within a solar mirror, it could complete a bombardment capable of sinking ships in one strike. The Ancient Ones praised this idea but warned that without coordinates, the bombardment would be random. The world of psionics is vastly different from the material world; this was a warning."

"Wonder Trait: Every cycle of your trade fleet will increase your city's Magic income by a certain amount! All ships entering your faction's territorial waters will be locked onto by the Golden High Tower, and their subsequent field of vision will be illuminated."

"Golden High Tower self-effect: Fires three blazing bombardments per minute, dealing 50,000 structural damage and 1,500 armor-piercing damage. In the absence of coordinate guidance, it fires randomly within a fifty-kilometer radius. If the enemy lacks anti-space settings and is under coordinate guidance, it can be released instantly inside the enemy fleet."

Golden Land; two months after Li Ang fully supported its construction, this corner, which initially could only be treated as a trash bin for the entire civilized world, finally displayed a brilliant radiance.

On this Albion Island, it was actually not as desolate as Li Ang had initially imagined. Within this massive island existed swamp monsters, traitorous Knights and serfs of Bretonnia, ancient Druids in hiding, and some vampires and Undead troops from who knows where.

Of course, at the very beginning, these beings on the island did not exactly welcome Li Ang's arrival.

The construction of Golden Land was extremely unsmooth. Then, after mobilizing the Sky Battleship to conduct three rounds of bombardment and blowing up everything that could move, Golden Land could finally be considered truly ready for construction.

In two months, Li Ang was able to build from scratch, in the polar region, an entire system for launching expeditions into the Chaos Wasteland. Now, with the help of many heroes and trade routes, this area, which Li Ang defined as a rear port, naturally changed with each passing day.

Golden buildings spread across the land like bamboo shoots after a spring rain in just a few days. Wide streets, smooth traffic order, as well as the completed port and the various trade zones for different races that had been prepared and demarcated in advance. To other races, the entire Golden Land seemed like a city that had appeared out of thin air, seemingly turning into a prosperous state in the blink of an eye.

But in Li Ang's eyes, this Golden Land still had a long way to go.

"Star-Bearer Faction affiliated city, Golden Land"

"Resident population: 14,252"

"Jurisdictional outposts: Far-Look Cape, Golden Battery"

"Currently owned trade routes: 7. Hope City, Slave Islands, Tilea, Marienburg, Gelongni, Lothern, Hell Peaks."

"Daily income: Equivalent to 145 units of gold, 780 research, 496 culture"

For a trade hub that had been under construction for two months, Golden Land was an unimaginable miracle. Relying on its absolute population exchange speed and faster logistics methods, it held a fatal attraction for merchants of all races.

Countless bulk goods and seasonal items were sold in Golden Land and then transported at high prices to the nobles and certain special groups who were in urgent need of these fresh goods.

Numerous items from the Dark Elf, precious jewelry from the High Elf, as well as leather from Norsca and cultural products provided by players and aesthetic items from other worlds, all spread to the downstream trade areas through the logistics routes of Golden Land. Even just by collecting taxes, Golden Land was already making a fortune.

As for why no one chose to use extreme methods to strike at Golden Land to protect the value of their own shipping lanes, in reality, there were some at the beginning. But everyone quickly investigated and found out that the four battleships hanging in the sky that night were not for show, and the territory holder himself was an unimaginably powerful wizard. Under these circumstances, Golden Land was naturally established.

And Li Ang also took the opportunity to build many structures to bridge the gap between the municipal and population needs of the two cities.

But now, all of this was not what Li Ang was most concerned about.

What Li Ang was most concerned about was the steel relic before his eyes.

When he had just arrived here, the entire steel creation was deeply buried underground, and it was impossible to see just how massive it was.

But with the completion of the Golden High Tower and the maturation of the security conditions of the two cities, Li Ang began to clear and re-repair the Ancient Ones' relic where he had been staying all along.

And now, Li Ang discovered that his past thinking might have been a bit shallow. Because this Ancient Ones' relic was likely not the kind of large base built on the ground as he had imagined, but a massive, unimaginable tower reaching to the sky that had been driven straight into the ground, which resulted in what it was today.

And they definitely did not leave intentionally; they left in a great hurry.

"Magic units 120,000, steel 4,000, Repair Blueprint (Treasure) has been provided."

"Ancient Ones' Experimental Zone second-stage restoration mission has been completed!"

"Ancient Ones' fitness area has been opened! You may assign anyone to perform fitness exercises inside. Within twenty-four hours, the exerciser's physique is guaranteed to increase by 1~3 points. Ineffective after exceeding twenty points. Only two hundred people can enter at a time!"

"Ancient Ones' Experimental Zone third-stage restoration mission opened!"

"Required materials: Magic 200,000, precious metals 400, steel 5,000, Ancient Ones' Star-Track Calculation Device. (Current location: beneath the Antarctic Doomsday Volcano, inside the Chaos Fortress)"

"After the mission is completed, the Ancient Ones' star-track database will be opened, and you will be able to obtain data regarding this planet."

Well, just like I told the editor, let's just scrape by. In any case, 10,000 words daily, keep working hard! (End of chapter)
