Before that, we can first upgrade the War City and let the craftsmen expand this city.

After all, upgrading a city takes a long time; it cannot be finished in just a couple of days.

Translation: "After all, upgrading a city takes a long cycle; it cannot be finished in just a couple of days."

Expand the city.

Translation: "\"Expand the city. \"" Keep quotes? The original has Chinese quotes 「」. We'll keep English quotes maybe. We'll translate as "\"Expand the city. \""

Xiao Feng opened the permissions, preparing to expand his territory.

Translation: "Xiao Feng opened the permissions, preparing to expand his territory."

After the function was activated, a planar map of War City appeared before his eyes.

Translation: "After the function was opened, a planar map of War City appeared before his eyes."

The surroundings of the map became selectable, allowing him to choose a direction for expansion.

Translation: "The surroundings of the map became selectable, allowing him to choose a direction to expand."

There are five selectable areas, corresponding to five city-building orders; expanding all of them will upgrade it to a primary city of level 1.

Translation: "There are five selectable areas, corresponding to five City Building Orders; after fully expanding them, it can become a Level 1 Main City."

Xiao Feng selected the eastern district block, and the system popped up options prompting him to choose the function of the expanded area.

Translation: "Xiao Feng selected the block in the east city direction; the system popped up options, prompting that he could choose the function of the expanded area."

The selectable range includes residential, commercial, military, agricultural, scenic, etc.

Translation: "The selectable range includes: residential, commercial, military, agricultural, scenic, etc."

Xiao Feng chose residential, after which the system presented several layout options for him to select for construction.

Translation: "Xiao Feng chose 'Residential'; the system then popped up several layout options for him to select, for construction."

This layout map is customizable; for example, if he wants to build a larger manor, he can remove the small houses and replace them with larger ones, like playing a puzzle.

Translation: "This layout map is customizable; for example, if he wants to build a larger manor, he can remove the small houses and replace them with large ones, like playing a puzzle."

However, Xiao Feng isn't very interested in playing with this; he currently wants to focus on improving his strength.

Translation: "However, Xiao Feng isn't very interested in playing this; he now wants to improve his strength more."

Thus he expanded all five blocks according to the original city plan, extending them outward in parallel.

Translation: "So he expanded all five blocks according to the original city plan, extending them in parallel."

System prompt: Performing this main city expansion operation requires deducting 50 billion gold coins from the treasury; confirm?

Translation: "System prompt: 【Conducting this main city expansion operation requires deducting 500 billion gold coins from the treasury; confirm?】"

After he set the expansion mode, the system popped up a reminder.

Translation: "After he set the expansion mode, the system popped up a reminder."

At this moment, the treasury of War City still had over 260 billion gold coins.

Translation: "At this moment, the treasury of War City still had over 260 billion gold coins."

These are the riches accumulated after War City resumed operation; compared to other cities it is relatively poor, and after subtracting the fixed fiscal expenditures for city operations, the truly disposable amount is only over 100 billion.

Translation: "These are the wealth accumulated after War City resumed operation; compared to other cities it is relatively poor, and after subtracting the fixed fiscal expenditures for city operation, the truly disposable amount is actually only over 100 billion."

However, this is sufficient.

Translation: "However, that is sufficient."

Xiao Feng directly confirmed it, and the main city expansion plan was launched.

Translation: "Xiao Feng directly confirmed it, and the main city expansion plan was launched."

System prompt: This main city expansion is estimated to take 15 days; please wait patiently!

Translation: "System prompt: 【This main city expansion is expected to take 15 days; please wait patiently!】"

Expanding one token takes 15 days, expanding five tokens also takes 15 days; the NPC construction team is sufficient, and as long as there is enough money, it can be done.

Translation: "Expanding one token takes 15 days; expanding five tokens also takes 15 days, as the NPC construction team is numerous enough—if there is enough money, things can get done."

In the game, 15 days equals about 1.5 days in real time, which passes quickly.

Translation: "In-game 15 days equals just one and a half days in the real world, passing quickly."

After setting up the city construction, Xiao Feng turned his attention to other loot.

Translation: "After setting up the city construction, Xiao Feng turned his attention to other spoils."

He is most interested in the Divine Punishment skill book! He just hurried back and hasn't examined it closely yet!

Translation: "This skill book was dropped by the Hundred Flowers Divine Envoy; it is exactly the skill previously used to attack Xiao Feng, causing the scene of gorgeous flowers blooming."

Its effect is formidable; based on an archer's damage capability, it can be understood as a 50-meter radius area-of-effect that can instantly kill multiple same-level players.

Translation: "Its effect is quite formidable; calculating based on an archer's damage capability, it can basically be understood as a 50-meter radius area where same-level players are instantly killed in multiples."

This skill also has a minimum range setting, which is novel; likely if the distance is too short, the Splendor Seeds would hit the user, sucking them dry.

Translation: "This skill also has a minimum range setting, which is the first time I've seen; I estimate that if the distance is too short, the Splendor Seeds would hit oneself and absorb oneself to death."

Xiao Feng likes this skill, but his class doesn't meet the requirements, so he can only leave it for the Blind Maiden.

Translation: "Xiao Feng really likes this skill, but his profession doesn't meet the requirements, so he can only leave it to Mang Mei."

The Blind Maiden hasn't reached fifth tier yet; she needs to break through her realm first.

Translation: "Mang Mei hasn't reached the 5th Transformation yet; she needs to break through her realm first."

Since he cannot learn Divine Punishment, Xiao Feng turns to look at the legendary skills.

Translation: "Divine Punishment cannot be learned, so Xiao Feng went to look at Legendary (skills)."

Among the three legendary skill books, one is usable by him.

Translation: "Among the three Legendary skill books, one of them is usable by him."

As a lightning forbidden curse for his class, its damage is actually not high—only half of the Meteor Technique's panel.

Translation: "As a Thunder-system Forbidden Spell of this profession, its damage is actually not high—only half of the Meteor Technique's panel."

However, it carries a buff state that can double the damage of the next lightning skill!

Translation: "But it comes with a buff state that can double the damage of the next Thunder-system skill!"

If one first uses Hand of the Thunder God and then follows with a lightning destruction incantation, just how terrifying would the damage be…?

Translation: "If one first uses Hand of the Thunder God to strike, then follows with a Thunder-system Destruction Incantation, just how terrifying would the damage be…?"

Xiao Feng dares not imagine!

Translation: "Xiao Feng dares not imagine!"

On the table there are still two legendary skill books left; one is for warriors, named Split God, an ultra-strong single-target skill dealing 3500% damage.

Translation: "On the table there are still two Legendary skill books left; one is for warriors, named 【Split God】, a super-strong single-target skill with 3500% damage."

Skill, suitable for Zhang Fan.

Translation: "Skill, suitable for Zhang Fan."

The other is a priest's large-area damage skill Soul Furnace.

Translation: "The other is a priest's large-area group damage skill 【Soul Furnace】."

Lucky Cat already has the Divine Punishment skill Fatal Sacrifice; damage skills are not lacking, so he plans to leave it for Li Li.

Translation: "Xing Yun Miao already has the Divine Punishment 【Fatal Sacrifice】; damage skills are not lacking, so he plans to leave it to Li Li."

Regarding super artifacts, five dropped this time, which is quite a lot.

Translation: "As for Super Divine Equipment, five pieces dropped this time, which is quite a lot."

Xiao Feng took a look; each item has excellent stats, and there also appeared a mage-exclusive necklace and mage shoes.

Translation: "Xiao Feng took a look; each piece has excellent attributes, and there also appeared a Mage-profession-exclusive necklace and Mage shoes."

However, his necklace has the Otherworldly Banishment effect, and his shoes have the Weather Attraction effect—both are bottom-of-the-box divine techniques, and he is reluctant to replace them.

Translation: "But his necklace has the 【Otherworld Banishment】 effect, and his shoes have the 【Weather Attraction】 effect; both are bottom-of-the-box divine techniques, and he is reluctant to replace them."

The other three items: one is an assassin weapon usable only by followers of the Hundred Flowers Temple, similar to Lucky Cat's Moonlight Magic Pearl, with very considerable damage, but lacking assassin teammates, it cannot be put to use.

Translation: "Of the remaining three pieces, one is an assassin weapon usable only by followers of the Hundred Flowers Divine Temple, similar to Xing Yun Miao's Moonlight Magic Pearl, with very considerable damage, but without assassin teammates it cannot be put to use."

There is also a special equipment 【Space Divine Ring】; its basic stats are garbage, but it can store 1000 items; it is auxiliary equipment.

It doesn't need to be worn all the time; just equip it when needed, and normally just toss it into the backpack—it's like a backpack within a backpack, a powerful nesting doll!

Xiao Feng had always felt his backpack wasn't big enough; this artifact also counts as having resolved one worry.

The final piece of super mythic gear is the armor glove for archers and assassins; its stats aren't high, but it can increase charging speed (the chant for physical classes), and it's also quite useful.

Among the spoils there are also two super mythic scrolls.

One is the 【Thunderbolt Annihilation Scroll】, a pure damage effect; its power doesn't match Xiao Feng's own Earthquake Technique, so it's not very significant.

The other is the 【Summon Divine Spirit Scroll】, which can summon a lesser god to assist in battle for 10 minutes; it's probably the same kind He Er Na encountered in Thunder City before, and its effect is still quite strong.

A box of 【Divine Power Crystals】 dropped by the Giant Wood Divine Envoy is also good stuff; it's used to replenish divine source power for god-level powerhouses, similar to a mana potion, and it's just right for He Er Na.

And there's the Godhead!

The Godhead is also a huge harvest!

Although Xiao Feng's elemental perception is now strong enough that he no longer needs the Godhead for assistance, once he enters the demigod realm he can absorb the divine source power within the Godhead to speed up his cultivation and growth, and naturally the more Godheads the better.

Although this battle destroyed a Hundred Flowers City and caused heavy losses, his personal overall gain is still quite good.

After tallying the loot, Xiao Feng messaged his close friend to have Mang Mei come over, preparing to give her the items suitable for her.

This harvest can't be shared with everyone; only Zhang Fan, Li Li, and Mang Mei can get a share, so he plans to give them out one by one to avoid others feeling unbalanced.
