Shen Chi had agreed far too readily, which instead made Chu Fu feel a little embarrassed.
After all, this was an incredibly powerful ability. It felt as though she had interfered with Wheelchair Brother’s life!
Unfortunately, no powerful mechanics had ever appeared in the storyline, and there had never been any introduction to this Talent Trait 5.
But Chu Fu quickly figured everything out.
“Just because you don’t need it for the time being doesn’t mean you’ll never need it. You have a second talent now, too. [Primordial Gate] isn’t the kind of game that deliberately prevents players from becoming invincible. The previous game developers weakened whoever was too strong, but [Primordial Gate] favors whoever is strong.
“Perhaps your Trait also needs Metal Manipulation to support it. Once you upgrade Metal Manipulation to S-rank later, there will definitely be some changes!”
Shen Chi was thoughtful as well, but they had no chance to try it this time.
“We’ve already used up all the Talent Stones!”
“That’s fine. Don’t we still have Server 0178888? We’ll just have to wait eight more days!” Chu Fu said.
Naturally, they couldn’t stay in Fengdu Town for eight days.
Everyone’s level had already reached 25, so they could head to Linjiang City and enter the new dungeon.
Besides…
They couldn’t fight the siege battle for Server 017.
But they could fight the one for Server 030!
“As long as ten thousand players on our server reach Level 20, we’ll be able to unlock the town defense battle! It might even happen faster than on Server 017.”
After all, there were simply too many people on their server.
The more players there were, the more people would run dungeons.
At present, within the Thorn Guild alone, there were seven hundred regular teams running Hell-grade dungeons every day. They produced seven hundred pieces of Gold equipment daily, and with twenty percent of the earnings turned in each day, that amounted to seven or eight hundred gold coins.
At this rate, it would only take three or four days for a large number of players to reach Level 20.
Jiaojiao Bu Jiao and the others had also stopped forcibly purchasing Contribution Points. After all, this server was officially managed by Laoji Fuli. They had to leave some Contribution Points for their own development; otherwise, all the resources would be taken by the Thorn Guild.
Chu Fu said, “I purchased a Village-to-Town Upgrade Blueprint. I’ll use it first. You can sort through the loot, and afterward we’ll all head to Linjiang City and run the dungeon!”
She took out the [Village-to-Town Upgrade Blueprint] and clicked Use.
[System Notification: Please select the village you wish to upgrade.]
Aside from Wangxi Village, there was another village under the jurisdiction of Huaishu Town.
Chu Fu naturally chose Wangxi Village.
[System Notification: Please select the area to be expanded.]
Chu Fu marked out the expansion area, placing the Thorn Guild at the center of the town. In the future, this location would become a truly prosperous district.
Furthermore, if the town were attacked, the guild would be the last place to suffer damage!
[System Notification: Once the area is confirmed, it cannot be changed. Do you wish to establish the new town with this area?]
“Yes!”
[System Notification: Please name the town.]
“Thorn Town.”
[System Notification: A system announcement is about to be issued. Do you wish to hide your name?]
“No!”
After a series of notifications appeared and Chu Fu responded to each one, the process of upgrading the village into a town was finally complete.
[System Announcement: Congratulations to player “Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?” for using the “Village-to-Town Upgrade Blueprint” to promote Wangxi Village to Thorn Town.
Player “Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?” has become the town mayor. All attributes +100.]
As the system announcement appeared, Wangxi Village underwent earth-shaking changes.
The ground began to tremble—not violently, but with a slow, continuous sense of expansion.
To the players’ astonishment, the red-eyed rabbits outside the village began fleeing in a frenzy. Before everyone’s eyes, the safe zone surrounding the starter village expanded.
A town measuring 2,000 by 2,000 meters emerged.
The enormous starter village had now become a town.
[System Notification: The town has been upgraded. Construction quests may now be issued.]
Chu Fu discovered that a new section had appeared on her attribute panel.

Position: Mayor of Thorn Town (Click here to enter the management page).]
Chu Fu clicked on it and discovered that she could appoint deputy mayors.
There were two available positions.
Chu Fu selected two people from her friends list.
[You have appointed “Jiaojiao Bu Jiao” as deputy mayor of Fengdu Town. Delegated permissions: economic development, shop leasing, tax management.]
[You have appointed “Commander Feng Huimin” as deputy mayor of Fengdu Town. Delegated permissions: construction planning, NPC recruitment, resource-point mining.]
[Awaiting the other party’s approval.]
How could they possibly refuse?
Jiaojiao Bu Jiao was the first to accept. She even sent Chu Fu a private message, shouting excitedly.
“Plant Girl, you’re making me a deputy mayor? But you could handle the development yourself, and you have Feng Huimin to help you!”
Chu Fu said with a smile, “Haven’t you been short on money lately? The new town needs to develop its economy. Do a good job, and I’ll give you a five-percent share of the profits.”
This time, Jiaojiao Bu Jiao was genuinely moved.
After the Flower Kingdom announced the special nature of [Primordial Gate], the financial system had begun to collapse. The impact on her was undoubtedly enormous.
Once she lost her identity as a rich heiress, and with Lu An—a substitute MT with an S-rank talent—joining the team, Jiaojiao Bu Jiao had gradually lost her confidence.
But Chu Fu’s appointment instantly made her stand tall again.
She was a graduate of a world-renowned university and an expert in finance.
If her scumbag father hadn’t kept suppressing her, and if she hadn’t been unwilling to simply hand his company over to someone else, she would have established her own business long ago.
Entering the game and investing her entire fortune in the Thorn Guild had been the most correct decision she had ever made.
Of course, the even better decision had been meeting Chu Fu and becoming her friend.
She would definitely demonstrate her business talents and help Chu Fu manage the town.
Meanwhile, Commander Feng Huimin had also received the notification and clicked Accept.
She had entered Wangxi Village only six days ago.
Yet in that short time, she had already gone from Level 0 to Level 10.
In Wangxi Village, she had experienced a completely different kind of gameplay.
