The central region of the Land of Death.
Chu Fu was bathed in a torrent of divine power.
【You have completed a glorious battle and made an immense contribution!
【Your hidden class, Seed of Calamity, has evolved into the unique class: God of Calamity.】
【The overview of divine-class skills has been unlocked for you. May you embark upon the true path to godhood.】
For a moment, Chu Fu felt as though enlightenment had struck her.
A divine class was naturally different from all other classes.
For one thing, learning new skills no longer required her to seek out a Command Crystal. Divine classes were created by their users themselves.
Just like Xie Lin, she could create her own skills.
She could even make her words law.
Of course, she did not have to create new skills if she did not want to. She could continuously strengthen and modify them instead!
Chu Fu’s God of Calamity class could be divided into two skill trees: the Catastrophe branch and the Misfortune branch.
These branches represented different paths to godhood. Chu Fu had two paths available to her.
In that respect, if the Seed of Nature Spirits evolved into a divine class, it would likewise possess two branches: Summoning and Nature.
Others had only one path. Chu Fu had four.
If she wasn’t powerful, then who was?
【System Notification: The player has thwarted the conspiracy of the God of the Undead within the Source of the Undead Calamity (Origin). The Primordial Gate has acquired the authority of the God of the Undead.
The divine power acquired can be converted into a dungeon: Counter-Invasion of the Land of the Undead. Please select a location for deployment!
The divine power acquired has lifted the ownership restrictions on the Lich Tower. You may obtain an Epic building, the Lich Tower (Damaged). Please select a location for deployment!】
When Chu Fu saw the second system notification, her eyes immediately locked onto the words “Epic” and “Lich Tower.”
An Epic Lich Tower?
Wait!
The Lich Tower was still sitting in a pool of poison!
My Lich Tower!
Chu Fu immediately took out a bottle and absorbed all the poison from the pool.
“Ah! My Lich Tower!”
Chu Fu gazed at the black tower in heartache.
The bottom three floors had been invaded by the poison and corroded until only several enormous pillars remained.
The black tower was on the verge of collapsing.
That wasn’t all. A massive three-meter-wide crack ran through the tower, from which black smoke poured.
The Lich Tower could not be placed inside her backpack either, but this was precisely where the system’s divine power came into play.
Within Thorny City, Chu Fu selected a location and deployed the Lich Tower. From now on, this would be the job-transfer hall for necromancers.
She then deployed the dungeon beside it, putting the dungeon plaza and the job-transfer hall side by side. With a few shops built around them and rented out, it would be perfect.
Once everything had been arranged, the Lich Tower suddenly rose from the ground and vanished into a black hole.
Xie Lin was startled.
“What happened? Where did the tower go? That tower should be our spoils of war, right?
“There must be plenty of good stuff inside.
“The tower’s material is pretty impressive too. I only managed to cut a three-meter-long gash in it with one slash.
“My sword can split a mountain in two now.
“We have to dismantle the whole tower and take it back with us.”
Chu Fu shot Xie Lin a glance.
“That won’t be necessary. The entire tower belongs to us now.”
Xie Lin seemed to realize something. He awkwardly rubbed his nose.
“Ha… ha! It’s all my fault. I got carried away and didn’t hold back. Why didn’t the system say anything sooner?
“Look at this—I damaged public property!”
Xie Lin took the blame without hesitation.
Chu Fu had been feeling a little guilty about using too much force herself, but with Xie Lin sharing the blame, she actually felt a little better.
“It wasn’t Sword Saint Brother’s fault alone. I attacked too. It’s fine. We can just repair it!”
At that moment, Shen Chi also arrived at the scene. Using a suction machine, he vacuumed up every piece of equipment and fragment of bone scattered across the ground.
The main force had also arrived.
The dungeon had come to a complete end, and everyone could now return.
This time, they did not even need to use Spatial Stones to set up a return formation. That would only have wasted them.
Chu Fu opened a Nature Spirit Passage, and everyone entered it, returning to Thorny City.
At the same time, a global announcement rang out.
【System Announcement! Congratulations to the player “Who Wants to Be a Vegetable?” for leading the Thorny Guild and its players to clear the Origin-level dungeon: Source of the Undead Calamity (Origin)! Rewards: +100 to all attributes as the first-clear reward, and +1 level.】
【System Announcement! Thorny City has successfully defended itself against the assault of the God of the Undead! Furthermore, it achieved a perfect defense. Rewards have been doubled: all players receive +10 to all attributes instead of the original +5.】
【System Announcement! As the first city to successfully complete a defense, Thorny City’s size has been increased by an additional 100%, and resource points have been added around the city.】
Previously, the announcements for defending villages and towns had only been server-wide.
This time, the announcement was global.
The announcement regarding the city’s successful defense was global as well.
And as the first city to successfully defend itself, Thorny City had even received a size increase.
This increase did not simply mean that its area had doubled.
The city had originally been ten kilometers long on each side. Now, each side measured twenty kilometers!
Its total area was four times larger than before.
One had to understand that even the central urban area of Linjiang City covered only about twenty kilometers.
If Wangxi Manor were used as the center and the expansion continued beyond Linjiang City, it would even reach Cangsong City.
Of course, that was the situation in the real world.
In the game, the land was unimaginably vast.
After the game’s true invasion began, the land had expanded a hundredfold. A city twenty kilometers on each side was merely a somewhat larger sanctuary.
Most of the world still consisted of monsters, mutated plants, and dangerous wilderness.
Chu Fu opened the Contribution Shop to see if it held any surprises for her.
【City Upgrade Blueprint: Upgrades a max-level town into a city. It can also be used on a city, but can only increase the city’s boundary by one kilometer on each side.
Price: 10 billion Contribution Points.】
“Classmate Chu! Classmate Chu!”
Laoji Fuli and Li Weizheng hurried over, their faces full of anxiety.
The instant they saw the contents of the Contribution Shop, they understood that they absolutely had to obtain this City Upgrade Blueprint.
But they did not have enough Contribution Points!
Only seven waves had appeared during the city defense battle, producing a total of 700 million monsters and 16.8 billion Contribution Points. Chu Fu had claimed half of them.
The Thorny Guild had obtained 80% of the contribution rewards.
There were simply too many talented members in the Thorny Guild. The Military Soul Guild could not seize any contribution points from them at all.
But this blueprint was far too important.
Laoji Fuli began, “Classmate Chu… No, City Lord Chu, would you be interested in acquiring a share of Military Soul City in the future?”
“We’ll exchange shares in Military Soul City for the City Upgrade Blueprint. How does that sound?”
Asking to buy it with gold would have been impossible for Laoji Fuli.
Who would they take her for—a fool?
Could gold really buy something this important?
This was an entire city.
Moreover, according to the information Laoji Fuli had obtained, Chu Fu’s subordinate, Eighteen Stabs, who had secured the first clear of the Level 10 Origin-level dungeon, also had the authority to upgrade a novice village.
The other player had been a member of the Thorny Workshop from the very beginning, and 20% of everything he obtained belonged to the guild.
If they invested through Eighteen Stabs and provided the blueprint to upgrade a village into a town, establishing a new city would not be impossible.
Therefore, after discussing the matter, Laoji Fuli and Li Weizheng had chosen without hesitation to sell shares in exchange for this City Upgrade Blueprint!
The only question was whether Chu Fu would agree.
