Folklore: Pre-emptive shelter begins with the stomach.

However, this secret scroll also records other matters besides the matters related to the investiture.

Jiangxuan Village, which had been struggling to survive, finally succumbed to the pressure of the second-tier calamity yesterday and was completely destroyed.

The remaining forces have retreated to Huanjiang Town.

Feng Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

Now that Jiangxuan Village has been destroyed, who will be the next target of this calamity?

Compared to other villages, Jiangbai Village is closest to the destroyed Jiangxuan Village.

Just as Feng Mo was pondering this, he looked at the next item on the secret scroll.

Beneath the walls of Shanhai City, the scions of various powerful families are on their way to the Huanjiang River basin in Chang'an County.

The trial is expected to begin in three days.

The content of the competition is:

Only the sixteen who survive the perilous disaster to the very end will be granted the title of guardian.

During these three days, the dispatched troops will first stabilize the disaster and reduce its impact on the surrounding areas.

This naturally also takes into account the issue of casualties among the scions of aristocratic families.

After the trial begins,

The military will gradually reduce its efforts to contain the calamities, until finally all restrictions are lifted.

After reading the contents, Feng Mo slowly nodded.

Does this mean that someone is helping me share the burden of the second-tier calamity?

The city governs four counties, and the scions of prominent families from those four counties are willing to be the suckers—this is a good thing he never dared to dream of.

After reading this intelligence, Feng Mo had only one thought in his mind: Now he can develop peacefully again!

This sergeant is a real lifesaver!

"Everyone, disperse and go do what you were doing."

The crisis in Jiangbai Village had passed, and Feng Mo then dismissed everyone.

Huang Lao Er continued to work on the gray fish habitat, while Feng Mo gave Tang Ren some Qi Xue Hui Mai (a type of wheat) to help him nourish his body.

This time, Feng Mo deliberately took more.

These days, Feng Mo has been taking Qi Xue Hui Mai (a traditional Chinese medicine).

He found,

If taken for a long time, the burning sensation caused by Qi Xue Hui Mai will gradually lessen.

Conversely, its effect on restoring qi and blood will be greatly reduced.

This is mainly because the body has gradually adapted to the medicinal properties of Qi and Blood Ash Wheat.

Therefore, the more Qi and Blood Ash Wheat you eat, the less effective it will be.

Feng Mo shook his head helplessly.

In this way, the Qi and Blood Ash Wheat could never replace the core position of the Spirit Stone.

Spirit stones have a wealth of entries to utilize, are mild in nature, and their efficacy does not decrease with repeated use.

……

Feng Mo returned to his stomach.

The goal of one hundred buildings has now been achieved, and the conditions for upgrading the main research project have also been met.

As Feng Mo walked to the front of the research center, the five-colored books on the bookshelf suddenly moved without any wind.

Advance payment!

"Research at Level 2, completed ahead of schedule!"

"Upgrade complete!"

"All your Tier 1 basic buildings in the Mortal God Loans have been upgraded to Tier 2! And the basic buildings in the Mortal God Loans will be based on Tier 2 buildings."

"At the same time, items or buildings that are upgraded independently will unlock a second-tier upgrade path."

"Future ruler of the mortal world, you have taken your first step, the greatest step you can take to become the ruler of the mortal world!"

Feng Mo was taken aback.

What does that mean?

What does it mean that all the basic buildings in the "Shan Dai" (a game) have been upgraded to Tier 2?

He looked around and instantly saw the changes in his surroundings.

The original Tier 1 arrow tower with its small wooden shed is gone, replaced by a brand new arrow tower with a more exquisite wooden roof, which is taller than the original one, and runes flow continuously on the tower body.

Even wooden traps have undergone a complete transformation.

"Wooden Rune Trap (Tier 2): Provides even greater destructive power; triggering the trap will unleash 'Runic Tide'."

"Rune Tide: When triggered, it deals devastating damage to any unseen creature within a 3-meter radius."

"Wow!"

Feng Mo was immediately overjoyed.

He thought that after unlocking the second-tier building research, he would still need to make advance payments for upgrades one by one.

Now let's look at it.

There's absolutely no need for that!

Moreover, the effect provided by this second-order trap exceeded his expectations.

Rune Tide, just the name sounds incredibly powerful!

Now that the traps have been upgraded from Tier 1 to Tier 2, the problem of traps' AOE damage has been solved.

Feng Mo then walked to the arrow tower to inspect the upgraded second-tier city wall.

"Number of times he could withstand a beating: 893/2000"

"City Wall (Tier 2): Based on the solidity of Tier 1 city walls, its solidity and durability are further improved;

The material has been upgraded to a stone-mixed material, which has better conductivity for runes and applies a "taunt" effect to incoming enemies;

Furthermore, walkways have been built along the city walls to facilitate better defense against enemies!

"Taunt: Become the priority target of all Tier 2 Mysteries within a 3-meter radius."

This is the new effect brought about by the second-tier city wall.

After the last strange disaster.

This upgraded city wall had already reached the required number of hits and was upgraded to the second tier before the second-tier technology was unlocked.

Feng Mo had overlooked this before.

Today, the city wall is entirely black and cold-toned, interspersed with streaks of filthy blood.

When you get close, you can smell a fishy stench.

It's as if flesh and blood were mixed into the original stone material and poured together.

Feng Mo didn't care about these details.

Better defense is all that matters.

Furthermore, the city walls unlock additional abilities.

This is equivalent to adding a mocking term to the existing term list.

This effect is like the outer wall of his stomach temple, a simplified mini version.

After all, the mocking words on the outer walls of the Five Internal Organs Temple have no restrictions on the strange rank.

These earth-shattering changes naturally caused quite a stir in people's stomachs.

Whether servants or soldiers, their faces were filled with disbelief.

In their eyes, this was a miracle that only a god could accomplish!

Huang Lao Er even contacted Feng Mo through a communication talisman to inquire about the specific situation.

Only after confirming that it was the temple master's doing did he breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to appease his subordinates.

As for the excuses given to outsiders, Feng Mo attributed them all to the deceased secular ruler.

Upon hearing this, Huang Lao Er's admiration for Feng Mo and his passion for the path of the faded became even stronger.

Feng Mo took stock of his basic buildings.

In addition to arrow towers, walls, and traps, there is now a vision tower.

In that case, the Vision Tower must have already been upgraded to Tier 2.

Feng Mo walked to the observation tower outside the wall to examine the specific changes.

Sure enough, it also ushered in a qualitative leap.

The field of vision alone has increased from one kilometer to three kilometers!

In an instant, the entire Jiangbai Village came into view.

Feng Mo closed his eyes, and he could see everything about Jiangbai Village and its surroundings at a glance.

"exaggerate!"

Although it doesn't unlock any additional effects, the three-fold increase in vision alone makes the Vision Tower terrifying enough.

It was only then that Feng Mo understood.

When the imperial army besieged the city, why did Tang Ren's divination result indicate a minor auspiciousness?

Even if Ta Xue Yun Shu hadn't arrived at that time,

Thanks to the qualitative change brought about by this comprehensive building upgrade, even the stomach can now compete.

Feng Mo walked to the attack speed arrow tower.

The current arrow towers have stacked their attack speed to a terrifying number: seven hundred stacks!

The original layers did not disappear after the building was upgraded.

The base stats of a Tier 1 arrow tower are incomparable to those of a Tier 2 arrow tower.

The base attack speed of a Tier 2 arrow tower is twice that of a Tier 1 tower!

In this way, the attack speed of the attack speed arrow tower has reached an alarming level!

When the strange phenomenon strikes again, the attack speed arrow towers will probably be flying high!

Other than that,

Those items and buildings that have been upgraded automatically have also unlocked the second-tier upgrade path.

Feng Mo glanced at the spiritual herbs on the ground and silently prayed.

Advance payment!

"Spirit Herb (Tier 2): It possesses even stronger vitality and extremely high resistance to strange phenomena!"

"Repayment condition: Sing a love song."

Feng Mo raised an eyebrow.

"..."

The first time I requested the herb in advance, I asked him to sing a song.

Now look what's happened, they've made him sing a love song.

He discovered that the conditions for advance payment for crops were increasingly bizarre.

He initially had a lukewarm attitude towards spiritual herbs, but after experiencing their benefits, his previous resentment had long since vanished.

Sing, why not sing?
