Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 325: Chapter 255: Eco-Elite, Celestial Eagle Warrior (Part 2)

Zhang Weike was immediately enveloped by an immense, unseen force, his body lifting and floating in mid-air.

”To dare invade with such pathetic strength... you’re truly overconfident and clueless!”

Fish-Transformed Dragon shook his head gently. With a mere thought, his Gods and Ghosts Avoidance Inner Strength created a powerful, inwardly collapsing force field that instantly compressed Zhang Weike into a single mass.

Despite any ambitions Zhang Weike may have held, he was reduced to a flash of white light, and it all came to naught.

A few moments later, the Floating Cloud Boat ascended into the sky, with Jelena, Pei Xue, Nangong Jin, and the others standing upon it.

There were no Western Continent Players left on the Atlantis Ark. The colossal vessel was now a spoil of war.

A short while later, Lu Datong was brought aboard the Atlantis Ark. He went into the ark’s storage hold to inspect the princess’s dowry and soon breathed a sigh of relief.

Although a few Gold Coins were missing from the dowry, most of the goods were still there. More importantly, the most valuable Treasures were undamaged. The loss was acceptable.

’Those clueless Aliens got what they deserved. There’s always a bigger fish. Compared to the experts of Huaguo Mountain, I’m just an ant. If I stay here on Huaguo Mountain, could I also have a chance to go from Extraordinary to Saint?’

Lu Datong muttered to himself, thinking that he’d managed to save his own skin. He silently made a decision: he would stay on Huaguo Mountain no matter what, even if he had to be completely shameless about it. He wasn’t leaving!

’Commander of the Imperial Guard? To hell with that! I’ll do anything to stay on Huaguo Mountain, even if it means working in the Watch Factory. Settling down here is basically the same as joining an Immortal Sect...’

With this in mind, Lu Datong hurried off to find Pei Zhi and Yang Wanli and try to get on their good side.

They were the only ”superiors” he was relatively familiar with, and he hoped to use their connection to secure an opportunity to settle on Huaguo Mountain.

Meanwhile, Jelena, Nangong Jin, and the others weren’t particularly interested in the cargo aboard the Atlantis Ark, but they were quite taken with the ship itself.

However, since they weren’t Players, they couldn’t see the Atlantis Ark’s Attribute Information. After examining it for a while, they called Zhao Mei over.

Zhao Mei, who could see the Atlantis Ark’s Attribute Information, exclaimed in astonishment, ”This ship is incredible! It can carry ten thousand people, traverse the Starry Sky, has unlimited power, and can be upgraded later on. It even... it even has a Diving ability! We can use the ark to explore the deep sea! Come on, I’ll teach you how to pilot it...”

With Zhao Mei’s guidance, Jelena and the others quickly learned how to pilot the Atlantis Ark and became familiar with its functions.

A few hours later, Zhao Mei piloted the Atlantis Ark to Eggshell Square. She then organized a team to unload its cargo, officially taking possession of Princess Longyu’s dowry.

The dowry was stored separately in the Chaos Warehouse, awaiting Princess Longyu’s personal inventory.

The inventory of the supplies aboard the Atlantis Ark wasn’t completed until the following morning.

Zhang Weike and his subordinates had also dropped some items, though not many. Among them were three Green Blind Boxes and one Blue Blind Box, which Jelena set aside.

A day later, the Atlantis Ark was requisitioned by the military. With Yang Wanli and a contingent of the Brocade Guard aboard, it leisurely set off eastward, bound for the Ancient Barbarian Country to pick up the Refugees.

On the same day, the renovation of the Eco-Castle was completed.

The Eco-Castle was several times larger than the old Eggshell Castle. Connected to the ecological system, its rooms were warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The entire structure was much sturdier and possessed the unique abilities of self-cleaning, Automatic Repair, and natural growth.

Jelena hosted a celebratory banquet at the First Dining Hall, inviting all of Eggshell City’s administrative staff.

The completion of Eggshell Castle’s transformation was a major milestone in the development of Eggshell City. Henceforth, there would be no Eggshell Village, only Eggshell City.

The next day, the construction of Eggshell City began in earnest. Tens of thousands of laborers fanned out across the area. Some quarried stone from the mountains, others built city walls, while more repaired roads and dug canals. In short, all sorts of infrastructure projects were now in full swing.

「Time passed.」

One day, on the overseas Black Monkey Island, a flash of light flared within the High-Dimensional Divine Hall, and Wang Yi appeared.

”I’m back!”

A joyful expression spread across Wang Yi’s face. He had remained in the Molten Fire World until the system forcibly ejected him. He had successfully performed the Refinement of Fire Jade Mountain and collected nearly five tons of Earth Fire Source Liquid.

Five tons of Earth Fire Source Liquid, if used as fuel, would be equivalent to one billion tons of 98-octane gasoline.

’This five tons of Earth Fire Source Liquid... My territory probably couldn’t use it all up in several hundred years...’

Wang Yi was in an excellent mood. The only pity was that his descent mission had failed.

Wang Yi had taken a ”go with the flow” approach to the descent mission from the start, so he wasn’t bothered that he hadn’t completed it.

Next, instead of hurrying back to the city, Wang Yi decided to explore Black Monkey Island for a while.

The island had a resource node called the Spirit Pearl Cave, which produced Earth Spirit Pearls and Water Spirit Pearls. It could yield up to fifty pearls a day, but they had to be gathered manually.

Earth Spirit Pearls and Water Spirit Pearls were Cultivation Items, natural Magical Treasures that could be used as high-grade Spirit Stones or for Artifact Refining.

The Spirit Pearl Cave was located on a small, earthen hill, which was also home to many Crown Banana and Ice Crystal Coconut trees.

Wang Yi considered Crown Bananas and Ice Crystal Coconuts to be rather decent fruits, so he simply went ahead and Refined the entire hill.

’If I move this small hill to my territory, the banana and coconut trees will definitely survive. I just wonder what will happen to the Spirit Pearl Cave resource node...’

Thinking this, Wang Yi returned to the central hill and Refined it as well.

That hill also had Ice Crystal Coconut and Crown Banana trees, but Wang Yi didn’t Refine it for the fruit. He was after the High-Dimensional Divine Hall that stood upon it.
