God-level Hero

When Da Fei woke up with a laugh, it was already one in the afternoon. He had slept a full 3 hours! The first thing Da Fei did was check the system messages:

—System Prompt: Your sailing time has exceeded 6 days... Your team has gained additional growth potential! You have received information on "Mushroom Breeding Technique", and your Vice Hero Alina has received information on "Advanced Mushroom Breeding".

—System Prompt: Your follower hero Savara comprehended the incomplete skill "Basic Aviation Skill" through the Soul Contract, gaining growth, with Knowledge +10, Life +100, Mana +100.

—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia’s Contract Angel Elifel gained insights into "Fluid Mechanics", and the special skill "Flying Creature" upgraded to "Rapid Flying Creature". Elifel has grown, with Life +200, Stamina +20.

Life +1000, Mana +1000, Attack +10, Defense +20, Damage +10, gaining the Creation Angel skill "Resurrection". You receive attribute bonuses from the Contract Angel, with Attack +10, Defense +10, Life +200, Mana +100.

—System Prompt: Congratulations! Your 21 Leader-level Shadow Witch Army, 12 Leader-level Bloody Girl Army, and 8 Leader-level Shadow Scout Units have comprehended the "Basic Mushroom Breeding" skill! The army has grown...

—System Prompt: Your Shadow Bat Barracks construction is complete!

—System Prompt: Modification and repair of your Flying’s cannon cabin is complete, granting the God-level building special skill "World Tree Fortress Space"!

World Tree Fortress Space: Provides a fortress space with 300 free firing ports, space durability of 300,000, mana reserve value of 30,000, capable of self-repairing durability, mana value, and replenishing mana value. Long-range damage inflicted from the fortress is reduced by 50%, and each conventional arrow shot from the fortress consumes 1 point of the fortress’s mana.

...

Indeed, it’s not surprising that it’s a snowballing pace; the depth and breadth of the system messages every day never disappoint me! Savara and Elifel indeed comprehended the Aviation Skill because of me, and finally, Nerxia and Anvil have been promoted to Creation Angels. The good news is that all the Dark Elves have been promoted to Basic Mushroom Farmers, and if they have comprehended the basics, can the Master Level be far behind?

As for the final message about the completion of cannon cabin repairs—

Da Fei took a deep breath, adjusted his just-awake muddled state, then burst into loud laughter! Yes, what else could you do but laugh at this moment? Of course, it’s to go see how the God-level special skill of this cannon cabin works!

Da Fei eagerly dashed to the cannon cabin. When Da Fei opened the door, he was stunned by the scene before him!

The once crowded wooden cannon cabin filled with two rows of crossbow cannons and piled with miscellaneous items was gone. In its place was a spacious golden-green "glass hall". Beneath the glass floor, waves and fish swam by the ship’s bottom; around the glass walls, ships moved along the riverbank with bustling scenes at the docks, and above the glass ceiling, the floating airship balloon was distinctly visible! This was a completely transparent space that offered views all around and was ten times larger than the once narrow cannon cabin!

My cannon cabin has finally been spatially expanded!

At this moment, Tamilia, Catherine, Anlicia, and a group of kingdom-sent maintenance druid technicians were happily chatting in the space.

Upon seeing Da Fei appear, the three beauties excitedly greeted, "Lord City Lord (Captain), come and look at this amazing fortress space!"

The technicians also saluted, "Greetings, Warrior. We are waiting for you, Warrior, to explain the usage in detail!"

Da Fei immediately snapped back to his senses, excitedly stepping forward to ask, "Excuse me, masters, how do I use this space fortress?"

Anlicia laughed, "The masters have already taught us; let me demonstrate for the Lord City Lord—" Saying this, Anlicia drew out her longbow, aiming toward the river outside the "glass wall": "Lord City Lord, standing in this space is akin to standing in an open battlefield where you can freely shoot in all directions within sight!"

After speaking, she fired an arrow, which passed through the "glass wall" unobstructed and splashed into the river, creating a small wave!

Da Fei’s eyes widened!

Anlicia smiled, "You can also shoot vertically below the ship! This was impossible before!" With this, she shot another arrow at the glass floor below her, the arrow passing through the glass floor and disappearing, before splashing on the riverbed with a wave, startling a school of fish!

Da Fei’s jaw dropped! The ship’s bottom was previously a blind spot and dead corner for shooting, and now even the blind spot is gone. This fortress is truly amazing!

The Druid technician laughed, "You see, Warrior, this is the World Tree Fortress Space. Capable of accommodating 300 archers for long-range attacks at enemies from all directions, while enemies must utterly destroy the fortress’s 300,000 durability to attack us, and even before destroying it, they must first break through the outer armor of the cannon cabin. Moreover, in this space, you are unaffected by various negative effects of poison gas domains, making it extremely safe. It is a God-level fortress specifically designed for doomsday battles!"

Da Fei snapped back to reality: "So, the downside of the space is that the damage shot out is halved, and it requires Mana consumption?"

The Druid technician nodded: "Exactly, this is also the energy loss that conventional arrows must endure when crossing space. However, the Warrior’s gun cabin and the fortress space are already connected, and the Warrior’s gun cabin has 32 cannon firing holes, which are not counted among the 300 firing holes of the World Tree Fortress, so the damage of the crossbow cannon is not reduced, nor does its firing consume the space’s Mana value. That means the Warrior effectively has 332 firing holes."

Da Fei exclaimed with joy: "Great, originally the crossbow cannon doesn’t receive the attack and defense bonuses from the hero, and if the damage is halved, it would be useless."

Catherine laughed: "Captain, there’s even more important news. Now that the gun cabin is so spacious, the crossbow cannons in the cabin can be lined up on one side for concentrated firing!"

Da Fei was pleasantly surprised: "Indeed!"

Exactly, previously the gun cabin, although it claimed to have 32 cannon slots, actually had 16 cannons on each side. In battle, unless surrounded on all sides, only then could it be considered full firepower; otherwise, the other side’s 16 cannons couldn’t fully function. Now the fortress space is completely an open battlefield, no longer restricted by the positioning of the firing holes and can completely push all cannons to one side for concentrated firing! This completely doubles my cannon firepower!

The technician reminded: "Spacious space is not only prepared for troops and crossbow cannons, but also for using siege catapults. However, the catapult will be weakened by 50% damage, and the ammunition size is huge, not just consuming 1 point of Mana, 40 or 50 points are possible. And speaking of Mana consumption, there’s one point the Warrior must especially remember: although 30,000 Mana reserves seem like a lot, the fortress has 300 firing holes, and once the battle intensifies, the Mana will run out soon. Even if the fortress has self-healing Mana ability, it will still not be enough, so the Warrior must dispatch magic forces or heroes to recharge—"

At this point, the technician pointed at a shining golden array in the center of the hall: "This is the charging array, its usage is the same as the charging crystal, but the charging efficiency of this array is not high, 10 points of Mana are needed to replenish 1 point of space Mana."

Da Fei was amazed: "Why so low?"

The Druid technician replied: "Because this is a divine power space, the conversion rate of ordinary Mana is naturally low. However, if it’s converted with divine power value, then 1 point of divine power provides 10 points of Mana. The Warrior, having the monk profession, should of course know what divine power means."

So that’s it, but this monk here never does meditation, divine power value is 0, it seems that once regular professions are fully learned, I’ll have to specifically practice meditation.

Da Fei then asked: "Master, does this fortress space only have 300 firing holes? Can it be upgraded for more?"

The technician shook his head with a smile: "That’s a question we cannot answer, our role is just installation and operation. If the Warrior has no other questions, we shall take our leave. Meanwhile, relaying a command from the Military Department, after the repairs are complete, please have the airship flown to the World Tree Square in the capital within two days, at which time the Military Department will activate the power of the World Tree to teleport the Warrior for another expedition."

Da Fei nodded: "Understood, thank you to all the masters for your hard work!"

"Then, Warrior, farewell."

As soon as the Druid technicians left, Tamilia excitedly and eagerly said: "Lord City Lord, the question you just asked, I might be able to answer you, which is that the gun cabin can be upgraded! However, the premise is that the Holy Vine must completely parasitize and assimilate the power of the World Tree wood!"

Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed: "That’s possible?"

Tamilia enthusiastically replied: "Of course, the essence of the Holy Vine is a parasitic plant, assimilation is just a matter of time!"

Da Fei laughed heartily: "Great! What’s left then? Once we’re ready, let’s embark."

Anlicia smiled: "Of course, the brewery is not yet completed, and there’s also the food for Rami Village that Lord City Lord promised."

Da Fei laughed: "Alright, once everything’s ready!"

As for now, it’s time to hurry up and have lunch. It was only at this time that Da Fei noticed his friend messages flashing constantly. Upon checking, they were all from Yanran’s smile.

Da Fei chuckled with surprise after reading, who would’ve thought, in the time I went to the East and fought a national war, this little Ming classmate has accomplished so much, even becoming a village chief, not bad, I didn’t leave all those elite troops in vain to help him out.

In any case, matters between the younger brothers should be resolved privately, let’s do that, time to eat.
