...

Success! Even with Invincible Luck activated, I still burned through 3 Level 8 barracks blueprints to spawn a Grandmaster in Architecture!

At this moment, Da Fei’s excitement could only be described as winning the lottery! Although Da Fei has never actually won it before, this might be what it feels like. This Master-level breakthrough came completely unexpectedly, Da Fei never even thought about challenging the Master-level Architecture Skill!

From the player experiences during the public test, it was evident that Lord System management skills were the most monotonous, tedious, and the hardest to breach into Master-level; most skills don’t even show a glimpse of Master-level achievement. The only way is to encounter a God-level NPC for a direct boost, such as with the Master-level Armed Forces Skill that troubled Da Fei.

Now, Da Fei has succeeded! Invincible Luck, God-level Navigation Skill, multiple high-grade construction blueprints, and of course, my own 20 points of intelligence which have never seemed useful, have suddenly helped me comprehend Master-level Architecture Skills even though I’ve never properly constructed a building myself! No player would have thought that an architecture skill could be related to navigation! It’s hard to imagine the game’s skills being so intricately interconnected!

And looking at this newly comprehended "Underwater Construction," Da Fei was both surprised and delighted. Stamina speed increased by 10%? Who would have thought that an architecture skill could have such a boost in combat?

Just as Da Fei was reveling in his joy, Hillsea’s voice rang out from the shore: "Master? Master?!"

Da Fei snapped back to reality, right! Time to start working! By the way, my comprehension also benefitted him a bit, do you see how awesome I am?

Da Fei surfaced, waved his hand: "Bring the materials, let’s start!"

"Got it!" Then, the Lilim Artillery Emperor Angel Army, who had long been waiting by the shore, all jumped enthusiastically into the water with stone bricks, causing waves and splashes everywhere.

At this moment, Hillsea excitedly said: "As expected of Master, your success benefits me greatly as well! I will learn wholeheartedly from Master!"

Meanwhile, applause also came from the Wine Pool where the three elders were: "Warrior, you’re creating miracles wherever you go! Keep it up!"

Da Fei laughed heartily! This is the thrill I was after, this is the effect I wanted! Especially when faced with challenges, being able to comprehend a Master-level skill to boost motivation feels all the more satisfying.

Now, Da Fei just needed to float quietly underwater and watch his troops work. The insight into Master-level Architecture Skills made Da Fei recall the blueprint in the maze; isn’t that supposed to be a God-level blueprint? From the instance prompt, Master-level could also be used, it’s just considered inferior, right?

But there’s still the issue: once I get that blueprint, where should the maze be built? On the ship for anti-air defense? There’s not enough space for that size, right? With such a massive effort as a maze, even saying there’s no space isn’t enough; even Radiant City or Lighthouse City doesn’t seem to have enough room, right? Or maybe build in the New World on a spacious plot? That’s not viable either, I’m searching all over for the Goddess’ Tears; who has time for management? Plus, with so many grudges against me, if I dare to build a city in the New World, who knows how many countries would come attacking day and night?

Perhaps it must indeed be built on the ship? Right now, the space on the ship is limited, but in the future, it might expand to the scale of the World Tree Space, who knows?

Just as Da Fei was pondering and planning for the future, another friend message rang; it was Yanran’s smile again.

Yanran’s smile: "Brother Fei, guild members discovered something strange. From the time this Big V started fishing to now, it’s been over half an hour, and not a single one of the 30 people caught anything, but Big V keeps catching fish. Brother Hao is asking what Brother Fei wants to do next?"

Da Fei was suddenly taken aback: "That amazing? Did this Big V do something tricky?"

Yanran’s smile sighed: "Even though everyone knows he’s cheating, you can’t really argue with that, can you?"

Damn it! Does this need any discussion? Da Fei exclaimed angrily: "Then make sure he can’t fish either! Everyone go bathe in the pool, swim, and create a scene."

Yanran’s smile couldn’t help but chuckle: "Understood! By the way, there are many small Royal Family accounts in Red Name Village looking for opportunities to cause trouble. Shouldn’t we let them handle things like this?"

Da Fei laughed: "Sure, tell someone to convey the message to them."

"Got it."

After ending the conversation, Da Fei gnashed his teeth with a sardonic smile! Going against me? Let me show you my limits!

Just then, a series of system prompts chimed with a ding-dong sound:

——System Prompt: Your sailing time exceeded 4 days, you and your team heroes gained God-level Navigator Skill "Sailing Training" extra Experience +860,000, your team additionally gained growth potential!

Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed and burst into laughter! They really did comprehend Mushroom Breeding! And comprehension is not the goal; it’s for growth. This is much like the seemingly unrelated sailing skills and angel studies from before, and now that the seemingly smartest ones have understood it, it won’t be long before everyone else does too!

Sure enough, Alina came over with a smiling report: "Lord, we did not disappoint you. Some units have successfully comprehended Mushroom Breeding. I believe as we grow the Mushroom Garden, more and more units will comprehend it."

Da Fei laughed heartily: "Good, keep it up. In the future, never miss any trades that involve digging soil and fertilizing!"

Indeed, I’m not cultivating soil, nor just mushrooms; I’m cultivating talent! Wahahaha... (To be continued.
