Chapter 1012 - 104: Surprise—The Relocation of Sword Casting Manor
Ancient Tomb.
In the Immortal Venerate Palace, players on this frontline are still clearing the dungeon.
Another mortal NPC was brought over by Kong Jinghong, witnessing the awe-inspiring opening scene and shouting the name of the Immortal Venerate.
After a few days of dungeon procedure.
Blacksmiths found that NPCs who don’t believe them are getting fewer and fewer, almost immediately believing they’re the Immortal Venerate returned.
The reasons are twofold.
1. After repeated failures in acting, summarizing flaws, the blacksmiths have improved their acting skills, steadily fooling the incoming mortals.
2. The bandwagon effect.
It’s basically a one-brings-one entry model, this neighbor tricked in, then tricked the neighbor he knows across the street.
So, surrounding neighbors and friends all think the Immortal Venerate has returned, and naturally they believe too.
In fact, most commoners have only moderate cultivation among mortals.
They are just ordinary cultivators living in urban areas, with no ambition and not much knowledge.
Speak to them and they’ll believe, following "country" orders, joining this large group, even moving to Sword Casting Manor to live.
"Ah, it’s so annoying."
In the Immortal Venerate Palace, the Food God sat on a medical hall’s rooftop looking down:
"Recently, more and more people believe, no one says we’re fakes, and fights us."
"Uh, about fights, doesn’t the manor have a ranking competition now?" Shao Chaikun was a bit speechless, "Fighting the village folk below the manor is the same."
"You don’t understand, there’s no dungeon flavor." The Food God looked serious.
"Speaking of which, us not managing the cafeteria, is it really fine?" Shao Chaikun complained.
The Food God looked straight: "With our two Embers, the vegetable washing machine, the noodle slicer machine, stationed in the cafeteria kitchen management, how can anything go wrong?"
"We could have been on auto-pilot long ago."
The Food God ordered from Daojiu, making their Embers two kitchen machines.
Thus, freeing their hands!
Playing farming management games, in the late stage, often equipped with automatic harvesters, automatic seeders, automatic sellers, isn’t it just to idle and wait for money?
Furthermore.
They have the new real Food God: Chongshan Fang.
This makes the two of them seem like rubbish in culinary skills, with this real chef cooking at the manor.
They are now out leading the dungeon team.
After all.
The other area leaders have serious tasks, like Daojiu crafting, Mudworker farming...
Currently.
These two have been responsible for this dungeon for a week, and the strategy progress is satisfactory.
Moreover, just yesterday, there was an explosive geometric boost.
Every day, more than six thousand NPCs enter!
This number is really stunning, even describable as scary, the number unimaginably large.
Why?
Because they discovered the person-to-person transmission phenomenon.
The tricked-in NPCs have risen exponentially.
Let the 1000 tricked-in NPCs go outside and fight fellow mortals in realm, yielding 50% Embers, and then bringing back 1000 more.
As their numbers increase, the Embers they bring back increase.
They’ve already sent several batches to the villages below the manor.
According to their big data collection, the entire tomb world is very large, comparable in size to the Nine-State world.
But seemingly after a great war, the population may be only a few million left, already extinct by 99.9%.
But these millions of people yielding 50% Embers, means, their manor below will have a circular town with more than a million population.
A million-population village-town actually has great potential!
Their average realm isn’t low, around the Three Elements Realm.
There are quite a few in One Heart Realm and Self-Transformation Realm too.
This batch of people, with slight training and some convincing, can establish various Golden Core production line factories below the manor.
As Embers, their intelligence isn’t high.
But Golden Core machinery production line factories only need ordinary operators, which they can fulfill.
Blacksmiths can foresee that their Sword Casting Manor will completely take off!
A Golden Core factory with a million workers!
And the factory banners and slogans are already planned:
[If you don’t work, I don’t work, how will the Immortal Venerate rebuild Kong Country?]
[If Kong Country doesn’t rise again, eggs won’t remain intact under a collapsed nest, either charge forward or die on the road, rebuilding a home for your children!]
[Prioritize courage to create Kong Country’s new future!]
...
Population is power, is foundation!
This batch of people needs civilization accumulation to acquire assets.
But now?
Sword Casting Manor has leapfrogged the civilization time accumulation, gaining a group of loyal citizens.
Embers, awesome!
This awesome is meaningful in many ways, truly terrifyingly strong!
A group of blacksmiths crazily discussing on the Forum, find that after entering the Immortal Realm, the value of Embers is skyrocketing, allowing them to quickly skip the transition period of foundation accumulation.
Just then.
As NPCs are brought in one by one, a blacksmith suddenly comes over to deliver a message in the combat arena.
The Food God was directly stunned when he heard this, "In this batch of mortal embers, we actually hooked a big catch. We need to invite the old steward over."
"What big catch?" Shao Chaikun leaned in curiously.
The Food God didn’t hide it, smiling and saying, "Immortal Venerate, direct descendant, Kong Country’s royal grandson."
"Holy crap!" Shao Chaikun was taken aback.
...
Currently, the ember NPCs in the dungeon strategy are lured in batches.
The first batch is mortal-level embers.
The second batch is human immortal level.
But this requires cleaning up all the mortal embers first. After Ning Zheng updated the human immortal level ember virus, only then can those human immortals be attracted.
But now they’re obviously very lucky. Such a mere mortal, yet there’s a big catch!
Originally, Ning Zheng thought it would require reaching the ember celestial immortal or ember true immortal level to catch the core ancient big fish.
When Ning Zheng arrived, this royal grandson of Kong Country was tied up completely, showing a look of fear and shock, as if he was about to be wrecked.
Why was he tied up?
Because as soon as he arrived, he saw through them as fakes.
The current iron smiths have corrected their acting skills numerous times, so in the late stage, basically, no one can see through it.
But this royal grandson of Kong Country said: Seeing it fake at a glance is enough to prove his caliber!
Thus, the process was very simple.
After shouting that defiant statement: "What Immortal Venerate returns, better for me to come myself!" they began to besiege this guy.
And so.
After paying the tragic price of dozens of people, the iron smiths finally overwhelmed him.
In fact, this achievement is very exaggerated.
The newbie iron smiths, frantic in combat, have already learned more effective team coordination (efficient self-detonation), and a dozen or so iron smiths can besiege someone to death.
It can be seen that this person’s combat power is extraordinary.
Ning Zheng came over, seeing this young man with red lips and white teeth, eyes resolute, with great emperor potential in the future, much like the young mythical hero in storybooks.
"Sir, he won’t talk," the Food God said, "We’ve tried everything, various intimidations, even flicking his little ding-a-ling."
???
Ning Zheng’s expression was somewhat stiff, but he pretended to nod solemnly.
He actually didn’t want to care about this person’s name; at a glance, he was a tough nut, "If he doesn’t talk, forget it. These tough nuts have aspirations, just light the firewood."
With that, a flame engulfed.
The fire burned this young man, and he turned into ashes in the air, a flame carrying countless words returning to Ning Zheng’s body.
Moreover, this earth-bound spirit would still revive, so there’s no real loss.
Ning Zheng continually pondered the knowledge and heritage within.
High-tier knowledge and heritage were rare.
After all, this person was only a mortal, not yet an immortal, probably waiting to be taught advanced knowledge after breaking through.
However.
Some peculiar dharma methods made Ning Zheng delighted.
Especially, he discovered a hidden surprise.
Methods to control the [Mythical Corridor] and [Immortal Palace Hall].
[Mythical Corridor]: It’s the passage to enter this palace; no matter from which direction one enters, they’ll come to the corridor entrance direction.
In fact, it’s a powerful magical artifact that can isolate the outside world, preventing powerhouses from entering.
This space corridor can cause people to get lost in the passageway or not find the entrance.
[Immortal Palace Hall]: It’s this palace beneath our feet. Through numerous battles, not even a tile on the ground was cracked, proving its uniqueness and specialty!
This palace is extraordinarily sturdy and its function is single, with an area that can continuously expand and contract.
"The area can be big or small."
Ning Zheng showed a hint of joy.
Indeed, this outrageous tomb raiding model can step by step obtain good stuff from the tomb, truly surprising like treasure hunting!
Successfully obtained the dharma methods for refining two immortal treasures.
If it were normal, honest tomb raiding, you’d have to defeat celestial or true immortal level terrifying experts to even have a chance at obtaining such refining methods!
But even True Immortal Momei and others coming to this tomb, combating head-on, under the oppressive environment of this space world, would likely struggle to defeat those outside true immortals of the same level.
And us?
True Immortal Momei might not be able to manage it in a short time, yet we’ve snuck an advantage through this kind of tomb raiding method...
Ning Zheng was extremely delighted in his heart, very pleased.
Looking at the iron smiths full of expectations, he felt joyous, "You’ve done well!"
"Indeed," the Food God replied proudly, "Our new version of the tomb raiding mode is not simple."
Ning Zheng started scheming in his mind.
With this refining dharma method, if I refine this palace, expand a palace, move Sword Casting Manor into the Immortal Venerate’s court, wouldn’t it be just perfect?
Outside, there is a long corridor as an entrance, ensuring my Sword Casting Manor’s safety?
Ning Zheng’s gaze fell on a group of iron smiths in the distance diligently pulling monsters and fighting,
Moving Sword Casting Manor into this palace, in the future, they would be pulling monsters and entering the corridor time and time again, wouldn’t it be more convenient?
Even pulling monsters up to the manor would be more interesting.
Ning Zheng smiled at the Food God and the iron smiths, saying, "You’ve found a hidden character, triggering a corresponding hidden reward. Tomorrow, you’ll see a big surprise."
The iron smiths laughed at once.
A big surprise? They felt a bit expectant inside.
Indeed, this tomb raiding dungeon rewards are lavish; merely luring the mortal ember boss can trigger some hidden NPC treasures.
If in the future they lure an immortal ember boss, wouldn’t their supreme treasures and past inheritance be even more profitable?
