Chapter 274 - 210 Special Ingredients! Building Blueprints!
Each direction initially launched an attack with only ten.
Which is to say, there were forty in total.
Almost like a phantom, Zheng Cheng rushed into the swarm of beasts from the east.
With one kick, one of the alien beasts was crushed to death.
As he drew the Yunxiao Sword, he effortlessly killed another with a single stroke.
In less than ten seconds, the ten black armored worms attacking from the east had all become corpses!
Zhang San and the others watched dumbfoundedly at the figure of Zheng Cheng and the dead black armored worms on the ground, unconsciously swallowing their saliva.
“Wha-what in the world?”
“Is our lord really this powerful?”
“Isn’t he a support capability user?”
As the ten men were startled, Zheng Cheng’s figure dashed towards the north!
There were ten black armored worms there, too.
Because his home was on a hillside, while Zheng Cheng was killing the black armored worms in the east, the black armored worms from the other three directions hadn’t even reached halfway up the hill!
Taking a quick step, Zheng Cheng dashed into the black armored worms from the north.
Flipping his Yunxiao Sword up and down, he killed these ten black armored worms as well!
With his current four-dimensional attributes of 310 for physique, 170 for strength, 110 for agility, and 348 for spirit, he was dozens of times stronger than these black armored worms.
Dealing with them was like a grown man taking on a three-year-old child, an easy victory.
Even without any skill booster!
Most importantly, his Penicillin Parasite Body Shield was a permanently existing body shield.
The corrosive poison that was sprayed by the black armored worms couldn’t cause him any harm!
In less than five minutes, forty black armored worms from all four directions had all been slain by Zheng Cheng!
Bodies were all over the ground; thick, black, fresh blood painted the earth. Zhang San and the others unconsciously stood there with their mouths wide open.
Zheng Cheng shook off the blood from his Yunxiao Sword and returned to his home.
“Stop daydreaming and drag all those corpses back.”
“And clean up the battlefield.”
During the fight, a lot of iron ore and other supplies had fallen from the bodies of these black armored worms.
He didn’t have time to pick them up.
“Yes, my lord!”
Zhang San and the others responded hurriedly, running down the hillside.
“The third master, our lord’s strength is extraordinary!”
“Yes, yes, maybe he can indeed help us resist the alien beasts!”
“Shush… keep your voice down, don’t disturb the lord!”
Zhang San, excited, said, “Quickly follow the lord’s orders. Maybe he is the one who can save our world!”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!”
The ten men kept cleaning the battlefield energetically. The black armored worm corpses were dragged near the homestead crystal. The corpses could be melted into life essence using the crystal.
Inside the bodies, refined iron blocks could be found. Some of the corpses even had two units of iron blocks.
These iron ore can be used to upgrade the homestead or construct other buildings.
Soon, the battlefield in the east was cleaned up, and there were ten corpses stacked beside the homestead, along with twelve tidy pieces of iron ore.
It was then that Zheng Cheng noticed that the morale of these ten workers had increased to 60 points, and loyalty had also climbed to 80 points!
When the ten of them went to clean up another battlefield, Zheng Cheng took the Yunxiao Sword and stabbed it into one of the black armored worm corpses.
[Skill successfully used!]
[You have obtained the food ingredient: Black Armored Worm Heart.]
“It really worked!”
He quickly bent down to check.
In his hand was a dark, peach-sized miniature heart, about the size of a marble and soft to the touch.
[Special Food Ingredient: Black Armored Worm Heart]
[Quality: One Star]
[Effect: Consuming it can permanently increase physique by 1 point, with a limit of 30 total consumed.]
[Description: The heart of a black worm, frail, but with a hint of bloodline power.]
Random Dissection!
To other assistants, this secret realm was a test.
But for Zheng Cheng, it undoubtedly was a treasure trove!
No matter whether the mission would be a success or not, the waves of alien beasts would always leave behind lots of carcasses.
And these corpses were his natural subjects for random dissection!
Kill them, dissect them!
Eat them until he hit his limit, and give the excess to his troops to enhance their strength.
In the end, even though they weren’t hero units, their four-dimensional attributes and overall strength would eventually exceed a hero unit!
After finishing the dissection, Zheng Cheng once again threw the ten corpses next to the homestead crystal.
The faint light slowly melted the black worms into life crystals!
These life crystals could be used to continue summoning new types of troops!
Half an hour later, Zhang San and the others had collected the corpses of forty black worms.
From those, Zheng Cheng had managed to dissect eleven black armored worms’ hearts.
Aside from that, there were also forty-three pieces of iron ore.
“My lord!”
Zhang San hurried over: “While cleaning the battlefield, we found a space crystal inside one of the alien beast corpses!”
“Space crystal?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes gleamed as he took the nearly transparent light blue crystal from Zhang San’s hand.
A space crystal is a special resource used to upgrade the homestead crystal.
Just with 100 units of iron ore and 10 units of space crystal, he could upgrade the homestead to LV2!
“Good job.”
Zheng Cheng ordered: “Leave ten corpses for lunch, and throw all the rest next to the homestead crystal to prepare to melt into life crystals.”
“Yes, my lord!”
The corpses of the alien beasts were edible.
They were also the main source of food for these summoned troops.
Soon, the bodies of thirty black-skinned worms were smelted into five life crystals.
Zhang San and the others had a full meal, easing their hunger slightly.
“Zhang San, this is your reward.”
Zheng Cheng took out ten hearts of the black-skinned worms and handed them to Zhang San.
“Sir, what is this…?”
“The essence of the flesh and blood of alien beasts, it can enhance your strength.”
Zheng Cheng said, “As long as you are loyal to me, all of you can receive this kind of reward.”
Ordinary people cannot see the properties of a tool with attributes unless they use special tools.
Therefore, Zhang San and the others would not know the specific attributes of these special ingredients.
However, after hearing that it was a reward, Zhang San and the others each divided a heart of the black-skinned worm and ate it.
“My lord! I can feel a warm current in my body…”
“Me too!”
“My belly feels so warm…”
“I don’t feel tired at all!”
“Same here!”
Under Zheng Cheng’s observation, the constitution attribute of all ten people, including Zhang San, had increased by 1 point!
Zhang San excitedly said, “Thank you, My Lord!”
“Alright, continue to cut wood, and retreat quickly when you notice an attack from alien beasts, understood?”
“Yes, Sir!”
Then, the group of ten, led by Zhang San, continued to go into the forest to cut wood.
Among them, six people have tools to cut trees, and the remaining four are transporting wood back and forth, sending all these woods into the homeland crystal.
In Zheng Cheng’s view, there is a separate space inside the homeland crystal.
As long as there are enough resources to support, it can be upgraded and summon troops!
He put his hand on the homeland crystal, and lines of text appeared before his eyes again:
[Name: Homeland Crystal]
[Attribute: Space-Time Rift]
[Function: Summon corresponding race of lives]
[Host: Zheng Cheng]
[Rank: LV1]
[Current unit: 10/10]
[Resources: Wood 32, Ore 43, Life Crystal 5, Space Crystal 1]
[Subordinate Structures: None]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Reminder: Need 100 units of ore and 10 units of space crystal to upgrade to LV2]
“Population is maxed out, cannot keep summoning. I can only wait for the next wave of attack to collect enough resources to upgrade the homeland crystal…”
Zheng Cheng murmured, and soon, the second wave of attack arrived again.
The attacker was still the black-skinned worm.
The difference is, the quantity was doubled!
From the east, west, south, and north, 20 black-skinned worms appeared in each direction, a total of 80!
Unfortunately,
These 80 black-skinned worms couldn’t even climb halfway up the hillside before they were easily slaughtered by Zheng Cheng!
“My Lord is really powerful!”
“Yeah yeah, I think we were of little use…”
“Shut up! We are his subordinates! You don’t feel ashamed for letting my lord fight personally in the battle?”
“Leader Zhang! So what should we do?”
With the reward of the hearts of the black-skinned worms, the loyalty of Zhang San and the others quickly reached 100 points!
Loyal and devoted!
And their morale also reached 90 points
“Cut wood! The only thing we can do now is cut wood!” Zhang San, carrying the corpse of the black-skinned worm, headed towards the homeland: “As long as we work harder, the level of the homeland will get higher and higher, and we can summon people stronger than us!”
“If we could build a barracks, maybe we could also become specialized fighting troops, by that time…”
“Huh? Leader Zhang! Stop quickly!”
“Leader Zhang! The corpse of the alien beast you’re carrying dropped something!”
“Leader Zhang! Look quickly…”
Zhang San quickly dropped the corpse of the black-skinned worm. A blueprint that emitted a faint glow fell down.
His eyes immediately lit up with excitement: “This is…”
Next to the homeland, Zheng Cheng was dissecting the bodies of these black-skinned worms.
The black-skinned worms could only be dissected to get one-star hearts, which permanently increased 1 point of constitution, which was better than nothing.
While dissecting, Zhang San came running excitedly, holding something in his hand.
“My Lord! My Lord!”
“We found this!”
“It’s a blueprint for a special building! Look!”
Zhang San ran over, and excitedly handed the blueprint to Zheng Cheng.
Zheng Cheng took a look and his eyes also lit up with joy.
Indeed, it was a blueprint for a special building!
“Zhang San, good job!”
Zheng Cheng pointed to a small pile of hearts of the black-skinned worms next to him and said, “These are your rewards. Share them with everyone.”
Zhang San excitedly said, “Yes, Sir!”
Having eaten the heart of the black-skinned worm, Zhang San of course knew what this was a reward that could enhance their strength!
“Thank you, Sir! Thank you, Sir!”
Zhang San, holding the hearts of the black-skinned worms, walked away excitedly, and Zheng Cheng’s eyes fell on the blueprint in his hand.
“Interesting, a construction blueprint, huh?”
[Name: Arrow Tower Construction Blueprint]
[Attribute: Defense Building]

[Description: After use, an arrow tower can be built to defend against enemy attacks.]
[Resources Required: Ore 20, Wood10]
