Chapter 376: Master, Spectacles Ruin the Country!
“Hiss—”
A loud inhale came from the young girl’s mouth, and by the end, her mouth was too weak to make a sound, yet she maintained that extremely surprised and stiff appearance.
The cold and solemn expression shattered in that instant, leaving only a stunned, vacant face due to shock, and enlarged black eyes that flickered with disbelief.
In reality, Kazumi wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with such situations. In the game before, the sacrifice function had a setting that stated, “High-quality offerings can shorten the overall sacrifice time.”
However, it was only a simple shortening of partial time, and special offerings could grant various different bonus rewards. The situation the young girl was seeing before her eyes was something she had basically never encountered before.
But considering the difference between reality and the game, it seemed reasonable for something like this to happen.
The so-called shortening of sacrifice time and higher rewards were merely a game mechanic. In reality, if an offering could win the favor of an ancient god in the abyss, then it would seem quite normal for them to quickly take it and generously grant rewards beyond specifications. After all, for them, the content of the rewards was not restricted by so-called game prize pools.
“But even thinking about it that way, this reward is too abundant.”
Rubbing her cheeks in disbelief, Kazumi finally recovered from the momentary shock. Looking at the bone-skin scroll floating in mid-air before her, she couldn’t help but talk to herself.
One must know that spectacle-type buildings were a very scarce building type, even in the late stages of the game. Any type of spectacle could bring substantial resource bonuses, special troop supplies, and unique special capabilities to the entire territory.
Whether it was the “Pharaoh’s Blessing” of the “Great Pyramid” or the “Whispers of the Ancient Gods” of the “Black Mad Mountains,” they were powerful abilities enough to turn the tide of a large battle. As for the “Ghost Gate,” a lower-level spectacle building, it might be slightly weaker, but for Kazumi now, it was definitely a trump card that could greatly enhance her capabilities at the current stage.
“Hooo— Let’s take a look first.”
Letting out a long breath to calm her mood again, the young girl recalled the various spectacle information she had seen in the game data in her previous life. Using her capability, she pulled the floating scroll into her hands.
The pale white bone-skin scroll did not feel as heavy as she had imagined. Instead, it had a delicate feel like real human skin, making her doubt the actual material of this scroll.
The grotesque, winding patterns on it spoke of the inhumane treatment its owner had suffered before death. The crossed hand bones on both sides gently rolled up the thick outer skin, forming a scroll that emanated a strong death aura.
Holding one of the bone arms with one hand, the young girl took a deep breath, gripped the top edge of the scroll tightly, and slowly unrolled the huge scroll that made her breath tighten.
At the same time, a blood-red system panel appeared before the young girl.
[Spectacle Building Blueprint: Ghost Gate]
[Quality: S]
[Legendary boundary between the Yin World and the Yang World, connecting the edge of death at the confluence of the two realms. Stern rampart, bronze walls and iron ramparts, unbreakable. Every entity entering here requires a special pass to go through inspection before entering the Ghost Country.]
[Required Materials: 5 x Supreme Yin items, 5 x Supreme Yang items, 100 x Human Souls, 8000 x Stone Material Soaked in Death Aura, 8000 x Metal Soaked in Death Aura, 200 x High-Energy Quality Corpses, 1000 x Human Skeletons…]
[Size: Unknown]
“Fuck!”
The overwhelming blood-red characters made the young girl unable to open her eyes. But the following dense and complicated conditions made the usually stable young girl directly curse.
Although building blueprints cannot reveal the specific content of their abilities, based on the name and introduction of the building, she could guess that the type of ability would be related to “defense,” “checkpoints,” or “domains.” In fact, it suit her cautious personality quite well.
Coupled with the blood-red S symbol on the building’s quality, the young girl’s hands trembled slightly from her imagination upon first sight.
But the subsequent construction conditions were like a heavy blow that completely dashed Kazumi’s excited thoughts to the ground. She couldn’t help but curse the classic profanity from her previous life.
The main reason was that these conditions were too outrageous. Not to mention the high-quality corpses and souls calculated in the hundreds, the vast amount of stone and metal soaked in death aura and ordinary corpses alone were almost impossible for the young girl to obtain.
Not to mention the rather cryptic supreme Yin and Yang items, and then various strange things like candles and yellow paper later on.
I know these are necessary to highlight the building’s characteristics, but in reality, these things are too difficult to obtain! Do I have to go to China specifically to find them? It’s not recommended to open new maps if your level isn’t high enough, damn it!
Suppressing the urge to throw the scroll in her hand to the ground, Kazumi put away the scroll.
At this moment, the young girl knew that with such a large investment of resources, the returns would definitely be incredibly generous. The previous A-grade building, the “Graveyard Hill,” had already given her quite a surprise, let alone the achievement reward for the first spectacle construction that the system should also provide in addition to the spectacle itself.
With the two combined, it would definitely be a qualitative leap in her overall capabilities. It might even be an opportunity to switch the current positions of hunter and prey, and to actively hunt those who are called “Heroes.”
“Lord, are you alright?”
A withered and hoarse voice came from her ear, interrupting Kazumi’s thoughts about the future. Turning her head, she realized that the loyal Lich Governor had already come to her side and was asking about her condition with some concern.
“I’m fine, Lei.”
Waving her hand to signal that she was okay, Kazumi pointed to the “Dark Altar” before her, which had already entered CD, and continued.
“The sacrifice is complete, there were no surprises. Next time there’s anything similar, just report it to me.”
“The construction of the city walls can also begin. Make them a bit larger than the estimated position, and leave enough space for future expansion.”
Looking at the pale white Lich diligently recording her orders, the young girl nodded with satisfaction, as if she could already see the majestic and imposing city walls and the prosperous new city after reconstruction.
As if thinking of something else, her right hand, which was about to retract, reached out again, and she gently handed the scroll in her hand to the Lich before her.
“Also, take a look at this. If we were to build it, could it be done?”
