The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 220 - 133: Development Within the Instance
Chapter 220: Chapter 133: Development Within the Instance
Several days had passed in the territory, yet the time in the Cycle Challenge dungeon world has nearly been a month.
If Bai Yi had not already fully gained the upper hand in all three instances, he would not have felt so at ease, devoting all his time to research.
It was for this reason that in these few days, only the level 2 dungeon world, due to a lack of resources, needed extra investment from Bai Yi.
Mostly, these were various steam machines, used to aid the construction of ship islands within.
After a month of work, the ship island within the level 2 dungeon world was nearing completion, lacking only the final machinery installation and adjustments, and was beginning preparations for the construction of the great cathedral.
Calculating by this speed, another ship island could possibly be built in the dungeon world before the end of the Cycle Challenge.
Meanwhile, in the level 3 dungeon world, due to sufficient resources, the construction speed of the Magic Floating Islands was much faster.
Before Bai Yi began his research, the number of floating islands had already reached six, and after a month, this number had reached fourteen.
Among these was also a giant floating island made from the world’s Church Court’s Holy Mountain.
The towering Flourishing Church on top had also been completed, replacing the original church of the Church Court, becoming the first Flourishing Church constructed under Bai Yi’s command.
Regretfully, since this church was located within the dungeon world, he could not remotely check its attributes and could only wait for them to bring out the floating island along with the church from the dungeon world.
While Bai Yi was reviewing the battle reports, the second and third churches in the dungeon world had already begun construction under the leadership of the "Pope Witch," showing a tendency to become the witch leader in that dungeon world.
However, high initiative from his subordinates was also a good thing for him, he had no objections to this.
As long as they acted under the guidance of the Swarm Consciousness, aligning with his will without deviation, he would not interfere too much.
Moreover, now that the number of witches had increased, having some autonomously emerging managers among the newly joined witches was beneficial for him, acting as a second-tier management under the Swarm Consciousness to filter out a lot of messy information for him.
At least... freewebnσvel.cøm
It saved him from having to hear every day about witches sending him electricity through the Swarm Network every moment...
Heaven knows why there would still be witches in the Swarm Network smiling at him foolishly at three or four in the morning.
Additionally, luckily, these bits of information would not be directly delivered to him, but filtered once by various second-level consciousnesses, only providing truly effective information to him.
Compared to these two lower-tier dungeon worlds, the dungeon world directly under his command was progressing much faster.
With the help of Knight, the three ship islands that started construction simultaneously had been successfully completed, and during Bai Yi’s review of battle reports, the fourth ship island had already begun construction.
The new ship islands were not constructed simultaneously but based on Knight’s suggestion, a giant ship island was built.
This had already deviated from the blueprint category of ship islands, completely modified by Knight based on the previous three ship islands into a brand new blueprint.
Completely forsaking land mobility to become a sea vessel.
Trading off land mobility for a much larger size, with an area of twenty square kilometers, enough to be called a small city!
As for the Magic Side floating islands, since Knight had no knowledge in this area, he could only provide some engineering machinery for assistance, making the construction speed much slower.
In one month, only twelve floating islands had been completed, slightly slower than the level 3 dungeon world.
However, the progress on the churches was much faster; two churches had been completed, located respectively in Knight’s main underground city and the first rising floating island.
The third church was being built on the fourth large ship island, with synchronous construction with the ship island, although the ship island had just completed the deck laying, the church was nearly finished.
And the number of witches there had also reached the required level, as long as the church was successfully completed, it could meet the requirements, using three churches as a basis to build a cross-world communication capability!
"Unfortunately, the church in the territory has just begun its main construction, and likely won’t be complete before the end of the Cycle Challenge, only able to establish a few contacts within the dungeon worlds.
However, once the dungeon ends, leaving a church as a rivet coordinate in each world, and bringing all the remaining churches out, the church communication network’s core could also be built within the territory, achieving normal communication with other dungeon worlds.
This would also increase control over the territory."
Thus, although only able to establish information exchanges, unable to establish teleportation and physical connections, it was also considered indirect control over those worlds.
Only one step away from complete mastery, a cross-world teleportation.
And now, with the existing in-world Teleportation Portal Giant Tree, a solid first step had been taken!
Furthermore, even if it could not be used for cross-world teleportation, this giant tree remains top-level transportation within the world_on this day when investment permissions were delegated, Bai Yi also added the tree species of the Teleportation Giant Tree to the mix.
As the giant tree cultivated under Bai Yi’s command, rapid growth was already fundamental—as soon as it grows roots and begins to autonomously absorb magic power, it can quickly grow either by connecting to the Fungus Blanket or directly absorbing Magic Power Crystals.
Even this method of "fertilization" wouldn’t have to worry about scorching seedlings like ordinary plants do, its main feature being its durability.
Incorporating the tree species along with the introduction of the giant tree into today’s investment materials, completing investments in all three instances, Bai Yi then shifted his attention to the Swarm Consciousness.
Although the territory did not have the time acceleration of the dungeon worlds, after hiding away for a few days under the pretext of research, the territory in a period of rapid development still amassed quite a few reports for her.
"Jun Lin and Landon?
It’s normal for Landon to seek me out, after all, his strength is relatively weak, and he has always been at a disadvantage in our cooperation, so it’s normal for him to show goodwill, but what is Jun Lin up to?
Moreover, looking at the leaderboard, Jun Lin’s personal combat power and comprehensive combat power have already reached the level 5 tier, which should not be necessary..."
I don’t understand...
But Landon indeed showed great sincerity; as long as his independence and life are not endangered, and he’s helped at the right time, he is willing to obey my commands completely, even willing to sign a contract for it.
In terms of the contract, Shang Ji is indeed very talented. At least he has considered secrecy very thoroughly; we don’t have to worry about the existence of the Swarm being detected.
It seems like Landon was hit hard in the dungeon, realizing that one person’s strength is limited, so he decided to turn to ’Non-humans’?"
Bai Yi playfully made a pun, having a deep understanding of her own territory.
Except for some residents in the lower district of Eternal Life City who the witches treat as rare creatures, nearly everyone in the territory is a non-human, which might be unique among the Lords.
But being non-human has its advantages; with the control of the Swarm Network, there are no underhanded fights leading to wastage of resources; the races cooperate seamlessly, all striving for the growth of the territory.
In the past few days, various workshops in Eternal Life City have successively completed their periodic research and launched several products.
For instance, spells like Cleaning Technique, Element Attachment, and Magic Scatter Shot for melee, researched by the Spell Research Institute...
Wait, why are all the spells, except for one Cleaning Technique, melee-oriented spells?
She quickly pulled up the detailed research report from the Spell Research Institute, Bai Yi confirmed that it wasn’t because the witches’ research went off track.
Instead, regarding long-range spells, the witches have been struggling to overcome the threshold of Joint Spells, which has troubled them for a week.
But looking at melee spells, since the principles are not difficult and the thick-skinned witches can test the magic on themselves, this led to continuous successful results.
The research of the other institutes and workshops, as directed by Bai Yi, appears much more normal.
Such as the Rune Research Institute, which, according to Bai Yi’s design, researched the First Generation Magic Power Gun, mimicking the Swarm’s Magic Power Jet. It can cause disintegration effects on targets within two hundred meters.
And due to its magic-absorbing properties, it also has some demon-breaking attributes.
However, the firearm itself looks like a heavy machine gun but is only capable of single-shot firing, and the damage is at a third-tier level, which needs enhancement.
But progress has been slow since it had to also oversee the construction of the Magic Floating Island.
Meanwhile, the Mechanical Research Institute, also engaged in engineering construction, has replicated a number of modern gas vehicles and some electrical appliances during this period.
Although the former currently has no use, the latter has genuinely improved the witches’ quality of life.
As for the last Potion Workshop...
It’s hard to judge...
On one hand, they have successfully researched their own fourth-tier potions and achieved mass production, showing rapid progress.
On the other hand, they have been dedicated to researching Coca-Cola from Bai Yi’s memories in their spare time, hoping to please Bai Yi by using it as an offering...
It’s hard to say they’re negligent, as the witch women did this during their off-hours set by Bai Yi.
"But I remember, I only once sighed while eating fries that they should be paired with Coca-Cola. How did they know that?
I remember no one heard at the time...
Wait, Ju was still there!"
But no matter what, whether it’s the orange cat or the witches, their intentions are good.
Moreover, the final result is not a bad thing for her, so let them be.
Perhaps even a new drink might be introduced for the witches.
Speaking of drinks, Bai Yi thought of a witch, already planning to open a pub when she advanced to fifth tier, and immediately looked up related information in the Swarm Network.
Now, a few days have passed. With the witches’ work efficiency, the pub has long been opened and has become a popular spot where many witches spend their Magic Power Coins. It has been very successful since its opening.
With this pub as an example, in the past few days, Shang Ji has received many applications to open shops.
It looks like before long, the witches are about to start forming the initial commercial district.
"It’s time to take a look sometime, but not with this body. I need to cultivate a new witch avatar.
Just right, I haven’t really used [Soul Cutting] since I acquired it; Bai Sheng has already prepared prisoners for me, so let’s start researching this soul ability...
Hmm?"
Bai Yi’s words hadn’t finished when the panel beeped again.
"Ah, has Bai Sheng finally completed the area Conquest?"
...
Witch Alliance・First Army Group・Third Witch Battle Group: A "Melee" special forces group within the Witch Alliance, specializing in various close-combat assaults—if stuffing an Anti-fortress Magic Cannon into someone’s face counts as "melee"...
God knows why these witches like to arm themselves with buffs before swinging cannons in their Melee Gunfighting Skill! Next time you want to humiliate us, just annihilate us, thank you!
