Inside the Shelter.

"If you have any questions, or... any needs, you can come here to summon me, ssss."

The snake turned into a golden light, said its last words, and disappeared into the ground.

[Alert!]

The fusion process of the Heart of the World has been completed.

The first stage is now complete.

The future expansion cost is reduced by 50%, and the cost of material reuse is reduced by 25%.

The speed of New Life creation and maturity accelerates, and the space-time detection range increases to 1000 units.

To enter the second stage, the Shelter's area, and the Life Force of resident creatures, must be enhanced.

"Sigh, it seems expanding the city could have saved a lot of Coins... But... if I can let the Heart of the World enter the second stage... No, it first takes 50 million to upgrade to the Second Level Dome... I can't afford that much money..."

Lin Yi stood there thinking for another ten minutes, finally determining his plan.

Is he a coward?

Obviously, he believes he is not.

The Second Level Dome can cover most of the Life Force glow of the Shelter, but it costs a lot of money.

He would rather invest the money in his army and beat anyone who dares attack him into a retreat.

Then he would plunder them, enslave them!

Instead of hiding in the Shelter, like a coward.

After the brainstorming ended, the wise Lin Yi teleported back to the Earth Location again.

At this point, the little elves have completed their recognition, but the zombies show no signs of slowing down.

Lin Yi began to grind Experience himself.

Ten minutes later.

"Boss!" Awon's birdlike voice rang out.

Lin Yi stopped: "What's the matter?"

Awon, looking extremely excited, with an undying glow in his eyes.

"Boss, please allow me to bring more Faru people here, to make them stronger."

"Of course, no problem."

Lin Yi waved his hand, teleporting Awon to the fields, where the Faru people were harvesting wheat.

He also ordered Melanie to inform Orianna to let these little guys pause their fieldwork temporarily.

Another ten minutes passed.

Congratulations, you have reached Level 12 and received a reward: 2 Attribute Points.

"To reach Level 13, I still need 12,000 Experience Points? What the heck?! Might as well be a Mage..."

With each level up, the Experience Points double.

Lin Yi had accumulated six Attribute Points, but hadn't found the right place to use them yet.

What if he ultimately decides to become a Mage?

Thanks to his attendant, that white kirin, his Magic Attribute is the highest, reaching 66.

The attendant's Skills double this attribute, but it doesn't affect base Attributes.

So with accessories, he would have more Magic Power.

Melanie soon reported that the Faru people are ready, divided into a total of sixty groups.

The whole process was basically on track, so it didn't take much time.

The first group took only twenty minutes to complete the initialization of recognition, including Raya the Sun Priestess.

The priestess refused the soldiers' help, floating at the same height as the zombies in the air, condensing a light ball between her hands.

When the light ball began to crackle due to excessive Magic Power, she fired a beam of light.

The light beam hit a zombie's forehead, but only made it bleed a little...

This light beam was not enough to penetrate its skull.

She fired another light beam, with the same result.

She cried but still refused the soldiers' help, trying again and again.

On the sixth attempt, Lin Yi smiled and told her that zombies' weak point is their eyes.

The Sun Priestess glared at Lin Yi, but followed his suggestion and hit the zombie's eye, completely killing it.

As soon as the system message ended, the young elf girl began to writhe in pain, as her beautiful golden wings turned to dust, she also began to fall.

Awon, right beside her, tried to catch the faltering beauty mid-air.

But the priestess pushed him aside.

Lin Yi snapped his fingers, a soft cushion appeared beneath the elf girl.

She fell right onto it, unable to stand up.

Tears gushed from her eyes, but she bravely endured the pain.

She didn't make a sound, persevering to the end.

Soon the pain was gone.

After the mutation, Raya grew wings again.

They were still golden, but her body expanded, now she was nearly a meter tall.

Like all Faru people, she gained an additional Evolution Point.

She unhesitatingly used the Skill Point on "Light Magic" mutation.

She soared into the sky again, condensing a light ball, but this time it was larger, and its color shifted from pale white to pale gold.

She easily fired the light beam, this time it pierced a First Level zombie's head.

"I'm no longer weak! I want to become strong to protect my people!"

These thoughts filled the girl's mind, and she continually fired light beams until exhausting her Magic Power.

She was reborn!

She was no longer that weak little girl.

She was particularly delighted with the way the other Faru people looked at her, they all gazed at her enchantedly.

So far, she was the only elf among them who could single-handedly kill a zombie giant.

Even Arvin couldn't do it.

And she didn't just kill one, she killed twelve!

Arvin wanted to say something to the Priestess.

But Raya bypassed him and flew to Lin Yi, looking at him with a slightly provocative gaze.

Lin Yi's words had once greatly stimulated her, and she wanted to see the expression of this young leader at that moment.

But when she saw Lin Yi just give her an approving raise of his eyebrows, she felt a little disappointed, though soon it was replaced by an annoying joy.

She snorted and went back to recover her magic power.

Lin Yi chuckled, you couldn't tell, this elf girl had quite an aloof personality.

At this moment, a prompt sounded.

[Alert!]

[The Ark you conquered from the Child of the Sun has now been devoured by the Space-Time Demon.]

"Didn't expect it would take so long..."

Lin Yi muttered to himself as he chopped the zombie into pieces.

Meanwhile, all the solar people received similar messages, informing them that their mother ark had been destroyed.

Needless to say, they were agitated.

Lin Yi noticed it, but still decided to deal with the little elves' matters first.

He and all the small elves, civilians, and the Hilania SWAT team members who wanted to level up killed zombies together, slaughtering all the way until four in the afternoon.

He even had to turn the bait to the maximum.

By the end, he had gained 20,000 zombie corpses, 295 white rewards, and 14,735 coins.

Lin Yi gained 599 experience points, and about a hundred Hilania people leveled up to level 5.

Among the 295 rewards, 59 were white, and the rest were rewards for the Faru people and Hilania people.

The Faru people's rewards looked like walnuts, and when opened, they got mutant cores.

These cores looked like peculiar skill books for monsters with wisdom, as well as some other items.

However, the Faru people didn't get any weapons or armor, either because the Faru people's equipment doesn't exist, after all, they evolved from monsters, or they were just unlucky.

The rewards for the Hilania people, to put it delicately, were very unusual.

They were clams...

The kind with shells.

But luckily, these clams were cooked, for a civilized race like the Hilania people, certainly wouldn't eat raw food like the barbaric "yellow race"!

Lin Yi decided to open the Hilania people's rewards later because he had a ton of things to do.

After sending everyone back to the Shelter, he gathered the now almost famous "Mad Plunderers" team.

He also brought over the young beastman and some civilian volunteers.

He had to hurry to Brussels.

So he only gave them an hour, ordering them to start looting all the resources.

The furniture and electronics in the Shelter were running out, it was a good opportunity to replenish supplies.

While the plunderers were in action, the beastmen transported the scrap metal and guarded the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi went to the ward of the Child of the Sun.

The guy was in poor condition, but he had pulled through.

The Child of the Sun, Sualme VI, turned his head painfully to see the person who had saved him and his people, even though he still didn't understand the reason.

He thought, this man was either the kindest, most foolish person in the Sea of Space-Time, or quite the opposite, the sharpest, most farsighted person.

After all, could he see the great potential of his Sun Race?

The Child of the Sun, wrapped in bandages, smiled wryly.

"Should I now call you 'Lord'?"

"I'd rather you call me 'Boss'."

Lin Yi pulled up a chair and sat by the patient's bedside, so he wouldn't have to strain to look up.

"What will happen to my people... I mean, my former people?"

The former lord was very afraid that his people would be sold into slavery, which for them meant death and oblivion.

Lin Yi widened his eyes.

"What do you mean? Didn't I promise? I'll let them work... we're just conducting a census now, once we figure out who is good at what, I'll assign them jobs.

If they don't have any useful skills, they can farm. If someone wants to protect the people they care about, they can join the army...

But to be honest, your warriors haven't impressed me much."

Lin Yi spoke very bluntly.

He wasn't trying to belittle or insult this Child of the Sun, but to him, these medieval warriors couldn't compare to his well-trained soldiers.

The soldiers in the Shelter had to undergo strict military and physical training and occasionally participate in actual combat and such.

The Child of the Sun was very surprised, his heart filled with joy, but his reason was unwilling to believe what he had heard.

"So you really don't plan to... sell us into slavery... my lord?"

"Why would I... I mean, how much is a slave worth?"

"At least ten coins... a warrior could be worth up to a hundred..."

"Damn, that's cheap! I'm kind of excited!... Do you know where I can buy some?"

Lin Yi had originally thought a slave was worth at least 500 coins, or even more...
