Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Ghost Building Ghost Fish Nest

"But why not directly construct an Affiliated Territory? Doing it by the seaside would suffice."

Qin Lan wasn’t quite clear on this point; she was merely following what Fang Jie had said.

Fang Jie smiled, "Although I’m not very familiar with those high-end things, I am quite clear about the game’s rules. This world is much like the games of the past."

"Even though there’s no rule limiting the number of Affiliated Territories you can build, and constructing one doesn’t expend much, it definitely isn’t that simple. Otherwise, the native lands would have long been occupied by numerous Affiliated Territories."

Fang Jie had felt that something was amiss for a while now; the abilities concerning territories in this world were not new after their arrival.

In fact, even before they came here, the natives had already acquired the ability to control territories, and there was even an established system for becoming a Lord. After so many years of development, shouldn’t they understand it better than the Earth people?

If the conditions for constructing an Affiliated Territory were really so low, then definitely everyone would build them in vast numbers. At the very least, within their own zones of control, such territories would be ubiquitous.

Utilizing territories for development was much cheaper and quicker than directly using the natives.

The most important aspect was loyalty—as long as you operate within certain rules, you generally wouldn’t need to worry about loyalty being an issue.

But now the problem was that things hadn’t turned out that way, so Fang Jie was sure there must be issues with constructing an Affiliated Territory. At least, it couldn’t be as simple as he initially thought.

"So, are you holding onto your quotas for constructing territories without clear knowledge of the situation?"

"You could say that. Anyway, it’s certain that I’ll need to build one on Flower Plateau. When the time comes, we’ll see what it’s really about," Fang Jie said with a smile, not elaborating further.

Long before acquiring this ability, Fang Jie had already experimented.

Although building an Affiliated Territory would consume a significant amount of materials, it definitely wouldn’t be too much.

Moreover, you could immediately construct all of the main buildings of the Main Territory, and an Affiliated Territory wouldn’t need as many resources for upgrading. With just an Affiliated Lord Mansion, the resources needed for upgrading could be cheaper by more than an order of magnitude.

After returning to the Territory, Fang Jie promptly dispatched a vast number of Skeleton Laborers to dig a new river, cutting from the source all the way to the seaside.

This brutal method of construction was something only lifeless creatures like these could accomplish.

Work commenced both on land and in water. As long as the currents weren’t too strong, the Death Lobster Men would be fine. With their help, even the Skeleton Laborers’ work speed underwater wasn’t too slow.

In just a few days, Fang Jie had managed to bifurcate the river.

If it weren’t for the special rules of this world, ensuring a constant flow of water from an unknown source, Fang Jie reckoned that his actions might have altered the course of the river.

But this too was beneficial, increasing the water system within his own territory.

Passing through an enormous depression in the terrain, the Skeleton Laborers had also widened this area thoroughly.

As the water came in, this place gradually became a lake.

Next up was the construction of a dockyard in this location. As for by the estuary where the river met the sea, Fang Jie built a large Fortress directly and started constructing the docks beside it.

"It’s a pity—if only I could’ve directly built the dockyard within the Fortress’s control area, it wouldn’t have been so troublesome."

Fang Jie sighed as he mobilized a substantial military force to fully secure the area near the estuary. At the very least, even if there was an onslaught of Sea Beasts, he could ensure that nothing would happen there.

Simultaneously, Fang Jie also established a Ghost Fish Nest there. This was the last blueprint Fang Jie had obtained from the Golden Treasure Chest, with all that remained being some resources, equipment, and such.

The Ghost Fish Nest was a special structure. With this, future marine troop force would become even more abundant.

The dockyard and the docks were extensive constructions that needed more time to build, so paradoxically, the lastly constructed Ghost Fish Nest was completed the quickest. The nest itself was semi-transparent, barely visible in the water if one wasn’t paying attention.

Ghost Fish Nest (Silver) Lvl 1: The resentment of the Fishmen doesn’t disperse, forming a ghostly Fishmen nest that produces various types of Fishman Ghosts.

"Just one type of troop, all from the ghostly system," Fang Jie mused as he examined the panel. Come to think of it, aside from his own Ghost Servant, he had really never gained similar types of troops.

Since that was the case, he might as well produce one to try it out.

Fang Jie promptly produced a Silver-ranked Fishman Ghost. Like the Ghost Servants, Fishman Ghosts were essentially semi-transparent, and they became even more translucent under the sunlight, which also slightly weakened their strength.

However, the difference was that Fishman Ghosts couldn’t solidify into physical forms, nor could they interact with external Material.

But in terms of skills, things got interesting. The first skill, Possession, allowed the Fishman to attach itself to other lifeforms, Ghost-like, affecting the enemy’s movements and even thoughts.

If there was a significant difference in levels, it could even transform the enemy into someone else.

Although the control wasn’t so intricate, it was already quite impressive in battle.

Corpse Manipulation was an ability added to Possession; it still required possession, but this time of a Corpse. As long as the Corpse level didn’t exceed their own, they could control the Corpse to fight.

If the Corpse died, they could simply switch to another. Generally, unless Magic Attacks were involved, they were impossible to harm.

The last skill, Soul Freeze, was an attack with an additional effect.

This effect allowed the Fishman Ghosts to produce a unique cold effect upon attacking or executing a Possession Attack, freezing the enemy’s Spirit, directly killing their Soul.

This freezing could even affect the external world, causing actual frost to form on the enemy’s body.

When Fang Jie first experimented, he almost thought it was the effect of the Cold Wind Girl Statue. Later, he discovered that they were entirely different; the freezing effect originated from the Soul, extending outward through the spiritual influence.
