Chapter 386: Chapter 221: An Extremely Explosive Presence_2

For such people, most of the residents of the territory held respect and admiration.

Unlike the natives’ distant respect, the Blue Star residents quickly approached Zhou Bai and began asking questions.

"How did the cement come about? It seems like it suddenly appeared?"

"Will there be more?"

Zhou Bai listened and directly said, "When we went to meet those goblins, we found a lake with shells in it, so we fished them out. For now, it’s only part of them, and they’ve mainly been used on the city wall. If there’s more, it will be directly used for road construction."

Cement roads, undoubtedly also a tool outside of magic that could speed things up in this world.

They would first try it out in Glasgow Village.

While responding, Zhou Bai also started to calculate in his mind.

"From what you’re saying, there’s still stock left?" Hearing that roads would be repaired, the crowd was invigorated.

They understood what Zhou Bai implied; although the cement in Hope Village was limited in quantity, there was still a good amount left.

After all, they could even construct roads!

Just thinking about all the future roads connecting the territory to the outside world being made of cement, one could imagine how prosperous Hope Village would become.

And amongst the crowd listening, many natives were also feeling delighted.

Although they didn’t understand some of the implications, they could sense that such a tool as cement was still plentiful in Hope Village and would continue to be invested in the development of the territory.

How wonderful!

Subsequently, the group continued on, turning their attention to the city wall.

The closer they got to the wall, the more they felt the oppressive might it gave off.

The crowd around the city wall seemed somewhat small at this time.

Members of the Goblin Clan were among them, their bodies trembling.

Their emotions ran deeper than that of humans.

"Did we really make this?" A goblin looked up at the "new" city wall in near awe.

"Yes, we made it," Chief Miers said, his voice also holding some emotion.

Hearing this confirmation, the goblins quietly lowered their heads and shed tears.

It turned out that their worth wasn’t just in mining; they could hold value elsewhere too.

The goblins’ behavior also drew the attention of the surrounding people.

Seeing their "pitiful" appearance, several Blue Star residents quickly spoke out.

"You really did a good job, thank you for bringing us such a magnificent city wall."

"Awesome."

"Never would have thought you little guys could do such tough work so damn well."

Listening to these praises, the goblins’ eyes unconsciously widened.

Were they really that amazing?

Some natives didn’t think much of it at first, but after listening, they started to agree too.

"Previously, I thought goblins only knew how to mine! But they did a really good job with this."

"I even thought the village chief came up with these projects just to settle the goblins, but I didn’t expect..."

"Village Chief is here."

While a few were whispering, they noticed Zhou Bai’s presence and quickly greeted him.

This village chief was the creator of the new city wall.

In an instant, the thousands of spectators on-site turned their eyes towards Zhou Bai.

Facing these stares, Zhou Bai walked over to Clan Leader Miers, "Clan Leader Miers, thank you for your efforts in building us such a wall. I’ve just been informed that our wall’s defensive power has reached 400,000."

Of course, such great news of a 400,000 defensive power had to be widely announced, as it was so necessary for establishing the confidence of Hope Village Residents.

As expected, once this number was revealed, the scene fell silent for several seconds.

Then cheers erupted!

"Four hundred thousand? Did I hear that right?"

"No, I heard it too!"

"Ah! Isn’t that even more badass than a Level 1 city?"

"Yes, Level 1 cities have only a little over 200,000, at least comparable to the defensive power of Level 2 cities, of course, that’s just the defensive power! Cities not only have physical defense but also Magic Defense, and their Attack is also very formidable."

"Of course, I know that, our Hope Village is a Level 2 village!"

"Yeah! For a Level 2 village to achieve this is unbelievable unless I’d seen it with my own eyes."

"This is a miracle, even more impressive than a huge Defense Magic Array."

"..."

On the scene, everyone was excitedly discussing, their faces full of pride.

Their sense of safety peaked at this moment.

The city wall seemed safe before, but now it was genuinely secure.

While everyone was happy about this, suddenly someone in the crowd let out a shout of surprise.

"Holy shit, I just noticed our territory’s ranking has improved! Just a moment ago, we were second in the regional ranking, but now we’re first."

He had glanced inadvertently and noticed the ranking of his territory had suddenly changed from an ordinary 2 to a bright red 1.

Hearing this, Zhou Bai’s heart leapt, and he instinctively looked towards the territory panel, indeed seeing changes in the data.

[Current Ranking: (Stan Continent Ranking: 6012); (Regional Ranking: 1) (Real-time Data)]

Sure enough, the territory’s regional ranking had changed from second to first, successfully making a leap, and the ranking on Stan Continent also shot up by more than a thousand.

This leap surprised Zhou Bai somewhat.

Could a city wall’s defensive power really have such a significant impact on a territory’s strength?

Originally, he thought they’d have to wait until the Territory War for a promotion, but the newly discovered cement allowed them to achieve their goal ahead of time, a pleasant surprise!

It seemed the territory ranking really reflected the overall strength of a territory.

Hope Village’s significant breakthrough was because its defense was now deemed sufficient to make up for the level gap, right?

Heh, turning the territory into an iron fortress had just become a reality under a fortunate coincidence!

And not just Zhou Bai, but many others also noticed, their expressions quickly revealing excitement.

Having one’s own territory ranked first was undoubtedly great!

The most important part was, a Level 2 village in the entirety of the Stan Continent ranking in the six thousands was an explosive presence.

Indeed, as all residents were excited about the improvement in the territory’s ranking, the change in Hope Village’s ranking had also caught the attention of countless territories.
