Chapter 772: The Syringe

Outside Fanggang City—

Lu Yu personally came out to welcome the arrival of two hundred thousand people from the United Kingdom.

At the moment Lu Yu appeared, the area outside the city became even more chaotic.

Because a portion of the people have already been confirmed.

The ten zones in the second domain of Fanggang will not be inhabited by ordinary people, nor are they intended for them.

That will be the domain where the elites of various countries are stationed.

The British were led by a major general. After the major general made contact with Lu Yu, two hundred thousand troops entered the first zone.

At this moment, everyone understood.

The first five areas are reserved for these countries.

“The first zone was originally built by the British. So this was the pre-existing agreement among the military forces of various countries to defend the port all along.”

Some people suddenly realized the truth.

For many years, the British have been developing that area in the second field, originally preparing for today.

With the British troops moving in, the American forces also entered the second zone the following day.

At this time, the sensation was not limited to Fanggang, but spread throughout all of China.

Because they know that before long, more people will be stationed in the ten major areas of Fanggang.

This is not a place where huge cities can gather millions upon millions of people.

However, everyone here is an elite, and each area is occupied by elite forces from various countries.

And when an elder from the four-ninety-nine cities of Huaxia arrived with the great army of Huaxia, the entire world erupted in excitement.

Countless people are surging towards this city.

Even for the rarest quotas and the slightest chances, they are unwilling to give up.

More and more people gathered outside Fanggang City, including Chinese people and individuals from all over the world.

At Fanggang, no matter where you come from, as long as you meet the qualifications, you can enter.

The Celestial Deities organization and dozens of other organizations from around the world have entered Zone Three, while the Chinese military has taken up position in Zone Four, and the French military has entered Zone Five.

One by one, the shocking news items were also exciting for the soldiers who could enter Fanggang.

In just half a month, Fanggang became even more bustling.

The arrival of a million people made the city no longer empty.

The ten regions can be accessed interchangeably without restrictions.

Some organizations have opened shops here, and even set up restaurants.

Moreover, the presence of these organizations in Fanggang has attracted the attention of countless powerful experts.

The sixth zone quickly reached saturation, but in order to hold this area, they managed to squeeze out thousands more spots to invite experts to enter.

Although only five thousand residency rights for the first domain were released, this did not affect the others who continued to wait.

Among these five thousand, there are 3,500 with remarkable power, 1,000 with great potential who have the opportunity to become kings, and an additional 500 warriors who, although lacking in strength, possess unique abilities.

Liu Xing is preparing for Fanggang’s future, not just for the present.

The Fanggang area became prosperous, while at the same time, all major cities worldwide were gathering combat strength, drawing in and inviting experts from various regions to join.

For the leaders of these cities, their preparations were still insufficient.

Barriers, strength, and city defenses were all insufficient for them.

Like Lu Yu, he was never satisfied with the defensive capabilities of Fanggang.

He spent all the star spirit stones in his possession, along with the Blue Star Soul, evolution liquid, and fragments of the Half-Star Artifact.

This was a fortune worth hundreds of trillions; he felt the pain of spending it all, yet he gritted his teeth and still went through with it.

This is the wealth accumulated over decades from Fanggang, as well as the spoils of war obtained during the recent act of vengeance.

Eventually, the number of ordinary domain guardians reached thirty thousand, which alone consumed three hundred trillion star crystals and star pearls from Lu Yu.

Two hundred thousand elite domain guardians consumed almost all of Lu Yu’s Blue Planet Souls, along with countless vials of evolution serum.

All high-level domain guardians possess toxicity, which is the only means for these domain guardians to counter more powerful enemies.

An incurable poison, an invincible body, with the power of ten thousand gods to confront any enemy.

Twenty thousand elite domain guards exhausted all of Lu Yu’s half-star device fragments and evolutionary liquid.

These people stood atop the walls of the first realm, densely packed, exuding an astonishingly intimidating presence.

When people in the field see these, they have long known the effects of these domain guardians.

Seeing the guardians of these fields, the people within the city feel even more at ease.

Fanggang is different from other cities. This city is entirely designed for defense, so as long as the city walls are not breached, it’s impossible for anyone to break inside.

Night—

The port city is aglow with lights, resembling a city that never sleeps.

The same bustling market-like noise exists outside the city walls as well!

Since there are still more than ten thousand spots available in the first domain, this is their opportunity.

Even though the conditions for settling in Fanggang are too harsh for most people to meet, there are still millions who are willing to try.

As soon as night falls—

At the center of Fanggang, two beams of light shot straight down to the ground.

Kun and the Ten Great Geniuses crafted armors under the starlight at night. One by one, millions of armors piled up like mountains. Each time a piece was finished, it was tossed aside like trash.

Such a scene, transmitted via satellite, left all the powerful figures watching in awe, their mouths watering.

“The Cyclopes are naturally born armor craftsmen. No wonder Fangang has an endless supply of powerful armor! It’s all because Lu Yu actually knows the names of the Cyclopes,” someone said, filled with both admiration and envy.

They watched as Kun and others tossed their armor aside, and after a while, Liu Xing went to collect them, which made them even more envious.

In one night, they could produce around two hundred sets of heavy armor.

For someone lacking armor and defensive capabilities, a piece of armor like this would be priceless—a perfect item for saving one’s life!

“No, we must find a way to get ten thousand items from Fanggang, no matter the cost.”

The leaders of various factions have issued orders.

Another beam of starlight in Fanggang City belongs to Lu Yu.

As soon as night fell, Lu Yu would sit cross-legged on the rooftop of a high-rise building at the heart of the city, devouring vast amounts of starlight.

Wang Zun’s bone has already reached its limit; the starlight was not prepared for Wang Zun’s bone.

Lu Yu absorbed these starry lights into his body, depositing them throughout his flesh and bones, preparing for the final stage of forging a semi-star artifact.

The Violent King stepped in front of Lu Yu, glanced at him, and said, “Your physical body has already become extremely powerful. Among the Kings, you are now invincible. Even if your body were to clash with a half-star artifact, you would undoubtedly be stronger than the half-star artifact. If you truly intend to forge yourself into a star artifact, why wait? What are you expecting if not now?”

“I’m still waiting, waiting for a moment,” Lu Yu smiled. “Now is not the time yet.”

Liu Xing knew I was coming over, so he asked me to mention to you that the price of food has risen too sharply.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Yu asked in surprise. “The price of food has been rising every day, which is already outrageous. Has it gone up again now?”

“I’m not very clear about the specific details; he just asked me to let you know casually.” After circling around the core area, the Violent King found some materials he needed and then turned away.

The Violent King has also reached the brink of breakthrough and is about three years away from restoring his royal strength.

If things go smoothly, it should take about two and a half years.

Lu Yu found Liu Xing at dawn.

Liu Xing is now working with countless people to develop a food distribution plan after the arrival of the Doomsday Tide.

At that time, food will be in short supply, and all personnel living here will need to have both food and water redistributed.

Freshwater is particularly scarce, with some rivers already dried up and groundwater resources also in short supply.

All organizations are stockpiling.

When Liu Xing and others saw Lu Yu return, they all put down their work at hand.

“Mr. Lu, you’ve come.” Liu Xing wiped the sweat from his brow and vented his frustrations, saying, “Mr. Lu, I think we should just take it by force. The food prices have risen too drastically.”

Lu Yu asked in confusion, “A few days ago you told me that the price of food had already risen to a thousand stellar spirit stones per jin, which was ten times higher compared to the beginning. How come there’s another change now?”

Liu Xing smiled bitterly and said, “Nowadays, food prices have risen so dramatically that they’re no longer calculated in Star Spirit Stones. A top-quality star weapon with two attributes and a single skill capable of supporting a warrior of ten-thousand尊 strength can only be exchanged for food sufficient for one thousand people for a month. A star treasure capable of enabling a warrior of ten-thousand尊 strength to break through their limits and gain an additional hundred尊 in stellar attributes can only secure food for one thousand people for three months. As for the price of water, it’s even more outrageous—one top-tier star weapon with dual attributes and a single skill can only be exchanged for one thousand liters of clean fresh water.”

Lu Yu was taken aback by Liu Xing’s words and said, “This price is crazy, isn’t it?”

“I think I’m going crazy too. However, this is the current price worldwide now,” Liu Xing said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders. “These are all staple foods, not meat. Because once the apocalypse begins, a large number of wild beasts will definitely appear, so meat won’t be a problem. But at that time, there probably won’t be anyone left to grow crops anymore. As for fruits and the like, their prices will be shocking. Mr. Lu, I’m telling you, it’d be better to just rob people.”

Lu Yu thought for a moment, frowning as he asked, “How many star soldiers with tens of thousands of cultivation points do you still have in your possession?”

Liu Xing flipped open a notebook, searched for a moment, and said, “There are about 5,000 items left. Among them, there are still 162 Star Treasures capable of enabling someone to break through to the realm of ultimate power.”

“What about the armor with attributes below the million-level?”

“There are still one thousand four hundred and thirty-one left.”

Lu Yu said seriously, “Apart from the materials I need, all the materials required for the barrier must be taken, not a single piece left behind.”

Liu Xing listened earnestly and nodded, saying, “I understand.”

Lu Yu is determined to give up everything unnecessary and focus all his energy.

These things they seem not to need are, in the eyes of others, all top-grade items worth a fortune.

Liu Xing thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Lu, there’s one more thing. I think it’s better for you to know about it.”

Lu Yu noticed that Liu Xing’s expression seemed a bit off, and he signaled Liu Xing to just say whatever was on his mind.

“I heard that in the First and Second Realms of Fangang, there’s a kind of medicine being circulated. Once consumed, this medicine can allow one’s strength to break through, becoming extremely powerful. The medicine is most widespread in the Sixth Region, where dozens of people have taken it. Their attributes didn’t merely break through—they seemed to surpass the power of Wangzun. After the enhancement, these humans possessed astonishing strength.”

Liu Xing paused for a moment, then continued, “Now, in response to the Endtime Tide, this kind of medicine has spread not only in the Sixth Region, but also in other regions. Some individuals with a cultivation level of a thousand Juns, after taking it, can rival even the might of a ten-thousand-Jun Sovereign. Moreover, this medicine isn’t only being sold secretly in Fanggang—it’s available in every city across the globe!”

“Tenfold attribute enhancement?” Lu Yu couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing that.

This is even more terrifying than the improvement from the Star-Calling Art. Is this a pill?

“I spent a lot of money to get this bottle from Zone Six. Please check if there is anything wrong with it. My personal intuition tells me that this medicine isn’t as straightforward as it seems!”

Liu Xing took out a syringe as thin as a little finger while speaking.

Inside the syringe, only a thin stream of golden liquid shimmered with a faint glow.

Lu Yu didn’t even need to take the syringe into his hand; the moment he saw it, his face paled in shock as he exclaimed, “So they’ve actually resorted to this method already.”
