Lei Xiu looked at Sea Bloom, who was happily playing with Mo Wen and the others, and a smile appeared on his face. It was true that Sea Bloom’s cute appearance was too likable. He didn’t expect such a small body to actually contain such a huge amount of energy.
Of course, Lei Xiu did not forget to reflect on the day’s events.
It was too dangerous this time. If Mo Nian, Mo Wen, and the others had not arrived in time, the Ocean Tree that he had painstakingly planted would have been snatched away by someone else.
“Sea Bloom! Can you show us your magic?” Lei Xiu asked curiously. He really wanted to know the power of this legendary Sea Spirit.
“Yes, Master!” Sea Bloom replied.
With a wave of her hand, she clenched her hand into a fist. Immediately, a strange suction force burst forth from it.. The surrounding seawater rolled back and formed a small whirlpool at Sea Bloom’s fist. Although the whirlpool looked very small, one could sense that the energy hidden in the whirlpool was huge.
The whirlpool took shape in the blink of an eye. Sea Bloom pushed her small hand forward and the whirlpool flew out of her hand, rushing forward at an unbelievable speed.
“Boom…”
The sound of collision rang out as the vortex collided with the Black Essence Rock in front of it. The seabed shook and circular energy ripples spread out.
Lei Xiu and the others focused their attention and looked forward. They discovered that a huge crack had appeared on the surface of the Black Essence Rock! This whirlpool was even more powerful than the underwater water cannon tower!
“Too strong! As expected of the legendary creature… a natural mage!” Lei Xiu muttered as he looked at the result.
“Master! My magic can only be used three times a day.” At that moment, Sea Bloom’s voice sounded, pulling Lei Xiu back into reality.
“Is that so… that’s a pity… but it’s also true. If such a powerful magic could be used unlimitedly, then the Sea Spirits would not have gone extinct.” Lei Xiu couldn’t help but sigh in pity.
“Looks like I still need to build some defensive structures to help the Sea Spirits grow!” Lei Xiu muttered to himself.
[Ding! Main mission: Host, please rebuild the Ocean Tree Ranch. Mission completion: 30 experience points and 10,000 gold coins.]
At this moment, the system’s voice sounded.
Hence, Lei Xiu turned on the system and looked through it carefully. He planned to build a few more underwater turrets. There were too few underwater turrets now, and they would enter a cooling period after each launch. This was unacceptable to Lei Xiu. He had to ensure that there were at least six underwater turrets firing at any time.
Lei Xiu tapped a few times with his hands, planning to build twenty-four underwater water turrets.
He saw the gold coins in the inventory rapidly flowing away. In the blink of an eye, there were only four to five thousand gold coins left. This time, he had spent tens of thousands of gold coins to build the underwater turret, but it was all worth it.
The time it took to build the underwater turret was four hours. During this period of time, Lei xiu did not stay idle. Instead, he was thinking about whether there was anything he needed to improve on in the Ocean Tree Ranch.
Just as Lei Xiu was deep in thought, Mo Wen walked over and suggested softly, “Island Master! I think we can build a building here and Mermaid Island that can transmit information to each other. This way, we can quickly find out what is happening.”
“Yes! Why didn’t I think of that? Hahahaha, Mo Wen, you’re really too smart!” Lei Xiu’s eyes lit up when he heard that. Then, he hurriedly turned on the system and looked towards the Ocean Tree Ranch.
“There really is such a building!” Lei Xiu shouted happily.
This building was called the information tower. As its name implied, it was used to transmit messages. However, its only flaw was that this information tower was very fragile. As long as it was attacked, the signal would be unstable and the information would naturally be unable to be transmitted.
The only way to solve this problem was to send people to guard the information tower. Fortunately, this information tower really needed someone to operate it.
Thus, Lei Xiu’s hands tapped a few more times, and then a rumbling sound instantly resounded from an open space beside the Ocean Tree. Obviously, the construction of the information tower was underway, and the time required to build this information tower was four hours. Moreover, the gold coins required were a large sum of 2,000 gold coins!
“I’m too poor!” Lei Xiu sighed.
He only had 2,000 gold coins left. Lei Xiu initially thought that his gold coins would never run out. But looking at his inventory now, it was upsetting. In the future, he would have to spend his gold coins sparingly. The more gold coins he had, the more he had to lose!
Lei Xiu began a long wait…
Fortunately, there was an additional Sea Spirit now. Everyone liked her very much, so it was not too boring.
Time quietly passed amidst the laughter of Lei Xiu and the others.
Four hours passed quickly.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully building the Ocean Tree Ranch. You have received 30 experience points and 10,000 gold coins]
The system’s voice sounded again.
“Finally! With these underwater turrets, we don’t have to worry about the invasion of the undersea creatures!” Lei Xiu looked at the 26 additional underwater turrets around him and smiled even wider.
“Congratulations, Island Master!” Mo Nian had already regained consciousness and came to Lei Xiu’s side. He looked at the buildings around the Ocean Tree and said happily.
“Mo Nian? You’re awake? How are you? Do you feel any discomfort?” Lei Xiu saw that it was Mo Nian and immediately greeted her with concern.
“Thank you for your concern, Island Master. I’m fine now!” Mo Nian smiled and said.
“That’s good, that’s good!” Lei Xiu replied.
“The information tower has been built. Let’s go take a look!” Lei Xiu turned around and said to Mo Nian and the rest.
“Yes, Island Master!”
Hence, the group of mermaids followed Lei Xiu to the information tower. It was a spherical building with a panel inside. This panel was like a huge map. Under the panel were two buttons—add and delete.
There was also a character identification system and a guardian system in the surroundings. It could automatically differentiate between an enemy and a friend that had already been verified. Once an enemy infiltrated the place, this system would automatically trigger the guardian system to attack the enemy that had infiltrated!
Although the Guardian System’s weapon was not very powerful and could only pose a threat to low-level Rank One creatures, it could be upgraded! As long as it was upgraded, the weapon’s power would increase!
“This is too advanced! This is awesome!” Lei Xiu looked at the surrounding system and danced with joy.
After that, Lei Xiu hurried over to the map panel. After the construction of this information tower had been completed, the system had already told him about its usage and other things to take note of.
Lei Xiu’s finger tapped a few times on the map interface. Instantly, a map of Mermaid Island appeared on the map. In the middle of this map was a light spot. Lei Xiu knew from the system that this light spot was the location of the information tower’s construction.
Hence, when he clicked on the light spot, a notification appeared on the interface. Lei Xiu decisively clicked on it. After spending 2,000 gold coins, the light spot instantly turned from white to red.
When it turned completely red, Lei Xiu knew that the information tower on Mermaid Island had been successfully built!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully building Mermaid Island. You have received 10 experience points, and 1000 gold coins.]
As expected, the system’s voice sounded, indicating that the information tower on Mermaid Island had been successfully constructed!
“In the future, we’ll be able to communicate with each other on Mermaid Island!” Lei Xiu said happily.
“Island Master! Since you can send messages, can you send a successor over? This way, when there is danger, they can provide timely assistance! Then, what happened before won’t happen again!” At this moment, Mo Wen came to Lei Xiu’s side.
When Lei Xiu heard this, he immediately opened the system and checked the Ocean Tree panel to see if there was such a thing.
After checking it out, he discovered that there was something called a transmission array! Its function was to transport people and objects, so as to allow the rapid transmission between places!
Just as Lei Xiu was about to happily build the Teleportation Array, he suddenly realized that the construction of the Teleportation Array required 10,000 gold coins! Furthermore, each time the Teleportation Array was used to transport people or objects, it required 100 gold coins to activate. One person or item would require 100 gold coins!
