CHAPTER 170: CHAPTER 170: SUMMONING FOLLOWERS, MIST-SHROUDED MANOR

Just like Zhang Ruiqi told Lin Ye during the day, such a large manor truly needs people to manage it.

So Lin Ye indeed needs to find a group of servants to help him manage this manor.

However, Lin Ye inevitably can’t fully trust the outsiders he recruits.

Therefore, the best choice is undoubtedly people completely under his control.

For example, the Macondo residents who chose to submit to Lin Ye are the best choice for him!

Or Lin Ye’s combat pet, that Level 30 Swamp Giant Dragon.

Having a dragon guard the entrance in the settlement is indeed quite an impressive thing.

But considering this manor is some distance from the true city center, and the Swamp Giant Dragon can shroud the area in mist, it’s indeed an excellent choice for a guard.

After all, a Level 30 dragon, with some combat ability below Level 40, will soon be left behind by Lin Ye’s progress, so it’s not a huge waste to use it for guarding.

One could even say that using it for guarding is the perfect choice.

Lin Ye activated the Practical Visualization Device, on the surface of which appeared all sorts of strange patterns, and Lin Ye began to operate it as instructed.

The activity range of the units visualized by this device is only within a hundred meters centered on the manor.

But that’s completely sufficient.

"Swamp Giant Dragon..."

The next moment, Lin Ye directly visualized the dragon.

Luckily, the manor’s area is not small, and the gardens outside can accommodate such a dragon.

With a wave of spatial distortion, a large shadow appeared in the garden outside the villa...

The Swamp Giant Dragon raised its head in confusion, looking around with its huge eyes full of bewilderment.

It also didn’t know why it suddenly appeared in this place.

"Dahuang, you’ll be responsible for guarding the entrance from now on!"

As the Swamp Giant Dragon was confused, it heard a familiar voice.

Lin Ye somehow had already appeared beside it.

Dahuang, the Swamp Giant Dragon, immediately wagged its tail, laying down and eagerly rubbing its big head against Lin Ye’s body.

Lin Ye laughed and patted Dahuang’s big head, feeling as if he were raising a big dog.

"That’s enough!"

Lin Ye patted Dahuang for a while before he stopped.

Dahuang then sat with its tail curled, its height towering over the nearby large villa.

In the night, it looked like a small dark mountain from afar.

"There’s no problem enveloping this manor in mist, right?" Lin Ye asked.

Dahuang nodded, this was no difficult task for him.

"Good! Then I’ll leave this task to you," Lin Ye said.

After all, this manor, along with the surrounding land plots, was already under his name, so as long as it didn’t affect others, no one could control what he did here.

"Hoo!"

Dahuang took a deep breath and exhaled a large amount of mist toward the sky, gradually spreading it around.

Outside the manor, a dense ring of mist formed, directly blocking outside prying eyes.

Moreover, if anyone stepped into the mist, Dahuang could detect it immediately and notify Lin Ye at once.

Most crucially, this form of notification far exceeded any human technological means of communication!

No matter where Lin Ye was, how far the distance, or even if he was within the Secret Realm, he could receive Dahuang’s warning!

This is what mattered most.

Otherwise, Lin Ye wouldn’t have gone to such great lengths to acquire a Practical Visualization Device that seemed to be of little use to him.

Such a method was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Because it first required a combat pet with high intelligence, which was already beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Highly intelligent combat pets aren’t easily tamed.

Ordinary monsters at most have strong combat instincts and can only assist their masters in battle.

Intelligent creatures like dragons are rare, and unless you have overwhelming power, they won’t easily submit.

"Alright, go to sleep!"

Lin Ye looked around and gave the order.

"Roar roar!"

Dahuang nodded, sensing that this place was very safe and perfect for a good sleep!

After settling Dahuang, Lin Ye stepped into a spatial rift and in the next moment returned to his room.

"Summoning a few people over will do it."

Lin Ye used the Practical Visualization Device to summon several Macondo Town residents to manage all the affairs within the manor.

As compensation, Lin Ye allowed them to be exempt from labor for a period when they were returned to Macondo.

Meanwhile, Macondo Town, under the construction of residents relocated from Stratholme, had restored to a bustling, lively state from a Ruined Town.

The residents were farming, gathering, and hunting, and given time, they could absolutely achieve self-sufficiency.

The only surprise to Lin Ye was that under the exploration of self-organized exploration teams by residents, the foggy areas Lin Ye couldn’t enter were illuminated one by one.

The original ’Ruined Town,’ now Macondo Town, expanded four to five times its initial size under the exploration teams’ exploration.

But when the exploration team wished to continue exploring, Lin Ye called them to stop.

For some reason, Lin Ye always felt that those areas shrouded in fog might not be as harmless as the residents thought.

Anyway, the current area was already more than enough to accommodate plenty of residents, so there was no rush to explore other areas.

With everything arranged, Lin Ye went to sleep soundly.

Next, he had to prepare for the job transfer, and indeed needed a good rest and to gather energy.

...

The next day, a piece of news suddenly became a hot topic across all information channels.

Anyone who wasn’t completely disconnected from social interaction knew a piece of news shortly after waking up from various channels.

"What the hell? Lin Ye is already Level 30 and ready for a Second Transformation?"

"It took me a full five years to successfully have a Second Transformation, what’s going on?"

"Achieving a Second Transformation in just three months... I’m discouraged."

"Whimper... Comparing oneself to others leads to anger!"

Across various channels, almost all the headlines involved words like ’genius,’ ’transformation,’ and ’just three months.’

And without exception, the main character was Lin Ye!

At this moment, Lin Ye was enjoying the breakfast prepared by his attendants, watching the news with genuine admiration for the Kong Family’s efficiency!

In just one night, they had already hyped up about his preparation for the job transfer.

So now, the pressure was on the Church Court’s side.
