My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 81 - - s Looking at the Sky

Territory, in front of the castle.

Several blue light circles lit up, followed by a flash of light, and three figures appeared.

It was Tang Yu and his companions, just returned from Lindong.

Having sent Eileen and Grey Blade away, Tang Yu lay back on the large bed in his room, looking up at the ceiling.

"Ah, three days apart feels like an entire season..."

"There's really something about the feel of this big bed that makes it hard to leave."

Suddenly remembering the clothes he was wearing were dirty, Tang Yu frowned but continued lying down.

After all, the castle had an automatic dust removal and Purification feature, along with various fully and semi-automatic facilities, which would have been a blessing for anyone lazy before the apocalypse.

It's just a pity his laziness was almost cured by the apocalypse.

"I wonder how Lin Wei is doing, whether he's dead or not..."

Despite saying this, Tang Yu knew Lin Wei was definitely not dead.

He had realized from the moment Lin Wei led a group of Awakeners, he had no intention of standing his ground.

Fighting a small instance of Scarlet Hand was tough enough; with Lin Wei's side having more and stronger Awakeners, he wasn't planning on making things difficult for himself.

Better to wait until he had the home field advantage, then he could play however he wanted.

But just walking away... he felt somewhat reluctant.

Fortunately, inside the treasury of the Scarlet Hand, they found a large amount of explosives.

Things just fell into place.

Lin Mingjie became a classic example of being duped.

He rested for a while.

Tang Yu went to the storage room and took out a small box containing Source Crystals.

Looking at the Source Crystal values jumping on the panel, Tang Yu's mood lifted even more.

Life is beautiful because there's money to spend.

To make life even better, one needs to spend someone else's money.

The Source Crystal tally finally stopped at a five-digit number starting with eight.

Seeing this amount of Source Crystals, Tang Yu... fell into contemplation.

It wasn't that he was unhappy, but he felt perhaps his talent for making money was somewhat skewed.

Hunting Demonized Beasts was supposed to be the most legitimate way to earn Source Crystals, but upon reflection, since the establishment of his Territory, the Source Crystals he'd earned from Demonized Beasts might indeed be very few.

Instead, it was several windfalls that became his main source of income.

"This won't do, I must focus on hunting Demonized Beasts, earning Source Crystals, expanding the market, and taking the proper path... How could someone as serious as me have skewed money-making talents? It must be an illusion."

Tang Yu already had several ideas in mind.

Firstly, the Source Crystals definitely needed to be spent.

Over eighty thousand Source Crystals, along with those earned by Luo Zhe leading the Patrol Team in recent days, coupled with the occasional ones from the Territory's defense structures killing Demonized Beasts, all together should amount to around ninety thousand.

This was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.

However, it would also be quickly spent, as upgrading buildings or constructing new ones in the Territory could cost thousands or even tens of thousands, so these tens of thousands of Source Crystals wouldn't last long.

It needed to be spent on key aspects...

"First, we need to upgrade the castle level as many important buildings require a level three castle to unlock..."

More importantly, upgrading the castle would significantly expand the Territory's reach, and based on his estimates, it could spread to the side of the Source Crystal Vein near the back mountain.

He'd long coveted that Source Crystal Mine.

Unfortunately, when he went there with Number One and Number Two, they couldn't gain any advantage.

Even then, the ones that rushed towards them were just a small portion of Demonized Beasts hidden under the giant tree roots. How many Demonized Beasts were actually at the bottom of that pit, Tang Yu could not know.

Even if Number One and Number Two were strong, they couldn't clear them out; moreover, with the base number of Demonized Beasts being high, there would inevitably be many Advanced Demonized Beasts. Referring to the situation around the Abyssal Rift, Tang Yu felt that being able to come back safely last time might really have been just good luck.

And this time, Tang Yu was determined to be fully prepared.

For example, he built a series of defensive structures around the pit.

It was beautiful; he always loved planting defensive structures in front of the enemy's base when playing strategic games.

So...

He summoned the long-unseen system panel and selected the most crucial category, upgrade the castle.

"Ding! Upgrading from a Level 2 Castle to a Level 3 Castle will consume 10,000 units of Source Crystals. Do you wish to upgrade? Yes/No?"

He then confirmed with his thoughts.

The next moment, Tang Yu was startled.

Standing within the castle, he felt no tremors, yet inexplicably, he could sense the castle changing.

The original layout had not altered, but many buildings had been constructed on the exterior of the existing castle, joining together to form a complex of castle structures.

And all this, Tang Yu did not see with his naked eyes; it was as if he was supposed to know it as such.

"Ding! Level 3 Castle, new function unlocked: Remote Control."

[Remote Control: When the Lord is not within the Territory, he can still remotely operate, such as constructing Territory buildings, visiting functional buildings, etc.]

Tang Yu's eyes lit up.

Heaven knows how heartbroken he was for wasting the daily summoning opportunity at the tavern during his days traveling to Lindong... Even though, given the tavern's summoning probability, he couldn't actually summon adventurers to his satisfaction.

But with this function, things would be much more convenient in the future, even though he would mostly be secluded in his Territory. Still, occasionally he needed to go out.

"So, that kind of indistinct perception towards the Territory is the ability of remote control."

Tang Yu examined the Territory map in the system panel and suddenly found that he no longer needed to check through this panel, but by closing his eyes and sensing carefully, the map of the Territory would emerge in his mind.

Including numerous little greenish-yellow dots.

This map was even clearer than before, with some contours of the terrain within the Territory.

Suddenly reminded of something, he moved his thoughts and a crystal ball floated over.

Originally, this crystal ball was used for detection and alert, and it displayed much more detailed images than the Territory map.

And this time...

As he controlled it, the crystal ball lit up, and a scene emerged.

It was no longer a map, but a complete visual, as if viewed from above, covering the entire Territory.

"Looks like I can zoom in a bit more…"

Controlling the perspective to zoom in, Tang Yu saw survivors working, members of the Patrol Team patrolling with firearms, and even spotted a few Demonized Beasts wandering further out.

Through the crystal ball, Tang Yu's gaze could reach every corner of the Territory.

After a full rotation, the lens of the crystal ball returned over the castle.

Tang Yu zoomed in the lens, wanting to fully enjoy the beauty of this castle.

Then...

The lens passed through the castle walls and appeared in a room.

Inside, the air was misty.

Tang Yu was dumbfounded—did this lens also come with a wall-penetrating function?

And what kind of place was this that also came with fog? Was there such a place inside the castle...

His eyes suddenly widened.

It seemed like he could hear the sound of water flowing nearby.

Inside the room, in the bathtub, there was a graceful figure with blue hair and skin whiter than snow.

Tang Yu couldn't help but focus his gaze.

He saw the mist spreading out, blocking his line of sight like a beam of Holy Light, particularly dazzling.

He looked heavenward.
