CHAPTER 650: CHAPTER 279: YOU INTEGRATES INTO THE HIVE (6K)

Three days later, territory’s original site

Personnel were arranged to thoroughly clean all the tree houses within the territory, leaving it cleaner than ever before.

Centering on You’s original site, an area with a radius of three kilometers has now been completely cleared, including the banyan forests which have all been relocated — as tree-men, they absolutely have this ability.

If we’re going to clear and rebuild, let’s do it thoroughly; all the original buildings have been removed.

It wasn’t until we cleaned up that we realized how many ancient remnants we had at home.

This includes, but is not limited to, early constructions like workshops and barracks buildings, and Bai Yi even found abandoned relics hidden in trees like signal stations and kitchens.

Bai Yi was surprised to find them; they hadn’t been demolished or upgraded but had been hidden in the treetops by You all along.

If it weren’t for this battle, You might have kept hiding them.

Bai Yi became interested and, after relocating these buildings, used the building upgrade feature on her panel which she seldom used to upgrade them.

Anyway, there are plenty of materials now, so she tossed whatever she had in and ended up creating two decent buildings.

One of the initially mere telegraph signal stations was reinforced with materials and transformed into a signal tower that could provide a network node for mechanical units within a certain range to communicate with each other and offer a certain amount of magic power recovery.

It can’t be said to be profoundly significant; it’s only of limited use.

Her subordinates aren’t purely mechanical units, and the mechanical brain worms and insect swarm under her command already have a network, so this is unnecessary.

She can understand this result since it was fundamentally a building on the mechanical technology side, and the materials invested were all kinds of mechanical and array modules.

However, she came up with a unique idea, trying to throw in a piece of fungus blanket and other biological materials.

Initially, she was just attempting to see if it could adapt, and the capability of the panel turned out to be more powerful than she imagined.

[Crimson Signal Tower (Tier Six/Gold): Special large fungus blanket building, must be built atop a fungus blanket, can provide "Dense Network" connection within ten kilometers range; for each signal tower present in the same fungus blanket, connection range increases by one kilometer, up to a maximum of fifty kilometers]

It lost its original ability to provide magic power recovery, but the effect was changed to effective networking for her, allowing ultra-long-distance network signal connection.

For her, this effect carries a different significance.

The network she painstakingly constructed is based on the individual of each group under her command, established by each organism.

But the power of a single organism is limited; each entity can only connect with targets within a certain range, which usually doesn’t exceed a kilometer.

This was the initial purpose she cultivated fungus blankets for — as a "wired" channel to transmit signals.

Yet as she grows, even expanding into outer space, this wired channel is somewhat inadequate; now this signal tower complements it nicely.

Although it cannot directly communicate with the Star Ring in outer space just yet, it’s a great beginning.

If the distance isn’t enough, it’s simply a matter of insufficient power!

As a type of biological architecture, this is her area of expertise.

Isn’t it just insufficient values?

She’s professional in adding value points to organisms!

Even though this signal tower is important, it still takes a back seat in the presence of You.

The expansive cleared land now is specially prepared for You’s enhanced form.

A full three thousand meters in radius, this vast land is naturally prepared due to such a demand.

Just as she said, she’s professional in adding points to organisms.

This time, You’s promotion is mainly divided by Bai Yi into two phases: the advancement of the body, and the advancement of the relic.

The latter is a relic You fused a long time ago, similar to her [Forest Elf], which can be enhanced using abnormality upgrade mediums.

After ascending to the Seventh Rank, You’s capabilities climbed again. This time, You’s power strength wasn’t significantly increased, but the diversity and application range expanded considerably.

If not for pursuing the magic power convergence effect, at most, it can almost reach the Star Ring.

But these are just the basics of the Seventh Rank; the real core improvement lies in the additional ability named the Magic Source.

To describe this ability, it’s simple to explain: it merely uses the owner as a basis, akin to magic fusion, directly giving birth to magic power and turning oneself into an endless source of magic power.

And relying on this core ability, some of You’s original capabilities have consequently changed.

The ability to control and transfer magic power has now been modified to directly increase the magic power concentration in some areas.

This enhancement is based on naturally occurring magic power in the environment; if the original magic power concentration boost was an increase in skill multiplier, now it’s directly an increase in baseline values!

With this ability, it’s foreseeable that it can definitely alleviate magic power supply pressure within the territory.

Regarding You’s own advancement, Bai Yi is already very experienced.

During these three days, Bai Yi mainly relied on multiple avatars to upgrade You, promoting her to the Seventh Rank.

During this period, she continuously added and enhanced You’s genes, using the genes acquired from the starry sky, which hadn’t been used on You before, perfectly fitting this time.
