Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The History of Workers’ Blood and Tears Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The History of Workers’ Blood and Tears System: Accelerating the construction for 1 hour will require 3000 Gold Coins, Wood: 100, Mineral: 100, Quick Silver: 30. Upon activation, the construction period of the checkpoint will reduce by 1 hour. Do you want to activate instant acceleration?

Without any hesitation, Chu You eagerly chose to accelerate.

When the system automatically deducted Chu You’s resources, the countdown timer at the top left corner suddenly went down by an hour, showing 1 day, 06:59:45 remaining.

Can we continue?

If there’s money, of course, we can!!

So, Chu You kept choosing the accelerator. Every time he did so, a system prompt would appear and Chu You would unhesitatingly select confirm, resulting in a steady decrease of his resources.

I may lack many things, but I never lack money!!

As Chu You unremorsefully chose to accelerate, more and more dark shadows appeared on the river surface, each one waving its tentacles rapidly.

The mysterious aura in the river became stronger, evidently activated by Chu You.

Suddenly, the construction site by the river was bustling with activity! Water splashed, and a large amount of mud and sunken wood were quickly scooped up from the bottom of the river by the tentacled monsters. The framework of the checkpoint was quickly set up.

You guys don’t get tired, do you? Come on, let’s go!!

Chu You continued to select the accelerator, and the time progress in the top left corner changed to 21:58:52!

‘Plop’!! A river monster that looked like an octopus vomited on the riverbank, appearing entirely exhausted!

Wow!! That’s so wrong!! Am I abusing these workers??

Damn it, accelerate more!!

When the progress time turned into 14:58:12, a dark shadow monster’s tentacles dropped weakly. It turned over in the river showing its white belly, apparently dead from exhaustion…

System: A Kru Fish Monster died because of you, you received 5987 experience points!

Holy cow!! Can it even be like this!! Chu You was left speechless looking at his rising experience points.

After the death of the octopus monster, another immediately took its place and continued with the construction.

Soon, the outline of the checkpoint was gradually perfected by the builders. At a rate unimaginable to a normal person, a large and majestic checkpoint arose at the river intersection.

More and more Kru Fish Monsters were turning over on their white bellies. Chu You’s experience points were steadily and silently increasing.

I have to say, I’m not some kind of exploitative boss. Don’t you guys know when to rest? Get someone else to cover for you. Can’t you work in shifts!!

When the time progress changed to 5:57:43, the river monsters started using magic. They began enchanting the checkpoint, injecting a large amount of magic power to increase its resilience against natural disasters, rapidly boosting its defense.

Chu You knew that the higher a building’s defense, the harder it is for players and experience monsters to deal damage.

When Chu You accelerated the time to 1:56:52, several cannons appeared on the checkpoint, and the functions of guarding against enemies were also added.

After accelerating twice more, this majestic checkpoint was finished in a total of four minutes by Chu You!

Ha ha ha, buildings constructed by me guarantee both speed and quality, I’m definitely the best!

Looking at the completed majestic checkpoint, Chu You felt satisfied. Although it was built on the sweat and tears of the workers, it didn’t affect Chu You’s mood. Behind every grand project are hidden scandals!

System: Please name this new checkpoint!

Ha ha ha, there’s naming rights? Good, very good!

Chu You thought for a moment, then said, “Name it: Night Gate Checkpoint!”

System: Congratulations on your successful naming. Once players explore this area, the name of the checkpoint will appear on their maps. It will also affect the geographical names related to the task content!

At that moment, a tall stele emerged from the ground, standing there. It read: Night Gate Checkpoint, Builder: Night Ghost!

Upon seeing this, Chu You immediately opened his map, and saw a location named “Night Gate Checkpoint” appear on it.

System: Congratulations on completing the checkpoint construction task. You have entered the third stage of the task. Report the situation at the Interceptor Camp to the camp leader and escort the troops to station at the Night Gate Checkpoint.

Look, the checkpoint’s name appeared in the task content.

Very well, after reopening the map, Chu You began the third stage of the task, which was also the last part. After completing it, he would have to return to the royal city to turn in the task.

As for the Destroyer warned by the system, ha ha, how can there be a destroyer when the checkpoint task has been completed?

After confirming the location, Chu You once again boarded his warship and sailed south. The destination, the camp, was near the river. It was much quicker by water. If he had chosen to go by land, complex terrains would increase the travel time, and he might encounter the roaming Beast Race.

It’s so convenient to have a ship.

…

“Night Ghost, the situation with the Falling Flowers Guild is special, should we charge them a fee to join the United War Alliance?” Zhao Feiyan sent a voice message to Chu You.

Having heard this, Chu You thought for a while and nodded, “There’s no need for them. They can join directly.”

The situation with the Falling Flowers Guild is indeed special. It is initially an ally of Chu You and they already paid 100,000 gold coins each month. If a joining fee of 300,000 gold coins is imposed upon joining the United War Alliance, that would be exorbitant.

“Have you started acting?” Chu You asked. Since Zhao Feiyan brought up the matter, it seemed that establishing the United War Alliance was already underway.

“Mmm… we’re just contacting. I listed a few major guilds in Yan Kingdom, a total of 7, all of which are at full strength and are Third Level Guilds. I plan to reach out to them first. If they all agree, it won’t be difficult for us to unite all forces within Yan Kingdom.” If the major guilds join the United War Alliance, the small minion guilds won’t be able to stand even a chance.

“Hmm, you handle it anyway. Once we become the governing guild, we’ll have the power to kill!” Chu You said indifferently. His heart, but, was full of cold laughter. With the effect of the governing guild attribute, what’s there to worry about malicious attacks?

“Governing guild? What’s that?” Zhao Feiyan asked, completely unfamiliar with the term.

“You’ll see soon, there’s too much to explain now. I can only tell you that it’s very, very powerful. I’m providing these details in advance to enable you to work with more confidence, just go on!”

Hearing the confidence in Night Ghost’s voice, Zhao Feiyan felt that the so-called governing guild mentioned by Night Ghost must be unimaginably powerful. Who is Night Ghost? Even he attaches so much importance to it and reveals such strong self-confidence, its functions must be extraordinary!

Dad, maybe it’s time for your daughter to have a serious talk with you…

The Chiyou One Warship under Chu You gradually sailed into the target area. The location of the Interceptor Camp is inside the Beast Race border. It is close to the Xuan River in the south, which is the front line for the Human Tribe to spy on the Beast Race.

There are many military officers issuing tasks at the Interceptor Camp. Most players from Yan Country who initially come to the Beast Race area would come here and accept tasks. The experience points and rewards provided are quite substantial.

Before long, Chu You saw the Human Tribe’s watchtower from afar.

System: You have entered the Interceptor Military Camp Area!
