Chapter 236 Territory Shrunk

Li Ge was enjoying the drama in front of him when he was suddenly stunned.

"I have something going on and I need to retreat."

"You guys can continue watching the show."

"Be careful, drive carefully and don't let someone catch up from behind."

After saying that, Li Ge got back into the car without looking back.

The remaining people looked at each other.

"Retreat again? How long?" Huang Huang asked curiously.

Su Zeqing remembered the last time Li Ge went into seclusion, and replied rather hesitantly: "Maybe... for a while."

…

The reason why Li Ge suddenly retreated into seclusion was because a systematic reminder sounded in his ears.

Now, the energy gained is enough to upgrade the Kingdom of Life to the next level.

This was a few days later than expected.

Because along the way, Li Ge has been constantly conquering the people.

Today, the number of citizens has exceeded the 3,000 mark and is heading towards 4,000.

However, forcibly conquering the people requires a lot of energy.

In particular, Li Ge is very wealthy and powerful in conquering the people this time. He just wants to be quickest regardless of the cost.

Therefore, even if there is a return of energy at the moment of conquest, it cannot make up for the previous losses.

Originally, it was planned to upgrade the Kingdom of Life to level six in seven or eight days, but now it actually took half a month.

…

"Obviously, Qingzhou City needs land more than Wuxingshan now."

Li Ge thought to himself, and returned to Qingzhou City directly in the form of his soul body, and began to strengthen the land volume.

After a few days of absence, Qingzhou City gave Li Ge another big surprise.

"These military people... are treasures!"

Li Ge discovered that there were countless energetic people busy in the fringe areas of Qingzhou City.

According to system statistics, the number of this group of people is around 5,000. Their average energy is extremely high, and they are probably all experts who have entered level 8 or above! And all of them have experienced hundreds of battles, and their eyes are shining.

"Sure enough, all the outstanding talents are in the official department."

Li Ge sighed, conveniently controlling the land of the Kingdom of Life, covering all their activities.

On the other side, the land spreads toward the sea.

The ocean is a place Li Ge has coveted for a long time.

A volume of 600,000 cubic meters of land was poured directly into the sea, heading straight towards the deep sea.

From the warm and bright offshore sea to the cold and deep deep sea.

Li Ge was surprised by the density and colorfulness of the biota in the sea, and was even more shocked by the world that was completely different from the world above the water.

In an instant, Li Ge had many thoughts that passed by in a flash.

"I always feel that...the various skills of the Kingdom of Life can turn this seabed upside down..."

Li Ge murmured to himself as his soul quickly shuttled across the sea floor, patrolling his own territory.

Although there are many living creatures on the seabed, the gathering of intelligent creatures is not dense.

Li Ge was making a psychological assessment while patrolling quickly.

In the shallow sea, most of them are citizens of the Kingdom of Life.

All of them are intelligent creatures, although in terms of IQ, they are still relatively clumsy.

But the reason why they can live in peace is because they are restrained by the Kingdom of Life, so they will not kill each other.

But in the deep sea, intelligent creatures are relatively sparsely distributed.

Every creature that has evolved intelligence has its own territory, and under normal circumstances, they will never leave it easily.

Li Ge was patrolling when, suddenly, a system prompt sounded in his ears.

"The territory is upgraded to LV6, new skills are acquired, and material movement is achieved."

In an instant, Li Ge felt that the area he controlled had more than doubled.

Li Ge felt this feeling carefully and murmured to himself: "Is this... an upgraded version of airspace control?"

In addition to the local land, the expanded surrounding areas have become more solid, and Li Ge's control over them has become more detailed.

At this moment, Li Ge could even feel the people of Qingzhou City walking and jumping on the land.

You can feel the movements of farmers shoveling on the ground with hoe after hoe.

You can feel the turbulent undercurrent of the sea brushing against the land, and feel the flexible tail swaying of the fish.

…

The seabed is as quiet as ever.

However, if anyone could see the direction of the sea water flow, they would be shocked.

There is a stream of sea water flowing in an extremely abnormal reverse direction.

They are like rebels among the crowd, so unique.

The counter current is close to the bottom of the sea and is only about two meters high.

The creatures trapped in it fled in panic.

"Sure enough... it's an upgraded version of airspace control."

Li Ge nodded secretly.

Originally, airspace control could only control gases.

As for material movement, liquids and solids within the same range can be controlled.

And this countercurrent sea water was firmly bound by Li Ge's mental power, and was forcibly pulled in the opposite direction.

Li Ge relaxed his mental strength, and the flow of sea water at the bottom returned to normal in an instant.

Suddenly, Li Ge became playful.

"Being able to move out of thin air means that I can finally perform more detailed processing on those metal and rock products."

"How about...building a house?"

Li Ge murmured to himself.

"If I leave a building on the seabed, I wonder what humans will do when they discover it in the future?"

At the bottom of the sea, pieces of flat ground were turned into rocks.

These pieces of rock were moved out of thin air and combined to form a rectangular mold.

The earth of the kingdom of life is infused and then metalized.

One after another, irregular metal bricks are formed, arranged to look like a simple house.

Finally, the soil of the Kingdom of Life poured the gaps and connected them into one through metallization skills.

Completed.

One after another similar small houses emerged from scratch on the seabed, until...

"Failed to use the skill." A prompt sounded in Li Ge's ear.

"What?" Li Ge, who was in high spirits, was stunned for a moment.

Li Ge frowned: "What's going on?!"

"Uh... let me see." The system was not sure.

The system paused for a while and suddenly made a fuss.

"Ah! Host, you have shrunk!"

"Shrinking? What a mess!"

"Host, the land in the Kingdom of Life is decreasing! The 10 million lands that were just strengthened are now only 9999999.9! It's not enough to reach 10 million, so it's downgraded!"

Li Ge was about to interrupt, but the system was suddenly startled: "System, when you said you wanted to go into the sea, I felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the Kingdom of Life is still not suitable for being in the sea! Look, it has shrunk!"

Li Ge: "..."

——I’ve heard of clothes shrinking, but I’ve never heard of land shrinking!

The system was still nagging on the side: "The surface soil must have been washed away by the water flow. That's not right... It stands to reason that this kind of situation would not have happened before. Could it be that the mastermind has played a trick on me?"

"You mean... there is a bug in the system, so the land is lost?" Li Ge asked.

System: "About maybe 80% possible..."

"Okay." Li Ge interrupted, "It shouldn't be shrinking."

The land of the Kingdom of Life is actually the domain controlled by Li Ge's soul and faith value after being integrated through the operation of the system.

Land is just a carrier, and the system is the intermediary.

If there is a problem with the intermediary, at most it will be some failure during the expansion process. Even if the transaction is completed without any reason, it will be affected by the intermediary.

Li Ge can let his soul realm travel through the land at will.

Just like a glass, it just needs to be filled with water.

As long as Li Ge is willing, he can change the water into tea, and then the tea into Coke.

But no matter what it is, as long as it enters this cup, it can become a sweet spring and jade dew that nourishes all things.

It is impossible for the floating soil to be blown away, resulting in the reduction of the size of the Kingdom of Life.

When this happens, there is only one possibility.

——Li Ge's cup was corroded, or in other words, something took away the faith value and soul power in the land while Li Ge was not paying attention.

"System, can you tell where the land was lost?"

"This...how can we know this!" The voice of the system was extremely frustrated, "The kingdom of life has no fixed shape. If the land is lost, it is lost, and there is no gap at all."

"……All right."

Li Ge let out a long sigh.

Come to think of it, who can detect the loss of 0.1 cubic meters of land out of 10 million cubic meters?

No, after a while, it was already 0.5.

In this case, we can only use stupid methods.

…

Tens of millions of cubic meters of land were adjusted by Li Ge into a square shape.

In this way, as long as there are irregular gaps, they will be detected.

At the same time, all the citizens and contractors mobilized to check for possible abnormalities.

However, everything was calm.

Now, Li Ge can only wait.

Wait until enough land is lost or the enemy reveals any flaw.

…

Yao Wenmao was driven by a helpless bump in a moving vehicle.

Along the way, relying on a wide range of psychic detectors and his mouse-like hiding skills, he was able to move forward gently twisting and turning between strong psychic fluctuations one after another.

In front of him was an unfolded map.

In the center of this map, another place is marked with a red triangle.

Wuhang Mountain, the source of all variation.

Yao Wenmao was crying and sad at this time.

"I think the second uncle just wants me to die!"

"Don't think so, Second Young Master!" Beside him, a man as fat as a ball nodded and bowed to comfort him.

This fat man's surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Gou.

As his name suggests, he is a very good flatterer.

Although this person was not very strong, he was regarded as his right-hand man by Yao Wenmao because of his ability to flatter him, and he was brought here from Qingzhou City.

"I think this mission is not difficult. It's just to be a monster that escaped from the group. It is said that the fish monster was just an ornamental fish. By chance, it swallowed the blood stone and turned into a monster. Yeah. Come to think of it, I don’t have much talent!” Zhang Gou mumbled.

Yao Wenmao glared at him: "You have no ability?"

"A fish out of water can run thousands of miles on its own. Do you call this incompetent?"

"That thing is much more capable than a loser like you!"
