Spellcasting is a permanent addition and my skills are all forbidden spells.

Along with this system prompt.

The protective shield covering the settlement expanded again!

The light film returned to light green, expanded, and grew several circles in the blink of an eye!

The settlement area has doubled again!

"Rumble..."

There was a sudden tremor all around.

Many areas originally infested by monsters have been transformed into safe areas.

Looking at this scene, everyone was a little shocked.

It's too fast. It wasn't long ago that the settlement was upgraded last time.

In just one night's work, he was promoted to another level!

"Hahaha! It's so cool to be protected by a big guy!"

"Two points of full attributes again, boss Lu Cheng is awesome!"

"My settlement panel has changed, and new features have been unlocked!"

Everyone was extremely excited and talking about it.

At the same time, many people checked the panel for the first time.

"The protective shield has been upgraded! The monsters it can resist have become level 25!"

"Other functions have also been upgraded! There are a lot more things in the redemption list!"

"That house in the building function requires a thousand Origin Stone fragments? Isn't it too expensive?"

"What does this belief function mean? Why does it always show that it is unlocked?"

Many people in the chat channel were very enthusiastic.

They all noticed the panel changes.

After the upgrade, the original functions have new uses.

Also unlocked several new features!

Suddenly, everyone started studying it.

"Hey, the name of the dialogue function has changed?"

Wei Meng looked at the panel and was suddenly surprised.

He saw that in the settlement panel, the original [Dialogue] turned into [Communication].

[Settlement function: communication]

[Within ten kilometers of the settlement, you can drive the light curtain to communicate remotely through your mind. 】

"Ten kilometers? This is good!"

After seeing the content clearly, Wei Meng was overjoyed.

The previous chat channel cannot be used outside the settlement range.

When he goes out to hunt monsters, he always misses a lot of news.

Now that the range has been expanded to ten kilometers, it is much more convenient!

You can even use the communication function to call for help when you are in danger!

Wei Meng continued to look.

There is another introduction to the communication function.

[Can connect to other settlement chat channels. 】

[Connection conditions: The settlement reaches level 2 and is within the search radius. 】

"Um??"

Wei Meng's eyes suddenly widened.

Doesn’t this mean that you can contact other people?

As he cast his thoughts, a circular area appeared in front of him, scanning like a radar.

However, after scanning a few times, there was not a single green dot on the screen.

[There are no eligible settlements within a hundred kilometers of the surrounding area. 】

System prompts rang in his mind.

"What? The search radius is one hundred kilometers??"

Wei Meng's eyes widened and he was shocked.

He was a truck driver before the disaster, so he knew how big the range of a hundred kilometers was.

A circle with a radius of one hundred kilometers is larger than many provinces in Daxia!

But in such a large area, there is no second level 2 settlement!

"Huh... yes!"

Wei Meng let out a long breath and regained his composure.

"Not every settlement can have a boss as awesome as Lu Shen!"

…

at the same time.

A system prompt rang in Lu Cheng's ears.

[Ding, you have the qualifications of acting city lord, the settlement level is improved, and you get attribute feedback! 】

[You get +20 free attribute points! 】

A beam of light shone down, and Lu Cheng's attribute points increased.

Bathed in the brilliance, Lu Cheng's expression was calm.

Now that the settlement has just started, this reward is nothing.

When you are promoted to a city, the rewards will be truly generous!

At the same time, system prompts kept ringing in his ears.

[The protective cover function has been upgraded. You have control authority and can authorize it to others! 】

【Storage function unlocked, your storage space will gain extra volume! 】

[The building function is unlocked. When a building is completed, you will get a feedback bonus! 】

【……】

Listening to the system prompts, Lu Cheng was in a good mood.

He is very familiar with these settlement functions.

But at that time, they were just ordinary members.

But now, with the blessing of acting city lord qualifications, he has privileges in many functions!

Just like the storage function.

After the storage function is unlocked, each settlement member can activate the storage space.

The storage space is not large, only one cubic meter.

It is the same as the secret magic ring before upgrading.

However, his is different!

Lu Cheng thought, and the storage space opened.

His storage space is much larger than others, with a length and width of ten meters!

This is an additional reward for becoming an agent city leader!

"good."

One hundred cubic meters of space is enough for him to use for a long time.

Turning off the storage space, Lu Cheng glanced at each function.

[Exchange] [Communication] [Building]...

After glancing at the communication function, Lu Cheng raised his eyes.

In previous lives, it was by relying on this function that large-scale communications were gradually restored in the human world.

But now, this function is not available.

To be connected, other settlements must be at level 2.

Then, Lu Cheng turned his attention to architectural functions.

…

[Residence: a single-person residence, within the residence, the status recovery speed increases. Each person is limited to one, which provides permanent bonuses. 】

[When you build a house, you can get +5 free attribute points and +1 for all attributes. It requires 1,000 source stone crystals to build. Providing materials can reduce the cost. 】

[Watch Tower: A defensive building that can provide combat status bonus. 】

[When fighting on the sentry tower, you will get double the field of vision, all attributes +5, and the construction requires 10,000 source stone crystals. Providing materials can reduce the cost. 】

…

From the perspective of others, these are the only two options on the building page.

However, there are two more lines on Lu Cheng's page!

[Every time a house is built, you get +1 free attribute point. 】

[Every time a sentry tower is built, you gain all attributes +1. 】

After a quick glance, Lu Cheng was very satisfied.

Now, he is just the acting city lord.

This benefit is constantly revealed.

Every time a house is built, he can get a free attribute point as feedback!

"If this could be superimposed infinitely..."

Lu Cheng thought for a while.

But then, he shook his head.

The feedback of this kind of attribute points is similar to the Spire of Ten Thousand Methods, and naturally has an upper limit.

Before the city is completed, the upper limit of feedback for residential buildings is 100.

As the settlement upgrades, the upper limit will continue to increase!

Thinking of this, Lu Cheng was looking forward to it.

In the previous life, it was the late stage of the catastrophe.

The city lords of the major cities are undoubtedly the top combat power.

The source of their combat power is the feedback provided by the city!

With the huge amount of feedback, even without high-level talents and job transfers, they are still something that cannot be underestimated!

After thinking for a moment, Lu Cheng shook his head slightly.

Then, he took out a lot of Origin Stone fragments.

[Ding, you have consumed 1,000 source stone crystals and started building a house. 】

The system prompt sounded, and the Origin Stone fragments were enveloped in brilliance.

A thousand Origin Stone fragments are the highest price, so there is no need to provide materials.

After a while, the glory retreated.

In front of them, a wooden hut rose from the ground.

[Ding, you built a house and got attribute bonuses! 】

[You have the qualification of acting city lord, your residence bonus is doubled, you gain all attributes +2, and free attribute points +10! 】

Listen to the system prompts.

Lu Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

Right now, the Dwellings feature doesn't offer much in the way of bonuses.

When the level rises in the future, it will be very impressive.

At this point, the settlement function is almost complete.

As for the last faith function…

Look at the words [Unlocking].

Lu Cheng frowned slightly.

In the previous life, Daxia was jointly encircled and suppressed by various countries, largely because of this function!

Who can believe that this chapter took nine hours to write? But fortunately, I finally finished writing this plot, and the rest will go smoothly! I'm sorry for this paragraph of kavin, everyone QAQ

In addition, I would like to thank Master 222 for the 200-point reward, thank you!
