The blood-red eyes hung high, and the surrounding blood threads were like tentacles or plant roots stuck in the sky, like some kind of parasite.

It replaced the sun and radiated light and heat to the earth.

Then, this eye closed, and then the other white eye opened, emitting faint light like the moon, and countless small eyes appeared.

The world falls into night.

On an island, Han Yun was lost in thought as he looked at an eyeball and two tentacles floating around him.

Behind him, a pillar wrapped in tentacles, with some colorful foam and eyeballs exposed, stood, making people feel a little sick just looking at it.

[Building: Flesh Divine Pillar LV1, randomly produces 3 candle eye low-level materials every day.

Upgrading requires 10 low-level eyeballs, 10 low-level tentacles, 10 low-level flesh and blood, 10 low-level gray fog, and 10 low-level bubbles]

[Attached monsters: Floating Eyes LV1, 2 × Tentacle Group LV2]

"This lord really doesn't live up to his name. Is he just starting with something like this?" Han Yun smacked his lips.

The world in front of me is called the Old Wilderness.

I don’t know if it’s the mysterious power of gods or demons, pulling players here one after another from the earth. The first batch of 200,000 people, and nearly half of them were later pulled in.

In this wilderness, there are no NPCs and no safe zones, but there are players, monsters, as well as resources such as treasure chests and world ruins (dungeons).

Low-level treasure chests contain basic food, water, tools, and daily necessities. In higher-level treasure chests or world ruins, you can obtain items, skills, etc. that can help you fight or build civilization.

In order to survive, players unite and build camps, cities, and even countries.

By exploring the plot, Han Yun and some other players found the world relics that can return to the earth after beating the game - the Road to Homecoming.

Unfortunately, they fell short due to civil strife caused by a group of traitors.

As the strongest architect, Han Yun was besieged by monsters and rebels in the last defense tower position while cursing at those damn enemies.

Finally, he gave his enemy the middle finger and fell down.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back to the day when the game started.

He was reborn, and he was reborn as the lord of a monster camp. How should I put it, Han Yun should be happy, but he couldn't laugh.

"Ah..." He lay on the beach, gritting his teeth: "We are going to win, and we will go home soon! What are those people planning?"

Han Yun didn't understand it, really didn't understand it.

Although they have built this world quite well. There are rich agricultural, animal husbandry, fishery and industrial systems built step by step on the primitive wilderness, and there are even entertainment activities such as gear broadcasting and crystal imaging. But it’s definitely not as good as Earth!

Don't those traitors want to go home?

I have been away from my homeland for more than ten years, and finally saw the light of day, but was destroyed by these guys. It is really……

"Alas" Han Yun sighed in his heart and clicked on the territory situation.

[Territory situation:

Territory Level 1 (To advance to the next level, you need to unlock all types of basic buildings. The strength of the lord will increase with the territory level)

Current building:

Candle Eye Category: Flesh Pillar

Gear type (to be unlocked)

Lattice class (to be unlocked)



Current troop type:

Candle eyes: floating eyes, tentacle balls

Gear type (to be unlocked)

Lattice class (to be unlocked)



(Tip: Expand your available buildings and units by collecting blueprints, skills, equipment, etc.)

Newcomer gift pack 7/7 (can be opened once a day, seven times in total, and special rewards of the corresponding type can be provided according to the date of the day)

Protection period: 7 days (your territory will not be attacked during the protection period)]

"Okay, no matter what happened in the previous life, since I'm reborn on this first day, I can't lose as miserably as I did in my previous life."

Han Yun took a deep breath and patted his face: "I remember all those traitors... Well, write them down first so as not to forget them later."

However, it seems that he can't even leave the territory now, and he doesn't look like a normal player at all. Although his attributes are similar to those of an ordinary level 10 player.

"Is this a side effect of rebirth? Or is it the reward I got for surviving the final journey home? Is the world ruins considered finished?" Han Yun was thinking.

Right now, the island is not bad in size, but there are no other resources except woods and some mobs.

It’s just a scam!

"It's too slow to improve the level just by relying on the materials produced by the Flesh Pillar..." Han Yun frowned and thought about a way out.

The ocean is a much more dangerous place than land. In my previous life, it was only developed by players in the middle and late stages of the game. And this island...

"Well, it would be nice if I could go out to explore, play dungeons and the like." He believed that with his level, he could quickly accumulate materials and develop the camp, but now...

Apparently, we still need to see what this newbie gift pack is.

The novice gift pack may have been given by the lord system, but Han Yun didn't have it when he was an ordinary player in his previous life.

Anyway, wash your hands before drawing. Then stand under the white eyes and say a less pious prayer.

Extraction.

The number of gift packages became 6/7, and a roulette wheel appeared in front of Han Yun's eyes, with all kinds of dazzling words flashing by.

Finally the hands stopped.

[Flesh and blood (orange, bright moon level)

It can become the player's avatar. The avatar can customize its appearance and profession (only one chance) and be randomly placed in the wilderness.

The skills learned by the clone will be fed back to the territory. And share the backpack with the territory】

"Beautiful!" Han Yun was very satisfied. As expected, I am still very European. In this case, the problem of going out to explore and collect materials and drawings is solved.

The quality of props and equipment is divided into dilapidated (grey), ordinary (white), excellent (green), refined (blue), starlight (purple), bright moon (orange), and old (red). So my luck in this lottery is pretty good.

"Well, in terms of profession, what should I choose for this clone?"

Han Yun started to think about it. There are nine professions for ordinary players in the game, but he mainly considered two of them.

First there are builders. Before his rebirth, he was the best architect in the world, and architect is a subsequent career change from the original builder.

This profession has the initial skill of bonfire construction, the fifth-level skill of city wall construction, the tenth-level skill of ballista, etc.

Subsequent job transfer routes include engineering equipment specialization, tower defense specialization, mechanical specialization, etc. Just rely on making various things to fight or develop territory.

Because of their excellent territory construction and defense capabilities, builders are considered an essential profession for all major forces who want to develop. A good builder can help a camp grow quickly.

Next is the warrior who was very popular in the early stage.

The initial skill is Heavy Slash, the second skill is Sprinting, and the third skill is Weakness Strike. A very simple and easy-to-understand profession that quickly develops combat effectiveness.

You can change your profession to become a fighter, swordsman, etc. who specialize in personal force, or you can change your profession to become a knight or commander who strengthens the legion.

After thinking about it, Han Yun chose to start as a builder.

"If you want to build a camp, it would be better for your clone to learn more construction skills."

After Han Yun made his decision, he immediately made a clone of himself: "Well, not bad, very handsome."

"No, it seems inconvenient to do bad things in front of one's own face..." Han Yun changed his mind and made modifications. The shape of the face changes slightly.

Originally, he considered whether to change it to look like an enemy. But I don’t do bad things specifically. In that case, I might help my enemies gain reputation, so let’s leave it like that.

Career Choices, Builder.

Finish.

"This feeling is quite amazing." Han Yun, who was controlling the clone, licked his lips.

"It's like controlling your own body, but with one more body. Speaking of which, can this clone..."

He looked at the clone and pulled up his pants. It's a pity that the shape has been determined, otherwise I really want to give it a try.

The current world danger level is twenty, which is the upper limit for players and monsters. Just like in the previous life. Each level up will improve attributes according to occupation.

"Speaking of which, the normal builder's bonfire is a skill that can slowly restore life and mental power. How did this clone become an attack skill?"

"Special effects of flesh and blood? This is indeed the style of candle eyes..."

Han Yun looked up, his eyes in the sky had been closed, and an orange-red gear slowly appeared and hung above everyone's heads.

The players were stunned by this, but Han Yun had long been used to it.

What's on top of my head is different every day. Yesterday the sun above our head was the eye and was called the candle eye day. Today is called the gear day.

These suns each represent a type of monster. As it rises, the number of monsters it represents increases.

Yesterday, on Candle Eye Day, there were balls of flesh and blood, balls of tentacles, floating eyeballs, mist that imitated human beings... in short, they were monsters in the Ke style.

Today is Gear Day, and there will be more and more various clockwork chariots, mechanical puppets, and gear Trojans.

On the seventh day, the world will fall into a long night, and there will be dangerous darkness all day long. Monsters will run rampant and beasts will swarm the land. People without the protection of the camp will suffer heavy casualties.

At this time, we are only the first batch of players to be invested, and there will be more in the future. In the end, nearly 4 billion people around the world will be invested in this game.

Under the illumination of the gears, Han Yun's clone was released into the wilderness.

A monster with a clockwork drive that looked like a rat toy stepped into the range of the bloody bonfire and soon fell down and died.

The clone picked up the materials and uploaded them to the territory.

He was very emotional.

“After more than ten years of going around in circles, I’m back to the original starting point—but this starting point is indeed different.”

"Anyway, since you are reborn, you must cherish this opportunity and do better than last time!"
