...

The attributes of the Profound Puppet were the same as what Li Cheng had seen on the forum in his previous life. Its positioning was very clear—they were Meat Shield soldiers!

Moreover, they were top-tier ones. At level 1, their initial HP was a full 350,000 points. This was already several times that of a normal Crown soldier. It was also much more than the Frost Dragons.

In addition to Li Cheng’s Profound Armor, without special skills and equipment, even a Crown soldier would not be able to break the defense of the Profound Puppet.

Of course, there were gains and losses. Their attack power was very weak, the lowest among the Crown soldiers. Nevertheless, it was still more than Legendary soldiers.

There was a big gap between Legendary soldiers and Crown soldiers.

Compared to other soldiers, the skills of the Profound Puppets were also very powerful. They had a 90% reduction of any physical damage, and their regeneration skills were like the bane of physics. In addition to the skills of the Profound armor, these attributes tickled Li Cheng’s fancy.

Their third skill was also very interesting. The Profound Puppets could change their size at will, which gave them a lot of flexibility.

For example, if they went underground, the Frost Dragons would be affected by the terrain, but for the Profound Puppets, they could handle it easily as long as they changed their sizes.

They could grow up to 200 meters tall and 150 meters in width. At this height, as long as dozens of Profound Puppets held hands and formed a circle, they would instantly become an extremely thick wall.

The fourth skill could be considered a dispensable damage skill. The damage coefficient was relatively low, and the damage dealt was not very high. However, if Li Cheng had a series of buffs, he could still insta-kill some high-level troops.

...

After closing the Profound Puppets’ interface, Li Cheng casually waved his hand and told them to move to the side to await their orders. Then, Li Cheng took out the astral portal that he had kept in his backpack. He placed it in the southeast corner of his territory as it was still a relatively empty area with no buildings.

“Ding, dong, you’re about to place the Mythicak-grade astral portal. Once you place it down, you cannot undo it. Do you confirm?”

“Confirm!” Li Cheng nodded without thinking.

“Ding, dong, the Mythical-grade astral portal has been successfully placed!”

Boom!

As the confirmation button was pressed, a loud sound came from his territory as the entire ground trembled a few times.

Li Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the teleportation gate in front of him. At this time, the teleportation gate had already started to operate, emitting a faint blue fluorescence. He looked at the information of the teleportation gate.

[Astral portal (Mythical)]

[Description: an attack teleportation gate made by the automaton race. Its structure is stable, and it can defend against most attacks. At the same time, it can carry out large-scale teleportation.]

[Level: 1]

[Grade: Mythical]

[Type: Mother Gate]

[HP: 100 billion/100 billion]

[Daily teleportation limit: 100 trillion]

[Number of sub-gates that can be arranged: 50 million]

[Energy consumption: 80,000,000/day]

A Mythical-grade astral portal would require 80 million mana points per day. Even in the later stages of the game, it was not something that an ordinary player could afford.

Li Cheng pressed the button to create a sub-portal, and the system’s notification sounded in his ear.

“Ding, dong! You’re about to consume two hundred thousand iron ores and one hundred thousand crystals to construct the sub-portal of the astral portal. Do you confirm?”

“Confirm!”

“Ding, dong! You’ve successfully constructed the sub-portal for the astral portal!”

As the system’s voice fell, a small teleportation gate appeared in Li Cheng’s backpack. With a sub-portal, the entire teleportation gate could be considered operational.

Li Cheng thought for a moment. He needed to build subg-portals in the City of Light, the Profound armory, the Glittering Castle, and Tiavanas’s underground city. In other words, he needed at least four of these sub-portals.

Each sub-portal required two million crystals for maintenance mana every day. Naturally, the resources would be provided by Li Cheng himself.

Li Cheng pondered for a moment and built seven of them. Four for the designated locations and the remaining three for emergencies.

...

After all the new technologies were accounted for, Li Cheng looked at a blueprint that had been eating dust in his backpack. It was the Immortal-grade Nine Hammers of Doom’s blueprint!

The Nine Hammers of Doom was a very famous Immortal-grade equipment. As the natal weapon of the Dwarven Prince Lark, it played a very important role in the conquering of the Eight Gods Mountain in the future. Li Cheng naturally would not forget it.

When he was trading with Immortal Sandy, he had bought enough materials because of his self-interest. At this time, he went to the Profound Empire’s Forging Table. This was not the best, but it was still a high-level forging table.

Li Cheng then chose to forge the weapon. At the same time, the voice of the system rang in his ears.

“Ding, dong, you’re about to use the Profound Empire’s Forging Table to forge the Immortal-grade Nine Hammers of Doom. Do you confirm?”

“Confirm!”

As Li Cheng pressed the confirm button and placed the blueprint on the table, a rumbling sound erupted from the forging table. At the same time, mysterious and powerful auras instantly enveloped the entire territory....
