Hearing the sound of the system activating in his mind, Fang Ping’s expression instantly became incomparably excited. When faced with his last life-saving straw, Fang Ping’s voice trembled as he issued the order to accept the instruction manual from the system.

Immediately, a virtual screen appeared before Fang Ping’s eyes. On it was written the specific usage method of the system.

“The Crazy Demon Infrastructure System has the ability to build buildings indefinitely.”

“As long as the required materials and manpower as stated on the construction blueprint are gathered, buildings with various functions can be built.”

“While building various buildings, a construction progress bar will be produced. As long as the construction progress bar reaches 100%, the host’s strength will increase.”

“As the number of buildings increases, the host’s strength will gradually become greater. Moreover, there is no limit to the increase in the host’s strength. As long as there are enough buildings, the host can simply reach the top of the world.”

Looking at the lines of words on the system instruction manual that represented his hope and the possibility that he could reach the peak, Fang Ping could no longer suppress the excitement and joy in his heart. He threw his head back and roared.

“Hahaha, there’s always a way out. Even if you match me with such a trashy combination in the Myriad Race Battlefield, I have a chance to turn the tables.”

“Just watch. Not only will I not die, but I will also continue to grow stronger until I become a top-notch Overlord who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you!!”

He let out a long howl to vent the depression and despair brought about by his combination of extreme trash. Then, he could not wait to control the system and open the System Mall to begin on his crazy construction path.

With Fang Ping’s mind control, the virtual screen in front of him began to change. The original instruction manual became a System Mall with all kinds of construction items.

The system’s slogan was written at the top of the System Mall. It said, “Crazy Devil Infrastructure, Quality Preservation”.

Below the slogan were construction items that were divided into three categories, namely defense, attack, and support.

The three categories of construction items included everything from fences, floors, arrow towers, blacksmith shops, and various low-level buildings to all kinds of shrines, rainbow bridges, eternal furnaces, and other legendary buildings. They could all be found in the System Mall.

Initially, Fang Ping was still hoping for a fluke. After taking a look at the resources and manpower needed for the various mythical buildings in the System Mall, he was so frightened that he immediately gave up on the wishful thinking in his heart. Even the cheapest sacred hall was not something he could afford.

[Sacred Hall]

[Materials required for construction: 90 million units of stone, 100 million units of wood, 10 million units of mithril…]

[Manpower required for construction: 300 million]

Among the resources needed to build the Sacred Hall, he couldn’t even find the ordinary and common resources, let alone the cold iron, star steel, mithril, star sand, and the other construction materials that he had never heard of. The most ridiculous thing was that the last construction material needed was actually the core of a dead star.

Wasn’t this ridiculous? With his current strength, not to mention obtaining the core of a star, even if he stood far away around a dead star, he would probably be torn apart by its huge gravitational force and residual temperature.

Fortunately, Fang Ping did not continue to look at the mythical buildings that he could not touch with his current strength. He focused his attention on the ordinary buildings that he could afford with his current strength.

When Fang Ping saw the resources and manpower required for ordinary buildings, the expression on his face gradually recovered.

[Wall (10 meters)]

[Materials required for construction: 3 units of wood, 10 units of stone]

[Manpower required for construction: 5 people]

[Arrow Tower (Wood)]

[Materials required for construction: 10 units of wood, 3 units of stone]

[Manpower required for construction: 10 people]

Fang Ping smiled from the bottom of his heart as he looked at the cheap, ordinary construction items. He was short of everything in his territory, but he was not short of manpower. With the Undead-type troops as his summoned creature, their attack and defense might not be very good, but in terms of numbers, he was not afraid of losing to anyone, with the exception of insects that he was evenly matched with.

Then, he closed the System Mall. After that, he prepared to use the Undead Summoning Spell to summon Skeleton Soldiers to help him gather materials and build buildings.

Fang Ping stretched out his left hand and pointed at the territories littered with corpses and graves. He chanted the incantation attached to the Undead Summoning Spell.

“The souls of the endless abyss and hell!”

“In the name of the Undead Overlord, I summon you to return and listen to my commands!”

As Fang Ping recited the Undead Summoning Spell, the eyes of all the skeletons within a 100-meter radius began to ignite with a wisp of dark blue Soul Fire. They broke the coffins, pushed away the soil that buried them, picked up bones to repair their bodies, and slowly walked to Fang Ping with all kinds of weapons transformed from bones to report.

To Fang Ping, the terrifying scene of the Skeleton Soldiers breaking out of the ground and repairing themselves was wonderful. These trash Skeleton Soldiers were created from the numerous skeletons that were seen everywhere. They were a burden among burdens to others and were completely useless. However, to him, they were the best cheap labor.

They didn’t need to rest, they didn’t need food, and they wouldn’t complain. The Skeleton Soldiers that were always loyal to him, combined with his Crazy Demon Infrastructure System, were a perfect match.

A moment later, no more Skeleton Soldiers crawled out of the territory. After knowing that there were no complete skeletons within 100 meters that could be used to summon Skeleton Soldiers, Fang Ping dispersed the summoning array in his palm.

Looking at the 20 or so Skeleton Soldiers in front of him, an excited expression appeared on his face. Then, he ordered the Skeleton Soldiers to collect the wood and stones in the territory and bring them back.

Upon receiving the order, the Skeleton Soldiers quickly began to use the broken bone blades in their hands to cut down dead wood, crush boulders, and carry them back to the empty space beside Fang Ping without stopping.

Looking at the ever-increasing amount of wood and stone on the interface, Fang Ping’s heart grew more and more excited with the increase in resources.

Under the relentless chopping and crushing of the Skeleton Soldiers, they quickly collected ten units of stone and wood respectively.

Looking at the resources that had reached the required amount, Fang Ping could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. He quickly got ten Skeleton Soldiers to stop collecting resources and began to build a wall at the designated place.

As Fang Ping clicked on the icon to construct the wall, the speed of five Skeleton Soldiers seemed to have accelerated. At a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, they began to build the wall with the pile of wood and stone at the side.

With the rapid consumption of stone and wood, in just dozens of seconds, a sturdy wall that was five meters tall, one meter long, and half a meter wide was completed by the Skeleton Soldiers.

Fang Ping was shocked by this speed of construction.

However, the construction speed was not what surprised Fang Ping the most. What surprised him the most was the system notification that appeared after the wall was built.

“The wall has been successfully built. Attributes will be given…”

[Wall obtained. Sturdiness +5.]

[Wall: Level 0 (Can be upgraded)]

[Defense: 5]

[Sturdiness +5: Can defend against all foreign invasions and attacks of the same level.]
