Chapter 246.1
All aspects of data in Empire Sandbox have reached the Empire level!
In terms of comprehensive national power, it has even surpassed several Empires, ranking in the middle to lower tier among Empires!
In just three short years, it has developed from a weak small kingdom on the brink of destruction into a rich and powerful Empire that commands respect worldwide.
Lin Beifan has every right to be proud of his Great Xia.
Of course, this is inseparable from his golden finger (cheat), Empire Sandbox.
Thus, Lin Beifan couldnt wait to familiarize himself with the new changes in Empire Sandbox.
Firstly, its basic functions.
After evolving into the Advanced Level form, Empire Sandbox could mobilize all resources under the heavens, limited at that time to inanimate objects.
But after evolving into the super form, it could now mobilize all animals except f or humans.
What can you do by mobilizing animals?
Uhh, that doesnt seem to add much capability.
If thats what you thinkyoure wrong!
Humans may seem like the rulers of the world, but in nature, they are just a drop in the ocean.
Scientists have investigated the fact that for every 40 human infants born, approximately 700 million ants come into this world.
Thats a frightening difference in numbers, isnt it?
Even if you compare by volume and mass, humans will never surpass ants, with the gap being more than a hundredfold.
Moreover, nature is not just home to ants but also locusts, fleas, caterpillars, grasshoppers, and various other insects and animals, each outnumbering humans.
And the fish in the water are even more numerous and beyond count.
Humans may seem powerful as if they dominate the world, but thats just wishful thinking.
Humans could go extinct several times over, and many of these creatures would still survive.
If you mobilize them, they can unleash unimaginable destructive power!
Should I try it? Lin Beifans consciousness had already reached a hundred-li radius of uninhabited forest.
Under his command, all the animals and insects in the forest emerged.
Swarming in masses, with ants piled up a meter high, the sight made Lin Beifans scalp tingle.
If this force were mobilized, it could completely annihilate a city.
Too terrifying! Lin Beifan exclaimed.
With this ability, he could create all sorts of pestilences.
Locust plagues are terrible, as they are one of the three great ancient calamities, and now he could summon them effortlessly.
There are also ant plagues, snake plagues, bee plagues, rat plagues
Each ones destructive power is no less than that of a locust plague.
Of course, this is his country, so he definitely wouldnt want to cause such disasters and damage his own national power.
But to annoy a neighboring country? Now were talking!
Aside from causing destruction, this ability can actually be used for production.
For example, insects can be diverted away from vegetable gardens, ensuring that the crops grown are plentiful and of high quality, much better than using pesticides.
For instance, deer antlers can be used as medicine, but the number of deer is very scarce.
Lin Beifan could easily summon all the deer in the world, confine them on a mountainside, and have them breed faster to increase production.
This ability is great, its so practical! Lin Beifan exclaimed, gaining a profound understanding of this capability.
Then, he turned his attention to his newly acquired abilityHand of Creation.
Can I use the Hand of Creation to bestow creation upon all domestic materials and upgrade them?
Lin Beifan pondered and stretched out his hand, and then a sword appeared in his grasp.
It was just an ordinary sword, forged from common steel and crafted simply and roughly.
The blade wasnt very sharp, and it wouldnt sell for more than ten taels of silver in the market.
Lin Beifan activated the Hand of Creation: Upgrade!
The sword flickered slightly and then returned to normal, seemingly unchanged.
However, when Lin Beifan held the sword and lightly shaved a piece of paper with it, it cut through smoothly.
It has become a sharp sword now! Lin Beifan marveled.
In this world, swords are generally classified into four levels: ordinary swords, sharp swords, treasure swords, and divine swords.
An ordinary sword is like the one Lin Beifan originally held. It is made of common materials with a simple and rough technique, and it looks very plain, selling at most 100 taels of silver in the market.
Most ordinary swords, which are just a few taels of silver in value, are mass-produced.
Sharp swords, some of which incorporate more precious materials and are crafted with greater care, are characterized by their sharpness and toughness.
They can sell for several hundred taels of silver or maybe even up to a thousand taels of silver in the market.
Most swordsmen wield sharp swords.
Treasure swords are much more impressive.
They are generally forged from precious materials with even more exquisite craftsmanship. Their greatest features are their indestructibility and ability to cut through iron as if it were mud. They can also transmit True Qi and enhance its power.
Some treasure swords have special attributes, such as the ability to emit fire or cold.
Such a treasure sword can sell for tens of thousands taels of silver or maybe even hundreds thousands taels of silver in the market.
Those who can forge treasure swords can be called master swordsmiths.
Divine swords are even more extraordinary.
Lin Beifans Xuanxiao Divine Sword falls into this category, and its a high-quality divine sword, invaluable and immensely powerful.
Thus, as soon as it appeared, it attracted many swordsmen to compete for it.
This single divine sword could enable many to fight above their level, incredibly powerful.
Now, Lin Beifan had merely used the Hand of Creation to upgrade an ordinary sword into a sharp sword.
What if it were already a sharp sword?
What if it were a treasure sword?
Lin Beifans heart raced with excitement.
In the blink of an eye, the ordinary sword in his hand changed, becoming a sharp sword.
Lin Beifan used the Hand of Creation: Upgrade!
The sharp sword in his hand flickered slightly, and then there was no apparent change.
Next, a block of iron appeared in front of Lin Beifan, which was effortlessly sliced in two by the sword he held.
It cuts through iron as if it were mud. Its already at the level of a treasure sword! Lin Beifan was overjoyed.
The gap between a treasure sword and a sharp sword was indeed vast!
Just the market value alone had increased by more than tenfold!
Because the materials needed to forge a treasure sword are so rare, and the swordsmiths capable of forging such swords are extremely scarce, crafting a treasure sword is very difficult, and rarity adds to its value.
To forge a treasure sword is hard, but is it not easy to forge a sharp sword?
In his treasury, there are thousands of sharp swords, and he could easily use the Hand of Creation to transform them into treasure swords!
Not only would this enhance national power, but it could also be used to make a fortune!
