Building the Strongest Undead Empire from Scratch

Chapter 240: Is this a new race king?

[Night retreats, dawn arrives]

Time: 06:00 AM

As dawn broke, Alex wanted to sleep a bit longer, but Xiao Hui was already eagerly heading to their new city to check it out.

The moment Xiao Hui stepped out of the Portal of Transit palace, she was astonished, marveling at the system's power.

The first thing she saw were two towering palaces on either side of her. These palaces were incredibly tall, like two high towers, with completely opposite styles.

The palace on the left had warm yellow walls, emitting a faint golden glow, with a giant Light Phoenix statue perched on top.

The palace on the right had eerie black walls covered in strange patterns, with a dark Jiao dragon coiling up to the highest point, its head at the top, eyes glowing red.

The two original Portals of Transit had merged into one, situated between the two palaces.

Xiao Hui flew into the sky and saw that the city's area was enormous, almost as large as the current Undead City, which was a level 3 city.

Apart from the two palaces and necessary buildings, the city was still quite empty, with only the tall outer walls.

Additionally, many of Xiao Hui and Xiao Mu's similar structures had merged.

For example, they both had basic shields. Originally, there were two Commanding level shields, but after merging, there was one Monarch level shield.

Despite the city's emptiness, it wasn't desolate, as there were many undead on standby.

Xiao Hui carefully checked her system mail. Besides necessary notifications, she and Xiao Mu each received a random special structure blueprint.

The sudden appearance of a city was hard to ignore. The orcs, puzzled by the sudden destruction of several camps, had already sent scouts to investigate.

When the orc scouts arrived, they were shocked to find a city!

The orc scouts hurriedly rode their wolves back to the camp to report this news to their leader.

Xiao Hui, still excited, continued exploring their city. Meanwhile, in Undead City, Alex had just woken up.

"My experience points are almost full. I'll level up soon," Alex thought, as she skillfully put on her panties and bra, then sat on the edge of the bed, still a bit groggy.

"Right, I forgot to check their city's information yesterday. I wonder what special features the merged city has."

Alex opened the system dashboard to check the city's information.

[City Name: Light Phoenix and Dark Jiao City (can be renamed)]

[City Level: lv1]

[Health Points: 1 million]

[City Territory: 150 square miles]

[Buildings: Energy Cannon, Dark Pool, Defense Tower, Wall, Fusion Shield, Portal of Transit.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 1 million wood, 2 million stone, 500k iron ingots.]

[Note: Some special buildings in the city can receive double effects and bonuses.]

As a level 1 city, its size was indeed impressive, and the resource consumption was higher.

Alex checked the special buildings in the city and found that most could be enhanced. For example, the Defense Tower's number hadn't increased, but its power had.

"This name is too long. It definitely needs renaming."

Alex dressed and left her bedroom, planning to ask the siblings.

Alex is a Gemini, and since Xiao Mu and Xiao Hui are twins, why not call it Gemini City?

[By the way, what are everyone's zodiac signs? :)]

Soon, Alex found Xiao Mu in Undead City, but Xiao Hui was nowhere to be seen. Knowing his sister well, Xiao Mu immediately knew where she had gone.

Alex shared her idea with Xiao Mu.

"I have no problem with it. A name is just a label. It's more convenient for future reference. The name doesn't really matter," Xiao Mu said without much thought. He didn't see the need to ponder over it, as naming things could be a hassle.

"By the way, did you receive any special notifications?"

Alex almost forgot to ask. When she upgraded Undead City, she received the undead fortress and the conditions for establishing a kingdom. She wondered what they had received.

Xiao Mu shook his head and handed Alex a special structure blueprint.

"Nothing special, just this."

Alex took the blueprint and examined it, her expression turning curious.

"A steam room?"

Xiao Mu shrugged helplessly.

"The blueprint is random. I don't know why I got something like this."

A steam room was a combination of a gym and a bathhouse. It cost 1 magic crystal to build and had limited effects, granting 1 experience point per hour spent inside.

Though not powerful, Alex liked it. She wouldn't have to take cold showers every day.

Back to the main topic, it made sense that Xiao Mu didn't receive a kingdom establishment prompt. Since they had submitted to Alex, they couldn't establish a kingdom.

This also confirmed that the undead fortress was Alex's special reward. It was possible the system saw them as a unit, hence only one teleportation building was awarded.

While Alex and Xiao Mu chatted, Xiao Hui finally returned.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing that Xiao Mu's special building was a steam room, Xiao Hui boasted, "My special building is a super-strong defense tower covering the entire city. It's a hundred times better than yours!"

Xiao Mu could only shrug, but he could sense that Alex seemed to really like the steam room.

"By the way, Xiao Hui, the city can be renamed. How about calling it Gemini City?" Alex suggested.

"Great! I'm all for Gemini City. Brother, what's your zodiac sign?"

Xiao Mu: ???

Alex: ???

Xiao Hui looked at Xiao Mu in confusion, only to find both he and Alex staring at her like she was a fool.

"Huh?"

In the end, the city was named [Gemini City], and the steam room was built in Undead City.

Hearing Xiao Hui's exaggerated description, Xiao Mu became curious about the city and let Xiao Hui drag him to Emerald Hills.

Alex had another theory. Perhaps Gemini City, once maxed out, would be truly maxed out and unable to advance further. But Undead City could still advance after reaching max level.

"Soon, I'll help upgrade Sophie's castle to a city. She was the first to follow me."

Alex then went to the Barracks to summon today's troops.

This time, before starting, Alex squeezed her breasts, hoping it would bring her more luck.

The Barracks emitted a faint glow, but nothing miraculous happened.

Feeling a bit disappointed, Alex was about to leave when she sensed a large concentration of death energy behind her. As an undead queen, she was highly sensitive to such things.

"What's happening?"

Alex stopped and turned around. The Barracks summoned fifty undead each time, plus twenty-one special units, totaling seventy-one undead.

Scanning the area, Alex spotted a unique figure among them.

It was a humanoid undead entirely composed of black death energy, wearing a black robe. It had no arms or legs, with black death energy billowing from the bottom, causing it to hover above the ground.

Unlike liches, necromancers, or Reaper Guards, whose hoods revealed glowing eyes, this undead's hood was a pitch-black abyss, devoid of any features.

The sight was so strange that even Alex found it unsettling. She had never seen an undead entirely made of death energy.

It hadn't spoken yet, so its intelligence was unknown, but it was clearly unable to communicate.

"Is this a new Race King?"
