Seeing Song Jian, the young Black Dragon showed its affection by flying onto his shoulder and lying down on it, looking very well-behaved;

Song Jian checked the attributes of the young Black Dragon which was now at level 2, with 450 Vitality Points and 100 Spirit Points, but no other changes in its traits and skills;

Song Jian smiled slightly, took out a piece of roasted meat from his bag, and offered it to the young Black Dragon. Watching it swallowing the meat, which was almost the same size as its body, Song Jian felt that something was off;

“It didn’t call me its mother this time…”

Song Jian’s heart sank. It seemed that the young Black Dragon’s bloodline memory was slowly recovering as it leveled up. The Dragon Clan’s lineage was passed on through their blood, so even if they slept for a hundred years right from birth, they would still obtain their clan’s inheritance memory and skills once they reached adulthood;

“It must have realized that I’m not its mother but can still sense the Black Dragon Bloodline within me, so it remains affectionate. But when it levels up more and gains higher intelligence, it will surely understand that we’re not of the same kind. When that time comes, I’m afraid…”

Song Jian played with the young Black Dragon as he made his way to the third floor of the castle;

In the third-floor bedroom, there was a one-meter diameter wooden bowl filled with dry straw. Song Jian had instructed the carpenter in his manor to make this as a Black Dragon Nest;

Placing the yawning young Black Dragon in the nest, Song Jian turned to check his mailbox;

There were more than a dozen letters in the mailbox, each containing a type of plant seed. He took out all the seeds, spending more than 4,000 Doomsday Coins.

“George!” Song Jian shouted loudly;

“Yes, master, how can I help you?” Butler George appeared in front of Song Jian immediately with a respectful tone;

“Give these seeds to John, let him choose and plant them. If there’s a harvest ceremony, be sure to let me know immediately!” Song Jian handed the dozen plant seeds to George;

“As you wish, master, I’ll pass your order on to John and follow up. Once a harvest ceremony can be held, I’ll let you know right away!” George accepted the seeds and replied;

Song Jian nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, “Do we need to hire a cook? After all, the food we produce needs to be processed into consumable meals;”

“Master, not only do we need a cook, but also a mill, and preferably some livestock…” George began to plan for the future development of the manor.

“You’ve made some good points. Go ahead and follow your plans for development. I’ve given you the authority, so the manor’s in your hands now.” Song Jian smiled;

“Master, our most pressing issue right now is that we don’t have enough land for building the mill and Livestock Pen…” George showed a troubled expression on his face;

Song Jian nodded, knowing that his safezone now had the largest land area in the game, covering five to six hundred square meters. But apart from the castle and the six Spirit Fields in the yard, there was no more space for building anything else.

“Do you have any suggestions? Can we build anything outside the safezone?” Song Jian inquired;

Since anything built outside of Song Jian’s safezone did not belong to him, he didn’t know whether he could build something on other lands;

“Master, I would not recommend building anything on lands that do not belong to us. It is very unsafe, and most importantly, if the building is not on our land and is destroyed, we will be left with nothing;” George shook his head;

Song Jian nodded, aware that if a building inside the safezone was destroyed, it could be rebuilt with very little materials. For example, the traps outside the walls, the Arrow Towers on the walls, and the Catapults on the castle could be rebuilt with only about a tenth of the materials if they were destroyed;

However, if a building outside was destroyed, it would be a total loss, with all the contents inside disappearing as well, leading to even greater losses;

If Song Jian were to build the mill outside, he would risk losing all the food stored inside if it were destroyed, becoming loot for others;

But if the mill were built within the safezone and was destroyed, most of the food inside would be preserved;

“Can we continue expanding our current location?” Song Jian asked;

“Master, in order to expand the safezone, we have to initiate an Expansion Battle, which is a very risky move. It should only be considered when we have absolute confidence, as failure may result in huge losses!” George said with a serious expression;

“Are there any other alternatives for development?” Song Jian inquired;

George frowned deeply, thought for a moment, and slowly shook his head;

“Then let’s initiate the Expansion Battle!” Song Jian wore a determined expression on his face;

“Master, you can only initiate an Expansion Battle once a month. Once started, it will be a fight to the death. The battle will only end when one side is completely destroyed! Master, please be cautious!” George sighed;

“Don’t worry, there are no undefeatable enemies around us!” Song Jian smiled slightly;

With a thought, Song Jian’s figure appeared at the top of the castle, and as he looked around, he saw a few villas and a green jungle in the direction of Camel Square;

“Expansion!” Song Jian summoned the safezone interface and made his move;

Suddenly, a grand, low, and stern voice emerged from the castle and spread out in all directions;

“Territory Struggle, initiated!”

A blazing red light slowly seeped out from the castle, spreading in all directions and stopped ten meters away from the outer walls. The red light then came to a halt;

System: No other safezones detected within the expansion area, would you like to occupy?

Occupy!

Whoosh-

Inside the castle, a slowly expanding green light covered the original red light. The green light spread very slowly, as if waiting for something;

After three minutes, the green light completely covered the red light, and the entire area became Song Jian’s external territory;

Originally close neighboring villas disappeared under the green light, and a wide road outside the manor began to blur;

Before long, all buildings and items on the ground within the green light disappeared, replaced by a large area of unexplored green grassland;

The green light vanished, and Song Jian stared at the green grassland that suddenly appeared among the high-rise buildings with an odd expression. It was so strange that he even saw a half-cut villa standing eerily at the edge of the grassland;

“Master, congratulations on your brilliant victory!” George said with an excited face;
