[Game Invasion + Infrastructure Building + Lord + Monster Hunting and Leveling]
The whole world has turned into a game. The wealthy families got in on the closed beta early, and the balance of power has been reshuffled. Workers are still just capitalist workhorses.
Ordinary people seek patrons and wait for a savior. Scions of the great families scramble for resources and wait for the game to awaken their talents.
But on the day the game descended, Zhou Lingyun awakened the [Blueprint of All Things] talent on her own. The beta testers have gear and information? No problem. I have a talent of my own. I'll level up, hunt monsters, build a territory, recruit allies, and rise to become the strongest player.
Inspect a monster, and its weaknesses and movements are laid bare.
Inspect resources, and hidden mineral veins can't escape notice.
Inspect a building, and optimized plans are generated automatically.
While everyone else was busy leveling up by killing monsters, she quietly claimed a "wasteland." She repaired an abandoned outpost, and a mana well supplied the whole city. While other players were roughing it and eating scraps, her territory already had farms, a hospital, and a research institute.
A beta tester sneered, "An ordinary person thinks they can run a territory?"
Then a monster tide struck, his team was routed, and they took shelter in Zhou Lingyun's city.
He fell silent at the sight of the towering walls lined with fusion defense towers.
He broke down when he saw the residents using homemade alchemical tools to work efficiently.
A legendary mage from another world marched on the city at the head of an army. "Inferior civilization, surrender your territory!"
Zhou Lingyun pressed a control button, and the entire city transformed into a giant war fortress.
"Welcome to the domain of Earth's infrastructure maniacs."
