A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

Entering the third-person perspective was now second nature to Shen Mu; he knew exactly how to operate.

Moreover, a prompt box from the Mount \u0026 Blade system appeared before him.

[Ding! You have activated the "Magic Ball (Map Editor)" and have 30 minutes of usage.]

[Time Remaining: 00 hours 29 minutes 69 seconds.]

"Let's begin then."

Shen Mu watched the 30-minute countdown, feeling the enhancement to his thinking provided by the Mount \u0026 Blade system, and a special sensation arose in his heart.

Then, with a slight thought, a small castle main tower, about 10 meters high and occupying about half a acre, instantly appeared before him.

Its illusory shadow was perfectly positioned within the seventh floor of the apartment building, with most of the castle's outline clipping through the ceiling like a bug.

This castle main tower was actually the same castle Shen Mu had seen in the Spirit Realm scene before.

It had a 5-meter-high castle hall, two 10-meter-high towers on the left and right, and a 3-meter-high lord's room above the castle hall.

"Disassemble!"

But with a slight thought from Shen Mu, this "small" castle main tower, still gigantic compared to ordinary people, instantly paused for a moment before completely disassembling, just as Shen Mu had said.

Like building blocks, various structural stones, wood, and decorations floated in mid-air.

As long as Shen Mu communicated with the system again, he could instantly reassemble them according to his wishes.

This was the power of the Magic Ball Map Editor!

But this wasn't the only power.

"There are also the Mount \u0026 Blade buildings that can be constructed within the stronghold!"

Shen Mu's mind stirred.

On his retina, the dialog box popped up again.

[Constructible Buildings]: Storage Room, Granary, Walls, Livestock Pen, 1 Acre Wheat Field (Limited), Lake Rat Gang Training Camp (Limited)

These were all the buildings that could be constructed in Shen Mu's Swadian stronghold.

Each had various functions.

"But now is not the time to discuss these things."

Shen Mu communicated with the system again.

'Swish—'

Within the seventh floor of the apartment, the outlines of the 6 constructible buildings directly formed, appearing before Shen Mu as illusory images.

They still clipped through the entire seventh-floor room like bugs, but these shadows were red, indicating that they could not be deployed.

"Then, I need the other 20 apartment rooms to be connected again, and then fill in this new 1 acre wheat field."

Shen Mu made a decision.

Then, on the opposite side of the seventh floor, where the wheat field modification had already been completed, the other half, a full 20 apartment rooms, instantly underwent a special disintegration—

Countless reinforced concrete walls began to crumble, and layers of fertile soil began to fill the floor from low to high.

Moreover, rows of densely growing wheat plants sprouted, their full ears of grain bent over, waiting for the upcoming harvest.

This represented that the newly acquired 1 acre wheat field had been fully deployed and truly appeared within Shen Mu's stronghold.

"Perfect."

Shen Mu was satisfied with this.

However, he did not stop his thoughts of manipulating the Magic Ball Map Editor's permissions; instead, he was quickly racking his brains.

"It's already a "日"-shaped structure, with the elevator shaft, stairwell, and various miscellaneous water and electricity rooms in the middle—all useless things after the advent of the Necromantic Rules."

"Since they're useless and take up so much space..."

"Then they should all be eliminated!"

Data streams flickered through Shen Mu's eyes.

At this moment, the Magic Ball Map Editor's permissions spread, directly enveloping the entire seventh floor of the apartment.

Even as Shen Mu manipulated the Magic Ball Map Editor's permissions from a third-person perspective, he discovered that even the entire sixth floor, and even the fifth, third, second, and first floors of the entire apartment, were being enveloped by the Magic Ball Editor's permissions.

This brought some surprise to Shen Mu's eyes.

Because he was very clear.

This meant that the Magic Ball Editor's map modification permissions had treated the entire seven-story apartment as his territory, including it within the scope of modification!

However, at this moment, the entire seven-story apartment suddenly began to show more than a dozen undeployable red light spots starting from the fifth floor, and there were the most on the fourth, third, and first floors.

"Due to the existence of other rules, modification is not possible."

The Mount \u0026 Blade system's explanation instantly appeared in Shen Mu's mind, causing him to be thoughtful.

He needed to clear the other rule carriers on the fifth floor and below before he could spread the Magic Ball Map Editor's permissions again and modify the map again.

And those several undeployable red light spots should be the spaces behind the drawn curtains, filled with Necromantic Rules.

Now, many Blue Star people have learned how to use Necromantic Rules.

For example, putting things into a dark room.

As long as gray fog appears.

Then space will freeze on its own, and anything put in will naturally freeze at the moment the gray fog appears.

It's a kind of refrigeration method.

Of course, the prerequisite is being able to defeat the Necromantic monsters that will definitely appear, regardless of their strength.

Moreover, this method cannot be used for a long time.

Because the more undead monsters die in a certain area, the more intense the reaction of the undead rules will be, and even stronger undead monsters will descend. If an undead monster capable of using extraordinary powers appears, even those who have obtained the Spirit Realm Mark will have to think twice.

But before Shen Mu could continue to think of a solution, he surprisingly discovered that, starting from the first floor, the red phantoms were disappearing one by one.

Then from the first floor to the second floor, from the second floor to the third floor, and from the third floor to the fourth floor.

In a short period of time, all 280 rooms in the seven-story apartment building were devoid of any red light spots, and there was no more hindrance from the undead rules, which Shen Mu didn't expect.

"What exactly is going on?" Shen Mu frowned, but unfortunately, his third-person perspective didn't have X-ray vision.

It could only form an outline and details of the entire apartment building in front of him, but he couldn't know what was happening inside, nor could he see any people or creatures.

Just watching these light spots disappear, Shen Mu felt a little uneasy, frowned slightly, and opened his eyes.

At this moment, he returned to his own body again.

"Arrange for people to guard the stairs."

"Be careful."

Shen Mu spoke to the Swadian infantry and light infantry who were still standing guard and protecting him.

"Understood." The 15 Swadian infantry and 30 Swadian light infantry immediately turned around and walked towards the stairwell.

Because they had just returned, they hadn't removed their armor, so they could just grab their weapons and equipment and go.

Watching the backs of these Mount \u0026 Blade soldiers, Shen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He closed his eyes again and continued to enter the third-person perspective.

He didn't know the specifics.

But this didn't prevent his next operation.

"Now that the entire seven-story apartment building can be modified with the magic orb modifier at will, I can just do what I thought before and remove the elevator shafts and utility rooms."

"Then the stairs shouldn't continue to be in the middle, but should be moved directly to the top of the '日' shape."

"In that case, there's no need for two corridors. All the 1.5-meter corridors are merged, and with the space saved, a 5-meter-wide corridor is formed in the middle, in the shape of '曰'."

"In the area of the fifth and sixth floors, place a castle below the main house of the original stronghold, occupying half an acre, and integrate it into the main house of the stronghold."

"Then remove half of the top plate from the fifth to the sixth floor."

"And expand the corridor on the fifth floor to 10 meters wide, so that a barely wide central corridor can be formed."

"Remove all the anti-theft doors from the rooms on both sides of the fifth floor, forming small rooms that can only be accessed internally, all connected to the towers on both sides of the castle, becoming barracks for the soldiers to live and rest in."

"As for the sixth floor, the left side will be used to build various basic stronghold buildings, and the right side will directly expand the Lake Rat Gang training camp, which requires a large area."

Before Shen Mu's eyes, data streams flickered.

The entire seven-story apartment building was rapidly changing under his ideas, completely ignoring any physical rules, changing as casually as a child doing a toy puzzle.

(Apartment cross-section, the author is drawing very seriously ~)

The entire apartment building was quickly completed and changed.

"When the time comes, all the curtains on the first to fourth floors will be drawn, and it will be a good leveling spot."

"As for those neighbors, I really have to think of a way to persuade them to leave."

At this time, Shen Mu finally used the map modification permission in the magic orb modifier to completely apply all his ideas to this entire apartment building.

[Ding! Your magic orb modification permission time has been exhausted!]

[Countdown: 00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds.]

Just as Shen Mu finished all of this, the countdown in the dialog box in front of him reached its end.

Shen Mu returned to his body with a whoosh, and sat back on the high-backed chair in his main stronghold house.

In front of him was the wooden long table, and the door leading to the wheat field.

But Shen Mu subconsciously turned his head to look.

Behind him.

The stairs that originally led to the second floor of the stronghold had completely transformed into a tower.

Moreover, there was a wide spiral staircase inside the tower, leading to the second floor of the main stronghold house above, and down to the sixth floor.

Shen Mu's lips curled up slightly.

As the chief designer, he knew very well that this not only led to the sixth floor, but also directly to the fifth floor!

Because the entire castle hall on the fifth floor was there.

And it also possessed the main entrance of this small castle, which Shen Mu had directly built in the apartment!

"I have to take a look."

Shen Mu couldn't wait.

Just as Shen Mu stood up, moved his shoulders, and looked around in confusion, the Swadian infantry and light infantry who were supposed to be on guard were not at their posts.

Even the 5 strong Swadian heavy cavalry were not there, wiping their lances with linen, looking bored as usual.

Shen Mu couldn't help but become more and more puzzled: "Where did everyone go?"

[Ding! Congratulations! You and your subordinates fought bravely and successfully defeated the enemy in a short period of time!]

[You have completed a perfect victory!]

Then, a dialog box suddenly popped up in front of Shen Mu.

"Huh?" Shen Mu was a little dumbfounded.
