Jiang Qiao was building a wooden house for Freya. It was a wooden house made of towering ancient trees.
Brandt Island's environment was too dangerous, so Jiang Qiao did not plan to leave Freya on Brandt Island.
The wooden house was just a medium. After the players passed through the door of the wooden house, they would enter Freya's space. This space was still in the Holy Spirit's original world.
"Aren't you going to build something else?"
Hai Lan moved a small stool over and observed Jiang Qiao's wooden house from the beginning to the end. Jiang Qiao had used his Creation Energy to build this huge ancient wooden house, which cost him around a hundred points.
The crystallization disease that was eroding the island seemed to be incompatible with Hai Lan's Godhead, so the crystallization could not affect the wooden house.
"The new version's theme is construction. The construction of the manor in the Inner World and the stronghold on this island."
Jiang Qiao threw a seed to Hai Lan. Hai Lan took it and looked at it. When she was about to put it in her mouth, Jiang Qiao quickly walked over and grabbed Hai Lan's arm.
"This is a game item!
And it's the original version! "Jiang Qiao felt that Hai Lan was becoming more and more stupid.
"I know." Hai Lan put the seed down. The seed's data was quickly displayed in front of Hai Lan.
[Stronghold Seed]
[Building Item]
[Description: As long as it is buried in the soil and infused with mana, it will grow the seed of an ancient tree. The tree is immune to the crystallization disease on Brandt Island.]
[Effect: A necessary item to build the initial hunting stronghold. The hunting stronghold will provide a certain attribute bonus. The Holy Spirit can rest in the stronghold, build weapons, enhance equipment, make potions, use materials obtained from hunting to craft equipment, and build various defensive structures such as walls and arrow towers.]

The size of Brandt Island wasn't like Hai Lan's Godhead Plane. Jiang Qiao estimated that the island was one-third the size of the Holy Spirit's main body.
The gamers wanted to clear all the monsters on the map. Jiang Qiao felt that it would be difficult to rely on the gamers alone. Moreover, the gamers' enjoyment was also a problem.
So, how could he maximize the players' investment in the Brander Island strategy?
Of course, the land on the island belonged to whoever conquered it!
However, the construction of a stronghold could not be considered a complete dictatorship of a single player. Any player's stronghold would welcome other players. If a player maliciously destroyed a stronghold, they would be severely punished.
This punishment was even scarier than a red name in the wild.
Secondly, the other advantage of building a stronghold was that he could hide a mistress.
The mistress Freya had wandered to the Brandt Islands due to the plot. If the Players came to the Brandt Islands to rescue her, they would definitely not let her go back to Lionheart City to suffer.
Therefore, Freya would stay on Brandt Island for a period of time. She would first stay in the initial stronghold that Jiang Qiao had just built.
After the Players obtained the Stronghold Seed and built their own stronghold, they would be able to move the mistress into their own stronghold.
All in all …
"The new map's punishment mechanism is here," Jiang Qiao said as he lightly knocked on the treehouse next to him.
"You're not going to say that the monsters can destroy strongholds, are you?"
Hai Lan was gnawing on an energy crystal. She had now become a loyal listener of Jiang Qiao's evil plan.
"Oh, you've become smarter."
Jiang Qiao showed the HP value of the treehouse to Hai Lan. The HP value displayed was: 'Initial Stronghold, Level: 1, HP: 50000/50000.'
It only had 50,000 HP, which any Shield Warrior in the Holyspirit could achieve.
"Could it be that the doll girl will die after I destroy it?"
Hai Lan realized that Jiang Qiao might do the same thing again after her previous experience.
"Dying twice in two main quests … Miss Freya is too pitiful. She will at most be injured. Whether it's a heavy injury or a light injury depends on how well the Players protect the stronghold after it is destroyed. This map has other punishments for the Players. For example, if you die more than five times while hunting the same monster, some of the Brandt Island materials collected in your backpack will be eaten by the monster. Hmm … it's actually confiscated," Jiang Qiao said.
"Is it time for the Players to build a portal after the stronghold is built?"
Hai Lan knew that Jiang Qiao's ultimate goal in coming to this island was to move all the resources on this island to the Inner World.
The resources for the Players to build in the Inner World all came from this island. Freya's wish in the main quest was to visit the Players' world.
"Hmm, the Players' ultimate goal in this map is to build a portal to the Inner World and bring the mistress back home."
Jiang Qiao was editing the chain of quests related to Brandt. The construction of the portal was a quest in the future. The Players first needed to collect enough resources to build a stronghold on the Brandt Islands that could accommodate the portal.
At the same time, the Players could not be left behind in building a manor in the Inner World … Otherwise, it would be awkward if they had a wife but not a house.
"…" Hai Lan listened to all of Jiang Qiao's plans. Other than 'you're a little genius', she had no other thoughts.
The Brandt Islands quest was undoubtedly a link between the previous and the following. If the Players really built a portal on the island to bring the mistress back to the Inner World, the construction of the Inner World would not be left behind. Moreover, that was the Players' own world, and their wives would be there. If the Players invaded the Inner World, the Players would not even need Jiang Qiao's call to resist.
After all, the Inner World was the Players' 'home'.
"Jiang Qiao, aren't you going to explore other places in this world?"
Hai Lan pointed at the horizon at the end of the island. This was a complete world, and there was a new continent at the end of the horizon.
"Do you smell something delicious?" Jiang Qiao did not think that Hai Lan would suggest exploring other places for no reason.
"There's an aura that I'm familiar with in this world … I've sensed it ever since I entered. Some are very far away, but some are very close … It could very well be my children, or something else." Hai Lan's eyes were once again filled with motherly worry as she spoke.
"I'll send my executioners to explore other parts of this world during their break time. The natives of this world definitely won't let go of such a huge gold mine. It won't be a problem to ask the Mother Goddess directly. It'll be great if we can find another Shard of Divinity," Jiang Qiao said as he rubbed Hai Lan's hair.
The complete world that Jiang Qiao could not see through the star map meant that Hai Lan's level was not up to par.
Since there was no way to cheat to understand this world, Jiang Qiao could just look for the Mother Goddess or send someone to explore it.
For example, the knights and axemen under Queen May's command would be very suitable. After all, they were very free outside of the weekends. They could roam around the world from Monday to Thursday and come back on Friday to be sandbags for the players.
