Chapter 2 - Chapter 002: Establishing Territory - Hope Village

Zhou Bai's eyes fell on the screen before her.

After the Doomsday System announced it was officially operational, the content on the screen had already changed.

The main section was the personal profile at the top.

[Character: Zhou Bai]

[Race: Human]

[Level: lv.0 (0/100)]

[Identity: Refugee]

[Life Value: 86/100]

[Attributes: Constitution (4/10), Intelligence (7/10), Agility (5/10), Defense (2/10)]

To the left of the personal profile, the friend function was displayed, currently not enabled.

Below were sections for Map, Inventory, Private Messages, and others.

It was obviously a standard game interface.

And above these sections, a floating notification layer was exactly the content of the system announcement that had just appeared.

[Host, do you wish to bind the Lord Token?]

"Yes." Zhou Bai answered crisply and decisively.

After making the selection, the notification disappeared, and a small red dot appeared in the Inventory tab. When she clicked it, there was a Lord Token in one of the slots.

Zhou Bai directly clicked on the Lord Token, and an introduction page opened up in front of her.

[Item: Lord Token]

[Introduction: Can establish a territory upon use. Territory can provide shelter and defend against Demon Beasts]

After reading the introduction, Zhou Bai couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.

Defend against Demon Beasts?

Does this mean that there will be Demon Beast invasions in the Doomsday Game?

What exactly are Demon Beasts?

All this was unknown, and the unknown itself was terrifying.

But what Zhou Bai felt lucky about was that she now had the Lord Token, could establish a territory, and have a place of her own to be safe.

Trading a few buildings for this reward was really worth it!

The next moment, Zhou Bai explained to her parents about the reward she received and the situation she encountered.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhengping felt a little relieved. He had been worried that the unknown dangers of the Doomsday Game would make it hard for him to protect his wife and daughter.

Now that his daughter had this Lord Token, as long as they found a suitable place to establish a territory, their safety was somewhat guaranteed.

"Let's go find a suitable territory," Zhou Zhengping said directly.

Since it was certain there would be Demon Beasts after Blue Star's gamification, it was best to establish the territory early, for the sake of safety.

"Okay." Zhou Bai nodded. They urgently needed a safe location now.

After that, the family of three began to take action, preparing to find a suitable place nearby. As they moved, they also started to encounter other people.

Compared to their family's steadiness, the people they met were clearly panicked.

"There's a monster, a monster ahead! Run!" When he saw Zhou Zhengping's family, someone shouted in terror.

"What kind of monster?" Zhou Zhengping asked. Now that Blue Star's gamification had turned into reality, the only thing they could do was try to understand this game world as much as possible.

"It looked like a dog, but it's grown several times bigger. It attacks people on sight. Several people were bitten to death on the spot. Everyone scattered and ran, I don't know which way it went. Hurry up and run!" After blurting this out, the person sped up and ran off.

And after that person, countless more people on the run followed.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhengping had no choice but to grab his wife and daughter and run too, but he deliberately veered off the main route.

After witnessing this "escape," he understood very clearly just how important the token his daughter had was in this apocalypse. He didn't know whether it could be robbed, so in this situation, it was best to keep away from crowds.

Besides, it was better to turn the token into a territory as soon as possible.

That mutated dog must be a Demon Beast, and who knew what other Demon Beasts might appear after that.

What Zhou Zhengping could think of, Zhou Bai naturally could as well.

She'd only been lazy about thinking because she always had her parents to depend on, but now her parents were in danger too, so how could she just rely on them?

She had also observed during their movement that, although all the buildings around had disappeared, the basic environment was nearly the same as where they had been before. She confirmed this on the map.

Since that was the case, why not pick the villa district they'd been in before? The villa district had been especially chosen by the developer with a Feng Shui master. There was a mountain behind, and a river flowing in front — backed by the mountain, facing the water. After development, it quickly became the hottest property in the area.

So, making it their territory meant it would have considerable development potential.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai called to her parents, "Dad, Mom, I just thought of a good place. Let's go have a look, okay?"
