"P-Pig Beasts?"
Man Datou blinked. He felt like his Lord was joking. Going to all this trouble, with torches and bonfires, just to fend off Pig Beasts?
What Wang Yi didn't know was that in this world, Pig Beasts were just little piglets. They never grew large, and the heaviest ones weighed no more than twenty pounds.
Although these little things were called "beasts," their combat power was barely stronger than a chicken's.
Wang Yi was indeed unaware of the Pig Beasts' true nature. He took the second void invasion very seriously and urged Yang Qingniu and the others to get busy.
Yang Qingniu was eager to prove himself. Seeing how seriously Wang Yi was taking things, he quickly ran back to the village and called over Yang Wanli, Zhang Dashan, and the others.
And so, in the middle of the night, before the void invasion began, Wang Yi's small territory was bustling with people. It was a forest of torches, surrounded by eight bonfires.
The villagers were all on edge. Man Datou mounted the Rock Giant Scorpion, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Wang Yi himself was adjusting the Crossbow Machine Carriage.
There were also 15 Combat Chickens lined up in formation, guarding the entrance to the warehouse courtyard as if facing a formidable enemy.
Soon, the six-hour preparation time ended, and Wang Yi once again received a notification about the void invasion.
His spirits lifted, and he shouted, "It's coming! It's coming! Everyone, watch your surroundings and be on high alert!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light suddenly flared up about twenty meters north of the territory.
A spiderweb-like spatial fissure appeared and rapidly expanded, a muffled clap of thunder echoing from within.
The villagers now looked tense, staring fixedly at the spatial fissure without daring to make a sound.
About ten seconds later, the void fissure transformed into a spatial passage. Suddenly, oinking and snorting sounds came from within, followed by a stream of pug-sized, tender-white piglets charging out.
Under the firelight, although the little piglets weren't large, they were all chubby, even giving the impression of having fat heads and big ears.
They scrambled on their little short legs, OINK OINK, SNORT SNORT, charging straight for Wang Yi's territory.
"Attack!"
Wang Yi roared. He immediately turned the front of the carriage and quickly began firing Flying Light Arrows, unleashing a barrage at the piglets.
But Man Datou and the other villagers were all a bit stunned.
'Where are the monsters we were promised?'
'Aren't these just a bunch of fat little pigs?'
'Do we even need to fight these? Are we sure this isn't a gift from the heavens?'
"Attack! Don't just stand there! We absolutely cannot let these piglets…"
Wang Yi trailed off, then chuckled at himself.
'I was way too tense,' he thought. 'I didn't expect the monsters from the second void invasion to be this weak.'
'It seems the first few waves of the void invasion aren't very difficult. Maybe this is just an early-game bonus!'
Wang Yi had a realization. The rest was just a formality. Three thousand little piglets posed no threat to his territory.
He didn't hold back, though. The Flying Light Arrows rained down relentlessly as he tried to kill all the Pig Beasts as quickly as possible.
This time, he also wanted to compete for a spot in the top one hundred for a fast clear, which came with extra rewards.
With the Crossbow Machine Carriage's insane output, the battle ended quickly. In just over ten minutes, all 3,000 Pig Beasts were eliminated!
On Wang Yi's side, three people were injured.
One had accidentally fallen and scraped his scalp. Another got his foot stepped on by Yang Qingniu. The third had tried to secretly pet the Rock Giant Scorpion and got too close, getting his shoulder scratched by the scorpion's hard carapace. He was the most seriously injured.
In short, it was another crushing victory.
In the firelight, the villagers cheered, but Man Datou yawned, completely uninterested.
Wang Yi, however, heard the pleasant system notifications.
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully defending against the second wave of the void invasion. You have absorbed 3200 points of Chaos Energy from the void fissure. Your territory has expanded to a hundred-meter radius. Reward: 15 Gold Coins, 1 Random Building Drawings."
"Ding! The void incursions will not end. The third wave of the void invasion will occur in a few days. Please look forward to it."
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully defending against the second wave of the void invasion and ranking in the top one hundred for a fast clear on this world's Eastern Continent. Bonus reward: one Chaos Blind Box, one Green Chaos Egg!"
A light flashed in front of Wang Yi, and the reward items were delivered. They were identical to what he'd received after fending off the first wave of monster invasions!
"Since everyone is here, let's pull an all-nighter. Big Head, start up the Gourmet Processing Plant. Captain Zhang, take some men and help process the Pig Beasts. Captain Yang, you and a few others set up the big Iron Pot. Pick out a few of the best-looking little piggies, clean them up, and fetch some Clear Water. We'll stew a pot, roast a few, and have a feast!"
Wang Yi was delighted. After giving everyone their tasks, he went to the warehouse courtyard to secretly inspect his system rewards.
The 15 Gold Coins were of no use to him, so he deposited them directly into the warehouse.
As for the Random Building Drawings, he got [Construction Drawings for a Basic Watchtower].
[Construction Drawings for a Basic Watchtower: Use to build a Basic Watchtower in your territory. Requires 30 Stone. The Basic Watchtower is 20 meters tall and can be garrisoned. Ascend to gain a high vantage point and monitor for any unusual movements in all directions.]
'A high vantage point? No other functions?'
'This Watchtower is only 20 meters tall, so I probably can't see that far anyway,' Wang Yi thought. He casually put the drawings away and looked at the Chaos Egg.
[Chaos Egg: Green quality. Consumes one hundred points of Chaos Energy to hatch a love-obsessed wife for you. Please note: If you cannot satisfy your love-obsessed wife's romantic fantasies, she may cheat on you or run away with another man.]
'Holy shit, this Chaos Egg is ridiculous. It can even hatch a wife? And a love-obsessed one who might cheat on me and run away at that. What the hell would I need that for? Am I tired of living a peaceful life?'
Wang Yi shook his head. He wouldn't hatch the Chaos Egg in front of him even if it killed him.
Thus, only one of Wang Yi's system rewards remained: a green Chaos Blind Box.
"Chaos Blind Box, my favorite. Come on, give your Lord a huge surprise!"
Wang Yi immediately opened the Chaos Blind Box. As one hundred points of Chaos Energy were consumed, a selection window appeared before him.
====
Ding! One Box, Many Openings Talent activated. Calculating 10 opening results for the current Chaos Blind Box.

'Enhance +10! My One Box, Many Openings talent gives at least three results, but I wonder if there's an upper limit. If I could get items enhanced dozens or even hundreds of times, that would be incredible!'
Wang Yi was full of anticipation. As for the results of this opening, he decisively chose the Enhance +10 green item: [Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles]!
