The latter was the Sparta army, commanded by Hatos.
Nangong Jin would continue recruiting at the Octagonal Cage and systematically use the Evolution Pool to create High-level King-level Soldiers. He would also invest five million Gold Coins monthly in military expenses, dedicated to evolving them into High-level Kings.
But developing their forces wasn’t just about recruitment. They also needed military action to temper their soldiers.
Wang Yi scheduled the third exploration of the World of Suffering, while Jelena and the others proposed a plan for world conquest. To this end, the Western Expedition Army was established.
This Western Expedition Army was to be led by Xiang Yun as Commander-in-Chief, with 3,333 Celestial Eagle Warriors as its main force. Their mission was to wage war across the globe. They weren’t aiming to unify the entire world, but to subjugate all other powers and seize control of all important resources.
All spoils of war from the expedition would be dedicated to funding military and administrative affairs!
’Jelena and the others are far more ambitious than I am. If I don’t interfere, it probably won’t be long before they really do unify the entire world...’
Wang Yi sighed to himself. With such a powerful army as a guarantee, unifying the world was just a formality.
In the days that followed, Wang Yi’s life was a strange mix of busy and idle.
No one dared cause trouble in his territory. With Jelena and the others managing it, everything operated in an orderly fashion. The territory was stable, both internally and externally, and wealth steadily accumulated. Wang Yi was effectively an AFK Lord.
But he himself was extremely busy from dawn till dusk. He had to fix cars, exercise, patrol the territory, go on expeditions, travel to and from Yamero Star, oversee immigration, manage construction projects, erect the Starlight Arch Bridge, spend time with Li Longyu, and even attend classes at the Hundred Skills Academy.
Wang Yi only slept two hours a day, wishing he could use one day as two. He lived a life more intense than a high school senior cramming for finals, but of course, it was also incredibly fulfilling.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed. On this day, the soldiers of the Manzi Camp and the War God Camp returned. The sweep of the Ancient Barbarian Country had come to an end. Man Datou’s military rank had been promoted to Four-star War General, and Zhao Wukang had also become a One-star War General.
The Manzi Camp also brought back a large amount of supplies. Wang Yi didn’t care about mundane things like Gold Coins, leaving them entirely to the Eco-Castle to distribute as it saw fit.
What Wang Yi did care about were the Chaos Blind Boxes. The Manzi Camp had brought back a total of 8 golden ones.
’Chaos Blind Boxes are getting rarer and rarer. The Manzi Camp swept through the entire Ancient Barbarian Country and only brought back 8 golden ones. I haven’t opened a blind box in a long time. If there are no more Chaos Blind Boxes in the future, won’t my two Talents become useless? If only there were a way to reliably obtain Chaos Blind Boxes...’
Wang Yi sighed to himself. Soon, he brought the eight golden blind boxes to the Wukong Dojo. He clasped his hands and bowed, then began to open them.

"I’ll take the ninth one! Let me see what functions this Mysterious Newspaper has!"
After Wang Yi made his choice, the Enhance +9 Construction Drawings appeared in his hand. He used it immediately, constructing the nine-times Enhanced Mysterious Newspaper right in front of him.
It was a building shaped like a giant tortoise, about the size of a tank. Its "tortoise shell" was covered in ornaments that looked like pot-lid radars.

’Huh, a living newspaper office?’
Curious, Wang Yi called out in a clear voice, "Got any newspapers? Give me one!"
The giant tortoise-like Mysterious Newspaper opened its mouth and actually spat out a newspaper at Wang Yi.
Wang Yi took a look. The newspaper had four pages. Three and a half pages were filled with characters he couldn’t understand, like garbled code. Of that, half a page seemed to be written in the Ancient Divine Language, leaving only half a page of readable content.
