[Record: Dear Player Su Mo, it has been detected that your “Heaven’s Territory” has successfully survived and did not sustain any casualties during the first disaster in the New World—the Heavy Snowfall. You will be automatically awarded the “Golden” Disaster Benefit from the game within seven days. Please select the reward content within 24 hours to avoid missing the selection period.]

[Record: Dear Player Su Mo, there is still one more hour until your reward content selection period ends. Please select your reward content as soon as possible. Otherwise, the game will randomly draw a reward by default after the selection period has expired.]

[Record: Dear Player Su Mo, the game has detected that you have failed to select your Disaster Benefit within the time period. The reward content will be automatically drawn and issued by the game.]

[Record: Your reward is being drawn…]

[Record: Congratulations Player Su Mo, the first Gold Disaster Benefit reward has been drawn. Congratulations to your territory for obtaining a special building (Danger level: High; Resources Level: High). The reward will be issued within three days. Please await its arrival patiently.]

[Record: Your reward is being drawn…]

[Record: Congratulations Player Su Mo, the second Gold Disaster Benefit reward has been drawn. Congratulations to your territory for obtaining intermediate professional residents (25 people).]

[Record: Please be noted that the intermediate professional residents are not human clones that were created out of thin air by the game nor were they taken from other territories. The awarded population is from the player’s hometown—Earth. The first batch of humans released into the game had more physical defects. Thus, they were retracted by the game to another space to be repaired and rereleased into the game. (Note: There is a certain degree of side effects caused during the repairing process, including but not limited to—memory disorder, change in temperament, cognitive disorders, etc. These side effects will not last for an extended period and will slowly recover as the game issues them a game panel. You can greatly shorten the recovery period with proper guidance from the territory lord.)]

[Record: Your reward is being drawn…]

[Record: Congratulations Player Su Mo, the third Gold Disaster Benefit reward has been drawn. Congratulations to your territory for obtaining ordinary residents (750 people).]

[Record: The ordinary residents will be randomly selected according to the bonds of player, Su Mo. The deeper the bond with the player, the greater the possibility of being drawn.]

[Record: Note 1: The bond of residents is not limited to Earth. A player will also naturally create bonds with creatures within special ruins. The higher the bond score, the greater the possibility of being drawn.]

[Record: Note 2: The deeper the bond level between the residents and the player, the more resources will be brought together along with their arrival.

…

It had been half a month since they left the territory and there was no way for Su Mo to open his game panel during this period to receive the notifications.

After he had opened the game panel after so long, the countless message prompts drowned Su Mo’s entire field of vision almost instantly.

Among them, there were a few green messages that were prompts from the game, a few dark red messages that were game alerts, and also a few yellow messages that were the reward drawing.

In the mix, there were also some very ordinary white messages. Several colored messages appeared at once on the screen.

For a minute, Su Mo was startled and found it difficult to distinguish the important messages from the unimportant ones.

‘I knew it. The mysterious black building and the murlocs that appeared were rewards from the game.

‘It was because I wasn’t in the territory and couldn’t open my game panel. Therefore, I was unable to receive the notifications.’

Su Mo looked from top to bottom and finally got the answer after seeing that the game issued rewards after the first disaster in the New World which resulted in the strange changes in the territory.

At the same time, when he glanced at the 750 ordinary residents being drawn and the few error messages with time stamps behind them, Su Mo scratched his head after understanding the situation.

The time the game had issued the prompt happened around midnight when he was asleep.

There was a possibility that the strange dream had caused the error in the reward drawing. Thus, a group of murlocs with a bond level that reached Level 9 Legendary had been drawn.

As for why there was a strange dream, Su Mo had temporarily put it behind his mind and did not think much about it.

He continued to look down the panel.

There was a long list of notifications after the three rewards were distributed.

Since the territory lord was not within the territory, the game randomly dropped the reward within the territory since it could not contact the player to choose the designated location.

Fortunately, the mysterious building and murloc village had not directly landed on the village or the underground shelter. Otherwise, it would have crushed all the buildings and facilities within the original location.

Neither was the building dropped directly on the territory’s border lines that were a distance of hundreds of kilometers from the village, making it difficult to investigate and communicate.

The location of the mysterious building and the murloc village was not bad.

The former was a few kilometers away from Hope Village and could be included in the village’s jurisdiction when it turned into a town.

The latter was located in the plains about 60 kilometers away from Hope Village and the distance needed to travel would be difficult in the snow. Thus, both sides would not have to worry about a sudden ambush or robbery.
