Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

The group walked quickly, and Lin Haifeng, being a third-tier professional himself, had crossed more than half of the steel city and arrived at the castle entrance in less than 10 minutes.
Along the way, Wen Yu carefully observed the architectural style of the city.
The style resembled some ancient European cities, with buildings that looked like iron coffins, empty inside.
According to Lin Haifeng, because the treasure land had just opened, the military had not yet deployed large-scale troops into it.
However, it was foreseeable that once some issues were resolved, this place would become an alternative city that combined garrison and research.
When the group arrived in front of the castle, Lin Haifeng directly presented an identification card-like object.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers guarding the castle entrance immediately allowed them to pass.
...
The interior of the castle was large, with spacious areas divided into three levels.
Lin Haifeng explained, "The first and second floors are the residences for the special operations team stationed here. The third floor contains the conference room and the command center, along with some other functional departments. Additionally, there is one more level below, which is currently the territory of the research department."
After a brief introduction, Lin Haifeng led Wen Yu directly to the third floor.
...
At the end of the stairs, Fang Wenhai and a middle-aged man dressed in white were already waiting.
Lin Haifeng nodded at the two of them and walked directly into the large conference room on the third floor.
Once everyone was seated, Lin Haifeng introduced, "This is Fang Wenhai, whom you have met. He is currently the overall commander of military operations in this treasure land and the only fourth-tier professional here."
Fang Wenhai nodded at Wen Yu.
"This is Zhao Xiang, the vice president of the Academy of Sciences, who is currently in charge of research in this treasure land and some special tasks."
Lin Haifeng did not provide specific details about their work to Wen Yu, likely due to it being classified information, and Wen Yu himself was not particularly interested in such matters.
Then, Lin Haifeng pointed at Wen Yu.
"This is Sequence Two, Wen Yu!"
"I called him over partly to deal with potential large-scale wars and fourth-tier or above strong practitioners from the demonic clan."
"Recently, ever since Xiao Hai obtained intelligence on the opponent, he has been complaining about the lack of strong practitioners. Now I can provide you with a strong ally."
Hearing Lin Haifeng's teasing words, Fang Wenhai frowned slightly.
"It might still not be enough..."
"Oh? Has a new situation arisen?"
Fang Wenhai stood up, directly pulling aside a nearby curtain, signaling a guard to turn on the projector.
Then, looking at Lin Haifeng and Wen Yu, Fang Wenhai said seriously, "Let me first introduce the general situation here to Wen Yu!"
...
"This treasure land does not belong to any known type of treasure land."
As the projector activated, a huge map appeared before Wen Yu.
"The entire treasure land resembles a circular area. According to our troops' reconnaissance, this area covers an impressive 100,000 square kilometers."
Wen Yu silently calculated in his mind; 100,000 square kilometers was roughly equivalent to a quarter of Heilongjiang Province.
This was already a considerable area for a treasure land.
Seeing Wen Yu nod in acknowledgment, Fang Wenhai continued, "Here is where we are located."
Fang Wenhai pointed to a small green dot on the edge of the circular map.
The small town itself was not large; based on Wen Yu's estimation, its size was probably only one-third that of the entire Chaihe Town, making it indeed insignificant on a 100,000 square kilometer scale.
"Here is the location of our opponent," Fang Wenhai pointed directly at a black dot that was symmetrical to the small green dot.
"According to our observations, the opposing location is also a city, comparable in size to ours, but the difference is that there are three Demon Realm Gates in their city."
