Floating Island - Triple S Talent

He had been confined in his secret room for almost two full hours, immersed in his never-ending work.

"That's enough for today," he murmured softly, covering his yawning mouth. "Tomorrow we'll continue, and also install the Galactic Fortress and Divine Dragon Nest."

With practiced movements, Lein gathered all the items before him. In a matter of seconds, all the equipment was sucked into the storage ring wrapped around his finger.

These items would soon be distributed to his subordinates, used for the development of their alliance and main island.

After ensuring everything was safely stored, Lein left the secret room. He walked towards his bedroom, ready to rest his weary body and mind.

***

That morning, Lein woke up earlier than usual. The gentle morning sunlight bathed the green grassy yard beside the city hall, where he began his daily exercise routine.

"One… two… three…"

With a straight posture, Lein counted each push-up movement with a steady and consistent rhythm. His now muscular body moved up and down with well-trained strength. Sweat slowly soaked his body, a testament to two months of dedication and consistency in maintaining physical exercise. After thirty minutes of exercising, Lein finally stopped, regulating his now heavy breathing.

"Wow… I didn't realize my body had improved this much," Lein said as he looked at his well-toned, muscular body.

Back on Earth, Lein had once tried to create a workout schedule and exercise routine every morning. However, those plans always fell apart midway and never reached fruition.

Lein rested for a moment, then prepared to continue his goal of building the Divine Dragon Nest that he had just acquired.

"I'm curious what it will look like. Will it release a real dragon with a long body?" Lein wondered with curiosity.

Lein walked towards the parking area filled with several small cars, vehicles typically used to move around the city hall. He selected one of the nearby golf carts, got in, and directed it towards the back of the city hall, where the main monster nest was located.

Along the way to the nest, he was greeted by a variety of small buildings—guard posts, gardens, and well-maintained parks. The expansive city hall made it take about five minutes for Lein to reach his destination.

A towering iron gate stood firmly before him. On either side of the gate, guard posts with five officers each stood watch with full vigilance.

"Open the gate!" the team captain ordered sharply, raising his hand in salute as he saw Lein's small car approaching.

In an instant, the long portal was lifted, followed by the wide opening of the gate. Lein's small car drove on without obstruction, and he took a moment to politely smile at the guards.

As Lein's car entered the main monster nest area, he was greeted by the sight of various bizarre buildings in different shapes and sizes. While many appeared uniform, there were some that differed in significant aspects such as roof shape, color, and construction materials.

Lein's gaze stopped on one square-shaped building, standing five meters tall and ten meters wide. At the top of the building's roof, a golden wolf's head was majestically mounted, radiating an aura of nobility that startled Lein. The golden gleam of the wolf's head seemed both intimidating and awe-inspiring to anyone who saw it.

(Golden Wolf Den) A place imbued with the calling of the golden wolf knights. A location that radiates strength and pride.

- Type: Swordsman

- Level: 30

- Summoning Ratio: 10 golden wolves/day

- Ability: Creatures with very high damage, capable of ignoring enemy defenses in certain attacks. The fear effect it generates intimidates and terrifies creatures with lower bloodlines.

"This is strong enough," Lein murmured while looking at the golden wolf den with satisfaction. However, his gaze soon shifted to another building that looked far stranger. It was a structure resembling a grave with a large cross-shaped tombstone. A white skeletal hand appeared to grip the ground tightly, giving an eerie impression to anyone who saw it.

(Necromancer's Grave) The primary grave for the dead in their world, a dream place for those who wish to be resurrected a second time. Creatures with great and powerful magic energy, but cursed by fate.

- Type: Magic

- Level: 34

- Summoning Ratio: 8 necromancers/day

- Ability: Creatures with a very strong curse effect, capable of dealing greater damage to weaker light creatures. Can be resurrected once after their first death.

"Immortal?" Lein said in awe, seeing the necromancer's ability. But after thinking about it, he smiled faintly. "But it seems that it only applies once," he thought. There's no way a true immortality ability could be continuously utilized by an army of the undead.

Lein continued walking past several other unique buildings. There was one building shaped like a large red stone, enveloped in scorching flames. Around the building, several stone golems with lava flowing through the crevices of their bodies stood tall, appearing mighty and intimidating.

Another building was shaped like a large tree with lush, fresh green leaves. Its trunk was massive and full of wrinkles, displaying the power and grace of nature. On the tree's trunk was a door, and Lein occasionally saw creatures with round heads made of large leaves emerging from behind the door.

"What kind of creatures are those?" Lein wondered, then checked the status panel of the creature.

(Olive Leaf Archer) A creature with high intelligence and extraordinary skills. They have a close bond with nature and are highly adept at hiding. Their connection with nature is unbroken, lasting indefinitely.

- Type: Archer

- Level: 30

- Summoning Ratio: 10 Olive Leaf Archers/day

- Ability: Creatures with near-perfect natural energy, capable of blending with nature like lifeless entities. They have a very strong instinct in environments close to nature.

"Very strange," Lein murmured to himself, fascinated by the unique creature.

Before he knew it, Lein had arrived at the main building situated at the center of the nest area. This building was managed by several staff members tasked with leveling up newly summoned monsters and assigning them according to needs.

The area visible behind the city hall was just a small part of the overall nests Lein owned; other nests were scattered in various other locations, far from the main city to avoid disrupting life there.

"Welcome, Sir," a guard greeted Lein respectfully as he stopped in front of the operational management building.

"Find a vacant spot to build the new nest," Lein ordered as he got out of his golf cart.

"Yes, Sir."

The staff member quickly typed a few words on a device resembling a tablet in his hand. Moments later, a chime sounded.

"40 meters from here, Sir. Please follow me."

The staff member politely guided Lein to an empty plot of land suitable for building the Divine Dragon Nest. Lein's mind was filled with anticipation as he rechecked the status panel of the Divine Dragon Nest stored in his storage ring.

(Divine Dragon Nest) A nest for creatures with divine dragon lineage. A dream place for divine dragons to grow and increase their power.

- Summoning: 1 dragon every 7 days

- Summoning Cost: 10 high-tier crystals

- Daily Consumption: Number of dragons x 1 high-tier crystal

Lein smiled with hope, imagining the power that would soon be under his control.

Not long after, Lein and the staff member reached the empty plot of land that could be used to build the new nest.

[Detected (Divine Dragon Nest), would you like to build it at the specified location?]

"Yes."

Immediately, the paper in Lein's hand disappeared, replaced by a bright white light. Shortly afterward, the ground in front of them cracked and split. From within the earth, a structure began to emerge.

"Step back," Lein instructed the staff member as he observed the cracks spreading and growing larger.

The staff member was startled but quickly stepped away from the cracking area.

Slowly but surely, the cracked area expanded to 20 meters from its original center point. A large cave structure came into view, made of flawless crystal-clear stone.

Despite being made of crystal, the dragon cave still supported the growth of plants, even with a small tree on top.

(Divine Dragon Nest)

[next summoning in 23:59:48]

[next summoning in 23:59:36]

The countdown timer for the summoning continued to decrease.

"Well, I thought I'd be able to get it right away," Lein said with disappointment. He was eagerly anticipating the appearance and status of the divine dragon. In his mind, it had to be something truly extraordinary.

"Alright, we need to be patient... Next is to build the defense towers," Lein said calmly.

He then turned around and headed back to the nest management building. He didn't forget to hand over a few (Divine Dragon Nests) to the staff member beside him so that they could build several more nests in other locations.

As for the other nests, which were numerous, they would need to be built in areas far away from the city.
