They had thought that the trap hadn’t been triggered, but after walking up to the cage, they saw a little cat in the cage . The little cat had snow-white fur, which looked incredibly soft and made one want to reach over and touch it . It looked like a cute little pet, and because it was currently lying in the cage with its eyes shut, it seemed to be sleeping .
However, what was different between this creature and a cat was that it had a rhombus-shaped crystal on its forehead, which was a Void Crystal . Evidently, this little cat was a Void Beast .
Seeing this, Zhao Fu was delighted . After searching for so long, he had finally found one today . Everyone came over to the cage, and when the little cat heard this, it opened its pure-white eyes . Seeing so many people standing around it, it became incredibly scared and started to run around the cage . However, it couldn’t escape .
“Congratulations, Your Majesty!” Seeing that they had finally caught a Void Beast, everyone smiled and congratulated Zhao Fu .
Zhao Fu nodded and also smiled as he looked at the Void Beast trying to escape . He stretched his hand into the cage, and the Void Beast was pulled into his grasp .
The Void Beast struggled vigorously within Zhao Fu’s grasp and howled, and it felt a sense of danger . The black-cloaked person in front of it seemed to want to kill it, so it madly struggled; however, it did not have the strength to escape from the hand that was holding it .
By now, Zhao Fu’s other hand was around the Void Beast’s neck, and he about to break the Void Beast’s neck and take the Void Crystal .
Feeling the large hand on its neck, the Void Beast knew that if the hand twisted, its life would be over . The Void Beast’s eyes were filled with terror and despair, and tears poured out of its eyes . It looked at the black-cloaked figure with a pleading expression in the hopes that the person would spare it .
The Void Beast looked a lot like a little cat and was extremely cute . If it fell into someone else’s hands, that person would have definitely treasured it and treated it lovingly .
Its teary eyes seemed to be able to move anyone . However, it was a pity that it had fallen into Zhao Fu’s hands . Zhao Fu was a very rational person, and he would not let it go simply because it looked cute, as he needed its Void Crystal .

Zhao Fu’s hands started to twist, and the Void Beast struggled in despair as an aura of death enveloped it .
Suddenly, Zhao Fu stopped because he suddenly remembered the Universal Den that he had obtained . The description had said that it could be conquered by any creature and that it would spawn that kind of creature . Perhaps it could even spawn Void Beasts .
A single Void Crystal could only allow a single teleportation channel to connect with the outer world, which meant that this Void Crystal could only open up a single path . If Zhao Fu wanted to go to other places, he would need more Void Crystals . The more paths he wanted to open up, the more Void Crystals he needed .
However, given how rare Void Beasts were, it would be incredibly difficult to obtain a large number of Void Crystals . However, if Zhao Fu was able to spawn Void Beasts using a Den, the benefits Zhao Fu would gain would be massive .
Zhao Fu put the Void Beast back into the cage and took out a piece of paper . This was similar to the Life-or-Death Contract that Liu Mei had used . Back when Liu Mei had used the Life-or-Death Contract, Zhao Fu had been quite interested in it, and since then, he had bought a few . Now, it was time to use one .
Zhao Fu pricked his finger, allowing a drop of his blood to fall onto the Contract . After absorbing his blood, the Contract gave off a faint blood-red light before turning into countless blood-red motes of light that went into Zhao Fu’s body and into the Void Beast’s body . Seeing the motes of light come close, the Void Beast did not resist and closed its eyes .
Contract complete!

Zhao Fu opened the cage, but the Void Beast still had fear in its pure-white eyes and looked at Zhao Fu pitifully . However, it did not try to run because it knew that it would not be able to escape with the Contract complete .
Zhao Fu smiled and picked it up . This time, Zhao Fu was much friendlier towards it, and he cuddled it in his arms . He gently stroked its head, trying to calm it down as much as possible .
“Let’s go!” Their goal was to catch a Void Beast, and now that they had caught one, there was no need for them to continue staying here .
Three days later, Zhao Fu’s party returned to the Great Qin Village . Over the past 10 or so days, the Great Qin Village had been through some great changes . The first was that a lot of work had been done on the wall . Now, the east-facing and west-facing sides of the wall were almost complete . The wall was 10 meters high and a pure white color, giving it a feeling of purity and majesty .
These walls were already on the level of City Walls, and because there were no restrictions, Zhao Fu could build his walls however he liked . Of course, these walls were not the final form of the Great Qin Village’s City Walls – as the Great Qin Village developed, these walls would also be upgraded .
As the Great Qin Village’s 10 Departments started working, the Great Qin Village became much more ordered than before, and it was easier to manage . Everything, including everything from streets to houses, was cleaner and more orderly than before .
The Great Qin Village was now only 2,000 or so EXP away from leveling up to a Town, which was not much . Perhaps it would even happen today .

Apart from the development of the village, Zhang Dahu had also risen to a Stage 1 General, and he had started to train his Unique Military Profession . Zhang Dahu did not choose the Great Qin Village’s Iron Eagle Elite Soldiers, and he instead trained his own Unique Military Profession called the Tiger Saber Corps .
The Tiger Saber Corps used sabers and were adept in both infantry and cavalry battles . The development of the Tiger Sabre Corps would be left completely to Zhang Dahu .
What surprised Zhao Fu was that Li Si had already broken through to Stage 1 . Zhao Fu had always treated Li Si as an Internal Affairs Minister, and aside from talking with him about governmental matters, Zhao Fu had never asked him about his cultivation . Now that he had heard that Li Si had broken through to Stage 1, he was stunned .
In actuality, Li Si’s grade was quite high, SS grade, and he had been by Zhao Fu’s side since the creation of the Great Qin Village .
Li Si was not a General, so he did not unlock a Unique Military Profession . However, he unlocked an ability that allowed him to foster and train people in managing internal affairs . Generals could conquer lands and maintain order . Even though they had exceptional fighting abilities and were quite powerful, they could not be used for governance .
As for Ministers, they did not have any fighting abilities, but their ability to govern couldn’t be matched by Generals .
One was tough, and the other was soft . They balanced each other out like Yin and Yang, so Zhao Fu decided to develop both Ministers and Generals .
There was also one other matter, which was that the academy had been completed . The academy covered about one hectare, and there were 12 teaching rooms . It could accommodate 800 or so students, and after being completed, it was waiting to be given a name by Zhao Fu .
