“Successfully recruited villager – Liu Yi! Gold coins consumed: 100!”
“Finally! A hidden villager has finally appeared!”
Seeing the strong man walk out of the Lord's Hall, Long Tao was in tears, feeling that all his efforts had been worth it!
This was a villager he had recruited with a full 100 gold coins!
In the future, he could not only be trained as a hero, but his potential was also limitless.
With abundant resources, becoming a Demigod was not impossible.
The Reputation Points were well spent!
“In my previous life, during the Chaos of the Gods… countless Alien God descended, and many deeply hidden usage techniques of the Lord’s Will were exposed by higher civilizations.”
“If I remember correctly.”
“A villager recruited with 100 gold coins is already top-tier!”
“What a pity…”
Long Tao still shook his head with a hint of regret, “It is said that the racial tech trees of higher civilizations give them a small chance to refresh villagers with hidden talents, which must be purchased with purple crystal coins! Those are the true treasures, usable even after becoming a God.”
“The Blue Star Human Race definitely has no chance.”
Then, he opened his friends list, his eyes filled with suspicion again.
“No… No…”
“Wasn't the first base upgrade reward in the previous life given to Seventh Prince?”
In his previous life, he and Lin Yi were “good brothers” for three hundred years, so he couldn’t claim to understand him deeply.
Terms like ‘background influence’ had absolutely no relation to the latter.
Although the other party unexpectedly recruited a legendary hero in the later stages of the trial and obtained the title of Rookie King through a series of fortuitous encounters.
But that was after the Level 3 territory stage, so how did he manage to complete the territory upgrade ahead of time, right under the Imperial Family’s nose?
“Resource Chest!”
Long Tao's eyes, narrowed to a slit, burst with light, “Ultimately, the causality has changed, allowing him to find a resource chest at the start!”
Besides that, he couldn't think of any other way for Lin Yi to upgrade his territory!
Everyone needed hundreds of units of materials.
You couldn’t possibly just chop a few dozen pieces of wood and be done with it, could you?
Does such a thing exist?
It doesn’t!
“Now, the methods for refreshing initial villagers with Reputation Points, and the trial version of the treasure-hunting radar, have not yet been disclosed by the Alien God. I can use this time difference to develop quickly.”
“Hmph! Just you wait, Lin Yi.” Long Tao clenched his fists tightly and muttered to himself, “Temporary good luck won’t change the outcome! Without mastering higher knowledge, you can only be trampled underfoot by me!”
“The weekly event is about to begin; let’s start widening the gap here!”
Opening the territory information and glancing at the tight treasury figures, Long Tao quickly contacted Seventh Prince to request another batch of purple crystal coins!
As for how to repay the favor later…
After a while, when the Dimensional Rift erupts again and the Empire is on the verge of collapse, pledging allegiance to the Prince… that would no longer be his concern.
After all, once the Rookie King trial ended, he wasn't even sure if he would return to the Empire.
…
“Done!”
“This looks much more comfortable!”
Lin Yi clapped his hands with a smile, admiring his masterpiece with satisfaction.
Looking around.
The territory that was empty just ten minutes ago.
Now had neatly arranged resident thatched cottages, about thirty of them, encircling the Lord's Hall.
Near the edge of the territory.
There were also four fully loaded warehouses, which, if seen by other Lords, would surely cause an excited reaction.
Two resource collection points like the Lumber Mill and Quarry were also established, significantly increasing collection efficiency.
The appearance of the Simple Workbench also allowed all villagers to be equipped with various tools.
Now.
Although Lin Yi's territory was small, it was fully functional and had come alive!
“Next step is to build barracks and conscript soldiers… but it seems there’s no iron ore.”
Thinking of this, he returned to the Lord’s Hall and opened the unit blueprint from the corner chest.
“Scarlet Tassel Spearman”
Type: Unit Blueprint (Consumable)
Grade: Rare Intermediate
Effect: Transforms villagers into a special Level 15 unit, automatically learning initial skills.
Race Restriction: Human, Demi-human

…
“Oioioi…”
“Unbelievable!”
After reading the unit blueprint content, Lin Yi finally realized what a treasure he had found!
Directly transforms into a Level 15 unit!
They were all proper second-tier experts!
Training a batch immediately would undoubtedly greatly enhance the territory's safety!
“I have beast hides and other materials, but I only lack iron ore.”
“How should I handle this!”
Lin Yi frowned slightly, just as he was about to use other materials to trade with other Lords.
Suddenly.
Three silver chests at his feet caught his attention.
“Random Resource Chest”
“Self-Selected Resource Chest”
“Special Chest”
“Just what I needed, open them all!” Lin Yi grinned.
“Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained Silver Ore x150, Wood x400, Stone x450.”
“Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained self-selected resources: Iron Ore x200.”
“Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained Reputation Points x10, Fertile Land (Rare) Blueprint x1.”
“Fertile Land.”
“Growth speed increased by 30%, yield increased by 50%.”
“Soldiers and horses move, provisions go first. Future food supply is guaranteed!”
He glanced at the materials required for the Fertile Land.
Magic Core Powder, Soil Stained with Magic… Hmm, very good, never seen them before!
Lin Yi pouted, “The Lord profession is indeed difficult! Even with my Supreme Trait, it’s like this, let alone other Lords…”
The immediate priority was to transform the first batch of warriors.
He left the hall, looked around, and once again surveyed the terrain surrounding his territory.
South, beyond a low hill, was a vast basin rich in resources.
To the west lay an intricate dense forest.
To the east and north were plains stretching over ten kilometers, with further distances shrouded in mist.
“The unit blueprint can only be used once.”
“Ordinary ones are fine, but barracks with unit transformation effects must be specially protected.”
After a moment of thought.
Lin Yi chose to build the first barracks in the south, near the low hill.
Although this low hill was not high, only about ten meters, it was not enough to be called a natural barrier.
It was still much safer than the plains, which were vulnerable to cavalry charges.
“Materials consumed: Wood x15, Stone x25, Iron Ore x2!”
“Barracks under construction…”
Swirling white mist appeared out of nowhere.
After a short wait, a single-story building of about a hundred square meters, covered with solemn patterns, rose from the ground.
............
“Normal Barracks”
Type: Military Building
Units:
Wooden Spear Militia: Level (3), Resource Cost (Normal Wood x1, Copper Coins x80, Transformation Time (1 minute)
Excellent Archer: Level (5), Resource Cost (Ox Sinew x1, Hardwood x1, Silver Coins x2, Transformation Time (5 minutes)
.........
“Nothing special…”
Lin Yi walked around the barracks, then used the Rare Unit Blueprint.
Bang—
The blueprint instantly turned into a stream of light, merging into the barracks and disappearing.
He opened the panel again.
Under unit details, the Scarlet Tassel Spearman transformation option prominently appeared!
“Old man!”
“Assemble!”
