Chapter 150: Chapter 146: NewTalent(3K)_l

The City Lord’s Mansion was built in front of the Lord’s Altar, on the open space that Mu Yuan had previously reserved.
The building occupies a small area, just a few hundred square meters, containing a hall, study, guest room, underground training field, storeroom, as well as several high-end living rooms and more.
The facilities are quite complete, with its own ‘water and electricity supply’, ‘semi-automatic system’. As long as Soul Crystals are embedded in the energy storage position, it can constantly provide energy to maintain the operation of the entire mansion.
Not only that, but there are also numerous shooting holes that can be opened and closed on the tall, silver-grey walls surrounding the City Lord’s Mansion.
Mu Yuan even found a set of armor and crossbows in the storeroom.
“This is more than just a residential building, it’s simply multifunctional, it has everything you could want. Among buildings of the rare rank, it’s definitely the top-tier,” he exclaimed.
And it’s completely move-in ready!
Mu Yuan immediately moved in, leaving the Mage Tower and such to the future chief mage of the Tianyuan Territory.
Duo Lai also picked out a suite for himself and promptly took over the kitchen facilities of the City Lord’s Mansion.
However,
The likes of Dead Bone, Hong Yi, and Rakshasa had no desire to live in high- end buildings.
Hong Yi’s review was, “The tombs are cool and comfortable to sleep in.”
How can you sleep all day at your age!
But it seems that Hong Yi has researched a method of dream cultivation – building dream illusions, so she is not totally slacking.
A short while after the completion of the City Lord’s Mansion, the earliest started but long-term project ‘Domain Interferer’, was also finally constructed.
This excellent-tier building looks like a tall antenna inserted straight into the ground, the base is dark grey and round, engraved with twisted symbols that look like tadpoles, guarding the black antenna in the center.
Besides that, there’s nothing particularly special, it seems ordinary at first glance and no one would think that this is an extremely rare excellent-tier building.
“The maintenance cost of the Domain Interferer is 200g of Soul Sand per day, a bit pricey, and that’s just the daily consumption. If any force tries to divine or observe the Tianyuan Territory or me, the consumption will increase tenfold or even a hundredfold, and I would also be notified and alerted,” Mu Yuan said.
Not only the Domain Interferer, but even ‘public toilets’ and ‘high-end houses’ also have energy consumption.
That’s the thing about rare-tier buildings.
Despite being useful, they have a high upkeep.
Tianyuan Territory indeed has some rudimentary pit latrines, and Mu Yuan hadn’t bothered replacing them until now as he had no better option before. But now that he has the blueprints, of course, he is going to carry out a major upgrade and renovation for the territory.
Building these miracle buildings cost a large amount of Soul Crystals, flowing out like water.
Besides that, there is also the necessity for the main troops to upgrade and cultivate, which is the place where the largest amount of Soul Sand is consumed.
“Currently, the Skeleton Generals have evolved to 130, while my plan is to form a king’s legion composed of 200 Skeleton Generals and 100 Resentful Spirits.” “Additionally, there are also 30 Treemen, 30 Flower Fairies, 30 Imperial Guards, 30 archers, 10 Halberd Guards, 30 hawks, as well as 30 slimes, and a few versatile soldiers who also enjoy being part of the main force.”
Adding up all these, he has about 500 main force slots.
Which is enough to rival the main force of a Great Lord’s king’s legion.
The daily consumption for cultivation is around…5 to 6 Soul Crystal Coins!
“Hiss ”
Now with the unstable income from exploration-style earning method, he might not even make 6 Soul Crystal Coins a day.
Thankfully, the Black Wasteland Secret Realm could be harvested once a day, yielding around 5000 to yooog of Soul Sand. Just enough to cover the daily consumption.
Among the crops grown in the Tianyuan Territory, such as Snake Scale Fruit, Jadecrystal Rice, and others, their growth rate has been very rapid under the influence of the farms and Flower Sprites. And in a while, they would be ready to harvest.
At that time,
“Selling these things in the real world is definitely not an option. The trans- dimensional fees are too high. The most suitable sales channel for these common goods is to sell them to passing merchant caravans or to transport them to the officials’ cities and sell them there. This is a bit of a headache.”
Mu Yuan hasn’t disclosed the coordinates of his territory and hasn’t opened it up for pioneering, so there are hardly any merchant caravans passing by.
And the nearest officials’ city…he is pretty certain he is in Pan Shi City’s region, but he doesn’t know how far away exactly he is from Pan Shi City or how to get there. It will take a lot of effort, time, and energy to open a road.
Headache.
Dead Bone can’t help much in this regard, and Mu Yuan doesn’t want to rob General Dead Bone of his cultivation time. As for Duo Lai and other officers? Better not to mention them.
Today he’ll do other things and let the future him figure it out slowly.
After he had built the City Lord’s Mansion, public toilets, and other buildings, naturally new descriptions like ‘luxurious mansion,’ ‘bathhouse,1 etc., appeared for Lord Shepherd.
Although they’re all just green descriptions, who knows? The top-tier hero he wants might be very demanding, and these things might play a crucial role at a critical time.
In the Baijiang Tenglong Group, some guy named Mr. Tan was showing off his descriptions.
Then he lamented, “Thinking about it, I’m really lucky. This Jiangnan Garden Architecture was bought with a large sum of money before. Even with money now, it can’t be bought…sigh, those top second generation must have got inside information early, right? If I had inside information, I could have saved a few more descriptions.”
Unexpectedly, the Liver Emperor actually has quite a few descriptions too.
Seeing that someone @ mentioned him (Mu Yuan), after thinking about it, he also didn’t want to be too different, so Mu Yuan took screenshots of ‘village chief’, ‘luxurious mansion’, ‘bathhouse’, ‘clean land1, ‘rich’, and other unimportant descriptions and posted them.
Mr. Tan was dumbfounded.
Why do the Liver Emperor and Mu Yuan have no fewer descriptions than him, and these descriptions are obviously those of big spenders.
He is the one who’s supposed to be the big spender!
The Liver Emperor also paused, “Ah Yuan, have you also hooked up with a rich lady?”
“Even the Liver Emperor has become so strong, we certainly can’t underestimate our competitors in this ceremony!”
Especially those upcoming lords who have been growing for over two years.
However, as a greenhand and a non-privileged player, Mr. Mu could only get information about these lords if they revealed themselves.
Besides providing a large amount of resources, the rich Lady Liu also thoughtfully included a dossier.
Apparently, it was compiled by a high-ranked lord with extensive intelligence networks and was only circulated amongst a small group of people.
It recorded some…
“Very powerful new lord players we should try our best to avoid competing directly with.”
“Hisss, they’re really that strong?”
Mu Yuan sat up straighter and slowly opened the dossier.
ILord Shenmao, a lord that has been in Eternal World for two years and seven or eight months, ranked first in the Newbie Trials and has since accumulated luck, now commanding over two hundred ‘Booted Cat Swordsman’ corps, with XX, XXX and other notable achievements!
Indeed it’s strong.
The Booted Cat Swordsman is a rare two-star unit that can both show cuteness and fight. It is indeed not as high-ranked as his own Skeleton General, but the Boot Cat Corps of this lord probably has already matured, which can overthrow countless monster tribes.
[Lord of Ba Long was also the top of the 116th Newbie Trial. He has a very strong general called ‘Chiyan Dragon Descendant’, who helped the Lord of Ba Long win numerous Battle Will competitions. According to rumors, this general probably has already passed the Hero Trial] .
“A new lord already has heroes? Hisss, this is indeed too powerful.”
The high-ranked lord who summarized this eidition of the intelligence dossier rated ‘Ba Long’ even higher than ‘Shen Mao’, which means this information is only provided to a few insiders, otherwise, it would definitely cause arguments in the forum.
However,
‘Ba Long’ and ‘Shen Mao’ are only the strongest in public’s opinion, but they can only rank in the top ten in the dossier.
ILord of Kong Ming City, their territory is not open to outsiders, so few players are aware of it. This Lord of Kong Ming City has already upgraded his territory to the city level with absolute quietness. The difference between the city-level terrain and the town-level terrain is like heaven and earth! .
Because, as long as you are a lord, as long as your territory is not broken by the monster tide, you can certainly run your territory to a small town level over time, but to expand to a city level, it is very difficult.
Not only the requirements are strict, but you also need to go through challenges similar to ‘Hero Trial’ and ‘Lord Trial’ to get promoted.
Commercial title as [City Lord], the Lord Kong Ming City can surpass countless people.
Another one, who is ranked tie with ‘Lord Kong Ming City’ by the compiler, is the lord ‘Wuji’.
[Wuji Lord possesses no particularly strong generals, the construction of his territory is also just fine. However, this Wuji Lord is a martial arts fanatic with extremely high martial arts talents. He has obtained the knowledge of Wuji faction, and his spear skills are superb. He entered the Artistic Conception Level a long time ago and is now even more unfathomable. I evaluate, first armor up, limited to personal martial arts, Wuji Lord has 50% of the demeanor of the ‘Lord of Han Yue City’! .
This evaluation can’t be high.
Because the Rich Lady Han Yue is not only the strongest amongst the young generation of the Tai Xuan Alliance, but there is no other lord of her age in the Shen Yao, Yongxing, Shen Mu and other countries who can compare with her.
Her demeanor is not weaker than those several country pillars that came through the wind and rain at the beginning of the establishment of the Tai Xuan Alliance.
Other foreign lords were also mentioned in the dossier.
Such as ‘Glory Knight’ and ‘Queen’ of Shen Yao Empire and so on. Because the other countries have not been able to build up their forces, their competitiveness is a bit weak.
The comprehensive and detailed lord information collected in the treasured research materials also includes several new lords.
[Lord Tianyuan, with a mysterious identity and an unknown background, possesses a potentially high-ranking mage, and probably has two types of military buildings, and has already entered into Artistic Conception Level. He is undeniably the current best new king. My evaluation is promising for the future. Even now, Lord Tianyuan has very strong competitiveness and is capable of being in the top thirty in this festival J .
The information is quite detailed.
Almost…
This is 10% of his real information, Mr. Mu, which is quite terrifying!
“Tianyuan is indeed very strong, even with my all-out effort, I still fall short.”
In the real world, within a private garden, Wang Erteng put down the dossier in his hand, clenched his fists, a touch of unwillingness in his eyes.
Sitting next to him was a burly man with muscles like hammered gold and stone. He sat there like a towering mountain.
His name was Wang Longteng, the eldest son of Lord Beiting.
A legendary man.
Compared to his oppressive physical presence, Wang Longteng’s smile was warm, especially in front of his family.
He said, “It’s a good thing to have excellent people to pursue and learn from, but in this festival, you should pay more attention to big enemies like Kong Ming and Wuji. They have been in the world for much longer than you have. If you ought to avoid them, then do so, it’s not a disgrace.”
As he spoke, he changed his tone.
“Of course, the festival isn’t directly a comparison of strength. Even when facing these strong enemies, your chances of winning aren’t entirely zero. How much chance you have and whether you ought to strive for it depends on how you grasp it yourself.”
“Lords like Wuji and Kong Ming, although strong, ultimately do not possess the ability to compete at a higher level. Under a very small probability…”
His younger brother, fighting for a match with a top hero, isn’t entirely impossible.
Unlike himself back then, with Liu Xiyue… When facing the Lord of Han Yue City, he experienced the trembling of being completely crushed and dominated.
At that time, as long as Lord Han Yue extended an olive branch to a hero, no one could compete.
He didn’t even have the ability to make the hero hesitate or dawdle.
At least his younger brother still has a peer to chase, but he…can’t see the back of Lady Han Yue anymore.
