“Mr. Tan received a rare three-star troop, this is just one of the gifts!”
“Ranked 75th is Long Tao, who received a special Building Warrior College. It is said that after cultivating diligently within it for some time, one has the chance to change their profession to be a warrior… The most important feature is that it can be used by the citizens of the Lord’s territory. Rounded up, it equates to a soldier-type building.”
“Extra, extra! Ranked 49th, Lu Renyi acquired the ‘Wild Wolf Den’ soldiers-type building!”
“Can you acquire a soldier-type building if you rank in the top 50? In previous years, only the top ten had a chance, the gifts this time have indeed significantly increased.”
“Envious? We paid with our lives to get them.”
“What can the top ten receive as gifts?”
“That depends on whether the top ten tycoons are willing to unveil them.”
As the names of the territories on the leaderboard were retracted one by one, Mu Yuan also started to look forward to his turn.
The leaderboard’s rewards are the most heavyweight.
The Second Generation Lord must also fight and vie; they most naturally want to possess soldiers-type building.
Even the most basic soldier-type buildings like the ‘Wild Wolf Den’ have strong practical utilities and are not limited to recruiting just ordinary first-grade wild gray wolves.
A soldiers-type building has always been the core of a territory.
The precondition is that you should possess one.
“What type of soldiers building can I get? I hope I can get one that suits my taste.”
“It is said that the heaven and earth gifts often provide to the player what they need if this is true then there shouldn’t be any rumored junks.”
Finally, the reward for the top-ranked players descended.
Unlike previous heaven and earth gifts, no light ball emerged.
“Ding!”
“Prompt: You have obtained the special building ‘Breakthrough Dojo (Rare)’, please choose a location to place it.”
“Oh, no need to invest in materials for construction? This is really good.”
Mu Yuan already had a vague sense of the ‘Breakthrough Dojo’s’ scale and effect. He thought for a while and chose the location in the southern part of the territory, even further south than the previous mud wall.
In the now expanded territory, this area is still considered the hinterlands.
“Confirm”!
The ground in the distance started to tremble slightly, startling many Skeleton Warriors into retreating. However, some curious babies like Duo Lai came forward. They seemed to be stopped by a wall invisible to the eye, and bumped into it with a plop.
Here, the rugged barren land appeared to be smoothed by an invisible divine hand. The excess gravel, mud, and weeds all fell off to the side. Then, light and shadow fell, intertwined. Barely discernable were the silhouettes of ancient buildings.
A gust of wind swept across, blowing the tender leaves down as if it seemed to also blow away the interlacing light and shadows.
Green walls and stone doors, flying eaves and gables.
The building, seemingly filled with mysterious artistic conception, appeared in the blink of an eye within Tianyuan Territory. It somehow didn’t seem out of place, as if it had always been there.
‘Breakthrough Dojo (Rare)’
‘Category: Cultivation building’
‘Level: One’
‘Ability: Assist individuals who have cultivated their current level to perfection with continue gathering Soul Sand even in a sated stated, and perform energy compression three times to break through the bigger rank barrier. This method of breakthrough requires a certain amount of time and the success rate is somewhat lower than using breakthrough materials, but the breakthrough effects are identical.’
‘Note: The level one Breakthrough Dojo can only assist the breakthrough of the Apprentice Level.’
This type of special building is one of the ways for troops to break through to the higher level… besides using breakthrough materials.
Indeed, it’s what he really needs.
After all, breakthrough materials are expensive. They are fine for supplying a few dozens of soldiers, but to supply an entire army… even a seasoned Lord probably can’t afford it.
Some veteran players would rent such a breakthrough building for their own troops to breakthrough.
However, it’s often hard to rent one.
Lords themselves feel it’s insufficient—buildings like the Breakthrough Dojo have a limited number of slots for nurturing and providing benefits.
“My Breakthrough Dojo can currently accommodate about 30 types of soldiers concurrently.”
“However, the process of breakthrough is time-consuming. It could take a few months or as little as half a month… Thirty slots are just a drop in the bucket. Additionally, the breakthrough is not entirely free. There are additional expenses for further cultivation, operational costs of the building, time cost, and so forth.”
But Mu Yuan was still quite pleased.
The Breakthrough Dojo can be further upgraded, but this would need to wait until the Land Rank increases, and the upgrade level of the interior buildings could follow.
After the establishment of the Breakthrough Dojo, the second pleasing gift prompt sounded in his ear.
‘Prompt: You have acquired the special building ‘Fountain of Life (Rare)’. Please choose a location for placement.’
After a while,
Boom-
Not far from the Mage Tower, a clear pond surrounded by undulating boulders rose up. The spring in the center bubbled incessantly, with spring water gushing out.
A burst of intoxicating fragrance, just by smelling it, one could not help but feel rejuvenated, drifted from above.
“It’s a building that can continually produce special byproducts!”
The Great Lord Shepherd had previously pondered on how to make money after establishing his domain. Now, he had a way.
Vitality spring water is an extremely versatile material treasure.
It can be directly drunk, used as a main or secondary ingredient in potions, and even for irrigation.
This was worth considering.
Following the Vitality spring water, was another special production building ‘Gold Fertile Soil (Rare)’.
A fertile soil, that seemed to shimmer golden under the sunlight, was spread at the periphery of the territory. Covering about ten acres of land, it had effects such as ‘Adaptive Fertility’ and ‘Rapid Growth’.
He needed to consider what to grow on it.
After the three special buildings, the long-awaited troop building finally arrived.
‘Prompt: You have acquired the First Rank Troop Building ‘Skeletal Cemetery’.’
‘Skeletal Cemetery’
‘Effect One: After a specific time interval, a certain number of Little Skeletons can be recruited, and Skeleton Soldiers can be recruited with a slight chance, with a tiny chance to recruit Skeleton Warriors.’
‘Effect Two: The Skeletal Cemetery will continuously modify the surrounding environment to form a habitat suitable for the lives of Skeleton Babies, and the Skeleton Troops within the cemetery’s influence range will gradually level up.’
‘Effect Three: The cultivation speed of the Undead Species within the cemetery’s influence range is increased.’
‘Remark: When certain conditions are met, the ‘Skeletal Cemetery’ can be upgraded to a second-rank troop building ‘Skeleton Cemetery’.’
In the past, Mu Yuan had heard quite a bit of information related to troop buildings.
But all those rumors were mixed and unclear.
At the first sight of it, the reason why countless lords are pursuing it became obvious.
To the seasoned lords, this was a pillar; for the Great Lords and Top-Level Lords, the First Rank troop buildings were still an indispensable foundation.
Just Effect Two alone could save a huge amount of Soul Sand over the years.
Mu Yuan pondered where to construct the Skeletal Cemetery.
The influence of troop buildings on their surroundings seems quite substantial.
They certainly couldn’t be built in the heartland of the territory.
Previously, he had a bit of a plan to segregate the core area, civilian area, and barracks region separately.
Given that,
He cast his gaze on the most western part of his territory and made his final choice.
Humm—
