Chapter 13

The backpack had ten slots, with Source Crystals and Soul Crystals occupying one each. Of the remaining eight slots, each slot could hold one hundred units of the same type of resource.

Watching Yun Shen continuously put resources into his backpack, Teacher Jiang Lan suddenly raised a question.

"Lord Territory Owner, you say... if we catch a territory owner, can we use him as a mobile backpack?" ===== CHAPTER 24 =====

"Hmm?"

Yun Shen was stunned. This young lady's idea was excellent; he had actually thought of this method himself.

Such immoral behavior would not be taught in school, nor would it ever be advocated.

If new territory owners used this method and handled the person cleanly without exposure, it would be fine, but if it were exposed and spread to the main world, it might bring unnecessary trouble.

Yun Shen interrupted: "Let's consider this matter later if there's an opportunity. Our primary task now is to develop ourselves and pass the novice trial."

"Hmm."

Teacher Jiang Lan thought Yun Shen had rejected her proposal, but she didn't expect to hear the other party's supplement the next moment.

"Of course, if you encounter any lone territory owner in the wild, then invite him to our territory as a guest to talk about life and discuss ideals."

Yun Shen's serious expression made Teacher Jiang Lan unable to help but laugh.

If a territory owner wants to return to the main world, they must be within their own territory.

Therefore, if they encounter them in the wild, even if the territory owner encounters danger, they cannot return to the main world.

This also means that as long as you don't let the other party run away, whatever you do won't be spread to the main world!

"Let's go, let's go back first."

As Yun Shen said this, just as he was about to sit on one of the ore carts, he was grabbed by Teacher Jiang Lan like a small chicken and hoisted onto her shoulder again.

Yun Shen: "?"

No way, again? A second time?

Before Yun Shen could refuse, Teacher Jiang Lan moved her feet, dragging the row of ore carts behind her and sprinting away, leaving only the Twelve Beauties of Jinling behind to mine bitterly.

Perhaps considering that Yun Shen had just eaten, Teacher Jiang Lan's movements weren't as rough as before, and her speed had slowed down quite a bit.

Yun Shen was bored, so he had to open the chat channel to kill time, hoping to see some valuable news.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw Xu Xu Xiaojiang's message.

Xu Xu Xiaojiang: "Hahaha, I found a treasure chest! [Photo]"

In the photo was a lake, and in the center of this lake was a small protruding island, which looked very small.

But on such an island covering less than one hundred square meters, there was actually an excellent purple treasure chest!

"Damn! If I can get this excellent treasure chest, wouldn't I take off on the spot?"

"This is likely a guarded treasure chest; there must be wild monsters lurking in the lake!"

"Big shot, go try it quickly and see what good things you can open."

Zhu Ying: "If you feel you can't get this treasure chest, you can sell the location of the treasure chest to me."

Xu Xu Xiaojiang: "Beauty, don't even think about it. I've got this treasure chest for sure!"

Seeing these messages, Yun Shen shook his head speechlessly.

He hadn't even gotten the treasure chest yet, and he was already impatient to show off...

"However, since he can post a photo, it proves that Xu Xu Xiaojiang actually went out to grind monsters himself. His territory characteristics might be specifically for strengthening the territory owner's attributes, focusing on the War God territory owner route."

There are many directions for territory development, basically chosen according to their respective territory attributes.

For example, Yun Shen's territory characteristic is to amplify the attributes of female heroes and troops, which is suitable for focusing on the War territory owner route.

"After all, this is an excellent treasure chest; perhaps I can strive for it."

Yun Shen recalled the photo of the mushroom cloud that Xu Xu Xiaojiang had posted earlier.

This meant that Xu Xu Xiaojiang's territory was relatively close to his own; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to photograph the mushroom cloud.

The angle of that photo at the time was taken toward the sky, and it just happened to include the position of the sun.

Through the angle of the sun and the position of his own territory relative to the nuclear explosion...

"East by North!"

Yun Shen successfully reached a conclusion.

Although he didn't know the specific location of Xu Xu Xiaojiang's territory, it would be easy to find with this direction.

It wasn't that Yun Shen wanted to find Xu Xu Xiaojiang for an offline PK now, but to find that excellent treasure chest!

It was still the first day of the novice trial; Xu Xu Xiaojiang couldn't have explored too far, so this treasure chest definitely wouldn't be too far from his territory.

With such a large lake, it would be relatively easy to find after having a rough direction.

"By the way, since this guy Xu Xu Xiaojiang is on the War God territory owner route and goes out frequently..."

Yun Shen silently thought of Teacher Jiang Lan's suggestion just now...

Yun Shen's territory.

Yun Shen and Teacher Jiang Lan returned successfully, bringing back a large pile of ore and stones.

In this pile of ore, there was not only iron ore but also copper ore.

When mining earlier, Teacher Jiang Lan had discovered that the information for that iron mine didn't have an associated mineral originally, but later it suddenly did.

Teacher Jiang Lan firmly believed that this must be some kind of method of the Lord Territory Owner.

Yun Shen said: "Teacher Jiang Lan, go in this direction later and see if there is a lake. Another territory owner just discovered an excellent treasure chest in the middle of the lake."

Teacher Jiang Lan nodded and said: "Alright, I'll go right away."

"If you find a territory owner named Xu Xu Xiaojiang, bring him to our territory. This kid said earlier he wanted to come over as a guest."

Yun Shen instructed: "Also, don't go too far. This direction is my guess, and the error might be very large."

"As a guest... Understood!"

Teacher Jiang Lan instantly understood the meaning of her Lord Territory Owner, after all, the two had just chatted about similar content.

"Lord Territory Owner, rest assured, my smart brain chip can record all the terrain detected by spiritual sense... that is, spiritual power, and draw it into a 3D map. As long as I check the surrounding environment one by one, I will definitely be able to find it."

"It has this function too?"

Yun Shen's eyes lit up and he praised: "You are really useful."

It's really good; it would be even better if it could be used at night.

Teacher Jiang Lan always felt that Yun Shen was making a dirty joke, but she had no evidence.

"Then I'll set off now, and go transport the ore later."

Teacher Jiang Lan didn't delay and set off immediately.

"It's time to upgrade the territory."

Yun Shen walked into the thatched hut and looked at the gray crystal ball that had been floating there.

"Upgrade territory!"

[Do you want to consume Wood (Ordinary) ×100, Stone (Ordinary) ×100, Soul Crystal ×1000 to upgrade the territory? Current territory level: 1.]

"Yes!"

In Yun Shen's backpack, the resources decreased instantly.

[Upgrade successful, current territory level: 2.]

[Your attributes have been improved.]

The territory owner level is linked to the territory level; as long as the territory level increases, it is equivalent to the territory owner leveling up.

Yun Shen only felt a sense of comfort coming over him, and he could clearly feel the growth of his own strength!

At the same time, a golden message popped up in the village channel, hanging high at the top like a banner, so that anyone who opened the village channel could see it at a glance.

[Village Announcement: Territory Owner Yun Shen is the first to upgrade the territory to level 2, rewarding one rare treasure chest, prestige +100.]

Once this announcement was issued, it instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire village channel! ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
