Chapter 3

"The hero recruited with the bestowed Hero Token should have an empty entry slot, right?"

As Yun Shen thought this, he had already walked out of the thatched cottage. Looking around, he understood his location; the environment was a forest, and the terrain was relatively flat.

For a capable lord, forest terrain is a good starting point, as it saves the territory from worrying about wood in the early stages.

But for those without strength, it is full of crises, as there are too many hiding spots for "wild monsters" in the forest...

Fortunately, with the novice protection period, Yun Shen didn't need to worry about his safety for the time being.

Yun Shen held the Hero Token and muttered, "Recruit!"

The golden Hero Token turned into a golden stream of light, transforming into a golden light door on the open ground not far in front of Yun Shen.

A tall woman walked out from it. She had short hair, messy yet soft, and was wearing a silver-gray bodysuit that perfectly outlined her body curves.

On her chest were four large ancient seal characters: "Profound Heaven Technology."

The woman muttered to herself, "Battlefield of Myriad Races... what a magnificent and vast world; there must be many directions for research!"

Immediately, the woman looked at the only person present and nodded in greeting: "Hello, Lord. My name is Teacher Jiang Lan."

[Your hero Teacher Jiang Lan thanks you for bringing her to the Battlefield of Myriad Races, favorability +10, current favorability 80.]

Yun Shen hurriedly checked Teacher Jiang Lan's personal information.

[Hero]: Teacher Jiang Lan

[Race]: Human

[Quality]: Golden Legendary

[Level]: 1 (0/1000)

[Attributes]: Physique 125, Spiritual Power 295, Spirit 430 (excluding attribute bonuses from cultivation methods and equipment)

[Favorability]: 80

[Entry]: None (0/1)

"A scientific research hero with this panel... isn't this too heaven-defying?"

Yun Shen couldn't help but gasp. A whole row of golden legendary quality, and she even came with two exclusive building blueprints; she absolutely belonged to the category of being overpowered!

Although he had long known that female residents had a five-fold attribute bonus, he was still startled when he witnessed this scene.

According to the total attribute upper and lower limit algorithm taught in textbooks, in terms of attributes alone, Teacher Jiang Lan had already reached the level of a mythical hero!

Red Mythical is above Golden Legendary. In terms of pure attribute algorithms, the lower limit of the former's aptitude value is five times that of the latter!

And the gain brought by the [Kingdom of Daughters] entry, after being neutralized and reduced by [Rule of the Wicked Woman], is also five times!

However, at the current stage, mythical quality will not appear on this layer of the Battlefield of Myriad Races, which means that even if Teacher Jiang Lan is a scientific research hero, her combat power is already invincible at the same level!

Soon, Yun Shen noticed the entry column; sure enough, he could bestow a new entry!

"Refresh!"

[Research Focus] (Purple): Focus level during research +100%.

[Arms Dealer] (Purple): Damage +100% when using technology-side weapons.

[Monster Hunting Probability] (Orange): Adds passive skill "Monster Hunting Probability". When killing a target, loot drop rate × 500%, and the quantity of some guaranteed loot × 500%.

"What a pity, no gold... By the way, can this entry be stripped and refreshed?"

Just as this thought occurred to Yun Shen, a message popped up.

[Upgrading the territory level can weaken the seal of the "Code of All Things," unlock new abilities, and enhance existing ones.]

Yun Shen's eyes lit up. Does this imply that entries can be replaced in the future?

"Hello, my name is Yun Shen. Nice to meet you. Let me give you a welcome gift, though I don't know if it will show up on your own panel."

Yun Shen silently selected [Monster Hunting Probability]. This is a five-fold drop rate! Who could refuse this when hunting monsters in the early stages?

Teacher Jiang Lan had a cold temperament, revealing an intellectual beauty. A hint of strangeness flashed in her eyes. This Lord had been standing there for a long time, and now he actually said he wanted to give her a welcome gift?

[Your hero Teacher Jiang Lan has acquired the skill: Monster Hunting Probability (Epic).]

Not only did Yun Shen receive the hint, but Teacher Jiang Lan also received it. She hurriedly checked it and discovered the magical nature of this passive skill.

"Thank you, Lord."

Teacher Jiang Lan didn't have any thoughts about the drop rate, but she was quite interested in the abilities of this Lord, Yun Shen.

After being recruited to the Battlefield of Myriad Races, her mind was filled with a lot of information about this world, so she knew how exaggerated a passive skill with a five-fold drop rate was.

This Lord seems quite extraordinary.

[Your hero Teacher Jiang Lan is interested in your mystery, favorability +5, current favorability 85.]

Yun Shen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this hero was of the good-natured type, which saved him a lot of effort.

It must be known that although heroes and troop types will not actively attack the lord, if the favorability is below 30, there is a risk of defection!

Cases in textbooks told him that a lord doesn't have to be servile, but they must never touch the bottom line of heroes and troops, or force them to do things they don't want to do.

For example, a certain lord from the Divine Cow Kingdom was overcome by lust and wanted to hold a large-scale party in the territory, which led to a plummeting favorability of male residents and a group defection of female residents...

As for why the favorability of male residents plummeted, it was certainly not because they weren't invited, but because the female residents were all lizardmen...

There was also a lord from a certain country that had a "good life" but was poverty-stricken; they didn't have sufficient food and water supplies and forced residents to eat the flesh and blood of their own kind and drink nuclear wastewater, leading to half of the residents defecting on the spot, and the remaining half were also severely contaminated.

Of course, if the favorability reaches the maximum value, then no matter what the lord does in the future, it will not decrease!

Idiom solitaire, do whatever one wants!

"Hmm?"

Teacher Jiang Lan frowned slightly. This Lord always gave her the feeling that he wanted to do something bad, but she had no evidence.

[Your hero Teacher Jiang Lan has doubts about you, suspecting whether this is a good place to stay, favorability -1, current favorability 84.]

Yun Shen was so scared that he hurriedly cleared the "yellow waste" from his mind. The top priority now was to develop the territory quickly.

"Ahem, well, can you chop wood?"

Yun Shen coughed twice and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Chop wood? Yes, Lord. Do you have a need for it?"

"Yes, the novice protection period is only twenty-four hours. Before that, I'd better build the wooden fence, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep soundly at night."

Yun Shen nodded and took out the wooden fence blueprint.

For the children of the wealthy, they can directly use semi-finished fence models, which can be used immediately after being brought in, only requiring the consumption of Source Crystals.

But for himself, who only had a blueprint, he not only needed to consume Source Crystals but also needed to gather the required materials.

Source Crystals are the currency of the Battlefield of Myriad Races. The limit for new lords to bring in is ten thousand, and Yun Shen only had one hundred...

"Okay, Lord, do you have any requirements for the thickness and length of the wood?"

"That's not necessary. After all, the blueprint only calculates the required wood units. Just don't make it too outrageous."

"Understood. I'll go chop wood now. Let's clear out the trees in the territory first."

Teacher Jiang Lan was a person who valued efficiency, so she turned around and started working immediately.

"Wait for me, let's..."

Yun Shen wanted to work with Teacher Jiang Lan. This kind of hands-on behavior might increase favorability.

However, just as he took the axe out of his schoolbag and was about to refresh the entry for it, he saw Teacher Jiang Lan wave her slender hand, and silver-gray metal liquid surged from her skin, transforming into a forty-meter-long machete.

Swish!

Yun Shen only felt a flash of cold light before his eyes, and he saw the trees around Teacher Jiang Lan gradually tilting and falling!

The heavy sensation of a large number of trees falling and hitting the ground made Yun Shen feel the earth tremble.

Teacher Jiang Lan turned to look at Yun Shen and asked, "Lord, what did you just say?"

"Nothing, you did very well."

Yun Shen looked down at the axe in his hand and silently put it back into his schoolbag.

As a lord, it's better to leave such trivial matters to subordinates...
