Chapter 412

Gu Qing laughed and said, "She's been awake the whole time. Come whenever you like—she'll open the door and welcome you anytime."

Zhao Chi snorted coldly, "In that case, get over here!"

"Hehe, really? Aren't you going to go work?"

"Being with you is also very important work—I must max out your energy points!"

"How scary, hehe."

Zhao Chi definitely couldn't max it out.

He only added 4 points—that was his full effort.

But this result was already considered decent.

At least Gu Qing was very satisfied.

But Zhao Chi was not satisfied.

He wasn't dissatisfied with Gu Qing—Gu Qing was beyond reproach.

He was dissatisfied with the silver treasure chest.

Originally full of hope, carrying eager anticipation, he opened it piously.

But after a burst of light faded, what appeared was an item he couldn't use for now.

【You have obtained "Territory Relocation Token" ×1】

(Territory Relocation Token: After use, you can relocate your territory from its current coordinates to new coordinates. Usable only once per month.)

How should I put it.

It is indeed a somewhat useful item, but unusable right now.

This world doesn't only have the city of Snowfield.

There are many other cities.

And the residents of each city aren't necessarily human.

They might be elves, dwarves, beastfolk, vampires, or other intelligent races.

In theory, everyone is in the same boat.

All are being invaded by the vast hordes of magical beasts outside.

So everyone must divert some to the lords to deal with.

Diverting magical beasts is war after all, so every day lords die and territories are destroyed.

As lords die, the remaining number of lords keeps decreasing, and the number of magical beasts diverted to each person keeps increasing.

If the number of lords doesn't increase, the pressure on the remaining lords will keep growing, and the speed at which territories are destroyed will keep accelerating.

Eventually, no territory will be left to divert them.

The magical beasts will break through the formation and attack the cities directly.

Eventually leading to the cities' destruction.

Therefore, the number of lords must be guaranteed.

Only with a World Stone can one open a territory and become a lord.

So fundamentally, it all comes down to the World Stone.

World Stones are all seized.

By opening a territory passage, one connects to another world.

It might connect to a very safe territory, even one without enemies, allowing one to easily obtain a World Stone.

But it might also connect to a world with powerful magical beasts—if you can't win, you die.

Of course, one can also use certain methods to escape quickly and then change coordinates.

And changing coordinates is what this "Territory Relocation Token" is for.

Besides that.

When territories connect, whether actively or passively, they also connect to other lords' territories.

If the lords are in the same city, everyone introduces themselves, and war can usually be avoided.

But if the connected lord is from another city, or even of a different race.

Then war usually breaks out.

After all, lords have abundant resources.

The victor can seize all of the opponent's resources and population.

And obtain the opponent's World Stone.

If one finds they can't win, they can similarly use certain methods to sever the connection.

And use this "Territory Relocation Token" to change coordinates, making it impossible for the opponent to track them.
