Chapter 144

If Elisha had the talent to manage a territory, he wouldn't mind delegating the power to her.

That way, it would save him a great deal of time.

And her title was precisely 【Territory Steward】—her management ability shouldn't be lacking.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng handed over all the territory's construction rights to her.

"Ding~ Your hero 【Elisha】 can now freely use the 【Build】 function. This action is highly sensitive—please be on your guard!"

"..."

The more power, the greater the risk; the system had thoughtfully given a reminder.

However.

Qin Feng's character was to trust those he employed, and never employ those he doubted.

Once decided, he wouldn't think on it further.

Qin Feng casually pulled the 【Wall of Blazing Flames】 and 【Huoyanzhi Sect Design Blueprint】 from his backpack and stuffed them to her.

"Don't be stingy with these defensive buildings and defensive facilities—there are plenty of resources. Encircle the territory with them."

"..."

Elisha's little mouth also fell wide open.

Ah—!!

An Epic-grade defensive facility would have been enough, but it was actually a Divine Mystic-grade city wall?!

And...

There were actually tens of thousands of city walls?!

Even she was somewhat shocked.

Tens of thousands of Divine Mystic-grade city walls... could already enclose a very large stretch of land.

She also took a deep breath and smiled: "Lord, Elisha's choice was indeed the right one."

Choice?

Qin Feng also slightly furrowed his brows, unable to quite understand what she was talking about.

He also shook his head, not thinking on it further—as long as she harbored no disloyalty, that was enough.

At this moment, he also directly began extracting proficiency.

"Ding~ You have extracted proficiency *15,000,000. Hero 【Territory Steward · Elisha】 has leveled up, currently Level 20!"

"Ding~ Your hero 【Territory Steward · Elisha】 has reached the level cap. Please complete the breakthrough quest!"

"..."

Streaks of brilliant Jin Guang descended; before Elisha could even register what was happening, she had instantly reached Level 20.

Heroes needed to complete a breakthrough quest every 20 levels.

Qin Feng also checked it.

【Breakthrough Quest One · Elisha】

Breakthrough Requirements: Star Spirit Tears (0/10), Hero's Proof (100/100)

For a Tier 1 hero's breakthrough quest, it was usually still fairly easy to complete.

But Elisha was an SSS-grade hero—there weren't many in the entire universe.

The required materials were also maxed out directly.

The Hero's Proof, the system had given when Qin Feng previously summoned heroes, but 【Star Spirit Tears】... just hearing the name, it didn't sound like ordinary material.

Qin Feng could only temporarily set her level aside for now.

And Elisha, fully content, went off to plan the territory's construction.

For a territory to develop in the long run, the placement of various buildings was quite particular—beyond aesthetics, practicality mattered even more.

With Elisha, Qin Feng was spared a great deal of effort.

Next was the lord quest that had long been completed—needless to say, just the later wave of 【Blazing Combustion】 alone had killed countless BOSSes.

Qin Feng also checked the quest panel.

【Lord Quest · Tier 2】

Quest Description: Your territory has reached a bottleneck. To advance further, you need to obtain the recognition of the Will of the Heavens.

Quest Objective: Kill Black Iron-grade or above BOSSes (1285/10)

The Blazing Combustion released earlier through the 【Fire-Gleam Stone Ring】 had swept across the entire event map.

Countless BOSSes, big and small, had dropped dead on the spot.

But Qin Feng hadn't expected that over a thousand BOSSes had actually been killed directly?!

He didn't hesitate either, and directly began submitting the quest.

"Ding~ You are about to submit 【Lord Quest · Tier 2】. Confirm?"

"Confirm!"

"..."

Whoosh!!

Accompanied by a streak of brilliant light descending, the system's voice also rang out abruptly.

"Ding~ Congratulations on becoming a Tier 2 lord. You have unlocked the following buildings: 【Basic Training Ground】, 【Basic Research Institute】, 【Basic Human Combat Center】, 【Basic Lumber Camp】, 【Basic Quarry】, 【Basic Hunting Ground】, 【Basic Mine】!"

"Ding~ Your fusion degree with the game 【War】 has increased. You can now bring items, props, and equipment into Blue Star!"

"Ding~ World Announcement: Dragon Nation player 【Tyrant】 has completed the Tier 2 Lord Quest and officially become a Tier 2 lord. Territory level cap opened to Level 20! As the first Tier 2 lord among this batch of students, a special reward: Reputation +1000, Luck +10, 【Gold Coin Trial Challenge Ticket】 *10!"

"Ding dong~ Because you have超额 completed 【Lord Quest · Tier 2】, a special reward is hereby granted: 【Blazing Arrow Formation (SSS-grade Legion Battle Art)】!"

"……"

……

The world announcement fell… people were startled once again.

"Huh, hasn't the newbie map already been destroyed? How is someone still active there?"

"How did the Tyrant survive?"

"Impossible, I saw it — a level-100 Scorched Earth buff, who could possibly survive that?"

"Ah, it's actually a 【Gold Coin Trial Challenge Ticket】!! So sour!!"

"……"

……

At this moment, Qin Feng (bfbh) hadn't expected that this wave of rewards would actually be so generous.

The Luck stat… is still quite rare.

10 points — although not especially high, it's enough to carry a hardcore unlucky player up to a normal person.

As for the 【Gold Coin Trial Challenge Ticket】…

it is an extremely rare challenge ticket.

After use, one can be teleported to a place similar to a gold coin room; the monsters inside, putting everything else aside, simply drop way too many gold coins.

This challenge ticket is still something only the Will of the Heavens can issue.

What's more, Qin Feng has the 【Advanced Harvest Halo】, so the ticket's effect will only multiply countless times over.

At the same time, as Qin Feng became a Tier 2 Lord, he naturally unlocked quite a few new buildings.

The 【Basic Training Ground】 is naturally a place to train troops — whether players or heroes, everyone needs rest.

And this building can, during rest, toss soldiers in, and then automatically grant experience points.

One could call it a powerful idle-farming artifact.

Of course, the effects of basic buildings are extremely limited, and Qin Feng's proficiency is nearly off the charts — he doesn't lack experience points at all.

The 【Basic Research Institute】 is a place to raise the skill levels of troop types.

As long as a hero is placed inside, it will raise the troop type's skill levels according to the hero's research ability.

The 【Basic Human Race Combat Center】, on the other hand, is a tech building — here, one can spend resources to research technology, thereby gaining bonuses to human-race units.

But the bonuses that basic buildings can research are pitifully few.

Qin Feng recalled that the highest was only +20% attack and defense — you could call it a mosquito leg.

As for the remaining Mining Ground, Logging Camp, Hunting Ground… they are naturally the corresponding farming buildings.

However, Qin Feng is naturally too lazy to build them, and the reason is also very simple… his resources have long since burst the warehouse!
