Chapter 15

And these cards were all directly distributed by the Will of the Heavens, and they were restricted from being traded or discarded.

They didn't exist in the market at all; no matter how much money you had, you couldn't buy them.

……

Closing his backpack.

Qin Feng opened the map, and soon, his gaze focused on a region in the south of the continent.

"If I remember correctly... there is an extremely terrifying BOSS there; let alone current players, even later when the entire novice continent merges into the main world, it would definitely be a powerful BOSS..."

The novice map where the high school seniors were located was, in fact, independent of the main world of [War].

Only high school seniors were here.

Others, without special items and props, could absolutely not enter the novice map.

And after the college entrance exam, the continent would be completely merged into the main world to compete with other lords.

By then, that would be when everything truly began.

The current novice map could be said to be playing house.

However.

This did not mean that the novice continent only had some low-level monsters.

[War] was not truly just a game, and the Will of the Heavens would not play by common sense.

On the contrary, there were some extremely terrifying creatures hidden here!

……

Thinking of this, Qin Feng led his troops toward his territory.

Having just obtained a new class transfer certificate, he naturally had to go back and recruit a wave.

As soon as he moved.

Countless players naturally followed him.

They didn't attack, just followed far behind him.

Qin Feng was currently a red-named player; as long as they killed him, they could obtain a massive amount of resources.

The players naturally didn't want to give up this opportunity.

And Qin Feng... naturally couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them.

Anyway, with his arrogant style of conduct, his territory coordinates would be exposed sooner or later.

But.

Even if they were exposed.

What could they do?

……. ===== CHAPTER 40 =====

Half an hour later.

Qin Feng returned to his territory with his troops.

He opened the territory interface.

With his current resources, he could completely max out the level directly.

In the game [War], every ten levels in a territory was a hurdle.

Every ten levels was also called a Tier.

Qin Feng was currently a Tier 1 lord.

And the gap between each tier was extremely huge.

The most intuitive one was the population cap.

Every time a tier was broken through, the territory's population cap would be a hundred times that of the previous tier's max level.

And so on.

By the time he became a Tier 10 lord... the population would be an extremely terrifying number.

Generally speaking, an ordinary person might only be a Tier 3 or 4 lord in their lifetime, and it would be very difficult to improve further.

Only those true powerhouses, or those from major families, had the possibility of continuing their path of strength.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng started operating directly.

Instantly, the system's voice rang out.

"Ding-dong~ You spent 1000 basic resources and successfully upgraded the [Lord's Hall] level; it is currently Level 2!"

"Ding-dong~ You spent 2000 basic resources and successfully upgraded the [Lord's Hall] level; it is currently Level 3!"

"……"

"Ding-dong~ You spent 9000 basic resources and successfully upgraded the [Lord's Hall] level; it is currently Level 10!"

"Ding-dong~ Your [Lord's Hall] level has reached the cap; the Tier 2 Lord Quest has been issued, please complete it in time!"

"……"

After a series of operations, his territory instantly reached Level 10.

Which was the highest level for a Tier 1 lord.

To go further, he needed to complete the Tier 2 Lord Quest.

He opened various pages to check.

……

[Magic Domain]

Level: 10

Total Population: 1000/1000 (Human)

Class-Transferable Population: 976 (Human)

Combat Units: 24 Human Archers (Tier 2)

Belonging Building: Lord's Hall (LV10)

Belonging Guild: None

Belonging City Wall: None

Defensive Building: None

Resources: 1.28M Wood, 1.64M Stone, 1.06M Iron Ore, 350K Magic Crystals, 13.6M Stone

……

[Lord Quest · Tier 2]

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

Quest Type: Lord Quest

Quest Difficulty: 2000

Quest Content: Kill Black Iron grade and above BOSSes (0/10)

Quest Deadline: 10 days

Quest Reward: Unlock territory level cap

(Hint: The deadline for the Tier 2 Lord Quest is 10 days; if failed, it will enter a 30-day cooldown period)

……

The data for the Level 10 territory was exactly the same as in Qin Feng's memory.

It was just that in terms of resources... they were still somewhat overflowing.

When he had this many resources in his past life, it was already several months later.

And the Tier 2 Lord Quest was actually an open-ended quest.

The minimum requirement was to kill 10 Black Iron grade BOSSes within ten days.

This requirement...

was enough to stump a large number of players.

BOSSes were still relatively difficult to fight.

And if the quest failed, it would enter a certain cooldown period.

This was very uncomfortable.

Therefore, students usually kept their territory levels at Level 9, 19, 29. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====

This way, they wouldn't have to be issued a Lord Quest.

This was also basic knowledge from school textbooks—capping levels.

After all, if a Lord Quest failed, one would face penalties.

If a Lord Quest failed in the early stages, at most it would enter a cooldown.

In the later stages, one might be stuck forever.

However, there were various secret realms of all sizes in [War] that could be farmed repeatedly.

Students from the same school, as long as their territories weren't too far apart, would also group up to conquer secret realms.

But.

Qin Feng knew of a hidden mechanism: this quest could yield excess rewards.

The more BOSSes killed, and the higher their grade, the more rewards one would obtain.

He clearly remembered that in his past life, a guy from the Bear Country, whose talent was extremely strong, was bored and farmed hundreds of Black Iron grade BOSSes.

When he finally submitted the quest, he directly obtained Legendary-grade equipment.

Therefore, Qin Feng naturally had to go for a wave of excess rewards.

At this moment, he started using his newly obtained class transfer certificate.

[Wind-Speed Shooter]

Grade: Tier 5

Consumption: 500 basic resources/each

Food Consumption: 100/day

……

Below super, which meant troops below Tier 10, were all recruited in the [Basic Barracks].

Troops above Tier 10 all required the construction of specific recruitment buildings.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment.

Currently, he only had 1000 human population, so he could at most transfer 1000 Wind-Speed Archers.

Then...

The Tier 2 Human Archers would be of no use.

He decided to disband all the Tier 2 troops.

"Ding-dong~ You are about to disband [Human Archers (Tier 2)] *24; do you confirm?"

"Hint: After disbanding, the units after class transfer will return to ordinary population, and no experience points will be returned!"

Qin Feng didn't hesitate: "Confirm!"

"Ding-dong~ Your [Human Archers (Tier 2)] *24 have been disbanded and returned to ordinary population!"

"……"

……

In [War], reasonable population planning was still very important.

And disbanding low-tier troops was considered a routine operation.

However, disbanding troops would not return anything.

The levels gained, troop limit breakthroughs, and skill books would all be consumed.

Of course, what Qin Feng lost was just a bit of experience points.

And with the aura, experience points were the least valuable thing.

He didn't feel a bit of heartache.

And at this moment, he used all 1000 population to produce [Wind-Speed Shooters (Tier 5)].

"Ding-dong~ You are about to consume 500K Wood, Iron Ore, and Stone to transfer 1000 human population into [Wind-Speed Shooters (Tier 5)]; do you confirm?"

"Confirm!"

"Ding-dong~ Your [Wind-Speed Shooters (Tier 5)] *1000 are in training; current countdown: 83 minutes!"

"……"
