Chapter 11: The Legend of the Storm, the Cloud Sky Dragon Eye!

With stone, wood, and iron ore already in hand, there was no need to spend territory energy on building arrow towers.

The lord crystal had unlocked the blueprint; all he needed to do was have the peasants construct it.

Su Yu instructed the hardworking peasants to rest,

and then he came before the Trading House.

The speed at which his territory was developing far exceeded his expectations.

Whether it was the strength and efficiency of the peasants,

or the resources Silph had discovered during her exploration,

they all surpassed his expectations.

Therefore, he wanted to upgrade the lord crystal as soon as possible to unlock more area and building limits.

But,

to upgrade a level 2 lord crystal to level 3, besides occupying 100 grids of land,

it also required 50,000 territory energy!

Originally, Su Yu had planned to consider this after the seven-day protection period for new players ended,

but now, he had to think about it sooner.

After a moment's hesitation, he took out a pair of deep blue dragon eyes from his pocket

and placed them on the window of the Trading House.

[Cloud Sky Water Dragon Eye]

[Grade: Legendary]

[Description: The eye of the Cloud Sky Water Dragon, containing powerful water elemental force, is an excellent material for crafting staves.]

The grade of items, like that of troops, is distinguished by color.

Common items are white, advanced items are blue, rare items are purple, legendary items are gold, epic items are gilded gold, and mythical items are rainbow-colored.

At this moment, on the trading list of the new lords,

a golden legendary item name appeared,

rapidly rising to the top!

Until it reached the very top.

Items in the Trading House, unless specifically searched for, are arranged by grade.

However, the golden name [Cloud Sky Water Dragon Eye] at the top of the list stood out abnormally.

……

"A legendary item?! How is this possible? It's only the second day!"

A half-beast with a white tiger head and a human body, stared at the items in the Trading House, dumbfounded.

He was a new lord from the Tiger Clan.

……

"Legendary... This batch of new lords is quite interesting."

A demon with two horns and red skin, looked on with a deep gaze.

He was a new lord from the Demon Clan.

……

"Hehehe... Putting up a legendary item so quickly, is this a show-off?"

A transparent soul figure laughed maliciously.

He was a new lord from the Ghost Clan.

……

"This infuriates me! Why put up a dragon eye? Is this mocking our Dragon Clan?"

A young man, half-human and half-dragon, was furious.

He was a new lord from the Dragon Clan.

……

In the multiverse of countless civilizations and races,

the number of lords entering the Multiverse Battlefield was countless.

At this moment, regardless of race, all were drawn to the items in the Trading House.

"Damn, a legendary item right at the start?"

"Did he kill a dragon??"

"How could anyone have such high combat power on the second day?"

"It must be cheating, definitely cheating!"

"Is this guy the favorite son of the Multiverse Battlefield?"

"Could it be found? What kind of luck to find something like this?"

Su Yu's class group chat was also in an uproar.

After the previous incident with the random troop building card,

this time, Su Yu hid his ID when selling the dragon eyes.

To avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Selling for 100,000 territory energy, is he crazy?"

"Who would buy it at the start when territory energy is so crucial?!"

"Besides, who can afford it anyway?"

"That's not necessarily true. For new lords with backgrounds, the resources in the welcome package for new lords alone can amount to several thousand..."

"Several thousand? Damn... the evil of capitalism."

"Could it be that this Dragon Eye was also obtained through a real-world backroom deal?"

"The welcome package for new lords, no matter how you open it, only contains random troop building cards and 1000 territory energy. You can't get something like this from it."

"Damn, who on earth got something like this..."

Just as Su Yu was engrossed in the class group chat,

suddenly, someone sent him a private message.

He opened it and saw it was from Bai Bai Xiaowei, that little girl.

Bai Bai Xiaowei: "Sneaking a look at the stir you caused, does it feel good?"

Su Yu: "..."

Bai Bai Xiaowei: "Hehe, just joking. Great Lord Su Yu, remember to help me deal with the one at my doorstep when you have time..."

Su Yu: "Sure."

Bai Bai Xiaowei: "Can you really handle it?? That's a level 15 epic leader..."

Su Yu: "If you think I can't, then I won't."

Bai Bai Xiaowei: "Sure, definitely! Great Lord Su Yu, I love you! Mwah!"

Bai Bai Xiaowei, who had been dejected all day and was about to give up on becoming a lord, perked up again.

"Hehe, such a big leg to hold onto..."

Bai Bai Xiaowei lay on the farmhouse bed, drooling absentmindedly.

As night fell,

although the Cloud Sky Water Dragon Eye caused quite a stir, it still didn't sell.

In the early stages, this thing was completely worthless and useless.

Territory energy is crucial for the initial setup, without a doubt.

100,000 territory energy for a Cloud Sky Water Dragon Eye?

Very few people have both the courage and the financial means to do that.

Su Yu wasn't worried about not being able to sell it; the world is never short of extraordinary people.

After washing up, he returned to the Hero Hall.

He ran into Silve, who was changing clothes.

"Uh..."

Silve, having taken off her leather armor and short skirt, sat on the edge of the bed, left in only her undergarments.

Seeing Su Yu, she hurriedly put on the sleeping robe sewn by Li Li Huahua, her heart pounding nonstop.

"Lea, Leader, I'm going to sleep now."

Sylph was somewhat nervous and hurriedly crawled under the covers, even getting Su Yu's title wrong.

Compared to Sylph,

Su Yu was even more nervous at this moment.

Inside the quiet [Hero Hall], he could even hear the thumping of his own heartbeat.

"Hoo..."

Su Yu took two deep breaths and quietly got into bed.

Gazing at Sylph right before him,

he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Moonlight filtered through the window, scattering onto the golden hair before Su Yu's eyes,

creating a hazy halo.

Su Yu's gaze was somewhat dazed; he found it even harder to sleep.

Until, from before him, came the sound of steady breathing.

He tentatively reached out a hand to her willow-like waist,

and only then did he fall asleep, fully satisfied.

The third day.

[Because you were not well-behaved while sleeping, Sylph's loyalty +5. Current loyalty: 86.]

Su Yu opened his bleary eyes,

glanced at Sylph, who was changing clothes beside him, and hurriedly closed his eyes.

This... what is going on?

What does "not well-behaved while sleeping" mean?

Could it be that his actions last night were discovered?

It's just... why did her loyalty increase?

Su Yu was very nervous; his heart felt like it was stuck in his throat.

"Master Su Yu, it's time to get up."

Sylph called for Su Yu to wake up as per routine.

However, she did not know that Su Yu was woken up every morning by the territory notification sound because of her waking up.

"Good morning, Sylph."

Su Yu stretched, sat up, and pretended nothing had happened.

Sylph smiled sweetly.

[You have successfully sold the Cloud Sky Water Dragon Eye and obtained Territory Energy × 100,000.]

With 100,000 Territory Energy in hand, Su Yu immediately spent 50,000,

upgrading the Lord Crystal to Level 3!

[Congratulations, your Lord Crystal has successfully upgraded to Level 3.]

[You have unlocked new building blueprints: Mess Hall, Patterned Flooring, Playroom, Mystery Shop.]

[Your territory limit has been increased to 500 tiles.]

[Your building limit has been increased to 500 structures.]

[Your defensive building level limit has been increased to Level 30.]

[Your troop and hero level limit has been increased to Level 30.]

[You can obtain 2,000 points of Territory Energy daily.]

Level 3 territory,

Su Yu waved his hand, used Territory Energy, and built 9 farmhouses, increasing the population by 18.

Adding the previously built farmhouse, the population limit reached 30.

Building farmhouses requires beds, and cotton cannot be obtained anywhere nearby,

so the farmers cannot use materials to build farmhouses recognized by the Lord Crystal.

Spending Territory Energy is the most convenient way.

"Continuous recruitment!"

Inside the farmhouses, beams of white light surged.

Men cast from steel and iron walked out from within.

Women with proper appearances walked out from within.

"Greetings, Lord!"

"Rise."

Su Yu recruited 19 farmers this time, 10 men and 9 women.

Adding the previous 10 farmers,

and the hero Sylph, the population immediately reached the limit of 30.

As for himself, he is not counted in the territory population.

"Zhang San!"

Su Yu called out.

A sturdy man who was carrying stone materials immediately ran over.

"Master, Zhang San has arrived, please give your orders!"

"Lead them, and today do only one thing: build arrow towers. Build 100 of them first!"

"Yes!"

Zhang San accepted the order and, taking the newly recruited farmers, began to work.

Because building arrow towers was the primary task Su Yu issued,

even the female farmers joined in.

Don't look at their slender figures; they were actually very strong.

If it was just transport work, they could easily handle it.

Watching the hardworking farmers, Su Yu nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, he glanced at Sylph on the side,

and seeing that Sylph was not acting differently, his heart settled down a lot.

He was afraid that he, as a lord... was too exploitative and would leave a bad impression on Sylph.

"At the beginning of the territory, developing the territory is the farmers' responsibility."

"In the future, I will let them enjoy territory life."

Sylph seemed to see through what Su Yu was thinking and smiled:

"My responsibility is to protect you and the safety of the territory."

It seems,

the loyalty that suddenly increased this morning gave her motivation again.

"Master Su Yu, I am going out to hunt."

"Take care on your way."

The beautiful figure quickly leaped through the mountains and disappeared into the forest at the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye.

Watching Sylph go,

Su Yu began to ponder how to spend the remaining Territory Energy.

As for continuing to upgrade the Lord Crystal, that was something he didn't even dare to think about.

Upgrading a Level 3 Lord Crystal to Level 4 would cause a qualitative change,
