Chapter 201: Level 20, Population Boom, Building Development

Su Yu did not notice the shift in mindset of the two Mythic Heroes under his domain.

He immediately used the blueprint he had obtained.

【Your Lord Crystal has unlocked a new construction capability: Advanced Spirit Field.】

【Your Lord Crystal has unlocked a new construction capability: Advanced Cloud Ladder.】

Su Yu summoned Zhang San.

"Today, one group will reclaim the Spirit Fields, while another will construct the Cloud Ladders."

"The rest will focus all efforts on building Laser Towers!"

Having spoken, he handed a large sack of KBBF crystals to Zhang San.

"Yes, my lord!" Zhang San extended both hands and respectfully accepted them.

"By the way, use this fertilizer, Jin Kela, to water the Experience Tree."

Su Yu took out a small mountain pile of Jin Kela.

Zhang San immediately called upon the farmers to begin carrying it.

"Go down and fetch Xiao Xiao Mei for me."

"Understood, my lord."

Zhang San respectfully took his leave.

Not long after, a woman wearing an apron and possessing a graceful figure walked over.

She was the Head Chef of "Never Fall," Xiao Xiao Mei.

She was specifically responsible for the diet of the Lord and the Heroes.

"Xiao Xiao Mei, learn this recipe."

Su Yu handed over the "Advanced Recipe."

"Thank you, my lord." Xiao Xiao Mei smiled with her eyes, accepted the recipe, and bowed slightly to take her leave.

Watching Xiao Xiao Mei's back,

Su Yu lightly stroked his chin.

The resources returned by Nilyana included an "Advanced Refinement Stone."

Unfortunately, his 【Cloud Heaven Demon Flame Bow】 was of Shi Shi grade.

To boost its power, an Shi Shi grade Refinement Stone would be required.

"Never mind, let's use it on this item."

Su Yu took out a dragon-horned short dagger from his waist.

This was a dagger polished from the dragon horns of the previously used 【Demon Flame Dark Dragon】.

It was unranked, possessing only the function of sharpness.

It was very handy for committing suicide.

An Advanced Refinement Stone can refine any weapon or equipment of Advanced grade or below.

【Refinement successful, Refinement Level +1.】

【Dragon Horn Short Dagger +1】

【Unranked】

【Description: Sharp dragon horns, after refinement, seem even sharper.】

Without a Forging skill, one cannot craft equipment of a grade recognized by the Create the Myriad Worlds battlefield.

Su Yu did not expect the Dragon Horn Short Dagger to do anything special.

As long as it was sharp enough to cut one's own neck for suicide, that would suffice.

【Congratulations, your level has increased to Level 20, and all abilities have improved.】

After eating the Experience Fruit, the level rose to Level 20.

On the Create the Myriad Worlds battlefield, every 10 levels marks a watershed.

To rise further from Level 20 requires a vast amount of experience points.

At least, the resources near a new Lord's domain are insufficient to raise a level above 20.

Sylph and Idoti still relied on slaying Mythic Void Beasts to reach Level 22.

Regarding levels, Su Yu was not in a hurry.

The number of his buildings kept increasing, and the strength of his domain kept growing.

He felt very at ease.

After processing the resources returned by Nilyana,

Su Yu gazed at the domain energy stored in his Lord Crystal.

His eyes held a smile.

He was in desperate need of domain energy.

Ten million domain energy—how should this be spent?

"Upgrade~!"

Su Yu decided without hesitation, spending 2.8 million domain energy.

He upgraded the farmhouses of his domain,

the 6,000 Grade C wooden houses,

and the 4,000 Grade B stone houses,

all into Grade A duplexes!

Adding to the previous 1,000 duplexes,

The territory's duplex houses reached 11,000 rooms!

One duplex house can provide a population cap of five.

The territory's population cap surged to 55,010!

"Recruit!"

As the new lord's territory developed, the 【Peasant Recruitment Order】 sold by the 【Trading House】

became increasingly expensive, costing roughly several hundred Territory Energy per unit.

But Su Yu could not worry about such things.

Territory population meant productivity.

The earlier the recruitment, the better the development.

One must know that for others,

the building cap for a Level 3 Crystal was only 500 structures.

It was fundamentally impossible to expand to Su Yu's population in the early stages.

Moreover, one had to weigh the numbers between troops and peasants.

One could not use all the population to recruit peasants for production and development.

After all, once peasants are recruited, one cannot simply discard them if unwanted.

If they have committed no offense and you order their execution, the entire territory's loyalty will likely plummet!

Recruiting peasants heavily is only possible if your territory is exceptionally safe, free of nearby threats, or under the protection of a great power.

Take Bai Xiaowei, for instance; she only focused on development and construction.

Therefore, the massive productivity brought by Su Yu's vast number of peasants

for a new lord

was utterly insane!

Using the "Peasant Recruitment Orders" previously sent by the chubby Fatty Jian Ruiming,

and spending 2.4 million Territory Energy to sweep the 【Trading House】's "Peasant Recruitment Orders,"

Su Yu successfully recruited 26,000 peasants.

They chose roles suited to their skills according to the territory's planned positions, each performing their duties.

"Comfortable! Today I reached Level 3 Lord Crystal and can expand the farmhouses."

"Hehe, I reached it a week ago. Now I already have 200 farmhouses, with a population cap of 410."
