Chapter 33: Lavish Rewards, Heaven-Defying Effects!

“Brothers, the rewards are here!”

“Haha, even though we didn’t place in the rankings, the monster tide rewards are truly generous.”

“Exactly—we can develop worry-free for a whole month.”

“Now we won’t have to worry about food or clothing.”

“Spring is perfect for sowing—those reward seeds can finally be planted!”

“I’m off to clear farmland right now.”

Bai Bai Xiaowei: “Hehe, I’ve received a new defense tower reward.”

“That’s awesome—must’ve taken you no time at all to clear the monster tide, huh?”

Bai Bai Xiaowei: “Indeed—it was quick, and I also got a high-tier troop-building reward.”

“…Holy crap.”

“Totally off the charts.”

“Bai Bai Xiaowei really is… enviable.”

“Where’s Su Yu? Where’s the great Su Shen?”

“His Level-3 territory must yield even greater rewards!”

“Maybe it wasn’t a ‘Ghost Wolf’-tier monster tide, but a second-tier ‘Nightmare’-tier monster tide—then the rewards would definitely be huge.”

Bai Bai Xiaowei: “@Su Yu, Great God Su Yu, are you there? If so, just say something—I’m feeling anxious…”

Su Yu: “Stop pestering me—I’m busy.”

Seeing Su Yu’s reply,

Bai Bai Xiaowei’s taut inner nerves relaxed.

She gazed blankly toward the horizon.

Calamity had already descended—had Su Yu eradicated the calamity?

The top-ranked territory across all realms and races: “Never-Fallen,”

was… Great God Su Yu’s territory, right?

All realms and races combined… still couldn’t surpass Su Yu.

Bai Bai Xiaowei sighed in awe, yet her heart swelled with irrepressible joy.

At that moment, she believed that as long as she closely followed Su Yu’s path, she would surely become a sovereign empress of her generation!

Right now, Su Yu truly was extremely busy.

So busy his vision blurred.

[Congratulations! You have received the “Calamity-Tier” special reward.]

[Congratulations! You have received the “Rank #1” reward.]

The dazzling array of rewards left Su Yu momentarily dazed.

Seeing the blueprints for defensive buildings,

he immediately used them on the Lord Crystal without hesitation.

Instantly, the Lord Crystal unlocked three types of defensive towers and one type of wall structure.

Sniper Tower, Energy-Focusing Cannon, Laser Tower, Obsidian Wall.

Wall structures, like fence structures, can be relocated anywhere within the territory.

They can shift their edges outward as the territory expands,

though only once per day.

However, every 100 meters of wall or fence built counts as one territory building.

That was precisely why Su Yu hadn’t built fences earlier.

With limited building slots, using defensive towers to suppress enemies with firepower was far more effective than building fences only to get battered.

Moreover, his buildings’ health points were so high that they didn’t need fence protection at all.

Now that superior resources were available,

Su Yu planned to demolish his current territory and rebuild it from scratch,

since the early defensive towers had been erected solely to withstand the monster tide.

Ordinary arrow-based defense towers could now be honorably retired.

The enchanted Ice Arrow Defense Tower and the upgraded Artillery Launcher, however, remained useful.

Su Yu retrieved the last two—and most important—rewards from the Lord Crystal’s storage space.

“Calamity-Kill Grand Pack” and “Rank #1 Grand Pack.”

He opened the ranking reward pack first,

and a golden light suddenly blazed forth in the darkness.

[Congratulations! You have obtained a Legendary Hero Recruitment Card.]

Huh? A Legendary hero?

Su Yu, who had long awaited this, felt both amused and exasperated.

His territory already housed two Mythic heroes—what need did he have for a Legendary one?

It seemed he’d have to find an opportunity to sell it.

Of course, such a precious item could never be sold at the “Trading Hut.”

The Trading Hut only accepted territory energy for sale.

He’d have to wait and see if future opportunities arose to exchange it for resources with other territory lords.

Su Yu took a deep breath and opened the final pack.

A rainbow-hued radiance shot skyward.

[Congratulations! You have obtained the Mythic-tier artifact: Building Core.]

[Building Core]

[Tier: Mythic]

[Type: One-Time Use Item]

[Effect: Upon use, grants the territory three permanent buffs: “Unfallen City,” “Absolute Defense,” and “Transcendent World.”]

“Unfallen City”: All territory buildings gain a tenfold increase in health, attack power, and defense.

“Absolute Defense”: As long as defensive structures exist within the territory, the Lord’s Crystal becomes invincible.

“Transcendent World”: The maximum number of buildings allowed in the territory is raised to—unlimited.]

“What the hell?!”

Su Yu stared blankly at the rainbow-colored heart-shaped gemstone in his hand.

With effects like these—combined with his Mythic Talent—he was practically defying heaven itself!

Su Yu immediately activated the [Heart of Architecture].

On the territory panel’s status bar, in addition to his Mythic Talent, three new effects appeared: “Unfallen City,” “Absolute Defense,” and “Transcendent World.”

With the effect of “Absolute Defense” active, his Nexus gained invincibility.

Now, even if he encountered stealth units exceptionally skilled at infiltration—or even heroes with invisibility abilities—

he no longer needed to fear them.

No one could secretly destroy his Nexus.

Not even when he was away campaigning.

By the time enemies had expended tremendous effort to sneak all the way to his Lord’s Nexus,

only to discover it was invincible, their expressions would surely be priceless.

And the “Transcendent World” effect was even more astonishing!

There was no upper limit on the number of territory buildings!

Combined with his Mythic Talent, [Twin Holy Diti Flowers],

Su Yu couldn’t even begin to imagine how powerful he would become…

Excited, Su Yu sat atop the mountain and stayed awake all night.

It wasn’t until a sliver of dawn light bathed his ruined territory at daybreak

that his excitement gradually subsided.

He took a deep breath,

opened his Lord Terminal, and searched for a Lord ID he knew by heart.

Then he sent a friend request.

[Lin Luoyue accepted your Lord friend request.]
