Chapter 3- Rapid Promotion

Chapter 3- Rapid Promotion

Cheng Yang quickly put away his thoughts. Now that he’s Luo Feng village Lord he can start viewing the village properties panel from the altar.

He walked to the front of the altar and successfully opened Luo Feng village’s properties panel.

Name: Luo Feng Village

Residence (level 1): Place for people to rest and cultivate, and can improve efficiency of cultivation by 10%, maximum occupancy of 5 people in each house. Durability 500, Defense 3. Resources needed: 10 cubic meters of wood.

Territory attributes: Speed (level 1) Field station’s profession move 10% faster inside territory, the grade level increase with the territory level.

Territory power value: 0

Promotion criteria: Transfer up to 100 people, four main profession statues raised to level 2, and 1000 points of territory power value.

As expected of a simple village’s properties panel, only the four statues were introduced. A level one village doesn’t have many buildings, but as the four statues are upgraded, they will naturally appear.

Now he only needs to build the wall and residence. These two buildings are very important and needed to be built as soon as possible.

Territory power value, this is a very important value as it regards to the promotion of the statues, increases in peoples cultivation speed, as well as upgrading the village level. It also requires power value to be able to transfer to a career or to be promoted. Under normal circumstances this consumption is from the persons own power value. But in cases where there is no power value, it can be agreed by the Lord to consume the territory power value instead.

In the main city, people initially have no power value. To be able to transfer in the main city required them to borrowed 10 power values from God. Once the power value is borrowed, it will automatically be deducted from the person’s balance and have to be paid off with a minimum deduction of 20 points in arrears. If the time is drag on for too long before paying, the power value owed will be increased.

Field station’s Lord has a great deal of autonomy in this regard. He can even allow other people to consume the territory power values for free, or he can create the term of reimbursement owed and the duration for them, it’s all entirely determined by the Lord himself.

Territory power value are obtained in two different ways, one is by killing the enchanted beasts which will give out power value in the confines of a 1-kilometer area around the field station’s territory which gets attributed to the territory power value accordingly. Another way is by having people donate power value, but currently Luo Feng village has not yet opened the donation option.

Luo Feng village’s properties panel look pretty simple now. But Cheng Yang knows, territory properties can’t be so simple; this is just a level 1 village. When the village level increases, the properties panel will change greatly.

In the village’s properties panel are followed by two pages, one is the village administration management, which now only has Cheng Yang name with the title of Lord on it. On this page he can set the territory’s management personnel, as well as the appropriate permissions.

Another page was the Lord’s exclusive gift, and now there is only one, which is called grace.

This exclusive power sound very atmospheric, but it’s actually a reward for the Lord whenever the territory gets upgraded. Every time the territory upgrades a level the Lord will be able to increase a minor order as a reward. The field station Cheng Yang occupied was upgraded from scratch so he can already use grace once.

Grace also has its usage restrictions; a level 1 village grace can only be used when the Lord’s strength is below the first-peak order apprentice to be effective.

Without hesitation, Cheng Yang used grace on himself.

Under his mind control, a mysterious energy overflowed from the altar, and quickly drilled its way into his body.

After the energy entered his body, Cheng Yang felt more powerful than ever before.

His properties had doubled, which is the most significant sign of strength increase. It took him nearly two months to arrive at this point in the past.

Under normal circumstances, any profession chance to raise an order isn’t easy; to leapfrog this far in the early stages is even more absurd. The human party that tried to occupy Luo Feng village paid such a heavy price, the biggest reason for this was that there was a enchanted beast at the first peak-order. That’s the human equivalent of a profession’s apprentice at the first-peak order. At that time, most human’s strength was still in the low-order apprentice, while a small minority of people achieved themid-order apprentice.

Now, he was able to easily achieve mid-order sorcerer’s apprentice, which is at least one month ahead of everyone else struggling. The saying goes, “One step ahead, step by step leading, and over time this advantage will further expand.”

The time has reached noon, Cheng Yang is now wondering what is needed to be done next.

Now he has two choices, one is to go back to Xiangcheng City to buy wood, or wait until the time of apocalypse come to cut down wood on his own. This will no doubt require a lot of time to complete. But this matter doesn’t need to be done in a hurry, as long as there is a pile of wood nearby before the apocalypse happen would be fine.

As regard to the second choice, it’s using his memory of the past to look for a specific article, and if it’s successfully found his future development will have great benefits.

It doesn’t matter about the other benefits, as long as he can find that place, he’ll be able to preemptive earn some power values, allowing Liu Hao and his two other roommate brothers to be able to transfer to a profession.

He was able to directly transfer before was an advantage of being the Lord. Because the territory belonged to him, so when he transferred it doesn’t consume any power value. But for anyone else who wants to transfer here, power value will be needed.

But for this matter, Cheng Yang wasn’t entirely sure because he couldn’t determine whether this article had been delivered to the world yet, and even if it did, being able to find it is very slim. The reason for this is that when the apocalypse start, earthquakes will occurred, making the terrain around the world change beyond recognition. His ability to successfully find the territory altar is entirely due to the rumors in his memory, as well as the position of the highway and river.

After pondering over the matter for a while, Cheng Yang decided to try his luck.

After walking along the road of the hill for two or three miles, Cheng Yang found himself getting nowhere, so he decided to head back. It seems that this article really isn’t something that he can get his hand on at this time.

Now Cheng Yang decided to return to school to get the necessary amount of wood needed for the village. He went to find some twigs and leaves to covered the four statue heads, and then after making sure there weren’t any flaws, he began walking down the hill.

On the way down, Cheng Yang pondered whether he should put news of the incoming apocalypse out, but eventually gave up that thought. If he can only make a loud commotion without any proof, even if he says it no one is going to believe him. They might even detained him on charges of inciting panic among the public. If he shows his ability from transferring to a magician, I’m afraid the consequences will be catastrophic, at least for him, it will be disastrous.

Since the news of the incoming apocalypse won’t be announce, then he only needed to save the people closest to himself. Everyone else can only depend on their own ability and luck.

Cheng Yang’s parents died already, so he has no loved ones. The only people he cared about now are his three roommates buddies. Although they had only stayed together for less than a year, but they are close to one another as real brothers.

After the apocalypse, wanting to rely on one person alone is impossible, and for Cheng Yang to achieve his goals, the more unlikely it is to do it alone. If possible, he wanted to pull tens of thousands of people, butt he’s very self-aware that he doesn’t have such ability at the moment.

So he decided to save a few of his bros, not only to save them, but also to help himself.

Cheng Yang after thinking for a long time has decided what to do next.

When he returned to the dormitory, Cheng Yang met Liu Hao on the way back. The two men while chatting walked back to the dorm.

In the bedroom the other two weren’t in a class, so when they returned the two men were sitting at the computer playing games.

“Brother Liu, brother Niu, brother Yui, how much money do you three have right now?“ Cheng Yang walked into the room, and directly asked.

Including Liu, three people were stupefied. Liu Hao said: “Brother Yang, what’s wrong? I saw you this morning and noticed something wasn’t quite right, but I didn’t think it was a good idea to ask you directly about it in the classroom.”

Niu Bing and Yu Kai had stopped playing games by this point and turned around to look at Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang quietly said: “This matter I really can’t say, but I need the money now. The more the merrier, I hope you all can lend it to me. ”

“Brother Yang by all means you can use the money. “Yu Kai sincerely said: “But the way you are acting now, we aren’t comfortable. Don’t make us worry too much. ”

Cheng Yang said: “For now I really can’t say the reason, but after tomorrow afternoon you will know. Such a short time you can always wait. ”
