C26 – His Territory Could Have Two Names
Tung Quanpan felt a sense of resignation. With the Lord of the Heavenly Court having made his stance clear, she had no choice but to concede.
“Give me a moment to crunch the numbers,” she replied.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
“Sure!” Qiang Nantie responded.
Tung Quanpan set to work, calculating the prices of the wild beasts listed in the trade column. Truthfully, she was quite pleased; Qiang Nantie’s formidable strength meant he could secure a substantial food supply for her.
Her troops had an enormous appetite. Without state subsidies, feeding even one would pose a significant challenge.
Her luck was nothing to write home about.
She couldn’t find any food here.
Had it not been for the doubling of her Soul Coins, she might have sunk into despair.
The real problem was her inability to grow any crops in this place. Anyone else in her shoes would likely be driven to madness.
The Lord of the Heavenly Court had managed to venture into the mist within two days and slay a Level 8 creature.
His prowess truly astounded her.
Her own Dragon Knight, by comparison, was only capable of contending with Level 5 beasts.
Eager to foster a strong partnership with Qiang Nantie, she offered a price that was even higher than the official rate.
It was a strategic move, one she was confident her superiors would endorse.
After running the numbers, Tung Quanpan decided on a transaction sum of two million spirit coins.
“Two million?” Qiang Nantie exclaimed, caught off guard. He hadn’t done the math himself, but intuitively, he knew these wild beasts weren’t worth that much.
They should be valued at just over a million, especially considering his recent monster kills and the current scarcity of food. In a few days, food prices were bound to drop.
“Isn’t that a bit too generous?” Qiang Nantie messaged back.
“I can’t let your efforts go unrewarded. I’m not short on spirit coins!” Tung Quanpan assured him.
She was tapping into the nation’s reserves.
“If you ever need food, just come to me. I’ve got another batch of resources for you,” she added.
Once the deal was done, Qiang Nantie stacked another pile of lumber.
He had come to realize that his buildings didn’t require wood for upgrades.
Conventional wisdom would suggest otherwise.
But he was unfamiliar with the upgrade process for high-quality structures, leaving him unaware of this particularity.
It’s possible that none of his buildings required wood or stone for upgrades.
This meant he could save a considerable amount of hassle. At the very least, he wouldn’t have to spend time acquiring these materials.
“So much wood! And you even have three-star wood.”
Tung Quanpan was utterly astonished!
She had thought Qiang Nantie had already surprised her greatly, but now she realized he was truly exceptional, shocking her all over again.
Tung Quanpan was at a loss for words. How on earth did he manage to gather so much wood?
“The territory must be rich in resources, and the monsters are just the right level for him to handle. Could this guy be born under a lucky star?” she wondered.
Tung Quanpan couldn’t help but be skeptical.
“Yes,” Qiang Nantie affirmed with conviction. “Naming a territory is just too taxing. It took me half an hour to come up with the first one.”
“Okay,” Huamo nodded, understanding it was only a name, no big deal.
“Fantastic.”
Qiang Nantie promptly hit “Confirm.”
The territory notification read: “Territory successfully named. Special territory detected; you may switch between two aliases at any time.”
Indeed, having two Overlord Spaces was a game-changer.
Now, Qiang Nantie set his sights on leveling up.
He was eager to summon a new hero, but yesterday’s attempts had shown him how challenging that could be.
His strategy was to increase his level first, hoping a boost in luck might turn the tides in his favor.
“Soul Coins decreased by 300. Lord Qiang Nantie, level ascended from Level 2 to Level 3.”
“Soul Coins decreased by 400. Lord Qiang Nantie, advanced from Level 3 to Level 4.”
“Soul Coins decreased by 500. Lord Qiang Nantie, level elevated from Level 4 to Level 5.”
