Lord: My troops can evolve indefinitely.

Luo Xuan couldn't wait to read on, wanting to verify his conjecture.

【Cold Moon Fruit】can increase the lord's leadership value by 1 point, with a maximum of 10 fruits per person.

The Blood Moon Fruit increases a lord's leadership value by 3 points, with a maximum of 3 fruits per lord.

The [Radiant Fruit] has not been obtained by anyone yet, but it is speculated to increase leadership value by at least 10 points.

[Moonlight Coral]...

. . .

The post then listed several rare and exotic fruits that could increase a lord's leadership value, and concluded with the following sentence:

"All increases in leadership stats are also doubled when the territory is upgraded!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xuan's pupils contracted. Although he had already suspected something, he was still somewhat surprised when it was actually confirmed.

Luo Xuan was clearly not the only one with this idea, so unsurprisingly, the post went viral, with hundreds of thousands of replies and discussions.

"In that case, it is indeed the right thing to do to avoid upgrading the territory as much as possible in the early stages."

Luo Xuan looked at the various comments on the screen and pondered to himself.

In a level 1 territory, everyone starts with 10 leadership points, but once you obtain rare and exotic fruits, the increase gained during subsequent upgrades will quickly widen the gap between you and other players.

Finally, the post also draws a conclusion—the leadership value of a level 1 territory is equivalent to the lord's potential.

The higher the first-level leadership value, the greater the potential.

This is also the consensus of almost all players who read the post.

However, this has also sparked some debate – when exactly should a territory be upgraded?

Everyone now knows that it's better to upgrade later, or after you've gained more leadership points.

However, in a death game involving life and death, is it really right to deliberately suppress one's own strength and not upgrade one's territory?

The initial 10 points of leadership are not high. Players need to rely on the troops with these 10 points of leadership to protect their territory and also go out to explore, which is very difficult.

However, none of this was a problem for Luo Xuan.

He can directly use [Endless Transformation] to use excess units as materials to strengthen several powerful units.

In this way, one can maintain their combat strength without upgrading their territory.

Just as Luo Xuan was about to continue reading the next post, the Lord's Mark suddenly sensed a warning from Azathoth—an enemy had invaded!

Luo Xuan was startled and quickly put down his phone, his mind completely absorbed in the conversation.

Soon, after a brief period of dizziness, Luo Xuan reappeared in his territory.

Luo Xuan looked around and found that Azathoth was on guard with two great river spirits on the other side of the territory, and the figures of two strange fish could be vaguely seen in the bushes in the distance.

At this moment, daylight had arrived on the continent of Aetheran, and the sunlight dispelled the darkness.

The other party was still some distance away, their figure hidden in the bushes in the distance. Luo Xuan looked over and quickly obtained information about the other party.

[Unit Type]: Deep Sea Slave

[Race]: Naga

[Level]: Tier 1, Level 3

[Quality]: White (Standard)

[Type]: Infantry

[Life]: 65

[Physical Attack]: 2-3

[Physical Defense]: 2

[Magic Attack]: 0

[Magic Defense]: 2

[Speed]: Medium

[Skill]: Following the Current

[Demand Statistics Value]: 1

"It's actually the Naga race." Luo Xuan was somewhat surprised when he saw the information displayed on the panel.

He wasn't sure if this was because it was isolated far from its tribe, or if his territory was near the Naga's sphere of influence.

While browsing information online, Luo Xuan had seen a rare treasure called "Moonlight Coral," which could increase leadership value by 2 points after consumption. It was produced in the sea area where the Naga people lived.

The appearance of Naga troops around Luo Xuan's territory suggests that his territory is not far from the Naga's area of ​​activity.

This is both a danger and an opportunity.

"When we get back, we'll have to look for a map of the mainland or a map showing the distribution of various races and factions."

Luo Xuan hadn't realized this before, but after encountering the Naga, he suddenly realized that he knew absolutely nothing about the area surrounding his territory.

However, unlike other online games, this lord game does not have a location function, so Luo Xuan had some difficulty determining the location of his territory and could only try to find some distinctive terrain features to compare.

While Luo Xuan was lost in thought, the deep-sea slaves in the bushes in the distance quietly retreated.

Luo Xuan looked at the bushes in the distance and the woods further away, but had no intention of venturing out to investigate.

"Azathoth, pay more attention to this direction when you patrol in the future."

"Gurgle~"

After giving a few brief instructions, he inspected the territory—the surrounding fences were still dilapidated, and the lord's hall was still that old wooden hut.

However, Luo Xuan was not in a hurry; he needed to learn about the game's basic information as soon as possible.

After returning to reality, Luo Xuan continued to browse various information online, absorbing knowledge and information like a thirsty sponge.

"I see. So it's possible to voluntarily give up territory and become a hero. But that would lower the potential of your character by a lot."

Late at night, Luo Xuan continued browsing while eating takeout, and would comment on certain pieces of information as he came across them.

Then, Luo Xuan came across a post explaining racial conflict.

Although Luo Xuan has a talent that doesn't conflict with his abilities, he still takes these rules-related information very seriously.

According to the post, if a lord commands troops of the second race, he will be penalized by having his leadership value doubled; if he commands troops of the third race, his leadership value will be quadrupled, and so on.

Therefore, most lords focus on developing a single race when they are at a low level.

Luo Xuan remembered this, even though he wouldn't be punished, others would be.

Through this, he can make a preliminary judgment on the opponent's general troop composition, or make the opponent misjudge his own troop composition.

Luo Xuan rubbed his eyes and put down his phone late into the night.

After an afternoon and a night of intensive surfing, Luo Xuan had a pretty good grasp of the basic information about the Lord game, and the rest couldn't be found online.

In addition, Luo Xuan had an extra gain—he discovered terrain similar to that near his own territory in a player's post.

Then, based on other maps and photos online, Luo Xuan gradually determined the location of his territory.

His territory, Tianxuan Territory, is located in the westernmost part of the Tianyu Empire (human race), near the Falling Moon Canyon, which borders the Saint Loen Kingdom (human race).

Further west lies a large body of water, which is said to connect to the Turbulent Sea.

The core area of ​​activity for the Naga race is located in the Turbulent Sea between the Garden of Light (Elves), the Oschi Commercial Federation (Humans), and the Kingdom of Saint Loen.

Luo Xuan lay in bed, and before falling asleep, he couldn't help but send Zhao Wenjie a message: Why do the units in the game appear in reality?

Luo Xuan had searched for this question online and found all sorts of answers, so he decided to ask a professional.
