My troops evolve infinitely

Even if you give up and lie down, you can still hold on to your job as the iron lord and live a very stable life.

Some lords who accepted investments from large groups had to build or plant what the group required according to the contract requirements, but most people could also obtain a batch of supplies at this time, such as seeds of special crops, etc.

The most arrogant one, of course, is the second generation of the lord.

They still have restrictions on transporting treasures from reality into the eternal world, but they can spend a lot of money and energy to transport treasures from the eternal world across cities and regions.

However, cross-regional transportation is quite difficult and dangerous, and most strong second-generation people can only purchase supplies from nearby cities at best.

Moreover, even if their parents could send them the residual souls of high-level soldiers, they might not be able to control such powerful soldiers that are born with intelligence.

The lord is already upper-middle class and ultimately has to rely on himself.

...They still have a huge advantage!

It is better to say that the power of krypton gold can only be truly demonstrated after the trial, and it will be difficult for non-krypton gold builders to build a territory.

“So, what’s my path to development?”

Mu·Independent Lord·Civilian Player·Yuan began to ponder.

Chapter 102 Infrastructure List

Being an independent lord is certainly not a dead end. In addition to external investment, krypton gold, support from elders and other ways, there are also some ways for lords to make money in the early stages.

For example, a lord can apply to be a 'Pioneering Lord'. Since the new territory is located at the outermost edge of the Taixuan Alliance, it will attract many old players to come and explore the surrounding environment and make gold. The pioneering lord can almost make money without doing anything.

——Buy gold-making materials from old players at low prices (it is difficult for ordinary players to transport large amounts of materials), sell supplies at high prices, open accommodation businesses, etc.

If an old player discovers a wild resource point, the pioneer lord can obtain the priority right to occupy the resource point after paying a reward.

Cooperation between pioneer lords and ranger players is a win-win situation.

There are also drawbacks. When developing territory, there will inevitably be a mix of good and bad people.

This is obviously not suitable for Tianyuan Territory, so Muyuan will cross it out.

Furthermore, leasing the Lord's Altar, training buildings, military buildings, and so on, was not suitable for him. In the future, when Tianyuan Territory grew larger and had a stable order, he might consider opening it up to players. For now... he had to keep a low profile.

"After much thought, it seems that Tianyuan Territory can only take the path of a 'resource export-oriented' territory."

However, unlike most resource territories, his Tianyuan Territory will not take the low-end route... Uh, no, ordinary outputs such as jade crystal rice and red blood fruit are also acceptable. The more money can be made, the better.

With a special building like 'Golden Fertile Soil', he can obtain income far exceeding that of other lords even if he only grows ordinary crops.

But high-end soil is naturally more compatible with high-end crops.

Mu Yuan thought that he could transplant a few snake blood fruit trees from the snake tribe far away here, which would save a relatively long growth time, and then plant another batch later.

"There's also the Vitality Spring Water. The production of this special material is almost free and highly profitable. If you can get an alchemy hut and create some potion formulas using Vitality Spring Water as the main ingredient, you can make even more money."

Lord Mu pondered as he sat at the desk in the Mage Tower and began to write and draw.

quite a while,

He muttered to himself and opened the territory interface.

An interface box containing a lot of information immediately appeared, which was completely different from the previous youth version.

Tianyuan Collar

「Level: First-level territory」

「Faction: Taixuan Alliance」

「Architecture: Omitted」

Arms: Brief

Civilians: None

"Buildable buildings: Watchtower, House, Fence, Farmland, Guide Sign (3/3), Cornerstone of Knowledge (1/1)"

「Upgrade conditions:」

After being promoted to the first level of territory, the lord can directly build miracle buildings remotely, and can also consume resources such as soul sand to repair damaged miracle buildings.

Some buildings can be built directly without consuming miracle blueprints.

The four basic items, namely, watchtowers, houses, fences and farmlands, are the important supports for new lords to build their territories. Among them, farmlands have their own fertility and have a significant promoting effect on the growth of crops.

It is precisely because of the miracle farmland that crops such as 'Jade Rice' and 'Golden Wheat' can be easily grown and have high yields.

After the territory is upgraded, you can unlock 'new constructible buildings', such as arrow towers and artillery batteries.

However, no matter how the territory is upgraded, it can only provide basic buildings. Advanced buildings of rare grades still have to be built by the lord himself by obtaining gold coins and blueprints.

The number of units built is always limited.

The lord cannot enjoy the joy of building at will.

Unless you can obtain the legendary "infinite blueprints" that can be directly integrated into the territory and have an unlimited number of constructions.

...

There are two special buildings in the buildable list.

Signposts and cornerstones of understanding.

The former has the function of guiding and absorbing refugees, and only three can be built in a first-level territory.

The latter allows lost people from different regions, or even from various lost worlds, to communicate without obstacles once they enter the territory.

Over time, players, subjects, and soldiers who have awakened their self-awareness can gradually learn the common language of the Eternal Continent.

Mu Yuan quickly built it.

"Hint: You have consumed 1 soul crystal, and the foundation stone is being constructed."

Rumbling--

In the south of the territory, rubble emerged from nowhere, gathering together inch by inch, and in the blink of an eye, formed a stone tablet more than three meters high, on which the shadow of common characters could be vaguely seen flashing.

"Tianyuan."

Mu Yuan recited softly, using the pronunciation of the common language. He began to learn little by little, finding it easy to learn. Especially when he walked to the stone tablet and gazed deeply at it, it was as if he had a photographic memory, and in just a short while he memorized dozens of words.

This Tongzhi Stone Tablet is a bit magical~!

"Guji~!"

Duolai also came here, staring with wide eyes, and spoke word by word, "Soul sand is delicious, the steel bars taste good too, the flames taste like roasted chicken, and the lightning is a bit like mustard..."

Dolai learns very quickly.

The Bone stood in front of the Cornerstone of Knowledge for about thirty seconds. Without saying anything, it turned around and continued to work.

...

Once the foundation stone was built, the issue of refugees became an issue.

"Refugees can be recruited."

"They certainly don't have the loyalty of the soldiers, but most of them are honest and reliable. This is because before arriving in the territory, these refugees had been displaced for a long time. The lord only needs to give them a little sweetener and they will turn into a black-hearted boss and exploit them... ahem, of course, this does not include lords like me who have noble morals."

"Most importantly, once refugees arrive and join a territory, they are branded as citizens of that territory. It's difficult for them to leave easily."

In his Tianyuan Territory, infrastructure construction, logging, cultivating land for farming, making handicrafts, etc., these ordinary jobs need to be done by civilians, and the soldiers who have just gained some intelligence are far inferior to ordinary people in doing them.

He planned to set aside a living area in the south of the territory to provide housing for civilians.

The core area, the barracks areas on the east and west sides, etc. are designated as restricted areas and separated by fences and watchtowers.

Just do it.

However, he will not officially recruit refugees until these areas are planned and divided.

……

Taixuan Alliance, capital.

In an attic on a magnificent tower.

The air was filled with smoke and an old man was holding a pipe, exhaling wisps of smoke. The smoke seemed to merge with the white clouds floating outside the floor-to-ceiling window, making the old man feel as if he was among the clouds.

Not far from the old man was a younger-looking young man wearing a navy blue jacket, with thick long hair casually draped to his waist. He was tall and strong, and sat upright like a sculpture.

The young man placed his hands on his knees, his eyes looking straight ahead without focus, as if he was not looking at Taixuan Capital, but at the Blue Star Xuan Kingdom.

"Overseas, a small city disappeared overnight. Most of it was destroyed by a wave of monsters, and a small part fell into the eternal world."

The old man still had his pipe in his hand. He looked out the window and could vaguely see the destiny of the Xuan Kingdom soaring in the clouds. It was vast and ethereal, but it was still just a drop in the ocean in the eternal world.

He said:

"This is fate. At least, we can't change it. What we can do is try our best to ensure that the Xuan Kingdom city falls within the Taixuan Alliance during the fusion. However, there are still several vast desolate areas within the alliance..."

After a pause, the old man looked at the young man in a mandarin jacket and said, "Liu Shi, I'll have to trouble you to go and beat up the overlords of these regions."

"That's where your destiny lies."

"If beating them doesn't work, then we'll just eradicate them. Our Taixuan Alliance...is not the same alliance we were twenty years ago."

Chapter 103 The gradual awakening of self-awareness

The next day, Mu Yuan woke up on a slightly hard bed in the Mage Tower.

Open the windows, take a deep breath, inhale the fragrance from the life-giving spring, and welcome a new, sunny day.

This time, it was not his consciousness that descended, but his real body that entered.

——After the Lord Trial is over, the Lord player can freely switch between "Consciousness Mode" and "Media Mode", and can also "transport" himself into the eternal world through the Lord Altar.

The cross-border fee is very low, but you can only transport yourself and not other players.

After some thought.

If he stayed in the real world, the projection of the eternal world would still be a fatal weakness, but if he entered in person, the fatal points would be reduced from two to one.

Thinking about the wanted criminal of the cult whom I met last time, it might be safer to stay in my own nest in the eternal world.

He doesn't go out anyway.

The Mage Tower is okay to live in.
