Lin Yi eagerly opened the various template interfaces of his territory.
In the Slave Exchange, the price of exclusive slaves remained steadily at two gold coins, with no further fluctuations!
Just one slave could save him 18 gold coins, and with large-scale purchases in the future, the amount saved would be astronomical.
"Material consumption has also dropped across the board!"
Lin Yi's eyes gleamed with joy; his territory now only needed ten Tier 4 demon cores to upgrade, and it seemed highly likely that he could reach a Level 5 territory during the trial period!
The rewards for upgrading to Tier 4 were already substantial enough; he couldn't even imagine what kind of surprises a Level 5 territory would bring!
The material requirements and conditions for the newly acquired Immortal-grade Hero Tavern and Military Base were also appropriately relaxed.
For the Military Base, prestige consumption was reduced to 300, crystal ore consumption to 100, and all prerequisite requirements had been met.
It was time to jointly develop oil... oh no, to have friendly meetings with other lords!
However...
What Lin Yi anticipated the most was undoubtedly the Immortal-grade Hero Tavern!
【Material Requirements: Gold Ore x1000, Crystal Ore x800, Mithril x500, Prestige x200.】
【Prerequisites: Level 4 territory achieved, population 500 achieved, one Half-step Tier 5 Hero achieved!】
Xiang Yi's strength was terrifying after just one talent breakthrough from Immortal grade.
(The Panel's Supreme grade was given by baptismal blessings and should not be confused with ancestral inheritance.)
Once he recruited a Supreme-grade Hero...
Lin Yi couldn't even imagine what kind of abnormal exclusive skills they would possess.
With ample material reserves, he directly placed the phantom of the Immortal Hero Tavern next to the original tavern.
While waiting for construction.
He also surprisingly discovered that the time for troop conversion was greatly reduced; originally, a Scarlet Tassel Spearman took an hour to convert, but now, ten could be converted in an hour!
Although the Scarlet Tassel Spearman, a rare profession, could no longer keep up with the development speed.
He could obtain blueprints for military camps of other high-tier troops, and this amplification would eventually come in handy.
As for how to rapidly increase the territory's power now...
"A young dragon only costs 100 now!"
Lin Yi stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then came to the foot of Crystal Mountain.
He extended his index finger...
His expression was a little excited.
"It seems like it's been a long time since I've indulged in revenge spending. Today... I'll splurge a bit."
Then, with the speed boost of Tier 4, his fingertip turned into an afterimage—
─=≡Σ(((つ•̀ω•́)つ Da da da da da da da da!!
Under furious clicking!
One by one, young dragons refreshed from the Crystal Mountain nest, scrambling to rush out of the cave.
Before long, the nest entrance was completely blocked by the snow-white little fellows, packed so tightly that not even water could trickle through. Amidst their pushing and shoving, the young dragons squeezed to the edge of the platform hadn't even found their footing before they were pushed by their companions, rolling down the mountain like rubber balls, landing dizzy and seeing stars.
Lin Yi only stopped after recruiting a thousand young dragons in one go, costing 100,000 purple crystal coins.
"Roar!"
The startled Big White arrived at the foot of Crystal Mountain, surrounded by small young dragons, making his raised front paw hover in mid-air with nowhere to rest, fearing he might step on these little ones who hadn't grown up yet.
"Hey, hey! What do you want to do!"
Lin Yi watched the excited little creatures swarm him, his heart tightening.
Soon, after finding their target, the young dragons stretched out their claws and began climbing onto him.
"Why are you pulling my pants!"
"Damn it, you can't bite that spot!"
"You guys are going too far...."
In a moment, Lin Yi was completely submerged by the sea of young dragons, his exposed skin and cheeks covered in sticky saliva.
More young dragons were about to rush over.
At this moment—
A clanging sound echoed from the periphery.
"Little leaders, don't make trouble for the boss, it's dinner time!"
A Niu Ma captain beat a gong and drum, pointing to the beast meat freshly harvested from the secret realm behind him, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Wer! Wer! Wer!"
"Ger! Wer!!"
"......"
Upon hearing about food.
The young dragons' eyes lit up, like a swarm of hungry locusts, rushing towards the fresh beast meat in a frenzy.
"Boss, do you need a hand?"
The Niu Ma captain pulled a clean towel from his pocket, smiling deferentially, "Looks like you've got a lot of saliva on you, wipe it off to feel fresher."
"You're quite sharp." Lin Yi took the towel and wiped himself, couldn't help but look at the Niu Ma in front of him with new respect.
"Hehe, not at all!" The Niu Ma captain's cheeks flushed red after receiving the praise, and he flattered, "It's all thanks to your excellent guidance, boss. When we first arrived a few days ago, we didn't know anything. If you hadn't kindly kept us, we'd probably still be rolling around in some muddy field somewhere."
Lin Yi nodded, then asked, "By the way, you look familiar. Were you the Niu Ma leader who went hunting in the Monster Mountain Range yesterday?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The Niu Ma captain excitedly rubbed his rough hands, nodding and bowing, "That's why they say you're amazing, boss! If I'm not mistaken, I only showed my face once in front of you, and you actually remembered me!"
It's said that people who are good at flattery can thrive in the workplace.
Even though he knew the other party was exaggerating on purpose, after this string of rainbow flattery, Lin Yi not only didn't feel disgusted but felt completely refreshed and incredibly pleased!
"You're very good!"
Lin Yi repeatedly scrutinized the middle-aged man in front of him, then opened his information interface.
It was originally an unintentional act.
But upon seeing it!
He was suddenly shocked!
【Niu Ma Person】
Aptitude: Ordinary
Level: 10 ↑
Combat Power: 5 ↑
Evaluation: The most excellent humanoid slave with ordinary aptitude, extremely high work enthusiasm, and extremely high self-motivation!
Self-Advancement, Preparedness for Danger, Healthy Physique, Environmental Adaptation, Frail Physique.
Newly Added · Veteran Mentorship: Eighty percent of the work is given to newcomers. After tempering, the latter can learn an unpossessed talent from the senior. It is worth noting that seniors, to avoid "teaching the apprentice to starve the master," may have a chance of holding back.
Newly Added · Got Paid (Temporary): Received salary, Niu Ma is very happy! His combat power has increased!
.......
Dude, is this right?
Lin Yi himself was stunned. If he hid the aptitude information and posted it in the chat channel.
With these outrageous talent skills, it would have to be classified within the scope of advanced civilizations!
He was worried about how future Niu Ma would activate the Frail Physique.
After all, he couldn't make all slaves contract the Abomination gas, could he!
The emergence of Veteran Mentorship perfectly solved the talent coordination problem among the Niu Ma.
However, holding back was quite a pain!
There weren't many new talents to begin with, and if he held back, wouldn't he not want to teach anything?
"As long as the probability isn't too high."
Lin Yi muttered to himself.
The temporary boost from 'getting paid' was the key to his shock!
If he remembered correctly.
These Niu Ma had an average attribute of only 3, like Level 6 or 7.
Now.
Just giving them some rewards for collecting materials last night had nearly doubled their attributes!
If he gave them more, wouldn't they reach the heavens?
As expected of top-tier Niu Ma!
"What's your name?" Lin Yi asked.
"Hehe, I don't have a name yet, boss. If you don't mind, could you bestow a name upon this humble one?" The Niu Ma captain looked at him with some hope.
