Ye Yun did not hesitate, unleashing his ultimate attack, once again reaping a large bounty and acquiring over nine million spirit stones, not to mention countless other materials. Ye Yun's level successfully increased to 52.
The higher the level, the more difficult it becomes to level up. Previously, a three-thousand-kilometer radius could grant him three levels at once, but now, a million-kilometer radius only grants one level. If he didn't have the skill 'Fire Refines the World,' considering Ye Yun's need for a hundred times more experience than others to level up, how long would it take him?
On the New Mortal Continent, during the sixty-eighth cycle, nearly a million players had just resurrected and re-entered the New Mortal Continent. After witnessing the raging fires, they were plunged into suffering once more.
In the sea of suffering, not even a word could be spoken; there was no choice but to idle. To be trapped in here for fifteen days right at the start had already caused many players to erupt in anger in the real world. However, there was nothing they could do about it. The first universe had already begun searching for the entrance to the tenth universe, but there was still no news.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun was already sitting in his mansion, looking at over ten million points and letting out a sigh of relief. As expected, it was all about timing. This harvest had already surpassed the more than five million points from the previous round.
"Yun Tian City Information: This territory has ranked first in the New Mortal Continent's 67th phase. The territory has 600 citizens. According to the settlement agreement, the City Lord receives 50% of all spirit stone rewards from citizens. Congratulations to City Lord 'Jie Ming' for receiving 1.5 million spirit stones."
Just as Ye Yun was about to upgrade his territory, a prompt sounded, and some spirit stones were added to Ye Yun's inventory. 1.5 million spirit stones is equivalent to 150 million gold coins. For Ye Yun's current assets, it was but a drop in the bucket.
This time, Ye Yun harvested over 15,000 Tuo Yun Orders. It seemed like a lot, but it wasn't enough to upgrade all existing buildings by one level.
Without much thought, Ye Yun spent 11,200 Tuo Yun Orders to upgrade his territory to level eight. Although the territory's area remained three square kilometers, the capacity for residents increased to 1680 people. At least his six hundred subordinates wouldn't have to sleep in tents outside the city.
Looking at the remaining four thousand-plus Tuo Yun Orders, Ye Yun directly spent 1,000 Tuo Yun Orders to expand the territory's area ten times, reaching 13 square kilometers. Feeling it was sufficient, Ye Yun then reviewed the buildings he had yet to construct.
Watchtower, no need. With the Italian cannons, no watchtower could compare. They could attack from a hundred kilometers away.
Level 1 Medical Hall, saving lives and healing the injured, doubling the recovery speed of citizens and guards within the city? This could be useful. Not useful now doesn't mean it won't be useful later. It only costs 100 Tuo Yun Orders.
Level 1 Ranch, no need.
Level 1 Rapid Cultivation Tower, increasing the attack speed of citizens within a hundred-kilometer radius by 10%. For only 50 Tuo Yun Orders? Build it!
Ye Yun went through them one by one, examining them with extreme care. The buildings that could be constructed were a wide variety. Suddenly, Ye Yun's gaze fell upon a special building. This building caught Ye Yun's attention entirely because it was formed from one or two clumps of black and white energy, with no specific shape, appearing like a wisp of smoke.
Level 1 Myriad Store (City Lord Exclusive) - This store is a special building within 'Heaven's Dao.' The goods in the store are randomly supplied by 'Heaven's Dao.' A Level 1 store has five display windows. The City Lord can purchase one item from this store per cycle. Other items will disappear, and the City Lord must wait for the next cycle to make another purchase. Store refresh rate: 15 days. Store cost: 3500 Tuo Yun Orders. Upgrade to Level 2 requirement: 10,000 Myriad Stones, 500 Tuo Yun Orders.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yun chose to build it without any hesitation!
Having experienced so much, Ye Yun knew that anything with the word 'exclusive' in this game was never bad! Therefore, Ye Yun directly upgraded this store to Level 2.
The Level 2 Myriad Store increased its display windows to 10, and the number of items the City Lord could purchase became two. The overall changes were not significant.
Afterward, Ye Yun spent over 40,000 Myriad Stones to upgrade all existing buildings to Level 8.
Level 8 Territory - Area: 13 square kilometers. Capacity: 1680 players or pets.
Level 8 Mansion - Can monitor the dynamics of creatures within a five-thousand-kilometer radius (including invisible creatures). This function is directly reflected on the City Lord's map.
Level 8 City Wall - Can withstand ten full-power attacks from Level 8 Flood Beasts. Current durability: 64000/64000.
Level 8 Territory Warehouse - Can store 64 types of materials, with a maximum quantity of 6400 for each type.
Level 8 City Guard Tower - Can recruit eighty guards to protect the player's territory and kill invading enemies!
Level 8 Medical Hall - Saves lives and heals the injured. Recovery speed of citizens and guards within the city +800%.
Level 8 Rapid Cultivation Tower - Increases the attack speed of citizens within a 100-mile radius of the city by 35%.
Level 8 Energy Tower - Increases the defense attributes of citizens within a 100-mile radius of the city by 35%.
Level 8 Cloud Field - Increases Tuo Yun Orders by eight daily…
*Sigh*
"If this can still be conquered by someone else, I'll be impressed. But... the storage capacity of this warehouse is still too low. Even if it's all filled with spirit stones, it's only a little over 400,000." Ye Yun complained about the system's design where auxiliary buildings cannot exceed the territory level, but he was also quite helpless, as it wasn't targeted at him alone.
Thinking this, Ye Yun walked directly to the side courtyard of the mansion. The Myriad Store, being exclusive to the City Lord, was built directly within Ye Yun's mansion.
"Welcome, City Lord. What do you require?"
As soon as Ye Yun turned to enter the side courtyard, he heard a clear, melodious female voice. Then, a woman in a plain robe walked towards Ye Yun with light steps and bowed slightly.
"What the— When did someone else get into my mansion?"
Ye Yun looked at the beautiful woman before him, a sense of shock washing over him. Moreover, this woman had directly asserted her ownership of this side courtyard to Ye Yun.
"Who are you..."
"Replying to the City Lord, I am the shopkeeper of the Myriad Store. If the City Lord wishes to purchase anything from the Myriad Store, please tell me. Also, if the City Lord has any specific needs, you can tell me in advance, and I will do my best to acquire the items the City Lord requires in the next cycle."
The woman looked at Ye Yun and smiled charmingly. Although her words were respectful, there was no trace of deference in her eyes.
"That's not right. I remember this store is just a smoky architectural structure, how can it have a person?" Ye Yun was bewildered.
"Perhaps some opportunity was triggered, causing a change. In the future, the City Lord can call me Xiao Tian." The woman waved her right hand gently, leading Ye Yun towards the wisp of smoke, which was the actual store.
"System Prompt: Congratulations to player for triggering good fortune upon upgrading the Myriad Store to Level 2. The system rewards the player with a dedicated NPC for this store."
…
Ye Yun looked at the beautiful woman beside him, feeling that something was not quite right.
