152: Chapter 152 The City Lord's Hall Begins Upgrading!
Xu Qin looked at the name column.
"Shattered Rock Floating Land? That sounds awful."
He touched his chin and thought about it.
This place was the first plot of land in the high-tier plane.
"My territory will have no boundaries, so let's call it the Boundless Territory."
[Naming successful!]
[Boundless Territory has been established.]
As soon as the name was confirmed.
A faint scraping sound came from the ground.
Xu Qin raised his head and looked outside the Watchtower.
Several of the debris floating in the void around them were approaching.
At first, they moved very slowly.
Before long, the speed became faster and faster.
A piece of debris over a dozen meters in diameter brushed against the edge of the floating land.
There was no collision prompt.
The rock layers on both sides merged directly.
[Boundless Territory absorbs unowned debris × 1.]
[Territory area + 0.03 square kilometers.]
Another piece.
[Territory area + 0.05 square kilometers.]
Xu Qin stood up and walked to the edge of the Watchtower.
The debris approached one after another.
Some carried exposed mineral veins.
Some had dark red mossy plants growing on their surfaces.
As soon as another piece of debris attached itself, a resource mark popped up on the regional map.
[Discovery: Low-tier Magic Crystal Mine.]
Xu Qin stared at the mark.
It had just been occupied, and a mine was delivered right to his doorstep?
The way resources were acquired in the high-tier plane was even more direct than expected.
[Boundless Territory absorbs unowned debris × 1.]
[Territory area + 0.04 square kilometers.]
[Discovery: Low-tier Magic Crystal Mine.]
[Discovery: Dark Red Moss Cluster.]
[Discovery: High-tier Magic Iron Vein.]
Prompts popped up on the interface one after another.
Xu Qin stood on the Watchtower, staring at the regional map.
The Shattered Rock Floating Land, which originally was just over two square kilometers,
now had quite a few new plots of land on its edges.
After those floating debris attached themselves,
the system directly incorporated them into the land area.
"This is much easier than snatching territory everywhere~"
Xu Qin said with his hands behind his head,
"I just need to fight brainlessly."
He just needed to seize the first plot of land and wait for it to grow slowly on its own.
Xu Qin immediately opened the command panel and began issuing orders.
"Troglodytes go down the city, divide into teams to mine."
"Three thousand people go to the low-tier magic crystal mine."
"One thousand people mine high-tier magic iron."
"The rest handle the moss."
The order spread.
The bone gate opened.
Teams of Troglodytes carrying Bone Transport Carts walked down from the Combat Readiness Platform and dispersed toward the resource points.
Xu Qin did not let the Floating City land.
The city stayed three hundred meters above the Boundless Territory, maintaining a low-speed cruise.
The one thousand floating bone whistles also dispersed again.
Then.
"Chuan Yun."
"Tietang."
The two heroes walked to the edge of the platform.
"Master."
Xu Qin pointed to the outer periphery of the Boundless Territory.
"Take the archers and Musketeers up the rock ridge."
"Spread out, don't all crowd in one place. As long as you find monsters invading, attack directly."
"Yes."
Chuan Yun took six thousand Elf Archers down.
Tietang led four thousand Musketeers to the other side.
The floating land terrain of the high-tier plane was chaotic, and there were many height differences on the edges.
Ranged Troops occupying high points could save a lot of trouble.
Xu Qin looked at the receding army and nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad, after the Hall of Valor reached level 10, the intelligence of these low-tier heroes was finally awakened.
Next was the melee troops.
Minotaur led three thousand Undead Minotaurs to guard the west side.
Blade Guard led the Bone Beasts to guard the north side.
Sand Jackal led the Sand Jackal squads to patrol everywhere.
These big guys lay on the ground, motionless from afar, but actually they were all staring at the void outside the territory.
Whoever dared to land would have to take a couple of slaps first.
After reviewing the deployment, Xu Qin turned to look at Tian Ming.
"You lead Dragon Bone and Python Emperor to continue farming the guardians."
"Ore Spirit, soul energy, experience, I want all of them."
Tian Ming lowered his head.
"As you command, Master."
Dragon Bone and Python Emperor followed Tian Ming down the Combat Readiness Platform.
...
Half an hour later.
The first batch of ores was delivered to the Combat Readiness Platform.
Troglodytes piled pieces of dark purple crystal ores on the ground.
[Low-tier Magic Crystal Mine]
[Quality: Rare]
[Description: Common magic energy ore in the high-tier plane, can be used for magic buildings, shield charging, and magic energy equipment forging. Ten units of low-tier magic crystal ore can be synthesized into one unit of high-tier magic crystal ore.]
Xu Qin picked up a piece of ore.
As soon as his palm touched it, a new prompt popped up on the command panel.
[Refinable magic energy resources detected.]
[Whether to enable "Magic Crystal Synthesis"?]
"Enable."
Inside the Forging Area, the myriad race spirit furnace lit up automatically.
Ten pieces of low-tier magic crystal ore were teleported inside.
The furnace operated for ten seconds.
[Obtained: High-tier Magic Crystal Mine × 1.]
Xu Qin clicked on the description of the high-tier magic crystal mine again.
[High-tier Magic Crystal Mine]
[Can undergo magic energy refinement.]
[Refinement requirement: High-tier Magic Crystal Mine × 100.]
[Output: High-tier Magic Energy Crystal × 1.]
After reading, Xu Qin let out a long breath.
Very good, the materials for upgrading the Lords Hall to level 11 were finally complete.
Originally, he thought he would have to look everywhere for elite monsters in the high-tier plane.
Now it seemed that the mine points in the high-tier world could produce them directly.
Although it was a bit slow, fortunately he had many troops.
Moreover, the mineral veins could continuously increase.
"In this case, I can develop with peace of mind for a period of time."
He looked at the dark red moss again.
[Dark Red Moss]
[Quality: Rare]
[Description: A special plant that grows by absorbing environmental magic energy, which can replace wood as a building material. After use, the building gains weak magic energy compatibility.]
[Additional effect: When used for upgrading Floating City buildings, it can slightly increase building durability, magic energy resistance, and energy transmission efficiency.]
Looking at the high-tier magic iron ore again.
[High-tier Magic Iron Ore]
[Quality: Epic]
[Description: Metal ore containing stable magic energy. Can replace ordinary iron ore for weapons, city defense, and module modification.]
[When used for Floating City modification, there is a probability of increasing module quality.]
"Not as good as Ore Spirit."
Looking at the description, Xu Qin was a bit disdainful.
He had Ore Spirit in his hands, wasn't that better than this?
However, there was no rush now.
Get the high-tier magic energy crystals first.
One day later.
Sitting inside the Lords Hall, Xu Qin opened the treasury.
[High-tier Magic Energy Crystal: 136]
Fifty high-tier magic energy crystals were gathered.
"Upgrade."
Hum!
Inside the Lords Hall, a white light suddenly lit up.
[Whether to upgrade the Lords Hall to level 11?]
"Confirm."
[Consumed resources have been deducted.]
[Lords Hall begins upgrading!]
[Upgrade time: 360 hours.]
[Can use "soul energy Infusion · Acceleration".]
Xu Qin did not hesitate.
"Infuse."
[This infusion consumes soul energy × 32400000.]
[Remaining upgrade time: 36 hours.]
