165: Chapter 165 First-Level Star Lord Online

Xu Qin opened his inventory and clicked on that dark golden treasure chest.

[Do you want to open the Undead Relic Box (Dark Gold)?]

"Open."

Ding!

A dark golden light burst open, and a fist-sized bone sphere materialized in front of him.

The surface of the sphere was covered in runes,

and a grayish-white cyclone was slowly rotating inside it.

[Congratulations! You have obtained: Wraith Sprint (Command Skill Stone · Epic)]

[Type: Lord Command Skill]

[Effect: After activation, the designated troops gain the "Wraith Sprint" buff, Movement Speed +80%, Flight Speed +80%, lasting for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 180 seconds.]

[Scope of Application: All organized troops within the command panel.]

[Usage Method: The lord casts it on designated troop units through the command panel.]

After reading the skill description, Xu Qin's eyes widened!

Goodness gracious, a speed hack has arrived!

You must know that the Bone Dragon's movement speed was already fast, if 80% speed was added on top of that...

Wouldn't that be a fucking missile?

And this skill was usable by all troop types.

Turning this on during the Iron Rhinoceros Charge directly doubles the Charge distance and impact force.

Xu Qin directly clicked [Learn].

Hum!

The bone sphere shattered, and the grayish-white cyclone surged into Xu Qin's body.

Ding!

[Command skill "Wraith Sprint" has been learned!]

Xu Qin opened his skill bar and looked at this skill.

"If this skill is used in conjunction with the dragon bones, the difficulty will be reduced a lot, and we can just directly launch a decapitation strike."

Just by thinking about it, Xu Qin already had a picture of it in his mind.

"Hurry up and bring an opponent to fight..."

Thinking this, he stood up, preparing to go to the Combat Readiness Platform.

Suddenly,

Beep!

The command panel suddenly popped up with a full-screen prompt.

Ding!

[Detected that the total area of the territory "Boundless Domain" has exceeded 500 square kilometers!]

[High-tier plane rule triggered: Star Lord Certification!]

[Congratulations! You have been promoted to a Level 1 Star Lord!]

[Star Lord Level Description: In high-tier planes, territory area is the core standard for measuring a lord's strength. Every time the area breaks through a stage, the Star Lord level increases by one.]

[Level Division:]

[Level 1: 500 square kilometers]

[Level 2: 2,000 square kilometers]

[Level 3: 8,000 square kilometers]

[...]

[Level 10: Build a complete planet (Area ≥ 500 million square kilometers)]

[Star Lord Channel has been opened for you.]

Xu Qin stared at the panel, reading the level table from beginning to end.

Level 10 Star Lord, 500 million square kilometers?

Earth's surface area is only 510 million.

"So the ultimate goal of this thing is... to build a planet?"

Xu Qin scratched his head and clicked on the Star Lord channel.

The channel interface popped up.

Unlike the Human Channel, the names here all had level suffixes attached to them.

There weren't many messages in the channel, but the moment he entered, the conversation suddenly became dense.

Walker · Level 3 Star Lord: ？ A new Star Lord?

Solma · Level 2 Star Lord: Could Aisela be dead?

Walker · Level 3 Star Lord: Judging from the prompt message just now, the one who died should be it.

Walker · Level 3 Star Lord: It seems her territory has already become another Star Lord's. The key is, who did it?

Gelwin · Level 2 Star Lord: Someone capable of defeating Aisela should be a Level 2 Star Lord, right? Her aerial troops are extremely strong.

Solma · Level 2 Star Lord: No, no, no, Aisela told me before that she had set her sights on a third-rate new lord, preparing to swallow them up to expand her territory. As a result, she's gone herself?

Gelwin · Level 2 Star Lord: Level 1? She was taken down by a third-rate Star Lord?

Walker · Level 3 Star Lord: Hhahahaha, I knew Aisela was going to die sooner or later. Her troop types have too many drawbacks. If she had met me, she would have died long ago.

Looking at the chat history, Xu Qin was in no rush to speak.

He first flipped through the historical messages in the channel.

There weren't many online Star Lords, probably around twenty.

The highest was a Level 5 Star Lord named "Cas".

"Holy shit, this name has some background."

Xu Qin continued to scroll down.

Most of them were Level 2 and Level 3.

Aside from him, there were three other Level 1 Star Lords.

Solma · Level 2 Star Lord: @Xu Qin, newcomer, what race are you?

Looking at the above statements, Xu Qin had a change of thought.

Xu Qin · Level 1 Star Lord: Won't you know when we meet?

Solma · Level 2 Star Lord: Oh my? Such a big tone! Are all new Star Lords this arrogant?

The channel instantly became lively.

Gelwin · Level 2 Star Lord: A third-rate Star Lord being able to directly take down Level 1 Aisela shows that her strength is very strong.

Walker · Level 3 Star Lord: Interesting. Aisela had seventy to eighty thousand air force troops, yet she was wiped out by a third-rate Star Lord? Truly miraculous.

Solma · Level 2 Star Lord: She had way more than seventy thousand. She told me before that she had just swallowed a piece of land, at least one hundred thousand.

Gelwin · Level 2 Star Lord: ...

Seeing this, Xu Qin stroked his chin in thought.

One hundred thousand air force troops?

But the result was he didn't face that many.

It seemed the territory scramble triggered too suddenly, leading to a severe shortage of available troops and no time to recruit.

Xu Qin continued typing.

Xu Qin · Level 1 Star Lord: Let me ask a question, what's after Level 10 Star Lord?

Solma · Level 2 Star Lord: Level 1, isn't it a bit too early for you to consider these things now?

Xu Qin · Level 1 Star Lord: You always have to have a goal.

Walker · Level 3 Star Lord: Of course it's clearing the game.

Xu Qin · Level 1 Star Lord: What does clearing the game mean?

Solma · Level 2 Star Lord: As long as you can build a complete planet, you won't have to fight anymore. That planet will belong to you, and from then on you will become a supreme Star Lord with endless life.

Gelwin · Level 2 Star Lord: The premise is that you can live until then. Before that, every territory scramble is a fight to the death.

Xu Qin · Level 1 Star Lord: Isn't there a submission option?

Walker · Level 3 Star Lord: Submission? If you submit, you are no longer a Star Lord. You will become the other party's subordinate, and you want to turn things around? No chance.

Solma · Level 2 Star Lord: Besides, after submitting, your territory directly merges into the other party's. There's no difference from dying.

Xu Qin · Level 1 Star Lord: Okay, thanks for the explanation.

Walker · Level 3 Star Lord: You're welcome, because no one knows if they will still be here tomorrow.

Looking at the chat history, Xu Qin thoughtfully pondered.

The purpose of Infinite Hegemony is to build planets?

"If I become a Star Lord, the planet I build won't be an undead planet..."

A planet full of skeletons and tombstones surfaced in Xu Qin's mind.

"Yuck~ That's way too eerie."

He shook his head and asked a few more questions.

For example, whether continental drift speed can be controlled, whether there is an alliance mechanism, and roughly what level of combat power Level 3 and above possess.

Unexpectedly, these veteran Star Lords didn't hide anything at all, telling him whatever he asked.

Chatting like this for about ten minutes, Xu Qin had basically figured out the situation of the Star Lords.

Continental drift speed is related to area,

the larger the area, the stronger the inertia,

but the trajectory can be fine-tuned by building "Directional Anchors".

Most Star Lords had this thing.

This thing wasn't urgent; as the land grew larger and larger, it could always be picked up in the stellar void.

Secondly, there was no such thing as an alliance between Star Lords.

The rules here were only one, which was mutual annexation.

Therefore, Star Lords had no interest in establishing any friendship.

Perhaps the next time they would become life-and-death opponents, so there was no need to consider those things.

As for the regular military strength of Level 3 Star Lords, it was generally over one million.

Because the territory of Level 3 Star Lords was very large, modifications could already be carried out on it.

Xu Qin closed the channel and looked at the outside world.

"One million? Actually, it's reasonable. As long as one's original world can continuously provide a source of troops, it can be achieved."
