195: Star Alliance

For two consecutive months, Li Feng was in a tight state, almost racing against time, during the Novice Trial and the Awakening Land.

This almost led Li Feng to believe that the Lord's world should be like this.

But ever since returning to his territory, everything gradually settled down.

Unconsciously, three months passed by.

During this period, nothing major happened, at least not in Li Feng's intelligence reports.

Over the past three months, Li Feng's life had been quite ordinary.

He usually stayed in his castle, while his heroes led their Troops, divided into teams, to explore in all directions.

Now, the number of heroes under his command had exceeded 200.

This was the advantage of having a tavern building.

Even the lowest-quality common-grade tavern was a good thing that countless Lords would covet.

Not to mention, the Crimson Tavern in Li Feng's hands was a top-tier Mythical-grade one.

Even Laka, who had once followed a True God, couldn't help but exclaim at Li Feng's good fortune upon seeing the Crimson Tavern.

According to him, even some True God Lords with less accumulated heritage might not possess a Mythical-grade tavern.

What Li Feng found regrettable, however, was that almost all the newly recruited Lords were common-grade and elite-grade heroes; there were only three Legendary-grade heroes, and not a single Epic-grade or Mythical-grade hero.

With more heroes, there were naturally more exploration teams.

Coupled with the fact that this was a new area, while Li Feng hadn't discovered any precious resource zones, he had found over ten thousand scattered common resource points!

If he were to fully exploit them, Li Feng would gain at least one billion units of resources.

This was already equivalent to the resources distributed by the Dragon Kingdom and the Western Alliance nations during a single exchange meeting.

For these two behemoths, this amount of resources was insignificant.

But for an individual like Li Feng, it was a colossal amount of resources.

With so many resource points, some with less abundant mineral deposits could be harvested in a short time.

However, some rich mineral deposits would take even a million Beedrills several months to mine.

Therefore, Li Feng simply couldn't attend to so many resource points.

He chose another method: outsourcing.

Three days after upgrading his castle to a top-tier castle, Li Feng dispatched several envoy teams to 'invite' all the Lords within his territory to his castle.

Among the hundreds of Lords, Li Feng recognized more than half of them.

This included Sun Yun and Wang Chen, who were the most dazzling figures at the Awakening Ceremony, both among the hundreds present.

Sun Yun was fine; she was a gentle girl. Even after becoming a Chosen One and possessing great power during the Novice Trial, she never actively attacked or eliminated any Lord.

Facing Li Feng's domineering proposal of allegiance, Sun Yun took the lead in choosing to submit.

What surprised Li Feng was that Wang Chen, who had a past grievance with him during the Novice Trial, also readily chose to submit to him.

Little did Li Feng know that after seeing him being vied for by major powers and entering the top ten of the World Prodigy List, Wang Chen had been restless, unable to eat or sleep.

He had always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Li Feng, but at that time, Li Feng only had Fang Song as a friend, and Wang Chen had tried every possible method but failed to contact Li Feng.

Now that Lord Li Feng was magnanimous and unwilling to dwell on past grievances, Wang Chen was overjoyed and naturally wouldn't choose to be a troublemaker.

With these two taking the lead, the others didn't hesitate either and all chose to submit to Li Feng.

After all, they were classmates, and they were also very sensible, not forcing Li Feng to take drastic measures.

So, Li Feng didn't treat them poorly. He immediately waved his hand and gifted each of them a seventh-tier Hercules Vajra Ant.

As his secondary source Troops, the Hercules Vajra Ant only required 1 gold coin to summon.

Considering the Mirror Replication talent, that would be 0.1 gold coins.

Paying a few dozen gold coins was merely a drop in the bucket for Li Feng.

For Li Feng, seventh-tier Troops were nothing special.

But for Sun Yun and the others, they were incredibly precious.

Among them, many didn't even have Troops above the fourth tier.

After entering the Endless Continent, they had been living a miserable life, with very few resources in hand.

Near their territories, there were still many powerful monster groups that they considered formidable, and they lived in constant fear, afraid of being discovered by these monster groups.

In the Endless Continent, such low-level Lords were the norm.

Many low-level Lords, even if they survived the Novice Trial, lived in great hardship and could be expelled from the Endless Continent at any time, reverting to ordinary people.

Now, Li Feng had actually gifted them a seventh-tier Troop, which was no different from a windfall.

With this Hercules Vajra Ant, they could easily defeat the surrounding monster groups and explore the nearby areas without restraint, thereby escaping their current awkward situation.

In the future, their lives would become increasingly comfortable. Becoming a god was something they dared not imagine, but becoming a backbone force of the Dragon Kingdom was certainly something they could strive for.

Afterward, Li Feng created a group chat and added everyone present to it.

The group chat's name was 'Star Universe', which was also the name Li Feng had envisioned for this alliance.

The alliance's name also represented his ambition.

His goal was not merely the vast stars and seas, but the entire cosmic starry sky!

Then, he set the contribution point rules, which he had conceived over several nights, as a group announcement, allowing everyone to view them freely.

"Classmates, I'm very grateful that you are willing to follow me. As long as you can accumulate a certain amount of contribution points, you can exchange them for seventh-tier Troops with me. In the future, even eighth- and ninth-tier Troops will not be a dream."

Li Feng said with a smile from the main seat of the castle hall.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Even for top-tier Lords, seventh-tier Troops were considered a core force and were almost never sold or exchanged.

Even if they were, the usual price was frighteningly high, at least ten times the cost.

But everyone present quickly checked Li Feng's contribution point rules and immediately became ecstatic.

There were many ways to earn contribution points; the conventional ones were exchanging them with resources or gold coins.

Everyone calculated that they would only need to pay roughly double the price to exchange for Troops.

For example, a first-tier Troop, with a summoning cost of 1 gold coin, would require them to spend contribution points equivalent to 2 gold coins to exchange.

A normal seventh-tier Troop, with a summoning cost of 5000 gold coins, would require contribution points equivalent to 10,000 gold coins for exchange.

Furthermore, all first- to seventh-tier Troops could be exchanged without limit.

As long as you had enough contribution points, you could exchange them.

"Boss Li Feng, can we really exchange without limit? What if I accumulate enough contribution points, but you can't provide the Troops?"

Just then, a girl with glasses and twin ponytails suppressed her excitement and asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Li Feng, their gazes full of inquiry.

The reason why seventh-tier Troops on the market were almost always sold at ten times their cost was not only because Troop blueprints were difficult to obtain, but also because the ten-day cooldown was a major problem.

The twin-ponytail girl had considered this issue first, which prompted her question.

"I solemnly promise here that as long as you can provide contribution points, I can provide Troops. However, I must emphasize one point: you cannot choose the type of Troops; you must take whatever I give you."

Li Feng said loudly, his words resonating clearly...
