Note: This auxiliary Skill only applies to heavy artillery weapons.]

"Cannon!" Su Lie uttered a single word upon seeing this.

The boosts he had previously obtained were all related to firearms.

Now, this Skill was related to artillery, specifically heavy artillery weapons.

This caused raging flames to ignite in Su Lie's eyes.

"Does my great general thunder dragon cannon count as heavy artillery?" Su Lie pondered this question.

He immediately teleported to an empty area in the Guard Zone where there were no Vassals.

He walked towards the cannon position in the assault area.

When he tried to use the Artilleryman auxiliary Skill on the great general thunder dragon cannon:

[Buzz!]

This cannon does not belong to the heavy artillery category! The auxiliary Skill Artilleryman cannot be used on it!

[Note: The only way to determine if a weapon is heavy artillery is if its attribute panel is marked as 'Heavy Artillery'.]

"Uh! That is indeed the case!" Su Lie immediately stopped thinking about using Artilleryman.

At this moment, he looked at the time on the mist clock.

He saw that it was three minutes before 14:00.

Only then did Su Lie conclude the task mandated by the Mist Main World for the day: [Complete the mist sacrificial altar task at least once].

[Buzz!]

Congratulations on successfully completing the task mandated by the Mist Main World...!

You completed the mist sacrificial altar task 9 times today!

[According to statistics, you are the one who completed the mist sacrificial altar task the most times in the current Mist Main World!]

Therefore, you are specially rewarded with the title: Task Maniac!]

[Task Maniac: Rule Title.

Since you completed the mist sacrificial altar task the most times within the specified period, you have obtained the title Task Maniac.

Boost: All tasks you receive will gain a double reward effect.]

"Good! This is the fifth title I've obtained!" Su Lie nodded.

The boost brought by this title was truly unexpected.

When he saw this title, he had thought he would be able to accept more tasks!

Immediately after, another reward notification appeared in his line of sight.

[Congratulations, your territory has gained: 18 million Mist Points (9 million points multiplied by 2); 18 million Mist Guild Contribution Points (9 million points multiplied by 2); 180,000 vassal recruitment scrolls (90,000 multiplied by 2); and 1.8 million experience points (900,000 points multiplied by 2).]

[Note: The current reward has been boosted by the double task reward effect of the Task Maniac title!]

[Note: The rewards you currently receive can be distributed to the territory's Vassals or servants.]

Su Lie's eyes lit up after reading this: "Calculating based on this, it seems I gain 1 million Mist Points, 1 million Contribution Points, 10,000 vassal recruitment scrolls, and 100,000 experience points for every task completed."

"Haha! The mist rule is indeed generous!" He laughed and gave a thumbs up.

Subsequently, Su Lie first pocketed the Mist Points and Mist Contribution Points, and stored the vassal recruitment scrolls in the warehouse.

This brought his Mist Points to 35,602 trillion, 336.61412 billion, and 70.

His Guild Contribution Points reached 100,101 trillion, 501.018 billion.

The vassal recruitment scrolls in the territory warehouse reached 10,473,245 scrolls.

As for the remaining experience points, he planned to reward them to his Vassals so that his faction could gain another Second-Turn Professional.

Su Lie's gaze fell upon the nine Vassals he had initially recruited.

Among them, Wang Dalong, Berber, Wu Xiu, Luo Xu, Zhang Lin, and Ling Xu did not have strong combat power.

Mi Li, Lin Xi, and Qi Miaomiao had higher combat power than the other six.

Among these three, Qi Miaomiao relied on the vajra barbie puppet from her Puppeteer class, Mi Li relied on her own combat experience supplemented by her class, and Lin Xi relied on his Deadly Poison Master class.

Lin Xi was the strongest among them from the beginning.

Although he had now become a Vampire and acquired significant drawbacks, Lin Xi was still the strongest Vassal in the territory in terms of combat power and the most experienced in battle.

Su Lie immediately called Lin Xi over to him.

When Lin Xi saw Su Lie, he eagerly said, "Lord! Are you looking for me to give me experience points?"

"How did you know? Do you have Mind Reading?" Su Lie asked in surprise. "Wait, no!"

"Hehe! The title Task Maniac you just acquired, along with the related rewards, has already been announced server-wide on the world channel!"

Lin Xi smiled shrewdly and stated the truth: "You are now the sole hope for all Survivors in our Mist Main World plane!"

"Because of your task completion this time!"

"Our recruitment team has received more than ten times the number of applications from new Vassals seeking to join than before!"

"Everyone just made a rough estimate, and this time, at least 500 million Survivors have sent us their profiles!"

"We are also enjoying the effect of having everyone respond to a single call, just like you!"

"Therefore, I guessed you were looking for me because..." He finished his speculation.

He couldn't help but sigh again: "It's a pity! You disappeared from the Mist Points ranking and the level ranking after the Second Turn! Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten the previous reward! Hehe!"

At this point, he couldn't help but feel proud.

In the group, he was referred to as Su Lie the Second.

He was happy to receive such an honor.

However, he also knew that he could never surpass Su Lie in his lifetime, because everything he had came from Su Lie.

Su Lie laughed: "I'll give you 1.8 million experience points! How many levels can you gain?"

"Don't do that! My dear father! If you really give me 1.8 million experience points, I'll overshoot the limit! I'll never be able to become a Second-Turn Professional!"

Lin Xi suddenly became nervous, and he hurriedly pleaded, "I've been constantly raiding the Blood Secret Realm during this time and have already leveled up to Level 48.

I only need 400,000 experience points to reach Level 50! Any more and I'll become a rogue cultivator!"

Su Lie's gaze shifted upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected Lin Xi to level up directly from Level 41 to Level 48 just by raiding the Blood Secret Realm.

Clearly, Lin Xi had gained a lot.

"Hmm? How is your progress in the Blood Secret Realm?" He asked, looking at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "I have successfully infiltrated the Vampire clan! I managed to use Disguise to replace a Vampire guard! I also used the Bewitchment Talent to bewitch a Vampire Marquis!"

He briefly described his experience in the Blood Secret Realm.

He was now considered a Vampire with a fiefdom and official status there.

The reason he was able to level up so quickly was that he had become a blade for the Vampire Marquis.

And his direct Vampire Marquis was a blade under a certain Vampire Prince in the capital...

Su Lie nodded after hearing this: "Good! Good! Good! After you complete the Second Class Change task and successfully advance to a Second-Turn Professional!

I will freely reward you with all the Talents, Skills, and bloodline expansion potions in the warehouse that you don't already possess!"

"Really?" Lin Xi was stunned and quickly asked.

Su Lie laughed heartily: "A gentleman's word is his bond! If my words didn't count, how would I be qualified to be this Lord!"

Bang! Lin Xi immediately knelt on the ground: "Thank you, adoptive father, for the sports cars and rockets!"

"You need to think carefully..." Su Lie told Lin Xi the relevant information about the Second Turn Class Change task.

Lin Xi nodded repeatedly after listening: "I have already made up my mind!"

"Good!" Only then did Su Lie allocate 400,000 experience points from the 1.8 million points and reward them to Lin Xi.

Buzz!

In an instant, Lin Xi leveled up from Level 48 to Level 50.

He saw a notification from the mist rule.

After completion, Lin Xi excitedly said to Su Lie: "Lord! The mist rule notified me that as long as I successfully become a Second-Turn Professional, I can accept your conferment and become a minor lord in your territory!"

"Of course, this territory doesn't refer to our Mist Production and Construction Corps territory, but the territory that the mist rule rewards you in the Mist Main World after you advance to a Mist Baron!"

He quickly relayed the information he had seen: "Furthermore, I also have the qualifications to recruit subjects! The subjects can be alien races or Survivors!"

"The difference between them and us Vassals is that the subjects can never Class Change or obtain divine abilities!"

Su Lie's eyes brightened upon hearing this: "This is great! I was just wondering who to hand over the management of the future constructed cities to!

If you have such qualifications, I will naturally arrange for you to go there!"

He possessed a city construction blueprint that allowed him to build a city, but he could only use it after becoming a Mist Baron.

Su Lie had considered assigning Su Liya and the others to manage the cities, but he later considered that these cities would eventually be flooded with more Mist Survivors.

Su Liya and the others managing the cities in the capacity of pets might cause some issues.

Conversely, Vassals like Lin Xi, who are also Survivors, have an innate advantage over Su Liya and the others when dealing with interpersonal relationships and other matters among Survivors.

Subsequently, Su Lie called Mi Li over.

To his surprise, Mi Li had already leveled up to Level 49, needing only 30,000 experience points to reach Level 50.

Su Lie allocated 30,000 experience points from the remaining 1.4 million points to Mi Li.

When Mi Li also reached Level 50, she received the same notification as Lin Xi.

She told Su Lie what she had seen.

Su Lie looked thoughtful after hearing this: "It seems that after Vassals advance to Second-Turn Professionals, their authority and scope of activity will be much broader!"

"Doesn't this mean... that below the Marquis rank, one can command a large number of Survivors with the Mist Baron title?"

"If I advance to a Mist Baron, will I also become subordinate to a certain Marquis?"

He felt that this was highly possible.

Subsequently, Su Lie looked at Mi Li and Lin Xi: "I still have 1.37 million experience points left! Do you have any recommendations?"

"For management, I recommend Wu Xiu! For combat, I recommend Qi Miaomiao!

However, her level is relatively low, and your current experience points are probably not enough to raise her to Level 50!"

Lin Xi thought for a moment and gave two names.

Mi Li nodded: "My recommendation is Wu Xiu! Although he is a pharmacist, he has the Master Designer Talent, and coupled with the firearms you refine, he is definitely a powerful long-range fire support Talent!"

"Moreover, he likes to plan before acting, has high intelligence, excellent insight, and is better than others at handling social situations!"

"Qi Miaomiao is a bit flighty and highly emotional! Her vajra barbie is indeed a weapon for group battles or unfavorable situations, but she has been eating and sleeping this whole time and hasn't gone leveling up!"

Saying this, she shook her head with regret.

Su Lie pondered for a moment and decided to reward the experience points to Wu Xiu.

The main reason was related to what Lin Xi and Mi Li said.

The second reason was that Wu Xiu could reach Level 50 after receiving these experience points.

This way, Su Lie would have three Second-Turn Professionals under his command, provided they could all pass the Class Change task.

Before long, Wu Xiu received Su Lie's message and quickly came to Su Lie's side.

After some discussion, Su Lie learned that Wu Xiu's level had increased from Level 42 to Level 43.

After rewarding Wu Xiu with these 1.37 million experience points, his level would increase to Level 50.

Wu Xiu would still have 110,000 extra experience points.

This surplus 110,000 experience would not be enough to raise him to Level 51.

Therefore, Su Lie immediately rewarded this experience to Wu Xiu.

Subsequently, Su Lie brought the three people to the territory class change altar.

He consumed 500,000 level 5 monster crystals, obtaining five Class Change slots.

He intended to use this opportunity to help Su Keqing and Su Weier complete their Class Change trials.

After sending Lin Xi, Mi Li, and Wu Xiu into the Class Change trial grounds:

Su Lie summoned Su Keqing and Su Weier.

The two girls cheered excitedly when they learned they were going to the territory class change altar to find Su Lie.

They quickly arrived by Su Lie's side.

Su Lie said to the two girls: "Your Class Change trial requires me to follow you! Therefore, you need to go one by one! Who wants to go first?"
