[Deporting Tier Six Species only returns 125 points of Magic Energy, do you wish to continue?]
"Continue!"
Accompanied by Lin Youâs firm voice.
All the species he brought back from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms were deported by him.
Only five Wood Spirits with Nature Control Skills were kept, along with five each of Wood Shadow Dragons, Wood Lions, and Wood Calamity Turtles.
Even the planting and support species were reduced to ten.
This freed up thirty species slots in one go.
Of course, the ones he kept were those with the highest experience points.
Because he wanted to create an entire Plant Legion composed of Reproduction Species!
Only then would it be possible to turn the tide in the next Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms!
Thinking of this, Lin You immediately recruited Silver-Edged Grass to start mutation.
As before, any species that didnât inherit the Infinite Reproduction Skill would be deported, leaving only those that did.
In no time, he mutated thirty combat species.
Adding to the previous batch, there were a total of eighty-five Reproduction Species.
Then, at Lin Youâs command, all species began to multiply, one became two, two became four, directly growing from eighty-five to three hundred and forty!
If all these species were upgraded to Tier Seven, that would definitely be a terrifying force!
And if you add Lingxiâs Aura, which increases the Attribute by 10% for the group, it would be even more astonishing.
The current plan is to upgrade these species to Tier Seven before the March deadline.
It might be difficult for others, but for Lin You, itâs not a problem.
Because he has the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, he could upgrade all species to Tier Seven even without hunting demons, before the next Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms opens.
By then...
Lin Youâs gaze gradually turned sharp.
This time on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, he couldnât compete with those veteran lords due to his recent arrival on the Primordial Continent and underdeveloped species, resulting in weakness and many concerns.
But if given time, the outcome would be different.
Heâs even somewhat looking forward to what the next Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms will be like.
Of course, he also considered that other realms might do the same, stopping at Tier Six and upgrading all species to Tier Seven.
Itâs even possible that those kings and other rulers would exploit this method to cultivate Tier Six Lords purposefully, to dominate low-tier battlefields.
This is very cruel for new lords.
But the battles between realms are inherently life-or-death, devouring each other.
Thereâs no place that isnât cruel?
To put it harshly, Tier Six Lords are the least valuable.
When a Tier Six Lord dies, countless others will emerge.
Moreover, youâre not the only one who knows this method.
You can produce full Tier Seven species, and other realms can do the same, forming an invisible balance.
To survive in the cracks, you must constantly increase your strength.
"Lord, are you inside?"
While deep in thought, a voice suddenly called from outside the territory.
Through the spiritual link with the Demon Consort Dragon in the air, Lin You quickly discovered the figure standing at the edge of the Vine Forest, it was Xu Zhong, the steward under Xue Changgui, accompanied by several residents and a meal delivery cart.
"Come in."
Lin You directly instructed Cyan Rattan to make way for them.
Seeing this, Xu Zhong and others immediately pushed the cart through the Vine Forest into the territory.
"Is there something?" Lin You asked directly.
"We are here on orders from Manager Xue to serve a meal to the lord." Xu Zhong nodded and bowed to Lin You respectfully, and the residents beside him followed suit, appearing very reserved.
"Meal?" Lin You was even more puzzled.
"Yes, the manager said that you, as the lord of Yellow Sand City, cannot be without someone to attend to your daily needs, so we will arrange someone to serve you meals every day."
"Also, these are silk materials bought from merchants, sewn into lordly attire by craftsmen, brought here for you, unsure if it fits."
Saying so, Xu Zhong presented a set of luxurious lordly attire to Lin You like a treasured offering.
"Did you make this? Must have cost a lot, right?"
Lin You looked at this attire in surprise.
From what he knows about Yellow Sand City, they shouldnât be able to afford such precious materials, much less make clothes out of them.
This is why he didnât want to be extravagant, to begin with.
After all, the residents are living hard lives, as the lord, he cannot add to their burdens.
Xu Zhong seemed to understand Lin Youâs doubts and quickly explained, "The lord may not know, but the crops grown from the seeds you provided have magical effects. Merchants passing by are scrambling to purchase them, so weâve made quite a bit of money these days."
"Magical effects? Is that so?" Lin You said in astonishment.
He hadnât expected the crops grown from the seeds to have additional effects.
He hurried to the territoryâs planting garden, picked a ripe pumpkin, and the next second, an information interface appeared before him.
[Food: Pumpkin]
[Effect: Accelerates the bodyâs self-healing process, with slight enhancement to the body.]
He then dug up a potato, and another interface appeared.
[Food: Potato]
[Effect: Temporarily boosts power, with slight enhancement to the body.]
...
Evidently, these fruits and vegetables have different effects from ordinary plants due to their special seed properties.
Although the enhancement is slight, it presents a huge advantage over ordinary grains.
No wonder those merchants were rushing to buy.
They probably saw the commercial potential of these grains.
This means that Yellow Sand City can rely on such fortified grains to attract more people, right?
Itâs worth noting that these fortified grains are exclusive to them, and control over the seed output can surely aid Yellow Sand Cityâs development!
Thinking of this, Lin You immediately shared his thoughts with Xu Zhong.
"Do you mean to monopolize the production of these grains?"
Xu Zhong, indeed a steward of Yellow Sand City, understood immediately, his eyes lit up with understanding of Lin Youâs plan.
Lin You thought for a moment and said, "Yes, as long as the seeds I provide donât leak in large quantities, the secondary output from the grains wonât be as good as the first. With some proper promotion, itâll definitely attract more people."
"Alright, I understand, Iâll go and arrange this right away."
Since it concerns the development of Yellow Sand City, Xu Zhong dared not delay, and after instructing people to place the lordâs attire and meals, he hurriedly left the territory to return to Yellow Sand City.
Meanwhile, a prompt appeared in Lin Youâs mind.
[The daily transaction volume of the subsidiary territory "Yellow Sand City" has reached 10,000 Demon Crystals, territory tax system activated, please check the territory management function for details.]
"Territory tax?"
Lin You was stunned, a slight confusion appearing on his face.
He quickly opened the [Territory Management] interface and found that apart from personnel scheduling and building management, there was indeed a new tax function.
[Territory Tax: Yellow Sand City]
[Tax Rate: 5%]
[Function Introduction: A tax of 5% is levied on transactions within the range of Yellow Sand City, the rate can be freely adjusted, but it will impact the residentsâ faith, handle with care.]
After reading the tax introduction, Lin You looked at the resource interface and indeed gained an additional 500 Demon Crystals.
Converting at a one-to-one ratio, itâs equivalent to 500 Magic Energy.
Though itâs not much, it was the first income Lin Youâs territory earned for him!
The significance is entirely different.
And this is just the beginning.
Once Yellow Sand City develops properly, will there be worry about earning Magic Energy?
Now, he finally somewhat resembles a lord.
