Chapter 495: Chapter 55: Promotion Rewards (Part 2)

Legendary Building—Virtual Training Camp Blueprint: Members of the territory can enter to relive past battles, fighting within them to gain experience points and accelerate their growth. Maximum concurrent users: 1,000

Legendary Scroll—Legendary Building Tier-Up Scroll x3: Can raise the tier of a territory building by one, up to a maximum of the Legendary Tier.

The quality of the loot from the chest this time was surprisingly high. Among the nine items, there was one of Epic Tier, six of Legendary Tier, and two of Exceptional Tier.

Lin Yu, who hadn’t been expecting much, was pleasantly surprised. He immediately began to process the rewards he’d unboxed.

The nine rewards were mostly resources. They didn’t require any special arrangements; once activated, they would simply appear within the territory.

After Lin Yu activated them, the three resources—Magic Iron Ore, Blue Ice Water, and Zero-Attribute Purple Copper Ore—materialized somewhere within his domain.

Afterward, Lin Yu planned to assign workers to establish mines at their respective locations and have the Water Department send people to manage the new water source.

Next, Lin Yu found a suitable stretch of wasteland in the middle ring of the territory’s eastern region and began to reshape the terrain.

The area had just been the site of a battle. The wasteland was littered with the carcasses of territorial beasts, and what little vegetation remained had been devoured.

"All living creatures! Upon hearing my voice, evacuate this area immediately!"

"All living creatures..."

"All living creatures..."

Lin Yu’s voice boomed across the region. All residents of the territory who heard him voluntarily evacuated the area.

Of course, Lin Yu rewarded these obedient residents. He gave each person who evacuated voluntarily an All-Attribute Spirit Fruit that granted +1 to all attributes.

As for those who didn’t hear his voice, or who heard it but failed to leave, instead taking the opportunity to forage for Spirit Fruits—they, of course, received no such reward.

Once the residents who left of their own accord had retreated, Lin Yu used his authority to move the remaining creatures out of the area.

Then, the wasteland began to sink as a torrential downpour fell from the sky.

Using his ability to manipulate the territory’s elemental rules, Lin Yu drew Water Elements from afar and even converted some earth elements into additional Water Elements.

Ultimately, he transformed the entire area into a massive lake.

Next, under Lin Yu’s control, rivers from other parts of the territory were rerouted, all converging into this new lake.

With the immense influx of river water, the lake swelled several times its size, flooding adjacent areas and turning them into part of the lake as well.

Lin Yu had no choice but to use his power to teleport the creatures out of these new areas. He then further deepened the existing lakebed, which finally stopped its expansion.

"From now on, my territory has an Inner Sea!"

Lin Yu gazed with satisfaction at the newly formed Inner Sea. He placed the Deep Sea Spiritual Source in its depths and protected it with a Magic Array.

As the Deep Sea Spiritual Source settled into the water, Lin Yu could feel the Spiritual Energy within the Inner Sea begin to rise rapidly. Soon, its concentration surpassed that of the rest of the territory and began to radiate outward, enriching the entire domain.

"Excellent! It’s generating so much Spiritual Energy. In that case, from now on, this Inner Sea shall be called the Spirit Sea!"

Afterward, Lin Yu sent the updated map to the administrative center.

He then turned his attention to Chenxi, who was busy with official duties at the center.

"Chenxi, congratulations!"

"My Lord, what are you congratulating me for?"

"Congratulations on getting more work!"

"Look! What’s that!"

As Lin Yu spoke, seeds for Dragon’s Tooth Rice and a War Ancient Tree appeared on Chenxi’s desk.

Chenxi looked at the unassuming seeds without the slightest bit of contempt. Knowing Lin Yu’s temperament, the fact that he was bringing them to her personally meant they were extremely important.

’Could these be seeds for another Mythical Plant?’

"No, it’s not that dramatic. I, your lord... while certainly very powerful, am not exactly a wholesale distributor of Mythical Plants. I don’t have an endless supply of them."

"These are seeds for the Legendary Plant, ’Dragon’s Tooth Rice,’ and the Epic Plant, ’War Ancient Tree.’"

"The Dragon’s Tooth Rice can wait until the Bureau of Agriculture is established. Let its members handle the arrangements then."

"As for this War Ancient Tree, you should discuss it with Phantom and the others. It’s a combat-type plant of the Epic Tier. If cultivated properly, it could become another great pillar of our territory."

"An Epic Tier combat-type plant?" Chenxi’s eyes widened when she heard Lin Yu.

Although the territory possessed many Mythical-Tier assets, most were support-oriented. Their only Epic Tier combat assets were the Death Devourer units and the hero, Dong Lin.

Acquiring an Epic Tier combat plant now was a huge boost for the territory!

The territory itself provided various bonuses to plants, making their growth and reproduction rates astonishingly fast.

This Epic Tier combat plant was certain to reach combat readiness quickly and then flourish and multiply.

"Yes, My Lord! I’ll notify Phantom right away and have him bring his people over for a meeting!"

With that, Chenxi paid no mind to Lin Yu watching from above as she rushed off to gather the relevant personnel.

Lin Yu returned to the Lord’s Mansion and turned his attention to the remaining items.

The Exceptional-Tier Vassal Contract was of no immediate use. He could consider using it to sign a pact with the Cuiwei Star Race upon returning to Cuiwei Star.

Although his territory could currently recruit many types of vassals—including sprites, various birds and beasts, and dwarves—it could not recruit humans.

As a Human Race Lord, being unable to recruit human vassals was actually somewhat unorthodox.

Next, Lin Yu examined the blueprint for the Virtual Training Camp. A building that allowed users to gain experience in a virtual environment was excellent; it perfectly addressed the territory’s current lack of dedicated training grounds.

However, for a Legendary Building, its capacity was a bit small. Furthermore, the training function could only be used within the building itself. For the millions of troops in the territory, it was a mere drop in the bucket and not very useful.

Therefore, Lin Yu immediately used a "Building Tier-Up Scroll" on the as-yet-unused Virtual Training Camp blueprint.

Conveniently, this "Building Tier-Up Scroll" could raise a building to a maximum of the Legendary Tier, making it perfectly suited for use on a Legendary Tier building.

After using the "Building Tier-Up Scroll," the Virtual Training Camp became:

-----------------

[Name]: Advanced Virtual Training Camp (Single-Use Blueprint)

[Tier]: Legendary

[Description]: Members of the territory can enter to relive past battles, fighting within them to gain experience points and accelerate their growth.

Maximum concurrent users: 10,000

Can produce Virtual Training Helmets and Virtual Training Pods.

[Virtual Training Helmet]: Wear the helmet to relive the territory’s past battles, fighting within them to gain experience points and accelerate growth. Acquired Experience x30%.

[Virtual Training Pod]: Enter the pod to relive the territory’s past battles, fighting within them to gain experience points and accelerate growth. Acquired Experience x70%.

-----------------

Upgraded to the Advanced Virtual Training Camp, its concurrent user capacity increased tenfold, from one thousand to ten thousand, but that was still not very many.

However, it gained a production function, allowing it to create Virtual Training Helmets and Virtual Training Pods. By using these items, members could still enter the territory’s past virtual battles to gain experience through combat.

Although the experience gain was reduced, these two items would allow members to access the virtual battles and gain experience without having to be physically inside the Virtual Training Camp, which was a massive convenience.

’This is great. Isn’t this just like the legendary virtual helmets from my past life?’

’Although, in the novels from my past life, virtual helmets were just for playing games.’

’My version can actually increase a creature’s experience.’

’Nice. Once they start production, I’ll have to try it out myself!’

’I’ll have to look into it. Maybe these two items can become a specialty product for the territory!’

’A manufacturable specialty product like this is far more valuable than ones that need time to grow, like Attribute Fruits!’

Gleefully, Lin Yu placed the upgraded [Advanced Virtual Training Camp Blueprint] in the Lord’s special expedited queue at the Bureau of Urban Planning. He also sent a message directly to Xia Luo, telling her to fast-track its construction.
