Chapter 166 Divination by Tortoise Shell! The Three Major Families of Xinwan City!

After Hang Yu was officially promoted to the third level lord, he continued to improve the territory's foundation, especially in terms of high-end combat power.

The reserve energy is still over four million.

Hang Yu directly took out 2.7 million essence.

Let Zhou Cang and the eight initial Canglong guards successfully break through the levels and reach level 21.

The eight Canglong Guards represented by Zhang San and Li Si are just ordinary character templates. Although the increase in strength brought by advancement is not so exaggerated, the advantage is that the threshold for advancement is low and can be broken through at any time.

The Eight Great Guards were already level 20 command units before they broke through. After breaking through to level 21, they will be slightly inferior to commanders at the same level, but even so they have reached super elite or quasi-commander level strength.

The territory now has a sufficient number of skills in reserve, which can be further enhanced through equipment upgrades or attribute medicine in the future. They will soon be able to cross the threshold of the commander level again.

As for Zhou Cang?

Zhou Cang has a "senior commander template"!

Under this template and qualification, his growth potential is similar to that of Hang Yu.

It's just that the threshold for breakthrough is very high, and the total attribute value needs to be at least one thousand points before breakthrough.

It would not be easy for an ordinary person to reach this value, but because Zhou Cang has an abyssal physique and has received a large number of attribute increases, he can easily meet the advancement requirements.

The moment the advancement is completed.

Zhou Cang can feel it clearly.

Every inch of the body is infused with infinite power.

From head to toe, he looks completely different.

It is conservatively estimated that Zhou Cang at this moment can beat six to eight Zhou Cang from the previous moment!

After Zhou Cang's strength improved, all his natural abilities, including the abyssal physique, were further improved. The scope of the two general skills "Loyalty and Bravery" and "Tenacity Aura" were doubled than before, and the effect was also increased by several percent!

From now on!

Hang Yu has a third-level tiger general under his command!

Zhou Cang felt the shock again. Although the Lord had long been like a god in his heart, he never expected that he could undergo earth-shaking changes in such a short period of time.

He joins the territory.

Just over a week in total.

He was promoted to cultivation level twice.

This kind of strength growth rate is too exaggerated!

"Thank you Lord for your cultivation!"

Zhou Cang could only kneel down in front of Hang Yu again to express his gratitude and loyalty.

Hang Yu said calmly: "You are the captain of the Canglong Guard that I personally selected. In the future, there will be many places where you need to play a role in the territory. If you want to thank me, work hard to cultivate and gain stronger strength!"

"yes!"

Zhou Cang doesn't talk much.

Keep this great kindness in mind.

Although Hang Yu can quickly improve Zhou Cang's level, level alone is not enough. If Zhou Cang wants to become stronger, or even break through to the rank of commander, he needs stronger foundation as support.

This kind of foundation is mainly obtained through skill training, and external objects such as equipment also play a supporting role.

Hang Yu arranged some new tasks for Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang did not retreat immediately.

He seemed to hesitate to speak.

Hang Yu asked: "What else can you do?"

Zhou Cang hesitated for a moment and said with embarrassment: "Lord, I have an unkind request for my humble position..."

Hang Yu was a little confused: "What is it?"

Zhou Cang quickly said: "Zhou Ji, the adopted son of the general, does not want to be the lord of Shansang City. He hopes to be transferred to the main city so that he can serve the lord at any time!"

It turned out to be this.

"The title of city lord of Shansang City cannot be taken off for the time being. After all, Woniu Mountain still needs his prestige. As for him wanting to follow me, there is no chance."

Hang Yu thought for a while and said: "I plan to build several peripheral elite troops based on the core bodyguards of Canglong Guard. Their members will be selected from the soldiers and civilians in various cities. They will not only have extremely high strength and quality The requirement, more importantly, must be a loyal and brave soldier, and I think Zhou Ji quite meets the standard.”

Zhou Cang was immediately overjoyed!

If you can join the Canglong Guard.

Even if you don't join the core team.

It is definitely a great blessing for Zhou Ji!

Zhou Cang quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Lord!"

Hang Yu nodded slightly: "Go down and do your business!"

"yes!"

Zhou Cang resigned.

Hang Yu walked to the high balcony of the Lord's Fort. From here, he could overlook the entire main city of Luoshui, and saw that the once small camp had become increasingly prosperous in two months.

The majestic Lord's Castle.

The bustling main city.

All are under further vigorous construction.

The current population of the main city of Luoshui is about 10,000, including 2,000 dependent troops, 3,000 carefully selected affiliated corps, and the other 5,000 ordinary working people.

The development trend is okay.

It's better to go faster.

The main city's arrow towers, barrier towers, various defense facilities, and war buildings are still insufficient. If a strong enemy comes to attack, it may cause interference and losses to the city's production and life.

Fortunately, after upgrading.

Nine subordinates were promoted immediately.

In this way, the territory has ten third-level combat powers, including himself.

Although I dare not say that I can sit back and relax, at least I have the ability to protect myself.

In addition to cultivating an army.

The territory’s manufacturing capacity also needs to be further improved.

The weapon refiner Yan Ling is currently at level 19, and the intermediate weapon refiner has reached level 16. At this level, he is already a pretty good weapon refiner in the land of stars, but he can only refine second-level, green quality equipment.

It was enough for Hang Yu before he broke through.

Now that Hang Yu has broken through to the third level, all his equipment needs to be upgraded, and the equipment of the eight third-level Cang Long Wei also needs to be upgraded. Equipment is of great significance as part of the strength!

If the eight Cang Long Wei's equipment breaks through to the third level, and some of the key equipment is upgraded to blue quality, they can easily single out the commander of the same level!

However.

There is a demand.

The territory's refining ability can't keep up.

Hang Yu has to arrange Yan Ling's promotion as soon as possible.

In addition to the construction of territory facilities and production capacity.

Hang Yu will push for the exploration of Wancheng area more aggressively next.

In particular, take the initiative to contact the local forces in Wancheng area, and even the abyss forces, to test the depth.

Just as he was brewing relevant plans in his mind.

Xiao Ba suddenly said: "Master, the first batch of materials has been recovered, and the master's quantity requirements have been met."

"Really? Pretty fast!" Hang Yu issued a task of material recovery after returning to the main city. He used relatively generous contribution points to recover various materials obtained from players in this Centipede Valley operation.

The material output this time is huge!

And they are all third-level materials!

Hang Yu asked: "How many materials have been recycled so far?"

Xiao Ba replied: "305 Thousand-Eyed Centipede Gems, 6323 Thousand-Eyed Centipede Meat, 3153 Thousand-Eyed Centipede Eyeballs, 3522 Thousand-Eyed Centipede Venom Glands, 543 Thousand-Footed Earth Dragon Meat, 332 Thousand-Footed Earth Dragon Blood, 432 Thousand-Footed Earth Dragon Bones, 43 Thousand-Footed Earth Dragon Gems..."

He glanced at the list.

Hang Yu nodded with satisfaction.

The recycling was generally smooth this time.

Although players will not take out all the materials in their hands, they will definitely keep some in their hands for research, or wait until the time is right to go to the refining workshop to customize equipment.

However, these materials are as high as the third level. The current level of refining, refining and cooking in the territory cannot handle such advanced things. Even if the players have them in their hands, it is useless for the time being.

Although it cannot be ruled out that some guys with strange brain circuits can use these materials to make various special props, most of the materials will sooner or later return to the territory production chain.

There is no hurry.

The materials acquired so far are enough.

Hang Yu urgently needs a capital injection to meet the territory's recruitment plan, so he plans to take out some materials to cash in on the market.

Among this batch of third-level materials.

Food and production materials are best kept for personal use.

Especially materials such as dragon blood and dragon bones. If they are sold in the trading market, each portion can only be sold for a dozen to dozens of magic crystals at most.

But if seeds are cultivated, materials are produced, and pills are refined, the value that can be created for each portion will increase by dozens or hundreds of times.

After some consideration.

Hang Yu decided to sell gem materials.

Gem materials are generally used to improve the grade of equipment.

Why is the Thousand-Eyed Centipede the best economic monster encountered so far? A large part of the reason is that it can explode the Thousand-Eyed Centipede Gem!

After the main city of Luoshui enters the Wancheng area, there is a large desert and barren mountains, among which there are many top second-level elite monsters and even third-level elite monsters!

These monsters are either humanoid monsters.

Although the output of essence is relatively rich and suitable for upgrading, and equipment can be directly exploded, the quality and value of the dropped equipment are average.

Even if there are various elite monsters, their drops are usually only white quality materials, which are also quite valuable, but it is normal.

Thousand-Eyed Centipede is an elite monster.

It can drop green quality gems.

Although it is a low-grade green gem, its quality is also the worst among gems of the same grade, but it is still a third-level green gem!

This kind of gem has a certain probability of improving the quality of third-level green equipment, or it can also be used to make third-level white equipment break through to green equipment!

This kind of material is relatively rare, in high demand, and of great value.

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede hunted by the Scourge Army produces an average of 5-6 Thousand-Eyed Centipede gems per head, each of which is currently worth about 100 magic crystals in the market, accounting for more than half of the total value of all dropped items.

Third-level green gems are very useful!

Hang Yu will also need a lot of gems in the future!

However, there are not so many third-level units at this stage, and more than half of the gems are in the territory, so you can sell the batch in your hand.

Other third-level materials are not as liquid as gems.

At this moment, there is only one day left before the arrival of new recruits.

Funds must be raised as soon as possible.

As for the need for a large amount of gem processing equipment in the future? This is not a problem. Anyway, the Centipede Valley is right at the doorstep, and these monsters will continue to refresh!

He immediately gave an order to Xiao Ba.

He asked him to put all 305 Thousand Eye Centipede gems on the trading market and sell them at a price of 100 magic crystals each.

Recently, there are also several thousand magic crystals recovered from players in one day.

So there is a gap of three or four thousand magic crystals.

This amount of magic crystals is not worth mentioning. It can be raised quickly by selling some resources casually. It seems that it is not difficult to solve the magic crystal problem before tomorrow night.

Xiao Ba quickly put the relevant items on the shelves.

After a while.

Various transaction information appeared.

[Ding, Lord 4516 bought 20 Thousand Eye Centipede gems, and you got 2000 magic crystals! ]

[Ding, Lord 2252 bought 30 Thousand Eye Centipede gems, and you got 3000 magic crystals! ]

[Ding, Lord 1705 purchased 10 copies of Thousand-Eyed Centipede, and you got 1,000 magic crystals! 】

【……】

A few hours down.

Half of the Thousand-Eyed Centipede gem was sold.

These lords can purchase third-level gems, which shows that they have the need to forge third-level high-quality equipment, and it also shows that they are most likely to be no lower than third-level lords.

Hang Yu was quite surprised by this.

There are more third-level lords in the human race than imagined.

The lords in this kind of trading hall usually come from the same star city or region. In other words, everyone active in it is a human lord from or around Shengcan City.

One thing to say.

Although Hang Yu is also a human being.

It stands to reason that a child will not despise his mother for being ugly, and his family will not despise his own family.

But sometimes the disadvantages brought by race are not only based on starting point and talent, but also the upper limit of territorial trade will be affected.

Among the human lords, first-level lords account for the majority, second-level lords are already elites, third-level lords are already masters, and fourth-level lords and above are definitely bosses.

The ceiling of the market and consumption power is too low.

It's okay for Hang Yu to be a third-level lord now. But when he reaches the fourth level or above in the future, it will be difficult for him to buy what he wants in such a market.

This has to be prepared for a rainy day.

The trading floor can be further upgraded.

When the trading hall reaches the third level, the trading channels in the trading hall can increase tenfold, from a market of 10,000 human lords to a trading market of 100,000 lords.

In addition, Hang Yu also heard that there are some drawings that can build special trading markets. Although these trading markets are not as convenient as trading halls, they have the function of cross-ethnic trading.

Open the public chat area.

Hang Yu glanced at the exchanges between the lords.

In addition to visiting the official game forum every day, he also likes to peek at the screen in the lord communication area, and sometimes he can gain some special information.

————

Lord 5322: "Purchase high-quality equipment, blueprints, and skill stones in large quantities. Some of them can be chatted with in private!"

Lord 5413: "Looking for green quality weapon materials!"

Lord 9241: "Adamantine mine for sale!"

Lord 4328: "Farewell, brothers and sisters, the territory I have worked hard to develop for thirteen years was suddenly invaded by a blood-eyed Shura clan lord... I am ready to surrender."

Lord 1542: "Surrender now? Why not give it a try!"

Lord 8321: "Are you crazy upstairs? Blood-eyed Shura is a superior race. Their soldiers are in their teens or 20s when they are born, with as many as five or six talents in the talent bar. Are you going to fight head-on?"

Lord 7323: "Surfer as soon as possible! If you surrender, you might be able to exit with dignity!"

Lord 6423: "If you want to change your profession and become a military general, you can come to my territory. My territory has been developed for fifty-six years and has eight maps. I am in need of experienced generals like you to guard it!"

Lord 9213: "He's the boss from Batu upstairs!"

Lord 1424: "Blood-eyed Shura? That will be difficult. This race is not easy to talk to, and there is not much hope of making a decent exit!"

…

Hang Yu flicked it lightly.

Human lords are too difficult.

Not only humans, but actually most lower-level races, they are afraid that the star lords of the same kind are even more powerful than the abyss forces.

But whether you accidentally invaded the territory of other lords during the drawing process, or you were suddenly invaded by other lords without provoking anyone, it was common.

Every time is a life and death test.

Hang Yu Diving said nothing.

Continue to peek at the screen.

…………

Lord 6333: "Have you heard? The Rising Star Lord Competition in Shengcang City is about to start on the next Stars Return Day. Is there any big shot in this group who has been invited to participate?"

Lord 0564: "This kind of competition is not something humans can participate in!"

Lord 2423: "This Rising Star Competition is very lively. Representatives from the ten major families of Shengcang are participating. However, I have not heard of any human lords participating. After all, only lords with less than ten years of experience can be selected."

Lord 3532: "If you can win this kind of competition, not only can you accumulate a lot of reputation, but you can also receive blessings from the will of the stars. Not only will you benefit personally, but the whole clan will also benefit from it."

Lord 8642: "Human beings are so difficult! No one has participated in this kind of activity for many years! The latest one seems to be Xuan Qingfeng, right? It's a pity that even his ranking is not too high."

Lord 7543: "It's a pity Xuan Qingfeng. If nothing happened at that time, the attack on the fifth level might have begun now. If Shengcang City can have a young fifth-level human lord, the situation of our human race will be somewhat better than now!"

Lord 8753: "Hey, no one in the new generation of our clan can carry the banner!"

…

Many lords are talking about the lord competition.

Someone even mentioned mentor Xuan Qingfeng.

Xuan Qingfeng has been retired for more than ten years, but he is still quite famous among the human lords, which shows that he was given high hopes back then.

After all, no new high-level human lords have appeared in Shengcang City for hundreds of years, which has also resulted in fewer and fewer benefits and support for human lords.

Although everyone is a lord.

However, the probability of the lords in this group meeting each other on a narrow road in the abyss is almost zero, and because they are all from the same human race, not only do they have no conflict of interest, but they can also help each other.

In this situation, everyone hopes that there will be a few big bosses, who can not only lead other human brothers, but also gain more say for this race in Shengcang City.

It is not difficult to know from the conversations of these lords.

Humans have not represented the New Lord Competition for several consecutive sessions, and Hang Yu did not expect that he might be the first human lord to participate in the competition in recent decades.

This competition is very important!

It is not only related to Principal Long's face and personal interests, but may also affect the status of the entire human race in the Star Land to a certain extent.

Hang Yu can take this opportunity to become famous in one battle.

However.

He can't reveal too much.

Even if the stars are a place of order, we can't be completely defenseless.

The Scourge Army alone may not be able to deal with other new lords, especially the newcomers cultivated by the major lord families and major lord forces.

It's better to bring back a few powerful local natives.

For example, Zhou Cang.

These characters are not only strong enough to shine, but also strong people born and raised in the Abyss Plane, enough to provide cover for Hang Yu and divert a lot of attention!

Just Zhou Cang.

It may not be enough!

If only I could catch a few more masters!

Hang Yu thought so and continued to casually browse the chats of the lords. Most of the information in the lords' communication channels was useless. They were usually used to kill time and learn about gossip.

However.

Just then.

A lord's speech caught Hang Yu's attention.

————

Lord 4546: "Dear bosses, I just destroyed an indigenous tribe and found several special props 'divination tortoise shells' from their wizards. This thing can lock the target position by name. I wonder if there are any bosses who need it!"

————

Huh?

There is such a prop!

Hang Yu was surprised.

He immediately checked the detailed information of the prop.

[Divination tortoise shell], green medium-grade, third-level special consumable... Introduction: You can ask for the specified target position by name. The target level must not be higher than the third level. The stronger the strength, the more vague the positioning will be.

Hang Yu's eyes lit up.

This thing is good!

Ordinary lords may not be able to use it.

But Hang Yu can use it to find the location of the specified target.

After all, Hang Yu could know in advance who was in each map.

By the way, didn't Jia Xu give me a question? Maybe I could use this item to find Zhang Zhongjing's location directly.

Hang Yu chatted with the lord privately: "How much is the tortoise shell?"

Lord 4546: "You give me a price, I'll sell it if I think it's suitable!"

This lord didn't make a direct offer, and he probably didn't know the specific value.

Hang Yu would definitely not use magic crystals to buy it. After all, Hang Yu's magic crystals in the past few days were tight. After some bargaining, Hang Yu took out three thousand-foot magic dragon gems and exchanged them for three pieces of divination tortoise shells.

The thousand-foot magic dragon gem is a gem dropped by the big boss of Centipede Valley, the thousand-foot dragon king.

This is a third-level green top-grade gem, each worth at least 500 magic crystals. It's not cheap to use three of these highly liquid gems to exchange for three disposable props.

The other party seemed quite satisfied.

Hang Yu didn't lose out either. This prop was very useful to him, and the value it played was much greater than three gems.

…………

At the same time

New Wancheng area.

This is a city that has been built for a hundred years.

It has long been the most populous and largest city in this area.

Despite this, the whole city is shrouded in a layer of hazy gray fog. Even in broad daylight, there is no bustling and noisy. Everyone in this city seems to dislike going out, giving people a feeling of solemnity or even silence.

Just then.

Several teams appeared on the street with their followers.

They passed through houses with closed doors and finally stopped in front of the city lord's mansion. Three people came down from the carriage one after another. When these three people appeared, everyone present bowed their heads and even knelt on the ground.

An old man, wearing a black robe, with deep eyes, unsmiling, holding a bone stick emitting dim light.

A middle-aged man, with slightly frosted temples and a face like a heavy date, wearing light armor, carrying a large bow, and covering his eyes with black cloth.

The last one was a tall man who came directly on horseback. He was wearing heavy armor and his head was covered with a fully enclosed helmet. The whole person gave people the feeling of a moving steel fortress.

These three people are not ordinary people.

It is not difficult to see from the flags on their carriages.

These three people are from the Deng, Wen, and Han families.

The Deng family in Xinye, the Wen family in Wancheng, and the Han family in Fangcheng were the three famous and prestigious families in Nanyang in the past, and these three people are the current leaders of the three families and the representatives of the top forces in the new Wancheng area.

They came here today for only one purpose.

That is to pay a visit to the city lord Zhang Xiu!

To deal with another round of extremely dark days that are coming!
