Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 342: Chapter 344: 6th Order Territory

“My territory advanced to Rank 6 just like that?”

Qin Muye, who was hunched over his research, suddenly received a notification from “Lord Era” and was a bit surprised. In fact, he had fulfilled most of the conditions, except for the one requiring the elimination of a power, which hadn’t been met. It was indeed quite unexpected for him to achieve it within this timeline.

[Territory: Endless Abyss]

[Rank: 6]

[Advance: 10,000,000,000 Gold Coins, 1,000,000,000 units of Minerals, 1,000,000,000 units of Wood, 100,000,000 units of Gemstones, 100,000,000 units of Crystals, 100,000,000 units of Sulfur, 100,000,000 units of Mercury, 5,000,000,000 units of Reserve Magic Power]

[Buildings: Number of ordinary building types reached 5000 (4852/5000), number of rare building types reached 3000 (2652/3000), number of special building types reached 500 (36/500), number of epic building types reached 100 (10/100), all buildings reached Level 7 (7/7)]

[Unification: Destroy or subjugate the strongest indigenous power within the server (0/1)]

[Slaughter: Kill 50,000,000 enemies (0/50,000,000)]

[Blood Sacrifice: Annihilate a million-strong enemy army at once (0/1)]

[Hero: All heroes reached Level 60 (1/1)]

[Resources: Average daily production of ordinary resources reached 10,000,000 (51,000,000/10,000,000)]

[Resources: Average daily production of Special Resources reached 1,000,000 (1,020,000/1,000,000)]

[Prestige: Induce fear, horror, hatred and other negative emotions towards the territory in more than 70% of the indigenous NPC population within the server (1/1)]

[Good and Evil: Destroy or save an instance (0/1)]

[Requirement 1: Lord reached Level 60]

[Requirement 2: Possess 5 Territory Traits within the territory (1/5)]

“What the hell is this difficulty???” Qin Muye was completely flabbergasted. He had not expected the difficulty to be so outrageous.

Especially the building requirements, even he could not meet them, and what followed was the requirement to destroy the strongest indigenous power within the server and to destroy an instance.

Even more ridiculous was the requirement to have 5 Territory Traits; no wonder the True Dragon Emperor and his peers were stuck here. With just this one requirement, it wasn’t something ordinary people could achieve—well, ordinary people wouldn’t have reached Rank 6 anyway.

He was only able to obtain one Territory Trait because the Divine Artifact Equipment provided him with a vast amount of data. In addition, the presence of the Magic Network, Abyss, and Illusion Dream Realm within his territory enabled him to achieve the Seven Chapter Secret Scroll’s Territory Trait, something others wouldn’t know where to begin searching for.

“A gap of four hundred and sixty-four special buildings and ninety epic buildings, that’s just too hard to handle.”

Qin Muye could work on developing Territory Traits himself, but he was stumped when it came to special and epic buildings. It was about the type, not the quantity.

If it were the quantity, it would have been manageable, but collecting building blueprints for the types was a different story.

“How many instances do I have to enter to collect four hundred and sixty-four Special Building Blueprints, and more importantly, instance rewards don’t even give out epic blueprints!!!”

Qin Muye felt somewhat desperate for a moment.

In his territory, there were Spirit Monster heroes who were architects and planners, but because their Profession was at Rare Level, they could only draw blueprints for ordinary and rare buildings. Special and epic were out of the question, unless their Profession was advanced to Epic Level.

“Damn, this upgrade caught me off guard. The Spirit Monsters need to be upgraded too, and I wasn’t even ready for this.” Qin Muye massaged his temples, feeling increasingly busy.

He hadn’t even finished dealing with the promotions, and now this piled up on him as well.

Once he calmed down and looked again at the advancement quest, he realized that if he really pushed himself, it wasn’t too much of an issue after all.

If all the Spirit Monsters under his command were at Epic Level, professions such as architect and planner would be able to break through their existing limits and design epic and special blueprints. It was unlikely that only a Mythical Level Profession could design them.

There was still another level of building above the epic, and he estimated that only a Mythical Level Profession could design that. Don’t ask why he felt that way—ever since he obtained the “Inspiration” Lord Talent, his intuition had also improved significantly.

So as long as he completed the mass production of Pure Netherworld Water, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Territory Traits were not a significant problem, as he had already created temporary Territory Traits through Divine Artifact Equipment. With further refinement, he could easily make them permanent, and it wouldn’t be just five traits then, but even ten—Qin Muye would manage.

The reason why he didn’t boast about fifty was that he didn’t have that many Divine Artifacts; after all, there was a limit to boasting within one’s capabilities.

What remained, destroying the strongest indigenous forces and an instance, was even less challenging. Qin Muye never engaged in subjugation or rescue; his actions typically align with those of a villain.

Actually, most Lords choose to subdue the strongest indigenous forces and save the instance worlds, as these options are usually more beneficial. The former allows one’s power to expand greatly, while the latter has a comparatively low difficulty level.

Others might not know, but how could Qin Muye not understand? Destroying an instance is not as simple as it seems on the surface, like the Horror Universe, where God exists in the Eden Garden, or in fairy tales mixed with Ancient Greek mythology.

Even the World of Shadows has the presence of Dead Silence Power.

The Tidal World was a bit shabby, merely being corrupted by the Netherworld and experiencing the recovery of Spiritual Energy, but even so, that represented the terror of the Netherworld.

Nevertheless, Qin Muye still chose destruction because he wanted to devour the instance world.

Just because he couldn’t do it at Rank 5 didn’t mean he couldn’t at Rank 6.

Now, the territory at Rank 6 was a hundred times larger than it was at Rank 5. After increasing a hundredfold, it received another sixfold boost from the New World Divine Artifact, which was incredibly powerful.

This development caused many Spirit Monsters, such as the Black Hand, to become somewhat flustered, as this territory advancement was quite abrupt.

Therefore, many plans had to be started over, and it was a good thing that the Funeral Bell Weapon System had dealt with most of the Terminators. Otherwise, it would have been disastrous, and even Hercules and others might have had to step in to help.

After all, the territory had suddenly increased by six hundred times, leading to an insufficient number of Spirit Monsters.

The entire Endless Abyss had become a gigantic Floating Continent, making Floating Cities a thing of the past.

Even when the Magic Continent Server was still at Rank 6, the Endless Abyss would have taken up about a tenth of it, which was not a small area at all.

Even in a Rank 7 Magic Continent, it would still occupy one percent of the area.

That was all thanks to the Divine Artifact, New World. Otherwise, such a feat would not have been possible.

“You leveled up?” Hercules asked with some surprise.

“No, it was my territory that leveled up. I’m still stuck,” Qin Muye said somewhat sadly.

He was just one Random Dungeon Scroll away from leveling up.

“Keep an eye out for me lately; things might get chaotic right after an upgrade.”

After some thought, Qin Muye still decided to request Hercules’ assistance, as even the Spirit Monsters like Black Hand might be overwhelmed.

“Then you’ve got the wrong guy. I am Hercules. But Prometheus should have no problem; he would definitely do a better job than me,” Hercules said.

As for the three Hecatoncheires… never mind, it would be good enough if they didn’t cause trouble, let alone expecting them to help manage things.

Assigning the Hecatoncheires to combat enemies was their forte, but management? They would be better off given a security uniform to stand guard; after all, they had been doing this job for years, guarding the Place of Suffering before Qin Muye came to fetch them.

This job was rather dismal—a security guard at least has a booth, but the three Hecatoncheires had none and led a miserable life.

So now they seem intent on staying in Qin Muye’s territory. Going back meant suffering, but staying meant good food and drink. The choice was obvious.

“Okay, then. Could you do me a favor and go? I can’t leave my post, and it’s time for another upgrade for the Spirit Monsters,” Qin Muye truly had no other option and had to plunge back into development.

Upgrading the Spirit Monsters from Rank 5 to Rank 6 troops was a significant matter. Once at Rank 6, each would possess a Demon Statue Level Mecha, and combined with the enhanced Attributes post-breakthrough, they could even overpower opponents of Rank 7.

Military strength had always been an aspect Qin Muye valued greatly. He was certain that no other Lords would match his approach of conscripting all citizens as elite soldiers, their troop qualities unified in contrast to other Lords’ disparate forces.

With such a formidable advantage, Qin Muye naturally intended to maintain it.

His power has now far surpassed that of the True Dragon Emperor when he left the Magic Continent Server, both in terms of territory and his own strength.
