Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?



[Your level has increased to LV10]

[You have gained 1 Free Attribute Point]

[You can choose one skill from the following three]

[1. Basic Resistance (Reduces received magic debuffs and damage by 5%)]

[2. Intermediate Wisdom Skill (Allows the learning of Level 4 Magic)]

[3. Basic Finance Skill (Increases daily income by 125 Gold Coins)]

After considering his own level, Qin Muye chose the Intermediate Wisdom Skill. To him, the other two skills weren't very useful. Had the Intermediate Wisdom Skill not been available, he probably would have chosen Basic Resistance.

Besides that, Demon Blood also upgraded, reaching Level 9.

Though Qin Muye had an experience of 22,000, in reality, Demon Blood and Evil Speech each only had 13,000 normal experience.

Demon Blood upgraded from Basic Defense Skill to Intermediate Defense Skill.

[Intermediate Defense Skill: Reduces physical attack damage received by 10%]

From 5% to 10%, doubled, which was quite good.

Evil Speech this time did not jump three levels, only increasing by 2 levels, reaching Level 5.

He subsequently learned two skills, Basic Wisdom Skill and Basic Intelligence.

While Qin Muye possessed Basic Wisdom Skill, the appearance of Basic Intelligence intrigued him greatly. He wondered why it hadn't appeared for him, perhaps just bad luck...

[Basic Intelligence: Increases the Hero's Magic Value Limit by 10%]

At first thought, it was quite a powerful skill, directly increasing the Magic Value by ten percent. Qin Muye wanted it too, even if there wasn't an increase in the Magic Value Limit, but from the name alone, he knew it definitely was a good skill.

Of course, that wasn't the main issue. The main issue was that he discovered his experience was locked at the back, preventing any leveling up, which caused his expression to change instantaneously.

If he couldn't level up, wouldn't he just be ruined, only able to idly wait for death in the future?

However, fortunately, "Lord Era" soon provided an explanation for him.

[You have reached Level 10, now issuing an Advance Quest]

[Quest Requirements: One brilliant or higher victory (0/1), Kill one Hero unit (0/1), Territory upgraded to Rank 2 (1/2)]

[Quest Reward: Talent Ascension x1]

"Well, that really ups the difficulty."

Especially killing one Hero unit. From the description, it seemed likely he'd have to do it himself. If it weren't for capturing this Spider Walk Hero this time, where would he go to complete this quest?

As for the other two requirements, they were actually not difficult to fulfill. With Evil Speech, his evaluation was a crushing victory, unfortunately, past victories didn't count, and he must accomplish new ones; otherwise, he would have already completed the first task.

"What the heck is Talent Ascension? Does it improve my talent?" Qin Muye glared at the reward, not seeing its significance.

Soon after, he quickly put it out of his mind, promptly upgrading his territory to Rank 2.

[Your territory has been upgraded to Rank 2]

Just this brief line, after which the entire territory began to tremble and expand outward. That meant, in terms of rules, his territory had grown larger.

Quickly, the tremors ceased. Currently, his territory's area had doubled, which was definitely good news.

His farms outside the territory were once again encompassed within the borders of his land. Qin Muye was no professional when it came to territorial architecture, attending to planning based more on intuition and neatness rather than seriousness. Inevitably, there were many inadequacies, but that could only be addressed later by a professional.

"There doesn't seem to be any increase in territorial size with the rank upgrade, does there?" Qin Muye found it strange.

For him, whether the territory doubled in size or not didn't make much of a difference; buildings could still be constructed outside the territory.

"Perhaps it signifies sovereignty?"

He felt that "Lord Era" definitely wasn't doing such pointless things without reason; the territory's size must have some significance, he just didn't know what it was.

So Qin Muye decided not to think about it anymore, as he couldn't guess anyway. "Rank 2 now... Demon Blood, inform all Spirit Monsters to go to the Magic Spirit Monster factory for transformation into Rank 2 troops." Qin Muye notified Demon Blood and sent them off to handle it, as he couldn't be expected to take care of such minor matters himself. He then glanced at the upgrade requirements for Rank 3 territories; the requirements were indeed stringent.

[Territory: Mage Tower]

[Rank: 2]

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

[Building: Magic Pool (1/1), Magic Guild (0/1), Library (0/1)]

[Requirement: Lord to reach LV20]

Not only did the resources have an extra zero added, but there were also building requirements. The Magic Pool was manageable, but where was he to find the other two?

Oh, he actually found them in the Points Shop; a Magic Guild building blueprint for fifty thousand points, and the Library blueprint was slightly cheaper, just thirty thousand.

The repair of the Magic Pool was also hindered by the Element Core, but it didn't specify it needed to be in good condition; a dried-up one would also work.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

About this, Qin Muye had no idea where to find these items.

However, soon, Qin Muye stopped bothering with these frustrating matters and instead decided to check the technological enhancements brought by the Spirit Monster Experiment Manual, though he didn't have much hope for how much enhancement it would provide.

[Spirit Monster Attack Power Enhancement: Spirit Monster Attack power +1]

[Spirit Monster Defense Enhancement: Spirit Monster Defense +1]

[Spirit Monster Life Value Enhancement: Spirit Monster Life Value +10]

These were the three technological enhancements from the Basic Spirit Monster Experiment Manual, and they could be described as optional...

[Spirit Monster Magic Luck: Learn Level 2 natural Magic, Luck Technique]

[Spirit of Spirit Monster-Cheer: Movement Speed +1]

[Spirit Monster Physique-Magic: Magic Value +10]

[Luck Technique: After release, Luck +1, lasts 10 minutes, consumes 10 Magic Power points]

Apart from the Luck Technique, the others were really just standard, adding very little to

impress.

But the Luck Technique was indeed top-notch, directly adding 1 point to Luck. If it were the original Garden Elf, it might be even more impressive, though the addition was a bit small. He wondered if it could later be inherited by a Hero.

So, he immediately began researching Spirit Monster Magic-Luck.

[You have begun researching Spirit Monster Magic-Luck, Cost: 10,000 Gold Coins, Duration:

48 hours]

The basic was 1,000 Gold Coins, and naturally, the advanced one was 10,000 Gold Coins. But

Qin Muye wasn't short on money... presumably.

Well, he didn't have a lot of money, but he did have some.

At least maxing out all the Spirit Monster enhancements with money wasn't a problem, although the time requirement was a bit disappointing to Qin Muye; he had thought that spending money would instantly yield enhancements.
