Twenty kilometers for him, indeed, was not far.

His current strength as Lord Shepherd was that of a Level 9 Skeleton Warrior, making climbing hills and mountains a breeze.

Although, it could be quite time-consuming.

He’d also need to clear the dangers along the way in advance. Hmm, he could have Dead Bone set off first to clear the road, and when it had covered half or two-thirds of the distance, he’d go along the safe path with his Combat Power carry, Duo Lai.

The plan was fine.

However, these were all things that would happen tomorrow, for now, it was getting late and he definitely wouldn’t be able to complete a round trip before night fell.

Mu Yuan continued to gather materials on the forums…searching for information to enrich his knowledge.

He saw that many aspiring Lord Newbies had already started planning for territory construction and development after their trials.

“The most common way for Lords to make money is farming and mining. Luckily, there’s a small iron mine near my territory. With this vein, I won’t have to worry about development funds for the next two to three years, heh heh.”

“Damn you, Ou Huang! Why is there nothing around my territory?! However, it’s not too bad, I’ve signed a contract with the Red Lotus Group, so I can get a batch of special seeds, which will bring me a decent income after a year.”

“This is stable income. As our territory grows, we can lead armies to attack monster camps around us and continue generating income.”

Other newcomers and many old players were all shedding lemon tears.

Yes, even the poorest performing Lord Players, or even those who had given up trying, were able to plant special crops like Jade Crystal Rice, Red Blood Fruit Trees, and Hemostatic Grass and earn a good income without having to venture out on adventures.

Instead, many old and experienced players were often required to undertake tasks in the wilderness to get a decent payoff.

“Farmers can only earn a living through hard work, and mineral resources are hard to come by. If you really want to increase income, you have to start from production buildings such as the blacksmith shop and Alchemy hut. While it’s hard for us to get Miracle Blueprints, saving Contribution Points can give us a chance.”

“Oh, come on! People in larger territories have higher equipment production and faster manufacturing speed, we can’t compete. Having a blacksmith shop can only earn you hard-earned money unless we can recruit expert Forging Masters.”

“The real money makers are either discovering large reserves of high-grade minerals, or having territorial specialties.”

Territorial specialties?

Unique high-demand equipment, potions, or rare high-grade crops are all categories of specialties. Some Great Lords’ territories have special Miracle Buildings, such as Springs of Life and the Wells of the Sun, which can consistently churn out valuable by-products.

However, like minerals, specialties are hard to come by and only the extremely fortunate or powerful can acquire them.

Mu Yuan was neither, but he had some thoughts.

“Specialties, crops… I might be able to start with plant-type troops.”

Some rare, high-tier plants can continuously produce rare fruits or herbs, and so might high-tier plant-type troops.

At the very least, many plant-type troops have the ability to promote crop growth.

As for which troop to choose, he would have to see the actual situation after the Lord’s trials. Who knows, maybe the rewards from the trials would contain some kind of high-level specialty?

Compared to the activity of the forum rookie area, the real world was quite calm these two days.

The situation did not seem as serious as he had guessed, and the entire Baijiang City seemed unaffected by the border area, maintaining peace and harmony.

Well, not entirely.

“The Association exploration team discovered a random Rare Rank Troop Building in the border area. Eventually, a few Lord Players decided the recruitment quota through a Battle Will.”

“Within the border area, traces of the Twilight Cult Gang were suspected to be found. The gang’s headquarters is located overseas, with a purpose of preaching about the end of the world and has brainwashed a large number of disciples.”

“The Baijiang Association has already caught two Wanted criminal players and killed eleven fleeing monsters. They have achieved significant success.”

Okay, it does not seem to be very calm after all, but whether it’s a wanted player or a fleeing monster, they are quickly apprehended and killed, which is why it doesn’t seem much of a fuss.

However, it was said that some players got injured because of this.

There were even rumors that those crazy cults wanted to enter Xuan Country through the border area.

He was just a Greenhand, not qualified to worry about these things. He just hoped that his peaceful and quiet life wouldn’t be disturbed.

“I hope not.”

The sunset in Baijiang City was beautiful. The golden glow shot from the edge of the horizon, like clusters of arrows wound with fiery power, ready to burn off all evil gloom.

Mu Yuan had a hearty meal outside and then bought two boxes of instant noodles to stack in the villa before he sat down in front of the computer.

“As my power increases, my appetite also sees a significant increase. Thankfully, this is a players’ community, and the internal restaurant offers upgraded ingredients such as the Jade Crystal Rice. Otherwise, I would probably have to eat eight bowls of rice in a meal.”

“No wonder some experienced lords complain about how high-level troops are hard to maintain, creatures like the Earth Dragons do eat up a large amount of food, though they are just showing off.”

Mu Yuan began to draw up a plan for tomorrow’s crusade.

Relatively speaking, the Land of Filth was far away but more conducive to crusading and purification. Rose would start from this place.

But tonight, there was another critical task to take care of.

He muttered,

“Slime Evolution Points: 135.79”

Once the exploration team returned, Mu Yuan called Duo Lai over.

“Gurulu?”

“Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating!”

But the taste of evolution was even more delicious than any delicacy.

Duo Lai’s big eyes blinked like LED lights. Of course, it wanted to evolve.

Soon, the majestic light of the miracle descended again.

In the dazzling white light, Duo Lai’s shape, as expected, hardly changed.

But its skills, talents… especially the core talent of Devouring, would inevitably improve along with its enhancement in quality. Skills like Condensing Liquid Shaping, that could perfectly combine with the derivative effects of Devouring, would enhance too.

Mu Yuan had been wanting to develop a new form for Duo Lai.

He tentatively named it ‘Duo Lai Armament,’ which could protect Lord Shepherd very effectively, but there’s still a long way to go.

As he pondered, the white light faded. A familiar reminder sounded in his ear.

“Reminder: Your soldier ‘Devouring Slime ■ Duo Lai’ has been promoted to an ‘Excellence*’ troop and has learned the skill ‘Dimensional Pocket’.”

“Duo Lai”

“Level: Ranki, Level 1”

“Talent: Devouring (Intermediate)  Derivative: Harden, Mimicry, Flame,…”

“Skills: Leap, Condensing Liquid Shaping, Dimensional Pocket”

The Devouring Talent has only slightly increased and has not yet broken through to ‘advanced’.

However, the Dimensional Pocket skill involves space, it looks exceptional at first glance.

“So, where’s the pocket?”

Mu Yuan touched Duo Lai’s soft belly, then pinched it. There was no pocket.

Duo Lai poked his shoulder and opened its mouth.

Its mouth was pitch black, as if a black hole ready to devour everything, containing four-dimensional space.

Uh, this was a true Dimensional Pocket..
