[Six Radiance: We buy basic building materials such as wood, stone, and sand, no quantity limit, price guaranteed! We also buy defense tower blueprints at high prices, offline transactions are possible, system guaranteed, honest and fair!]

...

A message suddenly popped up in front of me.

Su Bai, who had just finished chopping down the tree, was taken aback.

Within the Fallen Dragon Island area, have other players already reached level five?

"He's got something."

Su Bai thought to himself.

He had a double experience bonus and survived two waves of defensive monsters before reaching level five.

Normally, a lord player can only reach level four at this point.

There is simply not enough experience.

The only explanation is that the other side has repaired the center of their territory and has begun exploring outwards.

An hour had passed since the second wave ended.

Let's calculate the progress.

That's pretty much it.

Of course, this progress is for players who spend money. Just repairing the territory center requires 100 pieces of wood, 100 pieces of stone, and various other materials, which would cost at least tens of thousands of dollars at current prices.

Most people wouldn't be willing to invest such a huge sum in a game.

Instantly.

A sense of urgency rose in Su Bai's heart.

He thought his development speed was fast enough, but he still underestimated the level of the Krypton King.

I was just thinking about it.

Another message popped up in front of me.

[Regional News]

[Azure Dragon: The Azure Dragon Society sincerely invites allies from the northern part of Fallen Dragon Island to develop together, achieve mutual benefit, and journey together to dominate the world!]

...

"Another level 5 player, Six Glory, Azure Dragon... none of these are names I'm familiar with."

Su Bai recalled carefully.

As far as he knew, Fallen Dragon Island eventually fell into the hands of a lord named Cang Xue. However, the island's owner had changed hands several times, and Cang Xue might not have been a local.

"Wait, the Azure Dragon Society?!"

Su Bai suddenly stopped.

Then his eyes flashed with a cold light.

In his previous life, after he obtained that mysterious jade pendant, several top guilds in the country jointly issued a warrant for his arrest, which ultimately led him to a desperate situation.

One of these guilds is called the Four Symbols Hall.

The Four Symbols Hall is composed of several factions, including Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. The Azure Dragon Society is one of the predecessors of the Four Symbols Hall!

"What a small world!"

Su Bai licked his lips.

The northern part of Fallen Dragon Island—isn't that the area he's in? It seems I'm destined to clash with the Azure Dragon Society.

"Alright, I'll start by collecting some interest from you."

Su Bai hurried back to his territory, learning that one of his greatest enemies was also developing in the same area, and he knew he needed to accelerate his own development.

In the territory, a simple dwelling has been built.

Recruiting farmers requires food.

Su Bai took out a pile of wild fruits.

Recruitment will then commence.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

A milky white light enveloped the wild berries, which then disappeared to the ground. With a creak, the farmhouse door was pushed open from the inside.

Two adults, a man and a woman, with blank expressions, walked out of the house.

The two men were of average appearance and looked to be in their thirties.

The moment they saw Su Bai, they immediately knelt down on the ground.

He said respectfully:

"Greetings, Your Lordship!"

"Yes, this will be your home from now on."

He said in a flat voice.

These recruited units possess the same intelligence as humans; they can communicate, feel joy, experience fear, and each has its own personality.

They should never be viewed as rigid NPCs in a game.

Su Bai, who had been reborn, knew even more clearly that the people in the world of immortality were real beings with flesh and blood.

If you are approachable when you are with them, their loyalty will grow even faster.

They will work even harder.

Conversely, if you scold them every day, their loyalty will drop.

There have been strikes, exodus, and even rebellions.

It's incredibly realistic.

No, it can't be described as realistic, because this is a real world in itself.

These farmers are all living, breathing human beings.

Su Bai checked the attributes of the two people.

...

"Well enough."

Su Bai nodded.

Qualifications are the most important attribute of the recruiting unit.

With a aptitude of 2, Cuihua is already considered quite good in the early stages, and her attribute growth is even slightly higher than Su Bai's own.

The maximum qualification for recruiting units is 10 points.
