However, Su Bai was already very satisfied.

It's estimated that they've accumulated quite a few resources by now.

He opened the resource page.

【Soul: 840】

Timber: 7000

[Stone: 4300]

[Iron Blocks: 6000]

[Basic Energy Gem: 150]

[Biomass: 340]

"Cool!"

Looking at all these resources, Su Bai couldn't help but grin, his face practically beaming with joy.

It must be said that his speed in gathering resources is far ahead of other lords.

There's a saying that goes, "Ordinary people fear hardcore players, hardcore players fear whales, and whales fear cheaters."

Although everyone hates cheaters, everyone wants to be a cheater.

Su Bai is now bound to the Interstellar Zerg, his Lord's Mark has been upgraded to Supreme Mythic, and he prays for a tenfold boost.

Isn't this just plain cheating?

"Now, we have enough biomass to upgrade the springtail's hardened carapace."

Su Bai moved his feet and came to the front of the evolution chamber.

Open the evolution sequence and select upgrade.

【Biomass-200】

[Rhinoceros Horn - 10]

[Ivory-10]

The ten springtails stopped in place, and their muscles began to ripple.

One minute later.

A system notification appeared before my eyes.

[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai! The Zergling evolution sequence – Hardened Carapace – has been successfully upgraded.]

"Check if there have been any changes in the springtail data?"

Su Bai checked the troop information.

Springtail

[Level: Lv2]

Race: Interstellar Zerg

[Quality: A Myth of Ultimate Excellence]

[Weapons: Claws, Sharp Teeth]

[Talent: Swiftness]

[Skills: None]

[Evolutionary Sequence]

Hardened carapace: An incredibly hard carapace that greatly increases defense, helping springtails survive longer in intense battles.

[Combat Strength: Level 4]

Loyalty: 100

[Description: These small but ferocious dune runners once lived on the sand planet Zz'gash, but were later incorporated into the Zerg swarm to perform surveillance and attack missions. They prefer to tear their enemies to shreds with their sharp, scythe-like claws and teeth.]

"Holy crap, my combat power has increased! It went from level 3 to level 4!"

Su Bai's face lit up with joy, and a broad smile spread across his face.

Previously, the level of the springtail was upgraded from Lv1 to Lv2. Although it increased its speed and strength slightly, its combat level did not change.

Now, after upgrading the hardened shell, the combat power level has actually increased by 1 level.

Therefore, it can be seen that the hardening effect of the carapace is quite significant.

Now, the Zergling's combat level is the same as the Hydralisk's, both at level 4.

If we were to encounter the same Steppenwolf again, we could definitely end the battle much faster.

The upgraded springtail has a changed appearance.

Its outer skin has an additional layer of black carapace.

Su Bai moved his feet and deliberately reached out to knock.

"Bang bang bang!"

It emitted a crisp echo.

It looks very hard.

At that moment, the system's mechanical synthesized voice rang in my ears.

[Hint: Your territory upgrade resources are complete. Upgrade now?]

Rapidly upgrading your territory's level is one of the most important aspects of development.

Su Bai didn't think much of it and silently recited:

"upgrade!"

[Timber - 3000]

【Stone-2000】

【Soul-200】

[Basic Energy Gem - 100]

Immediately afterwards, the entire territory was enveloped in a faint white light film.

It was accompanied by a huge sound.

The territory is expanding.

The dilapidated little wooden house in the middle has also become brand new.

Five minutes later.

[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, your territory has been successfully upgraded!]

[Territory Level Reached Lv3]

[Territory area increased by 500 square meters]

"That's good. The territory has expanded by another 500 square meters. This way, as the number of soldiers gradually increases, they can all be accommodated within the territory."

Su Bai murmured to himself.

In this way, the buildings within the territory can be upgraded to level 3.

I have to say, the feeling of leveling up quickly is absolutely fantastic.

Next, he checked the upgraded territory information.

[Territory: Su Bai]

[Level: Lv3]

Area: 1500 square meters

Completeness: 100%

[Territory Buildings: Level 2 Barracks, Level 2 Manor, Level 1 Watchtower, Level 1 Evolution Chamber]

Upgrade Requirements: 4000 Wood, 2000 Stone, 1000 Iron Blocks, 300 Souls, 100 Basic Energy Gems

"Damn, if it weren't for the fact that the initial energy gem is still a bit lacking, we could continue upgrading right now."

Su Bai's eyes widened, a hint of fervor emanating from them.

By tomorrow, the territory's level should increase by at least one or two levels.

This incredible speed of leveling up is truly exhilarating.

During this period, other lords have probably only just upgraded their territories to level 2.

However, his own territory is about to reach level 4.

The only downside is that this territory upgrade didn't trigger any special achievements, and the system didn't issue any rewards.

However, that's not important.

So far, apart from myself, I have not seen any other lord trigger the achievement and cause the system to issue an announcement.

I'm a little hungry!

Su Bai walked into the manor, ate two sweet corns, and ate half a pound of pork jerky.

After we had filled our stomachs, the last rays of sunlight disappeared from the horizon.

The land of redemption has entered another dark night.

A full moon slowly rose in the dark sky.

The cold, frosty moonlight shone down, bringing a sliver of light to the ground.

"There are no clouds tonight, and the moonlight is much brighter than last night."

Su Bai stared into the darkness outside his territory, a sudden surge of passion rising within him.

Mysterious monsters awaken at night, but they also bring many opportunities.

What's most captivating are those unique relics.

They only appear at night, waiting for those destined to meet them.

However, fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

Entering the ruins may bring great rewards, but it may also lead to unforeseen dangers.

However, the probability of encountering ruins is relatively low.

Therefore, once people encounter it, they often choose to go in and give it a try.

Take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

It's still quite tempting.

In addition, many monsters will fall asleep after nightfall, making them easier to kill.

Another point is that, according to an authoritative survey by the official statistics bureau, lords are slightly more likely to find various treasure chests when they go out at night.

"With the protection of ten springtails and eight hydralisks, we can escape even if we encounter danger. Let's try to go out and explore tonight."

Unable to contain his excitement, Su Bai led 18 interstellar Zerg soldiers away from his territory and headed north.

Of course, he won't go too far; at most, he'll stay within a 3-kilometer radius.

Under the bright moonlight, the line of sight could stretch into the distance.

Five minutes later.

A cave to the right came into Su Bai's view.

The opening is about three meters high and about two meters wide.

"Huh, how come I didn't notice during the day that there was a cave hidden here?"
