The night faded away.

As dawn broke, the eastern sky began to lighten, turning a pale white.

[Announcement: Dear new lords, today is your sixth day in the Land of Redemption. There is one day left until the end of the newbie period!]

[Announcement: The beginner period is over, and disaster is imminent! A massive beast tide will engulf the territories of all newly appointed lords!]

[Announcement: Today, the number of wild beasts near the territories of all newly promoted lords will increase exponentially!]

[Announcement: All newly promoted lords, please make the most of this time and quickly improve your strength to withstand the beast tide that will follow the end of the beginner period!]

"Let the storm rage on!"

Su Bai yawned, walked out of the small stone house, and stretched.

As always, Kerrigan got up early to hone her combat skills and psychic powers.

Yesterday evening, three worker bees and two juvenile worker bees returned to their territory and collected a considerable amount of resources.

With the blessing of the prayer buff, I obtained a total of 7,000 iron blocks and 6,000 stones.

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

[Note: The number of free recruitment opportunities for the incubator has been refreshed.]

[Current free attempts: 1]

[Tip: You can use three recruitment attempts from the Hatchery to perform a special recruitment, which will guarantee you a Zerg flying creature.]

"Use this recruitment opportunity for a special recruitment!"

Su Bai murmured to himself.

[Note: You have already used two regular recruitment attempts. You only need one more to unlock the special recruitment.]

"Tomorrow, we'll be able to start a special recruitment and obtain flying units from the Zerg. I'm really looking forward to it!"

A hint of longing rose in Su Bai's eyes.

The might of the air force is self-evident.

At that time, the Zerg forces will be able to form a three-dimensional combat mode.

Air and ground integration.

It is capable of both close-range and long-range combat.

The Queen of Blades possesses powerful single-target burst damage, along with the buffs from her Heart of the Zerg talent.

In addition, there is the assistance of the queen insect.

The overall combat effectiveness of the swarm will undoubtedly be elevated to a whole new level.

At that moment, the synthesized mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded.

[Prompt: The manor upgrade materials are ready. Upgrade now?]

"Upgrade! We must upgrade!"

Su Bai did not hesitate at all.

As the saying goes, "Man is made of iron, food is made of steel."

Eat your fill! Eat well!

Only then will they have the strength and spirit to conquer all directions.

To unlock new foods, you must upgrade!

[Timber - 2500]

[Stone - 1500]

[Iron Block - 1000]

[Basic Energy Gem - 200]

A faint white light rose from the manor, radiating a warm atmosphere.

One minute later.

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

[Manor Level Reached Lv4]

After the upgrade, the free recruitment period for the manor has been shortened by 1 hour.

It has been reduced from 22 hours to 21 hours.

Now, newly recruited worker bees or young worker bees start at level 4!

"I wonder what kind of food will be unlocked this time!"

Su Bai couldn't wait, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

View the upgraded manor information.

[Foods that can be produced: steamed buns, corn, pork jerky, braised beef, charcoal-roasted duck]

Holy crap, charcoal-roasted duck!

"Pork, beef, and duck—now we have it all!"

"They came to the Land of Redemption simply to enjoy themselves!"

Su Bai grinned, his face practically beaming with joy.

After the manor's quality is upgraded to Mythic, not only do the recruited worker bees become stronger, but the types of food that are unlocked also become much more powerful.

Most people have relatively low-level Lord's Marks of Awakening.

Before level 10, your manor can only unlock basic staple foods such as cornbread, steamed buns, green vegetables, and steamed bread slices.

A newly appointed lord like Su Bai, who starts with access to various kinds of meat, is extremely rare.

"Let me have a taste first!"

Su Bai walked into the underground storage room of the manor, picked up a charcoal-roasted duck, tore off the outer foil packaging, and began to tear it into large bites.

The outer skin is crispy, and the meat is tender and delicious.

Of course, you can't just think about enjoying yourself.

"Kerrigan, here you go!"

Su Bai picked up a new charcoal-roasted duck and handed it over.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Kerry Gan smiled sweetly.

A short while later.

After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.

Su Bai has started a free recruitment drive for the manor.

A cute, young worker bee emerged.

He gave the order for three worker bees to lead three young worker bees out to search for and collect resources.

Today is the sixth day since we descended upon the land of salvation. After tomorrow, the sun will rise the day after tomorrow.

The beginner period will end, and the beast tide will begin its assault.

For the last two days, Su Bai planned to focus on leveling up the Queen of Blades.

In other words, the beasts around the territory are left to the Queen of Blades to kill and gain experience.

As for the levels of Zerglings and Hydralisks, let's put that aside for now.

As mentioned in the previous announcement, the number of wild beasts near the territories of all newly promoted lords will increase exponentially.

It would probably be easier to gain experience by grinding it out.

"Kerrigan, go and clear out the wild beasts around the territory. See if you can level up again today."

"Understood, my lord!"

Kerrigan nodded, raised her long, straight, powerful legs, and turned to leave the territory.

The morning passed in the blink of an eye.

The synthesized voice of the system's machinery rang in my ears.

[Notification: Congratulations, Lord Su Bai! Your hero, Blade Queen, has reached the maximum experience points and has been upgraded to Lv5]

[Note: After upgrading, the Queen of Blades' strength, speed, bone wing strength, and psionic power will be enhanced.]

[Note: After upgrading, the talent - Heart of the Zerg - is enhanced, increasing the combat effectiveness of the Zerg within a 2000-meter radius by 50%.]

[Note: After upgrading, the skill - Kinetic Impact - is enhanced, allowing it to deal significantly more damage to the target unit.]

[Hint: A brand new talent has been awakened - Valiant and Resolute]

Holy crap!

"That's awesome!"

"They've even awakened a completely new talent!"

Su Bai was overjoyed and, through telepathic communication, ordered Kerrigan to return to her territory.

While waiting, he glanced at the notification message again and nodded in satisfaction.

The Innate Zerg Heart has been enhanced by another 10 percentage points.

It has increased from 40% to 50%.

In other words, under the influence of the Heart of the Zerg, the Zerg swarm's combat power is directly increased by half.

"My lord, I'm back!"

Kerrigan quickly returned to her territory.

Lines of information popped up.

Su Bai turned his attention to the talent section.

[Talent 2: Valor and Fortitude]

As the Queen of Blades in the Zerg swarm, she possesses powerful psionic abilities and boundless courage, capable of single-handedly reaping massive amounts of enemy troops.

If the number of enemies exceeds ten, the Queen of Blades will increase her fighting spirit, and her attack power, defense power, spiritual power, and injury recovery speed will increase by 100%.
