"Sending a private message so early in the morning, it can't be just casual chatting, right? Could it be something important?"
Su Bai murmured to himself.
With a thought, I opened the chat window.
[Bai Mengyu: Hello, good morning!]
[Su Bai: Good morning!]
[Bai Mengyu: Last night, I unexpectedly acquired an item that I think you might find useful. I've sent a trade request, please accept it!]
[Su Bai: Ah, what item is it?]
[Bai Mengyu: The Book of Experience will be available once you receive it, and you will be able to see the specific information.]
At the same time, the transaction page started flashing.
Lines of information appeared before Su Bai's eyes.
[Trading Tips]
Lord Bai Mengyu has sent you an item. Do you wish to accept it?
"take over!"
Su Bai murmured to himself.
[Notification: Lord Su Bai, the traded items have been automatically placed in your storage space. Please check them yourself!]
Open the storage space.
There was an extra pale yellow book inside.
[The Book of Experience]
[Quality: Excellent]
Disposable items
[Introduction: An ancient sage extracted the essence of a powerful ferocious beast after its death and sealed it within this book. Over thousands of years, the beast's essence has transformed into pure energy, granting the user a massive amount of experience points.]
[Special Feature: Can only be used on hero units]
"It's a book of experience!"
"How did Bai Mengyu get something so rare? Her luck is just too good!"
Su Bai was slightly taken aback, looking somewhat surprised.
Open the chat window.
Send a message.
[Su Bai: I received it! Where did you get such a precious item?]
[Bai Mengyu: I found this by chance while out at night. I have no heroes, so keeping it would only lead to me starving. Giving it to you might just give it a different purpose.]
[Su Bai: Your Blood Elf units have night vision, which is a significant advantage! But why didn't you list them for sale on the trading system? Why did you give them to me instead?]
[Bai Mengyu: Good things should be kept within the family! Valuable resources should naturally be enjoyed by our own people!]
[Su Bai: Then how can you be so sure that I'll need it?]
[Bai Mengyu: A woman's sixth sense tells me that you've taken first place on the new lord rankings; you must have heroes under your command!]
[Su Bai: I can't accept gifts without having done anything in return. Your sudden offer to give me something makes me feel a little overwhelmed.]
[Bai Mengyu: We're all good brothers, no need to be so calculating!]
[Su Bai: Haha! In that case, I'll accept it. However, I won't take your things for nothing.]
He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him.
Favors are the hardest thing to repay.
Being greedy for short-term gains may very well lead to endless troubles later on.
The territory contains a large number of basic resources; take some out as a token of exchange for purchasing experience books.
With this thought in mind, Su Bai sent wood, stone, and iron blocks to Bai Mengyu through the trading page.
Compared to special items, these basic resources are the least valuable.
Especially in the later stages, the depreciation of basic resources will be faster.
Furthermore, Bai Mengyu obtained the Book of Experience and, without asking for anything in return, gifted it to herself.
That is truly admirable.
After all, if she lists it on the trading system, she can obtain some other resources.
A short while later, the chat window started flashing again.
[Bai Mengyu: I already said I'd give it to you, why are you giving me resources instead?]
[Su Bai: Let's keep things separate; neither of us can afford to lose out.]
[Bai Mengyu: Hmph! You big bad guy! You're still so clear about who's with me???]
[Su Bai: Even brothers need to keep clear accounts, don't you agree?]
[Bai Mengyu: Ten thousand each of wood, stone, and iron is way too much! We've only been in the Land of Redemption for 11 days, unlike those old lords. With so many resources, we definitely won't have enough in less than three days.]
[Su Bai: Just keep it!]
[Bai Mengyu: Next time we meet, I will definitely thank you in person!]
After closing the chat window, a smile involuntarily appeared on Su Bai's face.
For those who became lords this year, accumulating 10,000 pieces of wood, 10,000 pieces of stone, and 10,000 pieces of iron is indeed not easy.
Having arrived in the Land of Redemption only eleven days ago, the number of farmers recruited is limited, and the resource gathering speed is slow.
Unless we can destroy more of the local forces' strongholds, there's really no way to quickly accumulate 10,000 resources.
But for Su Bai, accumulating basic resources such as wood, stone, and iron blocks was a very easy thing.
The tenfold bonus from the Prayer buff is no joke.
By easily destroying the territories of a few local forces, one can quickly accumulate a large amount of resources.
"Kerrigan, lead 1000 Zerglings, 500 Hydralisks, and 500 Roaches out to clear out wild beasts around the territory. If you encounter high-level mutated beasts, prioritize killing them!"
Su Bai turned around and gave the order.
"Yes, my lord!"
Kerrigan nodded and led her troops away from the territory.
Half an hour later.
The synthesized voice of the system's machinery rang in Su Bai's ears.
[Battle Alert: The Queen of Blades led her swarm to a resounding victory against the mutated lion pack, suffering no casualties!]
The raging spirit of a beast.
Quantity: 220
[Automatic decomposition in progress]
【Soul +1320?】
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the number of Souls obtained has increased tenfold.]
【Soul+?】
[Hint: Item dropped, obtained 80 basic energy gems]
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the number of basic Energy Gems obtained has increased tenfold.]
[Basic Energy Gem +800]
"Nice!"
"We can continue to upgrade our territory!"
Without hesitation, Su Bai quickly began upgrading.
【wood-】
【Stone-】
[Iron block -]
【Soul-6000】
[Basic Energy Gem - 4500]
A faint white light enveloped the entire territory.
The territory began to expand.
Five minutes later.
[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, your territory has been successfully upgraded!]
[Territory Level Reached Lv11]
[Territory area increased by 5,000 square meters]
Reputation increased by 80 points.
After the upgrade, the territory's area reaches square meters.
It can accommodate more buildings, as well as springtails, hydralisks, cockroaches, and so on.
The insect swarm was originally crowded together, appearing bustling and noisy.
Things have finally become a bit more relaxed now.
At that moment, the synthesized mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded.
[Hint: Reputation points have reached 560]
[Note: Your reputation title has been upgraded]
[Note: Current title has been changed to "Somewhat Famous"]
[Hint: This will attract the attention of local forces within a radius of [number] meters!]
"If they are native inhabitants like goblins or kobolds, there's absolutely nothing to worry about!"
"No matter how many come, they will all become nourishment for the swarm!"
Su Bai's gaze was intense, showing no fear whatsoever.
