"Hey! I was the one who found this meteorite first, and I even killed most of the dark ghouls on it beforehand. Shouldn't I get half of what's in the treasure chest?" Yun Rongxuan shouted as he saw Ye Chen carrying the treasure chest and preparing to leave.
Ye Xi's Moon Blade did indeed shock him, but it would be difficult for anyone to just give up all the rewards, especially since he was the one who discovered the meteorite first.
"They killed most of the dark ghouls beforehand?" Ye Chen was stunned, looking strangely at the few remaining bones in the other party's territory.
Yun Rongxuan did kill some of the dark ghouls, but to say that most of them were dead would be an exaggeration; at most, it was only about a third.
As Ye Chen's gaze swept over him, Yun Rongxuan's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but he still stubbornly held his head high, wanting to get a share of the pie from the other party.
"I've killed quite a few dark ghouls, otherwise how could you have taken this meteorite so easily?"
"Besides, I already said I come from the Yun family in the capital. You should know the reputation of our Yun family. Do you really want to antagonize us?"
Ye Xi's strength made him somewhat doubtful. Apart from the lord, no one else could see the attributes of the familiar, so he was not sure how strong Ye Xi was, but he was at least not at level 1.
With such a powerful clan, he would definitely not come out on top in a real battle. Even if he used the magic crystal in his hand to summon two more trolls, it wouldn't work, since the other side also had four people.
"That's true. You did kill a few dark ghouls, which relieved a lot of pressure for me!" Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully.
Just as Yun Rongxuan was overjoyed, thinking that the other party really intended to divide the contents of the treasure chest equally, he saw Ye Chen casually open the dark treasure chest in his arms, take out ten portions of wood and five portions of iron ore, and throw them toward Yun Rongxuan.
"Hey, don't say I'm not looking out for you. All the materials you need for the workbench are here. Isn't that giving you enough face?"
Although the other party isn't very bright, he still has the reputation of the Yun family. As long as he doesn't try to harm his clan, it would be best to get along peacefully.
Besides, his workbench was already finished, so this amount of material was insignificant to him; giving it away was no big deal.
Yun Rongxuan hurriedly took the materials thrown to him, and was momentarily stunned. So easy to talk to?
He knew exactly what was in the Dark Treasure Chest. It had been so forceful before, but this time it had given him most of the materials.
"Alright, you can play here by yourself! I have something to do, so I'm leaving now!" Ye Chen said, then controlled the floating island and sped away.
After a long while, Yun Rongxuan finally came to his senses and gritted his teeth as he looked in the direction Ye Chen had left.
"Damn, there must be something much better inside the treasure chest, far more valuable than these junk materials!"
By this time, Ye Chen had already walked far away and completely disappeared into the darkness.
Leaning against the silver laurel tree, Ye Chen leisurely took out the items from the treasure chest, and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the familiars are trolls, their brains are indeed similar!"
Aside from the basic materials, the treasure chest contained three more items, two more than the treasure chests he had opened before.
A bag of tomato seeds would be enough to improve their diet.
A low-quality fire spirit stone, corresponding to a water spirit stone, but its function is to start a fire.
In this way, he finally had the tools to start a fire in his territory.
As for the last item, it was something he grabbed and ran away with: a blueprint for the lord's manor.
“A lord’s manor can be built at will, and a sign can be hung up to make it a lord’s manor. But only those built with blueprints can be called true lord’s manors and enjoy the various attribute bonuses of a lord’s manor.” Looking at the grand blueprint in his hand, Ye Chen thought to himself with delight.
Green Shade Lord's Mansion (Tier 1)
Materials needed: 1000 wood, 200 stone, 100 various green plants, 300 vine plants
Area: 200 square meters; Number of gemstone inlay holes: 10
Attribute Bonus 1: Increases territory area by 10% (maximum 100 acres)
Attribute Bonus 2: Increases plant growth speed within the territory by 5%.
Attribute Bonus 3: Increases the speed of soil quality improvement within the territory by 5%.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Ye Chen exclaimed, looking at the attributes of the Lord's Mansion.
Don't underestimate this 5% bonus; it's because the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree is incredibly powerful. Even a normal Ancient Tree of Life only provides around 20%. For a Tier 1 Lord's Mansion to offer a 5% bonus is a significant boost for a lord.
Moreover, this is only a Tier 1 Lord's Mansion; higher-tier Lord's Mansions will have more affixes and stronger attribute bonuses.
Furthermore, while a 10% increase in territory area is a normal bonus for a Tier 1 lord's mansion, the subsequent maximum of 100 acres directly raises the value of the Green Shade Lord's mansion several times over. This bonus cap is absolutely top-tier for a Tier 1 lord's mansion.
"It's only in the trial world. If this were in the real dark world, it would be enough to exchange for a fully equipped Tier 1 territory, right?" Ye Chen smacked his lips and put the blueprint away.
The construction of the lord's manor requires a large amount of materials, which he certainly cannot provide now; he will have to wait until later.
For him, Yun Rongxuan's matter was just a minor episode. After handing over the Fire Spirit Stone and tomato seeds to Ye Xi for management, he continued his journey on the floating island and arrived at the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree, preparing to recruit his own followers again.
After clearing two meteorite sites, Ye Chen suddenly had a plentiful supply of magic crystals.
