Chapter 213: The Gate to the Secret Realm

"Lord, we are here to bring you breakfast."

At this moment, a shout was heard outside the territory.

It was the voice of the steward Xu Zhong.

Lin You's mind moved, and the green vines made way for them.

After a while, Xu Zhong followed a few food deliverymen into the territory.

"Greetings, Lord."

"What's the matter?"

Lin You casually opened the chat channel to check.

"I'm here to report the situation around Huangsha City to the Lord." Xu Zhong replied respectfully.

"Well, just say it directly."

Lin You continued to flip through the chat channels and listened attentively.

Seeing this, Xu Zhong immediately said, "Lord, after our investigation yesterday afternoon, we have confirmed that the lord of Xuanyang City fell in the Ten Thousand Worlds Battlefield, and the lords of the other two cities also suffered heavy losses."

"The lord of Xuanyang City is dead?"

Lin You stopped and looked at him.

"Yes, and not only that, according to the merchants who passed by this morning, the seventh-level lord of the Ancient City has also fallen. It is estimated that it will not be long before there is unrest there, so I want to come here to ask the lord about his plans."

"The lord of the Ancient City is also dead?" Lin You was slightly surprised.

Huanggu City is about 300 kilometers away from Huangsha City.

It is also the seventh-level territory closest to them.

The Linchuan City that Lin You had learned from the merchants before was the subordinate territory of Huanggu City.

Lin You never expected that the lord would also die in the battlefield of all worlds.

You know.

Huanggu City is a medium-sized city with a population of over 100,000.

If we can absorb these people, it will definitely be a huge leap for Huangsha City. It is even possible for it to become a medium-sized city in one fell swoop!

And he has now upgraded his territory to the seventh level.

We are fully capable of accommodating such a large population and there is no need to worry about mob riots or the like.

After thinking for a while, he said directly: "Okay, go back and tell Manager Xue that all residents who move to Huangsha City will be exempted from all taxes for the first month, and then find someone to spread the news."

"Okay! I'll do it right away!"

Xu Zhong was shocked, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on his face.

He came here just waiting for Lin You to say this.

After all, if Huangsha City develops into a medium-sized city with a population of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, then the status and position of them, as veteran managers, will naturally rise, and they will have more honor.

He was not willing to waste time, so after ordering people to prepare breakfast, he led his team to leave the territory in a hurry and rushed to Huangsha City.

And then not long after.

The news that Huangsha City exempted new residents from one month's taxes spread quickly inside and outside the city, and even spread to other surrounding cities.

"Is this news true? Can new residents really be exempted from paying taxes for one month?"

"It should be correct. I just saw with my own eyes that Manager Xue and his men posted notices in the central square. There are also many notices posted in the city."

"That's great! I was just thinking about where to settle down."

"Me too, I just came from Xuanyang City. The resources in Huangsha City are much better than those in Xuanyang City."

"Isn't this nonsense? I heard that the Lord had already reached the seventh level yesterday. Can he be compared with the sixth-level Lord?"

"Wow! A seventh-level lord? Then I must move here!"

As we all know, the higher the level of the lord in a territory, the richer the resources for the development of the territory.

The level of the buildings alone is beyond the reach of low-level lords.

And it's very safe.

Especially after Lin You was promoted to the seventh level this time, the territory relic also unlocked the second level of gain status.

[Relic Name: Savage Growth (Plant System)]

[Level 1: All attributes +8%, injury recovery +10%]

[Level 2: All attributes +8%, injury recovery +10%]

[Level 3 (Unlocked): All attributes +8%, Injury recovery +10%]

[Level 4 (Unlocked): Territory Skill "Forest Guardian"]

[Features: Within the territory, plant growth speed increases by 100%, soldier attributes increase by 16%, and injury recovery increases by 20%]

[Relic Introduction: Pray to the relic to obtain the territory blessing effect, which lasts for one day.]

The powerful territory blessing effect can almost increase the strength of the people in the territory by nearly 20%, which is absolutely unmatched by ordinary sixth-level territories.

With this benefit, it will become much easier for them to go out and hunt monsters.

And as the luck recovers.

Monsters in the Gobi Desert gradually evolved to level seven and above, attracting more and more level seven practitioners.

The entire Huangsha City is truly thriving.

Anyone can see the huge potential it contains.

And at this time.

Inside the territory.

After arranging the task of absorbing population, Lin You also sat down at the dining table and checked the territory management interface while eating breakfast.

As a result, when he saw this, he was shocked.

The daily revenue of Huangsha City suddenly increased from one thousand to ten thousand.

It has increased tenfold! After deducting various maintenance costs and miscellaneous labor costs, I can still make a net profit of about 5,000 yuan a day.

In other words, even if he did nothing now, he could still recruit two seventh-level soldiers every day.

And this number will gradually increase as the population increases.

It really is true what he said at the beginning.

The income of another seventh-level lord in one day is equivalent to his hard work for several days.

then.

Lin You clicked on the seventh-level ranking list again and took a look.

I found that mine didn’t make it into the list.

Even the crown of glory above the Yellow Sand City, which symbolized the number one on the list, disappeared when he upgraded to level seven.

But Lin You was not worried.

Because even without the bonus of the Crown of Glory, his current faith improvement rate is about 10 points per day, which is much faster than when he first arrived.

As for his ranking, there is no need to mention it.

After all, he had just upgraded his territory, and the seventh-level troops had not yet been fully recruited, and the other sixth-level troops were temporarily useless.

Instead of worrying about this, it would be better to spend more time developing your territory.

Think about it.

Lin You clicked on the building interface and checked them one by one.

The remaining mineral resources he has now are just enough to upgrade all the basic buildings in Huangsha City to level seven.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Considering that there may be a large wave of population migration in the future.

He temporarily gave up upgrading the territory's buildings and used all the mineral resources to upgrade the basic buildings of Huangsha City.

In an instant.

Lights continued to light up in every corner of Huangsha City.

Those sixth-level basic buildings were all upgraded to seventh-level, attracting passers-by around to stop and watch.

After upgrading the buildings, Lin You also discovered that there were several more forest-related buildings in the building interface.

For example, watchtowers, arrow towers, and natural springs.

The first two were obvious from their names, but the third one surprised Lin You a little.

【Building name: Natural Fountain】

[Building level: first level]

[Building function: The gushing spring water can be used to treat all injuries of the people, except fatal injuries. Each treatment costs magic power/magic crystals. It is only effective for people below the building level.]

[Treatment cost: Citizen level x2]

[Daily consumption: 100 mana]

[Construction requirements: 500 wood, 500 stone, 250 iron ore, 250 copper ore, 500 magic power]

Overall, it's a nice building.

We can build it when we have enough resources in the future.

This not only allows the subjects to recover quickly after returning from hunting, but also allows them to earn a lot of magic power.

He is not greedy either.

It's enough to treat a thousand or eight hundred people every day. It's not too much to earn a few thousand mana, right?

The accumulation of these buildings can bring in a considerable amount of income.

"By the way, it seems like I unlocked something when I upgraded to level 7?"

Suddenly, Lin You thought of the prompt he heard when he upgraded to level seven.

It seems that in addition to unlocking building levels, another feature is unlocked.

Quickly open the territory interface and scroll down.

Sure enough, I saw an option called [Gate to the Secret Realm] after the long list of functions.

He quickly clicked on it and a series of introductions came into his sight.

[Secret Realm Gate: You can open the Secret Realm Gate within the territory and go to the Secret Realm Sanctuary. ]

“.”

Is that it?

No more introduction? Lin You was stunned. He looked at the above sentence from left to right and couldn't see any point at all.

Moreover, in the unknown situation, he did not dare to use this function easily, for fear that something might go wrong.

There was no other way. In this situation, he could only seek help outside the field.

After thinking about it, he immediately clicked on the private chat function and sent a private message to Ji Yunshuang.

If there was anyone he knew who knew the inside information, it would be Princess Ji Yunshuang.

As expected.

Not long after I sent the message, I received a reply.

"You suddenly asked me about the secret door. Have you reached level 7?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, you could tell that she really understood the matter.

Lin You didn’t waste any time and sent a message directly: “Well, I upgraded when I came back yesterday, so I wanted to ask, you should know, right?”

"Of course. My father's subordinates often go to the secret gate. It's a very dangerous place, but I heard that you can get military secret treasures and many other resources there."

"A secret weapon of the army?"

Lin You's eyes lit up. He didn't expect to learn about the secret treasure in such an unintentional way.

"Yeah, you should have heard of the secret treasure of the army, right?"

"I've heard of it. Keep going."

"It's enough if you've heard of it. The secret gate actually has the same function as the main city teleportation, but the place it teleports to is the secret sanctuary in the center of the continent. It is jointly managed by the three indigenous empires and is connected to the main plane of monsters."

"The main plane of monsters?"

"Yes, the monsters in the main monster plane are at least level seven. Because the space there is extremely unstable, there are often entrances to secret realms, and a large number of monsters emerge, even triggering a beast tide. So in order to prevent a large number of high-level monsters from invading the continent, we must send people to clear out the monsters in the secret realms in advance."

"I see."

After reading Ji Yunshuang's explanation, Lin You suddenly understood.

At the same time, I was terrified.

The lowest level monster is level seven. What kind of horrible place is this monster main plane? I’m afraid that a lot of level eight, nine, or even level ten monsters will come out directly.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to think about it, as Ji Yunshuang sent him another message right after.

"But I suggest you don't go there recently. It will be dangerous."
