Chapter 439 Hunting Competition

In just two days, the flight route between Huangsha City and the Royal Capital was successfully opened.

During these two days, Lin You was busy inside and outside, taking care of various matters after the territory upgrade.

period.

Many lords also came to visit and congratulate him on his advancement.

Among them there were even two ninth-rank lords who came over to make themselves known.

"My Lord, after counting, the gifts those people sent totaled 80 million magic crystals, 2.36 million kilograms of grain, and countless precious materials. Please take a look."

Inside the territory, Xue Changgui handed a statistical account book to Lin You while reporting.

"So much?" Lin You took the account in surprise.

Apart from the two ninth-level lords, the majority of those who came to congratulate in the past two days were lords of the seventh and eighth levels.

Eighty million magic powers is not a small amount for lords of these two levels.

Even if they were added together, it was still a little beyond his expectations.

It just so happened that he was short of money right now, so this could be considered a temporary solution to his urgent problem.

"Okay, leave 50 million in the working capital, specifically for expanding the city to recruit population, and you can handle the rest."

Lin You deposited 50 million magic energy into the liquid funds of Huangsha City, and only kept 30 million for himself as a reserve.

Now is the time when Huangsha City is undergoing massive expansion, and this amount of money may not be enough to sustain it for long.

After all, he had a ninth-level territory, and it was also connected to the trade of the royal capital, so he had to aim for a million-level city, so naturally he would need money for its construction.

"By the way, what did those people sent by the king say today?"

Lin You thought of something and asked.

"Your Excellency, this is a matter concerning regional jurisdiction." Xue Changgui clasped his fists respectfully.

"Regional jurisdiction?"

"Yes, every ninth-rank lord in our principality has the right to govern the surrounding areas. All cities within a 500-mile radius are now under the jurisdiction of our Huangsha City."

When saying this, Xue Changgui's voice was obviously trembling.

Back then, their area was the most barren borderland, without even an eighth-rank lord.

Today, their Huangsha City has not only leapt into a ninth-level territory, but also has the management rights of this area.

It can be said that earth-shaking changes have taken place.

To this.

Lin You had heard of it.

The king delegates authority and asks the ninth-level lord to help manage the surrounding areas.

5% of all territorial taxes within the jurisdiction will be provided to the ninth-level lord, and then the principality will take half, and the remaining half will belong to the ninth-level lord.

The reason why they don't levy taxes is because they are too poor and there is no tax to levy.

Now that Huangsha City has risen, it has gradually boosted the surrounding economy, making this land no longer barren, and tax revenue from the principality has naturally followed.

After all, no matter what.

This is also on the territory of the principality.

"Okay, I'll leave the contact to you. If those cities are unwilling to cooperate, just tell me directly."

"I understand!" Xue Changgui responded respectfully.

Immediately following.

He took out another account book and continued to report other things.

And at this moment.

On the void platform used to recruit new lords.

The three-month joint recruitment has just begun, and the entire platform is full of sixth-level newcomers.

The person in charge of recruiting for the Great Wilderness Principality was an eighth-rank lord serving under the king. He was leaning calmly on the chief judge's seat with his legs crossed.

Suddenly, a seventh-level leader came hurriedly from a distance.

"Mr. Presiding Judge, there are new orders from above!"

While shouting, he raised a golden document in his hand.

"What orders?"

The eighth-level lord sat up straight, attracting the attention of the new lords who were queuing for the test.

The person in charge did not cover up and said directly: "Sir, the superiors just sent an order, saying that the ratings of all territories within 500 miles of Huangsha City will be directly upgraded to S-level. Because the territory information has not been changed in time, we should be careful not to distribute it according to the original rating."

"Huangsha City? Are you talking about the territory of Lord Lin?"

The eighth-level lord suddenly became alert and quickly took the document.

When he unfolded it, he saw that it was indeed printed with the king's seal.

"It seems that due to the influence of that person, the ratings of these territories have been temporarily changed. Listen carefully, all of you. The F-level and E-level territories around Huangsha City will all be allocated as S-level."

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every responsible person. Even the new lords who were queuing for the test heard it clearly. They were all surprised and started talking about it.

"Senior, why did the rating of the territory suddenly upgrade from F to S?"

A new lord couldn't help but ask the person in charge of recording data.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other newcomers nearby looked over here, all with curious looks on their faces.

"Oh, you mean those territories? Because a ninth-rank lord has just been promoted nearby, being assigned there is equivalent to receiving the protection of that lord, so of course the rating must be raised."

The person in charge said this without even looking up, obviously having expected this situation to happen.

“Ninth level!”

The eyes of the new lords widened.

Those eighth-level principality judges were already so powerful that they suffocated them, so how terrifying would the ninth level be?

If they could get the protection of such a strong person, it would definitely be very beneficial to their future development!

In an instant, many new lords who received the news gathered around and asked about the S-level territory.

Even talented people with great potential were attracted by the title of the Ninth-Rank Lord and came over to inquire.

The lively scene made the representatives of other principalities nearby look sideways.

Overall.

The birth of a ninth-level lord has a very great impact.

The void platform is just a microcosm of this.

As the source of all this.

Lin You actually didn’t feel much.

After listening to Xue Changgui's report, he brought the 30 million magic powers he had just obtained to the World Tree and upgraded the more important buildings in the territory one by one, raising them all to the ninth level.

The effects of buildings have been significantly improved after the level has been upgraded.

For example, the training ground increases the training speed of the people, the breeding farm increases the efficiency of monster breeding, and the blacksmith shop increases the efficiency of equipment forging.

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

Both are important ways to improve the overall level of residents and are decisive factors in attracting foreign population to stay long-term.

These.

They are all incomparable to the eighth-level lords.

After upgrading the buildings, he used the newly obtained materials to build 5 airships, and there was exactly 20 million magic energy left.

After checking that nothing is missing.

Lin You came and sat down next to him, opened the Principality Channel, checked the news, and ate the breakfast brought by the people.

Now that neither the monster plane nor the border battlefield can be visited, the lords are basically bored and all gather in the principality to chat and joke, or visit each other.

All in all it's very boring.

This was probably the first time he had seen such a harmonious and peaceful day since he came to this world, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

During this period of time, I have been running around to survive and become stronger.

How long had it been since he had such a relaxing and pleasant day? He probably couldn't even remember it. This was a good time to relax his body and mind.

"My Lord, are you in there?"

Just as he was thinking, a question suddenly came from outside, interrupting Lin You's thoughts.

Through the spiritual connection with the Demon Emperor Dragon in the sky, he saw Wei Gang standing outside with a team of guards.

"Come in."

As the voice fell, the ivy forest made way for a path.

Not long.

Wei Gang walked into the territory alone and hurried to him.

"What's up?"

Lin You asked while eating.

"My Lord, in a moment, the various forces in Huangsha City and other surrounding cities will jointly hold a monster hunting competition in the Gobi Desert to select the younger generation of practitioners."

"The lords of each city have basically arrived. I would like to invite you to go over and take charge of the situation."

"Hunting competition?" Lin You paused.

"Yes, this kind of competition is held every year. It is set up by those forces specifically to recruit talented young people."

"Many young people with good talents who want to join the forces will come here. We can take this opportunity to recruit some good seedlings." Wei Gang explained respectfully.

There are basically forces of varying sizes in every city.

Colleges, gangs, families, and cultivation sects, everything is available.

Even within Huangsha City, many forces have emerged recently, becoming one of the main sources of practitioners in the city.

Moreover, promoting the discovery and training of the younger generation will be extremely beneficial to the future development of Huangsha City. At least there is no need to worry about the supply of talent.

There's nothing to do for the time being anyway, so I might as well go and take a look.

You can also kill time and meet the lords of other cities.

Thinking of this, Lin You nodded and said, "Okay, you go and make the arrangements first, I'll be there soon."

"Then I will take my leave first."

Wei Gang clasped his fists and bowed, then hurried away, heading towards the Gobi Desert with his men.

And at this time.

Edge of the Gobi Desert.

Powerful teams from major cities gathered here, making the originally desolate Gobi Desert lively.

In addition to these powerful teams, there are many young people who do not have a team.

Most of them look only twelve or thirteen years old, and the older ones are around fifteen years old. Basically, they have just reached the age to start practicing, which is the best time to show their talents.

Looking around, every young man's face was filled with excitement and anticipation, and they gathered in groups of three or four chatting excitedly.

"I heard that many representatives from major forces are here this time. I wonder if I have a chance to be selected."

"If you want to join those big forces, you probably have to rank in the top 100 in this hunting competition."

"Look! They are representatives from Taihua City's Spirit Sword Sect and Leihuo City's Skyfire Academy!"

"And over there, it seems to be the Lie Dao Sect of Zhongzhou City. Even they are here!"

"Look at the front, could it be those seventh-level lords nearby?"

"Really? Even such a big shot is here!"
