Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Wood Shadow Dragon

“Boom!!”

A loud noise came from the depths of the distant mountains.

The citizens waiting outside the city trembled in unison and looked toward the mountain’s water channel.

After a moment of silence, a crisp “splash” sound, like a Celestial Sound, accompanied by a clear stream, suddenly appeared before their eyes.

“It’s water! Water is coming, it’s really coming!”

“We’ve succeeded, we really did it!”

“Wonderful! Yellow Sand City finally has water!”

“Is this… is this real? I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“Wuuu… This is just too great…”

The citizens cried tears of joy, tightly embracing each other.

Some were even incoherent, flushed with excitement, shouting everywhere.

When the initial murky water cleared away, the flow transformed into a clear stream, rushing into the moat, causing the elderly to cry tears of joy.

The lifetime they spent protecting Yellow Sand City was worth it!

“Let’s go, let’s quickly go welcome the Lord!”

At this moment, someone suddenly thought of Lin You and shouted in the crowd.

The previously exhilarated crowd suddenly responded.

“Yes, yes, thanks to the Lord, we could bring the water here, let’s go welcome him.”

“Let’s all go, the Lord is the benefactor of Yellow Sand City for generations.”

“Exactly! The Lord has been kind to us, anyone who dares disrespect him, I, Tie Niu, will be the first to not let it go!”

“Count me in!”

“Count me in too!”

The citizens chattered loudly as they rushed towards the mountain entrance, gathering outside the entrance.

When Lin You finished his tasks and returned with the plants,

he saw them all “plop,” kneeling on the ground, leaving him utterly stunned.

At the same time, a message suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, you have earned the respect of the citizens, gaining 50 points of Faith.]

Oh my!

points of Faith!?

What is going on??

Could it be related to the water channel completion?

Lin You never expected that merely solving the water issue would earn him so much Faith.

Consider this: even those territories with several thousand people only get a pitiable one or two points of Faith each day, some don’t even get a single point.

Getting 50 points all at once indicates that the citizens truly respect him from the bottom of their hearts and genuinely recognize him as their Lord.

Indeed, all he did was incredibly wise.

In his moment of surprise, an invisible force suddenly converged on him from all directions, boosting his strength significantly.

“Is this… the Power of Faith?”

Lin You marveled at the transformation in his body, feeling much stronger than before, an improvement of approximately ten percent.

Wouldn’t that mean, with 500 points of Power of Faith, his strength could double?

This Power of Faith is truly formidable!

With that thought,

Lin You gathered himself, smiling as he approached the crowd: “Everyone, rise, now is the time to celebrate, don’t act as if it’s a funeral.”

“Lord, we may not be good with words, but as long as you’re willing, our lives are yours!”

A man who had just returned from the mining field, tears in his eyes, body trembling, couldn’t hide his deep excitement.

As soon as he spoke, others nearby chimed in immediately.

“Exactly! Our lives are the Lord’s from now on!”

“Anyone who dares say anything against the Lord, I’ll never let it go!”

“I’m in too!”

In an instant, the scene turned chaotic again.

The crowd fervently expressed their heartfelt excitement.

They have lived in Yellow Sand City for decades.

They refuse to leave, firstly because of their family here, and secondly because it’s the place that nurtured them.

Who wouldn’t want their hometown to prosper?

Now finally, there’s a Lord bringing them hope, and their respect has reached unprecedented heights.

Lin You understood their emotional state at the moment, so he didn’t stop them.

After everyone gradually calmed down, he continued: “I understand your intentions, and since that’s the case, I’m assigning you a task.”

“Lord, just tell us, we’ll accomplish it even at the cost of our lives!”

“No need to risk your lives, I just want you to maintain the water channel properly, and work on the construction of Yellow Sand City. It’s also time to start farming, I hope Yellow Sand City can develop into a large city like other places, are you confident you can achieve that?”

“Yes!!”

The citizens shouted in unison.

Some were so excited they were already imagining the bright future.

Seeing their reaction, Lin You nodded with satisfaction.

After speaking a few more motivational words, he left with the plants.

As for the citizens, they hurriedly returned, bustling around the newly opened water channel, completely changing the previously gloomy atmosphere in the territory.

…

Back within the territory, Lin You finally managed to relax.

After a brief rest, he got up and headed to the Tower of Species.

Over the past few days of collecting minerals, he had gathered enough materials to upgrade the Tower of Species and raised it to Level Six.

[Building Name: Tower of Species]

[Building Level: Tier Six]

[Building Introduction: Can research advanced forms of existing species to make them recruitable, consuming Magic Energy, Species Level cannot exceed Building Level.]

[Research Speed: 1 species/day]

[Upgrade Requirements: 1250 wood, 1250 stone, 500 iron ore, 500 copper ore, 2500 Magic Energy]

Thanks to the diligent mining citizens.

They worked incredibly hard, even more than Lin You’s expectations.

In less than three days, they collected enough iron and copper ore to upgrade the Tower of Species.

Adding the leftover stone and Magic Energy, Lin You finally upgraded the Tower to Tier Six and began researching the first Tier Six species yesterday.

This time, Lin You chose to research a species that was both practical and had powerful attributes: the Wood Demon Dragon.

Previously in the “Newbie Village,” due to resource shortage and regional blockade requiring massive resource collection.

He never had the opportunity to use Mutation on the Wood Demon Dragon.

Now, having escaped that region, he had no concerns, heading to the base of the Tree of Life and calling up the recruitment interface.

Indeed, there was now an additional Tier Six species available for recruitment.

Without hesitation, he chose to recruit.

Soon, a prompt sounded.

[Recruiting a Tier Six species requires 250 points of Magic Energy. Would you like to proceed with the recruitment?]

A full two hundred and fifty points of Magic Energy!

Fortunately, Lin You had previously gone deep into the Gobi Desert to hunt demons, added to several days of Bathing Fire Lotus accumulation, earning a considerable amount of Magic Energy.

After deducting the Magic Energy consumed in upgrading the Tower and researching species, there were still over two thousand points left, enough to recruit ten Wood Demon Dragons.

However, after thinking for a bit, Lin You decided to take the elite soldier route, as it was more valuable for cultivation, so he recruited only five.

Instantly, a flash of light, five massive Plant Dragons appeared before him.

[Name: Wood Shadow Dragon]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Six (0/500)]

[Power: 375]

[Constitution: 375]

[Agility: 420]

[Spirit: 375]

[Skills: Rapid Shadow, Super Regeneration]

[Introduction: Advanced form of the Wood Demon Dragon, speed further enhanced, undeniably the Air Dominator among mid-level species.]
