Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 76: Chapter 75: Isn’t This a Bit Too Showy?

There’s no denying it, Zhou Muyuan is indeed very shrewd.

He considers everything so thoroughly, and he has enough courage.

Truly worthy of being a businessman.

Thinking of this, Lin You immediately smiled: “Happy cooperation.”

“Happy cooperation.”

Zhou Muyuan grinned as well.

Just like that, the two of them reached a consensus.

After chatting casually on the street for a while, Zhou Muyuan then bid farewell to Lin You and continued on his way to the Great Wilderness Kingdom.

Before leaving, he and Lin You exchanged private messages, agreeing to cooperate again if there was a chance in the future.

As for whether the other party would leak the location of his territory.

Lin You wasn’t worried at all.

Not to mention whether anyone would come to such a remote place, even if someone did come, he wouldn’t be afraid, unless a Lord above Tier Seven appeared.

But a Lord above Tier Seven.

Would they really fancy such a small place?

The daily income of their territory is probably much higher than his several days of hard work.

“Forget it, I’ll gather Magic Energy first and build the Protective Shield.”

Having finally gotten hold of the Magic Powder for building the Protective Shield, Lin You didn’t care to think wildly anymore.

After appeasing the surrounding territory residents, he took half of the Tier Six Species into the Gobi Desert to hunt demons and collect Magic Energy.

It wasn’t until the late afternoon.

That he finally collected the 2500 points of Magic Energy needed to build the Protective Shield, and hurried back to the territory.

[The materials for building the Territory Protective Shield are complete, would you like to build it?]

“Build!”

Lin You answered excitedly.

The next second, a flash of light appeared, and at the four corners surrounding the territory, towers with mysterious engravings appeared.

[Building Name: Territory Protective Shield]

[Building Introduction: Automatically activates when the territory is attacked, protecting the territory, with a strong effect. The higher the Territory Level the greater the consumption, requiring charging.]

[Charging Consumption: (Territory Level x 1000) Magic Energy per charge]

Seeing the attributes of the building in front of him, Lin You finally sighed in relief.

With this, he no longer had to worry about the safety of the territory when he’s out.

Even if the territory is attacked, he would have enough time to return.

Although the cost of charging is a bit high, compared to the safety of the territory, it’s nothing, and it’s worth spending.

Then, he went up to the Tree of Life to check on the collection of resources for the territory upgrade.

After continuous gathering over this period, the iron ore and copper ore have essentially reached the 1500 units needed for the upgrade.

He also acquired six Territory Essences, only four short.

The stone materials still had plenty left from before, enough for this upgrade.

As for 5000 points of Magic Energy, he could entirely obtain them while collecting the remaining four Territory Essences.

Which means, what he lacks the most right now is Faith.

Upgrading from Level Six to Level Seven requires a full 500 points of Faith.

Lin You looked at the situation.

Besides the 50 points gained previously, he had only gained 27 points in these last ten days, still far from enough for an upgrade.

It seems that in the future, his focus shouldn’t be on collecting materials.

But on increasing the Power of Faith of the territory, which means the development of the territory!

Thinking of this, he sent the Wood Shadow Dragon to call Xu Zhong over.

It wasn’t long before Xu Zhong hurried to the territory and came up to him.

“Lord, you called for me?”

“Yes, there are a few things I want to ask you. Do you know if there are any other cities near our Yellow Sand City?” Lin You asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhong promptly and respectfully replied: “Of course, as far as I know, within a hundred miles radius, there are three cities. The nearest one to us should be Shuangye City, 80 miles to the east.”

“Shuangye City?”

“Yes, Shuangye City. It’s said that the Lord there is temporarily assumed by a very powerful cultivator. We just don’t know if a Lord like you has arrived recently.”

“I see.”

Lin You suddenly understood.

Cities without a Lord arriving are controlled by native residents.

If there’s an opportunity in the future, he could explore the situation there, and maybe even gain some benefits.

Afterward, he inquired about matters regarding other cities.

Only after understanding the situation of the three nearby cities did he let Xu Zhong leave.

As for him, he took the plants into the Gobi Desert to continue searching for areas where demons gather.

…

In the blink of an eye.

Another day passed.

Counting carefully, Lin You had been in the Great Wilderness Kingdom for almost half a month now.

Since the iron ore and copper ore needed for the territory upgrade had been gathered.

Lin You instructed Xu Zhong to call back all the men who were mining, to join in the reconstruction of Yellow Sand City.

Of course, they would still be paid their wages.

Indeed, with the addition of these strong young territory residents, the repair work of the city walls accelerated quite a bit.

At noon, after dealing with matters and arriving at Yellow Sand City, he discovered that the old city walls had all been demolished and rebuilt.

The streets were bustling with busy figures coming and going, accompanied by the sounds of bustling activities, looking very lively.

As soon as Lin You appeared, the territory residents greeted him one after another before getting back to their work.

After a while.

Xue Changgui, who was overseeing the work in the city, also hurried over on his crutch.

“Lord, how come you have time to inspect the territory today?”

“Just came to take a look,” Lin You said, glancing at Xue Changgui. “How are things progressing? Have you encountered any difficulties?”

“Smoothly, very smoothly.”

Xue Changgui replied repeatedly.

After the improvement in food and environment during this period, he looked much more radiant, and his stance was much more upright.

Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly said, “Lord, please come with me. I want to show you something.”

“What’s so mysterious?” Lin You asked in confusion.

“You’ll know once you follow me, it’s not far from here.”

“Alright, lead the way then.”

Since there was nothing else to do temporarily, Lin You followed Xue Changgui, reaching the square where he had descended earlier.

In the center of the square, the once dilapidated statue was gone, replaced by a brand-new huge statue.

And that statue was sculpted in the likeness of Lin You.

It stood straight on the high platform right at the center of the square!

“Uh…”

Lin You’s eyelid twitched, his facial expressions constantly shifting, making him look very colorful and expressive.

Seeing this, Xue Changgui hurriedly said, “I had the craftsmen in the city build it overnight. How does the Lord feel about it?”

Lin You: “Isn’t this a bit too showy?”

Not just showy, it’s downright embarrassing!

His own appearance, carved into a statue, placed in such a conspicuous spot.

Almost as if afraid people wouldn’t know he is the Lord here.

“Showy? I think it’s alright?”

Xue Changgui said, puzzled.

“Originally, I wanted to make a bigger one, but there are too few craftsmen in the city, so we could only manage this for now. In the future, when there are more people here, we’ll replace it with a bigger one for the Lord.”

“Enough, enough, this one is fine.” Lin You quickly stopped him, “I think this is pretty good, no need to change it.”

“Is that so? Well, then, everything will be according to the Lord’s arrangement.”

Seeing Lin You was satisfied, Xue Changgui was finally relieved and didn’t dwell on this matter.

Then he continued to report the progress of various projects in Yellow Sand City to Lin You over these days.

Lin You listened while walking down the street.

Soon, he arrived outside the city at that half-completed and water-connected moat.
