Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

When Lin You returned to his territory, it was already nighttime.

He went to the World Tree, casually opened the chat interface, and found that the lords were discussing matters about the Mechanical Empire.

“That Primordial Evil Realm is really despicable, attacking while our numbers are low!”

“The control hub has been taken by them, so now we can’t teleport directly to the Mechanical Empire.”

“That’s not all. The key issue is that we can’t trade, and I still have many unused Mechanical Cores here.”

“I heard those Tier Eight big shots have started organizing people, getting ready to reclaim the control hub tomorrow.”

“Really? I’m going tomorrow too, to crush those scum from the Primordial Evil Realm!”

The control hub has been snatched?

Seeing the continuous stream of messages on the interface, Lin You was slightly surprised.

Who would have thought that in just seven or eight days, the control hub would have fallen? It seems the battle situation at the Mechanical Empire is quite intense.

But then again, it makes sense.

The control hub is merely a teleportation outpost, and it’s not possible to have someone guard it all the time.

As long as enough lords are gathered, attacking when the enemy is sparse, seizing it by surprise, there’s a good chance of snatching it back.

In comparison,

he’s more concerned about the sealing situation of the Mechanical Empire, as this is the most crucial.

However, unfortunately, after watching the chat channel for a while, no one mentioned anything about the heart.

Not sure if it’s being hidden from above, or if the information is being suppressed.

Even the mechanical uprising is still ongoing, as if nothing happened.

But this can also be seen as a good thing.

After all, the news is incredibly shocking.

Before confirming the danger, it’s better not to let too many people know to avoid causing chaos.

“Just in time, I can earn some Magic Energy tomorrow.”

With organizing people to counterattack the control hub tomorrow, Lin You wouldn’t miss out; it’s absolutely a great opportunity to earn Magic Energy.

Especially since the enemy is the Primordial Evil Realm, who are already foes; there’s no need to show mercy. Defeating as many as he can would help cover the recent financial gaps.

Thinking of this, he quickly opened the recruitment interface, directly scrolling to the Tier Eight options.

He used six hundred unit slots to build the Four-leaf Clover Species, excluding a dozen or so Plant Species, there are still over thirty slots left, which shouldn’t be wasted.

Considering there’s no more money for mutating Symbiotic Moss, he filled all these slots with Calamity Sword Bamboo, then equipped them on the Commanding Ancient Tree.

In this way,

his front-row attack capability was elevated to a higher level.

Moreover, the Sword Qi of the Calamity Sword Bamboo can cause reduced healing and energy effects, which greatly suppresses the enemy.

Then he watched the chat channel for a while longer and went back to the cabin to rest.

…

The next morning.

Lin You woke up quickly.

After a simple preparation within the territory, he directly teleported to the Holy Sanctuary.

Just as the lords said,

at that moment, a large number of Tier Eight Lords had already started gathering on the Floating Islands, coming and going, making it much more lively than usual.

After a little inquiry, it seemed they were waiting for the message from those going to scout the control hub, to decide the timing of the attack.

“Haven’t started yet? Just as well.”

Lin You mumbled to himself, his gaze sweeping around.

Soon,

he came to a vacant spot beside the platform and set up a stall, laying out all the treasures he had recently collected.

Then, not long after,

several Tier Seven Lords passing by his stall were attracted by the items, stepping in to take a closer look.

“This… This is a Rare Species of the Undead Type, the Undead Grandmaster!”

With just one look, the gaze of those lords was caught by the golden token on the stall, exclaiming loudly.

Their voices were so loud that they instantly spread around, drawing the attention of all nearby lords.

Especially the Undead Type Lords, who looked extremely eager.

“Where is it? Where is the Undead Grandmaster?”

“Is it real? Someone is actually selling the Undead Grandmaster Species!?”

“Hurry, hurry, hurry, it seems to be over there!”

In an instant, the entire platform was boiling.

The Undead Grandmaster, being a flagship Species of the Undead Type and Rare Level, has absolutely top-tier strength.

Many Undead Type Lords dream of obtaining this species, but unfortunately, the difficulty of acquisition is exceedingly high. Many people are still using some similar ordinary species as replacements, which are vastly inferior.

It’s even no exaggeration to say,

an Undead Type Lord, once possessing this species, would see their strength immediately skyrocket, achieving a qualitative leap.

So very soon,

Lin You’s stall was surrounded by Undead Type Lords and other lords who came to watch the excitement, examining the items on Lin You’s stall.

“It really is the Undead Grandmaster Species, and it’s Tier Eight!”

“Hmm? There’s actually Mechanical Type Territorial Sacred Artifacts and Species as well?”

“Rain of Lasers, increasing laser count and penetration, what a freakishly powerful effect!”

“They even have Portable Bomb Blueprints; I’ve been looking for this!”

“Want to trade for the same type of Plant-type items?”

“Damn! I just sold a Plant-type Secret Treasure yesterday, had I known, I would have kept it.”

The lords were exclaiming, some regretting, shocked as they browsed through the items on Lin You’s stall, while also secretly assessing Lin You sitting by the stall.

To acquire so many top-level treasures, his strength is bound to be extraordinary.

After all, these things are not something an ordinary lord can get.

“Make way, make way.”

Just then, within the crowd, a voice full of urgency suddenly called out.

A Tier Eight Mechanical Type Lord squeezed through the crowd to the front of the stall.

After scanning around, his eyes finally sparkled as he looked at the Laser Rain Sacred Artifact, quickly turning his gaze to Lin You.

“Brother, how do we trade for this Territorial Sacred Artifact?”

“You want to trade?” Lin You gave him a glance.

“Yes, all my species are laser types. I’ve been looking for this sacred artifact!”

The Mechanical Lord wasn’t afraid of Lin You raising the price and directly stated his needs. He seemed very excited, clearly a laser enthusiast.

Lin You thought for a moment and said, “I’ll only trade for a Plant-type territorial sacred artifact. Whether or not to trade depends on the attribute.”

His current sacred artifact boosts all attributes and summoned creatures’ attributes.

Though it’s good, it doesn’t bolster his current species composition much.

Because the reproduction species were replaced with the Four-leaf Clover species, the number of summoned creatures was greatly reduced. Using the sacred artifact to bolster the few summoned creatures felt like a waste, to be honest.

It would be best to exchange it for another sacred artifact with a better effect.

“A Plant-type sacred artifact?”

The Mechanical Lord murmured to himself, seemingly recalling which of his friends had such treasures.

After a while, he nodded heavily, “Okay, wait for me a moment, I’ll be back soon!”

As he finished speaking, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd to find his companions.

Shortly after he left, another Tier Eight Mechanical Lord approached, directly presenting a Plant-type sacred artifact.

“Brother, see if this works?”

Lin You glanced at the other party, then turned his gaze to the sacred artifact.

[Sacred Artifact Name: Prosperous Jungle (Plant Type)]

[Level One: Natural magic power +8%, species limit +5]

[Level Two: Natural magic power +8%, species limit +5]

[Level Three: Natural magic power +8%, species limit +5]

[Level Four (locked): Territory skill “Jungle Law”]

[Jungle Law (passive): Increases damage by 10% to enemies smaller than you]

[Trait (Territory): Natural magic power +24%, species limit +15]

[Trait (Universal): Sacred artifact effect increases with the range of Origin Space.]

It turned out to be a sacred artifact that increases the species limit.

Although it only adds 15, it’s a huge advantage for Lords of the same level.

Because it allows more room to recruit combat and support species.

However…

This sacred artifact, while excellent, didn’t meet Lin You’s expectations.

Moreover, he currently has a Divine Fragment, so the species limit is not much of a concern.

Thus, the effect of this sacred artifact seemed a bit redundant for him.

“Doesn’t work?”

Upon seeing him shake his head, the Lord immediately looked regretful, retracting the sacred artifact without saying much.

After all, in trading, both parties must be willing.

Finding something suitable for oneself isn’t easy.

Especially after reaching Tier Eight, Lords’ sacred artifacts are typically very high quality.

Unless swapping types, it’s not easy to find something better, and it often depends on luck.

“I’m back, I’m back!”

Suddenly, the Mechanical Lord who had just run out returned, panting heavily, attracting everyone’s attention.

He held a territorial sacred artifact resembling a vine magic staff and quickly pushed through the crowd to Lin You.

“Brother, take a look at this. Does it work?”

He showed the attributes of the sacred artifact to Lin You.

[Sacred Artifact Name: Natural Balance (Plant Type)]

[Level One: All attributes +10%, gain a shield equivalent to 5% of Constitution every 10 seconds.]

[Level Two: All attributes +10%, shield +5%]

[Level Three: All attributes +10%, shield +5%]

[Level Four (locked): Territory skill “Natural Balance”]

[Natural Balance (passive): Gains attributes equal to shield durability and distributes them evenly across the four basic attributes.]

[Trait (Territory): All attributes +30%, shield +15%]

[Trait (Universal): Sacred artifact effect increases with the range of Origin Space.]

A shield-type sacred artifact?

After reading the attributes, Lin You’s eyes gleamed with interest.

This sacred artifact was top-level not just in attributes but also in additional properties.

Every 10 seconds, it provides a shield based on the species’ Constitution.

In other words, the higher the current Constitution, the thicker the shield, making it a perfect match for his Four-leaf Clover species.

Moreover, it’s a sacred artifact.

It also bolsters the summoned creatures!

The territory skill unlocked after Level Four is also very powerful, converting shield durability into attributes and evenly spreading them across the four basic attributes.

In summary, the higher the Constitution, the thicker the shield, and the higher the redistributed attributes. It’s practically an overall major boost.

Other Lords might not notice.

Because they have few means to stack Constitution.

But Lin You’s Four-leaf Clover species increases Constitution by 30%.

Plus, with racial talent bonus to Constitution, this sacred artifact’s effects can be maximized.

Even those watching on the sidelines were quite stirred.

All were stunned by the attributes of the sacred artifact in the Mechanical Lord’s hand.

“What do you think? Can this be traded?”

The Mechanical Lord asked again.

“It can, how do you want to trade?”

Lin You said, holding his breath and focusing.

The value of this “Natural Balance” sacred artifact was clearly higher than his “Rain of Lasers.” Flat exchanging it would probably leave few willing.

He didn’t want to miss out on such a good and suitable sacred artifact due to minor benefits; otherwise, encountering such an opportunity again wouldn’t be easy.

The Mechanical Lord evidently understood this truth as well.

After a moment’s hesitation, he said, “I’ll trade this for your sacred artifact, plus a Tiger Tank species and a portable bomb blueprint. How about that?”
