Global Lords: I Have Information System

Chapter 264: Chapter 244: Benefit Beldam, Level 3 City Lord’s Mansion (Daily 12,000)_2

[Swift Crossbow (Blue)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Piercing Damage: 49]

[Durability: 180]

[Strength Requirement: 12]

[Agility Requirement: 10]

[Skill: Quick Reload lv5 (Increases reload speed by 15%, lasts for 3 minutes, cooldown time 1 hour)]

(Light Hand Crossbow, moderate power, suitable as a backup weapon)

This hand crossbow is already enough for Zong Shen, with piercing damage higher by 19 points than the initial whiteboard [Hunting Crossbow], and it also has a quick reload skill.

Now, the new crossbow is ready, and as for the crossbow arrows, he still has plenty in his storage grid, all previously exchanged for points, including refined level and excellent level arrows, with significant piercing damage,

Zong Shen grasped the newly bought hand crossbow and dashed out towards the territory, his hurried look leaving Marie somewhat in a daze.

Zong Shen’s current mindset, borrowing a signature line from the goblins, is ”Time is Money, my friend!”

With a crossbow in hand, not only can he finish off Ghostly Demonesses but also pose a threat to flying units like Gargoyles, with each Gargoyle able to contribute 25 points and an equal extraction value.

After only a few more minutes, Zong Shen returned to the team, and they had advanced from the east all the way to the north, gradually clearing towards the front lines.

With the hand crossbow now, Zong Shen focuses on targeting Banshees, enjoying the pleasure of finishing them off.

He and Favide are both at a point where they can’t stop.

Of course, when dealing with the Burrow Monster Swarms, Zong Shen’s exploration squad did suffer some losses.

But the damage wasn’t significant, as the Moon God Spring Water could easily restore them,

With the entire squad’s strength, as long as the monster swarms did not exceed a thousand, they could basically handle them with ease.

Thus, they continued the hunt for another five to six hours until the sky turned completely dark, and the moon cast silver moonlight, reflecting shimmering silver lights on the ground. Before they knew it, it was past 9 PM.

Most warriors were somewhat tired and hungry, so Zong Shen decided to end today’s hunt.

By this time, his burrow points had reached 43,729, an increase of approximately 16,000 compared to the previous night, thanks in large part to the appearance of the Benefit Beldams.

Just one brought over a hundred points and extraction value, which made Zong Shen genuinely fond of them.

Since he bought a hand crossbow specifically for finishing off enemies, the Ghostly Demoness has been dubbed the Benefit Beldam by Zong Shen.

From today’s hunt, Zong Shen had increased his strength value by 3, bringing his total strength attribute to 72 points. Since most Banshees were finished off by him, his extraction value increased especially fast.

Favide also secured quite a number of kills, but due to Banshees resisting elemental magic, he couldn’t finish them off easily. However, he had a good advantage in finishing off those Gargoyles.

As a result, after several hours of hunting, he managed to add two more Two-headed Hellhounds to his side.

There are now three Two-headed Hellhounds in the territory, bringing Zong Shen closer to his goal of forming the Woof Woof Team.

Today marked four days and one night since the start of the Burrow Challenge, and by noon tomorrow, it would be the fifth day, when the sixth level difficulty would unlock.

In these final two days, he needed to seize the time to hunt more Burrow Monsters and fully enjoy the burrow rewards, that’s right, rewards.

For other lords, the Burrow Challenge was an overwhelming pressure, but for Zong Shen, it had become a burrow reward.

Just like he renamed Ghostly Demoness to Benefit Beldam.

The challenge for the weak is actually a feast for the strong.

Upon returning to the territory, Zong Shen instructed San Pang to prepare food for the warriors.

As for himself, he had other matters to attend to.

The territory had already expanded into an 8th level territory, and he still held a [Third-Level City Lord’s Mansion Upgrade Certificate], which was now the perfect time to use.

Upon using the City Lord’s Mansion upgrade certificate, the Lord’s Courtyard would automatically be upgraded.

The small rundown courtyard, when first landed, was a war-damaged version of a first-level City Lord’s Mansion, with limited space and only a little broken house.

The second-level City Lord’s Mansion is what Zong Shen currently has, a Lord’s Small Tower occupying a 20m × 20m area.

The area and appearance, whether the small tower or the courtyard wall, are more exquisite and solid than the first level.

Zong Shen first cleared the Lord’s Small Tower, then exited the little courtyard himself.

Then he directly used the upgrade certificate.

The upgrade certificate in his hand turned into a ray of light, merging into the courtyard.

Simultaneously, the entire courtyard also turned into a massive light, highly conspicuous under the moonlight.

Almost attracting everyone’s attention in the whole territory.

In just one breath, the light started contracting, and once all the light dissipated, the entire Lord’s Courtyard expanded by a full size.

The total area increased to 30m × 30m, growing from four hundred square meters to nine hundred square meters.

The courtyard walls became thicker and taller, with a durability value reaching 2000 and a height of 3 meters.

The Lord’s Small Tower was also completely upgraded from a dome-shaped two-story villa to a three-story one, with two large terraces on the second and third floors. Additionally, a side platform extended from the side of the second floor.

This made the overall structure of the small tower more three-dimensional, with straight walls made from gray marble, giving it a small castle-like vibe.

Unlike the previous upgrade, after the courtyard area expanded, the buildings around the courtyard shifted outward proportionally.

This barely affected the surrounding buildings, but judging by the look, even after future expansions of this inner city, the 200m × 200m inner city range might still be insufficient.

At that time, Marie must pay attention to leaving enough inner city space, determining the distance and position for all buildings away from the inner city.

Of course, those defense buildings also need relocating and adjusting, ideally deploying them evenly in four directions, while leaving some central defense buildings in the inner city.

The third-level City Lord’s Mansion is both aesthetically pleasing and spacious, finally having the demeanor of a Fallen Lord.

Such a large house is enough for Zong Shen to shelter many weak and pitiful female warriors.

Zong Shen walked around the courtyard and felt very satisfied with the third-level City Lord’s Mansion.

Despite having little sleep time every day, looking at the increasingly luxurious City Lord’s Mansion, he still felt a sense of belonging in his heart.

Gradually, in this unfamiliar world, he began to feel almost like home.

Zong Shen walked into the courtyard, which had also become more spacious. He stepped inside, and the changes were so great and so sudden that it felt almost unreal.

Strolling through the courtyard, Zong Shen entered the new Lord’s Small Tower, which also became much more spacious.

Inside the small tower, apart from the original four rooms and the living room with the long table and sand table, a new hall and a dedicated kitchen were added.

This kitchen looks much more reliable compared to the previous first-level stove.

Once Zong Shen finds a chef, it will unleash the potential of this kitchen.

Now the territory owns a Frost Raven version of a cold storage, so most ingredients can be preserved through freezing.

Zong Shen then went up to the second floor, where the original four rooms became six rooms.

There was also a front terrace and a side terrace, with each room slightly larger in area.

The overall setup had noticeably improved.

Zong Shen continued to the third floor, where four new rooms were present, and he stepped onto the third-floor terrace. With the elevation, the entire view was visibly different.

He could practically see the entire territory ahead, and he could even spot far beyond the city walls.

Judging by the upgrade progress and changes, Zong Shen had no doubt that if he upgraded the City Lord’s Mansion to the eighth or tenth level in the future, the entire mansion would transform into a luxurious castle manor.

However, City Lord’s Mansion upgrade certificates and territory expansion are unlike each other; they are chance items not easily obtainable.

It generally requires some luck, as current observations show that opening a treasure chest is more likely to yield an upgrade certificate, and the level acquired is related to the existing level of your City Lord’s Mansion.
