Could it really be possible to trigger even a one in ten thousand chance of obtaining high-quality items?
Are Legendary Heroes truly the children of fortune?
The Empress glanced at Jiang Chen, then at the treasure chests on the ground, seemingly understanding something. She chuckled softly:
"Is it possible that the Lord's hands are too unlucky, so you need me as a tool?"
Jiang Chen glared at the Empress:
"Is that how you speak to your Lord?"
"Giggle..." The Empress, dressed in her palace attire, already looked incredibly alluring, and her laughter made her even more enchanting. "Accidentally guessing the Lord's thoughts, it's all my fault!"
As her favorability increased, the Empress's changes were visibly noticeable.
Though she still maintained a cold demeanor in front of outsiders and even dragons, always referring to herself as "this Empress."
But in front of Jiang Chen, she occasionally revealed a more girlish side.
Before long.
Nearly 300 Fine Treasure Chests were all opened.
The Empress indeed had a lucky hand.
Although no Attribute Books were found, the harvest was still abundant.
First, there were dozens of pieces of fine equipment.
Next, there were 25 Fine Unit Souls and 1 Fine Hero Soul.
Fine Hero Soul (+): For ordinary heroes, it can advance them to elite heroes; for elite heroes, it can increase their star level.
This was something more valuable than a Hero Token.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chen was too poor; otherwise, he could immediately enhance a Legendary Hero Soul, elevate the Empress to a two-star legendary level, greatly increasing combat power, or upgrade an Epic Hero to legendary quality!
Next, there was a Skill Book.
Torrent Palm (+): An E-level skill, when cultivated to a high level, can manipulate the target's bodily fluids.
From any perspective, this palm technique was quite good!
Finally, there were blueprints.
The Empress opened a total of 7 blueprints: Arrow Tower *4, Farmland *2, Kitchen *1
Farmland (+): Covers 100 square meters, can plant grains, fruits, and vegetables. (Perhaps, you can look for some seeds)
Kitchen (+): Improves the diet of territory residents, stabilizes and enhances the morale of the territory. (You finally don't have to endure that unpalatable food anymore)
All good things!
However.
Jiang Chen currently had no extra energy or resources to build these farming-type structures.
Because he was planning something big.
Jiang Chen took out an Arrow Tower blueprint.
"Consume 20,000 Spirit Stones, choose enhancement direction ⑨, Tower of Heaven's Wrath..."
...
In the blink of an eye, 4 hours passed.
During this time, Li Muze completely disappeared, not daring to utter a single harsh word, seemingly truly frightened.
"Indeed, it takes a villain to deal with a villain!"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
On the other hand, An Chuxia and the little fox each sent private messages, reminding him to stay safe.
And Jiang Chen spent 140,000 Spirit Stones, finally upgrading all 4 Towers of Heaven's Wrath to level 2.
Tower of Heaven's Wrath
Level: 2
Firing Speed: 2 seconds
Range: 300 meters
Skills: Explosive Arrow, Sky-Burning Wrath...
The level 2 Tower of Heaven's Wrath stood 10 meters tall, with its body intricately carved with red runes, shining brilliantly.
A red energy sphere, with a diameter of a meter, rolled wildly but was firmly bound within the magic crown at the top of the tower.
The Tower of Heaven's Wrath boasted a combat power of 72 stars.
In terms of destructive power alone, it already surpassed Legendary Units of the same level.
If Jiang Chen hadn't mastered the enhancement ability, even if another Lord obtained the blueprint, they wouldn't have the resources to build it.
Suddenly.
A massive dragon head suddenly peeked over.
Dragon Nine looked at the Tower of Heaven's Wrath in awe:
"Lord, this defensive tower actually makes me feel a threat of death."
Jiang Chen patted Dragon Nine's head:
"How have you all rested?"
Dragon Nine squinted comfortably like a stupid husky.
"Reporting to the Lord, the Dragon Squad has fully recovered, and according to your suggestion, I'm urging them to practice lung capacity, aiming to sustain their breath for 20 seconds next time."
Jiang Chen chuckled.
This little female dragon learned quickly and had strong execution, truly a promising talent.
Whether it's Lords, heroes, or units, they all need rest.
So just after nightfall, Jiang Chen summoned all the dragons back to the territory.
For this, he even disregarded the resource points' defense.
The Empress appeared silently beside Jiang Chen, yawning:
"My esteemed Lord, why aren't you all asleep at this late hour? Is there a battle tonight?"
"There is indeed a battle," Jiang Chen nodded, "and it's going to be a fierce one!"
Hearing this, the Empress's eyes lit up.
Jiang Chen turned his head, and upon seeing the Empress's attributes, he exclaimed in surprise:
"Your Heavenly Sound Art has broken through to mastery, how did it happen so quickly?"
Empress (Legendary☆)
Level: 4
Favorability: 90 (Intimate)
Attributes: Physique 112 (+32), Spiritual Power 84 (+32), Soul 60 (+32), Capacity 76.
Cultivation Method: Heavenly Sound Art · Mastery (C-level)
Combat Power: 107☆
The Empress slightly raised her chin:
"My Heavenly Sound Art was originally at the Transcendent Realm, so retraining was naturally easy. Plus, with the High-Grade Spirit Stones provided by the Lord, reaching mastery in one day is nothing surprising."
Though she said this, the Empress's expression did not seem humble.
"Good! As expected of the Empress!"
Achieving a hundred-star combat power!
It's unprecedented!
If the Empress always remained this vigorous, Jiang Chen could tolerate a bit of arrogance.
With everything ready, Jiang Chen wasted no time.
"The sooner we finish the fight, the sooner we can sleep!"
He took out the Dark Lure purchased during the day from the Mysterious Hut.
Dark Lure (+): Has a strong attraction to dark attribute monsters, can trigger a dark attribute monster tide of the current territory level. If used at night, the effect is doubled.
Opening the enhancement list, Jiang Chen took a deep breath.
"Consume 100,000 Spirit Stones, choose enhancement direction ③, Advanced Dark Lure."
You should know, enhancing an Epic Treasure Chest only costs 100,000 Spirit Stones.
Speaking of which, thanks to Li Muze, the money-bringing boy.
Otherwise, with Jiang Chen's financial resources, he could only enhance an Intermediate Dark Lure.
After enhancement.
The Dark Lure emitted a deadly dangerous aura, as if it could draw in one's gaze.
The Empress gasped:
"I have never seen something so evil!"
Jiang Chen averted his gaze and tossed it lightly:
"Use!"
The Dark Lure shone brightly.
Immediately after.
Crack—
A bolt of lightning struck down from a thousand meters high, but what was terrifying was that this lightning was black, an extreme black.
"Defiled Thunder descends, disaster is imminent!"
Jiang Chen muttered:
"Is such a big commotion necessary?"
"The nearby Lords might have a sleepless night tonight!"
The black lightning grew more numerous.
At the edge of the Fog of War, countless spatial rifts rapidly formed.
Pairs of scarlet eyes peered through time and space, greedily watching the vibrant world before them.
Caw—caw—
Accompanied by piercing cries, a squad of black crows with wingspans of four meters burst from the rifts, circling above the territory.
Jiang Chen murmured:
"Rare unit from the Dark Dimension, Six-Eyed Black Crow, level 8, not bad, not bad!"
After all, the stronger the monsters, the greater the rewards.
Following that.
Squad after squad of at least rare-quality units poured out from the rifts.
"Dark Ranger, Eerie Mage, Greater Ghost, Evil Eye, and that is..."
Upon seeing the figure riding a Nightmare, exuding a terrifying aura at the rear of the dark army, Jiang Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath:
"An Epic-level Dread Duke, and a five-star epic at that!"
