“It’s only the first day, and you’ve already taken down a Level-Two demon wolf lair?” The other party immediately replied, their tone filled with shock.
A Level-Two quality tier demon wolf lair contained at least fifteen Fine-Grade demon Wolves.
Generally speaking, one needed to upgrade their territory to advanced grade before having the capital to clear out a demon wolf lair.
Currently, on Blue Star, the fastest record for conquering a Fine-Grade resource field was held by an american. He had spent seven days attacking a Fine-Grade dwarf mining area.
Yet Yang Ming had only used one day!
He was seven times faster than that american. It was simply terrifying!
“Mm, it was only a level-two resource field. Was it really that difficult?” Yang Ming replied indifferently.
“So you’re a big shot!” The other party’s eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, “I can give you the weapon forging blueprint, but I have one condition. I want to become friends with you. How about it?”
“My weapon forging blueprint is fine grade. You know that its value is far greater than five hundred jin of demon wolf meat.”
Yang Ming pondered for a moment. “Fine.”
“Then let’s add each other as friends!”
“Mm.”
【Friend Information: Junior lord「Zhang Wei」 has requested to add you as a friend.】
Yang Ming accepted his friend request.
Then,
【Trade information: Zhang Wei wants to trade 「Tang Hengdao Forging Blueprint · fine grade」 for five hundred jin of 「demon wolf meat · fine grade」. Do you agree to the trade?】
Yang Ming took five hundred jin of demon wolf meat from the granary, then clicked the button to accept the trade.
In an instant, white light flared.
The five hundred jin of demon wolf meat was transported to Zhang Wei’s territory.
At the same time, a Fine-Grade Tang Hengdao Forging Blueprint appeared in Yang Ming’s territory.
Yang Ming picked up the blueprint and examined it carefully.
【Name】: Tang Hengdao Forging Blueprint.
【Quality tier】: fine grade.
【Effect】: Can forge fine-grade weapons without limit.
【Forging materials】: Ten jin of pig iron, one jin of crude steel, five pieces of obsidian, three pieces of star ore…
“With this blueprint, I can forge at least fifty fine-grade weapons within two days. Then… I’ll flatten the territory of that Dongying person nearby.”
Yang Ming was full of confidence.
Not long ago, he had sent two hundred warriors to conquer a Common-Grade mining area. The ore resources mined there happened to be usable for forging Tang Hengdao.
Holding the blueprint, Yang Ming arrived at the already-built blacksmith shop.
Yang Ming’s luck was good. Among the fifteen natives assigned by the system, there happened to be a blacksmith.
“I’m assigning you ten workers. Within three days, you must forge at least fifty fine-grade weapons.” Yang Ming spoke in a tone that allowed no refusal.
“As you command, lord.” The blacksmith did not dare delay and accepted the forging blueprint from Yang Ming.
Afterward—
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The continuous sound of hammering iron rang out from the blacksmith shop.
…
Three days later.
It was now six o’clock in the morning.
Only half an hour remained before the newcomer protection period ended.
“Lord, the Tang Hengdao have been forged. There are fifty in total. Please inspect them.”
Inside the blacksmith shop, a craftsman held a Tang Hengdao in both hands and spoke to Yang Ming with utmost respect.
Yang Ming picked up the Tang Hengdao.
It was a very heavy straight blade, weighing a full ten jin.
【Name】: Tang Hengdao.
【Quality tier】: fine grade.
【Attribute】: Increases combat power by 20%（upper limit: 40 points）
【Attached skill】: Every Strike Critical（Every strike can deal double damage, with an upper limit of 100 points.）
“Hum!” As the Tang Hengdao was drawn, a sharp blade-hum rang out.
Yang Ming swung the Tang Hengdao and lightly struck the hard stone beside him. The stone was instantly shattered into pieces.
“Mm, a good blade. As expected of a fine-grade weapon.” Yang Ming nodded in satisfaction.
“Chen Jian.” Yang Ming shouted.
“This subordinate is present.” Chen Jian immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
“Gather the warriors. Follow me into battle,” Yang Ming said.
“As you command.” Chen Jian accepted the order and went to assemble the troops.
Not long afterward, under Chen Jian’s command, three thousand warriors stood in neat formation at the entrance to the territory.
Yang Ming distributed the remaining forty-nine Tang Hengdao among the warriors with the highest combat power.
“Brothers, three kilometers east of our territory is the territory of a Dongying Japanese Devil. He is our enemy.”
Standing atop a rock, Yang Ming declared loudly, “All soldiers, follow me into battle and flatten that Dongying person’s territory.”
“Yes!” the three thousand warriors shouted.
The territory’s gates opened, and led by Yang Ming, the three thousand valiant warriors departed in a grand procession.
…
Meanwhile, in the real world.
The meeting room of Huaxia’s highest-level leadership.
“Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the dongying people who are living quite comfortably have sent us an encrypted message!” a council member reported as he stepped forward.
The old man seated at the highest position calmly said, “Open it.”
The next second, the encrypted message began playing on the meeting room’s screen.
“This, this…”
After watching the message, all the leaders present changed expressions.
“Those damn dongying people actually have two new lords who awakened A-grade talent?”
“How could this happen? Of the more than eight billion people worldwide, only thirty-seven have awakened A-grade talent so far. The probability is practically zero.”
“Why has Foot-Basin Country suddenly produced two new lords who awakened A-grade talent?”
“Could it be that Heaven truly intends to destroy Huaxia?”
“Silence!” The old man seated at the highest position once again spoke up to stop the commotion.
“What about our Huaxia? Among these one hundred thousand new lords, is there anyone who can awaken A-grade talent?” the old man asked.
“N-no… no one.”
The meeting room fell into deathly silence.
“Continue,” the old man said, raising a hand in indication.
The council member reorganized his thoughts and began to report:
“Most of this batch of new lords from Huaxia awakened talent below C-grade. Among them, one thousand have C-grade talent, while only twenty have B-grade talent.”
“However, a new lord named Yang Ming has displayed an unknown anomaly in his data. Even using the lord Divine Staff, we cannot detect his information.”
“The technicians speculate that he may have fallen into some sort of dangerous domain and is likely doomed.”
An oppressive sense of despair surged into everyone’s hearts.
Even the old man seated at the head seemed to age more than ten years in an instant.
Could Huaxia truly be doomed?
…
Myriad Races Battlefield, Blue Star Domain novice zone.
“Yoshi, my samurai army has expanded to one hundred men.”
Looking at the army he had spent three days training, Meichuan Kuzi felt extremely pleased with himself.
Meichuan Kuzi had originally been a chubby otaku from the Dongying Nation. He had lain around at home for seven or eight years, and even at thirty, he had accomplished nothing. His life depended entirely on financial support from his parents.
But after being forcibly sent into the Myriad Races Battlefield, Meichuan Kuzi miraculously awakened A-grade talent and successfully turned his life around!
In only three days, he had built a powerful hundred-man samurai army.
【Beep beep beep, you have received 99+ messages.】
At that moment, the system’s notification sounded.
Meichuan Kuzi crossed one leg over the other, found a chair, sat down, and began checking his messages:
“Meichuan, did you really awaken A-grade talent? That’s amazing. Can I date you?”
“Big brother Meichuan~ Quickly accept my friend request. I have pretty videos and photos~”
“With Meichuan here, that group of useless Huaxia newcomers definitely won’t be our match.”
“Hehe, according to the information our Intelligence Department obtained, those Huaxia newcomers actually want to establish a new king-level territory in the novice zone. They’re dreaming.”
“Please, Meichuan, lead us in wiping out those disgusting, pathetic huaxia people.”
“Senior Meichuan, you will definitely become a hero of our Great Eastern Ying Empire in the future. I want to follow you!”
…
Seeing so many messages praising and worshiping him, Meichuan Kuzi’s vanity was greatly satisfied.
“Isn’t it just killing a few Huaxia new lords? That’s far too easy for me.”
Meichuan Kuzi typed out a message, then sent it with a smug look:
“Hello, everyone. I’m Meichuan Kuzi.”
“There’s a Huaxia person’s territory near mine. Everyone, once the newcomer protection period ends, I’ll go butcher that Huaxia person and put on a show for you all.”
These words instantly sent the Dongying newcomer chat channel into an uproar.
“Mighty Meichuan!”
“Long live Senior Meichuan!”
“Long live!!”
“Our righteous Eastern Ying Empire will surely kill all the evil huaxia people.”
As a fat otaku who was despised in the real world, Meichuan Kuzi was receiving the acknowledgment of so many people for the first time.
This made him grow increasingly arrogant.
“Five more minutes, and the newcomer protection period will disappear. Hahaha, I’m going to become the first Dongying hero to conquer a huaxia territory!”
Meichuan Kuzi had already begun fantasizing that, after he killed the huaxia lord, the news would surely dominate the public screen.
By then, he would become the most dazzling Dongying hero in the Blue Star Domain novice zone and reach the peak of his life.
“Hahaha, it’s definitely going to feel incredible.” Meichuan Kuzi burst into laughter.
