Wu Feng issued commands as meticulously as possible. Vigus, being highly intelligent, nodded and flapped her Demon Wings before flying out.
Wu Feng had commanded Heroes of Excellent Quality and above in the simulation game; they were capable enough to handle such matters autonomously. However, Wu Feng still checked on Vigus's status first.
Lords can view the status of Heroes or Troops in real-time. It is a 'God's Perspective' hovering above the target's head, but its radiation range is limited, meaning the view is not as far as what the Hero or Troop sees directly.
But this ability is sufficient for the Lord to grasp the basic situation of their subordinates. Under Wu Feng's observation, Vigus flew out of the Territory Range. The surrounding ground was all gray, scorched earth.
That was Land Plot eroded by the Abyss Aura, which could not produce or allow the construction of Buildings. Only an Abyss Lord could Purify this Scorched Earth and restore it to normal.
Vigus had not flown far along the way before she encountered wandering Green-Skinned Goblins again.
These low-level Demonic Monsters like to wander around looking for prey, and they become frenzied upon seeing a female. If she were to be defeated, it would surely turn into an adult film plot.
But Vigus was far stronger than the Green-Skinned Goblins. She whipped her long lash fiercely, and pink light emanated from her eyes. These 6 Green-Skinned Goblins were instantly mesmerized and became Vigus's Slaves.
Vigus pointed toward the direction of the Territory, and this group of Goblins, carrying wooden clubs and stone hammers, came to guard the Territory.
"These are quite good Cannon Fodder. Now if other Demonic Monsters come, they can hold them off for a while..." Wu Feng watched the Goblins guard the fence and Vigus easily one-shot the Green-Skinned Goblins. He felt he didn't need to pay too much attention to Vigus.
First, he would focus on developing the Territory. These 10 Green Treasure Chest Keys should also trigger a Critical Hit on the First Draw.
"These remaining 10 Blue Summoning Scrolls can be saved for a Hundred Consecutive Draws to get good items. Using low-level Summoning Scrolls to pad the count is the way to maximize profit!"
Wu Feng pulling Vigus was a First Draw Critical Hit; its effect was equivalent to a Hundred Consecutive Draws, both resulting in a Level Increase of two quality grades—a Blue Hero turning into an Orange Hero.
Summoning Scrolls are a large category that allows accumulating draw counts. Using White or Green Scrolls can pad the count to increase the draw frequency.
When nearing 100 draws, one can use Blue Scrolls to boost the return, increasing the quality by 2 levels, which is equivalent to a Ten Consecutive Draw using Orange Scrolls. This is a huge opportunity.
After all, obtaining an Orange Summoning Scroll is very difficult in the early stages. This is also Wu Feng's only way to get an Orange Hero early on.
As for the Green Treasure Chest Keys, those can be used immediately. Relying on the First Draw Critical Hit, he might get some good items to quickly establish the Territory, preventing it from being just a row of fences. The 7 Peasants he summoned could at least find something to do.
Having set his strategy, Wu Feng casually used the Treasure Chest Keys. The 10 Treasure Chest Keys summoned his Treasure Chests all at once. A row of Treasure Chests opened sequentially—this scene was super stress-relieving.
The contents of the Treasure Chests appeared sequentially. The rule was still the 1-3-6 principle, but for Treasure Chest Keys, there was a 10% chance of getting an item one quality grade higher than the Key, a 30% chance of getting an item of the same grade, and a 60% chance of getting an item one grade lower.
Green Treasure Chest Keys also had a chance to yield Blue Items!
Wu Feng maintained his Godly Opening Hand luck; there was indeed one Blue Item inside! The final Battle Record was one Blue, two Green, and seven White! It was almost a perfect 1-3-6 formation.
【Ding... First Ten Consecutive Draw （Treasure Chest Key ） successful, triggering the One Shot Soul Infusion Talent. The Starlight Tower Summoning Card （Blue ） quality you obtained increased by 1 level. The First Draw provided an extra Critical Hit, and the item's level was additionally increased by 1 level. 】
After the Blue Item Evolved in quality, it turned into an Orange Item, and a special card fell into Wu Feng's hand.
Star Cluster Tower Summoning Card: Perfect Quality. Can summon a Star Cluster Tower at a designated location. This Defense Tower is a Medium Defense Tower （occupying an area of 40m*40m）. 【Click to view detailed attributes of the Star Cluster Tower 】
"It's a Defense Tower Summoning Card! I've hit the jackpot!" Wu Feng rejoiced internally. This was much more Precious than a Defense Tower Blueprint.
When defending the Territory, Lords mainly rely on Defense Towers + Followers. Heroes like Vigus paired with Troops are very flexible, but Defense Towers also have their advantages.
Once constructed, Defense Towers cannot move but can form a permanent Defense Line. Even the most careless Lord knows that placing a few Defense Towers next to the Lord's Heart provides greater security.
Looking at the Tower Defense Summoning Card Senior Sister Su Mu gave Wu Feng, the gap between Excellent and Perfect quality is truly vast.
Repeating Crossbow Tower Summoning Card: Excellent Quality. Can summon a Repeating Crossbow Tower at a designated location. This Defense Tower is a Miniature Defense Tower （occupying an area of 10m*10m）. 【Click to view detailed attributes of the Repeating Crossbow Tower 】
Su Mu gave the Tower Defense Summoning Card intending to provide Wu Feng with a Guaranteed Minimum. The Repeating Crossbow Tower is sufficient for early-game transition needs, but Su Mu would never have expected Wu Feng to possess an Orange Tower Defense right at the start.
Wu Feng felt that having an Advanced Defense Tower greatly increased his margin for error, and he no longer had to worry about his Lord's Heart being stolen.
Star Cluster Tower + Repeating Crossbow Tower should be enough to survive the Novice Period for the first seven days without issue.
However, he didn't rush to summon his own Tower Defense. Instead, he first checked the other gains from the Treasure Chests. Besides the Star Cluster Tower, the remaining 9 items were: 3 units of Grain （White ）, 2 units of Miniature Land Plot （White ）, 1 Resource Crystal （White ）, 1 Farm Blueprint （Green ）, and 1 Challenge Token （Green ）.
Among these items, Grain is food. Wu Feng himself, along with Heroes and Troops, all require Grain consumption. People need food to survive; food is essential and must be stockpiled.
1 unit of food is 100 kilograms. These 3 units of Grain are enough to ensure the Territory doesn't worry about food supply early on. On the clean Land Plot where the Lord's Heart is located, there are also some wild vegetables that Peasants can gather to make simple meals with the Grain.
Simple life skills like cooking and gathering are skills Peasants possess.
Resource Crystal is an item used to randomly obtain Magic Crystals and Resources upon opening. In the One Shot Soul Infusion Talent, the Resource Crystal is also a major category.
Miniature Land Plot is an item used to Purify Scorched Earth and expand Territory. This is hard currency among Lords. Besides gaining Purification Authority through Lord Level Increase, usually only Land Plot-type items can expand Territory.
Miniature Land Plot: Normal Quality. Can Purify 1 unit （100m*100m） of Abyss Scorched Earth into a Level 1 Land Plot.
"Even this lowest-grade Land Plot item is not bad. Being able to expand Territory this early means I can also build the Farm and the Star Cluster Tower simultaneously."
Wu Feng walked along the Territory's wooden fence to the edge of the Scorched Earth. Purifying Scorched Earth using Land Plot items or one's own Authority must be done adjacent to one's own Territory.
Wu Feng decided to extend the Territory toward the Goblin Race's direction, which was east of the Lord's Heart. This direction had just been cleared by Vigus, so there were no Demonic Monsters present, making it safe to Purify.
As the Land Plot item was activated, it transformed into Holy Light that sprinkled onto the Abyss Scorched Earth. The previously cracked ground instantly reverted to its original flat state, and the lingering Abyss Aura was completely purified.
Thus, Wu Feng used 2 Miniature Land Plots consecutively, expanding his Territory Area to 3 units, which is 3 hectares in size.
Viewed from above, the Territory consisted of connected square grids, forming a long, narrow strip.
"If I had this much land in the Safe Zone, I'd truly be a Great Landlord..."
As Wu Feng, who had just become a Formal Lord, felt that being a Lord was incredibly satisfying! This much Territory, all his own.
Lord Codename: Nine Heavens Roaming
Territory Owned: 3 units.
Total Territory Level: Level 3.
Heart of the Lord Output: 3 Magic Crystals/hour.
Lord's Heart Health Points: 3000/3000.
Looking at the Territory Attributes, the Land Occupation, Total Territory Level, and Output had all changed, and even the Lord's Heart Health Points had increased significantly.
Its Health Points change in accordance with the Total Territory Level, and the same principle applies to the Lord's Heart Output.
After expanding the area, Wu Feng took out the Green Resource Crystals to extract resources first.
Similar to the other two types of draws, after using the Resource Crystals, various lights shone. The probability was still the same 1-3-6.
Each Green Resource Crystal had a 60% chance of yielding 40-100 Magic Crystals, a 30% chance of yielding 4-10 units of Normal Quality Resource, and a 10% chance of yielding 1-3 units of Green Resource.
The result was that Wu Feng still drew the Guaranteed Minimum return.
Draw Results: 【1】56 Magic Crystals 【2】64 Magic Crystals 【3】45 Magic Crystals 【4】6 units of Lumber 【5】78 Magic Crystals 【6】5 units of Stone Material 【7】67 Magic Crystals 【8】90 Magic Crystals 【9】66 Magic Crystals 【10】3 units of Ironwood.
【Ding... First Ten Consecutive Draw （Resource Crystal ） successful, triggering the One Shot Soul Infusion Talent. The 5 units of Ironwood （Green ） quality you obtained increased by 1 level. The First Draw provided an extra Critical Hit, and the Resource Crystal yield level was additionally increased by 1 level. You obtained 5 units of Red Sandalwood （Excellent Quality ）. 】
Wu Feng discovered that after the Resource Level Up, he actually obtained a higher quality resource. He ultimately received 5 units of Red Sandalwood （Purple Quality ）. Although it wasn't a Special Resource, it was still quite rare.
The only drawback was that he probably wouldn't need this thing for a while.
However, the Lumber obtained from the draw could be used immediately. He took out the Farm Blueprint and had the 7 Peasants build the Farm first. The Farm is an Excellent Quality Building that can store food, produce farming tools, and reclaim arable land. With a Farm, the Peasants would have shelter and a stable source of Grain production.
Constructing one Farm requires 300 Magic Crystals and 2 units of Lumber and 2 units of Stone Material. The Resource Crystal Ten Consecutive Draw yielded Wu Feng 466 Magic Crystals, 6 units of Lumber, and 5 units of Stone Material, allowing him to build the Farm first.
"Building the Farm takes 2 hours, so the first Building in the Territory will be the Star Cluster Tower..."
