“As for you… you shall be called Haisewei!”
Upon hearing their names, the ten murmured softly, each ultimately satisfied with the name they received.
“Thank you, Master, for bestowing these names!”
Xiang Tiange nodded. With so many subordinates now, he found himself surprisingly idle.
Just then, more information appeared in Xiang Tiange’s mind.
It was a new function of the System.
“You all go about your tasks. I need to rest!”
After saying this, he sat down on the ground by himself.
In Xiang Tiange’s mind, several boxes appeared. ↙
[Trading], [Chat], [Player Information], [Warehouse].
Xiang Tiange glanced at them and suddenly felt interested in the [Chat] and [Trading] channels.
As the names implied, Trading was naturally a place for buying and selling, though there was nothing available at the moment.
Thinking about it, it made sense—the game had just started, so how could there be anything to trade?
On the other hand, the [Chat] channel was bustling with activity.
Most of the ten million people who had crossed over with him were utterly bewildered.
“Holy crap, I… I just crossed over like that? My instant noodles!”
“Is this really just a game? Who has such immense power to transfer ten million people at once?”
“Wahhh, I miss my mom. Mom, I want to go home!”
“Oh my god, this place is terrifying. I actually encountered a snake as thick as two people hugging! I almost fainted. Luckily, it seemed like it couldn’t see me, or I’d have become fertilizer already.”
“Same here! I also ran into a giant wild boar. Those tusks scared me to death…”
Message after message kept refreshing in the chat channel, making Xiang Tiange’s head spin.
They were all irrelevant, similar messages.
But Xiang Tiange now understood that the outside world was dangerous.
There were pythons as thick as two people hugging, wild boars the size of millstones, giant lizards like dinosaurs, and wild dogs, wolves, and so on—too many types to count.
Some even posted pictures, providing evidence with visuals.
Just their sheer size was enough to scare anyone to death.
After browsing for a while, Xiang Tiange closed the channel.
Since he had arrived in this peculiar game world, he had no choice but to immerse himself in playing it.
While reading the chat messages, Xiang Tiange also noticed some people showing off their subordinates.
There were all kinds of races, truly deserving of the term “Myriad Races.”
Skeleton frames, wolves, Beast Race, Stone Race, Angels, Titan Race, and so on—too numerous to list.
Moreover, every player had only a single Troop Type.
No one had obtained two Troop Types simultaneously.
Xiang Tiange even specifically asked if anyone had reached level 10, only to be mercilessly mocked.
Without exception, everyone started at 1 star.
Some were even at level 0.
Only Xiang Tiange had two Troop Types: Undead Warriors and the Elven Race.
Especially the Elven Queen, who was actually level 10!
Even though her strength was impaired and limited, she far surpassed other level 1 Troop Types.
In this regard alone, Xiang Tiange had already surpassed many others, not to mention the other Elves he had.
“Could it be that my System is more special than others?” Xiang Tiange wondered but didn’t dare to voice it aloud.
Gathering his thoughts, Xiang Tiange prepared to assign tasks to his ten subordinates.
After all, one month wasn’t particularly long or short—he had to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if his Territory was breached, the game would be over.
But as soon as he turned around, Xiang Tiange was stunned.
Because the previously barren surroundings suddenly began to sprout plants, turning lush and green all around.
[Ding, Territory Land Reclamation successful, Points +1000!]
Xiang Tiange was stunned—were Points this easy to earn?
“What’s this?” Xiang Tiange looked at the ten busy figures, at a loss.
Within the Territory, under Haisewei’s direction, the five Undead Warriors had become laborers, while the Elves used their Elven Magic to visibly accelerate the growth of the plants.
“Master.” Noticing Xiang Tiange’s gaze, Haisewei gave a slight nod.
Her flawless face and figure, combined with her alluring voice, inevitably stirred one’s imagination.
“Did you all do this?”
Haisewei nodded.
“Yes, Master’s Territory needs to expand and strengthen, and it also requires a large amount of Points. These lands are the best treasure troves for earning Points. Planting useful vegetation here will bring you many benefits,” Haisewei explained.
“Farming for Points?” Xiang Tiange was slightly surprised—he had never considered this. “Yes, this world is special. Anything cultivated can earn Points and can also be traded for even more Points. It’s a win-win.”
“So that’s how it works!” Xiang Tiange’s eyes lit up—this was indeed a path to prosperity.
“This idea is great!”
Seeing Xiang Tiange’s satisfaction, Haisewei continued her explanation.
“Our Elf Clan excels in plant-related skills, and cultivation is one of them. Those four are not combat-type warriors; they are best suited for managing these tasks.”
Haisewei’s words made Xiang Tiange even more pleased.
“Excellent. From now on, I’ll entrust the management of the Territory to you!”
Upon hearing this, Haisewei revealed a captivating smile.
“Yes, Master. Haisewei will not fail your trust!!”
The four Elves and five Undead Warriors continued working diligently.
In just half a day, the central area of the Territory had become lush and verdant, with numerous plants growing.
Moreover, there were flowers, grasses, trees, fruits, vegetables, and other vegetation.
This delighted Xiang Tiange.
Especially since, as these plants grew, Xiang Tiange’s Points began to skyrocket.
From nothing, his Points suddenly reached 2,000!
“Master, our energy is exhausted. We can’t continue accelerating growth today!” The four Sprites gasped for breath, their faces pale, which made Xiang Tiange’s heart ache.
“Good girls, save some strength for next time.”
As he spoke, he gently patted the heads of the four Sprites.
The touch was pleasant.
The four Sprites also seemed to enjoy it, showing no sense of unfamiliarity with Xiang Tiange.
“Is there any way to help you recover?”
Haisewei stepped forward.
“They are Elemental Sprites. They can recover automatically by absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. If you wish to help them, Master, you could acquire an Ancient Elven Tree for them. It would also enhance their strength.”
“Ancient Elven Tree?” Xiang Tiange murmured, then searched for it in the Lord’s Store.
Soon, he found it and was utterly stunned.
“What the… how many zeros is that? One trillion Points…”
Xiang Tiange clicked his tongue in disbelief.
“The Ancient Elven Tree is a divine tree of heaven and earth, extremely precious. It’s not surprising that it costs so many Points. However, Master, you don’t need to buy a fully grown tree. Just a seed will suffice. I can nurture it to grow slowly, and one day it will become a towering tree,” Haisewei explained, seeing his reaction.
“Seed?” Xiang Tiange searched again.
This time it wasn’t so exaggerated.
10,000 Points—though still a lot—was something he could grit his teeth and afford.
“The seed can be bought, but we’ll have to wait a few days,” Xiang Tiange said.
Then, he looked at the five Undead Warriors.
“Do you five still have the strength to fight? If so, go grind monsters and earn some Points.”
The five nodded.
“We’re fine, we can fight!”
Haisewei also spoke up.
“The characteristic of the undead is their astonishing recovery ability. Even if severely wounded and near death, with limbs severed, they can quickly regrow. Fighting is the fastest way to improve their strength!”
“Good, then go ahead. But don’t stray too far from the Light Barrier—I don’t want anything to happen to you,” Xiang Tiange nodded.
“Yes, Master!”
With that, the five of them headed out together beyond the Light Barrier.
