Su Ye walked on the grass with Talys.
"No wonder those second-generation lords are never in a hurry to Upgrade their lords heart; so that's why." Su Ye sighed. This is the reality for civilian lords.
Every step is a trap, and even he had fallen into one. If not for the dimensional gate, Su Ye would have to bite the bullet and open a bronze-grade otherdimensional world to develop now.
Not to mention the other ordinary lords.
"This is what inheritance means. Ordinary lords have no inheritance and are completely unaware of these things. Things that look insignificant, once you step into them, there is no turning back," Su Ye couldn't help but think.
Could Su Ye return to the black iron rank now? That was clearly impossible.
Su Ye glanced at the lords heart level leaderboard. None of them were second-generation lords; they were all ordinary lords frantically Upgrading their lords heart. The one in first place had already reached the Silver rank.
They didn't even know how to survive after the beginner period ended, let alone open a Silver-grade otherdimensional world.
"Damn it, these bastards, none of them are saying a word, right?" Su Ye curled his lip. In his studies, the knowledge regarding lords only covered faction classifications and the known preferences of troops.
As for the lords heart, there was basically nothing. Su Ye was certain that ordinary lords knew about it too, but no one was talking. It was incredibly annoying; everyone was keeping secrets.
They knew full well that Upgrading the lords heart was a trap, yet not a single person mentioned it.
Fine, fine, fine, if you won't say it, then I won't either.
Su Ye checked his inventory; he still had twelve barracks upgrade cards, which was still too few.
Although he had used a few barracks upgrade cards to Upgrade his level 2 barracks, there was a reason for it. On one hand, materials were too expensive right now; he couldn't afford them, and they weren't on the market. If Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't find them, could he?
It would be better to just pray that they open from a score treasure chest.
On the other hand, a level 3 barracks could unlock auras. Especially for his god-tier barracks, the auras it unlocked were insanely powerful. Su Ye saw no need to save a barracks upgrade card while waiting for materials.
Auras permanently buffed his troops. The auras from Su Ye's barracks either boosted strength or added a resurrection armor; either way, it was a win.
Even the worst one, the Supreme Protocol technology aura, was still a god-tier aura that increased research and production speeds.
This was why Su Ye was so willing to spend them.
Haven't you noticed? Forget about these precious materials; even things like troop refresh recruitment cards are hard to purchase now.
Up until now, even with Lin Xiaoxiao helping him purchase these cards, he hadn't found many sellers.
In the end, as time passed, these lords had established their footing and had stable incomes, so they were no longer selling their resources at rock-bottom prices.
Su Ye could only wait for now, waiting until the twentieth day when the lords began their final push for rankings; that was when resources would appear on the market.
To ensure their final rankings, most lords would frantically arm themselves at that time, and some resources that were useless to them would be sold off cheaply, all for the sake of the final ranking.
Lords at this stage were all hoarding resources, preparing for the final push starting on the twentieth day.
No one would sell their resources at a low price at this time.
That would be the time for Su Ye to truly reap the rewards.
As time passed, Su Ye sat on the grass with Talys.
Half an hour passed.
The troops in Su Ye's territory gathered together.
Kassilia and Alice had gone to the No. 2 Yellow Sand Zerg World to Upgrade, which of course included the new units recruited today.
The troops recruited in the past that had reached the Silver rank had returned; those that hadn't were still Upgrading in the No. 2 Yellow Sand Zerg World.
"System, start the Void Trial, difficulty: Abyss!" Su Ye's voice rang out.
Talys disappeared from behind Su Ye.
[Ding: Void Trial started, difficulty: Abyss! You have thirty seconds to prepare!!]
The system's notification sound rang out.
Endless blood-red mist gathered at the edge of Su Ye's territory.
Hideous creatures walked out from the blood-red mist and stepped into Su Ye's territory.
Su Ye narrowed his eyes as he watched these monsters.
There were hideous Deep Ones and writhing void creatures. Their levels hadn't changed much, but their numbers were increasing at a visible rate.
Su Ye sat on the grass, not worried in the slightest that these monsters would break through the blockade formed by Lilith and the others.
A figure appeared behind Su Ye.
Consort Liu!!
Consort Liu sat down beside Su Ye with a lazy look on her face.
"Emperor, can we build the Virus Research Institute today?" Consort Liu asked Su Ye.
"It should be fine. As long as there is enough glass, it shouldn't be a problem," Su Ye thought for a moment and said.
"Mm, in that case, I'll be able to help share the Emperor's burdens very soon," Consort Liu said with a charming smile.
"I really want to study these creatures," Consort Liu said, looking at the invading monsters in the distance.
"They should make excellent experimental material." Consort Liu had a charming smile on her face, but the words she spoke made Su Ye feel a bit creeped out.
Experimental material?!
What did Consort Liu do? She dealt with viruses.
The fate of her so-called experimental material wouldn't be very pleasant.
"Take it easy, just don't mess around too much," Su Ye said softly.
"Emperor, don't worry, I have it under control." Consort Liu smiled and started chatting with Su Ye.
As time passed.
One hour passed.
The system's notification sound rang out.
[Ding: Void Trial ended, evaluating...]
[Ding: Evaluation complete, battle losses 0, enemies killed 200,000, score: SSS]
[Ding: You have obtained an sss-rank abyss difficulty score treasure chest!]
"Were there 200,000 monsters invading today?" Su Ye looked at the corpses and flesh scattered everywhere, piled up like a mountain within his territory.
There were 50,000 more invading monsters than yesterday, which was acceptable. The main thing was that their levels hadn't changed much.
As for Lilith and the others, their levels had increased by one star. That's right, just one star. Being able to steadily increase by one star every day was a good thing for Su Ye.
As the troops improved, they might not be able to increase by even one star a day later on; insufficient resources were the most critical issue.
"But since their levels haven't changed, does that mean I can still Upgrade the lords heart a little?" Su Ye couldn't help but think.
If the lords heart level increased, the difficulty of the Void Trial would certainly increase as well.
The level of the monsters invading today hadn't increased, but their numbers had increased quite a bit. In that case, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to Upgrade his lords heart by one more level.
And Gold-grade monsters shouldn't appear yet either.
"Forget it, let's wait a bit. I'll see tomorrow. A day earlier or a day later won't make much difference," Su Ye thought as he looked at his territory.
I'll wait and see the intensity of tomorrow's Void Trial first.
