Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 349: Chapter 351: Territory Traits – Shared Destiny

“Master, all the Terminator debris has been gathered, and the surroundings are now clean,” Blackhand came forward, holding a report in his hand.

At this moment, Qin Muye was examining the Territory Trait: Shared Destiny.

That’s right, he had returned to the Warlock Dynasty server, and there was a problem with time, the specific duration of absence being one hour.

Upon returning, Qin Muye was also quite baffled, and then he decided not to bother with it anymore. Time was too profound, beyond the reach of his current capabilities to explore.

Afterwards, of course, came the cleanup of various affairs, and he also had to receive dignitaries like Emperor Shen You. Only now had he found some leisure time to check his rewards.

With his return, event rewards naturally followed.

“Not in a hurry, open the Golden Treasure Chest, and remember to use the Luck Technique,” Qin Muye said as he tossed the Golden Treasure Box, which had been dropped by Heavenly Net, to Blackhand to unlock it.

Qin Muye himself continued to focus on the new Territory Trait.

[Shared Destiny: When we reach great heights, we must not abandon those who are loyal to us, as the glorious future of our Empire belongs to all our people]

Indeed, there were no Attributes, no numbers, just one sentence, which made Qin Muye somewhat puzzled, but it was clearly already in effect.

The Territory Traits given by “Lord Era” were not like those temporary Territory Traits Qin Muye had created using Divine Artifacts, with specific visual expressions, making Qin Muye feel somewhat helpless about how to evaluate this one.

But from the current perspective, it seemed to belong to something that consolidated Territories or subfactions, possibly also influencing the morale of the troops under his command, among other aspects.

“Does this mean that from Rank 7 onwards, the values start getting blurred?” Qin Muye couldn’t help but think.

“Or is it because I obtained it early and also from a high-difficulty event, that led to the unusual nature of the Territory Trait?” Qin Muye knew that things with values had limitations, but those described vaguely without values definitely held great potential.

While he was thinking, Blackhand had already opened the items.

“Master, two items were opened, one a Random Dungeon Scroll, the other an Epic Reclassification Certificate,” said Blackhand, then handed the items to Qin Muye.

“Two items, isn’t it normally just one?” Qin Muye was somewhat puzzled, but he didn’t suspect Blackhand since he had seen the objects himself, so how could they be fake?

The Epic Reclassification Certificate was named Dawn Mechanic, and its medium was a chip. Qin Muye had no intention of reclassifying himself but planned to let one of his Spirit Monsters reclassify after he had mastered its contents.

If he actually reclassified, would Qin Muye have to take over the job of manufacturing the mechanics for his subordinate?

He did have similar Profession Spirit Monsters under his command, but in terms of specialization, they certainly couldn’t compare to the Dawn Mechanic, especially since it was opened from a Heavenly Net’s Treasure Box.

Now, what Qin Muye needed to do was gradually transform his labor force from Skeleton Soldiers to Terminators.

Because of his current methods of slaughter, the original Soul Summoning Technique was almost ineffective.

Firstly, Soul Summoning Technique required a body, but under Qin Muye’s firepower, even the Terminators might not remain intact, let alone other life forms. And recently, the damages to his labor force had been severe, making the Rank 1 Skeleton Soldiers inadequate.

He originally thought about using the unlucky ones in Zion to restock, but blades and swords aren’t discriminatory, much less extensive firepower, they died leaving not even debris behind.

Plus, with the growth of various other measures in the future, the status of the Skeleton Soldiers as labor would also be optimized, as their Attributes were too poor for substantial work.

Therefore, Qin Muye was now keen on the Terminators.

Of course, not the Rank 7 or 8 ones but the standard original version of Terminators without the Spark Source or matrix, just simple working robots.

Now with the Dawn Mechanic, things had gotten even better.

“Anything else?” Qin Muye asked.

“Master, after the loot from the Heavenly Net Era, we have now exchanged all the Building Blueprints in the Points Store, and have also stockpiled a large number of Reclassification Certificates. I think we should enter an instance and develop it for about a decade to settle down and also allow you to advance your Rank,” Blackhand immediately suggested.

Qin Muye pondered for a moment; Blackhand made a lot of sense.

“It’s true that we have to consider that, but before proceeding, we need to test the Insect Race to be prepared,” Qin Muye said.

Having seen the consequences faced by the previous Emperor of Demon Machines, Qin Muye worried that if he were to exterminate the Insect Race, unforeseen issues might arise.

He always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

The Emperor of Demon Machines had a heaven-defying Rectification Agreement, so the Demon Insect Dominator must have something appropriate for the crisis of an Insect Race invasion, hence this Random Dungeon Scroll wasn’t only used for consolidation and development but also for escaping if their plans went awry.

Currently, his troops were at a Rank 7 battle capability, of course, this was merely battle power, not true rank, as most strength came from the Divine Artifact Mechas that Qin Muye could afford for each person. Without various treasures, the Spirit Monster’s power would only be peak Rank 6 in terms of fantasy realms, and still far from Rank 7.

If it weren’t for the Rectification Agreement and the necessity of compressing timelines, Qin Muye would have already taken action to annihilate all life in the Warlock Dynasty server.

After all, the existence of the Spirit Realm was merely the desires and emotions produced by life forms, so that was the only option.

As for the natives, what did their fate have to do with Qin Muye?

He wasn’t familiar with these otherworldly natives, so why should he consider their perspective?

“Then I’ll start preparing right away, and after that…”

“Hold off for now. I need to craft the Ocean Hat Divine Artifact Equipment. Without the enhancements from the ocean and cold climate, we can’t activate all our territory enhancements,” Qin Muye interrupted Hei Shou. Testing was right, but preparing properly was essential to success.

He had wanted to do so earlier, as the various enhancements from the Rich Ocean and the Extreme Cold Ice Land required specific environments to be effective, which was also a very strong aspect of his territory.

If he hadn’t been so busy, he would have researched this earlier.

“Also, go trade with the Great Nether Dynasty for a massive amount of building blueprints, Reclassification Certificates, treasures, and more, then use the arsenal to reap the next harvest quickly, hinting that we plan to take action against the Insect Race to quickly monetize,” Qin Muye thoughtfully continued.

If he didn’t monetize everything good from the Great Nether Dynasty now, he’d have to act against them after potentially resolving the Insect Race issue.

With his method of purging, how could anything be left behind?

So, it was fine to give up some benefits in exchange—they weren’t a big deal, anyway.

As long as it wasn’t something unique and irreplicable, he had no problems offering it to others, even if it was information on crafting Stone Statue Ghost Armor. Nobody but Qin Muye had the capability to produce such things.

Besides, even if someone did produce them, could they make it widely available like Qin Muye? That’s impossible, not everyone had the financial power like him.

Qin Muye’s financial power was built on a foundation of countless bones, not something any commercial empire could achieve.

Moreover, Qin Muye’s technological updates were extremely frequent; in just a few days, anything could become outdated.

“Yes, master, I will complete it as soon as possible,” Hei Shou estimated. It would take at least one to three months for Qin Muye to create the Ocean Hat Divine Artifact Equipment. He couldn’t predict specifically, as who knew when Qin Muye might become stronger?

“Hmm, get to it,” Qin Muye was confident in Hei Shou’s handling of affairs.

Once Hei Shou left, Qin Muye naturally started further research on the Ocean Hat, and with previous experience, he was naturally much more efficient now.

“Advanced knowledge, tsk, I wonder when I will truly be able to analyze Divine Artifacts.”

Qin Muye was quite curious about Divine Artifacts; the technology contained within them was not trivial, but he was still a bit lacking and needed to grow stronger.

Besides, regarding his own empowerment, Qin Muye had some ideas already.

He wanted to fulfill the old statement that ‘I am the state.’

That is, he wanted to fully reclaim any remaining permissions of the Endless Abyss left in ‘Lord Era’ and make the Endless Abyss a part of him.

Then it would be straightforward, his territory’s strength defined his own, a collective force converging into individual might—that was the path he was preparing to take.

Unfortunately, now wasn’t the time for that, he needed at least to be able to analyze Divine Artifacts and form permanent Territory Traits first, proving that he could intervene in the core permissions of the territory.
