He was not surprised that he was the first among all lords to upgrade his territory.
It had only been half a day since all the lords simultaneously descended upon the Primal Continent.
Everyone started from scratch. In such a short period, and under circumstances where they barely dared to leave their territories, how could anyone have gathered so many resources?
As for exchanging food for these supplies like he did, it was even more impossible.
The troop type under his command was unique, the only troop type, and the most powerful among all the lords on the Primal Continent.
If he couldn't gather food at the fastest speed, then who could?
Who else?!
However, being the first person among tens of billions of lords to upgrade his territory, yet receiving no benefits, made Xiao Mo depressed for quite a while.
In his previous gaming experience, wouldn't the first person to upgrade always get equipment drops, benefits, and the like? Why was there nothing like that here?
Alas! Games were rich in imagination, but reality was stark and lean!
He sighed dejectedly, but quickly adjusted his mindset.
Then, he remembered what the system prompt had said earlier about territory range and similar matters.
After upgrading to an intermediate territory, the territory range expanded outwards by one thousand meters.
This meant that the area within one kilometer radius, centered on the city, was his territory.
Xiao Mo actually understood the matters concerning territory range.
Territory, naturally, meant that everything within its boundaries belonged solely to the lord. Without the lord's consent, outsiders naturally could not act arbitrarily, nor could they enter or leave his territory without permission. Otherwise, as the lord, he had the power to punish or even kill.
Moreover, as the territory upgraded, the territory range could expand. A larger territory range was naturally better, and this was a good thing!
The only thing he didn't understand was this "initial prestige."
However, judging by the tone of the system prompt, good things never came in pairs. This "initial prestige" was certainly not a good thing.
Immediately, Xiao Mo made an inquiry.
[The area where this Immortal-Demon territory is located belongs to the Endless Abyss.]
[As for initial prestige, this is an achievement title derived from your territory being the first to upgrade and gaining cohesion and visibility!]
[The achievement titles of each territory within its area, from low to high cohesion and visibility, can be divided into Initial Prestige, Slight Accomplishment, Renowned, Famous Throughout the Land, World-Famous, World-Shaking...]
[The higher the lord's cohesion and visibility, the more likely they are to attract the attention of the major forces on the Primal Continent!]
[When cohesion and visibility reach a certain level, there's a chance to attract indigenous organizations on the Primal Continent to pledge allegiance to you!]
[Of course, there's a greater chance of attracting the attention of indigenous organizations, and even being attacked by these organizations and their alliances!]
"Damn it! I knew it! You wouldn't give me two good things at once!"
A greater chance of attracting the attention of indigenous organizations, and even being attacked by these organizations and their alliances!
Was this even a good thing? Wasn't it better to be low-key? Didn't they know that a tall tree catches the wind?
There was a chance for indigenous organizations and alliances to pledge allegiance to him...
Heh... That was impossible!
The Immortal-Demon territory only had initial prestige for now, and Xiao Mo was well aware of his own capabilities.
"Forget it, no more thinking about it! While the protection period is active, developing, building, and training troops is the right way!"
"If the Immortal-Demon territory is powerful enough, who cares about abyss beast tides or indigenous organizations? They'll all be trash!"
This was Xiao Mo's character. He was never defeated by difficulties. He would only face challenges with confidence and strive to overcome them.
Besides, with those who had a lower starting point than him still struggling and working hard, how could he afford to be lazy?
At the same time, the two battle soldiers hunting outside the territory simultaneously emitted a golden light and were promoted to Tier Five Low-grade.
After the promotion, the two battle soldiers' attacks became even fiercer and more ferocious.
At this moment, the magical beasts surrounding the territory were no match for the two battle soldiers.
Soon, a pile of various monster corpses was stacked in front of Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo was naturally adept at handling these corpses.
He collected and disassembled them one by one, storing the hides, beast teeth, and other materials into the warehouse. Da Feng Novel Network.
He set aside enough food collected for his own consumption, and listed the rest on the [Myriad Races Trading Platform] for exchange.
As for the Immortal-Demon Stones dropped, they were all stored in the warehouse.
Time ticked by, and after a full twelve hours, Xiao Mo's warehouse had accumulated 7900 units of wood and 5200 units of stone.
He possessed more than thirty Immortal-Demon Stones.
"Hmph, hmph... With another sixty-odd Immortal-Demon Stones and one Soul Crystal, I can upgrade the Immortal-Demon Reincarnation Pool! It's almost there!"
"But the amount of wood and stone needed to upgrade the territory to advanced level is quite a lot..."
As he thought about the materials required for another territory upgrade, Xiao Mo frowned slightly.
It seemed he still had to work harder!
Fortunately, these Immortal-Demon battle soldiers did not get tired even if they worked non-stop, so they would have to bear with it for now!
Tomorrow, he would reincarnate two more Immortal-Demon battle soldiers. With four people cooperating, the efficiency would surely double!
With this thought, Xiao Mo's heart was filled with anticipation.
Suddenly, the [World Chat Channel] interface flashed before Xiao Mo's eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was a line of large characters flashing with crimson light.
[Emergency Announcement! Emergency Announcement! Special Notification for the Primal Continent!]
[Tonight, a five-star alignment celestial phenomenon, the Quiet Night, will occur. A vast, dark, and violent force will sweep across the entire continent. All living beings on the continent, except for magical beasts, will be affected to varying degrees, causing their strength to be infinitely suppressed! PS: Some berserk or dark-attribute troops are not affected!]
As this emergency announcement came out, the entire World Chat Channel erupted.
[Damn it! Our troops' strength is suppressed, but the magical beasts are unaffected? Is this trying to kill us?]
[Who says not? My initial troop is a weakling before it grows. Its strength is even more suppressed. Is this a death game?!]
[La la la... I'm not afraid! The one I summoned is Berserk King Kong. The impact of this bit of violent energy is like a sprinkle of water to me!]
[I'd rather believe in ghosts than believe that nonsense from the poster above! If you have the guts, take your Berserk King Kong out and show me now?]
[Abyss Demon Beasts: Thank you everyone for the offerings. We can have a full meal tonight!]
[Hahaha... Hiccup! Oh! I'm so full, finally have food. I don't need to go out tonight!]
[But my Earth Bear eats too much and can't keep up with the demand! Qianmo, do you have any more food? I'll exchange the wood I just collected for it...]
[Let me butt in, do you guys think Qianmo will go out hunting tonight?]
[I'll butt in too! I feel like Qianmo will also chicken out!]
[Then I'll butt in after you. I think a big shot like Qianmo wouldn't take this celestial phenomenon seriously!]
[Come, come, let me butt in too...]
...
Seeing this, Xiao Mo was speechless.
Weren't you guys discussing the celestial phenomenon? Why did it turn to me again?
Even if it was about me, you guys didn't build a floor, you just started a convoy!
Xiao Mo couldn't help but sigh at the sky.
What a bunch of beasts who didn't understand but acted like they did...
