Chapter 41 - 41 Did you use up all the resources?
41 Did you use up all the resources?
It was going to be a sleepless night in the Academy. The new Overlord had broken the Academy’s record. As a new student, she had defeated the elite of the senior students and won the championship!
Some people cheered for Su Wan’s victory, while some were jealous of her capability.
Many different people have contrasting thoughts. The school had even arranged a dinner party to celebrate the success of the students who had gotten selected.
Su Wan, meanwhile, hurriedly left for the Overlord Plane.
Su Wan was impatient as she searched everywhere. She should have been with the thousands of people, enjoying the glory.
However, Su Wan didn’t want to stay at the Star Academy. She just wanted to share her joy with Xu Yuan.
After dealing with the teachers and students, Su Wan returned to the Overlord Plane.
In her own territory, she could see the Golden Behemoth, the Hellhounds, and the Skeleton Knights. But she couldn’t find Xu Yuan.
‘That lazy pig… doesn’t he usually sleep? Why isn’t he sleeping today like always? Did he go out for a walk?’
Su Wan walked around the territory. She didn’t see Xu Yuan anywhere. She realized that he might not be in the territory at all.
Usually, when she saw Xu Yuan sleeping soundly, she would feel annoyed. But now, when she didn’t see his snoring figure anywhere, she felt disappointed.
She felt empty, as if she had lost something.
“Where are you, Xu Yuan?” Su Wan looked at the night sky and called out softly.
At this moment, a black shadow appeared on the horizon. Twelve black energy balls were floating in the air, and the terrifying Demon Eye on his chest was burning with purple-black flames.
The dragon’s wings flapped gently, flying freely in the dark night sky.
“Xu Yuan?”
Although Su Wan knew that Xu Yuan looked like that now, she was familiar with him hiding these from her. She tried to ignore the new appearance. After seeing Xu Yuan like this, Su Wan felt a little shock in her heart.
Xu Yuan was definitely not a simple person!
Xu Yuan flew straight to her. ‘Wait, are we going to crash?’ Su Wan thought in alarm.
Su Wan was so scared that she stretched out her hand to block him. But in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
She heard his wings flapping. Su Wan turned to see Xu Yuan floating beside her.
“Xu Yuan!” she said. “Please let me see your attribute panels.”
Su Wan changed her usual elegant and cold appearance and asked him politely.
She wanted to look at his attribute panel to see what Xu Yuan’s actual state was. But Xu Yuan only yawned.
He seemed to be sleepy. He laid on the soft blanket back in the territory and went to sleep.
The more he ignored her, the more she wanted to find out who Xu Yuan actually was. She wanted to see what race he was and what kind of ability he had.
‘This bastard is definitely not simple!’
Su Wan didn’t want to give up until she could pry out the secret from Xu Yuan’s mouth. But very quickly, something happened that diverted Su Wan’s attention.
Su Wan noticed that the Skeleton Soldiers were dying slowly. On closer inspection, she realized that they weren’t dying, they were being upgraded into Skeleton Knights. ‘How is this happening?’ she wondered.
Su Wan checked and found out that the Territory Hall was constantly using resources to create troops. Su Wan tried to rule out the obvious. The troops under her command did not have the authority to operate the Territory Hall.
Secondly, she excluded herself. She had never done anything like that. ‘I was planning to save the resources to make Black Gold Behemoths.’
“Xu Yuan? Did you use up all the resources?”
After Su Wan eliminated all the wrong guesses, there was only one remaining truth.
‘It’s him!’
When Xu Yuan heard Su Wan’s question, he acted sheepish. Xu Yuan neither acknowledged nor denied it. In reality, it was his doing.
Under the effect of Night Shift, and the experience he had accumulated because of the tournament, Xu Yuan’s level rose rapidly. In just a short time, he had reached Level 29 and was just about to reach Level 30.
But there was a problem. Su Wan’s Territory Core was still Level 1.The current upper limit that Xu Yuan could reach was just Level 29. He could not make a breakthrough to Level 30.
He could only upgrade further if Su Wan’s Territory Core reached Level 2. He was stuck at this level no matter how much experience he gained. That was the reason why he had gone out to fly.
This was the first time Xu Yuan had not continued sleeping but went out for the first time. Xu Yuan looked at the panel of the Territory Core.
[Territory Core Upgrade Requirements]
[Land area reaches 0.4 square kilometers (Achieved)]
[Total resources reach 100 tons (Achieved)]
[Possess five buildings (Incomplete)]
[Population has reached 2000 (Not Yet Achieved)]
“There are still two projects that haven’t been completed,” Xu Yuan muttered to himself.
He needed to meet the four requirements listed above in order to upgrade the Territory Core to Level 2.
The overall number of resources and the land area had long since reached the desired target.
The construction issue was likewise simple to resolve. The population of 2000 was the only challenge.
The only soldiers that could be produced in vast numbers quickly and with minimum resource usage were the Skeleton Soldiers.
This was also the rationale behind Xu Yuan’s unauthorized creation of a large number of Skeleton Soldiers.
All of these skeleton troops were created to increase the population of the land and occupy the available space to meet the requirement.
‘If the Lord knew about this, she might stop me from doing anything,’ thought Xu Yuan.
He knew that Su Wan had been “scammed” by him before, so if she knew that he was trying to upgrade the Territory Core to Level 2 without her permission, she might really kill him this time.
Maybe if he showed her his attribute panel to her, then maybe she would be willing to upgrade the Territory Core to Level 2.
However, Xu Yuan had never discussed it with Su Wan and began to produce Skeleton Soldiers.
“Xu Yuan! Are you even listening to me?! What’s the point of making so many Skeleton Soldiers?”
Su Wan had already forgotten about Xu Yuan’s mysterious powers. She was only aware of Xu Yuan being a scammer. It made her blood pressure rise yet again.
Even under her thunderous gaze, Xu Yuan appeared calm. He didn’t justify but showed her through his actions.
Under Xu Yuan’s command, the Skeleton Soldiers moved in an orderly manner and marched outside. The sound of trees being cut, and ores being mined rang through the air.
