Chapter 71 - 71 Unique and Special Building
71 Unique and Special Building
“What are you planning this time?”
Xu Yuan was just waking up from his dream when he noticed Su Wan’s unwavering gaze on him.
“Xu Yuan,” she said again. “Are you planning anything more? Do you want to share it with me?”
Su Wan was extremely interested to hear about his plan. Her intuition told her that Xu Yuan was very resourceful and that he wasn’t just a trickster. Su Wan was often duped by him. However, she realized that there had always been a series of plans behind every trick that worked out in her favor.
Xu Yuan was a bit uncomfortable with Su Wan’s sharp gaze. He instinctively shook his head to deny everything.
“Don’t you deny it,” she firmly said. “I heard what you said while you were dreaming.”
Su Wan’s words made Xu Yuan hesitate. He had dreamed about things related to his upcoming plan. He had been drowsy when Su Wan had called his name, so he had blurted out things related to his plan. However, Xu Yuan couldn’t remember clearly what exactly he had said.
He didn’t know how much Su Wan knew about his plan from the things he had blurted out, so he still hesitated. Su Wan used her last trump card. “If you tell me about your plan,” she said. “I will get you a big, soft bed.”
Su Wan went all out. In the Overlord Plane, certain items could be bought and traded. However, it wasn’t as convenient as getting things on the Blue Planet. The transportation of these items was very inconvenient, so the transportation fee of sending them through space was outrageously high.
Su Wan had offered him a deal that he couldn’t refuse. He looked at the blanket on the floor. The image of a soft bed filled his mind.
‘I am the ruler of darkness, and yet I only have this useless blanket,’ thought Xu Yuan. He decided to reveal his plan to Su Wan.
“Do you see the Soul Altar?” Xu Yuan pointed at the Soul Altar that was still being built.
Su Wan looked at it. ‘As expected, this b*stard never does things without a reason!’
She studied the effects and benefits of Soul Altar in detail. Su Wan immediately studied the effects of The Altar of the Dead in detail.
“Non-allied creatures killed within the territory can reincarnate through the filthy earth to become part of the Army,” read Su Wan.
Her breath came out in hurried gasps. The effects of the Soul Altar were nature-defying. During development as a Lord, recruiting troops was of the utmost importance. The attributes of the Initial Hero affected the Territory Core, and so did the other troops.
It was exceedingly difficult to obtain Light Attribute Soldiers, Fore Attribute Soldiers, and others. Some Overlords could only obtain one type of elemental attribute troops in their entire lives!
In addition, it was tough to find special and powerful troop types like the Gold Behemoths and the Hellhounds. If Su Wan had developed as a Lord by ordinary means, it would be impossible for her to acquire such powerful troop types.
With the Soul Altar, Su Wan didn’t need to work so hard and put so much effort into unlocking new and powerful troop types. They only needed to lure the enemy’s troops into their territory and kill them. These troops would then become their own!
“Xu Yuan, the Soul Altar sounds so different,” said Su Wan. She had never heard of something like that. “Is it a unique building that only belongs to us?”
Su Wan deliberately used “us”. She had already started thinking of the two of them as one entity. The territory, therefore, wasn’t just hers but also belonged to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan didn’t know much about the rules that were in place in the Overlord Plane. “A unique building? Aren’t all the buildings fixed in the Overlord Plane?”
Xu Yuan thought that every territory provided the same types of buildings that could be unlocked based on the Lord’s progress. However, Su Wan explained to him that the rules of the Overlord Plane were a lot different from what he had assumed.
“I have never seen this type of building before. I didn’t even find it in the textbooks. However, the textbooks do mention that some Lords have their own special building that is unique to their territory,” said Su Wan. “Although these unique buildings might have similar attributes to other buildings from other territories, nobody else can build the same ones unless they have the option for it in their territory.”
Su Wan was feeling ambitious. With such a building like the Soul Altar, acquiring powerful troop types would not be a problem any longer. With Xu Yuan’s auxiliary ability, the troops could be further strengthened. It would only be a matter of time before she developed into a Legendary Lord if all went well.
Su Wan was excited. She thought all her problems would be solved. Xu Yuan’s plan was to kill the enemy’s troops and convert them to their side!
However, at this moment, Su Wan had only one thing on her mind. She couldn’t stop wondering about how Xu Yuan would look in human form. Su Wan was concerned regarding the upgrade of the Territory Core.
She walked to the Territory Core to take a look. She made a new discovery. “Scammer Xu, why do I feel like your plan is not as simple as you make it out to be.” Su Wan squinted her eyes. A faint smile appeared on her face.
‘That sneaky b*stard!’ Su Wan felt like she had caught onto his tricks, at last.
“Last time, you created so many useless Skeleton Soldiers to upgrade the Territory Core to Level 2. This time you need to increase the population to 10000. I feel like the Soul Altar is not just for converting the enemy troops to our side, but also to reach the 10000 mark to upgrade the Territory Core to Level 3.”
Su Wan’s slender finger pointed at Xu Yuan. She looked proud to have unveiled his trick. She looked very confident, but Xu Yuan looked unfazed.
Xu Yuan tilted his head and yawned. He wasn’t interested in her speculations. He didn’t even bother confirming her guesses.
Su Wan had confidently analyzed the situation. She had thought that Xu Yuan would, at the least, look a little surprised, but that didn’t happen. He didn’t seem to care. Su Wan felt hopeless.
Su Wan felt a little embarrassed. She decided to study Xu Yuan’s actions on a deeper level to understand him. She didn’t believe that he was indifferent to everything.
