"It's alright." Su Ye looked at the resource cards he had obtained and put them all into the territory's warehouse.
Then, Su Ye opened his private chat with Little Merchant and directly applied for a trade.
Little Merchant agreed instantly.
Su Ye directly transferred two thousand origin crystals; debts must be repaid, after all.
"Still 45,000 origin crystals short." Su Ye closed the private chat.
There was still one sss-rank abyss difficulty score treasure chest left.
Su Ye looked at the treasure chest before him and couldn't help but wonder if he was exploiting a bug. Then he shook his head; exploiting a bug also required strength.
Without strength, even if you wanted to exploit it, you couldn't.
[Ding: Do you want to open the sss-rank abyss difficulty score treasure chest?]
"Open it." Su Ye looked at the score treasure chest before him with anticipation.
The system notification sounded.
[Ding: You have obtained troop refresh recruitment card X1]
[Ding: You have obtained barracks upgrade card X1]
[Ding: You have obtained troop promotion card X1]
[Ding: You have obtained faith statue blueprint X1!]
"What is this!!!" Su Ye looked at the items he had opened from the treasure chest.
There was no need to say much about the troop refresh recruitment card and the barracks upgrade card; their functions were clear.
troop promotion card: Can increase the rank of troops at or below the tenth rank!!
This thing was an extremely precious existence for lords, even though it could only increase the rank of troops at or below the tenth rank.
But if you had a tenth-rank troop, you could completely upgrade it to the Sanctuary rank.
The only restriction was that it couldn't be used for troops above the tenth rank, but that was enough. If used well, it was basically getting a Sanctuary rank troop for free.
"A pity it's useless for me." Su Ye looked at the golden troop promotion card in his hand. His troops were all God-level, so he couldn't use it at all.
If this item were put up for auction, it would definitely fetch an astronomical price. Basically, no one would sell it, as it represented a Sanctuary rank troop.
Its value was self-evident.
"I'll keep it for now and decide later." Su Ye put it away. It wasn't very useful for him, but for other lords, this thing was arguably the most useful item a lord could have.
Even those god lords wouldn't mind having an extra Sanctuary rank barracks under their command.
troops above the tenth rank, especially Hero Units, have the hope of reaching the God-level. This refers to the level, not the rank—that is, becoming a god.
Of course, there was hope; as for how much hope, that was hard to say.
Su Ye looked at the last item opened from the sss-rank abyss difficulty score treasure chest. Although it wasn't a unique wonder or a unique Secret Treasure...
...its value was not inferior to a unique wonder or a unique Secret Treasure at all.
faith statue!!
The function of this thing was simple: to collect faith.
This was related to the loyalty of the troops. Loyalty could be converted into the lord's faith, but the prerequisite was a receiver.
The faith statue was this receiver.
If without this receiver, a lord would not be able to directly use the power of faith.
Unless they were a god.
Gods didn't need faith statues because they could directly absorb faith and use the power of faith themselves.
But lords could not.
A lord's strength was insufficient to directly absorb or use the power of faith, so they needed such a collector.
In the Lord World, the faith statue was also called the Godhood Statue. In other words, once you had this thing, you had already opened the path to godhood.
If becoming a lord was the beginning of the path to godhood, then with a Godhood Statue, your path to godhood was already successful. All that remained was to collect faith step by step, convert it into divine power, ignite the divine fire, condense a godhead, and open a divine kingdom.
Su Ye took the faith statue blueprint in his hand and checked what materials were needed for the faith statue.
Name: faith statue
Requirements: Wood 1M, Stone 1M, Iron Ore 1M, Copper Ore 1M, Steel 100k, Silver 100k, Mithril 100k, Gold 100k, White Jade 100k, Lord's Blood X1, origin crystal 1M, gold coins 10M
PS: Faith collector, the path to godhood has opened. There are no enemies before us!!
Su Ye silently put away the faith statue blueprint.
Damn it, everyone says the faith statue is a Godhood Statue, but they didn't say the price was so high. The cheapest material in there is probably the Lord's Blood.
The so-called Lord's Blood was just Su Ye's blood; one drop was enough. Its main purpose was to recognize its master and mold the Godhood Statue into Su Ye's shape.
As for the other material requirements, Su Ye's heart trembled just looking at them. It was so damn expensive.
But should he build it? He definitely would, but not now. First, Su Ye didn't have that much money, and although his resources were sufficient except for White Jade...
...don't forget that Su Ye is only at the black iron rank right now, and becoming a god is still a long way off. This thing looks good, but in reality? It's also good, but Su Ye can't use it yet. Even if he built it, it would only be for collecting faith.
For other lords, collecting faith was difficult. After all, troop loyalty was truly hard to manage. According to the conversion ratio of loyalty to faith power in the Lord World...
...a troop with 60 loyalty can provide 1 point of faith power per day, 70 loyalty provides 2 points, 80 loyalty provides 5 points, 90 loyalty provides 10 points, and 100 loyalty provides 100 points.
The difference between 100 loyalty and 99 loyalty is only one point, but they are completely different. What does 100 loyalty mean?
It means that even if Su Ye does something excessive, the troops under him will be willing—fanatically willing—without any hesitation.
Even if the matter causes them great harm.
But while ninety-nine points of loyalty is loyal, in a word, loyalty that isn't absolute is absolute disloyalty. That one-point difference is worlds apart.
Moreover, Su Ye's troops have constant loyalty that doesn't drop. This is a fundamental difference.
Other lords need to provide good food and drink to serve their troops, but with Su Ye, it's completely reversed: the troops under Su Ye's command provide good food and drink to serve him. This is the difference; this is the gap.
"Let's put the matter of the faith statue aside for now. There's no way at the moment anyway. White Jade is considered a high-level material. While it's possible to get it now, the quantity is far from enough," Su Ye thought slowly.
Then he turned his gaze to Dawn Moon. One must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
The origin crystals and gold coins for the faith statue alone are a long way off. Instead of hoarding materials and saving money to build something currently useless, it would be better to first build Dawn Moon's exclusive building.
The Science and Technology Research Institute was the hen that could continuously lay golden eggs in his hands, provided he also invested a large amount of resources.
