Su Ye stood in his territory, looking at the rift gate in front of him.
"Interesting, that world even has an intelligent Zerg, but it's useless. The entire world has been locked down by me. It's impossible to contact the outside world, let alone leave," Su Ye couldn't help but think.
The lockdown of the dimensional gate was no joke; it imprisoned time and space, effectively cutting off the world completely unless Su Ye gave up the lockdown.
Otherwise, to contact the outside or leave that world, one would need the strength to break this dimensional gate.
But if they had that strength, they wouldn't be cowering, preventing the other insects from attacking.
The Zerg!
Ordinary insects have no intelligence and no fear; they only follow orders. For those insects to be able to restrain their murderous nature...
...there was only one possibility: an intelligent insect existed in that world.
But it wasn't a big deal. Once the rift gate closed, Su Ye would have plenty of opportunities to deal with it slowly.
"Pangilia, send two dragons to guard this place. If any insects come out, kill them directly. Don't be polite," Su Ye said to Pangilia.
Pangilia nodded.
"The rest of you can disperse. Go do your own thing. There's no rush to explore this world," Su Ye said with a smile.
The assembled legion dispersed, and Su Ye walked toward the lords mansion at a steady pace.
Olides followed by Su Ye's side; the Dragon-Scaled Pegasus had already run off to play on its own.
With a thought from Su Ye...
"Subordinate Territory Gate, open!"
A gate of light emerged in front of Su Ye, and he stepped right in.
Olides followed closely behind.
Su Ye looked at his Attached Territory. Aside from the lords mansion, the entire territory was empty, a grassy world that could be seen from end to end at a single glance.
Generally, there are three types of subordinate territories. The first is like Su Ye's, where one happens upon a Attached Territory that hasn't completely perished and can be directly claimed.
The second type is directly attacking another lord's territory and seizing it entirely.
The third type is signing a contract with another lord to turn their territory into a subordinate one.
Su Ye's current territory was the first type, a lucky find derived from Su Ye's main territory. To put it simply, it was "reforged."
It had taken on Su Ye's "shape." Originally, the terrain of this territory might have been a forest or an ocean, but now it was grassland. Since Su Ye's territory was grassland, this was the result of the reforging.
Su Ye opened the Heart of the Territory and switched the territory panel to check.
Name: Unnamed
Level: 3
Area: 1,200 meters in diameter
Buildings: Subordinate Lords mansion
Warehouse: 120 square meters
Upgrade: Wood x300, Stone x300, origin crystal x30
...
"A loss." Looking at the territory's area, Su Ye realized he was still too late—or rather, a bit behind. This territory should have been at least Level 5 or 6 originally.
But now, half of it had collapsed. If he had been even a day later, it might have vanished completely.
"This territory shall be called 'Primary Productive Force'!" Su Ye thought for a moment and then decided on the name.
"In the future, the Tech-side factories will be placed here in the Attached Territory for production." Su Ye looked at the territory; besides a lonely Subordinate Lords mansion, there was nothing else.
"This way, after the novice period ends, I'll have an explanation and the best cover. I won't have to worry about others coming to my territory then." Su Ye became increasingly satisfied with this territory.
"It's decided. This place will serve as a high-tech industrial park in the future, named 'Primary Productive Force.' It wouldn't make sense not to have some factories."
Su Ye glanced at the Attached Territory and then returned to the main territory.
The gate of light closed.
Olides felt nothing. After all, subordinate territories did not benefit from any of Su Ye's wonders or term bonuses.
In other words, subordinate territories did not have things like Eternal Light or origin qi.
Not to mention those powerful terms. Therefore, for Olides, it was naturally best not to go to the Attached Territory if possible.
"Today's work is done. Comfortable. I can rest again. I'm so tired." Su Ye stretched and walked toward the Spirit Source Lake.
Olides followed behind Su Ye. Her armor vanished as she walked into the Spirit Source Lake with him.
...
In Ye Xiu's territory.
Ye Xiu looked at the thousands of Dragon-Slaying Brave troops he had accumulated.
With unprecedented confidence, he was sure he could break into the top ten in combat power during the novice period. At this moment, he was in high spirits.
Although he had laid low for ten years in his previous life, his combat power then was not as good as it was now.
The reason was that he had been a vegetable farmer lord for ten years, a lord who specialized in growing vegetables and fruits for powerful lords.
Ye Xiu looked at the troops he had gathered, a somber look in his eyes. "That guy should have developed advanced Robots by now. According to the timeline, it should be around this time."
"Should I go buy some Robots from him?" Ye Xiu fell into a dilemma.
For some reason, he hadn't opened a rift gate yesterday. He was only preparing to open one today, and before doing so, he needed to be prepared.
Otherwise, the final outcome would be hard to predict.
Buying some Robots to use as cannon fodder seemed like a pretty good idea.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Xiu gave up on the idea. On one hand, he planned to make Su Ye a Subordinate Lord; what would it look like if he went to buy things from Su Ye?
On the other hand, Su Ye might not even be willing to sell right now.
"Let it be." Ye Xiu looked at his Dragon-Slaying Brave legion. Just as he was about to open a dimensional rift, he suddenly thought of something.
He used gold coins to arrange three 6s on the ground!
"In the words of an Otherworld Traveler, this is the power of metaphysics. I heard that's how he first opened a rift gate and got a welfare dimensional world full of resources and no danger. I wonder if it works," Ye Xiu thought, looking at the 666 pattern.
Then he performed three prostrations and nine kowtows, bowing with a solemn expression.
"dimensional rift, open!!!"
A black iron dimensional rift gate appeared in front of Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu looked at the rift gate. Just as he was about to send the Dragon-Slaying Braves in to investigate, a scent of sulfur swept across his territory.
Terrifying demons crossed through the rift gate one by one, appearing in Ye Xiu's territory.
Ye Xiu's face turned ashen as he recalled Su Ye talking eloquently during an interview.
"Dammit, that bastard was talking nonsense. I actually believed his crap." Ye Xiu's expression grew uglier. Of course, he knew this had nothing to do with Su Ye; it was his own bad luck opening a rift gate that encountered these demons. But then again, rather than reflecting on oneself, it's better to blame others. Could Su Ye really be completely blameless in this?
Of course, although they were all Lesser Demons and Imps...
...the trouble was huge for Ye Xiu. The black iron ones were fine, but what about bronze demons?
"Shit!!!" Feeling a bit of heartache, Ye Xiu began to spam messages in the chat channel.
