The castle garden was shaded by trees, and the sun shone through the treetops.

  Tang Yu raised his head and looked at the majestic castle in the distance. The change was not significant, except that the outskirts and bell towers and other buildings have been added, the main body has also been elevated, and the general layout remains unchanged. But Tang Yu knew that with every upgrade, the castle’s outer walls, internal facilities, etc., were also upgraded. The most notable thing was to become stronger.

  Someone once broke into the castle and wrestled with the beasts of the changing statues. Not only did they not break the skin of the stone carvings, but they were also unable to cause damage to the corridors. A huge fireball smashed down and was likely to be directly absorbed by the red carpet.

  In this regard,

  The castle garden was weaker, and Tang Yu still remembered that he tried to mess up the garden many times.

  “However, it may also be because I am too strong.”


  Touching his chin, he was sure that was the case.

  Looking around, he also noticed the changes in the garden.

  In the vision of the “eye of insight,” certain gorgeous plants were full of primordial qi. The roots, stems, flower buds and other parts of the plants, although they were tiny, were actually flowing with energy.

  ‘It is a source plant!’


  ‘It seems that I can’t do damage in the garden at will in the future.’


  Tang Yu squatted in front of a green flower bud plant and observed carefully.

  Its rhizome was very thin, the buds were round like a human face, and a few petals were very long, swaying in the wind like a dandelion.

  Tang Yu stretched out his fingers and poked lightly, the bulging buds sunken, like small dimples.

  A few long and wide petals shrank back, wrapping the stamen tightly… Why did Tang Yu feel that the buds were shy?

  ‘An illusion must be an illusion.’


  Not all plants in the garden have become source plants. At present, it seems that there were only a few of them, and their role was unclear. After all, after analyzing the “eye of insight”, he has concluded that they were not edible.

  It was far inferior to the crystal jade rice that can increase cultivation progress by eating it.

  ……


  The upgrade of the territory, except for the people who stayed in the castle, who could feel the changes around them.

  Now checking the conditions for the next upgrade.

  Level 4 and Level 7 were both at the same barrier, which Tang Yu felt would be a little different.

  “The territorial fit reaches 80%.”


  “Collect 10 million units of nen energy.”


  “Owns 80 million units of source crystal.”


  The conditions were not unexpected. He initially thought it would need to reach 100%.

  ‘Condition two…’


  Lord Tang blinked.

  ‘What the hell is nen energy? Mindpower? Obviously not.’


  First, he flipped through the message record and only displayed “Enable Mind Collecting Function”, and then nothing. Sure enough, he couldn’t expect a system wizard with a soft voice from the sand sculpture system… After thinking about it, he was probably not used to it.

  Switching from the main page to the building panel, personal panel, message panel…Finally, a new interface has appeared.

  [Nen energy interface.]

  Once opened, empty.

  There was only one nen energy value, 96.739… (13 decimal points omitted). The value was constantly beating. After a while, it has already exceeded the 100-point mark.

  And a million points required, only a word gap.

  “What is this?”


  A lifelike topographic map of the territorial landform came to mind.

  It couldn’t be compared with the mysterious feeling just now, but it was much clearer than before, and it could even be closer to see the figures coming and going in the commercial area.

  The appearance was still very vague, but the yellow or green light on everyone’s head was particularly clear.

  From time to time, some tiny light particles could still be seen, emerging from the human body, flying upwards, and disappearing into a dark space somewhere.

  “This… should be Nen energy.”


  Tang Yu noticed that light particles could be large or small, but only people with a green light above their heads have thoughts.

  Gradually, he realized something.

  Nen energy is similar to the power of belief, which he knew was produced by all beings.

  The difference was that the generation of nen energy does not require prayer. It only requires the survivors to have a sense of identity with the territory and to be within the scope of the territory… It was a passive generation method.

  Every ordinary person in the Tree Shade could produce approximately 0.1 units of nen energy per day.

  And more for the hunters.

  At present, there are more than 100,000 ordinary people in the territory. It seems that only ordinary people can collect 10,000 units of mind energy in a day, but this was not the case.

  Among the light spots of many representatives, seven points were green, three points were yellow, and there were a small amount of red and blue dots (representing allies), and the shade of green was light green, medium green, dark green…mostly Ordinary People’s sense of identity with the territory lies between light green and medium green.

  Only the early survivors, who have received greater help from the territory, or those who were more likely to be grateful, could achieve dark green.

  “With the addition of tens of thousands of permanent hunter, about 20,000 units of nen energy can be collected in one day, 1 million units, that is fifty days… long, too long!”


  Tang Yu didn’t consider whether he could increase his territorial fit to 80% within 50 days. He only knew that 20,000 units a day were too few.

  Whether it is Source Crystal or Nen energy, he wanted to become a man with hundreds of thousands of daily income.

  “Nen energy currently has no way to use it, but if you save it anyway, you can probably use this special energy in the seventh-level territory.”


  ……


  His eyes opened.

  Tang Yu saw the bulging flower bud floating in the air, several petals spinning like a propeller.

  As if perceiving his gaze, the flower bud floated away. It fell among the distant flowers, concealing his figure with the help of dense flower clusters.

  He clutched and refused to come out.

  Tang Yu: “…”


  ……


  After the territory was upgraded, the first thing was to upgrade the core buildings, such as the tavern.

  Not much has changed. The tavern has nine more contract spots, plus the two remaining before, and a total of eleven followers can be added.

  After Tang Yu summoned an ordinary b-level fighter casually, after thinking about it, he decided not to make a contract.

  There was no shortage of staffing in the territory at present, and unless a mortal could be summoned, the high-end combat power of the territory could be improved.

  However, Nancy’s time was an accident, and Tang Yu felt that he would not be able to draw the golden rare even if he tried ten more consecutive draws.

  “Perhaps we can contract the followers of Great Perfection Awakening and let them break through the common…”


  This idea lingered for a moment but was also denied by Tang Yu.

  Anyone who could break through without wanting to make a breakthrough, qualifications, luck, and resources were indispensable.

  For level b or above, the qualifications were not bad. He could be selected from the Ganges Sands and become a member of the follower.

  But resources were limited.

  It was impossible for Tang Yu to use most of his resources to cultivate new followers while ignoring the veterans who followed him all the way.

  Luo Zhe, Hui Ren, Kong, and Winnie made great contributions. They are also the twelve-level peak or thirteen-level, not far from Great Perfection. Tang Yu hopes that they will all be out of the ordinary in the near future.

  And Hongyue, Gretel, and Tyronn have achieved great success and were hitting the bottleneck again and again in their training.

  There was still a long way to go.

  These the data consumed every day was hard to count, and Yi Lian and Nancy, who need more training resources, high-purity source crystals, and crystal corn, have never been truly satisfied.

  It does not rely on foreign objects but only runs the cultivation method to inhale and breathe the source energy. But even if the earth’s source gas concentration was high, Naked Cultivator wants to break through the ordinary; I don’t know how long it will take… it may not be able to break through for decades!

  Source crystal wasn’t meant to be spent on prostitution pubs.

  But every time the territory was upgraded, it was necessary to try it out.

  Thinking about it, Tang Yu entered the system market.

  From the outside, the sixth-tier market looks like a small shop. When you walk into it, you can feel it has expanded a lot. There were three shelves, one in the front and two vertically on both sides of the store.

  There were sixty commodity fields in total.

  After the market upgrade, with a free refresh benefit, Tang Yu glanced at it.

  He ignored ordinary resource packs, but after the fourth-tier market, there was a probability that special resource packs, including special metals, rare woods, etc., would spawn.

  Tang Yu bought all the special material resource packs.

  Refresh again.

  …


  Special resource packs and blueprints, buy!

  …


  Skill runes, buy!

  …


  Purchased items with special effects!

  …


  Most of them were small items. Tang Yu glanced at them and bought them decisively as long as the prices were not too high.

  The market has been refreshed fifty times in less than an hour, and the space ring was full of various commodities.

  These commodities couldn’t provide qualitative help to the territory, but they could still have considerable value in some areas.

  Blueprints…Even if they were garbage, they could be used to study and broaden your mind.

  Skill runes…Increase the skill reserve of the territory, create skills for the magic research institute, and provide ideas.

  There were also some special props… For example, the master key that could open most door locks, the pointer pinpointing to the high-density area of ??Origin Qi, and the constant temperature badge that can be worn on the body to be warm in winter and cool in summer…


  Although it doesn’t help much in combat, it could play a big role if you know how to use it in some cases.

  It’s not expensive anyway, so it’s okay to buy it.

  Tang Yu still has the urge to disassemble and study the internal structure, but after thinking about it, he can’t put it back, so don’t spoil it.

  Refresh again.

  Tang Yu caught a glimpse of a blueprint with a price of 10,000 yuan in the cabinet on the left. Without even thinking about it, his mind-controlled it and bought it directly.

  “Ding! Your balance is insufficient, please place enough source crystals in the warehouse in time…”


  “Ding! Your balance is insufficient…”


  “Ding!……”


  What? What?

  Tang Yu looked dumbfounded. Isn’t it just 10.000 source crystals? How?!

  He opened the system panel and looked at the source crystal stock at the bottom, and it also showed the remaining 3 million.

  “I said it’s impossible… Wait, the unit listed above can only be purchased by a high-purity source crystal?!!!”


  A blueprint of 10,000 high-purity source crystals!

  Outrageous!

  He didn’t look closely at first and quickly walked to the cabinet where the blueprints were placed. Information about the blueprints emerged immediately.

  【Nightmare Puppet (3/3)】


  Combat power: top-notch.

  Material: 1 piece of soul crystal, 10 units of Dream Water, 200 units of Moiré Fine Gold, 1000 units of Mithril,…


  Remarks: Nightmare Puppet Blueprint is one of the core materials required for manufacturing. It can only be used three times. Once the Nightmare Puppet Blueprint is purchased, the market will have a higher probability of showing Nightmare Cloak, Nightmare Scythe and Dire suits such as nighmare car, nightmare treasure, etc…


  Looking at the various introductions on the puppet’s blueprints, Tang Yu was lost in thought.
