Day seven!
Waking up, Zhou Zhou stared at the lady lying beside him before bringing his gaze to the top of the tent.
'Although, the night was amazing, the notion of love just isn't for me.'
He thought as his mind replayed the scene that occurred last night.
[Countdown: 23 hours: 15 minutes: 11 seconds]
Bringing his mind to the blood-red countdown on the cerulean planet world channel, he muttered.
"The novice lord test is tomorrow."
Looking through the discussion already going on, time ticked by.
[Tomorrow is the novice lord test. I'm so excited that my entire body is trembling.]
[Are you sure it's because you're trembling from excitement and not because you're afraid?]
[The novice lord test is finally coming! I realize that I'm suddenly not afraid anymore. Come quickly! Give me a quick answer no matter whether I live or die!]
[Brothers, is it too late to give up my status as a lord and change my profession to an adventurer?]
[I have an adventurer subject who said that being an adventurer is actually very dangerous. It's not as safe as you think.]
[I advise everyone who wants to change their profession to an adventurer to consider it carefully and not make a mistake.]
[I'm dying of laughter. You still want to retreat at a time like this?]
[I just summoned today's subjects. I already have 15 professions, one of which is a Black iron-tier advance grade spearman!]
[All big shots except from Blazing Shit, can you tell me if I can pass tomorrow's novice lord test with my current strength?]
[Don't ask. Asking is taboo!]
[You did a good job excluding Blazing Shit. He will definitely end up lying to you.]
[That's the reason I excluded him. I have no desire to end up like Lord Mighty!]
[My territory is in the Lone Wolf Territory of the Gale Kingdom. Is there a big shot nearby who can help me during the novice lord test?]
[My territory is in the Snowy Plains of the Flying Snow Kingdom. To any big shot that is willing to help me in the novice lord test tomorrow, I guarantee that I will follow your lead in the future!]
[I'm the same. Can any big shot come and help me after passing the novice lord test? My territory is the Blackmoon Mountain Range of the Twilight Kingdom.]
[I'm in the Glazed Kingdom…]
[I'm in the Bright Moon Kingdom…]
…
No one knew who started it.
Suddenly, a large number of lords were crazily exposing the location of their territory on the world channel.
What they wanted to express was surprisingly unanimous.
That was to gather together for strength!
They all wanted to find the other human lords around the territory and unite all the forces that could be united.
Then, they wanted to use this power to pass the novice lord test tomorrow.
[Everyone stop revealing your locations. Blazing Shit might be watching and taking note.]
[There's nothing to fear from Blazing Shit. I've been privately messaged by more than 20 lords that have defeated a scarlet lord in their region.]
[As soon as the novice lord test ends, we'll immediate eradicate the bad egg known as Blazing Shit.]
[But if a situation arises that hinders us from attacking, the lords close to Blazing Shit's territory has volunteered to alert us whenever Blazing Shit makes a move.]
[Knight Lord is really doing his best to get rid of the filth known as Blazing Shit. We shouldn't slack off either!]
[That's right. Everyone should reveal their locations and try to assist those closest to you.]
'Gathering for strength?'
When Zhou Zhou saw this, he wasn't really surprised.
And he also wasn't interested in such a method.
'Do they think the test would be so easy that some people would have time to come to their territory to help them?'
'Stupid!'
Looking at the door of the tent, he muttered.
"No one tried to enter last night; this tent must not yet have an occupant."
Rising from the bed made and decorated by Zhu Yinglun and Bao Xiu'er, he stepped outside after putting on his clothes.
"Good morning, my lord."
Lacing poison on his arrows, Huang Sai looked at Zhou Zhou.
"You were here all through the night?"
Seeing the arrows scattered around Huang Sai and the moisture on his clothes, Zhou Zhou asked.
"It wasn't stressful due to the tarpaulin I made use of."
Huang Sai began arranging his arrows into his quiver as he said.
"Your ability to observe your surroundings is topnotch."
Zhou Zhou praised Huang Sai after figuring out how he knew where he was.
"I'm an archer. Paying attention to my surroundings is what I'm good at."
Huang Sai with an excited smile on his face.
"You can return to your dorm and prepare for the day. We'll be very busy in a few hours."
Zhou Zhou began heading towards his courtyard as he said.
"Yes, my lord."
Huang Sai said as he followed along.
..
Preparing for the day, Zhou Zhou washed up before getting served breakfast by Qin Guang.
Drinking the soup in a couple of minutes, he made his way to the summoning gate together with his vice, Hui Teng, his military commander, Bai Yung and the half part of his strongest fighter, Aegon.
Arriving in front of the white portal, a text notification greeted him.
[Prompt: Do you want to summon immediately?]
"Yes!"
He said.
Now that his territory was at the Green bronze-tier intermediate grade, he could summon 54 new subjects every day.
And there must be six professionals among them!
"You will do the honors."
Looking at Hui Teng, Zhou Zhou said.
"Yes, my lord."
Hui Teng nodded before taking a couple of steps forward.
The next second
The gate of summoning suddenly lit up with a bright white light, and 54 subjects walked out in about 16 seconds.
"Welcome to Blazing Sun City."
"I'm the vice lord of the city, Hui Teng. and beside me is the lord of the city, Zhou Zhou."
Looking at the 54 individuals in front of him, Hui Teng introduced himself and his lord.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Each and every one of the 54 newly summoned subjects bowed towards Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou smiled and nodded in response.
Then, he opened their personal information and began to check them while Hui Teng had them introduce themselves and their profession.
A minute later, he completed his inspection.
Among these 54 people, there were 34 male subjects and 20 female subjects!
There were a total of 8 professionals!
Among them were 1 Green bronze-tier intermediate grade archer and 1 Green bronze-tier intermediate grade carpenter!
There was also a Green bronze-tier elementary grade doctor, 2 Green bronze-tier elementary grade sword shield soldiers, 2 Black iron-tier advance grade tailors, and 1 Black iron-tier elementary grade blacksmith!
'More professionals.'
Zhou Zhou thought excitedly.
Splitting the non-professionals, 48 of them in total, he assigned 3 women to the medical hall to be trained as nurses, and if possible as doctors.
3 were assigned to the kitchen to be trained as chefs, 3 were assigned to the alchemy shop to be trained under Peggy, the alchemy pharmacist, 3 were assigned to assist Hui Teng, and the final 6 were assigned to Bao Xiu'er.
For the 28 men, 10 of them were assigned to Elder Zhao, 5 of them were assigned to the carpenter, Zhu Yinglun, 3 of them were given dojo class certificates, 3 of them were assigned to the butcher store yet to be built, 5 of them were assigned to Man Nao, and the last 2 were assigned to Ashburn.
"Come with me."
Hui Teng said to the new subjects as he took them to their respective field of work.
Following after Hui Teng, the 54 subjects stayed quiet as he explained the way of life of the city.
"I'll be waiting for you in front of the time ruin gate. Bring everyone at the limit of their rank along with you."
Looking at Bai Yung, Zhou Zhou said to him.
"Will do, my lord!"
Bai Yung saluted with his fist on his chest before leaving.
"Take Nezario around the region and let him practice on his flame breathing and anything else you can think of to make him stronger."
Directing his words at Aegon, Zhou Zhou handed him 100 Green bronze-tier mist cores for Nezario.
"Yes, my lord."
Aegon gave his salute before leaving.
Having to wait for less than 5 minutes, Zhou Zhou responded with a nod at the greeting of his soldiers.
"I'm sure you all have knowledge about the time ruin, I won't say much then."
"Hui Teng and Qin We, the both of you are in charge of defending the elves and taking out the flame demon fog wolves around them."
"The rest of you, your job is to clear out the remaining flame demon fog wolves."
He said as he handed out tasks to the soldiers.
Receiving their tasks, Bai Yung, Lu Chong, Hui Teng, Huang Sai, Sun Can and Qin We nodded in acknowledgement. "Let's head in."
Concluding his words, Zhou Zhou threw himself inside the spatial door with his eyes shut and his sense of touch heightened.
Receiving lessons from their teammates, Huang Sai and Sun Can kept their eyes shut after jumping into the spatial door.
Catching a scene of twirling dark strings despite keeping his eyes closed, Zhou Zhou tried paying attention to the strings when they disappeared a second later.
Appearing at the same starting position at last time, he opened his eyes calmly without any dizziness affecting.
