"Oman Pyius is really lucky."
Zhou Zhou mumbled as he stared at the purple glowing Mythical-tier lord talent origin divine crystal in his hand.
Having arrived back home with Lu Chong, he was on his way to the gnome workshop where the medicine cultivator was studying the materials used by Ashburn to produce the life potion and the energy potion.
Choosing to walk there rather than teleport, he took about 7 minutes before arriving at the gnome workshop.
Summoning Oman out, he told him about the Mythical-tier lord talent origin divine crystal and how valuable it is to him and the city.
"With it, you'll be able to plant the best medicine herbs you can have your hands on and have them harvested at a very fast pace."
He said as he handed the purple glowing crystal to Oman.
"Thank you, my lord."
Oman Pyius bowed in gratitude.
He had no idea the worth of the Mythical-tier divine crystal after having his memory erased, but from the description of what it could do after it's absorbed; he knew how important it was to him as a medicine cultivator.
'I can quickly advance my professional class with the divine medicine hall by my side.'
He thought as he headed to his apartment to safely absorb the origin divine crystal.
While Oman Pyius was absorbing a lifetime opportunity, Zhou Zhou had a surprise visit from the Princess of the Aurora Kingdom.
After bringing the Aurora Kingdom's Princess and her maid to his lord and introducing them, Hui Teng was shocked when he heard his lord said he should remain in the room.
"You'll be handling most of the activities concerning the city, having as much information concerning my activities as you can, will be of much help to you."
Zhou Zhou said before giving a little bow to the princess as a show of respect to the behemoth behind her.
"You're welcome to Blazing Sun City, Princess Li Ya."
"I'm honored to be welcomed by the strongest novice lord of an entire planet."
Li Ya reciprocated with a bow of her own as she said.
"May I ask the reason for princess's visit?"
After gesturing for Li Ya and her maid to sit, Zhou Zhou asked as he took in Li Ya's figure.
Putting on a holy white gorgeous dress, she had a pretty face and a resplendent white crystal at her glabella.
Among those in his city, only Theresa could be said to be more beautiful.
"I came with father's greetings, as well as, his goodwill."
Li Ya said before taking out a contract from her spatial ring.
"After hearing that my lord is very interested in our kingdom's aurora crystal from City lord Zhang, father decided to hand out the aurora crystal transaction to you."
"With this contract, you can purchase aurora crystals of Yellow gold-tier and lower from any Yellow gold-tier or above regional territories in the Aurora Kingdom."
After she finished speaking, in order to avoid Zhou Zhou's misunderstanding, she explained apologetically,
"It's not that my father is stingy and doesn't want to sell Aurora Kingdom crystals above the Yellow gold-tier."
"Your lordship also knows that in our High Continent, the probability of extracting items after a life form dies is extremely small."
"Normally speaking, only the mist cores can be extracted. Most of the other items won't be extracted."
"It's the same for the aurora crystals."
"In addition, our Aurora Kingdom can only build a White platinum-tier advance grade aurora kingdom tower at most."
"Therefore, even for our Aurora Kingdom, White platinum-tier aurora crystals are already considered extremely top-notch and rare resources."
"We still have to use these to deal with the Tahan Kingdom, so it's not convenient for us to sell White platinum-tier aurora crystals to the lord."
"I understand."
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
"Actually, my city isn't in pressing need of the aurora crystals anymore."
"So, I want to bring up a new deal with the Aurora Kingdom."
Seeing a new medium to generate wealth, Blazing Sun decided to grab it.
Surprised at Zhou Zhou's words, Li Ya couldn't help but ask.
"What deal?"
"I have a lucky person in my city who has a very high loot percentage."
"You can hand the corpses of the Aurora Kingdom's citizens to me and I will hand the aurora crystals to you."
Zhou Zhou said to Li Ya.
"We also have a lucky person in the Aurora Kingdom."
"He's able to loot a Green bronze-tier aurora crystal in 10 to 12 tries."
"I can't make a deal with you if your city's lucky person doesn't have a higher looting rate."
Li Ya wasn't convinced by Zhou Zhou's words.
"If you're willing take the risk, we can test the looting rate of the lucky person in my city tomorrow."
Zhou Zhou said as he looked at Li Ya.
'The Supreme Will no longer favors those of us from the High Continent after failing to produce a Lord of All Races in all these years.'
'Father said that we can only depend on the competing lords to have a chance to resisting the attacks of the Tahan Kingdom.'
'I'm sure father would trust him enough to take a little risk.'
Li Ya thought to herself as she came to a decision.
"Tomorrow it is, then."
She said.
"Tomorrow it is."
Zhou Zhou replied with a smile.
"I will leave you to handle other things now, my lord."
Li Ya said as she stood up from the couch.
"Hui Teng, take her to the hotel."
Zhou Zhou said to his vice.
"Yes, my lord."
Hui Teng acknowledged before leading Li Ya and her maid to the city's hotel.
Alone in his sitting room, Zhou Zhou made an inquiry to no one in particular.
"Can I choose to loot a corpse without the effect of Perfect Loot?"
[Lord Talent Hint: Perfect Loot is an effect that you can deactivate]
"Good."
He smiled before heading into the first layer of space.
...
"You're all invited to the party."
"Inform your friends and colleagues."
Remiel said to the architects in the bathhouse before leaving.
Watching Remiel and Jeremy leave, the architects couldn't believe all they heard.
"I've been in the city for a while now, and I've only heard of a single party hosted by the lord."
"I haven't heard of the military hosting a party."
One of the architects that has only been in the city for 3 days said.
"I participated in the party hosted by the lord."
"It was fun."
Another architect said.
"With the current population of the city, I'm the party would be more fun."
"I can't wait for tomorrow night."
Another architect that experienced the city's first party said in anticipation.
Walking beside Remiel, Jeremy asked.
"Have you really told the commander about your plan for a party?"
"It's the third time already, Jer."
"I hinted my plan to the commander yesterday."
"Everything will be fine."
Remiel smiled as he said to Jeremy.
"I hope you're right."
Jeremy said as he followed along to invite more subjects to Remiel's party.
...
4 hours before night, Zhou Zhou left the first layer of space for his periodic checkup.
"There's a message."
He muttered after seeing a scroll on his table.
Reading through the message, his lips widened into a smile as he immediately teleported outside his mansion.
"My lord."
Zhao Changshou bowed towards Zhou Zhou after he suddenly appeared in front of the finished Imperial ancestral temple.
