As night fell, twelve hours had passed since the rift gate to the dimensional world of the Zerg opened.
The system prompt sounded.
[Ding: Calculating exploration progress...]
[Ding: Exploration progress is zero, no rewards granted, the rift gate is closing.]
Su Ye, who was currently breastfeeding, looked up in a daze, then didn't care. If it disappeared, it disappeared; he had marked it anyway, so whatever, he continued eating.
The yellow night passed.
As the white dawn arrived, Su Ye opened his eyes with a hint of dullness in his expression. Who am I? What did I do? Why am I so tired? I feel like my body has been hollowed out.
Su Ye crawled directly out of the pile of beauties, walking like a living corpse to the side of the chaos spring water. Looking at his reflection in the water, he looked so haggard.
"This won't do, I must quit drinking." Su Ye swore to himself that he must quit drinking.
After gulping down a few mouthfuls of chaos spring water, Su Ye was fully revived once again.
"That's better." Su Ye washed his face and walked across the grass feeling refreshed, like a lion patrolling its territory, strutting towards the barracks with the arrogant, lawless gait of a prison king reading the news.
Fallen Angel +30, Gene Forbidden Army +30, Giant Dragon +30, Holy Angel +30, Valkyrie +30, Star God +30!!
"Luck is just average today." Su Ye looked at the 180 units of troops he had recruited; he was satisfied, but not recruiting any Hero Units felt a bit off.
"System, open the daily Combat Power Gift Pack." Su Ye's voice rang out.
[Ding: You have obtained origin crystal X100]
...
"???? That's it?" Su Ye looked at the items from the Combat Power Gift Pack. This was basically the pity prize, wasn't it? 100 origin crystals? Are you treating me like a beggar?
"No, today's luck is wrong." Su Ye looked at the rewards from the Combat Power Gift Pack, feeling something was off.
"I need to keep a low profile today, can't be so arrogant," Su Ye thought with a serious expression.
Something is definitely off today.
"Delmis." Su Ye spoke to Delmis behind him. It was Delmis's turn to accompany him today, which was also Su Ye's arrangement.
One person per day.
If someone was busy, they would rotate. The goal was still to nurture feelings, an arrangement that started with Olidai—meaning it began yesterday.
Delmis followed behind Su Ye and nodded.
Only then did Su Ye walk towards the Divine Object Summoning Hall.
With Delmis by his side, Su Ye's courage grew significantly.
Entering the summoning hall, Su Ye looked at the altar before him.
[Ding: Would you like to perform the daily summon?]
"Summon." Su Ye looked at the altar with curiosity.
A blood-red light soared into the sky.
Su Ye instinctively took a step back. A chaos, evil, and ominous aura began to spread from Delmis as the blood-red light vanished.
An ancient piece of parchment appeared before Su Ye.
Su Ye looked at this ancient parchment and checked its attributes.
Name: devils contract
Level: None
Type: Wonder
Trait: Wishing (3 times)
PS: Handiwork from a certain Demon Lord, allows three wishes! Free means more expensive; every free lunch already has a price tag clearly marked behind it. Want to try? Dance with the Devil!
Su Ye looked at the ancient parchment before him. Demon Lord, three wishes, dancing with the devil.
What is a Demon Lord? Su Ye wasn't sure, but he could tell by the name that this thing wasn't ordinary.
As for wishing, did he need it? It seemed he didn't, since he didn't really have anything to wish for, but was this thing useful to him?
To say it was useless wasn't quite right; it had its uses.
"Can it be traded?" Su Ye looked at devils contract in his hand. If it could be traded, that would be pretty good; many people would surely want this thing.
Wonders have no levels; they mainly depend on their traits. Some Wonders are absolutely heaven-defying, while others are mediocre or even quite pathetic.
"Fine, better than nothing." Su Ye directly put devils contract into his personal storage space to let it gather dust.
It was impossible for him to use this thing. Su Ye didn't want to be targeted by some Demon Lord. Just by looking at it, one could tell this thing was purely a poisoned cake.
"Delmis, let's go." Su Ye directly led Delmis out of the Divine Object Summoning Hall. The things summoned from this place were truly getting more and more ridiculous.
In the territory.
As time passed, Su Ye ate breakfast unhurriedly. He wasn't in a rush to start the Void Trial. While eating, he opened his private messages to see if Little Merchant had sent him any news.
There actually was one, but it was from one or two in the morning last night when he was probably busy having fun.
Su Ye opened it and took a look.
[Little Merchant: Does the Great One have anything to sell? Business has been hard to come by lately. I am currently acquiring the troop refresh recruitment cards and barracks upgrade cards you wanted.]
Looking at Little Merchant's words, today was the ninth day of the novice period. Calculating the time, some lords with potential had already grown up.
Of course, this 'growth' refers to stable development. Exploring rift gates was still asking too much; unless they were a cheater like Su Ye, most lords wouldn't choose to open rift gates.
Why?
Because it was unstable. Once something went wrong, there was no one to rescue them. Those second-generation lords were even less likely to take risks for it. For them, as long as they passed the novice period, they would have the support of their families.
They could open a rift gate every day then, but not now. Right now, their families couldn't provide help, so they could only rely on themselves. Stability was the best choice; there was no need to take risks.
Who were the ones who needed to take risks?
People like Ye Xiu—ambitious commoner lords who refused to be mediocre. Only they would take a gamble, as only then would they have a chance to stand out.
Su Ye took stock of his supplies. He had quite a few resource cards. As for selling, the only ones he could sell were stone and wood resource cards; he didn't want to part with the others.
He had many stone and wood resource cards.
"troop upgrade card?" Su Ye saw that he still had one troop upgrade card. He had no use for it, but if he sold it to Little Merchant, she currently wouldn't be able to offer anything good for an exchange or purchase.
After considering it, Su Ye replied directly.
[Otherworld Traveler: I happen to have some high-level resource cards in my hand. Can you handle them?]
Lin Xiaoxiao, who was chatting with other lords, saw Su Ye's message and clicked it: "High-level resource cards, those are good things."
[Little Merchant: I can handle them. What kind of resource cards?]
Su Ye saw Lin Xiaoxiao's reply and messaged back immediately.
[Otherworld Traveler: Wood and stone. What's the price?]
"High-level wood and stone resource cards?" Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. These things were eternal hard currency. Whether it was expanding territory or constructing other buildings, they were indispensable. Hoarding them would definitely not be a loss, but she was a merchant; she couldn't just buy them at market price.
