Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 132: Chapter 131: Dwarf Tribe

After the mutation of the species, Lin You was left with only around 40,000 Magic Energy.

Moreover, his Reproduction Species subjects increased from the original 85 to 92.

Excluding the Armored Moss that has little individual combat capability, there were exactly 90 combat units, which, upon complete splitting, would quadruple in number.

It’s truly a massively formidable force.

Unfortunately, due to the deaths of some split bodies, the energy of those remaining in the territory was significantly drained, preventing large-scale reproduction for the time being, so they had to be nurtured within the territory first.

Fortunately, his new Sacred Artifact has an effect that accelerates recovery.

Coupled with the group healing from the Lantern Grass within the territory, it should recover quickly.

Overall.

In this battle at the space rift, though Lin You suffered significant losses, he gained enormous rewards.

It’s just unclear what the situation is with other Lords.

Thinking this, Lin You opened the regional channel to check.

“Damn! The Demons I painstakingly repelled, only for the rift rewards to be snatched by someone else!”

“Same here, loads of Lords came my way, all of them stealing kills!”

“You are still lucky. A large rift appeared near my territory, fortunately, an Tier Eight bigwig showed up, otherwise, my territory might’ve been compromised.”

“Whoa, an Tier Eight bigwig?”

“I encountered a high-tier bigwig too. They all seem to be grabbing rewards from large rifts. Does bigger space rift mean better rewards?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Rewards from space rifts over a hundred meters are way better than normal ones, though the difficulty is higher too.”

…

Clearly, due to the abundant appearance of space rifts, Lords have thrown themselves into resource competition.

Through observation, Lin You also discovered.

The low-tier Lords encountering space rifts mostly face Tier Six or Tier Seven Demons, rarely Tier Eight.

Is it possible that his Duchy’s border is a disaster-prone area?

Or maybe those Tier Eight Demons sense there are many weaklings near the Duchy border and choose to break through here?

Lin You was quite helpless.

If his power wasn’t strong enough, he’d have been crushed by the Demon army led by the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine.

He also deeply felt the harshness of competition.

Clearly, while resources are being provided, Lords are also being screened.

Only those Lords who survive in danger are worth nurturing.

Otherwise, they would simply be serving up resources in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, benefiting Lords from other realms.

After watching the regional and world channels’ movements for a while, Lin You headed to the Tree of Life to inspect the building status.

Just as he expected.

Basic constructions in Yellow Sand City, after upgrading to Tier Two, notably increased daily revenue significantly.

After deducting miscellaneous expenses.

There was still a remaining revenue of four to five hundred Demon Crystals.

Besides the Tier Six Cultivation Field.

The most popular was surprisingly the Blacksmith Shop for crafting equipment.

Every day, numerous Cultivators bring the freshly hunted Demon materials there to craft equipment, which greatly surprised Lin You.

“Looks like I need to quickly recruit a high-tier Blacksmith.”

Lin You couldn’t help but whisper softly.

The shop master in his Blacksmith Shop was a Tier Three Blacksmith recruited over from Mo Yuan City.

Crafting equipment below Tier Three is fine, but not above.

It can’t attract high-tier Cultivators to visit.

In that case, wouldn’t they have to go to other territories to find someone to craft?

That can’t happen.

Considering future development, Lin You immediately called Xu Zhong over to inquire about craftsmen.

“Is Lord looking to inquire where to recruit high-tier craftsmen?”

Xu Zhong, who hurriedly arrived, said respectfully.

“Yes.” Lin You nodded, “Do you have any good recommendations?”

“I wouldn’t call it a recommendation, but I heard, in our neighboring Celestial Flame Duchy, there is a Dwarf Tribe living in volcanic regions, whose crafting skills are unparalleled.”

“Dwarf Tribe?” Lin You said in surprise.

Do Dwarves exist in this world?

But on second thought, he had encountered Spiritual Creatures in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, so the appearance of Dwarves shouldn’t be surprising.

The main point being, their crafting skills are strong!

This is exactly what he needs!

Curious, he continued: “Tell me about the situation there, I’d like to understand more.”

“Yes.”

Thus, Xu Zhong began explaining everything he knew about the Dwarf Tribe to Lin You.

After over ten minutes.

Lin You finally had a general understanding of this tribe.

Essentially speaking, the Dwarves in this world weren’t that different from what he was familiar with—they are skilled in crafting.

Moreover, they prefer peace and dislike dealings with outsiders.

Just like Elves, nature’s favored children.

They even have a historical reason for repelling outsiders.

This is quite tricky.

What methods can be used to lure a high-tier Dwarf artisan over?

Lin You pondered while stroking his chin.

The Celestial Flame Kingdom is quite close to the Great Wilderness Duchy.

Only separated by an endless chain of mountains and a gigantic rift abyss.

But the problem is.

Currently, with no King established in the Celestial Flame Kingdom, and the Duchy in unrest.

If he were to go now, he wouldn’t know what dangers he might face.

“Forget it, I’ll explore the situation tomorrow then.”

Ultimately, Lin You decided to go and check things out first.

After all, a formidable artisan is crucial for Yellow Sand City’s development and shouldn’t be treated lightly.

If it really doesn’t work out, he can always return.

After all, his Demon King Dragon can fly; as long as he doesn’t encounter Lords with Flying Species of Tier Seven and above, he should be fine.

Resolving that, he began preparations within the territory.

…

Soon, the next morning arrived.

After a night’s rest.

Finally, the Plants within Lin You’s territory fully recovered, reproducing another large batch of species.

A total of nearly four hundred species filled almost the entire territory.

Some scattered out, roaming the Vine Forest outside the territory, simultaneously offering protection.

And at daybreak.

A prompt suddenly echoed in Lin You’s mind.

[Congratulations, you have achieved rank 394 on the Duchy Leaderboard (Tier Six), rewarded with 50,000 Magic Energy]

“Leaderboard reward?”

Lin You paused his steps down the stairs.

He had forgotten the leaderboard settles once a month.

Calculating time now, he had been here for almost a month.

Regrettably, due to losing several Tier Seven Species, his ranking wasn’t high, only earning rewards for ranking between 100 to 1,000.

But that’s fine.

He urgently needed Magic Energy now, and this influx of 50,000 was just enough to alleviate his pressing needs, allowing him to accomplish many things.

Returning to his thoughts.

He immediately summoned Lingxi, Mushroom Demon King, Demon King Dragon, and Demon Consort Dragon each one, along with two Elf Masters skilled in Group Healing.

After brief preparations, he flew away from the territory amidst the roaring wind.

Headed towards the Celestial Flame Duchy.
