[Territory Prompt: "Consume 300 spirit coins, Bright Tower rises to level 2."]
[Territory Prompt: "Consume 600 spirit coins, Bright Tower rises to level 3."]
…
[Building: Bright Tower]
[Level: 20]
[Upgrade Requirements: 30,000 spirit coins]
[Quality: SSS (0/1)]
[Quality Upgrade: 1 Bright Tower]
[Defense: 50,000/50,000]
[Special Attribute 1: Illumination (Lights territory, boosts all building stats by 30%)]
[Special Attribute 2: Grants 20% defense to all residents]
[Introduction: Dispels darkness, fuels hope, banishes negative energy, amplifies abilities.]
Skills gain 20%; residents' defense jumps too. Zhou Yan marvels—buff towers redefine Heavenly Court.
At the Spiritual Spring, water brims despite heavy use. He hits the trading hall, eyeing Little Darling's shop. Bamboo stacks—200 per bundle—line the shelves.
[Territory Prompt: "National Trading Hall: Bought 200 bamboo, spent 2,000 spirit coins."]
…
He sweeps them up, tasking Hua Yuerong's sisters to bottle spring water. Little Darling, alerted, checks her stock—gone to the mystery buyer. Relief hits; unsold bamboo wastes her axe swings. She frets he'll stop one day. No one else buys her bulk. Could he be the spring water seller? Win-win keeps her prices steady—her territory thrives, trial scores climbing.
Zhou Yan doesn't dwell on her thoughts. He lists spring water at 10,500 per set.
[Territory Prompt: "International Trading Hall: Sold spring water set, gained 10,000 spirit coins."]
…
Buyers pounce—speed wins. Millions stack up. He unloads low-tier gear—hundreds of common pieces, over 100 black iron. Qin Yao passed; her small crew doesn't need them.
Shock ripples through trial chats:
"Mysterious guy's nuts—spring water daily, now gear galore. Armory heist?"
"Three million from water alone—six with yesterday's haul!"
"Spirit coin cards, kid. Mine's ten million—jealous?"
"I've got a billion. Beat that."
"Boss, carry me!"
"Private pics, 100 coins—worth it."
"Little lady sings, warms beds—billion guy interested?"
His spirit coins breach ten million—still short for mystery shop rarities. Poor by that measure, he plots more gains.
Level 10 unlocks new statues, but his territory lags. He upgrades:
[Territory Prompt: "Territory rises to level 9."]
[Territory Prompt: "Territory rises to level 10."]
[Territory Prompt: "First lord to hit territory level 10. Unlocked trial territory leaderboard. +100 reputation points. Announce territory, name, nationality?"]
"On TV again," Zhou Yan groans, picking "No."
[Newcomer Trial Announcement: "Territory [REDACTED], lord [REDACTED], nationality [REDACTED] first to reach territory level 10. +100 reputation points."]
Chats ignite:
"Mystery man, show yourself!"
"Three broadcasts daily? Insane!"
"Maybe three guys."
"Bet it's one."
[National]:
"True boss—silent TV star."
"Level 10 territory, day four? We're stuck at huts."
"Gap's brutal."
"Back to my shack—crying."
