Twenty Times That Amount!

Stone Spring Village!

A purple-quality resource territory!

"I didn't expect the rewards to be so generous!"

Fang Yuan murmured after hearing the notification sound.

As the saying goes, provisions must be secured before troops are moved.

In the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield, the most important buildings for any Lord are undoubtedly resource territories.

With resource territories, one can continuously produce resources to supply the development of their territory.

They are the means of production belonging to the Lord.

However, resource territories are not easily obtained by Lords.

Especially for novice Lords like him who entered later.

Therefore, most novice Lords are very poor.

To obtain a resource territory, one must at least reach Main City level five.

Moreover, the quality would not be high, at most white quality.

Even if obtained, it would require a long period of nurturing to generate positive returns.

But even white-quality resource territories.

Most of them are occupied by major alliances and are prioritized for Lords within the alliance.

For many solo Lords.

They either have to be strong enough to snatch them, or they will never get one in their lifetime.

Another option is to go to places like the Northern Territory.

It is vast and sparsely populated, making it possible for solo Lords to obtain resource territories.

What Fang Yuan didn't expect was.

That the Northern Territory is too desolate.

There's even a chance to pick up a purple-quality resource territory.

After all, a purple-quality Level 1 resource territory.

Can produce 10,000 gold coins and the four major resources daily, along with ten purple Mobilization Orders.

And as the level increases, the output grows exponentially.

These are territories referred to by Lords as strategic assets.

In the central region of Gandor, those territories.

A single purple-quality resource territory is enough to trigger a war between alliances.

He actually got one so easily through a quest, purely by luck!

Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"It seems the Northern Frontier Territory is truly desolate!"

"There are still purple-quality resource points to be found!"

"It's truly vast and sparsely populated!"

"But this is perfect, as I can occupy the resource points with a small number of troops in the early stages."

"And I won't have to worry about the resource points being snatched, which would force me to deploy a large number of defensive troops, consuming resources needed for early development."

Immediately, Fang Yuan looked at the pop-up option box before him.

He quickly made his choice.

"Ding, you have chosen to occupy Stone Spring Village. Prosperity +1000, Influence +100."

Fang Yuan opened the map and located Stone Spring Village.

After incorporating it into his territory management.

He could view the attribute panel of Stone Spring Village.

[Name]: Stone Spring Village

[Level]: Level 1

[Durability]: 10000/10000

[Output]: Gold +10000/day, Wood +10000/day, Food +10000/day, Ore +10000/day, Stone +10000/day, Tier 1 Purple Mobilization Order +10/day

[Garrisoned Hero]: None

[Garrisoned Army]: None

[Upgrade Conditions]: 10,000 Gold, Resources, Main City reaches Level 2.

The Level 1 output already reached 10,000 points.

Generally, purple rarity offers a fivefold increase.

This means a resource territory upgraded to level two could produce fifty thousand units of various resources daily.

"Hiss~"

"Fifty thousand a day, that's enough resources to support my early-game leveling!"

Fang Yuan no longer hesitated. He opened Stone Spring Village's upgrade options and directly selected the upgrade.

"Ding, upgrade conditions met. Upgrade allowed. Resource territory Stone Spring Village has reached level two, territory output increased fivefold."

"Ding, Prosperity +1000 points."

After the system prompts, Fang Yuan glanced at his Main City panel.

"Now the prosperity requirement for upgrading the Main City is also met."

"The Main City can be upgraded to level three."

"But I'll hold off for now."

"Occupied resource points do not have an invincibility protection period."

"After I occupy them, they will be attacked by monsters."

"To defend them, I need to dispatch troops."

"It's best to send a Hero Unit."

"Because after a Hero Unit is stationed, it can also increase resource output."

"Moreover, the higher the Hero's quality, the greater the increase."

Currently, he had two Hero Units under his command.

Christian and Lilith.

Lilith was Golden rarity. If I'm pursuing output, I should assign her.

However, Fang Yuan shook his head.

"Lilith needs to stay by my side to slowly increase her favorability."

"And to protect me."

"Christian, on the other hand, can go. The Wolf Hunters she leads are also suitable for using this as a base to explore the surrounding map."

With that thought, Fang Yuan looked at Christian in the Lord's Hall.

"Christian, I'm appointing you as the guardian of Stone Spring Village."

"You will lead the Wolf Hunters to station there immediately."

"Replace Lilith!"

Christian bowed, "Your Lord's command is my honor!"

After completing the appointment, Fang Yuan then looked at the Earthbound Spirit floating in the air.

"Stone Spring Village, as the first part of the quest, has already rewarded a purple-quality resource territory."

"The Earthbound Spirit has given the second part of the quest."

"The reward for completing it definitely won't be low!"

"Although profit and risk go hand in hand."

"But I came to the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield precisely by taking huge risks."

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward."

"Besides, with Lilith, a Forbidden Spell Archmage, as my backup, I can try even the greatest dangers!"

With that thought, Fang Yuan no longer hesitated.

He chose to accept again.

"Ding, you have accepted the quest 'Earthbound Spirit's Request'."

"Please find the Golden Flower Family's pioneer territory within thirty days and rescue the Golden Flower Pioneer Baron and his family within the territory."

Hearing the prompt, Fang Yuan's brow furrowed slightly.

The quest time had increased, and the difficulty had also risen.

The first quest for Stone Spring Village even provided the quest location.

This one required him to find the quest location himself.

Fang Yuan looked at the Earthbound Spirit in front of him and asked directly.

"You don't know the location of the pioneer territory?"

The Earthbound Spirit's favorability towards Fang Yuan greatly increased upon seeing him accept the quest.

It answered his question readily.

"It's been too long, I've already forgotten."

"However, Lord,"

"I only remember that when I escaped from the frontier territory back then, my young master had the map with him."

"If you find his corpse, you might be able to find the map."

Hearing the Earthbound Spirit's reply.

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned.

The young master the Earthbound Spirit mentioned should be the youngest son of a noble from the Golden Flower Family.

How many years has it been? Where am I supposed to find his corpse?

Unless he was also corrupted by the War Mist.

Otherwise, forget about a corpse, not even a speck of bone would be left now.

Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel troubled.

However, there was no solution for now, so he could only take it one step at a time.

He would ask Lilith when she returned.

Then he looked at the Earthbound Spirit again.

"You are now bound to the Book of Curses, integrated into one?"

The Earthbound Spirit nodded.

"Yes, I can no longer escape."

"The power of the curse has taken deep root in my soul."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment before asking.

"Can you wield the power of the curse fragments?"

The Earthbound Spirit nodded again.

"Yes, and only when I am willing can the power of the curse be wielded."

"If I am unwilling, using the Book of Curses privately will not only fail to harm the enemy, but will also harm myself."

Hearing this.

Fang Yuan said directly.

"Good!"

"I want to cast a curse now!"

"Will you help me!"

This Earthbound Spirit was also righteous. Firstly, Fang Yuan had accepted the mission, and secondly, it had witnessed the terror of Lilith and Christian's restraint over him.

As the Lord of two Heroes.

The Earthbound Spirit knew the saying "a wise man knows when to adapt to circumstances."

"Please instruct me, my Lord!"

"However, casting curses consumes energy."

"My body is weak now, so I can't cast many curses."

"If the Lord wants to cast a powerful curse."

"I hope the Lord can provide some energy."

Energy?

Fang Yuan thought of Source Crystals.

He directly took out a white one and handed it over.

"Is this okay?"

The Earthbound Spirit was overjoyed.

"Yes... yes."

"For every additional one, the curse's power will double."

Fang Yuan nodded.

Then he took out twenty white Source Crystals from his pocket.

"Give me twenty times the power!"

"Give me the most vicious one!!!"
