Wondrous item: Devil's Contract!!

As night fell, twelve hours had passed since the Dimensional World Rift Gate to the Zerg.

A system notification sounded.

[Ding: Exploration progress is being tallied...]

[Ding: Exploration progress is zero, no rewards, the Rift Gate is closed.]

Su Ye, who was nursing, looked up and was startled, but then didn't pay attention. So what if he disappeared? He had already marked him, so why bother? He continued nursing.

The yellow night has passed.

As the white dawn broke, Su Ye opened his eyes, a look of utter dejection in them. Who am I? What have I done? Why am I so exhausted? I feel completely drained.

Su Ye crawled out from the pile of beauties, like a walking corpse, and came to the Chaos Spring Water. Looking at his reflection in the water, he looked so haggard.

"No, I have to quit drinking." Su Ye secretly vowed to himself that he must quit drinking.

After drinking several mouthfuls of Chaos Spring Water, Su Ye was fully restored to health.

"Feeling refreshed." Su Ye washed his face and walked on the grass with a clear mind, like a lion surveying its Territory, striding with the arrogant and unapproachable gait of a prison newspaper-reading king, towards the Barracks.

Fallen Angel +30, Gene Praetorian +30, Dragon +30, Holy Angel +30, Valkyrie +30, Star God +30!!

"My luck is so-so today." Su Ye looked at the 180 units of Troops he had recruited. He was satisfied, but he was a little disappointed that he hadn't recruited any Hero Unit.

"System, open the Daily Combat Power Gift Pack," Su Ye's voice rang out.

[Ding: You have obtained 100 Origin Crystal]

"That's it?" Su Ye looked at what he got from the Combat Power Gift Pack. This was supposed to be the minimum reward, right? 100 Origin Crystal for a beggar?

"Something's not right. My luck's off today." Su Ye looked at what he'd gotten from the Combat Power Gift Pack and realized something was off.

"I need to keep a low profile today, I can't be so arrogant," Su Ye thought with a serious expression.

Something's not right today.

"Delmis," Su Ye said to Delmis behind him. Today it was Delmis's turn to follow him, which was also arranged by Su Ye.

One a day.

If no one is available, we'll take turns. The goal is still to build a relationship, starting with the arrangement that began with Aolide, which started yesterday.

Delmis nodded, following behind Su Ye.

Su Ye then walked towards the Divine Object Summoning Hall.

With Delmis by his side, Su Ye became much bolder.

Upon entering the Summoning Hall, Su Ye looked at the Altar in front of him.

[Ding: Perform daily summon?]

"Summoning." Su Ye looked at the Altar in front of him with curiosity.

A crimson light shot into the sky.

Su Ye subconsciously took a step back. A chaotic, Malevolence, and Omen aura emanated from Delmis, and the blood-red light disappeared.

An Old Gu parchment appeared before Su Ye.

Su Ye looked at the Old Gu parchment and checked its properties.

Name: The Devil's Contract

Level: None

Attribute: Rare Item

Special ability: Make a wish (3 times)

Su Ye looked at the Old Gu parchment in front of him, the Demon Overlord, made three wishes, and danced with the Demon.

What is Demon Overlord? Su Ye didn't know, but just from the name, he knew that this thing was no ordinary creature.

As for making wishes, do I need them? It seems not, since I don't need to make wishes. But are they even useful to me?

Saying it's useless is pointless, but being better is still useful.

"Can it be traded?" Su Ye looked at the Demon Contract in his hand. If it could be traded, it seemed pretty good. There must be a lot of people who wanted this thing.

There are no ranks for rare items; the main thing to look at is their characteristics. Some rare items are incredibly powerful, while others are just average or even quite weak.

"Alright, better than nothing." Su Ye simply put the Demon Contract into his personal storage space, where it would gather dust.

This thing is impossible to use. Su Ye is not going to be targeted by that Demon Overlord. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this thing is just a poisoned cake.

"Delmis, let's go." Su Ye led Delmis away from the Divine Object Summoning Hall. The things summoned from this place were getting more and more outrageous.

Within the Territory.

As time passed, Su Ye leisurely ate his breakfast, not in a hurry to start the Void Trial. While eating, he opened his friend chat to see if the Little Merchant had sent him any messages.

Yes, there really was, but it was around 1 or 2 AM last night, and that version of myself seemed to be having a great time.

Su Ye opened it and took a look.

[Little Merchant: Sir, do you have anything to sell? Business has been slow lately. I'm currently buying the Troop Refresh Recruitment Card and Barracks Upgrade Card you requested.]

Looking at the message from the Little Merchant, today is the ninth day of the Novice Period. If you count the time, some lords with potential have already grown up.

Of course, the growth mentioned here refers to stable development. Exploring the Rift Gate is wishful thinking. Unless you're an overpowered character like Su Ye, most lords wouldn't choose to open the Rift Gate.

Why?

It's unstable. If something goes wrong, there's no one to help. The second-generation lords won't risk it. For them, as long as they get through the Novice Period, they have the support of their Families.

Opening one Rift Gate every day would be fine, but not now. The Families can't help them right now; they have to rely on themselves. Stability is the best option; there's no need to take risks.

Who needs to take the risk?

People like Ye Xiu, ambitious commoner lords who refuse to be mediocre, are the only ones who will take a gamble; only in this way can they have a chance to rise to the top.

Su Ye took stock of his supplies. He had quite a few Resource Card, but as for selling them, the only ones he could sell were Stone and Wood Resource Card. Su Ye didn't want to sell anything else.

The Resource Card of Stone Wood are very limited.

"Troop Upgrade Card?" Su Ye looked at the Troop Upgrade Card he still had. He didn't need it, but he couldn't offer anything good in exchange for it from the Little Merchant.

"Let me think about it, "Su Ye replied directly.

[Otherworld Traveler: I do have some Advanced Resource Card. Can you handle them?]

Lin Xiaoxiao was chatting with other lords when she saw the message Su Ye sent. She opened it and saw. "Advanced Resource Card, what a great item!"

[Little Merchant: Can you handle that? What Resource Card?]

Su Ye replied directly to Lin Xiaoxiao's message.

[Otherworld Traveler: How much do Wood and Stone cost?]

"Advanced Resource Card for Wood Stone?" Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. This stuff is Eternity hard currency. Whether expanding Territory or constructing other buildings, it's indispensable. Stockpiling it would definitely be a good investment. However, as a businesswoman, she couldn't just buy it at market price.
