The Era of Global Lords [Seeking Favorites and Recommendations]

Then he opened the territory interface.

[Territory: None]

[Lord's Manor: Level 1]

[Current Expandable Range: 1,000-meter radius; complete the land expansion quest to successfully expand]

[Click to start expansion]

(I advise you not to let your hand slip. Once clicked, it defaults to accepting the expansion quest, and you will be attacked by ten random hostile targets within a five-kilometer radius.)

Zong Shen looked at the requirements for territory expansion, then looked at the strategy guide, and immediately understood.

Next, he clicked on [Buildings].

[Tier 1 Thatched Hut]

[Quality: Common Human Building]

[Requirements: Wood ×10, Hemp ×3]

[Footprint: 4 square meters]

[Provides a simple place to rest, slowly recovering health]

(Recovers 1 point per hour)

[Capacity: 2 population]

[Construction Time: 1h]

[Tier 1 Simple Stove]

[Quality: Common Human Building]

[Requirements: Stone ×10, Wood ×5]

[Footprint: 1 square meter]

[Can be used to cook food; consuming raw food may cause physical harm.]

[By mastering different cooking skills, you can cook food with buff effects through the stove. Different levels of stoves have different success rates for cooking advanced food.]

[Construction Time: 2h]

(If you don't want to eat raw meat, this is an indispensable building for you.)

[Tier 1 Blacksmith Shop]

[Quality: Common Human Building]

[Requirements: Iron Ore ×10, Wood ×25, Stone ×50]

[Footprint: 20 square meters]

[A basic blacksmith shop, a crucial building in the early stages where you can forge basic weapons and tools.]

(If you have the resources, it's best to build it quickly; those three silly farmers all need to be armed.)

[Level 1 Tailor Shop]

[Quality: Common Human Building]

[Requirements: Iron Ore ×5, Wood ×30, Stone ×40]

[Footprint: 20 square meters]

[A basic tailor shop, a crucial building in the early stages where you can craft basic clothing, armor, and tools.]

(If you have the resources, it's best to build it quickly; those three silly farmers all need protection.)

Zong Shen looked around; they were all Level 1 buildings, and all of them were completely unremarkable.

As for the Level 2 options, they were all grayed out, indicating that blueprints were required to activate them.

At the very bottom, there was also a [Special] option, which could not be opened either.

Within the buildings, the available functions were few and far between.

Next, Zong Shen opened the [Crafting] function.

[Stone Axe: Stone ×5, Wood ×2, Hemp ×3]

[Crafting Time: 3m]

(A crude stone axe; efficiency is very low and it is easily damaged.)

[Stone Pickaxe: Stone ×5, Wood ×2, Hemp ×3]

[Crafting Time: 3m]

(A crude stone pickaxe; efficiency is very low and it is easily damaged.)

[Hemp Rope: Hemp ×10]

[Manufacturing Time: 8m]

(A natural hemp fiber product that can be used for binding things or further weaving.)

[Fishing Basket: Hemp Rope ×5, Hemp ×18]

[Manufacturing Time: 30m]

(An advanced product of hemp fiber that requires certain weaving skills; it can be used to create fishing traps.)

[Hemp Rope Net: Hemp Rope ×10, Hemp ×25]

[Manufacturing Time: 1h]

(An advanced product of hemp fiber that requires certain weaving skills; it can be used to create hunting traps or as a net bag.)

Within the manufacturing menu, there were dozens of fancy options.

Most of them were basic items that could be easily crafted.

After studying them for a while, Zong Shen had a rough idea of how things worked.

This inexplicable Lord Survival was truly becoming more and more like a game.

It was just that this game was incredibly realistic, as if it were based on reality itself.

After checking the [Manufacturing] options.

Zong Shen then opened the [Channel].

Immediately, six sub-options appeared before Zong Shen.

[Global Channel] (Currently closed; this channel will open after the regions merge.)

[World Channel] (World chat, automatic translation; current lord level allows one message per day.)

[Regional Channel] (Unlimited chat within the area where the territory is located, covering a 200km × 200km area of 40,000 square kilometers.)

[Alliance Channel] (This channel will open after establishing or joining an alliance.)

[Private Chat Channel] (One-on-one chat based on private IDs; unlimited chat.)

[Friends and Family Channel] (Unlimited chat.)

Zong Shen was speechless...

To think it actually had a chat function.

Could it really be a collective transmigration, a world of lords for everyone?

With a heart full of trepidation, he opened the [World Channel] directly.

"[Zhao Jun 1993216: What is going on? I was just walking down the street, and then I arrived in an all-white room. It even asked me to choose a background. Can someone tell me what this is?]"

"[Chen Qi 1994615: I think we must have all transmigrated together. This is a game played by gods; otherwise, there's no way to explain all of this!]"

"[Baker 1991324: Oh shit, are you sure this isn't a prank show? I picked a few backgrounds at random, and all I got was a pile of junk and three idiot farmers!]"

"[Elizabeth 1989221: Everyone, pay attention. Just now, when I took my farmers out to gather supplies, we were attacked by green-skinned goblins. One of my farmers died. The death here is real!]"

"[Yamada Takeshi 1996712: Baka! I ran into three bandits. They didn't say a word and just tried to hack me to death. Luckily, there's a novice protection period, and the small courtyard is invincible...!]"

"[Park Tae-an 1994713: Aish! I found a treasure chest! I got some supplies and building blueprints inside! As expected, our great country is truly destined for greatness!]"

"There are many people who have transmigrated."

"Not everyone has a golden finger!"

"And this world is filled with both opportunities and dangers!"

From the chaotic stream of information, Zong Shen analyzed several useful points.

The situation was far more complex than he had imagined!

The entire world had formed a brand-new system, and he had to adapt as quickly as possible!

Closing the [World Channel], his mood grew heavy once more.

Then, he opened the [Friends and Family Channel], his heart feeling even more anxious.

If everyone had transmigrated, then his parents and younger brother should have arrived as well.

He had a Strategy System, which counted as a reliance, but what about them?

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to start checking the [Friends and Family Channel].

This channel was more like a chat room.

The right side displayed the members.

At this moment, there were four avatar profiles, corresponding to his family of four.

His parents' avatars were both gray, while only his and his brother's were in color.

[Chen Hongmei] (Age over 45, meets the criteria for the second batch, will enter the continent in 180 days. If first-batch relatives are alive, she will be teleported nearby. Additionally, she will receive certain starting support.)

[Zong Qiming] (Age over 45, meets the criteria for the second batch, will enter the continent in 180 days. If first-batch relatives are alive, he will be teleported nearby. Additionally, he will receive certain starting support.)

[Zong Ze] (Currently located in the west of the Endless Continent, 2100 kilometers southwest of the Great City of Beluda.)

Seeing this, Zong Shen felt much more at ease!
