Lord of the Earth

Chapter 2 The gift of the earth, turning a stone into gold

"If that's the case, 'Overlord's Pose' is definitely a talent with great potential!"

Xia Tian's eyes glow.

Of course, the talent of the "son of the plane" is not weak at all, it is obviously the template of the famous "great magister" in ancient China!

Therefore, looking at these two talents, Xia Tian felt envious.

"But to be serious, the third talent 'Touching the Stone' may be a more suitable choice."

But Xia Tian suppressed his impulse, and set his sights on the third talent choice.

"The power of good fortune, upgrade rewards, wonders of heaven and earth!"

Although the rules of the "Eternal Land" after the fusion of the heavens are still unclear, the talent with the entry "power of good fortune" will not be low no matter what.

What's more, being able to put it together with "the son of the plane and the overlord's posture" means that it is not inferior.

Moreover, there are still some shortcomings in the first two talents.

Although the "Son of the Plane" is very powerful and has comprehensive effects, the effect is limited to the territory and the effect is discounted, and the specific results are more completely "lucky".

The "overlord posture" needs population to show its advantages, and the location and environment of his territory are complicated. It is estimated that it will be difficult to obtain a large population in the early stage.

Only the talent of "turning stones into gold" has a wide range of applicability. It can be said that it can be effectively used in various environments, especially when he took a course of market economics during college. He clearly remembered what the professor said. When the market is large enough, the benefits that product quality can bring far outweigh quantity.

"I choose 'Tianshichengjin'!"

So after thinking about it, Xia Tian made the final decision.

[You have chosen the lord's talent "Touch Stone into Gold", the number of times this talent can be triggered without consumption is: 10. 】

[Note: All lord talents need to consume the "luck" of the territory when they are used. Thanks to the generosity of the will of the earth, all lords will initially have a certain non-consumable time or number of times. 】

"Wow, whoring for nothing? Praise to Mother Earth!"

Xia Tian said with joy on his face.

"I found a treasure chest in the lord's mansion, and the initial materials can be opened in it. Everyone, go and open the chest, there are mysterious surprises in it!"

At this time, someone broke new information in the "area chat" in the lower left corner of the line of sight.

"Treasure chest? This is good, I like treasure chests the most!"

Whether it is a game or a novel, treasure chests are something that people are full of expectations.

Xia Tian's eyes lit up, and he was also preparing to enter the Lord's Mansion to open the treasure chest.

[Do you want to use "Tianshichengjin" on the 'Lord's Mansion'? 】

And when his hands touched the red-painted gate of the lord's mansion, a golden message suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Hey, is this talent also effective for 'buildings'? Or, try it first?"

Xia Tian's heart moved.

Immediately, a golden light centered on the position where his hands touched, and spread towards the entire Lord's Mansion as quickly as a stream of light, covering every corner.

About ten seconds later, after the golden light dissipated, the Lord's Mansion completely changed its appearance. The surface of the black wooden plaque was burnt with a thick layer of gold. The bluestone fence turned into a ten-foot-high hard granite wall, and there were some patrol towers where people could stand.

In particular, the two stone lions at the door turned into the legendary "狻猊" style of one of the nine sons of the dragon. They were majestic and domineering, and their eyes were so lifelike that Xia Tian almost thought they were living creatures.

"Hey, this change is too big, isn't it? It's just a shotgun change!"

Xia Tian was pleasantly surprised.

In addition to occupying a relatively large area, the original lord's mansion seemed a bit simple overall.

But today's lord's mansion is at least equivalent to the level of the general's mansion even if it is placed in the most prosperous dynasty in ancient times.

"If you continue to choose 'turning stones into gold', won't you reach the level of the palace and the palace? Maybe even a 'heaven and earth fortune' will become a so-called 'rare thing' in the middle, such as castles in the sky, Yunding Tiangong and so on."

Xia Tian had a big brain hole, but he didn't continue to try. Instead, he opened the door and entered his lord's mansion first. According to the chat channel, he found an iron treasure chest placed in the corner of the white marble-covered lord's hall.

Using the "eye of insight" in the lord's skill, several lines of information appeared on the treasure chest.

【Exquisite Iron Treasure Chest】

[Level] Common level (the item level is limited to normal level)

[Description] After opening, you can get some initial materials from it, and you must get at least one 'green' quality item.

And when Xia Tian stretched out his hand to touch the box, another golden prompt appeared.

[Do you want to use "Tianshichengjin" on the 'Exquisite Iron Treasure Chest'? 】

"It seems that the treasure chest belongs to the category of 'reward'? Use it, of course you must use it!"

Xia Tian said without hesitation.

Just like the previous lord's mansion, the golden light that bloomed centered on his fingers enveloped the entire iron box.

When the light dissipated, the material of the treasure chest had changed from iron to copper, and the details of the patterns on it and the overall shape were much more exquisite!
[You have obtained the 'Rare Copper Treasure Chest', do you want to use "Mind Stone" on it? 】

The golden hint reappeared.

Without thinking too much, Xia Tian used up two more chances to "turn a stone into gold" in a row, changing the material of the treasure chest from copper to silver, and finally turned it into a treasure chest made entirely of gold. It is engraved with dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and other mythical beasts, all of which are clearly visible; there are also moiré patterns, which seem to be surging!
【Precious Golden Treasure Chest】

【Level】every level

[Description] After opening, you can get some initial materials from it, and you must get at least one 'golden' quality item.

At this time, in Xia Tian's field of vision, there was no hint of "turning a stone into gold" anymore.

"So, gold is already the highest grade, or is it currently the highest?"

Xia Tian was thoughtful.

"Huh, next, it's time to witness a miracle!"

However, he quickly turned his attention back to the luxurious golden treasure chest in front of him.

Snapped!
Xia Tian opened the box with anticipation, and his field of vision was engulfed by colorful light in an instant.

["Five Animals Play" (gold), blueprints for making crossbows (gold), small refugee recruitment scrolls (gold), training manuals for random arms (silver), residential building guides (blue), bronze swords of the Warring States period (green), Moutai wine 1 box (white)]

[Note: The items obtained by opening the treasure chest will be automatically stored in the lord's space. The initial size is 100 cubic meters, which can be expanded by consuming luck. 】

"Hiss, there are three golden items, worthy of the name 'turn stone into gold'... Well, wait a minute, there seems to be something strange mixed in, Moutai?"

With a thought in Xia Tian, ​​a bottle with a red label and a white bottom that most Chinese people are familiar with appeared in his hand.

"What's the use of this thing?"

A box of Moutai was actually opened in the resource treasure box, which made Xia Tian feel a little speechless.

Because he doesn't know how to drink liquor at all.

Moreover, the value of Moutai is completely based on hype. Even in other countries except Dragon Kingdom, not many people would buy it!

What's more, now that the earth is gone, is this thing still valuable?

At this time, Xia Tian glanced over the "regional chat" channel in the lower left corner.

"Awesome, this treasure chest can actually open items from the earth. I'll go, do you believe it! I even opened a box of instant noodles, which still taste like old sauerkraut. Suddenly I feel very at ease. I thought I had become After the lordship, I can only eat abalone and lobster, wild game, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and I will never be able to eat my favorite Kang Shuaifu instant noodles!"

"I opened ten sticks of Chinese cigarettes from the treasure chest. I couldn't afford to smoke them on earth. Now I can finally smoke enough. Now that the heavens have merged, lung cancer should be cured, right?"

"I opened a box of Jasper, the problem is that my territory seems to be built on the edge of a cemetery, this thing can't be used?"

"The lord of the cemetery ahead, as long as you are brave..."

In the chat channel at this time, speaking was much easier.

Perhaps it was the familiar things that were opened from the material treasure chest, which relieved the confusion and strangeness in the hearts of many lords.

"Toilet paper is sold at a high price, and each roll is exchanged for 10 resources. You noble earth lords, you don't want to use leaves or bamboo slices to solve the problem, do you?"

"Anyone want red wine? 82 Lafite, one bottle is exchanged for 100 grains or resources, only four bottles are sold on a first-come, first-served basis!"

"I'm the anchor Zhou Xiaoyu of Kuaisha, does anyone need underwear! It's original, not second-hand."

Some people even yelled in the channel, trying to sell the items they unpacked.

This also made Xia Tian realize that his judgment was completely wrong.

Things like Moutai may be more valuable in this eternal place than on Earth, because it is "out of print".

Of course, compared to alcohol, cigarettes should be more liquidable. For many middle-aged men who are addicted to cigarettes, they are absolutely willing to spend their own resources to buy them.

What, how to develop the resource territory after selling it?Let me smoke a cigarette and think about it!
"Don't be delusional. I searched carefully for the 'trading system' and it is not open at all. It is estimated that there is no such thing, or there are other conditions that need to be met."

However, someone soon came out to pour cold water on it.

Although he is a "lord of the whole people", it seems impossible to trade materials from the beginning, which means that all territories can only rely on themselves at the beginning.

"In this case, the quality of the initial materials is even more important. My choice is indeed correct. The resources obtained from the gold treasure chest are definitely much better than the iron treasure chest!"

Xia Tian thought.

With a flash of light in his hand, he took out a prop in the form of a scroll with black characters on a gold background from the lord's space.

[Scroll for Recruitment of Small Vagrants (Gold)]

【Level】every level

[Characteristics] Summon 100 mortal refugees from the Illusory Sea located near the territory to your territory, and there must be a "hero" with top potential among the refugees.

[Explanation] Among the refugees, there may also be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

To develop a territory, the first element is naturally "population"!

"We must get a hero, which is worthy of the golden quality. I hope to recruit a fighting hero, so that the initial development of the territory will be guaranteed."

With anticipation, Xia Tian unfolded the golden scroll in his hand, and saw a white light rushing out of it, flying towards the outside of the territory.
