Ren Qi instantly woke up and asked in surprise, "Sis, why are you back?"
This blonde beauty was none other than Ren Qi's parents' adopted daughter and his older sister, Ren Xueli.
After her parents passed away, Ren Xueli had been taking care of Ren Qi until she awakened at 18 three years ago. After that, her Lord's Space materialized, and she never returned.
Through the messages, Ren Qi had learned that Ren Xueli's Lord's Space materialized in the northwest. There were many demon caves there, and Ren Xueli had to put in all her effort to resist them. As a result, the two of them had very little time to communicate.
"I naturally have to rush back for your assessment, but I'm still a little late. Your assessment has already ended," Ren Xueli said with a smile as she stroked her slightly messy hair.
Ren Qi asked curiously, "Sis, isn't there a demon wave over there? Didn't you tell me that you won't be able to return?"
With the arrival of the demon wave, a large number of monsters were mobilized. In theory, Ren Xueli should have been doing her best to resist the demon wave.
Ren Xueli knocked on Ren Qi's head and said, "Don't worry about me. I'm already a Tier 3 lord now. I've also joined a medium-sized alliance in the northwest. I'll have no problem resisting the demon wave."
"Besides, I just rushed back to see you. I'll be fine."
Ren Qi was very touched when he heard Ren Xueli's words.
He knew that after a Lord's Space materialized, there would be a lot of things to face. Before one had sufficient strength to establish a foothold, no one would easily leave their territory.
After all, territory was the foundation. If someone took the opportunity while the lord was away and invaded their territory and destroyed the recruitment pool, it would be all over!
However, because of his assessment, Ren Xueli still rushed back.
"Alright, looking at you, you're already 18. It's time for you to mature. Oh right, I haven't asked you yet. What kind of unit did you awaken? How was the assessment this time?"
Speaking up to this point, Ren Xueli's expression became serious.
After all, the awakened unit was related to the future, and this assessment was related to the early stages of development after the Lord's Space materialized.
Back then, she had awakened a Tier 4 unit, the wind leopard. The assessment was not bad, so her development went smoothly. She was able to advance to a Tier 3 lord in three years.
A lord's advancement depended on the overall strength of the entire territory. A Tier 3 lord was considered a pretty good little lord.
Ren Qi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I awakened a succubus unit. This assessment..."
Before Ren Qi could finish, Ren Xueli frowned and said, "A succubus soldier? Trash in the third tier..."
As she realized that her tone wasn't right, Ren Xueli hurriedly said, "But Xiao Qi, don't be anxious. Although succubi are..."
Ren Qi smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry. My succubi are a little special. Their charm is several times stronger than that of an ordinary succubus. It shouldn't be too bad."
"Mutated?" Ren Xueli raised her eyebrows.
Generally speaking, the tiers of the soldiers were strict. The third tier was the third tier, and the fourth tier was the fourth tier. That would be it for the recruitment.
However, by feeding some extremely rare spiritual materials, some soldiers could be upgraded, which was called mutation.
For example, if her fourth tier wind leopard advanced to the fifth tier, it would be called the fifth tier mutated wind leopard.
Ren Qi nodded, but he knew clearly that his mutated succubus was completely different from this type of upgraded mutation.
This was a fundamental mutation. The Succubus was still at Tier 3, but there was a chance for it to be promoted to a fallen angel!
Ren Xueli nodded and said, "That's still alright, but the succubus' combat strength isn't very strong. You probably didn't pass the assessment this time, right? It's alright. When your Lord's Space materializes, I'll give you some demon meat to help you raise your strength."
There were still second generation leaders in this world.
Some awakened lords weren't too strong, but their parents' territories were awesome and could directly help them take off.
Although Ren Xueli couldn't make Ren Qi a second generation leader, she could at least help him raise his strength. He would definitely be able to survive in the beginning.
However, she was only a Tier 3 lord after all, so she couldn't help much. He still needed to rely on himself in the future.
Perhaps becoming a support-type lord would be a good choice.
Just as Ren Xueli was about to suggest it, she heard Ren Qi say, "Sis, I've passed the assessment on Nightmare difficulty in half an hour. I should be able to get the first rank in Jiangnan!"
Ren Xueli was startled. She wondered if she had heard wrongly.
"Little Qi, stop joking. I know that even a mutated tier 4 succubus would find it difficult to pass the Normal difficulty, let alone the Nightmare difficulty."
Ren Qi smiled and told Ren Xueli how he had passed the test. She was stunned.
"Amazing, I didn't know that you could pass the test like this. Xiao Qi, you are still as smart as before."
"Does this mean that my younger brother will be the top scorer of Jiangnan?"
Ren Xueli hugged Ren Qi excitedly, her face full of happiness.
"Cough, cough... Sis, I can't breathe!"
Ren Qi's face was buried between the mountains, and he had difficulty breathing.
Ren Xueli hurriedly let go. "I'm sorry. I was a little excited. I forgot that you were injured, Xiao Qi."
The two of them chatted for a while more before Ren Xueli took out a watch and handed it to Ren Qi.
"This is a GPS watch. When you've materialized your Lord's Space, I can use it to locate you. When that time comes, I'll send you some supplies."
Ren Qi put the wristwatch on. In the city, it was very convenient to use mobile phones for location, but after materializing, there was no signal in the wild.
At that time, this kind of location-tracking wristwatch would be needed. It was made by a lord who had awakened mechanical intelligence and sold it to the outside world.
There were also some other instruments, such as scanners. They were all necessities, and generally, one needed to buy them to become a lord.
For example, the spider demons in the Spider Demon Cave. The examinees were able to obtain the information about the spider demons from the Secret Mirror. However, they would need scanners to search for information about the demons outside.
There were also some communication equipment for communication, and even auction and trading equipment that needed to be purchased.
Ren Xueli was a little excited. She chatted with Ren Qi for a while before leaving at dawn. After all, she would need a lot of time to resist the demon wave, and the journey back and forth would be very time-consuming. She had only come back to check on Ren Qi's situation.
Besides the mutated succubus and the rewards from the assessment, she would give Ren Qi some resources so that he wouldn't have any problems surviving when the time came. Ren Xueli was relieved.
After she left, Ren Qi closed his eyes and rested for a while.
At noon, Ren Qi opened his eyes and felt much more energetic.
After finishing the food he had prepared in advance, Ren Qi leaned on his bed and immersed his consciousness into the Lord's Space.
In the Lord's Space, the 50 kilograms of Tier 1 demonic meat that the principal had awarded was already in his territory.
Before the Lord's Space materialized, it was impossible for soldiers to leave it unless they were in a special place like the Secret Mirror. However, things from the outside could be brought in, but it would consume a lot of mental energy.
Ren Qi had used up a lot of mental energy to bring in the demonic meat.
Ren Qi called Elise and Risa over and prepared to feed them the demonic meat to help them level up.
