Lord's residence.
In the study.
Zhou Zhou looked at the map of Thorn Dune in front of him.
[Regional Map Name: Thorn Dune Map (Current Exploration Rate: 3%)]
[Map Quality: Black Iron-Tier]
[Total area: 315 square kilometers]
[Map Introduction: This map has the rough terrain of Thorn Dune and related map information! It includes… The range of scattered monsters, the range and location of the Scarlet Lord's territory.]
"The area of this Black Iron-Tier territory is even smaller than the Blazing Sun Desert and Sand Gold Land."
"However, such a small place actually has so many factions distributed."
Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue as he looked at the many red dots on the map of Thorn Dune.
The Regional Lord Scarlet Lord- Sand Corpse Lord was the largest Scarlet Lord faction amongst them!
There were five ordinary Scarlet Lord factions with Black Iron-Tier territories!
Other than that, there was also a Lord of foreign race and a human Lord faction on Cerulean Planet.
"I've finally encountered a second human Lord faction on Cerulean Planet."
Zhou Zhou's gaze landed on the red dot of the human Lord faction on Cerulean Planet.
This human Lord faction was called Thorn City.
The territory level was Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade.
He had about 200 Military Professionals under him.
According to Wu Tu's description, most of his 200-odd Military Professionals were obtained by buying slaves from Fish Spring Town.
He did not know where the other party got so many Mist Cores to buy so many Military Professionals slaves.
Zhou Zhou looked at the eight Lord factions on the map and thought of something.
There were too many little jerks!
"No matter how many b*stards there are."
"And a fisherman's prey."
"I'll go to Thorn Dune tomorrow to catch these a*sholes here."
Zhou Zhou made up his mind.
The day after tomorrow was the day of the Myriad Races Lord Battlefield event.
He had to think of a way to increase his strength and power before the day after tomorrow.
Moreover, with his current power, these eight Lord factions combined were probably not enough for him to defeat.
Heaven had given it to him, but he had been punished instead!
Naturally, he would not give up the opportunity to swallow this fat piece of meat in front of him.
"Tell me about the surrounding unclaimed areas."
After Zhou Zhou understood the situation in Thorn Dune, he looked up at Wu Tu and said.
"Yes."
"My Lord!"
Wu Tu said respectfully and took out a second map.
This map was not a map of a specific region, but a rough map of the region.
It roughly depicted the area within a radius of nearly 10,000 square kilometers of Blazing Sun City.
Zhou Zhou looked at the map.
There were a total of five areas drawn on it.
The centermost part was the Blazing Sun City Range that already included the Blazing Sun Desert and the Sand Gold Land!
To its right was Thorn Dune, while the area on the left was Fish Spring Town.
Directly below was a Green Bronze-Tier natural disaster zone— the Sandstorm Forbidden Zone!
Below the Sandstorm Forbidden Land was a White Silver-Tier area.
As for the area directly above, it had not been explored yet, so it was an unknown area for the time being.
Zhou Zhou frowned slightly.
Fish Spring Town was a town under the Aurora Kingdom.
He was getting along quite well with the Aurora Kingdom so he naturally would not provoke the Aurora Kingdom after dealing with Thorn Dune.
There was an unknown area directly above Blazing Sun City, so he didn't think about it for the time being.
Directly below was a Green Bronze-Tier forbidden area— Sandstorm Forbidden Land!
"What's going on with this forbidden area?"
Zhou Zhou asked Wu Tu directly.
"I've something to report, my Lord."
"The so-called forbidden zone of natural disasters."
"It refers to an Extraordinary-Tier natural disaster in a certain regional territory or many regional territories that life forms can't interfere with, change, or restore!"
"This kind of Extraordinary-Tier natural disaster is different from Normal natural disasters."
"Once certain regional territories are confirmed as forbidden areas for natural disasters."
"It often means that there are Extraordinary-Tier factors involved in the natural disasters in these areas!"
"For example, this Green Bronze-Tier— Sandstorm Forbidden Land!"
"If it were a Normal natural disaster, it would at most manifest as a short-term sandstorm disaster."
"But in addition to normal sandstorms, there are natural disasters such as elemental riots of wind elements and earth elements!"
"Even if it's a Green Bronze-Tier Professionals, once they're swept into the sandstorm here, I'm afraid they won't even last for 15 minutes before they're torn apart by the violent wind and earth elemental energy inside."
"If Black Iron-Tier Professionals enter, they will die instantly!"
"Only existences above the White Silver-Tier can get through here safely."
"However, we can't stay for long. Otherwise, it's very easy for accidents to happen."
"There was once a White Platinum-Tier adventurer who stayed here for a day and night and never came back."
"That's because this place is extremely dangerous to life forms and doesn't have much value in occupying it."
"Even powerful countries are not interested in occupying such areas. They don't even want it for free."
"That's why the countries on the High Continent call this area a forbidden area because of the natural disasters!"
Wu Tu said.
Zhou Zhou frowned.
Most of his soldiers were at the Black Iron-Tier and Green Bronze-Tier.
If what Wu Tu said was true…
Wouldn't he be completely helpless against this area?
"Then how did you cross this area and know that there was another area behind it?"
Zhou Zhou suddenly thought of something and asked Wu Tu.
"This Sandstorm Forbidden Land has existed for decades."
"Professionals have already explored a sandstorm one-person pathway."
"I passed through this road alone and found out that there was a White Silver-Tier area behind it." Wu Tu said.
"You alone? You're bold enough."
Zhou Zhou looked at him in surprise.
"I've something to report, my Lord."
"This Sandstorm Forbidden Land has already been tried by many people. Even though there are some failures, most life forms have successfully passed through it."
"I've checked the past information of those who passed through it and summarized their experience."
"Only then did I dare to try."
Wu Tu said calmly.
Zhou Zhou looked at him.
He realized that this young man's eyes and actions actually had the calm temperament of an adult after not seeing him for a few days.
How rare.
Zhou Zhou sighed.
At the same time, he admired him even more.
The young man in front of him.
had already surpassed most adults in many ways.
"Well done."
Zhou Zhou praised.
Then, he took out a bottle of Extraordinary-Tier Potential Advancement Potion from his Spatial Ring and handed it to him.
"This is for you."
"Work hard in the future."
"I won't mistreat you."
Zhou Zhou said.
Wu Tu was already dead loyal to him.
In addition, he had done his job so well.
He was naturally willing to spend a lot of money to nurture him.
Wu Tu was stunned.
When he saw the potion in his hand, his eyes immediately became filled with disbelief.
"Thank you for the reward, my Lord!"
Wu Tu immediately knelt down and said excitedly.
At this moment, his face was flushed red, revealing his youthful nature.
Zhou Zhou went forward to help him up.
"In the future, continue to explore all the unknown regions and territories around Blazing Sun City!"
"It would naturally be best if we could draw a map of all their regions."
"Also, if there are any new developments in the future…"
"Report to me anytime!"
"The mission to light up the map around the territory will depend on you."
Zhou Zhou patted his shoulder, looking like he was entrusted with a big responsibility.
Even though Wu Tu did not understand the meme of lighting up the map, he could understand the general meaning of this sentence.
Therefore, he agreed without hesitation.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
A moment later.
Wu Tu left.
Zhou Zhou looked at the map for a while before walking out of the Lord's residence.
He first came to Monster Ranch and found Mu Gu.
Just as he thought.
Mu Gu's Monster Ranch had also advanced from the Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Monster Ranch Master and the Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Monster Shepherd to the White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade Monster Ranch Master and the White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade Monster Shepherd when he was upgrading this territory.
All his skills had advanced from Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade to White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade!
Moreover, he could already manage seven Monster Ranches at the same time!
The upper limit of the number of monsters cultivated in each White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade Monster Ranch had also increased from 1,250 to 1,500!
Moreover, the upper limit of the monster cultivated would also increase from Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade to White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade!
Zhou Zhou was aware of this.
He asked him to bring a group of soldiers and architects to upgrade the four Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Monster Ranches to White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade before tomorrow morning.
In addition, he would build three new Monster Ranches as backup!
In this way…
Mu Gu could nurture 6,000 fog monsters every day in the future!
It greatly increased his fixed daily income!
Zhou Zhou returned immediately after settling Mu Gu's matters.
He did not return to the Lord's residence. Instead, he came to Ashburn and showed him the Yellow Gold-Tier Advance Grade Mist Energy Cannon blueprint, asking if he could learn it.
Ashburn was shocked that Zhou Zhou could find the Mist Energy Cannon's alchemy technology Product Blueprint.
However, he still shook his head.
"My apologies, my Lord."
"I'm only a Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Alchemy Technician now, not even a White Silver-Tier Alchemy Technician."
"Therefore, I can't learn this blueprint for the time being." He said with some regret and shame.
If possible, he did not want to disappoint the Lord. He also wanted to learn how to make this rare Mist Energy Cannon technology.
But he really couldn't learn it.
Zhou Zhou was a little disappointed but not overly so.
Ashburn was able to break through to the Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Alchemy Technician in such a short period of time.
This was already beyond his expectations.
He could not ask for too much.
"It's a pity that this Yellow Gold-Tier Advance Grade Mist Energy Cannon blueprint is wasted."
"I can only find an opportunity to use it in the future." Zhou Zhou thought.
Then, he returned to the Lord's residence and sorted out all the gains from the Novice Lord Test.
The loots from corpses of more than 70,000 Fire Demons had finally been extracted at noon today.
Putting aside the loots that he had calculated before, under the influence of the Perfect Loots, the remaining Loots were:
66,897 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores! 3,376 White Silver-Tier Mist Cores! 514 Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores! 52 White Platinum-Tier Mist Cores!
59,094 Green Bronze-Tier Abyss Crystals! 1,876 White Silver-Tier Abyss Crystals! 114 Yellow Gold-Tier Abyss Crystals! 52 White Platinum-Tier Abyss Crystals!
39,284 Green Bronze-Tier Abyss Contract Books! 21,082 White Silver-Tier Abyss Contract Books! 12,151 Yellow Gold-Tier Abyss Contract Books! 14 White Platinum-Tier Abyss Contract Books!
3,798 bottles of Green Bronze-Tier Potential Advancement Potion! 374 bottles of White Silver-Tier Potential Advancement Potion! 12 bottles of Yellow Gold-Tier Potion! 10 bottles of White Platinum-Tier Potential Advancement Potion!
Two Spatial Rings with a capacity of 100 cubic meters and 1,000 cubic meters respectively!
Other than that, the novice Lord test also brought 438 Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade Life Profession talents to his territory! 30 Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade Life Profession talents! 18 White-Silver Tier Advance Grade Life Profession talents! 18 Yellow Gold-Tier Advance Grade Life Profession talents!
As for the unused Supreme Challenge Immunity Card, it had also become a useless souvenir after the Supreme Challenge.
Other than that, there was also a large number of basic and some high-level resources from the resource bag.
After calculating his gains, Zhou Zhou did not stay up late and returned to his bedroom to rest
