Seeing the beast meat that he received in this battle, Qin Tian smiled.

"With the beast meat in stock, it seems like I can scam that Lieutenant Colonel Lin Feng again with a few Ordinary Buildings. I wonder what face he'll make when he learns he has to give me some buildings again." Qin Tian smirked deviously, picturing the annoyed expression on Lin Feng's face.

In the past few days, he had sold all the 1-star beast meat that he received to the military and other lords. However, as the Novice Trial progresses, some of the Lords would stop having interest in buying his meat since they had the chance to receive buildings that produced a stable supply of food or the beasts they faced finally dropped meat.

Of course, there were also some Lords who came from powerful families that came to buy from him and contacted him. Of course, for the sake of only hoping to secure his favor or even his loyalty, not for buying his meat. However, for these types of people, Qin Tian just sneered.

However, for these type of people, Qin Tian just sneered.

"These rich guys are trying to throw me an olive branch. However, I'm already admitted to Heavenly Immortal Academy, and if I show even just a little bit of my strength, I can receive resources that will help me crush anyone."

Qin Tian turned his attention to the other rewards.

"Not bad, I actually received a lot of 2-star beast cores. I can upgrade all the buildings, or maybe even the new buildings I received today."

Then his eyes landed on a particular item.

"Oh, Immortal Slayer Crossbow, haven't seen you here before. The name sounds good, but I hope the attributes also sound good."

[Immortal Slayer Crossbow (Mythical)]

[Level 1]

[[Requirements for upgrade: 1-star Beast Core x1, 100 1-star wood, 100 1-star stone, 100 spirit coins]

[Range: 100km]

[Description: A Heavy Crossbow Tower evolved by the Taboo Talent: Immortal. It is a defensive building filled with immortal essence. It needs to be supplied with Qi for a long time before it can be used]

[Reserve: 0/10,000 Qi]

[Two modes: Burst Fire and One-Shot Kill]

[Burst Fire: Fires 100 shots consecutively on the targeted location, each shot costs 100 Qi to fire, and deals low damage]

[One-Shot Kill: Fires a shot onto an enemy, and each shot costs 10,000 Qi to fire, dealing massive damage. The bolt tracks the enemy and makes sure that it lands]

[Attribute 1: Enhanced vision that allows it to detect invisible or hidden enemies within its range.]

Qin Tian scratched his head, an amused smirk forming on his lips. "Massive damage, huh? Thanks for the detailed explanation, Heavenly Dao. Does 'massive damage' mean it's going to obliterate a mountain or just create a small pothole?"

He chuckled, envisioning a dramatic explosion versus a tiny puff of smoke that even someone's butt can do. "I guess I'll just have to test it out and see what this 'massive damage' really means. Hopefully, it's not just a glorified firecracker."

"Spirit Well and Spirit Farm again," he muttered. "In fact, I also received a Spirit Well and a Spirit Farm yesterday. One thing that I couldn't help but be annoyed about is that I couldn't receive any wood or stone production-type buildings. Instead, all I received were defensive buildings."

Qin Tian sighed but quickly perked up at another thought. "Another Great Wall can boost my defense. So far, I've already got a total of nine Great Walls, and because it's too slow to form a ring protecting my base, I'll use the other Great Walls to speed it up."

"With this, my defenses will be hard to penetrate. Unless some golden lightning comes and some huge naked dude suddenly kicks my walls," he joked, laughing at remembering his favorite anime.

However, seeing the last part of the reward, Qin Tian couldn't help but exclaim out loud, "F*ck!"

Qin Tian couldn't imagine that even items that were against him would also be transformed.

An Abyss Mark meant being gazed by the Abyss. The Abyss was a special place in Global Lords. In the Novice Domain, there were two realms: the Lords Realm and the Abyss Realm.

The Abyss Realm was full of demons who all tried to destroy and plunder the world. However, as menacing as it sounded, it was actually treated by the Lords in Global Lords as a pile of gold. This was because, in the Novice Domain, there were only two ways to get treasure chests that contained buildings, heroes, equipment, etc.

One was through the "natives" of Global Lords. The so-called natives were the people who originally lived in the Lords Realm before being occupied by the Lords. These people could either be slain to get massive rewards or their allegiance could be gained, making them troops or heroes under the Lord.

The second was through the Abyss Realm. At some point in time, the Abyss would invade the Lords Realm to cause chaos and plunder resources, and these invasions could range from small-scale incursions to large-scale realm vs realm battles.

When this invasion started, the Heavenly Dao System of Global Lords would issue an event in the Novice Domain, where Lords could slay demons invading in exchange for massive rewards. This was why strong Novice Lords got excited when they received an Abyss Mark.

However, receiving an Abyss Mark in the Novice Trial was tantamount to death. The lowest level demon in a common-quality Abyss Mark was already level 10. At this stage, probably only Qin Tian and some other guys coming from rich families could stand this.

"I hope the Heavenly Dao System suppresses the demons that come out of the Abyss Mark," Qin Tian thought. The Novice Trial was a virtual world formed by the Heavenly Dao System for the Lords who had just awakened, and all the Lords were on a huge continent, unlike in the Novice Domain where a Lord had his/her own flying continent.

This meant that once the Abyss started to invade here, all the Lords participating in the Novice Trial would be eliminated. Don't underestimate how fast the Abyss could invade something. The Heavenly Dao would for sure suppress this and avoid it from happening.

[Abyss Mark (Mythical)]

[Description: Originally a soul of an Epic Level Hell Demon General after it dies, it has been evolved by the talent [Immortal]. This will allow the Abyss to track you. After you receive this mark, the Abyss will come knocking on your doors the next day]

"Huh? I thought that it would be transformed to something with Immortal characteristics? But the description didn't change? Does this mean that the Abyss is somehow related to the Immortal World?" Qin Tian frowned and was baffled.

"I should get prepared for tomorrow. It's the last day of the Beast Siege event, and the Abyss will invade me tomorrow," Qin Tian thought.

"Status."

[Territory: Immortal Realm]

[Talents: Immortal (Taboo), Music Immortal (Divine)]

[Spirit Coins: 202,681,292]

Qin Tian nodded, satisfied with his attributes, though he thought to himself, "Is this enough for tomorrow? I'm afraid that the lowest level troop in the Abyss invasion tomorrow will be level 30 or level 40 at least… And because this Abyss Mark is Mythical quality, it means a Mythical boss will also arrive."

"Although my Lord Crystal can't be destroyed, and I will still live, all my efforts will go to waste. I also can't afford a second chance. If all my buildings get destroyed tomorrow, then even if I don't get kicked out, I will arrive in the Novice Domain without any territory, which is tantamount to death."

"That's why… tomorrow, I need to at least prevent my territory from being destroyed. No, I need to crush the demons tomorrow." Qin Tian's fists clenched.

Tomorrow is bound to bring pain and even an unexpected surprise for Qin Tian.
