Territory prompt: "Construct [Brave Archer], [Brave Archer] evolves into [Elf Archer]."
Zhou Yan looked at the peculiar tree-shaped barracks before him and found it quite unique. He hadn't expected it to evolve into such a structure.
He examined the barracks. It was merely an S-grade building, of relatively low quality. However, he still possessed some previously evolved buildings that he hadn't bothered with.
Thus, Zhou Yan took out those buildings he had previously considered inadequate and upgraded the quality of this [Elf Archer] barracks to SSS grade.
Elves were flying units and natural archers. Zhou Yan naturally wanted to keep them.
Once the [Elf Archer] barracks reached level 20, it would require Elfwood to upgrade. Zhou Yan had plenty of this wood, as he had maintained contact with people from the Elven realm.
Zhou Yan directly raised the barracks to level 80.
[Building: Elf Archer]
[Level: 80 (Upgrade required)]
[Quality: SSS (Upgrade required)]
[Attributes: For every 1500 Soul Coins consumed, one Elf Archer can be summoned. Current Population Cap (0/100000)]
[Special Attribute 1: Increases Elf flying speed]
[Special Attribute 2: Increases Elf combat power]
[Special Attribute 3: Increases Elf all attributes]
[Special Attribute 4: Increases Elf damage]
[Special Attribute 5: Increases Elf defense]
[Special Attribute 6: Increases Elf damage]
[Special Attribute 7: Increases Elf attack range]
[Special Attribute 8: Reduces damage taken by Elves]
Zhou Yan then began to summon Elf Archers.
[Elf Archer] prompt: "Soul Coins -1500, summon Elf Queen [Aimela] of [Elf Archer]."
Zhou Yan was very surprised. He hadn't expected to summon an Elf Queen with the first summon.
He observed the summoning ritual. A fruit fell from a book, and with a flash of light, it transformed into an exquisitely beautiful woman with a slender figure and a pair of translucent, cicada-wing-like wings.
Her ears were particularly pointed and endearing. Her appearance was stunning, but Zhou Yan had seen plenty of beautiful women.
"Aimela pays respects to the Lord," Aimela said to Zhou Yan.
"From now on, you will command all the [Elf Archers]," Zhou Yan said.
"Yes," Aimela replied.
Zhou Yan subsequently summoned one hundred thousand [Elf Archers]. These elves included both females and males, with females constituting two-thirds of the total.
Looking at the group of graceful and beautiful elves, Zhou Yan found them very pleasing to the eye.
From now on, with these elves in his territory, things would become much livelier.
He also upgraded the elves' levels to 50, and Zhang Liang would arrange all their subsequent affairs.
Afterward, Zhou Yan constructed several more buildings, all of which were existing structures within the territory, so he didn't pay them much mind.
Finally, Zhou Yan took out another building.
[Building: Study]
[Type: Library]
[Quality: R]
[Description: Can be constructed in the territory.]
This was the highest quality building he had obtained this time, and Zhou Yan was eager to see what kind of structure it would evolve into.
Territory prompt: "Construct [Study], [Study] evolves into [Heaven and Earth Library]."
"Heaven and Earth Library?" Zhou Yan looked at the massive quadrangle courtyard with a circular, tower-like structure inside. He was quite surprised and unsure of its function.
This building exuded a profound and mystical aura, seemingly detached and ancient.
Zhou Yan curiously checked the building's functions.
[Building: Heaven and Earth Library]
[Level: 1 (Upgrade required)]
[Quality: ???]
[Special Attribute: Records all events that have occurred between heaven and earth. One event can be consulted daily.]
[Description: A transcendent library existing between heaven and earth, recording all the mysteries of the cosmos. There is no secret it does not know, and it possesses the ability to conceal itself, transcending the Great Dao of the world. No one can ascertain its location, nor can the territory it resides in be discovered.]
"Whoa, that's incredible!" Zhou Yan was thoroughly shocked by the building's capabilities. Being able to consult all events that transpired between heaven and earth was remarkably powerful.
This first attribute alone had astounded Zhou Yan.
Furthermore, the building possessed a hidden ability, the "Dao Concealment" capability, which transcended the world's Great Dao. This was truly formidable.
His territory already had several buildings that concealed various forms of detection, and now this one, which appeared even more potent than the previous ones.
It felt as if all the master architects of buildings had converged in Zhou Yan's territory, creating a sense of competition among these mystical structures.
However, this building's attributes were undeniably superb.
Did this mean that any unanswered questions could be found here, making one omniscient and omniscient?
Zhou Yan checked what was required to upgrade the building and discovered that it needed 'Qi Luck' to level up.
This was the first time he had encountered such an unusual upgrade material.
The consumption of Qi Luck for upgrades was a testament to the building's extraordinary nature.
The more peculiar the building, the greater the surprises it brought upon upgrading.
Zhou Yan glanced at his [Ziwei Imperial Star]'s level, finding that it had already reached level 53.
This building was designed to gather Qi Luck, and he wondered if consuming Qi Luck would affect it.
The concept of Qi Luck was difficult to quantify. While one might argue its lack of tangible impact, Zhou Yan felt it influenced many things. Conversely, if it existed, it was truly intangible.
Zhou Yan decided to upgrade the [Heaven and Earth Library].
Territory prompt: "Consumed 20 Qi Luck, [Heaven and Earth Library] level increased to 2."
Territory prompt: "Consumed 30 Qi Luck, [Heaven and Earth Library] level increased to 3."
Territory prompt: "Consumed 40 Qi Luck, [Heaven and Earth Library] level increased to 4."
...
As Zhou Yan continued upgrading, he observed the changes in his [Ziwei Imperial Star] and found no alteration.
However, Zhou Yan still had a lingering suspicion that the [Ziwei Imperial Star] *was* affected, but the current consumption of Qi Luck was insufficient to impact its level.
Zhou Yan continued upgrading, discovering that the higher the level of the [Heaven and Earth Library], the more Qi Luck it required.
