Zhou Yan was completely stunned after he finished reading!
Diao Chan's attributes had all increased by two points!
Even her Charm and Luck had increased by 2 points, which was astonishing.
He knew that heroes summoned by the territory, upon leveling up, would randomly gain attributes based on their inherent characteristics.
However, this did not include Charm and Luck.
For both heroes and lords, Charm and Luck were attributes that could not be increased with attribute points.
They could only be gained through special rewards or equipment.
But Diao Chan was completely different; she gained 2 points in all attributes!
Moreover, according to his knowledge, even heroes of SSS quality would not gain so many attributes upon leveling up.
Based on the increase, Diao Chan gained a staggering 12 attribute points per level!
This was absolutely heaven-defying!
"Among the known information, the highest quality hero is SSS. There is absolutely no information about heroes beyond SSS quality, nor can it be obtained through other channels..."
Zhou Yan did not know if other lords had obtained RRR quality heroes, nor could he compare with heroes of the same quality.
But he knew that Diao Chan's attributes were definitely defying.
The higher her level, the more pronounced the gap between her and other heroes would be.
Every lord gained 3 free attribute points upon leveling up, but Zhou Yan was unsure if he was the same because he had also been enhanced by the colored lord space.
He was very curious about how many attributes he would gain upon leveling up.
Like Diao Chan, it cost 100 Soul Coins to level up from level 0 to level 1.
Ordinary lords and heroes only needed 10 Soul Coins to level up from level 0 to level 1, and even SSS quality heroes only needed 10 Soul Coins.
This made their leveling up ten times more difficult, and especially in the future, the Soul Coins required for leveling up would be an astronomical figure.
Diao Chan felt the powerful energy within her body and realized her strength had increased. She said to Zhou Yan, "You leveled me up."
Zhou Yan stepped forward and replied, "Yes."
"I think you should level yourself up first," Diao Chan said.
"Your strength is high, and we don't know what kind of monsters we might encounter later. Leveling me up only enhances my power slightly, but with your increased level, your strength will increase far more than mine."
Lords did not need to fight monsters directly. Their primary role was to develop and manage the territory, acting as leaders.
In fact, many lords who had developed for many years were only at a few levels.
Of course, the vast majority of lords enjoyed power and would strive to increase their levels to become stronger.
A lord's strength did not solely rely on their level and equipment; another crucial element was cultivation techniques.
Cultivation techniques, skill books, and various rare treasures were the most valuable things in the entire world.
"A Black Iron Treasure Chest dropped." Diao Chan pointed to the chest on the ground.
"Let's see what good things we can get."
Zhou Yan no longer believed in his luck. Those with low luck shouldn't expect to get good items.
When he bought soda, it was always "Thank you for your patronage."
He had never won the lottery.
Diao Chan opened the treasure chest.
[Congratulations on obtaining a Wolf Fang Sword.]
An equipment drop!
Zhou Yan was very surprised and looked at the ground. An exquisite sword appeared on the ground.
[Equipment: Wolf Fang Sword]
[Quality: Black Iron]
[Durability: 10/10]
[Attributes: Strength +4, Sharpness +2, Small chance of causing a tearing effect]
[Equipment Requirement: Strength 3]
Beginner equipment naturally had no requirements, but other equipment could still be used. However, only by meeting the requirements could the equipment's attribute bonuses be fully utilized.
Otherwise, even if you were given a divine artifact, if you did not meet the requirements to equip it, you would not be able to unleash any of its attribute bonuses.
"Take this sword," Diao Chan handed the Wolf Fang Sword to Zhou Yan.
"My strength doesn't meet the requirement. You use it for now," Zhou Yan replied.
"Alright then." Diao Chan gave the beginner sword to Zhou Yan.
Werewolves looked similar to humans. Zhou Yan clearly did not consider such humanoid monsters as food.
Besides, he had already collected enough wild rabbits and black-scaled snakes for food, so he would not have to worry about sustenance in the coming days.
They continued to explore the mist-covered area and discovered more monsters.
"What kind of monster is this? A group of moving stones."
Zhou Yan looked ahead and saw a group of moving stones. Each stone monster was about one meter tall, and they had short little legs, making their gait particularly comical.
[Monster: Stone Sprite]
[Quality: Elite]
[Level: 3]
[Special: Resource Monster]
[Description: These are a special type of resource monster. Upon defeat, they transform into usable stone materials.]
"It's a resource monster!"
Zhou Yan was very surprised. He had heard of resource monsters. These monsters were characterized by their ability to directly drop various resources, such as wood, stone, or even clothing items, making them very rare.
"There are quite a few of them."
Zhou Yan was excited. He looked ahead and saw that the entire mountain range was filled with these Stone Sprites.
"We're rich now! Stone is one of the crucial materials for upgrading the territory. If we can harvest a batch of stone materials in advance, it would be an excellent thing."
During the beginner trial period, there was a very favorable condition for territory upgrades: only Spirit Coins were required to upgrade buildings.
Once the beginner trial ended, this privilege would be gone.
Zhou Yan said to Diao Chan, "Chan'er, your Luck is high. Killing these Stone Sprites will drop more materials."
"I understand."
Diao Chan nodded. Like a blooming immortal lotus, she moved with lightning speed and charged towards the Stone Sprites, killing them one by one with a single sword strike.
[Killed Level 3 Monster, Elite·Stone Sprite, additional reward 6 Soul Coins.]
[Killed Level 3 Monster, Elite·Stone Sprite, additional reward 6 Spirit Coins.]
[Killed Level 3 Monster, Elite·Stone Sprite, additional reward 5 Soul Coins.]
[Killed Level 3 Monster, Elite·Stone Sprite, additional reward 4 Spirit Coins.]
...
Each Stone Sprite dropped at least 4 Soul Coins or Spirit Coins, which was a significant gain.
Of course, this was also related to Diao Chan's Luck.
Monster quality had ten tiers: Normal, Elite, Leader, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, King, and Godly.
The higher the quality of the monster, the greater the rewards.
Diao Chan's strength was formidable. These Stone Sprites were essentially delivering materials to them. Zhou Yan rushed forward to the piles of stones on the ground.
[Picked up One-Star Stone Material x2.]
[Picked up One-Star Stone Material x5.]
[Picked up Two-Star Stone Material x1.]
...
Resource quality was divided into one to nine stars, with one-star being the most common and cheapest.
Using better quality resources to upgrade buildings and the territory could significantly enhance the abilities of those structures.
If you used two-star wood to build a structure, you could not upgrade that structure with lower-grade wood later.
Only large consortiums dared to use high-grade materials to build their territories; most lords used low-grade materials.
