From Diao Chan's attributes, it can be seen that she is a hero with both ranged and melee combat capabilities.
What she is demonstrating now should be Diao Chan's skill, Lotus Swordplay.
Diao Chan's heroic and spirited appearance stirred up immense waves in Zhou Yan's heart. She was too beautiful, too captivating.
With a turn of her sword flower, Diao Chan danced her longsword. Each movement seemed to conjure white lotuses in the air, a truly wondrous sight.
Diao Chan moved again. Her footwork was graceful, making it look as if she were dancing rather than fighting enemies.
Sword flowers flew, and two more sounds echoed. Two more black wolf corpses lay on the ground.
Complete domination, with no room for resistance.
Diao Chan's powerful attributes made Zhou Yan fully understand what absolute power meant.
In just a few exchanges, ten black wolves were dead. Diao Chan remained as peerlessly elegant and beautiful as a celestial being.
Her deadly demeanor added a unique heroic charm to her, enhancing her aura.
"These monsters dropped items," Diao Chan shouted to Zhou Yan in the distance after killing the black wolves.
"Oh."
Zhou Yan immediately approached. Ten wooden boxes lay on the ground.
These were dropped after killing the black wolves and were the core of territorial enhancement.
[Item: Wooden Treasure Chest]
[Quality: Wooden]
[Description: Can open various items.]
Treasure chest qualities are divided into: Wooden, Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Lucky Rainbow.
The better the quality of the treasure chest, the better the items that can be obtained.
At this moment, a voice sounded from the territory.
[Newcomer Trial Day 1 Battle End!]
[Settling Rewards!]
[Eliminated 10 Black Wolves.]
[Combat Evaluation: SSS]
[Reward: Basic Reward 20 Soul Coins, 20 Spirit Coins, Basic Building [Fence]. Additional Evaluation Reward: 20 Soul Coins, 20 Spirit Coins, Building [Arrow Tower]]
Zhou Yan's heart leaped with joy.
Newcomers received additional rewards after each day's trial.
Because Diao Chan had a crushing victory, the evaluation was naturally the highest.
"I didn't expect to get two buildings this time. With this, the territory's safety will greatly increase."
This battle yielded 10 Wooden Treasure Chests, 30 Soul Coins, 30 Spirit Coins, the basic building [Fence], and the building [Arrow Tower]. It was a good start.
"As expected of the newcomer trial, the drop rate is indeed high."
During the newcomer trial, every monster dropped a treasure chest. Although it was the lowest-grade Wooden Treasure Chest, the drop rate was considerable.
This was one of the newcomer benefits.
Once the newcomer trial ended, it would be impossible to have such a high drop rate again.
"Chan'er, your luck is quite high. You open the treasure chests," Zhou Yan said.
Higher luck meant better loot. His own luck was only 1 point, nowhere near Diao Chan's 10 points.
"How do I do it?" Diao Chan did not refuse.
"Just hold the treasure chest and silently say 'open'," Zhou Yan replied.
Treasure chests dropped by monsters did not require keys.
However, in the wild, if you found a treasure chest, some required keys of the same level to open.
Moreover, the items in these key-requiring treasure chests were very valuable.
Diao Chan took the treasure chest and silently thought, "Open."
The Wooden Treasure Chest clicked open.
[Congratulations on obtaining Soul Coins +2.]
Diao Chan looked at the two Soul Coins and said, "My luck doesn't seem that good."
Zhou Yan replied, "Wooden Treasure Chests are the lowest grade. It's strange if you can get good things. If it were me, I'd probably only get 1 Soul Coin."
In the early stages, everything was crucial for the territory's development.
Even 1 Soul Coin was a very important resource.
Moreover, most people could only get Spirit Coins.
Diao Chan continued to open treasure chests.
[Congratulations on obtaining Spirit Coins +2.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Soul Coins +2.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Soul Coins +2.]
"This..." Diao Chan looked at these chests, all yielding 2 coins, and began to doubt her luck.
"The maximum you can get from a Wooden Treasure Chest is 2 Soul Coins. You get 2 Soul Coins every time, and you still think your luck isn't high enough? If it were me, I'd probably get mostly Spirit Coins."
Zhou Yan had no doubts about Diao Chan's luck.
While Spirit Coins were also important, their value was much lower compared to Soul Coins.
This was because Spirit Coins could be traded.
You could trade unwanted resources or buildings for Spirit Coins with other lords. However, this function would only be unlocked after the newcomer trial ended.
After hearing Zhou Yan's explanation, Diao Chan finally understood.
She continued to open the treasure chests.
[Congratulations on obtaining Soul Coins +2.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Spirit Coins +2.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Soul Coins +1.]
...
Out of ten Wooden Treasure Chests, Diao Chan only received Spirit Coins 4 times. This luck was indeed very high.
If Zhou Yan had opened them himself, getting 5 instances of 2 Soul Coins would be considered good.
Zhou Yan had no expectations of anything significant from the lowest-grade Wooden Treasure Chests.
The ten Wooden Treasure Chests yielded him 11 Soul Coins and 8 Spirit Coins.
To develop rapidly, his hero needed to become stronger, which required more Soul Coins. However, there were limited ways to acquire them.
The fastest method was to obtain them from treasure chests dropped by various monsters.
Furthermore, these treasure chests could only be opened by the one who killed the monster; others could not open them, nor could they be traded.
If a dropped treasure chest was not picked up within a day, it would disappear.
Soon, the corpses of the ten black wolves on the ground vanished, refreshed by the territory.
Zhou Yan sighed with regret, but he had no collection skill and could not obtain any materials from the black wolves.
Next, Zhou Yan began to construct the [Fence] and [Arrow Tower].
He was very curious to see what these two buildings would become after being evolved by the colorful lord space.
"Ding! Construction of [Fence] complete. [Fence] evolved into [Thorn Fence]."
"Ding! Construction of [Arrow Tower] complete. [Arrow Tower] evolved into [Flame Tower]."
Instantly, a row of fences appeared around the perimeter of the entire territory. They were covered in vines and sharp thorns, with roots burrowing into the earth. These fences were formed from directly grown plants.
[Building: Thorn Fence]
[Level: 1]
[Defense: 1000/1000]
[Special: Repair]
[Description: A fence grown from thorns, with great vitality, capable of self-repairing damaged sections. Unless they are uprooted entirely, as long as a single root remains, they can continue to grow.]
"Holy cow, this is amazing!"
Zhou Yan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the condition of the fence.
This was equivalent to giving him an infinitely repairing fence, one that required no resources to repair. This was truly god-tier.
Although these modified buildings had no inherent quality, every evolved building was no less than an SSS-grade building.
