Zhou Yan did not immediately enter the Lord's Space.
He still needed to prepare sufficient food and water, which would ensure he didn't starve to death.
Entering the Lord's Space was simple. He only needed to communicate with his awakened Lord's Space using his mind to be directly teleported inside.
However, because everyone's Lord's Space was unique, no one could predict where their territory would appear.
Fortunately, every new lord had a one-month新手期 (newbie period) at the beginning.
During the newbie period, everyone's territory was situated in a mysterious space, and a thirty-day新手试炼 (newbie trial), also known as the Lord's Assessment, would commence.
Within these thirty days, monsters would attack the territory daily. The strength of these monsters was determined by the quality of the Lord's Space.
The stronger the quality of the Lord's Space, the stronger the monsters that appeared.
Territories that survived the monster attacks would receive a comprehensive evaluation. The higher the evaluation, the greater the rewards obtained.
If a Lord's Crystal was destroyed by monsters during the newbie period, the territory would not disappear. However, the assessment would end prematurely, and no additional rewards would be granted.
The newbie period was crucial for ordinary people, as the monster drop rate was highest during this time, allowing any commoner to rise to power against all odds.
Of course, this also depended entirely on luck.
But for those born into wealth, the newbie period offered no special advantages. They could quickly rise to prominence through their family's financial resources, establishing a decent territory.
Many affluent heirs even chose to have their Lord's Crystal destroyed by monsters on the first day, ending the assessment early. This allowed their Lord's Space to descend onto the Lord's Continent, where they could rely on their family's power to dispatch various personnel and resources for development.
This was the disparity between ordinary people and the wealthy.
Zhou Yan had learned what to bring into his territory during the newbie period long ago when he was still at school.
After preparing the necessary items, Zhou Yan communicated with his Lord's Space and chose to teleport.
"Swish!"
A flash of teleportation light filled Zhou Yan's vision as he arrived in a new world.
It was a flat expanse, about 100 square meters in size. In the center stood a thatched cottage, and most importantly, outside the cottage, a Lord's Crystal pulsed with light. This was his territory.
[Building: Lord's Crystal]
[Level: 1 (0/100)]
[Defense: 100]
[Description: The core hub of the Lord's Space.]
"So, this is the Lord's Space. It's truly different from the outside world. The air here... is so good."
Zhou Yan surveyed his surroundings and then entered the thatched cottage.
The interior of the thatched cottage was simple. Apart from a stone bed, there was nothing else.
He began to inspect the cottage's attributes.
[Building: Thatched Cottage]
[Level: 1 (0/100)]
[Defense: 10]
[Description: A rudimentary thatched cottage, suitable for dwelling.]
[Welcome to the Lord's Space. You have received newbie rewards: one Barracks, one Altar, a set of beginner equipment, and 100 Spirit Coins.]
[Newbie Trial Activated: During the trial, monsters will attack new lords daily. After defeating the monsters, you will receive rewards based on your performance. Please protect your Lord's Crystal. If the Lord's Crystal is destroyed, the newbie period will end, and you will not receive any rewards from this stage.]
Several glowing orbs appeared before Zhou Yan: one for the Barracks, one for the Altar, and one for the beginner equipment. These were items every lord received upon arrival.
The Barracks was used to summon armies for combat.
The Altar was quite magical. By spending a certain amount of Spirit Coins, one could summon various equipment, items, treasures, heroes, spirit beasts, and more.
Zhou Yan utilized the two buildings.
[Barracks built.]
[Altar built.]
Two voices echoed, and Zhou Yan stepped outside the thatched cottage to find two new structures.
The Lord's Space would arrange the buildings in the most logical way. Of course, Zhou Yan could also communicate with the Lord's Space and place these buildings within the confines of his territory.
[Building: Barracks]
[Level: 1 (0/100)]
[Function: Summon Soldiers]
[Description: Basic summon costs 10 Soul Coins, Intermediate summon costs 50 Soul Coins, Advanced summon costs 100 Soul Coins.]
[Building: Altar]
[Level: 1 (0/100)]
[Function: Sacrifice]
[Description: Can sacrifice Soul Coins and Spirit Coins. Depending on the quantity sacrificed, unexpected rewards can be obtained.]
Spirit Coins were the universal currency of this world, usable for purchasing any item.
However, Soul Coins were different. Soul Coins could only be obtained by hunting monsters and were non-tradable.
Soul Coins were used to upgrade buildings or for sacrifices at the Altar to obtain unexpected rewards.
But the textbook had warned him that Altar sacrifices were often a trap, and it was best not to spend too many Soul Coins (Spirit Coins) on them.
Just then, Zhou Yan heard another notification.
"Ding! Activate auxiliary Lord's Space?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan became excited. This must be the colorful Lord's Space. He hadn't expected the colorful Lord's Space to appear on its own and wanted to see what capabilities it possessed.
"Activate!" Zhou Yan commanded without hesitation.
"Ding! Auxiliary Lord's Space is initiating."
"Ding! Activation successful. Evolving Lord's Space."
Suddenly, the entire Lord's Space turned colorful. Especially the buildings before him, which began to transform completely.
"Ding! Evolution successful. Lord's Crystal evolved into [King's Crystal]."
"Ding! Evolution successful. Thatched Cottage evolved into [Spirit Vein Bamboo House]."
"Ding! Evolution successful. Barracks evolved into [Bronze Sparrow Terrace]."
"Ding! Evolution successful. Altar evolved into [Mysterious Shop]."
Zhou Yan was stunned.
This auxiliary space had completely evolved his entire Lord's Space.
Most importantly, this energy had also altered his attributes.
He immediately began to examine his lord information.
[Territory Name: Unnamed]
[Lord: Zhou Yan (Detailed Information)]

[Buildings: King's Crystal (Level 1), Spirit Vein Bamboo House (Level 1), Bronze Sparrow Terrace (Level 1), Mysterious Shop (Level 1)]

He then clicked to view his personal details.

[Charm: 1]

Zhou Yan was utterly bewildered, then doubly bewildered, and then geometrically bewildered.
This auxiliary Lord's Space was simply incredible!
It was important to note that a normal person's initial attribute points were at most 1, yet many of his attributes now surpassed the normal values.
