After the "Statue of Fortune" building was constructed, the "Zi Wei Emperor Star" changed again. As if it had gathered a lot of special energy, it began to upgrade after a flash of light.
It rose from level fifteen to level sixteen, but it didn't stop there. It continued to gather luck, then erupted with another flash of light and upgraded to level seventeen.
Afterward, the speed of gathering luck decreased, but after a long while, the "Zi Wei Emperor Star" still upgraded to level eighteen, and then there were no significant changes.
He went to the "Cinema." This building required spirit coins and spatial stones. He now had quite a few spatial stones and began upgrading this building.
After raising the "Cinema" to level 50, further upgrades would require five-star spatial stones.
He didn't have five-star quality spatial stones now.
He only had up to four-star spatial stones.
After upgrading to level 50, the "Cinema" gained three additional attributes.
[Special Attribute Three: Special items brought out from movies have a certain probability of being converted into special items.]
[Special Attribute Four: Characters brought out from movies have greatly increased quality.]
[Special Attribute Five: Television Drama World]
It is worth mentioning that the "Cinema" could now not only travel to movie worlds but also to television drama worlds.
He looked at a recently broadcast television drama called "Sword Snow Stride."
He wanted to go in and trick some people out, but unfortunately, the cooldown period had not passed yet. He could only wait for the cooldown to finish before entering.
After the "Cinema" level increased, the cooldown period also reduced by three days.
For every ten levels, the cooldown period decreased by one day.
However, with the cooldown reduction buffs from other buildings, he could enter about once every twenty days.
It was still a long way until the next trip.
He then upgraded all other buildings that could be upgraded, using up the materials he had painstakingly accumulated.
The higher these buildings became, the better the materials they required.
High-level materials were simply too difficult to obtain. He looked at this ice and snow world, wondering if he could find any here.
He deployed dozens of reconnaissance and mining machines from his territory, hoping for some results.
The defense towers of his territory were still attacking. He didn't know how many of these monsters there were. He was happy to watch them die like this all day, but only if there were enough of them.
Currently, the number of monsters outside the territory seemed quite substantial.
He went to the "Scripture Pavilion." At this stage, it was better to draw skills to enhance the soldiers' attack methods.
He began to draw.
E-class "Explosive Steps," E-class "Windwalk," A-class "Instant Slash"... S-class "Phantom Blade Technique," D-class "Baji Quan"... SS "Tai Chi Sword Technique," C-class "Sea of Flaming Fire," E-class "Swift Talisman Technique"...
His luck was quite good this time. In fifty skill draws, he obtained two S-class skills.
The skills were varied, covering various professions. He placed these skills on the shelf.
He began to learn.
[Successfully learned "S-grade Phantom Blade Technique!"]
[Successfully learned "SS-grade Tai Chi Sword Technique!"]
He now had two more powerful skills, increasing his offensive options.
Although he could use very few of them, and often didn't even need to use skills to defeat enemies.
But as the saying goes, having more skills never hurts. Learning these skills would always come in handy.
If they weren't needed... he would deal with that then.
He noticed that the entire territory's defenses were too strong, leaving all the soldiers with nothing to do.
He, however, had things to do.
He looked at the treasure chests in his territory; there were hundreds of thousands of them without him realizing it.
In just this short while, hundreds of thousands of monsters had died.
The monsters were of high level, and the treasure chests they dropped were also of high quality, all above bronze.
Ninety-nine percent of the treasure chests dropped by killing monsters only contained soul coins or spirit coins. The remaining 1% had a chance to yield other items.
The higher the quality of the treasure chest, the more soul coins (or spirit coins) it yielded.
Because his territory had a special item drop rate bonus, and with the territory at level 50, the current special item drop rate bonus had reached 50%.
Therefore, when opening these treasure chests, he had a 1.5% chance of opening other items.
From hundreds of thousands of treasure chests, he obtained about ninety million soul coins and over twenty million spirit coins.
There were also some equipment, blueprints, and the like, but not many, totaling just over ten thousand items.
He opened treasure chests mainly for soul coins. Apart from buildings, he wasn't too concerned about other things.
With over ninety million soul coins, he began to summon all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and also leveled them up.
Notably, this summoning resulted in the appearance of several formidable generals, including Xiahou Chun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Cao Ren, all of RR quality.
There were also many SSS-quality generals, and even several R-quality generals.
It was a pity that he didn't summon the formidable generals Xu Chu and Dian Wei, which left him somewhat regretful.
He sent these soldiers into dungeons for now, as the monsters outside the territory wouldn't disappear anytime soon.
Furthermore, as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were a cavalry unit, they didn't have enough mounts for them yet, so they were kept within the territory for the time being.
The monsters outside the territory stopped their assault after about three hours.
Zhou Yan began to issue orders: "Chen Qingzhi, lead five thousand men to attack from the east. Gao Shun, lead five thousand men to attack from the west. Li Guang and Zhang San, lead five thousand men to attack from the south. Xie Xuan and Liu Laozhi, lead five thousand men to attack from the north."
"Yes!"
They each received their orders and headed towards the only bridge outside the city.
Zhou Yan also wished to acquire bridge-related buildings, but these were not things he could simply obtain by wanting them.
He had previously released dozens of intelligent reconnaissance machines. Along the way, they could conduct operations based on the intelligence from the reconnaissance machines.
Their main mission was to kill monsters, collect treasure chests, and report any unusual situations immediately.
He also began to review the footage transmitted back by these reconnaissance machines and discovered a rather peculiar place that looked like a structure made of ice and snow.
He said to Diao Chan and the others, "Let's go take a look at this place."
"Okay!"
"I want to go too!" Sun Shangxiang stepped forward and said to Zhou Yan, "I feel that the female troop I've been training recently is ready. I want to take them out for some practical experience."
Zhou Yan also wanted to witness the exceptional skills of the female soldiers personally trained by Sun Shangxiang, so he nodded and said, "Then I'd like to see it."
"I won't disappoint the Lord," Sun Shangxiang said with confidence.
Not only Zhou Yan but also Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and others were very curious.
Si Teng and Hua Yuerong remained to garrison the territory and handle communications with various parties.
Nie Xiaoqian disliked the daytime and returned to the "Underworld" to cultivate.
Yin Lihua was also responsible for the affairs of the territory, and since her abilities were not suited for combat, she also remained in the territory.
Therefore, only Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, Sun Shangxiang, and Cai Yan accompanied him out.
