Zhou Yan was completely unaware of the significant impact he had on the outside world. For him, it was merely a matter of building a structure and then evolving it into a planet.
Although this planet was somewhat small, only about the size of a basketball hanging in the sky, its capabilities were immense.
Numerous mysterious forces in the outside world were trying to find the reason behind this celestial phenomenon.
However, they all came up empty-handed. Yet, they had a vague feeling that something significant was about to happen after the change in the heavens and earth.
Within his territory, Zhou Yan began constructing buildings again. He had acquired quite a few, and occasionally purchased more from the [Myriad Worlds Virtual Mall], resulting in a substantial collection of buildings.
These buildings were diverse and varied, including [Chicken Coops], [Duck Pens], [Cattle Sheds], [Flower Beds], [Parks], [Lawns], and even [Equestrian Centers].
Among them, [Flower Beds] were the most numerous, and these buildings naturally had their uses.
After constructing all of them, he further upgraded their quality to the R grade, which was sufficient for now.
Large parts of the territory were greened, with [Flower Beds] planted along the roads, making the entire territory more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.
These buildings had the effect of purifying the air and enhancing the spiritual energy of the territory.
Each building possessed unique functions, let alone his advanced structures.
Constructing these buildings took him a considerable amount of time, after which he headed towards the [Spiritual Energy Courtyard].
Diaochan and the others were in the courtyard. Zhou Yan walked over and asked, "What are you all chatting about?"
"Lord!" Upon seeing Zhou Yan's return, a group of people quickly inquired.
He told them about his successful assessment and then said, "Lord, we've been considering the resource allocation within the territory."
"Oh, this is something I've wanted to address for a while but haven't had the time. Since you've brought it up, let's hear it."
Zhou Yan said.
"It's really not much, just that everyone in the territory should be given spiritual coins. With these spiritual coins, they can not only cultivate but also purchase what they desire,"
"As the territory grows and its population increases, it's becoming quite large, almost a city. Various plans should be implemented accordingly..."
His territory was unlike others, and due to its rapid development, it had already become a city with all necessary facilities.
Everything from shops to various amenities was complete, and with future development, the territory's scale would only grow larger.
The entire territory should operate like a city to foster better development and management.
This was not something a novice lord should be considering at this stage.
However, his territory's development, thanks to the [Myriad Worlds Virtual Mall], had been so rapid that these matters needed to be arranged in advance.
He began discussing with Diaochan and the others, formulating a detailed plan and preparing for its execution.
This also made him realize that the territory was lacking in talents who could handle internal affairs.
Furthermore, such talents should be divided into two categories: those familiar with ancient administrative methods and those proficient in modern management.
For modern talent, he would only look to the [Cinema].
As for ancient talent, he could currently only summon from the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, and he had already summoned several individuals with management skills.
However, they were not true administrative talents; they could only manage other affairs of the territory.
This was not something that could be resolved overnight, so he wasn't overly anxious. The most important thing for now was to establish salary standards for each position and role for the people in the territory.
Zhou Yan was currently very wealthy, so in terms of salaries, every soldier received very high treatment, and the generals with official positions received even more.
These were just temporary plans. For the detailed solutions, he needed to conduct online research and study relevant knowledge.
Developing and building a territory was also a field of study that should not be taken lightly.
After temporarily handling these matters, Zhou Yan said, "It's getting late, everyone should get some rest."
"Yes, Lord."
Everyone left, leaving Zhou Yan alone. But he couldn't remain alone.
It was impossible.
He immediately found Cai Yan's residence and went to her room.
Cai Yan was flustered, her small hands clutching her clothes, and she asked with her head bowed, "Lord, it's so late, is there something you need?"
Zhou Yan walked directly in, closed the door, and said, "To put it briefly, I want you!"
"Ah!" Cai Yan was stunned, having never heard such direct words.
Then, Zhou Yan picked her up and placed her on the bed.
A true man never speaks unnecessary words.
He only acts decisively!
Soon, whimpers could be heard from the room.
The Yin Yang energy within Zhou Yan, nourished by so much Yin energy, had become harmoniously balanced.
This made him even stronger, and his cultivation speed increased significantly.
His realm broke through another level, reaching the forty-sixth level of martial arts.
The further he progressed, the greater the difficulty of improvement.
At his current cultivation speed, he had surpassed many of his peers.
All the women residing in the [Spiritual Energy Courtyard] had finally become his.
After breakfast, he couldn't linger in the territory as he had to return to Ziwei Academy today.
He quickly teleported back to the villa at Ziwei Academy, which was empty.
Today was the first day for the new students; yesterday was just enrollment.
Today, they would be assigned to classes.
The mountain where he lived was for the introductory disciples. In the morning, he could see many students heading to their assemblies.
Lin Tan and Ye Bufan soon spotted Zhou Yan, and they gathered together.
They stood on a martial arts stage. To the left were the repeating introductory disciples who had failed the promotion assessment this year.
They could only wait until next year to try again to become outer disciples.
To the right were the new students, who were now being assigned to classes.
However, their current school uniforms were green, giving off a vibrant green appearance.
A mentor began speaking, "My name is Shen Fugui, and I am the head mentor for Introductory Class One. Those whose names are called out next, please step forward."
"Wang Yang, Zhang Chuling, Qian Xuesen..."
As students were assigned one by one, Zhou Yan soon saw a mentor speak, "Zhou Yan!"
He was called out. This mentor, as introduced, was Yang Junming, who appeared amiable and wise.
Classes one to five were for adventurer-type lord students.
Classes six to ten were for farmer-type lords.
He belonged to Class Three, while Ye Bufan was taken to Class Two.
As for Lin Tan, because he was a farmer-type lord, he was assigned to Class Nine.
They followed their respective mentors and left.
They had expected their classroom to be a single room, but they were mistaken.
Yang Junming led them to a mountain and said, "From now on, this mountain will be your classroom."
"Ah! The entire mountain is the classroom!"
"This is quite extravagant!"
"I thought it would be a single classroom, but it's an independent mountain. This is truly astonishing."
They were indeed surprised. No one had expected that an entire class would occupy a mountain. This demonstrated the profound heritage of Ziwei Academy.
They followed Yang Junming up the mountain.
Along the way, Yang Junming began to explain, "The entire Class Three consists of one hundred and twenty students. You will all study diligently here this year to gain knowledge, which will greatly aid in the development of your territories."
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask the senior students. Although they didn't pass this year, and many have failed for several consecutive years, do not underestimate them."
"Their strength is considerable, and sometimes luck plays a significant role. You will understand this when you undergo your own assessments."
"Now, I will introduce you to the buildings and their functions on this mountain, as well as your upcoming curriculum. Please listen carefully..."
The entire mountain was the classroom for this class, equipped with very comprehensive facilities.
There were various pavilions, gardens, lawns, and even practice rooms, bathrooms, restrooms, and many other buildings.
These were all for the exclusive use of the students in their class.
