"Upgrade all the wooden fences."
[Order received, starting upgrade.]
[Building upgrade detected, Paradise Creation activated, accelerating upgrade speed.]
[Wooden fence upgrade successful.]
[Brand-new wooden fence]
[Durability: 1000/1000]
[Upgrade requirements: 1000 Energy, 10,000 Stone, Level 2 Lord's Heart.]
After seeing off Cang Yue, Su Wu got down to work.
After circling the territory and upgrading all four wooden fences, he came to his only troop building.
"Upgrade Water Elemental Altar."
[Order received, starting upgrade.]
[Building upgrade detected, Paradise Creation activated, accelerating upgrade speed.]
[Water Elemental Altar upgrade successful, daily recruitment chances refreshed.]
Buzz~!
Thanks to Paradise Creation, the Water Elemental Altar was upgraded the next second.
Looking at the newly refreshed altar, which was taller than before, Su Wu opened its attribute page.
[Water Elemental Altar]
[Level: 2]
[Option 1: Recruit 30 Normal-quality Water Elementals daily, each costing 20 Energy.]
[Option 2: Recruit 10 Elite-quality Water Elementals daily, each costing 50 Energy.]
[Durability: 10,000/10,000]
[Note: Very low chance to recruit higher-level Water Elementals. Upgrading the building increases chances to recruit high-tier troops.]
[Upgrade requirements: 15,000 Energy, Level 2 Lord's Heart.]
Compared to level 1, the upgraded altar added the option to summon Elite-quality Water Elementals.
Usually, new Lords would choose based on their talents.
If the talent broadly enhances troop stats, recruiting 30 Normal-quality Water Elementals early on is more cost-effective.
If the talent enhances personal strength or provides small-range buffs centered on oneself, recruiting Elite-quality Water Elementals is better.
For Su Wu, he kept it simple.
[Holy Choice triggered successfully.]
[Option 1, in 10 seconds, consume all Normal-quality recruitment slots to summon 30 Elite-quality Water Elementals.]
[Option 2, in 19 seconds, consume all Normal-quality recruitment slots to summon 10 Rare-quality Water Elementals.]
[Option 3, in 21 seconds, consume all Elite-quality recruitment slots to summon 10 Lord-quality high-tier Water Elementals.]
...
Sure enough, Holy Choice triggered again.
However, unlike before, this result was not ideal in Su Wu's eyes.
"The best outcome is just to use 30 Normal-quality or 10 Elite-quality slots to summon 10 Lord-quality high-tier Water Elementals..."
"As expected, newly born or adult Water Elementals with superior aptitude simply don't care about a newbie Lord like me."
"Also true, once recruited by a Lord, no matter how strong they were before, their level is suppressed to 1 by the void."
"Aside from the well-known great Lords, it's already lucky that so many Lord-level creatures respond to the summons of a just-arrived newbie Lord."
After spending a full ten minutes reviewing all today's options, Su Wu had to admit:
Summoning Cang Yue was truly a miracle.
Without Cang Yue, even if he summoned a hundred Lord-level high-tier Water Elementals, he'd only choose a steady approach.
And once decided, he would never activate the 'Level Skipping' function.
Without Level Skipping, even with 10 Lord-level minions, Su Wu might not survive the attrition of six continuous enemy waves.
"No wonder the SSS-Tier rating rewards are so generous. I was too naive before."
Accepting reality, Su Wu no longer dreamed of summoning another Mythical-quality minion to slaughter enemies wildly.
With a few minutes left before the optimal time condition, he dragged the option out of the list and placed it visibly before him.
With nothing to do for now, Su Wu stood still and opened the chat channel function.
[Please enter your name in the chat channel.]
"Newbie."
[Input successful. Welcome to the chat channel.]
Because names could be duplicated, Su Wu randomly picked one and entered the chat channel successfully.
Bai Yan: "Bosses, anyone forming an alliance? My troops are Goblins, tanky and tough!"
Lu Lang: "Goblins that can tank and fight early on? You didn't summon Big Goblins, did you?"
Shui Shangfei: "Wow! Jealous of the boss above. My Normal-quality Skeletons got half smashed by an Elite monster during exploration. Almost can't survive..."
Bai Yan: "No, I just bragged to attract someone strong. Actually, my summoned troops are just normal-quality Goblins, barely surviving."
Wang Qiang: "Then shut up and get lost."
Wang Qiang: "Elite or above troops wanted for the strong alliance! Message me to join!"
Slacking is nice: "Big brother, you're probably in the second place in Lord Assessment, right?"
Wang Qiang: "Of course, who else but me?"
Wang Qiang: "By the way, if anyone has contact info for first place Su Wu, PM me. Reward generously!"
Bai Yan: "Boss is impressive! No wonder he got S-Tier rating!"
Wang Qiang: "Get lost! If anyone mocks this, I'll go off!"
Wang Qiang: "He got SSS-Tier rating, and I only got S-Tier!"
...
"Hmm?"
Just entering the chat channel and seeing the long stream of messages, Su Wu was stunned.
What's going on? Already causing trouble during newbie protection?
