The seven-day protection period was a benefit provided by the void to newbie Lords.
During these seven days, newbie Lords could ignore worries about monsters invading their homes and focus fully on clearing monsters, upgrading buildings, and developing their territory.
However, this did not mean newbie Lords were absolutely safe during those seven days.
The protection only blocked monster attacks, not invasions by other newbie Lords.
Though, very few chose to invade others.
A level 1 Lord's Heart, when destroyed, only yielded a few thousand energy, some territory points, and the materials stored in the territory.
In the early stages, except for anomalies like Su Wu, even if others were efficient, how much material could they store?
Effort spent defeating others and taking their materials might not be as worthwhile as focusing on development and clearing monsters nearby.
It was a thankless task.
Therefore, except for extremely special cases, most newbie Lords chose peaceful development early on.
Even if encounters happened, they generally signed contracts and formed alliances to develop surrounding regions.
Someone like Wang Qiang, who summoned troops and prepared to build a large alliance right after arriving, belonged to the ambitious type.
Thinking it over, Su Wu opened Wang Qiang's profile and sent a friend request.
[Request accepted.]
Wang Qiang: "Send me a screenshot of your troop info, just the quality part; other details can be hidden."
Wang Qiang: "Like Rare.jpg, for example."
"I'm not here to join an alliance. I have Su Wu's contact info."
Wang Qiang: "Huh?"
Meanwhile, Wang Qiang, who had just sent a screenshot with ease, was stunned.
He had been casually asking in the chat channel and didn't expect a quick response.
But before he could react, a contract appeared in his private chat.
[Trade Contract]
[Content: Contact info for Su Wu, the first place newbie Lord in Dawn Forest.]
[Reward: 3,000 Energy Points.]
Wang Qiang: "?"
Newbie: "Don't worry, I know all the Lord Assessment S-Tier and second place rewards by heart."
Newbie: "My price is definitely within your budget."
Wang Qiang: "???"
Damn, I only have 3,000 energy now; if I pay that, what do I have left for development?
...
Elsewhere, after sending the contract to Wang Qiang, Su Wu exited the chat channel.
Returning to the Water Elemental Altar, he saw the countdown hit zero and immediately used all slots to summon his second wave of troops.
The familiar aqua-blue Bai Zhi bloomed on the altar.
However, compared to summoning Cang Yue, this time the atmosphere was much calmer.
The blue Bai Zhi gathered in midair, condensing into large glowing orbs.
The orbs fell before Su Wu.
Buzz~!
As the light faded, graceful figures appeared inside.
They were slender, fair-skinned, with a water droplet mark on their foreheads.
[Recruitment complete. Congratulations, you have obtained ten Lord-quality high-tier Water Elementals.]
[High-tier Water Elemental]
[Tier: Lord]

[Spirit: 80]

With total attributes of 100 and 3 to 4 skills, talent level c.
Although far inferior to Cang Yue, Su Wu knew this was already among the top Lord-quality troops.
Without Holy Choice's help, even summoning hundreds of times might not yield one such high-tier Water Elemental.
"Greetings, Lord." All ten high-tier Water Elementals saluted simultaneously.
"Rise."
Su Wu nodded. Just as he was about to speak, the temperature suddenly dropped sharply.
The next second, Cang Yue, emanating cold air, suddenly appeared beside him.
Since he had previously granted her spatial teleport permission, Su Wu was not surprised.
However...
Glancing at the bespectacled rabbit at her feet, Su Wu asked, "Why are you back?"
"I sensed several unknown auras suddenly appearing." Cang Yue pointed to the ten high-tier Water Elementals nearby.
"How large is your perception range?"
"Within 10,000 meters, no major pressure."
"Alright."
Having gradually adapted to Cang Yue's unreasonable power, Su Wu had no strong reaction.
Turning again, Su Wu looked at the trembling high-tier Water Elementals nearby and introduced, "This is your senior, Cang Yue."
"If I'm not around, her orders are the highest, understood?"
"Yes!" x10
[Thanks to Cang Yue's presence, the high-tier Water Elementals are full of confidence in your future.]
[High-tier Water Elementals' loyalty +40.]
[High-tier Water Elementals' loyalty is now full.]
Hearing the good news, Su Wu thoughtfully looked at Cang Yue.
Maybe in the future, when new troops arrive in the territory, taking Cang Yue out for a walk would be a good idea.
