Infinite Evolution of My Territory

"Qiang Nantie, dinner's ready!" Huamo announced as she stepped into the bamboo house, addressing Qiang Nantie.

"I'm famished, perfect timing. Huamo, let's see how your culinary skills stack up," Qiang Nantie said with a smile.

"The spiritual energy here has intensified. Our territory has expanded significantly. The transformation is truly remarkable."

Huamo had observed the astonishing transformations of the buildings surrounding their territory when it was upgraded. Each structure was now more elegant and larger.

"Our territory will only continue to improve."

Stepping outside, Qiang Nantie was greeted by the enticing aroma of a roasted chicken in the pot.

Upon his arrival in the territory, he had brought along a pot and some bowls and chopsticks.

Huamo had gathered wood to roast the chicken, and with the added seasonings, it smelled exceptionally appetizing.

But in the absence of a table, she had no choice but to place it inside the pot.

Qiang Nantie eagerly approached, tore off a chicken leg, and offered it to Huamo, saying, "Let's enjoy it together."

"If it's not to your liking, please don't tease me," Huamo said, her cheeks flushing with a shy blush.

"Your cooking is bound to be tastier than anything I could make."

Qiang Nantie began to eat. The roasted chicken was quite satisfactory, and he didn't hesitate to shower Huamo with compliments.

Huamo was visibly delighted by the praise.

Women do enjoy being complimented, after all.

The territory had grown exponentially. Yet, aside from the buildings, the land surrounding the territory was still just bare earth, requiring stones and spirit coins to pave.

Lords had to spend spirit coins to decorate every inch of their territories.

Qiang Nantie's territory now spanned 4,000 square meters, offering ample space. This was when the Thorny Vine Fence truly showed its worth.

Following the expansion, the fence grew autonomously, enclosing the entire territory without using any resources—an unexpected boon.

To encircle the upgraded territory, other fences would necessitate a certain expenditure of spirit coins.

This saved Qiang Nantie a considerable amount of money.

His spirit coin reserves had dwindled due to the upgrades of various buildings.

Dusk fell.

Qiang Nantie was eager to hunt monsters, but the dangers of the night were far too great.

If an accident were to happen, it would be such a waste.

If he were to die out there, he'd never get the chance to be with Huamo again.

The night belongs to the beasts, making it the most perilous time.

Qiang Nantie gathered all the chests he had collected and presented them to Huamo, saying, "Huamo, it's your turn to let your luck shine."

Qiang Nantie decided to open the chests at night, saving precious daylight hours.

He found he had a knack for time management.

Hundreds of chests lay buried underground.

And there was no fear of monster attacks; the Newbie Trial's end meant the territory was safe.
