Chapter 369: Territory Trait - Ideal City
Chapter 369: Territory Trait - Ideal City
A Glorious Victory.
"Phew, it's done."
Qin Muye let out a sigh of relief. After destroying the insect nest planet and killing all the insectoids, everything was finally settled. This time, his gains were substantial, but it seemed to have stirred up the dissatisfaction of all the major families, schools, and even high-ranking officials within the Great Yin Dynasty, intensifying the conflict between the two sides.
Previously, the Brain Bugs had sent a large number of self-proclaimed 'Celestial Human Empress' mutants. These mutants were all 7th-tier, and they were part of the insectoids, so Qin Muye naturally had to root them out. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to complete the task.
However, these people had been so thoroughly brainwashed that they no longer knew north from south. They allowed the small to dominate the large, and they even sought to protect the other side, claiming that they were the true human lineage. They all believed that if they married this Empress, they could ascend the throne as the new emperor when the time was right.
So when Qin Muye cleared out these mutants, they were filled with rage. Unfortunately, it was all for naught; these mutants had to die, and Qin Muye didn't care about their feelings.
After the killings, these people mourned as if they had lost their wives, almost shouting that the tide would turn in thirty years. However, they kept their hatred hidden due to the power of the spirits.
After that, Qin Muye spent a month cracking the genetic lock on the insect queen's gene bank. Thanks to his powerful talents, he managed to crack it. Once he obtained all the genetic samples, he had the insect queen put to rest.
As a result, he received four Golden Treasure Chests, which he hasn't opened yet, saving them for later.
Of course, before that, just like in the SkyNet era, he exchanged all the special redemption items that could be redeemed. Most of them were insectoid-specific, and Qin Muye couldn't use them directly.
He didn't intend to use them directly; he used them to draw analogies and gain insights. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to crack the insect queen's genetic lock so quickly. This time, the talent for drawing analogies had proven its worth.
Ideal City: We will integrate the world into one city, and build one city to be the world.
Like Common Destiny, Ideal City had no numerical values, only a vague statement, but the changes were quite noticeable.
Qin Muye could feel his entire territory merging, as if it were becoming a single, cohesive entity.
His territory was actually divided into multiple parts, such as Hell's Maze, Floating City, Abyss Layers, and Dream Realm, among others. Previously, these parts needed to be connected, but now, they felt like a single whole.
This was the most obvious change, and there were more that he needed to further develop.
"I have a more substantial grasp of the Endless Abyss? If before it was just a tool, then now it's like an extension of my body?"
Qin Muye had always had some control over the Endless Abyss, but it was like holding a tool in his hand. Now, this control had become a part of his body.
"Just a limited control, like a threshold given to me."
Although there were changes, they were not significant, but at least they gave him hope.
Besides Ideal City, Qin Muye also had two artifacts.
Insect Nest
Rank: Artifact
Attributes:
- All insectoid unit buildings in the territory can recruit 1000% more units (Territory Rank × 1000%).
- All insectoid unit buildings in the territory have a 90% reduction in recruitment costs.
- All insectoid units in the territory have a 50% increase in evolution success rate.
- All insectoid heroes in the territory gain 500% more experience when earning experience.
- All insectoid heroes in the territory gain (Territory Rank × 1000) experience points daily.
- All insectoid heroes in the territory gain (Territory Rank × 1) evolution points daily.
This artifact, the Insect Nest, was completely useless to Qin Muye. It was limited to insectoids, and the insectoids seemed to have a different system from normal races, such as evolution points, which he had never heard of, even in the information provided by the Brain Bugs.
So, it was likely that he would need to convert his territory to an insectoid-type territory and change his units and heroes to insectoids to fully activate it.
"Really unlucky. I can only store it in the warehouse for now, and when I have the ability to modify artifacts, I'll take action." Qin Muye had no choice; the name alone was "Insect Nest," and it was obtained from the insectoid invasion event, so it was clearly intended for the corresponding race.
Just like the Fire Seed Source and Strategic Defense System from the SkyNet era activities, those were also very powerful, but they had many restrictions.
The greater the restriction, the stronger it naturally is. It's quite normal for the Insect Nest to be limited to insectoids.
Clan
Rank: Artifact
Attributes:
- When there are 2 or more factions in the territory, all heroes and units gain +10 loyalty/morale.
- When there are 3 or more factions in the territory, all resource production increases by (Territory Rank × 10%).
- When there are 4 or more factions in the territory, daily gold production increases by (Territory Rank × 100%).
- When there are 5 or more factions in the territory, all heroes and units gain +1 maximum HP daily.
- When there are 6 or more factions in the territory, all heroes and units gain +1 maximum mana daily.
- When there are 7 or more factions in the territory, all heroes and units gain +1 attack daily.
- When there are 8 or more factions in the territory, all heroes and units gain +1 defense daily.
- When there are 9 or more factions in the territory, all heroes and units gain a (Territory Rank × 10%) increase in all attributes during battles.
- When there are 10 or more factions in the territory, all heroes and units gain (Territory Rank × 10) points in all attributes per minute during battles, with no upper limit, until the battle ends.
There are ten attributes, all related to factions. This means that to activate all of them, there must be at least 10 factions. Qin Muye took a look and was surprised to find that all of them were already activated? This made him a bit skeptical.
In his impression, factions should be like powerful parties, mostly fighting to the death, but there was no such situation in his territory. However, upon closer thought, there were indeed factions.
The Enlightenment and Evangelical Goblins formed their own faction, ignoring everyone except Qin Muye.
The Black Hand and the Smiling Wolf colluded to harm outsiders, so they were also a faction.
The Iron Bone, White Dove, and Plague Goblins, as part of the city defense system, naturally stuck together.
Additionally, agriculture, animal husbandry, and handicrafts were also divided into various factions. There was no open conflict because there were no actual interests at stake, but others who wanted to join a faction had to be of the same type of hero, or they wouldn't be able to join.
Factions existed, but there was no conflict, as the goblins' factions were based on their roles. For example, Iron Bone and White Dove completely ignored Black Hand's orders outside of official duties.
While Enlightenment was powerful, it did not interfere with the city defense system and could not command the Black Hand's executive goblins.
All the goblins in the Endless Abyss were connected by Qin Muye at the center, forming a massive force.
They were only responsible to Qin Muye, not to any other goblins.
This was the pinnacle of centralized power.
After understanding the cause and effect, Qin Muye felt a bit amused and helpless. He never expected the goblins under his command to form such a peculiar relationship. If you called them factions, what kind of factions were they? They were just doing their respective jobs.
If you said they weren't factions, even the game "Lord of the Ages" recognized them as such, so how could they not be counted?
However, Qin Muye didn't intend to dwell on this. He simply threw the artifact into the material warehouse to gather dust, as long as he could enjoy the bonuses.
As long as Qin Muye lived, the Endless Abyss would not fall into chaos. If he died, he wouldn't care about the chaos anyway.
As long as he could enjoy the benefits, that was enough.
"Let's go through a dungeon first and cash in all the gains from this time. I'll also complete my advancement task while I'm at it."
He had been thinking about going through a dungeon, but he kept delaying it. Mainly, he felt the current situation was a bit strange. He needed to settle down for a while. When he returned, there might be a qualitative leap.
After all, he was determined to devour a dungeon world. Although the insect nest planet was gone, if he could devour a real world, reaching a 7th-tier territory would be within reach. Probably.
As long as his territory was 7th-tier and he had 7th-tier goblins, he might be able to deal with high-dimensional demons and the Endless Cycle.
