Chapter 17

Although Ren Qi could not wait to buy it, he held back and asked the attendant beside him, “What is Tier 0 demonic meat? Why haven’t I heard of it before?”

Previously, Ren Qi only knew that the lowest tier of demonic meat was Tier 1. This was the first time he had seen Tier 0 demonic meat.

The waitress explained, “Tier 0 demonic meat is the demonic meat of a Tier 1 monster cub. The energy contained in it is much less than that of a Tier 1 monster. Most of it is for food, so the price is relatively low.”

Ren Qi suddenly understood. So it was a reserve of food.

Lords and soldiers all needed food. Demonic meat could help soldiers raise their levels and fill their stomachs, but not all lords had sufficient demonic meat.

If they encountered a demon wave or were besieged, the demonic meat could not be replenished in time, so they needed to reserve food.

The most common food reserve was ordinary food, but some soldiers did not eat food. Moreover, if soldiers did not eat demonic meat for a long time, their levels would decline.

Tier 0 demonic meat was between Tier 1 demonic meat and ordinary food. It could satisfy the hunger without dropping the level of the troops. However, it would only improve a soldier’s level slightly, so its value was not high.

This was a good thing!

After all, no one knew what would happen after the Lord’s Space materialized. If they encountered a demon wave and were trapped alive, the reserve food would become very important.

Without any hesitation, Ren Qi used the remaining energy coins to buy all of the Tier 0 demon meat.

A total of 200,000 kilograms of Tier 0 demonic meat had to be delivered to Ren Qi in batches.

After buying the items, Ren Qi returned home.

The delivery speed of Lanhai Exchange was very fast. The first batch of items had already begun to be delivered here.

Ren Qi also began to move these items to the Lord’s Space, although it required a lot of mental strength.

However, the earlier he set them up, the easier it would be later on.

At night, Ren Qi immersed his consciousness into the Lord’s Space and arrived in front of the recruitment pool.

He was going to upgrade the recruitment pool.

To upgrade the recruitment pool, 100 energy crystals and 2 magic crystals were required.

Compared to other recruitment pools, this was considered a relatively harsh condition. After all, this was only a promotion from Tier 1 to Tier 2.

If Ren Qi hadn’t made a bet with Su Haowei, he would probably have to wait until the Lord’s Space materialized to see when he could obtain magic crystals before he could upgrade the recruitment pool.

One hundred energy crystals and two magic crystals were thrown into the recruitment pool in front of him. The entire recruitment pool instantly began to boil.

Soon after, the water in the recruitment pool seemed to have become clearer. The black fog surrounding the statue seemed to have disappeared, allowing the image of the fallen angel to become clearer.

[ Succubus Recruitment Pool (mutation) : Unique ]

[ Recruitment Pool Tier : Tier 2]

[ Two succubi can be recruited every day before the Lord’s Space materializes. Afterwards, you will need 10 energy crystals to recruit two succubi ]

[ Upgrade the recruitment pool to Tier 3 : 1,000 Energy Crystals, 5 magic crystals ]

[ PS: There is a very low probability of recruiting a mutated succubus from the tier 2 mutated succubus recruitment pool. The higher the tier of the recruitment pool, the higher the probability of recruiting a mutated succubus ]

[ PS: The subsequent upgrade of the recruitment pool requires more resources. When the recruitment pool is upgraded to Tier 9, one can directly recruit a fallen angel. ]

Looking at the recruitment pool’s information, Ren Qi raised his eyebrows.

To upgrade to Tier 3 required 1,000 energy crystals and 5 magic crystals. It was really a little exaggerated.

However, when he thought about how the mutant succubus could be upgraded to a fallen angel, Ren Qi felt a little better.

The chances of recruiting a mutated succubus from a Tier 2 pool was still extremely low, but it was at least slightly higher than a Tier 1 pool.

Over the next few days, Ren Qi continued to transport items to the Lord’s Space. After that, he rested and trained his body, continuing the cycle of transporting items.

During these few days, the recruitment pool had recruited Tier 3 succubi, and half of them were mutated succubi. It seemed like his luck was pretty good.

Eight days later, Ren Qi had already transported all the items to the Lord’s Space.

After spending another whole day, Ren Qi had finished setting up all the defensive items, turning the surrounding area into an iron fortress.

Ren Qi believed that after his territory materialized, its defensive power would definitely be at the forefront.

All the demon meat had also been stored up, and he had been feeding the succubi for the past few days.

Because Ren Qi was feeding an average amount, most of the succubi had yet to reach level 10.

Of course, there was a special case, and that was Elise.

Elise was currently a Tier 4 mutated succubi with the strongest combat strength, so Ren Qi had chosen to increase her level.

Currently, Elise was already level 19, and she was about to reach level 20.

Every time she leveled up, she would need even more demonic meat for the next upgrade.

After eating another 20 pounds of Tier 2 demon meat, Elise finally reached level 20.

At level 20, Elise did not change much, but her wings were longer and her pupils had narrowed a little.

After checking Elise’s attributes, Ren Qi revealed an excited smile.

[ Elise: mutated succubus ]

[ Tier: 5]

[ Level: 20]

[ Loyalty: 120]

[Skill: Phantom, Shadow Flower ]

Elise had actually leveled up to a Tier 5 succubus!

Moreover, she had an additional skill, [Shadow Flower].

Ren Qi checked and found that the [Shadow Flower] skill could generate a shadow flower under the enemy’s feet, causing spiritual damage.

With this skill, the succubus’ attack would be greatly enhanced, and Ren Qi’s strength would also be greatly increased.

This made Ren Qi even more determined to prioritize raising Elise’s level.

Time passed bit by bit, and all the examinees were preparing for the materialization of their Lord’s Space.

Those who had money at home and had awakened powerful units were naturally able to transport large amounts of resources into the Lord’s Space. They weren’t afraid of the materialization of their space.

However, those who didn’t have money at home and didn’t have powerful units were more afraid. They could only do their best to improve themselves during this period of time.

Of course, there were also those who were truly afraid and had already decided to give up their territories. They tried their best to raise money to hire a rescue team. They could only rely on the rescue team to return to the city after their Lord’s Space materialized.

Although they would be looked down upon by others and lose their dignity as a person, it was still better than losing their lives.

During this one month, Ren Qi had strengthened the Lord’s Space defences a little. One-third of the succubi he recruited were mutated succubi. Ren Qi was also continuously raising their levels.

After raising Elise to level 25 and the other succubi to level 20, Ren Qi did not have much demon meat left.

Currently, he only had 250kg of Tier 1 demon meat, 100kg of Tier 2 demon meat, and 50kg of Tier 3 demon meat.

Of course, there was still 200,000kg of Tier 0 demon meat that he had not used. All of it was stored in his territory, piled up in warehouses and huge cellars.

After a month, all the examinees were focused.

The various countries also sent their lords from the National Alliance to lead their troops to the surrounding wilderness. If a new lord’s space materialized in the surroundings, they would go and protect it.

After all, this was fresh blood that needed protection.

Under everyone’s tense nerves, the countdown timer slowly reached zero.

The Lord’s Space materialization had begun!
