C2 Overlord Space
Qiang Nantie didn't dive straight into the Overlord Space. First, he made sure to stock up on enough food and water to prevent starvation.
Entering the Overlord Space was a straightforward process. Individuals simply needed to mentally connect with it to teleport inside. Yet, since each Overlord Space was unique, it was impossible to predict where one's territory might materialize.
Every new Lord was granted a one-month grace period as a novice. During this time, their territory resided within a mysterious space, and they were enrolled in a thirty-day novice Overlord Trial. Throughout this trial, territories faced daily monster attacks, with the intensity of these attacks dictated by the quality of one's Overlord Space. The higher the quality, the more formidable the monsters.
Lords who navigated these challenges unscathed received a comprehensive evaluation, with greater rewards for higher scores. Should a Lord's Lord Crystal be destroyed by monsters during the novice phase, their territory would remain intact, but the trial would end prematurely, and they would forfeit any additional rewards.
The novice period was crucial for the average person, as it was the time when the odds of slaying monsters and acquiring valuable items were at their peak. These items could significantly accelerate the development of their Overlord Space.
Luck played a significant role in this process. However, for the wealthy elite, the novice period's rewards were less critical. Even without them, they could invest money to swiftly expand and establish a respectable territory. Some affluent offspring even intentionally failed the trial on the first day by allowing their Lord Crystal to be destroyed, hastening the arrival of their Overlord Space onto the Lord Continent. With their family's resources, they could easily access the necessary manpower and materials to enhance their Overlord Space.
This disparity between the haves and the have-nots was stark.
Qiang Nantie, having learned what essentials to take with him during his school days, gathered his supplies and mentally signaled the Overlord Space to enter.
He emerged into a new realm—a flat expanse of about 100 square meters, with a banda at its center. Outside the thatched hut shone the radiant Lord Crystal. This was his domain.
Building: Lord Crystal
Level: 1 (0/100)
Defense: 100
Description: The central hub of the Overlord Space.
"So this is the Overlord Space. It truly is unlike the outside world—the air here is incredibly fresh."
Qiang Nantie surveyed his surroundings before stepping into the banda.
Inside the banda, the furnishings were sparse, consisting solely of a stone bed with nothing else in sight.
He proceeded to inspect the banda's attributes.
Building: Banda
Level: 1 (0/100)
Defense: 10
Description: A rudimentary banda suitable for dwelling.
"Welcome to the Overlord Space. You have been granted a barracks, an altar, a set of novice gear, and 100 Soul Coins."
"The Novice Trial will soon commence. Throughout the trial, monsters will daily assail the new Overlord. Your rewards for defeating these creatures will be based on your performance. Guard your Lord Crystal well. If the Lord Crystal is destroyed, the novice phase concludes, and you will forfeit the associated rewards."
Several points of light materialized before Qiang Nantie, representing a barracks, an altar, and a set of novice equipment—standard issue for every Overlord upon arrival in the Overlord Space.
The barracks are for summoning troops to engage in combat.
The altar, on the other hand, is quite extraordinary. With a certain expenditure of spirit coins, the Overlord can conjure a variety of items, including equipment, tools, treasures, heroes, and spirit beasts.
Qiang Nantie constructed a barracks and an altar.
As two notifications chimed, Qiang Nantie stepped outside the banda to discover two new structures.
The Overlord Space strategically places buildings in the most optimal layout. Naturally, Qiang Nantie could also directly interface with the Overlord Space to position these structures within his designated territory.
Building: Barracks
Level: 1 (0/100)
Function: Soldier Summoning
Description: Elementary Summoning consumes 10 Soul Coins per use, Intermediate Summoning 50 Soul Coins, and Advanced Summoning 100 Soul Coins.
Building: Altar
Level: 1 (0/100)
Function: Sacrifice
Description: Offering varying amounts of Soul Coins or spirit coins to the Altar bestows the Lord with unexpected rewards.
Spirit Coins are the universal currency used throughout the world, allowing one to purchase any item.
However, Soul Coins can only be acquired by slaying monsters and are non-tradeable.
Soul Coins play a crucial role. They can be used for upgrading buildings and increasing the levels of Lords or Heroes. Additionally, offering them at the Altar can grant Lords unexpected rewards.
Yet, according to textbooks, Altar sacrifices are misleading, so Lords should be cautious about donating too many Soul Coins or Spirit Coins.
At that moment, Qiang Nantie received another prompt.
"Do you wish to activate the auxiliary Overlord Space?"
Upon hearing this, Qiang Nantie's excitement surged. This must be the vibrant Overlord Space he'd heard about. He hadn't anticipated it would manifest on its own. Eager to discover its capabilities, he responded without a second thought, "Activate!"
"The Assistant Overlord Space is now activating."
"Activation successful. Evolving Overlord Space in progress."
Abruptly, the entire Overlord Space burst into color, and the buildings before him began to transform.
"Evolution successful. The Lord Crystal has evolved into the King Crystal."
"Evolution successful. The banda has evolved into the Spirit Vein Bamboo House."
"Evolution successful. The barracks have evolved into the Bronze Bird Terrace."
"Evolution successful. The Altar has evolved into a mysterious store."
Qiang Nantie was astounded.
The Assistant Overlord Space had evolved the entire realm.
Most significantly, this energy had altered his attributes.
He immediately began reviewing his Overlord profile.
