Not far away, Lord Nancy’s stomach growled when she smelled the aroma of food. She quickly took out the ancient token and approached the tree to absorb the energy.
Captain Wendy, who was standing beside her, wanted to say something when she saw this scene. However, she did not know what to say and could only help silently.
Light shone on the ancient token. The giant trees, weeds, and monster corpses all turned into Energy Points and merged into the ancient token.
Seeing the token filled with Energy Points, Lord Nancy was pleasantly surprised. She looked at Li Xuan with gratitude.
“We finally have enough energy. Li Xuan, thank you. Please follow me.”
Lord Nancy immediately invited Li Xuan, and the three of them walked together to the empty space next to the Lord’s mansion.
“To upgrade a Level 2 barracks, you must have a Level 2 lord’s mansion. However, to upgrade a Level 2 lord’s mansion, you need a Level 1 kitchen and a Level 1 toolshed…”
“This is a necessary building. I can’t upgrade without them, so I need to build a kitchen and toolshed,” Lord Nancy explained softly. She was obviously worried that Li Xuan would object.
“Let’s level up. The Energy Points are enough,” Li Xuan waved his hand nonchalantly.
In his previous life, he had played this type of game and knew clearly the requirements to level up. This was also the reason why Li Xuan had brought so many things back.
If it was not enough, he would take out the things in his Portable Space. There were large amounts of dead prey and plants and weeds stored inside.
There were even many plants planted in the Portable Pocket. It could be said that as long as Li Xuan was willing, he could take out a large amount of energy.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Lord Nancy smiled. Two dimples appeared on her fair little face, and her pointy little ears moved at this moment. She looked very cute.
It was a pity that such a cute Lord Nancy did not attract Li Xuan’s attention. Instead, Li Xuan had a question.
“Lord Nancy, are you an Elf?”
“No, I’m not. I’m a descendant of the Ancient God Race. This is our trial ground and an important channel for becoming a god. We can build a base here to prepare for becoming a god.”
“When I built the base, I chose the Elf Race. That’s why I look like an Elf,” Lord Nancy explained with a smile.
“I see. Descendants of the Ancient God Race and becoming a god? Can you tell me about becoming a god?” Li Xuan asked curiously.
“Because of the oath contract, I can only say one thing. When you become a hero in the future, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know the forces behind me. When that time comes, you’ll learn more…”
“What I can say now is that the Ancient God Race is very powerful. They’ve existed for countless years. They’re the main force that fought against the Abyss, and they’re also the strongest guardian god that protects all worlds…”
Lord Nancy’s voice was clear and gentle as she spoke about the situation of the Ancient God Race.
However, after she spoke about a lot of knowledge, inexplicable rules would appear and block these words. On the contrary, Li Xuan and Wendy would not be able to hear it.
Such rules made Li Xuan realize how powerful the Ancient God Race was, and he could not help but become more curious.
Especially since the Ancient God Race was the main force fighting against the Abyss, this really shocked Li Xuan.
“I can only say so much. I can say a lot of knowledge, but you won’t be able to hear it. You won’t have the chance to understand it unless you join the Ancient God Race in the future.”
After saying this seriously, Lord Nancy looked at the ancient token. Seeing the enormous amount of Energy Points, she looked at Li Xuan with a different emotion.
“I’m going to start.”
Boom!
Lord Nancy’s fair hand raised the token high. With a boom, the token glowed and covered the empty space. Soon, a building rose from the ground.
After the light disappeared, the word ‘kitchen’ was written on the door. Two slender cooks slowly walked out of the building and bowed to Lord Nancy.
“Greetings, my lord.”
“Okay, you guys do what you need to do.”
Lord Nancy waved her hand and walked toward the empty space on the side of the kitchen. She raised the ancient token again and released rays of light.
Boom!
With another boom, the building known as the toolshed slowly rose and took shape.
“Greetings, my lord.”
Two heroic female Elves walked out of the toolshed and bowed to the lord.
“Yes.”
Lord Nancy nodded and walked quickly to the front of the Lord’s mansion. She raised her right hand in delight.
[ Hint: you have met the upgrade requirements. Do you wish to upgrade? ]
A message flashed through her mind. Lord Nancy immediately nodded and said, “Upgrade the lord’s mansion.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With Lord Nancy’s clear and melodious voice, the wooden lord’s mansion began to change. From a small wooden house, it gradually turned into a big tree, a tall tree that exuded vitality.
“I’ve succeeded. It’s the Life Tree. One more level and it’ll turn into the Ancient Life Tree.” Lord Nancy clenched her small fists happily.
The upgrading of the lord’s mansion had unlocked many buildings. She could build more buildings and soldiers, and she could even build mounts.
That was why Lord Nancy looked at the Life Tree and was as happy as a child.
When she thought about how this was all Li Xuan’s doing, she could not help but look at Li Xuan and bow deeply to him.
“Thank you, Li Xuan. You can change your class now. There’s no need to upgrade the barracks to Level 2. After the lord’s wooden house has upgraded to the Life Tree, it has unlocked the Archer, Sword-Shield Soldier, and Hunter classes…”
“What class do you want to change to? I think being a Hunter is pretty good. Hunters have a special ability that allows them to better hide in the dark. They are natural-born assassins.”
As Lord Nancy explained, she considered the upcoming class change and said, “An Archer might become an Elf Archer in the future…”
“I’m not sure what a Sword-Shield Soldier will become. A Hunter should also have a stronger class that can be changed. The details will depend on the future.”
After saying this, Lord Nancy blinked her big eyes at Li Xuan, waiting for his choice.
“Then let’s choose the Hunter. I’m still very curious about the Hunter’s abilities,” Li Xuan said calmly.
“Alright.”
Lord Nancy immediately nodded and raised the ancient token high up in the air. Under the dazzling golden light, she began to help Li Xuan with his class change.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A wind-like sound echoed in the air. Li Xuan’s entire body was bathed in the golden light, transforming from the inside out.
He could only feel his soul rapidly strengthening. The speed of his improvement was as fast as lightning. His soul was almost full.
“Soon. I’m getting closer and closer to the Gold Rank Peak. I’m getting closer and closer.”
Li Xuan muttered to himself in surprise. Suddenly, his entire body shook. A tyrannical power spread out from his body. His class change ended at this moment.
Li Xuan clenched his fists as he felt the power contained within his hands. He opened his right hand, and a crescent-shaped scimitar appeared in his palm, emitting a cold light.
Name: Li Xuan
Level: 1 [0/1000]
Class: Hunter
Combat Power: 350
Specialty: assassination, concealment, swordsmanship, logging, weeding, planting, exterminating insects.
Origin: God’s Domain, Nancy’s territory
Potential: unknown
…
“Not bad attributes.”
Li Xuan looked at his attributes, looking at the newly added assassination and concealment abilities. He nodded in satisfaction.
These two abilities were quite suitable for him. They were much stronger than the abilities of Archers and Sword-Shield Soldiers.
However, Li Xuan felt that Enhancement-Type skills were more suitable for him.
After all, he could summon Dark Creatures. If he could enhance them a little more, it would also allow the skeletons to display greater strength.
Unfortunately, this was the Elven Territory and did not have any enhancement abilities. If it was the Undead Territory, perhaps it would be better.
However, he did not know where the Undead Territory was. Even if there was, it was hard to say whether it would be the level of the lord over there.
Li Xuan would not place his hopes on others. He was already very lucky to have met a lord like Nancy. It was enough for him to obtain Soul Power.
Of course, if he became a lord himself, he would not be stuck by others.
“Hmm? become a lord myself?”
Li Xuan was slightly stunned. He felt that this was really a solution. He immediately turned his head to look at Lord Nancy and asked, “Lord, do people like us have a chance to become lords?”
“Huh?”
Lord Nancy frowned when she heard this. She carefully looked at Li Xuan and saw the sincerity in his eyes. She was silent for a long time.
“Yes, but it’s very difficult. There are five conditions. One of them is…”
“What is it?” Li Xuan asked.
“Kill a lord!”
