Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: If the prices keep rising, the warehouse will soon be insufficient.

"I've dealt with the Divine Seed, but what about the Red Wind Calamity-this thing is a bit tough to handle."

Qin Muye knew that the Divine Seed was the Divine Seed and the Red Wind Calamity was the Red Wind Calamity. Although they originated from the same source, they were not the same entity.

So his temporary solution for the Divine Seed didn't mean he had temporarily resolved the Red Wind Calamity.

What's more, the level of the Divine Seed was just too low, and he didn't know how to level it up. He had learned from the books he had looted, along with some intelligence, that at least a hundred years had passed since those ancient times.

Under normal circumstances, the growth rate couldn't possibly be so slow.

Therefore, Qin Muye suspected that the other party was stuck in a bottleneck. The Divine Seed was native; if it surrendered to Qin Muye, then it could level up without any bottlenecks, just like Demon Blood and Evil Tongue could by grinding and leveling up.

But now it was different, seemingly tied to the other party's zero Divine Power. After all, the other party did have a part of the half-man, half-ram deity Pan.

Of course, these things didn't have much to do with him, as the matter was now resolved.

Dealing with such a thorny issue couldn't be done by force alone. The best way was to resolve it with the least possible loss.

Thanks to the current event in "Lord Era," Qin Muye had easily resolved the issue.

There was also a component of luck involved; if the Divine Seed hadn't been so special in nature, Qin Muye wouldn't have been able to utilize it. It was just good fortune.

After resolving this matter, Qin Muye naturally went back to his research. He had to admit, creating a Champion Level Spirit Monster artificially was truly challenging.

Especially since it involved aspects of beliefs, the soul, and the mind.

Luckily he had made some progress. Initially, all three aspects evolved from the inside out, but his methods were external and artificial, resulting in a lack of necessary techniques.

Like the issue of insufficient energy, for instance.

To artificially interfere, one would need enough Magic Power, and with Qin Muye's meager reserves, he really couldn't make a splash.

Demon Blood and Evil Tongue reaching Champion Level wasn't due to Qin Muye's Magic Transformation. That was just a small push.

Their advancement was essentially from the inside out, reliant on themselves, not Qin Muye's Magic Transformation.

If it were that simple, wouldn't there be Champion Levels everywhere?

Therefore, to break this barrier from the outside in, enough external influence is needed, which is precisely what Qin Muye was lacking to delve deeper into his research.

Even if he managed to break through, it would require extensive post-interference.

"The repair of the Magic Pool needs to be prioritized now," Qin Muye said, a bit helplessly, as there was still no news about the four Element Cores.

And with a Magic Pool, he would be able to obtain enough energy to support various experiments and research.

"If all else fails, I might have to exchange Resources for a batch," Qin Muye could only place his hopes on the Trading House, as having insufficient intelligence was a troublesome matter. "But being short on resources is still better than being dead, right?" Because this event was milder compared to previous ones, there weren't many Lords who vanished from the Lords Ranking.

However, it was not devoid of them. But now, the top ten names were already at the 5th Rank Champion Level. It was unclear how they had achieved such rapid promotion.

The rank of comprehensive strength corresponded to the rank of one's territory, whereas the subsequent rating was the rating within that rank.

Qin Muye was now at the 2nd rank Champion Level, and unless he could upgrade his territory to the 3rd rank, it would be impossible for him to advance any further.

"Should I also consider upgrading?" Qin Muye looked at his own Level 10 status with a sense of helplessness.

"Forget it, I'll think about it next time there's an event. Right now, there's nowhere to even go for an upgrade," he said.

The vicinity of the Mage Tower Territory had long been cleared of demon blood and become a safe zone; daily patrols failed to find any wild monsters.

The source of wild monsters was the Undead Force, and with its demise, naturally, there would be no more wild monsters spawning.

Unless another Teleportation Gate was found, he could forget about venturing out.

Certainly, if Qin Muye had the strength, he could also leave Red Wind Plain through the Red Wind Calamity, but that was no more appealing than waiting for an event.

[Fang Miao has fulfilled the three-year agreement, your investment yield +1, remaining total yield: 13]

[Fang Miao is being pursued by the Tianlan Sect, your investment yield -0.1, remaining total yield: 12.9]

[Fang Miao...]

Qin Muye noticed that Fang Miao had actually completed the three-year agreement and was then pursued, which resulted in a gain of 1 point in yield, followed by a decline of 0.1 point. By now, Fang Miao had become a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and on this journey, he had even taken up with a female cultivator in the Golden Core Stage-likely the heroine. It was with her help that he was able to escape the pursuit of the Tianlan Sect, and then he was preparing to be apprenticed to the major sect of Canglan Sword Sect.

With returns like these, playing it safe was already paying off handsomely.

Qin Muye guessed that the future gains would be increasingly terrifying. Although he still couldn't make it onto the leaderboard, he believed in Fang Miao; after all, from an initial 0.1, each increase had jumped to 1, quite the turnaround.

Reaching Foundation Establishment in three years wasn't slow at all. His fiancée, who had been lauded as a prodigy, was under the Tianlan Sect's careful training yet had only reached the fifth level of Qi Refinement. In a fight against Fang Miao, she wouldn't stand a chance.

So even if Fang Miao perished now, Qin Muye would still not suffer losses; on the contrary, he would make a significant profit.

A thirteenfold return on a hundred thousand Gold Coins was nothing short of a windfall.

"If it keeps going up like this, I'll need to ask Black Hand to expand the Supplies Warehouse ahead of time," Qin Muye didn't just invest a hundred thousand Gold Coins; he had also invested ordinary and Special Resources.

The returns were currently thirteenfold, yet it was only the second day, with four more days until the closing.

As long as nothing unexpected happened, it was sure to rise even more, and Qin Muye would most definitely reinvest on the day before closing. How could he give up on something so

certain?

"Phew- Not to be disturbed by prosperity or adversity, still, I need to work on my patience," Qin Muye dispelled his daydreams from his mind, as nothing was in hand yet, and everything remained uncertain; it was too early to celebrate.

After all, the higher one stands, sometimes, the more tragic the fall may be.

Fang Miao, now a skyrocketing investment, would cause a major loss for Qin Muye should he

crash.

Therefore, it was necessary to maintain a calm disposition, and of course, if he did incur losses, Qin Muye could accept it. He had backups like the Divine and the Gospel Book-if things went south, he could just cash them out, and maybe even get his Gold Coins and

Resources back.

If he were to lose these two items, Qin Muye wouldn't be too upset. Despite their high level, if they were of no use and were a burden, it wouldn't be a big deal if they were gone.

On the contrary, using his Resources to settle debts at this stage would be a greater loss.

To let go is to gain, for only through relinquishment can one receive.
