Chapter 1038: Chapter 1038

After much thought, Du You suddenly said, "Tell me how to obtain the Lord’s qualification. Since you asked me to go there, it must be because it’s possible for me to achieve it." Du You was not foolish; he could certainly understand that.

Li Mengyao smiled slightly, "Here, I’ve prepared it already; take a look." The other party was in no hurry at all.

As Du You and the two sisters examined the information, they pondered thoughtfully. No wonder others had not completed it; the difficulty was indeed too high.

First, one must choose a location in the war zone of the Star Ring Great World and then go to occupy it. This condition existed because the battle between the Star Ring Alliance and the Blood-colored Empire had reached an intense stage.

The Star Ring Alliance had directly issued an order allowing private armaments and various forces to participate in the front lines. As long as one could occupy a minor planet, it would belong to the individual.

If one occupied a normal life-bearing planet, the ownership of that planet must be handed over to the Star Ring Alliance, but an individual could own 30% of the planet’s rights, a rule also established because of this order.

However, for them, the Professionals, wanting to become a Lord involved some additional rules.

First, one could not gain the assistance of local forces, nor could one receive too much help from other people. It could be said that the more people who helped oneself, the stronger one’s forces, the lesser the likelihood of gaining the qualification.

What made Du You stronger than others was that he never teamed up with others; the two sisters were absolute followers. The three of them together were regarded the same as one person, which was a significant advantage.

The second principle was that one needed to select the highest rated minor planet not exceeding one’s own tier to attack.

As long as one could completely seize it and hold it for a period, then one could gain the qualifications to build a territory there. The rule was simple, yet few could achieve it.

Unfortunately, in terms of comparable ratings, for example, Du You had to target a minor planet where the highest combat power reached fourth tier.

Regrettably, technological combat power could not be assessed at the highest level. If they could produce fourth-tier combat power, there would definitely not be just one or two, but a significant number. In such cases, individual power was insufficient, and relying on others’ help practically ruled out the opportunity, creating an unsolvable cycle.

This resulted in others relying merely on luck to hope for a Lord’s qualification, such as the Lord’s Token.

As for Du You, whose personal strength was incomparably mighty, he was entirely different from others. Du You was capable of conquering a war zone by himself and claiming it as his territory.

Others might not realize this, but Li Mengyao was well aware of Du You’s strength. When Du You truly unleashed his power, he was indeed stronger than a normal team of a hundred peers. As long as no extremely strong Professionals could restrain Du You, the power he could wield was terrifying. Particularly in such a war setting, Du You was even better suited.

After reading the rules, Du You exchanged glances with the two sisters, who had no intention of giving their opinions on such a significant matter; it was sufficient for Du You alone to decide. In front of outsiders, the two sisters would not overstep even slightly.

After thinking it over, Du You finally spoke, "Alright, I agree. I will go. A technological territory would be very useful for us, but I need you to find some technological blueprints."

"Great, leave that to us. I remember many people have things like that for sale. However, you need to prepare the same blueprints; it’s hard to buy these things with Crystal Coins alone."

In regular commerce, equipment was the easiest to purchase, while skills were valued much higher than equipment, and the most precious were blueprints. If not for the fact that there were far fewer territories than there were Professionals, the price of blueprints would have been even more exaggerated.

"Sure, you can take all these unnecessary blueprints I have, especially the civilian ones." Du You had accumulated many civilian blueprints, even permanent ones, in his civilian architecture research lab, and he did not mind trading them away.

After reaching the agreement, Du You turned off the communication, checked the items he was carrying, and then proceeded toward the academy with the two sisters. "Let’s go. This opportunity is good for adapting to our own power. After this, we will look for the chance to advance to fifth tier." A gleam of resolve flashed in Du You’s eyes.

Unknowingly, he had grown to this point. This operation was major, definitely a good chance to consolidate their power. Once the power consolidation was complete, Du You certainly would not just drag out time.

Having reached the tier of Lord, it was noticeable, but not too conspicuous, even though standing out.

Being fourth tier was already significant, but reaching the fifth tier absolutely made one a major figure. A master who reached the fifth tier, even in the Capital, would be regarded highly. Only a few sixth-tier entities were above them.

Originally, Du You had declared he never wanted to return to the Star Ring Great World, yet it had not been long, and he found himself going back. Thinking about it, matters of the world were indeed fascinating, never shifting according to personal will.

Upon reaching the academy, Du You specifically went to the technology department, as a large area of the Star Ring Great World was allocated there. Typically, technology-oriented Professionals were based there. As he walked, the department’s students were spirited, believing that the development of the Star Ring Great World was highly beneficial to their department’s improvement.

Last year, because Du You had burst onto the scene, magic-related majors gained a lot of prestige, and other departments were holding their breath. Even though they were all branches of Capital University, there was a competitive relationship among them.

Without revealing his identity, Du You, like everyone else, quietly entered a World Boat. Following the appearance of a spatial passage, Du You and the two sisters went through it, arriving at a familiar place.

This was precisely where they had left last time, the secret chamber of the Professionals Association. They opened the door and the three stepped out. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Wow, it’s Du You. I didn’t think you would come to this world," the newcomer recognized Du You at a glance because the place had been taken over by the academy, and everyone here was a student of the academy.

With a slight smile, in this world, Du You was no ordinary person. Before leaving, he had already reached the rank of Major. As a Major on battlefields outside the Star Ring, he was by no means a minor figure.
