Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203

Sorry, something came up at home lately, so I’m posting what I have stored. The pace might not be very fast; I hope for your understanding.

After packing up, there was still some time before the Spatial Gate would close, but Du You didn’t want to stay any longer. By now, he had finished everything he needed to do and had already transported out all the items. Staying here was meaningless.

It was during the opening of the orb that he found something quite good—a Summoning Pearl.

Summoning Pearl: After infusing Magic Power, it will summon a Bone Dragon of level 49. (1/1)

No duration time indicated it was unlimited. However, seeing so many Bone Dragons in the sky, Du You felt too lazy to want it, even though this item was not low-level. He decided to leave it as a reward for his employees later.

Such an item, though only usable by Professionals of the fifth tier, called upon a Bone Dragon that was of a remarkably high level. After use, a newly minted fifth-tier Professional could even combat someone at the peak of the fifth tier—a testament to its value.

So, these items would most likely never make it onto the open market.

Du You opened the spatial channel and then returned with the two sisters. As for those Demonic Flame Bone Dragons, Du You left them there. After all, this was his territory, even if it wasn’t highly regarded.

Arriving back home, the three of them immediately appeared in the City of Islands. At the same time, Du You had someone call Li Minglu over. Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao had just returned from the Other World and conveniently brought their team over. Du You knew all these people, but now they were simply not on the same level as him.

With the help of Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue, some of them had reached the fourth tier, but most were still within the third tier. It was good enough that they weren’t abandoned; what more could they ask for?

In front of Du You, they all bowed their heads in silence. The thought of greeting them faded from Du You’s mind.

"Du You, is there a reason you urgently called for Li Minglu this time?" Li Mengyao walked up, naturally wrapping Du You’s arm with hers, sparking a warm, tender feeling inside him.

The two sisters saw this but acted as if they hadn’t, as this was normal by now.

Xi Qianxue glared at Li Mengyao, then looked at Du You, but said nothing.

Du You subtly struggled, but failing to pull away, he just spoke, "This is the thing, I recently went to the Ice Crystal Plains and accidentally completed a territory mission. Now I have a territory that I don’t find particularly useful. I plan to entrust this territory to the company for full management."

Accidentally? A territory? Since when had territories become so easy to obtain? The crowd had constipated expressions—they didn’t even have territories, yet Du You was at a point where he overlooked them.

"Boss, rest assured, I’ll manage it well," said Li Minglu with a respectful face. Taking control of a territory was a sign of strength. It wasn’t easier to obtain with more strength; in fact, it became harder to trigger a territory mission with higher power levels unless you sought out those special places to claim them through temporary missions.

Of course, it was true that the difficulty in obtaining territories was indeed higher for the higher-leveled individuals.

"Ice Crystal Plains? No wonder you find that place of little use," Xi Qianxue suddenly commented.

"Ah, now I remember, isn’t that the world where you got trapped and we came to rescue you?" Google seaʀᴄh 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Li Mengyao also remembered. As a rarely seen embarrassing moment for her adversary, Li Mengyao had a clear memory of it. She had organized a rescue, but little did she expect that Du You would be faster.

Not only did he help Xi Qianxue escape safely, but he also helped Xi Qianxue obtain her pet, a beast that was even better than what Li Mengyao currently used. Li Mengyao’s pet was falling behind in levels, and she was considering a replacement.

"Exactly, that’s the world. It is indeed barren and lacks good items. By the way, I found the treasure left by the Snow Emperor. Some of the items within are valuable and could perhaps serve as materials for advancement. I’ll list them in the company later on."

Du You added as he recalled something. Xi Qianxue nodded slightly, "That world is very barren, with no specialties or rich production. Even the population and the number of Magical Beasts are few, as are the mission opportunities. But that world isn’t entirely useless," Xi Qianxue concluded.

"Is there any other use for it? If it doesn’t help Professionals advance, then it probably doesn’t have much special use, right?"

Xi Qianxue shook her head, "No, your perspective is somewhat narrow. That world’s environment is quite special."

"Yes, the academy hasn’t given up on that world, which suggests it still holds value," Li Mengyao said, echoing Xi Qianxue. Despite their competition, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to damage Du You’s interests.

"Is that so? I wasn’t aware of that," Du You scratched his head.

Xi Qianxue continued, "The Ice Crystal Plains have a Cold Ice environment, producing some unique Cold Ice Attribute magical beasts. Also, some Cold Ice Attribute professions can be found there. Although the place is barren, it is indispensable. Additionally, the world is relatively safe, making it a suitable location for the less powerful Professionals to train."

"One more thing, the academy controls that world, but they don’t have any territory on the Ice Crystal Plains. Having territory there, you can deepen cooperation with the academy."

Hearing this, Du You’s eyes lit up, but then, thinking of the limited value Ice Crystal Plains had for him, he didn’t place too much importance on it. "Alright, Li Minglu, you take responsibility for communicating with the academy."

Seeing Du You still disinterested in that world, the two shared a look of helplessness. However, they soon smiled, reckoning that this might be why Du You had such strength at his age.

Because he knew what he wanted—strength was the most important to him. He valued only the worlds and items that could boost his strength; those that didn’t serve him personally, no matter how valuable or status-raising, were not of much concern to Du You. Once he became stronger, who would dare to underestimate him?

Perhaps Du You would become the first student in the history of Capital University to reach the sixth tier while still at the academy.

At the sixth tier, even among the families of Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue, one could be considered an honored guest, warranting a personal reception by the family head. Considering Du You’s current age, such a rapid rise in power truly was terrifying.
