Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204

Du You found a suitable place. This was a decision everyone had made together. Du You himself didn’t care much about this world, but it was not the same for the others. Of course, all Du You did was open a space portal.

This space portal was located near the City of Islands, close to the Capital. Anyone from Capital University wanting to enter could, but accessing other cities through this place was impossible.

Li Minglu organized a team to transport the treasures immediately. Seeing the mountain-like pile of gold and jewels shining under the sun, there truly was a sense of encountering a treasure trove.

Of course, people’s perceptions of treasure had changed now, and since none of them were ordinary people, they didn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, the contents of those boxes were immensely valuable.

Upon opening the boxes, they found some quality armor and weapons that appeared quite decent. If converted into Crystal Coins, they might reach the tier five level. There were also some calligraphy and art pieces, all preserved quite well. Since their former owner, the Snow Emperor, was a peak tier five being, these items, though only moderately regarded, could potentially be materials for advancement.

Naturally, this was for those at tier four, not tier five.

When Xi Qianxue saw these items, she immediately selected one, for a simple reason – she had encountered advancement materials. This further bolstered everyone’s confidence in the batch of items.

After Li Minglu transported the items, the next step was to develop the territory. Because there was a collaboration with the academy, Du You planned to let the academy provide most of the branches of the armed forces’ buildings, simply giving the academy a fair share and convenience in return.

This world wasn’t particularly suitable, and Du You had no intention of wasting time and effort here.

His blueprints were also very precious. The academy valued this world because it could help train students, but in Du You’s eyes, the value of this world was very limited.

Several days later, having rested sufficiently, Du You, with two sisters in tow, visited Yalan World again.

Since Shaliya was busy with many things, they did not see her at home this time, which disappointed Du You.

"Alright, let’s start upgrading now," said Du You as he opened the panel and began adding numerous Crystal Coins. As the exclusive Crystal Coins continued to merge, everyone’s level and skill level began to rise.

The investment this time was twice that of the previous, over two million exclusive blue Crystal Coins. A sum not easily produced by the average person. But for Du You, it was nothing. Before long, all three individuals and their skill levels had reached 49.

This level was nearing the limit of tier five. Advancing one more level meant they would be greeted with advancement quests at any moment. Of course, a breakthrough was currently impossible since there weren’t enough Crystal Coins left.

After the level increase, what followed was the tedious process of refining skills. Even with the aid of the Skill Hall, it would still take several months.

The three of them cultivated their advancement skills and refined their own skill power here, waiting as time passed.

Nowadays, the territory had been planned out nicely. To pass the time, entertainment programs in the area were developing quite well. After all, the entire domain served Du You alone.

"Let’s check out our skills to see if any have changed," Du You spoke to the sisters, "My skill, the King of Skeletons, has allowed me to summon Demonic Flame Skeletons at two levels higher, reaching tier 23. The Bone Dragon skill remains unchanged." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩

Du You continued to check his skills, "Moreover, the number of Resentful Souls produced by the Resentful Souls Domain has increased to a thousand, a bit more than before. Other than that, there are no changes."

A change in one’s own skills was ultimately a good thing, even if it was only two skills that changed. Perhaps more significant changes would come with an advance to tier six, but this was already quite satisfactory.

Meanwhile, the two sisters were also examining their various skill panels.

Soon, the sisters shook their heads, "Our skills haven’t changed. The descriptions are the same as before, and we can only enhance their power proportionally. After refining them completely, our skills should also become stronger."

Du You nodded. Despite some disappointment, this was the expected outcome.

"I wonder how Elsa is doing on her end." Du You took out the various reports his subordinates had handed over, many of which Elsa had formally sent to Shaliya.

Initially, Elsa didn’t take the domain development seriously; it was almost like a game. But as the Fox People became more integrated and these were all Elsa’s people after all, she gradually became more serious.

Shaliya was meticulous in this aspect, never allowing Elsa to mess around. Many issues had to be handled formally. Of course, on the surface, they were each governing independently without any signs of joining forces. However, behind the scenes, Elsa had already begun to promote opinions beneficial to humans and the Shenghai Kingdom.

Similarly, the Shenghai Kingdom did the same, thus improving the perception of people from top to bottom between the two sides.

Consequently, Shaliya even had a Space Transmission Array created to encourage exchanges between the two. As a result, trade between the two expanded gradually. There was just one issue, the Divine Flame Empire sandwiched in between wasn’t fond of Beastmen.

Thus, the Fox People opened a passage all the way to the edge of the sea to the northeast and established a port there. Ultimately, their interactions with Shenghai Kingdom were conducted via maritime trade.

Shenghai Kingdom’s vessels could navigate the outer seas without hindrance. However, of late, Divine Flame Empire seemed to feel threatened by Shenghai Kingdom and started to suppress it continuously from all sides. This suppression suggested that it might not be long before Divine Flame Empire would wage a great war against them.

This was Shaliya’s analysis, but the specifics would only be revealed as events unfolded.

At the same time, Elsa’s development was also very stable, without any significant fluctuations. The fact that she had not yet acquired the Lord’s Mansion nor other significant buildings was actually a relief for Du You.

If Elsa’s domain development had been smooth sailing and she had everything, then it would truly mean she was the protagonist of this world. Being outdone by such a capable sister would make Du You feel rather useless.

"It seems there are no major issues with Elsa’s side, so for the time being, let’s continue as before, taking turns to look after Elsa and prevent her from encountering any unsolvable issues."
