Chapter 733: Chapter 733

This rest was the most peaceful and comfortable one yet. It wasn’t until noon the next day that Du You finally emerged from his room, feeling more refreshed than ever.

Once he left his room, the only one he saw outside was Huorong Qing; the other three were still sleeping.

"You’re awake. Wait for the others to wake up, then we’ll have a meal and help with the city’s defense. I’ve never encountered such a large-scale war in all my life," Huorong Qing said, turning his back to Du You.

"Is that so? We’re used to it now. We’ve come to this world quite a few times already."

Du You didn’t mention that it was him who sold the co-ordinates of this world to the academy. Without the coordinates he sold to the academy, it would have been impossible for them to invade this world on a large scale and turn it into the state it’s in now.

"You’re right. As Professionals, we have to get used to all of this. If you cannot adapt, you will not become strong. If you’re not strong, you can’t control your own fate."

Witnessing Huorong Qing’s apparent preoccupation with something, Du You did not inquire further. Everyone has their own private concerns, after all.

Long thinking, Du You changed the subject: "By the way, do you know what’s going on with these buildings? This place doesn’t seem to be a territory, why do these functional buildings appear here?"

Ever since they arrived here, the fortress-like structures on the city walls have never ceased their attacks.

Some of these fortresses shimmered with light, unleashing thunderous assaults. Others continuously gathered flaming pellets and fired them off like machine gun turrets. Without these, it wouldn’t be easy to stop the unending wave of demons approaching them.

Without these elements, they couldn’t have found peace here. Read complete versıon only at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

"You’re talking about those things, are you? Indeed, they are territorial functional buildings. As for why they’re established in a place that isn’t divided into territories, it must be a temporary territory. But from what I see, it’s more likely a temporary territory."

"Territorial division, temporary territory? What do they mean?" For the first time, Du You heard of these terms. He had never come across them even when he looked up territory sector information.

Huorong Qing didn’t seem to hold back: "Territorial division refers to using a special division-type treasure to separate part of the territory and place it elsewhere, similar to a subsidiary territory."

"You can construct various buildings on this subsidiary territory just like you can on the main territory. These functional buildings can exhibit normal combat power on subsidiary territories. However, items for territorial division are very rare."

"So, what’s a temporary territory?" Du You continued to inquire.

Keeping his calm tone, Huorong Qing said, "A temporary territory is similar to a divided territory, but instead of dividing the controlled area of the territory, it uses an artifact to carve out a new territory outside the original one. The new territory must be situated in the same world as the original territory. It can’t be created across different worlds."

Du You nodded. It made sense. It would be utter chaos if you could create territories across different worlds at will.

He was indeed amazed, he had not thought that territories could be manipulated in this way.

"After a temporary territory is established, you can construct various functional buildings on this piece of land just like on the normal territory. But temporary territories do have a time limit. Once the time’s up, the temporary territory becomes useless."

"So, will these functional buildings also disappear?" Du You immediately asked.

"Of course not, these functional buildings will remain, but they will shut down their original functions. For example, the defense buildings will not automatically attack and will turn into regular fortresses. The city walls, however, will remain unchanged as long as no special measures are used to boost their defenses. They will keep their current form."

It dawned on Du You, so that’s what it was. Whether it’s divided territories or temporary territories, both are very useful if utilized properly.

To Du You, divided territories were particularly beneficial. For example, there were many places in his territory that he did not wish to control, such as complicated mountain ranges.

If he could separate these places from his control and relocate them to more useful locations away from his territory, like mining areas or crucial war paths, it would be much more efficient than the current situation.

"So how did you determine that this place is a temporary territory, aren’t the two cases the same?"

Huorong Qing glanced at Du You, "First of all, artifacts for territory division are very rare and valuable, no one would waste them recklessly. Secondly, there are only defensive buildings here, clearly no one plans to establish a territory. "

Pointing around him, Huorong Qing continued, "The most important point is, this place isn’t ideal. It’s originally a temporary base. Once the general attack is over, this place will be scrapped. Who would use such a precious artifact here?"

Du You shivered. He seemed to have asked a stupid question.

Of course, any territory should be chosen based on its suitability. Especially for Professionals like them, the future development of a territory is of utmost importance. Any single development of a territory must be carefully considered.

Only Du You could be so casual when building a territory. Everyone else would need to form a team to study various issues in territory development, as well as planning strategies.

Shaking his head, Du You simply opened his panel. The mission to reach the edge of the Rock Plateau had been accomplished. Although this mission were brought up by the earth Professionals, it was indeed an acknowledged task in this world.

Behind it, a treasure chest had appeared. Du You opened the unexplored chest to see what he had acquired.

After the crystal coins, there was only one item left. This time, it was a baton.

Rhythm Baton: A special music boosting tool, it has a unique attraction for certain creatures. (Green)

"What’s this? Special attraction? Never heard of this before." Du You knew for sure it was of no use to him, he didn’t understand why it was given a green rating. Perhaps it had a demand among special groups.

Du You put away the item with a bit of annoyance. He didn’t know anything about the rhythm, and had no intention to learn either. Now, this item was merely something he could sell.

Meanwhile, the door next to Du You was thrown open. Li Mengyao, Lin Yucha, and Lin Yushi came out one after another. Judging by their demeanor, they had rested enough.
