When Huang Chao took advantage of the situation and the anti-thief forces within the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce were about to move, Liu Cheng's side, or it should be the Yuzhou Research Institute, seemed particularly comfortable.

Despite the turmoil in the world, the pace of research in the institute has not changed in the slightest.

A group of researchers led by Li Su are still obsessed with research all day long.

It's just that the details of the research project of the martial soul are not able to achieve any results in a short period of time, although the research environment is good, Li Su and they have not been able to gain anything in the past few days, but Liu Cheng has gained a lot here.

Liu Cheng's main gains are two, one of which should be on the martial soul, eh, to be exact, it should be on the martial soul task [surrender or death] that he received before.

[Surrender or Death] is Liu Cheng's martial soul task after coming into contact with the martial soul, and now Liu Cheng's special talent [Martial Soul Suppression] comes from this task.

The first round of this task required Liu Cheng to subdue or kill 10 martial soul awakeners, and the current second round is 50, and it just so happened that this task was completed after killing several experimental subjects on the research institute's side.

The completion reward of the second stage of [Surrender or Death] is not bad, in addition to contributing a certain number of cultivation points and a [random treasure chest] to Liu Cheng, the more important point is to strengthen Liu Cheng's special talent martial soul suppression.

After the strengthening, Liu Cheng's special talent has improved a lot.

Martial Soul Crush: A special talent that can effectively hit martial souls, with a cooldown time of one month!

The introduction of the strengthened martial soul talent is quite simple, but as the owner of this martial soul, Liu Cheng knows very well that the power of this talent is not simple.

Before its power, it had at least doubled compared to the previous [Martial Soul Suppression], and maybe even more than that.

In the case of having such a talent to lay the foundation, even if the opponent is an enemy like Zhang Taiyi, Liu Cheng is confident to fight against a wave, or even directly crush it, Liu Cheng's surprise at that time can be imagined.

It is precisely because he is well aware of the strength of the enhanced version of the talent that Liu Cheng will be more attentive to the task of [City or Death 3].

……

Surrender or Death (3)

Mission Type: Martial Soul/Special

Difficulty: ???

Mission Description: Okay, you've completed both missions, and the reason isn't very important to you anymore, go on, go for the third stage of the mission.

Quest completion conditions: Kill or subdue 10 top-level martial spirits or cultural spirits, and one peerless martial soul or peerless cultural spirit

Reward: Martial Soul Talent Increased、????

Quest progress: Top Martial Soul 7/10, Peerless Martial Soul 0/1

…………

Seeing that the top martial soul already had seven degrees of completion, Liu Cheng was a little confused at first, and then thought about the lineup of generals under his command and counted it with his fingers.

In terms of top generals, Zhao Yunyi, Chen Baiyi, Ma Yuan and Lin Chong are all counted, so there are already 4, and there is nothing wrong with counting Dian Xiong, Ertunzi and the third child respectively.

Looking at it this way, it seems that it is not very difficult for Liu Cheng to complete this task (surrender or death).

Now the entire Yuzhou, and even the entire Great Zhou are surging, at this time, if Liu Cheng works harder, maybe this task can be completed in a short time.

However, Liu Cheng didn't seem to have the idea of doing so, and not only that, but he also drew his attention back to the territory.

Liu Cheng's luck was quite good, almost while urging the completion of the task (surrender or death), Liu Cheng glanced at the attributes of his territory, and unexpectedly found that his territory had reached the edge of being upgraded.

There are five conditions for Liu Cheng's territory to be promoted from [county-level] to [county-level].

[The population reaches 2 million! 【With 3 master-level talents! 】 【The number of system legions has reached 50,000 (base force 35)!] 】

[5 top-level generals, 1 top-level Wenchen!] 【Territorial capital 100 million! 】

When Liu Cheng's territory had just been upgraded, when Liu Cheng saw these five conditions, he felt that these five conditions would be difficult to die, and he was afraid that it would take several years to achieve them.

As a result, I didn't expect that a year had not passed, and Liu Cheng's five conditions would be basically met.

In terms of population, after upgrading the [Administrative Hall] to include the natives in the territory, the population has already exceeded one million in the morning.

As for the master-level talent, Liu Cheng only promoted a blacksmith and a mechanic to the master level not long ago, plus Liu Cheng's own talent in alchemy, it is enough for the three of them to be without adding others.

The remaining three are even better, Wenchen has the cheap teacher of Liu Chengjia.

Although Liu Cheng's cheap teacher does not have a historical and literate spirit, his own talent and learning should not be underestimated, and at the beginning of his joining the territory, all aspects of spirit and talent have roughly reached the peak of first-class.

After taking charge of everything in Liu Cheng's territory, Mr. Ronghua's own talent and learning have also been verified, so in a short period of time, he has made a good leap in all aspects and is directly promoted to become a top civil servant.

As for the generals, the seven historical generals with top qualifications under Liu Cheng's command have also grown rapidly after experiencing the battle of the [Counterattack on Chang'an].

By the time Liu Cheng looked at the territory attribute layout, all of the people under his command had advanced to the top level, except for the third child.

In other words, so far, the five conditions required for Liu Cheng to upgrade his territory have been basically met, and only the question of the last 100 million territory funds remains.

This money, if Liu Cheng wants to take it, he can also take it out, but this amount is not small, and now Liu Cheng wants money in all aspects of his territory, and if he takes out 100 million gold at once, it will be overstretched.

Of course, the upgrade of the territory is a big deal, and every upgrade of the territory is quite huge for the improvement of Liu Cheng's strength, so it is impossible for Liu Cheng to give up the upgrade.

He wants to upgrade again, and he doesn't want to spend too much of his own money, do you say there is such a good thing in this world?

Well, if you really want to say this answer, there is actually still one.

Just when Liu Cheng was about to upgrade his territory, the time for the eastern tour seemed to be about the same.

Since everything is so coincidental, it is impossible to say that Liu Cheng will not kill anything at this time.

At this time, the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce was about to take the lead, and Liu Cheng immediately put aside the affairs of Yuzhou first, and returned to the Ryukyu side to prepare for the eastern tour.

I plan to take this opportunity to take a hard bite in this eastern tour......
