Stargazers floated a few meters away from Zack, watching him warily. She seemed almost unable to reconcile the unkempt homeless man of a few months ago with the man in front of her.

"It's only been a few months, but you've changed a lot," she said, her beautiful eyes twinkling with stardust.

Zach turned around and looked directly into the huge eye, which looked like a cosmic cloud surrounding a black hole.

"Yes, well, I was told that the system would kill me unless I defeated the demon invasion. Five months of continuous fighting will change you," said Zach, who couldn't hide his anger.

"Ah, well, about that......" Abby said, looking away uncomfortably.

Zach just snorted and opened the menu. Abby can be silent in an uncomfortable silence.

In the past day, his attributes have improved a lot. Vitality improved the most, by more than 50 points. While it wasn't enough to heal his wounds, it was still a great help. The stronger his life force, the less he needs to spend energy on the tree to control the poison gas.

Obviously, the biggest reason for his improvement comes from his new title.

[Ancestral Overlord: The first to become a lord in the world.] Bonus: +10 for all stats. ]

Unfortunately, it doesn't give out any new percentage bonuses, but it gives him the biggest fixed prize of all the titles he has so far. Judging by the system's high appreciation of the throne, he guessed that becoming a world leader would bring a big boost. In addition to this, there is the possibility that he only got the quest update because he was about to become the first liege, and this update greatly increased his rewards.

Next, he opened his knife menu, and the changed lines clearly showed where most of the increased vitality was coming from.

Shen (Medium): Arm Strength +15, Stamina +10, Intelligence +5

Acuity (early): +10 dexterity, +5 intelligence

Stamina +5+5 Tree: Vitality

Just as he suspected that his Tree Knife had evolved, this particular improvement only gave it vitality. His insight into the Tao was about the ruthless life on the tree, which he felt was a great addition to his other attributes. His dynamism has begun to lag behind his other stats, as he has recently been forced to focus on dexterity to complement his ridiculous powers.

In fact, Zach also breathed life into his last two divisions of six free points to fight the wounds, as he didn't know that his knife would have a sudden breakthrough.

He finally opened his search screen.

Active tasks

The first step of hegemony (unique, limited): enter the preliminary examination within one month. Rise to the challenge. Rewards: [Aion] Token, [F-Rank Sword] (01)

Dynamic tasks

Invasion Master (Unique): Shut down or conquer the invasion and protect the town from the inhabitants or other faction forces for 3 months. Rewards: Towns are upgraded to Global Cities and their status is upgraded to Lords according to the level restriction structure. The road to hegemony is open. (33) [Done]

Class tasks

The Invasion Master is still there, even if the timer is gone, so Zach guesses he has to go to the nexus node again to cash in on his new building. Two other rewards he has already received.

However, he was more interested in another task. This is clearly related to the path of hegemony. He also knows both kinds of rewards. A sword treasure was something he wanted from the beginning, as he felt that raising the knife to a high enough level that it would be the biggest trouble for him to upgrade to an epic level.

As for the Tower of Eternity, he had heard of it too. Erin had already mentioned it, but he would have to look into it later. He can't do it now, but he'll probably try again when he finds his sister. Zach grunted and stood up, turning to walk towards the nearby floating stargazers.

"You know, violence against system employees is absolutely illegal," Abby said, trembling nervously.

"Follow me," Zach said only as he walked out of the yard.

"I see your home looks much better," Abby said, seemingly anxious to change the subject.

"Then why did you come back?" Zach asked, even though he knew the answer. "Another tutorial?"

"No, I'm here forever this time. You have become a true lord, and I have been sent to manage your estate. Powerful countries rarely have the time and interest to manage their realms because they are too busy exploring occult realms or cultivating. As a result, they need a functioning support system to handle the details of everything from a city to an empire," Abby quickly explained as she lingered next to Zach as she walked through the mansion.

"So you want to run my town? Why should I let you? I've been told that you lied for a promotion. "I'm not sure I want to give Port Atwood to someone like that," Zach said as he walked into the hall with the nexus nodes.

"Who told you that?" said Abby angrily. "I could have distorted the facts, but it was for you. I was even punished for doing what I could to help others, and I almost lost my job!"

"So that's what that lying stargazer is getting into so much trouble with? A visibly annoyed voice echoed through the hall as the shadows condensed into a monster.

"Demon, why are you still here? Lord Zack should have defeated you," Abby said with a frown.

Ogras said: "Zach and I made a deal that we were going to stay. ”。 "Someone has to make sure that a big power guster doesn't cross the line. ”

"Hey! is a stargazer trying to impregnate a star. "From countless of its kind," Abby screamed angrily at the demon.

"Wait, what?" Zach said, basically ignoring the argument between the two. "One of you wants to have sex with a celebrity?"

"One of the greatest powers of stargazers has fallen in love with a damn star. Made his wife, there was a ceremony or something. The entire multiverse has been laughing for millennia," Ogras said, barely holding back his laughter, and Zach couldn't help but tug his mouth up as he glanced at the angry stargazers.

"It's not that simple. You know, 800,000 years later, the two are still happily married.

Unfortunately, her explanation didn't have the desired effect, as Ogras started laughing out loud and Zach couldn't stop snorting when he turned around and touched the crystal.

[Calculating.] Reward Level: B. Contribution Level: 1. Reward level increased to A]

Zach frowned when he saw the prompt appear in front of him.

"Have you gained wealth from second on the contribution ladder?" he asked, pausing the quarrel behind him.

"No, no one gets anything. I'm angry, but we've made a lot of money out of the store again," Ogras said, grimacing as he looked down at the stump on his arm. "If I knew I didn't have a prize money at the end, I probably wouldn't have worked as hard. Why, what do you get?"

"It's nothing, that's why I asked," Zach replied, a little bad about the current situation.

He's excited about the A-class in the mission, though he really prefers something that gives him direct motivation. For example, a Dao treasure or some fruit that can improve all of his stats.

A high-level structure can be very beneficial in the long run, but now he is facing enemies from all sides. There are invaders, undead, juggernauts, and even humans. He needs short-term support now.

"Oh, wow!" Abby suddenly shouted, and she floated to Zach. "What did you do to get these rewards?"

Zach looked at the stargazer in confusion, not understanding what Abby was talking about. He'd just touched the crystal, but he hadn't seen the structure yet.

"What are you talking about?" Zach asked.

"Well, I'm your assistant, so I have access to your town's administrative functions. With the help of the class, I can see more than you," she said, looking proud.

"Also known as a spy," Ogras sneered, drawing angry stares from stargazers.

"It's not espionage, you know we stargazers don't play politics, we work for the system itself, or for the House of Lords we've been assigned to. ”

However, the Pavilion of the Thousand Eyes, managed by stargazers, seems to know everything. How's that going?"

"That's because the House of Lords is voluntarily selling information, not because we're spying," she retorted angrily.

"The House of Lords sells their own information? Why would they do that?" Zach asked suspiciously.

In particular, if the gazer's network information is limited, she begins to transmit the information to the stars. As Zach considered his options, he began to frown. Even if he had to take drastic measures, he would not allow the fact that a single creator shipyard was sent to 10,000 empty alleys.

Abby saw the look on Zach's face and slowly drifted away.

"I swear we will not, and cannot, divulge any of our boroughs. Most of the nobles sold public information about their towns, as the Thousand Eyes Pavilion had a high income. But these packages don't contain any sensitive information, just standard stuff that anyone can discover after a few minutes of access. "The House of Lords thinks it's free money," Abby defended.

"She's probably telling the truth. This. Almost all lords in the multiverse have such assistants, and if there is a loophole, they will not keep them around," Ogras shrugged.

"What is it?" "We are stargazers, born into the universe," Abby said huffingly, forming a cloud in the hall that looked like a nebula.

"Alright, alright," Zach sighed. "What about the reward? How do you know what it is? It's not even built yet. ”

"I'm putting construction on hold so you can decide where you're going. ”

"So, what is this?" Zach asked curiously, and even the devil shut his mouth and looked at it expectantly.

"Shouldn't we do this without any security risks?" Abby asked, looking directly at Ogras and making no secret of what she was saying.

The devil just snorted and ignored her comments.

"Ogras is the second-in-command in town, and he already knows the Creator Shipyard. For better or worse, we're already in this together. Now, what is it?"

"It's an ancient knife storehouse. It could be that someone discovered it in some mysterious area and sold it to the system," Abby said, unable to contain her excitement any longer.

"What?" Zach asked, confused, but the demon looked visibly agitated.

"You and your system ruined your luck. "I'm surprised you don't go where you don't have a relationship crystal," Ogras spat out, looking disgusting.

"The DA company repository is generally one of the most important areas of any army. It contains the skills and techniques that they have accumulated over thousands of years. A proper repository has an autonomous defense system," Abby explained. "The way they work varies widely, depending on what the goals of the troops building it have. I don't have this information. ”

"So this is a building that contains skills that I can get for free?" Zach asked excitedly.

"Maybe, maybe not," Ogras said. "Even permanent skill crystals can't be used at will. There are some limitations, such as the maximum usage per month or year. The more complex the technique, the less useful the crystal becomes. ”

"So, you're going to have to pay to use the crystal?" Zach asked.

"Usually you have to prove yourself. Just imagine if some rich waste used crystals as a top skill in an army, and suddenly no real warrior could learn the skill for a thousand years. Such a thing would ruin a force. So there are often checks. Who knows, maybe even if you own this building, you won't be able to get the best skills," Ogras said, looking a little funny.

Presenting a blueprint for the future of Port Atwood, Zach said, "It doesn't sound like a secret knife storehouse. ”。 "Putting the building inside the walls, but closer to the walls than my yard. Also, I need an array to protect the entire interior area, from the repository to the shipyard. I don't want anyone to snoop into my eyes, and I don't want anyone to sneak in. ”

Now that Abby has apparently entered his town system, Zach thinks he should let her work a little. In any case, he was not too angry with her. Her lies back then may have been partly to give herself an easy job opportunity, but thanks to those lies, he is alive today. Otherwise, he will concentrate on leaving this demon-infested island and trying to return home. He's going to die at sea.

Abby looks excited, and Zach seems to accept her and quickly nods her big eyes. After only a few seconds, a loud rumble can be heard, reminiscent of when the shipyard was created. The three of them looked at each other and walked towards the source of the sound without saying a word, all looking curious.
