Chapter 296: Chapter 294: The King Awakens
After reaching Tier Eight, excluding other bonuses, 500 species can be recruited.
Lin You calculated.
If half of them are used to create Symbiotic Moss, then there’s still a shortfall of about 120, which ans a gap of more than 40 million in Magic Energy.
Factoring in the cost to recruit the Mutated Species, a conservative estimate is sixty to seventy million, and he only has twenty million right now.
The shortfall is exceptionally large.
If he sold the Vampire Ancestor Species, he could scrape together another ten to twenty million.
The reason for such a decision is because Lin You knows very well.
With his current strength, he can’t gain much on the Tier Seven battlefield.
After all, those old Lords have around eighty or a hundred Tier Eights around them.
One or two he could handle, but a large number makes them hard to deal with, greatly increasing the difficulty of snatching Treasures.
But Tier Eight is different.
Because the Territory Essence needed to upgrade species increases, those Tier Eight Lords can’t upgrade too many Tier Nine Species, so they primarily have Tier Eight Species around them.
And his Deceitful Symbiotic Moss precisely doubles species Attributes, imdiately highlighting his advantage.
Even if those Tier Eight Lords have similar thods to enhance Attributes, they could never achieve such an exaggerated doubling effect.
This is the source of Lin You’s confidence.
In other words.
He now has the capital to upgrade to Tier Eight!
"Next, we just need Magic Energy and Essence."
Lin You looked at the resource interface; there are still 18 pieces of Tier Seven Essence.
Because ti is tight, he estimates he can only research Silver-Edged Grass for Mutation at that ti.
He can’t attend to other species for now.
So he still needs more Territory Essence to upgrade a Demon King Dragon and a Demon Consort Dragon for travel and reconnaissance species.
Moreover, their Combined Skills are strong, so they should be kept.
Also, he had just replicated new Skills for the eight Devouring Flowers.
Though unfortunate, he wasn’t sure how many could be upgraded; he could only try to upgrade them all to Tier Eight.
After calculating, the Territory Essence he needs is substantial.
"Well, let’s keep working hard..."
After closing all interfaces, Lin You went to the open ground to check the condition of species in his Territory.
This trip to the cathedral was fraught with danger, causing him to lose quite a few species.
He ticulously counted.
This ti he lost a total of six species bodies and Symbiotic Moss, all of which fell to large-range Skills of Lord Demons, and they were newly recruited, having the lowest experience and weakest Attributes.
According to Lin You’s observation over this period.
Species with full experience are divided into several tiers in terms of highest Attributes.
Royal Family: 2500
Rare: 2250
Ordinary: 2000
The various Attributes also fluctuate based on the characteristics of different species types.
For example, Cyan Rattan, though part of the Royal Family, has a large body and moves slowly, so its Agility Attribute is quite below this standard.
Another example is Lingxi having strong Skill attacks, but with a small body, its Power is relatively weak.
The sa principle applies to Demons.
Of course, particularly special cases are exceptions.
The six lost species had low experience and low Attributes, so they couldn’t withstand the Skills of Lord Demons.
It was only due to Lin You’s tily reaction, discovering the restraining effect of Fierce Sunflower, that the loss wasn’t even greater.
After counting species and spending more than two million Magic Energy to replenish them, the sky was completely dark.
However.
Sothing unexpected for Lin You happened.
As he arrived upon the tree house, preparing for rest, a private ssage suddenly popped up.
"Ji Yunshuang (Luoxia City): Lin You, my father has awakened."
Hmm?
The King is awake?
Lin You imdiately sat up from the bed and quickly sent a ssage.
"Your father woke up? When?"
"Just this afternoon, right after finishing everything, so I’m only now sending you a ssage, I hope I didn’t disturb your rest?"
Ji Yunshuang’s words carried fatigue.
If it were before, she would probably have been jumping for joy and babbling excitedly over ssages.
Yet, it is understandable.
It has been over a month since the King fell into a coma; it would be difficult for anyone to endure that.
After pondering for a mont, Lin You sent a ssage: "No disturbance, it’s good that he woke up, rember to get so good rest, you can talk to
about anything."
"Hmm."
Ji Yunshuang’s response was very succinct, emptily hanging on the chat interface, she truly seed exhausted.
After a while, a long ssage suddenly popped out.
"I’ve been thinking for a long ti, I used to rely on my father too much, not only failing to help him but also causing him to end up like this, so I’ve decided to go out alone to cultivate for a while, I want to beco strong enough to stand on my own!"
At this mont.
Ji Yunshuang’s aura seed to change.
Even across a chat interface, Lin You could feel her determination and resolve.
It seems Ji Xinghe’s injury and coma greatly affected her.
Yet, since it’s her decision, Lin You will naturally support her, promptly sending a ssage: "That’s a good thing, but pay attention to safety when out alone, you can always reach out to
if you need help."
"Okay, I will. I’ll go rest now."
"Hmm, let’s chat another day."
The ssage stopped here.
Lin You looked at the chat interface silently, his heart feeling a bit complicated.
This world is like this; events constantly exceed your expectations.
Even a princess like Ji Yunshuang, with a once proud and lively nature, changed in a short ti, becoming much more mature and composed.
This reminded Lin You of the joke they had in the cave before.
One day.
He would beco an emperor.
And she would beco a powerful empress atop the continent.
Perhaps the next ti they et, they will be a step closer to that goal.
With a slight smile, he closed the interface and lay back on the bed.
...
The news of the King’s awakening spread early the next morning.
Lin You had just woken up and saw that the Lords were discussing the matter on the chat channel.
There was excitent, enthusiasm, and relief.
After all, the life and death of the King concerns the fate of the entire Duchy.
They didn’t want the Great Wilderness Kingdom to fall into chaos like the Celestial Fla Duchy and the Moonlight Duchy did before.
Fortunately, none of that happened, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
The chat atmosphere beca cheerful, with people starting to chat about recent experiences and encounters.
"Yesterday, when I was buying equipnt at the Holy Sanctuary, I heard that the Dwarf Kingdom seems to have a new king."
"Wasn’t it said there was chaos there before? How did a king suddenly appear?"
"That King should be Tier Eleven, right? I’d love to see what he looks like."
"You? Spare us! How could a lofty King be soone you could et?"
"You want to see him, I want to see him too. If the Dwarf King was in a good mood and crafted
a Tier Ten piece of equipnt, I’d be rich."
"Dream on, if you’re delusional, soone should wake him up."
The chat channel was filled with joy, but Lin You was confused.
A new King for the Dwarf Kingdom?
Could it be Mageon?
If he counted the ti, it had been quite a while since Mageon went to the Dwarf Kingdom.
Not knowing the situation there, he had to go and take a look.
With that thought, he got up.
After a quick wash and so food, he went straight into the Secret Realm Gate to the Holy Sanctuary, then strolled around the Floating Islands, probing for news.
Unbeknownst to him.
A major event was unfolding in the Holy Sanctuary’s city district.
"Shopkeeper! There’s trouble! You must co out and see!"
A loud shout suddenly rang out in the Shifang Pavilion.
A shop assistant hurriedly ran in from outside.
Lu Zhenxing, who was inside the hall discussing matters with the Lu Family’s ancestor, was interrupted by the call and angrily ca outside.
"What’s the matter that you’re shouting about? Keep it down!"
"It’s, it’s dwarves, the new King of the Dwarf Race appeared in the Holy Sanctuary’s Dwarf Race base!"
The assistant, hands on his knees, panted as he spoke.
Lu Zhenxing, who was originally angry, suddenly perked up on hearing this.
"Are you sure about this!?"
A voice full of authority rang out.
The Lu Family’s ancestor, resting in the inner hall, also appeared in the main hall, eyes fixed on the assistant.
"Yes... Absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes, many great figures from different forces are rushin’ over."
Seeing the Lu Family’s ancestor, the assistant almost collapsed, barely able to speak coherently.
But the Lu Family’s ancestor gave him no chance to react, quickly saying, "Good, Zhenxing, co with , let’s pay a visit to the Dwarf Race’s new King."
"Alright!"
With the words spoken, the two left the shop under the amazed gaze of others, heading towards the Dwarf Race’s base.
In the Holy Sanctuary, the Dwarf Race had set up their own kingdom base, specifically for selling equipnt and items, not far from the Holy Sanctuary Center.
And at this mont.
A large crowd gathered outside the Dwarf Race’s base.
The presence of terrifying figures from all directions converged, coming to pay respects to the Dwarf Kingdom’s new King.
The streets around them were crowded with onlookers, exclamations abound.
Because they noticed that those rarely-seen Tier Ten powerhouses were frequently appearing.
So exuded an aura close to Tier Eleven, making the air around them restless.
Yet even such strong figures.
Were surrounding a Dwarven group at this ti, with respectful faces.
If Lin You were here, he would surely recognize, at a glance, that the Dwarf in the center was none other than Mageon!
Although at this mont, Mageon looked sowhat different from before he left.
He not only wore dark gold armor but also donned a golden crown that symbolized royal power.
Even the Dwarf Race’s Sacred Artifact, the War God’s Hamr, was on his back, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.
Comparable to those Tier Ten powerhouses!
Not to ntion the Dwarf beside him, carrying the Dark Spear, whose aura was terrifyingly, reaching Tier Eleven.
This person was Leiken Dark Spear, the Clan Leader of the Dark Spear Tribe.
The current highest combat power of the Dwarf Kingdom.
"How can it be him!?"
Lu Zhenxing, who had just arrived, looked at Mageon, protected in the center, with eyes wide open in shock.
"What’s wrong?" The Lu Family ancestor asked, puzzled, turning around.
"Ancestor, I’ve seen the new King of the Dwarf Race before!"
Lu Zhenxing couldn’t help but gulp, shocked to the extre.
The Dwarf he’d seen beside Lin You before was actually the King of the Dwarf Kingdom?
Even after decades of ups and downs, he was still so stunned by this shocking fact that he could hardly speak.
If he rembered correctly.
Lin You had previously ntioned that the Dwarf was his friend.
Which ans.
The King of the Dwarf Race was actually friends with Lin You!?
