Chapter 23 Level 1 Graveyard, Territory Heroes
Construction on a first-class cemetery has begun!
[Time remaining: 35 minutes.]
Lin Mo paced anxiously as he watched the countdown.
Just half a day ago, he chose the location to build his territory, right next to the Temple of the Cursed.
This area has various basic resource points, making it a suitable place to build your first "territory".
The territory took more than five hours to build.
Lin Mo had also established a territory in his previous life, so he knew that upgrading a territory would take even longer.
There is a way to shorten the construction time; there are corresponding "accelerated construction scrolls," but they are currently unavailable, so we can only wait.
In front of him was a 'light screen' of over 500 square meters, where Lin Mo, Hammer, and the three Daniel brothers were also watching.
They were even more excited than Lin Mo.
"What exactly is territory?"
"I don't know, but it must be amazing!"
Compared to the three Daniel brothers, who knew nothing, Hammer knew much more.
After all, he is now one of Lin Mo's "protégés," and the second person besides Lin Mo who is allowed to lead troops.
"Will the territory hero have the same abilities as Genova?" Hammer wondered to himself. As it stands, Genova possesses unparalleled archery skills and a "military manual," the usefulness of which Hammer has witnessed firsthand.
The stacking and grouping of troops is extremely useful.
In addition, Jenova provides 350 units of gold coins every day.
Would you consider this a human-shaped money bag?
Time ticked by, and Lin Mo stared at the remaining construction time. Finally, the countdown reached zero.
The moment the countdown reached zero, the 500-square-meter light screen in front of me trembled violently, then shattered like glass, turning into countless golden specks of light that dissipated into the air.
After the light screen disappeared, a building appeared in front of Lin Mo.
First-class cemetery.
It occupies an area of about 500 square meters and is surrounded by a rough stone wall, less than two meters high, with several rusty iron spears stuck in it.
Inside the walls was a small castle, or rather, a large stone house, made of gray-black bricks with a pointed roof. A black flag with a skull embroidered on it fluttered above the roof.
The castle gate is arched, made of iron and wood, and has an ancient inscription on the lintel.
Lin Mo couldn't understand the words, but he could feel the power contained within them.
"This is... the territory?" Hammer stood to the side, his eyes wide with disbelief.
The three Daniel brothers were speechless, and Beverly almost dropped the silver AK in his hand.
Lin Mo did not answer.
He started walking towards the castle.
With each step he took, he could feel the ground beneath his feet trembling—not a real tremor, but a kind of unseen resonance.
This land was welcoming him, the buildings were calling to him, and the entire region was conveying a certain message to him.
He walked to the castle gate and pushed open the heavy ironwood door.
Behind the door is a small hall, about fifty square meters.
The ground was paved with gray stone slabs, and the walls were inlaid with glowing runes.
At the far end of the hall stood a stone throne, with a complex magic circle carved on the back of the throne.
In front of the throne floated a parchment, which was the land deed of the territory.
Lin Mo walked over and reached out to touch the land deed.
[A Class I cemetery has been detected as completed]
Should we conduct a lord promotion ceremony?
[Upon promotion, you will become a territory hero, gaining access to military manuals, strategic four-dimensional attributes, and unlocking the territory building function.]
[Warning: The promotion ceremony is irreversible and can only be performed once per player.]
Lin Mo took a deep breath.
In his previous life, he had seen many people become local heroes.
Some people didn't establish their territory until the third month after the apocalypse, while others didn't even get it for six months.
He had his own territory in the first week of the apocalypse.
The advantages of being reborn are fully demonstrated at this moment.
"Promotion!" He suppressed his excitement.
The parchment trembled and emitted a dazzling golden light.
Light surged from the land deed, spreading along Lin Mo's arm and throughout his body. He felt his body enveloped in a warm power, every cell rejoicing.
The light lasted for about ten seconds, then gradually faded away.
Lin Mo opened his eyes and felt that the whole world had changed.
He could see further, hear more clearly, and even distinguish different layers of smell in the air.
He clenched his fist and could clearly feel the increase in strength, not the false sense of expansion, but a real, tangible enhancement.
A stream of information flooded my mind:
Lord promotion complete
[Physical Enhancement: Twice that of the average person]
[Military Manual Acquired: Activated, 8 slots available]
[Strategic Four-Dimensional Activation]
Attack: 1 (base) +1
[Defense: 1 (Base) +3]
Strength: 1 (Basic)
[Knowledge: 1 (Basic)]
[Current Equipment Bonuses: Dragon Eye Ring (Attack +1, Defense +1), Magic Ring (Mana Regeneration +20%), Dwarf King's Shield (Defense of Controlled Creatures +2)]
Lin Mo's lips slowly curled up.
Twice the normal size.
He can now run faster than an Olympic champion and is stronger than a professional boxer.
With the added advantage of strategic four dimensions, his combat power is no less than that of any first-tier unit.
More importantly, it's a military treatise.
His own military treatise can be linked with the treasures he wears. The effects of the Dragon Eye Ring and the Dwarf King's Shield will be directly applied to all the creatures he controls through the military treatise.
He took a deep breath, turned and walked out of the castle.
Hammer and the three Daniel brothers were still standing outside. When they saw Lin Mo come out, everyone's expression changed.
"Bro, you...you seem to have gotten taller." Daniel rubbed his eyes.
The main change is in her temperament.
Lin Mo stood there, wearing an ordinary windbreaker and holding an ordinary AR-15, but he exuded an indescribable sense of oppression.
It was as if something had awakened within him.
Hammer looked at Lin Mo, his admiration deepening.
Just then, a deep rumble suddenly came from the sky.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
Three moons still hung in the sky, and a purple nebula slowly rotated. But in the center of the nebula, a golden vortex appeared. The vortex grew larger and brighter, like a giant eye slowly opening.
Lin Mo's pupils contracted.
In his previous life, he had never seen such a sight.
He became a territory hero in the fourth month after the cataclysm, when nothing had happened yet.
"What is this?" Hammer's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Mo did not answer.
His gaze was fixed on the golden vortex.
In the center of the vortex, a beam of light descended from the sky and landed precisely on him.
The pillar of light was golden, warm and soft, exactly the same as the light during ascension, but more intense and purer.
Lin Mo felt a massive surge of energy flow into his head, through his body, and finally into the military manual.
The military treatise vibrated and then opened automatically.
[You have been detected as the world's first Territory Hero]

[Rewards being distributed...]

[Acquire mount: Skeleton Warhorse (depending on territory attributes)]
After the beam of light dissipated, a horse appeared in front of Lin Mo.
As its name suggests, this is a warhorse made of bones.
Its skeleton was larger than that of an ordinary horse, with dark silver metallic patterns covering its grayish-white bones. Ghostly green flames burned in its eye sockets, and white, chilling air billowed from its nostrils. Its four hooves pounded the ground with a resounding thud.
Lin Mo reached out and touched its skull.
The skeletal warhorse lowered its head and nuzzled his hand.
[Skeleton Warhorse (Mount)]
[Effect: Controlled creature's attack +2, defense +2]
[Trait: Undead movement speed +20%]
Lin Mo couldn't suppress the urge to smile.
