Chapter 176 - 176 Talent

176 Talent – Eye of Time! Soldier Advancement!

Zhou Zhou looked at his skill list.

“Talent – Eye of Time? What talent is this?”

Zhou Zhou opened the specific information of this talent curiously.

[Talent – Eye of Time: Creatures with this talent have a special ability given to them by the River of Time. There is a certain chance of seeing some traces of time left on ancient things when observing them.]

“My good Lord…”

“This can no longer be called Talent.”

“This must be a superpower, right?!”

Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue.

He had many talented subjects under his command.

For example, Wu Tu’s photographic memories, Carter Kim’s metal affinity…

These innate abilities were at least within the range of common sense that normal people could understand.

However, just looking at the contents of Gu Bo’s talent was unbelievable.

He felt that his talent was at least a few levels higher than the others.

In the end, Zhou Zhou could only sigh. The world was so big that there were all kinds of strange things.

Then, he looked at the other skills.

In the end, he unexpectedly saw the skill [White Platinum-Tier Elementary Grade Sand Emperor Language].

“Dr. Gu, what’s the relationship between the Sand Emperor and the Emperor of Sand?”

Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment before immediately asking.

Gu Bo was stunned. Then, he explained, “The Sand Emperor Language is the official language of the Sand Empire. The Emperor of Sand was the only emperor of the Sand Empire.”

“Can you tell me about the Sand Empire and the Emperor of Sand later?”

Zhou Zhou said in surprise.

He had finally found someone who knew about the Emperor of Sand!

“My Lord, you don’t have to be so polite.”

“Of course you can.”

“It’s my honor to serve my Lord.” Gu Bo smiled.

Zhou Zhou acknowledged.

Then, he called Zheng Yuanqi over and asked him to arrange where these people would go. After which, he walked to the side with Gu Bo and began to listen to him.

“The Emperor of Sand existed more than 8,000 years ago.”

“In that era, it led the Sandman Tribe and rose from the weak within a very short period of time. In less than 800 years, it developed into a famous empire on the High Continent.”

“Unfortunately, it only existed for a very short period of time. In less than 300 years, the Sand Empire was destroyed because it seemed like it had angered the gods.”

“Otherwise, perhaps the land under our feet will still be the territory of the Sand Empire.”

“After the fall of the Sand Empire, our land experienced four more kingdoms.”

“The last kingdom is the Aurora Kingdom, which is now bordering the Lord’s territory.”

Zhou Zhou was deep in thought.

According to what he understood from the Emperor of Sand’s spatial ring,

The Emperor of Sand fell with its empire because he wanted to replace the sun.

It was in line with what Dr. Gu had said from the looks of it.

He suddenly felt tempted.

Did that mean that the inheritance of the Emperor of Sand that he had always wanted was actually the inheritance of an empire’s monarch?

Moreover, he already had some clues?

“I must continue searching for this inheritance of the Emperor of Sand.”

Zhou Zhou immediately thought with excitement.

This was the inheritance of the emperor of an empire!

It was not inferior to a Legendary-Tier Lord Talent!

He naturally would not let it go so easily!

After that, he called all the soldiers and spent more than half an hour cleaning up the Time Ruins and the monster ranch.

Then, he took out the Yellow Gold-Tier Advance Grade Conqueror Blast Furnace he had obtained yesterday and placed a Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Core on the energy slot. Finally, he used the energy in his body to activate this alchemy technology product.

Then, the soldiers began to transport the corpses to the Conqueror’s Blast Furnace and retrieve the loot.

Half an hour later.

All the loots had been extracted.

Under the effect of the Perfect Loots:

Other than the +1 Quality monster flesh, skill books, potion formulas, poison sacs, Black Scorpion Poison Crossbow, Flame Demon Fog Wolf Set, and other items,

He obtained a total of 41,251 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores, 14,275 White Silver-Tier Mist Cores, and 1,614 Yellow Gold-Tier Mist Cores!

6,388 Class Change Certificates! 2,145 Sand Corpse Summoner Class Change Certificates!

1,128 Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books!

1,002 Pudao Soldiers Recruitment books!

958 Poison Crossbow Soldier Recruitment Books!

384 Elemental Archer Recruitment Books!

5,021kg of Light Drawing Crystal!

Zhou Zhou asked Aliya to call Zhao Changshou over and handed the Light Drawing Crystal to Zhao Changshou and the others.

“Elder Zhao.”

“Starting today.”

“The city wall of Blazing Sun City has to be expanded every time the territory upgrades!”

“We’re fighting the foreign race lords every day now.”

“The city walls are the most important part of the city’s defense.”

“It must be strengthened in time!”

Zhou Zhou said.

He had yet to encounter a foreign race lord who could attack his city wall, but there was no harm in making early preparations.

“Yes! From today onwards, I will recruit people and begin to expand the city wall!”

“However, my Lord.”

“Recently, we have been a little lacking in the basic materials in the city.”

“We need to replenish.”

Zhao Changshou said respectfully.

“Leave it to me.”

Zhou Zhou acknowledged.

He had indeed not bought basic materials in the exchange for a long time.

During this period of time, the basic materials used were all from the previous stock, be it for building buildings or other matters in his territory.

It was indeed time to buy another batch of basic materials.

Actually, he could also send people to buy basic materials in reality instead of buying them in the exchange.

However, the price of basic materials in reality was higher than the exchange.

Secondly, it was inconvenient to buy them. Moreover, they had to transport them back and forth and waste time.

Therefore, Zhou Zhou had never thought of doing so.

After that, he opened the exchange and looked at the price of the basic materials.

He realized that one Black Iron-Tier Mist Core could be exchanged for 50 units of basic materials.

“The price is acceptable.”

“Then I’ll buy more at once.”

Zhou Zhou thought for a moment.

The basic materials needed to build the city wall were quite large.

If he brought more, he would not need to buy it again in a short period of time.

Then, he began to set up a deal.

[Trade Name: Deal with the Blazing Sun Lord]

[Trade Goods: Eight million Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores]

[Trade Requirement: Trade one Black Iron-Tier Mist Core for every 50 units of basic materials.]

The setup was completed and he published the transaction.

Then, he set up a new transaction. He threw in all the soldier class change certificates he had just obtained, as well as excess materials, skill books, equipment, and other items. Then, he directly announced the transaction.

A moment later.

The purchase of materials was completed first.

Zhou Zhou looked at the transaction results.

[Trade Results: 100 million units of stone, 100 million units of wood, 100 million units of metal, 100 million units of fine sand]

Zhou Zhou nodded.

Then, he brought Zhao Changshou to an empty space and took out all 400 million units of basic materials and piled them into four small mountains of basic materials that were more than 20 meters tall.

“These basic materials should be enough for the time being, right?”

Zhou Zhou smiled.

“It’s indeed enough.”

Zhao Changshou clicked his tongue as he looked at the four small mountains.

He had seen the same scene before when he was in the Aurora Kingdom.

However, he had not seen many scenes like the Lord’s where he could wave his hand and create four small mountains of basic materials.

At this moment, Bai Yun walked over after counting the number of soldiers who had advanced.

“I’ve something to report, my Lord!”

“A total of 5,132 people advanced just now!”

“3,125 of them have been promoted to Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade and Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade!”

“1,941 people advanced from Black Iron-Tier to Green Bronze-Tier!”

“Another 72 people have advanced to the White Silver-Tier Elementary Grade!”

“There are a total of 12,122 Black Iron-Tier soldiers in our army!”

“2,583 Green Bronze-Tier soldiers!”

“98 White Silver-Tier!”

“In addition, I’ve already broken through to the White Silver-Tier Advance Grade!”

“Maris has also broken through to Green Bronze-Tier Advance Grade!” Bai Yun said respectfully.

Zhou Zhou could not help but click his tongue.
