After a while, Stella finished putting down her clothes as Neo looked at the map, trying to act unfazed.
With slow steps, Stella walked toward him and stood one step behind to the left, to calm down his little brother, he brainstormed his next plans.
He currently had 500 lord points, the amount an average Lord has at the start of the lord continent, as for the main way to earn more Lord Points.
Well, that's quite simple. Just exchange something from the exchange option. This is the only way one can earn Lord points.
Then there is the Monster Core, a hard currency for the lord and the main way for them to get stronger.
It can be considered as an Exp stone, which gives exp when the energy inside it is absorbed.
This is the advantage that those under the lord have that other creatures don't have. And for this reason, most monsters in this type of lord continent choose to be under a lord.
As for the other way to get stronger, well, that is to use cultivation techniques or absorb natural treasures.
The main realm that he knows is the Supernatural, Transcendent, Ascension, Mortal King, Earthen King, Heavenly King, Demi God, False God.
As for the level above those, he doesn't know as it was never taught in. In his impression, it seems to be called the Divine realm.
But that is a matter he will have to deal with at the end of his journey in this continent and not now.
Building: Lord Hut(Ordinary)
Upgrade: 100 Lord Points
Details: A simple hut and nothing else
Building: Wooden Fence(Ordinary)
Upgrade: 50 Lord Points
Details: Even wind may blow it away
These are the two buildings he possesses, except the Hall of Valkyries, something every lord descends with, but also something that no lord wants to keep.
So he upgraded it to the next level.
With his command, the hundred lords' points disappeared as a white glow surrounded the hut, visible to naked eyes, it started to grow, turning into a one-story wooden house.
Building: Lord House(Supernatural)
Upgrade: 1000 Lord Points, 10 Supernatural(low) Monster Core, Wood(50), Stone(50)
Effect: Restoration rate increased(50%)
Details: A house where a person can live and rest.
Seeing the effect given by the house, he couldn't help but be excited, after all, for each upgrade, an effect is selected at random.
So this can be considered a top-tier effect that one can gain at the first upgrade, it seems his increased luck is working.
Stella put on a confused face as she saw her lord getting excited, she should also be happy for her lord, but she feels like without knowing the reason, it will be disrespectful to be happy with her lord.
Neo, in a happy mood, was going to give her the reason when he saw her figure, dressed in the golden silver princess battle dress and holding the silver long sword, she looked simply breathtaking.
In embarrassment, he had opened his map to quickly so he hadn't seen her figure, thus this came as a surprise to him to the extreme.
He said in his thoughts he felt like that extra 200 Lords Points was completely worth seeing such a stunning scene.
She asked again, seeing his words stopping mid-way, this broke him out of his thoughts as his mind started to get chaotic again.
He still couldn't accept the fact that beauty can affect him so much, now he regrets a little making them so beautiful when creating them.
"Nothing, just some upgraded."
He spoke as he gave her the authority to look at all the details of the building. Greeting the authority and feeling her lord's trust toward herself, her heart bloomed with joy.
'Hooo, Focus Neo, Focus'
Repeating those words in his mind, he upgraded the wooden fence.
Building: Strengthened Fence(Supernatural)
Upgrade: 500 Lord Points, 5 Supernatural(low) Monster Core, Wood(20), Stone(15)
Effect: Durability Increased 30%
Details: A sturdy fence that can stop enemies from moving forward.
Looking at the effect, it could be considered a very good one but nothing crazy.
"Then finally your current stats."
Neo said as he looked at Stella, Stella, understanding her lord's command, showed him her status window.
Well, for her current loyalty he doesn't even need to ask to look at the status window but asking will help him brush up some favorability.
Physique: 0.5(5) Energy: 0.5(3) Vitality: 0.5(9)
This was her current stats, the equipment didn't increase it by a crazy amount, but it was still a solid amount for her.
Especially the increase in vitality, this increase can make sure that she doesn't die so easily. Now in terms of pure stats with just one equipment she has crushed him.
Though she doesn't have any skills with her race's battle IQ, she should be able to learn things in a fight.
"Follow me, let's hunt some monsters."
With that Neo took out a normal sword and did a few swings, Stella stood behind him and just watched his action.
They started to walk toward the outer area of the territory, that is the only place where one will find a monster.
After a while, they crossed the now reinforced fence and met their first group of monsters.
A skill possessed by all lords that allows them to see information of monsters or beings weaker than them.
Race: Corrupted Goblins
Rank: Supernatural(low)
Physique: 0.9 Energy: 0.2 Vitality: 0.7
Swift: Speed increased by 5%.
A group of goblins, unlike the traditional goblins, has been corrupted and turned into a kind of monster.
With dark green skin, a small stature, and the filthy stench that they are releasing, it is no wonder that they are called the most hated race.
It was a group of five monsters, completely crushing Stella in her basic stats without any blessing or armor.
"I will kill one you follow."
Even if the current Stella crushed them in the realm, to just be sure he will attack first and let her learn from him.
"My Dearest Master, your lowly servant has a request."
Behind him Stella's pleading words were heard as he stopped in his tracks, still focusing on the goblins he spoke.
"Can you let me handle this insignificant ant, I don't wish to dirty my dearest lord's hand."
Her voice, although pleading, contained infinite disgust for these lowly goblins that wished to be her master's enemy.
With his approval, her sword was unsheathed as it glowed with a silver light, her eyes became sharp as she took a step forward, walking toward the goblin.
As for what the goblins were doing when they were talking, well, they were drooling over the figure of Stella.
"You Lowly Beings, Only My Dearest Lord is allowed to look at me like that!!!"
She roared as in her newly born body, killing intent exploded, kicking the ground with all her force, she swung her blade.
It didn't have any technique or beauty to it, but a goblin's head flew in the sky, breaking the illusion of the other goblins.
The other goblins roared as it seemed to feel her body with even more disgust, just thinking about that, her lord will have to fight these lowly beings, filled her with even more extreme anger.
She swung her sword again, cleaving a goblin in half, dodging the other's attack, she stabbed one in the heart.
With a kick, she threw herself backwards, breaking the flow of attack of the two remaining goblins. Then rushing toward them when they were in an awkward position, she beheaded them.
Although she was a novice when it came to fighting, she seemed to have naturally learned during the fight.
So to Neo's surprise, this battle ended in a swift manner.
