Chapter 174: Chapter 173: Ascending Once More, Crown Upgrade
Time passes quickly.
In the blink of an eye, five days have gone by.
Just as Lin You was discussing district planning outside Yellow Sand City with Xue Changgui, a series of prompts suddenly rang in his mind.
[Congratulations, Blood Demoness’ experience has reached the maximum value, meeting the upgrade conditions for Tier Seven. Would you like to upgrade?]
[Congratulations, Twin Mushrooms…]
…
A full thirty-plus prompts instantly interrupted Lin You’s ongoing conversation.
The remaining thirty-plus reproduction species had finally accumulated enough experience over the days, meeting upgrade conditions, and began to shine brightly within the territory.
Lin You was overjoyed and immediately chose to upgrade them all.
Then, he handed over the matters to Xue Changgui and hurried back into the territory.
Sure enough.
The remaining reproduction species had completed their upgrades, all transforming into Tier Seven species.
Even the one and only Blood-sucking Dandelion had upgraded, with many horrifying red tumors growing on its roots and stems.
[Name: Blood Gu Dandelion]
[Race: Plant]
[Level: Tier Seven (0/2500)]
[Power: 650]
[Constitution: 778]
[Agility: 650]
[Spirit: 844]
[Skills: Infinite Reproduction, Parasitism, Tracking, Blood Gu (After dandelion seeds absorb sufficient flesh and blood, they will blossom into new dandelions once again, spreading around and starting a new cycle of reproduction, controlled by the main body.)]
[Introduction: A very rare plant, its seeds possess extremely strong parasitic destruction capabilities, do not inhale into your body.]
Tier Seven dandelions have greatly enhanced parasitic capabilities.
Not only can they parasitize once, but they can also undergo multiple parasitic processes in geometric multiples.
Then, like a plague, they continually spread outward, terrifying at the mere thought.
While Lin You was checking the dandelion information, a prompt voice followed in his mind.
[Congratulations, you’ve successfully reached Rank 1 on the Kingdom Ranking (Tier Six), earning territory honor: Peak Lord]
[Detected existing territory honor, proceeding with replacement…]
[Replacement successful.]
Accompanying the voice, the golden crown above Yellow Sand City gradually manifested glistening treasure pearls, emitting dazzling multi-colored light all around, attracting countless onlookers within the city.
Lin You noticed the crown’s effect had suddenly doubled from 50% to 100% faith acquisition speed!
The ranking changes also led to a clamor throughout the Kingdom and various Duchies.
“Look quickly! The Kingdom Ranking has changed, that Lin You has shot to the top!”
“Damn! What’s going on? I just saw him at fourth place!”
“Someone from a Duchy took Kingdom first place? How did he do it?”
“This is unbelievable!”
“Who exactly is this Lin You?”
“Could he be an illegitimate child of the King of the Great Wilderness?”
If Lin You’s prior fourth rank caused a minor disturbance.
Then his climb to the top of the Kingdom Ranking genuinely stunned everyone.
Being a Duchy Lord reaching the top of the Kingdom Ranking was absolutely unprecedented.
Not to mention those onlooking Lords, even the Tier Six prodigies within the Kingdom were all alarmed, rushing from the main cities.
Because having a Duchy inhabitant overtaking them was akin to a public slap on their faces.
“Find him! You must investigate this Lin You! I want to know everything about him!”
“Contact those over at the Great Wilderness, ask them to investigate Lin You for us!”
“You guys head over too!”
Voices of urgency echoed throughout the Kingdom’s territories, thoroughly upsetting the peace surrounding the Kingdom.
Lin You had once again become the focal point of all Lords’ attention.
…
Great Wilderness Kingdom’s Capital.
Ji Xinghe sat on the throne inside the palace, watching the constantly scrolling chat channel in front of him, with a gradually raising corner of his mouth.
Soon after, the palace door opened, Ji Yunshuang with a sword at her waist briskly walked in from outside.
“Father, I heard that Lin You reached first place on the Kingdom Ranking.”
The sound reached the palace even before she did.
“Yes, I just saw it too. This Lin You really surprised me.”
Ji Xinghe’s eyes gleamed with deep admiration.
Originally, he thought Lin You could at most reach fourth, considering further progression quite impossible.
Yet to his surprise, Lin You advanced further, directly claiming the top spot.
Bear in mind, he had only descended for two months!
This surprised Ji Xinghe the most.
Because even he took nearly half a year to achieve this when he first descended.
Enough to demonstrate Lin You’s outstanding talent, possibly becoming a Tier Ten King in the future.
Prompting him to entertain the notion of having Lin You as a son-in-law.
Coupled with the decent impression Lin You left previously, he might indeed be a promising candidate.
Considering this, Ji Xinghe narrowed his eyes, looking at Ji Yunshuang who just walked in, asking: “Yunshuang, what do you think of Lin You?”
“Him? He’s alright, just a bit annoying. Last time, he secretly snatched the resources we had our eyes on!” Ji Yunshuang gritted her teeth.
Though the Primordial Evil Realm incident made her change her view on Lin You, she still begrudged Lin You for snatching their resources, fueling her resentment.
Then realizing, she curiously asked: “Father, why suddenly ask me about him?”
“Nothing much, just casually asking.” Ji Xinghe smiled slightly, casually shutting the interface before him.
“But given that guy brought glory to our Great Wilderness Kingdom, as the king, I must send someone to congratulate him to avoid future gossip.”
Unknowingly, he had begun referring to Lin You as “that guy.”
Though Ji Yunshuang didn’t dwell on it, she further asked: “Who are you planning to send over, Dad?”
“Well, how about you handle this? As a princess, your presence will convey our sincerity.”
“Ah? You want me to go?”
“Why? Is it not possible?”
“It’s not that… just that guy…”
“Since there’s no problem, it’s settled then. I’ll send someone to accompany you.”
Ji Xinghe directly interrupted Ji Yunshuang’s words, not giving her further chance to speak.
Obligingly, Ji Yunshuang reluctantly agreed and started preparing under Ji Xinghe’s guidance.
…
Lin You didn’t know yet, but he had already captured others’ attention.
Initially, he was still checking the newly advanced plant attributes in his territory, when a giant light pillar suddenly descended outside Yellow Sand City, plunging from the sky to the ground.
Immediately after.
A group gradually emerged, appearing outside Yellow Sand City, alerting the surrounding citizens.
Soon after, an urgent shout rang out from outside the territory.
“Lord! It’s bad! The princess has arrived in our Yellow Sand City!”
