The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 214 - 127 Territory Promotion

"Time was just right, seemed like my calculations weren’t wrong after all~"

Returning to the territory, Bai Yi saw a ray of sunlight just shining in from the east of the tree hole.

She had completed all her research over the two days in the instance but waited an extra half day, experimenting with some wrong ideas before coming back, just to make better use of her time.

If she returned after the standard two days, it would be early morning now, and the sky wouldn’t even have brightened yet.

Although she could directly wake the sleeping witches to work, she felt that sleep was also a part of being human, and only proper rest could make a witch more in line with human requirements.

If she could avoid disturbing the witches’ rest, it was better not to disturb them.

Of course, the premise was that the work was done.

The earth witch openly protested.jpg

Before entering the instance, she had already made arrangements ahead of time, asking Eternal Life City to prepare the necessary amount of houses.

Thanks to the city buildings’ witches and engineering ants’ efforts during these days, all the Giant Tree Cities were ready, only needing some basic furniture to be put to use.

After yesterday’s overnight rush work, they were completely ready to be used.

She summoned an Erosion Worm to take away two cards sealed with witches and then began to issue notifications on the network, telling them to prepare for the territory upgrade.

Even Bai Sheng had been informed in advance to remain silent and halt the progress.

Because, according to the orange cat, advancing to Tier Five might bring some unique mutations, and might even result in sleep. She had to be prepared for the worst.

Possibly, after the territory upgrade, not only might she fall asleep, but even all her subordinates who hadn’t reached Tier Five might also fall asleep. If they were in battle or other special circumstances, it might cause certain losses.

So she would hold off on the upgrade until the investment permissions ended today. Conditions were already complete, and Bai Yi felt confident, not rushing the matter by one or two hours.

At least she would use today’s few instance investment opportunities first.

Taking advantage of the morning’s time, Bai Yi brought out all the crop seeds cultivated this time and notified the witches working with Furistin in the swarm network.

The current batch of crops, except for a very few that couldn’t be gigantified, had all become giant crops like a giant tree.

She had even tried, and they could be judged by the giant tree city blueprints, as a foundation to build a new witch giant tree city.

Perhaps she might seize this opportunity to build a new satellite city around the territory, specializing in food production.

"Seems like it really is a good idea...

The new city positioned right where the farmlands were was just right, not too far away, there were already a few giant trees as a temporary residence there, now it’s just a matter of expanding a bit.

But what should the name be...

Since Rice Tree is the main crop, why not call it Rice Forest City?

No, it’s much smaller than Eternal Life City, so let’s call it Rice Forest Town?

As the production center of Eternal Life City and even the territory, this name seems fitting, so that’s the decision!"

Bai Yi slapped her head and settled the idea, arranging it in the swarm network.

There was still plenty of free time this morning, and the excitement from the imminent upgrade made even research lose its appeal.

If looking at battle reports was too early, it was the perfect time to take advantage of this opportunity, before the upgrade, to revisit various reports within the territory that had been neglected due to her busyness, so she could quickly make arrangements after the upgrade.

The territory was already in a stable development phase, and the main tasks were building projects that required time.

Most of the facilities in Eternal Life City had been completed according to a regular human city. Next, it only needed to be slowly adjusted according to the witches’ living habits.

For example, witch reproduction and child education which hadn’t been touched yet, as well as various post-initiatives were still in a blank phase.

Although Bai Yi accelerated the process of civilization development by pulling resources from various places, necessary steps could only be taken by the witches themselves.

Now, under Shang Ji’s intervention, the witches had begun preliminary currency transactions, gaining work and certain private assets.

However, currency circulation channels were still extremely limited, with only official workshops selling goods, but this situation was starting to change.

According to Shang Ji’s report description from yesterday, a witch had already submitted an application to her, wanting to open a tavern.

—It was said that the witch who initiated the application had worked in Zhuchen’s restaurant before becoming a witch, and upon discovering Bai Yi seemed to be promoting their business, volunteered to be the first witch to take the plunge.

Her application, along with the loan opportunity, had already been approved, and the tavern’s location was set.

Bai Yi glanced over quickly to find that shop, located near the residential area, under renovation, determined to sneak a peek once it opened.

Like it, there weren’t many buildings still under construction within Eternal Life City, the largest one being the Flourishing Church located at the city’s core and not far from the Eternal Life City Library.

The latter, after this period of construction, had already completed its foundation, with the main building beginning to be erected. According to the timetable drawn by the witches, it should be completed before this cycle challenge ends.

The former, in contrast, had just started construction not long ago. Despite no shortages in building materials, progress was slow due to lacking the time acceleration within the instance. The witches from the Magic Research Institute were still carving the foundation’s array.

This was also the current research topic of the Research Institute’s witches, attempting to derive rune knowledge from these arrays.

As for the several colleagues she had, they all had their own tasks.

Outside Eternal Life City, two Fungus Blanket buildings, Blood Flesh Worm Nest and Biological Nest, were almost completed; the former’s progress had reached 98%, and the latter had 86%, expected to be done within these two days.

The remaining reports were mostly made up of Bai Sheng’s expansion records and various intelligence regarding business opportunities, which Bai Yi meticulously reviewed two hours later.

Just as Bai Yi was about to open today’s battle report, she suddenly had an inexplicable feeling. Without any reminder from others, Bai Yi already felt the change on the panel.

[Promotion Requirement: Lord Rank reached lv.50 (50/50), possess 200 square kilometers of territory in this world (671/200), have 100,000 Admirers or Fearful in this world (102,000/100,000)]

"Looks like those witches have been arranged properly. Now all that’s left is to remind the witches within the instance."

Bai Yi, holding a bit of anticipation, sat by the table in the tree hollow, preparing the investments and reminders needed for the instance.

Even the battle report today didn’t interest Bai Yi much. After a simple glance to ensure nothing out of the ordinary, the time drew near.

Bai Yi caught the timing to enter the reminder into the panel, confirmed the witches within the instance had received it in the battle report, and eagerly pressed the panel, heading toward the upgrade button.

[Lord Rank breakthrough complete, level cap increased to lv.60, All Attributes +20, Basic Magic Power recovery speed increased to 1 point every 10 seconds, gain +4 All Attributes per level up, +4 Specialized Attribute, +10 free attribute points, +1 skill point]

[Warning: You have acquired partial lordship privileges. From this rank onwards, experience points can no longer directly enhance lord rank]

[Territory Upgrade complete, building rank cap increased to Tier Five, cross-regional communication unlocked, special dungeon library unlocked, Basic Building Self-selection*1 obtained]

[Warning: From this rank onwards, soldier upgrades can no longer be enhanced through experience points]

[Due to the lord acquiring 102,000/100,000 Admirers in the upgrade task, you obtained extra rewards: World Conquest Certificate*3, Tier Five Promotion Privilege*1, Basic Resource Self-selected Package (Tier Five)*102,000, Advanced Basic Resource Self-selected Package (Fourth Rank)*10,270]

[Note: Tier Five Promotion Privilege*1 has been activated, this upgrade will not cause the lord to enter Silence, you acquired additional body privileges, you have gained 80% body privileges]

With the final panel prompt completed, Bai Yi felt the changes in her body and territory.

Perhaps due to the acquired and subsequently utilized Tier Five Promotion Privilege, this upgrade did not cause the intense pain when Tier Four attributes were enhanced, but rather became extremely gentle like her own gene fusion.

The subsequent granted privileges made Bai Yi feel her perception of her body became extremely clear; every bit of magic’s flow and each breath of the body with magic were distinctly recognized.

However, the body changes were not the focus this time. After confirming her own upgrade was completed, she began to look at other benefits brought by this promotion.

"Basic Building, huh...

Although its function was of little significance, the last basic building was finally collected this time, which was still quite good.

Perhaps it was time to allocate some witches and let them use their brains, experimenting with these basic buildings, possibly creating some novel structures.

Also, the building’s research feature had always been underutilized, and they could be made responsible for it together.

Anyway, the consumption of resources was not much, even if these buildings were upgraded to include one new technology, even just a new array, that would be lucrative."

Along with this basic building, two newly unlocked features were included.

"Inter-world communication?

Indeed, past Tier Five, it’s finally time to start engaging with other regions..."
