Infinite Evolution of My Territory

At this stage, food was scarce for everyone, and there were many soldiers in need of sustenance.

The Fog Zone beyond the borders of our territory was fraught with peril.

Sending soldiers to explore raised concerns about their safety; encountering grave dangers could cost them their lives.

Should they fall, would we be able to withstand the Trial on our own?

Hence, the crops we cultivated became our primary food source.

Growing food within the territory took less time, but it still required half a month.

That half-month period served as an implicit assessment. Those who couldn't endure would prematurely conclude their trial and head back to the Whispering Land.

The emergence of the Spirit Spring, however, could accelerate the growth of our crops, eliminating the need to hold out for half a month.

A mere week of perseverance was now sufficient.

This convenience contributed to the Spirit Spring's widespread acclaim.

Yet, within the Spiritual Field of Qiang Nantie's domain, crops matured at an even more rapid pace, completing their growth cycle in just a few days.

Qiang Nantie harbored no concerns about being outpaced. In his realm, not a single building fell below Grade S quality.

Each structure within his territory was unparalleled by current standards.

For a newcomer at this phase, possessing a Grade S building was a stroke of immense fortune.

But Qiang Nantie's buildings were all Level S. With such an array of advanced constructions, what was there to fret over?

Thus, Qiang Nantie never fretted about the prospect of being overtaken. His Rainbow Lord Space had the ability to transform the most ordinary buildings into structures of no less than Level S quality.

He hesitated to promise that his Heroes and Soldiers would all be Level S, but he was confident in their exceptional quality.

Food was no longer a concern for him; daily watering of the crops was all that was required.

Later, Qiang Nantie and Huamo made their way to the mysterious store.

The store refreshed its inventory daily and even offered an additional opportunity to update its stock.

He had the option to refresh the items yesterday, but their steep prices were beyond his reach.

Now, with over three million spirit coins to his name, financial worries were a thing of the past for Qiang Nantie's mother.

Stepping into the mysterious store, Qiang Nantie's gaze settled on the five items displayed on the counter.

The first item: Ice Armor.

Quality: Bronze.

Durability: 30/30.

Attribute 1: Defense +10.

Attribute 2: Ice and Frost (Active ability to release a burst of cold air, freezing the enemy. Freeze duration varies with the enemy's power level. Usable once every six hours.)

Equipment Requirement: 6 Strength.

Description: Crafted from coarse ice ore.

Price: 5,000 spirit coins.

"This is a piece of Bronze-grade equipment, and it's quite affordable," Qiang Nantie remarked before making the purchase.

A notification from the territory chimed in, "You have spent 5,000 spirit coins to acquire the Ice Armor."
