Chapter 6: Attributes of a God-Tier Territory

After allocating his attributes, Lin Mu began to examine his surroundings.

As the shimmering light faded, a simple and rustic courtyard rose from the ground, seemingly surrounded by countless tiny, floating inscriptions and runes.

Lin Mu was currently standing in the center of the courtyard, which was an empty space. It was very rudimentary; there were three rooms in front of him. The middle one was the main hall, where the God-rank Village Creation Token was placed, while the two rooms on either side were likely for resting or handling official business.

To the right of the courtyard were three more rooms, which served as the village's two warehouses and a kitchen. After establishing the village, the system would provide some basic farming tools, rice seeds, common vegetable seeds, and some tools for craftsmen.

To the left of the courtyard, a simple stable had been constructed, capable of holding a few horses.

Currently, there wasn't even a hair of a horse to be seen, so the stable was useless for the time being.

Lin Mu walked forward, eager to check the attributes of the village established by the God-rank Village Creation Token. Unable to contain his excitement, he strode quickly and pushed open the main door.

Upon entering, the first thing Lin Mu noticed was not the furnishings in the hall, but the two people inside.

Yes, two people. Lin Mu had originally expected only one, because in his past life, when he established a village, the system would automatically provide one NPC junior civil official to help the lord manage the territory. But now there were two—could this be an added benefit of the God-rank Village Creation Token?

Seeing Lin Mu, the two immediately stood up and bowed. "Welcome, my Lord! Congratulations on successfully establishing the village and providing us with a place to settle down."

"Haha, congratulations to us all. With the two of you assisting me in the future, the village will only get better and better." Lin Mu wasn't surprised; after all, the intelligence of NPCs was no different from that of ordinary people.

"Your subordinate, Chang Yin, courtesy name Yuanjian," the NPC standing on the left introduced himself.

"Your subordinate, Feng Zhong, courtesy name Fengjin," the NPC on the right introduced himself.

Chang Yin was a middle-aged scholar with a clean-shaven face, dressed in neat scholarly robes with a high cap and wide belt. He appeared steady, peaceful, and very refined.

Feng Zhong was also a middle-aged man, but he was burly and broad-shouldered, with a square face, a dignified expression, dark skin, and thick, muscular arms, clearly marking him as a fierce warrior.

Hearing them, Lin Mu introduced himself as well. "My name is Lin Mu. I do not have a courtesy name yet."

A courtesy name was a very important setting in *Mythical Three Kingdoms*. Having one meant that a person had unlocked their talent, and courtesy names were unique.

The fact that Lin Mu had no courtesy name meant his talent had not yet been unlocked.

"Your subordinates greet you, my Lord! May you be well!" the two said in unison.

Lin Mu didn't engage in small talk; he was too impatient to check the territory's attributes.

"You may accompany me to the back hall to check the territory's attributes," Lin Mu invited.

"Thank you for the invitation, my Lord." Feng Zhong and Chang Yin did not refuse and followed Lin Mu into the back hall.

The back hall was the most important place in the territory. Once upgraded to a city, it would become the City Heart; for now, it was the center of the village.

The back hall was currently empty, save for a glowing token floating in mid-air.

Golden, dragon-shaped energy swirled around it, and the surface of the token was covered in countless mysterious inscriptions. Lin Mu didn't know their meaning, nor did he delve into them.

When Chang Yin and Feng Zhong saw the token, expressions of longing appeared on their faces, and they bowed slightly, as if showing great respect. Lin Mu did not notice the expressions of the two men behind him.

Now, Lin Mu could view the token's attributes

It was different from what Lin Mu had imagined, but even better than he had expected. God-rank is truly God-rank.

Lin Mu's expectations were greatly satisfied. He hadn't expected it to be this powerful. What were Heaven-rank or Earth-rank compared to this? With this foundation, the future was a smooth path. Lin Mu suddenly felt very high-class, as if he had successfully shown off without even trying. No, he had to be low-key. Be low-key! Enter the village quietly, and don't fire any shots!

Village Creation Tokens are divided from high to low into God-rank, Heaven-rank, Earth-rank, Profound-rank, and Yellow-rank.

After establishing a village with a Yellow-rank token, players are offered four territory attributes to choose from, but the attributes are usually not very good, rarely yielding top-tier ones, and only one attribute can be chosen.

After establishing a village with a Profound-rank token, players are offered five territory attributes to choose from. The attributes are much better than those of the Yellow-rank, but there are no rare attributes, and two can be chosen.

Earth-rank tokens are considered high-tier. After establishing a village, players are offered six territory attributes to choose from, and there is a high probability of rare attributes appearing, such as the one Lin Mu knew of: "Increase overall territory production efficiency by 30%," or "Add territory specialty: Profound Mechanism Crossbow Cart." The one Lin Mu envied most was the "Profound Mechanism Crossbow Cart" specialty; the fact that it had a specialty production attribute caused a huge sensation at the time. The player who used that Earth-rank token was eventually forced to sell the territory, but the wealth he gained ensured he would never have to worry about money for the rest of his life.

Lin Mu didn't know what happened to that player, but the village became very famous, and many player factions came there to buy expensive Profound Mechanism Crossbow Carts to strengthen their armies.

Three territory attributes can be chosen from an Earth-rank token.

As for the last type, the Heaven-rank, Lin Mu had never seen its specific attributes because these tokens were monopolized by large factions. No specific information was leaked by players, and Lin Mu only knew a tiny bit from some casual comments on the War Network forums, though it was clearly very powerful.

Lin Mu didn't know the full extent of the Heaven-rank token's power, but he knew his God-rank attributes, and he doubted they could be much better than his own.

Lin Mu's God-rank Village Creation Token didn't offer a choice of territory attributes; they were all fixed. As for the "Junior Spirit Land," Lin Mu knew the mystery behind it. He hadn't possessed one in his past life, but it should be similar to the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands. Lin Mu was looking forward to the effects of this attribute.

【Humanity's Blessing】—this attribute was truly overpowered. Lin Mu felt it was the best one, most helpful for the development of the territory, because it increased the aptitude of the territory's residents by one tier, which meant their potential was increased by a whole tier. That was terrifying to think about.

As for the other two attributes, it went without saying that their effects would allow the territory to develop at lightning speed, and they would ensure that Lin Mu's territory would have no worries regarding resources, soldier training, general breakthroughs, or grain.
