Chapter 214 The War Alliance is about to build its headquarters!
Next, it's the turn of those nine million+ Dominator Power.
"Attributes are the only real thing; everything else is secondary." Without hesitation, Lin Tian unleashed his power, and the vast golden energy within him—the power of domination—burst forth like a flood, burning and consuming itself before pouring into the bottomless pit that represented "intelligence."
[Power of Domination -10... -50... -100...]
The power of domination burned incredibly fast, much more fiercely than before.
On the attribute panel, the number after Intelligence started jumping up like crazy:
650,000... 680,000... 700,000... The momentum showed no signs of slowing down, finally settling at—752,319!
Nearly ten million units of Dominator Power were poured in, but it barely made a sound, only resulting in a little over one hundred thousand Intelligence.
"Damn! The higher the attribute, the less durable this thing is!" Lin Tian couldn't help but complain. He realized that it would be increasingly difficult to stack the attributes to the sky with the power of the Dominator.
Either you need to find a more powerful "wild monster" to kill, or you need to find another way.
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling crowd outside.
The Scourge has ended, but it has acted like a sieve, making the strong and weak even clearer.
His journey is far from over. He'll save up upgrade points, ponder the purpose of that mysterious "divinity," and search for the next treasure trove where he can easily gain experience and master the power of domination...
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore." Lin Tian shook his head. "We need to make the most of this buff time and not be too lazy." Although he needs a lot of experience to level up now, he can never have too many upgrade points and Dominator Power.
With a flash, he vanished from the room. It was time to test his mettle in the wild and see just how powerful his 75 intelligence could be.
......
In the largest tavern in Luoxia City, the best private room was filled with smoke and bustling with noise. The air was thick with the aroma of ale and roasted meat, mixed with an irrepressible sense of excitement.
Zhang Tianya sat in the main seat on a large chair covered with a bearskin, his heavy plate armor polished so smooth it could be used as a mirror, reflecting a dim light in the flickering candlelight.
He wasn't wearing a helmet, revealing a weathered, stubble-covered face, his fierce eyes scanning the faces of everyone present.
The twenty or so people present were all core members of the War Alliance, his loyal brothers who had fought their way out of the newbie village and hadn't let him down even during the worst of the Scourge.
At this moment, although their armor was old, it was well-maintained, and their eyes were burning with a fire, a fire that wanted to do great things.
"Brothers!" Zhang Tianya slammed his hand on the table, making the liquor in his glasses slosh around. His booming voice instantly silenced all the conversation. "Wipe the grease off your mouths and listen up!"
The private room immediately fell silent, with only heavy breathing and the crackling of firewood in the fireplace remaining.
"We fucking made it through that hellhole of the Undead Scourge, that mountain of corpses and sea of blood!" Zhang Tianya's voice was slightly hoarse, but it also carried a sense of triumphant pride after surviving a catastrophe.
"We didn't disgrace Sunset City, and we certainly didn't disgrace our guild! Now, with this golden seven-day buff above our heads—double experience and stat boosts! If we don't do something about it, it would be a waste of all the levels we lost and the equipment we got!"
With a loud bang, he slammed a palm-sized token, neither gold nor wood, that shimmered with a mysterious, eerie light onto the table. The sound was heavy, as if it carried a thousand pounds of weight.
[Guild Creation Order]!
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the token, and their breathing quickened.
"This precious gem was already bestowed upon us by Boss Lin Tian!" Zhang Tianya pointed at the token, his tone filled with utmost respect and a hint of pride.
"We were held back by those skeletons and rotten flesh of the undead before, but now that the wind has stopped and the rain has stopped, our guild feels ready again! It's time to let this treasure see the light of day and do what it's meant to do! Our guild will raise the first player's banner on this newbie continent number 9527 and build the first nest that truly belongs to us!"
"Hooray!! Establish a club! Raise the flag!"
"Damn it, I've been waiting for this day for ages!"
"Follow the boss! Follow Boss Lin Tian!"
The crowd below was in high spirits, shouting with red faces and thick necks, pounding their chests or the tabletops, making loud thuds.
Creating your own guild and having your own base means you no longer have to worry about NPCs or fight other players for territory. This is a milestone that every player faction dreams of!
"Quiet! All of you, shut the fuck up!" Zhang Tianya gestured with his hands, a barely suppressed smile on his face. "What good is shouting?! This place... my men and I have practically run our legs off, but we've finally found you a prime location!"
He winked at a tall, thin man next to him who was wearing a priest's robe and looked quite shrewd.
The mage immediately stepped forward, lightly tapping the table with his staff. A virtual map, composed of magical energy and incredibly detailed, unfolded above the table.
On the light screen, the terrain of Luoxia City and its surroundings were clearly visible, with a striking red dot locked onto a valley about fifty miles to the east of the city.
"Right here! Crimson Flame Valley!" Zhang Tianya pointed at the red dot with his thick fingers, his voice booming.
The astute mage's assistant quickly took over the conversation, rapidly analyzing the situation for everyone:
"Brothers, listen up! The boss chose this place with great care! First, look at the terrain: three sides are steep cliffs, even monkeys couldn't climb them! This valley entrance on the east side is less than thirty meters wide. If we set up the chevaux-de-frise, fences, and arrow towers there, it'll be an impregnable fortress! The defensive attributes will be maxed out!"
He swiped his finger, zooming in on a section of the map to reveal details of the valley.
"Looking at the resources, a small Crimson Flame Mine has been discovered at the bottom of the valley. Although the reserves are not particularly large, the Fire Emblem Iron and Crimson Flame Crystals produced are in high demand for crafting low-level fire-type equipment and enchantments. It is enough for our guild to be self-sufficient in the early stages and have a surplus to sell for money!"
Furthermore, deep within the valley lies a small mana spring; sitting nearby increases mana regeneration by 20%! A boon for mages!
He paused, adjusted his non-existent glasses, and pointed out some shortcomings:
"Of course, nothing in this world is perfect. Fire element is active here, so the monsters that spawn are mostly fire-attribute creatures like fire scorpions, lava worms, and fire goblins. For us tough warriors and knights, the high resistance makes leveling up relatively easy, but it might be a bit difficult for cloth-wearing classes. However, overall, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages!"
