Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 183 - 112: Holy Empire Shurima 2

He never treated them like slaves, forcing them to mine and labor day and night. Instead, he strictly implemented an eight-hour workday, just like in his previous life.

Furthermore, if any of them were exceptionally efficient and completed their assigned tasks ahead of schedule, Qin Feng would never exploit their surplus value like the capitalists from his previous life, pushing them to take on more work. He certainly wouldn’t force them to stay for their full shift. Instead, he allowed them to use their remaining time as they pleased and enjoy the beautiful things life had to offer.

If conflicts arose among the Native Creatures, Qin Feng could rely on his Ashes and Village Management Talents to intervene and handle it immediately.

He would resolve their dissatisfaction.

He would relieve their stress.

Or he would give them whatever they desired.

This was, admittedly, a bit like "cheating." Other ordinary players could never be so meticulous, handling every single native denizen’s personal problems and core conflicts to ensure everyone maintained an extremely high level of satisfaction and happiness.

But to maintain absolute fairness and justice within a nation, or even an entire civilization, and ensure true equality of status for all—rather than letting 1% of the population do 0.01% of the work while hoarding 99.9% of the rewards—such an idealized state could only be achieved through a form of cheating akin to the Three-Body People descending upon Earth.

Besides.

Having a cheat and not using it? That’s just throwing the game.

「Deep within a hidden underground space in the core of the Northern Forest’s Death Zone—the Lord’s Hall of the Evil God Players.」

At that moment, Dragon King sat alone at the massive round table in the conference room, his eyes filled with utter disbelief.

[Current "Path of Growth" All Player Rankings!]

[Note: As a special player of the Evil God Faction, you will not appear on the event rankings.]

[First Place: Tingfeng [One-Star (Green)]]

[Second Place: Mumu [One-Star (Gray)]]

[Third Place: mad madam [Zero-star (Gold)]]

[Fourth Place: Hafke AI Tank [Zero-star (Gold)]]

[Fifth Place...]

What the hell!

Dammit!

’What in the world is going on with these two?’

’The Strongest Lord event isn’t even over yet! How have they already become Extraordinary Creatures?’

’Am *I* the Evil God Believer, or are *they*?’

’Are Red-difficulty Lost Secret Realms supposed to be that easy to clear?’

’Fine!’

’Let’s say they did clear it!’

’The prerequisite for reaching Zero-star (Red) combat power is getting at least two Attributes to 300 or higher!’

’Even if both their Destinies are King of War, which halves the attribute point requirement, they’d still need at least two Attributes at 150 or higher!’

’How the hell did those two rack up so many attribute points so fast?’

’Before level 20, Extraordinary Professions—whether Ordinary Level or Legendary Level—only grant a handful or a dozen-odd points per level-up. That’s nowhere near enough to meet the threshold for Zero-star (Red) combat power!’

’And as for the Achievement Rewards and Secret Realm First-Pass Rewards that grant extra attribute points... those are just table scraps! The amount you get is extremely limited!’

’So, the only way to get attribute points faster, reach the Zero-star (Red) stage, and then advance to a 1-star Extraordinary Creature is to wait for the Strongest Lord event to end. Then, you help a Native Power during the King’s War event, and the high-ranking nobles from that power will grant you all sorts of treasures and items to boost your attribute points.’

’That’s the point when it’s reasonable for most top-tier players to push for the Extraordinary Realm.’

’Look at mad madam and Hafke AI Tank. Their combat power is what you’d expect from normal top-tier players. They completely crush other Lord Players, but they’re still a huge distance away from Zero-star (Red). They can’t possibly become Extraordinary Creatures before the King’s War.’

’They’ll need to grind for a long time before they can become 1-star Lords.’

’But we Evil God Players, we can rely on the great boons from the Evil God to become 1-star Extraordinary Creatures faster than them. Then we can unleash a Dimensional Strike on their territories...’

"Holy shit!"

"Brother Long!"

"There’s a bunch of weird Undead Creatures near my territory!"

"Their overall combat power isn’t high, but the Legendary Level Necromancer leading them is ridiculous. He seems like he’s about to break through to the Extraordinary Realm!"

"What’s the call?"

"Should I go make contact? Try to convert him into an Evil God Believer? Or should I just wipe them out?"

Seeing the private message from the player Greed, Dragon King frowned, his contemplation interrupted. He immediately sent a message back:

"Hm?"

"Undead Creatures?"

"And where did they come from?"

Greed replied quickly:

"From the north."

"He’s a survivor from the Elf Kingdom. An Elf Prince named Arthas. He survived the attack from those Void Creatures by relying on the Death Power he gained after becoming a Necromancer. He’s even raised an Undead Legion a few thousand strong."

Dragon King froze for a moment at the news. Then, for some inexplicable reason, he asked:

"Arthas?"

"He’s not connected to that player, Tingfeng, is he?"

Greed stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"I’m not sure."

"But there shouldn’t be a connection, right?"

"If he were coming to cause trouble for us, that Tingfeng guy would have sent his main army."

"It makes no sense for him to send an allied native force over here by itself just to get slaughtered."

"And just hand us free kills."

"That would just accelerate our growth as Evil God Players."
