‘As I suspected, these foreigners are simply untrustworthy, lacking both the elegance of gentleman and the thoughts of a loyal minister. Off with them! I had thought that with Money Can Reach God, I could summon someone to break through the situation for me, but it turns out to be just a craftsman skilled in exotic tricks.’ These thoughts surfaced in Chen Mo’s mind.
‘Such a miraculous ability, just a panel and it displays an untold number of variations, even a fool could discern the loyalty of their heroes.’
‘If I gained this ability…’
‘If all else fails, I could ask that *** Lord, he is a Rank 6 Lord, maybe he knows something.’ After calming down, Chen Mo was a bit overwhelmed, the task seemed simple, but the process was anything but, searching for a certain ore throughout the vast server was like finding a needle in a haystack.
‘But the other party won’t likely help me for nothing, I will have to pay a certain price, sigh~’
“Earl, I think…”
“Earl, I have something to discuss.” Duke Winterfrost directly called out to Chen Mo, thinking that such a miraculous person must be awakened as soon as possible.
“Priest Blake, it’s better that this matter be put to a halt, the land taxes within the territory are the priority, not such exotic tricks,” said Chen Mo, before turning and leaving.
“If that’s what the Lord wishes, then so be it.” Duke Winterfrost outwardly complied with Chen Mo’s command, but internally, he was already pondering how to usurp power.
“Probably won’t work; we cannot go against Noble Code,” Chen Mo contemplated for a moment and chickened out: “Besides, I think what we have now is sufficient, at least there’s nothing to worry about, we can mass-produce various things, and it’s all pretty good.”
“So what should I do next? Because of your industrialization, the territory is already severely overstretched,” said Chen Mo with resignation after glancing at his territory panel.
“Any knowledge has its uses,” Duke Winterfrost wasn’t shocked by the derogatory term, after all, the other party showed himself as nothing more than an ignorant noble, although his territory was somewhat magical, his thinking had long been assimilated by everything nobles stood for.
“Sss~ An S-rank bloodline?” Chen Mo couldn’t help but change his expression; he hadn’t expected to trigger a quest from a hero with only a loyalty of 1 and the reward was an S-rank bloodline.
“Either trade with other realms, or resort to violent plundering,” Duke Winterfrost stated.
“This is truly incredible, I never thought such low-class exotic tricks could have such miraculous effects,” Chen Mo mused while looking at his territory that had entered the early stages of industrialization.
[Quest 1: Please help…]
[Reward: S-rank Bloodline·Three-eyed Tribe]
[You have triggered the quest·Survivor of the Gendaya Civilization]
[Do you accept? Yes/No]
[Note: This quest is part of a chain. Failure in any part will result in the disappearance of all quests in the chain]
[As survivors of the ancient Gendaya Civilization, which once reached the heavens, the Three-eyed Clan possesses power beyond your imagination. Now they need your insignificant help, such as becoming one of their clansmen.]
Duke Winterfrost glanced at Chen Mo, knowing once industry was unleashed, it would be a beast, eating others if not itself.
Duke Winterfrost watched Chen Mo with some surprise, wondering why he had suddenly become so agitated.
However, he didn’t object, as he had just sensed a barely perceptible malice, an obvious sign that the Lord had become dissatisfied with him.
The reason for the dissatisfaction was obviously clear to him, the loyalty on his own hero panel had dropped from 5 to 1. If he could see it, then Chen Mo, as the Lord, certainly could as well.
Chen Mo opened the chat channel and began to carefully consider every word, how to speak so as not to let the other party guess his thoughts, while better persuading the other party to help him, and possibly reducing the other party’s greed to pay a little less.
Seeing this, Chen Mo immediately sensed something was amiss; the loyalty had dropped from 5 to 1. Normally, at this point, he should leave his territory and revert to a factionless hero unit, but the other party was still here, indicating a preparation to move against him.
But the problem was Chen Mo couldn’t find it, where to look for it, and the name was also quite peculiar; he certainly hadn’t seen such a thing in his warehouse.
For him, the solution to break the stalemate should be to use strategies of power, to further advance his territory through methods such as attracting with benefits, dividing, and suppressing, rather than relying on so-called strange and exotic tricks.
The Duke of Whitefrost, however, glanced disdainfully, truly a noble demeanor. If his industrialization were completed, wealth would pour in, but the result? This lord actually only has his eyes on the money of the citizens within his domain, how much could these poor people scrape together?
And industrialization is the opposite; in these days, it’s been like an endless pit that nothing can fill. I used to tolerate it, but when I saw the loyalty decrease, it directly became a fuse.
As for looting, that’s even less possible. With the noble wars in place, even if you win, you only obtain the equivalent weight in gold from the nobility, and you can’t wage noble wars continuously; there is strict management in this regard.
Not to mention whether it is the taboo of some divine being, in case it’s mentioned in the classics, if I were to take it casually, I might suffer pressure from the Church.
In other words, it’s equivalent to a divine artifact, so of course, I accepted it immediately. After all, there is no penalty for failure, but if successful, the rewards could be substantial.
That time I killed quite a few heroes and troops; this matter of low loyalty can become an issue. Generally speaking, below 30 points they will leave, below 10 points staying within the territory definitely indicates ill intentions.
The difficulty is not great, only wanting his help in finding a special kind of ore, which counts as the simplest material type of quest.
Some time ago, I contacted Sam; his gene decryption device is about to be made, but he requires a bit of help.
Suppressing the excitement, I turned around and said, “Speak, what’s the matter.”
Belonging to the same rank, I need to find a way to feign compliance first to see what the other party is actually planning.
Even though I find it to be quite decent, it is just that, decent. In my eyes, it doesn’t even qualify as an unorthodox path; it’s merely a side track.
Although I entertain wild fantasies, I quickly discard the thought, having tried to find the reason but failing to catch any clues.
Can the so-called industrialization compare with the profound items within “Lord Era”?
So I thought about whether I could misdirect the trouble first, to have that *** lord help me search. If the other party really does find it, then wouldn’t I make a fortune?
So what he thought was simple: it was to seize power.
He himself was once a magistrate, although having encountered some setbacks after entering “Lord Era”, he managed to establish a domain, balance it daily with skill, and felt that he could be considered a feudal lord, naturally impossible to listen to a craftsman anymore.
He has no loyalty towards Chen Mo, naturally impossible to talk about swearing allegiance or finding a mutually beneficial solution or the like. Humans who haven’t awakened and become a member of the Three-eyed Clan, in his eyes, are merely tools; who would consider the thoughts of a tool?
What he needs is someone who can collect taxes for him, unite various forces, and thus, his Money Can Reach God can attain greater power.
I have no idea how long it has been since I triggered a quest; the stagnation of the entire territory is stuck on the lack of activities and quests, making it unchanging, not only not getting stronger but actually regressing quite a bit.

He naturally knows how rare bloodlines are, thinking back to when there wasn’t even one person with a bloodline on his server, and he also knows what an S rank evaluation is.
The thought of the previous uprising, had it not been for the fear that the other was also a 5th rank legend, Chen Mo would have been ready to kill on the spot.
Therefore, he didn’t take it to heart at all.
Sometimes, seizing power doesn’t necessarily mean taking control into one’s own hands, especially when the other party is so special; instead, turning them into one of us is sufficient.
After the other party stated their request, the first link of the entire quest chain appeared in Chen Mo’s eyes.
This directly caused Chen Mo to hesitate because both options were unsuitable; the former basically couldn’t earn much money, and for trade, after multiple levels of exploitation, how much could actually be made?
I have experience in this matter, when I first came to this server, I thought about completing activities, and what happened? My subordinates, after becoming followers of the divine being, sensed my intentions, and naturally, it was to eradicate me, the heretic.
As long as this lord Chen Mo also successfully awakens and revives as a member of the Three-eyed Clan, then everything would be much easier to handle.
