"There's always tomorrow… tomorrow we'll frolic day and night… get to know each other really, really well…"Wu Chi took a deep breath, chanting his new mantra until the raging fire in his loins subsided to a manageable smolder. He knew he had to keep it in his pants during the rookie trials. His troops were fighting for days on end without rest. The least he could do was not be ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) a massive creep during their few hours of downtime."Alright, I'll let them have their fun," he resolved. He gave the girls in the lake a charming smile and turned to leave."Your Majesty!""Your Majesty, are you tired? My strong hands can give you a shoulder rub!""Sister Chen, don't you break His Majesty! Let me do it, my fists are much softer.""Hmph! You're just a kid! You can't handle a man like His Majesty. Let a real woman take care of him!"The voices faded as he walked away. A thought struck him: what would his life even be like after these trials were over?"Man, I am a shameless bastard," he chuckled to himself as he arrived at the newly upgraded [Infirmary]. The divine light was gone, and in its place was a tall, elegant wooden building called the [White Cloud Pavilion].…[White Cloud Pavilion]Type: InfirmaryLevel: 1 (0/200)Function: Heals external wounds, internal injuries, and removes toxins.Beds: 20Stock: 100/100Description: The White Cloud Secret Elixirs are legendary in some world, probably.…"Not bad, it does everything!" Wu Chi nodded, satisfied. A normal infirmary only fixed boo-boos. A rare one could handle internal injuries. This thing did both and cured poison? That was top-tier. The air inside smelled of medicinal herbs, and twenty bamboo beds were neatly arranged. No doctors or nurses were needed; just plop a wounded soldier on a bed, and the magic of the building would do the rest."Super convenient." Wu Chi's eyes narrowed as a… less than wholesome idea popped into his head. If you were, say, exhausted from… strenuous activities… couldn't this place just…Ahem! He shook his head, clearing his mind of impure thoughts, and pulled out the new piece of gear from the boss. As expected, it was a Gold Legendary drop.…[Touch of the Swamp]Type: Equipment (Ring)Quality: Gold LegendaryLevel: 15Attribute 1: Constitution +70, Spirit +70Attribute 2: Minor Shadow Spell Resistance!Attribute 3: Active Skill [Rotting Gaze] (10/10)Attribute 4: Shadow Spell Energy Cost -30%!Requirements: Spirit 150Description: The eye of malice. To look upon it is to rot. No one dares meet its gaze!…A Level 15 gold ring. A shadow priest would probably lose their mind over this. It wasn't really Wu Chi's style, so he decided to give it to Lin Daiyu. Sure, it was a caster ring, but her stats were so bonkers she could probably wear a cursed toilet seat as a hat and still make it work. (TL note: milord..how can you say that?!?)With his work done, he finally went to eat and take a bath. The [Cloud-Top Cherry Inn] was lively, the freshly bathed women gathered in groups, some discussing the battle, others sharing stories of their past lives.It was fascinating. The Great Qin Vanguards came from a fantasy version of the Qin Dynasty, where the first emperor was a brilliant and unrivaled woman. After unifying China, she militarized the entire nation, even allowing women to enlist, and then went on to conquer the whole damn planet. Now, their world was exploring space, ready to take their fight to the stars.The Moon Palace girls' world, on the other hand, had a much sadder story. Theirs was a dying world. They were chosen as children to join the Moon Palace and train to fight a world-ending disaster. But the apocalypse came early, the palace was destroyed, and most of them died. Each of these women had a life, memories, a personality."A female Emperor Qin who conquered the world and is now going to space… badass," Wu Chi mused as he ate. "And a 'world-ending disaster'… they can't even remember what it was. Sounds like some eldritch horror…"After eating, he went for his bath. The [Mirror Lake] water was constantly flowing, so he didn't have to worry about swimming in secondhand bathwater. By the time he got there, the water was already crystal clear again.With everyone resting, he tried a few pulls at the [Red Chamber] (got nothing, of course), and then, it was time.-1000 Void Essence Stones![Territory]: Level 5 → 6! (0/2000)Territory Area: 5000 → 6000 square meters.
