Chapter 1021: Chapter 235: The Second Phase of Wealth and Blessings

Lin Rui’s preparation, of course, is to quickly use up the Territorial Essence he currently has.

With so many effects of being [Historically Significant], the territory equalizes to having a massive time deposit.

Actually, the territory doesn’t have any urgent matters to attend to; Lin Rui’s current time feels like a gentle breeze, a bright moon, weeping willows, or more simply put, romance and beauty.

After so many years of warfare, it’s time for him to enjoy himself.

In the foreseeable years to come, he has no major tasks to undertake and can totally rely on a few years to pile up wealth for the territory.

However, the [Historically Significant] effect of the [Territorial Essence] essentially achieves the same result in terms of accumulating strength.

Obviously, he can’t just let these Territorial Essences go to waste.

Continuing to invest in Territorial Essence not only accelerates the growth of these newborns but also helps continue increasing the population.

With a single birth reaching over ten thousand, this birth rate is indeed very high, and quite a few families even have twins, or even triplets.

Though the territory doesn’t have the protection of the God of Fertility, its Luck Level is relatively high, making the probability of double ovulation greater.

This is something Lin Rui didn’t anticipate, and not only are there double ovulation cases, but also identical twins, looking exactly alike.

Frankly speaking, the biggest issue hindering increased birth rates in the territory right now is marriage.

The difficulty of getting married seems unavoidable in any country.

Lin Rui, as the Lord, must think of ways to increase the marriage rate among the populace.

Otherwise, many young women remain pure, how can they have children?

And there are quite a few of them, with tens of thousands of beauties in the territory not married or even involved romantically with men, not even having dated.

This can’t be helped; the main male workforce of the territory is all in the army, fighting outside, leaving them no time to interact with the beauties of the territory.

Lin Rui feels like a diligent gardener, not only concerned with strengthening the territory but also wondering if the pigs in the territory have plowed those tender cabbages.

With tens of thousands of beautiful ladies waiting to be married, Lin Rui is quite anxious.

No matter how hard he works, this kind of task can’t be done for someone else.

Let’s not forget he hasn’t set up something like a ’first night right’ in the territory, even if it existed, there’s so many he can’t plant seeds for all of them!

This issue can’t be rushed for Lin Rui, so he simply entrusted it to Caroline and Yuyu.

They’re one a territory’s Civil Servant, the other a Territorial Priestess, both more suited to worry about marriage matters than Lin Rui, the Lord and Divine Champion.

Later, Lin Rui went directly to the Government Hall, after reviewing the territory’s data, began to invest Territorial Essence from midnight onwards.

[Ding, Territorial Essence successfully added, civilization has expanded through fusion, gained ’Vast Territory’ trait, territory’s area has increased by 5 kilometers in radius.]

[Ding, Territorial Essence successfully added, civilization has expanded through fusion, gained ’Dense Population’ trait, the territory will receive 50 vagrant immigrants, please protect and receive them, Lord.]

[Ding, Territorial Essence successfully added, civilization has expanded through fusion, gained ’Historically Significant’ trait, all buildings, resource points, and items in the territory gain periodic time revenue.]

[Ding, Territorial Essence successfully added, civilization has expanded through fusion, gained ’Historically Significant’ trait, all buildings, resource points, and items in the territory gain periodic time revenue.]

...

[Ding, Territorial Essence successfully added, civilization has expanded through fusion, gained ’Historically Significant’ trait, all buildings, resource points, and items in the territory gain periodic time revenue.]

[Ding, Semi-Divine Artifact: Breath of the Ancestral Race effect triggered: Your aura and Spiritual Energy have inevitably influenced the populace within the territory, all inhabitants receive ’Wealth and Blessings’ effect, when opening treasure chests there’s a 1% chance to obtain an additional item lower than the current chest level, and a 0.1% chance to obtain an additional item of the current level (note: consumed items will be deducted from the territory’s treasury, once items of corresponding levels are exhausted, higher level items will be drawn from the territory’s treasure vault). When the inhabitants open treasure chests, they gain 1~5 points of Basic Attribute Value, influenced by the chest level. Any creature in the territory killing monsters grants the Lord an additional 2 experience points, and the Lord additionally receives one ten-thousandth of the wealth harvested (value insufficient, accumulation required until minimum value met before deduction begins)]

Lin Rui’s eyes widened in surprise. Before investing in the Territorial Essence, he considered the new Clan Aura might be strong, but he never imagined it would be this strong!

This is a capability naturally suited to the Golden Pansy Domain.

[Qingyu Divine Light (Fine-level): A family of accumulated benevolence will surely prosper. Woven with the pure and flawless Heart of the Maiden to form the Prayer Ring of Divine Protection. Placed in a room, it will accumulate fruits from members’ benevolent acts (note: current Quality Qingyu Divine Light can transform virtue into Golden Treasure Chest)]

This is currently one of the territory’s most important specialties; its effect is to convert into treasure chests after amassing enough good fortune or merits!

The priestess Yuyu previously mentioned when analyzing Lin Rui’s choice of Divine Position; there is a stark difference in beliefs regarding wealth between the East and the West, the entire territory is deeply influenced by Lin Rui’s consciousness.

Namely, [A family of accumulated benevolence will surely prosper]!

This belief is deeply ingrained in the entire territory.

Yet it’s obviously influenced by Lin Rui’s aura, because outside the Golden Pansy Domain, this view doesn’t exist at all.
