Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 71: It really fun?

Three days later.

Vylyss had not returned to the Resource Storage Center because she claimed that she could now use spatial magic after advancing to rank B.

She could traverse it in seconds despite the distance being over 100 miles.

Moreover, she had set up a special spatial magic around the area—anyone approaching would become trapped in a maze-like space.

Noan, of course, had nothing to say about it. He could only let Vylyss stay by his side.

However, he hadn’t paid much attention to Vylyss’s body over the past three days.

Instead, he had dedicated himself to rigorous training.

Naturally, his sparring partner was Vylyss.

Rather than training within his territory, he went to the area near the Resource Storage Center. Since no one could enter that place, and it was vast and open, it was an ideal battleground.

After three days, Noan realized that while he possessed many abilities, none were exceptionally strong or outstanding.

The only thing he had was a physical strength that was eight times greater than that of an average person.

But even that wasn’t enough.

Noan knew that his enemies weren’t just other lords but also terrifying monsters.

The Mutant Hunter he had faced before was merely the prelude to a greater challenge.

According to the system’s explanation, Mutant Hunter had been at rank D-Peak—on par with Vylyss in rank, yet it had already reached level 3, whereas Vylyss had only been at level 1 at the time.

When ranks were equal, the deciding factors became species and level.

Vylyss, despite being a Mutant, was still a Succubus, a race specialized in magic.

Meanwhile, the Mutant Hunter possessed immense strength, unmatched speed, and an instinct for combat that far surpassed hers.

A one-level difference might seem insignificant, but when applied to Vylyss and the Mutant Hunter, it was like the gap between the moon and the sun.

That was why Vylyss’s defeat had been completely expected.

Now, Noan was training relentlessly to strengthen his combat abilities alongside the Abyss Cube.

He believed that one day, he would have to fight alone when no monsters or heroes were left by his side.

Resting beneath a tree, Noan browsed through the remaining items in his Storage.

He still had a Territory Blueprint, a Random Blueprint, an NPC Summoning Card, and a one-time upgrade for the Resource Storage Center.

However, he had yet to use any of these.

The Territory Blueprint would alter the structure of his domain. If he used it now, other lords would notice the changes, which could bring him even more trouble.

The Random Blueprint was also something he didn’t want to use just yet. His territory was overcrowded, and he had no space to accommodate another structure.

Finally, there was the one-time upgrade for the Resource Storage Center, which he also chose not to use.

For now, he could upgrade the Resource Storage Center with energy crystals.

However, as its level increased, the resources required for further upgrades would increase exponentially.

Noan wanted to wait until the Resource Storage Center reached level 4 or 5 before using the free upgrade card, ensuring he got the maximum benefit.

His mind drifted back to the dream before—when he had seen that woman.

Even though he didn’t know who she was or her identity, he was certain of one thing—she had been the one who saved him.

Noan didn’t want to dwell on it too much. Right now, he was still too weak. If he wanted to rescue her, he would need to become something terrifying—at least level 7 or higher.

"Open personal status screen."

When Noan gave the command, a translucent status screen appeared.

…

[Ding! Upgrade successful. You have obtained Resource Storage Center Level 1.]

Noan watched as the status screen displayed the successful upgrade.

Since receiving 500 Lord Points, he had advanced to Lord Rank F+, meaning the Skeletons he summoned were now also Rank F+.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

Thanks to this, he had successfully evolved Zhisse to Rank D+.

Of course, with the remaining Skeletons, he could use them as an energy source to further strengthen Vylyss and Zhisse.

At that moment, Vylyss suddenly disappeared, but a second later, she reappeared, holding a small pouch in her hands.

Upon closer inspection, the pouch was woven from Zhisse’s silk, making it incredibly durable.

"Master," Vylyss said cheerfully as she sat beside Noan, smiling. "Urlgug and Urlgan have gathered enough energy crystals for you."

Noan took the pouch without even checking its contents. Instead, he immediately placed all the energy crystals inside his Storage.

At that moment, a slot in the Storage displayed the symbol of a small gray stone, accompanied by the number +999.

Another adjacent slot showed a similar stone, with the number +70 beside it.

Noan promptly opened the status menu and initiated the upgrade for the Resource Storage Center.

[Ding! Do you wish to consume 1,000 rank F energy crystals to upgrade the Resource Storage Center?]

"Confirm!"

[Ding! Upgrade successful. You have obtained Resource Storage Center Level 1.]

Noan exhaled softly, feeling a sense of accomplishment. With the center now upgraded, his storage capabilities and energy collection efficiency would improve significantly, bringing him one step closer to strengthening his domain.

…

The Resource Center

Level: 1

Description: Each day, this facility produces 200 units of wood, 200 units of stone, 200 food pills, and 50 rank F energy crystals.

Upgrade Requirement: 1,000 rank E energy crystals (Higher-ranked energy crystals can be used as substitutes).

…

Seeing that the Resource Center could now generate rank F energy crystals, Noan felt joy. Though the amount was small, it was still a reason to be pleased.

In the distance, the Resource Storage Center had begun to change.

A two-meter-high wooden wall replaced the outer fence.

The three simple wooden huts inside had transformed into a corridor connecting four houses together.

Its size had expanded from 400 square meters to 1,000 square meters.

Just as Noan was about to step inside and inspect the Resource Storage Center, Vylyss spoke up.

"Master, someone is looking for you. It appears to be Caleb."

Because Vylyss could use spatial magic, her protective spells surrounded Noan’s territory.

When anyone approached his domain, Vylyss could instantly detect and identify their presence.

Noan nodded, then immediately headed back to his territory with Vylyss.

The furniture had become far more refined inside his home, thanks to Zhisse’s expert weaving and carving abilities.

It could be said that Zhisse was like a master craftsman, using its razor-sharp silk threads for carving and weaving.

With them, it even created a full sofa set and woven new clothing for Noan.

The only issue was that all these clothes were pure white and no other colors.

Noan sat on the large sofa, and as soon as he did, Zhisse crawled onto his shoulder, happily rubbing its small head against his face.

He responded by stroking its head gently with his finger.

The second Zhisse was drowning in despair. She wanted to curse at him but was powerless to do so.

She had thought that Noan would assign her some dangerous, highly classified mission or have her participate in epic battles.

In the end… all she could do was work as a craftsman.

Not only that, but other Zhisse enjoyed it—spending entire days in the forest searching for suitable materials, weaving fabric, and crafting furniture.

’Damn it! I am the Weaving Heavenly Spider, not some mere craftsman!’

’AAAA!!!!’

Inside, the second Zhisse screamed in frustration, but in the end, she could only suffer in silence—because no one could hear her.

However, the only consolation for her was…

Noan hadn’t abandoned her.

He had evolved her to rank D+ in an incredibly short time.

In the past, reaching this rank had taken her more than 200 years, enduring countless agonizing trials and life-threatening situations.

At times, she had even felt that she was teetering on the edge of death.

But now, in just a few short days, she had already reached rank D+—making everything she had once suffered feel utterly pointless.

’But…’

The second Zhisse suddenly glanced at the other Zhisse, who was happily weaving a new piece of fabric.

A thought crept into her mind.

’Why… does weaving actually seem kind of fun?’
