“Level 7, ah...” Qin Muye sighed, had it been two or three months later, he wouldn’t have been so passive.
“Sigh~ Points!”
“But it’s also an opportunity, military production can be ramped up. This time it’s not just the Lords’ affair, the natives will probably have to get involved too.”
“It can’t be the same old routine, otherwise, what the hell are we playing for!”
“And we need to significantly increase the output of all kinds of military equipment, let the black hands reset the prices.”
“What about the subsequent levels 8, 9, 10, how are we going to fight?”
“No wonder there’s been no peep for a month, they really were saving up for a big move.”
“It seems the Lords from different servers own lands with unique features?”
“Forget it, the Intergalactic Fortress Number’s Floating City has become a long-term plan, so let’s first develop the Stone Statue Ghost Armor. With this individual combat armor, all the Spirit Monsters can be updated and upgraded.”
“My god... how is this even playable? 6 servers and only 1 can survive?”
“Isn’t this a bit of an exaggeration?”
“Now I’m relatively stable, so should I consider ending my single life?”
“Let’s check the points store first, this time they’re offering special items for exchange without opening a leaderboard, tsk...”
“Lucky that the True Dragon Emperor is still holding his ground, otherwise it would really be over for me, I need to find a way to settle this quickly.”
“This time, I have to fight for it...” Qin Muye knew, if he couldn’t avoid it, he had to eliminate the enemy.
“Equipment overhaul, magic improvement, and military equipment development, push them all to the max on armaments. If I can’t beat a level 6 Champion Level, can’t I still pick on the weaklings?”

[Level 6 is the limit for Server 9527 of Magic Continent, but not for the Lords, 6 servers will compete for one server promotion spot, and the successful defeat of other servers will increase the limit of the victorious server to Level 7]
[This long-term event will award points for destroying, killing external server Lords’ forces, continuing until only 1 server’s Lords remain]
[This long-term event does not open a points leaderboard but opens a points store for special item exchanges]
[Participating servers: Server 9527 Magic Continent, Server 6654 Extreme Cold Ice Land, Server 1318 Mysterious Village, Server 1476 Wasteland City, Server 5953 Zombie Kingdom, Server 2115 Rich Ocean]
[...]
[10th place: Wang Junzi (Server 9527 Magic Continent), Territory: Sin Temple, Overall Strength: Level 6 Champion]
Qin Muye opened the leaderboard and felt a chill.
Qin Muye’s Floating City project turned into an installment plan; first, because the promotion to the fourth tier meant the territory became too large, demanding excessive resources, and second, because his Spirit Monster minions’ craftsmanship was not mature.
Qin Muye looked at this scene and felt numb all over.
Qin Muye took out books and blueprints and began to study.
Qin Muye’s exaggeration was not that the top twenty were all Champion Level, but damn, there were only 77 lords across the six servers, with Rich Ocean having the most, followed by Qin Muye’s Magic Continent.
The distinguishing feature of the Magic Continent where Qin Muye resided was all kinds of fantasy creatures, while the nature of Mysterious Village was unclear, but like Zombie Kingdom, they are both urban.
Qin Muye ranted for a while. As for finding a wife? That would have to wait. Though he had barely managed some security before, now the pressure was really on.
Qin Muye steeled his heart, knowing he couldn’t hide from such a situation and had to find a way to deal with it.
Places like Extreme Cold Ice Land and Mysterious Village seem tough, and only Rich Ocean looks a bit more upright. The rest seem to be full of ruthless people.
With a massive shudder, Qin Muye saw the sky tear apart as six enormous worlds began to border each other, turning the original six servers into one vast server.
Therefore, building the Floating City became a long-term project, as the territory couldn’t afford it, so installment payments it was.
With his current strength, many forces were eagerly offering him beauties, whether human, elves, or other Alien Clans like Centaurs or mermaids. There was nothing Qin Muye couldn’t imagine, nothing they couldn’t offer.
If he could avoid something, he would, but if he couldn’t, that meant he had to fight for his life.
All to win favor with him, an up-and-coming military merchant.
If not for incompatible civilizations, Qin Muye would even consider playing the stock market to harvest leeks and play with financial markets, but that might easily get him beaten up.
In other words, except for the strong, the weak are wiped out.
No matter how tumultuous things were before, there wouldn’t be any major actions, but now, Qin Muye feared being kidnapped and thrown into some server as a bomb...
Besides, Qin Muye was the biggest arms merchant around; now wouldn’t be the time for anyone to contemplate cutting off their own arm first.
A long-term event means it won’t end until the conditions are met, and more importantly, these five servers seem like they aren’t to be trifled with.
That’s an entirely possible scenario.
In other words, this long-term event was essentially a world conflict—whoever wins could reach a higher level.
This Floating City technology was too advanced. Even though he had already switched to a technical role, there were still many problems. Plus, he needed to manufacture various materials himself. Even if Qin Muye provided the formulas and smelting processes, the Spirit Monsters still had to learn them for a while. It’s not like they could learn everything immediately.
This time, he couldn’t do it alone; he needed the collaboration of other lords and the original inhabitants. This time, everyone’s interests were aligned. They might backstab, but they wouldn’t go too far openly.
Just as he wondered what sort of wife he wanted, a new round of activities from “Lord Era” emerged abruptly.
Previously, he hadn’t accepted any offers, as life was paramount and caution was preferable, but now he didn’t care, barely having some security at the fourth tier.
As for the installments, of course, they came from selling arms in his territory and monopolizing the Demon Crystals, among other methods. He couldn’t possibly rely solely on selling luxury goods, right?
Qin Muye wasn’t greedy for the Server Transfer Token; what he wanted was Random Dungeon Scrolls. To others, it might be a generous reward, but for Qin Muye, it was a whole new world.
