Global Lords: My Territory Heart Is a World Tree

Chapter 298: Chapter 1: Returning to Cuiwei Star

’There’s no one else in this room, anyway. Letting out a few shouts to blow off some steam should be good for my mental and physical health.’

"Mr. Lin, do you require any assistance?" a soft female voice suddenly asked from the direction of the wall.

"No, I’m just blowing off some steam. Don’t mind me!"

"Of course. If you need anything, just call out for me. I am at your service anytime. You can also call us via your wristband. As long as you are within the base, we will respond immediately. If you are outside the base, we will arrange for the nearest personnel to assist you!"

"Got it!"

The sudden voice startled Lin Yu. Only then did he remember that while there was no one in the room, it was under surveillance. The service center staff constantly monitored every lord who teleported back to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

Lin Yu activated his wristband (it only worked on Cuiwei Star, not in the Lord’s Competition arena), planning to leave the room and check for any messages he’d missed.

"Hm? How has it only been a few minutes?"

He was shocked to realize that while a significant amount of time had passed from his avatar’s perspective, only a few minutes had actually gone by on Cuiwei Star. He recalled the system prompt before he teleported: [...time ratio is 50:1].

In other words, for every minute he spent on Cuiwei Star, fifty minutes would pass in the World Tree Territory.

’Damn, this time ratio... I need to think carefully about how to use it.’

’First, I’ll take care of my business here. Then I’ll go into seclusion to study. It’s the perfect opportunity to read up on Druid knowledge; otherwise, my level will be stuck.’

[All promoted lords of the 40,410,086th session are requested to proceed to Activity Room 20456 on the second floor of the Trading Hall at the Lord’s Competition Service Center to attend the pre-briefing for the third stage.]

[The meeting will explain the specific procedures for the third stage in detail, including some confidential information.]

[The meeting will officially begin in half an hour. All interested lords are advised to proceed there immediately!]

A message popped up on his wristband. The sender was the Cuiwei Lord Corps.

Upon seeing the message, Lin Yu immediately headed out of the room.

...

「Trading Hall.」

Lin Yu followed his wristband’s navigation toward Activity Room 20456. Along the way, he saw a group of people lining up in front of a device that looked like a scanner from inside a Teleport Point.

Every so often, someone would receive a test report, joyfully hand it to a nearby staff member, and then be led away.

But more people, after receiving their reports, walked dejectedly toward the center’s exit.

"Hey, what’s going on with them?" Lin Yu asked a nearby staff member, his curiosity piqued.

The staff member glanced at his wristband before replying, "Hello, esteemed Lord. Those are former lords who were eliminated during the second and third stages."

"They’re undergoing a physical fitness evaluation. If they meet the standard for an Extraordinary Being, they can join the Cuiwei Lord Corps’ Extraordinary teams."

"So that’s a scanner? They’re just having a physical?"

"Yes, Lord."

"Don’t the Teleport Points and our assigned rooms have scanners? Why are they coming all the way here to get tested?"

"It’s like this, Lord. You may not be aware, but eliminated lords aren’t sent to the Teleport Points. They’re transported to the medical service center."

"This is because, as you know, a lord’s consciousness is damaged when their connection to their Territory Core is severed."

"Not every lord has 10,000 points to protect their consciousness. Plus, some lords are killed by others, which forcibly severs the connection and gives them no time to protect themselves."

"As a result, every year there are always some lords who suffer mental damage."

"Setting the destination for eliminated lords as the medical center is a protective measure."

"However, the medical center is only responsible for the former lords’ physical health; it doesn’t offer fitness evaluations. Moreover, after elimination, their lord wristbands and assigned rooms are confiscated. That’s why they can only come to this public scanner to be tested."

The staff member explained in detail why these former lords had to come here for a physical evaluation. Once he understood, Lin Yu walked away from the public scanner.

’This has nothing to do with me, anyway. I’ve already advanced to the third stage, and I’m sure I’ll make it to the fourth.’

He also didn’t ask why the people lining up were all former lords from the second and third stages, with none from the fourth.

The answer was common knowledge: there is a miniscule chance to change one’s class in the second stage, an opportunity to do so in the third stage, and a guarantee of doing so in the fourth stage.

In other words, anyone who reaches the fourth stage is guaranteed to become an Extraordinary Being, even if they are eliminated. They would have no need to come here for a physical evaluation.

...

After wandering through the maze-like Trading Hall, Lin Yu finally found Activity Room 20456. He presented his wristband for verification and walked inside.

The activity room was enormous, as it had to accommodate at least 10,000 people. In the center of the room, a group of people was already seated neatly near the stage, prepared for the meeting to start.

Lin Yu found an empty area and sat down. Although he had countless online acquaintances, the only one he knew here was Li Hua. Besides, Li Hua was currently at the center of a storm, and sitting with him would be too risky. So, even though he saw Li Hua at the front of the room surrounded by a large crowd of other lords, he didn’t go over and join them.

After a little while, it was time. Someone walked up to the stage in the center of the activity room.
