Global Lords: My Territory Heart Is a World Tree

Chapter 306: Chapter 4: Small Thrown Flame Burst Bomb

Lin Yu spent the next week at home, helping his parents take care of Lin Shuang.

Whenever his parents had a spare moment, he used his energy to adjust their breathing, passively teaching them the Sun and Moon Breathing Technique until it became their natural way of breathing. He did the same for his younger sister, Lin Shuang, of course.

After taking care of all this, Lin Yu went to see the security personnel under the guise of visiting his neighbors.

After outlining his general security expectations for the next decade, Lin Yu curiously asked the six Extraordinary Beings a question.

"Brother Song, you all seem very powerful. According to the list I got from customer service, your strength is top-tier here on Cuiwei Star. So why aren’t you out adventuring in the Cosmos instead of choosing to work security?"

"Sigh... We spent our share of years out there adventuring. If I hadn’t taken an arrow to the knee—one that never healed right—I wouldn’t be looking for a place to retire."

"All of you?"

"Yeah, what can you do? We had a stroke of bad luck and ran into some maniac obsessed with shooting knees. All of us got hit. That guy was terrifyingly strong, and the wounds he inflicted are impossible to heal. It is what it is."

"Back in my day..."

As they continued to chat, Song Fei began recounting his past glories. Lin Yu listened intently, piecing together from his stories a vision of the Cosmos that was quite different from what he had imagined.

...

A day later, Lin Yu returned to the Lord Service Center.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. This is the item you ordered! Please sign for it." At his room’s entrance, Lin Yu met a female attendant. Upon seeing him, she presented her identification before handing him a small box and a receipt to sign.

After signing for it in a bit of a daze, Lin Yu remembered that this was the secret manual he had ordered from the Cuiwei Corps.

Opening the box, he found a jade slip inside, just as he had expected. After a moment of thought, Lin Yu packed the slip back up and had it sent to his family’s farm, instructing his father to give it to his little sister as a gift from him.

’Li Hua still isn’t back, and he’s not answering my messages. I hope nothing happened to him.’

After receiving the jade slip, Lin Yu had wanted to talk to Li Hua and see if he could be persuaded to join his ranks.

Lin Yu’s territory could be said to want for nothing; it had ample energy, resources, and craftsmanship. The aptitude of its residents was steadily improving under the influence of the Sun and Moon Breathing Technique, and its Extraordinary Technology Tree was already unlocked. Any information it lacked could be found in the "Wisdom Library." The entire territory was on the fast track to becoming an Extraordinary Territory.

If Li Hua were willing to join him, he could ride on Lin Yu’s coattails, which would make it easier for him to establish an Extraordinary Territory in the future. Of course, in exchange, Lin Yu would gain an incredibly powerful fighter.

However, when Lin Yu recalled the immense Sword Qi that had unintentionally radiated from Li Hua back in the activity room, he stopped worrying.

’Li Hua is a Sword Immortal, a class that excels at offense. Why should I be worried about him? On Cuiwei Star, his enemies are the ones who should be worried.’

He had learned from his earlier conversation with Song Fei that the highest-ranking Extraordinary Beings on Cuiwei Star were only Tier 2. All the High-tier Transcendents had left for other planets.

The concentration of Extraordinary energy on Cuiwei Star was so low that for a High-tier Transcendent, living there was as unbearable as it would be for a fish in a desert. They couldn’t stand to stay for any extended period.

Putting his worries aside, Lin Yu bought some Nutrient Liquid, returned to his room, and lay down inside the hibernation pod.

(The hibernation pod is a dedicated facility for lords who have passed the second stage and are advancing to the third. It is used while resting at the center to allow a lord to communicate with their territory during the recuperation period.)

「World Tree Territory.」

After Lin Yu’s departure, Shadow’s work focus shifted. Every day, after leading the corps through morning drills, he would take a squad of soldiers to visit the territory’s residents door-to-door.

To encourage population growth, he recorded the status of every household. Families who were actively procreating received rewards in the form of more living resources, while the rations for families with little desire to have children were appropriately reduced.

Furthermore, for each additional child, a family would be allocated even more resources.

A rudimentary trade system had already formed within the territory, and having more resources meant that one could trade their surplus goods for things that would improve their standard of living.

The first items to be traded were things that combat personnel had redeemed with their merits from the territory’s merit shop.

For example, a soldier might use merits to redeem a set of non-standard armor. After earning more merits and redeeming a better set, he would sell the first one to recoup some value. To find a buyer, he would naturally have to sell it for less than the price in the merit shop.

Then, someone without enough merits to buy directly from the shop would purchase the secondhand armor, and a simple transaction was complete.

Furthermore, when Lin Yu learned about this, he didn’t object—on the contrary, he praised it highly. As a result, trading slowly became more common.

Finally, to encourage trade and promote the territory’s financial development, Lin Yu also designated artisan goods—such as crafts, furniture, tools, and cloth—as commercial products, removing them from centralized management. A small portion was collected by the territory to be traded with other territories at the exchange, while the majority was left for the producers to sell themselves.

However, basic necessities for survival, such as grain and meat, remained under a distribution system. They were managed centrally by the territory and dispensed to each household in fixed rations.

Therefore, if a family’s rations were reduced, they would inevitably face the prospect of going hungry and would have to trade other items to acquire more living supplies.
