Chapter 5
I, Wu, Fear Nothing! (1/4!)

Mist swirled in the grand hall.

A stunning woman in red, barefoot and suspended in the air, her face cold, exuded an invisible pressure.

The students dared not breathe, listening attentively!

“......Take your rewards!”

She held a shimmering light, flinging it out with a swift motion.

The light transformed into countless specks, spreading instantly throughout the hall.

The next moment,

A light point descended before each student.

The points grew larger, becoming luminous orbs.

Poof—!

The light dispersed,

Revealing several items within.

There were finger-sized architectural models, a [Altar] and a [Barracks].

There were also ten black crystals the size of fingernails!

“Territory buildings and Void Crystals!”

Wu Chi's eyes flickered, and he swept his hand, storing everything in his inventory.

This was the standardized newcomer reward, the same for everyone in the country.

“Firstly......”

The woman in red spoke again, her voice clear and cold, penetrating hearts, stirring ripples.

“Congratulations on becoming Lords, officially stepping into this era!”

It was a blessing. The previously tense students relaxed, their faces brightening with the appropriate excitement.

The Era of Universal Lords. Only by becoming a Lord could one truly experience this grand age!

“I believe you’ve learned enough in school. But to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, I still have two points to remind you of!”

“Newcomer Lords, the first month is a trial period, and it will be dangerous. If you can’t hold on, flee the Void immediately!”

“Remember, don’t take any risks!”

“But if you are confident, the first month is also one of your golden opportunities!”

“Those who came here are all from ordinary families. I believe you understand the importance of opportunity.”

The woman spoke softly, addressing the newcomer trial.

This was the newcomer trial period that every Lord had to go through.

After their first arrival, they would enter the 30-day “Void Trial,”

Within those 30 days,

They could only carry a maximum of two territory buildings and a limited amount of resources!

If they successfully persisted for 30 days, the Void would assess them and bestow rewards upon newcomers!

For those from affluent backgrounds, it was simply a bonus; if they had it, great, if they didn’t, it wouldn’t matter.

But for ordinary families, this was a chance to leap ahead!

“Yes, this is a great opportunity for ordinary people to transform, can’t miss it!”

“The trial period is too dangerous, I’ll play it safe......”

“The Void Monster Tides are endless, we might not even survive the first wave, come on!”

“Resource allocation must be rational, as the teacher said, we can survive the initial stage, acquire enough Void Crystals, then use the Altar and Barracks to fight and sustain ourselves! Become stronger!”

“Actually, as long as you're lucky, 30 days isn’t too difficult.”

“The difficult part is the performance and evaluation.”

......

The students buzzed with discussion,

Some were excited, their ambitions evident on their faces, their fighting spirit surging!

Some looked hesitant, a little fearful, unwilling to take risks!

Others seemed indifferent, with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude.

Almost everyone present was from an ordinary family.

After all, those from wealthier families wouldn’t bother coming to receive the rewards distributed by the state; they’d go and purchase better buildings themselves!

Of course, due to resource constraints, even those who didn’t come wouldn’t be able to start with high-level buildings, at most, just some rare Level 1 buildings.

Even so, their starting point was far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

Observing their varied attitudes, Wu Chi smirked.

“Poor people fear the rich, the rich fear the geniuses. And geniuses......”

“Fear those who hang back!”

He, Wu Chi, was unafraid!

“Quiet!”

The woman in red spoke again. Her melodious voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a mysterious power, quieting the hall in an instant.

She hesitated, then stopped short.

After a long moment, she waved her hand. “If your territory characteristics are exceptional, you can take a look at the investment contracts outside the hall.”

With those words, the woman in red dissipated into mist, disappearing.

Seeing her leave, the students finally dared to speak again, their faces filled with curiosity.

“Is the Principal......taking investment intentions?”

“I remember, the Principal used to oppose students getting involved with social investment!”

“Haven’t you heard? Last year, the parents took the Principal to court!”

“Blocking people’s money-making, a feud to the death, those parents were driven by greed, not at all concerned for their children’s future.”

“You can’t say that, someone investing, even if it leads to becoming a vassal lord in the future, is better than a life of mediocrity!”

......

The students chatted among themselves, gradually leaving the hall.

Wu Chi also strolled out, turning his head to glance at a panel beside the door.

It displayed many investment contracts!
