World Channel! Call to Arms for Desert Soldiers!
Li Ming felt a sense of relief, having two skilled fighters under his command.
But of course, he knew he needed more!
"Zhang Ernest, team up with Meu Yer and the rest. Patrol our territory's barrier for any lurking mist beasts. If you find any, send them to their doom and bring their remains to me. You should them out from the safety of our barrier to avoid any casualties! If you're confident in your abilities, you can venture outside the barrier. Be cautious though, don't stray too far and remember, your safety is the most important!" Li Ming cautioned.
He treasured these two combat professionals and didn't want them to get hurt.
"Understood, Your Majesty!" Zhang Ernest responded respectfully before leaving to gather Meu Yer and the others.
Suddenly, Li Ming was bombarded with four consecutive notifications.
[The Emperor's personal profile has been unlocked!]
[Proxima Centauri B's Emperor's World Channel has been unlocked!]
[Proxima Centauri B's Emperor's Marketplace has been unlocked!]
[Friend List Interface has been unlocked!]
A little surprised from the consecutive notifications, Li Ming opened his Emperor profile.
[Emperor Title: None]
[Strength Level: Red-Tier Elementary Grade]
[Territory Name: Unnamed]
[Territory Level: Red-Tier Elementary Grade]
[Territory Area: 400m x 400m x 400m]
[Emperor Skill: Hermes' Touch (Legendary-Tier)]
[Territory Building: The Emperor's Cabin (Red-Tier Elementary Grade), Portal of Enlightenment (Red-Tier Elementary Grade)]
[Race Talent: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Skill: None]
[Mist Core: Two]
[Prime Crystal: Zero]
After a moment of thought, Li Ming decided to name his territory Herausragend Desert Empire and adopted the title of Herausragend Emperor. The land he was treading was known as the Herausragend Desert, so the name seemed fitting.
Next, he opened the Proxima Centauri B's Emperor's Marketplace and thr Friend List Interface.
The Proxima Centauri B's Emperor's Marketplace was a trading hub for Emperors, but at the moment it was fairly barebones, featuring only basic materials like stone, wood, and a handful of metal.
His friend list interface was a blank slate.
Curious, Li Ming then opened the Proxima Centauri B's Emperor's World Channel.
A flurry of comments from fellow Emperors filled a virtual screen that popped up, with the Proxima Centauri B serving as a backdrop.
[Have we really crossed over to another world?!]
[It's no dream. I slapped my summoned subject and got a slap right back. My cheek is still stinging...]
[Idiot]
[Have we been kidnapped?!]
[Please if you want money, I can give it you! I am a CEO of a Huge Pharmaceutical Company. I have loads of money! I can give you everything!]
[The loyalty of newly summoned subjects is just barely passable. It's better not to do anything that could lower it further.]
[What's your Emperor Skill? Mine's a Blue-Tier Peak Grade — Administrative Hall. My territory has a special building. It stands out the most, it looks like a medieval temple and it's massive! I can send my subjects there at a cost, and they'll come back as Winged Fist Masters!]
[No way! Blue-Tier Emperor Skill?! I only have a Red-Tier Intermediate Grade Emperor Skill called 'Subject Recruitment Order' that lets me summon three additional subjects from the Portal of Enlightment each day.]
[I'm good. I have a Yellow-Tier Intermediate Grade — Reaper Master Station. It says here that Reaper Master Professionals will pass through my territory, and there's a chance I can recruit them as my subjects!]
[I have got a Green-Tier Intermediate Grade — Eagle Corps! My territory has its own Eagle Barracks. Though it seems appropriate if I call it a huge nest instead… But I can recruit a special flying combat army]
[The gap in skill between Emperors is truly astonishing.]
[I envy you, guys. I wasn't able to awaken any Emperor Skill.]
[Why can't I awaken any skill like you, guys? This is so unfair!]
[The lifespan of the locust is short indeed!]
[Have you guys battled the Crimson Mist monsters yet? I just ordered my subjects to take down an Iron-Fang Mist Wolf through the protective barrier. It only dropped 2 units of Mist Core and a unit of flesh.]
[Your territory has monsters too?]
[I have them as well, seven or eight of them! I am doomed!]
[They can drop meat and water? Why did mine only drop 2 units of Mist Core?]
...
As Li Ming scanned through the messages, he reflected.
From the Emperors' discussion, it appeared that high-level Emperor Skills were quite rare. About 80% of the Emperors had Red-Tier, Orange-Tier, or Yellow-Tier Skills, with the remaining 20% having Green-Tier or above.
He noticed nobody mentioned a Legendary-Tier Emperor Skill like his own.
[The monsters outside are way too strong. Killing even one through the barrier is a challenge. And this is just the first day. How tough is the Novice Emperor Test in seven days going to be?!]
[I'm getting cold feet here.]
[Defeating monsters can boost your subjects' strength and your own. This might be our only hope to survive the Novice Emperor Test in seven days.]
[Relying solely on the protective barrier to kill monsters is just too slow.]
[Are you brave enough to venture out without enough subjects?]
[If I go out, I won't be able to beat the monsters. If I don't, killing monsters will be slow. It's a conundrum.]
Reading these messages made Li Ming alert.
The Emperors had a point. If the monsters on day one were already this challenging, how powerful would they be on day seven? To survive the test in seven days, he must gather strength during this time!
Just then, the sound of a sparkling noise echoed from not too far off.
Two orbs of Sapphire Energy materialized within him, invigorating him.
Soon after, Meu Yer, Zhang Ernest, and the rest approached, excitement on their faces, hauling the bodies of two Desert Mist Spiny Lizards. They dropped the corpses at Li Ming's feet.
"Reporting in, Your Majesty!"
"We found these two Desert Mist Spiny Lizards and dealt with them through the protective barrier."
Expectancy filled the faces of Meu Yer and the others.
Li Ming couldn't help but smile at their anticipation.
He examined the two Desert Mist Spiny Lizards' corpses. One was just like the previous Desert Mist Spiny Lizard, a Red-Tier Elementary Grade, with the same loot.
The other Desert Mist Spiny Lizard's body was twice as big, its scales were much more rough and compact, and its loot seemed much more abundant.
[Item Name: Desert Mist Spiny Lizard's Corpse]
[Item Level: Red-Tier Intermediate Grade]
[Item Effect: Contains unextracted loots.]
[Item Description: Mist Monster killed by the soldiers of the Herausragend Empire]
[Prompt: In two hours, this corpse will turn into mist and dissipate into the surroundings.]
[Bounty Drop Rate: 4 units of Red-Tier Mist Core (Drop Rate: 100%), 1 unit to 40 units of Red-Tier Intermediate Grade Desert Mist Spiny Lizard meat (Drop Rate: 20% to 0.5%), 3 kg water bag (Drop Rate: 3%), 1 gradeless Desert Soldier Class Certificate (Drop Rate: 0.1%), 1 Red-Tier Intermediate Grade Desert Soldier Summon Book (Drop Rate: 0.1%)]
