Chapter 89

The attributes of Dongshan Village are exactly the same as those of Xianghe Village; neither has any territory attributes.

Cheng Yang was not surprised by this, as territory attributes are very rare and not every settlement has them, especially those close to the main city, where the presence of territory attributes is extremely rare.

Looking at the empty land of about one square kilometer in front of him, Cheng Yang became momentarily conflicted. Yesterday, when he occupied Xianghe Village, as the first territory to be occupied globally, the deity directly rewarded a road leading to the central village, making the transportation between the two very convenient. However, this Dongshan Village is more troublesome now, and there will likely be no divine reward of a road. Transporting supplies and people here will not be an easy task.

Undoubtedly, due to the lack of a road, the development of Dongshan Village will be slower than that of Xianghe Village.

After being conflicted for a while, Cheng Yang decided not to worry about it. Others probably don't even know that there are wilderness settlements, and he has already occupied three territory altars. He should be content!

Then, Cheng Yang retraced his steps and brought Yu Kai and others to the altar.

With Yu Kai's full anticipation, he took office as the village chief of Dongshan Village, and the deputy village chief was a deputy squad leader from Yu Kai's team named Liu Chengen, a warrior with an S-level talent.

Next, Yu Kai also stayed with everyone near the territory altar, while Cheng Yang returned to Luofeng Village alone.

Actually, Cheng Yang could have brought more people earlier to carry the wood and unconverted population, so that the walls could be built immediately after occupying the territory altar. However, this approach has significant drawbacks. First, it requires bringing a large number of people at once, possibly mobilizing all the combatants in the territory.

At the beginning, Cheng Yang couldn't guarantee when he would find the territory altar. If all the combatants followed him all the time, nothing else could be done.

The return journey was very smooth, and Cheng Yang only took about forty minutes to cover the nearly thirty kilometers.

When he returned to Luofeng Village, it was just noon.

At this time, most of the combatants in Luofeng Village had already returned to the territory for lunch, so Cheng Yang didn't need to gather people.

Just as Cheng Yang was about to let Liu Hao and Li Wanshan's team set off for Dongshan Village, Li Wanshan pulled him aside and said excitedly, "Lord, you've found a treasure this time."

Cheng Yang was slightly taken aback and asked, "What treasure?"

Li Wanshan immediately said, "Isn't Liu Xiyue the girl you brought back? This morning, when I was selecting suitable candidates for the priest role, Pang Shan asked me to check Liu Xiyue first. After the check, I found that Liu Xiyue is indeed suitable for the priest role. In this case, I naturally had to convert her first."

At this point, Li Wanshan suddenly stopped.

Cheng Yang immediately said, "Can you finish your sentence in one go?"

Li Wanshan chuckled and said, "Lord, Liu Xiyue's talent attributes are really powerful. I can't explain it clearly, but you can check it on the altar."

Cheng Yang looked at Li Wanshan, estimating that he wouldn't lie, and immediately went to the altar, opened the attribute list, and brought up Liu Xiyue's attribute panel.

Name: Liu Xiyue

Affiliation: Luofeng Village

Occupation: Priest, Rank: Beginner Priest Apprentice (0%)

Age: 19, Lifespan: 110

Health: 20, Mana: 25

Physical Attack: 1, Magic Attack: 5

Physical Defense: 1, Magic Defense: 1

Attack Speed: 1, Movement Speed: 1

Talents: 1. Holy Word: Talent skill, using this skill to attack enemies with attack power not higher than oneself has a certain chance to instantly kill them. The greater the power gap, the higher the activation chance. Casting cost: 10 mana, cooldown: 2 seconds. This skill cannot be upgraded.

2. Heaven-Defying Luck (Unique): All skill effects with a chance of activation have a 100% activation rate.

Skills: 1. Prayer (Level 1, Basic Priest Skill, can gradually improve through practice. Skill level increases with occupation rank. Current level: 1)

2. Healing Light (Level 1, Heals friendly targets, restoring 2 points of health per magic attack, effective range 30 meters, no special effects. Casting cost: 5 mana, proficiency: 0%)

"Damn! So powerful?" After reading the attributes, Cheng Yang couldn't help but curse.

In fact, just the Heaven-Defying Luck talent alone is already very powerful, as it is a unique talent. Anything with the word "unique" is not ordinary, and the attributes of Heaven-Defying Luck certainly live up to the title of a unique talent.

If it were just this, Cheng Yang wouldn't be so excited, but with the Holy Word talent skill, he felt that heaven was really favoring Liu Xiyue.

Originally, the Holy Word skill wasn't that powerful, as it is an instant-kill skill. If the success rate were too high, others wouldn't be able to survive. However, when combined with the Heaven-Defying Luck talent, it becomes a very unfair combination.

Cheng Yang imagined a beautiful woman shouting at a strong man, "God says, you must die!" and the man immediately losing his life. The scene would be incredibly shocking.

If Liu Xiyue's magic attack power can grow to a certain level in the future, she will be a powerful weapon for Luofeng Village. Of course, this is on the condition that Liu Xiyue doesn't leave Luofeng Village.

"Lord, isn't Liu Xiyue's attribute very powerful?" Li Wanshan asked with a smile, seemingly enjoying Cheng Yang's shocked expression, as he was also very shocked when he first heard about Liu Xiyue's attributes.

After careful consideration, Cheng Yang suddenly said, "This combination looks very powerful, but in reality, it's not as good as you think. After all, Holy Word only works on enemies with attack power not higher than oneself. Once the opponent's attack power is higher, even with the Heaven-Defying Luck effect, it's helpless. In such a situation, due to the lack of other talent bonuses, her combat power is already weaker than others, so she is almost certain to lose."

Li Wanshan was slightly taken aback and had no way to refute Cheng Yang's words.

Cheng Yang continued, "Of course, I'm talking about normal situations. If we are willing to invest a lot of effort in her training, Liu Xiyue will definitely become a trump card for Luofeng Village. By the way, who else knows about Liu Xiyue's attributes?"

Li Wanshan immediately said, "Besides me, no one else knows. At the time, I also thought Liu Xiyue's attributes were very powerful, so I asked her to keep it a secret for now."

Cheng Yang nodded, very satisfied with Li Wanshan's actions, and said, "This matter must be handled with caution. We don't have any enemies now, but in this harsh end times, no one can guarantee what kind of opponents we will encounter in the future. Therefore, Liu Xiyue's attributes must be kept confidential."

Li Wanshan nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if a knife is put to my neck, I won't reveal this matter."

Cheng Yang smiled and said, "It's not that serious. You are a high-ranking official in Luofeng Village, and in the future, no one will dare to put a knife to your neck."

Li Wanshan smiled lightly, fully trusting Cheng Yang's words.

"By the way, which team is Liu Xiyue in?" Cheng Yang asked.

Li Wanshan said, "She hasn't been assigned yet, but I suggest that you personally take her. This will not only accelerate her growth but also keep her attributes confidential. Besides, no matter which combat team she is placed in, her abilities will likely be exposed."

Cheng Yang immediately agreed with Li Wanshan's suggestion, as he had the same idea in his heart.

"Should I go and call Liu Xiyue over?" Li Wanshan immediately asked.

Cheng Yang thought for a moment. This trip to Dongshan Village would inevitably involve battles, and letting Liu Xiyue get involved in combat early would be beneficial for her growth. He then asked Li Wanshan to arrange for someone to call Liu Xiyue.

A moment later, a female combatant in her thirties brought Liu Xiyue over. She came to Cheng Yang and said somewhat nervously, "Lord, is there anything you need?"

Cheng Yang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. You are now a combatant. This time, I'm calling you because we are about to set off for a newly occupied settlement, and I plan to bring you along so you can get used to fighting against mutated beasts."

Liu Xiyue clearly understood her situation. A determined look flashed across her beautiful face, and she said, "I will follow Lord's arrangements."

Cheng Yang nodded and didn't give Liu Xiyue any special treatment. He then led the large group out.

After leaving the gates of Luofeng Village, Cheng Yang called Liu Xiyue to his side and said, "Liu Xiyue, do you understand what your talent attributes mean?"

Liu Xiyue hesitated for a moment and then nodded, saying, "I know. I used to play games. My attributes look powerful, but if my attack power doesn't grow, this talent is worthless, and I can only kill small monsters."

Cheng Yang nodded, realizing that Liu Xiyue was not only beautiful but also thoughtful and insightful. In her previous life, she must have died young, otherwise she wouldn't have been unknown in the Xiangcheng area.

"From now on, you will stay by my side," Cheng Yang said directly.

If this were before the end times, if someone said this to Liu Xiyue, a large group of fans would have rushed to make Cheng Yang understand why flowers are so red. Even Liu Xiyue herself would have found it laughable. But now, in the end times, Liu Xiyue not only didn't find Cheng Yang's words laughable but was slightly moved.

Although Liu Xiyue wasn't sure if Cheng Yang had any other intentions, since entering Luofeng Village, she had a good impression of both the village and Cheng Yang. She felt that Cheng Yang was not that kind of person.
