LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 1 Characteristics Of Mythical-Level Lords!
The green peaks are vast and verdant, the sky is blue and calm.
Lin Mo stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the lush mountainous area, his eyes shining with brilliance.
"To be assigned to a forested area at the beginning, it's like a lucky start from heaven, isn't it?"
He murmured softly, recalling the rules laid down by the various worlds he had learned about in high school.
This is the world of the various realms, a world where the Myriad Races coexist and the strong are revered.
As long as the people of the Blue Star reach the age of eighteen, they can be sent to this world and begin their life as a lord.
Becoming a lord gives you supreme power. By developing your territory and conquering the Myriad Races, you can reach the pinnacle of life through force.
Forget about eternal life, a beautiful country, or ruling over the Myriad Races...
As long as your fist is strong enough, everything can be achieved!
And the starting point of his birthplace is simply perfect. The trees, streams, and mountains mean that Lin Mo will not worry about any basic resources at the beginning.
This also means that he will start higher than the majority of new lords.
[Ding, detecting that you have entered the world of the various realms.]
[Currently awakening your racial talent... Please wait.]
Just as Lin Mo was happy about his starting territory...
The will of the various realms appeared in his mind.
"I wonder what grade talent I will awaken."
Lin Mo couldn't help but look forward to it.
In this world of the various realms, territory characteristics, unit types, equipment weapons, and wild boss monsters are all divided into grades.
From bottom to top, they can be divided into: Black Iron, Azure Bronze, White Silver, Yellow Gold, Legendary, Epic, Mythical.
The three random elements for new lords at the beginning are talents, bloodlines, and territory characteristics.
Each one is related to the upper limit of a lord's future growth, but it can only rely on fate and will not be affected by external factors.
But with his starting territory being so auspicious, it seems that these three elements won't be lacking either.
[Ding! You have awakened the Azure Bronze-grade racial talent - Financial Expert!]
The will of the various realms appeared in Lin Mo's mind again, but this made his originally good mood gradually change.
Financial Expert...
[Talent Introduction: You will be a wise lord who is good at budgeting. No matter what you do, you can save resources for your territory or earn more resources.]
Sigh.
Lin Mo let out a heavy sigh.
In addition to simple level divisions, lord talents also have three, six, and nine levels within the same grade. The upper limit of talent grade also determines the long-term path of a lord.
Talents like enhanced attack, enhanced values, or even transformation-type talents are considered upper-middle grade talents.
As for talents like his, which are more inclined towards non-combat administrative roles, they are all lower-grade talents.
Even his Financial Expert talent, despite being Azure Bronze-grade, is not as good as some combat-oriented Black Iron-grade talents.
New lords rely on their development speed, and this Financial Expert talent clearly only shows its value in the late stage.
It's like starting with one less talent than others...
Could it be that because his birthplace is too good, he will become a non-player character later?
No, this must be a coincidence. Even without the support of talents, there are still bloodlines and territory characteristics.
The bloodline talent must also enhance the lord's attack! It can't be worse.
[Ding! You have awakened the White Silver-grade bloodline talent - Patriarch of the Plant Race!]
Just as Lin Mo was comforting himself in his heart, the voice of the will of the various realms sounded in his mind.
After hearing that his talent was Patriarch of the Plant Race, his face turned black, almost rolling his eyes.
What the hell is this! Plants?
[Talent Introduction: Those who advocate the belief in green will gain the trust of plants. You will become a lord of the plant race.]
A lord of the plant race!
In the world of the various realms, there are tens of thousands of races, such as half-beasts, goblins, holy dragons, angels, and so on.
And being a lord of the plant race means summoning plant-type units for battle. Generally speaking, their combat power is lower than that of normal farming.
(Note: The translation provided is a direct translation and may not capture the full meaning or nuances of the original text.)
In addition to this, there is a major drawback, which is the long development cycle. A normal plant lord may only need one to two years to develop their territory to the level of a normal human lord at the White Silver rank. However, a plant lord requires nearly ten times or even a hundred times the development time of a human lord.
In this world full of various crises, slow development speed is akin to slow suicide. Lin Mo may even lose the qualification to become a true lord because of this. If he is eliminated as a result, it would be fortunate for him to return to Blue Star. But if he encounters unexpected events, such as being annihilated by wild monsters in the mountains and forests, or being discovered and invaded by lords from other countries, then Lin Mo's only fate would be death.
And this plant lord is the longest-lived and has the longest development cycle among all races. If Lin Mo were born in a territory suitable for plant lords to adapt and develop, there might still be hope for him. But as a human, how could he go to such a place in the early stages?
On the other hand, the territories where humans are born have a fast development pace for all lords, and the surroundings are full of dangers. If this human-turned-plant lord were to start developing in such a place, it is feared that the territory would be destroyed by invading monsters before the buildings are even constructed.
"What the hell is this? How can I play like this?" Lin Mo forcefully exhaled, trying to calm his restless heart and suppress his anger. Anyone who encounters such a desperate situation would inevitably want to curse a few times.
"Ding ding ding, you have new messages, please check them." Suddenly, a flashing exclamation mark appeared in his field of vision. He opened it with his mind.
"Hey hey hey, how are you guys doing? Is your birthplace okay? I was born in the plains and awakened [Precise Strike] and [Wind of Recovery]. I'm pretty solid in the early stages."
"Wow, how lucky are you? Why was I born in this godforsaken desert where it's so hot it can kill people? Fortunately, my talents are [Power Source] and [Restless Heart], just a little worse than you."
"Hmm? Everyone's here, where's the squad leader? Why isn't the squad leader speaking? Tag - Lin Mo, squad leader, how are you doing? We're waiting for you to lead us."
"Stop making noise, the squad leader is the top student among top students, always leaving the second place far behind in every simulated exam. Can the squad leader's start be any worse?"
Lin Mo: Tag - Talents [Financial Expert] [Patriarch of the Plant Race].
"..."
"......"
Lin Mo silently showcased his talent in the class chat channel.
In return, there was silence from everyone.
After a while.
"Haha... Uh, Class Monitor, you're amazing. With your IQ of 300, those two inferior talents are nothing compared to how you use them like a god."
"Indeed, Class Monitor, don't be discouraged. The territory characteristics haven't even appeared yet, so there's still room for everything to turn around."
Lin Mo's reputation in the class has always been excellent, and now he revealed his own terrible talent.
The class group was filled with words of comfort for Lin Mo.
They urged him to stay strong, as long as the territory characteristics didn't appear, there was still hope.
But how could Lin Mo not know that unless a Legendary-level characteristic of a lord appeared, even the Emperor himself couldn't save his short-lived lordship.
"Lin Mo: Don't worry about me, I was born in the mountains, so there won't be any problems in the early stages."
Lin Mo didn't want his classmates to worry, so he sent this message.
[Ding, you have awakened the Mythical-level territory characteristic - Immortal Spirit World Transformation (MythicalMAX)!]
A gentle breeze blew, brushing Lin Mo's forehead.
He stood still for a long time without making a sound. After a while, Lin Mo silently clenched his fist.
In his heart, he murmured: Got it!
[Characteristic Introduction: The distant Divine Kingdom has extended an olive branch to you, granting you full control over the Mythical-level territory, and the achievement of the supreme lord is within reach.]
