“The struggle for supremacy as the Lord of All Races?”
Regaining his senses, Zhou Zhou stood up and surveyed his new environment.
His vision was met by a boundless yellow desert that reached toward the distant horizon.
A modest wooden dwelling stood behind him, and next to it was a shimmering white portal of light reaching over three meters in height.
A scorching wind whipped against Zhou Zhou’s skin, dusting his face with sand.
“Competing to be the Lord of All Races... I suppose this is my starting territory.”
“It’s nothing but a desert... Finding even a drop of water here will be a challenge, won't it?” Zhou Zhou’s face darkened slightly.
A Desert Territory!
For a Lord requiring resources for rapid growth, this was undeniably a disastrous beginning.
Suddenly, a shimmering golden virtual interface manifested before him.
[Honorable Lord!]
[You are granted seven days of Novice Protection as a new Lord!]
[During this one-week period, a Novice Lord Protection Barrier will envelope your lands, shielding your territory from hostile Lords and external monsters!]
[Once the seven days conclude, the creatures of the Scarlet Fog will launch an invasion as part of your Novice Lord Test!]
[Please focus on developing your territory during this week to survive the Novice Lord Test. Failure will result in the total destruction of both you and your lands!]
As soon as Zhou Zhou finished reading, a translucent, box-shaped white barrier materialized above, shielding his domain.
“This protection only lasts for seven days!”
“I have to grow strong enough to repel those monsters within a week, or I’m dead!” He thought, his expression turning solemn.
“First, I need to check my starting assets.” Zhou Zhou turned his attention to the wooden house behind him.
The golden screen flickered with information.
[Building Name: The Lord’s Wooden House]
[Territory Level: Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade]
[Building Effect: The primary residence for the Lord. It also serves as the storage site for the Territory Token.]
[Upgrade Requirements: 200 units of wood, 200 units of fine sand, 200 units of metal, 200 units of stone, 100 units of Black Iron-Tier Mist Core!]
[Territory Structures: Lord’s Wooden House (Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade), Gate of Summoning (Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade)]
[Lord Talent: 100% Drop Rate (Legendary)]
[100% Drop Rate: You are granted the ability to see the drop rates of enemy spoils. When harvesting a corpse, there is a 100% probability of obtaining every possible item in the loot pool.]
“I actually managed to awaken a Legendary-Tier Lord Talent! A 100% drop rate is just broken, isn't it?!” Zhou Zhou was filled with sudden joy.
As a transmigrator who had spent two previous lives as a perfectly ordinary man with no luck to speak of, he hadn't expected his fortune to flip so drastically on the High Continent!
Once he regained his composure, he approached the Gate of Summoning.
As Zhou Zhou looked at the glowing white portal, the golden interface updated once more.
[Building Name: Gate of Summoning]
[Construction Level: Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade]
[Building Effect: Five natives of the High Continent can be summoned daily to serve as the Lord's subjects. There is a possibility of summoning specialized professionals.]
[Upgrade Requirements: 100 units of wood, 100 units of sand, 100 units of sand metal, 100 units of stone, 50 Black Iron-Tier Mist Core!]
[Prompt: Would you like to perform a summons now?]
“Yes!”
Zhou Zhou answered without hesitation.
Since he lacked personal combat prowess, he would depend entirely on these subjects to survive the monster attack in seven days.
Immediately, the Gate of Summoning erupted with brilliant white light, signaling the arrival of five individuals.
“Greetings, my Lord!”
Upon stepping through and seeing Zhou Zhou, the five newcomers promptly dropped to their knees in a show of respect.
“You may rise,” Zhou Zhou commanded.
“We thank you, my Lord!”
Zhou Zhou inspected them closely once they were on their feet.
The group consisted of three men and two women. Among them was a man and woman who were Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade Chefs; they appeared to be a married couple. Two of the other men were ordinary laborers without specialized professions.
The final woman, however, was an archer—the sole combat professional in the group. She was clad in standard military armor, with a regulation bow and quiver strapped to her back and a short sword hanging at her hip. Her face was stern, and her gaze was sharp.
Her status panel became visible.

[Strength Level: Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade]

“A soldier-type subject!”
Zhou Zhou gave a satisfied nod. This was the actual combat strength he needed to face the fog monsters and rival Lords!
“My name is Zhou Zhou!”
“I welcome you to my territory!”
“Now that you are my subjects under my protection, I expect you to follow my commands and serve with loyalty.”
“We are surrounded by monsters. We cannot afford internal strife while facing such threats from the outside. Are you prepared to fight for our collective survival?”
“We are!” the five replied in unison.
Zhou Zhou nodded in approval.
Suddenly—
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
The sound of heavy impacts echoed from nearby, accompanied by sharp hissing noises.
The group's expressions shifted instantly.
“Let’s go!”
“Let's see what's happening!”
Knowing he was safe behind the novice protection barrier, Zhou Zhou stayed calm and led his subjects toward the noise.
A lizard with yellowish skin and blood-red eyes was throwing itself against the barrier, desperately trying to break through.
Upon spotting Zhou Zhou and his group, the creature let out a bloodthirsty roar, its eyes filled with rage.
“A Scarlet Fog Monster!”
Bai Yi’s face grew grim. She immediately drew her bow, readying herself to strike.
Zhou Zhou focused his gaze on the creature.
A monster data window appeared.
[Monster Name: Desert Fog Lizard]
[Strength Level: Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade]
[Monster Description: A creature of the Blazing Sun Desert, spawned from the scarlet fog. It is a bloodthirsty beast that seeks to slaughter every living thing it encounters.]
