Two hours later.
Sam sat down on the ground, exhausted. He was shirtless, revealing his scar filled body.
He looked at the huge tal block in front of him. It wasn’t as clean and neat like a block as before. Rather it is very much deford in weird shapes. Only the top of it was a bit properly curved in.
Sam looked at it and sighed before turning to Bhim’s block.
It was round, a perfect sphere.
"You do this everyday?"
Sam asked Bhim who stood like a flag pole with a grin on his face.
"Yeah, a few tis."
"What kind of tal is it?"
Sam asked observing the tal block.
"It is specially made by a friend of mine. The alloy that you were beating is specially made for Initiation cultivators. Of course, unless they reach the peak stage, they won’t even be able to make a dent on it. You actually did pretty good for the first ti."
Sam didn’t care much for the complent. In his opinion, if he couldn’t finish the task, that ans he didn’t do a good enough job.
The training was to beat the block into a sphere with a smooth surface. It is a good test for strength control. And the way Bhim did it, that guy’s control is beyond what Sam could exert right now.
The precision with purely his physical strength is impeccable.
Until evening, Sam spent his ti with the two brothers. For so reason, these powerhouses who could probably give all the Deans in the academy realm a run for their money were really interested in Sam’s company.
As they were chatting away most of the ti, the kids from different factions ca back with the silent bids.
They didn’t want to wait for the next day to co and gave it to Sam.
Originally Sam planned to wait for a while, but since they were in a hurry, he didn’t want to hold them back.
And it was easy because two factions ca forward with the portals. One with a green portal and the other with the blue portal. Sam was ecstatic.
"You guys are going first. I will finish them tomorrow. The rest will have to wait based on your order."
Sam then went back to the base.
Parth’s proposal was still lingering in his mind. Then he thought about the big even that is about to happen.
He just wanted to accept Parth’s proposal for the sake of participating in that big event.
But he still has ti. For the next couple of months, he can just focus on building the trading system, while conquering another patch of land.
Even before that...
The next day, Sam went to the territories to build the trading systems first.
The only he realized that the Hastin village is actually very small. When he inquired about they said that the three brothers, Parth, Yudhi and Bhim, all three qualified for their territory of their own, still didn’t choose the land.
All three combined only selected a 200 mile radius and almost all the people in the village were rescued by Yudhi and the rest in wilderness. They didn’t want to have any authority over people or resources.
But the other territories weren’t like that. The territory under Shin’s control. Called the Han nation, was an actual country. A small country, but a country nonetheless.
Shin’s family was the imperial family. However, he is the not the king, he put his older brother, who was a bit weaker than him on the throne, while Shin acted as a general.
The exchange center was built in their imperial capital.
Based on the size of the center Sam built in Hastin village, they arranged a house for him. It was just an empty building and had good energy in the surroundings.
Sam just built the system inside, after laying down the formation. He explained everything to them and told them to contact him if they need anything else.
He road around the city for the rest of the day and collected as much information as possible. In short he realized that the whole of Han nation is as complex and complicated as any kingdom with nobility.
If he wanted to take it down, he could actually do it with his usual ans of trickery and conspiracy.
He even found a few weak links that he could use.
Before he left, Sam went to the portal to check it out. Since the portal is going to be in his control, he wanted to mark the coordinates of it in case he wanted to use it before.
Shin kept so of his most trusted n to guard it and ensured that no one would dare access it.
Sam went to the next territory. This one is also huge, but it is more a mountain region that had several villages, and forests surrounding those mountains. Beasts are higher in number than the humans here.
Sam built the system there as well, gathered the info and left.
For the next couple of months, he didn’t interact much with the other factions, except for Hastin village. He t Parth a lot of tis, even though they didn’t have a formal acceptance for their teacher-student relationship, Parth didn’t hesitate to teach Sam.
anwhile, his team and beasts were hard at work in taking down another territory. Another one percent added. This ti, it took a lot more effort, because of how dense the creatures in there were. Surprisingly, even this ti, the spirits didn’t bother him, as soon as he entered the territory.
They just said that he was their friend and gave way to him.
Sam still didn’t get the reason and the spirits were really hard to communicate. But he did give them enough respect and leeway to keep a fair share of territory untouched for their survival.
As days passed, soon the next quarter was over. Everyone was ready for the next breakthrough, but they suppressed it, because the rewards will multiply if he is still in initiation.
With the territory multiplied, Sam’s reward points of course increased... this ti the announcent triggered a much bigger reaction than the first.
