Chapter 100
When Ye Bai arrived near the tailor shop, the spirited Dilina happened to walk out just then.
【You have completed the task 'True Weaver Clan'】
The long-awaited personal task notification chimed at that moment. Ye Bai glanced at Dilina, whose information was now fully visible to him as a villager of Bai Ye Village.
Dilina
Identity: Owner of the Mero City Tailor Shop, Member of the Weaving Society, Villager of Bai Ye Village
Level: 50
Profession: Master Tailor, Water Element Mage
Stamina: 150/150
...
Loyalty: 100
Satisfaction: 100
Indeed, her loyalty was at a perfect one hundred. Completing the personal task meant fulfilling Dilina's lifelong ambition. From a non-villager's perspective, it was akin to a bond of life and death, now transformed into loyalty since Dilina had joined the territory.
Looking at the profession section, the shining title of 'Master Tailor' made Ye Bai beam with joy.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Ye Bai was not only congratulating Dilina but also celebrating for himself.
With the bonus from the first lord, it was now almost guaranteed that every batch of refugees would include exceptional talents.
There was nothing more to say; it was time to leverage the special effects and vigorously develop the territory's weaving industry!
At that moment, Dilina approached with a beaming smile, gratefully accepting Ye Bai's congratulations. "Thanks to you, my lord, for bringing back the fabric. It has fulfilled a long-held dream of mine and helped me break through the bottleneck that has troubled me for so long."
At this point, Dilina asked curiously, "By the way, I noticed that the fabric you gave me isn’t ordinary Weaver Clan material. Even now, I haven’t fully figured it out. It should be a rare treasure among the Weaver Clan. What was it originally used for?"
"Uh... I'm not quite sure. I found it in a treasure vault," Ye Bai thought for a moment and decided not to mention that it was originally meant to be a mat for the Codex of Death.
Dilina nodded in immediate agreement. "Exactly! Such a treasure must have been carefully stored in a treasure vault."
Ye Bai replied, "...Right."
This piece of fabric was indeed worthy of being placed in the treasure vault of an ordinary racial power. What Dilina couldn’t imagine was that Ye Bai's trip had not been to an ordinary treasure vault, but to that of an ancient dragon...

**Chapter 72**
For the interstellar players, this day was originally just an ordinary day.
It had been nearly forty game days since the formal influx of players, and the mainstream player factions had reached level 20. Many quick movers had already completed their class transitions and begun further explorations of the myriad worlds.
Aside from starting in the wilderness, players aspiring to become lords had also left towns after their transitions, immediately beginning their land reclamation efforts.
Most of the first batch of lords were not solo players; they had the backing of civilized powers. Their land reclamation efforts were not done alone but involved gathering resources accumulated before reaching level 20, bringing along subordinates from reality to directly participate in the construction of their territories.
Under the Night River civilization, the Night River Village, coordinated by government departments, was welcoming a new day.
Huan Lu was the village chief of Night River Village and also the prime minister of the Night River civilization.
Compared to other civilizations that had started in the wilderness, Night River civilization, as one of the first to discover the myriad worlds on the Star Network, had a different understanding of the game world.
Rather than wasting research resources on wilderness starts, which only offered the advantage of establishing territories a bit earlier, they chose to take a more gradual approach. They directly abandoned the idea of refreshing wilderness starts and opted to learn from Bai Ye, waiting until after reaching level 20 to establish their territory.
With this in mind, Huan Lu opened the **Lord Leaderboard**, visible only to lords.
Every day, new territory names were being added to the list. In just the past day or two, the number of names on the leaderboard had skyrocketed from over a hundred to more than a thousand, increasing at a rate of several per second.
The universe was vast, and the Star Alliance had millions of civilizations, each with more than one lord. Soon, the leaderboard would become unmanageably long.
The newly added territory lords were not of much concern, but the top positions would always attract attention—especially the one in first place.
Bai Ye / Bai Ye Village / Territory Score: 14,976
Huan Lu glanced at the two names below it.
Zeta / Ruilan Village / Territory Score: 345
Ximo / Luofei Village / Territory Score: 267
What exactly was the situation with Bai Ye Village? Why was its territory score so high? To this day, it had become one of the mysteries of the interstellar realm.
As players reached level 20 and gained assistance from real-world personnel, Ruilan Village and Luofei Village's scores had begun to soar like rockets compared to before. Yet, combined, they still didn’t even reach the three-digit score of Bai Ye Village. There were even dedicated teams researching and analyzing this phenomenon, trying to uncover the reasons behind it.
The Night River civilization also had agents registered on Blue Star, and now that they had transitioned, they had begun to take action, scouring the wilderness for the location of Bai Ye Village. They were not the only civilization doing so.
As a result, in the Blue Star region, where there were already few interstellar players registered, there were now no serious players focusing on being lords. The mainstream was made up of adventurer-type players, most of whom had some connection to civilized powers. After all, if one wanted to manage a territory well, they would naturally choose their home planet.
Huan Lu found that Night River Village's score had now reached 85. They had established their territory in just two game days but had already achieved what Zeta had completed only on the 20th game day.
Of course, a significant portion of that score came from the bonus of their first trade route.
Moreover, starting with a class transition was much faster than starting in the wilderness.
Long before transitioning, personnel from various departments of the Night River civilization had begun collecting resources. Just like when Ye Bai returned from Mero City, they led supplies into the wilderness, finding suitable locations to claim land.
After the territory was established, most tasks like resource collection and food hunting didn’t require the villagers to participate. The villagers only needed to use resources to construct various buildings and work within them. Other relatively minor 'labor' tasks could be handled by the players.
A large number of obedient players acted as the external support for the interstellar civilizations, representing additional productivity and resources. The only limitations to their territory's rapid upgrade were population and productivity.
Because the number of players in the territory and their work efficiency were not counted as part of the territory's population or technological productivity, only the resources harvested by the players could be placed in the territory's warehouse.
At this rate, compared to the isolated Bai Ye, other civilizations would soon catch up, erasing the advantages of their counterpart. In the eyes of most civilizations in the Star Alliance, Bai Ye might be able to mobilize small forces from the Chaotic Star Sea, but it could never match the foundation of a civilization.
Though with over ten thousand points... as long as everyone was willing to work hard, they would catch up sooner or later!
Looking at the thriving territory, Huan Lu thought to himself.
Just then, the server-wide announcement rang out.
The entire interstellar community erupted, especially the more than a thousand new lords who had just claimed land.
—What the heck is a Master-level?! No territory has any junior professionals right now! How did Bai Ye cultivate them?!
Before this, the server announcement had only appeared three times, announcing the top three lord players who could gain titles that increased population attraction and the chances of special talents appearing. Now it was the fourth time, and it was again related to Bai Ye.
The shocked lord players simultaneously opened the Lord Leaderboard:
Bai Ye / Bai Ye Village / Territory Score: 19,056
It surged by over four thousand points, instantly making other lords realize the true value of 'Master-level professionals.'
It had been just over ten game days since the last suspected appearance of a Bai Ye character, and the news had not yet fully cooled down. Now, news about her surged back to the forefront of the universe.
【What exactly is a Master-level professional in terms of job levels?】
【Does Bai Ye have a special method for cultivating talents?】
...
【The Ancient Yin civilization is offering a high price to purchase strategies from Bai Ye.】
If this traffic could be monetized, Ye Bai estimated he would have been rich enough to rival the 'stars' by now.
