Chapter 23: Subordinate Territory and Mission Plan (Please read!)
"Going to a wilderness area alone? Do you want to reconsider it?"

The officer at the checkpoint took one look at the tall, sturdy young man in front of him with a streamlined physique like a cheetah, and couldn't help but ask again.

"No need, I'm alone." Chu Liang said lightly.

The officer looked at the other party with helplessness on his face, shook his head and stopped talking.

Although a high-level warrior-level warrior's strength is not low, it is quite dangerous for him to go into the wilderness alone, even if it is just to go to a small town where there are very few beast general-level monsters.

"Another hot-headed young man." The officer sighed inwardly.

The warrior teams resting around the supply base saw Chu Liang's back as he went into the wilderness alone. Some sneered, some admired, some pitied, and some felt sorry.
Every year, these lone travelers appear in wilderness areas, but most of them end up dying tragically in the mouths of monsters, and even their bodies are never found.

Only a very few strong and lucky ones can come back alive.

"I hope this kid has better luck." The two-meter-tall muscular man said slowly while smoking and exhaling.

"I think he's dead. He's in his twenties and he's probably only been to the wilderness a few times." A thin middle-aged man at the side sneered.

The muscular man glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Pfft!

A psychedelic afterimage flashed by, and the sound of flesh being torn apart came from the street.

In just one minute, more than a dozen shadow cats were lying on the ground.

Chu Liang calmly put the corpses of the shadow cats into the system space, then his figure flashed and disappeared on the street.

Soon, dozens or even hundreds of monsters, attracted by the sound of battle and the smell of blood, swarmed in, only to see a deserted, ruined street with only a few drops of scarlet blood left.

On the other side, on another street hundreds of meters away, Chu Liang looked at the group of unicorn wild boars wandering in front of him, and his calm expression finally revealed a smile.

The One-Horned Boar is a high-level Beast Soldier Pig monster that is stronger than the Iron-Haired Boar.

"There are so many big guys, and their ranks are not low. They have at least ten energy points."

If Chu Liang was still at the level of a junior general, he would have no choice but to run away when facing this group of at least ten unicorn wild boars. But now, his physical fitness is very close to that of a mid-level general.

The strength is no longer the same.

As the sword flashed, the monsters roared and went crazy, and a bloody fight began!

In a blink of an eye, Chu Liang had been in the wild for three days.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Chu Liang, carrying a huge backpack as tall as a person and holding a sword in his left hand, slowly walked from the wilderness area not far from the supply base.

Apart from his slightly messy hair, he looked almost the same as before he left, and his expression was still calm.

The officer sitting next to the checkpoint was stunned for a few seconds after seeing Chu Liang's appearance. Then he saw the exaggerated large backpack on Chu Liang's back. After coming to his senses, he was amazed and said with emotion,

"Young people today really can't be underestimated."

Being able to stay in the wilderness area alone for three days and hunt a backpack full of monster materials, even if they are all beast soldier-level materials, this strength is at least close to the general level, and he even possesses the strength of a general!

From February 2013, 2 to January 14, 2023, it is the tenth year after the Great Nirvana. During the Great Nirvana period, society collapsed, monsters were rampant, the RR virus was raging, and the entire earth was like the end of the world.

During this period of nearly ten years, many warriors as brilliant as the blazing sun were born.

For example, in 2018, Dong Nanbiao, who single-handedly killed a medium-level lord-level monster called "Tiger-headed Monster Dragon" on the banks of the Yangtze River, rescued hundreds of thousands of civilians, and successfully transferred hundreds of thousands of civilians to the Jiangnan base, died heroically at the age of 39. He was posthumously awarded the four-star hero medal by the country.

At that time, the Great Nirvana Evolution had lasted less than six years.

In less than six years, he evolved from an ordinary man in his thirties to a war god-level powerhouse who could kill mid-level lord-level monsters. He is definitely a genius among geniuses!
But in this apocalyptic environment, many such geniuses were forced to emerge.

The most famous and perverted ones are Hong and Lei Shen. In 17, they broke through one after another and became the first and second invincible strongmen on earth who surpassed the god of war level.

Behind the two of them, there are also many war god-level strongmen with outstanding talents and abilities chasing after them.

As of now in 2023, the number of war gods in the world has reached nearly one thousand, and there are twelve invincible strongmen who surpass the war gods.

Chu Liang returned to the supply base and rested for half a day to replenish his energy and get rid of the fatigue caused by three days of non-stop fighting in the wilderness. Then he drove the jeep off-road vehicle back to Qingyuan Mountain.

During this period, such a big commotion attracted a lone intermediate beast soldier-level shadow cat monster, which was easily killed by Chu Liang, who was better than nothing, and stored in the system space.

In the open space in the center of Qingyuan Mountain, in the dilapidated hotel.

Chu Liang waved his hand, and hundreds of monsters hunted over the past three days fell to the ground, piling up into a mountain of flesh in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

"Transformation." Chu Liang had a thought.

This monster meat mountain was immediately swallowed up by the land like flowing water. It looked quite strange.

Chu Liang pulled out the family panel and took a look at the energy of the head of the family.

[Current family energy storage: 160.6 points]

"That's more than enough." Chu Liang nodded with satisfaction.

In the past, when I entered the wilderness area with the King Snake Squad and others, I had to be picky about the monsters. I would not kill those that were too low in level. After all, I would only earn a few tens of thousands of dollars after all the effort, and the capacity of the backpack was limited. Therefore, I would only take action on at least mid- to high-level beast soldiers, and I would mostly choose monsters whose materials were more valuable.

But for Chu Liang now, he will not be picky. In his eyes, all monsters can be converted into energy, and with the system space, he will not say that he cannot let go.

If it wasn't inconvenient to come back with an empty backpack for fear of attracting other people's attention, Chu Liang would have been too lazy to carry a large backpack full of monster materials. Wouldn't it be much easier to just put them in the system space?

After taking a last look at this once prosperous now dilapidated scenic spot, Chu Liang turned around and left without any lingering feelings.

Drive towards Yangzhou City.

It is naturally good that the family's core territory can double the effect of cultivation.

But the happiness reward of staying with your wife is better than that of the core territory.

Still easy.

"When we are able to live peacefully in the wild, it won't be too late to move here."

In the car, Chu Liang thought calmly.

And this day may not be far away.

Fifteen kilometers, with Chu Liang driving passionately, it took less than a minute to reach Yangzhou City.

As soon as I returned to Tiandi Community, my villa.

Chu Liang stood in the middle of the hall on the third floor that had been converted into a training room, and silently chanted "transformed into a subsidiary territory".

The faint white light that only Chu Liang could see spread out around him with him as the center.

The area covered by the white light was exactly one hundred square meters, no more, no less.

"One hundred square meters is enough. The remaining energy may be used later." Chu Liang thought secretly.

He had already planned to stay in the base city and focus on improving his strength until his strength reached the level of a god of war.

At the same time, complete those tasks.

The main quest requires the Chu family to become the number one family on Earth. This quest is a bit difficult for Chu Liang now. If we go by strength, the family of the world's number one strong man, 'Hong', must be the number one family in the world.

Hong has children, he is not alone, and he also owns the "huge industry" of the Extreme Martial Arts School which is considered the world's number one force, so it is naturally considered a family.

A family with a small number of members is still a family.

"Whether it is to surpass Hong in strength or to establish a force more powerful than the Extreme Martial Arts School, it cannot be achieved in a short time." Chu Liang shook his head.

He was eyeing the side quests.

The first side quest is to marry a female general-level warrior, which will be easy to accomplish once his strength is raised to the god of war level.

Side quest two: cripple or kill Chen Tianlin, the fifth son of the Chen family. This is a bit tricky.

Chu Liang could kill Chen Tianlin with just one slap given his strength, but the power behind him would still be a little bit fearful even if Chu Liang became a god of war.

The Chen family alone has at least one war god-level warrior, and is backed by the huge power of the HR underground alliance. They also have tentacles of power and authority that penetrate into various fields and industries in Jiangnan Base City.

Whether choosing to abolish or kill Chen Tianlin, there will be great resistance.

This kind of resistance can only be withstood without any scruples if it reaches planetary level.

After some analysis, side quest three is actually the easiest.

Chu Liang looked at side quest three again.

[Current side quest 3: Your former flirt Lu Xue is disappointed with your comfortable life and wants to use her marriage as a way of oppression to see if you like her. - As the head of the Chu family, you are angry at the lowly temptations of women. You teach Lu Xue a lesson and let her recognize her own status.]

[Reward for completing side quest 3: Yin-Yang Harmony Technique (one-star)]

"It seems that there are only three days left before Lu Xue's wedding." Chu Liang touched his chin and pondered.

But then again, he wasn't angry.
