Zong Shen has fully met the learning requirements for this skill book, so there are no additional attribute requirements prompted.
What he lacks the most right now is combat skills.
He hasn’t yet met the attribute requirement for the skills [Heavy Slash] and [Demon Transformation] at the moment.
So, without hesitation, Zong Shen learned [Shield Charge].
This skill is both a teleportation skill and a control skill, quite useful, and practically an essential skill for someone like Zong Shen who plays with a shield and sword combo.
He chose to learn it directly.
The skill book instantly turned into a white light, merging into his body.
Suppressing the urge to try it on the spot, Zong Shen continued to check things out,
Apart from the Recruitment Scroll, what interested him most was that Communication Crystal Tower.
This item is of the same level as the previous [Moon Well], enabling the territory to have a certain degree of communication ability.
Communication means information flow, which is the key to accelerating territory development.
If information is blocked, development becomes stagnant.
From a long-term perspective, it holds profound significance.

Zong Shen slapped his hand, deciding to learn these two blueprints first.
It was already past three in the early morning.
Zong Shen yawned, and the exhaustion came over him like a tide.
Even with such a tightly packed daily schedule, he still felt overwhelmed, needing to explore, battle, and manage the entire territory’s construction and development.
He wished he could split a day into two.
Zong Shen quickly fell asleep with drowsiness, his last thought before sleeping was wanting to create a hero as soon as possible, who could help share some tasks. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn nοvelfire.net
The next day, at 9 a.m.
Zong Shen slowly opened his eyes.
Without curtains in the room, the sunlight outside was bright, filling the entire room with radiance.
Zong Shen rubbed his eyes and got out of bed.
"A new day has begun!"
He got up and started re-equipping his armor, slowly walked onto the terrace.
In the territory, the farmers, led by San Pang, had already begun their work.
Korby led the wolf cavalry in a jog around the territory while twelve Giant Wolves lazily lay on the grass.
Luna went to tend to the sapling of [Ancient Guardian].
Two mages were meditating with their eyes closed.
The two sisters, Mapple, stood on the courtyard wall, gazing into the distance.
Lensa Shattered Claw gently stroked the ground, seemingly sensing something.
Dwarf Uncle still lazily sat outside the blacksmith shop dozing off.
The entire territory was a scene of harmony and tranquility.
Zong Shen took out a wooden bucket, washed his face and rinsed his mouth with clean water.
He scratched his neck, sniffed his collar.
A pungent smell hit him straight in the face.
Zong Shen shook his head, took a deep breath.
This smell... has fermented...
"Must bathe tonight, not bathing is inhumane!"
Zong Shen silently thought.
Then he turned and left the terrace, went downstairs, and walked out of the Lord’s Small Tower.
He came to the [Moon God Well] nearby, where more than 400 ml of Moon God Spring Water had been produced.
Zong Shen directly extracted it into the wooden bucket for unified storage.
Then, he went to the [Market] and checked last night’s sales before sleeping.
All three items had been sold.
He received twenty Basic Elemental Crystals and ten Basic Wood Runes.
Then he listed another three items.
One exchange for twenty Basic Elemental Crystals, one for five Basic Wood Runes, and another for 200 wood, 80 iron, 50 stone, and 50 hemp.
After finishing all this, Zong Shen called San Pang.
"San Pang, get some quick-witted farmers here!"
San Pang, who was not far away, holding an iron pickaxe and vigorously harvesting stones, heard his call. He quickly called a few farmers working nearby and jogged over to Zong Shen.
Zong Shen, with a thought, opened [Building], selected [Communication Crystal Tower], and placed it inside the courtyard, by the wall.
A farmer stepped forward to start construction.
Then, Zong Shen took out a High-level Magic Pattern Stone, decomposed it into 100 Basic Magic Pattern Stones.
He selected [Vitality Totem] and also placed it in the courtyard, asking a farmer to start building it.
He wasn’t done yet; he upgraded the blacksmith shop to Tier Two, and another farmer started hammering away.
Another task started a fresh round of construction.
In addition, he was planning to upgrade the stable, having previously acquired a Stable Construction Map.
