Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 6 - 6: The Counterattack of the Anonymous Boss_1
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Leo Ray sent a message to the Chat Channel: "Since food is scarce for everyone, I've decided to distribute the final 100 units of meat I have left."
In truth, Leo Ray’s primary motivation for this gesture was his own deficiency of 200 units of stone.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Chat Channel—which currently had tens of thousands of active users—surged to a fever pitch upon seeing Leo Ray. As the individual who had achieved the world's first level 2 Lord's Mansion, his presence was magnetic.
"Look at that glowing golden ID and that magnificent name! Brothers, we actually did it! Master Leo has graced our channel!"
"Oh my god! It really is Master Leo in the flesh! I'm taking a screenshot to remember this moment, haha!"
"Master Leo, I've just started the very first Master Leo Fan Club. Please give us a mention!"
"Brother Leo, notice me! If you had a girlfriend like me, you'd never want to leave the house at night. Check the attachment in my private message (heart)!"
"Forget that 'green tea' girl above me! I'm certain Brother Leo likes my style better. (Sultry Red Lips) (High Heels) (Blowing a Kiss)."
"By the way, where is that guy who swore he'd do an upside-down Olly? I've got my snacks and seat ready—when are you performing? Hahaha!"
While the Chat Channel was in an uproar, Leo Ray had already finalized the details of his new trade.
[Trader: Leo Ray]
[Trade Item: 100 portions of beef (1 portion per trade, 0.5kg per portion)]
[Required Item: Stone (20 units)]
"Just as I thought, he's putting up another 100 portions of beef! Master Leo is so generous! I'm truly moved!"
"This is the first time I've felt lucky to have a territory on a barren cliff full of rocks! Bigshot, thank you for the meat!"
"I didn't have any stone, but I quickly traded some wood for 20 units and managed to snag a portion! This is amazing!"
"Dammit! I listed my stone for sale and someone swapped it for wood before I could even cancel the order! So it was you! Is this the legendary hand speed of being single for twenty years? Unbelievable!"
"My apologies, I've been single for forty years—double the speed means double the joy, hahaha!"
The moment the listing went live, a flood of transaction notifications began scrolling across Leo Ray’s vision like a rapid screen-saver.
In a matter of seconds, every one of the 100 beef portions had been traded away.
Consequently, he successfully gathered 2000 units of stone.
After transferring the stone into his inventory, Leo Ray headed back to his wooden cabin.
With the necessary materials secured, it was time for his triple-play: upgrading the cabin, triggering the global broadcast, and collecting the rewards!
"Upgrade!"
As he tapped the upgrade button on the Lord's Mansion interface, a shimmering, multicolored light curtain descended, completely masking the structure.
Simultaneously, the sounds of construction and system notifications echoed in his ears.
[Wood x6000, Thatch x3000, Stone x1500 have been consumed]
[Lord's Mansion Lv2 is currently upgrading. Please stand by...]
The process took significantly longer this time around.
Eventually, the notification he was waiting for appeared.
[Congratulations! Your Lord's Mansion has reached Lv: 3!]
When the glow finally dissipated, Leo Ray was delighted to see that the Mansion had grown much larger and taller.
Furthermore, the base of the wooden building had been replaced with a stone foundation, giving it a much more solid appearance.
This development immediately eased Leo Ray's fears about Taylor accidentally crushing the house!
Stepping inside his Lord's Mansion with excitement, Leo Ray conducted a thorough inspection, a satisfied grin spreading across his face.
The interior had been redesigned into a multi-level layout.
The bedroom was now located on the more secure second floor, which also featured a new study.
On the ground floor, the reception hall had been expanded, and the space where the bedroom used to be was now a dedicated office.
A semi-open dining area had also been added between the rooms.
"Not bad at all. It's finally starting to look like a proper Lord's Mansion!"
Just as the thought crossed his mind, the system prompt rang out again.
[Honorable Lord, congratulations! You are the first person in the world to attain a Level 3 Mansion. A global broadcast will begin shortly. Do you wish to reveal your name?]
"Keep it hidden!"
Sticking to his previous strategy, Leo Ray answered without a moment's pause.
Immediately, every lord in existence heard the second announcement.
[Congratulations to the Anonymous Lord for being the world's first to upgrade to a Level 3 Lord's Mansion! Reward: One Tier 3 random equipment and one Tier 3 random equipment blueprint!]
Given Leo Ray’s earlier interactions, the lords in his specific region were naturally ecstatic.
However, lords from other nations could only stare at their respective chat channels in a state of shock and disbelief.
Even though the announcement was anonymous, the leader’s home country was still displayed at the start!
[A Foreign Channel]
"Summer Realm! It's the Summer Realm again! Our Robe Realm refuses to accept this!"
"To the person above, why don't you go get a world first yourself then?"
"Oh! Hello from the Bread Federation! Summer Realm is number one! I love the Summer Realm!"
"How cold is the long winter, how cold is the long winter..."
"Wait, isn't this the Beauty Realm's channel? Why are there so many strange people here?"
"Bullshit! This is clearly the Robe Realm's chat!"
"Stop arguing. It seems our situation is unique. What is actually happening?"
"I remember now! Before we were transported, I think we were all on the same cruise ship at sea..."
"What? Does that mean everyone on the ship is treated as being from the same country during the transition?"
"???"
"It's freezing! I'm stuck playing with mud in the Northeast..."
...
While others had their own stories to tell, the "Anonymous Bigshot" who first reached a Level 3 Mansion once again held the world's attention.
Leo Ray gave a small smile and began to review his prizes.
[Congratulations! You have obtained a 'Tier 3 Weapon: Earth Double-handed Sword'!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained a 'Tier 3 Weapon Blueprint: Light Crystal Wand'!]
He proceeded to upgrade them instantly.
[Congratulations! You have triggered a lucky crit! Your 'Tier 3 Weapon: Earth Double-handed Sword' has evolved into a 'Tier 5 Weapon: Dragon Slash Sword'!]
[Congratulations! Your 'Tier 3 Weapon Blueprint: Light Crystal Wand' has evolved into a 'Tier 4 Weapon Blueprint: Angel's Wand'!]
"What an incredible crit! It jumped straight to a Tier 5 two-handed sword? I never thought I'd see the day my luck turned around!"
Looking at the massive sword—which was as tall as a man and weighed several hundred pounds—Leo Ray’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
The blade was a deep blood-red and appeared incredibly sharp.
As a breeze passed over it, a soft, low hum emanated from the metal.
With a legendary weapon like this, there was no doubt that a skilled user could slice an airplane in half in a single stroke!
Eagerly, Leo Ray opened the stats window for the two-handed sword.
