It looked like he’d need to find a few more administrative-type heroes to help Wilus share some of the pressure.

Wilus heard Ji Chen’s footsteps and turned to greet him, “My Lord, are you awake?”

Ji Chen nodded and took a seat at the head of the long table.

Seeing Wilus standing like this, he smiled and said, “Please, have a seat.”

Wilus hesitated for a moment and replied, “There’s a distinction between master and servant, my lord. I think it’s better if I stand while reporting.”

Ji Chen responded, “I heard from the maid that you’ve been standing here all morning. You must be tired. If I wear you out, I won’t be able to find a second person to help manage the territory.”

“Thank you for your generosity, my lord.” With some hesitation, Wilus finally sat down in the chair, but only occupied half of it.

In terms of loyalty and respect, this middle-aged man was undoubtedly among the foremost in the Ocean Crown.

“My Lord, during your absence…” After sitting down, Wilus began to report on the state of the territory.

Thanks to the coordination of this rare-tier administrative hero, various resources and manpower were able to flow and be utilized with relatively high efficiency during this time. The Ocean Crown had made significant progress.

Agriculture and industry both experienced growth, and a new workshop was added to the underground lizardmen world. The cultivation of sea rice and other crops proceeded smoothly…

The construction of the 7-star hero fountain had already begun and was now two-thirds complete. It was expected to be finished this week, which would increase the chances of producing heroes for the Ocean Crown.

As for the grape cultivation, which Ji Chen valued highly, the first batch had been harvested in the past two days. While the quality of the grapes did not meet the expected level, they were of relatively high quality. A few adjustments in the next planting cycle would likely yield grapes suitable for producing high-quality wine in the renowned mainland.

“Leysha mentioned that she needs more skilled hands, preferably those with experience in cultivation and winemaking.”

Ji Chen smiled and said, “This time, 1 happened to obtain a legendary-tier Druid hero summoning voucher during my journey. I believe it can be of help to young Leysha.”

Wilus exclaimed, “That’s fantastic! 1 heard that Druids are extremely skilled in cultivating plants like elves. They might even be able to cultivate sea rice.”

“Very well.”

With that, Ji Chen wasted no time and took out the voucher, immediately putting it to use.

“Ding- You have used a legendary-level Druid hero summoning voucher, but the recipient does not respond to your summons.”

Such a prompt left Ji Chen somewhat stunned, followed by a wry smile.

Oh, he could do something like this?

Well, it seems that summoning this Druid hero might require a little extra effort.

Ji Chen tried again, this time releasing an epic-level profession aura and the aura of the ocean’s power.

This time, the voucher trembled slightly and emitted a dazzling green light. Accompanied by a beam of light that pierced through the roof, an elf with a slender figure appeared before his eyes.

This elf had an extremely handsome appearance, with a somewhat androgynous quality to his aura. He wore simple clothing and held a staff adorned with a green gem.

His green hair, entwined with vine-like bands, was striking but not gaudy, exuding a vibrant and lively feeling that made people feel comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

Well, it seemed that elves didn’t have ugly men or women after all.

While Ji Chen observed, the legendary-tier Druid also looked him over.

After a moment, as if satisfied, he nodded.

Very well. Although the one who summoned him was a human, at least he had a decent appearance and his strength was passable, not tarnishing the name of this legendary-tier Druid.

He gracefully performed an elegant gesture and spoke with a unique elven accent, “Legendary-tier Druid, Martino responds to your summons.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone, “Martino, welcome to the Ocean Crown. I am Ji Chen, the lord of this territory.”

“Ocean Crown? It seems, my lord, that you have ambitions as vast as the ocean. Although I do not possess formidable combat abilities, 1 am willing to contribute my expertise to help you achieve greatness.” Martino smiled.

Ji Chen laughed heartily, “Excellent! With your presence, Martino, 1 am like a tiger with wings.”

“Perfect, there is a task that requires your assistance. The Ocean Crown cultivates sea rice and grapes for winemaking. This is related to our food supply and the export of alcoholic beverages, and we need your expertise.”

Martino’s face brimmed with confidence as he once again bowed. “I am willing to serve you.”

If there was one thing he could guarantee, it was that when it came to crop cultivation and nurturing, Druids were among the foremost experts.

Seeing this, Ji Chen nodded in agreement. With the help of this legendary-tier Druid, he believed there would soon be significant breakthroughs in agriculture.

Without further delay, Martino immediately went to inspect the areas dedicated to sea rice and grape cultivation.

Ji Chen then came back to his senses and took out the blueprint of the Heraklion Temple, handing it to Wilus.

“Coordinate the resources and commence construction as soon as possible.”

Wilus looked at the spread-out blueprint on the table, examined it closely, and his expression changed slightly. “My Lord, this wonder blueprint requires an enormous amount of resources, and we do not have such a massive stockpile at the moment.

Our current stone reserves are approximately 1.2 million units, rare resources are just below 7 million units, and if we include the crystals you brought back, we have enough, totaling 66,500 units..”
