What Noan said was the truth; he really didn''t care what people said or that they looked down on him as just a Rank F Landlord.

    Anyway, he now possesses SSS rank talent; no matter how much people scold him, he doesn''t care.

    On the contrary, the less people know about his SSS rank talent, the better.

    Like Negon, he was so jealous that he hired thugs to beat him to death when he found out that Noan had become a lord. But in Negon''s eyes, he was just a Rank F lord.

    If people were to know about the existence of the SSS rank talent he possessed, many people would be willing to kill him immediately.

    Therefore, for his own safety, he needed to keep this secret.

    What he needs is time.

    Noan believes that as long as he has enough time to develop, in the future, even if people discover this secret, he will have enough ability to defend himself.

    Seeing that Noan really didn''t care, Lylia breathed a sigh of relief.

    Her expression made Noan feel confused; after all, she was the most beautiful flower in this academy, the dream goddess of every boy. Why did she feel worried that he would be angry?

    Lylia regained her mischievous expression, took out her phone, and said with a smile: "Let''s exchange contacts."

    "Hmm?!" Noan asked in confusion: "For what?"

    "Ah! You are really arrogant." Lylia pouted: "Other men want to talk to me, but I am too lazy to pay attention to them."

    "And you, I am asking for your phone number, but you are so cautious as if I want to eat you."

    Noan laughed: "You are so funny."

    Lylia shook the phone in front of Noan : "Moreover, in our class, only you and I have become lords. Let''s exchange contacts a bit. After we reach the new land, we can support each other."

    "Are you sure you need my help?" Noan shrugged and said: "You just said I''m just a Rank F landlord; don''t you remember?"

    "Huh!" Lylia snorted; her arrogant expression did not make Noan uncomfortable; on the contrary, it made him feel that she was very cute.

    "And I am a Rank A lord, Rank A, Rank A."

    "Okay, you don''t need to repeat it three times." Noan frowned.

    "Important things need to be said three times." Lylia smiled and said: "If you can''t help me, I can protect you."

    Thump! Thump!

    Lylia said as she patted Noan''s shoulder, seemingly not minding touching his body.

    However, Noan didn''t want to touch her. Just because she was close to him didn''t mean she liked him; perhaps it was just because her personality was quite easygoing.

    "Then... Please take care of me more."

    "Hehehehe... don''t worry!" Lylia said confidently.

    [Please invite student Noan to teleport station number 23.]

    Noan heard the announcement mentioning his name and said, "I''ll go first."

    "Bye bye!" Lylia waved at him with a mischievous smile: "When you reach the new land, remember to contact me."

    "Got it!" Noan replied simply, then quickly headed to teleportation station number 23.

    Here, the employee in charge of teleportation was a black-haired girl with a pretty face, probably only a few years older than Noan.

    She smiled warmly and said, "Hello, I am Maya, the manager of this teleportation station. You and I will be working together a lot in the near future."

    Noan also nodded and said: "I am Noan."

    Maya continued, "This portal will take you to a new land. There, you will build your own territory."

    "Don''t worry; the place you''re going to is very suitable for beginners; just do exactly what you''ve learnt."

    "Do you have any questions?"

    Noan shrugged and said, "No!"

    ...

    Noan felt a little dizzy, as if he had fallen into a zero-gravity environment.

    But after feeling his feet touch the ground, he slowly opened his eyes.

    "This place is..."

    Noan saw this place like a city that had been abandoned for a long time. The buildings collapsed into huge piles of rubble.

    Plants had invaded everywhere; even weeds and flowers, even trees over five meters tall, had broken through the road surface to cover the place with greenery.

    In the distance, rotting zombies were moving aimlessly.

    Luckily, the place where Noan appeared was quite far away from those zombies, so they didn''t detect him.

    However, Noan felt very confused about why he was here.

    In fact, he knew very well that the first land that a newbie like him set foot on would be filled with zombie monstrosities.

    However, according to what he learnt, the place he was taken to was very safe.

    Zombies are also very far from the area to build the territory, creating enough conditions for new lords to get used to the dangers in the new land.

    But... It seemed that Noan felt that the place he went to was a bit strange.

    There were a lot of zombies, moving everywhere on the road. Luckily, the place he was situated was quite far from the zombies, so he was still safe.

    Noan shivered, sensing something watching him from the hidden corners of the collapsed buildings.

    He frowned and gently backed away, trying not to make any noise.

    Even though he is a lord, if he cannot find a place to place the Core and summon soldiers, he is useless.

    Only when he finds a suitable place to install the Core does he have the right to summon soldiers to fight.

    He was a novice and had summoned a hero once; however, he did not dare to use the summoning power here.

    Luckily this place was not in the city centre, so he could quickly run to the suburbs.

    In the city, the population is extremely dense, so the number of zombies will certainly be extremely large.

    Therefore, Noan decided to go out of the city and find a rather deserted place.

    After walking since morning, Noan found an abandoned house, surrounded by a flower field, looking quite peaceful.

    After confirming that there were no other zombies in this place, he squatted on the ground and took out the metal ball that Maya had not given him.

    He took out the Lord ID card, scanned it on the orb, and immediately after, a mechanical voice rang out.

    [Ding! You have access to the Core; do you want to install the Core now?]

    "No, I want to be granted the right to summon heroes."

    [Ding! You have a hero summon; do you want to use it now?]

    "Yes!"

    [Ding! Please place the Core on the ground and confirm there are no dangers in the surroundings.]

    Noan followed the instructions and placed the Core on the ground. Immediately after, with the metal ball as the centre, a magic circle appeared on the ground, emitting a purple light.

    From within the magic circle, a honeycomb-shaped cocoon slowly emerged.

    It flew out of the magic circle and hovered in front of Noan.

    The cocoon slowly disintegrated into countless particles of light, revealing an extremely alluring woman lying inside.

    Shoulder-length black hair, snow-white skin, soft as a baby''s, a body full of charm as if enticing men to see her commit a crime.

    On her back are two bat-like wings, accompanied by a tail, the end of which is an upside-down heart like the symbol of the Ace of Spades.

    [Ding! Congratulations on successfully summoning your first Hero—Succubus—Rank D.]
