I'm building the perfect territory in the mist.

Chapter 44: The water gushed out!

Shen Xing immediately summoned a squad of orc infantry and gave each of them a shovel and a hoe.

These tools were found in mines and sick villages, and now they've come in handy.

"Alright, now you can start digging along this area."

Shen Xing spun his wheelchair, drawing a circle with a diameter of about two meters.

"No problem, boss!"

The beastmen responded and began digging the soil with great enthusiasm.

Shen Xing watched for a while and found that their efficiency was quite high.

These orcs may not have any other skills, but they certainly have boundless strength.

With one shovelful, half a cubic meter of black soil could be scooped up, and in no time a shallow pit was dug out.

At this moment, Bloodhowl stepped forward confidently to report: "Boss, last night two groups of Lost Ones and Felhounds attacked the territory."

"There were more of them than yesterday, and they were slightly stronger, but we killed them all!"

Shen Xing nodded, showing no surprise on his face.

The longer the lord stays in the game, the stronger the attacking monsters will become.

Some ordinary players have already exhausted all their efforts just to defend against these monsters.

Because he could obtain the [Sacrifice Evolution] for free, his rate of growth far exceeded that of the monsters in the mist.

"Well done."

Shen Xing gave a compliment and, as usual, pocketed the spoils he had acquired the previous night.

[Received: Soul Stones * 24]

[Received: 16 Vinar Silver Coins]

[Received: 15 Broken Souls]

[Received: 1 complete normal soul]

...

Since most of the attacking monsters are ordinary monsters, the souls dropped are also of ordinary grade.

After accumulating these souls over this period, Shen Xing has used them to upgrade all 12 other orc infantrymen in his territory to ordinary two-star.

Then, he beckoned to another orc in the distance, whose arms were as thick as tree stumps: "Roar, come here."

"The boss's here!"

He strode forward with a resolute gait, his face radiating a fanatical loyalty.

Then, as usual, Shen Xing used today's [Sacrifice Evolution] to upgrade him to Elite Three Star.

His agility has increased by an additional 20 points, and his agility attribute has now officially exceeded 100, which is an attribute that is almost only available to boss-level units of the same tier!

It also activated a new skill, [Throwing Axe].

I glanced at the attributes.

【Flying Axe Throw: Forcefully swing two battle axes to perform a cross slash on enemies within (Agility*1) meters in front of you, and they will fly back to your hand after 0.5 seconds.

Cooldown time: 45 seconds

...

This is also a very strong skill in actual combat. It not only comes with a Y-shaped area slash, but can also attack the enemy's back by crossing and spinning the throwing axe.

"In this way, I will have three elite three-star units in my territory."

"This speed is something even whales or second-generation lords can't match."

"And in a few days, once they reach level 9, I can even mass-produce boss-level units."

Shen Xing murmured to himself, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

"Buzzing..."

The phone on the table vibrated. I glanced at the message and saw it was a voice message from Xia Wanyin.

Wearing her glasses, he said, "Starfire, I'm almost near your territory."

Shen Xing replied with an "OK" emoji, and then had Hellroar lead ten orcs to form an exploration team, and together they stepped into the mist.

After walking a short distance, they saw Xia Wanyin waiting quietly not far away.

"Spark, we should be able to explore all the resource points within a two-kilometer radius of your territory today," Xia Wanyin said softly.

"it is good."

Shen Xing nodded, and the two teams joined together, continuing to venture deeper into the fog.

Xia Wanyin once again demonstrated her radar-like abilities, accurately locating resource points one by one, which was simply outrageous.

As you continue exploring, more and more green dots appear on the minimap.

From noon until sunset.

Their lanterns were almost burned out, so they stopped their exploration for the day.

"Alright, all the nearby resource points are now active."

Xia Wanyin turned around gracefully, her white skirt blooming like flower petals: "There are some resource points that are located quite far away, let's explore them later."

"Um."

Shen Xing nodded slightly, then counted the number of resource points on the map.

They are:

There are 7 Black Crystal Towers, each capable of producing 30 units of Black Crystal per day.

There are 6 green crystal towers, and the daily output is about 25 units.

There are 6 Yu Hui Sacrifice Towers, which can produce 96 Yu Hui Fires per day.

There are also two iron ore mines, one copper mine, one intermediate logging camp, and one quarry.

These materials may sound like a lot of different kinds, but you can just think of them all as building materials.

"Great, these resource points alone can bring me a considerable income every day."

"Although it might be extinguished again by the monsters in the mist, the location has been found. We can just light it up when we pass by later."

Shen Xing was satisfied and couldn't help but marvel at Xia Wanyin's incredible abilities once again.

If I were to explore on my own, I probably wouldn't be able to find so many resource points in a week or two.

After saying goodbye to the girl in the white dress, Shen Xing led the beastmen back to their territory.

When he stepped into the area of ​​the fire, the village was bustling with activity.

A group of orcs were busy on the south side of the village, with more than a dozen shovels flying up and down, and the black soil they dug out was piled up into a small mountain by the pit.

Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair over to take a look.

Wow, that's something!

These orcs are really working hard; in less than a day, they've dug at least five or six meters deep.

"This depth is fine, everyone go and rest."

Shen Xing stopped the orc who was still wielding a shovel at the bottom of the pit.

Building a well requires 50 soul stones, which is a fixed expense that cannot be reduced.

Therefore, as long as the distance is kept within 20 meters, no extra Soul Stones will be consumed.

The orcs obeyed the order and quickly climbed out of the pit.

Shen Xing reopened the building interface, and the outline of a well appeared, perfectly covering the two-meter-diameter pit.

[Consume 50 Soul Stones... to build a well. Estimated time: 16:32...]

"It really saved money!"

He was overjoyed and confirmed the construction without hesitation.

A beam of blue light descended, and a magical scene unfolded before our eyes.

Irregular stones appeared on the walls of the pit and piled up automatically.

At the bottom of the pit, the soil slowly sank, as if it had been quietly wiped away by an invisible force.

I was once again struck by the convenience of this building's functionality.

If we let them dig on their own, who knows how long it would take.

Shen Xing looked away and felt that the light above her head had dimmed considerably.

The land of mist also ushered in its own night.

The dense fog changed from its original grayish-white color to inky black.

Thick black fog churned all around, resembling the sea before a storm, creating a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere.

In the center of the village, the light from the bonfire kept the mist at bay.

The entire village seemed to have become the only isolated island in this dark world.

I must say, it has a really good atmosphere.

Outside, a dense fog seemed capable of swallowing everything, but inside the village, warmth reigned, and the orcs and skeleton archers trained as usual.

Shen Xing happily admired the sights for a while, then distributed the soul stones as usual.

There are currently more than twenty combat units in the territory, and every day just to upgrade their levels, they consume thirty to forty soul stones.

Furthermore, as the level increases, more and more types of troops can be recruited, and the daily consumption of soul stones and food continues to rise.

"Sigh... I'm still too poor. I need to work harder to earn resources, otherwise how can I support my ever-growing territory?"

"Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep."

After a long day of work, Lord Shen took off his glasses and logged out of the game.

Then I turned on my phone and browsed the forums for a while.

Watching the silly chatter of the players, Shen Xing held his phone, grinning broadly.

Xia Wanyin also sent him several messages, most of which were about the game.

For example, she found several more soul stones in the wild, as well as some belongings of the deceased.

Sometimes I would send him snippets of my daily life, such as what I ate for a late-night snack or what songs I listened to that day.

Shen Xing also took the time to reply with a few words.

When he came to his senses, he glanced at the time.

Damn, it's past 2 a.m. again!

No, I must go to bed early tonight and not stay up late.

He quickly closed the forum and opened another learning software.

It was three in the morning, and the night was deep and quiet.

Shen Xing lay in bed pondering some philosophical questions.

For example, what is the meaning of life?

Since everything is made of matter, whether it is birth, aging, sickness, death, or the rotation of the sun and moon, it is all matter that is changing. So does time actually exist?

Thinking about these profound questions, Shen Xing fell into a deep sleep.

...

...

The next day.

The glaring sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto my face.

Shen Xing groggily opened her eyes, then got up, quickly washed up, and went downstairs for breakfast.

Then, he went back to his bedroom and put his black glasses back on.

As soon as the scene shifted back to the village, the beastmen were seen gathered around the south side of the village, excitedly waving their arms and legs.

"Water! So much water is gushing out!"

Shen Xing's lips twitched, and he pushed his wheelchair over to take a look.

At this moment, what was yesterday's mud pit has become a well pit more than 20 meters deep.

At the very bottom, murky groundwater gushes out, mixing with yellow mud to form a thick, yellow liquid, like natural bubble tea.

As time goes by, the well water will gradually become clearer.

A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Xing's face. In this way, the water source problem of the territory was solved.

Then he looked toward the center of the territory.

The ancient Moon Well still exudes a soft, clear light.

After three days of production, a pool of "Moon Spring Water" has been filled at the bottom of the well, about seven liters in total.

It may not sound like much, but it will last for a long time.

Shen Xing had previously conducted experiments showing that taking more than 100 milliliters of Moon Spring Water at once could heal some minor injuries.

Taking more than 500 ml can even help recover quickly from some serious injuries.

Of course, he didn't know if it would be effective against fatal wounds, because he hadn't tried it.

"【Sacrifice Evolution】has finished its cooldown again. Which character should I upgrade today?"

Shen Xing stared at the lit-up icon on the talent bar, lost in thought.

The three orc warriors in their own territory have all been upgraded to elite ★★★.

However, their levels are all between 6 and 7, which is still some distance from the maximum level of 9.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xing made a decision: "Let's switch to a different unit type for training today."

His gaze swept around, then he randomly selected a patrolling skeleton archer and beckoned to him: "You, come here."

"Crackling sounds..."

The skeleton archer strode over with bony steps, tilting his head as if somewhat bewildered.

Shen Xing directly opened the talent interface.

Sacrifice your life to evolve, give me some points!

"Buzz~"

A ball of red light descended from the sky and landed on the skeleton archer.
