Chapter 100

With its head bruised and swollen, and a piece of dried ham still dangling from its long beak, the eagle used its last strength to swallow it.

Shen Xing quickly pushed the wheelchair over, and looking at the chaotic state of the granary, he felt a pang of heartache.

Damn it, the grain I just looted and collected has been ruined by this guy, scattered all over the ground.

What's even more outrageous is that this guy ate quite a lot of meat.

It consumed nearly half of the remaining 200 kilograms of dried meat.

"You son of a bitch!"

Shen Xing wanted Hellscream to give it a good beating.

But then he saw the guy lying on the ground, looking at him pitifully with his big, yellow eyes.

"Chirp..." The Hippogryph made a low whimper, as if to say that it was very hungry.

Shen Xing was silent for a moment, then finally sighed, "Never mind, let it eat it."

As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.

This guy looks like he has a huge appetite, and since he was just summoned, he probably hasn't eaten in a long time.

He had Hellscream drag out several dozen kilograms more of dried meat from the granary.

The Hippogryph's eyes lit up when it saw the meat on the ground, and the whole bird perked up.

With a gentle snatch of its curved beak, it put the piece of meat into its mouth, and it disappeared without even being seen swallowing.

In the blink of an eye, this guy devoured nearly two hundred kilograms of meat, almost the daily ration of forty orcs.

"Damn it, another good-for-nothing has joined the territory."

Shen Xing suddenly felt a headache coming on.

The orcs already ate enough every day, and now there's this guy with an even bigger appetite.

"Ee-li~ Ee-li~"

The Hippogryph, having eaten its fill, stood up from the ground, came to Shen Xing's side, and gently flapped its wings.

Its pointed head bobbed little by little, and I must say, it looked quite cute.

Shen Xing sighed helplessly and threatened, "You've eaten so much of my food, you'd better work hard for me, or I'll stew you up and make you into Hippogryph soup!"

"Chirp chirp..."

The Hippogryph nodded slightly, as if to say, "As long as there's food, I'll work hard."

Its honest and simple appearance is completely mismatched with its strong and robust physique.

Shen Xing nodded in satisfaction. "From today onwards, you'll be called Fried Chicken."

"Eeee?" The Hippogryph tilted its head, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of the name.

Shen Xing didn't explain, but instead opened its properties panel to take a look.

[Hippogryph: Fried Chicken]

[Lord: Shen Xing]

[Level: 7]

[Potential: Elite ★★★]

[Attributes: Strength 65, Spirit 57, Agility 71, Constitution 62]

[Talent: High-Altitude Perception (possesses night vision, ultra-long-range vision, and the ability to penetrate fog, etc.)]

[Synergy - Hippogryph (Not Activated)]

(Note: A juvenile Hippogryph already possesses excellent high-altitude reconnaissance capabilities.)

"Huh? This little guy's skills... are interesting."

Shen Xing's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the description above.

As a flying unit, the Hippogryph possesses unparalleled speed in the air, along with strong aerial combat capabilities.

More importantly, it possesses Empowerment: it can actually see through the fog.

This means that Shen Xing can now ride on the back of this Hippogryph and let it take him out to explore.

At that time, combined with his monocular telescope, both exploration efficiency and mobility will be greatly improved.

"Hellscream, take this guy down and teach him how to absorb Soul Stone. Level it up to level 9 as soon as possible," Shen Xing ordered.

"Yes, my lord!"

The bald Hippogryph immediately did as he was told, beckoning to the harpy and walking towards the village entrance.

Fried Chicken strides along with its strong limbs, obediently following behind.

After they left, Lord Shen leaned back in his wheelchair, feeling somewhat melancholy again.

"I originally thought that this harvest of several thousand kilograms of food would be enough to sustain the territory for half a month."

"But now that there's this big eater in Fried Chicken, I guess he can only last less than a week."

"Besides, it's raining now, so it's not a good time to go out and explore..."

Having gained so many resources and acquired a powerful flying mount, they should have experienced double the joy.

But why couldn't Shen Xing feel happy?

He shook his head, pushed his wheelchair, and built several more houses on the territory.

Then, spend 160 Soul Stone + 40 Ice Crystal to upgrade the 8 level 1 arrow towers around the territory to [Ice Arrow Tower].

Today, while attacking the Silver Holy Land with Xia Wanyin, I traded some materials with her using Black Crystal, and now they come in handy.

Finally, he spent another 200 Soul Stone and silver coins to upgrade the Bonfire, Metamorphosis it into Great Bonfire.

After completing these tasks, Lord Shen, who had been busy all day, logged out of the game.

"Buzz..."

My gaze returned to the rented room, the sound of rain pattering in my ears, and a damp smell filled the air.

"Hmm, it's raining?"

Shen Xing propped herself up in bed and looked out the window.

Fine rain fell from the sky, enveloping the Jiangcheng in a curtain of rain in the dead of night.

He frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "It's raining in the Land of Mist, and it's raining in Jiangcheng too. Is this just a coincidence?"

I opened my phone, logged into the local forum section, and checked, but didn't see anyone discussing the rain in both areas.

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

Each player's initial territory upon entering the Land of Mist is randomized; even players from the same Jiangcheng could have territories worlds apart.

Besides, it's summer now, and there's a lot of rain, so he might be being a bit too paranoid.

Just then, a text message appeared on his phone, interrupting his thoughts.

"Your ICBC card number 9527 received a transfer of 3,612,500 yuan at 23:22."

Shen Xing stared blankly at the long string of numbers on the screen.

After confirming twice that it really was a seven-figure sum, I gasped in surprise.

Then, unable to suppress it any longer, a perverted smile spread across his face as he sat alone in his rented room.

After a moment of excitement, Shen Xing suppressed his excitement and clicked on the message on the Green Bubble.

Take Her Eyes With You, she asked, "Shen Xing, did you receive the money?"

Shen Xing replied, "Received, thank you."

"You're welcome." Xia Wanyin sent a mouse emoji, then sent a voice message: "Shen Xing, you made so much money this time, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"

"No problem," Shen Xing replied readily. "Send me your address, and I'll order takeout for you."

Take Her Eyes With You: "..."

"Who invites a girl to dinner? They order takeout!" Xia Wanyin was speechless.

Shen Xing replied, "Then how can I invite you? You don't necessarily want to meet me in person, do you?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a reply came, "Let's not talk about it for now. We can invite you another time."

"OK."

They chatted for a while longer.

Xia Wanyin shared that after returning home today, she gave the Boss Rank Soul to her Light Spirit, who successfully broke through to the Boss Rank.

Then he extensively developed his territory, upgrading many buildings and cultivating a lot of fertile land.

She excitedly told Shen Xing that she was studying the treasure map and was almost at its exact location.

I'd like to invite him to go treasure hunting with me sometime.

Shen Xing thought about it and agreed to the request.

Treasure hunting is great; he loves it.

After ending the chat with Xia Wanyin, he opened the discussion group and sent a message.

"Qin Lang, Jiayi, let's meet at the Player Association tomorrow. I have something for you."

Within seconds of sending the message, the two of them would reply with messages.

I Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat, "No problem, I happen to have something good to share with you too."

Cilantro Who Loves to Play: "Me too!"

All three remained mysterious, unwilling to reveal what it was beforehand, seemingly wanting to surprise each other.

Shen Xing smiled, then turned off her phone and placed it on the bedside table.

Then, he stretched out his increasingly strong arm, revealing the Flower of Mist that existed between reality and illusion.

"Whoosh..."

The gray fog billowed out and then quickly dissipated.

Two silvery-white fruits, resembling works of art, appeared in his arms.

It was indeed the Silver Sacred Fruit.

"Let me taste this golden-quality sacred fruit and see how much it enhances my abilities!"

With a hint of anticipation, he picked up a sacred fruit and put it in his mouth.
