Chapter 180
"Alright, you can all go back and rest now. Everyone has worked hard today."
Shen Xing dismissed the crowd, then looked at the bald orc beside him. "Hellscream, push me to the outer city."
"Yes, my lord/boss!"
The figures dispersed, their tense nerves gradually relaxing, their backs showing unprecedented ease.
Hellscream stood behind Shen Xing, pushing the wheelchair along the bluestone street towards the outer city.
Soon, they arrived at the open space to the south, in front of a quiet little wooden house.
Pushing open the door, I saw a simply furnished room.
A small wooden bed, a thin quilt, and a wooden wardrobe.
Shen Xing released his Hand of the Void again, gently picked up Leina, and placed her on the bed.
"Hellscream, go and call Nimue over here."
"Yes, my lord!"
The bald orc turned around and quickly walked away.
Before long, the clam girl swam to the door of the wooden house.
"Human... Master, what do you want with me?" She poked her head out of the doorway, curiously peering inside.
Shen Xing turned and instructed, "Take care of Leina for me. She's passed out from exhaustion."
There's no way around it; the territory is now truly dominated by men and dominated by women.
Apart from Nimue and Leina, there were no other women to be found.
Oh, no, that's not right.
There were a few female slaves among that group of slave laborers, but they weren't the kind of female slaves you might imagine.
Instead, it was a group of sturdy middle-aged women with dark skin and thick shoulders.
They're fine with farming, but asking them to take care of people is a bit much.
"Ah... did Leina faint?"
A hint of worry flashed in Nimue's large, blue eyes. She swam to the bedside and whispered, "Nimue is the best at taking care of people. She can cook lots of delicious food, and she'll wake up soon."
Shen Xing glanced at her and added, "Don't feed her anything random. Just give her some Moon Well Water or Moonlight Bread."
Nimue's expression froze for a moment, then she said somewhat disappointedly, "Okay..."
Although it's a bit of a shame that I can't cook something delicious for Leina, I still have to listen to this human, otherwise he'll kick me out and I won't be able to take a bath.
The clam girl thought to herself.
After settling Leina in, Shen Xing pushed the wheelchair out of the room.
As I gazed at the sky where the rain was gradually subsiding, a multitude of thoughts surged within me.
He never expected that he would inexplicably take first place, nor did he expect that the hero mage under his command would possess such terrifying power.
Although he didn't experience it firsthand, he could sense from the fragmentary descriptions given by Gorehowl and the others that the scene must have been incredibly shocking.
This woman may have more secrets than you imagine.
I just don't know if she'd be willing to tell me.
"Never mind all that, let's check the rewards first." Shen Xing shook his head, putting those thoughts aside.
The system just notified me that my 'Rain God's Blessing' has been upgraded from Epic Rank to Legendary Rank!
There is no record of this even on forums.
In other words, he has achieved something unprecedented.
No wonder the system specifically upgraded its rewards.
"Let me see what kind of power this Legendary Rank Rain God's Blessing possesses."
With anticipation, he opened the territory panel to check the blessing attributes.
[Rain God's Blessing (Legendary Rank): Increases the growth rate of all crops in the territory by 100% and increases yield by 100%.]
All members of the territory gain +1 to their secondary profession level (maximum Grandmaster Rank).
Duration: 3 years
"Huh? What? What? What?"
"100% bonus? +1 level to all classes? That's outrageous!"
Shen Xing stared at the huge list of bonus effects above, completely stunned.
All I can say is, it truly lives up to its Legendary Rank; it's absolutely incredible!
The mere fact that the first rule would increase crop growth rate and yield by 100% would be enough to drive countless lords mad.
This means that Moonlight Wheat, which originally takes four months to grow and mature, now only takes two months.
The yield could jump from 500 kg per mu to 1000 kg per mu.
This back-and-forth increased production in the territory by more than four times.
And the effects that followed were even more terrifying!
All secondary professions will increase by 1 level, meaning a mid-level blacksmith like Logan will instantly be promoted to a high-level blacksmith.
From only being able to craft purple equipment, we can now craft gold equipment in bulk!
Nimue, with her Advanced Cooking Mastery, will be directly promoted to Master Rank Cooking Mastery.
Food production is faster, and the food's properties are stronger!
Undoubtedly, this will greatly benefit the development of the territory.
"This blessing will last for three years... given my current rate of development, plus a Xiao Xiao boost from [Life-Sacrifice Evolution]."
"I'm afraid that by the time this time is up, my territory will have become a true behemoth of mist."
Shen Xing clenched his fist, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Close the territory interface, then open the backpack interface to continue viewing.
This time, Leina burned through the entire Rain God Illusory Realm with a single fire, and the system added extra rewards.
Moreover, they are items from two Epic!
At this moment, two treasures lie quietly in the backpack space.
They are three crystal-clear teardrops and an antique wine cup carved entirely from jade, in a sky-blue color.
He first took out a teardrop and glanced at its attributes.
[The Rain God's Tear of Hope]
[Quality: Orange (Epic)]
[Item Description: After the cataclysmic flood receded, the ancient Rain God stood atop the clouds, gazing upon the ravaged land. For the first time, a few tears streamed from his once calm eyes, and tender shoots sprouted from the mud—Old Century, Chapter Three.]
[Item effect: After consumption by the user or territory troops, it can immediately increase the user's four main attributes by 15%, and has a certain probability of awakening a water-type talent.]
If used to water plants in a territory, it can immediately accelerate their growth cycle by 100 years.
If the unit is plant-based, there is a certain probability that it will develop sentience and its star rating will increase.
(Note: The tears of the Rain God do not always contain sorrow; they also carry the hope of new life.)
"Amazing! A single tear contains such immense power. No wonder he's called the Rain God."
Shen Xing was amazed.
Clearly, these few drops of tears are extremely precious. Whether used to improve one's own and unit's attributes or to accelerate plant growth, they can bring tremendous help.
Coincidentally, he had obtained a legendary [Golden Ancient Tree Seed] a few days earlier and planted it.
However... whether to use it on troop types or seeds was a dilemma for him.
After all, there aren't many ways for a lord to improve, and this one only offers a 15% increase to all attributes, plus a chance to awaken a talent.
Items that accelerate plant growth are extremely difficult to obtain, let alone Epic Rank tear that accelerates growth by 100 years.
The three drops in his hand seemed like a never-ending amount.
"Sigh... If only I could bring this Rain God back to my territory, I'd whip her with a little leather whip, make her cry every day, and then collect her tears."
"At that time, we'll have as many of these Rain God's Tear as we need."
Shen Xing thought with a hint of regret.
Of course, he was only thinking about it.
This ancient deity possessed immense divine power; a mere spit from him could flood his entire territory.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Xing decided to try watering the seeds with one or two drops first.
After all, that's the legendary Golden Ancient Tree; it might possess unfathomable power and bring immense help to the territory.
He carefully placed the Rain God's Tear into his backpack.
Then, he took out the sky-blue wine cup and glanced at its attributes.
[Holy Chalice of Rain]
[Quality: Epic]
[Equipment Type: Trinket]
[Equipment Level: 19]
[Attribute Bonus: Spirit +220, Magic Penetration +20%]

Within the region, the growth rate of all crops increased by 500%.

(Note: After the great flood, the Rain God lay on the embankment, scooping up cups of muddy water.)
As the water level receded, an ancient village, a statue, and the corpses of a group of Rain Prayer believers were revealed—the Old Century, Chapter Seven.
