Chapter 186
With that, he strode away from the living room with his long legs.
Shen Xing stared at her retreating figure, his expression growing increasingly strange.
"Never mind, she's a neighbor anyway, it's no big deal to look after her pet for a few days." He shook his head. "Besides, this woman paid me a good sum."
Thinking of this, Shen Xing put away his phone and looked at the milky white kitten in the cardboard box.
The little creature was also looking at him, tilting its head and letting out a soft "meow".
Shen Xing stretched out her finger and gently scratched its furry chin.
I discovered that this kitten wasn't afraid of strangers at all; instead, it squinted its eyes, looking quite content.
After playing with it for a while, I gave it another cup of water and let the little guy continue to stay nestled in the cardboard box.
Shen Xing then pushed his wheelchair to the sofa in the living room.
With a gentle lift of both hands, her body floated up into the air and then landed steadily on the sofa.
However, he wasn't wearing his glasses this time.
Instead, it directly connects its consciousness to the Flower of Mist on its arm.
"Whoosh..."
My gaze shifted several times.
The space transforms instantly from a spacious, bright living room into a domain blazing with Bonfire.
This is another major ability after advancing to the Transcendent.
No longer need glasses, cell phones, or other mediums; one can directly connect with the Flower of Mist through consciousness to enter the Land of Mist.
A system notification flashed before my eyes once again.
[Your territory building: Great Bonfire has been successfully upgraded to level 2!]
[Lighting range increased to 600 meters; 'Embers of the Long Night' effect increased by 10%!]
Looking around at the flames that had surged again, he felt satisfied.
Then, Shen Xing opened his eyes again, switching back to the real world.
He transferred the two blueprints he bought from the Trading Association yesterday, along with the last piece of Black Spirit Wood, into the game.
Moreover, Shen Xing also discovered that continuously transmitting these three items did not seem to consume much mental energy.
It seems I can teleport even more things.
"As expected... after breaking through to the Tier Two, the number of items that can be teleported has increased several times over."
However, besides these few items, he didn't have anything else to transfer for the time being.
Consciousness returned to its territory, and it glanced at its backpack.
Two blueprints and a piece of Black Spirit Wood lay there quietly.
He first went to the Bonfire and upgraded again.
[Consume the following materials: Soul Stone *1500, Vinar Silver Coin *1500, Black Crystal *150, Black Spirit Wood *1, to upgrade the Great Bonfire to level 3?]
"As the Bonfire level increases, the amount of materials required also increases."
"Fortunately, with my current resource reserves, I have more than enough to upgrade the Bonfire."
He clicked "OK" directly.
The Great Bonfire, which was originally surrounded by black pebbles and burning fiercely, is now changing once again.
The pile of stones at the base rolled rapidly, and a ball of white light completely enveloped the Bonfire.
[Upgrading in progress, estimated time: 18 hours 25 minutes...]
Then, he took out two more blueprints and glanced at their attributes.
[Blueprints for the Spiked City Wall]
[Level: 2]
[Description: Can upgrade a level 1 Common city wall in a territory to a level 2 spiked city wall, greatly increasing its durability and adding 'Basic Fortitude Aura' and 'Thorn Counterattack'.]
Basic Fortitude Aura: Reduces physical and magical damage taken by 10%.
Thorn Counterattack: When attacked in melee, spikes will automatically pop out from the surface of the wall, dealing piercing damage to the attacker.
[Area: Length 10 meters, Height 6 meters, Thickness 5 meters]
[Upgrade materials required: 2 sections of Common city wall, 100 Soul Stone, 10 Black Iron, 2 Dark Steel]
Upgrade time: 12 hours and 24 minutes
(Note: There's a wall in my heart; the more you touch it, the more you get hurt.)
"Oh? The two sections of the city wall are combined into one and upgraded together?"
"So all things considered, 100 Soul Stone are still quite worthwhile."
After all, a level 1 Common city wall costs 15 Soul Stone and 10 silver coins for each section.
However, upgrading the entire outer city wall requires 15,000 Soul Stone.
Fortunately, Lord Shen won first place this time, and his territory still has plenty of resources.
"Let's upgrade the city walls first; safety comes first."
He directly opened the territory building interface and began upgrading in batches.
[Would you like to consume... to upgrade the 1520-meter level 1 wall to a level 2 Thorn Wall?]
"Yes!"
As he clicked "confirm," the entire outer perimeter of the territory, a total of 1,500 meters of city wall, was enveloped in white light.
Meanwhile, most of the resources in the territory have been used up.
I glanced at the remaining resources.
[Soul Stone] * 13152 (including Greater Soul Stone)
[Vinar Silver Coin] *4215
[Kingdom Gold Coin] * 50
[Black Iron]*1716
[Dark Steel]*134
[Black Crystal] *3241
[Embers] *4952
[Food] *534
"The Soul Stone reserves are still plentiful; they should last for a while."
"The food is a big problem; we need to find a solution as soon as possible."
Shen Xing secretly made up his mind to send people out to explore in a while.
The heavy rain that lasted for a week has finally stopped; who knows, there might be some surprises.
Next, he continued to examine the second drawing.
[Holy Light Beacon Blueprint]
[Level: 2]
[Floor area: 28 square meters]
[Height: 24 meters]
[Maximum illumination distance: 600 meters]
[Effect: Upgrades level 1 lighthouses in the territory to Holy Light Beacon, greatly increasing their illumination range and activating the special ability: Holy Light's Blessing.]
Holy Light's Blessing: Fires a beam of light, creating a 20-meter diameter safe zone within the mist, and heals all friendly units within that zone from injury, increasing their abnormal status resistance by 20%.
[Upgrade materials required: Level 1 Lighthouse*1, Wood*500, Stone*500, Soul Stone *100, Black Iron *50]
"It can shoot out beams of light that heal injuries? That's a very powerful ability!"
"Upgrade! Upgrade everything!"
The wealthy and powerful Lord Shen directly opened the territory building interface.
[Consume materials... Upgrade all 24 level 1 lighthouses in your territory to level 2 Holy Light Beacon?]
"Yes!"
In an instant, all 24 lighthouses in the outer and inner city areas were enveloped in white light.
Tomorrow, the entire territory will undergo another significant Metamorphosis.
After doing all this, Shen Xing clapped his hands, preparing to send Hellscream out to explore.
And at this time...
A series of system notifications flashed before my eyes.
[System Announcement: Attention all lords!]
[The Rain God Avatar has been defeated; the Tier One the Rain of Weeping expansion has ended.]
[Now entering Tier Two: Rain's Revival, with content updates.]
[Update Content ①: After the heavy rain, all things flourish. The probability of encountering refugees and wandering merchants near all territories will increase, and there is also a certain probability of encountering Rare talents.]
[Update Content ②: Insightful Observation, Aptitude Revealed. Now, all lords can view the specific aptitude of their troops on the panel.]
(Note: Initial aptitude does not represent the final achievement of a unit; life is full of infinite possibilities and hope.)
During the growth process, every choice and every evolution can potentially influence the fate of this unit.
[Update Content ③: Rain God's Legacy, Clay Statue Reconstructed. Now, all lords have a certain probability of randomly encountering Rain God Statue while exploring the wilderness. Depending on your choices, you will receive different rewards.]
[Update Content 4: Lotus Blossoms. The special secret realm 'Lotus Pond' will be open in 15 days. All lords can consume 'Rain and Dew Pearl' to enter and explore, and obtain generous rewards.]
When the notification ended, Shen Xing was slightly taken aback.
Another update?
However, this isn't a major update; it's more of an expansion based on the Tier Two of the expansion, essentially adding some new game content.
