Chapter 199

"We'll be going now, see you next time." Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi stood up, preparing to leave.

At this moment, Shen Xing suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I have something for you."

Under the curious gazes of the two, he raised his arm, and the Flower of Mist slowly spun.

Grayish-white mist billowed out, gradually engulfing half of the living room.

As the fog dissipated, two giant cannons appeared before Shen Xing, their bodies glowing with a flame-like color and their barrels measuring two and a half meters in length.

It is a weapon of war: the Demon Flame Turret.

There were also dozens of dark practice shells lying nearby.

Upon seeing these two massive machines, Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi were both taken aback.

"Holy crap, you brought his Italian cannon?"

Qin Lang exclaimed in surprise, then quickly squatted down and began to pat the cannon platform.

"This length, this size... it's just too outrageous."

"I can't take it anymore, this thing is too intense, I can't stand watching it, I really want to fuck him."

He touched the cannon barrel, clicking his tongue in amazement, his eyes filled with excitement. "Shen Xing, is this for us?"

Shen Xing smiled and said, "If I don't give it to you, who else would I give it to?"

"Fantastic!" Qin Lang cheered. "My childhood dream was to be a gunner, and now my dream can finally come true."

"Didn't you say last time that you dreamed of becoming a pilot?" Shen Xing said speechlessly.

"Haha, people's dreams change, you know." Qin Lang squatted next to the cannon, fiddling with the buttons on it. "With this size, I ask you, which man could resist firing a shot at it?"

"Be careful," Shen Xing warned. "This thing is incredibly powerful; it can easily kill Transcendent Rank beings. Don't let it blow my house to smithereens."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Qin Lang nodded repeatedly, but still stroked the cannon platform with obvious affection.

Xu Jiayi, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward. Looking at the menacing war machine, she asked softly, "This kind of turret, capable of instantly killing Transcendent beings, must be incredibly expensive. Do you have enough for yourself?"

"Don't worry, I still have some in my territory." Shen Xing smiled.

Xu Jiayi didn't say anything more, but nodded gently. "Thank you."

Shen Xing waved his hand.

Next, the two activated their respective Flower of Mist, transferring the turrets and shells into their own territories.

Then, each carrying a bag of trash, they left the villa.

Shen Xing watched the two get into the car and disappear into the night, then closed the door.

"Call..."

Shen Xing leaned back in her wheelchair and rubbed her temples. "These kinds of gatherings are really tiring."

"Next time, let's just find a restaurant; it'll save us the trouble of cleaning up."

After returning to the living room, I glanced at my phone; it was a little past eight in the evening.

It's still early.

Shen Xing re-entered the game, teleported out the two advanced materials he had obtained that day, and then placed a delivery order.

After doing all that, he logged back in and absorbed some more Soul Stone.

After all, he was looking forward to reaching level 16 as soon as possible so he could use the [Holy Chalice of Rain].

"Click! Snap!"

The surface of each Soul Stone is covered with dense cracks, and the pure energy contained within is drawn into the body.

Shen Xing felt warm currents flowing slowly through his blood vessels, subtly transforming his body.

Moreover, his mental attributes were greatly enhanced after breaking through to the Transcendent.

While absorbing the Soul Stone, you can also take a break and leave the Land of Mist to check out today's hot topics on the forum.

This is something else entirely—they manage to both hone their skills and coast along.

Today's forum content mostly revolved around the new activities.

The three options for the Rain God Statue, in particular, have sparked much discussion.

Ahoge King Aili): "Brothers, if you encounter Rain God Statue, whatever you do, never choose the third option, or you'll definitely regret it!"

Ahe'erke: "You're too late! I've already been infected, and I'm in so much pain!"

"Is it that serious? It's just that you can't move; a few days of lying down will fix it, Taste My New Year Sword Technique?"

Ahe'erke: "You don't know anything! This thing isn't just immobile; it's completely locked up, making it impossible to move normally."

"Can you even imagine the despair I felt when I was faced with two 36D women in black stockings, and could only stare helplessly at them?"

"The Mung Bean Soup Tastes Good: 'Holy crap! Is it that serious? You might as well just kill me then. Thank goodness I didn't choose that option.'"

Daodaoquan: "Yeah, this is such a rip-off!"

Bamboo Wife: "Haha, luckily I'm a girl, so I'm not affected in that way."

Upon seeing the discussion above, Shen Xing gasped in shock and hurriedly checked his pants.

A moment later, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, I wasn't affected at all."

Damn, after hearing what they said, the price is indeed terrifying.

If you choose option three twice in a row, you won't be able to get an erection for at least a month. What man could stand that?

Thankfully, this thing swallowed my Flower of Mist, otherwise it would have been too terrifying!

He continued browsing other posts, this time a discussion about homelessness and qualifications.

"Sworn to Be the World's Number One Lord. "Haha, my territory has finally recruited its first batch of refugees, and they're even capable of fighting! This is awesome! It's just that these refugees have bloodshot eyes and occasionally breathe fire."

Snake Spirit's Little Belly Button: "Should we remind him that these refugees suffer from Frenzied Flame Disease and were likely driven out of those big cities?"

Talk Back to Meiyangyang, "Oh, poor little newbie, the village is about to be burned down by these refugees!"

Yuno-chan: "Having too many refugees isn't necessarily a good thing. They're troublesome to manage, and you have to feed and water them. If you ask me, we should just kill them all and turn them into food reserves."

Emiya Coyote: "Brother, you're going a bit too far."

Shen Xing silently scrolled through the comments, continuing to read further.

"Brothers, have you all checked the foreign forums? Today, a Master Rank expert from the Earth Bear Nation released his hero profile, with a talent score of 67 points, the highest I've ever seen."

"67 points of aptitude, awesome! I saw that even an Expert Rank lord's hero in Heavenly Star Nation only has 45 points of aptitude."

"Looking at the posts they shared today, most of them have only 20 or 30 points of aptitude, and even the heroes only have a maximum of 60 points."

"I'm so envious. I wish I had a hero with a 60-point or even 50-point aptitude. Right now, there's a bunch of idiots in my territory with aptitudes below 10. It's giving me a real headache."

"Forget about it. 50 points of aptitude? You should be grateful if you have even one in your territory with more than 20 points of aptitude."

Shen Xing also replied below, "Yes, yes, highly qualified talents are so rare, I'm really envious."

At the same time.

In that detached manor by the lake, the girl in the white dress opened her pale eyes and sat up in bed.

She opened her palm, and the Flower of Mist on her arm slowly rotated, spewing out a torrent of mist.

As the mist dissipated, three crystal-clear water droplets, imbued with a pure aura, were revealed.

The girl in the white dress groped her way out of the room and into the living room on the first floor.

"Wanyin, you logged off so early?"

The long-haired girl with black hair, who was lying on the sofa, opened her eyes, turned her head, and asked.

"Mmm, we've explored pretty much everything for today," Xia Wanyin replied softly, then added, "Sister Lingyin, I brought you some good stuff."

"Good stuff? What good stuff could you possibly have?" Xia Lingyin glanced at her, waved her hand, and said, "Keep it for yourself. Focus on improving your strength first. No need to rush to help me."

"No, this thing really will work for you." Xia Wanyin's tone was somewhat anxious, then she opened her palm, revealing three drops of pure water.

"This is..."

The long-haired girl sensed it for a moment, her pupils trembling slightly. "This is Rain and Dew Pearl? The kind that can directly increase your level?"

"Yes!" Xia Wanyin nodded. "Didn't you say you were leveling up very slowly? This will come in handy."

"I remember, these Rain and Dew Pearl can only be obtained by choosing the third option at the 'Rain God Altar.'" The long-haired black girl glanced at Xia Wanyin: "How did you get so many?"

"It was given to me by my friend, the one I told you about last time, the one who gave me the Ancient Tree Seed."

Xia Wanyin explained, "Today we raided many statues together. I was in charge of scanning with my [Mind's Eye] talent, and he was in charge of clicking the options. Then we split the rewards equally."

"Split it with you?" Xia Lingyin's voice held a hint of surprise. "Do you know that this third option comes at a high price? Even I wouldn't dare to choose it lightly."

"He even split the reward with you; is he trying to get something out of you?"

"What... what are you saying... Sister Lingyin?" Xia Wanyin's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice became somewhat stammering. "Who would want to see a blind person like me?"

Looking at her like this, Xia Lingyin felt a pang of heartache in her eyes. "Sigh, just be careful yourself, and don't easily trust others in the game."

"But since he's given you so many good things, he must be a good person. I'll go visit him near your territory sometime when I have the chance."

"I'll accept the things, thank you, Wanyin."

She reached out and beckoned, and three water droplets flew over automatically, which she caught in her hand.

"Hehehe, you're welcome..." Xia Wanyin chuckled twice.

Xia Lingyin played with the water droplets in her hand, then suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, you should prepare yourself and try to improve your strength as much as possible. We're going overseas together next month."

"Huh? Overseas?"

"Yes," Xia Lingyin nodded, "This time I secured two spots in a special secret realm; I've heard there's something extraordinary inside."

"I'll take you with me then, along with a few other friends."

Xia Wanyin looked puzzled, but still obediently nodded. "Okay..."

Meanwhile, in the Land of Mist.

Near the Blackwing Plains, on an abandoned watchtower.

A woman dressed in a black bodysuit and with icy blue eyes stood on the edge of the tower, gazing into the distance.

"Blackwing Plains, we've finally arrived..."

Carrying a lantern, she gazed at the endless plain shrouded in thick fog, her voice tinged with weariness and annoyance. "I didn't expect to encounter such a downpour as soon as I stepped out, causing me to be delayed for so long and even miss the Points Shop."

Even if I receive all of Gideon's inheritance, it still won't make up for my loss.
