Chapter 247

"Leina, Onyxia, Mr. Fordring, come up here."

He shouted, and three figures jumped onto the Fried Chicken's back.

Then, watching the slaves go, it took flight.

A few minutes later.

They returned to their territory and jumped off the Fried Chicken's back.

Shen Xing took a wooden stool out of his backpack, sat down, and said, "Leina, next you take Onyxia to explore the territory and arrange a place for her to stay."

"Mr. Fordring, once the main force of the territory returns, have them send a detachment of wolf riders to garrison near the mine. Tell them it's my idea."

He issued instructions one by one.

"Yes, Lord/Dragon Lord."

The three responded respectfully and then left.

Shen Xing then summoned the blacksmith Logan, handed him the wheelchair wreckage from his backpack, and asked him to try to repair it.

If it really can't be fixed, then let him figure out a way to build himself a new one.

Logan readily agreed and assured him that he would definitely build him a powerful wheelchair.

Shen Xing felt something was off; he had a feeling that Logan wasn't making anything legitimate.

But who cares? As long as I have a wheelchair, that's fine.

After finishing these tasks, Shen Xing left the Land of Mist.

"Whoosh..."

As the view shifts, the pristine white ceiling and crystal chandelier of the bedroom come into view.

A faint mist of moisture filled the air.

Shen Xing casually waved his hand, and the phone on the bedside table automatically flew into his hand.

I unlocked the screen and glanced at it.

Yes, apart from messages in the two group chats, not a single person contacted me.

This is quite normal; he has no more than twenty friends on his Green Bubble platform), and many of them are classmates he has lost contact with.

Shen Xing directly opened the three-person discussion group and sent a message: "Qin Lang, Jiayi, do you have time to go to the Player Association later? I have some good stuff for you."

A few seconds later, the two replied to the message.

"Cilantro Who Loves to Play: 'Something good again? I have time, I absolutely have to! My brother Xing is number one in the world now, anything he mentions must be something special.'"

Shen Xing: "Get lost, stop trying to sarcastic remarks about me."

Cilantro Who Loves to Play: "Hahaha, I'm not being sarcastic, I'm being sincere!"

Shen Xing was speechless and bombarded him with several emojis.

Xu Jiayi replied, "I'm leaving now, I'll be there in ten minutes."

Shen Xing turned off his phone and then focused his mind on the flower mark on his arm.

"Whoosh..."

The Flower of Mist slowly rotated, spewing out large amounts of gray mist.

When the fog dissipated, six glittering objects appeared before my eyes.

They consist of a massive, pale golden soul, three upgrade materials, a golden heart resembling stone, and an ancient skill book.

Shen Xing packed these things into a bag and prepared to get up and go to the Player Association.

Meow~

A soft meow reached my ears.

Shen Xing looked down and saw the milky white kitten, which had somehow entered her room.

It even jumped onto the bed, made itself a little nest in the corner of the blankets, and lazily curled up into a ball.

"You little rascal, why are you getting into other people's beds?"

Shen Xing smiled, picked it up from the bed, and pushed the wheelchair out of the room.

I went back to the stairwell and put the kitten back in the box.

The little guy didn't make a sound the whole time, just stared at him with his big eyes, full of curiosity.

Shen Xing gave it water and cat food, fed it some treats, and played with it for a while.

Then he opened his phone and sent Yu Feifei a message: "When are you coming back?"

This woman promised to take care of me for a few days, but it's been almost a week now.

A few seconds later, the phone started buzzing.

She and Her Cat: "What, missed me?"

Shen Xing: "Hehe, I was just reminding you that you need to renew your subscription. You promised to take care of me for a few days, but you're still not back."

Yu Feifei replied, "I'll be back soon. There was an unexpected situation in the Void Realm this time. It was supposed to be a normal exploration of the secret realm, but suddenly a palace appeared inside, and we're exploring it now."

"A palace?" Shen Xing was somewhat surprised.

"Yes," Yu Feifei said, "It's similar to the ancient architecture of Heavenly Star Nation. We found quite a few good things inside."

"Oh, right, there are also those moving puppets inside. I was lucky enough to capture a few Transcendent Rank. I'll give you one as extra reward."

Shen Xing replied, "We're neighbors, no need to talk about rewards. You continue exploring, I'll take good care of Duoduo."

Yu Feifei replied with a few eye-rolling emojis.

After turning off his phone, he carefully packed away all the treasures and the soul, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

"Great! Next, we'll go to the Player Association and sell the Overlord Rank Soul, then go on a big shopping spree!"

Chapter 169: Resource Exchange, Epic Rank Magic Vine Seeds

Shen Xing, carrying a bag full of treasures, pushed his wheelchair to the front yard and then murmured something.

"Fried Chicken."

A thick fog rose, revealing the silhouette of a giant bird within it.

As the fog dissipated, a Hippogryph stared wide-eyed at Shen Xing, tilting its head.

It's as if it's asking: Didn't you just tell me to go back and rest? I haven't even had a proper night's sleep in my little nest, why am I being summoned out again!

There's no other way; the only flying unit in the territory right now is Fried Chicken, Shen Xing has to use it wherever he goes. It's practically the hardest-working unit in the territory.

But things got better later on; I was able to recruit Shadow Dragon units, which would soon reduce the workload for Fried Chicken.

Of course, retirement is out of the question.

Moreover, Shen Xing will continue to invest resources to make the Fried Chicken bigger and stronger, turning it into a bird capable of standing on its own.

It would be best to find it a bird companion and have it breed with several chicks. This way, it will work tirelessly and without complaint for its mate and offspring.

Lord Shen thought to himself.

"Chirp chirp!"

The Fried Chicken, unaware of the lord's thoughts, continued to gaze at him with an innocent expression.

"Let's go, let's set off."

At Shen Xing's command, the Hippogryph beneath him carried him into the air.

Then, it flew towards the city center at a speed of seventy kilometers per hour.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the open-air parking lot next to the building.

Shen Xing opened her phone and sent a message in the group chat. "Have you arrived yet? If not, I'll go in and wait for you."

A short while later, Qin Lang replied with a message.

"We've arrived! We've seen you!"

Shen Xing looked up and saw two Xiao Hei appear in the sky.

Then, the two black dots rapidly enlarged, gradually transforming into two strange flying creatures.

On the left is a bird with a wingspan of only two meters, covered entirely in Pitch-Black Plume, and resembling a crow.

A tall figure sat on the seat, with a pair of slender legs draped over her sides.

On the right is a strange creature resembling a hippopotamus, but with a belly swollen like a balloon and a pair of small fleshy wings on its back.

Qin Lang's tall figure riding on this inflatable hippo looked inexplicably comical.

The two maneuvered their mounts to a smooth landing, then jumped off their backs.

"Shen Xing, you're here pretty fast." Qin Lang stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

Shen Xing nodded, then looked behind them. "You guys got a flying mount too?"

"Yeah, mine's Foul Gas Hippopotamus, Jiayi's is Shadow Monstrous Crow, both are Tier Two Elite monsters." Qin Lang asked with a smile, "So, isn't my hippo cooler?"

Shen Xing glanced at the hippo's swollen belly and said casually, "It is indeed quite handsome, but I'm just afraid it might suddenly explode halfway through, splashing our contents all over us."

"How could that be!" Qin Lang said righteously, "My Dabao is very strong; even ordinary Tier Two monsters can't damage it."

The hippopotamus next to it also grunted in protest.

Before it even opened its mouth, a puff of hot air shot out from its nostrils, followed by a pungent smell of rotting vegetation mixed with years of excrement.

The three of them immediately changed their expressions drastically.

"It stinks!" Xu Jiayi covered her nose, looking disgusted. "Stop showing off your new mount! Put it away right now, do you want to make us stink?"

Qin Lang was also a little embarrassed and quickly teleported his hippo back to the Land of Mist.

"Sorry, Dabao smells a bit bad, but it's really strong."

Qin Lang scratched his head, seemingly wanting to defend his pet. "Next time you have the chance, I'll show you its power."

"Come on, you can keep it for yourself to smell." Shen Xing rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. "Come on, let's go inside."

Next, they went straight to the trading area on the third floor.

Under the astonished gazes of Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi, Shen Xing went to a VIP room next to the lobby and completed the facial verification.

"Beep! Membership card!"

The doors slowly opened to both sides, revealing the luxurious interior.

"Wow, it's a VIP room!"

Qin Lang's eyes widened in disbelief. "I heard that only Gold Member who have spent over 10 million contribution points are eligible to enter. Shen Xing, when did you become so rich?"

Xu Jiayi, who was standing next to her, was also somewhat surprised.

"I don't have that much money. This upgrade was given to me for free by the Anomaly Handling Bureau," Shen Xing explained with a smile.
