Materials Matched Successfully, the Little Girl Who Grows Mushrooms

[Upgrade Requirements: 100,000 Greater Soul Stone, 5,000 Giant Dragon Crystal Ingot, 10 Leader Rank Soul, 1 Tier Four Dragon Soul]

"Good heavens, the materials needed to hatch a dragon are even more outrageous."

"It actually requires a whopping 200,000 Soul Stone, tens of thousands of Black Crystal, and 20,000 kilograms of food."

"Even with my current Soul Stone reserves, it seems I can only hatch fewer than 20 Shadow Dragon at most..."

Shen Xing suddenly realized that the more than four million Soul Stone in his backpack didn't seem to be as much as he had imagined.

They couldn't even muster a single hundred-dragon legion.

Of course, as mentioned above.

The dragon hatched from 200,000 Soul Stone starts with the strength of Tier Three dragon, so it's definitely worth it.

After all, even if Shen Xing spent 10,000 Soul Stone to hatch a level 10 Boss Three Stars giant dragon, and then slowly leveled up, it would still take at least tens of thousands of Soul Stones to reach level 20.

In addition, purchasing Tier Three materials will incur another considerable expense.

"Therefore, overall, it's more cost-effective to spend 200,000 Soul Stone to directly recruit a three-star Leader Rank dragon."

Of course, the materials needed to hatch a dragon are not the most extravagant.

The most outrageous thing is the materials needed to upgrade the dragon's nest.

The Greater Soul Stone alone cost 100,000, which is equivalent to 5 million Soul Stone.

Moreover, he still needs 10 Tier Four Leader Rank Soul and one Tier Four BOSS dragon soul, which is simply beyond his ability to upgrade.

Fortunately, he still had a [Leader Rank Troop Nest Enhancement Stone], which allowed him to save these resources and upgrade directly.

"Not bad, not bad at all. These nine enhancement stones alone have saved me at least tens of millions of Soul Stone."

"Using truly high-quality steel where it's most needed maximizes its cost-effectiveness."

Shen Xing thought with satisfaction, then took out the last enhancement stone and proceeded with the upgrade.

"Buzz..."

A dense aura of shadow rose up, and the enormous dragon's lair began to stir, emitting a rumbling sound.

[Upgrading in progress, estimated time: 5 days 22 hours...]

"Slap! Slap!"

Shen Xing clapped his hands and nodded in satisfaction. "Next, let's check the various defensive works on the city wall and the upgrade status of the arrow towers, to prepare for tonight's monster tide."

Just as he was pushing his wheelchair, preparing to go to the outer city wall to take a look, he heard heavy footsteps in the distance.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

It was as if a giant was walking on the earth and rapidly approaching him.

Shen Xing looked up and saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

"Oh! My lord, you look wonderful today!"

Before Logan even arrived, his gruff voice boomed, "He looks like he's drunk some elven nectar, his whole body is glowing!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point," Shen Xing said speechlessly.

"It's like this, my lord," Logan said, scratching his head and smiling, "We recently built a batch of Storm Crossbow Bolt Launcher, so we'd like to invite you to take a look."

"Oh? It's already built?"

Shen Xing was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected them to be so efficient.

"That's right!" Logan laughed proudly. "Master Aqi and I are quite skilled. Although the manufacturing process of this kind of turret is complicated, it's not a problem for us."

"Okay, let's go take a look."

After saying that, Shen Xing used his Thought Control the wheelchair, slowly gliding it towards the blacksmith's shop.

Logan followed behind with heavy strides, his one eye fixed on the lord's back, then on the wheelchair beneath him.

"My lord, I see you're becoming increasingly adept at maneuvering your wheelchair," Logan asked with a smile. "How about it? Isn't the 'Flame Dragon' I built quite practical?"

"It's alright." Shen Xing nodded casually.

"Ha ha!" Having gained the lord's approval, the cyclops laughed even more heartily, "I knew it! Master Logan's invention is the greatest."

"As you grow stronger, my lord, this wheelchair will accompany you to victory after victory, allowing all living beings in the Land of Mist to witness its power!"

"At that time, Master Logan's name will resound throughout the entire Mist World!"

Hearing his boastful words, Shen Xing looked at him strangely, wondering how this guy could make such a far-fetched connection.

Furthermore, isn't it a bit strange for a blacksmith to want to become famous for a wheelchair?

Those famous Master are known for their masterpieces, such as divine swords or magic wands.

But Logan remained oblivious and continued his rambling, "My lord, I'm thinking of further improving the Flame Dragon wheelchair and launching even stronger second and third generation versions."

"How about you give me another batch of orcs later, and I teach them how to use wheelchairs?"

"Huh?" Shen Xing was taken aback and asked in confusion, "It's fine if you improve the wheelchair, but what are you going to do with training those orcs?"

"It's fine if you improve the wheelchair, but what are you going to do with training those orcs?"

Shen Xing looked at the one-eyed giant in front of him and asked in confusion.

"Of course, we'll have them fight in wheelchairs!" Logan replied without hesitation. "Think about it, the Flame Dragon wheelchair itself possesses extremely powerful explosive force, as well as extremely high mobility."

"They are also more agile than warhorses and dire wolves, and cheaper to manufacture."

"We could easily have a group of orcs control wheelchairs and charge into the enemy ranks instead of on foot, Charge and slashing their way through."

"If we get surrounded, we can simply activate the self-destruct function on the wheelchair."

"When the time comes, we can simply assemble a wheelchair Charge team; they'll be absolutely invincible!"

Shen Xing's expression became even more strange after hearing this guy's idea.

What do you mean by letting a bunch of orcs in wheelchairs charge into the enemy ranks and hack and slash? Is that even reasonable?

But you know what, you really shouldn't say it.

This idea actually has some merit.

After all, orcs are the cheapest unit, and even recruiting a large number of Elite Three Stars isn't expensive.

These wheelchairs are not expensive to manufacture, but they are indeed very powerful and mobile.

When combined, they can achieve a result greater than the sum of their parts.

One orc plus a wheelchair can take down at least a dozen enemies of the same level.

He's just a bit of a useless person.

"My lord, what do you think of my tactic?" Logan asked expectantly.

Shen Xing glanced at him and said indifferently, "We'll talk about it later. The primary goal right now is to build more Storm Crossbow Bolt Launcher and Hell Cannons."

"Many units are still not equipped; your mission is still very important."

"Alright..." The cyclops nodded, slightly disappointed.

But she quickly became excited again, chattering away in Shen Xing's ear about dwarves and blacksmithing.

A few minutes later, the two finally arrived near the blacksmith's shop.

More than thirty uniquely designed war machines were placed on the open ground nearby.

Each one is over three meters tall, with a crossbow arm over four meters long, and a pair of outstretched metal wings at both ends.

Beneath the heavy base, there is a movable hidden compartment that can store dozens of crossbow bolts.

It is the golden weapon of war— the Storm Crossbow Bolt Launcher!

Logan stepped forward and introduced, "My lord, Master Aqi and I have crafted a total of thirty-four [Storm Crossbow Bolt Launcher]."

"Those lizardmen with Intermediate Forging Mastery are specifically responsible for crafting Storm Crossbow Bolt, and their current Arrows exceeds three thousand!"

"This is the most powerful weapon of war we have ever created; it can easily pierce the heart of a row of Tier Three monsters!"

Shen Xing was very satisfied when he heard the number.

Three thousand crossbow bolts, and they can be retrieved after being used up, should be enough for the territory for a while.

Perfect timing, tonight is the launch day of the new expansion.

"Good, keep up the good work, and continue to build more launch pads and crossbows," Shen Xing encouraged.

"Yes, my lord!"

Logan readily agreed, then turned and went back to the blacksmith's shop to continue his work.

Shen Xing then used the 'communication crystal' to summon a group of orcs and had them push the Storm Crossbow Bolt onto the city wall in preparation for tonight's monster tide.

Then, he took a stroll around the outer city wall and counted the number of defensive towers and weapons in the territory.

There are a total of:

64 Tier 2 Holy Light Beacon

254 level 2 Cold Ice Arrow Tower

114 level 3 Flame Arrow Tower

43 level 4 Lightning Tower

135 Hell War Chariot

Demon Flame Turret *245

Storm Crossbow Bolt Launcher * 34

"Not bad, over four hundred defensive towers and war machines, plus over a hundred Tree Spirit Guard and Ancient Tree of War."

"As long as the incoming monster horde isn't too outrageous in size, we can easily hold them off."

A sense of satisfaction welled up in Shen Xing's heart.

After all, these were all assets he had painstakingly accumulated over several months in the Land of Mist.

After taking inventory, he jumped down from the city wall, preparing to inspect the territory's logistics.

At that moment, the communication crystal in his pocket became slightly warm, as if someone was trying to contact him.

Shen Xing took out the crystal and held it to his ear to listen. A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side.

"My lord, it is Kyle, I have returned from Black Hawk City!"

"Oh? The beast tamer is back?"

Shen Xing was slightly surprised. About a week ago, he sent a small orc squad to escort Kyle to Black Hawk City to deliver a message.
