Hundredfold Acceleration, an All-Out Sprint, Heavenly Star's Counterattack! (Continued)
I glanced at the attributes.
[Invar Alloy Fragment]
[Item Description: A special alloy that can exist in chaos, containing stable chaotic energy, which can be used to construct chaotic-themed buildings]
[Effect: 100 Invar Alloy Fragment can be combined to create one 'Stable Invar Alloy'.]
"So these are the materials used to build the Chaos Details. They're quite important."
After all, if he can make it into the top 100 this time, he will receive a [Level 5 Chaos Arrow Tower Blueprint] as a reward.
To build such arrow towers, [Invar Alloy] is required.
If possible, he would also like to replace the other [Level 5 Wall of Chaos Blueprint].
Currently, his territory contains a level 4 [Lightning Tower] and a level 3 [Alloy City Wall].
Following the normal upgrade path, upgrading a level 4 Lightning Tower or Arrow Tower will lead to a level 5 [Holy Light Retribution Tower], which is enough to pose a deadly threat to Master Rank creatures.
As for city walls, level 3 [Alloy City Wall] goes up to level 4 [Black Crystal City Wall], and then level 5 [Dragon Bone City Wall].
This level of city wall can also effectively withstand attacks from Master Rank experts, but its construction cost is equally staggering.
Generally speaking, only those giant cities or the territories of veteran Master Rank powerhouses have level 5 city walls.
However, the [Chaos Arrow Tower] and [Wall of Chaos] that can be redeemed in this event sound more powerful than normal level 5 buildings.
"We'll see when the time comes. Let's distribute the souls first and convert them into combat power."
"By the way... since the Blood Mist Frenzy occurs between midnight and 6 AM, there's an 18-hour rest period in between."
"We can't let this go to waste..."
Shen Xing originally planned to let the soldiers go back and take turns resting.
But after seeing the profits that evening, he changed his mind.
After all, he earned 1.35 million Soul Stone in just one night.
Even though the cannons and arrow towers last night consumed 240,000 Soul Stone, there are still 1,110,000 Soul Stone left.
The rate at which this resource is acquired far exceeds the rate at which it is consumed.
"In that case... let's continue to gather the troops in the Lotus Pond for upgrades."
"After all, according to the system prompts, the difficulty of this Blood Mist Frenzy is constantly increasing."
"If I can get my other generals to break through to the Tier Four soon, it will greatly increase the strength of my territory, and I might be able to gain even more points."
Thinking of this, Shen Xing said in a deep voice, "Everyone!"
As soon as the lord gave the order, all the troops shuddered and turned their gazes in that direction.
"Everyone worked hard last night."
"But the crisis is not over yet; even tougher battles await us."
So, do you want to rest, or do you want to continue getting stronger?
The soldiers exchanged glances and shouted in unison, "We're not tired! We want to keep getting stronger!"
"Very good." Shen Xing nodded in satisfaction and continued, "In that case, all the generals, take these souls and distribute them to the brothers who contributed the most last night."
"Then everyone, follow me into the Lotus Pond to cultivate."
"Next, I will activate Time Acceleration and provide an unlimited supply of Soul Stone."
"Troops that have already reached the maximum level do not need to enter the Lotus Pond; you are responsible for guarding the territory."
Although the Red Mist Frenzy occurs at night, monsters will still attack the territory at other times, just not as intensely as at night.
"Yes, my lord!"
The soldiers responded enthusiastically, their hearts filled with motivation.
Then, the generals received the soul fragments from Shen Xing and distributed them according to the number of enemies killed the previous night.
Of course, characters like Hellscream and Luna are not included in the soul allocation process.
After distributing and digesting all the hundreds of souls, the territory's strength increased significantly.
Then, led by their generals, these troops surged toward the eastern district of the territory.
They quickly entered the Lotus Pond, lined up in an orderly fashion, and waited for the lord to activate the Time Acceleration.
Shen Xing didn't rush into the Lotus Pond. Instead, he took out the crystal and asked, "Wanyin, how did it go last night?"
The communication crystal was silent for a moment, then a familiar response came through. "It's fine. There weren't many monsters attacking my territory, and we easily held them off."
"And they even dropped 200,000 Soul Stone!"
"Not bad." Shen Xing nodded slightly, then asked, "Would you like to come to my territory to level up during the day? I'm planning to continue using Time Acceleration later."
"Great!" Xia Wanyin readily agreed, saying happily, "I recently recruited another batch of Light Spirit, and it's time for them to level up."
"Okay, then come over here."
Shen Xing hung up the call and maneuvered his wheelchair to the Lotus Pond.
Soon, Xia Wanyin arrived in the territory with two of her heroes and a legion of Light Spirit.
After everyone entered the Lotus Pond, Shen Xing immediately activated 100x speed!
That's right, a hundred times!
Anyway, he can earn a million Soul Stone a day now.
Even with 100x speed-up enabled, it only costs 100,000 Soul Stone per hour, enough to sustain ten hours of consumption.
In this way, they spent 1,000 hours inside the Lotus Pond, which is equivalent to a full 41 days!
At this speed, a newly recruited level 10 Infernal can even reach the maximum level of 19.
Even tier Tier Three units can be upgraded by one or two levels.
In two or three days at most, generals like Hellscream and Leina will be able to reach the maximum level of Tier Three, and then they can absorb materials and start the Master Trial.
"We can't waste the remaining points; let's exchange all 10 [Tier Four Material Box] first."
"After all, the materials from these boxes are random. If I don't get the ones I need, the Anomaly Handling Bureau can help me find a match."
"It's currently the event period, and many people probably share the same thought as me, so the material matching speed should be much faster."
"In this way, we might be able to get all the generals in the territory to break through to the Master Realm before the Blood Mist Frenzy ends."
Shen Xing said with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. Please call me the Time Management Master."
Next, he opened the Points Shop, ready to redeem a [Tier Four Material Treasure Chest].
However, I currently only have 560,000 points, which is enough to redeem a maximum of two.
Lord Shen simply exchanged them all.
[Would you like to spend 400,000 points to exchange for Tier Four Material Box?]
(Note: Points will not decrease after they are used.)
"Yes."
He clicked "confirm," and 400,000 points were instantly consumed.
Clang! Clang!
With a flash of light, two ancient black boxes appeared out of thin air and crashed onto the cold stone surface.
Shen Xing chose to "start" together.
"Buzz..."
The lid of the box was slowly lifted, and two bright beams of light burst forth from the seams.
After the radiance dissipated, a special object appeared inside each of them.
The box on the left looks like a gem, while the one on the right contains a rolling eye.
[Obtained: Advanced Material - Agate Heart (Tier Four)]
[Obtained: Advanced Material - Broodmother's Eye (Tier Four)]
"Unfortunately, none of them are for my own use."
"Why are my dozens of luck points useless now?" Shen Xing said with a slight regret.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. The number of troops in the Land of Mist is numerous, numbering in the thousands if not tens of thousands.
Finding the one you want from so many varieties is no easy task.
Fortunately, there is Fang Ping, which saves all the Pioneer a lot of time.
It is said that when Blue Star first came into contact with the Land of Mist, in the early stages of its development, there was no official government at that time.
After obtaining the advancement materials, the lords would communicate using slang on certain websites and match with other players.
After finding a suitable match, they would travel to various cities to conduct transactions privately.
Of course, this model is extremely risky, comparable to telecom fraud.
When you arrive at the transaction location, you'll find that instead of other lords, you'll be met with honey traps, kidnappings, extortion, and the like.
After all, these advanced materials were too expensive. Even a single Common Tier Two material was worth millions back then, making it worth the risk for many people.
Even if you use mail, there are risks, such as receiving fake packages, plastic models, etc.
Furthermore, you couldn't file a complaint with the authorities, since the Land of Mist hadn't been revealed yet at that time.
The chaos was only brought to an end with the arrival of the Anomaly Handling Bureau.
"Let's place a door-to-door delivery order first, and let the bureau match it up gradually."
"Anyway, I still have three Tier Four materials in my backpack that I haven't used yet, so I'm not in a hurry."
Shen Xing quickly exited the Land of Mist and completed a series of operations on his phone.
Then return to the territory and immediately activate 100x Time Acceleration.
"Buzz—"
A mysterious power surged from the depths of the Lotus Pond, as if dragging the entire Lotus Pond space into another dimension.
Everything outside slowed down drastically, but the people inside remained unchanged.
Thousands of soldiers seized the time and did their best to absorb the Soul Stone in front of them.
Outside the Lotus Pond, squads of fully-leveled troops were patrolling the city walls, while others had returned to their rooms to rest.
The defensive towers continuously unleashed various attacks, shooting down all the monsters that emerged from the red mist.
The entire territory has entered a state of high alert.
