Nimue's Porridge, the Fallen Master

"Hopefully I can get a few that I can use myself."

He took a deep breath and opened the six Tier Four Material Box first.

"Buzz..."

The lid of the box slowly opened, revealing a kaleidoscope of colors.

As the noise subsided, six different items lay quietly inside.

Shen Xing waved his hand and put them all into his backpack.

[Obtained: Primal Poisonous Spore *1]

[Obtained: Protozoan Fossil *1]

[Obtained: 1 Dark Gold Ancient Wood]

[Obtained: Wild Ancestral Totem *1]

[Obtained: Hellfire Seed *1]

[Obtained: Ancient Slime Slime *1]

Chapter 266: Nimue's Porridge, The Fallen Master

At this moment, Shen Xing stood on the open ground of his territory.

Looking at the materials unpacked from the six boxes, he felt increasingly satisfied.

"That's right, the fourth item, the Wild Ancestral Totem, and the fifth item, the Hellfire Seed, belong to the Orcs and Infernal units respectively, and both can be used."

"Looks like those dozens of luck points I had weren't wasted."

While the iron was hot, he opened another 14 [Tier Three Material Boxes].

I was lucky again this time; out of the 14 items, 4 were useful for territory troops.

They are: one Black Moon Knight, one Silver Moon Knight, one Dretch, and one Werewolf.

After opening the box, Shen Xing immediately switched back to Blue Star.

Then I logged into the Pioneer Forum and placed an order for door-to-door pickup.

In this way, he now has 6 Tier Four materials and 10 Tier Three materials in the matching process.

If you can find all the matches you need, it will be enough to bring about a qualitative change in the strength of your territory.

After finishing these tasks, Shen Xing re-entered the Land of Mist.

As soon as his consciousness returned to his territory, he saw a double-axe orc striding towards him.

"Boss, everything has been collected. Please take a look!"

Da Hou the report aloud and handed over the backpack he was carrying.

Shen Xing took it and deftly transferred all the resources inside into his backpack.

In an instant, a barrage of notifications flashed before my eyes.

[Received: 1,732,500 Soul Stone]

[Received: 2549 Greater Soul Stone]

[Obtained: Bright Elite Soul (including fragments) * 673]

[Obtained: Dazzling Boss Soul (including fragments) * 83]

[Obtained: Brilliant Boss Soul (including fragments) *9]

[Obtained: Invar Alloy Fragment * 325192]

"The Soul Stone harvest exceeded 3 million, double that of yesterday."

A look of satisfaction spread across Shen Xing's face as he remarked, "While this Blood Mist Frenzy challenge is quite difficult, it's definitely a great place to quickly acquire resources."

"At this rate, I can obtain at least 20 million Soul Stone in ten days."

This is an astonishing number, which goes without saying.

They searched through more than two hundred lords' rooms in the maze and only obtained ten million Soul Stone.

"Twenty million Soul Stone is almost enough for me to expand the city walls of my territory once again."

"Then we'll raise the Sacred Flame Platform a bit more, making it completely border with Xia Wanyin's territory—perfect!"

Shen Xing thought with satisfaction, and then, as usual, distributed the hundreds of souls according to their contributions.

As a powerful surge of spiritual energy rose, the soldiers once again underwent a transformative Metamorphosis in their potential.

The success rate is about the same as before, both above 80%.

"Next, let's replenish our forces and then activate the Lotus Pond acceleration again."

Last night's gains were considerable, but we also suffered significant losses.

The orcs suffered the most casualties, with a total of fifty-three Tier Two orcs sacrificing their lives.

There's nothing that can be done about it; after all, they are melee units, taking the most damage and having the highest mortality rate, so it's normal for them to be the ones with the highest mortality rate.

Secondly, there were the skeleton archers; more than thirty of them were killed in the midnight raid.

In addition, twenty melee units, including Black Moon Knight and Infernal, also died.

After obtaining this number, Lord Shen felt a pang of heartache.

After all, these were elite soldiers he had trained with a lot of resources, each starting at the Tier Two and possessing the potential to be at least Elite Two Stars or higher.

However, compared to the returns, these are just a drop in the ocean.

Shen Xing comforted himself and then prepared to head towards the northern district of the territory.

But then he witnessed an unexpected scene.

A group of unusual figures had appeared on the open ground below.

Dressed in coarse linen clothes and carrying shovels and hoes, they were helping other soldiers clear the battlefield and fill in the craters.

"Huh? Why are these workers here too?"

Shen Xing was somewhat surprised, after all, he had not given the workers any orders to clean up the battlefield.

He maneuvered his wheelchair to a dark-skinned young man and asked, "Monday, did you bring them here?"

The young man put away his hoe and replied respectfully, "My lord, it wasn't me; the workers came to help on their own initiative."

"They said the soldiers are fighting valiantly on the front lines, and as a member of this territory, although I can't go to the front, I still want to do my part."

He paused, then added, "But please rest assured, we won't neglect our fieldwork; we'll work an extra two hours tonight to make up for it!"

Shen Xing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

As mentioned earlier, this is a real world, and even the lowest-ranking laborers and slaves in the territory are complete individuals.

Although they may not be very intelligent, they know who treats them well and who mistreats them.

Compared to where I used to live, this territory is simply paradise.

Not only can they enjoy delicious food every day, but they also have ample time for rest and recreation.

The lord treated them with sincerity and regarded them as his own people.

Such a perfect territory is worth protecting with their lives!

"No need to work overtime. You can continue working as before."

Shen Xing smiled, then took out more than two hundred [Common Soul]: "Distribute them to the workers, one for each person."

These workers, as native inhabitants, can naturally also enhance their potential, although the attribute improvement is very small compared to combat units.

But it can also greatly improve their physical condition.

Fortunately, Shen Xing's territory no longer has any troops below the Elite, so it would be a waste not to use these souls.

On Monday, upon seeing the soul in the lord's hand, a profound sense of shock and emotion welled up in his eyes.

He accepted it solemnly, then knelt down, his forehead touching the ground. "Thank you, my generous and benevolent lord!"

"You possess a divinely broad mind; we will forever remember your blessings!"

Shen Xing waved his hand, signaling him to get up.

Then, he pushed his wheelchair to the open space on the other side.

He looked up at the novel sight before him.

At that moment, the clam girl Nimue, along with her cooks, pushed a row of small carts in a line.

A large wooden barrel sat on the vehicle, steaming and filled the air with the rich aroma of wheat and milk.

"Everyone, come and have some porridge!" Nimue waved to the distance.

The soldiers had been fighting all night, and their strength was greatly depleted.

The strong aroma immediately whetted their appetites, and they swarmed toward this place.

"Everyone, please line up in an orderly fashion!" Nimue commanded the soldiers. "We've prepared plenty; everyone will get some, so don't rush."

Although the soldiers were all eager, they still lined up in an orderly fashion.

A dozen or so cooks kept ladling steaming hot wheat porridge from wooden buckets and handing it to the soldiers.

Looking at the plump grains of wheat in the bowl and the aroma that kept wafting into their noses, they could no longer Endurance.

He picked up the large bowl and couldn't wait to pour it into his mouth.

With a few gulps, he finished the whole bowl.

"Oh! By the Beast God, this wheat porridge is absolutely delicious!"

"That's right, it's ten thousand times more delicious than Goblin brains!"

"As expected of our territory's top chef, she's as beautiful as a pearl, and her cooking is delicious!"

The beastmen licked their lips, still savoring the moment, and were generous with their praise for the clam girl.

With a sweet smile, Nimue explained, "No, it wasn't just me who did it; everyone helped!"

Upon hearing this, the beastmen also showered the other large-bottomed cooks with praise, making them blush with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Shen Xing nodded with satisfaction. "Nimue is such a thoughtful girl, getting up in the middle of the night to cook porridge for the soldiers."

"However... precisely because she made this porridge, I'm a little worried."

"We need to check to make sure nothing strange has been added."

"If the soldiers get sick from the food and can't go to the battlefield tonight, that would be a real problem."

Thinking of this, Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair to the side of the convoy.
