Clearing Out the Shop, Kratos Chops the Osmanthus Tree (Continued)
"Yes."
Shen Xing clicked "OK" directly.
[Redeem successful!]

"Comfortable."
Shen Xing looked at the several new treasures in his backpack and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, I used the remaining 260,000 points to exchange for one Tier Four Material Box and six Tier Three material boxes.
The remaining few thousand points were all converted into Soul Stone, aiming to make the most of every single one.
"Next, check the attributes of those two new blueprints, and then place the nest."
"All the spoils we acquired this time have been consumed."
Shen Xing took the items out of his backpack and placed two thick books on his left and right thighs respectively.
The book on the left depicts a peculiar giant cannon, resembling some kind of chubby, chaotic monster, with tentacles covering its muzzle.
The book on the right depicts a vehicle with an equally peculiar design, resembling a giant mechanical beetle.
It is dark purple in color and has a three-layer structure.
[Devour Cannon Blueprint]
[Quality: Orange (Epic)]
[Description: An ancient Civilization created a special giant cannon by studying the power of chaos, possessing extremely powerful destructive force.]
[Attack Method: Gather chaotic energy, charge for 3 seconds, and then fire the 'Chaos Annihilation Cannon' at the enemy.]
It devours all enemies within a 300-meter radius and drags them into the chaotic space.
It then detonates after 2 seconds, dealing massive damage to all enemies within.
[Range: Maximum 3000 meters]
[Charging speed: 3.8 seconds]
[Energy Consumption: 1 Greater Soul Stone is consumed per shell]
[Crafting Requirements: Master Rank Forging Mastery, 10,000 Black Crystal Matrix, 1,000 Adamantite, 1,000 Invar Alloy, 10 Chaos Heishi]
(Note: The muzzle of this giant cannon looks like the mouth of some kind of monster, but I advise you not to have any strange thoughts.)
[Void Chariot Blueprint]
[Quality: Orange (Epic)]
[Blueprint Description: A special war chariot developed by an ancient Civilization, capable of briefly traversing chaos.]
[Maximum capacity: 500 (standard human-sized units; larger units require more space depending on their size)]
[Movement speed: Maximum 1200 km/h]
[Chariot Special Effect: Void Transformation (While moving, you can enter a void state. Evasion rate is increased by 50%, and all presence is concealed, allowing you to evade the detection of low-level enemies.)]
[Skill: Escape into the Void (Escape into the Void, become immune to all damage, and increase movement speed by 500%)]
Lasts 20 seconds, cooldown 5 minutes.
[Energy Consumption: Varies from 1 to 100 Greater Soul Stone per hour, depending on the vehicle's speed.]
[Crafting Requirements: Master Rank Forging Mastery, 10,000 Green Crystal Matrix, 1,000 Void Fragment, 1,000 Invar Alloy, 10 Chaos Heishi]
"This super cannon, with a range of 3,000 meters, can not only inflict fatal damage on Master Rank experts, but also inflicts a two-second soft-control effect."
"This is definitely a trump card-level heavy weapon."
"If we got a few more, wouldn't a single salvo wipe out a whole bunch of Master?"
Shen Xing couldn't help but imagine this scene, his heart surging with excitement.
Of course, he also knew that achieving this would not be easy.
Putting aside the consumption of each use of such a giant cannon, the materials required to forge it are not something that an ordinary lord can obtain.
Especially the last one, the [Chaos Heishi], Shen Xing had never even heard of it.
"I'll ask Ding Han later and see if he can get me this kind of material."
"Besides, the Void Chariot behind them are also very useful; try to build a few more."
After all, this kind of war chariot has a 50% evasion rate when it is in motion, and it can also conceal its presence.
Compared to the 'Hell War Chariot's' flamboyant style, which immediately draws attention wherever it goes, the 'Void Chariot' is clearly more practical.
In addition, it also possesses a remarkably powerful ability to survive: [Escape into the Void].
If used properly, it can save the lives of an entire busload of people in a critical moment.
"Excellent, those two blueprints were a worthwhile trade."
"It just so happens that I have Master Rank blacksmith in my territory. Let them do some research beforehand, and once the materials are gathered, we can start forging."
Shen Xing thought with satisfaction, and then used the Communication Crystal to summon the two blacksmiths, One-Eyed Logan and Lizardman Aqi.
A few minutes later, heavy footsteps were heard in the distance, accompanied by loud shouts.
"Oh! I have heard the great call!"
Before Logan even arrived, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's obvious it's our wise, mighty, and unparalleled lord!"
He approached, grinning, and said, "May I ask what business the handsome and powerful lord has with us?"
Shen Xing, too lazy to waste words with him, directly took out the two blueprints and looked at the lizardman beside him. "Master Aqi, go back and study the contents of the blueprints."
"We'll try to master it as soon as possible, and then start building a few units."
Aqi, the lizard man, was about to reach out and take it.
Logan, standing nearby, couldn't help but interrupt, "My lord, why are you only showing it to Master Aqi and not to me?"
"You can't understand them," Shen Xing replied calmly. "These two blueprints are too advanced; only Master Rank blacksmith could create them."
Logan paused slightly upon hearing this, then a smile gradually spread across his lips, "Hey! Lord, you probably don't know, do you?"
"Actually, I'm Master Rank blacksmith too."
"Huh?" Shen Xing was taken aback, looking at him curiously. "Really?"
"Of course!" Logan patted his chest. "With my unparalleled forging talent, plus a Xiao Xiao assistance from this territory, breaking through to the Master will be a piece of cake."
Aqi, the lizardman standing nearby, corroborated, "Master Logan did indeed break through; it happened the night before last."
"Ever since the lord placed a moon in the sky, everyone has been making rapid progress every day, as if blessed by the gods."
"The intermediate blacksmiths have all broken through to the next level, and there are now more than ten advanced blacksmiths in the territory."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing nodded in realization, understanding the whole story.
Clearly, this is the effect of the Moonlight Canopy in the Moon in the Sky.
After all, this thing can increase skill leveling speed by 200%, and it can also be applied to secondary profession skills.
Not only these blacksmiths, but other secondary professions in the territory have also seen significant improvements.
For example, a mid-level chef who is promoted to senior chef is able to cook more sophisticated food.
Advancing from intermediate to advanced carpentry allows you to carve more intricate patterns and decorate your territory.
At this rate, he will soon have a large number of highly skilled personnel.
"That's good, it seems you've been working really hard lately."
Shen Xing praised Logan, then continued, "However, you still can't be arrogant. You must maintain a humble heart and constantly remind yourself."
"I strive to break through the shackles of the Master level someday and become a Grandmaster Rank blacksmith."
Similarly, I will provide you with the corresponding assistance.
"Aha, I will definitely work hard and strive to break through as soon as possible!" Logan patted his chest and promised, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Once the lord brings my wife and children here, they'll be so proud of me when they see I've become a master Master!"
Shen Xing's heart stirred slightly upon hearing the last sentence.
He had previously planned to bring Logan's wife and children over, but he hadn't had the chance.
After all, Black Iron City is hundreds of kilometers away from the territory. The journey is long and the risks are too great, making it difficult to guarantee that they can be brought back safely.
Now, the Blood Mist Frenzy has ended, and the territory's strength has greatly increased, allowing it to move safely through the mist.
So he decided to send a small team out soon to take care of it.
"Alright, you can go now," Shen Xing instructed. "You all study these two blueprints together; it's a good opportunity to divide the work."
"Yes, my lord!"
Logan nodded solemnly, then prepared to turn and leave.
At this moment, Aqi, the lizardman, suddenly said, "My lord, I have something else I'd like to ask you."
"What is it?" Shen Xing looked at him curiously, after all, this lizardman chieftain had never asked him any questions before.
Aqi thought for a moment, then hesitated before saying, "A few days ago, I saw a short story recorded in a book."
"But I still can't understand its meaning, so I'd like to ask you for clarification."
Shen Xing became interested upon hearing this. "What little story?"
Aqi thought for a moment and replied, "That's what the book says: 'A dwarf was traveling in a boat when it ran aground. He tried to paddle it out, but lost his grip and fell into the water, which went up to his neck. The dwarf got up and angrily said, "Why did I have to run aground in such deep water!"...
"I pondered deeply, unable to grasp its meaning, but I always felt that this article contained some profound philosophical significance."
"I wonder if my lord can understand me?"
"..." Shen Xing glanced at the old patriarch speechlessly and retorted, "Damn it, did you catch it from Logan?"
"Uh..." Aqi asked with a puzzled look, "My lord, what do you mean by 'being infected by Master Logan '?"
