Thousandfold Acceleration, Silver Moon Meditation Method! (Continued)

"Alright." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man no longer insisted. "Then I'll be going now. You should focus on your breakthrough as soon as possible."

"Keep a close eye on those people locked up in the dungeon; they're a crucial part of our plan."

He gave a few instructions, then turned and walked alone out of the city.

Meanwhile, outside, a Fine- equipped army of over 20,000 men is standing in neat formation.

Time flies like an arrow.

Soon, it was late at night.

In the western part of the territory, in the underground area, there are rows of square rooms connected together, forming a huge mushroom cultivation base.

At this moment, the workers had all returned to their rooms to rest, and the entire basement was completely quiet.

At that moment, a girl dressed in a linen dress and carrying a small basket was walking alone into the depths of the basement.

She went into a room in the corner, gently squatted down, and placed the bamboo basket on the ground.

Then he took out a palm-sized, transparent mushroom from the basket that looked like a jellyfish.

As the girl clasped her hands together and gently rubbed them, wisps of powder spilled from her palms and landed on the transparent mushroom below.

As if receiving some kind of magic, the surface of the mushroom shimmered with light, and gradually a strange human face emerged.

Her skin was as pale as porcelain, her dark purple lips were slightly pursed, and her two slender, willow-leaf eyebrows were raised.

Her deep purple pupils moved, finally settling on the girl.

"Natalie, how's the task I asked you to do going?"

The aloof and authoritative voice came through the mushroom, causing the girl to tremble slightly.

"Mother... Mother... hasn't..." she whispered.

The face inside the mushroom frowned slightly and asked, "Is that kid being so cautious? He hasn't succeeded after all this time?"

Didn't I tell you that you could sacrifice your looks if necessary?

The girl lowered her head and remained silent, seemingly unsure how to answer.

"Never mind." The eerie human face sighed and didn't press further. "This afternoon, I sensed two terrifying auras erupting, seemingly coming from the direction of this territory."

Do you know what happened?

The girl hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"Hmm?" The eerie-looking man raised an eyebrow. "Such a commotion, you didn't know?"

The girl remained silent and continued to shake her head.

Seeing her reaction, the face inside the mushroom frowned, and a pair of deep purple pupils swept over her, as if trying to see through her heart.

A moment later, she seemed to realize something, and a strange smile curved her lips.

"Heh... you little brat, are you lovesick?" The man sneered. "Just a few days, and you've already lost your mind over that kid?"

Natalie was startled and hurriedly stammered, "No... no..."

"It seems I was right." Seeing her reaction, the Mushroom Queen was certain of her guess.

Having existed for hundreds of years, this person, though spending most of her time underground, has witnessed far too much.

In her eyes, Natalie was still too naive.

"Interesting..." The Mushroom Queen's lips curled into a cold smile, "This queen is truly curious, what is it about that kid that he has that made him so captivating so quickly?"

Tell me, what happened?

Upon hearing this question, the girl gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with her small hands, lowered her head, and remained silent.

"You won't talk, huh?" The Mushroom Queen looked at her coldly. "In that case, I, the Queen, will personally take action and directly spread highly poisonous spores throughout this territory!"

"Let that kid, and the entire territory, be devoured by these poisonous mushrooms!"

"No... no..." Natalie shook her head frantically, fear flashing in her eyes.

Seeing her reaction, the Mushroom Queen was stunned, her face filled with disbelief. "You actually... defied me for a kid you've only known for a few days!"

"I am your mother!"

The Mushroom Queen's eyes widened. She had only meant to scare the girl, but she hadn't expected the girl to react so strongly.

"Natalie, it seems you've completely fallen for her." She said coldly, "For an outsider, you've even disowned me, haven't you?"

"No... no..." the girl hurriedly replied, "Fish... there are fish here..."

"Huh?" The Mushroom Queen paused, then asked instinctively, "What kind of fish?"

"Soul... Soul Crystal Bream..."

The Mushroom Queen paused for a moment, then asked, "You mean, those special fish in the Blackwater River can nurture Soul Crystal within their bodies?"

"Mmm!" Natalie nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

After receiving a definite response, the Mushroom Queen pondered for a moment.

Then a look of admiration appeared in her eyes. "This kid, not only did he manage to steal my Dragon Vein Mushroom, but he also obtained this Rare fish. He truly is a person of great fortune."

She paused, then seemed to realize something, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Natalie, you don't want your mother to harm him, or this territory, right?"

The girl subconsciously shook her head, then nodded.

"In that case, go and steal two sea bream for Mother," the Mushroom Queen said with a light laugh. "If you can do it, I promise I'll never bother him again."

"Including the theft of the Dragon Vein Mushroom, let's call it even, shall we?"

The girl pondered for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

The following day, at dawn.

The Sacred Flame Platform emitted a bright flame, providing light and heat to the entire territory.

The Moon in the Sky slowly rotated in the sky, casting a soft moonlight.

The workers woke up on time from their respective residences and began their day's work.

Everyone wore a happy smile and was full of energy.

Today is the third day after the end of the Blood Mist Frenzy.

There's only one week left until the opening of the Myriad Worlds Arena.

In the eastern part of the territory, in the center of the Lotus Pond, a group of generals stood up and looked at a tall, bald orc.

He was enveloped in red light, and his aura grew increasingly powerful.

After reaching a certain limit, the system notification will appear as expected.

[Ding! Your territory hero: Hellscream has successfully advanced to Overlord ★★★!]

[This breakthrough grants a 15% increase to all attributes and an additional 3000 Agility!]

At this moment, Hellscream, having completed his breakthrough, opened his eyes and felt the increased power within his body.

Then he bowed respectfully to the young man in the distance.

"Thank you, Lord, for making me stronger!"

Shen Xing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright, just keep working hard and reach the maximum level of Tier Three as soon as possible."

Through these past few days of evolution, the newly promoted Master in the territory have basically all improved to a high level.

Apart from Black Arrow, Xiao Hei, and Paratrooper Number One, who are still Boss, everyone else has broken through to the Overlord and reached Overlord Two-Star to three stars.

Then, he glanced at his resource reserves.

[Soul Stone * 196 million]

"After these few days of upgrades and construction, as well as the acceleration of the Lotus Pond, nearly thirty million Soul Stone have been consumed."

"We still have nearly 200 million on hand, so our reserves are quite sufficient."

After a moment's thought, Shen Xing quickly made a decision. "In that case, let's activate the thousandfold acceleration directly."

"One week remains until the opening of the Myriad Worlds Arena."

"If Time Acceleration a thousandfold, it's equivalent to twenty years passing in the Lotus Pond."

"This is enough to level up all Tier Four units in the territory to the maximum level."

"At the same time, the sea bream in the Lotus Pond will successfully nurture the first batch of Soul Crystal."

"Then, I can use these Soul Crystal to help Leina or other generals break through and advance to the Grandmaster level!"

"At that time, I will be more confident in facing the powerful figures of the Red Sand World."

He thought about it with great hope, but of course, it was just wishful thinking.

As the saying goes, imagination is beautiful, but reality is harsh.

To accomplish all of the above, there are still many problems to be solved.

The first issue is the consumption of Soul Stone.

With Time Acceleration of a thousand times, a fixed 24 million Soul Stone are needed per day.

If we include the consumption of the troops in the Lotus Pond, this number would double, reaching nearly 48 million Soul Stone per day.

In addition to these, Shen Xing also needs to build city walls, arrow towers, mass-produce troops, and so on...

If he doesn't control it, he'll finish creating those two hundred million Soul Stone in four days at most.

"In that case... let's use the 1000x speed boost for three and a half days."

"Based on a daily consumption of nearly 50 million Soul Stone, it would take approximately 170 million Soul Stone to consume."

"The remaining 20 million will be used to mass-produce troops and upgrade the city walls."

"Based on this calculation, exactly ten years have passed inside the Lotus Pond, which is roughly enough time for all Tier Four troops to reach their maximum level."

"Then maintain the 100x speed and wait for the Myriad Worlds Arena to open."

Shen Xing quickly considered the matter in his mind and soon made a decision.

Then, he looked at the generals in the Lotus Pond and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, I will now activate a period of 1000x acceleration."

"Everyone, keep up your training and try to reach the maximum level."

The group exchanged glances and responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"
