However, he usually goes out late at night, so he hardly ever runs into anyone.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

A dozen minutes later, the elevator stopped on the ground floor.

Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair out of the elevator and walked alone on the empty street.

The dim streetlights cast long shadows on the ground, and the only sound was the soft rustling of wheels rolling over the concrete pavement.

"To be honest, someone like me, with limited mobility and going out alone late at night, is practically the perfect target for some criminals, right?"

Shen Xing had considered the possibility that he might be attacked by thugs or extorted by the blond-haired man.

But Jiangcheng's public security is quite good; at least before he came across that game, he had never encountered any accidents.

Of course, even if something unexpected happens, he is not afraid.

After all, he is now a level 5 Pioneer, and he has eaten a lot of Bone Fruit and Flesh Fruit in the past few days, which has greatly improved his attributes.

In addition, he has mastered two major skills: [Hand of the Void] and [Hellfire Fireball].

It's no exaggeration to say that if I used my full strength, taking down a squad of a hundred people would be no problem at all.

A single fireball could even destroy a building.

In an urban novel, I'd be a master at blowing up buildings!

Lost in thought about all sorts of things, I had already arrived at the riverbank.

A cool night breeze caressed my cheeks, and the lights of thousands of homes on both banks were reflected on the river, swaying gently with the ripples.

In this situation, Shen Xing only wanted to compose a poem.

"Dajiang... cough cough, never mind."

He coughed twice, looked around, and thankfully there was no one nearby.

After quietly admiring the night view for a while, he pushed his wheelchair back towards the rented room.

I didn't encounter any drunken blonde girls passed out on the street, nor did I meet any homeless high school girls looking for a stranger's house to stay at.

After all, this is just one of his thousands of daily routines; if something unexpected were to happen, that would truly be a miracle.

This left Shen Xing, who had initially been somewhat hopeful, a little disappointed.

Back in my rented room, I turned on my phone and saw many messages in the discussion group.

"Cilantro Who Loves to Play! I finally upgraded Master of Shadows to Elite Two Stars! Isn't that awesome, Brother Qin?" (Awesome!)

I Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat, "It's barely passable. I've already got my third Elite Two Stars, and the Stone Golem is almost Elite Rank too. Little Qin, you still need to work harder."

Cilantro Who Loves to Play: "Holy crap? Is it really that exaggerated? Just because you pulled a starting two-star unit, you're so much ahead of me!?"

Qin Lang sent a bunch of poop-throwing emojis.

Xu Jiayi threw it back, and even threw a big one at him.

Cilantro Who Loves to Play: "Fine, I won't compete with you two perverts. I'll just wait for you two to carry me."

"By the way, I recently found two good study materials, I'll send them to you Spark."

Shen Xing scoffed. Did she think she was that kind of person?

I immediately had him send it over, ready to offer some criticism.

I Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat, "You guys are hoarding it all, huh? Post it in the group chat, I want to see it too!"

Left with no other choice, Qin Lang could only forward it to the discussion group.

Shen Xing smiled and saw that Xia Wanyin had also sent him a few messages.

As before, it's mostly about everyday life.

However, among this information was a peculiar photograph that caught Shen Xing's attention.

In the photo, Xia Wanyin is wearing a white dress, white stockings, and high white Mary Jane shoes. She is lying on the sofa in a lazy posture, holding a small cake in her hand.

Long, slender, fair legs; a waist so thin it could be encircled by one hand; and a high, rounded...

Huh? No, you're using this to test your cadres?

Chapter 49: Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons, Preparing for Battle in the Mist Void Realm!

Shen Xing looked at the photos Xia Wanyin sent and gave them a serious critique.

Because the characters in the game are 100% synchronized with reality.

So what you look like in the game is basically what you look like in real life.

But now, because of her white dress, white socks, and white shoes, she seems... even more captivating than in the game?

Was it intentional, or accidental?

It was probably an accident. After all, she can't see, so she probably didn't know how the photos turned out when she posted them.

Shen Xing replied with a few words without changing his expression, then switched to the background and silently opened another software.

Don't overthink it, this is the Huaguo Pioneers Forum.

Open the local section, and a striking post immediately appears.

Shocking! The fastest player to advance in Jiangcheng's history has been born! He went from Tier One to Transcendent in just half a month and boasts that he will take the top spot in the Void Realm!

Are you from UC News's Shocking News Department?

But it must be said, this guy succeeded.

Shen Xing was also drawn in and clicked on it.

The post was about a player named Gu Feng who was incredibly talented, having trained Elite Rank troops in just three days.

Moreover, they possess outstanding combat talent, boasting a glorious record of defeating Elite Three Stars units while being Elite Two Stars unit.

Recently, they also trained a Tier Two Transcendent Rank unit, which greatly increased their strength.

It is said that he is also preparing to participate in the 'Mist Void Realm' this time, vowing to defeat all the masters and win first place.

Judging from this information alone, Gu Feng certainly has the talent of a genius.

However, there is a note below the post that this person's father is Gu Xizhou, a Tier Three Expert Rank lord.

Shen Xing couldn't help but complain, "Damn, so he's a second-generation lord."

No way! You already have such an awesome father, and you still want to compete with us for resources and rankings in the Mist Void Realm? Isn't that going too far?!

Of course, Shen Xing also knew that this was because the resources in the Mist Void Realm were indeed quite good.

Moreover, for these second-generation lords, the most important thing is the ranking, which not only represents a reward but also an honor.

Similarly, there were many people who disagreed with him in the comments section of the post.

Second floor. "Isn't it too early to draw conclusions? Gu Feng is indeed very strong, but a one-star secret realm can't summon Tier Two Transcendent troops. It won't be so easy for him to take first place."

Third floor. "Yes, and there are quite a few powerful experts from the Void Realm this time. It's said that even Yu Feifei, the Jaguar, will be participating. She's a ruthless person who can take on entire classes single-handedly!"

Fourth floor. "And then there's Du Feiyu, the seed cultivated by the Hezhong Group. He's already built two Elite Three Stars units, plus a bunch of equipment and scrolls provided by the group. How are you going to compete with him?"

Fifth floor. "Don't forget Xiang Dong, he's a several-time free fighting champion. He recently joined the All Under Heaven Group and gained access to a lot of resources; who knows how strong he is now."

Sixth floor. "..."

The names of powerful individuals were mentioned, along with their battle records and strength.

Shen Xing was secretly astonished, exclaiming in surprise, "One-on-one combat units, pay-to-win monsters, fighting champions..."

"I never imagined that this Xiao Xiao Jiangcheng would be such a hidden gem."

"However... it seems that the strongest among these people only possesses Elite Three Stars units; I haven't heard of anyone training Boss Rank unit."

The path from Elite to Boss One Star is a hurdle that has stopped countless players.

Especially in the beginner stage, players who can train Boss Rank troops are extremely rare, not only in Jiangcheng, but even in the entire Hua Country.

From this perspective, I am not without the ability to compete.

After all, in a few days, he was absolutely certain that he could get Hellscream promoted to Boss One Star.

"If I summon Boss Rank Hellscream in the dungeon, along with a whole squad of Elite Three Stars, I should be able to sweep through everything, right?"

He chuckled to himself and continued browsing the forum for a while.

At two in the morning, Lord Shen went to bed early, which was unusual for him.

Shortly after he fell asleep, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Cilantro Who Loves to Play: "Shen Xing, what do you think is the meaning of life?"

Shen Xing: "Get lost."

I turned off my phone, switched it to Do Not Disturb mode, and went back to sleep.

The next day, the dawn sun shone through the gap in the curtains onto my face.

Shen Xing opened her eyes groggily, then sat up and stretched.

"Today is another day full of hope."

She nimbly got out of bed and moved to her wheelchair.

After a quick wash, I went downstairs for breakfast.

He returned to the room, placed a glass of water on the table, and put his black-and-white glasses back on.

"Buzz~"

The scene before my eyes shifted, and a wave of warmth washed over me.

[Your territory building: Bonfire has been upgraded to level 4, and your territory area has been expanded!]

[Your territory building: Lighthouse has been completed!]

[Your...]

As soon as I entered the game, a series of prompts flashed before my eyes.

Shen Xing opened her eyes and looked around.

At this moment, the Bonfire in the center of the territory underwent a significant change: its black base expanded by two rings and increased in height by about one meter.

The area illuminated by the fire also increased dramatically from a diameter of 80 meters to a diameter of 150 meters.

The emergence of vast tracts of black land signifies that he has gained more territory and a larger area of activity.

In the four cardinal directions of the territory, four white lighthouses stand majestically, their beams of light piercing through the mist and sweeping back and forth.

Shen Xing looked at everything before him, feeling satisfied.

Compared to the dilapidated village when I first entered the game, the changes are nothing short of earth-shattering.

After admiring his territory for a while, he pushed his wheelchair up to the orc and asked, "Hellscream, what level are you?"
