Chapter 85

"This is such a wonderful thing, it must be built immediately!"

He immediately pushed the wheelchair to the side of the bluestone path.

Then they chose an open space opposite the residential buildings to build on.

The ball of light in his hand slowly rose and began to spin rapidly in the air, revealing the building inside.

The building continued to grow larger, gradually transforming into a massive architectural phantom that slowly landed.

"Boom..."

With a muffled thud, a two-story, antique-style building full of medieval charm appeared on the open ground.

The oak door was slightly ajar, the windows were carved, and the aroma of wine filled the air.

This tavern became the largest building in the entire territory as soon as it was built.

"It's good, it has that flavor."

"Let's see if we can brew our own wine later, so that the soldiers will have a place to relax after battles."

Shen Xing thought to himself with a smile, then opened the building interface and activated the 'Recruit' function.

[You have successfully initiated 'Hero Recruitment', duration: 24 hours...]

"24 hours... I wonder if there are any neutral creatures wandering around here willing to accept the summons of a novice lord like me."

"The hope seems rather slim."

After all, the tavern's maximum recruitment capacity is tied to the lord's level.

The higher the lord's level, the larger the area covered.

He is currently only level 6 and can only recruit neutral creatures within a 6-kilometer radius.

"Forget it, let's just leave it to fate. It would be great if we could recruit them, but there's no loss if we can't."

Shen Xing quickly came to terms with it.

Then, he glanced at the remaining resources in his backpack.

"We still have over two thousand Soul Stone left, so our resources are quite plentiful."

"In that case, let's build a wall around the Bonfire with a diameter of one hundred meters."

Shen Xing certainly couldn't build the city wall to cover the maximum area covered by the Bonfire.

After all, the Bonfire will continue to upgrade, and the range of its flames will continue to expand.

Therefore, all we need to do is build a wall around the territory to protect the important buildings and provide safe havens for the people.

In this way, by removing the four city gates, Shen Xing only needs to build 62 sections of city wall, costing a total of 930 Soul Stone.

Without hesitation, he pushed his wheelchair to the edge of the territory and opened the building interface.

The blurry images of sections of the city wall flashed before his eyes, following his gaze.

Clang! Clang!

A large amount of materials were consumed.

Soon, a stone wall base was erected around the territory within a hundred meters.

[Under construction, estimated remaining time: 8 hours 24 minutes...]

"Great, the territory will be completely transformed tomorrow."

Shen Xing clapped his hands in satisfaction.

At this point, all the loot obtained in the Mist Void Realm, including the ranking rewards, has been used up.

The entire territory has experienced an unprecedented upgrade.

Not only has the territory's infrastructure entered a new phase, but the strength of the troops has also increased dramatically.

"Next, once the advancement materials are successfully matched, we can officially possess a Transcendent Rank unit."

Shen Xing thought with great anticipation, feeling that life was full of hope.

Next, he used [Life-Sacrifice Evolution] to upgrade a Dretch to Elite Two Stars.

Then they made some tripwires and animal traps, and properly arranged the territory.

After finishing all that, Lord Shen took off his glasses, ending his day's work.

"Phew... life as a lord is really tough."

He let out a soft breath and slowly sat up in bed.

Although I don't need to go through the fog every day like other players, carrying a lantern and outwitting monsters to obtain a few soul fragments.

Then combine these fragments, betting on the 60-70% success rate.

He only needs to stay in his territory and use [Life-Sacrifice Evolution] once a day to continuously strengthen his troops.

But Shen Xing has also worked very hard, okay?

He wants to build up his territory and allocate resources to his troops.

We also need to consider which unit type will have its potential increased by today's [Life-Sacrifice Evolution].

Sigh, he's so tired, he's worried himself sick over the territory.

So, Lord Shen decided to treat himself to a cup of milk tea.

After selecting your milk tea, you will be taken to the payment page.

After searching for a while, a message popped up.

[Insufficient balance, payment failed...]

"What? I'm so poor I can't even afford a 6-yuan lemonade?"

Shen Xing opened his bank app in disbelief, glanced at his balance, and found that he only had 4.86 yuan left!

"Oh no! Where did my money go?"

He glanced at the bill and sighed with relief, "Okay... I guess my expenses this month were a bit high."

Shen Xing used to cook for herself to save money.

After playing the game "Mist Reincarnation," I order takeout every day, and occasionally treat myself to a cup of milk tea.

His main source of income is taking online game boosting jobs and some government subsidies.

After deducting rent and utilities, only a few hundred yuan is left for living expenses.

"Sigh, although in the game I'm a powerful lord with hundreds of generals and tens of millions in assets."

"But in reality, we still have to worry about what to eat tomorrow."

Shen Xing sighed, but didn't have any particular thoughts.

After all, he still had over a thousand contribution points left in his other card, which, according to the exchange rate, could be exchanged for over ten thousand RMB.

It's just a little troublesome; you'll need to go to the Player Association to complete some procedures.

"Forget it, I'll just borrow two hundred yuan from Qin Lang to tide me over."

Shen Xing figured that two hundred yuan should be enough for him to live on for a week.

Just as he was about to open the Green Bubble, he saw that there were more than a dozen text messages in his inbox.

I clicked in and took a look; they were all cooperation templates sent by companies and groups.

The content mostly focused on Shen Xing's outstanding performance in the competition and his unlimited potential, expressing a desire to invite him to collaborate with the company, along with a long list of sponsorship opportunities.

When Shen Xing saw the contents of the list, her eyes widened in surprise.

These large companies were indeed very generous.

As long as you sign a contract with them, you're guaranteed an annual salary of at least 70 million to 200 million.

It also includes detached villas, private butlers, maids, and other services.

They even provide Shen Xing with an irregular amount of Soul Stone, soul fragments, and other resources each month, based on his strength.

He admitted that he was somewhat tempted.

Signing a contract with these companies can lead to instant success.

Not only will real-life life be greatly improved, but development in the game will also receive tremendous assistance.

But the thought of signing contracts with these companies means I won't be as free as before.

In addition, he has a hidden talent called [Life-Sacrifice Evolution] that he cannot reveal.

After some consideration, Shen Xing reluctantly abandoned the idea.

Chapter 70: Advanced materials successfully matched, preparing for breakthrough!

Shen Xing reluctantly declined the invitations from these companies.

Then I logged into Green Bubble, and many messages flashed by in the discussion group.

"Cilantro Who Loves to Play guys, a company contacted me, offering me a ten million annual salary and two thousand Soul Stone every month!"

"Haha, it seems these big companies know their stuff. They understand Brother Qin's immense potential and that he's destined for greatness, hence the generous offers."

Should I agree or disagree?

Qin Lang sent out several emojis as if showing off, and also tagged Shen Xing and Xu Jiayi.

The user posted a picture of themselves rolling their eyes, then replied, "I Eat Eat Eat Eat Eat think ten million is enough to get rid of you?"

"I saw on the forum that the top 30 lords all received annual salary offers of tens of millions, with the highest even exceeding 100 million."

"I have a company here that has offered me a guaranteed annual salary of 50 million, and they give me 10,000 Soul Stone every month. I guess Shen Xing's offer is even more."

"Cilantro Who Loves to Play crap! The top 30 get tens of millions? I'll only get 10 million for the top three!"

These dog-basket companies have no vision!

"I, Qin Lang, would rather starve to death or die outside than sign a contract with them!"

Shen Xing replied, "Never mind whether it's ten million or fifty million, just lend me two hundred yuan first."

The Cilantro Who Loves to Play" posted a surprised emoji: "You actually asked us for money? The sun must have risen in the west!"

"Wait, did you secretly go to wash your feet?"

Shen Xing was speechless. "Don't you want to see what you're saying?"

Qin Lang laughed heartily, then sent him a red envelope.

Shen Xing changed the subject. "By the way, have you guys seen the chat in that other group? There's quite a bit of good stuff in there."

"I see! This group is truly full of hidden talents and experts." (Comment by a user named "Cilantro Who Loves to Play")
