I'm building the perfect territory in the mist.

Chapter 22: Evolution, Hidden Branch!

"The Void of Mist... what is that?" Shen Xing asked in confusion.

"You don't know?"

The three shook their heads simultaneously; they had only been playing the game for a few days and had no idea how much they knew.

"Uh..." Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and then reorganized his words: "Simply put, it's a large-scale leak of mist energy from the game world, which has created a special misty realm in the real world."

"It contains a large number of traps and monsters, but also a large number of treasures."

"Recently, a one-star 'Misty Sky Realm' has appeared in our Jiangcheng, right in Mingyue Bay Park."

"There are many treasures inside that allow units to break through to the second tier, and there are even some special units, buildings, gems, and the like."

"This is a rare opportunity for all pioneers."

"The area is currently sealed off. In a month, we will send in the best new recruits from Jiangcheng."

"As for how many resources one can obtain, that depends on one's own abilities."

After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, the three nodded in understanding.

This so-called "Mirror of Fog" is, in layman's terms, a large-scale multiplayer dungeon.

However, this instance is not in the game, but in the real world, and it contains many resources from the game.

Just as they were about to ask something else, they suddenly felt a sharp pain in their brains, as if they had been hit with a hammer.

At the same time, the figure of Hellroar in front of them became illusory.

"Your levels are too low; your mental energy isn't enough to sustain the troop manifestation for long," Zhou Zheng warned. "Quickly disconnect, or it will drain you dry."

Upon hearing this, the three immediately severed their connection with the Mist Flower.

Hellscream and Bayonetta vanished completely, and the dizziness gradually subsided.

"Alright, you guys go back and rest first. Leave this to me." Zhou Zheng's tone returned to calm.

Shen Xing and the others nodded without saying anything more and walked towards the elevator entrance.

The main reason is that they were indeed exhausted; the consumption of materialized units in reality was too great.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Zhou Zheng added, "By the way, during this time you should try your best to improve your strength."

"If you can rank in the top ten in the Misty Mirror, you will receive a special reward from the bureau."

"At the same time, I can also find a way to take you to other cities to challenge the higher-star level of the Fog Mirror."

With a "beep," the elevator doors closed completely.

After Shen Xing and the others left, Zhou Zheng slowly walked to his unit.

The minotaur stretched out its large, fan-like hand, its five fingers spread out, revealing a bright soul.

Zhou Zheng nodded in satisfaction and put the soul into his possession.

"Team Leader Zhou."

The young-looking girl in the black uniform stepped out from the corner: "Didn't you tell them that there would be a reward for acts of bravery like this?"

"Why are you saying all this?" Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a few tens of thousands of yuan. These kids don't even care. Consider it a bribe to get them a spot."

The girl paused slightly, then glanced at him calmly before silently picking up her pen.

"Xiaomin, don't remember this one."

...

...

A silver Lexus sped along the road.

The three sat in the car, gazing at the scenery outside the window, their minds still replaying everything that had happened in the mall.

"Shen Xing, Jia Yi, are we going in a month?"

Qin Lang, gripping the steering wheel, asked, "This Misty Void Realm sounds like a nice place."

"No rush. Let's go back and look up some information about the Misty Sky Realm before deciding whether or not to go," Shen Xing replied calmly.

"That's true." Qin Lang nodded. "Let's find out more first, and besides, we're just getting started and our strength is still very weak."

Next, they went to the entrance of a riverside residential area in Jiangcheng and took Xu Jiayi home.

Qin Lang continued driving and took Shen Xing back to her rented house in the suburbs.

She escorted him all the way upstairs before turning to leave.

Re-enter the room and close the door.

Shen Xing leaned back in his wheelchair, turned on his phone, and searched for "Misty Sky Realm" on the forum.

Just as Zhou Zheng described, it is indeed a place full of treasures and opportunities, a rare chance for players.

But there's one thing he didn't mention: the competition in Misty Sky is fierce, and players need to compete for rankings to obtain different tiers of rewards.

If you can make it into the top three, there will even be exclusive rewards.

In addition, it is also very dangerous inside, and player injuries and deaths occur frequently.

After a brief search, Shen Xing pulled himself together and said, "Let's put aside the matter of the Misty Void Realm for now. The most important thing right now is to improve the strength of our territory."

He put on his glasses, and the scene before him changed again.

"call…"

The orange flames burned brightly, illuminating the entire village and bringing a wave of warmth.

Thick fog swirled all around, like ocean waves enveloping the entire village, yet it could not penetrate the firelight's reach.

Shen Xing's gaze swept around.

In the center of the territory, Hellscream was directing eight orcs to stand in a row and conduct combat training for them.

"Orcs are born with strength that surpasses that of other races, but they are also more prone to anger and easily go berserk during battle."

"But we must learn to control our anger and obey orders."

"Those who are controlled by power are beasts; only those who can control power can be called beastmen."

The deep, guttural roar of Hellroar echoed continuously, while the orcs remained in a daze, bewildered yet impressed.

Instead of trying to make the orcs understand, he brought over huge stones and had them carve on them.

It seems they wanted to use this meticulous work to hone their patience.

Shen Xing sat in his wheelchair, silently watching Hellroar's retreating figure, his eyes thoughtful.

This general under his command was somewhat different from the other orcs.

He is more composed and calmer in battle, and he doesn't just rely on brute force to solve problems.

Moreover, he seems to have a natural leadership quality.

Previously, due to insufficient strength, his performance was not outstanding.

Now, with its potential increasing, it is gradually becoming apparent.

This also made Shen Xing somewhat expectant, wondering what kind of being Hellroar would grow into in the future.

At the same time, the orc also saw the lord's figure and quickly walked over.

"My lord, you're back."

Hellscream asked, sounding puzzled, "What just happened? I feel like I was having a dream. In the dream, I saw you and even fought a monster."

Shen Xing smiled and then explained it to him.

Hellscream nodded in realization, understanding what had happened.

"Report on what happened last night. Did anything unusual occur?" Shen Xing asked.

Hellscream composed himself and replied, "There were two or three waves of monster attacks last night, one of which included an elite monster that could stealth."

"But they were spotted by the arrow towers, revealing their location, and then we killed them."

"Oh right, these are the spoils of war."

As he spoke, he took out a rough cloth bag from his waist and handed it over.

[Received: Soul Stones * 45]

[Received: 37 Vinar Silver Coins]

[Received: 24 Broken, Dim Souls]

[Received: 6 Broken Elite Souls]

[Obtained: 1 Complete Elite Soul]

...

Shen Xing's eyes lit up slightly when he saw the last piece of loot information.

Unexpectedly, I also obtained a complete elite soul last night.

Including the [Sacrifice Evolution], he has two chances to upgrade his elite star level today.

"Good job, you've worked hard guarding the territory."

Shen Xing praised him, then asked, "Where's Bloodhowl?"

"Boss, I'm here!"

As a rough voice rang out, the door of a wooden house not far away opened, and a huge figure named Shen Xing walked out.

Bloodhowl rode out from inside, riding a gray dire wolf, looking quite spirited.

The dire wolf, on the other hand, hung its head low, looking dejected.

After Bloodhowl's repeated lessons, the beast is now completely subdued.

"Boss, are we taking Bloodhowl out to battle?" He raised his battle axe, his fighting spirit high. "I'm ready!"

Shen Xing shook his head, then handed over the [complete elite soul]: "Don't rush out yet, absorb this soul."

Looking at the bright soul in his hand, not only Bloodhowl but even the dire wolf beneath him revealed a look of longing in its eyes.

"Yes, boss, I will definitely succeed!"

With a fanatical expression of loyalty, Bloodhowl pressed the complete soul into his chest.

A familiar red light burst forth from within him, and his body visibly changed at an astonishing speed, his aura constantly rising.

Amazingly, as the red light spread, it also enveloped the dire wolf beneath it.

A familiar prompt appears.

Please select the upgrade path for 'Bloodhowl'.
