I'm building the perfect territory in the mist.

Chapter 58: Hidden Attributes, The Misty Void Realm Opens

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me a new life!" Hellscream knelt on one knee, looking at the human before him with eyes full of loyalty.

Shen Xing nodded approvingly: "Not bad, this is also a recognition of your achievements."

"And to the other warriors of the territory, as long as you strive to become stronger and continuously improve yourselves, you can contribute to the territory."

"I will help you break through your limits, just as I helped Grom Hellscream and Gorehowl."

Upon hearing this, the beastmen gasped for breath, their eyes gleaming with intense longing.

With the intelligence of a three-year-old, they probably can't understand anything too complicated.

But they could understand. The lord said that as long as they worked hard, they could have the opportunity to become stronger and become as powerful as those two orcs.

Even the skeletons and lesser demons, who were not particularly intelligent, were instantly boosted in morale and full of motivation.

[Thanks to your encouragement, the aptitude of all troops in the territory increases by 20 for 48 hours.]

(Note: Aptitude is a hidden attribute that affects the speed of skill acquisition, the speed of soul stone absorption, the probability of awakening talents, etc.)

...

"Huh? An improvement in aptitude, or a hidden attribute?"

This was the first time Shen Xing had ever seen this attribute.

With some doubts, I exited the game and checked the forum.

As indicated by the system prompt, [Ability] is a hidden attribute and will not be directly displayed on the panel.

In addition, there is the [Charm] ability, which can affect an NPC's initial favorability and increase the probability of triggering hidden quests.

And the [Luck] attribute, which affects the success rate of breakthroughs and the probability of triggering serendipitous encounters, etc.

These hidden attributes are all important, and they are extremely difficult to improve.

This is more like a pie-in-the-sky promise... no, this incentive has given all unit types a 20-point boost in aptitude. It's a pleasant surprise.

Just then, my phone vibrated slightly in my pocket; Xia Wanyin had sent me a voice message.

He put on her glasses and said, "Shen Xing, are you online? Let's go raid the Silver Sanctuary today!"

Shen Xing could hear the excitement in her tone and was almost impatient to wait.

"Um... I'm busy these few days. If you can't wait, you can go by yourself."

He is now absolutely certain of conquering the Silver Holy Land, but he is not prepared to make a move today.

Since Hellroar has reached level 9, the next step is to prepare materials for his breakthrough so that he can officially break through to the second-tier transcendent level.

And this material is found in the Misty Sky Realm.

So today he planned to let this orc get used to the power of a leader so that he could unleash his full strength tomorrow.

Xia Wanyin said somewhat disappointedly when she heard that he didn't have time, "Then forget it, I'll wait until you're free to go together."

Shen Xing did not reply further.

He put his glasses back on and handed the Blackwater Battle Axe to Hellscream.

As for the other steel-cutting double-edged axe in his hand, it was discarded and given to another orc who had killed the most enemies.

Then, he lit the lantern and led Bloodhowl and Roar to explore the area around the territory a few times.

After three hours, I obtained a total of about a hundred soul stones.

Compared to grinding monsters in the Blackwater River, where you could get three or four hundred soul stones a day, this is quite a difference.

But he also knew that such opportunities were not frequent.

Furthermore, the Naga priest told them that they could no longer go to the Blackwater River to kill the Dark Naga.

Otherwise, it might provoke an even more terrifying entity in the river.

As for what it is, she didn't say.

Even when the Naga priest mentioned it, her face turned pale, as if she were deeply afraid of it.

Shen Xing decided that once things were settled in the Misty Sky Realm, he would expand the exploration area to see if he could find new monster spawn points.

I've completed today's daily tasks and assigned Soul Stones to the troops.

Shen Xing took off her glasses and shifted her gaze to the rented room.

I cooked a pot of dumplings to satisfy my hunger.

Then he went back to bed, opened his phone, logged into the forum, and looked up a lot of information about "The Misty Sky".

I finally fell into a deep sleep around 1 or 2 a.m.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the land of mist.

The thick black fog, like flowing seawater, seemed to swallow everything.

In a corner, a humble territory is ablaze with flames that seem to reach the sky.

The wooden house was ablaze, and charred, hunched corpses lay scattered all around.

With its green skin and protruding fangs, it looks like a goblin unit.

Among the pile of corpses, a voluptuous, mature woman from the Middle East lay sprawled on the ground, her eyes filled with deep fear.

"No...don't kill me..." she staggered backward, her voice trembling.

"Oh? It seems you now understand that dying in a game means dying in real life."

A flippant voice sounded from behind, and a young man with short brown hair stepped out.

Gideon slowly approached her, a flippant smile playing on his lips: "Very well, I don't need to explain any further."

The woman, still filled with fear, stammered, "What...what are you going to do?"

"Heh..." Gideon chuckled and asked, "Do you want to live?"

"Yes..." the woman replied without hesitation.

"Then let me have some fun."

Gideon gazed at her alluring figure, his eyes filled with undisguised desire: "I've never tasted what women from your country are like."

The woman paused for a moment, then realized something, a blush rising on her mature face: "This...this is in the game."

"What's going on in the game?" Gideon asked casually. "It's 100% synchronized. You can experience the same feeling as in reality."

The woman slowly lowered her head, her fingers gripping the ground, as if she were going through a fierce internal struggle.

"Gideon, that's enough," the red-haired woman beside him said, unable to bear it any longer. "You can go after these novice lords, but there's no need to humiliate her like this."

"Oh?" Gideon turned his head. "Lena, you are a member of my territory. We have a contractual relationship. Are you going to defy my will?"

The red-haired woman didn't speak, but stared coldly at him with her amber eyes.

Gideon, under her gaze, knew that things wouldn't go through today.

He cursed inwardly, "This despicable woman, as a subject, has repeatedly defied her lord."

If it weren't for your formidable fighting strength, we would have driven you out of our territory long ago.

Just wait, once I step into the extraordinary realm, I'll definitely take you down too, and let you taste my power!

Gideon snorted and looked away.

After this incident, he lost interest and walked up to the middle-aged woman, coldly saying, "Transfer 200 million to this card, in US dollars, or you can die."

"Two...two million!?" The mature woman said tremulously, "I...I don't have the money."

"No money? Heh...that's alright." Gideon stared at her greedily. "You have a lot of valuable things here."

Under the woman's fearful gaze, several shadows rapidly approached.

A few minutes later, Gideon led his werewolf army out of the territory.

"Hehe, I've finally saved up enough money to buy materials for a breakthrough to transcendent level."

Gideon weighed the troop nest in his hand, his eyes filled with joy: "In this way, no one within a radius of twenty kilometers can stand against me."

"This time, I'm going to make that guy in the wheelchair experience what it feels like to have his whole body clamped!"

...

...

The next day.

Today marks the 15th day since Shen Xing started playing this game, exactly half a month.

He was half-asleep when his phone rang; it was a six-digit number from an unknown number.

"Hello, are you Mr. Shen Xing?"

A mature voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me." Shen Xing rubbed her eyes and sat up in bed.

"I'm from the Jiangcheng Anomaly Handling Bureau. I've come here specifically to pick you up and take you to the anomaly location. The car is already downstairs."

The other person's voice was calm and polite.

Shen Xing had heard Zhou Zheng mention yesterday that someone would come to pick him up.

I didn't expect them to arrive so early, and it's quite a formal affair.

"Okay, I'll be down in a bit."

He hung up the phone and then slowly looked out the window.

Today marks the official start of my journey into the Misty Realm, where I will compete for rankings with other new lords in Jiangcheng.

After half a month of development, let's see if we can achieve a good ranking this time.
