I Have A Game Clone

Ning Shi, a man from Saturn, accidentally downloaded a game on his phone called the Age of All. “Beep! Clone successfully created!” Ning Shi received a clone in the game. Whenever his clone got stronger, his real self would get stronger as well. “Your clone has trained in the training room for 12 hours. Vitality 1, Mentality 1.” “Your clone has slain the Earth-Dragon.

Three-way Threat

After three days of development, Ning Shi was able to cast order in Blood Crime Street.

To maintain order, 200 tribal warriors were more than enough. The rest of the warriors were driven to the wilderness by Ning Shi to hunt magical beasts and gain experience.

These few days, Ning Shi was like a bug in the game. He did not have to do anything but his experience points kept increasing. His current experience points had increased to 600,000. It was expected that he could level up again later today.

Killing Gru, scaring off the Wild Lion Knights, and ruling over Blood Crime Street, this series of actions brought Ning Shi greater fame and his reputation kept increasing.

His avatar's reputation reached 1623/2234 (rather famous).

When his reputation reached 2200, the game's main storyline mission appeared.

[Reputation reached 2200, triggering Main Storyline Mission 2: Recruit 2 followers and 2000 servants.]

Ning Shi was considering whether to recruit some random people to complete the main storyline mission quickly, or to stick to the high-quality route.

Amy walked in hurriedly.

"Boss! The president of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce as well as the rotating president of Duohuang Chamber of Commerce, Lord Hilker, is leading the members of Duohuang Chamber of Commerce to visit."

Ning Shi smiled when he heard Amy's report.

"They're not friendly. Please ask them to meet me in the meeting hall."

Amy looked anxious. She suggested sincerely, "Boss, do you want to go out and welcome them? After all, Duohuang Chamber of Commerce is the nominal manager of Duohuang City. We can't offend them too much."

Ning Shi sat on the tiger-skin chair in peace. He waved his hand. "It's already good enough to invite them in. They are here to interrogate us. They won't appreciate our courtesy no matter how respectful we are."

Amy didn't dare to argue with her boss, so she left obediently.

A moment later, a burly man in a yellow robe led a group of people into the meeting hall.

The man's eyes were long and narrow, his nose was curved like an eagle's and his face was full of flesh. He looked extremely vicious and didn't have the temperament of a businessman at all.

Instead, he looked like a butcher who slaughtered pigs and cows.

"I am the president of Duohuang Chamber of Commerce, a noble of the golden lion bloodline, Hilker. We are meeting for the first time. It seems that Lord Ning Shi doesn't really welcome me?"

Although he had already guessed his identity, Ning Shi still wanted to ridicule Hilker's appearance.

Couldn't they find a refined and easy-going person to be the president of the chamber of commerce?

However, thinking about how this was Duohuang, where trade was flourishing yet there was only chaos and no order, the president of the chamber of commerce did not seem to need to know how to do business. It was more important for the individual to be strong enough so that he could intimidate all kinds of unruly powerhouses in Duohuang.

With this in mind, it was very reasonable for Hilker to have the appearance of a boorish man.

"President Hilker, I don't like to beat around the bush. There's no need to be polite. What is your purpose in coming here? Let's get straight to the point."

Seeing that Ning Shi was so impolite, it was fine if he did not go out to welcome them, but when he and the others came in, he still sat at the head of the table without a word of courtesy.

The muscles on Hilker's face trembled a few times.

"According to the rules of Duohuang, since the extreme battle group has become the ruler of the Blood Crime Street, they must join Duohuang Chamber of Commerce. Three days have passed, why hasn't Lord Ning Shi come to the chamber of commerce to register?"

"Do you want to make an enemy of all the chambers of commerce in Duohuang?"

This Hilker was really good at putting the blame on others. Ning Shi continued to sit on the chair and said indifferently.

"Our extreme battle group is just a mercenary group, not a chamber of commerce. Why do we have to join Duohuang Chamber of Commerce? If the extreme battle group is accepted as a member of Duohuang Chamber of Commerce, then it's not a chamber of commerce. We might as well change the name to Duohuang Council."

In terms of sophistry, Ning Shi was not weak at all. He continued, "Moreover, when did Duohuang have such a rule that the street ruler must join the chamber of commerce?"

The street ruler joining the chamber of commerce was Duohuang's unspoken rule. There was no explicit rule. After so many years, everyone had followed this unspoken rule.

Ads by Pubfuture

The unspoken rule was just the tacit understanding of the vested interest groups. It could not be put on the table. Even if Ning Shi said so, Hilker could not find any fault with it.

Ever since Hilker became the rotating president of the chamber of commerce, he had been in contact with the leaders of the major chambers of commerce. He had always been respected in Duohuang, and wherever he went, he would always be the object of flattery, he had never met a hothead like Ning Shi.

He stared at Ning Shi coldly.

"Duohuang City didn't specify this rule, but Duohuang Chamber of Commerce did. In the declaration of the establishment of Duohuang Chamber of Commerce, it was clearly stated that street rulers must join Duohuang Chamber of Commerce."

Ning Shi laughed, stood up from his seat, and walked down the steps.

"Ridiculous, this is too ridiculous. According to the declaration, members of the chamber of commerce should manage their internal affairs. I'm not a member of the chamber of commerce, so why should I abide by the declaration of the establishment of Duohuang Chamber of Commerce?"

Hilker was momentarily speechless. Seeing this situation, an elven beauty beside him stepped forward and took over the conversation.

"Lord Ning Shi, we are not here to argue with you. We are here to inform you that taxation is not allowed in Duohuang. From now on, stop your taxation immediately or you will bear the consequences."

The elf was very beautiful, but her tone was as cold as ice.

"This is?" Ning Shi asked.

"She is the president of the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce, Snow Mist. What she said represented the entire Duohuang Chamber of Commerce."

Hilker reacted and answered Ning Shi's question.

This elf was less than 1.5 meters tall and petite. On her left arm, there were seven-star patterns, which were very obvious characteristics of the Star Elves.

In the game world, there were three great elves in the Elven Empire. They were the Sun Elves, the Moon Elves, and the mysterious Star Elves. The Sun Elves and the Moon Elves had always taken turns to be the Elven King.

There were fewer members in the Star Elves tribe. They kept a low profile and rarely went out. Ning Shi did not expect that the spokesperson of?Empire in Duohuang was actually a Star Elf.

This was the first time Ning Shi had seen this race. He could not help but take a second look. 𝞰𝑂𝑽𝗲𝓵𝗎𝐬𝒷.𝕔𝑶𝑚

There was another person on Hilker's right.

This person was wearing a short shirt, revealing his well-developed muscles. His head was very big and his face was very wide. There were thick pads on both sides of his face. His eyes were small, and his mouth protruded outward.

His entire face was very similar to that of a gorilla. He looked like a primitive man who had not fully evolved yet.

To be able to stand side by side with Hilker and Snow Mist, his identity was obvious.

"This must be the president of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce?"

The gorilla-faced man nodded. "I'm Piermont, Lord Ning Shi. We're all smart people, so we don't need to beat around the bush with you."

Duohuang was in a strategic location. If someone ruled Duohuang, they could go west through the Chilly Wind Canyon and go straight to the Wind Chasing City of Ole Empire. To the east was a flat wasteland, which could be used to attack Marquis of the Dolphin of the Brad Empire. To the south were the fairest and most fertile plains of the Elven Empire.

This place should be in a state of chaos. Any new order established by others would be wiped out by the three great empires.

"You are collecting taxes here and you want to establish order. You should know what that means."

A person who was chaotic in nature. Ning Shi was angered by Piermont's words and said.

"The three empires are really overbearing. Why isn't the Mercenary Alliance that represents the will of the local people of Duohuang with you guys? Do they also agree that Duohuang should be filled with chaos and sin?"

Ning Shi pulled out his meteoric heavy sword and Hilker's figure was reflected on the blade.

"It's just coercion. After becoming a whore, do you still want to set up a memorial? Whether I can levy taxes depends on whether the blade in my hand is sharp enough. It's not up to you guys to decide."

As Ning Shi drew his sword, dozens of extreme barbarians swarmed into the meeting hall and surrounded Hilker and his group.

Hilker's expression changed slightly, but he was not panicking.

"Lord Ning Shi, if you want Blood Crime Street to be reduced to ruins, we are willing to fight with you here. Since you don't agree with Duohuang Chamber of Commerce's intervention, according to Duohuang's rules, a large-scale fight must be held outside the city."

"Tomorrow at 10 a.m., both of us will set up battle formations at the foot of Guling Slope in the north of Duohuang and fight to the death."

Ning Shi used the insight technique on Hilker.

[Insight Target: Hilker, spiritual power comparison: 16/17, able to probe some basic information.]

Character: Hilker

Physique: 34 (40)

Spiritual Power: 17 (30)

Appearance: 3 (ugly face)

Family Background: 8 (Brad Empire royal family)

Bloodline: Eight-eyed golden lion (Level 8 / Potential: 9 stars)

Profession: Bloodline warrior Level 38

Skills: Golden mech Level 7, shockwave Level 8 ...

Talent: Violence (purple), king's might (blue) ...

Achievements: None

Ning Shi's spiritual power was not enough to see all of Hilker's information. However, from the feedback using his insight technique, Hilker's profession level was as high as Level 38. His bloodline level was Level 8, and his skills were all above Level 7.

His fighting strength was many times stronger than Gru's. Ning Shi would not be able to determine the winner in a short time.

Moreover, there were Snow Mist and Piermont beside him.

He could still use the insight technique for another round. Ning Shi wanted to understand his opponent, so he used it on Piermont.

He found that Piermont had the bloodline of the earth demonic ape, which was also a Level 8 bloodline. His profession was Level 37 and his talent and skills were also terrifyingly high.

If he wanted to take them down today, the odds of winning were not high.

"You guys go!"

Seeing Ning Shi put away his sword, Hilker also let out a sigh of relief. Ning Shi had given him a lot of pressure, and he did not want to risk his life here.

They left the meeting hall without saying a word.

After walking out of Blood Crime Street, Hilker said to Snow Mist and Piermont.

"For the battle tomorrow morning, I hope that everyone can put aside their previous struggles and work together to crush the extreme battle group that overestimated themselves."

"Let me set an example first. The Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce will send 1000 Wild Lion Knights to participate in the battle."

Piermont looked at Hilker in surprise. 1000 Wild Lion Knights were all the combat strength of the Brad Empire in Duohuang. If the losses were too great, it would affect the interests of the Brad Empire in Duohuang.

"It seems that Lord Hilker is very angry with the Lord of the extreme wilderness. The Griffin Chamber of Commerce is willing to send 2000 Wolf Knights."

Piermont was much more cautious. He kept 1000 Wolf Knights and did not send out his trump card troops or the 100-man Griffin Legion.

It was normal for Piermont to do this. With 2000 Wolf Knights, Hilker was already satisfied. He turned to look at Snow Mist.

Snow Mist was still cold. Her voice was emotionless. "I have received orders from the country. In Duohuang, stability is the priority. We cannot act rashly. Neither the longbow group nor the magic team can move."

Hilker's expression was very ugly. He stared at Snow Mist's face, trying to see if she was lying.

What a coincidence. The Elven Empire gave her such an order at this time?

"I can at most help you contact the allies of the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce. I estimate that we can gather a team of 3000 people."

The so-called allies were all the chambers of commerce of the three empires. This was their subordinate force. The combat ability of these chambers of commerce's troops was not bad. After all, in Duohuang, the weak could not survive.

Hilker could only nod helplessly. He concluded, "Brad's allies can also gather a force of 3000 people. Piermont, find your allies to gather 2000 people. This way, we can form a force of 10,000 people."

"The extreme battle group only has 500 people. No matter how strong the barbarians are, 10,000 against 500, we will win!"

The population of the entire Duohuang City was only 500,000. Without an army, a 10,000-man team was enough to wipe out everything.

Thinking of this, Hilker was instantly filled with pride.

"Tomorrow morning, we must take off Ning Shi's head and hang it at the intersection of Blood Crime Street. I want to see who dares to establish a new order in Duohuang!"

Strike First!

After Hilker and the others left, Ning Shi thought for a while and said to Amy.

"Tell the warriors who are hunting magical beasts outside to hurry back and bring me a map of Duohuang."

Seeing that her boss was really going to fight the Duohuang Chamber of Commerce, Amy was worried, but as a servant, she still carried out her boss' orders meticulously.

After a while, she came in with a beautiful parchment.

"Boss, I've sent someone to inform them. This is the most detailed map of Duohuang, with the details of the streets of Duohuang."

Ning Shi took the map and found that the street next to Blood Crime Street was Street No. 111, one of the most prosperous and wealthy streets in Duohuang.

The ruler of this street ran a business, a business that all the nobles of the continent would never forget.

The gladiator arena.

It was the only gladiator arena in Duohuang.

Duohuang's gladiator arena was very cruel. Gladiators were slaves or death convicts who came from all over the continent. They would fight in cages in the arena.

No matter how many people entered a cage, only one person could survive.

Such bloody gladiator activities were forbidden in the three empires. Only in Duohuang could they brazenly engage in such inhumane gladiatorial activities.

Whether it was out of curiosity or the abnormal desire rooted in their bloodlines, many nobles from the Moen Continent liked to secretly come to Street No. 111 of Duohuang to watch the cage fights.

These nobles came here to watch the fights. They ate, drank, gambled, and spent a lot of money.

Duohuang's gladiator arena could be said to be making gold every day and was a rich source of wealth.

"Amy, the force behind Duohuang's gladiator arena is the Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce. What's the background of this chamber of commerce?"

Ning Shi was very confused. Such a profitable business as the gladiator arena was not run by the chambers of commerce of the three empires.

"The Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce was founded by His Highness Anjelo. No one dares to mess with him in Duohuang."

"Who is this Anjelo? Is He an invincible master?"

Amy shook her head and said, "His Highness Anjelo's background involved a royal scandal. Many people know about it, but usually, no one dares to say it in public."

"Thirty-three years ago, in the year 2754 of the Moen Calendar, the old King of the Brad Empire suddenly died. Four princes were fighting for the throne, and the situation in the country was deteriorating."

"The Ole Empire took this opportunity to launch an invasion war. In order to avoid the crisis of national subjugation, His Majesty Joerger, who was still the Second Prince at the time, personally went to the Elven Empire to lobby. He used some unknown method and signed an alliance agreement with the Elven Empire."

"With the help of the Elven Empire, Joerger became the new king and defeated the army of the Ole Empire."

Hearing Amy mention this matter and the name of the Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce, Ning Shi had a rough guess.

"Are you saying that Anjelo is the mixed-blood illegitimate child left behind by the union of the current King of the Brad Empire, Joerger, and the elves?"

Amy was, after all, a young woman. She was very excited when she talked about gossip, so she pretended to be mysterious.

"Not only that, Anjelo's mother is also not a simple figure. She is the Grand Elder of the Moon Elves, also known as the Scepter of the Moon, and is called Lord Silverdew."

"It's a pity that the elves are strictly forbidden from having children with humans. Anjelo's identity cannot be revealed, or else it would be a provocation to the entire elf race."

Ning Shi was speechless. No matter where, people liked to deceive themselves and others.

"The upper echelons of the elves definitely knew about Anjelo's matter. However, due to the fact that his parents were both important figures, they could only turn a blind eye to it, hoping that the matter would not be revealed."

"Then how did you know the secret of Anjelo's birth?"

"Ever since he was young, His Highness Anjelo was brought back to the imperial capital Lion City by His Majesty Joerger. Perhaps it was because of his love for Lord Silverdew, His Majesty Joerger doted on His Highness Anjelo."

"However, because he was raised outside the palace and was not educated properly, His Highness Anjelo developed a spoiled personality."

"In the imperial capital, he abused commoners, raped young girls, set people on fire, and committed all kinds of evil. Every time he did something bad, he would proudly publicize his birth. After a while, everyone knew about it."

"Emperor Joerger was worried about the Elven Empire's reaction, so he sent His Highness Anjelo to Duohuang. In the chaotic Duohuang, His Highness Anjelo was like a fish in water. He founded the Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce and ran the Duohuang gladiator arena."

Ning Shi was speechless. This Anjelo was also a weirdo. However, he had a strong background. He had the protection of the superpowers from two empires. In Duohuang, he also had the support of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce and the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce.

Also a half-elf, Bruce's ability and character far surpassed Anjelo, but he was a slave. Such comparisons were really infuriating.

Amy was a native of the Brad Empire. She had always used honorifics to address the King and Prince of the Empire. However, Ning Shi did not have a good impression of this Anjelo.

He was a heinous playboy who had come to Duohuang and started the bloody and abnormal gladiator arena. He was definitely a scumbag.

Ning Shi was very interested in the warriors in the gladiator arena. Those who could survive in the arena were all ruthless characters. His main storyline mission required him to contract another 1500 or so servants.

"How many gladiators are there in the Duohuang gladiator arena?"

"According to the information released by the gladiator arena, there are 755 gladiators who have experienced one round of fighting, 317 who survived the second round of fighting, 121 who survived the third round of fighting, and all the gladiators above the third round have their own titles. There are 19 titled gladiators."

Ning Shi nodded. There were more than 1200 gladiators in total. If he could take down the arena, he could contract more than 1200 powerful gladiators. Then he could contract some cannon fodder and have enough servants.

Amy understood Ning Shi's intention. She reminded him, "Boss, the gladiator arena is not easy to conquer.".

The first round of fighting in the arena was called chaotic cage. There were at least a dozen people in a cage. Those who survived were all masters who were one in a hundred."

"Not to mention those titled gladiators who survived several rounds. They are all very powerful."

"The bloodline contracts of these gladiators are in the hands of His Highness Anjelo. Their lives and deaths are controlled by Anjelo. If we want to conquer the gladiator arena, we have to fight these gladiators to the death. Even if we win, it won't be easy."

"And tomorrow..."

Amy wanted to say more, but Ning Shi interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"You just have to provide me with information. I have my own plans for the rest. How is Anjelo's strength?"

Amy answered honestly, "He doesn't have much strength. It is said that he has a powerful personal guard by his side. It was sent to him by His Majesty, Joerger."

"Very good. When all the warriors who went out come back, tell them to be ready for battle. Ask Elon to come with me. I will meet this Anjelo at Street No. 111 first."

Since he had already fallen out with the Duohuang Chamber of Commerce, waiting for death was not Ning Shi's style. Everyone in China knew that it was better to strike first!

He had to first ambush Anjelo and take control of Street No. 111 to strengthen himself.

According to the main storyline mission 1 and 2, Ning Shi guessed that the main storyline mission of the game system was to build a force and expand the territory. In the game, of course, he had to follow the main storyline mission.

As a player, if he died, he would only lose a bit of his spiritual power. There was nothing to be afraid of.

In order not to alert Anjelo, Ning Shi wore a beast head mask that was very common in Duohuang and walked to Street No. 111.

"Boss, it's him."

"Okay, Elon, go and inform the extreme battle group to rush to Street No. 111."

After walking around the street for more than two hours, they finally met Anjelo at Nightingale Tavern.

Mixed-blood had an advantage. Anjelo had an extremely handsome face. In comparison, the two female singers beside him with huge breasts and fat buttocks appeared somewhat mediocre. 𝚗𝚘𝒱𝑒𝓛𝑈𝐒𝑩.𝒸𝚘𝓂

Behind Anjelo, a thin middle-aged man followed him closely.

He had a thin sword on his left side. Judging from his body and weapon, he seemed to be an agile fighter.

"This is the guard Amy mentioned."

It was a pity that he had run out of insight techniques. Otherwise, he could have checked him out.

However, it was not a big deal. No matter how strong an expert was, he would be restricted in his movements if he had to protect a weakling like Anjelo. Moreover, this guard was probably as strong as Gru of the Blood Crime Mercenary Group.

A true expert would not be willing to be a guard for a useless young master.

"Look at the blade!"

Ning Shi deliberately shouted. The two-meter-long giant sword slashed at Anjelo at an extremely fast speed!

The sword was extremely fast, bringing with it a gust of wind that blew the tables and chairs in the tavern all over the place.

When the guard heard Ning Shi's shout, his expression changed. Seeing that Anjelo was about to be hacked to death, he did not have time to think. He raised his thin sword and wanted to block the meteoric heavy sword.

With a crack, the thin sword broke. The sword went forward and cut the guard in half.

It was less than 1 cm away from Anjelo's head.

The blade stopped.

Anjelo was completely shocked. He had been living under the protection of Joerger since he was born. Even though he had come to Duohuang, he had been taken care of by big forces and protected by guards.

He had never experienced any danger.

All of a sudden, his personal guard was cut in half. Fresh warm blood sprinkled on Anjelo's face.

"Please! Let me go! I'll give you anything you want. I have money, I have a lot of money, I'll give it to you!"

Anjelo knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. There was a pungent smell coming from his lower body. He was so scared that he peed himself.

What an idiot. If it wasn't for protecting him, this guard would still be able to deal with Ning Shi.

"Where is the bloodline contract for the gladiators? Hand them all to me."

Hearing Ning Shi's request, Anjelo was a little hesitant.

With a flick, the blade flashed and a finger left his palm.

"Ah! It hurts! Mother, come and save me! You can't kill me. My mother is the Grand Elder of the Moon Elves and my father is the King of the Brad Empire. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape."

Anjelo hugged his hand and rolled on the ground, crying and crying.

"Shut up, I'll say it one last time. Where is the bloodline contract? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"

Anjelo looked around in panic, as if he wanted to find a helper, but the people in the tavern had already run away.

He closed his eyes in fear and chanted a spell while trembling. A stack of contracts appeared in front of Ning Shi.

Ning Shi immediately saw the ring on Anjelo's middle finger. Having read all kinds of novels, a term immediately appeared in his mind.

Interspatial ring.

Ning Shi took off the ring and put it into his backpack. Although he didn't need it, it was a good gift for Lena.

"No, you can't steal my ring. This is a gift from my mother. Please return it to me. The ring is bound to my bloodline. It's useless for you to take it."

Seeing that Anjelo was still shouting, Ning Shi raised his knife and chopped off Anjelo's head.

Putting away the meteoric heavy sword, Ning Shi took the bloodline contract, took off his mask and walked out of Nightingale Tavern.

Elon moved very quickly. The warriors of the extreme battle group had already entered Street No. 111. After Ning Shi met them, a group of people marched toward the arena.

Take the Initiative

Ning Shi came to the arena and killed a group of thugs from the Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce.

[Level 13 bloodline warrior killed, experience points 2000.]

[Bloodline warrior leveled up to Level 10 (900/1,280,000), physique 1, skill points 1, potential points 1.]

Ning Shi's eyes were filled with tears when he heard the long-awaited notification.

His physique had leveled up to 38 points. Ning Shi felt that his strength and speed had increased by more than 50%.

The attributes of the upgraded avatar were as follows:

Playing games and leveling up was always one of the most enjoyable things.

Ning Shi was in a good mood. He moved very quickly and contracted all the gladiators in the gladiator arena as servants.

These gladiators came from all over the continent. There were beastmen, barbarians, dwarves, elves, half-elves and human nobles.

There were criminals and slaves among them. Those who could be sent to the arena as reserve gladiators were not good people.

After experiencing cruel battles, these gladiators were all bloodthirsty and crazy. Their combat strength was strong.

Especially the 19 titled gladiators. Every one of them gave Ning Shi a sense of danger. They were definitely battle maniacs.

After being contracted as servants, Ning Shi shared the purple regeneration talent with them. With their super-strong body recovery and reckless fighting style, these gladiators' fighting strength was no weaker than the extreme barbarians.

"Follow me. In the future, you don't have to be like wild beasts, killing each other for others to watch. As long as you serve me seriously and obey my orders, you can all live a normal life again."

Ning Shi casually said a few words and deliberately tore up the bloodline contract of the gladiators on the spot.

"Unfortunately, there was no hint of intimacy. It seems that there are no hero characters among these gladiators."

Following that, Ning Shi selected more than 200 people from the reserve gladiators who had yet to experience the cage free-for-all and contracted them as servants.

[Reputation points: Main body 1011 (slightly famous) / avatar (247/2347)(rather famous).]

He had contracted 2000 servants and 1 follower and had used up 2100 reputation points.

[The number of servants has reached 2000. The current number of servants that can be recruited has reached the upper limit.]

The number of servants could not be increased anymore, but reputation points were still needed because servants would also die. After death, to replenish the number of servants, reputation points were still needed.

The number of servants for the main storyline mission had been completed, and now he was only short of followers. Ning Shi planned to search for a few more days. If he could not find a hero character, he would find a lucky person to recruit as a follower.

"All gladiators, hide in the houses on both sides of the street. Extreme warriors, follow me. Stay alert and wait for the enemy to arrive!"

Ning Shi's actions today were not concealed and many people had seen them.

The news of the Lord of the extreme wilderness killing Anjelo was immediately received by Hilker, the president of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce.

The illegitimate son that His Majesty Joerger loved the most had died in Duohuang. If Hilker did not do anything, what awaited him would be wrath.

Hilker would definitely lead the Wild Lion Knights to Street No. 111 to take revenge for Anjelo.

Ning Shi was not a fool. He purposely gave the Duohuang Chamber of Commerce one day to gather their forces before using his own infantry to fight against the enemy's cavalry in the wild.

No matter how strong his troops were, this was not an acceptable action.

He had to take the initiative in the battle and let the enemy follow his rhythm.

Now, making use of Anjelo's death to lure Hilker's Wild Lion Knights to the streets and engage in street battles with them was the most advantageous way of fighting.

After waiting for half an hour, Hilker's Wild Lion Knights arrived at Street No. 111.

In order to transport goods, Duohuang's streets were extremely wide. A street more than ten meters wide was enough for ten knights to walk side by side.

With Ning Shi's reminder, all the merchants on Street No. 111 had already escaped.

At this moment, only the knights were walking forward in an orderly fashion on the empty street. The lions had meat pads, so they moved silently, creating a strange silence on the street.

Behind the 1000 Wild Lion Knights, there were 2000 Wolf Knights.

These Wolf Knights were clad in light armor, and the giant wolves under them were all beginner magical beasts, wind wolves. Their speed was extremely fast.

No wonder Hilker took more than half an hour to get here. He had gone to ask for reinforcements.

Beside Hilker was Piermont, who was clad in black light armor. Under him was a one-horned thunder rhinoceros.

"Lord Hilker, I'll advise you again. For the time being, hold back the idea of taking revenge. We'll have a greater chance of winning the decisive battle with the extreme battle group tomorrow morning."

"This is a street. Our cavalry can't display the advantage of speed and impact. On the contrary, the barbarians of the extreme battle group love street battles the most."

Hilker felt bitter in his heart. How could he not know that street battles were to the opponent's advantage? However, he could not wait.

"Lord Piermont, let me tell you the truth. Anjelo is His Majesty's most beloved child. I'm just a side branch of the royal family that no one loves."

"If I don't do anything and wait until tomorrow to start the final battle with the extreme battle group, His Majesty will definitely vent his anger on me."

"If I attack and kill the Lord of the extreme wilderness now, although I still have the responsibility of ineffective protection, I've done everything I can. The main fault isn't me and I can at least still escape unscathed."

"If I wait until tomorrow to attack and if the Lord of the extreme wilderness escapes, my end will probably be very miserable."

Piermont sighed. The King was high and mighty. He only needed the result of the victory, so he did not care about the sacrifice of the soldiers at the bottom.

Hilker continued, "Even if it is a street battle, our 3000 regular knights against 500 barbarians is a battle that we will definitely win. However, the proportion of casualties will be higher."

"Lord Piermont, don't worry. We have already signed a bloodline contract. After this battle, I will pay you an advanced magic core as promised. With it, you can continue to purify your bloodline and advance towards the supreme."

Piermont agreed with Hilker's judgment. This battle might be a bitter one, but the one who would win would definitely be his side.

After Hilker persuaded Piermont again, he waved his hand.

"Advance!"

After the team walked for hundreds of meters, they saw the extreme battle group standing neatly in the gladiator square on Street No. 111.

Hilker did not want to shout in public with Ning Shi. Anjelo's background was sensitive. If he said something in public that he should not say, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ning Shi was already impatient. He waved his hand and 500 extreme barbarians followed him and rushed towards the Wild Lion Knights.

500 people, taking the initiative to charge into the battle formation of 3000 people!

The extreme barbarians were covered in armor and held huge mace in their hands. The weight of their equipment alone was over hundreds of pounds.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Under the rapid running, the earth began to shake!

"Elevation angle, vibrating light bombs!" Hilke calmly gave the battle order.

The Wild Lion Knights raised their long swords in unison, and dazzling light waves condensed at the tip of their swords.

Thousands of light bombs quickly formed. After being shot into the sky at different elevation angles, they drew an arc and landed in the formation of the extreme battle group.

Rumble!

The light bombs rained down like a meteor shower, smashing holes into the street made of black rocks.

Even in the daytime, the street was still covered in white light. All the warriors of the extreme battle group were drowned in the light bombs and their figures could not be seen at all.

Hilker revealed a cruel smile and continued to shout, "The second round of light bombs!"

Another meteor shower of light bombs densely covered the location of the extreme battle group.

The barbarian warriors were hit by the light bombs and roared angrily.

As the trump card of the Brad Empire, the Wild Lion Knights were very powerful.

They could use golden mechs with strong defense in close combat. With the help of the knights with strong physiques and their invincible lightsaber technique, killing the enemies was as easy as drinking water.

The long-range magic light bombs could be used in a group attack. The coverage of the firepower was very fierce.

After the knights with the golden lion bloodline signed the knight contract with the three-eyed lion, they could borrow the magic power of the three-eyed lion to enhance their own magic effects. Both their endurance and damage would be greatly increased.

It was also the first time that Piermont of the Ole Empire saw a group battle of the Wild Lion Knights. He was shocked by the effect of the knights' firepower coverage.

"No wonder the Brad Empire is confident in fighting against our 3000-man Wolf Knight Legion and Griffin Knight Legion with only 1000 Wild Lion Knights."

Hilker was in a good mood, but he was not careless. He was about to give the order and release the third round of light bombs when Ning Shi had already passed through the white light and appeared in front of him.

The light bombs were too dense. In order to pursue speed, Ning Shi could only take them head-on.

At this moment, his armor was charred black, and his face was covered with black spots. They were all scars caused by the scorching heat of the light bombs. His hair was also charred, and he looked very miserable.

Ning Shi did not hold back at all. He ignored Hilker and directly rushed into the formation of the knights. He raised his large sword and swept across!

This slash was imbued with a weak sword intent and the lightning damage from the lightning field.

With a sweep of the broadsword, the golden mechs on the knights were shattered like glass.

There was a crashing sound as more than a dozen knights were swept away by the broadsword. They landed on the houses on both sides of the street and died.

Blood on the Street

Above Ning Shi's head, a thundercloud with a radius of three meters appeared and randomly released lightning toward the enemies on the ground.

Hilker, who rushed over in anger to fight Ning Shi, was affected by the thundercloud. He was paralyzed by the lightning in the thundercloud and his movements were much slower.

Ning Shi charged left and right within the knights' formation as if he had entered an uninhabited land. Every time he swung his sword at them, knights would fly out.

At this moment, it was obvious how the street battle affected the knights' formation. They stood in a dense formation and the evacuation was slow.

Affected by Ning Shi's draconic might, the three-eyed lion's movements were also a little stiff. It could not dodge Ning Shi's sword at all.

A moment later, the extreme barbarians all rushed out from the light bomb formation. Their armor was full of holes and dents. Blood could be seen at the corners of their mouths. Their faces were pitch-black, and their helmets were scattered in the light bomb array.

Some of the barbarians even had their arms broken.

Obviously, the light bomb array had dealt them a great deal of damage, but the purple regeneration talent was really extraordinary.

The heavily injured extreme barbarians were still alive and kicking. They rushed into the knights' formation while howling.

The barbarians' bodies were flashing with red lights. They had activated the barbarian battle formation and received the blessing of the God of power, which further increased their strength.

All the barbarians activated their berserk mode without any hesitation. The damage was immediately increased to full value.

The golden mechs and the lightsabers used by the knights were all useless against the huge maces used by the barbarians. The barbarians swung their huge maces down and sent the knights flying away.

Blood splattered and corpses flew everywhere.

At this moment, it was clear that the heavy weapons dominated the battle.

The battlefield was thrown into chaos by the barbarians. The brutal melee began.

The Wild Lion Knight raised his long sword and stabbed it into the barbarian warrior's body. The barbarian warrior did not resist at all, ignoring the long sword that pierced into his body. He directly raised the huge mace in his hand and smashed the Wild Lion Knight's head into pieces.

In terms of close combat, the extreme barbarians had more than 30 points of physique. Combined with the regeneration talent, berserk skills and the barbarian battle formation as a bonus, they completely crushed the Wild Lion Knights.

As for the Wolf Knights, they could only hide behind and release their wind blades to play guerilla warfare. The Wolf Knights were originally light cavalry soldiers that specialized in speed, so it was really difficult for them to fight in the streets.

"Retreat! Everyone, scatter and retreat!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hilker directly shouted out the command to retreat.

If there was a green mountain, there would be firewood.

As long as they preserve their current strength, with the support of the Duohuang Chamber of Commerce, they could still defeat Ning Shi with additional manpower.

Hilker was still calm. He knew that today's failure was because he had underestimated the enemy. He had underestimated the combat strength of the extreme barbarians and had chosen to fight in the streets.

If they were in the wild, the knights could use their speed to increase the distance between them. It would not be so easy for the extreme battle group to fight in close combat.

"Bloodthirst spell! Speed up the retreat!"

Hilker gave the correct command.

The Wolf Knights released their bloodthirst spell, and in an instant, all of the knights' speed increased.

The barbarian warriors did not adapt to it at the first moment, and the mace fell into the air. After the knights dodged it, they no longer entangled themselves and began to retreat.

The time was right. After Ning Shi killed one of the knights, he shouted loudly, "The encirclement begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of gladiators rushed out from both sides of the house, and a portion of the gladiators appeared on the knights' retreat path.

The knights were ambushed from all sides. Caught off guard, hundreds of knights were killed on the spot!

Piermont rode on the one-horned thunder rhinoceros and charged left and right. After knocking down a barbarian with his club, he roared angrily, "Hilker, you idiot, you forgot about the gladiators' combat strength!"

Hilker finally panicked. He was afraid that His Majesty the King would punish him, but he forgot that Ning Shi had already occupied the gladiator arena. After obtaining the bloodline contract, he could command the gladiators to fight.

In the end, he was too confident about the battle strength of the Wild Lion Knights.

At this moment, he recalled His Majesty Joerger's evaluation of him.

"Hilker's cultivation talent is good, and he also has talent. However, he is too rigid and can't understand the changes in the situation. In the end, it is difficult for him to take on a big responsibility."

Because of His Majesty's evaluation, Hilker was sent far away from the imperial capital and exiled to Duohuang.

He had never been convinced in his heart. He thought that His Majesty's evaluation was wrong and that he was underappreciated.

Now, he finally understood that His Majesty's words were true. For a moment, he was extremely dejected.

"Hilker, what are you standing there for! Let's charge out together!"

Piermont woke up Hilker. The defeat was already set. The two of them mustered up all their strength and charged out of the street together.

Ning Shi had his eyes on the two of them. He did not want to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

A wave of blade light burst out, blocking the path of Hilker and Piermont. The two of them had no choice but to restrain their mounts and stop.

According to Ning Shi's plan, 19 titled gladiators and Maku Gu would appear around them and start killing the two of them.

Hilker's body was covered in golden light. After equipping himself with an ultra-high-level golden mech, he took a wave of attacks head-on and released his ultimate move, "Shockwave".

Countless light waves spread out from his body. Wherever the light waves passed, deep ravines appeared on the streets, and all the houses were destroyed.

A titled gladiator could not dodge in time and was hit by the light waves. His body was immediately crushed into pieces and his regeneration talent could not save him.

Hilke's ugly face revealed a ferocious smile. He was about to launch another attack, but he realized that his body was no longer under his control.

His vision was spinning and his head rolled to the ground.

He had overestimated the defense of the golden mech. He took Ning Shi's full-force attack head-on, and the blade had already cut off his neck.

Seeing Hilker's death, Piermont transformed into a 4-meter-tall demonic ape. With his increased strength, he tried to break out of the encirclement. However, he was entangled by Ning Shi and the titled gladiators kept attacking him from the side.

In the end, he was outnumbered. After the transformation ended, he was killed by Ning Shi with a single slash and died with a grievance.

The two leaders died in battle. The knights who had no will to fight completely lost their bearings. They threw away their helmets and armor and fled in all directions.

The barbarian warriors and gladiators chased after them, madly destroying the enemy's remaining strength.

After another ten minutes of fighting, in the end, only a few hundred knights took advantage of the chaos to escape. 𝚗𝗈𝒱𝓔𝑳𝐔𝓈𝓫.𝓬𝗈𝑚

Thousands of corpses lay on the streets. Blood flowed like there was no end and dyed the black streets red.

Ning Shi took off his damaged armor and checked the system. The number of servants had dropped from 2000 to only 1851.

Although they had the upper hand in this battle, 149 people still died. The ones who died were mainly the reserved gladiators.

Three barbarian warriors had died. All of them had their heads cut off by the light sabers by accident.

With his regeneration talent, the casualties in this battle were relatively small. Ning Shi was very satisfied. The main reason was that his experience points had exploded to a substantial number.

The Wild Lion Knights and the Wolf Knights were both elites of the human empire. Each of them was at least Level 10. The minimum experience points received were 2000, while the maximum experience points received were 5000.

The total number of knights killed this time was close to 2700, with a total of 10,000,000 experience points.

Although most of them were killed by his servants and Ning Shi could only get 20% of the experience points, it was enough for him to level up.

[Bloodline warrior has leveled up to Level 11 (1,010,000/2,560,000). Physique 1, skill point 1, potential point 1.]

Physique increased by another point, reaching 40 points.

Every 10 points of physique was a checkpoint, and 40 points of physique felt more than twice as strong as 39 points!

[Physique reached 40 points, regeneration (purple) talent leveled up to undying (blue).]

[Undying (blue): Extremely fast recovery of injuries and physique, no weakness in the body, broken head, broken heart, can be recovered quickly. Remark: The undying effect can only be obtained when physique reaches 40 points or above.]

Ning Shi's regeneration talent evolved into undying. He felt extremely safe.

"After a small-scale battle, my level increased by one level. The game system seems to be guiding me to build a faction and participate in the war."

Ning Shi thought to himself.

"Unfortunately, the undying effect can not be shared with followers and servants because their physique is not enough."

After accumulating 2 skill points, Ning Shi once again leveled up his basic swordsmanship.

[Basic swordsmanship leveled up to Level 9, special sword grandmaster leveled up to master of swordsmanship, swordsmanship damage 300%.]

[Faint sword intent leveled up to weak sword intent. Sword intent can leave the body and release sharp sword energy.]

Ning Shi planned to level up his swordsmanship all the time. When he was young, he read Master Gu Long's novels and was especially envious of the Sword God's imposing manner.

"Sword energy traverses 30,000 miles, and one sword light can freeze 19 prefectures."

In order to display his strength advantage, Ning Shi could only use a heavy sword. The sword was the overlord of weapons and its power was not inferior.

As the saying goes, "One sword light could freeze 19 prefectures", which was also fascinating.

After upgrading, Ning Shi stopped daydreaming and said to his subordinates.

"Those who still have battle strength, follow me and charge toward Bloodline Street!"

Bloodline Street was the headquarters of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce. After defeating the Wild Lion Knights, the other guards of the Bloodline Chamber of Commerce were not worth mentioning.

Ning Shi led his army of servants and easily defeated the remaining forces of the Bloodline Chamber of Commerce.

The ten streets ruled by the Bloodline Chamber of Commerce also fell into Ning Shi's hands.

Along with Street No. 111 and Blood Crime Street, Ning Shi had already ruled 12 streets, becoming the largest force in Duohuang!

"Amy, from now on, the streets I rule will be the same as the Blood Crime Street. Fighting is strictly prohibited, we will continue to collect taxes and establish a new order."

"The gladiator arena will no longer engage in gladiatorial activities. The most popular polo activities on the Moen Continent will be carried out in the future. The slave trade will be banned, and all slaves will be taken in. I will use them in the future."

"You will select some smart and intelligent people and set up a City Hall to be responsible for the management of the streets. First, you need to do a good job in setting up trade rules and collecting taxes."

"Also, help me find some people who are good at intelligence work."

In this battle, Ningshi had taken down 11 streets in one go. It seemed very glorious, but he had also offended many big shots.

Having killed Anjelo, he had a direct grudge with His Majesty Joerger and the Grand Elder of the Moon Elves, Silverdew. They all wanted to take revenge on him.

After slaughtering the Wild Lion Knights and Wolf Knights, the two human empires would send troops to take revenge.

From the perspective of national interests, if Ning Shi wanted to establish order in Duohuang, the three empires would intervene.

"I need to establish an intelligence department as soon as possible to monitor the movements of the three empires."

Ning Shi thought to himself.

"It's very strange that the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce did not send out troops from the beginning to the end of this conflict."

Ning Shi was somewhat unable to guess Snow Mist's thoughts.

Although the forces of the three empires had been fighting endlessly in Duohuang among themselves, but when a foreign party wanted to establish order in Duohuang, they would come together to get rid of that party.

The Star Elf, Snow Mist, kept her distance after saying a few harsh words at the beginning.

What an unfathomable attitude.

"Boss, the President of the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce, Lord Snow Mist, is here to pay a visit."

Speak of the devil.

"Invite her in!"

Second Follower

Snow Mist walked into the meeting room of the original Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce, still looking as cold as ice.

"Lord Ning Shi, I want to confirm with you whether you killed Anjelo with your own hands."

Ning Shi was very surprised. He did not understand Snow Mist's logic.

If Snow Mist was afraid of Grand Elder Silverdew's censure and wanted to take revenge, she should have sent her troops to attack the extreme battle group with Hilker earlier.

Why would she wait for Hilker to die before coming to denounce him?

"I killed him. Do you want revenge? You're welcome anytime."

[Snow Mist has confirmed that you killed Anjelo, intimacy 10, current character's intimacy: 50.]

Ning Shi's expression changed. The intimacy level had appeared!

The Star Elf, Snow Mist, was actually a hero character.

Did she have any enmity with Anjelo?

Snow Mist's voice was cold and emotionless.

"Lord Ning Shi, you should be clear about Anjelo's background. He is the only son of the Grand Elder of the Moon Elves, Silverdew. If you kill Anjelo, there will be endless assassinations and revenge."

"Aren't you afraid?"

What a joke. It was just a game. What was there to be afraid of? If they couldn't beat him, they could just die and stay low for some time.

"I don't care about revenge at all. I will unify Duohuang and establish a new order here. It's only a matter of time before I offend the three empires."

[Snow Mist heard about your ambition to unify Duohuang. Intimacy 5,?current character's intimacy: 55.]

Ning Shi: ???

"I can form an alliance with Lord Ning Shi and help you unify Duohuang. I only hope that you can take in and protect the Star Elves."

Ning Shi almost suspected that he was hearing things.

"Aren't the Star Elves one of the three great elves of the Elven Empire? Do they still need my protection?"

Then, Ning Shi reacted. "There's an internal conflict in the Elven Empire?"

For the first time, Snow Mist's cold expression wavered, and a pained expression flashed across her face.

"That's right. My clansmen were slaughtered by the Moon Elves, and the Sun Elves chose to stand by and watch."

"The ancestral land of the Star Elves was taken over by the Moon Elves, and all the experts in the clan were killed or injured. Only the remnants of over ten thousand people took advantage of the chaos to escape. I have to find a new place for the Star Elves to live."

Ning Shi believed in Snow Mist's words. Because intimacy could not deceive others, no wonder Ning Shi was able to win Snow Mist's favor by killing Anjelo.

If the Moon Elves were determined to destroy the Star Elves, the other factions on the continent would not dare to get involved, and the Star Elves would indeed have nowhere to go.

Duohuang was the only choice.

There was something that Ning Shi found very strange, so he asked directly.

"As one of the three great elves, why were the Star Elves so easily defeated by the Moon Elves? Didn't the Moon Elves do this to exhaust the national strength of the Elven Empire?"

One had to know that the three kingdoms were standing at the peak of the continent. Everyone wanted to unify the continent, and the war had never stopped.

Such a self-destructive internal struggle was considered an idiotic act.

Snow Mist shook her head and told him the secret of the elves.

"The Elven Empire is known as one of the three great elven races, but there is a huge disparity in population. The Sun Elves have the largest population, more than 50 million people, and the Moon Elves have 30 million people. As for the Star Elves, due to the difficulty in reproduction, there are less than 100,000 people."

"The reason why the Star Elves are on par with the Sun Elves and Moon Elves is that we have a powerful divine weapon, the Starfall. This divine weapon is hidden in the mysterious starry sky, and it can release starlight divine spells from the sky. Its power is enough to destroy cities, and it is even more powerful than super magic."

"Among the three great elves, the Elven King had always been held by the Sun and Moon Elves alternatively, but the status of the Star Elves have always been detached."

Snow Mist's expression was slightly proud, but Ning Shi suddenly pricked her with a needle.

"If my guess is correct, the Star Elves relied on the Starfall to occupy the best resources of the Elven Empire with a small population, right?"

"Then, you all relied on the Starfall and began to slack off on your own cultivation. You were also arrogant and despotic within the Elven Empire. Finally, one day, the divine weapon Starfall disappeared. The Moon Elves, who had been holding grudges for a long time, could no longer hold it in and raised the butcher's knife in their hands."

Snow Mist was silent for a moment before she slowly said.

"That's right. My clansmen were too proud, but they wouldn't be massacred, right? I will definitely return the blood feud!"

Ning Shi chuckled and continued to attack Snow Mist.

"Anyone can say harsh words, but it's very difficult to achieve them. If you want to take revenge, on what basis? On your own powerful strength, or on the combined strength of ten thousand Star Elves?"

"Perhaps, you can use a honey trap and marry a king of the human empire to see if any king has gone mad and raised the strength of the entire country to take revenge for you."

Faced with Ning Shi's questioning and mockery, Snow Mist was speechless.

Ning Shi believed that Snow Mist had a chance to take revenge because she was a hero character. Such a person would be able to stir up the tides of the era in the future.

However, Ning Shi had to strike her down and then give her hope.

"Duohuang is a place with great potential. There are 500,000 permanent residents in the city and close to a million people living in the surrounding villages. If you count the barbarians, beastmen and goblins on the deserted north plains, the population is over ten million."

"Establishing a new order here is enough to develop a powerful duchy. This is your hope for revenge."

"And the power you have now can't beat me. Duohuang can only be mine."

Most of the troops of the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce were Sun Elves and Moon Elves. After the internal strife, Snow Mist could no longer command the longbow group and the magic team.

As for the Star Elves who fled, most of them were underage and were not good at fighting.

Snow Mist's intelligence was extremely high. She understood Ning Shi's intentions.

"The Star Elves are willing to become your subordinates, but you must swear a bloodline oath. One day, you must take revenge for the Star Elves!"

With his goal achieved, Ning Shi smiled.

"No problem. I swear on my bloodline that when the time is right, I will help the Star Elves complete their revenge."

Ning Shi's expression turned solemn as he asked in a clear voice.

"Star Elf Snow Mist, are you willing to become my follower? From now on, you will target my goals and benefit from my interests."

Snow Mist lowered her head. "I am willing to follow in your footsteps."

[After deducting 100 reputation points, the follower contract has been signed. Snow Mist will soon activate the hero character template. Players are requested to choose three types of talents to share with Snow Mist.]

The reputation of the game avatar increased to 558/2758 (rather famous). As Ning Shi defeated the knights and occupied 12 streets, his reputation increased rapidly.

Ning Shi stared at Snow Mist's beautiful face and said, "Snow Mist, as your boss, I will bestow you with an undying body, the power of lightning, the might of a dragon and endless potential!"

Lightning field (blue), undying (blue) and draconic might (blue) were shared by Ning Shi with Snow Mist.

Among them, undying (blue) could only display the effect of the purple regeneration talent because Snow Mist's physique had not reached 40 points.

[Talent selection completed. Snow Mist's character template has been activated successfully.]

Character: Snow Mist

Physique: 16 (20)

Spiritual Power: 31 (40)

Appearance: 10 (starry dream-like appearance)

Family Background: 8 (daughter of the Grand Elder of the Star Elves)

Bloodline: Star Elf (Level 9)

Profession: Starlight priest Level 17 (0/50,000)

Skills: Rapid spellcasting Level 6, Starfall spell Level 5, star orbit Level 6

Talents: Learning (gold), star (purple), fate (purple), lightning field (blue), regeneration (purple), draconic might (blue)

Achievements: The new leader of the Star Elves

[Star (purple): Greatly increases the affinity of starlight elements, spellcasting speed greatly increased, starlight magic damage increased by 300%.]

[Starfall spell: Summons the stars to fall, dealing damage to ground units.]

[Star orbit: Summons several miniature planets to surround the main body. The planets can block damage and also support the main body to move.]

Compared to Hilker and Piermont, Snow Mist's individual strength was slightly weaker. However, as a mage unit, the destructive power of a group battle was even more astonishing.

Snow Mist's profession level had reached Level 17, but the system's initial leveling experience was not high.

Just like Bruce, Snow Mist was shocked by the character template. Her horizons were much higher than Bruce's. 𝚗𝗈𝒱𝓔𝑳𝐔𝓈𝓫.𝓬𝗈𝑚

"Boss, are you the messenger of the God of Slaughter, Muro? Only the God of Slaughter can allow people to gain strength from killing and strengthen themselves."

Ning Shi was in a good mood after recruiting another hero character as his follower. He started to joke.

"I'm a faithless person and don't know the God of Slaughter. I belong to a mysterious organization — the Fourth Calamity."

Snow Mist noticed the casual tone of Ning Shi's words and knew that he was joking, so she reminded him.

"Boss, gods really exist. Don't joke about gods. There's a proverb in the Moen Continent: 'The end of the bloodline is a super magical beast, and the end of natural magic is a God'."

"Even if you don't believe in it, don't blaspheme."

Ning Shi was interested. He asked, "Why do the humans with the largest population not believe in gods, but a few other races do? Don't gods need believers the most?"

"It's said that a thousand years ago, there were a lot of natural mages, and they were very firm in their belief in gods. Then there was a catastrophe, and humans began to specialize in bloodlines, walking on the path of bloodline warriors and bloodline mages."

"The Elven scholars had many speculations about the specific content of the catastrophe."

"Some said that the gods were attacked by unknown creatures from the outside world, and they collectively retreated to the Divine Kingdom, unable to respond to the prayers of their believers. Some said that the super magical beasts defeated the gods, and the human race only followed the footsteps of the victors."

"In short, after the catastrophe, the power of the gods shrank rapidly, and they gradually stopped appearing in the world frequently. But to us, the gods are still high and mighty, and can not be blasphemed."

Ning Shi nodded and stopped discussing this topic.

"I will temporarily hand over the leadership of the extreme battle group to you. You first take down the 10 streets controlled by the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce and then defeat the Griffin Chamber of Commerce in one go."

"After eliminating the forces of the three empires, unification of Duohuang is just around the corner."

Snow Mist's heart was set on revenge, and she was very concerned about the unification of Duohuang. She bowed and left.

After a while, Amy walked in with a group of beastmen.

Most of the beastmen were female. They had furry ears on their heads, and their eyes were round and deep, like a pair of round gemstones. They also had long tails.

"Boss, these are cat assassins. They're good at assassination and intelligence work."

Ning Shi didn't hesitate. He immediately made hundreds of cat assassins his servants.

The intelligence department of the extreme battle group was officially established. The leader of the cat people, Sonya, was the person in charge of the intelligence department.

Following that, Ning Shi contracted dozens of servants, filling up the number of servants to 2000.

The Meaning of Being a Principal

[Magic Core Cannon: A fixed defensive weapon that cannot be moved. After installing the magic core, it can release the magic cannonballs.]

Duohuang did not even have a city wall. In order to unleash the power of the magic core cannon, they had to build a city wall for Duohuang first.

After completely abolishing the slave trade, they could free a batch of slave labor. Ning Shi planned to hire them to build a city wall. 𝑛𝑶𝒱𝖊𝐿𝑢𝔰𝒃.𝓬𝒪𝗆

All of this could only be slowly realized after unifying Duohuang.

[Main Storyline Mission 3: Occupy the entire Duohuang City.]

As expected, the main storyline mission of the game was to establish a force. Who knows, they might have to fight for hegemony later on and unify the continent?

Ning Shi was not against this.

To wake up and control the world, to be drunk on a beauty's knees, was the ultimate dream of many men.

It was not bad to experience it in the game.

[Incoming call, the contact is "Xiao Yun from the Special Affairs Department".]

Yun Moxiang called and Ning Shi picked up.

"Consultant Ning, after a week, the consultant entry procedures have been completed. The permissions of your awakener forum account have been changed simultaneously. You can log into the relevant sections to see the information about the insect plague."

"In addition, the school's matters have been completed. The student reporting work has begun. It is estimated that 5000 students will be enrolled. The school will start in three days."

"Are you free tomorrow morning? I will take you to the school to take a look and meet the teachers. If you have any requests, you can also make them."

"There will be a school opening meeting when the school starts. As the principal, you will give a commencement speech."

"Do you need me to prepare a speech for you?"

Ning Shi was still a little nervous about becoming the principal.

"I'll prepare the speech myself. There's no need for you to prepare it."

Yun Moxiang habitually complimented, "As expected of the youngest consultant in the Special Affairs Department. Your style of work is excellent and you do things personally. You are not like some old consultants who need a liaison to do everything."

"Then tomorrow at 9 a.m., I will wait for you at your residential building and drive you to school."

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Ning Shi hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was already 7 p.m., so he exited the first perspective and let his avatar take action.

After ordering take-out, Ning Shi immediately logged into the awakener forum. He found the "family matters" section in the corner of the forum and clicked in.

"The account permissions are at the headquarters level. You can inquire about the information in the section. Please comply with the relevant policies and regulations, and strictly abide by relevant confidentiality."

"Please follow the instructions to perform facial recognition...facial recognition successful."

"Please follow the instructions to perform an iris scan..."

"It has been detected that the account host has not installed an iris scanner. The scan has failed. The identity authentication is password plus face recognition. It is considered a weak authentication. Only part of the information can be browsed."

After the authentication process, Ning Shi entered the "family matters" section.

"Introduction to world boundary: World boundary, also known as the world corridor, is a passage connecting to the other world. According to the analysis of the characteristics of the three world boundaries discovered by our country, the length of the world boundary is usually about 50 kilometers, the width is about 10 kilometers, and the safe height is about 1000 meters."

"Our country once sent drones into the sky above the world boundary. At a height of more than 1000 meters, it was a violent space storm. Any material that entered it would be crushed."

"The formation period of the world boundary was expected to be between one month and half a year. In the beginning, it was just a gray and narrow space, but as time passed, it slowly formed a space corridor. During the formation period, entering the world boundary was dangerous as one would be swept into a space storm."

"After the formation period ended, the boundary stabilized and fortifications could be built."

"Inside the world boundary, the land was barren. The oxygen content in the air was about 25% to 28%, and the concentration was 4 to 7 percentage points higher than in the outside world. There were no adverse reactions to long-term human habitation."

"At present, there were six known world boundaries in the world, and all of them were insect disaster world boundaries. Among them, there were three in China, one in the Black Bear Country, one in the Mieln Federation, and one in the Kingdom of Mies."

"Passing through the world boundary, the world we entered is called the insect world."

At this point, Ning Shi could not see the rest of the information. His certification was not strong enough, so he could not view the relevant information about the insect world.

Ning Shi began to browse the information on the insects.

"The classification and analysis of the characteristics of the insects in the insect plaque..."

"How to set up a defense according to the characteristics of the insects..."

"How to prevent the splitting of the blood thorn insects..."

"The thunder moth is not afraid of the electric net and fire. It will also release around 1000 volts of electricity. How to target the defense..."

"How to break the hard shell of the golden armored ants..."

Ning Shi's expression was solemn. He saw the cruelty and sacrifice behind the research.

Sure enough, there were battle videos of insects as they entered the world boundary.

Ning Shi clicked on the video.

At the world boundary, the country had set up many layers of tall electric nets and built a metal city wall. There were all kinds of flame shotguns and other weapons on the top of the wall.

The soldiers took their positions in the defense fortifications, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Countless insects gathered together, forming a black storm that rushed toward the defense fortifications.

A text narration appeared in the video.

"The first wave of insects, gold-eating ants. A type of flying ant that can devour all substances and the number was extremely large. The city walls were like food in front of them. Weakness: Fear of fire and electric shock."

The gold-eating ants kept crashing into the electric fence. Gradually, the charred corpses of the gold-eating ants piled up into a mountain below the electric fence.

As the gold-eating ants continued to attack recklessly, a gap was finally gnawed open on the first layer of the electric fence.

They continued to charge toward the second layer of the electric fence along the gap.

After using up three layers of the electric fence, the gold-eating ants were completely eliminated.

Next were the sickle locust and the bloodthirsty mosquito. With the cooperation of the soldiers' fortifications and various weapons, although there were occasional dangerous situations, the line of defense was very stable.

Then, a terrible thing happened.

For the first time, thunder moths appeared at the world boundary.

They ignored the electric current damage of the electric net and easily tore it apart, rushing into the world boundary.

The densely packed thunder moths appeared in front of the soldiers!

The soldiers did not understand the characteristics of the thunder moth at all. The flintlocks were useless and the thick protective clothing could not withstand the electric shock. Countless soldiers were electrocuted to death by the thunder moths.

However, no one retreated. The soldiers moved forward one after another, using their bodies to build a steel wall.

They stood firm at the border, not retreating even if they died!

Fortunately, there were a large number of awakeners participating in the battle. Among them, the electric-type awakeners were not afraid of the thunder moth's electric shock. They supported from all directions, barely maintaining the defensive line.

It was not until some soldiers picked up high-pressure water guns to shoot the thunder moth and discovered the thunder moth's weakness of being afraid of water that they were able to withstand the thunder moth's attack.

After more than an hour of battle, the thunder moths were finally completely destroyed!

At the end of the video, the screen turned black and a white narration appeared.

"The first time I encountered the thunder moth, 4531 heroes died in battle, of which 4219 were ordinary soldiers and 312 were awakeners. One day, the mountains and rivers will be safe, and their names will be written into history."

"If one day, I also become a cold number on the white captions, dear comrades, please don't cry for me. The mountains and rivers of our motherland are so beautiful, and our sacrifices will eventually lead to victory."

After watching the video, Ning Shi's eyes turned red. Just one attack from the thunder moths had killed so many soldiers.

Thinking back to the analysis of the characteristics of the insects he had seen before, it was a summary of how many soldiers had been sacrificed in exchange for the information.

He finally understood the true meaning of that sentence.

"There's no such thing as a peaceful time. It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you."

At this moment, Ning Shi finally understood the great significance of being a principal.

Previously, he had agreed to be a principal because, firstly, he was willing to do something for the strength-type awakeners, and secondly, he felt that the principal's social status was high. In the future, he would have trained a large number of talents, which was a very awesome thing to do.

Now, he had found a more important meaning.

In the wave of the National Awakening, only by contributing his own strength to the country and society would he be worthy of the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives.

To protect the country, he had to start with education.

The takeout arrived. Ning Shi hurriedly had a quick dinner and began to plan the school's affairs carefully.

Teaching Conference

The next morning, Yun Moxiang arrived five minutes early in an Audi A5.

As expected, officials liked to drive an Audi.

Seeing that there was no one in the car, Ning Shi sat in the front passenger seat out of politeness.

Today, Yun Moxiang wore a hip-wrapping short skirt and paired it with black stockings, perfectly outlining her long and round thighs.

Ning Shi was sitting in the front passenger seat. Out of a man's instinct to appreciate beauty, he could not help but take a few more glances at her.

Yun Moxiang's senses were very strong. When she felt Ning Shi's gaze, her heart finally felt at peace.

The last time she talked to Ning Shi, her elaborate outfit did not work at all, causing Yun Moxiang to be greatly frustrated. So this time, she changed her outfit again.

She deliberately wore black silk.

According to her observation, Ning Shi rarely went out and always stayed at home. He was definitely an otaku.

The netizens had said that otaku loved black silk, and it was indeed so.

If Ning Shi knew about Yun Moxiang's psychological activities, he would definitely be dumbfounded.

When talking about serious matters, Ning Shi wouldn't care whether you were a beauty or not and would just talk about the matter.

Once there was no conflict of interest, who wouldn't like beautiful things if a beauty was in front of you?

"Consultant Ning, do you have any thoughts on the name of the school? The current name is Donglin City's First Strength Awakener School. Do you feel a strong sense of a vocational school?"

Yun Moxiang and Ning Shi had met a few times. The two of them were more familiar with each other, so they began to talk casually.

"We collected a lot of names, such as Alice College, Jianlibao College, Hercules College, Pangu College and Donglin City's Lidao Changhong School. A very long list of names."

Ning Shi's mouth twitched. What kind of names were these? He said casually.

"Although we're a specialized school for strength-type awakeners, we still have to teach culture classes, right? I don't think there's a need to add awakeners and strength-type labels to the name of the school."

When they reached the intersection, they ran into a red light and stopped the car. Yun Moxiang turned her head to look at Ning Shi and said.

"According to the agreement we signed, you have a lot of authority as the principal. You can change the name of the school after you think about it."

"There are a total of 18 awakener schools in Donglin City, including the Donglin City's First Awakener School and Donglin City's New Beginning Awakener School. These names have all been registered. When you change your name, be careful not to repeat."

Ning Shi shrugged. "Forget it. The name doesn't matter. Just use the current name. If we were to change the name, the school gate will have to be rebuilt. There's no need."

The red light turned green. Yun Moxiang stepped on the accelerator and the car started again. After about 40 minutes, they finally reached the school gate.

The school gate was a memorial archway that was about 10 meters wide and 5 meters tall.

This memorial archway had four pillars and three structures. There were four stone pillars, which meant that students from all directions were welcome.

There were three gates. One in the middle was the gate for cars and two side gates for pedestrians.

In the middle of the archway, the words "First Strength" were written in the font of the founding leader of Yunmeng Kingdom.

Ning Shi's first impression of the main gate was that it was solemn and dignified. Although it was a newly built archway, it had an additional sense of heaviness.

Yun Moxiang did not drive into the school. Instead, she found a parking spot outside the school and brought Ning Shi into the campus on foot.

"In order to save manpower and material resources and increase efficiency, the official awakener schools basically use the method of moving around. With the total number of students unchanged, the best way is to move around."

"There were originally 118 high schools in Donglin City. We vacated 17 of them and allocated the students who did not awaken from these 17 high schools to other schools."

"On top of these 17 high schools, we will expand and update the facilities to establish an awakener school."

Ning Shi walked into the campus and immediately understood when he saw the brand new teaching buildings and newly planted green trees.

"In other words, our school is the only completely new school in Donglin City?"

"Yes, we are the only completely new school. It is also the largest awakener school with the best facilities and environment. Of course, the principal is also the strongest." 𝒏𝑜𝓋𝐞𝓁𝓊𝐒𝐁.𝑐𝑂𝓂

Complimenting the leader had become Yun Moxiang's professional instinct. Ning Shi was now a consultant at the headquarters and could be considered Yun Moxiang's leader in terms of rank.

It was not necessarily the best environment. The school was built at the foot of the beautiful Luojia Mountain. Next to it was Dongyang Lake, the largest lake in Donglin City. It was close to the mountains and water. It was indeed a good environment.

However, the school was located in Donglin City's high-tech development zone and the surrounding area was under development. From the looks of it, the location was a deviation from the city center of Donglin City.

Ning Shi also understood that every inch of land in Donglin city was precious. It was really difficult to find a piece of land in the city center to build a school.

If the school was built in the development zone, it would be easy to find a piece of land. It could also effectively drive the economic development of the development zone, killing many birds with one stone.

Even if there were awakeners, the country's economic development was still the most important thing. After all, most of the people in society were still ordinary people. The awakeners also had to feed their families and earn money.

As long as the country's order did not collapse, the awakeners had to learn how to earn money through proper means.

On the campus, there were teaching buildings, libraries, training rooms, playgrounds, and all sorts of functional areas.

Yun Moxiang had done her homework in advance, and every functional area was clearly introduced to Ning Shi.

"The youngest of the students recruited this time is only 14 years old, and the oldest is 18 years old. There are many problems when teaching together. So today, I invited all the teachers to discuss the teaching model."

"The culture teacher is also here?"

"No, the culture class is still the same as before. It's just that the learning task is slightly lighter, and a law course has been added. It teaches the students the basic rules that the awakeners should follow."

Yun Moxiang walked into the main teaching building and continued, "The teachers should have already arrived. They are in the meeting room on the second floor. Let's go in."

When they entered the meeting room, over 60 teachers had all arrived. All of them were staring at Ning Shi with sparkling eyes.

A white-haired old man was the first to stand up. His figure was as tall and straight as a great spear. He stood tall and upright, exuding the aura of a grandmaster.

"This old man, Li Daqiang, welcomes Principal Ning's arrival."

All the teachers stood up in unison.

"Welcome, Principal Ning!"

Ning Shi felt very surprised. He had thought that at his young age, there would definitely be many people who would not accept him as the principal of a school.

Especially among these teachers, many of them were highly respected martial arts seniors.

He did not expect that everyone would treat him with such courtesy.

"Teachers, please take a seat. I'm sorry to have made you wait for so long." Upon arriving at the school, Ning Shi spoke in a somewhat scholarly manner, "I am a late bloomer in the last semester and have the audacity to take the position of principal. If I have done anything wrong, I hope that all of you teachers will bear with me."

Sitting next to Li Daqiang was a black-faced man. He carried a thick broadsword on his back. His bare arms were very thick and muscular.

On his seat, there was a nameplate, "Duan Qixun."

Upon hearing Ning Shi's words, Duan Qixun shouted loudly.

"Principal Ning, there's no need to be so wishy-washy. We're all strength-type awakeners, and we believe that the strong are respected. Whoever has the biggest fist will be the one who speaks the truth."

"If you can defeat a Tier 6 awakener with one punch, then you're the boss of the strength-type awakeners. We'll do whatever you say."

Li Daqiang added, "That's right. Those who are capable are the first. We're all willing to accept the official invitation to become teachers here because of you, Principal Ning."

Before Ning Shi could reply, Yun Moxiang had already adjusted the projection equipment. She stood in the middle of the podium and began to preside over the meeting.

"Hello, everyone. You should all know me. Time is precious, so let me cut to the chase. First, let me introduce a few important people to you."

"As everyone knows, Principal Ning Shi is a powerhouse who defeated a Tier 6 awakener with a single punch. He is also the principal of First Strength Awakener School. Other than him, there is also the fifth generation successor of Li family's Bajiquan, Mr Li Daqiang."

"Mr Li Daqiang is the vice president of the Yunmeng Kingdom Martial Arts Association. Not only has his Bajiquan and Bajiquan great spear reached the peak of perfection, but he has also established a training class for Bajiquan that has swept the world. He is a martial arts master with rich teaching experience."

"The Bajiquan Essentials that you all learned on the awakener forum were shared selflessly by Master Li."

Li Daqiang stood up to pay his respects, and Ning Shi clapped along with everyone.

"Literature has Taiji to keep the world safe, and martial arts has Bajiquan to stabilize the universe."

The power of Bajiquan was needless to say.

The Li family's Bajiquan was inherited from the Bajiquan master, Li Shuwen.

Li Shuwen practiced the Wu family's Bajiquan, getting rid of the weeds and keeping the flowers. He excelled at the Bajiquan, especially the Bajiquan great spear. His spear techniques had reached the realm of "piercing a fly on the wall, the fly fell and left the wall without a trace", and he was known as "Godly Spear Li".

Looking at Li Daqiang's figure and temperament, his fist techniques and spear techniques were probably not inferior to his ancestor, Li Shuwen. After all, Li Shuwen lived in a period where there were no awakeners, and his physical strength was limited.

The times were always moving forward.

"To the left of Master Li is the master of swordsmanship, Mr Duan Qixun. Master Duan has studied swordsmanship of various schools in Yunmeng Kingdom. After decades of hard work and innovation, he has written a great book of swordsmanship, 'A Brief Analysis of Basic Swordsmanship'."

"The swordsmanship that everyone is learning on the forum is half of Master Duan's life's work. It is known as basic swordsmanship but it actually refers to the essence of swordsmanship and contains the ultimate meaning of swordsmanship."

Following that, Yun Moxiang introduced a few big shots: Master Zhang Yunyou, who created the Cloud Shadow Steps; Professor Bi Qun, who researched the structure of the human body's exertion of force; and Master Xia Ningbing, who invented the ultimate training method of willpower.

The ancient martial arts heritage of the Yunmeng Kingdom had also sent their teachers over, such as the Taoist priest Jue Chen, the Taiji sword master from Wudang Mountain, and Shi Hu, the Luohan fist master of Shaolin, and so on.

Ning Shi was grateful. If it weren't for the selfless sharing of the few masters, it would be impossible for them to learn such good swordsmanship, fist techniques and footwork. These secret manuals would not be passed on.

Without these skills, the leveling speed of the game avatar would be much slower.

At the same time, Ning Shi also sighed. Strength-type awakeners were full of talents. Unfortunately, the body forging method in the national martial arts had a limit, and strength-type awakener did not have a way forward.

That was why the cultivation of these masters was stagnant.

Once they found the right method, with decades of accumulation, the cultivation of the masters would advance by leaps and bounds.

Ning Shi had the extreme body forging method, so he would not rashly pass it on to others for the time being.

Firstly, the extreme body forging method was extremely dangerous. It required the practitioner to walk at the edge of the body's limits. If the practitioner was not careful, it would easily cause irreversible damage to the body. Ning Shi needed to experiment and familiarize himself with it first.

Secondly, people were unpredictable. If they passed on the secret body forging method to others and accidentally passed it on abroad, it would be used by evil elements or enemy forces to strengthen their strength. That would be aiding the enemy.

Ning Shi would spread the extreme body forging method to strengthen the overall strength of the country to deal with future disasters. However, he needed to plan for it slowly.

After introducing the important figures, Yun Moxiang continued.

"We are the world's first strength-type awakener specialized school. The teaching of culture has been arranged. There are many problems to be solved in the teaching of martial arts. This time, we have invited everyone here in advance to discuss the teaching policy."

"First, I would like to invite Principal Ning Shi to present his ideas."

Influence and Disagreement

Ning Shi walked up to the podium in the conference room.

"As far as I know, the Special Affairs Exchange Bureau has already introduced the awakener level certification system. Once an awakener is successfully certified, its effect is equivalent to a graduation certificate, and he can rely on the certification to obtain employment."

"The existing awakener level certification system is completely tailored for elemental-type and spiritual-type ability users, and it doesn't apply to strength-type awakeners at all."

The teachers below were stunned. They didn't expect Ning Shi to not talk about the teaching policy when he went on stage. Instead, he first talked about the issue of awakener certification.

Some people might think that this had nothing to do with teaching, but Ning Shi felt that it was extremely important. If strength-type awakeners didn't have a gradation system that was suitable for them, how would the school understand and track the teaching results?

After students graduated, if they didn't have a gradation certification that matched their strength, they would naturally be one level lower than other awakeners.

After a strength-type awakener's ability was awakened, the strength, speed, physical strength and recovery ability of the body would gradually increase. There was no such thing as releasing special abilities or engraving special ability moves.

"I suggest that we first implement a simple level classification system in the school. Those whose fist strength exceeds 1000 kg will be a Tier 1 strength-type awakener, those whose fist strength exceeds 2000 kg will be a Tier 2 awakener, those whose fist strength exceeds 3000 kg will be a Tier 3 awakener, and those whose fist strength exceeds 5000 kg will be a Tier 4 awakener."

"This is an example. As for the specific grading values, all the teachers can discuss and decide together."

"If our grading system is used well, we can try to recommend it to the authorities in the future, and the authorities can promote it throughout the country."

The teachers below the stage nodded one after another.

"As for teaching, I suggest that all the students be graded according to the time of admission, up to the fourth grade. In other words, this batch of students will graduate in four years at the latest."

"Students who have reached Tier 4 awakener and are proficient in two or more martial arts techniques can apply to graduate early..."

Ning Shi explained his plans one by one. The teachers also joined in the discussion, and one teaching policy after another was gradually formulated.

As the principal, Ning Shi had a small house on the hillside of the school to live in. The chefs in the school cafeteria had already moved in and provided meals to the principal on a regular basis.

Ning Shi was ready to move out of the rented house and move into the school directly.

Yun Moxiang still had something to do. Seeing that the meeting was going smoothly, she had to leave first.

Before she left, she said to Ning Shi, "Consultant Ning, as the principal, you have 50 special enrollment slots. If you feel that it's not enough, you can increase them appropriately."

Ning Shi frowned. "What do you mean by special enrollment slots? I can recruit students at will?"

Yun Moxiang stroked her hair and replied.

"It seems that you don't understand the influence of the Donglin City's First Strength Awakener School. Li Daqiang, Duan Qixun and the others are all masters of the martial arts world in the country. They are respected seniors in the strength-type awakener circle. It's not an exaggeration to say that the world is full of their students."

"Such a group of people are all gathered in a school to be teachers. The principal of this school is also recognized as the number one strength-type awakener. As long as they are strength-type awakeners, who wouldn't want to come here to study?"

"The First Strength Awakener School's enrollment quota is only 5000 people, but there are a total of 6.15 million strength-type awakeners at the right age. One can imagine how precious the enrollment quota is."

Ning Shi understood. He asked in return, "How does the government allocate student quotas?"

"We have organized a test for awakened youths to record their growth in physical fitness after awakening. Those ranked in the top 2000 will be directly admitted."

Hearing Yun Moxiang's words, Ning Shi continued to ask, "Isn't this unfair to the young awakeners? Why only the top 2000?"

"There is no absolute fairness. The young awakeners before the age of 18 can apply to our school again every year. They have more opportunities."

"Only the top 2000 students will be admitted because there are still 3000 places that have to take into account local opinions and economic benefits."

"Every state needs to have admission places, especially for the awakeners in the backward areas. They need to be taken care of."

Yun Moxiang pointed at the high-tech intelligent training room in the school.

"As for the economic benefits, it's a very practical problem. Just the construction of this training room alone cost more than 100 million yuan."

"Running a school is very expensive. We can't always rely on the official funds and subsidies. Under the circumstances where there is not much difference in the students' qualifications, those who are willing to donate education funds can have priority in obtaining admission places."

Ning Shi laughed. "Be more direct. How much is an admission spot?"

"It starts at one million. There's no cap on it. After all, it's a donation."

D*mn, 3000 places would be at least three billion. With more donors, it wouldn't be a problem to earn more than ten billion if they competed.

Education emphasized fairness. If they relied on recruiting students to earn money, it would be completely inconsistent with Ning Shi's original intention of being a principal.

"I don't accept using recruitment quotas to induce donations. Absolutely not!"

Ning Shi was about to continue refuting when his mother, Wang Yan, called.

Ning Shi picked up. His mother's voice was a little hesitant and uncertain.

"Little Shi, you're a principal now? Haven't you always been working as a programmer?"

Afraid that his mother would nag at him, Ning Shi had never told her about his resignation.

"I quit my job as a programmer. I'm an awakener. The authorities saw that I was quite capable, so they made me a principal."

Hearing this, Wang Yan's voice immediately rose by an octave.

"Little b*stard, you really have no conscience. You didn't even tell mom about such a big matter. When mom knew about your news, she still had to rely on her friends to relay it. I'm so angry!"

After his mother scolded him on the other end of the phone, she asked again, "Is it dangerous to be the principal? Son, don't do anything dangerous. I heard that awakeners like to fight and get into fights. They are prone to death and injury. You mustn't be impulsive. You have to endure everything for a while and take a step back..."

Seeing that his mother was going to nag him again, Ning Shi hurriedly interrupted her.

"Mom, why are you looking for me? Hurry up and tell me. There are many urgent matters at my school."

"It's like this. Mom has a business friend, President Zhang. You've met him before. He attended your university graduation banquet. President Zhang has a son who is 16 years old this year. He is very good. After eating the awakening potion, he successfully awakened. He is a strength-type awakener."

Ning Shi was speechless. Here was someone who's using the backdoor. No wonder the government wanted to give him 50 special enrollment slots.

His mother continued, "President Zhang's son wants to enter your school. He's not taking advantage of you. He's willing to give a donation of one million yuan. Son, you're the principal. This small matter shouldn't be a problem, right? I've already given President Zhang my word."

Yun Moxiang stood beside Ning Shi and heard the contents of the phone call clearly. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. As a social person, relationships were like a big net that you couldn't escape even if you wanted to.

She thought to herself, "This time, Ning Shi won't object anymore. His mother is begging for it."

However, Ning Shi's reaction was unexpected. 𝚗𝗈𝗏𝗲𝓁𝑢𝓢𝓫.𝗰𝗈𝓂

"Mom, the enrollment policy has already been set. It will be based on the rankings. I can't decide. In the future, if this kind of business friend comes to you, you can directly refuse."

"If he's a benefactor or a blood relative who you can't refuse, I'll teach him myself and he won't need to go to school."

"Your son doesn't want to do these dirty things. Mom, don't make things difficult for me."

Wang Yan on the other end of the phone heard her son's words, but she wasn't angry.

"Alright, why would a mother make things difficult for her son? I'll reject President Zhang's offer. Take care of your body and don't tire yourself out. If there's anything you need to tell me, do you hear me?"

"Alright, Mom. Take care of yourself too. I'm hanging up. Let's talk at home another day."

Ning Shi hung up the phone, stared at Yun Moxiang and said resolutely.

"You heard it too. I even rejected my own mother. I don't want the special enrollment slots. The 5000 enrollment slots will be determined according to fair rules. I absolutely won't allow any money to be involved!"

It was not that Ning Shi did not know how to be flexible. After working for five years, he had already understood the ways of society and would be more tactful.

But this time, he wanted to stick to his original intention.

Education fairness was the foundation of all fairness. If he lost education fairness, he would lose not only the path to promotion, but also the hope of society.

"If the government doesn't agree, then please find someone else to be the principal!"

Yun Moxiang shook her head and sighed.

"I didn't expect Consultant Ning to be an idealist. Unfortunately, reality is cruel."

"The registration fee for students is 5000 yuan a year, and the accommodation fee is 800 yuan a semester. These are just small expenses."

"For strength-type awakeners, food is the biggest expense. To exercise, you must eat well. Consultant Ning, as a strength-type awakener, you should know your appetite."

"Your one serving is equivalent to a full-day meal of others, and after vigorous exercising, you all tend to eat more."

Yun Moxiang asked, "The awakeners of poor families can't afford this money. How do you, as the principal, solve it? Also, the depreciation of training equipment and the maintenance of school facilities, which one doesn't need money?"

Ning Shi was so angry that he laughed. He handed over the consultant's ID and the key to the principal's residence.

"It should be the official job to guarantee the admission of poor students and give them food subsidies. Where does the official money come from? Do you need me to remind you?"

"Running a school for education is a major matter of people's livelihood that doesn't care about benefits. If you want me to be a principal who is responsible for profits and losses, you'd better find an economics master or a well-known entrepreneur to be the principal!"

"Using the enrollment quota to make money is no different from selling official titles in ancient times. The person who came up with this idea is definitely a big idiot!"

"I don't want to work with such a big idiot. I don't want to be a consultant anymore."

Using the enrollment quota to induce donations was the idea of Yun Moxiang's immediate superior, the director of the Special Affairs Exchange Bureau, Tian Jun.

Yun Moxiang also felt that this idea was not bad, so she followed it.

This was a common problem for the staff of the Exchange Bureau. Working in the Exchange Bureau did not require them to fight on the front lines. They were responsible for dealing with personnel issues. Knowing how to be tactful and flexible was more important than being strong in battle.

At this moment, seeing that Ning Shi wanted to give up the responsibility, Yun Moxiang was a little flustered. It was the old minister's idea to make Ning Shi the principal, and they had also gone through layers of reporting.

It was impossible to change the person now.

"Consultant Ning, calm down. Think about the teachers and students who are coming for you. Regarding the enrollment policy, I will immediately consult my superior and give you a satisfactory answer."

Yun Moxiang did not take the documents and keys that Ning Shi handed over. She picked up the phone and walked to a distance to make a call.

Ten minutes later, Yun Moxiang put away the phone and walked over.

"Consultant Ning, Minister Hu said that you have full authority over the school's matters. The government will settle all the expenses and subsidies for the money. This time, the enrollment will be ranked in the top 4000 places, and the remaining 1000 places will take care of the poor and backward areas."

"We will return all the donations we received previously."

"What do you think?"

Ning Shi put away the documents and said seriously, "Miss Yun, although I, Ning Shi, am easy to talk to, I am also a person of principles. In the future, it's better to give a heads-up on such a big matter."

"If the situation turns sour, it will not look good for everyone!"

Yun Moxiang nodded bitterly. Ning Shi did not speak anymore. He turned around to find the teachers and continued to discuss the teaching policy.

Central City, Central University.

Laboratory 1 of the School of Life Sciences.

Hao Meng walked out of the laboratory in a white lab coat and white gloves.

When she arrived at the office, a tall man was standing inside. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and had a wide and well-proportioned body.

Although the man had black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, he had deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and naturally curly hair. He had the unique charm of a mixed-race.

!!

"Why are you looking for me? I've said it before, I'm very busy these days, so don't disturb me unless it's important."

Hao Meng's voice was cold and her face was expressionless. She was like an ice mountain.

The man bowed slightly and stared at Hao Meng. He didn't hide the burning love in his eyes as he spoke quickly.

"Director, there's an emergency in the MieIn Federation. Our team there is not sure of what to do, so we wanted to inform you first."

Hao Meng's tone was flat like a machine, without any fluctuations. "You've already wasted 23 seconds."

The man understood and quickly said, " A world boundary has appeared in the MieIn Federation. We don't know if it's POI (insect plague) or not. The world boundary is still growing and we don't know when it will stabilize." 𝒏𝑜𝓋𝐞𝓁𝓊𝐒𝐁.𝑐𝑂𝓂

"Observe closely and bide our time."

Hearing Hao Meng's answer, the man seemed to be slightly dissatisfied. He gathered his courage and said loudly, "If it were overseas, with the strength of our Heretic Research Institute and the sales of the awakening potion, we could have easily become a super-rich consortium. We might even be able to influence the election of the mien Federation, the strongest country in the world.

We are free to explore vast world abroad and do whatever we want. It's ten thousand times better than you being trapped in this country and being restricted by others!"

Hao Meng's expression remained calm as she replied, "You're finally not using foreign language when you speak. You've wasted another 87 seconds of my time. If you don't want to do this, you can quit at any time."

"Although you have the appearance of a mixed blood, you're from Yunmeng Kingdom. Don't think that you can forget your roots just because you grew up abroad."

After Hao Meng finished speaking, she ignored him and walked straight back to the laboratory.

Every step that Hao Meng took seemed to be precisely measured. The size of each step was exactly the same, and the distance of her arm swing was exactly the same.

She was like a sophisticated and precise robot.

After Hao Meng left, the man looked extremely depressed. He raised his fist, as if he wanted to smash something.

Then, he remembered that this was Hao Meng's office, so he held back.

A woman in black appeared out of thin air. She had thin eyebrows, a small face, and her lips appeared to be painted with rouge. Her eyes were not big, but her facial features were extremely beautiful when matched together.

When the man saw who it was, he seemed to have found someone to talk to.

"Mo Yu, did you hear what I just said? Did I say anything wrong?"

"I'm Mo Yun," the woman smiled.

The man's expression froze, and he said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, you twin sisters look exactly the same. I've got the wrong person. Mo Yun, I thought you preferred to wear red? Why are you wearing black like Mo Yu today?"

"Black clothes make you look thinner. In the future, I'll wear black clothes and Mo Yu will wear white clothes. This way, our figures will look almost the same."

The man was speechless. In his eyes, the twin sisters looked exactly the same. He couldn't tell who looked fatter or thinner.

He was just about to continue to pour out his grievances when Mo Yun spoke first.

"Wu Yingxiong, you talk too much. If you want to die, you can continue."

Wu Yingxiong's expression changed as he shouted, "I told you not to call me by my full name! Damn it, the story of The Deer and the Cauldron would be the death of me! You can call me little Wu, Mr. Wu, or by my English name!"

Mo Yun smiled, "Alright, Kris!"

Wu Yingxiong, "…"

"I changed my English name. I'm now called Bear. It's simple and easy to remember."

Seeing Wu Yingxiong's lack of temper, Mo Yun stopped joking and said seriously, "I advise you to put away your feelings for the director. You haven't even seen the director's tender mode. Your one-sided love is destined to be a tragedy and will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"As for the director's decision, with your nut-sized brain, just don't doubt anything she says."

Mo Yun explained as she saw that Wu Yingxiong had lowered his head, not willing to listen to her advice.

"Although you've been following us, you're a careless person and don't even know our director's cultivation path. She is a spiritual-type special ability user who invented a self-hypnotizing cultivation method without anyone's guidance."

"She used her extremely strong spiritual power to hypnotize her actions into many modes."

"She has always been meeting you in smart mode."

"In this mode, the director's computing and scientific research abilities are enhanced by a terrifying amount, but she will not have any emotions, and every word and action of hers will be as precise as a machine."

"What's the tender mode like?" Wu Yingxiong asked curiously.

"The tender mode is just a name that Mo Yu and I came up with in private. There is actually no such mode. The tender mode is the director's original personality."

"The director's original personality is shy, timid, gentle, and cute. She is very kind to people, so we called it the tender mode."

"Also, due to the influence of the hypnosis, the director usually suppresses her feelings. Once she returns to her original form, her feelings will be even stronger. Because of that, once she has feelings for someone, it's hard for her to hide them."

Wu Yingxiong's eyes lit up as he said with a look of longing, "If the director falls in love with me, does this mean that will she be loyal to me forever? The tender mode is really something to look forward to!"

Mo Yun was speechless. This Wu Yingxiong was handsome, but he had a pig's brain. However, they were all good friends who had gone through thick and thin, so she had to warn him.

"Wu Yingxiong, I'm telling you clearly, before the director went abroad, and before she was awakened, she already had someone she liked. Your pursuit is destined to be fruitless. If you insist on acting on your own emotions, then I have nothing to say."

With that, Mo Yun disappeared, leaving Wu Yingxiong alone in the office, his face full of pain.

At night, Hao Meng finished her experiment and returned to the dormitory arranged by the school.

Mo Yun held a stack of documents and said to Hao Meng, "Director, the international trade for the awakening potion has been settled. The specific conditions and agreements are here."

Hao Meng picked up the information and quickly scanned through it. She memorized the contents in half a minute and nodded.

"Have you completed the procedures for me to be a teacher at Donglin City's first strength school?"

"It's done, but the officials have reminded us that principal Ning Shi is in charge of everything in the school at the moment. He shouldn't object to you joining the school, but in principle, you need his consent."

Hearing Ning Shi's name, Hao Meng's calm face fluctuated for a moment, but then she calmed down again.

Mo Yun saw all of this, but she was a little confused.

"Inspector, since you like Ning Shi, why don't you just confess to him? There's no need to be so secretive and hide your identity."

Hao Meng logged out of smart mode. She lowered her head. Blushing, she said in a low voice, "I'm now the head of a cult organization. Although I'm cooperating with the state, I'm still strictly guarded by the state. If I get together with Ning Shi, it will have a bad influence on him."

"Shitou is an upright man. If he knew that I'm the director of the Heretic Research Institute, he'd definitely cut off all ties with me."

Mo Yun was speechless. No matter how powerful a woman was, after falling in love, their minds would not be normal.

"Ever since our resistance was successful and we took control of the Heretic Research Institute, we've never done anything evil. The human experiments you've done before were all done under coercion."

"The officials are only on guard against us because of the Heretic Research Institute's bad reputation."

Hao Meng didn't continue talking about this topic and continued, "There's another more important reason."

"The hypnotism technique that I'm practicing requires an anchor point of faith. Otherwise, it's very easy to get lost and become an emotionless thinking machine."

"Back then, my entire family was captured by the Heretic Research Institute to be researchers. My parents were killed because they were unwilling to do human experiments."

"In my despair, I hypnotized myself and burst forth with powerful scientific research abilities, thus surviving until now."

"However, the mind and the brain are forbidden fields that humans have rarely set foot in. It is very dangerous to hypnotize myself, and I almost lost myself several times."

"After a few attempts, I realized that I have to find someone I care about as an anchor. As long as I have a strong enough obsession with him, I can easily wake up after each hypnosis."

"Why did you choose Ning Shi as the anchor point?" Mo Yun continued to ask.

Hao Meng's face instantly turned red. She easily got embarrassed as she had returned to her original timid and shy self.

"At that time, my parents were both dead and I was alone abroad. I had no family or friends. When I thought about my feelings, I only secretly liked Shitou in my third year of junior high."

Mo Yun was shocked. She said nosily, "As expected of our mighty director. You already knew how to love at such a young age."

Hao Meng rubbed her palms together, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I've been much smarter than ordinary people since I was young, and I've matured much earlier emotionally."

"At that time, I skipped a grade, so I was young and my grades were good. Shitou was always helping me, and his grades were good too. We had a lot of common topics."

"You were so young, Ning Shi probably treated you as a little sister at that time, right?"

Hao Meng nodded. Mo Yun was even more speechless. Her mighty director was actually in a one-sided love.

"That is to say, if principal Ning Shi has a falling out with you, you will lose your anchor point of faith. When you enter hypnosis again, you will lose yourself and become an emotionless machine."

Mo Yun instantly understood. She suddenly said, "Director, why don't we go back abroad? Distance makes beauty. As long as you don't have too many interactions, you and Ning Shi won't have any fall outs."

Hao Meng shook her head. "I'd rather get lost in my hypnosis than leave."

Hao Meng switched back to smart mode and spoke coldly, "There's no need to argue about staying here or going abroad. Wu Yingxiong is short-sighted, so there's no need to listen to him."

"The world had changed drastically, and everyone has become a chess piece on a chessboard. Only the Yunmeng Kingdom could achieve the final victory in this chaos."

"Just look at the MieIn Federation that Wu Yingxiong constantly brags about, they're having a hard time dealing with just one insect plague at the world boundary. After all, it's a nouveau riche country that has only been established for 200 years. Compared to the Yunmeng country with a long history, the MieIn Federation is just a child."

"I returned to the country with great difficulty and established a relationship with the government in order to fight for a chance of survival for everyone. If Wu Yingxiong really likes to live abroad, then let him be."

For three consecutive days, Ning Shi had been busy with school matters, so he left the game on system hack.

The efficiency of system hack was very high, so he was not worried.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of school.

Ning Shi got up early in the morning.

Today's occasion was very formal, so Ning Shi was planning to wear a suit.

!!

He had just put on his clothes and tidied himself up in front of the mirror when the doorbell rang.

Ning Shi opened the door. Yun Moxiang was standing outside.

Yun Moxiang's eyes brightened when she saw Ning Shi in a suit. "Consultant Ning looks so handsome in a suit. I wonder how many girls will fall for you today."

After cracking a joke, Yun Moxiang handed Ning Shi a bag.

"I prepared a set of Tang suit for you."

"Many of the teachers in the school belong to the martial arts world. They all wear Tang suit for formal occasions. If you don't mind, I suggest you wear Tang suit too. That way, you'll fit in nicely."

"Thanks for the reminder." Ning Shi took the bag and said. "I like it very much."

Walking into the bedroom, Ning Shi began to change into the Tang suit. It was his first time wearing one, so he was a little unfamiliar. It took a few minutes for him to get dressed.

The Tang suit that Yun Moxiang had given him was custom-made. It was navy blue in color, and the cuffs were decorated with golden dragon patterns.

Ning Shi stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror. He stood tall and upright, full of energy, and the aura of a martial arts master emerged.

He had originally looked a little young, but after wearing the Tang suit, he had a more mature temperament.

As expected, clothes make the man. Good clothes can add a lot of color to a person. Wearing the Tang suit, even an 80% appearance can be elevated to a 100% elegance.

Yun Moxiang nodded her head repeatedly.

"Consultant Ning, I'll borrow your room for a while."

Then, without waiting for Ning Shi's response, she carried another bag, walked into Ning Shi's bedroom, and closed the door.

Ning Shi was speechless, feeling that Miss Yun was a little scheming.

It wasn't good to go to a man's place to change clothes, right?

"Although I'm very grateful that you bought clothes for me, I'm not a casual person."

Ning Shi jokingly muttered to himself, then took the initiative to leave the house and take a walk outside.

It was better for a man and a woman to avoid suspicion. It would be embarrassing if a coincidence happened and someone misunderstood them.

Yun Moxiang had changed into a cheongsam in Ning Shi's bedroom.

This cheongsam was custom-made by a master that she had hired. It was made of pure natural fabric, with gorgeous colors, and an extremely graceful style. It was gentle and charming, classical yet slightly sexy. 𝗇𝒪𝑣𝐄𝒍𝐮𝗌𝗯.𝚌𝑜𝗆

After putting on the cheongsam, Yun Moxiang's tall and slender figure was completely accentuated. Although her breasts weren't big, her bottom was quite perky, her legs were white and slender, and she was wearing a pair of sky high heels.

The charm of a mature woman was completely released.

Yun Moxiang admired herself in front of the mirror for a while, then opened the bedroom door with satisfaction, imagining Ning Shi being shocked by her beauty.

Creak!

The bedroom door opened.

The living room was empty. There was not a single person.

Yun Moxiang's face turned green. After all this, it ended up being her one-man show.

Ning Shi knew that women took a long time to change, so he strolled around outside for half an hour before returning to his residence.

Seeing Yun Moxiang's Oriental cheongsam, Ning Shi was slightly stunned and praised her.

"Miss Yun, you're so beautiful today!"

Yun Moxiang didn't say a word. Her face was cold, and she looked like she didn't want to interact with anyone.

Ning Shi was at a loss, so he directly changed the topic.

"It's almost time for the opening ceremony. Let's go."

It was a beautiful day with a clear sky and a gentle breeze. Although it was sunny, it wasn't particularly hot.

At 9 a.m. sharp, 5000 students stood neatly on the field.

The thousands of people appeared boundless.

Ning Shi sat on the rostrum and looked at the dense crowd of students below the stage. He had a sense of pride and a deep sense of responsibility.

Yun Moxiang was today's emcee. She walked gracefully to the podium and spoke into the microphone.

"The opening ceremony of Donglin City's First Strength Awakener School has officially begun! First of all, please allow me to introduce the guests on the stage. They're from Donglin City…"

There were a lot of leaders and upper-class people from all walks of life who came today. There were 11 people on the rostrum alone. Ning Shi sat in the center seat, not saying a word, because he didn't know anyone.

After introducing the important figures, everyone stood up according to the procedure and held the flag-raising ceremony.

Under the solemn national anthem, everyone stood at attention and saluted.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Yun Moxiang once again walked up to the podium and invited the first official to speak.

Although Ning Shi was the principal, he was still drowsy from listening.

After three leaders finished their speeches, the teachers' representative spoke, and then the students' representative spoke. When Ning Shi was the last to appear, the students had already stood for more than an hour and were out of energy.

Ning Shi walked to the podium, and after a self-introduction, he went straight to the point.

With a wave of his hand, a 55-seater golden dragon bus drove into the field. There were many sandbags on the bus.

Seeing this scene, the students were all very curious. They didn't know what the principal was up to.

"Students, I know that you've all experienced one of the greatest joys and sorrows of life some time ago."

"Joy, because you've won the 20% chance lottery of becoming an awakener."

"Sorrow, because your awakened ability is a strength-type. Compared to the elemental-type and spirit-type students, you are like chicken ribs that are tasteless, yet a pity to throw away!"

"The people around you tell you that strength-type awakeners have no future and are useless!

"Today, I'll demonstrate to everyone just how strong a strength-type awakener can be!"

Ning Shi lightly jumped onto the top of the golden dragon bus and said loudly, "This Jinlong bus weighs 17 tons. With the sandbags, the whole bus weighs 30 tons, which is 60000 pounds."

With that, Ning Shi jumped off the bus and walked to the middle of the bus, his hand reaching for the bottom of the bus.

"Rise!"

Ning Shi shouted and easily lifted the 30-ton bus!

The students couldn't keep quiet any longer, and they all exclaimed in shock.

"F*ck, is the principal still human? He's a monster!"

"The principal can lift a 30-ton object, so the force of his punch is estimated to be 50 tons? He's too strong!"

"The principal is also a strength-type awakener. One day, I will be as strong as him."

"Who said that strength-type awakeners have no future? Our future is bright!

Compared to the students, the teachers who were watching from the side were even more excited.

Li Daxiang stroked his trembling beard and was overjoyed. "It's even more impressive seeing him in person. Witnessing principal Ning's divine power with my own eyes makes my blood boil. I feel 20 years younger all of a sudden."

Duan Qixun clenched his thick-backed saber tightly, his expression even more excited than Li Daxiang's.

"Master Li, did you realize that principal Ning used brute force to lift the bus? there's no technique to exert force. If he combined it with a special force-exerting technique, the power of his fist would probably reach a terrifying level. No wonder he could defeat a Tier 6 elemental-type awakener with just one punch."

Daoist priest Jue Chen, who was dressed in a white Daoist robe, shook his head. "Principal Ning's strength isn't limited to this. The scene of him defeating Wang Yunlin was deliberately edited by the officials."

"According to the information from fellow Daoist Qingyun of the Baiyun temple, when the Flame Messenger Brian appeared, there were no official consultants at the scene. Yet, Brian died in the end. Qingyun has always suspected that it was principal Ning Shi who had killed Brian."

"Now it seems that his speculation is true. With principal Ning Shi's strength, even a Tier 7 awakener can't defend it."

All the teachers and students present were shocked by Ning Shi's overwhelming divine power.

It was easy for Ning Shi to lift the bus, but the ground of the field couldn't bear it. His feet sank about a foot into the ground.

Seeing that the demonstration effect had been achieved, Ning Shi put down the bus.

He was very satisfied with what he heard from the students' discussion.

Today's demonstration wasn't for the sake of showing off. It was mainly to inspire the students' confidence and fighting spirit.

In the circle of awakeners, there was prejudice and contempt towards strength-type awakeners. Ning Shi had personally experienced it. These students must have been instilled with such thoughts.

Ning Shi wanted to use practical actions to sweep away the doubts of the past and encourage the students.

Now, it seemed that the effect was pretty good.

The students seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and were full of energy.

Ning Shi walked up to the podium and continued, "I'm sure everyone knows the potential of strength-type awakeners now! Every school has its own school motto. Today, I hereby announce the motto of Donglin City's First Strength Awakener School is…"

"One strength breaks all techniques!"

"One strength breaks all techniques" was the declaration of a strength-type awakener. No matter how many skills elemental-type awakeners use, or how many tricks spiritual-type awakeners use, I, a strength-type awakener, can break them all with the strength of my fist!

The applause from the audience was thunderous, and the crowd was excited.

After waiting for a while, when the applause stopped, Ning Shi pointed to the bus.

"I'll keep this bus in the corner of the school field. I hope that more students will be able to lift it in the future! At the same time, I would like to make an announcement."

"A week later, the school will be holding a martial arts competition for all new students. The specific rules will be announced later."

"The school would allocate more resources to those who ranked higher in the competition. The top three would receive a mysterious reward."

"In the future, the martial arts competition would be held three times every semester, one at the beginning, one at the middle, and one at the end of the semester. Whoever was stronger would be able to obtain more resources and better treatment!"

"Good luck, students!"

What needed to be said had been said. Ning Shi no longer nagged and directly walked down the podium.

As he got off the stage, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.

A woman in a white dress stood in the middle of the culture class teachers. There was a black ribbon around her waist, which outlined an alluring arc.

Ning Shi directly walked over.

"Mengmeng, what are you doing here? Are you done with your business?"

Seeing Ning Shi, Hao Meng's big round eyes squinted into a line, revealing a happy smile.

"Shitou, it has been ten days since I last called you. I said I would come to you in ten days."

As the principal, Ning Shi's words and actions received a lot of attention. Hao Meng was also a great beauty. As the two stood there talking, many people looked at them.

"It's my bad memory. Mengmeng, let's talk in my office. I have a lot of things to ask you."

The two of them left the field and walked toward the principal's office.

This scene was seen by Yun Moxiang, who was greeting the various leaders. She gritted her teeth and secretly hated it. Then, her eyes turned as if she had thought of an idea.

Report chapter Comments

The principal's office was bright, spacious, and clean.

The office desk was made of solid wood, and there was a bookcase behind the chair. It was filled with decorative books, and there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on both sides of the wall.

On the other side of the desk was the tea table and sofa for receiving guests.

Ning Shi sat at the tea table and made tea for Hao Meng.

"Mengmeng, we're old classmates, so I won't beat around the bush. There's a question I've always wanted to ask you. What do you do for a living? How do you have so much inside information? You seem to have a lot of resources."

!!

Hearing Ning Shi's question, Hao Meng's eyes flickered. She lowered her head and nervously pinched the corner of her dress. After taking a deep breath, she took out two certificates from the bag beside her and handed them to Ning Shi.

Ning Shi took it, opened the certificate, and read it aloud.

"Comrade Hao Meng, we hereby appoint you as a visiting professor at the School of Life Sciences at Yunmeng Kingdom Central University. The employment period is four years. We are looking forward to hiring you."

It was signed off by the School of Life Sciences at Yunmeng Kingdom Central University. This was just as Hao Meng had said before, she was a teacher at the Central University.

He flipped to the second certificate.

"We hereby appoint comrade Hao Meng as a special researcher of the Yunmeng Kingdom National Scientific Research Institute. The employment period is five years."

Ning Shi read out the contents of the certificate, and Hao Meng kept her head down without saying anything.

Ning Shi thought she was shy. Hao Meng's personality had always been like this.

However, he had forgotten that normal people would not bring their employment letters along with them. Hao Meng had obviously come prepared.

"So, in addition to being a professor at the Central University, you're also a researcher at the National Research Institute," he said. "Is it because you studied biology and your research direction is related to the awakening potion?"

Just like the last blind date, Hao Meng's face turned red again. She bit her lower lip and said in a very soft voice, "Yes, our research group has a total of five people, and the leader is Scientist H. I'm a spiritual-type awakener, and I'm also a researcher, so I know a lot of inside information."

"I've also accumulated some resources rewarded by the country."

"Don't worry, even if I'm hiding something from you, I have my own reasons. I definitely won't harm you!"

Ning Shi didn't notice the strangeness in Hao Meng's words. He just smiled.

"I know. You're working for the country, so it's necessary to keep it a secret. I'm sorry for being rude."

Ning Shi poured a cup of tea for Hao Meng. Thinking that his question just now was a little serious, he joked, "I have a few classmates who are Ph.D. students. They complain in the group every day that it's too hard to do academic work and often stay up late."

"How do you take care of your skin? You're doing scientific research, but you still have such good skin."

Hao Meng heaved a sigh of relief and took a sip of the tea. She smiled. "My skin was born like this and I don't have time to take care of it either."

"You'll be staying in Donglin City for a few days this time. If there's enough time, I'll bring you around the area and experience the changes in Donglin City over the years," Ning Shi said after filling Hao Meng's cup. 𝚗𝗈𝓋𝓔𝓁𝗎𝓈𝗯.𝒞𝗈𝚖

Hao Meng took out a transparent glass bottle the size of a middle finger from her bag.

The glass bottle was filled with a light blue liquid. It looked like the clear blue sea water under the midday sun.

Hao Meng's fair wrist moved, and the liquid in the glass bottle was gently shaken. Dense purple light spots appeared and swam in the blue liquid, looking mysterious and expensive.

"What's this?" Ning Shi asked curiously.

"This is the result of my recent research. It's a strength potion specially developed for strength-type awakeners. After taking it, it can quickly recover your strength and slightly increase your physical fitness."

Ning Shi was shocked. Was Hao Meng cheating? How could she have developed such a powerful potion?

"I need to track the specific effects and reactions of this potion. It just so happens that your school is the best specialized school for strength-type awakeners. Hence, I'm here to be a teacher at your school and continue to perfect the results of the potion."

Ning Shi recovered from his shock and quickly said, "If you want to be a teacher in our school, that's honestly a waste of talent. Of course, I welcome you."

"However, what is the principle behind this potion? Would there be any side effects? After all, it's for the students. As the principal, I have to understand it clearly."

Hao Meng explained as she handed the medicine to Ning Shi. "For a long time, the reason why strength-type awakeners have fallen behind elemental-type and spiritual-type awakeners is not only because they don't have a suitable cultivation method, but also because they can't absorb the energy of spiritual crystals."

"Without the help of spiritual crystals, the cultivation speed is too slow."

"The main raw material of the strength potion is spiritual crystals. The theory behind the medicine is very simple. After a series of complicated techniques, the physical structure of the spiritual crystals is changed. By mixing a few supplementary herbs, the spiritual crystals can be consumed and absorbed by the human body, and the strength potion is formed."

"After a strength-type awakener takes the potion, the effect should be similar to that of an elemental-type awakener directly absorbing the spiritual crystal. The specific data still needed to be measured."

"It's a pity that time is too tight. I only managed to develop an E-grade strength potion and fuse it with an E-grade spiritual crystal. I still need more time to develop a higher grade strength potion."

When it came to medicinal knowledge, Hao Meng spoke with fervor and assurance, her expression full of confidence.

Ning Shi was already numb. Was this the world of a top student?

The big shots of scientific research were terrifying!

From Hao Meng's tone, it seemed like developing a strength potion was a piece of cake.

However, Ning Shi was not a fool. How could it be so easy to overcome the problem that had troubled strength-type awakeners for 40 years?

If Ning Shi knew that the strength potion had been specially developed for him by Hao Meng after she found out that he was a strength-type awakener, he would probably suspect that Hao Meng had an avatar like him.

An avatar that specialized in scientific research.

Ning Shi was so surprised that he forgot to make tea. He picked up the potion.

"Can I try the effect first?"

Hao Meng nodded, and Ning Shi drank the potion.

It tasted a little bitter at first, but then it burned down his throat like white wine. After it went down his stomach, his body felt warm.

He tried to feel his body, but the increase in strength was so minimal that it was almost undetectable.

This was because Ning Shi' was too strong.

If it was a strength-type student who had just awakened, after taking it, the effect of the increase would be more obvious.

After all, it was only an E-grade strength potion.

After Ning Shi confirmed that there were no side effects, he was in a good mood. With the strength potion combined with the extreme body forging method, wouldn't the strength-type awakeners in his school take off?

"Welcome to the first strength school. I will fully cooperate with you in your research. Forget about the contract employment. You can leave at any time after the research of the strength potion is completed."

From Ning Shi's perspective, Hao Meng was a top-grade researcher. After all, his school was involved in martial arts and had no scientific research foundation. It was normal that he couldn't keep big shots like her for long.

But Hao Meng was very happy. She had finally managed to sneak into Ning Shi's school after much effort.

She suggested, "Shitou, don't rush to mass-produce the strength potion. The market price of e-grade crystals in the country is too high now. It'll drop later. The school can mass-produce it after the price drops."

Ning Shi nodded and said, "The strength potion is your personal research product. You have the final say in the production and sales. I'll get the school's finance department to buy it from you."

Hao Meng had originally planned to give the formula to Ning Shi, but considering Ning Shi's personality, he probably wouldn't want it, so she didn't say anything more.

"How do you know that the price of spiritual crystals will drop?" Ning Shi asked curiously.

"Because the international trade agreement for the awakening potion has been reached. According to the agreement, our country will sell a portion of the awakening potion to other nations and only accept transactions of crystals."

"Soon, the crystals from other countries will flow into our country."

"In this era, the government would not store too many crystals after obtaining them. Instead, they would probably push a large number of crystals to the private market to enhance the overall strength of the awakeners."

"At that time, the price of spiritual crystals will drop."

Ning Shi could understand why the government was selling the awakening potion to other countries. If Yunmeng Kingdom completely monopolized the awakening potion and did not give any to other countries, the diplomatic pressure would be very great.

If they didn't handle it well, Yunmeng Kingdom might be isolated by the whole world.

Now, by distributing the awakening potion to foreign countries, not only could they earn a large number of strategic resources, which were crystals, but they could also expand the country's influence on foreign countries through the awakening potion.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

Ning Shi turned into a curious child and asked another crucial question.

"What kind of materials are used to make the awakening potion? During the National Awakening, the government could produce tens of millions of potions at once."

Hao Meng was very patient. She replied softly, "You're now the consultant of the Special Affairs Department, so you should know about the insect plague. As the old saying goes, misfortune and fortune come together. The insect plague was not all bad."

"After being attacked by the insects, any country that had an insect world boundary would start researching the body structure of the insects."

"In the end, Scientist H discovered that a substance codenamed "Luo" could be extracted from all the insects in the insect world."

"This substance was very active. After entering the human body, it could continuously stimulate the potential abilities of the human body."

"From there, we researched step by step, and finally invented the awakening potion."

Ning Shi had seen the video of the insect plague. The insects that attacked the border were simply overwhelming and endless. The raw materials were so abundant, no wonder the official had so many potions.

"The National Awakening had almost cleared out the stock of the awakening potion. In order to stabilize the market and to take advantage of the rich, the government has deliberately set the price of the potion at 500000 Yuan per bottle."

"During this period of time, as the production volume increases, the price of the awakening potion would rapidly decrease. It is expected that it would drop to a few hundred Yuan per bottle. It would even be free of charge in poorer regions to ensure that everyone could afford it."

"In the future, the people of Yunmeng Kingdom would feel the happiness of living in Yunmeng Kingdom. The spiritual crystals and awakening potions are sold at sky-high prices overseas, but they would be sold at commoner prices in their country."

"Of course, in order to prevent people from using the price difference to smuggle, the government will implement a real-name system for the purchase of crystals and potions."

Ning Shi's mother used to work in trade. Although it was a very small trading company, he had some understanding of business since he was a child.

"The total population of the world is about 8 billion. After selling a certain amount of the awakening potion, the market will be saturated, and the demand will decrease. In the short term, the spiritual crystals in the country will be abundant, but in the long term, I'm afraid that might not be the case."

Hao Meng shook her head.

"The market for the awakening potion is limitless.

"We did an experiment on death row volunteers. In theory, the awakening potion can be used repeatedly as long as the interval between each use is more than 15 days."

"The first five times that the awakening potion is taken, the effect is the best. After the fifth time, the probability of awakening will become smaller and smaller. After the tenth time, it will be infinitely close to zero."

Hearing this news, Ning Shi stood up in surprise.

This was because he finally realized that the real era of National Awakening had arrived!

For teenagers between 14 to 18, the probability of awakening after taking the awakening potion was about 20%. If they could take it five times, the probability of awakening would be as high as 67%!

Not to mention, it was effective within 10 times.

Apart from the young ones, being able to take the potion multiple times would greatly increase the probability of awakening for the middle-aged, middle-aged, and older generations.

Ning Shi couldn't help but sigh, "Scientist H is really the greatest scientist of the 21st century! I heard that it/he/she is the leader of the cult organization Heretic Research Institute. Yet, no matter how many crimes it/he/she has committed, it's/his/her immortal achievements will never be erased."

"With the awakening potion, Yunmeng Kingdom will take off immediately, and countless citizens will benefit from it!"

"Mengmeng, you scientific researchers are really amazing! The big shots of scientific research were terrifying! Science and technology will always be the number one productive force!"

Hearing Ning Shi's high evaluation of H, Hao Meng chuckled happily. Her big eyes shone brightly, and her round face flushed red adorably.

Ning Shi sat down and continued to boil water and make tea.

Recalling that he had not consumed the awakening potion before, he was prepared to wait for the price to drop before buying a few bottles of the potion to see if he would become an awakener.

Ning Shi made a cup of tea, poured away the cold tea in front of Hao Meng, and refilled her cup.

"I'm a newbie at making tea. Please make do with it."

"No, the tea you make is great. I've been drinking coffee abroad for so many years that the thought of it makes me want to vomit. I like tea way more." Hao Meng said as she took a sip of tea.

!!

"The signing of the international trade agreement for the awakening potion this time has caused some commotion."

"In other countries, there had always been a saying that the people of Yunmeng Kingdom were not suitable for the cultivation of the awakener system. They said it was a waste of human resources for the people of Yunmeng to take the awakening potion."

"What they mean is that the awakening potion should be given to a stronger race. Only then will it be a contribution to the progress of mankind."

Ning Shi was about to explode from anger. Such words were filled with unfathomable motives.

"Foreign awakeners started their cultivation earlier than us and have more powerful awakeners than us," Hao Meng continued. "They've always looked down on our awakeners."

"In addition, these countries all wanted the awakening potion, so this kind of theory was very popular and had a huge market."

"At the negotiation meeting for the signing of the trade agreement, some of the representatives at the meeting proposed to hold a global young awakener martial arts competition. The contestants must be teenagers who had awakened after taking the awakening potion and must not be older than 18 years old."

"The results of the competition would affect the agreed price and purchase quota of the awakening potion."

"As long as the ranking of the country is above our own, the purchase price will be reduced by 20% and the quantity will be increased by 50% for every additional ranking."

"The countries that are ranked below our country will follow the price and share set in the original agreement."

"If the Kingdom of Mies wins the championship, and we rank 5th, there will be a difference of four ranks, and the price of potions purchased by the Kingdom of Mies will be reduced by 80%, while the amount of potions sold to them will increase by 200%."

"If our country wins the championship, the price of all the participating countries' medicines will be increased by 50%."

"In the current agreement, our country will sell a maximum of 10 million potions a year for the Kingdom of Mies, and the price is five E-grade spiritual crystals for each potion."

Ning Shi clapped his hands and said happily, "This price is good. Sell it at a higher price and rip them off!"

"Come to think of it, the competition must be participated by an awakener who has taken the potion. How do we determine this? These countries must have the confidence to win when they make such a request. Where does their confidence come from?"

Hao Meng took another sip of tea. "Anyone who awakens with the awakening potion will have a strong reaction of the 'Luo' substance in their body for a long time. You can just test it with a strip."

"Even if a naturally awakened person takes the awakening potion, the 'Luo' substance will not produce a reaction. Therefore, the results of this test are very accurate and there is no room for cheating."

"As for their confidence, it's not without reason. From 1980 onwards, awakeners had started to appear in the Kingdom of Mies. However, Yunmeng Kingdom only had our first awakener in 1998, which was 18 years later than the Kingdom of Mies."

"Under such circumstances, even though we are trying our best to catch up, objectively speaking, we are weaker than the Kingdom of Mies and the MieIn Federation in terms of the ability of our awakeners."

Ning Shi understood that this proposal was an open scheme. If Yunmeng Kingdom did not agree to participate in the martial arts competition, then it would confirm the propaganda of these countries.

The rumors that the people of Yunmeng were not suitable for awakened ones to cultivate and that they were wasting the world's resources would spread even more.

However, that didn't matter. Ning Shi had confidence in the country. Under the national system, it was not a problem to train a few masters.

Furthermore, there were so many awakeners in the country. It should be easy to find a few talented ones.

Hao Meng continued, "Under the pressure of public opinion, our country agreed to participate in the martial arts competition, but we also set conditions. No matter what the ranking is, the price of the awakening potion will be reduced by 60% at most, and the quantity will be increased by 100% at most."

"The people of the MieIn Federation agreed with full confidence. There were only a few countries that had the confidence to defeat us." 𝑵𝓞𝑣𝞮𝐿𝒰𝓈𝑏.𝑪𝞸𝐦

"In the end, the MieIn Federation, Kingdom of Mies, Black Bear Country, Long Island, Posuo Kingdom, Gaobang Kingdom, Gold Kingdom, and Yunmeng Kingdom, eight nations, signed the agreement to participate in the martial arts competition. The competition will be held on January 1st next year."

Ning Shi nodded. "There's still more than four months left. The country must have already selected the talents and spent a lot of resources on training them. The probability of winning is still very high."

Hao Meng wasn't as optimistic as Ning Shi. She analyzed, "I have lived abroad for many years and I understand how cruel the awakener circle is."

"The training of elemental-type and spiritual-type awakeners was, to a large extent, a competition of who was more ruthless to themselves!"

"Cultivation was a battle with special abilities. If you were ruthless enough, you could subdue the special ability step by step. If you weren't ruthless enough, you would be tortured to death by the special ability."

"Based on the style of foreign countries, it was not a problem to sacrifice hundreds of lives to cultivate one single hero. Such practices are not in line with the values of our country, and definitely not allowed in our country."

"Moreover, after so many years of development, the awakeners overseas have accumulated many inconsequential ways to boost their strengths."

Ning Shi understood. "In general, our country is a righteous sect. We pay attention to a solid foundation and gradual progress. On the other hand, the outside world is full of evil and heretical cultivators who use unscrupulous means to improve their strength. The speed of their strength improvement in a short time is not something that we can compare with."

"Shitou's analogy is very appropriate. It's like this. It's a victory if we manage to stay in the top three."

Ning Shi shook his head in disagreement.

"We have to win the championship, and we can't be content with being merely top three. Only by winning the championship can we dispel the rumors that Yunmeng people are not suitable for cultivation, and we can fiercely fight back against those stupid doubts."

"It's a pity that the age limit is 18 years old. Otherwise, with the will and quality of the soldiers in our army, as well as the huge number of people, they would definitely be able to quickly cultivate talented awakeners."

Ning Shi said to Hao Meng with a smile, "Mengmeng, you've become more cunning. You're telling me all these on purpose, right?"

Hao Meng also laughed, her big eyes curved into crescent moons.

"That's right, with the stamina potion I've developed and your guidance, Shitou, we can definitely produce a champion who can do our country proud."

"I'm telling you this because I hope you can prepare for the competition with me."

"We live in an era of change. If we manage to get one step ahead, we'll have an advantage over others consistently. We have to take the initiative to fight for everything."

"Yunmeng Kingdom has to win this competition. Only then would we be able to lead the trend in the coming era and survive this calamity."

"According to my research, the insect plague is only the appetizer and the one with the least damage. The following beast disaster and spiritual disaster are the true world-destroying disasters."

"Shitou, you must have watched the movie Godzilla, a terrifying giant beast that is not afraid of nuclear attacks. The so-called beast disaster refers to a group of giant beasts like Godzilla entering our world."

"If we don't take this opportunity to accumulate resources and strengthen our country, we won't even be able to survive the beast disaster, let alone the spiritual disaster."

"Only when there is a country can there be a home. Only when Yunmeng Kingdom survives the disaster can we survive with the country's support."

Hao Meng's words were very reasonable, and Ning Shi agreed with them. He was very concerned about the beast disaster.

"When will the beast disaster come?"

Hao Meng shook her head. "The content of the beast disaster was deduced by me after gathering all kinds of information. I only told you. Even the officials don't know."

"I can't confirm the exact time of the beast disaster, but I hope it's as late as possible."

Hao Meng was really a treasure girl. With her, Ning Shi had an all-purpose library, and any questions he had could be answered.

"I had originally planned to take in the top three students as my disciples after the freshmen tournament and teach them the training methods of strength-type awakeners."

"Would it be enough to focus on training three people to participate in the Global Martial Arts Competition? If it's not enough, I'll take in a few more disciples."

"That's enough. This competition is a three-man team challenge. Shitou, I know your concerns. You don't want too many people to know about your core cultivation method."

"If you believe me, you can give me your cultivation method, and I'll see if I can design a simplified version. In the future, you can teach the full version to your core disciples, and promote the simplified version to the ordinary students."

Ning Shi's eyes brightened. He trusted Hao Meng.

Hao Meng had even taken out the stamina potion and told him so many secrets, so Ning Shi didn't have much to worry about.

"My cultivation method is called the extreme body forging method. It mainly uses the extreme state of the body to stimulate its potential and increase its various qualities. Wait a moment, I'll print it out for you."

Ning Shi sat in his office chair, turned on the computer, and typed out the content of the extreme body forging method.

Ten minutes later, three pages were printed out by Ning Shi.

Ning Shi handed it to Hao Meng and said, "Take a look first. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me at any time. After the freshmen tournament is over, I will teach my disciples the extreme body forging method. At that time, you can observe and learn it on the spot, and you might have a deeper understanding of the cultivation method."

"If there's really a simplified version, I'll try it out. If there are no side effects, I'll directly hand it over to the country and let the government promote it to the entire country to enhance the overall strength of the country."

Hao Meng looked at Ning Shi with admiration.

"Shitou, you have great foresight! With the body forging method, it would be a great boost to the country's strength. After we confirmed that the awakening potion could be used repeatedly, the number of awakeners in the army increased exponentially. Among these awakener soldiers, most of them are strength-type awakeners."

"With the body forging technique, the abilities of these soldiers will increase by leaps and bounds."

"What if I gave the original to the country," Ning Shi said, moved. "I appreciate the hard work and sacrifice of the soldiers in fighting against the insect plague."

Hao Meng shook her head.

"The time isn't right yet. The international competition is still very fierce. If we promote the original version, it's easy for foreign countries to steal and learn it."

"Only when Yunmeng Kingdom had accumulated enough and stood at the top of the world would it be the time to promote the original technique."

"And I've seen your body forging method, it's very dangerous to cultivate. Cultivating the simplified version before the original version can also reduce the risk of cultivation."

What Ning Shi said just now was in the spur of the moment. He knew that things had to be done step by step.

"That's fine. You research the simplified version first, and we'll promote the simplified version. By the time the foreign countries try their best to get the simplified version, our soldiers and people will have already learned the original."

"By the time the foreign countries get their hands on the original version, our soldiers and people will have formed a large enough scale and be a step ahead of them. We won't have to be afraid of them anymore."

Hao Meng nodded. "That's right. We have enough awakening potions, so our number of awakeners will be the largest and and will increase fastest. With the advantage of the stamina potion, the speed of cultivation will also be faster."

"We are 18 years behind the foreign awakeners in terms of elemental and spiritual training, and the gap is hard to make up for. However, in terms of strength-type awakeners, we can open up a new track and surpass them directly!"

As the two of them chatted, Xiao Li from the administration department knocked on the door.

"Principal Ning, the leaders who came to attend the ceremony are leaving now. Miss Yun asked if you could send them off."

Hao Meng stood up and began to walk out with her bag.

"Shitou, I'll leave you to your work. I'll talk to you later!"

"Alright! We're both at school, so feel free to have tea with me anytime!"

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi had no choice but to entertain the leaders. After seeing them off, he remembered that the school's matters had been arranged and he had nothing to do for the time being. He said goodbye to Yun Moxiang and went straight back to the dormitory.

After listening to Hao Meng's description of the beast disaster, Ning Shi felt a sense of danger.

He quickly entered the game and continued to increase his strength.

After not having a first-person view for a few days, Ning Shi took out his phone, clicked into the game, and first checked the system hack log.

[Avatar treated Snow Fog to a meal. Character intimacy 2. Current character intimacy: 57. ]

!!

[Avatar has explained the role of the Character Template to Snow Fog. Character intimacy 3. Current character intimacy: 60.]

[Avatar has gifted the bloodline staff found in the Bloodline Chambers of Commerce to Snow Fog. Character intimacy 5. Current character intimacy: 65.]

The corner of Ning Shi's mouth twitched. Was this avatar a lecher or a bootlicker? Did he not do proper work every day?

The loyalty of a follower was full, but intimacy and loyalty were two different things.

Before, Ning Shi had suspected that the avatar approached Lena only because she was a hero, and that it was easier to trigger missions or level up faster by being on good terms with a hero.

But now, from the looks of it, the system hack's avatar was simply just a flirt.

Fortunately, the avatar hack still did a lot of things.

[Avatar killed a Sun Elf mage. Experience points 4000.]

[Avatar killed a Moon Elf longbow ranger. Experience points 3000.]

…

[Avatar assisted Snow Fog in taking complete control of the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce. Ruling power increased by 10 streets. Snow Fog character intimacy 5. Current character intimacy: 70.]

[Avatar killed a wolf knight. Experience points 2000.]

[Avatar killed a griffin knight. Experience points 5000.]

[Avatar killed Gomis, leader of the Gryphon Legion. Experience points 10000.]

…

[Avatar has eliminated the Wolf Knight Legion and the Griffin Knight Legion of the Ole Empire. Ruling power increased by 10 streets.]

[Avatar destroyed the Abyss Mercenary Group. Ruling power increased by 2 streets.]

[Avatar destroyed the Bloodthirsty Beastman Chamber of Commerce. Ruling power increased by 1 street.]

…

In just a few days, the avatar had led the extreme battle group and swept through half of the forces in Duohuang, ruling over 53 streets in Duohuang.

Ning Shi was instantly satisfied. Although the system hack was indecent, it was still very efficient.

[Avatar killed a bear warrior. Experience points 2000.]

[Bloodline warrior has been upgraded to level 12 (1000/5120000). Spiritual power 1, skill point 1, potential point 1.]

As expected, war was the fastest way to level up. The avatar swept through Duohuang and killed many factions, leveling up once again.

It was getting harder and harder to improve his physique. This time, the level up had increased his spiritual power instead.

His spiritual power had reached 20 points. According to the game's setting where every 10 points was a juncture, this was a huge increase.

He clicked on the synchronization, and his main body's spiritual power also reached 20 points.

Ning Shi felt as if his entire body had sublimated. His soul felt a deep sense of satisfaction, as if he could resist all spiritual attacks.

His learning talent had turned golden, and his memory had become better. Many things in the past were like books in the library, which he could read and refer to at any time.

[His Highness Alesia, the third Prince of the Brad Empire, has come to deal with an Angelo's murder under the orders of His Majesty Joerger, and the avatar has received him.]

[Alesia tried to recruit the avatar, but the avatar rejected.]

[Alesia once again tried to recruit the avatar. The avatar agreed and became Alesia's subordinate.]

Ning Shi: "??? "

What the hell was the system hack doing? Why would the avatar agree to Alesia's recruitment?

He was just playing a game. Did he have to be subdued by the NPCs and become their slave?

Ning Shi patiently continued to read.

[Alesia has activated the power of his primordial weapon, Lionheart Blade. Bloodline servant contract is being forced to be signed. In comparison of spiritual power, Alesia's spiritual power is 28, the avatar's spiritual power is 20, and the success rate of the forced bloodline servant contract is 81%.]

[Bloodline servant contract successful. Avatar has become Alesia's bloodline servant. There is an anomaly in the game system. In debugging… Avatar has broken free from the bloodline servant contract and is now free.]

Ning Shi was frightened by this log. What was the avatar doing? Was the system hack so stupid?

[If you have any objections to the system hack, please check the game mode reminder.]

In response to Ning Shi's internal complaints, a dialog box actually popped up in the game. Ning Shi glanced at the game mode reminder. 𝑵𝒪𝐯𝚎𝓵𝑢𝓈𝗯.𝗰𝑜𝓂

[The system hack mode is recommended to be used to repeat mechanical processes. The game system is not responsible for any abnormal events that occur during complicated game processes.]

Alright, since the disclaimer was out, Ning Shi had nothing to say. Fortunately, the system found the mistake and finally corrected the forced contract.

Otherwise, after Ning Shi entered the game, he would have no choice but to pay the price of one point of spiritual power and commit suicide to get rid of his shackles.

Playing as an NPC's servant in the game was a disgrace to the Fourth Calamity.

He continued to check the log.

[Avatar has used an observation spell on Alesia. The spirit power comparison is 20/28, and some basic information can be investigated.]

[Character: Alesia]

[Physique: 38 (50)]

[Spiritual Power: 28 (50)]

[Appearance: 9 (King's Prestige)]

[Family Background: 9 (The King's Son)]

[Bloodline: Golden-eyed Nine-eyed Lion (Level 6/Potential 10 stars)]

[Profession: Bloodline warrior level 26]

[Skills: Golden mech level 8, Golden eyes level 7…]

[Talents: Natural King (purple), Destiny (purple)…]

[Achievements: None ]

[Natural King (purple): As a Natural King character, you have a 25% absolute success rate when recruiting subordinates. The same character's talent will lose its effect after three attempts.]

Ning Shi was numb. What kind of insane talent was this? Recruiting three times, there was an absolute success rate of 25% each time. For anyone, Alesia's success rate was close to 60%.

It was no wonder that Alesia had successfully recruited the avatar. This was a weapon of causality.

Fortunately, Ning Shi had his own will. The recruitment was only agreed by the avatar, and he, the main body, had not agreed.

[Destiny (purple): The person chosen by the world's will to be the destined one. He bears the destiny of unifying the world. ]

Ning Shi finally understood that Alesia's existence was like a hack in this game world.

Not only was his talent amazing, but his physique and spiritual power added up to 66 points, higher than Ning Shi's 60 points.

One had to know that there were potential points to be added to the game's avatar.

According to the log, Alesia had another origin weapon, the Lionheart Blade, which could activate the skills of bloodline servants.

[Alesia mistook the avatar for his bloodline servant and revoked the Brad Empire's contract to capture the avatar. He fully supports the avatar's unification of Duohuang.]

Finally, there was good news.

With Alesia's cover, the pressure on the avatar would be weaker for now. At least, the pressure from the Brad Empire's side would be removed.

[Alesia has launched a fierce pursuit of your follower, Snow Fog, but Snow Fog is unmoved.]

[Alesia left Duohuang with regret and headed for the Duke of Rose's territory.]

Duke of Rose's territory, that's where Lena lives. What is Alesia doing there?

After checking the system log, Ning Shi no longer hesitated. He directly entered the first perspective mode and regained control of the avatar from the system.

At this moment, his avatar was eating in a tavern on Bloodline Street. Opposite him was the Star elf, Snow Fog.

Just as Ning Shi was about to speak, he found that there was a blood-red exclamation mark in the game mission area, and it was flashing constantly!

The mission exclamation mark was usually white in color and would not flash.

It seemed like a big mission had arrived.

[Must-kill mission: Seize Alesya's primordial weapon – Lionheart Blade. The Lionheart Blade has already recognized its owner. You can only seize it after killing the owner. Mission time limit: 3 years. Punishment for failure: Spiritual power -10, Physique -20 ]

If he couldn't complete the mission, the punishment would be too severe!

Ning Shi could feel the game system's obsession with the Lionheart Blade. It seemed that this blade was very important. According to the description of the log, the ability of the bloodline servant caused an anomaly in the game system.

Fortunately, the time limit given by the system was three years, so he had more time.

Ning Shi still planned to unify Duohuang first and quickly level up. After accumulating his strength, he would go find trouble with Alesia.

The current Ning Shi might not even be able to beat Alesia in a one-on-one fight, so developing first was the best way.

Snow Fog had a petite figure. Today, she was wearing a blue hooded priest's robe. Her entire body was wrapped in the robe, and only a strand of stubborn ahoge on her head was exposed outside the hat.

"Snow Fog, why are you dressed like this today?"

"Alesia has been annoying me too much, so I'm wearing this to avoid trouble. Boss, do you really want to be Alesia's subordinate? My intuition tells me that he isn't as gentle as he looks."

Ning Shi used a fork to pick up a piece of tender juicy beef and put it into his mouth. Then, he picked up the fruit wine on the table and took a big gulp before saying, "Of course it's not real. It's just a plan to delay the enemy. After we unify the entire Duohuang, we'll be surrounded and suppressed by three great empires."

"At this time, if we pretend to accept Alesia's recruitment, at least for the time being, the Brad Empire will support us."

"Take off your hat. Alesia is gone, and you look like a punching bag hiding in those big clothes."

Snow Fog took off her hat, revealing her delicate face.

Silver hair, orange-red eyes, a fair face, and thin, red lips. Ning Shi complimented her appearance in his heart. This was indeed the system's approved dreamy face.

No wonder Alesia wanted to pursue Wuxue.

Snow Fog took a sip of her juice and asked with a frown, "Boss, if we do this, it'll damage your reputation."

"On the Moen Continent, those who betrayed their masters would be spurned."

"And I'm worried that Alesia doesn't really trust us."

Ning Shi laughed, "Don't worry, Alesia used the bloodline servant contract on me, and I found a way to avoid it. He still thinks I'm his bloodline servant and trusts me 100%."

"As for betraying masters, there are two words in my hometown that I'll teach you.

"The first was that there was no such thing as too much deception in war. In war, we have to use deception tactics as much as possible, and this has nothing to do with personal morality.

"The second one is called winner takes all. The winner wins everything. As long as we obtain the final victory, glory and reputation will be at our fingertips."

Snow Fog's eyes lit up. She, who was determined to take revenge, agreed with Ning Shi's words.

[Snow Fog feels that what you said is very reasonable and has developed a sense of worship for you. Character intimacy 5. Current character intimacy level is 75.]

Ning Shi, "…"

After the meal, Ning Shi called for the Cat-man assassin Sonya.

"Send a few people to keep an eye on the third Prince Alesia's whereabouts. Don't keep a close eye on him to avoid being discovered. He should have gone to the Duke of Rose's territory. If there are any big movements in her territory, be sure to let me know at once."

"Yes, my Lord. Right now, externally, we have to find out the movements of the three empires. Internally, we also have to collect information on the remaining forces in Duohuang. If we send more people to the Duke of Rose's territory, we won't have enough manpower."

"I request to recruit more people to expand the intelligence department."

"No problem." Ning Shi nodded. "In the streets we rule, we have a large number of captives and slaves. You can pick out some reliable people yourself."

!!

"Understood!" Sonya received the order and left.

"We've already taken control of 53 streets," Snow Fog said. "The major forces of the remaining 65 streets, under the leadership of the Mercenary Alliance, have reached an agreement to collaborate and defend against us."

"In order to resist us, these forces have each transferred their men to form a twenty-thousand-men army known as the Duohuang Freedom Battle Legion. They have also issued a statement to the public."

"They claimed that no matter which street the extreme battle group attacked, the Duohuang Freedom Battle Legion would be the first to send reinforcements and defend, and even counterattack."

Ning Shi smiled. "This public statement really feels like a bluff. That's good too. We're on a tight schedule, and if they're all gathered together, we'll be able to take them down in one wave!"

"How many soldiers do we have now?"

According to Ning Shi's arrangement, Snow Fog was now in charge of all the warriors of the extreme battle group.

"I have 498 extreme wilderness barbarian warriors, 2000 gladiators, Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce, more than 1000 elves from the elven longbow group, and 58 people from mage squads."

"Additionally, we have 3000 captives and over 30000 slaves. I've selected over 3000 from them to join the battle legion."

"Right now, the entire battle group has a total of 6600 people, of which, over 100 are intelligence personnel, and 6500 are combat personnel."

"In terms of numbers, the extreme battle group only has 6500 soldiers. Compared to the Duohuang Freedom Battle Legion's 20000 soldiers, there seems to be a huge gap."

However, Ning Shi had always walked the path of an elite soldier. The warriors of the extreme battle group were all one-in-a-hundred elites. If they really fought, Ning Shi was confident that he could defeat the so-called Duohuang Freedom Battle Legion head-on.

Ning Shi stood up and said to Snow Fog, "Since the Duohuang Freedom Battle Legion likes to provide reinforcements, then let them experience the military wisdom of my hometown."

"Snow Fog, let me teach you another phrase from my hometown."

"Surround a spot and attack the reinforcements!"

Frank Street was one of the first streets in Duohuang and was once the trading center of the region.

As more and more streets were built, and since the new streets were not built with Frank Street as the center, Frank Street was gradually marginalized, and the prosperity of the past was short-lived.

As such, Frank Street did not have any of the core trades of Duohuang, such as magic cores, slaves, entertainment, and so on.

There was only one trade here, which was the slaughtering and selling of raw meat.

Whether it was the unique meat of the three great empires or the various types of magical beasts from the deserted north plains, they could all be found here. 𝑵𝓞𝑣𝞮𝐿𝒰𝓈𝑏.𝑪𝞸𝐦

The meat supply of the entire Duohuang and the international meat trade basically came from Frank Street.

Compared to the other bustling streets, Frank Street was not engaged in lucrative trade, but it was still a very important and strategic location in the war.

Ning Shi had his eye on this street right away.

Because they had to besiege the location and attack the reinforcements, Ning Shi led 500 extreme barbarian warriors and swaggered down Frank Street.

Ning Shi took the lead, and behind him was a group of tall and sturdy barbarians holding huge wolf-tooth clubs in their hands. They walked unhurriedly towards the Blood Chambers of Commerce's encampment.

At this time, if there was a piece of background music like "Superstars in Troubled Times", their mafia-life vibes would probably be even more intense.

Although many of the merchants on the street were burly butchers, at this moment, they all acted like little girls, hiding in their shops and closing their doors.

Those who were even more timid directly ran away.

As soon as Ning Shi walked into Frank Street, the ruler of the street, the president of the Blood Chambers of Commerce, Tai Rouzi, noticed him.

He reacted quickly and ordered the guards of the Blood Chambers of Commerce to use the defensive facilities and resources that had been prepared long ago to defend the place.

He rode on his horned dragon horse and rushed towards the Native Street.

The Native Street was the largest and most populated street in Duohuang. It was also the base of the Mercenary Alliance.

After Tai Rouzi rushed to the Mercenary Alliance's base, he didn't even greet anyone and directly rushed into the meeting hall!

"Lady Yelina, please send reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements!"

"The extreme battle group is currently attacking Frank Street. Please follow the plan prepared by the Duohuang Freedom Battle Legion and send out a gathering order to reinforce the Blood Chambers of Commerce!"

The 20000 men army of the Duohuang Freedom Battle Legion was not gathered together.

As the defending side, they could not gather their troops at will. Not only did it consume manpower and resources, but they also did not have a base large enough for 20000 people.

According to their plan, as long as any street in the alliance was attacked, the Chief Yelina would issue an order to assemble.

The forces of each street would send combat personnel that had been selected in advance to gather near the street that was attacked to stop the evil actions of the extreme battle group.

Yelina was the leader of the Mercenary Alliance, one of the original four forces of Duohuang. She was also the leader of the newly formed Duohuang Freedom Battle Legion.

She was a powerful-looking woman. She was more than 2 meters tall and 1.8 meters wide. She was a super fat woman.

After hearing Tai Rouzi's words, Yelina stood up. Her entire body was like a mountain of flesh, blocking out the afternoon sun.

Surprisingly, her voice was very light.

"Tai Rouzi, don't worry. How many people did the extreme battle group send?"

"It's the Lord of the extreme wilderness, Ning Shi, and he was leading a group of extreme barbarians. There are about 500 of them."

Tai Rouzi wiped his sweat and said hurriedly, "Lady Yelina, we can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the headquarters of the Blood Chambers of Commerce will definitely be broken through!"

"Only barbarian warriors? Were there any gladiators and elven archers?"

"No, I didn't,"

A handsome half-elf male suggested as he looked at Yelina affectionately, "My dear, Ning Shi likes to use ambushes. Last time, the Blood Chambers of Commerce and the Griffin Chamber of Commerce were tricked by him. Right now, only barbarians appeared on Frank Street. The other warriors of the extreme battle group must be lying in ambush in the surroundings."

"If we rush over rashly, we'll definitely fall into their trap."

Hearing the half-elf's words, Tai Touzi panicked. If he didn't know that this half-elf was Lord Yelina's gigolo, he would have stabbed him with his sword.

"Lady Yelina, we had an agreement when we formed the alliance. If you don't issue the order to gather, what's the point of the alliance's existence?"

A cold glint flashed in Yelina's eyes as she stared at Tai Touzi.

"I can give you the assembly order. You can go and gather reinforcements by yourself!"

Tai Rouzi looked at Yelina in disbelief. The main force of the Duohuang Freedom Battle Legion was the 4000-strong mercenary group of the Mercenary Alliance.

Without Yelina's appearance, even if Tai Rouzi received the summoning order, he would not be able to get any reinforcements.

"Lady Yelina, don't you understand the principle of mutual dependence? If you don't help us this time, the alliance will fall apart!"

Tai Rouzi continued to persuade. The reinforcements of the Freedom Battle Legion were the only hope for the Blood Chambers of Commerce. He was not willing to give up.

However, Yelina ignored him and threw the assembly order at his feet.

Sensing Yelina's determination, Tai Rouzi was in complete despair. He left the Mercenary Alliance's base with a face full of grief and anger.

After Tai Rouzi left, Yelina said to the half-elf escort, "Avela, get ready. Let's surrender to the extreme battle group."

Avela was shocked. "Dear, we still have 4000 warriors and we can use the random people of the freedom battle legion as human shields. As long as we defend, we can still hold on."

"The Lord of the extreme wilderness had killed His Highness Anjelo and destroyed the Ole Empire's Griffin Chamber of Commerce in Duohuang. The people of the three empires would definitely not let him off."

"As long as we can survive this period of time, the extreme battle group will definitely be crushed by the three great empires."

Yelina sneered, the fat on her face jiggling.

"Human shields? Do you really think the freedom battle legion's various powers are just human shields? They are just a group of stray dogs with their own ulterior motives."

"If all the organizations in the freedom battle legion were united, we might have a chance of delaying the unification of the extreme battle group."

"Unfortunately, who doesn't have selfish motives?"

"The extreme battle group sent barbarians to attack Frank Street and used an ambush strategy. Our best response is to send a portion of our warriors to support the Blood Chambers of Commerce and leave another portion of our warriors to surround them."

"When the ambush of the extreme battle group and our reinforcements are locked in a fierce battle, our soldiers who have surrounded them will attack from the side and catch them off guard."

"We might have a chance of winning."

"Unfortunately, no one was willing to be the sacrificial first wave of reinforcement. Everyone would prefer to be the backup for the counter-attack."

"I've barely managed to gather 20000 men, when it comes to commanding the battle, those powers will not be completely obedient."

Yelina's chubby hand held onto Avela's slender hand as she continued.

"It was your idea to form the freedom battle legion, and I supported it. Unfortunately, the effect was too weak. At this moment, there might already be some Chambers of Commerce in the alliance that have taken the initiative to side with the extreme battle group."

"If we want to pick a side, we have to do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be a disaster. Lord of the extreme wilderness, Ning Shi, is a person who likes order. As long as we follow the his rules, we can still live well."

"As for the pressure from the three empires you mentioned, as far as I know, Ning Shi has already joined the Brad Empire's third Prince, His Highness Alesia. With the Brad Empire's support, the extreme desolate Legion won't fall in the short term."

The Blood Chambers of Commerce's base was currently covered in broken limbs and blood.

Even with the fortifications they had prepared in advance, the guards of the Blood Chambers of Commerce were either killed or injured in the face of the violent attack of the extreme barbarians. In the end, all of them knelt down and surrendered.

Ning Shi had already tried his best to slow down the speed of the attack, but unfortunately, the freedom battle group' reinforcements had never arrived.

After waiting for another half an hour, there was still no movement from the reinforcements. Snow Fog gave up on the ambush and directly appeared.

Walking up to Ning Shi, Snow Fog asked doubtfully, "Boss, is this what you meant by attacking the reinforcement?"

Ning Shi's face turned red. He couldn't back down, so he said shamelessly, "There's a saying in my hometown, 'Even a wise man will make a mistake.' My intelligence isn't invincible. It's normal for me to make a mistake once in a while."

[Snow Fog admires your shamelessness and feels that the hope of revenge has increased by another point. Character intimacy 1. Current character intimacy level: 76.]

Ning Shi: "!!!"

47 Unifying Duohuang 𝞰𝑜𝒱𝓮𝓛𝑈𝐬𝒷.𝓬𝑜𝕞

After successfully taking down Frank Street, Ning Shi didn't bother about the matter of reinforcements.

He ordered Snow Fog to continue following him secretly with the large group while he led the extreme barbarians to Star Street, which was next to Frank Street.

It's good that the reinforcements didn't come. He can take down another street.

As soon as he walked into Star Street, the situation caught Ning Shi off guard.

An old foxman in a colorful feather robe stood at the entrance of the street with a group of beastmen.

!!

"Respected Lord Ning Shi, the Beastman Chambers of Commerce is willing to pledge loyalty to you. From now on, we will follow your command, obey your orders, and adhere to your rules."

The Beastman Chambers of Commerce was a relatively large force in Duohuang, occupying three streets.

It had an extremely powerful beastman battle legion with 3000 members. Their combat strength was not inferior to the four major forces.

It could even be stronger.

The reason why they only occupied three streets was mainly due to the decline of the beastman race.

Without the support of a major power, they were suppressed and ostracized by humans.

The beastmen used to have a complete empire that ruled the vast and rich Duonau Plains. They believed in the God of the beastmen, Guevsh.

Guevsh's divine concepts were power and war, so the beastmen advocated force and were keen on invasion and battles.

Relying on the powerful physique of the beastman warriors and the various magical abilities of the beastman shamans, the Beastman Empire engagd in wars everywhere and forced the humans to retreat. It was once extremely glorious.

Unfortunately, after the thousand-year catastrophe, the God of beastmen, Guevsh, no longer responded to the prayers of his believers, and all the beastman shamans lost their powers.

Humans, on the other hand, mastered the power of the bloodline and became stronger and stronger.

In the end, the Beastman Empire was destroyed by the joint forces of the humans and elves.

The Duonau Plains had been seized by the humans and the elves, and with the Duonau River as the boundary, the Elven Empire and the Brad Empire each ruled half of the plains.

The beastmen lost their homes, and the remaining tribes wandered to the undeveloped deserted north plains and settled down.

Due to the beastmen's past invasion, humans had always pursued a strategy to suppress them.

Under such circumstances, it was already not easy for the Beastman Chambers of Commerce to rule three streets in Duohuang.

Ning Shi didn't reject them. From a player's point of view, they were all NPCs and he had no emotional bias. It was fine as long as they could be used by him.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Fox, the president of the Beastman Chambers of Commerce."

Ning Shi glanced at the strong beastman warriors behind Fox. There were bearmen, wolfmen, bullmen, and tigermen. It was obvious that they were all elite warriors of their tribes.

"President Fox, I can accept the surrender of the orc trade union, and I'll give you the same treatment as humans."

"However, I'll make this clear. After you surrender, I'll take in the beastman battle legion, and the Beastman Chambers of Commerce can only keep a guard team of less than 200 people."

"Can you accept such a condition?"

Fox had obviously thought this through. He replied without any hesitation, "The Beastman Chambers of Commerce will listen to your arrangements. The beastman warriors worship strength. They have long wanted to join the extreme battle group. There won't be any resistance to your recruitment."

Ning Shi looked at Fox and nodded in satisfaction.

This Fox was obviously extremely intelligent, and he needed such a talent to help him govern Duohuang.

"As the first force to submit to me, I will not be stingy with my rewards."

"Fox, after the unification of Duohuang, you may work in the City Hall. If you perform well, you'll be appointed as the Minister of Trade and Economics."

Fox's old face bloomed like a flower as he knelt down and said loudly, "We'll follow your arrangements, my Lord!"

After the Beastman Chambers of Commerce had surrendered, Ning Shi took down three more streets. He also had more powerful beastman warriors under his command, and the situation was great.

The meteoric heavy sword in Ning Shi's hand was already thirsty. He couldn't help but want to kill anyone who resisted and accumulate experience points to level up.

Unfortunately, things did not go as Ning Shi wished.

The submission of the Beastman Chambers of Commerce was like opening a door, and other forces behind the door surged in.

In just ten minutes, several forces had surrendered.

When Yelina brought her people to submit, nine forces of the freedom alliance had already defected and submitted to Ning Shi.

The fat on Yelina's face trembled as she cursed in her heart, "A bunch of fence sitters and soft-legged shrimps."

She turned around and knelt on one knee in front of Ning Shi.

"Lord Ning Shi, my name is Yelina, and I'm the leader of the Mercenary Alliance. Duohuang has been in chaos for hundreds of years, and the indigenous people here have long been in pain."

"I've been waiting for so long, and finally, a hero like you has emerged. You'll be able to sweep away the evildoers, unify the vast Duohuang, and bring us long-awaited order."

"The Mercenary Alliance is willing to submit to you, my Lord, and contribute to your rule."

Ning Shi was dumbstruck by these words.

Looking at Yelina's meatball-like figure and fierce-looking face, Ning Shi thought that she was a strong general. Who knew that she was so skilled at flattering.

What he didn't know was that the reason the Mercenary Alliance could become the fourth largest force in the vast wilderness was because of Yelina's connections, allowing her to wander between the forces of the three great empires.

Ning Shi valued talents like Yelina who could become the leader of a force. He would not judge a person by their appearance and discriminate against her because of her obesity.

With Yelina's surrender, there were no more obstacles in the entire Duohuang region. Wherever the extreme battle group went, all the forces would surrender.

[You've successfully occupied the entire Duohuang city and completed main storyline mission 3. Experience points 500000. The limit for recruiting servants has been increased to 5000.]

Ning Shi did not hesitate and directly contracted all the leaders of the chambers of commerce, mercenary groups, and battle legions on the street as his servants, including Fox and Yelina.

After that, he selected the strongest group of people from all the battle legions and filled up the 3000 slots for servants.

After a series of actions, the entire Duohuang was completely in Ning Shi's hands, and there were no more actions.

Ning Shi abandoned the past battle legion arrangements and directly established a professional army.

As Duohuang was an extremely rich land and had a high proportion of soldiers, Ning Shi managed to gather an army of more than 50000 people.

A total of 4800 people, including extreme barbarians, gladiators, beastmen, and other elite warriors, formed the Undying Trump Troop, directly led by Ning Shi.

The warriors of the Undying Trump Troop all had super strong physiques and purple regeneration talent, and their close combat ability could be said to be invincible.

With the elf longbow group and the mage squad as the core, bloodline warriors and archers who were good at long-range attacks were selected. They formed the Duohuang Artillery Force with 20000 people, led by the star elf Snow Fog.

With the original warriors of the various forces in Duohuang as the foundation, the Duohuang City Guards was established, led by the former leader of the Mercenary Alliance, Yelina. It had 30000 people.

After organizing the troops, Snow Fog went to the City Lord's mansion, where the Bloodline Chambers of Commerce used to be.

"Boss, as per your instructions, the blacksmith camp is already working hard on forging weapons and armors. The armors and weapons of the Undying Trump Troop have already been prepared, but there are still gaps in the artillery force and city guards."

"In addition, we have to choose enough magical beasts as mounts for the army. Otherwise, they will naturally lack mobility in battle."

Ning Shi nodded. In the game world, whether it was elves or humans, the trump troops were always cavalry. Not only were they highly mobile, but the combat power of the magical beasts was also very strong.

"Do you have a magical beast in mind?"

Snow Fog had a plan in mind, so she quickly replied, "The firepower that I'm leading is mainly for long-range attacks. We need lightweight magical beasts that can move extremely fast. I suggest that they all be equipped with beginner magical beasts, wind wolves."

"Soldiers of the Undying Trump Troop are tall and strong, and are equipped with heavy armor and weapons. The mount must have a strong carrying capacity and must also maintain a certain speed. It is recommended to equip them with a intermediate magical beast, mammoth."

"Mammoths have huge bodies and are good at earth magic. They are extremely fast when they are running on the ground, and their impact force is extremely strong. They are very suitable for a trump troop."

Seeing that Ning Shi didn't speak, Snow Fog continued.

"In Duohuang, the biggest magical beast trading entity is the Native Chambers of Commerce controlled by the Mercenary Alliance. The natives have been living in the deserted north plains for thousands of years and are very familiar with the magical beasts here."

"According to boss's request, we only broke up the battle legion belonging to the Chambers of Commerce and didn't do anything to the their property and materials. This time, we can directly purchase the mounts from them."

Ning Shi nodded. In order to protect the trade in the Duohuang, he did not seize any Chamber of Commerce's wealth.

Of course, the properties of the streets, Chambers of Commerce, and forces that had previously been taken over by force were all confiscated.

"Magis, go and call Amy over."

Magis left after receiving the order, and Amy walked in with a bow.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her face was slightly red. Ever since Ning Shi had taken over Duohuang, Amy had been in a state of excitement.

"Amy, we've destroyed 21 forces in total, including the Bloodline Chamber of Commerce and the Griffin Chambers of Commerce. How many resources have we obtained from that?"

"My Lord, after a preliminary count, we've collected a total of 15 million gold coins, over 300 land deeds and real estate, 110 thousand slaves, 34590 beginner magic cores, 13212 intermediate magic cores, and the rest of the weapons, armors, potions, minerals, gemstones, and other materials are all listed on this list. Please take a look."

Ning Shi glanced at the list. It was densely packed and he was very satisfied.

As expected of the center of international trade in the game world, the wealth in Duohuang was simply too shocking.

It should be known that the Brad Empire's annual tax was only about 10 million gold coins. Ning Shi had only destroyed 21 forces in Duohuang, and the gold coins collected were enough to cover one and a half years of an empire's tax.

This did not even include the price of magic cores and other materials.

War was indeed the best way to get rich quickly. This was really a wave of profit.

"Snow Fog, what are the prices of mammoths and wind wolves? Can the Native Chambers of Commerce provide so many magical beasts?"

Snow Fog's hair stood excitedly on end when she heard Amy's report.

"20 gold coins for a wind wolf, 100 gold coins for a mammoth."

Ning Shi was a little surprised. "It's so cheap? I remember that an intermediate magic core is worth 100 gold coins. Why is the price of an intermediate magical beast different from an equivalent magic core? "

"An average intermediate magical beast is worth around 50 to 60 gold coins, which is cheaper than an intermediate level magic core. This is because not all magical beasts have magic cores, and you may not even get a single magic core after killing a few magical beasts."

"That is why magic cores are more expensive than magic beasts."

"Mammoths are sold for 100 gold coins because they are top tier intermediate magical beasts."

"As for the quantity, boss, you don't have to worry about it. The Native Chambers of Commerce has two magical beast breeding grounds in the deserted north plains. Mammoths and wind wolves are the magical beasts that they have been focusing on breeding.

"We'll buy them in bulk, so the price might be even more favorable."

Ning Shi, however, waved his hand. "Just buy at the original price. Don't pressure them to lower the price. We should not use our power as a ruler to interfere with the market."

"The rules of the market can not be broken. Without a autonomous business environment, Duohuang will lose its vitality."

Duohuang was built on commerce, and the more prosperous the commerce was, the more taxes Ning Shi collected.

As a ruler, Ning Shi was determined to maintain Duohuang's business environment.

Report chapter Comments

Hearing Ning Shi's words, Amy took over and said, "My Lord, I have already paid the deposit for the magical beasts. The mammoths and wind wolves have already been transported to the temporary barracks in the north of the city. The soldiers of the Army should be familiarizing themselves with their magical beasts by now."

Ning Shi and Snow Fog were both shocked, and Amy quickly explained, "Lord Snow Fog mentioned to me about using magical beasts as mounts before. I thought of what you said, Lord Ning Shi, that the situation was urgent and everything had to be done quickly, so I made the decision to buy the magical beasts."

Ning Shi wasn't angry at Amy's decision.

Amy was his contracted servant, so her loyalty was not a problem. But it was related to the army, so Ning Shi still instructed her.

"There are some things you can decide on, but when it comes to something as important as the military, you should ask me first, understand?"

!!

Amy agreed in fear and trepidation.

Ning Shi asked Amy.

"How's the situation with the grain purchase?"

Duohuang was essentially a commercial city, and there were no people in the field of food farming.

Although the soil of the deserted north plains was not fertile, as long as one was willing to cultivate it, they could still grow a lot of food. 𝗇𝑂𝑽𝚎𝒍𝑢𝓈𝗯.𝗰𝗈𝓂

However, the people living here were all gnomes, barbarians, barbarians, beastmen and other races that did not know how to farm. The vast land of the deserted north plains had not been developed.

There were many magical beasts in the deserted north plains, and human farmers would be attacked by magical beasts if they farmed here. As such, no human was willing to move here to farm.

That was why Duohuang did not produce its own grain.

In the past, the major powers of Duohuang didn't have much to worry about. Duohuang was rich, and the food production in the game world was very high, so the food price was very cheap.

He could easily keep buying and buying with the gold coins.

But Ning Shi was very concerned about food.

If he were to unify the entire Duohuang and Anjelo, the Elven Empire and the Ole Empire would probably take the opportunity to send their troops. War was approaching, so he needed sufficient food.

Developing the deserted north plains and achieving self-sufficiency in food was a long term plan.

He had to make the best use of his time to stock up on enough food.

Amy replied, "The Elven Empire and the Ole Empire have already banned the sale of food to us. Fortunately, His Highness Alesia mediated, and the grain merchants of the Brad Empire were still willing to sell food to us."

"According to your request, I have paid for the urgent transportation. Several grain merchants have used airships to transport the grain here. The three granaries are already full."

"Based on the standard food intake of two meals a day, this amount of food is enough to feed more than 500000 people in Duohuang for half a year."

Ning Shi nodded in satisfaction.

"Amy, you did well! I've asked Elon to set up a magic core workshop. How is he doing?"

Amy was excited to be praised by Ning Shi. She tried to hide her joy.

"The magic core workshop has already been set up. All of the best magic core smiths in the entire wasteland have been conscripted. The workshop is completely closed off and is heavily guarded. The smiths have already started to follow the magic core cannon blueprints and produce them."

The magic core smith was a profession unique to the game world. It mainly created various tools and weapons related to magic cores.

For example, the airships flying in the sky were powered by the magic propellers made of magic core. Other tools included magic crystal lamps, bloodline weapons, magic trucks, and so on.

Even the magic teleportation arrays that only existed in major cities were the work of magic core smiths.

In the game world, magic cores were used as a driving force, and a brilliant magic core civilization was hence developed.

The magic core smiths were simply big shots in scientific research in the real world.

It was just that in this transcendent world, magic core smiths did not have very high combat power, so the profession's status was not very high.

After Ning Shi had taken over the first street, he had already prepared to set up his own magic core workshop.

Now that the workshop was finally completed, he asked Amy, "Have you selected suitable gnomes to be smith's assistants?"

"Yes, my Lord. We have selected from tens of thousands of gnomes. We have more than 3000 gnomes for the first batch of assistants. We hope that they can appreciate your kindness and grasp this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"There were millions of gnomes in the deserted north plains, so many gnomes came to Duohuang City for work as well.

Gnomes were short and weak. They were often bullied in DUohuang, and all they did was do the dirty work of washing dishes and wiping the floor. Old Harper, who Ning Shi had met when he was buying slaves, was already one of the most powerful gnomes.

Ning Shi was also a person who had played a variety of games and knew the advantages of gnomes. In order to prevent the game world from having special settings for gnomes, he also used his insight technique to check the information of a gnome.

Although its physique was weak and only had 5 points, his spiritual power had reached 12 points.

The gnomes had three talents: the blue talent for learning, the blue talent for flexibility, and the gold talent for precision.

[Flexibility (blue): Increases body coordination and flexibility to a certain extent.]

[Precision (gold): Greatly increases the precise control of the brain over the limbs, granting extremely precise control over the hands.]

With the addition of the three talents, gnomes were born to be magic core smiths.

Gnomes lived in caves and weren't hygienic, so they were usually dirty and smelly. In addition, they had weak bodies and cunning personalities, so humans were full of discrimination against goblins.

Nobody even bothered to look at the gnome race's natural talent.

This instead helped Ning Shi.

It wouldn't be long before tens of thousands of gnome smiths appeared in Duohuang, leading the trend of magic core tools in the entire world.

The magic core workshop had already been established, and the magic core cannons would soon be ready. All that was left was the city walls.

A hint of hesitance appeared on Amy's face at the mention of the city walls.

"My Lord, we have 110000 slaves. We have enough labor to build the city walls, but we lack raw materials. We do not have enough rocks."

"If we're not in a hurry, we can transport the rocks from afar to Duohuang."

"However, you have requested for the construction of the four walls surrounding Duohuang within a week. It will be difficult to complete without the local rocks."

Ning Shi was speechless. There were no mountains in the deserted north plains, so there were no rocks.

In the past, the streets of Duohuang had been repaired with stones transported from other places.

However, this was not a problem for Ning Shi. Although there were no stones here, there was a lot of soil.

He logged out of the game and returned to reality. He went online to search up the entire process of making mud and bricks.

Then, he returned to the game and wrote down the brick-making process to Amy.

"According to the method on the paper, we can turn the soil into rocks. Quickly send people to make it. My requirements are not high. It is enough as long as the city wall is three meters high and can be equipped with magic core cannons."

The reason why they hurried to build the city walls was because according to the game system's prompt, the magic core cannons had to be fixed on the city walls to be used. The city walls were just a tool.

For now, they only needed to build a short city wall. When the war was over, they would have plenty of time to slowly complete the city wall.

"After the magic core cannons for the city defense are completed, we can let the magic core smiths do some more research and see if they can invent a mobile magic core cannon."

As Ning Shi was thinking, the head of the intelligence department, the cat-man Sonya, hurriedly walked in.

"My Lord, the Dark Moon Vanguards of the Moon Elves' New Moon Army have appeared 300 miles away from Duohuang at the Wangnan River. They have a total of 50000 people and is preparing to cross the river."

"With the speed of the Dark Moon Vanguards, they will reach Duohuang city in about five hours."

Snow Fog, who had been silent for a long time, immediately said, "Boss, we have to think of a good strategy. The moon elves were extremely powerful. They had a total of three legions, and a total of one million people."

"The three legions are the New Moon Army with a total of 400000 soldiers, the Full Moon Army with a total of 500000 soldiers, and the most powerful Mood God Army with 100000 soldiers."

"Moon elves are born with powerful bloodlines. An adult moon elf's combat power is comparable to a human bloodline warrior of Level 10. So, even though moon elves only have one million people, they can battle and army of ten million at any time if they want to."

The star elves had almost been exterminated by the moon elves, and Snow Fog had a deep understanding of how powerful the moon elves were."

Ning Shi was not surprised by this.

The total population of the elves was less than 80 million, but they could compete with the humans, whose total population had already reached 1 billion.

Even though it was sandwiched between the two human empires, the Elven Empire was not afraid at all. Its powerful combat power was evident.

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. It's just a mere 50000 vanguards. There's nothing to be afraid of. Snow Fog, what are the types of soldiers in the vanguards?"

Seeing that the moon elves had sent vanguards, Ning Shi wasn't afraid. Instead, he was very excited.

They were all experience points!

In his eyes, the group of vanguards was just an experience bag.

"Boss, the Dark Moon Vanguards are one of the Trump cards of the New Moon Army. The vanguards are all mounted on low level beginner magic beasts, moon wolves. The moon wolves could use moonlight magic. Their speed for short-distance sprints was not the best, but their endurance for long-distance sprints was very strong."

"In terms of troops, it will be made up of 10000 bear druids, 20000 moon knights, and 20000 night rangers, taking into account close combat, guerrilla, and long-range attacks."

Ning Shi looked at the time. It was five in the afternoon.

"The Dark Moon Vanguard's timing is very accurate. By the time they arrive, it would be 10 o'clock at night, and the moon would be high in the sky."

Snow Fog nodded. "This is a common strategy of the moon elves. Their priests can accurately predict the weather. The night sky will definitely be clear tonight and the moonlight will shine on the earth."

"After bathing in the moonlight, the Dark Moon Vanguard's speed and damage would be greatly enhanced."

"They chose to set off at 5 o'clock, so they must have calculated that around 10 o'clock tonight is the time when the moon is the brightest. They will arrive at that time and launch a lightning attack on us."

Ning Shi laughed and stood up. Passive defense was not his style.

Furthermore, there were no city walls in Duohuang at the moment. The city was built on a plain, so there was no place to defend.

"We'll take the initiative to attack! Go to the path of the Dark Moon Vanguards and fight them head-on!"

If they set off now, the two armies would meet at around eight in the evening. The moon was not at its brightest, and the boost to the Dark Moon Vanguard would not be at its maximum.

"Snow Fog, let's go. I'll let you collect some interest tonight!"

"Follow me, kill!"

Snow Fog's exquisite face flushed red with the desire for revenge. She replied loudly.

"Kill!"

49 Destiny

Rose City was the largest city in the Duke of Rose's territory and the Western part of the Brad Empire.

In this city, there were plenty of sunlight and a lack of rainfall. These conditions were very suitable for the growth of roses which liked sunlight and dry weather.

The people of Rose City loved roses. Walking down any street in the city, one could see girls wearing roses in their hair, boys holding bouquets of roses, and roses of different varieties decorated on both sides of the street.

Even the locals' clothes were embroidered with all kinds of rose patterns.

!!

While strolling on the streets, Alesia couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the colorful flowers and the endless flow of people.

"Duke of Rose is truly a hero of his generation. He managed to turn the Rose territory into a prosperous city. Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of the talented Duke and he was killed by the Taikoo Red Dragon."

"One day, I'll kill that evil dragon and take revenge for Duke Dubo!"

Beside him was a tall and thin man who always had a gloomy expression.

The man was wearing a large purple noble robe.

In the Brad Empire, gold was the most prestigious and respected color because the royal family had the bloodline of the Golden Lion.

Only the royal family could wear golden clothes.

Second to gold was purple and only nobles with fiefs above the Marquis rank could wear purple robes.

This man obviously had an extraordinary identity, but he looked a little funny in his long robe.

The man was too thin, like a bamboo pole. The long robe that was supposed to set off the noble's prestige was too loose on him, and there was no sense of authority from him at all.

"Your Highness Alesia, thank you for your affirmation of my father. We can talk about revenge later. The most important thing now is to continue the bloodline of the Rose family."

"The title of Duke can not fall into the hands of unknown people."

"Your Highness Alesia, please come in!"

The man led Alesia to a luxuriously decorated tavern. The two of them walked into a VIP room, and the guards stood outside.

After a while, all kinds of delicious food were served one by one. The man took the initiative to fill Alesia's glass with wine and said,

"Your Highness Alesia, this is Rose City's specialty, the Five-colored Rose Wine. It's rich and fragrant. With just a sip, you feel like you're bathing in a sea of roses."

Alesia picked up the glass and sniffed it. Then, he raised his head and drank it in one gulp. He closed his eyes and clapped his hands in admiration.

"Good wine! This is a really good wine, Gray! Rose territory is really full of resources and talents. I wonder who will rule such a good land in the end."

The man was none other than Lena's older brother, Gray, one of Duke Dubo's illegitimate children.

"Your Highness, Rose territory can only be inherited by me, and it should have been inherited by me. Lena and Allie have unknown origins. They are said to be father's illegitimate children, but who knows the truth?"

"Who in Rose City doesn't know that my father, Duke Dubo, is a sentimental man? The number of women he's slept with is uncountable. I'm afraid that some of the women will claim that their bastard children, who are lowly commoners, have the blood of the noble in order to cling to him."

Gray's mother was the daughter of Duke Canbria, her name was Oroda.

The private lives of the nobles were extremely chaotic. Even after Oroda married a Marquis of Duke Canbria's fief, she still did not change her lecherous behavior and continued to attract bees and butterflies.

Duke Dubo was also one of her guests.

After the death of Oroda's husband, Duke Dubo even lived with her for a period of time. It was during that time that Oroda got pregnant and gave birth to Gray.

After all, Dubo and Oroda had an affair. Although Gray had a great background, he was still not a legitimate son. He was an illegitimate child with a low status.

Oroda was very fond of Gray and had kept him by her side to raise him. It was not until the Duke of Rose was attacked by the Taikoo Red Dragon that Gray came to the Rose territory to compete for the title.

From Gray's point of view, he had the noble bloodline of two Dukes and was born to be a noble.

His older sister Allie's mother was a merchant, and his younger sister Lena's mother was a songstress. Both of their bloodlines were lowly, and could not be compared to his.

It was hateful that the Rose Knights and the forces of the feudal nobles had to support two lowly commoners.

Alesia stared at Gray with a sincere expression and said seriously.

"Whether you believe it or not, I can only tell you that Duke Dubo was attacked by the Red Dragon. This matter has nothing to do with the royal family and the royal family has no intention of taking over the Rose territory."

"I'm here on behalf of His Majesty Joerger to support you in inheriting the title of the Duke of Rose and ending the power struggle in the Rose territory."

Upon hearing Alesia's words, Gray was ecstatic. He grinned so widely that his molars were exposed.

There were four forces in Rose City.

One of them was the Rose Knights, the Duke of Rose's trump card. They had 50000 people and were extremely powerful. They supported Lena.

One of them was the noble force within the Rose dukedom, led by the Marquis of Blackstone, who supported Allie.

The other one was the city guards of Rose City, the main Army of the Rose dukedom. They had the largest number of people, 200000, and they supported Gray.

The last one was the vassal group of the City Hall. Although they did not have a lot of troops, their influence was not bad and they were currently staying neutral.

Other than that, Gray also had hidden support from the Kambia family.

Therefore, in the current situation, Gray held the strongest power. If the royal family supported Gray, then the vassal group was likely to fall to Gray.

In this way, Gray was sure to win.

Gray was immersed in his beautiful imagination, and his soul wandered for a moment.

Alesia waited for a long time. Upon seeing that Gray didn't speak, he could only continue.

"As for the nobles in the Rose dukedom, the Marquis of the Dolphin is one of my men. He will gather a group of nobles to support you. This way, you will hold most of the power in the Rose dukedom."

"Now, you have two paths to take."

"First, you can use your power to pressure your opponent and decide the winner in the arena in advance. You can use your current strength to defeat your opponent."

"The second is to start a war and gather your subordinates to fight the Rose Knights and the remaining nobles. If you can win the final victory, you will become a Duke."

"I choose the first option, " Grimm said without hesitation. "We'll decide the winner in the arena in advance!

Grimm didn't want to start a war because the Rose Knights were extremely powerful. He wasn't sure if he could win.

Moreover, if he became the Duke, the Rose Knights would be his trump card, and there was no need to start a war to damage his own strength.

Gray explained as he was worried that Alesia would not agree.

"Your Highness, I have hidden my strength. On the surface, I have a level 3 bloodline and a level 12 bloodline warrior. The truth is that I have a level 5 bloodline and a level 23 bloodline warrior!"

"My opponent, Lena, only has a level 3 bloodline, and Allie has a level 4 bloodline, so she can't compete with me at all."

"Moreover, I have the Kambia family's support and the strongest external helper for the group arena."

Looking at Gray's proud expression, Alesia almost laughed out loud.

He knew that Gray had been under the care of his mother, Oroda, and had never lacked any training resources.

Now that he was 23 years old, he only had this little strength. His aptitude could only be said to be above average. 𝒏𝒐𝔳𝗲𝐋𝐔𝓈𝗯.𝔠𝒐𝗆

Yet, he still had that "I'm a genius" expression on his face.

If there was no other reason, Alesya would not even want to talk to Gray.

"Very good. Then, let's gather all our forces and put pressure on our opponents. We'll decide the winner in the arena in advance. We'll set the time to be one week later!"

After the discussion, the two of them ate something.

Gray could not sit still. With the support of the royal family and the position of Duke at hand, he could not wait to start his plan.

After accompanying him for a while more, Grimm stood up.

"Your Highness, I'll go and arrange the arena. You can have fun in Rose City after eating. I'll pay for all the expenses. I've left you a local guide. If you don't understand anything, you can ask him directly."

After he finished speaking, Grimm left in a hurry.

Looking at his back, Alesia kept shaking his head.

"Such a rash person, what a waste."

"He's just a tool. You're too strict, Allie!"

A voice rang out in Alesia's mind. He seemed to be used to it and was not surprised.

"Lionheart, you shouldn't be wrong this time, right? You've made me gain nothing in Duohuang."

Upon hearing this, the scimitar on Alesia's back kept shaking, as if it was angry.

"You actually doubt my ability? If it wasn't for my Lionheart blade, you would still be playing dumb in the palace!"

With a bitter smile on his face, Alesia explained.

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the trip to Duohuang was too depressing."

"You said that there were two heroic figures in Duohuang, half-elf Bruce and Star Elf Snow Fog."

"In the end, when I went over, I couldn't find any half-elves at all. Snow Fog was very beautiful, but I couldn't see anything special about her."

"You even said that with my physique, I could go to Duohuang and subdue the barbarians of the extreme wilderness. These barbarians would increase my strength greatly and even help me to unify the world in the future. However, someone else got there before me."

"Fortunately, I made Ning Shi a bloodline servant in the end, otherwise I would have gained nothing."

Lionheart Blade was also a little confused, but it didn't care.

"Allie, fate is supreme and unpredictable. I can only get a glimpse of it."

"Fate told me that Bruce would become the king of the half-elves, and under his leadership, the half-elves would gradually grow stronger and eventually become a powerful force that could compete with humans."

"As for Snow Fog, she would become the first Star elf to completely master the divine artifact, Starfall, and become the leader of the three great elves."

"As for Ning Shi, he's a completely unexpected person. I can't predict his future, just like yours, I can't see your future."

"That's why I asked you to use the bloodline servant contract on him even though you've already successfully recruited him."

Alesia was silent, and Lionheart blade continued, "If you're still holding a grudge against the extreme barbarians, I'll tell you a stronger race."

"In the northeast corner of the deserted North Plains, there was a group of desolate people. They used the souls of their ancestors as their power and held totems in their hands. They killed wild beasts like dogs and were much stronger than the extreme barbarians."

"When the matters at Rose dukedom are done, find an opportunity to subdue them."

Hearing Lionheart blade's words, Alesia's smile returned and he asked curiously.

"Is Lena really as amazing as you say? You didn't even let me stay in Duohuang for long, and kept urging me to come to the Rose dukedom."

The blade of the Lionheart saber shook again.

"Of course. She is the first human to have a supreme bloodline. Bruce is legendary, and Snow Fog is powerful, but compared to Lena, they are just little kids."

Lionheart Blade became excited as he spoke, and its blade emitted a wisp of red light.

"Do you also think that the death of Duke Dubo's family was your father Joerger's scheme?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Alesia replied.

"Hehe! It's precisely because all of you think this way that fate is the most terrifying."

!!

"Your level is not high enough and you don't know the terrifying strength of the Taikoo Red Dragon. Although your father is the ruler of a country, with his power, he definitely wouldn't dare to provoke the Taikoo Red Dragon."

"What?" Alesia's face was filled with disbelief. "You're saying that all of this was a coincidence?"

"That's right, it was all a coincidence of fate. The Taikoo Red Dragon woke up that day and flew there on a whim. It knocked over the airship carrying Duke Dubo's family and spat a Dragon Breath at the vehicle."

The death of Duke Dubo's family caused the royal family to be misunderstood and accounted for the matter silently.

Under the pressure of the other great nobles, the royal family would never dare to take back the Rose territory.

"As a result, Lena was chosen as one of the heirs. With the resources she received, her strength grew rapidly. In the arena battle in December, she defeated two other opponents in one fell swoop and became a Duke."

"In just half a year, she has transformed from a small villager to the Duke of Rose territory who rules over hundreds of millions of people. How's the story? Do you like it?"

Alesia remained silent, and Lionheart blade continued.

"You don't have to understand fate, but you have to respect the power of fate. If we had followed our original path, you and Lena wouldn't have crossed paths, but now we've touched the strings of fate."

"The time for the match had been brought forward, and Lena had lost her precious time to further develop her strength. She would lose without a doubt."

"When she's defeated, you'll appear by her side like a hero and help her grow. She'll develop a deep reliance on you, and with her help, you'll be able to rule the world and become the final winner in the battle between the Super level."

Alesia nodded and sighed.

"It's a pity that such a rich land like the Rose territory was given to a good-for-nothing like Gray."

The descendants of the Golden Lion bloodline were all good, but they would be influenced by their bloodline and become very domineering and possessive.

The bloodline in Alesia's body began to act up, and he was reluctant to give up such a good territory as Rose Dukedom.

The Lionheart Blade suddenly glowed as it warned.

"We have to give up Rose Dukedom. In our script, you supported Gray because of His Majesty Joerger. You wanted to support Lena in your heart."

"You must never recruit or subdue Gray in secret. Otherwise, when Lena grows up and finds out about your relationship with Gray, she might understand that everything was your plan, and your relationship will be broken."

"Lena can't become the Rose Duke either. Only after losing the Rose Dukedom will Lena have no one to rely on, so she'll rely on you."

"It doesn't matter if Rose Dukedom is gone, and it doesn't matter if Bruce and Snow Fog aren't subdued. Lena is very important, and we can't make any mistakes in this step."

"Humans had been on the path of bloodline warriors for thousands of years, and this path had long come to an end. The rising humans would definitely have a battle with the super magical beasts, the source of their bloodline!"

"The outcome of the war was covered by the fog of fate, and I couldn't see it."

"I only know that Lena was the first supreme expert to achieve the supreme bloodline, and she was the key person to the outcome of the war."

A confident smile bloomed on Alesia's face. He held the Lionheart Blade and muttered in his heart.

"Lena is important, but I'm the most important person. I'm the chosen one blessed by fate. With me around, humanity will definitely win!"

Lionheart Blade trembled a little in response to Alesia's declaration.

"After many years of management, your father, Joerger, is about to be taken over by you. Everything has finally begun. The Elven Empire has already sent their vanguards to carry out a siege. What's your plan?"

In response to Lionheart Blade's question, a smile appeared on Alesia's face.

"It's my first time in Rose City, so I'm planning to have a good look around."

"I've already convinced my father, Joerger, that the Brad Empire won't be sending troops to Duohuang."

"As for the rest, I'll need Ning Shi to take care of them himself. I won't let Duohuang mess up the overall arrangement."

In the Wangnan Grassland, a full moon had just risen.

A gray rabbit was secretly gnawing on weeds. It was very alert, and its two ears were raised high.

The cold moonlight shone on the rabbit's body, and its gray fur was dyed with a silver glow.

A huge green snake was lying in the deep bushes. It stared at the gray rabbit and was ready to attack.

Squeak!

The snake was stomped flat by a wolf's paw.

The rabbit was startled. Like an arrow that had left the bow, it suddenly burrowed into the grass hole.

The 50,000 men of the Dark Moon Vanguards were like a giant beast of the night, silently advancing in the grasslands.

The moon wolf ran extremely stably. If it didn't step on the huge snake, it wouldn't have made any sound.

Under the moonlight, the Dark Moon Vanguards moved at a steady pace, with a strange rhythm.

This rhythm was filled with killing intent.

"Stop!"

Ya'an, the commander of the vanguards, shouted. His voice spread far and wide in the open grassland.

The Night Beast made up of 50000 people stopped in its tracks.

"There are enemies ahead. Everyone, get ready for battle!"

The Dark Moon Vanguards were so confident that they did not send any scouts to look out for the enemies.

This was because from the Wangnan River to Duohuang, there was only grassland terrain along the way, and there was no place to set an ambush.

Moreover, under the moonlight, the five senses of the Moon Elves would be more sensitive, and no enemy would be able to escape their perception.

Under such circumstances, there was no point in sending out scouts.

As expected, Ya'an discovered the enemies when they were still a thousand meters away from the army.

The two armies slowly approached each other. When they were less than 300 meters apart, both sides could clearly see the other's troops.

A somber atmosphere filled the air, and the noisy chirping of insects on the grassland disappeared.

All was quiet except for the cold moonlight.

Just as Ya'an was about to ask something, Ning Shi waved his hand and directly preempted.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Fireballs streaked across the sky, and a rain of arrows whistled through the air. The firepower of the Duohuang Artillery Force instantly activated their long-range attacks.

In an instant, spells and arrows landed on the Moon Elves Army.

The Moon Elves didn't panic at all, and they raised their silver-white shields, blocking most of the fire attacks.

"Moonlight shield! Retreat!"

Seeing the Moon Elves raise their moonlight shield, Snow Fog knew that this sneak attack wouldn't be effective. After the Duohuang Artillery Force attacked, she immediately ordered the force to retreat.

The wind wolves that the Duohuang Artillery Force was riding on all activated gale steps and retreated at lightning speed.

Behind them, countless silver-white arrows fell.

Fortunately, they had moved quickly. These arrows were infused with Moonlight Magic. With the fragile defense of the artillery force, they would die if they were hit.

The long-range troops attacked each other for a round. Ning Shi had already led the Undying Trump Troop to the front.

Compared to the moon wolves' silent advance, the mammoths' running caused the Earth to shake violently, as if the ground would split open at any moment.

The mammoths cast two earth magic spells. One created rock armor, which covered the warriors and themselves, while the other allowed them to push the elephants' speed to the maximum.

Ya'an didn't expect Ning Shi to be so unruly and fight without saying a word. He even dared to use 5000 troops to attack his army of 50000 people.

Ya'an was caught off guard. 𝓷𝒪𝔳𝗲𝓵𝔲𝑠𝔅.𝔠𝑜𝓂

Buzzzzzz! Buzzzzzz!

In the face of the fierce melee attack, the moonlight shields could no longer hold on and burst like bubbles.

After all, the Dark Moon Vanguard was a regular army of the Moon Elves, and they had high combat standards.

"Phew, phew, phew!"

The Druids in the front row transformed into three-meter-tall black bears one after another, fearlessly blocking the mammoths' charge!

They didn't let the Trump Troops penetrate the camp and slaughter the long-range firepower at the back.

Of course, the price was huge.

The mammoths were huge, and the impact of this herd was like an avalanche!

Thousands of Druids were stomped into meat paste.

In just one wave of attack, half of the 10000 Druids on the front line of the vanguard army had been killed.

After being caught in the battle formation, the mammoths became clumsy.

"Give up the mount!"

Ning Shi roared. He jumped off the mammoth, and went straight for commander Ya'an!

Countless arrows and Moonlight Magic fell on Ning Shi, but Ning Shi didn't care. He took on all the attacks and came to Ya'an.

The blade rose in the air, shining with silver moonlight, shining on Ya'an's frightened face.

He raised his crescent whip and wrapped it around a night ranger next to him, using them as a shield. He then used the force of the whip to quickly retreat.

Buzzzzzz!

Blood splattered under the moonlight, and the blood seemed to glow with a silver light. The night ranger was cut in half.

Ya'an was slightly relieved. Just as he was about to release a skill to fight back, he found that Ning Shi's sword did not stop. After cutting the ranger's body, Ning Shi's blade approached again!

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The crescent whip wrapped around the heavy blade. After two rounds, the crescent at the tip of the whip went straight for Ning Shi's throat at a strange angle.

Ya'an smiled. The other party would definitely withdraw his sword to defend.

Who knew that Ning Shi completely ignored the crescent whip's attack and slashed his blade down fully!

Buzzzzzz! Thump thump thump!

Ya'an's head flew up and landed on the grass, spinning a few times.

The crescent on the crescent whip cut into Ning Shi's neck, but it only went in about two centimeters deep before it was unable to continue.

This small wound healed right after Ning Shi stretch his neck.

Facing the Undying Trump Troop, the Dark Moon Vanguards didn't fall into disorder. The remaining Druids all used their roar skills.

The warriors of the Trump Troops were instantly hit by the attack. However, they ignored the high-damage rangers and archers, who had fragile bodies, pulled their aggro, and began to attack the Druids who had transformed into black bears.

There was nothing wrong with the moon elves' battle strategy. Their enemy's Trump Troop was simply too overpowered. The Druids couldn't hold on in close combat and fell to the ground in a few hits.

The long-range troops didn't manage to make use of the time created by the Druids to deal enough lethal damage.

After the Druid troops died and their commander Ya'an also died, the morale of the Dark Night Vanguard finally collapsed and they fled in all directions.

Unfortunately, the moon wolves' short-distance running speed was completely outmatched by the wind wolves. At this time, Duohuang Artillery Force came out to give chase.

There was no place to hide in the vast plains, and the moon elves had nowhere to run. After resisting for a while, they began to kneel and beg for mercy.

This battle lasted for half an hour, and the real battle ended in about five minutes. Behind them was a one-sided pursuit.

In this head-on battle, the Duohuang Artillery Force only threw out a wave of attacks and did nothing.

This battle could be said to be the 5000 Undying Trump Troops directly crushing the 50000 Dark Moon vanguards.

Ning Shi was very satisfied with such combat power. As the Undying Trump Troops experienced more and more battles, their combat power would continue to increase!

This was because servants could also be upgraded.

As long as the Undying Trump Troops didn't die, they would become stronger the more they fought!

[Snow Fog was shocked by the strength of the Undying Trump Troops and felt that the hope of revenge has increased by another point. Character intimacy 4, current character intimacy 80.]

"Snow Fog, I promised you that you would collect some interest first. I'll let you deal with these 20000 Moon Elf captives."

"The greatest hero in my hometown once said, "A battle is to make the enemy's people less and make your own people more." I hope you can understand the meaning of this sentence."

Upon hearing this, Snow Fog looked at the blood-covered grassland and fell into deep thought.

Report chapter Comments

Ning Shi sat on a mammoth as he checked his gains from the battle.

In this war, a total of 28000 Moon Elf soldiers were killed. Ning Shi and his 5000 servants had killed about 15000.

The rest were killed by the artillery force.

The experience points for each Moon Elf ranged from 2000 to 4000, and the total experience points were as high as 45 million!

!!

Even if the Experience Feedback of the people killed by the servants was only 20%, Ning Shi had gained more than 10 million experience in this war!

[Bloodline warrior has been upgraded to level 13 (6883000/10240000). Spiritual power 1, skill point 1, potential point 1.]

After he had accumulated 2 skill points, he continued to upgrade his basic swordsmanship.

[Basic swordsmanship has been upgraded to level 10. Special master of swordsmanship has been upgraded to legendary swordsmanship. Sword's damage 400%. ]

[Weak sword intent has been upgraded to ordinary sword intent. The sword intent can be released 50 meters away from the body and release invincible sword energy.]

[Basic swordsmanship has been upgraded to level 10. The next level up will require 5 skill points.]

He needed to wait for a while to level up his swordsmanship. The cost-performance ratio of 5 skill points for one level was too low.

His potential points had also reached to 3, and Ning Shi continued to upgrade his bloodline!

[Consumed 3 potential points. Level 4 thundercloud berserk dragon bloodline upgraded to Level 5 thunder-armored berserk dragon bloodline. Physique 1, spiritual power 3. Lightning field (blue) talent has been upgraded to lightning field (gold).]

[Lightning Field (gold): Attacks with penetrating lightning damage. Summon a thundercloud and randomly attack enemies within the lightning field. The thundercloud attack range is five meters and has a strong paralyzing effect.]

[Blade Armor (blue): passive talent, automatically reflects 20% of physical damage.]

After the bloodline was upgraded again, his avatar's stats were as follows:

[Physique: 41 (55)]

[Spiritual power: 24 (45)]

[Appearance: 8 (handsome)]

[Family Background: 5 (ordinary)]

[Talents: learning (blue), violence (purple), undying (blue), lightning field (gold), draconic might (blue), draconic body (blue), blade armor (blue)]

[Achievements: Lord of Duohuang City]

It was another wave of great enhancement, especially after seeing his blade armor's passive talent. Ning Shi felt that he was now an untouchable hedgehog.

In the future, those long-range units with high attack and low health may be killed by the rebound of damage when attacking him.

War was indeed the fastest way to level up. According to the setting of the game system, Ning Shi felt that he might become obsessed with war.

By the time the main force returned to Duohuang, Snow Fog had already made a decision.

"Boss, I've decided to sign a bloodline contract with these Moon Elves and temporarily take them in as slaves to help us build the city walls.

"I will also look into their capabilities, those who performed well could be incorporated into the army."

"With the bloodline contract and brainwashing, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

Ning Shi wasn't surprised by Snow Fog's decision. Hatred could drive people crazy, but it could also control one's desire for blood and keep them rational.

"We still have to be careful when recruiting Moone Eves into the army. After they join the army, they should avoid Moon Elf troops as much as possible and focus on fighting against the human empires."

Snow Fog nodded. She then left to make arrangements for the captured Moon Elves.

In this battle, Snow Fog leveled up 4 times in a row, and her strength was growing rapidly.

After becoming the leader of the Star Elves, she learned a skill that only a leader could learn, the Star Prayer Spell.

Today, her level had increased rapidly. She used her skill points to level up the Star Prayer Spell to Level 5. She could vaguely feel the presence of Starfall, the divine weapon.

Starfall didn't disappear!

It had only escaped into the depth of Nebula.

Previously, a level 3 Star Prayer Spell could be used to communicate with Starfall and release a powerful super spell at a certain price.

Now that Snow Fog's Star Prayer Spell had reached Level 5, it could only vaguely sense the presence of Starfall.

No matter what, as long as she could still sense Starfall, her hope of revenge would be greatly increased!

[Snow Fog's mood suddenly became good. She is very grateful for the character template you have given her. Character Intimacy 5. Current Character Intimacy level is 85.]

Looking at the system prompt, Ning Shi was once again confused. He shook his head and went to check on the construction of the city wall.

Biyue City, the capital of the Moon Elves.

The Moon God Palace was the residence of the Moon Elf royal family and the moon priests.

The Grand Elder of the Moon Elves, Silverdew, was receiving guests in the Crescent Moon Hall.

Silverdew was wearing a silver-white priest's robe and a cylindrical priest's hat. Nine advanced magic cores were embedded in the hat, forming a crescent shape. 𝑛𝑶𝑣ℯ𝑳𝔲𝔰𝑏.𝕔𝐎𝓂

Silverdew was very tall, close to 1.9 meters, which was very rare among female elves. Her facial features were very delicate, and her skin was as white as jade. She was a beauty.

However, her chin was slightly sharp, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, giving people the feeling that she was a calculative and scheming woman. This was a woman who had the desire for power written on her face.

Sitting next to her was a round, short, and fat human male. He was dressed in colorful clothes, and one could tell at a glance that he was an important human noble.

"Jeremy, it's just a battle against Duohuang that only had roughly a thousand people. It's not worth it for our two empires to form an alliance."

"Are you treating this alliance as a game?"

"To tell you the truth, 50000 Moon Elf vanguards have already set off. They should have wiped out all the small fries and taken over Duohuang by now."

Jeremy was the diplomat of the Ole Empire. He had come to the Moon Elves to form an ally with them to attack Duohuang.

Just as he was about to speak, a Moon Elf in black clothing appeared in the hall.

"Lord Silverdew, please take a look at the latest news from Duohuang City!"

Silverdew took the roll of letter and opened it. Her expression suddenly changed and she was shocked.

"That's impossible. The intelligence we received showed that the extreme battle group only had a thousand or so people. How did it reach five thousand today? Moreover, Duohuang held their stand against 50000 troops in a day?"

Silverdew's face was livid. She stared at the writing on the letter without saying a word.

"5000 against 50000. The extreme battle group defeated the Dark Moon Vaguards head-on."

After a long time, she sighed.

"Undying Trump Troop, what a good trump card!"

When Jeremy saw Silverdew's expression, he guessed that the Moon Elves' Dark Moon Vanguards seemed to have been defeated. He was also extremely shocked.

He had come to form an alliance with the Moon Elves not because he was afraid of the extreme battle group, but because he was worried about the Brad Empire behind them.

Now, it seemed that the combat power of the extreme battle group could not be underestimated.

"Lord Silverdew, as far as I know, the leader of the extreme battle group, Ning Shi, has been successfully recruited by the third Prince of the Brad Empire, Alesia. If our countries don't work together, I'm afraid that Duohuang will fall into the hands of the Brad Empire."

"At that time, the initiative of the war will be in Brad Empire's hands. I don't think your supporters would want to see this."

Silverdew already knew that Ning Shi was Alesia's subordinate. She had rejected the alliance before because she felt that she had found a reason to send troops and occupy Duohuang alone.

On one hand, she remembered her old relationship with Joerger and did not want to completely fall out with him.

However, now that her army had suffered a crushing defeat, Silverdew could not accept it if Ning Shi really managed to hold on to Duohuang.

There were no eternal friends or enemies between countries, only eternal interests.

Although the relationship between the Elven Empire and the Brad Empire had been better in the past, this time, at least from the perspective of the Duohuang situation, the elves had to ally with the Ole Empire.

Silverdew acted decisively and immediately said, "Sir Jeremy, please take a seat. I need to consult the Elven King Fashad."

Although Silverdew was only the Grand Elder of the Moon Elves, she was extremely powerful and skilled in political tactics. The current Elven King was completely suppressed by her.

She could make a decision about the alliance with a single word. Telling Jeremy that she would need to ask the Elven King for instructions was only an excuse. She should have gone to ask the big boss behind her.

After all, Ole and the elves had always been mortal enemies. This was the first alliance, so silverdew had to be careful.

Jeremy saw through it but didn't say anything. He just waited quietly.

Ten minutes later, Silverdew walked out from the back of the hall.

"Sir Jeremy, the Moon Elves have agreed to the alliance. We will send out a Full Moon Army of 100000 men and the Chimera Troop of 1000 men to attack Duohuang with the Ole Empire."

"It will take time to mobilize the army, and we still have to redeploy the defense line to deal with the potential situation where the Brad Empire might send in reinforcement."

"Give us five days, and our army will appear on time by the Wangnan River."

A smile appeared on Jeremy's round face.

"Lord Silverdew, you've made a wise decision."

"The Ole Empire will be sending out 200000 soldiers to pass through the Chilly Wind Canyon. In five days, they will appear in the West of the Duohuang. At that time, we will launch an attack together."

"After we take down Duohuang, the elves will take the southern half of the city, and we'll take the northern half. What do you think?"

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

In Rose City, Alesia was listening to the Rose Lady's opera in the Rose Theater when the Lionheart Blade suddenly trembled.

"Alle, our bloodline servants under Moon Elves have sent us a message. The Elven Empire and the Ole Empire have formed an alliance, and they will gather 300000 troops to attack Duohuang."

"Are you going to send reinforcements? Ning Shi defeated the Dark Moon Vanguards head-on. His strength is not ordinary, and he is worth your investment."

"Lionheart, under such circumstances, I don't think anyone from the Brad Empire would dare to send reinforcements."

"If they weren't careful, the situation would turn into a one-on-two battle for the Brad Empire."

"Subduing Ning Shi was still too ostentatious in the end. It should be done in secret."

"If Ning Shi was not my subordinate, perhaps the Ole Empire and the Elven Empire would not have formed an alliance so easily."

"The situation in Duohuang was originally one where the three kingdoms stood at the top. Whoever stood out first would be suppressed by the other two countries. Now, the Brad Empire had been eliminated from the ranks of the three kingdoms."

"You can pass on the information we've gathered to Ning Shi, that's already the best you can do."

Alesia said in his heart and then thought of the beautiful star elf.

"Keep an eye on the situation in Duohuang. At the critical moment, I will save the star elf, Snow Fog. It would be a pity for such a beautiful woman to die."

Lionheart Blade returned to silence. Although it ignored Alesia, it still passed the information to Ning Shi with its ability as a bloodline servant.

52 Shocking News

When Ning Shi returned to Duohuang, it was already 11 o'clock at night. Upon reaching the edge of the city, he found that a large number of slaves were still building the city wall.

Some of the slaves were in charge of mixing the clay, while others were in charge of splitting the clay into pieces and building them into walls.

Each group of slaves was followed by several fire-breathing lizards.

The fire-breathing lizard was an intermediate magical beast that could spit out extremely powerful flames.

After every small portion of the wall was built, the fire-breathing lizards would take turns to spit fire, directly burning the clay wall into a solid brick wall.

The city wall was built very efficiently.

Fox, the old Foxman, introduced, "Including the new Moon Elf captives, we now have a total of 130000 slaves. They're divided into two shifts, and they're building the city walls day and night."

"I divided all the slaves into 1300 engineering teams, each with 100 people. Each team will be equipped with 5 to 10 fire-elemental magical beasts or bloodline warriors with fire-elemental abilities."

"With this division of labor, the wall will be five meters tall and two meters thick. Each team of 100 people can build at least ten meters of wall a day."

Ning Shi nodded. Fox's intelligence was indeed high. He even thought of using magic power to improve the steps of burning bricks. This greatly improved the efficiency of building the city wall.

The city walls of Duohuang were not completely in line with the current streets. Some of them surrounded the city, forming a square on all four sides.

Each wall was 12000 meters long and covered an area of 144 square kilometers, which was half the size of ancient Chang'an. A million people lived in the city.

"At this rate, the city wall will be complete in about four days. Well done, Fox. The wisdom of Foxmen really lives up to their name!"

A smile formed on Fox's wrinkled face. He bowed and said, "The building of the city wall only started successfully because of your knowledge in brick-making. I only did a little."

Ning Shi laughed, "Alright, a merit is a merit. The position of the Minister of Economy and Trade is yours. Tell Elon that the magic core workshop must continue to build magic core cannons with all their might. The more the better. I want at least 50 cannons on every wall!"

"This old man will definitely convey the message."

Ning Shi walked down the city wall in satisfaction. Suddenly, a system notification came.

[Lionheart Blade is sending you a message through the ability of the bloodline servant. Do you accept? Yes or no.]

Ning Shi clicked yes and asked in his heart.

"Didn't Lionheart Blade's bloodline servant contract not take effect?"

[To cover up the existence of the game system, Lionheart blade and avatar still have a basic bloodline servant connection, but there is no contractual relationship that forces it to obey.]

There was even such a feature?

Ning Shi didn't probe further and opened the message.

[The Elven Empire has already formed an alliance with the Ole Empire. They will gather 300000 troops to attack Duohuang. Estimated time of the attack: five days later. The Brad Empire will station their troops at the border and put pressure on the Elven Empire. ]

Ning Shi's expression changed slightly.

An Army of 300 thousand still gave Ning Shi a lot of pressure.

He didn't expect the Ole Empire and the Elven Empire to be so decisive and form an alliance.

The result of this battle would depend on the power of the magic core cannons.

[Main storyline mission 4: defeat the 300000 soldiers of the two allied empires and gain the recognition of the three empires. Become the true overlord of Duohuang.]

The main mission had arrived. Ning Shi felt even more certain that the game system was deliberately guiding him to unify the world.

This cheat code of his seemed to have a special purpose.

[Calling in progress, caller's name is Hao Meng.]

For Hao Meng to call him at such a late time, there must be something urgent, so Ning Shi quickly picked up the call.

"Brother Shitou, you haven't rested yet, have you? Something big has happened. I have to talk to you in person."

"No, I haven't. Do you live in the teachers' dormitory? Should I go find you?"

"I'll go to the principal's dormitory to find you. Give me a moment, about five minutes."

"Alright," he said.

Ning Shi hung up and exited the first-person perspective game.

From noon, they played all the way until late at night, and Ning Shi still hadn't eaten.

He opened the takeaway app. The school was located in a High-tech Development Zone, so there were very few food options to choose from at night.

He could only helplessly play a round of Spraying Warrior and order some fast food.

Five minutes later, the doorbell rang. Ning Shi opened the door, and Hao Meng was standing outside.

She might have just been preparing to rest, but after receiving the urgent news, she rushed to Ning Shi's residence at once.

Hao Meng was wearing a pink camisole nightgown, with an exquisite hook flower on it and a three-dimensional cut on her chest. A pair of snow-white pandas' designs were on the verge of being revealed.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ning Shi's face heat up and he stood up instantly.

"What's the matter, why are you in such a hurry?"

Ning Shi hurried back to the sofa in the room and sat down to hide his embarrassment.

Fortunately, Hao Meng was in a hurry. She closed the door, sat on the left side of Ning Shi, and said directly,

"A world boundary suddenly appeared in Bei Shi Nation. Countless insects whizzed out and swept through one-third of Bei Shi Nation's land in an extremely short time. The death toll reached millions!"

"The insect swarm is still pouring out from the world boundary, heading straight for the capital of the Bei Shi Nation, Kibu."

Ning Shi was shocked, and his tent was quickly extinguished.

Bei Shi Nation was the only developed country in the Shi continent. Once the Bei Shi Nation was destroyed by the insect disaster, the entire Shi continent might be doomed!

The insect disaster was likely to start from the Shi continent and sweep across the world! 𝒩𝗈𝐯𝖊𝔩𝓊𝑠𝚋.𝗰𝗈𝕞

Hao Meng handed her phone to Ning Shi and said, "This is the scene captured by a drone from high above."

Ning Shi took the phone and opened the video.

The video's perspective was from the sky overlooking the Earth. Countless insects formed a black storm, like the big hand of a giant beast. Wherever it passed, not a single blade of grass grew.

The insect disaster entered the city, and people fled in panic like ants. Countless high-rise buildings disappeared in an instant, and the insects ate anything they could see.

The video began to fast forward. A few hours later, a city with a population of hundreds of thousands of people disappeared from the Earth.

The ground was bare as if nothing had ever existed.

The civilized city that humans had spent hundreds of years building was reduced to nothing in just a few hours.

"Gold-eating ants!" Ning Shi said with a serious expression.

Hao Meng nodded, "Yes, these metal-eating ants are relatively easy to deal with in the insect disaster."

"The officials of the Bei Shi Nation have already begun to organize an army to build a defense line in an attempt to resist the insect disaster, but the effect is worrying."

"Except for some powerful countries, the rest of the countries were basically helpless in the face of the insect disaster."

"Even for a powerful country like ours, we have to rely on the terrain of the passageway at the border to defend against the insect disaster. If it was on an infinitely flat terrain, it would be very difficult to build a defense, and we would have to pay with our lives. If you expect the Bei Shi Nation's army to be dedicated, you might as well buy the lottery."

Ning Shi knew that Hao Meng was telling the truth. Right now, many high-level and wealthy people in the Bei Shi Nation had probably already boarded the plane and taken refuge in the Mieln Federation.

In any disaster, the ones who suffered the most were always the ordinary people at the bottom of the rank.

Hao Meng continued, "The world originally discovered a total of six world boundaries of the insect world. Our country has three, the Mieln Federation has one, the Kingdom of Mies has one, and the Black Bear Country has one. These countries happened to be relatively strong, and they barely managed to defend against the insects' attack."

The four countries had signed a confidentiality agreement on the insect disaster and agreed not to disclose the situation of the insect disaster to the public for the time being. After the incident in the Bei Shi Nation, this secret could no longer be kept."

"Soon, the whole world will know that there's a world, full of insects, trying to invade us."

Ning Shi was not surprised by this result. Instead, he pointed out what he found strange regarding the matter. "Based on the direction of public opinion abroad, I didn't expect that the Kingdom of Mies and the Mieln Federation were willing to sign a confidentiality agreement."

"They're willing to keep it a secret for the sake of profit. The corpses of all kinds of insects in the Insect world are a Carnival of biotechnology, and the capital behind them wants to monopolize these interests."

"Now that things can't be kept a secret anymore, it's the military's turn to celebrate."

Ning Shi poured a glass of water and handed it to Hao Meng. "Think about it. It's inevitable for insects to appear in small countries. The first six world boundaries happened to appear on the borders of big countries. Other than the size of the big countries, it's more or less a coincidence."

Hao Meng took a sip of water, her big eyes flashing with a thoughtful light.

"The most important problem now is to figure out as soon as possible whether the Bei Shi Nation's world boundary is a matured world boundary that suddenly appeared or has already appeared for a long time and the Bei Shi Nation has never discovered it."

"This is related to the final conclusion of the research on the boundary. If there really is a world boundary that doesn't need to be formed, things will be difficult to handle."

Ning Shi shook his head and said, "That's a problem, but I personally think that the boundary has already appeared. The Bei Shi Nation didn't notice it, or they didn't take it seriously. You know the style of those foreign officials."

Hao Meng sighed and rubbed her temples with her fair fingers.

"The insect disaster has already entered Saturn. How to defend it will be a tricky problem. The only good news is that the Bei Shi Nation is very far from us."

Ning Shi did not think so. He retorted, "The Bei Shi Nation is indeed very far from us, but there are too many countries around the Yunmeng Kingdom. The stronger ones are the Long Island and the Gaobang Kingdom, while the weaker ones are the small countries in the southeast and the South Sea."

"If any of these small countries had an insect disaster, they could only take it as they are unable to defend themselves."

"By then, the insect disaster will use these small countries as a breakthrough point and invade our country. The consequences will be very serious."

"The only good news now is that our country has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with the insects. We basically understand the weaknesses of the insects and can make targeted defense."

"Brother Shitou, can the university's freshmen tournament be brought forward? You should quickly select some disciples and teach them the extreme body forging technique. First, we can research the simplified version of the body forging technique as soon as possible and increase the strength of the Army as soon as possible. Second, I want to go to the Bei Shi Nation after I finish researching the body forging technique."

Seeing Hao Meng's calm expression, Ning Shi quickly advised, "Mengmeng, the Bei Shi Nation is too dangerous right now. That's not a place to joke around."

"You're just a researcher, you can just work in the rear. Why do you need to rush to the front line?"

Hearing Ning Shi's concern, Hao Meng's big eyes curved into crescents again, and she smiled very happily.

"Brother Shitou, I have to go to the Bei Shi Nation. I've always wanted to study whether the insects' abilities would deteriorate after they entered our world from the insect world."

"From a scientific point of view, the environment of our world can not breed these strange insects. When they come into our world, they will be affected by the changes in the environment and their abilities should degenerate."

"From the perspective of superpowers, every world has its own law of reproduction. The power of the world will suppress outsiders."

"I have to go to the site to study the specific situation of these values."

Ning Shi thought for a moment. "Do you want me to go with you?"

Hao Meng's expression brightened. She wanted to agree, but she held herself back.

"It's alright, Brother Shitou. I'm not as weak as you think. By the way, can I use your extreme body forging technique?"

"I've copied them all for you. You can learn as much as you want, but be careful not to get hurt. The freshmen tournament will start tomorrow. It's an urgent matter, so we can only trouble the teachers and students."

The next morning, Ning Shi gathered all the teachers.

After a night of circulation, the Bei Shi Nation's matter had already been spread all over the internet.

"Teachers, I'm sure everyone has heard about the insect disaster that Bei Shi nation encountered last night. The current situation is grim, so I would like to bring the freshmen tournament forward to today."

"Everyone's teaching plan for today will be suspended."

The teachers in the meeting room whispered, clearly surprised by Ning Shi's urgency, but no one stood up to object.

Ning Shi's prestige as the principal was still very high.

"The reason why the competition is brought forward is that I'll take the top three students as my disciples and teach them the extreme body forging method to strengthen their physique."

"This training method is very dangerous. My energy is limited and I can't teach it to too many people."

"Teacher Hao Meng will work with me to improve the body forging method as I teach it to my disciples. This is so that the danger of the technique is reduced."

"When the time comes, we would also teach the improved version of the cultivation technique to all the teachers present."

"This is related to everyone's future, so I hope that everyone will uphold justice and select the true strength-type geniuses."

"Time is limited. Only students with a punching strength of 750 kg and above can sign up for this competition. I've seen the results of the admission test, and there are about 200 students who have met the requirements."

"Everyone, organize another test for the students today. The results will be the deciding factor."

"There will be four rounds of competition today to determine the top 16. Tomorrow, there will be another four rounds of competition, with the third and fourth place competing together."

Ning Shi explained his arrangements in one breath. The teachers all looked excited.

Almost all of these teachers were masters. They were willing to come here to teach not only because they wanted to contribute to the development of strength-type awakeners, but also because they hoped to learn a thing or two from Ning Shi.

Now that they heard that Ning Shi was willing to impart cultivation methods, these people were all jubilant and worked with great enthusiasm.

In just two hours, all the students' test results were out. A total of 249 people met the conditions for the competition.

The drawing of lots was carried out, and some people would get a bye for the first few rounds. It could only be said that luck was also a part of one's strength.

The school's sports field was divided into eight competition grounds. The competition would officially begin at 1 pm that day.

Eight matches were held at the same time.

As these students had just entered the school, many of them had not mastered many fighting techniques, so they fought in a straightforward manner.

Some of the students were still afraid and didn't dare to attack.

This kind of behavior was understandable. After all, they had been educated to be civilized and polite in the past. Moreover, they had never received long-term combat training. It was indeed not easy for them to fight.

Fortunately, Ning Shi had set a rule that if the match had not been decided after 20 minutes, both sides would be considered to have lost, so each match was carried out very quickly.

Basically, they all ended the battle within 10 minutes.

At 4:00 p.m., The first round of the competition was over. After half an hour of rest, the next round would begin at 4:30 p.m.

Ning Shi was at the competition venue the entire time, observing if there were any more talented seedlings.

Soon, he found a very interesting pair.

A "brawny man" nearly two meters tall with a little girl less than 1.4 meters standing next to him. The contrast was so great that Ning Shi couldn't help but notice.

Ning Shi subconsciously paid attention to the first round of the competition between these two people.

Neither of them had any martial arts foundation, but the little girl was very smart. After the teacher announced the start of the match, she took advantage of her opponent's inattention and punched him.

She was small in size, so she punched her opponent's leg. Her opponent lost his fighting strength on the spot and admitted defeat.

On the other hand, the big guy was extremely simple and honest. He insisted on waiting for his opponent to make the first move. After taking a punch from his opponent, he finally took the initiative and kicked his opponent over.

The two of them had a good relationship and had been standing together to observe their opponents after the match.

Ning Shi had asked the teacher for information on the two.

The little girl's name was Luo Yao, and she was 17 years old this year. Looking at her figure, she didn't look her age at all.

Meanwhile, the boy's name was Jiang Bichao, and he was 15 years old.

Despite their sizes, Luo Yao was older than Jiang Bichao and the two of them came from the same county.

Hong'an County, which was under Huzhou of Changwu City.

The Yunmeng Kingdom's officially recognized Jiangjun County had produced many generals and martyrs. It was an extremely famous County City of Heroes.

Ning Shi discovered that although most of the students did not know how to fight, some of them had a strong martial arts foundation.

Such students had a huge advantage in a fight and would often win.

In fact, it might be fairer to hold the competition a month after the new students entered the school.

However, time waits for no man.

The good thing was that there would be three competitions every semester. As long as one was truly talented and willing to work hard, some students would always stand out.

After watching the first round of the competition, Ning Shi had a general impression of the participating students, so he no longer stared at them.

As it was the school's first major competition, almost all the students had come to watch. The field was either filled with people who were watching the matches while standing or those sitting on the steps. Students were everywhere.

Ning Shi originally wanted to find a step to sit down but realized that there was no place, so he returned to the logistics office and found a chair to sit down.

He had been busy with the competition today and didn't have time to look at his phone.

Ning Shi picked up his phone and entered the game first, finding that the avatar's idle behavior was normal.

The city walls of Duohuang City were gradually being built, and the avatar brought the servant army to the deserted northern plains to farm monsters, on one hand, to gain experience, and on the other hand, to collect more magic cores.

Once the magic core cannons were used, the consumption of magic cores would be huge.

There was no problem with the game, so Ning Shi went online to check the news related to the Bei Shi Nation.

It had been almost 20 hours since the incident last night. The defense line organized by the Bei Shi Nation was completely useless, and the insect swarm was increasing in number.

The Bei Shi Nation was already in complete chaos. The government was completely paralyzed, and the army only existed in name.

Those who had the ability had long fled the country by means of transportation.

Those who could only travel slowly were more miserable.

Looking at the news, several major roads of the Bei Shi Nation had been completely blocked, and a large number of private cars were stuck on the road.

The desperate crowd wantonly smashed, plundered, and shot people in the city.

The flames were burning everywhere, the gunshots never stopped, the screams and cries of humans, the civilization of the city were completely destroyed, and under the extreme disaster, barbarity overwhelmed everything.

It was rare for Yunmeng Nation to not ban these cruel and bloody videos from spreading on the internet.

The government only issued an announcement, briefly introducing the insect disaster and the situation at the border, and repeatedly emphasized that they had the confidence to maintain the stability of the country and the safety of the people.

At the same time, the officials released some videos of the army fighting the insects.

Some of the netizens who had been clamoring on the internet fell silent after seeing the video of the soldiers fighting bravely without fear.

However, there were still some anti-intellectual remarks circulating on the internet.

"The insect disaster is God's punishment for the awakeners. As long as we don't take the awakening potion and drive the awakeners out of the country, the insect disaster will disappear!" 𝗇𝐎𝒱𝓮𝑙𝓊𝒮𝗯.𝓬𝗈𝔪

"The awakeners must have committed a crime in the insect world and provoked a swarm of insects. That's why the insect disaster has appeared!"

"Resist the awakening potion and be a pure human!"

He didn't know if these people had received money from overseas or if they were really stupid.

However, there was still a portion of people who made such comments.

The jealousy and hatred of the ordinary people towards the awakeners had always existed. Such remarks had expanded the opposition.

Apart from those who harbored resentment, most of the people from Yunmeng were in a state of disbelief.

Many people saw the news and could not believe it was true.

In Ning Shi's classmate group, unread messages 99.

"When I woke up, the news of the insect disaster was overwhelming. I felt like I had returned from civilization to the wilderness." Attached to the message was an image of a weak, helpless, and pitiful person.

"Students, is there anyone who can analyze if the insects will cross the ocean to see us? Doge.jpg."

"I'm envious of the students who can take the awakening potion. I can't afford it at 500000 a bottle."

"I feel like I don't need to take out a loan to buy a house in the future. I can just take out a loan to buy the potion. Society is in chaos. Houses can no longer bring me a sense of security. Only superpowers can."

The price of the awakening potion had not dropped yet, but Ning Shi felt that it would soon.

Whether it was the public's desire for superpowers or the ordinary people's jealousy of the awakeners, this wave of emotions was in place.

As expected, at 7 p.m., When the third round of the student competition began, the officials announced the price reduction on all major media platforms.

In addition to announcing that the price of the awakening potion had dropped from 500000 per bottle to 500, the officials had also given a detailed guide to the consumption of the potion.

What should be done before taking the potion, what group of people were prohibited from taking the potion, how many times the potion could be taken, and the interval period between taking the medicine were all listed in detail.

The purchase of the awakening potion was even included in the National Health Insurance.

The officials' actions won the hearts of the people.

"I'm grateful to the country and to Scientist H for letting me have a taste of superpowers."

These were the words of a middle-aged man who had taken the awakening potion.

"Although I didn't succeed in awakening the first time I took the potion, I still have at least 9 chances. I believe in myself and I will definitely succeed!"

This was a confession of an ordinary person.

"From now on, I'm going to quit sex. I'm going to exercise. I heard that the better the body, the higher the probability of awakening."

The nonsense of a civilian scientist.

In any case, in Yunmeng Kingdom, the fear brought about by the insect disaster had been washed away by a lot.

Sometimes, people were not afraid of disaster, but they were more afraid of the lack of hope.

Now that there was a sufficient supply of the awakening potion, everyone had the opportunity to become an Awakener. Under such an excited mood, the insect plague did not seem to be that scary anymore.

Although most people did not know if they could fight against the insects after becoming awakeners, to the current them, it was most important to have hope.

It was truly a time of great suffering abroad, but it was peaceful at home.

At 9 p.m., the day's matches were all over, and the top 16 had been decided.

Ning Shi took a look at the list. Luo Yao and Jiang Bichao had both entered the top 16.

He would have disciples starting tomorrow.

According to the traditional saying in the martial arts world, a teacher for a day was a father for life. In ancient times, the relationship between master and disciple was even closer than that between father and son.

Of course, in modern society, this kind of situation was almost non-existent.

However, now that everyone had awakened, everything seemed to have returned to the past.

Report chapter Comments

The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Ning Shi got up at 6:30 A.M.

After washing up, he walked slowly to the school cafeteria.

The number one school of strength had more students, and its area was larger than many comprehensive universities.

The school was located near a mountain and a lake. The terrain of the campus also varied. Many of the trees on the main road were newly planted, but there were also many trees that had originally been on the mountain. 𝐧𝒪𝔳𝔢𝗅𝒰𝗌𝑏.𝑐𝗈𝓂

These old trees were at least ten years old, with deep roots and luxuriant leaves, growing without restraint.

Walking on the tree-lined path, smelling the scent of the plants and trees, and listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the morning, Ning Shi's heart was at peace, as if he had returned to his school days.

At that time, he was in the prime of his life. He was occasionally sentimental, but more often than not, he was lost in the uncertainties of the future.

Passing by the Xinyuan sports field, Ning Shi found that there were many students practicing early in the morning.

Three days after entering the school, the teachers had already begun teaching basic cultivation techniques such as standing stance.

The diligent students got into their positions in twos and threes and practiced their stances.

The morning sun shone on their young faces, full of vitality and vigor as if they were filled with infinite hope.

Ning Shi glanced around and saw that the duo of Luo Yao and Jiang Bichao was also among them.

The two of them were practicing the stationary stance of Bajiquan.

The two of them were already sweating. It was clear that they had been training for a while.

According to Master Li's teaching method, when students practiced Bajiquan, they had to first practice the stationary stance, then the moving stance. Only after both stances had reached the entry-level could they learn the Bajiquan.

This was because Bajiquan was extremely powerful and had high requirements for stability. If one did not practice post-standing well, their fighting stance would be useless.

Ning Shi watched for a while but did not disturb the students. He quietly left for the cafeteria to eat.

"Principal Ning, this is meat bun, this is beef rice noodle, and the soybean milk is on your right. Do you think this is enough? If it's not enough, you can call me at any time."

When the principal came to the canteen, the canteen staff was very respectful and insisted on personally delivering the food to the table. Ning Shi deeply felt the charm of his power and authority.

However, he didn't like this.

"That's enough. Thank you, Chef Wang. I'm only here to eat. You can go back to work. The students are coming in one after another. I don't want to delay your work."

Ning Shi had always maintained respect for the staff at the bottom rank.

After Chef Wang left, Ning Shi took a mouthful of noodles, then grabbed the meat bun and took a big bite.

The vermicelli was refreshing, sour and spicy, appetizing, the meat bun had a thin skin and a lot of juicy meat filling.

The food in the canteen was really not bad. Ning Shi could not help but nod.

"What do you think, Advisor Ning? Are you satisfied with the food in the canteen? We've specially assigned a group of star-level chefs to cook at the first strength school."

A voice came. Ning Shi didn't look up and continued to eat.

From the voice, he knew that it was Yun Moxiang, whom he had not seen for two days.

"The official arrangement is very good and thoughtful. However, the nutritional values of the meals are more important. The taste and so on are just additional."

Strength-type awakeners had to eat well and train their bodies at a high intensity. If they did not have enough nutrients, their bodies would suffer.

As Ning Shi spoke, he lowered his head to eat.

After seeing Hao Meng's figure last time, Yun Moxiang thought that Ning Shi liked women with large chests.

She was wearing a low-cut knitted shirt with a spaghetti strap today. It was paired with a shiny platinum necklace, and it made people subconsciously want to look at her chest.

Although Yun Moxiang's chests weren't large, they were the type that could create gullies if they were packed together.

Along the way, whether it was the students or the teachers, they all kept looking at her.

Who knew that after Ning Shi heard her voice, he didn't even raise his head and just buried his head in his food!

Yun Moxiang gritted her teeth and deliberately said, "This is the students' information report that you wanted. It's in my hands. If you want to see it, take it from me.

Ning Shi was a little hungry. He gave the food the highest respect and focused on tasting the food.

"Put it on the table. I'll look at it later."

Yun Moxiang was speechless.

Ning Shi didn't notice Yun Moxiang's anger. He ate his breakfast seriously, and after ten minutes, he finished the last cup of soy milk.

Touching his slightly bulging belly, Ning Shi let out a satisfied sigh.

"Eh? Miss Yun, why are you still here? You can just put the document on the table. You don't have to wait for me."

"By the way, have you eaten yet? If you haven't, you can eat in the canteen. The food made by a star chef is so delicious!"

Yun Moxiang's face was expressionless. She tried her best to resist the urge to turn around and leave as she coldly said.

"The information is related to a student's privacy. I'll take it away after you're done."

After she finished speaking, she handed over the document.

Ning Shi raised his head for the first time and saw Yun Moxiang's outfit. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Yun Moxiang was indeed a first-class beauty. Whether it was her face, figure, or skin, there was nothing to pick on.

Seeing that Ning Shi's eyes were also looking at her chest, Yun Moxiang was instantly smug. At the same time, she was even more certain that Ning Shi liked women with large chests.

Ning Shi retracted his gaze, took the information, and said seriously, "Miss Yun, I understand that women love to look pretty, but we're in school, so I hope you'll pay attention to the way you dress."

"This is too revealing and sexy. It's not appropriate to be worn on campus."

Despite dressing up deliberately for him, she had been taught a lesson instead.

Yun Moxiang couldn't help but mock silently, having lost the tactfulness and alertness that she had honed from years of official work.

"You're just a sanctimonious hypocrite. You say that you don't like my exposure, but your body is very honest and your eyes keep glancing at me."

Ning Shi was rendered speechless. He could not understand Yun Moxiang's actions.

"This is a reaction that any normal man would have. There are so many male students in the school, and they're all hot-blooded teenagers. Do you think it's a good idea for them to look at you in such a way?"

Yun Moxiang's expression froze. She only wanted Ning Shi to pay attention to her and had not thought of anything else. Hearing Ning Shi's words, she felt that she was in the wrong.

However, women would not be reasonable when they were in a heated quarrel, so she replied stubbornly.

"It's my freedom to wear whatever I want. Although I'm your liaison, you have no right to question my style."

The two of them argued for a while and had already attracted the attention of many students.

In order to avoid any negative influence, Ning Shi took the materials and walked out of the cafeteria.

Yun Moxiang, who was following behind him, calmed her emotions and said coldly.

"All of Luo Yao's and Jiang Bichao's information is in the file. These two students entered the school through a special passage, not because of the test ranking."

Ning Shi frowned. "That's impossible. The power of both their punches ranks among the top of the school. How can they take the special passage? "

The term 'special passage' was referring to the 1000 enrollment spots left for the poor and those from underdeveloped areas.

Although Hong'an County, where Luo Yao and Jiang Bichao were from, was not rich, it was not poor either.

"There were a total of 112 students in the school. They were specially recommended by the military department. No matter what their test results are, they will be directly exempted from the test and admitted into the school. These people are the children of martyrs."

At this point, Yun Moxiang had forgotten about her earlier unhappiness, and her tone was slightly heavy.

"Luo Yao's parents were both veterans who joined the army when they were 18 years old. After the insect disaster, they were transferred to the 2nd Army of the northern border to defend against the insect attack in the northern border."

"When the magma worm first appeared, Luo Yao's father had died in battle, and not even his corpse was left behind. When the thunder moth appeared, her mother also sacrificed herself heroically. You should have seen the relevant videos."

"As for Jiang Bichao, his mother was a law enforcer. She had been awarded second-class merit many times and first-class merit twice. According to her merit, she could have been a leader in management a long time ago."

"However, she refused to be promoted and had always been the captain of The Forbidden Team, sticking to the front line."

"In a gunfight with a drug dealer from the southeast corner, she was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet while trying to save a child and died on the spot."

They were both children of heroes. Ning Shi was filled with deep veneration. It was because there were so many ordinary and extraordinary heroes protecting Yunmeng Kingdom that Yunmeng Kingdom could withstand the wind and rain for five thousand years and not fall.

"Add more slots to the special passage. Give me the names of the 112 children of the martyrs. I'll take special care of them."

Ning Shi planned to give priority to the children of martyrs to provide strength potions and cultivation resources.

He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with giving preferential treatment to the children of martyrs. Even if it would cause unfairness, it was what they deserved.

Yun Moxiang's report contained information on all the top 16 students in this competition. Everything was listed very clearly.

For example, Luo Yao hated it when people called her a child. Due to her short stature, she especially liked big things. Since she was young, she had been a girl with extraordinary strength, but she was very kind and had a tabby cat at home.

As her parents were soldiers, she was raised by her grandmother.

Her grandma opened a breakfast stall that sold tofu pudding. Luo Yao had been helping her grandma with her chores since she was 6 years old, and she started selling tofu pudding with her grandma.

At the end of the information, there was a special note that stated, "Luo Yao is very satisfied with herself being a strength-type awakener and especially admires Principal Ning Shi. There are posters and newspaper decorations of Principal Ning in her dormitory."

Ning Shi was a little proud of himself for getting a little fangirl so quickly.

Jiang Bichao's background was very shocking. He was the son of the director of the Investigation Department, Jiang Yunsheng!

Seeing Ning Shi's confused look, Yun Moxiang explained, "Because of the special nature of director Jiang Yunsheng's work, the specific details of his work have always been kept secret from his family, so his wife, Jiang Yingmei, has always misunderstood him. She thought that he did not do any actual work and that he was always trying to get promoted."

"In addition, both of them had strong personalities, so they eventually divorced."

"Jiang Bichao had taken his mother's last name, so the name Bichao meant that he had to surpass director Jiang."

"After Jiang Yingmei's death, Director Jiang went to the southeast corner and single-handedly destroyed the stronghold of the lone owl. However, as he acted too rashly, he was almost beaten to death by the awakener in the southeast corner."

"Even though he eventually returned to the country, he was seriously injured. His strength has been stuck at Level 8 for more than ten years, and there is no hope of him reaching level 9 in this life."

Ning Shi sighed. Before the National Awakening, the Investigation Department's work was a level one state secret, and it must not be disclosed. Jiang Yunsheng followed the organization's discipline, even if his wife misunderstood, he never explained.

If he was in Jiang Yunsheng's shoes, Ning Shi felt that he might not be able to do what Jiang Yunsheng did.

Yun Moxiang continued, "Jiang Bichao's prejudice against Director Jiang is very deep. His father and son relationship is very bad. He is under the influence of his mother, Jiang Bichao, whose biggest wish is to surpass his father's achievements and career."

Ning Shi nodded. Jiang Bichao was very talented. He was the youngest among the top 16 students, only 15 years old.

The data recorded an analysis of Jiang Bichao's personality.

"Jiang Bichao may look simple and honest on the outside, but he's actually a very meticulous person with strong logical thinking. He's also very mature."

"As he had seen Luo Yao's talent, he had deliberately befriended her and nine of the top 16 students, who are now his good friends."

"The way he does things is very purposeful. You need to pay special attention and guidance to him to avoid going astray."

Ning Shi nodded. Jiang Bichao's personality was not a bad thing. Strength-type awakeners also needed to know how to use their brains. It was not scary to have a purpose, but it was scary to have no brain.

Ning Shi believed that a hero's child would be influenced by the hero's temperament. Under his guidance, Jiang Bichao would definitely have a stage to show off his ability.

Report chapter Comments

After reading all the students' information, Ning Shi returned the file to Yun Moxiang.

Yun Moxiang was still angry about the earlier matter and left without a word.

At 9:30 A.M., the freshmen tournament's fifth round of competition was about to begin.

In order to create an atmosphere of competition and to set off the martial spirit in the school, a temporary arena had been built on the Pangu field today.

!!

The competition would no longer be held at the same time, and every match would receive the attention of the entire school.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the competition for the top 16 officially began.

Jiang Bichao went up for the first round. Most fights between students were very monotonous. After exchanging a few moves, Jiang Bichao punched his opponent's chest.

The other party lost their combat ability instantly. 𝗇𝑂𝑣𝑬𝓵𝓊𝑠𝐛.𝒞𝐎𝓂

With the reminder from the official investigation he read earlier, Ning Shi looked at Jiang Bichao's battle again and discovered his plan.

Jiang Bichao was extremely tall. He was almost two meters tall. Although he could exert explosive force, he was lacking in movement speed and flexibility. Therefore, his strategy was to strike after the opponent attacked.

Every time, he would deliberately expose his flaws to his opponent. After taking a blow from his opponent, he would take advantage of the moment when his opponent's moves were used up to give a strike that was as fast as lightning. With that, he won in a single strike.

Compared to Jiang Bichao, Luo Yao's fighting style was much purer. She relied on her strength to bully others. Her opponent was a male student who was 1.85 meters tall.

She grabbed his arm and pulled him into the air. He spun a few times before he finally fell out of the ring.

Ning Shi checked yesterday's punching strength test results. Luo Yao's punching strength was ranked first among all the students, reaching a terrifying 2000kg.

This was her result without mastering the force-exerting technique. If she had learned martial arts techniques, she would definitely be able to punch with more than 3000kg of force.

Or even more.

In terms of strength alone, she was not inferior to many Tier 3 strength-type awakeners.

An extremely petite body and an extremely terrifying strength. The two were combined into one person.

The extreme tension and contrast made Luo Yao quickly become a celebrity student.

Many of her classmates had fallen in love with her. Even her good friend, Jiang Bichao, had gained more attention.

All in all, the freshmen's tournament still lacked techniques and highlights. In the end, Luo Yao won the championship with her monstrous strength.

Jiang Bichao lost in the quarter-finals to Zong Shangren, a handsome rich kid.

Fortunately, Jiang Bichao won the third and fourth place match and took third place.

At the end of the competition, Ning Shi, as the principal, issued urgently made certificates of honor to the top three students.

During the award ceremony, Luo Yao even made a fool of herself.

The little girl was too excited. She stared at Ning Shi with a red face and turned a blind eye to the certificate Ning Shi handed over.

The whole Hall burst into laughter.

The moment Luo Yao came back to her senses, she wanted to find a hole and hide in it. The first time she met her idol, she almost fainted on the spot.

After the award ceremony, Ning Shi said to the whole school,

"Congratulations to Luo Yao, Zong Shangren, and Jiang Bichao for being the top three in this competition. I hereby announce that these three students will become my disciples."

"In the future, the students who perform well in the student competition will receive better training and more resources!"

Ning Shi's words ignited the students' passion, and a new round of martial arts practice began.

"You three, come with me!"

Ning Shi said to Luo Yao and the other two.

The three of them were intoxicated by the unexpected surprise, especially Luo Yao. She never thought that she would become Principal Ning's disciple!

Ning Shi brought his three disciples into the multi-functional training room.

In the training room, there were all kinds of training equipment and devices that had already checked each of their body's data.

Hao Meng had already set up all the equipment. When she saw the four of them come in, she greeted Ning Shi and asked Luo Yao,

"Student Luo Yao, when did your strength start to increase?"

Other than being a little nervous in front of Ning Shi, Luo Yao was usually an open-minded person.

"I don't remember the exact time, but I think I was around 8 years old. At that time, grandma was old and couldn't carry the load of tofu pudding. I thought it would be great if I could help her."

"I tried to carry the load, but I didn't expect to be able to easily lift the two wooden buckets filled with tofu pudding. From then on, I've been helping Grandma carry the load."

"Because of this, grandma has always blamed herself, saying that I can't grow tall because of the burden. You know, I grew especially fast when I was young and was taller than everyone else. I was 1.4 meters tall when I was 8 years old."

Hao Meng shook her head. "An appropriate amount of weight won't affect your growth. You can't grow taller probably because of your nutrition. Did you not eat enough when you were young?"

Luo Yao's face showed a trace of embarrassment. She glanced at Ning Shi and whispered,

"Yes, my parents passed away a long time ago. My family's financial condition was average, and my grandma didn't starve me. It's just that I have a big appetite. I've already eaten twice the amount of food of children my age, but I still can't fill my stomach."

"So you've been enduring your hunger?" Ning Shi couldn't help but ask.

Luo Yao nodded her head lightly, "Yes, it was very hard at first, but as time went on, I got used to it."

Children of the poor take care of themselves early. Ning Shi looked at Luo Yao with admiration. She was too sensible.

She had been helping her grandmother with chores since she was young. In order to reduce her grandmother's burden, she had even endured her hunger.

Hao Meng was holding a tablet in her hand and recording with an electronic pen as she said, "You should have awakened naturally when you were very young. As a strength-type awakener, your appetite will increase greatly after awakening. The better the talent of the awakener, the greater the increase in appetite."

"To a certain extent, the more you eat, the stronger you are."

Ning Shi immediately asked, "This isn't right, is it? I've seen Luo Yao's file. She was awakened after taking the awakening potion, so there should be a reaction to the 'Luo' substance in her body. We can try testing it out on the specialized paper."

The reason why Ning Shi quickly retorted was that this concerned Luo Yao's qualification to participate in the World Young Awakener Fighting Tournament. If Luo Yao had awakened naturally, she would not be able to participate in the world tournament.

Even if she couldn't participate in the competition, Ning Shi would still take Luo Yao as his disciple. However, he would feel regretful that his student didn't have a stage to show off.

Hao Meng didn't answer. She took out a blood syringe and said to Luo Yao, "I need to draw some blood to test the reaction of the 'Luo' substance. Is that okay?".

Luo Yao nodded. She found a place to sit down and placed her thin, pale, yellow arm on the table.

Hao Meng's actions were very swift. She drew a little blood, took out a testing paper the size of a middle finger, and explained.

"The surface of this test strip is covered in lead powder. The 'Luo' substance has a special characteristic. After leaving the human body, the 'Luo' will deteriorate. When the deteriorated 'Luo' comes into contact with the lead powder, a chemical reaction will occur, producing a great amount of heat."

"If student Luo Yao's body has a reaction to the 'Luo' substance, this test paper will burn after coming into contact with her blood."

After saying that, Hao Meng dipped one end of the test paper into the blood.

In an instant, smoke rose and the test paper began to burn. The faint purple flame shook.

Hao Meng had already expected this outcome. She turned around and looked at Luo Yao with an interested expression, which made Luo Yao's hair stand on end.

Ning Shi knew that Hao Meng's occupational disease was acting up. Big shots in scientific research always wanted to study new phenomena.

He coughed and touched his nose, saying, "According to the reaction of the 'Luo' substance, Luo Yao did indeed awaken after drinking the drug."

Hao Meng didn't answer Ning Shi directly, but asked Luo Yao, "How much do your grandma's tofu pudding and wooden bucket weigh?"

Luo Yao shook her head. "I haven't measured it specifically. Grandma's tofu pudding is very delicious, and her business is very good. That's why the wooden bucket is bigger. The wooden bucket is about 70 to 80 centimeters high, and the diameter is this big."

Luo Yao gestured with her hands to indicate a distance of over a meter.

Ning Shi immediately understood Hao Meng's meaning. Such a large wooden bucket and there were two of them. The weight was estimated to be more than a hundred kilograms.

An 8-year-old child lifting a 60 kg heavy object with such ease, exceeded the limits of the human body.

Hao Meng continued, "Generally speaking, an 8-year-old child can lift a 5 to 10 kg weight. Luo Yao's strength has already exceeded the limits of an ordinary person."

"The reason why I kept asking her about this was that her current strength has also exceeded the strength limits of ordinary awakeners."

"For strength-type awakeners, their physical fitness will increase rapidly within two weeks of awakening. After two weeks, the growth will slow down and they will enter a bottleneck period."

"According to the previous records, the one with the greatest increase in strength was Wu Si from the Black Bear Kingdom. His fist strength had reached 1200kg."

"What was worth mentioning was that Wu Si was a boxer himself. He had a good body and knew how to exert force."

"Since Luo Yao's awakening until now, in about two weeks 'time, she had already achieved a punching force of 2000kg. What kind of concept was this?"

"Brother Shitou, think about it. Those who can enter our school are the most talented young strength-type metahumans in the country. Out of more than six million people, 5000 of them were selected to enter our school."

"During yesterday's test, only 249 people had a punching force of 750kg and above."

"With this comparison, you'll know how abnormal Luo Yao's strength growth is."

It had to be said that as a big shot in scientific research, Hao Meng was very sensitive to data. When Ning Shi saw Luo Yao's fist strength, he would only think that she was gifted, but Hao Meng could detect the difference.

Hao Meng looked at Luo Yao, who was a little nervous from her words and smiled.

"Luo Yao, don't be nervous. With Principal Ning Shi here, no one will dare to hurt you. According to my speculations, you should be the first person who had awakened twice in the history of human awakeners."

"When you were very young, you naturally awakened once."

"Due to insufficient nutrition, your body has been in a state of insatiable hunger for a long time. After taking the awakening potion, your hungry body absorbed the medicinal effects of the awakening potion, and by chance, you underwent a second awakening."

"That's why your power is so abnormal."

Luo Yao shook her head, "I'm very strong, but compared to the principal, I'm not worth mentioning. Miss Hao Meng, you saw the principal's performance at the opening ceremony, right?"

"He lifted a 30-ton bus so easily. He's so strong!"

Luo Yao complimented Ning Shi, and Hao Meng laughed happily. The distance between the two of them was shortened.

"Brother Shitou's strength has already reached Tier 8. He's the strongest person on Saturn. You can't compare to him."

"Excluding a few talented individuals, strength-type Awakeners could achieve a punching force of 400kg to 1000kg after two weeks of awakening. This was the normal value of a Tier 1 strength-type Awakener."

"Like other types of awakeners, a Tier 1 strength-type awakener's body would also be exhausted after using the explosive increase in strength."

"After reaching Tier 2, one's punching power would range from 1500kg to 2000kg. The body would have adapted to the increase in strength and could use great strength at any time."

"After entering Tier 3, your fist strength will increase to between 2500kg to 3000kg. Most of them have already mastered a powerful force-exerting martial art technique. The best among them can burst out more than twice their body's strength for a short period of time."

Hao Meng put away the tablet and specially reminded her, "Fist strength is only one of the key factors in a battle. Body speed, reaction, flexibility, and other qualities are all very important."

"Luo Yao, I'll focus on monitoring your growth and recording the special traits of a second Awakener."

Meanwhile, Ning Shi's focus was very strange. He asked Hao Meng.

"Now that Luo Yao's body has awakened for the second time, if she continues to take in sufficient nutrients from now on, will she still be able to grow taller?"

Ning Shi, who had read Luo Yao's information, knew that Luo Yao had always felt inferior because of her height.

Hao Meng could feel Ning Shi's kindness, but she wasn't sure.

"Before Luo Yao, there has never been anyone who has undergone a second awakening, so everything is unknown."

"From a scientific point of view, every awakening was an opportunity for the body to evolve. In theory, as long as she had enough nutrition, she should be able to grow taller."

"It's just that I can't say the exact value."

Hearing Hao Meng's words, Luo Yao's eyes lit up and she immediately hugged Hao Meng's arm.

"Miss Hao Meng, I want to grow taller! Don't worry, I'll cooperate with your research. As long as I can grow taller, I'll do anything you want!"

After talking about Luo Yao, Ning Shi's expression became serious as he slowly said, "Next, I'll teach you guys the extreme body forging method. This technique can quickly improve your physical fitness, but the process of cultivation is extremely painful. If you're not careful, there's a risk of your body being disabled."

"I hope you'll consider it carefully. If you don't want to learn it, you can withdraw now. Once you learn my cultivation method, you'll be in a situation where you can't retreat."

"In the future, if you want to give up halfway or commit misconduct or crime, I'm not as kind as I look on the surface."

Ning Shi no longer restrained himself. He released both his killing aura and draconic might at the same time. 𝑵𝗈𝗏𝓮𝑳𝓊𝗌𝕓.𝐂𝒐𝓂

!!

The three students' faces turned pale, and they trembled.

"I-I'm willing to learn the extreme body forging method. I'll bear all the risks myself. I won't blame or hate my teacher."

Jiang Bichao was the first to overcome his fear and said loudly.

Luo Yao was shocked by Ning Shi's imposing manner, and the admiration in her heart grew even stronger, even changing the way she addressed him.

"Master, don't worry. I will definitely not break the rules. I will definitely help you bring the strength type to greater heights!"

Zong Shangren recovered from his shock, his eyes shining with excitement as he followed.

"I'm also willing to learn!"

Ning Shi nodded in satisfaction. He took out the clothes he had prepared in advance and placed them on the table.

"Here are three weight suits, each carrying 50 kg. Put them on. Do wear this sports monitoring watch too."

"After that, go to the field and run as fast as you can. You must keep running at the fastest speed until you are exhausted and reach your limit!"

The reason why it was named the extreme body forging method was that it could help some people break through their limits. On the other hand, it had to be cultivated in an extreme state.

Before practicing the extreme body forging method, one had to think of ways to torture themselves so that their body would reach its limit.

Then, under extreme conditions.

One would walk forward step by step.

If one took a big step, it was very likely that one had exceeded their limit too much, and the lightest consequence would be disability, and the heaviest would be death.

There were three steps to the extreme body forging method. The first step was to limit one's physical fitness. Under the limits of one's physical fitness, one would undergo targeted training for strength, speed, and reaction ability.

The second step was to reach the limit of pain. One would treat their body as a piece of rough iron and use all kinds of painful methods to hammer it, greatly increasing their body's recovery ability and resistance.

The third step was to simulate the limits. After reaching this step, one would have completely mastered the extreme body forging method. One's body would be able to simulate the limits and cultivate to improve one's physique.

Naturally, Luo Yao and the other two started from their physical limits.

Ning Shi stood at the side of the field and calculated the fastest speed of the three people when they first started running.

The three of them were wearing 50 kg weights and sprinted as fast as they could. In less than two minutes, Jiang Bichao's speed had slowed down.

He wanted to continue sprinting, but his body couldn't help but slow down.

Ning Shi flashed to his back and quickly hit many acupuncture points on his body.

Jiang Bichao felt full of energy and continued to sprint forward.

After a while, Zong Shangren also slowed down. Ning Shi hit his acupuncture points, and Zong Shangren charged up again, running madly again.

This repeated over and over again. Every time they felt that they had no more strength, Ning Shi would use the extreme body forging method to stimulate their potential.

After the third time, Jiang Bichao's body seemed to have been cut off from his power source as he continued running and fell to the ground.

He felt like he was seeing stars, his throat was dry, and even breathing was difficult.

He only felt his entire body go soft and sore, unable to gather any strength.

All of his strength had been squeezed dry by Ning Shi using a special technique.

"You can't rest. Quickly listen to my orders and cultivate! Get into your first strength training form!"

Ning Shi was like a demon, whipping him without mercy.

Jiang Bichao stood up shakily and followed Ning Shi's instructions.

He drew the bow with both hands, his feet as wide as his shoulders, and his knees were sometimes bent and sometimes upright.

His body moved up and down as he shot the arrow.

Under normal circumstances, this set of movements would be effortless, but when one's physical strength had reached its limit, it was difficult to even move one's fingers.

It was extremely difficult to do this set of movements. Even though Jiang Bichao had the breathing technique to adjust his thoughts, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.

His entire body felt like it was being cut by a knife. That was a signal from his body that if he continued to train, he might overload and be in danger.

He wanted to give up, but he thought of his mother's beautiful face and her words.

"Definitely! When you grow up, you have to learn your skills and make a career out of them. You have to surpass your hypocritical father and let him see what a real man should be like!"

At the thought of this, he gritted his teeth and meticulously completed the movements of the strength training form.

By the time Jiang Bichao and Zong Shangren had started to practice their strength training form, Luo Yao's speed had slowed down for the first time. She was indeed a genius of the second awakening, her endurance was extremely strong.

Under the stimulation of the body forging method, Luo Yao sprinted at full speed for over 10 minutes before she was completely exhausted.

Ning Shi then taught Luo Yao the strength training method step by step.

He had thought that on the first day of practicing the extreme body forging technique, one of the three would not be able to withstand it. He did not expect to meet three ruthless students who completed the training meticulously even in the extreme state.

After the three of them entered the state of cultivation, Ning Shi's phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and took a look.

The game actually had a pop-up.

[The main body has accepted three disciples. The master-disciple system has been activated. Please go and take a look.]

Ning Shi remained calm and said to Hao Meng, "Mengmeng, they've already entered a deep meditative state, so they shouldn't be in any danger. Help me look after them. I'll settle something and come back immediately."

"Okay, brother Shitou, you can go now. I've already mastered the body forging technique. They won't be in danger with me around."

Ning Shi walked to the corner of the field and took out his phone to tap on the game icon. After entering the game, an icon appeared in the upper right corner and kept flashing.

The icon was a figure kneeling in front of another person as if it was paying respects to a master.

Ning Shi tapped in.

The images of his three disciples were arranged in three rows and appeared on the screen.

[First disciple, Luo Yao/Inner thoughts/skill impartation.]

[Second disciple Zong Shangren/Inner thoughts/skill impartation.]

[Third disciple, Jiang Bichao/Inner thoughts/skill impartation.]

He clicked on the [Inner thoughts] and [skill impartation, and the following prompt appeared.

[Inner thoughts: as a teacher, you must understand the thoughts of your disciple. When this function is activated, you can hear the voice of your disciple's heart.]

[Skill impartation: imparting skills is the most basic responsibility of a teacher. By paying a certain amount of reputation points, you can directly upgrade the skill level of your disciple. Note: the skill must be a skill mastered by the master. The skill level of the disciple can not exceed the master's skill level.]

Seeing this introduction, Ning Shi was both surprised and happy.

He was shocked that the game system's interference in reality seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Previously, it was only the formulas and cultivation techniques that were effective, but now it could directly affect others.

He was happy that with the master-disciple system module, Luo Yao and the other two would definitely make rapid progress, and their chances of winning the World Young Awakener Fighting tournament would increase again.

At that time, he would bring his disciples to beat up the Kingdom of Mies and the Mieln Federation, raising the prestige of his country!

Ning Shi activated "Inner thoughts" and walked back to the center of the field.

It just so happened that his three disciples had completed a round of cultivation. Ning Shi took out three bottles of strength potion and gave them to them.

"Master, What is this? It looks like laundry detergent."

Luo Yao was covered in sweat, and even her hair was soaked in sweat. Her hair stuck to her ruddy face, making her look a little more playful and cute.

Even though she was exhausted, her eyes were still bright. She was the first to ask when she saw the strength potion.

"This is a stamina potion invented by Teacher Hao Meng. It's mixed with the energy of spiritual crystals. After taking it, it can quickly restore your physical strength and enhance your physical fitness."

After Ning Shi's explanation, the three of them were all in shock.

[ Luo Yao: as expected of master, he even has something as magical as the strength potion. Master, my eternal idol! How can my master be so handsome? Oh no, I can't look at him anymore, or I'll fall in love with him again.]

Ning Shi suddenly regretted turning on the function of listening to Luo Yao's thoughts. What kind of messy things was Luo Yao thinking about? That was so awkward.

[Jiang Bichao: master is the real master. He could even subdue someone as powerful as Teacher Hao Meng. He's much stronger than my hypocritical father. Yes, I have decided. I would surpass Jiang Yunsheng first, and then my master. Senior Sister Luo is too amazing. Fortunately, I have built a good relationship with Senior Brother Zong in advance. Senior Brother Zong is also very strong and has a good family background, so we must be on good terms. My fellow martial siblings will be my network resources in the future.]

As expected, Jiang Bichao's maturity was frightening. His thoughts were also a little complicated.

Ning Shi did not dislike it. As long as he did not do bad things and stuck to his principles and bottom line, Jiang Bichao's behavior was considered to be motivated, although he was a little utilitarian.

[Zong Shangren: strength potion, and this magical thing, it's so interesting. Joining the first school of strength was the best decision I've ever made. Everything here is exciting, much more interesting than the extreme sports I play.]

Zong Shangren was a rich second generation who liked to seek excitement and fun.

The game system was right. By listening to one's inner thoughts, one could understand one's disciple's personality and needs, and make targeted training.

As for skills impartation, Ning Shi didn't use it for the time being. After all, Hao Meng had been observing and recording the changes in the data of his three disciples. There were many things that couldn't be explained if he were to teach them skills at this time.

Ning Shi suddenly had an idea. Since the game system could accept disciples in reality, what would happen if he used the insight technique?

He operated from a third person's perspective, clicked on [Insight technique, and entered [Insight target: Hao Meng].

[The current game system is version 2.0, and you can not use the insight technique in the real world. Please explore it yourself after the system updates to version 3.0.]

According to the game prompt, he would be able to use the insight technique in real life after leveling up again.

At that time, wouldn't he be able to turn reality into a game?

Ning Shi suddenly felt unreal. He wondered if he was living in a virtual data world like the movies "The Matrix " or "Hacker of Another Dimension".

Could the prophecies of 'Centuries' and 'Back-Pushing Sketch' be actual codes edited by programmers?

"Brother Shitou, what are you thinking about? You're so engrossed."

Hao Meng's voice woke Ning Shi up from his wild thoughts.

Looking at the beautiful Hao Meng, the three disciples who had recovered some strength after drinking the medicine, and the other students on the field in twos and threes.

The red setting sun and the gorgeous glow of the sunset, the gentle breeze, the sound of the students chatting, and the faint fragrance of Hao Meng's body.

This was an incomparably real world.

Ning Shi knew that his guess had no basis at all. In the field of exploring the secrets of the world, Hao Meng was more professional.

It was useless to think so much now. As his strength gradually increased, everything would eventually have a reasonable explanation.

57 Skill Impartation

Hao Meng took the three of them back to the training center. After checking their physical data, the five of them went to the cafeteria to eat.

As the principal, Ning Shi could spend his school card at will, and the overdrawn amount would be settled by the office every month.

Therefore, he decided to treat everyone to a meal in a private room on the second floor of the cafeteria.

After Ning Shi finished ordering, he reminded the three students indifferently, "Don't eat too much for dinner. You still have to continue cultivating later."

!!

The three disciples' faces turned pale. Hao Meng covered her mouth and laughed.

It wasn't just because of the reactions of Luo Yao and the other two, but also because she saw how many dishes Ning Shi had ordered.

For five of them, Ning Shi ordered a total of 16 dishes.

One had to know that the food portion given in the canteen was a lot, but even so, Ning Shi still told them to eat lesser.

When the food was served, the three students were a little embarrassed at first. After all, it was their first time eating with their master and Hao Meng, so they were a little reserved.

They did not expect that Ning Shi never slacked when he ate. With the highest respect for food, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Under the sweeping wind, two bowls of rice and a large plate of Shredded Pork in Garlic Sauce had been emptied.

Luo Yao, whose stomach was already rumbling with hunger, couldn't care less about anything else when she saw this situation, and she also started eating without restraint.

The others also joined the battle.

For a moment, only the sound of chewing and swallowing food could be heard in the private room. 𝐍𝑶𝓥𝑒𝔩𝑢𝓈𝑩.𝑐𝞸𝑚

In less than ten minutes, 16 dishes were cleared out, and a large bucket of rice was eaten.

The scene of the eating battle was so brutal that the canteen staff was dumbfounded.

Ning Shi had the first move and was the fastest, so he ate the most.

Surprisingly, Hao Meng ate the second most. She ate at a moderate pace and looked more refined, but her speed was not slow at all.

What Ning Shi said was right. Under such circumstances, the three disciples didn't eat much and could continue their cultivation at night without much of a problem.

After the meal, Ning Shi and Hao Meng continued to torture the three disciples until 11:30 in the evening.

Ning Shi had arranged separate dormitories for Luo Yao and the other two to facilitate their training.

At 5 o'clock the next morning, the three of them were still asleep when Ning Shi woke them up.

Luo Yao stretched her neck and felt her whole body ache. It was as if every muscle and bone in her body didn't belong to her.

Thinking that she would have to continue to be tortured today, she felt hopeless.

This was the effect that Ning Shi wanted. With the extreme body forging method, within one training cycle, the body must not be allowed to get enough rest.

One had to repeatedly train their body and mind while being physically and mentally exhausted.

For three consecutive days, Ning Shi and Hao Meng completed a full round of extreme body-forging method training.

"Brother Shitou, the results of the first round of training are very obvious," Hao Meng said while holding a stack of documents.

Luo Yao's fist strength has increased from 2000kg to 2300kg, Jiang Bichao's from 1000kg to 1200kg, and Zong Shangren's from 950kg to 1200kg.

Ning Shi nodded. "It's all thanks to your strength potion. Otherwise, the effect of the first round of training wouldn't have been so obvious."

According to the requirements of the extreme body forging method.

After a round of training, the three of them had to rest for at least three days to relieve their overexertion.

The next round of training would last for four days, and the duration of each round after that would be extended gradually.

When their bodies could withstand fifteen days of extreme training in a row, they would end their physical limits and enter the second stage of extreme pain training.

Hearing Ning Shi's praise, Hao Meng was very happy. She handed Ning Shi a notebook.

"Brother Shitou, this is the simplified version of the extreme body forging method."

"The original version of the extreme body forging method is very detailed, so I reduced the amount of training based on the original version to reduce the risk of training. However, the training effect will be much worse."

Ning Shi took the book and flipped through it.

Hao Meng said it so casually as if it was easy to create a simplified cultivation technique, but Ning Shi understood that the process was not easy.

The purpose of the extreme body forging method was to train the body in an extreme state. If the amount of training was reduced, it was easy for the training to be ineffective. Where could be reduced and where could not be done, were all things that needed to be learned and researched on.

Ning Shi didn't need to verify the effectiveness of the simplified version of the cultivation method because the screen of his mobile phone lit up.

[Obtained simplified body training technique: a basic body training method that was derived from the extreme body forging method. After cultivating it, it can gradually strengthen the human body's physique. It is ineffective for people with a physique of more than 25 points.]

The system prompt proved that Hao Meng's simplified cultivation method was effective.

Out of caution, Ning Shi still planned to teach the simplified version of the cultivation method to Li Daqiang and the other teachers first. Let them practice to see the effect, and if there was no problem, he would then hand it over to the officials for promotion.

"Brother Shitou, after the first round of training, I'm going to take an authorized plane to the Bei Shi Nation."

"It had been three days and the entire Bei Shi Nation had been devoured by the insect disaster. The insect disaster was slowly advancing toward the North of the Shi continent. Interestingly, the insect disaster was advancing very slowly."

"It was as if a force was guiding them."

"Under such circumstances, I can't wait to go and study it!"

Ning Shi knew that Hao Meng had made up her mind, so he could only say, "Take care of your safety. Call me if you need anything."

Hao Meng nodded and handed Ning Shi a note with a string of phone numbers on it.

"This number belongs to Mo Yu. You've seen her last time. If you don't have enough strength potion, you can call her directly."

"I still have 3000 bottles of strength potions. That amount should be enough for now. You can focus on your research."

Hearing this, Ning Shi was no longer worried about Hao Meng's safety.

Ning Shi had some speculations about Mo Yu's strength. She was at least a Tier 8 awakener. Since Hao Meng didn't bring such a powerful helper, she probably wasn't that worried about her own safety.

After giving him some instructions, Hao Meng turned around and left.

Ning Shi gathered all the martial arts teachers and fulfilled his promise in public, giving them the simplified body forging method.

After explaining the cultivation technique, he left the scene and did not conduct an on-the-spot teaching.

With the martial arts attainments of these masters, they did not need Ning Shi's guidance at all.

Moreover, the masters were too excited. The scene was filled with gratitude and flattery. Everyone was praising themselves. Ning Shi was most afraid of such occasions.

After Hao Meng left, Ning Shi was ready to try out the skill impartation function in the master-disciple system.

He returned to the dormitory, entered the game, and clicked on [Skill Impartation].

[Do you wish to spend 100 reputation points to teach Luo Yao Bajiquan LV1? Yes or no.]

[Do you wish to spend 50 reputation points to upgrade Luo Yao's Bajiquan to LV2? Yes or no.]

[Do you wish to spend 50 reputation points to upgrade Luo Yao's Bajiquan to LV3? Yes or no.]

After becoming the headmaster, Ning Shi's reputation had already reached 3123 (rather famous), and he had more reputation points.

He used up 600 reputation points in one go to upgrade his three disciples Bajiquan to Level 3.

After the upgrade, Ning Shi called Luo Yao.

"Master, is there something you need me for? I'm very free now, I have a lot of time."

Luo Yao, who was lying on the bed and slowly dying from exhaustion, suddenly became energetic after receiving Ning Shi's call.

[Luo Yao: master is calling me to ask me out on a date? Should I be more reserved? Oh no, why didn't I hold back? Why did I say that I'm free? That's so embarrassing!]

The corner of Ning Shi's mouth twitched, and he directly turned off the inner voice function.

"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask how you're doing. How's your body today? Is there anything wrong?"

"I just feel a little tired. Nothing else. Everything is normal."

"Alright, rest early. Remember to let me know if there's anything unusual during this time. We'll start the next round of training in three days."

Ning Shi hung up the phone and called Jiang Bichao and Zong Shangren. Neither of them felt anything unusual.

It seemed that skill impartation was different from learning skills by themselves. It was not an immediate effect.

After Luo Yao Hung up the phone, the excitement in her heart faded, and the feeling of fatigue hit her again.

She couldn't resist her sleepiness anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, Luo Yao arrived at the sports field in the new garden.

The field was empty and there was no one there. Luo Yao was feeling strange when Ning Shi appeared in front of her with a cold face.

"Master, did you ask me to come to the field? I-Is this a date?"

Ning Shi's expression was cold. He didn't pay attention to Luo Yao's words at all and spoke to himself.

"Today, I will teach you Bajiquan. First, get into a stance."

After he finished speaking, he immediately reached out and supported Luo Yao's waist, helping her to get into a proper stance.

Feeling the warmth of Ning Shi's big hand, Luo Yao's face turned red, but she didn't resist. She seriously followed Ning Shi's instructions and practiced Bajiquan.

In Jiang Bichao's dream, Ning Shi's personality was extremely profound. He was extremely strict with Jiang Bichao and would hit and scold him whenever he made a mistake.

Jiang Bichao was very fond of this technique and was very serious as he practiced Bajiquan.

Zong Shangren lay on the bed, his body convulsing. In his sleep, Ning Shi was a demon with a whip, constantly whipping him.

Under the stimulation of pain, he activated his highest potential and absorbed the knowledge of Bajiquan.

Different from Ning Shi's direct empowerment, the master-disciple system's skill impartation in the game was completed through dreams.

Ning Shi's image in their dream was a reflection of the disciples' life experiences and thoughts.

The next morning, when Ning Shi treated the disciples to a meal, he found that they were looking at him with strange eyes.

Jiang Bichao looked at him with admiration and respect. Zong Shangren, on the other hand, was extremely afraid of him. Sometimes, he would jolt in shock when Ning Shi looked at him.

As for Luo Yao, she was still acting like a little woman. Her face was red, and she didn't even dare to look at Ning Shi.

Ning Shi did not understand the changes in the disciples. He did not think much about it. He called them over today to test the effect of the skill impartation.

Ning Shi said after wiping his mouth.

"Let's go to the field. Everyone, show me a round of Bajiquan."

Upon hearing the words "Bajiquan", Luo Yao and the other two's pupils shrank as they looked at each other.

In the end, it was Luo Yao who gathered her courage and asked.

"Master, do you have the ability to enter dreams? Did you teach us Bajiquan in our dreams last night?"

58 Civilization

"What did you dream about last night?" Ning Shi asked instead of answering.

Luo Yao immediately blushed and lowered her head. Zong Shangren shivered. Only Jiang Bichao looked normal as he described.

"We all had a strange dream last night. In the dream, we appeared in the field of a new garden. Master, you taught us Bajiquan step by step."

"When I woke up this morning, although I had a splitting headache, the knowledge of Bajiquan from my dream was deeply imprinted in my mind, as if it had become my body's instinct."

"How can there be such a coincidence when the same thing happened to all three of us?" Jiang Bichao analyzed. "It must be your special ability, master."

Ning Shi did not respond to Luo Yao and Jiang Bichao's words.

This was the advantage of being a master. If the disciple wanted an answer, he, as the master, could choose to give them the answer. If he didn't, he could pretend to be mysterious and put on airs.

He decided to let his disciples guess since the final explanation was in his hands.

"Let's go to the field." Ning Shi smiled.

On the field, the three of them demonstrated the six opening moves and eight moves of Bajiquan. At first, they were a little awkward, but towards the end, they were very familiar with the moves.

Although it was not flexible enough, it could be said that they had grasped the various essentials of Bajiquan.

After examining their performance, Ning Shi knew in his heart that his three disciples had just touched on the basics and had not yet reached level 3 of Bajiquan. They would probably continue to dream these few days.

"Don't do any intense exercises for the next three days. The Bajiquan practice is mainly based on routine and moves so that your body can get enough rest."

"The next round of training will begin in three days. In the next round of training, you must deepen your understanding of the extreme body forging method."

"The master led the way, but cultivation depended on the individual."

"I won't be keeping an eye on you all the time in the training after this. You've all memorized the extreme body forging method. Now, you have to use your brain more and carefully figure out the true meaning of the technique."

"If there's anything you don't understand, just call me."

After saying this, Ning Shi left.

It had been five days since the last first-person perspective game.

Today was the day that the allied forces of the Ole and Elven Empires had agreed to attack Duohuang. Ning Shi was still a little worried about leaving the pilot to the system.

Ning Shi was worried that the avatar would play tricks again, so he prepared to return to the dormitory and control the avatar himself.

In the Bei Shi Nation, Hao Meng appeared out of thin air above the original location of the capital, Kabi City.

As far as her eyes could see, there was only a bare land. The large city with a population of millions had become a thing of the past in a few days.

Standing here, human civilization was like a dream bubble that would break at the slightest touch.

Only the asphalt roads, cement roads, and ceramic tiles on the first floor of the shopping mall on the ground showed the prosperity of human civilization once in this place.

Mo Yun slowly appeared behind Hao Meng. After seeing the scene on the ground, she sighed and said.

"The gold-devouring ants are just as we've studied, they don't gnaw on the surface and underground."

Hao Meng entered smart mode and spoke without any emotion.

"This is an inevitable choice for biological evolution. If the gold-devouring ants even devour the underground material, the entire race will be hard-pressed to escape extinction."

"According to our research, gold-eating ants build their nests in underground caves. They turn a blind eye to the materials on the surface and underground."

"Among so many types of bugs, only gold-eating ants had the ability and need to devour matter. Other bugs didn't have this ability."

"If all the bugs were like the gold-eating ants, the insect world would have been devoured long ago."

"Don't think that these insects only have animal instincts."

"When many researchers were studying the insects in the insect world, they still had an arrogant attitude that humans were the only intelligent creatures. It was really stupid of them to bring such thoughts with them as they deal with these insects."

"The insects in the insect world have also developed the seed of civilization. It's a completely different civilization from our human world."

"The gold-eating ants, which seemed to have the most destructive power, were actually a type of mining engineer unit. Insects like the thunder moth and magma worms were the combat units."

"Every attack of the swarm was organized and coordinated."

"There must be an intelligent creature commanding them from behind."

"Mo Yu and I secretly went to the insect world and found a kind of five-colored Phantom Butterfly. It has no combat power, but this butterfly often flies in front of the insect group."

"Countless bugs gathered together and watched the Phantom Butterfly dance."

"The scene was like tens of thousands of people gathered together to watch a concert or a football game."

"Insects have their own entertainment. Are these creatures still the insects you know?"

"To study the insects, we must give up the inherent pride of humans and understand their civilization from an equal perspective."

Mo Yun's mouth twitched. She was only a simple-minded awakener and did not know anything about scientific research.

Although Hao Meng's words were not profound and were shocking, she was not interested at all. She now regretted her exclamation just now and was worried that Hao Meng would continue.

Fortunately, the swarm of insects saved her.

Less than two minutes after the two of them appeared in Kabi City, a black storm swept over from afar.

Mo Yun's vision was extremely good. She swept a glance and said, it's the gold-eating ants and bomb bugs. Strange, these two types of bugs never appear at the same time, but now they're mixed together."

Hao Meng and Mo Yun did not panic at all in the face of the swarm of insects.

As the swarm of insects approached, Hao Meng waved her hand and tens of thousands of insects were instantly controlled by her. They gathered into a ball and separated themselves from the swarm to approach Hao Meng.

As for the other insects, they suddenly lost their target. Hao Meng and Mo Yun were clearly in front of them, but they seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

The insects hovered for a while, then flew north and disappeared into the sky.

Mo Yun had a smug expression.

"What do you think, director? Isn't my Spatial Folding Technique powerful?"

Unfortunately, she was facing Hao Meng in smart mode, so her proud bragging was destined to get no response.

"I've got the bugs. Let's find a place to build a research base first."

Hao Meng's figure flickered and landed on a floor covered with tiles.

She scanned the ground and came to a steel plate. Her eyes focused, and the steel plate seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and lifted up.

A hole was revealed.

Instantly, a sour smell mixed with feces, urine, farts, and sweat came out of the hole.

Mo Yun covered his nose and took a few steps back.

However, Hao Meng didn't seem to notice and jumped down directly, covering the steel plate as she passed through the hole.

This was the underground parking lot of the shopping mall. The scale of the shopping mall was average, and there was only a one-story underground parking lot.

After the insect disaster, people gradually realized that as long as the entrance to the underground garage was covered, the insects would not come in.

In order to save their lives, many people fled to the garage. The underground garage, which was less than 1000 square meters, was densely packed with hundreds of people.

Their faces were dark, and their expressions were numb and desperate. Everyone looked weak.

It was obvious that they had not eaten for a few days.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the rain these two days, the rainwater on the ground would not have been discharged into the garage through cracks, and they would have died of thirst. 𝓃𝑶𝓥𝖊𝗅𝗎𝗌𝒃.𝗰𝗈𝓂

It was dark under the garage, and the visibility was extremely low. Fortunately, Hao Meng's five senses were powerful, otherwise, she might have stepped on the people lying on the ground.

Mo Yun couldn't stand the smell of the underground parking lot and had already escaped into an alternate dimension. The crowd could only see Hao Meng.

Hao Meng's arrival caused a commotion in the crowd.

Clean, tidy clothes and a body full of vitality, this was the aura of human civilization.

For these people who had lived underground for a few days, civilization seemed to have gone far away.

Hao Meng's footsteps did not stop. She nimbly passed through the crowd and walked straight ahead.

In the middle of the garage, there was a glass room with a faint light.

The door wasn't locked. Hao Meng pushed the door open and walked in. She saw a middle-aged black man sitting in the room. He looked a little old, but he was in good spirits.

Beside him, there were a few strong black men holding guns.

Seeing Hao Meng come in, the middle-aged black man had a strange look on his face.

He stood up and stared at Hao Meng, muttering, "Such a white and tender girl! Such delicacy! It's been a long time since I've tasted such a fine dish."

As he spoke, he drooled.

The black man's eyes were fierce, and he was like a beast hunting for prey. A stream of mental energy turned into a sharp thorn and stabbed toward Hao Meng!

"Ah!"

Hao Meng stood still, but the middle-aged black man held his head and knelt on the ground, screaming in pain.

These were the symptoms of a spiritual-type awakener suffering from the backlash of their own mental attack.

Hao Meng's face was expressionless as she issued a mechanical command.

"Tell me your name, ability, and what you've been through in the past few days!"

The black man immediately stopped howling, and his body began to speak.

"My name is Hei Teng. I used to be an underground rapper. When I was 30 years old, I offended drug dealers and was beaten up. God took care of me and let me awaken my mental abilities."

"Because I had no one to teach me, I had been fumbling about how to use my ability for more than ten years and gradually learned two skills. One was to twist my spirit into a force to attack the enemy."

"The other is a combination of my rapping ability. I found that when I rap, I add my spiritual-type ability to produce a strange hypnotic effect."

"When I sing songs that detest the world, everyone will become angry and anxious. When I sing songs that praise love and peace, the hearts of the listeners will be filled with peace, and everyone's hearts will be filled with love and kindness."

"My rap can influence people's emotions."

"Gradually, I became famous in the Bei Shi Nation and became a pop rapper.

"When the insect disaster struck, I was having a party with many people. I was so high that I only woke up a day later. By then, there was no way to escape."

Hei Teng's face was filled with fear. He realized that he was in a strange state of hypnosis, but his mouth didn't stop as he continued speaking.

"I hid in the underground garage and was lucky enough to escape the insect attack. At first, the garage was in chaos, and everyone was fighting over food and water."

"Using my advantage as an awakener, I quickly took control of the situation and recruited a few gang members with firearms to help me maintain order."

"There's a power room in the garage with a diesel generator and a few barrels of diesel. I used this to generate electricity and light up my room."

"There are hundreds of people outside, why do you need more people?" Hao Meng asked.

"Food. The people outside are my food. I eat meat when I'm hungry and drink blood when I'm thirsty. In order to ensure the freshness of my food, I used my singing ability to calm everyone's resentment."

"Otherwise, these hundreds of people would have already started fighting and devouring each other."

If other people had heard Hei Teng's inhuman words, they might have been extremely angry. However, Hao Meng was in smart mode, so her emotions were extremely indifferent. Her face was as calm as an ancient well.

It was only because Hei Teng had attacked her and wanted to make her his food that Hao Meng was not going to be soft-hearted.

Her bright eyes blinked, and his entire body collapsed to the ground. Hei Teng was brain dead.

"The facilities and terrain here are not suitable for building an experimental base. Let's move to another place."

Hao Meng said to the air. Mo Yun, who was in the alternate dimension, nodded.

As a developed country, the Bei Shi Nation had developed a lot of underground spaces, so there must be underground shopping malls.

Not every underground garage or shopping mall had people. The insect disaster happened too quickly, and more people didn't have time to know the secrets of the insects.

This highlighted the incompetence of the Bei Shi Nation's officials.

If the government's higher-ups had not fled first, but instead organized a mass transfer underground after understanding the characteristics of the gold-eating ants, many lives could have been saved.

Unfortunately, heroes were common, but not so as a country. 𝗇𝑜𝐕𝐄𝓵𝑈𝐬𝐛.𝑐𝒐𝐦

After killing the man-eating beast, Hei Teng, Hao Meng didn't stop. She quickly left the underground parking lot.

Mo Yun looked at the hundreds of ordinary people in the garage. They were surviving in the dark and hopeless underground, surrounded by feces from days ago.

Some people were sleeping on excrement with no hesitation. They had basically lost their hope and dignity as human beings.

They were like the walking dead, numbly waiting for death to come.

Without Hei Teng's hypnotizing song, these people would eventually have to fight to death. The winners would chew on the losers' corpses and continue to live.

When he thought of this, Mo Yun could not help but to leave them a portion of the food and water in her dimensional pocket.

As an eighth-rank space-type awakener, Mo Yun's personal space was extremely large. Other than the experimental equipment Hao Meng needed for her research, she also brought a lot of food.

The food she left behind was enough for hundreds of people to consume for two or three days.

She felt that if the director was in her tender mode, she would definitely do the same.

In Mo Yun's view, this casual act of help was only for her own peace of mind, and had nothing to do with morality or benevolence.

Would these people fight over food? What would happen if these people ran out of food in two or three days? That was not a problem that Mo Yun could consider.

Hao Meng noticed Mo Yun's actions, but she did not stop her.

"The Bei Shi Nation has tens of millions of people, and at the moment, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people living underground. If you want, you can help many people with your ability."

"But you could only help them for a while."

"As an individual, humans were very fragile. However, as a civilization, they were very tenacious. After all, they are the top species that ruled the entire planet."

"These humans who live underground will eventually adapt to everything, survive and multiply in the underground world, and develop an alternative civilization."

"What?" Mo Yun was confused. "There's nothing in the underground parking lot. How are they going to survive?"

"These people are lying in the garage and doing nothing. They can only wait for death, but there will always be people who will rise up and lift the tools to dig underground. There will always be a small number of lucky people who will discover surprises from the underground world."

"There are also some people who don't have to dig. When they were avoiding the insect plague, they hid near the underground river and survived by the river."

"These people would slowly discover the various characteristics of the insects, and using these characteristics, they would occasionally be able to go to the surface to get some air and obtain some resources."

"After a long period of development, these people might gradually evolve into a new species that did not need sunlight, or they might even degenerate and return to the ocean."

"No one knows where they will eventually go. These are all my guesses. The development of civilization is always full of accidents."

Hao Meng ended the conversation. She searched through a few underground spaces and finally found an empty underground shopping mall.

The shopping mall was not large, but it had good ventilation and was suitable for an experimental base.

In smart mode, Hao Meng's work efficiency was amazing. It only took her two hours to install all the equipment.

After starting the generator, the underground experimental base was brightly lit, and the sound of the machine running was buzzing.

The most advanced human technological civilization had once again appeared in the Bei Shi Nation, which was ravaged by the insect plague.

Seeing that Hao Meng was about to capture the insect and dive into research, Mo Yun quickly said.

"Director, let's eat first. We'll have plenty of time to do experiments after dinner."

Mo Yun took out some instant noodles and sausages, boiled some water, and prepared an instant noodles lunch.

Mo Yun had originally hated eating instant noodles, but after seeing the countless starving people today, the instant noodles seemed to have become tasty.

In this disastrous land, it was the greatest happiness to be able to eat hot instant noodles with sausages.

Mo Yun picked up a piece of sausage with her fork and put it in her mouth, speaking as she ate.

"Director, you brought a lot of equipment. If you're just studying the changes after the insects came to our world, you don't need so much equipment."

In the smart mode, Hao Meng's eating was extremely precise. She chewed the food rhythmically, and the magnitude and number of times she chewed each mouthful was the same.

Hao Meng said after swallowing the food in her mouth, "As I mentioned before, the insect world has its own civilization. For a civilized race, starting a war is no longer the instinct of a beast to hunt, but a clear strategic purpose."

"I've been to the insect world, it's a world more prosperous and rich than Saturn. With the situation of the insect world, it shouldn't be interested in the relatively barren Saturn."

"The gold-eating ants had devoured the entire Bei Shi Nation. It may appear as if they had obtained some resources for the insect world, but for an entire world, this bit of resources might not even be comparable to the deaths of those invading insects."

"I'm here to find a way to communicate with the insects, to decipher their language, and to figure out the purpose of the insect world invading our world."

"There are many restrictions within the world boundary, and it's too dangerous to go inside the insect world. The current Bei Shi Nation has many types of insects and a large quantity of them, which is just right for my research."

Mo Yun's face turned bitter. According to Hao Meng, they would probably stay in the Bei Shi Nation for a long time.

The instant noodles didn't smell good again!

She wanted to go shopping freely, to bathe in the sun and laugh as she pleased, and to ask her friends out to eat spicy hotpot.

For a period of time in the future, all these things would be gone.

There would only be the sound of machines, the boring underground laboratory, and disgusting insects.

Mo Yun looked at Hao Meng's expressionless face. She couldn't understand why the director would go to the sealed underground world and give up her superior life for such meaningless research.

She didn't understand, but she supported it 100%.

Hao Meng finished her instant noodles and was just about to start her experiment when her phone rang. It was Wu Yingxiong.

"What is it?"

The cold tone made Wu Yingxiong swallow back all his greetings, and he tried to be as concise as possible.

"Director, there's a situation at the new world boundary of the MieIn Federation."

"According to the information given by the parliament members we bribed, the MieIn Federation has accelerated the exploration of the new world boundary, stimulated by the destruction of the Bei Shi Nation."

"They gathered several suicide squads, and after sacrificing hundreds of people, a portion of them finally passed through the world boundary and saw the world that the boundary was connected to."

"Among these people, three of them successfully crossed the border again and returned to the MieIn Federation."

"According to their description, behind the new world boundary was not the insect world, but a new world where humans lived!"

"The language system of that world was similar to that of Latin, so the three of them managed to figure out some information by guessing."

"It was said that the new world was a beautiful and rich world. In addition to humans, there were also races from Western stories, such as elves, dwarves, beastmen, gnomes, and even dragons and gods!"

"This was a great new discovery that surpassed the discovery made by Columbus!"

"Now, the upper echelons of the MieIn Federation are all ecstatic. They are chanting federation's slogan and excitedly waiting for the new world boundary to be fully formed."

The more Wu Yingxiong spoke, the more excited he became, and the faster he spoke.

"As long as the world boundary enters its mature period and the space storm subsides, the MieIn Federation will send a diplomatic mission to contact the humans of the new world."

"They believed that the humans in the new world shared the same culture and bloodline as them. Whether it was their language or race, they were extremely similar, and they could try to establish diplomatic relations."

"According to the description of the three people who have been to the new world, the humans of the new world did not reject them at all. Their culture is very open and inclusive, and the probability of the MieIn Federation establishing diplomatic relations with the humans of the new world is very high!"

"Inspector, are we still going to stay in Yunmeng Kingdom? The MieIn Federation was now the world's most powerful country. In the future, with the help of the new world, they would only become stronger."

"We still have some arrangements in the MieIn Federation. It's still not too late to shift the focus of our work from Yunmeng Kingdom to the MieIn Federation!"

Hao Meng's round face revealed a thoughtful expression.

After a short while, she replied coldly, "Wu Yingxiong, I'll say this for the last time. Don't mention domestic or foreign matters again."

"If there's a next time, you'll die."

On the other side of the phone, Wu Yingxiong felt a chill.

Thinking of the director's bloody past, he shivered and said embarrassedly, "There won't be a next time. I'll listen to you, director."

Hao Meng hung up the phone, grabbed a gold-eating ant, and began to dissect it.

The formation of the new world boundary would take at most half a year and at least three months. She just needed to keep an eye on this and didn't need to spend too much energy on it.

Even if the boundary was formed, it was hard to say if things would go as the MieIn Federation wished.

Every world and civilization had its own rules and characteristics.

If the MieIn Federation wanted to develop a new world, it would be easier said than done if they did not go through a war.

Back in the dormitory, Ning Shi locked the door, lay on the bed, and entered the game from first perspective.

As usual, he checked the system hack log.

[After defeating the Dark Moon Vanguards, the avatar held a victory banquet. During the banquet, he invited Snow Fog to dance with him. Character intimacy 3. Current character intimacy: 88.]

[The test of the magic core cannon was a success. Snow Fog was shocked by the power of the cannon and saw hope for revenge. Character intimacy 2. Current character intimacy: 90.]

[The avatar has treated Snow Fog to a meal a total of 6 times. Character intimacy 3. Current character intimacy: 93.]

Ning Shi was expressionless. The avatar's style was really extremely upright! He was definitely not getting close to women. Dog head.jpg.

[The avatar killed an intermediate magical beast, thunder horn lizard. Experience points 200.]

[The avatar killed an intermediate magical beast, wind fire wolf. Experience points 200.]

…

In five days, the avatar and the Undying Trump Troop had killed nearly 100000 intermediate magical beasts, obtaining 4.5 million experience points.

Although there were a lot of magical beasts in the deserted north plains, they could not withstand such a massacre. Ning Shi decided to take it slow. After leveling up, the experience given by the intermediate magical beasts would decrease again. One intermediate magical beast only gave 100 experience.

[Bloodline warrior has leveled up to level 14 (1112000/20480000). Spiritual power 1, skill point 1, potential point 1.]

His profession level had increased again, and his spiritual power had reached 25. The skill points were directly added to Bajiquan.

Ning Shi couldn't keep adding points to his swordsmanship. Although the damage would be extremely high if he was biased, his survivability would be poor.

He also had to take care of footwork and fist techniques. Bajiquan contained the profoundness of footwork. He planned to first add the skill points to Bajiquan and then improve Cloud Shadow Steps. He had to level both of these skills to Level 5 first.

[Bajiquan has been upgraded to Level 5. Fist technique master has been upgraded to fist technique grandmaster. Fist technique damage 100%.]

After reading the log and adding points, Ning Shi regained control of the avatar.

At this moment, Ning Shi was standing on the city wall, and next to him were Snow Fog, Amy, Yelina, Fox, and other key personnel of the city.

Faced with the honey-like affection in Snow Fog's eyes, Ning Shi's face was as calm as an old dog, but he was actually panicking inside. It was all the avatar's fault!

"Boss, the Ole Empire's 200000 men Eastern Expedition Army has arrived. They've split into two groups and are now stationed 3 kilometers away from the West City Gate. They're probably waiting for the Elven Empire to arrive before launching an attack."

"The Elven Empire's 100000 men Full Moon Army and 1000 men Chimera Troop has already crossed the Wangnan River an hour ago and are expected to arrive in about four hours."

After hearing the report from Snow Fog, no one showed any fear on their faces. Even the civil official Amy looked calm, as if she didn't care about the 300000 incoming soldiers.

This was because these people were all witnesses during the magic core cannon's experimental shooting. After the cannonball was fired, the magic explosion it produced could blow up a small hill. 𝚗𝑶𝗏𝔢𝓵𝓊𝗌𝗯.𝐂𝔬𝑚

There were hundreds of magic core cannons installed on every section of the city wall.

The power of a hundred cannons firing at the same time was comparable to super magic.

As long as he had enough magic cores, he could continuously cast super magic spells without stopping.

In the game world, the magic core smith's ability to create magic core tools might not be as good as the industrial assembly lines in the real world, but their speed was not slow either.

Duohuang was an extremely rich land, and the consumption of magic core tools was extremely high. The magic core industry was very developed.

Ning Shi had recruited all the magic core craftsmen and tools in Duohuang, so he was able to produce hundreds of magic core cannons in a short five to six days.

Amy continued after Snow Fog.

"My Lord, during this period of time, you have led the Undying Trump Troop to hunt magical beasts and obtained a total of 5689 intermediate magic cores. I have also spent 400000 gold coins to buy 20000 beginner magic cores from various Chambers of Commerce."

"Right now, we have 55000 beginner magic cores and 20000 intermediate magic cores. It's more than enough to support over a thousand rounds of firing from the magic core cannons. We have more than enough magic cores in storage."

Ning Shi nodded. Every time the magic core cannon fired, it would directly consume all the energy of a beginner magic core, while a intermediate magic core could support four shots.

After being drained of energy by the magic core cannon, the magic core would scatter into dust.

Each cannon would cost 20 gold coins to fire a shot. If they used intermediate magic cores, each shot would cost 25 gold coins.

That was why war was all about money.

Thinking of what Snow fog had said, Ning Shi asked, "What is the range of the magic core cannons? How do you ensure the accuracy of the shots?"

Elon stepped forward and answered the question, "My Lord, the magic core cannon's maximum range is five kilometers. Although the cannons were fixed on the city wall, the main body of the barrel could be adjusted up, down, left, and right."

"The cannon platform has a range adjustment scale on it, and there are a total of 500 units."

"According to the current height of the city wall, the shooting range would increase by 10 meters with every small adjustment of the angle. A novice could also ensure the shooting accuracy of the cannon within a 10-meter radius."

"If you go through repeated training, your shooting accuracy will be within 1 meter."

Hearing this answer, Ning Shi's eyes lit up.

Ole Empire's Eastern Expedition Army had set up their camp only 3km away from the city wall, which was just within the shooting range of their cannons.

It would be unreasonable if they didn't give them a welcome gun salute at this time.

With the servant contracts, Ning Shi's control over Duohuang City reached an extreme, and all the voices of opposition in the city were eliminated.

After the great purge from the war, there were almost no enemy spies in the inner reaches of Duohuang.

There was too little time, and the two Empires didn't have the time to send spies into Duohuang City to gather information. Or rather, the two empires didn't even bother to gather information.

From their perspective, although Ning Shi's troops had defeated the 50000 vanguards, they had no power to resist an army of 300000 people.

The only thing the two empires were worried about was how Brad empire would react to this.

Due to this mentality, the Eastern Expedition Army did not even prepare any siege weapons.

From what they knew, Duohuang did not have any city walls.

After setting up camp, the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, Calino, heard his spies report that a five-meter-tall city wall had been built around Duohuang. He almost thought that it was fake news.

Under such circumstances, the Eastern Expedition Army had no idea that Duohuang even had powerful long-range weapons like the magic core cannons. They had set up their camp three kilometers away from Duohuang city.

The 200,000 men army was divided into two camps, stationed on the left and right sides of the Western City Wall.

However, they were all within the range of the magic core cannons.

"Everyone, get ready for battle! Prepare the magic core cannons and attack the Eastern Expedition Army's camp directly!"

"Snow Fog, prepare the Duohuang Artillery Force and get ready to leave the city at any time!"

"Yelina, increase the number of patrols by the city guards to ensure the order and safety of the city. If anyone is found to have any abnormal behavior, kill them without mercy!"

Under Ning Shi's order, the magic core cannon shooting squad took the lead and climbed up the West city wall.

The shooting squad had a total of 500 people.

There were five people under each cannon. One of them was in charge of adjusting the angle and guiding the shots, one was in charge of loading the magic core, and the last one was in charge of transporting the magic core and observing the situation on the battlefield.

The other two were reserve members. If any of their team members were injured or killed, they could take over at any time.

In order to gain experience, Ning Shi had made sure long ago that the people in charge of shooting in the shooting squad were all servants of the Undying Trump Troop.

After about half an hour, Snow Fog reported loudly, "Boss, the magic core cannons are ready to fire!"

"The Artillery Force and Undying Trump Troop have quietly left the city and are ready to launch a surprise attack at any time!"

In the battle against the Ole Empire, Snow Fog brought along the moon elf troops that were previously captured. The Artillery Force now had 40000 people, and their long-range firepower was extremely strong!

When everything was ready, Ning Shi raised his hand and shouted loudly.

"All shooters! Listen to my command! Ready! Fire!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Accompanied by deafening sounds, a hundred magic core cannons fired at the same time.

Red balls of light the size of footballs were shot out with long flaming tails. They drew arcs in the air and landed accurately on the two camps of the Easter Expedition Army.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The campsite was blasted into huge pits, and many warriors were blown to pieces by the magic cannonballs.

A huge explosion sounded in all directions. The cavalry's magical beast mounts were frightened and fled frantically around the camp.

The soldiers did not get the chance to react.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Another round of cannonballs fell.

The military camp was in an uproar!

The magical beasts fled in all directions, and the crowd trampled on one another.

General Calino and a group of officers were trying their best to control the situation. They had just taken control of a portion of the army.

The magic core cannonballs came again, and one of them happened to land among the troops that Calino had just gathered.

Bang! The cannonball exploded!

Limbs flew and blood splattered everywhere. Not knowing where the enemy was attacking from, the army was overcame by fear and completely lost control.

After firing a total of twelve rounds of cannonballs, Ning Shi led the Undying Trump Troop to the camp where Calino was.

At this time, the Eastern Expedition Army had completely collapsed and could not organize any defense at all.

The Undying Trump Troop wreaked havoc in the camp, destroying everything. Even the commander of the Eastern Expedition Army, Calino, was stabbed to death by Ning Shi.

Not far from the camp, the Artillery Force on wind wolves controlled the distance and released long-range attacks.

The pursuit went on for more than an hour. Remembering that the Elven army was about to arrive, Ning Shi gave the order to clean up the battlefield and return to the city.

In the City Lord's mansion, Snow Fog rushed in excitedly. The blue priest's robe on her body was stained with blood.

"Boss, according to our rough calculations, we have annihilated about 110000 soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army, captured about 20000 people, and seized countless armors and supplies. Even if the rest of the Eastern Expedition Army regrouped, they would not be able to fight again without food and logistics!"

Ning Shi was very satisfied that this battle could achieve such an effect. The main reason for their landslide victory was that this was the first time the magic core cannons had been used on the battlefield, and the enemy was completely unprepared.

Out of the 110000 casualties, only about 30000 were killed by the magic core cannons. Most of them died from the stampede after the camp was blown up, as well as the pursuit of the Duohuang troops.

In this wave of battle, the magic core cannons and the Undying Trump Troop had killed about 50000 soldiers in total, and Ning Shi had obtained more than 40 million experience points.

[Bloodline warrior has leveled up to level 15 (24680000/40960000). Spiritual power 1, skill point 1, potential point 1.]

He leveled up again and saw his experience value continue to double. Ning Shi smiled bitterly in his heart.

After upgrading Bajiquan to Level 5, 2 skill points were needed for the next level up. Ning Shi planned to take the path of balanced development and added the new skill points to Cloud Shadow Steps.

[Cloud Shadow Steps has been upgraded to Level 4. Acquired special light body. Footwork speed 50%.]

Ning Shi activated his movement technique and his entire body turned into a shadow, flashing around the meeting hall. The Level 4 Cloud Shadow Steps was faster than the Level 3 one, and it also had an additional characteristic of making his body light.

Ning Shi tried it, and the current speed of the Cloud Shadow Steps was nearly twice as fast as before!

Although basic swordsmanship and Bajiquan also had footwork, they were not as good as Cloud Shadow Steps, which specialized in speed.

[Seeing the speed of your Cloud Shadow Steps, Snow Fog was greatly amazed. Character intimacy 1. Current character intimacy level: 94.]

He was now the apple of Snow Fog's eye, so whatever Ning Shi easily impressed her and would increase their intimacy.

After testing the speed of his movement technique, Ning Shi sat back in the main seat and asked, "How's the Elven army?"

"The Full Moon Army is advancing at a constant speed. They are currently 150 kilometers away from Duohuang City and are expected to arrive in two hours."

61 Retreat

In the Wangnan grassland, the Full Moon Army was marching forward with great momentum.

In the middle of the army, the commander, Olicia, sat on a huge white tiger. She wore tight-fitting silver leather armor that outlined her beautiful curves.

An assassin's figure flickered and appeared in front of Olicia.

"Lady Olicia, we've received a report from the frontlines. The Ole Empire's Eastern Expedition Army has been defeated. More than 100,000 soldiers have died. They no longer have the strength to fight."

Olivia was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.

"The Eastern Expedition Army is the Ole Empire's main force in foreign wars. They have the demonic ape blood guards, which are known to be invincible in close combat, and the fierce tiger troop, which is extremely powerful in individual combat."

"Moreover, we agreed to attack simultaneously from the south and west only after our army arrives. Why did the Ole Empire bring forward the battle?" 𝑛𝔬𝗏𝔢𝗅𝚞𝗌𝒷.𝑐𝚘𝓂

The shadow assassin could not answer Olicia's question. She was just a tool to pass on information.

Olicia was extremely cautious. She would not allow the Army to take another step forward until she had a clear understanding of the situation.

She waved her hand and ordered, "All troops, stop advancing. Wait for news on the spot. Soldiers, don't get off your mounts. Stay on alert."

Half an hour later, the reconnaissance battalion returned with a deserter from the Eastern Expedition Army.

The deserter was covered in blood, and it was unknown if it was his own blood or his comrades'. His helmet had long been lost, and his hair was disheveled, making him look like a homeless man.

Seeing that the deserter was still in shock and his face was pale, Olicia said, "Give him a cup of moon holy water."

Moon holy water was a special product of the moon elves. It was produced in the moon well blessed by the moon god and could greatly restore one's physical and mental strength.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

The deserter expressed his gratitude in a hoarse voice. After drinking the moon holy water, he slowly calmed down.

"What happened?" asked Olicia. "Why did the Eastern Expedition Army lose so quickly?"

Hearing the question, the deserter recalled everything that had just happened. His expression was once again filled with fear as he replied in a trembling voice, "Meteor magic, overwhelming meteor magic… My comrades were talking to me a second ago, and the next second, they were burned to death by the wind and fire magic generated by the explosion. The whole camp was in chaos. I ran around like a headless fly. I remember stepping on many things but I couldn't care about them anymore… I kept running and running, away from the explosion, away from the pursuers…"

The deserter seemed to be on the verge of a mental breakdown. One of the priests behind Olicia cast a calming spell, and he finally calmed down.

Olicia's expression changed. Meteor magic?

Could it be that the star elves had regained control of the divine weapon Starfall?

No, that's not right. Starfall was starlight magic. The meteorites that came from Starlight definitely would not contain wind or fire magic. Olicia continued asking, "Do you still remember the characteristics of the meteor magic?"

The deserter didn't answer the question and muttered, "A few hours ago, we arrived at Duohuang City in advance. Just like before, Lord Calino divided us into two groups and stationed us outside the city."

"I belong to the wolf knights, so I was stationed on the left with Lord Sisso."

"After Lord Sisso sent out the reconnaissance battalion to investigate the enemy's situation, he ordered us to rest and recuperate on the spot, waiting for the Elven army to arrive."

"I don't know how long I've been resting. Suddenly, a dense red light appeared in the sky. The light moved extremely fast, and soon, it turned from a small dot to the size of a rock and smashed down fiercely."

The deserter's body began to tremble as he recalled, "Bang! Bang! Bang! The explosion has started. It's all over… It's all over."

Olicia had a rough idea of the situation. The Eastern Expedition Army did not take the initiative to attack. They were waiting for the Elven army as promised, but they were suddenly attacked by Duohuang.

It seemed that someone in the Duohuang City had mastered a super magic spell, which could release countless red magic bombs in an instant.

At the thought of this, Olicia's heart palpitated with fear. Fortunately, the Eastern Expedition Army had arrived first. If the Full Moon Army had arrived first, the ones who would have been defeated and destroyed would have been her own army.

Olicia knew very well that the 100,000 men army she led was on par with the Ole Empire's 200,000 men army in terms of strength.

The result would have been the same if it had been the Full Moon Army.

"Reconnaissance battalion and vanguard battalion, move out together and do your best to gather all information on the battlefield. If you encounter the Duohuang Army, do not engage them. Focus on gathering information."

The enemy was in the dark while she was out in the open. This was a great taboo for an army in battle. Before they could figure out the situation in Duohuang, Olicia could only order the army to stay on guard.

As the reconnaissance battalion continued to investigate, more and more Eastern Expedition Army soldiers were found, and their words were corroborated with each other's.

The scouts from the reconnaissance battalion also brought back the latest information.

"My Lady, Duohuang has built a five-meter-tall city wall. It's unbelievable. In just a few days, walls have been built on all four sides of the city, each of which is over ten thousand meters long."

"My Lady, there is a strange weapon on the city wall. The base of the weapon is fixed on the city wall, and there is a long pillar in front."

"For this map, we have sacrificed hundreds of scouts."

As more and more information was gathered, Olicia finally understood everything. Duohuang City had built a weapon that could release magic bombs. The weapon's attack range was very far, at least three kilometers away.

Hundreds of such weapons were installed on each wall.

After figuring out the truth, Olicia looked at the map of the outskirts of Duohuang, frowning.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and said, "All troops, retreat!"

Upon hearing this order, priest Ludo, who had been standing behind her and was also the army supervisor sent by Elder Silverdew, quickly said, "We can't retreat! Lady Olicia, you'd better think this through. If you retreat, the Elven Empire's reputation will be ruined! Not only did the Dark Moon Vanguards sacrifice in vain, but we'll also never be able to take over this strategic piece of land."

Olicia's eyes turned cold as she stared at Ludo with a sharp gaze.

"I'm the commander of the army. If I say retreat, then we should retreat!"

Ludo was frightened by Olicia's gaze. He said, "Alright! Just retreat, I'll see how you'll explain this to Elder Silverdew!"

After he finished speaking, he left.

As Ludo left in anger, the deputy commander said worriedly, "Lady Olicia, you've saved the warriors' lives by retreating like this. However, Elder Silverheron will definitely blame you. Her only son died in Duohuang."

After making the decision to retreat, the burden was lifted from Olicia's heart. She felt more relaxed and said nonchalantly, "Duohuang City is surrounded by plains, which was originally not conducive to the defense of the city. However, the situation is different now that they've got magic bomb weapons."

"Anyone who dared to attack Duohuang would be attacked by magic bombs from three kilometers away."

"In this situation, it's meaningless for us to make sacrifices to attack Duohuang. We have no chance of winning at all. As the commander, I must order a retreat."

"Moreover, it is true that the strategic position of Duohuang is extremely important to the Ole and Brad Empires."

"However, for us elves, we are sandwiched between the two human empires, so conquering Duohuang is not that important to us."

"It's just that after Duohuang is occupied by others, we'll have to spend some troops to set up defenses in the North."

"If Grand Elder Silverdew wants to punish me, I'll accept it. It just so happens that after so many years of fighting, I'm tired. When I return to Biyue City, I'm ready to resign from my military post and go home to rest."

"My hometown's floral tea is sweet and fragrant. I haven't had it for more than ten years, and it's already become a taste in my memory."

Olicia's face was filled with reminiscence. She, who had always been valiant and extraordinary, revealed a rare gentle side. Her feminine beauty was fully displayed at this moment.

Seeing this, the deputy general stopped trying to persuade her.

The Full Moon Army retreated.

They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

When Ning Shi received this news, he felt an infinite amount of regret in his heart.

These were all experience bags, why did they run away just like that!

"Do you think it's easy for me to level up?" he asked in heart.

Snow Fog saw the unwillingness and vexation in Ning Shi's eyes and was extremely touched.

[Snow Fog saw your desire to destroy the Moon Elves' army and thought that you wanted to avenge her. She was very touched. Character intimacy 2. Current character intimacy: 96.]

Ning Shi was stunned.

He said inwardly, "Snow Fog, can you be more reserved? If this goes on, it won't end well!"

Report chapter Comments

Duohuang invented a type of magic core weapon and directly defeated the Ole Empire's 200000 men Eastern Expedition Army. The Elven Empire's 100000 men Full Moon Army retreated without a fight.

This news seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread to all the major forces on the Moen Continent.

As the City Lord of Duohuang City, Ning Shi, the Lord of extreme wilderness, was also very famous.

Ning Shi's reputation value kept rising, from a well-known reputation to a well-known figure, and from a well-known figure to a renowned figure in a country, all the way to (18120/23660).

He had enough reputation value, but his number of servants was limited to 5000.

In the Starry Hills at the southeast corner of the continent, half-elf Bruce pulled out an arrow from the corpse of the Kambia family's slave-hunting team member. He wiped the blood off the arrow and put it back into his quiver.

Bruce smiled bitterly as he watched his subordinates loot the armor and weapons of the slave-hunting team.

The half-elves were too poor.

Even as the son of the tribe leader, he had to re-use arrows.

This time, they had ambushed and killed over 300 people from the slave-hunting team, which was a big harvest for the half-elves.

After becoming Ning Shi's follower, Bruce activated his character template, and his strength increased rapidly.

In a month's time, his profession level had been raised to level 10, and his bloodline level had been raised to level 4 – the shadow wolf half-elf bloodline. His overall strength had increased by more than 10 times.

On the way back to the tribe from the wasteland, he killed magical beasts to level up as he hurried on his journey.

Once, when he was chasing after a lightning rat, he had entered the depths of the forest by mistake and found an ancient ruin. He had found three advanced magic cores and a divine weapon – a butterfly longbow.

The moment he picked up the butterfly longbow, the divine weapon recognized him as its master, as if it had been waiting for him to come.

With the increase in power brought by the upgrade and the power of the divine weapon, Bruce killed the traitors of his race immediately after he returned.

Bruce quickly established his prestige in the tribe. His father, Engo, had been in bed due to his old illness aggravated by the long-term battle.

Right now, Bruce had become the de facto leader of the half-elf tribe, although he still had to obey his father's opinion in name.

"Lord Bruce, the leader wants you to go back as soon as possible. He said he has something important to discuss with you!"

A small but agile half-elf ran over and said while panting.

"Everyone!" Bruce shouted. "Return to the tribe after cleaning up the battlefield. The leader has something to discuss with me, so I'll take my leave first."

After returning to the tribe, Bruce did not stop and went straight to the sacrificial hall in the center of the tribe.

His father, Engo, who had been bedridden for many days, was wearing a solemn beast skin coat and sitting on the leader's seat. 𝑛𝗈𝑣𝑒𝑙𝚞𝓈𝓫.𝐜𝚘𝓜

The grand priest and several elders of the tribe sat at the lower seats, and a dozen young half-elves stood on the side. They were the most talented young people in the tribe.

What a big scene.

Bruce's expression changed slightly. He stepped forward and asked, "Father, you called me back. Did something big happen?"

A smile appeared on Engo's pale face as he spoke slowly, "Bruce, I remember that you proposed to let the tribe submit to Ning Shi, the mayor of Duohuang City. I didn't think it through and rejected you."

"Now that we've all agreed, you should arrange for the relocation as soon as possible."

Bruce was confused. A week ago, he had proposed to move the entire clan to Duohuang, but his father and the elders had rejected him sternly. Why had they changed their minds now?

As if he could see Bruce's confusion, Engo explained, "I've just received news that Lord Ning Shi of Duohuang city has defeated the Ole Empire's 200000 men Eastern Expedition Army and scared off the Elven Empire's Full Moon Army. His name has already spread to the surrounding countries."

A baby-faced half-elf, Bruce's younger brother, Armand, said excitedly, "Brother, Lord Ning Shi is truly worthy of being your boss. With only tens of thousands of troops, he defeated the allied troops of the two empires. He's too amazing!"

"That's right. I can't believe didn't think much of brother Bruce's boasting about Lord Ning Shi's power before. "

"Big brother Bruce is so powerful. How could the Lord he follows be an ordinary person?"

Hearing everyone praise boss Ning Shi, Bruce showed an expression of pride.

He looked at his arm, which was attached to the divine weapon, the butterfly longbow.

"Father, we've already missed the best timing to submit. We should still stay in the Starry Hills."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely exterminate the Kambia family and occupy the entire Kambia dukedom to take revenge for our tribe!"

"At that time, our entire clan will submit to Lord Ning Shi!"

Engo was dumbfounded. He did not expect Bruce to refuse to move.

Bruce's idea was simple. He wanted to move before because Duohuang had not been unified and Ning Shi needed help. He didn't want to move now because Ning Shi had already gained a firm foothold.

If the half-elves went over at this time, they would not make any contributions and would instead be suspected of currying favor with the powerful.

Seeing his father's sullen expression, Bruce said with confidence, "Don't worry, father. With me around, the tribe will definitely get better and better."

"Lord Ning Shi and I have a very good relationship, and Duohuang will always be our way out. If we encounter any difficulties in our survival, we can move over at any time."

Upon hearing Bruce's promise, Engo didn't push further. The future belonged to the young, and it was time for an old man like him to return to his divine kingdom.

The capital of the Ole Empire, Tiger City.

Tiger King Palace, Tiger Might Hall.

The king of the Ole Empire, Acker Tygore, was sitting on the throne. Below him, the Minister of Military Affairs, Javid, was kneeling on the ground.

Unlike Joerger, Acker was a new king who had just ascended the throne five years ago. He was only 34 years old, an age where he was young and full of ambition.

It was as if there was an engine in his throat, and his voice rang like a great bell when he spoke.

"Alright, Javid, you can get up. Even if you kneel to death here, you can't change the fact that the Eastern Expedition Army has been defeated."

Acker's ascension to the throne was largely due to the support of the Minister, Javid.

For the past five years, the two of them had worked together seamlessly and trained the Empire's army to be extremely powerful.

In this defeat, Acker had first summoned Javid alone to discuss countermeasures. By doing so, he was trying to save him some face, and had no intention of blaming him.

Javid was aware of this, but he still pretended to kneel down and admit his mistake before standing up and saying, "Your Majesty, the situation is out of control."

"Duohuang City was equipped with magic core cannons and tall city walls. It was extremely difficult to attack on flat terrain."

"Unless we mobilize an army of tens of thousands of griffins and coordinate with more than 200000 ground kamikaze troops, we might be able to take them down in one fell swoop. We can use the ground troops to deplete the firepower of the magic core cannons while the griffin army in the sky launches a surprise attack."

"However, this way, the army will suffer great losses."

Acker didn't say anything. As the ruler of a country, he wouldn't act rashly just because of a moment of success or failure.

In his eyes, the army was just a chess piece in his hand.

Javid tried to figure out the king's thoughts and carefully said, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's worth it to expend too many troops just to take down Duohuang."

"Our main forces need to deal with the pressure from Brad and Elven Empires. We've already lost more than 100000 soldiers, so we should stop the losses in time."

Acker didn't directly answer if they should send troops to retaliate. Instead, he asked, "I heard that Ning Shi, the City Lord of Duohuang City, was recruited by the third Prince of Brad, Alesia?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. It's precisely because of this that I've proposed to send troops with the elves."

"Send a diplomatic mission to acknowledge Ning Shi's position as the City Lord of Duohuang," Acker said expressionlessly. "If he's willing to submit to the Empire, he'll be directly conferred the title of Marquis of Duohuang. He can also be granted all the land between our western border city and Duohuang."

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Acker believed that as long as he offered a high enough price, Ning Shi would give up the little Prince Alesia and turn to him, the king.

Ning Shi being able to repel the 300000 men alliance army meant that he was worth being roped in.

Acker had always been very generous with talents.

Brad Empire's capital, Lion City, Polycoria Palace, Three-eyed study room.

King Joerger put down the news briefing in his hand and said to the guard beside him, "Garen, how's the situation on Alesia's side?"

Garen was extremely burly, and his muscles were bulging, making his armor look bloated.

"Your Majesty, everything is going well with His Highness Alesia. Ever since he received the Lionheart Blade, he has completed many arrangements according to your plan."

"As for taming the City Lord of Duohuang City, Ning Shi, it was a complete accident."

Joerger laughed, his white beard moving even though there was no wind, and his expression was somewhat proud.

"I'm in a high position and am watched by countless eyes. I could only take the risk and guide my less noticed Alesia to obtain the Lionheart Blade and work for me in the dark."

"It's just that this son of mine is too good for nothing. Even now, he probably still thinks that he's succeeded in making me a mere figurehead, and is secretly pleased with himself."

Joerger stroked his beard and sighed, "If Alesya had the ability of Lord Ning Shi, I would be much more relaxed."

Since it involved the king's family matters, Garen did not comment. He maintained his precious silence.

"Tell Alesia that Ning Shi can be made the Marquis of Duohuang, and his land will be the entire deserted north plains."

"Even if Ning Shi is already a bloodline servant, we still have to treat him with respect and preserve his dignity. We can't be too harsh on such talents."

Garen bowed in acknowledgment and left with the order.

In the Moon God Palace in Biyue City, Silverdew received the news that the Full Moon Army had retreated. She did not blame Olicia, who was kneeling on the ground and asking to resign.

"Olicia, you've done well. You've avoided the unnecessary sacrifices of the army. As for your request to resign from the army, I don't agree. Why don't you temporarily put down the army and make a trip to Duohuang as an envoy?"

"If Ning Shi is willing to hand over the remaining surviving star elves, not only will we acknowledge his position as the City Lord of Duohuang City, but we will also help him establish a duchy."

Neither Silverdew nor Joerger mentioned Anjelo's death. In their positions, weighing benefits had become their instinct, and kinship was only a decoration.

Following the reactions of the various forces, Ning Shi received a system notification.

[You've defeated 300000 soldiers belonging to the allied troops of the two empires and gained the recognition of the three empires. You've completed main task 4. Experience points 2 million. The maximum number of servants has increased to 10000. You've received a bloodline armor blueprint.]

63 Lena's Determination

The number of servants had increased by 5000. For the Undying Trump Troop, Ning Shi wanted elite soldiers only. He planned to slowly select the candidates.

[Bloodline battle armor: a battle armor that is bound to the host's bloodline. It can evolve and grow in bloody battles. The materials are as follows: one advanced magic core, 1 catty of cloud gold, 300g of mithril, 100 catties of meteoric iron…]

Looking at the long list of materials, Ning Shi knew that the blueprint of the bloodline armor could only be put aside for the time being.

He had no advanced magic core, and had never even seen cloud gold before.

Ning Shi had always found it strange that the advanced magical beasts in this world were nowhere to be found. He had not seen a single one at all.

All the advanced magic cores were controlled by the core members of the three great empires. Snow Fog was only a child of a normal star elf elder, so she was not aware of the secret of the advanced magic nuclei.

After all, Duohuang was a place of exile for the three great empires. For example, Hilker, the president of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce, had been exiled to Duohuang as it was considered a remote area far away from the political center of the Empire.

There were too few people in Duohuang who knew many of the core secrets.

Ning Shi had already asked Amy to pay attention to related news, but there was no result yet.

After the war ended, Ning Shi logged out of first perspective and let the system start to hack.

At the same time, Rose City, Count Tagore's mansion.

The Rose Knights' leader, Count Tagore, and his eldest son Figo invited Lena to their house to discuss some matters.

Lena was wearing a fiery red training suit today. The loose clothing couldn't hide her explosive figure. Her hair was tied up high, together with her slender neck, and her delicate facial features, everything matched beautifully.

Lena was almost 1.8 meters tall, and she exuded a confident and wild temperament from the inside out. She was like a red flame that was burning intensely, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Most men would unconsciously feel inferior when they meet her.

"Count Tagore, is there something you need from me? The competition is the day after tomorrow. I still have to cultivate."

Even after coming to the Rose City, Lena still hadn't changed her personality and style. She was straightforward and didn't pretend to be polite.

Tagore touched the commander's seal on his waist and pretending to be profound, said, "Lena, you've been in Rose City for two months. In these two months, under our nurturing, you've advanced from a level 1 bloodline to a level 2 bloodline."

"If everything had went according to our previous plan, the probability of you winning in the arena battle is very high."

"It's a pity that the royal family still intervened, and the time for the battle has been brought forward. Because of that, your chances of winning the dukedom are already very slim."

Tagore spoke unhurriedly, giving off a domineering feeling that he had the whole situation under control. He described the current situation in the hope of putting some pressure on Lena.

Unfortunately, Lena's expression was still proud and confident, and she wasn't moved.

Tagore was not in a hurry and continued to analyze, "The arena battle will be using a competition system of two wins out of three, and there is a 30 years old limit on the age of the participating external aid."

"You haven't been cultivating for long, and your personal strength can't catch up with Allie and Gray. We won't be able to get this point from you."

"If you still want to be the Duke of Rose, you must get both points from the battle of external aid!"

Tagore paused and slowly took a sip of rose tea before continuing.

"I've already found out about your brother Gray's external aid. One of them is the second son of the Kambia family, Val. Val is a cultivation genius. He's 26 years old this year and has already advanced to the Level 6 Bloodline – blood-devouring poisonous vine. His professional level has reached level 27. He's perverted and bloodthirsty, and his combat strength is terrifying."

"The other one is the third Prince, His Highness Alesia. It was rumored that Alesia did not want to participate at first, but was forced by His Majesty Joerger. However, no matter what, it has been decided that he would be Gray's external aid."

"Alesia also has a Level 6 Bloodline – golden nine-eyed lion. Half a year ago, he killed a powerhouse with a Level 7 bloodline in three moves. His combat power could be as strong as mine."

Tagore pretended to sigh. "After the royal family announced their support for Gray, he now controls nearly half of Rose City's power. Our chances of winning are extremely slim!"

Then, he changed the topic. "There is always a way out. We still have a slight chance to win, but we need your cooperation."

After Tagore finished speaking, he stared at Lena. However, the seemingly polite but disdainful smile on Lena's face made Tagore's speech sound like a clown's performance.

He was a little angry, but he suppressed it and went straight to the point.

"My clan has an advanced magic core. With a secret technique, it can allow you to possess the power of a Level 6 Bloodline for a short period of time. With this, you can defeat Gray and Allie!"

"My eldest son, Figo, is 29 years old today, and he can participate as external aid. His profession level has reached level 28, and with the powerful one-on-one ability of the tiger bloodline, he can definitely defeat Val. This way, you can win two out of three battles, and you can still obtain the title."

"It's just that an advanced magic core is a rare treasure. Although I'm the clan leader, I can't ignore the interests of my clansmen and give you the clan's treasure that has been passed down for many years."

"Why don't you marry my eldest son, Figo, and we'll be a family. That way, no one can object if I give you the advanced magic core."

As his father finally revealed the purpose of this conversation, Figo stared at Lena's exquisite face with infatuation. He knelt on one knee and said affectionately, "Lena, I've already broken up my previous marriage and chased my ex-wife out. All of this is for you! Believe me, you're the one I love the most. Marry me, and I'll make you the happiest woman in Rose City."

This was the custom in the game world. If a noble kicked away his old lover for his new lover, not only would he not be called a scumbag, but his actions would also be praised as true love.

The nobles in the game world could marry more than one woman to continue the so-called noble bloodline. Their logic was that, under the premise of being able to marry more than one woman, they still chased away their ex-wife, which showed how much they loved their new lover.

Figo's affectionate act was put in the wrong place. After Lena understood Count Tagore's intentions, she turned around and left.

She only left behind one sentence.

"My heart already belongs to someone else. You guys can keep the advanced magic core for your own use."

Figo was dumbfounded. He did not understand Lena's choice, so he stopped her and shouted.

"Lena, you are throwing away the title of Duke of Rose. It symbolizes the honor of the snake bloodline, and it rules the vast and prosperous rose Rose City territory."

"As long as you agree to my proposal, the position will be at your fingertips. Supreme power, endless wealth, all of it will be yours!"

Lena's expression turned cold. She raised the golden snake sword in her hand and retorted, "It's not the bloodline that's honorable, but the strong-willed heart. It's also not the title that rules the Rose territory, but the sword in one's hand!"

"A mere Duke's position won't be able to shake my determination. Give me five years, and I can take down ten Duke territories with the sword in my hand!"

After she finished speaking, she left without even looking at Tagore and Figo's ashen faces.

After returning to her residence, Lena wasn't affected by Count Tagore's words. She walked into the training courtyard and prepared to continue her training. 𝔫𝓞𝑣𝓔𝐋𝑢𝓈𝒷.𝐂𝑶𝑚

An old man with white hair and a white beard walked in.

His appearance was old, but his voice was full of vigor. "Lena, why was Count Tagore looking for you? "

Seeing the old man, Lena smiled happily and said, "Teacher…"

The old man in front of him was called Gu Bin, and he was a distant bloodline of the Alice family.

According to seniority, Duke Dubo had to call him granduncle.

Gu Bin had a Level 9 undying cloud snake Bloodline, and was extremely powerful.

After the death of Duke Dubo's family, in order to continue the Alice family, he observed the character and talent of the three illegitimate children and finally chose Lena.

He became Lena's teacher.

Gu Bin stroked his beard and sighed after listening to Lena's description.

I know what Count Tagore is thinking. I thought they would care about their reputation. I didn't expect them to be so embarrassing. Maybe the pressure from the royal family and Gray is too great."

Lena asked curiously, "The three forces are supporting us, the three illegitimate children respectively. They want us to be their puppets and control the power of the Duke. Isn't this normal? "

Gubin shook his head. "Tagore wants his son to marry you. His main purpose is for you to give birth to a grandson for him. His grandson will be the Duke."

"After that, he'll probably find an opportunity to let his grandson restore the Tagore family name and indirectly achieve the revival of the Tagore family. What an ungrateful wretch."

"This matter is related to a grudge from a hundred years ago."

"A hundred years ago, Tagore's grandfather, Cliff, was the second Prince of the Ole Empire. He failed in the battle for the throne and fled to Rose territory."

"At that time, the Duke of Rose, Lord Jason, was Cliff's good friend. Out of friendship, he took the risk and took in the second Prince's family."

"In order to repay the emperor's kindness, as well as to remove the new Ole emperor's suspicion, Cliff announced that he would become Lord Jason's henchman, and his family would serve the Duke of Rose for generations. Lord Jason was very happy and immediately said that the head of the Rose Knights would be the Tagore family's patriarch for generations."

"Duke of Rose was so kind to them, but not only is the Tagore family not grateful, they've also been plotting against the Duke's family business. They're really bastards!"

Lena finally understood. As a noble royal family, the Tagore family was definitely not willing to be under someone else. They did not even want to enact a puppet.

They wanted to usurp the throne and become the new Duke of Rose.

Gu Bin had obviously misunderstood. He followed his own line of thought and analyzed, "No wonder the royal family will support Gray. The royal family will definitely not let the Tagore family grow in Brad Empire."

"Once the Tagore family takes control of the Rose territory, the Brad Empire will suffer a great loss if they decide to return."

Lena nodded, and after understanding the reason behind the powers, she smiled.

Her smile was so bright under the sunlight.

"Teacher, to me, the arena battle is just training. With my current strength, I can't contest the title for the time being, so I won't think too much about it."

"I just want to become stronger now!"

A meaningful smile appeared on Gu Bin's face as he said, "That might not be the case."

"Lena, when I went out this time, I heard a piece of news. The brother Ning Shi that you talk about every day has defeated the 300000 men allied army of the Ole Empire and the Elven Empire, and has become a domineering figure in the region."

"According to my observation, there are many intelligence scouts from Duohuang in Rose City. It won't be long before your brother Ning Shi comes to find you!"

For the first time in two months, Lena received news about Ning Shi. She immediately lost the mood to cultivate and pulled her teacher's hand, asking him about it.

64 Another Gathering

Ning Shi exited the game and looked at the time. It was already six o'clock in the evening. He quickly drove to Huachao Restaurant in Dongcheng Area.

Today was the 22nd of August, the day of his monthly gathering with his two best friends.

Although he had already become a transcendence with great strength and had become the principal of an Awakener School, he was still an ordinary person in Ning Shi's heart.

It was still a great pleasure to have a meal and chat with friends.

!!

The High-tech Development Zone where the school was located was relatively remote, and it took nearly 50 minutes to drive to the destination.

Huachao Restaurant was a buffet restaurant specializing in Long Island cuisine.

Because of its good packaging and operation, Long Island cuisine had become very popular in Yunmeng Kingdom in recent years, and it was usually expensive.

The dinner buffet at Huachao Restaurant cost 398 Yuan per person, which was not cheap at all.

Many people were quite repulsed by the cuisine of Long Island, thinking that it was not as extensive and profound as the Yunmeng Kingdom's food. Ning Shi did not comment on it. He was just a foodie. 𝐍𝑂𝑣𝑬𝔩𝓤𝓈𝒷.𝑐𝑜𝗆

Most of the restaurant owners, chefs, and employees were from the Yunmeng Kingdom. As long as the restaurant focused on food and drinks and did not export culture and ideas, Ning Shi would only eat.

...

Walking into the shop, the overall style of the decoration was mainly red, black, and white, with red lanterns and pale-yellow wooden windows. It had the unique style of Long Island and was combined with modern fashion elements.

It was seven o'clock in the evening, the peak time for dining. Many couples were sitting in waiting seats in front of the restaurant.

"Hello, Sir. Do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, in Room 3, Mr. Yang. I'm his friend."

"Please wait a moment… Mr. Yang has arrived. Please verify your identity first, and then you can go in. Did you bring your ID card? If you don't have it, you can just tell me your ID number."

Ning Shi was shocked. He asked in confusion, "I'm just having a meal, why do I need to verify my identity?"

The waiter pointed to the banner at the door and said, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble, Sir. Due to the awakeners, the prices in our shop have changed. Therefore, we need to verify your identity.

Ning Shi's eyes fell on the poster on the display.

"Ordinary people: 398/person.

"Non-strength-type awakeners: 698/person.

"Strength-type awakener: 1698/person."

...

In the last column of the poster, there was a small remark.

"The price adjustment of our restaurant is in consideration of cost and does not involve any discrimination. To ensure the speed of serving, we can only serve up to 30 strength-type awakeners at each meal time.

"Please verify your identity before entering the store. Please forgive us for any inconvenience."

Alright, even restaurants discriminate against strength-type awakeners!

Ning Shi also understood the restaurant's approach. If they did not make a price adjustment, with the appetite of strength-type awakeners, these buffet restaurants would soon be bankrupt.

Ning Shi didn't bring his ID card and gave his ID number to the attendant. He continued to ask, "Can you verify if I am an awakener with just an ID card?"

These days, Ning Shi was either playing games or busy with school matters, so he didn't pay much attention to society.

The waiter explained, "Yes, sir. The government has already issued regulations on the management of awakeners. As long as you are an awakener, you must register with the government within a time limit. If you do not register, you will be subjected to a maximum of three years of detention.

"Moreover, only registered awakeners can purchase spiritual crystals at a discounted price from the government. Most of the current awakeners have completed the registration, and their identity and the type of awakener ability will be displayed on their ID card.

"Even if there are some who miss their registration occasionally, the probability of encountering them in our restaurant is relatively small."

Ning Shi poked his head out curiously and looked at the computer of the waiter. He saw that there was a golden frame on his ID photo, and in the upper right corner, there was a fist symbol.

...

"Hello, Mr. Ning. You are a strength-type awakener. There are 17 strength-type awakeners in the store now. As long as you agree to the price of 1698 Yuan per person, you can go in.

What else could Ning Shi say? He could only say that he had to eat to his heart's content today and figure out the price-performance ratio…

He followed the waiter into the shop.

"Oh, ke ya Kusama! (There's an important guest here)"

The waiter leading the way shouted, and the rest of the waiters followed suit.

"Oh, ke suppress Kusama!"

Ning Shi didn't like it and could only accept it. Long Island restaurants liked to do this.

Yang Yunzhi and Chen Wei were already sitting inside when he entered private Room No. 3. The two of them were talking and laughing, their faces glowing red and their bodies exuding energy.

"Shitou, here you come! Hurry up! Quickly sit down! The tablet is with Dazhi. Dazhi, hurry up and order, I'm starving!"

Chen Wei took the initiative to greet him. Compared to the past, he was now exuding a sense of confidence and brashness.

Ning Shi was keenly aware of it. He asked with a smile, "Old Chen, what good stuff did you encounter?"

...

Before Chen Wei could say anything, Yang Yunzhi answered.

"The awakening potion has had its price reduced recently. Old Chen bought another bottle and successfully awakened after drinking it. He's still in his excited phase!

"F*ck! Awesome, Old Chen! Congratulations!"

Ning Shi was truly happy for his best friend. Although the awakening potion could be taken multiple times, the probability of a single awakening did not change. For adults, the probability of awakening was not high.

Ning Shi himself had also taken a bottle of potion, but it had no effect. His parents had also taken it, but they had not awakened.

Including Yang Yunzhi, who had already drunk two bottles of potion and was still an ordinary person.

After becoming an awakener, even if one's abilities were not good, just the benefits of having a healthy body and a long life were enough to make people go crazy.

Ning Shi understood Chen Wei's excitement very well. He asked, "What ability has Old Chen awakened? Is he a strength-type like me?"

When Ning Shi asked this, the private room suddenly became quiet.

Chen Wei's face was a little twisted, as if he had just died. Yang Yunzhi's lips were tightly shut, trying to hold back his laughter.

In the end, Chen Wei decided to go all out and said, "My ability is the extremely rare transformation-type. I can choose an image or species to transform and obtain the corresponding ability after the transformation."

...

"This ability is awesome. Why do you look so embarrassed?"

Ning Shi asked, puzzled. The ability of the transformation-type was really powerful when used well.

Yang Yunzhi couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. He calmed himself down and asked Ning Shi.

"Who is Chen Wei's favorite character?"

Chen Wei was a fan of comics and animation. When he was in school, he didn't even listen to the lectures in class and just read comic books. After graduation, he especially loved watching Long Island anime.

Ning Shi remembered that his favorite character was Railgun – Misaka Mikoto, the protagonist of A Certain Magical Index.

Railgun was powerful, lively and cheerful, and she was always at the forefront of the popularity rankings of various anime characters. The key was that she was a female character.

Ning Shi was dumbfounded. "Old Chen, don't tell me you've transformed into Railgun?!"

Chen Wei wiped the corner of his eyes and said, "It would be great if it was Railgun. I wanted to become Railgun. But for some reason, I suddenly thought of Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors in One Piece.

Charlotte Linlin. The female character in one piece was as strong as a monster and very talented. When she was five years old, she destroyed the giant island, Elbaf, and instantly killed Jarul, the hero of the giant race. She was known as the Natural Born Destroyer.

Most importantly, the woman's image was that of an ugly fatty!

...

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Ning Shi's true self as a bad friend was exposed, and he smacked the table and laughed wildly.

"I'm sorry, I've received professional training. I don't usually laugh unless I can't help it! Hahaha!

"Old Chen, Old Chen, I didn't expect you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to also defect to the revolution!

Now that the matter had been made clear, Chen Wei didn't feel as hopeless as before. After all, they were all his good friends. He argued shamelessly.

"I didn't have that kind of intention at all. It was my first awakening, and I didn't have a teacher to teach me. I just wanted to have fun, so I activated my transformation ability in Railgun's image.

"How would I know it would turn into a Big Mom!

"No one told me that before reaching Level 7, the transformation-type could only choose one form!"

Ning Shi caught the main point and said awkwardly, "Old Chen, that's not important. Quickly transform and let me see. I've never seen a real Big Mom before!
