"I always imagined those kinds of buildings to be myths and legends!"
Man Nao couldn't believe he would be making use of a building that he usually only heard in stories and songs.
The lord is blessed by the heavens!
He thought to himself.
I might be able to level up to the Black iron-tier advance grade if the effects of the building are true.
Wu Tu calculated as he sensed how close he was to his breakthrough.
"You both should go get some rest."
Zhou Zhou said as he sent the both of them out.
After the two of them left, Qin We and Sun Can requested an audience with their lord.
"Come in."
Zhou Zhou accepted their request, inviting them to his living room.
"My Lord!"
Qin We and Sun Can greeted with a bow before the sword shield soldier began his report.
"With the help of the map, we were able to clear out all the scattered monsters in the blazing sun desert!"
"The only fog monsters left are the regional scarlet lord and the fog monsters protecting it."
Qin We said.
"That's good." Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
Then he asked the both of them.
"How was your progress?"
"I broke through to the advance grade of Green bronze-tier. I'm just short of a thousand promotion energy to attain the White silver-tier elementary grade."
Qin We went first.
"I made a break through to the Green bronze-tier intermediate grade. I'm still far from the amount of promotion energy needed for my next advancement."
Sun Can said, reporting after Qin We.
'I now have 3 soldiers at the Green bronze-tier and 4 soldiers at the White silver-tier. Including Nezario, that will be 5 combat forces at the White silver-tier.'
Zhou Zhou mused after hearing Qin We and Sun Can's progress.
Looking at the soldiers, he informed them about the Hall of Trust and a chance for the soldiers with a special tier skill to increase their potentials.
As expected, Qin We and Sun Can were both shocked speechless for over 10 seconds before erupting in excitement.
'I have a chance to advance my potential! And my lord is freely giving me this chance as long as I grow stronger!'
Qin We and Sun Can had almost the same thought as their gaze towards Zhou Zhou became more subservience.
[Lord Hint: Your subject, Qin We's loyalty has increased to 100]
[Lord Hint: Your subject, Sun Can's loyalty has increased to 100]
'I guess doing the impossible does make one seem like a divine being.'
Zhou Zhou smiled seeing the loyalties of the 2 soldiers.
"Inform Bai Yung and the other soldiers about the chance of advancement when you head to the Hall of Truth."
He said to Qin We and Sun Can.
"Yes, my lord!" Qin We and Sun Can responded before taking Zhou Zhou out of the living room and showing him the corpses piled in the carts numbering in the twenties.
Pulling the corpses into his spatial ring, Zhou Zhou had Qin We and Sun Can wait for him in front of the gate of summoning before returning inside his living room.
After 10 minutes, he extracted all the loots.
In today's hunt, Qin We and Sun Can had cleared a total of 624 scattered monsters.
Among them, there were 156 desert fog lizards, 389 black-tailed fog scorpions, and 79 sandmen!
After Zhou Zhou extracted the loots from the corpses, he obtained a total of 1,947 black iron-tier mist cores!
16,540 units of flesh (black iron-tier elementary, intermediate and advance grade)!
427kg water bag!
389 portions of the black-tailed fog scorpion's poison sac (black iron-tier elementary, intermediate and advance grade)!
389 bottles of antidotes (black iron-tier elementary, intermediate and advance grade)!
168 sword shield soldier class change certificates!
68 sword shield soldier recruitment books!
414 poison crossbowmen class change certificates!
137 poison crossbowmen recruitment books!
12 black iron-tier advance grade sand stealth techniques!
25 black scorpion poison crossbows of Black iron-tier advance grade!
25 black iron-tier advance grade antidote formulas!
145kg of sand crystal!
79 sandification and sandman summoning skill books!
In addition, there were 4 Black iron-tier advance grade sandification skills, and 4 Black iron-tier advance grade sand summoning.
Zhou Zhou kept the skill books at a corner of the spatial ring.
Black iron-tier and even Green bronze-tier skills that weren't as useful as 'deadly state' had no business with him.
Then, he took out the map of the blazing sun desert.
At this moment, the paths on the map had already changed.
[Area Map Name: Blazing sun desert map (current exploration rate: 82%)]
'From 59% to 82%, it should reach 100% as long as we get rid of the last sandman lord.'
He thought.
Even though there would not be any rewards if he reached 100%.
But this was like seeing the complete jigsaw pattern after the last piece was put in place.
Anyone would feel a sense of accomplishment.
Leaving his courtyard, he arrived in front of the gate of summoning.
Qin We and Sun Can were already present.
Wasting no time, Zhou Zhou immediately used the recruitment books he had just obtained to recruit 68 sword shield soldiers and 137 poison crossbow soldiers.
"Qin We, you go first."
He said to the advance grade green bronze-tier soldier.
Unsheathing his sword, Qin We, like a wolf, rushed into the herd of mindless soldiers.
With no resistance or expression on the faces of the soldiers, he felt nothing cutting them down.
After slaughtering 110 of them, he finally reached the limit of his potential.
[Promotion Energy Storage: 107 / 3,000,000]
67 promotion energy points were seized after Qin We reached his potential's limit.
Zhou Zhou thought as the notification detailing the seized promotion energy appeared in front of him.
I wonder if only 10% of the promotion energy in the phantom storage will be absorbed by a White silver-tier combat professional because they were gotten from black iron-tier life forms.
If 100% of it is absorbed, then I would've made a f*cking killing. I will test it with Bai Yung tomorrow.
He continued his train of thought as Sun Can shot down the dazed soldiers with his crossbow.
After Sun Can killed off the other 95 dazed soldiers, he acquired a quarter of the promotion energy needed for his advancement.
Done with the soldiers, he returned to his courtyard.
Night fell.
The scarlet fog gradually appeared in the world.
Zhou Zhou, who was feeding Nezario the black iron-tier mist cores, suddenly saw Zhao Changshou walking over from afar.
"My lord, we didn't let you down!"
"The third monster ranch has been built and all three monster ranches have been upgraded to Green bronze-tier elementary grade!"
Zhao Changshou came inside the courtyard and said respectfully to Zhou Zhou.
"Let's go take a look."
Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up.
A moment later
The two of them arrived at the monster ranch.
Three monster ranches were 150% their previous sizes.
Moreover, not only did it cover a larger area, its architectural style was also a little more ancient.
Mu Gu was already waiting for Zhou Zhou here.
He immediately walked over when he saw his lord coming.
"Reporting to my lord!"
"All 3 monster ranches have been built and upgraded!"
"A total of 28,000 units of basic materials, 1,000 Black iron-tier mist cores, and 1 origin crystal have been consumed!"
Mu Gu said respectfully.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
He now had nearly 280,000 units of basic materials.
In terms of the black iron-tier mist core, he had obtained more than 3,000 of them this morning by clearing the monster ranches.
This consumption was naturally nothing.
"We can start harvesting sand crystals tomorrow."
"Elder Zhao, make sure every cubic meter of the wall is mixed with a bit of the sand crystal when you build it tomorrow!" Zhou Zhou said.
"Yes, my lord!" Zhao Changshou said respectfully.
With these 3 monster ranches, my soldiers will have the chance to increase their potentials and their grade.
I will need to balance it to avoid hindering Nezario's growth.
I can't rush it. I have to move one step at a time.
What will happen will end up happening!
Zhou Zhou mused as he watched the monster ranch absorbing the scarlet fog in the sky.
