Divine Beast Lord: 10000 Amplifier From The Start - Chapter 70

70 Suffering in Silence

Seeing Wang Xiao suddenly become excited, Zhou Xiruo could not help but be puzzled. She could not hear the system notification and naturally did not know what had happened.

“Wang Xiao? Are you alright?”

Zhou Xiruo probed with worry in her eyes, afraid that her lord would go crazy as soon as she advanced to level three.

“I-I’m fine.”

!!
Wang Xiao returned to his senses and waved his hand. He picked up the [Nirvana Mask] and covered his face.

As an orange light flashed, the hospital gown on Wang Xiao’s body turned into a gorgeous robe. His originally fair skin also began to turn slightly red, and his eyes revealed a proud elegance. A crystal clear ruby shone brightly between his eyebrows…

“Andu?!”

Zhou Xiruo was shocked and hurriedly retreated. However, when she looked again, she was once again looking at Wang Xiao, who was wearing a hospital gown.

“What’s going on?”

Zhou Xiruo widened her eyes and asked in surprise, “Why did I see Andu just now? Who are you? What did you do to Wang Xiao?!”

“I’m Wang Xiao.”

Wang Xiao revealed a mischievous expression and was very satisfied with the disguise effect of the [Nirvana Mask].

With this thing, if he encountered the invasion of the Crimson Star people in the future, even if he was temporarily no match for them, he could still deal with them for a while!

Taking a deep breath to calm his excited mood, Wang Xiao opened the interface and gave his authority to build a city-state to Zhou Xiruo. “I’ll leave my city-state to you. Use whatever materials you need.”

“Got it…”

Zhou Xiruo agreed and suddenly realized that something was wrong. “If you hand the city-state to me, what are you doing?”

“Sleep!”

After Wang Xiao said this, his figure instantly disappeared from the territory.

…

The next morning.

Wang Xiao, who had slept soundly, had just opened his eyes when he saw a young man sitting in the ward. Although the other party was dressed casually, it could not hide the sharp aura on his body.

Wang Xiao thought for a moment and probed, “You’re… Commander Chen’s adjutant?”

“Yes.”

The young man nodded and extended his right hand to Wang Xiao. “My name is Qi Lianjun. You can call me Adjutant Qi.”

“Hello, I’m Wang Xiao.”

Wang Xiao and Qi Lianjun shook hands. Then, Wang Xiao took out the list from under their pillows. “This is the list of spoils of war we used, but I can’t remember the amount of some materials.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as you have a rough number.”

As Qi Lianjun spoke, he took the list and glanced at it briefly before putting it in his pocket. “On behalf of Commander Chen, I thank you for your cooperation. Then I won’t disturb your rest.”

With that said, Qi Lianjun stood up and left. Wang Xiao hurriedly shouted, “Wait! Did you forget something?”

“Are you talking about the ten Mutated Beast Eggs?”

As Qi Lianjun spoke, he did not stop walking. “Before you woke up, I had already transferred to your territory.”

When Wang Xiao heard this, he opened the resource interface and saw that there were indeed ten additional beast eggs.

“Wait a minute!”

Wang Xiao shouted again, “Other than the ten beast eggs, Commander Chen also promised to give me the method to make mechanical beasts!”

Hearing this, Qi Lianjun finally stopped and turned around to look at Wang Xiao. He said seriously, “I’m very sorry. After internal discussion, the higher-ups of the military have decided that we can’t let this technology spread to commoners.”

Without waiting for Wang Xiao to speak, Qi Lianjun suddenly bowed deeply. “Regarding this, Commander Chen asked me to convey his apology on his behalf. Moreover, the commander has already compensated you in other ways.”

“Other ways?”

While Wang Xiao was stunned, Qi Lianjun had already left the ward. By the time he reacted and chased after him, the other party was already gone from the corridor.

“A guy who goes back on his word!”

Wang Xiao stomped his feet angrily, knowing that he had been tricked by Chen Jinrong.

Although Qi Lianjun said that it meant “the higher-ups of the military,” Chen Jinrong was the commander-in-chief of the Kaiyang Military Region. Wasn’t he the so-called higher-ups?!

However, even if he was angry, Wang Xiao could only admit that he was unlucky. Fortunately, he did not boast in front of Zhou Xiruo last night. Otherwise, he would have lost a lot of face!

Wang Xiao was sulking when his communicator suddenly rang. It turned out that Ma Yunle had already bought a population of 20,000 people and asked him when he would go over to collect them.

After agreeing to meet in the trading market in the afternoon, Wang Xiao entered the territory with a thought. Then, he was shocked speechless by the scene in front of him.

In just one night, there was already a city-state that occupied an area of ten thousand meters in the territory. The other city-state was also in the form of a rough prototype and would probably be completed in a few hours.

The appearance of these two city-states was similar to Kaiyang City.

The towering city wall was more than ten meters tall. Sixteen purple quality Flame Magic Towers stood on the four city walls. Magic flames burned fiercely on the top of the towers, looking like sixteen giant torches.

There were also three fortifications on the outside of the city wall, which were raised from the outside to the inside.

The fortifications closest to the city wall seemed to be products of the Crimson Star. From the outside, they looked like giant octopuses that had buried their bodies in the ground. Once an enemy approached, those giant tentacles would crazily wave and repel the enemy.

At the same time, Wang Xiao also noticed that the locations of these two city-states were also very particular. They happened to be within the range of each other’s fortifications.

In other words, once an enemy attacked one of the city-states, the other city-state would immediately attack.

Unless the enemy was powerful enough to face two city-states at the same time, no matter how many enemies there were, they would not be able to last long in this situation!

“Could she have been busy all night?”

Wang Xiao muttered to himself with a strange expression. He had only left last night and had jokingly told Zhou Xiruo to get to work. He originally thought that she would go back and rest when she was tired. He did not expect this girl to be so efficient!

Apart from being shocked, Wang Xiao’s heart ached a little. Not only for Zhou Xiruo, but also for the materials he had painstakingly saved.

These two city-states used nearly 70% of his wealth, and one of them was not completed yet!

However, although his heart ached, Wang Xiao had no intention of blaming Zhou Xiruo.

Firstly, although the cost of building it was a little high, the effect was still there. Secondly, the other party had been busy for the entire night. How could he say anything to her?

When he arrived at the city-state that was still being built, Wang Xiao immediately saw the busy Zhou Xiruo.

“School Belle Zhou! Thank you for your hard work!”

Wang Xiao went up with a smile and took out a few bottles of recovery potions. “You must be tired after working for so long, right? Hurry up and rest!”

“Go away!”

Zhou Xiruo rolled her eyes at Wang Xiao and said angrily, “You left a little girl here to work and went back to sleep yourself. Aren’t you embarrassed?!”

“I didn’t expect you to be busy here all night…”

Wang Xiao smiled guiltily and changed the topic. “Rest first. Leave all the physical work to me!”

Zhou Xiruo snorted and pointed at a mountain range not far from the city. “That mountain range is our blind spot. If the enemy has long-range methods, they can directly attack the interior of the city-state from above. Go and flatten that mountain!”

“Yes, sir!”

Wang Xiao cupped his hands pretentiously and turned to walk out of the city. Soon, he arrived near the mountain range.
