Chapter 74 Inheriting the Inheritance, Getting Rich Quick!
A few minutes later, more than a dozen prisoners were tied up and left on an open ground below the city wall.
This included a werewolf with second-tier extraordinary combat power, and the female mage who unleashed the fire tornado.
Oh, and there's also Gideon, the lord.
The guy was curled up on the ground, his eyes filled with resentment.
"What are you unhappy about? Do you feel like you didn't perform well?" Shen Xing pushed the wheelchair and slowly came to within two meters of him.
Gideon scoffed, "The victor is king, the loser is villain. There's nothing more to say."
"Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"
"Oh ho, quite the tough one." Shen Xing chuckled and ordered, "Xiao Hei, kill him."
The Black Moon Knight immediately raised the Shadow Sword and slashed at his neck.
Sensing the approaching threat of death, Gideon's tough demeanor vanished instantly, and he frantically begged for mercy, "No, don't kill me, I was wrong!"
However, the Shadow Sword did not stop at all and continued to strike.
"Don't kill me! I'll give you money!"
"stop."
The sword stopped less than five centimeters from his neck.
Shen Xing looked at him with a half-smile: "Weren't you very tough just now? Weren't you saying you'd rather die than submit?"
"Big brother—I was just kidding." Gideon's face was ashen, and he even peed a couple of times in fright. "I don't want to die! If you let me go, I'll give you all my savings."
"Really? Transfer 50 first to see our strength." Shen Xing gave a bank account number.
Gideon was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He hadn't expected this guy to be so blunt; this was blatant extortion.
But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
His body trembled, his eyes rolled back, as if his consciousness had left his body.
This is a sign that you're quitting the game.
A moment later, Gideon regained consciousness and said bitterly, "Brother, this is a Chinese card, my money can't be deposited. Do you have an international bank account?"
Shen Xing was slightly taken aback, and then remembered this as well; he and this Gideon were not from the same country.
Moreover, as a law-abiding citizen, he had never been exposed to the outside world, let alone opened an international bank account.
There was an awkward moment.
At this moment, Xia Wanyin leaned over and whispered, "I have an international bank account. If you trust me, you can have him transfer the money to my account."
Shen Xing glanced at her with some surprise, then nodded and said, "Okay, then you can receive it for me."
He could tell that Xia Wanyin was quite capable in real life and wouldn't be greedy for such a small amount of money.
Moreover, her territory is nearby, so there's nowhere for her to run away.
Xia Wanyin nodded and then gave an account number.
Gideon's eyes rolled back again, clearly indicating that he had exited the game.
After all, this was a matter of life and death for him, and he dared not delay it in any way.
After about half a minute, Xia Wanyin said softly, "I've received it. It's $50 in total."
Shen Xing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then gasped for breath!
"Take it from me! Five hundred thousand dollars?"
Are you sure it's a knife?
I originally asked Gideon to send me 500,000 Chinese yuan, but he sent me US dollars instead?
Damn, that's over three million!
Shen Xing felt a bit dazed, as if he had been hit with a hammer.
But he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "Transfer another 50 to me."
This guy looks really rich; he'll take half a million dollars without hesitation. We have to squeeze him dry!
Gideon's face fell, and he slumped down completely: "I—I have no money—"
"Are you kidding me?" Shen Xing glared at him. "Don't think I don't know. You often target the local lords, and you're bound to extort and blackmail them."
"After all those heists, this is all the savings you have?"
"I—I really don't have that much left," Gideon said bitterly. "I used up most of my savings on breakthrough materials and some resources. It's almost all gone."
"Transfer all of them, however many you have." Shen Xing showed no mercy.
Upon hearing this, Gideon's expression became even more distressed.
Previously, he had been threatening other players to force them to transfer money.
I never expected that it would be my turn so soon.
But as long as I can save my life, none of this matters.
I will make a comeback sooner or later, and then I will make those two scoundrels pay the price!
Gideon shuddered, and his eyes rolled back in his head again.
After a moment, Xia Wanyin spoke softly: "The second payment has also been received, only a little over 143,000 dollars."
Shen Xing nodded and looked back at Gideon on the ground.
This guy is practically drained dry.
"Can you let me go now?" Gideon pleaded. "I really transferred everything to you. I promise I'll never try to take anything from you again. I'll run far, far away!"
Shen Xing looked at him calmly, the smile on her lips turning into a cold killing intent: "Xiao Hei, kill him."
If you don't nip the problem in the bud, you're just planting the seeds of your own downfall.
I wouldn't leave such a security risk near my territory.
The Black Moon Knight raised his Shadow Sword and slashed down again!
"No, you bastard, I curse you to a terrible fate—"
Before Gideon could finish his curse, his head was severed from his body.
With a "thud," it turned into a cold corpse and fell to the ground.
At that moment, the entire area fell into a brief silence.
The prisoners stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with fear.
Xia Wanyin, who was standing next to her, trembled slightly, and her lips turned pale.
Shen Xing didn't speak, but stared at the headless corpse on the ground, watching the blood flow continuously from the wounds, gradually staining the earth red.
This was his first kill in the game.
Unlike killing monsters, taking down these lords gives a more realistic sense of killing.
It felt as if I had actually killed someone; I felt inexplicably suffocated, uncomfortable, and even wanted to vomit.
But he knew that since he had chosen this path, he would definitely encounter similar situations again.
I must adapt as soon as possible.
"Shen Xing, you don't need to think too much."
Xia Wanyin had already adjusted by now and said, "This guy deserved to die. I've been to other territories before, and the lords he targeted all died tragically, and they suffered inhuman torture before they died."
"This kind of scourge should be eliminated as soon as possible, so that he doesn't take advantage of the fact that he's not subject to the law in the game and prey on more people."
Shen Xing glanced at her with some surprise, not expecting this seemingly naive and innocent woman to be so rational.
He nodded, then looked back at Gideon's body on the ground, where a large amount of materials were scattered around.
This included a dazzling array of items, such as soul stones, soul fragments, and silver coins scattered all over the ground.
Not far away, there is also a simple-looking monocular telescope.
After the lord dies, the items in his backpack will automatically drop.
Shen Xing's eyes lit up, and he pocketed all of these items.
[Received: 3 Large Soul Stones]
[Received: Soul Stones * 1264]
[Received: 2561 Vinar Silver Coins]
[Received: Lantern (Level 5) *1]
[Obtained: Captain Jack Sparrow's Monoculars (Gold) *1]
..
"Good heavens, over two thousand soul stones and silver coins, plus a golden treasure!"
As Shen Xing gazed at the information about the spoils flashing before his eyes, his heart was once again filled with ecstasy.
Damn, no wonder this guy likes to target other lords; he's making money way too fast.
A single deal could yield millions in profit, and with so many materials, who wouldn't be tempted?
Of course, Shen Xing also knew that this was because Gideon had previously attacked other lords many times and accumulated a lot of wealth, which was why he had so much profit.
Moreover, he couldn't possibly plunder other lords like this guy did, in order to quickly acquire resources.
If one day they encounter an even stronger being and accidentally capsize in a ditch, they will suffer the same fate as Gideon.
"Let me see the properties of this golden item."
A flash of golden light appeared on Shen Xing's right hand, and a monocular telescope materialized out of thin air.
Made entirely of brass, it feels quite heavy in the hand, with a metal ring around each end, giving it an old appearance.
Captain Jack Sparrow's monoculars
[Quality: Gold]
【Item Effect: Eye of Insight (Can see through fog and invisible units through a lens; maximum detection range is 1000)】
Meter.
Lasts 60 seconds, cooldown 5 minutes.
【Item Effect 2: Illusion-Dispelling Light (Activates the magic in the telescope to shoot out a beam of light that dispels the fog and illusion units in front of it within a 5m*100m radius, and also suppresses the undead.
Cooldown time: 10 minutes
(Note: A little tip: The Eye of Insight can see through not only the fog, but also other things—but it requires a small trigger condition.)
"Hmm? The Eye of Insight, the Light that Dispels Illusions?"
"These two special effects are pretty impressive."
The first Eye of Insight, in particular, is an absolute godsend in the fog!
With it, you can easily survey the surrounding terrain and find resource points one by one.
Of course, compared to Xia Wanyin's abilities, they are still far inferior.
After all, this woman is practically a human walking radar, capable of easily finding all resource points within a two- or three-kilometer radius.
Furthermore, "Insightful Eye" has a cooldown period.
Regardless, this telescope is already very powerful and truly deserves its gold quality rating.
"Great, another useful item."
Shen Xing put it back into his backpack with satisfaction, then turned to look at the group of prisoners on the ground.
"Your lord is dead. Now you have two choices."
"Surrender, or die."
Upon hearing this, the prisoners on the field all showed expressions of confusion and fear.
"You're dreaming—I'd rather die than submit to you!" The second-tier werewolf, a transcendent being, lay on the ground, uttering a low, menacing voice.
His hair was already curled from the fires of hell, and his skin was covered with burn marks. His injuries were extremely severe, but his face remained defiant.
Shen Xing was not surprised.
These main force units, nurtured with all their might by the lord, will not submit to others.
Like Hellscream and Gorehowl, their loyalty to Shen Xing was ingrained in their very bones.
Even if he dies, these two orcs will choose to die with him.
Of course, Shen Xing would not show the slightest pity for this werewolf's toughness.
"Throw him into the mist, send him to join his master."
Bloodhowl immediately obeyed the order, picked up the second-tier werewolf, and threw it into the mist outside like a rag.
Before long, heart-wrenching screams echoed from within the mist.
Less than two minutes later, the screams gradually weakened and finally disappeared completely.
Bloodhowl even went over with a lantern to check, and only after seeing that the enemy was completely dead did he bring his body back.
"And you? Will you submit or go join your lord?" Shen Xing turned his head again and asked calmly.
The other prisoners trembled slightly, their hearts filled with fear.
They exchanged a glance, then shouted in unison, "We submit to our great lord!"
For ordinary troops like these, who don't have such a deep bond with the lord, there's a certain probability of recruiting them.
In addition, Shen Xing demonstrated formidable combat power and almost ruthless methods.
They could kill even extraordinary experts without hesitation, so they wouldn't hesitate to deal with these little Karamis either.
With a two-pronged approach, these prisoners collectively submitted.
"Very good, now I'll bring you into my territory."
Shen Xing opened the territory interface and sent them a recruitment invitation.
Beams of white light descended from the sky, enveloping them.
[Recruitment successful! 13 werewolves have joined your territory, increasing the territory's population by 13]
[Recruitment successful! Lena Yenet has joined your territory. Territory population increased by 10.]
..
All 13 werewolves recruited this time are Tier 1 creatures, with levels between 5 and 8, and their potential starts at a normal three-star level.
Among them are two elite one-star werewolves, which are quite powerful.
However, to Shen Xing's surprise, it was the second hint.
This was the first time he had recruited a named unit.
His gaze swept across the group of prisoners, finally settling on a tall female mage wearing a tattered mage's robe.
Her pale face had delicate features, and her eyes and brows carried a special charm.
She was lying weakly on the ground, her red hair scattered like petals, and her fair skin was revealed beneath her torn robe.
"This woman is unusual. What's her background?"
With some doubt, Shen Xing checked her attributes.
[Hero: Lena Yenet]
[Level: 9]
[Potential: Leader ★]
[Attributes: Strength 151, Spirit 235, Agility 134, Constitution 124]
[Skills: Advanced Fire Elemental Mastery, Fireball, Large Fireball, Fire Tornado, Pyroblast, Fire Wall, etc., a total of 13 skills —]
[Hero Skills: Flame Aura (Passive), Blazing Domain (Active), Cataclysm (Seal)]
[Talent: Fire Spirit Body (Immune to 50% fire damage; significantly accelerates leveling speed in areas rich in fire element)]
[Status: Severely injured, bleeding, magic backlash]
(Note: A mage who wields pure fire power seems to have a hidden past.)
Shen Xing: "o⊙!!!"
Staring at the dazzling array of character information and the increasingly terrifying skills, he was completely stunned.
"It's a hero unit? I'm not seeing things, am I?"
In the game "Mist Reincarnation", in addition to the common recruitable creatures and territory units, there is a special kind of creature.
They are harder to obtain than ordinary troops, but they are what every lord dreams of.
Even those extraordinary, expert-level lords may not possess it in their territories.
These extraordinary individuals are heroes.
Each hero unit has a complete life story and combat power far exceeding that of its peers.
This can be seen from the fact that Lena, who is only at the first level, has mastered a total of 13 skills.
In addition, they also have unique hero skills.
Each skill is a game-changing ability, possessing unpredictable power.
More importantly, they can also inherit some of the lord's privileges.
For example, using a lantern to explore, build territory, and dispatch workers.
Of course, their first command was to obey their lord.
Shen Xing felt like he had the luckiest day ever.
He made millions for nothing and also gained a large amount of soul stone resources.
Now we've found an incredibly rare hero unit.
And all of this originally belonged to Gideon.
However, because this guy didn't understand Shen Xing's strength and rashly launched an attack, he ruined the foundation he had worked so hard to build.
"Your things are nice, but now they're all mine."
Shen Xing chuckled and turned his gaze back to the female mage on the ground: "Let me see just how powerful the legendary hero skills are."
He opened the attribute panel, and the complete skill information immediately appeared before his eyes.
