Kaiyang City, Lord’s Shop.
Lin Xiang brought over a stack of item cards that were glowing green and placed them on the table. He casually spread them out and said, “30 green quality [Accelerating Growth] items. Check them. If there’s no problem, I’ll record it.”
“There’s no need to check. I trust you.”
Wang Xiao smiled and casually put the items into his territory. “You had to make a trip here in the middle of the night because of me. I’m really sorry.”
“Brother Wang, what are you talking about? Why are you being so polite considering our relationship?”
Lin Xiang chuckled indifferently. After a few seconds, he probed, “But then again—did you really not know Eldest Miss in the past?”
Wang Xiao looked helpless when he heard this. “You were the one who brought me to the Holy Capital for the first time. If I had known her long ago, would you not have known?”
“That’s true. You didn’t even know what the Holy Capital looked like. It really doesn’t seem like you’ve been there.”
Lin Xiang nodded in agreement, but he still had a puzzled expression on his face. “But if you didn’t know each other before, why would Eldest Miss pay attention to you?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! ”
Wang Xiao’s expression changed and he hurriedly waved his hand. “I think she’s the one who’s petty! Didn’t I tear down the wall of her house at the headquarters previously? It’s probably because of that matter that she hates me.”
“No, no, Eldest Miss is definitely not such a person!”
Lin Xiang waved his hand without thinking. “Although I’ve never seen Eldest Miss before, I’ve heard many rumors. Eldest Miss has been sensible and understanding since she was young. She’s definitely not such a petty person.”
“Sensible and understanding?”
When Wang Xiao heard these two adjectives, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. “Are we talking about the same person? With her reaction tonight, how can you tell that she’s sensible?”
“That’s why I said something was wrong!”
Lin Xiang spread his hands, his face filled with confusion. “The Eldest Miss we saw is too different from the rumors. I almost thought that they were two different people, but Minister Shen is very respectful to her. It’s obvious that she’s Eldest Miss…
“Could it really be two different people?”
Wang Xiao had a flash of inspiration and guessed, “Liu Yingying is the granddaughter of the boss of the Lord’s Shop, but don’t tell me he only has one granddaughter?”
“That’s impossible.”
Lin Xiang shook his head without thinking. “The boss might have more than one child, but there’s definitely only one person qualified to be called ‘Eldest Miss’.”
Wang Xiao pondered for a moment and realized that this was the case. For a moment, he did not know how to explain.
The two of them stared at each other in silence for a moment. Wang Xiao waved his hand and said helplessly, “We don’t have any clues now. We can’t think of anything even if we think about it. Let’s go home and sleep early!”
Lin Xiang nodded helplessly. Then, the two of them stood up and left the Lord’s Shop.
After bidding farewell at the door, Wang Xiao returned home.
He still had to talk to Chen Jinrong about Liu Yingying. However, they would only set off for the school exchange next week. There were still a few days. Therefore, compared to looking for Commander Chen, Wang Xiao had more urgent things to do now.
With a thought, Wang Xiao sank his consciousness into the territory and arrived beside the beast egg of the [Cloud Beast].
After this ordeal, the incubation time was reduced by a few hours, but the initial incubation time of two months still gave him a lasting impression. “Don’t worry, I’ll let you out immediately…”
Wang Xiao rubbed the smooth surface of the beast egg and muttered. Then, he took out 30 [Acceleration Growth] item cards and pressed them on the beast egg one after another.
Two months and nine days, two months and six days, two months and three days…
Seeing the incubation time decrease at an astonishing speed, Wang Xiao could not help but speed up the use of the item cards.
The 30 [Acceleration Growth] cards were crazily consumed. When Wang Xiao still had two to three cards left, the incubation time had also reached the last 15 minutes.
One [Acceleration Growth] item could reduce three days of incubation time. It was really a waste to use it to accelerate the “15 minutes”.
Therefore, after considering it, Wang Xiao still put away the remaining item cards and injected energy into the [Protection Ring]. After opening the defensive force field, he began to wait patiently.
As time slowly passed, Wang Xiao’s mood also became nervous. This was his first diamond quality soldier. As long as it could successfully hatch, it meant that his strength would advance to a new level!
It had to be known that ordinary lords at his age had bragging rights during their entire time as a student if they had a gold quality soldier. Even the descendants of those wealthy families with illustrious families only had one or two platinum quality soldiers at most.
What he was about to hatch was a real diamond soldier. Especially when he thought of Huang Tingwei’s majestic [Eight-Armed Vajra], Wang Xiao was so excited that his fingers were trembling!
Crack!
A crisp cracking sound made Wang Xiao snap out of his imagination. When he focused his gaze, he discovered that an extremely thin crack had appeared on the originally smooth surface of the beast egg.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As the crisp cracking sounds continued, the cracks on the surface of the beast egg became larger and larger.
Wang Xiao could not help but widen his eyes, wanting to witness this historic moment. However, he did not expect white smoke to suddenly spew out of the crack in the next second, almost instantly covering his entire vision!
“What’s going on?!”
Wang Xiao exclaimed and hurriedly retreated, only to discover that the defense field of the [Protection Ring] did not react. This meant that the white smoke would not pose a threat to him. At the very least, it was not judged to be within
the range of an “indirect attack”.
After discovering this, Wang Xiao almost immediately calmed down. After thinking for a moment with flickering eyes, he walked towards the location of the beast egg in his memory.
Soon, a pile of shattered black eggshells appeared in front of him. However, Wang Xiao walked around and did not find any traces of the [Cloud Beast].
“Did the incubation fail?”
A thought flashed through his mind, and Wang Xiao’s expression instantly turned ugly.
Almost at the same time, two system notifications sounded in Wang Xiao’s ears. They were mixed together like noise, but he still heard them clearly.
[Congratulations on successfully hatching.]
[Hidden mission completed. Please choose your reward in time.]
“It worked! It really worked!”
Wang Xiao reacted and cheered, but the ecstasy on his face was quickly replaced by confusion. Although the system had indicated that he had successfully hatched the [Cloud Beast], where had it gone?
Looking at the surrounding smoke that was so dense that it was like white clouds falling to the ground, Wang Xiao vaguely had a vague guess. However, before he could carefully think about it, a huge wheel with a diameter of nearly two meters appeared in front of him.
Unlike before, all the enhancement opportunities on the wheel lit up this time, as if they were breathing.
A light blue virtual screen quietly floated in front of Wang Xiao.
