Chapter 26 - ???

In the Blazing Sun City, the gate of summoning.

Zhou Zhou stood in front of the white portal with Bai Yung and Lu Chong behind him.

Throwing 200 sword shield soldiers into the gate of summoning, he retained the 3 recruitment books gotten from the scarlet lord's loot.

'They will act as containers if there are no more subjects with high potential.'

Placing the entire 200 summoned soldiers under his manipulation, he said.

"Bai Yung, harvest their promotion energy."

Stepping forward, Bai Yung took out exactly 51 summoned soldiers before stopping his blood covered spear.

"Thank you, my lord!" Bai Yung bowed excitedly towards Zhou Zhou.

"Black iron-tier opponents can no longer increase your promotion energy meaningfully, so, you won't be leveling up for a while," Zhou Zhou said.

"I understand," having learned from Hui Teng about what happened after his advancement, Bai Yung knew what was coming the moment he advanced.

'And for the guardian dragon to level up, I won't be retrieving the promotion energy from Green bronze-tier opponents.'

Nodding at Bai Yung's response, Zhou Zhou sent Lu Chong forward.

'For the lord!'

Shooting forward, Lu Chong pierced through the summoned soldiers until there was nothing but blood and corpses around him.

Sensing the strength coursing through his body, he enjoyed the feeling of attaining the Green bronze-tier advance grade.

"Thank you, my lord!" recovering from his intoxicated state, he bowed towards Zhou Zhou.

"Alright. You can both leave," Zhou Zhou said as he chased away the soldiers.

Retrieving the loots from the corpses, he headed to his lord's wooden house.

Sitting on a chair in his living room, he took out the scarlet lord talent sphere.

[Do you want to purify it?]

"Purify!"

He said expectantly.

The next second, a golden light flashed from the scarlet lord talent sphere.

After the golden light disappeared, Zhou Zhou suddenly realized.

The blood-colored light on the scarlet lord talent sphere had actually disappeared.

Its information has also been updated.

[Treasure Name: Lord talent sphere – Monster Ranch]

[Treasure Grade: White silver-tier]

[Treasure Description: A lord talent sphere purified by the Supreme Will. After absorbing it, you can obtain a White silver-tier lord talent.]

..

"Monster ranch? What kind of lord talent is this?" Zhou Zhou was puzzled.

He did not think too much about it and chose to use it.

A golden text notification appeared.

[Do you want to absorb this lord's talent sphere (White silver-tier)?]

"Yes!" He said.

The next second.

The White silver-tier lord talent sphere immediately turned into countless silver light spots and surged into his glabella.

Zhou Zhou opened his eyes again after some time, then immediately opened his lord's personal information.

His lord talent had already been updated!

[Lord Talent: 100% drop rate (legendary-tier), Gnome alchemy workshop (Green bronze-tier), Monster ranch (White silver-tier)]

"My third lord talent! Superb!" 

Zhou Zhou was excited.

Then, he opened the details of the talent.

[Lord Talent: Monster ranch (White silver-tier)]

[Monster Ranch: Your territory has the ability to build a special building monster ranch. When you place a kind of fog monster in the monster ranch, the monster ranch will absorb the scarlet fog at night and nurture a different number of fog monsters of the same race on the second day.]

He almost wanted to use this lord talent immediately upon seeing it.

Raising desert fog lizards!

The scarlet lord was gone, so the scarlet fog would not give birth to new desert fog lizards. 

He has been worried about what to do with the source of free promotion energy from both the desert fog monsters and the sword shield soldiers in the future.

Everything was solved with this development; he could totally use the monster ranch to rear the desert fog lizards!

Killing the newborn desert fog lizards every day would steadily provide him with water, flesh, blood, mist core, sword shield soldiers, and promotion energy!

Such a perfect plan!

"My lord, I have something to report!"

At this moment. Bai Yung's voice came from outside the door.

"What is it?" Zhou Zhou asked.

"There's an unfamiliar human here who claims to be a monster rancher and your subject. However, I've never seen him before, so I came here to confirm his identity." Bai Yung said.

Monster Rancher?

Zhou Zhou's guessed.

He stood up and walked to the door. 

When he pushed it open, he saw Bai Yung standing in front of him and a young man stood behind Bai Yung.

He had an ordinary face and a strong body.

He wore a silver shirt and had a silver whip hanging from his waist. His bearing looked a little fierce.

However, when he saw Zhou Zhou, his expression became extremely respectful.

"I'm monster rancher, Mu Gu."

"Greetings, my lord!"

Zhou Zhou looked at him and his personal information appeared.

[Subject: Mu Gu]

[Life Profession: Monster rancher]

[Profession Class: Black iron-tier advance grade]

[Battle Class Name: Monster shepherd]

[Strength Level: Black iron-tier advance grade]

[Skills: Special building – monster ranch, black iron-tier advance grade (fog monster – communication, taming, control...)]

[Loyalty: Dead loyal]

[Potential: Diamond-tier advance grade]

Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up.

A dual-profession talent!

Moreover, not only could the other party build a monster farm, but it could also turn normal fog monsters into elite fog monsters or even leader fog monsters?

This was a talent that could increase the chances of loot dropping!

He came back to his senses and said to Bai Yung. 

"He's a subject who just joined us."

"I see." Bai Yung looked at Mu Gu and apologized, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

"It doesn't matter." Mu Gu smiled.

Then, he looked at Zhou Zhou.

"My lord, the monster ranch is ready. Do you want to take a look?"

"Bai Yung, come with me." Zhou Zhou said.

"Yes, my lord." Bai Yung nodded.

Then, the three of them walked out of the novice lord's protective barrier.

They had just walked about 100 meters when they saw a vast ranch entrance appear in front of them, with a wooden sign on the entrance with the words "Monster Ranch" written on it.

[Building Name: Monster Ranch]

[Construction Level: Black iron-tier advance grade (special)]

[Building Effect 1: It can nurture 500 black iron-tier fog monsters of the same race by absorbing the scarlet fog at night!]

[Building Effect 2: The monster ranch can be upgraded as the territory levels up. After leveling up, the ability of the monster ranch master will increase, and the number of fog monsters that the monster ranch can nurture will also increase.]

[Building Range: 2000m x 2000m]

[Current Fog Monster Race: Nothing yet.]

[Current number of Fog Monsters that can be cultivated per day: 500]

[Building Upgrade: Upgradeable with territory upgrade.]

[Prompt: This building cannot nurture dragons, titans, angels, elves, fairies, deities, and other monsters with superior bloodlines.]

[Building Description: This place only breeds monsters!]

Zhou Zhou clicked his tongue in wonder.

This special building could actually be upgraded!

As expected of a White silver-tier lord talent!

"Monster ranch… What does this mean?"

Bai Yung's eyes were blank.

Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and told him the function of this building.

Bai Yung was first shocked, and then his eyes widened.

"Doesn't that mean we can harvest a lot of promotion energy every day? The advancement of the soldiers will only get faster!"

"That's right. But it isn't enough. For us to standout, we must have combat strength way above our grades."

Remembering the prowess of the guardian dragon, Bai Yung bowed, "…Understood, my lord."

He was about to leave and catch a desert fog lizards when Zhou Zhou seemed to have thought of something else.

"If you see a black-tailed fog scorpion capture it. We can put the black-tailed it in the second monster ranch after it is built."

"Yes, my lord!" Bai Yung said as he left.
