Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Chapter 822: The Princess' Dinner and a New Call

Chapter 822: The Princess' Dinner and a New Call

In the warm and bright lord's office, Lei Xiao suddenly felt a chill and shivered involuntarily.

"It seems that I am being missed."

Touching his numb scalp, Lei Xiao, who was originally excited, frowned slightly.

This inexplicable chill made Lei Xiao re-examine his current situation.

"After the battle for the eastern region is over, apart from the people and things I have in my hand that can be called the hole cards, the only thing left is the Jiangli who just returned."

"Whether it is the main powerhouses such as Knotweed, Red Night, Randall, Erza, Lina, etc., or the soldiers of the Moon Wolf Clan, the Pterosaur Knights, the Goblin Legion, the Elite Wolf Cavalry Squadron, and even the specific location of the territory , have been completely exposed to the opponent's field of vision."

"This means that this time the opponent who is mobilizing a large number of troops must be well prepared. Not only will they counter my forces, but they will also prepare for a "scare" that I didn't expect. "

Thinking of this, the excitement in Lei Xiao's heart was swept away, and his face began to tense.

In other words, this time the situation of the enemy and us on the battlefield has completely changed.

Originally, I had accumulated a lot of money in the dark, but now I have been pushed to the forefront, while the opponent is holding unknown means.

"The opponent's apparent strength has already reached the size of 30 legions. What kind of cards are they hiding?"

Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, his face became more serious.

Although I have already dispatched a large number of scouts and members of the Shadow Squadron to disperse them on the only way the opponent's army must pass, the opponent's deliberately hidden methods will obviously not be easily discovered.

"Wangxing City on the Wangxing Corridor is the only passage connecting the area under my control to the hinterland of Lengyan."

"The width and depth of the Stargazing Corridor are extremely limited, which is not conducive to the deployment of the army. There are many cliffs along the way, which are also excellent places for the defenders to ambush. As the attacking party, how will the opponent act?"

After pondering in his heart for a while, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to reality.

"Forget it, the information I have at present is extremely limited. In the remaining three days, apart from searching for the "Wandering Gate", let's focus on obtaining information about the other party. "

"After obtaining enough information, I can make certain countermeasures and deployments in advance, in case the other party's tricks catch me off guard."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao relaxed a little, but his frown did not loosen a bit.

"I always have a bad premonition in my heart, I hope I can really get through this calamity smoothly."

Just when Lei Xiao frowned and thought of this, there was a light knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Lei Xiao straightened his reclining body, nodded slightly and said.

When the door was gently opened, a slender figure came in with a bowl of steaming soup.

The person who came was none other than Ariel.

"My lord, when I was in Wangxing City a few days ago, my subordinates once heard Qin Qian and Feng Ling, who are also the lords of the other world, accidentally mention a big summer delicacy called noodle soup, and asked about the recipe in detail."

I saw the fair cheeks of this Princess Leng Yan slightly red, she lowered her head a little shyly and said: "It happens that the lord has not eaten tonight, so this subordinate just, tried to do it once, although Rudy also helped Some are busy, but most of them are done by the subordinates themselves.

While talking, Ariel carefully placed the steaming big bowl in front of Lei Xiao, and added with a mosquito sound: "I hope that the lord can taste the taste of hometown and relieve the pressure in my heart." .

"You did it yourself?"

Looking at Ariel's shy and delicate face, Lei Xiao finally relaxed his frown and said with a smile, "I never thought that my dear Fifth Princess can cook besides knitting."

"My lord, please don't laugh at your subordinates. Your subordinates are also making progress, although cooking is really difficult."

Ariel scowled coquettishly, and her words began to break up again, and she said, "I don't really have much confidence in this bowl of noodle soup, so please don't dislike it, my lord."

After finishing speaking, Ariel took out a pair of well-polished wooden shoes from her bosom, handed them to Lei Xiao, and then looked over expectantly.

As a high-ranking princess of a country, Ariel, who has been pampered since she was a child, has indeed never cooked, and she has never even seen most of the kitchen utensils in the kitchen.

"Since it is your wish, then I will naturally not dislike it."

Lei Xiao took the tauzi, sniffed the aroma of the noodle from Niao Niao, and suddenly felt hungry.

This is a large bowl of very ordinary-looking homemade egg noodles. On the slightly soy sauce-colored clear soup, there are light oily flowers floating on it, and two poached eggs and a few slices of vegetables are neatly arranged on it.

It's just that the noodles in the soup are slightly...wider, like thick, hand-rolled noodles that haven't been processed very well, or it's more appropriate to describe it with a rolling pin.

"It seems that this girl has really put in a lot of effort. Although the appearance is a bit rough, I have to say that it's been a long time since I was able to see the noodles again."

While Lei Xiao was feeling emotional in his heart, he began to feast on it.

As for the taste of the noodle soup, just as you can see on the surface, it can be called a clear soup with little water and almost no taste, while the noodles are...very chewy.

Even so, a refreshing warmth rose from Lei Xiao's heart, and the pressure in Lei Xiao's heart was immediately diluted a lot.

When Lei Xiao put down his rice bowl again, the bowl was empty, not even a drop of soup left.

"Very good!"

Seeing Lei Xiao eat the fruits of his labor in one go, Ariel cheered excitedly, with a happy expression on her face.

And Lei Xiao, who felt satisfied in his belly, shifted his gaze before noticing it.

On the other party's fingers, there were obviously a few wounds that had just been made, and they had not fully healed.

"Ariel, thank you for your hard work."

Lei Xiao stood up from his seat and directly embraced him into his arms.

It wasn't until this moment that Lei Xiao found a sense of "home" in this strange and mysterious world.

After being tightly embraced by Lei Xiao, Ariel's slender body froze for a moment, then completely relaxed, and leaned against Lei Xiao's chest, whispering softly: "If the lord I like it, this subordinate will cook for the lord next time!"

"Okay, remember to add some salt next time."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, then dragged Ariel to the lord's suite.

In the early morning of the next day, the rising sun penetrated through the gaps in the curtains, forming dazzling spots, which were projected on the ground and also on Lei Xiao's pillow.

Feeling the warmth of the light, when Lei Xiao opened his eyes in the bedroom, he found that Ariel had left early again.

"This girl is not lazy at all."

Lei Xiao sniffed the warm lingering fragrance still lingering beside him, and sat up from the bed.

I saw that Lei Xiao practiced with his eyes closed for a while as usual, and then opened his status bar casually.

Name: Lei Xiao

After closing the status bar, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"The two new skills [Lightning Illusion Body] and [Sen Luo Zhan] obtained from the upgrade of the mansion have not been mastered in the future, and I will have to find time to practice it later."

"In addition, I'm not in a hurry to improve the strength of the fourth-tier one star. I should try to cultivate new fourth-tier powerhouses and third-tier elite squadrons first. This is the fastest way to increase combat power."

"As for myself, it is still unknown what new adventures I may have in the future."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao got out of bed and began to wash.

Not long after, Lei Xiao, dressed neatly, strode out of the lord's suite and started his daily routine.

Going straight to the lord's office, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to receive 60 first-order recruitment orders and a return crystal.

"After three days of accumulation, my unupgraded Tier 1 recruitment order has reached 180, which means that I can already summon an elite Tier 3 squadron again!"

"Then it's not too late. Let's meet the new subordinates before breakfast. I don't know what kind of force will be recruited this time?"

While looking forward to it, Lei Xiao immediately started to operate.

In the end, 180 Tier 1 recruitment orders were upgraded to 125 Tier 3 recruitment orders and 5,800 Tier 1 recruitment orders.

Afterwards, Lei Xiao carried out the reverse operation and obtained a lot of copper ingots again.

As for the potions produced by the three alchemist guilds, since Lixia, who was in charge of transporting them before, had no lords in other cities or near the other two cities, Lei Xiao planned to pick them up in person via the transmission network.

"By the way, after the mansion was upgraded, I haven't had time to check the resources needed for the next upgrade."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then opened the territory overview interface.

[Lord's Mansion Lv: 9 (You can receive 10 "Tier 2 Recruitment Orders" or 60 "Tier 1 Recruitment Orders" per day, and you can receive 1 "City Return Crystal" per day)]

[Owner: Lei Xiao "Physics: Tier 4, 1 Star", "Magic: Tier 4, 1 Star"]

ID: No. 0013076067

Population: 3782/4000

[Number of buildings: 79] (lord's mansion lv9, guardian defense mechanism lv7, light healing center lv3, tower of illusion lv3, half-elf arched longhouse x10, werewolf moisture-proof warehouse x50, guardian camp x15)]

[Surrender tribe: 2 "Yuebai tribe: 560 (surrender degree: 100 "Snow Feather tribe: 1050 (surrender degree: 100]

[Territory: 36 "Cold Flame: 33" "Others: 3 (Mountain Crystal City lv6) (Thorn Kingdom lv7) (Crystal Blue City lv15 (Miracle Building: Fortress of Light Chaser lvMax)]

[Materials required for upgrade: stone x1000000, wood x100000, thatch x100000, iron ingot x60000, copper ingot x60000, fine steel ingot x20000, extraordinary color ingot x1000]

"Compared to the previous level, the total number of stone materials required remains the same, the wood and thatch are all halved, and the iron ingots, copper ingots, and refined steel ingots are all doubled?"

Lei Xiao looked at the resources needed for the next mansion upgrade, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Needless to say the first three basic resources, they can be replenished anytime and anywhere, and there are a lot of reserves in the territory."

"The iron ingots and copper ingots among the three advanced resources in the middle are also needless to say, and the fine steel ingots are no longer difficult for me after controlling the entire area."

Lei Xiao's gaze moved, and finally landed on the last new unfamiliar resource.

"Extraordinary color ingot? The attribute bar shows that this is a level 4 rare resource, refined from extraordinary color ore, and there is still no clue about the place of origin."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao pouted slightly.

You know, level 4 rare resources include elf cores, enchantment crystals, dark green ores and other extremely rare minerals, and the difficulty of obtaining them is naturally not much lower.

"As for the large amount of rare resources stored in Crystal Blue City, I have also taken stock of all of them. There are no extraordinary ores or extraordinary ingots. It seems that it will take a little more work."

"But it doesn't matter. If you can survive this life-and-death battle, you can order it later. Right now, the most important battle is the main thing."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he walked out of the lord's office and walked downstairs.

Arriving at the mansion lobby on the first floor, after listening to the old butler's report of dishes, Lei Xiao ordered all his subordinates to gather in front of the three miracle buildings in the territory.

Next, it's time to welcome the brand-new third-tier elite squadron!

It didn't take long, until nearly 4,000 subordinates had assembled at the designated place, Lei Xiao, standing at the front of the team, nodded with satisfaction facing the rising sun.

There is a lot of darkness behind me, which makes people feel very ~ Before I know it, the power of the territory is already very good, so let me go one step further. "

Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao didn't hesitate, and directly used 100 shiny Tier 3 recruitment orders.

Dazzling golden doors of light suddenly lit up in front of Lei Xiao.

Just as Lei Xiao looked expectantly at the opened doors of light, he suddenly showed an unbelievable expression.

According to past experience, after the Summoning Light Gate is opened, the new subordinates should come out of it one after another.

However, apart from the dazzling golden light shining one after another, Lei Xiao's front was still empty, and he didn't see a single figure.

"What the **** does this happen?"

Seeing this scene, not only Lei Xiao himself, but also most of the subordinates behind him who were also summoned, all looked puzzled and began to look at each other.
