The reward for the hidden mission scratched Wang Xiao’s heart like a kitten’s claw. However, he did not hatch the beast egg to complete the mission immediately. Instead, he first pondered over the plan of increasing the territory area.

The two of them arrived at the edge of the new territory. Looking at the vast wasteland, Wang Xiao frowned slightly.

If the new area was a ring-shaped expansion centered on the original territory, they only needed to continue expanding on the original foundation.

However, this territory that was hundreds of kilometers long extended from the side of the original territory, directly turning their territory into a long and narrow strip.

The original city facilities were all on the side of the territory. If they continued to expand according to the conventional method, the cities located in the two sections would be nearly a thousand kilometers apart. If an accident happened, it would be very difficult for them to support one another.

However, if they did not build cities and defensive facilities, in the future, if an enemy entered their territory, it would almost be equivalent to giving up the newly added territory. It would give the enemy a chance to gain a foothold.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiao did not have any good ideas. He tilted his head and asked Zhou Xiruo, “Do you have any good suggestions for such a large area?”

“I think we should continue to build cities.”

Zhou Xiruo thought for a moment and said, “Firstly, exploring the wasteland requires a large number of people. Secondly, the two sides of the territory are too far apart. Be it development or guards, we can’t not have people here.”

“Good point.”

Wang Xiao nodded in agreement. Before Zhou Xiruo could speak, his tone changed. “But how do you resolve the problem of mutual support?”

“We can—”

“Even if we continue to increase the population, we can’t guarantee that we’ll be invincible. Due to the overall shape of our territory, as long as the enemy focuses their firepower on one side, it’ll be very difficult for us to provide effective support.”

Zhou Xiruo’s idea was rejected before she could say it. She immediately looked a little unhappy. “Then what do you think we should do?”

“That’s why I asked you!”

Wang Xiao chuckled shamelessly and patted Zhou Xiruo’s shoulder. “My [Lord Core] has just leveled up. I want to study what changes have happened. I’ll leave the construction of the territory to you! Best of luck!”

Zhou Xiruo looked anxious and was about to refuse when Wang Xiao continued with a serious expression, “I believe in your ability and you can definitely complete this difficult mission. Of course, you don’t have to be anxious. Just give me a plan tomorrow morning.”

“Tomorrow morning?”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned when she heard this. “Doesn’t that mean I only have one night?”

“That’s right.”

Wang Xiao smiled brightly and nodded. “So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go back to think of a way!”

“Wang Xiao! You…”

Zhou Xiruo widened her eyes and was about to fly into a rage. However, she seemed to have thought of something and the words that were about to come out of her mouth finally turned into a helpless sigh. She whispered, “I understand.” Then, her figure flashed and she left the territory.

Wang Xiao waited for a while more. After confirming that Zhou Xiruo would not secretly return, the smile on his face started to be replaced by a solemn expression.

In fact, he was not in a hurry to plan for the new territory. However, the upgraded core had already caused such a huge commotion. Next, he was going to hatch the diamond quality beast egg for the first time. No one knew what would happen this time.

Therefore, before he began to hatch the egg, he needed to find a reason to send Zhou Xiruo away.

With a flash, he arrived at the other edge of the new territory. Only then did Wang Xiao take out the diamond quality beast egg. This was the furthest from the “main city area”. If anything really happened, the losses could be minimized.

Of course, if the destructive sandstorm from before appeared again, Wang Xiao could only admit that he was unlucky. After all, even he, a lord, was helpless against such a destructive power.

As he thought to himself, Wang Xiao had already placed the diamond quality beast egg on the ground. Previously, he did not have the time to take a closer look at it at the headquarters of the Lord’s Shop. He only felt that the energy aura of this beast egg was very rich and its appearance was different from ordinary beast eggs.

Now that he placed it in front of him and observed it carefully, Wang Xiao truly discovered the unique qualities of this beast egg.

The entire beast egg was half the height of a person and was crystalline like obsidian. However, if one got close, they would discover that there were vaguely milky-white floppy patterns in the depths of the beast egg.

The colors of these patterns were very light and could only be seen from a specific angle. They twisted and intertwined, but they seemed to be secretly hiding a certain pattern.

Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this. For some reason, when he saw this abstract pattern, he suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it many times before.

However, Wang Xiao had only obtained this beast egg a few hours ago.

Moreover, the abstract pattern on the beast egg was also naturally formed. How could he have seen it in advance?

Puzzled, Wang Xiao could not help but observe it more carefully. The familiar feeling became stronger and stronger, but he racked his brains and still could not remember where he had seen it before.

Helpless, Wang Xiao could only suppress this doubt in his heart first. He casually tapped the beast egg and the relevant introduction information popped up.

“[Cloud Beast]?”

When Wang Xiao saw the name of this mutated beast, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

Under normal circumstances, the names of soldiers would reflect their characteristics. For example, the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] was a very typical example. From the name, one could tell that it was a wolf-shaped mutated beast with the ice and lightning attribute.

However, the name [Cloud Beast] was a little vague. Although it also sounded like a mutated beast, Wang Xiao could not guess its form and attributes. At least in the ranges of beasts he knew of, the soldiers of the Blue Planet did not seem to have the attribute of “cloud”.

After thinking for a while and having no clue, Wang Xiao decided not to think about it anymore.

He slit his wrist and prepared to sign a [Blood Contract] with this beast egg. However, after thinking about it, Wang Xiao first opened the defensive field of the [Protection Ring] before dripping blood on the obsidian-like beast egg.

Drip!

With a soft sound, the blood seeped into the surface of the beast egg the moment it landed.

Wang Xiao’s expression turned cold as he hurriedly retreated. However, after waiting for half a minute, the beast egg did not move at all.

“Could it be that it was crooked just now?”

Wang Xiao looked at the surface of the beast egg and suddenly doubted his memories. After thinking for a moment, he swung his wrist in the direction of the beast egg and immediately, a few drops of blood dripped onto it.

When the blood landed on the surface of the beast egg, it still seeped in with a whoosh. The beast egg was still silent and motionless.

Wang Xiao was silent for a moment and had a suspicious expression. He thought that perhaps there was a price to pay. Then, he made the wound on his wrist deeper. He took a few steps forward and poured the blood seeping out of the wound on the surface of the beast egg.

With a large amount of blood seeping in, the silent beast egg finally trembled slightly. Then, a light blue virtual screen popped up directly above the beast egg.

[Contract in progress (1/100)]…
