Chapter 190: Chapter 137: The Golden Ancient Tree Breaks Through the Ground, Hidden Attributes Skyrocket

"Holy cow, this cup has so many abilities!"

"Not only can it make it rain on the spot, it can even create a flood."

"Whoever has this cup could call themselves a Little Rain God, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration."

Shen Xing gazed at the Celestial Cyan Jade Bowl in his hand, his eyes glinting.

’Clearly, if this item is used well, it’s a veritable superweapon on the battlefield.’

’The power of the first Effect, [Rain Summoning], goes without saying. A massive rain field three kilometers in diameter could completely cover an entire battlefield.’

’In the rain field, plants can accelerate their growth and friendly units’ recovery speed skyrockets. Meanwhile, enemies will have their movement restricted, causing their survivability to plummet.’

’Paired with the War Drum, its power could be pushed to the absolute limit.’

’The next feature was even more outrageous. A tiny little cup could actually hold such a vast amount of water.’

’According to the item description, the cup’s maximum capacity is Level * 1,000 cubic meters. If used by a Level 19 expert, it would be equivalent to holding nearly 20,000 cubic meters of water.’

’That number might not mean much on its own.’

’But for comparison, a standard swimming pool has a volume of about 2,500 cubic meters.’

’That means the water in this cup could fill eight standard swimming pools, making it comparable to a small, man-made lake.’

’You can just imagine it: if Shen Xing suddenly pulled out the cup in the middle of a fight and dumped it on an enemy’s head, he could fucking drown them to death!’

’And... the item description says that before using this Effect, it needs to be filled with liquid in advance.’

’But it doesn’t specify *what kind* of liquid.’

’So what if I went to the Black Water River and filled it with that non-buoyant water... or just filled it with lava...’

Shen Xing imagined the scene, his heart pounding with excitement. He couldn’t wait to test it out.

But unfortunately, this item was Level 19.

In other words, it could only be used by an expert at the Great Perfection stage of the Peak of Junior High.

Grand Lord Shen was impatient, but he could only wait until later to try it.

’Next, I’ll go test the Effect of the Tears of the Rain God. Let’s see if I can get the Golden Ancient Tree to grow!’

He clapped his hands together and, with a satisfied expression, returned the [Rain Saint] to his backpack.

Then, he pushed his wheelchair and headed toward the center of the territory.

He hadn’t gotten far when he heard heavy THUD, THUD footsteps in the distance, as if some behemoth were rapidly approaching.

He turned his head and saw a giant with center-parted hair striding quickly toward him. A single eye dominated its massive face, taking up a third of its surface.

"Lord, good news, great news!"

One-Eyed Logan hadn’t arrived yet, but his booming voice already carried over. "I don’t know what just happened, but I suddenly had a moment of inspiration, and a huge amount of Forging Skill flooded my mind."

"The bottleneck I was stuck at for years was broken, and I instantly broke through to High Level Blacksmith!"

"Hahaha, Logan is a genius after all!"

He danced with joy, exclaiming, "A High Level Blacksmith! Even a City Lord would treat me as an honored guest!"

"When I get back to Black Iron City, I’ll definitely teach those Dwarves a lesson!"

"Oh?" Shen Xing noticed his last sentence and asked with narrowed eyes, "Are you sure you want to go back to Black Iron City?"

"That’s right!" Logan nodded gravely, then quickly added, "But please rest assured, my Lord. I’ll come back after I’ve returned to Black Iron City and gotten my revenge."

"Fine. Then I’ll grant you your wish," Shen Xing said with a smile, then waved his hand.

[You have expelled territory member Logan the Stonebreaker from the territory...]

At that moment, a ball of mysterious white light rose from the Cyclops’s body, as if something were being drawn out from within him.

The excitement on Logan’s face gradually vanished. His single eye widened slightly, replaced by a look of disbelief.

"Huh? Where’s my insight? Where’s my forging experience?"

He frantically patted himself down, then clutched his head and exclaimed, "It’s gone! It’s really gone! I’m an Intermediate Blacksmith again! What in the world is happening?"

Then, Logan raised his head.

Looking at the Lord sitting in his wheelchair and watching him with a half-smile, he instantly realized something.

"Oh! By the Mother of All-Seeing, could it be that the insights I just had were granted by you, Lord?" he asked in disbelief.

"What do you think?" Shen Xing retorted.

Logan was stunned, then cried out, "Heavens, it really was a gift from you! This is incredible, it’s a miracle!"

"If those Dwarves or Alchemists knew that this territory actually has such a magical ability, they would definitely flock to it!"

He came to his senses and quickly pleaded, "Lord, please recruit me back into the territory! I will definitely work hard for you!"

"So, do you still want to go back to Black Iron City?" Shen Xing asked with a smile.

"Well..." Logan hesitated, then explained, "Actually, I want to go back to Black Iron City not just to get even with those Dwarves, but more importantly, to bring my family here."

"The Lord is so good to me, and many of the Beastmen like to listen to my jokes. I can’t bear to leave this place."

"Oh? You have family in Black Iron City?" Shen Xing asked.

"Yes," Logan replied. "My wife, Jenny, and our two children."

"Oh, right, let me show you a picture of my kids. They’re very cute!"

Saying this, he took out a shiny brass pocket watch.

He flipped open the cover, revealing a slightly blurry group photo.

Four figures of varying heights stood side by side.

Logan stood in the back, his left arm around the female Cyclops next to him, his right arm around two little Cyclops children, grinning from ear to ear.

Shen Xing glanced at it, then silently looked away. "Go back to work. Build more Demon Cannon Platforms, and get the Hell War Chariots built as soon as possible."
