136: Mass production of monarch-class
Half an hour later.
"Lin Chuan, that's enough."
Xia Siye finished his adjustments and looked at Lin Chuan with anticipation.
This time, he planned to last at least an hour and a half.
"Don't stand downwind, or I can't guarantee what will happen."
Then, Lin Chuan got up and sprayed the 'mosquito repellent' in the direction of the wind.
"What is this, mosquito repellent? Why did you bring this?"
Xia Siye asked, confused.
There were indeed mosquitoes in the Netherworld, but they were the man-eating kind, and mosquito repellent wouldn't work on them.
"I brought it before... Let's wait and see."
Lin Chuan wasn't 100% sure it would work, so he could only try it first.
Five minutes later.
A torrent of Nether Beasts rushed from afar towards their location.
The stirred-up dust covered the sky.
Many hunting squads thought the Nether Beasts were launching a major attack and immediately returned to the Yu Ming Army's outpost to report the situation.
One military camp after another instantly went on high alert.
Such situations happened frequently, and they were already used to it.
"When will these days end!" an old soldier complained.
"Don't make a sound, do you want to die?"
"Damn it, they said if we performed well, there'd be a chance for a reduced sentence... If I had known, I would have rather died of old age in prison..."
"Do they provide you with such good food and drink in prison? Live one day at a time, I've figured it out anyway. Dying in battle is fine, I'll just get a good reincarnation in my next life..."
Many soldiers were prisoners hoping to atone for their crimes, some with good talent, considered to be making their last contributions...
Xia Siye stared dumbfounded at the front, where the torrent of Nether Beasts crashed directly into Old Hei, as if attracted by something, determined to get through even if it meant death.
"Damn, what is this?"
He didn't need to think to know it was the effect of the 'mosquito repellent' Lin Chuan had just sprayed.
Thankfully, he hadn't sprayed it on himself to court death...
"Hehe, it's mosquito repellent, take it and use it."
Lin Chuan said with a smile, casually tossing it to Xia Siye.
Xia Siye quickly caught it, afraid it would break.
"If there aren't enough Nether Beasts, just spray a little on Old Hei. Don't spray too much, or it'll be troublesome if you summon Monarch-rank Spirits."
Lin Chuan instructed. If Monarch-rank Spirits were summoned, they would only be able to run away early.
"Old Hei, don't fall asleep, occasionally take a few steps and Move around."
After saying that, Lin Chuan completely ignored it.
Xia Siye didn't ask what the item was, but carefully put it away, as if holding a bomb.
Next, Lin Chuan could finally be a hands-off boss.
Fortunately, the Netherworld also had internet access, otherwise Lin Chuan wouldn't know how to pass the time.
Xia Siye had only been out for half an hour when he came back, exclaiming he couldn't take it anymore, and handed Lin Chuan a large bag of soul orbs, numbering three to four thousand, with even one or two Commander Rank ones mixed in.
Nether Beasts were still rushing in continuously, completely fearless of death, constantly killing each other during their charge.
"Little Spirit."
It was almost dark, so Lin Chuan had Little Spirit equip Old Hei with Sword Armor.
With the bonus from the Virtual-Reality Sword, the clearing effect was many times better.
So, with this automatic monster-grinding cheat enabled, Lin Chuan and Xia Siye lay down in their respective tents and directly began to rest...
Deep in the Netherworld, a palace built entirely of gray-black giant stones.
Inside the palace stood a stone coffin, surrounded by swirling gray mist, with Nether Spirits continuously throwing soul orbs into the stone coffin.
If anyone could perceive it, they would know that all those soul orbs were Commander Rank, and many were even Monarch Rank.
Inside the stone coffin, a pair of indifferent eyes suddenly opened.
"The scent of the breath of life? Has a Nether King fallen?"
However, the aura was too faint, flashing by, making it impossible to investigate.
Then, it continued to fall into slumber...
The next day, Lin Chuan was still asleep when Xia Siye burst into his tent and threw him a large bag of soul orbs, a full five or six thousand.
Going to work so diligently, very good, very good.
However, Xia Siye's face was indeed a bit pale.
"Lin Chuan, the surrounding Nether Beasts have all been cleared out."
"It's fine, we'll just change locations. Sigh, the refresh rate is too slow."
Xia Siye: ...Damn it, is that what I meant?
"This stuff is too dangerous, you keep it safe." Saying that, he handed the 'mosquito repellent' back.
Just a few sprays caused a Nether Beast riot; Lin Chuan's earlier mention of Monarch-rank Spirits was too conservative.
If he sprayed more, who knows what King-level Nether Beasts might emerge.
Lin Chuan hadn't expected the effect to be so good, it was a bit frighteningly good.
One had to know this was only a tiny bit of water of life, less than one-thousandth of a single fruit.
If the life fruit were truly fully exposed, even the Lord of the Netherworld probably wouldn't be able to sit still.
Nether Spirits detested all living beings, yet yearned to resurrect and become living beings. Isn't that schizophrenia?
Perverted!
"Alright, then we'll change locations and spray once a day. Old Hei, don't sleep, let's change places, let's go..."
Lin Chuan made a cheerful decision.
"You take it easy, I'm still just a small Silver Rank."
Xia Siye was truly impressed; ever since Lin Chuan entered the Netherworld, the style had become very strange.
None of the Netherworld rules seemed to apply; Lin Chuan was acting as if he had entered his own home turf.
Regarding this, Xia Siye had indeed guessed correctly; the Netherworld truly was Lin Chuan's home turf.
Strictly speaking, it was Old Hei's home turf.
At this moment, inside Old Hei's Nether Domain Space, over a thousand Commander Rank Nether Spirits were poised for battle, like an army.
Such power would be a considerable fighting force anywhere.
However, Lin Chuan was not satisfied.
Mutual devouring, until they are promoted to Monarch Rank!
Lin Chuan gave the order.
Immediately, over a thousand Commander Rank Nether Spirits began attacking their 'companions' indiscriminately, without hesitation.
Every Move was lethal, starting with the most vicious Move.
"Tsk..."
Lin Chuan watched for a while, then no longer paid attention.
He only wanted the final result; the process wasn't important, and he hoped it would bring him a surprise.
Currently, Commander Rank combat power was of no help to him; only Monarch Rank was barely acceptable...
Half an hour later, Old Hei moved to an area with a relatively dense concentration of Nether Beasts.
Next, the process from yesterday repeated.
Lin Chuan was too lazy to even leave his tent to look, letting Xia Siye do as he pleased.
However, Xia Siye seemed to enjoy it immensely.
He was experiencing the feeling of getting stronger every minute and every second; this wonderful taste was probably something Lin Chuan, the big cheater, couldn't appreciate, haha...
Now, Xia Siye could only comfort himself this way.
Lin Chuan expressed: Hehe o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o
Inside the Nether Domain Space, the slaughter had already ended.
Ten Monarch-rank Spirits stood quietly, awaiting orders.
Even if commanded to commit mass suicide, they would not hesitate for a moment.
"My Lord!"
The Monarch-rank Spirits were clearly much more intelligent; sensing Lin Chuan's will, they immediately knelt collectively, bowing their heads in submission.
"Nether One, Underworld Two... Nether Ten!"
Lin Chuan casually named them.
He even had them project numbers from one to ten onto the clothes on their chests, for differentiation.
Otherwise, with their similar shapes, naming them would be meaningless.
"Thank you, my Lord, for granting us names!"
Over a hundred Commander Rank Spirits created a single Monarch-rank Spirit, and Lin Chuan was very satisfied.
Being able to mass-produce Monarch-rank Spirits was enough for Lin Chuan to walk unhindered in the Netherworld.
Lin Chuan even considered whether to trick the Yu Ming Army into handing over the soul orbs they had seized.
However, he thought about it and decided against it.
soul orbs were raw Materials for making Soul Nurturing Pills, and they were also in high demand internally. Aside from fruits or potions, Lin Chuan currently had no other resources he could exchange in large quantities.
As for fruits and potions, Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't take them out to exchange for low-grade soul orbs; they were not on the same level.
As for high-grade soul orbs, like King-level ones, Lin Chuan was very interested. He wondered if his military merit was enough to exchange for them.
