Divine Beast Lord: 10000 Amplifier From The Start

When she heard that Wang Xiao had used the rules to take the initiative to admit defeat and escape from the secret realm, Zhou Xiruo immediately could not help but laugh. “As expected of the top scorer in the subject. Only you can think of such a method!”

“There’s no choice. It’s not like we could have fought Andu head-on, right?”

Wang Xiao casually shrugged and did not feel embarrassed at all. After all, when facing an opponent much stronger than him, it was already a huge success to be able to retreat unscathed.

After saying that, Zhou Xiruo did not say anything.

Wang Xiao found it strange. He turned around and saw Zhou Xiruo lowering her head with a complicated expression. It was unknown what she was thinking.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Wang Xiao asked in confusion, “Why do you look so troubled?”

Zhou Xiruo was silent for a moment before looking at Wang Xiao guiltily. “As your vassal lord, am I too weak?”

Wang Xiao frowned. “Why do you say that?”

“Because I can’t help you.”

Zhou Xiruo replied softly, the guilt in her eyes turning into grievance. “Your vassal lord should be able to help you, but last time, I could only stay at the back to support you. This time, I didn’t even have the ability to fight with you.”

“Moreover, it’s not just these two times. Every time we explore the secret realm, if not for your protection, I might not even be able to build a base!”

“But you’re the [construction lord]!”

Wang Xiao was caught between laughter and tears. “Isn’t it normal for buildings to take time? Moreover, what I value is your potential. When you grow into a high-level lord in the future, you might even be stronger than me!”

“But I want to help you now!”

Zhou Xiruo shouted with a sobbing tone, “I want to become stronger! I want to fight with you! I don’t want to be protected by you every time we encounter danger!”

“Uh…”

Wang Xiao was suddenly a little stunned. It was mainly because he did not expect Zhou Xiruo, who was usually weak and would occasionally throw a tantrum, to have such thoughts hidden in her heart.

After more than ten seconds, Wang Xiao returned to his senses. He sighed softly and advised helplessly, “Xiruo, I understand your feelings very well, but a construction lord needs time to slowly grow. If you’re too impatient, it will backfire.”

Zhou Xiruo’s eyes darkened. “I know, but I really want to help you.”

“I’m very gratified that you have such thoughts, but some things can’t be rushed.”

Wang Xiao patted Zhou Xiruo’s shoulder and subconsciously smiled evilly. “Fortunately, you met me.”

“What do you mean?”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned. Then, her eyes suddenly lit up as she thought of something. “You have a way to make me stronger?”

“I guess.”

Wang Xiao chuckled. “Do you still remember the mutated beast that came with the reinforcements during the lord competition?”

Zhou Xiruo recalled for a moment and nodded. Wang Xiao continued, “That mutated beast is called the [Burning Mist Griffin], but it only looks like a mutated beast, but it’s actually a fortification.”

“Fortification?”

Zhou Xiruo revealed a surprised expression. At that time, she did not faint when Wang Xiao fainted. The [Burning Mist Griffin] clearly looked like a mutated beast. Even its expression was so vivid. How could it be a fortification?

Seeing that Zhou Xiruo did not believe him, Wang Xiao explained the mechanical beast in detail.

Previously, he had not revealed it mainly because he had yet to obtain the production method, so he did not want to make false promises for Zhou Xiruo.

Although he had yet to obtain it now, he had already obtained Qi Lianjun’s guarantee. Moreover, because of this operation, his only orange item had been demoted to purple quality. If Chen Jinrong continued to go back on his word, it would be unreasonable.

At the moment.

After introducing the mechanical beasts, Wang Xiao paused for a moment before continuing, “If you can master the creation of mechanical beasts, you can create a batch in advance and store them in our territory as backup.”

“This way, when you go to the secret realm in the future, even if I’m not by your side, you can still summon mechanical beasts to buy yourself time to build a base.”

As Wang Xiao explained, Zhou Xiruo couldn’t help but begin to imagine that scene. Immediately after, the expression on her face was clearly excited!

Seeing Zhou Xiruo’s reaction, Wang Xiao chuckled and continued, “Don’t be in a hurry to be happy. I’m not done yet!”

“There’s more?”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned again. She hurriedly shook Wang Xiao’s arm and urged, “Hurry up and tell me! What other way is there that can make me stronger?”

“This time, it’s not a solution, but a person.”

Wang Xiao extended a finger and changed the topic. “Do you know that there’s a girl called Xu Junrou in Yuheng Academy?”

Zhou Xiruo recalled for a moment and shook her head. Although she was publicly acknowledged as one of the school belle of the Kaiyang Academy, she was usually introverted and did not have many friends. She did not even recognize her classmates from her own academy, let alone those from other academies.

Wang Xiao was a little surprised to receive this answer, but he did not probe further. He immediately explained, “Her talent is [Alchemist] and she can create very precise machinery. I once saw a mechanical spider she made that was dozens of meters tall!”

“Mechanical manufacturing? There’s such a talent?”

Zhou Xiruo revealed a surprised expression, but it immediately turned into a puzzled expression. “But what does this have to do with making me stronger?”

“Are you stupid?”

Wang Xiao stretched out his hands and said excitedly, “She can create machinery, but she knows nothing about fixed fortifications. You can build all kinds of construction fortifications, but the base can’t be moved at will. If you join forces—”

At this point, Wang Xiao clapped his hands together. “Think about it. A mobile fortress with all kinds of high-level fortifications. Not to mention a mere small secret realm, you can even dominate a medium-sized secret realm!”

Hearing this, Zhou Xiruo finally understood what Wang Xiao meant. The expression on her face immediately became excited. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s quickly find her!”

Wang Xiao revealed a troubled expression when he heard this. “I’m afraid we can’t do that yet…”

Zhou Xiruo was stunned. “Why?”

“Because she’s from Yuheng Academy.”

Wang Xiao sighed and said helplessly, “The academy’s ranking assessment is about to begin. She’s afraid that she will be misunderstood by others if she cooperates with us—but don’t worry! There won’t be any problems after the assessment ends.”

...

“We have to wait until the assessment ends…”

Zhou Xiruo pursed her lips. There was still more than a month before the academy’s ranking assessment. Although it was not a short period of time, fortunately, it was not very long.

Thinking that she would be able to increase her strength soon, the pressure in Zhou Xiruo’s heart dissipated a lot. She looked at Wang Xiao and said seriously, “Then I’ll increase my strength first. I’m your vassal lord. I definitely can’t embarrass you when working with others!”

“Okay.”

Wang Xiao chuckled and nodded. Just as he was about to suggest sending Zhou Xiruo home, the communicator in his pocket suddenly rang.
