I Have A Game Clone

99 Travels and Geniuses

After receiving the news from Casey and knowing that the new soul ring with a new origin weapon was controlled by the Mountain Cluster Palace, Ning Shi felt pressure.

With Antonio’s help, Joseba would be able to develop the magic core cannons and the magic core fighter planes very quickly. By then, with the strength of the entire Brad Empire, the speed at which they could mass-produce magic core weapons would definitely be much faster than Duohuang.

Moreover, with his strength and talent, after obtaining the advanced version of the Bloodline Guidance Technique, it was hard to say when he would break through to the Supreme Bloodline.

Because of the problem of the origin weapons and the origin treasures, Ning Shi and the Brad royal family were already mortal enemies.

When the enemy became stronger, Ning Shi could not remain indifferent.

He decided to make the first move. Taking advantage of the fact that Joseba had not noticed him yet, he would use the power of the servant contract to secretly expand his territory and strength.

With a larger territory and a larger population, the speed of weapon production would naturally be faster, and it would be able to support a stronger army.

Now, Ning Shi had actually controlled a large piece of land in the Duke of Rose’s territory, which was equivalent to one-tenth of the Brad Empire in terms of area and population.

He took out the map of the Brad Empire and studied it for a while before deciding to travel.

He made a full circle around the Rose City territory and Duohuang then contracted all the nearby noble Overlords and major generals as his servants.

The game system also guided him in this way and gave him the main storyline mission.

[ Main storyline mission 6: Increase the number of servants to 15000 and the number of followers to 4. Current number of servants: 10054. Current number of followers: 2 people. ]

[ Must-kill mission: Snatch Sean’s weapon – soul ring. The soul ring has recognized its owner. You can only snatch it after killing the host. Mission time limit: 3 years. Punishment for failure: Spiritual Power -10, Physique -20 ]

Now that Sean was under the control of the Mountain Cluster Palace, Ning Shi didn’t have the chance to kill him.

Next, he would travel around, recruit servants, and strengthen his power.

Ning Shi planned the route well. Some places could be used with teleportation arrays, and some places had to be rushed.

It seemed that he had to bring a mount to save time.

Thinking of his followers, Ning Shi said to the guard outside the door.

“Call Sonya over. Tell her that I need information on the geniuses of the various regions.”

In order to find the new origin weapon as soon as possible, Ning Shi gave Sonya great power and rights and asked her to expand the Intelligence Department to investigate the sudden emergence of geniuses or strange events.

Even though Joerger had obtained the origin weapon before him, he had still managed to gather quite a bit of information on the geniuses from all over the world.

Ning Shi wanted to see if he could find some outstanding geniuses to take in as followers.

After a while, Sonya came in wearing black tights.

The feline girl walked silently, giving off a silent pressure. However, Sonya’s elegant cat-like steps, coupled with her exquisite figure, contained the strange beauty of a thorny rose.

“My Lord, the information of the geniuses from all over the world is here.”

Sonya bent down, her pointy cat ears perking up.

She handed the documents to Ning Shi with both hands and continued.

“Due to the lack of time, we have only collected information on the more dazzling geniuses on the continent. We have yet to collect information on the geniuses from small places and forces.

“You’ve worked hard. The Intelligence Department is expanding too fast. You have to keep a close eye on it.

Ning Shi said casually and picked up the information to read.

[ Characteristic analysis: Ordinary combat strength, able to control a bloodthirsty demon sword to kill. ]

…

Sean’s name was also among the information on these geniuses. The intelligence from Duohuang had also noticed him, but it was a pity that his reaction speed was a little slow.

...

Ning Shi read it carefully and found that there were a lot of geniuses with special characteristics, such as bloodline mutation, killing people to become stronger, summoning unknown creatures, strange demonic swords, physical strength increase, stacking berserk, and so on.

Many geniuses didn’t rely on their own talent, but on the push of unexpected events to improve their strength by leaps and bounds.

It was no wonder the Intelligence Department had not been able to lock onto Sean immediately. Many of the geniuses there were more suspicious than Sean.

At the very least, Sean’s training talent had been very strong in the past.

“My Lord,” Sonya concluded, “after gathering the data of these geniuses, we discovered that the geniuses who have appeared recently have very average talent. Their rise is mostly due to external forces and luck.

“All sorts of strange abilities have appeared. This is something that has never happened before.”

Ning Shi nodded. This phenomenon might be a sign of chaos, but it could also be due to other reasons. There was insufficient information at the moment, so it was impossible to make a conclusion.

As for the geniuses’ own lack of talent, it was also caused by their birth.

The rich relied on technology, while the poor relied on mutation.

Most of these geniuses were in the lower-middle class of society, so how good could their talents be?

Ning Shi looked at the location of these geniuses and planned to meet a few geniuses on the way.

...

The criteria for him to recruit followers were very simple. He wanted to see if he could trigger the system’s character intimacy level. If he could, he would usually recruit heroic characters.

He could pay special attention to it.

After planning everything, Ning Shi took the teleportation array and arrived at Rose City after he had settled the affairs of duo Huang.

Ning Shi first went to the Duke’s mansion to see Lena. Facing Lena’s bright and hot big eyes, Ning Shi thought of Hao Meng and suddenly felt a little guilty.

He didn’t stay for long and left in a hurry with the excuse that he had something on.

Ning Shi wanted to head east from Rose City and enter the territory of the Unicorn Duke.

The first target was the Marquis of Eagle Mountain, Scott.

The Marquis of Eagle Mountain territory was the most powerful Marquis territory under the Unicorn Duke. The territory was covered in mountains and hills, and it was extremely rich in all kinds of minerals.

After contracting Scott as a servant, he could secretly control the Marquis of Eagle Mountain’s territory, and he would not have to worry about the lack of ore to produce magic nuclear weapons.

Furthermore, the territory of the Marquis of Eagle Mountain bordered the Rose territory. The continuous mountain range within the territory was a natural barrier for the Unicorn Duke to resist the Rose City territory.

After taking control of this territory, if anyone wanted to take over the territory of the Unicorn Duke in the future, the army would be able to cross the barrier and enter the unicorn plain to attack the city.

Walking out of the city, Ning Shi sat on a tall mammoth and enjoyed the night of the other world.

The moon was very round tonight. The silver moonlight blocked the brilliance of the stars, and the sky was like a dark blue curtain.

It was a natural beauty without any industrial pollution.

Ning Shi adopted the mood of a tourist and leisurely appreciated it.

Suddenly, a red dot appeared in the dark blue sky.

The red dot was getting closer and closer, and an extremely strong sense of oppression hit him in the face.

Feeling the pressure, the mammoths hesitated.

As the red dot approached, it knelt on the ground, its huge ears covering its eyes and trembling.

Ning Shi’s vision was extremely good, and he saw the appearance of the red dot clearly.

It had a pair of unfurled wings, a ferocious head, three rows of sharp teeth in its mouth, and a slender body covered in dense scales. Under the moonlight, it flickered with a red halo.

It had a tail that was as long as its body. At the end of the tail, there was a row of sharp spikes. Its limbs were also extremely thick and strong, and it had terrifying sharp claws.

This image was extremely similar to the giant dragons that were circulated in the Western world.

Ning Shi suddenly remembered the encounter with the previous Duke of Rose, Du Bo, and could not help but shout.

“Taikoo Red Dragon!”
