I'm the one running the game

After seeing Sirius off, Lu Xingshi was thinking about taking a detour to deal with Grand Duke Haipa.

I thought the matter was over, but I didn't expect that the other party would dare to trick me.

The road between the royal capital and the Principality of Hypa was not very smooth.

If Lu Xingshi wanted to pass by, he would have to go around in a big circle.

"Sir, have you successfully condensed the life seeds?" the housekeeper asked cautiously.

After not seeing each other for seven days, Lu Xingshi had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the other party could naturally tell the difference.

"Yes, I have condensed the seeds of life." Lu Xingshi said without hesitation. There was nothing to hide.

Furthermore, he had intended to spread the word.

"This... you have become the fourth great knight in the kingdom at such a young age. It is simply... simply..." The butler was so shocked that he couldn't even finish his words.

He never thought that Lu Xingshi could actually succeed.

When Lu Xingshi asked the Sheriff and others to collect the essence of earth elements before, the territorial officer and they had already had this idea.

The reason why he didn't ask was because Lu Xingshi didn't do much.

But when I looked at it again today, I saw that it had changed so much, so I asked.

"Calm down, it's just good luck. If I didn't have so much earth element essence, I wouldn't be able to successfully condense the life seeds." Lu Xingshi comforted him.

For the people under his command, Lu Xingshi rose to the top in one step and directly became the upstart of the kingdom.

But for Lu Xingshi, this is just a starting point.

There is no fighting spirit or magic power, so how dare you add a big character as a prefix?

"You have become a great knight. The royal family will at least make you a marquis, and Grand Duke Hypa will not dare to target you again."

"Even with the alchemy of the Langton family that can create earth element essence, we don't have to worry about being coveted. We can also make and sell the perfume formula ourselves."

How could the housekeeper calm down? Lu Xingshi's change immediately revitalized the black soil territory that was originally a stagnant water.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he smiled.

"No, no, no, we don't do it ourselves, it's a problem for us."

"The Black Earth Territory is too small. Even if I become a Marquis, the territory will still be a Black Earth Territory. Neither the alchemy of producing earth element essence nor the perfume industry can support it."

Lu Xingshi still knew the Black Earth Territory very well. It was such a small place with a small land and few people, so it simply couldn't support it.

"The best way is to cooperate with the royal family. We only need to provide alchemy, and the rest, whether it is cost, personnel or sales, will be solved by the royal family."

"Even if we can only get 10% of the profit, it is still an astronomical sum."

Don't even think about 50%. Lu Xingshi estimates that he will only get about 20% of the profit at most.

However, the 20% profit can definitely be much higher than if Lu Xingshi used the Black Earth Territory to do his own sales and channels.

The entire Black Earth Territory is estimated to be around the territory, but 20% of the kingdom not only covers the entire kingdom, but can even be exported to other countries.

The former is just a thumb cake, while the latter is a ten-inch cake. Even if Lu Xingshi only takes 20% of the latter, it is far more valuable than a thumb cake.

The butler's expression gradually calmed down, and after considering what Lu Xingshi said, he finally had to admit that it was indeed Lu Xingshi's method that made more money.

"But sir, the royal family will not be willing to give 10% of the profits to the Langton family."

"After you, they will find a way to take it back, even at the expense of destroying the Langton family." The butler said worriedly.

Lu Xingshi is still alive, and the royal family will indeed not do anything small, but Lu Xingshi cannot live forever.

Not all descendants of the Langton family are like Lu Xingshi, so this wealth will most likely not be passed down soon.

"Alchemy is the same as holding it in your hands, and it's also dangerous when there's no money." Lu Xingshi said bluntly.

Lu Xingshi knew a thing or two about the conduct of the royal family.

The problem is that Lu Xingshi will not die. If nothing happens, the kingdom will be able to follow him.

"Okay, let's let this be settled."

"You go and clean up for me. Tomorrow we will leave for the royal capital to discuss alchemical cooperation with the royal family in making earth element essence."

Lu Xingshi had no intention of continuing to communicate with the housekeeper on this topic. He was informing, not discussing.

The housekeeper realized that he really shouldn't argue with Lu Xingshi, so he could only agree.

"Yes, sir, I will go and make arrangements for you right away." The butler walked down the slope and prepared to leave.

"By the way, there's no need for the soldiers and guards to follow me. I'm already a great knight and they can't protect me."

"Just ask the captain of the guard to bring a few servants." Lu Xingshi gave another instruction.

It's definitely impossible not to bring someone with you. After all, you have to have noble cards, but bringing too many people is also a trouble.

What to do if someone breaks into your home.

There are not only nobles around, but also bandits. Who knows if there will be bandits jumping over to commit crimes.

If the Black Earth Territory does not have the protection of force, it will be in trouble when he comes back.

At least the territory cannot be replaced, and the population cannot be refreshed. If too many people in the territory die, the territory will not develop.

"Yes, sir." The butler did not continue to admonish Lu Xingshi this time. The current Lu Xingshi is different from the previous Lu Xingshi. This is a knight who has stepped into the extraordinary.

Naturally, there is no need for human protection.

After the housekeeper left, Lu Xingshi picked up the Shield of the King of the Earth and continued to experiment.

Now the giant shield was as light as a feather in his hand.

"It's really heavy, but it seems that the weight can continue to increase."

Lu Xingshi waved the shield a few times, and released the entry-level fighting skill of simple shield defense with his own elemental vitality.

With the blessing of the Heart of the Earth, a yellowish-brown light quickly condensed on the shield.

"With the affinity of the earth element plus the increase in the power of the fighting skill and the reduction in consumption, the power of this entry-level fighting skill is almost reaching the level of a regular fighting skill."

The affinity of the earth element in the first effect of the blood of the earth can naturally increase the earth-based fighting skills and witchcraft, but it tends to control, absorb, and refine the particles of the earth element, which is an indirect enhancement, not a direct enhancement.

So it seems that the increase is 10,000%, because it is indirect, so it cannot reach that high. He estimated that it should increase the power by about 50%, and the consumption is reduced by 10% on the original 90% reduction.

Power and consumption are not calculated using the same algorithm. Power is directly superimposed, which can make the fighting skills and witchcraft released by Lu Xingshi become 2.5 at a level of 1, while the consumption is changed from 1 to 0.05, rather than no consumption or increasing fighting spirit and magic power when releasing fighting skills and witchcraft.

After releasing the simple shield defense, the effect of the shadow of the earth emerged, forming a shield similar to an illusory shield on his body.

He performed the simple shield defense, which was naturally judged as defense by the heart of the earth, so he obtained the shadow of the earth that can reduce damage.

Next, when he attacks, the second shadow of the earth will be formed for attack.

"It will last about five seconds, and it can reduce 10% of all damage at this stage." Lu Xingshi watched the shadow of the earth disappear and estimated its strength.

As for the offensive shadow of the earth, it is actually a shield, but the shield has spikes.

"Shadow of the Earth can be stacked in number, but it won't extend the time, so as long as my attack speed is fast enough, I can get enough Shadow of the Earth."

"Or if the enemy's attack speed is fast enough, it can also stack enough damage exemption, but it's a pity that the damage exemption is increased on the existing basis, and it can't be completely exempted."

The stacking effect of Shadow of the Earth of defensive nature and the stacking of consumption type are both reduced on the original basis, rather than directly stacking percentages.

If it can really reduce 100% of the damage, wouldn't it be impossible to receive any damage.

"With the effect of the hegemony, I can stop thousands of troops by myself."

"But there are many restrictions."

Lv Xingshi sighed. Once he left the earth, even if the effect was not limited to the two words "earth", it would be discounted by half.

Of course, this does not mean that it will be invalid if he jumps up, but there is a distance limit. For example, if he cannot touch the earth and is ten meters away for more than half an hour, the invalidation, halving and other effects will occur.

As for if there is something blocking it in the middle, it will basically not fail, so as long as he stands instead of flying or standing on some objects that are not in contact with the ground in mid-air, the Heart of the Earth will not lose its effect.

So the success rate of killing Lu Xingshi by isolating him is not high.

And this is just the beginning, Lu Xingshi's Heart of the Earth can still evolve.

The node of evolution is naturally when the extraordinary seed is transformed into the source of the extraordinary, after all, the extraordinary seed and his heart are fused together and become the Heart of the Earth.

So the seeds take root and sprout, which will theoretically drive the improvement of this extraordinary ability.

It is really hard to say in reality, but Lu Xingshi has the ability to turn theory into reality, at most it is krypton gold, cheating and hard work.

Don't worry about this problem for the time being. What Lu Xingshi needs to care about is how to quickly improve his strength and unlock the Shield of the King of the Earth.

Others can only be taken one step at a time, he has no way to deal with it, and he doesn't even have much clue.

"By the way, carrying the Shield of the Earth King seems to be able to trigger the effect 4 of the Heart of the Earth and the Glory of the Earth King, and gain additional defense and hegemony effects."

Lv Xingshi discovered that even without direct contact, indirect contact within a certain range can also be triggered.

For example, carrying it on your back or holding it with a cloth wrapped in it can also be done, and the judgment is still relatively flexible.

The three attributes of the Shield of the Earth King, namely, constitution, defense, and anti-injury, can also take effect.

"If you let it go, it will disappear directly, just like a bond..." Lu Xingshi complained: "If I have an equipment bar, I can equip it directly."
