"Elder Zhao, you've advanced?!"
Zhou Zhou looked at him in surprise.
Zhao Changshou smiled and nodded.
"I was lucky to advance."
"The Monster Ranch is indeed a special building."
"With it, I've finally been promoted to a White Platinum-Tier Advance Grade Architect!"
"I didn't expect this."
"I've spent more than 10 years in the Aurora Kingdom without being able to achieve this."
"I didn't expect to advance successfully in just a few days."
"I made the right choice coming here!"
"I have no regrets in this life now that I've reached the limit of my potential while I'm still alive."
Zhao Changshou sighed with emotion.
Then, he looked at Zhou Zhou.
"My Lord, you can hand any White Platinum-Tier Advance Grade building blueprints to me in the future if you encounter them. I can learn blueprints of this level now." He said.
"Okay!" Zhou Zhou immediately agreed.
He could tell that Elder Zhao's happy expression was mixed with an imperceptible loneliness.
It was a good thing that his strength had reached the limit of his potential.
However, from another perspective, it also meant that this person had no other possibility of advancing.
Wasn't this also a pity?
Zhou Zhou did not say anything. After congratulating him, he came to the monster ranches with him.
…
In front of the Monster Ranches…
"Greetings, my Lord."
Mu Gu, who had been waiting at the entrance of the monster ranches, immediately walked up to Zhou Zhou and said respectfully when he saw them arrive.
Zhou Zhou nodded and opened the other party's attribute panel.
[Subject: Mu Gu]

[Loyalty: Dead Loyal]
[Potential: Diamond-Tier Advance Grade]
Zhou Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
At the same time, he was a little envious.
His advancement in strength and skills only required the territory level to increase. It was simply much easier than his advancement method.
"How much has your ability increased?" Zhou Zhou stopped thinking about it and asked.
"I've something to report, my Lord!"
"After I advanced to the Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade Monster Rancher and Monster Shepherd…"
"I can already manage five Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade monster ranches at the same time!"
"Moreover, the upper limit of the number of nurturing per monster ranch has increased from 750 to 1,000!"
"The upper limit of the strength of the fog monsters that can be nurtured has also increased from Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade to Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade!"
"And yesterday."
"Elder Zhao, the soldiers and I have upgraded the original three Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade Monster Ranches to Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade Monster Ranches!"
"Moreover, we built an additional Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade monster ranch that has yet to be placed with monsters as a backup in the future."
"A total of 60,000 units of basic materials, 600 Green Bronze Mist Cores, and one Origin Crystal has been consumed." Mu Gu reported respectfully.
Zhou Zhou acknowledged.
This rate of consumption, other than Origin Crystals, was nothing to him now.
Then, he looked at the four brand new monster ranches.
They were 50% bigger than the original Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade monster ranch.
At the same time, their architectural style was even more ancient than before.
On the surface of its fence, were even some cravings of unknown monsters.
Three of the monster ranches had already nurtured 1,000 Desert Fog Lizards, 1,000 Black-tailed Fog Scorpions, and 1,000 Sandmen.
The last monster ranch that had just been built was still empty because no new monsters had moved in for the time being.
Zhou Zhou was satisfied.
His daily fixed income had increased again!
After that, Zhao Changshou wanted to continue building the Aurora Tower.
Zhou Zhou hurriedly stopped him.
"Elder Zhao, you haven't slept for a day and night. You should rest." He said sincerely.
"At my age, I feel that it's already very rare."
"Moreover, I just broke through and am at my peak. I can't sleep at all even if you ask me to rest."
"Why don't you let me vent my energy? This way, I can rest better after I'm done."
Zhao Changshou directly refused.
Zhou Zhou tried to persuade him a few more times, but he could not persuade this old man at all.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as he walked in the direction of the Aurora Tower.
Zhou Zhou was a little speechless.
Are all the old people in the High Continent so fierce?
After that, Zhou Zhou got someone to look for Bai Yi and asked her to bring all the soldiers to the monster ranches to deal with these 3,000 fog monsters.
A moment later.
In front of the Monster Ranches…
Zhou Zhou and Bai Yi stood at the front.
Nezario lay lazily nearby.
In front of them were 4,970 soldiers!
"Including the 1,000 soldiers left in the Desolate City."
"I have 5,970 soldiers under my command now!"
Zhou Zhou looked at the soldiers in front of him, his heart filled with ambition.
Then, they began to clear these monsters.
It was the same old rules.
Nezario first released its Dragon Might to intimidate these 3,000 monsters!
Then, Bai Yi asked the soldiers to split into three teams and hunt the Desert Fog Lizards, Black-tailed Fog Scorpions, and Sandmen in the three monster ranches.
This time, she did not let the soldiers who felt that they could break through prioritize hunting monsters.
That was because over the past few days, most of the soldiers who could break through by hunting the monsters in the monster ranch had already broken through.
What the soldiers needed now was only the accumulation of advancement energy.
Therefore, there was no need for such rules now.
Increasing the efficiency of killing monsters was the most important!
A moment later, under the siege of Nezario's Dragon Might and 4,970 soldiers, the 3,000 fog monsters quickly turned into corpses.
The result was:
456 soldiers broke through from Black Iron-Tier Elementary Grade to Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade!
156 soldiers broke through from Black Iron-Tier Intermediate Grade to Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade!
22 soldiers broke through from Black Iron-Tier Advance Grade to Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade!
Six soldiers were upgraded from Green Bronze-Tier Elementary Grade to Green Bronze-Tier Intermediate Grade!
The soldiers dripped Golden Corpse Water on these monsters during the remaining time.
Zhou Zhou also activated the Conqueror's Blast Furnace and asked the soldiers to throw the corpses of these monsters into the Conqueror's Blast Furnace.
During the collection of the loot, Zhou Zhou led the soldiers and doctors to the Time Ruins without stopping to complete today's Time Ruins quest.
An hour later.
All the loots had been extracted.
From the Monster Ranches.
A huge amount of Monster flesh, water bags, potions, weapons, monster materials, various skill books, and potion formulas dropped!
Zhou Zhou did not need these.
They would become redeemable items in the military merit exchange system and the future subject contribution points exchange system!
There were also:
12,089 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores! 524 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores!
1,125 Sword Shield Soldier Class Change Certificates! 481 Sword Shield Soldier Recruitment Books!
945 Poison Crossbowmen Class Change Certificates! 567 Poison Crossbowmen Recruitment Books!
2,284kg of sand crystal!
The gains from the Time Ruins would not change. Other than a fixed number of sets and scattered items, there were also 4,926 Black Iron-Tier Mist Cores, 20 Green Bronze-Tier Mist Cores, and 384 Elemental Archer Recruitment Books!
Zhou Zhou then brought all the recruitment books to the Gate of Summoning and prepared to recruit new soldiers.
