Chapter 91 Global Upheaval, Revealing the Land of the Mist!
"Huh???" Shen Xing looked at her with a surprised expression.
Xu Jiayi paused for a moment, realizing her words were somewhat ambiguous, and her face flushed red instantly: "What are you thinking? I told you I'd make you some instant noodles!"
"I didn't think much of it. I was just surprised that you could cook," Shen Xing said innocently.
"Hmph, who do you think you are?" Xu Jiayi snorted. "I cook at home all the time, even my parents love my cooking."
"However, there aren't many ingredients here, so we can only make do with some instant noodles."
Shen Xing nodded upon hearing this and smiled, "Alright, then I'll try Chef Xu's cooking."
She rolled her eyes at Shen Xing, stood up from the sofa, and walked straight towards the kitchen.
Anyway, the house has already been purchased, and all kinds of pots, pans and seasonings in the kitchen are ready to use.
Soon, the crisp sound of spatulas clattering together and the distinctive aroma of instant noodles filled the air.
A dozen minutes later, Xu Jiayi brought a large bowl of instant noodles and handed it to Shen Xing.
To be honest, this instant noodle looks pretty good. It has some scallions on top and a golden-brown fried egg.
Shen Xing took a bite and sincerely praised, "It's great! This fried egg is cooked to perfection, it's so delicious!"
Xu Jiayi said "It's alright," but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Immediately afterwards, she turned around and went into the kitchen, bringing out a large pot.
The pot was overflowing, containing at least five or six bags of instant noodles.
Then, in front of Shen Xing, he started showing off wildly.
Shen Xing didn't pay any attention and continued eating the noodles in her bowl.
The sound of the two slurping noodles filled the entire living room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
As a result, after he finished his bowl of noodles and even drank the soup, Xu Jiayi was still engrossed in his meal.
She had already devoured nearly half of that large pot of noodles, and it didn't seem like she was going to stop at all.
Shen Xing's eyelids twitched; this woman could eat way too much.
Xu Jiayi noticed his gaze, looked up, a piece of uneaten noodle still hanging from the corner of her mouth: "Aren't you full?"
Do you want me to share some more with you?
"Uh—no need." Shen Xing shook her head, looking somewhat puzzled. "Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache from eating so much?"
"No, this is my normal appetite." Xu Jiayi slurped and continued, "I don't know why, but ever since I started playing that game, I've become a huge eater."
Shen Xing narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and glanced at her slightly protruding belly.
Xu Jiayi noticed his gaze and subconsciously tugged at the hem of her T-shirt: "It's probably because I was too weak before, and I've been eating a lot of fruit lately. My body is going through a second growth spurt, and I need to replenish a lot of energy."
"But don't worry, I've been to the hospital and I'm perfectly fine."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing did not press the matter further.
Xu Jiayi lowered her head and continued to clean the pot of noodles thoroughly.
After eating and drinking her fill, she let out a satisfied burp, then cleared away the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash.
About three or four hours later, Qin Lang finally returned with an umbrella.
"Wow, wow, wow! Guess what I saw on the way?"
As he closed his umbrella, he exclaimed in amazement, "Just now on the street, a large cloud of gray mist suddenly spewed out, and then a group of dark goblins emerged from the mist."
"There were many of them, armed with spears and lances, stabbing wildly at passing cars."
"Many drivers were so scared they wet themselves, flooring the gas pedal and sending a huge swarm of goblins flying!"
"Fortunately, a group of people from the Anomaly Handling Bureau arrived quickly and physically exorcised the goblins."

He finished speaking in one breath, his eyes still brimming with excitement and exhilaration.
The two of them listened, a hint of surprise flashing across their faces.
"Did a large patch of gray fog appear directly, and no players died nearby?" Shen Xing asked.
"No," Qin Lang replied firmly. "I saw with my own eyes that the mist appeared out of thin air; there was no one around at the time."
"Moreover, there were many witnesses this time, so it will probably be on the news tomorrow."
Shen Xing was silent for a moment, then suddenly said in a serious tone, "Let's not worry about the news anymore, you guys should go back as soon as possible."
"Hmm? Why?" Qin Lang asked, puzzled.
"There's something wrong with this rain. If this monster invasion continues to escalate, the Anomaly Handling Bureau alone might not be able to handle it."
Upon hearing this, the two realized something and their expressions changed slightly.
After all, they weren't like Shen Xing, who was all alone.
They all have family and friends.
If such an anomaly were to break out on a large scale, even near one's own neighborhood, and the anomaly management bureau failed to arrive in time, then there would be a huge problem.
As pioneers, they were able to summon units from the game to fight, and were among the few who could confront these monsters.
The three of them then stopped talking.
Once the moving company arrived, Qin Lang quickly directed the workers to move Shen Xing's belongings and luggage into the house.
Then he hurriedly drove Xu Jiayi home and rushed back to his own home.
Shen Xing's relocation thus came to an end.
There were no fancy ceremonies or housewarming parties.
But it's good for him too, it saves him a lot of trouble.
Shen Xing pushed his wheelchair alone, familiarized himself with the new house on the first floor, and then took the elevator to the second floor.
I randomly picked a bedroom and made up the bed.
After finishing all that, I ordered takeout.
Then I put my glasses back on and entered the game.
"Buzz—"
As the view shifts, the warmth from the campfire brings a sense of peace.
Nothing much has changed in the territory today.
The soldiers were either training or absorbing soul stones, constantly improving themselves.
Bloodhowl handed over all the loot dropped by the monsters killed that day to Shen Xing.
Shen Xing pondered when to go to the trading channel to get another orc totem so that Bloodhowl could also advance to the transcendent level.
After all, he had already reached level 9 and could have broken through long ago.
Next, Shen Xing used his [Sacrifice Evolution] opportunity for the day, upgrading the Double-Axe Orc's Roar to Boss 1-Star 0.
Incidentally, I activated a skill: Flying Axe Whirlwind.
It can summon several flying axes that rotate around itself, dealing cutting damage to enemies within a 5-meter radius, which is quite good.
After finishing all that, Shen Xing absorbed some more soul stones before logging off.
He lay on the big bed in his new home, scrolling through news discussions.
The above discussion focused on information about the heavy rain and the special monsters that appeared in the fog.
Shen Xing watched for a while, listening to the sound of rain and the crashing of the river outside, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Late at night, the rain grew heavier and heavier, gradually turning into a downpour.
The vast majority of citizens stayed at home, completely unaware of the changes happening outside.
In the rain, a group of people dressed in black uniforms and fully armed were moving through the streets and alleys.
They held a special instrument in their hands, with a radar pattern constantly scanning the screen.
Any area exhibiting abnormal energy will be marked with a red dot.
Then they rushed over as fast as they could and cleared out the monsters that emerged from the mist one by one.
Meanwhile, inside a conference room in Tianhua Kingdom.
A group of middle-aged and elderly people dressed in formal attire sat around a long table, each with a serious expression.
The large screen on the wall displayed a map of the Tianhua Kingdom, with more than a dozen cities marked by flashing red circles.

A middle-aged man in a black suit with a resolute face spoke first: "Abnormal rainfall has occurred in many kingdoms of the Misty Lands, and monsters have rioted on a large scale."
"According to the investigation by the master-level experts we dispatched, it is very likely that an ancient being from the sealed land has awakened, causing the abnormal energy in the Misty Land to surge wildly."
"In the real world, more than a dozen cities, including Seoul, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Baiyun District, and Shenzhen, experienced simultaneous rainfall."
"This heavy rain shows signs of intensifying and could very well develop into an unusual event that covers the entire Tianhua Kingdom, or even the entire world."
The atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became heavy.
Another, younger man chimed in, "Now, numerous fog leaks are appearing in multiple cities, and incidents of monsters injuring people are rampant. The Anomaly Handling Bureau alone is already overwhelmed."
"Should we send more personnel to maintain social stability?"
"These monsters aren't the most pressing problem." Someone shook their head: "If we issue bounties and double the contribution points, the pioneers will scramble to take on these missions."
"What we need to worry about now is that this anomaly has led to a large number of monsters invading reality."
"I'm afraid we can no longer keep the things of that world a secret."
The meeting room fell silent once again.
This is indeed a serious problem, given the wide scope of the impact and the large number of witnesses.
The public isn't stupid; they've definitely already guessed what's going on.
If we remain silent and do nothing, it may cause severe social unrest.
"Since we can't hide it anymore, let's just make it public."
The white-haired old man, who had been sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed in deep thought, slowly opened them.
Everyone on the field was startled again.
But upon further reflection, I felt relieved.
"That makes sense." One person nodded and said, "As the ancient beings in the sealed land awaken one after another, similar events will only become more and more frequent, and the people must be prepared in advance."
"I second that." Another middle-aged man nodded. "It's about time. We've been preparing for this day for decades, accumulating a wealth of research results."
"The technical department has analyzed the complete method for absorbing soul stones, so that ordinary people can also strengthen their bodies by absorbing soul stones."
"Furthermore, after more than a decade of financial operations, the prices of game items have been brought down, making them affordable even for ordinary families."
"The conditions for going public are fully met."
The others nodded in agreement, their expressions gradually hardening.
"In that case, let's prepare for tomorrow's press conference. I will personally handle it."
The elder in the main seat made the final decision.
In the dead of night, major mainstream media outlets and websites received an emergency notice, and it was issued at the highest level.
