Chapter Fourteen: The Knight-Making Workshop!
“In the future, I, Wang Xiao, will dominate this mist, leading my army of knights to conquer this world! Ha ha, ha ha!”
Seeing Wang Xiao’s posture, Little Bone imitated him, placing hands on hips, lifting his small head ever so slightly, the flames in his eyes flickering fiercely.
Unable to resist, Wang Xiao reached out and patted Little Bone’s head.
“From now on, you’ll be my great general!”
Little Bone didn’t quite understand what his master was saying, but still looked at Wang Xiao with a resolute expression.
Yet, as Wang Xiao looked at the materials in his backpack, he fell into contemplation once more.
There were too few supplies—how could this be enough?
Only a third of the dragon bones remained, and just 3,000 liters of dragon blood.
Wang Xiao chose to check the requirements for knight creation.
[Knight Blueprint: None.]
“Wonderful, they’ve strangled it in the cradle right away.”
Wang Xiao felt as if rain had drenched the sky above him.
He headed straight for the private chat group; perhaps someone there might have the blueprint for knight creation.
[Administrator Wang Xiao has joined the chat.]
“The boss is online, hehe.”
“Boss, we’ve all heard about you (wink).”
“Boss, you’re amazing!”
“Boss, when will you take us along too?”
“Boss, I’m obedient, prone to dying, and won’t interfere with your operations.”
“Me too, me too.”
“Heh, first time I’ve seen a noob so confident (scorn).”
“What’s wrong with being a noob? It doesn’t affect you (middle finger).”
“I’m a happy noob, you can’t buy my happiness (smug).”
These people really have too much time on their hands, chatting idly here all day.
“Ahem, I have a question.”
As soon as Wang Xiao spoke, the group instantly fell silent.
“Boss, please ask (bow).”
“Boss, please ask (bow).”
“Boss, please ask (bow).”
“Boss, please ask (bow).”
Neat and tidy—excellent.
Wang Xiao enjoyed this sense of reverence. Continue, don’t stop.
“Does anyone here know about knight blueprints?”
“???”
“???”
“???”
“???”
“I know!”
Wang Xiao saw the reply and felt a surge of relief and satisfaction.
He responded, “Then tell me about it.”
The others sensibly ceased messaging.
“But I’m not a brother.”
A black line appeared above Wang Xiao’s head—was this person here to mess with him?
“I’m a sister.”
Wang Xiao could only reply, “Then please, sister, share what you know?”
“(smiling face).”
She attached a picture.
“[Knight Creation Blueprint: Dark Knight
Tier: Second
Materials Needed: Second-tier creature remains.
Requirement: Excellent-grade Knight’s Workshop.]”
Unexpected—she really had it. Pity he had the tools but lacked the technique.
“Ahem, sister, are you selling it?”
Wang Xiao asked.
“Which part are you buying (shy)?”
In just two exchanges, the group exploded.
“This isn’t the bus to kindergarten—I’m getting off!”
“Is this really happening?”
“Speed up the bus!!”
“So direct?”
“I want to buy, too.”
“What do you want to buy, upstairs (side-eye smile)?”
Wang Xiao was a bit stunned by all this—people nowadays were really bold.
“Uh...are you selling the blueprint?”
“Selling (happy).”
Wang Xiao traded a few pieces of equipment and some food he’d acquired from golden treasure chests to her.
The equipment was all things Wang Xiao didn’t care for, and honestly, as a grown man, he was embarrassed to use those items.
Once he had the blueprint, Wang Xiao immediately chose to use it.
[Knight’s Workshop

Wang Xiao had imagined commanding thousands of troops in the future.
Now, his hopes were a bit dashed.
Still, having a few followers was better than none.
Without further ado, Wang Xiao began today’s task of clearing the mist.
Little Bone wanted to go with him, but Wang Xiao stopped him.
If I self-destruct and accidentally blow you up as well, I’d be at a huge loss.
For safety, Wang Xiao left him behind.
As a man with an immortal body, these monsters were just here to deliver themselves.
Wang Xiao used up all three chances to dispel the mist.
The first time, he encountered a second-tier monster—swift and simple, he crushed it to death.
Had he not needed the corpse intact, Wang Xiao would’ve simply self-destructed to solve it.
The second time, he obtained a stool—a small stool, perfect for Little Bone to sit on.
The third time, Wang Xiao found a nest of eggs—ordinary, unremarkable eggs.
Upon returning to the Bone House, he found Little Bone wrapping himself up with a roll of paper, turning himself into a mummy.
Well, that explains why the toilet paper was gone earlier—it was this mischievous imp who took it.
Little Bone bounced over to Wang Xiao, making him laugh in exasperation.
Squatting down, Wang Xiao said to Little Bone, “Little Bone, tonight we—oh no, I will be having bone soup, and you’re the main course.”
Little Bone could now understand Wang Xiao’s words.
He turned and fled, but the paper wrapped around him prevented a quick escape.
Wang Xiao reached out and caught him, “Trying to run? Not a chance!”
Little Bone swung side to side in Wang Xiao’s hand, utterly comical.
“All right, I’ll stop teasing you.”
“I want to try out my Knight’s Workshop.”
Wang Xiao set Little Bone down and approached the workshop.
[Consuming one second-tier monster!]
[Dark Knight creation begins! Countdown: 10 seconds!]
[Creation successful!]
On the open ground before the Knight’s Workshop, a hexagram array appeared.
The light slowly faded, revealing a figure at least two meters tall.
The pitch-black armor lent an impression of solidity; the towering silhouette radiated an intimidating presence.
The only part exposed was the eyes.
Very strong! Stronger than ordinary second-tier monsters.
The Dark Knight held a broad sword, its jet-black blade unable to conceal its sharpness.
But Wang Xiao wondered—where’s the mount? Isn’t a knight supposed to have a horse?
Perhaps in response, another light appeared beside the Dark Knight.
A tall black horse, clad in armor, stood beside him.
Its fierce gaze radiated murderous intent.
Looking at these two colossal beings, Wang Xiao felt a sense of helplessness.
How could he possibly feed them?
No amount of food would ever be enough!
[The Knight’s Workshop can restore their stamina!]
Wang Xiao’s eyes brightened—that was perfect.
No need to worry about their meals anymore.
[Name: Dark Knight
Tier: Second
Skills: Bravery, Power Slash, Concealment
Appraisal: An excellent bodyguard, worth having.]
“Dark Knight, punch me!”
Without hesitation, the Dark Knight’s massive fist swept toward Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao planted his feet, swiftly countered with a punch—he wanted to test the knight’s strength and see how he measured up.
