Surviving the Eternal Night: I'm a Monster Who Can Make Wishes

Li Wu Hui sensed it.

The Shadow Palace has moved here.

After thinking for a moment, I went straight into the correct tunnel fork.

Three figures walked over.

Hidden Scale, and two defeated wood elf leaders.

They are all currently of purple quality.

However, in terms of strength, Hidden Scale is still no match for the two defeated Wood Elves.

Li Wu Hui looked at them.

He instructed:

"Hidden Scale, you are in charge of expanding the Shadow Cave Shelter along the way. In addition, you are responsible for personnel arrangements after the survivors enter. Time is of the essence. Then, send personnel to collect the resources and treasure chests left behind by the survivors after they explore."

Hidden Scale immediately replied:

"My lord, Hidden Scale understands. I will dispatch White Defeaters to collect supplies and treasure chests, and then have the Gray Defeaters carry them. This will ensure that our progress is not slowed down and that no resources are overlooked!"

Li Wu Hui nodded.

"Very good, I trust you to handle things."

"Once we find a suitable territory, I will assign you even more important tasks. I hope you can continue to shoulder great responsibilities, and it wouldn't be impossible for you to be promoted to BOSS in the future."

The Hidden Scales have evolved intelligence, enabling them to consider even the smallest details of commands.

Furthermore, they will proactively and appropriately explain their points, and if Li Wu Hui has different opinions, they can point them out directly.

He truly is a gem he has found.

It really saved him a lot of trouble.

Yin Lin's expression became even more fervent and respectful:

"It is an honor for Yinlin to serve the Lord. However, Yinlin only wants to handle all the trivial troubles for the Lord so that the Lord can enjoy life in an easy way, rather than having the Lord take away my power and status."

Li Wu Hui waved his hand:

"Alright, stop flattering me. Your rise in power and status is because you can provide me with better assistance and cover for my identity. Don't refuse anymore."

Yin Lin then lowered his head and replied, "Yes, my lord."

Li Wu Hui then looked at the two defeated wood elf leaders.

"Leaf Blade Aria, Thorn Vera, I haven't assigned you any missions yet, mainly because there are too few of you. For now, it's more suitable for you to be my close attendants."

"However, I do have a task for you today. As you know, the large force outside consists of tens of thousands of survivors, mostly of white quality, with over a thousand of them being of blue quality, although the Morning Dew Church also has two golden-quality Morning Dew bishops to oversee the operation."

"But I'm still worried about unexpected events. You all need to keep an eye on the safety of the main force at all times. If anything happens, notify me immediately. I will either rush back with Saintess Morning Dew and the others, or lead the main force to escape to other sacred tunnel areas. Understand?"

"Understood, Master."

The two defeated wood elf leaders responded respectfully.

The two then exchanged a glance.

Leaf Blade Aria spoke first: "Master, I want to take the initiative to contact you. However, in order to speed things up, perhaps we can design a messenger arrow, a skill that turns wood into a bow, and also make inferior arrows that can be shot into the air and made to explode like flowers, which would be very eye-catching."

"I think this way I can contact you more quickly, Master."

Li Wu Hui's eyes lit up, and he said with great surprise:

"Leaf Blade, your idea for the 'messenger firecracker arrow' skill is pretty good. Is it only you who can use it, or does everyone know how to use it?"

Qingji Vera then spoke up, "It was Sister Yeren who figured it out herself, but I've already taught all the younger sisters how to do it. Master, we were given names by you, so naturally we don't want to be just pretty faces."

"We hope you can give us more opportunities to develop our talents, okay?"

interesting!

Li Wu Hui's lips curled up.

It seems it wasn't just him.

As long as the killing instinct of monsters is suppressed, other monsters will inevitably have the desire to improve!

"Sure, no problem, as long as you become more and more useful."

"Even if someone stands closer to me than the Morning Dew Saintess Mia, it's fine."

As soon as Li Wu Hui uttered those words.

The two defeated wood elf leaders blushed.

After exchanging a furtive glance, they quickly said:

"Master, we will definitely satisfy you and become the closest to you!"

Um? ?

Li Wu Hui stared wide-eyed at the two female elves' shy expressions.

"What are you all thinking? I mean, the confidant positions are closer to me!"

"This is the early stage of development, a time to overcome obstacles and build a solid foundation. Don't let your mind wander!"

Leaf Blade Aria and Thorn Vera stiffened upon hearing this, but immediately replied, "Yes, Master."

When Li Wu Hui turned to leave.

But then they heard the two whispering to each other.

"The master said we shouldn't have any wild ideas during the early stages of establishing our territory. Does that mean we'll be accepted once the territory is stable?"

"That should be the case. Anyway, since they didn't directly refuse, I must improve my abilities and win over my master's heart."

Li Wuhui's lips twitched.

You have put the new rules into practice through your actions.

No matter how alluring or beautiful a monster may be, you would never believe it is worthy of being protected!

All monsters, and indeed all other beings, are only fit to be dominated by you!

You are enjoying the feeling of being "controlled" by yourself!

[Progress in implementing the third secret phrase +10%!]

Current completion rate: 55%

Ha ha.

Well, he didn't want to say anything more.

Since it's ambition anyway, let's not suppress it for now.

When they do something wrong, we can educate them.

Thinking about all this, he quickly left.

Two days passed quickly.

[23:05, Saturday, April 27]

After some arrangements were made.

The journey went smoothly, and I didn't miss out on my daily self-disciplined social interactions.

Every day, Li Wu Hui and the Morning Dew Saintess Mia, along with the Wood Elf leader Aleza and the Abundant Elf Freya, would join them.

I interacted with many survivor representatives, arranged for the Morning Dew Cult members to participate in their daily activities, which included fighting monsters and competing to find treasure chests, and it was quite fun.

Unfortunately, most players have limited skills in finding treasure chests.

So far, I've only encountered the highest quality blue treasure chest.

The purple treasure chest was nowhere to be found.

However, the journey was progressing very quickly.

Each time, Li Wu Hui and the Morning Dew Saintess would travel at full speed for three hours, and then begin digging a cave. The Eternal Night Bishop and the Abundant Elves who followed behind dug twelve branching paths, turning it into a true shadow cave shelter.

It was very efficient; it covered seven regions in just two days.

According to some clever survivor players, after some calculations, it is about a day and a half's journey to Starfall Lake.

That day, Han Jiang and several unfamiliar survivors suddenly found Li Wu Hui and the Morning Dew Saintess.

"Your Highness, some survivors have recently become bored and want to join their friends in other areas, which means they want to leave the team."

"I wish to obtain Her Highness Morning Dew Saintess's permission."

Seeing that the several unfamiliar survivors remained shy and unable to speak, Han Jiang sighed and stepped forward to explain.

Why are you leaving before we even reach our destination?

The Morning Dew Saintess was somewhat puzzled.

Lately, her mind has been mostly on Li Wu Hui, and she no longer pays much attention to the survivors, this emerging group of potential believers.

Li Wu Hui, standing to the side, knew what was going on.

In fact, in the past two days, the large group traveling with the Morning Dew Church has been enjoying a very free outing, which has naturally excluded many survivor players who are not good at socializing.

This is so different from the atmosphere when everyone worked together to escape the Daxi Forest area, so naturally there will be a psychological gap, and people won't want to stay.

Let them go.

That definitely won't work. These people are all valuable connections for him and the Morning Dew Saintess.

Leaving with such a terrible mentality might lead to future dissatisfaction and even backlash from fans.

We still have to put on an act!

Li Wu Hui's eyes lit up as he recalled the speech format of a famous success guru.

He looked at the Morning Dew Saintess and said:

"Your Highness, I think the survivors want to leave not because they're disappointed in you, but because they've been wronged."

"However, forcing them to stay here is not a solution. We can let them leave. Anyway, they know that Her Highness's destination is the Starfall Lake! It won't be difficult for them to find us later."

"But we can't just let our friends leave unhappy like this; we have to organize a farewell event for them."

"I suggest we slow down and take all the friends who want to leave with us. Let them kill a monster themselves, get some loot, or perhaps the right to name a code name. That would be a nice farewell gift."

"Isn't that right?"

"As for finding the monsters' gathering points, I'll figure that out!"

The Morning Dew Saintess's mind raced, and she immediately flashed a perfect smile.

"What the Knight Commander said is very good, I agree to do so."

She was simply focused on Li Wu Hui; she wasn't stupid, and naturally knew how to win people's hearts.

That's it!

Han Jiang's eyes widened, first at the unexpectedly warm suggestion from the Knight Commander of Morning Dew.

Then the Morning Dew Saintess agreed without hesitation.

Are you guys raising cyber assassins here?!

Han Jiang opened his mouth, but after composing himself for a while, he finally spoke:

"Very well, Your Highness, Commander Knight, on behalf of these departing survivors, I thank the Morning Dew Church for their care for our friends!"

After saying that, Han Jiang led the survivors, who seemed to be in a dream, away.

This news quickly spread among the survivors.

There are quite a few players who want to leave.

According to preliminary statistics from the Morning Dew cult, more than 5,000 people have expressed this intention.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that many people are saying this simply to interact with the Morning Dew Vatican.

However, all their information was still recorded.

Treat them all equally and prepare a farewell party for them.

But Li Wu Hui and his group moved even faster.

Before the silver moon had even set, Li Wu Hui and the Morning Dew Saintess opened up another shadowy cave shelter not far from where the main force was stationed.

Then, a steady stream of defeated monsters emerged from them, forming small groups. The white-clad survivors recorded the teams they managed and arranged exploration tasks in different directions.

Current area: Dark Garden

Although this area is called the Garden, it is extremely large and remote, with very few players. According to fragmented information online, there are many monsters here that are good at torturing people.

However, those were all posts made by survivors of gray quality.

Whether this poses a threat to the large contingent led by the Morning Dew Vatican is highly questionable.

Not long after.

Thousands upon thousands of Grey Defeated Squads have gathered intelligence on various monsters.

There are five types of monsters in total.

The Rotten Mushroom People, Shadow Blade Mantises, and Stone Skin Beetles are all gray and white quality monsters, estimated to number in the tens of thousands. However, they are evenly distributed and not concentrated, making them easy to deal with.

The Glowing Winged Bird is shaped like a horse, with iridescent feathers, a long, slender beak suitable for sucking nectar, and golden markings around its eyes.

With its large wings, it flies smoothly.

They all start as blue quality and seem to feed on Shadowblade Mantises, but their appetite isn't very high; out of dozens, only one actually preyed on one.

The last type of monster, the Ghostly Demon, is humanoid in form, with pale purple or light gray skin, and has small, curved horns and a slender tail.

It also starts with blue quality and is rarely seen.

It is a loser of white quality, barely discovered only by relying on dark vision.

However, Hidden Scales reported that the defeated monsters may have also been discovered by the Ghostly Enchantresses, whose pupils can glow in the dark, and who may also possess abilities such as dark vision.

"It's alright, we can just send them off in batches."

"Verna, go check the formation and be prepared for any unexpected situations."

After Li Wuhui finished his analysis, he immediately gave the order.

Then, he looked at the Morning Dew Saintess:

"Mia, I need an aerial mount. Can you help me find a golden-quality Radiant Winged Bird?"

The Morning Dew Saintess pondered for a moment.

"Sir Knight, I can't guarantee it, but I can try."
