Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

At the same time, some mid-level underground labyrinths entered the sights of various major families.

These mid-level underground labyrinths, due to their relatively simple structure, with a maximum of only seven layers, had a relatively sporadic output of magic crystals per instance. From the perspective of individual output, they might not seem significant.

Those with any intelligence knew the principle of accumulation; every little bit helps.

Since these mid-level underground labyrinths lacked the strong control of managing families, the mining process was relatively safe and stable, with almost no sudden attacks or interference. This allowed the mining work to proceed efficiently and continuously.

Remarkably, relying solely on these additionally opened channels for mining magic crystals, Soren could bring in tens of thousands of pounds of magic crystals each month. This figure was undoubtedly extremely astonishing to outsiders, further consolidating Soren's advantageous position in the empire's resource control.

Nowadays, within the empire, an unspoken consensus and standard had formed for judging the strength of a family, primarily based on the scale and number of underground labyrinths under its control.

This method of measurement was direct and effective, because underground labyrinths, as the main source of magic crystals, were directly related to a family's wealth accumulation, the cultivation of experts, and its influence and voice in the empire's power structure.

Even among high-level experts, various transactions and exchanges gradually simplified into two main forms: either using the contribution point system constructed under Soren's leadership to measure and exchange value, or directly using magic crystals for equivalent transactions. This was enough to demonstrate the core position and key role of magic crystals in the empire's economic and power operation system.

In order to gain more benefits and status in this system, they invested a large number of magic crystals,

hoping to occupy a place in the future resource allocation and power competition.

However, they were completely unaware of Soren's plans. A potential breakthrough potion required 2000 contribution points to redeem, which, when converted, was equivalent to two hundred pounds of magic crystals.

In reality, two hundred pounds of magic crystals were enough for him to buy twenty potential breakthrough potions.

This huge price difference undoubtedly showed Soren's rich profits in this transaction, which shows how dark Soren's heart is.

Under Soren's planning and cultivation, Cabrones and the five Shadow Guards successfully broke through their limits and all advanced to become Saint-level experts. Their strength was now completely different. Each of them possessed extraordinary power and unique skills, becoming Soren's powerful trump cards, capable of playing an unexpected role at critical moments, whether it was carrying out secret missions or facing enemies head-on, they could pose a great threat to the enemy.

The Battalion Mage Corps was equally unwilling to be outdone. After a long period of studying magic skills and hard training, six mages stood out and successfully advanced to become Saint-level mages.

The Royal Guard Knight Corps was not inferior, and eight knights also successfully stepped into the ranks of Saint-level experts.

Even within the seemingly inconspicuous group of palace eunuchs, two female chief eunuchs successfully broke through to the Saint level, namely Jessie, the chief eunuch of Empress Dowager Irene, and Aidi, the chief eunuch of the Queen.

With the death of these two, they, who originally needed to be buried with the dead, were left behind by Soren, and even became Saint-level experts. They had already sworn allegiance to Soren, and even sacrificed a wisp of their soul to Soren, becoming his strongest force to control the palace.

This was the Saint-level expert lineup directly under the royal family, totaling as many as twenty-one. Such a powerful Saint-level force gathered together, forming an indestructible core force, giving the royal family a solid guarantee and confidence in the face of various potential threats.

Even more noteworthy was that, during this period, through a series of conquests and battles, the corpses of Saint-level experts were constantly sent back.

After some processing, in addition to a portion being taken away by the Lord as labor fees, the remaining corpses of Saint-level experts were transformed into powerful undead puppets.

Now, the number of Saint-level undead puppets in his hand had reached more than ten, which was undoubtedly a chilling hidden force.

Among them, Ada, as the most outstanding among this batch of undead puppets, had reached the peak of the mid-Saint level after Soren's careful strengthening. It exuded a strong aura of death, and wore a specially customized set of legendary equipment. This equipment not only had powerful defensive capabilities, but also amplified its attack power.

When facing ordinary mid-Saint level experts, Ada was almost invincible relying on its own powerful strength and excellent equipment. Moreover, in this plane, the mid-Saint level was already the representative of peak combat power. Ada's existence undoubtedly became a trump card in Soren's hand, capable of changing the battle situation at critical moments.

Soren was busy in the study for a long time. After dealing with many complicated affairs, he finally stretched and relaxed his tense nerves a little. A trace of expectation flashed in his eyes, and then he quietly got up and walked towards Emily's bedroom.

At this time, the palace was immersed in a silence. The moonlight sprinkled on the palace walls and corridors, outlining mottled light and shadows, as if covering this majestic palace with a layer of hazy veil.

Soren walked lightly, skillfully avoiding the patrolling guards, and headed towards his destination.

Although he was now the master of the palace in name, the emperor was still alive, and many things still had to be done to avoid rumors.

When he arrived at the door of Emily's bedroom, Soren knocked gently on the door. After a while, the door slowly opened. Emily saw that it was Soren, and a look of surprise instantly bloomed in her eyes. She quickly welcomed him in.

The candlelight in the room flickered, reflecting the affectionate faces of the two. For a moment, the room was filled with tenderness.

Soren asked in a low voice, "Where's Mina?"

"She's asleep!" Emily said.

Soren immediately showed a lewd smile, and Emily wittily pulled up her skirt, revealing the black stockings inside.

"What are we going to play tonight, am I playing with you, or are you playing with me?"

After Soren finished speaking, he picked up Emily and headed to the study on the right.

"Then without further ado, let's start now, let me see if you have really reached the peak of the eighth level."

Emily smiled contemptuously and said, "Then I'll see if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really improved recently."
