Chapter 376: Chapter 376 The Reproduction Problem of Shadow Elves

The contract was successfully completed, and Fang Jie found his loyalty from Shadow Moon had suddenly increased to 73. Because of the contract’s existence, this loyalty would continue to increase rapidly.

This was, in itself, a special effect of the contract. Basically, as long as you did not commit heinous acts that incited universal fury, the loyalty of your subordinates to yourself and your descendants would rapidly increase to over 90.

As for how much higher it could go, that depended on individual circumstances.

But currently, Fang Jie was the only person in his family, so they had only him as their object of loyalty.

With the signing of the contract, many Shadow Elves’ gazes towards Fang Jie changed, and his status and perception in their hearts began to transform rapidly, growing increasingly intimate.

Fang Jie noticed that the one who initially had the highest loyalty towards him now had a loyalty of 94.

If this continued, perhaps it wouldn’t be long before another subordinate with maxed-out loyalty would be born.

"Not bad, very good. Next, let’s tackle the issue of your reproduction. Just two hundred is far too few," Fang Jie had valued the Shadow Elves’ reproductive ability from the beginning.

"Master, although we can reproduce through shadow fission, this method is not to be used lightly," one of the Shadow Elves explained to Fang Jie.

Fang Jie nodded, "I know, it can lead to a decline in strength and require some time to recover."

The Shadow Elf who just spoke shook her head and said, "It’s not just a simple decline in strength that’s the issue. What’s more important is that since a part of our spirit also splits, it takes even longer for our spirit to recover."

"If we undergo fission too many times at once, it can cause damage to our spiritual power and lead to permanent deterioration in our own strength. In the worst cases, it can even lead to a division of the spirit and eventually spiritual decay."

Spiritual decay is akin to brain death, Fang Jie thought.

He had not expected such a situation. However, it’s not easy for a regular person to recover if they have spiritual issues. After inquiring further, Fang Jie found that the Shadow Elves were inherently unique.

After their spirits have been damaged, they can slowly recover over time.

Unless the damage was too severe all at once, then there really was no remedy.

"Wait, can’t an external object be used for recovery, such as some spiritual treasures?"

As he spoke, Fang Jie took out a soul crystal. The biggest issue with soul crystals, unlike spiritual nodes, is not just their condensation into a solid form; most importantly, it’s a special kind of resource.

Those who cultivate soul-type spells or skills can absorb soul crystals to accelerate their cultivation.

Even Undead can enhance their strength and repair their damage by absorbing soul crystals.

It’s just that Fang Jie hadn’t needed to use this up until now because his Undead can’t be considered as ordinary; those created by functional buildings among his troops are a special existence.

"It’s a soul crystal, you actually have a soul crystal."

Shadow Moon took the soul crystal and absorbed a bit of its power with her eyes closed. Then she spoke, "No problem, this can indeed speed up the recovery of our spirits."

"How much faster can it get?" Fang Jie was very interested in this.

"If we have enough quantity, we would only need one day’s time to recover after each fission."

A hint of a smile crossed Fang Jie’s eyes, "Only one day? That’s fantastic. So, first increase your numbers, I’ll ensure a sufficient supply of soul crystals. Without a large number, many things will be difficult to accomplish."

Not only did Fang Jie want to increase their numbers, but the Shadow Elves themselves also wanted to.

After all, only with sufficient numbers can they strengthen their tribe. Apart from loyalty to him, expanding their tribe was now what these Shadow Elves most desired to do.

"There’s no problem with that, but if we fission en masse, our strength will inevitably decline. Even with soul crystals for recovery, we won’t have much combat power for a long time."

Fang Jie waved his hand dismissively, "No matter, the combat power of my troops is sufficient, and I don’t need you to fight desperately for now. It’s best if you increase your numbers quickly. Once you have certain strength, I’ll have you establish an intelligence department."

An intelligence department? Shadow Moon’s eyes lit up. This was precisely what the Shadow Elves were best at.

By establishing an intelligence department, their people could receive the greatest protection during various missions. As long as they didn’t engage in head-on desperate struggles, especially not against mages, they would hardly ever die.

How fortunate to serve such a master.

After thinking it over, Fang Jie suddenly said, "From now on, you’ll stay by my side, in charge of communicating with the other Shadow Elves. So, you won’t need to go through fission."

Although they had soul crystals, who knew if there would be issues with continuing to fission.

Shadow Moon was of the Gold level, and her young age indicated her excellent Talent.

If she continued to be nurtured, she might have the chance to reach the Legendary level one day. Such an individual was not someone Fang Jie was willing to squander. With the other Shadow Elves, it didn’t matter as much if issues arose.

Those joined midway, who knows if their loyalty could reach the maximum.

But those born from fission were all newborns, who, barring accidents, would certainly be able to achieve very high loyalty someday. Those were the ones truly suitable to be nurtured by him.

Even if Shadow Moon were to become unsuitable one day, he could choose someone suitable from among them to nurture.

However, those simple Shadow Elves would never think that Fang Jie had so many considerations. They were very satisfied with Fang Jie’s arrangements. Fang Jie allocated a place for these Shadow Elves on Flower Plateau, and then they began their fission.

They had always lived in peril. When could they have ever had such peace of mind to fission and produce their own kind?

Now they didn’t have to worry; the surroundings were very safe, with many protectors around them, and there were piles of soul crystals beside them.

Each Shadow Elf transformed into her original shadow form, and then a blob of shadow split off.

In no time at all, the new shadows turned into Shadow Elves, not very tall, only a bit over one meter. These were the Shadow Elf pups, and with the growth of strength, they would quickly mature into adults.

These newly born Shadow Elves, one by one, were very naive, but their innate loyalty to Fang Jie was already above 80. As for Talent, that would be a matter of individual luck.
