Chapter 106 - 105: Evo-power Evolves Again (Seeking Monthly Tickets) !
“Name?”
“Li Erniu.”
“Gender?”
“….Male.”
“Any special skills?”
In the southern living area of Tianyuan Territory, in front of a crude registration point for displaced residents.
A few Imperial Guards, having removed their heavy full body armor and wearing only light clothing, had fetched steaming porridge mixed with some vitality spring water, and placed it next to the registration point.
Imperial Guard Captain, Lu Liu, was responsible for guiding the refugees, registration, introduction, and job assignment.
This task had the burly man, who usually only knew about fighting, sweating profusely. He felt that charging into battle for three consecutive days was more comfortable than this. Even so, Lu Liu meticulously carried out the tasks assigned by the lord, paying attention to every detail in inquiry and registration, not missing any detail.
Under his watchful eye, which appeared to emit a bright divine light, the refugees were obedient and kept themselves in order.
Even when night fell, the fire-lit citizens were still busy, feeling like they had insurmountable energy, full of excitement, but also slightly apprehensive.
Li Erniu was somewhat uneasy.
He wasn’t sure if his blacksmithing skills would be appreciated by the Lord, or if he could lead the surviving villagers to truly settle down here.
“If I could… unlock supernatural power, have the legendary class, I would surely gain the Lord’s favor, wouldn’t I?”
But he didn’t inherit any of his grandfather’s power, he was just a common man with a bit of strength.
“A common man?”
Mu Yuan opened the territory panel, and the civilian column showed “87” in the population count.
After clicking into it, he could clearly see the information of the loyal citizens.
“Iron Shovel (Male)”
“Big Fish (Male)1‘
“Papaya (Female)”
“Li Daqiang (Male)”
But beyond that, there were no other details, indicating these citizens were quite ordinary. This was true for most of them. If the citizens had anything special such as classes, skills, or other characteristics, it would be shown on their profile.
The previous carpenter had the label “Skilled Woodworker”, representing affirmation of his talent.
However, compared to the SR card in front of him, the carpenter was basically an N.
“Li Erniu (Male)”
“Skills: Furnace Forging Method, Furnace Strengthening Method, Big and Small Hammer Chaotic Hammer Method.”
The forging method, according to the information description, can create rare equipment as long as material is sufficient.
But Li Erniu seemed to think he was just an ordinary blacksmith.
The strengthening method was more special. By utilizing the Blacksmith’s Building and consuming a certain amount of Soul Sand, equipment could be made more sharp, robust, and hard, gaining “+i”, “+2“, “+3– enhancement effects.
The enhancement limit for regular equipment is “+3”.
The enhancement limit for rare equipment is “+6″.
Li Erniu sure is a master of upgrading!
However, there’s a failure rate for enhancement, and the higher the enhancement level, the higher the failure rate. Once failed, the equipment would be damaged at the least, or even shattered at worst.
Mu Yuan:”….”
Where did Li Erniu learn this strengthening method!
“As long as the enhancement doesn’t exceed three levels, there shouldn’t be any issues, right? In this way, the soul sand costs aren’t that high, but the improvement in the troops’ combat power is quite significant. So, the cost-effectiveness is quite high.”
“There’s no need to seem too eager. I will arrange for Li Erniu to work in the blacksmith’s shop tomorrow.”
With the influx of hundreds of civilians, Tianyuan Territory became much livelier, and they could produce some small items themselves now.
“If Lanxing completely merges with the Eternal World in the future, it would probably be hard to obtain supplies from the real world. That is to say, before the environment drastically changes, Tianyuan Territory has to be built into a self-sufficient place.”
About this, Mu Yuan only hoped for a talented chef to come!
He was currently eating at Lanxing every day.
The food in the Eternal World?
Even though the food made by the skeletons was so good that it was said to be fit for a king, none of the other awakened troops knew how to cook. The citizens knew a bit, but it was only just a bit.
“It’ll take some time, but sooner or later, I’ll recruit some refugee chefs. Maybe one day a top chef will even appear.”
“However, as the number of refugees increases, Lu Liu and the others seem to be struggling to manage.”
Thus, Mu Yuan re-initiated his Remnant Soul purchase plan.
In addition to buying surplus Remnant Souls like Little Skeletons and Slimes, he also purchased some ordinary one-star ‘Militia’, which were the cheapest human troops.
They could evolve into the two-star ‘Spearman’, and subsequently into the ‘Halberd Guard’ and ‘Big Halberdier’.
“Human troops are responsible for internal affairs. They patrol the territory, handle security management, and also deal with some city defense duties.” “The other main troops are for external affairs. They’re responsible for exploration, external dispatch, and territorial conquest.”
The next day,
Mu Yuan sat inside the Mage Tower, holding two Soul Crystals in his hands. As he breathed, he absorbed thin, pure, white energy that flowed through his whole body.
He was cultivating.
After loading the ‘Duo Lai Template’ with the power of the Lord, even a blank Lord was able to absorb Soul Sand and slowly but steadily improve himself.
Once the template was dismissed and the Duo Lai power disappeared, the basic attributes gained from absorbing Soul Sand remained.
This was merely a bit of the wonder of the power of the Lord.
‘The Power of the Lord: From Beginner to Rise Above the Sky’
After finishing a satisfying routine of cultivation, Lord Shepherd checked his system panel.
‘Tianyuan Territory’
‘Civilians: 123’
‘Troops:…’
‘Skeleton Series: 530’
The count had increased by 279 from before, thanks to recruitment in the skeleton cemetery, residuals after the Legion of Death’s operation, as well as external purchases.
Among them, apart from Little Skeletons and Dead Bones, there were also ‘Skeleton Generals xio’, ‘Skeleton Warriors xi3o’, and ‘Skeleton Soldiers xioo’. The number of troops at each level hadn’t changed much, but the Skeleton Senes’ evolution points had accumulated up to 560 units. With a little more, the Dead Bone could take another step forward.
‘Slime Series: 150’
No change in the number of troops at all levels, only accumulating as much as possible. Its evolution points had reached 320 units.
‘Wandering Spirit Series: 125’
12 Resentful Spirits and 55 ghosts had evolved.
The Watchtower, Archer, and Battle Falcon hadn’t changed much overall, only evolving a few individual Rare Level entities.
The fourth main branch, the Treemen, remained the same in numbers.
Most of them stayed in the forest, while a few took root in the south area. They were closer to the Treeman Forest and also benefited from the blessing effect of the Treeman Forest.
The third type of patrol troop, the ‘Militia’, had just been recruited, numbering 30 at present.
Mu Yuan didn’t expect these militiamen to be very strong. However, as long as they were evolved to the Halberd Guard stage, even at level one or two, they could naturally open their wisdom. In this way, they could be competent for some simple patrol tasks under Lu Liu’s leadership.
The cheap and easy-to-get Remnant Souls of the Militia were much easier to buy.
It might not take long, a new high-order troop could be spawned above the ‘Big Halberdier’.
Overtaking Lu Six, Seventeen.
Just as he thought this, he saw a Militia walking down from the Lord’s Altar, with a faint Ho.oi’ rising from its body. The Militia was faintly resonating with a powerful shooter on the nearby Watchtower and a patrolling Imperial Guard.
Mu Yuan caught onto something.
In his sublimation, when the power of the mind was maximized, the invisible and intangible evolution points turned into differently colored light balls in his eyes, with blurred images flowing within.
The total number of light balls was “eight”, representing the evolution power of eight types of troops.
At this moment, as his intentions spread and perhaps also due to meeting certain prerequisites, three of the light balls gradually fused together.
‘Human Evolution Points’
‘Watchtower Evolution Points’
Archer Evolution Points’
The three became blurred, and after a few breaths, they formed a brighter light ball, with vague shadows within it that looked like all beings of the mortal world.
‘Human Evolution Points: 13.56’
The points were precisely the sum of the former three.
Great Lord Shepherd understood. He didn’t leave the Mage Tower, but simply followed an instinct deep within, pointing at a distant Archer, a patrolman, and a Militia.
The next moment,
11 units were deducted from the Human Evolution Points, and the three types of troops began to sublimate in the brilliant white light, as if they were graced by a celestial..
