“Prompt: Your troop type ‘Archer (Normal**)1 has undergone a metamorphosis in the light of the miracle, and has been promoted to ‘Strong Shooter (Rare*)’.”
“Prompt: Your unit Strong Shooter has learned the skills ‘Charging Arrow’, ‘Triple Shot’.”
Similar to the evolution of the guards, the promoted Strong Shooter also possesses two skills. This seems to be the standard for the rare troops in his territory.
However, the two skills of the Strong Shooter are quite common.
On the forum, the standard skills of the Strong Shooter are usually either one of the two.
The upgraded Strong Shooter wears boots, tightly wrapped in lightweight armor with no gaps. You can hardly tell if it’s a man or a woman. He wears a grey cap, holds a battle bow about a meter long, and has a short knife on his waist. Although her equipment is not as luxurious as the Imperial Guard’s, it still looks costly. If ordered from other lords, such equipment would cost an unknown amount of Soul Sand.
“Not bad, really not bad.”
Mu Yuan is quite satisfied, and he believes that General Dead Bone is also very satisfied. General Dead Bone always prefers old silver coin professions that can attack from a distance.
“However, the level of the Strong Shooter is still low. If you want to make a big difference, you need to increase the level.”
“Let them cultivate slowly.”
According to the custom of his territory, Mu Yuan prepares to give the first Imperial Guard and the first Strong Shooter a code to improve their recognition.
He started to burn his brain cells.
Suddenly, this Imperial Guard spoke, his voice was very low as if he was mumbling.
“Lu… Liu…”
“What did you say?”
“Code… Lu… Liu…”
Mu Yuan thought the Imperial Guard would have the posture of an emperor after evolution and awakening self-consciousness, but it didn’t. The Imperial Guard was just repeating and murmuring the same words.
Next to him, the newly evolved Strong Shooter was also doing the same, as she was saying to herself, “Seventeen… Seventeen…”
They might have some slight wisdom, but they are still far from truly awakening self-consciousness. The few words they can say are all they have, and the rest are ambiguous.
“But what does Lu Liu and Seventeen mean? Is it some sort of code?”
“Could it be that the types of troops have mysteries from their previous lives?”
Despite the confusion, Mu Yuan was not bothered. He is still a greenhand who was new to the game for less than eight days, and he doesn’t have the ability or the desire to explore the mysteries of the world.
When he gets stronger, all the mysteries will naturally be unveiled.
However, since they keep mentioning these two numbers, then, the Imperial Guard is called Lu Liu and the Strong Shooter is called Seventeen.
Dead Bone, Duo Lai, Jun, Lu Liu, Seventeen.
His team is getting bigger and bigger.
That night, Mu Yuan stayed up until three or four in the morning, but still felt full of energy the next day, as if he could keep going all night for several days.
This is the charm of Jiuxuan Cultivation Liquid!
Mu Yuan even wanted to continue exchanging for it. The effect of this cultivation liquid would start to diminish only after it had been used consecutively three times.
Real top-tier rich second generations, I’m afraid they have already gulped down several bottles.
Unfortunately, he cannot afford it anymore, as the remaining contribution points are needed everywhere.
The next day, Mu Yuan starts to buy remnant souls on the forum with the Soul Crystal Coins in his hand, mainly Falcon, Little Skeleton, Slime remnant souls. As for the remnant souls of the guards and archers? The price was too high to be on his purchase list for now.
His purchasing speed was not fast, and he also sold some remnant souls and materials from time to time.
He also sold the Heritage Stone of the Shaman for a price of 1.8 Soul Crystals, which is much lower than the remnant souls of the same rank units. Who makes the Shaman look a trillion points worse?
Even with income, Mu Yuan couldn’t buy too many remnant souls. He still had to use his Soul Crystal Coins to order standard equipment.
He found a reputable transcendent group to place an order, to customize Skeleton Soldier Armor, throwing Bone Spears, as well as combat bows, shields, etc.
He was picky while ordering. The equipment added up to only about ten or twenty sets. Only the consumables like Bone Spears and Feather Arrows had a slightly larger purchase volume. And this alone cost him over two Soul Crystal Coins, not even including the trans-dimensional fee for sending it to the Eternal World.
“It’s a real money sink!”
“No wonder they say the path of an individual lord is difficult to follow. Sure, managing a territory does make money, but individual lords often crumble under various expenses before they even reach the stage where they can make a lot of money.”
Mu Yuan had no choice but to exchange some Contribution Points for more Soul Crystal Coins because he had more expenses coming up.
He had some plans.
For these plans, he needed to move to a new place. He didn’t dare to summon Dead Bone in his current old house because he didn’t have enough space.
All day long, Mu Yuan left the management, exploration, and combat duties of his gaming territory to Dead Bone.
He was busy moving and buying supplies.
He sold some Soul Sand in exchange for Xuan Country Coins, then rented a detached villa from the association designed specifically for players. It came with facilities like an underground training field and was very private.
Soon, Mu Yuan quickly moved in, having hastily packed his computer, phone, clothes, and other things within a day.
“Renting is fine, but there’s no need to buy.”
After all, once Lord Players reach a certain stage, they can physically enter the Eternal World, which is beneficial for their subsequent self-improvement. He has heard that the true high-level players spend most of the year in the Eternal World.
Having a house there is far more important than having one in reality.
The house prices in some large cities have reportedly skyrocketed.
After moving, Mu Yuan ordered a batch of supplies, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and sat down in front of his computer.
At this time in the Eternal World, Dead Bone was leading an exploration team, trying to earn a living.
Duo Lai, on the other hand, was training hard in the skill ‘Condensing Liquid Shaping’ he awakened the day before as instructed by him.
Duo Lai has two skills, among which ‘Leap’ is rather simple. Even if it becomes proficient, it just means faster bouncing and more accurate landing.
‘Condensing Liquid Shaping’ is different. It has multiple uses like the neighboring skill ‘Undead Resurrection’ and holds enormous potential for exploitation and development.
Yesterday, Duo Lai learned to shape arms using ‘Condensing Liquid Shaping’ to fight enemies.
However, Mu Yuan believed the real reason Duo Lai learned to shape arms in a second was that it needed a pair of hands to pick things up.
“‘Condensing Liquid Shaping’ can shape arms and armor, and it can also make Duo Lai expand or shrink, freely changing its form.”
It’s like a piece of clay, which can be kneaded and changed at will.
Maybe one day, it will be able to shape into Duo Lai’s battle armor he can wear or turn into liquid wings.
However, Duo Lai can’t do these detailed operations yet.
But in the training process, Mu Yuan also discovered some drawbacks of ‘Condensing Liquid Shaping’. Indeed, it can be kneaded into any shape, but due to the limitations of Duo Lai’s own body, no matter how it’s shaped, it’s always soft.
Even if it shapes to look like rock armour, it can’t change its core.
Most of the time, Duo Lai’s damage comes from the impact force of its huge body.
Hitting ordinary Goblins and Goblin Spearmen, who are fragile, is not a problem – a single slap can kill them like flies.
But if it’s up against a rugged Big Goblin, Duo Lai’s attack would hardly be effective. Of course, the punch of a Big Goblin hitting Duo Lai’s body at most only makes ripples on it.
If the two fight each other, they might not have a winner even after three hundred rounds until the universe is extinguished.
“The drawback of Duo Lai is that it’s too soft. But what if Duo Lai can be soft or hard? It can shape a hard armor for itself with a shaping skill, easily blocking sword attacks, and hardening its own palms when attacking to increase slap damage.”
“Even, it can shape a spike-shaped liquid and harden the spike liquid at the moment of contact with the enemy, forming a real sharp weapon, and impale the target in one fell swoop.”
The idea is perfect; it just needs Duo Lai to harden.
But how to harden?
“What if I let Duo Lai devour enough steel, could it become as hard as steel while shaping?”
Mu Yuan thought that it might be worth a try..
