Chapter 875: Miracle Building – Skeleton Conversion Field
With the gemstone in hand, Fang Jie looked at it, then directly integrated it into a Skeleton Conversion Field.
This is a troop building upgrade gemstone, not a blueprint. Therefore, it can only upgrade one building, which is solely a Skeleton Conversion Field, not allowing all Skeleton Conversion Fields to be upgraded.
This was somewhat frustrating for Fang Jie.
"Well, as long as there is one, research can be conducted, and a blueprint will eventually be developed."
After all, it's a Miracle Building, and although research isn't easy, his territory indeed has the capability for researching. Once there is a physical object, as long as sufficient resources are invested, it will eventually be discovered.
It just requires some time, possibly measured in years.
The most important thing now is to upgrade the building first.
As the gemstone fuses, the Skeleton Conversion Field begins to expand. Originally, it was a pit of Kugu, but the center had transformed into something akin to an Abyss of Bai Gu. In the next moment, the surroundings underwent a greater change.
A vast area around the site began to change. The surrounding soil gradually became bleak and then disappeared. These elements transformed into bone fragments and a large amount of floating Bai Gu.
This resembled a lake made of bones, gently flowing.
Fang Jie could easily sense that these were indeed bones, endowed with unique rules. With this realization, Fang Jie hurriedly opened the panel to check the new building's attributes.
Skeleton Conversion Field (Miracle): A building for converting Skeleton Soldiers, investing resources to obtain new Skeleton troops. It can independently research and upgrade new Skeleton troops without additional investment, with troop level cap at Legendary.
Accompanied by a Bone Sea, producing a large number of skeleton soldiers daily. Skeleton soldiers can hunt each other, devouring the other's Soul Fire to enhance power, up to Legendary. Only Skeletons produced by Bone Sea can devour each other; other Undead cannot. Once Skeleton troops leave the Bone Sea range, they cannot return and lose the ability to devour.
Most skeleton troops produced by Bone Sea are ordinary Skeleton soldiers, with a certain probability of producing troops that other Skeleton Conversion Fields can create. Troops yielded by Bone Sea do not incur extra resource costs, cannot directly produce Elite Units or Hero Units, but may produce new troop units. These new troop units have a probability of becoming producible troops.
Bone Sea produces a certain amount of Corpse Bones and spirit points daily, with output varying based on Bone Sea size.
"Why is the change so drastic, other Miracle Buildings haven't changed so dramatically. Wait, could it be due to the upgrade gemstone, only upgrading one, so its power is stronger?"
Fang Jie's eyes lit up; if this is true, then the value of this upgrade gemstone is quite high.
An upgrade gemstone allows one building to upgrade to have more and stronger capabilities. It might seem like just one building, but through this building, one could research a series of upgrade blueprints.
Once completed, all similar buildings could be transformed in this manner.
Even existing building blueprints might be usable to enhance building capabilities.
"It seems worth every cost to swiftly transform the Miracle-level Skeleton Conversion Field into mass-produced goods. Unfortunately, none of the troops have reached Legendary Level, otherwise, the practical value would be higher."
Fang Jie then looked at the changes on the panel. Self-researching and upgrading troops is expected; most buildings with such capabilities exhibit similar abilities.
While it is possible to research Legendary troops, Fang Jie wasn't too expectant.
Because the probability is extremely low, until now none of his buildings have researched anything with special limits. By the time they can research, he probably wouldn't need it anymore.
However, the accompanying Bone Sea was an unexpected boon.
The Bone Sea independently produces Skeleton soldiers, although most are very weak, possibly even weaker than current Skeleton Labor. Within such a short time, Fang Jie had already seen some.
The performance of their strength was indeed hard to look at.
Yet, the Bone Sea itself can form a special Domain, similar to the Domain of the Netherworld River.
Within this range, Skeletons will slaughter each other, perfectly absorbing each other's Soul Fire, enhancing their strength. Not only does their strength improve, but all their various skills will also be automatically comprehended.
Some Skeletons may undergo mutations, transforming into new troop types.
And this enhancement can continue up to Legendary Level.
Although it's time-consuming and the troop loss is significant, one Legendary Level is worth the investment. The only limitation is that they cannot leave; once they leave, they cannot return.
Other troop types also can't enter for devouring; otherwise, it could become a massive troop cultivation base.
It's unclear if this is intentionally restricting his type of Lord or an aid to him.
Additionally, the yielded troop types aren't special. But this is good, as Fang Jie would treat Hero Units as regular people. A regular person caught in such carnage would make Fang Jie feel uneasy.
However, it's different with regular troops.
As long as they don't emerge from Bone Sea, they can't elevate to Hero Level or possess a normal Soul.
Bone Sea can produce troops that the building itself can create, which is definitely advantageous. Although newly produced, their power is very weak. Yet, his Skeleton Conversion Field has a plethora of different troop types.
Once grown, they possess very special Combat Power.
Moreover, there's a chance of new troop emergence, supplementing research capabilities.
The final ability, Fang Jie couldn't yet see its effect, but the effect should not be weak. This troop building could also automatically provide Corpse Bones and spirit points. If provided in abundance, it might even be self-sufficient.
If research succeeds, merely the Skeleton Conversion Field could become his substantial trump card.
Fang Jie foresaw that the greatest harvest this time was the upgrade gemstone. Compared to absorbing the Origin from a God, increasing much of his strength, this proved far more useful to Fang Jie.
"Next time, find opportunities to hunt some Gods in the All Heavens Hunting Ground; perhaps troop upgrade gemstones can be gained. A Legendary Level army, once seen by other Gods, would certainly be shockingly sufficient."
At least Fang Jie had never encountered an army composed of Legendary units.
Perhaps High-level Gods have them, but for Weak Gods like these, it's out of the question.
