Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At 1 o’clock in the afternoon.
After Richard had confirmed that the shield was broken and there were no threatening situations around, he was relieved.
However, from today onwards, Twilight City would be unable to transfer all the troops like before. Not a single one was left.
In the future, there must be enough troops to guard the territory.
Otherwise, he would not even know someone had stolen the crystal when he went out.
After thinking about it, Richard sent 10 out of 35 bandaged mummies to protect the search and rescue team.
Currently, he still has 25 left.
Richard simply left behind all the bandaged mummies to guard his territory.
“Today, I have to hunt enough food in exchange for resources. Twilight City needs a large number of troops to defend.”
The lack of defense at the rear gave him a lot of pressure.
“I must kill another wave of soldiers!”
After making plans, he did not delay. He brought 10 cursed pharaohs, 13 scorpion warriors, and 10 undead soldiers.
With a total of 33 people, three small teams left the territory.
He continued to explore the eastern region today.
He would honestly like to take down that medium-sized gold mine if there were enough undead soldiers.
Unfortunately, he only had one troop. Facing at least three parties of half-metal giants, he still felt a lot of pressure.
It was better to play it safe.
With a clear target in mind, Richard moved very quickly.
After the Rare 3-star undead soldiers joined in, the battle of scanning the map became much more manageable.
The scorpion warrior acted as the front row meat shield, cursed pharaoh to cast curses, and used Crowd Control to immobilize the enemy’s movement.
The undead soldier threw a tomahawk within a range of 30 meters.
From 21 to 30 meters, increased damage by 60%. There was a 30% chance of triggering soul execution to kill the enemy.
Against low-level soldiers, even if it did not trigger Soul Execution, it could still kill the enemy as it relied on the exaggerated feature of increasing damage by 60%.
The undead soldiers became the fundamental killing tool in Richard’s hands. When he encountered a gathering point of soldiers in the wild, he would just go there and finish it.
It was not until 6 pm that Richard decided to end the day’s map scan.
[Ding~ You have commanded your troops to defeat a group of sawtooth rabbits. You have obtained a victory in a miniature battle. You have obtained 40 experience points…]
[Ding ~ You have commanded your troops to defeat a group of one-eyed demons. You have obtained a victory in a miniature battle. You have obtained 80 experience points…]
[Ding…]
Richard glanced at the system notification. There were more than 30 notifications.
In other words, they had killed at least 600 to 700 soldiers in the wild today.
The experience on his status panel had increased to 1600.
The progress of leveling up to 5000 points had increased by a large margin.
However, it was a pity that most of these soldiers in the wild were humanoid and could not be eaten.
However, due to many kills, he also obtained a lot of prey, such as sawtooth rabbits, long-tailed mice, and bull-horned camels.
Later, the system could no longer hold the 10 cubic meters of space. Richard hunted them once and sold them on the market as resources.
This intensive sale of food again caused a large group of lord players to have a heated discussion.
It was because there were countless Elite 2-stars, and Elite 3-stars prey on the market.
Richard’s few large-scale food sales had caused him to become a big shot in the hearts of countless people.
Countless people were guessing just how strong Qingqiu was…
The resources on the attribute panel had already reached 30,000 units, and the system space was still full.
Richard, who had reaped a bountiful harvest, was satisfied as he prepared to return to his territory.
“However, the number of field troops I encountered today is quite unusual. It seems to be more than the previous few days combined…”
After thinking for a while, he directly opened the [Forum Chat].
He found that many players were also talking about this matter.
[What’s going on today? Why are there so many field troops all of a sudden? In the place that I cleared last time, a new field troop appeared. F*ck, my troop is almost exhausted!]
[Don’t you know what day it is today? It’s Monday!! The troop gathering place for the different types of soldiers in the wild has been refreshed!]
[F*ck, there truly is such a thing? F*ck, I almost forgot that I’m in a game world…”]
[F*ck, there’s a one-way portal not far from my territory. It’s a dungeon! And the dungeon is a 3-star dungeon! Brothers, I’m going to be rich. Wait for me to go in and take a look at my gains!]
Richard was stunned.
He finally understood.
Every Monday, the troops in the wild would refresh…
He looked up at the cloudless blue sky. This world… was exciting.
Just as he dispelled the doubts in his heart, a few scorpion warriors in charge of the search team ahead rushed back.
“Lord, we found a resource point.”
Richard nodded with a calm expression. The harvest from the resource point was too small. In the early stages, it could not be compared to hunting.
Moreover, the desert was too barren, and the number of resource points was pitifully few. This week, Richard discovered four resource points.
Other than the medium-sized gold mine, the others did not interest him.
One could make a fortune in an affluent area by occupying the resource points, but in Twilight City, doing so could only starve residents to death.
But it was better than nothing.
“Take me there.”
They climbed up a towering sand dune after leading the troop forward for 200 meters,
He followed the scorpion warrior’s guidance and looked at the bottom of the sand dune.
An area covered with ores attracted his attention.
Countless sparkling ores reflected a crystal-clear light under the setting sun.
It was like the broken gravel area was inlaid with countless diamonds.
It was eye-catching.
What was this?
When Richard saw this unusual scene, he opened his attribute panel with interest.
[Gemstone Mine]
[Level: Miniature]
[Reserves: 100 units]
[Maximum Output: 21 units per week]
[Capacity: Minimum of 3 people, maximum of 10 people]
[Description: Rare resource points, gemstones can be mined after occupation.]
“Rare resource, gemstone mine?!”
His eyes lit up, and his slightly exhausted spirit instantly cheered up.
Rare resources could not be compared to ordinary resources like wood and iron mines. Not only was the output low, but it was also scarce.
This thing was indeed a good thing, a high-level hard currency.
One could tell how precious a mine was because it only had 100 units of reserves.
Moreover, the blueprint for the Hero’s Altar was still in his hands. This precious blueprint obtained from the Phoenix Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce had always been lacking in rare resources for construction.
Richard suppressed the joy in his heart and turned his gaze to the soldiers guarding the gemstone mine.
To occupy the mine, he had first to get rid of these wild monsters.
They were a group of extraordinary creatures.
The two goat horns on their heads were sharper than spears. Their backs were slightly raised. A row of plastic membranes like fins grew on them, with a row of sharp thorns in the middle.
Their upper bodies were naked and they wore animal skin pleated loose trousers. The muscles on their bodies were pronounced like they could explode with the power to crush mountains and rocks at any time.
These goat horns monsters were holding a long-handled giant hammer in their hands. The front of the giant hammer was flat, and the other side was a protruding arc-shaped sharp blade.
The opponent’s pair of bloodshot eyes was even more eye-catching and flickered with cruelty. Their brutality could make people feel a chill in their hearts.
These monsters were not weak.
Richard raised his eyebrows and opened the attribute panel.
[Demonic Goat Monster]
