Player A: “…”

Player B: “…”

A Whale has infiltrated among us!

Any player who has been active in the forum for a while would not find troop types, treasure grades, etc., foreign.

‘Remnant Soul (Random)’

‘Description: Using this item can randomly recruit a type of soldier. There is a 90% probability of recruiting a regular one-star troop, 9% probability of recruiting a regular two-star troop, and 1% probability of recruiting a regular three-star troop.’

This is the most common remnant soul of a troop type, also called Gambling Dog Remnants.

Although the majority of players using this type of remnant soul can only recruit crippled-level troops, many still choose to gamble heavily.

There exist the random remnant souls, and there also exist remnant souls that will certainly recruit a certain type of troop.

Like ‘Remnant Soul (Little Skeleton)’, ‘Remnant Soul (Little Fairy)’, ‘Remnant Soul (Militia)’

The price of random remnant souls is higher than that of goblin, little skeletons and other remnant souls, but it is far less than ‘Remnant Soul (Skeleton Soldier)’, ‘Remnant Soul (Archer)’, ‘Remnant Soul (Guardian)’, ‘Remnant Soul (Centaur)’ and other two-star or three-star remnant souls.

The price of three-star remnant souls is not only high, but they are also extremely scarce.

An experienced player complained:

“I was wondering why the price of three-star remnant souls has been rising recently, even higher than the rare war souls. Turns out you guys drove it up!”

…

“The power of Whales is truly terrifying.”

“As a poor person like me, I cannot keep up, and can only depend on my diligence and effort.”

Mu Yuan sighed.

He, too, wanted to compete in the trial ranking.

The second-generation players had their eyes on the trial ranking rewards, not to mention an ordinary person like him? He must seize every opportunity he can get.

“However, these second-generation players must have already owned dozens of three-star troops, and I only have General Dead Bone and a skeleton soldier. The gap is still relatively large right now.”

He is still too weak and powerless.

Although Dead Bone and regular three-star troops are not the same thing.

Mu Yuan switched back to the game.

‘Notice: Your skeleton soldier ‘Dead Bone’ has been upgraded to Level 2 of the zero-order.’

While he was browsing the forum… Ah no, while he was diligently collecting information, Dead Bone was also incredibly diligent, not only pondering how to use skills, but also continuously absorbing Soul Sand. At this moment, he was finally able to upgrade to LV2.

Dead Bone’s strength, speed, and energy reserve have all been enhanced at Level 2, however, the increase in combat power is not as dramatic as that brought by evolution.

“It has approximately consumed 3g of Soul Sand.”

He had previously harvested 8.8g of Soul Sand, half of which was used for Little Skeleton’s recovery, and the rest was concentrated on Dead Bone.

It did not disappoint and leveled up quickly.

“It is said that the speed of a troop absorbing Soul Sand varies, and Dead Bone…. taking roughly six hours, undoubtedly belongs to a faster category.”

This is a hidden talent of the troop.

Mu Yuan wasn’t surprised. He had to mention again: My son Dead Bone has the demeanor of a great emperor.

“Going forward, the amount of Soul Sand required for levelling up and time will increase exponentially, so it isn’t easy to train the troops up to Zero-Order Level 9, and then breakthrough to professional level.”

“After all, Professional Level is almost the domain of experienced players.”

“However….”

He had been browsing the forum for so long and had come across a few players who are filled with confidence and want to make a name in the Novice Trials. These players seem confident that they will advance to the professional level of troops before the trials arrive, that is, within a month.

“In other words, if I also want to get additional rich gifts from heaven and earth, I must cultivate professional level troops at the minimum, to be safe about it, I have to cultivate three to nine of them.”

“It’s time to set out into the vast world.”

Mu Yuan chanted the Evolution points, and a pale box appeared before him.

‘Skeleton Evolution Point: 1.03’

He estimated that ten little skeletons could produce 1 unit of evolution point in six hours, meaning they could evolve four three-star skeleton soldiers in a day. This speed isn’t slow.

However, this is the ‘maximum speed’ when the workload on the Little Skeletons is at its full capacity.

Previously, many little skeletons got injured; those who lost arms and legs would naturally accumulate the evolution points slower. From noon until now, they just accumulated enough resources for evolution.

Soon, Mu Yuan evolved a battered… highly accomplished little skeleton into a skeleton soldier.

And named it ‘Bone Two’.

Bone Two also learned the skill Cleave during evolution, proving that this is not an exception, but one of the effects that comes with evolutionary power.

Both are regular three-star troops, but there is a world of difference between having a skill and not having a skill.

However, Bone Two’s intelligence is far less than Dead Bone, and it’s still a stupid skeleton. Even though it has learned Cleave, it couldn’t use it for the time being.

Noob.

But noob can train more.

Mu Yuan’s command was not understood by Bone Two, but that’s okay. When Dead Bone took over communication, Bone Two began to understand. With Dead Bone’s guidance, even an idiot like Bone Two will eventually get the hang of using skills.

Mu Yuan did not let Dead Bone continue tutoring.

Now that he has evolved his second skeleton soldier and the remaining little skeletons have all recovered, it is time for him to take his first step into the vast universe of war.

He looked out. The sky over Baijiang City had completely darkened. In reality, it was precisely 8 p.m.

The day on Eternal Continent was also 24 hours long. The game zone he was in had similar time zone to Xuan Country. However, the daytime on Eternal Continent was longer. At eight o’clock in the evening, the sky was still bright.

This was the basis for going out.

After all, he was still a total greenhand. If the night has already fallen, it’s better to go to bed early.

…

The area covered by the novice territory was approximately 100 to 200 meters in diameter.

Everything within this area was clearly visible to Mu Yuan, who was sitting in front of the computer. But this gods-eye view angle, the ability to get an overview, was only available within the territory.

The further places were covered by a slow-moving white fog, rendering the map pitch black.

Mu Yuan started to call up his troops.

He would definitely bring General Dead Bone. In addition to him, he also personally selected three unremarkable little skeletons. Yes, the primary function of these little skeletons is to protect him, the weak lord.

He didn’t want to go out either.

But once a military unit steps out of the territory, the lord can no longer control it from a distance. He can only let the unit act according to the previous commands.

Therefore, leading troops out to fight is common for new players.

Dead Bone already has self-awareness and the basics of independent action, but if it goes out all by itself, Mu Yuan, as a parent, is still worried.

He really worries over his own skeletons.

Soon, a human and four skeletons came to the edge of the territory, facing a dense white fog.

As Mu Yuan moved forward, the drifting fog began to disperse, and the scene outside the territory gradually became clear.

But at the same time, Mu Yuan’s view was dropping.

He went from overlooking the whole scene from a high place to a third-person view.

“Reminder: You have stepped out of the territory.”

The white fog was billowing around robust trees, each over 10 meters high. Falling leaves piled up and the road was rugged. Occasionally, you could see some huge paw prints of wild beasts, adding a few shades of terror to the quiet forest.

Mu Yuan had already figured out the details of going out, and wasn’t surprised about the change of perspective. But this view that had shrunk countless times still made him feel uncomfortable and unsafe.

No wonder guides recommend players who have no confidence to simply stay in their territories and not go out.

There is a massive difference between fighting inside and outside the territory.

He became even more cautious.

Dead Bone was walking in the front, pushing the thicket aside.

Mu Yuan stayed firmly in the middle of the three little skeletons, yes, this position was more conducive to commanding. It’s just a pity that the little skeletons were still too short, their skeletal structures were still not solid, if there were three skeleton soldiers, it would be better.

The bushes suddenly started shaking, and sparse noises could be heard.

The soul flame in Dead Bone’s eyes flickered, staring straight at the bush.

Wild grey wolves appeared!

He hadn’t even walked a few steps, and he had already run into wild monsters? From the looks of it, these wolves were probably heading to his territory to stage an attack.

They have a death wish!

There weren’t as many wolves as the previous group, only seven, but the leading wolf had glistening fur and was noticeably more robust than the other wolves.

“Grey Wolf (Normal Star): Level 4 of Zero-order.”

It was a level 4 Wolf King!

The Wolf King had fierce eyes and was already pouncing.

Without fear, Dead Bone drew his battle blade, and it started to glow with wisps of black light.

Bang——!

The force of cleave gushed out, crushing the Wolf King’s sharp claws before striking on its fierce head. It sliced through the fur, flesh, and bone. The overpowering force squashed the entire wolf’s body.

From high above, Dead Bone landed heavily on the ground.

The remaining force diffused out.

The ground cracked.

In the center of the cracked ground was a shapeless corpse. It was the deceased Wolf King.
