Chapter 89 - 88: The Wind Rises_l
Power of Storm, a talent that can increase affinity with wind elements and stir up the ability to manipulate storms.
After awakening this talent, when Jun uses the ‘Wind Speed’ skill, the skill effect under the same energy output will increase by at least 30%. Moreover, after evolution, many fundamentals such as the body, spirit, energy of Jun has greatly improved. With such changes, it is now not just a reconnaissance falcon, but…
A powerful reconnaissance falcon.
After it absorbed the ‘Evo-power’ from the temple, Mu Yuan took out the prepared breakthrough materials for it to smoothly break into the professional level once it got used to the post-evolution body.
Thus, the territory now had six professional Super Powers.
“It’s time for the storm.”
The night of the Eternal World was about three hours away, and Mu Yuan did not plan to send any troops out to explore in the remaining time.
Time to conserve energy.
The group of Skeleton Warriors stationed in the Snake Scale Fruit Forest had also been recalled. Now, the entire territory was bustling, and somewhat… crowded.
The preliminary territory was too small, and some areas had to be reserved for strategic depth, which made the place even more cramped.
From time to time, Mu Yuan overlooks with lord’s vision or controls his character to wander around, checking and filling gaps at close range.
“Add a few more shields to this watchtower.”
“There are enough reserve weapons.”
“Potions and Scrolls of Magic should be stored in multiple places. This makes them handy and avoids total loss in unexpected situations.”
The weak Little Skeletons, Little Slime, and Wandering Souls are hidden in various cellars to avoid any harm.
As ruthless producers of Evolution Points, they are indeed weak, but they also have advantages. Their size is small enough, and a lot of units can squeeze into a cellar if pushed.
Perfect-
Mu Yuan opened the panel.
He didn’t buy any new Remnant Souls in the last three days, but the Evolution Points kept pouring out. So naturally, he sprinkled the Miracle Light on many troops again.
Among the Skeleton Series, there were ten Rare three-star troops ‘Skeleton Generals’, most of which were born with the territory, with very high levels.
After evolution, their combat power is extremely strong, and they even have a chance to fight against weaker professional level monsters.
The main ‘Skeleton Warriors’ increased from 90 to 115. Skeleton Soldiers and Little Skeletons used to make up numbers are overlooked.
The Slime Series had three Golden Slimes and 45 Silver Slimes. They are quite large and occupy a lot of space, but they seem to be able to stand up in case the outer wall is broken. Cough, stand up for now.
The Wandering Soul series had four Resentful Spirits such as Hong Yi Rakshasa, and 39 ghosts, forming the surprise attack team.
The watchmen and archer series, excluding Lu Liu and Seventeen, had nine Imperial Guards and Strong Shooters each, forming the defensive team.
And the Battle Falcon Reconnaissance Team.
“Another troop good at magic would be just right.”
However, such troops are basically of a Rare Rank. Even if he could afford them, and send them to the territory after the Lord Trial, they are…too cost-ineffective.
Let’s talk about it later.
The night had already fallen in Baijiang City, quiet as water. But hidden under the silent night were hearts gradually rising, either anxious or excited.
‘On the forum, numerous newbies were refreshing the page, counting down, waiting for the trial to start.’
Among the newbies, the prospective lords were even more serious than ever, waiting in concentration.
This battle will determine the future!
“How are you guys preparing?”
“So-so, I’ve only managed to build a dozen arrow towers or so.”
An extravagant comment by a certain Whale left many casual players speechless.
I hate it!
But not all Whales are equal. The top-notch Whale, Mr. Tan, said, “I won’t beat about the bush. I’ve trained three Professional Super Powers. My aim is to make it onto the trial list! Unfortunately, one of my rare troops didn’t perform well and failed to break through to the professional level, even losing some experience… It might be due to my haste.”
As he spoke, Mr. Tan thought of Mu Yuan, who owns three rare-rank troops.
In his heart, Mu Yuan was definitely a formidable opponent. If that Strong Shooter of his had already advanced to the professional level, that would make him an invincible city defender.
However…
“Mu Yuan seems to come from a civilian background, without any group investment, right? Then his strength at this stage may not be that great.”
Mr. Tan felt regretful, but understood that everyone has their own choice. Mu Yuan had chosen a difficult path in the early stage, but perhaps it could make things easier in the later stage.
In fact, he was also an independent lord, but he didn’t need to face hardship in the initial stage.
With this thought, Mr. Tan gave up on the idea of tagging Mu Yuan. Instead, he entered the Tai Xuan Forum to gather information on potential competitors who could make it to the list.
He left behind a newbie group that was blown up by his comment and was still bubbling with excitement.
“Three Professional Super Powers is indeed pretty impressive.”
Mu Yuan nodded slightly.
After all, disregarding his Skeleton General who could take on ten opponents single-handedly, the lowest rare three-star rank and talents, and the already initiated Spiritual Wisdom and other factors, his troops only comprised six professional powers, hardly stronger than Mr. Tan.
Mr. Tan, on the other hand, was just an ordinary Whale. The real threats were the second-generation Lords and the leading figures from various groups.
In the forum, newbie area, one live stream room after another was opened.
[Player ‘Tuna’ has shared real-time footage.J
[Player ‘Ten Billion in One Night’ has shared real-time footage.J
[Player ‘Red Rain’ has shared…]
[The player ‘Liver Emperor’ you follow has started a live stream.]
In his memory, Liver Emperor wasn’t someone who sought attention. There could only be one truth to this – it was all a task assigned by the group.
Mu Yuan clicked to enter.
The first thing he saw was the player’s perspective looking out from his own territory.
The night was dark, the stars scattered across the sky, and the arrow towers and watchtowers stood tall, blocking the view further out.
What people could see was tall towers’ backsides and the large, conspicuous advertising boards hanging there.
– ?[Choose Medicine God for the best medicines. The Medicine God Group promises all medicines sold are of premium quality.]
– ?[To celebrate the arrival of the new Lord Trial, all branches of Medicine King Pavilion under the Medicine God Group will offer a three-day 10% discount.]
– ?[The Medicine God Group sincerely invites…]
Mu Yuan:”…”
The case is cracked. It turns out that the famous large group ‘Medicine God’ stands behind Liver Emperor. It’s a group that primarily deals with potions and medicinal ingredients. No wonder even the weak Liver Emperor has visibly grown stronger – how could he not beef up eating supplements every day?
Liver Emperor is not one of the leading figures pushed out by the Medicine God Group. He’s just one of the new Lords they have signed up. He had to ‘sell himself as per the terms of the contract.
There are quite a few players like Liver Emperor.
Most of the players currently live streaming are doing so due to ‘group tasks’, while a handful are trying to build momentum to get a head start in future development, most of them being standouts among the new Lords.
And a very few are top-notch newbies overflowing with confidence and a desire to show off.
The second and third types of live streamers, quite a few of them hang an ‘Advertisement space for rent, inquire at XXX’ sign behind their arrow towers and watchtowers. If they can make it onto the trial list, they could make a fortune just by renting out advertising spaces. Mu Yuan was a little envious, but unfortunately, he was destined to be a man businesses could never have.
He keeps a low profile..
