Chapter 286: Chapter 242: Architecture Transfer (3K)_1
The Rakshasas had not truly delved deep into the border zone, their main loot came from the bounty of the Goblin Hero.
“What’s inside?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t looked, I can’t understand.”
When Mu Yuan asked, Rakshasa honestly answered.
The long robe and huge sword the Goblin Hero possessed were rare pieces of equipment, the sword even being of the Excellent Tier.
‘Goblin Divine Sword’!
Possessing effects like ‘Slash’, ‘Armor Break’, ‘Cut’, ‘Pressure’, and more. Although it wasn’t worthy of being called a divine sword, it was still a very powerful treasure sword.
It was at least in the upper-middle class among weapons of the Excellent Tier.
This Goblin Hero, was wealthy.
Apart from these two items, the main treasures were the Goblin Hero’s storage ring and a precious box that was recognizable at a glance even without careful examination.
‘Box of Dawn Light (Rare)’
‘Description: Used for storing seeds or special medicinal materials. It can maintain their vitality and medicinal power, preventing them from weakening over time.’
Since this box was carried by the Goblin Hero at all times, it was likely that the items inside couldn’t be stored inside the storage ring.
If it was so precious, then what was stored inside it?
After Mu Yuan loaded Lu Liu and the Duo Lai template into his palm, which was enveloped in a faint glow, he opened the box.
Inside, a seed the size of a goose egg resided quietly.
‘???’
Through the Lord’s Eye, he was not able to discern the information about the seed.
Mu Yuan then took out several Identification Crystals. After fondling them, their projected light fell onto the seed.
This was repeated several times.
Soon, the information about the seed was revealed.
‘Ice Clear Fruit Tree Seed’
‘Tier: Excellent’
‘Description ®: Once planted, the Ice Clear Fruit Tree is able to rapidly absorb the fertility of the land, grow roots and sprout, growing stronger. After the tree matures, it grows fruits roughly every three years, yielding ten fruits each time. After three hundred years, this fruit tree has a possibility of producing a second seed.’
‘Note: This growth speed and fruit yield are the minimums guaranteed under the bare minimum conditions. As long as sufficient nourishment from earth’s force, special soil, or pouring of special power is provided, the growth of the Ice Clear Fruit Tree can be accelerated.’
‘Description @: The Ice Clear Fruit has a tranquilizing, illusion-breaking, and anti-corrosion effect.’
An excellent tier precious tree!
Moreover, it was an extremely rare tree that was difficult to produce seeds, and the fruits it yielded were naturally very precious.
However, the identification information was relatively simple. Mu Yuan returned to Lanxing and checked some information, soon obtaining results.
“The main effect of the Ice Clear Fruit is to resist the corrosion of the Red Fog, prevent the spirit from going crazy, the soul from being tainted when venturing deep into the Land of Filth. Of course, it does have the ability to break illusions, but it only applies to low and medium-level illusions. Moreover, many times, people who are trapped in illusions have no chance to use medicine, and only a very small number of whales always carry such potions.”
“Yes, the Ice Clear Fruit can exert its effects directly when eaten. However, using it this way is a waste.”
It takes three years to yield ten fruits.
Even if various methods could be used to shorten the time when the fruits can be yielded, one could still see the high cost of planting the Ice Clear Fruit.
The normal usage was to make Ice Clear Potions, using Ice Clear Fruit as the main ingredient and various other medicinal materials as auxiliary ingredients.
“However, due to the high price of the Ice Clear Potion, its sales volume in the market is not high. Many players would rather tolerate some Red Fog corrosion, and do not want to buy expensive potions unless necessary.”
Mu Yuan, on the other hand, found this kind of Ice Clear Potion quite useful.
The further out you go from your territory, the more Red Fog you’ll find in the world, like always being in a poisonous fog. Although this only happens during the Red Fog Disaster Moon, he was not sure what the deeper parts of the wilderness looked like at normal times.
The possibility of there being Red Fog was not low.
“Does the minimum growth environment here refer to the common farmland?”
The rare Gold Fertile Soil, for the Ice Clear Fruit Tree, might be just a good environment that could provide some benefits, but not much.
If one really wanted the fruit tree to grow, bloom, and bear fruit quickly, he would have to rely on the Flower Fairies.
Mu Yuan opened the Goblin Hero’s storage ring once more.
Inside it were a pile of Soul Sands, many Remnant Souls, and some broken items.
Rakshasa glanced a few times, couldn’t understand, then stopped looking.
It was like a black wooden stake was placed here.
Mu Yuan discarded all the items such as skulls from inside the ring, then organized it a little.
He didn’t find any documents or records.
He actually wanted to inquire into the origins of this wild Goblin Hero.
It was rumored that in the deepest part of the Dark Forest, there existed a monster power much more powerful than a Monster City, the ‘Goblin Kingdom’.
Pulling his thoughts back, Mu Yuan turned over a blueprint entwined with a strong green halo from the junk in front of him.
Miracle Blueprint!
‘Land of Class Change-Warrior’
‘Tier: Rare’
‘Description: Can turn ordinary citizens who meet the requirements and have no job tier into two-star troops ‘Warrior (Human Race)’.’
This was the most valuable item in the storage ring.
A Class Change Building.
“Among the buildings of the same tier, Class Change buildings are only less precious than Troop buildings. By comparison, this Miracle Blueprint is worth no less than an Excellent Tier Blueprint.”
Although, at first glance, changing some soldiers in Tianyuan Territory into warriors seemed meaningless.
The warrior was just a mere ordinary two-star troop.
The job-changing building, unlike the troop buildings, had effects such as cultivation enhancement, experience growth, and environmental transformation.
It could only provide a platform for civilians to change jobs, the prerequisite being that the would-be job changers meet its requirements.
However, there was one advantage that job-changing buildings had over troop buildings, which was…
There were no limits on the number of places available.
Many lords selectively awarded talented individuals from their territories with job-changing opportunities, building formidable defensive troops in the process.
Mu Yuan didn’t need to assemble a citizen militia; all he needed was one thing.
Evolution Points.
“Territory citizens can’t provide Evolution Points, but units like Sophia and Daisy, who are both witch troops and territory citizens, can provide a certain amount of Evolution Points.”
“The same applies to other territory citizens who have a job ranking.”
When the refugees arrived, a few of them brought their own pre-existing job ranks.
‘Spearman’, ‘Wizard Apprentice’, ‘Swordsman’, and the like were considered as R, SR talents among the refugees.
Mu Yuan noticed that these individuals could generate Evolution Points.
He even tried something else.
Over the years…or rather, months, the exploration team of his household had obtained more than one or two Heritage Stones.
Initially, he sold all of the Heritage Stones, but later, when he no longer lacked one or two, two or three Soul Crystals, he held onto some suitable Heritage Stones and gave them to his contributing territory citizens.
Upon changing their jobs, these territory citizens would simultaneously possess the identity of a territory citizen and a troop.
If they changed their jobs to a human job rank, they would produce Human Evolution Points.
If they changed to a non-human job rank, they would produce other forms of Evolution Points.
For Master Li Erniu, who made the most contributions among the territory citizens, Mu Yuan even intentionally purchased a Heritage Stone online and granted it to him, making him evolve. Now, Master Li Erniu was an excellent three-star ‘Master of Arms’.
This job rank was proficient in all sorts of weapons and could analyze the structure of weapon equipment, which greatly benefited Master Li Erniu in forging equipment regardless of his combat power.
Once a Heritage Stone was used, one would inevitably change jobs to its corresponding job rank. Humans wishing to change jobs to become ‘Succubi’ or ‘Tauren Warriors’ would face no obstacles.
Job-changing buildings were slightly different, requiring prerequisite conditions to be met.
Mu Yuan was quite satisfied with obtaining a human job-changing building.
“What a pity, it’s a job-changing place for two-star warrior troops. If it were a job-changing building for one-star Militia, it would be even better.”
Time passed by.
At sunrise, the territory citizens and various intelligent troops gradually arrived at the perimeter of the territory, vigorously building the Black Rock City Wall, which brought everyone a strong sense of security.
When the Monster Tide arrived, construction temporarily stopped. The territory citizens returned to town, while various troops set out to battle.
Days and nights passed in cycles.
One day after another went by.
If you looked down from a high point in the Tianyuan Territory and significantly fast-forwarded time, you could see – with the naked eye – the city walls being built, bit by bit.
On the third day, the north city wall was completed, forming an arc to protect the territory.
On this day, the territory encountered three batches of Monster Tide.
On the sixth day, the city wall on the west side, directly opposite the Dark Forest, and on the south side, which included many farming areas, were also built.
On this day, the territory encountered four batches of Monster Tide.
On the eighth day, outside the north city wall, a fortress surrounded by several ten-metre-long city walls was built to attract monster fire.
This adjustment was made in response to the Monster Tide situation.
On the tenth day, the eleventh day, the twelfth day.
One day after another, the territory visibly changed.
However, the red fog outside the territory had also unsuspectedly become thicker.
There were also many changes within the territory.
Mu Yuan purchased and built two new ‘Cultivation Quiet Rooms’.
One was located in the Skeleton Cemetery area and the other in the Ice Spirit Cold Pool area.
One of the main combat forces, General Duo Lai, under Mu Yuan’s urging, spent more than twelve hours a day cultivating, immersed in the Cultivation Quiet Room.
“I, General Duo Lai, will definitely defeat the enemy.”
He was practicing earnestly.
He lay on his desk, talking in his sleep.
He woke up in surprise, pinched his cheeks, stretched and rubbed his cheeks like rubber bands. Once he was awake, he continued trying his best to cultivate.
“General Duo Lai, never…never will lose…”
General Dead Bone also took the time to cultivate, striving to step into the Fourth-order Leader Level as soon as possible. But it was also worried that Bone Two and other skeletons wouldn’t be able to handle it, so it couldn’t help but personally go outside to investigate the situation.
The warrior job changing building was built in the southern part of the territory.
Under the arrangement of Isloa and Lu Liu, batches of territory citizens orderly went to the job-changing building.
“This is an opportunity from the gracious Lord to change your fate. You must firmly grasp and cherish it.”
After changing jobs, even without cultivating to raise their level, these people’s physical strength could still visibly improve.
They would become resistant to both cold and heat, and common diseases would not be able to affect them.
Whether it was construction bricklaying or swinging a hoe for farming, the strength these ‘warriors’ exuded would not go to waste.
