Mu Yuan directly entered the Baiyun State section, browsing through the conditions of his ‘competitors’.
But most of the newcomers weren’t foolish, those greenhands who were once boastful about their achievements on the forum had almost disappeared these past two days, replaced by a growing number of people who are seeking sympathy.
“Hell, I attacked a gang of goblins today, unexpectedly encountering an ambush that cost me two of my generals. Shit, the resource assessment is tomorrow, how am I supposed to live? How?!”
Below were a host of fellow heartbroken players.
The heartbreaking lament seemed to leak through the forum.
“I had the same experience! My poor generals died so tragically.
“Who doesn’t suffer from this, I originally went out today to earn a little money for my troops, but I ran into a level 7 Big Goblin. If it weren’t for my men protecting me at the cost of their lives, I might not have been able to return.
Even so, I lost three spearmen. There’s no hope for the assessment tomorrow, sigh, 1 should just give up.”
“Well, I envy you guys who lost troops, I’m different. I only have a few soldiers in total. Tomorrow, I’ll just go to the Association to join in the fun, acting as green leaves for the big shots.”
“Exactly! My entire domain is only three goblins, I’m just here to make up
numbers.”
“The person above, you’re not as bad as me, I only have one little skeleton left
in my whole domain.”
After reading, Mu Yuan fell into silence, his mouth twitching.
You guys aren’t even trying to make your stories convincing.
However, it seemed that among these sympathy seekers, there were a few that really expressed their sorrow, either they were extremely good with words, or they were honestly unfortunate.
Their main forces had suffered massive casualties.
However, it was only a few of them who suffered so much.
As more and more fabricated sob stories were posted, even honest people could see what was going on, and the initial few who were genuinely unfortunate
also fell silent.
Damn it!
It was a particularly peaceful night in the domain.
Watching Bone Three kill several grey wolves with a crackle, Mu Yuan nodded slightly and closed his computer.
Because of the numerous tasks for tomorrow, not only the resource assessment but also the need to take the rare opportunity to go out and purchase various supplies, Mu Yuan ate a RedBlood fruit, exercised a little, and then went to bed early after washing.
The night passed without a word.
The deep night in Baijiang City was quiet and peaceful.
Only in the other world, skeleton soldiers and little skeletons patrolled the domain dutifully, wielding their cutlasses to stab through the bodies of monsters, causing blood to splatter around before they carefully picked up the soul sand that emerged.
Some of the new little skeletons weren’t very smart and didn’t understand what soul sand collection was. At this point, the older skeleton soldiers would knock on their skull and patiently teach them.
This custom passed down among the skeletons.
On the next day, Mu Yuan woke up early. The morning light was dim, wisps of brightness gradually breaking the darkness that had enveloped everything overnight, bringing hope for a new day.
-The resource assessment begins at eight-thirty in the morning and will be conducted in batches, but I need to go there earlier to gather some information and develop an appropriate battle plan.”
“In addition, the players association will probably be much livelier than usual today. I might be able to acquire more little skeletons and remnant souls of slimes.”
Mu Yuan glanced at the situation in his domain.
Last night, monsters were quite enthusiastic, sending three waves in total. One of the waves dropped a remnant soul.
He maneuvered his character to a rundown wooden house that was tentatively designated as the warehouse and checked the stock.
Aside from the four rare-level items, among the common-level items, the most valuable were the remnant souls. Among them, there were two three-star copper remnant figurines and six regular random remnant souls.
In addition, there were 525g of soul sand, as well as various common materials worth about 3OO-4OOg of soul sand.
Conclusion: He was still poor.
He was extremely poor if he ignored the sellable Shaman Inheritance Stone and two three-star remnant souls. If he were to supply all of his troops for cultivation, 500g of soul sand would only last a little more than a day.
Of course, it was impossible for troop types to be cultivating 24/7, and aside from the top tier Whales, nobody could probably supply Soul Sand to all troop types,
Even top-tier Whales probably wouldn’t provide too many resources for one or two-star ‘cannon fodder.’
Mu Yuan was different; given the chance, he still wanted to provide for all of them. He didn’t have any cannon fodders; the future was promising for all his troop types.
But he was well aware that the larger the army, the more Soul Sand would be consumed each day. Continuous full supply was not very realistic.
“They say some powerful domains have Miracle Buildings that don’t consume Soul Sand but can still slowly level up the troops. This is why Great Lords can cultivate armies of tens or hundreds of thousands of elite troops.
Thinking about it, he was somewhat excited.
Then he returned to his impoverished reality.
Bidding farewell to Dead Bone, instructing it to guard the house well, the great Lord Shepherd began his quest. He scanned a rental E -bike by the roadside and rode directly to the Players Association in the city center.
The Players Association was bustling today.
Some players walked here, some took rides to the corner of the street, and many drove their cars directly into the parking lot inside the Association.
Outside, the streets were crowded. One after another, workers hurriedly began a new day of non-stop work. Hustling and rushing were just ordinary modern cityscapes.
Inside, luxury cars were parked, and players drew circles with their hands, summoning out armored, formidable warriors.
They were like two different worlds inside and outside.
After all, the Xuan Country’s Authority had regulations that forbade revealing supernatural power in front of ordinary people. But inside the Association, everyone was a player or knew about the existence of the supernatural. As long as they didn’t bother others or damage public property, they could show off however they wanted.
There were even practice areas and an arena inside the association free for player use. They could have troop exercises and personally witness their troops’ power in reality.
Mu Yuan also wanted to try a bit, but only a tiny bit.
How could he possibly summon Dead Bone in front of everybody? He was a low-key, common player.
Moreover, once the Lord Trial was completed, he could likely witness Dead Bone’s power in person.
That wouldn’t take long.
Traffic of players inside the Association today was non-stop. Even those not preparing for an assessment, most of the newbies would also come to join in on the fun.
Especially now that most of the newbies had already moved to the safe area, where there wasn’t much survival pressure. Wasting one or two days doing nothing didn’t matter.
It was just to make up for the nerves being on edge these past few days.
Despite that, there were ridiculously many players at the Association today, 10 or 20 times more than a few days ago.
Did so many people need to gather for a Newbie Resource Assessment?
“Bro, don’t you know? The entrants in today’s examination are not only the newbies from our Baijiang City but also from the neighboring Linjiang City, Jiangbei City, and Dongming City.”
“It’s an examination across four cities, which has always been the case.
“The Baiyun Association is allocated a certain amount of benefits, which are then distributed to each assessment point, Baijiang Assessment Point being one of them. In other words, us Baijiang Sicheng’s ten or so registrants will compete for these spots.”
Familiar voices came from not far away.
The speaker was Old Brother Mai Wa, though he wasn’t wearing his frog suit today and was dressed in a suit and tie, looking like he was about to sell insurance.
Wait, how did Old Brother Mai Wa know so much?
Miss White Fox next to him was also very surprised. Didn’t they choke together in the game? He cheated!
Old Brother Mai Wa chuckled, “I indeed poorguyed out, had absolutely no confidence in defending the territory, but haha, after becoming a player, I found out that my second uncle’s daughter is also a player. With her recommendation, I’m now an intern at a big shot’s company.”
“So, I know a little bit more.”
Old Brother Mai Wa grinned, a smile that many poorguys envied..
