Late at night, in an old cabin.
Mu Yuan sat in front of the computer, looking at the game scene that was very similar but not so real, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Is this a game?
How could this be a game!
Whether it was the illusion just now or the few clues he had found before, Mu Yuan knew that he was afraid of being hit by an extraordinary game.
Good news, you have the key to transcendence;
Bad news, he may not be around for long.
"Don't panic, it's useless to panic."
"Since there is extraordinary power in this world, the real world may not be very safe. Now that we have the opportunity to touch the extraordinary, it is a good thing... This is an opportunity that many rich people can only ask for!"
Mu Yuan forced himself not to panic.
In the game, the village is very dilapidated and has been abandoned for an unknown period of time.
There are some thick trees growing scattered around, and there seems to be a forest in the distance, but it is covered with gray fog and cannot be seen clearly.
When Mu Yuan dragged the map farther away, all he saw was darkness.
Unknown, dangerous darkness.
In the center of the dilapidated village, stars of light suddenly fell down. These lights were like shooting stars and paintbrushes, outlining, intertwining, and condensing, and gradually formed and manifested an altar.
An altar engraved with mysterious formations and about two and a half meters in diameter.
On the altar, the remaining starlight gathered to form a silhouette. Although it was a bird's eye view and a game character, Mu Yuan could still tell at a glance that this handsome guy was him.
It is his fulcrum in the game world and the Eternal Continent. If he dies, everyone dies.
At this time, there were scalding fonts on the game screen, appearing one after another.
"Randomizing..."
"Tip: You have obtained a batch of initial troops - Little Skeletons x 10."
——
"Little Skeleton (Unnamed)"
"Level: Ordinary★"
"Level: Level 0 and Level 1"
"Skill: None"
"Talent: None"
"Introduction: A common undead creature. Although it is poor and weak, it is cost-effective and is good at evil group fighting tactics."
As the prompt message faded, the mysterious formations on the altar began to glow, and the space rippled slightly. One after another, thin and leaky skeletons, holding a rusty machete, walked out of the altar.
They crowded together, squeezing all the game characters representing Mu Yuan off the altar.
The image of the little skeleton was similar to what Mu Yuan expected.
The bones on his body are grey-black, his body is thin, and his walking posture is a bit rickety. He has no equipment except a worn-out weapon, and is only wearing a ragged piece of clothing that can barely cover his body.
It is indeed the legendary little skeleton of the cannon fodder unit.
The corner of Mu Yuan's mouth twitched. Putting aside his charming appearance, he felt that this little skeleton could beat two with one!
"It starts with a ruined village and several disabled soldiers. No wonder this game is very difficult. You can send it at any time... It would be easy to send it to anyone else!"
"It seems that the initial units randomly received by other players are not that good either. There are militiamen, goblins, and even slimes. In comparison, the little skeletons are just okay."
Aside from the shortcomings of slow movement, bad equipment, low intelligence, poor attack and defense, etc., the little skeleton actually has many advantages, such as this and that.
Mu Yuan can't see any difference among these ten little skeletons yet.
He looked outside the village, at the area shrouded in thick gray fog, and did not dare to let his skeleton go out for the time being.
He only had ten initial soldiers, and he couldn't afford to lose any of them.
But if you just give it a try, the game environment will be affected sooner or later.
"This game does not have any guidance prompts, but since it is a game...or a world with extraordinary power, there must be ways to improve it."
"The level of the little skeleton is an ordinary one-star, just like goblins and slimes. It may not be possible to improve the level according to the game routine, but the level of the arms is not difficult, right?"
"We have to figure out how to upgrade the skeletons, or find ways to recruit more little skeletons. These can effectively increase the defense power of the territory."
The problem is that Mu Yuan doesn't understand any of the above.
But it doesn't matter, he may be able to find the answer he wants on the secret forum where he gained a lot of information just now.
After Mu Yuan gave the instructions to the little skeletons to "stick to and clean up the village," he switched to the secret forum and started browsing more seriously.
Now it is certain that there are many 'game players' in this forum. They have shared their knowledge and experiences, and even the help posts contain many details.
This is the game guide.
Of course, there are also many newly made-up stories.
"Now that I have entered the game and have real examples to refer to, I can naturally tell whether these posts are genuine information or fabricated."
In one of the posts, the poster bluntly said that he randomly selected a dragon troop, killed monsters, and upgraded. But when he entered the game, he didn't compile it correctly, and he was sure it was false at first glance.
The vast majority of randomly obtained units for players are ordinary one-star bastards. Only a few can randomly obtain ordinary two-star units, such as spearmen, archers, and orcs.
And compared with the powerful units, the initial number of soldiers is smaller. A player who randomly sent out spearmen said that he only started with six soldiers, while players such as small skeletons and goblins all started with 10 soldiers. Only.
But even so, after seeing some screenshots and video clips, Mu Yuan was still extremely envious.
The spearmen are very powerful. They wear light armor and can kill a wild wolf half to death with one shot. This is not comparable to goblins and small skeletons.
Even if the number is smaller, the overall strength is still greatly dominant.
He is a lemon.
The two-star troops are so powerful, how can the three-star troops be so good? Unfortunately, he didn't find any player who randomly selected a three-star unit, and he didn't know whether it was because the European Emperor was keeping a low profile or because there were no such players at all.
Compared with the coolness of the Lancer player at the beginning, other players are very miserable, and the experiences they share are all tragic.
There was even a player who started as a two-star Orc. He excitedly walked out of the territory to explore, but was ambushed by a group of cavemen. In the end, he barely escaped with a lot of losses.
It was also very miserable.
"Even if the troops are stronger at the beginning, they will only have a slight advantage, and there is far from a waste of capital... The water in the Eternal Continent is very deep!"
Mu Yuan looked solemn, and soon he found a real strategy post.
It is true and detailed, and contains a lot of useful information.
"The Eternal Continent is full of dangers, and how to gain a foothold in the early stage is related to the player's life and subsequent development. In this regard, I give the following suggestions:..."
"Don't rush to explore the outside world, try to use the resources in your own territory to create a combat environment that is beneficial to you... We have to understand that this is not a simple game, so as long as you think about it, there are many operations that can be achieved."
"After making full use of resources, players can gradually explore the outside world. It is not advisable to go too far out of the territory at this time. If conditions permit, try to pull the monsters into the initial village and kill them with the help of previously arranged traps and fortifications to reduce your own losses."
"The Eternal Continent has some 'game mechanics'. Once a monster is killed, there is a chance that 'soul sand' will explode. This is a general resource that can be used for training, upgrading and recovery of troops. At the same time, killing the enemy has There is a small probability of dropping 'Remnant Souls of Troops'. Players can consume this material and a certain amount of soul sand to recruit additional troops."
"Blind exploration will put oneself into crisis, but sticking to the place of birth is just a slow death. Therefore, players need to take the initiative to avoid powerful monsters and hunt weak enemies. Only in this way can they continue to strengthen themselves and resist increasingly fierce enemy attacks. .”
"..."
"As time goes by, players will face more and more powerful enemies, and they will not be able to overcome the initial difficulties until they pass the novice trial."
"I wish all players a successful start. If you have any questions, please leave a message below."
“It’s really full of useful information!”
"Without this guide, I would have to pay a heavy price to find out this information. Thank you to the poster, he will have a safe life."
"Now, even if the situation is still not good, if we follow the strategy to defend and explore, we might be able to gain some life."
If he hadn't been unable to find the reward function, he would have given him a generous reward.
Oh, he has no money? That's okay.
Mu Yuan truly admired the person who wrote the guide from the bottom of his heart, and he benefited greatly.
He pondered, "First of all, I have to create some traps based on the limited conditions in the dilapidated village, such as pothole traps, ground thorn traps, or even make some convenient hiding places for sneak attacks."
"I can search the Internet for how to do it, that is... can those stupid little skeletons really understand my instructions?"
Mu Yuan switches back to the game.
One thing about the little skeletons is worthy of praise. They will spare no effort to carry out the orders of the lord.
This is much better than thieves, thugs, goblins and the like.
Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the game, he saw the little skeleton picking up and dismantling... Wait, what did you dismantle?
Bang——
Smoke and dust filled the air, and a dilapidated hut collapsed completely after being demolished by a certain skeleton.
The skeleton picked up a beam and trotted up to his character, looking like he was asking for credit.
Mu Yuan: "..."
So is this the skeleton’s definition of tidying up? I really can't have any expectations for the IQ of the little skeletons, they don't even have brains.
However, there is one thing to say. It can demolish the dilapidated wooden house and it can be seen that the little skeleton is very powerful. Mu Yuan's previous idea that he could fight one against two was really hasty.
It's me who underestimated you.
He also takes credit. In a sense, the intelligence of this little skeleton is not that bad, comparable to that of pet cats and dogs.
"That's all. These dilapidated wooden houses are inherently dangerous and will have to be demolished and rebuilt sooner or later. Now we have demolished them to obtain some materials, which can be used to lay traps."
"As for the problem of not having a house to live in...the skeleton itself doesn't need a house to live in, so it makes sense to demolish it."
Mu Yuan personally directed the micro-operation this time, for fear that the little skeleton would destroy some usable scraps.
At the same time, he set his sights on the small village ruins, scanning them inch by inch, thinking about what kind of trap he should lay.
Laying traps is also a science.
He must make the most of traps and environmental advantages to minimize future losses.
Mu Yuan moved the mouse, observing and thinking. Suddenly, he clicked the mouse and his eyes rested on the top of a certain small skull, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
A faint, tiny, very inconspicuous +0.01 appeared from the skeleton and faded away after a while.
"What's happening here?"
He looked at the other skeletons and found that this was not an isolated case. After a while, a faint '+0.01' symbol would appear above the heads of these skeletons, as if some mechanism had been triggered.
But, this hasn’t happened to other players?
Just as he was thinking about it, a line of special characters jumped out from the middle of the screen.
"Skeleton evolution point: 0.13"
"An indescribable great power can act on a certain type of soldier to evolve it - the current evolution point can only be used for skeleton-type units."
evolution?
The reason why the Eternal Continent is extremely dangerous is not because the players' power is too weak. If they can obtain a bunch of three-star or even more powerful troops, the situation will naturally not be embarrassing.
But now, it seems that our little skeletons can continue to evolve, and the cannon fodder soldiers can also have the appearance of an emperor!
The future is promising!
"If you think about it carefully, I have traveled through time and been selected by an extraordinary game, so it wouldn't be too much to have a little more special abilities now."
