Chapter 2 The Future Is Bright for the Skeleton in My House_2

But even so, after looking at some screenshots and video clips, Mu Yuan couldn't help but envy.

The spearmen were fierce, lightly armored, with one jab they could nearly kill a wolf, it certainly was beyond the likes of goblins and little Skeletons.

Even if their numbers were smaller, their overall strength was far superior.

He was sour with jealousy.

If the two-star troops were already so powerful, how formidable would the three-star troops be? Unfortunately, he discovered no player who lucked into a random roll of three-star troops, he didn't know if it was because Ou Huang was being lowkey or there simply didn't exist such a player.

Compared with the flamboyant start of the spearman player, other players were extremely miserable, and all the shared experiences were tragedies.

Even a two-star Half-Orc player, full of enthusiasm, was ambushed by a group of cave people while out exploring his territory and barely escaped at the cost of his troops.

It was quite dreadful.

"Even if the starting troops are slightly stronger, it's just a small advantage, there is still no capital to be arrogant... The waters of the Eternal Continent are very deep!"

With a grave expression, Mu Yuan quickly found a genuinely useful guide post.

It was real and detailed, filled with valuable information.

"The dangers in the Eternal Continent are everywhere. How you can establish footing initially determines a player's survival and future development. On this note, I offer the following suggestions:....."

"Don't rush to explore the outside world, try to utilize the resources within your own territory to create a favorable battle environment... We have to understand, this isn't just any game, therefore, as long as you have a will, there will be numerous achievable operations."

"After making full use of the resources, players can gradually probe the outside world. At this time, you should not venture too far from your territory. If conditions permit, try to lure the monsters into the initial village, relying on the previously arranged traps and fortifications to kill, so as to minimize losses."

"The Eternal Continent embodies some 'game mechanics'. Once you kill a monster, there's a chance to drop 'Soul Sand'. This is a common resource, which can be used for troop cultivation, level ups, and recovery. Also, killing enemies can also result in a lower probability drop of 'Remnant Souls of Troop Type'. Players can consume these materials and a certain amount of Soul Sand to recruit additional troop types."

"Blind exploration will put you in danger, but always sticking to the birthplace will also lead to slow death. Therefore, players need to take the initiative to go out and avoid powerful monsters, hunt weaker enemies, in this way they can keep strengthening themselves and resist the increasingly fierce enemy attacks."

"..."

"As time passes, players will face increasingly powerful enemies, only by passing the Novice Trial can they overcome the initial dilemma."

"I wish all players a victorious start, and if there are any questions, feel free to leave a comment below."

"Indeed, it's chock full of useful information!"

"If it weren't for this guide, I'd have to pay a heavy price to explore this information. Thanks to the poster, may you have a peaceful life."

"Now, even if the situation is still not great, but following the guide to defend and explore, maybe I can seize some opportunities."

If he just found the reward function, he would generously reward.

Oh, no money? Never mind.

Mu Yuan sincerely admired the person who wrote the guide, he benefited immensely from it.

He contemplated, "First, I need to create some traps based on the limited conditions in the broken village, such as pit traps and ground spike traps, at worst, some places to hide and ambush."

"I can look up the methods online, but... those dull little Skeletons, can they understand my instructions?"

Mu Yuan switched back to the game.

If the little Skeletons had a redeeming quality, it was that they would faithfully execute the orders of the Lord.

This was so much better compared to thieves, thugs, and goblins.

Indeed, as soon as he switched back to the game, he saw the little skeletons picking and dismantling... wait, what did you dismantle?

Bang —

Smoke and dust filled the air, a dilapidated cabin was completely knocked down under the effort of a skeleton.

This skeleton picked up a beam and scurried to his character, making a face as if seeking approval.

Mu Yuan: "..."

So, this is what the Skeletons' understanding of cleaning? I shouldn't expect intelligence from the little Skeletons, they don't even have a brain after all.

But it must be acknowledged, considering the cabin was leveled, the strength of the little Skeletons could not be ignored, Mu Yuan's previous thought about him being able to take on two was simply rash.

I underestimated you, Skeletons.

It even seeks approval, in some ways, the intelligence of this little skeleton isn't that bad, comparable to pets like cats and dogs.

"Alright, these wooden huts were dangerous buildings, and they needed to be demolished sooner or later. Now they're demolished and we get some material that can be used to set up traps."

"As for the problem of not having a house to live in... Skeletons don't need to live in a house, so it's perfectly reasonable to demolish these."

Mu Yuan took personal command, micro-managing the operation, for fear that the small Skeletons would ruin some reusable waste.

He also looked at the not so spacious village ruins, sweeping inch by inch with his eyes, pondering what kind of traps should be set.

Setting traps is also an art.

He must make maximum use of the traps and environmental advantages, to lower future losses as much as possible.

Mu Yuan moved his mouse, while observing and thinking. Suddenly, he paused his mouse, his gaze fixed on a small skeleton's head, suspecting he was hallucinating.

A faint, small, and inconspicuous "+0.01" appeared above the Skeleton's head, and disappeared after a while.

"What's going on?"

He looked at the other Skeletons and found that this was not an anomaly. Every once in a while, the '+0.01' symbol would appear above these Skeletons, as if some mechanism was triggered.

But, this wasn't the case with other players, right?

As he was thinking, a line of special characters jumped out from the middle of the screen.

'Skeleton Evolution Point: 0.13'

'A kind of indescribable great power, which can be applied to a certain type of troop, causing it to evolve – the current evolution points can only be applied to Skeleton troops.'

Evolution?

Why is the Eternal Continent so dangerous, if not because the power possessed by the players is too weak. If they can get a bunch of three-star level or even stronger troops, the situation would naturally not be difficult.

And now, it seems like my little Skeletons can constantly evolve, even cannon fodder soldiers could possess the stature of a great emperor!

There's hope for the future!

"Come to think of it, I have already been selected by the Supernatural Game and even crossed over. It's not excessive for me to possess just a bit more special ability."
