Chapter 26: Resources Armament!

```

[A brilliant victory, you have gained 8250 Experience.]

[You have scavenged, gaining]

[Basic Resources: 5000 units of Wood, 5000 units of Minerals, 5000 units of Food]

[Special Resources: 500 units of Mercury, 500 units of Gemstone, 500 units of Crystal, 500 units of Sulfur]

[Gold Coin×50000]

[Points×5000]

[Your Level has been raised to LV4]

[You have gained 1 Free Attribute Point]

[You may choose one Skill from the following three Skills]

[1. Basic Magic Power (Attack magic damage increased by 5%)]

[2. Basic Offensive Skill (Increases damage of melee attacks by 10%)]

[3. Basic Reconnaissance Skill (Can investigate enemy information up to your own Rank)]

[Your Level has been raised to LV5]

[You have gained 1 Free Attribute Point]

[You may choose one Skill from the following three Skills]

[1. Basic Wisdom Skill (Allows learning of Level 3 Magic)]

[2. Basic Defense Skill (Reduce physical attack damage received by 5%)]

[3. Basic Tactics (Marching speed +10%, command effect +10%)]

This wave directly raised Qin Muye's Level to 5. After a glance, he chose Basic Reconnaissance Skill and Basic Wisdom Skill.

The Basic Reconnaissance Skill was originally a temporary skill, and after obtaining it, the word "temporary" disappeared, while for the Basic Wisdom Skill, he felt that it could link with his Intermediate Academic Research, Intermediate Enlightenment, and Learning Ability, so he chose it. After all, it carried the word "wisdom".

As for Basic Magic Power... he had a Skill Book on hand, so there was no need to waste it, and more importantly, he didn't need it.

Demon Blood also leveled up, although it only gained one level, reaching Level 5. It didn't have an experience boost like Qin Muye, so it only gained a normal 5000 points of Experience.

Demon Blood upgraded Basic Tactics to Intermediate Tactics, and the effects were doubled as well.

[Intermediate Tactics (Marching speed +20%, command effect +20%)]

The effects were still quite good.

[Lord/Scholar LV5 (3385/6200)]

[Hero: Demon Blood·Spirit Monster LV5 (4770/6200)]

So Qin Muye felt that leveling up had never been a problem for him, even if Demon Blood went out every day to raid and kill monsters, this wave alone directly closed the gap, leaving only about a thousand Experience points difference.

If the Enlightenment Skill is further improved later on, it will be even more powerful.

"Five times the difficulty, five times the reward, tsk tsk..." Qin Muye, looking at the rewards, actually felt a bit daunted.

He was worried that if 1,000 undead came tomorrow, what would he do?

And who knew what type of troops would arrive tomorrow? What if cavalry or heavy armor soldiers came?

Fortunately, he soon calmed down and first redeemed the Sulfur Workshop and Crystal Room from the Points Store, then learned how to build both.

As for the remaining 3,000 points, Qin Muye didn't exchange them for the Reclassification Certificate he needed right away. Instead, he chose to redeem the blueprints for the Blacksmith and Trading House and built them after learning.

He needed to equip the Magic Energy Spirit Monsters with gear, or else they really wouldn't be able to hold out tomorrow, so he had to take a gamble.

The Blacksmith could forge equipment so that at least they could produce their own in the future. If they could buy some, that would be even better, as it could solve their urgent needs. As for the market, it was naturally for buying supplies.

He could only purchase as much equipment as he could forge today, so he had to spend money. What else could he do?

The two blueprints together cost 1,000 points. With the remaining 2,000 points, Qin Muye didn't use them but saved them for an emergency when he planned to exchange them for Magic Scrolls to turn the tide.

"Demon Blood, no need to go out searching for traces of the Undead Clan this afternoon. Train two batches of Magic Energy Spirit Monsters as soon as possible, and turn all of them into Elite Level. By the time you exploit the BUG, it will be past midnight and they can rest during the day. By then, we will have one batch of elites and one batch two-thirds through their progress," he said.

At that moment, Qin Muye could not care too much and had to exploit them relentlessly.

"Yes, Master," Demon Blood naturally agreed. For him, this was not a big problem.

Soon, Demon Blood took 100 Magic Energy Spirit Monsters into the training ground. As for production, Qin Muye had no choice but to suffer some losses, but with the compensation wave of today, it was still sufficient.

He wouldn't touch the Gold Coins since he still wanted to buy equipment.

Otherwise, sending the Magic Energy Spirit Monsters into battle unarmed would be at a severe disadvantage.

"If I'm not mistaken, the monster siege this time is very likely to have drawn troops from a nearby Undead Force. If that's the case, Champion Level or even Hero units may appear in the next few days," he hypothesized.

This was both good and bad news.

The good news was that if he managed to survive this monster siege, then the nearby Undead Force would definitely fall into vulnerability, allowing him to send Demon Blood to exterminate this weakened force and prevent future troubles.

However, the bad news was he had to survive the next five monster sieges and preserve enough strength. Otherwise, either his territory would be breached and all would be lost, or he would be too damaged to send out troops.

Therefore, it was a huge gamble.

Of course, there was another possibility, which was that the Undead Force's strength was beyond Qin Muye's imagination, with the enemy fearless despite such losses. If that turned out to be the case, Qin Muye would have to think of something else.

The Blacksmith and Market were quickly constructed.

As expected, the former could forge equipment, which included the Standard Set that came with a Standard Helmet, longsword, long knife, etc. Other equipment required blueprints, and forging also needed materials, like iron ore for the Standard Set, which was hard to come by.

Qin Muye wasn't counting on the Blacksmith, looking instead towards the Market, which had two sections: the store and the Trading House.

The former was the default store in "Lord Era," while the latter was where Lords conducted their trades.

Qin Muye naturally chose the store, where there weren't many good items, mostly basic ones.

This pleased him very much.

He quickly found the equipment he needed.

[Standard Set: Includes helmet, armor, shield, self-selected weapon. Price: 100 Gold Coins, 10 units of wood, 10 units of minerals]

Without hesitation, Qin Muye swiftly snapped up 201 sets, then used the remaining Gold Coins to recruit 18 Magic Energy Spirit Monsters, making a total of 200. He wanted to recruit more but had other plans for the resources.

All weapons chosen were long knives suitable for battle. Then he distributed all the equipment. The extra set naturally went to Demon Blood. He already had equipment, but the longsword wasn't very handy for him. For a brute force Hero like him, a knife was more suitable than a sword.
