He opened the synthesis formula.
Rene placed the basic materials and the body part inside.
[Formula: (Warrior) + (Machete) = (???)]
[The fee is 50 silver coins. Would you like to confirm this edit?]
The cost of synthesis was 50 silver coins, which was increased by five times.
However, Rene grinned because the higher the cost, the stronger the creation.
50 silver coins was completely acceptable.
"Yes."
After Rene chose to edit, the machete and the warrior turned into light and fused, forming a new unit.
Ding!

[Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Blade Warrior!]
It was still a warrior with a machete in hand.
Unlike the militia soldier, this warrior was more powerful and his muscles were more obvious.
————
[Unit]: Blade Warrior (Rank 1 Soldier)
[Race]: Human
[Grade]: Ordinary
[Level]: 1
[Health]: 30 (0 ↑)
[Damage]: 6-10 (3-5 ↑)
[Hire Cost]: 10 silver coins per week
[Racial Talent]: Sharpness (Has a high armor-piercing effect on the target)
[Skill]: Slash
Description: When warriors learn to use weapons, they will have greater combat strength.

It could be seen that the blade warriors had even stronger attributes.
Although his health did not change, the damage was doubled. He also gained the talent [Sharpness] and skill [Slash].
The latter effect was the characteristics of professional soldiers. Only with talent and skills could they be considered professional soldiers.
Moreover, this blade warrior only needed 10 silver coins to hire. It was 40 silver coins less than other professional soldiers. It was really worth it.
However, the surprise was not over.
A real show was about to begin.
Rene had wanted to try editing the fire runes for a long time.
The effect of the fire runes was to give the tool the ability to condense fire elements. In other words, it was to give something fire magic power.
What if he added it to the professional soldiers?
Professional soldiers had stronger attributes. If they obtained the power of fire magic, they would definitely be stronger.
Moreover, the experiment had succeeded on the slime.
Now, it depended on the effect it had on the human soldiers.
Logically speaking, humans had higher intelligence than other soldiers, so their understanding of magic was definitely higher.
At the very least, it should be much higher than the slime!
"It's all up to you now!"
Rene summoned a spear soldier.
This spear soldier was an important resource in the territory, and the fire runes were also a very rare resource.
Therefore, this attempt must not fail.
Otherwise, Rene would feel miserable.
Huff—
Taking a deep breath, Rene activated the skill.
Then, he threw the two materials in.
[(Spear Soldier) + (Fire Rune) = (???)]
[The fee is 3 gold coins. Would you like to confirm this edit?]
Cough! Cough!
Rene stared at the notification in shock and coughed several times.
The editing fee was actually 3 gold coins?
Although it was true that the higher the cost, the better the effect, this cost was a disaster for a newly born Overlord.
Even Rene could not take it.
He took a few deep breaths before calming down.
Eventually, Rene chose to do it.
To him, gold coins were precious, but the result of the edit was even more important. It was not something that three gold coins could measure.
Boom!
With Rene's confirmation, the fire runes instantly disintegrated into fiery light and began to coil around the spear soldier.
The light became brighter and brighter, and the ball of light quickly formed.
At the same time, a pleasant reminder sounded.
Ding!

[Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Blazing Spear Soldier!]
————
[Unit]: Blazing Spear Soldier (Rank 1 Soldier)
[Race]: Human
[Grade]: Elite
[Level]: 1
[Health]: 80 (50 ↑)
[Damage]: 11-18 (5-8 ↑)
[Hire Cost]: 50 silver coins per week
[Racial Talent]: Fire Control (Can control fire elements to fight)
[Skill]: Rapid Fire Thrust.
Introduction: Spear soldiers who have mastered fire magic are the elites among warriors.
————
The light dissipated, and a warrior with fire runes engraved on his body stood in front of Rene.
Although the change was not great, the aura he revealed was indeed very different.
Perhaps this was how magic felt.
From the interface, it could be seen that after editing the fire rune, the spear soldier had become an elite soldier—Blazing Spear Soldier
Compared to ordinary spear soldiers, his attributes had nearly doubled.
Not only that, but his skills also dealt magic damage.
For the soldiers in the early stages, magic damage was very difficult to resist.
"3 gold coins was not a waste."
Rene was pleased with the result.
An elite Blazing Spear Soldier could easily defeat a few ordinary spear soldiers.
Most importantly, his weekly employment fee was only 50 silver coins. Moreover, because it was Rene who helped him increase his strength, his loyalty to Rene was also very high, so he could unleash greater strength when carrying out missions.
The only thing that made Rene depressed was the expense.
Editing an elite soldier required three gold coins and a fire rune. This cost was too high.
To edit all the warriors, 17 gold coins and 4 fire runes were needed.
Moreover, 17 gold coins was only the cost for the first week.
In the next week, they would still need 17 gold coins.
If the Overlord could not give them enough, their loyalty would quickly drop and they would quickly leave the territory.
"There are only 4 gold coins left."
Rene edited everyone, and the funds in the territory were emptied.
The economic crisis had arrived!
If this problem was not solved, the incredible strength he had built would be gone in a week.
With that in mind, Rene began calculating the funds encountered in the territory.
As of now, his territory construction process was much faster than others. Many of the buildings inside had been completed.
For example, the blacksmith shop with a machete blueprint was a very good source of income.
There were also many iron pieces in the warehouse.
As a qualified merchant, he should create what everyone needed as soon as possible and collect more resources to prepare for the subsequent goods.
Only by constantly racking up the funds would he be able to benefit from others and not be reduced to being exploited.
