Due to the experiment, two slimes were sacrificed.
The remaining eight slimes had been edited, so Rene could not experiment with them.
As he did not have any tools, the laborers could not be edited for the time being.
In the end, after a boring wait, Rene picked up the machete on the ground and began training.
As a human living in this world, even as an Overlord, Rene felt that he should have some strength.
To be honest, if not for the fact that his life would be in danger in seven days, he might have dedicated himself to exercising.
After all, he was a hot-blooded young man who had extraordinary expectations for the powers of the other world.
Huff—
Huff—
Huff—
Facing the air, Rene raised his blade and slashed repeatedly.
This was not professional training.
There was no knowledge of this in his mind.
Rene could only make subtle adjustments with each slash until he found the position that he thought was most appropriate and then trained in this aspect.
With a certain degree of proficiency, his combat strength would definitely be greatly improved.
"By the way, can I edit myself?"
During training, Rene suddenly had a more bold idea.
If one day, he obtained a very, very powerful material.
Could he edit it on himself?
For example, by editing the muscles of a giant dragon, would it give him the strength of a giant dragon?
Rene thought of the dragons he had seen in anime, they were the most powerful beings in the world.
If he could obtain their strength, he would be able to suppress the entire world.
Thinking of this, Rene could not help but laugh.
But then he shook his head again.
No, no!
He could not have such thoughts.
Thinking about the outcome of the slime during the merging process.
If the edit failed, he would probably be dead.
He could not attempt this even if he was beaten to death. It was too dangerous. After all, if it was a material left behind by a powerful creature, how could a human body withstand it?
Rene quickly gathered his thoughts and focused on training.
100 times!
200 times…
Rene slashed with his machete.
If he was tired during the training, he would rest well.
Several hours passed, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded in Rene's ear.
Ding!
[Congratulations on obtaining the building: Barracks!]
"It's finally built!"
Rene put away his machete and quickly arrived before the building.
It was also a wooden house, but there were signs made of swords, hammers, spears, and other weapons hanging on it. It was very imposing.

[Barracks] (Rank 1 Construction)
[Level]: 1
[Function]: Cost of recruitment per week: Warrior x10 (10 silver coins per person), Archer x2 (50 silver coins per person), Spear Soldier x2 (50 silver coins per person)
[Description]: An ordinary barracks can recruit some warriors and professional soldiers.
————
The ordinary barracks could recruit three types of soldiers, roughly divided into two categories.
The first group of soldiers were not professional, which was to say, ordinary soldiers. They did not have any class talents and only had the attributes of ordinary soldiers. If one wanted them to become professional soldiers, they had to use the training ground building to transform them into professional soldiers.
For professional soldiers, such as archers, their specialty was shooting. They could suppress their targets from afar.
There was a huge difference between the two.
Moreover, ordinary soldiers did not have weapons. They were all unarmed.
As for the archers and spear soldiers, they each brought their own bows and spears, so their combat strength was definitely stronger.
Without much thought, Rene spent 3 gold coins to recruit all 14 warriors.
With these starting warriors, he could display the might of the editor again, and he could also test the effect of the fire runes!
...
Ding!
[Congratulations, 10 warriors have joined you.]
[Congratulations, 2 archers have joined you.]
[Congratulations, 2 spear soldiers have joined you.]
The barracks was a costless building. All the soldiers inside did not need payment for recruitment.
However, after recruiting soldiers, the Overlord had to pay a week's employment fees.
The 14 warriors required 3 gold coins per week.
Rene had 21 gold coins and did not have to worry about money.
Another thing to note was…
Most of the soldiers in the Overlord world were recruited with a contract. In this case, unless Rene treated them badly, they would not betray their territory.
The alternative was temporary recruitment. This would only happen when the soldiers had faction affiliated forces.
For example, the 'angels' who belonged to the Heaven Faction would definitely be temporary reinforcements if they were recruited to help in battle.
Under special circumstances, for example, if [Heaven] had any special recall, these temporarily recruited angels could actively leave their employer.
However, the temporary soldiers were usually from very powerful factions. This was not something that the current Rene needed to consider.
"Greetings, my lord."
The 14 warriors bowed to Rene.
Rene nodded and opened their attributes.

[Unit]: Warrior (Rank 1 Soldier)

[Health]: 30
[Damage]: 3-5
[Hire Cost]: 10 silver coins per week
[Quantity]: 10

[Name]: Spear Soldier (Rank 1 Soldier)
[Level]: 1
[Health]: 35
[Damage]: 5-10
[Hire Cost]: 50 silver coins per week
[Skill]: Elementary Spear Proficiency
[Quantity]: 2

The difference between ordinary soldiers and professional soldiers was clear as day.
Spear soldiers had double the attack limit of ordinary soldiers.
Moreover, he had Spear Proficiency. In battle, it had a very good damage output bonus.
The damage of the archers was 4-8, slightly lower than that of the spear soldiers, but they were long-range soldiers and had a huge advantage in attack range.
Seeing these panels, Rene could not help but think of the Flame Slime that had been created using a rare item.
From the attributes of these professional soldiers, it could be seen that the slime was really not suitable for battle. Even if it became an elite monster, the upper limit of the Flame Slime's attack was only 9 points, which was even weaker than the spear soldier in front of it.
"After editing, the attributes should be increased, right?"
Rene took out a machete from the warehouse.
He started with the ordinary warriors.
Previously, he had combined a machete and a laborer, and the result was quite good.
This time, he could clearly see the difference between the two.
