After returning to the Mage Tower, Qin Muye took advantage of the remaining daylight to construct 20 farms and 5 Spirit Monster workshops.
It consumed 200 units of food and 250 units of wood and minerals. The food was manageable since there was a river next to his Mage Tower, and he had defeated plenty of monsters recently, so he was not short on that. However, he didn't have as much wood and minerals.
After all the monster hunting he had done, the total loot of these three basic resources barely reached over one thousand and five hundred units, which meant he had lost half of his wood and minerals in one go.
He initially wanted to build 10 Spirit Monster workshops, but unfortunately, he would have to wait a bit longer.
Once the farms were built, Qin Muye distributed all the food seeds for the Spirit Monsters to plant. He had picked up quite a number of seeds on his journey, for otherwise, how could he possibly support a large number of troops with just hunting? The current number of troops might be manageable, but what about when it increased in the future?
Food was important, so it was essential that agriculture kept up with demand.
More importantly, these seeds were not one-time use. Upon harvest, not only would food be obtained but also corresponding seeds, creating a virtuous cycle that would increase the number of seeds over time.
Next, Qin Muye built a lumberyard. He had initially thought it was a standard construction, but later he realized it was just as important as the farms.
[Lumberyard]
[For every Troop stationed, 10 units of wood can be obtained daily, limit (0/10)]
[Expansion: 100 units of wood and any special resource 10 units]
By dispatching ten Spirit Monsters inside, 100 units of wood could be acquired daily, which was an incredibly good deal.
Following that was naturally the training ground. This required 100 units of stone and 50 units of wood for construction, thankfully, he had enough.
[Training Ground]
[Normal troops can enter to train, evolving into Elite Level troops after one week]
[Current capacity for Normal Troops: 0/100, Heroes 0/1]
[Expansion: 1000 units of stone]
The training ground was undoubtedly a building for the late stage of the game, or to say, the more fundamental the construction, the more crucial it was.
Taking one week to evolve into Elite Level troops might seem long, considering the new player period only lasts 7 days, but what's really important is the residence of the Hero.
Like the Skeleton Training Ground Qin Muye had previously cleared, which likely belonged to some Warrior class Hero, which is why Skeleton Soldiers evolved into Skeleton Warriors. Had there been an Archer or Mage class Hero, they would have evolved into Skeleton Archers or Skeleton Mages.
Of course, without a Hero residing, they would probably be similar to Qin Muye's Champion Level Spirit Monsters, remaining as their original troop type but with 'Elite Level' added to their rank.
After arranging various things, Qin Muye finally took a breath of relief, returned to the inside of the Mage Tower, waiting for the buildings to be completed, while taking out the Warrior Promotion Certificate.
"Blood Warrior Training Manual"
This is the name of the Warrior Promotion Certificate, and Qin Muye began to flip through it.
The book is divided into two parts, with the majority being the normal training methods for warriors, mainly focusing on the generation and application of magic power. Yes, warriors also use magic power, and so do archers, knights, and other hero units. Otherwise, why would this world be called the Magic Continent?
The first half is fairly standard and represents the most common training methods. However, the key lies in the fact that it includes a Secret Technique called Blood Frenzy, which temporarily strengthens the user by burning blood.
Thus, they are called Blood Warriors, and so this training manual records two ways to become a hero. The former is naturally through regular training, while the latter is to become the rare profession of a Blood Warrior through Blood Frenzy.
'Hmph, it seems that the Wisdom Tree has already investigated quite a bit of information about the lords.'
Qin Muye knew he should not underestimate anyone. Other lords might have directly used it upon encountering this situation, but Qin Muye was different; he did not follow the beaten path.
'The reason why the Wisdom Tree is certain that a Champion Level Spirit Monster will become the rare profession of a Blood Warrior is partly because this Reclassification Certificate, combined with Champion Level, will result in a rare profession, and more so because of the fit between the Champion Level Spirit Monster's Bath of Blood skill and Blood Frenzy.'
'So this Reclassification Certificate is definitely handpicked, not randomly generated.'
Qin Muye did not know what the Wisdom Tree was planning, but as long as it did not affect him, he did not care.
He knew that merely clearing out a Skeleton Training Ground would definitely not yield such a high reward.
After all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Unfortunately, the lifespan of Champion Level Spirit Monsters is limited; otherwise, Qin Muye could have entirely attempted to skip this Warrior Promotion Certificate and helped it evolve from a troop into a hero through Blood Frenzy.
Not to forget to mention the Magic Eye, this Source Magic; if released in the way of the lord, it indeed only adds one point of vision.
But if he uses it himself, which means applying magic power to his eyes in the orthodox way of patterns and nodes, though losing one point of vision, he could see the flow of elements and magic power in the world.
What's more important is that it can last indefinitely, consuming only one point of magic power per hour; it's as if he's been significantly overcharged by a middleman.
This world has more than just earth, air, fire, wind as Elemental Magic; there is also life, death, shadow, Source Power, and so on. Take his Meditation Technique and Magic Eye for example; the former comes from the regular four elements, but after being converted into magic power, it becomes Source Magic, similar to the Magic Eye.
With this Magic Eye, Qin Muye's magic transformations for Spirit Monsters will be much smoother. If he had this Magic Eye before transforming the Champion Level Spirit Monster, he would be confident in transforming it into a side-effect-free second-rank Spirit Monster, instead of only having one rank left due to Magic Rebound.
Unfortunately, it is too late to turn back now; he does not have the means to remove the Magic Rebound from the Champion Level Spirit Monster.
After all, he only obtained a Meditation Technique and a piece of magic, not a complete Mage legacy.
Just like this Blood Warrior Training Manual, which has a complete legacy, including training, breathing, diet, and also magic, Combat Skills, and Equipment, etc., even if one does not become a Blood Warrior, it's still a training method for regular warriors.
That is what constitutes a complete legacy, and whether as a Scholar or as a Mage, he does not have a corresponding legacy, making him only halfway competent.
Other lords, even if they changed professions like him, would probably be in the same situation. If they do not self-study, they could only rely on the "Lord Era".
After closing the Blood Warrior Training Manual, Qin Muye had memorized all the content, and then naturally, it was time to let this Warrior Promotion Certificate play its role, turning the Champion Level Spirit Monster into a hero unit after reclassification.
