"Yawn~ I've been pushing myself a bit too hard lately, thank goodness I can use meditation to substitute sleep, otherwise I'd really drop dead."
Today was the seventh morning, and Qin Muye yawned, ending his meditation session without any growth in his magic power, but he did manage to fully recover through meditation.
Last night he had pulled an all-nighter, working overtime on Spirit Monster subjects, and it could be said that the results were remarkable.
All this was thanks to his Lord Talent in learning ability and academic research, of course, it might also be due to the Intermediate Enlightenment, Intermediate Academic, and those 6 points of Knowledge Attribute he had.
These granted him a learning and comprehension ability far beyond ordinary people.
A brand new Spirit Monster workshop transformation plan had been perfected by him, the efficiency was basically like cheating.
This further reaffirmed his belief in the saying "specialization is key to proficiency"; he just needed to focus on learning and capitalizing on the benefits of learning. There was no need for fighting and killing; as his power grew, it would naturally feed back to him.
By then, when he went to level up, he'd be surrounded by a multitude of powerful heroes and troops, and he could just hide behind layers of protection and farm experience.
"Next, it's time to verify my hypothesis."
Qin Muye looked towards the Spirit Monster workshop nearby. It was the seventh day, and under normal circumstances, the Spirit Monsters in these workshops would be refreshed tomorrow, so he wanted to catch this timing to transform the Spirit Monster workshop.
This was his first time attempting to alter a building in "Lord Era".
If this was successful, subsequent modifications would be much easier.
"It's a shame I don't have a pen, otherwise I could have recorded all this data." Qin Muye sighed and then walked into the Spirit Monster workshop.
As for the Big Spirit Monster and Spirit Monster factory, those had already been abandoned by Qin Muye. If his transformation succeeded, the cost-effectiveness would leave the Big Spirit Monster and Spirit Monster factory several streets behind.
"Magic Energy Spirit Monster Transformation Plan 1.0 begins, starting with the conversion device, which is the core apparatus and requires manual adjustment."
Qin Muye looked at an area in the Spirit Monster workshop that resembled a magic array, which involved magic transformation, mind transformation, Thought Steel Seal, and other technologies. He had a general understanding of these from the experimental manuals and building blueprints, so he knew what could be altered and what couldn't.
"Lucky I've got 72 points in Magic Power, otherwise I might not have enough." Qin Muye activated his Magic Eye, and the flow of magic throughout the Spirit Monster workshop immediately became visible to him.
Lots of data was calculated by him, his brain entered an Overload Operation, causing his blood to flow faster, and his skin to emit a luminous glow of magic power.
"Found it!"
Qin Muye was thrilled, and quickly located the node he needed, then magic power surged from his hands, starting to restructure from local to whole.
[Please note, one of your Spirit Monster workshops has undergone a subtle change]
"I can modify it, seems like I've caught a lifeline..." Qin Muye glanced at the prompt and then he paid no more attention to it, focusing instead on the modifications to the core conversion device.
He knew that the Adaptation Period would definitely not be as comfortable as the newbie phase, so he had to improve his territory as quickly as possible.
Strengthening oneself was a long and gradual process, but with heroes and troops, it was different.
As time ticked away every second, the sweat on Qin Muye's forehead built up more and more, not because of difficulty, but because he was nervous. After all, this was a delicate magic device; one careless move could damage it, and the occasional prompts that floated by made his heart all the more jittery.
When the last stroke of magic power was outlined, the prompt promptly arrived.
[Your Spirit Monster workshop has been modified, the properties and skills of the produced Spirit Monsters have been enhanced]
[Please name this Troop Type as well as Troop Rank]
[You have gained a new building: an unnamed Troop construction]
Qin Muye wiped the sweat from his face and revealed a smile.
"Done, let's change its name first and check the Attributes."
The Spirit Monster Workshop was renamed to Magic Energy Spirit Monster Workshop, and Spirit Monsters were renamed as Magic Energy Spirit Monsters.
[Troop Type: Magic Energy Spirit Monster]
[Troop Rank: Rank 1]
[Life Value: 20/20]
[Magic Value: 20/20]
[Attack Power: 7]
[Defensive Power: 7]
[Skill]
[Lucky Garden: Luck +1]
[Magic Power Physique: Attack Power +5, Defensive Power +5]
[Magic Wisdom: Magic Value +20]
[Magic Resistance: Reduce Magic Damage by 5%]
[Elemental Resonance: For every 1 point of Life Value reduced, gain an additional 1 point of Elemental Damage Amplification during attacks]
[Loyal Taming: Morale will never decrease]
[Introduction: A Spirit Monster born from a transformation experiment by a Lord with the Talent, possessing Attributes and Skills that completely defy its insignificant nature as a Spirit Monster. More importantly, it seems that the Lord with the Talent is still not satisfied?]
"Tsk, skyrocketed."
Magic Resistance is a capability obtained through the hedge of Magic Power, but the truly powerful skill is Elemental Resonance, which he created by improvising on Blood Frenzy. When injured, it burns the Elemental Magic within the Spirit Monster to amplify itself, yet the effect completely exceeded his expectations.
He checked the recruitment requirements for the Magic Energy Spirit Monster, which had changed from the original 30 Gold Coins to 100 Gold Coins. You know, a Big Spirit Monster is only priced at that, but can it compare to his Magic Energy Spirit Monster?
"Next, I need to transform the remaining five Spirit Monster Workshops into Magic Energy Spirit Monster Workshops."
And the other Spirit Monsters also needed to evolve into Magic Energy Spirit Monsters.
Of course, this could be upgraded, but it required the Spirit Monsters to come into the Magic Energy Spirit Monster Workshop.
"Also, I've modified the input and output ports of the core device so that it can produce more Magic Energy Spirit Monsters. If my guess is correct, by tomorrow, I should be able to recruit at least ten times the number of Magic Energy Spirit Monsters."
"Just not sure if 'Lord Era' will recognize this. If it does, tomorrow I'll have 600 Magic Energy Spirit Monsters, which could pile even Hero units to death... right?"
Qin Muye rushed to another Spirit Monster Workshop, preparing to transform it into a Magic Energy Spirit Monster Workshop. About 10 points of Magic Power were consumed for one Magic Energy Spirit Monster Workshop, and after modifying six workshops, he still had some left.
He had a feeling that after dawn today, there might be significant changes, so he needed to prepare as quickly as possible.
Having started three days behind the other Lords, he had to hurry up. If he further delayed, he'd be late at every step. If he wanted to survive or even thrive, he would have to strive a bit more.
He wasn't good at management, combat, or collection, but if he continued to slouch in the areas where he could excel, even a god wouldn't be able to help him.
