Volume 1: The Second Coming (Remastered) Chapter 30: Return to the Territory

Seven hours later, Yu Bin finally returned to Naxxramas exhausted.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as "exhausted" undead spirits, because they do not need to eat or drink, and as long as the soul fire is not extinguished, they can always stay active, and in this respect, the undead can be said to be a very advantageous race.

But correspondingly, the undead are consuming soul power all the time, and the more intense the exercise, the faster the soul power is consumed, so Yu Bin's exhaustion is purely a consequence of the reduction of soul power.

The reason for this result is that he must cross these hundreds of kilometers of dangerous mountain roads without stopping, and the player's existence in the world of Entagri depends entirely on the soul, therefore, when the player has to leave the world of Entagri (commonly known as offline) to rest because of the lack of soul energy, the character will be unable to act because of the loss of soul, if there are companions by his side, he can also take care of one or two, a lone ranger like Yu Bin naturally has to carefully calculate every bit of his soul energy, when to go online, when to go offline, And make sure that your character doesn't die due to the dangers of the surrounding environment when you go offline.

After all, no one wants to see themselves turned into corpses and have to be resurrected from the cemetery as soon as they go online.

And the Anglis Mountains are obviously not a place that can make Yu Bin go offline with peace of mind, in order to get to Naxxramas before the soul energy is exhausted, Yu Bin can be said to be in a hurry, which is why he is exhausted.

After resting offline for half a day, Yu Bin had the energy to go online to check the status of his territory.

Perhaps because the land had not been transformed into a land of the dead, there were no powerful wild creatures trying to attack the ruined village, and only the few carcasses of elk and bobcats near the iron fence showed that it was not completely safe.

The corpse witch Dorgil still did not awaken any academics, and stood in the dilapidated church that was the town hall guarding the core of the territory, which made Yu Bin a little disappointed. Other than that, the only thing to be happy about is that Naxxramas has finally given birth to his own undead.

Two skeletons and a zombie! Maybe it's because of the abundant death power, the level of the three newborn undead is good, and the quality also makes Yu Bin more satisfied, one of the two skeletons is a green qualification, the other is a blue qualification, and the zombie is an ordinary white qualification, but he is born with the ability to dig and can become a miner in the future, which may be because of the characteristics of the territory.

Full of hope for the future, Yu Bin gathered all the people in the territory and began the "big construction".

First of all, a small teleportation array, this is the most important thing at the moment, Yu Bin is not willing to have to teleport to the vicinity through the magic network node of the god of magic every time in the future, and then return to his territory through the dangerous valley and dense forest, this teleportation array can be linked to the teleportation network of the Dia Empire, relying on the teleportation line laid by the entire Dia Empire, Yu Bin can freely travel back and forth between Dia and Naxxramas.

The only downside may be that it is expensive, unlike the Magic Web node, the teleportation array is powered by energy supplies from both ends, so each teleportation requires a large amount of death crystals to consume as the cost of the teleportation array (teleporting back to Naxxramas from elsewhere requires additional gold).

The construction blueprints of this small teleportation array can be purchased in any undead city, and since this small teleportation array can be set up according to the user's requirements, in the past life, even many player groups would set one up in their own station to facilitate personnel to enter and exit.

In addition to the wood and stone materials for the construction of the teleportation array, other materials such as magic crystallization and solidified magic lines need to be purchased from other cities, which makes Yu Bin use up nearly seven thousand gold coins, if it weren't for the old nest of the corrupted crocodile lord, Yu Bin probably wouldn't have been able to raise this fund.

After the teleportation array, it is used to provide a resting place for the undead, this kind of building can be built according to the player's own standards, so there is no need to buy drawings from other cities, Yu Bin built the most commonly used standard house for players in the previous life, similar to the earthen greenhouse built in rural China, each room is about ten square meters, because the undead do not need food and water, and naturally they do not need a kitchen and bathroom, which saves Yu Bin a lot of trouble.

In fact, a complete territory should be built from the foundation works, including drainage, sewerage, garbage disposal, functional area planning, etc., but the undead have very low requirements in this regard, drainage and sewage can be completely ignored, and the garbage is extremely small, and the functional areas can be distinguished later.

The most headache for Yu Bin is the functional building, the functional buildings of the territory are generally divided into three categories: military, life and special, of which the military functional buildings include recruitment buildings, barracks, school fields, equipment manufacturing, defense facilities and magic research, etc., and the living buildings mainly include warehouses, shops, storage yards, drinking water, farms, etc., and special buildings refer to those buildings that can bring various help to the territory, the army or civilians, such as the soul tower of the undead and the dark canopy are special buildings.

Functional buildings need to consume the energy of the territorial core to operate, the farther away from the territorial core, the lower the energy utilization rate, if the minimum energy supply cannot be obtained from the territorial core, the function of the building cannot be used, resulting in a waste of building materials and time, so how to plan the location of functional buildings is also an important factor to test a lord.

In this regard, Yu Bin's advantage is that the core of Naxxramas territory is relatively strong, which means that there is a correspondingly greater degree of freedom in the construction of functional buildings.

Yu Bin has only one functional architectural drawing [Skeleton Graveyard] bought from the Angfei Fortress, which is the recruitment building of the skeleton of the lowest level of the undead, after the construction is completed, as long as the corpse is thrown into the skeleton cemetery, the corresponding skeleton can be transformed as a soldier, and the skeletons transformed in this way are the basic form of the lowest level, and the lord needs to spend a lot of time leading these soldiers to fight, and increase the level by absorbing enough soul power (experience), And use military feats to make them evolve to a higher form.

In addition, the lord can also directly recruit civilians in the territory as soldiers, which is also the main way for the lord to obtain high-quality soldiers, excellent civilians have a great advantage over the soldiers converted from the recruitment building, so once recruited, it means that it can be used directly as a high-level and high-form army.

The skeleton graveyard also has different specifications, the lowest is the one in Yu Bin's hand, judging from the drawings, it is a simple open tomb, surrounded by a few stone pillars as a simple fence, and the bottom is built according to a special shape to gather the power of death hollow structure, this kind of skeleton tomb can only be transformed into the lowest quality (white) skeleton.

The highest-spec skeleton graveyard can be built like a palace, and the interior uses various powerful props and special magic structures to guide and purify the power of death, thereby greatly improving the conversion success rate of high-quality skeletons, but this also means a great investment and energy consumption, for skeletons as cannon fodder, I'm afraid no one will do this.

The reason why Naxxramas's urban characteristics [Heroic Spirit Protection] is regarded as a divine skill by Yu Bin is here. Even this lowest-level skeleton graveyard, with the bonus of [Heroic Soul Protection], can ensure that every transformed skeleton is blue qualification, which makes the soldiers of Naxxramas inherently superior to the soldiers produced in other territories, which is very important for the undead who often win by numbers.

The construction of the skeleton tomb is not difficult, but the teleportation array takes at least twenty hours or more, this is because the teleportation array needs time to connect to the entire teleportation network, and adjust the mana on the solidified mana line to an appropriate degree to ensure that the teleportation array will not be easily separated from the teleportation network, if Yu Bin has a regular necromancer or corpse witch under him, then this time can be greatly shortened, and these magic users can lead the adjustment of the mana line through their own magic power, thus greatly reducing the time consumed or even consumption.

While waiting, Yu Bin asked Dorgil to continue building houses with the skeletons, and at the same time commanded several skeletons to throw the remaining human soldiers' corpses into the skeleton cemetery, and the transformed skeletons were used to escort some skeleton civilians to the nearby forest to cut wood, although because of the lack of tools, the efficiency of logging is not high, but at least there is no need to let these guys bask in the sun all day with nothing to do.

In addition to housing, Yu Bin also built a simple warehouse behind the city hall, which means "temporary use", and small wooden boxes enclosed by several dismantled hardwood planks were used by Yu Bin to store some things that could not be used temporarily, such as spare equipment in the space bag.

The number of skeletons transformed through the skeleton graveyard soon reached twenty, and the energy of the core of the territory was almost half consumed.

There is no difference between a soldier's experience increase and that of a player, and it can also be leveled by hunting monsters, but the difference is that when a soldier is in a commanded state, the experience points gained will be considered as the experience points of the entire unit, and the commander of the unit can freely distribute these experience points to any soldier who wants to level up. Therefore, in the previous life, helping the lord to train was also a way for many players to obtain experience points, and they would sign a contract with the lord, stipulating that a part of the experience points obtained during the training process would be paid to the player as a reward, so as to free up the lord's time and avoid mechanical and boring repetitive training.

In order to meet the needs of soldier upgrades, players will also look for some special copies to explore, these copies are often not suitable for players to challenge because of their large scale and many monsters (if the number is small, they can't be beaten, and if the number is more, everyone will gain less), so it has become the best place for lords to train their troops, players can not only gain a lot of experience points by leading soldiers to challenge this kind of dungeon, but also exercise their command ability and military level, and the best of them can even become important generals under the lord, So as to obtain focused training.

In addition to experience points, military merit is also a major problem that plagues the lord, in the world of Entagre, players can only obtain a certain amount of military merit by destroying the target of the opposing faction, and military merit can be used to improve the player's own rank and title, and can also be used to evolve the form of soldiers, so as to improve the strength of soldiers, which can be said to be a very important resource. As a result, there were often small-scale local wars between the two camps, and the local lords would actively participate in them in order to improve the strength of their armies. This hunger for military merit tends to grow indefinitely, eventually leading to more serious consequences, such as faction warfare.

The same is true for players, both for the average player and for advanced players, ranks and titles are very attractive targets, the former allows them to have more armies, and the latter allows them to enjoy the status of a superior person, so there are often large-scale wars between players in opposing factions, which further leads to a rise in danger, forcing a large number of players to abandon their combat abilities and focus on their life professions.

Now Yu Bin is also facing the same problem, a small army may be able to find those beasts in the Anglis Mountains to gain experience points, but when the size of the army increases, this behavior will be very dangerous, and it is likely to attract the attention of some powerful creatures, causing Naxxramas to face great danger.

The only advantage may be the location of Naxxramas, as long as you go more than a thousand kilometers to the southeast, you can enter the neutral area, which is the most common area on the continent of Entagre compared to the territory already occupied by large and medium-sized races, accounting for almost more than sixty percent of the entire continent. In order to expand their influence or obtain the resources they need from these neutral areas, each race will often establish a stronghold nearby to protect its interests, as long as Yu Bin can cross this distance, he can attack everywhere without interference, relying on the neutral area to vigorously develop his military power.

However, the most important thing for Yu Bin at present is still leveling!

It has been nearly ten days since Yu Bin entered the world of Entagre, and I don't know if there are other players who have also entered this magical world, according to the memories of the previous life, when the number of players entering the world of Entagri reaches one hundred, this "game" will usher in the first update, and the second batch of rings will also come.

At that time, as the information of the world of Entagri continues to spread in reality, more and more players will enter this world to compete for resources, and at the same time, government agencies, large business organizations, ancient families and underworlds in various countries will begin to vigorously collect rings, and Yu Bin must gain enough strength before that in order to continue to maintain his advantage.

What's more, with the arrival of the second batch of rings, Yu Bin still has a task that must be completed.

He wants to find the girl who died for himself in his previous life!
