Chapter 4: Mipoleus, the Master of Traps
The sudden appearance of the magical power made Lu Nan feel a little uneasy while he was excited.
A person who is ready to retire in his heart and mind will inevitably be a little uncomfortable in the face of sudden changes.
But putting aside the complicated emotions, Lu Nan's reason is very clear, this game is well used, and he can live a more decent and safe retirement life!
And if you can really get extraordinary power, the probability of living until the day of retirement is undoubtedly much greater!
Dream City claims not to raise idlers, so there is no ability here, and it depends on luck if you want to live safely.
After all, he was a person who had traveled through, and Lu Nan quickly accepted the unusualness of this game.
After calming down, Lu Nan turned on the computer and reopened the game.
After closing the game, the game is also running.
The lord is meditating with his eyes closed, and the Death Stones have not yet spawned.
Lu Nan switches perspectives.
Two ignorant skeletons, one casting spells, the other carrying supplies.
"Are there any other players in this game? Or am I the only one? ”
"To be cautious, it's better to assume that someone else has also gained extraordinary abilities."
"Avoid using abilities as much as possible, don't leave any suspicious clues, and develop steadily."
Lu Nan made a plan, and his mind gradually calmed down.
There is nothing that can be done in the game at the moment, and the class still has to be on, Lu Nan got up and went to wash up and lay down on the bed.
Before going to bed, Lu Nan set an alarm clock.
At about 1 a.m., the Tower of Choice will be built.
There should be 3 cards that will be spawned.
Lu Nan planned to get up in the middle of the night to have a look.
After confirming that this game can bring about the improvement of extraordinary abilities, Lu Nan is naturally very concerned.
Set the alarm clock, Lu Nan fell asleep.
I didn't sleep well this night, and my dreams were messy.
In the early hours of the morning, Lu Nan was woken up by the alarm clock and found that it was raining outside the window.
It's mid-September, and the weather is a little cooler after a rain.
Lu Nan got up, slowed down for a moment, and sat down at the computer desk.
The Tower of Choice, which was expected to be built, was still a quarter of the way through and had not yet been completed.
What's going on?
Lu Nan was a little surprised, and clicked on the exclamation mark in the lower right corner of the screen.
[Event Log:
Two timberwolves have entered your territory and destroyed two of your ignorant skeletons. 】
Sneak attack?!
No, the two ignorant skeletons can't add up to a single piece of meat, there's something wrong with this timberwolf, right?
The color of the three words of the Timberwolves is not the same, and you can click on it.
Lu Nan clicked on, and a card information bar appeared.
[Timberwolves
Health: 100/100
Strength: 7
Spirit: 1
Dexterity: 8
Wisdom: 2]
……
If you can't beat it, let's see how to resurrect the ignorant skeletons.
Lu Nan looked at the two stubbles on the ground, and after confirming that the timberwolves had left, he controlled the lord unit to come out and move them back to the cemetery.
A message appeared in the cemetery.
After 1 hour, they are able to resume their normal movements.
This is the special ability of the undead, as long as the soul fire is not extinguished, it can be resurrected in the cemetery.
Lu Nan was a little lucky, but fortunately he randomly found the undead.
If this is changed to another race, the loss of two important labor forces will greatly reduce the speed of development of the territory.
Lu Nan set the alarm clock and lay down to sleep.
The work of the Law Enforcement Bureau is very shady, seven days a week, and at least two night shifts.
Lu Nan, a temporary worker, often has to work during the night shift.
Therefore, temporary operators, including Lu Nan, have the ability to take advantage of more than 10 minutes to sleep.
1 hour later.
Lu Nan got up again and went to the computer.
Two ignorant skeletons have been resurrected.
Lu Nan's transcendent value has dropped by 2 points.
The resurrection of the undead also comes at a price, and rekindling the fire of the dead requires the consumption of the lord's transcendence.
Lu Nan controlled the two ignorant skeletons and clicked the option of [Continue Building].
They crawl out of the cemetery and continue their work.
Lu Nan didn't go to sleep this time, but stared at the screen.
If there were another attack, he could get the lord unit to come out and delay for a moment, allowing the two ignorant skeletons to enter the graveyard.
The Timberwolf, an ordinary beast, should not be able to cause damage to buildings.
While waiting for the building to be built, Lu Nan wanted to search the Internet for information about this game.
But after thinking about it, forget it.
If there are other lieges, and the law enforcement team and the corporation have noticed them, there must be AI staring at these keywords.
As long as Lu Nan searches, he will be locked by a large number of AIs immediately, and he can be pulled into the company in five minutes to experience the speedrun life.
If you buy an encryption chip, you can surf the Internet relatively safely.
Even if it is found, it will not be traced to Lu Nan.
But an encryption chip that can protect against the company's hackers costs at least 20,000 credits or more.
Let's settle down first.
Although intelligence is important, Lu Nan is a person who wants to retire in the cyber world, so he naturally won't do risky things.
When you have the money to afford encryption chips, you can search for relevant information.
45 minutes passed quickly.
Lu Nan stared at the screen and watched the pixel-style black stone tower slowly build.
An exclamation mark appears.
[Your building "Tower of Choice" has been built, your territory has become more powerful, and all Lord's stats have been increased by 0.1..] 】
This time, there is only an increase in attributes, not unlocking new buildings.
It seems that the merchant's shop will have to be built before it can be built in the future.
Lu Nan opened the interface of the lord's hut, selected the merchant's shop, and began to build.
The two ignorant skeletons were a little tired, and the gray-white soul fire dimmed a lot.
However, the undead are tired and don't die anyway, and Lu Nan doesn't care about their state.
After Lu Nan distributed the work, with anticipation, he opened the interface of the Tower of Choice.
A dark, sharp, angular interface appears with three cards inside.
The two cards on the left are white, while the card on the right has some bone patterns.
Lu Nan is the kind of person who likes to save good things for the back, so he starts to look from left to right.
……
[Whiplash (1 Star): After using the card, the work efficiency of the undead units in the territory is increased by 30%, and the speed of consuming soul fire is increased by 50%.
This card can only be used once per unit per day.
Card Cost: 1 Exceptional per unit.
Cooldown: None]
……
[Solid (1 Star): After using the card, all undead units in the territory gain 2 damage reduction for 5 minutes.
Card Cost: 2 Extraordinary per unit.
Cooldown: 12 hours. 】
……
[Nameless Bones (2 Stars): After using the card, a 2-star unit "Nameless Skeleton" will be summoned.
Card Cost: None
Cooldown: None]
……
Lu Nan felt that the second card and the third card were not bad.
However, Lu Nan was not in a hurry to choose, but looked at some text introductions in the Tower of Choice.
[Your current deck capacity is capped at 10, and as you increase the level of the "Lord's Hut", you can have up to 40 cards in your deck in the Old Days.]
When a card enters the deck, it cannot be discarded at will, and can only be destroyed by "erasing".
The quality of the card is 1 star at a minimum, and the highest quality in the world is currently 15 stars.
Level 1 Tower of Choice, up to four-star cards can be spawned, and upgrading the Tower of Choice will increase the upper limit of card quality and increase the probability of high-quality cards. 】
……
"It's a bit like an old card pigeon game."
"However, the cards in this world do not need to draw cards, and there are no rounds, and the impact of garbage cards is relatively small."
"It's mainly to occupy the deck position, which is more troublesome......"
Lu Nan's sleepiness subsided a lot, and he touched his chin and pondered.
After a few moments, he chose the [Nameless Bone] card.
Now his territorial combat power highlights a shame, even if he has the card of [Solid], he can't beat the Timberwolves.
If it is strong, it will be punished even if it is far away, and if it is weak, development is the last word.
Multiple undead units, multiple laborers, can make the territory develop faster.
An animation appears on the screen.
The selected [Nameless Bone] turned into a streamer and entered the lord's hut.
The exclamation mark reappeared.
Lu Nan clicked and took a look.
[You have obtained your first card "Nameless Bones", 1/10 of the current deck size]
In the lower right corner of the screen, there is an additional [Card Deck] option.
Lu Nan clicked on, selected [Nameless Dead Bone], and clicked [Use].
Gray dead qi condensed in front of Lu Nan, and a revenant soul was summoned, and the transcendent matter condensed a tall skeleton for it.
The nameless skeleton was tall, more than two meters tall, and a leg bone could fit the size of an ignorant skeleton.
Next to it, an option for [Information] appears.
Lu Nan clicked.
【Nameless Skeleton (2 stars)
Soulfire: 110/110 (consumes 3 soulfire every 6 minutes of action)
Strength: 9
Spirit: 2
Dexterity: 2
Wisdom: 0
Luck: 0
Unit Description: When the Naki tribe fell, a figure blocked the city gate and saved many tribesmen, the man's name is not remembered, but his will to protect the tribe remained. 】
……
After the nameless bones ignited the soul fire, they knelt down to Lu Nan.
Although it is also a skeleton body, it is obviously much more powerful than the ignorant skeleton without a star - its knees are very strong.
The two ignorant skeletons looked at it, as if with some envy, and looked down at their fragile skeletons.
Lu Nan looked at the panel of the nameless dead bones, and felt that it was a more powerful laborer now.
Its strength is strong, but its agility is simply too low.
If you want to destroy the Timberwolves, you can't rely on it.
However, Lu Nan is still very satisfied with a powerful labor force.
The first time a building is built, it doesn't require many resources, but subsequent upgrades require the collection of various materials.
One more labor force can free up an ignorant skeleton to collect.
And the power of the nameless bones is very high, and the heavy work of transplanting trees can be handed over to it.
Lu Nan gave it an order to dig a cemetery for itself first.
Every undead unit needs a graveyard to rest.
No materials are needed to dig up a cemetery, just choose a place.
The Nameless Dead threw themselves into the construction of the territory.
Lu Nan looked at the time.
It's almost 3 a.m. now.
He leaves for work at 7 o'clock and usually gets up at 6:30.
I can sleep a little longer, and wake up at 6 o'clock.
Lu Nan climbed back into bed and fell asleep.
In the dream, Lu Nan took the ignorant skeleton and fought with the timberwolves.
Jingle bells.
The alarm clock woke Lu Nan up.
At 6 a.m., the Tower of Choice was refreshed.
Lu Nan was very looking forward to it, trotted to the computer, opened the game, and looked at the interface of the Tower of Choice.
Three new cards have appeared.
And the card in the middle has an excellent texture, which is obviously more advanced than the 2-star Nameless Bones!
With anticipation, Lu Nan first turned over two other 1-star cards.
【Whipping】
[Motivation (1 Star): After using the card, it can make the undead units in a territory forcibly retain 1 soul fire for 2 hours.]
Card Cost: 2 Extraordinary per unit
Cooldown: 4 hours】
……
Lu Nan was also not interested in this card.
The main thing is that the cooldown time of 4 hours is too long and the consumption is still high.
The 2-star nameless bones do not need to consume transcendent values, and they can survive forever.
In comparison, this 1-star [incentive] is real rubbish.
Lu Nan looked at the card in the middle, clicked it, and flipped it over.
[Trap Master Mipoles' Bones (4 Stars): After using the card, a 4-star undead unit "Mipoleus" will be summoned
Card Cost: 10 Extraordinary
Cooldown: None
* Be careful, Mipoleus's trap is not only aimed at the enemy, but also its flattery, which will be loyal to you, but cannot control its compliments to you. 】
