Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 12 The Fountain of Magic

"Item repair?"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up as she looked at the magic book in her hand.

The system actually has such incredible capabilities?

Repairing items may not seem as magical as building territory structures, summoning things out of thin air, or training troops, but its help to Lin Yi is still unimaginably great.

To exaggerate a bit.

If Lin Yi obtains a fragment of a divine artifact, wouldn't he be able to obtain the complete divine artifact after it is repaired by the system?

This ability is almost identical to the legendary time reversal.

All Lin Yi gave up was some energy crystals.

"system."

"How many energy crystals are needed to repair this magic book?" Lin Yi asked.

The system quickly responded, stating that it would require 10,000 energy crystals.

"That's quite a lot."

Lin Yi frowned.

Ten thousand energy crystals can train two hundred elven swordsmen or elven archers.

"However, this price is only a bit too high for me right now."

"Once my troop formations expand, I believe this amount of energy crystals will be nothing more than a drop in the ocean."

Lin Yi then put the magic book she was about to throw away into her personal spatial belt, and then went to the ancient war tree not far away to begin training the elven soldiers.

Before long, hundreds of elven soldiers were trained.

The number exceeds four hundred people.

A total of more than 20,000 energy crystals were consumed.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded in Lin Yi's mind.

[Congratulations, host! You now command one thousand combat units.]

You have completed Task One.

You have successfully unlocked the territory building – Magic Fountain.

……

[The Fountain of Magic: A structure capable of gathering elven spring water, and even the holy water of life.]

……

[New Mission Unlocked]

[Mission Objective: Possess 10,000 combat-type units.]

[Mission Reward: Host level increases by one level (maximum not exceeding the peak of the Extraordinary Realm).]

Current task progress: 1000/10000

……

"New mission."

"Having ten thousand different types of troops?!"

Lin Yi had reason to suspect that even clearing the entire inner city ruins wouldn't necessarily allow them to train so many different types of troops.

After all, the number of monsters in Warcraft is limited.

Unless he can make the most of the opportunity to hunt undead creatures at night.

Unlike monsters in Warcraft, undead creatures can "regenerate".

As long as the evil and dark forces underground are not completely eradicated, there will be an almost endless supply of undead creatures for him to hunt.

The prerequisite is that his strength must be strong enough.

Just like now.

Although he already had a thousand elven troops under his command, he dared not open up the hunting area at will.

Who knows how many high-level undead are lurking in the darkness?

If you encounter something fierce, then it won't be hunting, but being hunted.

"As my territory continues to develop, it will become stronger and stronger."

"Ten thousand different troop types may seem like a lot, but it's not unattainable!"

Lin Yi didn't think about it any further.

He found an open space nearby and built the newly unlocked building, [Fountain of Magic], consuming one thousand energy crystals.

In just a moment, an ancient well appeared before him.

The diameter of the ancient well is about three meters.

The well was filled with crystal-clear water, radiating a vibrant sense of life and nature.

【Fountain of Magic】

[Building Information: A special territory building for the Elf faction.]

[Level: Low] [Currently, low-level spirit springs can be generated, and the springs will remain full for three days.]

Upgrade Requirement: 1,000 Energy Crystals

[Special Note: Upgrading the Magic Spring will yield higher purity Elven Water. Once the building reaches its maximum level, it can condense Holy Water of Life.]

……

"The overflow period is three days."

"So, if I drain the Fountain of Magic, it will fill the well in three days?"

—【Yes, host. The Fountain of Magic will continuously produce elven water until it is full.】

In other words, if the well is full and Lin Yi does not draw any of the elven spring water, no new elven spring water will be produced.

Lin Yi would never do something so wasteful and shameful.

He immediately summoned his elves and had them build barrels on the spot using the wood they had gathered.

Anyway, let's pump it dry first.

At the same time, Lin Yi said to the elves under his command, "This is a very magical ancient well, which can currently produce elven spring water."

"The elven spring water can restore your depleted magic and heal your injuries."

"When you go out hunting, remember to bring a cup or two, just in case."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Elf King!"

The elves bowed excitedly.

Even if Lin Yi didn't explain, they all knew what the Fairy Spring Water was.

That's a specialty of their elven race.

Besides the effects Lin Yi described, the elven spring water can also satisfy hunger; one cup can sustain you for a whole day. Furthermore, long-term consumption of elven spring water can enhance their magical power, allowing them to break through levels more quickly.

The Holy Water of Life is even more advanced than the Fairy Spring Water, and is a divine item that can break through levels.

Legend has it that for a lich to be reborn as a lich, the life-giving water of the elven race is an essential ingredient for the rebirth. Elven spring water also has an effect, but only in sufficient quantities.

Soon, the elves had built one large wooden barrel after another.

Following Lin Yi's instructions, the elves completely drained the magic spring, filling dozens of large wooden barrels.

After all, it is a spring well with a diameter of three meters and a depth of more than ten meters.

Its size is naturally not small.

All the large wooden barrels were sealed by the elves using magic to ensure that the magic of the elven spring water within did not leak out as much as possible. In simpler terms, it extended the shelf life.

"Bravour, Your Majesty!"

"This spring water is enough for us to drink for a month!"

Listening to the elves' hushed discussions, Lin Yi couldn't help but think to herself, "If a thousand elves can drink for a month, then ten thousand elves would only last for three days, right?"

"It seems that I will have to continue to upgrade the level of the Magic Spring when I have enough energy crystals."

……

There's no rush to level up the Magic Fountain.

The immediate priority is to upgrade the Ancient Tree of War to unlock more powerful units.

The War Tree is currently a low-level building. Upgrading it to an intermediate level would require five thousand energy crystals, and Lin Yi paid them without hesitation.

Money makes things easier.

Soon the ancient war tree began to radiate a dazzling light.

The entire tree is also growing taller at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The upgrade was completed shortly afterward.

The ancient war tree has grown to a height of 100 meters.

Lin Yi quickly opened the building information to check.

【Ancient Tree of War】

[Building Information: Elf faction unit class building.]

[Level: Intermediate]

[Unlocked Elf Classes: Elf Archer, Elf Swordsman, Elf Huntress, Elf Mage]

Upgrade Requirement: 50,000 Energy Crystals

[Special Note: Upgrading the Ancient Tree of War will unlock more Elf faction classes.]
