My troops evolve infinitely

"It's true that you should be cautious."

Before the receptionist could answer, a bearded veteran player passing by spoke up, "Back then, I was just as cautious as you guys, but as time went by, I realized that the veterans in this association are all talented and well-spoken. I really enjoy coming here."

"As for danger... it's true that monsters occasionally sneak into Blue Star, there are some criminals who commit crimes, there are dangerous areas like the border, and there are those crazy cults, but this world is actually not that dangerous."

Mu Yuan: "..."

Art trio: "..."

Chapter 14 Difficult Resource Assessment

Walking all the way into the association, Mu Yuan's horizons were truly opened—even though he was only a newbie who had been in the game for a day and a half and had almost no horizons.

There are not only a large number of players here, but you can also occasionally see some types of soldiers.

A big goblin with muscular body who looks like a brother.

Compared with the one Mu Yuan met in the game world, it was not even his younger brother. The sense of oppression was far different.

However, within the association, the Big Goblin was just a very common soldier, and it even trembled a little.

Because there was a graceful figure walking by not far away.

Tall, graceful, elegant, with a delicate complexion, pointed ears and cascading green hair.

"This seems to be a rare three-star troop, the Nature Elf?!"

The frog seller exclaimed, with envy in his eyes.

Who doesn’t like a cool young lady who is strong and has XP?

Mu Yuan also took a few more glances. Don't get me wrong, it was mainly because it was the first time he saw a living soldier in reality.

You need to observe more and gain more knowledge.

"Can we... recruit this kind of soldiers in the future?"

Hearing what the frog seller said, the receptionist gave an awkward yet polite smile.

She pondered for a moment and said, "This lord who commands the natural elves is also a big shot in our Baijiang Association."

The implication is: Ordinary players also want to recruit nature elves? What a pipe dream!

But the frog seller didn't grasp the meaning. He stroked his chin and said, "Isn't it true that as long as you can pass the trial and become a lord, you will have more opportunities to recruit this kind of rare soldiers?"

The guide said, "That's correct. Lord players have more resources and opportunities than Ranger players. As time goes by, the gap between these two types of players will grow wider."

"However, being a lord player isn't easy. As players, you should be well aware of the dangers of the Eternal Continent. Not only do you need to maintain your territory for a month, you also need to survive extremely dangerous trials."

"The Association hopes that more players will pass the trials and establish territories, but we also recommend that players act within their capabilities."

The guide is not a player, but she is a professionally trained person with very rich 'newcomer theoretical knowledge'.

Mu Yuan got a lot of information for free from here.

At least Old Yang was vague in his answers to questions about the Lord Trial details, but the guide lady had no problem answering. Sure enough, Old Yang was still too lame.

Mu Yuan summarized the information:

"During the Lord Trial, a red fog will cover the land, and monsters will become frenzied and bloodthirsty, making them more difficult to deal with than usual. Therefore, to survive the Lord Trial, not only does the player's territory need to be strong enough, but also some strategic tactics."

"Players need to clear as many monsters as possible before the trial begins."

"However, it's impossible to completely eliminate all the monsters with the limited power of the players alone. Therefore, players need to set up a real defense line in front of their own territory, and this should be targeted according to the types of monsters around them."

Previously, Lao Yang mentioned that the official will provide certain support to outstanding newcomers to help them survive the lord trial.

The official support includes two- and three-star troops that are good at defending cities, trap blueprints, defensive buildings, etc.

Mu Yuan was envious, let alone the frog seller and the liver emperor.

The liver emperor who seemed to be on the verge of sudden death suddenly regained his vitality and inquired about the news.

The young lady explained, "The resource assessment has two parts: a literary test and a martial test. The literary test tests the player's operational and command skills, while the martial test tests the player's military strength and on-the-spot performance.

"Because the purpose of the resource assessment is to test whether the player has the potential and the possibility of passing the Lord Trial, the test is scheduled for six days later, which is the first Sunday after the player obtains the game qualification.

“This not only tests the player’s level, but also gives them enough time to make full use of these resources.

"It's just that..." The young lady shook her head. "The competition for this resource assessment is extremely fierce. Getting a spot isn't easy. No, it's extremely difficult. Lord players are a minority among the player community. Only a very few can pass the trial and gain a foothold in the vast Eternal Continent."

After hearing what the guide said, the frog seller and Sanying could not hide their disappointment.

"You need to have at least three or two three-star units and train your main units to level 4 or 5 to even have a chance of getting a spot? That's too difficult! No, this is simply impossible for us ordinary players!"

Sure enough, it’s not that easy to get official support benefits!

The frog seller's eyes widened.

Mu Yuan thought that he already had three three-star skeleton soldiers. As long as he worked hard for a few days, he would have more than three rare soldiers.

At that time, should I put out a rare soldier or ten three-star soldiers?

This is too difficult to decide.

It's so hard.

Pondering this, Mu Yuan sighed along with the other players, "Yeah, this is too difficult. Ordinary people like us simply have no way out."

The frog seller patted his shoulder and tried to comfort him, "Don't be discouraged, brother. After all, we are lucky enough to have obtained the player qualification. We are already much better than others."

I didn’t expect the frog seller to be such a nice guy, but I’ve already decided to become one of the kings of the lottery.

……

Under the guidance of the guide, the few of them quickly completed their identity registration.

The process is not complicated.

The official also does not require players to fill in their territory information and military information. Of course, players can choose to fill in the information. Some players write it like a job application profile and go straight to enter the official agency.

After registering your identity, the forum function will be officially opened to players.

At this time, the liver emperor said goodbye and prepared to go home to continue playing the extraordinary game.

Mu Yuan also wanted to go back and work hard, but he thought that since he was already here, he might as well go shopping. Getting more information would also help in exploration and development.

and,

"Is the trading market ahead?"

"Yes, it's the new player season, and many old players are coming to take a look. The market is much busier than usual these days."

Several people walked towards the market.

Mu Yuan originally had the idea of ​​exchanging a few residual souls, and he became excited when he saw this. The other newcomers were also seeing this scene for the first time and were very curious.

Trading market... Can you see veteran players trading and the legendary treasure auction scene?

Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it.

But soon, in the market, the new players fell silent as they looked at the stalls in front of them.

"The best set for newbies. Look here, newbies, it's on sale for a bargain."

"Remnant Souls are on sale at rock-bottom prices. Trading in Soul Sand or Xuanguo Coins is supported."

"The best remnant soul for newbies—the little skeleton remnant soul—is on sale for a low price. Don't miss it if you pass by."

Mu Yuan: "..."

The style of painting always feels a little wrong.

I'd imagine veteran players solemnly bringing out their treasures, appraising them, trading them, and spending a fortune. But why are nine out of ten stalls catering to newcomers? Are veteran players really that enthusiastic?

but,

When Mu Yuan walked to stall number nine, his eyes lit up. Isn't this the little skeleton soul he had been thinking about?

Seeing that he expressed his intention to buy, the boss became more enthusiastic and kept greeting him.

"Come here, young man, let me introduce you to this little skeleton soldier."

"Many people think Skeletons are a weak unit, but that's a complete mistake. Skeletons are certainly not strong enough, but they are only a one-star unit after all. In my opinion, Skeletons are definitely the top one-star units. Why do I say that? Let me explain."

"Skeleton caddies don't need to consume food or rest, and can perform any hard labor under the lord's command... These advantages are exactly what newcomers need most. Think about it, there aren't many types of troops in the newcomer era. If we have to work in two shifts, wouldn't the manpower shortage be even greater?"

This seems to make sense?

Some newcomers stopped and looked interested.

One of the guides opened her mouth as if to say something, but still said nothing.

The veteran players at the surrounding stalls scoffed. True, what Lao Zhang had said were indeed the Skeleton's strengths, but he hadn't mentioned a single word about its weaknesses. Skeletons had flaws like a rigid combat style and slow movement, and they didn't coordinate well with other units.

Otherwise, how could there be the saying of the little skeleton goblin and the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick?

But they won't say it. After all, like Lao Zhang next door, they also want to "cheat" the new players.

There is no need to worry about newcomers having no money. Newcomers indeed cannot afford soul sand and treasures, but don’t they still have Xuanguo coins?

Old players also have to make a living, and now is the best time to clear out some of the unsold inventory.

Seeing that Mu Yuan was indeed interested in buying, the boss, Lao Zhang, said, "I know you newbies are short of soul sand and can't come up with anything else at this stage. So, I'll take a loss and sell it to you for Xuanguo currency."

However, using Xuanguo currency to purchase extraordinary treasures, even the lowest-level treasures, always requires a significant premium.

It is definitely not something that ordinary families can afford.

The frog seller looked at Mu Yuan, his eyes widening: "We agreed to be losers together, but I didn't expect you to be a kryptonian? I misjudged you!"

"Uh..." Mu Yuan paused, considering, "You only accept Xuanguo currency? Can't you exchange it for something else? For example, residual souls."

Boss Zhang: “???”

Huh? Wait, you still have a remnant soul (°ο°)?

Thanks to 'Book Friend 20180227134730703' and 'Big Eyeballs on the Moon' for their tips.

Chapter 15 A strong team

"You, you have a residual soul?"

It was only the first day of this newbie phase, and most people didn't even dare to leave the territory, let alone kill the Remnant Soul. Low-level monsters couldn't drop Remnant Souls.
