My troops evolve infinitely

An altar with a diameter of about two and a half meters, engraved with mysterious array patterns.

Above the altar, the remaining starlight gathered to form a human figure. Although it was a bird's-eye view and a game character, Mu Yuan could tell at a glance that this handsome guy was him.

It is his fulcrum in the game world and the Eternal Continent. If it dies, everyone will die.

At this time, fiery-like fonts appeared on the game screen one after another.

"Random..."

"Hint: You have obtained a batch of initial troops - 10 Skeletons."

-

"Little Skeleton (Unnamed)"

"Grade: Normal★"

"Level: Level 0 Level 1"

"Skill: None"

"Talent: None"

"Introduction: A common undead creature. Though weak, it's cost-effective and skilled in vicious group fights."

As the prompt message faded, the mysterious array pattern on the altar began to glow, and the space rippled slightly. One after another, thin and leaky skeletons, holding rusty machetes, walked out of the altar.

They crowded together and pushed the game character representing Mu Yuan himself off the altar.

The appearance of the little skeleton was pretty much what Mu Yuan had expected.

His bones were gray-black, his body was thin, and he walked with a hunched posture. He had no equipment except a worn-out weapon and only wore a tattered piece of clothing that could barely cover his body.

He is worthy of being the legendary cannon fodder, the little skeleton.

Mu Yuan's mouth twitched. Putting aside the creepy appearance of this little skeleton, he felt that he could fight two of them at once!

"Starting with a ruined village and several disabled soldiers, no wonder this game is so difficult. You could be defeated at any moment... It would be easy for anyone to be defeated!"

"It seems that the initial troops that other players randomly get aren't that great either. There are militias, goblins, and even slimes. In comparison, the Skeletons are pretty good."

Apart from its shortcomings such as slow movement, crappy equipment, low intelligence, poor attack and defense, the little skeleton actually has many advantages, such as this and that.

Mu Yuan couldn’t tell any difference between these ten little skeletons for the time being.

He looked outside the village at the area shrouded in thick gray fog, and for the time being he did not dare to let his skeleton go out.

He only had ten initial soldiers and couldn't afford to lose any of them.

But if you don't go out and try, the gaming environment will be ruined sooner or later.

"This game doesn't have any guidance or hints, but since it's a game... or a world with extraordinary powers, there must be ways to improve."

"The Skeleton's rank is a regular one-star, just like the Goblins and Slimes. According to the game's rules, it's not necessarily possible to upgrade the rank, but raising the troop level shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"We need to figure out how to upgrade the skeletons, or find a way to recruit more skeletons. These can effectively improve the defense of the territory."

The problem is that Mu Yuan doesn’t understand any of the above.

But it doesn’t matter. He may be able to find the answers he wants on the secret forum where he just gained a lot of information.

After Mu Yuan gave the little skeletons an order to 'defend and clean up the village', he switched to the secret forum and browsed it more carefully.

It is now certain that there are many "gamers" in this forum. They share their own experiences and observations, and even the help posts contain a lot of details.

This is the game guide.

Of course, there are also many stories that have just been made up.

"Now that I'm in the game and have real examples to refer to, I can naturally tell whether these posts are genuine or fabricated."

In one post, the poster said he randomly got a dragon unit, killed monsters, and leveled up. However, he didn't write the game process correctly, and it was obviously fake.

The vast majority of soldiers that players randomly obtain are ordinary one-star worthless stuff, and only a very small number of them can randomly obtain ordinary two-star soldiers, such as spearmen, archers, and orcs.

In contrast to the powerful troops, the initial number of soldiers is smaller. A player who randomly picked a spearman said that he only had six soldiers at the beginning, while players who started with skeletons, goblins, etc., all had 10 soldiers.

But even so, after seeing some screenshots and video clips, Mu Yuan was still extremely envious.

The spearmen are very powerful. They wear light armor and can stab a wild wolf half to death with one spear. They are no match for goblins or skeletons.

Even though the number is smaller, the overall strength is far superior.

He eats lemons.

If two-star units were this powerful, what about three-star units? Unfortunately, he hadn't found any player who had randomly gotten a three-star unit. He didn't know if it was because the lucky ones were low-key or if there simply weren't any such players.

Compared to the carefree players who started out as lancers, other players were having a hard time, and the experiences they shared were all tragic.

There was even a player who started as a two-star orc. He excitedly went out of the territory to explore, but was ambushed by a group of cavemen. In the end, he barely escaped with heavy casualties.

It's also very miserable.

"Even if you have a stronger army at the beginning, it's only a slight advantage. There's still no room for extravagance... The Eternal Continent is a very complex place!"

Mu Yuan's face was solemn, and soon he found a real strategy post.

It is authentic and detailed, and contains a lot of useful information.

"The Eternal Continent is fraught with dangers. How to gain a firm foothold in the early stages is crucial to the player's life and subsequent development. Therefore, I offer the following suggestions:"

"Don't rush to explore the outside world. Try to utilize the resources within your own territory to create a favorable combat environment... We must understand that this is not a simple game, so as long as we can think of it, there are many possible operations."

"After fully utilizing resources, players can gradually explore the outside world. It's not advisable to venture too far outside the territory at this time. If conditions permit, try to lure monsters back into the initial village and kill them using previously set traps and fortifications to minimize losses."

"The Eternal Continent has some 'game mechanics'. Killing monsters has a chance of dropping 'Soul Sand', a universal resource that can be used to train, upgrade, and restore soldiers. Also, killing enemies has a small chance of dropping 'Soldier Remnant Souls'. Players can consume this material and a certain amount of Soul Sand to recruit additional soldiers."

"Blindly exploring will put you in danger, but clinging to your birthplace will only lead to a slow death. Therefore, players need to be proactive, avoid powerful monsters, and hunt weaker enemies. Only in this way can they continuously grow stronger and withstand the attacks of increasingly fierce enemies."

"."

"As time goes by, players will face increasingly powerful enemies, and only after passing the Novice Trial can they overcome the initial difficulties."

"I wish all players a successful start. If you have any questions, please leave a message below."

“It’s really full of useful information!”

"If I hadn't had this guide, I would have paid a heavy price to try to find out this information. Thank you, the poster, and may you live a peaceful life."

"Now, even though the situation is still not very good, if we defend and explore according to the strategy, we may be able to fight for some survival."

If he could find the reward function, he would have given a huge reward.

Oh, he has no money? That's fine.

Mu Yuan truly admires the person who wrote the guide from the bottom of his heart, and he has benefited greatly from it.

He pondered, "First, I have to create some traps based on the limited conditions in this ruined village, such as pit traps, ground spike traps, or at least some hiding places that are convenient for concealed sneak attacks."

"I can search online for the instructions, but... can those stupid little skeletons really understand my instructions?"

Mu Yuan switched back to the game.

There is one thing worth praising about the little skeletons, they will spare no effort to carry out the lord's orders.

This is much better than thieves, thugs, goblins and the like.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the game, he saw the little skeleton picking up and taking things apart... Wait, what did you take apart?

bang——

The air was filled with smoke and dust, and a dilapidated hut completely collapsed under the attack of a skeleton.

The skeleton picked up a section of beam and trotted over to his character, looking like he was asking for credit.

Mu Yuan: "..."

Is this the skeleton's definition of tidying up? I really can't expect little skeletons to be smart; they don't even have brains.

But to be honest, the fact that the little skeleton was able to tear down the broken wooden house showed that he was quite strong. Mu Yuan's previous idea that he could fight two people at once was really hasty.

I underestimated your skeletons.

It also seeks credit. In a sense, the intelligence of this little skeleton is not that bad, and it is comparable to that of a pet cat or dog.

"Never mind, these dilapidated wooden houses are already dangerous. Sooner or later they will have to be demolished and rebuilt. Now we can get some materials from them, which can be used to set traps."

"As for the issue of having no place to live... skeletons don't need houses to live in, so demolishing them makes perfect sense."

Mu Yuan personally directed the micro-manipulation this time, fearing that the little skeleton would destroy some usable waste materials.

At the same time, he turned his gaze to the not very spacious village ruins, scanning them inch by inch, thinking about what kind of trap he should set.

Setting traps is also a science.

He must take maximum advantage of traps and circumstances to minimize future losses.

Mu Yuan moved his mouse, observing and pondering. Suddenly, he paused, his gaze fixed on a small skull, and suspected he was hallucinating.

A faint, tiny, inconspicuous +0.01 emerged from the skeleton and faded away after a while.

"What's happening here?"

He looked at the other skeletons and found that this was not an isolated case. Every once in a while, a faint '+0.01' symbol would appear on the top of these skeletons' heads, as if some mechanism had been triggered.

But, other players don’t have this kind of situation?

As he was thinking, a line of special characters popped up from the middle of the screen.

Skeleton Evolution Points: 0.13

"An indescribable great power can act on a certain type of soldier, causing it to evolve. Currently, evolution points can only be used on skeleton-type soldiers."

evolution?

Why is the Eternal Continent so dangerous? It’s because the players’ power is too weak. If they can obtain a bunch of three-star or even more powerful soldiers, the situation will naturally not be embarrassing.

And now, it seems that his own little skeletons can continue to evolve, and the cannon fodder troops can also have the status of an emperor!

The future is expected!

"Think about it carefully. I've already traveled through time and was chosen by the Extraordinary Game, so it wouldn't be too much to have a few more special abilities now."
