My troops evolve infinitely

Duolai looked at the soul sand with tears at its corners, but it still pushed the pile of soul sand in front of Mu Yuan reluctantly.

It shed tears of reluctance.

"135.7g of soul sand."

The drops were more than those in the entire goblin camp before, but the number of goblins this time was smaller, which was enough to prove that they were all elite.

Muyuan took 20g of the milk and fed it to Duolai. Duolai's large eyes, like LED screens, suddenly changed from (╥╯^╰╥) to (ω). It transformed in a split second.

Mu Yuan no longer cares about the mere one hundred grams of soul sand, but the eight random residual souls and two two-star residual souls in front of him can barely comfort his wounded heart.

"In summary, the value of the items dropped in this battle is approximately equivalent to over a kilogram of soul sand. However, after factoring in equipment loss and recovery item loss, the total gain is only about 600 to 700 grams."

This can barely be considered a big victory.

No wonder some veteran players lost all their money after a single failure.

The lords have a territory to back them up, but sometimes the losses in battle are also heartbreaking.

"As expected, the Eternal World is still too dangerous. We can never be careless at any time."

……

In the real world, inside an old hut.

Mu Yuan was typing away on the keyboard, searching for relevant information on the forum.

Information about anomalous goblins.

However, it is rare. Occasionally, players do encounter very elite goblins who know how to ambush and form formations, but they are only described in a few sentences.

Moreover, those who have had these experiences are all old players. How could he, a weak and pitiful newbie, be targeted by goblins?

This must be the world's fault!

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are new lords who have similar experiences as him, but they are defeated in one encounter, and of course no information will be circulated.

"In short, we must be more cautious in future explorations, and the goblin camp must be conquered as soon as possible. The names of the goblins have already filled an entire page in the Dead Bones' little notebook of ways to die."

"However, there is something more urgent at the moment."

Today’s experience made Mu Yuan realize the fragility of the human body.

He was indeed only nearly disfigured, and the amulet on him still had two bursts of protective power, but...

If the old silver coin is a rare monster;

If a professional-level monster comes to trick or sneak attack;

If a huge fireball suddenly falls from the sky;

In short, the Eternal World was too dangerous, and the human body was too weak. Even though he had eaten a lot of Red Blood Fruit and could run a thousand meters in under three minutes, he was still a weakling in front of all the extraordinary monsters.

No matter how much he asks for protection from the military, he cannot change the fact that he himself is his fatal weakness.

Protection has its limits.

So he,

It's time to become stronger.

"Ding! The item you redeemed has been delivered. Please sign for it."

Mu Yuan went downstairs to sign for the package, then returned to the bedroom and entered the password to open the box.

Suddenly, six sparkling soul crystal coins and a culture medium filled with milky white liquid appeared before his eyes.

Mu Yuan picked up the culture medium.

Jiuxuan culture medium!

It is said that this is a product from the territory of a top boss, and it is the most suitable treasure for newcomers to improve themselves and lay a solid foundation, without a doubt.

Unlike treasures such as Dragon Blood Fruit and Diamond Fruit, while they bring great improvements to players, they also change the players' physical characteristics, making the paths that players can take in the future and the treasures that are suitable for them gradually narrow.

It even makes players treat others as if they are not human.

If you use the inheritance stone to solidify your class, it will limit your own potential. No lord with a little ambition would do that.

Mu Yuan picked up the Jiuxuan culture solution and looked at the instructions. Hmm, it seems that high-level treasures only require a simple and unpretentious way of taking them.

In that case, he unscrewed the bottle and took a sip.

Gulu gulu~

The culture medium began to take effect, but he did not seem to feel the pain he felt when taking the red blood fruit. He just felt warm all over, as if he was soaked in the fountain of life, and his body and even his soul were sublimated.

"Ah~~~"

How refreshing and comfortable it is.

He felt as if he was floating in the clouds.

When the effect of the medicine gradually wore off and he began to wake up, he looked at the time and found that more than four hours had passed.

"Have I become stronger?"

Mu Yuan looked down at himself. His muscles hadn't changed at all, but...

The dust in the bedroom, the tiny cracks on the wall, the mosquitoes buzzing not far away, everything was clearly visible in his eyes.

He even had a vague feeling behind him that was beyond his sight.

He stretched out his hand, put two fingers together and caught the buzzing mosquito. The wind was light and the clouds were clear.

He looked down at himself and could vaguely sense the flow of energy in his body.

He stood up, he turned around, he leaped and moved.

Mu Yuan placed his hands on his waist, clasped them together to gather strength, and a faint white light even emerged from his palms.

He has indeed become stronger, much stronger!

"If before, my combat power was only equivalent to that of a level 2 Skeleton, then now..."

He thought to himself that he could fight a level 7 skeleton soldier and 10 small skeletons.

And that’s just the next step.

The Jiuxuan culture fluid has greatly enhanced his spiritual power. Even if Mu Yuan does not include the troops in the mark, he can directly perceive the existence of troops such as the Dead Bones.

If he continues to improve, perhaps he will be able to overlook the territory directly without the help of computers or other media.

If any old silver coin dares to attack him again, Mu Yuan will let the other party understand what cruelty is.

"Is this what it feels like to become stronger?"

"That's really good~"

Chapter 48: Challenging the Secret Realm

That night,

Mu Yuan did several sets of radio gymnastics and was still full of energy. He sat in front of the computer, carefully controlling the mouse and typing slowly, for fear of accidentally breaking the keyboard and mouse.

Perhaps it was because the Jiuxuan culture fluid was high-end enough, and the entire improvement process was gentle and meticulous. In addition, his mental strength was enhanced, and his control over his body was strengthened. So far, there had not been any embarrassing incidents such as smashing the table or breaking the chopsticks.

If it was some 'more cost-effective' inhuman treasure, he would have probably torn down the house by now.

It's worth mentioning that, with his spiritual power significantly increased, Mu Yuan now barely needs a mouse or keyboard to play games anymore. His thoughts animate the characters, and his words echo through his voice – it's quick and easy.

Of course, he still cannot do without the computer as a media window for the time being.

But he still had to use the mouse and keyboard to log into the Taixuan Forum, so he had to be cautious.

"The goblin camp must be eliminated as soon as possible, but we can't let these goblins affect our development rhythm."

He had two main purposes in exploring the outside world. One was to defeat powerful enemies like the Goblin Camp to prevent them from swarming in during the Lord's Trial.

The second is to find and obtain rare treasures that can enhance your strength.

The second point is more important than the first. As long as his own strength is strong enough, he doesn't need to care about the strength of the monsters around him.

When the time comes, we will wipe them out together.

Many paid guide posts on the forum mention how to find these rare treasures.

After passing the resource assessment, he even obtained an advanced strategy from the association, which mentioned and listed the possible treasures and opportunities around the newcomer's territory.

"Let's skip the monster gathering places and the residual soul projection points and talk about the more rare and high-value treasures, such as ancient architectural ruins, temples, etc."

"Indeed, there were ancient civilizations in the past, more than one. Some of these civilizations were incredibly glorious, and even a tiny bit of what remains is of immense value. And the temples... it's rumored that they retain the power of fallen ancient gods. If a lord can find such a treasured site, there's a high chance they'll receive a bless-boosting blessing or a miracle blueprint."

"However, all of the above factors are subject to uncertainty. The ancient ruins may contain nothing, and the temple may have completely lost its former glory. However, there is one kind of treasure land that will surely yield something once you enter it, and that is challenging the secret realm."

Challenging the secret realm is an unfamiliar area in the eyes of many old players. It is said to be a very special kind of secret realm, shaped by the rules of the eternal world. It is a reward secret realm provided to high-potential players.

It’s like a gift from heaven and earth.

There are two types of secret realms: fixed secret realms and random limited-time secret realms.

The Xuan Kingdom officials seem to control some fixed entrances to secret realms. Of course, these are too far away for newcomers, and most veteran players are not qualified to challenge the secret realms.

A random, limited-time challenge realm, as the name suggests, the entrance to the realm may appear anywhere in the world and disappear after a period of time.

"Among the challenge secret realms, there is a small category called the Newcomer Challenge Secret Realm, which only Newcomer Lords can enter."

"This is a typical secret realm with low difficulty, high rewards, and no danger. Its entrance may randomly appear around the territories of stronger newcomers, and it only appears during the period before the trial. Newcomers with strength can give it a try. Don't miss this opportunity to obtain the gift of heaven and earth."

"It's worth mentioning that while there's no danger for newcomers challenging the secret realm, there are often numerous monsters lurking outside the entrance. Only by eliminating these monsters can one truly enter the secret realm. Therefore, even if a newcomer discovers the entrance to the secret realm, they must proceed according to their capabilities. Losing a large number of troops might not be worth it."

"So usually, only a small group of the most outstanding newcomers can enter this challenging secret realm."

Mu Yuan touched his chin.

His territory can be considered a stronger newcomer's territory, right?

This document also includes a diagram of the entrance to the secret realm.

——The ancient gate of time and space stands on the earth, and inside it is a rotating vortex of time and space.

The appearance is relatively obvious, but you have to be careful that the entrance to the secret realm is hidden in some valley, so you have to pay close attention to it from now on.
