My troops evolve infinitely

What could he say? He pondered for a moment and could only say, "Yes, yes, yes," and continued to ask tentatively.

Yang Kong continued, "That's right, this secret forum is a guiding forum established by the state. There are some similar forums. The purpose is very simple, which is to guide new players who have obtained game qualifications but are still completely confused, so as to reduce the mortality rate of new players.

"After obtaining player qualifications and establishing contact with the Eternal Continent, I'm sure you started searching for relevant information online. Most newcomers do this after the excitement and nervousness wear off. Whenever someone searches for similar information, they'll eventually find forums like this. This isn't accidental, but a causal inevitability."

Mu Yuan nodded slightly.

Apart from anything else, if he didn't have that strategy post, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the gray wolf pack without any damage, but he did benefit from it.

"You asked why the existence of the extraordinary world isn't publicized. You should understand. Player qualifications are issued completely randomly and in limited quantities. Currently, it's certain that only young people have a higher chance of obtaining one. Furthermore, it's said there are deeper, more important reasons behind this, so the authorities can only guide them this way.

"The second purpose is that the authorities also need to record players. This is to maintain social order. It will not restrict your freedom of life or gaming, as long as you don't break the law."

Mu Yuan was not surprised by this.

Players are people who have the opportunity to wield extraordinary powers, and it is impossible for everyone else to have the same lofty thoughts and morals as him.

Control is inevitable, just like for weapons such as guns and swords.

But he still revealed three parts of surprise, three parts of fear and four parts of hesitation in his words.

Before he could continue, Yang Kong said, "Of course, the authorities also have preferential treatment for registered players. Not only will they purchase a high-value life accident insurance for players, but they will also provide players with a monthly subsidy of 10,000 yuan. Our Xuan Nation has always strongly supported extraordinary players."

As a player, it is true that I would have some resistance, but the official has given too much!

Can I receive subsidies every month just by registering?

Yes, as long as there is money, few people will challenge the law. The authorities are using money to directly nip the signs in the bud.

So are players short of money?

Mu Yuan can say responsibly that he lacks it!

Chapter 7 Official Forum

In the future, Super Games may be able to provide him with a lot of wealth and social status, but at present, at least for now, he can't find a channel to monetize it, and he is a poor guy.

What's more, Mu Yuan has a noble character. How could he resist registering his identity and abiding by the law?

It has nothing to do with the fact that his identity has probably been officially confirmed.

The official personnel looked at the situation and were very sure that he was a real player.

He really wanted to get more information from the officials, and it would be even better if he could get it for free.

Mu Yuan didn't believe it completely, but since it was free, it didn't matter whether it was true or not. He had a lot of confusion in his mind, so he carefully picked one of them and asked tentatively.

"It's said that top-tier troops have the power to overturn rivers and seas. What exactly are top-tier troops, and to what degree do they need to be trained to possess such power?"

"this problem……"

Just as Yang Kong was about to answer, he realized that the knowledge covered by this question was a bit broad. There were at least three or four points in one question. Wow!

Some areas touched upon his blind spots in knowledge.

Ahem, calm down. This guy is just a newbie. He just skipped the unclear parts. How can a newbie tell the difference?

He paused and said, "Actually, it's difficult for most of us players to possess advanced or top-tier troops, but ordinary troops can also possess terrifying power if they are cultivated to the highest level.

"Well, let me first explain the troop level system. You should have seen from the panel that the newly recruited troops are 'Level 0, Level 1'. Level 0 is also called the Apprentice Level. Troops at this stage are relatively ordinary and within the mundane range.

"Once your troop class reaches Level 9, you can begin the breakthrough process. Breaking through to the Professional level, also known as the Soldier level, allows your troop class to split rocks, shatter walls, and even dodge or block bullets, possessing all sorts of incredible abilities. This is the main troop class for most experienced players.

"The next level up is the second-tier elite level, the third-tier general level, and the fourth-tier commander level... and the commander level is already a powerful individual."

But Yang Kong had never seen how powerful the commander-level was. He was just a civilian.

"Of course, it's not easy for a troop to break through to a higher level. Not only does it require cultivating experience to perfection, but it also consumes a lot of rare materials to facilitate the breakthrough. You can understand this, right?"

Of course Mu Yuan understood.

This was standard gameplay, Soul Sand was like Experience Books, and Rare Treasures were the materials for breakthroughs. He was so familiar with this routine, he hadn't expected that even after traveling through time and space and entering the Extraordinary Game, he still had to diligently grind for materials.

"Not only that, there's a chance of failure when a troop breaks through to a higher level, and the probability of failure is closely related to the troop's rank. That's why everyone pursues high-level troop types, but they're hard to come by."

"So, ordinary soldiers don't have the opportunity to advance... to higher ranks?"

Mu Yuan asked.

Yang Kong: "Of course there is a chance. Everything is possible in the Eternal Continent. Some treasures have the effects of baptism, transformation, and evolution. However, these treasures are rare. It's not much easier than recruiting rare soldiers."

From Yang Kong, Mu Yuan also understood the grade classification of military units.

Common, rare, excellent, epic, legendary, mythical, and each major grade is further divided into one to three stars.

Therefore, Skeleton Soldiers can be considered the top ordinary-level soldiers←_←.

"What if a player randomly gets a high-level troop at the start? Wouldn't that be like reaching the top in one step?"

"This situation is impossible. It's hard for veteran players to recruit rare soldiers, let alone new players, let alone..."

Yang Kong paused, "Even if a player randomly generates advanced or top-tier troops, a newbie wouldn't be able to control them. This is because many advanced troops possess a certain level of intelligence in their early stages, and a few naturally intelligent ones can even awaken self-awareness, become able to speak, think, learn, and improve... And these powerful troops will not be able to submit to a new player.

"However, high-level soldiers are truly powerful. For example, rare-grade soldiers often possess special abilities, allowing them to manipulate energy before even reaching professional level. Even higher-level soldiers possess innate abilities. Beating low-level soldiers is like a father beating his son."

So that's what happened, but...

Mu Yuan switched back to the game interface, looked at the skills on the skeleton panel, and the skeleton that was practicing and improving on its own and could even talk, and he fell into deep thought.

"Ah, yes, yes."

"The advanced troops are so powerful. I'm so envious."

……

Mu Yuan asked a few more questions, and it seemed that Yang Kong had a headache, so he stopped reluctantly.

There may not be such opportunities to get information for free in the future.

"Ahem, you don't have to worry about intelligence. This forum is just a guide. There's not much information and it's a mixed bag. For real gamers, our Xuan Nation has also built a communication platform - the Taixuan Forum. I'll send you an invitation code later. Most of the information can be found in the Taixuan Forum."

Mu Yuan had long guessed that Xuan Country possessed a huge information exchange platform, but it was more enjoyable to get it for free.

Yang Kong quickly changed the subject, "Next, we need to discuss a more important issue, which concerns the safety and future of you new players."

"You should have experienced the difficulties faced by players in the Eternal Continent in the early stages. As time goes by, the presence of player territories will become more and more conspicuous, attracting more and more enemies' attention, and survival will become increasingly difficult."

indeed.

Not to mention himself, many players on the forum posted help posts. They suffered heavy losses on the first and second days. If this continues, the probability of losing money cannot be said to be very high, but it can only be said to be absolute.

"New players have few types of troops, most of which are ordinary one-star, and they have no experience. Even if they gain some opportunities during subsequent exploration, it will be difficult for them to survive the Novice Trial. You must know that during the Trial, players will face even more fierce attacks."

"You can't defend your territory, but that doesn't mean you'll lose your life. Therefore, our advice to most new players is to abandon your territory and move your character to a safe place, where you won't have to worry about your life anymore."

This seems to work, it's a cool operation.

but……

"Losing territory would have a significant impact on the players, wouldn't it? Furthermore, players can't cross the wilderness and find safety on their own."

"The impact is indeed significant. Without a territory, a player's status will drop from 'Quasi-Chosen Lord' to 'Chosen One'. There will also be restrictions on the number of troops they can command, and they won't be able to own troop buildings, etc. Their future prospects will be far inferior... ahem, enough said. Lord players certainly have advantages over non-Lord players, but there's a prerequisite here: we must first ensure our survival."

"For newcomers who don't have an extraordinary background or are extremely lucky, my advice is to save your life first."

Yang Kong continued, “As for the transfer, if you accept our proposal, the authorities will send an elite team to escort you to the large city built by our Xuan State boss.

"Sending an elite team to escort your game character through layers of obstacles will come at a considerable cost. I've made it clear here that this cost will be paid by the Lord's Altar you demolish. Even if you demolish the Lord's Altar yourself, it still has considerable value. Therefore, not only do you not have to worry about moving to a safe area, you can also earn some extra soul sand.

"Of course, locating your in-game territory takes time and requires your own cooperation. Furthermore, the official staff may not be sufficient. You will need to hold out for at least a few days until the escort team arrives."

According to Yang's daughter, the players' landing locations are not completely random. Players from Xuan Country are likely to be born on the outskirts of Xuan Country's developed territory.

Since Mu Yuan is from Baijiang City, he will be born in the corresponding area of ​​Baiyun Prefecture and Baijiang City, and the error will not be very large.

The Baiyun State government has already built a large city and possesses considerable power and influence in the Eternal Continent, which is also the prerequisite for rescue.

Otherwise, given the vastness of the Eternal Continent, it would be impossible to dispatch elite teams from farther away for rescue, and the danger would be countless times higher.

"Officials certainly profit from the rescue effort, but the players are also very happy to do it. After all, the vast majority of players have no choice. Without official rescue, their lives would be in jeopardy. With official intervention, players can escape life-threatening dangers and retain their player status. It's a completely worthwhile investment."

Mu Yuan pondered.

"You're right, but I still want to give it a try."

Yang Kong: "Since you agree, I'll sign you up... Huh? Wait, what did you say?!"

Yang Kong: “???”

Did he forget to describe the dangers of the Eternal Continent, or is this guy a little stubborn?

Brother, this is a matter of life and death.

Wait, Yang Kong thought of a third possibility. This kid looks very calm. If his initial troops are not bad, he will be more confident.

But people who swim regularly are more likely to drown.

During his time as a guide, he had seen players who were full of confidence but were ultimately defeated. Of course, he had also met true geniuses who had passed the novice trials with their own abilities and developed independent territories.

This is a thorny road.

On the contrary, those players who lie down and enjoy themselves early can live a comfortable life.

Just like him.

But Yang Kong also knew very well that for such confident or stubborn players, it would be difficult for him to change their minds just by persuading them.

He also admires it, and Xuan Kingdom also hopes that more players can pass the novice trial, so that Xuan Kingdom's territory and influence in the Eternal Continent will continue to expand.

He emphasized the dangers of the Novice Trial and warned, "No matter what, be careful when exploring the surrounding area early on. You can't afford any mistakes during this period. Also, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me... Remember, don't force yourself, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be too late."

"The official also provides substantial support to lords who aspire to pass the Novice Trial, including residual soldier souls, soul sand, equipment, and so on. However, to obtain these benefits, new players need to prove their potential, which means passing the assessment... For specific details, you can consult the local player association."

"Finally, finally, brother, let me say one more thing. Don't forget to register with your local association. We players occasionally compete with each other, but more often than not, we cooperate for mutual benefit. You can trade resources and information with other players, team up to attack monster camps, and so on."

"And most importantly, stay safe. Only when you are alive can you have a future."

Chapter 8 Trial Battle

This old man Yang is just like an old nanny, but I have to say, apart from being a bit daughter-obsessed, this old man is a pretty nice person. He was diligent and responsible in telling him a lot of information.

He definitely needs to exchange resources and information.

Although he currently has nothing in his pocket, he can still prepare in advance.
