[Note: Congratulations to newly promoted Lord Su Bai! Your initial building, the Barracks, has successfully evolved into the Zerg-exclusive Hatchery!]
[Tip: In addition to the free recruitment at fixed times, the hatchery also allows lords to recruit soldiers themselves by consuming resources!]
"The hatchery is so impressive!"
"If we can recruit soldiers ourselves, wouldn't that allow us to mass-produce troops and launch a swarm attack?"
"Awesome! The day of takeoff is today!"
Su Bai grinned, his face practically beaming with joy.
Generally, the initial building given to all new lords—the barracks—is exactly the same.
Free recruitment can only be conducted randomly within a fixed period.
To enable the function of recruiting soldiers independently, one must have a barracks dedicated to their own race.
This condition is extremely demanding, and most lords are unable to meet it.
To have a barracks exclusive to their own race, one must obtain the corresponding blueprints.
Or, like Su Bai, you might have incredible luck and receive a system reward—an evolution stone.
It must be said that wiping out that kobold village was a very wise move.
Then, Su Bai stepped forward to check the details of the evolved barracks.
[Incubator]
[Level: Lv2]
[Quality: A Myth of Ultimate Excellence]
[Unique: Exclusive Building for the Zerg in StarCraft]
[Description: The Hatchery is a living organism that functions as the heart of the interstellar Zerg hive.]
[Function: Basic recruitment building, recruits territory-specific troops]
[Currently available for recruitment]
[Ziggling: Requires 100 souls]
[Note: You can recruit once for free every 23 hours. The recruited troops will be of the same level and quality as your barracks.]
Upgrade Requirements: 2000 Wood, 2000 Stone, 1000 Iron Blocks, 100 Basic Energy Gems
[Next level: Shorten the free recruitment time and increase the probability of recruiting advanced units]
[Note: The building level cannot be higher than the territory level, otherwise the upgrade will fail.]
"The hatchery is really powerful. It can consume souls to recruit jumping insects on its own. One day, it will be possible to completely overwhelm the enemy with a vast swarm of insects."
Su Bai was beaming with joy, a broad smile spreading across his face.
Now, he possesses thousands of souls and is worried about where to spend them.
It would be perfect to use it later to recruit soldiers independently.
Later, as the hatchery's level increases, it will be able to recruit more types of soldiers.
At that time, a massive, diverse army of interstellar Zerg will sweep across the entire Land of Redemption like a tidal wave.
The insect swarm will engulf all hostile nations to China, including Japan, the United States, India, and the Great Cold Nation.
That scene is spectacular just to think about!
"Upgrade the incubator first, then start recruiting!"
Su Bai viewed the resource page.
【Soul: 4380??】
【wood:】
[Stone: 2300]
Iron Blocks: 5000
[Basic Energy Gem: 230]
[Biomass: 1080]
"With so many resources, we're quite wealthy!"
Su Bai was so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
Other newly appointed lords would be lucky to have even one-tenth of their own resources.
Especially the wood that costs over five figures, it's so pleasing to the eye.
Just then.
A synthesized mechanical voice suddenly sounded from the system.
[Hint: Your young worker bee has discovered a miniature iron ore deposit and collected 150 iron blocks!]
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the amount of iron blocks obtained has increased tenfold!]
[Iron Block +1500]
[Hint: Your worker bee has discovered a boulder and collected 220 stones!]
[Congratulations, Lord! With the enhanced effect of the Prayer, the number of stones obtained has increased tenfold!]
[Stone +2200]
"The worker bees are awesome! Now we can really upgrade the barracks, oh wait, I mean the hatchery!"
Su Bai smiled and chose to upgrade.
[Timber - 2000]
【Stone-2000】
[Iron Block - 1000]
[Basic Energy Gem - 100]
Immediately afterwards, the hatchery was enveloped in a faint purple light.
One minute later.
[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, the hatchery has been successfully upgraded]
[Hatchery level has reached Lv3]
After the upgrade, the free recruitment period for the incubator was shortened by one hour.
It has been reduced from 23 hours to 22 hours.
"Recruit Zerglings!"
Su Bai consumed 4000 souls to instantly change the number of Zerglings he could recruit to 40!
Immediately, the hatchery seemed to come back to life.
The peristaltic epidermis and biomass are constantly churning.
A short while later.
One after another, springtails with sharp fangs emerged from the hatchery.
Looking at the 40 newly recruited jumping insects in front of him, Su Bai grinned, his face almost beaming with joy.
Including the original 10 Zerglings, the territory now has a total of 50 Zerglings.
In the early stages of entering the Land of Redemption, these 50 Zerglings can certainly be considered a large army.
Sweeping away the surrounding wild beasts, or the native forces like the kobold villages, is as easy as chopping vegetables.
Furthermore, with the enhancement of the Queen of Blades' talent—Heart of the Zerg—her overall combat power has increased by another 15%!
"I estimate that after the novice period ends, the other newly promoted lords will be astonished, as will Wang Zhenguo, the newly promoted lord in charge of the military region."
Thinking of this, Su Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, wanting to see their shocked expressions.
Of course, there's also Guo Jing, the top leader of the military region.
He always thought that he was only the weakest of the Zerg.
Seeing this powerful interstellar Zerg, and the heroine Queen of Blades, would surely be both shocking and exhilarating.
"We must not only fight for ourselves, but also for the Dragon Kingdom!"
Su Bai was in high spirits, determined to take first place on the list of newly promoted lords!
At this moment, the system's information appeared before my eyes.
[Note: Free recruitment attempts at the barracks have been refreshed.]
[Current free attempts: 1]
"I almost forgot, I haven't used up my free recruitment attempts yet. Luckily, the system reminded me. It's so user-friendly!"
Su Bai chose to recruit.
A moment later, a serpent emerged from the barracks.
[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai! Your newly recruited unit, the "Hydralisk," has received a Mythic-level buff, increasing its number to 8!]
Immediately afterwards, seven more hydralisks emerged.
"Although we didn't recruit any new units, having eight more Hydralisks is still pretty good!"
Su Bai nodded, still very satisfied.
After all, zebra gnats can only engage in melee combat and cannot attack from a distance.
An army composed of hydralisks with their sharp, bony spikes for ranged attacks is a balanced and perfect army.
Currently, the territory contains 50 Zerglings and 16 Hydralisks, and the army is gradually growing in size.
