On second thought, it doesn't matter; it's just the cost of trial and error.
I have everything I need right now, so there's no harm in using it to test things out.
The first target that came to mind was Tiffany. Liu Nian held the card up to it with anticipation, but was met with a harsh reality check.
[The target does not meet the advancement requirements]
Okay, so everyone says it was a trial and error.
Liu Nian was not discouraged. "Vampire, it's your turn!"
He aimed the card at the vampire.
[The target does not meet the advancement requirements]
The vampire rolled his eyes in a direction Liu Nian couldn't see.
The Dark Templars were subsequently rejected.
Liu Nian held this special card and questioned his existence.
What the heck? Why does this not fit and that doesn't fit?
This is what you call a special card?
It's really quite unique; anyone who understands it can't use it!
Could it be myself? Liu Nian's mind raced.
[Ineffective against players]
Your damn nickname is practically useless; it's no different from saying nothing at all.
Having given up hope, Liu Nian used the card on the ghoul.
The card in my hand flashed with light, and then the system's confirmation voice came through in my mind.
[Are you sure you want to transform the small ghouls into medium-sized ghouls?]
【whether】
? ?
Are there different classes for the same type of summoned creature?
Why can't other summoned creatures be summoned?
Although she didn't understand the intricacies involved, it didn't prevent Liu Nian from making a choice.
"Yes." Liu Nian decisively selected this option.
Are there any warriors who would choose no?
The advancement card disappeared after Liu Nian selected "yes," and a black mist surged from the ground, enveloping the ghoul that Liu Nian had chosen.
The black mist came and went quickly, and after it disappeared, a completely transformed ghoul appeared before everyone.
This ghoul was larger than the other five, with a layer of scale-like skin for protection. In addition, its exposed fangs and claws were longer and sharper than those of the smaller ghouls, and the other ghouls seemed to regard it as their leader.
Upon seeing this, Liu Nian used information gathering on it.
[Medium Ghoul] (Elite Unit)
Attack power: 8-10
Defense: 4-6
Health Points: 150
The skills remain unchanged, just like before.
However, its attack, defense, and health have all increased significantly, especially its health, which is comparable to that of a level 2 zombie.
Of course, this value is also obtained after the bonus from a level 6 summoned ghost.
It's unclear whether the ghouls summoned after this unit is destroyed will still contain this unit.
Or is this just a one-time unit, and the next one summoned will still be a regular ghoul?
Also, since it's currently an elite unit, will it be promoted to a boss again?
Liu Nian was actually a little excited when she thought about this.
The mystery will eventually be solved, but that doesn't stop Liu Nian from being happy right now.
Its strength has increased greatly, which is equivalent to my strength increasing greatly.
Now that my strength has greatly increased, what reason do I have not to be happy?
...
Of course, some people are happy while others are sad.
Meng Ziyi is not very happy right now.
The series of setbacks left him feeling somewhat depressed.
Not only was the person who escaped not found, but those who went after him also disappeared.
The ten-person search team that went out to look for them has also been quietly wiped out.
I won't even go into that, but what's even more outrageous is that a team capable of defeating the Guardians suddenly appeared in the city under my control.
He had found the guardian of the square before, and to be on the safe side, none of the teams he sent out came out alive.
Moreover, once inside, all communication methods ceased, and he could not observe the situation inside from outside the protective shield, leaving him unaware of the extent of the risks inside.
Therefore, he chose not to act rashly, but the report that just came out was a blatant slap in the face to him.
He felt ashamed that he, who considered himself the king of City A, couldn't even manage to set up a teleportation portal.
Now send all the ravens to the plaza area, hoping to find the mysterious players.
In order to regain his authority, he needs to make an example of someone.
With that thought in mind, he picked up the red wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
...
Temporary camp outside the city.
The camp was filled with a cacophony of sounds, creating a bustling scene. A few raven cries caught the attention of the special individuals.
Upon hearing the cawing of the raven, the rescued scout, Ah Gou, slipped out of the tent under a pretext.
He greeted his colleagues with a smile as he passed by, and then walked all the way to the entrance of the camp.
A guard was standing at the entrance, looking around aimlessly. He immediately stood up straight when he saw someone approaching.
"Hey, Ah Gou, what are you doing out here?" The guard and the scout were very familiar with each other, and he greeted him warmly when he saw him coming over.
"Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes." He said, making a hip thrusting motion, and when he got to the guard, he took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket and handed it to him.
The guard understood; this kind of situation often occurred in the wild, and he was used to it.
He took the cigarette from the man, laughed heartily, and opened the door for him, not forgetting to give him a few words of advice.
"Be careful, this place is very eerie at night."
"What's there to be afraid of? If you run into a female ghost, who knows who will be begging for help?" Ah Gou teased without turning around as he walked into the shadows.
"Hahaha, you're really something!" The guard finished speaking and ignored him. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he quickly walked to the shadows, took out a box of matches, lit the cigarette, and took a deep drag.
As Ah Gou disappeared into the shadows, a raven soon flew to his shoulder and perched there.
He keenly noticed that there was a piece of paper tied to the raven's leg.
I untied the thin thread binding the paper and, by the moonlight, could see the small characters written on it.
"Find out the whereabouts of Li Qiang, who escaped, and eliminate him if necessary."
Li Qiang? That brother-obsessed guy! He's still alive.
After figuring it out, he lit the note in his hand and then used it to light the cigarette in his mouth.
After watching the flames engulf the entire note in his hand, he flicked his wrist, and the note scattered in the air.
He only turned and walked back to the camp after he could no longer see the embers of the note.
The guards from the camp had returned to their posts. The two men smelled the cigarette smoke on each other and tacitly refrained from exposing each other's presence.
Ah Gou looked at him casually: "Why don't I see Captain Li Gang? Is he slacking off? That's not like him."
Upon hearing this, the guard shook his head and sighed: "Brother Gang and his brother have disappeared together. I wonder which bastard dared to take advantage of us."
"When I find them, I'll skin them alive!" He spat on the ground, still not satisfied.
Ah Gou felt a chill run down his spine and quickly changed the subject: "Yeah, they're a bunch of bastards. I'm going back now, I have to get up early tomorrow."
"Damn, we still have to go out tomorrow morning like this? Aren't we supposed to rest for a few more days? The higher-ups are really inhumane," the guard said with concern.
"You can't say that, there's no one here! Let's go!" Ah Gou patted his shoulder.
"Be careful," the guard said from behind him.
Ah Gou didn't answer; a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, but it quickly turned cold again.
