The process of opening the anti-alien gift pack takes thirty seconds, which makes Liu Nian feel that the time is unusually long.
[Open the gift pack for fighting against alien races]
[Gained 500 merit points, 200 reputation points, and 5,000 crowns]
[Obtained one Tier 4 skill book]
[Obtain one purple equipment card]
[The comprehensive package for combating alien races has been completed]
Another long string of text appeared, but considering the decent value of the acquired items, Liu Nian decided to forgive it.
First, check the skill books; of course, the more skills the better.
The moment Liu Nian saw the skill book, he exclaimed, "Holy crap, this is amazing!"
[Summoning: Command Vampires] (Tier 4 Dark Magic)
Effect: Summons a vampire to fight for you!
From today onwards, I no longer need to be stingy and worry about anything. You know, a group of vampires is a headache even for tier 7 units.
The only hope now is that this skill can add one more vampire with each level up, instead of just increasing attack and defense like the Dark Knight.
It seems that they know there is a new skill. It's past midnight now, and a new day has begun.
With his mana refreshed, Liu Nian upgraded his Vampire Control skill to level two.
My anxiety subsided with the arrival of the extra vampire; I was indeed able to recruit one more vampire.
Without further hesitation, Liu Nian invested all his magic points into learning how to control vampires, decisively raising his control of vampires to the maximum level, even at the cost of drinking two magic potions.
Having high mana means you can do whatever you want. Magic potions restore mana based on a percentage, and one basic magic potion can restore Liu Nian's mana by 3,000.
Watching his magic points rise rapidly, Liu Nian felt secretly delighted.
As long as he doesn't waste mana potions, Liu Nian's current mana of 15,000 is enough to level up any skill to the maximum level.
The other equipment card is a magic wand, which is also an off-hand weapon.
Now, Liu Nian is holding a book in one hand and a wand in the other, giving him a bit of a Hogwarts apprentice vibe, except that his advanced age makes him a little sad.
[Shadow Wand] (Off-hand, Purple Quality)
Intelligence +6, Spirit +3, Constitution +3
Effect: Increases magic damage by 20 points/healing effect.
Effect: Each time the user casts the spell, one layer of the target's shadow resistance is removed. This effect can stack, up to a maximum of ten layers. (Each layer removes two points of the target's shadow resistance.)
The continuous stream of intelligent equipment made Liu Nian feel much smarter all of a sudden, and his mind became clearer.
Moreover, the sudden appearance of ten more ghosts and ten more vampires made him feel that his team was constantly growing.
His growing strength also made him arrogant, and he suddenly wanted to challenge the night-walking monsters.
However, not now, after he has fully understood the escort mission.
He had to try, or this shadow would continue to haunt him.
Among the cards dropped by the Orc Berserkers, we unexpectedly found building material cards, which were just enough to meet the building requirements for the Skeleton Conversion Field.
This was an unexpected delight. Liu Nian decisively invested all the stone and wood materials and felt a strange emotion as he looked at the words "under construction".
It was clearly a happy occasion, but there was no one to share this joy with; I had to process it all alone.
Before he could process these emotions, a new system notification sounded.
[Player Liu Nian has completed the construction of all basic buildings in the Dark Space. Three intermediate buildings are now available for construction.]
Hearing the system's emotionless voice ring in his mind, Liu Nian closed the panel and reopened it, and sure enough, there were three advanced buildings available for construction.
These are respectively a cemetery, a tomb, and a spirit tomb.
Graveyard: Allows players to recruit zombies. (8 zombies produced per week)
Tomb (Advanced building of the Evil Temple): Allows players to recruit eight more skeletons per week.
Spirit Tomb: Allows players to recruit spirits. (Weekly production: 6)
These three advanced building structures—the tomb and the burial ground—only require wood and stone, but the spirit tomb requires the rare building material mercury.
Fortunately, he had previously obtained five piles of mercury, so he only needed ten pieces of wood and five pieces of stone to build the spirit tomb.
Indeed, this discovery brought Liu Nian to a great delight.
Rare building materials are very difficult to obtain, so having readily available ones now makes things much easier.
Of the three advanced buildings, only the Spirit Tomb caught Liu Nian's eye. Who would complain about having too many flying units?
The other two buildings are rather disappointing. At least the tomb can increase the number of skeletons, but I don't even want to build the cemetery.
Don't ask, the answer is: short legs ruin everything!
However, there is a skeleton conversion field, which can recruit all of them and convert them into skeletons.
Here we must mention the special building, the Skeleton Conversion Field, which can convert any other unit into a skeleton.
This gave Liu Nian a new idea: what if the corpses in his space could be transformed into skeletons?
This conjecture opened the door to a new world for Liu Nian. If it were feasible, then the Skull Sea would no longer be an unattainable legend.
Looking at the skull conversion factory counting down in front of me, I still get a little excited just thinking about it now.
However, based on the previous guess, if we don't build the cemetery, the subsequent advanced buildings won't appear. So, we can think about it but we still have to build it. We can just make it the last building.
The rest of the cards were all resource cards, which Liu Nian had no desire to examine closely, and he threw them all into his spatial storage.
She has a very good physique; even if she wakes up in the middle of the night, Liu Nian is still full of energy in the morning.
This is nothing like Liu Nian in peacetime; after staying up all night, he simply can't get up the next day.
As dawn broke, the caravan downstairs began packing its bags and preparing to depart.
I gently woke Lu Jiaqi up, but to my surprise, the girl's first reaction was to burst out laughing.
? ?
Am I ridiculous?
Liu Nian looked at Lu Jiaqi with confusion, waiting for an explanation.
The little girl laughed so hard she could hardly breathe, and said intermittently, "Your taste in clothing needs improvement."
Pshaw, I thought there would be something constructive in the comments.
You just don't understand men. As long as he has a change of clothes, he can wear them forever.
Nevertheless, he still turned and went to the restroom.
After wiping the dust off the bathroom mirror, Liu Nian finally understood why the little girl was laughing.
Because... hahaha... Liu Nian herself couldn't help but laugh.
The mirror reflected a one-eyed man wearing a gold hat, a jet-black robe, a gaudy leather belt around his waist, and cyberpunk-style shoes. In his hand, however, he held a Hogwarts-style spellbook and wand.
This outfit is definitely quite unconventional!
As they walked out together, everyone politely greeted Liu Nian, but their attempts to suppress laughter clearly showed that the public shared a consistent aesthetic.
So much so that Liu Nian could vaguely hear laughter coming from afar.
This team has experienced many partings. From the initial hundred-person team, it has now lost more than half of its members. Let it be a joke, I'm not so bad as to kill someone over a disagreement.
The guards who were originally a few small mercenary groups have now been completely scattered, with each group left with only a few scattered members.
Liu Nian is now implicitly the leader of the group, and they always inform him of any decisions they make.
"We'll reach City B in two days. Hopefully nothing goes wrong," Liu Nian thought, looking at the road ahead.
