A few streets away from Liu Nian, a group of people were preparing to enter the City A Library.
This is a five-person team: Warrior, Priest, Mage, Rogue, and Druid—a versatile combination.
At this moment, the warriors, mages, and druids formed a small defensive formation and were clearing out the infected people pouring into the library courtyard.
As for the other two?
The priest has no combat skills and can only provide support from behind the formation.
The thief was carefully fiddling with the keyhole of the library door in front of him using lock-picking tools.
He wanted to break down the door by force, but the unknown rules prevented him from doing so.
[The curator's key is needed]
This is the system message after failing to slash with a dagger.
Fortunately, the thief didn't forget his traditional skills, and the lock-picking technique he had previously revealed came in handy.
His left cheek was pressed against the library door, and a lock-picking tool was gently fiddling with the keyhole.
Suddenly his brow relaxed, and with a click, the door quietly opened.
The thief whispered a greeting to his teammates and pushed open the library door.
Upon hearing the thief's voice, the healer turned and dashed into the room.
At this moment, the warrior used a sweeping skill to force back the infected in front of him, and then shouted to his teammates to retreat.
Without hesitation, the teammates took advantage of the gap and ran into the gate.
The druid and the thief tore open the doors on either side, gesturing for the last warrior to enter.
The soldier avoided the infected person's advances and ran into the doorway.
Unexpectedly, they were entangled by agile infected on the way, and it seemed that the infected were about to surround the warriors.
The mage chanted incantations several times, and an ice ring spread outwards from the warrior's center.
"Frost Ring"
The infected people around the warrior were covered in frost and frozen stiff at the door in June.
Seizing the opportunity, the two men reached out and pulled the soldier inside, then decisively closed the library door.
With a bang, the door shut out the infected who were rushing in afterward.
After pounding on the gate several times without success, the infected people scattered into the hospital.
Apart from the few bodies of infected individuals, the hospital quickly returned to calm.
The five-man team inside the gate lay panting heavily, having just been through a battle that had taken a toll on their stamina.
Fortunately, no infected individuals were found in the library, giving them a chance to rest.
After resting, the group searched the lobby on the first floor and then turned their attention to the second floor.
After they stepped onto the second floor, the counterscanners inside their bodies alerted them even more intensely.
"Here," the thief said, pointing to a spot.
In the reading area on the second floor, a black portal to another world sits quietly.
They had some experience clearing dungeons before and knew that the rewards inside were much more generous.
The five of them excitedly ran towards the dungeon entrance.
[Do you want to challenge the Sacrifice Grounds dungeon? The rewards are generous, but the dungeon level is far too high for you.]
Everyone was eager to clear the dungeon, fearing heavy losses if someone else beat them to it.
So he rushed into the black door without carefully listening to the system's voice.
After the dungeon entrance changed shape, the five people disappeared from the entrance.
Another turbulent night descended, but having learned from the previous night's experience, this night passed peacefully.
After escaping from a beautiful dream, it's a new day.
Without a goal, I just go with the flow.
Liu Nian spent more than a month in this open-world sandbox game and gradually began to get used to this kind of life.
After leaving the slaughterhouse, the infected people on the street were forced to start working again, activating themselves from their dormant state and rushing towards Liu Nian from their hiding places.
As the infected attacked, Liu Nian grinned and summoned an army of undead.
Without interference from specially infected individuals, this group of infected people could only be fish on a chopping board, at Liu Nian's mercy.
As they pushed their way along the road, the infected group unexpectedly found a building materials card among their loot.
Liu Nian looked closely and realized that it was the timber card he had been longing for.
They hurriedly brought out the wooden card, and the building materials in the dark space changed again.
The current total building materials consist of five parts timber, five parts stone, and three parts crystal.
The construction materials for the Skeleton Recruitment Building, the Evil Temple, require five piles of wood and five piles of stone.
With all the building materials gathered, Liu Nian can now construct the recruitment building for skeleton soldiers.
When Liu Nian opened the panel and selected to build the Evil Temple, the system's voice came through.
[Is it confirmed that building materials will be used to construct the evil temple?]
【whether】
Liu Nian chose "yes" without hesitation.
Unlike other games where buildings are completed instantly after you select them, this game requires you to wait two hours in the real world for a building to finish.
As for why Liu Nian knew it was two hours, there was a countdown timer on the building panel!
Okay, you're the boss, you make the decisions.
After making a complaint, Liu Nian closed the panel and led the undead army to continue advancing.
I wonder if the higher the level of the barracks to be built, the longer the waiting time will be.
Otherwise, if a dragon tomb can be built in the future, wouldn't we have to wait ten days or half a month?
I thought things would go smoothly all the way, but as I was walking down a street, the dungeon detector, which had been dormant for a long time, suddenly started to pulsate faintly.
There's a dungeon? If you do that, I won't be sleepy anymore!
After clearing away the infected people from the roadside, Liu Nian's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
Find the right direction and head forward. After turning a corner, it seemed to be the library of City A ahead. Liu Nian vaguely remembered that she had been there a few times before.
It was during the hot summer, and he was resting at home on the weekend. In order to save on electricity bills, he went over there to use the air conditioning.
He had free reading materials and free air conditioning, which accompanied him through his cash-strapped holiday.
The past events are still vivid in my mind, as if they happened yesterday!
Since it's in the same direction as the dungeon, it can be considered a kind of fate.
It would be nice to take a look around and bring back some books to pass the time.
Otherwise, boredom can really be deadly!
With this in mind, he headed toward the library.
I don't know if it's because of the upcoming instance, but the density and quality of infected people have both increased.
Little did he know that this was a mess left over from the previous squad.
This meant Liu Nian couldn't just laze around; he had to join the fight.
As the number of infected people increased further, Liu Nian faced greater pressure and had to switch from offense to defense, setting up a defensive position in a supermarket not far from the library.
Open terrain is unsuitable for defense, as enemies can be found on all sides.
The natural barrier of the wall made things much easier for Liu Nian, allowing him to calmly engage in a tug-of-war with the infected.
The evil temple is now complete.
After an unknown amount of time, a system notification popped up.
After Liu Nian opened the dark space, he discovered that a building had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the previously empty space.
It was a single-story house with blue brick and tile structure, and dilapidated was the first impression it gave Liu Nian.
After selecting the Evil Temple, a recruitment interface will pop up.
It shows that Liu Nian can recruit twelve skeleton soldiers every week.
Of course, recruitment requires payment, with each skeleton soldier costing twelve crowns.
Settlement is done every weekend, and Liu Nian doesn't know whether unrecruited skeleton soldiers will be retained.
Compared to the Book of the Dead that Liu Nian currently possesses, the Evil Temple is somewhat of a useless structure.
I can get ten skeleton warriors every day without spending any resources, okay!
However, not everyone in the game is at Liu Nian's level, so for the other necromancers, this is definitely a boost.
