Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Reduction at the Bottom of the Rankings
?
"Resources are not a major issue for now; I''m self-sufficient every day thanks to a large number of basic buildings," Qin Muye looked at his own resource column. With the Spirit Monsters working and Blood Frenzy guaranteeing combat power, many things became easier.
[Basic Resources]
[Food: Daily Output 11425]
[Minerals: Daily Output 3500]
[Wood: Daily Output 3500]
[Gold Coin: Daily Output 35000]
[Special Resources]
[Gemstone: Daily Output 180]
[Crystal: Daily Output 180]
[Sulfur: Daily Output 180]
[Mercury: Daily Output 180]
At first glance it seems like food could increase by over eleven thousand units a day, but in reality, about ten thousand units of food are consumed every day.
The Frenzy Blood Spirit Monster consumes twelve units a day, Magic Energy Spirit Monster nine units a day, and adding in the consumption of Qin Muye, Demon Blood, and Blood Frenzy amounts to barely a ripple.
It''s precisely because he exchanged large amounts of basic resource building blueprints to build and upgrade them all to LV3 that the food resources have a surplus of over a thousand units per day. If it were just the food given by monster sieges, it really wouldn''t last more than a few days.
As for ranks, this time he planned to further advance the Magic Energy Spirit Monster. Besides the Elemental Resonance ability, he also planned to include an effect modified from the Death
Curse.
This was based on data obtained from Blood Frenzy and another Magic Energy Spirit Monster that perished due to the Death Curse.
As for the possible existence of Death Energy Emission? That''s out of the question. Qin Muye could balance the Power of Death and Element quite nicely.
Keep in mind that the Elemental Resonance on the Magic Energy Spirit Monster was inspired by Demon Blood''s experience with Magic Rebound, which was reducing it to a level that wouldn''t harm itself while gaining benefits, combined with the secret technique Blood Frenzy to create Elemental Resonance.
Now, he naturally aims to reduce the negative effects of Death Energy Emission to a degree that it won''t harm the Magic Energy Spirit Monster, and then using the secret technique, Death Curse, to modify it into a similar new skill.
"However, if I do this, I''ll also have to modify Elemental Resonance, otherwise, there will be a conflict."
Currently, Elemental Resonance actually encompasses only the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind, so they must be separated to create a new cycle rather than being combined with Blood Frenzy, or else they''ll conflict with the new Power of Death.
Although the Power of Death is technically an Element, it isn''t part of the same system. Otherwise, why would there be a distinction between Elemental Masters and Undead Mages? In fact, if Qin Muye had enough Knowledge about the four grand Elements, he could completely disassemble them and form four brand-new Skills, just like with the Power of
Death.
Unfortunately, he does not.
Before, he wanted to exchange for a Mage Reclassification Certificate, but it was postponed again due to the development of his territory. So, he could only consider it after the next
monster siege.
But first, he needed to finish exchanging the remaining basic buildings and then exchange for the consumable Items he needed, namely those that could temporarily increase the Knowledge Attribute.
He did think about exchanging for Treasures, but unfortunately, they were all Advanced Treasures starting at seven-digit Points. Rare building blueprints started at around five digits and didn''t even include construction resources, which made them even more precious. Therefore, high-end Items were out of reach, and he couldn''t afford them. The key was to get the basic infrastructure done right.
"What a pity, the Trading House in the market is just for show." It''s not just Qin Muye who is lacking; all Lords are short on goods. It''s simply not feasible to sell good Items in the Trading House, much better to go to the store instead.
