On the second day, the Vientiane Ruins opened again. Only the Huaxia team was at the entrance. The other teams tacitly retreated and looked at them from afar. The ordinary players in the distance had envious expressions on their faces.
Lin Xiao and Wu Zhonglin cupped their fists and agreed to go back to Eastcalm to spar after the mid-term exams.
They parted ways with the other students one by one. Finally, they entered the sun-like ruins with Shen Yuexin.
After entering the ruins, he was alone again when he regained his senses. He was holding her hand, but the beauty was no longer there.
When he reappeared, he was in an ancient and dilapidated temple. Strange patterns could be seen on the moss-covered floor. Above his head was a pitch-black starry sky. Around him were dilapidated walls and dilapidated walls. In the distance, he could not see clearly, but he could not see clearly.
While he was puzzled, the sky suddenly lit up. He quickly looked up. Endless white light suddenly fell and enveloped him. He could not see anything clearly. A cold mechanical voice sounded in his ears.
"Participant detected. Initializing …"
"Initialization complete. Generating data …"
"Initial attributes generated. Generating summoning core …"
Lin Xiao felt something appear on his body. Then, the notifications continued.
"Summoning core generated. Generating attribute panel …"
"Attribute panel generated. Generating local hero template …"
"Local hero template generated. Checking participant status …"
"Detected seven additional initial option cards, loading …"
"Additional initial options have been loaded. Please follow the instructions below."
The mechanical voice paused. The endless white light in front of Lin Xiao slowly disappeared. A familiar attribute panel appeared in front of him.
"Please assign initial strategic attributes!"
There were four strategic attributes on the panel. They were Constitution, Strength, Speed, and Wisdom. The first three represented the attributes of the summoned clan or troop class. Wisdom represented the prerequisite and power of strategic spells.
Just like in Heroes of Might and Magic, strategic attributes could be directly added to the subordinate clan or troop class.
One point of Strength was equivalent to increasing the strength of an adult male.
For example, an adult male only had one point of Strength. If he had five points of Strength, then even if his subordinates were all ordinary militia, they could obtain a strength bonus equivalent to the strength of five adult males.
This strategic attribute bonus was targeted at all the troops under his command.
Lin Xiao's avatar descended. Its divinity level was only level four, and it only had four strategic attributes. He pondered for a moment and added one point to Constitution, two points to Strength, and one point to Agility. He did not add any points to Intelligence.
Once he was done, he closed his stats page and a new interface popped up. There were three options on it: Troop Types, Resources, and Treasures.
The troop type card was a random troop type card that could summon a troop type that could only be used in the ruins to fight for him.
Resources referred to the resources needed to recruit various types of soldiers or directly recruit his own clan. They were the three basic resources of gold, wood, and ores. It could also be rare resources such as mercury, gems, crystals, and sulfur.
Treasures could be referred to as relics. Most of their attributes could be directly used on all the soldier types under their command.
Normal players could only choose one out of three at the beginning, but Lin Xiao had seven extra option cards from his teacher and brother-in-law. Other than the initial one, he could choose seven more times.
This was the extra resource given to him by his homeroom teacher. He could choose seven times at the beginning, which was quite terrifying.
Some people might think that Gold Thread did not seem to give him any resources and took away the Infinite Wish Technique after he was ranked on the Genius List. Even now, many of the resources given to him were originally from the school. It was too much of a scam to use the school's resources as a favor.
That was because many people's definition of resources and opportunities was simply and crudely giving good things. They thought that this was the only way to provide resources.
In fact, it was not just that. This was too basic. They did not know that the really good things could not be bought with money. For example, opportunities.
Indeed, most of the cards and relics that Lin Xiao had exchanged previously were from the school. However, if she had not given him the authority to exchange unlimited items, where would he have gotten so many relics and relics to transform into creation energy?
Also, with the talent of the protagonist, the school would definitely strongly support him.
This was not wrong. With his talent, the school would definitely vigorously cultivate him. However, there was a difference between cultivating in the name of the school and fully supporting Gold Thread.
Someone had to carry out the school's name. Their personal interests were not in common. How could Gold Thread, who had common interests, and another who only represented the school's support be the same?
For example, the six extra option cards that Gold Thread had given him. If Gold Thread did not have a beneficial relationship with him, as a homeroom teacher, she would definitely consider the other outstanding students in the class. Perhaps he could only get three cards.
If he took half of the six cards, who would dare say that he was not heavily cultivated?
This was the difference.
In addition, the value of the Infinite Wish Technique in the future should not be compared with the current value.
Another simple example. For example, if you were given an option in a game, you would be given a level one epic weapon that could be used unconditionally at the beginning, or you would be given a top-level godly equipment after you graduated.
Or you would be given 100 gold coins, a level one epic weapon, and a basic blue set of equipment at the beginning, and you would be given a top-level godly equipment after you graduated.
Which would you choose?
Of course, you would choose a level one epic weapon. Who knew how long it would take for you to graduate with a weapon? At the beginning, an epic weapon and a set of equipment were completely godly.
With these starting resources, you would grow rapidly. In the future, those top-level godly equipment would be easy to obtain.
Lin Xiao chose one out of three. He chose resources and received 10,000 gold coins, 100 pieces of wood and ore, and no rare resources.
Then, he used the seven option cards one by one. He chose three resource cards, two troop cards, and two treasure cards.
In the end, he received 40,000 gold coins, 400 pieces of wood and ore.
Two level one spearman cards, each able to summon 100 level one spearmen, required 1,000 gold coins to activate.
Two random treasure cards, each able to obtain a fist of strength, strength + 1, and physique + 1 from the ring of life.
After using the seven option cards, the mechanical voice sounded again.
"You will have one year to explore and develop in the world of ruins. Every three months, the strength of the creatures in the world of ruins will increase by 1. After one year, the treasure will be refreshed. Please pay attention to the location of the treasure.
"The initial summoning core is level zero, with a maximum population of 100. You will receive a certain amount of points for each battle. After accumulating enough points to level up, the core will receive a certain amount of strategic attributes, increasing the maximum number of troops that can be commanded. After one year, the points ranking will be activated.
"The sources of points include killing creatures in the ruins, destroying nests, killing bosses, defeating or killing other contestants, opening treasures, and so on. Points will be awarded depending on the difficulty.
"The competition will begin in ten seconds. Please be prepared!"
A countdown timer was ticking below.
Ten seconds passed in a flash. Accompanied by an invisible wave, Lin Xiao found that the fog around him was beginning to fade. Soon, it disappeared, revealing more ruins behind the fog. At the same time, the undead wandering back and forth in the ruins were also revealed.
Most of them were level one skeletons and a few level two zombies. There were no other undead for the time being.
He was standing in a safe zone for the time being. There were no undead around him. However, he could foresee that this place would not be safe soon. The undead who lost the fog would soon discover him.
Lin Xiao quickly summoned the core, a prismatic crystal. He spent 1,000 gold coins and chose to activate one of the spearman cards.
After spending the gold coins, a clear light flew out from the summoning core and turned into a human spearman.
This was a standard human spearman. All of its attributes were one point. It wore thin leather armor and held a wooden spear in its hand. Its face was expressionless. After being summoned, it stood there motionlessly.
The cards summoned were all alchemy puppets created by the Creator's method. They were not real living people.
After summoning a hundred spearmen in one breath, they filled up the ruins. Soon, they were discovered by the wandering undead nearby. A skeleton holding a broken bone sword creaked as it walked over.
When the skeleton was about ten meters away, a spearman suddenly raised its spear and Dashed through the gap between the skeleton's bones.
"True Reality!"
The spearman was slashed backward by the skeleton's backhand. It raised its spear and Dashed forward again.
Lin Xiao covered his face with his hand. It was a miss again.
He waved his hand. A dozen or so spearmen took the initiative to charge forward. This time, they were hit several times. The spear tip pierced through the skeleton's pale white bones. The skeleton swayed a few times and fell to the ground, its joints broken and bones scattered.
"Skeleton killed. Points + 0.1."
"Damn, there's still 0.1 points."
The prompt on the interface made him speechless.
If he wanted to upgrade the summoning core to level 1, he would need 10,000 points. In other words, he would have to kill around 100,000 low-level undead to level up.
This was only level 1. The number of points required to level up to level 2 and 3 would increase exponentially. The leveling speed would be frighteningly slow.
The commotion here attracted the attention of the surrounding undead. A dozen skeletons and two zombies staggered over.
Lin Xiao's mind moved. Half of the spearmen took the initiative to charge forward.
Controlling these alchemy puppets was very simple. He could use his mind to command them to attack, stay still, retreat, patrol, and other simple commands.
If he wanted more precise commands, he would have to spend a lot of effort to control these puppets one by one. Moreover, the spearmen were the lowest level puppets and had very slow reactions to commands.
Lin Xiao gave it a try and quickly gave up.
In any case, they were all cannon fodder. If they died, then so be it.
The undead wandering in the surroundings weren't high level. They were about the same level as the spearmen. However, the spearmen had Nie Yan's combat attribute. They were far stronger than the skeletons and zombies. As long as they were stabbed, they could easily break the skeleton's bones. Two shots could kill one. If they were stabbed in the spine or neck, they could be killed in one shot.
After giving a few simple commands to these spearmen, Lin Xiao began to size up the ruins.
He jumped to the top of a half-broken stone pillar and looked into the distance. A faint fog covered the distance. He could only see less than a hundred meters around him.
