Description: Hiss~ This creature is terrifying, it cannot be left alive, slurp~
"Five months, do you know how I spent the last five months? I almost died from exhaustion, and the only reason I'm still alive is that I'm not human," Qin Muye was almost unable to recover his strength.
During these five months, Qin Muye didn't even have his original 15-minute rest periods. He consumed a large amount of items that increased his knowledge attributes, not only perfecting the 6th-rank imp but also using Pure Yellow Spring Water and the Elf Queen’s profession voucher as materials to create a new skill. The Pure Soul skill was extremely powerful, directly elevating the quality of the profession. When a 5th-rank elemental imp hero transforms into a 6th-rank abyssal imp hero, this skill triggers, turning a rare profession into an epic one.
If a newly recruited abyssal imp reaches champion level, this skill will also trigger twice. First, it will elevate the potential of the champion level, turning a common profession into a rare one. Then, it will trigger Pure Soul, elevating the rare profession to an epic one.
"Fortunately, it's the imp's promotion, and the recruitment conditions are still gold coins."
Recruiting an abyssal imp costs 100,000 gold coins, which is relatively cheap compared to other 6th-rank units. At least, other 6th-rank units cannot be recruited with just gold coins.
"Other things aside, I have plenty of gold coins. But I doubt 7th-rank imps will cost a million gold coins each," Qin Muye glanced at his gold coin stash, which was still quite substantial.
When he initially built the floating city, gold coins were the least used resource, so he had been saving them up.
He still had a million imps under his command that needed to pay the difference to advance from 5th-rank to 6th-rank. The difference in gold coins needed to be paid in full for the promotion; otherwise, he wouldn't think that Lord Era would let him get away with such a bargain.
Upon careful consideration, 100,000 gold coins isn't really that much. If this were in the Magic Continent, and the natives were told that they could obtain a demon that could slay gods for 100,000 gold coins, who wouldn't go crazy?
However, without the proper equipment, slaying gods would still be quite a challenge. They would need to wear Gargoyle-level armor, and not only that, the imps now have Shadow Space, which allows them to pilot Golem-level mechs.
This would be a significant expense, giving Qin Muye a headache. Fortunately, over the past five months, he had scoured this time period of the SkyNet era for various resources, and he had just about enough.
This was not just about equipping Golem-level mechs; it also involved a large-scale construction project for the entire territory. With such a vast new territory, a large number of buildings needed to be constructed.
The original number of imps was insufficient, and the labor skeleton soldiers were even more inadequate.
The lack of population was the biggest issue. The imps could be recruited, which wasn't a problem, but the real issue was the labor. After all, imps were technical specialists and couldn't waste their talents on mundane and repetitive tasks.
Unfortunately, the Terminators, being robots, could not be resurrected into skeleton soldiers after death, which was a significant loss. Otherwise, Qin Muye wouldn't have lacked labor.
This led him to consider some unorthodox ideas, such as using human batteries. After all, the SkyNet era had been completely devastated by him, and leaving these people to fend for themselves would be a waste.
Saving their lives would offer Qin Muye no benefit. Could he gain their gratitude or loyalty? Not likely.
In the Matrix, these people lived in opulence and luxury. If they were truly freed, they might resent Qin Muye for shattering their illusions.
He always assumed the worst about unfamiliar people to avoid being betrayed.
So, it was better to turn them into skeleton soldiers for labor. After all, he was short on labor.
As a human-like abomination, he was relatively kind-hearted and couldn't stand to see people suffer, which was why he used skeleton soldiers. It certainly wasn't because skeleton soldiers didn't require wages, food, or rest, and worked tirelessly 24/7.
Since skeleton soldiers weren't human, they didn't have rights, and he didn't have to worry about condemnation. After all, skeleton soldiers were part of the Undead race, and only the Undead would condemn them. Unfortunately, neither the Sorcerer Dynasty nor the SkyNet era had any Undead.
"The territory will need at least another month to get on track. Now that my imps are upgraded and the Pure Yellow Spring Water has been improved, it's time to continue the project against SkyNet."
Qin Muye glanced at SkyNet's activities. He had already reached the third stage, but he hadn't claimed the blueprints for special and epic buildings. He had been busy with experiments for the past five months and hadn't paid attention to these. After claiming the blueprints, he learned them and then instructed the Black Hand to handle the construction.
"The fourth stage will likely involve destroying all of SkyNet's bases and external real-world forces."
"The fifth stage will be to destroy the Matrix world that SkyNet has built."
Qin Muye made a rough estimate. The first three stages were relatively easy to achieve, but the last two stages involving the granting of artifacts would be much more challenging.
One stage would involve destroying all the servers and equipment, and the other would involve wiping out the network itself.
"The Matrix world, I need to find a way to get it."
Neither of the two artifact rewards included the Matrix world. One was the Fire Seed, and the other was SkyNet itself. This made the Matrix world extremely valuable, otherwise, even "The Lord of the Ages" wouldn't part with it.
He suspected that the Matrix world could create a complete world structure. If he obtained it, it would be a significant boost for his future world-swallowing endeavors.
Moreover, SkyNet had been retreating on all fronts recently, leading him to suspect that they were planning something. Qin Muye didn't think SkyNet would give up; they would just change their strategy.
After all, this was a life-and-death struggle. If SkyNet truly abandoned the fight, they might as well delete their database and run. There was no point in hiding.
Hiding would only delay the inevitable, as Qin Muye's thorough methods would eventually find them, and it would give him more time to develop.
So, the lack of activity from the other side was a sign that they were planning something big, something that could potentially turn the tables on Qin Muye.
"I need to prepare in advance. If I let this favorable situation be reversed, I'll really have to call in the parents." Qin Muye narrowed his eyes, his mind beginning to review and analyze a large amount of data related to SkyNet for further experimentation.
