Chapter 37: Don’t Open the Treasure Chest if You’re Unlucky!
Qin Muye chose the Intermediate Mysticism Spell and casually added his 1 free attribute point to Knowledge.
This time, it wasn't just Qin Muye who leveled up to level 9; Moxue also leveled up to level 8 and learned the Primary Pathfinding Spell.
[Primary Pathfinding Spell: Reduces the impact of terrain on movement by 10%]
This would further reduce his movement costs. If he could also learn the Primary Logistics Spell, it would be even better.
Yeyu, on the other hand, directly leveled up to level 3, instantly upgrading his Primary Understanding of Death, Primary Mysticism Spell, and Primary Magic to Intermediate levels.
[Intermediate Understanding of Death: Increases the power of death magic by 2 and reduces mana consumption by 2]
He was only 600 experience points away from level 4, which was good news.
Yeyu's Strength attribute had now reached 50 points, which was quite terrifying.
It was no wonder he was a hidden class with maxed-out attributes.
“My leveling speed is really fast. I used to be far behind Moxue, but now I’ve surpassed him by a level.”
Moxue and Yeyu only gained 10,000 experience points from this battle, but Qin Muye was different. He gained an additional 65% on top of the 10,000 points.
“A 2nd-tier unit is worth 30 experience points, which is quite low. A 1st-tier elite unit is worth 20 points.” There was no need to calculate; the 30,000 experience points were divided among the three, so 1,000 zombies would naturally be worth 30 points each.
After a quick look at his points, Qin Muye began to exchange the building blueprints he hadn’t completed before.
This time, he prioritized food-producing building blueprints, followed by wood and ore, and finally gold.
Surprisingly, the points he had accumulated from two waves were enough to exchange all the remaining resource-producing building blueprints he hadn’t completed.
After that, he worked overtime to learn and construct them all.
For the basic buildings, he followed the supply chain and exchanged blueprints for dwellings, wells, and other structures.
“Money spent brings peace.”
Qin Muye knew the importance of these buildings, so he exchanged them all.
With Yeyu now in his arsenal, the upcoming monster siege event was no longer a concern. By tomorrow morning, 400 Bloodthirsty Goblins would be born. With the Bloodthirsty Goblins, Moxue, and Yeyu, there shouldn’t be much of a problem unless 3rd-tier units appear. Even if they do, Yeyu’s negative status effects can significantly reduce their strength.”
However, his current overall strength was only at the 1st-tier Champion level. 2nd-tier units and heroes were the upper limit, and there was a high chance that even 2nd-tier elite units might not appear.
So, he wasn’t worried at all.
External threats were no longer a concern, but internal issues needed to be addressed.
If next week’s event was as unpleasant as this one, and he didn’t take the opportunity to improve the various infrastructure in his territory, these problems would gradually accumulate and eventually become fatal.
“Moxue, when the time comes, free up 50 training spots for Yeyu and let him train the first batch of elite goblins,” Qin Muye said to Moxue.
He then explained to Yeyu, “Don’t complain about the small number. Your dedicated units are likely to be support types. Train 50 to test the waters first. When the number of units increases next time, I’ll give you more. Currently, we need frontline combat power. Your support is essential, but there must be a certain ratio of concession.”
“However, if the attributes are good, I’ll have Moxue free up more spots for you later.”
Moxue and Yeyu had no objections to Qin Muye’s decision.
Qin Muye’s reasoning made sense: without enough Bloodthirsty Goblins, what use would there be for more support units, as they can’t fight.
After returning, Moxue went to train the units, and Yeyu went to select 50 Magic Goblins.
After arranging the tasks, Qin Muye opened the Bronze Treasure Chest.
[You opened the Bronze Treasure Chest (Hero) and obtained]
[Death Apprentice Spellbook]
[Primary Treasure: Wood Cart]
[Primary Treasure: Gold Bag]
[Primary Treasure: Seed Bag]
[Primary Treasure: Spring Eye]
He obtained five treasures. The first, the Death Apprentice Spellbook, was quite disappointing, being just the next level up from a primary death magic spellbook. This was a clear sign of bad luck.
“This Bronze Treasure Chest is clearly less valuable than the last Black Iron Treasure Chest. Just the Necromancer’s Advanced Spellbook and the Primary Death Magic Spellbook could easily outshine these items.”
Qin Muye could only attribute it to his bad luck.
“Maybe next time, I should let Moxue or Yeyu open it? After all, they have 1 point of luck by default?” Qin Muye wondered if he should let the goblins try, perhaps even cultivate a high-luck goblin as a mascot.
“Well, I’ll consider that later,”
For the high-luck goblin research, he would need Garden Sprites, as this ability comes from Garden Sprites.
The remaining four treasures were all resource-producing types.
The Wood Cart increases 10 units of wood daily, and the Gold Bag provides 500 gold coins.
The Seed Bag was most to Qin Muye’s liking, producing 100 food seeds daily, though the seeds are random.
The Spring Eye increases 10 units of food daily, which Qin Muye thought was probably just clear water, the least valuable of the four. Since he had already exchanged for a well blueprint, he didn’t need this.
After a quick glance, he put all the treasures into the resource storage, as they would take effect without needing placed. Even the smallest benefit was better than nothing.
“Reset the points, save the resources, and later, upgrade all buildings to LV3.”
With two days left, the monster siege rewards would provide 40,000 and 50,000 resources, totaling 90,000. If needed, he could exchange more from the points store.
Once all buildings were LV3, he would upgrade his territory to 2nd-tier.
For now, he wasn’t in a rush to upgrade his territory.
Of course, he could, but he needed to be level 10 first, which he was close to achieving.

Of course, he could, but he needed to be level 10 first, which he was close to achieving.
One thought of levels made him feel a bit strange. How did the people on the leaderboard manage to level up so quickly?
He knew they were grinding monsters, but how did they do it?
In the early stages, wild monsters would run out once killed, so where did they find so many monsters?
This wasn’t about whether they could defeat the monsters, but about the issue of movement and finding the monsters.
If Moxue were to kill monsters nonstop, his level could easily be 30+, but there weren’t that many monsters available.
This was what puzzled Qin Muye.
