Chapter 39: 2nd Tier Units, Mana Sprites
Chapter 39: 2nd Tier Units, Mana Sprites
[Please note, one of your sprite workshops has undergone a subtle change.]
[One of your mana sprite workshops has changed, and the attributes and skills of the mana sprites produced have been enhanced.]
[Please name the unit and the building.]
[You have obtained a new building blueprint: unnamed unit building.]
[Please note, this unit building is a 2nd tier unit building, and you cannot use it.]
“???”
“Why? I worked so hard to modify the unit building, and now you’re telling me I can’t recruit from it?”
Qin Muye had originally planned to use the 2nd tier Bloodthirsty Sprites to wreak havoc, but suddenly being told he couldn’t use them was just ridiculous.
If he couldn’t use the unit building he built with the blueprint, he could understand, but he couldn’t accept this at all.
However, Qin Muye’s refusal to accept it couldn’t change the outcome. He could only grumble and rename the 2nd tier sprite to Mana Sprite, and the unit building to Mana Sprite Factory.
[Unit Name: Mana Sprite]
[Unit Tier: 2nd]
[Health: 50/50]
[Mana: 50/50]
[Attack: 17]
[Defense: 17]
[Skills]
[Lucky Garden: Luck +1]
[Mana Constitution: Attack +7, Defense +7]
[Mana Wisdom: Mana +50]
[Elemental Shield: Consumes mana to form an elemental shield, 1 point of mana negates 1 point of damage]
[Mana Protection: Reduces damage taken by 5%]
[Blood Frenzy: Attack +1 for each point of health lost]
[Grim Aura: All enemies within 10 meters lose 1 attack and 1 defense per minute, stacking up to 3 times]
[Loyal Taming: Morale never falters]
[Description: A new product from a blessed lord, with a unique unit inclination and whimsical style, perfectly utilizing the opportunities between the rules. Perhaps one day, we might see sprites that rival deities?]
Qin Muye looked at his Mana Sprites. Although he found the description increasingly casual, that wasn’t the key issue. The key was that the 2nd tier Mana Sprites perfectly suited his needs and still had room for improvement.
There were roughly two more opportunities to enhance them at the 2nd tier.
In other words, the current Mana Sprites were at the early 2nd tier, with mid and late 2nd tier stages to follow. Whether there were further divisions like Perfect 2nd Tier, Great Perfect 2nd Tier, or Near 3rd Tier would depend on Qin Muye’s knowledge.
If he had sufficient knowledge, there wouldn’t be so many divisions. If not, he would have to grind slowly, hence the numerous divisions.
“Deities? Are there deities in this world?” Qin Muye looked at the description, wondering if this was a bit concerning.
He knew nothing about the magical continent. He had only encountered four natives, and aside from the Wisdom Tree and Morick, the other two were enemies he had eliminated.
Thus, he had no idea about the background of the magical continent.
Previously, he could have bought information from Morick, the traveling merchant, but he lacked the gold. As for inquiring, it was out of the question. The merchant’s attitude made it clear that buying things was already a hassle, let alone asking questions.
Back then, Qin Muye didn’t have the strength to do anything about it. Otherwise, he would have shown the merchant what tariffs were, stripping him of his wealth.
“I really hope I can encounter the Wisdom Tree again, even a projection would do.” Qin Muye missed the wise being. If he met him again, he would ensure the Wisdom Tree was planted in front of his mage tower.
As long as he didn’t complete his task or finish his visit, he could exploit the bug and make the Wisdom Tree a treasure in his territory.
Thinking of the Wisdom Tree leaving his domain? Dream on.
“Master, has the 2nd tier modification been completed?” The trained Bloodthirsty Sprite looked at Qin Muye eagerly, clearly eager to try it out.
Hearing this, Qin Muye’s face fell. “No, I’ve been tricked. I can’t use it until the territory reaches 2nd tier, and I’m still one level away.”
The Bloodthirsty Sprite had brought up the exact issue he was trying to avoid. If there were no problems, Qin Muye wouldn’t be idly reading books; he would have already called them over to level up. He wasn’t short of gold.
Currently, the most abundant resource he had was gold. Due to the underdeveloped commerce, his gold could only be used to recruit units and buy daily necessities from the store.
As for recruiting more units, he had no intention of doing so. Recruiting ordinary mana sprites at this stage would only result in 100 mana sprites consuming 900 units of food daily. Training them into Bloodthirsty Sprites would increase the daily food consumption to 1200 units, turning his daily food surplus into a deficit that he couldn’t sustain.
If he wanted to recruit more units, he would need to continue developing his farmland or find other ways to increase food production.
Previously, due to the lack of combat strength, he had taken this desperate measure. Now that his combat strength was secured, it would be better to wait until the territory reached 2nd tier and directly recruit 2nd tier Mana Sprites.
“2nd tier? So, we just need to defeat the monster siege tomorrow, right?” The Bloodthirsty Sprite said with a hint of excitement.
Currently, Qin Muye was level 9, the Bloodthirsty Sprite was level 8, and Xieyu was level 3. Even though Qin Muye was the highest level, he was actually the weakest, still possessing only ordinary human strength, just with a sharper mind.
His strategic command skills weren’t exceptional; they were more focused on learning and research, making him more of a support character compared to Xieyu.
If he were to be ranked by lord strength, Qin Muye believed he would be at the bottom, as not everyone would choose a completely non-combat profession like his.
However, if someone saw his situation, they would likely deduce the rise of his territory, given the unique units and the nature of his profession. The connection would be easy to make.
Qin Muye didn’t intend to hide it, as he was in a remote area with no lords or natives around.
He also grumbled internally about the promised increase in native appearances.
Well, it wasn’t a lie. He had encountered two undead heroes and expected to meet two more in the next two days, which was indeed an increase compared to the previous week, doubling the rate.
The natives, however, were far from friendly, but Qin Muye wasn’t friendly either.
After the last wave of the monster siege the day after tomorrow, Qin Muye would have the Bloodthirsty Sprite lead the Bloodthirsty Sprites to find the headquarters of the undead forces and destroy them.
As for the possibility of a powerful backing? That wasn’t his concern. Given the current situation, it could be described as a deep-seated enmity. Qin Muye had eliminated so many of their troops and heroes; they wouldn’t let it go easily.
