บท 21: Chapter 21: The Last Day of the Protection Period
After the test, Iron Armor Zombies' combat ability was nowhere near the level of those Black Iron rank monsters he had encountered before, but their defensive capabilities were a whole different story.
Fang Jie surrounded them with his Skull Soldiers and attacked, yet after a long time, they had only managed to scratch the surface.
Fang Jie finally realized why he had lost so many Skull Soldiers in the initial attack on the Underground Tomb—it was all because of the zombies' strong defense. Their combat power might be slightly lacking, but their protective ability was genuinely impressive.
"God, today is the last day, what shall I do? There are still things lurking around my territory."
"I feel like I'm about to become a big meal, can someone save me?"
"We are still okay, many of us are together, we should be able to protect ourselves, right? It's just that the protection fee is due soon, but I don't want to pay it, what should I do?"
"Not wanting to pay is not an option, a group of people together need a leader. Otherwise, if everyone does as they please, wouldn't that lead to chaos?"
"I can tell, big brother, you must be the leader of some team, huh? Are you missing any pendants for your leg?"
"Is everyone asking for help?" Fang Jie looked at the newly opened forum. Looking outside the protective circle, well, it's true that such dangerous places are not something people with weak forces could handle.
After opening the trade area, Fang Jie suddenly noticed someone was actually trading farmers.
"A farmer, with a fairly pleasant appearance, in exchange for five units of meat, meat only, no other food."
Fang Jie, somewhat puzzled, clicked on it, and then connected with the person named Fang Yun.
"Why are you selling farmers now, and for such a high price?"
"Humph, anyway, it's very difficult for me to keep my territory, I plan to leave after the protection period ends. I heard there's a nearby human town, I could blend in well there. Keeping these farmers only wastes food and won't be able to protect me."
"Then your price is too high, shouldn't one unit of food be enough to exchange for a farmer?"
"You don't know, huh? Most of the farmers are males, and females are rare, let alone good-looking ones. Mine is pretty much a beauty. If it weren't for the lack of time, I could definitely get a higher price."
Alright, this one does look rather fresh, especially after looking at Skeletons for such a long time.
"There are also some who can hardly hold out anymore, they will definitely dispose of the farmers cheaply and then run away."
Is it already so difficult? Fang Jie pondered thoughtfully; it seemed like this could be a big market. In light of this information, let's make the trade.
"I'll buy it, thanks for the info."
"Don't mention it, but you'd better be careful, if the loyalty isn't enough and you force it, the farmers will run away or even resist."
Fang Jie strongly suspected that this guy might have been attacked. But no matter, proceed with the transaction first. After the transaction, a female farmer appeared beside him with a dull gaze, as if she were a puppet doll.
Farmer Level 1: Level (Apprentice), female, loyalty 40
This loyalty rating, though uncertain of its specific details, seemed like she might run away at any moment. Fang Jie simply ordered some movements and eventually found that these low-level farmers were just like puppets.
At this moment, Fang Jie lost interest: "This is just like a bunch of robots. These guys really aren't picky. But this is better, for most people, Skeletons and farmers are pretty much the same."
Since these farmers weren't like real people, Fang Jie didn't mind at all and directly ordered the Skeletons to seize her to be thrown into the Skeleton Conversion Field as material.
Then, the farmer's loyalty started plummeting as she tried to resist, but she was completely powerless.
"Such a shame, such a nice face going to waste, not even as good-looking as those inflatable dolls."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Fang Jie's heart, and he casually cast Undead Splitting on his Skeleton Soldiers.
"What's going on, why has it changed?" Fang Jie suddenly realized that his Undead Splitting was different from before. Previously, his Undead Splitting could only be performed one by one, but just now, he discovered he could simultaneously apply it to a hundred.
Looking at the consumption, it was still a bit of Magic Value. Looking at his Talent Level, there was no change either.
"Could it be that this is the real power of Level 1 Undead Splitting? Before, because I hadn't changed profession, so it didn't show. Temporary skills also can't fully utilize my talent."
Originally, splitting one at a time was a great waste of time, but now, splitting a hundred at a time made it much faster.
What previously took time to split a hundred could now split ten thousand. The key was that the consumption was very low, still just a bit of Magic Value. If you could recover one Magic Value per second, it basically meant no consumption.
However, as the sky gradually became darker, there was no time to think about it, and it was time to start his own plan.
Then, Fang Jie put a thousand Skeleton Labor in the trade area, along with a combat ability video of a Skeleton Labor. "Trading Skeleton Labor, one for two farmers."
Instantly, the forum erupted.
"God, there are actually Skulls, and someone can control the Undead, is this the direction of development for the Undead Emperor?"
"Didn't you notice, that seems to be big shot Fang Jie."
"It's really him, no wonder he developed so quickly, so he's from the Undead Camp. Speaking of which, do you have other Camps? Mine is Human."
"I'm also..." "I'm also from the Human Camp."
A large group of people declared their factions, and Fang Jie felt a bit helpless; had the topic derailed so quickly?
So Fang Jie quickly said, "Don't think too much, when you upgrade your village, there will be a challenge. If you pass successfully, you can change Camp, but you will still be human, with no changes."
"That's good, that's good, I don't want to become some strange thing."
"Is there an Elf Camp? I love Elves the most."
"Angels are better, right? Is that Heaven Camp?"
Everybody started fantasizing. If it were so easy to get a strong Camp, others wouldn't bother doing anything. No matter what Camp, you have to develop from the beginning.
Like the Elemental Camp he'd seen initially, powerful, yes, but the initial Resources weren't something ordinary people could afford.
Besides, it was probably not a choice as to which Camp one might randomly get.
Fang Jie had not planned to continue hiding because of this. In the end, choosing the Undead will certainly be numerous, at least among Earth people; choosing the Undead Camp isn't considered too out of the ordinary.
