章節 28: Reclamation Tool! Earth Rune Mud Monster!
編輯: Atlas Studios
You can take 70% while I get 30%!
Jessica took the initiative to offer a seemingly disadvantageous split.
As the technical expert, she actually took the initiative to ask for only 30%!
Such people were truly rare.
At the very least, Rene had never seen one before.
Especially in a world that worked hard to survive, it was rare for people to give up on benefits.
However, this was exactly why Jessica was brilliant.
She valued benefits, but she had a long-term vision.
Although she did not receive much benefits this time, she made good use of this opportunity to form a good working relationship with Rene.
If there were more opportunities in the future, he believed that the other party would think of him.
It was obvious that Jessica was a smart woman.
Rene loved dealing with people like her.
The smarter one was, the more they would understand the situation.
As for why Rene didn't want her to give him the blueprint, let him produce them, and then give them to Jessica?
This was because the buildings in the territory were limited.
The number of technicians that could be recruited in the buildings was very limited.
Rene had to save space for his machete production.
At this stage, machetes were obviously more valuable than drinking water, and the output was also higher.
After all, the blueprint in Jessica's hands was only a "Simple Water Condensing Machine" and was incomplete. The production of drinking water should not be high.
Thus, Rene gave the production assignment to Jessica, while also hinting that he trusted her enough.
...
"Four blacksmiths should be enough for Jessica."
Rene did not touch the blacksmiths in his territory.
After that, he would recruit a few blacksmiths in the Level 2 Guild and trade them with Jessica.
However, in order to complete the transaction, Rene had to increase his level.
He had already reached the upper limit of his eligibility to trade for soldiers this week. If he wanted to trade, he could only increase his level.
This matter would be carried out in the afternoon.
Rene had other plans for the morning.
He had to deal with the big and small matters in his territory.
The first thing was that after the Overlord's Hall reached Level 2, the buildings in the territory could also be upgraded to Level 2.
Since he was working with Jessica, the first building to be upgraded would definitely be [Elementary Guild].
"Open the construction page."
Rene checked the upgrade requirements for the level 2 building.
A level 1 Elementary Guild only required 100 wood and 100 stones.
However, he needed 200 wood and 200 stones to level up to Level 2!
Maybe that meant nothing to Rene.
However, for other players, this multiplied demand for resources was a terrifying consumption.
"Let's arrange for someone to build it first."
During the time they were chatting, three machetes had been sold in the blacksmith shop, allowing the warehouse to store 60 wood and 60 stones.
With these resources, the construction workers could start working.
After making arrangements, Rene left the workshop area temporarily.
Finally, he arrived at the plaza in the center of the territory.
A group of ordinary slime monsters surrounded him.
"I'll use this time to study the Slimes."
"These little guys are amazing resource generators!"
The morning plan that Rene had given himself was to deal with the big and small matters in the territory, so he basically wouldn't go out.
This was a good time to study and edit monsters.
Coincidentally, nine out of the ten slimes he had just purchased had not been edited.
He could catch a few to study the characteristics of the slime.
For example, the Mud Monster from before.
The characteristics of it needed to be carefully explored.
The two important questions in Rene's heart had to be answered.
(1) Do Mud Monsters really need to swallow soil to speed up their recovery?
(2) Can one use earth runes to strengthen the Mud Monster's ability to create fertile soil?
Rene found both ideas interesting, especially the latter.
The Water Rune Slimes obtained by the editor previously produced more nutritious water than ordinary slimes. It could even strengthen one's perception of water elements.
According to this effect, the earth runes should be quite effective.
Assuming it could make the soil more nutritious…
In that case, all the plants planted in the future would grow faster, better, and produce more yield!
The more Rene thought about it, the more excited he became. In the end, he could not help but test it out with a slime.
He would start with ordinary mud.
Then, he would use black soil that was more nutritious.
After the synthesis, he carefully recorded the differences between the soil they produced and compared it with the previous records.
"As I thought."
"When I use different mud, after editing, the product will be different."
Rene jotted all his insights into a memo of the system.
Unfortunately, the test had a huge drawback, which was that the level of the appraisal technique was too low, so it was impossible to detect the soil situation that was not too different.
Only the huge difference between barren and fertile soil could clearly be seen.
"I don't know if earth runes can bring surprises."
Reyn turned his attention to the earth runes.
When he was exploring the surrounding tree holes and caves, he happened to obtain a water rune and an earth rune.
The water rune had already been used as materials for editing.
Now it was the earth rune's turn.
While thinking, Rene opened the Military Unit Editor.
He directly placed the slime into the first option, grabbed a handful of fertile soil, and placed it in the second slot. Then, he placed the most crucial earth rune into the third slot.
Soon, the editorial formula appeared.
[Formula: (Slime) + (Fertile Soil) + (Earth Rune) = (???)]
[The fee is 50 silver coins. Would you like to confirm this edit?]
It was the same price as synthesizing the water rune.
It seemed like there was still hope.
"Yes." Rene immediately made a decision.
A familiar scene appeared. The two materials turned into rays of light and fused together. Finally, they flowed through the formula into the last grid.
Ding!
[Edited successfully!]
[Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Earth Rune Mud Monster!]
It was indeed that name.
It was exactly as Rene had expected.
He just didn't know if the final outcome would be as smooth as it was now.
Rene watched as the light in front of him faded and a creature covered in black appeared in front of him. This Mud Monster looked as ugly as before. It seemed the earth rune did not improve its appearance.
Fortunately, the smell on its body had improved, and it was no longer as disgusting as before.
As for attributes?
Rene immediately opened its panel, but the next second, his eyes lit up.
