SWNOVELXO Chapter 3
The undead crystal emitted a green light, condensing into ten humanoid skeletons.
The bones of the ten skeletons made a creaking sound as they all tilted their heads. After seeing Bai Yu before them, they all knelt down one after another in allegiance to her.
“Why do they look like they’re kind of dumb?”
“1% is such a high rate yet I still couldn’t even pull any other units!”
Bai Yu didn’t expect that despite being so beautiful, her luck was actually so cursed. For the old Bai Yu, she was an RNG god that could even one tap 1% chance item enchants.
Looking at the ten skeleton units before her, they were all holding a round bone shield and an arm long bone sword.
“Hey, can you guys talk?”
Bai Yu curiously asked.
When the ten skeletons heard Bai Yu’s question, they lifted their empty skulls. Their little heads looked greatly confused.
“Fine, I expected too much…”
Bai Yu let out a sigh, showing an ‘as expected’ expression.
“Oh, I can view their information!”
Bai Yu immediately tapped the air with her hand.
The ten skeleton’s basic information appeared.
[Skeleton Soldier]
[Unit Type: Undead]
[Loyalty: 100% (Will never betray you)]
[Unit Tier: Normal]
[Level: lv 1 (Can be improved with kills)]
[Health: None (Undead trait, cannot die unless the soul’s fire is extinguished)]
[Mana: 0]
[Strength: 6]
[Stamina: None]
[Agility: 5]
[Growth Limit: Commander Tier]
[Tip: Unit tiers are Normal, Commander, King, Emperor, Sovereign, Monarch, Divine]
[Undead Crystal is recharging (finishes charging every midnight)]
“Oh~ I understand now, isn’t this just like those old third rate games, but shouldn't ‘None’ and ‘0’ be the same?”
“Wait, no, ‘None’ should mean no limit, since an undead was something without life or stamina. As for ‘0’, it should mean that a normal skeleton couldn’t use magic, therefore it’s 0.”
Bai Yu also somewhat knew these basic mechanics. After all, who hasn’t played a few online games before.
Growth limit was just the strongest the unit could get.
As for the ranks, the tip already laid it out quite clearly.
A normal skeleton soldier could at most grow to a commander tier.
A normal man’s strength or agility was around 3-4, at most 5.
Looking at it like this, these lowest rank skeletons were not that bad, they were at least unkillable.
Was what Bai Yu thought.
“Wu wu wu, I’m so good at comforting myself.”
Bai Yu ignored those dumb looking skeletons for now. Since there were system alerts, then she’ll take a look at what everything else can do first.
Bai Yu went inside the castle and took a look at the castle’s info.
[Castle Level: lv 1]
[Health: 3k (Invincible)]
[Territory Size: 500m Radius]
[Abilities: Within the territory, the castle lord has the ability to see everything as well as the ability to dismantle and retrieve items from the storage.]
[Special Buildings: None]
[Upgrade Requirements: 1k Wood, 500 Stone]
“You need wood and stone to upgrade the castle, and then magic crystals and spirit cores for the barracks. Wood and stone sound easy enough, but what the hell are magic crystals and spirit cores?”
Bai Yu thought about it for a bit, then remembered an even bigger problem.
“This castle doesn’t seem to have any food, there’s no way the outside only has slimes and whatever garbage monsters right?”
“Ugh, no way I’m eating that stuff!”
“Hey, you group of idiots, stop slacking around, go out and hunt!”
Bai Yu said towards the skeletons outside the castle.
The ten skeletons looked at each other, then looked at her, but were still completely clueless what the command Bai Yu gave them meant.
“It means to go out and kill stuff, god.”
This time, the skeletons understood. With their 5 agility speed, they started heading out.
After familiarizing herself with the castle and the crystal’s functions, she planned to take a look at other functions. In the castle was a central system that could directly display everything. This way, she wouldn’t need to run all the way outside to summon soldiers every time.
It was split into the five sections [Castle], [Barracks Crystal], [World Chat], [Multi Race Trading Hub], and [My Profile].
Multi Race Trading Hub, this was very easy to understand, it was just a market to trade. Bai Yu opened it and as expected, since everyone had just been transmigrated to this new fantasy continent, it was basically empty.
Bai Yu then opened [My Profile], which further contained [My Stats] and [Storage].
Bai Yu tapped open the my stats page.
[Lord: Bai Yu]
[Power: lv 1 Normal (Can increase from self and soldier kills)]
[Territory Rank: lv 1 Starter Castle]
[Unit Type: Undead]
[Equipment: Deathscythe of Judgement]
[Health: 100]
[Mana: 20]
[Strength: 2]
[Stamina: 1]
[Agility: 2]
“I’m actually this weak!”
Bai Yu found it slightly hard to believe.
Afterwards, Bai Yu tapped open [Storage],
[Wood: 0]
[Strone: 0]
[Magic Crystal: 0]
[Spirit Core: 0]
Alright, completely empty. Just like the strategy games Bai Yu used to play in the other world. Bai Yu understood very quickly.
Since upgrading the castle was so easy, requiring just some wood and stone, so then based on the online games Bai Yu has previously played, it would definitely add in things like copper or silver ingots in the future.
Bai Yu also saw the lord name on the top left corner of the panel, it was an anonymous name called Undead Lord.
Bai Yu tried tapping on it and found she could actually change the name!
Forget these this Lord that Lord, Bai Yu directly changed it to her own better name, called: Krabby Patty.
Bai Yu opened up the world chat and the fast scrolling chat caused her eyes to blur. You couldn’t see anything. The bottom left corner even showed the world chat had been separated into 1000 channels, and the one Bai Yu was on was channel 666.
You must know that there are multiple billions of people in the world. Even if it was split into 1000 channels, the numbers were still terrifying.
The messages flew by way too fast, thankfully there was a pause button on the side. Bai Yu pressed the pause button and only then was she finally able to read the world chat’s gossip.
[Basketball Pigeon]: “Guys, what unit type is everyone?”
[Knife Slashed Butt]: “Why did I get lv 1 slimes, all they do is bounce. I’m going to complain, I want to reroll!”
[Sheep Hero]: “Hahaha, I got giant titans, free win!”
[I Love The Warden]: “The unit type I got is night elves, they’re both capable and doable!”
[Suspenders Boy]: “Holy fuck, control yourself guy above, I’m so jealous.”
“Guy above +1”
“+2”
…
“+”
…
Seeing the world chat, Bai Yu realized that the gap was actually so big. Wasn’t it said to be a mixed race free for all that was both fair and equal.
Some people started with flying dragons, while others started with peasants.
Sigh… this, so it’s really all just luck then.
The newbie protection period was seven days, who knows how many people will be eliminated by the monster wave after.
Start with a castle, then scavenge for equipment.
Bai Yu already understood most of the basics. Obviously, the so called protection period was a grace period for us to develop.
Even if you did nothing and just holed up in the castle, forget the monster wave after the seven day protection period, you would probably just starve to death first.
