67: Chapter 67 [+17 Enhancement Successful]

After reading the description, Xu Qin immediately thought of Shadow.

It didn't have Command ability and couldn't lead troops, but its individual combat power was ridiculously strong.

"Not bad, 66 more super soldiers..."

Xu Qin looked at the task bar and rubbed his chin, saying,

"Although the quality definitely can't compare to Shadow, it's enough."

He walked out of the Lords Hall and came to the Combat Readiness Platform at the bottom of the Floating City.

In the deepest part of the Combat Readiness Platform, there was a small Resurrection Platform.

It was specifically used for converting alien corpses or skeletons.

This function was previously in the Graveyard.

It was just that after the Graveyard upgraded to level five and became a Floating City,

the Resurrection Platform was relocated here.

Xu Qin placed the sixty-six skeletons into the grooves one by one.

Gloomy blue soul energy surged out from the Resurrection Platform, enveloping the skeletons.

Three minutes later.

66 skeletons stood up from the Resurrection Platform.

Earth Spirits hero, holding a stone hammer.

Troglodyte hero, carrying mining tools on its back.

Orc hero, thick-waisted and broad-shouldered, with fangs exposed.

Xu Qin opened the panels one by one.

Sure enough, just like Shadow, it didn't have the [Command] ability and couldn't lead troops.

But the attributes were higher than regular units, and they also retained skills.

The Earth Spirits hero's skill was [Rock Armor],

the Troglodyte's was [Tunnel Raid],

and the Orc's was [Berserk Charge].

They were all decent skills.

"Go, follow the gathering team to work."

Xu Qin ordered,

"Move ore, chop wood, transport stone, do whatever."

66 new heroes nodded and turned to walk towards the forest.

Xu Qin watched their backs, pondering in his heart.

These super soldiers had combat power equivalent to a dozen small elite squads.

Although they couldn't lead troops, they were sufficient for serving as vanguards or conducting sneak attacks.

The most critical thing was that there were enough resurrection coins!

As long as there were enough skeletons and soul energy, they could be pulled up at any time.

After finishing this, Xu Qin returned to the Watchtower and opened the Bull Battle King's hero panel.

[Bull · Undead Bull Battle King]

[Level: 18]

[Equipment Slot: Rock-Crushing Armor Set (3/3 activated), Weapon Slot (None)]

Xu Qin opened the item inventory and found that purple halberd.

[soul-eater halberd · Epic]

[Attack Bonus: +32]

[Effect 1: Soul-Eating]

[Effect 2: Armor-Shattering Strike]

[Effect 3: Battle Intent]

He clicked [Equip] and placed the halberd into the Bull Battle King's weapon slot.

The next second, Xu Qin opened the [Enhance] interface again.

[soul-eater halberd Enhancement Requirements]

[+1: Skeleton × 500, Soul Energy × 1000, Magic Crystal Fragment × 50]

[+2: Skeleton × 1000, Soul Energy × 2000, Magic Crystal Fragment × 100]

[...]

[+10: Skeleton × 5000, Soul Energy × 10000, Magic Crystal Fragment × 500, elite soul core × 20]

The enhancement list was very long, extending all the way to +50.

The consumption increased with each level, but the attribute boost also skyrocketed accordingly.

Xu Qin opened the resource reserves in the treasury.

Hmm, resources were sufficient.

"Start smashing!"

He didn't hesitate and clicked [+1].

[Enhancement Successful!]

[Attack Bonus: +33]

Xu Qin: "Plus one? That's it?"

Again.

[+2]

[+3]

...

The numbers climbed up bit by bit, and Xu Qin's fingers tapped faster and faster.

Every time he clicked, the resource numbers dropped by a chunk.

But the halberd's attack bonus was also steadily increasing.

[+8: +460]

[+9: +550]

[+10]

[Enhancement Successful!]

The panel value format suddenly changed.

[Attack Bonus: +650 (Attack Power +1%)]

[Prompt: After enhancing the weapon to this stage, the attack bonus enters a 'Base Value + Percentage Stacking' dual-track mode. The percentage value will increase with subsequent enhancements.]

Xu Qin's fingers paused.

"Dual-track mode?"

+650 Attack Bonus.

There was also a percentage bonus attached afterward.

This thing, is it exponential growth?

"Continue."

[+11]

[Attack Bonus: +705 (Attack Power +1.1%)]

...

[+14: +1270 (+1.4%)]

[+15]

[Enhancement Successful!]

[Attack Bonus: +1650 (Attack Power +1.5%)]

[Effect 1: Blood-Eating +15 (Each attack hitting a living target absorbs 1% of the damage value and converts it into HP.)]

[Effect 2: Armor-Shattering Strike +15 (When a heavy strike hits, ignores 45% of the target's physical defense.)]

[Effect 3: Battle Intent +15 (For every unit killed by the wearer, Attack Power is temporarily increased by 1%, stacking up to 45 times, reset after battle.)]

[Effect 4 (New): Soul-Eating Resonance +5 (When the wearer's HP is below 50%, each attack additionally deals Shadow damage equal to 2% of the target's current HP (capped at 50% of current Attack Bonus for Boss-level units)).]

After reading these four effects, Xu Qin looked back at the +1650 attack bonus number.

"Bull is fierce now~" Xu Qin nodded.

He continued to scroll down the enhancement list.

+16 required 30 elite soul cores,

+17 required 40.

Xu Qin looked at the remaining soul cores in the treasury, there were still over ninety.

"Smash!"

"Smash to +17."

No choice, enhancing is just easy to get carried away with.

[+16: Enhancement Successful]

[Attack Bonus: +2150 (Attack Power +1.6%)]

[+17: Enhancement Successful]

[Attack Bonus: +3050 (Attack Power +1.7%)]

Only then did Xu Qin stop.

He remembered the level one data of that Dragon Race lord.

Attack power 1888, just thinking about it was exaggerated.

"Develop a bit more." Xu Qin muttered to himself,

"Perhaps I will be able to go head-to-head with the Dragon Race."

At this moment, it was late at night.

Master Xu, having worked hard all night, decided to return to the Lords Hall to sleep.

After all, the work done tonight was not little.

Xu Qin sat down on the animal skin stone bed, feeling his bones creaking all over.

"Rest a while."

He took out a piece of roasted meat, and while chewing, opened the command panel.

[Lords Hall upgrade countdown: 47 hours 32 minutes.]

The army outside was gathering, all areas were operating normally, and there was nothing he needed to worry about for now.

After getting full, Xu Qin didn't feel too sleepy yet.

Just right, let's see how the human race is doing before going to sleep.

He opened the human communication channel.

The moment the light screen expanded,

the spamming chat history directly stunned Xu Qin.

The message spamming speed was more than ten times faster than when he last looked.

And the content...

Barton · Dwarf Race: "@Aileen, stop pretending, your Archer was wandering outside my mining area all morning, do you take me for blind?"

Aileen · Elf Race: "Barton, get this straight, that was my scout patrolling, your mining area doesn't have your name written on it."

Barton · Dwarf Race: "Heh, patrolling? Patrolling to my doorstep and even aiming a bow at my miners?"

Li Wei · Human Race: "You two, calm down, we are all allies, let's talk things out."

Barton · Dwarf Race: "Allies? The alliance agreement says trade intercommunication, not letting her people monitor me on the periphery of my territory!"

Aileen · Elf Race: "Monitoring? Do you have persecution mania? I was just expanding the map and happened to pass by!"

Barton · Dwarf Race: "Passed by three times? Every time bringing twenty Archers to pass by?"

Xu Qin raised his eyebrows.

Yo, there's a good show to watch.

He scrolled down.

Li Wei · Human Race: "Forget it, forget it, can everyone say less? This is a public channel. Let's solve the serious business first. The issue of who the iron ore belt in the north belongs to hasn't been decided yet."
