252: Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals

Chapter 252: Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals

Yes, this update of the 'Three Gods Version' has subtly enhanced the overall strength of Spirit Masters.

After all, one can now acquire scrolls that are superior to previous ones, at the price of a normal scroll.

As a result, many people online are thanking the Three Gods.

In any case, this is undoubtedly good news for human society.

The only ones suffering are the former low-to-mid-tier Scroll Masters and Family powers; they used to easily profit from inexpensive lower-tier scrolls, but now they have to sell costly higher-tier scrolls as lower-tier ones.

Initially, these Scroll Masters tried to raise prices, but unfortunately, they couldn't sell anything.

Instead, high-quality scrolls from independent Scroll Masters began to gradually enter the public eye.

A large number of scroll actual combat videos flooded the internet all at once.

And a trend of discovering various high-quality, potential scrolls formed online.

Naturally, the Netherworld series was among them.

Just recently, a blogger from a first-tier city somehow acquired a [Bronze scroll - Fish Gill General] and conducted a detailed actual combat test in a local Elementary Mysterious Abyss copy.

As soon as the review video was released, it immediately sparked heated discussion in the area.

"Holy crap, is this real or fake? A three-star Bronze scroll has this kind of combat power?"

"Easily handling a Level 6 bizarre monster? It feels like the star quality ratio is almost three to one."

"Crucially, it can also resolve the Undying Soul characteristic of low-level small monsters in a unique way."

"Good heavens~ What kind of divine scroll is this?"

"Could it be a new product from a Prodigy of a prominent Family in the Undead Dojo?"

"The blogger has good connections. Recently, the prices of Undead Dojo series scrolls have skyrocketed, making them impossible to buy."

"Haven't you noticed that this Fish Gill General also incorporates the power concept of the Ocean-type?"

"Quick, quick, quick, I need the link!"

Soon after, at the strong request of netizens, the blogger released the link for [Fish Gill General].

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"Underworld Club? Never heard of it?"

"According to the information, it seems to be a newly emerging Gold Club from Tianfeng Province."

"Haha, another niche high-quality scroll? I like it~!"

"I just don't know about the price? If the price is reasonable, I'd be willing to try one."

"I just went to the Underworld Club's official website, and, well... I can only say I'm deeply shocked."

"What the heck? Selling scrolls through a lottery gacha System?"

"Although there are guaranteed pulls and a trading System, isn't this operation a bit too bizarre?"

"The key is that some people are actually willing to spend money."

"I see that the Club's community is mostly local netizens from Tianfeng Province. The scroll's reviews are basically fine, but there's widespread criticism of the Scroll Master and the gacha System."

"Is anyone brave enough to try it out?"

"A ten-pull is only 1,600 spirit crystals. I'll do it~ I'll do it~!"

"The person above is awesome. Waiting online for the results."

Soon, the netizen above posted the gacha results: "It seems pretty good. It's a guaranteed pull for ten, so the price isn't expensive. Unfortunately, it's not Fish Gill General, but the General Leopard Tail from the same series. I don't know if it's any good."

As soon as the news broke, the blogger received a private message in the backend.

"Hello, brother. After the scroll arrives, could you let me help you review it?"

In fact, the moment he finished testing Fish Gill General, he already realized that his video was going to go viral.

Having personally tested it, he naturally understood how excellent the [Fish Gill General] scroll was. Unfortunately, after emptying his savings last night, he only barely managed to gather enough to get a Silver scroll of Fish Gill General.

"No problem, no problem. I'm an old fan of yours. Just let me show my face on camera then."

"Thank you so much, brother. Add me: *******"

...In Yaoyang City, North District, inside a small villa.

Wu Xian naturally also noticed this recent trend. After completing the Seven Mansions of the White Tiger, he also created some 'Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals,' planning to use this momentum to promote the lower-tier members of the Four Seas Dragon Palace System.

Although the term 'Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals' has a bit of a 'rotten fish and shrimp' connotation, the actual Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals are not weak.

They just appear weak in the stories of big shots like Brother Monkey and the Third Prince.

Of course, some of the Shrimp Soldiers are indeed a bit subpar and not worth drawing into scrolls. This time, it mainly focuses on several great Crab Generals, Sea Yakshas, Eel Warriors, and so on from the Four Seas Dragon Palace.

As for Shrimp Soldiers, they can be directly 'enlightened' and recruited later, similar to Netherworld Soldiers.

As for the Dragon Princes and Dragon Princesses, they are indeed quite difficult to handle at the moment.

After all, in the mythological texts of his previous life, there aren't many records of the Dragon King of the Four Seas' descendants. The more famous ones are the Third Prince Ao Bing from the Dragon King of the East Sea's Family, and the little Dragon Girl of the East Sea, [Wealth-Bringing Dragon Girl], from folk legends, who is also one of the acolytes under Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Then there are Prince Mo'ang and the little white Dragon Ao Lie from the Dragon King of the West Sea's Family.

Aside from these, there are basically no records of the other Dragon Kings' children, at most just their names.

This is where the importance of disciples comes in.

He doesn't have the time or energy to conceive of these Dragon children. Getting the known ones out is enough; the rest can be left to his two disciples to solve.

Moreover, when it comes to 'conceiving out of thin air,' he might not necessarily be better than the natives of the scroll world.

Arriving at the Club.

First, he handed over a batch of scroll drafts, including Crab Generals, Sea Yakshas, and Eel Warriors, to the network department to open a separate Four Seas Dragon Palace gacha pool.

Then he went to the scroll studio and called Chen Xu and Yao Xueer to his side.

Under his influence, the two young apprentices' scroll OEM level (proxy crafting level) has improved quite significantly.

After all, while studying his scroll ideas, they were also subtly influenced by the ancient Chinese culture of his previous life, stimulating their thinking and enhancing their understanding of scroll conception.

This is also why Scroll Masters attach great importance to the Revered Master-disciple relationship.

To put it bluntly, being an 'apprentice proxy crafter' for a top Scroll Master is indeed an honor.

While learning and crafting scrolls, they also absorb the scroll philosophy and way of thinking from their Revered Master.

Currently, Chen Xu is as meticulous and methodical as ever, strictly adhering to Wu Xian's standards and knowledge. His understanding of the Ten Yama Generals has significantly improved, and he is vaguely on the verge of reaching the threshold of gold scroll Yin Generals.

Yao Xueer is slightly less advanced in this aspect, only just capable of creating Silver scroll Ten Yama Generals, but her divergent thinking within the Legacy framework is exceptionally good. She has already created her initial version of the Yaksha.

With his subsequent guidance and optimization, it can basically be included in the Netherworld gacha pool.

Therefore, the refinement and completion of the Four Seas Dragon Palace children are primarily entrusted to Chen Xu, with Yao Xueer assisting.

And he gave the authorized original copy of [Sea Yaksha] to Yao Xueer, allowing her to further expand her thinking and complete the entire Yaksha ethnic group.

"Oh~ Your Sea Yaksha is a bit similar to your disciple's Ghost Yaksha~!" Yao Xueer exclaimed in surprise.

"Only a bit similar?" Wu Xian squinted and smiled, "In my opinion, Yakshas are more like an independent ethnic group, rather than a few scattered individuals."

"Ethnic group?" Yao Xueer's eyes flickered.

Carefully sensing the scroll idea of the Sea Yaksha, she suddenly felt enlightened.

At the same time, she deeply realized the gap between herself and her Revered Master.

Compared to her Revered Master's Sea Yaksha, her own [Ghost Yaksha] concept seemed incredibly naive and Elementary.

"What about you, Xiao Chen? Haven't you started your original idea yet?" Wu Xian then asked Chen Xu.

"Hmm... It's basically decided, but I always feel there are still some flaws." Chen Xu was clearly the type who strives for perfection.

"There is no absolutely perfect idea in this world. Just try to make it first, and then slowly optimize and perfect it later," Wu Xian said with a smile, "Do you have a draft? Let Revered Master take a look."

Chen Xu nodded obediently and handed over a few preliminary drafts.

Wu Xian fixed his gaze and couldn't help but be stunned.

Three heads and six arms, a fierce countenance, a massive physique, and eyes all over his body.
