Chapter 242 – Class Change Building

Rakshasa and his companions had not truly ventured deep into the Border Zone, with their main gains coming from the Goblin Hero’s gifts.

“What’s inside?”

“I don’t know, I haven’t looked, and I can’t understand it.”

Mu Yuan asked, and Rakshasa answered bluntly.

The Goblin Hero’s cloak and greatsword were both rare equipment, with the greatsword being of exceptional grade.

“Goblin Divine Sword”!

It possessed special effects such as ‘Slash’, ‘Armor Break’, ‘Sever’, and ‘Heavy Pressure’. Though it didn’t quite live up to the name of a divine sword, it was still a rather powerful Treasure Sword.

Among exceptional grade weapons, it was at least above average.

This Goblin Hero was wealthy.

Besides these two items, the main treasures were the Goblin Hero’s Storage Ring and a Treasure Box he carried with him that was clearly extraordinary at first glance.

“Dawnlight Treasure Box (Rare)”

“Description: Used to store tree seeds or special medicinal herbs, preventing their vitality and medicinal potency from diminishing over time.”

Since this Treasure Box was carried by the Goblin Hero, it was likely because its contents couldn’t be stored in a Storage Ring.

If the box itself was so precious, what about what was stored inside?

Mu Yuan loaded Lu Liu and Dolai’s templates, covered his palm with a faint golden light, then reached out and clicked the Treasure Box open.

Inside lay peacefully a seed the size of a pebble.

“???”

Using his Lord’s vision, Mu Yuan couldn’t identify the seed’s information.

So he took out several identification crystals, rubbed them, and directed the projected light onto the seed.

After several attempts,

soon, the seed’s information appeared.

“Seed of the Icy Purity Fruit Tree”

“Grade: Exceptional”

“Description ①: Once planted, the Icy Purity Fruit Tree rapidly absorbs soil fertility to take root, sprout, grow, and flourish. When mature, it bears fruit approximately once every three years, yielding ten fruits each time. After three hundred years, the tree has a chance to produce a second seed.”

“Note: This growth rate and fruit yield are based on minimum growing conditions. With ample soil nourishment, special soil enrichment, or irrigation with special energies, the growth of the Icy Purity Fruit Tree can be accelerated.”

“Description ②: Icy Purity Fruit has effects including calming the mind, seeing through illusions, and resisting corruption.”

An exceptional grade treasure tree!

Moreover, it was a treasure tree that rarely produced seeds, making its fruits naturally extremely precious.

However, the identification information was still relatively brief. Mu Yuan returned to Blue Star to check some materials and soon found the answer.

“The primary function of Icy Purity Fruit is to resist Crimson Mist erosion, preventing mental derangement and Soul corruption in those who venture deep into the Land of Filth. Of course, it does have some ability to see through Illusions, but this is limited to low and medium-level Illusions. Often, those under Illusions don’t have the opportunity to use potions, and only a few wealthy individuals regularly carry such potions.”

“Hmm, Icy Purity Fruit can be effective when consumed directly, but using it that way is rather wasteful.”

It takes three years to produce just ten fruits.

Even if various methods can shorten the fruiting time, the cultivation cost of Icy Purity Fruit is evident.

The normal usage is to use Icy Purity Fruit as the main ingredient, supplemented by various medicinal herbs, to refine Icy Purity Potion.”However, due to the relatively high price of Icy Purity Potions, their market sales remain low. Many players would rather endure some Crimson Mist erosion than purchase expensive potions unless absolutely necessary.”

Mu Yuan, however, believed that this Icy Purity Potion was quite useful.

The further one ventured beyond the territory, the more Crimson Mist drifted through the world, equivalent to being constantly immersed in toxic fog. Although this only occurred during the Crimson Mist disaster months, he wasn’t clear about the conditions deep in the Wilderness during normal times.

The likelihood of Crimson Mist existing there was not low.

“The minimum growth environment here probably refers to ordinary-grade farmland?”

For the Icy Purity Fruit Tree, even rare-grade Golden Fertile Soil would only constitute a favorable environment, providing some benefits but not significantly more.

To truly make the fruit trees grow, blossom, and bear fruit quickly, they still needed to rely on the Fairies.

Mu Yuan then opened the Goblin Hero’s Storage Ring.

Inside were piles of Soul Sand, a considerable number of Remnant Souls, and various scattered items.

Rakshasa glanced at them a few times but, unable to understand what they were, stopped looking.

He stood there like a black wooden stake.

Mu Yuan discarded items like skulls one by one and organized them slightly.

He found no documents or records of any kind.

He had wanted to investigate the origins of this wild Goblin Hero.

Rumors said that in the deepest parts of the Gloomy Forest, there existed a ruler-level monster force far beyond the scale of a Monster City—the ‘Goblin Kingdom’.

Setting aside these thoughts, Mu Yuan rummaged through the pile of junk before him and pulled out a blueprint shimmering with a dense green halo.

A Miracle Blueprint!

「Warrior’s Conscription Ground」

「Grade: Rare」

「Description: Can transform eligible civilians without existing classes into the two-star unit ‘Warrior (Human Race)’.」

This was the most valuable item in the Storage Ring.

A conscription building.

“Among Miracle Buildings of the same grade, conscription buildings are second only to Unit Buildings in value. By comparison, this Miracle Blueprint is no less valuable than an outstanding-grade blueprint.”

Although, at first glance, conscripting some warriors in his Tianyuan Territory seemed pointless.

Warriors were merely ordinary two-star units.

Conscription buildings, unlike Unit Buildings, didn’t offer benefits like training bonuses, experience growth, or environmental modifications.

They only provided a platform for civilians to change classes, and even then, only if the individuals met the requirements.

However, conscription buildings had one advantage over Unit Buildings…

They had no quota restrictions.

Many Lords screened talents among their residents, granted them conscription opportunities, and formed a decent Garrison Legion.

Mu Yuan didn’t need to form a resident legion; he only needed one thing.

Evolution Points.

“Residents themselves cannot provide Evolution Points, but units like Sophia and Daisy, who are both Witch units and residents, can provide a certain number of Evolution Points.”

“So can other residents with classes.”

When refugees arrived, a very small number among them already had classes.

‘Lancer’, ‘Sorcerer Apprentice’, ‘Swordsman’—these were the rare R and SR talents among the refugees.

Mu Yuan had noticed that these individuals could generate Evolution Points.

He had also conducted other experiments.

Over so many… months, his exploration team had obtained more than just one or two Inheritance Stones.Early on, he sold off all the Inheritance Stones. Later, when he no longer lacked a mere one or two Soul Crystals, he began keeping some suitable Inheritance Stones to bestow upon citizens who had made outstanding contributions.

Citizens who underwent class changes held dual identities as both civilians and military units.

By transitioning into a Human Race class, they could generate Human Race Evolution Points.

If they transitioned into a non-human class, they would produce Evolution Points from other factions.

For Master Li Erniu, the citizen with the most outstanding contributions, Mu Yuan specifically purchased an Inheritance Stone online to bestow upon him and facilitated his evolution. Now, Master Li has advanced to the Eminent Three-Star tier as a ‘Weapons Master’.

This class excels in all forms of weaponry and can analyze the structure of weapons and equipment. Beyond combat prowess, it greatly assists Master Li in forging equipment.

Using an Inheritance Stone guarantees transition into that specific class. Humans can seamlessly transition into units like ‘Succubus’ or ‘Minotaur Warrior’ without any issues.

Class-changing buildings are different, requiring prerequisite conditions to be met.

Mu Yuan was quite satisfied with obtaining a Human Race class-changing building.

“What a pity this is a class-changing site for Two-Star Warrior units. It would have been perfect if it were a class-changing building for One-Star Militia.”

…

Time passed.

At sunrise, citizens and various intelligent military units continuously headed to the outer areas of the territory, vigorously constructing the Blackrock Wall that would provide everyone with a strong sense of security.

When monster waves arrived, construction temporarily halted. Citizens returned to the town while various corps launched attacks.

Sunrise, sunset.

Days repeated.

Viewed from the heights of Tianyuan Territory, hundreds to thousands of tiny figures shuttled inside and outside the territory. Speeding up time by thousands or tens of thousands of times would reveal the city walls being constructed at a visibly rapid pace, section by section.

On the third day, the northern wall was completed, curving to protect the territory.

The territory faced three waves of attacks that day.

On the sixth day, wall sections were built along the west side facing the Gloomy Forest and the southern area with numerous farmlands.

The territory encountered four waves of attacks that day.

On the eighth day, a fortress surrounded by several walls over ten meters long was constructed outside the northern wall, serving as a firepower point to attract monsters.

This adjustment was made in response to the patterns of monster waves.

Tenth day, eleventh day, twelfth day.

Day after day, the territory transformed at a remarkable pace.

But outside the territory, the Crimson Mist gradually grew denser, almost imperceptibly.

Significant changes also occurred within the territory.

Mu Yuan purchased and constructed two new ‘Cultivation Chambers’.

One located in the Skull Graveyard area, the other in the Icy Spirit Cold Pool area.

General Dolai, one of the main combat forces, spent over twelve hours daily in cultivation under Mu Yuan’s supervision, practically living in the Cultivation Chamber.

“I, General Dolai, will surely defeat powerful enemies on the battlefield.”

It cultivated with utmost determination.

It slumped over the desk, talking in its sleep.

It would jolt awake, pinch its own cheeks, stretching them like rubber bands before vigorously rubbing them. Once fully awake, it would resume cultivating with renewed vigor.

“General Dolai will ab-so-lute-ly not lose…”

The Undead General also seized every moment to cultivate, striving to advance to the Fourth-Order Commander Tier as soon as possible. However, concerned about Bone Two and other skeletons, it couldn’t resist personally going out to check the situation.

The Warrior class-changing building was constructed in the South District of the territory.Under the arrangements of Isloria and Lu Liu, groups of residents proceeded in an orderly manner to the transformation buildings.

“This is the Lord’s benevolence, granting you the opportunity to change your fate. You must grasp and cherish it well.”

After the transformation, even without cultivation to improve their Rank, these individuals would experience a noticeable enhancement in their physical constitution.

They would become resistant to cold and heat, and common illnesses would no longer affect them.

Whether in construction work, moving bricks, or wielding hoes for farming, the strength of these ‘warriors’ would not go to waste.

Second update…
