Chapter 69: Resurrection Altar Blueprint
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“My Lord, take a look at this.”
As Jichen pondered over the crystal apparatus, Alice’s voice came through.
She was crouched in front of the remains of the skeletal commander, holding three items in her hand.
“These were found inside the wreckage.”
One of them was a blueprint for a structure, another was a shimmering crystal, and the last one was a peculiar map.
Could these be… loots?
Jichen’s excitement surged as he casually took the blueprint and examined it.
[Resurrection Altar Blueprint]
[Level: Special]
[Effect: Able to revive troops]
[Usage Limit: 2/2 times per month, 1 to 5000 units per resurrection]
[Resources required for construction: 10,000 units of stone, 10,000 units of crude iron, 2000 units of crystal, 2000 units of mithril.]
[Resources required for activation: 10,000 units of wood, 10,000 units of clay, 10,000 units of fiber, 500 units of crystal, 500 units of mithril.]
[Area: 10×10]
[Remark: Unable to revive hero units]
A building that can resurrect units!?
This is truly a great find.
For most players, when venturing out to battle monsters, their units often suffer some damage. If they’re lucky, they may only lose a few members. But if luck is not on their side, their entire army might be wiped out.
Even Jichen, with Alice by his side, suffered significant losses this time, unexpectedly losing over ten elite pirates.
The resurrection altar can be activated twice a month, resurrecting up to 5,000 units each time. That means they can resurrect 10,000 units every month, which is highly manageable.
However, each activation requires a substantial amount of resources, but it’s definitely less than what recruiting from the barracks would cost.
Looking at it from another perspective, the more units resurrected at once, the greater the profit. And as the game progresses, the resurrection altar becomes more and more valuable.
Just imagine, if the enemy had killed a large number of soldiers the day before. Then, the next day, they wake up only to find that those they had killed the day before are now standing before them, alive and well.
That would be a terrifying and mind-boggling experience.
This move, it’s like a resurrection of shadowy soldiers!
Rising up from hell for revenge.
Jichen nodded approvingly and put the blueprint into his backpack. He then took the peculiar crystal in his hand.
[Green Heroic Soul Essence]
[Level: Special]
[Effect: It can instantly promote a potential Aspiring-hero of green elite rank to a green elite hero.]
This was a great find.
I hadn’t expected the skeletal commander to possess something like this.
With this soul essence, the native leopard could truly become a hero and exert control over those unruly pirates.
Now, let’s look at the last item.
Among the three items, the last sheepskin parchment map was the most special.
It emitted a faint blue light and one could sense the peculiar energy emanating from it. It looked extraordinary at first glance.
I wondered from which corner of the island or from which secret realm the skeletal commander had obtained it.
Jichen stared at it intently.
[Magic Map]
[Effect: Able to lead to a mysterious location.]
[Description: Contains clues related to a special ocean-based main class.]
An ocean-based special main class!?
He felt a jolt in his heart, followed by a wave of excitement.
According to the game information, players could choose regular main classs like warriors, mages, or archers.
However, with enough luck and strength, it was also possible to obtain clues and transition into special main classs.
These special main classs often possessed powers that surpassed regular ones.
His current main class was an apprentice warrior.
It was a fairly average class with balanced bonuses, lacking any remarkable features.
Compared to the defense-focused shield bearers, his survivability was weak. And when compared to archers, he couldn’t perform long-range attacks.
As for mages, well, there was no comparison at all.
Therefore, Jichen often wondered deeply about his past self.
Was his mind not functioning properly back then?
Why did he choose such an unremarkable main class?
He opened his personal panel.
Having defeated the skeletal commander, his level had now reached 10.
On the panel, the main class section now had the word “Transition” with an accompanying explanation.
[Main Class]: Warrior (Apprentice) [Could be promoted to Formal Warrior]
[Skills upon Promotion]:
Blood Renewal (Green Skill): Improved the body’s recovery ability for a short duration.
Fearless Charge (Green Skill): Increased charging speed, with a chance to stun opponents when equipped with a shield.
War Rhythm (Green Skill): Provided a rhythm effect to allies within a ten-meter radius, increasing attack and movement speed by 10%.
Damn, those skills were idiotic!
The first skill, Blood Renewal, was somewhat useful as a survival skill and had some utility in battles.
But the second and third skills were utterly useless.
Fearless Charge? Did they expect the Lord himself to charge into battle alongside the troops?
They would have been chopped down in the midst of chaos.
War Rhythm? It was almost the same, requiring the Lord to risk his own life.
These skills might not have been a big problem if they were in a traditional adventure MMO.
But in this world where there were groups of monsters everywhere and the main focus was recruiting troops for large-scale legion battles as a Lord.
These two skills were as absurd as having a general, who commanded wars, personally join the frontline for hand-to-hand combat.
Once again, Jichen fell into contemplation.
Back then, why did I choose to be a warrior?
But fortunately, by a fortuitous coincidence, he obtained this magical map fragment with a clue to a special main class in the ocean domain.
There was no need to confine himself to being an ordinary warrior anymore.
According to the information, generally, the best time to switch to a special class was before the main class was officially promoted.
That way, the chances of a successful transition would be higher.
In other words, he needed to keep his level at 10 and wait until he acquired the special main class.
Now, it was time to see where the clue indicated on this magical map fragment was located.
With a thought, the magical map emitted a more dazzling blue light and projected a ray of light onto a map displaying a specific location in the ocean.
An arrow pointed towards the target destination.
“This place is not near the Crescent Islands but rather in the far southwest region of the sea. It’s quite a distance away.”
“In that case, it seems like I have to put aside the tasks at hand and obtain this special main class first. After all, the pirate ship is almost repaired, and soon we’ll be able to set sail…”
“As for the exploration plan of the mountain peak in the northeast of the main island, it will have to be postponed…”
Jichen looked at the location indicated by the arrow on the light map, silently contemplating.
He carefully stored the magical map.
Looking around, he was in a good mood.
The gains from this trip were astonishing.
A rare building blueprint, a soul essence that could promote an Aspiring-hero, a magical map with a clue to a special main class, and a crystal device capable of opening a secret realm.
If these were known in the outside world, any one of them would make other players green with envy.
If they knew how many amazing things Jichen possessed, they would probably say, “The luckiest player strikes again!”
At this point, the exploration of the three northeastern auxiliary islands had been roughly completed.
They were mostly ruins of military facilities, with nothing noteworthy except for the skeletons that once occupied this place.
Without further delay, Jichen cast a deep gaze at the crystal device on the ground.
He instructed the troops to take the corpses of the deceased pirates and return to their territory..
