Chapter 10

If these were ordinary skeletons, he could let them work until the soul fire went out with one sentence.

If this Versailles thought was heard by other new lords, I'm afraid they would want to point at Yun Shen's nose and scold him; it's simply "the full man doesn't know the hungry man's hunger"!

A group of high-value, high-attribute troop types is simply the gospel of all male lords, isn't it?

Lin Lin Daiyu and the others had also accepted this reality and nodded one after another: "The little woman obeys the Lord's orders."

After the girls divided the equipment, Yun Shen said, "Teacher Jiang Lan, lead the way."

Teacher Jiang Lan asked, "Lord, after mining the iron ore, how should we transport it back?"

"There is no mine cart yet, so I have to trouble you."

Yun Shen looked like a leader who was sexually harassing in the workplace, patted Teacher Jiang Lan's fragrant shoulder, looking like "I think highly of you."

Teacher Jiang Lan: "...Understood."

It was obvious that he wanted her to construct a temporary mine cart with nano-robots.

Perhaps because the favorability reached 91, Teacher Jiang Lan didn't feel much resistance to Yun Shen's physical contact.

Yun Shen suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, we also need to bring back more common stone materials. Upgrading the territory requires them, so I might have to trouble you to run a few more trips."

Teacher Jiang Lan shook her head and said, "It's okay, we can construct several mine carts and connect them together."

The newcomer trial lasts for thirty days in total. Every twenty-four hours, there will be a monster tide.

According to Yun Shen's plan, before the first wave of monster tides arrives, he should be able to upgrade the territory to Level 2.

The improvement of heroes and troops is limited by the territory level. If it is a troop type recruited through barracks-type buildings, it must also be limited by the level of the barracks building.

In other words, Yun Shen needs to upgrade the territory level to Level 2 first before Teacher Jiang Lan and the others can upgrade.

If it weren't for this reason, Yun Shen would have upgraded Teacher Jiang Lan now.

"By the way, I haven't refreshed the entries yet."

Yun Shen looked at the twelve Red Chamber beauties.

"Refresh!"

Yun Shen had already thought it through beforehand. Given his current needs, the quality of weapon entries didn't matter for now; they were all just for transition, and he would definitely replace them later.

However, for heroes and troop types, considering long-term development, purple entries were clearly not enough. He had to at least roll an orange entry before even considering them.

In fact, Yun Shen had originally recruited this batch of Pink Skulls with the idea of them being a transition, intending to phase them out later.

But who would have thought that this Pink Skull troop type looked quite extraordinary? As an epic-tier troop, not only did they have a legendary skill, but they actually had a legendary bond effect!

This proved that among all epic-tier troops, the Pink Skulls were absolutely in the top tier.

Because of this, Yun Shen developed the idea of focusing on cultivating them—and it was absolutely not because he was coveting the bodies of the beauties from *Dream of the Red Chamber*!

Next, as he refreshed the entries for the twelve young ladies, quite a few purple ones appeared, and there were some orange ones too, but their effects were trash.

[Bitch] (Green): ...

[Servility] (Blue): ...

[Hardworking] (Purple): ...

[Ten-Fold Heavenly Palace · Famous Vessel] (Orange): ...

What kind of garbage was this?

It was simply a pile of orange excrement!

Yun Shen had black lines all over his head, indicating he didn't want to be a "boy who understands in seconds."

He was a veteran driver in his past life, but what did that have to do with this life?

He had originally thought he would have no gains, until he saw one... golden entry on Lin Lin Daiyu!

"Could it be that the higher the quality of the target, the easier it is for high-quality entries to appear when refreshing?"

The more Yun Shen thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Just like the first time he rolled an orange entry, it was on Teacher Jiang Lan, and now he had actually rolled a golden entry. It wasn't just a matter of luck; it also had a certain relationship with the troop quality of Lin Lin Daiyu.

After pondering this discovery, Yun Shen stared intently, hoping it wouldn't be a pile of golden excrement.

[Strength to Uproot Mountains] (Gold): Adds the "Strength to Uproot Mountains" active skill, allowing temporary allocation of spiritual power and spirit attribute values into the physique attribute.

"A divine skill! What a 'Strength to Uproot Mountains' Lin Lin Daiyu!"

Yun Shen was stunned by the effect of this entry. Didn't this mean that in the future, Lin Lin Daiyu could repeatedly jump between being a long-range mage and a close-range warrior?

He had already looked at everyone's attributes and skills; although they were the same troop type, they were completely different.

Like Lin Lin Daiyu, her physique was on the lower side, while her spiritual power and spirit were neck-and-neck, which meant she was suitable as a magic unit.

If someone tried to cut into the back row and target Lin Lin Daiyu in the future, she could instantly allocate attributes to physique and have a fist-to-fist battle with the opponent!

Lin Lin Daiyu, who was just about to set off not far away: "?"

She was clearly a delicate woman, so how did she have the strength to uproot mountains?

But very quickly, Lin Lin Daiyu heard a notification sound.

[You have obtained the skill: Strength to Uproot Mountains (Gold).]

"This is..."

Lin Lin Daiyu tried to slowly allocate her other two attributes to physique, gradually feeling the changes coming from her body.

In fact, after arriving at the Myriad Races Battlefield, she had discovered that she felt full of strength and had mastered some "immortal methods."

She had been in poor health since she was a child, weak and sickly, and she longed to possess a healthy body.

She liked this skill very much!

"Many thanks, my lord!"

Lin Lin Daiyu was sincerely grateful and bowed slightly toward Yun Shen.

Everything in the Jia Mansion had become the past; her mindset had completely changed. She wanted to obtain powerful strength in this new world!

[Your troop Pink Skull (Lin Lin Daiyu) is grateful to you for letting her obtain stronger power. Favorability +20, current favorability 85.]

"You're welcome, let's go."

Yun Shen packed several mining tools into his backpack, acting as if he were going along with them.

"Lord Territory Owner, are you coming too?"

Teacher Jiang Lan felt a bit strange; she had thought Yun Shen would continue to stay in the territory.

Moreover, she could tell that Yun Shen was actually very weak—the kind she could hug to death with a single embrace.

The physique attribute was quite decisive for mining efficiency. The group of young ladies just recruited was passable and completely sufficient to be sent to mine; Yun Shen's presence really wouldn't be of much use.

"Hmm... just consider it me going to experience it. Just take me along when you transport the ore carts back."

Yun Shen didn't state his purpose. In fact, he wanted to see if that iron mine could roll an entry.

If it could be rolled, perhaps it could give him some surprises.

As for the safety of the territory, there was no need to worry at all; during the novice protection period, no one could enter except for the residents within the territory.

"Alright."

Teacher Jiang Lan didn't understand what Yun Shen wanted to do, so she could only assume that the Lord Territory Owner must have his reasons for doing so.

Subsequently, the party of fourteen left the territory together and headed toward the location of the iron mine.

Because the spiritual power Teacher Jiang Lan had consumed earlier hadn't recovered, Yun Shen didn't have her build a simple transport tool for travel.

But Yun Shen's physique attribute was too low, and he ran very slowly, severely dragging down the overall speed.

Not long after, Teacher Jiang Lan's stomach growled again, which made her feel a bit embarrassed.

"Lord Territory Owner, how about I carry you? That way we can be faster."

"Sure."

Yun Shen didn't think much of it and agreed directly.

But what he never expected was that the next moment, he was hoisted onto Teacher Jiang Lan's shoulder.

Yun Shen was bewildered: "Eh?"

"Everyone keep up! Those with high physique can carry those with low physique!"

After Teacher Jiang Lan shouted, she quickened the pace of her long legs, and their speed shot up instantly.

The twelve young ladies also increased their speed. What was exaggerated was Lin Lin Daiyu, who directly allocated attributes to physique and even carried Jia Jia Yingchun and Qin Qin Keqing, who were wearing wedding dresses, as she sprinted.

This move made both women feel a bit embarrassed, as if the two of them were being kidnapped by mountain bandits on their way to be married and taken as "mountain wives."

Among the twelve beauties in ancient costumes present, six were wearing wedding dresses; if those Cao-family territory owners saw them, who knows how excited they would be.

And Yun Shen, who had read the original *Dream of the Red Chamber*, knew that many of these twelve women were married—far more than six—and their endings were all bad.

Under the rapid travel, the group soon arrived near the destination. ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
