Chapter 17: Lin Daiyu + [Strength to Uproot Mountains] affix!

Seeing Yun Shen had already planned this out beforehand; given his current needs, the affix quality of his weapons didn't matter for the time being. They were all meant to be transitional anyway, and he would definitely have to replace them later.

However, when it came to heroes and troops, considering long-term development, purple affixes were clearly not enough. He had to at least spawn an orange affix before he could even consider them.

In fact, Seeing Yun Shen's original recruitment of this batch of Pink Skeletons was also based on the idea of them being transitional; he would definitely phase them out later.

But who would have thought that this Pink Skeleton troop type would look so extraordinary? As an Shi Shi-grade troop, not only did they have Legendary-grade skills, but they actually had Legendary-grade bond effects!

This proved that among all Shi Shi-grade troops, the Pink Skeletons were absolutely in the top tier.

Because of this, Seeing 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 affixes 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):...

【Endurance】 (Purple):...

【Ten-Layer Heavenly Palace · Famous Vessel】 (Orange):...

What kind of garbage was all this?

It was simply a pile of orange crap!

Seeing Yun Shen had black lines all over his head, signaling that he didn't want to be a guy who understood these things instantly.

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

He had originally thought he would gain nothing, until he saw one... Golden affix on Lin Daiyu!

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

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

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

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

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

Seeing Yun Shen was stunned by the effect of this affix. Didn't this mean that in the future, Lin Daiyu could jump back and forth 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 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 anyone tried to cut into the back row in the future and target Lin Daiyu, she could instantly allocate attributes to her physique and have a fist-to-fist battle with the opponent!

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

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

But very quickly, Lin Daiyu heard a notification sound.

【You have obtained the skill: Strength to Uproot Mountains (Gold).】

"This is..."

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

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

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

She liked this skill very much!

"Thank you, my lord!"

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

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

【Your troop Pink Skeleton (Lin Daiyu) is grateful that you allowed her to obtain stronger power. Favorability +20, current favorability 85.】

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

Seeing Yun Shen packed a few mining tools into his backpack, putting on an appearance of going along with them.

"Lord Territory Owner, are you coming too?"

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

And she could also tell that Seeing Yun Shen was actually very weak—the kind who would be hugged to death if she hugged him.

Physique attributes were very decisive for mining efficiency. This group of newly recruited young ladies was just barely passable, and they were enough to be sent to mine. If Seeing Yun Shen went, his role wouldn't be very significant.

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

Seeing Yun Shen didn't state his purpose; in fact, he wanted to go see if that iron mine could spawn affixes.

If it could be spawned, 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."

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

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

Because the spiritual power Jiang Lan had consumed earlier hadn't recovered, Seeing Yun Shen didn't ask her to build a simple transport tool for them to ride.

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

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

"Lord Territory Owner, why don't I carry you? That way we can be faster."

"Sure."

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

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

Seeing Yun Shen was bewildered: "Eh?"

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

After 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 Daiyu, who directly allocated attributes to her physique and even carried Jia Yingchun and 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 to be their wives on the way to their weddings.

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 Seeing Yun Shen, who had read the original *Dream of the Red Chamber*, knew that many of these twelve women were already married—far more than six—and none of them had good endings.

Traveling at high speed, the group soon arrived near their destination. ===== CHAPTER 19 =====
