Chapter 32 Objective: Quickly Escape the Haunted House
The Cursed Temple within Linmo's territory has been completed, and even the construction progress of the Level 1 Magic Tower is only halfway complete.
【Cursed Temple!】
Current Skeleton Soldier Production: 12 units/day
[Can recruit 12 skeleton soldiers]
With plenty of resources at hand, Lin Mo naturally recruited the 12 skeleton soldiers without hesitation. This immediately replenished the skeleton soldiers that had been lost, and the number finally reached the order of 70.
Hammer and Genova recounted their gains and their conflict with the Mexican gang.
Daniel and his friends seemed somewhat worried after hearing this.
"Frimendo is not someone to be trifled with. Before the cataclysm, they were the biggest gang here, and even J.C. didn't dare to mess with them."
"Those guys were all ruthless!" Bever added, remembering something, "I have a friend who had his testicles cut out while he was still alive... Hi, man, can you imagine that scene? Fuck, just thinking about it makes my balls hurt!"
However, Lin Mo didn't care about the Mexican gang.
Perhaps, before the catastrophe, these people were very difficult to deal with, and provoking them would have endless consequences.
But now, they are nothing in Lin Mo's eyes.
"Didn't you take out quite a few of them? Don't worry, as long as we have troops, any enemy will crumble." Lin Mo patted Hammer on the shoulder.
It's a good thing that the other side and Genova were able to capture a 'Guardian Tower' that can recruit gargoyles. In this primitive era when many human survivors don't even know what 'territory' is, a building that can recruit troops represents the future.
Only by having troops at hand can one continuously accumulate resources and acquire territory building blueprints. Only by becoming a lord hero can one be qualified to occupy a place in this new world in the future.
"You need to recruit gargoyles from the guard tower every day to build up your forces. At the same time, use the guard tower as a center to scout outwards and capture all the treasure chests and resource points you can find. This is the task I'm giving you. Can you do it?" Lin Mo stared at Hammer.
The latter was taken aback at first. Although he was pleasantly surprised, he did not agree immediately but thought about it carefully.
Because to shoulder this responsibility, passion and impulse alone are far from enough.
A few seconds later, Hammer nodded heavily: "Lin, as long as you trust me, I can do it."
"Okay!" Lin Mo gave Hammer a portion of the gold coins to recruit gargoyles. Gargoyles are a level 2 unit and have the ability to fly. At this stage, as long as you accumulate more than ten, you will have the strength to protect yourself and expand.
If we're lucky, we might even find a few strategic treasures...
Mentioning the strategic treasure, Lin Mo took out the Dwarf King's Shield.
"Here, take this!" He handed the shield to Hammer.
The latter's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He naturally knew what a strategic treasure was and related knowledge, because Lin Mo deliberately wanted to cultivate him and help this former Ghost King develop as quickly as possible, so he taught him a lot.
Therefore, Hammer was well aware of the importance of this strategic treasure.
With this thing, the troops he controls can gain an extra defense bonus, making them more durable and resilient.
Of course, Lin Mo chose to give the Dwarf King's Shield to Hammer instead of Jenova because he was going to be taking Jenova with him on his next mission.
Lin Mo will find this ranger-type hero useful.
Daniel and the other two looked at Hammer with envy.
They also wanted to be valued, and these black guys were definitely not the reserved type; they would immediately speak out about anything they felt.
"You will also lead troops, but you need to familiarize yourselves with the rules of this new world first. For the next few days, follow Hammer and learn from him." Lin Mo promised the three black men a bright future. As for whether they would be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future, in Lin Mo's view, strength and ability were not the most important factors.
Whether one is loyal or not is what matters.
"Oh right, a few people claiming to be from the 'Church of Judgment' came over and tried to recruit us. I chased them away. They were crazy. What kind of time is this to be sending people to the church?" Daniel remembered something and said it.
"This is just the beginning. There will be more lunatics and monsters to come. Keep an eye on them, but don't overlook the key points." Lin Mo warned everyone: "At this stage, the most important things are two: resources and manpower..."
......
Lin Mo rested and ate in his own territory.
Even when he was resting, his mind never stopped.
"After the level one magic tower is built, what should we build next? It definitely can't be a graveyard, zombies, or even upgraded zombies; none of them are cost-effective at this stage. As for the spirit tomb, we can recruit level three ghost units. If we upgrade the building, we can recruit wraiths... Level three units are still quite strong at this stage."
Lin Mo knew that in his previous life, most lords and heroes, after establishing their territories, progressed step by step, starting with first-level troops, then second-level troops, constantly accumulating resources and manpower, expanding, building, and repeating the cycle.
However, this route is very time-consuming.
Although he is now ahead of everyone else, Lin Mo knows very well that there are people in this world who are "unlucky".
Some people might trip over a treasure chest while walking, and if they just randomly open it, they'll find all sorts of resources and territory building blueprints inside.
Some people are so unlucky that even drinking cold water can cause them to choke; they might even encounter a level 4 vampire while searching for something and die on the spot.
Where can I go to seek justice?
Because Lin Mo in his previous life was this unlucky guy.
Lin Mo didn't know how others viewed him, but he himself felt quite insecure.
Thinking of vampires, Lin Mo suddenly remembered a construction strategy.
It was something he had heard from others about the early development of the cemetery territory.
It is said that after establishing the cemetery, the construction of other buildings can be abandoned, and all resources can be concentrated to quickly build the "ghost house" within three days.
It's worth noting that the "Haunted House" in the cemetery territory can recruit the Tier 4 unit, the "Vampire".
Vampires are absolutely top-tier even among level four forces, because they have the ability to "regenerate through blood-sucking." They can go out and fight a dozen rounds without suffering any losses.
In short, it's extremely powerful!
With that in mind, Lin Mo immediately went into the Ministry of Internal Affairs and quickly browsed through the construction list.
There are many building options for a Tier 1 cemetery.
Blacksmith shops, unfilled tombs, spirit tombs, haunted dwellings... each has a different function and value.
The blacksmith shop can produce basic weapons and armor, the unfilled tomb can increase the daily production of skeletons by +6, and the spirit tomb can recruit the tier 3 ghost unit.
Lin Mo walked into the Internal Affairs Hall and quickly browsed through the construction list.
There are many building options in a Tier 1 cemetery. Blacksmith shop, skeleton conversion site, unfilled grave, spirit tomb, haunted house... each with different functions and values.
The blacksmith can produce basic weapons and armor, the skeleton conversion field can improve the attack and defense attributes of skeleton soldiers, the unfilled tomb produces a small amount of gold coins every day, and the spirit tomb can recruit the level 3 unit ghost.
But Lin Mo's gaze lingered on only one option: the secluded residence.
Tier 4 military building.
Construction requires 4000 gold coins, 400 wood, and 400 stone.
It's expensive, but since he's already made up his mind, Lin Mo won't hesitate any longer.
He added the secluded house to the construction sequence without hesitation.
[The secluded residence is under construction]
Estimated remaining time: 8 hours
Lin Mo looked at the countdown and took a deep breath.
Eight hours later, tomorrow morning, he will be able to recruit vampires.
Tier 4 units were virtually unstoppable by any player or faction in the first week after the cataclysm—no, let alone the first week, even the second and third weeks.
