Other Competitors? (Continued)

"We need to expand the mint. But with 6,000 silver coins a day, wouldn't the investment be recouped in just one day?"

Ye Qian.

Of course, you should use the silver coins you earn to recruit Berserker as possible.

When their numbers are small, their advantage is not apparent, but once their numbers increase, they become exceptionally difficult for the enemy to deal with.

"Unfortunately, the Black Iron Rank is already the limit that the Player System can recruit."

There are no Mithril Rank buildings.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that only ancient heroes can reach that level; ordinary units simply cannot. And ancient heroes are often summoned at relatively low levels, requiring leveling up. This is because the Magic Net cannot completely condense high-level souls into reality.

In a sense, heroes are protected by the will of the world.

The will of the world, something that exists in the dark, is the most mysterious and difficult to explain. It can only be said that the Player System can only abide by it for the time being.

"The current Magic Net is controlled by me and several other administrators, including Little Orange. There are still quite a few restrictions on the use of this system."

Ye Qian now knows that the original Magic Net was simply a means of transmitting magical power, allowing ordinary people to borrow divine power through cultivation.

And his own Dusk System, to some extent, also has the effect of the Magic Net.

That makes her think she's pretty amazing.

"Time is running out; in a few days, we'll have to go back to reality."

After looking at the logout restrictions, Ye Qian sighed slightly.

The Magic Net, after all, bears the important responsibility of adjusting the time of the two worlds, so maintenance time is necessary, which is why it is often paused.

Conversely, those Otherspace Instance pose an even greater challenge to the current Player System.

The Otherspace it can access are all intricately connected to this Main World. Once this connection is severed, the Magic Net will be unable to reach them.

"Is this why Colored Bubble like those from Zombie World are so close to my dreams?"

This can be understood as the easiest to enter.

"Player System, just stop sending people to those places altogether and focus on developing the Main World."

Over the next two days, 12,000 new silver coins were produced.

She used 2,000 of them to build up and replenish the archers.

10,000 coins were used to recruit 5 new Berserker.

Ye Qian dispatched several small teams of 100 people each to explore the vicinity.

Most teams suffer significant personnel losses after just one outing. Even Berserker face considerable trouble without Water of Purification.

Another option is [Healing Leaf] and [Basic Healing Potion (Green)].

The former is not as good as Water of Purification, but it can be applied externally to produce a lasting effect and stabilize the body's condition slightly when injured.

The latter is much more effective than the Water of Purification for minor injuries, and the healing is surprisingly fast.

It costs 5 silver coins to synthesize a bottle using the Player System, and 10 silver coins to sell it to other players.

Considering the current high silver production, Ye Qian prepared 100 bottles to alleviate minor injuries during intense battles.

The Berserker became major users of the drug, but these guys preferred the Water of Purification, which was very effective at relieving pain. They were excited at the thought that it was Purification by Ye Qian's hands.

As for the foot version, there isn't one, hmph!

That evening, Ye Qian had replenished her Berserker force to 30 men.

At this moment, an exploration team spotted unfamiliar figures 12 kilometers away.

There were two people.

It had green hair on its head and its skin was tanned.

Almost the instant they met, the notification from the Player System startled Ye Qian.

[Unknown target detected, presumably an opposing contestant.]

One point worth noting is that participants often don't directly reveal who the other is, but different factions have their own methods of identification.

The Magic Net system also utilizes differences in rules to detect similar situations.

If there is a significant deviation, then nine times out of ten it is an individual from another world.

Therefore, when this message popped up, Ye Qian believed it immediately.

The other party discovered this place almost at the same time.

Without wasting words, they rushed over and attacked.

However, it seems that they are being treated as natives by the other side.

"Two more came and wiped out an entire village. I'm not satisfied yet."

"Hahaha."

The two people quickly separated with a hop and a jump, and the tree between them snapped as if cut by some force.

Seeing the trees fall one by one, the Berserker didn't even understand what was happening, but Ye Qian had already guessed it.

Silk!

You can tell from their hand movements that there are very fine threads connecting one of their hands.

"Step back."

Ye Qian sent the message directly to the Berserker on the other side.

The archers behind immediately fired their arrows.

The Iron Arrow, propelled by wind elemental magic, moved at strange speeds, whizzing past their ears.

"Too weak." One of the men sneered.

With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept by, and the Iron Arrow encountered strange resistance, falling to the ground.

"I'll go."

Ye Qian No. 3 knew that this opponent was not easy to beat.

That kind of fine thread ability is actually very difficult for ordinary people to deal with.

Ye Qian immediately summoned a Cannon Fodder Clone.

That is, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 36 stationed in the Main World home, with purple hair.

Teleportation can only occur through contracts, allowing the user to appear near other friendly units within a distance of no more than 10 meters.

If you want to go further, then you have to obtain more specific coordinate information about this world.

Just like Ye Qian, sometimes when you enter a world through a bubble, you always appear in a random location.

The Cannon Fodder Misses who appeared near the Berserker opened her mouth the instant she appeared and exhaled a terrifying black mist.

Worsening Breath!

The terrifying black mist carried intense, vibrating energy, as if it were about to tear space apart.

The person who was rapidly approaching suddenly changed his expression and immediately slowed down.

Because the mist was directed at him.

As the speed decreased, Miss Cannon Fodder No. 36's arm suddenly expanded, turning into a giant, pitch-black demonic claw.

In the rolling mist, she leaped forward, instantly catching up to the man like a cannonball.

"Damn it."

The other person extended their index finger, and several thin threads flew out in a flash, attempting to sever the girl's neck.

"White silk?"

My eyes have already been drawn to it.

Demons already possess superior eyesight, and with the added dynamic capture ability granted by their attributes, she almost instantly tilted her head back, letting the threads flash past her.

But before she could even raise her head and get up, a sense of danger came from her right.

Clang!

With a flick of its claws, the silk threads released by the other person on the right were snapped in two.

Several gaps appeared on the scales of the claws.

Miss Demon Cannon Fodder 36 landed with a somersault, opened her mouth again and sprayed black mist that directly enveloped one of them.

"Aaaaaaahh..."

Amidst the pitiful screams, the opponent's skin rotted at a visible speed, and patches of trembling black spots appeared all over their body, causing the epidermis to shatter and scatter.

"You go ahead."

Cannon Fodder Misses shouted at the several dazed Berserker.

"Yes!"

Although the enemy is stronger, with the purple-haired girl holding things off, this battle shouldn't be too difficult.

The Berserker swung their battle axes, unleashing a storm of attacks that crashed into the two silk threads with a clang.

The axe was chipped, but the other person also yanked their arm, flipping their fingernails off.

The greater the pain, the more it will affect one's fighting ability, no matter how strong one's willpower is.

Close-quarters combat isn't just about wielding guns; in these clashes between strong individuals, every second demands intense concentration, as a moment's carelessness can lead to certain death.

At this moment, there is no doubt that the enemy's combat strength has been affected.

They tried to retreat.

Unexpectedly, a girl dressed as a schoolgirl with short black hair also appeared behind them, spewing out a mouthful of mist and attacking with a black Demon Claw.

"No--"

The person struck by the claw had their spine snapped, was sent flying backward, and crashed heavily into a tree.

"Damn it, this strange power... you're not native to this place?"

The survivor, his skin ulcerated from the Worsening Breath, retreated several dozen steps in a panic, his eyes fixed nervously on the two girls.

The berserkers also surrounded them.

The archer stands a hundred meters away and takes aim.

"Hmm, so you finally know?" The short-haired, Cannon Fodder Misses in a black JK uniform smiled wickedly.

It has been proven that the body's endocrine system and structure can influence personality to some extent; some people's smiles have a certain resemblance to this.

"So you are followers of Evil God."

After learning the situation, the opponent prepared to release silk threads to retaliate again, but the black-haired girl struck first and killed him.

"Call."

After the battle was over, he turned around and glanced at his soldiers.

"Fine."

If she doesn't take action, she might lose several valuable troops.

Since there are few of them now, Ye Qian can take action herself if she can; there's no need to force things and cause trouble.

"Lady Ye Qian, we've encountered other contestants, which means the enemy's camp is likely nearby," the Berserker Captain said, having just realized something.

"Hmm." The black-haired girl nodded. "I think it's necessary to enhance your combat capabilities, mainly your equipment."

The equipment in the Main World has never been very good, which is why she is reluctant to provide this kind of equipment for the Dusk members.

However, after looking at it now, the best kind, the magical equipment crafted by a high-level blacksmith, is still relatively poor overall, but it is indeed a good match for Berserker.

"This will cost money again."

This battle made Ye Qian realize how weak her troops were.

In terms of attributes, the Demon Misses completely outclass the Berserker.

Of course, the two opponents using silk threads couldn't beat him either.
