After looking at the comments from the top players and the way other top newcomers were racing against time, Mu Yuan also felt a sense of urgency.

But urgency was useless.

Behind those top Whale Players stood Eternal World lords and real-world financial groups. They could charge forward relentlessly, and even if they encountered an accident and fell into the Abyss, at least they could still save their lives.

Ordinary players like him couldn't do that. Every step had to be carefully considered. One wrong step could lead to eternal damnation.

He could only be Steady while making the most of his time to develop his territory.

Mu Yuan browsed through them one by one. Many of the actions of these excellent newcomers greatly astonished him.

He focused on the newcomers within the Baiyun Province area.

These newcomers' birthplaces on the Eternal Continent were in the same area as his. If he also wanted to make it onto the list during the trial and compete for the gifts of Heaven and Earth, these people would be his competitors.

"Newcomer 'I Have the Bearing of an Emperor', Comment Reason: Extremely strong micro-management ability, has a record of annihilating over twenty enemies with 8 Three Star troops without taking damage, outstanding personal ability."

"Newcomer 'Shatter the Darkness with Thunder', Comment Reason: Possesses a hidden command talent. Under his leadership, troops can unleash stronger destructive power than usual."

"Newcomer 'In the Name of Li', Comment Reason: ...Possesses a talent, has recruited Rare Grade troops, and has won multiple battles with fewer numbers, achieving brilliant records."

"..."

The information source for these excellent newcomer comments provided by the intelligence dealer was mostly self-disclosed and verified by the newcomers themselves.

Unlike Mu Yuan, who was an unremarkable nobody, some Game Second Generations with deep backgrounds and extraordinary performances since childhood were already highly anticipated figures in the transcendent circle.

Admittedly, the selection mechanism of the Eternal World was completely random, but Game Second Generations with 'special talents' were exceptions and had a significant probability of being selected.

"If both parents are transcendent players and are quite powerful, their children have a certain probability of being born with some special abilities, such as spitting water, telekinesis, flying; such as making Archers shoot further; such as being able to establish a Mental Link with troops to achieve remote control, and so on."

"Civilian players also have a very small probability of possessing talent, but it is mostly latent and needs to be gradually unearthed as the player's rank continuously increases."

Mu Yuan stroked his chin. "Indeed, I only possess a little bit of special ability for evolution, it's not cheating at all."

However, in addition to these already highly anticipated favored sons and daughters of Heaven, some newcomers also actively disclosed their information.

The purpose seemed to be...

"Building momentum?"

"So as to attract more investment?"

Of course, he was different. Apart from the resources he could get for free, Mu Yuan didn't want anything else. He just wanted to be a Quiet individual lord.

It seemed that because the post by the intelligence dealer, this top player, was officially recognized, many newcomers simply volunteered themselves below.

They were not all outstanding newcomers.

The weaker ones hoped to get a little investment to help them pass the official Resource Assessment and then get through the Lord Trial.

The stronger ones hoped to make it onto the list. Being commented on by a top player was a great affirmation for many newcomers.

They would soon receive invitations from large corporations, become CEOs, and reach the pinnacle of life.

One newcomer left a message below:

"This Lord has recruited Rare Grade Skeleton Warriors, [Image 1.jpg], [Image 2.jpg]. See how strong and handsome they are, I ask, who else can compare!"

Mu Yuan clicked on the image. It was indeed a majestic Skeleton Warrior, clad in silver-gray full body armor, wielding a greatsword, and carrying a Bone Spear on its back.

Another player has recruited a Rare Troop, and it's a Skeleton Warrior.

But something seems off?

Below the post were comments from a crowd of envious players.

"Prostrating before the big shot in the front row."

"Big shot, please notice me."

"This big shot hasn't even made it onto the review list yet? Looks like a dark horse!"

"More than just a dark horse, this is a top-tier dark horse!"

"Dark horses appear every year, but this year they're early."

"Hold on," the Newbies were all praising, but an Old Player stared at the image and pondered for a while before noticing, "Doesn't your Skeleton Warrior's aura seem a bit lacking? The way it's holding the sword isn't quite right... And it's a bit short."

Mu Yuan also noticed.

He had initially thought that Undead Bone Emperor was different from other Skeleton Warriors, which was normal, as it was a future Emperor after all.

But upon closer inspection, he realized, How is this warrior... a bit like a Skeleton Soldier?

"How is your Skeleton Soldier wearing a warrior's armor?"

An Old Player said, "This is clearly just a Common Grade Three Star Skeleton Soldier, just wearing armor specifically made to resemble a warrior's. I was almost fooled."

"Even if your armor is a perfect replica, a Skeleton Soldier is still a Skeleton Soldier. It's skilled at using War Blades. The Bone Spear you've equipped it with is just for show... Skeleton Soldiers don't possess any throwing techniques, and probably can't even hold a Bone Spear."

But putting all that aside, this Skeleton Soldier wearing warrior's clothes was still... quite handsome.

Its combat power was estimated to be, more or less, stronger than a Common Grade Skeleton Soldier.

After all, it was the Skeleton Warrior: Youth Edition.

Mu Yuan mused, I failed to exploit the bug before and couldn't stockpile some equipment, but thinking from another angle, if I wasn't short on money and crafted a set of armor like this for the Skeleton Soldier, could it reduce the points consumed during its evolution?

Maybe I can try it when I'm rich in the future, but not now.

A set of armor like this that could be sent into the game world wouldn't be cheap.

Wait, there are also cross-world transportation taxes... Thinking about it makes it even more expensive. Exploiting bugs is indeed a very difficult thing.

The night passed without a word.

Mu Yuan cultivated by eating Abundant Fruit in the real world, while Undead Bone cultivated by eating Soul Sand in the Eternal World. Everyone had a bright future together.

The next day,

Mu Yuan woke up early. He continued to arrange for himself and Undead Bone to go out and explore, collect resources, and make full use of their time.

After this exploration trip returned and the game character was tired and needed rest, Mu Yuan prepared to go out.

"I need more Little Skeleton Remnant Souls, and it would be best if I could buy some cultivation materials that can assist in cultivation and provide enhancement for Undead Bone."

such as Abundant Fruit.

There were many similar cultivation materials and auxiliary training materials. Before, he didn't have the conditions, but now, he had over a hundred or two hundred Soul Sand in his pocket, as well as some materials and treasures. He had to buy some supplements for Undead Bone.

He wasn't aiming to be like a Whale Player, but at least he couldn't let the child suffer.

Mu Yuan piled the Remnant Souls and materials that could potentially be sold in front of the Lord Altar for easy access. He looked at Undead Bone, who was currently studying techniques, and thought, "Should I summon Undead Bone to the real world? Although the general environment in Xuan Country is relatively safe, having power in hand is always more reassuring."

Most importantly, after a few days of strengthening, Mu Yuan felt that he was almost ready and his body wouldn't be drained.

Since that was the case, who could resist the temptation to see their Skeleton's heroic posture with their own eyes?

He said to Undead Bone, "Bone, This Lord has prepared a set of Monster Compendium, a set of Military Tactics, and a set of Nine-Year Compulsory Education for you. How about it, are you interested in coming here for a look?"

Undead Bone couldn't wait and nodded with a clicking sound.

Since that was the case, after Undead Bone handed over the work to the other Skeletons, Mu Yuan incorporated it into his Lord's Mark. Along with that, he also incorporated Bone Two and Bone Three.

As soon as he incorporated them, he felt a connection in the unseen, spanning Blue Star and the Eternal World.

He was a little surprised.

He had actually tried before. At that time, he had incorporated Undead Bone, who was still a Little Skeleton, into the Mark, and the connection in the unseen was very weak. He also had a premonition that if he were to truly summon Undead Bone to the real world, his weak mental power and body would be drained.

But now...

"It feels so easy? The connection is much stronger than before."

"The connection with Bone Two and Bone Three is also not weak, several times stronger than when they were Little Skeletons, but still much weaker than Undead Bone."

"So... could it be related to evolution? Because of evolution, the connection between me and Undead Bone has become closer, and the difficulty of summoning has naturally decreased."

Since that was the case...

Mu Yuan closed the window and pulled the curtains tight.

He took a deep breath, stood in the center of the room, holding a fragment of Soul Sand the size of a fingernail.

With a flick, the Soul Sand flew up like a coin.

"In my name, summon~

"The future Skeleton Emperor, Lord of Bones, Master of Death, Controller of the Underworld, Watcher of the Other Shore... Undead Bone, manifest in reality!"

A low voice echoed in the bedroom, and mysterious patterns outlined themselves out of thin air.

Wind also surged.
