Transportation Captain

After carefully putting away the two precious treasures, Mu Yuan looked at the large pile of scrap items in front of him that couldn't be identified and fell into deep thought.

He was a little reluctant to part with these scraps.

He didn't expect there to be any self-concealing divine artifacts among this pile of scraps. He just felt it was too wasteful to throw them away like this; they were antiques after all!

After some picking and choosing, Mu Yuan took some items like weathered books, expired potions, and damaged equipment, and simply packed them up.

He didn't have a decent backpack, and Undead Bone and the other Skeletons couldn't weave bamboo baskets. It seemed there was no equipment that could store items.

However, after summoning Undead Bone from reality last time, Mu Yuan discovered some wonderful uses for the Lord's Mark.

—As long as the troops held the items and were then brought into the Mark, these items would also be brought into the Mark Space.

He couldn't carry too much, and even less could he transport them to the real world, but this was equivalent to a small spatial storage bag.

It was just a bit small.

He looked at Undead Bone, "For the remaining things, let everyone take whatever they want, as much as they can carry. Even the scraps can be utilized."

With that, he walked out of the tower.

Bone Two, Bone Three, and the others didn't know how to be careful and might accidentally tear down the tower—he wasn't afraid of the tower being torn down, he had already taken what he needed. He was afraid of being inside when the tower collapsed.

Soon, under Undead Bone's translation and command, the Skeletons walked out, each carrying some bizarre items.

There was a Skeleton with a bucket lid on its head; a Skeleton that had poured sand and gravel into its armor and was constantly leaking it out; the Skeleton with the largest load was Bone Two. It had stuffed a lot of miscellaneous items into its hollowed-out chest cavity and several other broken holes, truly utilizing its limited intelligence to the extreme.

However, the massive Great Slime couldn't carry much cargo.

If placed on them, it would slide off in a moment. Stuff it inside them? It could easily cause indigestion and various accidents.

They were just Slimes, not four-dimensional spatial bags. How could they stuff everything inside?

"Wait, where's Duo Lai?"

His big meat pad seemed to still be inside.

At the entrance of the Ruined Tower, an indescribable mass squeezed out.

It was several sizes larger than the Great Slime, looking at first glance like a pile of miscellaneous items forming an oblate spheroid, with no hint that it was a Slime.

Only upon closer inspection could one see that it was a mass of mucus mixed with various miscellaneous items.

...It still didn't look like a Slime.

"Duo Lai?"

"Goo goo. Ji."

It, it's almost unable to move.

If you can't move, carry less!

Mu Yuan's face was full of black lines, but Duo Lai was reluctant to leave any item behind. If it wasn't already unable to drag them, it would have dragged even more.

After much persuasion, Mu Yuan finally convinced Duo Lai to learn 'batch transportation'.

Duo Lai's big eyes lit up like light bulbs, making gurgling sounds, seemingly having learned a new posture.

Mu Yuan also learned a new operation.

"It's decided. From now on, you will be the Transportation Captain, Duo Lai."

"Goo goo ji?"

Duo Lai still needed to make several more trips to transport all these miscellaneous items back to the territory. It was estimated that the work would continue until nightfall.

But it didn't matter.

The Ruined Tower was not far south of the territory. With the current strength of the territory, a little activity at night was not dangerous.

Mu Yuan was thinking, 'Since Duo Lai is so good at carrying things, why not dismantle the entire Ruined Tower and move it back?' After all, to truly build a Mage Tower, necessary materials were required. If that was the case, the waste materials from dismantling the Ruined Tower could more or less fill this gap, right?

Whether it could or not, there was no harm in trying. It wouldn't take much effort.

It would just take Duo Lai's effort.

No,

Since Duo Lai wanted to carry things so much, was very happy, and very willing, it was equivalent to not taking any effort.

"However, since I've appointed Duo Lai as the Transportation Captain, I should evolve it further... At the very least, after evolving, its carrying capacity will significantly increase."

"Hmm, I'll go to the Association tomorrow and purchase some Remnant Souls of small Slimes."

Controlling his character to return to the territory, Mu Yuan rested.

He switched to the Tai Xuan Forum. What Newbie Zone players talked about the most was the Resource Assessment, which had received the most attention during this period.

One after another, slightly hopeful newbies were constantly engaging in Involution for this one spot. Some players from less affluent families even went bankrupt purchasing Remnant Souls just to compete for the resources distributed by the Association.

After all, the more common players wanted to pass the trial, the more they needed to seize the opportunity of official welfare.

Mu Yuan thought to himself, he had a little bit of evolutionary ability, so he was confident in surviving the Lord Trial. But a common player who could pass the Lord Trial without official welfare... It wasn't impossible, just more conspicuous.

Besides, who didn't love free welfare?

As a poor common person, Mu Yuan was quite envious of this valuable welfare.

"Leaving aside defensive units for now, it is said that the newbie support package provided by the officials also includes Miracle Blueprints for defensive buildings."

Of course, it couldn't be a Rare Grade Miracle Blueprint like the Mage Tower, but even a Common Grade Miracle Blueprint was valuable and had a huge effect. And he, not to mention the problem of not being able to afford it, didn't even have the channels to purchase it.

Mu Yuan seriously suspected that the Trading Area he saw on the forum was merely the 'Newbie, Common Old Player' Trading Area. He had never seen things like Miracle Blueprints. Of course, it was also possible that Lord-type goods had strategic value and were controlled.

It was estimated that only by mixing into the Lord circle could he buy these goods.

Mu Yuan was very envious of blueprints and general resources like Soul Sand.

"Not only that, but after passing the assessment, the officials will disclose some Lord information to players, including key points for territory construction, territory upgrade conditions, how to obtain high-quality residents, and so on."

"This information is even more important to me."

The Eternal World naturally had common people, but his territory was in the wilderness, and he couldn't even see a few player figures, let alone common people.

Within the cities of Great Lords, countless residents lived.

Common civilians can handle various jobs, filling the gaps left by combat-only units. High-quality residents... encompass combat talents, research talents, production talents, management talents, and so on.

However, it seems that the common people of the Eternal World are not only born through reproduction but also have many other sources.

Perhaps only after he passes the Resource Assessment and even becomes a true Lord will he be qualified to learn about these.

The assessment day for Baiyun Province is tomorrow.

On the forum, many Baiyun Province newbies are already getting nervous. Today is the sixth day since logging into the game. By this time, most newbies have already been rescued by the official teams and transferred to the Safe Cities established by the Great Lords. The remaining newbies are those who want to compete for resource benefits.

Many newbies aren't very confident, but what if they pass? What if the other newbies in the same period aren't great? Wouldn't they then have a chance to stand out?

It's worth a shot!

If they don't get a spot, they can strategically retreat later.

The newbies are all seizing the last night, putting in their best effort to have their main forces cultivate, striving to break through another small level.

They are also constantly gathering information on the level of their peers through the forum to make some judgments.

Mu Yuan wasn't particularly nervous, but he also needed to figure out what level was needed to get the benefits for free and... not be too outstanding.
