The Lord is So Nice

The spacious Underground Training Ground was illuminated like daytime by numerous large lights.

Mu Yuan stood in the middle of the Training Field, extending his hand and lightly tapping the empty space in front of him.

Buzz—

Mysterious patterns outlined an ancient-looking door.

The door creaked open, and a round figure rolled out from within, landing face-first.

"Guji?"

It was stunned for a moment, then noticed the sparkling lights all around.

Sparkling!

"Wait, not this."

Mu Yuan pulled back the glutton and pointed to the Steel Bars piled on one side of the Training Field. "But I've prepared a hearty dinner for you today, you can eat your fill."

The Steel Bars also shone brightly under the lights, and Duo Lai immediately took a liking to them.

It liked sparkling, valuable things, and it also liked to eat a lot. This was double the happiness!

It bounced over to the pile of Steel Bars, shaped a pair of arms, and picked up one of them.

"Guji?" Can I really eat this?

Seriously!

Duo Lai began to hug the Steel Bar, crunching and sending it into its mouth. As if eating spicy strips, the Steel Bar visibly shortened as it was sent into its mouth. In a short while, one spicy strip... no, one Steel Bar was gnawed or rather, devoured completely.

This was the first time Mu Yuan had seen Duo Lai eat like this after its talent truly awakened.

It was very fast, unlike back then... just a few days ago, it would choke on even small scraps. Since that was the case, he didn't need to worry about Duo Lai getting indigestion from eating Steel Bars.

After all, as a creature from the Eternal World, Duo Lai was supposed to devour minerals from there, such as Black Iron Stone. But he, Great Lord Mu, couldn't afford that.

So, he chose cheap steel from the real world, focusing on cost-effectiveness.

He had to be thrifty.

Duo Lai, still not satisfied after eating one Steel Bar, cast an inquiring look at him again.

Mu Yuan affirmed, "Eat, you can eat all of it as long as you can eat it."

Really?

Duo Lai's big eyes sparkled with disbelief. The Lord was too kind!

"Of course, after you're full, you have to work hard, go outside and collect more materials, and contribute to the construction of the Territories. No problem with that, right?"

Duo Lai compared the two.

The Soul Sand was only a small piece, but the Steel Bar was a big one. The Lord was indeed very kind!

It nodded its head rapidly, its eyes clear and determined.

Duo Lai ultimately couldn't swallow all the steel bars. After all, it was still a Level 7 Bao Bao.

It might take some time before it could truly digest the materials it had swallowed.

Mu Yuan wasn't sure if it would be effective, but it wasn't too expensive, so he might as well try a little.

When he asked Duo Lai how it felt, the only response he got was a pair of confused, wide eyes.

"Let Undead Bone and Duo Lai communicate. This will also help the generals in the territories get along harmoniously."

Mu Yuan gave himself a thumbs up.

He was truly worried sick about this family.

In the following few days, Duo Lai continued to serve as the Transportation Captain and constantly swallowed steel bars, as well as undergoing training in Liquid Shaping.

It made rapid progress. Not only were the shapes more refined during shaping, but the range of deformation also greatly increased.

One day in the future, it was not impossible for Duo Lai to cover the sky with its giant palm and suppress everything.

Not only that, but its Steelization Power also began to show its edge. It could use this to shape sharp weapons, and when not needed, it could make itself soft from hard. However, it still needed to practice slowly to switch between them skillfully and freely.

"These past few days, the exploration teams haven't encountered any Goblin elites. It's as if they've vanished."

Of course, Mu Yuan hadn't forgotten the grudge of that Goblin arrow. The exploration andCrusade plans he had arranged these days were all heading north.

He was clearing out the monster groups blocking the path one by one, preparing for theCrusade plan.

While preparing, he also gained quite a few treasures from his repeated explorations.

The Remnant Souls and Soul Sand basically amounted to thousands, or even over a thousand, in income every day. However, his expenses were also high. The cultivation costs for each type of troop alone amounted to several hundred, not including the daily equipment maintenance and the troops' food and drink.

And even the Skeletons, who didn't need to eat, actually required energy intake to keep their soul fires burning.

It was just that compared to the Sentry Archers who needed to eat, drink, and excrete, the Skeletons indeed had lower requirements and were easier to maintain.

In addition, Mu Yuan also received many other treasures.

Crimson Blood Fruit, Abundant Fruit, Mind Calming Grass... He harvested various cultivation-type treasures one by one. Unfortunately, the territories did not yet have the conditions for planting.

He even harvested over twenty pieces of Black Iron Stone in a certain Cave Dweller's cave.

This could save him a sum of Contribution Points.

For some materials that had a grade but weren't very valuable, Mu Yuan was too lazy to materialize them in the real world to sell. He either stored them in the Warehouse for future use or fed them to Duo Lai to swallow and absorb.

After a few days, he also obtained three Rare Grade materials: 'Transformation Crystal', 'Green Radiance Gem', and 'Light-Guiding Tetrahedron'. Unfortunately, he didn't get the Elemental Orb he needed most.

He was reluctant to sell them. What if one day he obtained a rare blueprint that required these materials?

As soon as he entered the game, Mu Yuan saw several War Falcons soaring in the air, crying out. There were also a few busy outside, bringing the territories first-hand intelligence.

He reached out, and the number one War Falcon, 'A Falcon', flapped its wings and flew down, its majestic body stopping in front of him.

The next moment, Evolution Power enveloped it, and the first Falcon-type troop to enter the Rare Grade was born.

"Hurricane War Falcon (Rare ★)"

"Level: Zero Order Level 7"

"Skills: Shared Vision, Wind Speed"

A magnificent great bird, its body seemingly surrounded by faint azure flowing light, slowly appeared in the white light.

It had gained a new skill, 'Wind Speed', a skill that could control hurricanes to increase its own flight speed, and could also disrupt enemy formations.

"Very good."

"Hurricane War Falcons are already known for their speed, capable of leaving Gargoyles far behind at full speed. If they use Wind Speed, they can experience the thrill of flying like a bullet. Since that's the case..."

Mu Yuan turned his gaze to the north. On the other side of the mountain, beyond the thick mist, stood the massive Goblin Camp. He had never been able to clearly scout the specific situation of this camp.

Half a day later,

Flap—

After a period of practice, the Hurricane War Falcon, now familiar with its new skill, spread its wings and shot straight into the sky like an arrow.

The next moment, the shared vision opened before Mu Yuan.

The Hurricane War Falcon was extremely fast, and having just evolved, it soared very freely, as if invincible in the world.

Whoosh—

Three fierce Harpies appeared. They launched a sneak attack without any martial ethics, but the Hurricane War Falcon accelerated, stirring up a strong wind, and left the three Harpies out of sight before Mu Yuan could even see the details clearly.

A Falcon was no longer what it used to be!

Before long, the Goblin Camp, standing on a high ground, appeared in the Hurricane War Falcon's distant view.

There weren't many trees here, seemingly having been cut down by the Goblins, making the surrounding terrain appear open.

However, many Sentry Towers stood tall around the camp. Even if these Sentry Towers were not miraculous buildings, Goblin Spearmen standing on them, looking down from a height and throwing Wooden Spears, still held a great advantage.

Several times before, the War Falcon didn't even dare to approach, and if it flew too high, the thick fog would obstruct its vision.

Things change quickly.

A Falcon was back again.
