Resources

"Too slow, too slow!"

What Huang Long lacked most right now was money and resources. But it was only after turning wild boars into gold coins that he realized just how difficult gold was to obtain.

A level-one wild boar was worth only 65 gold coins, while a level-two leopard was worth only 178. Wasn't that practically a scam?

Huang Long dearly wanted to throw back his head and let out a long sigh.

"Frozen Frost Star!" A dense blue glow flashed from Huang Long's hand and enveloped the mottled giant tiger before him. Its status display showed that it was level four.

Boom!

A violent burst of ice erupted from the mottled giant tiger's body, instantly slowing it down considerably. The Troll Berserker's great blade also struck the tiger.

Screech!

The giant tiger turned into a corpse.

Buzz!

A golden light flashed out from Huang Long's body. After four hours of stopping and starting as he killed monsters, Huang Long had finally leveled up.

Host has leveled up. Randomly drawing a skill. Randomly drawing an item...

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the skill: Teleportation—

Teleportation: Can transport companions to a designated location.

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the weapon: Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker.

Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker: One-handed sword. Attacks enemies with the power of lightning, dealing Nature damage before striking the next nearby enemy. Each lightning jump lowers the target's Nature resistance. Your target will also be engulfed by a hurricane, reducing its attack speed.

"Damn it, I finally got a sword. It may not be the ultimate divine artifact Frostmourne, nor is it the broken cheat weapon Doom Blade, but it's still a pretty good divine weapon." Huang Long muttered. Though the sword's attributes were extremely powerful, he still felt somewhat regretful.

After all, the power of those two swords was outrageously strong. If he had obtained either of them, his strength would have increased countless times over.

But he was only level one now. He had no idea what the highest level in this world was. Upgrading the base required 10 gold coins and 10 resources.

What a perverted system. Was this some kind of joke? Huang Long grumbled inwardly.

Those four elves had just finished being created and were all sent to mine gold. Things were looking better now: he had 600 gold and 5,000 resources. Although he had somewhat more resources at the moment, Huang Long did not dare use them carelessly. He had yet to find a source of resources, so he needed to conserve this water from a springless well.

An elf has discovered a copper mine. Due to the special nature of the mine, its value is twice that of an ordinary mine. Reserves: 1,000. It can accommodate ten elves. Each elf can mine 100 resources per hour.

"Hoo!" Upon hearing this news, Huang Long, who had been worrying about resources, let out a deep breath. The heart that had been lodged in his throat finally relaxed. "Luckily, resources exist in this world. Otherwise, I really would have been helpless!"

With that thought, Huang Long put the matter out of his mind. Now that resources had been found, it was no longer a problem. A delighted smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself, Let's try out the wonders of Teleportation!

The Human Archmage's ultimate skill was rather overpowered throughout Warcraft. Whenever a battle began, a single Teleportation would send a whole group straight to the enemy base. If they could not win, they could simply leave right away. It was just as shameless as the Blademaster's Wind Walk.

"Teleportation, target—main base."

Bang! Bang! Bang! A huge magic formation appeared beneath Huang Long's feet. Then, with a flash of rippling light, Huang Long and his three summoned beasts vanished.

Beside the Tree of Life, another ripple appeared, and Huang Long's figure dropped directly onto the ground.

Huang Long wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fright lingered in his heart as he took several deep breaths before barely suppressing the turmoil within him.

"What a terrifying feeling. Is this spatial transportation? It's freaking awesome. Anyone without a strong heart really couldn't endure that kind of stimulation. Looks like I'll have to train more in the future. Otherwise, if I run into danger someday and can't use this life-saving method, then I'll truly deserve it!" Huang Long mused inwardly.

There were people born to be warriors, people born to be strategists, people born to be merchants, and people born to be leaders...

"There are still sixty-eight hours left. Time is running out. Create five more elves. Five elves are mining gold now, while elves are mining resources. One elf will become an Ancient of War. We have to develop at full speed, so we need enough manpower. At the very least, we need a small force! Otherwise, there's no way to survive on this unknown continent!" Huang Long had already calculated everything. His only task now was to keep leveling up and prepare the necessary buildings.

Boom! Another Frozen Frost Star struck. In this short day, Huang Long had killed who knew how many small beasts—level three, level two, and even some level-one beasts were not spared.

Huang Long had been considering what criteria the system used to determine whether he could level up, but he had found no answer. It had become a faint source of unease in his heart. On the surface, Huang Long trusted the Warcraft Elf System completely, but after spending many years in society, he deeply understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Thus, he remained highly guarded against this Warcraft Elf System of unknown origin.

Another full day passed. Huang Long had now been in this unfamiliar world for twenty-four hours, and the Ancient of War had finally been completed.

Ancient of War: Where Night Elf warriors reside. Outstanding Night Elf warriors can be trained here.

Archer: Archers hold an irreplaceable position in the Night Elves' scouting units. Each of these brave female warriors is a master archer. They move through the dense forests of Kalimdor, and few warriors can match their lightning-fast agility. Like all female Night Elves, Archers can become invisible at night. Initial level: 1. Can be upgraded. Training cost: 100 gold.

Huntress: Cannot be trained yet.

Basic Glaive Thrower: Cannot be constructed yet.

"Hehe, after a day of hard work, it's finally time for me, Huang Long, to start exploding into action!" A smug curve rose at the corner of Huang Long's lips as a plan formed in his heart.

Huang Long now possessed 8,100 gold and 4,600 resources. It was already an extremely abundant amount.

Now it was time to construct the most important building. It was you! Huang Long suppressed the intense excitement in his heart and clicked the construction button for the Altar of Elders on the control panel.

Heroes of the Night Elf faction, awaken from your ancient slumber!
