Chapter 19: Trash

Time flew by as the Skeleton Soldiers forged crazily. In just five hours, sabers, longswords, axes, bows, arrows, and thousands of different weapons and agricultural tools were all forged. They were piled up in an empty space at the side, waiting for Fang Ping to assign them to their places.

Looking at the gleaming weapons, Fang Ping did not doubt the sharpness of these weapons at all.

Although he knew that the Skeleton Soldiers did not have their own consciousness, Fang Ping still wanted to hand over the right to choose their own weapon to the Skeleton Soldiers. He would allow them to pick up the weapons and armor themselves.

He wanted to see if they would still have the instincts, which were engraved in their bones when they were born as humans, after they became Skeleton Soldiers and lost their consciousness. He wanted to see if they would be driven to pick up the killing weapons from the instincts engraved in their bones and genes.

However, the reality was completely different from what Fang Ping had expected.

After he gave the order, the Skeleton Soldiers walked straight to the armor. After putting on the armor that fitted their white bones, they stood beside the pile of weapons in a daze. They looked at the various weapons blankly, but they did not move at all.

Seeing this scene, Fang Ping immediately lost hope in the Skeleton Soldiers. It seemed that their past had completely disappeared after they turned into Skeleton Soldiers and had nothing to do with them anymore.

Then, Fang Ping let them pick up weapons similar to their original bone weapons and continue hunting wild beasts outside the territory to gather resources to deal with the upcoming first territory assessment.

He was not idle either. He knew that he was just an empty shell with powerful strength. His actual combat experience was almost zero.

He wanted to ensure that he would not become a weakling who only dared to hide in his territory in the future.

For the past few days, Fang Ping had been holding wooden weapons and practicing actual combat with the Purgatory Skeleton Soldiers who had rich combat experience.

Although he had suffered some superficial injuries during the process, due to the enhancement of his physical fitness, the self-healing ability that came along with it ensured that he did not take long to recover.

In exchange for this physical pain, Fang Ping could already deal with the Purgatory Skeleton Soldiers freely. He could even seize the opportunity to counterattack and repel the Purgatory Skeleton Soldiers.

This was the result of Fang Ping’s countless injuries during the seven-day novice protection period.

The sun set and the moon rose.

A day passed in the blink of an eye as Fang Ping fought the Purgatory Skeleton Soldiers.

Although he had a self-healing ability that far exceeded that of ordinary people, his mental fatigue could not be healed by this ability.

Dressed in clothes covered in sword scars, Fang Ping walked slowly back to the Shadow Dragon Villa. After taking a hot shower, he was so exhausted that he did not have the mood to look at the message board in the Trading Area.

After putting up the meat and clean water he had hunted today, he closed the virtual interface and lay down on the warm bedding to fall asleep.

However, not long after he fell asleep, when the clock on the wall had just struck midnight, the notification of the Myriad Races Battlefield that had spread throughout the novice territories suddenly rang out. It was especially loud, waking Fang Ping up from his sleep.

“Attention, all new Overlords in the Myriad Races Battlefield.”

“Today is the seventh and last day of the novice protection period.”

“Due to the arrival of the Chaos Ominous Beasts tonight, the entire world will be filled with hostility. As a result, the strength of the beasts outside your territory will increase by 30% from this hostility. They will become extremely powerful and bloodthirsty.”

“Therefore, the situation tonight will be several times more dangerous than usual. All novice Overlords, please don’t go out tonight and prepare for defense.”

A loud notification sounded in the territory of all the novice Overlords.

Originally, many novice Overlords wanted to rely on the last day to work all night, hunt wild beasts, and gather resources. However, all their thoughts were now gone. They immediately fell asleep. The novice Overlords who worked all night to gather resources instantly woke up and let out despairing cries.

Meanwhile, Fang Ping was not surprised at all. After all, he had seen this routine many times in online games. In his previous life, almost all tower defense and construction-type games had this routine.

On the other hand, he was infuriated by the loud notification which woke him up from his slumber. After cursing toward the roof, he turned around and fell asleep again.

However, what Fang Ping did not know was that the girl who was working with him to trade for refined iron was also feeling extremely flustered and afraid because of the sudden notification from the Myriad Races Battlefield.

She kept sending Fang Ping private messages, but Fang Ping had already fallen asleep. He even turned off the notifications, causing all the private messages sent by the young girl to sink into the sea. It was only after Fang Ping woke up and opened the virtual interface to check on the situation of the new Overlords last night that he saw her private messages.

The warm morning sun shone on the ground. Unlike the other novice Overlords who wailed and had been troubled for the entire night, Fang Ping was enjoying his breakfast at the moment. He did not care about the crisis that the Myriad Races Battlefield had hinted at yesterday.

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Fang Ping lay on the sofa and opened the virtual interface. He was ready to see if anyone had sent him a friend request after yesterday’s night.

He wanted to see if anyone wanted to sell items with long-term development potential in exchange for Spirit Stones. This was to increase the strength of their territory and deal with the upcoming first territory test.

However, before Fang Ping could open the virtual interface to check if there were any deals he could take advantage of, the private messages sent by the young girl blocked the entire virtual interface.

Fang Ping thought that something had happened to the girl, so he immediately opened the message board and sent an inquiry message.

“What’s wrong? Is something the matter?”

“Is there a problem with the supply of refined iron?”

Meanwhile, the pessimistic girl who had been waiting in front of the virtual interface was extremely anxious. When she saw Fang Ping’s reply, she immediately replied.

“God, there’s nothing wrong with the refined iron. It’s me.”

“Didn’t you hear the notification from the Myriad Races Battlefield?”

“The strength of the wild beasts will increase by 30% tonight. Furthermore, this is only the beginning of the test. It’s caused by the gradual spread of hostility.”

When Fang Ping saw the girl’s message, he felt extremely confused. He did not know what the girl wanted to say.

“I heard the notification, but so what?”

The young girl looked at Fang Ping’s reply as if she had seen something unbelievable. She hurriedly replied.

“God, just the slight leakage of hostility from the test can increase the strength by 30%. Thirty percent!”

“When the test really begins, how terrifying will the Chaos Ominous Beasts that assess us be?!”

Looking at the girl’s reply, Fang Ping’s heart did not waver. Under the enhancement of the powerful construction attributes, if he could not pass the first territory test, he would be trash.

Instead of embarrassing himself in the future and being mocked by others, it was better to kill himself directly. This way, he would still have some dignity.
