Everyone Became Lords: I Became A Base-Building Fanatic - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Sleepwalking

After Fang Ping clicked on the upgrade button, the Undead Summoning Spell on the interface began to flash rapidly. A few seconds later, a brand new Undead Summoning Spell interface appeared in front of Fang Ping

[Undead Summoning Spell]

(Level: Level-3]

(Upgrade Requirements: Spirit Stone 0/40, Mysterious Fruit 0/2]

[Post-Upgrade: Forty Skeleton Soldiers, three Skeleton Dogs, and an additional 20% chance to summon other races.)

Looking at the conditions for the upgraded Undead Summoning Skill, Fang Ping smiled and nodded.

Although he still needed Mysterious Fruits, after leveling up, there were more Skeleton Soldiers, the number of Skeleton Dogs had stabilized, and the summoning rate of other races had increased by 20%.

When he added the 10% rate of summoning other races from the previous upgrade, the total probability was 30%. There was roughly a one in three chance of summoning other races. Thus, Fang Ping didn’t believe that he could not summon intelligent summoned creatures.

At this thought, Fang Ping walked toward the pile of bones in the city. After solemnly reciting the Undead Summoning Spell, he looked at the piles of bones in front of him with anticipation, hoping that his luck would be slightly better and he could summon intelligent Undead creatures at once.

As Fang Ping recited the spell, under his expectant gaze, 29 Skeleton Soldiers slowly walked out of the pile of bones and stood uniformly in front of Fang Ping. Looking at the 29 Skeleton Soldiers in front of him, Fang Ping’s heart immediately turned cold. There was only one creature left to be summoned. Between the Skeleton Dog and the other races, he did not think that his luck would allow him to obtain the latter.

Disappointed, Fang Ping did not even have the patience to look at the magic array that had appeared beside the Skeleton Soldiers. If not for the fact that he still had to assign missions to all the summoned creatures, Fang Ping would have long returned to the Shadow Dragon Villa to sleep.

Just as Fang Ping was about to lose his patience and the magic array dissipated, a creature covered in armor suddenly appeared, standing where the magic array had been.

When Fang Ping saw this creature that was completely different from the Skeleton Dogsappear in the team of Skeleton Soldiers, the disappointment on his face immediately turned into joy. His eyes were filled with anticipation as he opened the unknown creature’s attribute list.

(Undead Summoned Creature: Elite Skeleton]

(Strength: Level-3]

[Intelligence: Level-2]

(Note: This is a low-leveled commander in the Undead army. It has the intelligence of an ordinary person and can command 300 Skeleton Soldiers to carry out a group battle.)

Looking at the Elite Skeleton’s attribute interface, the excitement in Fang Ping’s heart exploded.

“I just said that I was the most unlucky. I didn’t expect that I would actually strike gold at some point in time. Oh yeah!!”

Excited, Fang Ping ran up to the Elite Skeleton and kept fumbling with the hideous bone armor that covered its entire body. He was strikingly similar to a boorish pervert who would act like this when he saw beautiful women.

Fortunately, the Elite Skeleton did not have a gender. Its loyalty toward Fang Ping was also maxed out. Otherwise, if it was a different type of soldier, their bottom line of loyalty would have been broken by now. They would have picked up his personal weapon or rebelled and killed their master with their fists.

Fang Ping, who had been excitedly exploring the Elite Skeleton for quite some time, finally calmed down. At the same time, he felt that his actions were indeed a little perverted. He pretended to cough and quietly moved back to his previous position. Then, he spoke in a strong and calm tone.

“Elite Skeleton, when you were summoned, you should have been instilled with the situation of our territory.”

“Although we had already passed the first territory test, the Chaos Clouds that protected us had already dissipated. The surrounding territories, wild beasts, and other races will definitely discover our location.”

“Therefore, I need you to lead three Purgatory Skeleton Soldiers and 50 ordinary Skeleton Soldiers to explore the surroundings of the territory. When you discover other powers, don’t alert them. After recording the location, quickly come back and report to me. Do you understand?”

Receiving Fang Ping’s order, the Elite Skeleton walked up to Fang Ping from the Skeleton formation and hammered their chest armor with their left hand, replying to Fang Ping in an extremely hoarse voice.

“Honorable Undead Lord, I understand. I promise to complete the mission you assigned.”

Although its voice was unpleasant to the ears, its intelligent reaction made Fang Ping feel extremely relaxed.

He finally did not have to spend so much effort to teach the ordinary Skeleton Soldiers basic knowledge. The situation when he was teaching the Skeleton Soldiers during this period of time had almost driven him crazy. However, now that the Elite Skeleton had arrived, he would let the Elite Skeleton teach his stupid clansmen.

“Alright, since you understand, bring the Skeleton Soldiers behind you to the weapon forging shop and collect the corresponding weapons. Then, set off to explore the surroundings of the territory.”

“Yes, Honorable Undead Lord. I’ll take my leave.”

As soon as the Elite Skeleton finished speaking, it led the 29 ordinary Skeleton Soldiers Fang Ping had summoned with it towards the weapon forging shop and advanced quickly.

Fang Ping looked at the ordinary Skeleton Soldiers following behind the Elite Skeleton in an orderly manner. A heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

This made Fang Ping even more curious about the intelligent species that could be summoned at the next level of the Undead Summoning Spell. He immediately opened the Trading Area and put up 20 Spirit Stones in his shop, hoping that someone could trade a Mysterious Fruit with him again.

Just as Fang Ping was about to exit the message board of the Trading Area, he suddenly saw his private message display more than 999 messages. It was almost overflowing with private messages, making Fang Ping extremely curious.

If someone in the private message had Mysterious Fruits and was willing to exchange it with him, he might not have to wait for the Spirit Stones in his shop to be exchanged. He could quickly obtain the Mysterious Fruits needed and upgrade the Undead Summoning Spell. When Fang Ping opened his private messages, all he saw were private messages exchanging various resources for Spirit Stones. None of them were about the Mysterious Fruit.

Therefore, Fang Ping could only exchange the excess Spirit Stones in his hands for a large amount of building materials he needed, as well as materials that could only be used after secondary forging.

After closing the private message window, Fang Ping looked at the building materials displayed on the interface, as well as various rare minerals. He opened the System Mall excitedly to check which buildings met his requirements and resource standards.

Due to Fang Ping’s clear purpose, he quickly found various furnaces and forging-type buildings suitable for his current stage in the support building category. After finding the appropriate blueprints, Fang Ping immediately gathered the remaining Skeleton Soldiers in the territory and began to let them build the construction items crazily according to the blueprints he had chosen.

Fang Ping, who had been busy all night, finally finished all the preparations. Exhausted, Fang Ping’s eyelids immediately began to droop after he relaxed. He could no longer suppress the drowsiness in his mind. After returning to the Shadow Dragon Villa as if he had been sleepwalking, he lay on the bedding and fell into a deep sleep.
