After taking care of these tedious affairs, Qin Feng led Diablo into the newly constructed Warrior Training Camp.
The interior was wide open and fully equipped with all sorts of training gear. The overall style, however, was coarse, reminiscent of a dieval barracks. Its wooden frawork and ramd-earth walls were crude, but they emanated an ancient, somber air.
Following the guidance of the ochre murals on the walls, Qin Feng picked up a wooden axe and a Round Shield from a corner. He began to train, slowly mimicking the slashing and blocking postures of the warriors depicted in the paintings.
Instantly, the wooden axe let out a soft SWISH as it cut through the air. The dull thud of the shield striking a pine target echoed throughout the empty barracks, startling dust motes on the beams into a swirling dance within the columns of light.
A pale blue system prompt eventually appeared in the center of Qin Feng’s Field of View.
[After one hour of focused training, your "One-Handed Weapon Proficiency" has increased. Your "Shield Guard Proficiency" has increased.]
Seeing this, Qin Feng stopped to catch his breath and slumped down against a nearby corner. He let beads of sweat roll from his temples and drip onto the ramd-earth floor, instantly leaving small, dark patches.
’Tsk?’
’How should I put this?’
’There’s only one word for it: magical!’
’I’ve clearly only been training for an hour, but my muscles ache as if I’ve been swinging a wooden axe for three days straight. Every single tendon is screaming with fatigue!’
’This bizarre sensation, like my muscle mory was being forcibly compressed, feels as if the Crimson King activated its "Ti Deletion" ability right in front of , causing to skip over a part of my life like a cutscene.’
Of course, the results were definitely good.
Not only were both of my weapon proficiencies steadily increasing, but the feeling of a good, hard sweat was like a clear spring washing away all my fatigue and drowsiness, leaving only the satisfying ache that cos after a great workout.
He looked at Diablo, who had been standing guard by his side the entire ti.
"Diablo, you try it too. Train diligently for an hour, then tell how you feel."
Diablo imdiately replied in a deep voice,
"Yes, my Lord."
After a session of much more professional-looking slashes and blocks, a panting Diablo lowered his wooden axe and shield, his voice full of astonishnt.
"Incredible, my Lord!"
"Is this building also a creation of Divine Power?"
"I’ve only been training for an hour, but it feels like I’ve been here for three days straight! The effects are so much more pronounced!"
Qin Feng couldn’t help but nod.
"Mm-hmm. It’s just that magical."
"I’ve already arranged for n to go to the Poison Arrow Tribe and construct an identical building."
"When that’s done, your Ratman brethren can also use it to rapidly improve their Combat Skills and beco valiant Ratman Warriors, just like you."
Diablo quickly bowed in excitent and gratitude.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
Qin Feng waved his hand dismissively, signaling to Diablo that there was no need for such formality.
Then, he fell into deep thought.
’What about the Ratn who haven’t beco Ratman Warriors yet? If they constantly train in archery at the Archer Training Camp, or practice Shield Strikes at the Warrior Training Camp, could they unlock new Soldier Types, like "Ratman Archers" and "Ratman Warriors"?’
’And for those who are already Ratman Warriors, if they improve their diocre archery skills to the Ba Bow Level, will they automatically evolve into a completely new Upper-rank Soldier Type?’
As if sensing Qin Feng’s thoughts, a system prompt suddenly appeared.
[Notice: After prolonged archery training, one of your Ratman Warriors has discovered its hidden Archery Talent. It has been promoted to the corresponding hidden Cultural Soldier Type: "Ratman Archer Warrior (Known)"!]
[Note (1): Hidden Soldier Types are either "Known" or "Unknown." "Known" indicates that rare examples of promotions to this soldier type exist. "Unknown" indicates that while certain creatures can promote to this soldier type, no such examples have ever appeared in this Plane World, requiring players to uncover the information themselves.]
[Note (2): You can now spend 40 Dinars to directly promote eligible Ratman Warriors to Ratman Archer Warriors!]
...
[Soldier Na: Ratman Archer Warrior]
[Life Value: 56/56]
[Weapons: Shortbow (Green), Black Crystal Longsword (Blue), Small Round Shield (Green), Poison Arrow (Gray)]
[Equipnt: Black Crystal Plate Armor (Blue)]
[Mastered Skills: None]
[Assessnt of Normal State Power: Zero-star (Green)]
[Power Assessnt under King of War’s influence: Zero-star (Blue)]
[Description: A special type of Warrior within the Ratman Tribe that is extrely skilled at striking enemies with a bow. Its close-combat ability is in no way weaker than that of a Leader Level Ratman of the sa tier. However, due to a lack of suitable training grounds and the loss of archery techniques passed down from their ancestors, few Ratman Warriors ever grasp the true essence of archery and beco a true Archer Warrior.]
’Huh?’
’Archer Warrior?’
’Isn’t that the tribal title Diablo used to describe himself when he first introduced himself as a Ratman?’
’So that’s an Upper-rank Soldier Type?’
’Okay... that’s not important!’
’What’s important is that Ratman Warriors can apparently promote themselves through diligent training, becoming a higher-tier Upper-rank Soldier Type.’
’It’s just like those with the potential to be heroes, who haven’t yet awakened as a Divine Chosen One, can automatically beco a Heroic Unit through diligent training.’
’They don’t necessarily need to rely on a player’s "Divine Power" to improve themselves.’
’It makes sense, when I think about it.’
Before these Native Creatures were brainwashed into joining my Divine Chosen Legion, they were living, intelligent individuals in their own right.
They had always grown step by step—from Ratman Villagers to Ratman Reserve Soldiers, then to official Ratman Warriors, and finally to Leader Level Ratn.
Even now, as Divine Chosen Soldiers, they must have retained their original biological traits, allowing them to keep improving and growing through their own diligence and effort.
’But!’
’This Ratman Archer Warrior is really expensive, isn’t it?’
’It actually costs 40 Dinars?’
’Even though this new Soldier Type is like an enhanced version of a Leader Level Ratman, with ferocious close-combat abilities and equally impressive archery, its overall cost-effectiveness is still a bit low.’
Qin Feng stroked his chin, pondering for a mont before making a decision.
’Forget it.’
’I won’t spend the money to produce them for now.’
’I’ll just wait for the Ratman Warriors who have Archery Talent to awaken on their own.’
’As for the Ratman Leaders I planned on mass-producing for close-quarters urban combat and chaotic lees, I can put that plan on hold for now, too.’
’I should prioritize using Dinars to upgrade the Forest Wolves and Fire Foxes to expand my Cavalry and Mage units.’
’After all, those two Demon Beast units clearly aren’t conventional Soldier Types that Forest Wolves and Fire Foxes can promote into just through ’diligence’ and ’effort.’’
’anwhile, Leader Level Ratn can be ’fard’ for free using the various Military Training Camp buildings...’
’Oh, right.’
’I also need to hurry and recruit the Cultural Soldier Types from the Ratman Villages before the weekly recruitnt slots expire. I can’t just waste a dozen potential Ratman fighters.’
With this in mind, Qin Feng tapped on the virtual panel with his fingertip, quickly opening the Chat System and finding "Don’t Call MC" on his friends list.
’Upgrading veterans costs money, and recruiting new soldiers costs money. So where is all this money supposed to co from?’
’By calling for backup to conquer the Lost Secret Realm, of course!’
’Boss MC!’
’Carry !’
