Chapter 19 : First Friend
Bai Yu hurriedly checked on Arthur's stats.
[Skeletal Dragon King (Arthur)]
[Unit Type: Undead]
[Loyalty: 100% (Will never betray you)]
[Unit Tier: Normal]
[Level: lv 5 (Can be improved with kills)]
[Health: None (Undead trait, cannot die unless the soul’s fire is extinguished)]
[Mana: 100]
[Strength: 50+10]
[Stamina: None]
[Agility: 50+10]
[Growth Limit: Divine Tier]
[Active Skills: Nether Dragon Breath]
[Passive Skills: Elemental Magic Immunity, Dragon's Might]
[Dragon's Might: Forms an intangible mental pressure on creatures of a lower tier, weakening their magic and physical defenses.]
[Enhancement: Complete enhancement, the burning Nether Fire increases soul defense, hardened bones improve physical defense, unlock Dragon's Might, all stats +10 points.]
So strong!
Bai Yu was directly stunned. The Black Water Altar's enhancement boosted Arthur's soul and physical defenses. Combined with its existing elemental magic immunity, Arthur was now even more tanky.
Arthur also gained a new passive skill, Dragon's Might, which could reduce an enemy's defenses.
This directly snowballed everything, it's just a huge buff!
Increased defenses while decreasing the enemy's defense, meant it would hurt attacking them, but they wouldn't be able to hit back.
Arthur also reached level 5 and his stats were 20 points higher than when it was level 3. Adding the 10 points from the enhancement, Arthur's stats now reached a terrifying 60 points.
Prioritizing Arthur leveling up really was the right move. Arthur could rely on its aerial advantage to fly out of the territory's range, and combined with the undead trait, basically meant there was no worry of it dying.
Just don’t be stupid and fly to the snowy mountain.
Frost dragons should probably hold back if they see their kin, right?
No wait, skeletal dragons were no longer part of the dragon clan. It was now an undead, so it should be considered as a part of the undead clan.
It was said that dragons really hated undead dragons...
It's over. If that frost dragon sees Arthur, it'll probably go crazy.
But this didn't mean that skeletal dragons were weaker than living dragons. Just wait for Arthur to grow up, just watch us beat you up!
“Arthur, how do you feel?”
Bai Yu tilted her little head and looked up at the tall Arthur.
“Your Majesty, Arthur feels even stronger now!”
Arthur respectfully bowed and said.
“Arthur, keep leveling up!”
There was nothing for Arthur to do here anymore. Enhancing was already done, so it shouldn't be holed up in the castle anymore and quickly go take advantage of the unlimited stamina buff.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Arthur spread its fiery wings and flew out of the castle.
Bai Yu didn’t have much to do now, she just needed to wait for the skeletons to finish their work. Bai Yu familiarly opened up the world chat, planning to check out the lords' conversations and pass the time.
Bai Yu was someone with a slight OCD, there couldn't be any red dots on her system interface. Bai Yu clicked on them one by one.
Clicking on the system prompt, there were many skeletons kill prompts, notifying her that she got experience points.
[Your units killed an enemy lord's unit, gained 30 experience points.]
[Your units killed an enemy lord's unit, gained 30 experience points.]
...
(O.O) Ah?!!
When was this?
Bai Yu looked completely confused, but the kill prompts didn't specific the enemy lord's unit type of name, so Bai Yu was clueless as well.
Wait a second! Bai Yu suddenly remembered what Arthur just said, the four Scarlet Blood Demon Apes were surrounding the Armored Demon Pangolin, and the Scarlet Blood Demon Apes didn't drop food...
Could it be that those Scarlet Blood Demon Apes were another lord's units?!!
Bro, I'm really sorry, it really wasn't on purpose!
Bai Yu silently apologized in her heart.
It's over, it's over. Not only did I offend the Howling Moon Silver Wolves from the snowy mountain, but I also offended another lord.
Huh, wait a minute, since Arthur can easily take down this lord's troops, why should I be afraid?
Once the newbie protection period was over, if he didn't accept her apology, then she'll just send him off to reunite with his grandma! Hmph.
A guy can be sent to be reunited, but Bai Yu needed to think it over if it was a girl, hehe.
In other words, aside from that unlucky fellow townsman, there was also another lord nearby!
I wonder if he’s discovered me. The level 5 Scarlet Blood Demon Apes shouldn't have much mobility, and this lord's castle probably wasn't even as big as her's.
From a rough guess, the Scarlet Blood Demon Apes were probably only two or three thousand meters from their castle. Then plus their territory size, as well as the wilderness between them and Bai Yu's own territory size.
It should be around, uh... how much again?
Then Bai Yu drew some scribbles on the ground. Hmm, the straight line distance between the two castles was about twenty kilometers, so it could be considered to be really close.
“A goblin tribe, and the Howling Moon Silver Wolves, plus this lord. One is to get revenge for my fellow townsman, and the other two probably want to get revenge on me.”
Bai Yu took note of all of them, she'll deal with them one by one later.
Bai Yu felt that Arthur should be able to handle the goblin tribe now. But since Bai Yu had never seen a high level commander tier enemy, she wasn’t certain how strong they really were.
Just to play it safe, she decided to let Arthur level up some more. Anyway, there was the newbie protection period. If she didn't leave the castle, what could they do!
As of right now, that [Great Heavenly Sage] had long stopped ranting in the world chat. Plus with so many lords spamming all at once, the messages flew by so fast that you basically couldn't read them without pausing.
[You received a private message!]
No way they're coming for me, right?!
The guilty feeling Bai Yu was startled by the sudden message notification.
Bai Yu opened it to take a look and then relaxed. It turned out to be someone looking to buy food.
[The Orphan of Zhao]: "Krabby Patty boss, do you still have extra food? I need 500, still at your original price. I'll use stone to trade for it all."
[Krabby Patty]: "None right now, need to wait until night."
[The Orphan of Zhao]: "Then can I add you as a friend? It'll be more convenient to trade. I've tried adding you many times before but was rejected every time."
Bai Yu awkwardly scratched her head. Because there were just too many people requesting to add her as a friend every day, Bai Yu didn't even think about it before directly rejecting them all.
A big order was coming, hehe!
Bai Yu was celebrating.
Bai Yu accepted [The Orphan of Zhao]'s friend request, and [The Orphan of Zhao] successfully became the first friend on Bai Yu’s friend list.
[The Orphan of Zhao]: "Thanks boss!"
[Krabby Patty]: "You look like you don't lack resources. There's quite a bit of food being listed on the trading hub, why not just buy from there?"
Bai Yu asked the question she had been curious about. Bai Yu wasn't worried about him running away. After all, there were billions of lords out there, it didn't have to be him. This small quantity of food sold by Bai Yu could easily be digested so there was no need to worry about it not selling.
