Immersed in the world of magic, Qin Muye had completed his studies of the Elf Spider Queen, Nightmare Knight, and the associated knowledge by the next day.
With an impressive Attribute of 61 in Knowledge and enhanced Learning Ability and Academic Research Talents, the progress was indeed fast, especially since these two beast-human systems were much more complex than the Spirit Monster system.
Spirit Monsters are merely basic Troops; if it weren't for Qin Muye, they would likely never reach such heights in a lifetime.
However, the Elf Spider Queen and Nightmare Knight are rare Professions, not Troops.
The three are completely different levels of beast-humans.
Therefore, he planned to sell the professions of Elf Spider Queen and Nightmare Knight, mainly because the restrictions were too great, limited to the Elf Clan.
The Nightmare Knight might be a bit cheaper, but the Elf Spider Queen would be more expensive. It wasn't that Qin Muye favored females over males, but rather that he was selling the Elf Spider Queen Profession as a package, which included the Elf Spider Troop and associated Treasures, basically providing everything from top to bottom.
The packed deal was hard to sell, mainly because the Troop was at the second Level, and Lords who could afford it were usually at the third or fourth Level already, probably not interested in a second-level Troop.
And how many second-level Lords could afford it? It's not like everyone was cheating.
Nonetheless, Qin Muye still decided to list them on the Trading House.
He didn't ask much, the rare Profession of Nightmare Knight required 5000 units of four kinds of Special Resources each, and the bundled Elf Spider Queen set required 10,000 units of each of the four kinds of Special Resources.
He was not aware of the market conditions, but he knew that he had mastered both resources, and they were just sitting in his hands if unused.
It was impossible for him to recruit members of the Elf Clan; he could only trade them for Special Resources.
Qin Muye had also considered trading for the four Elemental Cores to repair the Magic Pool, but ultimately he chose not to, since he did not know the effect of the Magic Pool; it might be a core building, but it wasn't the most urgent matter.
He needed Special Resources to enhance his building Levels, and with the 15,000 units of these four Special Resources credited plus the ones he had saved up, he could immediately upgrade all his building levels to LV3, including the basic buildings in the Points Store that had not yet been exchanged to LV3.
So, between the Magic Pool and monetization, Qin Muye chose monetization.
After listing, someone instantly purchased them, generously sending a total of 60,000 units of Special Resources to his warehouse, fortunately, he had upgraded his Supplies Warehouse to LV3 beforehand.
"It seems the price was set too low, I underestimated those top-ranked tycoons," Qin Muye shook his head. Although he felt the price was too low, in reality, it was already a significant profit for him.
The current market in the Trading House was chaotic; prices were basically not fixed, and being able to sell was pretty good, let alone these items were of no further use to him.
Even if he wanted them, as long as he had members of the Elf Clan and the corresponding giant spiders and Nightmare steeds, he could alter and create the Nightmare Knight and Elf Spider Queen himself, but without Elf subordinates, these two items would just sit idle.
They couldn't breed more either, essentially serving no purpose.
After receiving the items, Qin Muye naturally upgraded all his buildings to LV3, and the resources in the Supplies Warehouse drastically reduced.
However, he was not bothered, for wealth leaves but brings happiness; in terms of enhancing the power of his territory, Qin Muye was quite generous.
"1771 Spirit Monsters, by tomorrow, I should be able to complete 1000 Frenzy Blood Spirit Monsters and 100 Evil Curse Spirit Monsters, and then we can set off."
As for the remaining 671 Spirit Monsters, they naturally stayed at home to work. If the restrictions weren't too big, he would have liked to keep 6000 Spirit Monsters working. Besides, Qin Muye still had to equip these 1100 Spirit Monsters with Basic Treasures. For instance, Blood Warriors were the standard Equipment, but Evil Curse Spirit Monsters were different; they could not wear them for long, whereas the Mage Apprentice Set was more appropriate.
The attributes were the same as the standard equipment, but lighter and more suitable for the mage-type troops.
This was also a significant expense, but Qin Muye bit the bullet and bought it. If it wasn't for the lack of resources, he would have even provided them with mounts.
He had exchanged for a stable and upgraded it to LV3, but without horses, it was just like a farm: you need to have not only the building but also the corresponding materials, and his paddock was also empty.
There were many similar buildings, but they were not useless-they could provide a bonus to the corresponding resource production, otherwise why would he build these things for no reason?
The main core was to buff.
The resource buildings had already been upgraded to LV3. Now, with all the amplification buildings, the daily output of ordinary resources had doubled.
[Food: Daily output 23425]
[Minerals: Daily output 7500]
[Wood: Daily output 7500]
[Gold Coins: Daily output 75000]
With this wave, as long as the crops from the farms didn't fail, he could still afford to keep these 1771 spirit monsters.
As for special resources, it was still 180, after all, there were no corresponding amplification buildings, and that was unavoidable.
If all these amplification buildings were fully staffed with troops, the daily increase in output would be even higher. Unfortunately, due to the need for food, he had to assign most of the spirit monsters to farming.
This was probably a planning and management problem for Qin Muye, likely with many hidden risks, but he had no choice. He was only a semi-pro, not a real talent, so he had to make do and hang on as long as things didn't explode.
Now he was self-sufficient, and unless he encountered a frustrating weekly event or the unpredictable annual Red Wind Disaster, there was no need to worry about mishaps.
As for hidden risks, as long as nothing happened, it wasn't really a concern. They could deal
with it later when he had professional management talent.
After that, Qin Muye dove back into his studies, for what else could he do?
Surely he couldn't go exercise his body?
That would be too troublesome. Better to master all the knowledge in the Mage
Reclassification Certificate first.
Once he had enough knowledge, he would then perform surgery on himself. While others
cultivated for thousands of years, Qin Muye could transform himself into a powerhouse using
massive amounts of resources.
Talents rely on cultivation, the poor rely on mutation, and rich reservists like Qin Muye could
only rely on technology.
Although magic is not scientific, it still has traces to follow.
This was the most suitable path for Qin Muye, a homebody, to become stronger. Once his own
power was strong, wouldn't everything else come easily to him?
It would be unreasonable to abandon his own advantages and then suffer through external battles and conflicts.
Development should capitalize on strengths, not rely on weaknesses.
It was precisely because he played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses that he
survived the recent monster siege event and even made it into the top hundred.
