"Boom!" A bonfire roared to life before Alex. She waved Arthur away and pulled out the raw at Sophie had sent: 17,900 units! Those resellers were quick to jump on that 5-unit profit margin. The more, the rrier! More orders, more profit for Alex.
The sheer volu of at was impressive. It was strange, though, how food placed in the castle warehouse remained in its original state, whether stored or taken out. No spoilage, no decay. Magic!
Alex summoned her 268 level 1 skeletons.
"168 of you, keep gathering firewood! More! More!"
"Yes, master!"
To the remaining 100, she said, "Co here. Hang so at on yourselves."
Skeletons, being all bones, had plenty of places to hang at. In their mouths, in their skulls, dangling from their ribs, held in their bony hands... each skeleton could carry at least 20 units. That was 2000 units of at ready for cooking!
"Now, walk into the fire!" Alex commanded. "Roast yourselves... and the at!"
It was a crazy idea, but it worked. No tools, no problem. The Undying Legion were immune to fire. They didn't even feel heat. Skeletons had no senses. Only soul attacks could truly harm them.
So, Alex marched her at-laden skeletons into the bonfire. A few minutes later, 2000 units of roasted at, ready to go. 20,000 wood in processing fees. Pure profit! Easier and faster than selling cooked at directly.
"I need more skeletons!" she thought. Faster cooking! She checked her stats.
**(Alex's stats, sa as before)**
Her 40 MP had fully regenerated. 20 summons! A 20% increase in processing speed!
"Corpses!" she thought. She needed corpses to summon. Where to find them? Arthur and John, of course! They were out hunting.
Alex used her castle's scouting ability. Level 6, 3000-ter radius. She could see anything within that range.
"Southwest, 800 ters... what's that? Giant pigs?"
Arthur and John were facing off against a herd of...
**[Pink Pig]**
**[Race: Native Monster]**
**[Life Tier: Normal]**
**[Level: Lv10]**
**[HP: 200]**
**[Strength: 10]**
**[Endurance: 10]**
"Level 10, but Normal Tier, so only 10 in each stat. No match for Arthur!" Arthur was level 3, with 18 in each stat. Even John, at level 1, had 6.
"Ti for so over-leveled hunting!" John roared.
Arthur, head held high, breathed a plu of fire into the sky. "Master wants us to level up fast. Over-leveled hunting is the quickest way!" A bit of pride was understandable for a God Tier creature. John wholeheartedly agreed. Over-leveled hunting was child's play for them.
Arthur charged, bony wings spread. "John, I'll lead the charge. You use Dragon Fla to cover my flanks. Don't let them escape!"
"Got it!" John replied, flapping his wings.
Arthur lunged, sinking his teeth into a pig's neck and snapping it with a sickening crunch.
**[Killed Level 10 Pink Pig, gained 20 experience (Over-level bonus)]**
Arthur tore through the pigs with teeth, claws, and wings. Despite their higher level, their stats were no match for his. He didn't use Dragon Fla because pigs, unlike chickens, had too much HP. A quick bite to the neck was much more efficient.
**(More pig kill notifications)**
John leveled up!
**[Skeletal Dragon (John)]**
**[Level: Lv2]**
**(Stats doubled)**
John, now with 12 in each stat, could actually hurt the pigs. He retracted his Dragon Fla and joined the lee.
"I'm here to help, bro!"
"Good timing!" Arthur replied, still rampaging through the herd.
With John's help, the slaughter accelerated. Arthur leveled up again!
**[Level: Lv4]**
**[Strength: 24]**
**[Endurance: 24]**
**[Spirit: 24]**
The pigs, with their asly 10 points in each stat, were being utterly decimated.
**(More pig kill notifications)**
Alex leveled up too! Minions' kills granted experience to their lord. She was now level 3. She checked her MP.
**[MP: 60 (1 per minute)]**
A bit disappointing. More MP, but the sa slow regeneration. "Do I need equipnt to boost MP regen?" she wondered, then shook her head. "Focus on the task at hand."
She assigned one skeleton to oversee the at-roasting operation and headed towards Arthur and John.
"60 MP, 30 summons. 30 more skeletons!" The Undying Legion just kept growing.
