Golden Experience Chapter 201: “Hit them with ice and they will die”

Monkichi is a baboon. It looks like a giant mandrill.

From the mont they appeared, Snow Baboons are already larger than humans. In the case of baboons, their forward-leaning posture might even be around three ters. They can win against ice wolves in battles, which is only natural.

For now, they are an unfamiliar race, and, well, it’s better to be strong, so I decided to give Monkichi a Philosopher’s Stone.

《Your subordinate has fulfilled the reincarnation conditions》

《Do you allow the reincarnation to “Shoujou” by consuming 100 of your experience points?》

Shoujou might an orangutan. Well, if that’s what it is, then I’ll just accept it.

When I actually reincarnated him, Monkichi turned into a muscular mandrill. It looks like they just fattened up the baboon with muscles.

Speaking of Shoujou, it generally refers to orangutans. Or in terms of legendary beings, this one is said to be a heavy drinker, living in the sea, or a sage of the forest, but none of these associations fit the handso gorilla in front of .

“But the INT is quite high. Maybe because he’s a forest sage? STR is also higher than expected. This is pretty accurate.”

The experience points paid were not significant, but it can be roughly said to be on par with a queen-class in terms of strength. There is also the accumulation of leading a group as a baboon for a long ti, and it’s unknown which race is superior.

“Now, for now, this should be fine. If we have been dominating this forest until Hakuma’s return, we should be able to continue without further enhancent.

So, in the end, why did you guys co and where did you co from?”

According to them, Monkichi and the others ca from a forest much further west from here. It might be Pearl.

The reason for coming to Wells was the sa as Hakuma, driven out of the forest by people entering.

Speaking of Pearl, it’s a country with many beastn. Just as the elves consu a lot of fruits compared to humans, I’ve heard that beastn prefer at. That’s why they buy livestock and wood from Wells.

“If the beastn ca into the forest, would they just be hunting, or did they intend to eat Monkichi and the others?”

I thought while saying it.

There’s a psychological barrier to eating a species close to human like monkeys, but first and foremost, there’s their strength.

Snow Baboons are large. Their STR and VIT are high accordingly, and especially NPCs that haven’t undergone much training would likely not be able to defeat them. Even if you surround them with numbers, the opponent is also a species that forms groups. It’s not realistic to surround one in the forest.

If their goal wasn’t to hunt Snow Baboons, what could it be?

It’s possible that it was for the resources of the forest rich in underground resources, like the Liebe Great Forest. But would they cut through a forest infested with monsters for that?

Even if the goal was the wood itself, there are still doubts. Pearl buys livestock and wood from Wells, and if they can produce wood themselves, they wouldn’t need to buy it. Even if they were trading, it would likely only be through certain cities, and it’s possible they were conducting forest clearing in an unrelated area. Perhaps it was the forest where Monkichi and the others were.

Or maybe they had so conflict with the Snow Baboons. From Monkichi’s recollection, there doesn’t seem to be any such thing, but it doesn’t necessarily an the sa for the other party.

NPC beastn tend to be impulsive or easily angered, and even if they were fighting at the level of monkeys, it wouldn’t be surprising.

“If there’s a chance to go to Pearl, I’ll investigate. I also need to look into the Mythical Beast King.”

Once things settle in Wells, the next destination is Pearl.

The most mysterious thing right now is the Mythical Beast King. I haven’t heard any information about it dying from the Count, so it might still be sowhere in the world. If the destination of the beastn is the Mythical Beast King, it might be faster to create it than to search for it.

It’s okay to reincarnate Kerry and the others, but at the mont, I don’t know the conditions for their reincarnation. Kerry and the others reincarnated from cat beastn to other beastn, but it’s unclear if they are on the sa level as High Elves or Noble Humans, or if they simply shifted horizontally. At least, they didn’t acquire the ability to [Command] as a racial trait.

If I can learn about such things, or if I can learn about the current nobility and royalty of Pearl, I might get hints for the reincarnation of higher races.

In terms of combat power or abilities alone, reincarnation is certainly more efficient with stat increases. However, if I give them experience points and let them grow in their current race, they will still beco stronger. In that sense, there’s no need to force reincarnation.

Especially for humanoid characters, this tendency is prominent.

For example, if they gain wings like Ubel and can fly, or if they get additional breath attacks, it would be a different story, but if there’s no significant change in physical appearance due to reincarnation, it’s essentially the sa. Eventually, it’s the sa if I invest experience points and acquire skills. So individuals may not fit into that frawork.

Therefore, I had thought until now that it’s fine to leave them as they are. But if the race itself is a condition, then it’s a different story.

I’ll look to obtain information about higher races of beastn, and use that information to strengthen Kerry and the others.

“If that’s the case, then the next target is the Dwarves’ country, Shape. If Lyra can handle Portree’s reins well, I wouldn’t mind leaving it to her, but the Spirit Lord should be suitable for the Dwarves, considering the previous Spirit Lord.”

However, thinking about the previous Spirit Lord, strengthening the Dwarves might lead to the production of strange items or scattered items again, which could be troubleso. Like the Holy King, the Spirit Lord is particularly vulnerable to rare items. Handling them requires caution.

It would be better to place the Spirit Lord in an environnt where monitoring is easy in so form. In that sense, Portree, essentially sealed off by Hiers and Aural, is just right. On the other hand, Shape is the farthest country from Hiers. There might be concerns about it being hard to keep an eye on.

“If it’s the Dwarves, they have a stubborn image, and it’s okay to destroy them like Hiers. Investigate roughly what kind of country it is until the next event or so, and if it seems troubleso, we can hunt down just their leaders again.”

Dwarves and Elves, with their long lifespans, are relatively strong entities among NPCs. It might be suitable for them to serve as a stage for the activities of Warrior Skulls and Giant Corpses. If using real undead, it might be good to ask Blanc if we can borrow Skeletal Ghidorah. In the anti, Erntal’s defense can be handled by lending out Ubel.

“Sure, go ahead. Then, Ginka, you can handle the western part.”

On social dia, they seem to be recognized as wandering-type special boss monsters, or sothing like that. If they enjoy it, then it’s worth sending them out as rare creatures. Although their numbers have increased significantly, it shouldn’t be a big problem. Having more is probably better.

After sending out the wolves, I summoned Queen Vespoid to create a base for Wells in the underground of the coniferous forest. However, the response was not favorable. It seems that it’s too cold here. The Queen has acquired magic of all attributes and has resistance skills for each attribute, but the engineers don’t count as combatants, so they don’t have resistance skills. In other words, it’s difficult for ants, who are weak to cold, to create a secret base in the underground of this place.

My faction covers all production-related tasks with the craftsn of the ants and Rifure. This also applies to facilities and buildings. If ants can’t be used, there are only human craftsn left, but thinking calmly, ordinary humans not involved in combat are not necessarily resistant to the cold. If ants are hit with [Ice Magic], they will die and respawn, but hitting human craftsn with magic will usually result in actual death.

In other words, there are no suitable personnel in hand to perform productive work in such an extrely cold place.

“I thought it could be a base for Wells. Well, there’s no need to make one in the forest. If they have business, they can co, and we can make the operating base in the underground of Wells’ Holy Church Cathedral. The main focus of activities in Wells is the strengthening of NPC royalty.”

There was no reason to deliberately create a base in the forest.

Actually, there’s no need to force the creation of a base in the first place. Wells’ capital is not as cold as here, and if ants are quietly called, they can dig a basent. After that, call construction craftsn from Rifure and have them make rooms. It’s inconceivable that they would be refused, but just to be sure, they decided to fly to Mare, the head of Wells, to get permission from the Archbishop of Wells.
