The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 3

The screen displays a dazzling array of territory attributes.

Some of the attributes were new to him, while others he had already learned from the game information.

For example, in the territory resources, the five basic resources of wood, stone, fiber, clay, and crude iron are the most important in “Glory Lord”. They have great significance in both recruiting troops and constructing the territory.

The setting of prosperity is determined by factors such as population, building construction, and troop situations. It can only be upgraded when a certain value is reached.

The rest of the information could only be slowly explored later.

His attention returned to the top of the screen. Seeing that the territory was still called “Unnamed Village,” he thought about what name would be better.

After some thought, he had an idea. He would call it the “Crown of the Ocean.”

Since the territory was on an island surrounded by an endless sea, he decided to build it into a dazzling crown in the ocean.

“The territory’s name is the Crown of the Ocean!” he announced.

“As expected of the wise lord, the name is pleasing to the ear!” praised the villagers.

“Under the leadership of the lord, the Ocean Crown will surely become a powerful territory!”

Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately started flattering.

“Alright, alright, this lord knows.”

Already fully immersed in the role of a lord, Ji Chen coughed lightly a few times and continued, “Wilus.”

“My lord, please give your orders.”

“Now, lead them to cut down the trees and vines around this clearing and collect wood and fiber.”

“Then, try to widen the road to the water source and beach.”

“Be careful not to leave the territory and prevent attacks from beasts and monsters.”

Cutting down trees is the first step to becoming rich.

Following by building roads after clearing the trees.

The panel shows that the territory is 100×100, but this clearing looks like it’s only about 50×50, with most of the territory submerged in the jungle, with a very small usable area.

These trees not only hinder movement but also hinder progress.

Chopping down trees can also yield resources.

“Yes, sir!”

Upon hearing his command, the villagers immediately followed Wilus and respectfully complied.

They walked to the tool shed and picked up their tools, immediately starting to work.

Watching them working hard, Jian Chen nodded with satisfaction.

He thought he would win his men’s hearts by feeding them more good food that night.

With this thought in mind, he did not waste any time.

He walked to an empty space beside the lord’s residence and took out the core of the military recruitment camp from his spatial backpack.

The Overlord’s initial space backpack only had a maximum of 10 slots, and each slot was 1x1x1 (meters) in size. Items larger than this space could not be put in.

There were only two things in the backpack now.

One was the core of the River Murloc Military Recruitment Camp, and the other was a fishing rod.

Ji Chen took out the core of the military recruitment camp.

The core of the military recruitment camp was not big. It was just a glass ball the size of a fist, and inside it was a lifelike merman.

“Ding ~ Do you want to build the River Murloc Military Recruiting Camp (Tier 1, 2 stars)?”

“Yes.”

The core of the military recruitment camp flew into the ground, and the soil trembled slightly. A Murloc statue suddenly broke out of the ground in the middle, surrounded by a shallow pool.

The pool water rippled, looking like an ordinary little pond landscape.

Ji Chen had a thought in mind and check its stats panel.

A screen of light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[River Murloc Statue]

[Tierl: 1, 2 stars]

[Type of soldier recruited: River Murloc (Tier 1, 2 stars)]

[Number of recruits per week: 14]

[Current Recruited]: 21

[Recruitment Consumption: 4 units of wood, 4 units of fiber, 4 units of clay.]

[Recruit]

As expected of a Tier 1, 2-star soldier. The resources consumed for recruitment were really low.

Recruiting one would only require a total of 12 units of resources, and 21 of them would not even require 100 units of resources.

The territory was not peaceful. There were wild beasts and monsters. It was a time when they urgently needed combat power.

He did not hesitate and chose to recruit them all immediately.

“Recruit!”

After pressing the button.

The resources of wood, fiber, and clay in the territory were reduced by 84 units each.

The Murloc army recruitment camp in front of him also began to glow slightly. The water in the pool rippled and gradually became turbid.

A circular shadow appeared in the shallow pool.

“Thump ~”

A semi-circular wave suddenly appeared on the water’s surface. A light blue fish’s head instantly jumped out of the water, followed by the fish’s body. Finally, the entire Murloc jumped out of the pool.

It stood by the pool in a daze, its body still dripping water to the ground.

“Croak!”

Then, the next Murloc, followed by 21 Murlocs jumped out of the water.

“Croak croak croak!”

They crowded around the pool, listening to the croaking.

Looking at the scene, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He couldn’t understand how such a large Murloc could emerge from such a shallow pool.

According to the information, the setting for recruiting these units was very strange.

The unit recruitment camp was like a signal receiver, summoning the wandering souls from another dimension, and then using resources to forge their bodies, thus completing the recruitment.

As for how to summon the souls, he didn’t understand.

It was said to be quantum mechanics.

Ji Chen gazed at it.

The River Murlocs were just as ugly and perhaps even uglier than he had imagined. They had four limbs like humans, but were much shorter, only about 1.3 meters tall. Their limbs looked as if they were randomly stuck to their bodies, short and comical.

A large, bloated salted fish head was directly attached to their round and plump bodies, and a row of ferocious thorn-like spines grew on their backs. Their bodies were covered in light blue, very slippery scales, with fins of various sizes on their limbs, and their legs were completely webbed.

The round fish head had a pair of protruding dead fish eyes, reflecting a strange light, looking incredibly stupid.

Their weapons were even more unbearable, just a bunch of bone sticks stripped from some creature, making the whole fish look like a weakling.

Damn it! This unit was too ugly.

With a glimmer of hope, he opened their interface.

[River Murloc]

[Race: Murloc]

[Level: 1]

[Tier: 1, 2 stars]

[Skill: Murloc Body (White skill, body covered in fish scales and sticky liquid, can deflect attacks to a certain extent)]

Diving (White skill. When moving in the water, it can reduce the movement when swimming)

[Military characteristic: Cowardly (Murlocs are timid by nature. When they encounter strong enemies and danger, they may be afraid and even run away.]

Ji Chen let out a sigh.

Okay, he shouldn’t have had some unrealistic ideas and expectations.

No wonder it was a 2-star Tier 1 unit.

Not only in appearance but also in strength, it was 100% worthy of its tier.

Just when he was feeling a bit depressed about those stupid river-Murlocs.

Suddenly a prompt popped up.

“Detected that you already have an army, military talent tree system activated.”

Military talent tree?

At the top of the menu, a new option appeared prominently.

Clicking on the option, a light screen flashed out.

Above is a branching tree-like diagram, with sections extending.

[River Murloc (Tier 1, 2-star)]

[Unlocked node A-1: Murloc Body (White Skill → Green Skill)][Consumes 200 units of wood, 100 units of clay]

[Unlocked node B-1: Diving (White skill → Green skill) Consumes 200 units of fiber, 100 units of clay.]

[Unlocked node C-1: Bone Spear Equipment (new white skill)][Requires 300 units of thick iron]

[Unlocked node D-1: Cowardly (Military characteristic weakened/enhanced) [Requires 500 units of wood, 500 units of fiber]

[Advanced: After unlocking nodes A-1, B-1, C-1, and D-1, it can be upgraded to a second-tier 1-star soldier.]

[Unlocking any node can increase star level or tier.]

Could this be his cheat?

It seemed to be a very powerful tool.

According to the information available, in ‘Lord of Glory’, the skills and ranks of units were relatively fixed, and in most cases could not be increased or enhanced.

Yet here he was, able to directly improve the unit’s skill level by consuming resources, adding new skills and changing unit characteristics, and even advancing to a higher tier.

Coach! I’d like to report someone for cheating!

Oh, wait, that person was me? Well then, no problem!
