The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. This was a fundamental rule of the Newbie Trials. The most important thing for a new lord was to find the right balance. Expand too quickly, and you'd face ridiculously dangerous threats you couldn't possibly survive for 30 days. Expand too slowly, and while the danger would be minimal, so would the rewards. For the average lord, it was all about just scraping by. If they got lucky and found some high-quality gear or summoned a good hero, they might try to push their luck a little. But for the geniuses and the rich kids, it was a high-stakes gamble from the very beginning. Win, and you're set for ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) life. Lose, and it's back to mommy and daddy.Wu Chi might have come from a normal background, but he was basically a walking cheat code, so his progress was light-years ahead of his peers. Naturally, the dangers he faced were also on a completely different level. He remembered a senior student at school talking about his final trial day, where he faced a Kobold Lord boss with a "thin Red Dragon bloodline." 100 militiamen swarmed it and eventually wore it down. The [Three-headed Buddha Child], on the other hand, could probably obliterate that same Kobold Lord in a single blow. And this… was only day 10.He couldn't even imagine what horrors the coming days would bring. And he wouldn't be standing still; as his territory grew stronger, so too would the monsters. What kind of insane battles awaited him?"Twenty days to go," Wu Chi muttered, taking a deep breath. He stashed his loot in his inventory and went to collect the treasure chests. It took a while, but he managed to gather all 6731 lizardmen chests and the 1 chest from the big boss."731 extra… I think the last batch had a few extra too," he mused. "Can one monster drop two chests?" That was odd. Usually, it was one monster, one chest. "Maybe it's related to the Luck stat?" With the "Twelve Beauties of Jinling" bond, both Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing had a +1 to their Luck. When it came to luck, they were definitely not lacking."Whatever. Luck is too abstract for me right now. If there's extra loot, I'm not gonna say no." Wu Chi was feeling optimistic. He stretched his neck, ready to go take a shower and get some well-deserved sleep.But… just as he turned back towards his territory, shadowy figures began to stir in the dark mists once again."Are you fucking kidding me? Again!?" Wu Chi's eyes widened in disbelief.The next moment, pale white skeletons emerged from the fog. In the front were warriors with bone shields and swords, and behind them, skeleton mages with elemental energy gathering in their hands. Wu Chi quickly put on his [Lens of Truth] and used [Appraise].[Skeleton Shield Warrior]Race: Undead/VoidLevel: 10Quality: White (Common)Constitution: 50+10Spirit: (None)Skills: [Shield Wall], [Defensive Stance].Description: Was a shield warrior in life and retained his combat memories in death.

This probably wasn't the main force for day 11. Wu Chi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly spent some void crystals to repair his defenses.Void Crystal -100! [Wooden Wall] repair in progress. Estimated time: 60 seconds.Void Crystal -400! [Fart Tower] repair in progress. Estimated time: 10 minutes.…The repairs weren't cheap, but he had plenty of crystals to spare. As long as the process wasn't interrupted, it would be quick."About a hundred of them," he estimated. "Kill 'em all!"The skeletons might not need to breathe, but when the weakening fart cloud rolled over them, they still stumbled and swayed like a bunch of drunks, their formation completely breaking. Wu Chi didn't understand the science behind it, but he wasn't about to question a good thing."Fire!" he commanded.The machine gun towers roared to life. Fireballs, frost spells, crossbow bolts… a wave of destruction washed over the skeletons, blasting them into a pile of bony dust.
