Age of Ascension: Forging an Immortal Realm from Nothing

chapter 3.3 - Battle Loot! The Barracks! (3/4)


After all the monsters were killed, their bodies would gradually turn to dust over time. This was a characteristic of void creatures.Legend had it that immortals and deities had tried to unravel this mystery, but after centuries of research, they came up with nothing! All that was known was that these monsters were likely the original inhabitants of worlds that had been shattered!Therefore, in the Infinite Void, encountering angels and demons was not uncommon. Whether from the magic faction, the tech faction, or the cultivation faction—all kinds of monsters could appear!In the "People's Education Edition Language Textbook" Volume 9, there was a record of the Dao Lord's description of the Infinite Void: "This is the graveyard of all heavens and worlds, the final endpoint for all realms, without exception."Of course, all this was far too distant for the current Wu Chi. All he knew was that killing void monsters yielded treasure chests and battle rewards!There were 18 monsters in total, resulting in 18 treasure chests, which Wu Chi collected one by one. Seventeen of them were slightly smaller, blood-red chests from the Fallen Demons. The one from the Fallen Demon Shaman was a size larger, and its rewards were certainly better!To avoid any mishaps, Wu Chi took Lin Daiyu back into the safety of the territory, inside the small hut, before taking out all the chests and lining them up."Now, it's time to test my luck!" Wu Chi grinned, rubbing his hands together.Seeing this, Lin Daiyu, sitting gracefully in a chair, glanced at the boxes with her beautiful eyes."Let's do this!" Wu Chi, in his previous life, had loved opening loot boxes and gacha pulls, and had been a bit of a whale in various games. Now, he opened all the chests at once.A series of notifications popped up:"Acquired: 2 Void Crystals.""Acquired: 1 Void Crystal, 1 Void Essence Stone.""Acquired: 3 Void Crystals.""Acquired: 1 Void Crystal.""Acquired: 2 Void Crystals, 500 grams of Gold.""Acquired: 2 Void Crystals, [Scimitar]."..."Acquired: 7 Void Crystals, [Arrow Tower]."...Following the prompts, a pile of Void Crystals, 1 Void Essence Stone, a scimitar, and a small architectural model appeared on the table."Not bad luck!" Wu Chi was excited. He had crammed knowledge about the "Newbie Trial," and under normal circumstances, the reward for killing a common monster was, 99% of the time, 1-3 Void Crystals. He actually managed to get three rewards from that 1% bracket—his luck was genuinely good!He counted them up: 28 Void Crystals in total. With a sweep of his hand, Wu Chi stored them all away, also placing the Void Essence Stone into his inventory.Next, he picked up the scimitar.[Scimitar] Level: 1 Quality: Gray (Trash) Attributes: None Description: It's a drop from a trash mob you could kill easily. What exactly are you expecting?"Fuck!" Wu Chi's face darkened.He then noticed Lin Daiyu looking at him with a surprised expression across the table."Ahem... I was talking about a plant, 'grass'!" Wu Chi said with a completely straight face."Young master, please feel free to speak your mind. Even in the most esteemed mansions, those who curse are plentiful," Lin Daiyu said softly, a hint of laughter in her eyes.Wu Chi coughed again and quickly stood up."Let's go, time to build some structures!""As you wish."...Within the territory, the 200-square-meter space wasn't very large! With the small hut and the Red Pavilion already placed, there wasn't much room left.Once outside, Wu Chi immediately took out the three architectural models: the [Barracks], and the 2 [Arrow Towers]!"Here goes!" Wu Chi grabbed the [Barracks] and tossed it next to the small hut! The model grew larger as it flew through the air, soon transforming into a small military tent that landed beside the hut.[Barracks] (+) Level: 1 (0/100) Function: Recruit Soldiers (...) Recruitable Units: Militia (Cost: 1 Void Crystal) Description: Militia: farmers holding spears, with absolutely no military training to speak of."The newbie's best friend, the Militia!" Wu Chi sighed.Among newbie lords, the initial recommended strategy for most was to start with the [Barracks], exchange 10 Void Crystals for 10 Militia, and use numbers to overcome the first wave easily. After getting the rewards, summon more militia the next day, sustaining growth through battle. Later on, heroes, better troops, and various buildings would be gradually acquired. This was considered the easiest and most convenient starting strategy, proven over countless years.Of course... that was for ordinary people."Sorry everyone, but I'm a cheater." Wu Chi inwardly shed a single tear of a blessed player and clicked on the plus sign.In the next moment, a dazzling five-colored divine light swept over, enveloping the entire [Barracks]!A short while later, the light faded, revealing the transformed structure: a building with a rough, wild style, circular in shape like a large shed."This style... could it be Barbarians? Or maybe Snowmen, Stone Men? Hmm... Rock Monsters or Tree Monsters are possibilities too!" Wu Chi rubbed his chin and opened the new barrack's stats panel....[Steelboar Shed] Building ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) Type: Barracks Level: 1 (0/200) Function: Recruit Soldiers (...) Recruitable Units: Steelboar (Cost: 5 Void Crystals) Description: A wild boar clad in steel armor, the tank of the boar pack!Wu Chi: "....."
