Chapter 12

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

About three hours later, a very exquisite building appeared before Lorne.

Compared to the guild he built himself, the finished product was clearly better.

Moreover, for a building made by construction workers, there was a chance that it might recruit better workers.

Ding!

[Congratulations, 10 laborers, 1 construction worker, 1 miner, and 1 woodcutter have joined your ranks.]

Rene did not care about the attributes of the workers. They were only laborers anyway. The difference in attributes was small, and it did not mean much.

The upcoming attempt was what mattered to Rene.

“I hope it can be edited successfully.” Rene took a deep breath while muttering.

The machete was already prepared. He could start editing at any time.

He summoned a laborer and activated his talent.

[“Laborer” has been confirmed as the basic material. Please add body part material.]

“Machete.”

Rene put the machete into the formula first, then paused.

He had other materials on him. Could he use them as body parts and edit them?

Rene took out a fire rune.

But then he hesitated.

This was a relatively rare material. It seemed to be a waste to use it for the synthesis of a laborer.

It was like using ‘Fire Element Crystal Fragment’ on a slime.

Although he obtained an elite monster, Rene believed that as long as he replaced the monster with a higher quality one, he would definitely be able to obtain an even stronger monster.

“Forget it.”

Rene eventually abandoned the idea.

Like the slime, the laborers were the lowest level in the Overlord World.

If he used a fire rune to edit it, the final product would definitely be very restricted.

Ding!

[The ‘machete’ has been confirmed as a body part material. Currently forming a formula.]

[The current formula is: (Laborer) + (Machete) = (???)]

[The fee is 10 silver coins. Would you like to confirm this edit?]

The system’s notification sounded.

Without any hesitation, Rene chose to confirm it.

In the next second, a familiar scene appeared. The machete and the laborer turned into light and mixed together, finally forming a new unit.

Ding!

[Edited successfully!]

[Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Militia!]

With that, a warrior with a machete appeared in front of Rene.

Although he did not have a stunning appearance, one could still sense the tenacity and killing intent of a warrior from his sharp eyes.

————

[Unit]: Militia (Rank 1 Soldier)

[Race]: Human

[Grade]: Ordinary

[Level]: 1

[Health]: 20

[Damage]: 4-6

[Hire Cost]: 1 silver coin per week

[Racial Talent]: Sharpness (Has a high armor-piercing effect on the target)

[Skill]: Slash

[Description]: When the laborers are inspired and pick up their machetes, they can also become brave soldiers.

————

“6 Attack Points as the upper limit?”

Rene did not expect the machete to be so effective. Not only did it give the laborer a class, but it also gave him a higher attack limit.

One had to know that the upper limit attack of an Elite-level “Flame Slime” was only 9 points!

“His racial talent has also changed.”

The talent of the militia soldier became [Sharpness], which could cause high armor-piercing damage to the target.

This also indirectly increased the combat strength of the militia soldiers.

But that was not the most exciting part.

His gaze was focused on the construction worker nearby.

The building they were building was the first [Barracks] in this territory.

As long as the barracks was completed, they could recruit warriors.

At that time, by editing the warrior and the machete, the result would definitely be better than now.

Moreover, at that time, he would be able to add in the fire rune!

With that in mind, Rene continued editing.

There were ten laborers recruited this time.

But not all of them were turned into militia soldiers.

This was because the territory still needed to be built. Now that the two [Elementary Guilds] had been built, it was impossible to recruit more laborers.

Therefore, Rene needed to keep a few laborers behind so that they could become technicians and contribute to the construction of the territory.

A few minutes later, in front of him were five militia soldiers with machetes.

“Go and patrol the forest around the territory to obtain the food needed for the hunt. In addition, check the surrounding tree holes and other caves. If you notice anything abnormal, inform me immediately.”

“Yes.”

Upon receiving the order, the five militia soldiers began to break into the nearby forest in the form of small groups.

This time, Rene did not send the Fire Rune Slime.

It was almost afternoon, and they were about to produce the light balls.

Rene did not move.

His combat strength was no different from a slime. Even if he followed, it was meaningless.

It was better to stay in the territory. At the very least, he was absolutely safe here.

Of course, it was not as if he was going to do nothing.

With the editor on him, he could use this time to properly study the slime’s potential.

The slime that had fused with the soil earlier had the effect of creating fertile soil.

Would editing other materials have the same effect?

Like rocks or logs?

Stone and wood were the most important basic resources for the construction of the territory.

If he could develop production chains in these resources, could anyone in this world obstruct his growth?

“Can slimes merge with rocks?”

Ever since he had created the Flame Slime, Rene had been open to editing any possible ideas.

Even if the rock was useless, what about earth runes?

Or the Earth Element Crystal?

If the editing succeeded, it would definitely shock the world.

With that in mind, Rene found the Mud Monster.

It was made of useless mud. If he used it as an experiment and it failed, it would not cause much loss.

But as Rene worked out everything excitedly and even edited the synthesis formula…

An unexpected situation occurred.

The newly written synthesis formula did not merge successfully.

The slime and the rock turned into light and fused together. After repeatedly fusing, but just as it was about to succeed, the light suddenly dissipated.

The last thing that appeared in front of him was a pool of smelly mud mixed with rock fragments and black mud.

[Editing failed!]

[Prompt: Attempting second-level editing, and the compatibility between the two is too low. Edit failed. All materials destroyed!]

Looking at the notification on the interface, Rene mourned for the little guy on the ground.

He had been too careless.

He had thought too simply of the Monster Editor, leading to this accident.

He should have used an unedited slime for this. The final situation might be better than now.

However, the Mud Monster’s sacrifice was not worthless. At the very least, it let Rene know of a very important rule of the editor. When he attempted second-level editing, he had to consider the compatibility of the two and be stricter than the first!
