He initially thought that Finch Olmedo would have to be at the fourth-turn to start working for him. However, to his surprise, Olmedo was ready to work even before reaching the first-turn.
This made Dean McKenzie very pleased, prompting him to swiftly assign Finch Olmedo to the Promotion Temple and his promotion matters.
Meanwhile, Dean also arranged for the Instance Monument from the Valley of Dragons.
Keeping to his principle to squeeze out every bit of usefulness out of his resources.
Dean plans to promote Finch to the first-turn as soon as possible, and then have him help out in the Valley of Dragons.
However, while Finch being available to help is certainly delightful, considering Dean’s current template shortfall, it was far from enough!
“Am I really going to have to farm monsters?”
That could work too.
The problem is, Dean needed a lot more than what he currently has.
Finding perfect quality BOSS monsters isn’t easy. If Dean were to grind through every single map, he had no idea when he would gather all he needed.
Wait a minute, he’d been a bit daft. Why did he have to farm these himself?
If monster corpses along with Bone Rebirth could be used to create templates, why can’t he just get his hands on perfect quality corpses?
The more Dean thought about it, the more intriguing this idea became. Subsequently, Dean consulted Carney about the matter of monster corpses. Although Carney wasn’t well-versed about this aspect of business, he took Dean’s enquiry quite seriously and quickly found out more about it.
Very quickly, he made Dean an offer.
Perfect quality corpse price list
First-turn: 5 to 50 gold
Second-turn: 50 to 250 gold
Third-turn: 250 to 1000 gold
Fourth-turn: 3000 to 10,000 gold coins
Fifth-turn: Starting at 20,000 gold coins
Looking at the price list, Dean realized that he could not afford the fourth or fifth-turn corpses, they were way too expensive.
The first and the second-turn ones were within his reach.
However, there was an issue. Perfect quality monsters were rarely first or second-turn, thus these were essentially priceless.
For Dean who wanted to buy in bulk, the only feasible option was the third-turn.
At a minimum of 30,000 gold coins for 120 perfect quality third-turn corpses. That was merely the purchasing cost, the resurrection cost was additional.
In a conservative estimate, Dean reckoned he would have to spend at least 50,000 gold coins, that too under an ideal situation.
If his luck faltered, the price could go up to 250,000 gold coins.
Still, Dean bit the bullet and placed the order.
He even advanced the remaining 50,000 gold coins in his possession to Carney, urging him to acquire the 120 corpses as soon as possible.
Seeing Dean’s high priority towards this matter and the subtle suggestion about this potentially becoming a long-term transaction like templates, Carney took the matter even more seriously.
The very same day, the Giant Serpent Tribe delivered 12 third-turn perfect quality corpses they had at their disposal to Dean.
Then, the tribe’s few fifth-turn, and a handful of the fourth-turn higher ranks practically made a clean break, heading towards various tribes to source what Dean needed.
The entire tribe spared almost no defensive force.
The main reason being that with Dean in their Giant Serpent Tribe, Carney felt there was no significant need for their people to stay and defend.
He trusted Dean’s abilities and blindly trusted his character.
Meanwhile, Dean was also busy resurrecting the 12 corpses, each costing around 50 gold coins, amounting to a total of 600 gold coins. He collected 4 perfect quality templates.
When he successfully held the 4 perfect quality templates, Dean had an unreal feeling.
“So, this is the right way to use my talent.
There’s no need to fight tooth and nail, really, no necessity at all!
As long as I gather sufficient resources, I can level up from home!”
Nevertheless, this method, though effective, was a bit costly.
Dean had no idea how long his remaining money would last.
“Screw it, just keep the ball rolling while I can, once out of money I can always earn more!”
Dean exhibited a carefree attitude, akin to someone embracing death if they couldn’t make ends meet. Then he used the four perfect quality templates he had.
[You’ve used 4 perfect quality templates!]
[The quality of your wraith servant (Doggy Eight) has improved, evolving into a ‘Stealthy Skeleton Assassin’. Feature ‘Inconspicuous’ elevated to B-grade!] [The quality of your wraith servant (Doggy Four) has improved, evolving into a ‘Guardian Skeleton Warrior’. Feature ‘Enhanced Defense’ elevated to B-grade!] [The quality of your wraith servant (Doggy Six) has improved, evolving into a ‘Nonchalant Netherworld Skeleton Mage’. Features ‘Power of the Nether’ and ‘Dark Specialization’ elevated to B-grade!]
[The quality of your wraith servant (Doggy Nine) has improved, evolving into a ‘Luck-Bending Skeleton Crossbowman’. Feature ‘Lucky Crossbow’ elevated to B-grade!]
In just one swoop, Dean managed to elevate all of his main servants to perfect quality.
Their strength skyrocketed.
However, Dean focused more on Old Six’s professional trait and Old Nine’s trait.
‘Dark Specialization (B) (Construction trait, understand and construct dark attribute buildings at an enhanced 300% efficiency, 50% increase in building attributes.)’
‘Trait: Lucky Crossbow (B) (Luck affects your attack, due to luck, each of your hits will cause damage multiplied by a randomized number between 1 and 50.)’
Looking at these two traits, Dean showed a satisfied smile.
His chief construction architect was showing clear improvement, and Archer
Nine’s specialization was gradually taking shape as well..
