Lin Chen shook his head and dismissed the inappropriate thoughts swirling in his mind, returning to his own residence.
Time flew by, and before he knew it—it was a new day!
Waking up to the cheerful chirping of birds outside his window, Lin Chen opened his eyes with a stretch.
After a quick wash-up, he headed straight to the Racial Altar.
At the same time, he opened the recharge panel to claim his daily monthly card rewards and growth fund.
Might as well grab the daily pack too—it only cost 10,000 Summer Coins, cheap and worth it.
"You have purchased the Daily Pack. Cost: 10,000 Summer Coins."
"You have claimed your Monthly Card: Purple Resource Pack ×3, Food ×20,000, Random Equipment Chest ×1, Equipment Enhancement Stone ×100, Forbidden Spell Scroll ×1."
"You have claimed your Growth Fund: Basic Resources ×2 million, Random Troop Chest ×1, Silver-Grade Equipment Chest ×1, Subject Refresh Card ×2, Essence Chest ×2."
Whoosh! A fresh haul of rewards poured in—what a rush!
No time to waste—it was time to turn those resources into troops.
Lin Chen first checked his current gold balance.
After claiming two days of the Growth Fund, one monthly card, and one daily pack, he now had 13.77 million in gold.
Time to start with a batch of Windrunner Archers via the free daily refresh.
"You have trained 500 units of Windrunner Archer. Cost: 300,000 gold."
Next up—Griffin Knight.
Just like the plan, he wanted to hit 50,000 total units.
"You have trained 1,000 units of Griffin Knight. Cost: 900,000 gold."
"You have used a Subject Refresh Card. Human Altar population refreshed."
"You have trained 1,000 units of Griffin Knight. Cost: 900,000 gold."
"You have used..."
After spending 3.6 million gold and 3 Subject Refresh Cards, the Griffin Knight army reached its milestone of 50,000 units.
Then, Lin Chen brought out the Dwarf Miner, and added them to the Human Altar.
Details were as follows:
[Human Altar]
Level: 10
Daily Population Yield: 1,000
Troop Templates: Griffin Knight (900 gold), Dwarf Miner (300 gold)
Current Troops: Griffin Knight (50,000)
Upgrade Requirements: Lumber, Stone, Iron, Gold ×780,000; Human Essence ×100
Dwarf Miner was a Tier 4 troop and cost only 300 gold per unit to train.
Lin Chen planned to start with 20,000 units.
They'd serve his current gathering needs just fine.
After all, there'd be plenty of future gathering opportunities, so this wouldn't be a waste.
The cost?
6 million gold
20 Subject Refresh Cards
Lin Chen had plenty of both—so he went all in.
"You have used a Subject Refresh Card. Human population refreshed."
"You have trained 1,000 units of Dwarf Miner. Cost: 300,000 gold."
"You have used a Subject Refresh Card. Human population refreshed."
"You have trained 1,000 units of Dwarf Miner. Cost: 300,000 gold."
"You have used..."
One Subject Refresh Card after another was used. One batch of Dwarf Miners after another poured out of the Human Altar's teleportation gate.
They were stocky men, about 1.5 meters tall.
They wore leather armor, mining helmets with mounted lamps, and were thickly muscled.
Their rough features were framed by bright red beards.
These were the dwarves.
Details as follows:
[Dwarf Miner]
Rank: 4
Level: 1
HP: 2,500
Defense: 400
Attack: 320
Speed: 110
Skills:
Ore Harvest: Dwarves are born gatherers, capable of collecting ore faster and in greater quantities. +20% Resource Yield and +20% Gathering Speed.
Savage Brawler: Don't underestimate these short guys. They use every nearby tool as a weapon, dealing high physical damage to enemies.
Description: Mining specialists of the Dwarf Race. Their vast experience gives them strong bonuses when it comes to gathering ores.
As expected, the Dwarf Miners came with built-in gathering bonuses—in both yield and speed.
Yield Bonus: Increases the total amount of resources gathered.
Example: A green Gold Resource Point holds 30,000 units of gold.
Normal troops would collect exactly 30,000 units.
Dwarf Miners, thanks to their +20% bonus, would collect 36,000 units.
That boost may seem small at first—but with multiple resource points, it adds up to something massive.
Speed Bonus: This worked similarly to Lin Chen's VIP perk and gathering acceleration scrolls. It increased the speed of resource collection.
Normally it took one minute to collect one unit of resource.
But with speed boosts, they could collect more than one unit per minute.
Also extremely valuable.
That's why Lin Chen was training Dwarf Miners like crazy—for this exact skill.
As for combat? Lin Chen had better troops already. The dwarves wouldn't be needed there.
Soon, 20,000 units of Dwarf Miner were fully trained, standing in neat square formations before Lin Chen.
He checked his remaining gold—2.357 million.
Not much left—but enough for one more batch.
This time, though, he wasn't training existing troops.
He was going to train the Furious Blood Orc.
A Tier 6 troop—time to put them to use.
Furious Blood Orcs were Orc Race troops and required an Orc Altar.
So, Lin Chen got started:
"You have constructed an Orc Altar."
With the system's announcement, a brand-new altar appeared on the open ground.
It was carved in stone, depicting a burly orc with massive tusks and a giant axe.
Time to upgrade.
"Consumed resources: Lumber, Stone, Iron, Gold ×20,000. Orc Altar upgraded to Level 2."
"Consumed resources: Lumber, Stone, Iron, Gold ×30,000. Orc Altar upgraded to Level 3."
Light pillars cascaded down, and the Orc Altar's level quickly soared.
It wasn't until Level 10 that Lin Chen finally stopped.
Details as follows:
[Orc Altar]
Level: 10
Daily Population Yield: 1,000
Troop Template: Furious Blood Orc (900 gold)
Current Troops: None
Upgrade Requirements: Lumber, Stone, Iron, Gold ×780,000; Orc Essence ×100
He still had 2.357 million gold left.
No hesitation—he trained two batches of Furious Blood Orcs.
"You have trained 1,000 units of Furious Blood Orc. Cost: 900,000 gold."
"You have used a Subject Refresh Card. Orc population refreshed."
"You have trained 1,000 units of Furious Blood Orc. Cost: 900,000 gold."
