Chapter 84

——System notification: You have successfully trained a Charmer soldier, and you have gained +500 experience.

Experience points? Yes, in the game, everything from repairing, mining, reading, to fishing grants experience. Da Fei laughed heartily, thinking, "Brother's level 7 soldier team is starting to grow!"

Now, Da Fei began to examine the special skill he had comprehended, "Special Forces Training." Hmm? Suddenly, Da Fei's eyes widened in shock. The skill turned out to be—

—Basic Special Forces Training: The hero has a certain chance to train some ordinary soldiers into special forces with unique combat capabilities.

—Skill description: Special Forces Training is an extremely secret discipline involving high-level military secrets. There are no public skill books available for learning or upgrading. It also has strict requirements for soldiers, instructors, and training grounds. Players must rely on their own exploration and practice to comprehend, upgrade, and improve the skill.

Da Fei's eyes widened! It was actually a main skill! Just like Attack and Defense skills! "What the heck, I thought it was just a branch skill under Reconnaissance!"

Thinking about it, it made sense. Training Charmers originated from Reconnaissance, but it had already transcended the scope of Reconnaissance. It deserved its own discipline, and it was a profound and highly secret one! However, not having a skill book was quite frustrating. Although Navigators didn't have textbooks either, they could still seek advice from other Navigators. This Special Forces Training skill probably wouldn't even have anyone to ask for advice, given the military secrets involved! Of course, not having a textbook had its benefits too; self-comprehension didn't consume skill points.

Currently, this basic skill was quite underwhelming. It was described as a passive automatic skill, but it didn't add any attributes. If it were an active skill, there would be no skill usage options, meaning no sub-skills. In the end, it was just a line of text. It definitely needed improvement.

For now, Da Fei could still seek advice from someone.

Da Fei hurriedly asked, "Deirdre, do you know about Special Forces Training? I comprehended such a skill after successfully developing the Charmer unit."

Deirdre smiled and said, "As expected of my master, of course I know about Special Forces Training. It's an open secret."

Da Fei was startled, "A secret that's actually public?"

Deirdre shook her head and smiled, "What I mean is, every race and kingdom has special forces and Special Forces Training. It's something everyone knows. Many bards in taverns have stories about this, and many people are captivated by them. However, the actual training methods for special forces are top secrets. In short, it's a strategy for kingdoms to let their enemies or allies know they have special forces that are exaggerated in public rumors."

So that's how it is. Exaggerated rumors, like the Snow Leopard Commando becoming the Chinese Dragon Group with superpowers, are quite effective for intimidation. Even the legendary Gru was probably exaggerated by the public?

Da Fei asked again, "Have you, as an instructor, ever heard of how to upgrade and improve this skill?"

Deirdre shook her head, "I'm ashamed! However, taking the Hell Race's Holy Demon Corps as an example, the commander, Sellen, selects the most outstanding demons from various corps to join the special forces. By analogy, Master should only consider the successful training of adult Sirens into Charmers as true Special Forces Training, which could lead to further breakthroughs."

—System notification: You have obtained information about the Holy Demon Corps.

Ignoring the strange notification, Da Fei was astonished, "Directly training adult Sirens? How is that possible?" Charmers are predicted to be level 7 units, right? Can a level 4 unit jump directly to a level 7 unit?

Deirdre shook her head and sighed, "I can't do it! What I can do is train young Charmers into adults. In my opinion, Master should wait until the Charmers are adults before proceeding. Otherwise, without knowing their adult attributes, how can Master train ordinary Sirens into Charmers?"

Da Fei suddenly understood, "Right, right, I was too impatient! What you said makes sense. For now, let's focus on raising the children, and then we'll gradually research and improve, hehe!"

It seems that training younglings is just an entry-level skill for selecting candidates and doesn't count as a real skill. Only directly training adult Sirens can overcome this hurdle. Indeed, I can't rely on recruiting younglings in the barrier forever or always have Deirdre act as a nanny. In the future, when I have the money, I'll invest heavily in adult Sirens. After all, 500 gold per unit is nothing for a billionaire like me. If that doesn't work, I'll set Special Forces Training as a natural talent. My talent slot has been empty for a long time, and I'm eager to fill it.

Suddenly, Da Fei thought of something else, "What does 'the most outstanding soldiers' mean?" Selecting the best soldiers to train as special forces is understandable, but all soldiers have the same attributes, right?

Deirdre smiled, "Of course, it means the soldiers who have killed the most enemies or have survived the longest while following their master in battles."

Indeed! When players have free time, they can check the kill count of each soldier. However, it's not very meaningful, especially for low-level units who are cannon fodder and ranged units who are the main targets of heavy fire. In the end, how many can survive? It seems that training special forces is quite complicated. For now, raising the younglings is enough; there's no need to rush into training special forces.

It's getting late, and a new day has begun. It's time for me to open up the situation.

Where is the situation? Of course, I need to check outside the World Tree barrier! Last night, when the topic of the barrier's influence came up, I suddenly thought about what it would be like outside. As the saying goes, "You can't see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the midst of it." Given that even I, with such strength, can't open up the situation, other players would be frustrated to death. So, I should change my approach and check outside.

At this moment, Deirdre spoke again, "Master, please take these two soldiers with you."

Da Fei was surprised, "They are younglings!"

Deirdre shook her head and sighed slightly, "Flowers in a greenhouse can't withstand the storms. I didn't get to where I am by staying in the palace and enjoying myself. The world of Hell is cruel and merciless. Every day, tens of thousands of demon infants are born, but only a few dozen become ordinary soldiers. Among hundreds of thousands of demon infants, only a few can break through the class limitations to become elite soldiers. Master, take them with you and leave them with me when you rest."

Da Fei was at a loss, these younglings cost 350 plus 500 gold each, not like the demon infants in your Hell Blood Pool that can be produced in the tens of thousands with a single stroke. If one dies, I'll be bleeding money! However, what she said made sense. How do ordinary units become elite or even bosses? This is a question even Makar is struggling with. She must be using her own growth experience to train soldiers.

Alright, I'm a man of business, and I should aim for bigger things. I'll take them. If even a flying unit with stealth can't survive on the battlefield, then there's no point in wasting money and time on special forces. I'll just raise a few younglings to level 7 and use them.

Wait! Speaking of Makar, does the high-level unknown undead he created, which is more advanced than Wraiths, count as a special force? Makar once wrote in his diary that living beings have significant limitations and little growth potential, while only undead can grow without limits. His approach is definitely about researching special forces.

Damn! Teacher Makar, teach me! I'm your cheap student!
