At this moment, the changes were still ongoing.
The white data stream, resembling an egg, on Zhang Caidong’s body had already begun to re-integrate into his body.
A special wave of death spirit rules began to transform his Blue Star Human Race body, and also continued to inject the power of Mount & Blade Rules into it.
This caused Zhang Caidong to undergo a tremendous transformation.
In fact, even in Zhang Caidong’s own mind, some experiences regarding weapon usage and post-training had quietly appeared.
Various experiences.
For example, how to use the spear in his hand to stab enemies.
What angle to use, how to cooperate with his comrades, or how to thrust forward when alone to maximize the effectiveness of the spear in his hand.
Also, how to use the shield made of wooden planks in his hand, and what angle and method to use to block enemy attacks.
This included how to use the hunting crossbow hanging at his lower back to shoot enemies.
And how to use these weapons to cooperate with his comrades, forming dense spear formations or shield walls, and volleys.
All these experiences began to pour into Zhang Caidong’s mind.
He even had a false memory, as if he had truly been conscripted and had mastered these experiences after nearly half a year of training in a faction called the Swadia Kingdom in Calradia.
Zhang Caidong stood stunned in place; he wasn't quite sure why this false memory appeared in his mind.
What also greatly shocked him was that these various experiences, directly injected into his mind as if directly into his soul, were somewhat similar to a professional’s inheritance.
“That’s right, it’s really very similar to a professional’s inheritance. When I previously obtained the spiritual realm mark inheritance and received the inheritance of the basic professional ‘Warrior,’ it seemed to work on my mind in this way.”
Zhang Caidong was deep in thought at this moment, meticulously recalling his feelings when he first became a Spiritual Realm professional, specifically the basic professional ‘Warrior.’
This feeling was truly like when he received the Spiritual Realm professional inheritance, where the rules from the Spiritual Realm instilled various memories and abilities into him.
How to become a Warrior, how to activate a Warrior’s skills.
As well as the strength and physique a Warrior should possess, which the Spiritual Realm professional rules inherited to him, transforming his physical body.
At that time, it was also due to the professional inheritance’s transformation of his physical body that Zhang Caidong was able to change from an ordinary city village youth into a standard Warrior with a well-proportioned, muscular physique.
Although there was also an enhancement to his physical body from the soul-level resonance with the Gnoll.
However, the transformation from the professional inheritance was also indispensable.
And now, Zhang Caidong had once again gained new memories, injected into his mind, and he also felt his body undergo another physical strengthening.
‘Buzz!’
At this moment, the white data stream belonging to Mount & Blade Rules also began to gradually disappear, completely integrating into Zhang Caidong’s body and soul.
Then, Zhang Caidong instinctively gripped his weapon and reappeared in the reception room.
His right hand tightly gripped a spear.
His left hand was clad in a relatively neat old wooden shield.
He wore a cotton padded jacket with some leather patches sewn onto it.
He also wore a cotton padded helmet.
A quiver with 24 crossbow bolts and a hunting crossbow hung from his left and right lower backs, respectively.
And on his belt, there was also a very conspicuous pointed pickaxe that could be used as a personal armor-piercing weapon.
This was precisely the appearance of a Swadian Militia, a Tier 2 unit within the Swadia Kingdom faction.
They are a highly versatile Tier 2 unit capable of effectively engaging enemies at long range within 50 meters, forming spear formations in melee to deter enemy advances, raising their broken wooden shields to provide maximum defense against enemy ranged attacks, and wielding their highly armor-piercing pointed pickaxes in close combat.
It can be said that as long as these Swadian Militia form in sufficient numbers, they are the most steadfast protection and reliance for the Swadia farms and homesteads located in the fields outside the city walls.
And now, Zhang Caidong had successfully advanced to a Swadian Militia.
“This is truly too powerful; I never expected Zhang Caidong to receive another grace from Lord Shen Mu.”
“This time, Zhang Caidong seems to have gained stronger protection and weapons. He looks more like a regular soldier.”
“If the changes continue, will Zhang Caidong also be able to gain the appearance of those elite Human Race soldiers wearing chainmail or plate armor, wielding long lances and common weapons?”
“If we pledge our allegiance to Lord Shen Mu even more devoutly, then Lord Shen Mu should be able to transform us into such an appearance!”
“This should be soul-level resonance. Indeed, after following Lord Shen Mu and undergoing soul-level resonance, we won’t turn into Alien , but rather into the Lingjie Human Race, with no significant difference from us Blue Star Humans.”
“That’s truly wonderful. It’s precisely because Spiritual Realm creatures are too ugly, and their temperament is extremely tyrannical and cruel, that I’ve always detested becoming like them. Now, I can finally follow Lord Shen Mu, and from now on, we can remain human.”
Inside the accounting office, these Blue Star Humans were all whispering, discussing Zhang Caidong’s transformation among themselves.
Because Zhang Caidong’s transformation was the best template that had appeared before them.
It made them all yearn to become like Zhang Caidong.
Because they had all previously led Spiritual Realm creatures as their followers and had undergone soul-level resonance with those Spiritual Realm creatures. Therefore, they truly felt some helplessness regarding the ugly appearance and flawed personalities of Spiritual Realm creatures.
However, as mentioned earlier, there was nothing they could do.
After all, the invasion and strike of death spirit rules could appear at any moment, and their lives were not guaranteed.
Therefore, under such circumstances, they had to quickly ensure their lives were protected.
So, they could only sign contracts with all the available creatures to undergo soul-level resonance, quickly acquiring souls and Spiritual Realm Followers to follow them. This way, they could resist the Undead Monsters from the death spirit rules that were hunting them down.
It wasn’t that they wanted to become those ugly Spiritual Realm creatures, to stop being human or a Human Race.
They also wanted to become genuine humans.
Whether Blue Star Human Race or Lingjie Human Race.
As long as they were human, it was fine.
So now, Shen Mu offered them an opportunity to become human, and a genuine human at that, basically indistinguishable from Blue Star Humans—the Lingjie Human Race.
The language they spoke and their behaviors as Blue Star Humans would remain the same as Lingjie Human Race.
Including their aesthetics and their friends around them.
They were all human.
This would prevent them from falling into a form of racial self-negation. After all, everyone was human, just with slightly different appearances, and no reproductive isolation. They still spoke the same language, had the same customs and habits; they were just a bit ancient, that’s all.
There was no difference.
Therefore, under the influence of their preconceived notions, the ability of Shen Mu to bestow upon them the power to become Lingjie Human Race made them even more fervent in their hearts.
Moreover, even after becoming Lingjie Human Race, they would be able to gain the allegiance of Lingjie Human Race Followers and could lead these Lingjie Human Race Followers to resist those hateful Undead Monsters.
All of this was the ability bestowed upon them by Lord Shen Mu.
And it seemed that Lord Shen Mu could continue to make them evolve, offering more possibilities to become even stronger Lingjie Human Race.
After all, Zhang Caidong was a clear example right now.
“Very good, it seems everyone has been attracted by Zhang Caidong’s current transformation and understands that I can bring them the same changes as Zhang Caidong.”
Shen Mu had a faint smile on his face, for this was his desired outcome.
He wanted to use the comparison between Zhang Caidong and them to demonstrate his abilities. As long as they pledged allegiance to him, he could transform them into a higher, stronger, and more well-equipped Lingjie Human Race.
At this moment, Shen Mu pondered for a moment.
“Come in.” Shen Mu spoke softly to the outside of the conference room.
“We are here.” Immediately, two Holy Tree Knights guarding the door quickly walked in, bowing respectfully to Shen Mu.
“Go find 10 Swadian Militia.” Shen Mu slowly spoke, giving the order to the two Holy Tree Knights.
“Understood!”
Then, the two Holy Tree Knights nodded in agreement and turned to leave the reception room.
Not much time passed, perhaps only three or four minutes, before the sound of hurried footsteps was heard again outside the reception room.
The two Holy Tree Knights had returned.
And behind these two Holy Tree Knights, there stood 10 Swadian Militia.
Seeing Shen Mu, they all respectfully extended their hands and bowed in greeting: “Greetings, Lord Shen Mu!”
“Hmm.” Shen Mu nodded.
“These soldiers seem to be dressed exactly like Zhang Caidong. These soldiers should be the same type of soldier as Zhang Caidong, at the same rank.”
“If I heard correctly, Lord Shen Mu called out the name of these soldiers just now, it seems to be Swadian Militia.”
“Swadian Militia, does this mean that’s the name of that great power?”
“That’s right, the name of that great power should be Swadia. After all, in that fantasy-side crystal wall system, the main world’s territory is quite vast, so it’s understandable that some hidden forces haven’t been discovered.”
“But have you noticed? The name of this soldier type is actually ‘Militia.’ If we classify soldiers according to our Blue Star World’s old system, Militia seems to be just ordinary, semi-professional soldiers.”
“That’s truly the case; they are all Militia. Normally, they still perform labor and work, and are only organized into soldiers during wartime.”
“But even for Militia, look at their equipment; it’s a bit too good. Spears, wooden shields, pointed pickaxes, and hunting crossbows—it seems even better than the equipment of regular Human Race kingdoms we’ve learned about before.”
“Yes, yes, that’s exactly right. According to our former Spiritual Realm Followers, most Human Race civilian soldiers are just cannon fodder armed with a spear.”
“And have you noticed that on the surface of these Militia’s cotton robes, which seem to be sewn from cotton and cloth, there are also some sewn-on leather armor pieces.”
“This should be a simplified version of leather armor. With a shield, the defense is basically sufficient. I used to lead some ordinary Goblins; if I encountered these Swadian Militia, I’d have to run away quickly.”
“Truly worthy of Lord Shen Mu, he is truly too powerful.”
And inside the conference room, every single one of these Blue Star Humans had wide eyes, staring at the 10 Swadian Militia who had just arrived.
They then looked at Shen Mu with an expression of great reverence.
The worship in their eyes was completely undisguised; each of them greatly admired Shen Mu.
At this moment, the white data stream on Zhang Caidong’s body completely disappeared.
He had also recovered.
“Lord Shen Mu, this is truly too powerful! Whether it’s the combat experience integrated into my mind or the muscles of my body that have been amplified and strengthened, I feel the invaluable grace within it.”
Zhang Caidong looked at Shen Mu gratefully, bending deeply at his waist, bowing respectfully to Shen Mu with hands clasped, and loudly declaring, “Thank you for your grace, Lord Shen Mu. I will never forget your trust and generosity towards me in this lifetime.”
If Zhang Caidong was an actor before, now, because of the various changes appearing on his body and the rights he enjoyed, he had become quite devoted to Shen Mu.
Previously, at the Diesel Company, he had only enjoyed verbal rights; he was verbally considered a confidant, but in reality, he had not touched the true essence of the Diesel Company.
That is, the evolution belonging to the Pig-Headed People, and the soul-level resonance, which brought him absolute strength and a sense of security.
Now, Zhang Caidong had already enjoyed this core circle treatment with Shen Mu.
Not only did he complete a professional-level amplification and strengthening, but he was also assigned 10 Swadian Militia as his followers.
How could this not move him, not make him genuinely express his feelings for Shen Mu, and truly begin to trust Shen Mu?
That’s right, Zhang Caidong truly felt gratitude towards Shen Mu in his heart now.
