Average subscription: 1313. Looking at these numbers, I feel even more energetic. I’ll work hard to add more chapters!

————————————————

[Building Name: Dragonbone Laboratory

Level: 1 (Upgradable)

Properties:

Death Avatar residence and resurrection point. Whether the Death Avatar is dismissed from battle, or is killed in battle, it will reappear here. Summoning the Death Avatar will also be done from here.

The Death Avatar is no longer subject to combat or time limits and will no longer return to nothingness.

Upon each return, the Death Avatar will automatically restore its health and replenish its spent combat skill usage.

Each battle’s spoils gained by the Death Avatar can be saved in the laboratory and chosen for loading in the next battle.

Creates regional synergy with other buildings that produce Bone Dragons, Ghost Dragons, and Wraith Dragons; all undead dragon-type unit production speed +1.]

[Note: The Dragonbone Laboratory cannot alter the Death Avatar’s inherent rules. The player cannot use the Death City gate to bring the Death Avatar into battle without mana consumption.]

Looking at the information for the Dragonbone Laboratory, Gu Xi clearly paused.

The Dragonbone Laboratory’s details contained both expected and unexpected aspects.

Initially, Gu Xi’s idea was to build the Dragonbone Laboratory, allowing the Death Avatar to reside within it, living within Alierdo City.

If needed in battle, Gu Xi would use the Death City’s skill to send the Death Avatar to the battlefield, thus reducing mana consumption.

But judging from the current information, this seems impossible.

Especially the note below, directly negating this possibility, leaving Gu Xi unable to exploit any bugs.

The only certainty now is that the Death Avatar can exist permanently, unlike before, when it would automatically disappear after a battle or upon reaching a time limit.

If Gu Xi were ruthless, he could simply leave the Death Avatar in the Scattered Immortals’ Garden – it would be the most dazzling presence in the garden, its summoned creatures dwarfing those of others. (This refers to showing off a powerful creature.)

However, this point seemed insignificant to Gu Xi; he wasn’t using it to show off.

When facing strong enemies, Gu Xi would still need to dismiss and resummon the Death Avatar to exploit the skill’s loopholes – the necessary mana consumption remains.

Conversely, the option to load previous battle spoils surprised Gu Xi.

During previous battles, the Death Avatar’s absorption of various enemy powers clearly indicated its growth characteristics.

Gu Xi had thought this would continuously improve.

It was unexpected that he could choose how to allocate these gains in the laboratory.

This meant that the Death Avatar could become a close-combat tank dragon, with its skeletal structure reinforced with steel, increasing its size and weight tenfold.

Or it could be a high-speed dragon, enveloped in destructive black mist, boasting incredible movement speed.

Gu Xi could tailor the Death Avatar’s abilities to suit the enemy he faced.

With the Dragonbone Laboratory, the Death Avatar’s attacks would become more targeted and extreme.

“Sir.”

As Gu Xi studied the Dragonbone Laboratory, Luna arrived. “The Dragonbone Laboratory is complete.”

“Hmm, I see. How many resources do we have left?”

“We still have plenty of wood and stone, but the negative energy is completely depleted.”

“It seems that building this Dragonbone Laboratory put a lot of pressure on Alierdo City, but that won’t be the case from now on. Luna, prepare to assemble all the troops. I’ll go to the tavern for intel; once we get it, we’ll take the other two districts in one fell swoop.”

Gu Xi raised his Frostbite Staff, pointing towards the sky.

“Death Avatar!”

At Gu Xi’s command, the Death Avatar, draining his mana, surged towards the sky in a black mist.

Then, as if understanding the building’s function, the Death Avatar circled in the air before descending above the Dragonbone Laboratory.

The Death Avatar descended, gathering all the surrounding black mist, revealing its metallic skeletal frame.

After settling into the Dragonbone Laboratory, the Death Avatar glanced at Gu Xi, seemingly awaiting orders.

“Improve yourself. Meet me at the bridge outside the upper district in half an hour.”

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s command, the Death Avatar immediately flew off, clearly unwilling to stay in the Dragonbone Laboratory for half an hour.

Gu Xi could only shake his head helplessly.

Thankfully, Gu Xi could clearly feel that as long as the Death Avatar heard his commands, whether to attack or return to the Dragonbone Laboratory, it didn’t consume his mana.

Adding to this the ability to restore the Death Avatar’s health and skills in the Dragonbone Laboratory, it was clearly indicating that within Alierdo City, the Death Avatar could be used indefinitely.

This relieved much of Gu Xi’s frustration.

It also made Gu Xi understand that the greatest benefit of building the Dragonbone Laboratory wasn’t for external battles, but for the Alierdo City conquest.

This further strengthened Gu Xi’s confidence. He turned to Luna.

“How is it? Isn’t the Death Avatar looking very energetic?”

“Very energetic. He seems eager to fight, sir. Should we let him handle one district alone, do you think?”

Gu Xi looked at Luna in surprise; he didn’t expect her to joke around.

However, staring into Luna’s empty eye sockets, Gu Xi saw no hint of humor on her face.

Gu Xi fell silent.

“Is that even feasible?”

“It depends on the final intelligence, but I believe it is. We’ve witnessed the Death Avatar’s combat strength; whether one-on-one or many-on-one, it possesses sufficient combat power. As long as there are no level 12+ enemies in these two districts, the Death Avatar can absolutely handle one district alone.”

Gu Xi’s eyes lit up.

Of course, his Death Avatar was strong enough, and none of Alierdo City’s districts had particularly powerful enemies.

If there were indeed enemies exceeding level 10, with his current troops, he wouldn’t dare to engage them.

As for enemies below level 10, would the Death Avatar fear them?

Absolutely not.

Understanding this, Gu Xi’s eyes gleamed.

“That’s right! Luna, go prepare the troops. I’m going to see the tavern keeper. Today, we’re taking those two districts!”

Gu Xi tapped his Frostbite Staff against the Evil Coffin, and the Evil Coffin swiftly carried him away from the pier district towards the tavern. Meanwhile, Luna began mobilizing the city’s troops in preparation for the upcoming battle.
