096. Training Pyers

  Although only 31 pyers from the Murloc Guild were willing to accept Li Aozi's quest, this was exactly the number he had expected. Li Aozi was very satisfied, and after awakening their Omega Energy, he began teag them teiques and css knowledge hands-on.

  These pyers would be stationed in Triaown for a long time, undergoing Li Aozi's training. Ohey pleted all the training, they would receive the generous 50,000 experience points Li Aozi had promised, but this valuable experience would soon be recimed through “learning skills” and “renting Omega Energy.”

  However, Li Aozi still provided the pyers with plenty of ways to develop eically. He specifically booked the Triaown dueling arena for pyers to spar and pete, facilitating the sele process for the ic quota. The duels would attract spectateing ticket revenue, and pyers would receive a share of the profits.

  Additionally, the people le Toreciated these hard-w ahusiastic Tianhuan pyers. On one hand, though the pyers had no bottom lihey were trustworthy and responsible as long as there were tasks and rewards. Oher hand, they were robust borers who eagerly took on all sorts of odd, tough, and dangerous jobs. Even for life-threatening reaissance missions, the pyers would rush forward enthusiastically.

  "pared to the vile behavior of Tianhuan scum, at least they be sidered human."

  In fact, with the pyers using “disguise mode,” they didn’t disrupt the local residents' lives too much. This made Warlord Aud look at Li Aozi with newfound respect—being able to trol such a rge group of superhuma Li Aozi's status in Tianhuan likely o be reevaluated.

  But soon, everyoiced something peculiar about these “Tianhuan people.” Sometimes, mid-versation, they'd suddenly close their eyes and disappear, reappearing from who knows where. After killing monsters, they always seemed to want to rummage uhe bodies.

  Of course, their most signifit feature was that they seemed impossible to kill.

  No matter how severe their injuries were, they could lie on the ground, calling out to their teammates with full vigor, “Help me, help me!” Their teammates would calmly walk over, tap their knees, give them a shot of adrenaline, or apply a meaningless bandage, and somehow forcefully bring them back to life.

  In respohe lord sent people to find Li Aozi, expressing : citizens were starting to suspect these people were some kind of biochemical experiments. After all, while the four nations wereirely evil in their biochemical bs, their sins were still too numerous to record, and they had left deep scars oside world.

  Li Aozi didn’t bother hiding mud subtly hihat these pyers were already outliers in the four nations. If you treated them well, they would work hard for you.

  "You call them... 'Desders.'"

  Aud, being a warlord, immediately started to scheme after seeing the Desders’ impressive abilities and uraits. "If I could get more warriors like this, maybe..."

  "If you want to and them in battle, it’s not impossible, but they might not be as useful as you imagine. Small-scale infiltration is fine, but fet about anything else."

  Li Aozi brushed him off casually.

  The level cap for version 1.0 was only level 20, and these pyers definitely wouldn’t reach that in the short 15-day beta period.

  Even if they made it to Alpha rank, everyone khe realities of frontline warfare. On average, it took 220,000 rounds of ammunition to kill a single soldier in the four nations, and in a localized battle, they might e 160,000 artillery shells and 40 drones in a single day. To take over a vilge, they might send in one or two thousand soldiers.

  You could be a legendary elite soldier or a martial arts prodigy, but it wouldn’t matter. The moment you jump out of an armored transport otlefield, a reactive armment from a mobile tank could kill you.

  In ersonal strength and numbers were just statistics. Even at Gamma rank, if the four nations truly wao, they could coldly treat you as high-grade on fodder.

  Wealth, productivity, logistics, diplomatifluence, willpower, and strategic thinking—in other words, preherength—were the real measures in warfare.

  Aud wasn’t foolish and quickly put his schemes aside—though he had no idea that in a distant future, with pyers averaging level 280, they’d be boung around like mad dogs in Star Abyss, causing headaches for even narrative-level civilizations.

  There was still some time before the formal start of the Kowlooing, and Li Aozi had reached a bottlene his strength, so he had time to personally teach the pyers how to avoid the early pitfalls of the 【Mutant】 css.

  After the Gunt battlefield, he had no more reliable sources of experience, and low-level enemies and monsters were no longer rewarding due to experience penalties. It was better to improve the pyers’ bat abilities to prepare them for infiltrating the Beitiao Group.

  The key issue was that the quests Li Aozi had were too difficult and were stu his hands.

  To be more precise, the pletion dition C of the quest "Remember It" involved rooting out the sponsor behind the Abyss Humanitarian anization, and Li Aozi might be able to find a breakthrough from N4.

  But as for the quest "White Frost-Pted Bones," Li Aozi had no clue where to start.

  For quests of this level, each of the four nations probably had their own main storylihat would trigger upon reag a certain point.

  Eaation had its own problems: the gender fli Frost-Pted, the internal strife in Red Arrow, the military turmoil in Tianhuan, and the developmental stagnation in Zhengxu—all of these issues could be traced back to the disappearance of the sun caused by the Camity. But while it was easy to talk about, getting the four nations to admit their problems were reted to the Camity, to reach a sensus, and to work together to find a breakthrough—that was nothing short of a pipe dream.

  pared to dealing with those issues, training the pyers was far easier.

  Pyers were great at spreading teiques and styles, and as information duits, Li Aozi had trol of the forums. Now, with a group of workers, word of the improved 【Mutant】 css spread. Many video creators even made guides during the beta phase, reasonable analyses of the css's features and future potential.

  But in the short term, it wasn’t likely that the pyers would show any meaningful results.

  While teag the pyers, Li Aozi also obtained some medical knowledge and skills through els in the Red Arrow Empire. He learhem all and applied them to his 【Biochemist】 css, using his css talents to raise his 【stitution】 stat, just in case he entered enemies dealing real damage and o prevent being critically injured.

  Naturally, this included the subject Li Aozi had longed for: "Pharmaetics." As soon as he acquired it, he leveled his proficy up to the bachelor’s level. After a few experiments, the new DM-3ent showed immediate effect upon iion. Without hesitation, Li Aozi expanded produ, putting all the produ lines into making the new Omega Energy reagent.

  He sent some batches to Sislon to increase the number of superhumans, sold some to pyers for their luck with rare draws, a most of the supply for himself.

  For the period, Li Aozi essentially became "gshu Arnold," stantly iing himself with the test Omega Energy awakening reagents. Once he reached Beta rank, mutation occurred every 10 levels, so he freely used the reagents without w about side effects from choosing mutation dires.

  After all, to him, the body was just a biological mae with impnts. If it broke down, he could just transfer his sciousness along with his Omega Energy to a new one.
