Everyone’s an Overlord: I Have the Military Unit Editor! - Chapter 7

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Using a technician and a laborer to exchange for a fire rune, fire element crystal fragment, and a blueprint for a machete was definitely profitable.

The other party did not lose out either.

Because currently, manpower was indeed expensive.

However, what Rene did not expect was that this woman, Jessica, wanted a woodcutter, not a construction worker.

That was a smart decision.

This was because laborers could also build buildings, and construction workers could only complete missions better and faster. There was not much difference in outcome.

But logging was different.

Woodcutter could cut trees. As one of the fixed resources for building a territory, the value of wood was very stable. Due to the difficulty of mining, wood would be a very popular resource for a long time to come.

Soon, the two reached a deal.

[Transaction completed.]

[Territory Population: Woodcutter -1, Worker -1]

[Congratulations on obtaining: Fire Rune+1, Fire Element Crystal Fragment+1, Machete Creation Blueprint+1]

There were three new items in his possession.

[Fire Rune] was a very small mark. The material was unknown and it emitted a red glow in the surroundings.

There was a hint of warmth as he held it in his hand.

[Fire Element Crystal Fragment] was a red crystal fragment. Apart from emitting light, it did not give Rene any feeling.

These two fire attribute materials were useful for experiments.

The last item, [Machete Creation Blueprint] was a pleasant surprise.

“With the blueprint, I can create machetes myself.”

“After that, if I use the editor, there’s a good chance of getting a warrior, right?”

Rene was quite hopeful.

However, the forging process could only be carried out by a blacksmith.

A blacksmith would only appear in a rank 2 guild.

Therefore, he had to quickly upgrade the guild.

In addition, forging a machete required iron. This material could be obtained after the Flame Slimes were combined.

Flame Slimes were much more valuable than civilian laborers.

He had to sell them for a good price.

With that in mind, he summoned a slime.

He activated his skill.

[‘Slime’ has been confirmed to be the basic material. Please add ‘body part material’.]

Fire rune?

Or a fragment of the fire element crystal?

If he used the wrong material, he might lose another cute little guy.

Rene considered, then decided to use the latter.

This material was more in line with his initial idea.

“Fire Element Crystal Fragment!”

Rene slipped the fragment into the editor.

The next moment, a notification appeared.

[(Slime) + (Fire Element Crystal Fragment) = (???)]

[The fee is 50 silver coins. Would you like to confirm this edit?]

50 silver coins?

The price rose again.

It should be that the rarer the material, the more expensive it was.

This should be good news for Rene. After all, the Flame Slimes were not ordinary slimes. It was reasonable to spend 50 silver coins.

“Yes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fire element crystal fragment on the interface turned into a ball of red energy, just like a raging fire.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see that it was different from flames.

At the very least, the slime did not show any signs of pain and distortion.

The red energy gradually fused with the slime and finally condensed into the final result of the formula.

Ding!

[Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Monster: Flame Slime.]

Unlike the other two edits, when this was completed, a flaming whirlwind swept up the Flame Slime.

As the light faded, Rene saw a crimson liquid that looked like a red jelly. Above it, there was a ball of fire that completely rid itself of the image of weakness.

Feeling the temperature rise, Rene was overjoyed. His plan had succeeded perfectly.

This Flame Slime was amazing.

[Race]: Slime

[Grade]: Elite

[Level]: 1

[Health]: 30

[Skill]: Flamethrower

[Description]: Overcoming its fear of fire, this slime has gradually mutated due to the change in the elements in its body. It can spit out flames and deal high damage to enemies.

An elite soldier!

The result of the fusion was a little unexpected.

This Flame Slime was actually an elite unit. Not only could it provide a stable illumination effect, but it also had powerful attacking ability.

The upper limit of 9 points of damage was considered very powerful among the rank 1 soldiers.

If Rene were to take this attack, the Flame Slime would be able to kill him with a mouthful of mucus. It was very vicious.

“The attack has a burning effect?”

Rene checked the skill of the Flame Slime and found that in addition to the high temperature, the slime could also cause burning effects on the target.

With this skill and the advantage of long-range, it should be able to challenge monsters with higher attributes than it.

However, it was difficult to edit such a monster.

Rene only had one ‘Fire Element Crystal Fragment’ and could not mass produce this monster.

This monster could not be sold.

After all, the attributes were so strong and it was an elite soldier. It was best to keep it in the territory.

“I can only see the effect of the fire rune.”

From the information hanging on the trading channel, although fire runes were also precious, they were not as rare as fire element crystals.

After all, it was the main material for creating rune tools, so the production quantity definitely could not be too low.

Now, it was up to the editor.

Hopefully, it would not fail.

Otherwise, if he lost both the slime and the fire rune, it would make his heart ache for a long time.

Gritting his teeth, Rene used the skill again.

[‘Slime’ has been confirmed to be the basic material. Please add ‘body part material’.]

“Fire rune.”

Rene threw the fire rune into it.

The next moment.

A notification appeared.

[(Slime) + (Fire Rune) = (???)]

[The fee is 30 silver coins. Would you like to confirm this edit?]

As expected, the fees were reduced.

He wondered if it would work.

The effect of fire runes was to use array formations to condense fire elements. Under normal circumstances, it was used to add fire attribute effects to a certain tool. It was still very different from a pure fire element crystal.

Huff—

Taking a deep breath, Rene chose to be certain.

The next moment, a familiar scene appeared.

The fire rune formed red energy strips that wrapped around the slime. Countless lines revolved, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Soon, the light dissipated.

Although there was no fire whirlwind, there was no distortion of the slime’s figure during the fusion process either.

There seemed to be hope.

Under Rene’s expectant gaze, a pleasant notification sounded.

Ding!
