Chapter 3: Minion Earning It's Pay
Ooh it seems my Miner Minion finally found some stones.
Let's check on how much resource it mined.
Inventory Tab
-[70 Wood] [120 Leaves] [x1 Mutated Apple]
-[20 Stone] [x4 Unrefined Iron Ore] [x1 Quartz]
-[x1 Mica]
Well It's getting It's job done, alright i could use these resources. Let's look at the exchange rates for these.
System Shop: Exchange Rate
- Wood (1 Credit per Wood)
- Stone (1 credit per stone)
- Unrefined Iron Ore (10 Credits per piece)
- Quartz (50 Credits per Quartz)
- Mica (50 Credits per Mica)
Well i Don't really know how the value is evaluated but it seems fair and i Don't think the shop would really scam me, i mean i dont really see a need or benefit for it.
But lets see i can afford to sell the quarts and Mica for creds the rest i need for some essential crafts i mean wood and stone is more less extremely important for my House. Also as it seems i am quite close to getting the intial requirements for the house. I just need to figure out a way to get the other things such as wooden planks and pillars and stone tiles, hopefully should be doable.
I spent another hour practising my Archery which seems to be improving at an observable rate. Soon enough i felt confident of my aim now It's time to hunt some meat.
I commanded my Warrior Minions to surround me in a Triangle Formation for some extra protection with that i left my intial clearing area.
The forest seemed quite alive after i left the clearing. Insects of various kind could be seen everywhere both familiar and alien looking. I even spotted a purple colored snake hanging from a tree.
It took around 15 minutes of walking around before i found the perfect prey..a deer.
Well atleast something that has some familiarity with a deer. It has large ash white antlers and it looks to be about 2.5 times larger than a normal deer with four powerfull legs and muscled body that looks like It's bullet proof.
I am not far from it so i nock my bow but before i fire i command two of my Minions to surround it.
The Deer peacefully eating some grass glanced at It's back and found an odd looking large creature coming towards it. The deer thought how strange it was as the creature was taller than it and it carried a grey stick and what looked like to be a small tree bark on It's other hand. It's tiny brain Couldn't remember why it never saw such a large predator before.
The deer raised It's antlers up and made an agressive charging motion towards the creature warning it to not to intrude upon It's territory but the mettalic creature as if oblivious continued to near it.
The deer charged and then there was a dull thud It's antlers penetrated the kite shield but Couldn't penetrate Through the minion it seemed to be stuck, the minion taking advantage raised It's other dominant arm and took a swing at the deer.
In one fluid motion the deer lost one of It's antlers and some parts of its flesh near It's antler was also gone.
The deer was lucky as it was somewhat able to get It's head out the shield otherwise it would've died a pitifull death.
The deer now lost one of It's antlers and another of It's antler was twisted losing some sharpness and the warrior still seemed good to go.
This time the minion made a dash for the deer surprising it and with that it was able to put another grevious gash in the deer's body.
While the deer was contemplating about running away another minion made way for it sneaking from behind and this time a sharp sword easily made It's way Through the skull of the deer. It died tragically to an unfair fight from the start.
Wow i am speechless i just ordered the Warrior Minions to surround and attack it but Didn't expect them to kill it so quickly and smoothly, it seems these warrior type Minion come with their own combat experience and skills it means i can be a bit more bold with them.
I put my bow away feeling a bit sad, i Didn't even get a proper chance to shoot the Large deer. Well. I doubt i would be even able to penetrate It's hard skin only my Minions being over 6ft tall and possesing such bulky frames could propably do it.
On that note Let's check their stats.
[Minion Menu
Hp- 450/500
Energy- Good
Exp- 15/50
Status- Slightly Injured and Tired]
[Minion Menu
Hp- 500/500
Energy- Excellent
Exp- 15/50
Status- Perfect]
Oh it seems the mechanic works in a way the one dealing the killing blow gets the most exp but the others who help also get some exp but not a lot. The one Minion i kept beside me got no exp which means they need to be directly involved.
Anyway Let's check the corpse.
[Collect Mutated Deer Corpse Y/N]
I clicked yes and the deer corpse disappeared in pixelated ashes. Let's check what i harvested from this in the Inventory.
Inventory Tab
-[70 Wood] [120 Leaves] [x1 Mutated Apple]
-[20 Stone] [x4 Unrefined Iron Ore] [x1 Quartz]
-[x1 Mica] [Mutated Deer Meat x10]
-[Mutated Deer Hide x5]
-[Mutated Deer Bones x10] [Monster Core x1]
Okay so this one was mutated i mean i could kinda guess it after all the apple from the tree so had the same tag it seems the lore behind all of this might be very intresting.
But first Let's check the Monster core thing if i remember correct to create a minion you need some monster core.
Minion Construction Tab:

Okay so i have enough resources to produce some minion except the Wariors they require refined iron yet i Don't know how to do that even though i have iron ore. Maybe I'll find a way to do that later for now i should make some more Minions.
Let's see i can make another Wood-cutter Minions stone Isn't really a big necessity right now.
Like before shining sigils formed and out came the Minion. I told it to Cut wood alongside the other Wood-cutter Minion.
Like that they should be able to collect a lot more wood quickly. Now then Let's check how much meat I've actually got.
I pulled a single piece of meat from the inventory. Whoa this was a lot of meat just a single piece and I'd say It's over 10Kg worth of meat. This should last me quite a while.
Time to roast this meat. I took out some stones and wood to create a fire pit then i cut the meat into smaller pieces then skewered them on top of the fire pit.
"Lovely, would be even better if i had some spices to work with. Ah well i should be happy that i at least got some meat"
